a nuclear north korea is a sceptical susceptible north korea to being invaded as all the countries that i mentioned have been the way to solve the crisis has to come from internally in the united states we need strong anti-war movement in it in fact there was only one korea one korean people one korean territory one korean language until the genocide a war that the u.s. weighed from one thousand nine hundred fifty to one nine hundred fifty three when the us divided north korea and bombs. in the rest of the cities of korea to smithereens so it's always been the korean people who have suffered the most because of this. these threats and would the korean people want the most of the people of the world one is peace. situating into his this evening here on all three international quick reminder as well if you like good news on social media you can check it out on facebook and also on twitter.
2:30 pm
china steals a lot of all america's intellectual property and that but the way to fight it is not to be a wall building kind you know troll living under a bridge and helping 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 right. with this money factor to send to the public well. when the ruling closest protect them so. when the flaming. lips. we can all middle of the
2:31 pm
room sick. greetings and salutations there is a dark shadow creeping its way across the land here in the united states and no i'm not talking about magnificent celestial event we saw earlier this week i'm talking
2:32 pm
about the four hundred military installations crisscrossing the united states some active some long closed whose use of toxic chemicals over the years have contaminated or are suspected of contaminating the grounds and drinking water of the communities that surround them in fact almost forty eight almost forty percent of those military bases the pollution is so severe that the environmental protection agency has declared them superfund sites but but. i thought we cared about our soldiers and the communities that support them i really did i mean after all the pentagon paid top dollar to the national football league to show us how much we care with all those amazing halftime soldier in the crowd gimmicks and national anthem jet planes stadium flyovers according to the troubled water investigation from news twenty one the contaminating ages range from toxic paints to explosives to cleaning solvents to fire biting bone lovely but what about
2:33 pm
the clean up us clean up happening well a research study from the berkeley a school of laws found that even though the d.o.b. is made significant strides in identifying investigating the level of can 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 and 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 gift that just keeps on giving and i want to start watching all.
2:34 pm
the. real thing. as a lot of. 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 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 that's in afghanistan or in iraq in this clean up is not a high priority for the who are the united states military which is not when their own people notice that when the you know when the burn pits when their own soldiers
2:35 pm
are being affected by a much even less so when it's the communities 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 working on the base are never aware of the thing and 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 what happened in the fifty's when they were dumping stuff before they knew what was toxic wall out of this 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 without saying anything about right well it's the things. we know that the things that can keep us safe from one danger are sometimes hold their own and that's one of the situations here were the one of the biggest dangers that there knowing that they're noticing are with these per floor it out goals their substance as 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
2:36 pm
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 perth. like 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 that it doesn't magically just go away yeah ok so down in the fifty's but it was only going to get worse. to. the you know what really hurts a lot of these people is what's coming out about when the military actually right was dangerous and i want any work to remove yes i mean it was in one thousand nine
2:37 pm
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 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 affected but it wasn't until august of two thousand and sixteen twenty sixteen 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 caused behavior problems in their offspring mates kept spraying around and then finally in twenty six a man went all right well for life by far and away we decided he had said 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 have a lot to the military might be a step behind cutting edge on techno mind and safety does go beyond that there's
2:38 pm
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 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 to do when it's dangerous why am i going to trust you now if you're not going to clean up the mess 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 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 tri chlor at the lean lovely stuff just asides and radioactive waste had
2:39 pm
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 drank gallons of gallons of water and it tasted a little metallic the chemical you you know this is get used to it oh it was in the middle you know it's hot you know it's maybe just a metallic smell from something and you know that was. it's 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 the wars or cleaning it up with it because that reasonable amount of time are they really going to do that. you know military bases we have a real 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
2:40 pm
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 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 to the site saying a company policy but his own discretion saying quote the tipping point for us making this decision was that the team behind daily star 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
2:41 pm
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 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 the muslims is very totally clear why. and i don't disagree with any private company even publicly funded company and any company deciding they do not want to host any kind of contact right i don't have an issue with that at all it's their choice if i own a company and i found out the 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
2:42 pm
a part of the c.e.o. or whoever would probably use my discretion on that only i would silence from the 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 but i think. you know it's always that question of you know. 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 way it was 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 like 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
2:43 pm
day and say oh my the bad i might not believe the same values the nazis are or these type white nationalists have 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 you don't say something if you don't step if you don't do something when 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 sad. there was 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
2:44 pm
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 believe they were wrong do as a private as you can sue them we know if you feel that way it's 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 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 glover station but is it splitting hairs because now the a.c.l.u.
