welcome to baltimore. >> steve: baltimore's lawsuit says in part, p.m., vehicle theft poses a seriousand in hand with reckless driving which in turn causes injuries and death. it concerns scarce law enforcement and emergency resources and deprives the public of safe streets and sidewalks. so, p.m., that's what they are saying. you know, it's a matter of time until your city sues walgreen's because it's too easy to shoplift. >> well, the real issue is on a city and state level they have policies that are soft on crime they hug the criminal while the criminal holds law-abiding citizens hostage in our own homes. one party controls the city of baltimore. one party controls the state of maryland. and their policies do not provide the security and the safety that we need in our cities. one party does that. but that's the product when one party rules and you got a majority on both the city and state level. they care more about their folk though are donors they use them for their dollars. they use us law-abiding citizens for their votes. that won't change until we change the way we vote. >> s

and i had heard or like all of you, the rumors of problems in baltimore. but as i really read much about it, there was a great deal of evidence not about an assassination plot in in baltimore, but about a plan, hostile takeover of washington during the very long waiting period from, november six to march 4th. i mean, it's months and is a southern city by southerners in that time, the buchanan president with breckinridge as vice president and how they missed that opportunity. still surprising to me because, the capital was not well-defended and they might easily have taken over that one building or the entire city with a militia of a couple hundred. and there were people trying to do that. former governor henry wise in virginia, there's a lot of writing in journals and in even in newspapers. in december, january, about the expected takeover of the capital. but it never quite happened either to heroic southerners who refused to let it happen. one is general winfield scott, who, after a certain amount of tension surrounded the capital with his men and that th

i must send out a troop and you've princess, he's had the control of the one city of baltimore to the regular russian army. your plan however says it's take control spots of the city also on the program to keep your enough for the run of presidential election campaigning as taking a shaw, far more nationalistic dawn as vote candidates, backlist for police in south africa was just one of the most want the prospect some of the ones in genocide off the he spent more than 2 decades on that on the slide. welcome to program structure. as most center, the log no groups as the post office, the drawing from the you create. instead you have box mode handle which positions to the adoption below shape. last week, log number. as soon as he said that dick and full control of the city, and what has been the longest battle of the war, but cube insist that box load has not fallen of the rushes mercenary grape. wagner, sites work and bug moved is done. the city has been decimated by the longest running and bloody a special in rushes war and ukraine. 5 minutes later you have get any precaution, says he'

rahel. >> on to the city of baltimore which is turning to a new strategy to try to protect the young starting today, the teens between the ages of 14 and 16 will have an 11:00 p.m. curfew. kids 13 and under need to be in by 9:00 p.m. this is a new activity to keep the police off of the streets. the police will not be enforcing the mandate. the mayor brandon scott says it is time to keep them safe. welcome to are the program. >> good morning, and thank you for having me. explain more of how thising to work awe forts le sft -- of how this work authority curfew in place for much of my life. we do not need that, and we have had ways to show the young people how to have that work. we are calling in the social workers and the rec and park, and peers, and people above the age of curfew to be working with to make sure that we have the approach to get our young people into the youth connections who are at two of the rec centers to provide the supports for them and their families. law enforcement is not going to be leading on this, and quite frankly, because they don't have to, and even though

and i took a sort of deep look into what happened in baltimore in 2019. it got hit ransomware just as a new mayor was about to be jack young and he faced dilemma the the the attack the demand was for something like $75,000 which wasn't that much for a city but he didn't want to pay it. it caused all kinds of problems you couldn't buy or sell a house in baltimore because you couldn't get the records that you needed to legitimize the transaction people, couldn't pay their their water bills. they they they couldn't find their cars. and the toll lot of the city toll i mean, all kinds of city services you ordinarily don't really think all of a sudden were not available. and so he had a lot pressure from local business people pay the ransom and get the city moving again. but you know, on principle, he refused and. result was i mean, the city eventually recovered, but it took months and the total bill for repair, you know, recovering the files and repairing the system was something like $18 million as against the 75,000 they would have paid. so, you know, some s

