motive but the brothers only told police they were pretty sure they received the hundred dollar bill from small of twenty five january two thousand and nineteen but he not sure when the bill but he was unsure when the bill was used and that they were pretty sure they received the check on january twenty seventh two thousand and nineteen which is just one of the ways in which the chicago police department's theory of conspiracy by just a small it has been unraveling in recent weeks let's get to the bottom of this watching the hawks. that's. what they like that i got.

well the watching the entire world but for. joining us now to discuss. the just a small a case and everything that sort of happening is there and educator and thanks for joining us thank you how you doing so good man is good this is interesting no this is the same chicago police department that was back in two thousand and seventeen department just for support to have a code of silence in effect to cover up wrongdoing the poor was sparked by the two thousand and fifteen shooting of look one mcdonald in which the chicago p.d. you know was found to have this code of silence regarding the acts of bad officers why does the media why does the media continue to take the chicago police department at their word when the d.o.j. numerous studies even the f.b.i. has found them to be untrustworthy and deeply flawed. i want you

guys in the which you probably already know that the storage in the hypocrisy that exists within the chicago police department is it's a story the corruption is the story the corruption is there the problem is that they've got a whole television shows and movies dedicated to the corruption of that department in the last few years they paid over three hundred million dollars in this kind of the settlement so it was kind of excitement so we know it's not a game it's a corruption very seriously. it's a sport for them. so do i and this is not this is not me you know rallying for just because the whole situation looks suspect but the fact of the partment like you said look out of the economy. and i know that's what makes me wonder about what is so what is suspect and what isn't suspect because now we found out you know as you said the c.p.d. has been found over time to have lied not just about a million other things but this case specifically the f.b.i.

came out right after word right when this all happened to say that this he was wrong about the evidence that they said that that just he had sent this threatening letter that it showed up to the empire set that they had said he had sent it to himself the f.b.i. and they have no evidence to prove that they've already they came out specifically to say that that chicago police were wrong about that now we find out that they're what the witnesses these brothers who they contend was part were paid to be part of this scheme voluntarily were part of it though no charges have been made against them today we found out that they were put up at you know two hundred plus and i hundred dollar and i tell they were given what they call cash for food include incidentals in the report. what what is that that makes this train because i feel like for me the fact that the brothers were not not only not arrested not charged but why isn't there like a basic sort of journalistic question about that why is no one asking why they

weren't charged and that's the problem like public trust is shattered people were split over this you know like another issue on top of what you just said is this is whole idea of the mayor the police chief and everybody putting all of their weight behind this you know secada goes as a city as it is has a lot of issues and things that they should be more passionate about but they're dumping everything be has something that they're not even sure about it is all right for p.r. to look like get tough on crime look like it's awful celebrities you know treat them different but you know the forfeit is one hundred thousand i was ten they had as ten thousand zero and so he only had to pay that ten percent he gave ten percent over the bond and he said they didn't just say i was a community service. it is kind of staggering when you look at this and like you were saying do you like when you mention that it's like everybody jumped on this thing. you know you look back and say why over this particular case you know the

let me give you this is the chicago police report gets about forty percent of the city's public service budget and yet as often organizers sharleen crothers told our magazine there's all this the c p d n a day to day basis does not operate as an entity that keeps us safe as black people or queer folk they have a very low clearance rate in actually determining who committed certain acts of violence against other people particularly in black neighborhoods did these facts make small its initial apprehension to even report the attack make more sense in context when you look at that when you know that they might not even listen to me. yet in the what we know about the c.p.d. and how they act and what we know how it is being a black person in the traumas and things that a lot of queer people suffer from this. a lot of people just don't report crimes. you know just we're here in a very difficult political time in our country right now and so you know i'm not going to believe he was telling the truth before i even took time and allows

a story like who's walking around with bleach on the polar vortex. three o'clock in the morning in chicago and what white nationalists is. beyond like i thought it would be ridiculous for a person to make that up so. so that's one thing and then we saw that it was so foul play it could be crazy everyone jumped on the other side but you know again it just it brings it back to the whole idea of victims like real victims are going to be skeptical now because they know the stats that you just put up because they have to live those stats and everybody is going to you know jump back on his side and say you know we got to protect the kid and you know he's rich and he's happily would he's the victim and it still just seems fishy in chicago p.d. you know they were going to look ridiculous even when. interesting what do you say to journalists. have reported what the c.p.d. said. without thought and just kind of kept it going so at the end of the day you

