Their right of freedom of speech and assembly and tragically it appears that the checks and balances that normally prevent one branch of the u. S. Government from taking actions like these do not seem to be working at all on friday u. S. District judge Michael Mosley been struck down or going to turn a general Allen Rosenblum request for a temporary restraining order against the federal forces operating in her capital city according to judge mose when the state failed to show that it even has the standing to bring the case forward ruling that the suit involves allegations of harm done to protesters by Law Enforcement but no protester is a plaintiff here. And it is not seeking redress for any harm that has been done to protesters instead it seeks an injunction against future conduct which is also an extraordinary form of relief in other words my friends too bad state of oregon you dont get to protect your citizens from their government today but the twisting of Legal Leaders to justify criminality in the by a lation of rights is not new to the American Experience just ask all those poor souls who suffered torture sorry enhanced interrogation in Guantanamo Bay in those cia black sites all around the world under the Bush Administration in fact the white house the Trump White House has apparently dug up and dusted off mr torture memo himself the one and only john yoo the guardian reports that the Trump Administration has been consulting the former government lawyer who wrote the legal justification for waterboarding on how the president might try to rule by decree. The deployment of secret federal agents to cities across this country is not quasi fascism or authoritarian like my friends no it is fascism and it is authoritarian and that is why we must always be watching. Whats going on a city the streets you want to. See see that this is your state. Rice is crazy see this least systemic dissent says the late show which. Some joke is. Welcome to watch. A robot for. Oil boy image a lot has happened since we last did a live show and i think the biggest news story is this you know because these i guess the Homeland Security agents of the most bunch of other top partment of Justice Agents showing up in cities like portman now chicago seattle and essentially just operating without any regard for due process or any regard for our basic rights and privileges that we have in this country it sounds so unamerican yet it is american as you could possibly get what were seeing right now is a massive amount of federal intervention into something take warning for instance that the federal government have never really been a part up because i think we talked about this earlier graffiti on buildings is not something that the federal government actually comes in for we have a president who is watching his poll numbers take who is watching consistently what appears even in swing states where he had the upper hand just a few months ago because of his response to comit 19 that steadily dwindling and he has seen and noted that the law and order message actually works in america when you create somebody or something for people to fear they become this rally around the flag type of group. And i think that trump is taking advantage of that to the utmost in using these federal forces and making it seem like these cities are so chaotic so out of control that the only person in the only entity that can help save them and bring them back is the federal government is the Top Administration and whats ridiculous is were seeing in the footage here i mean this is from portland whats ridiculous is is the protesters didnt care about the Federal Building until they put a fence around it until the feds showed up and started to tear gassing people until the feds sort of show up and snatching folks off the streets in the middle of the night for you know for basically doing their protesting doing their 1st im practicing their 1st amendment right its also interesting the note that the the department of Homeland Security is in its own bit of hot water because look according to experts chad wolf the acting acting secretary of Homeland Security hes never been confirmed by the senate or congress and he is actually in violation of the federal budget conceives reform act the act clearly states that im acting official can only serve for 210 days hes now held that seat for 200 close to 250 maybe over 250 days he does need i mean can he even be legally his Decision Making has to be now a question because he cant even legally make a decision according to the law he should be out because the child administration has created so many laws and acts like they dont exist because he has 85 percent a point p. Not on appointing rate when it comes to all of the people who are acting in this administration this one is a breaking news story just because of the acts of Homeland Security right now but were going to see you know in the coming days should he extend this should he turn it into something thats more permanent i highly doubt it because the president has touted time and time again he loves his acting people but on that same token its very hard for him in some cases to get certain people approved because not only that they come through not necessarily have the experience they needed but also have some very interesting side note conversations be it whether they are all to racists be aware that theyre antisemitic there are a lot of things that have you know where his switch be appointees would have been extremely problematic and then im going you see. Images like this you know to me this is and. This is a direct result of troops of federal agents you know were not wearing suits you know without insignias grabbing that this is a direct result where that you know and so youre ramping that up and its good it was it was amazing to see people kind of step up when you saw people out with tennis rackets batting you know tear gas back at them you saw people coming in and claim to be like dads you know in the protests with with leaf blowers blowing you know gas bags you know its amazing seeing the response to this kind of thing but at the end of the bay this isnt this isnt cities like i think you pointed out really these are cities that are out of control because theyre already out of control these are cities becoming out of control because of the presence of the feds when you come in and you are being as a lawless as you possibly can youre not you know abiding by human rights or not abiding by these peoples civil rights theyre not getting due process you are treating them however you feel and then theyre disappearing these are individuals who are many times getting locked up theyre not being able to call family brand theyre not being able to even call their attorneys so were watching something happen right now that honestly people who are in the protest to begin with this is what they were protesting you know the whole thing about Police Brutality and the failures of our criminal Justice System from beginning to end in all things in between then you see the federal government come in and basically do all of those things at once and where is my libertarian brothers and sisters where is all those folks who said oh we dont want to press the government we in the 2nd amendment folks who say well weve got to stand up to a present government this is exactly what