the, the most of the time breaking record is a good thing, unless it's regarding a crime which in this case in major cities across the united states, one city in particular, has seen more than 500 homicides this year alone. breaking their record through a tell you what city as well as what officials are doing to try and curtail. never 100 naked or so. my naked photos, which were headed in as to the house, are being debated, as whether or not they should be allowed as evidence in the current trial of design maxwell. john, how do you going to bring it to life? and it talk francis the champion of christmas as he is speaking out against those who are trying to official cancel, officially cancel the holiday. a story you will not want to miss some say the war on christmas is underway, plus a $1000000000.00 are going to be flying by you on saturday. if only could find a way to harness the i full sized asteroid such a past year. we will give you all the rocky details. i'm now using the stores and

warranties news use right here on our t america. ah, thanks for joining us here with 3 long weeks ahead for the end of the year. 12 major us cities have seen a record number of homicides or the f. b. i reported back in september that the murder re jumped 30 percent nationwide and 2020, the largest single rise in the history of their measuring crime statistics. now of course, funding decline and arrest partly due to the cupboard in 1900 pair demick is being blamed for the avalanche of killing along with economic hardships, the loss of after school programs and problems filling positions in police departments all across the country. so what can american do to restore peace and order to our cities? simple, don't you think? but should we also expected to get worse before it gets better? well that's asked to experts for plato. certain dominic is so retired colonel and

come out better. and robert manor, thank you so much for joining me, gentlemen. thank you. thank you, rob. i want to start with you on as much of the problem actually seems to be flowing from the pandemic and all the problems it created, especially for densely populated urban areas. but is it too simple to actually blame discovered 19 for these records, mastering murder res actually, scott disagree. i think it's lou chris to blame the pandemic. yes, it created some issues and some problems, but really parents are spending more time with kids. which demographic in their late teens, and has a lot of have a lot of kernel problems if they ever been spending that time. what really happened in 2020? well, we had complete lawlessness when the left was out destroying cities and burning and in total insurrection in washington, d. c. when they tried to attack the white house and got so close that president trump had to be taken to the basement down into the secure area. so what happened?

we invited lawlessness and police officers are not being supported by their political and appointed officials in the cities, and they're leaving in droves are either retiring or they're moving to other states or they're just quit or wrong. i understand your point is i do agree with you, but i will say one thing about the pandemic. what it did is i think that shut things down, the government, shutting down places for people to go, people to go to work. there's a lot of time on hands, especially when they say idle hands or the devil's playground, to you dominate. the official response was at the pandemic was imperfect, how they handle it, but it's still not really good note, you know what to do with it now is america's opened up and these crime rates are still rising. sort of rob's point, can we say this is just completely because we don't have as much law enforcement on duty or they're more scared right now than they were 2 years ago prior to basically all of the turmoil that's gone on who wants to do their job today,

when maybe you're making 90000 dollars years of patrol officer. and then, you know, the pandemic hits that everyone's losing their job. you're going to keep your job who wants to do their job. well, you're going to put your hands on a person of color and be the next you tube sensation, whose head is being called to be put on a pike. i can't see too many cops wanting to do their job. they're gonna be turning corners out here in chicago. i think last year's murder success. all right. we had seen, you know, some 9 percent, they're just overworked, they are not supported whatsoever. you know, it's no secret out here that laurie lightfoot, the mayor, chicago, she can't stand the police, she's vilified them publicly. who wants to do their job? you're talking about dynamic men and women. people who still have, you know, emotions who are hated by the public. they're hated by the people who are supposed to protect them, the villages at the city officials, and they're just caught in between both ends and the pandemic blaming on that. i do agree. yeah, i don't handle the devil's worse workshop. so we don't have to any programs going

