shift, and if that is the case, then having in mind the change in the very essence of this conflict, we will take appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be presented to us. yeah. meanwhile, the us secretary of state symposium, spar minnesota and mulling of the tired restrictions being lifted on euclid and using that weapons, was those top diplomatic voice support for the us initiative sizing? a large threat from russia? well, tony put in can also help the countries round pub in funds for his military pulling on the spot is bending over 4 percent of gdp on defense. this is really the gold standard among nato countries. and of course, it hosts thousands of us and allied forces as low as i was telling, totally produce space is regularly breached by russian drugs in mississauga. last year, a russian christmas. so traveled through the 2 sides of portland and landed 10 kilometers from my house. so i believe we should do something about to preempt. we

spoke to german olsa and will correspondent thomas where i thought, who stays the west is playing with fire and whisking the outbreak of world war 3 or whatever country is at work with the u. s. and, and russia helps them to strike us territory. i think that was not the discussion with a rush as part of this was. so i think, i think the west is already active part of the war for a long time because from international law. and we have this from the exports of the german goodness, tucker driven problem, and even sharing intelligence data, operate of data and toes. data is already participation of the wall and this the rest is risking this escalation. um, i'm afraid that might be a rational reaction with which the west doesn't like. and then we have coming really in a, in a really process of, of escalation steps and whether we find a way out before they are there. well, i'm thinking what would happen? i don't know the really the worst test to think whether it's worse towards

a world war, the real hard world war. because of all these questions we, after you attacking rush, it was a long range wisdom of weapons, which technically pushing us right wouldn't be managed and programmed by what? by west and by nature, sol, just it's, i think, a step which is, yeah, the final one at which the, the russians were, the russians will react with what they didn't do until now. always good to have your company here, and i'll tell you international. i do hope you're having a great weekend as well for me today. rachel ribble will be with you at the top of that. the, the elementary school, the teachers call me back problem g. so i was labeled early. i ended up getting kicked out of school. i was 1617 and

18. those should have been my graduation high school with years. but it's been, i'm on the streets selling crack, gang bang. and thinking that i was going to make the see 21. the house. get dressed and all red ride the bus to the hill, just walk around and wait for a group of blues to approach me 1st, i would try to fight it. agonized. i'd walk in the middle and then i pull out that day and watch scatter. when i go, you know, watch was like roaches. then i got addicted to be and see.

my mom was here trying to be the disciplinary and, and the bread went. but she didn't have no help. i rebuild. it gives her. but it wasn't her fault. we were in this together and that's why i should have known the, the, my mom was my 1st love up until the mid eighty's when crack became the reason to be for her. it was okay. but she had an addiction and it grew monstrous. her addiction to crap. so proceeded everything, her dignity, her ability to reason her desire to be a mother. that was why those things are broken. i mean,

i didn't like the life that i was living, but somehow i felt helpless to change it. i felt like i was just being carried lead on this wave of circumstance not being able to have the job not being able to be the person that i saw that i could be i just couldn't seem to get to her. i remember a few days before being incarcerated, crying out to god and knowing how trapped i felt knowing how limited my options were. and i just wanted out of that life. i didn't stand on the corner. i didn't do drive by, but i had a boyfriend that did and i had fooled myself with this thinking that if i just stayed on the fringes of that lifestyle, that i couldn't get caught up. that wasn't true when they started around and not single suspects. and i was on my boyfriend was for my protestations of

innocence is fell on deaf ears. there must be no doubt about who side were. all people who committed crimes should be called convicted and punished. the savings will be used to put a 100000 police officers on the street. a 20 percent increase. it will be used to build prisoners to keep a 100000 violent criminals off the street. you will be put away and for what is for good 3 strikes, menu bar, and 1993. washington state was the 1st state in the nation to implement the 3 strikes policy and make it okay to put people in prison and throw away the key. there are many people who rehabilitated their lives, who could be contributing to our young people, to our families, and that door has been slammed shut in washington state. we are still one of the only 16 states that does not have the parole system. what's interesting about

