Criminal Justice Professor's Journey From Prosecutor to Defender
"Read Barry a little bit about your bio, your CV. You have been doing this for a long time. You have a great background in this for over three and a half decades. Barry latzer was a Professor of criminal justice at John Jay college, a member of the masters and doctoral faculties. He taught courses on criminal justice criminal law procedure state constitutional law, capital punishment, and most recently crime history. You've been written up. You're writings have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, New York Post, New York Daily News. Interesting piece, though, that I picked up Barry was that you were the you were served as an assistant district attorney in Brooklyn in 85 and 86, and you would counsel to indigent criminal defendants in Manhattan. I can't help but think that that was a very interesting experience. So these were folks that couldn't afford defense, right? And you stepped up on their behalf. I know this is sort of a side Barry, but does that inform kind of what you're talking about now? I mean, what did you learn from those people? Sure. I was a professor for most of my life, and I said, you know what? I can't get all of the knowledge I need out of a book. And I asked my chairman at the time, I want to take a leave of absence and I want to go work as a district attorney. And I did. And I did in Brooklyn during the crack years. You can imagine how busy we were. And then after that, I went and worked in Manhattan and I signed up there's a list of lawyers who will serve indigent defendants, people accused of crime, and I worked on that side of the aisle, so to speak,

FTX Bankruptcy Judge Denies Request for Independent Examiner
"Guys, as you can guess from this intro, lots and lots going on today. And I want to start with some late breaking news. One of the big questions in the FTX case has been whether or not there would be an independent examiner appointed. An independent examiner is someone who's brought in in the case of a bankruptcy to get the full facts of the case from a completely neutral party. You'll remember I recently did a show about the independent examiner's findings in the Celsius case and there were some pretty big revelations in that report. In the case of FTX, the U.S. trustee from the Department of Justice has been requesting an examiner. Their argument is pretty simply that the goals of uncovering the full truth about what happened at FTX might not always be aligned with the goals of the new management who are trying to recover as much money as possible for creditors. The U.S. trustee was recently joined by something like 17 or 18 states who filed papers supporting appointment of an independent examiner as well. On the flip side are the new management of FTX led by John Jay ray the third, as well as the official creditors committee. Their argument is also simple that an independent examiner would come with significant costs and duplicate efforts. Ray testified that the independent examiner reports in some other cases where he was in charge of restructuring, cost 90 million to a $100 million and this one could be even more expensive. He also said that when push came to shove, he never really actually used them. adding further complications to all of this have been claims of conflicts of interest with Sullivan and Cromwell who are now the lead lawyers at FTX. In January 4 senators sent a letter to the judge in the FTX case, calling for an independent examiner because of some of those concerns. So to put it mildly, it's been messy. While in a hearing earlier today, a U.S. judge sided with FTX and the creditors, saying that there wasn't any need to appoint an independent examiner who would, quote, conduct yet another costly investigation that would slow the progress of these cases. James Murphy at meta lawman on Twitter writes breaking news on FTX bankruptcy. The FTX judge has denied the U.S. trustees motion to appoint an independent examiner. If this ruling is allowed to stand, there will be no credible investigation of the third parties who may have enabled one of the largest frauds in U.S. history.