out for these to people who need them, but still it's both their responsibility to kind of behave themselves, but the police are just, they're not being supported at all. and yet the response usually there's not a sad about beefing up place apartments, you know, giving them more training and incentivizing people to join rather thing. now we need to throw more money at the community itself. we need to put more government funds into the, into those communities put more money into the st. rob, and do you agree with that idea? i supported limited criminal justice reform for several years now. but when you have these districts attorneys and state attorneys that are being supported by the left that have been elected and office and millions of dollars of gum and the and they're not prosecuting. i mean, just today, the los angeles prosecutors got together and called out the v a there who's a soros back da, because he's not willing to prosecute actual crime, you know, violent crime, sub violent crime that could lead to violent crime,

those kinds of crimes. so we've got to figure out what we need to do and yes, there, there can always be more funding going to the actual folks that need it. but how much is enough? the real problem is, is that we still have laws on the book that put a lot of people in prison that fill up our prisons and we really don't need them to be there. we need to be in places like ria and that sort of all and dominate one of the other issues. bring it back to this one person idea is we're seeing turnover, but we're not replenishing. i like you said, who would want to go join the police department, consider in the immunizations are especially those within their own community recruitment rates are in all time low. st. louis is having the hardest time getting people to actually sign up and join their department on that side of retirement. right. in police departments, 45 percent between last year and this year, 18 percent increase and resignation rate. what does it mean if the demand for place or for accountability are leading officers to give up their mission to protect and

serve, and they're not getting any new recruits? what happens? you're, you're just not going to have qualified candidates. and in my personal opinion, this kind of started this mess with qualified candidates started years ago with like a college requirement. you had less street smart men and women out there. more people who are required a 60 hour degree and you have these kids, you are 20 to 23 year old boys and girls who are patrol and your streets who didn't know how to deal with people properly. now you for to now we still have that problem. that's still a big glaring issue. but then again, why would you want to go be a cop when you can go be a bartender and make twice a what make your as a cop and you have a far stress free career. the cops you're not being supported. we're seeing these again. i can only go over the reference from my area, you know, chicago and the suburbs are we're seeing police department is not supported. the merits are putting pressures on chiefs use are writing policies. it's just a perpetual ation. that just keeps going on and on. and the only people are really going to suffer is the public, right public who is brainwash of the fun,

the police? well, and then they're stupid mistakes made by not well trained officers that were in this hamster well, because then you get the riots because it was a bad move made. and we're backing to the same place again, we're not, there's not a solution to that. you know, raw, remember that driver, who drove his su way into the christmas parade and walk a shout. wisconsin, he killed enter. doesn't innocent people. is it not impossible to look at his rab sheet and be appalled that he wasn't already in prison? i agree. we need prism reform, but he committed this massacre. so why are we not fighting the middle ground to say after used to be 3 strikes you're out? was it was the policy that obviously doesn't exist anymore? what is the policy today about what's actually going to keep these hardened criminals? repeat criminals behind bars to protect the safety of individuals? well, 1st of all, the bail reform, part of the less criminal gestures. reform is what led to that individual being out because he was out on a $500.00 bill for guess what for trying to run over his daughters mother with his

s u. v. and there was all kinds of other things and reasons to know he was a risk and a danger to the community that should have kept him in jail without bail. and i was shocked even now to see the judge said $5000000.00 a bill for this man. when he is a danger to the community. know if, ands or buts about it. we've got to reform that process and get back to a reality based bill institution is part of the criminal justice process, or we are never going to keep these types of massacres from happening. and it's incredible that the regime media here in the united states is not covering that man who really did commit a terrorist attack on a christmas parade holiday until grandma's grandpa and little kids in wounded. you know, like 40 or 50 others of rob are you really surprised? and that's the issue with the day it is one of those that they go after some crimes

