lackey: it really started to change quickly. we saw a a lot more purple urchins.s. the kelp started to not look as healthy. we really starteted seeing the last k kelp, more urchins, a ani think there e were a lot of peoe surprised.d. man: when wewe started this urcn removal project, it was really small. it was justst a few peope that really wanted t to do something about the e urchin explplosion because the dedepart hadn't been doing anything. we removed 57 totons of purple urchchins, between the recreational a and the commercil didivers. our program is now wht i considerer a success, ok, soso give youourselves a big round of applausese, please. [cheering] this event basically was spawned by the closure of abalonee seasons. you know,w, thebb seasons were closed d due to the lack of f kelp and t the incread number of f urchinin that were preventing the kelp from coming up. so, you know, basically, our r best chancnce of gettitinn abalalone fisherery back is s to somethining about ththe urchin fifirst. therere's no way to prt what'll happen. things change, bubut a lot

that's the drug the president has been pushing as a kind of miracle cure, along with his lackeys on trump tv, all despite a lack of adequate testing to see if it actually is safe and effective. in fact, last month a chloroquine study was halted over the risk of fatal heart complications. for the first time, dr. bright was under oath before a congressional committee and he basically confirmed the response to the virus from the administration was as shortsighted and disastrous as we thought. >> some scientists raised early warning signals that were overlooked. and pages from our pandemic playbook were ignored by some in leadership and we've known for quite sometime that our stockpile is insufficient and having critical person protective equipment so once this virus began spreading, it became known to be a threat. i did feel quite concerned that we didn't have those supplies. i began pushing urgently in january along with some industry colleagues as well, and those urges, those alarms were not responded to with action. lives were endangered and i believe lives were lost, and not only, that w

and trump install his lackey to run things over there. and guess what? look. they now made an announcement they're going to review the contract. all of that is the necessary contract for the story of richard burr of north carolina. richard burr seemed real, read shady after he dumped up to $1.7 million in stocks right before the outbreak, right before the markets crashed. he did this while publicly talking about what a disasterer the pandemic is going to be even though publicly he said we're prepare and we'll be fine. the more you look at the stock trade, the worse it got. this is a guy who had not done a lot of stock trading. this was the biggest trade in several years. and then get this. we also learned his brother-in-law also dumped his stock on the same day. all of that is sketchy as hell ethically indefensible and the possibly illegal. last night we reported "the l.a. times" seized a cell phone as part of the justice department's investigation into controversial stock trades he made as the novel coronavirus first struck the u.s. seizing a u.s. senator's c

and screw "the washington post" and wants to use the post office to do it and trump installed his lackey to run things over there and guess what? look, they made an announcement they will review the contracts. all of that is the necessary context for the story of republican richard berr rrkbur. he seemed shady after he thumped 1 -- dumped $1.7 million in stocksdumped $1.7 million in stocks while talking what a disaster the pandemic would be even though publicly he said we're prepared and will be fine. the more you look at the stock trade, the worse it got. this is a guy who had not done a lot of stock trading. this was the biggest trade in several years and we learned his brother-in-law also dumped his stock on the same day. all of that is sketchy as hell ethically indefensible and the l.a. times reported federal agents seized a cell phone belonging to burr on wednesday night as part of the justice department's investigation into controversial stock trades he made as the novel coronavirus first struck the u.s. seizing the u.s. senator's cell phone is a big deal. a lot of people's reactio

to sort on the streets matched by disorder in hong kong's legislature neither a lackey to be reduced by china's latest law which could be implemented within a few months. or for more let's bring in my colleague melissa chan from d.w. news asia as she has covered china for many years she joins me tonight from los angeles melissa it's good to have you right here on the show you know what my pompei you said it is technically true hong kong has been losing its all taunting me for some time now but knowing it and saying it are 2 very different things when it comes to us chinese geopolitics why do you think on pay you said what he did when he did. well i think the immediate cause and effect is exactly what your report has been talking about which is beijing's aggressive decision to enforce this national security law on hong kong but we can go farther back to 900 $97.00 and the hand over and the transgressions on the rule of law over the course of that time and of course what happened last year with the protesters and it's clear that the protesters are going to continue it's going to be a l