know we have to use the right terminology to show that we're just telling the story but there's nothing wrong when you report the story when you tell the story you're telling the story you know allegedly he said this happened so as a journalist i don't really think it's right to say he's lying let the facts come in let it happens as it happens of course we're going to have an opinion is it is right the work grows the presence of the story but at the end of the day we had it's about his word and so we did it because we know to turn a climate that we live in but you think here's the thing that gets me is we took him out his word until we didn't the reason we didn't take him at his word is because the c.b.d. has come up with what is really when you look at this a very fishy story from their side what they're saying is that first to supposedly celebrity endorser a trainer is who only charged twenty to fifty dollars an hour by the way according to the police report for their training chicago i don't know where they had anybody going to turn and then they're saying well you know their story has literally in there they're saying no we didn't know we're pretty sure we think we did we got one

hundred dollars for him but we didn't use it for this what way do you start to really question i mean i question this every time the chicago police department says anything because even a manual himself said they had a problem back in two thousand and fifty so. to me i'm much more concerned about the fact that we sort of. gave the c.p.d. it seems that a lot of people just gave the c.p.d. a pass the chicago police department at the johnson a pass that we just bought it and people printed stuff when so much false information got out but they put so much weight behind their story the same way he it's. like we if this is what they bring instead of media we as our job to report what they bring now if it comes if it comes out that they're not telling the truth because we know it you know just the story gets messy and the c.p.d. story is fishy as well as our job to give analysis and to talk about that and i've mentioned that i don't i don't think anyone. listen to jesse i don't think anyone

should feel ashamed for you know not believing in what the c.p.b. said but reporting what he said which is two whole different things allegedly this is what they said happened it doesn't mean it actually happened because like i said i don't trust jesse and i don't trust to see nothing that really got on my skin with all this though is that everybody in the aftermath of that the prosecutor saying hey you know what this isn't really what this do go this isn't really worth the time you know why are we involved in this immediately the c.p.d. and rahm emanuel get on t.v. with this idea we talked about it and you pointed it out brilliantly which was it's innocent till proven guilty technically he's innocent of this crime because they never actually went to trial they never. manual made it absolutely possible for a gay black man who was accused of lying to the police to get a fair trial from minute one he couldn't get a fair trial because of the way that it was handled and to me that is the part where were you saying is who's who is in

a sense to hold on to that innocent till proven guilty because that's they get away with this because they say you're guilty that's how they shoot people in the street and to me it's no different you know you're one hundred percent right. just to add on to what is just what you put that much. energy writers i've been bangs go unnoticed has national attention here's this national attention to how light the real issues are not someone cried over their salary if that's the case not only will they have that into every day i don't know but i thought that so i did i am going right over there so i have thank you very much for coming on always a pleasure having you on author and educated. all right as we go to break cock watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook twitter and you tube and see our poll shows that are. coming up we delve into puerto rico and find out what the how her taking advantage of fracking in that system down there and how the government is pushing it on the puerto ricans after all the storm stay tuned to watch.

the tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been fully implemented for the inside venezuela things were different we're going to announce sanctions against petroleum to venezuela so soon. in the schools that have a supplemental. down for some football and assume that the. local the whose story isn't new nixon told in henry kissinger to tell us that it would not be tolerated in latin america an alternative economic and social

system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make. the chilean economy scream so wants to make the economy of venezuela schoolies. the great tragic comedy known as russia gate is slowly becoming part of history the resistance continues to resist trump clearly the president has the wind at his back now is it time for a great awakening what are the lessons to be learned and can the liberal media recover from this fiasco. to get up off the ground begin to down. democrats on the sounds of. grown man like wrestling essentially. through his.

twisted away from the office or. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the weapon once missed and then when it happened on tree swung at didn't hit him i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were back here there try again fifteen feet apart at this point and that's when the officer has gone in and did it on three. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. you. see.

smoke coming from the meeting of the muslim on muslim women feel better than with some cousins that's because i. was. just as. she was you make the. most you know yesterday in. general but from the sun on my book you go to the british courts they're going up i've been roughed up. i mean. i think that. it's ok.

while some are might lead dances around the senate floor with pictures of man and ronald reagan writing of the last raptor hoping to inspire so this is to procreate as a fix for climate change for those of us living outside the halls of congress there are real issues related to climate change that need real attention especially for those living in the path of the intensified natural disasters it creates like the good citizens of puerto rico who this week saw united states president donald trump . but as administrator and put a roadblock in front of a massive disaster aid bill working its way through the senate trump declared it a closed door meeting on capitol hill that after getting hit by two devastating hurricanes in two thousand and seventeen that the amount of aid for puerto rico is way out of proportion to what texas and florida and others have gotten according to white house officials the federal government has allocated some forty billion for puerto rico disaster recovery however many point out that the unincorporated u.s. territories estimated to have incurred anywhere but from forty five to ninety five

