greetings and salutations on october 9th of $21000.00 documents unsealed by the office of the director of intelligence revealed that employees of the federal bureau of investigation had an appropriately use data collected under section 702 of the foreign intelligence surveillance act known as pfizer the f.b.i. was found to have misused surveillance data to look into american residence including other f.b.i. employees and their family members making large scale queries that did not distinguish between u.s. persons and foreign intelligence targets in a statement hours technica a.c.l.u. senior legislative council member saying giuliani said the government should not be able to spy on our calls and e-mails without a warrant any surveillance legislation. considered by congress this year must

include reforms that address the disturbing abuses detailed in these opinions and on november 6th 2019 the senate judiciary committee conducted hearings on the reauthorization of the 2015 usa freedom act which reform section $215.00 of the patriot act in order to outlaw the nationwide bulk data collection of telephone metadata however while there is still an inordinate level of support for the patriot act on capitol hill many are questioning by congress is being asked to reauthorize and fund the call detail records or c.v.r. program that was closed down by the n.s.a. this august due to poor performance senator dianne feinstein of california question this despite this the administration is asking congress to permanently this program now it's really not clear to me why a program with limited intelligence value and clear compliance problems should be
8:33 pm
reauthorized and national security agency official susan moore and explains the brilliant and as they position and this is decision to suspend the c.v.r. program does not mean that congress should allow the c.v.r. to expire rather that decision shows that the executive branch is a responsible steward of the authority congress affords it as technology changes our adversaries trade craft and communication habits continue to evolve and adapt in light of this dynamic environment and i say supports reauthorization of the c.d.r. provision so that the government will retain this potentially valuable tool should it prove useful in the future so that the program that doesn't work. yeah the upside down is right side up and on it's head today on capitol hill so let's stop making excuses and start watching the hogs.
8:34 pm
cutting. the playing field with this one. from the bottom. of the day like you i've got to put up with. this. welcome everybody watching hockey and have a policy joining me from new york help us understand why he and telegenic community comes off so darn dumb sometimes legal and media analyst why no of lying own media how you do an. excellent still feeling the sting of the last sentence to have the where you said our government said we're going to continue with this program should it ever be shown to us that it's useful now think
8:35 pm
about that i'm going to continue you on this medication which might be very dangerous deleterious with serious side effects. india event you may develop a symptom that actually works well with this type of medication i mean this. comes and makes sense right well why don't i want to play another clip for you so as the official says and morgan also explained at one point to senator patrick leahy why a program designed to catch terrorists shouldn't be measured on how many care terrorists think that this prevention of a terrorist attack is but one metric of programs value it's one factor so just to clarify that i'm not saying that that's not a valuable factor i'm just saying it's only one measure what should we gauge a terrorist catching program on my know while i go i do like that the efficacy of a program designed to catch terrorists should not be based on the efficacy of the
8:36 pm
program to catch terrorists it makes sense to me this is orwellian double speak may i also ask you to have a i understand the the trade craft of our enemies is so good would you please tell me why my aunt phebe's method day the is somehow connected to catching isis i understand that these distinct the trade craft in the war craft of these but we're talking about individual method data billions perhaps trillions of bits of data from every living human being probably on this earth put together it is huge vast to be able to be pulled out later called an colet did to see if they needed what do i have to do what do i have to do with the terrorist i don't and we sit there and we're become numb to this we just we just nod in this i
8:37 pm
mean is this not the most frightening may i suggest however that they just walk in and say listen is there any chance of this thing passing so i don't want to waste my time reading this i'll just submit this and go home. why are we pretending that anybody's even giving this a chance that you're really listening to this that you understand i mean even dianne feinstein's impassioned him. defense of this left me wanting no one seems all that excite what effect does that have on the fight to hold back the patriot act and colback those things about surveillance and really get that when every time they're asked to explain what they're doing and to be responsible for their own work aspect. of what they're doing i mean if you're going to catch terrorists the terrorists guts and machine and make sure the machines got fair as when every time they do this the fear mongers just come runnin what in fact says this how how does this help us why do you notice how wonderful english is i want to
8:38 pm
go back to that orwellian double speak we have here the freedom of. now the freedom and seeks to remove that portion of the patriot act which would have sunset id of variety of provisions which include i respectfully submit illegal surveillance of americans but the freedom is going to remove that provision which would end this that the patriot act remember it's about that there's another lionel rule there's an inverse proportionality to the sound of the statute and the dress code in the that it has on us for example no child left behind the freedom clean where there's always the better it sounds the worse it is but here's the thing if we were to go to times square not too far from here and stop thousands of people and say what is our method day that let's just talk about
