to show us how much we care with all those amazing half time soldier in the crowd gimmicks and national anthem jet planes stadium fly overs according to the troubled water investigation from news twenty one the contaminating ages range from toxic paints to explosives to cleaning solvents to fire fighting bone lovely but what about the clean up u.s. clean up happening well a research study from the berkeley school of laws found that even though the d.o.b. is made significant strides in identifying investigating the level of compliance the nation of domestic based sites the pace of actual clean up has been quite slow as the government of governmental accountability office g.a.o. recently found most of the time and money has been spent studying the problem yes studying the problem to the tune of eleven point five billion taxpayer dollars and study in cleanup costs so far meanwhile residents living near those four hundred bases in the over three hundred yet to be tested are still drinking bad water while
2:30 am
walking on toxic grounds. our military industrial complex my friends the gift that just keeps on giving and i want to start watching all. of. you that i got. well there are plenty to watching over for us and that's after well that's good news. yeah i mean really surprise if you know anything about how the military sort of sets up shop then walks away we've seen it in the burn pits in afghanistan
2:31 am
or iraq this cleanup is not a high priority for the who are the united states military which when their own people notice that when the you know when the burn pits when their own soldiers are being affected by a much even less so when it's the community it's around as if that's just sort of the cost of living military yeah you know most of the people who live in these communities and the soldiers we're going to base are never aware of that they're going you know a lot of times it's easier for us to kind of say like go well that was in the past you know happened in the fifty's and there before they knew it was toxic well lot of the stuff happened in the eighty's when we were a little bit more aware of talks are going to begs the question of you know what's being used on military bases today both here in the states and around the world but it's also toxic that we're just not you know aware of or not paying attention to because we already know to talk about right well it's the thing that we know that the things that can keep us safe from one danger are sometimes hold their own and
2:32 am
that you know one of the situations here were the one of the biggest dangers that there knowing that they're noticing are with these per polly's gloried alkali their substances they called p.f.a. yes in case you don't want to remember a big crazy that's hard to pronounce they were originally developed by our lovely friends at three am and dupont they were over the years have never put a second third fourth it was used in consumer products like test one. scotchgard and then we stay in. the good stuff for the seventy's and eighty's. they were used all the way up into the seventy's by you know in fire fighting foam and and you know there's tons of this stuff sort of sitting around so here it was used it was washing all of these air force bases it drains down it gets in the water if you're training at an air force base. and you're putting this firefighting foam on over and over because it doesn't magically just go away yeah i got so down
2:33 am
in the fifty's but it was only going to get one person to is the you know what really hurts i think a lot of these people is what's coming out about when the military actually knew right was dangerous and well i mean we worked to remove it yes i mean it was in one thousand maybe one that the air force actually looked into these specifics the air force aerospace medical research laboratory started conducting tests and finally it was a certainty as to about exposure to earlier versions of the p.f.a. asses that we were talking about and they found out they were harmful in female rats and caused behavioral changes in offspring so it wasn't a major role of the women and their children get a fact. but it wasn't until august of twenty sixteen twenty six scene that they are for a start of replacing the original firefighter foam with a new environmentally responsible so this thing that they knew caused harm was harmful in female rats and cause behavior problems in their offspring mates kept
2:34 am
spraying it around and then finally in twenty six they went all right well over a place by far of hollywood decided suddenly e.p.a. had said no this thing is actually rather dangerous and we shouldn't be using only products that all you know you see that have a lot to the military might be a step behind cutting edge on taking over safety does go beyond that there's also this idea we have a ton of it sitting around a response just replace that every time the word say it was one of the residents who live near was a fairchild or air force base where this is you know come out of the grohl because they didn't feel like sharing that information years ago i have no faith no faith in believing anything they have to say now when they try i'm told but it's you know i would imagine that's the truth for a lot of people doing with the military it's like if you're if you're not going to tell me what to do one of the dangers why am i going to trust you now if you're not going to clean up the mess right billion. just studying the mess with a little bit of cleanup. you know one of the end of the day is the war then you see
2:35 am
