Youtube daily report w Jan 5 2018

Hi I'm Erin. Today I will show you a recipe

that I've eaten my entire life. Fried Chicken, but it's not the traditional crispy, crunchy

fried chicken you usually think of. It's fall off the bone tender and delicious. See

how it's done on Our Wyoming Life

If this is your first time here make sure you hit that subscribe button because here

on the ranch there's always things to do. Mike has daily chores and the cows always

need his attention. The next farmers' market is just a few weeks away and our crops need

attended to as well. And the kids well, when do they ever not need something! But no matter

how busy we are we always need to eat. Everyone does, everywhere. It's something we all

have in common. This chicken recipe has been in my family for generations. My Grandma made

it often for her children and maybe my Great Grandmother even cooked it too. We don't

really know where the recipe originated from. I do know that I enjoyed this chicken often

as a child and as soon as Mike started coming to family dinners 11 years ago he got to enjoy

it as well.

In our family we simply call it fried chicken. But it's not southern fried crispy chicken.

It's pan fried and then baked in the oven until it falls off the bone. The drippings

are used to make a rich gravy so mashed potatoes are of course necessary with this meal. A

green salad or a steamed vegetable usually made it's way to the table with this delicious

chicken.

First thing we need to do is get out a large skillet and add about an 1/8 of an inch of

vegetable or canola oil. Turn the heat onto medium or just a little above medium. Also

turn the oven to 350. We have one whole chicken that's been cut up. This recipe works best

with a bone in cut of chicken. It's been spread out onto a cookie sheet so that salt

and pepper can be sprinkled on. Then it's into a light flour dredge. Make sure to shake

off the excess flour. Then place the chicken skin side down into the hot oil. Keep adding

chicken until the skillet is full but not over crowded. It's okay to leave a little

space in between each piece. Now it's important to leave the chicken alone while it gets nice

and crispy and brown on the first side. It's going to take about 8-10 minutes. You want

it nice and brown but not burnt. Once it's ready flip it to the other side. Leave it

to cook for 5-6 minutes on the second side.

At this point the chicken is not cooked all the way but it's time for it to come out

of the pan. It's moved into a large roaster. We keep frying the chicken until all the pieces

have made their way to the roaster.

Next step it to drain some, but not all of the grease out of the skillet. Be careful

it's hot. Half of a onion that's been sliced is added to the skillet and cooked

3-4 minutes until it starts to soften. Water is added to the pan next. This is a large

chicken so a cup and a half of water is added to the skillet and the heat is turned on high.

For a smaller chicken only 1 cup of water is needed. We want to bring the water to a

boil and scrape all the delicious brown bits off of the bottom of the pan. The hot water

then gets poured over the chicken in the roaster. The lid is put on and the chicken goes into

the hot 350 degree oven for about an hour.

While the chicken bakes feel free to peel and boil some potatoes so you can enjoy more

of the delicious gravy we will make once the chicken is done.

After an hour the chicken is cooked all the way through and is practically falling off

the bones. It's time to take it out of the oven. It can be placed on a platter for serving

and tent it with tinfoil to keep it warm while we make the gravy.

2-3 cups of water is added to the roasting pan. A little bit of kitchen bouquet is poured

into the pan. Probably about ½ teaspoon. You don't want the gravy to be too dark.

About ¾ of a cup of flour has been added to a measuring cup and enough water to make

it pourable. Salt can also be added to the flour thickener. Once the drippings and water

come to a boil, pour the flour mixture into the pan while stirring continuously. Add as

much flour mixture to reach your desired gravy thickness. If it gets too thick add some more

water to the pan. The gravy will thicken more as it comes to a boil and you want to let

the gravy boil for 2-3 minutes to cook all of the flour. Then it's time for salt and

pepper and tasting the gravy. Keep adding salt and pepper until it's too your preferred

taste. The gravy can take quite a bit of salt to don't be alarmed if you have to keep

adding more.

Once the gravy is cooked and thickened you can strain it. A fine mesh sieve placed over

a large bowl works great. This chicken is a great meal for family get

togethers or special occasions. It's really simple ingredients, inexpensive and tastes

superb. This was also one of my Stepdad Gilbert's favorite meals. He used to have these huge

birthday parties. There would be 80-100 people there most years. One year he asked for my

mom's fried chicken. One year while I was in college I decided to come home and help

my mom with the birthday party. We cooked for 2 days and the day of the party we fried

17 chickens and then drug it 30 miles out into the country along with a ton of other

food. Fun times let me tell you. Even when we're having fun the ranch always required

hard work and the reward is definitely worth the effort.

Coming up on Sunday Mike has another ranch episode where he will be sorting and starting

to grain finish steers, Tuesday it's back at the project list and next Thursday we will

live stream and answer all your questions. Make sure you subscribe for more from the

ranch and comment with your favorite way you like to have your chicken! As always thanks

for joining us in Our Wyoming Life.

Air Force fighters took on Army attack helos in combat experiment - Duration: 1:56.

Ever wonder what it might be like

if the Air Force and the Army suddenly got sick

of each others shit and had an air war?

I say air war because we know the ground war

would probably be over pretty quick.

The technology and weapon systems used by

the Air Force these days is pretty incredible.

No one would blame you for assuming the Air Force

would totally dominate the skys,

but you know what happens when you assume.

