it looks like the real thing is what. the part of. what they like you know that i got. this. week so. welcome aboard a watchable harks i am a robot and that's half of the wallace so. i have to ask how dangerous among the many things that can corrupt a good journalist soul and how dangerous is that kind of is money and popularity you know the quest for popularity the need to make your paper money or your news out of money how dangerous are those to the well i think that's just human nature it's pretty dangerous and you know when you're talking about something that you know we're not making ice cream it's new it's there it's really you know we're

talking about getting information to people about a platform that is literally a you know intellectual x. tension of our of our democracy so when when money gets in there there's just certain things you know now i feel like i should add to the list of things that shouldn't be for profit ventures and needs now is you know on top of prison and health care i have to put news on their news was never meant to make money it was a public good it was put on it was you know license or given up the idea of you this is for the public good this shouldn't be about making money but this sort of shows that idea of you make your little blog gets but bought out and this is what eventually happens the minute it's not just free easy money they're going to go away and it saddens me that a bunch of journalists you know goes beyond it was like unless you're a top top name journalist you're not going to make a lot of money in your life that i will see maybe middle class in the lower middle class and i'll probably have to do it in a big city it would middle ground. and there's more examples are you living. like

wouldn't when there's a billionaire decided to close the door and got the best d.n.a. info you know this was just a week after twenty five of twenty seven workers in the new york office voted to join the writers' guild. which meant that management would have to you know bargain with them as part of a union they would have to treat them like people treat them like people would see what it's meant to be a spokeswoman a little there's a spokeswoman for sudden the statement the decision by the editorial team to unionize is simply another competitive obstacle making it harder for the business to be financially successful yeah i'd ask a spokeswoman how much she's making right nother you know to make of some financial well i would hope that the first thing that you spend money on is your journal or user and that's be number one and who told you going to get rich by having a newspaper or having a blog and don't suppose anybody who sits there goes you're going to make a ton of money and be so profitable with this blog the thing about who to also who

told anybody that local news was profitable and he's a billionaire he doesn't need to what is needed probably the horse or you know this is this idea of being you know this decision didn't just put the people who said we'd like to join a union you didn't just put them out of work and put one hundred fifteen people out of work with you know those that unionized that chicago los angeles san francisco and washington that didn't unionize so that's why i find this whole what i went to bed to do it if it weren't for those darn unionizing kids in that van. it's kind of ridiculous because these people now don't have a job they're getting paid administrative leave full salary plus four months ever so three months of paid leave. this is the thing these are these are web sites that over the years the reason why someone buys this because it gets traffic they were getting nine million readers a month in new york and other cities where they were operating this sort of satellite versions of each of a. lot of traffic and he claims so i've lost money if you were losing money on the . that was your mistake that was your about business if you couldn't find

a way to page writers in local areas to do this somebody wasn't somebody was well i'm not sure your average size isn't a million hits a month that's pretty ridiculous moving over to the other side of the equation the kind of popularity of the politics and for my journalistic decisions which can ask people to be robots but you have to know when to draw a buck namely that comes as glenn greenwald recently exposed how quickly these false words travel what are we so donna brazil thing you know i mean journalists just kind of tweet to be part of the cool crowd before you actually check the story and it's a lot of opinion based stuff where it just seems very childish these days i think that the greatest threat to journalism is journalists acting like it's junior high lunchroom on twitter you got to be put on a weekend ahead as we've all but you know we've all we've all been guilty of being snarky on the person is like sometimes i get a little snarky i go you know you're right but here is my point there's

a lot of people out there not giving journalism a good man and that scares me because it's working the bar lower there are better definitely those that would definitely go. with all the talk about tax code it's important to know just what it is in the tax code that truly constitutes an attack on the right to citizens in this case the women and men who are victims of sexual harassment and assault say half a century ago is illegal for a business to deduct any expenses that was deemed a violation of public policy meaning if the payment was used to commit or cover up a crime it was not considered a normal cost of doing business but in the one nine hundred sixty nine the code changed and now only excludes a deduction if the payment constitutes an illegal bribery illegal kickback or other illegal payment under law in the united states it's not technically illegal to pay someone a settlement for illegal behavior it is however illegal to deduct the hush money from a company's taxes. and to make matters even more perplexing the victims were often