8:39 pm
. what are we is that your phone call no is this somebody hearing oh oh ted was talking to or you know it's not that what is it it's measured data it's information which basically is the time the time which leads us later on does of the off do you think america even understands what we're talking about how are you and i as impassioned zealots of liberty how are we to convey this to people when we can't even explain what it is doing and then i mean that and people don't care if that's her problem yeah and that's and that's where we're at that here we are this many years later and you and i have a conversation we've had for a 1000. and we'll have it had it was good yes we will have it again thank you so much for inviting me today legal i mean i am the last line of light on media. thank you so much. in 1986 congress felt it necessary to enact a law to ban hospitals from turning away anyone who came into the emergency room
8:40 pm
and was unable to pay and a hospital with an emergency room that participated and federal health programs had to evaluate and stabilize every patient who walked through the door today homelessness is on the rise in america and while we ensure that almost everyone has some type of emergency room they can walk into we don't have a program that makes sure that everyone has a roof over their heads and a safe place to sleep but one doctor who's worked for 25 years in the health care industry is trying to change all that joining me now is r.t. america correspondent. let me get this straight is a health care company. is a health care company really going to pay for homeless people's housing i'm so confused by this and i don't know who to be angry at i don't it's one of these things where you know it's such a big issue right now in the 2020 election you have democrats and republicans saying you know health care is a right versus healthcare is a privilege it is amazing because this is going to be united health it's paying for this they made a lot of money from medicaid patients back last year in 2018 we're talking in the
8:41 pm
billions of dollars and that's where this money is actually going to be allocated to their housing the homeless believe it or not and it's one of these things that looking into this topic think a lot of people think that it's just any person who is uninsured that's walking into the emergency room no it's actually most of the bills that are being reported to these hospitals are because of homeless people and what's going on and it makes sense you don't have a roof over your head you're going to get a cold or you're going to you know they're more prone to getting you know hiv aids alcoholism you know pulmonary disease so it was actually interesting to see how again 5 percent of the population they call it super utilizers of the emergency room they make up for 50 percent of health care spending which is unbelievable when you think about it and how many of those people are homeless because of health care bills the. probably bankrupt and that's exactly the big circle here as you're as you're touching on and you know it this is but actually done at a number of different cities it's actually one of the 1st places that it was done
8:42 pm
was actually done in chicago my hometown and what they did is they it was university illinois medical center they took 25 patients and housed them and what they did is they looked at the patients that had kind of come through the e.r. the most and they ended up housing these patients the company and they actually show how the company's 6000000 dollars and medicaid members actually like i was saying produce 43000000000 and 2018. they showed one person who is that money went to and again through also there were you receive illinois at chicago for example you had this guy as we they named him steve and united health they got him into an apartment 12 months prior to him moving in and he had spent $81.00 times in the e.r. he had spent 17 days hospitalized had medical costs on average of $12945.00 per month now 9 months since he had a roof over his head and he's been living underneath you know in the warmth and
8:43 pm
away from the cold his average medical expenses dropped by more than 80 percent bringing his total to $2000.00 a month and he had a lot of different problems and a lot of different costs that were literally keeping him homeless you know it's $1.00 of these things where and it's going to explain the mess over and over and why people are like medicare for all and all going to. having this what i'm going to do how i'm going to pay for my we're already paying for it yeah you are costing us all in our tax dollars state local federal we're paying for it and then we're paying for it with the insurance companies because then they raise their and insurance guys about hospitals they're raising everything the cost question and everybody else and you know bringing that up you know you're talking about you know we were saying but other cities i want you to take a look at this graph. here because this is very interesting it shows how we compared to other countries and how our country spends how much they spend on health care verses social spending and we're talking social spending the like
8:44 pm
helping how's the homeless helping with programs like you know drug abuse programs alcoholism you see us 16 percent to 12 you see all the other countries or france over spends 20 percent all the other countries it's really a half and half thing and that's what this doctor dr jeffrey brenner that's what he is proposing he's saying that unless you act how this all started as he looked at numbers and ambulance data back in his hometown of camden new jersey which is the poorest town in the state and he saw that the e.r. visits once they started housing some of these people e.r. visits went down 40 percent the city's spending on health care was just about cut in half before the city was spending about $1200000.00 the city then was spending $500000.00 and people think oh housing the homeless it's going to be a waste of money no you're actually going to be saving a ton of money off looking at these numbers right so yes so we're comparing how we
