2500 by january 15th, just 5 days before joe biden would get sworn in. naturally cries of national security dominated the airwaves in response to this news. yes, it was an all out political news media blitz to convince you that somehow removing us troops and bringing them home from what are now multi-generational wars. that somehow puts them in more danger than being in a never ending war. but that wasn't the only bad news for the pentagon this week, as it appears once again. they just can't seem to get the old books. right. reuters is now reporting that the pentagon failed, failed its comprehensive audit and fiscal to that and fiscal year 2020. that's the 3rd year, the pentagon has failed since the 1st audit was conducted back in 2018. but apparently my friends there misuse and disregard for keeping proper accounting of how they spend billions and billions of our tax dollars. apparently that's ok. you

know, because golly gee, hate, they're getting better at it. at least that's according to department of defense comptroller, thomas harker, who told the media that hopefully by 2027, the pentagon will finally have a clean audit. ah, it's time to start watching the hawks in a city street there so you can see the crisis. you always state see a great city. this least systemic deception is show which some things you'll welcome one and all to watch in the heart. so i am to open the door and imus across. so let me show you. here we go, man 2, big stories coming out of the military industrial complex. this week we got donald trump saying, hey, i might pull understand iraq,

even syria before he leaves office on the 20th of january. the pentagon just can't seem to get its books right over. i mean, both of those stories are really being the one that's getting more, you know, news coverage. and the other one is obviously a pullout methods in part because nobody knew this was coming beforehand. he didn't talk about this during his campaign cycle. aside from, you know that the ongoing, he just doesn't like wars, he had no real strategy of what the pullout was going to look like. who was going to still be there if anyone was going to still be there? and what that drawdown when that drawdown would start? so i think that now there are people who are questioning it, basically on the basis of merit and whether he can actually pull it off more so than anything else. yeah, i mean, i've always noticed over the years and up and gives washington more frightened than someone saying, hey, we might, we might slow down the war machine a little bit and look, i, i am not a fan of donald trump by a member pertaining to be a fan of donald trump, but if someone wants to talk peace or at least get our soldiers out of harm's way, so we're stop killing civilians overseas. we stop seeing our guys die overseas and

just stop that. i don't care who the guy is or woman. there's that brings our troops home, i just brought home and i think that there are a lot of people who would agree with that. for me personally, it is more of a what are his alterio motives? because i'm trying to pull troops out a long time ago. so you're going to need that. i mean, he's a fool for term president. he could've done this towards the beginning of his term . he could've done in the middle. he could have done it any time other than the time. he's also arguing that the results of the most recent election were false, and that, you know, ballots went missing and all the crazy things he's saying right now, i think that there's something more here. and there, i don't think you're alone. also remember too is that it's not like trump's ago because as well as he was talking about pulling troops out of syria down a stand, they were accused talking about potentially bombing iran. so it's not like he's some big peacenik coming along. the other big story of this audit, which is really interesting, that you know, the pentagon spot being audited for decades. and people forget that as our money at the end of the bay that they're using, that they should be responsible for. despite congress passing

a law way back in 1990, requiring all federal departments of the government to be audited every year. it took nearly 2 decades. but the 1st pentagon are to ever even be attempted. ridiculous. we're digging less and quite sad because it seems like federal agencies have no problem auditing individuals and more other federal agencies. so a think that when it comes to the pentagon, there is a lackluster process, because in all honesty, there are a lot of skeletons there. everybody knows that and i think that you know, as best as they can, they've been trying to keep a lot of things under cody. oh yeah. thomas harker of the acting department. the prince come trawlers kind of overseeing the audit. he said, quote, what you are seeing is a much mature ation of the process. many of the individual agencies or services are developing more capability and better accounting skills so that they can resolve a lot of the problems you're seeing. you're seeing significant process progress in certain areas. q magine telling the i.r.s. that if they came to audit, you don't want to get out. that's true. you know. but if you imagine the average

citizen telling the i.r.s. look, i know your audience, and i know i failed this audit for the last 20 years. but look, i'm progressing. it's getting a little better every year. you'd be in jail period, no question that they would come, they would take all of your stuff in you and that would be the end of it. and yet, and yet we let the pentagon get away with this and guess how much it cost to just audit the pentagon $203000000.00 and about a 1000000000 dollars in remediate cost to fix identified problems, not even the ones we haven't identified. the effort covers really roughly the $2.00 trillion tax dollars in department assets including and i didn't even know this, the roughly 26500000 acres of the way and that the pentagon homes talk about a massive agency that is the lot, not only cash, but also assets. the last interesting thing i got a note on this too, is it's interesting how quickly both sides come together. we're talking literally today when it comes to like saying, oh, maybe we should pull some troops out of certain areas of the world. and you have democrats and republicans jumping together to say no, don't do that,