exercise in basic freedom and it was met with babylonian response of outrage from the usual lockdown lackey. >> they were still a great deal of trepidation and uncertainty about where all of this is headed. we are in a precarious situation right now. >> experts warn too much too soon. >> what i think you should take from it is that we are, in fact flaming the fire here. >> second waves are persistent and real. >> laura: of course blue state such as washington, michigan, california, and illinois are slow walking there reopening. but it is hard to see and watch what is happening around you. it is hard to see it lasting much longer. while the virus took a devastating toll on the country, hospitalizations coast to coast have either declined or leveled off. that is good news. and also promising vaccine news also came out today from moderna. wall street reacted well with the dow jones jumping four percentage points. more good news. of course we hope and pray the reopening does go well. but now that we have moved past the immediate hospital crisis, it is time we think hard about what the state lea

for years, the deep state lackeys like clapper and brandon claimed blaine's call was up incidentally. as had opened by j accident. >> what exactly is going on with this engagement, our primary adversary of russia. that's why i think the warning went on everyone's dashboard, look where it's on. it wasn't a specific story about mike flynn. >> obama officials going out saying, give me everything about michael flynn. absolutely not. >> interesting excuse, boys. we know that you are full of it. even before we heard it from that high-level footage lastss night, the recently declassified documents show that obama aides made zero unmasking requests, they made it the day of flynn of flynn's call with kislyak. they didn't move to unmask that call. on the contrary, flynn wasn't just swept up, wasn't incidental. flynn was targeted. and specifically, he was targeted by jim comey's fbi. again, flynn had every right to talk to the russian advance at her. he had every right to discuss any aspect of policy and any suspensions suggestions that the l logan act was a concern of the obama f people is prep

the most frightening things about the russia revelations is how the establishment and their media lackeys dismissed them. >> obama gate conspiracy theory that president obama, vice president biden and others were somehow involved in an illegal effort to target flynn or something like that, it is a conspiracy theory. >> they pushed russia conspiracy theory for years, and now we have actual evidence that the russia collusion story was fantasy that the muller investigation was a fiasco that they deliberately lied to the american people and law enforcement was deployed by the states takedown political enemies on phony pretext that instead of upholding the century long tradition of people transition of power, the losing side in the last election tried to cripple its successor, that the permanent washington establishment aided and abetted by shameless propaganda colluded in this rule breaking driven by contempt for donald trump and his supporters, obama, biden, bremmer, all of them used law enforcement against their political rival. this is the behavior of a police state. sure they're all for d

. >> laura: some of them media lackeys had been doubling china's role. >> the president is attemptingld up china as the bogeyman and the situation. >> the reason we're in the crisis we are today, not because of anything that china did. >> we have to work with china, work with china on covid-19. on all pandemics, i think the president is all over the place and even heading in the wrong direction. >> laura: now, senator, your older colleague and pal joe biden, he will take us back to the status quo? 2016 when all was hunky-dory with china, right? >> he is a turn to china apologist and the reason they don't want to be hard on china is because it would prove trump to be right about china and it's pretty sick. this drug, hydroxychloroquine, and may be the reason it's not used more because trump keeps talking about it but i find it very odd the democratic party used to be tough on china and all of a sudden very apologetic when it comes to china. to my democratic colleagues, without the chinese communist party deception, this was human to human transmission, you would not have 60,000 it was

lockdown lackeys are touting a new cnn poll that has biden up on trump nationally. 51-46.at same poll show trump waiting in 15 battleground states by a seven-point margin. what do you make of this? >> i think what it shows us is democrats are all in for the lockdown. we are starting to see this more and more in the data. the problem for democrats, which they ran into in 2016, a lot of democrats are congregated in california, new york, illinois, in a bunch of other blue states, and while there are all in on the locked on folks in swing states, not as much, so that is you see the disparity, where joe biden has the national league but he is losing in the battleground states. >> laura: they thought they had trump on the ropes because the economy totally crashed. jobs, horrible. job numbers obviously. unemployment numbers. but in the end, people have to determine who is going to be best suited to bring the economy back and this is where this economist poll comes in. 30% of independent voters believe the economy will improve them i can trump is reelected but that only 18% are op

