7:18 pm
truly care about your many lives you'd support the saudi led effort to prevent yemen from turning into a puppet state of the corrupt british islamic republic of iran the way to alleviate the many people suffering isn't to prolong the conflict by handicapping our partners in the fight but by giving the saudi led coalition the support needed to defeat arabian backed rebels and ensure just peace donald trump's arms deals with saudi arabia are expected to total three hundred fifty billion dollars and apart from military equipment washington provides riyadh with logistics and intelligence our correspondent steeper into the u.s. secretary of state's comments. the united states makes no secret of what it stands for freedom justice democracy and saudi arabia the white house stands firm on that even if the senate is having second thoughts voting to end u.s. support for riyadh's endless war in yemen saudi arabia's bloody war in yemen
7:19 pm
world's worst humanitarian disaster the horrific wall in yemen saudi led quagmire we are helping saudi arabia drop bombs on churches and weddings we all want this conflict to end if you truly care about your many lives you'd support the saudi led effort to prevent yemen from turning into a puppet state of the corrupt british islamic republic of iran as opposed to becoming a puppet of the free and fair saudi arabia but what do we know the saudis have waged a four year war against who the rebels who they call terrorists that has turned yemen into a humanitarian catastrophe worse even than syria four and five yemeni civilians twenty four out of twenty eight million need aid to survive

7:21 pm
pompei zero is adamant if a little bit rabid in his support for saudi arabia and gun sales which really care about saudi lives you'd want to stop or run back through these from launching missiles into riyadh amazing how you can twist and turn reality on its head rather than protecting you many civilians from saudi arabia he's protecting saudi arabia from starving many civilians really and speaking of protecting saudi lives there is a tiste one life that washington didn't seem so concerned about mr howe shoji was the victim of a brutal and premium riyad brushed off ickes ations that the rule family washington was all too happy to support this explanation your way this relationship which. really really dollars profit us
7:22 pm

7:28 pm
flaws it's been in the forefront of the. efforts to improve the lives of the general population that's organized labor it's also a barrier to corporate tyranny so it's the one barrier to this vicious cycle going on which does lead to corporate tyranny. girl. or. a major reason for the concentrated. honest fanatic attack on unions our guys labor is they are a democratizing force. to provide a barrier that defends workers' rights but also popular rights generally. and that it interferes with the prerogatives now heard for those who own and manage this saturday. i should say said andy union sentiment in the
7:29 pm
united states among elites is so strong. that the fundamental couper of labor rights the basic principle in the international labor organization is the rate of free association which would mean the right to form unions and us has never ratified. but i think the us may be alone among major societies in that respect. it's considered so for. them or that the us has a lawn very violent labor history as. society. but the labor movement had been very strong by the one nine hundred twenty s. . period not unlike today it was virtually crushed robert reich.
