greetings and salutation. while everyone focuses on the pomp and circumstance and donald trump at this year's united nations general assembly there was there was one story that tragically while not seeing much airtime on most of your cable news channels a story that at the very least directly affects roughly forty million people across every continent of the small blue planet it affects women and children at an obscenely disproportionate rate. than men and it reaches across all racial and cultural lines what is this vastly important story the definitely definitely will

never get the same amount of air time as sean spicer i mean appearance or the alleged trump russia collusion election election meddling celebrity gossip well it's just the you know the new global slavery figures and statistics released this week by the united nations international labor organization and the walk free foundation you know those which found that there is an estimated forty point three million people are victims of modern slavery in two thousand and sixteen now see modern slavery is used as a sort of umbrella term that according to researchers refers to situations of exploitation that a person cannot refuse or leave because of threats of violence code words and deception and or abuse of power. there's obviously includes forced labor forced marriage and. in a press release adam forrest chairman and founder of the walk free from days and stated if we consider the results of the last five years for which we have

collected data eighty nine million people experience some form of modern slavery for periods of time ranging from a few days to by years. this i don't know bugs you but this to me is unacceptable and is one of the primary reasons why we need to be watching the hawks. to. get the. real thing. as you put it out of. like you know what i got. this. week so. well so what are you watching the harks i wrote her and i'm top of the hour so yeah i mean the numbers are so astronomically

different between men and women not say it doesn't happen well it's going to say that slavery affects the world of course but it does disproportionately affect right when and that's one of the things that we've always talked about over the years this is idea that when you know when we say hey we're going to go bomb some plays we're going to do that women are almost always more more disproportionately affected than men especially in lower income areas or developing nations in this report what it showed was that the disproportion is pretty bad so you have almost twenty nine million. or or seventy one percent of the overall total so what you're saying is you have this thing of all women accounted for ninety nine point four percent of. first sexual oil exploitation compare that to males who only sell point zero six percent and eighty four point two per side if you see that the graphic forced marriages are forced upon

a women as compared to just fifteen point eight percent of men so you've got forced labor you've got sexual exploitation this is women being sold into sex slavery this is the kind of things we talk about we talk about human trafficking you know women who are prado over and are living here in the united states and abroad and everywhere against their will and having to purport to sex work with no consent and no my not getting paid and. very very very sad and i mean you know point four percent you heard of just you know point zero six percent as they are but i will say this obviously all of this makes me very angry and i do what i see abuse reports because i mean this is twenty seven we should be the slave trade we should be human trafficking it has to stop it if anything we can do is the human race was put into that and the exploitation of each other especially for greed money and power. one of the i mean if seeing the numbers of women doesn't get under your skin

the way do you see the numbers of children this is yours room under eighteen children being used one in four victims one in four victims of modern slavery are children or about ten million altogether some thirty seven percent are five point seven million of those are forced to marry that you're talking on earlier are children children forced to marry while we're not having that happen to you know it's most of most of the forest marriages that you're saying around the world are girls that are you know alive and having years old and between twelve i mean thirteen becomes like an old age to be marrying off live you look at child labor one hundred fifty two million children in this world according to this report sixty four million girls eighty million boys. spoilers a little more are subject to child labor and account for almost one in ten children in the entire world ten percent one out of ten almost how do you think you carry on

itto their labor do that's how you get twenty eight zero or get out tennis shoes and athletic shoes and she doesn't them were just children in forced labor i mean the numbers are pretty staggering all around when you get into you know forced labor of adults and slavery which are a lot of what you see for men is a lot of this forced labor we talked about a little bit when there was a trend. in southeast asia and the u.s. idea of slavery bringing you your chocolate and your cat food so one of the things as there was twenty five million people there saying in two thousand and sixteen we're we're we're in forced labor at any one time not just over the course of year at any one time there were twenty five million people out of them sixteen million were in forced labor exploitation in the private sector so that domestic work you see that a lot where you have maids that are kept and they keep their passports you've seen it in places like dubai and in china and places and here in the united states over and over construction and agriculture so it's part of that thing of migrant work

that we all are you know been talking a lot about there's entire sections like you know where the were these people are living in essentially slave labor conditions they're having to pay off to the people they're working for to pay for their housing and ultimately they're not getting paid for the work they're doing that they have to. do that because of this spans the globe of the americas everybody goes on down the list and one thing that was interesting about the forced labor was i remember it was that is that the difference between private companies doing it and governor government which you think when you look around the world there might be a lot of governments using prison labor here assumption i think resumption will be your government or you know the dick. taters put all of his people to forced labor to write. more forced labor is definitely committed in the private sector than in the government sector and state authorities accounted for just over like just

a tiny bit over four million people are just sixteen percent blows my mind there really does which it was larger over the years it has been larger it's really incredible you know to finish up with i think the i think that we all need to take stock of these numbers and say do we really want to live in a world where we're seeing you know children women you know. children forced into forced labor or sexploitation or all of that we want to live in the world and shouldn't we be pressuring pressuring our leaders to and that i truly hope so i really do i really do that this doesn't sit well with you at all. in the aftermath of hurricane arm our residents of florida were fortunately spared the level of flooding seen recently in houston as well as the complete devastation armor wrecked on multiple islands in the caribbean but the hurricane nevertheless did strike hard at the state's power grid at the peak of the outage leaving over four million homes or close to over ten million people without electricity but fortunately for florida

the state's generally sunny climate makes it a natural market for solar energy and many homeowners have been gradually installing solar panels on their own but as recent headlines reveal all that investment into going green may prove worthless for homeowners hoping to rely on their own power in the aftermath of see it seems that florida state laws make it illegal to rely on your own solar panels in the event of an outage and that's because the laws were largely written by florida's power industry so hawk watchers as we were cover from this year's brutal hurricane season let's not forget that almost as much of this devastation could be blamed on humans as they can be on mother nature this this one another one gets over by scams obviously not as much as children forced labor. but still though this strikes to the heart. but i think you know people talk about like libertarian principles and things like that and you care if you thought i'm going to generate taking care of yourself being self-sufficient i mean it's ridiculous to me that someone who goes out spends their

hard earned money says i want to live off the grid i want to in my neighborhood whether suburbia or well in the country or downtown i want to put solar panels up so that way i can get my energy from the sun lower light bill less you know less pressure on the pressure on the grid. make sense of know who florida says it makes it extremely difficult to even just install your solar panels even if you do the power companies can remotely shut them off during an outage that leaves rates no sense to me what that reason is the official reasoning is that they believe that if there's a power outage and they got their people out working on the lines though then if you suddenly like blip on your solar energy that's going to put you know energy because they automatically you have to be attached to them you can't just have power and not be hooked up to the grid you have to be hooked up the grid so the reasoning is that if you turn on the solar energy then suddenly that energy is going to go get shuffled back into the grid potentially electrocute there are

people who are trying to put the power this is their excuse me in the meantime i mean just let me just clarify for any of the florida energy people that's not how it works just letting you know there's the cleaners or probably know that but that's not how it works that there is you will not and there is this is which. on your house outside that can easily turn you on and off from the grid right they will let homeowners have access to that switch so in the event let's say you do have enough solar panels and whatnot to power your own house you say all right i don't as weird as it is want to electrocute anyone working on the lines down when so i can turn over all of the grid and have all the power share with my neighbors hang out they can come over store food in the refrigerator do all that stuff but room. for a bed people have access to our that they're creating this is an ongoing problem this idea that they and i'm sorry this whole like well if you're going to i mean

look literally it's not how it works if that's how your system works you have a bigger problem than solar panels which are job creators which our economy booster is one world would they be so against this little word. well it turns out they did sort of these florida for. power company surprise surprise had it is very long history. of fighting solar power which to me again makes zero sense to me why you would sit and worry about solar power being this problem the technical region you actually can't. disconnect from the grid and rely on your panels during a storm is because of lobbyist what they did everybody at home is these lobbyists succeeded in acting legislation that required all florida be connected to the grid as tyro it said or they will face five and eviction from here on out of your home they will kick you out of your home so the fact that a bunch of top energy companies haven't contributed oer twelve million dollars to

florida state lawmakers resistance twenty ten. or the contacts in ordinary state lawmakers campaign totals around about one hundred thousand dollars . so it's a campaign around about one hundred thousand dollars these guys and they somehow got six million dollars from the that's their ads grab have. no sense because at a time when our infrastructure is struggling when it needs to be rebuilt especially our power grid and the things need to be done and we know you have more and more people you have more electronics or more need for power why would you not encourage u.s. citizens to be self-sufficient and in a manner in a moment of especially like this that they could have power like you said for people to come over and if you have the solar and say hey come over if you need to charge your phone if you need it a warm place if you need it whatever but why would you keep people from being able

to help themselves and now there because this is the u.s. government work they don't do things that are logical to top it all off i mean this is. the cherry on top of all this is the floor of power one of those holes you can exclude yes they're getting sued attorneys are currently presenting a class action lawsuit alleging the power company has made over three hundred million dollars in recent years and storage charges to improve its grids resiliency with zero results already are jewels there is work being done reminds me of this company what was it back in california was a company called enron comes to mind i mean this is one of those things. that's a lot that's a lot of shady shady people for the sun times they go with the solar panels don't let them tell you the solar and wind do it all right as we go to brian todd rogers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered of facebook and twitter see our poll shows at r t v dot com coming up the founder of the global disaster immediate response team adam are with brings us an exclusive report from

the caribbean in the wake of hurricane the rio so you better keep watching. all the world's a stage and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties are into the american plate artsy america offers more. in many ways the news landscape is just like the theater and in the you could never how we draw. so much part of the play all the world's a stage all the world's a stage all the world and we are definitely a play. called the future we don't know. every the world series.

