five billion taxpayer dollars in 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 walking on toxic grounds. our military industrial complex my friend was the the gift that just keeps on giving i want to start watching will. wonder what. the. real thing would be. as the plot of. what the like you know that i got. this. week so. well there are plenty to watching dog science i wrote one for us and i'm happy that while it's good news adults. yeah i mean i'm really

surprised if you know anything about how the military sort of sets up shop then walks away we've seen it in the burn that's in afghanistan or iraq in this clean up is not a high priority for the who are the united states military would not when their own people notice it when the well 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 or a military yeah you know most of the people live in these communities and the soldiers we're going on the 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 oh well i was in the past you know happened in the fifty's when they were dumping stuff before they knew what was toxic wall out 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 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 yet or not paying attention to

because we already know it's toxic but not saying anything 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 that you know one of the situations here where the one of the biggest dangers that there are no ain't. that they're noticing are with these per floor aided out goals their substances they called p.f.a. yes that case you don't want to remember a big crazy but it'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 stay in. the good stuff from 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 washed 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 fire fighting foam on over and over it goes to it doesn't magically just go away yeah ok so down in the fifty's but it was only going to get. to. the you know what really hurts a lot of these people is what's coming out of the military actually right was dangerous and wasn't any work to remove or yes i mean it was in one thousand nine hundred one that the air force actually looked into these specifics the air force aerospace medical research laboratory started conducting tests finally because they serve notice to about exposure to earlier versions of the p.f.a. asses or we were talking about and they found that they were harmful in female rats and caused behavioral changes in offspring so it was a major role of the women and their children to get a fact. but it wasn't until august of two thousand and sixteen twenty sixteen that they are for a start of replacing the original fire fighter 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 they just kept spraying around and then finally in twenty six they went all right well over a place of honor of hollywood. society had said and the e.p.a. had said no this thing is actually rather dangerous and we shouldn't be using only products at all you know you see that happen a lot to the military might be a step behind cutting edge on technology find 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 air air force base when this is you know come out of the grol and said quote 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 and tell us that it's now 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 and when it's dangerous why am i going to trust you now if you're not going to clean up the mess and i spend billions 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 this all over you the the george air force base in the in the mojave desert in california now closed that was added to the a.p.a. superfund list back in one nine hundred ninety up to wait for this one tab jet fuel benzene try chlorate the lean lovely stuff just asides and radioactive waste had contaminated the groundwater around georgia force base 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 told news twenty one who did a lot of work on this story the job they drank gallons of gallons of water and it tasted a little metallic the chemical you you know this is great you said oh it was that i'm not terribly well it's hot you know maybe just a metallic smell from something now that was. pretty it's pretty incredible and i

think it's one of those things that we have to look at because look if they're ignoring environmental laws or not cleaning up any of that reasonable amount of time are they really going to do that or what some eight. you know military bases we have a world where there might be less laws no 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 loathsome 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 stormer that they have twenty four hours to move the domain to another provider as they have violated our terms of service the daily stormer and american neo nazi and 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 added his company's relationship with a company policy but his own discretion saying quote the tipping point for us 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 fund here 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 impacts 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 the. story you. just

related not she was living in this very totally clear water and i don't disagree with any private company even publicly funded company any company deciding they do not want to host any kind of calm. right and i don't have an issue with that at all it's their choice if i own a company and i found out that neo nazis or you know any of these doesn't have to be like a hate group if i if i realize that something i think is bad for the world as a poor as the c.e.o. or whoever would probably use my discretion on that only i would side with them. 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 a slippery slope or is there's a little silly argument letting a little slow but you know it's always that question of you know. for sure from mission points out it'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 main sites to begin with know who control you know what it is so is that in itself like silencing you know free speech you know it to

me it's always up to the private entity if they decide their private business decide like 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 some 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 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 well that's the 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 the. 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 otherwise you have people now everybody is running around with this idea that you know it's about free 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 if 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 is from the government no private industry they can do it now if you want if they were wronged you as a private as you can sue them but we don't if you feel that way it is very very cold and now they have terms of service that they allow themselves that they cannot you know we have 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 absolute is 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 they are the a.c.l.u. is helping the group that was putting on the march that ended in violence and brought this all. so for fun though i don't think it's sort of 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 since you have two constitutionally protected rights like what is this just splitting hairs i can give you back to like or don't like i think it gives it back to what we mean you've talked about it looks like with the blunt 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 against this summer 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 opinion right

you're armed you know or whether it's a club or a gun you're armed or radio does not have money isn't free speech neither is a club neither is a club or a gun you know use our voice use your sign put it you know that's what free speech is to me you know you don't you don't point a gun at somebody and say free speech and 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 at r t 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 to the show that will have you that we could look out for you'll never lose your job for the play where it was a report stay tuned to watch. and

