the 15000, heartbreaking guests from colbert 19. that's what has been recorded in new york, nursing homes and adult care facilities. yet the department of justice has decided to drop the probe into whether or not those dooms and their families civil rights were violated by governor cuomo. order were in discuss the fairness and the garrity of this decision. meanwhile, just announce at the white house, the u. s. military combat mission to a rock is over, but it's air strikes are continuing in afghanistan and another area of conflict with the u. s. was supposed to have been withdrawn from. will iraq still c a u. s. president as well? we're going to give you the background of the u. s. involvement in iraq, as well as expert analysis of what to expect pass the prescott and finally, shocking video. violent crimes are now becoming less shocking. not because of the nature of the crime committed, but because it how often we are now seeing images like this in the streets of
2:31 am
america. many of those same streets which over the last year were filled with chance to defend the police. but it made me time to start talking about refunding the police to give you the $360.00 view on the issue. i'm sure you know you, then you are watching news views right here on our t america. let's get started. ah . the united states has agreed to a formerly ended combat mission in iraq, by the end of the year, though, a so american forces will remain in the country as part of continue training and advising role r. he's a john had he takes a look at the brief history of a u. s. military involvement and iraq since 2003 with us forces leaving afghan to stand. the sites are also now set on americas draw down once again in iraq. it has been a violent 18 years. the u. s. invaded the country in march 2003,
2:32 am
with more than 4500 us troops killed and hundreds of thousands of civilian debts. 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 all kyra in august 2010, then president obama declared an end for the 7 year combat mission in iraq. and after the 1st major draw down, just over 47000 troops remained by 2011. the number would drop to just a few 100 by 2014. when the us joined, rocky and curtis forces in the fight against sizes. 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,
2:33 am
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 as is as right. but we are not going to be but in here in a competition. 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 carrier bombings,
2:34 am
and attacks on both security forces and civilians. and both the us and israel continue to view the 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 news use, use john hardy to help us for today's announcement, we are joined by forward putting on official micro my. michael, thanks for joining me on this. i know you watch suppress 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,
2:35 am
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 poplar 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 a 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 is it comes with the combination of the 2. they can't, they can't, there are certain types of equipment, for example, that he had the equipment. that was the way that, i mean technology that probably you can find the wires,
2:36 am
us us support and expertise. yeah. 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, 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 to not all, but many of them are backed by iran. and they,
2:37 am
they are committed to fighting isis and they, they have the experience, they've got the, and fact that 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 a 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 walk in 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 then 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 in one of the pop popular mobiles. i want to
2:38 am
bring in iran, where does iran playing all of this? how are they taking the news save this time? i that americans are getting other well, they probably want to 6 years ago, but that's beside me. 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've 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,
2:39 am
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, so this is not do 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, the 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 police departments across the country are finding themselves short staffed by dealing with a serious spike. and by the crime, right, we've got a full report ahead. plus our panelists, we'll give you the 360 view we'll be right back. the
2:40 am
the ah, ah ah, ah, for all of you out there that regret not being around the soviet union at the time with their collapse. a lot of people on us told you about that. lot of interesting things. math time, was there writing in the journal. anyway, they get to have that experience today right here in the good old us.
