10:30 am
wouldn't we. be. welcome on the watching dark side i'm tyrrell been and. so here we are finally yes . to a place where. they're taking response. now the kind of maybe sort of hasn't even started maybe i don't know. is the good word for this you know it's interesting because the settlement deal requires produce to file for bankruptcy and dissolve but does not require them to admit to any wrongdoing whatsoever none a new company would form from the best solution of purdue and it would continue to sell oxy cotton but the sales revenue would go to the plaintiffs these many states and the all these people filing today as a multiple tariff. and the company would also donate drugs for addiction and
10:31 am
overdose treatment so that's kind of where all that sits and not a lot of these states are playing ball new york connecticut and a few others are saying we're not going to be part of the settlement we're right because we're we feel that it didn't go far enough it didn't go strong enough it didn't truly hit them hard no and that's what especially the new york attorney general i mean that's what you have to look at and she's not the only a.g. in the country that has found that they were doing this you said they're sort of squirreling away money so part of what it was is the settlement and the bankruptcy filing come just 2 days just today is after the announcement that the new york a.g.'s office had uncovered almost just almost in just over a $1000000000.00 worth of wire transfers from her due to private accounts bank accounts owned by mortimer's that mortimer. he doesn't he could go either way with that if it weren't for those durn kids who
10:32 am
doesn't have a brother i know but he does sound like a like a scooby doo. so this isn't the only one there was a number in states like ohio where they had found that subsidiaries and multiple shell company s. of per day or at the door the sackler family had been putting money through swiss bank accounts and you know anybody who has a skate bank account is totally on the up and always you can trust them completely so they're kind of saying this idea that purdue had all these shell companies that they're hiding money and that's why they're doing this now is so that they actually do have billions have no way and they won't really lose anything and there'd be no personal personal effect for for the people that were spreading that as a grow addiction around the world that is incredible i mean i'm out there and it's illegal you can't you can't move money blood to hide money that's wildly illegal but a spokesperson for. mortimer sackler or buddy mortimer denied any wrongdoing by family
10:33 am
and told the media quote gore's ready this is a cynical attempt by a hostile address attorney general's office to generate debate amatory blind's to try to torpedo a mutually beneficial settlement that is supported by of so many other states and would result in billions of dollars going to communities and to individuals across the country that need help billions like the software from. and i'm sure the agio is a rural hospital. their whole office and everyone in there and i bet all those states are law and cynical toward the oh my god you're so cynical you can show us billions of dollars lives wasted families destroyed all because the so the sac lawyers could have a few 100 extra $1000000.00. that's really what it was over i'm sorry for cynical and we're a little we're a little hostile towards you and your family mortimer i mean at the end of the day you've destroyed some was a because you weren't alone there was
10:34 am
a lot of other big brother this is not appropriate about going into places like india and china they went into china and tried to sell opioids addicted addictive opioids to the elderly. if that alone doesn't get you like a hostile oh no that you are at the end of hostile. and out of that i don't know if this is going to be the end of the secular family i feel like i feel like one of the stories this is going to keep going on and on and probably well. in 1958 the united auto workers union was called quote more dangerous than sputnik or anything soviet russia might do by barry goldwater when they dared to suggest the idea of profit sharing in the auto manufacturing business at the time journalist mike wallace even argued that auto industry executives deserve their exorbitant salaries and bonuses because they bear the red and they run the company while unionized worser workers asking for profit sharing was an accidental threat
10:35 am
to the free market system here is then u.a.w. president walter walter ruther a serious response to mike wallace well you'd have a very difficult job convincing ford workers and chrysler workers and general motors workers who are unemployed that they don't risk anything but they don't suffer a loss when the company's in band in bad condition they also suffer but here's the thing you need to understand that this principle is being applied in seward in general motors in chrysler's the executives are carrying in the profits now they're not sharing in the profits as stockholders they're sharing in the profits as employees because they run the company but they're still employees they're high paid employees. over 60 years later at 11 59 pm on sunday september 15th 2019 nearly 50000 members of the united auto workers union went on strike shutting down some 33 manufacturing plants and 22 parts distribution warehouses from
10:36 am
