ever sane and will take you through all the twists and turns of the past we don't go anywhere america's lawyer starts right now. last week c.e.o.'s 'd from amazon facebook and several other tech giants appeared before a house panel to defend their business practices and answer some really tough questions joining me to talk about that 'd is fair and cousins from trial lawyer magazine fair and you know as i watched this i was surprised at one thing it was almost it was almost a bilateral kind of attack on me for it wasn't it was the you know occasionally it is nice to see them actually working together especially against this particular industry this is one that congress you know the federal government at every level has allowed to run rampant for 20 years almost what would a lot of these companies were 1st getting started and now they're trying to play catch up and i think that's part of the reason we see congress kind of uniting

together against this because they let these these giants now grow and grow and grow in absorb every piece of competition along the way or crush every piece of competition along the way and now suddenly they're staring down these behemoths because i didn't address it at the time so we had a 5 trillion dollar business that's what this is 5 trillion dollars you've got what's been described as a digital railroad problem what that means is we've always handled and i trust cases against the railroad against the steel industry we're not afraid to go in the past we have not been afraid to go after and i trust cases this department of justice has failed to do it and the reason is these folks are spending so much they're just spreading so much money around you know the easiest thing to me is to go after him on just absolutely say look you're too 30 right you're chapter to 30 right is gong to take it yeah absolutely and then for anybody who's not familiar

the $230.00 protection says that any of these giants specifically really though the social media once facebook twitter linked in so they're not responsible for anything that gets posted on their website. so if you go ringback on there and you say something horrible you issue threats the platform itself faces no liability over allowing you to say that and this is actually this goes back to a bill clinton's telecommunications act they included that as part of the telecommunications act the bill clinton signed into law and a lot of what we're seeing i think you have to take care of me bill clinton and i'm going to give this to you which is crazy what will not see a lot of the problems we see with these giants does stem from the clinton administration when he deregulated further the media industry it included these soon to be giants like it let's talk about that just a 2nd clinton comes in i swear to you it was about clinton and the democrats and

we're going to get all this favorable press if we do these things so what do they do go back to 19 was $180.00 i think there were almost 60 different independent news medias that covered the entire country now it's down to 3 ok that's where lettuce so this is they're looking at the same thing here you're looking at this this this this machine that appears to be above the law i mean we can they can just do whatever they were they create this nanny you know we now have this new nanny momentum we're going to decide what you can read and what you can't read if we find it offensive you can't read it we're going to censor it this is out of control and i was shocked not to see warm and fuzzy jack from twitter not on that weren't you well i i think twitter sits there not necessarily gobbling up as many of their competitors as some of these other folks and they are i believe for the most part kind of strictly in the twitter business they have issues that have

to be addressed but i think that's why they were probably excluded from this because with amazon google facebook and apple of course they also do. other pieces of industry and this was i think the primary focus on the antitrust which is which is huge amazon amazones everything you know amazon has security cameras from your home amazon has cloud computing amazon makes their own products and sells them giving those priority over competition who also sells on their website this judge this shouldn't be allowed in technically legally it's not ok but they did they think about this ok bezos comes in puts mom and pop operations out of business all over the country now that's not enough for b. zose bezos now says well i'm going to see what's selling really well we're going to look at our metrics what sells real well then we're going to build the same thing

and make it cheaper you understand so he's put he's put thousands and thousands of businesses out of business now it's not that's not enough for him now even the people that ship directly that make these products he says i'm going to copy what you do and i'm going to sell it cheap on amazon this guy is a machine that has got to be stopped in the d.o.j. needs to man up and say look we've done it on railroads we've done it on steel we've done a time after time banking we've done it a lot of different ways we've got to stop this well and it's funny too because these companies all try to use the same defense during the hearing and say listen but we're american we're american companies don't we want to make stuff in america don't we want to prevent the chinese they said from from taking over i mean they really dug their heels in on trying to claim to be the most american of americans but but really a lot of the stuff they make a lot of the stuff they sell it is in fact not coming from america at all let me run this by was almost a laughable moment they see oh c.e.o.

of google sir let me talk to you about your censorship let me talk to you about what you've done to the left and to the right. let me talk about how ridiculous your censorship is the guy comes back he said oh no it's a coincidence these are just algorithm mishaps did you hear that it's algorithm mishaps though there's nobody over it look it's happened to us hasn't it you saw to us that the saudi arabia right wanted a story on saudi arabia you did it i did it talk about that right we had a good segment we're talking about arms deals to saudi arabia google would not let it show up you tube pulled it which you tube is owned by google because they said it was hate speech yeah it was hate speech news of the day they said was hate speech well that's not the only time they've done it. they say i'm seeders dear friend of a we know who they're doing this to and they're doing it is it is the new nanny

culture and this guy with this with google he's the nanny and he's decides what's acceptable what's not it's got to keep pressure on their newly unsealed court documents put bill clinton on jeff epstein's pedophile island creating a world of problems maybe for a hero already certain for the former president looked up to now a lot of this was just speculation right and then finally we had a judge that had courage in the judge says you know what this is coming in we're going to we're going to unseat what's what's happened here and now this story is it's so credible i mean the you know let's go to jane doe 3 jane doe 3 comes out says look out and this was years ago brad edwards who we followed brad edwards as a friend he's a great lawyer down in south florida he's been he's been on this case forever and he says this was going on a long time bill clinton was one of the targets prince andrew was one of the targets dershowitz was one of the targets he mentioned the fact even in this that

maxwell met some of these people at. trump's palace now in the south florida where you know also i got to say it's also a testament to brad edwards about how serious he. takes the the confidentiality because we have had countless conversations with him we have to learn this through the releasing the docs so good on him for having all these morals and ethics but yeah we now know according to these documents bill clinton would regularly be down there on jeffrey epstein's island jeffrey epstein was a member of mar a lago which the organization said he never was but i think putting bill clinton on the island especially at this point in a presidential race i think that is really bad news for the democratic party because this is the kind of figure normally you would want bill clinton going out there and campaigning because he was like hillary was not but he was this is this is toxic this is poison house how is corporate media handling or are they are they

giving play to the fact it was dershowitz it was bill clinton it was prince andrew it was some of these other folks from wall street some of these high rollers from wall 'd street they're name names it was trump it was how are they handling it it's already gone it's already gone from the time they release these documents it popped in the news and went away just as quickly and that is what is so sick about this and part of it is because yeah these are powerful people and there's a lot more powerful people that have not yet been named and i honest to god believe that there are plenty of people in media today who know about these things probably because they were there or they know someone who was and they don't want to ruffle any feathers they know eventually just lane is going to start naming more and more documents are going to come out but at least at one point people like clinton and dershowitz they had some you know they had an argument you know you just own it and we have to go to africa this you know jane those jane doe 3 says no it wasn't just

we're having orgies on the island bill clinton was there with young girls 'd she didn't know 'd their name i saw him there he was flying alone. express at what point you say dammit i mean you know just tell us the truth i don't want to hear anymore denials tell us the truth is like the same thing we went through with him before i mean you know. trump trunk's got to come forward and say you know what yeah maxwell used to come to morrow largo i mean right and not try to skirt around this issue right there's too many photographs of both trump and clinton with epstein and maxwell these were not casual acquaintances they were friends and as epstein like to say clinton owes him some favors and we'd love to know why the paycheck protection program is with fraud it's an ugly story isn't it is this was the p.p.p. loans the ones that were meant to keep small businesses afloat and you know 'd we had already talked about all the big businesses coming in and snatching up all the

money but now what we're seeing is they were also doing that while committing massive amounts of fraud because a lot of what happens here according to the inspector general's report is that you do have these companies that create a shell company essentially just to name only type companies they apply for a loan they get a loan and only after the fact to the find out well wait a minute they didn't even have a bank account they didn't have any you know they didn't have anything this company doesn't exist and we just gave it all starts off s.b.a. doesn't want to release the material now now now the d.o.j. has to do something that's the problem that that's the that's the trap that they're in right now. coming up the 2020 presidential race is getting more bizarre by the week and will be running through some of those unusual developments when we come back.

i'll look forward to talking to you. that technology should work for people. must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders to conflict with the 1st law show your identification we should be very careful about artificial intelligence and the point of view screen is to trace transfer evidence here. currently on various chozen with artificial intelligence will some of the. the obama must protect its own existence which exists. in.

a short term ago an american airplane run by a hiroshima. state not kind any. go. for the one. chin it's. i like most americans growing up after the war the bombs were a great thing they ended the war they say hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides and that's what my grandfather always said was his reason for the decision. truman was hoping for a dual strategy one was to drop the bombs and hope that japan would surrender and number 2 the americans were trying to send a message to the soviet union there was american poor planning in october 145 and had chosen 20 targets and russia.

democrats aren't sure the joe biden can keep his lead in the polls if he has to debate donald trump on t.v. so fair and they're actually advising him don't show up don't do any but any but the visual i have of this and i've actually seen kind of a cartoon rendition is biden in a closet sweating and he's tear into is terrified and then out in the oval office is eating pain from china and then he's got a crisis in other words the point is if you're going to do this now in a debate what are you going to do when the rubber meets the road and we've got big problems that's the way the right's going to play this right is you know about a year ago new stories started coming out just kind of here and there sources inside the white house said the trip was considering skipping the presidential debates and this was at a time when it looked like it was going to be anybody but biden is the democratic

nominee and he said well it's because the networks are unfair to me now fast forward obviously 12 months trump wants more debates now because he sees who his opponent is and you have joe biden and the a stablished centrists writing think pieces saying no joe biden shouldn't go because trump is just going to lie and joe biden is better than that trump doesn't deserve to be on the city that really there are that is what they're saying i read it this morning it was sick because of it. but trump's going to lie therefore we're not putting little joey out in a debate stage that's that he or he's above that you see what the right's going to do with it oh absolutely every ad we see is going to be somewhere where joe biden is held like a little sissy sissy girl hiding in a closet while there's some threat to the united states going to say if you want even if he won't even debate trump now what's going to happen in the real world i

can't believe some. he says this is a good idea but is advisors tell him yeah this is a good idea don't show up it's to the point where on monday elizabeth warren had to come out and she says no no no no no he's he's going to the bank we i we you know we in the senate we're not telling him to not debate we want him to go forward with this because elizabeth warren is smart and elizabeth warren understands there is no good way for joe biden to back out of this and keep his dignity. that cannot happen. if they wanted this to actually be a thing they could have laid the groundwork long before we knew it was going to be joe biden but they didn't they could have done it all girly days of the pandemic but they didn't now it looks like joe biden's doing great because he's invisible the numbers are closing i don't know if you're watching the come over hundreds of zone the numbers are closing you know and we're still a pretty good ways out and for him to say no i'm going to sit here and you know bite my nails look what i saw bill kristol of all people this is bill kristol who

you might remember at the end of the hillary campaign he was one of her advisers so bill kristol comes out and says this is the best thing that could happen because we're going to be able to spin this is it won't be fair as you say trump is a liar the american public doesn't care anymore this is just for a media this is just for ratings in the media if you don't think that most americans want to see what happens on the stage because what's true been doing trump spin psion the guys say now he's saying he's cuckoo he's he's held up in his in his he's held up in his basement he won't come out this plays right into it will it when we were just having the democratic debates joe biden would say some horrible things there were some really embarrassing soundbites from him where he couldn't remember his own website name he couldn't remember certain events he was telling weird stories at the time and so he would only get high praise from. people

if he didn't screw up during the debate and that only happened once or twice and that's the only time he did well not because he said something great but because he didn't say something stupid and we're looking at 2 men this would be i would love to see it because this would be insanity this would be everybody's going to want to see is like it's like a mud wrestling match. but if you say no hey i want to show up and then they try to justify it with that nonsense those knots of the public doesn't care this is all for a media trumps going to live how stupid you know what i'm going to tell you go back and look at the last several before obama take a look at the advisers they were involved in making calls here they have the democrats have a knack for bringing in these esoteric thinkers the don't understand what's going on in middle america that's what's happening here again last week from baxley bragged about pushing low income americans out of suburbs i didn't make that up he

actually twittered look you know if you if i'm elected president you don't have to worry about low income folks come in and you don't have to worry about crime i couldn't get my head around that what's your reaction to it well this you know this this is the proverbial dog whistle it is what this is he is trying to kind of harken back to the fear what he's doing in a different way because you know 2 weeks ago was in joe biden's america you're going to have these riots you're going to have all these horrible people coming to your neighborhood they're trying to new things so now he says ok will that didn't scare you what about the thought of everything you've worked for suddenly it loses value your home is worthless because all of these popo moved into your neighborhood and suddenly everybody looks at this and they say whoa oh my did you really just say that because this isn't you know the 1950s anymore. apologetics variant

it was. yes you know i doubled down yes he's been in 2 separate occasions i mean so you're you've got the president and you're right look he learned something and he thinks he learned something from lee atwater 'd and donald cigarette ian call rove and all these folks they came up with the southern strategy this is just another variation not a southern strategy it's the same thing they used against you know dukakis it's the same thing that it always comes up it's always the go to question is whether they go to work so if you recall 'd we had. we had david lammy who's a pollster on the show a couple weeks ago he says he doesn't think it's working but i'm watching just watch the poll it's closing in it's close especially in the in the in the battleground states. the party is working on their platform for 2020 and so far they're voting. which can say that they're voting against the popular proposals to

appease their corporate donors give me the list top of the list to try to go after corporate donors on wall 'd street what is the platform say no medicare for all no legalize medical marijuana which both of these are programs that are supported by nearly 2 thirds of the public i think legalizing marijuana is even higher i think that's almost 3 quarters of the country says yes do this but democrats and they're framing it by the way as their their appeal to the suburban housewife you know trump had his appeal biden's doing his hey listen i'm not going to force you want to this health care i'm not going to let your kid smoke weed i'm not going to let anything different happen to your life i'm the one who's going to preserve you they always pander to the mythical suburban housewife but what's really happening is you said this is the way to keep the donors happy to let the donors know health care

we're not going to make you lose money because marijuana is legalized and people can use that as a you know that given treatment for so many things that's what this is of ok so this is how usually happens we have done we've been talking about this topic for so long democrats come out on social issues they're good on gender they're good on raise their you know they're always out front on social issues but what they always get away with because nobody pays attention is what they do to us on money issues like look you've got the vast vast public that says it's a good added to have universal health care where one of the few nations in the world in the industrial few industrial nation we might be the only one i'm not sure but we're one of the few that don't have any personal health care when you consider an advanced industrial nation is. what we would be considered right so so so the democrats come out and say yeah we don't want we don't want universal health care right you know the way i framed this when i had 1st talked about this was the fact

that the democrats came men not having any opposition they didn't have opposition from the public they didn't have to worry about an opposition party they came in with nothing but themselves and they still compromised they compromise with nobody there was nobody to make a deal with and they still somehow lost the deal ok so listen here they think they're ahead right now with biden right and so that if you think you're ahead why don't you go ahead in reach and do stuff that might actually move the ball for the american public for example on marijuana 76 percent of democrats 76 percent believe that marijuana should be legalized but oh no we can't do it why because biden doesn't want to do that's one of his that's one of his pet peeves i don't want to legalize marijuana but i just always amazed at the lack of courage the democrats are always willing to show when they know that if it any time this is the time when

they can show it get 30 seconds won't you read you know do people like to say well the democrats are going to fight back against republicans the democrats won't even fight back against themselves they are not strong enough to do this they are not strong they don't care enough to come out with a backbone and say no listen this is the right thing the public actually likes it democrats and republicans alike let's do it do you know how many kool-aid drinkers are going to come out. akhi for saying that because it's all tribal they can't think outside that little tribal thing the mess in d.c. delivers on the nightly programs this is all they can think about you want to expand your thought process a little bit fair and cousin thank you for joining me thank you that's all for tonight find us on twitter and facebook at facebook dot com slash r t america's lawyer you can watch all our. american programmes on direct t.v. channel 321 and also streaming live on you tube and be sure to check out our tease new portable app where you can watch all your favorite shows on might happen tonio

stake a claim any money being a little crass and to clear the one how until you do know that the chin it's. like most americans growing up after the war the bombs were a great thing they ended the war they say hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides and that's what my grandfather always said was his reason for the decision. truman was hoping for a dual strategy one was to drop the bomb and hope that japan would surrender the number to the americans for trying. send a message to the soviet union there was american poor planning in october at 1945 and had chosen 20 targets and russia. you know how can you explain love i've been to 82 countries i've given 12 but i

came here and on those 3 days i just filled with hope. and he kept pretty isn't it sick show that. i made my decision to come here because i felt in you i could build a new life you see it at the. to put his name. was a free man but i think god decided that this man is no good to be free while pro-style it if it all. ended here i'll where my one dream is that all my children 'd find the same kind of happiness i do. i love my home i love cold weather i like the culture i like the history i like everything about it almost. thought i was i know that. i am a russian fama. and.