You make an ass out of you and me.

You get it.

They actually wargamed to this air-to-air combat scenario

in what they call JCAH,

or Joint Countering Attack Helicopter.

Sorry Air Force, you got wasted in this one

and it wasn't even close.

You can't blame it on the F-35 either,

in fact, the only saving graces of the F-35

and F-22 weren't around when they conducted the exercises.

But Captain Corbay you might say,

it was just one experiment,

it was probably a fluke.

Nope, the Army got you there too.

It was a series of test,

run as the Soviets began building up

their helicopter fleets.

Yes, a series of tests,

in four phases,

over two weeks,

and the Army won.

Starting in 1978,

the first phase was a set of simulations

that also included the Marine Corp.

The second phase was a HELO on HELO field test,

where new tactics to combat the Russian hind were developed.

Phase three was were the Fighters came in.

The Air Force chose F-4s, A-7s, A-10s, and F-15s

to go up against whatever the Army wanted to throw at them.

Air Force pilots didn't even realize they'd been attacked

or destroyed until the daily debriefing.

The tactics developed by the Army pilots were so good,

they ended up having to inform the Air Force enemy

they were toast via radio.

Red-5, you're dead.

You've been dead for a long time.

When all was said and done,

the Army beat the Air Force five to one.

The final phase was the Analysis Phase,

where it was determined that fighters

should avoid helicopters at all cost.

Unless, they have superiority of distance or altitude.

Like, comment, and share this video.

Congratulations Army.

You earned this one.

We still have better Challis though.

How to meal prep - Healthy meal ideas - Duration: 7:37.

Hey guys, it's Denai Johnson from Hella Well and today

I'm sharing with you guys my personal food prepping process to ensure that I eat healthy throughout the entire week

I'm telling you if you want to eat healthy

organizing and preparing in advance

It really is key so that when you are

hungry

When you get to those moments of time where you're just starving like that you've got healthier food options already prepped and in your fridge

Or to take to work with you so that you're eating that instead of like takeout so typically when it comes to my food

Preparation for the week I don't bother with prepping my breakfasts in advance most days

I just have a smoothie, so that's easy enough. I don't have to prepare for that if you guys want to see some

Breakfast food prep ideas comment below. Let me know I can totally do that for you guys today

I'm gonna focus on prepping lunches for the week

I'm gonna do my dinner preparation for the week, and I'm also gonna show you guys a couple of different snack

Preparation ideas we're gonna start with our lunches right now

So I've decided that I want to eat salads for lunch this week and with my salads

I always want to make sure that I'm not just eating vegetables

But that I'm also getting some healthy fats in there and my protein as well

So I'm gonna prep my veggies in just a second

But first of all I've gone ahead in advance before I started filming and I made a really tasty walnut cheese

So I've got that as my healthy fat, and then I've also made some black bean sweet potato patties

So this is gonna be my protein black beans have lots of protein in them and these are gonna go

Fantastic in the salads for this week all right up next the most labor-intensive part of the process is just cutting up the vegetables

Okay, so we've chopped our red peppers our chew cumber or green onion

And now I'm going to use my food processor to shred my cabbage and my carrots

And there we go we got a big tub of grated carrot first eyelids so much easier than using a grater

So we're gonna do the cabbage now

Done those all that fabulous

shredded

cabbage

All right there. We go. We've got all of our salad ingredients

I personally wouldn't recommend actually putting together the salads and having them all pre-made sitting in the fridge for a week

I just find with vegetables they release a lot of water a lot of liquid over time so if you make like

All your salads in advance pre-made in containers for the week

They're just gonna start to get like soggy and mucky

Which it's not enjoyable so typically what I do cut them all up shred them all up have them in their own

Individual containers, and then when I actually go to eat my salad

I just hauled the stuff out

Take a little bit of each and eat it fresh then in there so that's all you guys really need to know for the lunches

For the week you're gonna want to get some spinach or romaine or whatever kind of salad base you like kale

But that's really all you're gonna need and I promise you guys having this in the fridge. It's gonna be so much easier

Don't you think you'd be more inclined to eat this if it was already pre-made in the fridge as opposed to ordering pizza

I don't know. Maybe not pizza is pretty damn good, but you're cool

All right now lunch of prepping our dinners so for lunch as I typically do like to have something fresh and raw like a salad

Like I just showed you guys and then for dinners

I personally like to have something warm and cooked so I've gone ahead

Ahead of time and made this homemade vegan shepherd's pie which is such a delicious comfort meal

But for dinners, you know things like stews or soups

Chili's any kind of lentil based dishes curries

Spaghetti sauces you know things like this are fantastic because they're gonna keep in your fridge for up to a week

And it's so easy to just cook them Porche them out

They're in the fridge ready to go so as you guys can see I personally use glass containers for my food

I as much as I can try and stay away from plastics

There's a lot of talk about the plastics in our food disrupting our hormones

Especially when we heat those plastics

so especially if you're gonna take it to work and microwave something in it you really don't want to use plastic so I

Still do have some plastic containers like I'm not that hardcore about it, but I'm slowly transitioning as much as possible into using just glass

There we go you guys six portions

I've got my dinner's ready to rock for the week by the way if you guys want to see videos on anything that I've made

today the shepherd's pie or the walnut cheese or the black beans sweet potato patties just