and you'll get it on the old the old. the old according to jeff. world. in the last three weeks the people living in the caribbean and along the gulf of mexico have seen an unprecedented line up of three powerful hurricanes leaving a trail of devastations in their wake and while most everyone outside the disaster zone stands back and points and shock and sympathy there are select dedicated field that rushed into the devastation head on in order to provide rescue relief and recovery for all those living in the path of the disaster whether it be human made or natural adam arlette the founder and president of global disaster and media response team or global tour is one of those brave souls and he joined us earlier

from st johns in the u.s. virgin islands to give us an exclusive update and window into the storm after the storm. founded founder of global thank you for coming on i want to start right now by asking you but i guess we're riding out hurricane maria i believe in st john of the virgin islands you know what what has the impact of the storm been like there are so far. so far this morning majority of the effort was put into getting the main roads back open several washouts to rockslides that cut off one half of the island the other so for the past six hours we've been working with the some of the equipment operators here on the island to continue to work through all of that so what exactly is global terror to roll down there but in the in the rake the great relief efforts right now down in st john. so for the last

ten days we've been on the ground primarily the first pictures coming in for you communications so we've brought some sound like communication and equipment to begin the corniche effort so we arrived immediately. with the national park service to get them up and running when the incident command post was going now i'm talking out of now is the only clinic on the island that we also after indications of. beyond that we are cordoning search and rescue efforts with their local search and rescue teams rescue here to basically go house to house and ensure that everybody is safe. because there are so the limited communications as far as there's no power station knows so connectivity there's no internet people weren't able to communicate out to their relatives that they're safe so a prime or a primarily we've been going through doing health and wellness checks for them. what what are the most pressing. needs for the people in the caribbean right now i

mean that you know one storm after another. you know who've been caught in the wake of these storms what do you feel is their most pressing needs right now. i think the biggest thing. in the immediate as far as as far as these individual islands goes depopulating being able to get out so that way that which is to be easier for people to go into the debris clearance efforts and start the early recovery process for st john and ram talking now if they were able to get over a thousand people which is over twenty percent of the population off the island already the challenge is that that meant they evacuated to puerto rico and st croix which are both hit more directly by last night's storm so with that all of these different islands have to try to get people out because the less people that are here the less water we have to provide the less food that we have to provide beyond that the next immediate need is getting communications up and getting power but the

anticipate power is going to take several months to get back to these different times while. now anatomy global trade has banned and there are four hurricanes harvey and maria. what has in what you've seen on the ground been the most overlooked or neglected aspect in the preparedness for the of storms that you and other rescue workers have to contend with now what are the things we should be thinking about for the next storm or down the road. but i think the biggest thing comes from the. core utilities of the island as far as resilience of the water and electric structure so the last time they're going to major hurricane like this was twenty years ago but they elected not to put the power lines underground which has caused. massive outages on these different islands so the biggest thing is going to be resilient island in the future so that way they can avoid having

a chance again just so someone can do have an idea of what your day is like you know how what are your days are you you know as a sun up to some of the war you know what is your average day consists of in this in this cleanup and recovery and the whole rehab about for. the certainly. we're working about eighteen hour days right now for the just passed over and. when it went out moment to start to move back we were all along twenty four hours so that least now that this storm's passed we'll be able to go back to our schedule and get out there to continue doing. that making sure everybody's safe after this storm. well let me ask you what's the best thing that those of us that aren't there what's the best way for us to help because we you get a lot of mixed messages you shouldn't donate to certain places or donating money to

certain kinds of charities doesn't always help sending certain things actually causes more trouble for for you guys on the ground so what's the number one thing people here in the states and around the world what can we do to help this effort. one of the. the biggest challenges here is majority these islands operate off of tourism which is going to be basically down for the entire next season so i would say probably the biggest thing specially if those individuals that are watching the show that know business or other things that might be in the hospitality industry or maintenance industry or other things there's going to be a lot of people from jacket that are going to be out of work for the next twelve months so if they have the ability to absorb some of that labor then there's going to be a lot of people that aren't needed and that would further depopulate the island in the short term until the next season's able to start it up after the debris claims have been completed what. what's the next stop for you guys were where we're going to war is global bird how long do you predict you'll be there and you know what's

the what's the what's the future look like. well for us. who are actively looking at dominica right now we have personnel there on st thomas and also personnel that are on puerto rico. and whether or not saying it needs assistance as far as getting their communications up but first a long term recovery effort here i think will be shifting into our kind of more recovery mode similar to what we did after superstorm sandy as far as working to make sure all of the residents here have properly if not applied to get assistance through. that where they can start to recover process themselves and do do you know are you just looking at you know with your experience in these disaster zones are you as a probably go to years ago i know that you worked a lot into haiti after the you know the flooding in the storm hit many years ago there are news of a real look about the same kind of damage in the same kind of length of recovery.

and i think it's going to take months just to get the electric and water back reconnected here it's probably going to take years to get back to the level of where the silent ones before just because it's the logistics are so difficult everything has to be brought in here and there's no. port that we're on there's one helicopter one clinic that was heavily damaged so it's going to six points in time to get that infrastructure back on speaking of infrastructure what's the government situation like there are there is there is there are there is there are government i mean when you when you you know as i mean for everybody kind of outside looking in and you see that kind of devastation you know is there any form of infrastructure whatsoever just as far as order. i will fortunately. is kind of come together there's no mass looting or anything like that there are representatives on the ground and try to move which is the first island's territory of emergency management agency they're working together to try to coordinate here but their offices were completely destroyed so the staff that is here is kind of

focused on getting that emergency operation center back up and running quickly as possible so that way they can help other people. out what one of the things that i think comes up a lot is you know people in these situations you have essentially you know environmental refugees that have to get out of a place and come back. are there organizations are people really working to make sure that those people that those people that are moved can go back to their homes or go back to that situation and again it's one of those things that on our end what can we do to help that situation and. there are there are some individuals that are on these islands as well as community organizations that are focused i'm sure that the communities are able to come back that people not just sell their land off and that it becomes a large resort town or something like that so there are people that are working to make sure that those people that do want to stay or. are continue to be in it to do

that not forced out of their area. i got to say you know thank you so much for coming on and reporting i know you're busy guy down there don't let us keep your he was from the good job that you're doing always a pleasure. and you know do keep doing your best work. all the love and support as with you. certainly thank you very much for the cue for your work. we can see you bro benefits twenty plus year mission and the data she found being processed and studied now it's time to move on to the fifth planet from the sun the gas giant of jupiter as american physicist michio kaku put it without jupiter cleaning out the early solar system the earth would be pockmarked with meteor collisions we would suffer from asteroid impacts every day see and that's where the juno craft comes in launched on august fifth two thousand and eleven and entering jupiter's polar orbit on july sixth twenty sixteen the juno craft is measuring

we say yes to a fellow dream go on as your friends are going over the remember of one of your lives world told we were loved enough so i told you all i love you i'm tired rover and i'm top of the lawless people are watching those hawks and every great day and later. in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington controls the media the media both the voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . larry king i will put my claimed there bill pullman just a little excited above still love. you know inside

a character. exploring things about yourself that you haven't worked out your letting kind of humanity for flow through you through the way you're a vessel for other things i've been born at first got offered the role it was just there they want you to consider playing the president in this movie and i see it is a comedy as i couldn't believe that i was a person to. my son's an actor now larry he's twenty four years old these that been in for movies in a t.v. show and he's doing well but we're in this movie together and kids unbelievable plus being inclusive and in these times i think that's a hard concept but he always said you can always draw the circle the little bit wider you know you have our family but we can always include some one more so all next on larry king.

