Search effort at that Collapsedcondo Building must stop. So that the remainder of the damaged structure can be demolished before a tropical storm hits. Cnns Brian Todd is in surfside and just came from the latestpress conference. What more are you learning, brian . Reporter well, pamela, we have been told that the rescue operations have been on pause now for the lastthree hours. They started the actual pause at 4 00 p. M. , eastern time. So that teams can prepare for the demolition of what remains of the structure of Champlain Towers south. And that structure seems to be getting increasingly dangerous to remain upright by the hour. Here is mayor daniella levine cava, a short time ago. Were continuing to move forward with Due Diligence and with setting a specific timeline for the demolition. We dont have that for you, yet. Search and rescue does does have to pause, temporarily, while the Demolition Preparation is underway. And that there is threat to the standing building that is posed to the first responders, as weve told you. So, preparation includes activities, like drilling into columns in the unsafe structure. So, it has been determined by our engineers and our fire department, in constant communication with the demolition team, as the process is underway, that we need to put a Tiemporary Pause and we are continuing to receive updates about the condition of the standing structure and we will begin the search and rescue, once again, on any sections of the pile that are safe to access, as soon as we are cleared. Reporter and you heard the mayor say that they are going to be drilling into columns. They she called this a rapidcontrolled demolition. We pressed her on some more information about specific techniques that theyre going to use to take the building down. Officials are not really forthcoming about that but its going to be interesting to see, you know, the physical and technical nature of how they bring this building down. Um, they are hopeful that they can do this demolition before the tropical storm gets here. We really tried to nail down a timeline. The mayor, daniella levine cava, said they could not give us a specific timeline. They dont really have that, yet. But she did say they are hopeful to get this done before The Storm gets here. The storm is kind of On A Nebulous track right now as we have been reporting. Its tracking toward south florida. This area could feel tropicalstorm force winds, as early as Sunday Night into monday morning. But that storm is now tracking a little Bit West of here. Its tracking into the Florida Keys and possibly west of here. It may not impact this area so severely. And the mayor said thats good news but she, also, cited the uncertain nature of that storm. You know, The Storm may not hit in earnest until, maybe, monday afternoon. And again, where it hits in E Earnest is still a question. There is a big cone of uncertainty there. It does seem to be tracking west. Another, key piece of information that she that she gave after we pressed her on this. She said no, other buildings around that Building Need to be evacuated when they demolish it. Now, we were in Champlain Towers east yesterday for a Vantage Point there. And its very close to that building, pamela. You can its its there is one small Hotel Building between Champlain Tower East and Champlain Tower South where the collapse was. Its really a matter of, you know, i would say, a couplehundred feet away. And yet, that building, Champlain Towers east, other buildings, will not be evacuated according to the mayor. All right. Important information there, Brian Todd, live, for us from surfside, florida. Thanks, brian. And we are following some disturbing, new developments in the fight against the deadly coronavirus. Specifically, that highlytransmissible Delta Variant, which is seen as the likely driver behind the 10 spike in newu. S. Cases, this week. In california, where the Positivity Rate has doubled in recent weeks, this variant represents more than onethird of the states new infections. And despite more than 156 Million americans being fully inoculated, Infection Experts warn the strain will continue to rage, due to rampantvaccine hesitancy. Its a major threat to americans health and to the prospects of reaching Herd Immunity. Lets bring in cnn medical analyst, dr. Leana wen. Good evening, dr. Wen, great to see you. So, here we are. It is a Holiday Weekend. I remember what the discussions were like, last Fourth Of July. Now, the discussions are different. Obviously. When it comes to coronavirus. Medical officials are saying that, look, if you are vaccinated, there is almostno risk. But should we be celebrating with Family Members or friends that are not vaccinated . And do we need to wear a mask . Its a great question. And first of all, i do think we have to have knowledge that we are in such a different place from where we were last Fourth Of July when the worst was yet to come, versus right now. I think the worst is behind us, especially if we are vaccinated. Here is the thing. If you are fully vaccinated, and you are around other people who