stay tuned to watch the whole. i'm max keiser with more of my guide to financial survival this is on

a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these hedge funds are simply not accountable and we're just getting more and more exposed up. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for a lot because we are. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. want to be. the two going to be cross with the bible before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. first sit.

thank. you they say that manufacturing is dead in the us but in our prisons it's alive and well see in the united states more than sixty thousand incarcerated citizens are forced to work for a unicorn a government owned manufacturing business that relies almost entirely on forced prison labor they make military uniforms license plates mattresses food service linens firearms targets office furniture and even provide data services you know cora pays in maids between twenty three cents and one dollar and fifty cents per hour for their work at the california department of corrections bragged on twitter in july that they had more than two thousand volunteer inmate firefighters including fifty eight youth offenders battling wire wildfire flames throughout

california and those inmates fighting those fires received one dollar per hour. and if this were any other country would be calling for sanctions but in the us this kind of slave labor is actually protected by our constitution section one of the thirteenth amendment the us constitution which was ratified and adopted in december of eight hundred sixty five states neither slavery nor involuntary servitude servitude except as a punishment for crime where of the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the united states or any place subjected to their jurisdiction so what's happening here folks is that our constitution sadly allows for people to be treated like slaves as long as they were convicted of a crime any crime and since private prison corporations or their shareholders are profiting on the forced labor of citizens within our correctional facilities well slavery is alive and well and heavily subsidized by the u.s. government and today prisoners and at least seventeen states across the nation will

be refusing to participate in slave labor by joining the national prison strike starting august twenty first we were joined earlier by kevin seale prison reform activists working with the incarcerated workers organizing committee to tell us more about the strike and their demands. the president is from or has twenty first to sub some of. those deuces chose a specific lou for. so bruce some of. the. he was to go to prison a prison goes all the. time i'm over the sort of version of the article. so we chose those to lose because those are the numbers of who vote on the pros and they really expose this to go as long as possible we're going to try to hold it up as long as possible as over the just to get the done of the war. on the roads. from prison those. it

looks. to be. we were looking for the truth. to be was looking for the prison litigation out to be was and. those are just a few of them is that the put it. to me as those come from local prisons. one of the things they came up and the in this prison strike and looking at the issues is essentially prison labor and the riot when you look at the ryan south carolina was a perfect example of why we need reform in our prisons and it was just the tip of the iceberg but we didn't see that sort of. outcry from the mainstream media outrage over the conditions they were in now prisoners are standing up but it's it is revealing that the really sad truth that chattel slavery never went away in the united states in in a sense can you explain a little bit about how how did our prison system become

a source of cheap labor and why is that being allowed under the constitution. in the place where the prison guards are actually allowed to go or they could have stopped and they could have stopped this from leaders who they. believe this country this country with google slavery so when slavery was a so-called that. they had the fonda feel free to continue the cheap labor to the nation so they were going to do the job. of the slew of different forms and they felt this for. able to leave.

really keep on keeping on cheap labor will continue to grow the country and the masses you have these big corporations such as. various corporations will for cheap labor but there's no there's no out against these big corporations so that's a problem we have in this country and i think it's just i think it's sad that. presidents not just. in the power. haven't just all the this this they have in this country. and we need we need to make some changes that. allows they view to be in this country and that needs to be. it's easy for them to kind of turn their backs on our the prisoners of our system because well they committed a crime they're there for a reason we can do whatever we want to them they're

a blight on society those are all the kind of excuses that are used and in the process of those excuses you you forget that we're talking about human beings whether guild exam you or unjustly prison or whatever we're still talking about human beings at the end of the day and they all share basic rights regardless of crimes committed now once a person enters the prison system in the united states they never truly leave that why is it so important for prisoners to retain their right specially the right to vote once they've served their time once they're let free you know why is the right to vote so important that we shouldn't be taking that away just because someone is convicted of a felony. so it's not just the game part of it when you're free so-called free to actually give these. men or women rights to vote their purses and then. they committed a crime or they made the middle of the mistress in

a lives so that makes them not human the law that makes them no longer american citizens which does something as with. we can see people. inside the prison to not be american services no longer when they come home they have to pay to. do everything outside of the participate in. the vote which is so with this and this zero point zero we give. the woman right to vote while they're in prison the was this least there of. a point to give them their vote because we were in a situation we will have a down from. if we have more the vote more voters who are part of the local who have these problems we have more people to vote this fall is because. we

incarcerate the most people in the world so there's a whole there's millions of people. that can vote. and that's a big problem in this country that's a amazing point i never thought about the you know what just because you go into jail doesn't mean you suddenly lose your basic rights to being a u.s. citizen that's a great that's a really fun turning point that's really fantastic point one of the things that we've seen over the years of why it's gotten worse and worse and worse when you think about it should have got better have gotten better was decades of bad policy from the federal government capitol hill and presidents. are prisons. our aren't a rehabilitation centers they are not places where someone goes to understand maybe the mistakes they've made make different decisions because we've taken away every single opportunity for people to learn and it's become a political point when it is he's only a little bit about how policies like you mention the prison litigation reform act

