it when i was school age and incident something like this where it was a trainer but it was for the men's men's team and i watched that get covered up so nefariously from the day it even like got out and stories and that part that really hurts because that's what hurts victims that's what hurts fixing these issues one of the two time olympic gold medalist mckayla maroney she's known for being the one who made that face and now i want to when she was on the stand and now i think maybe that's because she saw him standing there. she wasn't able to speak because her settlement with this is where you know there's culpability in the us jim that usa gymnastics had her sign an n.d.a. and i gag order so she wouldn't talk it got to run through the agreement was a confidentiality clause and it not only was a confidential cross call clause but it also said that she would be fined one hundred thousand dollars if she spoke so she wasn't going to be able to speak at this hearing. without getting fined which is interesting it took some you know hot

someone from hollywood to actually step up model chrissy teigen offered to pay one hundred thousand dollar fine for her and actually it's interesting because chrissy teigen has done a number of things like that were stepping up for women in situation in the school like this and putting our money where our mouth is which is what everyone should do at this point the courts actually. did the right thing but usa gymnastics and the u.s. olympic association doesn't fact need to deal with this i need to take culpability just as the church had to take a call so if you want to happen then and penn state had to and i would even with your say that the church still hasn't taken all to make culpability for the you know for what they did especially in moving guys around so they wouldn't be charged with this and to me this is one of those things yes the crime as egregious yes no one wants to believe that this could happen in their community or with this you know great institution or with this great man the piles around and flies on me or jets with movie stars and other moguls but at the end of the day they're attacking

kids what you need to say i'm out of is enough. social media is buzzing but not from the latest round of celebrity gossip or political foot and mouth now this week at an unrelated senate hearing twitter's director of public policy at the level required of us monday announced that the company is now working hard to identify and inform individual users if their feed is was or has been exposed to those notorious kremlin propaganda trolls we've all heard so much about parties david miller has the story. amid pressure from capitol hill twitter is exploring how to notify its users that they sold russian propaganda during the two thousand and sixteen election the director of public policy for twitter did not elaborate how twitter would do that or if the company would alert users who saw tweets from russian accounts or only those targeted with ads also the question remains of twitter would seek to impose a notification towards r t after recently the company has been banned from

sponsoring tweets on the site and after sharp criticism that it has failed to respond to lawmakers demands twitter's announcement does come amid pressure from capitol hill urging the company to do more to battle allegedly russian this information twitter failed to meet a deadline to answer questions sent from members of congress and previously reported that it found roughly two thousand seven hundred accounts tied to the i r x and also ran a number of ants during a two thousand and sixteen election by r t and democratic senator richard blumenthal has been a sharp critic of also some media concerning meddling and wants the platforms to notify all users who had wittingly viewed what he calls russian propaganda twitter pushed r.t. for a large ad buy for the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election but the channel did decline the offer an exclusive twitter offer was eventually declined by r t due to the excessive price tag and a lack of confidence on behalf of r t that this campaign would benefit the network

. correspondent david miller with an interesting point you know this just so gets under my skin at this point because i'm sorry with the amount of money that the democrats republicans parties spent on this election in social media ad buys probably got far more influenced by something coming out of the hillary camp or the trump camp than some independent troll factory just basically by getting putting out click bait per click so they can get paid at the long run it's so absolute. ridiculous this propaganda this russian propaganda scare that they're seeing here it's like the war on christmas is about israel and to be it's like that we've been wrong with it again it goes back to that you get the feeling in the back of your mind are you guys just still looking for some kind of an excuse than like from here on out because now the big twenty eight what will happen twitter users so stupid that they'll fall for this to me it's like the it's like now the. campaign failed

because i didn't do a good job i can blame somebody else i can blame trip twitter trolls i can blame the democrats for telling people that i most ski individual tried to date children you know there's so many you somebody things well i think it's interesting because fundamentally congress and members of congress do not understand how the internet works they do not understand how social media works because by this continued like what we can of this we can of this this you know the internet research group magical there are so great that they can't hide themselves from twitter apparently there are so good they can change minds of people those millions and millions of votes and minds get into them but that's some serious return on investment for online advertising and quite frankly i think that hillary clinton should have used the internet research company. and she might have won. i don't really think i think this is sort of what i that strange thing of saying at some point you have to look at it like if this is this is our newspaper state and this is just the newspaper

stand of of you know the the twenty first century if you start saying what can be sold on those newspaper stands which is essentially what they're saying but you can't put a russian newspaper or a chinese newspaper you can't but that if we started doing that we would be appalled that you would be telling people well they can't see that newspaper because it says bad things that we don't think are true about america so we have to take it off the stands there's something tangible to that was social media people look at it like it's not as tangible it's just this ephemeral thing that you can just protect in a little bubble and manipulate and manipulate. i think that's i think it's just as unfair you shouldn't be telling people that is our choice to make as americans that is a god given our god given whatever you believe in or an atheist the universe gave us these things as human beings these are our liberties these are our freedoms yes that's ours to do with what we learn when it's not are you but you don't get to tell me what i'm supposed to think and you don't get to say i can't read something i can't look at something and that i think it brings up the bigger thing where does

this all this does feel like you know this new pressure on social media companies to root out fake news and i like all of that it's like leave it up educate the audience to be able to tell the difference between what's real and what's and then but let it be out there because this to me seems like backdoor censorship at the end of the day all right as we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter and see our poll shows at our dot com coming up we present part two of john still going to be with office of survival of the richest jeffrey i want to miss that so. with the islamic state and its many confederates defeated or facing defeat in syria what is next for this war torn country what justification exists for the u.s. to maintain military forces there does washington want syria partition itself and

