about his new series. forgotten america. i'm sky now. he is and we're going to give you the $360.00 view of these stories on today's news views. he's right here on our t america. ah . it's mid weekend. thanks for joining us. because we're going to start once again in wisconsin, where it is day 2 of the deliberations in the homicide trial of kyle written house . now the jury of 5 men and 7 women will need to answer the question, did his legal team make the case of self defense? barclays john hattie is live in kenosha, wisconsin. with the latest. john, it has been somewhat a bit of info speed. it looks like there's a lot more people today than there was even yesterday. bring us up to speed as to what exactly is going on there outside the courthouse? well, it's definitely heated up in terms of the overall vibe and the overall atmosphere.

there was actually just about maybe 10 minutes ago an altercation on the steps between essentially opposing, protest her. so we've seen that throughout the day and we've seen people in support here in support of coll rittenhouse. not a, not a large, not a majority, but by far and majority though of people that are opposed to written house that are calling for a guilty verdict. anyway, bottom line is that to 2 of the protesters gone into a fight. it turned into a fist fight, one of the demonstrators or one of the people that was involved in the altercation then ran across the street. i'm going to get out of the way just so you can kind of see the scene a little bit directly in front is media behind that? that's the courthouse. the courthouse steps. anyway. this, the scrum was up there. one of the guys ran ran across the street, and a van pulled up, loaded with police, who then jumped out, tackled the person involved in the altercation and presumably arrested him. got them in a van,

got that vehicle out of here and then pushed the remaining protesters back up before really that situation escalated and became more violent from there because definitely other protesters were starting to get into a pushing match. this is really the most volatile and the most tense that we've seen so far. and now that we've been here yesterday, there was about maybe 23 dozen at the most protesters here. today there's been kind of a smattering throughout the day. but this evening there's certainly a lot more people showing up here. maybe they're getting off work, whatever, and it's definitely becoming more vocal from both sides. so will this, he continued to increase, will the tension increase? possibly, i hate to speculate about that, but it is day 2 of the deliberations a couple points to get into it. i'm to step back into the shot a couple of development. so a little bit earlier today, the jury asked another question to the judge about seeing some of the video evidence the jury wanted to review some of the video evidence evidence, again,

it's unclear which exactly the video evidence black. there was some discussion debate about the procedure involved, how the jury should do that, should they do it in the jury room behind closed doors. so they were basically going through that. and also the defense team filed another motion for a mistrial. contending and it has to do drone video content that they did not receive the same resolution and quality a video that the prosecution received. so they had push. this has happened even during the overall trial that the defense was pushing for him. his trial adding to the overall drama of the situation. and then of course during the testimony, col rittenhouse, his emotional testimony, and then a back and forth between thomas being or the chief prosecutor in the case and the judge. bruce schrader who also today by the way, kind of another, another part of this making headlines, you know, talking about this video. he then went into a long tent tangent about the media coverage, upset about the media coverage. so really just added to the overall atmosphere,

and i hate to say it's become really kind of a circus carnival atmosphere earlier today. people showing up in costumes, people, you know, just odd the coops and the crazy movie lose showing up here. and for the most part, really the crowd, you know, the biggest part of the crowd has been the media. but now as i said, it's starting to get a little more vocal protesters. demonstrators start to get a little larger. as we wait for a verdict when or if that's handed down, you know, again, if i can, if i had a crystal ball, i would look into whether that was going to happen today. but there's, there's been more questions from the jury as we await this. and as we do certainly, you know, the question then becomes what happens here in the city when a verdict is handed down. if that does indeed happen. and as i had said earlier, and as i told you last night, the governor of wisconsin has activated are really on sale by 500 national guard troops to be at the ready to help local law enforcement if things get out of control once again. as we saw back in august of 2020. when that happened,

when kyle rittenhouse been 17 years old, opened fire, killing 2 people, winning and other. and as you mentioned, scotty really the crux of this case, the jury has decided that he act reasonably was itself the fed, or as the prosecution say, was he acting recklessly as a visually, i'd say you have any business being here where the gun at that time adding to the volatility of the situation back in 2001. and so i am here now. definitely getting more vocal. definitely getting more volatile and fewer i find a very curious so that you have it's actually got both side at some point. as for ms trial, a prosecution as now you have the defense. is there looking to be a change? the judge says no, i'm good doctor, have it a miss. i'm going to leave it to you guys. if you call it that way, i think we've had a trial, we deserve a decision. what happens if at the end of august they come back and say, you know, if there's been mr. off is that mean that he just walks very well?

