being with shocking footage out of the u. k, where mobs of protestors were met with police barricades and tons as they attempted to storm the bbc's, a former studio in london. now the demonstrators approached the major media outlets doorstep all over their critiques of vaccine passports and vaccine requirements for children or she correspond to show dia edwards dusty was there on the ground. well, practicing protesters on a mission today they're taking the streets of london going from one media outlet to another. tried to be met with stephen today's protest really started in if i pod, but hadn't got this mission in their mind at that point. but they decided at that
10:31 pm
point to take to the babysitter to try to try why the baby and what they're all doing is they've 19, they really oppose all the babies. the and all the mainstream media outlets are proposing as well. they are really good. many people that they would say to me, really a huge role in the counseling office. now i was upgraded to wake of freedom day. many people all rushed in, but really 5. 7 today is point in time they all had i've been that media out. i said really are trying to come out today. they all of you that the,
10:32 pm
the road out program is not going to pay for that infringement of a freedom. of course civil liberties as well. so today is just about what's going on in the future reporting from the hughes. i'm sure something now back here in america, a nother tv network is under fire for how they have covered the multiple sexual harassment scandals and devolving governor cuomo. now as we all know, new york governor cuomo, brother chris cuomo, is a well known primetime anchor at cnn. and over the weekend, chris, his colleague brian shelter defended how the network has handle the situation between the brothers. this is been a conundrum. first. again, that has no perfect answer, no perfect solution, some think, see, and i made it worse by letting chris interview his brother, when colbert 19 was ravaged in new york. but that was an unprecedented time period
10:33 pm
. and so is this one famous family in the news. a governor who soared to the highest types last year now fall into the lowest, most self inflicted wounds. and a brother who just wants to do his job. just one think or a show. but can he? that's the key question. or the conundrum as bryan pointed. but how should networks cover situations when family members are the ones that are the star of the story? let's ask indicated congress and podcast host, reuben, of our reuben. thank you so much for joining me on this. got a great to be back with you. thanks. ok, so i just had to start off by just going away from grad what do you think this would be as big of an issue for chris cuomo if he had never crossed that line and brought his brother on the show, even though he's governor of new york, especially during the pandemic, highlighting him as many times as he did. i think that's one of the lines
10:34 pm
he crossed. certainly the fluff soft treatment during the pandemic extolling him really as a hero and a model of good behavior and good leadership. the other line though, that's just as important that chris cuomo crossed we now know, and he's mentioned in the a g. 's report was in advising the inner circle of his brother as to how to handle the story and handle the media. really, he gave his expert opinion about how to massage the media coverage and that's why he shouldn't across. well, and that's, i'm talking about, you know, obviously you have, there's ethical, there's unethical standards as a journalist. but this is also your also, the brother chris clone is very well known. he's obviously an expert in the journalism filled today, according to his standards. you know, how do you get around that? he was in an awkward position on that. if this was, i don't know if there's any laws that were broken, but do you think by chance, the ethical violation alone should be the reason why cnn possibly should put him on probation? he's, he's broken the ethical code for sure, but his boss,
10:35 pm
ultimately jeff zocker, who is the president of cnn. he's not much of a journalist either. and so you have a non journalist supervising a nother non journalist as to journalism. so chris cuomo can really go as far as, as bosses all let him go. by this point, he's operating not as a journalist, but rather as a glorified flack for his brother. it's ok if a brother gives advice to a brother. when chris cuomo gave advice to andrew almost handlers to john and sallied all the folks around his brother, that was when he cross the line, he should no longer be on the air. he stop being a journalist, he's become an advocate. now, that's an interesting way. there is a difference between brothers just speaking of the family dinner table versus actually coming in and going to a strategy session that we now know actually happened between the 2. now we're going to continue to hear more accusations of harassment against governor cuomo. do you think it's as early this pushback is getting, considering and when you look at the coverage can and has done the store, they are doing, they are covering the different allegations and they are actually not bring the
10:36 pm
