ah ah, how was the economy working for you? we were told this is the time of the great reset and build back better. what does this mean to you? how does the green new deal play into it seems the richer only getting richer? but what about the rest of us? ah, ah, as over 1000 central american migrants make their way closer to the u. s. a northern california sheriff's is he will no longer work with ice to transfer immigrants who have committed crimes. will tell you why. plus
2:31 pm
a payout for those impacted by the flint water crisis. by is it enough? and transcript release from disgrace. new or governor andrew cuomo, as office will dive into what some of the women said. all that a more right here on our t america for hello and thank you for joining us this evening. i'm and talk to sweets it in for scott, email hughes. tonight a northern california sheriff is receiving both praise and criticism over his bold statements. he said he will no longer comply with immigration customs enforcement when it comes to transferring immigrants who have committed crimes. he said, quote, the change is being made after we heard from hundreds of residents who shared their perspective on how we will be safer when the entire community understands. the sheriff's office is here to protect the public, not enforce immigration laws. now this comes as at least $1000.00 and central
2:32 pm
american migrants are slowly heading to the us. this week i'm making a stop in the mexican state as well haka. let's turn to our 360 panel to dive into this topic a little deeper. we welcome in ed martin, president and phil is shadley eagles and the publisher of pro american report dot com. and alan or the attorney for at american immigration lawyers association. thanks for joining us gentlemen. good to be with you. so let's start with you. what do you make of these? are the sheriff's comments? and is he contradicting himself when he says he cares about the safety of his community? regardless? if they're an immigrant or a citizen, shouldn't we focus on reprimanding criminals? yeah, 1st of all, i mean, his statement is comical on its face. he's going to enforce the laws just not the immigration laws as if those laws don't matter. on the other hand, let me say that, you know, there's now about a 20 year history of the american government working in
2:33 pm
a way that allows local jurisdictions to make decisions like this back in the bush here. or they invoked 287 g. a provision in the law that allowed a local law enforcement to act as ice agents and detain people. it was very effective. i argue a lot of people should do it and more and more to a local jurisdiction should do it. i think this is a good example of people and elected officials in certain areas are going to make decisions about their community. they should be held accountable at the ballot box . i think it's wrong. i think it's a major mistake. i think he's ignoring that there are lots of crimes that come from people who are here illegally, not every one of them, of course, but i think it's, it's obviously politics where he is to get to be elected. and i look at, in other parts of the country, the sheriffs are gonna be a tougher on the law. they're not going to ignore the law. and in this case, i think it's okay. the bigger problem is we have a range of prosecutors and sheriffs in this country that don't want to enforce other laws of violence and others, and that's a bigger problem than this one at this time. her and alan,
2:34 pm
what do you make of the timing of the sheriff's comments as more care of and are heading toward the us border? right. so those stores are not linked together in any way or fashion, right. what someone does locally integers, dixon for people who have been here in documented for years has nothing to do with arriving immigrants coming to the southern border. as a matter of fact, thousands of iraq every day at airports. and we also have a large survey sorted out those individuals or that the people who are robbing to apply for a file or a visa or committee a crime in or criminal. so people who are coming to the southern port are coming to apply for be those they are not criminals, per se. and you know, as permanent, i'm just saying if they end up do committee to crime when they are in fact in this country, what does that mean? i'm just asking you about the timing. if there was a coincidence, i wasn't making a, i don't think, i think they're totally unrelated stories every fashion. i think it's someone who understands republican party well as a member of local jurisdiction,
2:35 pm
choosing what laws are best for their own. well being, it's something that's very hard to republican party. it may be in the federalism that we sort of existence elected official heard from the people like him and said it's better that people are able to announce somebody problems that may be minor, all of them, mr. leaders that don't need to leave for patient so that people are taking risks. i think we've also seen in the black community where they're small crowds and sometimes you don't want to call the police officer because you don't know exactly what's gonna happen next. know, and according to county officials, the sheriff's office coordinated 15 transfers to ice from the county jail last year . so there are serious offenses happening. but the here has come back saying that i can still obtain a warrant for certain individuals. so do you think this is a solid plan? well, no, it's a terrible plan and it's a terrible plan because it's, it ignores what exactly what you just said when there's someone who is, has been arrested and is in jail, they should be transferred. i should, if you had
