income that raises questions were voices often determined by access to money our concern is that a healthier economy is one where incomes are growing much faster at the bottom than they are and with president trump's recent tax cut bill giving breaks to all americans may not be enough to close the ever increasing wealth inequality between the rich and the poor inequality has reached new levels of absurdity there are some towns in the city of miami where the rich are being ousted by the even wealthier where changes in poverty levels in golden beach indian creek and miami dade are being gentrified even further most notably in property values in the one nine hundred twenty s. half of the population lived in rural areas across the u.s. and all that time has shifted with people blocking to metropolitan areas we remain far from bridging the gap with stagnant wages and lackluster legislation in washington their amount of stale r t. you know some very different

change would be we've gotten better or even better at both of inequality than we were at that i remember oppression hurly burly bergen all sorts of ways you know even if this is not a wake up call to people that they still want to push this over to trickle down and over that all we've been wage will eventually give back to the poor no it's not happening no at all no no no it's not going to happen one of the things i think that's interesting is you know we were just talking about an article on c.n.n. money about people are prepared to march care should never brag why are they investing which i don't know where you get those ideas those idea that we're not we're we're just saving too much money and letting it sit around it should be invested and that's kind of where this goes the one percent gets rich when when when the ninety nine percent and fast everything is a little bit and then it grows to make a wall but it doesn't come back to those and when you're talking to people in rural communities it's it's a much bigger issue and i think it's kind of ridiculous to think that people.

actually that it doesn't exist it's pretty ridiculous because they're in a jar and as we go to break our watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered of facebook and twitter shows at our t.v. dot com coming up comedian activist and former on the side of the corporatocracy randy credico joins us to discuss the latest on the fate of julia saunders and wiki leaks stay true to watch the whole. tax rises financial survival guide stacey let's learn about fill out let's say i'm not so i guess and your theories on greece banks have the fight street spot thank you for something. on the story

that's true. slavery. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be old for rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one does not show you can afford to miss the one and only.

thanks. so borders of julian assange of been on pins and needles this week after reports surfaced that the clock is indeed ticking down on the wiki leaks founder is time inside the ecuadorian embassy after the new president of ecuador levon marino implied as much as so much has been living inside the embassy since seeking political asylum back on june nineteenth two thousand and twelve that's over twenty two hundred days rumors abound that if expelled from the embassy assad could be arrested by u.k. police for skipping bail on a now drop swedish sexual assault charge and probably extradited to the united states to face long rumored charges on indictments earlier we were joined by a long time supporter of a sonder and wiki leaks activist and comedian randy credico. randy always a pleasure to have you on i want to start by asking where do things currently stand with with the possible impending expulsion of julian assange from the ecuadorian

embassy you know are we truly at the any day any hour any minute point. well it seemed like that last week when president clinton was in spain and england and he made a couple of statements to the spanish press about we've got to do something right away it got a lot of us worried there is a growing movement out there right now there are demonstrations people are coalescing in support of julian sons and all over social media and i think lynn them out in no saw all of that and he's in a very tough position he can either mollify the brits and mollify the u.s. or he could just be you know one of these guys that stands up rather than being like but tista he'll be seen like a butt tista or a trujillo or somoza if in fact he would return jewel in a songe over so it's really not in his interests in terms of his legacy to do this

and he'll be the scorn of south america he's got one card to play to maintain his dignity and that is not giving julian a signs over but you know i don't know there's a lot of pressure being exerted on him by the u.s. state department by the british government they have a lot of dirty laundry they don't want to get out that assad it may have his hands on i don't know what it is but you know and what's going to happen but the ecuadoran president under a lot of pressure a so far has not turned him over they put out a statement today saying it's got to be negotiated but eventually he's got to get out of there he can't i mean right now it's like one hundred degrees a london there's no air conditioning in that embassy and it's a very tough situation for him i can imagine they're going to know randi no one knows but a lot of people are assuming that if he is forced out of the embassy that that

jillian and it will be at thirty and to the u.s. as one of his. you have been one of his most ardent supporters what do you feel is the most egregious act fact of this scenario of him being kicked out of the embassy like that for extradition well if he's kicked out for extradition first of all he'll be debriefed he'll be put away by the brits may not have access to his lawyers he's got one of the greatest legal teams in the history of the human race at his disposal so there would be a big tug of war and england if in fact there is an arrest warrant on signs from the u.s. government is there one is it a bluff i don't know nobody knows for sure i've heard both sides of the coin and what would happen if he were to be extradited to the us it would be a very bad precedent and the biggest problem here is is that the mainstream media is not circling the wagons they're circling the firing squads on the signs this in

