it's up to the government to step in and be a player in the economy not just an enabler. you know the government should be competing for health care and drug prices they should be competing in transportation and education and they should offer an alternative people should be able to get a public utility bank for example account and get out of the matrix of the big wall street banks they don't have that option they should have that option therefore you would restore some competition in their economy. hundreds of people protested outside an italian appeals court this week after two

could save around one gigaton of c o two and result in net health benefits at the global level due to reduced consumption of meat the report states space for livestock accounts for almost eighty percent of global farmland the livestock industry is considered one of the main contributors to de forestation of the amazon so we put the issue of the debate with social and environmental justice campaign to george barda and former republican state senator john lauder. i think the important thing from my point of view is that as a point of principle who the idea that we try in bring in the real well understood costs of meat eating to human health to the planet we bring that into the moment calculation i think that clearly makes sense one thing it tax would do is as we know is make people more poor i mean we know that in the united states we typically except in most states not california that taxation is supposed to be about raising
4:22 pm
money to operate government not change people's behavior if you're going to go down the road of taxing things to change behavior then we make enemies of our neighbors or people in america and europe there are billions of dollars of negative health impacts from meat consumption but what we're talking about across the world is devastating impacts already to hundreds of millions of people from the climate change the meat eating drives enormously we have all sorts of looming crises i mean this is absolutely demonstrably the case we've already seen droughts floods typhoons flattening countries this idea that somehow it's manmade and that col flatulence is going to kill millions of people around the equator is just one of the most laughable things i've ever heard and it's really amusing to see people like you come on with such veracity and as if you've got your case prove it and you have to laugh at this because otherwise you would have to take the new different
4:23 pm
scientific strands that demonstrate this seriously and what we're talking about is millions of lives already being hugely damage and impacted by the pollution caused by the meat industry you know we have the healthiest we have probably among the healthiest poor in the world here in the united states the lifestyle the poor here very well taken care of and because we have the largest to care for them and by the way they eat a lot of meat in this country so it's hugely distro. so as to the health of the united states i mean it's you wouldn't really struggle to find a single medical professional these days that wouldn't agree with the fact that we need to reduce we need to reduce our consumption of meat and dairy to live happier and healthier thanks for joining us to saving haven and to international all that but with the latest at the top of the hour.

4:25 pm
this is very important to start thinking positively about the new tools to build a new system. this is a stick from the old water bottle found in the stomach of the fish the brand is sponsor of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones there the litterbugs are trying this way and. history should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. as the seeds do cookouts lose excuse. to may look at soon as cool sets for their classy crispy cake with me on my end only stay at a special projects funded. on the new vest that is the end of a footy team but for now the mountains of noise only grow where.
4:26 pm
you'll find a. good price there's no. been a real good shops to begin murders drawls all life. becomes how things are in the last community young people are deciding if they want to be not like their parents not liked and liberals. always struggle school again you always have problems but you're not going to focus a lot it's the most ubiquitous going out there most police departments use it almost overstayers in the school that they could get their hands on economies in twenty four hours. through it teaching these kids a bio racism about police brutality taking pride in them being all these kids are a part of all this true.
4:27 pm
it's a report on max because or yeah you know we should go back to glasgow to the yes bar in rally the troops because i think it's time for scotland to have another referendum you know get rid of that get out of the. yeah. stacie troublemaker they're actually from clay and maxwell causing trouble again we can lead the revolution from caliber at castle right there down on the border so you know there's also another revolution happening here elizabeth warren paul the ninja move to turn text angst into a crack down with real teeth and tech is going to suffer even if she's not president this is from
4:28 pm
a business insider and they say elizabeth warren's call for breaking up amazon facebook and alphabet represent a real threat to those companies even if she doesn't become president her proposal thread in support of spotlight on those companies and their business practices one that could expose them to reputational harm moreover every presents an attempt to gain support for a rethinking of antitrust policy one of which regulators scrutinize the effects of concentrated corporate power on things other than just consumer prices amazon facebook and alphabets powerless benign if you would only from the lens of consumer prices their power that's much worse if it's broader effects are taken into account well you know this is really the other and of a long. period which i will put under the heading of reaganomics remember a reagan took over where you took. wind. and it was. of a period of deregulation and we love every monopoly that comes down the pike.
4:29 pm
and corporate america can do no wrong right so that was a whole reagan period reagan period so now we're at the end of that so now the pendulum is swinging wildly in the other direction whether to go see her policies or elizabeth warren bernie sanders socialism is back back in the mix right so that's this is a new era this is a brand new year this is interesting and for me i guess i've been around a lot a while so it's like i'm i'm witnessing the birth of a whole new era in american politics ok so let's roll back this story antitrust the antitrust is something you and i have been covering and i've used math still or his work a lot he's he does all this and so i trust work and trust has not been enforced there are laws against it on the books but that we have not enforced if the past thirty five years and that's because we decided our politicians rather decided that only price and it doesn't matter as if eighteen t.
4:30 pm
owns every single line and alan that's eighteen t. is the only person the only company sorry i know they have personhood now the only company from which you could buy telephone or internet services from if they are the only ones as long as their prices stay low that's fine so what is now happening is that people are starting to realize that it's more than just prices i mean after all facebook services are free you don't have to pay a single dime for them nevertheless how about the power they are able to exert not only on our politics and our culture but also they prevent innovation from ever happening and that is that important to capital society these are the questions we should at be asking or is it like the neo liberal trick where they just point to one thing as we did this many contracts or that you know we got your price lower but is of prizes in other words of sounds great well as what dorna sung and it's
