That though hes going to pull from the 44000000000. 00 in federal funds that have been set aside for Natural Disaster relief while were in the middle of Hurricane Season or about to be where experts are now predicting over 2525. 00 named storms named storms out little ones name going are going to be hitting the Atlantic Coast i mean possibly the pacific this is not something you want to do plus states are going to chip in to as much as 100. 00 about 400. 00 as well and states are broke from fighting coves they are cash strapped already there are so many states florida being one of his favorites that has only paid out 2 percent of its Unemployment Benefits already i dont know how this is going to actually be helpful for states where does the money come it really is and at the end of the day weve got to get away from this executive order obsession because look the Bush Administration started the start of the obama ramped it up hugely in his administration and now trumps like clearly taken it even further down there we got to pull back from that because at the end of the day were not were not governed by a king or Queen Congress is there to do that we dont executive orders are being. Didnt you know 3 president s no now we have to start using congress for what its for years. With covert 19 numbers surging in cities across america round about now many local leaders are faced with some tough decisions should they reverse course on the openings of Restaurants Stores and nail salons and hair salons how can they ban interstate travel effectively and what will people stop having house and beach parties even with the news of rising coronavirus cases Americans Still seem to be living their best lives this summer as if the pandemic is a joke my hometown chicago seems to be fed up with the lack of vigilance tourists are taking during this time chicago is known as the jewel of the midwest for its skyline its downtown area fine dining shopping and beaches summertime shia brings thousands of tourists and more importantly tourist dollars last year alone chicago tourism record of 58000000. 00 visitors generating over 140000000. 00 in Hotel Spending alone the tourism is big bucks but with coated its also risky business. In walks the Chicago Department of Health PublicHealth Authorities shared an update this week stating officials may start checking social media profiles to collect evidence on ports this is supposedly meant to help track their behavior because many travelers post pictures and videos of their gatherings on Facebook Twitter and instagram but privacy advocates are already calling foul the American Civil Liberties union a. C. L. U. Is prepared to file a lawsuit against the city of chicago for any application of social Media Monitoring that threatens liberty and privacy. Privacy on digital platforms isnt the only issue coping 1000 is bringing to light in the u. S. A vaccine drug makers are fighting against the clock to get a vaccine ready and on the market the big legal question is could the government work wire people to get it or will people actually use their job if they dont get the vaccine. And the answer may startle you legal precedent dating back to 905 allow states to impose fines and other wish if a vaccine is refused this all begs the question when do individual rights and liberties outweigh Public Health. That is the question that has been on the tips of peoples tongues since the start of the pandemic that is what you always hear whenever people talk about whether they want to wear a mask or whether this is going to have in my individual liberty my individual liberty its a hard question as do i think the state should be finding individuals for not getting vaccines and things like that thats a tough question to answer thats one of those ones words like well once we actually get a vaccine its good to think about it ahead of time but once we actually get it once its no longer mysterious and magical bring down the road then maybe well cross that bridge but as far as the state or city of chicago monitoring tourists what tourist whos traveling to chicago right now in the midst of all this craziness with cobra to go take pictures in front of the great lakes you would be surprised really there been thousands of people who have traveled to take pictures and part of the beam which as a chicago i dont understand the fascination with bend metal thing but ok and they are flooding the beaches as soon as the mayor reopened the beaches they were closed for the 4th of july but they opened immediately that next week more and more people showed up but then with this digital monitoring is that we see city governments and state governments try it for various things and when you open that pandoras box its hard to close it better so theres a reason why a lot of the advocates are pushing against the digital and social Media Monitoring because no one can tell them we dont know how far this Data Collection is going to go and even if its said to be used in a Public Health crisis who knows how long its going to be mined or if it will affect people long term or you know what could actually happen and how does that open the door to future abuse over things not as important as a pandemic you know well we need to monitor everyone social media because of the excesses then you get like a trickle down effect you know there has 5 to be. Consequences for violating surveillance rules and posse and and policies in the tragedy is theres not a lot of surveillance rules to begin with you know theres not a law protecting the constitution was shredded with the patriot act