deeper into the statistics. things get it truly grim the center on budget and policy priorities discovered that 3.7 percent of adults reported that their household had not enough to eat sometimes or often in the 12 in the entire 12 months of 2019 and that as recently as the end of august in early september of this year just 2 weeks ago my friends about 10 percent of all adults reported that their household sometimes or often didn't have enough to eat within the last 7 days. this is in the united states of america today 200000 bedroom code 19 over $6000000.00 more at just over $26.00 trillion dollars but yet this is supposedly the greatest country in the world according to our elected officials at our meat ball of a president a country where today 9 to 14 percent of adults with children reported that their children sometimes or often didn't eat anough in the last 7 days why is that

because my friends honestly they couldn't afford it you see this is where neo liberalism has as brought us this is what unbridled an unregulated capitalist system has wrought. this is what political hacks and corporate party yes men like chuck schumer mitch mcconnell jim jordan and nancy pelosi as congress has done to the american people this without a doubt as donald trump's america. a country a one time leaders fought for the greater good of the people not the greater good of themselves and their next election. united states of america is starving morally and financially and now even physically which means it's time to start watching the homes. on a cd. player so you can see the crisis joyce

state. rolls royce graves suggests least systemic dissent says show which. brings up the old. welcome everyone to watching the hard. time of the show. you know i didn't i didn't like circle this story on the map because i want to kind of say oh what was the look of a house the united states has become because there's a lot of countries around the world that deal with problems like these and with some time and they sometimes are a lot worse than what we're dealing with but it's the kind of point out the we are . this shining beacon beacon on the hill in the word nor in some pretty major things here in this country like you know child starvation and shocking and it's horrible we absolutely are and i'd like that you pointed out because it's a story that goes on told over and over and over again and there are certain party action groups i was a member of the child poverty action group here in d.c.

and the problem that we have is that the american media by and large ignores these stories so people don't know that they need to be advocates of these things because there are a lot of folks who honestly don't know that it's a problem or think that it's a lot smaller problem than it actually is when we talk about children and not being able to eat or not having healthy food or not even having access to food in america we are a nation that is the that has the largest chart child poverty rate and hunger rate in the western world in the developed world which. really sad considering that we're also the richest nation on earth that's what really gets me i mean it it it breaks my heart when you look at the according the the partner of agriculture in recent years 31 percent of the u.s. food supply at the retail and consumer level has been thrown out in one way or level one way or another that's 31 percent that doesn't mean i went bad it just means it was thrown out we didn't use it. that's roughly $133000000000.00 pounds of food with

a value of $161000000000.00 which is twice as much as the bedroom government spends on programs like snap or other food programs that's twice as much as all of the government to produce combined that's just an amazing number in a crazy amount of food to throw away i wonder what that looks like during you know the pandemic time where folks are still you know trying to figure out what to do and how to feed their families especially when cash is really strapped at this point but even outside of the pandemic we have so many families across this country that are trying to make ends meet and just put food on the table and to have a country that decides that you know when they have the access to do that it's not even worth trying to find people to help and it would be too hard because there are people in communities across america they need this beat every day and you know this this crosses you know it crosses a lot of you know racial lines and things like the black and latino households are affected by those significantly higher than white households others 19 to 70 percent respectively but it does cross racial lines you could have you know poor

white you know children unable to eat why to build something of the poor black children by adults on able you so it does cross all those lines in it just it breaks my heart to like you said the media doesn't cover it no one really wants to talk about it when they do talk about it it's usually you know casted like a political infighting between the 2 sides as opposed to saying why our brothers and sisters aren't good enough to hasten a political infighting and just this disappointing rhetoric around snap benefits we know that snap fraud which you know republicans like to claim happens more often than it does it's less. the one percent we know that the majority of people who actually qualify for snap and this goes back to your point about there being so many it crossing racial lines and everything else the majority of people who qualify for snap in the appalachian for instance are white americans they live below the poverty line and they don't actually take those benefits and that you know their children are really suffering i think that we have so many people in this country who need to wisen up to the devastation of poverty especially the one of the children and that hunger exists right here again in the richest nation on

