strict the movement of people in a democracy with a lockdown of a northern region affecting the almost 16000000 people and israel got in the game announcing a port deemed a quarantine for all international arrivals not just people traveling from countries with major outbreaks meanwhile back here in the good old us of a our congress went full panic mode because not only is wall street still tumbling but the coronavirus made a surprise visit to what was once the republican party's safe haven the conservative political action conference or c. pac yes now thanks to its cameo it see pac the coronavirus has forced us senator ted cruz to self quarantine for 14 days after he briefly shook and with the sea pack carrier but coated 19 sounds like come on irene isn't the only small little virus leaving bodies in its wake and making headlines these days no blackwater zone former founder erik prince is back in the hot seat after
11:31 am
a new york times investigation uncovered that the war profiteer helped recruit former american and british spies for a secretive intelligence gathering operations that included infiltrating democratic congressional campaigns labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the trump agenda. or other words just another day at the office for the mercenary mogul and younger brother of secretary of education betsy the boss. who they are actually brother and sister so with viruses making headlines stock markets falling or oil wars brewing in erik prince of merck's caught spying i think it's a good time to for us to start watching the hawks. if you want to risk going on a city the streets you want to see. them so you like to see the prices you always just stay and see a little slice scrapes suggests least systemic dissent says the late show
11:32 am
which would be so when the joke as. well when watching the eggs i am tyrone ventura and i'm in the chicago boil boil me should look at this we got coronavirus scares and people locked down the countries and all the way comes with the whole so we've got the other my other favorite virus erik prince back in the headlines again yes the former blackwater mercenary maestro got caught spying on everyone. here in the united states and it's interesting it's also it seems like everything and everything everybody that's close to the device in them getting caught up somehow not necessarily extremely shocked but he's got to work on his high game a little bit yeah you know it's interesting because it you know it sensually this is a new york times you know kind of uncovered that he allegedly teamed with was a famed project veritas which i'm sure you you know well james all keeps wonderful
11:33 am
interesting weird journalistic company the ones that always are you know unloading videos of somebody saying something crazy from the left. the campaigns are pretty incredible prince allegedly orchestrated the infiltration of a congressional campaign the congressional campaign a sort of former cia officer abigail spain birger in virginia. the campaign discovered the operative that he had sent in there via a project to cover operative and fired or you also had 6 officer richard sudden who ran a 2017 operation to copy files and record conversations get this in the michigan office of the american federation of teachers that's one of the largest teachers' unions in the nation suddenly even directed an undercover operative to secretly taped the union's local leaders and find information that could basically damage the organization publicly that's a big deal when one of the people running this operation is the brother of the secretary of education spying on teachers and it's also a big deal when you think about the impact politically of the american federation
11:34 am
of teachers is not only one of the largest teachers' union is also the one that backs and helps to fund some of the most progressive but also people who are going to pass legislation and help a lot when it comes to teachers' union funding when it comes to making sure the teachers the millions are met and that includes governors that includes house reps that includes senators they have been very vital in pushing some of these people forward so ease dropping on those calls you know implicating a lot of that infrastructure also opens them up to what could be a lot of potentially damaging information because they do a lot of this not necessarily out in the public no virtue i'm to me it's like the danger lies in the connections to be administration it's one thing if this guy wants to go off and join projects on his own and do these and. send spies and moles in which i'm sure he's breaking some kind of laws were we not i don't know. if in the background we don't see betty there is no flame throwing coming from anyone
11:35 am
around this story in terms of her possible removal or because because of the because of the closeness obviously. i think that makes a difference he's already probably probably to a lot of information that the average person wouldn't be just considering his sister's position but in addition to that he. found a way to again be able to infiltrate which someone who's work in education policy and really understands what that means that is a very high level organization when it comes to not only organizational structure but making sure that you buy multiple campaigns so who knows that the only campaign the only information he got was for the specific one that he was targeting or how long he was actually doing this because again they fund multiple campaigns over multiple cycles in addition to stepping out indorsed and came early as well you know the consumer watchdog group progress called on the house oversight committee do essentially step in and conduct an immediate investigation into what device knew about her brother a little brother's activities progress director martin stated quote secretary
11:36 am
divorce the boss his brother was directly involved in a spying scheme in her home state against the teachers union she's been hostile with for years if that doesn't clear the bar for an immediate congressional investigation nothing does i i actually agree with that and when we know that erik prince is dirty at the end of the day i mean this is the guy who ran blackwater which is responsible for war crimes and after iraq a lot of these people went on trial for being you know for shooting there in the square this is not a good above board and we also know that betsy deval is 100 percent anti teachers' union type teacher she is all about privatization of education so i think that there is also something secondary there we may not be able to do that report so how much she knew or when she knew it would be hard for me to believe that she did know anything we had when we got to fight the viruses from abroad we also have to fight the virus is here at home to. you've trained your whole life beginning as a small child balancing being grueling exercises targeting choir muscles and
11:37 am
finally becoming one of the nation's elite gymnast only to fall victim to sexual abuse at the hands of your team doctor that's exactly what happened to $517.00 teens and young girls in the usa gymnastics team a trauma each of them will carry for the rest of their lives. the former national team doctor larry nasser was convicted his victims are still suffering reigning olympic champion simone biled took to twitter recently to boyce her prescriptions the u.s. olympic and paralympic committee are doing their level best to silence the victims and push their experiences under the rug the u.s. a.g. released its settlement proposal for the victims and shockingly range individual settlements with some recipients as high as 1230000 and others 82000 dollars it begs the question can you put a price tag on the abuse these women suffered how much are their lives truly work.
