must protect its own existence and existence. i. this is boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss for in washington coming up we have disappointing jobs data out of the united states as lawmakers appear to be deadlocked on another stimulus package we'll break down the effect on the economy and what's moving markets plus with a start in jeopardy how our influence is going to be affected 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 job data jobs data out of the united states the private sector added just
4:31 am
$167000.00 jobs in the month of july according to payroll company 80 pete now the growth was disappointing as economists expected between one and 2000000 new jobs to be filed for the month with the actual number falling well below the more than 4000000 jobs that were created in june now despite 3 months of job growth the jobs market has not been able to rebound from that nearly 20000000 jobs lost in march and april at the start of stay at home orders due to the pandemic meanwhile when it comes to government assistance for those affected by the pandemic it appears lawmakers are still deadlocked on the next round of stimulus however there are some moves senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said tuesday he would support a bill that extends $600.00 weekly unemployment checks something that has been a point of contention if democrats were able to reach a deal with the white house on an overall plan for more on the state of the economy and what's moving markets wednesday let's go ahead and bring in blue bus co-host chris. kristie let's start with this payroll growth it's slowing down but that's
4:32 am
not the whole story break down the report for us you know saw as you said the jobs numbers that was way worse than expectations that only one $167000.00 jobs added in july so this cussed low down kind of confirms that any sort of v. shaped recovery that everybody was hoping for that's clearly over and out of the picture and all of that 167000 jobs 166000 were in the services category which makes sense given that the u.s. is a services based economy however only a 1000 of those jobs were actually in the goods producing category so that number actually came in really really low which shows that the manufacturing recession that is definitely here and and will be here for the foreseeable future natural resources mining and construction took a huge hit and now if you look at the gain most of the gains actually came from larger companies while small and mid-sized companies they are still struggling and even slashing jobs within services those gains are primarily in the professional education and health care sectors while information and financials declined so
4:33 am
despite these awful a.d.p. numbers the market action actually still green today which shows that bad news is good news as we love to say thanks to trump who said that there will be another big jobs number on friday and that he might might suspend the payroll tax in order to supercharge the economy. kristie it seems like the 2 sides are making some sort of progress despite trying to figure out a deadlock as millions of americans are are now at a risk of poverty or homelessness how is the situation with the stimulus looking as not being that great because by the end of august over $5000000.00 americans they will be unable to cover basic living expenses without the extra $600.00 of unemployment payments that had lapsed last week so right now about $30000000.00 americans are collecting jobless benefits but without that extra 600 dollars 44 percent of them are receiving less than $800.00 a month so by the end of august analysts estimate that about $5400000.00 americans are going to be financially in. solvent and over 9000000 by the end of september so
4:34 am
these figures are actually pretty conservative good given that they don't even take into account the americans who are who will lose their jobs in the near future in the coming months given that businesses are permanently shutting down and they're not restarting they will not get their jobs back and layoffs have not stopped in the small and as small businesses shutter this vicious cycle will just continue because the job market will shrink and crissy of course whenever there is a concern about the recovery or any type of recovery gold prices go up and prices are rocketing to a new record high on wednesday after smashing past $2000.00 for the 1st time is there still room to run for gold because it seems like no matter what it's going to continually go up at some point well this is actually a really exciting time in gold as the weaker the dollar is as the falling and the falling returns of the u.s. bond market that's driving investors to continually hoard gold and drive the prices up so gold in total of this year year to date has risen 34 percent already as
4:35 am
a safe haven climate is safe havens in this climate is really really scarce and this is a huge deal as gold broke the $2000.00 level for the 1st time investors right now are fearing that the economic stimulus that was released in order to counter this pandemic that will trigger and cycle that will devalue other assets right now real returns on u.s. bonds they have already fallen sharply making the non yielding gold way more attractive so with on going to terry in the u.s. dollar the u.s. yield curve the opportunity cost in the cost of caring for gold that is getting less and less and right now there's also silver silver prices are also surging rising about 48 percent this year year to date as it is a very similar monetary asset very similar to gold but it also benefits from its use as an industrial model as well kristie we all know how hard it is free to talk so positively about the gold market but we appreciate it we'll get the big point sometime later this week co-host christiane thank you so much for that insight thank you. and it seems like. every day there is
4:36 am
a new issue for global economies affected by the corona virus and today is no different in fact we are now beginning to see the effects of how the virus and the economic lock downs which have followed have devastated emerging markets investors are bracing themselves for more defaults and disruptions within these those markets after argentina's deal with creditors was highlighted how bad things have become for some economies in the case of argentina the nation has now reached an agreement with its major foreign private creditors to restructure $65000000000.00 in debt though some analysts believe that this bailout from the fund could involve massive economic overhauls that might be unpopular in the country joining us now to discuss is school bus co-host and investigative journalist ben swan and host of economic update professor richard well thank you both for being here today professor wolf i want to start with you what does this restructure deal look like in argentina and is it a good or bad thing. it's
4:37 am
a disaster for the poor country it's really hard to wrap your head around that 1st of all worried it hurts a deal with the private creditors that banks and hedge funds and so forth that lend all that money to argentina we need prime argentino will get the ability to stretch out the debt or delay payments until or later date they still owe the money they didn't really get it released but they don't have to pay as soon as they are wise might it gives them breathing room but here's the basic problem whatever they now do with the i.m.f. as they work out they're probably debts on top of their private debts remember that the borrowing is gone by a tiny group of bankers and politicians at the top they get a lot of benefits out of the borrower but when you have a crash like the global capitalist system now rises how are you going to pay it back and the answer always is squeeze lemanis the people cut the public services
4:38 am
or raise the taxes or both to find the money that won't go to the people anymore but will go to pay off the debts it's a vicious cycle it's been going on for a long time and with this crisis it means that it has finally hit the road i'm going 3rd world and then that will wash back and make our economic difficulties greater too it's a very sad process and to professor wolf's point the total amount of debt owed by argentina has been massive and with their history of defaulting on loans was this to be expected. well yeah i think absolutely was to be expected remember this this deal with the i.m.f. is not a very old deal it's only really just a few months old in which this deal was reached and yet as the professor rightly said argentina finds itself in a very difficult position here but mostly the people of argentina more so than
4:39 am
anyone else consider the fact the nation owes about $323000000000.00 total but even as we look at at what is owed i think it's also interesting to look at to whom it is yes the i.m.f. is part of that but there is one american investment company called black rock it is the world's largest asset manager and it controls about half of that debt in argentina and i think when you think about it in those terms you know it's different then a nation state borrowing or with your borrowing money from a nation state in this case you have private equity firms that control the massive debt of an entire nation and therefore dictate the terms of repayment and what does that look like to the people what does it look like for resources in the country what does it look like for issues like you know the energy sector in the country at what point those asset managers have the ability to begin to liquidate or take control of parts of the country or parts of the economy it's a very weird situation right now professor wolfe you actually spoke about what this
4:40 am
will mean for the people of argentina as this will basically be passed out of them how much sovereignty is the nation giving up with this debt restructuring. well he gave up their sovereignty wanted decided in the 1st place to borrow these kinds of money like there's a blunt reality they could have reduced their debt maybe even avoided it had they been willing to tax the rich inside our room to to raise the money to make that economy work they were unwilling or politically on able to do it so instead they borrowed money to save the taxing the rich and now they want the mass of the people to pay the bill for not having tax the rich are not asked me oh you could only play that game a certain number of times and squeeze the mass of your people a certain number of times what you're doing up for here is
4:41 am
a social explosion when people in argentina and other countries say if not we're not going to do this anymore and now ben you know professor of just much of it other countries because our duty to isn't the only latin american nation dealing with this problem problem we have the same situation in ecuador what's going on there. you have so little in fact ecuador just got support from its majority of bondholders are restructuring about $17400000000.00 in debt as well and it is a similar situation happening in ecuador and in fact the leadership of ecuador is very similar in terms of mentality and thought process as the leadership of argentina wanting to go out and borrow these massive amounts of money restructuring debt but i think something the professor said is is true you know in the u.s. we have a tendency to look at latin american countries especially countries that have seen socialist revolutions in those countries nations like venezuela and will say well how could this possibly happen how could the people ever fall in to socialism
4:42 am
without recognizing that exactly what's happening right now in argentina and ecuador are pushing the people towards that kind of revolution because as he said you get a small group of people who dominate the country control the population and ng game the economy for their own benefit and the only answer to that is some kind of revolution robust co-host bents want to professor rolf thank you both for breaking that down for us thank you thanks. time now for a quick break here because when we return the video has heated up and its future remains uncertain what will the fate of the planet be the platform influencers straight ahead we bring in 1st take on what we can expect never go to break here are the numbers of all the green arrows across the board. ilk.