are, also, vaccinated. You are very safe. On the other hand, if you are unvaccinated and people around you are unvaccinated, too, thats not safe. If you are vaccinated and your Family Members are not vaccinated, you are probably safe, yourself. Especially, if you are not immunocompromised. But the problem is if you are at a family gathering, especially one that has indoor components and there are many people there who are unvaccinated. They are a risk to one another. And so, i would really urge that, if you are in that circumstance, to try to be outdoors, as much as possible. Not so much for you but for the other people who are there. So, how careful do we need to be to protect our children who are not vaccinated . We, both, are moms. Our kids are young. They havent been vaccinated. What should we do . Our children are at risk for contracting coronavirus. In particular, this Delta Variant thats so much more transmissible. If you have something more transmissible, it means that those activities that we thought were, previously, relatively safer are actually more dangerous. Because whatever we could get away with before. Now, with something more contagious, you are more likely to get it. And so, i would say for children, if kids are gathering with other kids, they should try to be outdoors, as much as possible. If they are indoors, they should be wearing masks. Hmm. I am curious what you think. Earlier in the show, i interviewed a Health Official in l. A. County who was saying that the county is now suggesting Mask Use for even vaccinated people in publicindoor places. Just looking at the numbers, looking how the Delta Variant is impacting people there. What do you think about that . And do you think that that is a trend that we are going to continue to see in other areas of the country . I actually agree with what dr. Ferrer in l. A. County has done. What st. Louis is recommending. I think the indoormask mandates were lifted too soon because the problem is that were not asking for proof of vaccination. So, if you have an area, lets say, where only 50 of people have been vaccinated. And No One around you is wearing a mask indoors. You know that youre, also, surrounded by unvaccinated people. And so, i think, in those situations, if you are not asking for proof of vaccination, everybody should be wearing a mask. Because otherwise, you Eve Jus made that space basically unsafe for children who cant be vaccinated, for immunocompromised people. I do also think that the level of community transmission, also, really matters. Think of the vaccine as a really good raincoat. If its drizzling, were fine. But if there is a huge hurricane or thunderstorm, you may need better protection. You may need a mask and a vaccine. And so, i do think it makes sense to have indoor mandates, actually, starting to come back, especially in places with highcommunity transmission. I am curious, what you think about this and what this reveals. That president biden didnt reach his goal of 70 of americans having at least one of the vaccines by the Fourth Of July. Now, this was just a goal that the administration set. But they had, clearly, carefully, crafted these milestones, all along the way. What do you what does it reveal, to you, that this Goal Wasnt reached . Although, it is close to it. And and what does it tell you about reaching Herd Immunity in this country . I dont think were going to get anywhere close to Herd Immunity, unless the biden administration gets behind vaccine credentialing. Im not talking about a Nationalvaccine Passport thats required. But rather, an a choice for individuals to show vaccine credentials. I think that, when there are vaccine mandates that are going to be given by various workplaces. When vaccines become mandated, come the fall, for students entering college. And ideally, for schools, going forward. Thats really going to drive the increase in numbers. Until then, were really just tinkering around the edges. We are going to get a few more people vaccinated and thats really important. But i think that for us to Reach A actually, Herd Immunity or anything close to it, it is going to require some type of vaccine requirement. And i really hope the biden administration starts getting behind it. All right. Dr. Leana wen, thanks so much for joining us on this Holiday Weekend. We really appreciate all of your expertise and insight, as always. Thank you very much, pamela. And tonight, 11 people are in custody following a Ninehour Standoff between police and a group of heavilyarmed men on one of the nations busiest interstates. Overnight, Highway Patrol found two vehicles in the Breakdown Lane on interstate 95. Police say heavilyarmed men wearing tactical gear were attempting to refuel one of the vehicles. After seeing the then were armed, the trooper called for backup. Some of the men, then, fled into the nearby woods. And the standoff ensued. We were able to, successfully, resolve this situation through a combination of negotiation and some tactical maneuvers. The men in custody belong to the rise of the moores, which is a muddled ideology, apparently connected