"Servants with children in the household because presumably in here on projecting their attention, their focus, their labors were divided. So we have another instance earlier where once he finds out that a female servant has a younger, that he's acquired as a young child. He's like, well, I don't know if this is going to work, because he doesn't really want the child around the house to drain on convenience and focus. And so whether for a combination of moral and practical reasons, he basically banishes Zelda from the house, which obviously the clarinet, this is her only living child. And she is at this point a fairly old woman. So imagine the heartache of this. Child dies as a toddler and clarinda does something incredibly gutsy. She says brings up a back, rather than higher keep hiring other servants, bring zipper back. And she has a person with no leverage, no status. She at this point in her life has no place to go, neither she nor Zelda is literate. And John Jay consulting with his adult children, daughters and sons, decides to bring zipper back. But only because she's suffered this incredible tragedy of losing a child, but still comes back in zilpah, Ben John Jay grants zoppa, her freedom in 1817. Why is that significant? 1817 is when about significant in and of itself because still gets her freedom. But why 1817, two reasons. One, that is actually, he does this right around the time that the New York legislature passes its final Emancipation law, which says, in ten years, from now, in 1827, all formerly enslaved people in the state, whether they were born before or after July 4 1799, will be free. So New York, the state has committed itself to an end to slavery, but John also calculates probably inaccurately what her age is and that her age fits into the existing he had no legal obligation to do so, but fits into the existing gradual Emancipation formula where women at age 25 who have served who are born of female masters that for a gradual Emancipation formula is if you're born of a enslaved mother, you're free and obligated to serve if you're a woman until age 25. And so he calculates and probably an accurately by a year or two that help us about 25 and 1817, so now it's time to grant her freedom. So in other words, he's living by the spirit of the gradual Emancipation process. One of the weird things to us about John Jay is I think actually believes in this formula gradual Emancipation was to us seems so morally compromised and unsatisfying compared to immediate ism to doing freeing people and when you do so doing so right there on the spot. So he frees her in age 25. We don't really know when clarinda got her freedom or how, but in the 1820s census, there are no enslaved people recorded in the John Jay homestead in Bedford, katonah, although Clemens and Zelda are still in the household and clarinda lives until 1837. And then dies in the household and there's another affecting moment where William J writes about how zilpah is really uncomfortable sleeping in the room where her mother died. And he says, so I'm going to let her share a room with the white servants. Just a line. I throw away. I mean, it doesn't make any big deal. I just says that. And it's sort of an echo of you can live with someone. I mean, he seems a little bit, he's like, okay, I'll accommodate this, but he seems a little bit put off or whatever, if that's what she wants. But so by this point, Zelda is an isolated figure. And she remains in the J family census through 1850s the last time you see her on the census, but she lives until 1872, and she's still in Westchester county. And that part of Westchester county. And William J and he is will, said, zolpidem Montgomery because she has acquired a last name. She has a burial plot waiting for her in the Jay family church plot at saint Matthews Episcopal Church. And in 1872, when she dies in the midst of reconstruction, she receives that barrel plot at her headstone is there to be seen to this day. And so the story of enslaved people at Jay family is never separated is never disentangling from this more public story that the book tells that these things are always happening in some sort of dynamic. And I also think that one of the reasons that not the only reason but one of the reasons why the J's are so skeptical resistance to the notion of colonization, this notion that you can't have free black people living amongst the white population. That's not their experience. It's not their desire. And part of that is a class privilege sort of thing, right? They're comfortable being served in black and immigrant and native born labor. So there are a lot of increase in their Irish servants and the J household. What they don't think is that African Americans belongs anywhere else, but America. And on the positive side, and William J increasingly, and John Jay intensely has all kinds of important relationships with black adolescents and black theologians and black activists. So they reject the notion, though they are comfortable with their class position. It's being served by black and white people who are socially farther down considerably farther down the social scale. They don't imagine a world that is monochromatic that is all white that's just not the world they imagine, or that they think is necessary, increasingly, as I say, they advocate for black rights within the church within society in ways that are really challenging to the standing order. There are many other enslaved people's stories in the book, but those are the three that I think stand out most vividly and will stand up most vividly to readers. What do you hope that readers take away from looking at this 200 year plus story of the Jay family and their households? Great question. So you think one, you know, we have lived in a prolonged moment of what some people have called founders chic where we think that if we could just jet ourselves back in time to what the founders thought or the principles of the founders, we could return to some better, clearer way of thinking about solving our problems. Two points about that. One, that's kind of fantasy, right? The founders established a country where they wanted us to be able to think for ourselves not to think have them think for us. But more importantly, I want to point out that the founder's legacy was something that was wrestled with and that was challenging and difficult from the moment that legacy was established and that the J family is a way of seeing that that Peter Augustus day and William J and John Jay the second are wrestling with both the achievement and the limitations of what the founders did with regard to slavery from the get go. Even before John Jay is dead, his children are wrestling with what is our obligation, what are the implications? What are the limitations? What was accomplished? What was not accomplished when both at different moments, both Peter Augustus Jay and William J talk about the sins of the fathers. Peter Gustav does it when John Jay is still alive. He uses this metaphor this image of the sins of the father being visited on the suns. Powerful acknowledgment that the work of the founding was not done. It was incomplete and no more so incomplete than on the issue of slavery and that this is something that actual children of an actual founding father had the courage to wrestle with. They never announced their father. They loved their father. They worked with their father. They thought his political role in the history and as a leader of the family was wonderful. I mean, there's no denying. You can't read their letters and not see that this family is close and tied deeply to John Jay's legacy. But that did not preclude them from finding their own path from not thinking literally, but thinking in terms of principle, like, okay, if the principle is freedom, how do we affect that in our own world? Rather than being hamstrung, limited by the limitations of the founder or the founders we're thinking that they could only go so far and that living in the principles of founders meant to narrowly adhere to their methods with something, particularly William J and John Jay the second cast aside, while never casting aside that this was important. And they were willing to place morality first and the nation state second, particularly William, who said, you know, that John Jay, my father never adhered to the notion my country right or wrong. But that's the wrong kind of patriotism, the kind of patriotism that says, well, we'll follow the flag wherever it leaves. So William J is up passionate opponent of the Mexican war. Where it's a brilliant book about it that goes through many additions, critiquing the Mexican war, not only as a pro slavery war, but from any number of angles. And he says, again, he repeats this phrase when talking about John Quincy Adams and other son of a founder. The notion my country right or wrong is a bankrupt notion that that form of patriotism doesn't work, doesn't stand to scrutiny. So I want us to think about the founding and think about its limitations as well as its achievements. But not in a way that makes us sort of skip past all the intermediate history or the fact that the very sons of at least this founder were not limited in their moral imagination by the fact of their founding legacy and their tie to their founding legacy. So I want people to think about that a lot. I also think the book makes us think a lot about not only I already talked about patriotism, but what we mean by even something term like conservatism. I mean, in many ways, the Jays were in their time through the generations, conservative, but what they sought to conserve or what that allowed them to do, right? To be conservatives, they're not advocating that anyone in the present moment be conservative or liberal. But that conservatism for them did not limit their moral imagination in some ways it animated their imagination. Just like patriotism didn't limit their moral imagination or their political imagination and it enhanced and fueled that. And I want us to think about like that far too often we imagine we have fewer options or that do defend institutions means to defend everything. And I think the Jays are powerful example of people who did not allow themselves to fall into that trap or to be limited by the prestige of their name or their social circumstances or their interests. They participate in The Underground Railroad, something that a lot of Americans have underground railroads a bit of a fantasy for a lot of Americans every American with an older house and a crawl space. And I don't mean to make light once to imagine that they're connected to The Underground Railroad or that everybody was doing it when it was always primarily African Americans and a minority of white people who participated in it. But the Jays, these are people who did both directly and indirectly gave money and William J's case and John Jay the second case did channel people that Stephen Myers are leading black underground railroad operator at Albany. So there's a powerful willingness to defy norms to defy expectations in the name of a greater cause. And those kinds of stories are always important, even or especially when the people are also flawed or have their limitations. You know, if I can get a little bit more abstract at the end of my answer, the only kind of heroes that you're going to get from history are flawed or imperfect ones. But those are the ones we have to learn from because we're flawed and imperfect. Well, this is a great example of the nuts and bolts of how societal change happens. It's not a neat and tidy story, but it's over a long period of time done by multiple people. And there's much more that we couldn't get to in this discussion.

"How you really feel. So I just thought the dissonance between, hey man, your DMs are leaked. We saw exactly how you feel about regulators about ESG. All these things, and then you tweet as if we didn't just all see it, right? You're a public figure. How can you think that we are that dumb that the things you said in DM, oh, those were DMs, I don't actually meet them and then you tweak the thing that is the PR focused front of you in the world. And we're supposed to believe that and not the thing you said in the end, or you thought were private, and although the DMs were not private private, they're still in a more private setting. These showed us who he was. And what, he's going to tweet like we didn't see it. Like, who does he think he is? Anyway, Jen. Is here unraveling. I just am having such a hard time making sense of what's going on. He had such a curated image. He had such a solid story that he told over and over and over again in the media. I don't know what was going on behind the scenes, but I feel like if he was being so open and candid about his thoughts as he was in these DMs with anyone before, we would have found out about it eventually before his company imploded. And so I don't even know what to make of what's happening and his unraveling on Twitter right now. I know he said he, you know, I thought I was talking to a friend and then the journalist wrote that they had had a zoom interview in the summer and then she had reached out via DM not expecting him to answer and here he is pouring out his heart and soul and showing us how he really feels about so many of the issues that we thought he stood for. It is so troubling. I know we just keep saying on this show today. Help me make sense of it. Just help me make sense of what's going on Sam bankman fried because I have no idea what's going on anymore. I don't think that he is being advised by anyone in PR right now. I feel like he's just kind of losing it maybe doesn't know what to do next and so one moment he wants to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth and the other moment he's back to this curated image. I don't know, George, what do you got? Yeah, just an homage or a tribute to John Jay ray, JJ ray the third. SPF has nothing to do with FTX anymore. JJ ray the third, he's the boss now, so whatever image whatever he's portraying out there is no indication of what FTX stands for right now. So just give it a shout out to my bankruptcy guy over there, JJ ray the third. Who cares about PR? Who cares about the year at this point? He's his own man. Like I said, take us to his downfall for sale in man that's price is free. Powered by Elon Musk. Yeah, no, lots to say here, lots to say here. At some point, we'll stop talking about this. And that may be a good thing as FTX looks to rebuild and make some of its depositors whole. But for now, just revelations keep coming out and the level of interest is certainly still high given that new vaccine to be emerging with stunning regularity. But yeah, one day, one day, maybe FTX makes its depositors whole one day, maybe SPF mounts a comeback campaign. Maybe not. One day, maybe crypto moves again toward a more decentralized version of itself that isn't reliant on these big centralized intermediaries, but then again, maybe not. Going to be interesting to see how this all unfolds in the coming weeks, months. And years. This was a big event. Hold your keys. Told you. That's what George says. He's the Bitcoin maxi on the panel right now. He says, hold on. He's not here. He's not your coin. Always good advice, regardless of the asset.

