3:02 am
prisoners, or correspondence. husky taylor has been investigating a rising number of such cases, which has been done by women's rights activists. as a horror show me and fans over white house sex change prisoners are particularly high in california with our being numerous complaints from inmates there being a number of recent cases that might explain that worries me ah ah, they're getting a full erection who locked him this room 247 with the man. and there is nothing you
3:03 am
can do about it. the nobody cares about us. we ain't danger here. there were never love mails with full mail and that to me, sharon showers with us in a group shower room. yet no man can share our showers, me his approval, sexual, tried to haven't committed multiple crimes against women. yet the state of washington had no problem moving him into women's facility. ah, we asked us prison authorities to comment on the allegations on what exactly the policies are when it comes to transgender inmates. when of course, let you know when they get back to us earlier, i had the chance to speak to penny nuns, who is the ceo and president of the concerned women for america activist group. now
3:04 am
she's worried to some male inmates might change the gender identity, sympathy, so as to take advantage of incarcerated women. the issue before us right now is whether or not women who are incarcerated women who have no choice for being in prison and how long they're there. have no rights are being protected against biological men. we can say the biological disparities, the size, the strength of men versus women. this is changing in our country and which now men who simply identifies women. they don't have to take any surgical measures in the state of california and other states when someone simply identifies as a woman, that predators are willing to say anything to get access to women and to hurt them further. i recently read a statistic that said in the united states, about 84 percent of women who incarcerated,
3:05 am
say that at some point in their life they've already been sexually assaulted. these are women who are already very troubles. there's no excuse in which a person who is a biological male or biologically female should be victimized in presence. if the prison system would take the issue of safety more seriously than that, then that concern would be met. i again, there's no excuse for allowing someone to be victimized in prison. there must be common sense met and used in dealing with people who are. they're locked away. they cannot leave and we must take measures to keep them say cases of the legit abuse of women by tons to the people in jail have left some incense in light of a controversial bill passed in california at the start of the year. the law that's trans inmate's request to transfer to facilities, but align with that gender identity effectively allowing male prisoners to move to
3:06 am
female jails since the law passed around 300 such requests have already been submitted. and as of june this year, non have been rejected by your forty's, california is the latest us state of adopted such legislation. similar and my housing policies also exist in connecticut, new york city, massachusetts, and new jersey and women's rights groups are alarmed that all the parts of the country might follow suit. the definition of trans janda is dangerously inclusive and california department of corrections and rehabilitation. these are basically heterosexual men, ruining this paternity for the trans community to be safe. and now they have a bigger pool of potential victims. males cannot self declaring themselves out of maleness, the yes shouldn't fall, kelly for you here into this horror. in the meantime though, i want to bring in now legal unless jennifer mall found women's right advocate and political unless rece,
3:07 am
addison always good topic few on the program. i'm trying to follow up with you. how do you view california? so $13.00 to many claim that it sets a heretic precedent for the country. do you agree? i agree in the sense that the person in the law is so actually broad and generic. you're not looking for any sort of justification or behind this. you can really put other people in danger, while also insulting people who truly do struggle with it by using something that they really do have something that they truly do identify and have identified with the young age in order to fulfill something that's going to bring harm to others, we're putting these women at risk and it's unsafe if you're responsible in california, certainly old, the women in that state better and they are failing miserably right now. do you think that there is a concern that heretic stories like the ones that are merging, that they can do pretty irreparable damage to an entire transgender community? doing irreparable damage, not only to the transgender community,
3:08 am
to people who have have been going through their transgender, their, their changes, your de la jeremiah them. you're actually going to start to demonize them by using them, and they are using them as a good commit. violence against women are not only harming the real transgender community. people are kicking, you're the, you're harming women, you're harming everybody else. provide long time women, all this he felt on hud, they felt forgotten about. they felt use they felt vulnerable, then they became empowered. and now suddenly it feels like a trend is going in the opposite direction. is that how it looks to you? there has been a drive to be the most possible inclusive in california, specifically. and here's where we're running into issues. we're not protecting women, we're not protecting those who were born women. and we have to understand that there is a distinction between those who identify as women and those who are genetically women. and that,
