what is it that i should know about baltimore, where people should know about baltimore, is that we are majority black population. 63 percent of black. most of our elected officials of black. but yet the disparity between income between white families and black families is still one of the highest in america. this is fellows point slaves, very white neighbourhood. kwame wants to show me that even after racial segregation officially ended baltimore is still divided into rich white and poor black areas. i eat here. i, you know, during here. oh, i'm actually that restaurant right there. during opening day of the baseball season, i was actually called a nigger. there i come here knowing that me being here is kind of a disruption to like the everyday whiteness i love doing. and i love making people uncomfortable with my presence. you see the way the police patrols certain blocks, so there's a neighborhood as a way to protect and you go up a couple blocks up the street. the police are there to enforce. you. can you tell the difference? you can tell the difference because the police here, this

mosby is the state's attorney for baltimore city, the prosecutor for baltimore, and was thought to abrisingrs in the aftermath of freddie gray's death. ultimately u ultimately, three officers were acquitted and she dropped remaining charges against the other three. all six were returned to the baltimore police department. now mosby has her own charges to worry with. >> the charges relate to the purchase of two vacation homes in florida in 2020. charging documents state mosby claimed to have experienced financial hardship due to the covid pandemic in order to withdraw from the city's deferred composition plan, even though documents show she was receiving her full salary. the indictment states she used that money towards the purchase of the homes and the indictment alleges she did not disclose her tax liabilities on the mortgage applications, even though irs placed a lien against her property. >> she denies the charges. the indictment suggests that investigators have paper trail here, which is, now, a hard thing to defend against. but i have to say when i saw the news and read the indictment

coventry direct, redefining insurance. >> went goes on vacation she doesn't go to baltimore, baltimoreprayed the prosecutor there elected to als very close friend of the vice president of the united states, kamala here is. now big trouble. trace gallagher has the latest on that story. >> this is not a case where marilyn mosby. involving a series of financial transactions. federal prosecutors say in 2020 she took out two separate withdrawals from her baltimore city retirement account for the first, her furby $6,000 was to buy a home in kissimmee florida your orlando and disney world, the second loan for 45,000 to b exact. and both loans, she cited financial hardship, she suffere because of the pandemic, except in 2020, the salary is baltimore's top prosecutor actually went up. it increased. even though the irs had issued lien on the baltimore home. its malt she kept lower into raised on the kissimmee house b stating. it was a rental property that she sold recently and made $150,000 profit. she has called vice president kamala harris for role model. she returned the said she will not fai

baltimore is looking at how do we get good people and help them with education. say things like make a difference, be the change. other cities are not doing that. other cities are going the other direction. why do we have to do to get more people to apply. you appeal to people's better instincts and make it more selective to get in. some people go the other direction but you just have to have a high school education. we are talking about life and death decisions. you have a 20-year-old kid making life or death split second decisions the next couple of years so incentivizing cadet programs, going upstream. the country i feel like is changing. i feel like the mayors arere getting it. this administration i think is understanding that but this is the biggest challenge who are going to be police officers of the future. >> we didn't call on jane castor. first of all promising a photograph [inaudible] do you want to weigh in on this question? >> very briefly. if your organization is looked upon as a great law enforcement agency people will want to work there and will wa

don't call the main number, call the baltimore number or fax to the baltimore number and explain your situation and the amount of the refund and begged them to take the case. and say you will file in federal district court and that will cause you additional economic harm. this is exactly the kind of situation that people are facing because the irs cannot process these things timely and efficiently. we are sympathetic because everybody suffered through the pandemic but at some point, you have 150 million taxpayers and you have to put the interest of the 150 million taxpayers first if you want to maintain compliance with the tax system. host: working on finding that number so i can give it to the caller. next up, bill in new jersey. caller: good morning. i tuned in late but i'm watching and listening to the callers. it brings credence to what i'm about to say. i don't know why we still have the tax system we have. i think we should do away with income tax and institute a national sales tax. the people watching are always saying they want the rest to pay their fair share. if you institut

political analyst and former baltimore city crime reporter, she knows what she's talking about especiallyis story, michelle ritchie and host of radical -- shane hazel, georgia libertarian governor candidate, the one and only shane hazel. >> but to be here. kennedy: jon gabriel, i will start with you. when an arsonist says why am i out? this is a horrible idea? maybe we are doing something wrong. >> i found in life i rarely agree with arsonist but i agree with this one, he's maker better points and people leaving the city right now. criminal justice reform is very important but doesn't mean you change the definition of criminal justice and it means justice not only for the accused, also for the victim as well so he's completely right, i'm writing him in for mayor if i ever moved to baltimore because he's right on the money, you have to give fair sentencing and treatment, not just completely ignore serious crimes putting people in baltimore at risk. kennedy: and there are a lot of people have been caught up in the system who have unpaid tickets turn into a bench warrant, they are arrested a

like baltimore -- incentivize? like baltimore, mayors, baltimore is looking at, you know, how do we get good people and help them with education? right? >> today actually, sir. we did, got it approved. >> and then baltimore, if i'm not mistaken, you say things like, you know, make a difference, be the change. other cities are not doing that. other cities are going in the other direction which is, what do we have to do to get more people to apply. i think chuck ramsey is absolutely right you appeal to people's better instincts. you make it more selective to get in. some places go in the other direction. won't mention the cities but instead of 120 credits, you just have to have a high school education. we're talking about life and death decisions. and some cities are making a requirement that you be at least 22, 23. i think that makes a lot of sense. you have a 20-year-old kid making life or death split-second decisions and you've got chaos in your city for the next couple of years. so, incentivizing cadet programs,