but not the others and they cover him. we cover him here and that's why i like to have wonderful guess i q to give insight. thank you. dominic and rob. so it's de 8 of the design maxima trial, and despite one at your being late due to train problems, the fight continued as lawyers battled it out over whether or not to show a huge cache of naked or semi nude women. this is some of the racy photos of maxwell and geoffrey i've seen are beginning to make headlines. our chief john had a, has more another day and more testimony in the trial of gillan maxwell. this time from a man who said he used to drive teenage girls to and from the west palm beach, mansion of jeffrey epstein, watching them leave with hunter dollar bills. he said after spending hours with epstein and also maxwell, the man who identified himself as sean said, he began dating one of the teens who was just 14 years of age at the time while he was 17. that girl now in her thirties is one of several alleged victims of epstein,

who said she performed sexual acts on him. being recruited by maxwell, who prosecutor se recruited and traffic other girls some as young as 14, to epstein and a circle of rich and powerful friends, maxwell's pled not guilty, and her lawyers maintained, she's being scapegoat. and now that epstein is dead and that she was merely just upon that epstein used like many others, unaware of his sick and sordid life. but prosecutor say the pictures taken over the years and shown as evidence tell a much different story. several show maxwell giving epstein a seemingly sensual foot massage on his private jet, even exposing her breasts while other shot show the 2 cozying up together and embracing even kissing on epstein's yachts on ski trips. and over the years at his various properties. throughout the 8 days of testimony thus far, several victims have painted a picture of maxwell as epstein right hand person and an ongoing sex trafficking

operation that span the globe if convicted of the charges against her maxwell faces up to 40 years in prison. she remains locked up in a maximum security federal jail and brooklyn just across the river from lower manhattan, where her trial is being held a far cry from the rich and famous lifestyle she once had for news use hughes john, honey. okay, we honor the story of the grinch stole christmas, but have you ever heard of the pope who saved it? well, really hopeful move, condemning one country handbook. i'll after the, bring through all this room and i drink, shaped by thinkers, and those with ah,

dares thinks we dare to ask ah, breaking toil fullest labor stress. industrial injury. corporal punishment. oh no. words with which wearables

familiar. are you certain that the well do you live in abolished slavery long ago with oh i

ah, welcome back you. it's a school choice versus the state of maine. now the state of maine is actually a unique situation as a math majority of students who attend to private schools in the state because they don't have near right public schools to attend and 99 percent of those cases, the state of maine actually pays the students tuition now that rounds out to a total of around $11000.00 a year on average. however, this does not apply to religious private schools. so one families is their child to a biblical school. so there is no other public school for her child to go to the station, paid her child lofty tuition as well. now the case is gone all the way up to the supreme court. so is there such a thing, a separation of church and state, or is this religious discrimination? so this guy who had a brand luther mercer educator advocate and ceo of mercer ok. thank you so much for

joining me, luther. thank you. good. okay, so i am kind of interested in all this cuz the fact is if you have the majority of your kids go to school, but in the state pays the tuition. isn't that the same thing as public school, but you know what main you be main. so in their case, they do not pay for religious schools because they say the curriculum isn't the same as a state funded public school, but yet they're paying for the private schools. in this fairness, do you believe well in maine it does a unique situation. i think is kind of similar to but not, but basically what they have is in the areas where those children do not have a public school, then the only option that they have is that the state subsidize them to go to a private school. so the state had a responsibility to educate your children, and that option is what they're instituting. so that factual differentiation is

really where it centers on in the city, in, in the state of maine as of in other places in the country like montana where the supreme court said, hey, look, you stuff to that private schools. you also have public options, but you refuse to also subsidize religious schools. and once they pass the law that changed that in montana and say, we will fund any private schools. came back in and said, right, you don't have to subsidize private schools but. but once you start, you can exclude religious school just because and so i think here's, here's the differentiation of what's happening on the supreme court decision. in this particular case, it hinges on that there's no public options in those areas where those kids are going to practice. right? well now i want to say looking at headline from public schools across the country. parents are not in the road actually with the agenda there being time school is that is that well show in the last mid term election?

