alcool forward and that is the. these are stories that no one else might have to post of america. west. of the news tonight the president takes center stage with senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and says the administration and the g.o.p. are on the same page and wildfires continue to devastate california at least forty one people are dead and over two hundred people are missing and iraqi government forces retake her cut from the kurds sparking fears of a civil war in the country i'm ed schultz reporting tonight from washington d.c. this is the news on r.t. america. good evening friends we start tonight with the president's agenda president trump

made a lot of news today and it was time to mend fences in the republican party as the president and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell gathered for a lunch and a press conference there after if there was ever a cross word between trump and mcconnell there was no evidence today trump the businessman was looking for a deal we probably doubt despite what we read we're probably now i think as lisa's far as i'm concerned closer than ever before and the relationship is very good we are together totally on this agenda to move america forward and both defended the calendar and scheduled to get things done on taxes and health care if you look at obama first of all you look at clinton they were able to get it done you look at other admission they were unable to get it done. president obama after a long period of time was able to finally push it through but push through something that's now failed really failing badly but again we're meeting democrat

republican are meeting right now and right now they're working on something very special but i have to tell you i really believe that we have a very good chance that i think mitch feels the same way of getting the test of getting the taxes done. hopefully fairly long before the end of the year that's what we'd like to see it go ahead. let me just add what the president said the goal is to get it done discounter year but it is important to remember that obama signed obamacare in march of year two trump said he was proud of his executive order on health care cutting subsidies to millions of americans and in almost a stunning revelation trump says he'll target the drug companies to lower costs you have prescription drugs you go to england you go to various places canada you going to many many countries and the same exact pill from the same company the same box same everything is a tiny fraction of what it costs in that says we are going to get drug prices

prescription drug prices way down because the world has taken advantage of us their world has taken advantage of us president trump and senator mcconnell then shifted the focus on to one of the main achievements a sense an auger ation appointing neil gorsuch to the supreme court both referred to the democrats' obstructionist tactics when it comes to appointing federal circuit judges for more on this we go to our political panel the saving ted harvey from the committee to defend the president is where this and also rob affected post contributor and radio talk show host gentleman i didn't realize that mitch mcconnell and the president were such good buddies i guess that's really good news as we start things off but the news i think is that you know ted you've now got president trump working out of the bernie sanders playbook he's going to go after the drug companies to lower prices were dead come from. well i think the key thing

that he said is that the rest of the world is taking advantage of the united states consumers and that is true we are subsidizing their socialist health care over there there's not a single drug maker in all of canada but yet they have cheaper drugs than we do because our prices for our drugs are inflated so that we can then subsidize their drugs in canada and in europe but no i don't think i'm going to get president after ted ted no republican president has ever talked like this or ever thought that the drug companies were a problem in health care what about that well i think the drug problem the drug companies are the problem because they are allowing the american taxpayers to subsidize these socialist countries and their socialist health care programs so if we can require them to actually force the european countries and canada to pay what the actual market value is then that's going to help our consumers here in the united states rob do you think that maybe nancy pelosi or chuck schumer are on the

phone the say after the call you the president say did you really say that because it would seem to me that would be a starting point for a new health care deal what do you think. i think trump is all sizzle and no steak and he says things he may have had this friendly lunch with mitch mcconnell the scepter noone but some are more he's probably going to have a new name for him on twitter and he's going to be breaking him i really am stuck by his assaults on big pharma because i happen to be somewhat knowledgeable even though i'm not an expert on this and you know he should be talking about what's wrong with obamacare right i have obamacare and i'm paying for pediatric dental care and i'm sixty one year old single man so why are we talking about basic reforms within the existing structure he's going outside of here and he wants to start regulating big pharma i mean you're talking about you know there's no plan there's nothing in place trump doesn't even seem to have taken

a basic eighth grade civics class to understand the function and process of government well he does understand this and that is his senate majority leader better get it done i mean ted i kind of got the feeling watching this today that mcconnell was put on notice but if you don't get i'm not i'm here with the i'm helping you out imo support you want to present a you've got to get it done what were you see on notice what did you think well i think that i feel sorry for mcconnell actually when you have the john mccains of the world that is holding up any effort on obamacare and and the president and mcconnell both want to have tax reform and we don't be we don't seem to be able to move forward with any tax reform coming out of a g.o.p. controlled congress can to get done by the end of the air president and i'm going to get done by the end of the iron equally yes will it i don't believe anything will come out of this current congress because i think john mccain and the rest of the moderates and senate are holding everything up a rob job the president loves to wade into the controversy with the national

football league he did it again today here it is. when you go down and take an easy or any other way you're sitting essentially for our great national anthem you're disrespecting our flag and you're disrespecting our country and the n.f.l. should have suspended some of these players for one game not fire suspended him for one game and then if they did it again it could have been two games in three games and then for the season rob who's winning this tug of war with the fans what do you bank. i think that trump is being incredibly divisive here and people see both sides of him because first of all as a jew i'm just not going to tolerate him talking about it being ok that there are some good people marching with neo nazis on the street but a football player at a protest can take a knee if we're going to give freedoms to people in this country who are preaching

hate and violence then we can give freedoms to football players but i will say this i think that players in the n.f.l. column copper nick in particular have done a really bad job of explaining it vocalizing and getting their message across well he's allowed to agree with it and simply are about he filed a grievance against the n.f.l. today ted you get the last word on this. well i think that there is they called for a war going on right now amongst the left who wants to say that america is not exceptional that it's no different than the rest of the world and then there's the american people who are patriotic and love their country and are sick and tired of the in the entertainment class disrespecting our flag and disrespecting america and they're having their voice heard and you look at what's happening to the n.f.l. ratings right now they're plummeting they're down seven percent attendance off eighteen percent ted harvey rob tub gentlemen thank you so much thank you ed the president took time today to comment on health care president trump was vague about any short term action but repeated his desire to see rates come down we want to get

it down so that people can have affordable health care look you look at some states one hundred sixteen percent up in alaska over two hundred percent up in other states fifty percent seventy percent up and those are some of the states that are doing better obamacare is a wreck it's a mess it's destroying lives we want to get it if those states the states that i did so well in but also in states that i didn't win i want to get health care that's much more affordable and much better health care and that's what we're doing for more on of us we go to former congressman from florida alan grayson allen nice to have you on with us tonight there is no official repeal on the table right now so it just seems to me like the president's weighing in it what's your pulse on this right now now that he has done this executive order on the affordable care act . it's typical home he's taking credit for something he hasn't done and never will do this is what we're going to see all through the troubled ministration fake

accomplishments how should the democrats in gauge is this an opening for them or do they play coy. was the situation is exactly where that you describe it there's no repeal that's imminent there may be more action if we see some substitution in the senate if they get more seats the scent of that you might see some action. again by the republicans but right now what he's done is destructive enough he's taken eight billion dollars a year away from poor people who are sick and as a result of that some of them are not going to get the care they need to stay healthy and alive that's what this really comes down to he is systematically undermining health care for poor sick people did he try to lure the democrats in today by talking about going after the drug companies and the gal geeing of the american consumer versus the same drugs being sold much cheaper in other countries what's the play on that it's naive it's shallow it's superficial it's almost

nonsensical yes drug companies charge a lot of money the reason for that is they have legal monopolies the reason why they have legal monopolies is because under the constitution we encourage innovation and copyrights and trademarks and patents and so on and asking a drug company to charge less than they can charge is expected to do something simply aren't set up to do this is capitalism these companies maximize their profits that's what we expect them to do and as for why they charge more in the united states they charge elsewhere it's because we have a lot of money and they can get away with it they charge whatever the market can bear if you want to change that system that's fine but you can't change it just by talking about whining about it of course we better of the drug companies charge less it also would be go to the drug companies cured cancer one is about as likely as another right now what is the best play for the democrats the president said today that obamacare is dead that they're working on

a plan what should schumer and nancy pelosi do with their caucus right now worship their focus be what they should do is insist on actual votes on the things that he says he supports that's what they should do and if you go back and look even recently there was a vote in the past twelve months in the senate on drug reimportation being able to buy your drug. from australia or from canada or somewhere else where they're cheaper and every republican voted against every single one so let's see what happens when we put that up to another vote and people can see trump can't pull his own team across the finish line former congressman alan grayson allen thanks so much for joining us tonight good to have you with the president took a couple of shots at hillary clinton today she's been out and about on the talking heads of the weekend so the president fired back he said the entire russia collusion scandal was ginned up to cover for clinton and the democrats lost in two thousand and sixteen look the whole russian thing was an excuse me i feel whole