who had chosen 20 targets and russia. welcome back as the world continues to grapple with controlling the copen 1000 let's take another global look at the trends and spread of the virus with our key correspondents. are where we when's that sobran more than 18500000 people around the world have been diagnosed with covered 1000 as of wednesday more than 300008 new cases just in the last 24 hours now the global death toll has surprise 707000 which means nearly $5900.00 people are dying every 24 hours 247 an hour or one person every 15 seconds and you're more
4:46 am
likely to die from kuwait in $1000.00 here in the u.s. than almost anywhere in the world which now has over $4900000.00 confirm that and over 161000 deaths now here in the u.s. california remains to be the stayed with the highest number of cases florida follows which has surpassed 500000 cases today wednesday then texas new york and georgia but new york still has the highest number of deaths at over 330001 other state neighboring new jersey has crossed the 10000 mark in its death toll and now looking at the numbers globally does it would you give to know latin america has surpassed europe to become the region with the highest number of death toll now the region in fact has not recorded more than 206000 deaths
4:47 am
approximately 30 percent of the global total brazil the latin american country with the most affected by cold in 1000 recorded a total of 96326 deaths now the say mexico the 2nd most affected country in the region. now has over 48000 deaths have also occurred in. chile ecuador argentina and bolivia and brand this pandemic was initially actually slower to reach a latin america which is home to about 865650 1000000 people but government officials have since really struggled to control this part of the virus because more than 100000000 people across latin america live in extreme poverty with no way of social distancing and continue to work throughout the pandemic and now quickly here is the top 10 countries with the most covert cases right now so as you can see even in parts of the world that don't live in poverty there's been
4:48 am
a record number of cases i mean just take a look at the u.s. the number one country with the most cases and deaths and other nations like australia japan hunk kong sudan ethiopia bulgaria belgium was becca stott and israel have all recently had record increases in new cases as well r.t. correspondents are taboo thank you for keeping us up to date. and now for the latest on the ongoing saga involving social media app tick-tock as we previously reported president donald trump has said he will ban the app in the u.s. by september 15th unless a deal can be made for microsoft or another american company to purchase tick tocks u.s. operations one point that has confused onlookers is the president's contention that a portion of the purchase of the app should have to go to the treasury now white house press secretary kelly mcenaney was asked about this on tuesday but offered
4:49 am
little clarification i'm not going to get ahead of the president on any official action but he has made that point and he and the secretary pompei i have said that the u.s. action to the u.s. will take action in the coming days and. chinese apps including tick tock tick tock scuse me due to the national security risk and we all agree that there needs to be a change especially with take tok collecting significant amounts of private data on users it's unacceptable now meanwhile president trump himself spoke to reporters on tuesday and referenced the overwhelming popularity of the juggernaut app. tick-tock is very successful it does tremendous business in the united states people are riveted by it i mean i have many friends when they saw that announcement they're calling i think their kids love it they don't because it will get to see their kids anymore but they are it's an amazing thing whatever it may be. this week we have discussed the cyber security issues as well as the business implications regarding
4:50 am
the situation with tic toc but this all raises the question of how will this move affect those who make tick-tock what it is and that's the content creators so let's go ahead and bring in one of the top tick-tock influencers zach king into the show zach big you so much for joining us we really appreciate it today. now i want to start with what the president actually just talked about there at the highly popular why has tick-tock been able to open that door and become so popular especially over the last 12 months here in the united states. i mean you know as an influencer on. really in this industry for the last 12 years you know i've been on 6 music we 5 years ago and so for us the rise wasn't even in this last year that's made it successful i mean there's been a lot of in the last year but what they've been doing from the beginning i just a couple years ago was there out with so power on that it leveled the playing field for anyone who wants to as a stone and can make a little fun story or a joke or do
4:51 am
a dance or whatever maybe there's a ton of different ecosystems that creators on the internet on tick tock but allows anyone to have the chance to go viral on a totally different level that's that's bigger than we've seen possible with you tube that's bigger than we were instagram and by an event so that's why it's so exciting i think that's the drop not only is it you are but i'm especially for those viewers who are trying to concentrate on the al because that definitely as a as a viewer of tick-tock even if you don't create your own content it's very consumable so if you're getting a short video it's got a lot of them are music and dance so it gives you something to not only watch but listen to is very enjoyable in that regard now when it comes to this potential purchase from microsoft do you have any concerns about the control of the app changing hands to a different company or an outright ban for that matter how is that going to affect the content creators. so the 2 main options that are present on say we're now are then we should be a bummer because there are so many people who love the app to talk but also because
4:52 am
there's content creators and i'm not even talking about the constant creators like myself who have already kind of excuse the charlie that is thin and expand it beyond a lot of creators not yours but it's really not the small kind of the some of the just starting creators the budding. creators you just you know the last couple months were getting out run way they had moments of growing their audience and then it's going to be shut down to be terrible but also they have lost to a company like microsoft or a tech company at least i think you'd see a receptive audience to talk to me would be probably thankful that microsoft stepped in took a look at the security concerns and then the apple live but the other concern in that bucket is and you merged it to management and tick tock innovating to to grow that success even beyond what it is today that would be the question that we're facing but at the end to your initial point on the 1st question there which is if they happen to adjust the algorithm in some capacity and then they push the bigger
4:53 am
tick tock stars over people who may not be known that can create a problem for people trying to break through in the industry and i want to talk about those people because like you said you diversified you have millions of followers across instagram you tube a tick tock and use not started but you were on vine when it was very popular but saw that kind of go away what or what do you kind of give it as far as help to other influencers who are just starting to build on tech that what would you tell them to do as this whole situation is happening. well i was talking to other people that i meet on the way on the same journey as i make sure you're diverse i'm your audience from the get go i'm very beginning i mean not right away but once you have a decent 10000 or 100000 people following you i met that community that really loves your stuff and find creative ways to get there you know contact and not because they're going to want to hear from you directly or there's a lot of services now that do text messaging but the goal is to have
4:54 am
a direct connection to a small portion of your audience which is the most dedicated and loyal portion anyway and that's you know how it's already a little too late to that now with a month left but that's something from the get go i think creators need to be thinking about how any platform you go on instagram facebook or you do you don't direct connection but years ago you know it was amazing reach and then when they put the paper on front of it you know now it was one percent of our audience must for the rest of the post so they had something you always had to think about in the space and now it's to graham is officially launching their tick-tock competitor in more than 50 countries they actually watch that when think looting the u.s. what do you make of this new platform and could this actually kill tick-tock while the app is in limbo as a lot of content creators might move to rails where they can actually make that that kind of impact of their. intersection of all this timing is fascinating to watch there's
4:55 am
a lot against tick tock and and with the timing of instagram reels coming out it could be i'm another moment like you saw a snatch of how instruments swooped in perfect time did their version of stories and it was very successful because everyone you know when you hear there's concerns of privacy i mean your your tendency to be going back to you you already know and where it's been in the past and if they have the same features like it would be an easy transition but in this case i think you're also trying to replicate a culture which you can't just do. one feature i think there's other things that she is doing in terms of course we need constant creators even starting their fund to help monetize young creators that huge something that instagram still really has yet to do and of were waiting for so i don't know if. the new real stitcher will just swoop in. that powerfully yet but time will tell really well it depends i think that day it's
4:56 am
a temper 15 or 20 of the band if it actually happens then i think you'll see a lot of momentum behind reels and i guess for our audience who maybe doesn't understand content creators slash influencers quickly can you tell us how this monta zation works and how you guys are able to make money i mean not on your level maybe but on some of the smaller levels there. yeah i mean it's a really simple game play model with with brand so on you see if you have example that rolls play the beginning of broadcaster middle and we'll get a piece of that 50 percent of the ad revenue for those ads but then the other stuff is going out for brands that you're passionate about you know for me for example i'm really passionate lego i love creating to anything that. it's imagine it and that's what i want to partner with so take me for example partner with a company like lego and what brand you look like. a creative 60 seconds that you in that case and that would be a piece of our monetization tick-tock of social media stars that can we hope to

city were joined in the city's peace part of the few surviving witnesses of the event they bought the blast for the minutes of starting. the united states in japan are forever linked by the tragedy here's what people in new york and hiroshima say about the events of 945. take a drastic measure it's here and kind of like the cia i feel like i haven't learned much about the stuff against the us from. japan as just. the consequence of war they brushed up on my home and i think their number was so long. was it a result or something like pearl harbor or maybe pearl harbor it had something to do with the us response to for a larger. yeah that's that's pretty much all i know about it.
5:13 am
we're. fixing our service of. it being justified i don't know i think it's tough to blame people for the mistakes of history and see why something like that catastrophic should go like how an apology were like but i'm pretty sure it's paid off for retribution but obviously to some solidarity something to recognize that loss of life in the same kind of reparations one way or another i'm looking for reparations i'm native american beef think i'm going to get any rest not going to happen it's not going to happen but it dip nice. but actually when my mother was 7 months pregnant with me the atomic bomb was dropped my cousin was also an atomic bomb survivor and died of leukemia after 75 years i'm still very sorry for those who died. and i know you're going i think the
5:14 am
use of the atomic bomb was unacceptable there was no reason to do it the military situation was utterly hopeless for japan perhaps it wouldn't have taken much longer for the water end and it would have been over without the bombings the war between japan and the us it's a shame the us hasn't apologized to japan for the bombings. it's very important to see it out loud to emphasize what the real purpose of the hiroshima bomb mean what if we keep silent the propaganda war when. japan has had a strong relationship with the us including with the trump of ministration over there have been a few stumbling blocks the latest coronavirus spike in okinawa where the us has military bases angered japanese officials have also been reports strong wanted to plan to pay more for hosting the troops u.s. steel tariffs and the white house's withdraw from the trans-pacific partnership well they haven't helped the situation research and asia specialist him bill says
5:15 am
the partnership is far from being an equal one. there are underlying problems trump obviously has exacerbated the relationship with japan i demanded more money for american troops forcing arms says japan of the sunni's united states for its remilitarization and so forth and it's locked in this alliance and it's very difficult for it to break out on the other hand there are good reasons for developing more autonomy and we will see that as years tarsus american target kline's in fact is a sort of a vassal alliance or it's not an alliance to to sort of equal independent states for the united states japan is a major sasol to be used against its enemies and its main enemy today certainly in east asia is china is he was out the united states japan would have no huge problems with china the alliance is still there and it's probably not going to
5:16 am
go away so it's frayed but still in place. in time a bomb didn't just change the political landscape but the copra want to tell it takes a look at how the deadly blast helped to form the popular culture we consume now on a day to day basis. there are moments in history. memories so powerful they have shaped our culture tragic but defining of the mushroom clouds billowing over the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki. for decades the us suppressed almost all footage it was only in the eighty's that color images sought by the u.s. military posture be released to this day the material has never been shown in its entirety.

norway's cruise shipping industry has been brought to a halt the minute outbreak of coronavirus cases among passengers on wednesday authorities ordered a cruise ship to dock in the town of bodo and all 200 passengers to quarantine this came just days after $44.00 people on board another ship had tested positive for the virus the cruise line which was one of the 1st to resume sailing in the country during the pandemic has apologized 1st off. we're very sorry for the situation that has occurred we're working intensively with the municipality and mission on fiction control thought our main priorities of course to take care of our crew members who are on board the ship and the guests who have been on board the ship my shoe. these are yet to determine the origin of the outbreak but fears of widespread infection have been heightened by the fact the cruise ship docked at several ports along norway's coast and allowed passengers that to disembark or ports have now been ordered to close to cruise ships for 2 weeks incident has divided opinion among
5:26 am
norwegians. i'm not worried about it there's just as much reason to be worried about norwegian tourists who've traveled to spain or other places in europe we had to come back to normality some point anyways so this is one step further down the road through this and i think it's alarming that they relaunch so quickly and they didn't follow the quarantine rules the employees on board but i'm not worried about infection spreading to. we spoke with norwegian law professor eric orissa who told us the risks posed by the virus something dangerously overlooked. danger all reading the virus within the ship in their estimate by many people and well they didn't take the necessary precautions. in the way the debate has been very much about whether the rules actually where followed but i believe that the rules are you know that for example that there is
5:27 am
no guarantee and for as you said. even the ship. that there is more supervision of cantina robin restrictions on crewmembers knox boarding in norway a precious thing with r.t. you are right up to date in half an hour's time i won't be here but there will be plenty of news stick around for that. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being
5:28 am
led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us and adapt. or remain in the shallows. as the us economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours 'd in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the winner of the reality of the we're not financially equality and the lack of affordable housing for a living minimum wage gave many people no choice. just been a problem with the city knows turn the temperature in cold to stay away almost.
5:29 am
half the food if there is no answer because the requires resource the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible cops. i'll be down this cold day i die and i hope not i hope i have to spend my days going to save dogs and you know you can't save more and then you ride by barnes and you look at the armor as a dog or. i. said it's only fair allowed to do this to these dogs. i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in
5:30 am
a cage outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the cold air the rain the snow the founder nothing they have no protection yet as soon as we take the dog it's just wants to. mean just you know wants the affection. to get you. know it's ok. mom and dad will probably live their entire lives on that facility in
5:31 am
a pin whether it's smaller or larger size but they're not themselves hence they are breeding stock they they typically don't come in the house and snuggle on the couch. they have no idea what life is is about because they spend 247 in a cage when you came into one of these puppy mills you would just see. e one on top of another in these little chicken wire crates. you know how cramped it is when you're when you're flying and i was thinking about and i thought it must be like that for the puppy mill dogs that are in these cages being able to get up and move around and i think that the 740 seven's comedy 400 people and i thought it's just like taking 400 golden traverse or labs or shepherds and putting them in a scene shrapnell them in and making them live there for 8 years you will typically smell the facility before you actually walk near the cages and as soon as you can
5:32 am
see the cages. i know it's going to be a bad situation when you have the above ground wire bottom change because that sort of tells us that the person is trying to be very efficient. this is a business people are not for profit for an initial outlay of a couple $100.00 for a few breeding pairs you can be selling puppies for a $1000.00 or more apiece if you breed every heat cycle which is not what you're supposed to do but which many millers do you could be making tens of thousands of dollars within a couple of years they were housed in chicken coops like one dog group of so there's probably more dogs in chicken coop snow days on the road trip. they make money on dogs being born. they rarely see of that.
