5:01 pm
i'm the military and you're watching our team america will begin this hour with tensions mounting between washington and pyongyang the u.n. general assembly in new york saw some explosive exchanges between president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong il is trying to be chavez has the story as the united nations general assembly approaches its final days tensions continue to rise between north korea and the u.s. today there have been fiery exchanges between president trump and north korea's leader kim jong un calling each other mad in a statement by kim jong il and he calls trump a mentally deranged doe tart we looked that up and that meant an old person especially one who has become a week or senile their marks came after trump speech at the u.n. this week where he referred to kim as rocket man on a suicide mission and saying if the u.s. is forced to defend itself words allies we will have no choice but to quote totally destroy north korea the statement went on to say trump is unfit. to hold the
5:02 pm
progress of supreme command of a country and isn't a politician but a rogue and against are fond of playing with fire as trump to face the world rejected the existence of me and my country and made the most vicious declaration of war we will seriously consider the execution of a fitting most serious retaliatory contingency plan overnight the north korean foreign minister said that that could include a hydrogen bomb over the pacific ocean. i think that would conduct the strongest ever a hydrogen bomb in the pacific. this morning trying to twitter saying quote kim jong un of north korea who is obviously a madman who doesn't mind starving or killing his people will be tested like never before meanwhile in a response to kim statement south korea warned north korea to restrain itself from provocative attitudes and urged the country for more dialogue. it was korea should immediately stop reckless provocations that assume
5:03 pm
a hostile attitude toward other countries and leave types of nation and destruction rather come out into a dialogue to peacefully resolve i was going to issue a little known song to the question you know this is just a day after trump announced another round of economic sanctions and with japan and south korea by his side he announced that china which is north korea's largest trading partner agreed to tough new steps to isolate kim jong un china's beings immediately stop doing business with pyongyang meanwhile at a media conference today at the u.n. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov urged all parties to stick to a diplomatic approach to the korean peninsula crisis condemning both reckless tests of pyongyang and belligerent rhetoric of the u.s. . so we have to keep calm down the hotheads to understand that we do need pauses then we need some contact. north korea is expected to address the united nations assembly tomorrow morning reporting in new york trinity chavez r.t. . and for more on the wrap up of the u.n. g.a.
5:04 pm
i asked former u.s. diplomat jim chatteris for his take on president trump's speech well i think presidents trump speech was really two different speeches he used the word sovereign or sovereignty twenty one times he gave a trump is to america first speech but the content the real heart and substance of it was what amounted to something close to a declaration of war on iran and north korea this was not trump isn't this is not national first to america first this is very dangerous frankly neoconservative globalist belligerency that i think points in a very different direction from the rhetoric that he gave and what about the response from north korea though to trump's u.n.g.a. appearance it's making a lot of people really nervous particularly america's asian allies south korea and japan to name a few how is the president's rhetoric putting these countries in harm's way while
5:05 pm
this guy's in it as in their defense well it frankly scare the socks off of them because this is this is sounding almost like trash talk before a fight except we're not just talking about fists we're talking about real war yeah we could lose thirty thousand americans on the d.m.z. in korea hundreds of thousands maybe millions of south koreans go goodness knows how many north koreans how many japanese if this goes terribly wrong to a rational person we should be saying as steve benen said roughly be shortly before he was thrown out of the white house that there is no military solution to this unfortunately the people around trump and seemingly the president think that definitely is a military solution how much do you think this has to do with getting rid of all of his closest advisers that put him in the white house and now being surrounded by pentagon people there's a lot of speculation about that some people say well maybe trying to mean anything he said during the campaign he was just a con man i don't think that was the case i think he was sincere about all this but you know. i think i think he is in a sense a captive of a kind of
5:06 pm