while the larry king special guest is bill paul monk one of hollywood's finest bill is known for starring in timeless films like spaceballs the accidental tourist casper and of course independence day his nose for all alongside jessica biel in the drama series the cinema airing widens days at ten pm on the usa network that is already a runaway hit as will come to. those out of the blue i got a letter inviting me to look at the parts by the writer. it was a book. and their excitement and depth to did the german novel for jessica's company as you develop it but the part of the detective who was somewhat of a. in a small town from upstate new york and i'm from a small town. there get my number and it's about

a woman who goes nuts one day and kills people. well it's kind of she one person so she is the least likely person to you would expect in this small town in there on a public beach and she has a one year old child her husband's there and then someone's playing their music very loudly in the next blanket over and she's. a switch gets hit and she takes this knife she says and kills them and then doesn't want to contest it she said she's guilty doesn't want to lawyer send her away and in the small town or so traumatized by the event dates are up for that but as the detectives have another idea that something bothers me about it also i work to try to unpeel the onion that was there not about the part what is it good about. i think it's.

you know for me he's calm lot of different aspects of it you know somebody who is himself a little bit of a mystery to him self and you know i think a good know are good stories like chinatown or wherever the detective is really looking for himself in a way. you know here's a clip from the sinner let's watch. who are not mentally ill insane people they have motives for what they do that they hide it or not and me coming there is not going stop until i hear something out of you that makes sense. there is someone out there who knows something. maybe its friends who are when your family. they get t.v. cameras following them every minute of the day because of the.

the good school gave them there for the rest of their lives with no explanation for what you did. on that frankie and survive third. what is she like to work with she said testy and she is a good person to other people she's respect for the creative inner she thinks a lot about the scripts which she's you know working in the center part and has that honor and as well as you know trying to produce as well but she's there it was a great it's been a great shoot i just finished shooting on wednesday so i just got back to l.a.

tonight the season one you know we started day air while we still shooting so there was an immediate success we surprised you know i hadn't done that much television you know but i thought. you know there's a lot of product out there there's a lot of stories about crime and everything else what's going to distinguish us we'll see and it was a great success since held for three weeks you know so and built it which is rare i'm told so it's going to come in season two yeah that's a big mystery because it and you don't know don't know anna the whole thing now does it in season one season one has a conclusion you know or does case is kind of brought to a close i guess in a way it's a sow's question of whether the next season would be ambros my character in another situation other than. speck i think one idea that they're working on is you read the book you know the writer asked me not to read it he said do your part is kind

of different in that was the biggest invention i think for the series of the sinner and so he said don't read it so i have a copy of it and i'm going to start reading and now that we're done shooting you know we always talk in roles about women aging. men as they get older are parts difficult to find wow. on this one i had to sign a new deal clause larry a what a nudity clause meaning meaning at sixty three i didn't expect that to do any more of those you know that's where when you get a job and you have to show some skin you know they are obligated to have a contract of how much skin and i would have to show nudity in this there's some new d.n.a. it's not totally lewd the anon's of being kind of benign but you know they want you to sign up for and i thought wow the last one i did these was a few decades ago but you know talk about the rules for men i never imagined that

there's something this interesting you know where his sees a very complicated character with you know sexual relations with a. couple different people and it's riri complicated and out there but you know do you see scripts all the time yeah there's lots of different kinds of things coming up going to be doing two parts in november october one is just a movie called cheney and. j.b. dick cheney who do you play i play nelson rockefeller did you ever meet oh i did did you interview on i've never interviewed him but i met him at a convention. well my father was a rockefeller republican you know remember that turmel they meet in a phone booth now. you still get excited above the job was the love that i think oh

yeah. propels you would keep she going i think there's some kind of. you know when you're inside that bubble and you're actually. you know inside a character that year exploring things about yourself that you have more doubt sometimes you know and and i think there's a sense of. you're letting kind of humanity feel flow through you in a way you're a vessel for other things if you make yourself available always you a break well you know i think i had kind of being one two punch with the breaks one was getting a part in ruthless people which was my first movie. and that with danny de vito and that midler and it was just eric it was a small part but it was memorable and that was the second break was mel brooks saw it and spaceball spaceballs how did you get that part because mel is crazy while i

love a man known for years i know you guys go to like working with him you know wild eyes while out of the you know it creatively i think he's like on a genius level as own thing how he puts it he is so bright and he in and came to see me in a play i thought and looking back now i realize how strange that is that a film director would come to see you in a play think about casting you you know but. and then later i worked in alice i worked with and i did scenes with her and so the bows that would spaceballs of fun shoot oh my gosh there was a big get over we had the first sequences out in the desert you know with the little people that planned the danks you know and my god mel riding around in the doomed buggy to get out of the set you know it's crazy. i tried to i wish i

had a very busy guy but you know we he had a the masters of cinema award you know and so. you just did a stand up in the vegas two nights really when did you see it no but i sort of advertised it was because mel as you know is was known like i'm totally like independence day i was the biggest grossing movie. huge hits and as you know because we. invaded my show we invaded your show. jeff gold bloom and the director of roland emmerich and you know i have so fond of you play two presidents. one of the television show really hissed c s that i was a guest on in that the view you on the set bets right sixteen hundred pennsylvania avenue very good and then of course independence day what's how do you approach being president well i always you know. think about.

it oh i remember when i first got offered the role it was just there they want you to consider playing the president in this movie and i said is that a comedy because i couldn't believe that i had i was president should material. they gave a talk he would roll in about a said you know it's really about how you triangulate with other people that if there's another conversation in the room those two people are always triangulating with the president in you realize those there he's always there i love them in the room that. independence day was a roaring hit to expect that no no that was the unexpected that they got to remember that year was it was in in january they were talking about the movies coming out that summer and they listed it it was twentieth of twenty movies they talked about that was the last movie on the list barely made the list and then they

had a great ad campaign you know july second they came july third they attacked the july fourth the day we fought back and that you know bumped it up and so it would became this thing that was highly anticipated in. then the whole publish the around the world well that was you know quite confusing for people a lot of them thought i was the president as they say. it was what do you think of the current president states well it's these are a lot of you know unusual times i think we're really you know in a crisis as a country we are looking at divisions that have never looked at so deeply before and they've never been driven so far apart to. sides it's going to be a long conversation to come out of it always your fault things. as glad my father's in on i have to see it i think it would really discourage him as a moderate republican he was a moderate republican and is

a rockefeller go up in western new york state small town he was a doctor but he loved the republican convention on t.v. you know he was all. love worsening where and larceny south of rochester new york which was a small town that. it's mentioned in the last paragraph of the last tycoon you know scott fitzgerald novel where a character gets off the train because he wants to get lost in a city in hornell new york hornell with h.j. fix not a corner not cornell no it's a big railroad hub they fixed the steam engines when we were turned who might build coleman want to trade places with for a day how about his funniest and encounter the answers to these questions and more in a game of theirs you only knew will be right back with the great. you're

watching. all the feel we can. get it on the. according to just. come along for the. all the world. and all the news companies nearly players but what kind of parties

are to america are to america offers more artsy america. many ways. just like the real news good actors. and in the end you could never you're on. some other parking lot all the world all the world's a stage we are definitely a player. with the similar airs wednesday as a ten pm on the usa network is set to star in the battle of the sexes a movie about that famous tempests match between billie jean king and. bobby riggs i interviewed both of them leading up to that emma stone and steve cohen you play who jack kramer are you familiar with jack curry the great tennis player who

was a writer or a covered that but he was he was feeded number one and then he began head of the u.s. lawn tennis association then a color commentator with howard cosell too so there's someone playing i would howard is playing howard his appearances are done digitally you know getting yes it's phenomenal i can play fifteen some of the scenes with him i'm not in those scenes no but some of the other. of the girls women on the team tennis team have scenes with as i remember jack did not like billie jean king and he were all in water and for billie jean jacques was the male chauvinist pig and their big. you know and just reason in jack was about by all accounts a reed is the bridge where the greatest guy in the world but for some reason they'd those two and the night before the big match billie jean says i'm not going to play if jack is the color commentator so that's good stand obviously in the film good i

really like it and so i'm surprised that everybody all the cast is great moments it's not a simplistic you know empowerment movie or an m. a play tennis she does everything in this movie i find it it's a brave performance you know because billie jean came out after. that whole thing but she was in the closet and wrestling with it in the in the movie has all that in it as well as the great tennessee which is a husband's name was larry yes yes jean king it was confusing because bobby riggs had a son named larry and my son plays that part my son's an actor now larry he's twenty four years old he's the been in for movies in a t.v. show and he's doing well but we're in this movie together and it's unbelievable we don't get there but then we're going to go both go to the toronto film festival for

