Crew this week on the streets of San Francisco. A terrifying holdup caught on camera with our employees in the middle of it. Youll hear the story but first, here is the most porcht thinimportant thing abouz letter and the argument. It was actually made by tom perez, chair of the dnc, quote, we cant let them undermine our Justice System to serve their partisan political interests. No one is above the law. Dead right. But that includes the democrats and it includes the fbi. And the security services. Our government is supposed to be accountable to us through our elected representatives. They have to be able to question every part and every action of the federal government at any time. But the democrats accuse republicans who are doing just that of playing politics while theyre standing up for democracy, as if the democrats arent playing politics. Just look at the smug pompous adam schiff. For him the road to the democratic nomination, yes, he is really planning to run in 2020, leads through moscow and the russian conspiracy that he shamelessly used to build his profile. But trump hatred is turning democrats brains and value to mush by denouncing any efforts to reduce low wage immigration as white nationalism, theyve become the stooges of big business. By building up russia and turning a blind eye to china, theyre the stooges of xi jinping. And now, theyve become the stooges of the surveillance state. The security bureaucracy is up in arms about the idea that anyone should question the fbi or the justice department. Of course thats what the insiders would say. They want to protect their power. They dont want outsiders interfering in their cozy little world. But that was the whole point of the 2016 election, to disrupt the insiders cozy little world, to disrupt the snooty self serving elite. No wonder they resist. No wonder theyre trying to crush donald trump. He represents a noter l threat to their interests and their way of life. Of course they dress up their resistance in high minded rhetoric about protecting democratic norms. But in reality its they, the insiders who are undermining the democratic norms by subverting the very core of our democratic process, the idea that elections should actually change things. That we the people should be in charge through the representatives that we elect. The ruling party in washington has a different idea. Not we the people but you the people rule by we the elite. And i know from experience in the end, there is only one way to curv curb the power of this establishment and that is to cut it down to size radically, drastically, irreversibly, to take power and resources away from washington and put anytime the hands of the people, in the states and in our local communities. That is the next revolution we need. Please tell me what you think. Follow us on twitter and have your say. Now lets see what Tonights Panel thinks. Joining me now were sere ris xm host, tha, and senior contributt red state, kyra davis, and look at this, its so exciting with us from new york its k. G. , cohost of the five. Im going to come out there soon. I promise. Steve i think youre coming out soon but were thrilled to have you. Im going to start with you since youre the furthest away. I want to talk about this issue of the knew new nunez and the r. I dont want to get bogged down in russia. Weve had a lot of conversation around that. I want to talk act the principle. Its not only okay but really important fo for congress to investigate whats going on inside federal agencies like the fbi and the justice department. Thats not disloyal or unpatriotic. Its called to our democracy. I think its truly patriotic to make sure that we have the checks and balances, that you have some oversight. Can you imagine if we did not . This is really Proof Positive that you need to be able to have the ability and the resources to examine and identify, especially as it relates to key issues like this that involved national security, american politics, our election system. What we learned in this is very significant, that yes, we love the men and women that serve in the fbi and serve in these agencies theyre hardworking. The majority are fantastic. But in any organization youre going to find a few people that perhaps need to be rooted out thats what weve seen here. They had a political agenda that really circumvented them being authentic, genuine integrity and having the character to do the job in an honest way instead of rooting for a specific outcome in trying to undermine our system of democracy. So we really saw that this was government at work in a sense that we had the congressional oversight to make sure that we can prevent, identify and prevent these abuses from happening in the future. Steve and just one last point. Dont you think its kind of overdue, actually. Its been i think for too long theres been an assumption that because of course we all admire the bravery of the individual men and women who put their self in harms way on our behalf. That we kind of let them get away with things that actually have been, you know, really bad and that their scrutiny is overdue. Well the scrutiny is overdue because for so long theres been a presumption that they are all mighty and above and beyond any kind of reproach. And what we saw here is there really is a key need here thats integral to the whole process to be able to have the oversight and be able to ask the important questions and have the access. Nobody wins if there isnt transparency and thats important. You have to examine both sides of the issue. You have to deep dive beneath it to make sure that there is veracity to support documents like this. Can you imagine i mean, this was to the highest level in terms of the presidency of the United States. And a concerted effort to try to undermine an American Election and that is really something that