house on tuesday are when the best the brightest of the united states political elite met for an intelligent negotiation of policy regarding the united states border security this is a most unfortunate thing we came into here in good faith and and we entering into iraq and this kind of discussion in the public view it was struck read that has now and i'm going to transparency and have it so i will take the mantle i will be the one to shut it down i'm not going to blame you for the last time you shut it down it didn't work i will take the mantle of shutting out that so let us have a conversation where we don't have to contradict in conflict. that was a brilliant brilliant leaders got new job. and now is house minority leader nancy pelosi senate minority leader chuck schumer and of course our brand name in chief donald trump giving a fantastic appetizer of your family's upcoming holiday party when your older relatives hit the wine cabinet a tad early yes and while they bicker and showboat over the border it's been

discovered that the good folks of energy transfer partners are friends behind the eco to access pipeline fiasco have amassed quite the deplorable record when it comes to their two latest pipelines in pennsylvania and ohio according to a reuters investigation energy transfer partners in the pseudocode pipeline subsidiary have racked up more than wait for it eight hundred state and federal permit violations while racing to build two of the nation's largest natural gas pipelines eight hundred permit violations and i'm sorry but good. racing to build it is not the adjectives i want to hear when referencing the building of pipelines that carry a highly toxic environmentally destructive substance. cravin if it's natural gas back here on capitol hill while chuckles nancy in the donald are still grandstanding for the cameras house republicans are making moves to shut down any

vote or debate on the u.s. support of saudi arabia and yemen until after the new congress takes over in january by sneaking a blocking provision in a recent debate rules boat on a farm bill. from political cowardice to leaky pipes of black death i think i do think it's time to start watching the hawks. but if you treat it like. this with. the bottom. like you that i got. with it we. would. welcome everyone watching arks i am i robot and i'm. just to clarify i

don't think nancy pelosi was grandstanding i think she was standing grimly you know but it did i mean look you know after watching that and i got to look you know me i've complained enough about nancy pelosi when she does but i say that was under the circumstances i would have ben i would have lost my mind there would have been like coffee in the face but i don't like i don't love my mother it wasn't but they all just talk over each other into this whole thing and it's so interesting now to see how that when you play it out and publicly this is what it's like all the time in washington all that's our best and brightest my favorite part of that quick look before we move on to the pipeline is the favorite part about all that like i mean you got to see because it was it was like your relatives a dinner light. bickering over something that happened and somebody to write my favorite thing was like my parents like i swear like i don't know if my friends was even alive like you called it weakened the burden is my parents really scaring me.

you know like i was putting a mirror under is no this is a mixture of proud but boy our bodies are energy transfer so energy transfer partners you know our favorite nothing we see their commercials on t.v. telling you how great of a product they broke. so it was energy transfers rover and sunoco mariner east to pipelines and you'll see the sunoco is the gas station so you see it let's there's two big names you know they've been under construction across ohio and pennsylvania and respectively since about twenty seven thousand and i've been hit with violations over let's see spilling drilling fluid which is horrible creating sinkholes and backyards and improperly disposing of trash metal from the writers of us to gays and the violations of allegedly include six hundred eighty one federal violations accumulated just the rover pipeline wow but just

a number of the drilling fuel for natural gas that some of the stuff that we talk about that if that ends up in the water. there's your water table and suddenly you don't have it just so people get loaded understanding and. then these really billion dollar developments of showing a power that's similar to the rover through ohio when most are going to comedian energy company called recently finished a two point six billion dollar twenty five two hundred fifty five mile pipeline they only had seven and seven they were very very. good drugs for the six hundred eighty one c s transfer partners uses you know. horrible. and they can't even put up my blood together prove what a playboy to go to but then you go i mean but then the other thing that congress didn't win is really yeah so they moved to present the house you're saying so the