Comment below, and I can definitely do videos on how to make those things last

But not least it's gonna show you guys a couple of different snack ideas that you can prep for the week

So I'm going to show you two different ideas today the first one we're gonna do is

Veggies and hummus so I went ahead of time and I made my own homemade hummus

So I'm just gonna prep these now

I'm gonna cut my carrots and celery of course you can use any kind of vegetables that you would like and yeah

I'm just gonna chop that up

Laughs is easy enough. We've got our chopped veggies our hummus

I'm telling you guys easy delicious snack another super easy snack idea that I really love

this is my personal favorite is to just have an apple and

some almond butter or peanut butter so you could just throw this if you're going to work or to school throw an apple in your

Bag I usually don't like to cut my Apple in advance because it

Oxidizes and starts to brown so usually when I get to work

I'll cut it up then, but yeah, just throw an apple in your bag

And then a tablespoon of the other peanut butter or almond butter you get a good big sized spoonful done all right

So there you go guys

We've got our meals prepped for the entire week some healthy delicious lunches snacks dinners

I promise you guys if you have this stuff ready and prepped in your fridge

You're gonna be so much more likely to eat this as opposed to hitting up the drive-thru on the way home

So I really hope you guys like this video. I really hope that it's helpful

I'm here to help you guys as much as possible, so let me know if you like videos like this

I've got tons of different food prep video ideas cuz I do this every week, so let me know

Let me know if you want to see any of these recipes

Demonstrated I can do that as well

As always comment below if you liked it give it a thumbs up and please subscribe

Of course the more subscribers a channel has the more YouTube is inclined to push and share those videos

And I really want to help as many people as possible out there with this so please subscribe

Thank you guys so much. I hope you have a fantastic week, and we'll see you next time

BREAKING News From ALABAMA!!! FELONY CHARGES FILED!!! - Duration: 44:15.

BREAKING News From ALABAMA!!!

FELONY CHARGES FILED!!!

And in another case of Democrats being Democrats….

It's now being reported that the former Alabama Secretary of State Nancy Worley has

turned herself into the Montgomery County Jail early Thursday morning and has now been

released on bond.

Her surrender comes as a grand jury indicted Worley on charges stemming from her unsuccessful

campaign for re-election last year.

All through her four years in office, she faced a battery of complaints which ranged

from criticism of her selection of a gas-guzzling SUV that the state paid for, to the number

of employees who were unhappy working under her.

The indictment states that Worley broke that law when she wrote a letter to her employees

with the words underlined saying, "I want to ask for your support and your vote in the

June 2006 Democratic Primary Election."

For those who aren't aware of it, it's considered ethical for an elected Secretary

of State to ask the people who work under her for their vote.

If she was a good candidate, and a good Secretary of State she wouldn't need to ask her own

employees for their vote.

At least you would think that would be the case.

Now we know the Democrats are a corrupt bunch, this is not news, and this hack is no different.

But I really honestly believe she has no other choice than to get a gas guzzling SUV for

obvious reasons I really don't need to get into.

That being said, what in the world is going on in the state of Alabama?

I know many thought Roy Moore was creepy but is this lady any better?

And who really cares if they are creepy or not, all I know is that Alabama picked a Senator

who is pro-choice up until the day of birth.

That doesn't seem to fit Alabama values very well!

Via Al.com:

Abortion clearly a 'difficult issue' for Alabama Democrats as Doug Jones pushes pro-choice

stance

After Josh Crowley listened to Doug Jones' interview with NBC's Chuck Todd late last

month, he took to Facebook and urged his friends to ignore the Senate hopeful's pro-choice

stance on abortion.

"Too many Christians look at just the issue of abortion in making their political decisions,

but there is so much more that has the potential for legislation at the national level,"

said Crowley, 27, a University of South Alabama student who describes himself as pro-life,

and a Jones supporter.

"I think it's obvious that the abortion issue can really get in the way for any liberal

candidates."

Jones, the Democratic opponent of strongly conservative Roy Moore in the Dec. 12 Senate

election, raised some eyebrows among political observers in Alabama and elsewhere after he

said during the Todd interview that he would not support legislation to ban abortion after

20 weeks of pregnancy.

The U.S. House approved a similar measure,largely along partisan lines, which would make the

practice illegal.

The Jones campaign, last week, doubled-down on the candidate's pro-choice platform:

"I support a woman's right and freedom to choose what to do with her body.

This is a decision between a woman, her doctor and her Lord.

Who am I to tell a woman what to do with her body?"

Jones, in a statement, added, "I also support Planned Parenthood because they provide cancer

screening, breast exams, contraceptives, prenatal care, and other vital, sometimes life-saving,

services to hundreds of thousands of women.

These are my beliefs."

'Liberal view'

Jones' statement underscores a vexing cultural issue conundrum for Democrats in Alabama,

who haven't won a statewide race in nearly a decade and haven't occupied one of the

state's two Senate seats since 1992.

But with Jones, many Democrats believe, they have a good opportunity of pulling an electoral

upset over Moore, who is a far-right ex-judge twice booted from the bench for violating

federal orders.

