but then my feelings started to change you talked about more like it was a kid still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arcade and i secretly promised to never be like it's one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters mind gets consumed with this reply to. his speech because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its make . all the world's a stage and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties are in t. america play party america offers more artsy american personally. many ways to use the landscape just like the theater real news big news good actors bad

actors and in the end you could never you're all. so much parking all the world's all the world's a stage all the world's a stage and we are definitely a player. greetings and salutation i'm sure by now we've all of the old saying another day another dollar or as they say here in washington since the election of one donald j. trump as president another day another allegation for meddling the hacking the collusion to obstruction week after week day after day we witnessed a steady stream of allegations directed at the white house and russia but but this week things have taken a wrong. other intriguing ter as democrats in particular the democratic national

committee has now found themselves in the crosshairs of the new favorite pastime on the potomac propagating russia gate former depend department of homeland security jay johnson ruffled some feathers during his testimony this week before the house intelligence committee when he declared that the d.n.c. refused refused to accept any help from the d.h. us regarding those notorious hacks of last summer when representative peter king of new york asked if the d.n.c. reached out after they became aware of the hacks johnson stated to my disappointment not to my knowledge served the response i got was the f.b.i. had spoken to them they don't want our help they have crowd streak strike the cyber security firm but but but wait a minute i thought this was an attack on our very democracy i mean hillary clinton told us back in december that quote this is about the integrity of our democracy

and the security of our nation this is not just an attack on me in my campaign so why in the world would clinton and debbie wasserman schultz not go to the department of homeland security the f.b.i. and instead rely on a private firm like crowd strike well our girl debbie fired back at johnson's testimony declaring at no point during my tenure at the d.n.c. did anyone from the f.b.i. or any other government agency contact or communicate with me about russian intrusion on the d.n.c. network so it appears it's d.n.c. said versus d.h. has said here on capitol hill was we start watching the hawks. forty. three that's. what the. like you know what i got. was

a. welcome one and all the watching the hawks i am tired robot on top of the wall as a child all right well the walls sunstone i will put it to you this this this you know how do you see. does this battle now between the two organizations is this hurting the credibility of the d n c i mean after all you know they basically like. the russians have you know it was the biggest threat to national security but now it would appear at least according to the jobs and the kind of crowd strike we don't really need you know official help on this we don't need the f.b.i. there's this hurt their credibility in all of this well you know i mean but i mean

i was told by the democrats we were told very clearly that we are supposed to always always always always but we everything and i mean if you tells us we should never question the department of homeland security and surveillance and everything else so if i if i follow the tried and true blue democrat i would be saying well will well you guys like him and i think i don't understand that what i think is very interesting is just the turn of events and especially debbie wassermann troll two has had a rough road a little bit. as a rough road i think that's a way to put it but i think what was really interesting was that in response to johnson's testimony last night representative yesterday i did representative jackie spear from from california democrat who sits on the house committee intelligence committee disputed the testimony of the head of you know jay johnson as you know former head of the former head of the department. security and said she said there

was a low of those levels staffer who was contacted and that was the extent of it. for a lower level staff so there's no they're already throwing some. low level staffer under the boss but on top of it they're now saying that the very intelligence people the very government the very people that they just that they said in they were administration that they said were so great that we have to trust implicitly that they didn't trust. their you know interesting ok now you have like two different versions ago saying remember contact representatives say well they just contacted someone lower. what do you make of all those first of all it doesn't really matter who contacted who if the d.n.c. really was concerned about the hacks i'm sure they were at that point that we stepped down right the whole point was well we've been exposed then they should have contacted the department of the government departments to help support their

investigation but the real issue is that you know johnson's testimony wasn't just about the d.n.c. hacks he actually went on to this whole issue of russia hacking and saying look i have no evidence that the russians actually affected any of the machines and he said yes there were russian hackers up operational from what you know what we can tell they were looking around they were so you basically compared it to people walking on the street and looking and seeing if the houses are open whose people are home but he never said that he said look we have no evidence of russians actually affected interfered with the voting process so if that's really what the evidence of the rest of you have to look at that's most critical at this juncture and not the exposure of something that really was a rather vapid if you want to expose you could go after hillary clinton's e-mails and things around benghazi right which was that the kerry is thing in the world is a russian hackers and all they come out with this a bunch of whiny d.n.c. staffer pundits laning about how people don't like the popular kids well i mean it's had their. eye on popular and you should let me know. matter what you but

