Steve bannon is out. Back to the conversation about race in this country. It turns from the violence in charlottesville to a conversation about statues and memorials, we talked the other day about a memorial in new jersey dedicated to more than 2000 confederate soldiers who died in union captivity. Should it or should it not be taken down . Theres no discussion about changing a tile at the mta subway station in new york city. According to reports they were put there to honor the founder of the New York Times. It is actually the rebel flag which we know as the battle flag of robert e lee. Right there in the tiles the question is, should it be removed . If we want to remind people in a diverse country about original sin, then we keep those things that. If we want to move to the futu future, we have to start putting those things away. I hear that and you agree that . Did anybody notice that before they made it a political issue . How many people have walked by and said thats interesting history. When i first on the story thought were going to be giving people test to see if its offensive, im in times square often enough, i never knew it. I never knew it was dedicated to the founder of the New York Times. The liberal New York Times, the guy was wheeled to t the confederacy which is ironic. Ive never seen it before but i really dont think it has a place to be there. What you think it would cost to redo the tile . How many homeless folks could they feet and how many recovery beds can they fund before they do this. When it comes to the mta, the tiles on the wall are not the problem. That debate is still worthwhile. We talk about this country, to prevail but at the end of the day, struggles round where we are going as a country. My son who is studying this as a history major in graduate school, how do we address the errors of the past . To keep reminding people that america was once a place that was not inclusive of all people . You have to. Otherwise youre going to repeat it. People have to learn history and no they shouldnt do those things again. If you dont remind people. Not by honoring the flag. Thats a different thing. Our country was so divided. They were traders. No country ever honors its traders. You have to remind people. We teach people about the bad atrocities across the globe so doesnt happen again. We dont think like evil people who wouldve thought a plane could drive into the World Trade Center . Nobody. We dont think that way. We really should exhume the body because he was buried with a confederate flag. We have to stop the symbolism everywhere, right . I cant do it. Lets move on. On the same subject of race, president of former girlfriend, black woman, article in the New York Times talking about is trump a racist . We did a story on this and she said, her answer to the question, was i wouldnt data races. Take a look. I asked cara what she thought about the article implying that trump refused to love her because she was black. I would never go out with anybody who is a racist. Thats crazy. Im not concerned with who trump dated. Im concerned with what policy he implements that implements negatively and people of color in the country. So ways of the heart have a way to go wherever they want. But i think his policy so negatively impacts people of color makes one wonder. Are they being less thoughtful than you are right now . Theyre just throwing it out there is a bond to say is probably racist and it provokes people. When he side with the alts wrong, you raise a question yourself. So when you try to split the difference so the people that propose that when you say david duke supports you and you dont even know who david duke is. What is it make you think . I look at this and i think the longer the left stays on this conversation of race and monuments in the presence choices of their cannot lose more elections going forward. Thats what steve bannon said they got him fired. I think the president had a big staff problem. He did not he was not quick enough to do not the kkk and nazis. On tuesday the bazaar press conference with him trying to win an argument. I think he needs to be better, the staff needs to be better. Steve bannon who many consider to be sympathetic to white nationalists is going to be a step forward. Think general kellys going to clean house, Kellyanne Conways going to come in to make sure this country is back on track. Bannon out . New jersey senator, corey booker who wants to legalize marijuana at the federal level and he is citing examples of study that he says show that it states that of legalize marijuana, opiate Overdose Deaths are actually down. Seems like theres more to the story. Lets start with details from ashley johnson. The push to legalize marijuana throughout the country could have a surprising connection to the heroin epidemic ripping families apart in new jersey. Senator corey booker believes that marijuana can help combat the opiate crisis. What we know from states that have already legalize marijuana . We see plymouth larry data that opiate related deaths go down. Bookers referring to medical strategy known as harm reduction. Harm reduction is the philosophy that some ways of doing drugs are safer than others. So the idea that we could use a medicine that is the drive from cannabis that is not addictive like opiates, it would be a win for everyone. This is not been scientifically proven. Opponents call it hypocritical saying isnt the whole point of rehab to get an addict off of drugs not onto another question could marijuana help the opiate crisis plague in this country, or is it dangerous . Tweet me at the show at chasing a. I want to bring our panel, welcome. Were joined by wayne smith. When, you know about local politics welcome back. In your member of county government in the area were some of the highest opiate deaths we are seen in new jersey. And Jeanette Hoffman is a stay wipe local strategists. Great heavy here. You know corey booker. When you were mayor he