billion in upwards and damages from the hurricane white house deputy press secretary judd deer told n.b.c. news that quote the trump administration will not put taxpayers on the hook to correct a decades old spending crisis that has left the island with deep rooted economic problems and while the white house may not believe the people of puerto rico deserve our money it appears they definitely my friends believe they deserve our fracking yes the real news network is now reporting that the gas industry and its allies in congress hope to push the ellen g.x. words to the islands electricity grid ravage from climate change fueled natural disaster now that my friends is a gift that just keeps on giving you around joining us now is environmental reporter steve horn with more on this subject steve thank you for coming on today. thanks again for having me appreciate it good to be back steve i got to ask what exactly is the plan these fracking oil executives in their u.s. you know kind of congressmen that they have in their pocket have reported rico

regarding liquefied natural gas. yeah well the plan kind of revolves around a two pronged kind of regulatory deregulatory assault step one is something called small scale angie which has been taking place i think it predated the trumpet ministration that's really taken off in the trump era in that the oil and gas industry is currently either succeeded. twenty eighteen but after a two year push to. fast track exports of what's called small scale these are tankers that are kind of a different style than the norm all the five natural gas tankers in terms of the engineering details but the size are still very large and they're mostly leaving from florida which gets to the key part about puerto rico and the tie into the caribbean and so step two is something called the jones act the jones act is a law that applies to ships with flags that are not united states flags

if you if you carry cargo from the united states you can't take it to another part of the united states you have to take it abroad so only a foreign owned tanker could take something from the united states shores to another place in the united states because puerto rico is technically a dependency or colony playing and how you look at it of the united states the jones act is kind of currently inhibiting the island of puerto rico from receiving gas from florida because and i said i think i just said that in the reverse but so most of the elegy tankers are have foreign flags they can't go from the united states to the other part of the united states only u.s. to u.s. so right now that's a big blockade that said there are still some tankers that can do that and the small scale ones would definitely be able to do that so that's kind of the deregulatory picture in the trump era of natural gas flowing from florida to in

particular from florida to puerto rico doesn't get drilled in florida but it ends up in florida then it gets exported via these tankers and it will become increasingly so to puerto rico. is there resistance to this plan in puerto rico and is there anybody on the ground there who is against in one of they had to say. yes to the video we just put out we spoke to several different stakeholders climate activists environmental attorney and. other climate activists talk to three people there that kind of represent different parts of the advocacy community within puerto rico and yeah there there is a pretty big backlash to this of course pretty cozy electricity grid was decimated with hurricane maria so there does need to be a rebuilding of some sort for their electricity grid what they argue is that that should not revolve around natural gas coming or shell gas or frack gas coming from the north or the united states mainland to puerto rico that they argue that other

people shouldn't be hurt in those communities and we should do something that accelerates more potentially accelerates more climate change due to methane emissions to bring that gas to puerto rico so yeah there is definitely a movement that has arisen and i will say that in twenty eighteen i was talking about small scale and g. the conventional large carriers of elegy there was an opposition movement to one of those called gas port get away and that plant was actually because of that opposition and. i think it ended up resulting in that they the company that was proposing that pulled out their application that they had moving through the federal energy regulatory commission or for so yeah there's definitely a grassroots movement against these developments in puerto rico you know one of the big arguments you always hear from the fracking side you know for using fracking obtained liquid natural gas that's referring to resale injury is that it is what

they're calling this bridge fuel to renewable energy in the future is it disingenuous to call in geo bridge fuel me what you know what is this idea of a bridge fuel and one of the actual you know liquid natural gas have on the climate and potentially climate change. the argument around the british view of course started in the ne united states mainland you know ten fifteen years ago i would say with the dawn of fracking or shale gas in the united states and the argument was that it's of course a bridge to something else it's a argument goes that it's a cleaner fossil fuel and it's a bridge to things like solar wind etc as those scale what we've seen in the united states of course is kind of quite the opposite is that and it's sort of different puerto rico because they're not extracting their own gas so they would be even more dependent on this stuff the united states that has a mixed grid right now but yeah once these power plants and things like that are

built out what we see in the united states is that they lock in contracts for a very long time they don't just sign one or two or three year contracts there are twenty twenty five year contracts so. the scope of climate change and the number of years we have to cut back on the use of fossil fuels doesn't really alive and you know the i.p.c.c. came out with the report last year saying we have about twelve years to really make a major dent in climate change emissions otherwise we're looking at even worse irreversible damage is and the bill of this kind in search of something in the last more than twelve years i think people on the ground would say for sure so yeah what they're also arguing is puerto rico has abundant sunshine and would be a great place to build out solar special you're starting pretty much from the ground up right now given how much infrastructure was damage it's a great chance to instead of doing that quote unquote bridge fuel idea start out