women in any way that would make them look discredited, so do you think that they are handling this in the right way, making basically the best situation they can out of what they've been dealt. they're doing the best they can, scotty, after all this is a liberal media, cnn. they talk to a good game about protecting women during the, the cabin, all hearings saying all women should be believed. and ultimately now we are having to sort of finesse that a little bit. do they really believe all women should be? be relieved when the believe when the person who's being accused of the democrat in summer or someone is part of the family. it's a tough place for seen and to be they much prefer the stories. when the bad guy, the person having the finger pointed him, is a republican white male, not a democrat. well, and like i said, it would be really easy for me to pile onto both brian and inform on cnn. i'm just not want to do. i have to look at this also being a member of a family and, and going, how should media outlets handle these types of situations? we talk about people when you have these kind of relationships within the news room within politics in this case. but how should
10:37 pm
a newsroom handle when you do have those tides as we so often find amongst a journalist versus a public official office, whether be by blood or by marriage while saying that's right. the right thing. now telling chris cuomo you cannot talk about the story you after accuse yourself, you have to pull yourself back away from this story. the rest of networking cover the right, but you can't. the problem though is they still employ somebody who stopped acting as a journalist and began acting as an advocate and see it as a problem on tans with regard to the long term employment of chris cuomo. well, you know, i find a very interest throughout the survey, the timing of all this. i always ask that question because these accusations from the women are nothing new. be heard about them even to a year ago. they were starting to become public. they were rumored in new york around the past few years. anyways. it's the timing of this. why do you think this is actually starting to come out? now you're seeing the female attorney general there in new york going after me. obviously looking at criminal charges, possibly. why now would you speculate this is actually creating such
10:38 pm
a star i think because he's getting ready to run for what would be a 4th term as governor, because democrats themselves are trying to topple him. he's got a problem on his hand because his own party is going after him in new york, it's democrat versus democrat. there are no republicans to be found in a story. it's ultimately think that's part of it. also, he doesn't have a lot of friends. he's been rumored to be a bully, it says reputation, it's a way to get things done. so he doesn't really have a strong base of support among the democratic party. so he's out there by himself. andrew cuomo is doug himself is in a whole, and i think unfortunately, he's brought his brother in with him. but i find to be very interesting about this is the fact that not only is he self in a whole, but he's actually standing very strongly in it. or other high powered officials all the way up even here to dc, nancy pelosi calling for him to resign. and he still sticking to it. there is not even a hint of resignation coming out of his mouth. i find that to be very telling reuben always a great time to talk to you. it was another
10:39 pm
a bloody weekend mystery of chicago as at least $47.00 people were shot, including the 1st police officer to be shot and killed since may or lori lightfoot took office. well, this latest as cause a mayor to take action to stop the violence more to the story after the birth, the liberal today show their face the mouth. what can you see the new car b as they are proud, is there a poker, carlson and his journey in coverage of hungry goat about the liberal, establish probably never driven by a dreamer shaped by those in
10:40 pm
ah, the dares thing. we dare to ask oh yeah, you know where you go to a 6 day marathon of creativity, a multi cultural festival, and the biggest variety is the competition for a few days. became a russian cultural capital. 28 categories. ahh from violence, piano to be honest with parenting and data protection, not yours just throwing up with water. you're
10:41 pm
10:42 pm
me make no, you know, board is blind to nationalities as emerge. we don't have authority, we go to the back seat, the whole world needs to take action and be ready. not a joke, people judge crisis, we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is paid for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we need together in the gun violence has gone up in almost every
10:43 pm
major city, but one. see that it makes the headlines every weekend chicago. now over the weekend, at least 66 people were shot. 8 of those people killed, including a chicago police officer shot in the line of duty during saturday night traffic stop. our chief faren prime deck brings us the details of that officer involved shooting, as well as the response for both mayor laurie lightfoot and the chicago p d. last night and approximately 9 p. m. it's 63rd and fail officers assigned to the community safety team conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle with 3 occupants. and what those 3 officers were met with. they had no idea and offers were brought upon and they returned fire. one of our office was struck by one of the offenders bulletin sustained a fatal gunshot wound and she is deceased. that officer 29 year old ela french
10:44 pm
joined the force in 2018 and was a member of the cities community safety team. she lives behind an infant daughter or partner a male officer was also struck and he is currently still in critical condition. fighting for his life. saturday night, chicago police officers prayed outside the university of chicago hospital for that officer still in critical condition, as well as for french who was already pronounced dead. the police are not our enemies. their human justice. we are chicago mer, laurie lightfoot, who took office in 2019 met officers at the hospital where there are reports that officers gave lightfoot the cold shoulder as she approached them risking their lives every day for our safety and security.