live from the world headquarters of the r.t. america in our nation's capital this is the news with rick sanchez. i got to run am rick sanchez i want to welcome all of you who are watching us all over the world including those of you who are watching us on your phones on the portable t.v. and i want to begin by showing you remarkable images taken by satellites provided by the russian space agency or also calls here it is to take a look at this picture the image that you see on top see the dividing line is the port area and bay route what it looked like before that massive and still somewhat

mysterious blast that occurred yesterday while we were on the air while in the area below 'd the line that's what it looked like after the explosion and this area that you see right there you see that right there there's nothing there right i mean look at the size of the buildings that were essentially taken out just prior to that and just to show how it affects communities concentrator focus on that area right there you see that i mean those are homes that were 234 stories high right there you see them before the blast they were essentially leveled gone. that's remarkable stuff. now i want to show you what it looks like at ground level and why people there are still really dealing with the impact of what happened here yesterday morning and afternoon look at this look at the images this is what's left on the ground and i'm basing. i mean you can begin to understand the

magnitude of this explosion more than 100000 people have lost their homes hundreds and hundreds more are either dead or missing they can't even find them because of this blast. because the look on these people's faces. estimates of those injured range in the $5000.00 maybe $3000.00 or more and then there's a concern over the dangers of the residue and the toxic gases remember what you're looking at there appears to have been caused by an explosion of tons of ammonium nitrate which is highly explosive and toxic so we're left now with the question is right what is it is it possible that it was sabotage what are the usual suspects saying you know has ball israel what are they saying about this we have team coverage on this still puzzling story right here on the news with rick sanchez where we believe it's time to do news again.

there is our list of the questions we think you'll be asking tomorrow after watching this newscast today what happened in beirut and who might be responsible is universal basic income becoming a reality in one american city and how have politics and sports influence one know one another over the years the controversies let's ask larry king. we're going to begin with what is being called a historic if not almost cataclysmic explosion in beirut right now the culprit seems to be the mere accumulation of ammonium nitrate stored in huge quantities for years at the port there in beirut and if that's the case by the way that in and of itself seems horribly negligent think about that what is ammonium nitrate you may not know look at this building that's ammonium nitrate this is the same agent

ammonium nitrate that was used by domestic terrorist timothy mcveigh when he did this when he used that agent to blow up the federal building the alfred p. murrah building in oklahoma city killing by the way many many children who are nursery and get this this ammonium nitrate i'm talking about it's almost 50 percent as powerful as t.n.t. it's used as an agent to make fertilizer and it can go off with just a cigarette but that's left on the ground so was it an accident was it sabotage was it ignorance it was or a combination of all of these things that caused this explosion. we have team coverage of the story for you today but i've got official michael maloof is an expert on this particular region r.t. correspondent paula slayer is a middle east correspondent for us and ron your colleague is an independent journalist who was on the ground there in beirut where the blast occurred and that's where we're going to begin with ron you know because she was there and she

can share with us what's being felt there now and what it was like to be there when it happened runnion take it away. well to be there and happened it was extremely terrifying. like an earthquake and then the windows blew out and then there was a loud explosion and it was very frightening luckily i wasn't injured but a lot of people were i was at the hospital yesterday and it was just complete panic and chaos and people searching for their loved ones. every single building residential commercial restaurants shops hotels nothing was left untouched in beirut there's just broken windows and apartments everywhere it's completely devastating that the damage is widespread in a way like no one's ever seen. and today i mean today the cleanup began people started cleaning up of course there's theories about toxic fumes in the air but you know there were a lot of people apparently from the south of lebanon who came up to try and help

clean up the mess. you know i spent the day cleaning up my own apartment there was a lot of there was damage inside my apartment lots of glass everywhere luckily i wasn't here to get hit by any of it but just a really really frightening day and now you know people are asking questions how did this happen. and it appears that you know it was known since 2014 when this substance was confiscated that it's been stored at the port in beirut * and people are really angry about that because there are regulations on how to store or ammonium nitrate that you know to make it to make sure it's safe and the lebanese government for some reason decided to store it in a very dense and the most densely populated area of the country at the port the the economic lifeline of the country and now that's destroyed so there's a lot of anger in the streets at the authorities thanks so much we certainly appreciate you giving us a 1st person perspective of what it's like on the ground paula i want to bring you into this conversation because as you know with

a story like this if you and i were to go right now on social media or on the googles as they say we would find all kinds of stories all kinds of accusation. this. terrorism is real what all or. in this. people. about their possible complicity in the uk. well in my comments by saying that we are hearing from the interior ministry in lebanon urging people not to speculate the prime minister saying that an official investigation has been launched and that those responsible will be brought to book but of course that hasn't stopped the speculation from happening at the 2 main culprits are people initially pointed fingers at what israel and hezbollah and israel almost immediately came out saying that they were not responsible in fact israel has since issued. party mediators an offer of humanitarian and medical assistance saying that it can treat up to 2000 lebanese in its hospitals the 2

countries technically at war but israel making that gesture and as of yet no response from the lebanese side now why speculation and why fingers pointing at israel of course is that israel in the past has carried out aerial bombings in lebanon at warehouses belonging to his but now we know that ammonium nitrate was in this warehouse what is not clear is what was it doing there and who was of belonging we also don't know what was the trigger so some were suggesting that it was an explosion that was caused by the israelis in retaliation against hezbollah but as i say both israel and also have denied that the other finger pointing is against hezbollah there's some speculation that his below is responsible for storing this ammonium nitrate his blood has denied this and so there's nothing to back up the speculation that it could have been his blood group of course this is what the investigation needs to determine is why were these why why why was this

ammonium nitrate of which we know 2750 tons in this warehouse in the 1st place and who was responsible for it will probably bring you into. this conversation i know that you have a lot of folks there in beirut with their ears to the ground as to what's going on . is it possible that it may have been a combination of ignorance. and sabotage and carelessness that caused this. but it's probably all 3. the fact that it was stored for for quite a number of years i think 5 or 6 years and nothing was done about a quarter 37 a day get arrested or under house arrest right now there had been appeals to judges there to try and get it moved and the past nothing has happened. as to speculation i mean i have a friend who has a business that you can look go out on the balcony and see all that entire area his entire office was absolutely smashed the balconies caved. have

fallen down he had to take a lot of his employees to the hospital so it really touches a personal cord at that point they said also that i was also can i just ask you a question and i don't know in the control room of we have video of the explosion let's all watch it together if we have it because the thing i want to point out of we're able to get this video of the explosion is there doesn't seem to be as we've seen in the past paula michael the. any other discharge other than the accident where the explosion seeming to emanate from the ground itself we don't see any missile fire we don't see anything else around there that seems to have. if you'll pardon the phrase stimulate the explosion michael i'll let you have the 1st word although let me let me respond to that i have had 3 2nd dependent sources tell me that and i'm one up in germany which is just up the coast from beirut in fact

you can see the city is unique from beirut a woman told me that 2 low flying jets came right over. just before the explosion i had a and i got another video this morning of people looking up in the air listening hearing subjects fly over and it's really just why you were there all the time and then all of a sudden you see this this wave the shock wave it and everything is a literate and and a 3rd source gave me information showing that i'm touching picture of a missile coming in so i think these things need to be investigated i'm not saying that they're that they are actually there i'm just saying that these are things that have to be looked at i understand the minister of interior is denial about but these things have to be looked at very very seriously i don't follow this and there was actually was too much there was to pop all of giving us the official word that she's getting as a journalist from the officials there and that's what we want her to do. let me

just bring you in you were there you talk to the people i imagine you talked a lot of other people but anybody also anything but you find curious at this point . you know in the aftermath of a lots of explosions and all countries that experienced them people often say oh i heard a jet. so far i've seen no evidence of that and i experienced it myself i didn't hear any airplanes furthermore you know. 'd people close to have been saying that this was an accidental general security in lebanon is saying it's and the israelis are denying it usually if the israelis are behind something they don't give an official denial they just kind of let you believe what you want to believe and they can sort of take credit for it but they're denying it. so it does seem to be that this was an accident and furthermore you know the fact that lebanon has an extremely dysfunctional government it's like i'm neal liberal dystopia

in lebanon where there's really no rules and regulations and the government is a power structures made up of people who just are we believe examines you know. you know and you're not the 1st person to say that it's been fired by the situation as far as we understand with some of the problems that they're having there but paula let me bring you in and i want you to have the last word on this what happens in a situation like this where you have so much scuttlebutt going about in a story with so much attention on it and so many deaths involved and do you fear this will turn into some kind of reaction in the middle east. well no at this stage in the middle east it's not that it's going to turn into any kind of reaction what we have seen is an outpouring of support for the lebanese government as as we are in now the seems to be a consensus that it was an accident the israelis and hizbollah denying it and that seems to be taking the mainstream understanding in terms of what is happening and

and so we have countries such as egypt canada the united states united kingdom right across the international community offering to support of course you might be aware that russia is sending 5 planeloads of aid and support so there is an outpouring of support and that's coming from the international community and from the middle east so at this stage a lot of people seem to be adhering to what we were hearing the official word from the jordanian government is let's wait and see what in fishel investigation determines michael bohl if you're biting your lip to get in i'll give you 10 seconds because that's all i got. yesterday trump said he after talking to generals that it looked like an attack it was pressed on that he reinforced that you know people are saying all come on that's true that's true but you know he's the one who said he was being spied on that no one believed in. and my thanks to all 3 of you important conversation the one that people should hear

otherwise they will feel like something is being a problem it's all out there and transparent and in the open thank you to all 3 of you we are pretty. the information on the devastation that we're seeing in beirut we're going to be right back this is the news reports that. dear thank you for finally changing the channel understand you're tired of networks learn new with you. as they are. no matter what. you know me 'd i'm famous for my views. yours truly scottie 'd nell hughes. how to read out of read turn on the

t.v. on the about the world was happening around me i see shows on the screen in last every t.v. because of fake news narratives the steady state theory of who may be cool little to no business with tom after the bomb brick by brick pool is that they could play me off there in the store but i found a network that oh. please take a live news anywhere you can place an elegant think straight on line and video library with a built in search engine it will sit right in your pocket it's free interactive just architecture's dollars will talk to 8000 the president's text or videos uploaded every hour so what are you waiting for plucked up the phone calls if you.

call the feeling to be something. everyone in the world should experience. and you'll get it on the old the old. the old according to gesture. welcome to my world come along for the ride. hey welcome back i'm rick sanchez now to pittsburgh where the mayor has now just his city is going to be participating in a program that's going to receive funding from twitter the twitter of c.e.o.'s name is thought and jack dorsey he says he is going to make his residence eligible to get hundreds of dollars in guaranteed monthly income right remember that in the

presidential campaign there are. presidential campaign about barbara's agent came up pittsburgh is the latest city to launch a guaranteed income program from twitter's co-founder. of the charges explained how this was going to work. pittsburgh where bill could you tell us says that residents who qualify will start receiving $500.00 a month of guaranteed income a move he says will help benefit their lives today pittsburgh the latest of 15 cities to launch a guaranteed income program to help residents the money used to start the program coming from a $3000000.00 donation made by twitter c.e.o. jack dorsey in july to help those struggling during the economic crisis brought on by the coronavirus pandemic dorsey said in a tweet earlier this month this is one to look close the wealth and income gap level systemic race and gender inequalities and create economic security for families so far dorsey's gift is benefiting cities including atlanta seattle and los angeles whose members formed a network of mayors for

a guaranteed income and initiative that was 1st led by the mayor of stockton california michael tubbs in 2019 when he gave $125.00 or 6 cents 500 dollars a month for 24 months now according to reports this summer early indications show that the money given to residents has had a positive influence not only on the receivers but also on their communities so now other cities across the country are looking at implementing similar ideas meantime in pittsburgh there's been no word yet on how many residents will receive payments reporting the news for rick sanchez trinity shabazz r t. 3 body are we going there. i'm sure we'll be hearing a lot of stories on this conversation but we'll leave it where it is right now because we want to turn a subject something else that's pretty cool history is replete with examples of sports and politics and politics mixing in a very controversial but important way there was the famous hitler embarrassed but

provided by none other than. jesse owens it was an african-american beat the crap out of all the nazis on the ground there was 1968 john carlos and tommie smith shocked the world in mexico city with that which you're looking at right there it was amazing what an iconic moment that was and we you know even as a kid i remember looking at the screen going really wow and then came muhammad ali he said he was going to go to vietnam at the vietnamese have never called him the word why should he go kill over shoot him. he went to jail more recently there was calling capper nick and his famous nero which cost him his career and millions of dollars. but now something different is taking place just in the last couple of nights i don't know if you guys have had a chance to watch the n.b.a. but the n.b.a. is actually embracing as the league everybody black white the owners the coaches all the players and the league to gather embracing black lives matter. joining us

now the host of politicking and my colleague larry king to talk a little bit about what's going on larry i mean it's a gets an interesting perspective the way this thing has played out and where we are now compared to the things that you and i have seen in our life isn't it never saw anything like this how when this broke with the killing in minnesota and the way to listen lasted this is a stretch that some believe will it's going to go right into the election campaign and when it hits november. the n.b.a. has to be saluted in my opinion for getting on this 1st they have outstanding leadership the national best was associated and of course they are a league that is predominately black. but still and so amazingly unity that they're showing in this you know far back politics and sports go i was 5 years old at the time but match yeah we had been germinated fight game the vi joel or so we've got

that picture and hello which are here where he had letters for american where we've got that picture of schmeling joe louis beat max schmeling schmeling whether or not our buddy represented the nazis right. no i'll correct that one schmeling beat him the 1st time shelling me lewis in a fight in new york and it was no one believed that they had a rematch and lewis not doubt schmeling early but schmeling went on to be strongly anti nazi are spoke against them as it causes he lived in europe and he was quite a fighter but there was politics reigning because germany was beginning its invasions of various countries and he was this german heavyweight who did defeat joe louis in that 1st fight. you know it's funny i think back to. how different it was 1968 i'm a little kid i'm sitting there in miami with my mom and dad my dad and i watch sports together all the time and suddenly when we saw tommie smith and john carlos

raised their hands and at the time the country was going through all kinds of strife and it was not embraced in fact i think the networks looked at it as an embarrassment everybody attacked them if they did it today they would be embraced. so it's going to he's a jump from times all right and this this story keeps going where it doesn't have been slow it's constant and every day there's a story regarding it you can't you can't break away from it if you're into sports you know all about it plus that the virus is affecting baseball baseball said the cancel quite a few games then i should is going to be n.f.l. and mad as politically and twined to what do what do you do have you a commission of the n.f.l. and the president says you got it you got to play. you what do you do you know a. lot going on rick yeah i will tell you this though and you know

just to make me feel good my minnesota twins are right now the best team in baseball thank you very much sorry. you know those are scrolls behind is colorado yes they are but companies look good or a colorado looks good and then of course the yankees the best team that money can buy larry king i love our conversations always do i could name your egg i was going to talk for a good seat i just said rare just talk about everything you know we've worked together we've done so many things but what he's saying is true about sports and we're seeing something happen now you know this is your valley where you cover the world of sports and we're seeing things we haven't seen before tiger woods making headlines today for example yes yes one sport that is able to go on of course the p.g.a. so we're seeing golf and put their 1st major of the season because it was delayed of course it was supposed to happen in may but the u.s. p.g.a. championship is happening august 6th tomorrow in san francisco and tiger woods of course going for his 16th major now and he's out there practicing that was earlier

today looking good looking like he's healthy and ready to get back in there but of course he was reluctant to join the tour of yeah the 1st few events because the ones he doesn't have money exactly now that you're well off for the rest of us you know i'd be other guys examine it i need to work exactly as don't get a salary. they only get paid if they play if i play well right and of course endorsements for tiger people like him but you know he's chasing those majors of course jack nicklaus has 18 and so he he's right behind him that 15 right now but you know he talked about it was interesting how it was to play a few weeks ago at memorial in his 1st tournament back without fans so take a listen to what he has to say about really generally by time you make the back 9 there's thousands of people out there on the golf course. waiting for the leaders to tee off but that never never happened so that's just a new world we live in and we just have to get used to it most of times when you go from green to t. people yelling or. trying to touch him that's. you know that part is

different as far as energy and while i'm competing and playing no that's that's the same up on pretty intense when i play and pretty into what i'm doing. locked and it doesn't seem to affect mr woods there with no fans but one thing that is being affected is and i think larry made mention of this when we're talking football is going to be affected and i think you're hearing. the very 1st clarion call yes the 1st f.b.s. school so football bowl subdivision basically division one a school now is is officially suspending their college football season they announced today and that's going to trigger a chain reaction across the college football landscape of course because now there are an independent school they left the a.c.c. of course conference but all those power 5 conferences the big 10 and they're going to conference only schedules now in a shortened season like the big 10 outs there are 10 games shorten to get all the seed if at all if it all of course. they also said today they have by august 21st each individual division to decide if they are going to have a season so that's coming up but yeah it's not looking good for college football

this seems to be the 1st domino to fall in college you know it's a great opportunity if i had a division 2 or division 3 league yes i would make sure since they don't make any money on fans anyway because nobody goes to division 2 or division 3 games or i would do a deal with the s.p.n. or some other outfit to broadcast my games and make millions of dollars yes because broadcast is where the money is but you have to get the eyeballs there to want to watch those schools division $2.00 and $3.00 schools and in order to get a deal to broadcast golf fans with nothing on television but division 3 or division 2 would watch division but also if they're not going to put the players from the power 5 converses at risk for the scope of 19 they're not going to do with the smaller schools they're going to carry less i think i wouldn't be surprised mark my word if they're smart they're going to play that and it's a good idea always and always a conversation you and i you know going back and forth on things i think you might be wrong on this one i. moved thanks so much for being with us better appreciate you being there in the members. it's always been

a right. all across the board trying to sit down in the polls and not just by a pointer to traditionally incumbency alone is enough to win the election but this time around it is a race trumped me and let's be clear this has little to do with. how we get.

summer so look where every summer we look at. all the problems they cover on every other month of the year now today recovering to globalization valorisation china for cation process which is game speed under tromp but what set in motion really on december 11th 22001 when china became member of the world trade organization time now to turn to chris fenton author of beating the dragon.