to the moorish sovereignty movement, which believes, among other things, that an 18th Century Treaty between the u. S. And morocco grants them special rights. They wanted to be heard. They wanted to be a variety of, not demands, but requests that they just be allowed to leave the area. Transit the area without any accountability. And at the end of the day, we couldnt accommodate that. So, the men, eventually, surrendered to police, without incident. And authorities seized an undisclosed number of guns. Their motive and their intentions are, still, unclear. Joining me, now, is former Homeland Security Official under President Obama and current Cnn National Security analyst, juliette kayyem. So, help us make sense of this. I mean, as we piece together what happened, how significant is this . Its significant, in the sense that this organization, the moors or the moors sovereign citizens have actually been getting a little bit more aggressive lately. If you look at the last year, they went from what we call paper terrorism. Which is, they they do lawsuits and liens against peoples homes and just sort of harass people through paper. To a couple of arrests lately and, of course, this this armed event. As you noted, that they are a very small group. That most Law Enforcement have probably never heard of. That believe in some special status for a group of africanamericans that that they have special rights and privileges and, therefore, dont have to abide by the laws. The problem is they drove into the commonwealth of massachusetts, which has a noopencarry law. So, the moment that they that the Police Officer, the state trooper, goes up to them and sees all that weaponry. That right there, thats your statecriminal violation. They didnt have to do anything else. And then, of course, the the Police Officer called for backup. And fortunately, No One was harmed. So, this doesnt appear to be a wellknown group, as you say. A negotiator was called in. Could all of this be a Publicity Stunt . Yes, im so glad you asked. So, apparently, and we have to verify this but apparently this was sort of live streamed by the leadership. And because we are now talking about a group we havent talked about before. The the problem for them, though, is Publicity Stunts are now ending up with 11 of their members facing time. Massachusetts may be the home of the revolution but we do not we do not take lightly, terrorists or whoever. Armed armed citizens driving on our interstates, especially, on july 4th, where, of course, this was a significant backup. So they will face a penalty and its not a very large group. So, 11 Men Is is significant for them. So, we wont you know, in other words, this was this could have been something that they played. But we do not have to to be played by them. They will they will they will face time. I want to ask you about another nationalsecurity threat. The cyberattacks, which are happening with alarming frequency. And tonight, we are learning about this massive Ransomware Attack that has Hit Hundreds of businesses. Here is what americas Topcyberdefense Chief said to me, last weekend. Yeah. Attacks are happening almost every Day Someplace in this country. Some ones are big, and they are well known like colonial and jbs. But most of them are below the radar. The companies dont tell anyone. They may pay or may just rebuild their networks. And unfortunately, that will continue. So, how big of a deal is this latestRansomware Attack . I think this is a big deal. I think this is something thats going to unfold, over the next couple days. This is what we call a downstream attack. So, you you hit a company that No Ones ever heard of. But its actually significant company because its subcontractees, its licensees, are hundreds and hundreds of companies, if not thousands, who will be impacted. This is we have seen this before in ransomware. This is very easy, from the Attackers Perspective because if you get if you get that company, essentially, the the attack or the the cyberinfiltration goes down. Sort of downstreams to its clients. So i think we are going to find out a lot more companies that have been impacted. And and kudos to the company for for coming out, publicly, and saying everyone shut it down. As you know, its a Holiday Weekend. We dont know if the attack was timed to that. But we, also, therefore, dont know what the impact is, probably, until tuesday when these companies come back online. Yeah. It does raise questions. The Holiday Weekend. I was speaking to one Source Government Source who was saying, look. You know, it wouldnt surprise me if they were trying to do it during the Holiday Weekend to cause disruption. Thats what they like to do. So, theres a lot more to learn on this. Juliette kayyem, thanks for helping us put all of this into perspective. Have a happy fourth. You, too. And coming up this hour. To get away like that and everything he done to myself. The perfect, innocent girl. Bill Cosby Accusers speak out after a Bombshell Court Ruling sets the comedian free. Also, ahead tonight. Kentucky celebrates its shot at A Million vaccine drive.

