the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round be the one percent. time to ignore middle of the room sick. leave room. countries gone into a nihilistic fever that's what i think and they've got to hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america the charlatan it's the genius of this place especially american hero this is a point from which alan would have done so we always are on the current system this . culture saying. oh. we're starting last with this is the beginning heading east into the swamp we're

going into the belly of the beast and i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more gone down and this may be completely different but in the. ratings and salutations today hawk watchers we're going to start with one of the exciting new old phrases added to the language lexicon courtesy of the trump era of us politics you know if you love a fake news i guess a glorious fake news the war cry of both democrats and republicans alike when confronted with journalism or news outlets they just aren't happy with even the united states congress has hammered away at the scourge of fake news and hearings with social media companies and technocrats all. some and all every news outlet in

the trump era has at one time or another been called fake news one of the big questions surrounding the supposed the disease of fake news is just who really is who is truly falling for it well according to a recently published study in science advances fakes news is truly a baby boomer problem yes using a sampling of facebook users sharing history use a user sharing history before and after the twenty sixteen presidential election the study found that the oldest americans especially those over sixty five were more likely to share fake news to their facebook friends and as the virgin notes the report also revealed eleven percent of users older than sixty five shared a hoax while just three percent of users eighteen to twenty nine did wow but they're not my fake news sharing baby boomer friends. and up because thankfully there is a cure for ending the reign of fake news and its name is a news guard yes the brainchild of media executive steven brill and lewis gordon

crow fits the browser extension provides users a color coded guide green good red bad as well as a nutrition label to news sites and organizations and if they're fake or bad or whatever because hey you know who better to decide what is or is not bakes news than a former time magazine reporter and a member of the council on foreign relations. and just in case you're wondering yes r t got a red check mark for being russian government funded propaganda but voice of america got a green checkmark for being us government funded propaganda by news guard. so today let's delve into the latest stat stats and schemes in the world of big news as we start watching the hawks. were able to. get a. real that would be. as good

a lot of. what they like you like i got. was that we. would. be. welcome or want to watch in the harks i am told them to have four legs so taub fake numers and what guards against it. remember just a few short years ago when faking is is what we used to call boxers oh they were a lot of it was. that they were the ones who you know you'd see charts and everybody would talk about how many times they lied how many mysteries that they were the least reliable you know to sell all of these new integrity initiatives and guards to keep us protected from yes and they all keep saying well yeah that's

great jack your ex is ok and even corporate funded is ok as long because that literally comes from the u.s. government it's u.s. government propaganda but it's not propaganda because it's u.s. government propaganda so it's yeah that's the one thing that got me it's like a case or two years russian funded that gets a bad check mark voice of america is u.s. funded that gives a good check mark because hey there's laws that keep them. i'm printing whatever they want to print but that's. right. what's interesting too is that like how everything gets laid out in fake news is that like when you look at the age range of the people like a this study that was talking about earlier from the very few people actually do some of the big news on facebook it's actually a very small percentage and all that small percentage both democrat republican user sixty five and older serve more than twice as many big news articles as the next oldest generation group forty five to sixty but nearly seven times as many as the millennium was eighteen to twenty nine s.

saying wow boomers this fall and for well there's are the same people who send like chain letters. there's they've all got to send us you know the e-mails saying if you don't send this to send people are few do the smart soccer very scary give me a million dollars. oh i hear this nigerian prince really wants to meet you he's got some money for you these are things that we've always sort of put her through but it has to do a lot with congress and a lot of that has to do with things that are how old congresses and so they're they're sort of speaking to their base and that sounds so you've got the hundred fifteenth congress who spent the summer screaming about the dangers of fake news when the average age of this u.s. of these u.s. senators was almost sixty two years old fifty eight mouse. that's an even older that may. they're a millennial so i'm old enough to be there but there's congressman old enough to be

my grandparents. great grandpa. thankfully now that's one of the things. we talked about this a lot on the show is this hundred sixteen congress has twenty five new members under forty they need people who understand how the world works where the average that's like the highest average just like sixty to sixty one it's interesting because it's like. news and then it's like you know turning like oh old people are over sharing fake news which is the only demographic we care about when we go when we're petitioning boulders. the news that is great news there's a gallup poll surveyed on the effectiveness of news. and the effectiveness of news that's conveniently paid for by news gardens parent company hired gallup to do a poll for them and the poll found that morning sixty percent of respondents thought they were less likely to serve stories from slights that were clearly labeled as unreliable they were also more likely to trust stories were credible and

