you know regulation i will agree with you that the regulation is based on very old standards and they're trying to take something like the internet and online services and turn and apply old pre modern tech world rules to it and quite frankly it doesn't help business and it doesn't help that's where the sort of net neutrality is a basic idea that kind of got overtaken by a lot of corporations because then it became like a rallying cry and i don't know if either one of those is the answer i don't think you know like net neutrality is going to fix everything i have are i think there's need to be a broader rules but steve you know the states are arguing that the f.c.c. can't have it both ways on the one hand the commission claims it lacks authority to regulate net neutrality on companies like comcast and because as you said but claims it does have the authority to preempt state regulations doing that on these companies so let me ask you steve are most card carrying republican supposed to be all about states' rights and less government intrusion is not exactly what's

happening here with with just lessons in the d.o.j. california well it's very interesting that you bring up these two issues because first of all as i said if you go to talk to former republican point of view you know law and order and you can't have rogue states superseding their authority against the federal government but having having said that. republicans all are getting rid of net neutrality is for freedom and business you know we've seen less in the last three years there's been studies done since net neutrality was instituted there was less investment in high speed internet access and broadband than ever before it's been restrictive and what they what getting loose is what this is really does that there's a it's going to go out of steve at the end of the day but you know realistically i think we can see good points to all sides yeah sure you're. now you know absolutely well moving on forward now. asheville's who come to work at the united

nations the world bank and the international monetary fund are allowed to bring their same sex partners to the u.s. with them on a special work visa as long as their home nations recognize the domestic partnership this july the state department sent out a diplomatic note stating that as a matter of principle and reciprocity and countries were same sex marriage is not legally available and the sending status unable to accept the accreditation of the same sex thousands of members of the u.s. diplomatic and consular post the broad the same sex domestic partner would not be eligible meaning they plan to cease allowing same sex partners of diplomats to get visas to the u.s. i left their home countries recognize a legal marriage between the two this week the state department officially announced that effective immediately u.s. embassies and consulates will adjudicate visa applications that are based on a same sex marriage in the same way we adjudicate applications for opposite gender spouses at this time by the way offices sex couples must be legally married and ordered to be recognized as

a median family under their visa the new changes require that of same sex couples however if we go back to the two thousand and nine changes made by the secretary of state hillary clinton we see that it to require that quote the sending state is requested to submit appropriate documentation that it recognizes the domestic partner relationship which could include evidence that the sending state provided the domestic partner with a diplomatic or it official passport so just like then if you are a diplomat coming to work in the united states and you have a same sex partner that partner must be recognised by the home country and if that country does not accept a must of partnerships of u.s. diplomats neither will the us in return alfonso down the president the us l g b t q i employees advocacy group told business insider that quote this could be read as the state department taking a step to advocate for their own l g b t employed however since neither stations nor all out war has ever moved a foreign nation to change its marriage laws to be in line with. democracy it seems

an odd choice to punish foreign nationals because their native country does not align with ours on gay marriage and this is a fascinating little story that we've been led chewing over all day here and i want to start and ask your kind of reciprocity is defined as you know the exchanging of things with others for mutual benefit specifically privileges granted by one country to another i want to ask you both how does this rule which doesn't change the most important clause you don't require home country recognition of the union help make things more equal or fair for us diplomats going abroad all star which used to. well i think this is all about fairness in two thousand and fifteen this country recognize gay marriage you can't be a diplomat from a foreign country and come over here as a heterosexual with your you know your partner. so why should you be able just because you're homosexual to be able to come here with your partner if you're if

you're not willing to marry that partner here and again there is a cavity out there is an exception as you correctly alluded to that if the country from where the diplomat is coming from puts states in writing that there are a you know gay homosexuality is not recognized or is against the law or punishable by some kind of you know penalty in their home country they'll make an exemption provided that the home country treats you know the u.s. diplomat the same way they're looking for their diplomats to be treated here to me it's a quality our focus should be not on the united states doing this which is which only affects from what i understand about ten people but we should be focusing on these countries many many countries where homosexuality is punishable by death even not on this rule that the u.s. is changing and by the way when hillary in zero nine instituted this change in rule that allowed the diplomats to come over with their their significant. so there are