"Just how separate we are, even though we're on the same team, you know? The fact that we have such different retellings of how the season went. 23 players, 23 different opinions about how the merger went. In the circle, several of the girls said volleyball was just the beginning. Why couldn't there be a joint arts program or a theater production for all the schools or an all school prom? For his part, coach salek is still grappling with what winning means. Is it getting to the championships or focusing on making this an equitable experience for everyone? I think I struggled with it throughout the whole season. Winning in competing is ingrained in me, right? In a capitalist society, greedily, I want to have both, but I don't think it's possible. I don't think it's possible yet.

Up until now, the team had been focused on their corner of the merger. How the girls varsity volleyball team had done in this first season of the integration.

"Range of secondary school choices. In the John Jay building, that meant one big school was split into three. I always described it to people as like living in an apartment building, where everybody has their own apartment, but you share common spaces and you're good neighbors and you treat each other with respect and get along. Jill Bloomberg used to be the principal of park slope collegiate, which is on the fourth floor of the building. When she took on that job in 2004, the John Jay building was sort of falling apart. There was paint peeling off the walls. There was water damage from the leaking roof that created crumbling walls and ceilings inside the classrooms. There was either no water in the drinking fountains or only hot water in the drinking fountains. There were rodents, and the lockers didn't close. The bathrooms had not been renovated. It also seemed for decades, the toilets didn't flush, and then in 2010, the Department of Education reached out with some news. Something that would create a big shift. We want to bring in a fourth school. They wanted to add a new high school into the old John Jay building. Its name would be millennium Brooklyn. It would be a sister school to a very prestigious and sought after one in Manhattan. Students would need to apply to get in. And if Jill and the other principles agreed to add this fourth school, the DOE would do what they had been asking for for years. They'd renovate. When the DOE came in, so it is great news. We have all this money for the school, but we're only going to spend it on the building if millennia moves in. Then I was furious with a well of past slights. At this point, in 2010, the three existing schools in John Jay all together had a student body that was just 6% white. 50% were Latino, 36% were black. That's very different from who was expected to come in as millennium students. That sister school in Manhattan was more white, more Asian, and often more affluent. Joe Bloomberg wasn't alone in pushing back. There were parents and teachers and students who also saw it as unfair. We're here already. Here's a student from John Jay talking to WNYC at the time.

Glenda went to John Jay in the mid 90s. It was really hard to be a student in that school. The bathrooms were terrible. The bathrooms were us where most of the bullying happened. I did see a lot of fights in a whole lot of fights. Jungle Jay, they called the school jungle Jay. It was, you know, it was kind of rough. You think that calling the school jungle day and the school that was mostly black and Latin when people of color had racial implications. I mean, when I think about it now, probably the building's history has a lot of, quote, racial implications. And Mariah is one in a long line of students to pick up on them. At one point, in 2001, John Jay high school was struggling so much that it got shut down. Some of the students sent elsewhere and reopened with a new administration. What came next in the early 2000s was the small schools movement, which mayor Michael Bloomberg championed. The idea, which was put into use across the country, was to split up big, unmanageable schools, like John Jay, and turn them into smaller schools with fewer students. So it would be easier for administrators to get a handle on things. Most importantly, we're going to begin giving parents and students a better, wider

Yoram Hazony Explains the Problem of Idolizing Individual Liberty
"Let's talk about the unit of importance. So in sort of classical liberal tradition and in the United States in particular, the idea has been that the individual is the locus of all politics and the locus of all thoughts. So individual rights are predominant, those rights are supposed to be protected by government you delegate your powers to the government in order to protect those rights so far as the government invades those rights, then it is defeated. It's reason for being I mean, this is the sort of basic language of the Declaration of Independence, the world trained on. And so when we speak of freedom and liberty, that's what Americans tend to think of almost instinctively. You are using in that statement the nation or the state as sort of the locus or the tribe as the locus of importance. Which do you think is the level of abstraction that we should be aiming at conserving? Is it the individual? Is it the family? Is it the nation? Is it the tribe? Which level of abstraction is the most important here? Look, I think if you pick one and insist on it, then you end up being kind of like an a dollar and a dollar of the individual meaning somebody who just puts way too much emphasis on the individual or if you pick the nation, it's very easy for that to turn into something that is oppressive. I think that if you look at the American founding, there actually was a balance between jeffersonians and thinkers like Tom Payne, they basically were the left and they had this liberal view. But there was another party. The party of Washington and Hamilton, John Jay, John Adams, governor Morris who basically was the draftsman of the constitution. They were much more conservative. And they did focus on all you need to do is read the preamble to the American constitution. The first thing that they think that they're doing is a more perfect union. That's a nationalist aim. It's not an individual aim. It's an aim of we as millions of people. We have a problem that our union is insufficiently strong. And of course, of course, the blessings of liberty is there, but it's one of 7 aims. It's not the only. And I think that's fundamentally what Americans at this stage need to rediscover. They've got the individual liberty thing. It does bring blessings. But at this point, I mean, I think it's just, it's run out of control. I mean, if you're so far down the individual liberty path that you can't understand why pornography should not be should not be on the smartphone of every 12 year old kid. If you can't understand that, then you're just so deep into the individual liberty thing that you just don't think there are any other values. And that's what we're looking for is to rebalance along with those other values. That's a conservative way approaching these problems.

I'm not saying you got to live your life in a panic or freak out all the time and be like, you know, John Jay Rambo on high alert every 7 seconds, right?