that's coming so naturally it's like just go find a suppose that what we do is worthwhile so that when we try to sell this to libraries and other big groups hey look how great we are when you get tom ridge. and michael hayden. general michael hayden are two of your people i mean if that's not the face of the future of technology and. the bush era. this week in los angeles pencils now were books and definitely no more teachers dirty looks more than thirty thousand educators went on strike monday morning in the second largest school district in the nation this comes after negotiations broke apart between the l.a. unified school district and united fans alice last friday in los angeles are to america. the story. also angela's teachers went on strike in

los angeles teachers went on strike in the rain today but it's after the unions rejected a deal from the school districts and now more than a half million students are left in the middle of the chaos tens of thousands of los angeles teachers went on strike this morning and this is after months of talks between the union and the school districts members of the united teachers los angeles voted last year to walk off the job if a deal wasn't reached that included higher wages and smaller class sizes the question age do we still have a paper. candidate and quite attached. to me really very much today maybe. thank you in fact i am a big shady. and they actually enjoy nice thank. you jack did a district offer friday a deal included hiring twelve hundred teachers counselors nurses and librarians

would have also were due to class sizes as far as a pay raise teachers would receive six percent more over the first two years of a three year contract the union wanted a six point five percent hike at the beginning of a two year contracts but according to superintendent austin buettner the school district did everything they could with in their means to avoid a strike we don't think it helps our community in the same communities as legislators are we talked about the difficulty we've had so far in bringing you to l.a. to these conversations their offer or their demands are unchanged for almost two years and we've told them we can't afford those according to the district the union's demands could have bankrupt the school system so far it's projecting a half billion dollar deficit this budget year and billions are going toward pension payments and health care coverage for retired teachers in the meantime schools will stay open and the district has hired hundred. substitutes

interestingly enough the union calls the move irresponsible and urges parents to either keep kids home or joint marchers well in the last year similar demands were made from teachers in west virginia kentucky oklahoma and most recently in arizona in los angeles and artsy. and your this is nice in the taj so that you haven't brought it home is that we forget that just last year we saw that with a teacher strike me going on across the country but it may have been higher wages better working conditions all of this than just pretty incredible it is and i want to things you have to understand is that one we have a teacher shortage us in this country and part of that because of these kinds of conditions so you have people with degrees who could go out and teach and teach your children who may be actually over qualified to teach your kids you know but they won't do it because it's ultimately going to cost them money out of their pocket you're not i mean this idea that they don't have money is ludicrous that

when you look at the things that are that are paid for when you work with them there so you have over thirty thousand of these teachers striking started on monday here first time in thirty years first time in thirty years of the l.a. unified school district could not get through negotiations in the first failure of negotiation it's interesting because we toward. street journal donald brought up charter schools being a big issue in regards to this. and i looked into this is publicly funded but privately operated charter schools are major player because while rollman has declined in the l.a. school district most kids last year all that charter school roman has continued to grow in the past decade and roughly one in five was essential students now attend charter schools these are publicly funded schools but privately operated which means i bet if you went in there to check the same thing happened in milwaukee a lot of those kids that are under those lines if they're getting paid for being at those charter schools abets are not even. attending classes and their be

interesting to point out according to l.a. times a city now l.a. has more charter schools and more charter school students than any other school system in the country and most charter school employees are not unionized right so you don't have to pay unionized teachers you don't have to have any standards you don't have to answer to anybody about how that kid either did or didn't get an education but you can still take that money and put it in your pocket. all. yeah i think that's what this is coming down there is a major major problem one of the unified teachers los angeles president alex can put up or all hadley charged district leaders of wanting quote as recently to starve our schools in order to justify cuts and justify handing more schools over a privately run charter schools that's what they did and malaki that's what they're doing everywhere that is what your head of education up in the trump administration right now betsy though betsy to austin her whole run to be able to make lots of money on the yacht let's not privatized our education not that way now are those

we're going to break all quaters don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we cover them facebook and twitter and see our poll shows at our team dot com coming up our own top of wallace and social media producer devon springer take us behind the technical wizardry and into the biggest controversies of the consumer electronics show you don't want to miss this stay tuned for the. banks geysers financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried. that's cause

report. when i came back from iraq now i hope marijuana her was cocaine methamphetamine see anything that's altering trying to get us out of. that bad mindset using the chemical that would be self medicating. i want to be drinking and drinking just killing myself but i drink alcoholic. drink to get drunk alcoholics drink to feel normal. that's why i now call it's this way drug addicts you. shot by silver in their. star cool i do what these guys are going through to do it it just means to. need to be helped and then i get pushed on by the v.a.'s ars drugs bill and stuff they need to be built. they just