steals a lot of all america's intellectual property but the way to fight it is not to become a wall building kind of you know troll living under a bridge and helping the bad people go away be bold get rid of copyright laws get rid of that take my own patents make them free to everyone to use i would kill wall street immediately i'm all for it but i don't have that option or it. seems wrong. just don't hold. me. to shape our. active. and engaged equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. everyone by now knows about the great financial crack crack national crisis of 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

a housing bubble certainly did colossal damage what many forget is that the artificially fixed rate and their pens three hundred fifty trillion 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 join tyrrel and recently to discuss what options remain to fix this flawed system this is you know it today's day and age is global you can't get around that this affects everyone on earth whatever but do something. right right so it's a big question at the end of the day i mean a system like. my board in fact basically fixing interest rates trying to basically 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 big to become too big to fail they've been sued but more consolidation the banks are bigger we obviously have a central banking system which is 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 we'd better 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 so. of control. i think i mean live war is a great example of why it's scary when. essential 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 in a lot of his we're talking about people in their 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 lie worse than it's in it or in their bank and say hey can you do you think over and pushed down the swiss franc today and you know it might be just

a couple of more value than dollars for them but it effects you know hundreds of millions of people you know you can't have a situation where were 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 game the market together that's when things get really dangerous and that and that's why yet it's it's probably more desirable to have smaller banks and have just a relative peace hands you know a handful of that huge once i just why they're 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 your opinion about every trade is that the too big to fail banks are going to get bigger. and more concentrated ends and they're going to have to eventually more power but that was one of the major causes cost of the bailout. was that the bailouts especially caused a series of artificial mergers which made it which made the two biggest banks even more too big to fail lee so 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 due to student loan problem we were

seeing a lot of the same kind of bubble like your that we saw in mortgages before she does that eight 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 so you it's the same problem that existed prior to two thousand and eight exists the numbers for markets and you know 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 this and all of the. the. federal reserve and the national banks to be able to buddy up the next time so the next time if there is one of these meltdowns you know that it won't be so easy to correct wow do you think there's any way that people can start to make calls to reforming the system at this point i mean we've seen things like ron paul's like you know call for audit the fed obviously you know that's supposedly was supposed to happen i don't know

how that route 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 the major problem here a bit everybody goes 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 code co-sponsors particularly the senate you know the house as it's not a whole lot of movement on this. and everybody it would be 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 true crime you know i think that's probably not going to happen until we have another crisis unfortunately 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 crossrail time had to be rolling stone good during co-host of the weekly podcast harpo report thank you so much for coming on and lightning us today always a pleasure excellent show you care. nowhere do scientific advances carry more life or consequences of the field of medicine than a recent breakthrough scientists may have discovered a solution to the human organ that leaves patients off and dying while waiting on the transplant list and not solution may come from genetically modified pigs. for 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 hundreds of 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 studies that. now there are. so there. big not have no aptitude. and so these 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 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 don't argue. that and so the idea is that if we use another. and we engineer the organ. transplantation then we can breed. and sort of have the constant sort of organs which now the research are still in its 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 turnitin chávez r.t. . wow you know tara 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 g g what is going to pick. what do you prefer organic. organs inside you if you need to replace one or robotic cyborg i'm going to go i am honestly going to go with robot i'd rather have an ai hard than a paid nothing against pigs but i like bacon. i don't want to be a very knowing him but also i have swine flu once so i don't everything but summarizing thing that they're doing those that pigs are actually i believe closest to human beings physically we are 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 them and or doesn't go a robot

a little piglet so rather cute us of like rather than the thing i know obviously that you're of the out of all the more we want to say but in a lot 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 tastes grew out of the forest i would been very confused how it. seems 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 which have their own special day to day 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. 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 herald love and respect this national senior citizens day always go to respect the elders are always going to respect their elders unless they destroy the economy and leave us with a ton of student law anyway that is our show for today remember in the summer of computers the world we are not told real loved enough so i tell you all i love you i am i roll the door and on top of the law people are watching those logs and i regret everybody.

but you go shoot you give you a little you know medicine others but where you and one million people died and. he killed people even date you. know no one's going to worry too much if you bodies around in that and that's. all. right.

i am an horndog. but also. to the relationship between kids it was suggested no proof and a fairly strong one there were two thousand brad some 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 use damage in the last test is it

a shared skepticism they do not believe that risk is is true by independent scientists so did the needs industry period you for this i received some compensation for my time as well as the others why is that i me to hobby definitely do like what we've been doing and if you want to learn more you'll get a definite on super fluffy you only you're not back to. is it big business against health. as you're starting to show us. all. in safety.

this destructive cycle of intervention to. come to an end we will also expand authority for american armed forces don't trump does let's hope the u. turn on his campaign pledge to quits afghanistan now vowing to expunge the military operation with no deadline for withdrawal. the president also makes another attempt to hail the u.s. political divide to make claims both sides are now trying to exploit for political gain. the u.n. warns of a man.
