Washington dc Council Supporting a bill. It would give a check to the most violent centimetres to not commit crimes. Is it award will bad behaviour. Some reporter it would offer a reward for not committing crimes. The amount is minimum at all compared to the cost of invitation. Criminals. If youre a good person for your whole life you will never be rewarded. This is 9,000 a year and they learn to be Good American citizens. I like it our panel. A republican strategist and white house aid. A senior fellow at the independent womens forum. Also a features editor at the nations mag zen theyre trying to do this. Should cities pay violent criminals to not be violent . How do i get myself signed up for this. Im a good citizen, i pay my taxes and volunteer. Im responsible. I contribute to my community. Hazard. Reporter is it true youre not getting money. When you think about it i work, so we invest in middleclass kids constantly. I suspect, i certainly have held fellow ships in my life, internships. We give people who are doing well, who have had kinds of opportunity additional opportunity. Come to this program, study. You will get extra cash for it as well. This idea is what if we did that for poor kids too is it rewarding bad behaviour. Its a 9,000 check. For repeat offenders of Violent Crimes these are human beings. I work with this population. I pass through a church in the inner city in a deprived neighborhood this . You have to give people hope and a shot to change their behaviour and to see a brighter future. Who invests in poor kids . Nobody does. What does this is a to the citizens who abide by the laws, the young kids, the poor young kids. Not every poor young kid is a criminal. What does it say to them who abidely the law and has a job, a newspaper rout. The Perfect World. It is not sensible in a Perfect World you would want caring people to raise kids this will cost 5 million over five years. Im sure the city can use that money in better ways i think it will save money. I dont if you have say ten or 20 kids, change their behaviour, to look at their scales and make money legally raerp just locking up which costs a lot absolutely this is not an idea that popped up in a vacuum um. They have been running a Similar Program like this. Noone has looked at this analytically. A respect specialist they dont know in the Program Works the hope is you can teach kids to find out what it is they do well. Help them to find what it is they can do in life. Theyre getting a check to explore what they can do for the rest of the life it is not just cutting them a check. It is Something Like ten different elements to this program that involve investment in infrastructure in the neighborhood. Its about investing in the world that theyre in, about putting them into a program themselves where theyre learning life skills, where theyre Getting Health Check ups and doing the things that we want to create positive outcomes and alongside that they get an amount to encourage their participation these are repeat violent criminals. I really think we need sentencing and Justice Reform for the petty thief or someone caught with a small amount of drugs. I worry about the incarceration rates for small crimes, but i think these repeat offenders and violent criminals need to be put away for longer. Maybe they dont need to get out and get the money. Every kid we lose, every kid that doesnt make t we pay for those kids. We cant afford them to slip through the cracks and send them off to jail. If we can save a kid who didnt have the benefit of a good upbringing, mum and dad, brothers and sisters or other role models, we can save a quarter of the kids in this program. Productive. Its not just failures of the family but that of the states. Theyre paying to have social workers and psychologists in hospitals when people show up with gunshot wounds. Repeat violent offenders, one thing we do is that the homicide in the shooting clearance rates in neighborhoods where this happens are so disgustingly low krit six say that a lot of these programs are already in place. Why not beef up those theyre not in point. Thats the place rather than throwing cash at a problem were not solving crimes. Counsellors. We dont have the money. I would loov to have the money. It would help me where im a pastor and where i serve the next issue, beyonce knowles, her new video have some people praising her and others are questioning her motives. Reporter her performance has controversy. She dressed up in the tribute to the panthers. I thought it was outrageous that she used it as a platform to attack police officers. The the super bowl is a family event. This shows a divide. Artists are known to use their platform this was the super bowl i dont know about you, but i was caught off guard. I missed all of these subtle tones that i read in the paper. This was, obviously, very political statement, the song, the performance. Now that were reading into it, is she doing this to sell here. First of all, who cares. Of course she is selling records. Thats her job. I dont have a problem with her selling records. The interesting thing is that we have arrived at a cultural moment where sympathy, one of the most successful she, one of the most successful artists, the way to talk the records is talking about the way to reclaim our culture, to tap into the black lives matter. She is speaking through her music, the formation, the song formation in the music video are both about a reclaiming of the powers of golf black culture and particularly of black women. The fact that she is like this is the kind of thing that will be popular rate now. It is hopeful to me that that is where she is if i was an entertainer i would be loving this because youre talking about it selling records absolutely. More people will study this the beauty is that she is big enough that sympathy can say what she thinks. Thats the sweetness of it. There was a time if you had too much saying what you believe, you might lose your record deal. She is at a point in her career where she is so big and so popular that she can afford to say exactly what is on her mind. Thats what muveng and america is Music Industry is about and america, you can say whatever you want you can do this show, there might be a disconnect between black lives matter and white people. They dont understand. I think that in the super bowl the back up dancers were dressed in a way to look like a black panther. I think there a lot of people who are turned about praising the black Panther Movement which was involved in extortion and murder. This was a violent group. There is legitimate concern about that. She is a business woman. She doesnt talk about these things. She does a video which i might beity whitest person here, but i didnt understand the song. It took me a while to under what the message was. The video is interesting and beautifully shot, but i dont understand how this moves the conversation at all you were praising her for at least going out there and making a stand. Do we need more beyonce out there . So many dont get political at all take her and j zchlt. They were both criticized. They were criticized because they were not showing up at the beginning. Before we with were calling it black lives matter. Around 2010 and 11 when we were seeing a surge in racial organising and there was a time in our culture and history, and black history in particular, that the entertainers were the funders of the whole movement if more entertainers got involved, whatever the issue is, if they got out there and speak their mind would that encourage others to get involved . If we actually got young people to read a day. You cant underestimate the power of pop culture and social media. For those who social media. For those who are stars in that realm, they speak to millions of people. It is huge at least one thing we do has an impact. Look at the sales at red lobster. Thank you to my guests. Straight ahead the country is outraged over the flint water crisis that is poisoning thousands of children, but this meet the unsung hero of social change. I feel like im suppose to do something, breaking down barriers. Sometimes i have to speak when other people say be quiet. Shaping our future. I actually am committed to a different, better, stronger, healthier america. I lived that character. We will be able to see change. Before we go its time for our final thought. The kon tam thags in led of water supply in flint contamination in flint it is at worst racism and criminal indifference to the sufferings community. The biggest victims are some 8,000 kids, as young as 6 years old. It comes at an age which causes permanent damage. Flint michigan is not alone. Led contamination is taking place in cities and towns all over america. So is official indifference to what amounts to mass poisoning. Two examples here. This week the New York Times reported that the village of seep refreshings ing found led in the water supply last august. In michigan, officials didnt bother to warn people not to drink the water. They held that information for five months. At last july firnls in jackson also found their water was also contaminated with led. They held on that this new for six months. In michian, officials says if anyone dies of led contamination, they could face manslaughter charges. It is important that the entire national has to face the reality that while most of the water is safe, the ageing infrastructure that delivers it is often crumbling and sometimes dangerously. Congress bears a lot of the pairs a lot of the blame here. The explanation has to be cut back on funding for safety and failed attempts to pass Infrastructure Improvement bills. Making sure everyone who lives in the wealthiest countries in the world has safe water to drink, thats really third rail. In pakistan, its cheaper to buy a hit of heroin than food. The country is infamous as a major transit point for heroin and cannabis from neighboring afghanistan to the rest of the world. But its also fighting its own battle with addiction. Im steve chao. On this edition of 101 east, we ask if pakistan can kick its drug habit. Karishma vyas reports