so should it be a parents choice? oh, absolutely. i think we've established in this country that we're going to have choice options for charter schools are now a part of the dynamic of the pantheon of different schools and we are going to be having access to. but the question again, hinges on this agile understanding of separation of church and state. and the supreme court has moved bad law. and it has said, there are situations where in the law there is a discriminatory factor in their we need to address that. but i think there inching towards having a conversation about having a full blown access public funding. that's it, i think and john roberts, i think he's kind of put forth the idea that there are some reasons to maintain that wall, but they have exceptions. well, they, you know, here's the thing that luther, you know, it's a secret public school curriculums are being pushed farther and further,

politically left and secular. i think they can agree with that's almost anti christians. we've been seen in some cases, some more parents across the country, actually choosing to take their children public schools and put them in other places, whether be home, school or private school or religious school. maine will not pay for religious schools. could the supreme court rule, this is religious discrimination just based on the curriculum now and what it's teaching you know, what i don't think that's what's being asked in this particular case. i think that discriminatory framework is really around, are they making a difference based on the facts on the ground of there's no public option and therefore, subsidizing people to go to publish the private schools. you know, one of the conversations i've had in this area for many years is that there is going to be real challenge to this. i think there's going to have to be a coalition of religion, meaning islamic school days. saying hey, look, it's time to have a conversation about

a full funding of religious schools as far as subsidy as far as vouchers. and again, i think there's supreme court has been very hesitant when having cases brought by a particular faith. and therefore, i think the robustness of the arguments are going to have to be beefed up to really have a overall overarching conversation about hey, we lose conversations in this country. it now may be time to have a whole funding and public funding in this area. there are find a very interesting the mains really. busy the state that does this, the fact that 90 percent go to private was paid for by the government. i had to say that i think opens up a can of worms, a state like i don't know, l annoy new york any other say in the united states except maybe montana could not get away with this because it could be seen as discrimination. is it part of the role that everybody should have access to an education? in this case? do you think that this is kind of where a charter schools schools were founded? could this actually be where we are headed to where more governments have been

having control the schools they actually open up more private schools in charter schools? well, i think it is something that baffled me is how is main not having any particular districts of public schools? that is something that again, i've been kind of researching and looking at the fact that they are not serving that public interest of educating their kids. but saying, oh well, we will get into that busy, but we'll have private institutions do it. i think it was the entire conversation about the main model that i'm going to call now, but they may be other places that i'm not aware of. but i think it was a real conversation about if you are not willing to do that as a state or an unable to do that or the state, i think there will be compensation not only on charter, not only are private, but definitely on the religious aspect. as well, be interesting to see where this goes and people are actually watching because i think it will have an effect. as the cost of undergrad education as well as those with that high school, middle school and elementary,

are continuing to skyrocket. $11000.00 for private school education seems like a good deal actually. for joining me, luther. speaking of private schools, the head of the catholic church actually has been accused of being too lenient when it comes to some issues of faith. heroin christmas is in question. the pontiff has showed his teeth. pope francis has come out in defense of the much the holiday and he's taking europe ahead on our do you guys my hell of it has the story. he's a man of faith and humility. name for that that, mary immaculate and does not look on herself gle only that this is true. humility, not looking on one south, but looking toward god, but v and other. yeah, but when it comes to defending christmas, pope francis does not mixed words. last week in italian daily leaked an internal communication of the european commission, the 30 page document titled union of equality told member states to avoid assuming

that everyone is christian, especially during the christmas holidays. the document also advised that members of the commission avoid using the word christmas and instead use holidays. it also went so far as to suggest against using names that are typically from one religion . substituting maria and john with malika and julio. when the pope got wind of the european commissions guidelines he didn't hold back the head of the catholic church lashed out against the document, comparing it to the actions of historic dictatorships breakfast, also warned against idea logical colonization. only addressing journalist mcclain returning to the vatican from a trip to recent cypress. earlier this week, the pope was quoted as saying in history many, many dictatorships of tried to do this kind of thing was think of napoleon, think of the nazi dictatorship, the communist one. it is something that wrote history hasn't worked to the 84 year