5:33 am
that's are expensive and expensive and that would cut into their profits as far as selling the dogs. it's not good it's really not a good place for going to be. coming out wrong. ill is a night that i was on the internet in some out and they came over me and said i want a puppy so i googled puppies buying up these online. delivery person called me to set up a day in time what time the dog would be arriving and he said you know i would like cash upon arrival not a check and that was fine so he would 1st wanted me to meet him at a rest stop off the new jersey turnpike. i just cut him off right there like that
5:34 am
was not i'm not end up on the island is not happening. i know i know something's are right and that was one of them. i'm not a nervous person i'm not scared of many things but i was nervous because my children were inside and this guy was delivering a puppy 11 o'clock at night in a van that reeked of cigarette smoke i said this is a street my house and i want to have a real address so he said that's fine i'll call you on the street mr i run it o'clock east call and said he was running late and he showed up at 11 so it was very fast he called he was out front i ran outside on the street and he got opened his it was a van he opened his van and there is all crates of dogs puppies in the back and he picked out rufus and he said here's your dog. 2 pieces of paper came with the dog that they looked like i could have printed off the computer but that's i didn't know any better so i just assumed it was fine. i
5:35 am
brought the dog in and it was late so i just put him play with him for a little bit but he was super tired and he just looked like he wanted to go to sleep so put his bed in his crate and cry was weird because when i had puppies before they cried in a crate the 1st time he didn't make a sound that was like the best dog every doesn't make noises perfect baby and i look up to a dog that was basically having seizures going to the bathroom and throwing up either is going. in it that i you know is it's only 24 hours but you bond as a person you just feel super bad for it's a baby in you just want to help it. he starts making this horrific sound like he's yelping in pain out of nowhere like just laying down just making this terrible sound off and on and he said this isn't normal and then he threw up and had diarrhea and i said i'm going to take him to our family that i'm thinking that i can't believe that somebody was and this dog here that sec and this is all the money that we're going to spend and this is crazy because i had no idea what to
5:36 am
expect as they said they could stay there for days to get better and i was just i was worried about the money i was worried about the dog of same time after spending 2 days at north star being treated for hypoglycemia rufus was able to return home at the initial examination the veterinarian the care for rufus certified he was unfit for purchase rufus's cross-country journey began in miller's burg ohio on a farm owned by most troyer this is how i am after i buy the dog after he is delivered then i start googling most rare then is when i start and then i was like what is wrong with you why wouldn't i really that's how naïve i was i thought it was going to be perfect and then then i start googling and i hindsight was like i need to find out where these parents are like i was disgusted less than 2 weeks before nicole purchase rufus online tours u.s.d.a. license was cancelled currently no u.s.d.a.
5:37 am
or state commercial license is issued for this address i've got like giving up a couple times a day said no one's call me back this is so frustrating but then i kept thinking it wasn't about the money it was the fact that this was a life that no one cared about. they are just like oh take the puppy that was 6 weeks old 5 weeks old away from its mom and to shove it in a van with creeps her and then called a day like no one cared. of state highway $53.00 in the middle of ohio this is a puppy mill not unlike the one that rufus was likely born and it's where his parents will remain until they're unable to produce the puppies in profits expected by the owner there's no natural light no human contact except for the red pickup that stops by want today to scatter food and fill water bowls unregulated and under the radar.
5:38 am
and often we find that on the east coast many of the puppies are coming from what we call ground 0 for large scale volume bring puppy mill bring and that's holmes county and it is really the heartbeat of where a lot of the puppy mills and a lot of the issues have started in the state of ohio when you consider that they have 43000 population and you have over 500 canales that's a lot of camels for the number of people in that general area. and holmes county alone in 200720088 was a $9000000.00 business. now when you consider that the average family income for a family of 4 is probably less than $30000.00 in holmes county that's a considerable amount of duction that is coming out of that particular area in
5:39 am
amish country. rufus's journey to new jersey is similar to the one thousands of puppies travel from holmes county ohio in the years since rufus arrived at nicole's. the driver has made multiple journeys to the east coast delivering puppies sold on the internet from puppy mills throughout holmes county. there's times were we here where the puppy was actually transported by someone just like john public and they load him into a vehicle and so when the puppies arrive it's not unusual to have a vehicle full of puppies and some of those puppies are very sick and some won't make the trip whatsoever they assumed ban puppy mills places they always meant like the mall the puppy store in the mall or the puppy store the inside of st i just never thought that it was like on the internet i really thought when i bought rufus that he was in pennsylvania running through a field happy night and think it was
5:40 am
a puppy mill dog at all. pennsylvania farmers began breeding dogs probably about 30 or so years ago there were actually breeders in missouri who came up to pennsylvania specifically because of its large amish and mennonite farming communities here we had one of the worst states for puppy mills i we were called the puppy mill capital of the east and that was primarily because pennsylvania's number one industry is agriculture. and the mennonites are more likely to view these animals as cash crops as agricultural products we've heard that over and over again and i believe that to be true. not all amish families or not all minimally families breed dogs but the large majority the overwhelming majority of the people that we deal with the breeders are from illinois it was something that farm families could do between
5:41 am
when you harvest in the fall and when you plant the spring. as commercial kennels cropped up across pennsylvania in the late 1960 s. the welfare of the dogs trapped in puppy mills was not viewed as a priority of the pennsylvania department of agriculture inspections were few and far between the regulations were ill defined and the program was clearly underfunded so the regulators were completely tied by the laws and just the the van ness of all of them so what we really needed was in forcible measurable standards you would see inspection reports time and time again where a warden is a morning operator to do something. and this didn't go on for like one or 2 inspections in a year's time you're talking about years and years of warnings for many of the same
5:42 am
offenses there was so much opposition from within the industry itself that the regulations were just going nowhere. and it became very apparent that we had to do a legislative fix. solution where every summer we look at solutions all the problems a car on every other month of the year now today recovering to globalization the dollar is a. china. process which is game speed but what has set in motion really on december 11th 22001 when china became member of the world trade organization time that attorney chris fenton author of beating the dragon. a more robust morals would be one in which we do business as usual but guess what.
5:43 am
we prepared for carbines. a lot cheaper reduced mobility you know the jury is a lot cheaper than having. how can you explain. i've been to 82 countries i didn't 12 but i came here and on those 3 days i just filled with hope. and he kept. saying show. i made my decision to come here because i felt i knew i could build a new life soon at the. companies and. decided that this money is no good to be free. my one dream is that all my children 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
5:44 am
about it. and i know that i should. throughout the years efforts to improve the lives of dogs in pennsylvania puppy mills would ultimately die in the legislature at the hands of powerful lawmakers it was not until a simple billboard was put up in lancaster county that the general public began to learn of the problem our 1st billboard we made it look like a postcard and we had a family in our car and they were all waving across the top and yellow script just like a postcard and said welcome to scenic lancaster county home to hundreds of puppy mills and we received over 3000 phone calls and e-mails in 2 days and the majority of those phone calls came from people who lived in lancaster county who were thanked us for finally doing something about what their neighbors were doing i think the issue gained
5:45 am
a lot of traction through the media you know more reporting on the issue it became sort of something that was that was out front it was no longer confined to you know what happened behind the party doors after witnessing the overwhelming response to their billboards in pennsylvania mainline animal rescue placed a new billboard this time oprah winfrey studio in chicago when we were on oprah and the aftermath we watched up here in the kennel i realized that it really didn't matter what the legislators wanted or what they didn't want because people started contacting us and people were horrified horrified by what was happening in lancaster county or was happening in pennsylvania what was happening in missouri and oklahoma nebraska and they couldn't believe that animals were being treated this way and they wanted to do something about it. this was 100 percent public effort it was really because people were hearing about the plight of puppy mills on the news on oprah reading about it in their newspapers going home and looking in
5:46 am
the faces of these little pooches that are sharing their you know tables and beds for most of us and saying oh. oh my gosh what if that had been my dog and it became very very personal to a huge number of people who started picking up the phones and calling their legislators through this whole struggle and it was a struggle and it was hard it was very very difficult i never lost sight of the fact that the people have the power to change things and when the legislature realized that they did not want to go home in an election cycle and face a constituency wondering why didn't you do something about this the bill got legs and this was a 2 year long is like 2 to 3 year long legislative battle in pennsylvania many of the dogs that the law was was pushed through many of the law the dogs that we wanted to protect are now that so i'm hoping that it's the dogs the future dogs the dogs that are in these places in the future are helped by what we've done but most of the dogs the majority of the dogs that we wanted to help are gone now and they
5:47 am
never got the relief that they deserved or that the law afforded. only union boilermaker out of pittsburgh. despite every free town life i have is basically in their own work and and i work in a 10 hour shift i'm working on saving dogs. everybody has their own little parts and i think that was that was my call and you know go into the mills and that's what i want to get to dogs so i know their laws are covered in your and they're covering and they've got at least what i'd like to do is take them and hold them and pad on to say they're a bit touched a they ok so me i don't mind they got no room because i want to separate it were different you know you're leaving that life and i want their you know the rehab to start as soon as we take the dogs. and it's sad because you can't save all
5:48 am
said it hurts i mean there's plenty of nights you stay up at night and you can sleep with a lot of rescues or you know deal with the puppy mill dogs now that i mean loosely you know it's costly running through your mind about the dog you left behind i don't know i went to the guys bringing the dogs out in there so many dogs inside the puppy mill that when the dog started barking when he went in to get the dogs the side of the barn was actually shaken. there's no force was good they suppose he this year and last year in kind of both pennsylvania and ohio made the laws better but they are they they passed the laws but no one's in force and. a lot of people think when you say rescue dogs from puppy mills i think we went in took the born down take the dogs but that's that's all we did because the because mills are legal now i think a lot of people don't understand that you know these puppy mills are legal they're allowed to explain to him how you know we wait for the amish to contact you know
5:49 am
then we set up a day when we can go get the dogs and then we know will load up the. cars you know then will drive you know they don't go get her property get the dogs. i mean that. i am. i don't i'm not around. he said all the gold at all they want is love it's good to get away. with you you're the one i mean.
