the spectacle at the white 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 in here in good faith and and and and we are entering into a lot of this kind of in a discussion in the public view it was struck lead that has now i guess going 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 down that so let us have a conversation where we don't have to contradict in conflict. brilliant brilliant leaders of. the one that was 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 elderly

relatives if the wind cabinet attack. us and while they bicker and showboat over the border it's been discovered that the good folks at energy transfer partners are friends behind the dakota access pipeline fiasco have amassed quite the deplorable record when it comes to the two latest pipelines in pennsylvania and ohio according to a reuters investigation energy transfer partners and it's soon the coal 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 permanent by late june. and i'm sorry but. 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. even if it's natural gas that back here on capitol hill well chuckles nancy in the donald are still grandstanding

for the cameras house republicans are making moves to shut down any voter 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 both on a farm bill. you know from what a coward has to leaky pipes of black death i think i do think it's time to start watching the hall. was pretty. good like real that this would be. as good a part of. what they like you know i got. with that we. welcome all of the watching dogs i am i robot and on top of the well is. 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 a look i you know me i've complained enough about nancy pelosi watching us 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 i don't like i don't remember who it was but they all just talk over each other into this whole thing and it's so interesting now to see how the when you play it out 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 out of 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 like bickering over something going to happen 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 what you call the week in the burgers my parents really scaring me to. you know me like i would feel like putting a mirror under his nose so the mixer and brad but boy are buddies of energy transfer so energy transfer partners you know our favorite. nothing we see in their commercials on t.v. telling you how great of a product but yeah so it was energy transfers rover and sunoco is mariner east to pipelines and you'll see the sunoco is the gas stations you see a lot so 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 create sinkholes and backyards and improperly disposing of trash and i welcome the writers of us together and the violations of allegedly include six hundred eighty one federal violations accumulated just the rover. 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 legged 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 pipeline to go to but then you go i mean but then the other thing that congress didn't win is really bad yet 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 war 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 in yemen i mean it just doesn't make sense. 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 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 morgan 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 all not issue in future we may be unable to inspect prisons with the same rigor and depth 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 u.s. congress introduced the first step act which would make it eagle 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 the name of 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 kids truly both right now well 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. 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 un in child birth 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 it major major risk higher risk because of that high processed food salt diet of 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 i stroke corrective services commissioner tell me how flush i apologise the inmate saying the events that happened to amy which was her fake name that the paper gave her something that her real name is on 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 presence at all 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 do we have 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 to couldn't meet certain standards of the day which probably means she was pregnant thirty six weeks 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 good of one prison for women like the entire was a 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 of spoken with the department and the inspector of custodial services were guarding the review into this matter and the subsequent jury. is made at banda up including new leadership and training you've got a problem that i don't know if 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 e.r. 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 that. that's a travesty that has some result as we go to break our watches don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on the facebook and twitter see our poll shows that are tea dot com coming up journals that offer big brian 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 in a day to. the

if you asked adele. from all 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 taboos 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 status who could you kind of briefly just walk us through the you know what kind of the scope and size of the geoffrey up student situation. the jeffrey have 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 fleas 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 stake were 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 jeffrey i've seen spent thirteen months in a county jail he was allowed to go out 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 while. nick is 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 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 named 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 bogus county prosecutor that helped prosecute alecia on was made the u.s. attorney in the u.s. it's the assistant u.s. attorney that helped prosecute alecia on 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 helped 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 doesn't really put its money we're a small it is regarding children and we're 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 limbo driving 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 the retail destruction 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 of what you say they do the worst as a journalist and observing the same someone who's who spent a lot of time studying this. while the coverage of jeffrey abstain 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 and then the new york times wrote an article recently about how why is jeffrey i'm still not and in jail but what's funny about it is i came across a black book 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 the first allegations kind of start creeping their way into the media you had plenty of time to cover this and be outraged that it's 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

obscene case it was clear that they didn't want any connection right before an election to bill clinton who was his friend about 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. host i think we we've delved into these stories so much and i think the question we want to ask and for our viewers as 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 a better reported nation by our government to protect their children that would be the best possible outcome that the mail woman wrote there because the a lot of these predators use the centrals i do centralisation to to go after these children that 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 to have them thank you. charles i'm sure it's the creator of the peanuts cartoon series once said all you need is love a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt that is unless you live in the town of in western germany who were there were forced to contend with a. shock when a faulty tank at the dry maestra chocolate factory overflowed sending warm liquid chocolate goodness into the streets the one ton pool of liquid chocolate caused

chocolate leaks and we get natural with regard to you know water faucet the water light some fire from the cold we're going to crack i mean we know that that's not of value all right everybody that is are so poor that they remember everyone in this world we are not told but we love the sort of tell you all i love i robot interrupted and keep on watching all those hawks out there in the great day and i. thank you. thank. you you thank . prosecution will need to be criminals in this show before the pump is all.
