tv Watching the Hawks RT October 9, 2018 2:30pm-3:00pm EDT
2:30 pm
time to get serious and start watching the hawks. below or to. treat the bear like real that this would. be the plot of. the day like you i got. to please. please please please. please. please please joining me from the deep deep in the medicine it hadn't dropped. in there let's go to tyrrell venter thank you so much for joining me today. it is it is a little rainy and surely up your blood boil boy talk about chile is these p.f.a. yes is good gracious yeah it's sort of amazing how how long they
2:31 pm
say am i in the body but i want to talk a little about first is the point of this are the sort of central part of this case is that this lawsuit is different because it asks for action instead of cash why do you think it went this way instead of just asking for the millions or billions of dollars oh. well you know but you know how much i love seeing corrupt corporations who poison people pay through the teeth you know in thousands or billions of dollars i love that but what's really interesting about this is the plaintiff the plaintiffs are seeking something fascinating robert the attorney for the plaintiff she actually told the intercept quote this lawsuit could provide a mechanism for addressing and resolving those concerns through a truly comprehensive and independent science based process paid for by those that actually created the problem and not by the american taxpayers they they want to peddle they want to they want to study this and they want the corporations who
2:32 pm
poisoned us to actually pay for this study and then follow the rules that this study but potentially put into place what's really interesting the science panel was actually created to study the effects of p.f. away in the middle valley and found a probable link to six diseases from exposure to chemicals one part of the seagate panel which was created during a lawsuit against the palm this has precedence so that the company cannot contest the findings of the panel so that this is what they're seeking actually has a certain precedence and goes to educate us more about the content of the content of it that they put in all of our bodies and apparently across the country of the world and in the end that's amazing i sort of find that fascinating and it's a very interesting way of sort of using litigiousness to force act. and just getting money back from them now this year number of fire companies and fire training facilities across the country on replacing their fire fighting foam which
2:33 pm
was made from the sort of schedule b.p. . chemicals because it's been going to show and to contaminate groundwater and it's been in city after city the environmental working group actually calculated that one hundred ten million americans may be contaminated with these with these chemicals through their groundwater and through these fire fire foam so something that's meant to say about us actually ends up killing us the long run. we need to stop the contamination before it gets worse right how you know how are we doing that it doesn't just affect fire but there you've got to imagine that all new job it's a dangerous job now we've already made it even more dangerous. and there you are you know you made one of the tools the former fighters rely on dangerous to the firefighters i mean it's completely insane. so meyer michigan state fire marshal surveyed fire departments. six hundred twenty eight fire departments have responded
2:34 pm
and two hundred eighty of the six hundred twenty six fire departments now have class b. foam which is this form which some of the foam is being kept because it is the stopping chemical fires but this was actually not for anything else. twenty two that they create with this you know it's awfully ironic that the thing that so distant full of chemicals is the best thing to so fly these chemicals. one of the things we have to remember is about these kind of chemicals is that they're they're not just in one place they're in your drinking water and things that are supposed to save you they wrap your food. it's a version of tough one which is one of the offshoots i believe. dupont our dow had put our dupont have put together is another chemical that's like to fly on but not teflon but still also very horrible and you know it's like what else out there can
2:35 pm
get us. but truly is it right i would have slowed we can't even get anything right at this point in terms of chemical use. eradicating smallpox is possibly one of the biggest challenges humanity has faced and it took decades and cost billions of dollars but now microbiologists are worried the scourge could possibly come back and say a controversial study is actually to blame our two strain of the chavez as more on this story. smallpox is considered to be one of the deadliest diseases in history and although it was eradicated in the one nine hundred eighty s. a controversial study of a similar virus is sparking new concerns earlier this year researchers published a paper in an open access peer review journal and has since generated global concern in the article the scientists describe how they were able to piece together
2:36 pm
