even elliot or william barr digging through your search history online so all those supposed freedom protectors road storming the state capitals armed to the teeth with guns and pretend patriotism you know the ones who got scared away from rain you know fighting for the right to reopen the bars and nail salons our elected officials in the u.s. senate were busy shredding even more of our constitutional protections and bill of rights seriously by stay at home orders they it has nothing nothing on the united states congress says when it comes to removing personal rights and freedoms here in the united states which is why my friends we are always watching the home. on a city street you want to. see this you always see a. great city displays systemic deceptions so which. brings up as.

well going to watching the world winter and i'm a nice across the mesa goodness gracious so everyone was out there on capitol steps across the country in state after state saying we want our rights back we want to go outside we want to not have to really be you know at home all the time. and then washington like passes actual things that violate people's rights they passed things that actually you know it was real there was a show negligence an extension of the old patriot act like that actually does violate u.s. citizens rights regardless of what you know fancy lawyers want to say in congress or you know people justify that kind of thing and nary a peep or rally 8 the interesting thing about this is that it did hit certain news wave cycles but it didn't get a lot of attention so i think that a lot of americans aren't necessarily aware that this is happening and what i did see on social media was a few libertarian groups kind of speak out against it but thus far it. it can

a fail like a tree in the forest nobody heard it so i think that part of the reasoning is that there hasn't been enough media attention paid to it but in addition to that this is a very interesting time to push something a reauthorize something like this and congress more and more people are still looking towards another round of stimulus package they're trying to figure out what's going to happen with the economy so for this to come up now and they're not really be a large discussion in the grander sphere about who they think is largely in part because of the timing in the framework. you often see that happen whether by choice or happenstance to go up and see these kind of interesting bills that stripped away rights kind of always being passed through the cover of darkness either some other bigger issue going on the kind of keeps everyone distracted and that's the time where it's like hey you know what the old ones reauthorized which i was pretty funny when they labeled these bills they often label them with the exact opposite of the content of the bill when it comes to stop it's controversial there's nothing freedom about allowing people what william bar or whoever these energies down the

line to start digging into our browsing history at all i think you know absolutely and it also brings to the question why because the process if you going through and getting a warrant is not extremely long we've seen cases where within 24 hours one was given why would we need to obfuscate that process to go ahead and do things sooner and what types of not only byelection to liberty and personal privacy but other things as this lead to because i know that there are a lot of people who probably don't want their browser history out there for the world to fear for anyone to see but in addition to that what gives you the leveraging power to do so outside of our current process i think that you know we've seen this this is a real and so obviously we've had this process for your but since the original time frame i think the american public has moved a lot more progressive when it came to ignore it when it came to forcefully pushing against having this level of scrutiny this level of privacy invasion and so. it's

very interesting to me that even beyond all the protest began all the conversation we've seen over the past 67 years we're now back in the exact things space it is really interesting to see that there was a few people that put up a little bit of a defense of this in the senate it now moves over to the house to see what happens there and you know was it steve dame's republican out of montana and ron widen out a democrat or given you know one of the rare times they get together and things they did or offer up with amendment that would have prevented the use of section $215.00 for warrantless surveillance of internet searches which is what we're talking about but that 5 failed by just one vote for didn't show up one of them including bernie sanders didn't show up to vote that day failed by one vote the memo that would have prevented that rand paul of all people surprisingly rand paul of kentucky he proposed an amendment that would have actually exempted americans from being able to be under 5 the court approved surveillance which is actually i think something that we really need to discuss and should be brought up that failed just 51128585 senators voted against that from keeping americans exempt from the

court which is what we saw abused during the whole russia gate controversy so it's very interesting to see how you know they're all joining up to crush 5 that you know to keep the court intact despite the problems that we've seen with it over the years and and what is the narrative around the necessity here because i know that sometimes in these arguments there is the we want to protect this nation against terrorism terrorism threat so we want to be able to intercept that type of communication or you know those things different codings before an incident actually occurs. but do we have evidence that this actually works i mean we've been we've been using this process for a long time now and then you know most of the evidence that you'll see is usually the f.b.i. paying some homeless person then giving them the weapons and the idea you know i mean you always see those entrapment things or i look at and say that's clear entrapment you took some guy or some disgruntled. almost person maybe a little nuts and gave them all the technology gave them the bomb and said look we caught a terrorist plot you know that's not actually stop. and terrorism very rarely do