But what if a shooter comes in the front door? Is it a door behind you? I guarantee you there is. Have you seen it? I guarantee you there's a door in that kitchen somewhere to get out in the back. Know where the doors are. Are they crash bars, are they not? Know what you're going to do in the event of a fire. This is a door closed behind you. Is it going to lock you out? And I was when I'm in the back of church. And hate to say it, but given that churches are been a target, I sit in the same place all the time, and I always talk to the guy in the back. He knows me and we both know exactly what to do. You come in that door. I know where I'm going. I know what I'm doing. I don't go anywhere without my gun. You know, I rehearse these things, and you should too. You don't have to live your life in a panic, but it doesn't hurt to take ten seconds to say if this happens, fire or a gunman God forbid, where am I taking my kids? Am I going to push them down? Am I going to fight? Am I going to run? Doesn't hurt. Takes a few seconds of your life. I wish we didn't live in that world, folks, but sadly we do.

And, you know, really kind of hit a little bit of a heart. It's like all the hard work. All the things that had been done over the years by the NYPD to reduce crime just felt like it just kind of went out the window and it was just, it was just it was sad. Maki haberfeld is a former law enforcement officer who studies police science, including staffing trends at the John Jay college of criminal justice. It's not like you get a job and you married to it. You can go and get another job and you are not risking your life and nobody's throwing buckets of water at you and nobody's throwing a lot of cocktails at you. Haberfeld says some are going to nearby departments where the pay is higher and the job is less intense. Others left at the height of the pandemic, or when vaccine mandates barred officers from working if they didn't have their shots. But she says the biggest driving force is a climate in the city that's unfriendly toward police. It's only that much an individual can take, given the fact that we live in times that you can go and get another job. It's not just the NYPD. Recently, ads for departments across the country have popped up in subway cars, urging riders to join the ranks. Haberfeld says many are struggling to recruit and retain officers. I'm on many lists of manipulative organizations. So I get you now maybe 1520 emails a day from various police organizations and associations and I'm just saying an overall sentiment that there aren't enough qualified candidates to join. In New York, some blame reason changes to state bail laws, which have caused frustration among officers who feel people they arrest are being released from jail too quickly. Some also cite a city law that prohibits some types of police restraints, which officers say they need to do their job safely. And they point to the NYPD's low pay compared to many other departments. The starting salary is $42,500. Here's Christina simonson also of John Jay college. Some of our students are more inclined to leave the comfort of New York to pursue a better life. Simonson advises students applying for jobs in law enforcement. She says higher pay outside the city allows some of her students to pursue their passion without sacrificing their quality of life. The starting salary in nearby Yonkers, for instance, is over $72,000. They'll still be able to save money, they'll still be able to afford a home and the other essentials that we look for when we're thinking about our career versus $42,000, that is just to me and not on par with what the job was asking. But simonson says there are still plenty of students who do hope to join the NYPD. Many want to stay close to their families. They want to work for their hometown department. And they want to make it better and more reflective of the communities it serves. They want to be a part of the change, and that has to come from within. So nothing's going to change at the same people are consistently getting these jobs or applying for these jobs. So we have women who are going into law enforcement. We have people of color who are going into law enforcement and want to be there. I want to be the agents of change. The NYPD is growing more diverse. The share of weight officers has dropped by more than 2000 in the last 5 years. Going from about half the police force to about 45%. Meanwhile, the number of Latino and Asian officers in the department has climbed. At the latest academy graduation, the recruits hailed from 38 countries and spoke 34 different languages. They had chosen to join the department even though many of their potential colleagues were leaving. Class valedictorian Amal Ali said she had eagerly accepted the job at the NYPD, even though she could have made more money elsewhere. As you all know, we don't take this job for the money, but rather to protect and serve. The department did not share details on its efforts to hire and recruit more officers. But says it has rolled out a new recruitment campaign and is currently accepting applications. Samantha max, WNYC news. WNYC is supported by Glenn Meade private wealth.

"The streets. Lucas felt their anger. Felt the hard frozen water bottles people threw at him. The destruction was just, it was just unbelievable. And, you know, really kind of hit a little bit of a hark. It's like all the hard work. All the things that had been done over the years by the NYPD to reduce crime just felt like it just kind of went out the window and it was just, it was just it was sad. Maki haberfeld is a former law enforcement officer who studies police science, including staffing trends at the John Jay college of criminal justice. It's not like you get a job and you married to it. You can go and get another job and you are not risking your life and nobody's throwing buckets of water at you and nobody's throwing a lot of cocktails at you. Haberfeld says some are going to nearby departments where the pay is higher and the job is less intense. Others left at the height of the pandemic, or when vaccine mandates barred officers from working if they didn't have their shots. But she says the biggest driving force is a climate in the city that's unfriendly toward police. It's only that much an individual can take, given the fact that we live in times that you can go and get an average job. It's not just the NYPD. Recently, ads for departments across the country have popped up in subway cars, urging riders to join the ranks. Haberfeld says many are struggling to recruit and retain officers. I'm on many lists of manipulative organizations.

Florida Was an Unbelievable Success Story During the Pandemic. Why?
"So Florida was an unbelievable success story. During the pandemic. By remaining open and defying federal government, pressure, Ron DeSantis, the courageous Ron DeSantis was able to keep Florida free, businesses from closing down. He was able to taper and hedge against mental health issues, depression, suicide, social isolation, alcoholism, Florida became kind of a Beacon of liberty and hope, and you see it with the real estate values around here. You see it with the new businesses that are moving here. It's almost synonymous with self government. Ron DeSantis deserves credit and Ron DeSantis has received some incredibly well earned praise for doing this. But the question is, why was he able to do it? The reason is in the structure of our government. We talk a lot about the United States Constitution here on this program. And James Madison, in the federalist papers, argued that the structure of the constitution was one of its defining elements. James Madison Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, the three authors of the federalist papers and one of the three most involved in designing our constitution, James Madison being the most involved. Why is America able to be free not because of our Bill of rights every banana republic has a Bill of rights? No, the structure of checks and balances and consent of the governed. Allows a bottom up structure, a grassroots centric way of governing.

