into the feeder system to the great lakes this is the complete opposite this is like no we're going to go take seven million gallons from the lake and brought up china and what they've dealt with in this is chinese company this is what they've done with the china national survey of pollution levels of cadmium nicole arsenic copper mercury early lead chromium zinc and all the wonderful alphabets of the most of those things bring severely exceeded legal limits in their country in two thousand and sixteen the chinese government started investigating heavy industries and what they found led them to shut down eighty thousand mills and factories in addition they're investing heavily now in the remediation of poison soul and soil and that think that that could turn into a thirty billion dollar a year industry by two thousand and twenty five just cleaning up the ones left over for your actor is like this exactly because they were looking at it anywhere from you know it could be two thousand and fifty before they've made some of these areas usable data which is why these companies are moving out because now places like
6:01 pm
china are putting in stricter regulation now the idea of sucking this water out of the great lakes this one factory would not put this particular area and how much there's a cap for each specific township or county that pulls water of the great lakes there's a cap to how much they can pull out per day so the one that they're pulling out of which is receiving him in their water they have a sixty gallon sixty million gallon per day ok so they have seventy they're pull out about seventeen million a day now you add the seven which will clearly not be seven it'll be way more seven million so now you're getting higher up there and when i talk about the radium issue this is i'm thinking five ten fifteen years in the future you can do that with politicians and businesses and so i'm not all that is if you you know there's world's not very strong a lot in terms of that are you crazy i am short term gain yet i have never had to be a terrible politician i think about this so we have the radio show and if you look at a map you see where the rate we. if this is not the radium battle in wisconsin is there
6:02 pm
a wall along that eastern the eastern coast of it along the lake and what you're seeing is some of the some of the except percent of wisconsin residents get their water from the well either it's a city well that pulls it up and cleans it or their own home wells so when those wells because we keep having to dig deeper and deeper and deeper the more water we take on groundwater they eventually start hitting all of these rocks as for the radium and so naturally occurring or radioactive as it goes through it falls in the water you can't use that water so more and more cities like walker's shop which i said one of this very long. track just to get approval for this water one more and more companies like foxconn come in and scott walker is going to keep making these deals eventually there isn't going to be enough water for everybody and you're not going to build a pole more water out of the wells out of out of wells eventually it's going to be into the watershed and everybody is going to hit their caps and i tell you they will sell those politicians will side on the side of factories and they will not care what happens to me so the people yelling about this law their water demand is
6:03 pm
a major issue and i just want to start it up so that overgrow the cape town not having any water left you know let me just out of nothing this is ridiculous we've got to we've got to get control of this because you know it's a little thing like fresh water where you only needed to live now as we go to break or quarters don't forget to let us know we have a good topics to cover that there's going to see our poll shows that are to dot com coming up we are talking president donald trump of the state of the state of the union and all of that big fun stuff with the big picture is all i'll say to you watching the. banks geysers financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause a report. released a memo mom. discipline as republicans are billing it as some kind of silver bullet
6:04 pm
revealing political corruption at the highest levels of the department of justice and f.b.i. the democrats on the other hand and their supporters in the liberal media call it a distraction finally the public will decide you seen years ago i traveled across the united states exploring america's deadly love affair with a gun if a bad guy tried to get to one of my family members he would have better life better and i think they are inheriting one of my my babies says my book was published in the year two thousand more than hoffa million americans have been killed by the phone to the us how to thought to me as i did this this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves in a real scenario so it was interesting to see who actually got hit by the gun i just saw i did to return to the subject to try to down each gun owner who i'd met
6:05 pm
and photographed those years ago i don't know this but we are not. in an age of personalized social media feeds in a nation a largely living within partisan echo chambers devoid of all opposing opinions it is rare to see a single event bring our entire political spectrum together for a shared cultural experience the present state of the union address is one such instance eclipsing the rest of the country's political news cycle and drawing millions of eyeballs on a single podium at the heart of the nation's capital a president saying and leave unsaid can very well defined not just the rest of the
6:06 pm
week's cable news cycle but the next year of washington's political climate or alternatively with a president who is often left miles daylight between bombastic promises and actual policy decisions such speeches made after all the fuss turned out to be nothing but an entertaining meaningless distraction to discuss how president drugs first official state of the union address may or may not in back to close in the long run we're joined by the one the only holland cook host of our days of the big picture. always always a pleasure to have you want i want to start there we've lived through quite a few state of the union is that all you've lived through what if you say that you need a lot of different presidents george did obama blow the drum. you know are they as pivotal important as the kind of bait out to. really in today's day and just kind of more cable do. is reading too much of that with tends to be the latter this is the super bowl in the sport of politics anybody who cares will be watching but and
