the claim that the entire case was politically motivated and then his wife was the one responsible for any financial in consistencies that is until margaret hunter's june 13th 2019 plea agreement for one count of conspiracy with states beginning no later than 2010 and continuing up to and including at least 2016 there was an agreement between defendant and hunter to knowingly and willfully convert campaign funds to personal use in total throughout the relevant period the huntress illegally converted more than 200000 in campaign funds to purchase goods and services in addition this week justice department prosecutors reviewed new allegations that representative hunter's duncan hunter used large portions of that money to carry out a number of extramarital affairs and you asked how could the tale of duncan hunter get any worse well this week an exclusive interview with r.t. americas in question former hill staffer worry tiley topic revealed that he also has a history of inappropriate sexual behavior while in his capacity and as

a congressman which makes one wonder why so many people in power still seem to think you can buy your way out of anything even making deals with the devil like wayfarer did this week when employees staged a walkout over the furniture distributors work with detention centers currently holding asylum seekers the us mexico border and said it actually addressing the concerns or the optics of the deal they instead gave $100000.00 to the red cross who by the way has nothing to do with operations at the border and has a terrible record of using the funds given to them finally this week are instagram moms influencing stress with their seemingly perfect lives both on other moms and their children stealing cheating and lies must be time to start watching the hawks . you're the do your duty. with the spending by real with. the bottom. speak about what they like. i get the complete. with.

her. we can be held back by the bad choices of others or we can create the options for our own future t.v. phenol and trail blazer shonda rhimes once had a character of hers declare you can waste your lives drawing lines or you can live your life crossing them so let's ignore the boundaries cross the lines and enter the gallery. thank you for joining me today in a gallery or scotty of news views here's an artsy america correspondent's armaan testa and rachel love and thank you for joining me thanks for having me so you know we all have these stories about friends or we have our own stories of people leaving jobs women especially leaving jobs because of creepy and hideous men. and i

don't think a lot of people acknowledge the fact that a lot of good smart women are not are being driven out of public service for it and i want to take this time right now and to listen to the story of health staff or worry the topic on her own story take a listen. when i was a hill staffer i worked for the house veterans affairs committee and in 2014 i was at the n.r.c. see dinner and duncan hunter had clearly appeared intoxicated and came up to me and said that he wanted to speak to me about agent orange which was an issue the committee was dealing with at the time and i in response said i'm happy to reach out to your staff and follow up on that and he leaned into me very closely and said no i want to talk to you and i felt very uncomfortable and tried to back up and he reached around and put his hand on my behind and said let me give you my cell phone number and mediately kind of backed up and pushed him away one of our subcommittee chairman at the time was jon runyan of new jersey who used to play in the n.f.l.

for the eagles thankfully and is a large intimidating guy so i went up to congress and runyan and said please get me out of here and we left and i actually left my position on the committee shortly thereafter because it was not an environment that i felt comfortable working in after that 5 years ago i know in my personal experiences if after i didn't feel comfortable coming forward i felt like i might have retaliated that it might cost me my job because members of congress are very powerful around this town and you don't want to jeopardize your professional future just because somebody has the potential to react retaliate against you. when they start with you've got a why you are what why i mean i know we're sort of in this now sort of post me to coming out so now there's this you know she gets to tell her story where 5 years ago she just left her job why are we letting hideous men drive good women smart women out of out of public service out of the media why are we doing that when we talk about we get them or in this case this is with all of the people that are up

on the hill that are bad it's the elected they keep putting him back in office now duncan hunter in his last race barely squeaked by but it's not like there's been official formal charges that have been filed against him yet that's actually still up there he could run for reelection and the people of his district and time and time again and forth. that we see people the district kind of ignore things like campaign finance and they don't realize it's kind of like dominoes if they're willing to cheat when it comes to campaign finance if they're really to cheat on their grades if they're willing to cheat in other areas guess what it's going to probably go over into other spillover to other areas and it's up to the people who elect them to hold them accountable because that's how our constitution is set up as long as there is not an issue with the law and go being a legal which i think there was in this case but it just has not been filed yet i also think often women especially when you're younger are afraid to speak out and tell their stories and say things out of fear that they will then be shunned and that they will no longer be able to get another job i mean i've heard this from