quoted gilbert and fan,van and i am a big nowice jackson said, electors officially became voluntary lackeys and intellectual nonentities. to whose memory might we justly -- they always voted at their parties call and never thought of thinking for themselves at all. i love that. my question to you is, that will send. side correct other that basically both historical practice and the supreme court's own precedents in a case called mcpherson versus -- which seemed to give states authority to set up what other .ualifications they like >> the rate case comes out a lot in oral argument. wasree the way that case clarified. that was a case where in the alec -- in the primary for people on the ballots, to be the presidential electors, at the general election to be that ballot, a guy wanted to be on the democratic primary ballot to run in that race and potentially be in elector, the party said if you want to run in the democratic primary, you need to take a pledge and support the nominee of the national democratic party for president. editguy did not want to came out where the supreme court said no,

you have the president and his lackeys like brit hume posting joe biden saying this might help to explainhy donald trump does not like to wear a mask in public. it has been a stupid badge, i don't even know what. that is the dumbest most counter productive thing you can do. for the love of god, don't do that. >> yep. yeah, look, it is reckless. the masks are important and helpful. the masks are symbolic about whether you are taking the guidance seriously. sorry, my dog just knocked into the chair that had my camera on it and japan doing contact tracing. we are not doing those things to scale either. the masks are indicative of a larger failure to take public health guidance seriously. >> mark, he is a city council person here in new york and the chair of the health committee. attempting to fill the vacuum of tweeting out little and high risk behavior. so he sort of walks through the risk. others have done similar things. there is an info graphic at fox. this is useful. there are various people doing it in various places based on the best reading of the current science which is incomplete

battle in the trump administration with experts and scientists on one side and trump and political lackeysother and the experts have been losing. sometimes they win for a little bit but then they lose. the latest and perhaps most egregious examples is from worshippers. there is a bunch of covid-19 outbreaks that are traced to churches inside for long periods of time. in arkansas a pastor and his wife infected 33 other people that attended church events. three people died. in virginia a pastor who defiie warnings contracted covid-19 and died. in south korea, literally thousands of cases have been back to one infected woman who went to two large church events. and new research suggests that loud talking, yelling, singing all increase risk of transmission, which would help explain what happened after one single choir practice in seattle, those folks were being responsible socially distant but one symptomatic person infected others. they called that gathering a super spreader event. >> the combination of a close group meeting and singing is very reminiscent of most church services. it tells us

even if there are few times when the president is listening to his advice instead of some flunky or lackey. so i think we treated these witnesses respectfully today because we understand the position we're in. we're glad they're doing these jobs. but they do, i think, bear responsibility, probably more often than they do, to stand up to this president and correct his mistruths. >> let's listen how carefully dr. fauci voiced his concerns about premature reopenings. let's listen to this. >> i've expressed then and again is my concern that some areas, cities, states, what have you, jump over those various check points and prematurely open up without having the capability of being able to respond effectively and efficiently, my concern is that we will start to see little spikes that might turn into outbreaks. >> senator, several states have jumped over those thresholds that dr. fauci recommends they not jump over. and that's the most he can say about it while he's working for donald trump, i guess. >> well, let's be clear. no state is in compliance with the plan to reopen america. because the

fan.a big gilbert sullivan justice jackson said now electors officially became voluntary party lackeys and official non-entities to whose memory we might justly para five -- paraphrase, they always voted at their party's call and never thinking for themselves at all. my question for you is that was a dissent that justice jackson wrote. why is the other side correct that basically both historical practice and even supreme case's own presidents in a called mcpherson versus blacker, which gave states plenty of authority to set qualifications, why don't they point against your side? say i agreeike to that the case was characterized in mr. smith's brief. that was a case where in the alabama primary for people on the ballot running to be the presidential electors at the general election, beyond that ballot. the guy wanted to be on the democratic primary ballot to run in that race to potentially be an elector. the alabama democratic party said if you want to run in the democratic primary, you have to take a pledge that you will support the nominee of the national democratic party for presiden