a cabal of globalists and generals on the other hand he's not even sadat who appointed these people who put them all there who put madison kelly and and the master in there there where they're basically all all they could they could just as easily easily have been a jeb bush or hillary clinton administration that's right and you have said that all along in the last few months. let's talk about iran the nuclear deal he had some strong words about right as well is it possible for a president trump to walk back a president obama iran nuclear deal though of course he can and i expect what he's likely to do in byock over fifteen to not souter is to say they're in violation of the deal maybe not necessarily pull out but throw the dead cat on congress's lap and let them figure out what to do next as and they have sixty days to decide what to do about sanctions or that he could he goes pull this out now with the stories that mcmaster and some of these other people do want him to stay within the deal
5:07 pm
tillerson does i don't know what he's going to do he says he's made up his mind i guess we'll find out eventually and secretary of state rex tillerson had that sideline meeting or two actually with sergey lavrov they talked about hot hot items like iran north korea syria isis tillerson also met with the turkish president are two one and the u.s. special envoy in the anti isis campaign brett mcgurk and from that meeting came to washington position opposing the kurdish kurdish referendum your thoughts on that. there is a look at the official list of anti isis coalition countries that doesn't include iran doesn't include russia doesn't include syria nor does the countries are bearing the main weight of the fight against isis we've had some very scary standoff now between u.s. supported and russian supported forces in syria you really do wonder what the agenda is now that isis is on the ropes and we about to see. the outbreak of the
5:08 pm
second syrian war scrambling over the what comes next in syria is it possible to have an anti isis coalition and not include russia and like you said any iran as well it's possible if one doesn't care about the real facts on the ground and the that's what we've got it's it it's the mentality of people who think that everything is simply the united states and whoever is our coalition of the willing and the other real players don't matter if they're not subservient to whatever it is we're trying to do so it's kind of the ostrich approach put your head in the ground and let's and again this is all very familiar this is classic george bush and obama type of thinking why does it still exist under this administration all right we got to leave it right there that you so much former u.s. diplomat jim chatteris. and as the world leaders meet in new york this week for the u.n. g.a. chris hedges sat down with one of the african africa heads of state often five blind in conversations about global affairs hague the president of the republic of
5:09 pm
namibia who joins on contact to discuss how his scarcely populated country in south west africa is fighting for economic independence while also relying on global partners like china there's been quite a bit of money including in your country mostly with uranium development but also i think they have farming projects on but this has been true no let's say for the last couple decades where china did not have that kind of foreign presence i mean the the chinese may have supported resistance movements and stuff. but now they're building railway lines roads infrastructure projects and also developing natural resources some of which like the iranian they need. this. we need to go to the americans with through with them come out of the protests you have business somewhere as maybe and this is about you and we need development you somebody to come to that to help doing that. but i know you are saying is that we
5:10 pm
dread we'd. better do good to do a good job but everybody must come under the terms they used to bring the old with us to push will but those are really i went to tentative with high unemployment among so intense that they didn't know what we have our own nose so they didn't know what i would go see the monthly what. twitter and it's going to read seven days after and i will get up so i think also got them on the re-implanted you get them to recognize your union i think oh yes of course since they don't usually do that but you have to talk to people and i think bailey's than it is. they don't behave like that. the kurds in syria are well known for their role in the fight against isis but this time the kurds in iraq are making big headlines artie's joseph ricci takes
5:11 pm
a closer look at the latest in iraqi kurdistan the kurds straddle the borders of iran iraq syria and turkey but kurdistan is not a nation that soon could change on monday september twenty fifth the kurdish regional government in northern iraq will hold a referendum for independence from baghdad baghdad has issued a demand to halt the referendum while the u.n. suggested postponing the vote the fear is the votes affect on regional stability turkey's position is very important because in case if tokyo turkey goes in turmoil then you have right i had like greece and bulgaria which are members. i mean these are the first two countries that will be affected and i do think that then all the european project is going to collapse because they were not able to handle in two months eight hundred thousand refugees which brought you up almost to a cliff because they were not able to split them equally so how can