"Republicans have to make this election be about abortion and the national Democratic

Party because they know that if his election is about their candidate, they stand a good

chance at losing," said state Rep. Craig Ford, D-Gadsden, the former minority leader

of the Alabama House.

"They see abortion as a way to keep moderate Republicans who are turned off by Roy Moore

from voting for a Democrat."

Abortion politics in Alabama seem to weigh heavily in the Republican Party's favor.

Alabama is one of the top states in the U.S. for voters who identify as Christians.

Nearly half identify as evangelical Protestants – a group that largely consists of white

and conservative-leaning voters.

According to the most recent Pew Research Center's study, 58 percent of Alabama residents

believe abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, while only 37 percent believe

it should be legal.

Only Arkansas (at 60 percent) and Mississippi (at 59 percent) have a higher percentage of

residents who want to criminalize abortions.

Alabama's statistics contrast with the national split over the issue, according to a Gallup

poll taken in early May.

But the same poll showed that 71 percent of Democrats call themselves "pro-choice,"

the highest that statistic has been in at least 17 years.

Republicans, including Moore – the former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice who won

last month's GOP runoff against Senator Luther Strange, for the right to face off

against Jones – are on the attack.

A Moore campaign spokeswoman, last week, said Jones' comments are "the most liberal,

extremist view" on abortion.

"Doug Jones' views on abortion are way out of line on how a larger majority of Alabamians

feel on the issue," said Brent Buchanan, a Montgomery-based Republican strategist.

"There is a strong contingent of people in our state which this is a make or break

issue for them."

Democratic supporters, however, are countering with appreciation toward Jones' stance,

which they believe is a "genuine response.

Zac McCrary, a Democratic pollster based in Montgomery, said he believes most Alabamians

are "sort of the middle" of the issue, and while they support some abortion restrictions,

they do not want government interfering in someone's personal choices.

'Difficult' issue

Ford, though, acknowledges the difficulty the issue poses for Democrats not only in

Alabama, but elsewhere.

He noted the differences between national Democratic leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck

Schumer, who support inclusion of pro-life Democrats into the party fold, and the National

Democratic Party led by Chairman Tom Perez, who said in April that pro-choice is "non-negotiable"

and shouldn't vary by geography.

The abortion debate for Democrats comes ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, when the party

defends a number of Senate seats in traditionally red states.

"The National Democratic Party has made it difficult for pro-life people to feel welcome

in the party," said Ford.

"Most of the elected officials who have switched parties in Alabama over the last

six or seven years have cited abortion as a key reason for leaving.

It's definitely a problem for Democrats in conservative states."

Thomas Groome, a professor of theology and religious studies at Boston University, addressed

the issue in a New York Times piece in March, when he blamed Democrat Hillary Clinton's

struggles nationally to the abortion issue.

"It's almost like the Democrats have made it a litmus test to support Roe v. Wade,"

Groome said, referring to the landmark 1973 Supreme Court case which gave women the right

to choose whether to have an abortion during the first trimester.

"To say 'I'm supporting Roe v. Wade,' that opinion is so dated now.

Eighty percent of people don't want to criminalize abortion, but a majority favors some sort

of time limit (before receiving one).

Matthew Tyson, a marketing strategist and a member of the Calhoun County Democratic

Committee, is a pro-life Democrat who has done research with Democrats for Life of America.

But he, too, has faced backlash from other liberals and progressives who have told him

that he has no place within the Democratic Party.

"The fact that Democrats put so much emphasis on abortion has to be one of the worst branding

mistakes in the last 50 years," he said.

He said a main reasons why groups he supports continue to work with Democrats is because

of their platform – living wages, health care, better sex education, child care support,

etc. – "goes a long way to address those 'root causes'" which leads to women seeking

an abortion.

"Outlawing abortion won't make abortions go away, nor will it do anything to help women

in a crisis pregnancy," he said.

"I believe we need to first attack the social pressures that would require a woman to abort

in the first place."

Tyson and Groome both believe that the issue could hinder Jones' prospects at winning

the Senate seat.

Polls show that Moore has a 6 to 8 percent lead over his Democratic rival, representing

a much tighter race than Moore had against his GOP rival, Strange.

Most pre-election polls showed Moore with a commanding lead over Strange ahead of the

Sept. 26 runoff.

"I can't for the life of me figure out why Jones would put such a clear pro-choice

stance at the forefront of his campaign," Tyson said.

"I think perhaps he's putting too much faith in the 'kitchen table issues' approach,

and hoping that Alabamians will put aside their differences on abortion to come together

for jobs, education, etc."

He added, "Most of the people Jones needs to win … for them, it's a make or break

issue, so you cannot come out with the traditional Democratic stance, especially in Alabama.

His stance may not drive Republicans to vote for Moore, but it could encourage them to

just stay home.

He can't afford that."

Groome said Jones should focus more on effective social services that lead to a reduction in

abortions, such as easier access to birth control.

He noted that abortion rates continue to decline, reaching historic lows in 2013 and 2014, and

researchers believe it's due to improved contraception use.

Unintended pregnancies declined from 2008-2011,after experiencing an increase from 2001-2008.

"When you deny people social services, the abortion rate skyrockets," Groome said.

"The Republican policies cause abortions and it is too bad Mr. Jones didn't say that."