people time and time again i didn't speak up because i was young it was my 1st job out of college i thought that i would never be hired again it would be legal fees it would be taking down somebody with so much power i don't have the time or really the nerve to do that because it takes a lot of takes being brave being courageous coming out and telling their story and i think for me too movement has helped in telling getting people out there and giving them a voice but i also think that also comes with maturity and went to a woman's a different age and a different time of their life that that may help but it also just depends but i mean like what i want to get rachel in on this but let me just point the other side of it is there's also a lot of responsibility comes these women that are providing for their family that are taken care of as they get older to to go on if i say this i lose all of the revenue stream for my family going for at least when you're young and thank god this is the one best part of me too it's allowing that to say to come out there is cover for down the road but now for those older women that this there at the end

they don't need to start from scratch ground 0 either in another career you've grown out of you know you're just entering into this you feel like that you're in a bit of an advantage actually now that maybe women of the past of broadcasting thanks to everything that's coming out absolutely and i think it's really great to see women coming out and talking and. you know it's when we look at worst case it really brings up the fact that when women are put in these situations a lot of times we try to rationalize she may have looked at it and said oh well i was just groped it could have been a lot worse it's easier to just take a step back and get out of the situation instead of trying to draw a lot of light to it so i think that that's going to be the next step in the conversation is ok how do we deal with things and it is important to have you know more women in the situations who can step in or like in her case she so that she turn to another congressman who isn't there for her and so i think it's just another step in the conversation that we need to have but it also is really important to talk about it was really kind of her to say i was not defined by that

which i think a lot of i don't sometimes struggle with and when she said that it was like hearing like the perfect saying where she did it she didn't allow that to bring her down of course it affected her of course there are there weren't repercussions like there should have been but she did not let that define who she was and look at her now she is doing to raise awareness for exactly. one of them before we do to the to the wayfarer story a little bit so you know of course wayfair gave this $100000.00 to red cross because their employees. had a strike and a walkout. i mean the red cross has enough problems problematic they raise half a 1000000000 for haiti and built 6 houses so i'm not sure do you think you know which is why worse when corporations like wayfarer try so hard to be woke or try to sort of cover it up back in a way fair is a company they have to pay for their employees if they want to so good to the government or whomever it was who are they to say i'm going to sell you a couch but you can only put your couch here there and other places that you know i

guess they have that right the same time that was a business decision for these employees just like these employees had a chance to walk out i don't know if this is a smart move on their part because i think a lot of people are going to go this is your job was to make a couch you don't get to say where it goes or where it doesn't and i think it has the power of the free market too because at the same time. so you may look at wafer and say i don't care what they're doing with their money i'm going to buy this couch because it's cheaper because i like it but at the same time you can also look at and say oh wait a 2nd they're involved in a lot of dealings or they have these business ties that i don't like so i'm going to go buy my couch from target or from a different regional or something like that i think it rachel is right and i'm saying that there are a lot of people who really don't care where the money goes it's a business deal that's with them here 2 wrongs may not make a right but they're trying to show this is what i'm going to do and i'm trying to make this better by donating to red cross at trying to make some sort of difference at least in their defense but like rachel said markets will be affected oh yes or no people continue to buy and people still trust the cheap furniture for those who

