Greetings and sal you take from electric cars that park and drive themselves to the ability to buy damn near anything your imagination desires from the comfort of your own home. In just a click or 2. We must truly, truly be living in a brand new, gilded age of prosperity. Yeah, not so much. Not at all apart from all of our gadgets, of convenience and entertainment at our fingertips. The meat hook reality is that according to the u. S. Labor department, u. S. Jobless claims of risen over 800000 since august. Weve had more than 75000000 claims for Unemployment Insurance since the start of the pandemic all the way back in march. In fact, the number of u. S. Citizens living in poverty has jumped from 9 percent back in june to over 11 percent in september. And that number is still rising, showing no signs of future decline. But things, things arent all bad for some u. S. Citizens. You see, while main street crumbles from disease oppression and degradation. Wall street in our billionaire class. Well my friends, they have been thriving. You see, while millions upon millions of us have lost their jobs and Health Insurance all across this country, us billionaires saw their combined Network Surge by more than 930000000000. 00 bringing it the collective wealth of just 600 44. 00 people to a staggering 3. 00 trillion 1. 03 trillion dollars. In just 644. 00 people a thats according to a new, an analysis recently released by americans for tax fairness and the institute for public studies who have been tracking wealth inequality in america since the start of the coburg 19 pandemic. Yes, according to their numbers, these greedy few saw their wealth rise by more than 33 percent during this crisis and pain. And just to give you some perspective that 940000000000. 00 gain is roughly 3 times bigger than the paltry 300000000000. 00 the corporate job themselves. Mitch mcconnell put into his now abandoned september pandemic relief bill. My friends, this massive wealth stock is not the American Dream at work. Its far from it. Its an american mare. And is it is why we will always be watching the hawks. Whats going on a city street, you want to see there, so you can see this is this joyce state. See grace. See this ladys systemic deception is late show but shes so please join us for everyone watching the hawks and im obese. Across a range of theres a massive amount of wealth to be bestowed upon the 644. 00 people, especially seeing all that wealth raise up while the rest of us have been suffering for the last 9 months. 8 months. Oh absolutely, and i think ive told you this before, it seems like whenever there is pestilence, whenever there is extreme poverty or degradation across america, there are always an elite group of people that tend to make more and more money off of other peoples if they manage and thats what were seeing, the likes of jeff bass, those and others. Oh yeah. Lets look at the likes of these others or you would just, jeff bezos as Mark Zuckerberg and ben gilbert chairman of quick look at what theyve made. I mean, jeff bezos grew from 113000000000 in march 18th 203000000000 by october increase 80 percent zuckerberg, 54 point 7000000000. 00 in march 18th to 101000000000. 00 by october 30th, 85 percent increase in law must 24600000000. 00 march 18th, now close to 100000000000. 00. And ben gilbert, chairman of quicken loans, saw his world rocket by 656 percent 49000000000 at the start of the year from 6000000000. 00 at the start of the year to 49000000000. 00. Now at the end of the year, thats massive wealth heading their way. Now i get it for a jet basis, for instance, because the majority of us are still using amazon, especially when you know all of this, the words were raided and everything at the start of 1000. A lot of people are turning to online shopping. I get it for face because were talking about Mark Zuckerberg because of the ad buys that campaigns are using and as well as you know, different political groups right now in a Campaign Election cycle. I dont get it and i didnt know it. I look at it like this and ill actually go the opposite. I dont get it for any of them. And heres why i wondered, i understand logically, but i will say this, we always talk about a minimum wage. Father actually brought this up in our group that we need to have a maximum wage because when you have people making this much money, that gives them more power and control over so many different aspects of this country that its ungodly. What do you need that much money for at the end of the day . No, i agree with you there. What we know about amazon is that the majority of their workers are full time workers. These are contractors. So you know, when coburn 1000 hit, it meant that a lot of people were either laid off or they already didnt have Health Insurance. And we also know that they werent given the proper p. P. A. To protect them while they were working in these warehouses. So theres a lot going on at the back story there as well. I mean, look like theres just brought a brand new 165000000. 00 homes here that goes along with 80000000. 00 worth of new york apartments. Meanwhile, nearly 62000000. 00 people lost work between march 21st and september 19th. 98000. 00 businesses, Small Businesses closed, that is not how a country or economy could possibly survive when you have that much money flowing to the top. And so little going to the rest of us if there wasnt enough going on in the lead up to the 2020 alexion here in the u. S. A stunning revelation is sending shock waves across the country. Lawyers say president trumps border policy has left over 500. 