house republicans moved to prevent members from forcing a vote for the rest of twenty eighteen on any resolution that attempts to use your same war powers act to cut off u.s. aid to saudi arabia in yemen so this comes as the worse the senate is also about to lucian that uses the world powers act to force the withdrawal of any troops in or affecting yemen within thirty days unless they're fighting al qaeda the whole thing is just nonsense and if you remember we also praying certain actions of al qaeda to help the hutus and you know i mean it just doesn't make sense marriage movies well those ridiculous stories. in all of western australia there which has a population just under two point five million people there's only about one public per women's prison bandi up that handles all security classified as classifications with a capacity of three hundred ninety four inmates and how is it houses women on remand

waiting for court appearances and long term stay in mates as well and it is bad idea who is at the core of a damning report from the western australia prison watchdog regarding an incident that happened in march of this year and which a birth at a women's prison was deemed quote distressing degrading and high risk an unnamed indigenous woman who was thirty six weeks pregnant was locked in her cell alone on a ninety one degree fahrenheit day it's about thirty three degrees celsius the enemy told the guard she was going into labor and in severe distress she was like that for nearly two hours but the information wasn't passed on to nurses so when she did start to give birth nurses and even custodians were at the door trying to coach her through the procedure. why weren't they in the room you ask well because apparently the only person at that time who has keys to the cells was in the gatehouse and he didn't show up until ten minutes after the young woman gave birth on the floor of an unsanitary foul prison cell with no help no pain relief and

hours of emotional trauma no more give the inspector custodial services a family upset in the report that it was the result of systematic procedural and human failings in the report it noted that inadequate infrastructure for women in late stages of pregnancy and action or slow action by some staff poor communication and poor processes caused the incident this report comes just a month after the office of the inspector of custodial services which made the report had its budgets cut and its reports delayed from the public you know morgan told the west australian i'll not issue in future we may be able to inspect prisons with the same rigor and dept we may not have the capacity to bring forward inspections and reviews to meet parliament and government expectation and if you think this is just an australian problem this year just this week the us congress introduced the first step act which would make it illegal for presidents to shackle pregnant women yeah we had to make a law so how is the problem with the prisons or is this just more proof that women's pain is simply more likely to be ignored no matter where you are you know i

gotta say i there's all those moments to think of so it's both you know there's major problems with our prisons there's major problems with how we treat women and women and women in their even society at large how we view it we respond to it so i think honestly this is we could debate the percentages of which is more but rather gives both their goods truly both right now will we have a fundamental problem with understanding women's pain understanding how much we pay in movement with women can take on a lot of that is because of sexist medical knowledge i mean we've heard about it in terms of african-americans often doctors we're still talk really terrible. lie isn't myths about. out their skin doesn't her it doesn't hurt them as much when they get big when they get injections or something well it's the same thing with women and with childbirth it's so enough areas because we kind of have this idea that oh everything about childbirth so easy now we're in the modern world but three hundred at least three hundred thousand women die every year according to the u.n.

in childbirth so most of those deaths are very easily prevented and when you're putting someone in a position like being out of out of prison like this you know prison food is not enough for a baby about is how you get dehydrated your major major risk higher risk because of that high processed food salt diet and things like preeclampsia and diabetes than just a small diabetes there's just a lot of risk out it might just think it's really weird so the west are stroke corrective services commissioner tell me how flush i apologise the inmates saying the events that happened to amy which was her a fake name that the paper gave her something there her real name there on the night were unacceptable and should have happened clearly every baby whether whatever the circumstances the mother deserves to be brought into this world in a decent environment and clearly that's not a prison cell so this is a tragedy really i mean anybody anybody looking back at the babies in this and i don't care what you think about the mom you know or anything like that and i don't know the case of why we don't know who the woman was the why she was even there to begin with

a little bit we know that she was out on probation after having started for a minor minor offense and that she was out on probation but couldn't meet certain standards of the day which probably means she was pregnant thirty six days pregnant couldn't get a job couldn't get. place to live and so she was put back into prison for that reason i read and moved around. for the bags of one prison for women and like the entire was western australia is a little bit ridiculous to me but i want to read to you the governors from the government's response so was corrective services minister for instance logan told reporters that quote the minister is spoken with the department of the inspector of custodial services were guarding the review into this matter and the subsequent chain. is made at banda up including new leadership and training you've got a problem that i don't know but it's just about leadership and training when you have women giving birth to people on dirty prison cell floors and one set of constraints well over an hour i mean that's