. only homosexuality only gay partnerships not heterosexuals they were included so it was discriminatory from the beginning and that's actually an interesting point that i wanted to make because i didn't think of this you know a lot was said about hillary clinton when she suffered secretary of state bringing those kinds of domestic partnerships to the state department which is great that employees before ogre fell actually went through that she was giving that but again in this situation it still goes the onus it's not making anybody change but what it doesn't require something else in reality so as you said u.s. diplomats have to be legally married in order to go overseas to post with their partners so this policy now just mirrors what u.s. policy is you can't even if you have to be legally married in the united states and the answer to this was that the state department confirmed that foreign diplomats in the united states can get married in the united states all these people are worried can literally go to city hall in new york and get married and it will be it will be granted in most countries grant reciprocity to us same site domestic couple

in fact the u.k. is actually bring that up the u.k. is passing a law and passing it so that opposite sex couples can also get domestic partnership so let me ask you this is where i have a big why are we making state sponsored marriage and state sponsored you know marriage the key to a sea of our relationships and that i mean this is a private contract between two people isn't this you're showing how much we need to get the government out of our lives the most. well no i again i just think it's being fair because if it why should diplomats be able to come to this country with you know if they're if they're homosexuals or lesbian with their part with their partner but someone who's heterosexual can come to this country with their partner who would also get the visa why the visas only go to a special class of people here and to me that special class of people is people who get married yeah you don't get married you can't bring anybody you can't make them

regular people can't get married here because then they go home and it's against the law and i'm i'm sympathetic to them they might be killed in prison get fired who knows what so that's where our focus should be why do these countries have those repressive policies yeah that is a fascinating idea and that's where the focus should be but i do real think at the end of the day that i kind of lean more towards domestic partnerships over marriage because then that can cover everybody not just folks who want to say the states were married or things like that steve malzberg always a pleasure to have you on thank you so much work i would respond thank you both thank you i was going to break our watches don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we program facebook and twitter see our poll shows that are dot com coming up author and educator d. watkins joins us to discuss the latest controversy surrounding kanye west of the thirteenth amendment as well as mikey collins because the latest twists and turns there all this and more so stay tuned to watch.

the wings of the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. just as there was a simple but i want to become a lantern i was the last post on this planet but there's many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sides address he used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities. than. mostly to morrow i don't have much time i get them in a lot of class and i want to that. they can watch as they all choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house lawn mover fully god knows. both of you what is the who beat up to the. offensive struggles of many couples. the push to put impulse response both both of both of you out there to do the both of the.

truths seem wrong. when old rules just don't hold. any. get to shape out these days become educated and in gains from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. join me as the socially on the dollar sign with the chill and i'll be speaking to get us to the world of politics or business i'm sure. i'll see you that.

it was quite the busy weekend for pop culture and politics talk watchers highlighted by a controversy filled saturday night live as former harvey weinstein golden boy matt damon cracked jokes about the drunken gravity s.l.t. history of recent testimony of supreme court justice nominee brett kavanaugh but it was a mocking hat wearing kanye west or ja as he's now known who took the controversy crown this week and who after his s n l performance tweeted this represents good and america becoming a whole again we will no longer outsource to other countries we build factories here in america great jobs we will provide jobs for all who are free from prisons as we abolish the thirteenth amendment message sent with. abolish the third team amendment for those not familiar with that particular amendment that would be the one that abolished slavery that reads neither slavery nor involuntary servitude

except as a punishment for a crime where of the parties shall be have been duly convicted child exists within the united states already placed subject to their jurisdiction kanye mediately followed up by declaring that he was tweeting specifically about abolishing the slavery as a form of punishment section of the thirteenth amendment which many say justifies our current incarceration system and that he was not referencing that section that abolished slavery in general i'm here to help us sort through the xcuse says justifications of our heads that are bones when politics and pop culture come this other educator do you welcome. always a pleasure or you can also have a. boy a boy. back in the news again. you know stirred up controversy for the trump support of this you know his tweets of the thirteenth amendment i'm going to put it to the table. is this just more publicity stunts that kanye uses to like raise himself up and raise up his profile or is kanye really believing in what he's