the end is a is basically mass suicide they're committing by not supporting assad they must support him just to protect their own and many of these journalists of course are on corporate payrolls or on government payrolls we're talking about the mainstream media but at the end of the day they will be next if a science is brought here and tried under the espionage act but you know it's possible they'll find a way to do it you know show me the guy and all find a crime that he committed that's that's a kind of. m.o. that they're running on another thing is is that the us has a long history of trying to repress dissent particularly with journalists to go back to the alienness sedition acts and seven hundred ninety seven matthew lyon and jedidiah pak they were jailed for criticize and the alienness sedition act people were killed like allies a lovejoy who was against slavery and many others mark twain was under

a lot of pressure for criticising the philip. pain war and it's gone on for ever they want to kill the messenger the u.s. government does and during the two red scares how many journalists were jailed so this this is not unprecedented and i know this this leads me to in my next kind of question is how vital is julian assange has freedom in the fate of wiki leaks four of the sanctity of the euro of our u.s. constitution is first amendment and the future of whistleblowers at the end of the day if he goes down if wiki leaks is taken down you know about that's a big problem it's a huge terrible message about the state of the first amendment it's a huge that's a fatal blow to the first amendment because if they can find a way to get him they can find a way to get anybody so this is a dire warning to people out there who have not been in support fully in support of

julian assigns you better get on board because we're all in the same boat if you're a journalist you'll be next there and maybe tabitha being next who knows maybe even shut tot go get him you know what i am down here when you grow there on that slope you never know and one of the things that's really kind of nerve to makes me think that this could happen this extradition of the you know whatever they're going to charge him with and all i could have was a you know we're dealing with trump's people which might pump a zero called wiki leaks what was a state hospital near newsagency or something like that i mean it's ridiculous these guys yes right a non-state hostile agency something like that now but him and you got jeff sessions you have a neo con cabinet look america and richard nixon said that american america's business is business what it should have said was america's business is war that's what america's business is and so these people their business is war

join the signs put some air to war crimes to torture acquisitions. it invasions all of this they don't want that stuff to get out there because it's their business and people who are connected to it you see it on television you see these guys you know clapper and brennan in a word and have that into t.v. then you have you have these reporters like delaine ian and chuck todd and the two guys scioto and the cost they're pushing for basically having a war you know what do they want a war for and so and so they're going at the response they have been his friend they've been attacking him so like i said these guys have an interest out there we want to continue look at adam schiff in congress he gets money from this russian not russian but a ukrainian arms dealer by the name of igor pasternak

a lot of money and forty percent of is donors are from the military industrial complex they have a vested interest all of these people most of them with both local and assad's poses a threat sons and whistleblowers pose a threat to those interests and that's why we need to like i said circle the wagons around julian assad's this could be the most important case and a century in this country are good but. what are they you know what do you think because they've been you know we haven't seen the new york times we haven't seen the washington post who are so out a man about press freedom and so adamant about our amendments and upholding all of our civil liberties at least their own do you believe that any of those corporate out will at some point come to chile and defense in this to china i am i do i really do think so i think like i said right there is a was a small drink now it's

a growing international movement and supporter julian assigns i've never seen anything like this take. hold it really is big there is a demonstration in front of the ecuadoran embassy in san francisco this wednesday every single day in london people are organizing and the press at the end of the day has got to be fearful if they were to drag this man who has committed no crime at all it's like a guy who's been in prison for twenty years and he gets out on d.n.a. well the d.n.a. here is called the first amendment that's the d.n.a. that should clear him of any wrongdoing he has been one hundred percent accurate has not even made one mistake as a journalists he set the high bar for and a lot of journalists are embarrass those who have sold out their embarrass joining us on to set such a high bar and example that they can't even touch they've gone for the easy money and the stardom but they too could be very possible could be victims of this

war on the press is just a first person. you know what you know what's also interesting true is that when you look at the media how much money they've made off of what drew what wiki leaks has provided to them to source remember the element to be the enemy but they're always well in to take and so right now knowing. exactly what they're all we know what can we please feed us more thank you leaks you know so i think about also plays a big deal i think at the end of the day is that i think they will come around i think the as i think immediate will prevail they're still going to be a lot of detractors but i'm hoping that those have to do with the prevailing and said no this is a first amendment issue this isn't a joint massage issue do you think that when our salute both of you actually were quick as i want to know do you feel like it because this is this there's a certain amount of political pandering going on here obviously do you think that if julian it's time to really used donald trump