russia thing was an excuse for the democrats losing the election and it turns out to be just one excuse me today hillary blamed nigel for that one came out of nowhere so that was just an excuse for the democrats losing an election that frankly they have a big advantage in the electoral college they should always be able to win in the electoral college but they were unable to do it so there has been absolutely no collusion it's been stated that they have no collusion they want to get to the end of it because i think the american public is sick of it go ahead. it has taken a leaven thousand firefighters over a week to start to bring california's wildfires under some sort of control thus far wildfires have destroyed over two hundred seventeen thousand acres and destroyed over fifty seven hundred buildings thousands are homeless and at least forty one people have died in over two hundred americans are missing survivors returning to

their homes or finding only rubble and ashes california governor jerry brown has called the fires one of the greatest tragedies ever in the state about sixty percent of the fires have been contained and much into subpoenaed rain could help later this week. iraqi government forces are clashing with the kurds and kirk uk less than a month following in. independence referendum the statement from the iraqi military says that they have captured key installations this come shortly after kurdish fighters helped us and iraqi forces defeat isis in the region manila jan has been following the story and joins us tonight this is really complicated in a mixed bag and you took the words right out of my mouth complicated is the the lightest way we can put that key installations first of all is right overnight kurdish peshmerga forces reportedly withdrew from kirk cook and the broader area referred to as the kurdistan region where iraqi forces seized control of the k one

military base the baba guards were all oil and gas fields and other important offices and buildings there the peshmerga have played an integral role in pushing isis out of the area with u.s. backing however today president trump said they u.s. would not be taking sides in this civil in-fighting we don't like the fact that we're not taking sides but we don't like the fact that. we let me do it we've had for many years very good relationship with the kurds as you know and we've also been on the side of iraq even though we should have never been in the first place we should never have been there but we're not taking sides in that battle but former pentagon official michael maloof says if the u.s. intends to keep stability in the region there is a default side to be taken they are taking sides in to the to the point of trying to keep the government whole to keep the country whole they are some they are not going to actively commit any army nov in either side for that

for this purpose even though both of them have u.s. arms they both and they both sides have been u.s. trained so they're going to be going at it in fact iraq went in to the kurdish controlled area with u.s. equipment so it's and they have tons of equipment so it's i think what the. u.s. role isn't mediating both sides so that they can work out some temporary joint autonomy and try to lessen the tensions generally and the government in baghdad is also speaking up on the issue citing that both sides are working towards some sort of agreement. we're moving closer to an agreement is the arrangements achieved over the last two days are being fulfilled however if any of the sides take measures at the odds with the deal there will be consequences we support the presence of the army and the control over certain facilities but any action or resistance might lead to a confrontation which in turn will seriously affect safety and stability. so at

this of course is the official story coming from iraq there is yet to be any statement from the kurdish leaders such as must soon barzani on or the like on this topic though we can expect the kurdish peshmerga perspective on these latest actions in the last day or so to sound awfully different than what's coming out of baghdad at this all is on the heels of that referendum vote that the iraqi government doesn't want to recognize so we could go from a civil war in syria to a civil war in iraq i mean and the president doesn't want to get involved and create another vacuum all right thank you manila the united states will remain a party to the iranian nuclear deal despite the president's repeated statements to the contrary u.n. ambassador nikki haley and secretary of state rex tillerson assured reporters the united states is not pulling out of the deal haley has been an opponent of the deal in the past on friday the president demanded a series of adjustments to the deal if the united states were to remain for more on

this we turn to. will for war the future of the iranian deal we turn now to former diplomat jim jatra skim. more confusion sorted out for how can i sorted out what in fact is indeed confused the president's denounced the deal i think by decertifying he's thrown the the dead cat on the lap of congress we'll have to see what they do over the next sixty days i don't think we know more than that we've got a credibility problem developing now we do i think we do with regard to the iranian deal i think we were with regard to to kurdistan in iraq as opposed to maloof said the default mode should be to preserve iraq's territorial integrity by saying we're not taking sides that's kind of tilting toward the kurds and i think we need to keep in mind that there is a connection here with iran with all this denunciation of iran let's keep in mind the government in baghdad baghdad ever since our genius move over overthrowing saddam hussein is a very pro iranian shiite government and that's got to figure in their calculations

some. how could the united states not anticipate this happening where's the leadership i mean i think were void this country is void of leadership right now not to be able to quote fly ahead of the aircraft and see what plan b. might be i think it's not a question of anticipating but that there's some chickens coming home to roost here the consequences of mistakes made in the past not only overthrowing saddam hussein but it getting involved in the syrian civil war using the kurds as kind of like our fair haired boy not only in iraq but in syria against isis is starting to then have secondary reverberations you can see him coming a mile off doesn't mean you know don't know what to do do it about the necessarily all right let's turn to north korea kim jong un says no diplomacy what does that mean i think that's kind of the flip side of what secretary taylor said said that the talking will continue until the first bombs drop that doesn't sound very good.

it doesn't sound good and kim john i guess you could possibly come up with the interpretation bring it on. that's one way to look at it do you know there's a report today we've got an exercise going on with the south koreans and supposed one of those ships we have a special forces assassination squad decapitation squad that's prepared to kill kim jong un kill him it sounds like both sides are playing chicken how far they can push this to the edge rhetorical and i think in terms of military preparation not i don't see where the compromise is going to ok so you go in assassinate kim jong un how does our intelligence know for sure what the loyalty of the generals are going to be that they would start shoot that i mean head without which is what they don't that's the thing is that there's almost nothing we can do from a military point of view even if it's met by the way well i don't know if you've seen this story recently about supposedly and electromagnetic pulse attack by north

korea you could wipe out ninety percent of the american population which is to me sounds ludicrous but the only solution to that it is said is a preemptive nuclear strike and i don't know what kind of thing people are thinking here and i'm ok jim jeffords always a pleasure thanks for joining us the judge and senator bob menendez corruption trial will not throw out any of the charges u.s. district judge william walz made the ruling after a supreme court ruling narrowing down the legal definition of bribery federal prosecutors have raised the decision praise the decision providing more leeway to bring bribery allegations to trial the new jersey democrat is accused of accepting free flights and luxury hotel stays from a wealthy florida donor who has already been convicted of medicare fraud. u.s. army sergeant bowe bergdahl pleaded guilty to desertion today at the fort bragg board before an army judge bergdahl as lawyers said his client could not have

everyone all options are open now there are various scenarios of course being played out on the one hand you could have a coalition between the people's party and the social democrats this does seem highly unlikely because this has been true to the campaign in the wall street history and this is largely because these two large parties have been able charges of espionage and racial confinement against the supposed then the freedom party to form a coalition with sébastien what it would mean exactly would have a white government how this would be a huge blow to the european union it would also be a strong vote against the book on it takes but it said he would be prompt monster of the claims you see happening in europe where more and more voters are posed by. i. believe that the same need to be.

well yes this is that. the now many european leaders have of course a way to congratulate could he will become a us youngest and lead to and i think talking to people here on the street there is a state that he thinks in the south were predicted they certainly match the poles might think they can hide it so well it's always the same. but nothing of a problem with the refugees of course and best of the main reason for the growing right here in the lot problems the problems with immigration this. service or if the cheese and the new paper frayed the debate about the rift you used to waltz very in was over percentage in that action campaign. because it's it's some thousands of people and i would say maybe

half of talk in that single pane whilst was about the right to things so. yeah but definitely it was something where the right wing politics came to look at the game. and that is our news tonight follow me on twitter or news where they had like me on the facebook page we got it dot com you could watch r t america on direct t.v. channel three twenty one i met reporting from washington thanks for watching record morning. mark twain said it's easier to homeschool people than to convince them they've been fooled that could be why america is so divided. because people have been fed fake news paid for by corporate interests they beat you down until you believe their

fairy tales well here's a story for you it's called big and it's full of bad fiction. i've got to just look at your watch it's hard to see both.

there's a real irony going. on there it's always well that's what it was it always. seems you. know wholesale surveillance you feel you have all meanwhile as you mentioned we saw this in the past and trump has used the social media always on my life story because it's garbage in real. oh.

