it has been a violent 18 years since the us invaded the country in march 2003, with more than 4500 us troops killed and hundreds of thousands of civilian dance. despite then president george bush's mission accomplished declaration and made 2003 the fight, as we now know, would rage on even after the fall of saddam hussein. by april 2004, america had 144000 troops on the ground in iraq, and the numbers would fluctuate over the years. as us forces would fight a bloody campaign against the rocky insurgency and arcada. in august 2010, then president obama declared an end to the 7 year combat mission in iraq. and after the 1st major draw down, just over 47000 troops remained by 2011. the number would draw to just a few 100 by 2014. when the us joined the rocky and kurdish forces in the fight against isis. as of january 20, 212500 us troops remained in iraq. both the u. s. and the rocky government agreed

in april to transition to a train and advised mission, meaning some us forces would remain on the ground, as has been the case in the past to help train advise, and equip rocky forces. now the white house reportedly plans to fully end the u. s . combat mission in the country by the end of the year with president biden saying, the united states needs to quote, fight the battles for the next 20 years. not the last 20 or rule in iraq. b as a dealing with not just to be available to continue to train, to assist to help and to deal with isis, whereas is as right, but we are not going to be brought in here in a combat mission. but as history has shown with us interventionism focusing on the future and not the past is easier said than done, particularly when it comes to the middle east in iraq. isis, despite being severely weakened, continues to rear its ugly head,

carry our bombings and attacks on both security forces and civilians. and both the us and israel continue to view iranian back militias in iraq as a threat to regional stability. so while prison and bite and may be focusing on future wars, passwords in the middle east often come back to haunt the united states for new years. use john hardy to help us for today's announcement. we are joined by forward putting on official, michael moore. michael, thanks for joining me on this. i know you watch the press conference area which you me to call little little lackluster. there was the pomp and circumstance that you would expect with a reader from a foreign country, even iraq. the talent has been set and that's what was now so that, that's what they had said. but one of us to actually be withdrawing. do you believe all the military facets from iraq, they're going to withdraw combat? they're not going to withdraw, or they will replace them really with teachers and advisors and intel support,

which is, which is what the prime minister wants. and he's reacting frankly to internal pressures, especially from the sheer, the, the, the, the popular mobilization forces. i want to all the forces out period. however, they've basically agreed that they'll go along with, haven't the type of us personnel there that can provide the training and the intel . and so we'll see what happens. but the prime minister has a lot of internal problems and he's trying to balance between his, his wanting to support from the us. but he also has to work with iran. so that poses, we're talking about right now. and also talk about you said the ones that got behind the training the in town is it about but he, the actual physical buys are more importantly, the resources that come with the money, the aid it comes with the combination of the 2. and they can't, they can't, there are certain types of equipment, for example, that whitman,

that was the way that you get the technology that probably you can find in the desert or acquires us us support and expertise. yeah. and again, they're not combat forces. that's, that was the key and that's what a lot of the internal people really wanted to really objected to at the time. so, but i think people there are realistic enough to know that they need some kind of presence in order to try and maintain that tactical level and fighting level for the, for the iraqi security forces. otherwise, the way back the way to where they were back in 2000 right after 2011 where, where isis just swept in front. and that's what we want to talk about. what is different about at this time you did see how these baggage, you know, the time we've gone and come back around and come back. what is different? what is different this time is that unlike 2011, when we withdrew, there has been this popular mobilization forces that they're sheer. and lot of them are back. not all, but many of them are backed by iran. and they,

they are committed to fighting isis and they, they have the experience, they've got the, and fact they're part of the iraqi security forces. they report to the prime minister. so this is an addition, and i think that this could help keep isis at bay to, to a point and not recreate a, a caliphate like they did back in 2014. and so it's a, it's a pretty dicey thing for him. he's, he's walking a tight rope politically, but the united states has got to think about, well, what, what do we want out of all of this? and if it try to maintain some modicum of stability in the middle east, that'll be fine. but they're going to be some other outside forces. they're going to come into play here, that iraq will just be one faster than you got. you got 11 and about ready to implode. and for example, and, and you and, and you got to israel who doesn't particularly like the influence of the pop

