light shines through illuminating just how corrupt and irresponsible to the many the system has now become recently one of those rare great moments came courtesy of diamond resorts international founder and major democratic party donor stephen close back who gallop answered on the m s n b c and tore down that veil after being asked asked by host stephanie ruhle if the democratic party is right to adopt the message of the bernie sanders down with the billionaires progressives here was his response it's so f.n. wrong whoa i've talked to schumer i've talked to whiten i've talked to palosi and said what i said if you used the term billionaires again i'm done. go back went on to say during the course of the interview that we should be the party of doing well we should be the party of business and leadership and i've made it very clear i'll cut your money off and others will do the same we've had enough

we need to rebranding and that ladies and gentlemen is how politics really works it's the big donors the steve include backs the sheldon adelson the koch brothers who decide just what the party message shall be otherwise no money for you no money for you and with super pacs raising over one point five billion in campaign money according to the washington post just ten mega donor individuals and couples contributed nearly twenty percent of the one point one billion raised by super pacs by the end of august in that presidential election cycle of last year the new gilded age of politics is here in washington and around the world it is not going anywhere. which is why we are watching the hawks. but you get the. real deal with. the plot of. the day like you that i got.

this. week so. welcome everybody to watching the harks i am tyrone ventura and tabitha wallace so if you billionaires again we're going to take our money go. that the democracy apparently that's the democratic party. that just needs to rebranded as the party of business why you just make a billionaires party of them why don't you just be honest well they already are the party of business let's let's let's work in there not you know all both the major parties in this country are the party of business at the end of a day here from goldman sachs you know major wall street firms you have this guy who is you know made is billions and i am shares yeah so you know excuse me if i

don't exactly consider him them or are better into politics and that's one of them with you know call back look you know look i you suddenly interview he said the interview with them was i'm busy you know or my money and i don't take that away from you probably work very hard for your body throughout the course of your life but let's also take a step back and remember something that you were born into a culture where you know you have the right skin color rather the right gender you had you know all these you were already ahead of the pack before you know you haven't got started so i'm not trying to take away from our how hard it was during your money but at the end of the day remember the we all can't be billionaires we all can't be millionaires guys with one hundred million dollars. some of us in society actually need help. why. let's get rid of the wealth and income and that's what they were adopting about it what's kind of hilarious about that is that here is

a man who made his money. preying on the hopes and dreams of middle class working class americans with timeshares you can live the life i have as a billionaire for a fraction of the cause just pay for it later put it on put it on credit. so excuse me if i don't exactly take his his lines and to doing that now the washington post also i think was really interesting is while you have you know someone like him going i'm not going to give money to your campaigns if you don't do this well the washington post reported that more than four hundred millionaires and billionaires will reportedly ask congress not to cut their taxes on a letter this week in response to the g.o.p.'s latest tax plan and congress now some people who who have signed into that are ben and jerry's ice cream founders ben cohen and jerry greenfield fashion designer eileen fisher billionaire hedge fund manager george soros and philanthropist stephen rockefeller center you have rockefeller. and you go over to who soros.

there we go here all these people who also manage that i don't need a tax break we don't need a well you don't need a tax break you obviously have millions to give away to political campaigns and get a write off on it you get to write off your sexual assault weapons i mean what else do you know it's really interesting because you're going along with the old the whole idea for the rich is always that well the reinvestigate called the head of trumps national economic council sudden interview with c.n.n. b c this week i don't believe that we set out to create a tax code for the world to everything that our tax system is a system is meant to encourage investment that's always the excuse you hear you know you cut taxes for the wealthy you trickle down economics the. yes the more i guess they invest in campaigns is really where that extra money goes doesn't actually they can truly just stack the game in their favor as opposed to the rest of us but what's interesting is one of the other signers of the letter robert bob crandall a former american airlines c.e.o.

