them to have it done a look at the house she really didn't kill it collapses under children when my son and his wife look at the destruction look at how crooked the house is look at the walls they're all broke in the roof once fell in on my grandson. hear them working at night on the floor starts to shake of course i'm against it this is our home we're also supposed to go norm can stop them well this is what they want they want the arabs to leave this home so that they can take them.

for many years we've been complaining but no one helps us but one day we felt the house moving to be called the police they made us all leave but it rains now water lines and furniture we have lost everything there is nothing left for us in. the u.s. city of burlington is fighting against a fleet of f. thirty five fighter jets being stationed at a local airport the mon state residents rejected the move in a non-binding vote saying they're concerned about noise pollution and safety to make their feelings loud and clear before the vote giant speakers that we used to blast at the sound of a flying jet in the city center. and then more protests were held over the weekend against the f. thirty five base place made one high profile arrest among the activists ben cohen co-founder of the ice cream brand ben and jerry's local air force authorities have already invested some eighty three million dollars in preparing for the jets which

is shuttled to come into operation next year. the airport in burlington is located in a very heavily densely populated area so there are one hundred twenty four thousand people that live within about five miles of the runway half a dozen of us put on a demonstration of what that sounds like and people came running out and said stop this is horrible my children my animals my family this is not appropriate for a city it's one of the causes of heart disease it's a cause of cognitive impairment in children according to the best medical studies what happens is children have delayed reading learning disabilities memory and concentration become impaired. they have thirty five jet program is the most expensive u.s.

weapon system to date with an expenditure of around one point five billion dollars and yet out of two hundred eighty aircraft haul for a still granted american seven allies are currently implementing stealth strategy operations with the fighter jets a total of nine countries were involved in the development of the f. thirty five but it's been a bumpy ride repeated production delays and costs over running have plagued the defense project it's now being described by some as too big to fail his the co-founder of the protest movement in burlington. you're forced didn't make this decision to base f. thirty five fighter jets in the city of burlington based on the facts so we don't want thirty five days to hear it's going to be damaging to the people of vermont it's going to be it's going to make us a collaborator with any kind of foreign intervention the president decides on.

i thought round up for now i'll be back at the top of the hour with more so don't go away. underperforming the stock market oh my god blackstone one arbitrage opportunity you have brought amongst yourselves i suggest you short yourselves a pile of money into you eviscerate your own corporate balance sheet and then blow your brains out of live t.v. they gave us a big. experience for the financial predatory. secret indeed is the priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it

literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot where the previous standard is not the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that end of the summit as the end and then i conclude that it is the. greetings and sally you should see here in the united states besides the coal industry airplane engines and

a whole host of poly murders and polyesters there was actually another form of energy currently being extracted from the great state of west virginia the energy of organization and protest of saying no more corruption and demanding a livable wage this my friend is the energy of strike you see just over nine days ago west virginia's teachers and educators went on strike pressing the state legislature for higher wages and stronger funding for the state's failing public employee health care system and on tuesday this week their energy paid off with the state legislature and governor finally coming to an agreement announcing a five percent increase in teacher pay as cathy can go writes in for jacob in magazine and less than two months the movement has grown from a couple hundred teachers and school service personnel demonstrating at the capitol to a full blown strike it is seemingly caught up. everyone from union leaders the state legislators to the rest of the country by surprise by surprise and by

a storm because while our elected officials in cable news pundit in spite of the rant over whether or not to buy every teacher a shiny new glock educators around the country are instead calling for better classrooms better resources and higher wages you know little things that actually you know that tend to work you know to make a child's life a little better those things in oklahoma for example things have gotten so bad that even school district administrators who are generally not a teacher's greatest ally are actually throwing their support behind a potential teacher strike. you know what the recent success in west virginia and the strike rumblings in oklahoma is that is the u.s. ready for their teachers to take a knee to occupy and to cry out me to start watching the hawks. but. it looks

like. it's like. the bottom. like you that i got. this. week so. what are the harks i am tyrone for and i'm top of the law teachers striking i know i love this i love that energy in the air want to see progress mass group of people say enough is enough we demand our work you know we demand rights without higher wages we get together we organize we push our legislature to make a difference that's that's the essence of what this country in the united states and other countries you know that's the essence of what it's all about sure do you think it's because we you know we grew up with things like teacher strikes and we must drive or strikes and those are major things and they move things along and it

