rights of member states including voting rights article seven has so far never been implemented but tensions of late have been ramping up sadly the commission shares the concerns expressed in the report the particular risk regards fundamental rights corruption the treatment of roma and the independence of the judicial individuals into government and rich themselves their family members deference from public funding from unit b. and taxpayers' money the elections this year were held in that most fear of aggression and intimidation. already made up your mind i stand here to defend my country and this is a matter of on or this insults the honor of hungary this uses double standards and violates the treaties it says that all poles earlier we talked to hungary and government spokes persons all time contacts about why his countries become a target for brussels. this is not
2:31 pm
a legal process this is a bollywood process he she by the political left and the liberals in. the european parliament elections next me for the by my fairly as co-host. welcome all the way through from minnesota so james woods now his response the actor told the a.p. that quote free speech is free speech ok it's not jag dorothy's version of free speech and he's referencing the twitter c.e.o. so woods now so the story is now that he can use his twitter account but only if he deletes the tweet. i got to ask you. what is a pretty standard conservative it seems to me that he should not really going to impact our elections. no no not at all and i firmly believe that you know what we're smart enough to know the difference and if you're going to be influenced by james woods or any other actor out there that's your choice and it's your choice to
2:32 pm
make like you said so brilliantly earlier he's an american citizen it's his free speech to tweet about whatever he wants to or can shut him down but ultimately james is can say whatever he wants and puts out whatever mimi wants at the end of the day it says right. in one thousand nine the price per pound of pork was about four dollars and twenty eight cents adjusted for inflation in two thousand and sixteen it was topping out at five dollars and forty nine cents per pound but the prices of bacon are even higher over six dollars a pound and some place this this is partially due to the increased demand for pork and bacon since late two thousand and bacon many mania hit the states but there's a much bigger culprit affecting the cost of food at the grocery store climate change chris hostile or director of animal science on the national pork board told scientific america that we're garbus of which dataset we looked at there was about a ten percent decrease in overall productivity caused by heat stress every year and
2:33 pm
a twenty fifteen study led by the u.s. department of agriculture and scientists johnson found that heat stressed pigs raised in warming climates produce twenty three percent less protein than those raised in more temperate climates with one exception traditionally farms pig breeds tend to be more resilient across generations to changes in climate however the more common industrial bred pigs do not meaning indigenous breeds which are able to adjust to climate change more efficiently are dying now due to modernization animal science professor at the university of missouri columbia timson raised the alarm saying quote it is scary because once these breeds are gone they are grown so as with more people to feed and dwindling land in which to produce food on is our desire to perfect nature going to end up taking the bacon. so tied you know. what do you think yeah. yes yes without
2:34 pm
a doubt. what are we doing so you think you know that people and food producers can learn to operate responsibly do you think there is a way to do that or do you think this is one of those things on a level that is going to have to be mandated by some sort of some sort of law or some sort of government overreach or do you think people just you know fix it all themselves. you know i wish i could say that people would fix it themselves i wish i could say that you know industrial farming in that you know cap capitalist mass that is industrial farming could fix itself but we haven't seen the evidence up to date that it will and given the fact the food is one of the most basic necessities of the society yeah i think it's time that the government as much as you know they do a lot wrong we do need some kind of government oversight and that we do need official oversight to say hey maybe we need to step in so that way people can actually
2:35 pm
continue to be fed because it can start with the pig issue and maybe everyone lives bacon or not everyone says it a but it's going to with climate change and the fact that it's going to start jumping to other aspects of the food industry if we don't get ahead of it now. we're looking at some. you know and this is the thing about you know people say well i'm a vegetarian and i don't eat meat but we've seen study after study has shown that the nutritional content of even vegetables and food that we're getting is lower and lower and lower and these high temperatures caused by climate change they want to believe it or not the temperature is going up that you know it reduces an animal's fertility if then that decrease in fertility is passed along from piglet to piglet so we're literally breeding animals that are worse and worse and don't give out so the whole industrial answer by the way is to just have farmers invest in cooling technology so now it's just a seed for the pigs and that so we know one that's very expensive it's you know it
2:36 pm
takes energy to do that's going to make climate change worse what do you think i mean europe has actually been quick i want to say the e.u. is pressing and is looking at actually eighty percent eighty percent of the plants agricultural land now used for grazing in animal food production even though meat delivers just eighteen percent of our calories and they're saying europe europe's animals that found sector has exceeded safe bounds for greenhouse gas emissions nutrient flows and biodiversity loss and urgently needs to be scaled back is this a time that we're going to have to just finally take a serious look at industrial farming and say it is killing us on so many levels. oh we have to we have to take that step back and we have to change the way that we get our food and source our food because you know and you're you know again it's that thing like look at lettuce like i use a bird let us has no nutrients in it whatsoever because the nutrients have been bred out of it so you're dead on point it's not just an animal eater problem it's
