anyway this next topic i was aware of its existence of course but the sheer scale of it blew my mind it's poverty in america heres my breakdown. late last year professor philip alst in the united nations special rapporteur tour on extreme poverty and human rights spent two weeks visiting the united states to find out whether or not the existence of extreme poverty in america undermines the enjoyment of human rights by its citizens survey says yes it does. according to alice then the united states is one of the world's richest most powerful and technologically innovative countries but neither its wealth nor its power nor its technology is being harnessed to address the situation in which forty

million people continue to live in poverty forty million people that's the population of france if you added twenty five million to it the population of france is actually sixty five million but forty million is still a lot it's like seven irelands should just drown with seven irelands to begin with . hey professor allison what is the biggest single challenge the biggest single challenge is to convey the sense that poverty itself is a violation of human rights what that really means is that it's a political choice that we make in different societies that when not going to address extreme poverty would just go to let people languish in that condition amen those are insightful words about poverty i just didn't realize they were going to be coming from a guy who looks and sounds like the embodiment of old money not the judge

a book by its cover but this guy vibe like he's in possession of golden koans from the era of king nebuchadnezzar of ancient babylon i suppose he's going to rich splaying poverty to all of us. man i really have to stop being so judgmental. especially because alstom has a record of consistent impartiality which makes his statement un-american poverty all the more credible yeah i got to see past this guy's blinding whiteness yes i know i'm white too but not that white anyway during his mission the good professor went to alabama california west virginia texas d.c. and puerto rico impart he said i met with many people barely surviving on skid row in los angeles i witnessed the severances go police officer telling a group of homeless people to move on but having no answer when asked where they

could move to i heard how thousands of poor people get minor infraction notices which seem to be intentionally designed to quickly explode into unbelievable dead incarceration and the replenishment of municipal coffers that's right sadly it's incredibly expensive to be poor in america which is like the worst oxymoron i can think of. it's actually like the only oxymoron i could think of i know there's other ones but it's hard to just like come up with them on the spots you know. jumbo schrempp we're back on track now let's roll some really depressing statistics with ironically optimistic news. u.s. health care expenditures per capita are double the o.e.c.d. average and much higher than in all other countries but there are many fewer doctors in hospitals per person u.s.

infant mortality rates in two thousand and thirteen are the highest in the developed world americans can expect to live shorter and sicker lives compared to people living in any other rich democracy u.s. inequality levels are far higher than those in most european countries in terms of access to water and sanitation the u.s. ranks thirty sixth in the world plus a whole bunch of other horrible. this is shocking to me because i was always told that america is the greatest country in the world nobody ever told me america is the greatest country in the world at keeping people all or that's messed up and here's something else that puts the x. in american exceptionalism not to be confused with putting the x. x. x. in american exceptionalism. years ago i actually worked on the set of that video shoot trust me you can never own see the erotically your haunting image of a bald eagle furiously making love to

still ring true today and that was really empowering to do but strike trump axed i am remember one person walked into a room when he was supposed to go this way and he said he was going this way and he walked in and he went this way and everyone said what happened. that was less empowering it was more like a freaky stroll down dementia road reporting from downtown l.a. john of o'donnell redacted. i never want to lip sync again ever i was scared his essence was going to like seep into my brain somehow and then i'd have to be trouble to. anyway i am thrilled to now be joined by my fellow redacted correspondents natalie mcgill and they only care of
4:09 am
on the let me ask you this natalie so you did a story about prisons that was very informative very funny also incredibly infuriating are there any aspects of the story that you didn't get to go yeah so obviously there's this concern about the expanded role that private prisons are going to play in the midst of all these b o p budget cuts and last week the house of representatives they passed a bill called the first step act this allows nonviolent offenders with good times so-called good time credits to serve the rest of their days in a halfway house or home confinement even honor and stuff like that but since the d.o.j. reduced funding for halfway houses there's this concern particularly among democratic lawmakers that these are going to be run by private prison companies instead this was sounding like a positive thing at first tentatively but i knew if i just sat there and listen long enough that something awful was going to go. naomi you.