earth there are people every day who don't know where their next meal is going to come exactly and you know what don't be ashamed about the you know that's one of the things i remember growing up you know people who sort of got food stamps you know they're kind of ridiculed things like that just let them to be ashamed of your eating but you know providing for your family food whether you're getting help from the government or words coming from a job and you're proud of what doesn't matter you're providing for your family whether that's through help or through your hard work it's the same difference you put your child sage words. white america continues to spread the theory that pulling yourself up by your bootstraps good decision making education and simply being a good citizen will lead to a prosperous life and well if that sounds like balti logic well it is but let's not operate under a veil of ignorance that's what facts and numbers reveal a story many across america just refuse to accept according to the brookings institution the net worth of the typical white family in 2016 was $171000.00

meanwhile that of a black family stood at a mere $17150.00 the average white family has nearly hint times the wealth of the average black family. and over the past 3 decades white house hold well far exceeds blacks were garlics of the recessions or economic of people in fact not only do white households require recover quicker after recessions are downturns they also tend to gain even more wealth and if all things remain constant black wealth could actually drop to a net 0 nada zilch by the year 2053 according to a report by the nonprofit prosperity now 2 of the nation's leading civil rights leaders recently sat down with business insider to dispel the myths about the racial wealth gap and what it will take to close it. marc morial president c.e.o. of the national urban league and former president and c.e.o.

of been jealous had a lot to say. morial shut down the idea that the racial wealth gap could be eliminated by race neutral policies he said quote we saw the value of this most recently in the club in 1000 federal relief package which failed to reach the black communities that were hardest hit. and ben jealous added a note on the myth of individual behavior being the reason the wealth gap exists saying quote we've all heard it argued that if black and brown communities simply worked harder or took more personal responsibility then inequality would go away that's just false it ignores the fact that the wealth gap is the product of centuries of inequality brought about by slavery segregation and government policies that lock generations of people of color out of economic opportunity. what we know is that changes in the economy disproportionately affect blacks discriminatory housing policies and wage inequality persist and if we really want to reduce the racial wealth gap we have to target policies to the inequities that cause the gaps to begin with specifically hiring compensation and lending to the

big 3 glad you pointed that out because you know if you can saw if you can fix that then you wouldn't have the problem we have but i think the big question is is why now 2020 the supposedly enlightened times that we live why do these myths about how to rise up and beat in their quality why are they still persist why is that good person get a good education try real hard everyone keeps talking about bootstraps a little bit more boots or straps on them for a very long time they're like italian just slip money so it was a so hard for white america come to grips with this issue because the american story there and the story that america likes to share with everybody is a horatio alger story people came here they were able to create for themselves they were able to establish and you know of a man become wealthy it only eradicates the fact that the majority of folks who left the british colonies and came to america were actually wealthy themselves they weren't you know poor and broke you know meandering around and they took advantage

of the people who were already here being the native of. merican but also a bird from africa and stole people basically to come here and work and work the fields that they didn't want to work and make money for them so i think that part of the story of the of america is one in which a lot of white americans feel comfortable telling a tale of pulling themselves up for their bootstraps when they are visual settlers that really do that either and it's part of the american eat those around how great this country happens to be in the american story and it's a story that's factually incorrect but one that many people find hard to grapple with because it means that they'll have to face other ugly truths that they don't want to talk about and it's because look you're facing the truth about your history or who you are or whether it was little was like your direct immediate family i'm dealing with those secrets family secrets always the worst but also there's a broader sort of your society your culture secrets those are good because that's what you have to learn and place those secrets you have to work because otherwise you cannot move into the future. you when you talked about before too and we've talked about on the show that one of the biggest issues that's not about trying to