the solar year the the george air force base. in the mojave desert in california now closed that i was added to the a.p.a. superfund list back in one nine hundred ninety you have to wait for this with jet fuel benzene tried chlorophyll lean lovely stuff to sides and radioactive waste had contaminated the groundwater around georgia have more space it was closed in ninety two they found out about there's a ninety still wait a few years to close. them but you know residents there are told news twenty one who did a lot of work on this story the job they drink gallons of gallons of water and it tastes a little metallic the chemical you know this is going to use or at oh it was in the middle it was hot you know i think it's maybe just a metallic smell from something and you know that was it's pretty it's pretty incredible i think it's one of those things that we have to look at because look if there are ignoring environmental laws or not cleaning up with any of that
2:36 am
reasonable amount of time are they really going to do that the what some eight hundred. military bases we have around the world where there might be less laws now and that's something we might all end up paying for something. whether you are punching them or eating cake to ignore them the latest incarnation of the most loathed political group in history nazi is making it hard to know exactly where the moral high ground is over the weekend internet domain registrar company go daddy tweeted that they had quote informed the daily star mar that they have twenty four hours to move the domain to another provider as they have violated our terms of service the daily storm are an american neo nazi and a white supremacist news and retail sites then tried to deregister reregister the site with google within less than three hours google then refused to host the registration once content distributor cloud flare c.e.o. . matthew prince and his company's relationship the site saying a company policy but his own discretion saying quote the tipping point for us
2:37 am
making this decision was that the team behind at least stormer made the claim that we were secretly supporters of their ideology twitter facebook discord and go fund me have all broken their business ties with the site and others that support similar violent and neo nazi ideology but in this instance the nazi might actually be the least of our concerns see according to the electronic frontier foundation they have warnings that the dangers inherent in allowing private companies the leeway to censor speech are serious quote because internet intermediaries especially those with few competitors control so much on line speeds the consequences of their decisions have far reaching impact on speech around the world so now we must ask ourselves their speech in the united states truly is free in the way we think this is there's a there's a. story you. just related not to say let's listen to this very totally clear one i don't disagree with any private company even publicly funded company any company
2:38 am
deciding they do not want to host any kind of contact i don't have an issue with that at all their choice if i own a company and i found the neo nazis or you know any of these doesn't have to be like a hate group if i realize that something i think is bad for the world as a poor as the c.e.o. or whoever now it probably is my discretion on that only i would say. look it's a really good question to ask how dangerous is it that we let well it's always that kind of slippery slope argument to a certain extent which is the slippery slope of reserves is a little silly argument but i think. you know it's always a question of you know. from the ocean point so that's kind of like you know there's not a lot of these sites to be you know not a lot of these sites and the way it was to begin with know who control you know what it is so is that so. like silencing your free speech you know it to me it's always up to the private entity if they decide their private business decide like
2:39 am
you're saying we don't want this we don't want this but. where does using you know like nazi tactics to fight nazi you know that some point do you become like your enemy the world violently aggressive you get the more you son sort of the more all that at some point you suddenly before you wake up you wake up one day of zero zero am i the bad i might not believe the same values the nazis are or these type of white nationalists our right but i'm doing the same things they would do when they find ok. dangerous ground that i think we're all in right and i think that's the concern because you know we're so we're so far down this road now where it's if you don't say something if you don't step in if you don't do something then you're sort of this apologist to these things later killers but then that's becoming a free speech absolute as you're saying no matter what i always have to no matter how it or it no matter how disgusting because when you said the other wise you have people now everybody is running around with this idea that you know it's about free
2:40 am
speech is about free speech but then it's people not really understanding what that means right and the thing we have to remember the most was that the first amendment as much as i detest hate and detest people you know you're reading fear and hate and violence the free speech amendment you know the first amendment is there to protect popular speech as well as popular speech but that's from a government that's from a government now private industry they can do it now if you want if they were wronged you as a private as you can sue them we know if you feel the way it is very critical and how they have terms of service that they allow themselves that they cannot you know we have a rule we also have laws in this country that businesses are allowed to not serve anyone at their discretion. the biggest concern here is that you know you talk about free speech absolutists this idea that it's everybody and you must say. i wonder you know i ask you the a.c.l.u. sued charlottesville. for that march to take place this is where a lot of like there the a.c.l.u.