miss miss trial and i'm not, i'm not a lawyer so. so i would really have to speculate about the legalities, but my understanding of it is if it's declared miss trial would prejudice then. yes . possibly, he worked, there will not be another trial. he will be able to walk free but footing. but again, that's all that good. that's among many the many questions in this case and it's been very confusing. it's a very convoluted time. certainly when the judge was giving a jury instruction, you know, he went through all these, give her boy as if it was confusing and adding code for that confusion. right. so work, there's a lot of good points, a lot of good questions here, but when it comes down to it, it really the jury is deliberating that that's not a mental question. did rittenhouse act in self defense wasn't reasonable for him to open fire, killing to one another? dies how like there's a lot of drama, both inside the court room as well as outside as well. although i'm just looking for attention in an answer. and john, we are grateful that you're out there for us. thanks for joining us. several know,

said to loud and county where the school board is agreed to reverse the suspension of a teacher who is vocal against the transgender policy. and the teacher did sue in response and the settlement the board agreed to a permanent injunction against search retaliation against tanner cross, meaning he's back in the classroom. meanwhile, in new hampshire, a student to suit against his school district, saying the suspension that he suffered actually violated his constitutional right to free speech. and the new hampshire bill of rights that says, says he was expressing his religious belief. when he said there are only 2 genders and his punishment from the school suspension was unfair. and these are just a few of the issues which actually motivated parents to pay more attention this fall to the actions of their local school boards. and at times, even those parents became unruly when they felt like their voices were being ignored. but were there actions enough to justify giving the same official label by the u. s. government as a white supremacist in islamic fund?

my analyst, well, house republicans want to know they wouldn't know how that demand was made and how involved the d o. j and the national school board association were involved with each other in the cracking of this letter that was sent to the white house to discuss the very robert patella's civil rights attorney and radio ed martin publisher pro america report dot com. thanks for joining me. robert and ed. good. okay, so i'm gonna start with you on this one, you leisure with this late it the f. b i is denying, they were actually collecting information on the most outspoken parents and not investigating them. so that the i said they were doing it. so why are parents right now? well, look at this point, i think most americans would say it's a trust, i'd say verify and trust. i don't think anybody trust the after the record they've had in the last few years. so that's number one. number 2, we have conflicting moments. merrick garland has said one thing done. another he said there was no targeting. then there's proof, at least in time there's targeting. what's outrageous right now is it's the same

people that were in charge in the obama era. susan rice, the obama white house that was targeting people, tea party groups through the i r s. now we have the d o, j targeting parents, and here's the message. i want to tell the democrats what we, the people are feeling is that you are using policies to make our kids hate their parents and hate america. and we're all sick of it. and so you're seeing a backlash that's going to come and i don't know whether the republicans in the house will have any success of finding out what's going on. but it's clear, mayor garland changed the policies in order to target parents. the only question is why and when? well, and i think that was one thing that has been made it parents not just public, are democrat parents that were upset with different agencies that were going on a school board. and i found it, bring it to you, our because now we're seeing that there was actually a whistleblowers disclose document showing that the f b, i was involved. they were using counterterrorism tools to investigate parents, a hash tag, either that fbi, i denied it. they did start this threat tag e d u specials as be used on instances which should be investigated. do you believe

that action is warranted against parents who are really just frustrated at their voices about their community? schools are not being hard. i like the way you characterize that, their voices were not being heard by community schools. as of that, they were, they're saying, well, we need more, more distance learning opportunities for students. we want to make sure we're closing the neutral to buy. we want to have up to date pets with 4 or 4 young people to make sure they can compete with china and other 1st world nations when it comes to the case. and that's not what they're out there protesting they're, oh, they're out there running around. same, they're against c r t was, doesn't mean that they said that they're just transgender students being able to exist on earth. you know, god forbid there's a transgender student, my school there doing, how my kid have read reba. love it. oh no. you have to read a book about something other than us, horrible with it, get rid of this. and we can not pretend we do, don't we live in a world where it wasn't at the beginning of this year. on january 5th, the crazy insurrection has tried to overthrow the government and a lynch, the vice president. though you want to keep tabs on people who seem to be along the