bits of d.n.a. to resurrect horse pox although the virus hasn't been seen in nature for decades the researchers were able to assemble it using genetic material they ordered from a company that sent the sizes d.n.a. while horse pox doesn't harm humans it's a close cousin to smallpox which killed hundreds of millions of people before the world health organization eradicated it in the one nine hundred eighty s. with vaccines only two stocks of smallpox remain one held by russia and the other by the united states for research purposes the new work is raising troubling questions about how terrorists could use modern biotechnology even governments are known to experiment in bio warfare which makes these sort of studies particularly concerning on a global scale critics argue that the paper demonstrate. it's how you can synthesize a deadly pathogen and gives way to much detailed information on how to do it and now microbiologist are worried that that same kind of technique can be used to
2:37 pm
revive smallpox while there's a smallpox vaccine many are worried that the virus strains could be manipulated in a way that the vaccine would not work a move that could put the population at risk of a lethal pandemic if the virus was released as a terrorist bioweapon the study has reignited the long running debate on how science should be regulated reporting in new york trinity chavez our tape. because our poisoned water wasn't enough we'd like to bring use all fox i mean you know me i'm not a big one for regulation or getting governments involved in doing things but seriously can we just get rid of the smallpox why are we keeping it why does anyone that goes out to the u.s. and russia this seems terrifying what are your big i know it is you know it is if it has if you can weaponize it you know the military industrial complex of the world are going to use that as a weapon but you know what's really sad is that kind of goes along with the first story you talk about again it's are we cutting off our noses to spite our face of
2:38 pm
the pursuit of you know whether it be better rappers for fast food or you know studying the horse you know pox or whatever you know it's really ridiculous the we would make mistakes like these and allow this kind of information to get out there you always have to be cognizant that look human beings for all of our greatness we also can drop pretty low and if you put something out that people could then later manipulate you've got to be aware of that you can't just trust people not to do something wrong with it because tragically that's kind of human nature you know i mean idea of bringing making biological warfare great again is just not something you know it's like we just get past the idea of chemical warfare or a ball and the idea of biological warfare that horrible and let's not get. fagot is that the ideas and let's not make smallpox grating. and it's horrifying they make people how they are not thicker. it is but remember we're still talking about
2:39 pm
societies that use chemical weapons against their people all the time let's not forget the tear gas which our police use on protesters is considered a chemical weapon and you cannot allow in you're not allowed to use it in war zones but we still do protestors of that makes any sense so you know there's a lot in our society that we need to start balancing out especially as we drive forward into the future and and on lock even more potential horrors we have to take that ten seconds and stop and say who is this really smart are we doing the right thing well i'm going to. take this show into the next next half and i have to say good bye to you for today it's ira thank you so much for for coming on today and letting us know what you think again we got to be a little more careful with our stuff thank you so much as we go to break kafataris don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we covered outpace the confederacy ourself as that are coming up we'll talk from the u.s.
2:40 pm
diplomat jim john tress about the disappearance of a prominent saudi journalist from all his might come to me how did you take on and they are how much on stage you know watching on. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. from others just as the words of sympathy but i want to. go to a specialist about what many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentries on the dresser used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities are the best person as they are. most needed more don't have it up
2:41 pm
on i guess i mean a lot less than that what about the. water they'll choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the. movie for the gravels the both of you what if you could be about to be. somebody. who would trump the push to put it both. of you out to the public you're the bulk of the. show seemed wrong. i mean you get to shape out just because to educate and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
2:42 pm
what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press this is what the four three of the more people. interested always in the waters at the. first sit. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people was terrifying those just know really doesn't mean that we're even many of the times families want the death
2:43 pm
penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace it's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. thirty nine year old saudi journalists from all cars show gate is missing and even presumed dead after he was at the saudi consulate in istanbul reportedly to obtain documents he needed to marius fiance in turkey and has not been seen since turkish president oregon is requesting perfect life the opportunity to search the saudi consulate and access to surveillance footage from the time in question officials in turkey alleged that they have information suggesting because. he was murdered in
2:44 pm
