Jails and prisons. We have some 3000 kids who have been sentenced to die in prison. What is a country like america doing when it sends 13yearold and 14 your children to die in prison . The United States and somalia are the only two countries in the world that have not signed the covenant on the rights of the child. We will not sign it because of prevents the death penalty. We ought to be ashamed. It becomes necessary for us to demand something more hopeful from our government than that they just throw kids away. We build these schoolhouse to jailhouse pipelines. Weve got to demand more. We have to do it with that kind of hope that all of these revolutionary leaders its not pie in the sky stuff. The kind of folk you need to create just is an orientation of the spirit. We need hopeful people to go to those hopeless places and be a witness. Yes. My favorite story in this book is when we were finally had all this it was finally time to go to court. The black community is so demoralized by
Important issue, but it does have tentacles that extend to the economy, the health care, all of those in the top five. So we started this evening with a story out of california that could be a sign of things to come. A historic bill to consider reparations for black americans. The first of its kind in any state in the country and it was signed yesterday by governor gavin newsom. It will begin to grapple with questions of how would you pay reparations and who would be entitled to them since the last living slave and america died in the 1970s. 1850 is a free state. Heres governor newsom. This is not just about california. Its about making an impact across the rest of the country. Martha so at least three other places in the country have already taken up reparations on a local level. Asheville, north carolina, providence, rhode island, has a plan and evidenced it illinois where what they are going to do tax revenue from newly Legal Marijuana sales. Reparations also get attention, as you m
Mixed in with Illegal Immigrants surges, but the number of federal stay the same. Thats why we have this official from a union with 12,000 immigration and Service Officers telling people to call their congressman if they want to prevent threats in their own neighborhood. The abuse of our asylum procedure, islamist radicals, the taxpayers are being fleeced and Public Safety is being breached on a daily basis. They claim the white house is not behind this plan but that they just watched the news, thought amnesty might, possibility and they wanted to have their bases covered. Bill what is the white house saying . Reporter they say its about an agency that ordered more paper than normal and they dont think its right for people to put together 2 and 2 that green cards means amnesty. They are responsible for issuing green cards. Those who are trying to read into those specific orders about what the president may decide are a little too cleverly trying to divine what the president s ultimate
Im martha maccallum. Mexican police in riot gear pushing some of the immigrants back across the border amid reports of tear gas and the rocks being thrown. And celebratory air horns blaring. The president says he will put a stop to all of this before it reaches the southern border suggesting this is nothing more than a political ploy 17 days before the midterm. President trump now we are starting to find out i wont say it 100 . I will put a little tiny question mark at the end. But a lot of money has been passing through people to try to come up and try to get to the border by election day. Because they think that is a negative for us. Number one, they are being stopped. Number two, regardless, that is a our issue. Martha our issue he said. And congressman suggested that idea and is facing heat and he is joining me now. Thank you for joining me. Thank you.

President trump i will sign a bill to open our government for three weeks until february 15. Martha to kick off the conversation, steve hilton, host of the next revolution i put that question to you. Youve been very supportive of this president and the Border Security, the wall has been central since day one. What happened today . I think that what he did today was make the right move. Because the big prize is getting that movement forward. On Border Security and immigration, that has eluded politicians of left and right for decades. Be clear about this issue, of immigration, which doesnt just mean the border, it means the whole system, has been broken for so long. Ing . That has been defeated in the swamp for decades.

Thats why he did the shotdown, forced attention on this issue, and even though today may look like a confession to some supporters, concession, in ma
