for customers one point four million more than previous service to move and that they enrolled more than half a million accounts and both pay service without customers permission and we know but for an online bill pay services are or can be when they get screwed up so what can we publish do about these kind of abuses well our value in the elected officials stand up to the banks. yeah let's wind out as we start watching the horrors. of the. real thing. as a lot of. like you know i got. so. welcome everyone to watch you go so i wrote the world and i'm happy

the way. banks are doing the shady your thoughts. i mean or again i am surprised that it's taking this long for anybody to know that's the thing that concerns me the most as someone who's personally i mean my first concern is for consumers i've been one of those people that's been through big banks adding fees and doing things before any of this came out and i would always be treated as if i was crazy person as if i was this criminal i'd be like where's my money and why am i being charges and i never said this and always this you're trying to scam the bank kind of attitude and now seeing that that wasn't true most of us were right all along we were getting scammed but i would you know i worry about what that's going to do eventually because these are stockholders are going to be wondering what kind of ponzi scheme is this entire banking system set up on which it kind of it really is when you really. i mean not just wells fargo

but the entire interview again there's various reasons and one giant ponzi scheme as we've covered on this show numerous times i mean when you look at wells fargo i mean the list is incredible you know from oh you only do about you know about one point four million of these fraud accounts were basically were kind of like taking people's existing accounts putting a little money into a fake account under that person's name keeping it open to build a certain kind of like sales quota and then like giving the money back i'd assume that the other come before no one notices that particularly two accounts that jumped three point five million after they told congress that this was just you know i just related how people do it. then you go through both recharging and that turns in concealing this misconduct from the u.s. department of veterans affairs to obtain get this obtain guarantees for the loans under a federal mortgage refinancing program this is according to their recent settlement so overcharging veterans for overcharging veterans and then on top of it in order

to trick the government giving them more money to give better still you remember that magical day when they spoke about making money for banks. as member they were just about storing your money and keeping it safe was that with the knights templar when i rode around with bags of gold maybe. i don't remember a time i really don't remember a time when banks except for a small community banks that are sort of nonprofit if that isn't you know savings and loan it small small communities that are family oh no i don't know what that banks that are just sent to make my i mean look they've been going after small businesses as all your. small businesses well apparently wells fargo allegedly went after small businesses overcharging them for credit card processing in the overbilling scheme that targeted less sophisticated mom and pop shops who couldn't keep up with the auto insurance i mentioned that charged more than eight hundred thousand people for auto insurance they did not need to which then led. to two

hundred seventy four thousand customers becoming delinquent on the ramones resulting in twenty five thousand vehicle repossessions this is a. that should have never happened so people lost their cars probably jobs probably a lot of other things all because they didn't want to bother to buy if there's anything the congress should be doing something about this just because the obama administration sort of punted on actually doing something about the bank. and i don't just blame the obama administration but. a woman with a mandate to fix this problem and pretty much we all just said we'll just keep doing what we're doing which is a really great thing that's been working this is why one of the things that we need to have a new a new hearing yes we do get a lot of consumer advocacy to consumer advocacy protection organizations the americans for financial reform and public citizen that's what all of thirty three organizations have joined together in this call to have congressional hearings and joint letter to the leadership of the senate banking committee and the house

finance services committee so amanda warner arbitration campaign manager for americans for financial reform a public citizen said for quote the first step is to have congressional hearings to determine the extent of the cover up the american public wants wells fargo to be held accountable and i have to say i would much rather they spend a million two million three million dollars of taxpayer funds to investigate this and then practices like this that are really messing with every day working americans rather than have the recent e-mails or who had dinner with some russians . i mean i don't care whether you know the benghazi or the russians but this sort of stuff is number one is that if i were able to noble i applaud you for wanting to see hearings and potential congressional calling domes of reforms because you know the slapping on the wrist with fines they go and do it no more i mean something like twenty two billion dollars in the first quarter of twenty seventeen the amount of fines the. well for all those maybe gets to about four

hundred million which is nothing i don't care you know so i did spend an eighteen month span i want to get this before we move eighteen months. six point four million lobbying in just eighteen months alone. who. at a world where a college degree is practically a prerequisite for a normal adult life one could think of many good uses for a federal department of education making sure colleges are ripping off students for example or that students are unfairly discriminated against or even helping students make smart choices about what exactly they're signing up for when they take out student loans all these and more are supposedly the mission of the education secretary betsy to vos a billionaire political donor with zero real world experience in education and in pursuit of that mission team hasn't just announced it will stop sharing information with the consumer financial protection bureau the government's consumer watchdog agency i will certainly there must be a reason for tearing up such an important partnership you ask well there was

