8:30 pm
about little things like saving all lives not to mention good public relations crazy and tragically this is an old story last year during hurricane harvey prisoners who were were forced to ride out that storm confined to their cells later they later complained of flooding in subhuman conditions during that storm you know ladies and gentlemen with lives on the line and global warming only getting worse i think it's time we learn from our past mistakes and start better prepping for our future and that starts with watching the hawks. but the. real thing is we. are part of. what is like you know that i got. the.
8:31 pm
world or the watching the horse i am tired rope and downtown at the last. one i can't believe i have to ask this question in today's vote why is it so important because i know people out there go like prisoners who cares the prisoners why is it so important that we care about all citizens even prisoners and their guards because we aren't monsters thank you thank you i mean this is it is very strange to me. that there isn't more of an effort especially considering the presence specially considering you know how bad the storm is going to be and it seems like they're just sort of resting on the laurels of it's been fine before but this is a cat four possibly a cat five by the time it hits land new you they haven't seen this in sixty years you don't know what's going to happen and to put even if you don't care about prisoners to put all of that staff and all of those sheriffs and all of those.
8:32 pm
officers lives at risk for what because you don't want to take the time to move them out of the way of a deadly hurricane yeah it's absolutely ridiculous and then we're not talking about prisoners in some supermax no way the key they murdered and slaughtered ten people in row you know how one's head is a helmet for five states rampage i don't want to go there but if we're talking we're going to go on the weekends to raise we're talking about medium security what do you see these are from these aren't you know i mean these aren't like yourself these aren't like wildly violent people are people who are just don't want to die right i mean south carolina's mcdonald. corrections was built more than fifty years ago which while we have sports stadiums that get replaced quicker than fifty years they hold about six hundred fifty men in a medium security lock up the state prison is located in berkeley county and it's one of the five counties under a mandatory evacuation order from the governor there. dougal like you said about the radio during hurricane hugo and it was also a category four but that was in one nine hundred eighty nine the person is now much
8:33 pm
older right eighty nine was what twenty some years old technically brand new in the state of like you know governor fell there after he had started his minister. yet it's sort of strange because other states get it other way and understand we've seen it that they can do it officials evacuated in nantes from indian creek correctional center monday night in virginia. several hundred prisoners in north carolina department of public safety staff are being moved to safer facilities and communication officer for the prisons at north carolina department of public safety jerry higgins actually said the earlier this week that there's been discussion since we first found out about this storm the big thing is just safety safety for our staff safety for inmates safety for the public as well so so this is the thing where it's they don't have a plan for it because i think they've kind of rested on their laurels of it is in a cap three or something at some point it is actually easier for them to hold it out it's a big. on building and you think it's ok but this is different the stories are
8:34 pm
getting worse and worse and you have to be prepared for that or you're responsible for every one of those lives prisoners and staff you definitely are and look this is not like. you know coming into this this is not an old issue it really is not i mean we had about a bad old there were. twenty seventeen hurricane harvey inmates who want to hit houston inmates who were locked in their cells during the storm. and they reported food shortages drinking no drinking water they turned off the water and then that led to sewage flooding for many days in two thousand and five city officials in new orleans per person reportedly abandoned inmates during hurricane of true katrina essentially leaving them there human rights watch report the correctional officers left more than six hundred inmates in one building without supervision to weather the storm just left them so we've got to do something about i mean come on you know a society is only judged by judged by the state of its prisons the conditions of
8:35 pm
its prisons when we leave these people to rot but because of say a book proves the point of everything and so you know with state sponsored slavery and if you're not willing to even care about what happens to that person's body then you know that that's exactly why some human. as hurricane florence prepares to do or worse good samaritans are already gearing up to help once the storm receives but that help often doesn't the harvard humanitarian initiative has been analyzing and researching the way communities respond to natural disasters and what they found is that a significant portion of useless unsolicited donations creates a major implications for the disaster response for example after hurricane hit honduras in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight planes full of needed supplies could not land at an airport because bales literally bales of donated winter coats and high heeled shoes were in the way winter coats sent to honduras in the middle of summer in some instances like after the two thousand and four indian ocean tsunami a beach with piled high. with donated clothes that eventually rotted and had to be
8:36 pm
burned as hurricane harvey was moving toward texas disaster expert holly tapley told reporters that seventy five percent of donated goods during a disaster and up in landfills things to avoid donate are not things like bottled water as it's far too expensive to ship canned food due to the fact that shipping process and lack of climate control could compromise the food toys and clothing distributing these items get people are require a lot of coronation and storage something lacking in most disaster environments and finally medical supplies here's a thing it isn't possible for volunteers a coordinator is to verify the quality of the medicine meaning they simply can't give it out so was her prayer prepared to help let's remember that in a natural disaster the best thing you can donate is cash to the organizations you trust blood in your area or volunteer your time but don't make things harder for the people on the ground so. you know if i suddenly. to you know.