michigan to texas. and profit sharing low wages and exorbitant c.e.o. salaries are at the core once again joining us now from more on the story is r t america correspondent ferran fraud sack thank you for having me on welfare and well this is a home it's amazing to see problems you know of yesterday still front and center in problems today and so i'm very curious you know we saw the clip mentioning the c.e.o. and things of that nature of what does the c.e.o. of general motors make these days and is there a plan for both sides to come to the bargaining table in this situation so we want to pay the price is right game to figure out how much the c.e.o. mary barra makes its way ok so will she is one of the top 20 highest paid c.e.o.'s and publicist let's just take a guess per year. 10000000. i'm going to go with a cool 30. all right so kind of right in between both of that she makes $21000000.00 she made 21000000 last year and 2 years ago before that she made
10:37 am
another $21000000.00 that that now g.m. made 8000000000 dollars last year and that's kind of what's coming to a head with this so workers really want to piece of that pie especially since if you remember back in 2014 there was the major auto bailout where g.m. was given $11200000000.00 to fix itself those workers stayed and they helped that company come back up to where it is now and so again the talks were scheduled for today starting at 10 am everyone's been following this but this you know kind of workers are trying to really hope that this is going to help because the last time this ever happened it was a 2 day walkout 2007 that was like shooting darts at a tank really did not then and workers they are trying to they are planning to see this all the way till the end until they get exactly what they want it's interesting because this this strike is very similar and what's happening is it
10:38 am
almost word for word on exactly what happened in $1058.00 and what happened multiple times in the sixty's seventy's and some of us remember in the eighty's there was even you know these these auto workers strikes and i think there's something really interesting about the fact that they they they took they didn't get raises they didn't get extra things they didn't get the things they had worked for were promised under that guise of we'll take a little less so the companies stays going tell me what is it that the united auto workers are actually asking for so the workers they want and you will pay raises for financial security in case the economy were to see a downturn at all or a recession they want better health care they want safer working conditions because g.m. has to update a lot of their plants especially now since they're going to be introducing on the line of electric cars and things need to be updated for their secure for their safety and security they want jobs for workers who are going to be who are working at the 4 plants right now that are set to close they want them to. come back with jobs for them and they also this was interesting they want temporary workers to be
10:39 am
made permanent workers because employees said that they had some of them work temp workers for years at a time when even being 3 years and you know one of the picketers was saying earlier today you know if you need them for more than 2 years they're employed you know now g.m. this is what they're offering they're offering 7000000000 dollars worth of those u.s. factory investments higher profit sharing better health benefits and $8000.00 paid to each worker once that contract is signed but again right now both sides are at a standstill who knows when each are going to come to an agreement the thing is very fascinating and it's also interesting when you hear that ok we'll give you a 1000 per worker like a bribe saying hey just stay off the picket lines come back to work because a $1000.00 at the end of those quick money that's not really going to solve long term problems for these workers and it sounds like the workers are saying we need a long term solutions and long term employment and that kind of thing that's very fascinating and like i said this happens over and over and over again and so we'll see what happens now and we've got so many unions get crushed over the last you
10:40 am
know 6 years and collective bargaining to be something that's just ripped out of the hands of everyone from public employees to people like the auto workers union who tape who who does they stand where they take less pay they take these things when when companies are doing bad in order because they care and they care about the whole industry and what's also interesting is this is a 4 year contract what we have every 4 years we have an election interesting exactly and that's going to i'm going out earlier just work out a deal guys to get it done. for a big you so much for coming and thanks very great work thank you so much. all right as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics with covered over social media be sure to check out watching the hawks the podcast which is now available on spotify outfielders and everywhere doing this in the podcast coming up saudi arabia is on fire which must mean the white house is once again gunning for. the star. u.s. foreign policy a former pentagon senior security policy analyst michael maloof georges to discuss
10:41 am
all the states who want to. be. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision little sheltered lives every thing came to a complete. the day that i was right to be instructed you know told to shut up or they'd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life many screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my arm and he write me with his berthing area if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is
10:42 am
a very very traumatizing thing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's man or woman. one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me that he's yet to shape out his day become educated and gain from an equal to trail. one song they may find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground.
