charity put your money in the fund then the fund grants money to your charity of choice which sounds ok on its face until you realize that donors claim their tax deduction up front when they donate to the dav before deciding which public charities the money should go to jesus christ that's like getting the first place trophy while you're still on the bus on the way to the soccer game but what's just as concerning as this upfront reward is that the largest growth and donor advised funds has been among four proppant wall street firms such as charles schwab and fidelity investments and a donor advised fund can just reinvest the fund forever without ever giving any money to charity. so by creating their own donor advised funds wall street investment firms like the delany and charles schwab are enabling ultra wealthy clients to collect a charitable tax break without necessarily supporting

a charity this charities are as likely to see that money as you are to see a cracker barrel run out of gravy or an actual star on dancing with the stars but seriously though who does that before wall street firms took over the biggest recipient of charitable giving in the us two years ago was the united way which if you recall couldn't even get the flesh and blood in richest tom brady to appear for its assets. but one of the more notable examples of the disparity between what's given and received is in silicon valley where a donor advised one called the silicon valley community foundation has received multimillion dollar donations from the likes of netflix founder reed hastings and twitter co-founder jack dorsey and if anyone deserves a tax break the least if they do that took bob's burgers off of netflix and the

other dude who claimed that at jack handle so early that my best friend jack has add seven digits and an underscore after is name just to get in the cow only to have everyone think he's a russian but in fact none of these guys billionaires need tax breaks when the amount of money going from the silicon valley community foundation to charities in the nine counties bay area actually dropped in twenty seventeen by forty six percent even as the amount of money under management grew by sixty four percent to thirteen and a half billion dollars this reverse robin hood of silicon valley was so notorious that a man named alan cantor who has three decades of experience in nonprofit consulting told the atlantic local nonprofits call the silicon valley community foundation the death star and the black hole because it was so hard to get money out of it and the

only upside of a stormtrooper telling you you're getting zero funding is that at least their helmets muffle the sounds of rejection. unfortunately the groups that are supposed to have the best interests of nonprofit charities have drank wall street's corporate kool-aid because the national council of nonprofits which describes itself as a trusted resource improvement advocate for america's charitable non-profits lists the delany charitable trust these initiative as one of its mission partners a coalition of philanthropic trade associations even sent a letter to the senate committee on finance the pending donor advised funds last year nonprofit charities don't have a dog in this fight and even if they did it would just be this dog trying to make do with situation just fine because no matter how low the funds get

we now charities will still continue to help those in need just like the silicon valley united way did and to look folded in two thousand and sixteen while the silicon valley community foundation received one billion dollars in annual giving with the money never going where it's truly meant to if only exacerbates income inequality in the places these charities exist especially california's bay area where affordable housing is disappearing in the quicksand of greed. we know the concept of rich people dodging taxes to accumulate more wealth is nothing new but if they're going to insist on dodging charitable giving then they should at least do what the traditional way and dodge the quip for people on the street like the rest of us. me.

that. this is my hardest problem that only gets your own dance. i think the last. thing you just like minutes for the children. reporting from outside of fidelity investments natalie mcgill redacted tonight it's

all right so we just learned that rich people can legally scam charities were tax breaks good to know what's next are they going to start stealing make a wish foundation kids wishes and then privatized those wishes to ensure maximum profit for the wishes shareholders probably or at the very least they'll figure out a way to profit off of anti immigration hears they only care of ani with the raging controversy. the tripping ministration has a troubling relationship that up till now was poorly understood the relationship in question is not between jared and he's on good nor president trump and milan yet nor interior minister running thinking and his tweezers it's the ties between silicon valley and from anti immigrant agenda tech companies like amazon palance

here and microsoft among many others i'm making millions on surveillance detention and the deportation of individuals according to a new report term zero tolerance policy has gotten so extruding that even those in his party commented on his plan to remove birthright citizenship saying you obviously cannot do that who knew that paul ryan would have a strange new ally reality but i bet bezos plan was to take it even further and he was hoping to make a subscription to amazon prime a requirement to be an american citizen if you don't see the benefit the two day shipping then you will be subject to today deportation amazon is at the top of this cloud industrial complex the public private partnership among industry lobbyists key federal legislators and tech executives trond government officials

amazon scored a six point eight billion dollar contract with the department of homeland security out of the forty four billion dollar budget which is dedicated to data management this has done a ton of damage to the brick and mortar corruption industry what's going to happen to all these mom and pop supporters of fascism now border patrol and i have to justify their existence with irrational fears of outsiders. my great mostly women and children. oh this isn't scaring you. caravette of middle eastern or. below. middle eastern members feed on the roster of children they have to be and leprosy to and thorough as a zombie is leading them the migrants according to fox is reporting are more than two months away if any of them actually come here but tomorrow is one week