2:37 pm
also you know a vegetarian problem too we've got to rethink how we get our food and where we get our food and that starts you know that's the basic tenet of life as food air water if we can keep those three things protected on a consistent basis we're up a creek letter and we may not have a crate and go out. and moving on as we go to break don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics covered and facebook and twitter as their full shows that are t. dot com and coming up we've got phil collins beat by on acumen and floating bar. watching. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the
2:38 pm
world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. financials i don't like it i'm on it. on the friday after the summit blanks in the future so cracker guys are. in october. twenty four teen comedian hannibal burress referred to bill cosby as a rapist in a comedy routine while performing in pennsylvania he even encouraged the audience to google bill cosby rapist the set went viral and then many many many accusers of bill cosby came forward sparking women from all age groups to come forward and tell
2:39 pm
their stories despite the best efforts of the mainstream media to excuse his behavior or as c.n.n.'s don lemon did blame cosby's victims for not biting it off bill because we will be sentenced this week for the drugging and raping of temple university employee andrea can stop it or it is america america's natasha suite has the story. eighty one year old bill cosby who used to be known as america's dad could either go to prison or be sent home on probation it all stems from crosbie being found guilty of drugging and molesting a woman at his philadelphia home back in two thousand and four now consummates legal team are pointing to his health conditions which includes being legally blind as to why he should stay out of prison the judge's options are brought here which include everything from house arrest probation jail to prison back in april because the show star was convicted of three counts of aggravated indecent assault against forty five year old andrea konstanz konstanz says drugged and assaulted her after coming to him for career advice cosby reportedly settled konstanz claim back in two
2:40 pm
thousand and six for three point four million dollars now there are sixty accusations from women have surfaced since the case began none of them have led to criminal charges but some say because we sentencing make a huge statements about the so-called need to movements so the first time caused he was put on trial the jury couldn't reach a verdict after a second time earlier this year because he was found guilty it's a sentence that could possibly put him behind bars for the rest of his life some who stand against the question for more victim impact statements to be read before crosby sentencing caused these attorneys have made it clear that whatever the outcome they plan to appeal in los angeles and sweets. so tire out let me ask you do you think because v. is too old or too sick to go to jail and be punished. no no not at all because the because nobody nobody asked you know cause. this is about
2:41 pm
sending a message this is about not only punishing bill cosby for what he did to those women that he's been found guilty of doing but it's also about sending a message that it doesn't matter at the end of the day because those women didn't get a break they didn't get a break having to live their lives after being attacked by this man they didn't they didn't get you know fair treatment after the fact and said oh you know they were taken they had to live with this their whole lives you know i don't care bill cosby is blind and sick he broke the law and attacked these women and he should face the repercussions for his actions one of the interesting things we keep seeing now is that there is this idea that it happened a very long you know with cavanagh or anybody else well he might have done it but who cares he was young it was back then it was all these things. do you think that's hurting women because i want i'm seeing now is this see i told you that me too movement was too aggressive see it's too black and white see you know sean penn oh it's so hard on men. i wonder what effect that's of ultimately going to have
2:42 pm
on women and on reporting when we're in the middle of this like save poor blind bill cosby but who cares about some woman who's out to live with pain great for twenty thirty forty years what do you think do you think this is more of the what do you i wonder what it's what effect is going to have on young men what is it teaching them in the era of me to. my problem is always but i feel that we need to rethink the statue of limitations for sexual assault in all forms of sexual assault you know you see with like the catholic church and things like that a lot of times they can't punish these priests who you know attacked little you know boys and girls and things of that nature because i will the statute of limitations ran out oh we can't bring charges against you know this guy you know harvey weinstein for some of the stuff that happened with him because oh well the statue of limitations. we need to rethink that because we have to punish these
2:43 pm
crimes in order to send the message that this is unacceptable in our society and if we don't you know that we're that's just going to further insulate and allow it to keep happening again and again and again and i think you asked a good question not only me for young men but you know what does this tell a little what does this tell women what does this tell girls that you know we need to be nice to the boys when they're convicted of this you know what what does that say to women wanting to come forward ask you the real question return yeah i think what's happening now is you're seeing a repeat of anita hill we're getting lectured again that here is a powerful man who did a law i mean i'm seeing the articles on bill cosby and it's starts out with this whole he did so much for the black community he gave so much money really was a great person should we really send him to jail and what that says to women and what the harvey weinstein case and cavanaugh on every one it's how it's been handled is that instead of giving a fair trial and giving you know respect to the people who are there and those
2:44 pm