00 Migrant Children without their parents. Thats right. Somewhere in the shuffle of cool detention policies and family separations, hundreds of kids are now left without their parents at all. And the u. S. Government doesnt seem to know where those parents are and arent providing much information on exactly how they banished, according to Court Filings attained by n. B. C. News. Lawyers appointed to represent minors say that 545. 00 parents cant be found. The attorneys believe that 2 thirds of the parents were deported to Central America before they could be reunited with their young ones. Joining us now to shed light on this is immigration attorney alan or jr. Welcome, alan. Thank you for having me. Well, and i know that you have talked about this a lot in social media in other circles as well. Lets start with the basics. How can the u. S. Government lose 545 parents . And what happens now to these orphan kids . So i think a little bit of this branding of the parent is losing the conversation because we should be talking about how many kids in the last 545 kids as well as the parents are less shift the conversation and say its 545. 00 kids that are here, that are now orphan or that have been abandoned in the United States because of us. And the way it happened is by design, because were able to keep up with anything that works or want to but with people with luggage, with people, with the military, we can keep up with anything we were people going to the moon. So really this is by design that they didnt care enough to sort of track the parents to these kids. And so the problem of this is it started in 2017. So these kids have been separated for 2 years or more, basically, or more. And the concept is that many of these kids have more separated from their parent than they have with their parents. And thats the biggest problem that were, sort of facing here. That was the u. S. , all things that is clearly against international law. And now were trying to write that policy drugs border policies, we been scrutinizing them for a long time, especially on this show. And in other places. Just think at all that theres a new revelation is going to affect him at the polls and you know, will this play a role in the election and what can be done to rectify the damage . You talk about kids, but away from their parents for more than 2 years now, longer than they were with their parents. Can this ever be rectified and fixed . So the rectification of it probably i dont really know how you fix that. That issue when you take away the someone is a toddler and someone is a kid at that age frame. They are forever damaged in the only way we can go to rightsize. That is the sort of give them some sort of green card and the parents just sort of say we need to move this forward in the best way we can with regards to the policy. Suburban women are really impacted by kids. And this is really been a good talking point for people, but i think at this point, all the christian, all the prolife people, everyone says theyre out there about the kids and kids in school. And in coven need to now rise up and ask their congressperson is running for office. What about the 545 kids . I think would have been really bad. But 545, thats a really horrible. And thats out of the 2000 that they had already separated in the very beginning. And the real issue of this is, why were they separated the 1st point today . You see d. H. As coming back and saying, are you saying, well, the parents dont want them back . Well, thats the back end of the cart. And those are very complex conversations that we can have with each individual case by case, depending on where the fairness if you can. In fact, on that, because 283 of them, they dont even know what the parents are. But you cant really having a conversation thing. The parents dont want them back because they should have never been separated in the 1st place. Much less can you claim that as our 1st lady did, that these kids are better off now than they were of their parents because they have and they have to pay. Thats really not a conversation i want to have with anyone. Its irrational. Its also one has been proven false because we know a lot of those kids were found sleeping on floors and didnt have anything to clean their bodies much less their teeth. But alan, i have another question for you. We know about the family separations in this bombshell story, but amid these i miss him from and theres also the devastating news that trump is ratcheting up calls to continue those immigrant raids across cities in america just a few days out of election day. What are your thoughts there, and why do you think the president is targeting sanctuary cities right now, some of which are also in battleground states. So its a circus, and its really not about enforcement because youve been in charge for 30 years. You have not deported as many people as the former president lee clearly said you had a strong immigration policy and he did it. And today you went after 13 to the individuals that came. It was that they had a job when they didnt have a job. And therefore, they werent taking away jobs for american workers, but you use our resources during code that to go up to 13 