Nurtec is the first and only option proven to treat and prevent migraines with one medication. Onederful. One quick dissolve tablet can start fast and last. Dont take if allergic to nurtec. The most common Side Effects were nausea, stomach pain, and indigestion. With Nurtec Odt, i treat migraine my way. Whats your way . Ask your doctor about nurtec to find out whether its lying about the 2020 election, distorting the events of january 6th, or sharing the stage with a holocaust denier, farright Congressman Paul Gosar is making a name for himself as one of the most conspiracyaddled republicans in congress. In a new fundraising email, Gosar Baselessly says the fbi may have had a hand in planning and carrying out the capitol attack. Again, that is baseless. If the arizona congressman, actually, believed this insidejob nonsense, and wanted to get to the bottom of it. Then, why did he vote against investigating the attack, twice . Sadly, Gosars Email may not be this weeks most stunning headline involving republicans and the capitol riot. Some republicans, i should say. Because, on tuesday, several gop lawmakers toured the u. S. Mexico border with an admittedcapitol rioter, anthony aguero. Now, maybe, they thought he would have some Expert Insight on breaching security barriers. For the record, these are the house republicans who were with aguero. Lauren boebert, madison cawthorne, chris jacobs, michael cloud, john rose, mary miller, and tom tiffany. Aguero was a close ally of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene and is a convicted felon. The group that organized the Border Trip said his attendance was, quote, purely incidental. The fbi, previously, declined to comment on whether he was under investigation for breaching the capitol. So, lets bring in congressman gosars sister, jennifer gosar. Jennifer, thank you so much for joining us on the show. I mean, first of all, when you hear everything i just laid out, what is your visceral reaction . My visceral reaction is disgust. Its nausea and loathing. I do not understand why these people continue to work in congress. Why they continue to do what they are doing with any without any efforts to, both, consider censure, expulsion, and investigation. Youve said that your brother is partly responsible for inciting the january6th attack. I mean, what do you make of his revisionism and conspiracies about that day . Again, nausea worthy. Its despicable. And its really cynical because paul uses this to fund raise. And i think thats, actually, probably, one of the most sickening qualities is that, not only is this something that is delusional and its criminal. If his involvement is with whatever reports that ive seen and read. Thats true, then he is absolutely a part of organizing this insurrection and should be held criminally accountable for it. But he uses that beyond that, pamela, to fund raise and i find that even more despicable and disgusting. I mean, you would you could call that shameless. Is that a quality that you saw in your brother, growing up . No, but ive certainly seen it since he started running for office in 2010. To start your Campaign Work aligning yourself with Joe Arpaio and s. B. 1070. That, to me, was already a sign that something was very wrong. I worked, for about 15 years, as a spanish and englishmedical interpreter and i am very proud of that work. So, when i confronted paul about his ideas regarding immigration. His use of, you know, the words illegal alien to otherize, i was concerned then. I didnt know what to do about it, then. But when the opportunity came to support dr. David in 2018, i jumped on it because i felt like that was probably the best platform to draw attention to how hateful and bigoted my brother is. What do you make of of the fact that, um, he has constituents that support him . That are donating to, um, his campaign and and his, you know, his office and so forth. What do you make of that . You know, its its a hard thing to understand because i dont know what hes done to, actually, help his constituents. You know, whether its water quality, sustainability, you know, problems with, you know, difficulties in the environment. Not only in the environment but working in the environment. And prescott in his district. I dont understand what hes actually done for people, seriously. So, that is something that i am still miffed by. But to be honest with you, it is there is so much that, you know, he he does that is convenient for paul. So, paul originally ran in a different district. And when it came time for reelection, he went to that district. He does not live there. He has no apan apartment there e doesnt live there. His residence is in flag staff. Hes never moved there. He went to that district to run because it is the safest one of the safest districts, i think, in the country. So, when you look at his political life and everything. And you look at his action since and, you know, how hes responded to different events like the january6th insurrection. Do you think there could be anything, anything, that would change his mind . Or change his ways . I mean, you know, the house put together the select committee to investigate the attack. Of course, republicans are