8:37 pm
that happened but really it is a tsunami in the indian ocean so if people in thailand getting litter. is you know it's we when we saw it after her it's you know i'm coming with a big sigh you know here's you know toys or whatever and people always have a good intention and it's not that you shouldn't try to help it's just it doesn't help because with clothes like you said everything has to be sorted you have to sort of by size it's not as if you're it's not as if someone's donating all sizes and all these think it's it takes a lot more effort and those people need to go help in other areas and it's just so much easier to just build to buy what you need it truly is a fema actually states in their literature the list of organized donated goods such as used clothing miscellaneous household items a mixed repair shop will foodstuffs require helping agencies to redirect the valuable resources away from providing services to sort package warehouse.
8:38 pm
transport distribute items that may or may not you know meet the needs of disaster survivors i mean it's right there. not that the most but the best in recent years nobody even that's my point made you even feel like i have to kill i mean it's one of these things it's like you know people think oh i'm going to give a case of baby formula but the problem is you know it has to be shipped it has to go through this process also you know there's allergies there's things it's so much as a result by exactly what you need to stand is actually the most important thing one could actually some correct actually one of the big things for especially homeowners during after a disaster is you know it can take it takes a minimum of five five thousand dollars deposit to get a contractor to even begin work and so if you understand that once after a disaster even if you're insured it's going to take you know can take a month to three months before if everything goes well that you even get a check so one of the things that's really important is that if you live in a disaster area if you are in that situation each of those families needs at least
8:39 pm
eight thousand dollars just to survive through that first month or so. and cash donations can more easily be given to there's organizations that help with that and could give the cash or actually or bill to pay for contractors be able to do that kind of stuff is way better to have his gang. jordans or jordans and have so much x. box look so bright these are they really give them my doubts looks good. and also blood i say this a lot it's a blood donation is a major thing and the thing is that blood that is is given locally is also used locally so if you're giving blood in d.c. it's probably going to use in the d.c. area so one of the things that that's important is to give blood in your area even if you're not in the disaster if you are in any of those like in the states where that's happening please give blood especially oh negative and positive because they're universal donors but everyone should give and all. so
8:40 pm
a big thing is if you can get platelets especially now with you know injuries and things like a nap and platelets it can only be used for five days at a time so if you're in within that area and you can get there or go to a blood drive that's a big one is give give blood give money and give your time all that stuff give to places like goodwill in your area where people are ready to handle it yeah you know there's plenty of other places that we more than happy to you know your old clothes or your toys or whatever it is you know that like you said point i was even surprised and even said like bottled water was an issue it's the always here that you know yes i'm the bottled water think about how much it was you can buy a case of bottle but what you can buy today is the bottled water for what it costs to buy to ship one case of bottled water so it just doesn't make sense and they also again you don't know where it's been it can get messed up in transit just let the people who know how to do it and let's have less waste national blood trash and be hard to help people in need of care but it was true all right every quarter pretty hard watchers tobar good to let us know what your pick of topics were
8:41 pm
covered in facebook and twitter see our full shows at our t.v. dot com coming up we talk job o'loghlin a trumpet ministrations all out attack on the international criminal court with sort of commentator steve malzberg you don't want to miss that they too much of the . peering into the abyss the syrian arab army is determined to liberate good lives and to eliminate the terrorists they are essentially ending this international proxy the u.s. and its regional allies are dead set against this why is the trumping ministration siding with. my body tony. i belong with the board if my thoughts my mine was that i belong with

8:43 pm
as police forces in the city administrations of many countries depend on one corporation that does what mike was hoping the board doesn't pull from the eyes of god this is going to go through the. woods. and into the sea it's just a proprietary software you don't know the source code isn't that such a security risk when you have a black box operating in the public eye to microsoft dependency puts governments under a cyber threat not only that some seem to think. that more. of this this sort of this is. really one of. the. problems with. these this is. the old business stopping them. a student who's
8:44 pm
a friend is up in these parts of the. them or the specifics is taken up with obama's claim. that he was a closer to obama kerry was the last standing course the senators it was like oh yeah you know medicare for all be great but we're just going to let. the price of regular progress to something like progressing. while a hurricane rages over the atlantic this week mr mustache of self united states national security adviser john bolton senate shot across the bow of the international criminal court on monday bolton was pure fire and fury over the i.c.c. investigations into alleged war crimes perpetrated by the united states in afghanistan
8:45 pm
and the possibility of an investigation into israel's abuses of palestinian citizens declaring quote the united states will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust persecute prosecution by this illegitimate court if the court comes after us israel or other u.s. allies we will not sit quietly both men vowed from his high horse in washington d.c. of a not only with the united states retaliate by banning i.c.c. judges and prosecutors from entering the us imposing sanctions on any funds they have in the states and prosecuting them in the american court system the i.c.c. responded the court was established in constituted under the rome statute as an instrument to ensure accountability for crimes that shock the conscience of humanity the court is an independent and impartial judicial institution as. joining us now to discuss the new battle between the white house and the international criminal court is conservative commentator steve malzberg welcome welcome steve is. always great to be here with you guys i love it always great to
8:46 pm
see so steve those are some bold words and threats fired at the i.c.c. by a bold i want to ask first what brought this on why did both in the white house choose this week in particular to you know to suddenly lash out at the criminal at the international criminal court. well as far as the timing goes i think you know bolton themselves referred to the fact as you alluded to in the open that they're planning on opening an investigation into alleged abuses by the united states in afghanistan and getting involved in the israeli palestinian conflict and you know why bolton chose this week i'm not one hundred percent sure but look you know the court said that was formed in rome well guess who didn't sign on to it in rome among the countries who are not signed onto it the united states china russia right there you've got yourself a problem and israel is not a member of it either don't forget john bolton was the u.n.
