a nice little romp between syria you. are various rebel factions are wrong on saudi arabia russia and turkey but now too many chefs in the kitchen. you'll recall that one of the reasons we have to we must bomb the stuffing out of syria is because the syrian government has used sarin gas on their own people chemical weapons well two weeks ago general mattis sheepishly admitted there is no evidence of use of sarin gas and to the washington post credit as you see they they got that headline right for once but here's what c.n.n. here's what c.n.n. ran with mattis war in syria against using chemical weapons. i guess that's one way of saying they haven't used chemical weapons. from time god comes the trump administration just war in syria not to use kind of.
1:01 pm
you keep saying chemical weapons. i do not think it means what you think it means. point is our media and our ruling elite will manufacture war for ever unless we get some antiwar voices in power we. have to do that. luckily there are actually some bold progressives trying to unseat corporate democrats across the country nationwide there is one problem though the d.h. yes well there's probably ninety nine problems but v.h.s. is one. the department of homeland security basically took over our voting system when they declared this critical infrastructure at the end of obama's term this gives the federal government oversight over storage facilities polling places and centralized vote tabulation locations as well as information and communications technology like voter registration database is voting machines and other systems
1:02 pm
used to manage the election process and report results. forgive me but that sounds like all of the things. because. because you know when you're taking a voting system that's ranked worst in the western world and perform gone completely unaccountable machines that no one is allowed to see the code for and you want to find someone really trustworthy to take control of that that of course means the department of homeland security does which is which is headed by here's to nielsen who used to be principal deputy chief of staff under donald trump. you were donald trump he was like our worst president you remember that guy. he was he was awful and she was special assistant to the president under george w. bush. when your resume says donald trump and george w.
1:03 pm
bush on it for your next job you'd be better off submitting a bloody rotting raccoon ahead is your resume. that's your resume you're better off. more likely to get a job so we've taken our horrible voting system which i covered extensively on this show in two thousand and sixteen we took that system and handed it over to a partisan hack at a ridiculous federal agency how horrible is the department of homeland security well on this alert chart right here you can see. the chance is currently at orange high level of. what they've got their eye on severe level of. but some areas of this country are trying to get away from this cat crap traffic voting system pennsylvania wants to move paper exact machines but they can't afford them yet well they're told by the governor that they can't afford them which is. we can afford anything we really want if you're on fire certainly you can afford water no
1:04 pm
matter how much it costs we should declare an emergency of democracy and a lot. all of the money in the world to switch to paper ballots until a block chain system is worked out thanks for ways to cut through the money dump the only problem there thrown in there past the directive is you by governor tom wolfe was only for the for the state to buy paper bag machines if and when they replace their current stock they have folks we will have an accountable election system but you know let's not rush to wait ok let's let's keep using these fraudulent fax machines duct taped to a rotary phone welded to all vibrating bug plugs. programmed by the corporations in line with our corporate politicians let's keep using though.
1:05 pm
there's still we have to be purchased new machines and that will give. real democracy thing a look see their lives go to a quick break but since facebook google and youtube are suppressing our content you can also follow me dot com slash at least camp or you can text the word redacted to four board for nine nine nine it's free and quick we'll be back in ninety seconds thank. you for muslims in the spokesmen for. this news that was taken from both of them which the. forces of. war.

six. welcome back door cities and states pass paid sick leave laws there are still people who believe it's a death knell for small businesses yet they are totally fine with their employees looking like death or spreading it around some people just want their listeria infection the same way they want their you know craft beer local. for more on this we go to our senior sic expert now and again now. i can think of a single good reason to oppose paying. i can think of two really yeah this one for small business owners a scale back on other benefits being lay off staff and you know the american
1:09 pm
economic engine does not slow down first not. just with an impending nuclear holocaust we could all stand to be exposed to a few germs the build a tolerance. my local subway doesn't even use gloves anymore. and once i fill out this punch card i'll have the immunity of a retired kindergarten teacher. because it's a good plan as you know my sandwich place they fire the snooze good a bit more firing for small business especially in maryland where lawmakers just approved paid sick leave for seven hundred thousand workers even go lobbyists at the national federation of independent business say it's another harmful policy that has more red tape more record keeping and devastating sanctions for small businesses providing paid sick leave makes sense u.s. employers lose hundreds of billions of dollars in productivity when workers are sick and then they just spread it around the office these laws don't restrict their
1:10 pm
freedoms are real if they didn't why does the federation fighting these laws get millions in funding from a group called freedom partners freedom part of this is some of the scrooge mcduck money pit backed by the koch brothers all that family dies is pollute the earth by all of our politicians and undermine free speech there's no reason the national federation of independent business is any less evil than they are did you not realize the koch funded now because i've been busy trying to get to ten punches on this goddamn thing. right now only post i'm interested in is the fizzy kind coughed on by a seasonal subway employee who skipped a few vaccinations. plus one in the evil group cosign a labor department proposal for restaurant owners to pull servers tips they gather and. allow employers to redistribute that money to non tipped workers such as cooks and dishwashers they're experimenting with socialism. just like young adults
1:11 pm
experiment in college today and socialism tomorrow it's babying math from a big band with your organic chemistry professor. or joining in improv troupe called americans for some parody. so they're open to saying yes and to really any idea as long as it isn't from someone poor brown or female because then the scene kind of dies after that yeah i mean why would you want to listen to that right now the key word though is allow that you're using employers are actually going to redistribute the money the right thing to do is just paying all these people more but corporations are clearly going to pocket this and and we know this because the labor department scrubbed analysis the proposal would rob billions from the actual workers do you see that story in your in your research my research. over until now i thought freedom partners but the political action committee run by people in open relationships. but either way those are two groups of people who