5:50 am
in my name is eugene deep ask well you know i'm the pennsylvania auditor general. we make sure all money is spent legally and effectively but we also audit state programs so it's not just a question whether the financial side of it is the you know the the account ledgers are matching up but also what is the effectiveness of the program so we get to go in and say ok the money might have been spent illegally but was it spent effectively it was a program run effectively while inspections and prosecutions dramatically increased after the pennsylvania dog law came into force within a few years noticeable concerns began to emerge i started to receive reports confidentially from within department reaching out to me dog wardens administrators
5:51 am
people who had worked for the department and had left veterinarians who were concerned that the new head of the office of dogs had no idea what she was doing so reviewing inspection reports in in 2011. indicates that there were virtually no citations issued just like any other law it's only as good as the enforcement of it and early on in the law there were some concerns that it wasn't being enforced properly so and the audit of the dog or program began. in a scathing report auditor general di pascali found the dog law program from its introduction in 2008 through 2012 showed an intentional lack of enforcement of the state's dog law and the commercial kennel canine health regulations. enforcing the law in the can mean the partner agriculture said this during the audit that
5:52 am
they weren't enforcing it because they knew the kennels weren't complying is say that again they were enforcing it because they knew the kennels weren't complying but the goal of the law is to get people not to do it the goal of the dog was not to find camps it was to get kennels do improve the conditions in their facilities. for the animals that's the goal of the program. we were getting the troops ready to really make a huge deal out of the lack of enforcement of this berry popular law and all of a sudden there was a one in 80 of the department and they hired a director of enforcement who was one of the best dog wardens that we've ever seen but here is the big big issue and it's not just this it's anything we do the people matter who are running the programs and right now i think the administration made significant strides into who is running the program but the people that are actually running the program sometimes you know the their faces bureaucrats to the general public and i understand that but the actual individual who's in charge
5:53 am
matters and it's important governors whether they be democratic or republican they not just put people in because of political considerations but also the qualifications of the individual but i do think that that is the case now that you know top notch professional there and that i think is a big reason why you're starting to see a turnaround in the world. while progress has been made the challenges of regulating and inspecting license to marshal breeders and finding unlicensed breeders in pennsylvania continues in the heart of lancaster county millwood kennel a millwood puppies provides a prime example of the bureaucratic shell game played by some large scale breeders . david and i only stalls foods have been breeding dogs on their property in lancaster county since the early 1990 s. having obtained both the pennsylvania license and the u.s.d.a.
5:54 am
commercial breeders license from 2003 onward pennsylvania inspection reports clearly indicate dogs were suffering in a facility that was not meeting even minimal welfare standards after a further string of her around us inspection reports in 2008 david stills foosball and tara lee relinquished both his pennsylvania and u.s.d.a. license but the dogs remained at. same puppy mill though the name was changed to millwood puppies and ownership passed to david's son matthew stills foose matthew quickly obtained a u.s.d.a. commercial breeders license at the same address. immediately the violations continued under the new license when millwood puppies was inspected in october 2009 the violations were so severe that the commonwealth of pennsylvania brought multiple charges against matthew for violations under the dog law. before a pennsylvania district judge isaac stalls foose all charges against matthew were
5:55 am
summarily withdrawn and all cases closed in 2010 at no time with the dogs removed from the facility by either state or federal authorities. around this time matthew found a new very lucrative avenue to sell his puppies the internet since 2010 it's estimated that matthew has sold over $3000.00 puppies online ranging from 302-2800 dollars each in 2013 alone millwood puppy sold 472 dogs more than a dog a day during this period matthew maintained a pennsylvania kennel license but in january 2014 he applied for a new u.s.d.a. commercial breeders license for millwood puppies l l c this was the 3rd u.s.d.a. commercial breeders license and the 2nd pennsylvania license issued for this one address in the past 8 years i think one of the most remarkable things that we
5:56 am
actually were able to illustrate on the oprah show that one of the dogs that we picked up know what chemicals. it was i didn't know what kind of timer millward poppy's was a yellow out a male you know a lab and i'll never forget he's a really beautiful dog but he had never been off water for a beautiful beautiful young well the amish breeder if you stop astride the dog we pick the dog up and put it on. we put the dog down on the floor in. the lobby he started to walk a kid never been here ever going to and he started walking up the wall he tried to walk up the wall. because he had never been. and it's just amazing to me that they would expect an animal to live in his or her entire life. and they wouldn't do it themselves. matthew's large scale puppy breeding business was not his only interaction with the u.s.d.a. during the same time period he was receiving farm subsidies from the u.s.d.a.

6:09 am
situation but say they were just performing their duties the parents are suing the police for wrongful arrest and say they may also seek legal action against the n.h.s. . utterly utterly you know disgusting we were discussed in our meeting initially i went into into shock i didn't know what was happening and i thought it was a baby dream and if when i began it will all be over and i will be just hugging and kissing your. daughter but sadly it was not too happy i ended up having a heart attack it's a terrible situation which is really. not easy for us to be writing things out a piece of paper any do really well and then emotions get better of course. i knew you could well i'm disturbed journalist that remains untouched yet here you are. as a journalistic arch enemy n.h.s. and it shouldn't only long ago you know parents. that you know the ultimate.
6:10 am
you know that they have the ultimate welfare of a child at heart nobody wants a chance to really clean all the dust with their child. it's been 75 years since the u.s. dropped an atomic bomb on japan city of hiroshima 3 days later on the 9th of august the bombing of nagasaki followed the attacks like the thousands of civilian deaths was scores of people continue to die years after the tragedy to disappear burns radiation sickness and other injuries.
6:11 am
mock local you know it just. kind of war now is out there much the words in its assume must the more bullets hook up or need to guy night the more i get the meat on this and the more. you must be. jerks i have factions gaskell haven't you cares you kind of want to tear down. every matter. how does your about particular. dangerous matter. going to. cut down at my desk when i get to. where i knew it had to. get and she know to have a candidate for dinner and have commissioned.
6:12 am
well more oil events have been scaled back this year due to the pandemic but a small ceremony still took place and hiroshima japan's prime minister and the mayor of the city were joined in the city's peace park by the few surviving witnesses of the horrific event in march the blast with a minute of silence. the u.s. and japan are forever linked by the tragedy here's what people in new york and her us must say about the a bounce of 1945. take a drastic measure here anything like to say i feel like i haven't learned much about the south or i just see the u.s. . chief and just. the consequence of the war they
6:13 am
brushed up on. me and i say as their number so long. was it a result or something like pearl harbor maybe pearl harbor had something to do with the u.s. response to coral arbor. yeah that's that's pretty much all i know a valid it. we're. fixing our terms of. it being justified i don't know i think it's tough to blame people for the mistakes of history and see why something like that catastrophic should go like not an apology were like but the ratio payoffs are retribution but obviously to some solidarity something to recognize that loss of life and indeed reparations one way or another i'm look for reparations i'm native american beef think i'm going to get any there's not going to happen it's not going
6:14 am
to happen for the japanese. but that's true when my mother was 7 months pregnant with me the atomic bomb was dropped my cousin was also an atomic bomb survivor and died of leukemia after 75 years i'm still very sorry for those who died. when i think the use of the atomic bomb was unacceptable there was no reason to do it the military situation was utterly hopeless for japan perhaps it wouldn't have taken much longer for the water end and it would have been over without the bombings the war between japan and the us it's a shame the us hasn't apologized to japan for the bombings. it's very important to see it out loud to emphasize what the real purpose of the hiroshima bombing was if we keep silent the propaganda war when. japan has had a strong relationship with the us 'd including with the trumpet administration although there have been a few stumbling blocks the latest coronavirus spike in okinawa where the u.s.
6:15 am
has not heard bases has angered a japanese officials have also been reports that trump wanted to plan to pay more for hosting the troops u.s. steel tariffs and the white house's withdrawal from the transpacific partnership haven't helped the situation either researcher an asia specialist him bill says the partnership is far from equal. there are underlying problems trump obviously has exacerbated the relationship with japan i demanded more money for american troops forcing arms says japan on the sunni's united states for its remilitarization and so forth and it's locked in this alliance and it's very difficult for it to to break out on the other hand there are good reasons for developing more autonomy and we will see that as years tarsus american target kline's in fact is a sort of a vassal alliance or it's not a lie is to to sort of equal independent states for the united states japan is
6:16 am
a major hassle to be used against its enemies and its main enemy today certainly in east asia is china is he was out the united states japan would have no huge problems with china the alliance is still there and it's probably not going to go away so it's trade but still in place it didn't just change the political landscape but the cultural one as well artist architecture takes a look at how the deadly blasts helped form the popular culture we can fill on a day to day basis. there are moments in history as a memory so powerful they have shaped our culture tragic but defining of the mushroom clouds billowing over the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki.
6:17 am
for decades the us suppressed almost all footage it was only in the 1980s that color images sought by the us military posture be released to this day the material has never been shown in its entirety. but out of the unimaginable suffering roy who's a new pop culture in america the devastating release of radioactive particles change the country's take on comic books and superheroes spite of the fantastic fool the incredible hulk all derived from exposure to radiation. we've never seen anything even close to your level of exposure you survive an event
6:18 am
like we see here and we smell better than ever sealed regional scenery. like. in the us atomic power was mostly about heroism and influence but japan how different take associations were instead made with destruction and mutation take up a new killer mutant rampaging through the streets of tokyo the city chaos a kind of crisis powerless before us. but i. as relations between countries change so to to the movies to follow in 10 kong. at pick battle between the japanese and us pop culture icons atop mount fuji is defeated tell. it around 10000000 what to watch that film in japan and it remains the most watched in the cuts in the series to date but turned out japan had
6:19 am
a knack for shaping our childhoods from a hello kitty in a room and they were as much hits a broad as. i couldn't get enough of them it didn't matter if i could see the wires and the seams in the costumes and the least moving when the words didn't it was so fanciful and imaginative it was japan was at the forefront pop culture and technology from the nintendo game console to the last possible cassette by sony it's mania the kids of america saying this is great we've got to have one for boys in this country between the ages of $8.15 not having an intent is like not having a baseball bat to pan continues to successfully export its pop culture like minder and animate some say that creates a sort of outlet for math is from the anxiety that paid trick that's why events back in 1905 but teenagers in the us who consumed the property and colorful

morals would be one in which we do business. but guess what. we prepared whole called guns. a lot cheaper reduced mobility you know the jury is a lot cheaper than having. a comeback the man in charge of russia's anti-doping agency could face dismissal on wednesday the supervisory board not recommended that the country's a limp and paralympic committees consider sacking director general here again just as after an audit of us thought it revealed a number of significant financial wrongdoings artist and hawkins has the story. for
6:22 am
now you regardless retains his position as risotto chief his term officially expires in 2021 but he's an approach carious position yesterday's decision by the supervisory board to vote for his dismissal is essentially a massive vote of no confidence it will now be down to the russian olympic and paralympic committees to decide his fate now this scandal stretches back to spring when allegations of nefarious activity by goddess and virus saddam emerged they were taken up by the russian input committee which ordered an audit of now that investigation uncovered some serious allegations corruption misappropriation of funds and conflicts of interest some of the key questions raised by that order while millions of rubles tens of thousands of dollars were spent on taxi fares on english lessons for you to go on as himself as well as trips to strasbourg cyprus and other places apparently for work one of the most serious allegations of course
6:23 am
why that order was that you regard as personally profited to the tune of around $1500000.00 from conflicts of interest which the order to said they found no justification or explanation for the fact that there are some of the provided individual services worth about 57000000 ruble since 201853 main ruble since he sounds 19 might potentially indicate crowd behavior we do not think that the internal monitoring applied by usada can provide the proper level stuff economic security well you're gonna center and has dismissed these allegations as a vendetta against himself as a concerted campaign against the russian anti-doping agency he said he and his colleagues have provided ample evidence and explanations that absolve them of any sort of guilt on a ferry of activity one point is even publicly stated that he has no intention of taking his own life should anything happen to him indicating that he fears for his
6:24 am
own safety and he said. no idea why the supervisory board had to come to this decision it's not clear to me on what grounds it's being recommended that i be fired or resigned as strongly denies the conclusions of the audit if the russian olympic and paralympic committee has decided to fire me it will change our relations and aggravate the situation in russian sport now this scandal of course has serious implications not just for mr garner spot for risotto for wideout russian sport he became head of risotto back in 2017 inheriting a very complex situation amidst the russian doping scandal allegations you managed to briefly get to risotto reinstated by international sporting or thirty's before it was subsequently banned. that it was noncompliance with waters investigations subsequently russian sports teams were also banned from participating in international tournament for a number of years a decision they're appealing with the court of arbitration for sport should you

regardless be dismissed which water has already expressed concerns about this will further raise tensions between russian sporting bodies and international sport of wealth or reducing the chances that a compromise can be reached that russia will stand shards of competing further international events in the near future. norway's crew shipping industry has been brought to a halt amid an outbreak of corona virus cases among passengers on wednesday authorities ordered a cruise ship to dock in the town about 0 and all $200.00 passengers to quarantine it comes just days after $44.00 people aboard another ship tested positive for the virus the cruise line which was one of the 1st to resume sailing in the country during the pandemic has apologized. first off i'm sitting we're very sorry for the situation that has occurred we're working intensively with the municipality and national infection control authorities our main priorities of course so take care of our crew members who are on board the ship and the guests who have been on board
6:26 am
the ship. authorities are yet to determine the origin of the outbreak but fears of widespread infection have been heightened by the fact that the cruise ship docked at several ports along norway's coast along passengers to disembark all ports have now been ordered to close to cruise ships for 2 weeks the incident has divided opinion among norwegians. i. am not worried about it is just as much reason to be worried about norwegian tourists who travel to spain or other places in europe we had to come back to normality some point anyways so this is one step down the road. i think it's alarming that they really don't say quickly and they didn't follow the quarantine rules the employees on board but i'm not worried about the infection spreading to. we spoke with norwegian law professor eric rosé who told us the risks posed by the virus are being dangerously overlooked . danger all over reading the wires
6:27 am
within the ship there estimate by many people and well they didn't take the necessary precautions. in the way the debate has been they much about whether the rules actually where follow but i believe that the rules are you know that for example that there is no guarantee and for as you say. leaving the ship and that there is more supervision of the canteen or of the restrictions on crew member snarks boarding in norway. that's all for this hour news wise but if you're looking for more head on over tar website r.t. dot com for countless articles and interviews thanks for telling us.

