Neither stories have been able to garner much attention often the lack of coverage is just because these stories could be happening or about to happen and munity near you this is why on this weeks news news hughes at 360 of you we ask can bad behavior produce good results. Thank you for joining us i am starting now hughes and i have to be honest with you i am very concerned about what is happening in portland and why we cannot get any sort of resolution you know what to start is out of touch just what is going to bring us up to the latest Portland Police declare an Unlawful Assembly once again late thursday after signs of vandalism and burning down the neighborhood and now the democratic mayor is support. In the police using tear gas after a Police Building was set ablaze. Unrest continues in portland for the 74 straight day protesters being asked to clear the area late thursday. According to police the demonstrators the ties of rebar in the street damage to Police Vehicles but thursday may be considered mild after violators intended to set a Police Appeal on wednesday with people trapped inside exits were blocked security cameras disabled and accelerants were used to set and grow fires Authorities Say at least 20 officers were barricaded inside the mayor saying as far as hes concerned this is a tactical error i believe the city stuff could have died last month i cannot and i will not tolerate that this is not a peaceful protest there we are saying he supports the police using tear gas leak wednesday on the president s people for the beginning of this fire its the 1st time police have used it since he gets a chance and let the city this is not about men its not about black lives its not about. Justice its not about Police Reform its plan. Coordinated attacks on Police Officers some of us it was even saying the demonstrations are hurting the countrys progress i am half black and half white and the sad part is that im even having to say that because i think. Weve gotten so lost in the division of police versus black or black versus right or white versus minority that. It is just creating where division mayor will are saying he authorized the use of tear gas this week as the incident reached the threshold he and Governor Brown had already established reporting and. Mostly angeles and sweets are. Joining us now to discuss what these protests are accomplishing and why the groups involved cannot come to peace is ted harvey with committee to defend the president ted you know i have to start off by saying you just heard natasha as a package i have to think what the mayor what both mayor wheeler as well as the chief of police said isnt that the exact same thing that others maybe even in the white house have been saying for the past few weeks regarding the protest in portland wheres the outrage. And yes the president has been saying it for months and the democrats in washington d. C. Have been saying that the president is making all of this up you saw the congressman being questioned about this and they said it was just a myth this isnt really happening out there its a myth its just in washington d. C. But whats interesting is that mayor wheeler is now saying everything that republicans have been saying that this is coordinated this is well funded this is well orchestrated and who is doing it thats the question whos funding it and whos orchestrating it but one more point is that mayor wheeler has encouraged it because when this all started he was out there walking with these marxist agitators that were encouraging this and supporting it and he was saying this is all great lets continue to do this were going to give them space and were going to let them take over the town and now look what the fruits of his his rhetoric is the town is out of control and the police cant pick cant damper it down. Thats the thing ted you know last week nancy pelosi came out and basically called him stormtroopers an area the federal government that intervened so much pressure was even put on that i think the president pulled things back yet this is still going on granted you now at least have admitted by the mayor the chief a place that there is a problem but i thought everything was supposed to be peaceful once those federal government stormtroopers backed off. Well if you watched the bars testimony in Committee Last week he was pointing out the fact that they were going out there putting down these protests they were protecting the federal buildings because it is against the law to be attacking and burning down federal buildings and thats why there were federal agents there they were out there driving around the the city picking people up and there were rioting in other parts of the city thats what the mayors job is to do thats what the chief of police job is to do is to provide. Protection for the private property in the citizens in those cities and they have failed its been an abject failure in these cities all across the country and to say that the president is being out of control by putting federal troops in to protect federal buildings is is typical politics for nancy pelosi shes just trying to get brownie points and in her political rhetoric. Well i think that i mean politics are playing in here and you know ive seen this commercial republicans say that whats happening is truth of portland you know that democrats america however the reality of it this is trumps america is actually happening underneath President Trump you know i