popular mobiles. and i want to bring in iran, where does iran plan all of this? how are they taking the news? say this time i that americans are getting other read. well they probably want to 6 years ago, but that's beside but i, you know, they've got, if, if the popular moses ation forces are okay with it. that means that i think that implies iran is going to go along with it. plus they got iran has its own issues. it's got to do with internally. so there's isis remains a threat to iran just as isis remains the threat to iraq. that's the reality. and the united states has decided to stay in iraq principally to deal with isis. and it is a growing threat. they are getting stronger, not only and not only getting longer wire, the united states backing out. well, we're not launching, we're going to go ahead and allow the security forces to do their job,

which is what they've been trained and paid to do. unlike what happened in, in 2014, when they threw up their, threw away their weapons by the thousands and deserted, allowing isis to swoop in like up in mosul area. for example, let's just hope this is not due. another days i've been, we're coming back here years going back in circle, but that's how it's been in this region. it can change, it's gotta be watched. it's gotta be watched carefully. and meantime, united states is trying to pivot eastward toward port asia. so how did, how do you, how do you, which i am sure something iran probably welcomes distraction for the us course. like always great chatting with you. michael. thanks so much. now after the break place apartments across the country are finding themselves short staffed by dealing with a serious spike. and by the prime, right, we've got a full report ahead, plus our panelists. we'll give you the 360 view. we'll be right back. the

the the the the, the the the the the last when i was the wrong one all room just don't the room. yes to fill out the scene because the after

an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves, well the part we choose to look so common ground in algorithm. so neural networks have been following us every where we look online because our relationships are what matters most. and that's how we find meaning and how we make sense in our place in silicon valley see, don't mention in the slick presentations. however, the ghost workers who train the software human they're involved in every step of the process when you're using anything online. but we're sold as this miracle of automation behind your screen is vulnerable workforce. that seems algorithm that's for next to nothing. on a very good day, i could do 5 hours now. a really bad day. i could do 10 years worth is removable by

design. it's about labor costs, but it's also about creating layers of western responsibility between those who solicit the kind of work and need it. and those who do it for all of you out there that regret not being around the soviet union at the time when they are collapse. you know, a lot of people understand about that. a lot of interesting things. math time, was there writing in the journal. anyway, they get to have that experience today right here, and the good old usa ah, with me

ah ah, i use the advocates of police brutality swept headlines at last year. there has been a major effort to define the police in some us cities. but is that decision contributing to violence, crime rates articles, want it? natasha suite takes a look at the violent crime skyrockets. there is a big step back from the funding. the police. in fact, some cities are looking to reverse that decision altogether. violent crime is on

the rise in many urban cities throughout the us. the baltimore police department is so short on staff with some 600 vacancies, that they're requesting federal police officers assist in fighting crime throughout the city. earlier this month, 2 officers were shot in baltimore at a shopping mall during an arrest. the officers were seriously ill when arriving at the hospital, but did survive what we saw today. what exactly, what officers go through. these are the most dangerous situation imaginable. but they did their job with bravery, with courage and professionalism for these 7 here in a row, baltimore's on pace to have 300 homicides in 1000 shootings. by the end of the year, maryland governor larry hogan said, we can't defend the police, which is the merest plan. we have to invest more in our police 190 murder. and now since last year this would be shocking to the conscious of every person and also the only peer where you live, the d. c police chief saying he was quote,

mad as hell after a shooting in the local circle neighborhood, he said the current justice system is ineffective and that criminals shouldn't be coddled. he also explained as a result of the pandemic courts have barely been open leaving many criminals to run free. thursday, shooting comes just a week after another shooting occurred just outside the washington national stadium, injuring 3 people. the night before the stadium may have a separate shooting, and dc left a 6 year old girl dead. and in new york, a reward is being offered to find a suspect in this robbery. and in a gray hoodie, a scene punching a victim thrown from his bike, the suspect knocked out the victim by kicking him in the head. he then takes items from his pocket before fleeing, but at least one man still thinks police are the problem. according to a new filing from the federal election commission, george soros has given $1000000.00 to an activist group working to defend the police. it's all comes as violent crime is clearly surging throughout the country. records indicate soros sent $1000000.00 to his color of change pack on may 14th.