and then you have the president and like his sort of lackeys like brit hume posting joe biden saying this might help explain why trump doesn't like wearing a mask in the public. the president retweeting it like it's become this stupid badge of masculinity or i don't know what. but it's like, that's the dumbest, most counterproductive thing they can do. like for the love of god, don't do that. >> yep. i mean, look, it's asinine. i don't know what more to say. it's just asinine and reckless. the masks are important and helpful. i think the masks are also somewhat symbolic about whether you are taking the guidance -- sorry, my dog just knocked into the camera. but japan is doing contact tracing, we're not doing that to scale. i think the masks are indicative of a larger failure to take public health guidance seriously. >> mark lavigne, who is a city council person here in new york, the chair of the health committee, had an interesting tweet thread attempting to fill this vacuum of just tweeti inint low risk and high risk behavior. just say no approach is not sustainable, so he walked th

you don't call someone out when they tell new yorkers to drop dead as mitch mcconnell and now his lackey rick scott recently have. i have no problem and they have no problem openly saying that that is wrong. ignorant, naive, cold and economically stupid but what they do not want to see is anyone getting in the way of us saving lives, getting in the way of putting people back safely to work. that's what they deserve. >> congressman max rose, thank you so much for taking time tonight. >> thanks again. >>> up next, i'll talk to the lead investigator running trials on remdesivir, the drug showing the most promise in treatment of covid-19. what his team is learning after this. it's kind of my quiet, alone time. audible is a routine for me. it's like a fun night school for adults. i could easily be seduced into locking myself into a place where i do nothing but listen to books. i never was interested in historical fiction before, but i'm obsessed with it now. there are a lot of like, classic and big titles that i feel like i missed out since i don't have time to read, mean i might as well list

our eyes on amidst the covid pandemic, there is growing noise on the right among the president, his lackeys and cronies and cheer leaders that they want to pursue criminal charges against the obama administration. we're going it talk about all of that tomorrow with former u.s. attorney general eric holder. do not miss it. word to any adventure. but when allergies and congestion strike, take allegra-d... a non-drowsy antihistamine plus a powerful decongestant. so you can always say "yes" to putting your true colors on display. say "yes" to allegra-d. to putting your true colors this virus is testing all of us. and it's testing the people on the front lines of this fight most of all. so abbott is getting new tests into their hands, delivering the critical results they need. and until this fight is over, we...will...never...quit. because they never quit. >>> the u.s. and south korea both recorded their first positive coronavirus cases on the very same day. january 20th. south korea then had a very quick outbreak after that which they with incredible determination suppressed with a very aggress

investigation of those other serious crimes to go forth or really probably anyone else who is a friend or lackey of the president's. look at bill barr's already interference on behalf of roger stone to try to get him a lighter sentence. so, yes, the president installed bill barr for a reason. the president was dissatisfied with jeff sessions for a reason. he felt that jeff sessions should have been his roy cohn and he wasn't, but he did get his roy cohn in bill barr. and what that means is when you have an unscrupulous president like this one, an attorney general who is essentially acting as his defense lawyer, as is rudy giuliani, it means the prospect for further corruption malfeasance is that much greater. i do think that bob mueller, as you say, was very careful and properly so. but i would think in some respects too careful. i think that the policy that he adhered to that you can't indict a sitting president was a mistake. and one that i hope in retrospect we come to recognize as a mistake and we change that policy so that no one is above the law, not even a sitting president. >> all very i

because we already are worried that people are stuck in their houses and happen and now we know that lackey people who are stuck in their house that number one in 5 families is food insecurity she says the number is $2.00 and $5.00 for families with children under 12 and higher for african-american and hispanic families. as meat plant workers have grown ill and died from the global pandemic dozens of plants shut down and walk around all the 17 out of people. that ain't david o. . president trump ordered the plants to reopen with new precautions in the said he plans to change visa rules so that plants can keep foreign workers in the u.s. longer to replace those who are sick or under quarantine but panic buying and a supply chain slowed by social distancing are driving prices higher. chicago's old meat packing district is filled with restaurants now the old slaughterhouses and meat packing plants have moved to rural areas but the meat is still traded on the chicago commodities exchange a few blocks away where prices have been steadily rising. with no cure and no vaccine in sight the rising ar