2:36 pm
a warrant from the federal law enforcement when there's an actual violation. but what alan said is exactly wrong. we're not talking about a textbook in a law class. we're not talking about something in a library. we have millions of illegals coming into this country, whether you think they're seeking asylum, or v says many, many, many of them become law breakers when they either overstate their asylum claim, or they never get one. and that's the fact we now have a problem. 50 years ago, this would've been the same problem, but today it's a problem. and the idea that we're not having every local jurisdiction come up with an approach that says the cost to be here illegally is higher, meaning the social cost, the legal costs, so that they actually don't come. it's impossible when biden says, come on down, everybody, but it gets even harder when you can commit crimes and know that one of the things that won't happen is you'll have to worry about your status. that's what we're saying. we're saying commit a crime. you may have a problem, but you won't get in trouble for your status at a certain point. we're either
2:37 pm
a nation with a border which citizens or we're not right now. a lot of people are headed toward a place where we're not really a nation. we're just a stopping place, a place to gather anybody calm, anybody else will see, it's not a good, not a good path that we're on right now. allen, how do you see the new measures plane out? really, all of the studies from kato to the american immigration council proved that other get completely wrong on the fax for national. they're less likely to great crimes and some of them actually born here. so therefore, there's no intrinsically between those individuals and crime. in addition to that, this is something that the federal government issues that we should be looking at the federal government to sort of that issue, right? the federal government is charged with immigration and they should have the board are secure and actually finding ministration to turn away more individuals with black, individual and the previous administration. you can title 42 started by the ministration . there are no open borders. in addition to individuals that we're talking about who are documented entry have been and documented for 20 years or tenure or more
2:38 pm
work of time. but this is a new occur in denver for congress to sort of address this issue. so we want to address the issue to sort of give these people away to be involved in our system, and then to actually elise them for things that matter. so that when we do believe them after they've been in for 20 years, we're not talking about trying to support them. so that crimes are under reported community and that would be a different conversation. now quickly, according to a poll released this week, 67 percent of american voters disapprove of biden's plan to pay a $450000.00. settlement to immigrants who they say were separate at the border during trump's era. does this surprise you that, that many people were against it? i know it doesn't surprise me at all. i can't imagine why it's not a 100 percent. i mean what, what is that? what is the thought thinking in our country where someone who comes here and breaks the law gets rewarded for it? i mean it, look, if you're drunk driving and you have your child in the back of the car and you get pulled over and you get taken into jail, they don't put your child with you. they separate you and that person shouldn't be able to claim they get paid for. these people should get 0 dollars and 0 cents. the
2:39 pm
idea that president biden is saying will pay them something for $150000.00 or some other amount. it's just wrong on space. and by the way he was asked by was asked, how much do you plan to pay legal immigrants? and he said, well, nothing. why would we pay or his spokesperson did? and of course, that's the right answer. i mean, people that come to america, we're not paying them to be here. if they come legally, ok, but if they come illegally, we're going to benefit them. and by the way, let's be clear. this is classic government handouts. if the a c, l u, opposite the department of justice, they'll give them lots of money. the lawyers will get paid and who gets policed. we the people get, we were paying for it because of the bottom. and last thing on allen, i was not being genuine support, you know, maybe more people turned away because they might be black people because barton is a racist, is what i think. but the real problem is they've admitted by their numbers. we've never had as many people pouring over the border in our history, so they may be turning more away. but that's because we're the 1st you need to sort
2:40 pm
of look the report consistently. the reports of people who showed up not the people were over the border. so that's the wrong and the wrong for as a juror, as i'm concerned with your evaluation of something that's happening before the court between 2 parties where people are separated because these kids were taken from their parents for more than 2 years. and so at the jury, you should understand that the settlement that was leak is not from the by an administration because by the to do it from the judge. he was appointed and have been appoint for some time in the department. gentlemen were not even here. thank you so much for your time. we really appreciate it. thanks gentlemen. now, immigration issues aren't just happening here at home. the chaos continues at the border between poland and bella. ruth, thousands of migrant curds, african iraqis, and others have a mass at the border of the you, where there are camping out for the 3rd straight night. and while the migrants wait, each side is pointing the finger at the other. we more russia denies accusations by