tweeting and really believing him more than say so. i do think it's a publicity stunt but at this point in the game. country right now it doesn't matter if it's for a put this to be on because kanye west is a god it could have the power to pump ideas into society their show comes on around the clock it's a they're a billion dollar machine full of the information and we've got to realize you know look at the country that we live in this is america where a textbook company put slaves were actually great workers and interns so you know you have a guy who's influential in hip hop promoting and pushing me same ideas trying to make people think that you could just abolish the thirteenth amendment and then a few months ago and he said that slavery was a choice it's like trying to rewrite the american story from the perspective of the old press the make will look like great people will never be able to move as these

situations will never be given even probably a tad president does the president just do a complex if you don't acknowledge that it exists right now to this day where we can all agree that the thirteen men met thirteenth amendment section on slavery where it states that it's legal for citizens convicted of a crime is like needs to be changed i think we can all at that stable agree that that part of that amendment absolutely needs to be changed and given the impact of the devastation the u.s. prison system must have on black america should there be bigger consequences for kanye is lack of clarity not just this usual round of like well who say it's a mistake to be honest i care a lot of a lot of hoops he was young he was it was saturday night live. why don't we excuse this kind of stuff why don't we make people own their words you know the beauty of social media is you can use it to unite smart people get together into

a fight against injustices and things like that you can take people from one side of the world and help them find their long lost family members on the other side. world what makes social media toxic is a celebrity like himself who doesn't know what he's talking about all have an platform of being able to spread these false ideas that's where the problem comes in and it's no way to regulate that would judge that because if we try to stop them then it's not freedom of speech but if we attack a mistake everything you say sounds stupid which it is then we look like me people earlier today he just said that you know bron james should be in cleveland so he should build it so he can build a factory to put people to work and i'm saying. you said so one le bron james as many businesses are he employs people all over the world that's a b. has a school that is going to work to not only build families in the community of akron when he comes from but to put them on a path to be successful. getting a proper education but then the final my final point is you can live in l.a. and have

a factory in cleveland like people do all of the time of those easy's that you sell all over the internet there are not many in america they are not. going to be anywhere you want to downtown l.a. and. that is not. a lot of they do that why are you crying about this when you're the guy if that makes these easier make them affordable there's still many i'm going to let you have the platform you can reach millions of people you just say anything so you know it's the job of the journalist and the job of the mentor and a job of the teacher is it's up to us to you know we have to say no you know kids turn to ash is off don't listen to call using music it's not good anymore and you know that is the only thing worse than his music or emails his ideas so you know we have to sound is this is this dusty at this point. yes that's kind of dusty you know speaking of that speaking of justifications and excuses i want to. we've now had to sit there two weeks and i'm sure we're all like exhausted. kavanaugh you

know testimonies and all of this kind of mess they might vote for him at the end of the week but what i want to ask you do what jumps out to you is kind of the the last hypocrisy in all of this the thing that no one's really talking about but it's like right you're in front of all our faces so you know when i think it's to me a race kid twelve years old. the way the officer described him as this dangerous grown man took his life i think of mike brown a teenager a kid he didn't even get a chance to you know experience manhood he got described as this monster i think of trayvon martin how would george zimmerman who was obviously wrong you know you know didn't listen to the police officers when he told them to not pursue was able to paint this guy's this monster and they tried to you know find images. on the internet try to distort them to make it look like this to me personally then you get the people like. you know he's a kid he made

a mistake so what he people you know some articles that even list him as a rapist economist women attacker but they say he's a boy you don't want to ruin his life and you get to this guy kevin know who's fighting to be able to score who's been caught most are you guys no better to me was this guy seems like he was every time he and hails you know we're missing what we know we can do you know we can't judge his girl for something he did he's a kid is not a kid like what he did you know suppose we had that high school but the fact is that he did it. a a lot of other things on top of that but there you go he just to be a boy he has to be a boy that made a mistake that's all that's going to the idea if you go to a good school if you come from a good family and feel like this is classed as a minute's greatness and you see it everywhere there's this idea that he came from a good school he did all the right things he came from the right background that we shouldn't take that away from him while you have someone you know from the white house or something saying that dr ford should be responsible for her actions when

she was fifteen. and this is that's where i'm like i find that we just don't have a clear understanding in our culture of like what an adult is and if you are black young man you are treated like an adult no matter what but if you're not and that brings me to the cap or next thing and then nike because i feel like there's a lot of hypocrisy on that side of saying like what who gets to be who is the victim and who should be let off but nike recently it was revealed while they put out and did such a great thing of making you know just. the. political donations and all of that but they found out the majority of its political donations to. two politicians in groups are mainly going to republicans are mainly going to groups that don't agree with what cabernet dead or again don't believe in that. so you know.

