Too busy losing their minds over twitter and facebook for refusal to promote the hunter biden laptop scandal which lets be honest is basically the republican version of the steel dossier except rather than p. Tapes its crack pipes and g. Q. Style bathtub shots the democrats on the committee readily feasted on the tall tales put forward on the dangers of fake news and this information by a court of experts quote unquote featuring former cia agent turned fake news guru cindy otis and the Wilson Centers this information fellow mena jan quits. Im sorry what in the hell is a distant permission fellow how do you become a distance or information fellow. These are good questions but none of those were asked anyway while the committee batted 6 around ludicrous ideas like flooding q. And on sites with even crazier conspiracies to upset their already crazy conspiracies one of the biggest nods of agreement seemed to come from the idea of forming a new Government Agency yes this new Government Agency that essentially would be on behalf of the public making the rules subject to legislative authority as opposed to having the delegate that delegated to tech giants yes we need a new Information Agency a truth agency if you will because you know weve had so much success with other orwellian title agencies here in the United States like the department of Homeland Security and you know the National Security agency. I think its time we start watching dogs. Whats going on in a city streets. That are so slick. As this you always state see a. Great city desolate systemic deception is just like so much. So youll. I welcome everyone watching the entire row and im of the. Well you know its interesting admission when we look at all this because you know what i mean. I dont think we need another another agency in this time and place realistically i mean come on weve already seen so many horror shows come out of the n. S. A. And other agencies do we really need now an Information Agency to fight fake news but i agree with you 100 percent i also can use this to the point of an information to our december mation agency. They can use in the context that weve seen from the Trump Administration and his interesting bedfellows has been news that they just dont agree with so it isnt like there is this widespread amount of. This is it not integrity in terms of journalism thats out there what were seeing is people dig into the Top Administration the Trump Campaign and him be upset about it being called everything fake news even if we did have lets say in some alternate universe they were just all of the lies that journalists are putting out regularly im not convinced that a Government Agency ways to figure this whole thing out would be helpful considering what you said earlier the lack of actual you know process is in place with the Government Agencies we currently have specifically many of which that were designed to help investigate certain things and one shot with human rights and other things exactly and you know one of the problems too with that is is whatever you you know it might sound like a good idea oh we can create this Government Agency and it can it can and for space books or rules or twitter or who and what is good information in the public at all that the problem that youre into there is what happens if for the democrats theyre all fighting and saying who we need this weve got a fight q and on and things like that ok thats great and lets say joe biden wins and then joe biden controls the information out of the government and everything that happens is controlled by them what happens when the republican men whims 4 years later and. And suddenly all that control goes back to the republicans and its the republicans telling you know appointing the head of that agency and that agency then deciding who and what is or is not real i mean thats where the real danger comes and some of the great quotes to come out of this though by the way which i thought were kind of funny was needed to get in the distant from a certain expert which i think is one of the greatest jobs jobs one could ever get the world insider told the committee 19 days before voting closes in the 2020 election i believe were more vulnerable to online dissin from ation from both foreign and domestic sources than ever before you know one of the things that gets me about these committees when they talk about fake news and this information is the infantilizing of the us voter that you get this sense that youre so stupid that you cant tell whats truth from fiction so we need to do it for you as your parents i agree with that the other thing is essentially government waste the fact that we can sit around the considerably and always seemed to create these random agencies out of nowhere which are essentially just like 8 just like working groups and you know how whenever something goes wrong people at a working group and a few folks names and the idea is all of us that met wrong gets illuminated and disappears that doesnt work with working groups and it sure as heck doesnt work we add random agencies that we dont need thats a good point and one of the other things they were brought up in this in this kind of compromise hearing was a they were open to the plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer by a Militia Group jack which pointed out that social media platforms played a huge role in allowing that group to organize it ceded the information that led them to organize and it it most likely did know and weve seen that over and over again but look lets be honest paramilitary were groups have been hatching violent plots in this country long before facebook and twitter ever existed so you know and plus when you talk about how they caught these guys they caught them through social media so you cant have it both ways like you need social media so you can root out these people that will inflict danger and these people that could act. Really hurt people and do that but at the same time you cannot censor the 1st amendment just because it just because people are out there saying things you dont like you know i agree with you 100 percent so you know we knew Militia Groups existed during the prohibition era this is nothing new there are always groups that are designed to protect their own self interest or the self interests of gangs drugs and people who have bad intentions that doesnt necessarily mean that you need to get rid of social media social media has been a tracking mechanism for the f. B. I. In a lot of other Law Enforcement organizations while at this point and without it you have a pretty hard time trying to track the steps of these individuals as as tragic as this may be to some people here always remember the 1st amendment is there to protect unpopular speech not just popular speech. Chicago is a city that has become a punch line for republicans President Trump cant keep the dime of the midwest out of his mouth the nations 3rd largest city is no stranger to headlines about violence black lives matter the citys massive wealth wealth gap or Police Brutality and chicago has a well documented history of Police Abuses and large taxpayer payouts to the tune of 113000000 dollars and 2018 alone a Community Working group was formed as a watchdog to the police as well as a guide for more Community Focused policing but sadly that seemed to be more performant to politics though the Community Group proposed a total of 155 changes designed to update the Chicago Police departments rules on when to use force only 5 of the changes were accepted. The 34 member group included activists