2:41 pm
the european union that russia is flying migrants into bella. ruth r t constance constance theme cot road cars is there with the latest one of the 3rd thing that you notice when you enter the camp is just the smoke thick smoke from the camp fires. and when you spend just a couple of hours in this fix, smoke, you feel dizzy and your eye sore, but these people have to take it in 247 non stop to stay warm. these migrants need lots of firewood, but even cut the tree to live is a problem. if you don't have the skills or proper tools, having something as simple as an ax almost becomes the matter of survival here. where did you get the x? this the for the soldiers gave you just gave you just gave you for help go for help. and it's an all hands on deck approach. even children are being sent out into
2:42 pm
the forest to collect dry sticks and branches for bonfires. wow, good job. but wandering around in the woods can be dangerous. these girls just come back from the forest with blood all over her face. evidently this girl. sadly, with a branch. now she's bleeding and she needs help. but the problem is that there are no medics around. there are no doctors around and really nobody knows how to deal with this proper medical help is in high demand, as people suffer from the cold and lack of food in the morning we came across the boy who was barely responding and a worried mother had thought her son was not going to make it later the day was stopped by again to check on the family. the boy had improved but still feeling sick. according to his friend who speaks english. yet everybody is determined this day. but you guys, you have no food. it's really cold and you think it's okay,
2:43 pm
it is worth it to hear instead of data, home a source why source? have you ever been to rug? no, no. that's why you do not about them. but it's hard to stay resilient. when you're a stomach cmc, lacking proper food, this man takes vitamin. see? he says it helps him to keep some energy and make up for his poor. died of can food . so we have 3 cans of some or 3 men. and that's one can, is a one can for 3 men. we eat one count for 3 men and a little a little bit red with the free food handed out by the russian volunteers and the red cross is live saving. but despite all the problems these migrants act is if they're here to state,
2:44 pm
some of them have hits shudder out of the wind at night. others is mental parts of the metal fence right in front of the polish armed forces, wire and iron pillars from the border wall are now used to make bigger and more solid shelters. so what started as a camp now might very well develop into a small village. and the population of that village is growing by the day is new, migrants arrived. now there are $3000.00 of them at the border with poland. where did you come from minnesota? they send them for the school camp from comes on. we just don't try to collect a support to our friends. they will stay with us. all of us stay together to learn what will i would do for you just waiting for a hearing stories from their friends and relatives who made it to europe. these people believe that countries like germany and france,
2:45 pm
would love to welcome them and give them money and support. and with this in mind, they're ready to stay and struggle at the polish border. coming up, a payout for those impacted by the flint water crisis, but isn't enough? we'll discuss after the break. they with the the oh oh, when i went to the wrong one, i just don't hold any world yet to shape out disdain.
2:46 pm
because the answer to an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. i'm at kaiser. what 4 of my guys is financial survival. this is a hedge fund. it's a device used by professional galle wags to earn money. that's right. these hedge funds are completely not accountable, and we're just adding more more to them. totally, the stabilize the global economy. you need to protect yourself and get in for watch guys we're we're empowering ourselves to be more efficient or quicker with our transactions. we can make mobile payments from our stands. the truth is that every device is a potential entry point for security attack. if it actually, i think you can,
2:47 pm
but i know with the thing but only eventually there's malware of thousands, maybe sometimes millions each day. they use the cyber, they use the technology. it's an extension of traditional artificial intelligence have not many main threat. this is due to the 3 laws of robotics. one of the things that's happening at the many cyber incomes right now, i'd be where you're really worried about it. most people wouldn't equally b, you calling for a chip in my brain. so there has been a lot of progress from the hacker side using ai and using other advanced technologies. there has been on the defensive slaten. a guy has approved a $626000000.00 deal to settle lawsuit filed by flint residents. they sued the state over contamination of their drinking water by lead and bacteria back in
2:48 pm