hey there i'm lindsey francis is the boss broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. coming up oil prices are shaky and domestic conflicts are right among opec nations we take a look at the status of the cuts they agreed upon to boost prices per barrel and the big banks have turned away from block chain technology for quite some time but they could be changing we explore that and it's been three decades since the infamous black monday stock market meltdown could we have another super crunch will discuss how markets have more since one thousand nine hundred seventy with my guest former u.s. attorney commissioner bart chilton stand by to bust started right now. boiled

production by the organization of petroleum exporting countries member states and affiliate nations increased again in september it's had a level that's beyond the limit the group had agreed on in order to push up prices since november of last year the cartel has tried to keep production within thirty two point five million barrels per day well it rose to around eighty eight thousand last month to thirty two point seven five barrels per day on average now libya nigeria and iraq output junked as all face massive to mess. it conflicts by venezuela's production dropped as its financial crisis unfolds their oil has strengthened in recent weeks with brant crude hitting fifty nine dollars late last

month dropping to around fifty seven and slowly recovering now to around fifty eight in the meantime b.p. midstream is pushing forward with an initial public offering it's a unit of b.p.'s u.s. pipeline unit it expects to sell forty two point five million shares and then raise up to eight hundred ninety three million dollars in its i.p.o. on the new york stock exchange under the symbol b.p. m.p. according to a filing with the u.s. securities and exchange commission shares are slated for a suggested price range of nineteen dollars to twenty one dollars each. and according to the u.k.'s office for national statistics bluebook and britain's surplus of four hundred sixty nine billion pounds has slid down to a net deficit of twenty two billion pounds investment in the u.k. in the first half of two thousand and sixteen fell from one hundred twenty billion pounds surplus to twenty five billion pound deficit over the same period this year

but all puts the u.k. in a very weak position and that separation talks from the european union on monday u.k. prime minister theresa may met with the leaders as the block is set to decide if there is any point to reviving the latest round of deadlock divorce negotiations leaders of the e.u. is twenty seven member states demand that first a financial settlement between eighty eight million billion dollars and one hundred twenty billion dollars be paid to resolve outstanding commitments that britain has with the e.u. also the rights of e.u. citizens on the status of the border between ireland and northern ireland must be closed out before talk of trade and security can move forward. aggressive demands by the us have chain. the town of north american free trade agreement talks making a possible end to the deal more of a reality even ever some say american negotiators are purposefully sabotaging the

longstanding agreement between canada mexico and the u.s. but others say it fits perfectly with president trump style of quote unquote negotiating parties on some highlights joins us with more from toronto alex u.s. negotiators have dropped some bombs and have to talks you and i both now which in the best case scenario will drag the process out further what's the latest most of the fourth round of negotiations and what the u.s. says done is brought out a plate of things that are palatable to canada and mexico so here's a short list of some of the ideas the u.s. has been throwed out some that nafta demands first of all the sunset clause and sunset clause could end after five years the other countries don't really like that idea but the u.s. say we need this bill to the nafta two point zero agreement second is that in foresman mechanism of this the big one for canada it's really sort of stood behind this idea it's chapter nineteen of nafta that's really were most of the information

is on this basically it provides an alternative to judicial review by domestic courts and what it does is it creates an independent by national panel to resolve cases such as dumping or duty cases stuff like that so this panel has been something canada has been very very passionate about and really wants to see and remain within now if we do more move forward with nafta then number three is just a different industry such as dairy and textiles and automobile parts automobiles parts of something we've talked about over and over again it's this buy america thing from donald trump you want space of the sea fifty percent of all parts in cars built in north america come from the u.s. that would completely just screw up the whole supply chain that we have from mexico to canada to the u.s. parts cross the borders every single day and. that's the way we build cars as it stands and the industry has been up in arms over this idea and in the states as well so a lot of american businesses are saying that this is just not

a good thing and that donald trump has to step back now ask for donald trump i mean this isn't the first time we've seen him do this with any type of agreements let's say we know with the rand deal we know what he was talking about when it comes to health care we know that with the whole building the wall and with immigrants in the states it seems to be the policy of let's destroy things and then rebuild from here and this is an idea that many people are saying that trump might be looking in to put putting in that clause which would shut down nafta given about six months left of life but someplace in there he want to renegotiate a new nafta mexico has said no way if he says no to nafta we are not renegotiating within that six month period so bottom line is right now the whole idea that before christmas that we could have a new nafta agreement well that looks like it's right out the window and when it comes to canada well canada is kind of sitting back and thinking we have a lot of bilateral agreements with nafta goes well we're not really thrown out the

window so if this happens some are saying canada's ready to throw mexico right under that bus well they're obvious an option in the u.s. congress leaving out but it seems the press might be interested what's going on across the pond. plan b. for the brits that everything falls apart the way it's working they're looking at nab now this is actually come from the from the telegraph the london telegraph which is close to the conservative party they're saying these talks are actually really happening that's what a lot of of the politicians there are saying that nafta looks like it might be a good way for the brits to go but if there is no nafta what could the brits do so there's all this speculation up in the air why not join canada tighter agreement with canada to the point where the brits would almost become canadian and then they could join. we would see it as a comfort of economic trade and. with the kid of the house with europe which is a side agreement the brits could leave brags that and kind of loop around the back door if they wanted to that would be

a little bit ridiculous but there's all kinds of ideas out there right now almost canadian i wish many people have around the world thank you very much for your input on this alex and heilman to toronto thank you sales of i information medication rest states this earned drug manufacturer allergy at one point four billion dollars last year recently eyebrows were raised when it transferred the patent to st regis mohawk tribe in upstate new york and took advantage of an american tribal sovereignty law to protect its patent and prevent generic makers of the restasis drug from getting approved for sale while now a texas district court judge has ruled against allegations actions in trying to extend its patent stating it's not entitled to renewed patent rights might happen tonio the host of america's lawyer joined me earlier to explain the sovereignty issue. well here's what happens drug companies get to hold the patent for ten years before they lose their monopoly and then cheaper generic versions and get to enter

the market they tell us most of the time that they need those ten years to recoup the costs of research and development that's a total lie most drug makers make all their money back within about two years seventy five percent of the costs are actually just marketing because the big pharma wants this pay they want to charge these ridiculous amounts of money for prescriptions and they want to say well gee whiz this is all about research and development it's not it's about marketing it's about the idea in two years they've got all their money back and most people don't understand government pays for most of the research drug companies spend close to seven billion dollars a year on stock buyouts to make their shareholders even wealthier and they do that lindsay during a time when the federal government this is this is where i really ought to make angry federal government funds close to fifty percent of all the research and development that a company like aladin has to pay and was talk about this patent troll issue with

our going claims what do you think of the generic makers moving in on name brand name brand territory and having sometimes a shorter f.d.a. approval period or government approval period for this patent allegan says it's a troll issue they say it's a this this deal is a sophisticated opportunity to strengthen the defensive as our of our first state this intellectual property what do you think of this argument yeah yeah well look this is nonsense allard again is scamming the system again it's just the latest in a long line of schemes hatched by drug companies in order to prevent generic drugs from entering the market in the past they've tried things like tweaking their formula a little bit in order to claim a new patent but this move giving the path to a group with sovereign immunity is a whole new level of disgusting let's not forget this is what you have to understand trends follow. companies let's not forget that allegan has a history of manipulation earlier this year the company settled the whistleblower

lawsuit for thirteen million dollars after doctors came forward and clearly showed that the company was actually involved in kickbacks to doctors for prescribing their medication the drug that they're now trying to hand over to native tribes to protected their. look i got to tell you some of had thirty five years going to war with companies like allergy and these are the folks that park their money offshore so they don't have to pay taxes they get the government to pay for the research and development they have all types of scams where they run they go to universities they have to have professors write phoneys up literature form look this is a drug company lindsey that pulls in about one point five billion dollars a year and they're going to give the native group that they're talking about about fifteen million percent yep is long is long as they don't lose the patent right well you know people i talk to. in tribal law say that this is a classic case of what is commonly referred to as rent a tribe you go you find

a sovereign tribe and you basically pay them to hold on to your business for you and it could actually put into danger tribal sovereignty if this is a controlled within the tribe and now we've got lawmakers saying we want to close this loophole how dangerous is this for tribal sovereignty in our country. well it's a terror it's terrible look drug companies understand for example the financial problems that plague native tribes all over the country so they're using that to manipulate those tribes native americans have been nearly completely left out of any kind of economic recovery in the last few years so this company's taken advantage of that their native tribes you have an employment levels nearly double that of the overall population they have a higher higher poverty rate they lag behind in education more than one in four native people live in total poverty their labor force participation is about somewhere i think around sixty percent the lowest of all race and race groups nearly eighty percent of native americans have no access to clean water or basic