said i think a tax cut is absurd i have a big income if my income gets bigger i'm not going to invest more i'll just save more and that is really true most ek and anybody follows economics realizes that most of the super wealthy they just save money they save money and they have money yeah that's how you get to be that way. well. that's. in april of two thousand and fourteen the city of flint michigan changed public water source to the flint river and failed to include corrosion deterrent. liquids to which which will cause the lead to lead from old pipes into the water supply as of now november twenty seventeen the remaining lead pipes in flint won't be completely replaced until twenty twenty but a recent study from daniels grossman and david university of kansas and a west virginia university show that we don't have time to wait using public health

records birth and death certificates the researchers compared fetal death rates and miscarriages and flint to fifteen other michigan cities from two thousand and eight to two thousand and fifteen those cities that had not changed their water supply and compared them with the data suggests that influence fetal death rates rose fifty eight percent and thirty rates fell by twelve percent in that time of course the michigan department of health and human services a mediately complained that the study was flawed and they would have to do their own study of the study which really explains the problem at the heart of flint the state local government responsible for the problem just doesn't want to be responsible for any solutions or the effects as an activist melissa maze told rewire there have been far too many miscarriages to count it's sad because we have no idea what the heavy metals percentage products bacteria and whatever else we have been and are still being exposed to has said to our bodies well our sons have

low sperm counts how long how many young women will not be able to become mothers because their eggs are poisoned we just don't know and the state of michigan just wants to sweep it all under the rug like it's all in the past who. gives me more angry than hearing that once again the people of flint because oh guess what there are a poor community they don't have a lot of money and the people in the community of flint so let's just you know just look at how they don't give a lot to come and pay. yeah here's it flip it still doesn't have clean water and people were poisoned period i don't understand why that's an issue that you actually have to your leg ask people to care about the pro-life. it's very strange to me so the michigan department health and human services while on the one hand is saying oh no babies were harmed during our poisoning and others it was lead poisoning boys thank you very much as yeah i like whoops but they've also revealed this year and another report that grand rapids michigan which by the way has the

largest population of children in the entire state has the highest amount of of children living there that they children there have tested high for lead three out of the last five years. so let me get this right so the risk you're going to part of held for someone who poisoned flightless that i could watch boys get poisoned first place there are no saying the children of the babies in the mothers were miscarriage and i go there because if you look over here in another part of the state the children there have really high levels of lead but we're not seeing the same what well they're like we have this problem elsewhere but it's fine they're fine it's only about the last three to five years three in the last five years that they've shown that they have really just blows my mind why is that was terrible i want to ask you though this really though which interesting you brought up to me

earlier today this really comes down to the right to choose it really does not and you people put those two things with those things together. choosing when to head when to have a family or if to have a family is a fundamental right whether it's written down or any kind of magical you know scripture of democracy or not how choosing not just what to do but choosing one to have that child choosing how to do that that's a huge fundamental right but economics can dictate how healthy you are. refer to lety or if you have to live in a neighborhood likely in a city like flint where your only chance of drinking water in your bathing in this stuff is really bad. so poverty sort of dictates how your fertility is taken care of or what access you have to these things and one of the things that i thought was really interesting is that the study's authors david. assistant professor of economics at university of cantor kansas actually had this to say about why we should take this also seriously it's take

a listen. i think children in america is expensive and resource intensive and we want people to have the number of children they want when they want to have them right that we as americans are very much about individual americans getting to make the choices that are the best for their family and this is a one of the most fundamental ones and the idea that hundreds of families wanted to have a child during this time period and couldn't it's really very very sad. well you know there's so much wrong that took place in major institutions and in the flint story and one of them i think is the is the media going to bet on it and you had you had media is like our democracy now few other places out there that did actually follow this story and stayed with it but not the mainstream they barely picked up on it was interesting as a second part of the study that we're talking about with the miscarriages looked at google trends to see when residents of. you know actually searching for information

regarding lead like when did they start going and saying hey drew a while there's less water. memo citing concerns will lead water was leaked in july of two thousand and fifteen in the lead contamination was confirmed in september of that year but this study confirms that an increase in concern about lead did not occur until september. you know until september twenty fifteen followed by a large spike in searches ingenue. twenty sixteen when the national media finally began to pick up on this story i added the finally right there yes but that's really what it is is that they did they weren't even aware that this is a problem the truth is any amount of. no child nobody here it is twenty seventeen we've known lead shouldn't be there we should be taken care of and i would like my tax dollars to go all right as we go to break or don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics of government facebook and twitter see our poll shows that are too dot com coming up we talked to a great student loan swindle journalist matt taibbi of. bridges the latest on the.

would have better. prepare and hurting one of my my babies says my book was published in the year two thousand more than half a million americans have been killed by guns in the u.s. so i thought. this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves some real scenarios it was interesting to see who actually got hit. on. the subject to track down each gun owner who i'd met golf those years you god i don't know this but we are not. to you. know.