'Political damage'

Longtime political observers in Alabama believe that Jones has waded into a difficult political

position in Alabama, where hot-button cultural issues can swamp economic messages during

a campaign.

Steve Flowers, a former Republican member of the Alabama House who now writes a political

column that appears in more than 60 newspapers around the state, said Alabama voters historically

tend to be "driven by race and religion" whereas "most states in the country are

driven by economic issues."

Indeed, Jones' platform has focused more on economic issues, the environment, and civil

rights.

Jones, in the early 2000s, led the successful prosecution of two Ku Klux Klan members for

their role in the 1963 bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham.

Jess Brown, a retired political science professor at Athens State University, said that Jones

needs to maintain focus on economics.

If social issues – such as abortion, same-sex marriage and gun rights – dominate the campaign,

"then the Dems lose in Bama."

William Stewart, a professor emeritus of political sciences at the University of Alabama, said

that despite the recent massacre in Las Vegas, gun rights are likely not to rise to the top

of social concerns during the Senate campaign.

Instead, he said, abortion is likely to become a more discussed topic following the addition

of conservative Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court.

"With more Trump appointees on the Supreme Court, Roe v. Wade could be reversed or at

least modified to allow states to put more restrictions on abortions," Stewart said.

"No matter what bread and butter issues (Jones) discusses, Alabamians will not be

persuaded if they are reminded of Mr. Jones' position on abortion."

Quin Hillyer, a conservative columnist based in Mobile, said that Jones' position on

abortion is a problem for his candidacy.

"Because he has stated his position so openly, there is almost nothing he can say now that

would lessen the political damage his stance causes him," Hillyer said.

Flowers said he wouldn't be surprised to see Moore ads targeting the issue, especially

if the race tightens between the two around Thanksgiving.

"You have to respect his position," Flowers said about Jones.

"But I don't think he's in the mainstream of Alabama."

Need to Know | January 4, 2018 | People with disabilities and politics - Duration: 14:52.

THE LARGEST MINORITY GROUP IN THE US IS….PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.

AND THE INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THIS GROUP ARE INCREDIBLY DIVERSE THEMSELVES COMPRISING OF

DIFFERENT RACES, CULTURES, RELIGIONS AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC CLASSES.

CONSIDERING THIS WHY DON'T WE HEAR MORE ABOUT DISABILITY ISSUES IN THE POLITICAL SPHERE

ASIDE FROM SO-CALLED CAMPAIGN PROMISES DURING ELECTION YEARS?

AND HOW WOULD MORE DISABILITY REPRESENTATION IN POLITICS AFFECT THE ISSUES THAT MATTER

MOST TO AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES?

JOINING ME AT THE DESK TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS AND MORE IS TIMOTHY KNEELAND - PROFESSOR AND

CHAIRPERSON OF POLITICAL SCIENCE AND HISTORY AT NAZARETH COLLEGE.

TIMOTHY IS ALSO DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER FOR PUBLIC HISTORY AT NAZ.

ALSO JOINING US TODAY IS JUSTIN YOUNG - POOLED TRUST ADVOCATE FOR THE CENTER FOR DISABILITY

RIGHTS.

And it is great to have both of you back on the show.

Thank you for being here.

(Timothy Kneeland) Thank you.

(Helene) So we'll jump right in, and I want to start by getting your opinion on something,

and I want to give this to you first, Justin.

Do you think our political sphere thoroughly acknowledges the needs for individuals with

disabilities?

Are disability issues prioritized and acted upon in our political system.

(Justin Young) I would say no.

(Helene) Why?

(Young) Because unfortunately there's a disconnect somewhere.

There's good intentions of the political people who have these in their platforms.

Disability issues were both in the Democratic and Republican platforms for the Presidential

nominees in 2016, but however they have not committed to standing with the disability

community and ensuring our issues are being pushed forwards as quickly and as smoothly

as possible and the Congress specifically over the last year basically has not done

good things for not only for America but the disability community of America.

(Helene) What do you think?

Justin said good intentions but nothing has come through.

How would you respond – ?

(Kneeland) Right, and I think again you're talking about nearly 1 in 5 Americans have

a form of disability and in some ways that actually works against the ability for these

groups to come together, to form a specific pressure group that will get the action they

need from elective officials because as you said they are so diverse.

They're both diverse politically as well, Republicans and Democrats, on both sides,

and the needs of each population within the broader disability community are different.

So in some cases you actually have people competing for resources as opposed to combining

their efforts in order to get key legislation passed, and that helps the politicians express

sympathy but also then hold back on action.

And I think that's something that really needs to be addressed from a savvy political

point of view, but also for politicians to be more engaged with people in the disability

community.

(Helene) So before we move on, let's talk about, what would you both say are some of

the top issues for individuals with disabilities right now, issues that our political system

can directly influence or impact?

(Kneeland) I'd say consistent unemployment among people with disabilities and that's

that need that's addressed in terms of education, vocational opportunities, the story preceded

us about the ridesharing efforts—clearly the government can put pressure on Uber and

Lyft to comply with ADA requirements in order to make sure that people can facilitate trips

back and forth to their jobs.

So training, education, but also transportation.

I think if you look at what happened here in Rochester regarding the train station,

that's completely ADA compliant, but that's because people of the disability community

were able to influence Louise Slaughter, who was able to influence the design of that particular

facility.

