billion worth of three littoral combat ship holes yes one point eight billion for three three holes not the whole ship just three holes of the ship ships one point eight billion you know you know what the real kicker is the pentagon didn't even want them they didn't ask for them they did they didn't want them need them asked for them but yet for some reason our congress gave them these ships anyway and while congress is handing defense contractors like lockheed martin almost two billion of our tax dollars for combat ships our navy doesn't need the water in detroit schools is tainted with lead in copper that's not hyperbole according to the detroit news more than half of the hundred six calls and side michigan's largest school district has have high levels of copper and or lead on wednesday this week the school district received test results indicating that the dish an additional thirty three schools in the detroit

public schools community does district have elevated levels of lead bringing the entire total up to fifty seven schools now simple math tells us that with more than forty seven thousand kids in the best direct that roughly twenty three thousand of those kids were possibly exposed to lead and copper tainted water. officials from detroit's water department believe that the lead in copper is contaminating the water through the school system's decrepit plumbing which is estimated to cost roughly thirty million dollars to repair and replace just thirty million you know for the cost of the three combat ships i mentioned earlier we could have big detroit schools water issues fifty three times over but they go we have utterly useless needless combat ships to build right i mean no one ever said the children are our future or anything like that. but start watching the hawks.

but if you treat it the same like. this one. has to pull out of. what they like you know i got. to. deal. with it. well the one of all the watching the hawks aisles i rolled with them top of the wall it wow so we went from lead now we're finding all copper would say that of people that know you think copper it seems like oh it's not going to it's not not in those kind of doses. short term chronic exposure such as water in your drinking water i mean you can have everything from major stomach issues kidney and liver damage and one of the odd things about copper toxicity is that it's often

hard to to diagnose because it can mask itself in long term as psychological neurological developmental disorders so again you have another thing that the another thing in children's water that hender is development that causes mental health issues causes physical endocrinology and and. logic that one. and a crowd knowledge you can cause those problems so you're talking about a lot of long term stuff and for a very small of much money you can save a lot of lives literally save them in the long run to give these kids a better future but you know it's detroit why would we help them my man and i know what i want in this navy ships to build right you know that there are some good i mean what i mean where we want to say about are about our priorities as a nation when you've got us politicians falling over themselves to fund useless battleships that no one wants and no one me is but we can find thirty

million dollars so that's a few kids could drink water out of out of a a bubbler or drinking fountain you know i mean this is sort of like in june the district report actually said so this is a crazy amount of money it was that in order to do all those repairs it would be about five hundred million dollars five hundred million dollars to repair all of the issues of the school wow you know and look so all right so for the cost of these two three battleships moving them we don't need them that's doing simple tyrrel math in my head that's like for school systems that come down to you we've completely done completely brought up to a nice healthy healthy safety standard for children right i mean with the with the school has to go through just to fix this immediate problem like this is look at the district has to spend two hundred it's starting this started school in september fourth right they have to spend two hundred thousand dollars on bottled water and water coolers for the next several months is like the band-aid to the problem as the superintendent nikolai beatty has proposed

a two million dollars plan to install water high ration stations in each school the claims the hydrogen stations are better because they filter contaminants out of the drinking water and this is like the stopgap we can't afford the thirty so maybe we can get the two million just to get these hydration stations in there because you know how very secure or you know water cooler is like i love the city where you know it sounds like it is doings. great genius thing or like you ordered water cooler but it's got to be it's a sick society we would rather be. a sun surely implements of death and lots of money and implements of debt that our politicians on both sides of the aisle just totally groove but the health of children is not that important i mean hey if they don't get shot in school go get boys and we're not talking about like a handful of kids i know this isn't just the that's one district when you look around the country you have about there's a july report from the u.s. and u.s.

