papen tonio and this is america's lawyer facebook has created a new tool that they're pitching to corporations to help those companies bust labor unions before they even get started tonight we'll tell you all about this new product and how facebook might be using it to spy on you and your coworkers also tonight trump may boast that the american economy is 2nd to none but an international audit shows that workers' rights and protection of the in the u.s. is downright abysmal later in the show pollsters report a widening gap between donald trump and joe biden in the lead up to the 2020 alexion how much of this divide is driven by fear and anxiety and how could that

change between now and november don't go anywhere america's lawyer starts right now . facebook is trying to help other companies prevent unions from forming with a new 2 called facebook workplace the tools going to give employers an overhead look at what employees are saying to each other and i have ferrand cousins from the trial lawyer magazine and all around just great journalist who writes about these types of things to talk about it share and listen this this is. we have watched zuckerberg turn in from this this hero of the left 'd to this dark dark character who understands money matters right so now this is his new money plan talk about right it's this platform called facebook workplace and what it is is it gives an employer like wal-mart or starbucks those are 2 companies who are using this. their

employees can log into their facebook workplace and it's like a regular facebook interface except it's only for those employees so they can talk to each other about work related items they can you know talk about what happened on the shift and things like that but management and this is how facebook pitched it management at those companies has the ability to filter out certain words basically what they called content control by doing that by preventing certain words from popping up like in their presentation they said unionize the union i don't use those words they actually can control the flow of these conversations and almost influence the way these employees are thinking and speaking of this the you love this part of starbucks right starbucks of the they're they're the new progressive businesses young hip they're using the product ok you've got wal-mart you'd expect that campbell soup yeah they're using the product but here's the point

the ugly part of this story there's so many a good parts but one ugly part was they were using this they would get in a group of c.e.o.'s or whoever is make a management decisions and say look this is what we're selling you they were equivocal we're selling you this so you can spy people then they get caught right spokesman says oh no no no this was just an idea we haven't ever launched this well there's talk was well this is a feature only in early development you think well that's you know we already have companies that are currently using this fall with the intercept is the reporter here he knows what he's talking about he did a phenomenal job really an end to this as well as a brilliant reporter leaf and we did a story last week when he was victimized by survive on one of his coworkers because he said something that the coworker thought was politically incorrect this is a great reporter here so he's digging into this nobody else is are that right and he's the one who found. this information out he is the one who follows you know the

rabbits down all these different holes and that's how we know that this is not as facebook says oh it's just something we're kicking around maybe an idea for the future this is something that can easily be implemented right now some companies are already using it and they're using it to be the thought police of their employees they do not want them talking about certain things they do not want to you know see any criticism coming from them and if they do they could use that as grounds to you know maybe get this rabble rouser who wants a union get them out of their fire or move into a different shift with people who don't like unions ok now this is taken place when america is regarded i mean this was less it was an international trade union association that they did a look at all developing and developed world's all economies they said the united states is the absolute worst when it comes to protecting labor ok so here you have this organization that says hey we're going to make that even better one part of

the story i think is really interesting there's there's the shake up this this war taking place it was described the walk but the word the wording it's a it's a shake up between the snowflakes sensors at facebook and the new business types that are at facebook ok you got the way leftwing snowflakes versus the corporate types they're saying look we're a business we're not here for the fun of it where is that going to land. it's going to land on the corporate side 100 percent you know even if the people who don't like where facebook is headed and to be honest i wouldn't either you look at this it is turned from this you know hip cool social media company to just another corporate but he method has its hands in too many honeypots right now but it it's going to go with the money you know i think executives they're going to be the ones calling the shots zuckerberg is going to either continue to lose control over parts of his company or he's. going to become just another you know faceless but he myth

of corporate america and is is as unions disappear as workers' rights disappear our middle class disappears and so goes the story where you have 110th of 110th of 110th of one percent that have all the money in the united states trumps reelection campaign is in big trouble and he's now turning to the experts to turn things around the democrats need to start taking this seriously ok the turd blossom is back the turd blossom of course is karl rove and he was given that name interesting only enough by bush the bush family regard him as the turd blossom and there's a reason for it is an ugly little character is that slimy little ways that he goes about it he goes all the way back to the southern strategy with lee atwater where they actually won by scaring the bejesus out of everybody so now the turd blossom is back and he's telling he's telling he's telling trump shut up ok get control of what you're doing take it take it from there well obviously i mean i think