So good things can happen when there is political pressure.

(Helene) Justin?

(Young) To add to that I would say some of the specific issues that the disability community

is fighting for is stuff like the disability integration act, which would allow people

with disabilities to live within a community, integrated community living setting as opposed

to being forced into institutions simply because they have a disability.

Representative Jim Sensibrenan from Wisconsin House version of that legislation and Democratic

leader Chuck Schumer introduced the Senate one for the last two years.

So he and his staff have been working very hard with the disability community, specifically

the Center for Disability Rights and adopt what is a National Disability Rights organization.

Also subminimum wage which we talked on this program previously about how people with disabilities

because they have a disability under the fair labor standards that can be paid pennies per

hour which is shameful and should be eliminated and can be eliminated if the Congress passes

the transitioning to the integrated and meaningful employment act, which has been introduced

year after year after year by representative Greg Harper from Mississippi.

Unfortunately the Senate has not always done, followed his lead.

The only time to my knowledge the Senate introduced a companion bill was Achille Aiot in 2015

which unfortunately only got 1 cosponsor.

So we are hopeful that other companion bills in the Senate can be introduced by other leaders

who have taken off the lead on that side of Congress.

Other pieces of legislation is related to insuring that you have affordable, accessible

integrated housing which there is a lack of locally, state, and national.

So those are some of the key issues making sure that we can live our lives the way we

want without losing our liberties or our freedoms and unfortunately that's, like I said before

not a priority of this Congress or the Federal Government or the Judiciary Branch either.

(Helene) So Justin, he laid out active bills.

Have we in recent history seen, I mean you mentioned this past year no movement, Justin,

have we seen anything in recent history to show that…

(Kneeland) Yeah, I would say the Able Act for example, which was an amendment of a law

that goes back to the 1980s, which allows individuals to set aside savings account for

people with disabilities in terms of education, health care, and limits on housing.

This one is important because it not taxed but it also doesn't count for things like

social security disability or other Medicaid or other means tests that the government has

and the states gets to implement that, that was passed in 2014, and New York State has

implemented the Able Act, and so there is I think it's my able.gov people can go to

to check out how they would set up one of these accounts.

That was 2014.

Probably the most important legislation before that was the ADA Amendments Act 2008.

Now that expanded the definition of what we mean by disabled after the supreme court had

narrowed the definition of the 1990 ADA act so it was an important amendment, but that

was nearly 10 years ago now.

So we haven't seen a number of things and as Justin was pointing out, the Disability

Integration Act, which Louise Slaughter is a co-sponsor of, is also something that would

really guarantee the rights of individuals to live in communities which they want to

live and prosper and contribute as opposed to the laws that exist now that rally give

preference to institutions, right?

Tax breaks and other things to help people with disabilities to go to nursing homes or

places like that.

That's really not what the disability community wants.

(Helene) So Justin, the Center for Disability Rights, you host candidate forums on Disability

Rights during election year.

This has been a consistent thing that you've done.

I had an opportunity to moderate one of those a couple years ago.

And you also in the process inviting candidates from major races to participate in a candidate

survey as well, so it's kind of like this two fold thing.

And the results are really intended to help voters make informed decisions before they

go to the polls.

And I want to know what type of response generally A) from the candidates to participate in the

surveys and B) to show in and be a part of the forum.

Are they responsive.

(Young) Unfortunately, from what I've seen, from my colleagues from what they've informed

me, those that have been coordinating these events for the past several years, we created

a survey which was a collaborative process between several staff members, myself included

with the past few years at least, and we send them out to all the candidates that are going

to be running county and city wide because that's where the majority of the people

what we serve live and we put out these surveys and we get them back and the number that we

get back as opposed to those we send out are not good numbers.

We get a handful back and then we get to our candidate forums which we hold every year,

which is usually a two hour event, we get maybe a handful of candidates which are actually

running, so to come speak to answer questions that the disability community wants to know

about issues that are pertinent to them and us of what we need to know and how we want

to make an informed choice of who we want to vote for.

(Helene) In terms of people, sorry to interrupt, in terms of candidates that do come, we're

talking both political parties are represented.

(Young) Both political parties are, we invite them, but unfortunately at times the Republicans,

we do have Republican candidates, like Joe Robok, he's shown.

But unfortunately when we invite other Republican candidates for the last two years at least,

not many have shown.

Usually it's Democrats and third party candidates.

(Helene) So Tim, under what circumstances would a politician not come, and how detrimental

can that be to not come to come to meet with your constituents, and hear about the concerns

and to educate themselves?

(Kneeland) I think there's a couple of things going here.

Number one, and I have not attended the forums, the center for Disability Rights has been

very good about putting transcripts up of the particular, these forums, and it's fascinating

the number of politicians that express empathy or sympathy for members of the disability

community but they seem so unaware.

Kudos to Ty Baxter showing up this year but his unawareness of the need of transportation

to advance, to get people from Monroe Country Jail, that we have wheelchair accessibility

and some other options.

Again, the problem among people who have communication disabilities that make it difficult for the

police to interact.

These are critical issues that we're supposed to have a council of people on disabilities

from Monroe county and the majors seems to be largely defunct, in informing elected officials

about these issues.

But I think part of the problem is this: there is a voting gap for people with disabilities.