get the latest from our us. correspondence also coming out ukrainian defenders hold the line in baltimore. and the head of the wagner mercenaries doubles down on the threat to pull out his troops. the pump and pageantry as the case king charles and queen camilla crowned in the 1st coordination service at westminster abbey in 70 years. the unlike looking welcome. in the us state of texas, at least 8 people have been killed in a shooting at a shopping center in northeast of dallas. panic shoppers ran for cover as a gunman stepped out and began shooting. several people have been hospitalized. some of them children. the gunman, who authorities believe acted alone was killed by a police officer. this is the latest and a spade of mass killings across the united states. here's what the local may or have to say about the incident. to today is a tragic day for the city of our, our citizens, our friends and visitors who are at the allen premium outlets. today, we are a strong in carry community and we all want the victims and their families impacted by this tragedy to know that we will wrap our arm

of the russian us know a group. wagner says his forces will leave the eastern ukrainian city of baltimore and a furious speech. diff can he goes and accuses rushes, top defense officials of stopping his forces of munitions, also coming up the german shops of this in kenya as tato, a 3 day trip to east africa in r o. b hold up shows has met with kenny as president william, brutal. speaking off of that towards the 2 leaders called for an immediate cease fire incident and final preparations on the way in britain for the current nation of king charles the 3rd footsteps crowning in 70 heres is now just one day when the guy that was welcome to the program, the chief of the russian best, and every group of boxes and it says his forces will leave the eastern ukrainian city of baffled early next week. if can he, pre goshen released this video announcing his troops intention to withdrawal. what he has blamed process top defense officials for the groups heavy losses and to choose them stopping his forces on amunition. the buckner group has the head of russian attempts to capture about noon since las

and what has been the long dispatchers of the war, but keep in system, the baltimore has not fallen of the rushes mercenary grape. wagner, sites, work and back mood is done. the city has been decimated by the longest running and bloody a special in russia's war and ukraine. 5 minutes later you have got any precaution, says his vices will leave by june 1st day and by the way, transferring positions, ammunition to the military, everything including military rations nor your what if the military are in a tough situation. of course, we're leaving those who played a crucial part of the capturing backwoods rock. was your baltimore, the cave has confirmed that wagner flies is a handing over the positions in the cities outskirts to russian troops. but they set the messen regroup, remains in the city center on saturday for goes and claimed full control of black moods. ukrainian troops deny this. they say they're still holding ground in the city, south west. and some of those we have to strike day and night to try to pass the russian defences in the north of back moats nearby to fight. so that m

of course, we're leaving those who played a crucial part in capturing backwoods rock was your baltimore? the cave has confirmed that wagner fights is a handing over the positions in the cities outskirts to russian troops. but they said the most and re group remains in the city center on saturday for goes and claimed full control. in fact, moods, ukrainian troops deny this. they say they're still holding ground in the city, south, west, and some of those we have to strike day and night to try to pass the russian defences in the north of back moats nearby the fights. the stock load has lasted 9 months for goshen says $20000.00 wagner. troops have been killed, but that feeling may be much higher. this is not the 1st time wagner is millionaire or not has threatened to pull out of the city. and he has frequently accused russia's military leaders of incompetence. provisions of power and success in black moods now enhances his pow wow. both as an ally of russian presidents, letting me a person, and as a leader in the ongoing war, sporty numbers. one is a defense analyst, we always told what th

no forces mean for the tactical situation in baltimore. the the, i think it means the basic a, as things stand, the russian attack going back with the russian attempt to fully take that is if you that is basically all noise, if not over for now it's very difficult. see how they can push the ukrainians further without buying that and the willingness of the volume to come on just to basically throw human lives at ukraine positions and come out with very heavy losses. the regular russian on me isn't willing to do that. so maybe they'll be able to hold on to what they already have, but the idea that they can take backwards or even surround the ukrainian forces that i think that is of the cards for now using economy, they're reporting from kids. now that's a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. russian and craney and delegates, i've come to blows at a conference in the turkish capital anchor. the video posted by a ukranian official shows him scuffling with a russian over a ukrainian flock, rushes embassy. i