the sentencing reform act how those things stripped prisoners of basic human rights and why is something like how did it get passed us. the policies that placed on prisoners is. the litigation reform. this form. of grievance this stuff too grievous to go directly to the further. someone the society the you have to go to defense because this thing you're grievous is not. so they don't want to waste the time. to get involved in your new group so you have to go to state you have to go to the facility that you were at different processes just to get to the core system at them to get that you already did. so that something was really. that we could say. please these policies and please key. people as

a. human being is that that's the biggest thing about this trade is to treat them as if the room. we're treating them. they're less than human as something needs to be addressed by the masses and the policies need to be changed in the north for the powers of the change takes us. to them in new york. it takes the was as our that kendall to apply pressure to these lawmakers seaward is there the. say listen we're not going to. if you will make this change so it's takes us out here to put our vote over to put a vote for place and say listen this is what we need we need to go and vote you know i want to as i want to ask you what do you think is the biggest misunderstanding that people have about you prisoners incarcerated for

drum roll you were incarcerated a vigil what is the biggest misunderstanding the people view this strike they need remember when they're seeing these prisoners by and for their rights. the biggest miss the biggest misunderstood thing about prison that all of. you most who they don't have they don't have feel they don't have a heart and that they deserve whatever. they deserve the target they was given they are all. guilty of that they convicted for that something as far from true and we're just now worthy of being. as a citizen and that something needs to be changed there was this article that was put. through the sixteen there's a president is the question facility they have

a debate. and they beat harvard they be harvard to be and it was really there was move you only of about the base saying they're supposed to win because the person they all they do they have nothing but you they was given as well. as if we have babies and we was given with so with how people think they did what was in the way they work. is just. so this business collection is this collection that we have. well once someone leaves society and goes into prison folds. especially if the blood. in one thousand nine hundred four the mass a craft clementine delivered data that suggested there was ice on the surface of the moon at the north and south poles now some twenty four trips around the sun

later researchers at the university of hawaii have proof that clementine was correct nasa creation the moon mineralogy mapper travel to and from the moon in two thousand and eight but the data is only now reaping the benefits the data shows that there's a small patches of ice on our moon's surface this means that if ice is on the surface there may be even more buried within the soil future test could reveal where the ice originated since the patch on the south pole is concentrated in craters all the north patches are not suggesting the ice may have rolled along on a meteor some scientists even think will be able to convert lunar ice into rocket fuel meeting in a few decades the move could be home to some of us are looking to get some of that you know lunar water and my nice cup of coffee or a map from the owner. who is excited about it i'll retire on the mound at our car at the preserve so for you to day ever birdwood in this world without children

loved up and so i tell you all i love i am tired old winter and have a lot of watching those hawks out there and have a great day and about. three. finest hour from now also this weekend that evolution now has a little bit on thousand people a point about. lining if you knew you wouldn't be that easy to find and found that out in me. plus is that going to get the muscles to people who. didn't. look i've done my duty by my little bit too much of my mouth that i little bit out of that out of money coming over

much of the way for the mob not to get it but it. is this one does fly these blues. some for the want. to see. if anybody will tell them. the difference if somebody said to you look up a bit better. than the for. now see will never be useful so you will be talking to the. cows get it go our own little me give you a little. of that a lot of it i'm about to come out of a skid but i'm

a look at him as art when i was up to the money into. a new. hotel room alone i left my money on. the stage so it will be. their own place so that there will ultimately be a lot of fun to be made for. for the people most of those of us on. that. feel. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it's meaningless in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one

convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no way that doesn't mean that we're even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace it's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. the law.

this hour's headlines stories on r.t. donald trump's presidency appears on shaky ground after former associates plead guilty to new. federal crimes the special counsel probe initially launched to investigate alleged collusion with russia so far only expose fraud lection campaign violations in the u.s. where is the closure you know they're still looking for closure where the closure. of the. newly enforced u.s. . our response congress is also reviewing even more aggressive measures against moscow that later in the year.

plus nike faces accusations in the u.k. it's promoting gang culture after the release of controversial new sports where. my immediate reaction is terrorists i'm from canada so all i think of is someone being warm that appealing to me at all i don't think you didn't see me. from moscow to the world this is your r t international my names you know neil good your company their top story there's been plenty of talk this whedon stay over donald trump's presidency which now appears to be in the per carious business in less than two years in two of the president's former associates pleaded guilty to

federal crimes trump in hot water his ex lawyer has implicated him as the orchestra of campaign financial violations and the media is already getting in a spin over his. possible impeachment could he be impeached with this i think the beginning has to be set and mark right now and wolf we're in a watergate moment but there is i think a lot for the president to fear daniel hawkins takes a closer look nod what's been called donald trump's most damaging day in office yet . impeachment endlessly discussed in mainstream media discourse today it seems became a little more realistic for trump although it's not exactly what you might think farris links the russian agents or collusion with the kremlin something far more mundane as his former lawyer michael cohen pleaded guilty to bank in tax fraud he also admitted guilt in campaign finance charges and legibly paying off former mistresses of trump for their silence on the orders of the now president in

