7:30 am
you know i got. the watch the marshlands i robot and i'm to have a while it's so mcdonald's. to get me to remember it for fifteen and that's the thing there's a couple things it's one is it is a sort of idea that me too was this movement started by a bunch of hollywood out 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 actresses and so it was but it was actually started by women 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
7:31 am
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 say a mess for doing something and so we 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 all do this and it's not the first time they've heard that we've even heard about they were going to play it's 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 unwanted sexual behavior at work including sexual remarks touching and even rape and that's not a 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 happen so back in may just before their annual shareholders' meeting ten women who were backed by the fight for fifty p. . and the times up legal team which was part of that offshoot of everything came up
7:32 am
there 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 has responded nobody at any equal 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 it it's not just you know we get 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. mcdonald's employee an organizer with fired for fifteen she actually said quote the
7:33 am
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 saying that 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 and 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. i believe that our franchises
7:34 am
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 respect for wages. 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
7:35 am
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 hauled manure loons are overflowing due to flooding the lagoons are large pits farmers used to house some of the ten billion pounds of pig waste 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 you're. cording to
7:36 am
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 to support their investigation of this event watching the hawks reach out to the orange county sheriff's department to clarify reports of inmates being chained but as of this broad case they have not returned our requests for comment. whoa whoa i mean i don't even know where to go as we i mean. he 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. treated. in the floods let's go get over
7:37 am
how epidemics start that's what diseases are you know i mean that's. 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 story for me is that when it first sort of came out and we started looking at it you know they were last night and to 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 in the first press release and according to the sheriff's department where he's going to sheriff's department the women had been.
7:38 am
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 woman had an arrest record at least in north carolina 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 on a realm 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 will south carolina state rep joe just i'm 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
7:39 am
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 as a serious risk and now you have two dead. 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 the issue of the lagoons is all under control there are saying they don't have anybody any of these things flooding mark so see his environmental sciences 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. these floods and but again we've
7:40 am
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 than i do you know it's truly tragic we don't know yet but what's truly tragic to me is that you know the two officers could be held accountable for negligence in terms of these women if they're found guilty and if they you know that kind of thing they could be held accountable ability could be out there you're probably not going to see any accountability you know come to the factory farm when the you know with these things overflowing and people getting sick from pig beasties submit getting into the water supply you're going to see accountability to the corporation no we have to move on to look forward to. a clock watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics of government facebook and twitter see our poll shows at our t.v. dot com coming up journalist battles one joins us to discuss press freedom in the age of social media so stay tuned to watch the.
7:41 am
i've been saying the numbers. they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars and. more than ten dollars timestamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you loan to the rich the six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remembering what one does it shows to miss one in only. twenty four you know bloody revolution to. the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to. revolution is always spontaneous
7:42 am
or is it you know here i mean your list would be with me in the new bill is that i mean you let me go to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four g. . is invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these another goal that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. lawmakers manufacture consent to the public will. when the ruling classes and project themselves. with the final. listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the room sit. believe. me or you leave room.
7:43 am
for the press and speeches without argue about 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 and foreign aware of the important issues facing their laws but also acting as an important check and balance to the powerful and all 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 to. it's
7:44 am
now becoming the new arbiters of responsible journalism after intense political pressure to resume reports that the united states has been using sacrifice of 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 the day in the digital age is award winning journalist and founder of truth and media and welcome back thanks for having me on burn you know i want to start by asking you as a journalist you 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 you know 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 began thanks thanks for having me on here but i think that we are living in an incredible time and you started out by so you know someone like me is about success through social media
7:45 am
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 mean shoots 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 it's taking place and i keep reminding people over and over all rely on your audience as well this is not a left versus right issue it's not just people on the right being purchased not just people on the left it's anyone who was anti-establishment that is being purged because what really happens is that big media companies who will become even essentially dinosaurs and disappear and we have now come to facebook and twitter and said if you want to be legitimate you only allow our abilities and you cause everyone else out that's what's been happening i completely agree really is and i think 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 a. happen to anyone sort of outside of if that's considered outside of the
7:46 am
mainstream and merits a little bit misunderstood there they get per events happening over the years now but you've recently invested some of the rather interesting connections and motivations between those recent social media purges 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 we came across a memo that was actually written right after the election in twenty sixteen believe it one seventeen and it was written by david brock from media matters were essentially in that movie and that was trying to raise forty million dollars so they had a goal of trying to start trouble in the future though we just thought you would expect that maybe those of the going to raise money but what was interesting is there was a particular point within forty nine pages of this danger of misinformation and i still believe that's true i believe that misinformation is always out there or information we have the smarter people could agree with you more good the group the
7:47 am
more yeah and it was it's interesting because one of the reasons i got into journalism or got back into journalism after seeing how mansard media works in my twenty isn't going over this is terrible and i got back into it is because i didn't see it getting any better you know we kind of say like i want you want me to go off the air fine but you've got to start doing your job so i don't have to as all of us don't have to and one of the things that scares me and one of the reasons i keep doing this is because of this is a court that came out this week the freedom of press foundation discover that to twenty fifteen memos laying out quote procedures for processing foreign intelligence surveillance act applications targeting known media entities or non members of the media. now while these rules were said to only apply to foreign media and their journalists i mean obviously. you know obviously we all know where that's going but then just it can you explain to us why that's so dangerous explain why this kind of government surveillance of journalists is so danger. yes and has
7:48 am
fag on american. so it went american and it is dangerous but i would even go again a step further so let me just answer two hath by saying as it as a journalist there's certainly a chilling effect whenever government is saying we were going to spy on you we're going to get your phone records we're going to know exactly where you are at all times we're going to be looking into all these other issues there is that a chilling effect when you're a journalist as i don't want you to get everything into your back and certain stories. a great example of that but i think most people don't understand is what's going on with the trumpet ministration but now when you see a huge abuse of that like 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 the carter age how it was used up throughout this hour russia investigation is a complete abuse of power so the problem i think in this was 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
7:49 am
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 spine to gathering information and they say what's 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 they should not be a protected class in this country i'm sure you guys would agree with that because the public as a whole we have a problem with this place the system we have a problem with the warning system and the spying issue it's all been set up to protect the country and it doesn't attack it's 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 hear him and what sort of i grew through him once of interesting is that jim dempsey a professor at berkeley a lot of former member of the privacy and so. liberties oversight board he was
7:50 am
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 he then looks at this whole thing 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 liberty of the just because they've been worn away over all these years now i think it's because of exactly what those like you the other conversation because the mainstream media in this country will tell you every day that it is a privilege to be a slip it is a privilege to be bound up that 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 seventy years i guess it's been eleven for nine dollars seventy years i guess this past anniversary 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
7:51 am
your life safer and make your life better underline with people like that really something on 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 that today we are not more free than we were before and freedom that is becoming something that is a memory in the statue something we once had but we have a tear generation of people who are now grown up not even recognize in freedom that we all had when we were their age that's what americans do so it is a swimmer it's 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 with a bomb that you guys think. transiting x.-o. 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 tell us is on a tear a mission to survey the solar neighborhood and its estimated two hundred. thousands

of this is in the stillness this is really one of the. most of the this year. with. these this is the. one who started on the old vision stopping the war since june is in front is up and describes in the fine. i think we can agree that the decision to intervene in libya was perhaps too quickly taken but we also know that the libya crisis today as we see it at least as i see it is a multifaceted crisis because it's a political crisis at the security crisis and it's an economic crisis so i think the main problem of the post twenty eleven transition was to put complete emphasis on the political process and not sufficient thought and strategy into the military dialogue or d.d.r.