10:43 am
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 faithfully implemented for inside venezuela things look different we're going to announce sanctions against the troll venezuela socio. political moment. that person. data to see on the people that the moment the focus of the who story isn't new makes him cold in henry kissinger to tell him. not be tolerated in latin america. an alternative economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make. economy scream so wants now making the economy of
10:44 am
venezuela screed. saudi arabia's biggest oil producing facility was attacked over the weekend and now the trump administration is all in behind iran being the culprit r.t. america correspondent rachel blevins is at the white house with the story. well new report citing u.s. intelligence officials claim that the drone attack on the world's largest oil processing facilities in saudi arabia came from iran and president trump is now saying that he's ready to respond he took to twitter where he wrote quote there is reason to believe that we know the culprit are locked and loaded depending on
10:45 am
verification but are waiting to hear from making them as to who they believe was the cause of the attack and under what terms we would perceive now saudi arabia has confirmed that the drone attacks on their facilities did halt oil production by more than 50 percent and was from did not initially name the suspected culprit secretary of state mike pompei it was quick to place the blame on a wrong he also took to twitter where he wrote quote we call on all nations to publicly and unequivocally condemn iran's attacks the united states will work with our partners and allies to ensure that energy markets remain well supplied and iran is held accountable for its aggression but iran is denying all accusations about these attacks and the country's foreign minister is instead alleging that the united states has delegate its maximum pressure campaign and so now it's turning to a campaign of maximum deceit a spokesperson for iran spoke out and he says that there is no actual proof the country was behind the attacks take
10:46 am
a listen to what he had to say just very vocal as the countries that are dependent on. those that take advantage of the sit. we should make such comments to reassure themselves to feel secure that they can move ahead with such comments or can only say. however if the rebels then have claimed responsibility for those attacks and all intelligence officials are saying that the drone strikes did not come from yemen the united states does have a history of criticizing braun's ties to the now the us has also assisted saudi arabia in a brutal deadly campaign in yemen which they claim is targeting these but that has also created the world worst humanitarian crisis over the last 4 years now this all comes as president trump is meeting with the crown prince of bahrain here in washington d.c. today they say that in this meeting they are scheduled to talk about topics that include maritime security countering press from abroad efforts to promote peace in
10:47 am
the region and counter terrorism now it is not clear exactly how the united states plans to respond to these attacks but republican senator lindsey graham is already calling for a military force against iran and trump claims that he is waiting for verification from saudi arabia in order to decide how to proceed has received backlash and criticism from independent congressman just in a marsh who responded by noting that under the u.s. constitution quote the power to commence war allies with congress not the president and certainly not saudi arabia we don't take orders from foreign powers no i was just last week the president announced he was parting ways with his national security advisor john bolton and that created some hope that maybe the united states would embark on a path of easing tensions with iran but the troubled ministrations of the latest quest to blame a run for these attacks already has sent both fears and oil prices soaring.