oh. yes to all this is all the. thank you. we often hear that the children are future and nothing equips our children better for a successful future than a quality education so as master-card would say a college degree is truly priceless mel well that's certainly what college administrators in the financial institutions that they do business with would tell you but what aren't they telling you well for one thing economists have largely

rates the conclusion that the student loan bubble is the new subprime mortgage fiasco threatening to set off the next financial crisis and when the student debt is caught up in the bubble the draconian terms imposed by law by loan providers are now causing not only financial turmoil but measurable psychological harm as well to go in depth on what exactly makes this all as them earlier we spoke to journalist and author matt someone who knows a thing or two about financial scams and the bubbles they bring. but it's a multifaceted scam i mean the probably the best bet to it is that most people who enter into play actually britons are teenagers who never made a serious financial decision in their lives and they walk into the financial aid office and they put their name on a doubt apply and in many cases they don't know the difference between. receiving eighty thousand dollars and financially and what they actually mean is terms of paying it off down the road they don't know they're going to be paid much more think that once you figure out interest. and after that there's

a series of things that make this into a scare is sort of a bottomless well of funding for student loans which makes the price of college go up everywhere because it's almost everybody who wants to go to college now can go to college. but the problem is once you get out those loans you can't declare bankruptcy you can't get out of them is the. one kind of debt you cannot discharge and as soon as you miss a payment or get into any kind of trouble she's a crew at a mind boggling rate and there are people who reach old age the security age without ever having touched the principal while he was just breaks my heart just a stream way of starting and as someone has you know answering in the middle ages myself i might my student loan bill has somehow magically gone up over the years even though i haven't got many more education and that's all part of this sort of

you compared it to the big story scam like what took place in the in the movie this staying just how does that how vast matt is this wendell and how many institutions government and private are involved in this. yeah i think it's a it's a gigantic scam that basically encompasses every aspect of the education industry it includes the private colleges includes public colleges it includes the . the government government bodies that do the lending whether it's selling a mayor or the new newly formed navy and. it includes private lenders includes a collection agencies. but the critical aspects are you in the united states studies show that having a college education doesn't really guarantee rushing charges or getting a job but not having a college education pretty much is dooms you to a lifetime of the lowest and most menial work so everybody must go to college if

they have any hope of getting a real job even though the education doesn't guarantee any kind of actual payoff in the end so people end up paying enormous sums of money for an education that turns out in the end to be not what worth much more than a minimum entry fee to the american economy howie i want to this is something that was interesting well you know when i was reading your article about it and other are. recalls in reference to this is it struck me as is is how dangerous is a poor our education system in our kind of future as a society when you have teachers and faculty who are either on purpose or forced to think more like businessmen than educators you know you know over and over again oh she says you know oh it's it's you know the incentives are all wrong everywhere throughout this process colleges have to rethink what the money did a bit because we have to be thinking about they have to be thinking about how that

how they're going to keep their endowment hide how they're going to keep. you know the funds coming in for construction. and how they're going to keep prices high enough and one of the ways that they do this is to continually lobby for more people to have access to the to the educational system that's why you continually hear about new loan programs and both parties although don't help is turned out to be an exception. that everybody seems to be in favor of more lending for students but what you don't hear about is debt forgiveness or lower prices for college that's not the road that people are taking to help kids get into school and help kids get education what they're what they're doing is they're helping them get lending so they can pay for an overpriced education so that everybody makes money at. what there is so much about that as we look for it's al if you know all of the people who are sitting there with this debt load that in some places as a same as

a house. are these student loans going to burst is this market going to burst the way that the mortgage crisis and not dead but in that they're the two the two are pretty similar at the swindles it's you're investing in your future you can afford this it'll be fine and then suddenly you're left with your credit is shot even even if you pay on time because you have such a debt load. it if that market bursts could that be the push maybe for the you know loan forgiveness or could that be the reason that we actually start looking at this market. it's possible the two situations are very similar and a couple of ways one is the sort of endless availability of credit you know priti you thousand and eight pretty much anybody who wanted to get a house you get a house you could walk into a kind of a company like countrywide it. no id no proof of employment and get out there was no problem with it and it's kind of the same street situation with