want to pay at least some of the kids will get some beds well that's a quote i guess actual bed that was a good i mean to me it was like oh so they're actually getting bends down there is somebody there to you right that's not my question what is what do you think that way for knew that they were selling it specifically to go to these detention facilities you know what it was in the government furniture it was just maybe you know i'm not the government buys a lot of furniture for a lot of different places so i think it's kind of wrong for these employees was taken directly so they went in there and said no we're going to how's that you know maybe they did try to get him and who knows maybe they did try to give him good furniture for it if they don't fill these are still going to be there so at least they had bed right everybody so they're not going to sell them that doesn't mean they're not going to quit they're going to close the facilities that just means people and they're just going to be that sort of need jerk reaction by corporations to jump to the wall was i give this will you not do this and we do this and onto this and i don't know that really how it could mean portion isn't it yes we are but i'm not throwing money there like what if we do this is that ok does the money and people apparently they think sells i borrow money from all the charities that you

want you know what i would check are sort of thank you very much i very appreciate your donation for whatever the reason back we will talk a little more about the people getting paid i want to talk a little bit about this this sort of viral thing that happened so last week this mom her name is gentle and she's at a local pool and she saw mom come in set up all the stuff with her daughter and a matching swimsuit put all the stuff out start taking pictures then and then get on her phone and ignore her child. well she sat on the phone and this is what she said she said the child was saying mama can you come in the water with me she was ignored mama come play with me she asked for more times the woman glanced over but never got off the phone after 10 minutes mama and that are call collected the scar on sunscreen that was never applied the water toys that never touch the water and her daughter left the pool now to be the sort of goes into that sort of instagram mom flew into thursday june and when i started looking into it what we found 7 was you know you have these people promoting like baby is doing things like promoting

swimsuit sales claiming their babies are excited for their every plane deliveries view though and one person even bragging about getting for free bikes to right around manhattan you know obviously struggling but we got to have some grace here i understand at least the child was not a safety danger right i think it's out of you know was it like going by themselves in the pool and running in the mom was on her phone and i mean this is this is i that we live in there's pros and there's cons to it and this case i'm not one to judge another mother i'm sorry because you don't know what her situation might have been granted she may have been distracted for whatever reason but she might have just spent the last 6 hours one on one with a child who knows i am one of those mothers i'm not one to judge but i'm also someone who just sent a lot of pieces so that people like my son summer can you know though i might not be the best thing to do that you do want to say it's a degree and to me it's very scary situation that we live in a time where society social media were glued to our phones on instagram watching

stories people kind of lies they live you don't have to be a mom to see that what about these answer grandma donors are these people who say oh i'm rich and meanwhile they're they're renting clothes from other places are pretending to be right or there are so many faults gives from this instagram from facebook from the snap chat from all of these new platforms that we are unfortunately we can't identify what's real what's not and about reality read the polls. rated today's reality set in a brace it i get it well let me tell you how our are our social media queen here. 1000000 it's interesting because i mean you know 10 years ago you would have thought of child models as being in a studio and doing a certain set up but now all of a sudden it could just be a kid playing by the pool and they're a child model and they might not even know it and you know nobody rover is going to remember that when you see it may not be real i know that's hard to explain. thank you so much to talk about that thank you for joining me here in the gallery now scott emails hears ceremony and so get ready rachel blevins thank you so much for

joining us as we go to break off watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we covered on facebook twitter and you tube and while we're out and while you're there check out the very 1st episode of the watching the hot typecast available now on spotify apple music and everywhere use a sarcastic article shows that artie dot com coming up in terry gives you some perspective on the 1st section of police recruitment and the date of the debate stay tuned to watching. what else is true seems wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to seep out just didn't come out to. and in detroit equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. we're going to st petersburg international economic forum and the topic of our panel is are we witnessing a paradigm shift in the global economic order the answer of course is yes it's a matter of degree. and our own birdsall ahead. or behind it for the future good but so. far good. to have it is that people. just fit into the commission did. much as we moved. to manage to finish it oh not just before.

god since we. don't need. me and don't need. the security or. any. kind of open system definition in. the next 7 months of. the news feeds are buzzing in the politics are spinning hawk watchers this week amidst all the hard talk of war with the round refugees and cages along the u.s. southern border and tariff turf war with china those of us here in the united states we're also subjected to the very 1st round of who wants to be the president