the way to syria oh we're going to play a game of if you only knew the producers through these questions i just strolled muchas funniest fan encounter. funniest fan and well. i think the idea of the scariest for maine if that's it's not it was funny maybe later but at some point but i was doing appearance on the kelly and regis show you know and they were down in orlando florida in the heart of the summer and they had this thing where you come down a gauntlet line of fans that are there cheering and everything in the new walk upon this podium and i'm shaking hands and bob obliging and then also in this hand comes through and it's got a glove with the fingers cut off and it's just the it's a glove over winter glove in the middle of the summer and grabs my hand and let go

and i'm thinking oh no this is when i'm going to see a gun are what's going to happen and it was a guy and said i love newsies and newsies was the movie i did it's a musical movie at about the orphan boys who delivered newspapers of the turns century and in the movie they cut off all their fingers and so this family saw frazey they had the glove there and i thought all it's not an assassin is it or and biggest risk you ever took. biggest risk ever to call you know think. i was livin in montana you know and i said i got to go to new york city and try to be an actor and this place we'd most likely find you on your day off. i love my orchard you know i malise you know eleanor should have an orchard holly and hollywood terrorist uphill sides and you know california is unbelievable for

growing things if you could take one person dead or alive to lunch who would it be . oh man well i'm filled with nelson rockefeller now because they you know i'm going to play him in this movie coming up and i just met his son mark in his fifty's and he took three hours talking about what he was like you know he was quite. a dynamo you know and his vision of what it was to be a public servant was pretty impressive standing on a desert island what three things do you bring with you move man i would probably. i bring a shovel because they're like digging up plants and plants around so i can get my little orchard going you know and i probably bring. a break bring in a copy of. the animal cull ross preeti his book trees the eastern

united states which is just this great classic naturalistic count of pullman you're a renaissance man. best piece of advice you ever got. newbie's of advice my mother you know she always said her she was a big about inclusive being inclusive and in these times i think that's a hard concept but she always said you can always draw the circle a little bit wider you know you have our family but we can always include some one more you know as odd as they can be we can always drop what on earth today. is there a role you regret turning down though you never want to mention that because somebody played that part and you don't want to feel like oh i got it and i turned well let me ask you this was a hit yes it was a really great movie. it was i don't know if it was turning down or i couldn't do

it because they had another job but it was fargo i really i think that's one of the best movies ever made and that was the part that bill macy played and i think i had another you know we it's something else was there and i but that is you know one of those movies that will stand the test of time when you sort it what to think. i felt like i can't you know regret i think regrets are good when you have something that you did do and you regret it better than what you didn't do you know so many you trade places with for a day i would trade places for a day. usually somebody to to. to learn there's a great. you know naturalist name richard campbell who works down in florida at the town hall garden and i'd love to trade places with you know it's

a superpower you wish you had a superpower oh my god i guess levitation like to be invisible invisible. as. some social media questions read a stevens on the larry king now blog what was like to work with mel brooks were you intimidated by him at all. you know i get to just think about this is this about a month or two ago the new york times asked me to do a piece write a piece and i wrote a note john my relationship with john candy and in that movie because he was to me very often to a guy you are good it's a great sense of humor so you need gentle giant canadian canadian for. and mel was working with them and there was that those times where i thought oh my

god these guys are so funny effortlessly funny and i didn't come from comedy john and rick ran a scam from got him out you know from the no log. jay z. he just knew everything about you know he talk about you know when like what color is one name of a color is funny and it's a purple you know just like everything he we analyzed for what genius nancy stands on the larry king mel blog is there a chance we could see another independence day film. well that we did the sequel and it i die i did it so i don't know if i'm going to come back in it but hopefully somebody else will messy barry on the larry king. al broad did you get the chance to meet jessica beals husband justin timberlake if so was he is cool and funny in person as he seems. yes he's a good guy he's a good guy isn't a i mean it's it's really he's that's

a pretty. tried and true assessment of justin because he's good father good husband he's living his life so creatively he's taking on a little good singer the actor great actor. fifi and you on twitter do you plan to return to the theater. they get tempted you know and i i. did the goat advert all the new play. you know it's a really high point in my life like two thousand and i've tried to do a play every two or three years after that it's the actors media. you get to do your own editing and all these work must be great to do. you know i was lucky to do a series of his plays. at corrie on the larry king now bloody ever have the privilege to work with or get to know bill paxon if so what was he like. you know

last couple years and i think it was really sudden think it was not expected. terrence morgan on facebook what do you think is your most under-rated role today. because the questions you get on your site there. you know i always i'm fond of the orphans the weird ones that nobody else like her anything you know and some of you know i did a movie called zero effect with jake kasdan and that has its own following strong following their oath as zero effect with ben stiller and i is a kind of modern day sherlock holmes watson story and he was my i played the kind of the zero this great private investigator who's addicted to unfettered means and you know but it was a great great movie and jake is very son and i had met him on the sets of

doing a couple of larry's movies and he wrote the part for me. jane vesco on facebook is there a historical figure you'd like to play on screen. i just have done a couple i did. ralph yarborough somebody is not believe there's a center or a arbor alexa's woody harrelson plays l.b.j. this is coming out in the i don't know november and they've been waiting for that a lot rob reiner rob reiner each rect to direct it and leave i've been waiting for this for of yes they've held it in the can on our own i think it's really good movie and if you are bros the liberal left of lyndon johnson you know they clash and they will both of the day kennedy yes in the motorcade and we recreated that motorcade and you did guess with jennifer jason leigh played late plays ladybird in woody and it was the tories that kennedy on the morning is last morning he had to

arbitrate to get ralph to get in the car because ralph thought that l.b.j. was corrupt you know but you have to have a southern accent no no i well yes i did yes i did. i wished i was short he was short i couldn't get over that but there i tried to do everything else because there's some good you tube stuff on him so that he was someone that i did play that i really admired because he was a great environmentalist and all so important for civil rights and finally mary gave me on the larry king melbourne to give not acting what do you think you'd do. well i think have probably be an orchard to steal you know. things feel so good doing things to my guests builds home and be sure to see this center airing what those days attorneys doing on the usa network will also be starring in battle of the sexes out september twenty second can always find me on twitter and kings things i'll see you next time.

i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories that our critics can't tell me you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth artie's able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american public what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting

a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every we can you know what they're working. hello i'm tom hartman in portland oregon and here's what's coming up tonight on the big picture republicans like lindsey graham say that failing to repeal obamacare

will lead to socialism is that really such a bad thing conan just a moment and the equifax hacking scandal just keeps getting worse and worse so should we bring back the corporate death penalty and do away with the security threat once and for all all as coolio rivera and charles sour in tonight's lone liberal rumble. with just a week over to go before their chance to repeal obamacare with a simple majority vote expires center republicans are rushing to pass what could end up being one of the most destructive pieces of legislation in modern american history it's called the graham kraehe cassady bill and it's cruel even by republican standards which is saying a lot joining me now to talk about how people are fighting back against this bill i'm joined by larry kohut board chair of our revolution larry welcome back to the

program pleasure. a grid larry it's great to see so just how seriously should we be treating the threat of graham cassidy and for that matter let's go you want to give us a snapshot of exactly what it is that we're talking about here where they're going to groom graz to be sure so seriously is the answer the first question the last attempt to repeal failed by only one vote john mccain. i think there's a lot to worry about in terms of the senate so my are going to station our revolution and many others are mobilizing for calls into particularly into those republican senators what does it do so it and eliminates the individual mandate the employer mandate that employers either provide some kind of health decent health care or else pay a penalty and that individuals must sign up for some version of health care and order to avoid what's called a bad risk pool where only the people who know they're going to use it sign up and most seriously it really cuts medicaid and it does it under the guise of saying ok

we're going to give the states block grants and they'll decide what to do the problem is number one net they give the states less money and even worse they give more money to states that didn't do medicaid expansion under obamacare meaning make health care available to more low income people. and they give more money to those states that refuse those those medicare expansion like rex it's yes some red states ironically cassidy's bill cassidy's he's from louisiana his state would actually get somewhere around seven or eight billion dollars less i'm not sure he's added that up yet but that's what the latest data shows graham lindsey graham with south carolina would get a little bit more texas huge windfall something like twenty five billion more. now i understand under under graeme cassidy and when cast your first two it he also adds in ron johnson and. some other senator you know try to throw as many names