you stop a crime before it happens that's only in the movies and t.v. shows. as flowers bloom wildlife run free and waterways and aquatic like enjoy a time of little to no human interaction with 19 has provided a respite from mother nature but this is not a time for environmental activists to take a rest actually it's time to sound the alarm even louder across america the u.s. environmental protection agency has sued cities and industries forcing them to clean up their act reducing pollution that threatens our air and water quality for example in my home state of illinois the wood river refinery was sued by the state and federal government for releasing toxic waste water directly into the mississippi river 2 years ago they settled one lawsuit agreeing to spend 10 $1000000.00 for necessary upgrades and monitoring of the refinery as well as $500000.00 to clean up the low income homes and buildings that were affected just in f.y.r. by these low income homes and buildings were home to young children and pregnant

women who have been profoundly exposed to lead and other toxic emissions for years many of the children were born premature suffer from abnormalities and lived with a life long health issues equated with the disaster now you think the e.p.a. pressure implants will push the factory to do better but not so fast to look 66 the company that owns the wood river refinery has suspended all work on the little bit program they were required to complete this means that the thousands of lives the factory has put it risk over the years are still subject to lead unhealthy water and poor air quality the reason. $1000.00 and the department of justice seems to be helping the polluters issue a problematic new policy the deal j. recently said it would suspend the collection of penalties for violations of consent decrees and other enforcement orders as david baron managing attorney at the environmental nonprofit justice it settlement agreements and civil law. are

only as good as the government's willingness to watchdog the consent decree and make sure that the parties comply. that is that is huge news because i mean i think we're all relieved a little bit when we started seeing you know because of the stay at home orders at home may just get a little cleaned up and like hey there's less air pollution as a group but you kind of got relieved and thinking that hey by the way they're still cleaning up but mellow under this cover of like oh well we can't summon them but. you know it's too much money watch oh we're just not cleaning anything exactly and these were major phased out plans the one in illinois for example had 7 different phases to it and in addition to obviously the money that was going to be used towards revamping some of these homes that were extremely damaging a lot of those are public housing projects some of them are you know regular standalone homes but in addition to that it is now you are pushing more people to be threatened even higher from covert $1000.00 because now they have they have this consistently of poisoning in addition to the fact that they can't go anywhere so

even the vigils are in their homes the water is definitely not clean water and on top of that they are dealing with a lot of the residuals from the lead poisoning to begin with it's brutal when you get it when you lay it out when you really think about that because it's like yeah ok now you go to stay at home you know lead contaminated home you know these are things that are probably people we were talking about public help that doesn't begin and just with cope with 19 public health those across the board environmental health those across the board and this is ridiculous but you know at the end of the day we've seen that it's big businesses over and over again kind of wording you know. throwing out the lord throwing out common sense just to kind of maintain not maintain any kind of corporate responsibility absolutely and it's good that you point that out because b.p. is probably one of the ones one of the larger corporations that was gifted the most from this term from the department of justice because b.p. has had a lot of regulatory issues particularly as it relates to environmental awareness.

the environmental issues that they have caused with oil spills and other things. now they are basically sitting pretty and able to skirt a lot of the regulations because they're there nor horseman chicks during this time of covert 19 and shelter in place stay at home waters no one is actually coming out to make sure that they are following the regulations that were designed for them give out one of what they're properly shut down and they've got their employees at home they're probably no one's really working there so you don't have to worry about it but on the other hand you know that you know that you've got to keep these people's feet to the fire because they will do anything anything to not have to be responsible or be held accountable for their actions in the past but the thing that suffers most is the families are there not what your needs are people who are basically getting screwed over because no one is cleaning up their backyard exactly and these are families who had protested these are families who had marched these are families who wrote letters to the editor these are families who came to d.c. i used to work for the e.p.a. in illinois and one of the most interesting things about this is that it takes years for any piece of litigation to come down from the federal government when it

relates to environmental policy and environmental protection so you have families who have had issues with their water with for the past 35 years because of this plant and they were just beginning to see some level over a leaf in terms of in terms of the litigation back 2 years ago and the regulations that were given then for the reopening of the plant for them to you know basically right their wrongs was a multi-stage process they're not even finished with phase one and now they are basically issuing issuing statements that they can't do the other 6 or 7 because the code 19 really is garbage and so if you can't use the excuse of the. i have to ask you when working on it too it's like we're going to see this job or across the board with bart making that decision are we going to pretty much just absolutely so illinois is one example but we're also seeing this in dallas we're also seeing it in different areas across florida right now there are over $350.00 consent decrees in the. united states who are major corporations for these you know smokestack

