from california governor gavin newsome to san francisco mayor one didn't read many rightly called one trump's remarks. at the same time forgetting that those in glass houses should never throw stones let's find out why as we start watching the hawks . but if you treat this like real that would. put a lot of. what they like you know that i got. with. this. well we're going to watchdogs i am tyrrel been for them to happen a lot less for a boy of what let's talk chris i used to live i've lived in los angeles the idea that it's you know the press 2 years i. i'll tell you in the 10 cities got bigger
1:31 am
i'll tell you when that happened that's when the economy went belly up. like there was already a problem they were working on it as much as they could but after 2008 you had whole families moving into tents and you saw the movie where but that got crushed under the table and it's like well if you didn't do anything about that situation then if you didn't look at development. then don't don't act surprised though that surprised don't don't throw the stones i mean donald is that statement was callous like yours and i just had heard about this prestige of the i mean they're just human beings let's not let's not get all you know pollyanna about their interest you know human beings but. it's such a good one but it's interesting because the response of traumas read san francisco bay or london bridge stated that simply cracking down on homelessness without providing the housing people need is not a real solution and. the mayor is right but according to
1:32 am
a survey in san francisco homelessness by chris herren ph d. candidate of the university of california berkeley 70 percent of the schools homeless have been forced to move by and by a police officer 69 percent have been cited by a police officer 46 percent of their terms or other belongings complicated by city workers he went on to point out that only 12 percent reported that they'd been offered services and even less than 5 percent tab so that they actually were offered a shelter with a bed to go to war i've always criminalize being poor yes we have on every level i mean somebody has a debt they've got cops showing up at their door you have someone who is homeless to through any number of situations that you may or may not know and understand is forced to be in this situation to be living in their car to be living in a tent city doing this and some people don't even have that much and that's the thing to criminalize a you've made it a crime to be poor. and that's the part that no matter what you do you're going to have this cycle of people throwing money at certain things and putting people in
1:33 am
jail and then going i just don't know why this keeps happening except the policy obviously when at the university of california berkeley. there a law school found that california cities each have an average of more than 10 anti homeless nyssa laws. like los angeles has 17 san francisco has 24 and these are just normal law understand like there's already laws already things on the book books about certain things that ing going to the bathroom and public sorts of things are happening but what they're doing is making it so you can't sleep in your car you can't do this you can't do this and it comes out of this idea that you litigate the streets and then somehow if you if you put these people in jail or you scare them enough they'll stop sleeping on the streets i'm not sure how that works. as a sister. logic i'm just not seeing the end being anything that's close to what it
1:34 am
supposed to be in san francisco again more than half of the $10.00 to $15000.00 citations that were given out for home given to homeless people each year which said it's setting camping loitering they're not going to get paid you're policing for profit on an entire swath of the population that literally has no money. like you can shake the change out of them but you're not going to get it so the ideas will make this money and then nothing will pay for homelessness by. so that of course they can't pay it whichever knows you can't pay it then they get arrested then they get a warrant then they get suspension if they do have a driver's license it suddenly puts up a bunch of barriers for them to get out of the place there and there's no bootstraps for anybody to pick themselves up because what the city's done is cut them off at the bootstraps and said well you're stuck now bad person you're a failure as a human in the trumpet ministrations report on this they actually make make it the
1:35 am
idea that well you know we have to be careful building new shelters because that may incentivize people to you go to shelters rather than paying rent at some point . no you don't want to live in a shelter you know didn't want to be homeless oh you didn't know that it's the coolest thing to do to go hang out at shelters. specially home. both sides of the political hours this. before occupy wall street there was occupy general motors for 44 days from 103621037 over 100000 members of the then rookie united auto workers union supported the sit in strike of the flint general motors plant the national guard was brought in tear gas was shot into the plant and at least 14 strikers were shot with guns during the standoff but in the end the union brought the largest automaker in america at the time during the great depression to its knees and that one strike changed the course of u.s. history. unions are probably jurors so much security and freedom and because it
1:36 am
isn't easy even to recall the parable the person that came to an end with the winning that this is the tribe. will made a middle class we could have decent food we could live in a decent place. where decent clothes. and on september 15th the u.a.w. once again called for a strike that now has over 45000 workers picketing the auto giant and the days following the strikes kickoff general motors has stopped paying their share of health benefits for employees and are pushing the cost onto the union and what many are calling leverage against the strike however it isn't stopping workers who are now seeing temporary nonunion workers often called scabs brought in to plant and threats of arrest here is u.a.w. member shawn crawford with a view from the flint michigan picket lines over a decade after the historic flint said in. everybody who's be showing your support