10:45 pm
that reality became very real last night in an emergency room, monks tiers and fears from the finest and the most courageous people. i know lightfoot has been a controversial figure in the eyes of the chicago police back when she was inaugurated in 2019 as the city's 1st black woman and openly gay female mer. lightfoot vowed throughout her campaign to remove the chicago pd's gang database, implement civilian oversight of policing, and fully removed immigration and customs enforcement or ice agents. in 2020, it was a different story. lightfoot, 2020 budget proposal gave a 7 percent increase to chicago's p. d. budget, but 6 months later, lightfoot responds to the killing of george floyd by a minneapolis police officer, came under fire. along with her response to the coven 19 pandemic. lightfoot was accused of not prioritizing student safety by removing police officers from chicago
10:46 pm
public schools. but after various flip flopping on, the issue, lightfoot finally said she would not defend the police. a call made by black lives matter in the streets of chicago, which erupt it in more. protests calls from the chicago police to lightfoot to bring in the national guard for help. went on answered, i urge you, we must come together. we must unite. we have a common enemy. it's the guns and the gangs. 2021 in chicago has proven to be one of its deadliest years. and the 1st 7 months alone there been almost 2000 shootings and almost 2500 victims up 63 percent from 2 years ago. i'm asking chicago to wrap their arms around are police officers today and encouraged him to continue. there are great work and protecting us
10:47 pm
all over the weekend. $66.00 people were shot were 8 victims, including officer french, died. the incident marks the 11th time. a police officer has been shot in chicago and just 2021 alone. the 1st officer to die in the line of duty since lightfoot took office and the 1st female chicago police officer to die in the line of duty since 1988 for news use hughes. i'm fair in france back turning 60 is a really big deal. and should be celebrated, as well as a landing, a multi $1000000.00 pay day from a $2700.00 page legislative bill. but both come with a cost. now over the weekend, the president obama threw himself a star studded 16th birthday party. now the endless numbers of celebrities and friends joyfully celebrated all weekend long, even ending with a brunch with oprah on sunday. but what was told to the public after 1st disclosure
10:48 pm
last week was going to be a very down scaled event footage from the hawaiian thing. but lou well out of the obama's estate on martha's vineyard. busy revealed away the gray dancing skills, the politician and his friends, but almost that most of them do not practice what they publicly preach. sore critics just party papers or is it rules for thee? but not for d. for to give us a 360 view, we welcome political commentator of iraq, laurie, and former us assistant attorney david cats. going to be with you scott. david, i want to talk with you. you know, i have had friends have not been able to hold funerals, posted a post on their weddings. my child actually back to school today with a mandated mask on his face, despite is 0 cases occurring at school. i want you to know what new york times reporter any carney had to say about the former president and his guest being caught without a mask at the party. other people said, you know,
10:49 pm
this is really being over on their fall and all the safety precautions people are going to sporting events that are bigger than this. this is going to be safe. this is a sophisticated vaccinated crowd, and this is just about optic. not about safety instigated vaccinated crowd. i've tell you those kind of not my favorite comment of the weekend. so i got to ask you on this, david, do you think this is important case for the president to hold this weekend considering the environment and the situation that we are in? well, scotty, i think it was in poor taste and i think it was in poor political taste and optics . this is actually live to be 60 the party that marie antoinette dreamed holding. right. this was let them eat cake is how it came through to a lot of people who as you say, haven't been able to do things socially. and you know, i mean in a bonus defense, you have to say he's not the president anymore. he hasn't been for 5 years bite and
10:50 pm