why the demick no certainly no blood is just blocking too much of a tease. as a mark. of the sexy. beast see. your. commentary crisis with this until. we can do better we should. everyone is contributing each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created with the response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together.

6:30 am
i am max keiser this kaiser report summer so loose ends where every summer we look at solutions of all the problems they cover on every other month of the year now so they are recovering to globalization the valorization the china for kitchen 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 that attorney chris fenton author of beating the dragon the stacey chris fenton welcome to the kaiser report summer solutions you know we wanted to talk to you because this obviously this process that is now being called the china for cation is in full swing so to set this up in way you might be able to talk about and add to this
6:31 am
conversation is you know you were basically an informal diplomat you were working you were traveling to china you were working in bringing the united states you know especially the entertainment industry and sports industry to china and vice versa so you were a bull on that relationship where did that turn you're no longer a bull on that situation you're more of a hawk why well 1st of all thanks for having me back it's always an honor you know the show and just to address that when joe beats you know mention that max just may 1st things 1st let's call china a developed country at this point and have them follow those rules around the nation rules that would be a very easy fix to a lot of things that we need to address. if we're looking at a step approach that's a great 1st step how did i change my outlook on i'm sure i'm you know last summer i was on the show we were pre-code it obviously. you know my my. yes obviously
6:32 am
started around october of last year when i got back from the last congressional delegation trip and i co-hosted with 3 house members when daryl morey sent out that tweet in support of the hong kong protesters it was an interesting moments for me because i saw that becoming a very big issue for the n.b.a. in china and of course me as as you mentioned being a role in regards to a commercial and cultural exchange between the 2 countries i thought oh my god that's going to hurt the n.b.a. in china and that's a big deal and oh my gosh that's the thing that we should prioritize i know what i didn't realize was that it was going to wake up the united states of america and all people including myself to the fact that we have been pandering to the c.c.p. way way too much in this after of pushing the mission of rampant globalism and then
6:33 am
since that moment i've really been studying and in fact they implemented quite a bit of it into the book in regards to how has this affected the health of america overall global health aso but the health of americans and it's so obvious to me now looking back that this mission of rampant globalism open up china for our products and services at any cost because that's in the past welfare of the united states citizens turned out not to be so good so over time since that tweet we've seen the han com situation go into a place where i don't think any of us imagined a year ago it was going to go which was hey you got 27 years left on this agreement that we made with the brits but you know what who cares let's just take it over now to things like the covert response
6:34 am
a lot of the rhetoric between the 2 countries the issues. between the n.b.a. and various other situations the houston consulate situation which now has been retaliated against in china with the change you consulate for the u.s. it's on mask into a situation where i'm way more hawkish against china than i've ever been and i'm still trying to formulate exactly how to process this all as are many people in this country and our leaders the way you state the case they're pretty have a lot of detail what's curious to me a. relationship between the u.s. and china has always been described as symbiotic we have sent them our jobs and they sent us back these cheap goods and that's the quid pro quo and that's been the story and so suddenly. when coven heads
6:35 am
exposes that america has no ability even to manufacture mass that all that manufacturing capabilities in china well that's that's been the deal now for you know a sense they got into the w t l that was the deal like. if i were china i have a look about america and saying what up bro i mean that was the deal why you complaining now you know so why are we complaining now pressed and by the way the deal goes back even farther than just the deadbeats you know do you know i mean you can argue with 979 it really started and then it got steam probably around 1090 or so why it's a big deal is because we've actually been and i hate using this word we've been woke to the problem and unfortunately sometimes you gotta get it now head really hard to know that somebody on the other side of that this is not your friend and that's a big issue and now we have the supply chain issues that kobe brought up in the
6:36 am
fact way frankly and you guys talk about it all the. time of the show i mean 95 percent of this country has been left behind in this system that we have right now we have lost a lot of middle class jobs we have lost a lot of money fracturing base and all in a lot of that has to do with how we treated china over the past 30 years so we have a very entanglement and we need to untangle and decouple fully in a lot of ways yet i also argue and i've had some op eds about this recently and real clear politics in the federalist etc there are non decoupling situations that are america 1st and some of those i'm still hardly making a hard argument for of course back in 1999 we had robert like hisor who is donald trump's 2nd at the trade representative and he was very vocal and the new york times and everything lambasted all of the leaders of america saying they don't
6:37 am
know what they're getting into by shipping are that all of our jobs are going to be shipped to china he was right biden was also wrong back in 2000 when he was confronted in congress by a progressive senator who said that the rise of china would result in the loss of all u.s. manufacturing jobs and biden said he did not view a collapse of the american manufacturing economy if china a nation with the impact on the world economy about the size of the netherlands had suddenly become a major competitor the u.s. so he was wrong as well bill barr just in the past few weeks he said that he accused china of an economic blitzkrieg and aggressive orchestrating the whole of government indeed whole of society campaign to seize the commanding heights of the global economy and to surpass the united states as the world's preeminent superpower so my question to you is to me it sounds like a sore loser and that this was just the thinks that it is trap that many including as i said robert like hisor ross perot of course they all warned of this at the
6:38 am
time when we were planning on. basically elevating china to the w t o because before that they were on the most favored nation status in every single year we had to read knew that in the congress and it became very political so in order to overcome that we pushed them into the w.c. out so is this just that they said it the strap was a sudden habitable and what do you think of what bill barr the attorney general of the united states said. well i i try to be nonpartisan in this issue because it takes red and blue to get together in a dress this challenge that china owes us against the nation but i'm going to 100 percent agree with what are said the other day in the tactics of trumping ministration and our light hisor navarro have used in order to achieve dress the situation i think probably could use fine tuning and i don't have the answers exactly on how do you doubt but i think there is across this there that hopefully as a nation we figure out but the fact that they have alarmed us all to what this problem
6:39 am
is is the best thing that has happened for this country now in regards to biden and a lot of the people that were very pro what we were doing over the past 30 years i have to admit i 100 percent was too i'm 100 percent complicit quite frankly in being a part of why our hollywood exchange with china has been commandeered by their local film industry so that they're making best in class type of productions that are now catering come completely to their audience and shutting out hollywood movies in regards to market share there and that's just one small microcosm but i was guilty of helping them learn our process understand the value of ip develop ip and a script you know you know lysine their artists so that they could get caught up to speed and what we're doing in hollywood and helping them get involved with
6:40 am
hollywood i feel terrible about it in a lot of ways and i feel very strong about this mission that we have to address to china as a nation there are ways to do it that will benefit america both in the short term and long term but it's going to be very disruptive and it's going to be something that we all have to agree on together yeah you know. for years they have been saying that they relationship with. china in america hairs americans have been willing to take lower wages but in exchange for cheaper goods and that the quality of their life has been according to many americans improving because the cost of a widescreen t.v. has gotten dirt cheap the cost of textiles dirt cheap i mean this is this is a bargain america may i mean the book is great you're great thanks for being on this show but i'm not buying this argument that suddenly you know we got a wake up to the fact that china is a predatory here because the u.s. the predatory in the u.s.
6:41 am
economy that that are pretty big on their own citizens vs heavy the banks and everything else that goes out of finance they do that with china too so why why why don't we go after our leaders in washington they say been a predator thing present predations on america for 30 or 40 years that's the problem with china just want to compete why are we saying ok we're the cup competitor those want to compete so what what about washington press. well i look you're 100 percent right and as much as i'm not partisan this issue i see really i would speak in and i've been on his show a bunch of times and each believes in the 4th journey which he thought should have happened in 2008 which is that reset that the financial crisis should have have had happened where you talked about the financial as a share of essentially the global economy and and how i guess you should say leaders have to take you now as a main directive you know and just in simple sort of examples the fact that
6:42 am
we allow chinese companies access to our capital markets while still be holding to the state secret laws because they're part of these s.o.b.'s so they don't have to apply county practices that we apply to our own companies is reached if you're right so i do think we're seen whether it's because of grandstanding or real. action agendas whatever it is to me it doesn't matter the country is woke to it the right side of the aisle in particular wants to do something about it or is a least causing enough of why i'm still getting more action impacted into it but it's going to take time and yes i agree i mean i can give you one example i house member i sat down with in a very red state said you guys need to deal with china in a way that starts addressing some of the problems for my middle class constituents
6:43 am
but he's like i cannot say that publicly because those very constituents love going to wal-mart and buying very cheap products and that goes right into what you were same or a restaurant and author of feeding the dragon oh wow what a timely book we're going to talk more with chris right after this break don't go away. the more robust war over would be one in which we move business as usual but guess what. we prepared for card on. our own time as a lot cheaper to reduce mobility you know the jura it's a lot cheaper than having. a short time ago an american air play ground pool run by hiroshima.
6:44 am
standing up cleanly only in some point up to go. to clear the col until you know that 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 mrs 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 and there was american poor planning in october at $945.00 and had chosen 20 targets and russia.
