opinion than u.s. citizens over the age of fifty here's here's how it all breaks down earlier this year pew research gave a cross-section of u.s. adults ten statements five facts five opinions and then asked them to be categorized as such surprisingly or well not very surprisingly depending on your level of pessimism only about a quarter of americans overall could act accurate accurately classify all five bags will statements that's twenty six percent and about a third could classify all five opinions statements as thirty five percent and all of that about a third of eighteen to forty nine year olds correctly identified all five of the of the backchannel statements as backchannel compared with two in ten among those ages fifty and older to win ten and judging what was opinion did not fare much better for our over fifty crowd with only twenty six percent of them identifying the five statements as opinion only that much. this is of course leads to the all important

question of why why is our learned elders here in the united states having such a terrible time discerning fact promote pinions alexis madrigal for the elastic he posits this he says the real correlation with poor performance is exposure to television news which has fallen off among young people but remains very very high among older people yes ladies and gentlemen it appears that our poor parents and grandparents branes up for living through the rise of talk radio and twenty four hour cable news networks bill o'reilly and wolf blitzer may have finally melted it may have finally cracked from all that. but you know what rather than leave them abandoned frothing around in the candy land world of the bad i was in the head of these let us throw them a line and get them started watching the whole. you. want to go to. the bank like real that this would.

be the plot of. the day like you and i i got. was that we. would. be. welcome everyone to watching the harks i am tired and on top of a lot of lives seem to have the old way was only more when it comes to discerning fact from opinion the news stories about suburbia infotainment is a thing and it's causing problems well i'm not entirely surprised i'm not you know i mean we've talked about a lot of how how the change and sort of legacy media into new media and how people are digesting that and trust but i think what's interesting is is how people actually try again they notice the difference but do they actually trust the media

that they're watching that's a good question and one of the another study is a recent study by the american press institute found that younger americans are more likely than older americans to lack trust in both the media in general and even news sources they rely on i don't even trust they don't fully trust the news sources they rely on for their news and converse lee a majority of adults forty five and older is fifty two percent call the news media trustworthy while only a third of those under five under thirty five thirty five percent agree so. if you're younger you're much more discerning you don't track as much where it seems like if you're over fifty five they are really trusting to have to have the does that mean that the millennial is are questioning more oh me nice channel plug there i like that was that according to. our viewer is there ever. even i don't know what's right so here's we're going to have some of the ten questions that were used

in this pew research poll to you know basically these were as i said earlier were posed to people and said ok is this a fact or is this of opinion is your job to say whether this this statement is a fact or opinion all right democracy is the greatest form of government this is one of them is that a factor is out of opinion that's an append you are correct and so are eight to seventy six percent of eighteen to forty nine year olds also correctly labeled that as opinion only sixty one percent of those over fifty correctly labeled that as an opinion that's incredible all right next one ready immigrants who are in the u.s. legally have some rights under the constitution correct that's correct again ok you got that right. that is a fact yes there you go as a fact out of that sixty percent of eighteen to forty nine got that only forty eight percent correct of over fifty correctly identify that as a fact and not a no pinioned you see you know what that partisanship believes in two facts and

opinions health care cost per person the us is the highest in the developed world is that a factor of opinion i would say about the fact you are absolutely correct it is a fact eighteen to forty nine year old seventy six percent had that correct interestingly ages fifteen up also got that correct as a fact so that's one of the few that were dead he even were both age groups knew that that was that we pay so much for me yes that we paid too much for our health care but it's actually how like that's kind of a truth that everyone knows but yet something like immigration. oh i didn't notice it was factual the constitution actually i was you know illegal immigrants. just generally people we've decided on our constitution that all people are to be treated by the regardless of their citizenship so yeah. it's interesting when you look at the use of the younger the yeah i mean the i think what's interesting is the you know their mother but those under fifty five are much better at discerning

the concept of what is an opinion and what is fact and that's the thing like you can say i but i agree with that but it's a fad it's not a fact when you have you know numbers but money knows are less likely to strongly identify with a particular political party or a particular religion and i think you know part of that is that it makes it easier for them in some way it's that's why their ability is stronger to be able to discern what is a fact or what is an opinion because they don't they weren't you know they're not sort of blindly following whatever ideology is there they don't have faith in the ideology they have faith in the fact they push back against that indoctrination yeah they don't want to they want you they want solid want to we want to actual things that are happening it's all this other stuff just isn't that interesting to millennialist and china. i wonder what government body is really really old and decision that would kind of screwed things up. wait how old is congress.