oppressive government is you cannot change that you cannot deny that this is what its not its not like authoritarianism as i said this is authoritarianism you cant it cant be any more clearer than this and what youre seeing in these images right now across workers across the country. Code 19 cases are on the rise businesses are shutting down again schools parents and elected leaders are wrangling with the health risk associated with in class instruction and sending kids back to school yet Many Americans still seem to be ignoring some of the most basic coronavirus precautions like wearing a mask and social distancing. Granted us President Donald Trump went around for months refusing to wear face masks as he visits factories who state Campaign Events attended roundtables and supported his favorite republican state leaders he even shouted out his support for armed men and women protesting against mass mandates and social distancing but my how the tables have turned and by tables i mean trumps reelection poll numbers his Approval Rating is taking a nosedive and in head to head match ups in swing states trump is trailing his democratic rival were Vice President joe biden as of late trump has started to wear the mask for public facing the vents but photos and videos emerged of him at private fundraisers without a Face Covering and it looks like Many Americans are doing the very same thing despite there being massive mandates to enter Stores Restaurants and bars and several states people are defiant and hefty fines Like Washington d. C. Is 1000 dollars for not wearing a mask are popping up across the country some states and localities even tried to take a much harsher route like indiana where governor eric holder one its a make wearing a mask a class b. Misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail 6 months so much more renewed commitment to criminal Justice Reform lucky for indiana residents members of their own party publicly questioned in criticize the complies ation of not wearing a mask as excessive punishment republican sheriffs even refused to enforce the mandate and with mounting pressure from fellow republicans hope to walk back his push for jail time wheres the wearing a mask is an important covert 1000 preventive measure do these types of mandates and fines go too far. Its hard to say i think maybe right now but i mean down the line i hate to say theres with down the line if things really keep spiraling out of control when it comes to covert then you have to look at it however criminalizing mask wearing is not its one thing for you know a city or state to see you. We need you to wear this its criminalizing its a whole other thing because as you and i both know im sure they wont be out there busting folks in georgetown or in manhattan for not wearing their mass properly theyre going to go into poor communities and theyre going to go into communities that cant afford to pay excessive fines or communities are already been thrown in jail numerous time for idiotic your crimes thats where theyre going to go and youre absolutely correct and this is the exact same thing that happened with social distancing mandates before in the book before the reopening because in places like chicago new york even d. C. What we saw was a lot of patrolling going on in africanamerican and latino communities meanwhile if you go to the wider sides of town those neighborhoods were also throwing parties they were also not social distancing they were not Wearing Masks and there was no penalty for them so what we see consistently is that those fines and fees that jail time it happens for minorities its not something thats equally applied across the board no no and its mere reminds me a lie thats the biggest fear with this kind of thing is the i dont think we should criminalize not Wearing Masks depending on what the situation maybe is its like look like if you go in there without the mask on puts many many lives in danger maybe theres an argument to be made for criminalization of not wearing it in a specific instance maybe theres an argument i dont know but yeah to me this feels a lot like you know the enforcement would be like stop and frisk in new york you know nobodys stopping and frisking to find people carrying drugs or paraphernalia on wall street or what theyre doing down in harlem and. Its just absolutely you know do you believe should jail time be used as a turn for about wearing a mask is that excessive absolutely not jail time should not be used and i would argue that jail time shouldnt be used as a deterrent or anything really what were seeing in this country is this idea and weve seen it for now going on for decades where the strategy has been in order to you know funnel money to counties money funnel money to local government lets just lock people up because they look at it as a sense of this keeps a certain industry. Employee and its pressure rating because it does not do anything we know that it doesnt deter behavior it never has and its not something that only works besides that there is Something Else to be said about there being a social strategy to getting people to wear masks we talked about for years there being a a me generation well were seeing a whole me country we are the only nation on the globe that seems to not understand or not care about why were in facemask is important because were very you know individualistic that you i think you hit the nail on the head with that one thats but whats been one of the biggest problems that we had that american exceptionalism thing so coated you know we deserve this the now this is what happens when you kind of raise a generation of generation now i think the younger generations jonesy more that i think a lot of them are getting it theyve lived through enough from 911 financial crashes over the nose to say lets just be safe but its convincing the older generations were not going to get with a president who only malware is a mask because its politically convenient absolutely when you have the head of your nation deciding that this is all a hoax that he doesnt have to do this that c. D. C. Guidelines throw them all to the wind im going to do whatever i want you can expect the nation not to follow suit he is someone who has to take responsibility for basically being the example for the nation and hes just kind of fallen short of that i couldnt agree more and a lot of other leaders will fall short of that i mean look we need to we need to wear a mask at the end of the day where the mask be safe you know were both tested we both know were clean but when youre out there be safe wear the mask it doesnt hurt anybody it doesnt you know wearing a mask to a supermarket and back doesnt hurt you it prevents people from getting sick and i just wish people would put all their lives outside of their own ahead of themselves.

Who may be going to our little to no business with tom after Barbara Barbara goold list of make it on how plenty off that in this war but i found the network that open question. Toxic toxic masculinity is something women are faced with every single day and if youre a woman of color the barrage of hate attacks and abuse rarely even raises eyebrows among onlookers or those entrusted to protecting america got a front row seat to this level of unmitigated male rage when congresswoman alexandria kazuo cortez was accosted on the steps of the u.