cannot go unnoticed or not discussed. Steve i think thats really the heart of this. But, i suspect you disagree. Are you comfortable ending up. A little bit. Steve defending the cia and nsa, are you comfortable with that position that youre in lock step . I think you know im procivil liberties. But the situation here is lets just be frank. President trump does not want the eyes on the investigation into his office. Theres multiple investigations, senate investigation, congressional investigation, the fbi was investigating him and now he is treating another investigation of the fbi to discount the investigation of himself. The truth is that you did have carter page who had been a Russian Energy he whruz was investing in russian agencies. The truth is george pop lop louse has pled guilty to lying to if ib if which is part of an existing investigation. This is politics at its best. Called distract. What was once a bipartisan investigation is now a partisan investigation and frankly its not a memo, not a legal document. Its ap oped. Thats all it is. Its to distract. Nothing official. He say its partisan. You get sources that are politically motivated but you get multiple sources. There have been three rounds of extensions of the fisa extensions and there are multiple sources that theyve admitted. Steve i think ill let you speak to this. From the president s point of view, the whole thing was originally patted down and politically motivated because its trying to undermine the election results. But thats what it is all around. Right. And i think this whole issue of like this is just another distraction, i mean, this is all weve had since election day on the part of the democrats. Its just they are the ones who are putting distraction after distraction out there. I dont see why President Trump shouldnt have the right to answer the charges that are being made against him, especially if he feels that there was some partisan sentiment going on. And i think its fair to remind the American People that the people that work in our government and serve at the highest levels are People Like Us and they all have their biases and they all have their hopes and wishes and dreams. And just like you would do if you felt very pins. Ed in a job that you were in, they feel they might feel that they should use their position to influence the politics of the day. And i dont think its wrong to say we need to root those people out, remind them that their loyalty is towards the American People, not towards their ideology. Steve it is worth saying. There have been other democrats like senator Bernie Sanders fighting to get medicare for all, something that could transform the lives of everyone watching the show. Theres been an excessive focus on it. The fbi was investigating an alleged crime. And both centers of power accountable, both the executive and the fbi. But you know, there are people fighting for things that ra ellie important to the people who voted for President Trump and the people who voted for Hillary Clinton that would really transform i mean the state of the union, specific things before that that would be transformational and democrats could care less. Last word to you, kimberly, on the topic. What do you make of all of that . Anybody who cares about this country and is a patriot, we want the truth. We dont want someone affecting whos in the oval office by presenting a false narrative and false fact to a judge in order to obtain an illegal warrant. This is so important and so key on so many levels. You cannot say its just a distraction, the president wants to distract. No everybody could care about this. The outrageous behavior that happened here should offend every american regardless of political persuasion. Steve i agree. I just dont feel in this current climate were goings to end up in that happy place. The mt. And his supporters say that its its biggest enemy. So is the deep state real . Swamp watch investigates and you cant miss what we found. And next, our own next revolution camera crew robbed at gunpoint in a daring daylight holdup. Anita vogel is here with the story that hits close to home with all of us here, straight ahead after the break. Uh i used to be spellbound hello again. Steve welcome back to the next revolution. This week our own anita vogel and tom whitaker were covering a story in San Francisco when they actually became the story. Look at this. Shocking Surveillance Video captured tom robbed with a gun pointed to his head while he and anita were shooting this weeks story in broad daylight. Anita is here with me now just to talk about this, which must have just been absolutely terrifying. I couldnt believe it when i saw it. I was unbelievable. It was something we didnt expect to happen. We knew that we were going into a troubled neighborhood. So we had hired Armed Security to be with us. And the first question i asked the security was, are you armed, and they said they were and that made me feel a little better. But still, we just never anticipated what would happen. Essentially you see right there, thats whats happening. The photographer and the Security Guard were out in front of the building shooting some exteriors of the building. And all of the sudden a card pulled up, they jumped out, threw the Security Guard to the ground, held hi photographer at gunpoint and demanded the camera. And of course he gave it over. Steve its just incredible how quickly it happened . It happened in seven seconds. Steve absolutely incredible. Obviously were so relieved that you are okay, all three of you are okay. But you know, this is you know, unfortunately a reality for many people. I mean youve got it on camera here and its affected us here. But this is what a lot of people experience in their neighborhood. They do. This has been going on throughout San Francisco, these thugs targeting media