2:45 pm
says they won't protect anybody they won't you know do that if the people marching or demonstrating bring guns so it's a splitting hairs sensitive to constitutionally protected rights is this just splitting hairs i want to give you back to like i think it gives back to what we mean you've talked about it looks like with the blood of 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 do 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 what's your opinion right you're armed you know or whether it's a club or a gun you're armed you're writing it all doesn't. if money isn't free speech neither is a club neither is a club or a gun you know use our voice use your side and put it there about what 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 to dot com am starting this monday august twenty eighth
2:46 pm
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 all right coming up in the second half of our show we talk we talk about reigning in wall street with matt taibbi and our two used for the show. that we could look out for you'll never look at your forecast they were it was a report stay tuned to watch. everyone
2:47 pm
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 the housing bubble certainly did colossal damage what many forget is that the artificially fixed rate and their pens three hundred fifty trillion loans into. evidence 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 join tyrrel in china recently to discuss what options remain to fix this flawed system this is in today's day and age breaking is
2:48 pm
global you can't get around that this affects everyone on earth whatever to do something is heinously right right so which it begs the question at the end of the day i mean a system like lie born 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 they become too big to fail they've been seen in 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 actually think that would 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. well i think i mean live war is a great example of why it's scary when. essential power
2:49 pm
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 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 a lot worse in minutes than it are in their bank and say hey can you do me a theater and push 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 what 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 afraid to them because because there's just so much concentration of power in we see that one day when they replicate each
2:50 pm
other's behaviors when they came to market together that's when things get really dangerous and that and that's what yet it's it's probably more desirable to have smaller banks and have just a relative these 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 it. was twenty seventeen two thousand and seven is where we saw the kind of the early shades of the 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
2:51 pm
and they're going to have to eventually more power but that was one of the major causes of the bailout. was that the bill i was essentially caused a series of artificial mergers which made it which made the two biggest banks even more too big to fail e a so it's a problem that we were 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 behavior that we saw in mortgages before 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 so you 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
2:52 pm
one thing that everybody knows is that there probably isn't sufficient reserve in all of this and all the. the. federal reserve and the national banks to build her body 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 but everybody knows that it's not it's not complicated the major problem is to is to break up the too big to fill cracks and you know you know senators like sherrod brown jeff merkley introduced legislation over the years they
2:53 pm
slowly picked up. you know code co-sponsors is that particular in the senate you know the house as it's not a whole lot of movement on this. and everybody is 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 itself wouldn't be that hard to implement but the political problem of getting everybody across the group 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 and assist them and everybody just kind of you can are strangers 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 enlightening us today always a pleasure excellent show tyro you care. nowhere do scientific advances
2:54 pm
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 often dying while waiting on the transplant list and that solution may come from genetically modified pigs. for more on that story we turned our tradition of atoms. 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 could possibly be used for human organ transplants. now there are. so there are big that have no aptitude. and so these can be thought of as.
2:55 pm
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 perves that are potentially harmful to the pigs organs scientists then clone those that are that sells them put them in an egg and the 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 to in order not to go back and so the idea is that if you use another. and we engineer your organs compatible you can transplant then we can
2:56 pm
breed. and 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 turn of each other as r.t. . wow you know to we're going to put the question to because i love these science britain these walls and birds but the real question is with robotics we're in the early with you know g.m.o. . what do you prefer organic. organs inside you if you need to replace one or robotic cyborg i'm going to go and i am honestly going to go with robot i'd rather have an ai.
2:57 pm
i don't 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 that's one go 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 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. grew out of the forest i would been very used to it. seems like there's always something to celebrate well at least
2:58 pm
online 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 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 love and respect on this national senior citizens day always go to respect their elders always gotta respect
2:59 pm
their elders unless they destroy the economy and leave us with a total student anyway. remember in the summer of the world we are not real love them up so i tell you all i love you i am i rolled and on top of the wall of people watching. and like everybody. here's what people have been saying about rejecting. the only show i go out of my way to. really pack them. all over a party americans do the same we are apparently better than. to see a herd of. jack tonight president of the world bank so.
3:00 pm
send us an e-mail. the un voices deep concern over reports that dozens of civilians have been killed in the u.s. led bombing raids in the syrian city of rock some reports say seventy eight civilians have been killed by coalition strikes in just the last twenty four hours . get out of afghanistan we will also expand our for american armed force which. does a complete u. turn on his repeated pledge to quit afghanistan now he's vowing to expand the military operation with no plans yet for withdrawal. four suspects in last week's barcelona terrorist attack.