didn't come to lucy had the good sense not to come. and, you know, it looked like oprah and j. c. now i would say this about trump. these are the people wishes would come tomorrow. lago but won't, and they're the ones that he wishes with join and make memberships and his clubs if they would. so there's a whole lot of hypocrisy to go around, scotty and i agree that you see on both sides of abroad. do you see the bigger picture of this? not just a part about 60 a birthday or do you think this is actually going to damage the effort being made you think in regards to public, accepting the restrictions that we are seeing being put back into place? yes, got the i think it will and it should. it's funny to, to think about the new standard that apparently applies. it's not only that you have to have a mask but also be vaccinated, but also now be sophisticated. that's important. ok so, so i, i mean, it seems to me that everyone is still required to wear mass even if they are vaccinated, but not according to the obama clan. that's because they're sophisticated. that's
10:51 pm
the important thing to, to understand. yes, it says a very bad message throughout our great land, and we need to fix that. we need to understand that vaccination. first of all, there are many questions regarding the vaccination, whether or not it's contagious, still and so on. the mass don't work and so forth. and this only sends the message and titles regular people to simply say will look if it's good enough for obama and his clan, and 600 person party. well then, by golly, i should be able to send my kid to school without a mask. and what that worrying about having to be vaccinated and such. it's very simple. this is going to damage them greatly over the many coming months. well david, you're the one the brought up, so i gotta finish, you know, this part of it. asking you the footage that from that party is being deleted. and i think that the obama team realized damage control is going to have to be done. but do you think this will actually damage the public opinion of president obama? you said at 1st, we joke about jeff on don bud, could this bounce off brock be a fitting new nickname for the former president?
10:52 pm
well, i think the question is going to be whether by and his agenda or popular. obviously, obama was critically important to help buy and get the nomination, scotty, and also to win the election. but you know, what's going to happen in the mid term elections now is going to depend a lot on how buying is perceived as being a centrist and governing the country. and i think that's why the infrastructure bill that they're getting right now, the 900000000000 dollar bill, but 20 republican senators have the good sense to back because it's a compromise. i think that's going to affect the thinking about buying a lot more than people being irked by this party. the party came across as people acting like they were entitled, like they were being privileged with all the talk about white privilege and every other kind of privilege. here was something that hit the average american white or black or anything else. as people who acted elite, they acted entitled, and they acted like, you know, they can have a party while the rest of the country needs to tighten a belt. but they do need to wear mass and they do need to get back to nations.
10:53 pm
they've been proven effective, scotty just today they show your chance of being hospitalized or dying. are point 01 percent. if you've been faxing it, everyone needs to get back to me and it left mitre center. well david, you brought it out. so i'm going to talk about because the partying that was going on in martha's vineyard, while that was happening in d. c. lobbyists were beginning to put their champagne on ice with the possibility of putting $426000000.00 minimum from this infrastructure bill. you just reference, this is said it didn't occur. democrats have also just presented. this is what i find to be interesting. a $3.00 trillion dollar spending plan. on top of the $1.00 trillion dollar infrastructure infrastructure plan, the $1.00 trillion dollar covey bill and the $2.00 trillion $1.20 budget that has a lot of maps to add up. so i'm going to ask you the same question. i'm with the brock that my husband asked me last week multiple times while we were at help. and when i was going, i want to buy something. where is the money going to come from brock?
