Today's Headlines: The New York Times revealed Hamas's secret police in Gaza, overseen by leader Yahya Sinwar, has been surveilling Palestinian civilians' political activities, online presence, and personal lives. The General Security Service, part of Hamas, acts as a government intelligence agency, using informants to monitor dissent, following individuals to check for infidelity, and censoring criticism on social media while promoting Hamas's messages. Meanwhile, President Biden signed legislation banning Russian imports of enriched uranium to cut off a significant revenue source to Russia amid the Ukraine invasion. Enriched uranium is a main fuel for US nuclear power plants, with Russia supplying about 20% of it, costing American companies around $1 billion yearly. The legislation also unlocks $2.7 billion for domestic uranium enrichment. In Defendant Donald updates, Michael Cohen testified in Donald Trump's trial about his involvement in concealing affairs. Cohen described Trump's motives and actions regarding Stormy Daniels' payment. Additionally, new reports suggest Trump could owe the IRS $100 million due to questionable tax practices. Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves signed a bill prohibiting transgender individuals from using public school bathrooms that match their gender identities. Lastly, six US airlines are suing the Biden administration over new transparency rules on flight fees, claiming they would confuse consumers.

Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves joins Meet The Press to discuss the expected overturn of Roe v. Wade. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel talks about the state's response to the news. Legal experts and former Supreme Court clerks Jennifer Mascott and Neal Katyal discuss the leak and the effect overturning Roe will have on the court. Ali Vitali, Josh Gerstein, Sara Fagen and Kimberly Atkins Stohr join the Meet the Press roundtable.

First, Jake goes one-on-one with GOP Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves about the so-called "trigger law" in his state that would ban all abortions, except in cases of rape or to save the mother's life, if Roe v. Wade is overturned. They also discuss Mississippi's high rate of infant mortality, child poverty, lack of paid maternity leave and its troubled foster care system. Next, Jake gets Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's reaction to the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion on overturning Roe. They also discuss what Democrats are doing to oppose this potentially seismic shift for abortion access in the US, as well as her accusation that the conservative members of the court lied about their stance on abortion rights during their confirmation hearings. Was it perjury? After, Jake interviews US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield about Russia's nuclear threats ahead of its ‘Victory Day' celebrations, as well as the intelligence the Biden administration is supplying to the Ukrainian military on Russian targets. Finally, Jake and the panel discuss the potential impact of the Supreme Court deciding to overturn Roe v. Wade and what that could mean for the future of other landmark decisions, including same-sex marriage. On today's panel: Editor-in-Chief of The Dispatch Jonah Goldberg, Democratic Strategist Hilary Rosen, President of the Judicial Crisis Network Carrie Severino and CNN Political Commentator Bakari Sellers.

Listen to our archived episodes: RadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube Support the show: Patreon|PayPal: 1x or monthly|Square Cash * Kagro in the Morning is recorded before a live audience. Well, I'm not sure about today. No Diet Coke pops, microwave pings, or gas range sparks to be heard on today's broadcast, but David Waldman sounds pretty healthy. QAnon does have a hard time finding living people who don't think they're idiots, so many spent the day at Dealey Plaza searching for dead Kennedys and ended up at a Rolling Stones concert. Those are the kind of people running for office nowadays. At least 10 GQP who were at the Jan. 6 insurrection were just elected to office. More will be coming in 2022, although a few, such as “too blond for jail” Jenna Ryan, need to spend a few days in jail before establishing their PACs. DURR! Ed Durr, Republican truck driver, deep thinker, represents those people taking over the country. Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves won't let this new generation out-imbecile him without a fight, and will sue President Joe Biden over one of his vaccine mandates. (Guess which one.) Ron DeSantis is assembling his new election crimes police force as a brilliant countermove to Roger Stone's ambitions. Ron's suppression of university professors has turned out to be less brilliant. A Texas radio host bilked elderly listeners out of millions of dollars, and will be sentenced to 3 life prison terms… at 80 years old… most of his victims dead… most of the money spent. A cautionary tale that Donald Trump is certainly taking to heart. Trump will be in his 90's before justice reaches him. A federal judge said she'd rule "expeditiously" on whether Donald can keep his records from the January 6 committee. If Donald Trump truly believed he had “Executive Privilege” he'd have had the Air Force drone strike a few places by now.  Virginia Democrats did all the right things for voter's rights, and this is the thanks they get? Hey now! You can't say that trash about Loudoun Democrats! If Loudoun county were a state, you can bet they'd have a way different governor right now. Not everybody can be the smartest people, you know. The Bolivian president, Luis Arce, at the UN Climate Change Conference, said the solution to the climate crisis is to change the model of civilization and move towards an alternative model to capitalism, the concept of living well together in harmony with Mother Earth. Oh well.