silenced and intimidated in seeking the payouts how to pay taxes on the money they receive as peter j. having a professor of law at wayne state university stated and a piece for the online publication the conversation there are no surefire ways to end sexual harassment and assault in the workplace but making it cost more to hide this much misconduct might help make it less commonplace so do you think c.e.o.'s should be able to buy their way out of trouble at the expense of the country's bottom line no no no no no no no no no no times of quadrillion there's no this is so. every fiber of my being says this is wrong and i can't imagine who's out there going to defend this so your guy at this company breaks the law let's sexually harassed maybe even surgically assault someone rather than take it to court you make a settlement with the corporation make settlement with this person let's say rights

of a big check fifteen thirty million dollars oh we're so sorry that we sexually harass you and we don't do anything about it or anything about it so here's your charge be quiet don't say no then you're out the door then the corporation can turn around and deduct that from their taxes at the cost of the cost of doing business just to cut you know what sexual harassment of the soul in the workplace is just a cost of doing business as they've told women for decades and decades and decades well you know you're going to want to be in the workforce falls on the taxpayer that is going to get up the bill and what's more ridiculous is the fact that they're taxing the victim yeah and isn't this really the way that it gets done and it's usually what happens when someone tries to fight and someone says ok i'm going to do a law suit i'm going to take you to court and make you do this so they're not only have to pay on the pay you know on settlements that are made outside of like a core procedure but if they choose to take it to court they're going to get hit twice so they can take and get tax the way we're talking about it getting. as

income but then if you take it to court your attorneys fees are considered income even though they're separated and usually in these kind of if you will of course there's right so you have to pay the taxes on it so you get double dipped then the other tricky thing is that you can only right now the way the laws work is that only physical damages like only end for only money given to you for physical injuries and damages are tax deductible not emotional ones however and there's the trick if you can prove that your emotional damages were triggered by a physical injury as in like you know. pushing whatever they can be to ask for a while so if you end up deciding to take an agreement to do a settlement just ask your attorney. personal physical injuries physical sickness and emotional distress arising out of such physical injuries or something there of because you could literally end up paying twice as much in taxes because it's

emotional pain not when you need to bring these things above board and there's a california senator. is proposing legislation that would actually make these secret settlements that we hear about everything from please above board of like ok here it's all in the open if you sexually aroused in your company to pay your victim off right you're going to be put on it your name is going to go through in secret and do it in secret she told variety quote we really need to remove the curtain of secrecy about what's happening ultimately that's what hurts victims and the ables perpetrators to continue to do this and remain hidden senator as a first term senator all so far have won the and the statue of limitations of rape in california is do a lot of good work out there for this kind of our first lottery and all of this sort of runs because we're basing certain things on the idea of a public hazard yes right so we have laws in place that prohibit confidentiality of provisions like non-disclosure agreement. which are

a part of almost every business somewhere another but these the idea is that you can't use that confidentially provisions to cover up instances of a public house or the like when you know a therapist here is something that might be a danger this is that same situation so what of course right now sexual harassment assault are not considered public hazards and i think that's the problem folks if we live in a society that does not define rape assault and sexual harassment of women and men in public as heard i don't know what is i mean yeah that's that boggles my mind and i'm sorry but don't care exams double does send their brand their creditors and don't and will make us pay you for your screw up like those link at the end of the day if you're out there or salting women that company dime don't make the taxpayers or if you're going to go there you know what they're going to pay for the rest horrible right now as we go to break log watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the proper through government facebook and twitter see our poll shows that our dot com coming up parties the toughest you can david miller bring us the

latest on the tragic mass shooting in texas then sean still talks with g.e. my about her new documentary on human trafficking stay tuned to watch. in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around court. confirmations from washington to washington the media the media. and voters elected is not to run this country business because. it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . in terms of foreign policy done all chomp is already

earned himself the title the low expectations president this title is now being put to the test during his tour of asia because the us a status quo power in the asia pacific region for oil challenging china. plate for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guys. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each a billionaire owners and spending student twenty million on one playa. it's an experience like no one else want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chance with. the base it's going to.

i mean sure i'm due diligence to get to class but i live here good for you doesn't . believe. really need. to be. like a. global issue we have many things in this world and this isn't enough for everyone and why some people's minds so take our thinking all the power just for themselves instead of. you know what.