students falsely claimed that they were working. Right. I think there should be adjusting in our expectation for that. But at this point, time to i think those 13 students are National Security harm are more important than cobra. I really dont think thats a lack of direction and control. And what we all know right now is it really isnt when people in the whole thing, youre doing this big around that by deportation when in fact you have a judge after a judge say, these private prison that were paying for. And i think right now with the deficit being is large and americans need to start asking, why are we paying for much of our prison . Does a great question as to why were paying so much for prisons and why is american tax dollars being used to pay for what our son . She called them this before and youve agreed with. There are such in concentration camps for these poor people who have come across our border than we have now thrown in jail. Separated them from their kids now essentially lost 500, some odd, broken up families, and then lost where to send these children. I want to ask just one final question before we goes, what is, what possibly is their excuse at this point . When confronted with these numbers, do they have any, any way, excuse whatsoever to how youll lose someones family . You know, and theyre running away from it. There is no excuse because its by design and i think at the end when they sort of meet themselves in International Court for truth and reconciliation of our own congress, theyre going to have to come up with an answer because now there are, theres twitter, theres a policy inside that were sort of shown from n. B. C. That they did it on purpose. Jeff sessions is on the development as well as even miller. People need to be held accountable for that because it was 100 dogs at people would be raising in the street. If this was happening in another country, remember when this happened on the continent of africa, people were out when the operator girls with nothing. And the problem of all that, you havent think that you have any of them. You dont know any of their names. You dont know, and you know, a case of a government, probably the best many people and they dont have any boy. How many girls and what their ages are because their narrative. I couldnt agree with you more. This is absolute. People should be outraged by this. We should be heartbroken by this and we should be demanding accountability for this because again, these are children, as you so eloquently pointed out. Thank you for your hard work and getting the truth about this out there and all the work that youre doing now. And always a pleasure having you on sir. Thank you for having me. All right, as we go to break, remember that you can also star watching marks on the man with a brand new portable t. V. After the bible on all platforms coming up more than 4000. 5 people have died in u. S. Jails before their day in court, and former u. S. Trial attorney Arthur Reserve joins us to discuss that shocking number of states that are watching the whole by the pandemic. No, certainly, no blood is just blind to nationalities has emerged. We caught up with the we do a back seat, the whole world beats to be the chief judge of comedy crisis, at least this time to time. So we can do better. We should everyone is contributing each of our own way. But we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. The challenge is critical to response has been masked. So many good people are helping us. It makes us feel very proud that were in it together. Really exclaimed joe biden, to be president elect come on group. Thats not how it works. Fine, although crowleys made that determination and we arent there yet, was the election free and fair . And what is the possibility . How big country played the election . You know, it was will soup will sure. Wish to be sure. But the truth to w. Clubbable was sure i can board. It doesnt actually matter best to put a gun by you to go there. When you discuss all of those who do, because those told me game we will see in the movie it is with it would seem the most news, but is the most severe. Some of it is in yesterdays, come on, the news, the of the 20th century was doing in a revolution, the Great Depression and world war, the 21st century of mental illness. Those arent my words. Thats what surfaced some psychiatry to tell us. The only question is, should we accept it as a fact . Yes or no . Criminal Justice Reform calls have largely landed on the prison system host conviction. Were talking mandatory minimum sentencing. 3 strikes laws agree just sentencing mandates that place people of color in prison for much longer terms than their white counterparts, but not getting as much attention or the calls for reforms in the pretrial stage. This stage comes before an accused person ever faces a trial or jury, or a judge. Thousands of americans sit in jails across this country for months, sometimes years without being found guilty of anything. I know the story will too will because my own mother languished in jail, never having a day in court. Her crime. She couldnt afford bail and had a mental illness. And she was alone, while essentially serving time without a conviction. Folks often end up facing severe Human Rights Violations up to and including death. In fact, a recent special report released just last week revealed 4998 people died in u. S. Jails, many under brutal circumstances. In one case harvey, a mentally ill man was charged with trespassing after he was found. Standing in the morning rain and left thing at the sky. The man who called 911 alerted the arriving officer that hill needed a mental evaluation. But he never got much. Instead will wish to charge with trespassing and jailed and incurred a 500. 