sanitation so here that's where al again says oh wow we have an area of total despair let us now take advantage of the area of total despair lynsey it's the same thing that we see these companies doing with opioids let's go to parts of the country where there's total despair where they have nothing to gain and so the opiate industry is in there for that reason this company is in there simply because they can take advantage of all the misfortune that these tribes are facing and you're right it does create a problem to where the next to lose. their sovereignty to say we're an entity our reservation is an entity that doesn't have to play by all the federal rules because we have our own tribal law that is it risk this company doesn't care about that all they care about is making more money that's the ugly part of a story like this this company has a history of that and they'll continue that history until somebody really slaps

them down somebody has got to slap this company down for what they're doing here well they must claim it's not diversifying their income as you pointed out at between fourteen to fifteen million dollars a pound three thousand i considering what the drug companies make on rest basis just one drug that allegan has. do you feel like it would behoove the mohawks and tribes like the hawks to. regulate this from within because it seems dangerous that especially the hawks on the hill who want to eat in on tribal sovereignty to find this as the perfect excuse of taking that away from eating at it. well right now for example the there's a case going on where we're claiming that the indian tribes have their own law to be able to go after the distributors of opioids ok because they ought to be able to sue him under the very schematics of law not the feds right the feds are always trying to take away from the reservation take away from that right and so that's

what we see here is that one who would know better than you thank you so much for weighing in on this for us mike papantonio the house of america's lawyer thank you . time now for a quick break but stick around because when we return big banks may have successfully ignored block change technology but the tide is turning and it's thirty years since the infamous black monday stock market meltdown could we have another super crash all the stuff the markets have more since nine hundred eighty seven my guess as we go to break here are the numbers the closing down. a little bit more value on the idea that dropping bombs brings to the chicken or the battle. for the tell you that every couple of. times you tell me you will and i like.

that we already know what. here's what people have been saying about redacted in the sixties full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know a lot of the really packs a punch. is the john oliver of hearty americans do the same we are apparently better than food. and see people you never heard of love back to the night my president of the world bank hate. me seriously send us an email. what you have for breakfast yesterday why would you put those who. put your biggest fear on him a bit on the hay right with the last medical board you say if you have a man who's the best quarterback. it's one topic that doesn't belong in the piece

now i could give you due to the question more. guys i made a professional is powerpoint to show you how artsy america it's been to the greater media landscape. and i'm sure i'm all right but we are a solid alternative to the. liberal or conservative and as you can see from this bar graph we don't skew the facts either talking you have left these talking head right oh there you go above it all to look out world is in the spotlight down every lead whatever no idea how to classify it as and it actually took me way more time than i cared to women. computer science researchers at catholic university of love in belgium have discovered serious weaknesses in w.p.a.

too it's what protects all communication between modern why fight networks so it's eavesdropping time when a person using wi-fi is near anyone using crack to tap into the wife i signals crack is short for key reinstallation attacks crack is used to access information such as credit card numbers passwords chat messages emails photos basically anything you don't want anyone to see by breaking into w.p.a. two it was previously thought to be encrypted the data can be manipulated and ransomware can be injected using the weakness. for years big banks and firms ignored block change and its potential but now the mood toward the digital ledger is changing with the major companies hopping on board who has more on that for us at best it takes several days in order for

international transactions to be completed and in a world that's more connected than ever that can get frustrating very quickly so in order to fix that american tech giant i.b.m. is looking to the block chain on monday i.b.m. announced a new partnership with block chain start up stellar and payments company quick x. in a press release a senior vice president of i.b.m. industry platform said with the guidance of some of the world's leading financial institutions i.b.m. is working to explore new ways to make payment networks more efficient and transparent so that banking can happen in real time even in the most remote parts of the world making distributed larger technologies more interoperable is the latest example of i.b.m.'s leadership driving the rapid advancement of change and one of the banks that i.b.m. will be working with to implement the new process is t.d. bank and in the press release the bank's cheap digital and payments officer said we're focused on innovation that adds value for our customers and our business and

block chain presents a tremendous opportunity to transform and it has payment systems enabling us to continue to evolve the products and services we can offer and last year i.b.m. introduced the i.b.m. block chain and then in the summer announce a block in partnership with food companies to improve the food supply chain so the banks latest move is an example of the growing collaboration between the finance world and private firms it also demonstrates how the attitude for the decentralized has changed over time and this goes beyond just payments more normalized it becomes more likely blocked train is to impact other areas like identity systems or loan programs. let's talk more about that how could the block chain affect identity protection systems and those those loan programs especially with identity protection seems huge so proponents of blocked train would say that for one it makes loans easier for it makes it easier for companies to apply for to be approved

for loans because it would eliminate all the burdensome processes that they have to go through i mean a lot of them are still. parts of the process are still paper based so they're still relying on fax machines for parts of their communication and of course part of the reason that is because of security concerns which kind of goes into the next part about identity the block chain is encrypted so it offers an extra level of protection that protects not only the company but also their clients from hackers or any other sort of criminal networks that might try in and get your information or your money so there certainly are a lot of attractive features of the block chain it's just a matter of these big companies that for a long time are rolling their eyes at it warming up to them and then scaling it up and if you protect the customers you protect yourself as well great speaking of i.b.m. one of the inventors made some interesting comments about humans and robots we're finding that more and more among tech leaders are going to tell us about john mcnamara who's the senior inventor at i.b.m. wrote a submission to the u.k.

house of lords saying that humans could become reliant on implanted technology within the next few decades and of course he doesn't represent the rest of the company you know this is just his thoughts but he had a pretty smart guy and yes he's probably pretty smart and i think what caught a lot of people's attention was that you know on one hand he said in plant a technology could eventually help us we're pair of bodies if we have a broken bone or maybe damage to our muscles or cells but then he also said it could quote human cognitive capabilities so could start affecting our brains and perhaps the way we think and process information so i think that's what you know some people on edge now because you're walking around totally out of it and you've got. chip in your brain we've got a pen on a device that's just not thank you so much. but three decades have passed since the dow jones industrial average tumbled more than five hundred points in a single day the black monday crash in one thousand nine hundred seven started in

hong kong shifted to europe and then u.s. markets were hit hard joining me to discuss this former u.s. training commissioner bart chilton horrible day for the markets back in nineteen eighty seven hard to believe it's been thirty years there's a lot of uncertainty at that time not just in the markets but obviously around the world the way it spread how if the markets more sense then is it safe to assume it's better could that ever happen again in that same way it's safe to assume things are better that way you know never say never on on these sorts of market calamities we have seen and i think you know regulators are not particularly great at being nimble or quick are seeing around the corner so don't expect that they're going to step in and try to do something anytime soon to prevent another calamity but bottom line they have changed i mean the fed is very much more involved in monetary policy than they were then it was billions now which trillions with the quantitative easing that they're getting out of that changes our economy it changes

markets and then we got a bunch of new players to that are you know in these markets so you know things have changed but i think by and large things are a little bit better ok let me ask you about some specifics that didn't even exist you talked about new players exchange traded fund t.t.s. yeah i mean that's the way these exchange traded funds are real way for average folks to get exposure to different things that without going ahead and buying it particularly you know in my old area in the commodities i mean it's not like you can invest other than maybe for your dinner in corn but through an e.t.f. you can invest in different commodities oil or gold and it gives you you know the e.t.f. try to keep that exposure so. that it mirrors the price futures price and so i think that's a pretty good thing and in the e.t.f. themselves is like stock are also you know different venues for people to invest in so there's more places that people can invest and i think that's a good thing to ok so it's spread out but let's talk about speed we've got these

cheetos the high frequency traders and of course algorithmic trading or even touch on a i guess the sara lee yet but but tell us about this so when you go back three decades to the black monday they had some rudimentary algorithmic trading but it was really you know they didn't want to stop loss i mean it was computerized but it wasn't fast and it was fairly it was a blunt trading tool put it that way but now with the cheetahs with the h f t's they are you know scooping up micro dollars in milliseconds they are in and out of these markets all the time now the good news is that you know there's lots of liquidity i mean somebody is on the other side of those trades even if it's just for less than a second somebody is getting it somebody is hitting that better offer so that's a good thing but is speed necessarily good and you know there comes a point where you have to say when we see things in markets do we want things to