st. peter local lines, the full to distort the capital. i've been with them the counterterrorism of the united states government and also will then be per view of the things we should be doing or mentally to assure that we do have a safe and orderly environment for schools. and that we are not fomenting more domestic terrorism attends our capital safe and orderly school. has that with our, our get in line march in line at is i imagine how you view it of what these plans were trying to prevent you. where do, what do you say look, i mean this is, this is actually this. i can't be more embarrassed for robert. this is insanity. i mean, look back on the civil rights era when they were going on the f. b, i was listening in the martin luther king and rosa parks and everybody else. these weren't these parents warren doing anything other than saying we're worried about transgender bathrooms? we are worried way if you say there's no c r t robert, then let's look at the curriculum together. and let's discover whether the c, r, t notions, the ideas are in his education because i know what you're saying. c r t higher

education. what marriage with the american people are saying is when we look at the curriculum, you're teaching stuff that teaches the kids to hate their parents and hate america . and but more importantly, these are peaceful people don't lie about january 6 by the way, your d o. j did not indict anyone for insurrection, but don't target. it's like saying rosa parks should be put in with the white ram because she's because she's and the fact that as a parents have every right to raise their voice in a school board meeting and not be targeted by the f b i, you can laugh robert but you're laughing, oil, tokenism, that is, is bad for you and me as american citizens. and that's what it comes down to. what are right here and, and i get that. we don't wanna compare people to people. what are the rights that americans have right now going forward out of this? what does this past year taught us about what we as individuals have and what the government right has. and where does that line? when did that start to get blurred? robert? well, you know, it's interesting because i'm down here in brunswick, georgia, and the trial for the murders of ahmad aubrey. i'm travelling will reverend jesse

jackson, who's in the hotel room across the hall from me. so here at martin compare people who are storm are the capital and storm school board meetings to rows of hearts in the civil rights movement and beyond laughable. because these people are not dealing with the actual issues in education. we are dealing with these far right wing conspiracy theory from q a non and for chance and all these, all these other outlier. and instead of actually trying to improve education for, for data, because we do lag behind and stem education and science into mere and technology mathematics, all the things that are actually important to succeeding the 21st century. instead of doing that, they are running all down these rabbit holes, trying to find conspiracy from the deal. jay and pizza gate. i think j of kay's whether be back in dallas coming back from the debt or something along those lines . there's people have become laughable, and this is why you have to monitor them because let me start by laughing and then they are radiant. the capital that we have to make sure that we are ensuring liberty. we are super insuring freedom. what does the same type in the rest of us

who grew up believing? pizza gate, people are safe from both people. but and see, here's the thing robert. i and i've taken issue this because i don't believe and generalization. i would never generalize you. i never generalize ed and putting those people there and i could tell you a lot of the parents that were in there were fighting. i agree, i think every parent wants their kid to focus on math and science. what they don't want is the social inundation of what one person who at this point might be along or lines actually being put on their kids and without them knowing. and that's the one thing that i guide you gotta be across the board equal here. and i appreciate both of your conversation on this, but i don't like putting all those parents are there because they weren't all there . for one reason, there was a multiple reasons that their eyes had been awoken to what was going on in our education system this year. because they actually had to teach their kids. and i appreciate both your conversations. i appreciate both of you and thank you for this conversation. after the break, the forgotten manage, usually a phrase, only remembered during an election year and their problems are usually only used is talking points by a politician on the campaign trail. but our own steve gruber is determined to bring

light to the reality which plagues those in middle america. and why it seems even simplest solution, are never even given a chance. when we return to join me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. i'll be speaking to guess of the world of politics, sport business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. ah, new york, it's really what america is about in when our mayor took our place. he was elected because of his campaign on our city, being a tale of 2 cities,

the haves and i have not. and those who have not are usually the ones who wind up being buried on hard i. the city is always wanted to forget about hold island. city is wanted to forget about the people who are buried there. it's wanted to forget about the fact that there is a potter's field, that there is a place where difficult stories are hidden. the fact that we're using inmates to maintain this active burial site, where 1000000 souls are buried, where so much of new york city history is buried, is documents of the inequality that has existed in the city. for centuries, prices for gas is gonna be up dramatically by the time the elections because a vine hasn't adjust the true cause of this calamity, and that is the excess of money printing. and they are scheduled now to double the money supply. the empty money supply again on the next 12 months,

they doubled it over the previous 12 months. they're going to double it again. so gas is going $89.00 a gallon. oh, there's a pack of water around the try, a seal island in contention between canada and the united states, where their government is suddenly become optimal for lobster. our population here is exploded. one of the most valuable fisheries that's ever existed. suddenly you had me and canadian fishermen in these waters. at the same time jousting for position and attentions or high violence is bound to happen. this is the last land border dispute between canada and the united states. it could be magnified to the point where there could be costs that would be significant to post countries. border disputes don't go away, they suspect, or something's going to happen. mm