the group has called police scene a violent institution that must end now in 2018 thorough spent millions to help elect the current. los angeles county district attorney murders are a 20 percent along with other violent crime. it's similar to philadelphia we're sort of spent another 2000000 helping a lot in their district attorney homicide. there have risen 35 percent this year. we're putting for an easy hughes and harsh suite r t to give us the $360.00 view on this issue. we bring in civil rights attorney, robert patello and president phil shape with eagles. ed martin. thank you john for joining me. thanks. got it. you know, i'm going to start with the robert on this one. you know, it's only been a year since we saw a violent protest against the place with much of the violence actually happening. it's the police that were on duty. we remember those videos, please being spit on being, being things thrown at them. they were just, you know, in the streets with their full, full gear on robert, we're seeing this strong uptick in brazen a violent crime happening the streets of america. do you think there's any to have

the correlation? absolutely, there's no correlation between the 2. and i think it's kind of ridiculous to draw the conclusion such what we have however, seen is that in cities across the country where there have been attempts to hopefully the officers accountable for the bad apples in the bunch. we've seen police unions decided to be massive. we've heard a baltimore, it's us, it's under police officers down there been mass retirement from new york city. and the city of atlanta were, i'm from you, had officers who have refused to respond to any calls itself or officer down call. so police every, this is any informal police accountability or attempts to hold the whole bad cops accountable, which is an offer a list of the uptake. we also cannot look at the fact that we compare it to 2020, 2020. everybody was in the house. if you compare the number of year over year, we're 20192015, baltimore, which was violent in 2192820172015, the chicago. another time to rethink the way we do policing the country and stop blaming people who simply want better bullying thing for the topic ticking crime.

ok. and is that how you see it? and i'm going to ask, because a year ago this was all a reaction to the george floyd case. and all the events which have followed you think they've had an effect on metro police departments. and it's robert points out there are only responding to officer down calls. why do you think that is? well, look, i mean, 1st of all, let me point out something you show these images. i think it was baltimore new york, other places. do you notice that the, the, the cow, the character or the, the type of law enforcement, african american wide hispanic law enforcement. you know, there's, if there's ever a place where it may make it sound like america's burning over raise our cities or police by lots of african americans and others. look, here's what we know. george soros funded efforts in the last 5 years to destroy our prosecutorial system. that's not against the law, except i happen to think that he's not, we shouldn't be an american citizen. we could do another show on that. but you know, we know that's what's happened. so we have, as you point out, prosecutors who get into office like in my home city in st. louis and the prosecutor says, i won't let these cops testify there on a no test the by list or,

you know, we weren't, we're work with them now. we have cops, of course, last summer there was quote unquote, protests in most major cities. by the way, i don't think anything was actually resolved, but there is no protest this year. i wonder why it looks like it was 2020 funded. so what we know now is our cities are hell holes where people are shot, you mentioned a 6 year old girl killed. that's only one example 70 people shot over the weekend in chicago. the people in charge of those cities are largely white liberal democrats. some blacks, but we didn't say what was happening there, destroying our people. they're letting them die. the connection is clear when you allow lawlessness and say you're going to deep on the police. you know what happens? good cops, quit and bad cubs find other ways to do things that aren't so nice. so, you know, what i would say is in every major city, disband the cops and start again with especially that those the unions and start