happen as fast as they can with these cheap is really in control lot of liquidity in markets today that we talk about these massive passives as you call them this group of traders who are they and how do they change the markets with a massive passives or really a group that came for in the mid two thousand that they are like pension funds and that they did is they were making so much money and doing really well in the stock market they decided to diversify into the derivatives markets and so they took took large chunks of their portfolio and said you know let's put a little bit in agriculture let's little put a little bit in the energy complex let's put a little bit in the. metals complex and instead of getting in and out like most traders do or what they do they did back in the day they get in and out of markets these massive passons would take large amounts massive and they would put them there and letting them sit passive and they would do this for years so their bet

was for example lindsey they think the price of oil is going to raise in two or three years not next week or anything and that's a safer bet by and large so those kinds of they also add liquidity but they change markets a little bit i was worried you know back when i was at the commission about concentration but that same seems to ameliorate it was a concentration of too many of them pushing a price one way or another but my former agency seems to have a good a good bead on that and keeping excessive speculation out of the way it's interesting how much it's changed we've seen other market drops two thousand and ten there was that flash crash. dropped nearly a thousand points poor recovering much of that loss it was huge we're at you we're at two year old commissioner job than what are we likely to see as far as flash crashes or any other black monday or anything like that a time soon two thousand and ten was huge but it just went so fast well back then like i said when you have these changes in the market not that they were the cause of it it was actually algorithmic program just plain that can tank markets in

a quick in a quick hurry so we need to watch about those things going forward absolutely thank you so much former u.s. attorney commissioner part shelter. thanks for watching be sure to catch on directv and united states you can catch us on the channel three two one and if you missed us on directv catch on you tube youtube dot com. thanks for watching t.v. next time. your launching our team got special report tonight the stuff. that's fun space you create everything that you think you know about civil society have broken down. there's always going to be somebody else one step ahead of the game.

we should not be on the normalising mile. we don't need people with things like this on our planet. this is an incredibly tense situation. our culture is awash in lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that bird fiction until they are indistinguishable we have become the most deluded society on politics it's a species of endless and needless political theater politicians and just celebrity are two ruling parties are in reality one part of corporate and those who attempt to puncture this. breathless universe of me just signed to push through the cruelty and exploitation of the real movement or are pushed so far to the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has sold its soul for corporate money that we

might as well be squeaky against an avalanche but squeak we must. on larry king they're not only more or less i was out in my private life and i was a supporter. of rights and i've always been an advocate for it and it started to feel a little bit disingenuous to be a supporter and not openly say that i was a part of that group you don't expect in these for gun laws in this administration it's not necessarily stricter gun laws it's just common sense you know maybe if you're on the no fly list you shouldn't be allowed to buy a gun maybe if you're blind you shouldn't be allowed to buy a gun for skating makes them a religion. i was able to do what i love to do and that wasn't what i wanted the toy you seek. and i do better this i sold more it se than any body in one day you say the character is the opposite of you know i'm

not insecure ever that's not what i walk that's not where. i can march to the beat of my own drown don't look to the left or the right and know that there's nobody out slide kmiec and there's nobody out. and i think that that's power all next on larry king now. our guest today is the director natalie morales you know her from parks and recreation the grinder of the middleman and girls as well as her work behind the counter for funny or dogging and directing music videos now believe stars in battle of the sexes opposite it was stone steve carell the billie jean king biopic is in theaters now i was you get the part do you play tennis i don't know not at all not

in the least i don't didn't i don't i don't think imma do either now but she got a little bit more training than i did she knew about them if you did this he was training for about six months i think and i. i got the part of a few days before we started filming. so i didn't train but i don't play tennis in the movie i'm either about to play tennis or i'm just played tennis i'm very good as those years were i remember billie jean very well i knew bobby riggs very well i sure to be rosie once but what was her role in this scenario well rosie was billie jean's very frequent doubles partner she was a grand slam when she wanted ton of stuff and she was also one of her closest friends and she commentated the match the battle of sexes match with howard cosell she was the one with yes yeah who played howard howard it's me and howard they do that sort of split screen us together it's kind of interesting to see yeah it's kind of crazy i think till they get how did you get the part i auditioned for the

how do addition you know it's more you've done you have to and yes i had to audition i almost didn't make the audition but it was so i was shooting the t.v. show the grinder and and i had the audition that same day and i had to work all day and i was like please please can you can you just set the audition for the end of the day and i asked the people at work i said can you please let me out early i don't want to make this so the people at work let me out at one pm and the audition got set for six pm and we happen to be on location and it was in the same building we were shooting it i just had to go upstairs it was all chance it made but it was a fun film it was very you had a memorable or going parks and recreation as a season a girl from what do you make of his success with the mystery of none i'm really happy for him i mean i remember him talking about that show when we were finishing up parks and he was really excited about it i think he's really talented and really hard working some really happy for him and alan yang who is a writer and parks who was his partner on master of none it said you're

a very private person it has been said is it difficult to be a private person in a public industry it can be. i. i like to say that i'm. private but candid i don't know i don't i just don't people are weird larry people can stalk you can be very strange and so i don't want to post pictures of like my house or my life or my family because that's very weird because yeah and so so i can be very candid about things that i believe in and things that i like and i can i can be non private in those ways because i do know that people know who i am because of what i do but recently tweeted success more often than of begins with a year. if you had some recent figures i've got a lot of failures throughout my whole life it's just an appalling wife older i'm thirty two. just sort of a life i mean maybe not compared to you but i have toys a little. it was hard it was your measure of success is the most would you say

you're a success in some ways i'm sure yeah i've definitely exceeded everything i thought i would be able to do when i first moved out to california i could die happy i could say that you get into directing well larry a lot of times when you want to do work as an actor no one will hire you so you've got to make your own work and that's what i like to do and i also like to create stuff so for your daughter you do yes i did a funny or die thing about james joyce the juno that he wrote very very filthy love letters to his wife. so i have many friends read them aloud you recently do or do a music video for andrew bird and big organization every day for gun safety yes what does the bode well it's about you know every time for gun safety is not an organization that wants to take your guns away it's just about gun safety and promoting the idea that we can be more responsible and more. more common sense gun

laws you know and so the video we wanted to team up and sort of do a p.s.a. but i didn't want to do something that was just preaching to the choir i didn't want to do something that we've already seen and to me what i hadn't seen before is how kids today in schools all across america do lockdown drills when i was a kid and maybe when you were a kid you had fire drills maybe two or tornado drills where you. had to write i had never heard of a school that had burned down the you know it wasn't a real fear in my head but for these kids they have to you know stop a math test and do a drill where they have to think about the fact that one of their peers may come in and shoot all of their friends and their family and then they have to go back to doing that math test so just that alone i wanted to highlight how how different it is for kids in america today and how we may not even realize. what it does to their you know you don't expect any stricter gun laws in this of ministration probably not now but we'll see we're working hard to it's not necessarily stricter gun laws it's just common sense you know maybe if you're on the no fly list you shouldn't be

allowed to buy a gun maybe if you're blind you shouldn't be allowed to buy a gun you know you have mental problems are you yeah i mean it should be if you have to have a license to drive a car you have to pass them tests like cars weren't created to injure people. the could be simple legislation the pair were giving me were i know we're working hard on it. personally i'm told well i did the videos with no it was before that i contacted them before that i you know i. i hear the news i'm a person in this country and in this world and and really what affected me the most was the shooting during the batman movie and i you know movies are what i do movies going to movies is my is my safe place that's what it's what i enjoy it's what i do for a living and for somebody to come in and make that not feel safe i don't know what to do about it there's not a lot i could do about it and so i contacted them and was like how can i help

because i mean not knowing that helps me sleep at night is not to feel an active and so i i was that's what i can do you wrote a piece earlier this year about your sexuality and you wrote i was told bisexuals would do generous who are selfish and just want the best of both worlds i was told gay men are fun because they're funny and i have good taste but lesbian women are a waste of space i was told the idea of two women kissing was disgusting why did you write that for what purpose well i you know i was all of my friends and most of my family already knew that i was out in my private life as we said earlier in a private person and i was a supporter of rights and i've always been an advocate for it and i. i started to feel little bit disingenuous to not to be a supporter and not openly say that i was a part of that group you know and i just thought like it's nobody's business who a date but then i realize that normalizing if you have any visibility normalizing