over the dean heller he calls it the cast the judge i cast graham cassidy heller you know what in any case i understand that one of the more bizarre pieces of this is that they want to change the law back to you know what it used to be only actually even worse in that if you or say are insured and let's say that your annual premium is just to pull a number of that have you know five thousand dollars a year whether you're pain or to your employer is. and you're you go to your doctor and your doctor says oh you have cancer and in fact it's already metastasized you got it a couple of different places we can take care of that but you know it's going to cost something that the insurance company can actually add. in addition to your premium you know your normal premiums still your five thousand dollars a year but they can add an addition of up to one hundred and forty thousand dollars

a year if you want to maintain your insurance do i have that right i'm not sure exactly but that's definitely the direction they're headed in and you know to them that's market based health care you need more health care you'll pay more for it and to call something else like single payer socialism quite ironic that the idea that when you're sick we all poor resources that's socialism but on the other hand the idea that you'll go bankrupt when you're sick oh that's marketplace capitalism that's what we want pretty ironic and we'll see how dean heller in nevada does when he runs for election on that on that platform. yeah and how many nevadans i mean you know with the list that i saw you know medicine at a cancer is one hundred forty two thousand regular cancer was seventy thousand that they just add to your not to your hospital bill butt. your insurance bill every year you know things like that so. when when the republicans were previously trying to repeal obamacare and replace it with nothing at all there was something

as terrible as this there was an enormous groundswell of activity there were protests all over the united states and national nurses united were doing things your group our revolution were doing things it was getting press coverage was getting substantial press coverage i caught a little bit of bill cassidy this morning on morning joe and i would characterize it is lying through his teeth. or at least let's say being radically disingenuous and i know that that campaign is going on but it seems like i'm hearing from you know the political people i know in washington d.c. the so-called insiders the people that i you know you know you trust their instincts and i'm hearing that there's actually a good chance this thing could pass and and i'm just astonished that there's not the really intense level of scrutiny of this i mean it hasn't even been scored by the by the congressional budget office for going to six but particularly in the

media this there seems to be no i mean obviously you know they're doing they're doing disaster porn right now with the hurricanes but still there's there's there's like no media coverage of this or am i missing something here no you're not missing it and that's why they're doing it the way they're doing it so you know they only have a week or so to do it and so this is called ram it through before anybody wakes up and the key really is the targeted mobilization as well as the general kind of you know try to get the media to pick up a story so places like the hell are nevada that will be key. and you know some of the other swing states susan collins in maine lose america at least i will go to the last time but hopefully they will hold their vote and then mccain himself . very interesting lindsey graham had something to say during a press conference about this check this. it's pretty well clear to me where the

country's going under obamacare and bernie care is going into further bankruptcy is more decisions further away from where you live so here's the choice for america socialism or federalism when it comes to your health care. seems a like a disingenuous false choice but to be the status quo is untenable your thoughts yeah exactly so you know america spends over four trillion dollars here on health care a huge chunk of that is already medicaid medicare v.a. benefits state funding the key is you know how do we want to spend it and what lindsey graham wants us to believe is we're all better off with market based health care even though it costs per capita twice as much as what any other democracy spends on health care but we're better off because it's market based we're better off even though no one i know can understand an insurance bill when it comes after you've had any kind of treatment whatsoever they're inscrutable but we're better

off because it's not government regulated the way medicare is and the people who have medicare and the people have parents that have medicare that actually is way simpler to understand what you're going to pay and you pay way less so the whole idea of bernie's bill medicare for all with amazingly sixteen senators jumping on as cosigners is that you know we actually don't have to increase the funding for health care we just have to repackage it so that employers continue to pay as low as well as the governor as well as the government and actually individuals can pay less than they pay now but the way to scare people is to say oh that's socialism and of course all it is is common sense health care medicare for all. yeah i mean it's socialism the same way your local fire department is socialism and it would spoil the you know it's the slap in a label on something easier the head of our revolution or on the board chair of our revolution you know nina is the is the president now what are you all doing to

fight this well so we are doing mass mobilization with massive calls into senate offices we started out immediately that's continuing as i said will now target state by state. you know into those key states and at the same time we're also trying to continue to build support for real alternative because people do realize that obamacare comes up short so at the same time organizing and doing education around the medicare for all bill to say to people look we want to fix obamacare this is the way to fix it and amazingly seventeen senators get that already and a majority of the house has signed up for a very similar bill from john conyers who's been at this for decades so you know that's what we're trying to do on the one hand here's a good way to fix it on the other hand here's a really bad way to fix it it actually doesn't fix it it misses it makes us miserable particularly if we happen to get sick. you know in the meantime paul feeney one of the one of the folks the revolution your group endorsed won his

primary last night massachusetts another one of those stories of seems to have vanished off the radar because it wasn't about you know a victory by the tea party can you tell us more about paul and what he and our revolution are trying to do yet paul's amazing i've known him for years he's a technician at arise and what i'd call working class hero he took a leave of absence he was the director of bernie's campaign in massachusetts but the really amazing and he's a key leader in our revolution massachusetts which is about twenty groups all over the state banded together to work on issues like decent health care to work for decent candidates like paul ballot measures last year rejecting an increase in charter schools and to change the democratic party but the amazing thing about paul is he ran a campaign straight out with that kind of messaging about health care about education about opportunity he didn't bat an eye and he beat essential traditional

democrat by fifteen points came from behind to do it couldn't be more excited this is somebody who spent his whole adult life fighting for the things that working people care about. yeah isn't that sort of the lesson the bernie taught us and you know a few other schama so on and others who you know almost regardless of party label but it will if you focus on the issues and and you give americans you know a clear understanding of the issues you know they go in the f.d.r. direction pretty much every single time as opposed to the you know the rand paul crazy train or mitch mcconnell or whatever you want to call it yeah exactly you know there is a huge problem in the united states about the democracy voting rights you know again closing in on how bad they were fifty years ago before the voting rights act and also big money in politics worst ever no other democracy in the world approaches it but an election like this one in massachusetts basically suburban

boston shows that even in what's not a hardcore democratic district that you can a suburban district you can elect people like paul feeney exactly as you said when you're willing to go door to door when hundreds of people will jump on the phones will text their neighbors about showing up to vote and that kind of special election that he still hopes to win in general election we're optimistic he'll do it and you know there's dozens of people like paul showing that it's not just about bernie sanders running for president that we can do it when we stick together and when we talk honestly about the issues and help inform people which are media you know which would rather focus on the sofa a soap opera dramas of who's up and who's down or the sports drama of who's ahead and who's behind it completely lose the issues and and when democrats focus on them it seems like they always win larry great having you with us tonight thanks so much for dropping always a pleasure thank you. coming up as the company's hacking scandal deep in is the

time to execute equifax i'll ask really or very unsure also our insides low and liberal rumble right after this break. all the field we go through. every the world with you. and you'll get it on the old role. the old according to just. come along for the ride.

all the world just dates and all the news companies merely players but what kind of partners are in t. america r t america offers more artsy america first leg in many ways. just like the real news a good actor bad actor and in the end you could never you're on. the market all the world all the world all the world's a stage and we are definitely a player. you guys and i made a professional is powerpoint to show you how artsy america fits into the greater media landscape. not. laughter all right but we are

a solid alternative to the we don't you liberal or conservative and as you can see his bar graph we don't skew the facts either talking at lefties talking at righties oh there you go above it all to look at world r.t. america is in the spotlight now every week i have no idea how to classify as it actually took me way more time than i care to admit. as the oh excuse me i don't believe the republican lies the grand cassady bill that the trying to force through congress without so much as a hearing is the cruelest attempt at repealing obamacare yet it's also a complete repudiation of our nation's founding values let's rubble.