washington state is really reflective of what's interesting about the whole country . this country is based on fear. when you have a country that is based on or that has grown out of conservation and slavery, people won't rest easy. that's why everyone needs to be armed in this country to protect what they have. because what they have was stolen in that talk about it may not admit it. was there whether you are on the read or on the blue. whatever side it is, know once these easily in this country, mister speaker, i simply want to say legislators have on inherent conflict of interest. the number one objective in the legislature is to get re elected the. so how do you get re elected? it's really easy ponder podium exam, tough on crime that the children who have been killed. the victims of bias, the public is fed up and that means more prison todd. we have

a greater percentage of our population in prison right now in any society, in the history of western civilization. can we have this high and mighty attitude about ourselves? i want you to imagine that as much as $60.00 to $0.70 of every tax dollar in my county, it goes toward criminal justice. it is a horrendous waste of resources. if you don't care about people, it's a horrendous ways of resources on a private washing. it's very, very easy to instigate dear. that's what happened with 3 strikes because the face of a threat then became young, black and brown. man, we need to take these people on. they are often connected to big drug cartels. they are not just gangs of kids anymore. they are often the kinds of kids that are called super predatory is no conscience, no empathy. we can talk about why they ended up that way,

but 1st we have to bring them to here in the present. it is asked the f b i to launch a very concerted effort against games everywhere. john and i were to go to the f. b i task force. they were forming a task force or gaggs. we met with the drugs are privately, i should go around the country, you see communities everywhere, people who were no longer going to hide in their houses. this is our hill. all we wanted to know is go by your drugs and pew, our for lake. we don't come here, you've got to take us there, but are willing with leadership and with involvement from police and directions, least not what i take to the streets. you want to know while we're having success with our federal task force because it set them up all over the country and not all of them kicking like we were in the wanted to know why john and i knew the game members from work on the street and so we kind of knew who they should be targeting the,

the place started doing more sweeps, they would just get the kids and bound them up for whatever little reason they could if they could get them on a sentence, they give them a loan. so it keeps them from ever coming that is to plant built on these keys, playgrounds on these caves, chickens doors and they get the search more later. i got you got you down in a damn bay and the day they got to one the leaves all by yourself. and if they cost you by yourself, you're going to jail. may not have them even been a criminal activity. they just because they were out there, they get them just on low during finals walk into the corner store and i and i saw a house little further up, but i thought look nice. so i want it to walk by and the police saw me. they would say to me, what you do on here, usually around here, the narrative

that we keep hearing is that there are people are entitled to be here. even though folks know that this is not anybody's, it's not their land. so that narrative of being entitled and really protecting that is really what drives a lot. but we as a country don't want to uncover that to pay given a race based country such as we are the people that really are impacted by the poor us. and the blacks the looking back now i'm able to see everything that happy. i wasn't able to see it. the so wasn't able to avoid the trash that were set for me. a lot of us weren't. i don't want to excuse any of the crimes that were committed because they were crimes committee, but some people didn't commit crimes and were just caught up in the friends that they chose. and it wasn't even the friends that they chose. the principal they grew up with this has been able to do, they need, these are the kids you went to school with these,

these 2 people who's on the house and with the sunday dinner and most of us didn't just wake up and say, i want to be a game, remember, this is what i'm going to be in life, which is go into that because this will expose to it. and then the last part of my career, i have the best job i had ultimate freedom to set my own targets in my own investigation. as long as i was producing they left me alone. so do you have a lot of supervision by the late ninety's at the hilltop area was pretty much cleaned up, the american jacob tangleridge murder,

the drama aggravated murder is the highest crime in washington. they changed some law and a hard time for arm crime in 1994. that's is if a murder occurs during the discharge of a fire or from a motor vehicle, then you can be subject to the death penalty or life in prison. if i would have got senses to 1st to be murder, i probably with a has 27 years since the murder occurred during the discharge of a firearm from a motor vehicle and at $77070.00. the reason that the judge did not have the ability of giving me the sentence of less than life without parole, is that the legislature made it an aggravating circumstance to do

a drive by shooting. because he shot impulsively without knowing who was in the other car. but out of a car, only one punishment was appropriate. that law was passed because mostly white legislators viewed it as words for gang members to shoot from a car. it was a clear reaction to the fear, black and hispanic individuals, a weapon to the commission of the crime. the promise of the criminal justice system is that he rises above the race. so it would be the title of the when i work in washington state, it's a state that is overwhelmingly why that's not true when i go into a prison. the criminal justice system remains broken by the influence of race, the