this is important you know because if i was a kid when i was a kid i went through such a hard time thinking exactly that thinking that i was there's something really wrong with me and so if someone that i saw happen to see on t.v. you know that was in my home every night as a friend on television if someone said you know i'm clear on buyer i'm gay it would have made it a little bit easier for me to not feel as alone and so i thought if i could do that for anybody or even you know a mom that had a kid that didn't she didn't quite understand just that visibility and the normalization of that was important indeed could become the word for boys sexual it's not the same thing at least not to me what is queer i think everybody has their own definition of queer may be abused derogatory it was and it's sort of been reclaimed by a lot of people i reclaim and the reason i don't use bisexual is because i think bisexual delineates two sexes right and so queer includes attraction to people who consider themselves trends or people who consider themselves not of any gender you

couldn't see you so of course yes i do because i don't necessarily i'm not only attracted to men or women it's i consider myself attracted to people who are trans or or anybody for me it's not about the socks for me it's about the person i'm attracted to and i fall in love with a person one thing we're told don't know what troll you're we all don't know why you were just what we already knows what yeah i was this one inspired war hero who was homosexual. why you had to recite troll. or no. i don't know yet or i like skirt. me to the world changing. would you like the chance to like oh yeah ok we've game of if you only knew ok you don't have to answer i'll do my best what's

your guilty pleasure i don't think i don't believe in guilty pleasures i feel like a something brings joy to your heart of gold medal winning yeah ok i don't feel guilty about a person you trade places with for a degree i'm treated pleasant someone with an assistant maybe. be nice to see good talent i create tech faces i make fun i like doing that weird his job. i sold mattresses on craigslist. and you go up miami oh it's where i started really yeah nine hundred fifty seven but i know you were juveniles sort of in the kendall area you know that area used to there was no where we are nothing yeah it was nothing so yeah whatever the sales to make you less people falling or buster keaton if you would do what would you be probably an advertising kind of advertising best compliment you ever got that's a really hard one. and that i have good taste in music childhood celebrity crush

montel williams munto yeah you know i used to watch him on t.v. all the time and i thought he was very handsome something you wish you were better that time management some day you long believed to be true and then realize wasn't the things had to be a certain way that everything had to be a certain way nothing has to be anything at all is just what it is if you will would you will yeah something people don't know about you. some people know this about me i'm a big dr who fan i'm a big nerd i saw matt smith at an emmy party going to dan a lot almost died would you like to settle down with someone someday i would but if i don't answer came to thank you natalie thank you so much larry all thank you thank you i guess not only moralist battle of the sexes is in theaters now he's coming up american housewives star katy mixon stay with us.

all the world. and all the news companies nearly players but what kind of partners are to america are to america offers more artsy american person. many ways musically and just like the real news. big news good actors bad actors and in the end you could never own your arms so the car can be for all the world stage all the world's a stage all the world's a stage and we are definitely a player. of it but it is our that our not be that. much as if. you. hate. being that doesn't. suggest that you're outside of town like on the.

by then got a session on the nod that they know. by then is assess the wall and. all of a sudden it's going audience and. it's going to one more. song so certainly my solo. then you know support was abeokuta the pope multiple injuries among current america so for them to keep sophie hope the look of the show's real year mercer on the phone to the book on the if you can book a political social services so you're welcome to the book in the us and what a month. hanumant it enough of. us allowed me. somethin that was like hey don lemon not something not set in. the market alone to huddles look ma that's

what i can now maybe i made the comment in florida. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories that our critics can't tell and 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 week and you know what they're working. on the larry king now guest today is actress katie mixon katie is known for her

roles on h.b.o.'s bounding down them of course alongside the n.c.v.s. is mike and molly and now she's found her lane as the leading lady in a.b.c.'s comedy american housewife in its second season airing whedon's days at nine thirty the show was a hit why i feel very. that the character that i have been given to play the moms and really not moms but everyone can relate to insecurity it doesn't matter what background you come from it doesn't matter what walk of life what you know what gender you are everyone relates to it everyone knows that feeling so i feel. that it's an unbelievable relatable character and the label show where she just says it like it is get the ball i got the part my tamale ended in january at the end of january four days later i walked in to the american

housewife room you say the carrie does the opposite of you you're not insecure ever that's not where i walk that's not where i live i can march to the beat of my own drum i don't look to the left or the right and know that there's nobody else like me another there's nobody else like you and i think that that's power division head about she's into she's going to get more involved in dealing with all of the stepford kind of wives and she is she's going to be the gather director of the getting basically there's a gala committee that puts on a big fund raiser and she's got to get back into their good graces because we left off last season she faked her own pregnancy and that in go well you know there's a lot about body image we are tired of talking about of atlanta the question because it just is what it is but i just don't really care i've been a size two

a size fourteen a size eight i just am who i am and this character as i still ended this character i wanted to play something completely different live than always been play and i wanted to have everything covered up no cleavage i want to vote away or hardly any makeup to character role and that's where she lives is the conversation though about body image change it began to be. about body admits that's how it that's how it started that's how the pilot started off because she's in the land of size two women and clearly i'm not a size two kids in new york city we couldn't we were so poor we couldn't even see westport connecticut we couldn't even state that so poor have you ever been nowhere as not i think you pay a toll to go through i'm sure were the turbo housewives has been polarizing hasn't you like the term are you housewife i'm not a house i'm a i'm

nine thirty pm eastern time on a.b.c. as always you can find me on twitter at kids things i'll see a backstop. i'm going to do just that and you're watching our. swashing for. the mission of newsworthy is to go to the people tell their side of the story our stories are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media in this country can say that i mean average viewer knows that

r.t. america has a different perspective so that we're not hearing one echo chamber that mainstream media is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one tells us what the cover how long the coverage for how to say it that's the beauty of our tea america. we get both sarge we hear from both sides and we question more that journalists are not getting anything get a new way to bring it home to the american people. that. much as you've just done is all. done and he has set a and being that doesn't allow them to just tell you that

outside of the mike on the and. by then got a session on the nod there in. by then is a shift that on. not a set of course is going on more. thoughtful of my soul. than most of the was it the other one the pope multiple and. these are my neck to sew them to yourself you will see the look of the show zero yourself to the bone not. even the people from the c.d.c. say but in the simplest and most of. my. going to make it i'm not. allowed to look. at how i think something is wrong. something. to look my.

way what i can and maybe maybe i think that's. greetings and salutation do you ever wonder watchers why some news stories are given massive newspaper headlines and wall to wall coverage all over the cable news while other stories just as important maybe even more so get pushed to the back of the line to wither and die on the vine of alternative news media these are the questions that we should be asking so today let's look let's take a look at a couple of those stories that deserve more than just a single blurb or headline stories that should not be ignored or allowed to dry up and blow away starting in somalia where

a car bombing in the center of mogadishu took the lives of over three hundred people and counting last saturday and according to the guardian one of the few news outlets to give the story any kind of major coverage the casualties included senior civil servants five paramedic volunteers a journalist but most were ordinary people on one of the busiest thoroughfares of logan being shoe in fact the guardian reports the death toll could reach as high as five hundred. but where is where is the walled in all news coverage that vegas paris and orlando received after violently violent attacks tragically struck those cities i don't see that for somalia no hashtag mogadishu strong on facebook anywhere. because the rules of coverage are different for countries with predominantly lighter skin and a higher gross domestic product you know what else doesn't get the kind of coverage that say your average hollywood divorce does the military industrial complex i mean

why bother with extensive coverage of a tax dollar leeching bureaucracy that according to the pentagon's own data has cost the average american taxpayer some seventy five hundred dollars per person since nine eleven when hey we can target by impulse and start to jonah's brother much more important or why or why bother reporting that the boondoggle of the up thirty five was given twenty billion tax dollars worth of obsolete fighter jets when there is russia meddling in poky money to talk about. what we don't talk about the trivial here so let's roll up our sleeves and give coverage to some real news stories of the day as we continue watching the hawks. as. you know that i got.