traditions of the department are going to, you know, just resign and protest, so he can fill them with lackeys choice, these are frankly thugs who are running the justice department right now and it's a real threat to the rule of law and barr's counting on the fact that his thuggery is going to work. i have bad news for him after these conversations yesterday and today, i think the men and women are a lot stronger than this. the traditions of the department and the dna of the department is so strong and just like our country is strong enough to survive trump's missed a ventures on the pandemic, i think the justice department is strong enough to survive this. >> devlin, take me through judge sullivan, judge sullivan accused michael flynn of selling out his country, he has sought to have mike flynn affirmed the guilty plea it was pointed out to me by a former senior justice official yesterday, as recently as the end of 2019 in his courtroom he had flynn confirm the guilty plea, what are the tools in front of judge sullivan right now? >> well, judge sullivan actually has a very interesting histor

the senate is looking like the most pathetic bunch of trump lackeys, and the voters out there are notigation. they are concerned about the economy which trump has wrecked and about covid. we're not one degree of separation, everybody knows somebody who has died or been sick. the fact that the senate is doing there is political malpractice, but oh, well. see you in november. >> michael steele, if you were still running the rnc, they're trying to run a reelect for a president who is presiding over just shy of 100,000 dead, and it would be more by election day, maybe many more. that's like a wartime death toll. you're presiding over a coming depression, 30 million americans unemployed, a rate we haven't seen since the 1930s. you're presiding over people who are literally endangering themselves and their grandmothers, just to show, not wear masks, and show themselves shaking hands. it is hard to understand how, even brad parscale, if he bought another mansion or whatever in ft. lauderdale and got more money, how would he even come up with a plan to run this man for reelection with those c

if you remember, they gave no break, having nothing there, they could use their willing lackeys and comeyge to continue -- and mccabe, to continue the process. it's devastating. when you have attorney general sessions at the time recuse himself, the kabal was running the asylum at the time and it just showed up and this is something that can happen. if it can happen to flynn, it can happen to the candidate donald trump, it can happen to president donald trump, what about you and me, maria, what about a group that gets together. we have to make sure that attorney general barr is doing the things he can and christopher wray he does or doesn't, he needs to make sure this can never happen again. the obama administration it's been reported, that president obama at the time seemed to be obsessed with general flynn. he had his on issues with him but yet was consistently knowing things that was going on. this is a bigger story that keeps getting worse for these who proclaim to be saviors of america, they were actually detractors to our very democracy. maria: i'm really glad you mentioned presiden

you're writing about how this obamagate conspiracy theory president trump is pushing, as well as his lackeysia, writing funny things about it, will hurt him. but you look at this crisis. we can talk about hydroxychloroquine, but more to the point, donald trump is talking about, promising to try to get rid of the affordable care act, obamacare, which actually polls extremely well with americans and older americans. he's pushing, of course, for medicaid cuts, which impacts what? nursing homes across florida, across arizona, across wisconsin, across michigan. you have, of course, him and his administration talking about actually cutting medicaid, medicare, social security. they've said this. donald trump said it out loud after promising to informnever that. he promises universal health care for seniors, then he says he's not doing universal health care for seniors. then he's going to get rid of the affordable care act, which is popular with most americans. it is just one thing after another. it seems like this guy, far from working to actually get seniors voting for him again, has been working

we have lackeys. it started with somebody saying, i'm from the board of supervisors and we do this and do that. that's all b.s. our people are suffering and our people are dying. i think the time has come like the previous caller stated for us to have this city charged. crimes against humanity. crimes against humanity. you supervisors by large measure are not educated on issues. and only one or two or three of you have your heart in the right place. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker. >> you have 12 questions remaining. >> good afternoon, president yee and supervisors. a couple of comments. first off i wanted to thank you for the remote access. i hope when you get back to city hall, it will continue. this has been very helpful. i would agree with the previous caller that public comments could happen at a set time so we don't have to sit here for an hour waiting for our turn. and then secondly, i want to thank mayor breed for her leadership in this pandemic. it's been amazing and an inspir