You're About to Live Through the Greatest Citizen Movement of a Generation
"The founders believed, and this was explicitly written in Alexander Hamilton, John Jay's, James Madison's private journals, that only God should be able to have the executive legislative and judicial authority. This is why they intentionally separated everybody. They separated it because they believed that no person on this planet should have that much authority. But they realized that the true immediate authority needs to be invested in all of you. This is one of the great dangers of these independent regulatory agencies of people that are largely untouchable that run these bureaucracies in D.C. of which you've never met them, they're unelected, unknown and have almost unaccountable power. But the trajectory of 2020, that were on, if we keep it up, if you keep on praying, fasting, showing up to events, showing up to school board meetings, running for office, if you feel so compelled, consuming news and information, knowing it's happening around you, even though it might be slightly depressing at times, is that you're about to live through the greatest, most unexpected citizen movement in a generation. Let me say that again. You're about to live through one of the greatest cities that all of a sudden they're going to look back and they're going to say when it seemed the bleak and it seems so negative and so dark and it was led by the church. I really believe that's where it all comes down to.

September 17, 1787: The History Behind This Significant Day
"Today is a day that every single child in school should take pause and be leads through and told the great american story of how we got here. Today is a beautiful day. There's a lot wrong with our country right now and i wanna take a pause to remember what happened on this day in seventeen. Eighty seven september seventeenth. Seventeen eighty seven was one of the most significant days in human history. It was definitely one of the most significant days in political history. Almost never before had this idea of self government been tried. The romans tried it in some capacity and failed and eventually became an empire. The greek strident and city states. But never before. Did a people attempt to embark on a form of government. We're the people were the sovereign. The idea of self government independent judiciary the ideas of freedom and equality in the rule of law that are the ultimate principles to build that society.

"The small body of national troops which has been judged necessary in time of peace is effectively kept up badly paid infected with local prejudices and supported by irregular and disproportionate contributions to the treasury. The impossibility of maintaining order and dispensing justice among the sovereign subjects produced the experiment of dividing the empire into nine or ten circles or districts of giving them an interior organization and of charging them with the military execution of the laws against delinquent or condemnations members. This experiment has only served to demonstrate more fully the radical vice of the constitution each circle is the miniature picture of the deformities of this political monster. They either failed to execute their commissions or they do it with all the devastation and carnage of civil war. Sometimes whole circles are defaulters and then they increase the mischief which they were instituted to remedy we may form some judgment of this scheme of military coercion from a sample given by through on us. In done of of free and imperial city of the circle of swabia the abbaye descent. Qua- enjoyed certain immunities which had been reserved to him in the exercise of days on some public occasions. Outrages were committed on him by the people of the city. The consequence was that the city was put under the ban of the empire. And the duke of bavaria. Though director of another circle obtained an appointment to enforce it. He soon appeared before the city with a core of ten thousand troops and finding it a fit occasion as he had secretly intended from the beginning to revive an antiquated claim on the pretext that his ancestors had suffered the place to be dismembered from his territory. He took possession of it in his own name disarmed and punished inhabitants and ria next the city to his domains. It may be asked. Perhaps what has so long kept disjointed machine from falling entirely to pieces. the answer is obvious. The weakness of most of the members who are unwilling to expose themselves to the mercy of foreign powers the weakness of most of the principal members compared with the formidable powers all around them the vast weight and influence which the emperor derives from his separate and hereditary dominions and the interest he feels and preserving a system with which his family pride is connected and which constitutes him the first prince in europe. These causes support a feeble and precarious union whilst the repellent quality incident to the nature of sovereignty and which time can actually strengthens prevents any reform. Whatever founded on a proper consolidation. Nor is it to be imagined. If this obstacle could be surmounted that the neighbouring powers would suffer a revolution to take plays which would give to the empire the force and preeminence to which it is entitled foreign nations have long considered themselves as interested in the changes made by events in this constitution and have on. Various occasions betrayed their policy of perpetuating. It's anarchy and weakness if more direct examples are wanting poland as a government over local sovereigns might not improperly be taken notice of nor could any proof more striking be given of the calamities flowing from such institutions.

To the people of the state of new york an objection of a nature different from that which has been stated and answered in my last address may perhaps be likewise urged against the principle legislation for the individual citizens of america. It may be said that it would tend to render the government of the union too powerful and to enable it to absorb those residuarity authorities which it might be judged proper to leave with the states for local purposes allowing the utmost latitude to the love of power which any reasonable man can require. I confess. I am a loss to discover what temptation the persons entrusted with the administration of the general government could ever feel to divest the states of the authorities of that description. The regulation of the mere domestic police of state appears to me to hold out slender allurement to ambition. Commerce finance negotiation and war seemed to comprehend all the objects which have charms for minds governed by that passion and all the powers necessary to those objects ought in the first instance to be lodged in the national depository the administration of private justice between the citizens of the same state the supervision of agriculture and of other concerns of a similar nature. All those things in short which are proper to be provided for by local legislation is therefore improbable that there should exist a disposition in the federal council's to your surp- the powers with which they are connected because the attempt to exercise those powers would be as troublesome as it would be nugatory and the possession of them for that reason would contribute nothing to the dignity t to the importance or to the splendor of the national government. But let it be admitted for argument's sake that mere wanted nece and lust of domination would be sufficient to beget that disposition..

