well you know that i got. it so. well that we're going to watch our science i robot and how many. and more pills expensive red ones blue ones right ones left on what one do i take and which the world gets turned up. right side right again the green color of the red at purple yeah you know whatever it takes people kind of want to know like why is this story important while a we're all going get old someday and be no one wants to see you know old people swindled because the day they worked all their lives put into social security in a lot of times as world most american elderly folks are living off of their social security checks and maybe whatever little bit of retirement they have right now

according to the centers for disease control and prevention for ninety one percent of individuals over the age of sixty five are reported to take at least one have at least one drug prescription that they have to take sixty seven percent of all seniors take at least three prescription drugs is that you have to take him year in order to live you know forty one percent taking five or more so when you hear about corporation and corporate greed because it can't be anything other than that i'm sorry now stepping in saying. we know that you have to take these pills to survive you have to at least ninety one percent of you have to take one of these pills and then we're going to up the prices on these you're up here despite making massive profits. perhaps you can report that. medicare. spending is. expected to rise forty one. forty one percent of their social security income in two thousand and thirteen twelve thirteen people paying out of pocket for

medical bills things like that. that's going to rise to fifty percent in twenty thirty that's an incredible in twenty thirty medicare beneficiaries ages eighty five and over are projected. seven percent. or more. for health care on average. by twenty thirty so we. that could be me i care about that. probably by that. we should only be around in your. time time. well this is one of the things that's happening is you have a very large boom are the baby boomer generation which is getting older and older and older. these are the people that are going to need this stuff. people are going to have a lot of ongoing issues. with the increase and all timers to mention those kind of

things in that age group so it's going to be a big cost to everybody and i think the funny thing is that those medicare and medicaid numbers and everything all these prices are based on trying to get a little more profit out of each layer of those middlemen that they talk about and one of the things where the increase for every brand name every single brand name drug that was in the top twenty. every single one of them has had price increases over the last five years and prices for these drugs increased twelve percent every year for the last five years on average which is what gives you that about ten times higher than the annual rate of inflation. if you don't feel that you're asking our our country is elderly to pick up this cost or someone else to pick up the costs when everybody is you know our generation is going to have to figure out a way to pay for all of this shit man again re that's going on and the thing is if you're making those kind of profits but your purse cry because it means your god

there is no other explanation prices your way around there but every time you see in that industry a whole lot of finger pointing oh oh is it the pharmaceutical companies no no no it's not. it's the pharmacies themselves oh no no no no it's a little bit over a little everybody was the point fingers but nobody actually has to get to the real root cause they were say it was like one of them they were saying that six out of twenty of those drugs that we talked about has had their prices increase over increase of over one hundred percent and in one case just to understand how crazy the says the weighted average wholesale acquisition cost for a single drug increased by four hundred and seventy seven percent over that five year period just imagine everyone even the middleman the small pharma suppose all small pharmacy owner down to his customers is losing while everybody along that there's got to stop the march of the world yeah gotta stop. venison

is the new kale that's the chalkboard message outside of a restaurant that let a small group of the activists in toronto canada to protest chef michael hunter. hunter is actually relevant for his meat loving menu at his restaurant where about a dozen protesters came for four days holding up signs saying murderer animals are not are also citing that quote ever served a cruel flaw groff they also farm animals meant to run in the wild like deer and quote. hunters respond he brought an entire draft and butchered venison leg and his equipment to the front window of his restaurant proceeded to cut steaks from the meat he then went back. into the kitchen cooked it up and ate it in the front window in front of a view of all the protesters and while protesters were flabbergasted and deeply offended by chef hunters actions diners were more amused and moved by the protest saying it only made them want to eat there more chef michael hunter's antler