before the midterm election. midterms the department of homeland security has a poor record of keeping us safe from terrorism which is what it was created for instead they're guilty of ripping children from parents physical abuse sexual abuse racial profiling and murder but i wouldn't argue that they're nazis because the ice director has already done that for you and i think it's an insult to the brave men and women of the border patrol and ice to call law enforcement officers are not used to simply enforcing the laws enacted by congress. just following orders mean better defense instead of the defense that the nazis used at nuremberg would have been like. hey that our haircuts are different compared to the nazis we have nothing against polish people and we never learned how to use i can be amazing movement against these cloud cuts is being carried out by activists and by

employees of these companies so what does marc benioff have to say in reply to this uprising at his company i'm sorry i'm actually scuba diving right now yes he said that. actually scuba diving does create an emergency when anybody mentions it you have to immediately act interested. you know me oh my god if you've been scuba diving you've got to go it's the best thing in the world you've got to check it out if you've been to swim you should you've got to get in the ocean so you see so many beautiful beautiful company meters to go down oh god it's probably a hundred but it felt like millions you have no idea it's like so different out of here they're like another world yeah exactly like the little mermaid land there was like fish and like a turtle he didn't really want to do anything with us but he was sleep so cool i think i saw shark can't tell who's very far away but and nowhere is this movement

more alive than appellant here for a company with a fifty one million dollar contract with ice also known for its controversial predictive policing software with of or racial bias and also known for its trumped offending founder peter thiel helen t. here is also secretly destroying sanctuary cities by circumventing city and state level protections for vulnerable communities allowing immigration agents to scour regional local state and federal databases across the country building profiles of immigrants and their friends and family as trump sends fifteen thousand troops to confront the pack of wild desperate isis lepers approaching the border and how those children in tent camps it's imperative that we dismantle the lucrative connection between tank and a white supremacist nationalist agenda. and grandma rushing to. the enemy

cafe that. we have to go to a quick break but don't forget you can check out all of our videos at youtube dot com slash redacted tonight. sure yours are scribe and follow us on twitter at redacted tonight we'll be right back. max geysers financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause a report. in twenty four to you know bloody revolution to tikrit the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know lloyd

i mean you know i was put video through the. school and you go to the ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four. of those who took part in this today over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president one should. want to. have to try to cross the sea level before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. west. the talk of impending war around the world is on the increase the great powers

speak openly on the need to prepare for a conflict what does this tell us if anything it appears to be a sign the global order they came into being optimist second world war and the cold war has come to an end. it's replacing. welcome back so we all know that the prison industrial complex mass incarceration is one of the biggest moral failings of our society it's right up there with people who cut their fingernails in public truly awful but the only thing worse is locking away innocent people based on faulty evidence in this report i break it down.

here's something quite disturbing forensic science techniques used by the criminal justice system to put people in prison ain't all that scientific you know all studies from the national academy of sciences and the president's council of advisors on science and technology have concluded that there is insufficient research to support the claims of the broad field of pattern matching forensics which includes analyses of such things as hair fiber bite marks tool marks and tire tree yeah it turns out these forensic techniques and others that continue to be used to contribute to mass incarceration have never been subjected to rigorous science you know little things like peer review and double blind testing and no double blind testing is not when you drink so much moonshine that you lose

vision in both your eyes and then test how accurately you can pee into a bucket from eight feet away. did you really think that's where double blind testing meant you weirdo calculating how many people might be incarcerated based on erroneous matches is notoriously difficult but according to the innocence project faulty friends ixion was a factor in about half of all wrongful convictions in which the defendants would later exonerated by d.n.a. testing have that's crazy if half the time when i wore my homemade buffalo wings scented cologne it made my date gag a dinner stop wearing a wig i should definitely stop wearing it more broadly false or misleading forensic science is responsible for twenty four percent of the two thousand two hundred fifty eight exonerations that have occurred in this

country since one thousand nine hundred nine according to the national registry of exoneration. that's of a lot of up stupid it lightly and realize it's just a drop in the bucket compared to how many people are still wrongly imprisoned because those two thousand two hundred fifty eight exonerations were people lucky enough to get a new trial which is not easy because we're science questions the wisdom of the past the legal system tends to rely on it so once expert testimony is allowed and a verdict is rendered the courts put a premium on finality on precedent and consistency at that point even good science often can't fix the error which makes it so frustrating that bad science keeps making its way into evidence in court because of precedent look when i was in third grade i was on a coed ensure we were all soccer team and i created the precedent of kicking girls in the shins and scoring lots of goals but if you apply that to when i was on my

high school team we all would have been very disappointed just look at me i suck. just like bite mark hair and blood splatter analysis sucks run vitiate are a growing number of studies have found no scientific evidence to support bite mark analysis is too coarse sumption that teeth are as unique as fingerprints and that human skin can record this uniqueness with enough detail to identify someone that's why it's led to dozens of wrongful convictions that we know of what about hair analysis even after a whistleblower forced to review of twenty nine hundred cases the justice department kept the review secret in twenty fifteen it finally conceded that is examiners gave flawed testimony in ninety six percent of hair analysis cases