20142015 bacteria in the water was blame for an outbreak of legionnaires disease that left 12 dead and at least 82nd ortiz trinity chavez. has more on this story. a federal judge has a proved a partial settlement that will give $626000000.00 to tens of thousands of flint, michigan residents, who for years were impacted by exposure to lead in their drinking water. the settlement approved wednesday by united states district judge judy levy is one of the largest in michigan's history. judge levy wrote an a 178 page opinion that the settlement reached here is a remarkable achievement. for many reasons, not the least of which is that it sets forth a comprehensive compensation program and timeline that is consistent for every qualifying participant, regardless of whether they are members of a class or are non class individuals represented by their own counsel. but michigan's former mayor says a settlement is far from remarkable. was it
2:49 pm
a remarkable achievement for the attorneys that got a lot of money? was a remarkable achievement for them. i mean, there are some people that are going to get like, you know, maybe 1500000, those people that have lost their lives. but there are a lot of other people that lost their lives as well. most of the money, 600000000, is coming from the state of michigan, which was accused of repeatedly overlooking the devastating risks of switching flints, water source in 2014, without treating the water to prevent contamination. at least 12 people died and dozens more were sickened. i know what i said long time ago. this is not gonna happen here is going to happen with lead my life flint managers appointed by then governor rick snyder and regulators in his administration. allow the city to use the flint reverend 20142015 without treating the water to reduce corrosion. as a result, let an old pipes broke off and flowed through the taps people worked for me that
2:50 pm
let us all down. and i'm responsible for that, but i'm also responsible for hopefully asking the tough questions and helping find out where those issues could happen. this is one case i didn't get it jam in terms of finding all those threads and putting him together as fast as the way i would have liked to children who were ages 6 and younger will receive more than half of the settlement while the rest will go to other affected children and adults who can show an injury, businesses and any one who paid water bills. attorneys are seeking as much as $200000000.00 from the settlement, but the judge said that will be decided in the future for news views. hughes, trinity sharp as r t for more on the matter we brain. and sarah pap antonio, associate associate attorney for 11 pap antonio rafferty. thank you so much for joining us, sarah. thank you. so there were $626000000.00 to be spread out among tens of thousands of people who lock, who knows how many years off of their lives from drinking this tainted water. is
2:51 pm
this fair settlement? certainly no amount of money is going to be an option and say to a child who has been basically poisoned by lead for years. no amount of money is going to be able to compensate these people who thought that they were drinking water or actually being my terrible talk then. and from the outside, looking at $600000000.00. looks like an incredible settlement, like an incredible amount of money. but when you divide that number by the amount of people who are affected in michigan, it's going to equate to somewhere between 428-0000 point to $600000000.00, significant amount. when you divide that up, you're not going to see the amount of compensation that a lot of these people deserve. and so that's why this, i don't have some drawbacks, but there's a whole lot of positive aspects to how it was designed that i really do appreciate . i really do appreciate that. 80 percent of the settlement is going directly to those children who were present with the lead. it's going directly to the children are going to suffer comment and learning different abilities for years based on the
2:52 pm
water that they're ingesting. while it might not be enough to make these people or to compensate them fully, it does have a lot of positive aspects to do really appreciate it. now do you think the attorneys are taking advantage of the situation here looking for a large portion of the settlement? so the way this works with plaintiffs attorneys is they all work on what's called a contingency fee. and that's $33.00 and a 3rd percent. and what a contingency means is that the attorney doesn't get paid unless they're able to recover for the plaintiff in the end. and like i said, it's on that 3033 percent contingency. so this is what we call them, that a find a mega settlement where we have a big pot of money that is said to be divided amongst the plaintiffs. and so what we're looking at now is, is right, $33.00 and a 3rd percent by what the judge is able to do with a mega funds like this is they typically reduce the amount of fees between 10 to 30 percent. so i,
2:53 pm
i do anticipate that the judge is going to reduce but naturally the attorney started at the highest level, but it's ultimately going to be the judge's decision in this case, to reduce that amount based on how she sees fit and based on the work, the attorney put into it and based on the points of injuries and so i don't, i don't know that it's gonna stand at that moment. i think and does it surprise you at all that the former mirror is speaking out against this partial settlement? you know, we can't wait for speaking out. of course, she's passionate about the people who are affected here. you have 80000 people who are drinking contaminated water and they're not going to be made whole from them. that's just the basic truth. this is not enough money to make them full, but at the very least, we have to look at the justice that is being served. right. we've got criminal and civil penalty that we're in this case. and so we know the very least that there is some retribution that there is just people accountable in this case. of course we would like to see people compensated following. and i don't know that that that's