a q c of its revenue model registers dogs and registers litters so it's involved transactional relationship with those breeders and obviously the ones producing the most dogs are the largest still breeders so why is it going to crack down on those large scale breeders and sacrifice the revenue from a rigorous program that stops people from confining animals to care exposé them to extremes of the cold if they're going to lose revenue the american kennel club prides itself on being the only pure bred registry in the united states with

an ongoing routine kennel inspection program with a dedicated team of field inspectors casey says that it inspects channels but they don't make any of those inspection records available. they say that they've got rigorous standards but they really don't know what those standards are real terms they say that they kick people out we don't really have a comprehensive record of when they're doing that or what the consequences are even if they can still keep breathing and they can still keep operating so what's the value of their inspections program there in foresman efforts for all we know are completely meaningless we don't know what they even inspect when they go into these facilities because they don't make their inspection records public quite frankly if they were meaningful inspections there would be no reason not to make them public.

while the a k c boasts of a rigorous inspection program in 2011 only $1500000.00 of their $59000000.00 in revenue was spent to employ just 9 inspectors across the entire united states. big casey is a group that says it's the dogs chap in but in practical terms is consistently leading the fight against efforts to establish humane dog breeding standards in the states of the federal level. over $5000.00 kennel inspections last year. the american kennel club. we make all this possible because you make us possible. just turn your dog the only u.s. registry that matters is an a.d.c. dot org and or ever we advance that sort of legislation radical not far

reaching just basic fundamental anything that a pet owner would think is a minimal standard of care the casey opposes it since 2009 the a k c as opposed to over 100 different bills regulations or ordinances that protect dogs in 2012 alone the a k c opposed to nebraska state bill that would require commercial breeders to have regular on site visits by a veterinarian a louisiana state bill that would prohibit all dog owners from stacking crates a rhode island state bill that the a k c deemed dangerous that would make it unlawful for dog owners to keep a dog confined in a pen cage or other shelter for more than 14 hours a proposed ordinance in shelby county tennessee that would make it a violation to leave a companion animal unattended in a vehicle for more than one hour when the temperature is above 70 degrees. we're

below 35 degrees why is the american. dog's best friend opposing this legislation that says that. you've got to have a vet examine these dogs or you can't breathe them every single cycle or you can't have more than 50 breeding females at an operation why would a group well they have all that because they're making money from those large scale operations. while the public does not have access to a k c inspection report many pet stores across the united states emphasize to their potential customers that their facilities are a k.c. approved and inspected one such company is pet land the largest chain of pet stores selling puppies in the united states almost petland are independently owned and operated the company's relationship with the a k c is a central focus in nearly every store. it's naaman usual to see a dog that's a k.c. registered in

a pet store. casey could be targeting this major distribution channel saying we're not going to endorse pet stores if we see our dogs in those stores because we don't feel that is a good means by which a dog is being raised. and unfortunately had not taken that position. were your thoughts will. survive. so i thought. it was you really don't like. anything that's what it is. i actually bought my 1st dog from pathway and in my head i was saving that dog from the cage only because it was way too big for this small cage it was a there was poop and he just like sick and i went back to visit and visit and visit well there is very pushy if you've ever been in a paddling and they want you to buy the dog no matter what and you know they give you all the. options i would visit the dock it just started me looking through the

cage and i call if you want to go to a puppy play really and then they'd give you a toy to get to play with this dog and he started falling in love with the dog and then you're broke and so they're like here's a credit card if you will help you pay for the dog and he would really love to go home with you and so they're trying to play on your emotions and on your pocketbook your reasoning apparently in store with your family and you can't help but fall in love. for your family and now maybe you are asking yourself where did this puppy come from let's take a look at the jury when puppies make before writing our story. while pet land maintains that it does not purchase from substandard breeders there's no doubt that the vast majority of puppies sold in their stores come from large scale commercial kennels where the parents of those puppies will spend their whole lives in a cage. 2009 the humane society of the united states released an exhaustive investigation

into shipments over 3 months of more than $15000.00 puppies across the country the report determined that 95 percent of the puppies in pet land stores come from large scale commercial kennels and i work at a gym right next to a pet land and i see it all the time and i even stopped and said you know even to a young couple you know with kids hey beef do me a favor before you go in there you know google puppy mills oh we know a popular as i said why are you going to buy a dog. i know rescues that have puppies right now what are you looking for a lot of the dogs that are purchased in pet stores we we end up with them because the families can afford their medical care they have some birth to factor some chronic problem or. parvo or anything that these animals can pick up in the actual mill and they always seem to be you know we can state always most of the puppies that are coming from these large scale factory farming kind.

operations are being sold in pet stores so when you go into a pet store and you see that beautiful little puppy that's a jumping out and or really wants the attention from you most people have no idea that the mother and father are back somewhere any factory farm type a setting where it can be on horrendous it's not just pet lamb franchises they get the vast majority of their inventory from the primary states for puppy mills independent pet stores choose to seek out the same states a stark example of the supply chain leads directly from holmes county ohio to a single pet store in patterson new jersey. petite pups inspection reports obtained by ohio voters for companion animals show that in 2012 over 300 puppies from puppy mills and holmes county were sold wholesale to d n g only one reason would seemingly compel the owner of d n g to seek out breeders located over 7 hours away the price for

breeders simply selling to a pet shop that's not about placing that animal with a family for the rest of the life that's really about the money paths or poppies are puppy mill puppies because a reputable breeder somebody who cares about their animals wants to know where they're going and he breeder that is in it for the love of dogs and they they love what they're doing they're good breeder they're going to have as many questions for you as you have for them no good reputable breeder will sell a dog or any internet or sell a dog to a broker to sell to a pet store that's a good breeder or one of those who you are you always have to go and see the parents of the dog that you're purchasing if a breeder does not want you to see the conditions that the parents are living in you're almost guaranteed it's a puppy mill. this

is largely a marketing sort of enterprise were people can register the litter as the puppies and you get the halo effect that this is in any case the register dollars or litter when in reality it has no practical meaning when it comes to animal welfare they see papers mean absolutely nothing you know and when you come push comes to shove a hasty when they're backed into a corner was a mess and as i said do with humaneness or the quality of the dog only means who the mother and the father there are in favor of breeding dogs and the more dogs that are bred the more money they make if those dogs are registered with the case a for years and years and years in fact even to this day registration income from registration fees and puppies are subsidizing the dog shows that the a hasty puts on because the registration fees for dog shows me the amount of money

for the expenses of putting them on so historically they have always subsidize their dogs just for registering fees so this is why they're going to see enough of their own money and that's what i always say when people go to the westminster dog show go in there knowing that this show is being subsidized by the quality of puppy mills because the a c. will not stop papering dogs from commercial dog breeders and they oppose legislation when you go to improve the standards of care my 2010 missouri had an estimated 3000 commercial dog breeders and was the largest supplier of puppies to pet stores across the country the nearly 6500 breeders with the u.s.d.a. license was more than the next 3 states combined in the hopes of improving the lives of dogs living in missouri puppy mills national and state animal welfare organizations focused on a ballot initiative that would later become known as proposition be over 190000 signatures from. missouri residents were collected and the measure made it

to the ballot in the 2010 election bang. god no team no crowd. no

shots no. patching the bell jakob. no firsts with us. which your thirst for action. form when all choked small seemed wrong all right all rolled just all. the old baby yet to shape out just being comes to educate and in again training equals betrayal all. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. a more robust moreover would be one in which we do business as usual but guess what

. we prepared for. a lot cheaper at reduced mobility it's a lot cheaper than having. probably was something that was in the works for many years because missouri is the puppy mill capital of the united states probably simply sought to impose humane breeding standards and limits on the size of the puppy mills you know what i started out here paying for all this stuff and whether churn pictures of puppy mills and things like that after 2 weeks i just forgot all that literature it was a copy of prop because it wasn't that people wanted to support above the bills or call the dogs it was says this is terry it that it affected other things it was a campaign of fear and misinformation fear that he was going to

mysteriously morph into a ban on all rearing of animals and agriculture you know they said that this would affect farm animals you know and and of course when they were confronted on it and showed the wall they said well it's a slippery slope but it was still continue to go into rural areas and convince everybody that this was going to shut down the family farm and it just created mass hysteria and it made a really difficult campaign it didn't deal with cattle deal with pigs it india with chickens it in the old any other species the language was explicit and anyone who's a 1st year law student could say with definitive precision that it just applied to dogs in space a clear way to one of the dominoes in what i call the line of dominoes out here in eliminating all of domesticated animals you know dogs cats then you go into livestock arena forces and so forth and then develop measured. campaign you don't necessarily need to convince people that your position is right you just need to

sow enough confusion so that people maintain the status quo and vote no was no way to defend this so instead they want to change the subject to all these other animals that people will respond to an emotional way this isn't really about puppies this is about your chicken and your beef and your pork and this group wants to take those off your dinner plate it's about emotional trigger that they're going to they're going to press those buttons to get people to respond emotionally oh it's basically a form of lying i mean let's just cut to the chase this proposition was about dogs . wants you to think it's about all these other animals because that will scare the hell it. really is an issue for anyone who likes to eat meat protein in their diet thank you very much thank you kelly smith marketing and commodities director for missouri farm bureau much more to come on this and other issues as we broadcast from the missouri farm bureau offices here in jefferson city missouri stay with us

it's half time on average. interestingly my wife and i had made a plan for we settle we put on a piece of paper what our dream of a farm was. after a long search i will show this for. exactly. so that's why we're here. we lived our lives here pretty much. happy lee we raised our family we raised our kids we felt very comfortable here. we didn't feel threatened at all you know and i mean i would have never at that time suggested to you that clean air was a vital important thing in my life. they were going to raise hogs ok and at the time i did not know how many hogs were going to raise and it turned out that. now they raise $80000.00 hogs and 3 miles more than.

the farmland foods facility in milan missouri is owned by smithfield foods the largest hog and pork processor in the world with revenues exceeding $13000000000.00 in 2013. north of me is called green hills. there isn't a single pig in there that ever seen the green hills there isn't a single pig down there that ever sees the valley. so these are wonderful names but in this are these factory buildings where these hogs are housed in these big barns with little fresh air with no sunlight with little movement with no grass no nothing you hear the name valleyview and you think all little piggy riding on green grass you know just kind of smooching out there living in the sun you don't see that. these are feeder pigs in the amounts awaits are just incredible and you sit in your backyard with your

family and you eat dinner or you sit outside on a warm summer night and all over sudden this thing rolls in and i would call it a trespasser it just trespasses on your property ending golfs you and it's there in the media just like it's just like if a visitor coming that you have not invited relationship with the missouri farm bureau radically changed when he began to complain about the daily waste and odors emitting from smithfield foods that tree farm while he assumed the farm bureau would support a local independent farmer against his new corporate neighbor ralph was left to fight alone. i felt abandoned and also felt that i was working for the wrong organization for for so many years because all of a sudden this operation this organization backed allen and it supposedly is a farm or can he say. these supposedly supports individual independent farmers and

all of a sudden they were siding with industry and their siding with industry to this very day they campaign against prop b. began immediately after it was approved for the ballot at a gathering of the most powerful agricultural forces in missouri at the stinson morrison and hecker law firm in addition to members of the dog breeding industry the meeting included the leadership of the missouri farm bureau the missouri pork producers association and the missouri soybean association at this meeting these groups agreed to fight prop be in a coordinated effort with the dog breeding industry. to front groups emerge from the meeting one which would eventually be called missouri farmers care and the alliance for truth while these front groups seem to have sprung out of thin air it was actually a highly coordinated effort financed largely by corporate agriculture nearly 82

percent of total contributions to missouri farmers care originated from 3 corporate agriculture trade groups and their respective political action committees. the missouri farm bureau the missouri pork producers and the missouri soybean association while the missouri farmers care campaign highlighted the positive role of missouri farmers in society the alliance for truth was focused on misrepresenting the clear language improper be the majority of the funding for the alliance for truth was funneled through missouri farmers care by the same agricultural trade groups the trade groups involved represent the interests of their member corporations in missouri these corporations include some of the largest agribusiness is in the united states month sento tyson cargill and smithfield foods while these trade grew. she used their vast financial resources opposing prop b. the corporations that ultimately provided the majority of the funding for the

campaign remained silent simply put without the financial support of corporate agriculture the puppy mills of missouri would not have had the ability to mount the alliance for truth or missouri farmers care which were largely responsible for the opposition to proposition b. alliance for truth that could be for anything you know but they can't call themselves you know friend group in favor of herding dogs so they have to come up with them their word to just totally distract you from the issue at hand it's not about the dogs it's about liberalism growth of government in rouge and into your life has a proud tradition of dog breeding for hunting home companionship and just best friends to enforce existing law against animal abuse but vote no to the big government liberalism or proposition paid for by a life for truth mark paterson treasurer i mean they would be fending of those one thing i mean alliance for truth is literally just a front so there has been

a tremendous amount a shocking amount of organized opposition to efforts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding facilities and most of that opposition quite frankly is coming from huge agricultural groups and industry these are groups that have nothing to do with dogs have to do is look at who is funding these fans to see who's really benefiting from them it's not the individual farmers who manchus who you know may believe in some of the messaging that these groups are putting forward but it's really the major players in big ai with business who are benefiting and it's the industry why defense that's going on is not to protect the for the poor rancher i mean those guys are getting screwed by have to stink interest in the future of this farm and the future of this community. corp. their interest is making. money their interest is not in the community their interest is not what is being left behind community interest. is 0.

prop b. was very specific it was a bill that addressed commercial breeding dogs not chickens not cows not pigs but that's what the opposition said that's the misinformation that they gave to people in the state of missouri to scare people it was purely fear tactics on their part and it really ended up being at the expense of the thousands of dogs that suffer on a daily basis in the state of missouri every signature beyond the bell was signed by missouri every boat that passed property in the law was passed by a missouri rose missourians here and this was not i doubt a state you know like you say no those are the same interests that you know they might have right in the money so we can get the word out that they didn't go to the polls obviously it was missouri residents who voted for this morning notice waiver

soon oh no it was no other. who won by 51 of the have for some became very close fortunately because of those mass hysteria that was just being spread in the rural areas and there really do people really believe i mean i talked to him one on one that they really believed this was going to close down the farms it had me beg you for joining us all i was there a governor jay nixon will he find a bill changing proposition b. even though voters already approved it probably be stirred the emotions of missourians on both sides of the issue but it was ultimately approved by 51 percent of voters the thought of altering it is an outrage and the wall supporters don't only a couple of 100 lawmakers have completed their judgment for their judgment about. 1000000 voter nancy weller says she can't bear to see another dog pulled out of

a puppy mill she and more than a 1000000 other missouri voters pushed for prop be the very bill lawmakers are now working to change the ink wasn't drawing on the formalizing of the final election results when state lawmakers in missouri we're going to repeal probably several of them if they have bills to repeal probably in its entirety immediately go to the people you know we're not out to put these people out of business for say we just want them to comply with good standards here but instead they wanted to repeal the whole thing they threw it all out it was just 5 months after missouri voters approved a new puppy mill law the law. they even changed the name of the lawn. back to the canine coolly prevention act and it does remove the breeding dog limit and some requirements of the living conditions of animals it is a constitutional process and when citizens decide they can do that the

legislature should defer to the will of the people how do you run a government when the voters go to the polls they will when something is just ignored there is an election that's the way things run and then i have to think what is best for these you know as you know swallow your pride and sit down and work out something or i'm going to take the high road and say no no we're taking everything we want all of us know you have to do what's best for the you might as well you've got it. all across the board trump is down in the polls and not just by going to traditionally incumbency alone is enough to win the election but this time around it is a very strong these issues and let's be clear this has little to do with joe biden how do we get.

summer solution where every summer we look at solutions from all the problems they cover on every other month of the year now so they were covering big lobel ization dollars asian china for cation process which is game speed under trump but what has set in motion really on the summer 112002001 when china became member of the world trade organization time that attorney chris fenton author of beating the dragon. a short time ago an american airplane. hiroshima.

state not claim any. go. well until you do you. can it's. like most americans growing up after the war the bombs were a great thing they ended the war they say hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides and that's what my grandfather always said was his reason for the decision. truman was hoping for a dual strategy one was to drop the bombs and hope that japan would surrender to number 2 the americans were trying to send a message to the soviet union there was american poor planning in october 145 chosen 20 targets in russia. i don't think you.

greetings and sal you taishan is my friends since the very 1st protesters took to the streets in minneapolis over the murder of george ward to the recent protests in portland were groups of mothers fathers and military veterans are joining hands and readying their leaf blowers to push back against the tear gas and nightsticks the us establishment class and their mindless pundit followers have tried with all of their might and public relation teams to paint these protesters as dangerous terroristic groups of crazed leftists who who could at any moment burn down your favorite courthouse or church after kidnapping your blonde blue eyed children and forcing them to read howard zinn while listening to k.r.s.

