industry is definitely putting their money. into into into capitol hill so facebook amazon and apple all broke records their own company records for the most which is strange since they spent all that money. yet they still had to go up in front of congress and it looked like they guy you know laughed with spaghetti noodles right that's right over here they have a lot of money in the twitter they got blood blasted by congress were you here when you look at it facebook increased their spending by thirty two percent from the previous year you had they spent about eleven million dollars amazon spent thirteen million on in lobbying in washington last year and apple increased its lobbying money by get this fifty one percent fifty one percent so combined google amazon facebook and apple devoted fifteen million dollars fifty million dollars to lobbying efforts and twenty seven teams so again why are they getting pushed around by congress and being treated like the redheaded stepchildren of industry that's

the big question are they really yours or just all like the dog and pony show was the thing is the mayor and i don't know or maybe they're just not very good at lobbying because they're not used to sitting at the top are there no usually the big no i don't ordinarily the loan money you know. in kept on capital you know here in washington are normally. you know telecom and defense to court contractors so. boeing held the top slots you know generally dominated it last year so for tech to come in but that scares me a little bit because you know i was i was an adult living through the last tech bubble and i see a lot of similarities in this idea that it will never end the money's never going to stop it's always going to be amazing except it's not it's not and that's on labor he wakes up one day and reacts there a lot more than they were the day before but at least with the turkey. bubble you

had lots of different technology companies now i'm seeing that same thing that you see all over again we just see the pyramid effect where suddenly it's just one big one to rule them all you know i mean there's really there's what twitter you know what you tube's owned by google i think you know like you just see that that same kind of like thing much like the media entertainment business web site five companies control all of our media now we're seeing the same thing on the internet so to speak words like ok there's like these major companies they control all and what's frightening about that is like i talked about at the start of the show you know is google's ties to the intelligence community that they don't really talk about they deny they say look you know see i didn't start us and they didn't say i didn't start them but there definitely was fingerprints there early early early early on before going on even our google money you know investing in the technology that ultimately became the search engine or go yeah which is obvious i mean i don't think it's that odd or out of line that it's not

a conspiracy theory they do it and fast and other areas they use taxpayer money to do certain areas that they feel would be helpful in defense and maybe any intelligent being cynical but then you have to ask that next question is is if if if i gave you a bunch of money to have it though when you were first starting out i didn't but if i did give you a bunch of money when i first. then later on if you know i came knocking on your door saying hey can you give me a little hand with like being able to spy on these people over here or do a little something like this that may or may not be legal or above board you might be more susceptible to saying well i'm warning how my daughter and oh oh yeah because you know all of them so it's years of there's a bridge down the mass of digital data systems and issued to visit projects sponsored by the n.s.a. cia and the director of central intelligence is managed by dr bob bonnie the resing boy raising i'm sorry if i've messed up your name dr body who told investigative journalist enough you had in two thousand and fifteen we. funded stanford

university through the computer scientists jeffrey allman who had several promising graduate students working on many exciting areas one of them was served a brit the founder of google the intelligence community's m d d s program essentially provided brims seed funding which was supplemented by many other sources including the private sector so essentially was like the early seed funding now before google really became google intelligence community fingerprints and now google's run in congress with that much money it's an interesting interesting change interesting snake right there. in that was filled with hate in their heart against other human beings ever truly see the light well it seems that a former executive member of the state legislative committee in brandenburg germany's far right anti islamic alternative for germany array of tea party hats forty eight year old arthur wagner resigned from the party and his leadership position on january eleventh and he took his shot at the declaration of faith in

islam as part of his conversion to becoming a member of the muslim faith wagner didn't just come to islam overnight though it seems that while as a member of the f.t. he worked for the refugee welcoming committee as an interpreter most of his work having been with muslim chechens fleeing persecution and while the party swears that his conversion was not to an issue for them and wagner says he left the party for personal reasons it's hard to imagine an islamic convert being welcomed in a party that believes quote islam does not belong in germany we see the ideology of my multiculturalism as a serious threat to social peace and cultural unity so i wonder are the days of extremists parties posing as legitimate political movement starting to weigh in as even their top members find peace with their former enemies boy i certainly hope so i mean i would i would really love to see this kind of extremism of thought and ideology that we've seen rise up over the last i would say are we most. twenty