Vaccine Distribution: An Equity Challenge
"Okay paying we are talking vaccine equity in the pandemic and just a quick note. We are focusing a just here in the united states for this episode. So let's start with some top line numbers three covid. Nineteen vaccines have been authorized for emergency. Use in the us one very recently. How many people have actually been vaccinated so far well. Since vaccine distribution started in mid december around fifty million people have gotten at least one dose of a covid nineteen vaccine that includes about twenty five million people who got into doses means they've been fully vaccinated with either the pfizer or madonna vaccines. And that's some real progress over the past few months. Still just around eight percent of the total. Us population has been fully vaccinated. So there's still a long way to go. yeah i mean. Do we have any demographics on who the people who got the vaccine are like. Do we have any data on race or ethnicity well. Last week i spent some time at a cdc conference which was online and a bunch of public officials talked about it including dr marcela nunez smith who we heard from earlier. People of color are getting vaccinated rates below their representation in the general population. We know these challenges reflect longstanding deeply rooted systemic rallies. But here's the thing. The data that she's talking about is still pretty limited. You know so far race. Nothing to see. Data have only been collected for about half of the shots given out. Wow only half the thought i mean. There's a little bit frustrating. That's that's not enough data. Yeah it's it's really not and the biden administration pointed this out themselves and they acknowledged that it's pretty abysmal. Doctor rachelle will lansky. She's head of the centers for disease control and prevention and she says the problem is coming from a couple of different directions. Individuals may choose not to report. It may not be required of or requested by providers and some providers as well as jurisdictions have restrictions on data sharing so some of these data gaps are due to the fact that we have inconsistent systems around data gathering. Which you know is something that has been in quite a bit with this pandemic. Yeah that's certainly part of it and there's reasons why people might not want to share their personal information about race ethnicity especially people of color you know. The federal government has a long history of exploiting and under serving minority communities and that extends to this day but now there are government officials saying that. It's up to them to try and convince people that it's important to give their information. Here's neurath shaw. Health official in the state of maine in public health. What gets measured gets managed and if we measure the right things then we will manage the right issues if we measure the wrong things. Then the did that we collect. That may not bear resemblance to current present. Elf challenges is actually what we will end up managing. Yeah so early. On in fact vaccine distribution the only metric that was available was the number of doses sent out in the number of doses administered which basically measured speed and so if the biden harris administration wants to achieve both and equity with axiom distribution. They're going to have to get more comprehensive data on race ethnicity to get a handle on the problem. Yeah i mean. I want to talk about what the biden administration is doing specifically to address this issue of a vaccine but first let's talk about some of the ways. The general rollout has put. Vulnerable communities added disadvantage. Because that's definitely happening. Yeah and to be honest. It's been hard for everyone including health reporters to keep up with the changes that are happening. Daily and weekly with axiom distribution. I mean every single state has its own rules about who qualifies and had a sign up. Obviously that confusion is compounded. If the information isn't coming to you in the language you speak or you don't have access to computers and email and even for people who may have read up on how to book an appointment. It's taken them hours to actually research in book one. So if you don't have time to figure that out and if you don't have access to transportation or time off work to get an appointment and was places you probably haven't been able to get vaccinated yet. Yeah i mean and that's when you know for sure that you want the vaccine. Exactly dr christian rumors. He's a physician and executive that family health centers of san diego. He points out that people also have questions that are very specific to their own circumstances and we want those answered before they feel like they can make an informed decision to actually get vaccinated. Here he is speaking to. My colleague yuki noguchi residency is not just one thing. And in many cases. They're very unique to their own situation. Like i just got treated for cancer. Or i'm on a certain medication or i've had an allergy in the past and those are questions that'll be answered most likely from talking one on one with a medical professional or some other trusted person. Which again if you're part of an underserved community is hard to access. If you don't have the time to seek out those answers it'll be much easier if the vaccines and the resources were coming directly to you right right okay. So ping what has the biden administration specifically announced or done to address vaccine equity so at that. Cdc conference. dr marcellina smith acknowledged that this is a huge issue. And it's not gonna be easily solved. Must attend the underlying social structures arborist as we look ahead to building resilience into our recovery. What we do believe now. Is that the way we get american vaccinating and the emphasis he placed reaching the hardest hit communities attached just as important as being the goals the number of people that's needed so their strategy to get to those goals basically amounts to increasing a couple of different things number one the number of vaccines available number two the number of people giving vaccines and number three. The number of places people can get vaccinated and specific to equity. They've launched a few fema supported mass vaccination sites. These are huge operations set up in stadiums and parking lots that are aiming to give at six thousand shots a day and they're putting some of these in places that score high on something called the social vulnerability right which is a cdc measurement of how vulnerable community is based on social factors like poverty for example. They've also started sending vaccines directly community health centers which serve around thirty million people over. All many whom are rural belong to minority groups or are low income and the centers can also offer outreach in different languages and support for signing up. I mean are they also leaning on non-medical sites to i mean like i know working with community leaders and partners be especially effective. Yeah well they're also talking about sending out that nation trucks to job sites and setting up clinics and local churches and high school gyms and ymca's those non-medical sites that you were talking about and these community clinics might not be serving thousands of people a day but they will make the vaccine available and convenient for people in those communities to get gosh so the vibe administration is really trying to take a both and approach. They're supporting mass vaccination sites to get a lot of people vaccinated quickly and they're also realizing that some people will take more time and more effort to reach so they're also trying to figure out ways to gather better data and target underserved areas. Okay so you know. Most of what we've been talking about today paying as the government is handling this which i would argue is the most important facet but i mean. Is there a sense of individual responsibility here. I know there are a bunch of stories out there about people line jumping or like going into communities outside their own to vaccines how we have all heard the stories and it's hard to say how much it's happening but it does make people feel like the system isn't working you know and what bioethicists have said to me is. That cheating happens for sure but it's probably not happening enough to undermine the system overall i mean. Is that all kind of a short term problem. I mean there's a huge demand right at this point and not enough supply but the hope is that you know in the coming weeks or months the situation will change as vaccine manufacturing and distribution ramp up even further right. Yeah and that's been the hope all along. I mean for weeks now. We've been hearing about a flood of vaccines that will be coming online in the near future. That will make it less. Cut throat to vaccine appointment and we're not there yet but there are some promising signs. The government has now ordered a total of six hundred million doses of pfizer in modern of vaccines to be delivered by the end of july. Which is enough to cover three hundred million people and that's more than all the adults in the us right right. Plus we've got the newly authorized. John jay vaccine which will eventually make a difference right and getting all these shots in urgent right now because we're kind of in a race between vaccinations and variants. Which means that. The more people protect right now. The fewer people will catch the virus and the fewer chances the virus will have to keep mutating in ways that might make it avai the vaccines and the treatments. We've developed so that's why it's still super super important to keep the other measures that prevent the virus from spreading double masking staying physically distant. You know we're all excited about vaccines but health. Experts are saying right now that in the middle of the vaccination campaign is not the time to let up our guard okay pingpong we appreciate you as always thank you for coming on the show things so much.

That looks at food through the lens of science and history. I'm cynthia graber. And i'm nicola twilley and this episode. We're taking a spin around the dial which sounds medieval but believe us when we say. Tv's used to not have remotes. You had to literally spin odile. Even i barely remember those wild and wonderful days. This episode is supported in part by cabot. Creamery cabot is a co-op of new england and new york dairy farmers who make award winning cheeses with pure rich milk straight from family farms their specialty cheeses include unique flavors like roasted garlic cheddar and their team of cheese graders indirect with every batch to ensure award-winning quality.