what's interesting is moving forward it looks like it did you know there's johnson's testimony did make an impact you know how the house intelligence committee ship was but kind of like the lead guys always on t.v. talking about russian how good they were he told n.p.r.'s abbie cornish that in the light of johnson's testimony quote we're going to be bringing in officials in fact in the very near future from the b. and c. some of the people to find out what was the situation was there an unwillingness or reluctance to share their server with the f.b.i. or do you just not something that gives me if you think a crime took place is that the thing that you then go to the authorities who would be able to decipher what's on there right but instead you want to a private company a private company that you're paying to give you potentially i mean i'm sure you want they're paying you they're going to give you what they think you want to hear at the end of the day. sorry i have got to see you with i want to talk about crime . before the election he said there's going to a million voters this in franchised voters of color who would normally vote

democrat who would be disenfranchised by voter rolls using a cross check and other things like this software that's the real investigation and that's not being called for because you have to create a war with russia and it's just it's it's insane to create to follow this one narrative you know basically to lose our democracy here because there is this fight this in franchise it takes place in this country we know it right and it's very simple it's very. old school american political tactics this idea of point the direction point the finger in the other direction and the thing with the debbie wassermann schultz thing that infuriates me is that these are the same people who sat there and said that we anybody who didn't vote for hillary and anybody vote if their party were horrible disgusting human beings i've been called vile names for even suggesting that someone might not want to vote for hillary clinton during the election and now i'm looking at the broad like the i want the broadest because they're women i mean my take that the wrong way but they're in could the incompetence the level of incompetence that at eight. congresswoman and

the former secretary of state the their entire the foundations of democracy got hacked by a supposedly hostile foreign country and y'all didn't call the department of homeland security but it's pretty ridiculous when you really break it down. and she doesn't have a grave yeah a record of a lot of saving of all where. we may spend over six hundred billion on our military but for some the d.c. bubble it will just never be enough need john mccain the senate's warhawk in chief who in a thirty page request for even more many have this to say for do long we have allowed the budget constraints to drive strategy it is time to turn this around and return to the first order question what do we need our men who tarried to do for the day shared well apparently one thing our military needs to be doing is providing ninety three million dollars worth of uniforms for the afghan army but not just any old

uniforms these have to be a rich dark green uniform with special camouflage to blend in with the dense forest lush flora except here's the problem afghanistan doesn't have too many dense forests i mean if we're to believe our own central intelligence agency what areas compose exactly two percent of afghanistan and all afghan soldiers really have to blend in with for the most part is desert students barren hills and snow capped mountains so unless we are so successfully fighting the taliban that they will soon have nowhere to hide but the trees and we certainly don't envision such a lucky break through anytime soon why does the new inspector general report show the pentagon's wasted twenty eight million unfashionably forward forest. for the soldiers in afghanistan. you know you hear above over and over again and we go along of the three of us here. running the bow. seriously as long as i can remember. we're going to go over six trillion that came out i think

last year that number came out six trillion then they said one hundred twenty five billion just the mystery of waste this past february and then i reminded a bit afghanistan the forty three million dollar gas station to go nowhere right and all i can think is afghanistan drugs and graft because there's no way you can actually spend this kind of money on the services you put twenty million dollars the afghan army is not that big i'm sorry and they're making this stuff in china anyway aren't they i mean it's not going to cost you twenty million dollars for you know what brand it is this is over i believe about a ten year period but you're still over a ten year period still looking out over you know it's going to reach twenty eight ten year period are still looking at almost like a million. a year on uniforms which is ridiculous plus like you said there are dark colored forest green camouflage that doesn't make any sense for the terrain. i guess what your goal the fight the midnight. oil held there and there's a reason for that according to the inspector general of the afghan defense minister