everybody at this point understands trump has huge problems with his reelection you know the rally this past weekend was a total bust but his current campaign manager brad karsh kale the guy is a grifter you know he is driving around in a brand new ferrari he's using his own companies to contract through for the trump campaign he is bilking donald trump for every dollar he can and now karl rove has come in it's likely parra scale will be gone in the coming days or weeks or months but not only as rove coming in as a savior of the campaign but also because the corporate donors in the republican party have wanted him to go in the past few days there have been reports that these republican donors are calling the trump campaign they're demanding answers we'll give you money if you do follow our playbook here's our playbook i've got david lamb coming on the show later brilliant briley. pollster always calls so call

rove this is the new plan law in order that the the sale is that dems have lost control of the entire country just look at chaz look at chaz in seattle 'd where look at many annapolis the the left has gone crazy in the dems are part of the that's the 1st sale the 2nd sale the dems are promoting burning down our country changing our culture and revamping our culture that's the 2nd sale the 3rd sale is is is is joe biden is his brain is fried and i think this is an interesting thing to just see the video they sent out where they have joe biden and obama running down a hallway and then they've got trump it looks he looks like he's ill walking down that ramp after he gave a speech that's part of the sale and that the dems are a disaster where it comes to the economy and more importantly dems want to do way with police that's the playbook that we're going to see from call rove promised

right and one of the things we're seeing right now from trump's people you know those aligned with the campaigns is they are all on the same message and that message right now this week is joe biden is hiding joe biden can't be seen in public because when he is he says stupid things and that's true he does but so does trump but that's why trump spent so much time at that rally talking about why he had to have help down that ramp because he's trying to say i am perfectly fine and mentally and physically fit joe biden is not that to me is the big message and rove knows he's got to get a handle on that because he had to handle george bush my god wasn't there at all he brought george george bush from an abysmal position so all these dems that think it's over right all these dems like call you know like what's his name we're at war . with a guy's name looks like a loser carville carlia but you know oh it's over that is so dangerous that it's

just so dangerous so as we go forward on this here's the here's the here's the difference. you've always had something i go with my gut i know what to say i go with my gut call rovers say and i'll be damned if you're going to go with your gut you're going to go to the play book and you going to stick by the play book you've got to see some discipline and that's an interesting development. has destroyed one of the best policies from the trump administration i mean one of the few things drug did right my god you have an appellate court that always sides with big pharma always i mean i as you know that's what we do right day to day in this law firm we go toe to toe with big pharma and the courts always side with big pharma lay this story out for us health and human services but the trump administration a little over a year ago came up with a new rules that aren't big pharma you're not going to lower your prices here's what you have to do you have to in your advertisements put the cost of

a $30.00 day supply of your drugs what you would charge somebody on medicaid or medicare for a 30 day supply of your drugs that's it just added to your advertisements and now this is the 2nd court ruling that says no you can't do that you can't have them put these drug prices on there because it's unfair and this decision was headed up by an obama appointee and a carter appointee joined in on this ruling i didn't know the well ok order to go we talk about this all the time we talk about the fact that we have become people watching this program how they can so tribal i'm a republican i can only think republican i'm a democrat i can only think about the democrat so now we're saying what the obama administration did with court appointments and we're seeing the result of that you realize this court actually said well we can't allow this because it's confusing it's going to confuse it's going to confuse consumers it's going to be harmful to consumers it's a tenuous argument and what they're saying is the reason for that is is because

medicaid and medicare sometimes. that prize to where they don't always pay that price we talk about drugs that have a 10000 percent markup and this damn court doesn't have enough sense to say that should be important for a consumer that you think this is exactly what consumers do need to know even if it's not the price they pay they need to know that there are people who have to pay that price or you know there's inhalers actually just had to switch off one because it was $500.00 a month breo which is what it was so i'll call them out right here by name breo almost $500.00 a month for me and people need to know that they need to understand because maybe their prescription because 75 percent of people take a prescription every day maybe there is a generic that's been out for 50 years and they pay $10.00 a month great these new drugs like like breo that has been out to long they're absolutely putting people through the ringer for no real number then they can trump

when you ran said i'm going to do this i want to take on the pharma industry he also said i'm going to take on big corporations that are sending business out of the country they're sending work out of the country we have to stop that so he's trying to deliver this one of the few things i mean i obviously got i can't even think of anything that this guy's done maining full this is one of the biggest problems in america is drug company raping consumers 10000 percent of companies like fives are in lurk in i could go on little eli lilly johnson and johnson riping consumers so all of a sudden the trumpet ministration says we're going to we're going to solve that we're going to get we're going to make you put your price up there in this court tries to find a way to get around and i wonder sometimes we always talk about the politics of the judiciary how dangerous it is when the judiciary comes political what is your take on this one i think it's absolutely obvious that these judges understand there was

no danger in this the only danger came into. form of danger to corporate profits merck and eli lilly might not have made as much money now they could have still made just as much ali this did nothing to look lower the actual price it just said you have to advertise it and these judges absolutely said listen. we may maybe we have corporate backgrounds live in nuns you don't have all these i was there that's nice all the judges are of corporate law and it's just you know you all made me really do the same for ok fern cousins thank you for joining me as usual these stories are important keep them coming ok thank you american workers are the backbone of one of the world's greatest economy yet studies are showing that ultimately they're at the mercy of employees of employers when it comes to the workers' rights and workers' protection that more when we come back.