the only number with bad associations announce that only hope the parties in question are said to formulate a plan to bolster donald trump and disparage hillary clinton using methods ranging from organizing political rallies to posing as grassroots groups but some of the tactics listed are questionable and one instance russians are said to have fun of the construction of a cage aboard a flatbed truck and then to have paid someone to wear a costume portraying clinton in a prison uniform to sit in it defense also allegedly purchased advertisements on facebook to promote a rally. titled support hillary save american muslims not sure how that fits in with the pro trump anti hillary agenda and let's not forget efforts claim to have been made on social media where the russians are meant to have use fake identities to push divisive hashtags and topics according to the document the fake accounts became the means to reach quote significant numbers of americans however when platforms like facebook and twitter were grilled about what part their companies may have played in the alleged meddling they testified that the influence was
1:24 pm
minimal. we determined that the number of accounts we could link to russia and that we're tweeting election related content was comparatively small. aggregate these ads and posts were a very small fraction of the overall content on facebook but any amount is too much . these videos mostly had low view counts. and it looks like at the end of the day all of those efforts were in vain at least
1:25 pm
according to the u.s. deputy attorney general there is no allegation in the indictment that the charge conduct alter the outcome of the twenty sixteen election now this development came out of nowhere and something worth noting is that all the accused are private individuals and companies the indictment is silent when it comes to trump kremlin collusion the goal of the whole investigation. president trump reacted by tweeting that his campaign did nothing wrong by doubling down on accusations that russia started its alleged onto us campaign in twenty fourteen he added that it was before he announced his presidential bid in a separate statement he called on bipartisan unity claiming that discord serves the goals of bad actors like russia. we discussed the indictment with a number of experts they suggest the timing of the documents released may be no coincidence is it beneficial for them all enough fridays and people have always thought that on

a friday when this is done it'll absorb as much of the heat as possible but isn't it interesting. i ask the question we had a shooting where the f.b.i. apparently and other law enforcement agencies were told repeatedly that this young man is exhibiting behavior which most probably is dangerous one can only suspect rather that the idea that the indictment was released today to take pressure off the f.b.i. i mean these indictments of course are prepared took a long time to prepare it could have been ready to go. presumed time they could have held it there's no evidence for me to say that but i wouldn't rule that out i mean it's an interesting thought but they were going to maybe do it next monday and they pushed it up. the indictments come as the f.b.i. is and a heavy criticism of the wednesday's deadly school shooting in florida after the bureau admitted it failed to reacts a prior to pulse on the danger posed by the

gunman who killed seventeen people florida's governor has called on the f.b.i. director to resign over the fatal failure. if the ice failure to take action against this killer is unacceptable seventeen innocent people are dead and acknowledging a mistake isn't going to cause it and apology will never bring the seventeen floridians back to life or comfort the families who are in pain the families will spend a lifetime wondering how this could happen and apology will never give them the onus is they desperately need the f.b.i. director needs to resign. and if the law enforcement authorities admitted over the last few years that had scores of calls regarding the killer. we have uncovered at the broward sheriff's office that we've had approximately twenty calls for service over the last two years regarding the killer the f.b.i. has a term and the protocol was not followed. the information was not provided to the
1:28 pm
mommy guilt office. and no further investigation was conducted at that time. in particular at the f.b.i. had been given information about the attack as gun ownership and his social media posts his desire to kill people erratic behavior and potential to conduct a school shooting also frank one of those who actually won the security service by the suspect has spoken about what led him to raise the alarm september twenty fourth two thousand and seventeen i sent a screenshot of a comment on one of my videos you know this comment i'm going to be a professional school shooter and i knew that i couldn't just ignore that i had to report but report it to youtube and course they remove the comment and then i tried to e-mail it to the beyond. the shooting in part planned a florida court on wednesday when
1:29 pm
a former student from seventeen people and injured some dozen a nineteen year old suspect was detained by police on the day of the the atrocity his case and how the f.b.i. failed to recognize the threat posed by him is now being investigated. u.s. attorney general jeff sessions is now calling for an immediate review of the f.b.i. and the department of justice florida is not the first deadly attack that could potentially have been avoided had more attention been paid to as it came a group in explains nicholas cruz isn't the only mass killer to be on the radar screen of the f.b.i. before conducting their crime all marmot teen who shot up the post nightclub killing forty nine people in orlando florida was investigated by the f.b.i. twice before he committed his mass murder. turns out they deemed him not to be dangerous that all forget about dylan rufe the self-proclaimed white supremacist who killed nine churchgoers in south carolina.
1:30 pm
well it turns out he was able to purchase his weapons because of errors in the f.b.i.'s background check process and then there's no adele his stock has shot up a u.s. military post in texas back in two thousand and nine. the f.b.i. was fully aware that he was online in communication with top al qaeda leaders they still didn't bother to investigate i think we've seen time and time again over the last he is our intelligence agencies across the west dropping the ball in terms of getting tips being aware of potential threats and not following up on those threats and you taking out the fence of measures it seems lessons not being learned they need to have a proper view about you know what exactly are the threats what are they trying to do how can they best protect the people have.