joining me for that and so long liberal our julio rivera editorial director of the right reactionary times and charles sauer economist and president of the market institute guys thanks for joining us tonight thanks for having me thank you so much tom. it's great to have you so trump care three point zero aka the graham cassidy bill is a remarkably cruel even by republican standards piece a legislation for starters it phases out obamacare is medicaid expansion and it also phases out medicaid itself as a whole in its entirety at the end of ten years no more medicaid graham cassady also slashes federal funding health care funding by billions of dollars and then turns it into block grants the states can do whatever they want with them and i'm literally mean whatever they want they don't have to use it to pay for people's health care and as if that wasn't bad enough gramm cassady also allows insurers to

discriminate against people with preexisting conditions and if it gets signed into law you're a forty year old with a preexisting condition like say asthma insurers could slap you with a four thousand dollars premium surcharge if you've got a heart disease that surcharge could be as high as eighteen thousand dollars this is part of your insurance premium that's added on and if you've got cancer the insurers could make you pay as much as an extra one hundred forty thousand dollars a year to the insurance company just to keep your insurance whatever happened to the general welfare of the people which is mentioned in the preamble of the constitution the opening of article one section eight and the end of article one section eight julio well listen that has nothing to do with a private service listen the medical insurance industry and medical care is not a free service it's not something that you can expect your fellow citizen to kind

of offset the costs for anyone else and it makes perfect sense to have by now your premiums if you have a preexisting condition because it costs more this is just basic economics what part of that don't you understand if they talk about these essential services did it they're still trying to strip away these are all the mandatory minimum. i'm services that many people don't even use or want to do being forced to pay for look when you go to the i.r.s. when you go to the grocery store you can buy a can i hang on to say and charles let me at let me let me respond to julio if i may. julio you know you asked why don't i understand or something words to that effect about you know yes it's more expensive if you're sick than if you're not. if your house is worth five hundred thousand dollars and catches on fire and the fire department comes out and puts out your house and your neighbor's house is worth one hundred thousand dollars and catches on fire and the fire department comes out and puts out their house it's probably going to cost the fire department more to put

out the the big house than the little house but all of us pay the exact same amount of taxes because what we do is we spread the risk over the entire society so regardless of the size of your house when the fire department puts out the fire you know it doesn't last you anymore and while axe is a flaw in larry let me in to because in theory but he wanted to participate in the holy i was stop for a second julio control yourself take take your ritalin hold up so so if if if we're doing this with you know fire departments when our houses are on fire why why shouldn't the exact same principle apply when your body is metaphorically on fire from cancer or heart disease julio ok because that's only if you want to participate in the health care fire the fire department that has bigger implications because your neighbor's house can burn down it one house can trigger a fire that burns down the entire neighborhood if i go. on this is spread everybody around me and charles was going in

a right i know where trolls was going with it before you cut them off if you want to buy certain products they can't force you to buy products that you don't want to buy it's like if you go to the grocery store and you just want to buy health food and they're forcing you to buy chocolate if you don't want to buy it why should you be forced to do it and even more than that if you need to put on your thinking cap . because they aren't paying the same taxes people pay different taxes based on their property values that is an exuberant tax so instead of telling julio to be quiet we need to put on our thinking caps to get the policies right and also before they pass this bill they're going to have a hearing next week it's already up on the finance committees website you can go to it and see it for yourself but they're going to have a hearing the reason why the last effort failed was no hearings they didn't talk about it they didn't get that out in the public so before gramm cassady heller johnson passes they're going to have a hearing and also we need to talk about the actual provisions in the bill because if you have insurance you can't base these up charges so let's get our facts right

so we talk about these really important issues that are life and death for people before trying. exactly i don't take little as you're absolutely right and i stand and i stand corrected if you've got a half million dollar house you pay more in taxes than one hundred thousand dollars house so you guys are both right rich people should pay more into the pool to protect all of us both from fires in our houses and from from our bodies what they'll do whether they was you know i agree with you there and say there's a risk. i'm all in favor of that too. so let's move along to single payer as your public and see if you don't need additional services you shouldn't have to pay for services you don't want that's the premise and it's a pay that remember one you never know if you're healthy i mean you know it can it can creep up on you any day and number two of going to be the healthiest person in the world of a bus hits you it doesn't care i know they're still going to the hospital assessment and some people are of better risk and therefore they should pay less in

insurance and the studies suggest when you have a health savings account when you take that risk on yourself people are more likely to use health services they're more likely to have preventive care so you're exactly right let's let people have their money people will get it because if you have a health savings account you're probably making over ninety thousand dollars a year very few people who make a. under sixty thousand dollars a year have a health that you can see that said. them out and they use that that's where the studies come from tom how what's the average person at whole foods making ninety are we need to get our people are involuntarily having that money taken out of their taken out of their paychecks that's not a reasonable example but i'd like to do the right it wasn't for me she would help here let's talk about single payer as republicans try to force through their disasters graham cast a bill without so much as a hearing the american people are warming up to medicare for all according to a new politico morning consult poll a plurality of voters forty nine percent of americans now support single payer

health care thirty five percent oppose the idea seventeen percent have no opinion i don't understand the public in opposition to single later geisel ozomatli of all time let me just let me finish my question here if i may please you guys supposedly hate bureaucracy and waste so why should you support single parent a recent paper published in the annals of internal medicine found that single payer reform could save the united states of america which means you julio in your taxes you charles and your taxes could save single payer would save the united states of america five hundred four billion dollars a year just on bureaucracy i thought you guys hated wasting money and hated bureaucracy in this case obviously it's the bureaucracy of the big health insurance companies one of my. i'll tell you what you're missing first of all that poll is skewed as it was done by political i'm sure that the majority of people that were actually screened on that poll were probably democrats if people really wanted single payer why did bernie sanders win the presidency why did we reject obamacare

in electing the tea party in twenty tend to win the house in twenty fourteen taking back you know the senate for the republicans in donald trump winning the single biggest premise that they ran behind was repealing obamacare people don't want government health care they want choices look when you ask somebody if. a majority of the idol are you going to play. it's just one of those things if they're democrats they scott back and i argue that i mean this is understand that this is free that's the day i got to say that this is not the annals of internal medicine is not a liberal publication it's a publication of by and for physicians and people in the medical industry they concluded that we would save five hundred four billion dollars a year by hospitals not having entire floor of billing like we do in the united states but having one office with two people in it like they do in canada and in fact in scotland and canada which both have single payer they have both kept hospital administrative. administrative cost to twelve percent of revenue as

opposed to twenty five point three percent the u.s. a lot of which is going to. get insurance how that's paid is completely different than if you're taxing everybody i'm talking about in the last payer system it's a completely different thing yeah well because if you look at it they have less m.r.i. machines and they're in their private system than they do in their veterinarian system i know the doctor here that actually used to decide who went first in that order and it's a really sad story of a doctor that's actually playing god in the in this line we don't want that system here we want people competing because actually there's a stroke where i did it as colony of l. or r. sure you can go down the street and the price is changed from a couple hundred dollars for an hour i want to get into doesn't have as if i got a modulars of them are the machines out there marketing them to people and this is sara lee but they have people in kit people like kidney and love their system no i

don't know what i do they say i'm here for health care why do they come here to get they don't they they don't i live on pillar of every saturday two buses used to pull up to the middle of downtown and everybody would get on to drive up to montreal to buy their pharmaceuticals and you know they are american to me and i didn't say it's gold or health care for closely going to a kid to mexico. dental care and to thailand and other countries for at the peak here more americans leave the united states for medical care then foreigners come to the united states go to thailand there as if they want to go to brazil for a boob job but not for important things like cancer and when they would like here because we are the best when they go to thailand they're going because of their brain that cash price they can also go to oklahoma they can go to florida and they can go to virginia and that's where the people from canada come it's all guys the only guys should get out of the united states and see some of these other countries anyhow charles and julio great having you with us thanks for dropping by tonight you. know and that's the way it is tonight and don't forget democracy is not

a spectator sport it requires you get out there get active tag your. peers will people been saying about rejected in the us actually just pull. the billy show i go out of my way to punch you know what it is that really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of r t americans do the same. apparently better than. the c. people you've never heard of love or death to the next president of the world bank takes you. seriously send us an e-mail.

you guys i made a professional is powerpoint to show you how artsy america it's good for the greater media landscape. laughter all right we are a solid alternative to the we don't skew liberal or conservative and as you can see in this bar graph we don't skew the facts either talking at. he's talking at righties oh there you go above it all so look out we're all artsy americans in the spotlight now frankly i have no idea how to classify and it actually took me way more time than i care to admit. my passion tonio and this is america's lawyers earlier this year the e.p.a. decided that they were not going to ban a commonly used. call to pirate for the pesticide had been a constant state of jeopardy with us for going to agencies for years in newly appointed to ph d. scott through it decided to end the discussion once and for all by saying that hey it's a good pesticide we're going to let it go there's

a very good reason why this pesticide has been in limbo for so long and scientific reports on the toxicity of this compound were showing that it had the potential to severely damage the brains of children and reports were shown that thousands of people across the globe were dying every year because of exposure to this chemical tonight we'll tell you the story on how a major chemical company duped the public again duped the e.p.a. in order to keep their highly profitable toxin on the market in your body and later in the show a company with jared kushner formally head is the c.e.o. he was in charge of the company well now it's under fire for seeking the arrest of people who can't pay their rent in baltimore maryland so don't go anywhere america's lawyers starts now.