education now. if you get into a school it's moralists doable for everybody to get the funding to go it may take a little bit of you know some machinations to work it out but pretty much everybody gets the one difference is that the government has virtually unlimited power to collect on those loans so the default rates aren't quite as high as they were in mortgages where people just walk away from their homes and banks for closing the properties it doesn't happen to us and in this case the debt never goes away you can't just walk away from your student did it follows you to the grid pretty much literally. so yes yes that bubble could collapse but it's less likely than it was in two thousand and eight i think the youth the more likely it the destroyed change here is just political i mean you saw this with the campaign of bernie sanders people want free higher education and i think that's going to become more of

a thing going forward. as allegations of impropriety turned legal charges and growing calls for action hollywood continues to reel from perhaps the largest string of scandals of storied century long history promising a perfect storm that will likely subside any time soon widespread outrage in the form of a take back the word workplace large took place this weekend fueled by the trending me courage meant to publicize similar problems pay to harvey weinstein survive hollywood on sunday to take on multiple women came forward to accuse harvey weinstein a hollywood producer of sexual misconduct. also twenty high profile men in a variety of industries including doors to k. to that list after a male model claimed sexual assault after an incident in one thousand nine hundred eighty one k. has denied these allegations and claims that russian bots are spread in the story however some of the most disturbing allegations do come from weinstein's quote army of spies in new york reports of weinstein use

a team of lawyers and private investigators including former israeli intelligence officers to subvert and intimidate his accusers article describes tactics that were allegedly used to gather information from weinstein as accusers and one example a private investigator posed as a women's rights activists and then meeting with rose mcgowan a gallon has emerged as one of the most vocal in hollywood about sexual abuse and harassment in the industry she wrote on october twelfth on twitter why is the rapes are in new york times earlier reported that weinstein paid a financial settlement of one hundred thousand dollars to me gallon in one thousand nine hundred seven over an incident at the sundance film film festival and inspired by hashtag me to campaign supporting and empowering survivors of sexual abuse to speak out hundreds of women to gather at hollywood's dhobi theater has take me to survivors march included women marching with protest placards and signs all detailing personal stories of abuse and messages of support for survivors the march

the coalition for clean air found that twenty three to forty six of every one million children might develop cancer from inhaling diesel exhaust while traveling to and from school in those buses the threat may be a thing of the past because automotive manufacturers are and it's thomasville buses division revealed julie this week a completely electric school bus that has one hundred mile range with one battery and more could be added to extend that stand that range the bus will also have one hundred one hundred twenty volt and u.s.b. ports for students to charge devices and s.s.d. as the future becomes more technologically driven there's really can carry eighty one students is silent create zero emissions and could save tens of thousands of dollars per year every bus in fuel costs with cleaner sources of electricity right around the corner it looks like electric school buses will be keeping the air cleaner for generations to come whether they will make the kids easier for the bus drivers to deal with though that might take

a little bit longer. but that is cool that is really cool i'm really happy to see something like that especially when you see that immigration and now you're seeing it. is putting a brand of trucks that are all you know electric. tesla semis coming out which. i mean every time you look at it you know the idea to look at school bus especially for public school buses is that for every one of those kids that's a car that isn't on the road that you're not so if you have eighty kids you're looking at anywhere from sixty eight cars that are on the road in the morning and if we're making them safer for the kids school buses were not the same with this thing when we were well below the yellow. thing i was going to say is that the one thing i didn't hear anyone mention is one of the going to put seat belts in the school bus for anyone who rode a school bus with never a seat belt so like metal backs in the streets very bizarre i'm glad we made it their childhood the big city and way of them how lives are that is our show for you today remember everyone in this world we are now told your loved ups would tell you all i love you i am tyrrel been to and on top of the wall and keep on watching

those hawks out there and have a great day and night everybody. give us. a. little. dose you don't consume don't jell you've been talking to the whole jay there in the postings on the bus and in that are equal when its own citizens i want equal distance make that connection don't consume don't leave don't see don't mean

below you'll live up to those on board in unison this is a downside acid of all to the sitting on. it's the cradle of jazz. this is america is the america we have. to know as dysgenic feeling. a city of climatic catastrophes of alligators on. the lose of poverty and crime the years by the least number of them are close most. of street racing in the heat of the night this is new orleans. the best place in the world.