restaurant focuses on local seasonal and wild food such as forage leaks and mushrooms as well as bison boar rabbit duck india and a quick look at their menu actually shows far more vegan and vegetarian options that most meat focused a south will smith i've been in so i wonder responded via e-mail to the toronto star stating quote these protests are not unusual for the restaurant industry and therefore we're not surprised by the actions of protesters we are operating business as usual our identity as a restaurant is well known throughout the city as is our ethical farming and foraging initiatives we stand by our restaurants identity and the identity of myself as a chef which leads me to wonder if the factory farmed pigs cows and chickens might be worth the fight if they were meant to run in a field like deer so hawk archer's let me ask you what just under our blind or have these big protests or simply lost the thread of their own narrative. of question of

course you and i know is a very controversial topic of all the things we talk about. this. this is actually one of the things that we talk about and it's good to be. i don't think anybody can sit around and defend factory farming and you know and my and seven hundred of them i know and we were talking about this story. really made me brought up that idea versus venison and locally grown locally sold in like that whole i mean when you look at like the difference between. just example venison is more vitamins and minerals per serving than three ounces of lean beef contains two hundred forty seven calories and fifteen grams total one hundred thirty four cultures together so it's already healthier and it's not like we have a lack of beer running around you know. and i think that it's one of those cases

where it's like i hate. pointing out protesters because a protest is always good as free speech but it's misnamed. this doesn't sound like a restaurant who's out there like trying to destroy the world and. it sounds like. like you said it's got local ingredients is making a small and small print. and there's bigger fish to fry gold you know that's a really big company. right now they treat their animals and then treat the food that eventually they send out too much steroids all of it that's i think where it becomes a do the protesters actually want. some kind of dialogue or is it just to sort of have a diatribe about it there's a difference because i think everybody here is big and and they assume oh my god why active egan's running around and this doesn't help is what part of that doesn't

help because the truth is the goal for all of for everybody is the same and i think for health reasons everything we should be eating these cows and chickens and pigs that we're eating because we're domesticated but the thing that was interesting to me was that chef hunter again that's actually his real name. invited the protesters to come along with him on a foraging and which is what they do instead of going to a store and doing all the general he goes out into nature and literally forages for things like leaks and he doesn't stay nibley make sure they're doing making sure that they're not doing in places makes goes out and gets mabel syrup all of these things he hunts and fishes everything is some ethically as a glee as it can be done and he's absolutely against all of the we're talking about these. factory farms what he did after the day was invite them on a foraging with no meats and marni ugur who actually was the woman who put together the protests and refuse the invitation which i thought was really terrible because

you could have really had a dialogue with you because when she was asked why her or her group doesn't focus on factory farms why are they going after the little guy and why are they all on this like the commute is a mess of she said they don't because which i think is strange you know why are you out. doing you know going against these genetically mutated seriously abused nutrient poor diseased antibiotics steroids stuffed animals cows and chickens i guess because one my assume is you know it's they don't run through fields correctly or they're not cute it goes back to the dentist larry thing they're not cute enough you don't see them but seeing as she said i won't get through to them and then when you would move original plan for them. to proceed as it was when this so the whole venison is k what happened back in december do you know why why they didn't do the protest back then because it was too cold is too cold to save animals that there's

a big time up while gras i see where you're coming there's a lot of things argue about that this is what you go that is where dialogue has to how to i don't know sorry people are going to be you've got to have dialogue and you want to change somebody and get them to see your viewpoint thing you act go out on the forging thing and say hey you know what let's have that conversation maybe i convinced this person that even the killing of animals and is bad you know and then also it's a process or it is going to be a court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our poll shows that r t v dot com coming up teacher author and speaker of the walk and walk in the center of the hawk's nest to discuss mass media celebrity obsession with mass shooters stay to watching the hawks. it's the cradle of jazz. is america still america we. know as does jazz feel the. city of climatic contrast to feed

was all you have to pass close while that said. let's send elf it wants a new president he's told good pals is busy typed out thoughts to take calls. them one by wagon that he will go back to watch. for yours will pull you out of the . mountains and what about and i didn't do it will always be the good is it off the. shelf hold. on a puff easy. to. keep it or don't or don't let you people come up with you through the. content yet about all i knew of and i'm mad at them and the money and i'm just i'm . not bad with the internet but oh november did i say i love them they're

down to like about it but i'll be all beings has it and is about. the most expensive fish in the world each one is selling for tens of thousands of euros it continues to grow its entire life if it was thirty years old you might have a fish out there and yet they don't get that big today because we're way too good at catching. it's only when i'm themself a much larger mission was once there was much more widely distributed we have politicians that are in office for a few years they have to get reelected everything is very very short term arse. system is not suited and is not feared for long term survival and that's why we have the catastrophes.