when it came to light and you know for the 4th and 5th amendment so were kind of in this dark area right now where we dont really know what the rules of surveillance by our government will be and its pressure and because social media is one of the easiest ways to surveil someone and in all honesty Companies Businesses peoples employers are already doing that without the permission of individuals themselves so i think that you know what they use it for is more of the question than whether or not theyre surveilling because were getting some every day and i mean i think thats the big question i want to come to this because it is like are we really that bad as a society that we need laws to tell us to be civil but we need laws need government watching our social media just to make sure that were not out spreading the disease but i dont think were going to a level of big brother isnt that scary because its a certain point we have to believe that the public is going to do we tell them to do people are dying there is this virus thats spreading around everywhere in order to decrease that you need to social distance that should be all that we have to tell people you know clearly it isnt so i think that you know cities and localities they are grappling with this because america unlike a lot of other nations who literally follow the rules and things that have a very hard time putting other people ahead of its head of themselves you know we were very selfish and i think the democrats kind of exposed the selfishness its interesting when you get into the Legal Process for vaccines because mandatory vaccines because this all goes back to as you mentioned 100005 which was the Supreme Court case of jacobson versus massachusetts and thats the legal precedent for mandatory vaccines through fines and loss of social access due to the spread of smallpox smallpox was no joke about but now we have a vaccine no one really gets it that often we hope states have the authority to mandate vaccines but this could create a patchwork of state. That require them but then some dont so then it becomes like well if i go to town to see i got to get the back see him but if i go to you know illinois suddenly i dont and that creates a big problem when it comes to trying to contain this thing now absolutely it would end up looking the exact same as the mass mandates and you never know where you have people in places where its absolutely mandatory for you to wear them and then you have some where its not a think that its hard when you dont have a federal mandate or you dont have states that are all on board with a Public Health crisis and were just not seeing that theyve turned this into a political football and states are choosing it and when they want to mandate anything and you know we could avoid mandating back scenes and we could avoid all of this mess or monitoring tourism social media by simply being civil to each other and wearing a mask and staying away from each other 6 pete thats all it takes a step i know all right as were going to break remember that you can also start watching dogs on the man do the brand new portable t. V. Which is available on all platforms coming up we look at the 70 but then a verse 3 of the Nuclear Bombings of nagasaki euro and hiroshima as well as the future of Nuclear Power proliferation state to watch in the. Summer so whoosh thats right summer solution. Today were covering whether or not gold price the largest single thing in the end to the u. S. Dollar with yes superstar alice to the clouds of gold money god stop alister wealth. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy when foundation let it be an arms race based on the very Dramatic Development that only mostly exists i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical. I am time to sit down and talk. An entire village in alaska has had to move if another country trying to wipe out an american town. We do everything in our power to protect the. Water then escaping Climate Change is the same threat right now alaska does seem some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world we lost about 35 feet. 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. It is fast and that means the river is 35. 00 closer than how. Was your 4 i think were a part of america 1st from. God no team no crowd. No shots. Actions speak. No just. Points your thirst for action. Ratings and sal you taishan well well well well well my friends we have a big nose today as russia has. Develop the possible vaccine 1 for covert 19 reuters and other news outlets around the world now reporting russia has indeed become the 1st country to grant Regulatory Approval to a code 19 vaccine after less than 2 months of human testing a move moscow likened to its success in the cold war era of the space race and apparently russian president Vladimir Putin is so high on the efficacy of said vaccine that he even had one of his own daughters take it. Theres no actual word yet on a u. S. President has put obamacare tiffani on an intravenous drip of hydrox a clerk queen and lysol in an effort to outdo his russian counterpart will keep you keep you abreast of that does happen and while us back sports and political political as well now dust off the old cold war 2. 