buildings and all these other things that have really created some problems for the local residents either because they're dumping unhealthy things in the water or because they have serious air quality issues they're exacerbated now by the fact that all of that is actually making it worse for families who are trying to protect themselves from cope at 19 so in the one hand you have regulators who can't go in because of the stay at home waters on the other you have parents and children who are at home but are also being extremely exposed and because of that exposure their risk for 1000 is a lot higher oh man and always remember to these are also people who are probably in the poorest of communities who are going to have to face this directly head on while the people who own the companies who are living in the rich communities they don't have to worry about lead in their water they don't worry about these kind of toxic chemicals in their environment it's gross gross gross gross thought as we're going to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on the memes of the brand new portable t.v. which is available on smartphones through google play an apple app store simply by searching portable t v or you can stream us to your big t.v.

up. 2 of the countries that have been the subject of rigorous sanctions from the united states are now working together if iran ships fuel to venezuela the u.s. is reportedly looking for ways to intervene which could signal a new conflict amid increased tensions artie's rachel blevins joins us now to discuss the details welcome thank you for having me what is the latest conflict phrase we have these reports that iran is in the process of sending supplies to venezuela and now we're sort of waiting to figure out what the united states is going to do and there are reports of the u.s. is planning on intervening in some way and that could be directly through sending u.s. navy ships out to the caribbean sea to try to stop these 5 iranian tankers that are carrying more than $45000000.00 worth of gasoline and supplies so they could try to stop them in their path before they even get to venezuela now the u.s.

has yet to confirm that but we do know that they have these incredibly strict sanctions i'm both iran and venezuela and they really spent the last year trying to cut these countries off from the rest of the world it's really breaking my heart here in this because it sounds like my dad used to describe the way we used to sanction q. but we still do but the way we you know the whole cuba versus the u.s. that back in the sixty's with the blockade and things like that now we're seeing this going how has iran responded to the reports that u.s. ships may actually intercept their ships in korean waters while iran went ahead of us and they submitted a complaint to the united nations and they said look if the u.s. tries to stop or tankers in the sea we would treat it as an illegal act of piracy and any consequences that come out of that will be washington's fault now a spokesperson for iran's foreign ministry is also speaking out and he's saying that it's not up to washington to dictate where iranian tankers are around the world take us no you had to say you have my own kind of what american stated regarding our oil tankers in various locations around the world. it is illegal and

shameful if they make any moves against this really legitimate the ceiling of our ships i would definitely place reaction by the islamic republic of iran. now at the same time iran supreme leader is also renewing calls for u.s. troops to get out of iraq and syria and he went as far as to say that if they didn't leave voluntarily they would be expelled now it's not clear yet exactly how that would happen but a statement like that is enough to increase tensions even further between the u.s. and iran. very sticky situation how the u.s. sanctions impacted both countries where will the u.s. is pacifically targeted countries that are known for their oil reserves and they have done everything they can to cut off their business and hurt their economies and that has had a major impact specifically on the civilians of these countries especially when it comes to getting access to medical supplies and even basic things like food and clean water now this partnership that we're seeing between iran and venezuela is

coming up because they're seeing ways that they can work together in a minimal way because iran has the chemicals the venezuelan needs in order to refine its crude oil but of course because the u.s. does have these things in place it is likely to want to intervene in some way and this is really frustrating at a time when we have a pandemic going on right now and countries around the world have called for the u.s. to back off on these sanctions for the civilians if nothing else but that's only made the terms of ministration double down on it seems and it's said that it's not going to remove the sanctions on iran unless it goes along with its nuclear demands and it's not going to remove the same of them as well unless they overthrow their government i'm going to go out on the limb of i going to just look at it so it makes sense that they're doubling down on that because right now the trump administration even congress u.s. elected officials are looking for any kind of thing to distract from the fact that what over 90000 citizens abroad no i mean anything to distract from that whether it's a war or conflict or whatever they want to call it is one of those things right. absolutely and they feel like you know there's such to. and around this well we