i want to thank you and your office in baltimore, special agents in baltimore are a criticalv part ofour joint task force. i also want to commend the joint terrorism task force and u.s. attorney in maryland as a result of the fbi's investigation, they filed charges against two defendants for allegedly conspiring to attack one of the local power grids in baltimore. the defendants who were affiliated with the neo-nazi organization and planned to carry out these attacks in furtherance of racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists beliefs. the prosecutors alleged that the defendant ist intended to use firearms t to attack five substations that serve the baltimore area. it's one example of an introduction that i believe could have helpedt avoid a very serious problem. they don't get the attention that i think they deserve when we stop a really bad thing from happening, but i want to thank you and just to follow up on senator peters question, i've seen your testimony that say that the greatest terrorism threat to the homeland is posed byby loan actors or small cells who typically r

respondent did not whether baltimore during the day at. [laughter] she does not miss an opening. and lincoln says my troops are not birds they cannot fly up or they are fish they cannot swim under the sea. they are not molds they cannot dig under the ground. i am not going to say there is no jackson in that. jackson, the person he loathes the most in his political life. mansell arrived and guess what, he left the picture up for four years. he's writing to democrats about the issue and he points to jackson. the pissed democratic party was extraordinarily powerful during the civil war era. one is mark neely's 2002 book the union divided. pei recollected that bookmarks s something like the power of the peace wing of the party is in crank need of analysis. you talk about how the peace democrats aware of it what they thought about lincoln and if they have any speculation how powerful during the war. >> we calmly speak of peace to democrats, war democrats but that is how they appear in a textbook and all of that. i think partially misses the point it's probably harder to put in the tex

they intended to use firearms for five substations that serve the baltimore area.'s one example of an introduction. they don't get the attention i think they deserve when we stop something from happening but i want to. thank you and just a follow-up on senator peters question the greatest threat to the homeland is posed by long actors were small cells could typicallyma radicalize online ad look to attack soft targets with easily accessible weapons that describes baltimore. do you believe that the budget request before us is sufficient to combat thein rising threat of domestic terrorism and other words does it provide you the resources you need? >> the resources we've requested will go a long way to addressing that issue i would say any resources congress sees fit to send us i can assure you they can immediately be put to good use. we have seen a growth and domestic violent extremism and. and at the same time i mentioned all these others we've been talking about and we can't pull people off those threats unless we neglect those so that's why the enhancement that is

. >> the next call is from baltimore. this is arthur in baltimore. hello, arthur. >> hey. can you hear me? hello? >> go ahead, arthur. we will have to move on arthur. >> hello? >> we will go to robber in littleton, colorado. we will talk to robert. hello, robert. >> yes. you often see j edgar hoover in the second or third row of a major prize fighting film. what did he do to get those tickets? why did he not investigate the mafia until after robert kennedy was attorney general? >> j edgar hoover loved going to fight, razors, baseball games -- races, baseball games, and broadway shows. he was well-connected not only in washington but among lots of culture makers. i cannot guarantee it every time. but i would suspect those were all free tickets. the mafia question is interesting. hoover has a reputation as somebody who tried to deny the mafia existed until it was undeniable. there is a lot of truth to that. he did not like his agency being close to things that might corrupt them. he saw the way prohibition corrupted law enforcement. he was skeptical on that front. it is also

[applause] carla: thank you, susan for that lovely introduction. that's the introduction you want your mother to hear.

host: let's go to baltimore now. curtis is on the line from baltimore, independent line. you are on. caller: good morning everyone. correct me if i'm wrong. the united states of america is really a corporation. it is all about business. a lot of people don't realize that. we are all slaves in this country. just look at our government. they make rules and regulations that don't even consider what the people in this country think. if there is a problem with this deficit, which occurs every year or every couple of years when there is an election or something going on in the government, it's always about a debt ceiling deficit. it has been going on forever. why can't they just come up with a piece of the pie in the budget where this thing does not have to return every year? it is all foolishness. it is not about the people. it's about the country making money. it's about them up there and washington, d.c. making money. as soon as the people in america wake up the better off we will be. thank you very much. host: i want to bring up some video. this is white house press secreta