5:12 pm
a small country like you know compared to the size of all the european continent turkey will deal with all this three millions for a longer period or united kurdistan would have affects on all regional players sparking fears of a conflict that continued inclusion of the kurds in iraq could also lead to conflict they have never been one nation you know to tell you the truth it's never ever been one nation state in iraq kurds have been either step son of the arabs or. as i said it's been an unsuccessful marriage you could see you know either way the key figure in this is iraq's masoud barzani a traditional ally of turkey and the u.s. but the u.s. has not come out firmly against the referendum what are they doing to prevent it they just you see that just some sort of like speech that is done for by design it to halt the referendum but on the other side you see that. people from
5:13 pm
senate or from the congress from time to time telling to turkey why is tokyo posing in the plan that kurdistan actually it will be in favor of turkey they say that turkey's parliament has approved military force in syria and iraq and is currently conducting drills on the border with iraq or early one the independence of the kurds in syria and iraq threatens turkey's territories not all kurds agree but in turkey they have. made it very clear that their main target is not independence and they've said this many many times throughout the peace talks throughout the fight even they've said that their main target is not independence so i don't think turkey should have this fear and oppose the independent independence of the kurdistan regional government of iraq if you don't the referendum will pass but whether the united states will or should react remains to be seen it's the outside
5:14 pm
powers intervention which create that this problem which created these disorders. eventually the power of a cure as a result of the american invasion in iraq that's a lot an environment. where isis was created russia and the u.s. may wait and see avoiding the creation of a new license especially with a terrorist group on the verge of defeat joseph washington or two. and today an eighteen year old man has been formally charged with carrying out the attempted london tube train bombing on september fifteenth i met her son is accused of causing an explosion that endanger the lives of hundreds of people for more on this story i spoke earlier to ending the show and she is a former and i five intelligence officer turned whistleblower take a look it's a sense of just shock yet more attacks they've had the westminster bridge attack they have been a member of the bombing attack in the u.k. as well and there's
5:15 pm
a sort of sense that anything could happen so you get used to cars running people down the streets so all the bridges and streets are now protect with bullets you know get used to the idea of machete attacks and suddenly someone comes up with a more sophisticated attack such as this bomb i mean thank god it didn't explode properly but if it had it would cause mass casualties so i think this is the sense that it could come in any direction in any sort of different scale of attack as warning people sort of a sad sad statement on society right that people have become accustomed as you said yes i mean it's called the new reality but i mean i remember when the provisional ira were carrying out a bomb attacks on prettily weekly basis at one point in london and there wasn't a sense of fear i mean if it was a bomb attack there was a warning people would be evacuated very often people would not die it would be infrastructure would be hit the fact is any of these types of attacks can come from anywhere and it makes people slightly on edge and the authorities in london were able to locate this young man and the others that were tied to him what some reasonable speed but some other people were mistakenly scooped up and those now
5:16 pm
innocent men are being. harassed and alienated both within the muslim community and by others outside of their community in london is there any such way to be more precise when narrowing down on suspects there should be yes because of course both the suspects were already known to the police they were already under investigation they were circle refugees from i think iraq and syria and we've seen this time and time again with most of the attacks across europe over the last few years is that all the suspects were already known to the authorities and they haven't moved either because they are drowning in information because of this massive surveillance infrastructure or because of incompetence on the inside no i'm sure it's probably the former rather than latter we would hope so yes we hope so oh that's the pattern of terror that's kind of spanned through europe london is just one of many cities that have obviously been recently hit and the u.k.
