to hear that does not seem right to somebody who's on the verge of making history as one of the greatest sportsmen of all time. but somehow we are straight and believe that he's changing the system. they don't accept that his medical exemption is valid, legitimate, straightforward. they have somehow got it into their heads that he has come up with something fraudulent and he is seeking a free pass into australia. and the problem then becomes if next week he is refused permission to enter australia. scott morrison almost single handedly has created an anti vax mata because anti vexes will claim the jug of which has been prosecuted unfairly. and thus they have a great symbol of the anti backs campaign. i'm not saying the joke of it yourself, isn't on the backs. i know he said, i don't want the facts and that's all there is to. it hasn't come the people not to

12:33 pm
thank you so much for joining, you know, mild mander middle of the road goes with the flow, all traits of someone you would like to be friends with, but these days, those can be taken as derogatory insults. if it's in reference to a public servant who was elected by the people, as both u. s. political parties and this modern era, try to figure out how to gain or stay in power. just like with everything else, it seems. those who can garner the most attention actually get to control the narrative. but in this, an accurate reflection of their voters, or it is more about what those who seek attention are hoping their party evolves into. how politicians are infamous for saying something on the campaign trail and doing a 180, or even nothing at all once they're in office. but gone are those days when a long hours of searching their transcripts and newspaper articles to find those
12:34 pm
promises to hold a politician be to the fire. now, all journalists have to do is take a quick word search on the internet, but that is only half those. the media actually want to hold them accountable. so this is a lesson the new mayor of new york is actually learning as he has been called out for is 180 on a candle in crime in the city. now the new district attorney, as manhattan says, he will not prosecute certain crimes at a time when manhattan continues to see a spike in crime and newly elected mayor eric adams, who originally, like i said, around this tough on crime platform, is supporting him. this is other cities like san francisco. los angeles also continued to grapple with violence, including home invasions and smash and grab robberies. will archie correspond it? john hardy has more with just a few days on the job. manhattan da alvin brag is already making waves. in a recent memo to his staff brags has growing up in harlem. he is, quote,
12:35 pm
seen every side of the criminal justice system from a young age and has dedicated his career to the extra completely goals of safety and fairness, brag rights that data, and my personal experience is show that reserving incarceration for matters involving significant harm will make a safer, so he says the fence is like marijuana possession prostitution resisting arrest and even fare evasion will no longer be prosecuted by his office. he also said he's advising lesser charges for some low level drug offenders. various types of burglary and even robberies. if a quote suspect displays a dangerous instrument, but does not create a genuine risk of physical harm. brag says the changes will allow his office to spend more time prosecuting violent crimes. like, for example, the shoot out that happened on the block where he lives recently. but critics contend brags, policy will not deter crime, but instead potentially add to the cities. ongoing problem with patrick lynch,
12:36 pm
president of the police benevolent association of the city of new york writes in a statement. we continue to have serious concerns about the message. these types of policies sent to both police officers and criminals on the street. police officers don't want to be sent out to enforce laws that the district attorneys won't prosecute. and her already too many people who believe that they can commit crimes, resist arrest, interfere with police officers, and face 0 consequences. there are similar concerns about a lack of law enforcement and other cities, such as los angeles, in san francisco, and los angeles violent home invasion robberies have increased and san francisco police are still dealing with asserting robberies like the numerous smashing. grab a tax at various stores. there and effort is underway in california by republican lawmakers to overturn proposition 478-2014 ballot measure that reduced the penalties for certain crimes like robbery and drug possession. a measure g o p
12:37 pm
official say, only adds to the ongoing problem of lawlessness plating the golden state. and in texas, dozens of suspects released on multiple felony bonds. have reportedly killed 156 people since 2018, raising serious concerns about bail reform efforts in the lone star state, allowing violent criminals back on to the streets to commit even more heinous crimes for news use. use john, honey. okay, so let's discuss this even further and bring in former assistant us attorney. i'm going to reagan ministration, and currently a criminal defense attorney in beverly hills. david cat, david, thanks so much for joining me. it's great to be the scottie, happy new year. happy new year, you know, before we get to the political angle, i want to look at this from actually a legal perspective. where do you stand on this issue as you look at it and should certain laws actually be allowed to be broken? and if the da does not prosecute, does that mean that the perpetrator has no punishment?