years maybe twenty five i've seen this kind of steady growth of that both here in the states and overseas and i hope that people you know like this guy's story words like you have once you begin working with people and seeing them that they're not your enemy seeing that they're human beings like yourselves same wants needs that you get changed over your very dramatic weeks as you know what will be muslim there but i hope that that happens and it's something that is actually right about the actual there's a wave yes there's actually something to this in the madness that somebody who you know as we see it with former klan members and then they start to talk to members of the african-american community and then they sort of become you know the american history x. and things like that you have seen these moments and it's something called contact hypothesis and the idea is that wagner so the idea is is saying that wagner who's of russian descent and speaks russian may have experienced this thing called contact apotheosis while he was working with these chechen refugees so the contact hypothesis says that under appropriate conditions interpersonal contact is one of

the most effective ways to reduce prejudice between majority and minority group members so by spending time in a situation that didn't cause anxiety for someone like wagner who had a bias against islam it allowed him to sort of let go as to have this fear and he was able to overcome it and in overcoming that he found something he found something in that faith of taking away these biases to worry about people coming in and say whatever became more he found something for it you know so it always starts with fear you know yeah all these stories they always start with some basic fear that even a lot of time or the person doing the most hating doesn't realize just how scared they are of the don't know usually where it's interesting because i was a former party leader on the war was asked to leave the dutch far right politician geert wilders freedom party he was kicked out of the party when he converted to the muslim faith and traveled to saudi arabia. the pilgrimage to the back he called his

former life you tile in aimless new you go it's not saying that you know there's one religion better than the other a thing like that but you see these people who use of a lot of hate prejudice and then suddenly overspread will tie was somebody without like i think the key would to use without stress and that is a really big thing about contact hypothesis is that you know when you're standing out screaming at someone you're never going to change my mind which is why the you know anti-abortion protesters aren't really having a whole lot of you know they don't have a lot of success in the ground of having people just change their mind and suddenly right away because you're not coming to them in a hopeful situation or coming to them as a human where he they found common ground he spoke russian and he was for a you know use of russian descent so there was an understanding of called three understood the language and here he was and he opened up and understood something because they both were at a place where the anxiety of their their biases returned how many times to both you

know the activists on the right or activists on the left how many times we had that conversation together in public whatever gets on the show where it is just about communication you can't yell at someone and expect them to sub now in your ideology you know you know that's the key here that with who all right as our go to break or watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we cover the facebook and twitter see our poll shows at our t.v. dot com coming up you may never look at their own coffee the same ever again i'm sorry our team is trinity chavez as the school where we bring part two of johnstone's basnet interview with author doug martin and his investigations into the public versus private school stay till.

i would imagine they'll be another tax reform bill next year just simplified bring in a flat tax before you sell over and don't let someone bring in a fifty percent tax rate across the board but to me the best possible solution to the facts you know question in the us. are the stand. over them with a small. amount of good armor are more trouble than there are rather rough across the four for the america of america. i'm going to let them but i don't question then you can keep an. eye on floozy china for truffle that it is living. below the world

now mine monosyllables a lot of. members are. doing. good for its whole food. the i knew where you're from and pay off big time in syria says. british. model for the africa where for mr hates it for jim and then for hope that our freddie macor. the. when lawmakers manufactured them sentenced to the public will. when the right wing closest to protect themselves. with the famous merry go round listen to the one percent. nothing to

ignore middle of the roots to. believe the real news is real. is the sick fairy him and political polarization comes but if they come back then that will. provide the right circumstances that i can vitamin for the gore i says believe me to get. there's nothing better than a good cup of coffee to help you get through a cross-country flight i don't have the stomach all the body scans and pat downs that make up modern air travel especially when having to fly with

a ventura. but now apparently we can't even rely on airlines providing a simple cup of joe without a scandal or. more if you thought airline food was bad even may be in for an unpleasant surprise one flight attendant talks about some of the secrets of the trade in an interview with vice and what she reveals may completely shock you the next time you see flight attendants coming down the airplane aisle offer included drinks you may have to think twice before ordering your beverage and identified flight attendant who works for a major american airline claims that the water used for coffee could be swimming with e-coli and other bacteria. she said quote don't drink the coffee on airplanes it's the same potable water that goes through the bathroom system we recently had a test for a cola in our water and it didn't pass and then maintenance came on and had a couple buttons and it passed so avoid hot water or tea bottled and ice is fine of