apparently this c p p b had been overly zealous in actually going after fraudulent colleges and student loan collectors in other words just another day in washington . truly again not shocked like you were not shocked with you know banks doing shady business i mean i'm not really shocked with you know the department of education suddenly saying you know what we don't want you going after our shady student loan you know our contractors that are about is that are all these people that are were grafting to everybody with education money it's really about is in the i mean look first you go up drop money now you go after like our kids money in the moment they get out of school years and then it's just it's just it's graft i'm sorry every time i hear about the go when we need more private schools maybe but at the end of the day you know just what parents keep forking out more and more money right and then they won't be able to. taxpayers will be paying for it because then people if

they can't afford it out of their own they're going to want some sort of kick back some for sort of. money from the government since they're not providing it this is the thing everybody wants to get rid of these people who want to get rid of public education but their answer isn't that we just don't pay for it make everybody pay for it themselves if they want a handout from the government so they can get the education they want you know my parents did my mother worked two jobs so i could go to a private school go go maybe support yourself off from the bootstraps and stop ask the other the other thing too is that sort of or just to be clear we could just have properly running public schools that actually serve the community and their kids would be there i do i just i don't i went to public school one of my whole family would have my life in public schools are great if they're if the department of education actually allows them to do was to. put money were should be instead of trying to hide the fact that there's graft in one part of the system by just kind of throwing out the consumer protection bureau which is

a lot of the graph of these student loans that they're talking about the reaction from a lot of education advocates and watched has been pretty unanimous and this is horrible in the words of national consumer law center's persis you said quote divorce is prioritizing the interests of predatory for profit schools debt collectors and troubled student loans services or the interest of student loan borrowers now the reason that the c f p b was put in place in the beginning was because officials at places like the department of education and financial watchers were doing their jobs they're all too cozy with lobbyists they all have their finger in the cookie jar and now she doesn't want to chime entire education department into a cookie jar and she decides who gets cookie do it's always about what we need smaller government and less oversight because we privatized everything the nothing bad will happen. but. we might want to ask the people in russia our viewers in russia just let us know how private. as i read it it's all very private

is the case then where you know it is also interesting isn't it if you worry about this kind of lack of qualification to be. running the department of education or have no fear she's going to hire the best people because you have some real world experience to boston's hired julian schmoke to head up the unit was cracking down on those fraudulent practices by colleges he seems familiar he has smokes experience is nothing if not real world he used to be a dean for the for profit university college recently charged one hundred million dollars in fines for ripping off that student so smoke now heads up the unit responsible for investigating institutions like his former employer for schemes and practices that may or may not have been likely involve himself ironically some of the charges against the bright. exactly parallel charges that were behind it gives

a member of the wonderful university thinking we're about yeah yeah the room deceptive advertising you know made ridiculous promises to protect it was all to take on the now this is the guy so money from the u.s. government they stole dreams from people they stole teachers and people and now we're supposedly i mean maybe maybe i'm maybe we're all crazy maybe this is all one of those like hire a burglar to put your security system in your house knows how they're going to know how the tricks work that's the idea i don't trust about the guy on here but maybe maybe. i'll think of that as we go to break up to let us know what you think about this discover that they are good for your poll shows that are dot com and we are excited to announce that you can join us and watching the harks and all and watch all the whole of your favorite r t america shows on direct t.v. channel three two. coming up top of the walls wars out the truth and just how much. yes plastic is in our drinking water and something queasy this way comes with

our teens. brings us some startling new news on a new danger for tommy. states to watch. the knot winds up. on the flames often i don't want my next nights out the definitions and i'm back. when seeking i mean south. taking the equal sitting. down and then you're going to bring. how we think i'm. young would be when i think. it is you know will not be yeah i sat. in this just feeling if one mean. just that you know he did but it does he feel

this numb tokyo found it he was going to happen going. to like. his work was because did a piece of dancing coral cultural freezing. the united nations on the security council but ticklish should be it should not be a place for. the spotlight to. their athletic skills they should be a place you should be a place. which is a we should think we should perform its main responsibility to maintain security.

thank you for new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington or washington controls the media the media over the voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals pledge to bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. the leg. length. leg leg. leg .