picked the pattern from an online lineup because he liked what he saw so i was going to this is really how we allocate our defense budget now from the afghan government doing essential what online shopping yeah but sadly it was amazon and also it's any minute any pay now you know ways that even more disturbing is the fact that the so these uniforms got even more expensive. both of your parents but their father served so one of the things they had is that all the buttons be replacing the birds which you know anything about the military it's a little weird that you would do that but even more disturbing was when justifying the on selection the company itself that makes these uniforms and the pattern and nouns that darker colors have a greater psychological impact providing a greater sense of authority and story to both the user and the viewer than later callers so. darth vader well i mean if you're tough. give them

a uniform you know what. they're talking about uniforms that you're wearing for show like you know when you're showing off your military and you want to give certain colors do have you know you look at the little who is there but that would not birdlike in the field you see not caring what they're trying to blend in and protect and do the whole thing that camouflage is supposed to do i would love to know where the money really went yeah but meanwhile for the twenty thousand budget they're asking for the white house is proposing fifty billion dollars more for the pentagon which will be offset by cuts the state department programs like food stamps medicaid and student loan assistance so that's where we need to spend more money obviously on the afghan uniforms afghan uniform but we don't have enough money to provide insurance for our elderly we can't help them stand their homes we can't help kids get prepared for the next generation and then the next day and said their future is where leaving them and entire generation in the wind because a bunch of baby warmers think it's ok that you spend twenty eight million on garbage and we are and we all know what the end of the day you know we spend more

on that let's go to war department but we spend more on our war department than almost every other nation on earth combined with i mean if you really break i mean we're talking close to six hundred billion close to a trillion dollars up there what are we afraid of at the end of the day that we need this much money you know and i think the problem that you're seeing now is that you know they build a piece of those fighter jets and a piece of these things in every state of the union to where no one on capitol hill is ever going to really make the necessary cuts to get our defense in line with our budget so we can cut down on the deficit because anyone says this kind of defense spending doesn't play into our deficit is crazy and there's one more thing that people don't really talk about maybe i'll cover it a little deeper on the show at some point but these government contracts when they get down to that level of actually being at a company like a defense contractor somebody makes trucks what the people that work there one even though they get this influx of a government contract it doesn't raise their wages they don't get my. overtime

they're expected to work harder and sometimes for less or if they cut back so that they don't have to pay them there is that great point all right as we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our poll shows on our t.v. dot com coming up author and filmmaker darren berger enters the hawk's nest to discuss her new book on the prevention of autism and then it is on exactly looking peachy in georgia stay tuned watching the us. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us is it just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to lunch you know what it is that really packs a punch. yeah it is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than the blue. sea people you never heard of love jack tonight president of the world bank so he doesn't really seriously send us an e-mail.

for decades the american middle class has been railroaded by washington politics. big money corporate interests has thrown down a lot of boys that's how it is in the news culture in this country now that's where i come in. i mean it still on our t.v. america i'll make sure you don't get railroaded you'll get the straight talk in the straight news. if you can't say the word autism without it getting in a debate these days about whether you're crazy. to believe vaccines might be

causing it but with the c.d.c. estimating in twenty fifteen about one in forty five children now have an autism spectrum disorder it may be one of the fastest growing developmental disorders in the u.s. even more devastating as a parent of a child on the autism spectrum have a higher chance of a second child also developing so what causes it the mayo clinic has announced the scientific consensus that vaccines don't cause autism but no one seems to know what does or is the mother of an autistic boy and the author of a new book how to prevent autism she joins us now to discuss her research but i'd like to start by asking you to are about your personal experience of how you believe your son developed autism. sure so my son i was doing a very alternative vaccine schedule i was when i was pregnant i was that person reading books on vaccines because i was nervous about that they didn't really make sense to me like why not let my baby develop their immune system properly without bombarding them with you know things that seem like they're not good for them so