and do have them have they taken must i wonder they got every sixty five seventy eighty years old most of them still. there is nothing better than a god protest ah quaters the great patriotic moment when you and other like minded individuals gather in a public place to speak your truth raise your voice of power bring to light the great injustices of the land and collect your well deserved protest chaps. well you know actually welcome to the world of crowds on demand it beverly hills counseling firm that specializes in hiring background actors for protest rallies and flash mobs for your favorite political events. boyd nothing says you got someone to rally behind your cause and you've got to pay people to show up. most politicians have to pay people to be nice to them and pretend that they like them so it's not that

they're actually paying people to come and pretend like they like them in public that's a good point and you know it's interesting is this this is this is not some brand new twenty first century digital age thing no i mean you've been seeing this kind of thing in u.s. politics it's like the big it's a boss tweed in new york good luck but there are another century and in the eighteen hundreds of just shovel them out there given you know given the crowds out there given the sign of just so it looks like they're supporter thrown into a voting booth and vote for tweed you know we've seen that over the years constantly yeah well one of the thing that came up and we've talked about on this show is barack. where you were you can join a six twenty fifty and when donald trump first and now there were stories going around that he had maybe used another company that was like it came out that he did he reportedly hired actors to cheer on the announcement of him and his announcing his presidency back in twenty fifteen am which became kind of the joke because everybody was looking at it going to be higher those people because they look i got

to. and then they kind of your came out and said we're going to be there for him but this is something that's used a lot in here as you know here's a flash mob about those surveyors you know these moment these stunts these p.r. moments i mean it's just p.r. now it's p.r. and advertising multiple politics and elections are so why are we surprised there you're saying we shouldn't be and then the tragic thing with this is whenever you i think when you see manipulation where people are using an agency to fill a crowd for a cause or using an agency to make someone seem more popular than they actually are things like that the thing that upsets me about that is that makes. you know the. parks department of the white house or the national mall says well we need to start charging the protesters that gives them credibility to do things like that because if protesting is now just basically a corporate event you know and we've turned it into that right then that gives them justification to say well it's all fake anyways so why shouldn't we charge them for

the bathrooms why should we charge them for their security you know are we really corporate ties when our first amendment right you know i mean if you go to protests at a congressional hearing you know you're going to get a fine you know you're going to get so ultimately why not if people want to pay our cover someone else's cost to find those the idea i mean you know what happens i mean things just because it's fun t.v. and just because a politician says it doesn't mean it's the truth in fact most people lie. so yeah trust no one all right as we go to break god watch don't forget to let us know what you think the proper to cover the basics of twitter and see our poll shows that are too dot com coming up we break down domestic violence and examining the just laws an unequal culture if you're in the united states that causes it with author educated be watkins and finally a time warp ladies and gentlemen may have occurred over the sunny skies of southern california so stay tuned to watching the whole.

for joining us it was. according to the centers for disease control and the justice department thirty three percent of women have been victims of some form of physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime that's one out of every three of your female coworkers your female friends your girlfriends your sisters your wives and your mothers one out of every three in fact one of out of every seven women in their lives has been stalked by an intimate partner to the point that they were in fear for their lives or the life of someone close to that one out of every seven women domestic violence in the united states of america and around the world is a very serious issue but tragically more often than not the laws and punishments surrounding the violence is colossally inadequate and nowhere is that more apparent