in one thing sixty five dow agro sciences bought a pesticide called. brought into the market the pesticide became widely used on crops all over the world due to how effective it was it killing mosquitoes ants roaches and other insects that pose a threat to the global food supply fifty two year. years after it was first introduced the pesticide is used in more than one hundred countries around the globe on more than fifty different kinds of commercial crops if you live in the united states and you've eaten apples lettuce peaches oranges bananas or potatoes in the last fifty years chances are you've been eating food that's been sprayed with this chemical the e.p.a. estimate estimated that between one nine hundred eighty seven and nine hundred ninety eight about twenty one million pounds of this pesticide were used and uli in the u.s. by two thousand and seven clip our focus was the most commonly used organic milk phosphate pesticide in the united states with an estimated eight to eleven million

pounds eight to eleven million pounds applied to our food in nonresidential turf like golf courses like most pesticides it's a neuro toxin that disrupts the normal function of the nervous system in the insects leading to death but as years of scientific research is now telling us this dangerous pesticide can also act as a neuro toxin in human beings even though dow chemical claims of course that their pesticide is completely harmless to human beings at normal doses we've heard that before science tells us that exposure can cause very serious and very permanent damage to the nervous system of people who are exposed experimental animal studies suggest that infants and children are more susceptible than adults to the effects of low exposure because they've addict they have a decrease capacity to define to detoxify in the metabolize this chemical this results in disruption in the nervous system and developmental process exposure by pregnant women or infants can lead to impaired brain development resulting in

a lifetime of hardships these are developmental injuries that can't be overcome a corrected once brain development is impaired the damage is permanent among adults applicators of pesticide on farms were noted to have a far higher incidence of lung cancer than the general population as as well. among the population of farmers that use other forms of pest control they're also far more likely to develop a condition called we use which occurs when the airways become restricted after repeated long term exposure to even allegedly safe levels of this pesticide there really might not be safe levels. joining that explain this story a little bit as fair and cousins executive editor of the trial lawyer magazine fair and let's start with the pesticide itself what does the science tell us about this

about this chemical. the science is telling us that this chemical is far more toxic and dangerous than anything that dow chemical has ever told us and scientists have been studying this particular corp for decades now and it's telling us that just like it works on insects as a neuro toxin it is doing the same thing to human beings we know that pregnant women exposed to this pesticide are more likely to give birth to children with neurological impairments low birth weight. brain mouth malformations these children grow up with lower i.q.'s lower attention spans a lower working memory than normal children who were not exposed to this and that is just the tip of the iceberg and what we're seeing in children we're also as you pointed out the farmers who use this pesticide are exposed to it every day are developing very serious respiratory diseases they have

a fifty percent more likely to do good chance of developing lung cancer than the general population even though the on average they have a fifty percent lower tobacco use rate than the general population so you can rule out outside fairly laid back o. use with their lung cancers isn't this the same story that we hear again and again and again from the chemical industry it always starts out that they are trying to get a chemical like this push through the through the v.a. they're calling on all of their political ammunition all of their financial ammunition all of their media which loves seems to adore the chemical industry because they advertise so much on places like him s. and b. c. you won't see this story by the way on him s. and b. c. because they can't tell the story their advertisers don't allow him to do it but we see the same thing play out in then we find out oh all of a sudden we start taking

a look at the clinical data. and the clinical data is deplorable and then we go back and we ask the regulators why didn't you do something about it we asked the media why didn't you report about it and that's thousands of people dead by then dead and injured by them isn't this just the same story we see time and time again from dupatta dow chemical name the chemical monsanto name the chemical and we've seen this played out again and again because a the media has no more guts to tell these stories be we don't have a regulatory system that even works mildly anymore and c you don't have a government at all this going to do anything more than slap these people on the on the wrist when they get caught nobody goes to jail they kill thousands of people nobody goes to jail what's your take how is this any different at all than all the cases that we have to report on the show. well what's remarkable about it is that it's not remarkable in that regard you could replace the word corp with c eight

with spelter west virginia with round up you can replace the word dow with merck pfizer astra zeneca any other major company months santo and du pont as you pointed out it's the exact say it's like they're all reading out of the same playbook you know we make this horrible toxin our internal studies show that it's terrible and kills people and by the way killing ten thousand people around the globe annually but anyway we make this toxin it's killing people we know it we present this to the regulatory agencies we tell them look these studies can't really be trusted trust us though it's a safe chemical regulatory agency signs off on it the lawsuits begin the documents are uncovered it's the same story every time the corporate media then has to play catch up so like suddenly oh well we didn't know this was happening we didn't know what was going on yes you did independent outlets have been reporting on it for

years even in the clase a quote poor pirate the e.p.a. itself has come out with negative studies on it corporate media ignored it just like they all have yeah corporate media this is part of the story don't you see this is part of the story last week we heard m s n b c talk about oh my gosh our t. has to register as a foreign agent now they must be doing something wrong when no every company that does business in the united states from another country has to register so so all of a sudden why do they attack an organization like our t.v. or al-jazeera or these independent organizations why do they attack us because we tell these stories that they are our word from fiftieth floor don't don't tell that story because you're going to dry up advertising dollars but by god here you've got a product that's killing people. that is injuring the brains of small children and you would go to mass and b.

c c if you can find them reporting one time about this where they actually do a story that means something ok so what what do we know about this chemical that is absolutely under speed what do we know about the dangers of this chemical. well here's oh no we already talked about the health effects the let me read to you what the e.p.a. itself announced that they put out last november two thousand and sixteen here it is all food exposures exceeded safe levels children ages one to two exposed to levels of core pyar folks that are one hundred forty times more than the e.p.a. has deemed safe there's no safe level of core pyar folks for drinking water meaning if any of it gets in the water it is contaminated in unusable but we still drink it anyway pesticide drift can reach on safe levels at three hundred feet from the edge of a farm where it's sprayed residual pesticide residue is dangerous even eighteen days after application to crops there is no safe level for this i mean hell they eat p.

a bandage for use in homes. early in the years two thousand two thousand and one said no this is so dangerous we can't have normal people going to the hardware store buying it and putting it on their lawns because it could kill them and yet in march of this year scott pruitt the new head of the e.p.a. said you know what i'm going to ignore the science i'm going to side with my buddies over in industry and we're going to end the debate on corporate yes once and for all so have at it are mostly stumped as much as you want we sit on every story we see on every story whether it's round up we got monsanto this killing people with roundup causing causing blood diseases that are killing people i defy you if you're watching this program go in find one time where a station like the m s n b c has reported anything about where they tell the truth about what the story is behind the story you won't find it and the reason you won't find it because they get huge advertising dollars dollars from people like monsanto

and dow in dupont and you will never get these stories until somebody in your family here is sick or dying from something like this product that's why. you're going to get the story but they'll attack independent media like you know like our t.v. or like al-jazeera or the independent t.v. stations because we can tell the story because we don't have advertisers telling us no you know you better not tell that so we don't care we tell the story if it's true and that's that's part of the problem here fair on the part of the problem where we don't have any help from corporate media getting these stories out so at this point it's done deal isn't it i mean this is you know you've got pruitt who's owned and operated by trump owned and operated by the industry this is going to happen isn't it unfortunately yes and just like all of the other instances of eventually what's going to bring this to light what's going to bring it to the corporate media attention is when the lawsuits begin to be filed because we know

the dow knows about the dangers we know they're under playing the dangers and we know that this thing is causing significant problems in children and farmers ten thousand deaths a year across the globe in more than one hundred countries combined yet this thing is going to eventually make it to the news but only because dallas going to find themselves in hot water and nobody's going to be able to ignore it at that point if you pay your rent you could go to jail and that's exactly what companies one company called cushion are companies been practicing intensely in the baltimore city area that's next. on larry king you are watching our t.m. our question for. you

claim. it's called the feeling of freedom. every the world should experience. and you'll get it on the old the old. the old according to just. come along for the. play.

for decades the american middle class has been railroaded by washington politics. big money corporate interests that's thrown down a lot of boys that's how it is in the news culture in this country now that's where i come in. i'm ed schultz my son r t america i'll make sure you don't get railroaded that you'll get the straight talk in the straight news. questionable. to jail for not paying your rent or baltimore city landlords in maryland say definitely yes but the company criticized most for this practice is a commissioner company and that's not only because the previous see all of creation or company was gerrard or but because his company is known for having sought out the most civil arrests to collect that join now to talk about this is testing.