00 bond. But things only got worse from there. The next day hill flew into a rage at the Madison County Detention Center in canton, mississippi. 3 guards tackled him, pepper sprayed him, kicked him in the head. After he was handcuffed, who was slammed against a concrete wall. The officers then lured him away from camera shot and continued to beat the handcuffed man in a subsequent investigation. The guards said hill was so combative and showed superman force that they were required to spawn a respond aggressively. Hill was then sent into solitary confinement where guard pinned him to the floor, beat him, then removed his handcuffs. The poor man died just 46 minutes later. Agree just disgusting and maddening. But hills case, it isnt unique. He has one of 7571 inmate deaths. Reuters documented in u. S. Jails between 182008 to 2019. Joining us now is authorizer, the director for the justice and Civil Liberties institute. Welcome author. Thank you for having me. Appreciate the deaths in the jails continue to mount across the country and being mindful that these people have never been convicted of anything. Why do you think stories like harvey hills arent receiving more widespread attention . The criminal Justice Reform standard bearers tend to focus on. They tend not to focus on jails at all outside of baylor, if theyre not really looking at cases like this. I think very sadly, the answer is kind of within itself. The reason these individuals are. Busy in jail, most of the time is because theyre too poor to get out and that right there, exactly what you described, but your mom thats heartbreaking. Im sorry to hear that is exactly why these individuals die in jail because they have the smallest voice. And when you have a small voice, you really fall to the very bottom, the list. And i think a really important that just again or stand here is that number 7571. 00 from 2000 each 1900 thats only looking at 500. 00 jails, thats only 16 percent of the jails across the United States. We dont we, theres 3100 jails. So that number is probably much higher. I think what truly breaks my heart about this story is the fact that these are people who are still technically not guilty if you know we still go by that old adage of innocent till proven guilty. I know thats kind of a rarity these days, but you know, thats what really makes this sad. And reports are showing, as you mentioned, that the fatality that in jails has become more and more secretive to on top of not getting all of it. Especially of the trumpet ministration. Traditionally aggregated statistics were published every 2 years. We havent seen that since 2016. A Justice Department spokesman said there are no plans there, superior to reports of inmate deaths. How does this hamper advocacy for these people and what problems does this lack of reporting . Cause data is everything, its impossible to create a new policy systems. Its impossible to understand what is happening without truly understanding the actual numbers. Because without it, youre just, youre just talking about stories and you know, harvey hill story is tragic, but its just advantaged outside of this report. And the most important thing to kind of understand about this is that b. D. S. Has said that were not going to go forward. This is not one of those situations where you have the government saying were giving it, were gathering it, the bureau of justice. It isnt saying, no, were not going to turn it over. So how do you ever really advocate for a new set of polls hes done when you dont understand what is happening . I mean, we know more about deaths of civilians in iraq that we know about deaths of our own civilians within our jails. And that is outrageous. And are there couldnt, i couldnt put it better. We know that these deaths, many of them are preventable 1st, off with better protocols against abuse, health assessments, corrective action from the work that you do. Have you written or supported any model, legislation or policy framework around this issue. And what are your thoughts on things that we can change . Well 1st, yes, i just wrote a paper with tracy mears of yale law school. That basically argues that nobody should be incarcerated in jail without severe due process just because they cant afford bail. And even this idea that old, were going to keep people in jail because there are risks to the community. Most that kind of bold to be part of my, my, my, my, my language. Because who defines what is, what is a Public Safety risk. You know, listen, im a center right guy, i care about Public Safety in a really is a bedrock to me, but this isnt actually make us safer. Let me talk about a few statistics. We know that 2 or 3 days in jail for low risk individuals. So these are individuals who do not pose a risk, are 40 percent more likely to commit new crimes than the individuals were held for 24 hours or less. And that numbers only magnify the longer you hold these individuals. Low risk individuals are helper 31. 