why. thank you. thank. you it was the most populist of times it was the greediest of times and they quite make sense in our conflicting world where socialism populism and unrivaled corporate greed seem to thrive all at once in a world where the hottest political trends setters are the socialist stirrings fueled by bernie sanders and the populous undertones of donald trump's twenty sixteen campaign yet a resurgent wall street blooms on the news of what many may call the biggest corporate giveaway in modern history just when it feels like we're magically taken back to a centuries old popular economics movement pioneered by william jennings bryan and he long the public wakes up once more to a policy making team dominated by you guessed it the omnipresent wise guys from

goldman sachs so in a complicated world like ours who are the politicians. a true populace can turn to for inspiration this is just what shuts down asked of donald jeffries author of survival of the richest well they're not too many of them left in congress i love cynthia mckinney who was in congress when she was run out of congress i love dennis kucinich he was in congress he's not going any longer either. i'm not sure there are very many i'm sure that i don't keep up with the politicians much that he's there because i've become very disillusioned with them but. on that issue as far as i know he longs out there i mean there was i wish you luck and of a whole chapter huey long and you look at most people will not even have heard of him unless they are from louisiana certainly he was considered a bit like i did say a populist right to get a job as my of the present day might be to become apparent to huey long but his whole you know concept of basically trying to create a socialist but really noble the working man the poor to make every man a king was

a slogan. what were the positives of his regime as as governor well you can look online and see this stats from the he long website that he saved and this is why it would differentiate him between from an f.d.r. who he came to oppose strongly or later like l.b.j. and his you know these great society and so forth he didn't he wasn't looking to create big bureaucracies he wanted to change the tax code dramatically and that's what he didn't louisiana the average family so i mean i have the stats in there but they saw significant savings and utility bills foreclosures pretty much stopped personal property taxes were eliminated for almost everyone in the state only the very wealthy pay them anymore so the average family saw savings whereas under like l.b.j. type of plan the average family didn't notice that this is war and poverty was obviously lost there whatever war was going on but he wants tax plan he's been he's been derided as a communist or socialist when in fact the american communist party the american

socialist party hated him in fact the left hates. when he looks like he was really walking the walk of what the left claims and wants to do with his tax plan to share the wealth plan he wanted to exempt the first million dollars that income from taxes and this was in the one nine hundred thirty s. that's about twelve million now so just imagine i mean everyone would like i mean what rich person would love that plan to not pay any taxes so virtually no one would've been paying taxes under his plan he recognized where the money was it was concentrated at the one percent of the one percent and that's who he was looking to go after and that's why he was much more dangerous than f.d.r. or any other kind of left as of this time because he he was really doing things and people to put that's why the poor and he didn't play racial politics unlike any other southerner was time. he was just he was honest and he's my political hero and i wish we had someone like him and he was he was populism defined. do you think you could apply this kind of mean you know obviously huey long was assassinated and

he was never able to really make to really make a presence on the national stage but do you think that there is a pop inability for anyone at this point in our history in the way that our government is designed and it's just so interconnected between the congressional and you know the congressional class the major corporations that finance them the presidency as well it's sort of it's sort of been stripped in emasculated is there any way for any for anyone to get to a position of being you know an f.d.r. a kennedy at this point and say we are going to make reforms that would impact the entire country for the benefit of the taliban while i think the country is so deeply divided and you have perhaps you have the people that are still supporting trump i mean that conservative base who hated him they began with this kind of now coalesce behind him the people that like this plan and you had the people on the left that are i call the social justice warrior types that are there in their own little thing it's hard to find anyone that would agree on that but i think if

someone came up with a tax plan that said the first twelve million dollars for. in the first million today where you don't pay any taxes i don't know who would support that especially if you showed it could work i mean he long had economists that show because the money is consolidated top and people realize how much money is and he was also looking already at the time it foundations and things like that we would get the gates foundation the rockefeller foundation the carnegie foundation things like that we don't even know how much wealth is in there let alone what they're doing but so you have to free up money to go to the masses so they can spend it and live like you a long wanted and he wanted everyone to enjoy the blessings of you know prosperity things grates if you read his speeches today or listen to him he's fascinating the stuff he was saying is that he was advocating a thirty maybe twenty hour work week in the one nine hundred thirty s. he wanted everybody to have a month off vacation every year he was and he was responsible because of the pressure in life for the one hundred thirty eight and the national labor relations act which we take for granted now that's what adopted the forty hour work week and

overtime and started the pension started but now they're being limited of course but these are the things that were all especially republicans they're wanting to eliminate a lot of these things they would love to get rid of over time and that's the way people make more money and. i think that standard is because he long would not believe what was going on now because you know they're going to get rid of these things would be disastrous i think what he was for saying i mean his whole point was look we have greater technology already this was the one nine hundred thirty s. but he's basically we've got a technology we should you know you would think that we that would allow for us to have more leisure time to have you know to depend more on machinery and not upon manual labor and man hours to get as much output and yet we have to this day we have people having to work more hours for less money and it just doesn't make sense but the overall. internet and machinery revolution that we've seen of cross the board why is it that people are having to do so much more labor if we have the

technology to actually as we know it's make things so much more rapid that's actually give us a. more leisure time or relaxation and it doesn't make any sense the main the main benefit of all this technology in the last twenty thirty years has been the incredible executive bonus program that seems to be how much of a bonus can they get every year goldman bro and things like that but you're right i mean with the technology we should probably have a ten hour workweek by this point because there you know there's not with with the dances we've made and they're not even considering the impact that it's going to have on with the artificial intelligence out there they don't even have automated trucks on there for there are so many jobs that can be done now without any human beings but again we don't have any foresighted leadership at all they're not even thinking about what the impacts are they just kind of cavalierly say well you know maybe ten million truckers all lose their jobs or something more one of those truckers going to do fairly.