course while spokesperson for airlines for america couldn't speak to the specific remark she denied water on aircraft being unsafe to consume and that the onboard water systems are filled from the same water source used throughout the airport including for water fountains and rush rockets the association for flight attendants told r.t. the association of flight attendants c.w.a. pushed for this regulation over fifteen years ago the regulation gives a broad discretion to airlines on how often they must test the water and flush the tanks while the company believes that this was a big step in the right direction the f.a.a. does not believe this regulation goes far enough or is sufficiently enforced yet the news has garnered mixed reactions. for them to be writing to the three of you can you spending money. on a plane you're spending when you travel and if you give you something that you can you imagine with the food to give even where it's most likely it will make me want to buy water bottled water and just packaged coffee. if the water cannot be

trusted. i think going into any restaurant around here you're liable teach something more hazardous than whatever it is you're serving on the plane so it's something that i'm going to push to the back of my mind and proceed as normal i think. although the water on board planes is regulated under the environmental protection agency's aircraft drinking water rule to ensure safe drinking water on the aircraft last year the agency found one in every eight planes fail the agency's standards and in another study found that fifteen percent of tested aircraft water contained potentially harmful bacteria we reached out to a number of different airlines and while many of them dispute these findings the fact remains that many travelers will still think twice before drinking certain beverages on the plane reporting in new york trinity chavez r.t. . wow. you know people always say oh that seems like a loser you know like why is project of that because i'm sorry airline travel is essential for daily lives and the bag there that there's

a threat of eternal life or least the accusation brought out program well this might be from the toilet this could be because wow that's just you know. it's not going to stop me from coffee i needed that and one that was there and i got is i'm sorry but airline travel has in my opinion as has just follow balranald all in not just since nine eleven but i mean you compare like when you see like old movies and things like that and like how they treated airline travel back in like the fifty's and sixty's it was it was something that like you did and were treated to comfort you were you know they took pride in the quality of the service quality of everything you're not saying that the flight attendants them are trying hard it's more that the airline i don't think is trying hard no no there's no there's there isn't all that much trying especially for the right to do art it's like you just got to give people a couple of averages and not be snarling and stuff but you know i think were the days of

a lot of domestic air flight airplane travel could be gotten rid of well you know some better speed rail rails or as they say i think could actually serve people a lot of that are a good point. we may think of elementary schools either in the stall jigme memory or for anywhere near politics or media as a burning dumpster fire of an embarrassment to us society. but up until recently much of america never really thought of the field as a commercial industry just like any other side for perhaps noticing the financial success of occasional break up products like hooked on phonics or the most churn of kaplan prep courses up until that is the rise of betsy to boston education secretary complete stranger to the practical world of education and figurehead of what activists and parents across the country see as an organized push to privatized education and commercialize the entire k. through twelve system for more insight on this rising national debate and how it is played out of a local level in the indiana school system sean stone earlier sat down with doug

marman investigative journalist and author of hoosier school heist but trump has as promised in terms of. he's during his campaign certainly seem to be an advocate of privatizing public education broadbent's he develops obviously and to to run the education department you mention to devote family having tremendous ties to the overall process of privatizing public schools so a tells me more about what a diverse family has done in that on that along that agenda and what they're what betsy devotes is trying to spearhead now. yeah twenty team one those are trying to twenty two thousand and seven two thousand and eight there was a political process in indiana collusions for economic growth pact this money was they were receiving money from something called the american federation of children which is run by bessie the boss and the walton family so what they did was they

funneled millions of dollars into indiana in twenty ten and into. the past which was registered under james bopp jr's address james buck jr is the more behind citizens united he's in terre haute and they were funneling money he into his that address and then they were shifting it not only to the republicans in indiana but to republicans and pro-choice people all across the country we're talking millions of dollars i looked into the campaign. yesterday and in twenty sixteen i believe it was jim walton from the wal-mart family gave something like four hundred thousand dollars to this pac just in one year so we had like in twenty two we had about thirteen really wealthy people that were involved in this and some in indiana was i'm not in the hedge fund managers in pennsylvania people that were connected. and that's what the boss and and walton has done

for for education they are part of the christian right to believe that they have. being put on the earth to spread god's word and that jesus basically is the captain most of stairs so they truly believe that they are on some talk a mission for god to do all this i don't know about what family but one family in visions of a school system where we have a little charter school on each block just like you have a wal-mart walking the stab at those talked on your show before when walmart towns in the community all the mom and pops stores close down and the town there's not much left of the town so that's what they they see for education a little walmart charter school law and we talked a little bit about how standardized europe you know was there and i said occasion doesn't necessarily breed more intelligent. critically thinking people. in the