was the mayor. He served in a group with you. Whats your take . I think senator booker is opening the conversation theyll be hearings. On more for decriminalization. I dont think young person with a small quantity of marijuana their life should be ruined and have a criminal record. Isnt this just the track record of corey booker . This is his mode of operations, he grabs headline and has been doing it since before he was mayor. This bill doesnt stand a chance. The alcohol industry, beer and wine lobbyists are too powerful and the pharmaceutical industry. You are in the heart of the problem. New jersey overall has three times the opiate deaths compared to the rest of the country. There are kids dying every week in our state. How does this help . I dont think it helps at all. Im also a first date for my home first aid squad. We answer overdose calls once a week. I dont think this is going to make a change. I agree in a sense decriminalizing it if you have a small amount, why Brian Simmons record. But it is a gateway drug. Opening a dialogue is one thing but this is opening the floodgate. Weve heard phil murphy say he wants to legalize it. I think it is a terrible idea especially in the mix of an opiate crisis. How do we tell her kids, dont to heroin but maybe this drug is okay. Are these good or bad headlines for him if he wants run for president 2020 . Hes opening for debate. Thoughtful, intellectual debate is good for democracy. Corey is an intellectual, he brings ideas to the table. Theyll be shaped by what we think is integrated good. We could debate corey bookers statement all day long. Tweet mia at bill spadea and tweet me at the show at chasing news. His corey booker just grabbed another headline to launch his president ial campaign in 2020 . Here are the headlines were chasing. The entire membership of the president ial committee on the arts and humanities including Actor Kal Penn has resigned. Sixteen and 17 Committee Members cited trons comments blaming both sides of for the deadly violence last weekend. The resignation comes after the Business Council following similar resignations. Present trump left his golf retreat to meet with others that came david. It will focus on national security, the border, the military. The u. S. Lawsuit says that nestles springs is just Common Ground water. Nestles water north america as bottling water that doesnt meet the fda definition of spring water. His is the labels are deceptive. A Company Spokesman says the regulations made all the definitions. The Solar Eclipses, and our way. W welcome back to jasons. I am bill spadea. We have a story about astrology and an eclipse. As you know, on monday big Solar Eclipses coming our way. One astrologer says this spells doom for donald trump. Alex, what are the details . The Great American eclipses on monday when the moon will block the sun for several minutes in a path visible across the United States. The new York Metro Area we should see 75 eclipse, weather permitting. Eclipses throughout history were believed to herald significant events. At least one astrologer says this is the beginning of the end of President Trumps administration. Astrology astrologers compare the zodiac signs to form a chart to compare against past events. Every 18 years and ten or 11 days, we have a repeat of the same kind of eclipse path that happens. The last 18 years have not been a good ones for United States president. In 1999, president bill clinton was impeached. In 1981, regular shot. And 63, jfk was assassinated, and in 1945, fdr died in office. What does this mean for resident trump . I do not think you will be president next year. Im just thinking it will be a removal from office. When im not sure on his it will be him personally stepping up, theres a lot of symbolism in the modern version of the mutiny is behind closed doors, forced resignation. He said this will not happen right away, he sees things heating up for trump starting this fall. Lets just think this wade was a few astrologers to predict a Trump Victory last year. Thank you alex. I want to bring in that panel, wayne, jeanette, thanks for sticking around. Is this end of days for the Trump Administration . Maybe donna should wear a tinfoil hat on monday and protect himself. I think it is the silliest thing. I know he predicts everet others and other bad things happen to president s. He did predict the Trump Victory. I am not putting my stake in astrology when it comes to be in a political commentator. Look, its going to be an interesting eclipse. I dont think it means anything. Its funny, i read one astrologer said its amazing he used fire and fury because thats what his chart shows. Thats ridiculous. So you go back to the Ronald Reagan years in the white house, nancy reagan, the leader in astrology, people mocked and made fun of it. Im fully expecting democratic talking heads to say, there could be merit here. I agree with jeanette terms of looking at astrology for prediction on a political future. I will say, i hope hes right. [laughter] and, it also predicted his election and says something is going to happen, either he will not be reelected or theres an intervention in his presidency. So, they kind of agree. With the pollster. They were really right when they predicted hillary president. Ill take that one on. Just to check your credibility on this, do check every morning to see what your sinus, to see what your days like . I am in aries, and red is my collacolor. I am too. Thats why get along so well. Beyond that, i think its junk science. I have a lot of fun with it in the morning. Sometimes all tweeted out to my friends and say be careful. But its silly. I dont believe it but im a bullheaded torus. So whatever they say im going to do my thing anyway. [laughter] thank you. Thats great. Its always good heavy. Remember, im sure you saw a lot on the show tonight. You love, you hated, you agreed with, disagreed with, tweet me at bill spadea you. Tweet the show at chasing news. I want to check in with new jersey one 101. 