More people are dying than being born in Mississippi and their governor doesn't care. MAGA protestors are considered crash dummies and more. CNN's Jake Tapper did his journalistic job demolishing Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves for his COVID failure. Bumbling Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves did not help his case as CNN's Jake Tapper drilled him. The Governor likely did not expect Tapper to push this hard. Maria Teresa Kumar is more than an organizer, commentator, and pundit. She understands the heartbeat, values, and causes that drive America. The Meet The Press Panel was hyperventilating on the lousy week that President Biden is going through. They expressed concern about the Democratic ‘feud' over the $3.5 Trillion Human infrastructure bill and the bipartisan infrastructure bill. Tiffany Cross did not mince her words about today's MAGA insurrectionist rally. The premise that they are persecuted denies reality. An exasperated Tiffany Cross used a lot of sarcasm, objectivity, truth, and a good storytelling technique on this one. Watch the whole thing. She started her soliloquy this way. This indigenous activist lawyer made the important point that the MAGA rallies were but crash dummies. It's the politicians that we must watch. Journalist exposes lies & throws shade on MAGA protest: I did not hear anything rooted in reality. --- If you like what we do please do the following!

What A Week Episode 4  (3/1- 3/7)Intro: (Cue intro music) Hey everyone, welcome back to What a week!, I'm your host, Olivia Lee, here to deliver your weekly dose of the news. Let's get started!In Local News: https://www.oregonlive.com/education/2021/03/portland-public-schools-headquarters-vandalized-in-malicious-act-of-arson-and-property-destruction.htmlThis past Saturday, the headquarters of Portland Public Schools was vandalized overnight in what the district superintendent is calling quote  “an attack on our city's public school system.” It was reported that multiple school district vehicles were set on fire, office windows were broken and graffiti was scrawled on the district headquarters on 501 N. Dixon St. The vandalism comes after it was reported that the school  district is preparing to return students to school buildings. In-state news: https://www.kgw.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/gov-kate-brown-orders-oregon-public-schools-in-person-learning/283-d8063498-bc8a-45c8-ad13-c23fd2e1d71b https://www.oregonlive.com/education/2021/03/gov-kate-brown-orders-oregon-schools-to-prioritize-in-person-instruction-by-spring-break.html Last Friday, Governor Kate Brown issued an executive order to return all Oregon public school students to the classroom for in-person learning. Brown said in a letter  quote "Thanks to the smart choices Oregonians have made, our COVID-19 numbers have declined… All but six counties now meet or exceed Oregon's advisory metrics for a return to in-person, hybrid learning for all K-12 grade levels. And... five of those counties meet the advisory metrics for a return to elementary school." After the weeks of March 29 and April 19, all Oregon public schools will either be in a fully on-site learning model or a hybrid learning model when their counties meet or exceed Oregon's advisory COVID-19 metrics. Parents and students will have the option to decide whether they want to go back to school or remain in comprehensive distance learning. Governor Brown has faced increasing pressure over the past few months from parent groups and some lawmakers to reopen the state's public schools.In National News: https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/03/02/972952844/texas-and-mississippi-to-lift-covid-19-mask-mandates-and-business-capacity-limit https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/02/us/coronavirus-reopening-texas.html Early last week, Texas Governor  Greg Abbott announced that he is lifting the state's mask mandate and increasing capacity of all businesses and facilities in the state to 100%.  His new executive order goes into effect on Wednesday, March 10, and it rescinds most of the governor's earlier executive orders related to the coronavirus. This is the  most expansive step by any state to remove coronavirus restrictions. Shortly after Abbott's decision, Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves made a similar announcement, lifting mask mandates and motioning for businesses to operate at full capacity without any state-imposed rules. All around the country, governors and mayors are gauging what is feasible, what is safe and what is politically practical for their own respective states and counties. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/03/06/973126199/senate-passes-1-9-trillion-coronavirus-relief-package https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/03/06/biden-stimulus-poverty-checks/ https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/paulmcleod/coronavirus-checks-unemployment-passes-senate-manchin This past Saturday, President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill narrowly passed the Senate by a vote of 50-49 with all 50 democratic senators voting for it and 49 republicans voting against it. The package will now go to the House for one more vote before it can be signed into law. The bill contains hundreds of billions of dollars in aid for individuals, schools, local governments, and businesses, as well as programs ranging from COVID-19 vaccinations and contract tracing to funding for raising children, but many aid programs like checks for most Americans were reduced down in order for the bill to pass. According to the Washington Post, the American Rescue Plan is one of the largest federal responses to a downturn Congress has enacted and economists estimate it will boost growth this year to the highest level in decades and reduce the number of Americans living in poverty by a third.In International News:  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56314173 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/07/switzerland-on-course-to-ban-wearing-of-burqa-and-niqab-in-public-places https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/07/europe/switzerland-referendum-face-covering-intl/index.html Switzerland follows France, Belgium and Austria after narrowly voting in a referendum this past Sunday to ban full face coverings including the burqa or niqab (nuhqab)  worn by Muslim women in public spaces. The controversial ban was passed by a narrow margin; Official results show the measure had passed by 51.2% to 48.8%. The only exceptions to this measure include places of worship and other sacred sites. According to the text of the proposal published by the Swiss federal government, face coverings will also be allowed if worn for health and safety reasons, because of the weather and in situations where it is considered a quote "local custom" to do so, such as at carnivals, Lastly here is the wildcard news for the week:https://www.vice.com/en/article/bvx4qd/photos-thai-navy-rescue-cats-shipLast Tuesday, the Thai navy team rescued four cats from a capsized fishing trawler 13 kilometers off Adang Island in Thailand's Satun province. The rescue operation was captured in photos posted on the Thai navy's Facebook page last Wednesday which has now garnered over 6,000 likes and viral attention. Closing:  Well that wraps up What a Week! Stay safe and see you guys next week.