. okay, well it seems like the day the americans can't get along on a lot of things. but one thing every american can university complain about is a cost of gas because no $1.00 is exempt. now the national average for down is $3.41. but many states, it's even higher with california, breaking their own record at an average of $4.68 per gallon with even more states, closer to $5.00. but why a gas price is continuously climbing when the price of i'm finished gasoline is actually declining. that's exactly what president biden wants to know and issued a letter calling in the federal trade commission to pro the energy companies. and if they are showing some sort of anti consumer behavior, to discuss, to bring in a tide by the horowitz, founder and ceo of above a training. thank you so much for joining me on this. this guy is crazy to be back with you again and let's go okay, well,

help me out on this is very simple answer to president biden's question. yeah, he has no clue what he's doing. that's a simple answer. i mean, when you shut down all the fracking and shell thing, and it states and you go from a net exporter to an end puerto, you are no longer reliant and what we call w t i o, which is there. all that has been plummeting. recently. we are dependent on brent, which comes out of saudi arabia. and of course they are not lowering their prices. they are not pumping more. and in turn, you then shut down much of your supply chains, and you can't get the gas the labor, it costs more money. so even if the gas is falling, the delivery to the points of destination are paying much more to get it there. so the prices are not really falling, it's an imaginary thing that president biden has created to try to exhibit favor, to garner a favor which is wrong. the best thing to do is to have not turned everything off

at one time and gradually worked to a green environment which we can't get to even if we were there now. okay, but you're a smart man. i think i was 5 percent. there's lots of smart people in the world. that sounds pretty simple to do. so why would you basically do what has happened over the past year with the policies the government has put in place and not think you are going to have the outcome that you're getting right now? is it bitin? is it the people advising him or just to complete clueless miss across the board? i would go with a clueless across the board. i, i think, you know, we have a lot of changes coming here and, you know, taking away many of our freedoms from public speech to anything. and that relates back doyle, you know, you create this need. and of course we've got massive inflation. and why will, because the cost of energy goes into every product that to use, including the bottle water that is good for you. it still picks oil to make that bottle, and we are not prepared to shut down all of the exporting and all the fracking that

we do. because we do not have a solution to bring to market yet that could actually make the environment green. add to that china and india which are 30 for 36 percent of the world are never going to stop using call. let me say it again. they are never going to stop using call. so what good is the 4 percent size united? so it's going to do by shutting down and destroying the american citizens. at what cost do we want green energy? any yet? they say it's under green energy, but like i said, we've seen time and time again. that's usually just an umbrella. p r statement. they can make knowing that it's not going to work. what right now can the government do, if anything, to actually reduce the price of them in the past, they've reduced a tax, they states have gone ever use their tax. is there anything they can do or we can continue to see this escalation? why did we're gonna see probably some stabilization right now because brent crude has fallen a little bit along with wi. but really they need to allow the frack or in the shale

producers to go back into business. because 1st of all, we could actually satisfy and probably pay this massive debt. they'd built with this ridiculous stimulus, because the u. k. and germany are starving for natural gas and kind of being held up by russia. we could actually be the supplier of liquid natural gas as well, and actually finance out much of our debt. and so the lip service we get from an administration across the board that has no idea of what it takes to run this thing . and by shutting down the pipeline, you have to, you have to do things in stages like in any other business. the united states, as a country is no different as a business. it must be handled where we can handle it and take it. and until we do that, you're going to have riots. and you're going to have mass chaos, which is really meant, i think this to the divide and conquer the citizen. and then you have come back to because we are to have politicians and say that ignorance or is it being done on

purpose bubba? that's a question we can answer later. thanks for joining me. you've got gas prices might not be as concerning to individuals who live in major cities. and can you spell transportation or even a walk everywhere they need. but for those who actually depend on their automobile in order to go anywhere outside of their home, the price of the pump is become a major focus of the household budget. guess what? we don't talk about gas prices and the effects until they get high and where the headline like so many other issues americans deal with daily which aren't address because the problem and the people aren't usually seem deemed important unless it's an election year. they are important and hence i am very excited about our next guest improve are in the project he's been working on called the forgotten america . steve, thanks for joining me on this. thanks for doing this. this is something very, very important. i don't have much time because i want people to say, but i have to ask you one very important question. ok. what happens if middle america ceases to exist? well that's what's happening. the middle class is evaporating right now. you've got