one and watching old fidel castro speeches at any moment that's going to happen we saw this last tuesday during u.s. attorney general william bar's testimony to the u.s. house judiciary committee when u.s. representative matt gates worriedly asked the bar about the possible spread of and if these protests in portland were not contained. is it your view then that chief and other violent people engaged in these acts would simply stop would simply accept that as their sole victory or is it your expert opinion having dealt with a number of law enforcement criminal cases and your legal career that that they wouldn't stop that they would go to the next town to the next community and potentially inspire more violence there's no doubt in my mind that it would spread . it would spread to one town up to another in another community oh my goodness they're a coming for us. well except like always truth gets in the way truth about actual statistics you see it appears that the threat of extreme leftist

groups and individuals including anti statistically pales in comparison to the violence committed by right wing extremists here in the united states of america according to recent findings by the center of her strategic and international studies that were reviewed by the guardian of the nearly 900 politically motivated attacks and plots in the united states since 1994 only one paid talent he has occurred from an attack by anti fascists and that the tally was the perpetrator himself he died in the attack while trying to carry it out meanwhile during that same stretch of time american white supremacists and other right wing extremist groups have carried out attacks that left at least $329.00 victims dead. so my friends who is the real threat to peace on our streets here in the u.s. of a let's find out as we start watching the hawks. what's

going on a city street. that is so let's see this is this joyce state see. rice grace see this least systemic deception is the late show which. so you'll. welcome everyone watching the hawks as you know i'm tired of winter oh and i was so amazed my goodness we need to watch out for and t. feel we need to watch out for these leftists extremists except they don't actually or haven't actually hurt anybody realistically 994 absolutely we known this for a while the president was trying to ratchet up here and he created this outside group that was coming to destroy america as we know it and according to the research like you. showed it was all a lie yeah that's what the hoax it was i mean when and 1st kind of came about i

mean chris hedges actually had a wonderful conversation just kind of saying hey showing up to protest where an all black and a ski mask is not good looking optics no matter how just your cause maybe you'd still be the average person sit at home you look threatening. but none of the violence that we've seen happen since the murder george void and the protests that we've seen happen over and over has been as a result of these folks here most of it is outside agitators in fact on tuesday while attorney general barr was telling those scary stories about empty on capitol hill the minneapolis star tribune reported that the now infamous figure the one we also hold me umbrella dressed in black taken in near you know kicking in windows at autozone. in minneapolis just before the looting and all that took place minneapolis says police say umbrella man was a white supremacist trying to incite george floyd rioting according to their according to the work the police is doing up there they've narrowed down who they think this person is. scary thing about that is apparently if it is this person

that they say it is he even went to my high school he graduated from my high school back in 2006 which doesn't surprise me because there are those pockets up there there are those pockets of right wing extremists white supremacists all over the place you know absolutely and i think that the more we dig into stories like this the more we'll see that these these groups that are really causing the crazy uprisings who are you know lighting buyer to things where flipping over police cars and all of that are your protesters so that people who we see donald trump and his acolytes out here basically throwing all types of shade on me he's trying to reel the 33 in that he's calling chaos what he really needs to william is white supremacy and we know that he's not trying to do that he doesn't even want to acknowledge that white supremacy think this no because the i guess to him is is i don't i mean it's one of those things right. get it but again it's that thing words like you know he's trying to tiptoe because he wants to keep his voters he's putting he's putting the needs of whatever voting bloc he wants to appeal to before

the actual peace and security of the country is what will come to see him absolutely and then the fear that comes along with that is that he's willing to label peaceful protesters as terrorists as anti-american as anarchists meanwhile you have this group of subversion actors who are homegrown terrorists some white supremacist here who are causing all types of chaos and mayhem and yet aside from the report that we're doing right now to be honest i'm not even hearing about this on any bit of mainstream media and very few people are actually picking up on the story at all and that's because look far right extremists apparently a lot of this research has killed at least 38 people in just 2019 and that's according to the anti-defamation league forex it was possible for 76 percent of all extremist related murders according to the defamation league i mean that is really where we have a problem with people in this country and it's and it's shocking that we're not really looking into it i mean even the f.b.i. was warned about there's a bill trading law enforcement way back 10 years ago more than 10 years ago you had

no one did anything absolutely none christopher ray actually you know he talked about it at one point and then we're seeing this administration still act like none of this is ever happened and it doesn't exist and that data doesn't matter it is post trauma i hope that regardless of what happens next that's the thing we kind of get into this thing of like once trump gone from school and all this problem disappears it doesn't disappear but i just hope that like you know if you remove this person from all you know if you voted out of office that somebody actually takes this seriously down the way. the wonderful world of sports it's a new challenge almost daily with kobe 1000 cases continuing to spread across the u.s. sports teams are faced with major decisions major league baseball team they mammie marlins recently announced they were temporarily polishing their season following the latest round of killing 1000 test the team's most. recent test results showed a growing number of positive players bringing the total to 15 players among the

$33.00 who travel for their opening series here's tell us more about how the in milby is tackling and what this means for the league's players is r t america sports producer regina hamm what religion or wearing a grim reaper outfit i think that news all the time you bring bad news all the time i know it's hard because i'm like i know she's not going to tell us anything positive but i still hold out for that one moment where. regina we know that several other leagues have opted to have a bubble for players and personnel to minimize the risk of their covert 19 exposure or potential exposure but it will be have that option and they chose differently do you think in hindsight 20 twentieth's that's a problem for them how do you think they're absolutely we're seeing it right now as a fact of today 800 players have now tested positive on that marlins travel squad you are venturing very close to 60 percent of your squad having the current a virus and in a repro they have the idea they will go to arizona will put everybody in the bubble like the n.b.a. the national a soccer league m.l.s. is doing you know leagues that have actually been successful with this and baseball

and we don't want to do that well just condense the schedule have it be geographically determined you know division determine ok fine on our seeing the result of that that these marlins players who reportedly went out bar hopping in atlanta during an exhibition game are the reason this is happening and will be commissioner rob manfred has an interesting thoughts on the scenario and we should listen to those. i don't put this in the nightmare category i mean obviously we don't want any player to get exposed. it's not a positive thing but i don't see it as a nightmare we built the protocols to allow us to continue to play that's why we have the expanded rosters that's why we have the pool of. players and we think we can keep people safe and continue to play think strong words. you have those pools that this is you shouldn't be using them right. basic question but is there

any way for major league baseball america's pro bowl part of the whole bit to put a contingency plan in place in case the season does need to be canceled i think at this point you're hoping you know it's 60 games and $6060.00 that is not a lot of season you run the risk now that the marlins are going to play until it's monday at the earliest so now you're running the risk of missing the give or take 45 days where you're not having any games you have no room to make that up and will be at this point didn't think that hey we're going to operate like that just like they didn't think the trying to blue jays can play in canada and did not seem to have a backup plan for that either so we were hoping that the league is going to find a way to be like you know what we just quarantine a whole team and remove them where 2 teams in m.l.s. they did that they had to make a positive test in room selves in the tournament i don't we can't do that because you've already set the schedule you have already set these events in place and now i guess i just have to play patchwork and try to figure out what exactly is going to happen if you have this happen somewhere else examples of like texas where they

have higher heard of us cases and regina in terms of some of the other sports you know we talk about college football in the n.f.l. could it be a telling sign since baseball was considered to be at least be safe enough what does this mean now for the outbreak and possibly affecting some of these other sports the key word is safe enough you're looking at the scene where you're a diamond you're pretty far spread out at but you're still in a dugout you're still in a locker room you're still in places where you can't always do 6 feet apart college football is a tackle sport you are touching other people college sports you are touching other people you are seeing the n.f.l. 'd go back to training camp this week they have very strict protocols in place but that doesn't mean you're going to keep people safe in college football is a whole nother level of well we'll just figure it out because again they don't have a commissioner who can make league wide decisions every individual conference major conference has their own commissioner to make a decision so it's really going to be happening where it's going to go in the. it's sad too because whereas as you look at it you know i look at it and say look i understand i understand n.b.a.

like oh we're almost done if we can keep people above all we can finish out the season and kind of have a crown a champion and do all that and then to me it's like why don't these other leagues just say you know what let's take the hit let's take the last people are going to love us when we come back anyway let's just not do this for the rest of the year and start again next year when we know it's safe it's ridiculous i'm sure you've heard of the almighty dollar of course is a very big reason why these leagues aren't doing that and i think rob manfred is now seeing oh my goodness i maybe should have done this double yes it wasn't not going to be perfect you will still have that odd case but you want have to worry about a travel team having almost 60 percent of its team in quarantine and i mean i don't know i want to watch sports without an audience so you know if they believe the man is a guy like play audio and. thank you very much regina always a pleasure having you on even though you always bring bad news events or not we're going to make sure that a story of good news sometime move forward all right and as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand through the brand new portable

t.v. app which is now available on all platforms so you have no excuse you did it coming up we cover a canadian court's recent declaration that the united states get this is not a safe place for asylum seekers shocking now with immigration attorney alan origin or he will break that down stay tuned if you're watching the whole. but the pandemic no certainly no borders and is blind to nationalities. has emerged we don't have a charity we don't have the facts in the whole world to teach to the. people.

judge you. come in a crisis like this system. we can do better we should know. everyone is contributing to each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenge is creating the response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. is your media a reflection of reality. in

the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is right. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a made in the shallowness. of horror of us moreover what you want and which we the business doesn't want but guess what. we prepared for carbines. a lot cheaper reduced mobility you know the jury and it's a lot cheaper than having. a

us president donald trump never stop ratcheting up just when that's where policies for his most hated group immigrants and it's not just disgusting rhetoric like labeling immigrants as rapists murderers and folks coming to steal your jobs in elections no trump and his cronies have gone beyond employment tory and racist language to bylines the rule of law in their treatment of immigrants just a couple of weeks ago trump's plans to send one students back to their home countries. didn't have in campus sessions was walked back you'd think after such a big blunder trump would move on and you'd be wrong he's a laser focused on dismantling dhaka the obama era program that allows 700000 immigrants to live and work in the u.s. legally since 2017 trump has worked to strip doctor recipients of work permits and

ultimately deport them the president came under fire for adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census and even though the supreme court blocked it trump is dead set on finding a way to end it anyway and the trumpet ministrations and gilding discriminatory policies against immigrants haven't gone unnoticed by neighboring nations in fact a canadian court this week ended a longstanding deal of allowing the country to send asylum seekers back to the u.s. out of fear that the united states would detain them and deport them a clear violation of the rules of asylum here to break down the crisis facing dhaka recipients and asylum seekers as immigration attorney eleanor welcome alan. well alan trump has tried multiple times to dismantle datta piece by piece. so you know measures we wait for element combat drugs are you know it's skype and we've got to do it you know we've got to do we can. it's amazing to me seeing how

trump over and over again and now with dark is essentially saying whatever supreme court says i would do anyway and no one ever really stops them absolutely it's it's compounding to me because every time he gets stopped president finds another way to basically the law and try again and it's something that i think keeps immigration attorneys immigration reform as well as dr recipients and those who are seeking you know seeking asylum in their toes because it seems like this administration is dead set on not following the rule of law dead set on trying to punish as many immigration and asylum seekers as they can and to just. cancel all things that obama put in place but specifically doc and finally here to come break it down for us is once again alan or is back right little real difficulties aside we're back. because i'm glad i had a. thank you are trying to make sure mike moore was moving fast and unfortunately a last few hours champus tried multiple times to dismantle dhaka piece by piece

what is different about this latest round of attempts and why is a conservative leaning supreme court seemingly pushing against it. so i think the major issue here is that the supreme court has already decided that he had the power to end dr but he didn't do it the right way and not doing that a month ago they said that you had to go back to the original rule which meant new people could apply and people could renew their application and what you find is all monday of this week the trumpet ministration band back and said ok we'll do renewal but instead of doing them for 2 years we'll do them for one year and we won't take any new application so that is in direct conflict of the supreme court order so this is a constitutional problem that is beyond just saying the trumpet ministrations against aka the judgment ministration is against the rule of law because they went to court and it was settled and now they're not living by the rule that it should have been felt by actually that day there was

a hearing where congressperson europol basically asked the director of the ins are you allowed to go against the rules of the supreme court and the answer was no. and that's basically the result of the hate and fear and also on monday in the white house garden the president said i am for these dhaka folks and the people who supported the case then why are you rolling back the level of protection for them at this time. a 1000000 dollar question docket recipients are are in limbo and have been for several years now i mean they must renew their status every 2 years and have no real way of knowing when the world one in the world comes when the world they've come to know might be ripped out from underneath them what will it take for congress to pass actual conference of immigration reform and what key elements are necessary to protect the rights of immigrants asylum seekers and these doctor recipients. well senator durban on monday introduced

a bill for the dreamers to dock a classification so that both houses could potentially move it move forward because as we all know almost 90 percent of americans are behind protection for these individuals who came in as minors but it basically is going to take the same thing it takes for congress to do anything to basically get off of the gavel and start moving forward and get back to law making instead of politicizing every conversation in the media you are correct or the last an administration that has been an issue you know when it sort of addressed or now agreed to basically address the issues clear of all the other issues aside of budget issues and what have you they need to be paid. to point and alan i'm sure that you probably agree on this one president trump technically doesn't disparage all immigrants just those from certain countries african nations for instance mexico central and latin america he famously said we should have more people from places like move away and he's tried to quell his racism with saying that those with special skills and education would be top priority but even with that only seeks to allow in white

immigrants at what point in this nation's history did the immigration debate get so racialized is this a trump fair issue or is it something that preceded it. well this is a definitely truck perry issue i mean isn't there a cult or even a stratification and with a start out to 6 and then when $155.00 it's sort of earth japanese nationals and indian nationals but the sort of races undertones of this administration the threat of people coming in is what's really unnerving right because now everybody who believes in christianity and the right of individuals and helping individuals is against asylum which is a legal form of entering the country they're actually asking today in that same hearing conservatives are asking things in the asylum applicants actually pay for their own application of cold $100.00 or even $50.00 for people who are fleeing for their life this is something that is president of this country that you've never seen before and specifically over black and brown people the people you seem to be . since then or are black and brown people well the undocumented population of this

country represents every nation right their only concern with asylum seeker at the southern port of entry not a phylum thinkers that fly over from china or from other countries as a matter of fact i know right now as the largest 'd number of individuals who have actually applied for asylum so you are dead on when you think about these things in addition to that they have a laser focus with the public start rule that was put it a day in the supreme court so they could go into action and then just a few hours ago a new york district court put it back at bay and saying that now you cannot enforce the public charter rule with the state department or with you and basically that all the struggle with allowing this country to say if you're poor or if i think you're ever going to be or you're not allowed to come into this country so it's very something important all that sort of hurt people who are right here in our region all those caribbean countries and all those people from latin and south america apparently while living in new york all the years of the president and many members of his cabinet never actually took the time to visit the statue of liberty and what you would have counted them had an interesting decision to protect asylum

seekers by keeping them in canada instead of sending them to the u.s. as i mentioned earlier what message decisions signal not only should have signaled us to the summit here in the united states but also to the rest of the world. it's that you know something that the injection of also done moving away from a global player just a bit in the right from the fundamental human rights that we've always discussed and it basically said listen we understand that the united states is our partner we've had a great relationship with them but looking at our constitution based on these immigrants come to our country and the way they were treated the us we can not say that we need a country anymore and that's the reality through their core they have moved past the politics of looking at the reality of an immigrant who would mistreat in the united states very simple to understand if we moved away from the u.n. and moved away from humanitarian right we still are families that are separating california who would have been reunited last under court order or still separated family that what we think is the american everything that

a family around him working at the white house on the middle they are still separated why are we still having that conversation. yes why are we still having this conversation about thank you so much for coming on today educating our audience always love having you on alan thank you always. and you for having me. and finally today while well none of us none of us want to see anyone flying the flags of the confederate south anymore 1st because you know it's racist and represents slavery 2nd because well it's racist and represents slavery and 3rd because honestly give it up the confederacy lost back in 865 it is now 2020 get over it but the blags away but again while no one wants to see these symbols of slavery and oppression flying anymore it is also important to make sure that the confederate flag one is fighting to take down from public display is. actually a confederate flag because that is what happened to poor kirsten and greg often

back or owners of the nordic pineapple in st john's michigan the often bikers are owners of a civil war era mansion turned bed and breakfast in st john's and since 2018 in celebration of norwegian heritage have flown the flag. norway proudly outside their front door alongside the stars and stripes until now after they are besieged by complaints from folks who thought they were flying the confederate flag yes people actually confuse the country of norway's flag for the southern cross flag of the confederacy wow and they had to take it all they don't have them live to each other except they are made of the thing color it's like i get the instinct hey if you see the can better take that down file a complaint and you as well you should but make sure do your homework make sure that's what you're actually staring at. all right everybody desires over you today remember everyone in this world we are not told that we are loved not so i tell you

all with all sincerity i love you i roll into it and i'm a music rock keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and night everybody.

max keiser financial survival guide stacey let's learn a ballot fill out let's say i'm not so i can hear. the fight. thank you for. the story 6 that's. slavery.