Registration among the disabled community and the abled community are equal but voting

there's a gap with people with disabilities.

I think that some of that comes down to the way that our voting machines are set up, some

of the facilities that are not ADA compliant because they've got waivers.

In Monroe county, we don't really have early voting, you can have an absentee ballot and

if you are certified to be disabled permanently you can have an absentee ballot sent to your

place of residence.

But again these are not the kinds of things I think that the disabled community would

like to see.

They would like to see people go to the voting place, have grater accessibility, have equipment

that is designed for a lot more variety of people with disabilities and I think that's

one of the reasons why that politicians have been able to neglect these issues because

we're not seeing the same kind of voting drive among people with disabilities.

But at the same time if they don't address the voting system, then you're not going

to see the turnout you would expect from people who have a position of influence in the community.

(Helene) I want to ask this before I run – lose you two before we run out of time.

Talk to me about, this past fall on Need to Know, we asked the question why aren't more

women running for politics?

You know, running for political office.

Yes, we saw the numbers increase this past year in 2017, but those spikes happen and

then they drop according to researchers.

So I have to ask the question why do you think it is that we do not have more disability

representation when it comes to elected offices within government?

Justin?

(Young) Because the Board of Elections does not help people with disabilities try and

run.

A colleague of mine and a good friend of mine tried to run for City Council and there was

little to no direction of where to go get your what they call walking lessons where

you actually have a specific party roles of who you're supposed to target when you want

to get petitions to get on the ballots and because this person was a wheelchair user,

the Board of Elections assumed that they could not carry this box of names which is very

ableist and we do not feel it's fair to the disability community and that's one

of the many reasons why people with disabilities are not encouraged to run because something

of stuff like that.

Also, to echo what Tim was saying in regard to voting itself, it's not user friendly

for people with disabilities, particularly if you want a write-in candidate.

I've been told there's a market balloting system and to use a write-in candidate, you

have to scroll all the way down and then hit enter on your pad if you're using the specific

pad and then do letter by letter till you get to spell the candidate's name.

And if the person's name is long, you can't do that.

(Helene) And I'm sorry, I have to wrap.

I hate to do this, but I hope that you two will come back as obviously it's an important

conversation that we can spend much more time on.

Need to Know | January 4, 2018 | Ridesharing for people with disabilities - Duration: 11:25.

THE PHRASE "SHARING ECONOMY" IS BECOMING A HOUSEHOLD NAME.

THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN THIS COLLABORATIVE LANDSCAPE INCLUDE SERVICES LIKE: COWORKING

SPACES, HOME AND APARTMENT SHARING, FASHION RESELLING, TALENT SHARING, AND SOMETHING RELATIVELY

NEW IN UPSTATE NEW YORK - RIDESHARING.

THIS PAST FALL "NEED TO KNOW" REPORTED ON CONCERNS FROM AREA RESIDENTS WHO SAY INDIVIDUALS

WITH DISABILITIES - IN PARTICULAR THOSE UTILIZING WHEELCHAIRS - HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN ABOUT WHEN

IT COMES TO THIS SECTOR OF THE "SHARING ECONOMY."

RESIDENT KENYATTA DACOSTA WAS CURIOUS TO SEE IF A RIDESHARING SERVICE WOULD BE ABLE TO

GET HIM FROM POINT-A TO POINT-B WHILE ACCOMMODATING HIS MOTORIZED WHEELCHAIR.

HE HAD HIS FRIEND SCHEDULE THE RIDE FOR HIM - SINCE HE DOESN'T HAVE A SMARTPHONE.

HE ALLOWED US TO OBSERVE THE EXPERIENCE WHICH HE ALSO DOCUMENTED IN THIS VIDEO DIARY UTILIZING

A SMARTPHONE CAMERA WE PROVIDED HIM.

TAKE A LOOK…

(Dacosta) Hello, this is Kenyatta Dacosta, and I'm scheduling a – well, actually

a friend of mine is scheduling – a ride with Uber for me.

I'm looking to go to the Center for Disability Rights if I can.

I've got something there later today, so that would be convenient if that worked out.

And I'm here really with WXXI in coordination with some friends of mine at CDR to see how

it is for someone in a wheelchair, which I am, getting a ride with Uber in particular

and possibly how this could be for other ride sharing systems.

So, a ride will be called, and we'll see what happens.

I don't really expect I'll be able to get there but it's something that I think

should be valuable if I were able to and…I don't know, it's my first time, so we'll

see what happens.

(Phone ringing)

(Dacosta) Hello.

(Caller) Hello.

Um, I had requested the ride, and I had texted to him that you needed a wheelchair accessible

vehicle.

(Dacosta) Yes, ok.

(Caller) (Inaudible) He has not responded to my text

(Dacosta) Ok.

So you texted that to an actual driver?

(Caller) Yeah, it gives you an option to either call him or text him.

And so I figured to have, um, text would be better.

(Dacosta) Ok.

Alright, we'll see if he comes by, if he gets back in contact with you then.

(Caller) Yeah.

It says arriving now, so he's in a Nissan Maxima.

(Dacosta) Ok.

Alright, so it looks like he's driving here?

(Caller) Right, um (inaudible), maybe he'll check it when he stops the car.

(Dacosta) Ok.