government accountability office and they said that forty three percent of the country school districts had tested positive for lead in twenty seventeen and out of those thirty seven percent found elevated levels and fifty and fifty seven percent of school districts serving more than thirty five students nationwide have either not tested for lead in the past two years or get the didn't know if they had you know that so many that school systems were covering thirty million kids and actually didn't know i don't know didn't didn't know. i mean we were play sports stadiums in this country faster than we were play school. and yet here is an entire projects between plumbing and everything else that would create jobs that would bring communities together that would give work to small businesses but hey why do that when you can buy wasteful said poison. by u.s. secretary of where you know democracy and freedom one of the things that was

a big sticking point this is of course there pupil is the young gun which is believed to be where north korea makes most of its fizzle material the actual nuclear material that was the big one so one of the points that they talked about was the promise to close that in full view of in our national inspectors and to me that can't be. nort if literally they keep doing everything you know just because i had to come up with the guy. come on out of the money i don't want to give up. on the jury oh yeah. mr you just. went. on to a shuffle stemming with. the world and you know that it will go on and you know will be very people who are being treated poorly who are victims it's victim

blaming and it's also easy easy to say that the business is easy to say that you know people are out here you know doing these things because something is wrong with them and it's easy to say that police officers can do their job because you know we're actually trying to hold them accountable for its hard to really pinpoint these problems and when we really come from this years of racism there are years of poor housing poor schooling food deserts and all of the different things that make up these neighborhoods is that years of people not having the opportunity to live in a country where if you have a day. like a dante or like a key you know a certain amount of companies are not going to call you back for a job this is the country that we live in and before he's you know suspect and has to acknowledge that and say that it's easier to store back at the people right right it is and that's what truly broke my heart when i heard you know the attorney general would essentially the top law enforcement official you know saying well it's their fault you know it's their fault they shouldn't have raised

a ruckus and because they raised a ruckus while there was there's yeah i mean there's a reason that major icons of the civil rights movement would like to not perhaps you know horrible part of that very good point were more it's interesting because the hill actually knows that you know sessions his own justice department found last year that the reasons behind chicago's increase in violent crimes were. broadly debated in the arguably complex not be allowed in. the chicago police department was a less of a fact of due to systems that have allowed c.p.d. officers who violate the law to escape accountability that's the big question in the room how important is officer accountability to citizens whose neighborhoods are victimized by crime to me that's the most important thing is that everything police officers there is police of this along force of officers bill of rights everybody supposedly has known different but a lot of them have a lot of you know have some of the same language like in baltimore if

a police officer is involved in a shooting he will she has ten days before they even have to make a statement about it giving them the ample time to be able to come up with whatever the story they're going to come up with you know back out for that story and if it's true or not if you if you god forbid but if you went out and you were you got involved in the shooting or something like that and you pulled the trigger would they give you ten days to come up with a story. i'll call you when i'm going to fail because i'm going to be a lot of people out but within minutes of reading it is that you know you know out of the stand you know policing is a tough job i get it i'm not here to say is easy but if we sit here and we act like every single cop is innocent they should never be held accountable and they are doing a maison job that's a problem it's not true i mean home aside the clearance rate for home a size and bottom one city is like under fifty percent so it's like you know you're locking up people who are homeless or you are going to people for you know for petty things but the people who are actually committing crimes you know just so

great just so amazing to get such a hero you know you can put the bad guys away it's a really good point i said i might why where why why should i say they're doing a great job why are you so defense that when you're close numbers are not up like you're not closing rapes are not closing i mean in every city and a major city that's had a police problem there are stacks of untested rape kits there. stacks of unsolved murder because when it's certain people like we said they don't work that hard to find those murders they just want to get those drug dealers off the street as if that's going to do every day because this the culture we live in it's hero culture all you have to do is go i mean cademy some of the past you know i think run like a mile in thirty minutes you know and then you can shoot a service weapon a badge in a blue shirt instantly a hero yeah and what you see that happens a lot in those neighborhoods to put you back or your same time what you're saying is that you also see a lot of the policing for profit you know what ticket everybody let's get everybody