every story needs a villain that holds true not just for t.v. shows or hollywood blockbusters but to a viral news story as well but when that villain is clearly pure evil does it make sense to bestow on them a spot in history's pantheon of murderers terrorists and all around horrible people whether it be parkland pulse nightclub or any other deadly tragedy we often spend news cycle after news cycle dwelling and obsession over a single madman's myriad of entirely hypothetical triggers and motives and once we pass the initial phase of assigning partisan values and politically self-serving markers to a perpetrator's crime we then pass on to the next stage politicizing the victims taking advantage of the fall out in every way imaginable and spinning the narrative as thoroughly as possible to make sure no tragedy goes to political waste to help

us understand how our coverage or tragedy has become so corrupt and we're joined today by do you walk and author educator and activists welcome hey you guys done good always a pleasure know you know whenever you see a horrific attack like this take place as to how it was stated that the media's m.o. was always to wall to wall coverage of the perpetrator you know why did they do it let's have a panelist on the guest as to why they did it if there's no reason right away and everybody kind of jumps on board and you're not about this person and their name over and of course people are curious i mean there's a natural curiosity there. but when does a little but is this approach ultimately harmful in your opinion you know to us as a society. i believe it's super harmful in this culture of needing to be remember or recognize for something people will throw themselves in front of

a truck for social media likes and it's discussed and the results are even more disgusted i mean think about it let's just make this really simple two thousand and twelve a coward walk to elementary school murdered twenty children six adults and himself that was sandy hook since then we had over six hundred mass shootings. eight hundred people. and over sixty four hundred people was injured right all of these people and it's always the same story is some body lone wolf or he was picked on or he was a trouble whatever crappy narrative they give this person and they blast his face all over social media all over the internet. and then we start talking about this person and congress does nothing but i think that's our job and this is why i like i have the means of a lot of these monsters memorized but i'm not going to give them that credit we don't we don't need to blow images or share their stories but make it

a point to talk about them in their perspective who cares about their perspective we've got to stop that because we're adding fuel to the fire and we're creating a tradition of copycats. and i think that's true and this is something that was warned of movies like natural born killers it's an idea same above all else and of course the sort of culture of fame or infamy that comes out of this great thing so how the question now is how do we balance. factual extensive coverage of a crime to a point that's needed and the desire to deprive those killers of the notoriety and fame what is it is it not showing the pictures you know what are the steps we need to take started being so hungry to find out information about these. families going into their homes we should be promoting the narrative of the young people especially the young kids from popular who are really really really putting

themselves out there to try to challenge government to do something because these. you know. they say is. maybe is not a. given to people but this might really be. going to say thing over and over again sort of in the same result the definition of insanity that really has. i mean good but it's what we do here the same thing over and over and over again and we're not getting any results so we have to shift the narrative we have to talk about the people the surviving victims and tell their stories because. we can create a different type of. people actually. this shooter and. i just looked at his instagram account and he only had three followers. disturbing for me. is that this idea that the victims had just been nicer as if

every one of those kids and parkland still has injuries that those people had just been a little bit you know what i was picked on at school. to know my school and to say that these kids this sort of this blaming the victims while making victim out of the perpetrator is. something to be gained from understanding that person to where that way you can better predict or better. person coming again isn't there something we said we should be recognizing who these people are what potentially cause them to do what they do whether the mental situation they were in that way the kids at the next school can say oh. adults who are maybe whether school or whatever may be able to recognize who this person could be could end up being like that maybe i need to reach out to that person or maybe i need to tell somebody.