what i had done is when i started to vaccinate about six months i noticed slowly with each vaccine i was only giving one every couple months that things were starting to go wrong he was developing eggs and he was developing a yeast rash that was chronic food allergies where he didn't have these issues before the vaccinations and then finally it culminated with the last vaccine i gave him which was a hip shot at eighteen months and when i put him to bed about an hour or two after the vaccine i came to him in the morning and my son could never speak again for seven years we did an m.r.i. which showed to a skin backstroke so an m.r.i. is don't lie and you can see my son had suffered a stroke he couldn't speak and then he slowly unraveled his gross motor skills he couldn't even climb up stairs anymore. you know it's interesting despite the. you know the the. evidence in the schedule of vaccines and the connection to your

to your sons my all these you are actually don't label yourself or why why do you kind of separate yourself from. because it's just like anything i could compare it to abortion because it's a good example i would never get an abortion for myself but that doesn't mean i don't want the choice to be available for my child my daughter so the fact is i'm not against you getting vaccines or anybody else they can be available i just would never want one for myself and i think they're dangerous and i don't think they're helpful they don't work what do you see as the dangers of states like california now passing this s.b. to seven seven mandates vaccines for kids going to public school where do you see the danger lies in in that sort of forced hand of the state saying if you want to go to public school you have to get all of these vaccines out a certain time at a certain schedule. well it's medical fascism to take someone's education and hold

it hostage to make them comply with medical interventions that you want them to take i mean it's just it's unconstitutional. that's a very valid point i think but obviously we were fighting an uphill battle here when it comes to the scientific community because the consensus is obviously saying that vaccines don't cause autism so do you think in terms of the the battle to protect kids that is what we focusing too much on the vaccine connection to autism and not on environmental exposure to things like talks like fluoride heavy metals i mean. sure i'm glad you brought up that point so my book is not about vaccines so basically we have epidemics of all chronic illness we have epidemics of childhood cancer so obviously what we're doing right now to raise our kids it's not working i mean right now you can go into any nurse's office and they have like one hundred epi pens on the wall and i'm forty six years old i was born in one nine hundred

seventy eight peanut butter and jelly every day so the point is what we're doing is working the kids are sicker than they've ever been so you have to follow the precautionary principle right what's been going on in the last twenty thirty years that has changed so much that could be affecting our children because we haven't found just one exact cause so you have to look at we have wise coming at us from everywhere we have no idea what that electromagnetic radiation does to a growing child's brains then you have g.m.o. this that's a huge experiment that's been doing going on i mean they've done studies where they've give fed rats g m o's and they've grown humongous tumors and then you have pesticides you have more chemicals now than we've ever had i mean the study was being done where babies are being born to the environmental working group did a study in two thousand and five and found that there's over one hundred chemicals in a baby's cord blood and. and that comes from one place that comes from

a mother her body burden and that's why we talk a lot about in the book preconception wellness cleaning out before you have your first baby and especially if you have a child on the spectrum making sure to clean it out before you have another child and that's something that's interesting because one of one of the things that we've seen over the last year has been more studies in the connection between if the genetic predisposition to it let's say this idea that parents have one child with autism their other children are more likely to develop autism. with this genetic predisposition in one do you see doesn't this indicate this sort of idea that there's indication that there's some sort of a genetic predisposition and why aren't we looking at that closer since that genetic predisposition predisposition like you said could cause risks later on like these are things we could avoid in children. sure i'm really glad you brought that

up because i have an entire chapter in my book called the genetics and metabolic pathways we talk about these genetic predispositions very often one really common one is called far and that causes a huge problem there's never been found to be a genetic cause one single gene but these snips they're called they the genetic predispositions you're talking about they make it so that the body does not function properly but the wonderful thing is there are certain supplements that you can take to work around that genetic break and that's what's so important for testing for it and seeing an integrated physician who can help you if you find that you have one of these genetic predispositions so what was what are the best ways that you discovered in researching your book and writing this book for parents to come a better game plan to better protect their children. from developing autism or other

you know getting afflicted with some pretty major diseases like what are some of the best things that a parent can do. ok well it starts before you get pregnant if possible that doesn't mean that you should throw your hands up in the air and say oh my god i can't do anything if you find when you're already pregnant but eating an anti-inflammatory diet that would take out all the food that's in a box or you know a bag eating organic is incredibly important if you are not eating organic you are you have tons of glyphosate which is a very dangerous pesticide all over our food and then making sure you stay away from g.m.o. is so it's basically organic fruits vegetables meats not seed so first start eating well that's one of the paramount importance is diet and then secondly there's a lot of things that you can get tested for i mean thyroid condition that's a very common auto immune so when women have a thyroid condition they're six times more likely to have a child with autism so again that's something that you can just easily check with