3:09 am
that the harm can exist between those who are just attempting to present themselves as women, so that they can escape being housed with other men and been being a rooster in the henhouse. and basically whether they want to escape other harm from other men or just come into the female presence and be a predator. we open the door to that, and that's problematic. and, and because we're so, you know, in the effort of being so inclusive, we're not realizing the harm on the back in that is being, cause this is katie, such a complicated issue. so what's the solution here? is that single flex prisons because you know, when you read a lot, a lot of trans inmate say i don't feel safe anyway. so how do we make sure that everyone does feel safe? yes, we have male prisons, we have female presence. that's how it's been because we know that that, that works better. but maybe having other facilities or individuals that identify it's trans, making sure there is better security for some of these people. i don't know, maybe even looking into their medical records,
3:10 am
not just taking somebody from california. i'm going to said basically you can get a piece of paper and check a box and then be have the bunch of women that you can victim i. that's not ok. but there are ways that you can look into somebody's medical history and psychological record. that's what they're supposed to do to verify what they think about their, their identity or their gender. that's what we need to do. i mean, what do we met with everything else? just to look into what somebody says, not just taking them at their word and make sure that there is some kind of verification for the alternative. keeping close tabs on robinson this fair. and you can be sure that will be returning to this topic in future broadcasts. ah, wildfires are continuing to ramp edge the far east of russia leaving a trail of ash and devastation in their week. more than one and a half 1000000 hectares had been consumed by the flames over the past 3 months. and
3:11 am
the fires of left nearby cities, blanketed in choking smoke, or correspondent dmitri polk reports from the very front line where some 3000 people are battling nature's fury. just arrived at the camp site where we're supposed to be saying what apparently we might actually have to evacuate right now because the fire is already near the camp. the firefighters are trying to balance right now, but as you can see behind me, it's spreading really fast. like that tree just caught on fire in less than a minute. with the fire spreading really quickly. there's wind and still really dry. there's still the been no rain and the the reason for a while for over a month. me the
3:12 am
last thing if we're really nice people here now the fires cover a very large area. it's hard to keep track. it's almost impossible. i don't know how we can manage that fact for water with a hand pump like this. but this just by being very primitive is one of the most effective things they have. right now we're going through a fire that we are still battling. it's taking a while. it's been present hours since we got here. we're still battling the fire me so basically we go round around, around the fire. we see some flame hit them. so ahead and with some water. but some of these are actually routes on fire. and in order to
3:13 am
fully extinguish them, you would need to go up because they're not burning on the surface. they're burning under ground. me just finish battling one fire. and then literally like 2 minutes later there was another one just 20 meters to the left. and there is just not enough people right now in this camp to be dealing with all this effectively. thankfully this is a bottom fire. so they call it is basically when the ground is burning, as opposed to a top fire, where the top of the trees is burning, which is the most dangerous thing there is. because if we pick that up, it's pretty much unsolvable difficulties. these guys are having is basically, there is not enough people and the equipment they have, or, i mean there's not that many ways to fight fire. basically what the use of the
3:14 am
backpacks with 20 leaders in it. and they use that texting and a pump attach that backpack, and they use it to spray water on the fire. the other one is these shuttle where they, they got a trench, so the ground fire will subs. basically they get rid of all them on the grass, the branches, the leaves, everything that could be set on fire instantly. that's pretty much how these people have been battling all these fires for the past 4 months. me, the vastness of that region really as staggering as well. as we know, wildfires are playing a whole host of countries at the moment. one of the worst hit being greece, locals have joined the efforts of fire fighters in attempting to beat back the inferno. thousands of people including tourists, something evacuated from affected areas, homes and power lines have been destroyed with more than $56000.00 heck doors said
3:15 am
to have gone off in flames. in the past 10 days, smoke has also swept across nearby cities, including the capital, athens firefighters from the u. k. france. romania and switzerland have been sent to health talk of the disaster. okay, another of our headlines stories today. anti corona virus measures are again being tightened in france with a set of new rules coming into force this monday to where terraces and restaurants, hotels, long distance transport and even medical facilities will not require a code that help pass for access. the plans have already sparked a wave of nationwide on several weeks ago, which has been simmering ever since. ah, the
3:16 am