a tax returns. do you think that would be a moment where suddenly they would be like here's a year. oh yes i get it right or are it is really louis doing things that are not what he's doing it through who we throwing it out of and who he's doing it for that's a very good point if i have a few minutes just to address that because i thought he had i had this car week we had this conversation i told him about a lie to lovejoy i said you're like a wiser lovejoy who was a a real strong anti-slavery abolitionist publisher eight hundred thirty seven slave power send somebody up into illinois drag him into the missouri river and destroy his printing press and then killed him but that didn't stop the press from continuing and i said that's what you are julie got to put yourself in it and let's sell that he says wait a second it's a lot worse for me because i have angered everybody he angered these neo cons and republicans back in two thousand and ten with the afghan and afghan iraq war logs

he pissed those people off his due to language and then the liberals or the moderates in the democratic party when he be least the past the emails so he's got everybody because he doesn't take sides he's a publisher he got both sides upset with him so i'm sure if he were to put out trumps any try to get them that's the irony right. you know he tried to get trump's taxes he tried to get it from the guy put him out online so does what a publisher does he publishes interesting information important information and we never got that we did get think goodness we got the stuff on hillary clinton and we exposed we exposed to corruption in the democratic party the democratic party is the one that coded in this election the d.n.c. coded and helping donald trump where if it weren't for them if it weren't for they have a word for the shenanigans in the machinations of the democratic party this would

have never happened. as of july thirty first there were at least four major active wildfires in the state of california covering over a quarter of a million acres and most of those fires are currently only between ten and thirty percent contained but while some fires are proving a worthy photo the pasqual fire near san diego was no match for the best of the best firefighters the fire started on friday near the san diego zoo safari park and blistered three hundred sixty five acres coming very close to homes as you can see in this video from ramona california resident brant allen stevens his farm is less than two miles from the evacuation zone thanks to the brilliant flying of these pilots and these specially converted commercial wide body jet air tankers that drop water and the pink dyed fire retardant on the ridge near his home in the farm animals and homes in the area of the valley where say to the folks out there fighting the california wildfires all of you thank you for your service that's going to me i've never seen a commercial jetliner get laid back close to like

a farmhouse you know that's incredible through the crimean thing fiat is really good why are they out of everyone in this world you're told your love the told you all i love you i am tired over and over and i have a people watching those hawks another great day and night everybody. is a. secret indeed just as the priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it literally like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bush should needs to do then he finds out that the priest is a perpetrator he simply moves to a different spot were the previous stand those in the. highest ranks of the

catholic church who conceal the accused trees. from the police and justice system to that little house on the bus the i intend that i can fly out of tuesday's yacht and. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

by rebels and terrorists in syria traced back to some western countries according to the u.s. that's according to independent investigation to track the serial numbers on those people coming up. ahead as well u.s. authorities have been secretly following american travelers even though it's not officially under investigation with official saying it's common practice brought. this is not yes it's hysteria and everyone getting to fly also pretty much if you don't want to get every call you know one of their own why don't why you're. now takes new emergency measures to control the flow of refugees and in italy

charity organization revealed that children are being sexually abused. the man offered to help and said he would shelter me in exchange for sexual services been alone with my father's friend who before continuing the journey subjected me to. and abuse me. and also this out to a special report from japan coming up on the korean community the rights of the people to disguise their culture and sympathy for the reclusive. good morning just turned ten am to choose of the thirty first of july it's kevin zero in review with. first then a large batch of weapon this discovered informally terrorist controlled areas of eastern aleppo and syria came from the west according to an investigation by walker

respondent robert fisk he tracked serial numbers on the missile cases and then tried to find out how those weapons ended up in the terrorists' hands with more caleb maupin looks more closely at the results of this probe this is a weapons factory located in bosnia most likely you have never heard of it but it's here that the weapons were manufactured for one of the bloodiest battles in syria lots of homes were destroyed and lots of civilians were killed in western aleppo by those questionable rebels. we got it almost exactly eight o'clock in the morning and it happened at the worst possible time just as thousands of children were killed in the school the first shell actually came in between these buildings and you know that then the children were on their way to school when a mortar shell landed at the end by a few of them were killed i knew them they went to maher screw a thirteen year old lost her foot in