5:17 pm
the whole of the u.k. what do you noticing about these attacks that different approaches by terrorists or are we learning learning anything new from these these new attacks i think obviously because isis is being squeezed in the middle east its territories are being eroded they're being defeated militarily there they have been putting out these words to their so-called followers over the social media go out and carry out attacks in your home country whether you're returning jihadi or whether you've just been radicalized within your own country so there is that one of the emerging trends is that often these people have started out with very sort of louche lose a western lifestyle often they have doubles in mind i primed perhaps using drugs that sort of thing as indeed with this london tube attack so we see that they have come to the attention of the authorities that way to begin with well didn't very often very young as well and just alienated and unhappy about the lifestyle they are leading so they think well you know this looks me a different way it's glamorous and we saw again this happens
5:18 pm
a lot in northern ireland civil war dispossessed young men would find a certain status a certain. sense of worth all of them joining again exactly harming mit when many more other people run the gunman board who might go out and fight other gang members it's that sort of mentality and that's what we're seeing emerging quite often now across europe and now it's switching gears a little bit here a lot it actually last but not least you're in town to attend a very special award ceremony recognizing whistle blowers yourself a whistle blower can you tell us your thoughts on the recent controversy surrounding harvard and chelsea manning first being invited as a special guest to harvard university and then following the cia chiefs comments disapproval basically the university withdrew that invite what are your thoughts on that whole situation entirely disappointed i mean the whole treatment of children running off to watch exposed and let's not forget those were very serious war crimes committed by america and the treatment she received torture and a huge prison sentence of course that was commuted by the outgoing president obama
5:19 pm
so her to have gained recognition for the fact that she has expertise an alternative voice to offer to academia and very prestigious races of study as well so that's been taken away so swiftly because of pressure from the intelligence agencies is rather disgusting i think it's very disappointing but we see this time and time again with other whistleblowers across the planet is that people lured them and then they call them traitors and sometimes actually we do need the alternative voices in our mainstream media in our online media and in academia so that young minds can be exposed to competing ideas so that they can learn how to debate and how to make their own moral judgments and that's what's been denied this student at harvard any mashad think you so much for sharing your insight and expertise with us former m i five officer anima schoen. and a new study out this week suggest that michigan's lead contaminated water crisis had a significant impact on fertility and fetal death rates in the city flint switched
5:20 pm
its water source from detroit to flint river back in twenty four. teen residents started complaining of quality and then began testing positive for lead poisoning artie's simone del rosario speaks to a lead researcher of the study on how this crisis has affected the most vulnerable residents of that community higher quantities of lead in flint michigan drinking water lead to lower for tillage he rates and higher infant death rates according to a study by two economists and their findings show that since flint switched its water source in twenty fourteen the city's fertility rates decreased by twelve percent while infant death rates shot up fifty eight percent and the overall health of children at birth also deteriorated joining me is the co-author of the study assistant professor of economics dino grossman from west virginia university professor michigan health department and human services it concluded in a draft report in twenty fifteen that there is no evidence that the water switch had caused higher fetal death rates or other negative birth outcomes your study
5:21 pm
obviously contradicts this when did you and professor david start looking into this and why. well we started looking into this probably close to a year and a half ago we started applying for the data that we end up using in the study and it was something that we had we had read about in the in the press and we were interested about whether this change in water source in this sort of contamination in the water had led to worst birth outcomes and were decreases in fertility rates because some previous literature had suggested this might be something that occurs with higher rates of lead in the water and that's exactly what your study did in fact find flint already had a high rate of infant mortality compared to the rest of the state how did you isolate and determine that this lead crisis contributed to this fifty eight percent jump that your statistics show. just to be clear we're actually calculating is the
5:22 pm
fetal death rate these are these are. these are deaths before birth so the. after twenty weeks in just station and deaths that occurred in a hospital so it's not going to capture the full rate of fetal deaths but this is data that we were provided by the state as well basically the fetal death registry data so we use this data and we compare flint both before the water change and after the water changed to other cities in michigan before and after the water change and what we find is that fetal death rates increased in flint following the water change but really we see no change at all in the rest of other parts of michigan. now when it comes to decreasing fertility rates and twelve percent decrease in your study are we talking about miscarriages are we talking about issues with fertility and are there other variables that you considered when looking at this. yeah i mean you know the effect that we find as we find