for once there might be a dash of truth in what is usually a boilerplate talking point from the much reviled national rifle association namely that what our country needs is not more gun control measures but rather just better and for some of the laws we already have there certainly wasn't much to that argument after the massacre in las vegas last month where a simple yet terrifying gun modification in the form of a bump stop allowed the shooter to legally turn his weapons and they were clueless as machine guns but in the aftermath of the latest tragic sure church suit shooting and sutherland springs texas a shocking revelation actually gives that argument much more credence as revealed by a us air force spokesman the shooter who was found guilty of domestic violence and should have been precluded from purchasing the weapons he used was actually able to since the air force neglected to enter his name into the f.b.i.'s background check database. yes let's take

a look at how our gun control laws failed to prevent this attack but first let's check in with our teams in the toughest way on how the southerland springs community has been coping with this tragedy. they do. it well the running for circles popping up all over in monday night's vigil in sutherland springs remember the twenty six lives that were taken from this too soon and so much on the scene going to lose some really i don't have all the world to be saved. you know you just got to keep moving on and for antonia rash that also means remembering her friend fourteen year old annabel palm morry pastor's daughter who was among the dead and that's why we're all here united as a you you know cause me off somewhere and we lost like a sister to lives which is annabel you know and even hard attending the church was like well like i said is a manly the man many are calling a hero for engaging in a shoot out with the church gunman is a former n.r.a. instructor living just blocks from the first baptist church steven will afford said

his daughter alerted him about the gunfire she was hearing all the ford says he dropped everything grabbed his rifle and ran out there foot to the church even though devon kelly was reportedly wearing tactical gear well afford shot the gunman trice once in the torso where there was a gap in his gear and another gunshot to his leg people bad turps. supreme's amar apparently. never karma heard or saw and knew that there probably represented a life. i was scared to death scared or not will afford jumped into johnny car a stranger at the time well they chased down kelly until his car eventually crashed authorities say he then called his dad said that he wasn't going to make it then shot himself in the head. the shooter may be gone but the pain in this tragedy remains presents and the people in shock but to read this yes it's quite

a shock especially folks being in church on a sunday morning never would think that anything like this would happen in our little community never. and joining us now in the newsroom is r.t. correspondent david miller with the latest revelation on the air force error guys the department of defense has requested a formal review from the inspector general and the air force over the handling of devon kelly's criminal records in two thousand and twelve kelley was convicted and court martialled on two charges of domestic assault against his wife and stepson under the uniform code of military justice that cording to air force records kelly repeatedly struck kicked and choked his first wife and his step son's head with quote a force likely to produce death or grievous bodily harm and prosecutors did withdraw several other charges as part of their plea agreement with kelley including

allegations that he repeatedly pointed a loaded gun at his wife kelly was sentenced to twelve months confinement and reduction to the lowest possible right and now a new report showed that kelly's escape from a mental health facility in new mexico in june of two thousand and twelve while facing his court martial kelly also made threats to his chain of command and his m.o. but kelly's bad conduct discharge did not prohibit him from owning a gun under federal law all anyone convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than a term exceeding a year is prohibited from possessing a firearm the same is true for anyone convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic ballots and kelly's conviction they qualify under both those categories in the air force may have violated the brady handgun violence prevention act also guns the lots and amendment this investigation will determine whether information about kelly's conviction was properly entered into that national criminal invest the information since or and that database of all the

military is not responsible for the actions of the shooter the question for the hawks is why did the air force protect this soldier and not give kelly this honorable discharge. it's a great question thank you david are one of the most troubling and under-reported issues of our time is perhaps the extent of human trafficking issue is truly universal ranging from the visible and much talked about underage sex industry that can be seen in southeast asian countries such as vietnam and thailand or the underground but noticeable pattern of young eastern european women ending up in slave light conditions in the middle east and other parts of europe or even the constant swirl of rumors about sex and labor trafficking with them united states itself and across its southern border but some of endeavor to shed light on the stories such as t.v. personality jeannie my executive producer behind stopping traffic at recent documentary exposing the wide reach of human trafficking gina joined sean stone to discuss what inspired the film here's

a preview of their conversation we covered where trafficking takes place in mexico thailand just to name a couple countries we actually hosted some of the women that are helping some of the survivors that have come from all over the world to just help rebuild and therapeutically empower these women to be back in normal in their lives so we had also victims that have been trafficked before we also had a traffic agent kind of come to country about what it was like to traffic women and why he took part of it and why he was actually trafficked himself i think my favorite story that is really rare that you hear today is dr john king who is a traffic victim himself as a kid by his own parents and then today realizing at the age of forty what he went through and now today being able to talk about what it was like to be a male were raped trafficked and involved in really dark sexual schemes with his family so his story was really rare publicans you don't hear men talking about