a thing that women you know if you go into it if we both want me are it would take it's an average it would take me sixty five minutes see a doctor forty nine minutes for you and on the other side of that also if we both had something like a coronary bypass you're twice as likely i'm half as likely to get any kind of pain relievers prescribed to me for the same thing you know that is to women are so much stronger than them and they say and we understand it. and i say travesty that was about the result as we go to break our watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our poll shows at our t.v. dot com coming up journals with other big bryant joins us to discuss the latest twists in the case of billionaire jeffrey epstein and how the u.s. legal system failed to find justice for the victims of his alleged crime want to miss this that they took the box in the. bank.

that you. want to see stockwell pick up truck get up and since he is now just across them were pointed a gun for walter jones came into contact with. your personal between you think that's thanks. to bush i. just i'm told but what do i get up when you don't know what to do. you know you know so i think you need to do you know. the more we dispose of snow. their good fortune just a creation for some purpose just to play that. book i don't use but teach me a customer because. when

the whole make this manufacture consent to step into a public wells. when they're running plus isn't protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. of the time doing the whole middle of the room signals. going around the more you leave the room. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be all for rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred

trade first circuit first shot and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one does not show you can afford to miss the one and only boom but. if you asked adults while walks of life around the world most if not all would agree that. there is no crime more despicable and in need of swift strong justice than the sexual physical or psychological attacks on a child or teenager perpetrated by an adult in the case of jet setting billionaire geoffrey abstainers friends included everyone from prince andrew to bill clinton to

donald trump there were allegations of all three of these vicious types of crimes perpetrated between two thousand and one and two thousand and seven and not just one or a few but dozens if not hundreds of young teenage girls but strangely in a society that supposedly prides itself on law and order and common decency despite the horrifically similar allegations by multiple different victims and witnesses spread across the united states and the world jeffrey epstein woolworth unlikely never have to legitimately face the inside of a courtroom or jail cell for the heinous crimes he's accused of recently a miami herald investigation uncovered the sweet deal jeffrey abstains high powered attorneys made for their client his confederates to avoid prosecution back in two thousand and eight you know who helped him then u.s. attorney for miami alexander acosta now president of trump's secretary of labor here to discuss the case and the tragic history of similar cases and their lack of justice is investigative journalist and author nick brian thank you so much for

joining us. i'm glad we reviewed tabs and tyrone i want to start you've investigated these cases as a journalist for a long time now and i think just so people can kind of group members stand as you could you kind of briefly just walk us through the you know what geisha is and kind of the scope and size of the jeffrey up steven situation. jeffrey i've seen cases quite large a fourteen year old girl came forward told her parents and then the palm beach police department started to investigate her allegations and they found four other underage victims of jeffrey abstain and ultimately they because geoffrey assume such a powerful man and wealthy and had so many connections the palm beach fleece department went about its investigation very gingerly but they were very very circumspect and they alternately broad charges against him and searched his home and then ultimately the feds got involved and the feds were of approximately thirty five

jeffrey abstaining victims and then the grand jury got involved the street state or injury and lo and behold epstein wasn't i did for a single count of child abuse and so the feds stepped in and said that they were going to seek justice but ultimately what happened was there really wasn't any justice geoffrey i've seen spent thirteen months in a county jail he was allowed to go during the day and he had his own private suite or wing and all these girls. were never really given justice i mean some of them ultimately did sue jeffery abstain or more given settlements but ultimately there are scores of girls that were abused by jeffrey abstain and his power broker pedophile friends and none of them will ever see justice. nick as an investigative journalist yet looking at that child trafficking rings and their perpetrators most

exceptionally with your work on the franklin scandal is the jeffrey abstain case the exception or the norm when it comes to these types of child sexual crimes that involve you know the wealthy the powerful or the politically connected. well in the jeffrey of sting case you have what's made a lot of fanfare recently is alexander a cost who was the principle u.s. attorney who covered up the jet stream crimes is now a separate u.s. secretary of labor so and this is consistent with the investigations that i have undertaken and the franklin scandal for example. there were sixty victims that had been identified by this state senate investigator and there was a tremendous amount of evidence the state senate investigator ended up dying under very mysterious circumstances and then again a grand jury indicted the victims who were molested by the perpetrators instead of