public school system in general maybe you know may not be most conducive why is it that you wouldn't you wouldn't argue for the you know that the of charter schools and private private education allowing for people to basically educate their children more we obviously see the movements going on of homeschooling taking place don't you think that the private schooling allows for more freedom of educating kids the way that parents and maybe the community wants to educate them i see your point yeah i do but at the same time if you look at indiana and i believe this is pretty much it cross the country most of the money for school vouchers are going to private schools from the christian right that's for the good majority of it is going and these people do teach a biblical capitalism ideology and are there's there's a whole history of racism there's

a history of sexism discrimination against people who are different so those are the schools that are getting most of the money in indiana and crime. not the private schools that cost a lot of money really well. as far as where you know i mentioned earlier but about how trumpet said during his campaign he wanted to privatized the book education system and how is this actually going as far as you know the initiatives that bette davis is spearheading now in the trump administration. yeah trouble had promised a lot more than he's actually been able to accomplish since terms of school budgets has not been much much talked of that lately now the boss has given out something like two hundred fifty three million dollars to each expand charter schools across the country indiana receiving about sixteen million so that is taking place the school. the bait is kind of been pushed into background somewhere

. and how would you say it what should the nature of public school reform really look like i mean there's always going to keisha need some level of reform how do you how would you spearhead that. i don't know i mean i think at this point. it's probably impossible to make any real change and we live in a society that if you have certain things you want to discuss you you basically cannot discuss them serve you were if i were the secretary of education i said we want to teach howard zinn and all the public schools you know that probably isn't going to go over well and your question about homeschooling actually i was talking to someone from indianapolis yesterday in a lot of the progressive people in indianapolis are dropping their kids out of the schools because it's not working for them the charter schools are not working for

him they they really don't want to send them to a christian right school so that the homeschooling them is is an option for a lot of people absolutely became more so doug martin thank you so much for joining us and really appreciate your work and keep going keep going at it. thank you so much. two decades ago dolly's seat was born opening our eyes to the realities of cloning and although you might not have opened up all of the success that many of hoped chinese scientists have succeeded were all the other mad. scientists failed to genetically identical long tailed macaws are the first primates successfully cloned using this somatic cell nuclear transfer method of inserting the nucleus of a cell into an egg that has had its nucleus removed however these cute little primates weren't cloned for me was meant they turns out the scientists hoped they would be used for research on the effect of d.n.a. has an effect on d.n.a.

of disease mechanisms and for the screening of drug effect of mass but science has a way of doing the impossible sometimes at least initially for some. we are some very humane reasons thankfully there are many alternatives to primate testing for research now so the primaries are good for primate clones isn't that big may be a. fair worry but people are next for the clone mystery as well were are still off far far far away away from that at least that's what my clone told me you have clones so you think you could do just one person can do very well i'm so jealous i don't know how close you know it takes a village a clone takes a village to travel to those to do her job of rebuilding or that is our show for you today remember her reply was world we're not told we love the job so it's ok well i love you i have to roll back and i have to have a wallace watch of those arcs of a great figure that everybody. you

know one of the things we saw in this entire campaign leading up to trump selection was very little discussion of the facts nobody said look you know you may be the smartest person in the world in your area of treating people. in the real estate market but when it comes to actually understand economics you have no background i think any you know a good economist could possibly have won that election had the press paid in that attention for that. here's what people have been saying about redacted in the night with the sixty's full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that

really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than food let's see some people you've never heard of love redacted tonight my president of the world bank oh ok because we're going to seriously send us an e-mail. everybody i'm stephen bob. taft hollywood guy you know suspects every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and our visa to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different i'm just going to harness you know windows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have some fun meet every day americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people.

yes i was pretty hurt with the market for your. help in the last election imo yes i will do more it's almost the young thing we will all soon but you know one of the most often little bushes i saw. campaign thank you paul. i know you do the you know the middle of the scouts nor were you the new cooks police you know t.g.v. easy job freedom looks good. he was more than a million bucks. the prosecutor the irish so you can you get other corners people up in your neighborhood getting us all myself messing up us.

most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand down lose business you just need to ask the right questions and demand the right answer. questions.