6:45 am
welcome back to the report imax hazar this of course is our summer solutions and we're talking today with chris fenton he's the author of feeding the dragon everyone's read this book in washington and hollywood in new york it's really a timely book and it's all about what's happening really could describe it as a new cold war between china and america that escalated quickly gus i'm so old i remember when 2 countries are trying to walk through it all kinds of trade agreements phase 12 and 3 it was all going to be jolly good you know chris i look at a company like apple computer and i'm wondering you know. that's worth $1.00 trillion or so it's in hell than everyone's pension account everyone's made hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars with this company it's the biggest company in the world and it's all based on chinese slave labor we've known that for a decade into decades they put up nets outside the factories because kids jump out
6:46 am
the trying to kill themselves we've know we've known this this is not a shock right so if this is going to break up and it's a cold war and these 2 countries are going to go head to head apple's not going to be the same company that they're going to have a massive downgrade and that's a chilean dollars that wealth going to evaporate pretty quickly chris are we ready to do that well it's funny i i i wrote in an op ed for the federalist while a couple months ago about how we need to stop using the stock market index or it's in regards to the overall economic health of the country and the reason i wrote that op ed is eco's i feel like we've done a lot of orchy in regards to what we want to do to express the china challenge but we haven't done a i.e.d. and the reason why we haven't done a real swartz is because every time we do the stock markets go into a freefall i remember in back when. i was in hong kong in late august there was
6:47 am
a tweet that donald trump put out about how he was ordering all american companies to remove their operations in china the markets dropped i think 800 or 900 points of mediately just prior to the close that day and then over the weekend the result of this crazy sort of information spreading around whether it meant it or not he was over in spain at that time expander and then alternately we backtracked in all the stock markets we covered and actually then some because it sounded like we were going to move into a more dovish 6 you a china i my argument is we have to get into sort of a warm were time mentality when we got pulled into world war 2 the markets really were disrupted they went down no one paid attention to the markets we paid attention to how we were going to address the enemies out there how we were in address the national security interests of the country and the welfare of our
6:48 am
citizens and as we started to address those and as we started to win small victories and markets did start to come back and by the end of the war obviously the markets floor back my point is it's like if we try to address china by really implementing things that we need to do we need to do it across all industries across all companies and we need to address shareholder and investor interests too because they are the pressure points for all the sea suites of all these companies and all these industries if we have real rules of engagement that prioritize american health in american national security yes markets are going to get deeply impacted i mean just moving supply chains back over here the ones that are strictly for national security interest forget apple stuff for t. shirts from nike bringing back pharmaceuticals that's going to cause a nature disruption with pharmacy good sukkot companies share prices but we have to
6:49 am
be ready you it's. rest said destruction and be ok with it because the victories are not going to be marked by stock market prices they're going to be marked by it to reset or on behalf of the american oh well let's talk about a war because of course in america we're seeing opioid overdoses and suicides that are mount to a vietnam every year of vietnam war every year last year we had $71000.00 opioid overdoses the year before it was 68000. u.s. mortality rates are going up the life expectancy is going down for those american men primarily who used to have jobs at these factories so you know this really set in motion in 1080 is when china got most favored nation status with the united states it was under reagan and that social contract that we've had you know post world war 2 up until that moment was you know the american worker at the american
6:50 am
middle class the american dream it was all about that not capital and then since 1988 it's been all about capital and and part of the primacy of capital has been destroying the rights of workers and laborers and the right to dignity and in a meaningful job in a life so like how do we rewrite that social contract how do we because that's going to have to happen that that conversation has to happen between capital and workers for these jobs to be brought back here. yeah 100 percent does and one of the issues that i have is when. the titians grandstand say hey look bron james you need to take a stand for the high income protesters or disney you need to take a stand for the hong kong protesters yeah quite frankly they do they mean is if they do it they lose all their business in china and then it's own whack a mole situation look ron gets replaced by the next basketball player that can take his spots and his indorsements disney loses their spot loses their theme park and
6:51 am
universal comes in and takes over so unless we do it industry wide company wide since citizen wide and say this is what will tolerate is let's face it there are things will tolerate censoring our content when it goes into that country and inside their borders we will tolerate i'm ok with that why because middle east countries do that japan does that korea does that that's something that we seem to be ok with but telling us how to censor our speech and our content outside of their borders that is on it that is not tolerable and we need to change that but we can only do it all or industries and all are companies have the same rules for the road and yes it's going to disrupt markets it's going to disrupt their earnings it's going to disrupt revenues but when we come out the back side of it will be much healthier and one more point is we need to figure it out as a country here 1st what are our rules of engagement and then we need to lead our
6:52 am
western allies down that same path because i don't want to see disney replaced by telling munchen in germany or by studio canal in france or by bollywood we need to approach this together so it's not a whack a mole on a global basis yeah right coronated response share you know big problem saying today that america has a really bad a what i mean by that is after 911 they bombed iraq. now during this crisis with china the d.n.c. for example is attacking russia right so somebody is a give somebody some new pride laughs or an eye test or something to improve their end because they don't can't seem to find which countries which on a global map that seems to be a basic problem geography number one number 2 we like what china is doing with the 5 g. technology and artificial intelligence that are already way past america at this point beyond what america is going to catch up to you know should we like we do
6:53 am
with climate change where we say you know what it's too late we just have to get used to it maybe that goes to the main thing is to say you know it's too late china's going to be the superpower we're no longer a superpower let's get used to it maybe that's the humane thing to do chris well there is something to be said to be drafting off the lead you can actually gain a lot of footing and not situation and also save a lot of energy and it was and i'm better you know places i do think saying something nice that from any of our leaders is probably a death sentence in regards to any sort of political career. but i would say that's not a terrible idea but let's pretend like that's way far fetched more far fetched than everybody unifying and figuring out how to tackle this challenge i do think. we have a real issue that needs to bring to light the fact that the republicans are
6:54 am
on the case the democrats which it has been very frustrating to me and obviously i come from a very democratic base area a country ollywood in industry and it has been frustrating that they haven't jumped into it in fact i want to be on democrat platforms talking about this but they're not even mentioning the word china on c.n.n. or on m.s.n. b.c. or any of the left leaning programs we need to start that and i know there. obviously nervous about jumping into the china for a because it's going to be hard for him so look it's hawkish trump but regardless of who wins at least we get both parties thinking about this and hopefully we can find some venn diagram you know overlap where we can actually tackle the challenge together while they fight about all kinds of other things that have nothing to do with china you know the last few moments here let's talk a little bit more about some solutions like you did mention their whole developed they're developing nations they had us and they have that in the w.c.
6:55 am
which means they get to apply tariffs to our goods we don't get to apply them to there is obviously that should go because we have friends that live in china and they say like coming here is like coming to the developing nation versus them being a massively developed what do you think of that. yeah i know 100 percent i mean it's a it's a crazy situation i get why it was in you know regionally enacted because we did similar things when we were coming into our own industrial revolution to try to catch up to the european nations but now that they're caught up in fact this max is there even have asked us and various banks enough's enough let's put them on the same playing field as we're at the same accounting practices place you know i mean let's just simply start with those i mean red or blue how does anybody disagree with that i get the fact that that means j.p.n. and goldman sachs and morgan stanley won't have as much action taking nice as so we
6:56 am
used public on the exchanges well come on guys we're all party in united states of america we need to think about what's good for this country and good for the people it can't always be about just churning and sure earning insurance more money i mean the nuts enough wake wispy smarts right well remember when britain has a similar situation of china they started out with came out of the opium wars right they got chinese hooked on opium and as a way to get them to buy stuff from britain because they were playing the game the way britain wanted it now china has returned the favor and got america hooked on really cheap goods like big screen t.v.'s and cheap textiles so we're hooked we're we're starting out you know americans are basically you know out on crack so where do you find that problem and figure out how to get an american to do an honest based up the situation is that going to get any better chris but anyway thanks so much for being on the path report about summer solutions. well i hope we came up with some solutions and i really appreciate you having me on and i hope
6:57 am
a lot of your audience goes out and buys the book because i think it's a really fun entertaining story there that hopefully engages them in just something that's fun to read but there's a lot of great lessons in it sort of walks through how we got to this point and also talks about what we might want to do you address you know moving forward so thank you again and that's it for this episode of kaiser apart summer solo shows up they max keiser and stacy however again thanks to our guest chris fenton the book is feeding the dragon trying to get touch with us on twitter at kaiser report intellect time by a. pepsi max well soggy is one of the most sensational stories of our time however media coverage appears to be limited to learning details and political overtones the single biggest question that needs to be answered is how all of this could have
6:58 am
happened where was law enforcement and will justice be served. thinking of getting a new gun the ones we got in our shot from rob why is he didn't know it's still strapped in this time you know why are we going near the crate with him he will stir reaching out into the wall when it's freedom anywhere near. reading dogs or caged in the in human conditions on puppy farms i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in cages outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the courtier the rain the snow the funder nothing they have no protection. because you. know it's ok. across the us cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and pet stores most of the puppies are coming from these large scale factory farming kind of operations are being sold in
6:59 am
stores even joined a good businesses are involved like ogling mom santa there has been a shocking amount of organized opposition to adverts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding facilities most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with dogs don't buy dog on o.t. . the us economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours 'd in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still has the lead up to the reality of those who were not financially equality and the lack of affordable housing for a living minimum wage gave many people no choice but to just been a problem with the city knows turn to bitch and told me stay away oh miss colton since the food the food is low is because you have some records resource the most

vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become invisible cops. the lebanese capital is slowly reviving after being stunned by a deadly explosion in the port of beirut the humanitarian and medical aid coming in from all over the world. it's been 75 years after the atomic bombing of hiroshima by the u.s. the crown marks the anniversary of the tragedy with a minute of silence we asked japanese and americans what they think about the events of 945. terms of. its being justified our no i think it's tough to believe people for the mistakes of history and i think the use of the atomic bomb was unacceptable there was no reason to do it. also this
7:01 am
hour a video emerges of a father being violently dragged by police for refusing to leave his dying daughter's hospital bedside after being told i should be taken off life support. i think you cannot get over the tragedy. it was not just the looks and it was the son song students and literally just. watching art international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. we start with lebanon which is trying to recover from the massive explosion in beirut that killed 137 people and injured 5000 more some residents are still missing and the local authorities say the number of dead
7:02 am
and injured is expected to rise as rescue workers are still clearing through the rubble to search for survivors as we give you an idea of the scale of the does. aster here are satellite images of the area before and after the blast also running buildings were leveled by the shock waves which were reportedly felt as far away as cyprus the explosion happened in the densely populated port area of the city here are some firsthand accounts of the moment of the blast. the area where i live is very far from the port that the smoke glass and destruction did took place reached us. through that and if you see the 2nd explosion occurred in the last thing i saw was dust and glass cutting our bodies i saw the remains of people on the ground and people screaming and children crying. what happened was like a nightmare and it was because of recklessness whether it was an explosion were bombing the whatever this was due to recklessness but on
7:03 am
a plan that almost doesn't but when i went towards people and told them we should not be here at that moment i turned around and i was he by something in my right hand that's when the big explosions started it threw me to the ground the sheer extent of the destruction has left the city's emergency services overwhelmed residents have taken to the streets to help with the clean up operation local journalists report on how people in beirut are coping with the tragedy. beta it's one of the oldest cities in the world with a 5000 year history leveled in the space of a few minutes the explosion and fire destroyed buildings within a 10 kilometer radius turning this bustling city into a bomb crater. a
7:04 am
and. the for. this here is one of the busiest streets and. it is host to tens of shops many of which are for internationally known brands today it is covered with shattered glass and rubble and people are trying to pick up the pieces of what was caused by the explosion yesterday this here area is known to be very joyful it used to be very crowded and very busy very colorful unfortunately today it looks very sad the disaster that happened to beirut it's. just to be like. a ton of people full of lives and the situation on the ground in the town do everything got destroyed this is the 2nd time in history that the route has been
7:05 am
destroyed like this it doesn't look like the route i feel like i'm in a different country not only is this area known to be as a commercial hub and to one of the most important places for shopping and leisure at the level of lebanon as a whole but also many of these buildings are actually or have a lot of historic importance they are landmarks which was toward the lebanese civil war and following the lebanese civil war many of. i'm was destroyed lebanon has you had billeted these buildings back in the ninety's today again unfortunately we find that much of them has been destroyed and they need to habitation all over again. this isn't the beirut we know we know beirut is the middle east it is heartbreaking to see that all the buildings have been damaged and homes destroyed this disaster the worst in lebanon since the lebanese civil war is yet another body blow for the country after 9 months of antigovernment on the west the economy was already in a state of meltdown half of the population is below poverty line food prices are
7:06 am
soaring and the currency is devalued with house to find yet another way to rise from beneath that is the lebanese government says a number of court officials have been placed under house arrest pending and vesta geisha into the tragedy meanwhile floridians have allocated over 66000000 dollars to deal with the aftermath of the blasts the international community is also coordinating its relief efforts to help beirut to get back to normal life russia is among those helping sending 5 emergency planes to the lebanese capital and applying a mobile hospital there are 2 ways correspondent reports from the site. this is a field hospital in its early stages it is just being built in fact there's another group of emergency workers on the way with more infrastructure but this is where russian rescuers will be taking those injured those still in need of medical attention from after the blast.