a double whammy trump's former campaign manager pulled out of fort was also found guilty of numerous personal fraud charges potentially facing years in prison but what about those russian links after all that's what the attorney general authorized special counsel to dig up coordination between the russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of president donald trump they found buying ten tax fraud evasion lies to the f.b.i. hush money but no russian collusion they could do the right hugo which we got to have. where is the crow loser you know there's no looking for collusion where is there to lose your lives or to lose you it's a day of embarrassment for trump and bad timing too with midterm elections approaching and democrats looking for any i mean if they can find the president though will view this as a vindication a year and

a half later after several investigations the russian leak story still seems dead in the water although who knows what else the ongoing investigation will find. well let's cross live now to patrick henningsen from the twenty first century wire media i think did that have you with us is this edging do you think towards dollar trump actually getting impeached. i think it's it's likely it's sorry it's unlikely that in practical terms that the president can be impeached on what is currently on the table and so i think the results of this lays plea bargain bike by cohen and also paul mann affords charges have no bearing i don't think they have any bearing at all on the president and impeachment should be raised to the level of of high crimes or

some high degree of corruption or high misdemeanors and at the moment they don't have any in fact the fact that they haven't come up with anything and that the all they've managed to claw back with paul manna for is mis filings and some bank fraud charges and the same with cohen in violation of campaign. regulations finance regulations that proves there is no russian collusion or they've wasted two years to find fairly pedestrian violations sure if you went into any of the campaigns including hillary clinton's and spent two years with an investigation team and a grand juries i'm sure you'd find a lot more than miss filing that's the point isn't it violations of campaign finance laws that's the point of how the muller investigation has actually expanded it was launched just to remind our audience it was launched as a probe into alleged collusion with russia but it appears nothing's emerged

concerning not so far. sure and if you also look at the way paul man afore it was manhandled you know early morning raids and you know being thrown in solitary confinement he was complying with the moeller investigation teams document requests the whole way through not being charged with any violent crime but you know is treated in this kind of heavy handed way this is just this is even beyond politicization so in regards to impeachment the bar that bar is pretty high and i think this is this will be good to sort of they've got a pound of flesh now to throw to the democrat side of the resistance side and that might you know motivate people in the run up to the midterms but it doesn't connect the president or affect the president all with regards to the initial plot of russian collusion so. there's

a disconnect there and although it's been spun up in the media right now and i don't believe it this is going to have legs in two months and in a couple of months time as you say the midterms will be happening you know whatever happens in that kind of a big bearing in two years' time in the actual presidential election is this a boost to the democrats to thank you. absolutely this is a great rallying cry for the democrats like we've got the momentum let's take the senate let's take the house let's impeach this president but there are no suitable charges for impeachment currently available unless they're hoping for an. eleventh hour miracle right before the midterms in order to give that sort of spark of hope but you know they're going to have to have a massive revolt in the you know in the senate for instance of republicans so you know extensively they want to have the republican party want to dump donald trump's chances of reelection in two thousand and twenty that's that's a bit of

a stretch even as bad as it is right now that still quite a stretch of the imagination but you know everything in the last two years has been a stretch of the imagination with this russian collusion. witchhunt or chasing russian ghosts it is a stretch of the imagination it's quite extraordinary it's lasted this long. twenty first century wired media i think always good to get your take thanks patrick. the first batch of the most recent u.s. sanctions against russia is due to come into force today they focus on exports of american made electronic electronics used in the area not to kill and also space industries now moscow ses the measures won't affect ordinary people and in november moscow code face a second wave of restrictions described by a u.s. state department official as more draconian thirded would be more limits on trade

banking and cuts to diplomatic relations the measures under consideration may alter this state early on from entering u.s. space while washington say's the new measures are in response to the poisoning of a russian double agent and his daughter in britain earlier this year the investigation into the case is still ongoing no evidence of russia's involvement has been provided moscow has slammed the sanctions are slow witted saying they're based on a false pretext as usual washington provided no evidence of justification while only throwing out vicious innuendos it seems they are following the principle worse is better we will counter the united states slow witted blinkered and aggressive approach with sober minded orderly work on a constructive agenda. when it does seem washington is gripped with sanctions fever

with numerous debates in the u.s. capitol on how best to punish russia. on capitol hill it was all about sanctions three high profile events subtle differences but the main thrust in all of them was punish russia the u.k. foreign secretary even flew into town to make his case those who don't share the values need to know that there will always be a serious price to pay if red lines across and today the united kingdom asks its allies to go further by calling on the european union to ensure its sanctions against russia a comprehensive and that we truly stand shoulder to shoulder with the u.s. to different hearings on capitol hill about russia's supposed moen line actions now the two things named are us a lecture.