have to wonder right now from a political standpoint to feel like this is hurting the president s chances right now. Absolutely not this is not trumps problem trump is not a dictator he doesnt get to dictate what happens in states he doesnt get to dictate what happens in these municipalities thats thats their laws there those are the democrat elected mayors the democrat elected governors who are failing their constituents if you dont like what you have going on elections have consequences vote in the next election to put somebody else in their truck cant do anything about if you were to put troops in there i would be coming out against it if you were putting Police Officers on the streets there i would be coming against that thats not the role of the federal government so no trumps not going to get hurt and if you look at all of the polling gallup came out with a poll just this week that show that the majority of africanamericans do not want to defund the bullies in these cities because they realize that their protect those Police Officers are part providing protection for their businesses and their homes and their families so no i think they everybody understands where the real blame goes and its to these radical marxists that are storming the streets of america. Well youre right ted that has opened a lot of different conversations obvious about define the place but we also talk about. Taxpayer dollars going back and rebuilding these communities after youve seen and the protests we saw in minneapolis what do you think is going to happen when the smoke subdues do you think that the portland governments going to come to the federal government and say hey help us out we need to rebuild and how is the federal government going to respond. Well you looked at the minneapolis mayor saying please stay out of the state we dont want National Guard coming into the state do not try to help us do not do anything we can handle this and thats what happened in portland thats what happened in seattle do not bring in the National Guard and then what happens there is complete chaos and then in minneapolis they send the federal government a bill for 500000000. 00 after they said dont try to help us they want you and i we dont live in minneapolis we dont live in seattle we dont live in portland because of their failed leadership now they want to go to taxpayers all around the country and say bail us out thankfully President Trump said no were not going to fund any of the concert reconstruction in these cities you guys are the ones that created it you guys are the ones who are going to have to deal with this problem. Well thats the thing to having politicians say one thing but obvious there on election time just magically loopholes are found and more money is thrown at it do you think that the republicans who by the way right now are getting a very Bad Reputation because of their taxing and their spending that is happening just uncontrolled at this stage do you think you know that you know their heart strings ive been tied in at the last minute theyre going to think hey maybe we can pay off portland and get votes back in portland do you think theres going to be that sort of groundswell of support for portland on both side of the aisle. I dont know what votes the republicans are going to get in portland or seattle or minneapolis the those are pretty solid blue states i dont think the republicans are going to be too worried about that however the republicans are very worried about people being thrown out of their homes because their rent is not being paid because government shut down their businesses i think. That is a bigger deal that that republicans and democrats are going to have to deal with going into the election as they dont want their constituents being thrown out on the streets going into election day so i think that is where republicans and democrats are going to come together but i think that the democrats are going to hold the republicans hostage to that issue and the the these inner city issues that you were just talking about. Well before i let you go i want to take off your partisan hat could you wear it so well i have 50 but thats a good thing i think youve only i know that you believe it i want to actually as he was as a father as a husband in colorado you travel on country and you see the scenes in portland does that invoke fear in you to what could happen in your own Community Later on down the road if this is not actually contained and found some way to find some sort of peace with. Yes its not contained in colorado if you go down to the Colorado State capitol it has all over it our democrat governor Governor Polis is directly responsible for protecting the capitol and he has done nothing just 23 weeks ago 100 people took over the interstate interstate 2225 that goes through denver and aurora and they shut down the highway and when one of the drivers tried to bust through the protesters one of the protesters opened up fire and shot 2 of the other protesters while he was trying to shoot the guy on the car the driver of the car as he was speeding away this is dangerous stuff and its very concerning and i think all of us need to take it very seriously and all of us need to be preparing for it no matter what cities we live in. Ted i agree with you and i hope that we can attend peaceful solution for continues to grow because i said its happening in communities all around the u. S. Right now thank you for joining us.