12:38 pm
well, there are other ways that perpetrators are punished. and i think there will be some exceptions for things take resisting arrest. if somebody resist arrest, especially if there's injury to the police officers, and it's clear that the police aren't making it up because they don't like the suspect, but it's a real thing. i think that should certainly be prosecuted. and, you know, at some point you can possess enough marijuana that's pretty clear that you're going to sell it, or you're going to sell it to a young person. and that has to be taken seriously by law enforcement. someone who has a huge amount of marijuana and it can be shown that they're going to sell it to a young person with regard to the not going to prison thing. you know, prison does do a lot of harm. we have to be realistic about that. if there's some way to avoid prison, we sort of want to work that into the system. i think one of the problems is by having these announcements had there been a lot of announcements that they're not going to probably this crime, but that you really do send the wrong message. so right now in los angeles, they're just today, the beverly hills city council voted unanimously to endorse the recall of our
12:39 pm
district attorney down here. and of course, our district attorney like the one up in san francisco have gotten a lot of criticism. and now it looks like the new york new district attorney is going to get the same kind of criticism that they're not fighting crime hard enough . and, you know, scotty, let's take these flash mobs. what they should be doing is infiltrating these flash mob. if you send out a message to 100 people, one of them ought to be an agent or right. police inform it. who tells you, hey, they're going to the north and then you go to the north. so you prevent it, or you catch the people input and you prosecute the people who are sending out the flash mob. they go. so there are ways to fight these crimes. and one last thing to scott, you know, when i was in the reagan administration, i was part of the not part. i was the head of the southern california fraud task force. we went up to these broads very late at the same time. we prosecuted every bank robbery in southern california and people say,
12:40 pm
why did you do both federal resources not to health care, not to invest them? why did you take it away from the task force and go after bank robberies and guess what? when somebody sticks a gun in your face or even threatens to stick a gun in your face, that is a terrifying event. the idea that you can run around with a gun or a night and not create panic in terror in ordinary people is a myth. and if the d a in new york really believes that he's believing studies and not believing human nature. so that is very turn david, i told you i can hold off the politics. i got to bring the politics in for the last couple seconds here that i have you. do you feel like this is a betrayal by the mayor of new york who campaign on making these streets safer again and now you're seeing him actually endorsed. like you said petty things, letting him kind of go underneath the wayside. well, we have to not have things like stop and stress which was directed at minorities, but certainly the streets need to be safe or, you know, the biggest victims of street crime are but already people. so he's got to look out for the minority victims. he won a huge amount of boats out in brooklyn and queens,
12:41 pm
the bronx for minority voters, and they expect him to come through and keep them safe, not pass the police, not talk socio logical studies, but keep people say, which i think is ultimately what every american good american, once their community and david, i thank you for giving us your insight. great to be with you. okay, so now after the break represented brenda lawrence has become the 25th and democrat to say she is not going to seek re election in congress this year. so does this mean even the party members know their parties, platform is no longer connecting with their supporters? well, we're going to discuss when we were talking with ah,
12:42 pm
12:43 pm
the 7 years still with the report the one of the great benefits to being in power is if you don't like the outcome of an event, you can possibly actually change the rules to get the results you want. that is exactly what a senate majority leader charles chuck schumer is going to try to do the current senate roles and regard the filibuster. now granted, it's rare any legislative victory ever comes for a filibuster. with the most recent notable example, with ted cruz who gave a 21 hour speech over obamacare in 2013. but guess what? we still had obamacare, but the irony is the longest speech actually goes to south carolina, senator strom thurmond, who filibuster, for 24 hours and 18 minutes all against the civil rights act of 9 $157.00 strong for the democrat. now this was a later followed in the 1960,
12:44 pm
when democrats actually attended to block the passage of the civil rights act of $964.00 and filibusters for a record 75 hours together. now luckily for america, the filibuster failed, and the senate was able to pass a major civil rights bill. but there, that's actually a rarity. and now the democrats want to get rid of one of their most used tools. in order past legislation, they believe promote voting rights. but without the changing of this rule, a center schumer knows his voting rights and legislation will be blocked. but if it is a change which is good for everyone, why is this that are having such trouble? garnering support from those even what there is on party to discuss. we bring in talk radio host and civil rights tourney. robert hello and steve gruber, host at this steve riverside. thanks for joining me gentlemen. thanks. got it. okay, so i'm gonna start with you while we're on this and before we get to this voting rights bell, i want to discuss this filibuster and the changes that center shaver wants to bring
