Everyone. Before 9 11 and, of course, before becoming trumps wing man, a man by the name of Rudy Giuliani made his name from putting mobsters behind bars. He did so, i might add, using the very same laws that are being used against him now. Two decades ago we he actually wrote in his book on leadership, and im quoting, here i dreamed up the tactic of using the federal racketeer influence and corruptions act to prosecute the mafia leadership. Unquote. Otherwise known as rico, for those following along. At the time, the law actually was relatively new. The giuliani, he popularized it making it the model for state and federal prosecutors for decades to come when it comes to large groups attempting a type of conspiracy, including, i might add, fani willis. The Fulton County d. A. Is now charging Rudy Giuliani with several crimes for his efforts to allegedly overturn the election, including racketeering. Now, the rico laws, something that he has, well, he has championed for years. The upper
it s 35th if you do per capita numbers. not close to a record. it s about 100 lower than the record in 1973. i ll make another point. the trump campaign released an attack ad attacking willis and other prosecutors that were prosecuting trump. it included a quote in big text. so far this year, atlanta has nearly 60% more murders. you see that and think, that s terrible. this year must be bad. it shows that this year is actually 2021. that s when there was a giant spike. if you look at the numbers, this year, 2023, about a 25% decline year over year compared to 2022. it s a little odd to talk about a prosecutor and decision about the stats on the crimes that are committed. their role is in part to prosecute and obviously to deter. but it s more of a commission for the police chief. there s more, as they say. he went on.
attack at attacking willis and prosecutors were prosecuting trump and it included a quote in big text. it said so far this year, atlanta has nearly 60% more murders. you see that and think, that is terrible. but if you look at the small, faded print it shows that this year is actually 2021. that is when there was a giant spike. if you look at the number so far, this actually, year 2023 it is about 25% decline year over year compared to 2022. it is always a bit odd to talk about the prosecutor and the stats on the actual crimes that are committed, although the goal is to prosecute editor, but it is for police chief or other policies involved. and that same post, but wait, there is more, as they say. you went on, the thumbs were busy, former president also accused willis of, and this one is very salacious. it is bananas. it is quote, having an
cruise ships the cdc is now monitoring. 91 cruise ships, that is a whole lot of people. vaughn hillyard, vaughn, good luck out there. i hope that travelers are going to, i don t know, not take out their frustration on you if they see you. joining me now, former health policy director for the obama administration dr. kavita patel. dr. patel, thank you for joining us. i want to reiterate for everybody out there, we re seeing this giant spike in cases, you probably know a handful of people at least who are sick right now. employers are having a very hard time keeping staffs in place. that being said, i don t want to lose sight of the hospitalization rate and the death rate, which actually dropped yesterday. yes, katy, i think you re bringing up an important point. we could reach very easily, and i think in reality we probably have a million cases per day in
getting infected not in health care, but in the community. and many of them fortunately are vaccinated and boosted and having a mild infection, and many of them are wanting to come back to work, because the reality is that they are seeing how much strain the colleagues and friends are under, and they want to help. my hat goes off to each and every one of the health care workers, because they are hero and behaving as such right now. amen. they are hero and have been since day one and remain so as we enter the third year. and so, now, look at the case count in boston starting to go down a little bit and the wastewater sampling is showing that in the covid, and the same here in washington, d.c., and you can see the giant spike and starting to trickle down, and in some of the cases omicron is hitting the surging, and them we are starting to see the plateau and decrease, and where are we in the rest of the country, two or three weeks away and do we know? there s differing modeling out t