5:23 pm
a twelve percent decrease in fertility rates as you mentioned and you know some of the things we did in this paper to try to tease out whether or not this change in fertility rates is caused by. the lead itself in the water or some other factor is we try to look at you know fetal death rates itself which suggests which the increase in fetal death rates suggests that. the lead plays a role in these in this decrease in fertility rates but i should point out that that doesn't really account for that one only account for a very small percentage of the change in. fertility rates that we find we hypothesize that perhaps there is an increase in miscarriages over the same time period. or that potentially women are not as likely to conceive over this time period because of lead in the water but these are not things that we can actually test for in the using the data that we have one thing we try to look at is whether or not we see evidence of changes in sexual behavior over this time period which we don't seem to see ok and studies it just as if that you're getting there from the
5:24 pm
state there from the department. health and human services so do you imagine that the state is going to catch up to your findings and come to the same conclusion. you know based on the numbers that we have we would we would we would expect that to happen yes but what are the long term impacts of your findings when it comes to a city like flint that's already you know dealt with some of the major repercussions of this water switch. so you know there's a few things that we find in the study one is that we find that there's several hundred fewer children then we would have expected to have been born over this time period that could lead to major changes in terms of funding from the state for education. and there's also the potential that. women who were pregnant during this time period and exposed to the change in the water source may have their children may have worse health outcomes later on in life these are things that we
5:25 pm
can't really. you know we are things that we should be worried about going forward but we can't really quantify at this time and i imagine that's something that you're going to continue to follow up with assistant professor of economics daniel grossman at west virginia university thank you so much for your time. in mexico the story captivating viewers worldwide about tireless rescuer workers trying to free a twelve year old girl trapped under the ruins of a school turned out to be just that a story after two days of coverage the navy assistant secretary of broccoli announced that all of the school children were actually accounted for saying quote we want to emphasize that we have no knowledge about that report that emerged with the name of a girl we are sure it was a reality this comes after mexican authorities raised the death toll from the earthquake up to two hundred eighty six with more than half of all casualties occurring in the nation's capital. while residents in houston need rebuilding after
5:26 pm
harvey the pentagon sent the air force reserve to assist in recovery efforts but as our suite explains this wasn't the type of help most residents had in mind and some reports indicate it may actually do more harm than good in receiving government assistance with relief efforts things like rebuilding neighborhoods and help with the flooding control come to mind but spraying controversial chemicals through six million acres to help with insect control is what the pentagon sent harvey's way and while many would embrace any type of help at this point the chemical knowledge manufactured and sold by a strategic partner of months on to is actually banned in the european union to the an acceptable risk it presents to human health well this is certainly a concern for those with a weakened immune system and a pregnant woman a study out of oslo revealed that a component of knowledge cause a fifteen percent decrease in the brain size of newport in guinea pigs doctors in puerto rico have also claimed the chemical harms fetuses the u.s.

carolina last year alone from the chemical according to the government website the e.p.a. is currently reevaluating the chemicals risk assessments and the meantime the government agency maintains the exposure to the chemical is not harmful due to the low amounts one. treatments and transferring patients due to an ongoing shortage of a critical drug cording to the federal drug administration the supply of sodium bicarbonate solution has been dwindling at u.s. hospitals since march ironically sodium bicarbonate spacing greedy and baking soda
5:29 pm
is found in most kitchen cabinet however in the medical world sodium bicarbonate injections are found on emergency carts and in operating rooms used in open heart surgery for some cancer treatments to reverse organ failure and other elective procedures according to the new york times the problem with the shortage began when pfizer announced its supply was running out in february forcing its competitor amphora star to see a spike in demand and consequently deplete its supplies as well the country's only two suppliers of a life saving medication ran out without an abundant supply of sodium bicarbonate some hospitals are reportedly making difficult decisions about which patients merit the drug according to the times hundreds of generic injectable drugs made from inexpensive ingredients have run short in recent years creating frustration and medical risks in hospitals the f.d.a.

5:31 pm
teams you know landfall or area no wholesale surveillance you feel you have already and while there's going to police sizes then trump has used the social media site while i always thought the story goes it's garbage in real simple. so. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to express injury. or some want to be pushed. to the right to be first that's what the. report you get. interested always at the water's edge. and there should.