your primary practitioner and find out if you have a thyroid issue so these oh i'm certainly going to you know and certainly just changing over and getting toxic chemicals out of your house using safer personal care products some things are more obvious than others we only got about three minutes left but i do want to ask you what what's the responsible way for for parents to kind of you know help get the doctor community your get the health care industry and to get them to kind of at least start opening up to some of these things like the big problem is you know there's so hands on don't question it don't mention it don't talk about it you're crazy if you do what is a responsible way for parents to breach this subject with their doctor or you know about community. we in regards to vaccines or in regards to things in the book in regard to both. ok well as far as prevention strategies idol if you have

a doctor that's against you eating a clean diet and doing some testing preventative testing i mean you need to get another doctor that's clearly you know the case and as far as vaccines it's a parent's decision because ultimately it's the parents are going to be responsible for whatever outcome happens with the child and obviously there's tons of children that are vaccinated every day without incidence of autism that doesn't mean they're healthy and they're not sick with other chronic illnesses i mean for one thing most people don't know that exit was a side effect of vaccines and that is a very common condition but it can snowball into something much worse if it's not treated holistically. i just think you so much that's one wonderful sure for you to come on to join us and discuss your new book the bully how to prevent you for having me thank you.

puny little peaches covered peach farms across the southeastern united states causing a multimillion dollar disaster causing prices to rise for this southern fruit this includes the states of north carolina south carolina and georgia this is all due to these freezing temperatures across the southeast in mid march last year farms in georgia are produced eight million pounds of sweet georgia peaches compared to this year's two million seventy five percent drop that could leave dicky berms with nothing left to ship by early july beach researcher best job ever. who works with the university of georgia extension stated that twenty seventeen is for sure going to be remembered as one of the most difficult years in peach production in the southeastern united states in just the last month hold still prices for these georgia peaches went from twenty dollars to thirty dollars a markup of fifty percent while georgia peach is do have a pretty bad south carolina's loss is even worse where there's no. because

a ninety percent drop in production so this is definitely look and guys like and that. this was a very peachy show and that is our show for today remember everyone in this world we're not told we're loved enough so i tell you all i love you i am tyrol but i'm down to the last keep on watching those hawks never a great day and night everybody. what you have for breakfast yesterday why would you pick those up your wife or. what your biggest fear. in the bin on the hay ride was the last time i read a board you say if you ever met the best quarterback. that's one topic that doesn't

belong here now i need to do due to. more. our culture is awash in lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that. fiction until they are indistinguishable we have become the most. society on politics as a species of endless and needless political theater politicians bore into celebrity our two ruling parties are in reality one party corporate. those who attempt to puncture the. universe of the design the push through the t.v. and their exploits nation the little are pushed so far to the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has sold its soul for corporate money that we

might as well be mice squeaking against an apple. we must. welcome to. camp tonight i'm going to tell you how the special election in georgia was stolen from john asaf but before i get to that i have part two of my interview with peter joseph creator of the movement he's out with a new book and the last time we talked about the problems with our system this time he and i discussed the solutions how do we fix this mess and start moving forward

there are a lot. first of all the advertising against actually something else i wanted to ask you which is a while back for your other serious culture in decline i did a thing on advertising and about how abusive they are to you know what ads in general to what they're trying to get make us think and how and act. but i don't know what i what i don't thing i explicitly said is that it's basically the estimate is a thousand to three thousand ads and brand names a day and they're all really selling one thing it's need and solving that need with consuming consumerism is it possible to get past that system when we have that much advertising for this way of life like there's just thousands and thousands of heads telling you this is the way it has to be well here's the way i look at advertising the the rise of consumerism which by the way i don't know if people know that consumerism i considered a pejorative but actually this is this is an economic policy in the mid twentieth century so risen is a theory that people.