2020 democrats edition courtesy of n.b.c. news on wednesday night yes the democratic primary debates took center stage wednesday and it appears the that debate moderator n.b.c.'s chuck todd came out the winner according to the numbers yes the moderator clocked in 4th on the list of most words spoken beating out candidates like bill de blasio in the club which are and tells the gabber just to name a few i wonder i wonder what that means for the state of u.s. politics when our moderators are speaking more than most of our candidates and speaking of numbers with a hidden message inside while everyone and their captive signed up to challenge the donald for president appears that across the great red white and blue no one it seems is too keen to join the blue yes according to the latest numbers 66 percent of police departments across the country are seeing a decline in applicants so from political debates to the future of law enforcement sounds like 2 topics definitely in need of

a little perception and perspective. joining me today to offer a little perception of perspective is baltimore's own author dee watkins of america producer brant job or and founder of truth and media investigative journalist ben swan thank you all 3 for coming and joining us today i want to start with n.b.c. news in the 1st round of the democratic debates on wednesday that featured 10 of the 24 candidates running on the on the democratic side but despite the political spot star power of the. cory booker's the elizabeth warren is the telsey gabbers the bait o'rourke's it was mr meet the press himself chuck todd who took center stage along with some technical difficulties i want to just play you a quick round of curtis highlights courtesy of n.b.c. news take a look. obviously because of the size of the field that every person will be able to weigh in on everything but it's only. they're going to

have to if they could try to turn off the lives of our previous moderators you know we're going to take a quick break we're going to get this technical situation fixed we'll be right back . we believe we have the technical difficulties that are some that never say never but we will we will march forward here and i will lean forward here a little bit i promise let me get let me get this question we're try and i know you guys we've got other issues we're trying to get to including a big one coming up in a minute but. so you know he wants to let everyone talks promises hey not everyone's going to be able to talk but chalk it up 1600 words about debate on his own band i want to start with you what do you think about. well half of the words were spent trying to get them to close the mikes of the other mokhtar you know it was it was almost comical to listen to it but what i thought was so silly listen it's a tough spot to be and right he's i've i've moderated debates before that a lot of broadcasting and i understand the difficulty but there's a technical problem with trying to save that time but i didn't like was that he

kept wanting to go back and restart his question which he thought was so brilliantly written because we're only about 40 miles away from parkland high school it's so close to here and so he insisted on going back and reading this lengthy question 3 different times before he let the candidates answer and the question was pretty simple it was actually based upon something that there's no reason to think would happen which is will you confiscate guns from people who are ready have them that was the question no one ever actually answered the question what we and the inordinate amount of time was wasted and eaten up by that one questions overall i just thought the way chuck todd conducted himself the fact that a lot of those candidates did not get a chance to speak very much in b.c. clearly put elizabeth warren in the center cory booker reciter a better orc who i think probably had the worst night of anyone in terms of what he said because he had a lot of words but a lot of them were double talk or him translating for himself there's a lot of word salad in debates today and so i want to ask d.

and brant you know did we get any substance from the 1st debate or are we truly kind of in that reality t.v. of elections now we're not really going to get substance we're just going to kind of to fast food short answers and more theatrical i personally i thought there were 2 candidates up there who actually wrote 3 candidates secular who have had anything to say and that was elizabeth warren who is so prepared she'd be great if the senate actually worked she be an excellent senator who is castro who hasn't been polling well at all so he actually came up with solutions to the problems that we face and he was actually trying to give answers he actually answered the question he wasn't just giving a stump speech every time he spoke and de blasio and i were not all huge pressure to pull out. but last night he came out there to push the party to the left out of that was great so i figured you felt you've got actual little bit of substance from those 3 of those that cory booker cory booker kept reminding us he was from a rough neighborhood that's all i kept out of like hollywood squares and that way we kind of everyone on a screen at the same time and got

