and in a day or so will remain fully staffed in operational these prisons mother jones is reporting that as chorus of residents prepare to head for safer ground some person officials and sheriffs are planning to leave thousands of people in the mandatory evacuation zones behind the prisoners guards and staff at a south carolina state prison as well as three city jails in virginia because you know hey why would we bother saving their lives from potential doom and drowning their their only prisoners after all i mean there is there's only a nationwide prison strike happening all over the country right now over the mistreatment and ugly conditions bound in most u.s. prisons but you know who thinks 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 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. as. to. what it's like you know that i got. the. world or the watching the hawks i am tired rope and times out of the left of the one i came believe i have to ask this question in today's vote why is. it's 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 very strange to me. that there isn't more of an effort especially considering the presence or if 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 for somebody a cat five by the time it hits land. 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 stuff and all of those sheriffs and all of those 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 you know 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 know where i go but if we're talking we're going to go on the weekends to raise we're talking about medium security what cesar for these are you know i mean these aren't you know like you said these aren't like wildly violent people are people who are just don't want to die right i mean south carolina's mcdonald but dougal correction 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 inmates like macdougall like you said the bacteria did during hurricane hugo and that was also a category four but that was in one nine hundred eighty nine the person is now much 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 administering. 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 the communication officer for the prisons at north carolina department 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 blackmail 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 building and you think it's ok but this is different the stories are 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 an older. twenty seventeen hurricane harvey inmates were allowed 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 perth reportedly abandoned maids 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 a judge by the state of its prisons the conditions of 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 exact. they want some human. as hurricane florence

prepared to do or worse good samaritans are already gearing up to help once the storm recedes 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 was piled high with donated clothes that eventually rotted and had to be 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 donating are 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 of coordinators to verify the quality of the medicine meaning they simply can't give it out so was never a 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. you know. what happened but really it is a tsunami in the indian ocean so if people in thailand getting litter. is both you know it's when we saw it after her it's. you know i'm coming with

a big say 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 fail to buy what you need it truly is a actually states in their literature to solicit on organized donated goods such as used clothing miscellaneous household items and mixed repairable foodstuffs require helping agencies to redirect valuable resources away from providing services to sort packaged warehouse transport and distribute items they 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 even feed might 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 you know actually one of the big things for especially homeowners during 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 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 cat. turned white collar orange county. eighty five percent

of global will you want to be old bridge eight point six percent market so thirty percent this one is your home with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit for sure and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a are you industrial park but don't let the numbers will be. the only number you need remember it was one you know four to miss the one and only. while the hurricane rages over the atlantic this week mr mustache himself 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 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. about 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 had 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 our national crime. court is conservative commentator steve malzberg welcome welcome

steve it is always great to be here with you guys i love it always great to 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. 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 look we're not interested in these international bodies that are on checked in 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. 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 about it 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 suggested that african countries several years ago drop out of the i.c.c. if they are 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 indictment 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 a warrant say could do all kinds of things and they 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 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 john bolton and 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 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 standards of the international criminal court which is honestly that's exactly what i hear from african-americans the united states and the criminal court and clue. these are all differently but a twenty sixteen report by i see procket prosecutors taken from i know a witness accounts alleges that there were dozens of cases in which torture cruelty sexual assault were committed by american soldiers and cia officers in afghanistan from two thousand and three and two thousand and four these are people wearing the uniform representing the united states in places that we already have a very hurt you know sort of image in steve why wouldn't we if obviously the united states is not going to bring these people to justice and the own military isn't going to discipline them why wouldn't we want those that took part in those crimes to be prosecuted to be brought to justice for breaking our own rule

. on the on the words of afghan citizens who may be members of the taliban or may be making these accusations under the threat of taliban retaliation to them or their families again you know there is a who then what do we do what do we turn to who do we turn to if we're not willing to prosecute war crimes even if even to investigate war crimes if we're not willing to do that who do you we turn to if we can do it ourselves and or other let's take the u.s. out of the equation let's say there is a country committing war crimes with them doesn't want to prosecute or look into war crimes who then does it who where does that fall you can't let it go unpunished you can't let it go on and i say prosecuted that doesn't mean you're already guilty that means just take at the core. well again i'm glad you said it would take in the u.s. out of the equation because we have looked into things we have made adjustments i disagree with them but we have made adjustments. in other things people have been punished and people have been held to account maybe not as many as you like it may

be more than i would like but we have acted and investigated when there have been accusations but again i know no system of justice is perfect but certainly i'm not willing to put the fate of american citizens american military personnel american leadership in the hands of a court again where accusations could be made by anybody and again what's the standard of proof is it beyond a reasonable doubt what see what's the threshold for you know we have a grand jury which they say could indict a ham sandwich how does a witness account yeah it could i don't have a family they couldn't and ferguson you have a cop shot someone armed can and we're going to get at what i'm going to respect eric holder said that the whole scenario was false you know don't shoot you know i wasn't. eating. that i want to say this real quick this idea that grand juries in the united states and if our if we are. justice system here is so perfect because

it's always perfect when it lets off a cop when he does something bad or a politician gets away with something or private mercenaries and irak get away with things it's ok but if that justice system isn't as fair for people who are poor people who are black and people who are oppressed by the people with power that it doesn't help and if we don't even work with people like international criminal courts my concern is where do we have the right to go around bombing and telling other countries what they can and cannot do good that's my concern is that this leaves us an end in a situation where we are going to be isolated from the entire world and how does that help us. well keep hearing every move that donald trump makes is going to isolate us from the entire world and i don't you i don't see i mean we're cutting trade deals now china wants another meeting north korea wants to 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. there as we don't hold ourselves accountable the people who are going to believe that whereas our interests and to us at the end of the day if we can hold ourselves accountable about moral high ground i guess for me we have to have that or we don't have any staff worth it or you know there are no you know steve i got i got a search always a foreigner. you know it was a pleasure venue to say thanks for having me but. thanks to you. joe is right the new way 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 not only due to the large mysterious monolithic stone have carved by the ancient moai inhabitants but also the island's incredible natural beauty but like the erosion that is gradually softening away the features of the grand stone heads