the. welcome one and all the watching the hawks i robot and that happened. i know right now what do you know that no one is talking about no one ever talks of no leggo blurb maybe a headline something as big as as big as somalia which in this and this attack this which is horribly tragic incredibly has a over the weekend yet less you are really paying attention you would be like oh well actually hard to something happen we've talked about it before when things have happened over the last couple of years every time one of these things. happens there's always other cases that have more that have there are more tragic more civilians killed in other places but as we've said before if it's not in a chic metropolitan city. listen a lot of white people around people just don't pay attention. but there's

a lot of white people in africa there were thousands and wearing uniforms and that's where this happened you can't be surprised that people are going to die in a place where you're going in with weapons of war and you're waging war and you're dropping bombs you're in an environment that's going to happen but to pretend like if it's important enough for us to be there it should be important enough for the u.s. press for that money a minute amount to let the american people know where where our soldiers are where or where they're fighting most definitely. i mean you know you look at it like this it's like clint smith the teacher writer ph d. candidate at harvard i think the most important question imagine if two hundred fifty plus people in the u.s. or u.k. or france were killed in a truck bomb that's just what happened in somalia they deserved to be born so yes i think we do deserve to take more the loss of those people and i hope the brave.

they can recover from this small is not a bad years but let's talk about that other favorite wonderful wonderful well again that we could be giving the people of somalia we could be giving you know countries in africa how we could be giving them you know what we can build in roads yeah that's the country doing things like can help them and said we're putting all this money into ridiculous things like wasting twenty million with a b. twenty billion dollars on after thirty five's that are pretty much useless yes a so the u.s. military is now canceling upgrades to more than one hundred of these early model after thirty five stealth fighters that were used in the reasoning is that. they one hundred or so of them. i have this to be called the to be block blog to be software and what that does is allow a plane that actually has the capability physical capability to drop a number of different kinds of missiles because it has this one software it can

only do like four different guns oh so we need for something like seventeen hundred of them and six per cent of them are useless totally they can't do any of them they're supposed to do so yeah that leaves us with about twenty billion dollars of stuff that we have an incredible time they have no they have no six percent twenty billion of these they don't work they don't have any capabilities that we paid for and there's a really enjoy. twenty billion dollar and search about ways to i would love to hear how twenty billion dollars does it is because of something called speed over quality it's because of a strategy concurrent see. greater an analyst with the project on government oversight in washington d.c. told the daily beast there's the risk but the services would be stuck with less than capable aircraft as one that the pentagon knowingly took would leaders decided to overwhelm the development and the testing of the program with the production so basically it's a deliberate strategy concurrency which as they say is designed to speed up no

design not that's just doing things poorly this is what you think is the dumbest thing i've ever heard they get away with it because we just throw money at the military without any any any kind of oversight with anything in our guidelines that yukos research then development then reduction then distribution it's like day three of business school you might want to write things were different in the product they say we can only agree at once you can't do what they want to do they have taxpayer dollars to waste not held accountable to bad that's the problem because the moment you try to hold them accountable they're say well why are you why are you preventing the soldiers you know from doing what they need i want to know why you're preventing you're wasting away twenty billion dollars. if that twenty billion dollars could have fed every single kid who goes hungry in this country well you too and some of the only have some leftover for legs i believe your story made i'm sure you were you know i brought us a little over seventy five hundred dollars for your person in the united states who

pays taxes since nine eleven what's really interesting though is the opposite of how much we spend on diplomacy a lot less it's about forty one hundred eleven per person so they out of our tax money only forty one hundred for diplomacy and seventy five hundred for just you know bridging i don't get it i just don't understand that sometimes you get a real war like society one point five trillion dollars you know afghanistan iraq and syria one point five trillion dollars and you're telling me we can't feed people or take care of our elderly we should get rid of social security because who cares about old people all one point five actually jumps up to five trillion dollars. include things like the military no one knows when you start including black budgets and cia operations just. for nearly a week flames continue to burn in northern california scores dead and thousands more evacuated compounded by strong winds the flames have been spreading like

wildfire and sending paths of smoke hundreds of miles across the region the same winds reignited the fires this saturday causing yet more evacuations and panic while at least a dozen people remain missing and economic and sell to physical injury the fires are hitting california's wine country a major economic engine in the state the hardest actually had the latest weather reports do bring hope that a weather system out of alaska will bring much needed rainfall later this week to help quell the flames but in the meantime eleven thousand firefighters are on the front lines risking everything to help stop the destruction artist natasha street has more out of los angeles. and tyrrell you know the largest expert. after of the disaster as you mentioned are those unrelenting when we understand that the wind carried the smoke some five hundred fifty miles all the way to the mexico border and that's as motive satellite passed over california on friday capturing these images and you can see the thick line of smoke coming from

santa rosa into the pacific ocean parallel to the northern edge of mexico so those winds like you mentioned are just very very strong still awesome point looks a lot like the mount st helens will not blow up in the seven years to the satellite images of you know you saw the bow over the ridges of the of the fires of burned over two hundred thousand acres leaving california's fire crews essentially exhausted and spread remarkably been despite eleven bow's of them how is the state handling this crisis the doj. we understand that the state actually released you know federal emergency funds but we understand there's also one hundred thousand firefighters from neighboring states coming in to help with this effort a hundred thousand firefighters and then another eight hundred eighty fire engines one hundred thirty four bulldozers two hundred twenty four hand crews and one hundred thirty eight water tenders and first thing saturday morning there were fourteen helicopters in the air conducting water drops. wow it's pretty amazing now

according to authorities you know you have about a hundred thousand people under these evacuation orders forty people that fifty seven hundred homes and businesses already destroyed what comes next for the survivors. yeah you know it's a great question according to authorities there are one hundred thousand californians that are under evacuation orders right now as we speak forty people dead fifty seven hundred homes and businesses destroyed and survivors they've just been stunned by the and president of destruction. and you spoke with two of the survivors i believe earlier that we could take a look i did to say. that the winds came up the fire was like a fire tsunami it was like a fireball the winds were so fierce so fierce so there's very little time i ran and grabbed our grandson who was staying with us seven years old my wife and our two party dogs thrown in my car and we backed out as we backed out the house just went

up in flames so we're very fortunate to get out. this is incredible testimony as you hear there and also i don't want to miss this either you also spoke with some fire representatives or fire california fire spokesperson about their efforts and what they're doing let's let's take a look at that as well. that's a pretty stunning figure that the fact that we burned almost as much in a week that we burned all year long so it's a it's a fire season in a week resources are stretched pretty thin but the crews are still in good spirits is a late season fire and this is typically when california severs its most devastating fires. that just i mean the most fires that they normally have in a season in one we are saying that. obviously these players are having a stronger than usual impact on the economy got about forty seconds just how hard is this state you know has this hit the wine industry there. well we understand at least fifteen wineries smaller wineries have been destroyed but if you think about

it the wineries. and general their accounts of course fifty seven billion dollars for the california state economy so it's a huge effort here in california you know people go there to get married in the wine country they just had the p.g.a. tour there just a little more than a week ago vacation there and there's about one hundred thousand jobs there are winery based as well so too early to tell exactly how damaging destroyed everything is we understand a lot of groups are already harvested but as far as the wineries being you know back up and running it's still too early to tell. great great reporting out there all right as we go to break don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered in facebook and twitter see our full shows at r t v dot com and coming up we present the second part of strong storms interview with papers whistleblower daniel ellsberg about the group ken burns documentary series of the vietnam war stay tuned to watch.

mark twain said it's easier to fool people into schools that could be why america is so divided because people have been fed fake news feed for by corporate interests they beat you down until you believe their fairy tales well here's a story for you it's called big and it's full of bad fiction. i do not know if the russian state hacked into john podesta e-mails and gave them to wiki leaks but i do know barack obama's director of national intelligence has not provided credible to support his claims. i also know he perjured himself in a senate hearing planned three months for the revelations provided by edward snowden he denied to be n.s.a. was. terry now hold still the balance of the u.s.