being sexually abused period and number two is just someone who is just going through his healing. as you vocally and very aggressively is going after did make the changes that need to happen with human trafficking so the film yeah it does really cover some really in-depth interviews with people that are firsthand in line with either the trafficking themselves or with the victims that are that are still trying to process but you said you had a personal experience with sex slavery tell us about how you came to understand the nature of the scope of this horror oh man it was almost eight years ago and every day somebody brings it up it's just so gives me chills because i'm so. healing myself just learning that this happened in my own family so i have a cousin she's a really close family friend and now as a as a cousin of ours and actually my mom just adopted her and her family so she's a family member of ours but she has grown up in the house my mom has grown up in

vietnam so that being like a relative i send her clothing i write her letters on one facebook opened up in vietnam where i was able to communicate with her innocent little girl at the time fourteen years old and i noticed that as i started sending her some of my clothing she started to dress more promiscuous lee and just a lot more you know a lot more showy and like what's going on my cousin my innocent cousin in vietnam changing right before my eyes she hanging out with a different group of people i started to get concerned so i said flew to vietnam to hang out with her and she just was more closed off and. it was a sign of just becoming a teenager was something greater so i actually snuck out one night and followed her when she said she had to go to work so she told me she worked at a coffee shop and i basically stuck her and found that she was working in a brothel and i saw her servicing different men there and in tears i was like you

know what is going on why why are you working here there are so many places that a beautiful smart girl like you could be working and she. then after you know lying a little bit meek trying to really press and direct she she admitted that her uncle which is a family friend of ours had sold her to the brothel so that she could pay off a family debt. this is the first time i've ever heard that you could do this to sell a human being to now be forced to be in this condition and to do what she's doing because if she didn't do it her uncle would kill her mom which is. a lot of hers and i just i do. the whole web of lies and the guilt and the shame she had now forcing me to promise not to say anything because her her mother and father were at risk i just couldn't understand it so as i spoke about this more with different people i learned of the term traffic which really only came about

the last ten years and i had to understand it further so i actually then took myself to join an organization to learn what women like my cousin were going through and i moved ira i lived in thailand for about three months and i disguised myself and lived in a few brothels to understand what women like my cousin were going through what the whole business is like how much money it brings in what these women are forced to do what age it starts out and that's when it opened up this whole new path that i've now stepped into and i'm not ending until i see changes starting to be made with the. it's like south the traffic the felt. the glorification of poverty as a lifestyle brand is well nothing new when urban outfitters opens its doors in one thousand nine hundred eighty. referred to their demographic as upscale homeless after the two thousand and eight financial crisis struggling fashionistas were rebranded as recession mi estus and they made looking porson posh but only if you

did it in the right way and something tells me that the folks behind it wish recession chic in upscale homeless with love the new every day collection from jewelry giant tiffany's think when the kiddos come home from school they can take out their four hundred thirty five dollars sterling silver an american walnut protractor to do their geometry homework while you bring them up a cup of milk into the ninety five dollar bone china version of the branded paper cups they use in their store and of little billy is struggling to sit them out can just give him a three hundred fifty dollars sterling silver in for meals straw and those everyday objects are just too reminiscent of the of the money class that treat yourself to a fifteen hundred dollars sterling silver. and give the kitten a nine thousand dollar ball of twine to play with reality often as

beautiful as it is ugly and expensive you know this is one of those things it's like it's funny because it's like i'm sorry if some some really really rich goof out there is willing to spend time thousand dollars on a ball of twine i guess they can go do that but i mean if the person making the nine thousand dollars ball of twine isn't making a thousand dollars off that i don't save a little we're going to go about it like i mean it's so we don't really want to buy what are our i mean come on like we was like you said there's a certain like there's a certain sickness out there or the like oh hey i want to buy something and. spencer but look. it is silk and a thousand are so good at the coffee can that drove me just everything else i'm like why are fanciest. but a thousand dollars to have a plant like looks like something out of some poor we will use those revise it is because we don't have money i can get you back you know i can get you some camels i

can spray painted sorry you're good to go any silver yet i was there when i left world said well me good sometimes this. life to better and better better than right out of his or up for you to day remember one day of this world were not told for love that up so i tell you all i love you i am tired will return and on top of the all the people are watching those talks of it's great they have made everybody . we'll willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone has signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people i've seen stuff that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection

between burn pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the burn pits would really literally send a be a growth and they don't want to pay it so the waiting in the decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they won't have to pay. paul burrell to get the middle finger to movies and finally. delayed to be done. prescribe medication is widespread on the us market and a frequent cause of death and. i just felt like everything with my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit some site