You'll also find pairings how to videos and delicious comfort food recipes like the best mac and cheese and more the first thing to know about the very earliest food. Tv wasn't actually on tv. It was on the radio almost as soon as a radio came into being in the nineteen twenties in the us food radio came into being. It was a really easy way for programs to be created because they were easy and cheap. They were obvious outlets for advertising for sponsorship for food products and appliances. So that's where we saw food before. Tv was even a twinkle in the eye. Kathleen collins is a librarian and professor at john jay college of criminal justice and she's the author of the book watching what we eat. The evolution of television cooking shows the stars of these very first food shows. Were hardly stars in today's cents. These radio shows were unglamorous. It was all teaching housewives. How to economize and optimize and generally do all their chores. Better one of the not remotely. Glamorous stars was a woman named and sammy who we can only imagine was supposed to be the wife of uncle sam which is kind of disturbing. She wasn't actually a person. It was a program delivered by an arm of the. Usda and the she was not just one person but several different actors around the country. Adopting regional accents similarly a figure. That's much more well known was betty crocker. She actually started on the radio and like aunt. Sammy was played by many different actresses and she was one of the first we. Could i guess call her one of the first cooking teachers in broadcasting And we have some fun you one for. You are cooking lessons. This week is on some new christmas cookies. And besides that with sending seven ethically recipes to order numbers of schools who had indicated that they want the wednesday menu ambassador. I hope you'll be sure to watch for them on. Sammy's show was called housekeepers. Chat and betty crocker's was the slightly more enticing cooking school of the air. That sounds as though it was all about meringues and souffles and all things fluffy which it decidedly was not and then the very first television station came into being in the nineteen twenties though at the time the technology was still super experimental and people did not have. Tv's in their homes yet. Even as late as nineteen fifty only nine percent of american homes had a tv set. Foot made the jump to tv before. Tv even made the jump to people's living rooms so more megan was thirst. Tv shafran her snapple titled Tv show was called suggestions for dishes to be prepared and cooked in fifteen minutes and that demonstrated single ring. Cookery back in hundred thirty six. This is julie smith. She's a food writer. And podcast and the author of a new book called taste and the tv chef and she's british so i will translate for her single ring. Cookery means the kind of thing you can make on just one burner in your bed. Sit which is british for a studio apartment. Thanks for the cross pen translation of my uses as well as my bizarre accident. True also interesting. Megan was doing this. Fifteen minute meal about eighty years. Before jamie oliver's tv show and book of the same title. We have a picture of her filming her show dressed in. What looks like a raincoat on our website. Glamour personified where was i but by the nineteen forties food. Tv show started showing up for real in the us to the shows were cheap to produce and they were sponsored by kitchen and food companies and they were pretty boring. It was a very practical probably rather dry and yet a lot of the airtime was filled with these programs in different markets around the country. These shows obviously targeted at women most. Tv's at the time. Were actually in public places rather than homes especially bars where there weren't a lot of housewives. There was a show actually the first national televised. Tv show was james beard and it started in the mid nineteen forties and despite everything i just said about how most of the tv shows and the radio shows were led by home. Economists james beard was not a home economist. He was a gourmet and he was really all about the food and so it was a little strange to have this show on. Tv in a bar being watched by men james beard was kind of a one off for a long time but still here we go right off the bat you can see a gender divide in food tv women were the ones who were proper and teaching viewers had cook the man a ormond. Just appreciate food for food. Food was a chore for women and a pleasure for men until the only lucas came along. So diani lucas. Like james beard was a bit of an anachronism. She was a cordon bleu trained chef. Who was born in. Britain came from a very artistically oriented family. Do you only had a restaurant and cooking school in new york and she treated the kitchen as her art studio. it was her serious creative outlet. Her recipes were complex and mostly french. And they took a lot of time to make she was also kind of a taskmaster her british accent and her scraped back hair and she did not cut corners. But kathleen says the. Tony did occasionally have a little sparkle in her eye. Like when she told viewers to use as much rama's they liked or needed in their cribs. Suzanne that show was on the evening and prime time and it ran from nineteen forty seven until nineteen fifty-six but she was kind of ahead of her time. I would not be surprised if many of your listeners have never heard of the oni lucas. She just came along at the wrong time for the public. Viewing audience at diani did have a big influence on one particularly important person. Julia child the french chef. I'm doolittle she was a california girl. She was not a spy for the cia before being cooking show guru as many people think she was a research assistant at the oh s the precursor to the cia but she was really one of these happy accidents. She married paul child who had a foreign service assignment. in france. They moved to france and she fell in love with food. And she got herself trained. You know at the core blows school which was really challenging as a woman and she just became. You know a master in nineteen sixty one. Julia published a book with two other. Women called mastering the art of french. Cooking it is eight home and that seven hundred fifty. Two page book provided the kick. That landed julia in front of millions of viewers happen was. Julia was doing the rounds promoting her book and she'd been invited onto a book show hosted by a local professor on w. g. b. h. Which is the boston public. Tv station and she decided she didn't want to just talk with the professor. She wanted to cook. She wanted to teach him how to make a proper french omelette. The professor wasn't a particularly skilled cook in this live tv cooking class but people wrote into the show after it aired. They called julia a hoot and the producer thought. Julia was incredibly well-spoken so gbh gave her her own show. It would eventually become the french chef. The show was a huge hit. It was on national. Tv for three decades and it not only made julia household name but it also kind of launched the modern era of food

'The Writing On The Wall' Finds Poetry Behind Bars, Projects It Onto Buildings
"The wall takes the words of incarcerated people beyond prison and jail walls. The project began small but gained new visibility through projections of the writer's words on the sides of buildings in the U. S and Mexico. John Kayla's reports that it is a collaboration between a conceptual artist, a college professor and those whose words they want to share. Devon Simmons served 15 years in New York prisons lens hanging off the tree limbs. Skeletons of these two range in strange fruits with strong braided brownstone. Intrigued by envy, he reads from a poem by Carl Burn hard that is part of the writing on the Wall Project. Simmons graduated from the prison to college Pipeline program, which included a seminar with artist Hank Willis Thomas, one of the co founders of the writing on the Wall. Speaking via Skype, Thomas says working with his incarcerated students sparked the idea of sharing their creative output with those on the outside is a eureka moment. Look at all the wisdom look at all the heart that is imprisoned in our society. There was a huge hypocrisy or irony that I thought we could and should be focusing on There was so much poetry and there just so much beauty drawings, thoughts so much reflection of humanity. That's Bozz Dries ing, the other co founder of the writing on the wall. She also founded the Incarceration Nations Network, a coalition of prison reformers, and she teaches English at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Technically, I was teaching English classes. But really, I was teaching criminal justice through the lens of humanities. And that to me is what the writing on the wall is. The idea for the project came winds rising. There show Thomas some of the writing she's been given by incarcerated people. Two enlisted architects to design mobile installation move that resembled a prison cell with the words of the incarcerated on the walls, floor and ceiling. The idea was to take the booth two cities around the U. S and Canada. But after it's New York debut, the tour was cancelled by the pandemic in prison by covert Bye, Mr Roland Davis. We were taken over by a virus, more cities in any terrorist attack. As the days and weeks turn into months, Americans locked themselves into their homes and fear of what was to come. We? We had to lock inside our cages because it was the safest place for us to be. With the tour cancelled. The organizer's got the idea of projecting those words on public buildings, often ones that are part of the criminal justice system. They enlisted a company called Chemistry Creative to come up with a projection system. The last installation was at Brooklyn Public Library Standing outside chemistry. Creative producer Sidney McDonald describes the first projection. Nobody was out on the streets. There was still very strict fans on everything being closed, and nobody actually really sawed in really life besides the people who were there, but the projections on but since then the writing on the wall has been Seen in Detroit, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Washington, DC Columbus, Ohio, in Mexico City again or just Hank Willis Thomas. There is nothing that Eisen artists or anyone could really do or say that was more extraordinary. Them things that these artists were doing as you say. I talk about those artists, and some of them had not thought about themselves artists, but it was clear that they were. One of those artists is divine Simmons, who is now working as a paid curator and tour guide for the project. If you take the time to actually read some of the material is in the installation.