already saying its partisan. They voted against it. But will the findings, will anything, change the minds of people like your brother . Well, its the very reason im here. I think censure, expulsion, and investigation for Criminal Activity are the things that, actually, would wake my brother up. I feel my brother to be addicted to control, domination, and power. So in that respect, holding him accountable is the only way to get this persons attention. And as youve seen and covered, you know, cnn has has covered this for some time. You know, his actions are only becoming more and more outrageous, egregious, and disgusting. So i understand that you havent spoken in a few years. Have i mean, what would you say to him, if you could talk to him right now . And after you make these appearances, do you ever hear does he try to reach out . Im just curious about what thats like. No, i wouldnt communicate with him. I dont you know, i dont align myself with the oath keepers, the proud boys, or any other hate group. Why would i ally with him just because we share dna . I mean, i dont i dont wish to speak with him. And in the past, however, i had tried to communicate or, you know, bring about different ideas to paul in a way that was that would connect. I gave that a fullseven years of Try And Nothing worked. So at this point, you know, i dont want communication with him. And i want him to be held accountable because, to me, thats the only way i can actually be honorable with this person. He is addicted, to me. To me, he is a person long past a sense, a reference, for reality and where is healthy, right . So, this is the only way i can be honorable and respectful Human Being to him is actually look for ways to hold him accountable to stop to be honest with you. No, he doesnt try to reach out to me and i think that wouldnt be a good idea if he did. Okay. Jennifer gosar, thank you so much for coming on the show and sharing your experiences. Your views on on your brother. We appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, pamela, for giving me a chance to talk about this because ive really i care about the people in our country. That dont get a chance to voice these kinds of, you know, what is Integrity And Care for each other. And its important to me, to every time i have given the opportunity, to speak up. Thank you. We appreciate it and youre welcome back on the show, anytime. Thanks so much. A young woman from kentucky gets a full ride to college just for getting a shot. Addison and her family join me, next.

The airport says a Water Leak in the Maincontrol Tower has forced airtraffic controllers to move to a secondary tower at that airport. So heads up on that for travelers, this weekend. Meantime, many states have implemented some kind of Vaccine Lottery to boost their overallvaccination rate. And although the jurys still out on whether they have actually been successful in doing so, none of the winners are complaining. Thats for sure. And that includes five young people, who just scored fullride scholarships to college in kentuckys shotatamillion lottery. They and other winners were announced friday after new you see the reaction right here one of them joins me, now. Adison sullenger, along with her parents, david and wendy. Thank you, all, so much for coming on. Youre in my Home State of kentucky. And i just can imagine youre, still, like, trying to understand what just happened. Adison, im curious, had the plan to get the vaccine all along . Have you planned to get the vaccine all along . Or was this chance to win a scholarship the deciding factor, for you . I actually got the vaccine in march. So it was before the this opportunity was even announced. So, what was your reaction when they announced your name . I was very shocked. I was speechless. So, david and wendy, what did you think of adison taking part in this lottery . And what kind of relief is it, to you, to know that her College Tuition is, now, covered . Well, um, to say that we are blessed is an understatement. Um, we are so fortunate to live in a state that our governor, andrew bashir, is actually giving opportunities to people that are doing the right thing. And because of that, our daughter is gonna have an opportunity to not have a financial burden when she gets out of college. And she can further her career, and focus on helping others. So, david, what does it mean to you . It well, it means a lot. Like said, the financial burden of it all and just the opportunity that shell get to have. And without the stress of of worrying about the money and the the schooling and all. Its its its a great pleasure and experience, right now, ill tell you. I i can only imagine. I know, as a parent, its like one of the first things you think about, right . How am i going to, you know, send them to college and saving money and so forth. So, i can just only imagine the excitement that you all feel. Adison, do you know where you want to go to school . And and what you plan to major in . Im not sure, on the school, yet. But i do know what i want to do. I want to go to nursing school, and become a flight nurse. Well, thats great. Its thats a big step. To know what you, already, want to do. Thats a big deal.