a way to gauge their facial expressions to many people and being a moderate as you know is a different skill than just ban and if you like that you've got to give it x. a question and i have enough time for everybody to say something clear and get their points across but a lot of times we we really want to you know these people apart in a little bit of time that we had that you just really can't because it's a debate it's not a it's not a spotlight one want to show you want to show you guys these numbers as well when we talk about you know police recruitment falling you know get away from the theatrical politics and get to some things that actually do matter beyond just the circus but when you look at the raw numbers across the united states right now you can see raw numbers of police officers in the u.s. declined from over 724020132 now just 700-020-1666 percent of police departments are seeing a decline in applications for the jobs the f.b.i. even saw special agent applicants plummeting from 68502002 only 11502018 i want to ask you guys we'll start with you but what what do you make of

these numbers are we seeing these jobs no one wants to be in law enforcement anymore. i think the it's a tough job to be in the 1st place i don't think being a law enforcement ever been an easy job regardless of how you fill out police officers it's a difficult job to be and but because of the current climate we're in and because of the abuse of that job because let's face it it's been abused by a lot of people for a very long time that has become public so it's a job that doesn't carry the same kind of on or that it once did and let's face it i actually blame the municipalities more than anybody for the reason that police are in the position they're in yes there are some bad cops out there but policing as a whole has really become a product of taxation without representation it's become a way of squeezing communities through fines and fees and those are very unpopular people most people when they see a police officer and i don't just mean people of color i mean every citizen in the country the majority of people when they see if a police car or

a police officer feel that tightening inside of their gut because they're afraid they're going to get a ticket for something they going to get fined for something they're going to be in trouble for something instead of seen it as somebody who's there truly to protect and serve so i think it's always been a tough job it's much tougher and one way municipalities could help with this is to say let's stop filling the line items in our budgets through police instituting fines and fees and put them on the side of the public again instead of against them you know it's interesting you say that about the taxation element of it too that it's kind of like you know the government's hand of put all these fees and things like that are you seeing that this idea of a think it's like after 6 witnessing everything with black lives matter video after video after video and everything that we've seen along with our treatment of officers are you know is it a case of just you know use people coming up don't want to be cops they don't want the job they don't respect the job they don't they don't want to be a part of our community it's like the only profession our country where you get rewarded for doing a bad job and i'm talking about stats based everest's you know it used to get you

can walk up 30 people with maybe 20 of those 10 of those people may have done crimes then of 20 were probably like here anything else but you still look like it's a. on crime you get a promotion you can be very serious and you get celebrated you can be a horrible person and people will call you a hero now that people are starting to crack down and film them in air to dirty laundry people don't really want to be a part of the profession so i'm i definitely understand a lot of numbers are down but to out of the if you just did your job and. you know it's easy easy as it is to be a great person if you did that then he would have to worry about you go be a cop and make a great salary with benefits and retire from the education and you know d. we were talking about this actually earlier is that you know you see sometimes these viral videos of these cops doing good things in their neighborhood but it's simply somebody playing basketball with some kids who are younger or whatever trying to prove that they're not you know a threat to the community but the fact is we don't see there are a lot of good cops what 95 percent of our likely doing

a good job are actually serving the community properly but you don't see that on your local news you know especially don't see that on the national news and so yes i think there is an issue where black lives matter you know we can bring up talent happening making this a huge issue and widespread there has been this whole thought of cops are systematically bhatt and therefore i would want to be a part of the the police organizations and that's kind of where they are right now i got to thank all you guys for coming out in these great conversations i'll leave the police thought with just this thought is that maybe with less numbers it might be easier to actually start reforming them you know in a sense to ban swan i want to thank you for coming on d. watkins brant you were always a pleasure having everybody on great great discussion today thank you all right everybody that is our show for you today remember everyone in this world told the world of the wall i am tyrrel to keep on watching those hawks up there and have a great.