8:47 pm
ambassador for a time under george w. bush this rome. declaration which the u.s. did not sign on to was in two thousand and two under george w. bush who really wanted nothing to do with this court it wasn't until barack obama came around that he cozied up to them and now as you might expect donald trump is saying well look we're not interested in these international bodies that are unchecked and rogue having any legal authority over our citizens or those of our allies we quit the human rights council that the united nations in june for much the same reason bias by the by the body there was a kangaroo court it was a mockery we quit that i'm not surprised that we're fighting back against the i.c.c. see that the drug administration isn't the first u.s. presidential administration to battle with and ultimately work to undermine the power of the i.c.c.
8:48 pm
obviously the george bush administration actively oppose the court in its first term and he said even president barack obama issued memorandum shielding u.s. personnel from i see say persecution which then you know we can't do anything so. you know i mean it doesn't seem that anybody in the u.s. even in u.s. government seems to eat. and recognize that i mean we have plenty of people who i would consider war criminals in this country that are walking around that the criminal courts have you know we know that it doesn't do anything but why is the u.s. so against the authorities which is a very little of the i.c.c. it's really just you know sort of the world moral compass saying like look when things get too bad we all say this let's stop and look at it so what why is the u.s. so against the very little left or any of the i.c.c. what does it mean what's what it what's about it if i mean it's a world stage if they decided to investigate if they decided look right now they have a investigations going on ten of them are against african countries the african union
8:49 pm
suggested that african countries several years ago dropped out of the i.c.c. if they were signed on to it they call it the i.c.c. the international caucasian court so they don't like it for their own reasons many of the african countries so it's not just the united states and russia and china and the aforementioned i think what's going on here is the i.c.c. is now threatening as i mentioned to investigate investigate the war crimes against the united states against afghanistan i mean that gives them the authority to issue warrants indictments seize the united states nationals anywhere in the world so it's more than just symbolic you know with all due respect it's more than just symbolic hey let's just talk about this they have powers as a matter of fact every indictment and that's been handed down and every warrant that's been issued has been against a member of an african country including two sitting heads of state kenya and sudan so you know they could issue warrants they could do all kinds of things and they
8:50 pm
have maybe a little bit more power again whether or not it's ever used or comes to fruition symbolically that maybe we're acknowledging. steve let me ask you this if the united states is this great beacon on the hill of exceptionalism and law and a law and order nation that we claim to be why are we so terrified if an international body says hey we investigated and found that you guys committed some pretty heinous acts in afghanistan and you should be held accountable for that why is that a bad thing. what what criteria do they use what standards do they use what jurisprudence do they use they don't use the united states legal system they use the i c c standard of judgment and standard of investigation what is that i mean who conducts it what are the biases we don't know i mean i don't know the answer to it but i don't want an international body with biases investigating me and i'm sure dan and
8:51 pm
john bolton that donald trump don't want to investigating the united states or for that matter israel now when it comes to the united states as i said we're not a member basically they have no jurisdiction over us israel is not a member and the pal palestinians are not a state so there's no jurisdiction there whatsoever and when the u.s. has gone so far according to some you know they just closed the mission they gave the palestinians i think thirty ninety days to close the mission in washington d.c. it was said because the palestinians wouldn't come to the peace table but many are saying that it was because abbas went to the i.c.c. and said investigate israel for what they did in gaza and bolton and trump said that's not going to stand your addy here so that's how seriously the trump administration is taking a possible investigation unwarranted by the i.c.c. well i mean you know when you look at that what are you know what are the standards what is that and sort of this idea that we are held to different standards than the
8:52 pm
standards of the international criminal court which is honestly that's exactly what i hear from african-americans the united states that i meet with trump again. i don't see us being isolated from the entire world they need us in so many ways and i just i hope you guys are right i hope you're right about that because what i'm seeing is that people are learning to not meet us that's the reality of there is we don't hold ourselves accountable the people who are going to believe the whereas our own are sent to us at the end of the day if we can't hold ourselves accountable for moral high ground i guess for me we have to have that are we don't have any staff working ergo you know there are no you know dude i got i got a search always afford it and. you know it was a pleasure man you took or say thanks for having me but. thanks to you. joe is rapa nui for easter island the remote volcanic island located in the southern pacific ocean is considered to be one of the most wondrous places on earth