7:07 am
well everything that you can see around me was erected overnight it was literally an empty lot just it 2 o'clock in the morning last time i was here well fast forward 6 hours and well there's already a small tent city here. well these are search dogs have been traveling with me or rather i was with them and they will be sniffing out those who may be still trapped and a life under the rubble. the city of be roots is devastated morally physically financially in fact of all places that i've ever been to apart from active war zones of course this one with all the rubble of destruction and vehicles just abandoned that side of the road
7:08 am
resembles a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie the most and the russian aid effort aims here at relieving at least some of the pay a makers done of reporting from beirut in lebanon r.t. . it's been 75 years since the us dropped the atomic bomb on japan city of herat 3 days later on the 9th of august the bombing of nagasaki followed its attacks led to countless civilian deaths while scores of people continue to die years after the tragedy to severe burns radiation sickness and other injuries.
7:09 am
mark local you know it just. now is how to know much you words in that system must up pretty well i. need to guy night. i get to meet on this. cold war you must be. jerks i have factions you have good haven't you cares you've got i want you to have to take care of every matter. how does your about particular. danger get smashed. i had to cut down at my desk when i say architect. to where the new cat to. get and she knew to have a mechanic to get him out and have commissioned. me
7:10 am
. most of the events have been scaled back this year due to the pandemic but a small ceremony still took place in her russia to pounce prime minister and the mayor of the city were joined in the city's peace park by the few surviving witnesses of the horrific event they marked last with a minute of silence. to. the u.s. and japan are forever linked by the tragedy here's what people in new york and her russian must say about the events of 945. take a drastic measure here anything like to say i feel like i haven't learned much as. i do the u.s. . troops there and just. the consequence of the war
7:11 am
they brush up on. me and i say is that their number so long. was it a result or something like pearl harbor maybe pearl harbor it had something to do with the u.s. response to coral arbor. yeah that's that's pretty much all i know a valid it. we're. fixing our terms of. it being justified i don't know i think it's tough to blame people for the mistakes of history and see why something like that catastrophic should go like not an apology a word like but the phrase you know chaos or retribution but obviously to some solidarity something to recognise that loss of life and indeed reparation one way or another i'm not for reparations i'm native american beef think i'm going to get any there's not going to happen it's not going to happen for the japanese.
7:12 am
why don't you when my mother was 7 months pregnant with me the atomic bomb was dropped my cousin was also an atomic bomb survivor and died of leukemia after 75 years i'm still very sorry for those who died. and i think the use of the atomic bomb was unacceptable there was no reason to do it the military situation was utterly hopeless for japan perhaps it wouldn't have taken much longer for the water end and it would have been over without the bombings the war between japan and the us it's a shame the us hasn't apologized to japan for the bombings. you know. it's very important to say it out loud to emphasize what the real purpose of the hiroshima bombing was if we keep silent the propaganda war when. japan has had a strong or only ship with the u.s. including with the trump administration although there have been a few stumbling blocks the latest coronavirus spike in okinawa where the u.s.
7:13 am
has military bases has angered japanese officials also been reports that trump want to japan to pay more for hosting the troops us still tariffs and the white house has withdrawn from the transpacific partnership haven't helped the situation either . executive director of the japan center for money and politics says the trump administration is having an impact on top. everything is it is kind of like her you know i'm predictable about this president trump even for. this closest ally japan and japanese government has no option to go to different paths so we probably have to stick to the u.s. government but at the same time i don't know how long the prime minister. will stay in its position he never say that he will go different way from the united states but this and so today the. president trump the prime minister might use this
7:14 am
opportunity to what happened to trump mr ation and what. prime minister i mean the sink thinking right now that. he might be a different way and he might bring us to then other options. the atomic bomb didn't just change the political landscape but the cultural one as well. takes a look at how the deadly blasts helped to form the popular culture we consume on a day to day basis. there are moments in history in our memories so powerful they have shaped our culture tragic but defining of the mushroom clouds billowing over the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki.
7:15 am
for decades the us suppressed almost all footage it was only in the 1980s that color images sought by the us military posture be released to this day the material has never been shown in its entirety. but out of the unimaginable suffering roy who's a new pop culture in america the devastating release of radioactive particles change the contours take on comic books and superheroes spite of the fantastic full the incredible hulk all derived from exposure to radiation. we've never seen anything even close to your levels of exposure if you survive an
7:16 am
event like that. for you only smell better than ever sealed regional scenery. like leave it in the us atomic power was mostly about heroism and influence but japan how different take associations were instead made with destruction and. take up a new killer mutant rampaging through the streets of tokyo. this city chaotic out in crisis powerless before it. but as relations between countries change so too to the movies to follow in king kong last is an epic battle between the japanese and u.s. pop culture icons atop mount fuji. is defeated tokyo is say around $10000000.00 went to watch that film in japan and it remains the most watched in the cuts in the series to date but turned out to ponder how to not shaping our childhoods from penn

involved in a transactional relationship with those breeders and obviously the ones producing the most dogs are the largest scale 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 even 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 inspects kennels but they don't make any of those inspection records available. they say that they've got rigorous standards but they really don't. what those standards are real terms they say that they kick people out we don't really have
7:31 am
a comprehensive record of when they're doing that or what the consequences are even if they're ticked up they can still keep breathing and they can still keep operating so what's the value of their inspections program there in force and efforts for all we know are completely meaningless we don't know what they even inspect for 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. the accused is a group that says it's the dogs champion but in practical terms
7:32 am
is consistently leading the fight against efforts to establish humane dog breeding standards in the states at the federal level. over $5000.00 killed inspections last year. the american kennel club. we make all this possible because you make us possible. just or your dog the only us registry that matters isn't a g c dot org and we're ever we advance that sort of legislation not 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 over 100 different bills regulations or ordinances that protect dawgs. in 2012 alone the a k c opposed the nebraska state bill that would require commercial breeders to
7:33 am
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 or below $35.00 degrees why is the american kennel club the dogs best friend opposing this legislation that says that once a year you've got to have a vet examine these dogs or you can't breathe them every single goal or you can't have more than 50 breeding females at an operation why would a group pose that well they were there because they're making money from those
7:34 am
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 while most pet lands are independently owned and operated the company's relationship with the 8 casey is a central focus in nearly every store. it's not unusual to see a dog that's a case a registered in a pet store. a 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 raced on and unfortunately had not taken that position. well you know it's will. survive. so i thought.
7:35 am
it was really done. anything that's not a disease. i actually bought my 1st stock from pathway and in my head i was saving that dog from the cage only because it was way too big for the small cage it was and there was poop and he just likes a and i went back to visit and visit and visit well that 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 these options i would visit the dog it just started me looking to the cage and i code you want to go to a puppy play room and then they'd give you a toy to get to play with this dog and you 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 you know he would really love to go home with you and so they're trying to play on your emotions and on your pocketbook and reasoning apparently in store with your family and you can help. you
7:36 am
. for your family and now maybe you are asking yourself where did this come from let's take a look at the journey that 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 shipment 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 out a gem right next to a pet land and i see it all the time. and i stopped and said you know even to a young couple you know a kid say beef do me
7:37 am
a favor before you go in there you know google puppy mills oh we know a popular shows us why are you going to buy a dog. no rescues that have puppies right now what do you look at 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 defect or some chronic problem or worms or parvo or anything that at least animals can pick up in the actual milk and to of 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 of 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 horrendous it's not just pet lamb franchises they get the
7:38 am
vast majority of their inventory from the primary states for puppy mills independent pet stores choose to seek out these 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 in holmes county were sold wholesale to d. and g. only one reason would seemingly compel the owner of d.m.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. because a reputable great. where somebody who cares about their animals wants to know what they're calling any breeder that is in it for the love of dogs and they they love
7:39 am
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 on the internet or sell a dog to a broker to sell to a pet store that's not going to happen a good breeder or want to know who you are you always have to go and see even 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 they're almost guaranteed it's a puppy mill. this is largely a marketing sort of enterprise were people can register the litters the puppies and you get the halo effect that this isn't it to see registered dollars or litter when in reality it has no practical meaning when it comes to animal welfare they
7:40 am
see papers mean absolutely nothing you know and when you come push comes to shove a hasty when they're backed into o'connor was and as i said do with humaneness or the quality of the dog only means who the mother and the fathers 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 they 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 don't meet the amount of money or the expenses of putting them on so historically they have always subsidized their dog shows for registry fees so this is why they're going to see you know 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 has been subsidized by the cruelty of puppy mills because you. well not stop us from commercial and the
7:41 am
opposed legislation when you go through the senate of. 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 1600 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.
7:43 am
a short term ago an american air play ground floor on hiroshima. standing up kind. of go. on to lead you to the left or 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 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.
7:44 am
seemed wrong. but old rules just don't. mean you get to shape out just to become educated and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. prob b. 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 it you're in pictures of puppy mills and things like that after 2 weeks i just forgot all that literature it
7:45 am
was a copy of prop because it wasn't that people wanted to support above the bills or call the dogs this is this is terry that if i did 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 it and then of course when they were confronted on it and showed the wall they said well it's a slippery slope but there was still continue to go into rural areas and convinced 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
7:46 am
eliminating all of domesticated animals you know dogs cats then you go into livestock arena forces and so forth and then the ballot measure 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 clothes no way to defend the mouth so instead they want to change the subject to all these other animals that people. response 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 triggers 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 the way this proposition was about dogs but initially wants you to think it's about all these other animals
7:47 am
because that will scare the hell that it. really is an issue for anyone to like speak 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 was showed this and it matched exactly. so that's why we here. we lived our lives here pretty much you know or happy leave with 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
7:48 am
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 north of. the farmland foods facility in milan missouri is owned by smithfield foods the largest hog processor in the world with revenues exceeding $13000000000.00 in 2013. the operation north of me is called green hills. there isn't a single pig in there that ever seen as 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 valley view and you think all little piggy riding on
7:49 am
green grass you know just kind of smooching out there and being in the sun you don't see that. these are feeder pigs in the amounts old weights 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 trespass it just trespass on your property gulfs you and it's there and i mean it's 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 3 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
7:50 am
organization for for so many years because all of a sudden this operation this organization backed allen and it supposedly is a farm organization these supposedly supports individual independent farmers and all of a sudden they were siding with industry and they're siding with industry to this very day they campaigned 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 hector 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.