00 days or longer, or 71 percent more likely to reoffend. And when you talk about high risk individuals dollars, no correlation between time in jail and a likely to new crimes. What that tells us is that we are actually making ourselves less safe by holding individuals in jail longer than we need to. And why is that . Well, of course, its actually selfexplanatory when you were in jail, you lose your job. I mean, listen, if you guys didnt come to work for a date, you probably wouldnt lose your job. I would lose my job. I mean, hell, i havent been to work going to europe because it go good. And still you literally we, even if you work at walmart, youll get dont think privileges. You were good warm or youre gone for a day or conversion. Youre caught for a day or got your job is gone. And you lose your home and you lose your family. You news all your stability and the last thing ill point out that you made a very valid point about is jail is the absolute worst place for individuals who are having Mental Health issues. I mean, britain is better for god. At least prison. You have reentry programs, you have actual medical care, but individuals who are going through Mental Health arts as a worst place, you can put him in his jail. And most these individuals are held there for misdemeanors. It is crazy what were doing. Were making ourselves unsafe, and these are citizens of the United States of america who are not, dont have our constitution. And its very sad. Whats happening in the last thing ill say is the remedy, or most these individuals are still remedy. Well, i mean, one can for, to get out of jail if you can afford to get a lawyer to add that you were to get out of jail. Thats crazy under one of the minute sporting event, which are what would protect you know, if you were going to standards, the standards of the 40 of them is fair. Whats fair mean for 8. The minute crew unusual. It says serious medical care, but there is no standard of what serious medicare is and to a 60 minute process. No one defines what it, what a speedy process is. All the cards are stacked against these individuals. And if someone like me, whos on the right who believes in limited government, we should be the one standing up against this. This is our job. Lets was one thing thats going to cut as my eye are going to catch is why youre with what youre saying is it, it boggles my mind. The we dont see this kind of reform taking place, especially from the conservative side of the political spectrum because they are for smaller government. And this is the very definition of government overreach, but i want to ask you, why is our system now so built to favor the prosecution and the government as opposed to the innocent individual in the civilian . Because weve baked it in, we baked into the system, were doing it for years. I mean we, the politicians have been pounding their, their fists on podiums and yelling about the danger of the boogeyman thats coming to get us. And that gets them elected. And because its gotten elected, theyve kept doing it and ill tell you, you cannot point to one thing in the United States where fear has driven policy. And we ended up in a better place every single time weve ended up in a worse place. And that is exactly whats going on with jail. Now, there is some light on the horizon. There are some reforms happening. There are many jurisdictions around this country in red areas that have actually made a difference. I mean, new orleans actually has decrease its jail population. Chicago has releases jail population, so there are some good things happening. But were still talking about by 1000 people who have died in jail and the vast majority are people who have committed misdemeanors. Who have Mental Health issues with drug issues. We should be protecting these people that by, by our constitution exactly, says that we should be protecting these people as you so eloquently pointed out earlier, thats the 5000 that we know of at this point. Arthur reserve, the director, criminal justice and Civil Liberties on our street. Thank you so much for coming on and educating our guests. Our audience today. Always a pleasure, i really appreciate it. Thank you. Yes sir. Thank you man. A lot of thats just breaks my heart when i see that because it is, its innocent till proven guilty. And our system tells us everything other than that by their actions and that they have money like you said, oh good, youre innocent. If you have lots of money, then ben, youre innocent, i guess is all that works. All right, everybody, that is our show for you today. Remember in this world we are definitely not told that we are loved and up. So i tell you all, i love you. I rolled into up on the beach across. Keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and that everybody there are tactics that can be used to get innocent people to confess to crimes. They didnt commit, i dont even think people in the us really get that the police are allowed to lie to. The person who falsely confessed, actually came to believe the lie that they were told about their own behavior. Once a false confession is taken, the case is closed and nobody really can tell the difference between a good confession and one that is join me every thursday on the alex simon short. And ill be speaking to us of the world of politics or business. Im show business, ill see you then. During the vietnam war, u. S. Forces also bombs neighboring laos. It was a secret war.
