that parable of the good samaritan that said everyone is our neighbor? i know in my race and that's just here in kentucky, that we saw every angry, nasty, scapegoating hate-based ad that you can ask for and what did we do, we pushed back with compassion and with empathy about standing up for the right things and we came out on top. my hope is that sets an example not just for other candidates of my party, but for candidates all over the country not to get into that type of mudslinging, anger and division, but how about this? how about you run on what you want to do for the people that you're going to serve? >> can you give me an example of what you're talking about specifically? i'm not trying to be cute here. i'm just wondering like what is an example of a race where this kind of hate and anger politics was used? because it sounds nice. i mean, look, one of the ways you won your race was with a
DO you still remember the pre-coronavirus pandemic traffic jams that turned EDSA into a hellscape? And the panicky response of the authorities, which was to issue a unilateral, numbers-free memorandum that ordered the ban of provincial buses in EDSA on the grounds they were the major source of the jams? The provincial buses that performed a critical mobility function — they ferried the 'promdi' and the overseas Filipino workers who returned home, among other things — were less than 5 percent of the total EDSA vehicle presence at any given time then, but nonetheless pinpointed as the main cause of the hellish jams. EDSA's problem was — and still is — private vehicles, but the authorities had no guts to rein in their use. So they looked for scapegoats and conveniently found them in provincial buses.
court decision that overturned the convictions of the scotts burrow boys. nine black teenagers and young men who were falsely accused of raping two white women. that's the case, by the way, that led blues singer ledbelly to coin the term stay woke. meaning watch out, black people, if you come down south, there's racists down here. you really can't make this up. that's the origin of woke. the supreme court in that landmark case noted a defendant who is charged with a serious crime must not be stripped of his right to have sufficient time to advise with counsel and prepare his defense, which those young black guys with barely any legal counsel didn't have. fast forward to today. and the highly paid legal team representing super rich former president of the united states donald trump is equating his alleged crimes trying to steal an election by scapegoating black voters and poll workers, to a group of black teenagers

All I understood was that, because of Japan’s aggression that pulled the United States into the war, my family and I had to leave our Los Angeles home at gunpoint, taking with us only what we could carry.My mother, tears in her eyes, managed to stash an entire new portable sewing machine in her bag. She knew that where we were going, we might need to make our own clothes. S
scapegoating. what giuliani alleged today is baseless. i worked with him many years ago. there is very little to no resemblance to the person i worked for, he was one of the most respected prosecutors. he said this is about stopping discovery which would be a mess in the case of rudy giuliani but it is a concession in effect that all of those accusations made publicly were lies. >> what can they do about it? will he face some sort of punishment? >> i think he might. he is trying to minimize how much trouble he can get in by owning it. the problem is, that is potentially evidence and other lawsuits and he admitted to a

thank you for being with us. you have hospitals who accept medicaid asking about immigration status. a lot of people probably don't know but they can decline to answer the question. that's one of the facets here. what are your concerns about this new law? >> i think you hit the nail on the head. this creates a public health concern. imagine if you have someone who has covid and because they're afraid to come forward, they don't get the attention they need and they become a spreader. i say this not lightly out of a pandemic, but what ron desantis is trying to do, instead of coming up with the solution to the immigrants who have on average been here for over 20 years and are part of our community, he's trying to find an expedient way to run for office by scapegoating those who provide us with the very food on our table. i would encourage him to have conversations and come up with a platform of what does having the 11 million undocumented people come forward and how do you integrate them into our community, into our society.