8:45 pm
look for from going through you know one set of circumstances to another where we grew up kind of understanding that you know you got to pay for the right things go and if you go to the emergency room you've got to get a bill or you're going to get these things and in reality we've now seen that economics will tell you where to be a good person and the economics are telling you we're losing money and that's financial karma when you do things like this and don't think about the pieces and how to take care of people in a smart way. we won't need. company is they'll just go bankrupt because the rest nobody with the will be anybody left over to pay for it oh yeah and then i mean and then when you're looking at the bigger umbrella issue of this as we were talking earlier you have it where you know in california have the housing crisis out in california. that's another contributor so you have more homeless now adding because you have all these developers that are coming in that are jacking up the prices it really is a cyclical effect and it's all
8:46 pm
a trickle down effect and unfortunately our health care which should be our biggest priority is falling to the wayside now well you know we have elections and things to take care of we got to pay for something 2020. in the middle but they use their wives america chorus. thank you so much for walking us through that. as we go to break off watchers that forget the less than we think of the topics we've covered on our social media and they start to tackle watching occupied cast now available on apple music and everywhere you listen coming up as the to discuss feel it does a vault a 7 leakers challenge to the us but 1st the special c equipment market association kicked up with the annual car fair this week at las vegas celebrating the best and the brightest one of a kind they too are watching the house. thousands
8:47 pm
of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision. every came to a complete. the day that i was right it's all been struck you know you know i'll shut up but they kill me and i see how it destroyed my life and he screamed at me and he made me come in you can my own and he raped me just berthing 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. is sexually assaulted in the u.s. military is a very very traumatizing have happened but i've never seen trauma like i've seen
8:48 pm
women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished don't be offended and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of tower and violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. the good news if you like and use the term deep state you are no longer deemed a conspiracy theorist the bad news is very real and powerful and a danger to the democratic process the deep state as the 4th branch of government is it counts. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important. transition to sustainable prized board sustainability. a more equitable and sustainable world.
8:49 pm
they claim their production is completely harmless. because. companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something else this must be going to an even and i mean look. at news new doomsday nieminen. on disk. and documents to the court attorneys for a former employee of the cia aid. adam trolled the argued that scholars journalists and judges have long feared that the espionage act and the federal larceny statute are so vaguely worded and have been construed so broadly that the government could
8:50 pm
use them to prosecute news organizations and their confidential sources for obtaining and revealing truthful and important information about government activity to the public in this case those fears have been realized 31 year old child is accused by the u.s. government of leaking classified materials to wiki leaks and 2017 which details the cia's software capabilities including their ability to compromise computerized automobile systems remotely exploits smart t.v.'s as well as many other deeply concerning abilities and joining me now to discuss the case of josh marshall to vote 7 in the espionage act is civil rights attorney robert udell thanks for joining us thanks for having me on so i want to 1st start what are the civil rights concerns privacy concerns with what came out of the vote 7 really well let's let's understand why that release was so important that it. believe over 8000 documents. the details on how the cia is able to smartphones how they're able to the
8:51 pm
information on your phone even when the phone is turned off how they were able to call in more television sets so the television could be turned off you would think that it's opposite a listening device bugging you the as automation continues to infiltrate our homes most of us have voice control model such as the let's siri there weren't even in existence when the votes of release happened we have to have more and more concerns that every single device is going listen to being we do have a constitutional right to privacy we have a constitutional right to our own affair it's what some of those a minister we don't talk about often the quartering of troops those sorts of amendments or all about keeping our personal effects our personal papers private and now that's completely gone out the window by the fact that a government can hack in it anytime from any location into this information so the . the point of the. motion for. turning is now saying that this might 117 as it was drafted so broadly and so vaguely for another
8:52 pm