00 debate over moscows potential vaccine on cable news channels and social media to no end the virus itself continues to flourish here in the u. S. Especially inside the walls of United States prisons work order analysis by the u. C. L. A. School of laws code 19 behind bars data project and john hopkins the nobel coronaviruses now infecting american Prison Inmates at a rate more than 5 times higher than the overall u. S. Population and thats climbing in fact at the Federal Correctional Institution and see go will texas the federal bureau of prisons reports that more than 1300 of the approximately 1750 prisoners held there have tested positive for covert 19 these brutal statistics of lead to multiple uprisings among the incarcerated populations across the United States just last week in georgia violence broke out of where state prison where the Atlanta Journal constitution reports that quote tensions were running high due to cope with 192 people incarcerated at the prison have died of the disease while 22 inmates in 32 employees have tested positive. So with covert 19 on fire inside us prisons exposing even more horrors of our Prison Industrial Complex i think thats a good place to start watching the hawks. If you want to know whats going on a cd you string you want to see. Them so you like to see the prizes you always state ill see you drone strikes mass graves see displays systemic deception is to late show which would be so when you feel as. Unwelcome everyone watching the hawks i am tyrone and i was and joining us today to discuss the state of u. S. Prisons as we get deeper into the 1st year of the covert 19 pandemic is the president of the n. W. C. P. U. In georgia mr james wood all and dr andre m. Perry author and fellow at the metropolitan policy program at the Brookings Institute thank you both for coming on today. So look over probably have overcrowding lack of proper medical care or unsanitary Living Conditions were already major issues in the u. S. Prison system how is covert 19 exacerbated these existing issues dr perry your thoughts. Well if you mentioned it there were deluded to that part in. That. Where its really a product. Areas. Are. Areas. There are also. Areas people have little recourse and so we need to look or examine the conditions in prisons in and we need to socially distance people and create the kind of conditions that enable people to thrive and so. The short of it is that prisons are in the main places that that are conducive for virus spread. And other illnesses. And james here in washington d. C. A family of an inmate recently died from cobain while being held in North Carolina was an informed of his death by the bureau of prisons until over 100 days after it occurred we talk about coping in prisons we often only focus on the guards the staff and inmates but how has this crisis affected the families and communities surrounding the u. S. Prison system. Well thank you for that question and as a son of a father who currently serving a sentence in a Georgia State prison ive known too well what that impact does my father got colvin and see we were not able to know really know what the status of your health was you know Legal Counsel was not able to visit these inmates we have complaints of people not even being able to get the kind of reputation it accustomed to servants. So you know this situation is exacerbated the ice is on the wire ways which is what you mean izing just i frankly just and so there must be action taken action taken out not only saved not ours but also to save them on your musical person and the prison system in this country you know has been has been damaged and broken for a long time thats why i agree with a lot of people that say you know we need to abolish the prison system as we know would rebuild it from the ground up trying to turn it into a place of reform rather than incarceration but i also want to talk about Something Else because gentlemen if we cant keep covert from spreading like wildfire in a lock in their own secure environment like a bubble potentially how can we begin to expect to contain covert in our schools james i want to start. Well what we have to look at really what this disease is actually doing and i honestly believe that we have done ourselves a disservice when. Or not honest from a state and National Level as to whether the risk factors involved in this situation if we as a Community Power to us economy money in commerce over the actually all the lives of people who would bring our communities in we can actually defeat this disease is virus and so as we as it relates to school and we talk about opening up colleges and universities we talk about opening up well probably very nervous we you know what were talking about is not the actual help of people but rather how can we keep money flow into peoples pockets how can we keep the bottom knotted up in margins secured in such a basket and we dont lose billions of dollars for me economic standpoint but also i think as they are optimized so the 1st step is actually our thought he was lobbying not money but in the 2nd part of actually being make sure that people have access to health you know resource dr perry we are what are your thoughts on that i mean the schools even stand a chance if we can even keep covert from from turning our prisons into even worse nightmares than they already are. Well 1st of all i want to cosigned in double a c. P. President said my father also he died in prison and i just want to be clear that the. Structural racism that actually put us in position to be in prison the Structural Racism that robs School Districts of the resources needed to protect children come from the same racist street and so no we wont be able to protect children and communities because one that the federal government have not passed a spending bill that enables School States and School Districts to purchase the p. P. S. To socially distance in in classrooms and