it's fair to say many of the protesters on the streets of america want social justice nominally speaking that's a positive message the problem is that message is translated into concrete political demands and what it means if you don't agree with those political. international memorial awards has extended its deadline for submissions. all media professionals and eligible whether you are a freelance journalist work for alternative media or a part of a global news platform you can submit to your published works in either video format go toward go to auntie dot com and it or no.

of the world's richest nations the united states ranks absolute last where it comes to workers' rights are to resist antos joins me now to tell that story what can you tell me about the latest findings by the world's largest trade union federation. well the international trade union confederation has ranked the united states last among the world's us. 7 largest advanced economies when it comes to workers' rights now the ratings go from best to worst on a scale of one to 5 depending on compliance with collective labor rights the us has been given a rating of 4 which means that the government and companies engage in serious efforts to crush the collective voice of workers and put fundamental rights under threat america is the only group of 7 nation with systemic violations of rights in the workplace other countries around the globe that also bear for ratings include mexico nigeria congo and venezuela all of which have fewer resources than the

united states. what kinds of violations resistor or the most common against. right now what do you see is the true. what the global rights index has exposed is a breakdown in the social contract that governments and employers have with workers now this isn't only happening in the united states but on a global scale and in fact violations against workers around the world have reached a 7 year high with upward trends and restricting collective bargaining criminalizing striking and excluding workers from joining or establishing unions well it's not illegal to strike or establish unions in america workers who try to do so here are often retaliated against by employers you know back in 2017 a judge had ruled that tesla c.e.o. elon musk broke the law by threatening employees and retaliating against them for wanting to unionize another u.s. based company that does things like this is amazon you know they've been accused time and time again of firing workers who have led or participated in strikes. you

know one story that we did awhile back of that was really interesting is that there were actually doing plants there putting plants inside around workers to act as spies to figure out whether unions are developing to find out who who has a complaint it's really ugly process but the point to me that's important here is as we beat down the unions in the. states the american middle class is disappearing they're not around anymore and that's in what that ends up doing is moving to the point 0001 percent of the economy of americans holding on to all the money this is really it's really ugly story with this federation says look we looked at everything and this is bad i want to ask you this how has the coronavirus pandemic allowed companies to even advances for their own worker agendas. well since the cove in 1000 outbreak many companies have changed the rules to boost their own financial interests at the expense of workers now in some

industries employees have even been asked to sign away their rights to sue their bosses if they contract the virus on the job and the u.s. chamber of commerce is now lobbying for national liability protections but we really see violations of worker safety and health playing out in the meat packing industry thousands of pages of documents reveal how major meat packing companies like tyson foods national beef smithfield and others have failed to protect over 24000 workers from contracting the coronavirus emails and records show how meat packing plants were too slow to implement social distancing measures install protective barriers and have workers where masks meat packing companies have even used their protective their power to circumvent recommendations from local health officials and this has happened in other industries as well unfortunately coronavirus is giving these companies some sort of like permission to change the rules and they say that they're doing to protect worked or workers but they're really not. you know you've always said resume is going to get worse before it gets

better you're right thank you for joining me and let's continue doing these stories and talk about the beat down of the american worker thank you for joining me. thanks mike recent polls have shown a widening gap in support for president trump and joe biden is the country continues to deal with the coronavirus pandemic and widespread protests for the police reform bill he's. benefiting from all that power the political tide shifting during this time of crisis with me as media analyst david lamb one of the best in the country we can usually you know we can count on what you say you know i totally lost 'd confidence in the last cycle i mean really they can defend themselves all they want it was a it was a it was a disaster so let me let's talk about this what to you as you see these trends taken place i saw a fox poll of 1300 registered voters biden's 50 percent trumps 38 percent a 4 point change what does all this mean right now so the what it means is the

trump training is stalled at the depot a lot of biden buzz is barreling down the highway 4 percent bump biden continues that ascent he is even outpacing not only hillary clinton much more steady but as as his as his poll numbers continue to increase the question for trump from campaign trip supporters what has to happen to stall that that biden surge that continues to grow month by month ok karl rove turd blossom return we know his we know what his game plan that a bag of tricks his get bag of tricks law in order joe biden's brain is fried right the dems are a disaster for the economy if the dems when the entire united states is going to look like chaz up in seattle washington this is this this is his game plan yeah it is and so what what happens with this kind of movement fear tell me about the fear card how does it figure so here's what's interesting in the fox news poll what i