people that don't have the job to the factories that don't exist anymore. we went from a manufacturing country to a service country. it's kind of goes as a result, the factories are closing here about general motors factors, so forth. but there used to be supplier factories in all of the small towns across america, hooked up with the railroads and the trucking industry and small, medium factories supply those countries. it's how we competed and beat the world and world war 2. if that happened again today, i gotta be honest with scobee, everybody i spoke to. so we couldn't answer the ballot that came today. we could not deal with the challenge of a world war because our manufacturing base is gone. furthermore, our farming is disappearing every day. $10000.00 american farms go out of business every year. people don't know where their food comes from. they don't know where anything comes from, and we don't build anything anymore, not the way we used to. and i think with scares, paste it. the government has come. if they've literally become the enslavement of these farms that are able to stand,

this is the majority of them have so much government subsidy and that's just almost dam is going out of business because it's a fake reality. it's a fake that they could actually survive. so with your documentary, you talk to different people. is there at least hope? are they given up at this point? no people believe in this country. i was very encouraged. i was a month in the end of the whole ball state university here for one of the episodes upcoming. these young people, they believe in this country. they believe in hard work and doing what it takes to move the needle for themselves. sadly, some folks that are older though, have seen the factors close. they've seen their towns like anderson indiana, basically turn into a ghost about a once was you hear about police like flint, michigan, but it's not the only one small towns and medium towns. the factory is a close lead people in dire straits, frankly. okay. and so are these people deciding to stay and try to help rejuvenate their towns or they move into the cities? and that was the one thing about the krona virus. they said that could be positive, it would get people back out into the country, get people out of the cities,

could that actually help? but if they have nowhere to work, once they go there, we're just going to see a redundancy of the problem. one of the phenomenons i've noticed around the countries, those movie, the country, those that have a disposable income to do, to do so. i mean, place like montana, the real estate market. absolutely, i'm fire. you can't afford to go there, most people. so they're being pushed back toward the city where does ago, it's a vicious cycle right now, and the middle class is being awfully high price, whether it's gas prices, like you talked about, or the cost of, of thanksgiving dinner. be more expensive that has been in our lifetime ever. this is all the result of the changing economy. american. i think the government has a, a, they have to answer for it honestly because they have it on the part the north american free trade agreement began this actually, but ross pro warned us about, he was right and i did answer for it every year or there are just on election day that is a life. and sometimes i had the wrong answer. sorry america. thanks for joining looking forward to watching that. thank you. and you can see forgotten america

coming soon to r t america. that's offered a show goes quick, lots to cover, but in the meantime we're going to continue this conversation at study and use on twitter. use that i team and vh. get all the information for steve barber's new show when it comes out. but you have to check out for that to be app for apple and or a device like i thanks for watching. ah, what happened? i mean, no shit, you know, borders and just blind to nationalities and you as a merge, we don't have authority. we don't to look back seen the whole world, leads to, to be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be doing better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we

also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great. the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. ah new york, it's really what america is about ah, when our mayor took our vase, he was elected because of his campaign on our city, being a tale of 2 cities, the haves and i have not. and those who have not are usually the ones who weren't being buried on hard i. the city is always wanted to forget about hold island. city is wanted to forget about the people who are buried there. it's wanted to forget

about the fact that there is a potters field, that there is a place where difficult stories are hidden. the fact that we're using inmates to maintain this active burial site, where 1000000 souls are buried. where so much of new york city history is buried is documents of the inequality that exists in the city for centuries. ah, ah, with all technology fits perfectly well into the future. but we can't change our way of thinking now way that we can visualize how we will flint and how we will fear and how our needs will be in 50 years. so our own do our

own technological devonne. things always further wrong than our ability to feed the us food and drug administration, the fights of freedom of information, requests in court, all saying that it be given a 55 years to fully release for dr. documents or anything to be approval of fall his cobit 19 black. ah, also this, our protests sweep europe as governments clam down yet again, in response to rising cold cases, germany is expected shortly to issue tough, new rules for its unvaccinated cities. they seize as animals up, but we are not on emotion as i saw up into the border. i can't stay very hard when i saw poland use tear gas against women and children. now i thought other european

countries would be no different off the days of tensions.