that are running for office and put them to the children they are what is their character like what is there what are their ethics are they willing if they are elected to represent all their constituents not just the base and joining me now is democratic senator Cory Booker of New Jersey senator Booker welcome back to meet the press you call this moral moment for this country but these protests are also trying to spur more than just awareness they're trying to spur a policy change will be more confident in that we're meeting a moral moment or that will actually lead to changes in our policy will be the same in fact when I look at everything from the suffrage movement to the labor movement in this country it's always been the people in the streets often young people who have demanded and forced a change in consciousness that made policy changes possible working all week with Kamel Harris and allies in the house to get real policies proposed and will be releasing a bill tomorrow for things that should have been done in this country a long time ago banning certain police practices creating deeper accountability and so I'm just grateful to see this kind of nonviolent protest outpouring the streets because they are leading their putting the pressure they're creating a possibility that our policies can reflect the spirit of this country that we can be in the law a more beloved nation you know you're you have a unique set of experiences you've been a mare you're a federal office holder in the Senate where should most of this change be enacted on the local level or or on your on the federal level I'm it's got to be enacted on every level we are a society where we are culpable we have created a nation distinct from any other on the planet earth we incarcerate the plurality of human beings incarcerate one out of every three women on the planet earth they are incarcerated or here in America we've taken so much of our treasure between the time I was in law school two time I once mayor we were building a new prison or jail every ten days and explicitly and implicitly we all have made a decision that we're going to treat mental illness with prison jail and police addiction with prison jail improve police poverty with prison jail and police and overwhelmingly African Americans with prison jail and police we now in America have more African American men under criminal supervision then call the sleeves of men that were slaves in eighteen fifty this is astonishing this is unacceptable we need to be more Regis in our compassion for one another more more ambitious in our imagination that we can create a society that's not so over policed or where police we don't tolerate certain tactics that have had a generation in fear you said at the beginning of this that eighty plus percent of Americans think this country's out of control well for black people in this country we thought this country's out of control in the way police is our communities and individuals for a very long time in this awakening is so important to create real substantive change not just lip service from politicians tell us something tell me how you're thinking is change being a mare at one point you thought you didn't want the federal government that you thought some of the oversight over the New York police department at the time and in different ways you even braced it since what did you learn over time about this issue well it shows the insidiousness of institutional racism well we are a majority black city in New York we had a majority black city council black mare black police chief and we knew we inherited a a police department with decades of challenges and so we went to work when I got into office to reform our police department but we didn't have the data we didn't have the transparency and it took the federal government and their accountability in their systems and data analysis to show that we were not moving as fast as we should and so we took on a very ambitious plans that extend from everything from changing our missile court system with drug courts and veterans courts and youth courts to pulling in experts from John Jay college just say you don't have to arrest people to create safer neighborhoods that there are other ways to go and I partnered with the ACLU before I left to set a national standard a collection of data collection practices so I learned the hard way that this is not a system that is always explicitly done by over racism this is a system that's real bait that we all have to take responsibility for and get practice it is bad to like a you're gonna see in the bill we're gonna release but just give greater transparency and greater accountability for those working with police I want to ask you about de funding the police last night in Washington DC on sixteenth street right next to the black lives matter letters the phrase deep on the police was painted down there and that is there's a lot of passion around that issue and when you hear that and the phrase may mean different things to different people but when you hear that what's your reaction I understand clearly the sentiment and the substance behind the slogan and so well thought slogan I will use are your people just dismiss it and don't get deeper into the substance as I said earlier it is not a mark of a beloved community to prey upon the most vulnerable and your society we are using police and fire a guy ran police departments I would have exhausted police officer saying why are we using police to deal with the fragility or vulnerability of our society there's so much money going into our police departments there is a more expensive way to deal with it I remember being surprised in Seattle with a housing group called Plymouth housing where they showed me a data analysis where they look at what was more expensive for society gifts providing supportive housing for Americans with mental illness that were homeless or leaving them on the streets and they found out they were of the same Seattle millions of dollars bite giving people supportive housing because homeless people left on the streets with mental illnesses end up in hospital emergency rooms and jails and and so this is the outrageous but I think people on the streets are feeling and that I share is that we are over policed as a society that we are investing in police which is not solving problems but making them worse when we should be in a more compassionate country in a more loving country I know love is at the core of our ideals but it needs to be made manifest in our policies we would actually spend less money we would elevate human dignity and human potential and we would set a standard on the planet earth for how we treat those who are vulnerable as opposed to what we're seeing right now center when you're running for president you were quite critical of of former vice president Joe Biden and you question whether you question whether his past whether he had the credibility given his record on some of these issues to to be a reformer on this where are you now well I'm fully you have to put my faith in a Joe Biden to be the

want to say to them with all sincerity stay on the streets near nonviolent protest state demanding change and I think that Joe Biden's election can do that and look Donald Trump can't center himself in this this this is such a bigger moment than him this is not a referendum on one person in one office this is a referendum on who we are as Americans and who are going to be to each other this is a moral moment will we become a more loving and compassionate society not with our rhetoric but with our laws in a rule is and how can I treat the most vulnerable and so this is that moment that I think Joe Biden can be the president for but the responsibility is not on any individual it's on

Dozens of other contracts across the United States contain provisions that stymie efforts to hold cops accountable for violence and other alleged abuses, compounding the challenge citizen, seeking justice, a US legal doctrine called qualified immunity, an investigation last month found that the contempt created and reinforced in a series of US Supreme Court rulings increasingly shields from civil liability offices who are accused of using excessive force. You have immune police officers who are beyond punishment because of their union contract as well as constitutional law said Gloria Browne Marshall a professor at John. Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. That combination leads to an arrogance of a police officer who can kill a man in broad daylight while being taped and believe he can get away with it. The Union contract and the qualified immunity doctrine play a role in bouldering. Some police officers to commit abuses.