2:54 pm
a reality of this scenario. yeah, good point therapy, antonio. thank you so much for your insight. transcript depicting details of new york district governor and women accusing him of sexual harassment. have been released by the state attorney general. you may recall andrew cuomo 1st denied all the allegations against him. let's take a look at what some of the transcript say. one of the women accusing the former governor of misconduct, said a lot of times he tried to be for taishan. a lot of times it came off as creepy that a woman said, but i know his actions were not ambiguous. he places and pressed and then moved his fingers across my breast in a way that clearly meant to show me his power and his ability to control my body and my dignity. many allegations being thrown out there. let's turn to legal analyst lionel. thanks so much for joining us. indeed, thank you. now latino,
2:55 pm
what do you make of these transcripts wasn't even necessary to release them after what we've already heard. i don't understand what the necessity of this was other than the fact that the attorney general of new york leticia james wants to be governor as you so happens that cad, the whole gal who was the current governor, who was a lieutenant who stepped in after andrew cuomo resigned, is apparently doing very well in the polls. so i'm not trying to inject or accuse their of being a political reason for this. but i'm telling you, there is a political reason for it. but mean that natasha. let me ask you this question. imagine you are one of these women and in this kind of opposed me to world where nothing was ever done for the most part, now there's being something done. what if you don't want your name necessarily associated with this? did they clear it with the women who themselves might have been embarrassed by this?
2:56 pm
or might have a claim later on either in civil court or what have you, what is the purpose of this? and also there's over kill when you keep hearing when it looks like it's a pile on like it's unfair. it actually in yours to the benefit of andrew cuomo because people are going to be so saturated with this. and finally, he could, if he ever goes to trial, which i doubt, he could claim, perhaps unsuccessfully. where am i going to get a fair trial? everybody knows about my sexual predilections, and there is another book that's even more shorted, which we are not going to discuss, which makes this look like a junior league meeting in comparison. so he, he is overwhelmed with this tear. and now some of these allegations, like inappropriate touch in, of course are uncalled for, but there are some others that just seem like they hated their boss and his temper
2:57 pm
not necessarily grounds for sexual harassment. to an actual in point under many of the statues. when you hear hostile work environment, you can be sometimes in some views a complete and total jerk mean dismissive, ah, but as long as a subject matter doesn't stray into sexual if there's nothing improper but you're just horrible. that's not covered. and maybe you shouldn't be because that's just poor temperament, but you're gonna have to also look at this and ask this question. normally people don't do anything. many people who have been proponents for the me to move and have said, where has there ever? nobody does the, the, it took years to bring harvey weinstein to trial. now this is an avalanche. what's the difference? why does, why is his behavior? why is this so agree? just compared to others who committed violent felonies and as far as we know,
2:58 pm
i don't believe those were alleged in these transcripts if you will. yeah. so interesting. well, we're out of time, make it sound like fun, all legal analyst. we always appreciate your time and that's all the time we have. thank you so much for watching and we'll see you back here tomorrow. have a great night. ah ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? high solutions for community. are you going the right way or are you being
2:59 pm
led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. or empowering ourselves to be more efficient for quicker with our transactions. but with that comes a trade off. every device is a potential entry point for security attack any machine, depending on it's an extension of traditional time. the defenders have always been one step behind the attackers with. mm hm. there's one called selection, the offering. it's not a matter of, if it happens, it's
3:00 pm
a matter of when ah buquet confirms its deployed troops to poland border with belarus for potential assistance to warsaw to strengthen the frontier. as thousands of migrants remain camped out in dire condition to their hoping to enter the a you. amid the build up of asylum seekers on the delaware, poland border are t speaks for the people smuggler who takes migrants into western europe and gives us an exclusive insight into the shady business. they don't get caught in germany, but they put them down in asylum centers. and after a while they get permits because they flow their id cards so they can't be deported . as german authorities don't know where they come from. and writing code cases in austria sees nationwide restrictions re imposed but only for the unvaccinated and is by far not the only country to target those who are refusing the jap, we discussed the ramifications.