11:38 am
but money isn't the only thing causing major concern in the film and the most outrage is being saved for something else the settlement will release the former u.s. chief executive the former u.s. team coordinators coaches and many others from liability despite a congressional report revealing their role in an elaborate cover up that led to hundreds of young women suffering sexual abuse here to shed more light on this developing story is r t america sports producer regina g. always a pleasure having you on milledge seems the usa gymnastics team when you look at the stories trying to essentially close the books on the sex abuse scandal for good that's been plaguing this organization for years now what point do we say this is just to silence them or is there sincerity in their effort to compensate these victims that it's a you know if there's no sincerity and that's all they are absolutely trying to get out of any responsibility they could have nasser's publicity came to light 26 teams all of this came out he had hundreds of victims coming up to michigan to speak to
11:39 am
him in a court and to share their stories to share their trauma and for us age of nasa makes you know they file bankruptcy in $20000.00 because of this their insurance they claim allows them to give $250000000.00 these girls are obviously way more and it's sad that they've broken it down they've put a price tag on suffering there's a sincerity when you put a price tag on suffering. if you compete at the top of your game you're at the olympics or at the world or at the nationals you get about $1250000.00 like me says that if you just file in indiscriminate claim against a doctor or a coach you're worth $82000.00 they put a price tag on that that some of these jinnah's were sexually abused and that that they're saying you know what your abuse wasn't really worth that much in all the years of trauma they've gone through and it's horrific it's absolutely horrific the abuse is the same with her you know whether or not you did well with the olympics it will change what you did that's terrible and what type of message though is this sin to parents because you when you think about it it's these people who are interested their babies these were young children when they 1st started getting
11:40 am
trained for the olympics they trusted their babies to these coaches they trusted them to these trainers and now they're looking at the fact that their children are being basically dismissed and the level of trauma that they have and they're going to carry with them for the rest of their lives doesn't really seem to matter no it doesn't and that's the thing that used in gymnastics by having this settlement and thankfully anybody with a brain has rejected it they're saying you know what all the years of trauma these are things you had to work through in therapy that you probably still carry some of these women were well into their twenty's and thirty's these are not kids anymore they've had that for decades and the fact is there's a mastic says trying to smooth it over as a parent you want to see them held accountable you want to see them held to the highest degree of justice they can for your child this is something you the someone you have raise you have given birth to that you hold in such high esteem and they've gone through something horrific that we would nobody would wish on anybody and us as a mass is kind of shutting the door and hoping like
11:41 am
a fender bender inevitably goes away and it won't it's interesting too because you know a lot of what they're asking form of the victim saying look money isn't what's the issue here it's the culture that allowed this guy to operate like this and changing the culture so you don't have a repeat performance from another predator that comes on the one are there any new policies or procedures you know what type so they can for that need to. put in place to prevent this kind of sexual abuse in us age music genetics is undergoing what they call a restructuring of theirs they have a new c.e.o. in place she's putting implementing rules in deeper background checks into doctors more check in on team events when you're traveling abroad elliptic nationals what have you they're trying to be more transparent with how their training is what kind of doctors they implement what kind of rules they implement and that's all well and good you can say on the outside hey let's implement all these new changes let's have parents understand that we care so much about their drugs there are boys in the gymnastics to this just predominately happens to be $517.00 girls they're
11:42 am
trying to say we're changing how we view everything but yet they're still trying to hide from their paths are still trying to get out of what they've done and if that doesn't show that they haven't really changed our culture at all i don't i don't know what that is will thank you for giving us a real insight into what's going on with this story powerful story all around regina and thank you so much for coming on today all right as we go to break clock watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of a topic you covered over social media and be sure to check out watch the arts the podcast available on spotify up a music and everywhere you listen to your favorite or not so favorite you can also stare watching the hearts of the man through their brand new portable t.v. up available on smartphones through google play on the apple app store by searching for the t v or streamers to your t.v. buy down or the t.v. or the novelty of wine or the t.v. coming up we look at the us presidential history of racism here in the united states with all the margaret from the state to the actual.