7:51 am
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
7:52 am
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 groups use 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. missouri farmers care which were largely responsible for the opposition to proposition b. alliance for truth i 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 other 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 during has
7:53 am
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 liberal it's on the proposition paid for by a large for true mark patterson treasury i mean they would be fending of goes with the 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 and ranchers 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 guy with business who are benefiting and it's the industry why defense that's going on is not to protect the
7:54 am
poor rancher i mean those guys are getting screwed i have to stink interest in the future of this farm and the future of this community. corporation their interest is making money their interest is not in the community their interest is not what is being left behind community interests. is 0. product be very specific it was a bill that he 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 bill was signed
7:55 am
by a missouri every vote that passed property and the law was passed by a missouri rosie missourians here and this was not i doubt a state you know if 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 the sir residence of both and that's. why they were soon oh you know as though there were. very. good bites at you one of the had 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 eyes are on missouri governor jay nixon will he find a bill changing proposition b. even though voters already approved it prop b.s. during the emotions of missourians on both sides of the issue but it was ultimately
7:56 am
approved by 51 percent of voters the thought of altering it is an outrage and wall supporters controlling a couple of 100 lawmakers have come to treated their judgment or their judgment about a 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 wall makers are now working to change the ink wasn't drawing on the formalizing of the final election results well stay. lawmakers in missouri said we're going to repeal probably several of them moving its bills to repeal probably in its entirety immediately after the vote of the people you know we're not out to put these people out of business per se we just want them to comply with good standards of care but instead they wanted to repeal the whole thing they threw it all out it was just ridiculous 5 months after missouri voters approved a tough new puppy mill all the law is changing they even changed the name of the
7:57 am
law from the puppy mill cruelty 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 the side 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 ignore there is an election that's the way things run and then i had to think what is best for these you know as you know can you 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 not taking anything we want it all and i know you have to do what's best for you that's why you got into this.
7:58 am
you cannot be both with the yeah you like. is you'll be dia a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will my. you feel safe. isolation will community. are you going the right way or are you being led. directly. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallows.

how can you explain love i've been to 82 countries i did in 12 but i came here and on those 3 days i just filled with hope. and he kept pretty isn't it sick show. i made my decision to come here because i felt and you i could build a new life suited to who should know think of prison. as a free man for god decided that this man is no good to be free. 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
8:00 am
joined a russian fama. the lebanese capital is slowly reviving after being stung by a deadly explosion in the port of beirut and humanitarian and medical aid coming in from all over the world. 75 years after the atomic bombing of hiroshima by the us japan marks the anniversary of the tragedy it with a minute of silence we asked japanese and americans what they think about the events of 1925. terms of. it's justified i don't know i think it's tough to to believe people for the mistakes of history and i think the use of the
8:01 am
atomic bomb was unacceptable it was a new reason to do it. also this hour a video emerges of a father being violently dragged by police for refusing to leave his dying daughter's hospital bedside after being told she would be taken off life support. i think you cannot begin to bend the tragedy for china. and not just give us not just the last and insists on substance and literally. this is art international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 3 pm welcome to the program. we start and lebanon which is trying to recover from the massive explosion in beirut that killed 137 people and injured 5000 more some residents are still missing the local authorities say the number of
8:02 am
dead and injured is expected to rise as rescue workers are still clearing through the rubble to search for survivors and to give you an idea of the scale of the disaster here our satellite images of the area before and after the blasts also running buildings were leveled by the shock waves which were reportedly felt as far away as cyprus explosion happened in the densely populated port area of the city for some locals the day was meant to be a big event for a very different reason here's the moment a wedding photo shoot with sudden. we turn to chaos by the glass. eye. the lebanese government says a number of port officials have been placed under house arrest pending an investigation into the tragedy meanwhile authorities have allocated over $66000000.00 to deal with the aftermath the international community is also
8:03 am
coordinating its relief efforts to help beirut to get back to normal life russia is among those helping sending 5 emergency planes to the lebanese capital and deploying a mobile hospital there are days correspondent years down the reports from the site . this is a field hospital in its early stages it is just being built in fact there's another group of emergency workers on the way with more infrastructure but this is where russian rescue as will be taking those injured those still in need of medical attention from after the blast. well everything that you can see around me was erected overnight it was literally an empty lot just it 2 o'clock in the morning last time i was here well fast forward 6 hours and well there's already a small tent city here. well
8:04 am
these are search dogs have been traveling with me or rather i was with them and they will be sniffing out those who may be still trapped and a life under the rubble. the city of be roots is devastated morally physically financially in fact of all places that i've ever been to apart from active war zones of course this one with all the rubble of destruction and vehicles just abandoned at the side of the road resembles a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie the most and the russian aid effort aims here at relieving at least some of the pay a makers done of reporting from beirut in lebanon r.t. . the share extent of the destruction has left the city's emergency services overwhelmed residents have taken to the streets to help with operation. reports on
8:05 am
how people in beirut are coping with tragedy. later with one of the oldest cities in the world with a 5000 year history leveled in the space of a few minutes the explosion and fire destroyed buildings which. in a 10 kilometer radius turning this bustling city into a bomb crater. the of. the for. this here is one of the busiest streets and. it is host to tens of shops many of
8:06 am
which are for internationally known brands today it us covered with shattered glass and rubble and people are trying to pick up the pieces of what was caused by the explosion yesterday this here area is known to be very joyful it used to be very crowded and very busy very colorful unfortunately today it looks very sad the disaster that happened to beirut it's. like. a front of people full of lives and the situation and the young adults around do everything got destroyed this is the 2nd time in history that the route has been destroyed like this it doesn't look like the route i feel like i'm in a different country not only is this area known to be as a commercial hub and the one of the most important places for shopping and leisure at the level of lebanon as a whole but also many of these buildings are actually or have
8:07 am
a lot of historic importance they are landmarks which was toward the lebanese civil war and following the lebanese civil war many of them was destroyed lebanon has you have bullet tainted these buildings back in the ninety's today again unfortunately we find that much of them has been destroyed and they need to habitation all. over again. this isn't the beirut we know we know beirut is the peril of the middle east which is heartbreaking to see that all the buildings have been damaged and homes destroyed this disaster the worst in lebanon says the lebanese civil war is yet another body blow for the country after 9 months of empty government on rest the economy was already in a state of meltdown half of the population is below poverty line food prices are soaring and the currency is devalued now baby with has to find yet another way to rise from beneath that is. it's been 75 years since the u.s. dropped the atomic bomb on the japanese city of hiroshima 3 days later on the 9th of august the bombing of nagasaki followed the attacks led to at least 150000

8:09 am
journey of saying actions you have could have communication you going to want to attach to their. extremist. and you have to kind of. going to change your question asked. i'm going to get to that datum a day when i get there. on your couch next to mine i guess and she died and i think they're going to take her to another and have commissioned. memorial events have been scaled back this year due to the pandemic but i small ceremony still took place in hiroshima prime minister i'm the mayor of the city we're joined in the city's peace park by the few surviving witnesses of the horrific event that marks the blast with a minute of silence. the
8:10 am
u.s. and japan are forever linked by the tragedy here's what people in new york city and hershey must say about the events of 945. take a drastic measure it's here and i like to say i feel like i haven't learned much about it so i just see the us. japan has just. done the not to listen more to brush up on. their members so long. was it ever sold. like harbor maybe pearl harbor had something to do with the us response to for over. yeah that's that's pretty much all i know of. where. the things are all terms of. it being justified i don't know i
8:11 am
think it's tough to to blame people for the mistakes of history and see why something like that catastrophic should go like not an apology we're like better appreciate payoffs or retribution but obviously to some solidarity something to recognize that loss of life and a commemoration one way or another i'm look for reparations i'm native american the figure more give any there's not going to happen it's not going to happen but it's just nice. but that's true when my mother was 7 months pregnant with me the atomic bomb was dropped my cousin was also an atomic bomb survivor and died of leukemia after 75 years i'm still very sorry for those who died. and i think the use of the atomic bomb was unacceptable there was no reason to do it and the military situation was utterly hopeless for japan
8:12 am
perhaps it wouldn't have taken much longer for the water end and it would have been over without the bombings the war between japan and the us it's a shame the u.s. hasn't apologized to japan for the bombings. you know this is. it's very important to say it out loud to emphasize what the real purpose of the hiroshima bombing was if we keep silent the propaganda war when. japan has had a strong relationship with the us including with the trump administration although there have been a few stumbling blocks away this crown of our spike in okinawa where the u.s. has military bases has angered japanese officials have also been reports that trump wanted to panda pay more for hosting the troops us still talking. there are underlying problems trump all the sea has exacerbated the relationship with japan i demanded more money for american troops forcing says. he needs united states for its remove try sation and so forth and it's locked in this alliance and
8:13 am
it's very difficult for us to to break out on the other hand there are reasons for it as the other thing more autonomy and we will see that as the. declines effect as a sort of a sas alliance it's not a alliance to to sort of equal independent states falls in i just h. japan is a major facile to be used against its enemies and its main enemies today certainly in east asia is china if he was out the united states japan would have no huge problems with china the alliance is still there and it's probably not going to go away so it's strange but still in place it tomic bomb didn't just change the political landscape but the cultural one as well. takes a look at how the deadly blast helped to form the popular culture we consume on
8:14 am
a day to day basis. there are moments in history in our memory so powerful they have seen to our culture tragic but defining all the mushroom clouds billowing over the japanese cities. i'm not. surprised. it was only in the 1980s that color images sought by the u.s. military were possibly released to this day the material has not been shown in its entirety.
8:15 am
but out of the unimaginable suffering royal who's a new pop culture in america the devastating release of radioactive particles change the country's take on comic books and superheroes spite of the fantastic full the incredible hulk all derived from exposure to radiation. we've never seen anything even close to your level of exposure if you survive an event like that. you're only smell better than ever steel but you know surely you can. leave it in the us atomic power was mostly about heroism and influence but japan how different take associations were instead made with destruction and mutation take up a new killer mutant rampaging through the streets of tokyo to city chaos take out in crisis powerless before us.

but as relations between countries change so too do the movies to follow and king kong last is an epic battle between the japanese and us pop culture icons atop mount. is defeated tokyo is say around $10000000.00 went to watch that film in japan and it remains the most watched in the cuts in the series to date but turned out japan had a knack for shaping our childhoods from penn come on to hello kitty in a route so they were as much hits a broad as. i couldn't get enough of them it didn't matter if it could see the wires and the seams in the costumes and the least moving when the words didn't it was so fanciful and imaginative. it was japan was at the forefront pop culture and technology from the nintendo game console to the last possible cassette by sony it's mania the kids of america saying this is great we've got to have one for boys
8:17 am
in this country between the ages of 8 and 15 not having an intent is like not having a baseball bat japan continues to successfully export its pop culture like minder and animate some say that creates a sort of outlet for nothing is from the anxiety paid triggered by events back in 1905 but teenagers in the us who consume the poverty and colorful characters and stories don't see this fantasy is being created to escape from the darkness of tragedy. we're back with more news after this. 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 to globalization the