5 to talk about the weekend weather. It could be a great one. First, the Solar Eclipse coming monday night, what he got . Monday afternoon, bill. Monday afternoon. Monday afternoon how . You can have a clips and i because you need the sun to have an eclipse. I get it. That will replay on facebook and twitter endlessly. You are welcome everyone. Go ahead dan. A total eclipse of the sun happening for part of the continental United States for the first time in a long time. Here, well not enter that totality. Only a 70 80 eclipse of the sun. It will happen monday afternoon starting around 1 20 p. M. By 2 45 p. M. , it will be the darkest at around 4 00 p. M. The sun will be shining again and it will be over. A truly amazing display. You have to keep safety in mind. If you dont have eclipse glasses, you dont want to be staring into the sun. That will make for bedtime. What are the eclipse glasses . I heard aaa put out a warning telling people they should not drive with them all. I think if you need that Public Service announcement, you probably should not have a license. Or at least you should not have eclipse glasses for that matter. Theyre very, very dark. Youre not going to see anything unless youre looking at the sun. It filters out a lot of light. On a regular day you dont want to start the sun, on a Solar Eclipse you really need the solar filter protection. Is a going to be dark . Is going to look like dust . It will look like darker but not dark as night and maybe have seen in the movies. You have to go to about South Carolina for that. We are not in the darkest part of the shadow called the on brown. When the pen number him as the moon cast a shadow. Weekend weather. The weekend weather looks great. It was a steamy and stormy friday. All of the junk is clearing out tonight. A drop in the humidity levels as we get into the weekend. We start up saturday morning with temperatures in the lower 70s. Still sticky out there. Humidity levels will continue to go down. Highs on saturday, a little warm, upper 80s to around 90 degrees. We go from clouds to son. It should turn into a nice summer day. Sunday is good as well. Mostly sunny, mid to upper 80s. If you have been craving nice summertime whether you have it this weekend. For the eclipse on monday, there will be clouds in the sky. Partly to mostly cloudy area and i dont think it will get in the way of you enjoying the eclipse. Dont expect a perfectly blue sky. Thanks. Heres a look at the headlines where chasing. A california man is among the 13 People Killed in the barcelona tax. Heidi and gerrit who were on their honeymoon had gone off in Different Directions when a car plowed into a crowd. Isis has claimed responsibility for the attack. A texas trainer is teaching her docs to sniff out cancer. Cancer actually has an older. For the past 12 years, the nonprofit group, canine academy has train dogs for Cancer Detection studies. The Harlem Globetrotters are at it again. This time showing off their tricks in the pool. Five of the famous hoopster surprised a group of tourist at the nassau in an wildwood new jersey. [applause] thats a look at headlines where chasing today. What is this but here in the docs not fishing . The atlantic state police Fishery Commission says its summer flounder is overfished with a population 42 below levels. We have a story about fishermen and what happens when they are not allowed to fish. Thanks big government. We campaign our bill welcome back to jasons. I am bill spadea. We have a story about fishermen, and what happens when they are not allowed to fish. Thanks big government. Brian, what he got . Wisest boat on the docs and belford, and commercial fishing boats sitting here . Tied up and not fishing . Why do the fishermen hope that President Trump might do something about it . The boats art dr. Because of the states a summer flounder fishery was shut down on july 15. Two weeks into an eight week Summer Season when the state fishermen met the federal court for the popular species summer flounder. It keeps getting smaller and smaller and could soon put them out of business altogether. Eight years ago were supposed to be outpatient and everybody would be working. Now everybody is tied up. We cannot pay our bills. There is no future here. If President Trump doesnt step in to do something, we are out of business. In order to keep the market start, the market manager drives his the pickup to the market every day and buys fish to sell. Was normally filled with fish where we are standing. Four boxes high. The atlantic state fishermen said they are necessary because summer flounder is over overfished with a population 42 below sustainable levels. If it drops much further the fishery will be wiped out altogether and this operation will be gone. The fishermen here say the sciences often there are more fluke than they have ever seen. I believe in conservation and a lot of the stuff they do. They go beyond, they dont know what to stop. I understand that people feel like they are seeing a lot of founder out there. They may in fact see a lot of summer flounder. In terms of actually evaluating the information we get on the surveys, they are showing a very different story. Fishing at a higher level than a resource can sustain. In an unprecedented move, President Trumps commerce secretary rejected the commissions proposal to put tighter limits on the recreational fluke fishery in new jersey. In the commercial fishermen here and up and down the coast are hoping that they will do the same for them. Until then. It is quite on the docks. Tweet me at brian or the show at chasing news. Thanks brian. Hope you enjoyed the show tonight. I hope you enjoyed the show the past week. Our format has changed slightly. We hope you like it. Let us know what you think and weigh in on the stories. Tweet me a bill spadea or tweet the show at chasing news. Have a great weekend. Enjoy the eclipse. We will see you monday night.