6:07 pm
i'm going to date myself with this story let me tell you one thing the t.v. audience might not see but will hold everyone in the chamber breathless and i sale date myself summer of one thousand nine hundred seventy three just at a college picture johnny depp was actually having to go so me and a pal of mine were living in massachusetts at the time first time ever came to washington we drove down we got passes from senator kennedy's office when we got into the watergate. when john dean was testifying and when modine entered the room when she walked in everybody held their breath tonight's analogy is when. after being humiliated with this story of the shell corporation and delaware on her thirtieth wedding anniversary that's the part you won't see on t.v. but i guarantee you will hypnotize the room are going to be watching i think it's
6:08 pm
awful i really do i have my issues with the president but i legitimately at this point feel bad for monica she's. he's not doing or any favors so it was a hey even those of us who disagree this is another instance i think night where we might see something different i'm not i'm not saying it's going to be like president obama getting. but he's definitely going to maybe try a somewhat more bipartisan or conciliatory approach but the republicans elected you know the outlier right so do they want him to reach across the aisle or do then i mean does that even work and you know with all of this sort of like you know resist saying and all this boycotting in the speech we're going to wear black and wear the pens do you think that is the. is that even like that or is that a reality that he could even do that is there any chance that he's not going out we
6:09 pm
had a fight one year ago february twenty eighth twenty seventeen it was not officially a state of the union but it was an address to the joint session and god bless him he stuck to the script and he looked really presidential and the afterglow was great for about a day because then jeff sessions recused himself muller got appointed and then all dissipated it's virtual so it's on a family all moment seize the moment there are the bite of the night moments you'll recall perhaps richard nixon said one year of watergate as an example and bill clinton to clear the era of big government is over and yet so there are not only a bite of the night and this is what we'll churn for the next day and a half on cable news and i'm sure that they've been tapping away at the laptops in that well catered conference room a poet house telling them do this don't do that can't you read the signs and if he's smart he will stick to the prompter and hopefully nothing will not come out of
6:10 pm
the box a day later you know it's interesting when you mention the speech he gave last february of that all that kind of controversy that diluted all of. you know with this bill what will his state of the union it was it could have the same kind of short shelf life because you know let's be honest not a lot of what he promised in that speech last february he is at all lived up to at all lived up to very little and i quote dying industries will come back to life how the coal mine is doing now i think he brought the cold war back he got a call that ag our military will be given the resources it's brave warriors so richly deserve they're still scraping by crumbling infrastructure will be replaced our terrible drub drug epidemic will slow down this opioid things out of control horse and of course will be a wall but the thing to remember with donald trump is. his supporters take him seriously but not literally right his detractors take him literally but not
6:11 pm
seriously there isn't going to be a wall or what they want to punish him for that because of course he meant it metaphorically what they are getting nervous about is amnesty and what happened to repeal and replace obamacare so he's got an opportunity tonight to deliver a well crafted message if he can if that donald trump shows up if he can just control himself. is really hard to get but it's interesting that you bring back because that was that's one of the first environment or was it was bill clinton's state of the union when he said that like it's all of which looking back now. the government was over really never going to figure that it's huge it's usually one of the big much of the criticism that faced over the last year from the media has been focused on his tone and his style tone something we're going to hear a lot about. there of town exactly there's no doubt and i think his problem is he's tone less it's just. all it please do is base but you're right it's gauche
6:12 pm
versions of. the what easy fixes could trump try to make in this speech to sort of placate some of them fairly placate but make it easier for certain people to sort of listen to his message maybe find a middle ground what kind of things could he do to just take back a little bit it's a question i've been asking my twitter followers and i've asked an expert lisa ghosh a from there really hills manners. consults major corporations oscar winning actor zz and everybody in between and i asked her lisa if you were in the conference room of the white house planning the speech what advice would you give the president and she said. i would advise president trump to highlight his achievements but i would also tell him to do that in
6:13 pm
a way that is less self-congratulatory and a little bit more self deprecating i think that we've experienced him patting himself on the back a great deal and it would be nice to see a bit more of a humble side and if we're talking about manners in my expertise i think that when he makes his communications that he should become a little bit more aware of body language and not to cross his arms or point fingers and to eliminate some of the hyperbole that he's used in the past no name calling no mention of fake news and really trying to rise above the fray and take it to a take this next year and so forth into a more mature level if only if i came out well is a thing of go whenever he just goes down every time you know when they go low we go high wire there's
6:14 pm