ness but we're doing it and people about this last shooter. nothing. right we have information and we have to really really really. conversational mental illness we're not doing a good job and treating people who are problems. politician and how they feel about it especially when they take money from especially when they want to try to justify ok we. need to hear from them anymore who cares. we need to we need to shift the conversation. just elevate the real victims even more because i think that this is still new these kids are young and you know i'm inspired by them and their speeches. and how this is being organized and people are actually trying to trying to really make

change so i'm inspired but again how do we continue to elevate the voices of the victims instead of creating many celebrities little. mentally disturbed people who are doing the full of the same thing do you think though the is there a danger in because whenever you shine the spotlight of media on something it very can easily become that magnifying glass on the. burn and kill the can really is shining that media spotlight on the victims. a lot of people want to jump in and politicize everything they do whether they're against what they're saying or more what they're saying or the victims don't have a message and they're just trying to. go on with their lives and heal shining bright in ten spotlight can also that. those folks so do you think this type of coverage helps promote a productive discussion or politicizing children. politicizing children and

the survivors hurting it in the long run. i'm glad you said. alice has been getting attacked by alex jones and. they have been getting attacked and it's not always think. as they get older that putting yourself out there but i do feel wholeheartedly i feel like we don't give enough attention to the real victims and that's going to come. a lot of media praise and it's going to come of being broken into pieces it's going to come of both so it's like you know it's give and take but we have to do something different because you know. ok so main big story delivery

and what happened in charleston we know. he was like a nazi want to be we know he was a little junior white supremacist we know he had a stupid haircut we know all of these things about him but the smaller part of the story is again as soon as those police officers pick them up they took him to get a burger because he was hungry you know what i mean instantly taking these people that adanis things that burger from my perspective was like a silent thank you like a silent you took a stand because i mean i've been thrown in the back of a paddy wagon you know loitering and there was no hot burgers waiting for me on the way no it was the lone sandwich inside central booking with that little thin layer of manny's in that modi brit and the one thing that is a danger and you know there are three very different people at the same ball and the thing is if we start sort of figuring out this how to look for it you become you know we have to figure out that the profiling and i think you understand this

if we start profiling you are the most dangerous person in the room. numerous white male i don't know sometimes i don't know if it's there so wouldn't that exist that has called me out for being lonely or. whatever but that's not what i'm and i think i like what you were saying earlier actually though that i think all of this does need to focus more recognizing the mental health failures we have in schools across this country and how we have kids and how we how we you know how we help kids i think that's the most important thing that's missing from a lot of this conversation and we can get into the gun debate another time because we're run out of time now but realistically though that's what's really missing i think is the mental health in the schools that the baby. needs that that means the debate needs to happen as always the thank you so much for coming on the day always a pleasure talking with you great subject matter to men crazy crazy stuff out there in the watkins author educator always a pleasure thank you. for anyone with

a love of space advanced technology and throwing g.i. joe parachute figures into the sky when they were a kid i've got great news for you this week mouse announced it will once again be testing its supersonic parachute for its next mars rover mission on thursday march twenty eighth and it's quite the spectacle of human engineering and science fiction awesomeness the advanced supersonic parachute inflation research experiment also known as a spider will be ferried some fifty one kilometers and earth's atmosphere of the thin air is similar to the conditions on mars by the eighteen metre tall terrier black brant nine rocket a spiral will then be traveling faster than sound as a parachute unfurled and we get one more step closer to nasa scheduled twenty twenty new rover and mission to mars that's incredible when i first saw that the last time a test that i think was back in the fall and you saw that's where the so this push comes from your thing opened up like that's incredible bit of human genius right

there that makes me again we talk about the dark side of humanity which sugars but then we've got you always go talk about the best things we can do and that's one of them is the using a badge and nation and mathematics involved in putting together something like this it's amazing and it's funny because i'm sure they were the kind of people who put periscope on their g.i. joes and barbie dolls in front of them all day long i doubt that a well that is a tough show for you today remember everyone in this world we're not told we love them enough so i tell you all i love you i have my robe and for and i'm happy while i keep on watching those talks about the great day and night everybody. but politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure more somehow i want to. have to be like the press was like i'm up for like three in the morning can't be