have a very interesting in story past not only in terms of sanctions but also just our relationship broadly that this is this is par for the course it is there anything i mean where do we see this going when do you think that these ships will actually intercept if they get into the caribbean do they know well this is hopefully something that will figure out in the next 24 hours in terms of if there is you know it's one of those things because the u.s. hasn't said anything about it now it's just kind of a waiting game to see are they actually going to put their men at risk and send them right up to these iranian tankers or are they going to do something where they decide to bring in more sanctions or try to take other measures but at the same time it is interesting to see that you countries that have been sanctioned the hardest by the united states right now have found a way to work together if it is coerced that way and not surprising not surprising rachel like you so much for that report thank you. sometimes the course of future history is changed with just a single action or even a single person's demise china's ambassador to israel has been found dead at his

home near tel aviv although the circumstances do not seem suspicious the incident is still bringing china's relationship with israel into the spotlight and the united states is not too happy about that artie's alex mahela which has the story. a seasoned diplomat china's ambassador to israel has died and in the chinese ambassador to israel to weigh died in tel aviv on may 17th and i leave with you according to preliminary diagnosis do weigh died unexpectedly of health and the specifics need further verification 57 year old do y. was found dead in his residence by an embassy worker shortly after forensic teams and the police were at the location carrying out the investigation into his death according to israel media there were no signs of violence at the scene it is believed that he died in his sleep most likely due to a heart attack but authorities are looking into all possibilities as the investigation continues do i served in china's ministry of foreign affairs for more

than 30 years and was married with one son his family was not with him in israel prior to taking his role in israel do i was a diplomat for china in ukraine for 3 years he arrived in israel to fill his latest role on february the 15th at which time he wanted to quarantine for 2 weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic although his placement was relatively short do i did make an impact as china's ambassador to israel here's a tweet from israel's former foreign minister is they all cots shocked to hear tragic news related to the sudden death of his excellence he do why ambassador do was a distinguished career diplomat and during his short time in israel had already contributed to the bilateral relations between the countries. according to the chinese embassy in israel in 2018 china's investment in israel accounted for 0.4 percent of all chinese foreign investment and 3 percent of all foreign investment into israel do i

was vocal about expanding this relationship but at the same time defended china from criticism when it comes to covert 19 in april do i told the hebrew newspaper israel high ohm in history it has happened many times when the causes of diseases were wrongfully blamed on a specific group of people which is despicable and should be condemned the disease is the enemy of all mankind and the world must fight it together when it comes to china and israel working together as with china's relation to the coronavirus the us has been very critical due wise death comes just days after us secretary of state mike pompei of visited israel in what appeared to be an attempt to convince the israeli government to limit chinese investment washington is not happy with israel's growing cooperation with china particularly with projects like the haifa port terminal which is being constructed and will be operated by a chinese company both pump aoe and president trump have ward as are all but if it

does not curb its ties with china the u.s. may have to cut back its cooperation with israel china and israel however seem to be committed to cementing a trusting relationship and that could even be seen as the investigation into do wise death continues. china is sending a special team to tel aviv to investigate the death and israel's foreign minister told his chinese counterpart that his ministry will help the chinese embassy with anything be a need regarding the passing of the ambassador for r t m alex mile of each. who those fascinating work by alex are it's interesting how to help this one man's death is kind of like brought all of these tensions and all of these interesting kind of behind the scenes moving and shaking to the forefront of the u.s. trying to combat china's influence in the world absolutely and the u.s. for its part is trying very very very very hard right now to make sure that china's role is diminished to make sure that they are punishing china to the fullest extent

and i think that this is one of those instances where we're probably going to see a backfire i think so too i mean do you think i mean i want to ask you do you think that like this idea that like we want to blame china for all of this and blame china for the virus is that just kind of more of a smoke and mirrors thing to kind of cover the longstanding summit going back to obama even bush of this push into the pacific into kind of countering china in that region i think that's 100 percent correct this has given the trump administration cover for something bad u.s. foreign policy has engaged in actually for a very long time unsuccessfully but at this point they think that if you can make another american people feel like the chinese created something toward their demise that it gives the white house it gives the any administration a lot more leverage in pushing against china in a way that we haven't necessarily thing ramped up before really interesting we've got to just understand that china is the big dog on the block you're not just going to get rid of them through other standard old school ways but it's going to get gross before it gets better that are to go to that is our show be to their remember

everyone in this world we're not told beloved enough so i tell you all i love you. and i'm in the ship watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and night everybody. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see the. markets are collective outcome interaction by human right markets it's