time can. completely but in 1017 you were thinking about the proliferation of the internet or smartphones technology of that nature and the broad nature of the espionage act of 1017 makes a void for vagueness the concept that if the law is so void they can be interpreted to criminalize otherwise legal activity that is therefore void constitutionally as those 2 argument they're making before the courts so how you know one of the things i think we talked about we talked to earlier is you know as they're trying to reauthorize the usa freedom act and they want the c.v.r. that collection day them to telephone metadata they want to keep that authorized just in case even though they have said it doesn't work so how is this helping us and where's the transparency because you have you know susan morgan saying if it doesn't get reauthorized you know they'll lose a tool in their tool box that if we don't have all of these things that we're involved 7 because someday someday we might need them and they might be great is it
8:53 pm
fair then and what effect does it have on the constitution not just constitutionality but the power of the espionage act if we're just throwing it willy nilly at people to make up for. oh our stuff got out of people found out let's let's understand something about the importance of this the entire vault 7 and the espionage. prosecutions we've seen whether it's assad whether it's man whether it's other individuals who have been caught up in this whole thing this has the power to undermine the constitution itself whether or not we have a constitution or not is wrapped up in what happens in these cases because if the courts ruled that the government can use the espionage act to prosecute any journalist for example who publishes that's what's on tubes of the accused over just receiving a publishing information that was classified well that means that no newspaper is real anymore no news outlet is really more everything is only state sponsored media
8:54 pm
because only what the state allows you to put out will be what goes out so you would have the pentagon papers you wouldn't have the nixon tapes all those things could have been prosecutor under the espionage they had the broad interpretation that we have now further courts have ruled that you do not need to be a journalist to avail yourself of the ability to publish this information in any individual can it as a demo swimmer publishing classified information if it's in the public interest or at least as the argument of these lawyers are making so because of that if the judge we allow the courts to rule broadly on this and give the government plenary power on who to prosecute for what information then we basically undermine the 1st amendment guarantees to freedom of speech for those simply freedom to petition our government so it's crucial that we pay attention to these cases and not allow the government to have this sort of power over us. do you think of an ass you know your personal opinion since you know the patriot act was whist quickly wrote it out that
8:55 pm
one night in the weeks after 911 m. and west set out do you think that you know in the next 510 years in the next decade that we will see that patriot act taken to task and really called a part and made useful. for a new for the new world the digital world that we were in that we were in in 2001 but we just had you know will we be able to pull that apart and maybe build something that does have safety measures in place that does have the things you need to keep everyone safe while not trampling on everybody's you know that constitution and i know that's kind of what i think and i think it has to happen i think we're seeing bipartisan support for the idea of pulling back what we saw just last year with. the authorization for use of for military action was gave the president the right to bomb any country on earth preemptively because he thought they might pose at the terror threat everyone present from lost those cruise missiles get serious i feel like he has to come to congress with this. really
8:56 pm
that's the thing as we see as this is the patriot jurisprudence the post 911 jurisprudence has expanded and been used to cover pretty much any and every somebody executive branch congress is now understanding they have to take but some authority in the rain back in so we can have 3 co-equal branches of government and not simply a president who builds what he wants and a congress that tries to ask him to not do things that you know if we gave a lot of power away and it's great when it's someone who is reasonable and you can have a discussion with and there can be some debate but when you had that was always the concern is down the road it's going to be someone who isn't reasonable who isn't well educated on the subject who is thinking about themselves not about the better you know they're going on that i think in 2001 when we drafted these things we never thought that within 20 years we will let the game show host and give him the opportunity and power to launch a preemptive nuclear strike against anybody with no input from congress just like the old saying goes but the he who is willing to sacrifice freedom for security
8:57 pm
shall have neither and that's where we're at right now that is a perfect place and i thank you so much civil rights attorney thank you for joining relink you. so what weighs 3500 pounds and was just finishing up their jail time. you're never going to guess that but this story is pretty is amazing so take a look at this here is not one this one of 50 ballou the whales getting released into the ocean this after they were all caught by a private firm captain in tiny enclosures for months at a time so where that $3500.00 pounds come and that's how much one of those boat will go whales ways which is why crews there to capture on video because you have to use a crane to set these guys back into the water very amazing a lot of work went into saving those whales but on the other side of the world another whale made its way this close to a ship sailed by the pacific gods for expeditions showing that although these guys weigh in on a mass of $3500.00 pounds plus they truly are the ocean's most gentle