how does the making of income value like how do you come back from that how does this how do we separate the politics of business and the politics of politics let me use that so i do think it's important for us to acknowledge that those donations . as a company make employees or people who identified as working for. so we have. a million dollar check to the republican governor and he also gives a percentage of donation to the democrat in income the year before but what i will say i will i will say this. if ninety wants to continue to move in the right direction we have to sit back and see how they respond to this you want to respond to this you know what so many ideas you can't just one is social where again this social justice bandwagon and you know trying to play both sides in a film you know well for we've got to play in the fifty you can't play a fifty because if one side is happily advocating for children to be separated from

their families if one side is happily advocating for building a super team a sexual tsotsis for the supreme court if one side is advocating for me is the end of xenophobia race is that you can say oh we want to support these people who want to make america a better place and real life and then try to play the other side too so if they want to continue in the right direction i think that it was a great step and as we see financially it made money so if they want to continue to you know be in control of that you know corporate responsibility we need to see how they respond because one thing we do know i've been a black whole life and everybody around me has been when i really know it's. going to be let's all sort of forget. member that systems united in the supreme court told us that money in the states equals free speech and so they can give money to anybody they so choose and in that set up in that dynamic you can't criticize somebody for what they give their money to and what what job they do because it's

kind of i mean that's that's the argument right everybody is free speech you know that's the whole mess of citizens united but i got to be thank you so much for coming on and always a pleasure and talk to. men can live with them can live without them or can we according to a sicko they published in b. of c. biology the very first all female termite colony was discovered in southern japan researchers couldn't find a single male in the forty two hundred termite quality is even after counting for a year and a half but all female colony is how been documented in some ant and honeybees species both male and female terminates were thought to be necessary for a colony to survive the wrong sexual termites found seem to have a bald millions of years ago with an x. for chromosome allowing them to reproduce without a male term and now science is telling us that males are not essential for the maintenance of some animal societies where they were once thought to be completely

necessary but don't worry so ok guys it took the termites a few million years to learn to live without males so human men have a little more exams to evolve before we dismiss them entirely so it's ok. i love the fact that it took a wider year and a half to catch on that terrible john. for joining us one that's got to be one of the worst jobs a royal we need to decode all the terms i could speak on all the females on the rails. so our betters are overdub every member of whatever lives world you're about told we were loved up so i tell you all i love you i am tired rolled with and. top of the washer goes august never a great day about it but.

america is a house deeply divided and that division only continues the entire brett kavanaugh saga has turned into blood sport demanding each and every one of us pick a side we're in new territory and that place is called winner takes all. cooked additional note of what was and gets up to linger some of these it's inconsistent. and it's not the most. simple yet so when i'm with you to. look at with a showing of the blue chips going to win the chit don't you think it will show. your position so to. both of us shipping. you up and most of the book is the work of the boss and you will have still to say no so i don't know what the move. was the latest news in the bus.

stop us no worries i'm all right so yeah that's good just wisdom of those. little fish through the summer in the store oh yeah. i've been saying the numbers mean something they don't matter the us is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten light colored prime stamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per cent. first second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business

show you know for two minutes one can only assume by. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. plus you know that's not the word of sympathy i want to become must enter and i won the last post on this but many of them look for refuge in the so called sentries sides of the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities the best person to ask than call mom. was needed more no i didn't have my son i got him in a lot of class and the one that. they had that was the option was to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house for political rivals. the who could be about to be. a fifth of many couples won't. get what choked up or to put impulse response both of you up with

a few hope of. the rod wins a reprieve from some u.s. sanctions the international court of. the u.s. people now trust donald trump. that's according to new data from

a washington based think tank. with you. public opinion in the latest film. or lost.
