8:30 pm
what's right for a rover and i'm to have a for a while this. to get me to remember it for fifteen and that's the thing there's a couple things that one is it is a sort of idea that me too was this movement started by a bunch of hollywood white hollywood actresses which it wasn't it sort of got co-opted by hollywood no way no way that i would not a terrible resume but it was co-opted in a way by a lot of white after ases and so it was but it was actually started by a woman of color and seeing this moving into the labor movement is so important and i wish me to had had moved a little further into the you know the food service industry and everything else because any of us who ever worked i worked in the food for service industry for ten fifteen plus years off and on and i will tell you it is a cesspool it's a cesspool i was sexually assaulted while i was a waitress and my bosses said well you know he's someone vaguely famous for doing
8:31 pm
something and so we don't want to ruin that and so that's when you go down it happens at the top levels but it's happening in places like mcdonald's where they will do this and it's not the first time they've heard that we've even heard about there were planes back in two thousand and sixteen there was a survey found that forty percent of women forty percent of women in the fast food industry had experienced and wanted sexual behavior at work including sexual remarks touching and even rape and that's not wish i could say i was shocked by the number but it's about right it is very much everyone i know that's worked in there those kind of things happened so back in may just before their annual shareholders' meeting ten women who were backed by the fight for fifteen people died and the time's up legal team which was part of that offshoot of everything came up they're paying for legal fees to. file complaints to the u.s. equal opportunity commission but as with most things when you say hey i was raped at work they it's four months later and nobody is respond. nobody had any equal
8:32 pm
opportunity administration is doing anything to even talk about it. and you know look these are these are these like you know it's one thing when people you know see actresses and things like that on screen saying this is bad but when you when it's your friends and neighbors that's that's even worse and i'm so happy that this is joined with the labor movement we need more governments to join together and that's the only way and that's it it's not just you know we got a lot we'll talk a lot about intersectional feminism but we need intersection and everything because the truth is this isn't just about one side there is no one size fits all it. is a mcdonald's employee an organizer with fired for fifteen she said quote the motivation is anger we're not going to stay quiet any more we need to have a path forward so that no one experiences sexual sexual harassment on the job not just in fast food but everybody and i get it like when you when they're say that
8:33 pm
because it's like look servers especially women you know they're going to get it from both beds not only other employees and bosses but customers to know it happens on both sides of the kitchen. it really does and it's it's a thing it's just having basic respect for people and understanding that mcdonald's actually responded in what they said was that quote there is no place for harassment or discrimination of any kind of mcdonald's since our founding we've been committed to a culture that fosters the respect as a fosters the respectful treatment of everyone we have policies procedures and trading in place that are specifically designed to prevent sexual harassment at our company and company owned restaurants and we firmly believe that our franchises share this commitment now that sounds really nice from from on corporate you know ivory tower but i can tell you all the the sexual harassment training videos in the world aren't going to change things and less there are real there's a real. discipline when these things happen. people respectful wages.
8:34 pm
hurricane florence is estimated to have caused between seventeen and twenty billion dollars in damages but no amount of money will be able to clean up the mess or fix the damage the north carolina department of agriculture and veterinary services divisions report that around fifty five hundred pigs died as a result of the hurricane the poultry industry lost at least three point four million chickens and turkeys and the nation's largest poultry producer sanderson farms told reporters on monday that out of eight hundred eighty broiler houses in north carolina sixty have flooded another six houses experience damage it will be unable to house boilers until repairs are made but rising cost of chicken wings is the least of concerns for residents of these farm communities because at least thirteen hald manure lagoon is are overflowing due to flooding the lagoons are large pits farmers used to house some of the ten billion pounds of pig waste
8:35 pm
produced in the state each year and in south carolina two patients from a nearby hospital died tuesday night when deputies from the orange county sheriff's department stephen floyd and joshua bishop were transporting these women to a nearby facility the van was overcome by floodwaters from the little p.t. river and while officers were able to get themselves out they were able to save the two women where do you went in forty five of north carolina and nicolette green forty three of myrtle beach but many are asking why the deputies were traveling on a road highway seventy six when rather reports were already saying the road was under most likely under water but more importantly according to a source from w.c. i.v. a.b.c. news four out of charleston the patients were chained in the back of the van or a county sheriff philip thompson released a statement in which he said tonight's incident is a tragedy just like you we have questions we want answered we are fully cooperating with the state law enforcement division just. support their investigation of this
8:36 pm
event watching the hawks reach out to the orange county sheriff's department to clarify reports of inmates being chained but as of this broadcast they have not returned our requests for comment. whoa whoa i mean i don't even know where to go as we i mean. we said at last or whenever that was happening it was a get people out before the floodwaters come because it's what comes after the hurricane that's the worst everybody said that everybody you know and here's two instances it's this it whether we're talking about the pig farms or these women the pig farms this has happened before it's happened every single time and when you talk about feces and that kind of thing that's treated. in the floods that's going to have that's how epidemics start that's what diseases are you know i mean that's . you know it's horrible and then we talk about these officers who you know oh my god it's really hard because i think what's what's really upsetting about this
8:37 pm