. there's no end in sight over how you're going to continue to destroy the earth. is the case all the methods of the people. i tried to go to the gym, but i'm certainly not ready to fight russia. this is also of soon. this is the 3rd world lunacy re washington. as for sort of wonderland likes to say, we have the tools while we just start with stability and business deal, some of the living will not have very good stuff again, you know, price here in new york. i think we don't know the aftermath any time that you're not allowed to ask questions, you should ask all of the questions. some more questions ask the better. the answer is will be the on the

many privacy you're surrounded by the feel like cattle, you feel like something's not real, the down and search some roller coaster on your emotional wellbeing. did you put in a sale 8 by 10 cell, with people that you don't know? you never may. you don't know what they're there for. what their bell is, deprivation to your sensors. it's hard to explain. you're away from everything that you know. i could not conceive of my life taking place within the walls that i

saw around me. we're going to give you 3 meals a day. we don't give us a minutes lab for us to go slab to sleep on. and that's basically yet. there is no rehabilitation, there's no repair present as a socializing force and total institution does it work by and large, now people learn to become anti social is not designed to help anybody grow the officers and make sure that you understand that you are a prisoner when you find yourself in contact with them, they tend to look down as a way of not giving you eye contact for a lot of prisoners, a kind of makes them internalize that you, nobody i don't think that as prisoners were

treated as people now i'm able to handle values all over a like minded slavery, you know, mean and, and get out of that guy as you guys are. so i used to be a young new sitting in this room and i used to be talking about stuff that i don't have no clue about, you know, i'm saying politics, policies, legislators, nice to hear people speak about these different types of things. i use it, hey, not knowing that i used to hate watching cnn and see these guys talking about politics and have no clue about what they was talking about. but knowing that these decisions were affecting my life somehow. and i will say that that is kind of one of the things that sent me on my quest. i wanted to learn. i think that the opportunities with the black prisoners caucus slipped my interaction with free people. i'm able to really internalize that i'm not an

offender. i'm not a prisoner, i'm just a man who happens to be in prison. one of the things that the black person is conscious says is that they may be absent from community, but they're still a part of community sales. people come from the outside every single week who cared about us, and i'm saying that would let us know that we were still part of the community. i always remember, mary. she said, if we planned on returning back to the community, how we came in here, then we might as well stay in here. was the president of the black caucus at monroe. i went to the hall for a class and fraction possession of a cell phone. because i was life without it didn't grant me the opportunity to stay at my gosh, if to call him back the

office was especially a large part of every day this was going on. but when i got here that was enough. i basically just reached out to ministration and was kind of hesitating on allowing us to be able to have the name, black prisoners congress. it was to radical for them. my favorite for something to have black. the just reinforced the blackboards this contest has a loan for doctors history within the department of corrections the and so eventually it was never been able to to really get going. and so now as we started to have some of our 1st meetings, the idea was now what is it that we want to see, right? what are the opportunities that we need in order for us to you know,

really stay committed on improving self. you'll begin to meet people who's been there longer than you've been a lot. people want them since the sevens and so you'll realize that they're really not letting people on the sides. not only do you have to make a commitment, but you have to make a choice. if i still want to continue living the life that got me here,

or i want to try and live in a better way. we can never become somebody different. a better version of the almost immediately upon ants and my crown may, i found out that a few guys had just started a program and they called cheats and just uh for taking education and creating has me and come on and all that i've been on and since with his kids in the same place, he was on the east side. i was on the heel down. so we was really rivals back in when he kind of gave when he came here last night and he was and he was involved a, b, b, c. and he won the starter teams program. they came up with an idea. we was like, okay, let's do it. there was several of us or call him back who had a lot of time to do and present and we weren't being allowed to attend education class. the priority for our education department