2:41 am
was helping the group that was putting on the march that ended and violence and brought this all to forefront though i don't think it should have taken that i think you probably should have noticed you know if you didn't notice that there were people pretend you know acting like monsters running around and that's a whole nother conversation but is it splitting hairs because now the a.c.l.u. says they won't protect anybody they won't you know do that if the people marching are demonstrating bring guns so is that splitting hairs sensitive to constitutionally protected rights is this just splitting hairs i think what gives you back to like i think it gives it back to what we mean you've talked about it looks like with the protests and things like that the people are going to a protest it's one thing to go to a protest to practice your free speech and say i'm going to hold signs to all that but when you bring weapons with you that means you're going there ready to rock and roll which doesn't mean that you're going there are opinions you're armed you know or whether it's a club or a gun you're armed or a to go that's not if money isn't free speech neither is a club neither is
2:42 am
a club or a gun you know using voice to use your sign you know about free speech is to me you know you don't you don't point a gun at somebody and say free speech 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 that are tea dot com and starting this monday august twenty eighth we are going interstellar is watching the hawks and all your favorite are two shows will now be airing on direct t.v. channel three twenty one satellite time all right coming up in the second half of our show we talk we talk about reigning in wall street with matt taibbi in our t.v.'s the show will. looking out for you'll never leave the place where it was sort of a board stay tuned to watch football. there's
2:43 am
2:44 am
two thousand and eight after movies like the big short and margin call some even know the basic details of the subprime mortgage industry many financial journalists are quick to point out however that the library scandal on raveling over the last decade is the one we actually need to be paying attention to all those the housing bubble certainly did colossal damage what many forget is that the artificially fixed rate in their pens three hundred fifty trillion of loans of derivatives all around the world and as rolling stone's matt taibbi says simply summed up the raid itself is just a rolling fantasy not only constantly rigged but also based on a framework that doesn't really exist tell you rejoined tyrrel and recently to discuss what options remain to fix this flawed system this is you know it today's day and age breaking it is global you can't get around that this affects everyone on earth whatever but do something to her. it's like this right right so it begs the question at the end of the day i mean a system like. my born in fake may say fixing interest rates trying to basically
2:45 am
create some sort of sanity within the markets are we seeing that it's actually better to see a consolidation within this financial structure as we've seen obviously over the years has been more you know thanks to become too big to fail they've been seen in more consolidation the banks are bigger we have to see of the central banking system which only one hundred years old in america for example i mean are these things actually good for the for the economy and for stabilization or do you think i actually think that it be better to have more liberalization you know busting up the big banks basically having more of a free you know free market type of system occurring within the banking structure having less centralization of control. i think i mean live war is a great example of why it's scary when. power is concentrated in a relatively small number of hands you know what what the original lie or scandal showed was that a handful of people and you know well in
2:46 am
a lot of his we're talking about the mid to late twenty's you know traders who are just out to make a lot of money and they're you know for them they're calling up to live. in their bank and say hey can you do you think pushed down the swiss french today and you know it might be just a couple of more value than dollars for them but if x. you know hundreds of millions of people you know we have a situation where we're twenty banks in the world can have. you know complete dominion over interest rates you know that that's the problem with the with the concentration of capital with these two big distil bags when they all misbehave kind of in concert we're all we're all three of them because because there's just so much concentration of power in we see that one day when they replicate each other's behaviors. when they came to market together that's when things get really dangerous now and that's why yet it's it's probably more desirable to have smaller
2:47 am
banks and to have just a relative peace hands you know a handful of that huge once i just want to know kind of jumping off the library topic but it's all part of the same topic but we're at. twenty seventeen two thousand and seven is where we saw the kind of the early shades of the new two thousand and eight banking crisis you've been covering the banks for quite a long time and wall street and all that in ten years you know what do you see are we are we going to repeat this i mean i've heard rumblings of the kind of a car loan situation kind of repeating the crisis of two thousand and eight ten years later where we said in your opinion matt every trade is that the too big to fail banks are going to get bigger. and more concentrated ends and then they're going to have to eventually more power and that was one of the major causes of the bailout. was that the bailouts essentially caused a series of artificial mergers which made it which made the two biggest banks even
2:48 am
more too big to fail e s. so it it's a problem that we're going to continue to have and you know everybody is talking about the bill the bill that. you know that i did a student loan problem we were seeing a lot of the same kind of bubble like behavior that we saw in mortgages before she does that aid in a number of different areas whether it's you mentioned car loans student loans another one it's the same mechanism you know there's still securitizing and collateralized in these debts and so you know it's the same problem that existed prior to two thousand and eight exists the numbers for markets and you know i there's anxiety certainly in all those areas it's hard to predict what will happen but the one thing that everybody knows is that there probably isn't sufficient reserve in all of us and all of the the.