the perpetrators and in that case which is really interesting the principal prosecutor of there was a woman a young girl's name alecia one who refused to recant her abuse and she was indicted on nine counts of perjury by the state and nine counts of perjury by the feds so she was looking at over two hundred years in prison because she refused to recant accounts of her sexual abuse and in that case the douglas county prosecutor almost in douglas county. the douglas county prosecutor was immediately made a judge the head of this county prosecutor that helped prosecutor leon was made the u.s. attorney in the u.s. it's the assistant u.s. attorney that helped prosecute at least shown on the federal side of it he's now a u.s. magistrate and then the u.s. magistrate that helped cover up he's now a u.s. district court judge overseeing with alexander acosta and what we've seen in the

franklin scandal are very similar you help cover this up and you will experience judicial upward mobility while and that will not make sense because when you look at you know that the similarities with the franklin scandal and with the case what you have are young. girls and boys are young men and women who are have a lot less money you come from the wrong side of the tracks you don't come from you know the right kind of they come from places like i come from you know like normal people and i wonder i have to ask you is it is it really abstains money or of the people involved the franklin scandal is that money and power that allows people like him to get away with it or is that the reality that there is such a disparity between them and their victims lack of you know their lack of money lack of power is that what's alternately it's the victims have not having any power and money or social standing that's why there's no justice. united states.

has always said that children are a small freshest research i mean that's one of the things that our politicians will say but if you look at the u.s. and its treatment of children children are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population a tremendous number of children live below the poverty threshold. so in actuality the united states puts doesn't really put its money were small it is regarding children and were ever there is a wholesale destruction of children which we see in the united states today with the children the homeless the homelessness of the children and also the tremendous number of children with problem threshold wherever there is wholesale destruction there's bound to be a retail destruction and what we see with jeffrey obscene and also with the franklin scandal and other cases like this it's a retail distraction scores of children. while you know when you look at. you know

when you look at the. franklin case you know there are pointing out there's a lot of common threads in how society deals with them and one thing i want to ask you is. you know what have you noticed and how mainstream handles cases like these what do you say they do the best and what do you say they do the worst as a journalist and observing the same someone who's who spent a lot of time studying most. well the coverage of jeffrey i was doing was really a joke. now it's kind of funny the washington post is calling for the head of alexander a constant just last week in the new york times wrote an article recently about how why is geoffrey have still not been in jail but what's funny about it is i came across a blackboard. four years ago and i put it on the internet and the washington post had a copy of jeffrey of war and endeavor it seems like who were scores of victims

so for the washington post to act outraged at this point is actually very very funny it is truly is because it's like you guys you read between two you know but when twenty thousand and eight when when the first allegations kind of start creeping their way into the media you had plenty of time to cover this and be outraged it was funny this kind of selective outrage was politically opportunistic now we can be outraged over a person who's attacking kids. there's always going to be this idea i mean in the upstate case it was clear that they didn't want any connection right before an election to bill clinton who is his friend ben on the on the planes or anybody who was politically connected let me ask you. you followed investigated cases like this three areas and you know as journalists you know t.v. hosts i think we we've delved into these stories so much and i think the question we want to ask and for our viewers is what do we do to better help these victims you know who is who do we need to write letters to where do we need to either protest or where should we be giving money how do we help the best. it's very

difficult because organizations that help children are very decentralized and it's and they're all working in different areas. so at this point i think what we really need is some kind of cohesiveness amongst the organizations that are that are helping children because they're fighting for grants and they're fighting for money and if there was better coordination by our government to protect our children that would be the best possible outcome that you're you hit the nail on the head right there because the a lot of these predators use that the central decentralisation to to go after these children nick i want to thank you for your work and all the work you've done on cases like the euro to my friend thank you so much for coming on today. thank you tyrrel and thank you tabitha thank you. charles i'm sure it's the creator of the