a rebel shelling three weeks ago and it was good this does. the rebels launch the rocket and it's ten o'clock in the morning seconds later it hit the national school of aleppo three of the children died on the spot so the rebels are now pushing closer and closer. we're in the al assad. and the rebels are pushing into aleppo again. by sunset nine dead over one hundred civilians injured. now most of those rebels are tied to the al qaeda linked al nusra a terrorist group but let's focus on those weapons that they used robert fisk an investigative reporter was able to trace those weapons back to that very factory in

bosnia he was able to get a hold of the factories logbook and getting in touch with the former weapons control director the director recognized his signature in the logbook and from there was able to determine who the buyer was it's a warranty for the hundred twenty millimeter shell this is now standard it went to saudi arabia it was posts of a supply of five hundred moves as i remember the saudi shipment well the saudis came to a factory to inspect the weapons at the beginning of. twenty sixteen the response from saudi officials was pretty much a denial they said that the investigation was vague and undefined however their response seemed pretty vague as well saudi arabia is a leading voice within the international community in support of a diplomatic solution to the conflict in syria while at the same time working with our neighbors and allies to counter the growth of forces of extremism but it's not

just saudi arabia the former weapons director says that nato and the united states pretty much run the show at the weapons making the syllabi when the saudis came to our factory to inspect at the beginning of twenty sixteen there was a saudi minister and some saudi officers who was they came to inspect the weapons before receiving them the offices will civilian clothes the minister was in a robe or low production off to the bulls and war is under the control of the americans and nato who are always coming here and they know each and every piece of weaponry that leaves off factory. we also asked nato for a response but they didn't have any details to share even though the weapons were actually made to the nato standards need to doesn't transfer arms or i mean nation for and for the questions we would refer you to national authorities now another trace from the basement of this former terrorist base in aleppo is the markings on

the casing of a missile now if you take a look the first number here this represents the type of missile the second number however is the stock number you'll notice that it contains the figure zero one now that's the nato code representing the united states it turns out that this t o w anti-tank missile was manufactured at a facility in the united states by the raytheon systems company this missile would have been manufactured and sold by huge raytheon absolutely legally to a nato or friendly on the pro-american power government defense ministry you name it and they will exist for it's an end use this is to forget it and e.u. see a document of impeccable provenance which will be signed by the bias in this case by the chaps who purchased the town missiles in very large numbers stating that they own the final recipients of the weapons this is not the first time this has happened syria is actually littered with weapons that are made to nato standards

and some of which have actually been manufactured in the united states the question now is how much do washington and nato know about their weapons falling into the hands of the very terrorists they claim to be fighting there is a deafening silence a purposeful lack of interest a purposeful apathy and the reason for this is simple the us government and the military industrial complex and the corporate owned media that functions as an echo chamber for the military industrial complex actually does not care the us gov. prosecute those who they say aid and abet terrorism well guess what american war contractors are aiding and abetting terrorism but the u.s. judicial system the justice department the long arm of american law enforcement will not be used against the same military corporations which in fact are subsidized receive a form of welfare from american taxpayers every year starting in syria the battle

against militants rebels is still ongoing in the northwest an adlib province which has become the last bastion in the country civilians and i believe a conflict zone humanitarian corridor all that's been set up. the minute unsecure and they demanded six million liras they to call it two songs when we reached the checkpoint they threatened us and who had to turn back now we're going home where from up wild who.

was it was help to detect explosives and weapons we press the button and scan the object as a special indicator this call is one hundred percent clean but we've seen calls live with the full. support all majority of people come with skin and breathing problems all children and the mothers have been checked over and they were given recommendations and madison to start. looking at if you want. to keep.

it's been revealed that u.s. authorities have been secretly tracking american travelers under a surveillance program called quiet skylights the move targets people who haven't actually been officially investigated by any u.s. agency but still nonetheless. this may pose a risk suspicious behavior like for instance a strong body odor a regular sleeping patterns changing hairstyle or clothes could it seems flagged up someone for surveillance the unit then compiles individual daily reports about it after the story broke the agency issued a statement claiming yes it is standard procedure for me deployed on flights in furtherance of the t.s.a. mission to ensure the safety and security of passengers crew members and aircraft throughout the aviation sector ok partridge got reaction to it then from investigative reporter dave lindorff and political commentator steve malzberg the t.s.a. has determined.