Well, facebook is now warning users, if someone they know is becoming radicalized. And others are being that they may have been exposed to Extremist Content. Thats what they are being told and guess who just got the Extremist Alert . Congresswoman marjorie taylor greene. And it probably shouldnt come as a surprise. The Georgia Republican is notorious for flirting with rightwing Conspiracy Theory movements. Including qanon. A group the fbi and dhs warn could turn violent, soon. And my next guest is one of the leading reporters covering extremist movements. His latest book is titled The Storm is upon us how qanon became a movement, cult, and Conspiracy Theory of everything. Mike rothschild joins me, now. Nice to see you, mike. Thanks for coming on. What do you make of this latest attempt by facebook to try and root out some of this Extremist Content from the platform . Do you think it will be effective . No, i do not think it will be effective. Facebook is very talented at doing, too little, too late. They could have stemmed the tide of disinformation coming from movements like qanon several years ago. But as we know, from various reports, they didnt want to seem too heavy handed in what they believed would be censoring conservatives. And unfortunately, we ended up with facebook groups full of Conspiracy Theories that led straight to qanon. Which led straight to january 6th. So its a nice gesture. But i think that this is too little, too late. Right. And Wouldnt Qanon believers look at a warning like this and say, oh, this is Big Tech trying to sensor me and i am not going to trust anything they try to warn me of . Absolutely. Qanon believers take any kind of confirmation from bigtech companies or the Mainstream Media as being proof that theyre actually right. That theyre over the target and these companies are panicking, and doing anything they can to stop them from getting the truth out. You know, in reality, this is a this is a bandaid. This is another bandaid for majortech companies who seem to do nothing but put bandaids on these gaping wounds. Im just curious, more generally, is from your research on qanon, the followers. Are certain people more predisposed to become a qanon follower, than others . Have you seen any sort of pattern . I think, what predisposes people to believing in qanon is belief in previousConspiracy Theories. You know, i i like to say and i say this a lot in the book. That qanon is never somebodys first Conspiracy Theory. You know, you dont just wake up one day and think there is a demonic cabal running the world. People come to qanon through things like the Barack Obama BirtherismConspiracy Theory. The Trump Spy Gate stuff. Then, the pandemic, people were coming to it from antivaccine Conspiracy Theories, antibill gates conspiracies. If you were already plugged into that world, qanon really is just the next, natural step in your evolution in your evolution as a free thinker. These gateway conspiracies. Thats so interesting to look at it, that way. So you have the fbi now warning that qanon may, soon, become violent. I should say, some qanon followers, right . Not everyone who follows qanon or believes in it is going to be violent. But basically, this is what they said. Writing the group may seem to hark perceived members of the cabal, such as democrats and otherpolitical opposition, instead of continually awaiting qs promised actions which have not occurred. Do you agree with their assessment that some qanon followers could become violent . Oh, absolutely. There qanon followers have been violent, for years. You know, less than a year after the first q drops, which were in october of 2017, there was an incident where a man named Matthew Wright drove a homemadearmored truck onto a bridge outside hoover dam. He had multiple firearms. He had 900 rounds of ammunition. And he was holding up a sign that said, release the oig report. This was a Qanon Reference to a realinspector general report that, supposedly, only Donald Trump could declassify. That would blow the Lid Off of all the Fbis Corruption and all of the deep States Attempt to stop trump. Since then, you have had multiple murders. Youve had child kidnappings. You have had vandalism. This this movement presents itself as peaceful researchers but they are not. Violent ideation is, absolutely, baked into qanon. It has been, since the very beginning. And we should note, on on the insurrection, january 6th, the fbi identified, i think, it was something, like, 20 followers of qanon who were there, part of the insurrection. You have officials, now, also from the department of Homeland Security telling cnn that they are particularly concerned about this lie that trump is going to be reinstated in august. We know qanon followers are hoping this audit in arizona could be the first step. How concerned are you about whats going on