than when you compare the cases of former n.f.l. player ray cruz and florida woman marissa alexander crew was sentenced to twenty years in prison for successfully conspiring to murder his pregnant girlfriend and attempt to murder his infant son meanwhile morris alexander was sentenced to twenty years for firing a warning shot. into a ceiling and in attempt to protect herself and her infant child from an abusive husband author a speaker do you walk down the two cases highlighting the ugly and equality is found in domestic violence in a recent salon article and he joins us now to discuss welcome. this is these are two it's a fascinating article and fascinating two cases that you kind of lay out here i mean what is it about these two very different but very similar cases of domestic violence or you know domestic violence around them that makes them so you know indictive of our current criminal justice systems treatment of diversity so we know

the courts have their own different state laws and you know we know we can't really compare what happened in those two different courtrooms but at the same time this is two states apart in one instance you have a person to be in sentence who actually conspired to murder a person in an effort to avoid child support and a woman who had a husband who she already she already spoke out about him abusing her he even in court said that he was violent towards her and still with all that being said she still had to serve close to six years on him present in house arrest and i think it's a problem we need to look at what's going on and we need to acknowledge these things because if we don't they're just going to keep happening and happening and happening you know as for this virtual let me ask you looking at the statistics of domestic violence against women and curious to get a man's perspective on this because why do you think that there is not only still

so much violence domestic violence but there seems to be even an uptick in. by men toward women and in this day and age when you can literally facebook alive someone abusing you you can everyone can know where they used to be sort of a idea of shame around being a victim of it why do you think that there are so. why why is it self island why is it happening when you know you can be. first problem is that is so prevalent in our country it has been normal people actually think it's ok they almost expected you just read the stats one in three women number two one of the women you know bravely tell their stories to not being taken seriously they're not being supported the system isn't doing enough to get behind women who are brave enough to tell their stories not saying the ones who don't know are brave but at the same time what's the incentive for them to tell if you are part of a system that's just going to stand on its hands and allow it to happen and you

have to go back home alone and you have to deal with that abusive person who's not being held accountable again the alexanders case her husband said it he went on record he want to record she was trying to protect herself and her newborn from him and she didn't shoot him she fired a shot in the air when you know she thought that her lawyers thought that was you know stand your ground in florida she stood our ground right but you know apparently that law doesn't apply to a woman you know a big misconception as a lot of people think it's that's i was george zimmerman one that's not actually how he won but you know they would china say how you know how to read or it seemed different for him than a different her unlike zimmerman who actually murdered a person who was just trying to walk home from the store and this zero time in jail she actually was protecting her baby and she had to pay for that and that's what blows my mind about that is that he was some of the no one got hurt she fired warning shot into a ceiling over

a home no one got hurt and then this guy more proud of a guns didn't children where they had to tell them not to shoot their guns into a hurricane. and you can't you literally are telling a woman that she can't eventuate out a warning shot worse or second amendment right there's another one why was this one of them n.r.a. where you are a rally in the court room for the alexander and it doesn't exist and what we call them grace is what we call them sex is people look at us like we're crazy but then we have case after case after case where they make it a point to show you who they deal with and what sort of people they are that's a really interesting point because it is it is you know when you see a case like hers that doesn't feel like it doesn't feel like oh this is just kind of a once in a lifetime random thing you know what should we walk away when we see her case and specifically here is a woman who is. trying to defend herself. what should we learn from

a case like this what should we take away from try to be fixing i think what we need to do is we need to understand the urgency of these situations because women die at the hands of abusive when they die so at the end of the day if you know something they have been in you feel like the person is in a position to speak for themselves or they don't want to you you know you speak up you scream you become a we have to we have to stop acting like it's happening to us you know moms and daughters and realizing that there are people just like us who are being hurt we're not doing enough about it but we have to act like we have to understand that you know we have to break this culture because right now the message violence in america is normal and we have we have to end it we have to. let me ask you about this because i think what these two k. what these cases show is as a whole other problem that we have which is mandatory minimum because unfortunately mandatory minimums never take into account the severity of the actual crime this in the context of the actual crime the person who may have either been the victim or