2:49 am
there's no way that people can start to make calls to reform in this obscene things like ron paul's you know audit the fed. but you know that's supposedly was supposed to happen i don't know how that reality active i really was but the idea of like is there anything that the people that people can do to essentially call the big banks into account call the central bank into account tax reform the system before the next collapse. sure and the major problem there but everybody knows where it's not it's not complicated the major problem is to break up the too big to still cracks and you know you know senators like sherrod brown jeff merkley introduced legislation over the years they slowly picked up. you know. co-sponsors particularly the senate you know the house as it's not a whole lot of movement on this. and everybody is it would be
2:50 am
a relatively easy thing to implement all you have to do is basically make a size limit on how big these companies can be and once you get over that the governments are stepping in and forcing the sell off divisions of the legislation so it wouldn't be that hard to implement but the political problem of getting everybody across the room because you know i think that's probably not going to happen until we have another crisis unfortunately and to get it out that was our opportunity after two thousand and eight so show her body the flaws in the system and everybody just kind of you can do a stranger's cross right up time had to be rolling stone good career co-host of the weekly podcast harpo report thank you so much for coming on and lightning us today always a pleasure excellent show tyro you care. nowhere do scientific advances carry more light for the consequences of the field of medicine than a recent breakthrough scientists may have discovered a solution to the human organ that leaves patients often buying while waiting on the transplant list and not solution may come from genetically modified pigs. for
2:51 am
more on that story we turned our tradition of it has a team of scientists affiliated with harvard university and also a private company have created piglets that could one day provide organs for human transplants this technique could help hundred. the thousands of people who are awaiting those transplants every single year and a report published thursday in the journal science researchers were able to use gene editing and cloning to create virus free piglets that can possibly be used for human organ transplants and significance of studies. now there are. so there. can be thought of as. the scientists use the gene editing technique called crisper to modify the d.n.a. of pig cells and remove a number of viruses also known as curves that are potentially harmful to the pigs organs scientists then clone those that are that sells them put them in an egg and
2:52 am
then put that embryo into a so this allows scientists to eventually breed pigs with virus free organs according to the organ procurement and transplantation network there are nearly one hundred twenty thousand americans on the wait list for lifesaving organ transplant and only a little over twenty thousand transplants have been performed this year but between january and july this year there have only been about ninety five hundred donors and the organ shortage continues an average of twenty people die each day waiting for an organ transplant and every ten minutes someone is added to the transplant wait list but researchers hope to help change that statistic with this medical breakthrough i have been ordered not to go. and so the idea is that if you use another and. and we engineer the organ. transplantation then we can. and didn't have the constant sort of organs which now the research are still in its
2:53 am
early stages and it could be years before the method is actually used the scientists say that there are still other variables that have to be tested such as immunological incapabilities reporting in new york turn it in chavez r.t. . wow you know so we're going to put the question to because i love these you know science britain these walls and birds but the real question is with robotics we're in the early with you know g.m.o. . pig. what do you prefer organic. organs inside you if you need to replace one or robotic cyborg i'm going to go but i am honestly going to go with robot who i'd rather have an ai heart than a pig or nothing against pigs but i like bacon. but i mean a very knowing him but also i have swine flu once so i don't everything but i was imagining things that they're doing those that pigs are actually and believe closest to human beings physically we are
2:54 am
a lean muscle mass that's why they use them for experimentation in a lot of times because we do our our flesh is very similar size of our organs are very similar but i'm going to get to say why what i don't know but at the same time you know you do have to bring up the fact that you're just killing the pigs and you're like harvesting these animals just to build an indoor that's on go a robot a little piglet so rather cute us rather than the thing i know obviously the cure of the out of all the more we want to say but no also try to go save the spiders of the world. i just don't want to mix up my organ donation my medical science with my bacon. robusto taste grew out of the forest i would been very confused by what you . see is like there's always something to celebrate well at least on line see today it's one of the country's greatest treasures and no i'm not talking about the brazilian blowout hair streaming take me or. molded italian ice cream both also of
2:55 am
which have their own special day today bought senior citizens according to the administration on aging close to thirty percent of adults every five live alone and the twenty's while study of the university of california california university of california san francisco found that forty three. the percent of seniors report feeling lonely on a regular basis today reach out not only to the senior citizens closest to you but to those who might have no one our seniors many who are vets from previous foreign wars have been short changed and left behind by the very system we fight to improve each day celebrate their hard work and keep it going and their honor here is to our seniors who deserve that you scream shiny hair a love and respect this national senior citizens day always go to respect their elders always gotta respect their elders unless they destroy the economy and leave us with a total student loan anyway and that is our show for you to remember in the summer of computers the world we are not told real love build up so i tell you all i love
2:56 am

china steals a lot of all america's intellectual property and that by the way to fight it is not to be a wall building kind of you know troll living under a bridge and hoping the bad people go away be bold get rid of copyright law get rid of that take my own patents make them free to everyone to use that would kill wall street immediately i'm all for it but i don't have that option. but also. to the ship between kids sure it was approved suggested no and a fairly strong one there were two thousand. involved in the study it's a very extensive study done by a well respected scientist. do chemicals that down the advertising really increase the risk of cancer and i chose a means of known to infuse damage in the last intestine is it
2:59 am
a sham that skepticism they do not believe that risk is is truly by independent scientists so did the need industry period you for this i received some compensation for my time as was the others why is that the meat lobby definitely didn't like what we were doing and if you want to learn moolah you'll get a definite on the flop. you're not. a. big business against health. but you're starting to show us. all. in safety.