story for me is that when it first sort of came out and we started looking at it they were last night and today these these women were being described by the news as inmates and detainees they were neither they were literally patients of a hospital who were being moved to an inpatient treatment facility it's not a high max you know for the criminally insane this is just literally these people were being moved as a courtesy by the sheriff's department. but the sheriff's department originally described them as detainees and the first press release and according to the sheriff's department where he's going to sheriff's department the women had been ordered moved to a different hospital last week but it hadn't been done so by law by a court or by an attorney these women were to be moved before the flood happened or before the hurricane and everything and before things got bad and it wasn't getting moved till today neither one woman had an hour. record at least in north carolina
8:38 pm
there's no indication that these women had any pregnant all pastor had anything these were just mental health patients and the south carolina department transportation said the driver of the van would had to have gone around the barrier that was it was blocking off the street to drive onto an already partially flooded road but. i've read all this does is brings up more and more questions right and that's the big question is why why was this allowed to happen while south carolina state rep justin barrett who is also an attorney who has represented family members of people killed by law enforcement officers he told the associated press if the road isn't in the area where it is a flood risk why are they driving that road anyway people need to know exactly how it happened it seeing it makes it seem like someone took a very very risk and now you have two. people correct when you look at this someone else took a risk this is the same problem with the farms in north carolina per council said
8:39 pm
the issue of the lagoons is all under control they're saying they don't have anybody any of these things flooding but mark so you his environmental science professor at the university of north carolina at chapel hill actually said if farmland is completely submerged it's a good chance wind farms are completely submerged i'd like to see some evidence to show that some us wind farms on the goons have been magically spared as everything else fell under water it's a little bit hard to believe and that's where you have these two things now the two officers are on leave while this is being investigated in the one and the e.p.a. says you know the e.p.a. says they're down there keeping an eye on these on these floods and but again we've talked about this before this is where industrial farming. this is where you're going to have epidemics as you said and sickness and it's going to make all of this worse because people then are you know it's truly tragic we don't know yet but what's truly tragic to me is the you know the two officers could be held.
8:40 pm
accountable for negligence in terms of these women if they're found guilty and if they know that kind of thing they could be held accountable credibility could be out there you're probably not going to see any accountability you know come to the factory farms i think that when the you know with these things overflowing and people getting sick from pig b.c. system and getting into the water supply you're going to take accountability to the corporation now we have to move on i know we're going to look forward to go to break cock watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of adoption government facebook and twitter see our full shows at r t v dot com coming up journalist ben swan joins us to discuss press freedom in the age of social media so stay tuned to watch the home. ministry as police forces in the city administrations of many countries depend on one corporation and that's why mike was hoping the boy doesn't come from the presence of god that this is not the guns not the woods has that he that he got on
8:41 pm
into this it's a must also apply to the 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's dependency puts governments under a cyber threat and not only that. most. of these lives of these are still the only one who will soon be linked to. these two groups. with. these this is the. host i hadn't done the old patients stop and there was a student who was a fund is up and his cards on the phone. and the age of trump winning is all that matters the phrase by any means necessary has truly been weaponized now politics has little to do with policy front and center. i perceive cultural grievances and resentments just sat back out.
8:42 pm
after the war the nazi doctor was still active. in the nineteen seventies croteau had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery. the german company told developed so the demise of the drug it was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy. it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything but. you know she's to use just good choice minix a little mind victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that not only want the money i want the revenge.
8:43 pm
of press and speech is without argument one of the most important fundamental principles of any society or civilization that claims to be a free want because when practice correctly a free press truly is a society's fourth estate not only keeping the citizens informed and aware of the important issues facing their laws but also acting as an important check and balance to the powerful and well attacks on free speech and the freedom of the press are nothing new today's threats do represent a very significant and unique threat from facebook and other social media giants now becoming the new arbiters of responsible journalism after intense political pressure to resume reports that the united states has been using secret fisa court orders to investigate foreign journalists it appears that the first amendment is living on a thin line here at the beginning of the twenty first century joining us today to discuss the freedom of press and speech is that in the digital age is award winning journalist and founder of truth and media welcome back and thanks for having me on but you know i want to stay. by asking you as
8:44 pm
a journalist who has found great success using the tools of social media and you know the internet are you concerned by the recent purges of controversial speech and you know the blacklisting i guess for lack of a better word of news biggers like i'm alex jones and others on facebook twitter and you tube yeah i'm actually stream we can sum it all again thanks thanks for having me of yours but i think that we are living in an incredible time and you start out by saying that someone like me has got success through social media will someone like me with needs just as a as a successful journalist if it were not for social media because of the subjects that i talk about just like you guys we talk about controversial subjects of subjects that need shoes and cover and the only way to build an audience for that is to build it on social media course the problem now is the person that's taking place and i keep reminding people over and over outline your audience as well this is not a left versus right issue it's not just people on the right being purchased not
8:45 pm