i interned at the museum in baltimore, maryland. mutual interest and admiration got us together. i welcome bob and i will begin the presentation now. one other programming notes, so understand all presidents use trains to travel around and still do on some occasions. we picked seven presidents because of some specific issues they encountered or specific milestones that are associated with their presidential train travel. at the conclusion of the stock are going to end with a couple video presentations from the george h.w. bush funeral train courtesy of union pacific so please stick around for that to think you will enjoy that very much. there are three main i guess pieces of presidential train and travel the campaign which is prime which are most familiar with, while in office and then after the president passes away. were going to move from president to president and talk about all three of those even though it may be a little out of chronological order it would probably the best way to handle it. so bob are you there? >> wonderful thank you for joining us today. we are going to

i disrupted somebody's life. >> todd: wow, a baltimore arsonist surprised by his own plea deal after his ex-girlfriend's home on fire while she and two others were inside. he was charged with one count after pleading him down from 18 charges. here to react, a former prosecutor looking to unseat mosby. how can these woke prosecutors keep endangering the public when the criminals themselves think the charges are too light? >> this plea was so disturbing on so many levels, fact for three attempted murders gave him probation, caused victims to lose interest and embolden criminals and those type of pleas are enjoying the city. account for 90% of cases in the city and we have to look at them and really make sure that we are making or having violent repeat offenders held accountable. >> todd: here is the plea deal from the prosecutor. we mentioned what he did, set his ex-girlfriend's house on fire, charged with 18 felonies and three attempted murder charges. it was pleaded to one count of first-degree arson and given a 10-year suspended sentence, released from jail after serving fewer than

you know, i was-in-law school there in baltimore and i know baltimore. crime is very much out of control there. dana, the other sad commentary is that it is 90% of those young people dying are people of color. you have these law-abiding citizens in these black communities and the one thing that is not talked about enough is black on black crime. black people are killing black people unfortunately at a massive proportion in these major metropolitan cities like baltimore. >> dana: and so when you look at this as a former homicide detective, what do you think can and should be done? to your point, schools have been closed. now they are open or remote learning is attractive for some people because they don't want kids to go outside because it's unsafe. >> i have said it on these airwaves over and over. we have to take the handcuffs off of law enforcement officers. they need to hire more law enforcement officers. what is needed is for law enforcement to take back the streets of baltimore. right now and sadly the criminals control the streets of baltimore. as

shifting gears to the city of baltimore, baltimore city, their city states attorney marilyn mosby hasy indicted on charges of perjury filing false mortgage applications related to the purchase of two homes in florida. we are learning vice president harris was a strong inspiration for mosby. she said back in 2017, she cannot fail and i know she will not fail. mosby told the local paper in 2020, there would be no marilyn mosby without kamala harris. when i won states attorney, kamala was my inspiration. pam, start with you. why did it take a month? >> it's very interesting because this happened three months ago. if you had a coworker, a young woman who you knew died he would be handing her anything you had to help. they had to negotiate a search warrant which meant alec baldwin, you have to give us your phone, you don't have a choice not matter, it should not have taken a month to get at, he should have done it right away right after the shooting. the only victim here is ms. hutchins. that young cinematographer who lost her life. nothing is funny about him drawing a dead body and his wi

i cover that in baltimore, indicted by a federal grand jury.tions sea of crooks on both sides of the aisle in the baltimore county prosecutor's office. as these plea deals are stupid, why are they so stupid? when someone goes to ponder whether or not someone to get early release. they look at what they played two or were convicted of. which is generally speaking where it ends up not where the process begins. as a says he was indicted on 18 counts, 18 counts, and fled down ten, pled down to one sentence. it is ridiculous. the fact that an attempted murder down to six months is so reflective of the situation in these big democratic run cities with the district attorney's are running amok now, their priority is to let the jails open. take another look at that guy, he is wearing a mask of the shoulder pads, what is that? if he saw the person on the street would you stay in the same side of the sidewalk as a person? >> first of all the problem, jesse, the problem is that marilyn mosley is one of those das he is right. she comes out with the autopsy

let me ask you about this patient who is in maryland, in baltimore. he's been on, he's been operate about 4 days ago. he's still on the lung and heart machine. there's no guarantee that he's going to leave the hospital, but it's possible. but what, what would you say? even if he doesn't make it? have we actually turned a page and started a new chapter here in terms of transplants? yes, i think we do because i think it's a proof of concept. and again, in another ethical lens, you only would want to do this when there's no other recourse. and in this particular individual, he was too sick to get a real transplant from a, a deceased donor. so i think we would lead a lot from this and i think it will give people courage to then go to maybe so the next step to then they also are the organs as well that people are trying this on as well. yeah. and the patient was quoted as saying, even if he does die, he says, hopefully you'll learn something that will help other people, which you know, a good human being. he is peter 10 hong at the university of california

city of baltimore is alive tonight. thanks to a pig in a medical verse, 2 surgeons at the university of maryland medical center have transplanted a pig heart into a human being and for the patient. this was his last chance. he was too sick to get a human heart. but it may have never arrived anyway. tonight, one man's gamble with a pig that could forever improve the odds for thousands in a world in which demand for seeds supply. i'm bird gulf in berlin. this is the day . ah, he simply didn't want to die. of my dad was to find his death. no one has ever put a card in his best hope of getting out of the hospital and having somewhat of a normal quality of life. we've never done this in a human. the donor animal was very stable. the the organ looked perfect. he himself said, i want to live in, i don't you learn something at this at game changer. we have given him a better option than what continuing, his therapy would have been. the whether it's a day week, month year. i don't know also coming up 20 years ago today, the 1st