the card slit by a team of some fifteen saudis flown in especially to do the job though no evidence to support the claim has come from the turkish government as of our broadcast show he's a writer of a washington post global opinions a column best known for being the first major arab journalist to interview us some of bin ladin in the one nine hundred eighty s. and is known for being highly critical of crown prince of saudi mohammed and some months reform movement earlier this year to show he told al-jazeera quote as we speak today there are saudi intellectuals and journalists jailed now nobody will dare to speak and criticize the reforms and by the crown prince so as pressure between saudi arabia and the rest of the world heats up over everything yemen to iranian oil for the disappearance of jamal because shogi forced the international community to act joining me now to help further explain this mysterious former. thank you for thank you thank you so can you explain to me
2:45 pm
a little bit exciting one of the hard things for people to understand is how could a crime committed inside a foreign consulate be in vesta gated by the country the consulate is in and how can that cause problems will and the there have to do it with the permission of the country whose consulate it is in this case saudi arabia or in the worst case they can conclude on the consulate they say we're expelling you we're taking back over this property and they could search it themselves i don't know there were at this point but i have to tell you. my my spidey senses tingling here there's something strange about all this because when this first happened my thought was why i had been so monk can get away with bloody murder literally and they haven't and i figured this will just be swept under the carpet but actually it's become quite a story now maybe it's because he was with the washington post he's part of the journalistic nobility so to speak his life counts but it is odd especially after trump came out and really criticized so do you arabia so we want more money for you protection you would last two weeks without us i almost have
2:46 pm
a feeling there's. something going on bigger between the united states saudi arabia and of course you know bibi netanyahu and and mohammed bin salma and or big buddies the ultimate power couple maybe maybe something's changing room when there's something going on behind the scenes what it what's interesting is the timing of this is that as saudi arabia is sort of trying to modernize it so i say in quotations i would be definitely a quotation by jason meyer mostly using the crown prince as this like vision of modern and like he's so hip look at him he is cool never. sure and essentially the end of the day he still wants to be a dictator he just wants to be dictatorial monarch you know it's it's not really changing how does a free press hurt him and in relation how does not how does sort of turning your back on a free press going to help them in any way and i don't i don't know if saudi contacts
2:47 pm
i don't think free press matters when or where the otherness goes i don't know i would look at his previous writings or regarding he would be a critic of mohammed bin so mum doesn't mean necessarily he's for freedom and as we understand it and is that even viable and so in the saudi arabia look the entire rule of the al saud family depends on strict muslim with the al-shaykh clan you know let's remember this is the the third saudi state the first one went belly up in one thousand nine hundred one the first one in eight hundred eighteen with the head of the house of saud i actually literally as head hanging from the gate constantinople they they they know they're sitting on a powder keg they have been since the kingdom was established in the one nine hundred twenty s. the idea of liberalizing it i think is a very speculative concept at best one of the things that came up also during that same time is that there is a you know at the same time that there's you know saudi arabia possibly having something to do with killing or disappearing. and there's also a female journalist in south. that you know as i tried to but have attracted far
2:48 pm
less attention of what i like when they cut the head off of the shia cleric when they execute people for sorcery of the again they get away with bloody murder all the time the question is this suddenly has gotten legs and that indicates me something else is going on one of big turkey it seems are that it's that it's happening in turkey because they don't have the best press freedom they don't they don't land so i am not press freedom and at all in fact i one of the world's biggest jailers of journalists so now with turkey now seemingly defending a journalist and is this a sign of change in turkey as far as the press or is this more about we don't like you killing someone on our turf might be needs or maybe simply pot and kettle and that they're using it because it's useful for some bigger game frankly i'm surprised even blamed on putin as we know love to kill germs during was just for fun wrestling it was well it's so early in the week because i mean when you get out
2:49 pm
here i'm sure it'll be to ask jennifer rubin i'm sure she'll get it or not only that but they were the point is i don't know that it has to do with press freedom in turkey and it may not even have to do with the wounded sense of sovereignty on turkey support and may simply be that for other reasons they want to pick a fight with the saudis and they're using this as a pretext so can you kind of explain to me the simple terms of why turkey and saudi arabia are are not on the best terms so there are a number of reasons to some extent we can see it's a struggle for supremacy in the sunni world i mean obviously iran is the leading shiite power but you have a distinction between the gulf monarchies particularly and a more populist base like the muslim brotherhood that on is close to that let's remember that for a long time one of the one the ultimate enemy was left this baathism in communism the saudis the other gulf states supported the muslim brotherhood but with them with the arab spring that begin to say you know this whole populous thing is sort