victims it has been a constant slam on the media to movement or everything else and i think it's going to hurt everyone in the long run by protecting these men. smuggle opinion on. the robot takeover might come in many forms but the next battleground for technological advancement is the human body from upgrading our limbs to creating organs in the lab the future of our bodies is decidedly digital and with some scientists predicting the control of aging in our palms in just twenty years there is much to consider r t america's ashley banks as more. according to science an expert's we may be getting closer to manufacturing our bodies to fit our desires and the near future scientists predict we will have miniscule robots called . no bots sewing around in our bodies that will work as
2:45 pm
a hansard is intensifying our natural abilities alternately freeing us from the limitations of biology has set for us transhuman as author and campaigner result is to von ran for the twenty sixteen us presidency as the nominee of the trans human it's party of the time he had a chip implanted in his hand he says he was one of only a handful of people who have won now tens of thousands of people do companies have been encouraging their employees to get chipped so that bosses can keep better track of their employees work performance on top of that bio hackers are amputating healthy limbs and replacing them with a brain controlled robotic once scientists say robotic limbs are only fifteen years away from being a more functional than actual human limbs and savant believes in a little over a decade by onic organs will outperform their biological counterparts which is good news in the long run as it's no secret robots threaten jobs for the average person
2:46 pm
scientists say the only way people can out piece machines it's by directly merging with artificial intelligence it will not only help humans live a longer but experience things that can usually only be manufactured some experts hope we won't only see people living longer but what if things like eighty year olds climbing meltzer everest and washington actually banks are to hear. would you be willing to become by attic if it meant you could live a longer life. well as you know i have a massive ego so a part of my brain of course but you know what i also paid attention when i read the and rise vampire chronicles and realize that immortality is not all it's cracked up on and i don't know we want to have that i mean it takes i'd imagine it takes stamina to want to live one hundred eighty two hundred years plus you know
2:47 pm
this isn't going to be shared with everyone it's really probably going to only go to like the top one percent who's going to be able to afford this kind of technology to begin with so that we really want the top one percent who are controlling things today so live for five hundred years really you know i'd rather not learn just finally we're finally we're in the last last gasp of already you know a generation of bad decision making and bad choices so i'd rather we move on from that but i can also see how amazing that with be to be able to have more by onic limbs for people and it started the thing is it's for people with disabilities or with certain things and then to literally live forward and you know maybe down the road giving people that after they've worked a whole life in a factory or a foundry and how bad hips that they can go climb a mountain when they're in their think he is and you know certain things like that so i think there's good and bad but you know we already. know you're right and
2:48 pm
there is because it's like i think anybody who's had a parent or a loved one you know suffer through how do you ability to get is when you know you know you lose a limb or a hip goes bad or whatever maybe we all and i love science and i love the innovation of science so you know it's we just have to be as a society ready for that change we can't kind of ignore it and then have it suddenly be upon us and allow it to be abused you know we have to really look at that and i think weigh it because look i don't think anybody wants darth vader's running around you know nobody wants that you know him but nobody wants he's more machine now. man and why does. what happens to sports tie i'm a little bit wait i'm confused what happens to sports when suddenly you have people who may get a just a bio next leg because you said it'll be better than the human leg will we then you know the olympics will have by onic olympics i mean there's so many options for the
2:49 pm
future tie what are we going to do i mean the n.f.l. in baseball can barely handle the steroid era do you think they're going to be able to handle the bye i don't care i'm in this is ridiculous but you know we like i said we have a society we have got to be prepared for this because it's coming and and no one's really going to stop it like there's not very big at least i knew we don't want to help people at the end of the day so we just have to be prepared to be mechanisms in place so it's not abused absolutely thank you so much for joining us from the ventura compound in minnesota thank you so much for joining us today. seventy five percent of the earth is covered in water one third of the earth's arable land is his for livestock but with the world population growing by over eighty million people annually will need to figure out ways to produce food without taking up more land which is where the dutch company celadon comes in with its floating farm the world's first floating farm is being constructed and rotterdam's
2:50 pm
marital wavin are and will house forty dairy cows that will produce around eight hundred liters of milk per day the three level facility will be anchored to the ocean floor in the harbor meaning that in the instance of storms and hurricanes it will remain safe from harm in addition there is a nearby grazing feel for the cows so most experts say the cows well actually prefer the floating farm turns out cows so good seed thick one level will grow grass and other crops to feed the cows and another that will process the dairy products for human consumption into yogurt it's an ice cream and all those good things so it's got a whole new wave of farming looks like it's literally going to be on wait. who is excited that's our show for you today and remember everyone in this world we're not told we're less than that so i tell you all i love you i'm top of the wallace keep on watching the hoss and have a great day and night everyone. emerged