baltimore, a city bike, has joined other cities assuming automakers kia and hyundai alleging a stringhe result of poor security systems. that is really funny because i thought car thefts were the direct result of car thieves. [laughter] silly me. the suit states that both companies failed to equip their vehicles with industry standards immobilization technology. or perhaps they exhume the -- assumed the cars were too ugly to be stolen. it is why "the view" never gets kidnapped. [laughter] [applause] nowel -- [cheers and applause] that you would applaud that. the spike of steps came after videos showing how to swipe the cars using only a screwdriver and a usb drive. attorneys general in 18 states called for a recall of theft from cars. -- saft prone cars, it is on them. while the company's loss of the software update -- upgrade, should alleviate the problem but baltimore is a city run by democrats. all of them. and all of them are struggling with spikes in crime. if you want to stop criminals, sue companies that did not break the law. they are much easier to punish than those pesky vio

baltimore trying to get a handle on soaring crime including a nearly 100% increase in autothefts fromyear. so far this year, nearly 600 kias and hyundais have been stolen in baltimore as the mayor blames faulty antitheft technology and not the he's. new report from zillow predicts mortgage rates could spike as high as 22% if the u.s. defaults on the debt. one expert warning a sharp increase in rates could send the real estate market into a deep freeze and clock is ticking for the federal government to take action and the u.s. could default on its debt as soon as june 1. 1 # the monarch in the throne room with the prince william and grandson prince george together and check in with meteorologist adam klotz for the fox weather forecast. adam, good morning. reporter: good morning. balmy out here on fox square and fairly warm temperatures in the eastern half of the country and not the case everywhere and look at temperatures, 60s, 62 degrees and it is cooler off toward the west and right in the middle of the country and a lot of rain and tornadoes in nebraska yesterday and severe thunders

because the spies a lot of kind of criticism and questioning, he decided we have the troops in baltimore not to withdraw them in order to show that this was, was the influx of the aid from western countries and the lack of progress from the ukrainian side. and then recent months that the ukrainian armed forces still have the capability. so it is sort of symbolic for ukraine to show that they have the capability to hold on. and then perhaps to move to a counter offensive. now, is we hi, there are reports of mr. precaution to investigate the head of the, the wagner, a group, allegedly offering to be try russian troop positions to ukrainian intelligence. how will this lead play out within the russian military briefly, if you can or well, i'm not sure. and what's up regarding is indeed meaning to betrays the russian side, despite his dissatisfaction and despise the rest existing between precaution. um, specifically, um the ministry of defense progression is still close to put in and t is close to the g r u. so it is more maybe of a hoax than real kind of threats to betray russian positions.

i clearly understand what is taking place in baltimore. and we clearly understand why all of that is taking place, you know, more than i can not share with you the technical of use of our military power barrios. but as of today, we can see that the country, which is the dozens times, is bigger than we can not talk you by us, cannot win in this war. and we have this done that a bit more and then we will be prevailing each. and with that is why we're acting how we are acting, valuing a way of view lives, of the people and use the caught us is what east box mode you guys. so we had some military, tactical mistake, for instance. and people could be surrounded by them all the military. no. yeah. what could happen? so not how we could create the situation for people not to be kept checked. no on what people are accomplishing, a very important mission. them now in baltimore. i will not share where exactly, but it witnesses that's possible is not a funky bite by russian federation. as of today, there are no 2 or 3 interpretations of those with you

-- the baltimore area for 80 year. >> jesse: i don't know what he just said.nd things went so south that joe had to be rescued. watch? >> you talk about fighting for the soul of america. but can we level set in terms of the soul of hate crimes are on the random acts of gun violence. women are under attack. >> mr. president? >> i will do one. the sean yes. because that's why we can't let -- we cannot let this election be one where the same man who was president four years ago becomes president again. >> jesse: have you ever seen white house staffers jump n the middle of an interview like that in the anchor was just ratling off of a list of bad things hate crimes on the rise. gun crimes on the rise. attacks on women on the rise and the white house staffer said can't do that sorry. can't do what, exactly? ask the president of the united states a question about the country? today i have spoke with people been in the room presidential sit down interviews under president trump, under obama and under bush and a white house staff member cutting off a journalist in the