day's growing anger here in france. estimate a quarter 1000000 people have taken to the streets to protest against the coven health certificate. the protest is really had to complain. the 1st is that these health pastors restrict their freedom, and secondly that the government, if forcing them to be vaccinated. well, from monday, people here in front need a health path. if they want to eat a restaurant or drink in a cafe and that's regardless of whether it's indoors or outdoors. health pos is also needed for intensity travel. so that will include, for example, domestic flights. and at the same time, high speed trains. it does not include using the metro or suburban transport
3:17 am
already. now for some time, you have needed the health path to access a cultural venue. so for example, if you want to go to the theater or museum or to the cinema, what exactly constitutes a health path? well, it is either a jap certificate, a negative test that is valid for 48 hours, or a covert recovery certificate that is valid for 6 months. the constitutional court found that the french president emanuel from the crumbs restrictions were proved last month by the parliament and by the government represent what caused a balanced trade off between public health concerns and personal feet and taking listen to con. i think it is a question of citizenship because our freedom is indeed to be able to live next size, our choices, but it's worthless if in exercising our freedom we infect our brother, our neighbor, or friend, our parents. also when we meet with an event that's no longer about being free,
3:18 am
it's about being responsible. as many as 20000 new concerned cove cases are being recorded each day, which is a steep climb from where the figures were just a month ago. we'll continue to monitor how fond implement these new restrictions and whether in fact it decides to introduce any further ones. the olympic flame has been dosed in tokyo and passed on to paris. at the end of the pandemic, defying games for the past 3 weeks, the world's best been bustling. it ought to prove their sporting prowess, but some incidents are taking the shine off those efforts for gold. daniel hawkins takes us through the tokyo olympics. we're always going to be different amid protests scandals in a raging pandemic that will leave or will take place until the very last minute kept everyone on their toes. new sports kept phones across the world, the riveted even a stance remained empty. but a lot of sides,
3:19 am
it wasn't the new disciplines, standing victories and world recall is that made headlines. politics and sport shouldn't mix goes the all the dash that was forgotten before the limbic flame even got to tokyo, deprived of flag and anthem, russian athletes will probably the most tested competitive, but became fair game for jobs bashing when stand offish. questions about doping, other russian olympic team athletes carrying the stigma, cheated in these games after the scandal. and how do you feel about it? first time in my life, i'm not going to answer a question. you should be embarrassed if itself, i think you should wire him from the olympics. i don't want to see him again for some indicating a boot to even be seed in a po, so together with the russian athlete with ukraine's get us love him. who would you set for an official dressing down for her appearance? athletes were present in ukraine. international competitions must understand that
3:20 am
the russian ukrainian war is ongoing in ukraine. this imposes sudden restrictions and responsibilities immediately after her return. have an appointment scheduled with her, being a good sport. swiftly went out of fashion in favor of being a sore loser. who's the i received some type of plan, completely backfired. it certainly didn't keep the russians out. and it certainly didn't shame russia were putting, has used the band to pump up nationalistic pride. yes, you could say russian athletes had their own bones to pick with elliptic judges. but at least in swimming or rowing, when is undisputed when. but when goals goes to your rival, who made an evident glaring error? well, questions are going to be honest. with you, you share a blatant mistake and deliberate and justice that had been premeditated syria. sarah committed binders rarely assa didn't know way prevent her from winning go
3:21 am
against politics. but this was just hopeful and it's hard to explain it in any other way. perhaps these can be explained by the fact that russia has been winning for 20 years, and that it was important for someone to remove russia from the witness list. it was done in the most disgusting way. rob can. yes, of course it hurts. i'm glad they came 2nd, but it heard that it was unfair. it's not my 1st year in sports, and that's why you wouldn't get 1st please. i hoped and they believed until the very last, but the miracle didn't happen. it's not just the russian athletes who made headlines, but a russian sprinter, christina, to manascale, didn't when metal is in the women's 100 meters. but one global media attention amid to stand off with coaches from a countries olympic committee who powerfully tried to force her to return home. the coach shoes were swiftly removed from the village when all sca offered a saw him in poland. and while admiration and praise are usually reserved for the winter as those who fight on against all odds. u. s. gymnastic starts among biles
3:22 am
