when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flame of. the room see. all of these innovations like the like button is a way to turn on nearly be productive workers creating wealth for themselves into slave labor creating wealth for mark zuckerberg this is all about me us live right and this is all about the robots who are taking all the productivity and passing through labor arbitrage to the pockets of the elite.

greetings and sell you take. put on down your big macs and put your man splay name home because they are watchers we begin with a story that will not only send uncomfortable shivers down the spines of all the corporate capitalist oligarchs across the land but the lovers of the patriarchy as well you see my friends it appears that the me too movement as joined forces with the fight for fifty yes on tuesday this week employees slaving away under the fast food empire that we know is mcdonald's broke ranks and went on a one day strike to protest to protest workplace harassment at the golden arches from miami to chicago to new orleans all the way out to san francisco in los angeles the mcdonald's employees protest stretched across the united states and ten major cities. from the east coast to the west coast all organized by the fight for

a fifteen advocacy union chicago community organizer called carla meyer in reference to mcdonald's told agents france press that we can no longer accept that one out of two workers experience workplace sexual violence under their watch. and make no mistake watchers this nationwide strike over workplace harassment is historic in the making. is historic despite despite the lack of gravity it's given in the mainstream media professor of history at dartmouth anneliese or like told the cut that quote a multi-state strike on the same day at the same time yes this is a first this strike is a sign of a very different kind of labor movement led by women of color it's not just a handful of actresses in hollywood. so now the real question is will the executives of mcdonald's stand up and actually listen to the plight of their

workers or will they choose to ignore the pleas of the underpaid harassed and exploited. ladies and gentlemen you won't find many happy in this meal until you start watching the hawks. at the bottom. but you know that i got. this. as well for the watch remarks i am tight rope and i'm to have a. so mcdonald's. food get made two and then buy it for fifteen and the other thing there's a couple of things that one is it is

a sort of idea that me to was this movement started by a bunch of hollywood out white hollywood actresses which it was and it would have got co-opted by hollywood no way but no way out of that i had not been terrible resume but it was dead in a way by a lot of white actresses and so it was but it had to have caused me to. seventeen to 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 goons 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 according to a source of the 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 work. whoa whoa i don't even know where to go i mean. he said at last or whenever that was happening i was i 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. 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 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 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 around the barrier that was close it was blocking off the street to drive onto an already partially flooded road. and i 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 joe just i'm back on byrd 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 is in an area where it is a flood risk why are they driving on 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 dead. people correct

and 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 they're saying they don't have anybody any of these things flooding but mark so busy 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 on these floods and on these look 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 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 know what 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 farm. you know with these things overflowing and people getting sick from. getting into the water supply you're going to see a credibility of the corporation no we have to move on to look forward to the. corporate court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of adoption cover the facebook and twitter your full shows at our team dot com coming up journalist buttons one joins us to discuss. the age of social media so stay to watch or. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for them to

you shouldn't let it be an arms race is on all sides very dramatic developments only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk. the press and speak without argument one of the most important fundamental principles of any society or civilization that claims to be a free one 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 lives 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. it's 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 as a bargaining 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 strongly concerned that all again thanks thanks for having me on here but i think that we are living in an incredible time and you started out by saying you know 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 or 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 that'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 are 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 up have now come to facebook and twitter and said if you want to be legitimate you only allow our voices and you cause everyone else out that's what's the trail of accountability that writes and so i

think that's one thing that journalists need to do a better job of but i think there's also a misnomer next to your right which is the idea that the public must be protected from bad information and i don't know that that's necessarily true and what i would say to that is there's always bad information there's bad information coming out it's. while i'm speaking on this network there's bad information coming from over there there's bad information coming from fox news right now with us and we see how do you protect the public from it is to tell her that by allowing more voices because the more there are the more arguments there are the more that people have a chance to say what is the debate over there are other ideas not just one or two the idea that we're going to create accountability by limiting voices to only a few who let's face it we all know are not legitimate voices those mainstream mainstream networks are not presenting truth we all know that but we have kind of created entrapped in this idea that the biggest danger to

a free republic is the danger of misinformation and i don't believe that's true i believe that misinformation is always out there but the more information we have the smarter people can agree with you more of the group the 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's and 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 fight is a court that came out this week the freedom of print press foundation discover that to twenty fifteen memos laying out quote procedures for processing foreign intelligence surveillance act applications targeting known media entities are known 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 dangerous and has tagged on american you're. going to marry again and it is dangerous but i would even go against. further so let me just answer to half by saying as it as a journalist there's certainly a chilling effect right 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 understand is what's going on with the trumpet ministration but 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 fights the system and how it was used up card 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 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 gather 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 but for 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 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 you know and what sort of i grew through them once of interesting is the jim dempsey a professor at berkeley a 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. 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 is a 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 slits it is a privilege to be bound up it is a privilege to have an overlord who controls 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

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 your life safer and make your life better underline with people like that really 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 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 had we were their age that's what americans do so there's a 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 over there by that yes thank you. transiting x.-o. planet survey satellite also known as tatts launched