2:41 am
oh right now. there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. it's profitable to sell food that he's 20 and sugary and the victims. he's 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 establishment, ah, what's driving the m, it's corporate, me. ah, advocated a police fatality, a sweat headlines last year. there has been a major effort to define the police in a some us cities. but is that decision contributing to violence crime rates artic restaurant natasha suite takes a look at the violent crime skyrockets. there is
2:42 am
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 the 7th year in a row, baltimore is on pace to have $300.00 homicides and $1000.00 shootings. by the end of the year, maryland governor larry hogan said, we can't defend the police, which is the mayor's plan. we have to invest more in our police 190 murder. now
2:43 am
since last year the, this should be shocking to the conscience of every person. and else here 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 criminal 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 in dc left a 6 year old girl dead and in new york, a reward is being offered to find the suspect. in this robbery, a man and a great hoodie, a scene punching a victim thrown from his bike, the suspect knocks out the victim by kicking him in the head. he then takes items from his pockets before flane, 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
2:44 am
police. this all comes as violent crime is clearly surging throughout the country. records indicate source sent $1000000.00 to his color of change pack on may 14th. the group has called police seen a violent institution that must end. now in 2018 thorough spent millions to help let the current los angeles county district attorney, but murders are a 20 percent along with other violent crime. it's similar to philadelphia were store spent and other 2000000 helping elected their district attorney homicide. there have risen 35 percent this year. we're putting for hughes and hostile suite r t. to give us the $360.00 view on this issue, we bring in civil rights attorney robert patello and president phil schafer, eagles. ed martin. thank you, john for joining me. things 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,
2:45 am
in the streets with their full, full gear on robert were 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 as that in cities across the country where there have been attempts to hopefully the officers accountable for the bad apples and the bonds. we've seen police unions decided to do, ma'am. we've heard a baltimore city police officers down there been manse 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 calls. so police are resisting mean form of police accountability or attempts to hold the whole bad cuts accountable, which is an offer list to the uptake. we also cannot look at the fact that we compare to 2020, 2020 everybody in the house. if you compare the number year over year with 20192015, baltimore which was violated,
2:46 am
292820172015. the chicago. another time to rethink the way we do policing the country and stop blaming people who simply what better bullying thing for the topic ticking crime. okay. and is that how you see it? and i've got 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, 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, quote, the count of the character or the, the type of law enforcement, african american white, 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. accept i happen to think that he's not,
2:47 am
we shouldn't be an american citizen. we could do another show on that. but you know what? 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, i know, tested 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 mention 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?
2:48 am
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 those the unions and start again. but don't the 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 this. now. he was not referring to mass car incarceration more holding the people in those communities who are making them unsafe. so i want you obviously give 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 talked to my who committed a crime. and he said, well, i reviewed the municipal code to find out what the punishment was for this crime. prior to going to knocking this old lady inside the head or holding for one open
2:49 am
gunpoint, we have to look at the societal factors a lead point toward crime. we have to look at an over criminalization of the war. war on drug was drugs, one rug, one, the war on drugs and it was kind of, we recognize that change or policy can come to say we have to look at the economic and need 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 that the communities have the most heavy police present to have the highest crime. also. i think that when you look at suburban community to have less crime, look at what they're doing, they have better school, better rows, better social services, better access to health care, better housing for those individual. 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 980000 reagan. it didn't work. we talk a lot about dividing crime build, that was a response. the lawlessness, quote unquote of the $980.00. it didn't work is time to reform the way we do things
2:50 am
well. and i get in here for the last word, you know, the mayor to 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 elected office. you know, 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 crimes 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. 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,
2:51 am
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 hell 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's 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,
2:52 am
and thank you so much for joining us on this one. the justice department has issued a letter saying 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 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 our legal analyst in new york, president himself line a while i heard the story over the weekend, i wanted to get on there. i wanted you to be on air. i know this makes you live it . 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
2:53 am
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 reading in new york times in july, 172000 right here. more than 817-2000 resident and a boy of nursing homes have died from complications. there's a 1000000 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 have died in
2:54 am
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 are 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 managed water, 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 it was? who the buyer is at china? is it the u. s? 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 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. and governor cuomo responded to this news. oh he, he's, he's medical,
2:55 am
he's the man is completely devoid of any kind of vengeance and heart empathy. but i got to tell you of the right now, i can look out my window and the comfort. remember the comfort that failed up the hudson and people clapping people were running across the west side highway. almost guinea 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, why 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
2:56 am
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 contra by. you can do anything you want and even go down the list. this is just on consciousness, 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
2:57 am
there are so many layers of excuses and defences that he would be able to avail himself of it be virtually impossible criminal. and that's why have you on here line. thanks for your answers. that's all we have for today show. thanks for watching. ah, ah, ah. driven adrian shaped by those in the, in the day or thing. we dare to ask me
2:58 am
o is your media a reflection of reality? the world transformed what will make you feel safe? tycer lation, whole 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 this end. ah. so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. i have been for my phone hostage
2:59 am
3:00 am
i the news from prove a new law restricting trouble and entreat the public places for people without so cobit passport. the move is proving hugely divisive among businesses and the public also ahead in london, a christian creature who reportedly converted from his love, a stub hyde park, famous speaker's corner. but while louis media coverage focuses on the fact she was wearing a shirley a t shirt, we take a more in depth look of the incident on 6 months since joe biden took over the reins at the white new nationwide.