which is interesting that they'd let it go. but when donald's talking about subverting the election process, no, i again, i think you're absolutely correct there because if they can stand out on this thing, they should have also been able to stand out on the total failure of the president to acknowledge that this election is over most of mississippi, known for its lack of civil rights progress, holding on to the confederate flag for far too long and systemic oppression has something new up its sleeve. recently, mississippi governor and trump loving republican take reid's call for 3 $1000000.00 to protect children from far left socialist teaching. that's right. in the midst of this school crisis at 19 job loss, the state that consistently falls at the bottom of the rankings in education, health care, and economic develop. it was $3000000.00. it doesn't have a conservative driven conspiracy theory. the patriotic education fund,

as it's now been deemed, has a few goals. according to governor reid, who claims democracy, capitalism and other american values are quote, the victims of a targeted campaign from foreign and domestic influence. and no other nation has done more for its citizens or to advance freedom and prosperity across the globe. well, not to be outdone by the magnolia state florida too has its share of problems. the state's democratic party is under fire not only for its lack of unity and failure to deliver a win for buying, but for mismanagement from top to bottom. the florida democratic party has had one bad cycle after another, but 2020 takes the cake with question defeats all the way down the ballot, and internal party fighting hasn't helped with trucks decisive win margin 2016. the state once considered a valuable swing state, lost that status completely in 2020, in the democratic stronghold, miami dade county jail, as well. democrat, sean scholl, a former state representative, summed it up with quote,

we have to turn out problems, messaging problems, coalition problems, it's up and down the board. well, florida seems to have 99 problems and they're all long standing. florida democrats have until the governor's office in over 2 decades and have been out of power in the state legislature for a quarter century. in fact, since obama won florida in 2012, democrats have only won one statewide race. a lot of blame is going on. the lack of latino support there for democrats. other call outs are centrist and socialist battles. and of course, funding issues. florida 99 problems with a democrat will mean one of their better hurt. and i mean, that's crazy. when you look at the issues that we're seeing in michigan and florida, i think both of these cases or indictments of both parties are certain agree because you see the you know what's happening in florida because just can't seem to get a win because they like you said we don't know our message and we don't know what to do and then in mississippi to waste $3000000.00. and it is,

as i talk to you about this before though i'm from chicago, i grew up in mississippi in florida. mississippi is a state that is consistently the butt of all the rest of the state jokes because they rank poorly in health care outcomes in education. there isn't a marker of success that mississippi has done well. so we talk about the dollars for the poorest state in the union. we're going to throw it at patriotic education, which is something, as you probably can recall, came up during it against b.l. . and he didn't want you to black lives matter. he didn't want to have a conversation, it's about racial equity in classrooms. so his pushback was, let's talk about patriotic education. let's remove things that have to do a black people, even though schools talk very little about, you know, the plight of african-americans or the civil rights movement, or our time from slavery to now in their classrooms. any way the majority of schools have whitewashed education. now, the governor of mississippi wants to replace an already incredibly, you wore a blue education system with what he calls patriotic education. what they need to

focus on is actually math science, reading skills, you know, the regular education curriculum. and you know, if you have $3000000.00 to spend mississippi don't care what it's going to go to a measure of the thing is you can't read the propaganda. if you read, if you're going to change, or like at least teach kids how to read 1st, and that's when the and that tragically is one of the big problems. you see a lot of schools across the mississippi is just the basic level. like you said, mass science reading, focus on the who cares about what the core bunda mentals they don't have yet. this is red meat for a conservative base, which this is the irony here is ridiculous because mississippi is a solidly red state. it has no means or motive of turning blue. there is nothing that can be done and i'm sorry, you know, the democrats have to live there. there's nothing that can be done to quake that it went so hard. trump, but actually every single republican since reconstruction. it is very interesting that this is where they want to go. it's interesting. here's the other thing to

know. let's look at florida because you have to bring the port of florida is interesting because look, big passed a $15.00 minimum wage there. that's a very left on with the leftist is under the terminology, leftist progressive kind of thing, but yet the whole state got behind that. so why aren't they getting behind democrats? so it's an interesting question you ask and i think that to flow back to a previous conversation we've had florida is a state that is very much a worker state. and at the end of the day, we have so many people who are blue collar workers who have a lot of people who work in who work in the hospitality industry, people who work in the tourism industry. these are individuals who want to see more in their wages. that doesn't necessarily mean that they're the same folks who stand in whole banners under the socialist montra. i think that what the democrats can learn from this is that don't run away from things that people actually want to see happen. if you think that they are democratic socialist who also agree that the minimum wage or living wage is a good thing. that's cool, but people outside of that want to see it happen as well. you know, i think that's the problem is that the democrats right now are so afraid they're having such an identity. crisis of being so afraid to be labeled as social you're

part of the party is like all over socialism is so terrible, then the other party is like, no, no, we love this. and the problem is i think that they have lost a lot. this election showed us, at least they lost a lot of the blue collar base that they both know that that's absolutely true. and i think the other big story about floor that democrats are focusing on is you, as you can recall, former d.n.c. chair, debbie wasserman. she's a floridian. i'm still a representative there. it becomes very hard for democrats to figure out what happened in florida when the diverse counties, miami dade didn't show up when you have the latino population, which they claim to invest in for the past few years showed up in large numbers for donald trump in the largest number of any state in the country florida did in terms of its latino voters. what can you do? i think the problem at the end of the day for me is i think, i think there's too many democrats who are trying to utilize the old ninety's era ideology of, well, we've got to go more, right. if we go more right and become republican lite or you know, pro-choice republicans and then suddenly miraculously will get those republican vote. it's not about giving republican votes,