let's keep locking up everybody because it's feeds the money machine which then keeps those poor people down even more which is silly because if you want to make money off people go to rich neighborhoods and give them lots and take a closer look right we'll go to a poor neighborhood where people can afford it and they're probably just going to but we're actually results through all of this pay it they have the money that's going to take it easy is easy to oppress poor people it's easy to try to control people to make it of ways easy to do that you know it's easy when you're speaking of oppression and victim blaming and horrible things so the judge kavanaugh shero has been going up a lot about his his appointment and the confirmation and all that's going on what jumps out to you as like this whole confirmation mass that the news media is missing what's the part that you feel is just not being talked about in this whole confirmation people saying judge haven't cut him a break because he was a teenager give them a break because he's

a kid boys will be boys he grew up and he wasn't the guy he was it's a major one. i had to sit back and watch my whole generation be raised for selling crack you know even they were you know these kids got caught up in the streets they sold drugs dating get a slap on the wrist they didn't get a chance to reenter society they got thirty forty fifty years you know but kavanagh you know oh he made good he did ok well he got a chance to grow up he didn't go to jail for you know being a right this is a child that had come up in a system he didn't have to try to reassemble it at the crimes he committed it's a whole different story and it's and it's a double standard and it's like it's baffles me that nobody want to hill is saying is how you going to how we just got to let's just forget that. you know and i hope you know i have i have i don't have the most minutely i don't have the most faith in congress but i know but i will say that our hearts i think i hope they'll see

the people rallying against him i hope that they'll listen to these stories i hope that in you know the height of the mitsu movement that people will step forward and do something and get this one right i hope do you think that a lot of this though speaks to d. and that idea of that there's two there's two different americas there's two different united states of america there's the one that light kavanaugh on the politicians and you know the one percenters and all that live in and then there was the other one the you and the rest of us you don't live in an experience every day where you see kids you know not get away with what you get away with them locked up and all that and what i ask you is what can we do to overcome and change this divide that creates two different americas with two different sets of accountability and standards and second chances but a first thing we need to do. it's we need to figure out a way to treat these systems because as long as people like jeff sessions can blame black labs madison a murder rate we will. have a progress as

a country ever it will not happen. other than you know it's our young people all the time more than just telling them to vote but you know you can you can you can be a public defender you can be a prosecutor you can be a politician you can come up through the ranks and you could be a judge like these things are options we had to take we had to take advantage of that stuff is urgent because if we don't then we're going to be going to the same thing over and over and over again if we can get some more people there on the inside to push this away from the privileged sheriff's office. we're going to. i'll be here you guys go off on your. record again a group of room for all those i like doing this i like informing people too much of the you know that's the real key here is doesn't want to have terrorists. well you know that's tough because if the stairs all the way up with what i've been told that that is a real it is a real option and people do need to get politically active and politically involved

that's the real message through the local you know make it happen make it happen the walkers are going to say thank you as always for coming on it's a great great pleasure and thank you for breaking this down for us today. is it has been believed that the bear came as a result of a surplus an agricultural production but a group of scientists from stanford led by professor lew found no evidence that turns the history of brewing on its head and cave and what is now israel scientists discovered beer brewing tools along with residual remains of starch and microscopic plant particles these are found in the process of turning wheat and barley to make beers and cruel but what makes the discovery of the first manmade booze ever created so special is that it means people were brewing beer thousands of years. before they started cultivating grains for cereal in places like the middle east i mean who know it all started with some stone age of microbrew i just think without beer we may not have gotten cereal and then what would we eat after we'd track too

much beer that's a great point but i don't regret that specimen a thing that we may have had beer burst on your car but my little girl of thousands of years that they were making beer it was always thought it was this thing much just whatever was left over and it actually got fermented but this says no no one was on purpose that is incredible that's incredible who are. people right but i refer to beer drinkers exactly and my for the better every time goes out are a bigger threat and that is our show for you to very remember everyone in this world we are not told we are loved so i tell you all i love you i am tyrrel but. keep on watching those logs never great day and night out. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

in twenty forty you know bloody revolution. the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you're still here but i mean your list put video to me in the new bill is that i'm spoiling you to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took. invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these another goal that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. in the.