1:37 am
we appreciate it. they're talking about possibly arresting picketers right now for blocking traffic and preventing scabs from coming in the plan to truck assembly. joining us now for the latest on the u. a w g m strike is r t america correspondent karen thanks for joining me here a lot has happened since i was here on monday right it's incredible how much you know what's taken place last $40.00 just up on this i'm actually a bit of a question is how much could this end up costing general border motors how much could this strike cost them when you know they've also reported general motors reported that they've made over $10000000000.00 in profits last year right so actually it's just coming down that the strike it is slowing down production and actually g.m. canada is going to be temporarily temporarily laying off $1200.00 employees at the plant and ontario now canadian workers there they're a part of a different union so they're not striking there so they kind of have a little bit of a break but after day 3 production losses they're looking at $23000.00 vehicles by
1:38 am
the end of this week it could be up to $43000.00 but when it comes to money it's estimated that they're losing $50.00 to a 100000000 per day now because we had we had a graph where we were showing the last strike in 2007 it lost $23000000.00 g.m. again if we're going to the conservative route with 5xw1c5xw by the end of today 350000000 by next monday 700000002 weeks from now now one of the longest strikes it was actually covered by an r t photojournalist here was back in 1988 were 9000 workers went on strike for 54 days g.m. lost 2000000000 that that's like yahoo c.e.o. salaries you're right that is one of the board. or one. it's interesting to see how much you know stuff is stranger looking for me 80 some odd years later or since the 90. yes how that's changed and the amount of money and
1:39 am
that's why strikes are so effective a lot of times of getting something because you know if all it is is the bottom line then there's something and there's that whole thing now there was something else about this story that isn't getting as much attention as the strike itself so some u.a.w. executives and some general motors executives are under investigation for embezzlement among other things what's going on with that so how does noticed how the president the current one hasn't been in the press at all ghosted ghost is busy and drinks and donuts in the back sort of or he might be kind of just sitting on his couch while the f.b.i. raids this home that to. happen again on august 28th the home of president. gary jones rape his home was raided by the f.b.i. in detroit they seized a golf clubs and $30000.00 in cash allegedly he was staying in luxury hotels golf
1:40 am
outings steak dinners with champagne and cigars something we could all use living a very lavish lifestyle allegedly also on that same day out in california it was the former president dennis williams now as this is all going on ok the top u.a.w. official who's actually been at the bargaining table in detroit vance peter humi vance pearson he is going to court later this week down in missouri on money laundering charges so there are federal prosecutors they're charging him with helping orchestrate the embezzlement of more than a $1000000.00 in member dues as this is all going on and you have a lot of u.a.w. other officials and chrysler officials that were all found guilty this isn't even the 1st one this is after a fact here they are terry jones took over. or the other guy because of that yes you have ones that were you know indicted on one conspiracy federal tax crimes
1:41 am
misleading tax returns accepting money you know trying to cover and trying to hide all of this the most that it's former fia chrysler vice president he's going to jail for 5 and a half years there is actually one in january he's being sentenced on the bottom one my crimes he is could be facing 5 years and federal prison so there's a lot here we're going to have to keep an eye on this and i will say it's interesting if you start to say the automakers side now coming together and find out there's some shady business. we're digging into that one thank you so much for walking us through this there and thanks for having me thank you. or it is going to be a court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the proper coverage of the social media be sure to trick or watching the hawks the pod cast will be able to spot a photo with you everywhere you look your paper pod coming up we'll begin to the latest results from the elections of israel to see who will be assuming the
1:42 am
position of prime minister and what the latest election means for the people of israel and the support of the people powered by its author to go from there to watch. the exit from. countries accumulate big positions and go that's an exit. because we know that over the past 300 years no body has survived. for serious conflict mediation never has spoken with one. voice but recently disagreement between russia turkey and iran has become so still look good not even
1:43 am
the leaders try to hide it as the program run its course or is the friction really a sign that it's working. out a huge deal he's. yelling she don't. go away. with . those laws on the course and i recall no calls when he does it's always you know the false sort or just dr scott you can still be chummy. with most of them someone not so most of the losses lots and lots you know something to come out it should not have been you were the condition of salted i'm you seize on that you know found a soft spot don't have to be down to this time i don't tough.