that is the last neighborhood, even the trauma full in baltimore. so it was liberated by the regular p, m. c group. and that is you paid, you know, it's hillary attacking the neighborhood at this board. not so much as to achieve what results to help the troops, but out of spite for being forced out of the city forced out of buffalo. the battle is over. we are on the west edges of the city. this is the now infamous domino districts. well that's what was left of this over there is the can is do list districts over there. some of the district repeated troops of withdrawn into the hills in the woods over there, over there, west of the city. all these assurances it builds from the ukrainian government for the credit ministry of defense about your credit troops still controlling parts of the city. uh, these all falls these uh, on through the entire city is under the group. and uh, almost every high rise building or has now had a russian and the flag no flag placed a tool. but it isn't entirely over just because too many of you put into the swell abandoned

i look at places like chicago and baltimore and l.a. the teachers unions run those areas.re going to give those kids a lifeline unless we come in through a tax credit program and offer scholarships to some of these kids. but as it is now, these kids have no chance in this dysfunctional environment. this would be a major life line. i think we can get it done and it will be a big difference. >> trey: you are surrounded by oceans come by water, and have had a series of hurricanes, what is your view on climate change and what is the role of government in addressing it? >> the hurricanes are not -- they have not increased the number, people try to say when we had hurricane and that it was because of climate change, but when you look at the first 60 years from 191960 we had more major hurricanes in florida than in the 60 years since then. this is something that is a fact of life in the sunshine state. i have always rejected the politicized nation of the weather. and i think what we should be doing in the united states is focusing on being energy-independent and making sure that

good to get your thoughts, steve, professor of applied economics in baltimore. here in the uk...ame sharon white was facing a vote of confidence over her strategy, including speculation that she wanted to sell a stake in the retailer — meaning it would no longer be fully owned by its employees. john lewis is seeking to revive growth after posting a huge loss last year and suspending its staff bonus. but speaking a short while ago at an employee forum, dame sharon white asserted that the retailer will always be owned by its employees and de—mutualisation was out of the question. it's the most famous mutual in the uk owned hundred percent by its employees for decades and there's been a lot of interest in this meeting today and it's being held by the partnership being held by the partnership council, which routinely meets twice a year to listen to the chairman and take a couple of votes, but the backdrop has been so challenging. thejohn lewis partnership which has waitrose supermarkets posted a huge loss and the partners lost their much cherished bonus for only the second time since

it's often very difficult to know exactly what the situation is in baltimore and the last 24 hours. we have heard claims and counts the claims, the 3rd from the both of the fonts in the russian most recruit saying that his forces, i've taken full control or fact most well, those claims were denied by officials here a key. but also, when i present lensky on that visit to japan. now, according to the commander of ukraine's grad forces, they, what he is saying is, situation environment is difficult, but it is under control. he says that ukrainian forces to control if a small part of this eastern city, enough he says, to be able to enter it if they need to do so should the situation change and he added rather critically that the situation could change. indeed, he also said that you, craning troops have made some advances on the flanks around the suburbs of black moat, suggesting perhaps some point that they might want to insert the city, or at least what is left of it. but what is special is that here in ukraine, whatever happens in black moods, has worked very, very closely by ukrainia

and well, the truth of the matter is the russians have suffered over a $100000.00 casualties in baltimore. that's hard to make up. both the american and ukrainian presidents have insisted it does not matter if are to almost falls because russia apparently suffered heavy casualties. no evidence given to support that claim, or any statement on the number of dead ukrainians. nato marx, what we do know though, is that just a couple months ago. so lensky was hailing the battle for are almost as the most decisive turning point of the conflict. bob, who additional justice drunk hold that holds back the russian army. but for the russian army to completely pullout more can ons and sales are needed. so just like the battle of, so i have 2 of them. the 5 for buttonwood will change the tragic tory of our war for independence. and the freedom was the landscape probably liked guessing nancy pelosi in and of itself. clearly he was more interested in scraping up another several 1000000000 us taxpayer dollars for the war effort. but now that russian flags are raised across are 2, almost. it looks like he