crews and stealing their cameras. Thats happening throughout San Francisco. And one of the more shocking things is when the Police Responded it was a Wonderful Police response by the way. They said, even if we catch this guy and charge him with armed robbery, the best we can hope to get is maybe probation. And i have to say, i was just shocked at that. Steve we need kimberlys take on that. Maybe we can get that later. Thats what he used to do in San Francisco. Thaidgesthanks, anita. Glad youre okay, tom whitaker. Its an important point. If anyone at home recognizes the man or the car, or if you know anything about the events of that day, call San Francisco police. That is the number on your screen right now. Lets get back to why you were there in San Francisco to begin with. Its a really important story and a topic i feel very very sphronglstrongly about. Many experts believe that the environment in which a child is raised in one of is leading factors in determining what sort of adult they become and thats the story that anita is going to bring us now. This is one of the poorest most underserved neighborhoods in San Francisco. For many years it had one pediatrician for every 10,000 kids. At least until dr. Nadine berk harris opened shop in 2007. Hi. How are you . Most of the kids i was seeing had experienced such severe trauma that it felt like something wells was going on. She soon began to realize her young patients were getting sick from the toxic stress of problems at home violence, drug addicted parents and in some cases sexual abuse. Folks who are exposed in high doses have triple the risk of Heart Disease and lung cancer and a 20year difference in life expectancy. Decades earlier this same findings were documented in a land mark study called the Adverse Childhood Experience study. The original coauthor stumbled upon a link between childhood trauma and serious illness when a patient in an obesity clinic revealed she had been sexually abused as a child. I started inquiring about childhood sexual abuse routinely in the program a couple of weeks later and i couldnt believe that every other person i was asking was acknowledging such a history. And you know, i mean, cant be. You know, people would know if this were true. So the doctor developed an ace questionnaire for a study with more than 17,000 candidates. It coveredded ten topics ranging from divorce to having a Family Member in prison. The more aces the person had, the greater the chance for Serious Health problem. This opened the eyes of a lot of people in the medical industry. It made us consider social factors. This is treatable. Dr. Berk harris continues to talk about the ace study. She screens all of her patients with an ace questionnaire and hopes one day every pediatrician will be done the same. Steve joining me you, dr. Nadine berk harris. Im so thrilled that youre here and we get a chance to talk about this. In a way, this is everything when it comes to the social problems that we cover on this show, people experience in their lives. Tell us what your what youre really working towards. What you would like to see happen based on this work. What we understand, steve, is that earlier adversity profoundly impacts the way our bodies work. And can lead to dramatically increased risk of lots of Different Health problems later on down the line. But this is preventable. All of the researcher shows th n weapon do Early Intervention we can improve outcome. But unfortunately today only 4 of the pediatricians in the United States are screening for Adverse Childhood Experiences and that is something that i am on a mission to change. Steve so the idea is that if you can some people might be watching say, isnt it kind of obvious . Cant you just tell that people, that family es and children are experiencing this Adverse Childhood Experiences in a home and in their communities, isnt it kind of obvious . Why do you need this process . Absolutely not. The whole point is Adverse Childhood Experiences happen in every community, it happens to all of us. The original study was done in a community that was 70 caucasian, 70 college educated. And in the deepest well i tell the story of a dear friend of mine who was very generous with her story. Shes the head of a major Silicon Valley company and yet she had toxic stress happening in her own home. This is not something that you can necessarily tell by looking. It is critical that we actually screen. So if you find out through screening and if you get your wish that this becomes common place so you can tell, this is a family, this is a child who is experiencing this, what next . How does that help change the trajectory of that persons life . Theres so much that we can do. And one of the things that we that the research shows, that we know, is that number one, these approaches need to be twogeneration approaches. We need to support both the child and their caregiver. Because most often histories of adversity are handed down from one generation to the next to the next. We have an Incredible Opportunity to break that intergenerational cycle. And the science shows us that there are things that we can do to get to the root cause, which is an overactive stress response. So things like nutrition, mindfulness, like meditation, good oldfashioned Mental Health. All of these things help to calm the stress response, reduce stress hormones, reduce inflammation. Steve and the other thing i think is interesting about this, and we can talk about this with the panel in a second, a actually politically speaking it brings together theres not a partisan story here. There are all sorts of things that everyone agrees with, brings up the importance of stable families and raising children in a stable loving home which is something that conservatives can really get behind. Thats whats optimistic about this work. If you s