12:45 pm
. robert, why can't the majority leader garner not those to get the rules changed if it's actually good for the senate? one thing we've become so recalcitrant american politics is to become completely tribal at this point in time. republicans aren't against the voting rights at our, the realization of the voting rights. and the, for the people that are on policy reasons is simply put, it hurts to me literally in many states, and therefore they will not support it. so what we're looking at is a situation where people are so entrenched on their party lines. there's no debate anymore, there's no back and forth. there's no part of non party line votes at this point in history. this is a spending bill at the infrastructure bill. we're all the cinders, get the line up at the trough and get as much money out of it as they want, other than that of the something for the american people than we cannot get bipartisanship. i think miss mcdonald announced the arab bipartisanship is over. and i think the part of the reason for that is the man having speaking filibusters anymore right now. senators, just have to announce that they're going to filibuster, than that'll fit through,
12:46 pm
kills to bill. i say get, make them get up there, mate, ted cruz, stand up for 20 hours and why? why he was against voting rights make with mccardle. we understand republicans stand up there and articulate to the american people why voting rights are wrong. and i think that that, and that's what we have to go back to, instead of simply having them able to write a letter or a memo and pretending that that is enough to it's in order to have a filibuster. that's why the system is broken. well, it's not only just talking about went on hand. i mean, we had rand paul up a few years ago, reading dr. seuss on the floor of the house, i think to send if i remember. right. but steve, is it as simple as you know, this idea of republicans are against supporting better rights bill or is it is robert point out more about just electoral that it hurts them is, is all about elections. let's be honest about the voter rights and the federal, the zation of elections. scotty, shall we? let's talk about some facts here. 47 countries in europe, not one allows me to vote without a boat or id, not one mexico doesn't. canada doesn't male in ballads, not allowed in, not one of the 47 nations of europe not allowed in canada or mexico,
12:47 pm
or all of these places anti democratic. do they hate certain members, sally, are they racist? are they blocking voting? and the answer of course is no, they know that voter id is a simple, common sense idea. and by the way, the american people have a huge amount of support for voter id like a jo mansion state, for example, west virginia were donald trump, one by about 40 points. joe match is doing something remarkable there. he's representing the people that voted for him and not special interest in washington. voter id is popular male in balance or not. and that's a fact. and it's true across europe. it's sure across canada, it's true cost mexico. and in fact, the united states is an outlier and absolute outlier on these issues to suggest that somehow we are disenfranchising anyone to vote in america by using similar rules that are used by every western nation in the world. plus
12:48 pm
a lot of nations that are not as enlightened, shall we say, as the rest of the world. they also require a voter id do not allow balance balance, because they know how dangerous that could be to the outcome of the elections. and what i find to be interesting, once they're in the present time, robert, i will give you a chance to respond. but something that we've shown is that maybe i better id bad the co, very vaccination cards. good. i mean, let's keep consistency or, or we're not gonna stand in line to vote, but we'll stand in line for combing test. i had a little confusing here why the case? why there's kind of almost a double standard, robert. all to sustain this point. that's an interesting intellectual debate to have. it has nothing to do with the current voting rights legislation, which is pending in congress. they doesn't touch on voter either. doesn't touch on mailing balance is while registering people to vote at the age of 18. increasingly, member of drop boxes across the country where people be able to vote reducing the global pulse. some stakes of getting rid of somebody didn't rotation that found that we have an electoral cycle where people are gerrymandering districts to the point where you do when your next door neighbor might be in different congressional
12:49 pm
districts. so the stuff in the bill has nothing to do what steve is actually talking mounting, that part of the problem, this administration, they have not gotten out there in explained to the american people, what they're trying to do. they never got out, explain, go bit better to the american people. so the whole poorly, they haven't gotten out explain voting rights. the american people lose. a lot of times all these people won't kill or on your show on my show or, and steve show talking about these things to be american people. and that's part of the problem with us. why republican put these straw man arguments to have literally nothing to do with the legislature in front of us. because those are things that the click baby on or titles on the internet as a whole, to the text to the actual bill. but that they, i don't even know the administration is within the bill that congress has put together. i mean, we saw in the last ministration, probably either having the same communications. maybe we need a good telephone guy over the age 20. please check the lines between the white house and congress real quick steve to you. 30 seconds is just as simple as that a dropbox is. okay. it's remarkable to me that all of these democrats and i hear