1:44 am
1:45 am
things might be looking at tad bleak for the continued reign of benjamin netanyahu as prime minister of israel watchers after an eventful election day on tuesday that saw both netanyahu likud party and the party of his main rival former israel army chief of staff benny gantz come to a dead heat now according to n.b.c. news netanyahu on wednesday canceled a visit to the united nations general assembly in new york amid political uncertainty in israel while both parties appeared to have fallen short of the 61 seats needed to form a governing coalition in the 120 seat israeli parliament against will and why party
1:46 am
has a 32 to 31 seat edge on that new yahoo which could give gantz an opportunity to form a coalition with other pub little parties in order to reach the 61 see goal for netanyahu with potential indictments on corruption charges hanging over his head losing the prime minister's seat would not just remove him from political power but it could also set him on a collision course with israeli law enforcement there is a lot to unpack and joining us now to help us better understand the political impact of this election and what it's outcome means for both the israeli and palestinian people is israeli peace activist and author of the general some thank you so much for joining us and i just thank you both you know i have to ask you looking at these election results where were they were does netanyahu stand today and i think the big question is you know are we going to see this guy continue to be prime minister of israel is that there's a good word is all the standard out of this study. well i think there are 2 issues here there's the gossip and then there's the reality so the reality is 2 and
1:47 am
a half 1000000 people living in gaza without water food or or access to medical care 30 minute drive from to the favor of people hanging on the beach and having fun. that's the reality 3000000 people in the west bank in the similar conditions and these 5000000 people were left out of this election in other words they don't get to participate in their lives will be affected by the next government and all these are the governments. the gossip part is yes and you know maybe on his way out i doubt it he's the better horse trainer he knows how to negotiate he's got more experience than anyone. so my guess is he's not going away any time soon and they still have the absentee ballots in last on the absentee ballots made made quite a difference to the want to see that he needed. i think i think we focus too much we tend to focus too much on the gossip because it's kind of you know it's kind of fun but the reality is that for the palestinians who are living under this oppressive brutal regime for 7 decades very little is going to change we did see an
1:48 am
increase in the number of seats that the joint list which is a primarily palestinian list of political parties were present israeli palestinian israeli citizens. but then again they are such just such a minority that even if they had double the number of seats they still would be completely ignored so in other words a very even even if they even if they do have a larger presentation as perhaps they should nobody needs to pay attention to them because out of a 120 see if the government has a majority they can completely ignore them and they will continue to ignore them. there are some issues that i saw online as people saying you know this would be the moment. you know perhaps being the 1st country to sort of poll vote out a authoritarian like regime or authoritarian like structure it's like could israel be that democracy that shows the rest of the world that you. don't have to live in these so you don't have to have
1:49 am
a horse trader is really into it what do you think politically that means for the mentally like if. if they do start to say we're not going toward netanyahu goal and that they actually do start opening this up what could that mean for the middle east at least well nothing whatsoever because on the main issues and ideologically there's no absolutely no difference between any of the major players you know benny gantz was army chief of staff he was bombing and killing people in gaza and he was working for that and yeah so in other words when these when the when the when the trials begin at the hague for these guys are going to be sitting on the bench right next to each other and defendants been right next to each other because they're both guilty of the same crimes you know and i mean that's and you know gave the orders and guns pulled the trigger if you will but there's no difference on the issue of palestine there's not going to be a difference on the issue of the fate of palestinians there won't be any issue and the apartheid regime which allows for democracy for an israeli jew and keep out of the democratic process if you're a palestinian that's not going to change whatsoever because none of the major
1:50 am
political parties want that to change they all subscribe to that same that same racist brutal regime you know it's interesting when we talk about but it gives because you know when you hear of the news articles about him or about his campaign you know the kind of campaign trail promises a rhetoric or whatever you want to say you know you always say you know he's saying oh you know he's he's running on social harmony he's running on pursuing peace with palestine you know is that is it really just about his or is it really just kind of a campaign lip service but you know we're going to see if you can be able to white women out and become prime minister it's all that service he said he will he has no problem sitting in a coalition with the likud party only doesn't on its own the out there so in other words ideologically there's or we know there's no difference he tends to be a little more forceful when it comes to dealing with the orthodox communities that these are the orthodox. communities and things like that but these are these are really cosmetic differences on the. major issues are quite happy to sit together
1:51 am
and i would ask you know we heard the news and you know it was not coming to the u.n. jay that's because on that day the president of the state of israel which is really a symbolic figure but he has one job and that is he gets the results and he calls on the 1st person to try to put together the government the coalition government and that is the same day so that's a you know wants to be there you don't want to be absent when the president gets the list and picks up the phone and hoping he's going to call him so that's why he's not coming but my guess is they're all going to hold hands in the end and say you know for the good of the country we all have to sit together because they didn't get into this to be the opposition they want to see to the table and they want to have you know they want their influence on policy. it's sort of it's interesting because you look at this same thing where you know in the united states where congress is everything it sat out is that you can have a president who doesn't have the power of congress which you know he doesn't have the ability to make something happen and that you essentially have a system that set up for obstruction how does that if that different how hard would