again, but don't be fund them. just get rid of the mostly the liberal democrats who are in charge. well, and that's also politicians, robert, i'm going to respond to that, but you know, i want to bring our d. c please. chief robert context said and said there was a lack of accountability as a problem. i agree with him on that. now he was not referring to mass car incarceration more holding the people in those communities who are making them unsafe. so i want to obviously give your feedback to add on this issue, but who is the actual chief of police talking about robert, and what should be a punishment enough to stop them and get them off the street from causing even more violent crime? all of i've been doing criminal defense for the last 15 years. i've never talked to a criminal or talk to my who committed a crime. it's a while i reviewed the municipal code to find out what the punishment was for this crime. prior to going to not going to the lady inside the head or holding for an open gunpoint, we have to look at the societal factors that lead and point toward crime. we have to look at an over criminalization of the of the war war on drugs. was drugs, one, rug, one, the war on drugs and it was kind of,

we recognize that change or policy can come, do we have to look at the economic and meet people to decide that is more economic a economically advantageous for them to commit crimes and robbery than to get jobs in our community, we have to also look at the way to we structure policing. it's insane to me, but the communities that have the most heavy police presence who have the highest crime. also, i think that we will look at suburban community to have less crime, look at what they're doing. they have better school, better rose, better social services, better access to health care, better housing for those individuals. so we work on building it from the ground up the medieval idea that we think we need to make the punishment works and that will stop crime. we tried that in the ninety's after the crime with the 980 some reagan, it didn't work. we talk a lot about dividing crime build, that was a response. the lawlessness holding quote of the 980, it didn't work is time to reform the way we do things well and we get in here for the last word. you know, the mayor of those 25 major cities, they're cutting police budgets. however, same time, they're spending a lot more money on their own private security for those who elected office is that

fair. and i have to wonder as robert point out, how are these kind of people getting re elected in the cities over and over their heavy with crime, they keep getting reelected? why is there no accountability on their part? well, just to quick 2 or 3 quick things, one is you have that one, please chief and african american. so there's no accountability. what do you means as you can knock an old lady? and ahead and let the guy walk, you have to have a system that hold them accountable. but just let me say this. there's only one systemic racism problem in this country. my opinion, although i'm not african american, i just have, i'm observer and it's the school system. so it was alluded to by my colleague, the school systems are trapping young african american men, mostly men and boys and girls, i guess, and spanish and others. and you know, rooms at the school teachers unions which are more white, democrat liberals, they say they care about poor people. they say they care about african americans. now there be funding charter schools, and they won't fund any kind of school choice. so you say, what can we do better, get the hell out of the cities if you can, and get to a place where you can get

a real education instead of these tell holes and then don't be surprised when the people that work downtown wants somebody to make sure that you're not going to get knocked in the head like you said, no lady so that you can walk to get a bagel. this is not hard to do. the question is joe biden share. i've got a teacher union in the white house in my bedroom, dr. joe biden. so nothing's on the table to say black and brown kids in our failing schools. and it's been a 50 year problem, a sin of white of watt on every democrats who pretends it's ok. it's an outrage. it's disgusting. it's a crime against humanity. and now we're debating why we want to keep our st shape. it's because the teachers unions have sense our kids, the lives of crime, pregnancy, or early death. oh ad robber, we could get to this conversation education and we will, i promise, and thank you so much for joining us on this one. the justice department has issued a letter saying a new york is off the hook in regards to a governor cuomo as

a cover up of co death in nursing homes. now this follows a request for the department of justice regarding the march 2020 order from the new york health department requiring nursing homes to admit medically stable cove in 1900 of that of patients who were discharged from the hospital. so is this the end for those who are looking to hold governor cuomo, responsible for the resulting desson elder care facilities. and what about the investigations into other states? i, pennsylvania, michigan, new jersey, who passed bills mirroring new york. while we bring in our legal analyst in new york, president himself, lionel wydell, i heard the story over the weekend. i wanted to get on air. i wanted you to be on air. i know this makes you livid. so help me out here. does this mean there are no more federal investigations into whether or not the most fragile of demographics. during the pandemic exposure to cobit 19 could have been prevented. done, finish through everything about him. he's the hunter biden. of the empire state.