and i said to them what would be the difference to you and he said that he thinks of wrestling while there's a foreman in europe called comedia del art which is sort of good bad a metaphor good versus evil it's almost like what ground up products are built a lot and he says he's fascinated by the w w e from that aspect is kind of sense that right in a way i think i think that people. i remember when i was a kid and the reason i loved it was the larger than life characters there's an energy to it i love the warrior i love the pain on the face streamers on the arms running out to his music like whenever it hears music i would just cheer and think he is the greatest thing in the world and these guys were like larger than life and a soap opera like story lines you know who you hate sharing who you love you know normally we have 10 to 20000 people in our audience you know booing me telling me i suck which i miss right now but believe it or not but. there's

nothing quite like it out there and people always ask what's it like being a deputy superstar now we tell him like i can't describe it to you because you're not there or you're not doing it you know you wouldn't understand it kind of be like you trying to describe weekend update me and i don't know i think that's something that's just indescribable about your experience is there. well i said bring side at jerry jones's house for they wrestle mania that one year and i musta been a 100000 people there i remember vince a son went off offense for 20 i think landed on the table i was sitting rod 63 i looked about could have said i don't know. this is flat out what i've always to fly into sport but this is amazing entertainment there was a buzz it's a little bit of everything it's works to entertainment it's comedy it's drama you know speaking of shane mcmahon son of vince mcmahon who you're talking about i

wrestled shane mcmahon at met life stadium in front of 80000 people and i suplex him off of a i would say 20 foot scaffolding and let me tell you it was a very far drop and believe it or not my 6 year old dad got into the ring because he didn't like shane mcmahon beating me up this was before obviously the 20 foot drop but i yeah like shane was beating me my dad didn't really like that he actually got in the ring and then shane mcmahon actually beat him up which was kind of went along the story but it was one of my dad's favorite things he has a meme out there right now on twitter that literally he went viral like it's him try to i told him i said debt if you're going to get in the ring make sure you get your fighting stance on it and you get ready to fight and so literally gets in the ring and he just does this like he's like at 1950 he's like kind of out but i'm not

but i'm up like oh my god yes you're on so your fight. you know ms when i watch it to me it's like there is people say well it's not it's not a sport though but i defy anybody to tell me it's not like it's like gymnastics with amazing variables that i don't want i watch and i feel like i'm watching a gymnastic meet not watching my son wants obama u.f.c. fantasized watch these things the bond with my kids and i watch it i think why don't flat out know that that guy's hitting that guy's head office at a metal steps as a matter of fact i know that i say i can suspend my belief on that but i do know when a cat gets up on the top thing. or backwards he risks breaking his neck and that's the danger implies a lot of systems and i look at it as a sport you know people can look at it really when i also look at it as an art it's an art form on what we do i look at the our professional wrestling and there's

nothing quite like it people were asking me with with this hosting cannonball like are you nervous it's a new thing i go this is a really new to me because in w w e it is prepared me for all walks of entertainment in all walks of performance because we're live it's like sound i live like you're live you get one tape to do or you flub a word you mess up a joke you have to keep going same thing in w w e you have to keep going so with hosting cannonball and doing comedy i gamble i'm used to that because we do it all the time in w w e so i'm very thankful for the opportunities i've been given to perform in front of a live audience each and every week maybe not now but before. while we got plenty of time to let this breathe and i do want to talk about cat and bob but a somebody right in the main connector of the be a debbie right now i just want to close by asking you i see it as a hard life i mean i see it a circus maximus when you're in the ring and it must be

a gas to have people jacked up like that the walk and i see all of it it's not the walk in and it's the trip. is it in between things it's the 220 night senior i don't know that there everybody's on a g 5 go on between gigs seems like a tough gig and now that you have 2 babies and they'll grow up someday and wrestling will be with us forever is it something you'd steer your kids away from eventual. i'm a big believer and if my kids want to do something i want to give them to tools to be able to do whatever their jeems have i think that's every parent's goal is if your kid has a dream you want to make sure that they have the tools they want to be a piano player you're going to give them the best piano player you put piano you possibly can't you're given the best teacher you possibly can so that one of my daughters wants to be a w w e superstar i don't think there's any better teacher than me so i'll definitely teach them how to do it because honestly it's changed my life and allowed me to live the life i've always wanted to do as

a child i grew up idolizing superstars and now here i am with children idolizing me and it's a dream come true and i'm i'm a former intercontinental former united states former debbie debbie tag team you name it i've done it so i feel very fortunate to be able to do that. we're talking to the miss and we're talking wrestling but i want to move it over to the show now you can see that he's got a show here and it's called cannon ball it's on a new usa network it airs thursdays at 8 pm i see a lot of these shows and this one seems like when cirque du soleil did the water show over there it doesn't. accurately predicated on the they agua tell me about the show ms tell me what part and you know what are the contestants planned for the taglines it is it's the biggest waves while this water sports competition out there and you know it really truly yes when i drove up to the set i looked at it it is

a huge water park that is unlike anything you've ever seen we have a 100 foot mega slide where contestants slide down going 70 miles an hour get launched in the air 80 feet in the air and then some of the challenges that are that they're launching into is like the human dart where they have a target that they have to hit and it's called human dart for a reason you are the dart and you have to hit it with any part of your body we have a drop tower that drops a 5 pound cannon ball on an airbag and you're on the opposite side of that airbag so you're flying 70 feet in the air and you have a net yet to catch all these balls but the best part about my job is watching the contestants the contestants are so different than any any competition you've ever seen like we have n.c.a.a. krege athletes we have people that never step foot inside a a gym we have people that are shaped like animals we have people we have 54 year old woman who is more ripped than i am we have a guy that is

a cat daddy be called something get it because he's got a bunch of cats got stay at home fathers it's just all walks of life are a cannonball and they're vying for $10000.00 and honestly i didn't know or think that cannonball could change lives on like this is a game show it's for fun but one. the guys the show's been airing for quite a bit now for like 3 episodes and one of the winners said we asked him what he going to do with the money he said i'm going to buy a ring for my longtime girlfriend ask her to marry me and the next day after it aired i saw on instagram bet she said yes you had a ring on her finger and everything's i was like man it can both change lives here . you know but on the i'm amazed that ms i always think of warhol who seem like a bit of a caprice assault of a way back when an interesting pop artist spent his his statement that in the future everybody would be famous for 15 minutes as i look back is almost nostradamus like it is predict quality but the thing i'm

a narrative of is i'm surprised how many people take their 15 minutes so earnestly i watch these reality competition shows and you most might go in there watching them with your eyebrow askew thing you know what is this about ninja stuff all that stuff and these people are so earnest about it that i dare i say i find it kind of touching house how much this matters to them their moment now they want to knock it out of the park you're talking to a guy who is supposed to only have 15 minutes of fame i'm from the real world remember 20 years ago i did the real world and people said i'd be done and that's my 15 minutes of bam but i i was motivated i was determined now you bring it back you are contestants on cannon ball i think they're just having fun and they just want something to do they one of the guys his name was dominic george gianni and he was afraid of heights and he just goes there's a d. i'm like still 3 to heights man and i just don't know why i'm here but i think the

reason eases because i just want to conquer my fear of heights and he did exactly that and he did actually really well if so if you want to conquer your fear of heights come on down to cannonball will conquer it real quick. we're talking the effervescent mike the ms mazatlan and we can talk about his you know the bride also have a reality show marie so i think if there's a funny director it suites again it's a very modern relationship we're talking today about cannonball and it's on usa network it airs thursdays at 8 pm you can always catch up now because stuff stream so he says there are 2 apps then you better get the 3rd this thursday though you know want to go too far and then you end up not watching it you know i sometimes i'll wait 5 episodes in and i don't get the something because i'm super r.b.i. so jump on this thursday go back and get the other 2 can and will it airs thursdays at 8 pm we'll be right back with the miss will talk

a little real world i want to see what his high school cross country time was too i'm interested in that all that with the miss dennis miller plus one right after this. we go to work. straight home. all across the board trump is down in the polls and not just by a pointer to traditionally incumbency alone is enough to win the election but this time around it is a race track and let's be clear this is little to do with joe might. be.

a more robust morals would be one in which we the business those who guess what. we prepared. a lot cheaper at reduced mobility it's a lot cheaper than having. hey folks welcome back to dennis miller plus one today the one is the very congenial mike the ms mazatlan and you know him from the w w e n before that as a as a babe in the woods real world in 2001 he's got a new show called cat and ball on the usa network exceed the logo behind him there are only 2 into their run so you can pick it up and then thursday get back on the

the real time schedule at 8 pm on usa network you know as i you know i look back. i was watching an interesting there's a series that you would love coming from the real world it was made by the b.b.c. it started in 1964 it was called beat up series where they visit back with a group of kids every 7 years they're now up to 63 up 56 up they've been interviewing the same get group of kids was 7 years in between i look back at real world and i think it's easy to sort of test to see that these shows but that show after an initial rollout got so real i thought oh this is kind of an interesting sociological study relief to see how this works i know it's a perfect but the see how interaction works like that what you are memories of it miss it's funny that you say that because this height how you say that because when i got done doing the rural back to new york season 10 by the way in like 2000 i had colleges calling me out saying hey would you like to do

a speech at her college to basically motivate our kids can't give them you know what your experience was like because it's so much like college and i was like you guys do realize you never graduated college right like yeah so you want to come educate your students and what it's like going to college when we graduate college i went to my to ohio but real real took me off of it and so i would go to schools and i would do motivational speeches to college kids all the time because it was so much like the college experience you know going on the. real world i was a kid from parma ohio never really i traveled here and there but i never got out of my harmon ohio bubble until i got on the real world and it brought me into new york city and let me tell you something there is no faster city than new york and i was eyes wide open i had no idea i was a little uncomfortable i was an outcast on the show but i created this character called ms on the show which is basically

a person that would tell everyone like it was and people started respecting and liking the minutes more than they liked mike and it was interesting to me and i was like wow it was a really incredible experience but and it taught me a a lot about new york city where i would have to be a billionaire in order to live there happily while when you're a kid and parma ohio and you think about getting out and going to miami you're thinking about the university which is a play. i think it turned up there in ohio by the way i wanted to ask your real quickly i'm always fascinated i was talking to alice cooper recently been sent fornia it to you and when vince was in call when in high school he held the arizona state cross country record and i wonder what your time was you know i see that i'm going i was like i was i don't think i've ever gotten the cross country record but i was the captain of the cross-country team captain of the normandy baseball team played basketball i swam here i played football i just loved sports so i was really

really in involved in that i just always loved athletics i love competition. well certainly being in primetime not you're in for the competition here like there's a lot of things to snag people's attention out there and the business 1 on cannonball on usa network it airs thursday at 8 pm look how smooth i am getting it slipping these plugs it now i know you really should baby just really just you just really nail it down i feel like you're doing a bit like on s n l and blah usa network and then every 5 seconds like kid law on the usa network i feel like we're doing it right we're what got to sell the so what are we a choke because the sport we're going to end the exact. again if you deny that the game. on the usa network. i was just watching the history channel and somebody fired

a cannonball into fort sumpter they're now on doing subliminal so tell me about your babies man you got 2 young girls tell me about your wife marie she guys have really i let me show trudeau in yeah we have a reality show on on usa network news and mrs new episodes are coming in the fall it's basically about my entire family which is myself my wife marie sue is a former or still a w e superstar and as well as she's a former. women's champion and then we have 2 daughters a 2 year old and a 10 month old and he think that household is a no no we have more we have 2 dogs you 2 cats we have 2 moms in the house yes i have my mother and my mother in law living with us right now as we speak it is absolutely pandemonium all the time in this household. it's like the waltons meets noah's ark you've got a paring of everything rather if the rains come you can float away and have your entire life in the household so yeah there i would i want to ask you missed seeing

as you start i guess you gravitated towards the real world you must a went to it from ohio i don't think they were out there scanning for people so you had to go solicit that thing after how do you not do say you're in you're hired these are hearing years old g.'s so not spending lightly on the idea of that was 19 years ago with the real world you're right i had to go looking for it so i was watching the rebels in new orleans which is the previous season the one that i was on and i saw a commercial and i said i was there like do you want to travel i was like i do you want to try out well said in the video so i made this video on a v.h.s. by the way because back then we didn't have our little camera phones that yes have today so i had a v.h.s. i remember putting press editing it by pressing play and record on my v.h.s. . videos because i always record everything on might big huge v.h.s.

camera and so so yeah i sent in a video and back then there wasn't all these reality shows there was like maybe 4 or 5 like now every every every network has 4 or 5 different reality shows there was only one or 2 or 3 back then and so there was like 100100000 people trying out and i remember everyone telling me like what's going to stand out from all those people i don't know but i'm going to do it. well it sounds like concocting the ms character at some point broke i don't think everybody in there was walking around doing a dual character track so that probably puts you in good stead as far as the producers ago i'm sure they like that i have to ask them as one when people ask me about showbusiness they asked me if it's harsh world and you know i don't say this dismissively because it's been very very good to me as they say but i don't know if it's interesting to my core life to ever have it devastate me do you know what i

mean it's like you've got those babies you've got that wife you've got to make a living i understand that but everybody well at the moment all that and i always find showbusiness when people get disappointed and that i always think how do you let it get that far into your head it's a bit of a caprice it's a risk the juices in the game how do you find showbusiness as it lay it down or do you keep it at arm's length like i do to some extent as of right now it hasn't let me down and i've heard these stories when i was on the real world i would have a lot of people that were on the road that you know is is good experiences i had they said that you know they edited me wrong or did this wrong and honestly i if you are who you are until i met a lot of people when you meet them in person they are completely different person than who they are on camera and they have more or less at them themselves and then who they see on camera they say that's not me it's like no that's the person i saw that you projected on camera that was you then so some people get aggravated by

that some people get mad and some people get mad at the fact that they're not where they are in the think they should be and you get bitter you get angry and you know into you we sometimes i'm not the focal point and i want to be the focal point so i look at and i go ok how can i be the focal point how can i be the person that is talked about that's on all the posters that does. we or universal champion and i always blame myself and i don't think a lot of people blame themselves in hollywood i think they blame casting directors i think the playing directors and lame editors it blame everybody else besides themselves and i'm always a person i would blame myself i'm the reason i am not where i want to be and so right now i am exactly where i want to be i'm hosting cannonball i have my own reality show businesses and i love it like i love my family being around like i've never seen my dad more than i have when being on missing misses and shooting

businesses and then as far as w w e like i'm happy where i am and people are like well you're not in the w w we're universal championship picture and it's like i'm going to be there right now but it's like a wave and it goes up and down and right now i'm writing it and i'm going to keep writing it until it goes back up again so i guess my best advice i can give and i don't know if you're asking for a 5 vice but i think the best advice i can give to anyone in the entertainment business that is a little bit or a little angry to keep trying to figure out what you're doing wrong and try to find the tools to do it like when i wanted to be a superstar i didn't just go and try to become a w.b. super so you just don't do that you you have to find independent wrestling school that teaches the art of fresh wrestling not only that i would move to l.a. i got acting classes i went to improv i went to groundings i went to improper lympics i tried to find all the tools i possibly could to become the best superstar i possibly could so i guess that is my my best advice to anyone out there that's

better good advice prelate were got some questions ms obviously tell you what the fans are loyal. you put up the chair coming off and questions it's like country music you know i can see why people do those jam borís every year and that because if you get made up by the mafia but by the country music fans of the wrestling fads you're made for life they'll forgive me a lot. stuff and stay with you and so on we said you're coming on questions out there was a we got jenny are back on facebook and i think i from hearing you talk know the answer to this but jenny asked what what have you liked better reality television or they'd be on big extended right it's not even it's not even close i would say w w it was always my dream it was always my dream like ever since i was a child and now i get to be here and get to perform and just and do what i love

and now like you know if you look at ms and mrs with my family i guess you can say it's evolved like so you know you asked that question i'm like. are not but then you got to we 2nd real world gave you my start if it wasn't for the real world i wouldn't be where i am today then you look at we're i've come today where it's like i'm with ms and mrs i'm with my wife and one of my daughters i'm with my dad my parents like i don't it's a tough decision but i think as a child child me would say. well listen as you sat on tom wolfe the great writer a bonfire the vanities wrote a brilliant book called man in full f u l l was about well you sound like a man in full to me it sounds like it's clicking on all cylinders and obviously everybody has to wait until this corona plays up before we get back into our endeavors in public but i sense a happy fulfilled man and if you want to see them is mike has

a show called cannonball on the usa network it's it airs on thursdays at 8 pm my son who like i said is a big fan i said what can i expect from this cat and he said i think he's a really good guy dad you realize he's in the villain role to a large degree or a lot of people yell at adam and stuff like that he said but i sense an intelligence there and he seems like a nice man indeed you are my kid had a good read i told she was smart mits there yes i like him i like them already he's good am i ok yes i player here is good and he gets it's go area jerk. good to talk to your brother that's the sawdust mellor plus one i love folks. join me every thursday on the elec simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the

world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. summer solution where every summer we look at solutions from all the problems they conquer on every other month of the year now today recovering big lobel ization the dollar is asian and china for cation process which is game speed enter tromp but what has set in motion really understand 41122001 when china became member of the world trade organization time that attorney chris fenton author of beating the dragon. a short time ago an american airplane dropped one bomb on hiroshima.

state not claiming any. little condescending for their own image and. chin it's. like most americans growing up after the war the bombs were a great thing they ended the war they say hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides and that's what my grandfather always said was his reason for the decision. truman was hoping for a dual strategy one was to drop the bombs and hope that japan would surrender to number 2 the americans were trying to send a message to the soviet union there was american poor planning in october 145 chosen 20 targets in russia.

live from the world headquarters of r t america in our nation's capital this is the news with rick sanchez. i got to run i am rick sanchez i want to welcome all of you who are watching us all over the world quoting those of you who are watching us on your phones on the portable t.v. and i want to begin by showing you remarkable images taken by satellites provided by the russian space agency or also calls here it is to take a look at this picture the image that you see on top see the dividing line is the port area and bay route what it looked like before that massive and still somewhat mysterious blast that occurred yesterday while we were on the air while in the area below 'd the line that's what it looked like after the explosion and this

is pretty remarkable i mean let me just show you some highlights here just to tell us straight the significance you see that area that you see right there see that right there there's nothing there right i mean look at the size of the buildings that were essentially taken out just prior to that and just to show how it affects communities concentrator focus on that area right there you see that i mean those are homes that were 234 stories high right there you see them before the blast they were essentially leveled gone. that's remarkable stuff now i want to show you what it looks like at ground level and why people there are still really dealing with the impact of what happened here yesterday morning and afternoon look at this look at the images this is what's left on the ground and i'm basing. i mean

you can begin to understand the magnitude of this explosion more than 100000 people have lost their homes hundreds and hundreds more are either dead or missing they can't even find them because of this blast. because the look on these people's faces. estimates of those injured range in the $5000.00 maybe $3000.00 or more and then there's a concern over the dangers of the residue and the toxic gases remember what you're looking at there appears to have been caused by an explosion of tons of ammonium nitrate which is highly explosive and toxic so we're left now with the question right what is it is it possible that it was sabotage what are the usual suspects saying you know has ball israel what are they saying about this. we have team coverage on this still puzzling story right here on the news with rick sanchez where we believe it's time to do news again.