old catholic leader also said the following, when the police and all day i think of the big populism of the past century like naziism or not see them with a point of populism that define national values, so they said and it managed to destroy democratic life and also the death of people to annihilate and become a violent dictatorship. according to a transcript of his comments put, francis denounced what he called water down secularism and urged you to reflect on the ideals of its founders. the pontiff also warned about blanket policies that go against the diversity member country and he said, the european union must respect each country's internal structure. it's variety and not try to make them uniform. he added democracy is weakened to a national values, are sacrificed watered down toward an empire kind of super national governments

want to come after the european commission abruptly retracted the document and also provided suggestions on how to address gender and sexual orientation. the 30 page guide was highly criticized by both the vatican and many right, leaning politicians in europe. according to europe and commission officials, the document was a work in progress, and they are promising to publish an updated version for news news. use alex my, an asteroid at worth more than a pretty penny. we'll pass earth this weekend. and scientists are actually hoping to get as close to a glimpse as i can. will someone who's into looking into it is, are to correspond natasha, suite. an asteroid worth nearly $5000000000.00 and precious metals will be flying by earth on saturday. while still 2400000 miles away, scientists say the slow moving asteroid may provide more insight into whether this elongated rock has a moon orbiting around it. an asteroid over 1000 feet long will be passing north on

saturday at 10 51 am eastern time. it's called $4660.00 near roost and it's valued at $4710000000.00 for its copious amounts of nickel, iron, and cobalt. not visible to the naked eye, scientists are looking to their telescopes and other technology for a closer glimpse of this precious asteroid. and it's creating quite a buzz on social media sub noting it will be 10 times the distance of the moon, yet still considered to be close. and that's why some are pointing out that it's considered to be potentially hazardous. it makes several approaches toward earth each century orbiting the sun every $661.00 days. however, it's considered to be one of these slow moving asteroids clocking in at 14719 miles per hour. well, it sounds incredibly fast compared to say a car. it is still considered to be a more sluggish pace for an asteroid. scientists have their eye on this very shooting star to see if it has 8 moon orbiting around it. as many asteroids do and well near room may be difficult to see. nasa has something incredible in the works

when it comes to viewing asteroids has nasa launched it's dirt mission last week to see if the could change the trajectory of a moving asteroid. the space agency is also launching an x ray observatory called expe. it'll reveal details of the most extreme objects that one would not be able to see through a regular telescope. as we explore all these other parts of discovery space. we find, do things really things that nobody ever thought about before. scientists say the things visible for x rays in the universe are the most extreme types of objects. the same type of simulation cannot be recreated on earth as these extreme environments allow for a much higher energy density and magnetic fields. it simply cannot be replicated on the ground sources. we really want to look at the really close regions. round black holes and neutron, whether it's really extreme physics. we can't image those yet. but if we use this,

this quality of life, but it's not a direction, but it's going to kind of play in which is plain polarized ation tells us something about the shape, about the geometry of the souls that we can image the x p is reportedly 100 times more sensitive than the 1st x ray telescope from the 1970s asteroid has a visual magnitude of 12. won't be visible by the naked eye exports a telescope 8 inches or longer. it will likely provide some type of optical advantage to see this rare sight reporting for news feed hughes and how sweet our t thank you for watching with

ah, and i make no certainly no borders line to nationalities. and you parish as a merge we don't have a terribly we don't to look back seen the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are judgment. 2 common crisis with we can do better, we should be doing better. every one 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 ah, no longer of beacon of democracy and perhaps never was a major international poll. revealed startling thoughts on america's image abroad. especially if most countries surveyed are about to take part in a democracy summit, posted by the u. s. the us treasury threatens american journalists with hefty fines, if they work for certain publications. one author, daniela's ash, as his story with us. us treasury powers. it is a north of that of an individual fri last journalist, and i was microscopic. but some of them are so frightened, they're unwilling even to give interviews like this one. and the number of countries registering the new oma kron strain of coven holden doubles to 57.