Welcome back to the latest release of documents and they give free versus maxwell case Alan Dershowitz is named at least 86. 00 times now so is Prince Andrew boe burgess and George Mitchell glenn doman Marvin Minsky john luca burnell Steven Kaufman thomas preserve prince and hotel owner are also some of the names listed and i wanted to say them all because unfortunately theyre not being said very much in the Mainstream Media right now now these are all names that are included in the 2024 pages of the epstein documents yet despite the graphic descriptions and specifics listed the attention on what those pages have said has largely been ignored instead of leaving off major newscast with the developments it seems at the ever steen story is being turned into basically like short features you can download alongside your favorite streaming drama so joining us now to discuss his legal and media analysts online all of lionel media and Steve Malzberg host of eat the press seen right here on our to america thank you for joining me gentleman my pleasure. Great line i want to start off with you right now you know when we keep having this conversation weve had it for months now but it seems like over the past 2 weeks since these documents were released the only place that i am hearing about it just happened to be on social media and online and basically our team why are the Major Networks continuing to ignore this. One of the reasons i believe is that the subject matter of child sex predator nation is something they just dont want to touch let me add something and i think im noticing more and more im noticing is this we read stylizing if you will of glee match well even the president recently said something to the extent of well i wish your well wisher well and then we heard dershowitz from time to time sit well ive ive known her and i live by bob have we forgotten who she is now lets assume everybodys presumed innocent and im not going to say everything that was suggested is true history but but but scottie and steve i mean if 10 percent of what people are saying about her is true this is this is a she wolf this is this is the bread of her and now she did her social and shes a im mad im which would presume of their girlfriends why are they trying to clean up and burnish the image of this woman thats what i dont get. I agree with you on that and you know you brought up a name Alan Dershowitz and you know i Steve Malzberg tonight i need to press you had a conversation with Alan Dershowitz an end that you actually asked him and he kind of feels like does he feel like hes the target of all the media heres what he had to say in response to that question. The government apparently doesnt believe that because they didnt use her testimony or her alleged victims nation as part of the indictment and that weakens the indictment very considerably nobody should presume anybody guilty certainly not on the basis of pretty good for a cessna if the government has used her testimony and her evidence why is the media going with uncritically the media is deeply at fault here. Because the media ok they have all thought. Ok steve come on give us the give us the whole story here give us a little bit of. The whole interview is going to air tonight 6 30 pm eastern time and the press as you so graciously noted and basically what hes saying is that and hes right when you think about it. There was the only name you hear and you read all the names of most of the names but the only name youve heard bandied about in the media and put under scrutiny is Alan Dershowitz if you had any of the other names Bill RichardsonGeorge Mitchell and the list that you read and you have to ask yourself why and one of the things that dershowitz does bring up or i asked him about he agreed was his support of trump they dont like the fact that he spoke in defense of trump on the senate floor during the trial and that could add to it he claims hes been banned by c. N. N. He claims that theres a lot of misrepresentation hes got suits going against netflix and and c. B. S. So i mean he just feels that he says hes the only one fighting back which is true i havent seen any of the others who knew her name and thats why hes the said center of attention in the focal point. Ok steve i dont my have a brother out here and if you take i cant wait to say i say i want to do lionel on this and well i know help me out here after tell you he definitive maybe that forget about the trial connection you were the lawyer who defended this man and got this week r. T. O. Isnt bad enough to draw the skirting not to mention youre also mentioned in detail of the acts a james specifically did well that he did with these young underage girls and maybe thats why youre getting the attention what 1st of all to my brother in truth steve thats an excellent point number 2 remember you know ken starr is not mention he was a part of this deal as well hes not there but not in the mix but with all due respect my dear friend Alan Dershowitz went on t. V. And basically called you for a every name under the book and said to me i dare you and then get into the mix with david boies so unlike these others who have been perhaps smartly kind of in the background like were going to back out here will you talk about that later Alan Dershowitz all love as face it because thats why hes so affected doing what he is hes an electronic advocate he loves the press and frankly im not saying he brought this on himself but he became he boldfaced his involvement in this if you. But you know what line up to that point i have to ask you we have seen all these other names as steve mentioned why are there arrest to being made at this point when you actually have these affidavits i m