2:50 pm
of getting out of out of control and. being a monarch may not necessarily be the best place to be if these people take power so i think there's that sense that that. it is pretense to become the new sunni you sold to the sultan of the sunni world can use a more of a populist campaign against people like the saudis so they cut off their support to their terrorist cetera et cetera so i think there is that distinction between them and there's a lot going on also in this sort of soup of the middle east is that you know saudi arabia and iran there are saudi arabia saying we don't need iran's oil and iran is sort of laughing at them do you think this has anything since i think what we're going to something with especially since the turks are going to get hammered with american sanctions for buying buying iranian energy you also have a parting of the ways on syria let's remember that for most of the war for the last seven plus years the saudis the turks and the qataris and the gulf states have all been supporting the same terrorists in syria right now with turkey moving closer to iran and russia where does that leave the saudis that their game plan especially
2:51 pm
since it's pretty obvious assad is going to win the war in syria one of the things i found really interesting about this story is that normally u.s. officials are you know elected u.s. officials here they haven't met a saudi saudi situation that they can't excuse is they want you know saudi money and they won't take their it's really hard to find someone really being critical and it was so i was sort of shocked that one of the biggest sort of iran haters and saudi supporters senator lindsey graham actually surprisingly tweeted this out today if there was any truth to the allegations of wrongdoing by the saudi government would be devastating to u.s. saudi relationship and they will be having praise to be paid economically and otherwise do you think if this comes out that the saudis did in fact have killed or that they're holding him somewhere and they're lying about it are we going to see the same kind of sanctions that we saw with russia and madeleine or the chinese
2:52 pm
north korea are we going. see that is there any chance of that and think there's i think there's a chance but i wouldn't bet on it. remember they are the biggest consumers of lobbying services in this town they own half of this town the israelis of course on the other half and in alliance together they run they run the city everybody knows that. if there is a break between them if for some reason i don't and you know who is turning against us that that could be big but i think that would be a necessary precondition to see any really serious confrontation with what do you think is going to happen i mean what are the next steps we have you know because shogi still missing there is a lot of reports of what could have happened what are we going to see next obviously they need to get into the consulate do you think that that will show anything are or what do you think is going to happen or should we expect to hear i think the ball is in they're going to court he has some options as i say he can simply order the consulate closed and search the thing now what if they do that and
2:53 pm
they don't find anything then we still don't have any answers the question he also has i'm sure there's a lot of dialogue going on between between you stumble in riyadh to try to come to some accommodation here and the saudis will have every reason to make some concessions to especially if they are guilty and they need to find some way to to to cover their rear ends let me ask you this as someone who sort of bet on that side of you know you get information like this one morning and it's like what shall we do what you have to analyze this is a journalist's life is that it does that make it any more or less. of an issue does it make does it have more or less power when it's a journalist who's at stake because it seemed you know as a journalist watching that it's terrifying that someone can just silence you when you go to pick up some documents or something do you think that that has more of a standard or is this new is this surprising that there is actually concern over attorney it's bigger than i would have thought but it really depends on who the.
2:54 pm
journalist. after all we've seen for example russian journalists killed who cares they're not really human beings anyway right exactly you know exactly who it is and you if you were the situation and anybody cares much about you if i was you and i don't know exactly what movies washington post new york times and then something like that you know then you're going to get some attention because this is part of the you're a stalker see and that's so sad because that's our class this sort of world we live in you know this is the one place we mark supposed to have classes and be separated it's like we're going. right out i'm always trying to. positively hoping that this ends up being something that's a lot less horrific than it sounds in the news but we'll keep an eye on it and hopefully things will and without any more pledge to thank you so much thank you so much for helping us make sense of this thank you. because players dressed up as their favorite comic book and movie characters to express