create wealth with them black communities in the u.s. is black owned businesses black banks mortgage or you know giving getting those deals getting those things that hold true that it absolutely does so what we know about kobe 19 is that it totally ravaged the american economy in general but when we talk about the recovery and some of the the modes of people moving back into the workforce today versus what we saw in early march it has been a lot swifter for white businesses and a lot of poor white workers poor black workers the story has been largely different specifically when we talk about the relief packages because the relief packages afforded cash funds to less than 10 percent of black businesses whereas when it came to white owned businesses you saw that upwards of 60 so a lot of the black business where businesses were denied these basic you know savior type loans and they quickly went under then that cope 19 trials are still facing you know the african-american community at much higher rates because there

are no other employment opportunities when the largest employers of black people are other. black people and black businesses and those just aren't looking like they're going back it reminds me a lot of the good response back to turkey and katrina where you had george bush out there saying oh we're going to rebuild this you know rebuild this old white rich congressman's house and yeah those communities sought help in katrina but there was a whole ton of communities that still left people hanging 5 states away never even got morning been able to get home you know it's pretty ridiculous and that's what ends up happening and even the places where we're seeing some levels of recovery or places where there has been some great depression level you know foreclosures and other things ironically allow those are in black communities we saw it happened you know after the fall of 08 that crisis and we saw what happened in detroit guess who moved in later made mediately after that young ambitious white people came in and took the land the property that used to belong to a lot of the black families and black businesses and we're watching that happen all over again now with the backdrop of coping. well. all right as we go to break remember that you could also start watching the marks on them through the brand new

kentucky governor and deploying the national guard to the city after the mayor declared a state of emergency ordering a 72 hour overnight curfew. there were demonstrations unfolding in san francisco chicago washington d.c. and important organ you could see a demonstrator here throwing a molotov cocktails at police. and a new york city thousands gathered outside of the barclays center in brooklyn where they staged a die and before marching over the manhattan bridge into the city where tensions grew. the protests come after a grand jury declined to charge 3 police officers with directly killing briana taylor on march 13th the officers broke down the door to her apartment while executing a no knock warrant looking for suspected drug dealer. brianna's boyfriend fearing an intruder was breaking in shot one of the officers in the leg and that's when the

officers fired multiple shots killing briana former officer brett hankinson has been charged with 3 counts of one ton endangerment in the 1st degree this charge does not charge him with brianna's death but for recklessly shooting into a neighboring apartment and endangering the lives of others hankinson quickly booked and released and $15000.00 bail and instagram post from briana sr reading sr i am so sorry protesters on the ground reacting to the decision to not charge anyone for brianna's death with anger and disappointment. thank you thank you god again thank god 7 for. pouring. rain so you could stop it's not filing any on the site charges against the radio were just that morning briana taylor briana's family settled a civil suit with the city last week saying the charges fall short of what constitutes justice president trump and joe biden reacting to the announcement with a very different responses breathalyzer it was. really brilliant jokey if you're in

the general day you know cameron is doing a fantastic job. meantime there is an ongoing federal investigation to determine if the warrant that was used in this case was properly obtained and if briana civil rights were violated reporting in new york trinity chavez our team. president trump in the republican party don't believe in science they don't believe climate change exists they don't believe our environment is that risk these aren't partisan assumptions these assertions play out in the trump ministrations policy changes from the u.s. environmental protection agency a court has temporarily halted in e.p.a. rules that rescinded obama era standards for methane emissions oil and gas rector's . the change in the e.p.a. rule issued last month would allow an additional 450000 tons of methane and 120000

tons of volatile organic compounds and made it into the air over 10 year period think of the air quality issues this change could represent and the health issues associated with it for its part the e.p.a. has declined to comment on the policy saying the agency doesn't comment on pending litigation but the top administration is defending the changes because of the health and environmental risk posed by millions of abandoned oil and gas wells particularly for low income rule and minority communities already at high risk this is a cause for major concern environmental emergencies have been declared in various cities resulting in millions of dollars in settlements but is there really any money enough to cover the cost of health risk up to and including death warrant higher communities leaks from abandoned wills for a nationally recognized environmental problem they've been linked to several instances of groundwater contamination and public safety incidents including a methane blowout at a construction site in california just last year. can an environmental justice and