you did you know that the united states doesn't have any kind of standard for the safety of plastic in our drinking water no not yet the e.p.a. is contaminate candidate list which catalogs substances that are in tap water but are regulated doesn't even list plastic as being in our tap water or a washington d.c. based nonprofit digital newsroom conducted the world's first global scientific study of micro plastics in drinking water called invisibles the plastics inside us and what's inside of us is quite frankly horrifying by collaborating with the state university of new york and the university of minnesota or tested one hundred fifty nine drinking water samples from sources on five continents and found that eighty three percent of the samples contained microscopic plastic fibers which isn't hard to imagine when you realize that since the human discovery of plastic polymer is

around six billion tons of plastic has been created and dumped in cedar shining sea to shining sea and back again so what are these microscopic plastic fibers and where are they coming from well there are six major areas that plastic fibers end up in our tap water first our clothing synthetic fibers fabrics like fleece especially acrylic some polyesters expel microscopic plastic fibers every time we wash them and as that water drains it discharges one million tons of those fibers into our waste water each year second tired i know this seems weird but specifically a substance called rubber or styrene beauty which is the synthetic rubber used in tires and things like artificial grass so as tires run on the road they expel twenty grams of toxic tire dust for every one hundred kilometers or sixty two miles they travel terrifying. third is paid from the road lie in the two houses paid contributes to

a full ten percent of micro plastic pollution in the world's oceans the fourth area is what's called secondary micro plastics and these are things like plastic forks bags in the very success stories for your convenient takeout order these are things that get shredded up and sent to landfills and a full eight million tons of these often mishandled plastics washed into our oceans rivers and lakes around the world every year. probably the most disturbing are synthetic fibers in the air sea those cosy fleece and polyester clothing fibers that you're wearing also break off when we wear them much like pets shedding for expels them into the air like dust. and then they end up in our food and the beverage is sitting in from e.o. it's estimated that the friction of our bodies causes between three and ten tons of those airborne fibers in just the city of paris each year finally

microbial it's now banned in the u.s. and canada these little beads became extremely popular in face grubs and cosmetics over the years and are estimated that eight trillion polluted u.s. waterways in twenty fifteen alone these six areas have contributed to the orb study sample showing that eighty three percent of tap water in five continent concedes microscopic plastic fibers now let's of it by country by country it breaks down like this in first place because the weeds of the love ruin of the thirty three samples taken across the u.s. a little over ninety four per cent of those came back contaminated with micro plastic fibers lebannon they route ninety four percent as well new delhi india eighty two percent of samples had plastic biker fibers and then kampala uganda eighty one to garbage in tunisia seventy six percent and quito ecuador showed

seventy five percent finally when you go to european countries about seventy two percent of european sample showed the plastic so here's the thing plastic is redefined our culture how it will be analyzed by archaeologist centuries or even a lineage from now see most plastic has a five hundred year life span before it will even start to biodegrade in the whole of the united states there are only a few recycling centers that can safely recycle all types of plastic it's said that besides the nuclear bomb detonations in one nine hundred forty five plastics cause the most significant changes to the earth's makeup in all of human history but if the pleasant planet doesn't make you sweat what it does to the human body may see a recent study published in environmental science and technology found that the most common types of consumer plastics act like sponges and they absorb the most chemical. so the plastic fibers from your fleece jacket end up in the waste water which absorbs all of the worst chemicals along its way to waterways which is that

by the thing is switch you then eat these chemicals have been proven to cause infertility infertility obesity cellular damage and birth defects in women they can cause breast cancer in men infertility prostate cancer low testosterone decreased penis and testicular sides. greg trina's founder and executive director of the nonprofit adventure scientists told the n.p.r. if you're eating fish or eating plastic there's no proven causal relationship with health issues but i don't want to spend the next fifty years eating get and the learn i should have been i shouldn't have that we asked people here in d.c. their reaction to the studies finding here is what they had to say. it wouldn't be surprised to be honest with you it is one of the only countries on earth that recycling water really wants. to do that. job. because. seriously people on the streets are

a little split when you hear there's this major you know i mean when you hear this it's pretty outstanding you know you just kind of taken aback like really that much because in all our water it's incredible i mean between two thousand and four and twenty fourteen the amount of plastic produced by the world rose thirty eight percent. and it's frightening how much it's kind of involved with all our lives so the next time you're talking to somebody and it's like man this person is like a really fake person they just feel really plastic real you might not they might you you're probably right now we are way beyond class i mean look more than a quarter of a fish fish now contain plastic according to a recent study which analyzed like the fish the guts of fish that were sold in markets and the beach in california whoa you know people have heard that you were talk about these little fibrous and they're very tiny and you think oh where they're little that's no big deal it's just this little shaving that's like a millimeter long and it's microscopic but when you put a lot of those things in your lungs it can cause breathing problems people who work