12:50 pm
talking on the television on a daily basis are all time voter id because it's in the bill. they're all talking about mail and balance because it's in the bill. of course it's in the bill. robert, just simply wrong about this. and the fact of the matter is, you made a great point, scotty. and that is, if i don't sit in line to get a test for coven 19, you don't have to provide 1st picture id clever that you have to actually prove who you are to get a test for home. and you should do the same thing to vote in america. well, robert robert team, we will continue this conversation and i thank you both for joining me on it. now the story which on the surface looks very juvenile in regards to political war between the 2 parties, but how it plays out will actually determine how powerful one of the youngest members of congress is the democratic party. and more importantly, if our outspoken progressive ideology is actually the future, there's no secret. one of the favorite targets of conservatives is congressmen out and congresswoman alexandria occasion cortez and be fair. she gives them
12:51 pm
a lot of material to work with. however, over the weekend, the progressive princess decided to celebrate the new year with her boyfriend in south florida. of course, papa, she was there, took pictures of her frolicking around all without her mask and republic. install this as an example of democracy from the left and they made sure everyone knew it. now and unprecedented response amc accused her critics. and she did this being sexually frustrated and are saying this because they want to date her and they're obsessed with her boyfriend roberts feet. she even took another step, released a video of her boyfriend's feet on our instagram story. now florida governor rhonda sanchez was asked about the controversy surrounding amc and her vacation to estate . yeah, this to say happy though that florida is a place where people know they can come and they can live like normal people they can make their own decisions. okay, so one might wonder if a r c knew exactly what she was doing when she went to the very red free of cover to restriction state. and if she knew the attention she was going to garner and
12:52 pm
wanted to go, or was she just naive and when to go the best place to vacation, where most people are actually not having to live under the same overreaching rules and taxes. she is pushing on our own constituents. let's find out and bring a d y editor of at large for salon magazine and the professor at the university of baltimore, brock lurie. thank you so much for joining me. now, i've actually just came out with political commentary. the author, the book atheism, destroy, sorry about the brock. i was too busy reading my screen. it looks great. thank you so much for joining me. thank you. thank you for having. okay, so brock on the way i look, i love your phrase, progressive princess, i'm gonna remember that i am exactly right. a good hash tag. it's the year, i guess i was 2021 to the hashtags rock i wanna start with you is a problem with a of see actually vacation in florida. and when just 2 weeks ago here was i think where people are getting her. she said she was not able to show up in person to her job because she did not feel safe due to what she calls the quote,
12:53 pm
public health emergency of the krona virus pandemic. and a few weeks later, she's in florida. yeah, there's no getting around that. this is pure hypocrisy, planet simple that it's just, just simply no way to get around this. i don't mind if she wants a vacation in some form florida. that's a normal thing to do in the winter, but please do not give us as pretext that somehow you can on the one hand say that things are dangerous in new york. and on the other hand, say that it takes danger. takes a vacation when you go to florida and only florida and look, she's a, she's called the personality in the day and she shows a public figure. but she's a nurse that she loves his attention. she doesn't mind it policy, but guess what? it's working. so d, is she kind of the future of what the different part of the democratic party is looking for? she is taking pop culture and made it into politics, especially for the younger crowd. and is this the template actually for democrats want their future leaders to kind of be like our leticia is on the internet too
12:54 pm
much nowadays. everybody going to internet all the time? i don't know if i were caught or future of progressive, but i will call her human being who has the right to change her mind. but let's not forget that we just had a president who literally lived on twitter 24 hours a day to tweet any and everything. so what she has a right to because this is a barracka in this country, is supposed to be able to, to do these things and, and, and change her mind and go to florida and all of these different things. but what i will say is that the way she moves in a way she thinks and how she talks, does it really represent me how i feel i can fit about to be pretty progresses? and i think a lot of people here would actually said about most politicians of the party is supposed to go and vote for. but real quick, i want to keep this moving because she is you social media to get across. facebook just deleted a concert of children's book publisher per summer, crying foul to this no longer going to be allowed. here is of liberty, puts out figures like ronald reagan, amy, call me barrett thomas cell,