5:32 pm
i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories in our critics can't tell you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you would have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical victuals people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all. that involves risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working.
5:33 pm
welcome to race in america we'll start with a story out of oklahoma city where police officers fatally shot a deaf man who was also mentally disabled on tuesday night officers were responding to a hit and run call in spotted a vehicle matching the description they then saw a man identified as thirty five year old mack d.l. sanchez holding a metal pipe near the spotted vehicle the officers were giving sanchez commands at the same time witnesses were yelling he can't hear you when sanchez was inching closer to the officers one officer shot sanchez with a taser and the other shot sanchez with a gun sanchez was pronounced dead at the scene here's an account from one of the witnesses regarding the officers commands and the aftermath. but it's hands out which you know but i i. so they my daughter were actually spring you know and i'm not you know that he was there that he didn't hear anything and they proceeded on
5:34 pm
to the. police captain beau matthews said sanchez didn't obey the officers commands and they didn't hear the witnesses. verbal commands were being given to this individual to drop the weapon and get on the ground now this was supported by evidence from witnesses that we knew that this these commands were given. the witnesses also gay people were yelling that this person mr sanchez was deaf and could not hear he also didn't know this at the time so as mr sanchez came off the porch he started dancing to the second officer who was there this is going to be officer are actually a sergeant christopher bards. sergeant brodhead his weapon drawn and lieutenant lindsay had to have a taser drop as he started going towards these officers with a pipe in his hands a serious discharging a weapon. a neighbor says sanchez carried
5:35 pm
a pole with him as protection from stray dogs and wasn't a threat to the officers the oklahoma city police department has launched an investigation into the shooting the officer who fired his gun has been placed on administrative leave joining me now to discuss this further is ronald hampton retired d.c. metro police officer thank you so much for joining us today ronnell thank you now i want to start with what went wrong here according to witnesses the officers a shot a taser and shot a gun simultaneously well why what went wrong was that the police didn't know anything about this community and this gentleman who lived in the community and you're right there's something wrong with the policy that was followed because if you're going to use the taser you shouldn't use the tejan not use a taser and the gun that the whole purpose to have in the taser is to use less than their live force alone in the videos when you're not show and also that we pan has shifted to the con the things that the neighbors were talking about because that
5:36 pm
was valuable information and their systems out there also that will give you to come the information that the system available cost smart now why. where residents can put information into a system and then when a call goes out for a particular resident the information will stay there's a gentleman that lives there who is there or this senior citizens who live there if you can't get in down this number and evidently the oklahoma city police department is behind time on this kind of valuable information about who lived in their community. i'm not sure this may even be the same police department that the woman worked for that shot the gentleman when she asked him to put his hands up so you know they're beginning to develop a reputation of being in the police department that's really our church when it comes to working with people of color and around issues of race related to african-american and latino men and like you were saying earlier it sounds like the
5:37 pm
officers weren't only not listening to each other to commensurate child there or and clearly they weren't listening to the witnesses as well now the police chief he said this fatal shooting of the stuff man sanchez it's raised a lot of concerns about the way these officers are trained to interact with special needs i mean our departments not training their police officers to be able to deal with people like sanchez well there is some special last train that i think police departments availed themselves of and then there are a few police departments in this country who do go along for a day in and really the down deep into identifying officers on response to special situations like this i'm not necessarily in favor of that i have a son who's thirty three he's a person with autism he's six feet he weighs two hundred twenty pounds so he's a big guy and most police officers are trained to when my son has an episode that's to pool their gun because they can't distinguish the difference in terms of the him
5:38 pm
waving his hands so i think what we ought to do or be looking at is special professional people who handle people with mental illness were. isn't without the mental diseases to respond to the scene and police can stay on the periphery if there's a need for public safety officers but public public safety people shouldn't be responding to calls when their mental health issues are gone or because as we've seen is it has always been that up in the vigil of death and that's just as another example of this and somewhat agree with you that it's better for the people who are specialized in dealing with people with special needs like in the case of sanchez who is deaf and mentally disabled to intervene and let the like you're saying the officers say on the the premises just something radical or does anyone in the police department sign i mean is there a death unit did that worked with people who are deaf i mean a modern pollution problems i know i don't know how modern i would say our police department is in a just or columbus but least we have