the perpetrator well you know what do you think how does the melissa alexander case show that because it just seems just mostly utter disgrace at the justice system to . her that she is twenty years like obviously it's because of minimum standards or forest why or why are these minimum so that because we sit around. we have so many complaints about the system and when the lection day comes it is time to kill local politics that is the judges in the movie makers in the tournaments these things we just don't do it you know one of the saddest things for me was watching is so many people would rally around dr ford all you had to do was wake up on election day and there would be no cabin on there would be no kavanah of all you had to do was put this same image e into the same system that people ignore year in a year out everyone has something to say about the results everyone has

a say about mandatory minimums but you can't you don't have a right to complain about any of these things if you try to change it that's where you need to get out of vote you know let's see what's happening to georgia right now you can see what's happened in a good gubernatorial race in florida right now like this and one thing people only think about you know voting in an election and the bear and the presidential elections or the midterms and what most people don't realize is the stuff that really is heading your actual pocket the thing that really that is that is taking money out of your pocket is being decided less than ten or twenty miles from politics local politics also local politics is the shady and the most corrupt there the most guys thing but that's where you can get in and do it you can run for local politics change the parking change those things change those mandatory minimum to satirise thing about these two cases two that i just thought of is when you look at recruits he gets out right now and he paid a man who's going to sit in jail till he's eighty five about what he paid

a man to basically assassinate you know this woman carrying his unborn child and was able to just a lot of double should have been it could have been a double murder easy. not only mel has to understand fighting for custody or fighting for parental rights for the child is eighteen. but everyone's talking about second chances for cruz you know what i'm tired of it you know what one in three women don't get a second chance at life because we have to live with the fact that we were assaulted or via violence perpetrated by someone we cared about you know we've had you know one in seven of us don't get a second chance on our life after being starved or being attacked in our own homes by someone who was you know a lover or whatever so i mean for me i don't care you guys can work on that all you want and that's that's your lame is figure out how to get second chances when and when someone who perpetrates the violence amounts awesome on my son and i'm like we

don't we don't get stuck in chances we have that trauma you don't get a second chance for a police treat you you know we don't get a second chance to go back and live our life without you advocate for a second chance when it wasn't your sister or or not you know mother who was a murderer it is an issue where you know it is your your aunts or your you know love on earth somebody you know who has to be afraid of going outside after dark for the rest of their lives or has to lock the door seven times so second chances are good luck with that so let me let me ask you both this with a minute left let me ask you this how do we change go about changing the community and getting this to stop you know how do we move forward to get this kind of abuse and get this kind of thing to kind of finally be put to bed and get behind our society i mean do you guys you guys are really is is not going to change it so everybody understand that it's not a problem if you know someone's getting man or woman. owning abused two or three doors down that's part of your community that's part of your problem and it's just

a simple when we got to understand you know regardless of where we come from we're goddess of ethnic backgrounds variance or whatever you want big family and if somebody is beating on your family in a beat and you wanted to we had that mentality and can. other than trying to be so this if it's nothing's going to change that's a really good point that's going other way and if we do that you know some people we could we get oh we avert our eyes when some time when somebody is being racist in a store or during i don't know i say i just get that loud mouth and i know that's gross you're disgusting shame on you we deserve better yeah better do walkers author educator baltimore's own thank you so much because. it was world war two all over again for commuters in southern california on tuesday this week when a plane straight out of the german la louve to waffle crashed onto the iconic one freeway thankfully no one was harmed in the crash including the pilot but it did put a dent in the already hellish l.a.

commute and definitely raise a few eyebrows sadly for all you sipho fans out there know there isn't a giant southern california bermuda triangle sucking in the third reich's air force one thousand nine hundred forty two and dumping them into the skies above the city of angels it doesn't seem to be that any time traveler alians was involved sadly but the single engine plane is actually just a north american eighty six painted to look like part of an unseen war plane and is part of what is called the contour squadron a group of vintage plans to perform mock dogfights for air shows information flying for parades and sort of a cause. you know more than enough so you sort of wonder at that would throw me if i was driving down the highway of lagos and i look i go you don't want to see a quick plane crash at all but if you drive by and suddenly you see like you know the are and what you know the iron cross and all that you are going to move as well you know. i don't mean that way before but now it's really all right well that is our show for today remember every one of those world hold your loved sword tell you