safety advocates elevate the dangers of a ban in oil and gas wells and what's next on this frontier. the 1000000000 dollar question because this is this boggles my mind when i mean when you look at these numbers this story preserves mattia estimate 2560000 oil and gas wells have been drilled 1300000 abandoned by 975 just to give you a lot and we think about the fact that a lot of these abandoned rigs were never actually plugged so it's like they're not only abandoned their abandoned and all of their contents can be eroded into the water can be eroded into the air there is nothing that can stop that unless states take control and what we know is that state budgets are largely constricted depending on how long these all oil rigs oil wells were actually there or and how deep they were it's going to cost a lot of. money we're talking about upwards you know starting at a range of maybe $5000.00 for shallow wells that are smaller to hands up thousands

of dollars for some of the deeper wells and again we have to remember how expansive this is many states have thousands of these wells they need to get you know what yeah i mean as of 2016 there were 3120000 abandoned wells in the united states 69 percent of the 3000000 was left on plug that's a serious amount of wells and look when you're talking about states who are already cash strapped because of what happened with coal with mobil they're not getting plugged anytime soon unless the step in and i'm sorry it's not a waste of my tax dollars to say hey you know this company decided to either went under or for various reasons decide we're walking away from this well we've got to plug it now if you can't get the company to do it which they should then we have to do it because this is like a smoke it was like a loaded weapon to your communities no i absolutely agree with you and there should be a forcible action for those companies to do it these companies come with their had their hand begging for cash from the federal government over and over and over again particularly after an economic downturn we're talking all in gas companies

particularly oil companies because people aren't driving as much as they used to people are using other types of modes of transportation they're still asking the federal government for money so for you to be somebody who is coming in getting all these all this assistance from different administrations you should be able to plug up some of these wells you know it's funny to me that we see these oil and gas companies and you know other companies that are harming the environment they're always the biggest suckers of the public trough they are always begging for more money and more bailouts and more help from the federal government but yet some of their biggest like proponents in congress are also the ones who yell the most about you know u.s. citizens as we mentioned earlier saying hey i need more money for snap or i need a little bit more welfare i want to i need a little bit more assistance so individual hell no but companies that leave you know almost 3200000 abandoned wells you know talks of buying our neighborhoods all but let's give them more money exactly and we have some states that are. a little bit better so wyoming for instance is an exception they were $250.00 to $400.00 wells a year but even with that they still have $3600.00 wells to go so we still have to

remember that this is an expansive problem and again states they can only go so far in the amount of money that they have on hand to do this. or. perry or so for 2020 s. w. and no i'm not talking about this year's latest edition of the queen family truckster. there it is but it is similar in size i'm talking of course about the latest asteroid to take a trip by our small blue planet what makes 2020 s w so special is that this asteroid which is roughly the size of the family truckster or an r.v. will actually come closer to earth than our own moon travelling by a set a distance of just over 27000 kilometers 2020 s.w. will not only be inside of the moon's orbit of birth but it will actually pass closer to us than some of the t.v. and weather satellites we put in our atmosphere thankfully the center part near

earth objects studies a service that 2020 has that you will fly by near earth and not into the earth thank goodness because like 2020 needs anymore. i wouldn't be difficult an asteroid mame 2020 exactly this is one of those times where you know chump space force might have an elf it's sure to read and also does it i mean look you know bruce willis is retired we don't have to fly up and blow up the asteroid anymore but it's incredible though and they say that like it's incredible to think the to be reminded of how precious things are here with the fact that look there's objects flying through the space of thousands of miles per hour that can collide into us of a moment in time. that didn't scare me at all that it's that they know what i'm going to live life more fully each day to cherish each day and to live life better and take care of our planet because we need random asteroid might put it all. anyway that is our scope for good remember in this world we are not told. you all i

love you are open for that and i will be. watching all those folks out there have a great day and night everybody. thank you only by social class. people also want to have a 1st. if you're born into a poor family you're born into a minority family if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life chances people die on average 15 years old a warning to generational poverty. it's a tough tough fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family.