5:39 pm
a death layers on when this situation dealing with people who came here they said that lives on unit out to deal with it and talk with them because they some of those things are very important when you we have those people in our communities and they're entitle to the very best service possible and all the way you can do that is to have people who work in that area to be rich be really involved in responding to call for service in iran out of we have about a minute left neither one of the officers in the report were wearing body cameras now the department said that they were going there homicide unit will be investigating that's how are they could be able to do that properly when i don't know you know cameras a new they're going to be. investigating interviewing witnesses they're going to be talking with people who witness what was going on and then talking to police officers if the past is in the predict the future then the police officers and are going to be found guilty of doing anything other than just doing their job and then
5:40 pm

5:55 pm
dot com forward slash m r t america check out our website partied out called clash america and you can also follow me on twitter. remember to question more have a great weekend. because we have no congressional term limits in the u.s. we have a lot of members who have been there for decades and now a lot of those people who have been there for so long get no in fact the one hundred fifteen congress is among our oldest ever according to koran the average
5:56 pm
american is twenty years younger than their representative in congress and over the past thirty years the average age of a congressperson has continued to increase especially as we keep electing the same people in one thousand nine hundred one the average member of the house of representatives was forty nine years old and a senator was fifty three now the average has gone up by eight years for each the house averages an age of fifty seven in the senate sixty one now that doesn't sound too old that sounds like the age of people in the prime of their political prowess they've lived long enough to learn some stuff which is a good thing in a lot of ways i think but when you die a little deeper you just start to realize how old is congress. more than half of the senators up for reelection next year will be over the age of sixty five that's the age when people used to retire and now a bunch of the people running our country will be over it dianne feinstein from california is eighty four nancy pelosi is seventy seven bernie sanders is that a nice thing. orrin hatch is eighty three bill now than is seventy four john
5:57 pm
conyers is eighty eight donald young is eighty four them johnson is eighty six in fact twelve members of congress are in their eighty's fifty seven of them are in their seventy's and one hundred forty four of them are in their sixty's and a full one third of representatives who are over sixty years old represent districts with a median age of thirty five or less this might be why president trump wanted to propose a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of congress under his contract with the american voter proposal but proposals for congressional term limits have all failed in the past which is no surprise because who's going to vote for a law that limits their own powers and job prospects right so i doubt president will be able to pass congressional term limits to more and more of our congress people are getting into their eighty's which god bless and i sincerely do believe in respecting our elders but the bottom line is our laws might not impose term limits
5:58 pm
but our bodies do so we're going to start seeing a different congress soon in the next decade or so and congress will change right along with the rest of the times today. would you have for us is just why would you put. up this he's your wife. what's your biggest fear i have a bit on the right lisa let's talk a little bit bored you see a few of the things that the order but. it's one topic those are below. now i do do do do to the word more.

our culture is awash in lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that merge fiction until they are indistinguishable we have become the most deluded society on politics as a species of endless and needless political theater politicians more than just celebrity are two ruling parties are in reality one party corporate and those who attempt to puncture the. restless universe of the design to push through the t.v. and exploitation of the little or are pushed so far to the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has sold it sold for corporate money that we might as well be mice squeaking against an avalanche but squeak we must.

i'm going to do just that if you're watching all of your. readings and salutations back in the eighteen hundreds most popular and sought after beauty products were laced with toxic substances like arsenic and the mercury which along with making their skin pale gave women this translucent look also gave them kidney and neurological damage fast forward to today and the products considered a luxury are the most organic nontoxic and also the most expensive while the mass produced products accessible to poor and middle class women are laced with cancer causing brain damaging and hormone trashing substances so.