is those individuals with 7 years or less on their sense. so if you have more than 7 years, which a lot of people do, you don't get a chance to get an education. we want it to get professors to be able to come out here, but we was too far. so the next thing was, do we either left his program, go to waste or do we figure out a way to make it flow? so the way that we came up with was, we'll just teach the class, work backwards from here, and let me know that we could teach math. we knew that we could teach writing as well. it was more about the skill sets that we already had and being able to just really nurture those and provide those in the classroom settings. so y equals negative and a negative is positive. we reached out to a lot of prisoners, right guys, we have degrees and all the time so, but then we also quickly came to the realization just because you have a degree doesn't mean that you can teach. eventually we begin to 5 guys and

teaching was something that was the last time we set about creating all a syllabus isn't on curriculum sion, on classes, stories changing and shaping people's thinking. and from there, the worst rate when i got here and was working on the school floor blue by the teach classroom. and it was the 1st time i ever seen a classroom being taught without an officer and it was prisoners lift enough prisoners. and so when i seen these guys doing and stuff i had to be part of the for half, 2 hours a day, we decided to diversify our board. this way we can attract more students, but also we can understand each other more. so is reaching all corners is present part of me coming on board with this with seeing what you guys were doing and,

and wanting to get behind there. i was like, yes, finally, an opportunity for me to go and do something productive that wasn't provided before that inmates create. we've created a support group for, for positivity and the most on life of environments. we've been committed against one another for so long. it literally allows a prison to run itself as long as they stay separated, we ain't got to worry about them coming together, becoming knowledgeable, fixing the social issue that end up landing them in prison in the 1st place. the more do we begin to educate ourselves, the more empowered we become, the less manipulating we can be, the less oppressed we can be. now what we're beginning to realize is that we can get more accomplished together then we can apply the, you know, because it can take an assessment as far as i really didn't want to lead column by

because of the things that we were doing up there. they were so powerful and the relationships that we have with administration. i didn't think that we're going to be able to duplicate some of those things. so i thought to stay there in my comfort zone. i can see you in a view. ready tomorrow was coming up for his time and leave also. ready the war settings mine are shown, and i went to my review right after that, where i spoke to my counselor and they asked me where i want to go when it came time to transfer and they told me shout. so i was happy i sent word to do more than i was coming, and he sent word to say good, i'm glad because i mean having some problems with trying to get the pvc store to you. most of the people that live in this county were this prince. this is not a diverse community. the most diversity they have is behind these barbed wire sensors. some days they have a challenge accepting me. so i can only imagine what the challenges would be around

a black christmas car. the fear that i here is not, oh, you know, the name is the black prisoner's caucus, it's, it's a black gang. we should be fearful of the people who, ignorant, short sighted opinions about things like that. having taken the opportunity to participate and learn really what is going on there. washing correction center, thank you for being here today. i attended the use of man and i was speechless. i listen to the stories that were being told, the things i had to say really resonated with me and drew me in the things that we have been through. things that we have been around, i would worry what others would think would i think i go saw? that was my concern. i used to think that not the gang bang was assigned a week. i only intended to be there for

a few minutes to kind of check in to an introduction, see what it was about. and when i sat down, i didn't want to get back up hope to help young people away making some of the same bad decisions that we may also, we hope to be able to reach young people themselves. we believe in them and expect them to influence and add to the world. once we solidify the bbc here, we wanted to move on to the next thing and start to teach program because this prison as far as prisoners is, is kind of the mack of prisons in our state. this is where every person 1st comes to, and this is where every person, if you're transferring from one prison to another prison, you have to come through here. so as we in inmates who's going to be here for a while, we see everybody in the state. they have to cross our past us the young guys all the time come to here whose life are influenced negative. that's something that i've had to live with, working towards having a positive influence on those generations. now, it gives me

a way to undo some of the wrongs that batch the if you think about russia, what is your mind to picture the landscape open up before your eyes? the last one does, can you imagine the, the discount starts the journey, the,

are you ready to come along the, the, the new dell, a report of late rejects washington's proposals and joins sanctions against r t after the us. so unprecedented action targeting our network after 9 months of denial, the idea of finally admit 3 is really hosted. we're probably killed in gaza as a result of events airstrikes, us troops to complete their withdrawal from new zara for more than a decade of failed anti terror. medicine and africa's the whole region also had to go to the question of allowing the premium to receive it is the question of whether or not the native country could be directly involved in the ministry.