including thirty three of thirty five death penalty cases reviews nine of those defendants had already been executed to rafiq what do you got for me blood splatter analysis. in may of this year pro publica and the new york times magazine extensively reviewed joe bryan's one thousand nine hundred six murder conviction the jury and found that brian murdered his wife in large part due to testimony by a police investigator with a forty hour training certificate in blood stain pattern analysis a forty hour training certificate to decide somebody's mate are you serious it took me longer to learn basic h.t.m.l. and my website hamsters sitting on ham dot com is still all fault. joe bryant was sentenced to ninety nine years despite having an alibi character witnesses and other physical evidence suggesting innocence plus several experts with far more experience than forty hours of training every beauty of the

bloodstain pattern testimony how is all this bad science getting through take it away chris fabric of the innocence project what you have right today in the status quo is that you have scientifically illiterate judges that are being presented as evidence by scientifically illiterate prosecutors that are being resisted by scientifically illiterate defense attorneys and then the validity and reliability of these techniques are weighed by twelve scientifically illiterate jurors and what we get is a lot of reliable science really never been subjected to any real scrutiny inside or outside the courtroom all right chris as a horrifying as that sounds not everybody is scientifically illiterate i know for example that mitochondria and rive isms are things that exist. i don't know about science maybe i shouldn't take in my analysis of various

forensic science techniques so seriously when i was trying to find out who violated me in the office. it was just a typical day of me working super hard at my job. as always i was excited for my afternoon treat i must looked away for a matter of seconds and when i looked back my apple had been defiled who dared to defile my apple. it was high time that i put my forty hour training certificate to you. good thing plenty of forensic evidence was left behind objective number one determine bite mark analysis i knew that natalie couldn't resist me tards ropes getting her to leave a bite mark would be like taking candy from a baby well actually it would be like giving candy to an adult but you know what i mean they both sure do have like teeth marks to me. objective number two

hair comparison this one was going to be tricky because it was highly inappropriate for the workplace plus the racial component confirmed it is still never cool to touch black people's hair without permission. good thing the blood spatter never lied. i know. why did you my apple i have forensic evidence i declared i didn't eat your apple and i would never eat your apple because i don't need your apple book i have my own apples natalie replied. i said gren six is garbage. and i never did find out who defiled my ass. reporting from washington john of

redact it's all right i'm thrilled now to be joined by my fellow dogs and i correspondents natalie mcgill and i only care of you covered super shady donor advised funds that allow the rich to exploit charities is there any redacted info that we didn't get a chance to cover that you didn't get a chance to govern yourself yeah so obviously it's absurd that anyone in silicon valley would be suffering at all with the sheer amount of wealth that is in that part of california but just to touch on how extra greedy these people are there's a report in the atlantic about. apps. that notes that business owners often give to daffs right before they're taking their company public to avoid paying capital gains taxes and to get the tax break and surprise mark zuckerberg and his wife are so let's hand it exactly that they donated five hundred million dollars in stock to the silicon valley community foundation when facebook went public and then they

donated one billion dollars in stock the year after that and even the guys who founded go pro the go on better vacations than you camera. did you know like you want any because i don't tell you larry it's gone to the drones you know he donated five hundred million dollars of his stock before go pro went public and so even though super wealthy people who actually did care about giving to charity the foundation didn't invest in the staffing or the technology in silicon valley of all places to make sure that this money was going to where it was supposed to be you don't even write well that's good to know thank you for that redacted information and so you revealed how corporations are shamefully profiting off and i agree ssion agenda so any other info that we should know that is true so as i said in my segment amazon palen tier microsoft among other companies are profiting off of. zero tolerance policy at. border and it actually connects to your story

a little bit because baze o's last year famously donated thirty three million dollars to the dreamers good sounding name or goal or ship so that they could go to college and but he makes six point eight billion dollars through his work with the d.h.s.s. working on data maint management to help the deported people that sounds like a lot more then yeah i haven't crunched the numbers yet but it does seem like a lot more. it's just a hobby of the rich give to the poor take from you then it will go. green should be good up to you know that's crazy i didn't mention that country like our first computers are that worked at the d h s and he wrote this law called cloud first so it's familiar. first where the d h s and the federal government would

basically invest in private companies for data management for th us and through other organizations and the government well after vivek kundra wrote that law he went and worked appellants here and basically profited off of those checks that he wrote so he wrote that is what yeah i'll get you know i'll get you a lot of money for this one thing that i wanted to add from for my piece i think it's a put in there is regarding bad forensic science there's something i did say in two thousand and thirteen the federal government did set up the national commission on forensic science meant to review techniques and improve standards which is very important but when you get a tourney general jeff sessions discontinued it as one of his first acts in off this because he's the worst guy of your we're taking a step in the wrong direction on fortune that's our showing but don't forget to text the word redacted. nine for exclusive content it's free in the u.s.