received accolades for the opposite. like tennis champion, know me or soccer did this summer boils again made clear. sometimes it's okay. lot to be ok. yeah, i say put mental health 1st because if you don't then you're not going to enjoy your sport and you're not going to succeed as much as you want to. so it's okay sometimes to even set out the big competition to focus on yourself whenever miles pulls on her leotard. it's as though she's tighten in a cape around her neck. she's the hero tasked with save in a solid sport embodying some tried believe in american dominance, and also carry an agenda in an entire race. that's a heavy cape and it chokes. but it's one that exceptional black women and women of color are tall to wear because simply being great isn't good enough. aside for mental health also, and the agenda was athletes, clothes, while german gym that went out to where utah is in
3:23 am
a statement against sexualization and received widespread support. swimming caps for not through black, her with band was unsuitable. and the appearance of laurel hubbards, the 1st openly transgender woman at the lympics caused debate, again locked because of performance. she came lost in her group, but simply because of her presence olympic history has had its conic bold political statements from berlin. $936.00 to mexico city, 968th. and monterey owl. 1976, just to name a few. bad to those poco 2020 was pretty tame. what still? wouldn't it be nice if just for once the games embodied that true values? sports that co missed allen were a believes, the real meaning of the olympics as all but disappeared from the event. today. these games will go down in history. lympics killed off sport to quite
3:24 am
a large degree from involving politics from people basically being allowed to do whatever they wanted in abilities olympics were any testing of any sort. it just as complete mass local in peace is a nice way to pull this. i would also say that is the 1st phase calling because we have so much bad feelings about the boys news olympics, whether it's bud charging weight or is people breaking records on a year or 2 years ago. they were 10 seconds away from so i think that yeah, what will it be? so a mess to the see really dropped the ball the us recently hit its self imposed debt ceiling. but that's not stopping democrats from pushing ahead with an infrastructure package costing a trillion dollars. the senate hills even silenced the bates on the legislation. on
3:25 am
top of that, the democrats are feeling bullish enough to ask for more. another spending package to link 3 and a half trillion. it will all ultimately require helping to increase the debt ceiling. but the republicans, they are having none of it unless they get more of a say on how the money is spent. if they don't need on our input, we had our help with a debt limit increase that recklessly because he's reckless plan will require the dent ceiling limits, the amount the u. s. government can know it was reinstated last week after a 2 year suspension. the figure was also medically recalibrated to equal the current debt level, forcing the treasury to call fault for government bills. financial grew much kaiser, who's been watching events on food safety. u. s. has no choice. it just has to keep on borrowing b, u. s. economy in conjunction with most of the west is one enormous ponzi scheme,
3:26 am
need fresh money to keep that ponzi scheme going, if you take the contact from, you understand that 0 percent interest rate and global that the gdp is over 300 percent. and the ability to pay back any of these loans is berkeley. you can understand why now the debt in the u. s. is going to start to become hyperbolic. and this is having an interesting corollary. and that is causing a real inflation because all that money printing attempting to tamp down the debt, which is causing people at the shops of the gas station. and notice that the price of living is going up per separate this way. and this is causing a real, causing a real damage in america right now. i think they're going to get to the point where they've got to eliminate the idea of a stealing. and they're just simply going to say that we're going to engage and unlimited on encumbered money, print thing, and debt creation. you can stop upon the game. there's only one way to this ends,
3:27 am
and that is through a massive default. and because the us doesn't want to experience that there are simply going to print to infinity. so you ask us to our becomes like that as well and all of our or other hyper inflationary currencies. and that's what we're looking at right now in the u. s. and other countries, we just have to look at the usage of the dollar global. and you notice that in the last 20 years has come down every year. every 2 years has come down. russia has completely out of the us dollar and assess them up to be in an interesting situation. as you see more of cooperation with china, russia, iraq, they don't want to be involved in the dollar because the us weaponized the dollar by sanctioning by interfering and swift, the global money transfer mechanism. and by playing politics and by getting in the way. so these countries have said, you know what, we need our own system. so they're creating or on system. just a reminder, our twitter team is currently collecting and serving up the news and views to keep
3:28 am
you in the know this monday. give us a follow. if you're not doing so already well, work some of your schooling time. goodbye for me. the driven by shaped by 10 percent of those in me dares thing. we dare to ask one of the worst ever mass shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the

ah ah, ah hello and welcome to cross. we're all things considered. i'm here about liberals today show their face. the mask is off and what do we see? the new mccarthyism. they are proud of their liberalism and tucker carlson, and his journey in coverage of hungry. what about the liberal establishment will probably never recover the to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess.