with something where you're starting from ground zero as opposed to the united states which has so much legacy fossil fuel and with structure it might be a little bit harder to phase it out as quickly in a way you could see this crisis in puerto rico as an opportunity i think that's what they would argue but of course the natural gas industry sees it as a major opportunity to to flood the grid. frac gas from the united states. so one of them you think he was coming back in as you had mentioned that the bees are supposed to be the small shipments a small tanker is and that's kind of what the trump administration making it easier i guess the one question to really clarify for people at home is just are these any safer is the transportation of them safer because it's not just one thing to puerto rico but we're talking about from florida all the way along to puerto rico is that things are the same or just you know let's say yeah that's a great question i think that at the end of the day it's not really clear if well no because i mean the industry knows it's not clear that this will be discussed in

regulatory filings in the current status that got set up under this new regime for small scale because under what happened what i said it was fast tracked there are the environmental review process in which those type of things are discussed in public hearings or where experts can come to testify or do filings and that whole process the industry sees as onerous and holds it back from moving as quickly the process doesn't exist anymore for small scale and g. it's literally a carve out for a small scale alan g. in which under the natural gas act of nine hundred thirty five that says there's language that says gas can only be export if it's in the court if it's in the quote unquote public interest well small scale and gee now under the department of energy rule that they put out in twenty eighteen is considered in the public interest de facto therefore any kind of discussion about this that we used to take place and

hearings and all of that we don't really know and maybe they'll be discussion about it outside of those but yeah the key mechanism to discuss this within the federal government no longer exist which is pretty i think pretty scary in a lot of ways when you talk about safety hazards or you talk about climate change. issues you talk about environmental justice issues so yeah i think that you know the entire perp. so that was to get around that and so far they have i think that's why this to our story with puerto rico i think that's why this story hasn't really come out is that the process for small scale and g. as people don't realize that it's been fast tracked in this way so there really realize that where it's been going which is puerto rico and the caribbean or where it's destiny go a little bit of time left i just want to ask you know grew quickly from what you see will puerto rico kind of ultimately accept and kind of succumb to this plan. well yeah i think that the bottom line is in their integrated resources plan or their report they said that they would like to build out three l. and g. and port terminals so it looks like the island is very much moving in the direction

of doing that at least their government. that's produced. that wasn't the case well but thank you so much for the great reporting climate reporter for the real news and network steve warren always a pleasure having you on sort of thank you. great to be out again thank you. what if the question that has helped push humanity the greatest of its achievements and now what if it's at the heart of a new experiment where researchers at the university of nottingham asked what if it can be used to help us better predict our own demise more of it but actually very young fall using a machine learning algorithm researchers input health data getting sixty different variables like age gender biometric data like blood pressure and body mass index from over five hundred thousand individuals into a machine learning algorithm and found that the machine learning models proved to be more accurate than our current standard mathematical ones while still in its infancy using machine learning in this case capacity could potentially help doctors recognize which of their patients are at higher risk for certain conditions with

far better clarity and speed than we can today. wow that's like really incredible in the fact that c. doesn't think it's very disparate morbid like we are devoted to we're going to remember to tell us we're going to die but i want to live life expectancy you know but i understand where as not relying completely on this should be using it as like an adjunct to you know medical prognosis and things like not it would actually be super helpful i mean you would hope. told me about that some of the machines though at the end of the day. all right that is are so for you today everyone remember in this world we are not told that we are above developed so i tell you all my love i am tired of the top of the law list keep on watching those who. talks of a great. terms

of mr why go home he's played a useful role but i think that the mistake he's made thus far is not announcing that he would not stand for president so to say to the venezuelan people and to the international community i've done my role which i believe is a constitutional one is the interim president but don't look for me to run think if he were to do that the situation in venezuela would be perceived as less one of the states. officer. told him to get up off the ground began to pet him down. here democrats on the

sounds of kind of maybe a grown man in the christening essentially. john. was that away from the office or the joy out of his group or. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the web in one's midst and then when it happened on three swung at the observations didn't hit them i never saw any contact with. any kind of back to where they were so the officers back here there by again fifteen feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and he did it on three .

so. unlucky for to resume a british. reject the prime minister's last ditch attempt to force. the u.s. secretary of state russia has interfered in every u.s. election since two thousand and four. faces a huge backlash from the group controversial depiction of the holocaust in the new singles video we discussed the reaction from the public. friday the twenty nine.