found really is to know than just the numbers is they were asked about passions and motivations take a look at these numbers perhaps so when it comes to the fear of the other candidate biden supporters 63 percent fear trump trump supporters 31 percent fear biden which basically nonexistent enthusiasm for candidate 31 percent of biden supporters . are excited about him 63 percent trump supporters are excited about him what has to happen is trump has to demonize joe biden make him scarier he's got to bring up the negative ad is that out of the negatives on biden and this this game plan we will see it played out i thought it was really interesting you know this thing about biden's brain being fried and we've heard that it's just part of a talking point right now to handle that did you see the ad where they have biden and obama running them away like we're healthy there's no problem there and then we have trump looking just decrepid walking down the ramp so that is the that's that's

part of the that's the beginning that is how about the burning of the united states that the united states is going to look like chavez up in seattle if these guys when the numbers tell us anything fear is definitely fear that also really affects those voters $65.00 plus those voters are so important because they show up at the polls and they have forever young voters the millennial get all the attention but they're much less consistent than those $65.00 plus voters biden has a 10 point lead which last election cycle trump won them by 8 percent election cycle before that mitt romney won those $65.00 plus voters by 12 so basically a $20.00 or they didn't like 61 percent. was the last day i'm doing ok so he has to pick up these others in fear is the best card you know we've got this radical left that supported by the democrats and it's who they are they're trying to burn down the country there's tearing down statues they're burning up cities gold i thought

is interesting trump says i'm going to let chaz play out to let the american public look at it and understand that this is what this is what the dems want for america is that part of the karl rove plan that that is definitely the plan and the poll numbers actually back that up a survey by 53860 percent of registered voters you know we've heard this term defunding the. 60 percent of registered voters opposed funding billie's democrats oppose 840-5234 republicans 8411 but get this another poll do you support defunding the police 34 percent of the country supports that 7 percent of republicans trying pass to stay on message karl rove is going to push him to do this a lot of time in tulsa was spent on a number of other things he was talking like a crazy may help if you listen to trump he was talking like a crazy man and the interesting thing is rove is already there rove heard him say look our guys actually said something like our guys right whatever that means you

are tougher than you snowflakes and you don't want to mess with us this is the president of the united states so off message he has to trump has to target and be disciplined to to ratchet up the fear of biden link him with the radical left with the riots with the protest with with with a lot the looting and the rioting right now he's trump is spending his time on all over the map he's got a center that biden is still down in the cellar yet and his handlers are so terrified to let him out of the cellar does he need to get out of the cellar maybe not as it will maybe not yet but the biden basement strategy he has gained 4 points down and i don't mean nothing ok so now trump wants more he wants to have more debates biden says 3 have you ever seen numbers change in his few as 3 debates will that move the needle with the clock is ticking and trump has to get more focused

and more disciplined but a lot just think of what's happened in the past 4 months there's been a great deal of change there's been a great deal of movement there is no reason to think a great deal more can change back the other way give me some comparisons isn't even is even appropriate to draw comparisons between the clinton disaster and what many people are going to say is going to be a disaster anyway to draw a parallel i don't. there are parallels because biden's lead is more solid more consistent more steady and clinton's was all over the map clinton with from month to month she went 10 points up to 2 and a half points down biden has not shown that tenacity but again everything has been about trump it has been about trump and the strategy just allow trump to sink his own ship and he's doing that ok so call rove has to get in his head he's got to shut up stupid he's got to shut up stupid dalan message i own message this is the message that in 6 points those 6 points i just gave that's the message that's it stick on it and then everything's going to be ok now i score is is trying to score

stand winning they're showing some signs of weakness i inside the republican party and especially on down in the senate races and all of the other on down the ticket and down the ballot there is concern that that's why i think he is getting pressure rove row it is back because he's worried about the senate race there is really regenerated other could go back real quick so it's kind of about trump but they're really looking to the senate there's some talk that maybe they flip the house i don't see how they do they need 17 what 1717 yeah i'm curious do you think trump's going to listen to rove no i don't know he's incapable he doesn't have he just doesn't have the mental where when i think that the g.o.p. establishment it's time they have to rally those troops chamber of commerce and to say you know what no more money until you start playing it is attention david lammy thank you for joining me we're going to do this every other week so that he wouldn't have to see what your thoughts are that's all for find us on twitter and facebook at facebook dot com slash r t america's lawyer you can watch all our team america programs on direct t.v.