there in arizona . Im very concerned. And the results of whatever is going on in arizona dont mean anything. The only thing that matters is that it will not deliver the prophecy of trump being restored to office. It will not start the dominos falling, that will invalidate all of the states. Now, the Qanon Believers are very good at taking failures, and working them into their prophecy, as just more success that hasnt happened, yet. So, i think, a lot of them will stick with the movement, even when arizona fizzles out. But there will be a point, where it will become obvious that Donald Trump is not going to be president , again. Unless he runs, again, in 2024 and wins. But unless that happens, hes done. He will not be in the oval office, anymore. And at some point, you know, the the chickens do come home to roost with movements like this. And followers take it upon themselves to right the wrongs. We saw it on january 6th. Its so interesting. In their view, they really think that theyre righting the wrongs. And you mentioned, earlier in the conversation, that when Mainstream Media um when tech companies, as they look at Big Tech. When they come out with warnings or say certain things that oppose what they have said, they actually look at that as affirmation of what theyve been saying. So, how do you get through to them . I mean, is how do you pull them out of the delusion . Well, its very difficult. And i write about this, stensst extensively in the book. And i spoke to experts in cult like movements and religious Violence And Everybody told me that it is extraordinarily difficult to get somebody out out of a movement like this. Particularly, when they find something of value in it and its answering those difficult questions that they have. But if you do have a friend or a loved one or family member, who is involved in this. But maybe, starting to waver a little bit. Present yourself as a safe harbor. Someone they can talk to about apolitical things. Things that have nothing to do with the conspiracy. Shared memories, happy experiences you have had together. And then, you can work on it, together, Piece By piece. Figuring out the contradictions and the things that dont make sense. And you can do that very difficult, very exacting work, together. I, also, advise unplug people. Get them away from the constant churn of Social Media. Get out into the outdoors. Play a game together. Do Something Fun that doesnt involve the internet. Even just breaking that cycle of Social Media can even just for a few hours can help start that person down a path of realizing that they have been had. Because Qanon Believers have been had and most of them just dont want to admit it. They have been had. Thats so true. Mike rothschild, thank you so much.

Bill cosbys sexual Assault Conviction was a watershed moment for the me too movement. This week, when the conviction was overturned, that moment was erased. Now some of his accusers are expressing Outrage And Frustration over Cosbys Release from prison. Cnns Jean Casarez has more. Sucker punched. Like the rug was pulled out from underneath us. Dismayed. Enraged. Enfuh infuriated. Stunned. Well, im sad. Im feeling like this is a loss for me and the other women that came forward. Its been hard to see him get away like that and everything he done to myself, he ruined a perfect, innocent girl. Reporter on wednesday, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court reversed bill Cosbys Conviction on charges of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004. The panel of judges said cosbys Due Process rights were violated because the former d. A. , bruce castor, made the decision not to prosecute cosby for his testimony in a civil case. A decade later, another prosecutor used that testimony in a criminal case against him. Constand released a statement, saying the decision is disappointing. Honestly, its, of course, devastating. Reporter shortly after being released from prison, cosby professed his innocence to cnn. Im not guilty. So, when i see what theyre trying to put up and im saying, this is not right. This just sets back victims for wanting to come forward and give their voice. This was a plan, this was a pattern. Im terrified that people arent going to come forward. I would like to say to all the brave victims, even though his conviction was overturned by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, that will always be part of his obituary and that is due to the courage of all of the brave women who testified against him.

You can imagine, 11 armed individuals standing with long guns slung on an Interstate Highway at 2 00 in the morning certainly raises concerns.

The fear was that the hurricane may take the building down for us and take it down in the wrong direction, on top of the pile where we have victims. This pandemic is certainly not over.