1:52 am
it is it going to be to crack israeli politics in a more progressive way to open it up so that palestinians can see that we can move toward that and i know that's a really big question like how do we fix everything well i wear that i wear the badge for a reason it says boycott divestment and sanctions i think a call the palestinian call for boycott divestment and sanctions is precisely how we do it when the state of israel like apartheid south africa has no choices no where to go can't participate in the olympics is not invited to participate and the any international. events the israelis boycott it sanctions are imposed on israel and they have nowhere to go then the reflection will begin and then they will open up they're not going to open up all entirely and in fact the rhetoric leading up to this election and the previous election it was a rush to the right i mean everybody had to prove that they are with the more right wing than that guy and if they wanted to put somebody down they said. well that guy is a leftist you know they said that that he out was
1:53 am
a leftist i mean it was that absurd because people wanted to show that he that they are you know even more to the right than him so there's no there's no signs of anybody wanting to open up there's no nobody talks about the palestinians you know nobody talks about them other than saying we need to bomb them we need to kill them we need to stop their. taking away jewish lands and stealing jewish water you know and so that's that's that's the discourse so i think it would take it would take a serious you know the boycott divestment sanction campaign. for the world to take it seriously and then i think there are great to be a great hope for israelis and palestinians you know from the outside looking in it's sometimes hard you know i've never traveled to israel or or whole story and one of the things that's interesting to them i think a lot of people be curious about who is never could have been so there is there is there any push to help our starting from within the israel community it's not being represented in the politics well here's the here's the conundrum the. the joint list which is made up of primarily palestinian citizens of israel. they
1:54 am
cannot run on a platform that calls for a real democracy with equal rights for everyone because that will disqualify them one of the list has in his platform a call for all of these really citizens to be treated equally and even that was cause for them recalls for them to be disqualified for that just among the israeli citizens include the palestinians and treat them as israelis and they almost were disqualified because of that so there is no call for that i mean other than on the very very fringe there is no interest whatsoever in that kind of an inclusion well at this point well how i mean i hope as we see it that's the sort of last gasp of a vessel around the world and i think we are starting to see that little bit little bit little bit and it's not enough but one day it'll be what i thought i think i think stopping the congressional. gauging from entering israel has harmed it to
1:55 am
a point where i think you're right i think that is precisely what's going to help me go i gotta say thank you so much for coming on the legislature having interviewed you so much. when men go from bavaria kicked off this year's schnitzel festival they had but one concern dominating their minds one the biggest metal in the world 60 we answer was. the world's largest metal as certified by the guinness work broke of world records so gargantuan 400 pork chops 4000 eggs and close to 551 pounds of bread crumbs fried in over 3700 gallons of oil 40 gas burners gave the heat needed to properly cook the seventy's square meter masterpiece that weighed $2663.00 pounds or more than a ton sold for 5 year as a portion the schnitzel sold out with the proceeds going to charity hears so many coffins but of area for making the world's largest net so not
1:56 am
a sausage this is there is no worse it's. worse through say worst w u r s t i were so many. that's incredible 2600 pounds schnitzel that's a lot of. that if you have a lot of schnitzel that is a lot of good for them and they all went to charity it went on to charity ok so there is still some good hope in the world thankfully thankfully. didn't sitting down and i mean when you see the big thing above it it's weird that if there goes there was a feat of engineering wow look at that sea of engineering will and phone calls. so brow. that is are so for you today remember everyone in this world we are not told that we are loved in the flesh tell you all i love i am tired of having the law keep on watching all those hawks out there have a great. pain
1:57 am
years and crosstalk started 10 years i think it's time to shake things up maybe change the branding maybe the format here is what i've been thinking about next season related episodes filmed on an island 10 experts fight it out for a trophy what do you think ok a more affordable option $25.00 text birds. and one red rose another suggestion political jeopardy no political cookout where we will literally. be elites. late night show it's a rare format piece based on its chief all you need is an old microphone in a printed banner. to leave me with i guess i can do this campbell after
1:58 am
politics gone wild like music. ok crosstalk is not about hype it's about meaning 10 years of talk and still going strong. peter if you want to change something why don't we get rid of the bow tie you know that is too much. bad guys or financial survival guide liquid does that you can convert music that's quite easily. to keep in mind though as to to me into a place of. work. a process for constructing this was to. in the land of degradable

scaffold which is poor and when this is insurgent beneath the skin when the skin is suctioned over the sky over a period of about 6 months you have to shoot in growth and invest in occurring in other words the cells in you'll in your body grow into the sky it grows its own blood supply and now this is fully integrated as part of.