here is our list of the questions we think you'll be asking to morrow after watching this newscast today what happened in beirut and who might be responsible is universal basic income becoming a reality in one american city and how have politics and sports influence one know one another over the years the controversies that's asked larry king. we're going to begin with what is being called a historic if not almost cataclysmic explosion in beirut right now the culprit seems to be the mere accumulation of ammonium nitrate stored in huge quantities for years at the port there in beirut and if that's the case by the way that in and of itself seems horribly negligent think about that what is ammonium nitrate you may not know look at this building that's ammonium nitrate this is the same agent

ammonium nitrate that was used by domestic terrorist timothy mcveigh when he did this when he used that agent to blow up the federal building the alfred p. murrah building in oklahoma city killing by the way many many children who were nursery and get this this ammonium nitrate i'm talking about it's almost 50 percent as powerful as t.n.t. it's used as an agent to make fertilizer and it can go off with just a cigarette but that's left on the ground so was it an accident or was it sabotage was it ignorance it was or a combination of all of these things that caused this explosion we have team coverage of the story 'd for you today but i got to show michael maloof is an expert on this particular region marty correspondent paula slayer is a middle east correspondent for us and ron your colleague is an independent journalist who was on the ground there in beirut with the blast occurred and that's where we're going to begin with ron you know because she was there and she can

share with us what's being felt there now and what it was like to be there when it happened runnion take it away. well to be there and happened it was extremely terrifying. like an earthquake and then the windows blew out and then there was a loud explosion and it was very frightening luckily i wasn't injured but a lot of people were i was at the hospital yesterday and it was just complete panic and chaos and people searching for their loved ones. every single building residential commercial restaurants shops hotels nothing was left untouched in beirut there's just broken windows and apartments everywhere it's completely devastating the damage is widespread in a way like no one's ever seen. and today i mean today the cleanup began people started cleaning up of course there's theories about toxic fumes in the air you know there were a lot of people apparently from the south of lebanon who came up to try and help

clean up the mess. you know i spent the day cleaning up my own apartment there was a lot of there was damage inside my apartment lots of glass everywhere luckily i wasn't here to get hit by any of it but just a really really frightening day and now you know people are asking questions how did this happen. and it appears that you know it was known since 2014 when this substance was confiscated that it's been stored at the port in beirut and people are really angry about that because there are regulations on how to store or ammonium nitrate that you know to make it to make sure it's safe and the lebanese government for some reason decided to store it in a very dense and the most densely populated area of the country at the port that the economic lifeline of the country and now that's destroyed so there's a lot of anger in the street that the authorities thanks so much we certainly appreciate you giving us a 1st person perspective of what it's like on the ground paula i want to bring you into this conversation because as you know with a story like this if you and i were to go right now on social media or on the

googles as they say we would find all kinds of stories all kinds of accusations. terrorism israel what all or. people. about their possible complicity in the uk. well in my comments by saying that we are hearing from the interior ministry in lebanon not to speculate the prime minister saying that an official investigation has been launched and that those responsible will be brought to book but of course that hasn't stopped the speculation from happening as the main culprits are people initially pointing fingers at what israel and hizbollah israel almost immediately came out saying that they were not responsible in fact israel has since. party mediators and off of humanitarian and medical assistance saying that it can treat

up to 2000 lebanese in its hospitals the 2 countries technically at war. and as of yet no response from the lebanese side now why speculation and why fingers pointing at israel of course is that israel in the past has carried out aerial bombings in lebanon at warehouses belonging to his but now we know that the most was in this warehouse what is not clear is what was doing there and. we also don't know what was the trigger so some were suggesting that it was an explosion that was caused by the israelis in retaliation against hezbollah but as i say both and also have denied that the other finger pointing is against hezbollah there's some speculation that hizbullah is responsible for storing this ammonium nitrate it has denied this and so there's nothing to back up the speculation that it could have been his blood group of course this is what the investigation is to determine is why why why why was this some only

a nitrate of which we know 2750 tons in this warehouse in the 1st place and who was responsible for it. bring you into. conversation i know that you have a lot of folks there in beirut with their ears to the ground as to what's going on . is it possible that it may have been a combination of ignorance. and sabotage and carelessness that caused this. but it's probably all 3 the fact that it was stored for a floor quite a number of years i think 5 or 6 years and nothing was done about a quarter 37 a day get arrested or under house arrest right now there had been appeals to judges there to try to get it moved and the past nothing has happened. as to speculation i mean i have a friend who has a business that you could look go out on the balcony and see all that entire area his entire office was absolutely smashed the balconies caved. have

fallen down he had to take a lot of his employees to the hospital so it really touches a personal chord at that point they said also and i was also can i just ask you a question and i don't know in the control room of we have video of the explosion let's all watch it together if we have it because the thing i want to point out of we're able to get this video of the explosion is there doesn't seem to be as we've seen in the past michael the. any other discharge other than the accident where the explosion seeming to emanate from the ground itself we don't see any missile fire we don't see anything else around there that seems to have. if you'll pardon the phrase stimulate the explosion michael i'll let you have the 1st word although let me let me respond to that i had 3 2nd dependent sources tell me that and i'm one up in germany which is just up the coast from beirut in fact you

can see the city is unique from beirut a woman told 'd me that 2 low flying jets came right over. just before the explosion i had a i got another video this morning of people looking up in the air listening you know the subjects fly over and it's really just fly over there all the time and then all of a sudden you see this this wave the shock wave it and everything is a literate and and a 3rd source gave me information showing him touch of a missile coming in so i think the slugs need to be investigated i'm not saying that they are actually there i'm just saying that these are all things that have to be looked at i understand the minister of interior is denial of these things have to be looked at very very seriously i don't follow this and there was actually i was told well there was to all of giving us the official word that she's getting as a journalist from the officials there and that's what we want her to do. let me

just bring you in you were there you talk to the people i imagine you talk to a lot of other people but anybody else anything but you find curious at this point . you know in the aftermath of a lot of explosions and all countries that experienced them people often say oh i heard a jet. so far i've seen no evidence of that and i experienced it myself i didn't hear any airplanes furthermore you know. people close to saying that this was an accidental general security in lebanon saying it's and the israelis are denying it usually if the israelis are behind something they don't give an official denial they just kind of let you believe what you want to believe and they can sort of take credit for it but they're denying it. so it does seem to be that this was an accident and furthermore you know the fact that lebanon has an extremely dysfunctional government it's like i kneel liberal dystopia in lebanon where there's really no rules and regulations and the government is

a power structures made up of people who just are we believe examines you know. well and you're not the 1st person to say that it's been fired by the situation as far as we understand with some of the problems that they're having there but paula let me bring you in and i want you to have the last word on this what happens in a situation like this where you have so much going about in a story with much attention on it and so many deaths involved do you fear this will turn into some kind of reaction in the middle east. well no at this stage in the middle east it's not that it's going to turn into any kind of reaction what we have seen is an outpouring of support for the lebanese government as as. seems to be a consensus that it was an accident and has been that denying it and that seems to be taking the mainstream understanding in terms of what is happening and so we have

countries such as egypt canada the united states united kingdom right across the international community offering to support of course you might be aware that russia is sending 5 planeloads of aid and support. there is an outpouring of support and that's coming from the international community and from the middle east so at this stage and lot of people seem to be adhering to what we were hearing the official word from the jordanian government is mates wait. investigation determines michael bohl if you're biting your lip to get in i'll give you a 2nd because that's all i got. yesterday trouble said he after talking to generals that it looked like an attack it was pressed on that he reinforced that you know people are saying all come on that's true that's true but you know he's the one who said he was being spied on that no one believed. to all 3 of you important conversation the one that people should hear otherwise

they will feel like something is being a problem it's all out there and transparent and in the open thank you to all 3 of you we are pretty. the information on the devastation that we're seeing in beirut we're going to be right back this is the news reports hatteras. ah no team no crowd. no shots. actually well to be. going to let me stress both of those. points your thirst for action.

i'm chris hedges the corporate coup d'etat has destroyed our democratic institutions the commercial media is burlesque part of the reality show presidents expose the trivial lives seen on contact question more. seen the horrors that arise the money an evil. corporate criminals who trash calculus lives to add just one more dollar to their millions. they threaten they bribe they'll do anything to keep their crimes in the dark but the people they've heard are demanding justice their stories need to be told on america's lawyer. year thank you for finally. understand you're tired of networks learning new. 'd things and.

no matter what. you know me 'd i'm famous for my views. yours truly scotty 'd. i'm holland cook i invite you to climb with me both of them mainstream media and from that higher fan to each to glimpse the big picture question more. hey welcome back i'm rick sanchez now to pittsburgh where the mayor has his city is going to be participating in a program that's going to receive funding from twitter the twitter of c.e.o.'s members thought and jack dorsey he says he's going to make his residence eligible to get hundreds of dollars in guaranteed monthly income right remember that in the

presidential campaign the democratic presidential campaign about conversation came up but it's part of the latest city to launch a guaranteed income program from twitter's co-founder artie's trinity charges explains how this was going to work. pittsburgh méribel could you tell us says that residents who qualify will start receiving $500.00 a month of guaranteed income a move he says will help benefit their lives today pittsburgh the latest of 15 cities to launch a guaranteed income program to help residents the money used to start the program coming from a $3000000.00 donation made by twitter c.e.o. jack dorsey in july to help those struggling during the economic crisis brought on by the crooner virus pandemic. he said in a tweet earlier this month this is one tool to close the wealth and income gap level systemic race and gender inequalities and create economic security for families so far dorsey's gift is benefiting cities including atlanta seattle and los angeles whose members formed a network of mayors for

a guaranteed income and initiative that was 1st led by the mayor of stockton california michael tubbs in 2019 when he gave 125 or 6 cents 500 dollars a month for 24 months now according to reports this summer early indications show that the money given to residents has had a positive influence not only on the receivers but also on their communities so now other cities across the country are looking at implementing similar ideas meantime in pittsburgh there's been no word yet on how many residents will receive payments reporting the news for rick sanchez trinity chavez are. free body we going there. i'm sure we'll be hearing a lot of stories on this conversation but we'll leave it where it is right now because we want to turn a subject something else that's pretty cool history is replete with examples of sports and politics and politics mixing in a very controversial but important way there was the famous hitler embarrassed but

provided by none other than jesse owens he was an african-american beat the crap out of all the nazis on the ground there was 968 john carlos and tommie smith shocked the world in mexico city with that what you're looking at right there it was a mazing what an iconic moment that was and we you know even as a kid i remember look at the screen going really wow and then came muhammad ali who said he was going to go to vietnam at the vietnamese have never called him the word why should he go kill over shoot a. he went to jail more recently there was collin capper nick and his famous nero which cost him his career and millions of dollars. but now something different is taking place just in the last couple of nights i don't know if you guys have had a chance to watch the n.b.a. but the n.b.a. is actually embracing as the league everybody black white the owners the coaches all the players kneeling together embracing black lives matter joining us now the

host of politicking and my colleague larry king to talk a little bit about what's going on larry i mean it's a gets an interesting perspective the way this thing has played out and where we are now compared to the things that you and i have seen in our life isn't it never saw anything like this. when this broke with the killing in minnesota and the way to listen lasted this is a stretch that's unbelievable it's going to go right into the election campaign and when it hits november. the n.b.a. is to be saluted in my opinion for getting on this 1st they have outstanding leadership in the national basketball association and of course they are a league that is predominately black. but still and so amazingly unity that they're showing in this you know politics in sports go i was 5 years old at the time but max schmeling yeah germinated so i came to find joel we've got that picture which

are letters for american we've got that picture of schmeling joe louis beat max schmeling schmeling whether or not but he represented the nazis right no correction that one schmeling beat him the 1st time shelling me lewis in a fight in new york and it was no one believed that they had a rematch and lewis not doubt schmeling early. but schmeling went on to be strongly anti nazi are spoke against them as it causes he lived in europe and he was quite a fighter but there was politics reigning because germany was beginning its invasions of various countries and he was this german heavyweight who did defeat joe lewis in that 1st fight. you know it's funny i think back to. how different it was 1968 i'm a little kid i'm sitting there in miami with my mom and dad my dad and i watch sports together all the time and suddenly when we saw tommy smith and john carlos

raised their hands and at the time the country was going through all kinds of strife and it was not embraced in fact i think the networks looked at it as an embarrassment everybody attacked them if they did it today they would be impressed so it's going to he's a gem from times all right and this story keeps going where it doesn't have been slow it's constant and every day there's a story regarding it you can't you can't break away from it if you're into sports you know all of that plus that the virus is affecting baseball baseball so the cancel quite a few games then i should is going to be n.f.l. and mad as politically and twined to what do what do you do have you a commission of the n.f.l. and the president says you got it you got to play. you what do you do you know a. lot going on rick yeah i will tell you this though. you know

just to make me feel good my minnesota twins are right now the best team in baseball thank you very much for. you know those of us close behind as colorado yes they are big companies look good or a colorado looks good and then of course the yankees the best team that money can buy larry king love our conversations always do i could knock your egg i was going to talk for a good seeing i did a city where just talk about everything you know we've worked together we've done so many things but what he's saying is true about sports and we're seeing something happen now you know this is your valley where you cover the world of sports and we're seeing things we haven't seen before tiger woods making headlines today for example yes yes one sport that is able to go on of course the p.g.a. so we're seeing golf. and but their 1st major of the season because it was delayed of course it was supposed to happen in may but the u.s. p.g.a. championship is happening august 6th tomorrow in san francisco and tiger woods of course going for his 16th major now and he's out there practicing that was earlier

today looking good looking like he's healthy and ready to get back in there but of course he was reluctant to join the tour of the 1st few events because the one who doesn't have money exactly. well for the rest of us you know i'd be another guy who exhibited i need to work exactly as don't get a salary they only get paid if they play if they play well right and of course endorsements for tiger people like him but you know he's chasing those majors of course jack nicklaus has 18 and so he he's right behind him that 15 right now but you know he talked about it was interesting how it was to play a few weeks ago at memorial in his 1st tournament back without fans so take a listen to what he has to say about really generally by time you make the back 9 there's thousands of people out there on the golf course. waiting for the leaders to tee off but that never never happened so that's just a new world we live in and we just have to get used to it most of times when you go from green to t. people yelling or. trying to touch you that's. you know that part is

different as far as energy and competing and playing no that's that's the same pretty intense when i play and pretty into what i'm doing. lochte and it doesn't seem to affect mr woods there with no fans but one thing that is being affected is and i think larry made mention of this when we're talking football is going to be affected and i think you're hearing. the very 1st clarion call yes the 1st f.b.s. school so football bowl subdivision basically division one a school now is. officially suspending their college football season they announced today and that's going to trigger a chain reaction across the college football landscape of course because now they're independent school they left the a.c.c. of course conference but all those power 5 conferences the big 10 see a.c.c. they're going to conference all. schedules now in a shortened season like the big 10 knots their 10 game shorten to get all the see the photo if it all of course. they also said today they have by august 21st each individual division to decide if they're going to have a season so that's coming up but yeah it's not looking good for college football

that seems to be the 1st domino to fall in college you know it's a great opportunity if i had a division 2 or division 3 league yes i would make sure since they don't make any money on fans anyway because nobody goes to division 2 or division 3 games or i would do a deal with the s.p.n. or some other outfit to broadcast my games and make millions of dollars yes because broadcast deals where the money is but you have to get the eyeballs there to what to watch those schools division $2.00 and $3.00 schools and in order to get a deal to broadcast all fans with nothing on television but division 3 or division 2 would watch division but also if they're not going to put the players from the power 5 converses at risk for the scope and i think they're not going to do with the smaller school so they're going to carry less i think we'll see i wouldn't be surprised mark my word if they're smart they're going to play that hand it's a good idea always and always a conversation you and i you know going back and forth on things i think you might be wrong on this one or. both. but certain moves thanks so much for being with us appreciate you being there in the middle so we didn't have the right.

summer solution where every summer we look at solutions all the problems are on every other month of the year now today recovering to globalization the dollar is asian and china. process which is game speed but what has set in motion really on december 11th 22001 when china became a member of the world trade organization time now to turn to chris france and author of beating the dragon. how can you explain love i've been to 82 countries i've given 12 but i came here and i know 3 days i just feel that hope the car over. the kneecap really isn't it 6

show. i made my decision to come here because i felt and you i could build a new life you. know if you companies and. i was a free man i think god decided that this money is not going to be free prospero if we're all. here our where my one dream is that all my children 'd find the same kind of happiness i do. i love my home here i love cold weather i like the culture like the history i like everything about it. so i was i know that i shall. i am joined a russian farmer. as the u.s. economy was booming greening numbers of people when they need homes. you can work