really shouldn't be looked at like numbers they should be looked at by people if they go to a veteran center for health issues be considered as someone who really needs attention. the consumer electronics show has been considered the global stage for innovation in the last fifty years like the world's fairs before it was a meeting of some of three hundred thousand plus law is supposed to be an open forum for all that tech can do to make the world a better place and while many products this year showed this state desire to put people at the center of technology itself and here's the designers there seems to be at least two major areas in which the show and its organizers miss the point and end up showing just how biased the tech world still is to women and. differently

abled before the show even got into full swing c.e.'s was facing major backlash is after a product called osei was selected as an honorary on the robotics and drones product category the product was a personal massager designed by an all female team using micro robotics engineering and biomimicry to create a product that adjusts the just to each user's particular body done with only a few days ago in the show the award was revoked and the company banned from the convention floor according to the consumer trade association which heads up the show entries dmv by c.t.a. it in their sole discretion to be immoral obscene indecent profane or not in keeping with c.d.'s image will be disqualified disqualified. funny thing is we walked past not one but multiple booths including one from naughty america that had lines of men sitting out in open watching actual porn on virtual reality. these

products and both were removed. as on the flip side the consumer electronics show seems to have a very confused concept of what it means to be differently abled for one according to the event's own rules personal mobility devices with or without motors are not permitted at the venue which would explain why we didn't see a single person in a wheelchair or mobility device at the event even more puzzling if you weren't aware of the power of capitalism segues were the only personal mobility devise allowed to be used for those who fall under the americans with disabilities act so while the diversity intact is touted as a selling point the reality is that the tech world is still primarily men and the able bodied meaning the products that rise to the top are only serving those at the top joining us now to discuss our times the consumer electronics show watching social media producer join me demonstrate the great great work for both we can

bring in those products and talk about the things we saw and it's interesting to build behind that kind of seems they're going to see firsthand. interesting thing about the product you're talking about. if the problem was that there was no category for the product that's the excuse right no category and how to get as far as being awarded the prize prize came from c.s. it went through their whole process it went through everything it is a robotic category involves robotics and also it was gone it went through the entire judging process and nobody said anything which just made. one of the things i think that that's interesting now is that ten years ago there wasn't this difference between. you know it's sort of adult toys there was an entire section of c.s. devoted to it it wasn't consider it this taboo subject it was just part of it and what they would do is have that and it would run in tandem with the adult

entertainment expo and and everything it was all one big sort of. play with the right and you know one of the things that i think is really doesn't make any sense is that c.t.a. saying that this product which is in fact a robotic product it's an all female design team and they they took something to an all different level but the reason that it's about women's pleasure and women are to be pleasured and what i think we're going to see enjoy. that scary i mean it's particularly interesting because it was designed by an all women design team one of the only products there are from my understanding that was designed by a completely sort of women's design team of businesses and robotics engineering specialists and all this and that's the one that has come under fire i mean that could have been a huge step for inclusion and instead it's gone the complete opposite with one and one of the interesting things just to kind of break this come of that we talked about earlier today is that you guys both told me you know what what was the

demographic you saw there you know a c.e.o. sold to movie i mean was it was a diversity all around or well let me just say. it then was who you know i mean the very first thing when we walked in it was almost jarring it was just just men only women and when you did see women they were the show girls who were you know showing off products for the most part and then when it comes of people of color i mean there is you can count on your hands how many people of color you saw it was just very very specifically dominated by men no women very few women of color as well so i think it's kind of him emblematic of the larger tech industry that we saw. an anomaly that's sort of the pattern right so you know what's interesting about that was the. it kind of the does make sense ultimately would like oh we're going to move this one you know do female massage product because well who's going to stop by this booth what it's all men can i point out that it's

a way to reason for you know one of the many reasons that women should be going and should be enjoying right and before going on to the thing about disability and i want to say this is that during the same show while while you know the idea of a woman clashing herself with a piece of technology is obscene they did however have an entire thing that was called oh my body. classy and what it is is an app for an apple watch that connects to a sex toy so i'm a and gives the sex toy to a woman she puts it on and then he can be anywhere controlling it with an app that wasn't i've seen that wasn't discussing that wasn't a big scare that was ok and right out in the open along with. virtual reality of course i mean we saw a guy is sitting at counter i was literally sitting in the middle of the place watching porn while yeah i mean it was almost creepy when we noticed it there's a sort of room where they had virtual reality helmet so they were watching pornographic material on and then