asten president of the baltimore city in the c.p. tests so more than that when i see these numbers one thousand legal actions in maryland were filed by cushion or affiliates and court documents say twenty have been detained tell us about the story it's incredible and again this is not a story unless knock it out. yes it certainly is than we're just starting to hear a lot about it i guess because of him being a son in law a lot of people will go to court and the average tenant they don't go to court with knowledge of what their rights are they go to court looking to try to see if they can pay their rent that they owe in order to stay in place unfortunately they don't have a lawyer and they don't have an advocate they cannot advocate cannot stand up so what happens is that a lawyer with a lot of knowledge or a representative from the cushion or. company will come in and talk louder and

faster than the tenet and they win and then they get evicted and that if that doesn't happen if the person doesn't show up for some reason and has a lots of reasons why they don't. two three years even six months later they could be at a new address and someone will come a sheriff will come and detain them and then not show what they have been a lot of stuff and it's because they owe maybe two three four hundred and not a lot of money is not like thousands of dollars it's usually less than five hundred and they get locked up and detained in court and jail and then they have to pay to get out and then still go to court for these debts that cushion us company is falling on them so it's a terrible situation for people to be ok so yeah. so we used to call this debtors prison and we did away with debtors prison in the united states because we don't throw people in prison because they can't pay the bills but that's the way it used to be in the united states and then we did away with debtors prison but here you

have this thing called a body attachment and body attachment is where they simply go out and get and they use this issue to over one hundred of these judges in baltimore where they're going out and actually grab the people brought them and in the debtors prison and then kirschner says well we're not going to let them out so we find a way to get our money is what you have here is you have. the powerful just trampling all over the powerless i mean if he didn't want to rent to that person that he doesn't have to win if he doesn't want to be in this business and understand there's risk to the business you're not always going to get paid then don't get into the business but here it's this is been turned upside down it's on its head and it's amazing to me that baltimore of all places is so all in on this what's your take. well i think it's terrible that baltimore because right now it's unfortunate but for the past year i've seen documentation that baltimore is in the top cities of and five or ten cities

a number one maybe of a big and this is one of the extra choices that is affecting us and it happens to people of all walks of life there's been some professional people have gotten caught up in this and a lot of time as a single female with children who cannot afford to pay or something happens they are alive but no one should be victim or have a body attachment because of rent or because of a debt there's so many resources but most people do not know what to do in a timely fashion some women don't even know to put their money in escrow and even when i've seen people have their money in escrow when they go to court the judge is as still favorite the landlord because this flicker and what happens is that the ted it gets to roy and the deal and it happens all the time and is happening too much and baltimore i'm hoping a lot of myself with and p.c.p. and some of the lawyers and some advocates that when january gets. to our legislative session starts in annapolis that we can go to the governor and go to

the legislative body of the senators and delegates and ask them to put in a bill to try to do some adjustments with this because it's totally unfair to the working class people test a limit let me put this in perspective for you we just got done we just got through doing a story on dow chemical making a product that's causing brain damage in children we see it every day pharmaceutical companies killing people by the thousands because they keep a product on the market today knows this fact and it's causing harm we see wall street what sold a trillion dollars from the american economy who went to prison there are no but these these folks if you're dressed in a three piece suit and you have a rolex watch on and you happen to be in some big tower on wall street you don't go to prison but here we have peace. all being arrested literally arrested and thrown in jail because cushion or they haven't paid cushion or his his rent that that with the dichotomy of where we are in the us today there is this double standard of

justice can you imagine somebody being thrown in jail because they didn't pay their rent and having a police officer go up in the tach and buy taken mensah possession and taken him into a jail because they didn't pay the rent but we have these cats that are killing people by the thousands all over this country they're stealing money by way of life a kind of scam stealing your mom and pop that we have all of this this this problem in the u.s. where we have this double standard in this to me this story to me really lends that double standard what is your take on that. i agree if you one hundred percent because what happens if think about what happens the day that that person has a body attachment and is taken from their home or from their job then that means they go to jail they have a racket they probably will lose their job because if they don't get out of jail within a timely fashion and don't show up to work their children are at home and then some

family members or friends have to jump it is a whole ripple in effect what happens to that person to put them in this kind of situation for just for rent debt and a body attachment is deplorable and it happens too much and is not worth it they're paying one hundred fifty dollars to fill out the forms to get this done a measly one hundred fifty dollars to have someone go serve about the attachment and as to what happens is that a lot of the property that cushion i guess he's being subsidized by government funds fannie mae freddie mac. government right and is for poor people and that is it plausible that he's getting government funds to have poor people or low income people live in his property and then he's going to do more damage and he's getting extra benefits and tax reduction and then he's going to take them to court because he doesn't get three hundred dollars well. terraces where it's worse than that if you really want to land this you know what he has the government working for him now the words he's getting all

these other benefits tax benefits subsidy benefits you name it and that now kirschner has got the government working for him to collect his debts and while we're already hatching somebody's body and so on i'm in jail you've got you've got some cat in wall street this stealing billions of dollars from mom and pop type pension programs and nobody goes to jail the first time i got to tell you something i'm glad you're out there i hope in the boise people make this a big story i don't at this point it is not a big story and that's embarrassing that we don't see this story reported on corporate media because there's no money in it you know you're not in the end. blade c.p. is not a big advertiser with m s n b c and so because of that it was tough for him to get these stories out i'm glad you could come on as a true i'm glad you could come on and talk to us today ok and really thank you for that image of the great work and so like you so much thank you you thank.

after more than four decades behind bars charles manson cult member leslie van hooten has just granted parole it's now up to california governor jerry brown to decide whether or not she should be released back into society that howden went to prison in one thousand nine hundred ninety of the brutal brutal murders of leno and rosemary bianca los angeles grosser his wife murdered by manson and his followers during a bloody killing spree that also included the massacre of pregnant actress sharon tate and four others then who was and was a part of the highly publicized murders but she was sentenced to life for the brutal murder of all those other folks joining me now for more on this is legal journalist for trial lawyer magazine molly varos molly i'm outraged the parole board would even give this woman a second chance this is a woman that under the law before the law change should have been executed i mean absolutely should have been executed and so i have no sympathy for this woman no

sympathy for the manson family whatsoever the idea of any of them getting out is just so deplorable mean what your take well i know a lot of people feel the same way you do in fact the parole board told van houten when she came up this last time for tend to get her parole they said we've received tens of thousands of letters from people who do not want you back out in the street but that didn't stop and they still said that she's met the legal requirements of making parole so they granted it to or this year just like they granted it to or last year that last year governor jerry brown of california stepped forward after reviewing the decision and said no i'm going to veto this she is not allowed back out but she went back up before the parole board again this year and made her twenty first time and they did granted again so now she's got to see that result so what there is your service act it's a check box of these probe awards go through into something sometimes you have such extraordinary circumstances that you have to say you know what the check box doesn't work anymore i. personally i'm going to write jury brown i hope everybody

watching this show will write jury room and not let this happen if you go back and read helter skelter if you if you take a look at what this what this family of lunatics did to so many people there is the idea of her walking the street i don't care how old she is when she's sixty eight sixty eight i don't care if she's ninety nine she needs to die in that prison these people did not get a second chance to be paroled that she murdered this particular and i you know full disclosure thing now i come from a prosecutorial background so it doesn't shatter. it what's what is your to your well it's interesting to me because there are two issues that jumped out when i was like in the seven one is what you said about if she's mentally requirements for parole despite the circumstances that she's done that the circumstances that the heinousness of her crime should play in this keeping her present i think a lot of people feel that way but on the other side of that for instance the los angeles area times is getting those area papers are getting letters to the editor saying hey if you don't let her out and she's model good behavior because that was

one of the reasons that the parole board thought she should get out she started numerous programs that helped other and may she has been a model of good behavior received her bachelor's i'm actually a bachelor and master's degree in counseling i'm not saying bleeding heart i'm saying other people are are like hey she could be a model for other it would be a deterrent to other inmates well if she was denied well you know it sounds like she's doing a lot of great things in prison for murdering people in prison let her do those great things in prison but putting her back out on the street is just so deplored and then this family didn't does not want her back on the jury they were there for the latest parole board hearing oh i don't read helter skelter greed helter-skelter in understand why i feel like this is a mix prostitute yes well she did like you said she was going to get the get death penalty but then it was revoked they banned it in one thousand seven hundred sixty automatically got that life for that wife with the possibility of parole thank you and finally live some good news for those who believe mexican american studies have a place in. public schools a judge ruled that racism was the basis for banning the teaching of american

mexican american studies at tucson unified school district in arizona the fiasco started after the lawyers who are well known former labor leaders say that republicans hate latino's during a speech arizona's former attorney general tom horne called their remarks hate speech and targeted mexican american studies believing that they were influencing students to hate their own country as he put it he then campaign to remove the program in the school district eventually caved in and got rid of it in the decision to reverse his ban judge wallace the sheema cited a blog post from a former arizona legislator who said that the mexican american studies course uses the same technique at all for hitler used to rise to power judges have yet to decide on a full remedy but hopefully things will now come to a swift and reasonable appropriate clothes that's all for tonight be sure to check us out at a new website at a dot loft you can actually talk to an attorney about any of the stories we cover