he's the, he's the n t for the of the empire said this is unbelievable. you know, was just reading in new york times in july, 172000 right here for the 817-2000 residents. and the boys of nursing homes have died from complications is from the new york time, the new york alone, 15000. he is the most prolific serial killer in the history of crime by definition. so the question that i have, and many people have, especially when people keep in mind when older americans who went to spend their last days on this planet, o completely shut off from family date that many could argue should not have died in the 1st place. but what does this man have to do? because you have to shoot somebody live on tv. we also have ethics probes which really don't matter, sexual harassment probes which of course,

you're going nowhere. this go show you yet again, that he gets away with murder. and i don't want to be too too, too heavy with the term murder. but if this is a negligent homicide or manslaughter, i don't know what is well, and that's what i have to worry about. why don't we talk about it? whose fault was who the buyer is that china is it to you as is it donald trump's? because he didn't do this, this in this, in this case, you have a direct order from the governor from the state, depart from their, their health department saying, put these people that are positive in our most fragile type of residents. and oh, my gosh chart. it just spread through it. i think governor cuomo responded to this news. oh he, he is medical, he's the man is completely devoid of any kind of vengeance in heart empathy. but i got to tell you something right now, i can look out my window and the comfort. remember the comfort that failed up the

hudson and people were clapping. people were running across the west side highway, almost gonna run over clapping a welcoming ship where i see the 2134 people down the street in new york was the javits center where they had 3000 they had they, i don't know what they used the job isn't for there were so many places to put coven positive people who what you have to go out of your way to put them and to configure them into nursing homes after president trump. wait a minute. wait a minute, scotty. i think i'm on is that be, do you know, do you think maybe that if somebody had availed themselves of the comfort and a lot of the programs which were federally based and granted and made possible by president donald trump, do you think maybe this might have been one of the reasons that might have led them

be rather less than enthusiastic over this. because i'm telling you, i've got to say this, i don't want to make this political but tough. right now when we're talking about vaccine to vaccine. remember, you're forgetting what was the guy who came up with this? so politics permeates everything. right? andrew cuomo can do anything he wants contour buying can do anything you want and people go down the list. this is just on country a lot of 15, sorry for the real quick. we legal side of it. we know that 1000 does follow that those orders, but is it fair to hold him accountable for them unless it could be proven that it was just that it was just not just poor judge a bit. he was actually intending to do harm in the i of the law can actually proven for this real quick 10 2nd. it would be virtually impossible for him to do because there were so many layers of excuses and defense that he would be able to avail himself of be virtually impossible criminal. and that's why have you on here. why

no, thanks for your answers. that's all we have for today. show. thanks for watching. ah, ah ah, ah right now there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. it's profitable to sell food that is fatty and sugary and faulty and addicted. not at the individual level. it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change as obesity epidemic, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific it's found the ah, what's driving the. it's corporate. me

. ah, is your media reflection of reality? ah, the in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for the tycer lation community? are you going the right way or are you being somewhere direct? what is truth? what is in a world corrupted, you need to defend the so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, in the binding ministration tells us the world days is the star, the choice between democracy and authoritarianism. business make any sense. the

balance of power in the world system is moving to multicultural and is not defined by audiological preferences. in my phone, i 69. i don't, i just saw up dollar form isis fighters and they're now boarding a philippine naval ship with john $900.00 jeff, aren't abdulla still don't know what's waiting for them?

can i get a whole only me. ready ready and i the restriction monetary part is furious ready for freedom around the world. although medics do all the width of the virus need to be a say. you have to balance personal choice with what's good for the most people at the end of the day. like it's a balance of rating. you can't wrap people up in caution will for us said it was investigate new york state handling of cobra didn't care home with respond accusations of deliberately under counting death. we hear from grieving

families.
