sonia pruitt is a retired captain of the montgomery county maryland police department and a founder ofand captain pruitt, thank you for being with us. you know the landscape of policing very, very well and there are always concerns with police that civilian oversight and governments will hamstring us in our ability to do the job. so how do you evaluate the criticism of this bill that passed in the house that it is going to hamstring police? good morning and thanks for having me again, ali. it's good to see you. >> you, too. >> so we have this bill, and i have read the bill over and over trying to find out where in the bill does it say that officers are not going to be able to do their jobs? you cannot do your job effectively as a police officer if you do not have accountability measures in place. this is simply saying we need to strengthen those accountability measures. listen, all police officers including myself took an oath. we took an oath to police ethically. we took an oath to serve and protect everyone. we gave our word that we would do that, and i say to you, if you cannot abid

and let me use one example, montgomery county, maryland, last year had 11 rapes within a couple montho someone explain to me how the sanctuary policy protects the immigrant policy. it doesn't. it protects criminals. i.c.e. should be able to arrest someone not only in the country illegally, but has committed a serious offense. they need to be arrested, detained and removed from the cup. they gave up their right to be here when they did such heinous things. elizabeth: you know, we had obama, hillary clinton, schumer, pelosi, they all said illegal immigrants shouldn't be here. and pelosi said, quote: we don't want any more coming. so, but now if you, if people listen to what you say on the hard left or in the media, certain individuals in the media, they're going to say, oh, you know, this is racist, to talk like this. but what you're saying is the first victims are the immigrant community and minority communities themselves. is that what you're saying? >> absolutely, that's what i'm saying. and, look, i've been called a racist. last time i testifieded, i had a couple congresswomen i'm x

we're pursuing a similar case in montgomery county where efforts to racially balance the magnet middle schools have drastically reduced the number of asian american students. and yet, another case. i represent asian american families in new york. my clients include asian american immigrants who want the opportunity for their children to earn their way into public schools like stiverson, bureaucracy science, and brooklyn tech. but mayor de blasio stated that the majority asian compositions of those schools was a, quote, monumental injustice, and changed the admissions policy to make it harder for low-income asian american students to get into those schools. pacific legal foundation has also filed a brief in students for fair admissions vs. harvard, a case using harvard's explicit use of race that decreases asian american enrollment. this led to stereotypes, including telling asian american students to refrain from saying they aspire to pursue a career in medicine or major in math or science. apparently those interests are too asian. this is america. government should not condone discrim

the loudest voices we've been hearing from teachers in the country are those like we heard in montgomery countyol chanting we're not going back to school. one speaker said they should throw their bodies on the gears of the machine to stop it. what we saw in the town hall with president joe biden where a teacher said in his 30s how can i be expected to go back to school without new ventilation systems, without vaccinations? those people i want to say ask the people in the studio or bartenders, cab drivers, mechanics. all the people across this country who have been going back to work. it shows there is real divide here. teachers unions are pushing back saying we don't care about the test scores or being your babysitter and demanding ran somes from communities. they awarded them $6.6 billion to return to job. we've heard from the beginning that we're all in the together. it is becoming increasingly clear that's not the case. some people are ahead of others. >> bill: the last line. enough of this. we're in this together. we all know we are not. >> doesn't seem like we are. i got a phone call from

i live in montgomery county in maryland, maine city here and they are going to open up for number couple they are liberal with a different mindset as far as this pandemic but at least we will see what's working and right now, we have not got the covid numbers, say in a week or two when things get worse in texas and florida, but right now things are working better in states that are open then states that are closed. stuart: you have been on the show before. you like pfizer stock any think it's going places, but this morning it's still hanging at $35 a share. >> it started the year at 36.81, so it's actually down. this is the number one vaccine in the world is suffering from a pandemic so it blows my mind that the stock has not moved at. $41 billion revenue company at pfizer with about 20 billion plus revenues of 50% growth and then you get 50% of that away with about 10 billion to biotech, but i still think it's street like an accounting one off like a one-time game. you will have the same game next year and it looks like they will be in the business of vaccinations for quite some time. s