. the hyperventilating corporate greed has once again proved to be an ethical for government claims that cannot be verified you would have thought they would have learned something after serving as george w. bush's useful idiots in the lead up to the base of iraq. it is vitally important that the press remains rooted in a fact based universe especially when we enter an era when truth and fiction are becoming indistinguishable. half a century may have passed since the brutality of the vietnam war yet there are as many unanswered questions about the conflict as there are tombstones in arlington cemetery from allegations that the cia's air america led the charge in drug

smuggling under the cover of the vietnam and a war and a war and laos to a white house juggling act that sought to balance strategic combat decisions with political calculations back at home the war has left an ocean of questions and its power putting in doubt almost every single statement our government officials have publicly made on the topic to explore these questions and how many of our domestic problems are linked to the war as we find ourselves in johnstown was joined earlier by daniel ellsberg the former us military analyst and whistleblower behind the famous pentagon papers here as what he thinks were missing in the debate over vietnam. the fact that we had a heroin epidemic here when we were fighting a covert war and then an open war in. asia southeast asia later a cocaine epidemic when we're fighting covert wars in nicaragua and central america and again a heroin epidemic opium i think when we are fighting a war in afghanistan which which by the way

a lot of that heroin as i understand it goes to russia and creates to a. degree epidemic there of heroin addiction so the fact is that our cia has as you know and as. historian l. mccoy has brought out frequently one of the first to bring that out the cia has backed. drug gangs essentially and facilitated them in many parts of the world as part of their covert operations their clandestine operations which are to be denied and which can't be openly financed and a lot of that financing comes from allowing or even facilitating drug dealers to run drugs into the u.s. europe and and it turns out now to russia but another aspect of course is very significant when left out of the series is the draft resistance i think

there's one shot of someone burning a draft card no mention whatever of the people who chose to go to prison nonviolently to send a message to the country that this was wrong that they couldn't participate in it and that it was it was a wrongful war altogether they could have gone to canada or been ceo's or gotten deferments or various kinds over four thousand people went to prison it was example of people like that that i met just on their way to prison that. made me realize that i could do the same that i could do something that would bring the truth out and send a message to the people of all wrongful this wars if i were willing to go to prison as i was when i when i saw their example they do go into the pentagon papers to some degree but. they don't at all bring out what induced me to do that without draft resisters no pentagon papers it wouldn't have occurred to me to do that and

for whatever good that did do and that's another story the people who chose to go to prison were part of that story. you know but even before you decided to divulge the pentagon papers you had a you had come to a place of realizing that the war itself was the wrong war you must have been disenchanted what was that point for you what was your breaking point to realize this is this the wrong effort wrong place completely futile on america's part well there was stages of that some of that is clear in the film not including to meet not related to me but to the marines and the others realizing that this was a stalemated war that it was not achieving any progress in the to continue it was a quote waste of lives on both sides really that it shouldn't be continued and as somebody who was in vietnam and who used my former marine experience as a former marine company rifle company commander i walked with troops as

a civilian and did experience combat a good deal and saw that war up close so i got that impression which is very widely shared inside the government and by the troops and officers what did you do about that though is another question i worked on the inside for a couple of years trying to and induce them to get a negotiated outcome solution or to extricate ourselves but in sixty nine i read the earliest parts of the pentagon papers and it came through much more clearly than it does in the film that the united states had no business killing any vietnamese from the very beginning or supporting the french obviously from forty five and forty six on and all the more from one nine hundred fifty on that was not a noble cause it wasn't even a just cause it was criminal actually in terms of american ideals and american values of self-determination that meant to me that all that killing i've described

and there were some three million vietnamese who died in that war that all of it was basically a result. of u.s. policy in the light by the way of a determination by many vietnamese for independence from foreign control and they would have above all like to do that as it was agreed in the geneva accords of one nine hundred fifty four that that happened by election and we knew that an election would result in a government we didn't like namely the ones that had achieved leadership of the nationalist cause by defeating the french on the ground in one nine hundred fifty four fifty three and fifty four so it would have been a communist led government of unification byelection and his eyes and our pointed out everyone agreed that that would have been an overwhelming victory. the film does not make clear at all that it was u.s. policy not to hold those elections they attributed to president node in the z.m.

but we had picked no didn't see him for that purpose and as you mentioned general and stale was an advisor to him a cia advisor who advised him on running an election that was a mock election essentially a rigged election against the so-called emperor of vietnam and and that in fact lansdale had told him that something like a sixty percent to win was quite adequate for the purpose but z.m. wasn't content with that he had to get something like ninety nine percent and in fact that that made him shoot for something like one hundred four percent of the voters in saigon area where he was stronger to compensate for less elsewhere the point is it was the us who decided there would be no election for unification the election i've just described was for running the south essentially as a separate country geneva had not contemplated that at all south vietnam was a us creation as

a country like panama you might say so when people say it wasn't ours to lose in a certain sense it was ours to lose we'd created south vietnam. as a foreign power that didn't give us a real right to it but it put a psychological sense that no president wanted to be accused of having lost south vietnam any more then presidents in the more recent past wanted to moves panama to real independence seoul or alaska but say so. that point does not come out in any case i did realize that in sixty nine and that meant to me that all of these three million deaths were unjustified result or result of an unjustified u.s. policy and unjustified deliberate homicide meant to me murder mass murder and that was something that i couldn't. relate to simply as a bystander or be looked for

a graceful face saving way out over a period of years but something i had to try to end as quickly as possible of course i couldn't do that and even the american people can't do that and they didn't prove able for some years through that it went on for years after the pentagon papers came out but i did hope that an informed public would would act to get us out. speaking of the disenchantment one one document that i think should have been addressed in the documentary and it's not really touched upon by most mainstream historians is national security action memo two six three basically kennedy's proposal in september to bring one thousand visors back in sixty sixty four basically and in spite of the five to drawdown the commitment to vietnam this is a sea change as far as what could have been

a cad kennedy live but doesn't get into that do you think that a lot of people dismissed do six three and seven two six three but don't you think that as a very important document for historical analysis yes you know let me move beyond that for a moment i do believe that i was as mcnamara said i think it was right about this that kennedy intended to get out in sixty five after the election he might or might not have reduced troops and continued to reduce troops in sixty four before the election i don't believe he intended to or would have gotten out before the election and expose himself to charges from. goldwater that he had lost vietnam he wasn't prepared to do that so it's not to his credit that he chose to prolong the war through the election and of course he didn't survive the you didn't live that long and he was succeeded by somebody who was determined not to lose the war in the sixty five or ever and then by another president nixon who felt the same

way i do think that of kennedy had lived it was his intention to get out and this is brother told me. no one could say exactly what he would have done had he lived that's what bobby said to me but he said i know what he intended to do and that was to get the combat troops and to end our involvement actually after the election he was the only president. chain of succession after the second rule or who even entertain such a thought and who intended to act on it and i think you would have made a great difference if you had lived likewise and actually i believe that humphrey secretly intended to get out there's a lot of evidence for that not particularly interested in the in the film and his lawsuit nixon i think kept the war from being ended in sixty nine. while it's very important for us all to take in

a much closer look at how we have the world around us objectifies women and men sometimes the knee jerks a little too fast this happened recently when the pick up for vets and award winning charity planned a visit to this new city south dakota v.a. hospital the group has published a yearly calendar featuring female military veterans dressed in one thousand sorties era clothing in the incredibly innocent pent up style a style that is a very large part of world war two military culture was even used to recruit posters at the time the board of the sioux city facility initially claimed that the calendar and the women's clothing might contribute to the disrespect of women veterans in their roles as equals and perpetuate objectification of women in general now collectively the women of this year's pent up for events calendar have served one hundred forty five years in military service they have traveled to every state in the country to spend time with a veteran stuck in hospitals and nursing homes what they are not doing is degrading themselves or weapon donning a retro hairstyle and dress doesn't oppressed women but assuming

a dress makes these women and their work inappropriate and offensive to women is actually some pretty patronizing nonsense so here are some of that are ins and civilians who make up pick ups for vats of reality every year bringing joy and financial assistance to their fellow that we salute you we most definitely do and gentlemen is our show for you today remember everyone in this world we are not told you're alone. so i tell you all the love you i am a tie robot and i'm topical and keep on watching all those hawks out there and i'm a great day and night everybody.

and. nobody not a madman. for decades the american middle class has been railroaded by washington politics. big money public interest that's drowned out a lot of voices that's how it is in the news pulse or in this country now that's where i come in. i'm ed schultz on r.t. america i'll make sure you don't get railroaded you'll get the straight talk and the straight news. questionable. what politicians do sometimes. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to be preached. to going to be press was like them before three in the morning can't be

good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. i should more. or less return to the not so i was i was thinking this way go. during my coffee and i thought have you ever thought about all of the people of all political stripes who are unhappy with this country heading towards a disgusting dystopian right wing corporate a hole controlled by two parties that are actually just one party like if you thought of all if you thought of your brain of all the good imagine if we all teamed up to beat this thing instead of even fighting it just angrily tweeting you say you're against the police stay put.