was about workers' rights it was about treating people with respect. and now it seems obviously there's been a huge push of the koch brothers to. do well to get rid of of many many many many many aspects of you know say oh no you know i think i think when you it's not the union unions were these like bright shiny places of gum drops a lollipop so you know learned a lot of them were there lot of bad union leaders and that kind of thing but they're very essence and core of unions is what you need it's work ever i believe every job with it with another amount of people working that job in every side. should have some kind of union representation absolute right or at least should have collective bargaining rights and that's something that we've seen stripped away everywhere not of states have ever around the world as some poison everyone had it you know is that a billet doux that a group of employees can get together and say ok as your employees we demand right and let's negotiate let's talk about what works for you what works for us find some

of the middle right there i don't see is like fair and i think people mistake like oh it's better if you just work with your boss on them like no it isn't the reason that you know actors have agents and why when you're going through a real estate deal you hire an expert you know hire someone to be the bad guy when you have to be and to be the person who looks out for is that where you and your boss can always have good relationships that are working relationship and negotiating your time off or whatever it is it doesn't become a personal case the use of the unions or whatever you write representatives who have put pretty interesting here there are teachers i think that's one of the places to look at it from what i hear it's really unsettling and so the washington post had said and oklahoma the teachers are paid less than in virtually any other place in the country schools have been so financially challenged because of budget woes that students in some districts only go to class four days a week that is foul and disgusting i wouldn't mind if they said hey we're doing

this whole thing forty hours a week because we're doing longer day as a reader that's fine but i do not understand like hey we're just on the money to educate you all five days what do you get reading and writing but you don't get written. about ferrari and oklahoma is one of those places where it was kind of like the republicans kind of big that legislature and said we're going to do smaller smaller smaller government and then i just basically got to the you know god i wouldn't for them to run yet they had the past six years oklahoma has had their funding has dropped by twenty three point six percent this is education for our children. public education for our children and you're going to tell me we're going to go out and we don't need all that you know and i'm going to talk about the republicans issues in oklahoma but that doesn't let the other side of the two party dictatorship in the united states i want to be there and not just the democratic party because when you go to west virginia which is a long time democrat spot the jolie recently went donald trump and went you know

like bernie sanders in two thousand and sixteen a hard core bernie sanders hard core donald trump the democratic party was regina after only occupies a third of the seats in the in their legislature but this is after they like ran the place for about eighty so i want to say like sixty seventy eighty years there you know hardcore democrats in one thousand nine hundred sixty three percent of what west virginia voters were registered democrat thirty percent republican seven percent independent twenty years later twenty sixteen forty five democrat and the independents grew twenty one percent you see a shift in that place because everyone talks about west virginians like everyone takes from west virginia yeah they take our coal they take our resources and everyone's been taking no one's putting anything back in and that's what has that group of people very upset and what's really interesting is. you mentioned earlier you could also wrote it was also the democratic party led by the majority governor joe mansion that enacted corporate tax cuts

a decade ago that currently cost the state missed a minute two hundred twenty million oh you're if you put that to twenty million in the issue they had to stay workers now which is what that strike was over a pay raise five percent pay raise you could give every public employee a twelve percent raise that's incredible so these are things the of one group who fought teachers fought for a five percent raise and you literally sit back and say all this money you could have given everyone in the whole state and the public employee twelve percent revenue growth gave that away democrats didn't act collective bargaining there so it's not a right and left problem here it's a. versus people probably. many good folks here in the united states so i often find themselves asking why does our congress seem so out of touch with the actual problems facing the citizens they represent for the answer to that question one can very easily start with the wealth gap separating elected officials and the people they represent according to open secrets dot org and twenty fifteen it would

take the combined wealth of more than eighteen american households to equal the value of a single federal lawmakers household and nowhere is this wealth gap more apparent that in california where it was very recently really revealed that members of the california legislature are worth a combined four hundred thirty nine million dollars at least artie's natasha's suite has more from los angeles. in the united states congress there are about twenty millionaires coming from the state of california and their net worth adds up to at least four hundred thirty nine million well california is the most populous state and rent the third most expensive place to live in the country so if the members of congress receive their fortunes from real estate holdings tech stocks and investment portfolios as well as their spouses now when disclosing their net worth lawmakers are not required to list their one hundred seventy four thousand dollar annual salaries or their property unless of course it's creating the revenue

the wealthiest california lawmaker is a republican representative out of this his net worth is listed at two hundred eighty three point three million he made the majority of his fortune as being the founder of a car alarm giant he also owns ten properties in carlsbad california earning him between five to twenty five million rental income he's not seeking re-election in the coming year and if far away second senator diane feinstein who is also the wealthiest woman in congress has almost fifty nine million this includes the carlton hotel property she owns with her husband which saw twenty million increase in value last year the democrat faces her most significant challenge for reelection this coming fall scott peters of san diego rounds out as the top third wealthiest member of congress on the lower end of the spectrum representative david ballad out of him for it is the poorest among california.