Lawmakers look ahead to the Governor's State of the State Address. We get perspectives on both side of the aisle on COVID response, vaccine roll-out and other issues.Then, the federal partnership with corporate pharmacies to vaccine the state's most vulnerable is lagging. We hear from the AARP on the state's progress getting Mississippi's oldest residents protected. Plus, a new report ranks the risk factors for children and youth in all 82 counties.Segment 1:Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves will deliver his second State of the State Address today from the Capitol, and some lawmakers are sharing what they would like to hear from the state's chief executive. Vaccinating Mississippians for the coronavirus tops the list for many on both sides of the aisle, with education funding and criminal justice reform also points of concern for many legislators. MPB's Desare Frazier hears from Rep. Donnie Bell (R) and Sen. Angela Turner Ford (D)Segment 2:Earlier this month, Governor Tate Reeves expanded vaccine eligibility to Mississippians 65 and older citing the high-risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19. But many of the state's vaccine appointments are filling quickly and a federal partnership with Walgreens and CVS is under-performing. Kimberly Campbell is Mississippi's State Director of the AARP. She tells our Kobee Vance while the flow of supply is lacking, the effort to prioritize older residents is resonating with their members. Segment 3:A new state-wide report is assessing risk factors and protective factors for Mississippi's children and youth. The Risk and Reach report from the Children's Foundation of Mississippi identifies the needs of children and youth as well as the available opportunities in each of the state's 82 counties - giving each county a low to high risk score. According to the report, 14 counties are considered high risk. Linda Southward, executive director of the Children's Foundation of Mississippi, shares the purpose of the report and its findings.

As cases continue to rise, the Governor pushes back on a statewide mask mandate, and introduces a PPE program for schools, churches and small businesses.Then, we examine the constitutionality of the Trump Administration withholding education funding, and legal protections for teachers as they potentially return to campus.Plus, Civil Rights Era foot soldiers relive a painful history as recent events re-energize protests over systemic racism.And, in today's Book Club, an author's debut novel takes a deep dive into Mississippi's past while bringing a civil rights era murder to the forefront.Segment 1:Mississippi is experiencing a higher rate of coronavirus transmission in the first half of July than the state did in the first two months of the pandemic. Since the July 1st, the Mississippi Department of Health has reported 10,664 cases of COVID-19. State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs says the widespread transmission is putting tremendous strain on the hospital system.The stress on the system has resulted in calls for a statewide mask mandate - most notably from State Medical Association. In neighboring Alabama, Governor Kay Ivey has announced a statewide measure. Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves is instead taking a more targeted approach, ordering residents in 13 counties to wear masks in public spaces. He says a broader order won't be effective if residents are reluctant to comply.Segment 2:President Donald Trump is threatening to withhold federal funding from schools that do not return to traditional instruction in the fall, despite rising cases of COVID-19 in many parts of the country. Matt Steffey is a Professor at the Mississippi College School of Law. We asked him if the federal government has the inherent authority to take such action.Segment 3:The police killings of Black people in recent months prompted weeks of civil unrest. In many ways, protests across the U.S. look a lot like those held in the 60s, when Black Americans fought for equality. For many civil rights foot soldiers, it's been difficult to relive that painful history. But as WBHM's Janae Pierre in Birmingham reports, they say this moment seems different.Segment 4:In today's Book Club, an antebellum manor serves as a symbol for a small Mississippi town trying to leave the past behind but not without some hanging onto those vestiges. A man accused of a civil rights era murder is being tried, again, 44 years later, magnifying the tensions of class and race. In his debut novel,"Some Go Home," writer Odie Lindsey sets the story in a fictional town called Pitch-lynn. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