11:43 am
time of the time called her ration to repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability stablemen. not the more equitable and sustainable well. they claim their production is completely harmless god does need to. be getting. it done something companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away this is again all this must be done even and i mean look. this is the mood of news limited window nieminen i'm studying them in the best understood look at who is going in the.
11:44 am
same wrong. role just don't all. get to shape out just to become educated and indeed it was a betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. description. even for the owners. to choose the pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the pet. may not be. people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders allergies we are actually creating these problems it's
11:45 am
a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets streets the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. american exceptionalism patriotism and a high regard for the oval office are ingredients to the think what sauce we call the usa but america has always been a tale of 2 countries if you're a minority or underprivileged you know all too well that the american dream exclude . our presidents even the ones often heralded by historians as the most progressive
11:46 am
and woke at least for their time what that's right lincoln f.d.r. clinton and obama just to name a few all they'll short systemic racism and discrimination seems to have a steady flow throughout presidencies from members of both political parties a new book presidential black america and the president's explores the complex relationship the oval has with black america. earlier my co-host tyrrell sat down with presidential author margaret kimberly for deep dive on her book he started by asking her how does her book shed light on the role president with the black community juxtaposed to the stories many of us are taught. we're told that our presidents are great and wonderful it's part of an effort to have people believe in our system and support our government and frankly not to question the history of this nation america was founded as
11:47 am
a settler colonial state based on murder and theft of the indigenous population and on chattel slavery so. if you talk about that if you're truthful about that about those facts then you have a problem in uplifting these people and elevating them to this stature this reverence we have where these in towns and schools are named after them where their faces are on our money we're told about chopping cherry trees and all all sorts of things that are fanciful in order to cover up the history of this country it's truly amazing what we don't want to learn about from our history we want to shield for most i mean from from slavery to reconstruction in the civil rights movement political leaders like lincoln johnson and kennedy have you know they've sanitized their kind of sanitized versions of their roles of oppression and
11:48 am
opposing freedom and rights for good for black folks these these stories are not told what these people will really like to the black community do believe sharing them you know kind of takes away from the idea that america's project of democracy is one the world should follow. through it does it does take away from it but that's a good thing we need to question we need a wholesale questioning of this country's history of how this government has functioned domestically. and abroad and i think it is very important to question american this notion of democracy the 1st 12 presidents 10 were slave holders those that were not held that system slavery didn't end until there was a war lincoln was thought of as the great emancipator but he actually wanted to send black people out of the country and was planning to do so up until the moment he was assassinated and then we were that was followed by
11:49 am
a 100 excuse me 100 years of jim crow segregation and the effort to fight against it and it's important that we know this truth and that we question everything we're told about this country then we can have a really great country if we have honesty the idea of loving a country. if if that love is based on lies and if people have to feel comfortable in order to feel comfortable feel they have to hide and omissions are lies as well that's very damaging so we should have a love of country that's based on truth i couldn't agree with you more it's one of the reasons why i love this book so watch is because of a i hate the white washing your face tree i was taught contemporary history a little bit you know. when you look at the current president barack obama for example and his legacy is not a bright spot for black america. wellesley black people were happy i'm not opposed
11:50 am
to happiness but he was he was he did what his predecessors did he came into office in 2008 and it's interesting that he raised 10 times as much as john mccain did so it was clear where his allegiance lay where all of them lay with defending the interests of corporate america the capitalist system so he bailed out the banks the banks that created the financial. i says he gave them money even obamacare which we're told is the one thing we should never criticize it was a bailout of the big pharma and the insurance companies and we still have millions of people not covered so this. whitewashing allows the the word continues into modern history and we have a party in his case the democratic party which is supposed to be the party of equality and justice but which has thrown in its lot with corporate interests and
11:51 am