40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still has the lead up to the reality of it we're not financially quantity and the lack of affordable housing for a living minimum wage gave many people new choice you know that's been a problem with the city knows turn. cold you stay away almost. half the for the for is low it's because yes that requires resources the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible clerks. might have been tonio in this. america's lawyer last week tech c.e.o.'s appeared before congress to face tough questions about their business practices facebook amazon google and apple were all grilled about their companies with republicans and

democrats actually teaming up against these giants tonight we'll talk about the hearings and what regulations might be coming down the pipeline also than a government watchdog has found an unprecedented amount of fraud in the coronavirus relief loans made to businesses we'll bring you the details and later in the show the 2020 presidential election is shaping up like nothing we've ever seen and we'll take you through all the twists and turns of the past week don't go anywhere america's lawyer starts right now. last week c.e.o.'s from amazon facebook and several other tech giants appeared before a house panel to defend their business practices and answer some really tough questions joining me to talk about that 'd is fair and cousins from trial lawyer magazine fair and you know as i watched this i was surprised at one thing it was almost it

was almost a bilateral kind of attack on these folks wasn't it was the you know occasionally it is nice to see them actually working together especially against this particular industry this is one that congress you know the federal government at every level has allowed to run rampant for 20 years almost with what a lot of these companies were 1st getting started and now they're trying to play catch up and i think that's part of the reason we see congress kind of uniting together against this because they let these these giants now grow and grow and grow in absorb every piece of competition along the way or crush every piece of competition along the way and now suddenly they're staring down these behemoths because i didn't address it at the time so we had 'd a 5 trillion dollar business that's what this is 5 trillion dollars you've got what's been described as a digital railroad problem what that means is we've always handled and i trust cases against the railroad against the steel industry we're not afraid to go in the

past we have not been afraid to go 'd after and i trust cases this department of justice has failed to do it and the reason is these folks are spending so much they're just spreading so much money around you know the easiest thing to me is to go after him on just absolutely say look you're 230 right you're chapter to 30 right is gong to take it yeah absolutely and then for anybody who's not familiar the 230 protection says that any of these giants specifically really though the social media once facebook twitter linked in they're not responsible for anything that gets posted on their website. so if you go on there and you say something horrible you issue threats the platform itself faces no liability over allowing you to say that and this is actually this goes back to a bill clinton's telecommunications act they included that as part of the telecommunications act the bill clinton signed into law and

a lot of what we're seeing i think you have to ringback take care of me bill clinton and i'm going to give this to you which is crazy what will not see a lot of the problems we see with these giants does stem from the clinton administration when he deregulated further the media industry it included these soon to be giants like it let's talk about that just a 2nd clinton comes in i swear to you it was about clinton and the democrats and we're going to get all this favorable press if we do these things so what do they do go back to 19 was $180.00 i think there were almost 60 different independent news medias that covered the entire country now it's down to 3 ok that's where it led to so this is they're looking at the same thing here you're looking at this this this this machine that appears to be above the law i mean we can they can just do whatever they were they create this nanny you know we now have this new nanny momentum we're going to decide what you can read and what you can't

read if we find it offensive you can't read it we're going to censor it this is out of control and i was shocked not to see warm and fuzzy jack from twitter not on that weren't you well i i think twitter since they're not necessarily gobbling up as many of their competitors as some of these other folks and they are i believe for the most part kind of strictly in the twitter business they have issues that have to be addressed but i think that's why they were probably excluded from this because with amazon google facebook and apple of course they also do. other pieces of industry and this was i think the primary focus on the antitrust which is which is huge amazon amazones everything you know amazon has security cameras from your home amazon has cloud computing amazon makes their own products and sells them giving those priority over competition who also sells on their

website this judge this shouldn't be allowed and technically legally it's not ok but they did they think about this ok bezos comes in puts mom and pop operations out of business all over the country now that's not enough for b.'s o's bizos now says well i'm going to see what's selling really well we're going to look at our metrics what sells real well then we're going to build the same thing and make it cheaper you understand so he's put he's put thousands and thousands of businesses out of business now it's not that's not enough for him now even the people that ship directly that make these products he says i'm going to copy what you do and i'm going to sell it cheaper on amazon this guy is a machine that has got to be stopped and the d.o.j. needs to man up and say look we've done it on railroads we've done it on steel we've done a time after time banking we've done it a lot of different ways we've got to stop this well and it's funny too because

these companies all try to use the same defense during the hearing and say listen but we're american we're american companies don't we want to make stuff in america don't we want to prevent the chinese they said from from taking over i mean they really dug their heels in on trying to claim to be the most american of americans but but really a lot of the stuff they make a lot of the stuff they sell it is in fact not coming from america at all let me run this by what was almost a laughable moment they c o c o of google search let me talk to you about your censorship let me talk to you about what you've done to the left and to the right. let me talk about how ridiculous your censorship is the guy comes back he said oh no it's a coincidence these are just algorithm mishaps did you hear that it's algorithm mishaps though there's nobody over it look it's happened to us hasn't it yes the saudi arabia right wanted a story on saudi arabia you did it i did it talk about that right we had

a good site we were talking about arms deals to saudi arabia google would not let it show up you tube pulled it which you tube is owned by google because they said it was hate speech yeah it was hate speech news of the day they said was hate speech well that's not the only time they've done it. they say i'm seeders dear friend of a we know who they're doing this to and they're doing it is it is the new nanny culture in this guy with this with google he's the nanny and he's decides what's acceptable what's not it's got to keep pressure on their newly unsealed court documents put bill clinton on jeff epstein's pedophile island creating a world of problems maybe for a hero already certain for the former president looked up to now a lot of this was just speculation right and then finally we had a judge that had courage and the judge says you know what this is coming in we're going to we're going to unseat what's what's happened here and now this story is

it's so credible i mean the you know let's go to jane doe 3 jane doe 3 comes out says look out and this was years ago brad edwards who we followed brad edwards as a friend he's a great lawyer down in south florida he's been he's been on this case forever and he says this was going on a long time bill clinton was one of the targets prince andrew was one of the targets dershowitz was one of the targets he mentioned the fact even in this that maxwell met some of these people at. trump's palace now in the south florida where you know also i got to say it's also a testament to brad edwards about how serious he. takes the the confidentiality because we have had countless conversations with him we have to learn this through the releasing the docs so good on him for having all these morals and ethics but yeah we now know according to these documents bill clinton would regularly be down there on jeffrey epstein's island jeffrey epstein was a member of mar

a lago which the organization said he never was but i think putting bill clinton on the island especially at this point in a presidential race. i think that is really bad news for the democratic party because this is the kind of figure normally you would want bill clinton going out there and campaigning because he was like hillary was not but he was this is this is toxic this is poison house how is corporate media handling or are they are they giving play to the fact it was dershowitz it was bill clinton it was prince andrew it was some of these other folks from wall street some of these high rollers from wall street they're name names it was trump i mean how are they handling it it's already gone it's already gone from the time they release these documents it popped in the news and went away just as quickly and that is what is so sick about this and part of it is because yeah these are powerful people and there's a lot more powerful people that have not yet been named and i honest to god believe

that there are plenty of people in media today who know about these things probably because they were there or they know someone who was and they don't want to ruffle any feathers they know eventually just lane is going to start naming more and more documents are going to come out but at least at one point people like clinton and dershowitz they had some you know they had an argument right you know you just own it and we had to go to africa this you know jane doe jane doe 3 says no it wasn't just that we were having orgies on the island bill clinton was there with young girls 'd she didn't know 'd their name i saw him there he was flying alone. express at what point you say dammit i mean you know just tell us the truth i don't want to hear anymore denials tell us the truth is like the same thing we went through with him before i mean you know. trump trunk's got to come forward ringback and say you know what yeah maxwell used to come to morrow largo i mean right and not try to skirt around this issue read there's too many photographs of both trump and clinton

with epstein and maxwell these were not casual acquaintances they were friends and as epstein like to say clinton owes him some favors and we'd love to know why the paycheck protection program is with fraud it's an ugly story isn't it is this was the p.p.p. loans the ones that were meant to keep small businesses afloat and you know we had already talked about all the big businesses coming in and snatching up all the money but now what we're seeing is they were also doing that while committing massive amounts of fraud because a lot of what happens here according to the inspector general's report is that you do have these companies that create a shell company essentially just to name only type companies they apply for a loan they get a loan and only after the fact of the find out wait a minute they didn't even have a bank account they didn't have any you know they didn't have anything this company doesn't exist and we just gave it all starts off s.b.a. doesn't want to release the material now now now the d.o.j.

has to do something that's the problem that that's the that's the trap that they're in right now. coming up the 2020 presidential race is getting more bizarre by the week it will be running through some of those unusual developments when we come back.

seemed wrong. wrong just don't. let me. get to shape out these days because etiquette and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. all across the board trump is down in the polls and not just by a full interview traditionally incumbency alone is enough to win the election but this time around it is a very strong need and let's be clear this is little to do with joe biden how do we get. a more robust world that would be one in which

we build business as usual but guess what. we prepared for car guns. a lot cheaper reduced mobility of the tourists it's a lot cheaper than having the. democrats aren't sure the joe biden can keep his lead in the polls if he has to debate donald trump on t.v. so fair and they're actually advising him don't show up don't do any any but the visual i have of this and i've actually seen kind of a cartoon rendition is biden in a closet sweating and he's tear you know he's terrified and then out in the oval office is e.g. pain from china and then he's got a crisis another words the point is if you're going to do this now in a debate what are you going to do when the rubber meets the road and we've got big

problems that's the way the right's going to play this right you know about a year ago new stories started coming out just kind of here in. their sources inside the white house said the trump was considering skipping the presidential debates and this was at a time when it looked like it was going to be anybody but biden is the democratic nominee and he said well it's because the networks are unfair to me now fast forward obviously 12 months trump wants more debates now because he sees who is opponent is and you have joe biden and the establishment centrists writing think pieces saying no joe biden shouldn't go because trump is just going to lie and joe biden's better than that trump doesn't deserve to be on the city that really there are that is what they're saying i read it this morning it was sick because of it. but trump's going to lie therefore we're not putting little joey 'd out in a debate stage that he or he's above that of bob that you see what the right's going to do with it oh absolutely every ad we see is going to be somewhere where

joe biden is held like a little sissy sissy girl hiding in a closet while there's some threat to the united states going to say if you want even if he won't even debate trump now what's going to happen in the real world i can't believe somebody says this is a good idea but is advisors are telling you this is a good idea don't show up it's to the point where on monday elizabeth warren had to come out and she says no no no no no he's going to the bait we i we you know we in the senate we're not telling him to not debate we want him to go forward with this because elizabeth warren is smart and elizabeth warren understands there is no good way for joe biden to back out of this and keep his dignity. that cannot happen. if they wanted this to actually be a thing they could have laid the groundwork long before we knew it was going to be joe biden but they didn't they could have done it all girly days of the pandemic

but they didn't now it looks like joe biden's doing great because he's invisible the numbers are closing i don't know if you're watching the come over hundreds of zone. the numbers are closing yeah and we're still a pretty good ways out and for him to say no i'm going to sit here and you know bite my nails look what i saw bill kristol of all people this is bill kristol who you might remember at the end of the hillary campaign he was one of her advisers so bill kristol comes out and says this is the best thing that could happen because we're going to be able to spin this is it won't be fair as you say trump is a liar the american public doesn't care anymore this is just for media this is just for ratings in the media if you don't think that most americans want to see what happens on the stage because what's true been doing trump spin psion the guy's scene now he's saying he's cuckoo he's he's held up in his in his he's held up in his basement he won't come out this plays right into it will it when we were just

having the democratic debates joe biden would say some horrible things there were some really embarrassing soundbites from him where he couldn't remember his own website name he couldn't remember certain events he was telling weird stories at the time and so he would only get high praise from people if he didn't screw up during the debate and that only happened once or twice and that's the only time he did well not because he said something great but because he didn't say something stupid and we're looking at 2 men this would be i would love to see it because this would be insanity this would be everybody's going to want to see is like it's like a mud wrestling match. but if you say nah hey i want to show up and then they try to justify it with that nonsense those not all the public doesn't care this is all for a media trumps going to lie how stupid you know what i'm going to tell you go back and look at the last several before obama take a look at the advisers they were involved in making calls here they have the

democrats have a knack for bringing in these s.o.t. . eric thinkers the don't understand what's going on in middle america that's what's happening here again last week from baxley bragged about pushing low income americans out of suburbs i didn't make that up he actually twittered look you know if if i'm elected president you don't have to worry about low income folks come in and you don't have to worry about crime i couldn't get my head around that what's your reaction to it well this you know this this is the proverbial dog whistle it is what this is he is trying to kind of harken back to the fear but he's doing it a different way because you know 2 weeks ago was in joe biden's america you're going to have these riots you're going to have all these horrible people coming to your neighborhood they're trying to new things so now he says ok will that didn't scare you what about the thought of everything you've worked for suddenly it loses

value your home is worthless because all of these popo moved into your neighborhood and suddenly everybody looks at this and they say whoa oh my did you really just say that because this isn't you know the 950 s. anymore it was unapologetic very i don't it was yes i you know i it double down yeah he's more than 2 separate occasions i mean so you hear you've got the president and you're right look he learned something and he thinks he learned something from lee atwater 'd and donald cigarette ian call rove and all these folks they came up with a southern strategy this is just another variation on a southern strategy it's the same thing they used against you know dukakis it's the same thing that it always comes up it's always the go to question is whether they go to work so if you recall 'd we had. we had david lamb who's a pollster on the show a couple weeks ago he says he doesn't think it's working but i'm watching just

watch the poll it's closing in it's close especially in the in the in the battleground states the. the party is working on their platform for 2020 and so far they're voting. almost can't say that they're voting against the popular proposals to appease their corporate donors give me the list top of the list to try to go after corporate donors on wall 'd street what is the platform say no medicare for all no legalize medical marijuana which both of these are programs that are supported by nearly 2 thirds of the public i think legalizing marijuana is even higher i think that's almost 3 quarters of the country says yes do this but democrats and they're framing it by the way as their their appeal to the suburban housewife you know trump had his appeal biden's doing his hey listen i'm not going to force you want to this health care i'm not going to let your kid smoke weed i'm

not going to let anything different happen to your life i'm the one who's going to preserve you they always pander to the mythical suburban housewife but what's really happening is you said this is the way to keep the donors happy to let the donors know health care we're not going to make you lose money because marijuana is legalized and people can use that as a back to treatment for so many things that's what this is about this is how usually happens we have done it we've been talking about this topic for so long democrats come out on social issues they're good on gender they're good on raise their you know they're always out front on social issues but what they always get away with because nobody pays attention is what they do to us on money issues like look you've got the vast vast public that says it's a good ad did i have universal health care where one of the few nations in the world in the industrial few industrial nation we might be the only one i'm not sure

but we're one of the few that don't have a personal health care when you consider advanced industrial nation is what we would be can. right so so so the democrats come out and say yeah we don't want we don't want universal health care right you know the way i framed this when i had 1st talked about this was the fact that the democrats came men not having any opposition they didn't have opposition from the public they didn't have to worry about an opposition party they came in with nothing but themselves and they still compromised they compromise with nobody there was nobody to make a deal with and they still somehow lost the deal ok so listen here they think they're ahead right now with biden right and so that if you think you're ahead why don't you go ahead in reach and do stuff that might actually move the ball for the american public for example on marijuana 76 percent of democrats 76 percent believe that marijuana should be legalized but oh no we can't do it why because biden

doesn't want to do that's one of his pet that's one of his pet peeves i don't want to legalize marijuana but i just always amazed at the lack of courage the democrats are always willing to show when they know that if it any time this is the time when they can show it get 30 seconds won't you read you know do people like to say well the democrats are going to fight back against republicans the democrats won't even fight back against themselves they are not strong enough to do this they are not strong they don't care enough to come out with a backbone and say no listen this is the right thing the public actually likes it democrats and republicans alike let's do it do you know how many kool-aid drinkers are going to come out the. akhi for saying that because it's all tribal they can't think outside that little tribal thing the mess in d.c. delivers on the nightly programs this is all they can think about you want to expand your thought process a little bit fair and cousin thank you for joining me thank you that's all for

you. it's 2 kids. across the u.s. crude puppy mills are supported by dog shows and pet stores most of the puppies that are coming from these large scale factory farming kind of operations are being sold in stores even giant a good businesses are involved like cargill and mom center there has been a shocking amount of the organizing opposition to efforts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding for so many most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with jobs don't buy dog on our team.

a short time ago on an american airplane on hiroshima. stake a claim any money even some political class and got stuck with the one hour one day when you don't know the answer to it's. i like most americans growing up after the war the bombs were a great thing they ended the war they say hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides and that's what my grandfather always said was his reason for the decision. truman was hoping for a dual strategy one was to drop the bombs and hope that japan would surrender the number 2 the americans were trying to send a message to the soviet union there was american poor planning in october 145 and had chosen 20 targets and russia.

live from the world headquarters of the r.t. america in our nation's capital this is the news with rick sanchez. i got to run am rick sanchez want to welcome all of you who are watching us all over the world including those of you who are watching us on your phones on the portable t.v. and i want to begin by showing you remarkable images taken by satellites provided by the russian space agency or also calls here it is to take a look at this picture the image that you see on top see the dividing line is the port area and bay route what it looked like before that massive and still somewhat mysterious blast that occurred yesterday while we were on the air while in the area below 'd the line that's what it looked like after the explosion and this

is pretty remarkable i mean let me just show you some highlights here just to tell us straight the significance you see that area that you see right there see that right there there's nothing there right i mean look at the size of the buildings that were essentially taken out just prior to that and just to show you how it affects communities concentrator focus on that area right there you see that i mean those are homes that were 234 stories high right there you see them before the blast they were essentially leveled gone. that's remarkable stuff. now i want to show you what it looks like at ground level and why people there are still really dealing with the impact of what happened here yesterday morning and afternoon look at this look at the images this is what's left on the ground using.