so he definitively was not at the capitol, he's in a baltimore hotel room, and yet, a d. c.convicted him of this very serious crime, despite his lack of physical presence. barbara, as someone who has experience in this, knows how hard it is, what are your conclusions about the success the department of justice has had now in three different trials of obtaining this many convictions on this very difficult charge? >> it's very gratifying to see that they were able to get these convictions because as you say, chris, this is a difficult charge to prove. and there's not a lot of case law out there that can help prosecutors hang their hat on various aspects of it. and so, you know, as you mentioned, the hutaree case is one that my former office brought in 2010 and was unsuccessful. and i think one of the challenges that made it such an uphill battle is that when you argue that this group tried to oppose, by force, the authority of the united states government, i think the natural reaction from people, at least then, was oh, come on, who would try that? because you would never succ

that with the criminals defensive, they were trying to leave baltimore. despite recent controversy, man florida residents say it's stil home to the happiest place on earth. the spearmint rhino gentlemen's club in west palm beach. some residents researchers at the university of south carolin have halted a series of experiments on a cocaine addicted rats without the cocaine, the rats have lost the motivation to work on wall street. >> this week jeff it be zones his reportedly proposed to lauren sanchez with a $2.5 million engagement ring she's really excited because sh gets to keep it in the divorce. >> just taking a chance of. for real and as new noah's movi actor jude law covered himself and bled, and sweat which is unsurprising that film is being shot on location in san francisco. to cities today. >> finally, the naacp advised against a visiting florida over policies it considers hostile t black americans. like sending illegal immigrants to martha's vineyard or barack obama lives at. >> now to some news it. cnn hacks it now no one wants another cup of jo

his family moved to baltimore. i think it was in the wake nat turner's rebellion when virginia authorities really clamped down on the rights of free black families and virginia, augusta a barber. but he really wanted to become a doctor. he applied to the university pennsylvania medical college and was denied admission on account of his race. so he moved to toronto, where attended trinity medical school. he a medical doctor. and then for next six years, practiced medicine in toronto and trained other young black doctors. in january of 1863, augustus saw lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation and authorized the use of black soldiers. and less than a week later, augustus sent letter to lincoln and. in this letter, augusta talked about how he left the country to gain an education. but he wanted to return and join the military as a doctor says, on the top right hand side. so that i can be of some use to my race. augusta was invited washington d.c. to be examined and when the examining board saw him they contacted

. >> baltimore. >> reporter: he is trying to get to baltimore they had been on herd his family.e is with his dad and his sister. he says they have been attacked, they have been robbed, and he describes really a treacherous trek. part of the train journey north for some is what is called the beast. it's also known as the train of death and often controlled by cartels. roberto wears a facemask to not infect the others. tells me he got sick early on in his travels. there is a lot of them that have been sick. over the journey, he had to leave his kids, young ones. he says his toddlers nearly died, so he sent them back with family in honduras as he continues on. they stand, sit, and sleep on metal construction beams covered in plastic. dirty clothes and cardboard used to make it as comfortable as possible. the heat and sun brutal. at night it's the cold and wind. the smells a range. sewage at times and burning trash as we drove past what appears to be an incinerator. their souls worn down. [ speaking in spanish ] >> he says it's dangerous for women, too, and they said food is really

when his ship came back to baltimore, he was brought into this federal court and convicted of manslaughter. he received three years in prison, or one dollar fine, then he had to pay the court costs. he spent the three years in prison, and i imagine he could have afforded the dollar fine, someone would have probably given that to him but the court costs amounted to $666.50. that would essentially turn his 3-year sentence into a life sentence because he couldn't get out until he paid it off and he would never get the money if he couldn't get out. so in april of 1863, with nowhere left to turn, he sent this letter to abraham lincoln, explained the situation and asked for parton. lincoln received this and he saw justice in brown's request and this is the official pardon from the national archives that lincoln gave him, a full and unconditional pardon releasing young brown from prison. another correspondent of lincoln's was this man, jeremiah asher, a baptist minister in philadelphia and he wrote to lincoln in september of 1863 saying that the us covered troop regiments needed more black chapla