therefore cannot 3rd the interests of a marginalized group of people no they certainly can all and i think it's great points that you brought up about you know his bailout of the banks and the bailout and what obamacare truly was because ultimately most of your poor oppressed people in this country which are sadly many people of color in this country those of the 1st victims of those kind of bailouts of those kind of failures of the system they're usually the ones affected 1st i want to one of the questions i want to ask you after reading the book is which presidents histories and relations with with black americans surprised you the most you know the relationships basically just the surprised you the most when you were putting this book together. well i think lincoln and i touched on it briefly. i was taught. that he was an abolitionist he was not at all i was taught that he favored these colonization schemes to send
11:52 am
black people out of the country but he stopped advocating them but he never stopped advocating he wanted to bail out the confederacy and offer the millions of dollars and give them more than 30 years to free in slave people these are things that we should know he's the one of the people who's been written about i believe more than any other i think they're more biographies of lincoln than anyone else but this information which is very easy to come by i did. not have access to some secret archive but. it's clear that many historians and biographers are more concerned with upholding belief in the system than they are in being truthful about history. really hurts because it does it's not its truth can hurt but we've got to learn from the truth at the end of the day and that's what's so important you know one of the interesting things too is appealing to white grievance seems to be a core element that seems to run through you know u.s.
11:53 am
presidents for the democratic party throughout history which holds the largest black voting bloc also in history how do you see the white grievance appeal playing out in the kind of modern era and can we move past it at some point. well it plays out constantly we have in this country there's a political division there's always a party for white people party for black people republicans were the party favored by black people for many years it was the party of lincoln the democrats were the party of the segregated south the 2 parties switched but white grievance is the basis for that most white people vote for the republican it's not just try and this is based on grievance based on a belief that they deserve certain things and. excuse me and that black people in particular are going to keep them from having the things that they deserve but i
11:54 am
think the way out is not to lie the way out is to do more for everyone we need a more generous society i think that will help in easing some of these tensions and this need to hold on to things which hold back so many people you know because even today in the democratic primary you see black americans and people of color in this country being used for votes but the moment the you know the moment the. a woman gets elected there are oftentimes those those groups that they're playing to get tossed aside as political liabilities when the president suddenly gets into office and that's the merit of the plays out over a whole herd and in your book can you explain a little bit how and why this happens to so people get that understanding that what you were told on the campaign trail is not often what happens once the man or you know once the man gets elected to the office. well i right now it's the democrats who depend on black votes but they wish they did not depend on them they go through
11:55 am
everything they're always talking about getting the reagan democrat the trunk vote or the tea party whatever configuration of conservative politics is exe in existence at the time they don't even protect black people's votes that's one of the reasons hillary clinton lost to donald trump voter suppression is rampant. people being taken off the rolls in many different states but the democrats don't speak up they don't even speak up when they're cheated out of office the electoral college they don't talk about it gore and hillary clinton both won the popular vote but getting rid of the electoral college is something they don't even bring up they hope they can thread the needle finely enough that they can get our votes by being a little less racist and getting some white people too but that is 1st of all it's
11:56 am
a recipe for failure hillary clinton lost donald trump wasn't supposed to be able to win yet he's the one in the white house so if nothing else people have to start looking at the record of the democratic party and their their record of failure obama more than $900.00 democratic seats last across the country for the simple reason that they don't want to do the hard work of getting voters out because then they were. have to give up their allegiance to court allegiance to corporate interests that is what will get the voters out that is what will get black voters out sometimes the coolest new things can come from the worst of reasons at least that's what antarctic scientists and researchers are telling themselves up to a brand new island disappeared off the coast of the south pole this summer thanks to the ice melting as you can see in this picture. temperatures of climate change yes the melting of 2 major glaciers the waves on the pine island on the antarctic peninsula have revealed
11:57 am
a brand new never before seen uncharted island that had been long buried under the ice of the glaciers well the island itself is just 350 meters long that didn't stop researchers from naming it after the ever powerful norse goddess of the earth. so happy birthday so why would glad to have you with us even though some of the worst of circumstances. that i got to say about deserves row pre-debate remember everyone in this world we are not told that we love them up so i tell you all i love you. and i'm of the people are watching all those hawks and have a great faith. in the united states presidential candidates debate the future of the us and the world . max keiser and stacy her but dig into the burning questions of this election