on buses to provide the technology so when you do have to show. Down the school they can do Remote Learning and so and they not been able to get those resources to schools because they simply do not care about black people and so for me its clear that this is an epidemic well have more epidemic so there are always some type of tragedy repeat itself time and time again until we sure are eradicate the Structural Racism that continues to put black people in a vulnerable position. Powerful and very sure my heart goes out to you i also lost my mom in a prison as well he died from cancer. Nearly 100000 kids 100000 kids in america have been affected with kobe 19 in just the last 2 weeks of july states like georgia are refusing a math mandate for students even though experts like dr anthony 1000 recommend all schools mandate universal mask wearing our schools across the United States truly ready to handle in Person Learning at this stage in the pandemic or do you think there is an alternative and that since you know we mentioned georgia ill start with you james. Well i think thats a very difficult question because one we as a community we dont need the government to tell us whats right or wrong we have a state we have a nation that has not done the right thing but we at the Community Level we know was guess what so we got was if government mandates we get a mask or not we need to tell our people to make sure that they wear a mask thats one of the reasons why i issued an executive order myself as a state president in which all of our members all of our supporters all of our friends and family all were mass when theyre on public because i dont need the governor of the state of georgia to tell us what is in the best interest of our people if we are on the community in the Grassroots Level we know what it takes to say. Im gone way to. Or. You know government officials that do was in best interest of our people. You know more than ever to save our peoples lot but were going to not. Yet. Known schools are not ready. You see the schools on dont even know what day to open schools its endemic the lack of preparedness that schools and School Districts have the Congress Head for 5 months to prepare for this 5 months and its almost as if the pandemic occurred a few weeks ago and so intil schools have the resources to open safely and meet Safety Standards as well as educational standards they will not be ready and it was pointed out earlier that as School Students congregate in crowded spaces there since these facilitating the spread those kids go back to their homes and spread the disease of the illness more and so kids dont live in schools they live in communities schools are not some kind of bubble in which they are sheltered from the rest of the community and so we need to protect the community and the schools and till they are. Returned safely i would not advise a parent to send their child to a place that is simply not ready to take on on on kids safely. Thats a great point you bring up and very quickly i just want to ask ask you both a bit at the end of all this is that what what do you believe believe colbert has truly shown as far as the truth of the american system whether its schools or just a story i think you know you guys a bit more going in the trenches for a long time i mean realistically colbert is not just exposing that the idea of american exceptionalism was always a myth to begin with dr perry you can start with a little bit of time left. Yeah i was going to say that it really revealed the Structural Racism that is present in our country black people are dying at a higher rate and can speak cuz not because of cove it. Attacks black people but it it attacks the conditions in which we live and those conditions were set in generations ago and theyre set every day and so racism is the preexisting condition that we need to get rid of not and not blame it on asthma or diabetes and all these other things that its Structural Racism that is making us vulnerable Structural Racism that it will destroy the resources needed to make our schools say the Structural Racism that puts black people in prison at higher rates and keeps them those conditions unsafe and so all this is doing is revealed playing the person issues policy that attacks black people every day in this country. And not had that its not just you know i and im the president in the us we dont get it but its not just black people this is displaying it well in many ways what black you have known for 20 years is that the institution the empire of America Western civilization is here is not here if he cares more about our. In actual law and so we talk about. We talk about the Unemployment Insurance benefits theyre not going to talk about us yes literally becoming bankrupt because the people that are in leadership care more about their bottom line unwilling elections than actually living was how its. We have a system thats committed more to the preservation of power it seemed to privilege in actual peoples lives in so that is reflected in racism thats like i said really see that is reflected. In the midst its a case of the negro is so on so what do you go down a lot. Of house i got to say james thats powerful stuff but i hate to cut you off there broad got to go to break but excellent excellent stuff mr james wood on dr andrea perry thank you so much for coming on and educating our audience always a pleasure having you both on and the good work that youre doing thank you so much. All right as we go to break over whether you can also still watch knocks on demand for the brand new portable t.