a lot of people were commenting saying it was kind of jarring or uncomfortable and really versus just displaying a product you know i mean that wasn't even being used it was for women's pleasure so that all very well i mean because it's like i'm a big first moment person i believe as long as i hurt nobody i don't care what you do in your bedroom i don't care what products you want to sell or what products you would buy but keep it even across the board you know at the end of the day i you know governor i want to ask you because we had talked about this last week when we were there is of all the places in the world. what would you expect to see the top notch accessibility and solutions for those who are differently able it should i assume a better c.e.o.'s because most of the products there in some way make you better you know it's like to be human condition right what surprised you the most about accessibility so yes i mean one of the first things to say. is there were hundreds of thousands of people there it was super crowded you had to use stairs to go most places so if you're in a wheelchair cards is a cane it's almost impossible for you to get around so that led us to look for sort

of things about us us ability in new technology to help those with you know disabilities and there is virtually none there is a small section those the a sus ability sort of corridor where they had some innovative would share designs and a few things like that but overall that was like a very very tiny blip and most people focused on video game console and the dubai police flying drones which is bizarre that's not. so one we up we didn't see i think maybe but a few people who actually were in world chairs because as the roles they want to loudon man it was difficult for them to get around and then too we didn't see a lot of people even trying to address that why why use them why in this place where you see this cutting edge technology that's trying to be sold to the world that's trying to fill in these gaps in our elevator smokers but why do you think there's this weird like oh well we don't want to see people wheelchairs or subways are good but we don't want to see people wheelchairs and they don't want the women

in. figuring out how to make themselves happy and people in wheelchairs are just somehow not neither as we're just not important we're obscene they're something like we make about among comparable yeah the creepy dubai writhing motorcycle helicopter that literally had nothing except they just kept running and so it's like when they everywhere it was a very big and you guys experience i mean these things first hand while you're there i mean was there any moments where you guys felt like oh wow i was a woman a foe really disrespect or or wow that really was the moment subsists well yes we actually tried out that the two of us went in to try out the massage chairs and i will tell you what ended up happening was devon got ten minutes i got about eight to ten minute. it's so basically you get in this massage chair and they actually control it but when you go we're doing the demo right now so when my eight to ten minutes was a they were like ok please go and that was about it and then i looked over she got

a for thirty minutes they gave her a blanket. all of really no joke and really any of the the women in white people who were there were getting treated like royalty and the rest of us that we only got our so maybe i saw some people who got five minutes you know we were just like i couldn't get out it was very obvious what was that and i was like i hope they don't realize that i don't have ten grand for a moustache. you know it is widely used for your resume massage sure but it is a study that is god given the entire because you soon do you can't afford it yeah that's exactly what it was they were really trying to sell the tablets and to me as an inconvenience another instance i typically wear hearing aids a lot i didn't wear at c.e.o.'s because a lot of the very high pitched sounds that some of the machines were making would have set it off and i would have had a ringing in my ear the whole time so little things like that where there's different things that people who have different governments can't do i hope that next year we see we see you know women included people color included because look

it's not like they don't have any gift making the world a better place i mean it's pretty ridiculous thank you guys both for coming to be with our great work of their governments to actually thank you so much trouble for . there are a lot of things that humans will need to give up if they choose to take the journey to the red planet mars for one don't expect to take a lot of long strolls on the beach as the average temperature on mars about minus eighty degrees fahrenheit we're still looking for water and while most earthlings are thinking of planning every anything on mars one country with over eighty centuries of experience and of it of culture or wine making is looking to make life on mars just a tad bit base there. the millennium project will begin by studying which grapes will work best all run by the country of georgia how they will react to radiation and most importantly how can we make sure vino is available to the colonists

priorities people but don't expect there to be a mars read waiting for you it turns out tyrrell that white grapes are stronger and more resistant to virus as a radiation so it turns out you better get if you like red wine you're not going to get it so and so like room with a sun down you don't like the what is it a cup of your journey to get to where mars is years of six months or something like amber multi-use so it'll be like you know we finally get the nice mars white that i got shipped in from our. predator could stop all right everyone deserves oprah today remember in this world we are not told the real love the job so i tell you all i love i am tired of the three of them to have a while and keep on watching those talks never a good thing right but. u.s.

secretary of state mike pompei oh tells us america is a force for good in the middle east well that's pretty amazing and online censoring continues apace also for the democrats the party of war no. one else seemed wrong but. just don't all. get to shape out these days become active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she still look for common ground. to get up off the ground began to. hurt themselves on the

sounds of men and maybe a grown man with misleading essentially. twisted away from the officer. of his group. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the web in one smith's and then when it happened on she swung as i didn't hit him i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here there again fifteen feet apart at this point and that's when the officer his gun in the. us media coverage of alleged trumped russia collusion provokes the ira the american president that's off to one else let's even published a complete guide since his impeachment. for people to kills a ninety three in jets after huge explosion rocked.