i mean you can begin to understand the magnitude of this explosion more than 100000 people have lost their homes hundreds and hundreds more are either dead or missing they can't even find them because of this blast. because the look on these people's faces. estimates of those injured range in the $5000.00 maybe $3000.00 or more and then there's a concern over the dangers of the residue in the toxic gases remember what you're looking at there appears to have been caused by an explosion of tons of ammonium nitrate which is highly explosive and toxic so we're left now with the question what is it is it possible that it was sabotage what are the usual suspects saying you know has ball israel what are they saying about this we have team coverage on this still puzzling story right here on the news with rick sanchez where we believe it's time to do news again.

here is our list of the questions we think you'll be asking the morrow after watching this newscast today what happened in beirut and who might be responsible is universal basic income becoming a reality in one american city and how have politics and sports influence want to know one another over the years the controversies let's ask larry king. we're going to begin with what is being called a historic if not almost cataclysmic explosion in beirut right now the culprit seems to be the mere accumulation of ammonium nitrate stored in huge quantities for years at the port there in beirut and if that's the case by the way that in and of itself seems horribly negligent think about that what is ammonium nitrate you may not know look at this building that's ammonium nitrate this is the same agent

ammonium nitrate that was used by domestic terrorist timothy mcveigh when he did this when he used that agent to blow up the federal building the alfred p. murrah building in oklahoma city killing by the way many many children who are nursery and get this this ammonium nitrate i'm talking about it's almost 50 percent as powerful as t.n.t. it's used as an agent to make fertilizer and it can go off with just a cigarette butt that's left on the ground. so was it an accident was it sabotage was it ignorance it was or a combination of all 'd of these things that caused this explosion. we have team coverage of this story for you today but i got official michael maloof is an expert on this particular region or to course want to polish lawyer is a middle east correspondent for us but rather your colleague is a bit of a journalist who was on the grown bear in beirut with the blast occurred and that's where we're going to begin with ron you know because she was there and she could

share with us what's being felt there now and what it was like to be there when it happened rather pick a way. to be there and happened it was extremely terrifying. like an earthquake and then the windows blew out and then there was a loud explosion and it was very frightening luckily i wasn't injured but a lot of people were i was at the hospital yesterday and it was just complete panic and chaos and people searching for their loved ones. every single building residential commercial restaurants shops hotels nothing was left untouched in beirut there's just broken windows and apartments everywhere it's completely devastating the damage is widespread in a way like no one's ever seen. and today i mean today the cleanup began people started cleaning up of course there's tears about toxic fumes in the air but you know there were a lot of people apparently from the south of lebanon who came up to try and help

clean up the mess. you know i spent the day cleaning up my own apartment there was a lot of there was damage inside my apartment lots of glass everywhere luckily i wasn't here to get hit by any of it but just a really really frightening day and now you know people are asking questions how did this happen. and it appears that you know it was no instance 2014 when this substance was confiscated that it's been stored at the port in beirut * and people are really angry about that because there are regulations on how to. or ammonium nitrate if you knows how to make it so make sure it's safe and the lebanese government for some reason decided to store it in a very dead and the most densely populated area of the country the port the economic lifeline of the country and now that's just right so there's a lot of anger in the streets at the authorities thanks so much we certainly appreciate you giving us a 1st person perspective of what it's like on the ground paula i want to bring you into this conversation because as you know with

a story like this if you and i were to go right now on social media or on the googles as they say we would find all kinds of stories all kinds of accusations about this. maybe terrorism that it may be israel what all or usual suspects in this case saying people hurl accusations at them about their possible complicity in this act. well in the preface my comments by saying that we are hearing from the interior ministry in lebanon not to speculate the prime minister saying that an official investigation has been launched and that those responsible will be brought to book but of course that hasn't stopped the speculation from happening as the main culprits of people initially pointing fingers at what israel and hizbollah israel almost immediately came out saying that they were not responsible in fact israel has since the. party mediators and off of humanitarian and medical assistance saying that it can treat up to 2000 lebanese in

its hospitals the 2 countries taking all but israel making and as of yet no response from the lebanese side now why speculation and why fingers pointing at israel of course is that israel in the past has carried all to aerial bombings in lebanon we houses belonging to his but now we know that ammonium nitrate was in this warehouse what is not clear is what was it doing there and who was it belonging to we also don't know what was the trigger so some was suggesting that it was. an explosion that was caused by the israelis in retaliation against hezbollah but as i say both and also hizbullah have denied that the other thing the planting is against hezbollah there's some speculation that hizbullah is responsible for store in this ammonium nitrate he has denied this and so there's nothing to back up the speculation that it could have been his but of course this is what the investigation needs to determine is why why why why was the simonian nitrate of

which we know 2750 tons in this way house in the 1st place and who was responsible for it let me bring you into this conversation i know that you have a lot of folks there in beirut with their ears to the ground as to what's going on . is it possible that it may have been a combination of ignorance. and sabotage and carelessness that caused this. but it's probably all 3. the fact that it was stored for for quite a number of years i think 5 or 6 years and nothing was done about a quarter did get arrested or under house arrest. there have been appeals to judges there to try and get it and the. speculation i mean i have a friend who has a business you can look go out on the balcony and see all that entire area. was absolutely smashed the balconies caved. fell and he had to take

a lot of his employees to the hospital so it really touches a personal cord at that point they said also that i was lost and i did ask you a question and i don't know in the control room of we have video of the explosion let's all watch it together if we have it because the thing i want to point out of we're able to get this video of the explosion is there doesn't seem to be as we've seen in the past. michael the. other discharge other than the accident where the explosion seeming to emanate from the ground itself we don't see any missile fire we don't see anything else around there that seems to have. if you'll pardon the phrase stimulate the explosion michael i'll let you have the 1st word on that level let me respond to that i have had 3 so independent sources tell me that i am one up in germany which is just up the coast from beirut in fact you

can see the city is unique from beirut but a woman told me that 2 low flying jets came right over just before the explosion and i had a i got another video this morning of people looking up in the air listening hearing subjects fly over and it's really just fly over there all the time and then all of a sudden you see this this wave the shock wave it and everything is a deliberative and and a 3rd source gave me information showing that untouched picture of a missile coming in so i think the cigs need to be investigated i'm not saying that that they are actual you know i'm just saying that these are things that have to be looked at i understand the minister of interior is denial of these things have to be looked at very very seriously i don't follow this and there was actually was too much there was too paula giving us the official word that she's getting as a journalist from the officials there and that's what we want her to do. let me

just bring you in you were there you talk to the people i imagine you talk to a lot of other people but anybody else say anything but you. are i have seen no evidence of that and i experienced it myself i didn't hear any airplanes furthermore you know. people close to saying that this was an accident and the general security in lebanon is saying it's and the israelis are denying usually if the israelis are behind something they don't give an official denial they just kind of. you believe what you want to believe they can sort of take credit for it but they're denying it. so it does seem to be that this was an action and furthermore you know the fact that lebanon has an extremely dysfunctional government it's like i knew a liberal. in lebanon where there is really no rules and regulations and the government is a power structures made up of people who just are we don't yell and you're not the

1st person to say that it's been fired by the situation as far as we understand with some of the problems that they're having there but paula let me bring you in and i want you to have the last word on this what happens in a situation like this where you have so much going about in a story with much attention on it and so many deaths involved do you fear this will turn into some kind of reaction in the middle east. well no at this stage in the middle east it's not that it's going to turn into any kind of reaction what we have seen is an outpouring of support for the lebanese government as as we we're hearing now the seems to be a consensus that it was an accident the israelis and hezbollah denying it and that seems to be taking the mainstream understanding in terms of what is happening and and so we have countries such as egypt canada the united states united kingdom right across the international community offering to support of course you might be

aware that russia is sending 5 planeloads of aid and support so there is an outpouring of support and that's coming from the international community and from the middle east so at this stage a lot of people seem to be adhering to what we were hearing the official word from the jordanian government is let's wait and see what in full investigation determined smart you're biting your lip to get it i'll give you a 2nd because that's all i got. yesterday trouble said after talking to generals that it looked like it was. pressed on that he reinforced that and you know people are saying all come on that that's true but you know he's the one who said he was being spied on that no one believed in michael and paula and randy my thanks to all 3 of you important conversation the one that people should hear otherwise they will feel like something is being hidden problem it's all out there and transparent and in the open thank you to all 3 of you we appreciate the information on this

devastation that we're seeing in beirut we're going to be right back this is the news reports that. something you your sports. oh. my. an ocean of stories

even the news. can overwhelm you. your way i know you want to let me bring you back. the questions. number. and lists as such and bring all in so just that. it. remains a question. i'm a journalist it's all i know being a truth teller people say i make among come from good news is like a jackhammer good drill down i think find the truth news with rick sanchez because it's time to do news again and question more. i like it when the hosts ask the

question of the guests and then actually listens to the yes answer and then reacts to that that's a folks dennis miller here i've got a new show. hey welcome back i'm rick sanchez now to pittsburgh where the mayor has now just his city is going to be participating in a program that's going to receive funding from twitter the twitter of c.e.o.'s name is thought and jack dorsey he says he's going to make his residence eligible to get hundreds of dollars in guaranteed monthly income right remember that in the presidential campaign the democratic presidential campaign that conversation came up but it's part of the latest city to launch a guaranteed income program from twitter's cofer. under. the charges explained how

this was going to work. pittsburgh méribel could you tell us says that residents who qualify will start receiving $500.00 a month of guaranteed income a move he says will help benefit their lives today pittsburgh the latest of 15 cities to launch a guaranteed income program to help residents the money used to start the program coming from a $3000000.00 donation made by twitter c.e.o. jack dorsey in july to help those struggling during the economic crisis brought on by the coronavirus pandemic dorsey said in a tweet earlier this month this is one to look close the wealth and income gap level systemic race and gender inequalities and create economic security for families so far dorsey's gift is benefiting cities including atlanta seattle and los angeles whose members formed a network of mayors for a guaranteed income and initiative that was 1st led by the mayor of stockton california michael tubbs in 2019 when he gave $125.00 or cyprian's $500.00

a month for 24 months now according to reports this summer early indications show that the money given to residents has had a positive influence not only on the receivers but also on their communities so now other cities across the country are looking at implementing similar ideas meantime in pittsburgh there's been no word yet on how many residents will receive payments reporting the news for rick sanchez treated each other as r t. 3 body we go in there. i'm sure we'll be hearing a lot of stories on this conversation but we'll leave it where it is right now because we want to turn a subject something else that's pretty cool history is replete with examples of sports and politics and politics mixing in a very controversial but important way there was the famous hitler embarrassed but provided by none other than jesse owens he was an african-american beat the crap out of all the nazis on the ground there was 968 john carlos and tommie smith. they

shocked the world of mexico city with that what you're looking at right there it was amazing what an iconic moment that was and we you know even as a kid i remember look at the screen go it really was no and then came mohammad ali he said he was going to go to vietnam at the vietnamese have never called him the word why should he go kill overshooting he went to jail more recently there was column capper nick and his famous nero which cost him his career and millions of dollars. but now something different is taking place just in the last couple of nights i don't know if you guys have had a chance to watch the n.b.a. but the n.b.a. is actually embracing as a league everybody black white the owners the coaches all the players and the league to get better embracing black lives matter. joining us now the host of politicking and my colleague larry king to talk a little bit about what's going on larry i mean it's a gets an interesting perspective the way this thing has played out and where we

are now compared to the things that you and i have seen in our life isn't it never saw anything like this how when this broke with the killing in minnesota and the way to listen lasted this is a stretch that's unbelievable it's going to go right into the election campaign and when it hits november. the n.b.a. has to be saluted in my opinion for getting on this 1st they have outstanding leadership in the national best war so she and of course they are a league that is predominately black. but still and so amazingly unity that they're showing an issue of politics and sports go i was 5 years old at the time but match yeah germinate if i came to find joel or so we've got that picture and hello which are letters for american where we've got that picture of chanel it joe louis beat max schmeling schmeling whether or not r r but he represented the nazis right. no good i'll correct you there one schmeling

beat him the 1st time shelling me lewis in a fight in new york and it was no one believed that they had a rematch and lewis not doubt schmeling early but schmeling went on to be strongly anti nazi spoke against them as it causes he lived in europe and he was quite a fighter but there was politics reigning because germany was beginning its invasions of various countries and he was this german heavyweight who did defeat joe louis in that 1st fight. you know it's funny i think back to. how different it was 968 i'm a little kid i'm sitting there in miami with my mom and dad my dad and i watch sports together all the time and suddenly when we saw tommie smith and john carlos raised their hands and at the time the country was going through all kinds of strife and it was not embraced in fact i think the networks looked at it as an

embarrassment everybody attacked them if they did it today they would be embraced. so it's going to he's a gym front on the right and this this story keeps going where it doesn't have been slow it's constant and every day there's a story regarding it you can't you can't break away from it if you're into sports you know all about it plus that the virus is affecting baseball baseball set a cancel quite a few games then i should is going to be n.f.l. and mad as politically and twined to what do what do you do of your commission of the n.f.l. and the president says you got it you got to play. you what do you do you know a. lot going on rick yeah i will tell you this though. you know just to make me feel good my minnesota twins are right now the best team in baseball thank you very much sorry. you know those of us close

behind is colorado yes they are but companies look good or a colorado looks good and then of course the yankees the best team that money can buy larry king love our conversations always do i could knock your egg i was going to talk for i would see a guy you know just sit around and just talk about everything you know we've worked together we've done so many things but what he's saying is true about sports and we're seeing something happen now you know this is your valley where you cover the world of sports and we're seeing things we haven't seen before tiger woods making headlines today for example yes yes one sport that is able to go on of course the p.g.a. so we're seeing golf and put their 1st major of the season because it was delayed of course it was supposed to happen in may but the u.s. p.g.a. championship is happening august 6th tomorrow in san francisco and tiger woods of course going for his 16th major now and he's out there practicing that was earlier today looking good looking like he's healthy and ready to get back in there but of course he was reluctant to join the tour of yeah the 1st few events because the ones he doesn't mean that money exactly. well for the rest of us you know i'd be

another guy who made it i need to work exactly as don't get a salary. they only get paid if they play if i play well right and of course endorsements for tiger people like him but you know he's chasing those majors of course jack nicklaus has 18 and so he he's right behind him that 15 right now but you know he talked about it was interesting how it was to play a few weeks ago at memorial in his 1st tournament back without fans so take a listen to what he has to say about really generally by time you make the back 9 there's thousands of people out there on the golf course. waiting for the leaders to tee off but that never never happened so that's just a new world we live in and we just have to get used to it most of times when you go from green to t. people yelling or. trying to touch you that's. you know that part is different as far as energy and competing and playing no that's that's the same pretty intense when i play and pretty into what i'm doing. locked and it doesn't

seem to affect mr woods there with no fans but one thing that is being affected is and i think larry made mention of this when we're talking football is going to be affected and i think you're hearing. the very 1st clarion call yes the 1st f.b.s. school so football bowl subdivision basically division one a school now is. officially suspending their college football season they announced today and that's going to trigger a chain reaction across the college football landscape of course because now they're an independent school they left the a.c.c. of course conference but all those power 5 conferences the big 10 c.c. a.c.c. they're going to conference only schedules now and a shortened season like the big 10 outs there are 10 games shortened it all only see the photo if it all of course. they also said today they have by august 21st each individual division to decide if they're going to have a season so that's coming up but yeah it's not looking good for college football that seems to be the 1st domino to fall in college you know it's a great opportunity if i had a division 2 or division 3 league yes i would make sure since they don't make any

money on fans anyway because nobody goes to division 2 or division 3 games or i would do a deal with the s. . or some other outfit to broadcast my games and make millions of dollars yes because broadcast deals where the money is but you have to get the eyeballs there to what to watch those schools division $2.00 and $3.00 schools and in order to get a deal to broadcast all fans with nothing on television but division 3 or division 2 would watch division but also if they're not going to put the players from the power 5 converses at risk for the scope of 19 they're not going to do with the smaller schools so you know they're going to carry less i think we'll see i wouldn't be surprised but mark my word if they're smart they're going to play that and it's a good idea always and it will always a conversation you and i you know going back and forth on things i think you might be wrong on this one i. would certainly expect so much for being with us appreciate you being there in the moment it's always been his right.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sport this list i'm showbusiness i'll see that. i know no crowd. no shots. actually felt. no just. switch your thirst for action. all across the board trump is down in the polls and not just by a full interview traditionally incumbency alone is enough to make feel sick but

this time around it is a very strong and let's be clear this is a little to do it joe. how do we get. a. summer solution where every summer we look at solutions on the problems on every other month of the year now today recovering. dollars ation and trying if the process which is game speed under trump but what has set in motion really on december 11th 22001 when china became member of the world trade organization time now to turn to chris fenton author of beating the dragon.

this is boom boss the one business show you can't afford to miss friendship or in washington coming up we have disappointing jobs that are out of the united states as lawmakers appear to be deadlocked on another stimulus package will break down the effect on the economy and what's moving markets with our future in jeopardy our influence is going to be a fact that we have a content creator on hand to discuss we have a packed show today so let's dive right in. and we lead the program with the latest jobs jobs that are out of the united states the private sector added just $167000.00 jobs in the month of july according to payroll company 80 pete now the growth was disappointing as a columnist.