a lot of language to you know this moose. really strikes and this whole thing of. the day is just a dog and pony show is a t.v. day parade of people out and they say let's cry for the soldiers of the widows or whatever it is everybody gets up and claps but everybody's style the president promises a bunch of stuff he's not going to deliver the military pieces everybody give a shout out to everybody going out to the balcony everybody because the day it's. nothing it's all show in my opinion we're going to cure cancer. hopefully do but it's a t.v. show and that's i think kind of the sad state of a politics i understand there's always got to be a little pop and circumstance of politics and it should be got out of our like out of respect for the reverence of it that it country not that it's a sporting event like somebody. rather than feel i think whether it's went out the
6:15 pm
window when that congressman hollered at obama you know or a. really good point and i wonder. you know when we. were going to kind of look back at this stretch of. oil we really lost that that beautiful thing about having really great leaders get up speak from their heart this is what i hope to see happen not make promises not appease everybody in the audience and just speak. well will anybody do it as well as they. could hold the room and. even w. who is not a great public speaker member that first speech after nine eleven one. moment we were all america everybody and it's hard that i wish we didn't have to have a tragedy to realize that we're all americans that we all suffer from the same injustices that it doesn't matter. you can end up on the bottom of the
6:16 pm
top and that's the whole point of. christie is that we're a community and we work together i think that gets lost in what i do which drives shows up you know then i would lose i really started off talking it was all right you know to have their go is a pleasure of you all and goes to the big rigs of darks all right but. for three years the disabled children from moscow school one away have had a yearly treat one that not only gives them a day off from school in a magical experience but one that teaches them the most important lesson of all that of love each year they're taken for a husky taken from husky driven sled rides through snow drift trails of moscow's sokol miki park and as alex and suso a teacher at a school went to a put it the husky lawyers are important quote because it's a chance for them to distress to experience real emotions when they see that they are loved unconditionally that their loved for who they are and to the children and teachers the school one
6:17 pm
o eight and the indigenous people from the arctic region of chukotka who take care of the dogs of the park we love you unconditionally and most definitely are that is our show for you today those tablets those we love you lumber in this world were not told with love that love so i tell you all every night i love you i have that i wrote them for and on top of the quality by watching those talks never a great day for. them i'm actually. this little bundle of joy he would have no children of civilizing in the womb to me mother is going to be with one kind of a time but usually a good business tool. every year. china puts
6:18 pm
a lot of effort into making up for this cruel mistake of nature. is just. china's panda breeding has become something of a production line. it's almost as though they've been copied three d. printed and put on show for the public. several cubs are born here each year. but only left work by dedicated scientists will be from the think if pendant of can't be encouraged in captivity it's not as though they don't practice until but in the same lazy way they do everything else this proud mommy gave birth to twins and has no idea that a special love potion was formulated just for the. this
6:19 pm
is holland kentucky. over all of this group them boys it was very funny. a co money city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal mines the fed. live to these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happening it's happened.
6:20 pm
i. b.b.c. is accused of bias is the u.k.'s house of lords questions the corporation's brigs it coverage following the release of damning reports we hear from one of the office . i think is pretty poor but a public broadcaster askew sometimes dramatically in this direction on the political issue. trump is caught saying that he'll definitely release the contents of a controversial classified memo alleging abuse of surveillance powers by the f.b.i. .
6:21 pm
israel is to sue to new zealand to sue illegibly convince the pop star lord to cancel her tell of it comes. to have you with us this evening you're watching r.t. international. the b.b.c. has been accused of bias in its briggs it coverage with the majority of its guests said to hold a pro e.u. stance and that's according to several recent reports which have prompted anger in britain's house of lords. for a tree is a pretty much become the supporter over for organizing. for you really do you believe bricks through mr through the dude who said to me recently that his job in brussels is move even more difficult this is return he makes
6:22 pm
a small advance for his problems of mind for the few seeds get to in order because you do have a duty of impartiality. the report was by an organization called civic tasm a amusingly called it the brussels broadcasting corporation and they found that over a long time period ten years up to two thousand and fifteen out of more than four thousand guests who were asked to speak about the european union just a tiny fraction of one hundred thirty two of them were in favor of this but today's report is from the institute of economic affairs and it allies two of the b.b.c.'s key panel political shows if you like so question time and any questions and they found that out of six hundred panelists who were invited over the last eighteen months two thirds of them supported remaining in the european union with just a third of them supporting bricks it not only that but if you recategorized the people
6:23 pm
who did support remaining in the european union but are now implementing it inside the government you'd still have a sixty forty split against bracks it has a little bit of what they're talking about the leave vote has left us with a group of leaders who having lit the fire of all runaway brakes it is a historic mistake for us with it it breaks my heart lie in bed tonight worrying about the outcomes of once again i'm the sole lever on a b.b.c. panel the b.b.c. has sent us a statement responding to this latest i.e. a report it says that these programs are not single issue programs and also that it doesn't just invite. politicians and invites commentators and leading figures from across the life of spectrum in this country it also says the b.b.c. is no longer reporting on this binary choice leave all remain which the electorate faced in the referendum than now giving the public the opportunity to hold