in factories where they make these things where they make this kind of a stick have to wear a lot of safety gear but if that's out in there i mean what do you do. with they're saying is that when we're talking a little bit about the fleece kind of how fleece is i love place that give iran but it's actually kind of terrifying as they found that the when you wash it jack. jacket it sheds up to two grams of these little micro fibers from a fleece jacket when you do it so for reference a paper clip is about one point five grams so if these are microscopic and you're pulling off two full grams the amount like the weight of a paper clip that's a lot and they also found that it was seven times more fibers were washed in top loading washers than in front so here's a few thing because i don't want everybody to go away like we're all going to die in that belief from predator. by god i'm all like we're going to die from plastic and i run away there are there few things that we can do one as washing fleece not

don't wash or fleece as much good. and part of that is you know it's a not a natural fiber anyway so it's actually made to handle that stuff you don't wash least as much utilized microfiber cutting laundry balls there are these things that can go in and do other stuff really good for you alternatives to labor these are alternatives to liquid or powder laundry detergent and plastic goes with just a metal or glass of water bottles containers don't straws just avoid using plastic and when you do use them make sure you're just posing up them properly good lesson good medicine and i'm sure everything you know what i mean is it was sort of as though it's not it's not just plastic that's been sneaking into our bodies scientists have known about strong g. lloyd. yes that's the thing for a while but only as a minor health hazard predominantly in tropical climates. that all may be changing however and in a very disturbing direction as these go pull the little worms reach the worms may

have been previously underestimated estimates put the global action rate at over three hundred. million people making it a wider reaching problem area along the worms potentially devastating damage to birds across the world are trying to raise awareness of the parasite in hopes of finding a universal code. or i hope they do or two. more story it's a thread worm known as a strong stare corral is the odd name a toad infects humans through larvae infested soil all it takes is one touch and the worm can penetrate through human skin from there the war makes way into mucus tunnels the blood stream and the small intestine where burrows and lays its eggs the eggs then hatch inside the intestines and after being excluded the worms can reinfect their hosts many people are unaware that they have even been infected because there are often no symptoms however those who do experience symptoms have

things like cramping diarrhea weight loss and rashes and in the most extreme cases the worm can spread throughout the entire body causing hyper infection and death due to changes in the host's immune system the centers for disease control and prevention say soil and auto infection are not the only means of transmission in fact human to human transmission has been reported in organ transplants at institutions for the developmentally disabled and even in day care facilities according to the c.d.c. . has classically been associated with uniformed service veterans returning from tropical regions like southeast asia and the south pacific during world war two small domestic studies have shown infection in rural appalachian but the highest rates in the united states come from immigrant populations this is mainly because of the warm lives in warm moist climates or in rural and agricultural areas and it

mainly affects those who are institutionalized or economically disadvantaged researchers suggest that up to sixty percent of indigenous australians carry this infection the worm is incredibly hard to detect but anti parasitic drugs can get rid of the parasites when they are detected however many have now become. drug resistant and therefore they can remain with a host for life researchers say the only way to abolish these parasites is to make sure that people even know that they exist awareness they say will lead to more research and better treatment for what they say is the most neglected tropical disease on the planet in los angeles proceed to santos r t. records like glass ceilings were made to be broken in astronaut peggy whitson is shattering records and raising the roof in two thousand and seven the nasa astronaut american bio chemistry researcher became the first woman ever to command the international space station earlier this year she broke the record for the must face walks by

a woman in the last trip she spent two hundred eighty days in space which also broke the single flight duration record for women in space peggy whitson who at fifty seven years old is the oldest woman to travel in space and the oldest to complete a spacewalk has now spent more time in space than any other astronaut in the history of space travel with a record breaking total of six hundred sixty five cumulative days in space over the course of her career oh and see i mentioned that in two thousand and nine she was the first woman to serve as chief astronaut of the nassau fish she was so the next time someone tells you that women cancer tell them about peggy whitson who can apparently to anything just like you. remember everyone in this world we're not told to tell you all i love you i am tired rover and i'm watching those hawks remember a great night everybody. let

me know but maybe. i would. maybe not use any. of them i tried to make one last debate yeah that all they miss but also i still love a lot of the. kids. body of his body people will point the love up on this the idea of the sort of feel pokey want to be with you but being the police will. be here. but it's easy to see and if we. see seymour going all the press one of. us your repeated in the bud is a bit about me. sad much kid it. was a means to do so little the same issue in

a bun yes. this honesty so they. must go with. mark zuckerberg at first but no no arguing about artificial intelligence is going to destroy the world on lost says maybe we'll mark zuckerberg has already destroyed the world so why does he care let's find out. you've seen years ago i traveled across the united states exploring america's deadly love affair with the gun if a bad guy tried to get to one of my family members he would have better life better and i think they are inheriting whenever my my baby's says my book was published in

the year two thousand more than the whole for a million americans have been killed by followings in the us how does thought to me as i did this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves some real scenarios it was interesting to see. the subject to track down. those years you've got i don't know this but we are not.