10:54 pm
it's not coming from us directly, that's for sure. it's going to be coming from printing money and that will lead to massive inflation. and where you're talking about buying things, i think there will be a panic by at this point for big staple items like refrigerators and ovens from dishwasher and so forth. simply because they know that everything is going to be increasing dramatically in price very soon. it's, it's irresponsible. what's been going on, this notion that we just throw literally trillions of dollars of it. what did they really think? do they think? oh gosh, you know, we're, i'm the 1st president to think about spending a lot of money to resolve all the problems. this was, he's not the 1st president. he's not the 1st leader to think about spending money, but somehow he's the genius. that's going to come up with all the great solutions and resolve all the countries problems to, to the extent they have problems, this is going to do it. and that's, that's the shocker of it all. because we only know that it's going to be creating massive problems to say nothing of the unemployment benefits that he's created and
10:55 pm
the other be illegal. immigration problem that we have. these are massive problems that are going to hit us very hard, very well. and david, uniform, president trump came out as a result of the infrastructure bill. and so this is just the remake of the green new deal. and there is $21500000000.00 in it to create this new office of clean energy. so how do you feel about, do you think this is just a rehash of what bernie sanders and some of the other democrats, the more liberal progressive democrats have been pushing, and do you think it will actually be effective? scottie, there are 2 different things, and trump was for infrastructure. he just never put together a coalition. he didn't concentrate and focus on it enough to actually push it through. but trump wanted to do something about infrastructure and what they're doing now with the 20 public in senators is a compromise. the progresses didn't get everything they wanted. in fact, they gave on a lot of issues that are not increasing the amount of iris enforcement. so they can get money from the super rich and from huge corporations. they're not having
10:56 pm
a bank that they were talking about having that was going to help with climate change projects. so the republicans got a lot and that's why republican centers are supporting this. the next problem is the 3 trillion dollar bill that the democrats want to do all by themselves, my reconciliation, and that one for august, right? it could very much add to inflation. we have to be extremely careful about that 2nd bill that's coming through this 1st bill is going to happen. it's going to happen in about a week. the 2nd bill is the one that may really add to inflation. and we have to be careful because, you know, there are a lot of democratic voters who are hurt i inflation, right? there's retired people, people on fixed income, and that's that people buy needs to look out for it, make sure they both democratic a year and a half and not that they're being strangled by inflation. well, i find it funny. i think it's interesting 20 republican going along with it. i don't remember 20 democrats ever going with anything. republicans did gentlemen, thanks for joining or you know, and that's all the time we advertise show, but i promised that conversation we want to continue to follow me on her as
10:57 pm
10:58 pm
isn't about what i was looking for the day join me, but it was easy. i got to get to the can put in the office me going to be as long as you want me to tell you the other hand that what you need is that quote, i think it's part of mental health revolution. we increasingly freeze political claims inside the language of mental health became more common. so if you disagree or something i said on this program, you know, just say i just agree with you. i think you're wrong because of the following problems in your evidence or logic. you say your micro grass mate, you say you triggered me. you said your hard me again some psychological way, just news or psychological terms. and i guess an enormous problems or politics
10:59 pm
because it's almost impossible to have a discourse on that terrain. the self governance is more is further and further away from the day to day reality of people on planet earth, in particular, america, with its claims to have a government bind for the people. but if the fed is now completely controlled by wall street banks and the said it's not completely controlled by the map, which is a super national organization that serve the globalist. the recall then the idea of self sovereignty in america takes another huge quantum leap of some version the news
11:00 pm
the pansy vax activists lay siege to the bbc's offices in london as police are trying to stop the crowds from getting inside. she may have been on her phone and lawyers to reveal that a u. s. intelligence worker implicated in the death of british motorcyclists, terry dunn may have been distracted when her car flowed into him. adding that all the relevant phone data has mysteriously disappeared. their relentless spread of wildfires, flames reek more destruction in eastern russia and cloak cities and dense smoke. oh, dear world news headlines for this hour. i'll be back with more and just about an hour and so stay to.