civil rights leaders and politicians who met weekly since june all of that were essentially what the working Group Members are now calling a sham process. A working group member and black lives matter organizer said quote i am in no way satisfied the spirit of what the working group tried to come up with is that police should have a stronger duty in the average chicago and not to hurt people to not shoot people and to not be. Part of the issue c. P. D. Use executive Steering Committee its made of mostly Senior Leadership in the Police Department itself expecting officers to police themselves has proven to fail tactic time and time again and in this case c. P. D. Only accepted technical changes in language they ignored every reform on excessive use of force though this is gravely disappointing there is a glimmer of hope on the criminal Justice Reform front in chicago cook county states attorney box a democrat who ran on a reformist policy agenda started expunging 1200 hot convictions despite coburn 1000 delays in so doing she delivered one of the most poignant statements quote as prosecutors we need to own the role the flip them has played on the failed war on drugs causing disproportionate harm to black and brown communities who are convicted of low level cannabis offenses. While that is about as a credible statement especially here that for a prosecutor exactly wow that is incredible but i want to get back to what youre talking about what you brought up about the Police Reforms and all that i mean all we heard was hey we need to let the community in and the police and then theyll get together everyone else come up with a new way of policing what a great change is theyre all going to turn on it said and its not how much. What we hear is talks and talks with Community Groups and its one of the 1st things that is noted when we see you know the protesting in the streets when the 1st things that the conversation point goes to is we need Community Groups we need more commune. We employ in policing and at the end of the day we see these the 1000000000 action groups and we see these Community Work groups form that are supposed to help police to be able to understand and create the types of reforms necessary to reduce Police Brutality we get cases like chicagos where theyve developed and theyve had conversation theyve met for hours on hours weekly for months now and you get absolutely nothing out of 155 points of interest of changes you come out with literally by changes of vocabulary wow thats incredible but i mean thats just it just hurts so its like hey were just going to stick this knife and twist a little bit older forms you guys are talking about i mean look the consent to group supposed to be to place a legal burden on the Chicago Police department not only to work with the community but to actually accomplish these forms clearly with you only get 53430 thats a failure what message is that something it basically says that we dont care about you your reforms do not matter were just window dressing showcasing something to check off a box the consent decrees whole point was that there would be legal action and repr cautions that force the Police Department to not only ensure that a group of organized Community Citizens were elevated to push these reforms but also that the Police Department would actually take these into consideration what weve seen is that none of that actually happened the actual Community Group did all the effort they were meeting for 4 to 6 hours a week since june they had you know Community Activists they have politicians they had pastors they had a wide array of people from the communities that were hit the hardest to actually meet conversed about the changes that needed to be done from a Community Perspective and yet again top brass because these were Chicago PoliceDepartment Executive leaders pushed back against every one of them with the exception of 5 book have a larry changes. But one thing as you mentioned to that to is a little bit about life at the end of the tunnel was kim far as doing and thats incredible but it also brings up an interesting issue because a lot you were seeing a lot. Reform when it comes to the legality of marijuana on the sales of marijuana in this country but theres a lot of kind of like great will make some money off this all the state governments like we can make billions but theyre also forgetting about all of those poor souls were busted on pot convictions were languishing away in prison right now absolutely and but the thing that pressurise me the most being a chicago and being a resident of illinois is that i watched a governor come in you know change in leadership hour and a half ago at this point who decided that he was going to be a reformist when it came to ensuring that everyone had access to really and in so doing and largely to your point a 2nd ago it was because the state is in dire need of a cash flow because theyre broke as all get out in so doing he did not Pay Attention only to the hundreds of thousands of people whove been incarcerated in the state over the past 4 decades on marijuana convictions many of which you have since been released but cannot find a job or housing anywhere in the city because of these convictions that is whats truly truly breaks my heart so its nice to see in that box office you know step forward and expose these 300 part convictions so these people could get jobs potentially in the industry that they got thrown in jail for in the 1st place because i mean my logical but if you got thrown in you must know some about it lets go work now that is legal weve still got a loan way to go before people whove been convicted on bellamy of can actually get jobs in a pot and its called reform its called reform all right as we go as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand for the brand new portable t. V. Which is now available on all platforms would definitely check it out coming up we talk the latest covert treatments on the controversy surrounding the environmental lawyer Robert Kennedy jr stay tuned to watch.

For President Donald Trump pushing lysol and how drugs are chloroquine into the guy on the corner pushing incense and holy water since the onset of the covert 19 pandemic the now long suffering public has had more american cures fixes and treatments sold to them than we can even begin to count and tragically more bad news came this week after one of the worlds biggest trials of covert 19 therapies featuring 4 of the most highly touted potential treatments including said laura quinn and rem disappear was finally released to a resoundingly bud Science Magazine reports that the World Health Organization study found that none of the 4 treatments in the solidarity trial which unrolled more than 11000 patients and 400 hospitals around the grow increase are viable not even the much touted antiviral drug does best of beer and while treatment has gotten somewhat better since the early days of the pandemic especially for the likes of Chris Christie and donald trump news like this leaves many of us wondering when will medical science and our leaders get ahold of this deadly disease and if we do get a hold of it through a vaccine or breakthrough treatment how do we keep those potential lifesaving drugs drugs from getting bottled up in the greed of the pharmaceutical companies and the partisan. The washington joining us now to discuss this Public Health come under him is the environmentalist and founder and chairman of childrens hope the funds Robert Kennedy jr robert thank you so much always a pleasure having me on the show.