12:55 pm
and it's taken personally off facebook, other publishers leslie. books of a b, c's of a of see, are allowed to stay on the platform. i want to start with, you go back to you on this. when did you agree with this move? is that fair? you know, at the end of the day, again, you know, i truly believe that people should be able to write whatever they, what a right, if it's terrible righty is racist if it's whatever, because these are free with them. it's supposed to have it right. like and tell people who should be able to sort through what's good and what's not good. and we just, we haven't, we haven't been getting them well and that's the thing. and i went back to on this one, brock because basic set it remove the publisher because they failed to comply with the low quality or disruptive context policy. your response was fascinated because this disruptive policy, this district to conduct sort of policy. you know, we have a country now our people are preaching socialists, which i consider to be very dangerous. that the preaching communism which is very
12:56 pm
dangerous. they're preaching the notion that boys and girls from studio, i think 2nd, the same, which i think is very j insurance. i think it was a lot of things at humanizing america best dangerous to demonizing the police and so forth. so somehow they allow for the free speech when it comes to the team, noticing things that they don't mind passing or but when it comes to anything that's conservative, they right away. want a squash that because that might be dangerous. it is her policy. of course, there's no issue about this is never worked. when anyone host at any party has decided to squash free speech is always backfires and it will backfire upon the democrats as well. they really ought to be very careful here because it is a slippery slope in every direction in bay fall upon them one day as well. and i had to go with you on the stay going to print it. let those kind of like what we do here at the show that the viewers decide, i believe that they have enough brains, they can think for themselves. let's provide the information, let them make up their own mind, even if it doesn't agree with mind. at least. and be informed, hence why d, before i let you go,
12:57 pm
and i want to talk to about the 25th democrat announcing they are not seeking their office in the mid terms. democrat, mayor of north las vegas is actually switching his party. something that we hear republicans op and go and they affiliated with the democrats, that he said that the democrats have become this card carrying socialist, an elitist, and they deserted the working class. americans. d is this going to be seeing more of is this just typical midterms? people frustrated and just wanting to keep their jobs, people are frustrated and they want to keep the jobs. and at the end of the day, both of the parties are doing terrible right now. in my opinion, as it's taxpaying citizens, i am very, i'm not happy with either party. normally just the republic is to get on my nerves . but now that democrats are mirroring the other party and it's just, i think it's time for a new party. i think we need something different and that's something that was the raleigh cry for republicans for a long time. okay. are you 15 seconds on this one? brock? do you agree? are you just as frustrated as they are democratic counterpart?
12:58 pm
well, i think that democrats have a lot of reasons, be frustrated and they see where the wind is blowing, and they do not want to be part of what was that when it's going, they need to bail out if they want to keep their job. and i'm sure you actually have some empathy for that because at times i think republicans have felt the same way. gentlemen, thank you so much for joining me. no, that's all the time we have a day show, but i promise this is a conversation which will continue to follow me on twitter. got it and you keep the hash tag team and vh question of the day. do you think we need a 3rd party and for some more download the portal that the app for your apple android device? thanks for watching. they happy day helping day informed with at states have to be ready to be able to afford enzyme and find the
12:59 pm
luxury that for sure. despite having the most expensive health care system in the world. we have poor life expectancy. we have higher infant mortality. we have more deaths from treatable causes, so americans are suffering every day from it. it's as if these people don't count. i saw how they can choose your customers and dump the sick. oh, also rate and satisfy their wall street investors. no parents should have to see what i saw. so if you're denying payment for someone's care, your make life and death decision and determine to get to live 10 who dies to me that's. that's getting away with murder.
1:00 pm
mm. ah, breaking news on ard see dozens of protest, arizona, at least 18 police officers are killed in riots rating through counseling. them with government building storm done torch officials say that the unrest, those also calls the new cobit i'd break straight shoot, i unfold does not security forces wage. and i'm the terror operation was russian peacekeepers arrive in the country to help restore order. a local journalist describes scenes of not every 20 minutes you can hear shooting near the police department. there's automatic fire and pistol shots. i think it seems like they are trying to storm the police department while overnight on the same story as act force has re took the country's largest to report after it was great by an armed