10:48 am
joining us today to discuss the implications of these last few days of fire in the middle east is author and former senior security policy analyst in the office of the secretary of defense michael maloof thanks for joining us thanks for having me yeah but always a pleasure i mean i think 1st the biggest question i have coming out of all this is do you believe in looking at in your analysis of these events do you believe in what the administration is saying is iran behind this i think it's going to be difficult to show. for one reason even though they they claim that it was iran immediately where is the evidence i remember 2003 you iraq's w m d i was at the pentagon at the time was one of the few who said they don't have that and we should not be using that as a basis to go to war well that took care of that we know the rest is history but. they would have produced the intelligence we have we absolutely light up that country and we would have had some indication to go public to say this is what they
10:49 am
have done from this from this area that hasn't been forthcoming i haven't seen it now but who these have that capability even though even though no one wants to believe them. i'm going to say you don't want to believe that these very vests and besides it's their country in the yemen that's been attacked by the saudis and i might also point out who these have a history of being able to hit the saudis they had a pipeline about a month or so ago so they have that capability now the other thing is that iran is in the east but now experts are saying that the attacks seem to come from the west or from the northwest while something wrong with this picture so i think i think the president and also the president has made some interesting comments he's he's still waiting for verification from the saudis and that's what we want to check out here because 1st
10:50 am
a couple of interesting things happened in the land as much as i hate i want to hire about social media but now send. a policy happens is one of the things he said in response to it trump had tweeted out that we the united states are locked and loaded depending on verification but are waiting to hear from the king as to who they believe was the cause of this attack that matter what terms that made a lot of people really angry and a lot of people pointing out it sounds like he is subservient it's a weird thing for a leader at any point in history to say something like that is are an intelligent if i have any after 2003 and begin i would question that as well but you are but you don't rely on the saudis i might also point out we don't have a defense arrangement with the saudis not going to give them up is basically saying you know it's. really up to the saudis to deal with this problem. but they could ultimately drag us in indirectly but you know we obviously didn't
10:51 am
sell them the right equipment to deal with these drones right so it was interesting because also presidential candidate gabbert also went so far as to tweet that trump awaits instructions from a saudi masters having our country act as saudi arabia's. x. whatever it is not america 1st so while the anger is righteous it's not only. how. issue is she right to point that out we are seeing are of course we are not we should not be they are doing this kind of thing now and the iranians. have vehemently denied but also the indications the indicators are showing it may not have been them now they may have you know they may have provided some of the technologies and know how over time but we do that for everybody else as well. blowback in terms of how they're concerned to give x.
10:52 am
amount of weapons or knowledge this is not something to fall on our sword the american people will not support it and. there are calls in congress now that if the president is to launch anything he better come to congress for and we have to remember too is a we have this weird relationship with saudi america in you know we also from number 2 right now there's lawsuits pending over their potential role in 911 the end of the big suddenly and there is a question about why those pages were redacted specifically and then the there's the kingdom and so when you suddenly have fought against an honor to want to go and did anybody get the memo. no because it's all dollars it all has to do with dollars and at that time it had to do with oil now and and they of course are a great market for our weapons programs very true very true a lot of our weapons so i just hope that trump is just calms down
10:53 am
he should be listening to the chinese and to the others who are saying take a breath and he needs to do that because this is not something to go to war and now i do recall back in during the reagan years there was some limited response when we knocked out some platforms in the gulf so i wouldn't rule that out as a possibility but who's going to do it the saudis they you know given their record in yemen. yeah you know. having to try and i think that if the saudis did react then then the iranians may just take off and they i think within 48 hours they could bring to their knees really when it left can cooler heads prevail we have john holes in it and everything and i think i think they will we get the you when meeting this man we're not going to do any attacks during the u.n. not u.n. general assembly you know gosh that no no no. and i still think what is prevailing
10:54 am
in all this is that indeed wants to meet with rouhani even if it's to have a cup of coffee just to try and get something some dialogue going i like to see that happen because there is an opportunity for us to start back channels for coming to a much greater preschool resolution. and dealing dealing with the iranians they're great people they're wonderful people that we do we just have to learn to live with them and in this in the same pool on the same planet but but thanks to the near turns they have absolutely poisoned the water that was there as well and so as we think about people's leaders not the people for russia i had to go with them as like this so all of us people must be and around it so is the uterus and ovaries we've got about the people we forgot about that they're wonderful for well i got to say thank you so much for coming was always a pleasure having you of my calling you thank you. sam from university researcher