So I just want to clarify that, according to you, he's arriving now?

(Caller) Yeah, the app tells you, it shows you the little car on a map that shows you

the route.

He's arriving soon.

(Dacosta) Ok.

Alright, I'll keep an eye out for him.

(Helene) So you were on your way to talk with him to let him know A to make sure that this

would work for you to get a ride with him and to explain the situation and he just took

off?

(Dacosta) Yeah.

I assume he saw me and that's why he took off.

(Helene) And you knew that it was going to be a black Nissan Maxima because Erica called

you just to give you a heads up in advance so you would know what to look for.

(Dacosta) Right.

I knew it was going to be a Nissan Maxima.

So I can call to verify that it was going to be black but it looked like a nice car

which is typically what Uber wants.

Yeah, so that was a little – I mean I expected – I didn't expect to get a ride, but I

expected that the driver would at least say "Oh, I'm so sorry."

You know, I didn't realize and I hope you can find a ride.

But, yeah.

(Helene) What would you tell – I know that conversations are taking place around the

state.

CDR has done this; different organizations just in terms of talking with Uber and Lyft

and saying hey listen, if you're telling customers that you are offering accessible

rides but it's not necessarily taking place everywhere and it's not happening the way

in which it should be happening.

What do you want to say?

We know politicians are trying to address this but some say that their hands are tied.

What do you think the message is to Uber and Lyft to pay attention?

(Dacosta) Well, I would like to see if Uber has accessible rides.

I'd like to know did I try the right way?

Maybe they have a particular format that they want people to use when they need a wheelchair

accessible ride.

And if it's really not accessible, maybe they're just giving lip service.

What would it take to make accessible?

I don't think they should say one thing and not be able to fulfill what they're

saying.

(Helene) More clarification, clearly, needs to be made.

But more than that, it's about making sure that that accessibility feature is offered

everywhere.

(Dacosta) Right.

I don't know how they would do it, but I heard that there's different services.

We have Uber, we have Lyft.

So maybe those two companies could get together and share some accessible vehicles.

That way, if it is more expensive to get the vehicles up and running, they could share

that expense and there's less people who are accessible who would want those rides

anyway, but it's important that those people still get those rides.

I mean it seems like there's lots of ways in a market economy that it could be worked

out and I think Rochester is certainly big enough and we have a good disabilities community.

We're active, there's a number of different services that –

(Helene) – can really come together.

Can really help to make something like this happen.

(Dacosta) Right, yeah.

(Helene) What would you say – I know this was voted on to bring Uber and Lyft to Upstate

New York by our elected officials.

What would you want to tell if you had an opportunity to sit down with our elected officials?

They see this interview, what would you want to tell them or ask them in relation to this?

(Dacosta) I'd like to tell them to be open to different ideas that the community could

put forward and to really listen to make sure that everyone's needs are met but everyone

is accounted for when services are offered.

I know Rochester has a lot of arts and cultural things that happen around town and it's

not just people who are able who want to be able to get to see those sorts of things.

Everyone should be able to benefit from the services that are brought to your community.

I know that happens with the ADA, every restaurant, we know they make certain modifications, they

have to become accessible for everyone and it seems like that should happen for transportation

services as well.

(Dacosta) I did go outside.

I believe I saw the car that was the Uber car.

He was not able to give me a ride.

It was a Nissan Maxima, nice car, but not wheelchair accessible.

(Helene) UBER AND LYFT ARE THE TWO RIDESHARING COMPANIES OPERATING THROUGHOUT NEW YORK STATE.

WHEN THEY WERE APPROVED BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE IN 2017 - A TASK FORCE WAS ESTABLISHED WHICH

WAS INTENDED TO HELP FIND WAYS FOR *ALL* INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES TO BE SERVED THROUGH RIDESHARING.

I REACHED OUT TO GOVERNOR CUOMO'S OFFICE TO GET AN UPDATE ON THE WORK OF THE TASK FORCE

- AND DEPUTY COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR FOR TRANSPORTATION PETER AJEMIAN SHARED THIS STATEMENT: "ENSURING

ALL NEW YORKERS HAVE ACCESS TO RIDE-HAILING SERVICES IS A PRIORITY FOR THIS ADMINISTRATION.

WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF RECRUITING A DIVERSE GROUP OF EXCEPTIONALLY QUALIFIED CANDIDATES

FOR THE TASK FORCE AND LOOK FORWARD TO LAUNCHING IT AS SOON AS THAT PROCESS IS COMPLETE."

IN ADDITION, I CONTACTED BOTH UBER AND LYFT TO SHARE KENYATTA'S STORY AND THE CONCERNS

OF OTHER RESIDENTS WE'VE TALKED WITH.

THEY PROVIDED "NEED TO KNOW" WITH THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS.

AN UBER SPOKESPERSON TOLD W-X-X-I:

A SPOKESPERSON FROM LYFT SAYS:

STAY TUNED TO "NEED TO KNOW" AS WE CONTINUE TO EXAMINE THIS STORY AND TRACK PROGRESS,

OR A LACK THEREOF, ON THE WORK TO ENSURE ACCESSIBLE VEHICLES ARE IN FACT AN OPTION FOR THOSE WITH

DISABILITIES IN OUR COMMUNITY.