6:24 pm
politicians to account over the way that implementing bracks it we've also contacted several unions and other organizations that represent journalists and we will bring you that response when we get it on the editorial guidelines of the corporation however so that it must be inclusive and reflect a diversity of opinions we spoke to my little would start to general of the institute of economic and first who's behind one of the reports on the b.b.c.'s coverage. but it's true that we are no longer in a referendum period and it is true as the b.b.c. said in a statement by a focus g. with that it's no longer a binary choice but the problem is this although there are a wide range of choices do we leave without a day old do we stay in with a transitional period do we stay in the single market do we stay in the customs union and if so for how long well there are now wide range of options really those range of options are subsets of the remaining camp and believe cap i think it's
6:25 pm
pretty cold that a public broadcaster is skewed that guess sometimes less so dramatically in this direction on the top political issue of the top teams in general in britain the stagnation figures famous figures an influential people have tended to be in favor of a u. membership it's more the ordinary man or woman who rebelled against the political stabber sometimes believe side it seems to me that balancing for people's views on bricks it and making sure you have a fair share of voice from both ends and all ends of the argument should be a very very high priority indeed i think the politicians along with the leave side of the argument those who are in favor of bricks it are beginning to lose their patience with the b.b.c. the b.b.c. with all of you boys take flak for a precise take on the center right combine center left people on the side the left is like the center right and if you are taking sort of equal amounts of flak and criticism from all sides of the debate will perhaps that's a sign that you have to balance but i would say that the b.b.c.
6:26 pm
now should be concerned that there are politicians who are seriously raising in the british parliament in the house of lords a genuine concern about whether they be so you really can be considered a youthful old cost one that doesn't just show a diversity of views but a proper balance and if the b.b.c. starts to lose the fight of politicians in the public in that key question of neutrality then i think over the longer i have a great deal of problem justifying the present funding and possibly even. present basis of their existence. will trump has been caught on a hot mike saying that he'll release a controversial classified memo allegedly detailing abusive surveillance powers by the f.b.i. happened as the president was leaving the chamber following his state of the union address he was asked by republican lawmaker jeff duncan to release them are. all right.
6:27 pm
let's claim that the document reveals the f.b.i.'s abuse of the foreign intelligence surveillance act particularly with regards to claims found in the infamous trump dossier if confirmed it could damage the reputation of the agency and the ongoing investigation into terms alleged links to russia the memo was drafted by the chairman of the u.s. house intelligence committee with senators voting on monday to make it public some of the committee members who read it called it absolutely shocking and worse than watergate president trump himself has till friday to decide whether or not to release it and harris quiney chairman of the conservative think tank the bow group believes the memo could reveal the f.b.i. has been acting with bias and it tried to influence the outcome of the u.s. election. before eddie seen a lot of evidence of this sort of thing of security services collusion and abuse of state power in order to effect a political bias or to operate with brazil biased in order to affect
6:28 pm
a certain outcome the f.b.i. which is supposed to be an agency in the united states that is beyond corruption beyond bias and operates with a completely straight box i think if it is discovered that the f.b.i. has been using their great powers of of surveillance and state intervention towards influencing political outcomes i think that may represent an existential threat to the organization of the f.b.i. itself and it would be very difficult to see how the f.b.i. could continue to to do that if it turns out that they've been operating with a bias. in the reaction to jumps first state of the union address was mixed from standing ovations to boos calmness following it. on foreign policy there was plenty of american exceptionalism mixed with platitudes and cliche's he introduced the subject by naming every so-called threat to the u.s.
6:29 pm
but in general it was all pretty vague he didn't go into detail explaining how he would accomplish any of these goals but beyond that trump took credit for eliminating isis in he seemed to have hinted at continued military presence in the region saying quote we will continue our fight until isis is defeated he ended it with north korea calling it the worst of all dictatorships warning that their pursuit of nuclear weapons could very soon threaten our homeland even though d p r k has never attacked another country before north korea's reckless pursuit of nuclear missiles could very serious threat to our homeland past experience has taught us that complacency and concessions only invite aggression. and provocation i will not repeat the mistakes of past administrations that got us into this very dangerous position while russia and china have been trying to reduce tensions between the u.s. and north korea and they even called on the u.s.
6:30 pm
to not provoke them anymore but somehow they were designated as threats and from speech around the world we face rogue regimes terrorist groups and rivals like china and russia that challenge our interests our economy and of advice in confronting these horrible dangers we know that weakness is the surest path to conflict and unmatched power is the surest means to our true and great effects i was just a watching a mainstream coverage earlier in the only criticism big had well these foreign policy wise was that he was apparently too soft on russia and you know the united states requires to have major enemies to justify the seven hundred billion dollar defense budget which is actually one point one trillion if you break it down so these are all important noises for the president to make the state of the union