just people on the left it's anyone who was anti-establishment that is being purged because what really happens is that did media companies who will become even essentially dinosaurs and disappear and have now come to facebook and twitter and said if you want to be legitimate you only allow our police and you cause everyone else out that's what's been happening i completely agree really as an addict that's a very important point to make is that i have just as many friends who are far left activists who are getting purged off of social media and i've seen it happen to anyone sort of outside of it if it's considered outside of the mainstream merits a little bit misunderstood there they get per events happening over the years now but you've recently investigate some of the rather interesting connections and motivations between those recent social media purchase for your truth and media program what political connections and motivate gave motivations have you found that would actually surprise most people. you know one of the things that that we came across is a memo that was actually written right after the election at the end of twenty
8:46 pm
sixteen billion in two thousand and seventeen and it was written by david brock from media matters for america and essentially in that moment in that was trying to raise forty million dollars said that they had a goal of trying to stop trump in the future but just by you know you would expect that maybe that was other going to raise money but what was interesting is there is a particular point within forty nine pages of this memo that talks specifically about getting control of social media and it talks about facebook and twitter you tube and google it says they will no longer be allowed that's an interesting terms no longer be allowed to allow essentially dissenting voices they don't use the term dissent they say propagandists like they say things like serial misinform ors to have a platform without those companies facing representations which is an interesting phrase the other thing they say is that they have access to twitter and facebook and a linux to be able to determine who is actually getting traffic through these sites
8:47 pm
who they want to shut down and tamper i want to go back to what you said there were terrence anti-war activists up folks who were against a g m o's folks who believe in vaccine freedoms if you were on the edge of what is considered correct stance in terms of mainstream topics if you're not right dead in the center with where the establishment left and right that's it's all the same beast with what establishment left and right agree yes those voices are be perched the what will think that all these people who have been common is that they're dissenters but in fact they dissent from each other it's not like one vein of people they're all being be purged and that's what that's what really you know about like you were talking about really bothers me not just because yes you know we work in that area so yeah you know it could be you next week it could be me and that kind of old saying it's just i think we all care about people should have information to. to make choices for themselves it shouldn't be up to a facebook or
8:48 pm
a government body to say this is what is correct and this is what is about it people should be supplied information and is what's going on with the trump administration right now when you see a huge abuse of the lights the system you don't have to be a fan of trump or an enemy of time to recognize that the vice the system and how it was used up card age how it was used up throughout this up russia investigation is a complete abuse of power so the problem i think is in this with the second half of the answer is is there's a much bigger issue here than just journalists right the basic issue and we've been talking about this for a long time is a major issue and i think what's happened is with the journalist issue with what's been happening with the trumpet ministration it's a great opportunity for the public to see that fight is a form really big unconstitutional court system that allows for all the spying gathering information and they say what its constitutional because we're not doing it to american citizens and then they do it to american citizens so it remains completely unconstitutional journalists are not should not be and they're not but
8:49 pm
they should not be a protected class in this country i'm sure you guys would agree with that but with the public as a whole it will problem with this place this is the way the problems with the warning system and the spying issue it's all been set up to protect the country and it doesn't attack political in the senate and i think we have a great opportunity to recognize that as a country right now but i'm not sure we will you know and what sort of i grew through and once of interesting is that jim dempsey a professor at berkeley lot of former member of the privacy and civil liberties oversight board he was actually arguing in the intercept article on this that because there is a recognition that monitoring journalists pose a special concerns and requires higher approval but that he then looks at this whole buys a ping as a positive and something the media should welcome you know but i got to ask you what why or why has so much of america released the learn a view kind of gone to sleep on our civil right live or. this is a just because they've been worn away over all these years now i think it's because
8:50 pm
of exactly what goes like the other conversation because the mainstream media in this country will tell you every day that it is a privilege to be useless god is a privilege to be bound up it is a privilege to have an overlord to control your every action because it's all sacred it makes life better and they tell us that they've been telling us that now for eighteen years since nine eleven for nine dollars seventeen years i guess this person or person roots they've been telling us this over and over and over again and i think the public believes them for the most part because they're constantly told it's ok this will just make your life safer and make your life better underline with people like that really something not nine eleven to remind people that you can have an argument about whether or not we are more safe in this country but there is no question but today we are not more free than we were before and freedom that is becoming something that is a memory in the structure something we once had but we have to tell you generation of people who are now grown up not even recognizing freedom that we all head we were their age that's what i meant so there's a it's
8:51 pm
a very scary thought and that's why we have good journalists like yourself and everyone else out there working hard thank you so much for coming out of the. transiting x. so planet survey satellite also known as tatts launched a probe twenty eight thousand it's already almost sixty light years from earth if you can believe it but she is not on vacation tess is on a tear a mission to survey the solar neighborhood and its estimated two hundred thousand stars what she's looking for are moments when stars like blinks or their brightness drops by looking for these deadly weapon on moments as well be able to locate the x.o. planets causing my life to him as they transit that we call these planetary trans us and they could help us find new earths in fact not only to test send back a brilliant image packed full of constellations to a regular to were. galaxies and. a cloud orbiting the milky way but