it's about getting blue collar and worker votes and blue collar worker votes respond to things like 15 dollars in which they respond to things like universal health care. not because they're socialist ideas, but because we need those ideas that could have saved us from the situation we're in the country. absolutely wrecked. that's why we're seeing them link up with, f.b.i. you know, which is something that nobody would have ever expected. but that $15.00 minimum wage matters good point. all right. 2 as we go to break, remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand for the brand new, portable t.v. which is available on all platforms. definitely pick it up, coming up america's lawyer. yes, the one and only mike pesca, tonio joins us to discuss and intrigue, who wasin coming out of florida against one of the world's biggest multinational construction companies, do not want to miss this conversation. so stay tuned for watching

as interesting. ministration comes when then all those who dreamed up in executing the russia gate hoax ever be held accountable when the media ever be held accountable for the role they played and should be now assume the deep state is truly above the law. is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation community? are you going the right way or are you being direct? what is true?

what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths or a maybe in the shallows. it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime, but old wounds still haven't healed in the times when infamous. because so many from, you know, make own feet. i'm a good the bottom, i suppose. you mean on the bus at the source mean they were a bit anxious and they seem caught in which we know of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption. i don't know late for that and i don't roll over the feel of a mentor to this day. mothers still search for grown children. adults looking for their parents

or yours will pull you out of the mouth and say what about and i didn't do it will always be the good. is it off the shelf home on a couch and keep it or don't or don't let it be. come up with a good thing about the how i live and i'm mad at them and them in the meantime because i'm not bad as it were. but only that if i say i love them, they're going to like about it and it is about

infrastructure and construction projects keep america going. but the companies that make it possible rarely make headlines. but that all recently changed. a construction industry giant that is making waves were all the wrong reasons. $23.00 scots, the construction barges carrying crane beans and other equipment broke free during hurricane sally. this cause major devastation across the scandia and santa rosa counties. and while thankfully, no injuries were reported. the barges cause damage leaving the pensacola bay bridge out of service for 6 months. locals are holding sconce go countable because they are upset that the company hasn't been open about their world in the disaster, nor have they done much to remedy the affected parties. this is notable because god

makes big money in the u.s. $2700000000.00 in commercial and multifamily projects. the company built structures like the world trade center, met life stadium where the new york giants and jets play, as well as several airports, hospitals, and other structures. let's go, let's go also has a long history of problematic mistakes and some are deadly. the company has been charged with fraudulent labor practices, bribery least, bribery scandals, and black contractors filed racially motivated harassment claims against them. in florida, local businesses, what's got to pay up revenue losses resulted from the bridge outing. and claims of scott's going to not following hurricane protocol have erupted here for more on this developing story as might happen. tonio, host of america's lawyer. welcome, mike. thank you. yeah, i think you, you know, as i listened to you all open the program, i thought it was interesting. the story was about the pentagon was so interesting because it, it's, it's kind of a macro of what we're talking about. you're in

a more of a micro story, and that is accountability, who's, who is watching the people who are making decisions about things like the pentagon and with america's lawyer. we've been trying to analyze what's, what's happening with the new infrastructure build out. ok, we, we have, we have a lot of infrastructure build out taking place all over the country in various places. but what we're not doing is we're not really looking we, it's almost like we've abandoned our responsibility to say, let me show up. at the hearing that we're going to have with a company. what scotland's, who are, they says, where they say we're the people that are going to improve your infrastructure? we're going to build a 400000000 dollar bridge, and you can count on us. and what we, what we've, we've analyzed this ad nauseum. we think we've taken a look at, you know, mass protests taking place in the streets. individuals going to state the state on big national issues. but we've forgotten about what's happening in our backyard.

this, this, this act of forgetting what's happening. our backyard probably will cost this, this community, billions of economic loss. and as you pointed out, this was a company, it's a foreign company that shows up in pensacola. they make a presentation to city council that are half asleep on what's going on in state. you know, state legislators who are completely out of the ball game politicians who care about how much money they can give me the media, barely paying attention to it. and we don't show up the people who live here don't show up at that meeting. and had they done that, they would have found out that this is a company that's paid 20 $1000000.00 fines accused of bribery in argentina. critical to the fact that they almost can't leave business in south america because of their criminal conduct, cited for using subs. sub standard quality equipment subs, subs the standard. 'd materials, but here's my point. the point is we have to worry about those bigger stories we

have. there are things we have to show up in the streets about what we have to get back to the days when we're showing up at those hearings. and we're talking about a company that has $170000000000.00, global revenue, who has now left us in a position in this community. and i can take this story and i can superimpose it all over the country, whether it's building roads, whether it's building bridges, building infrastructure, where the people living in that community have abdicated their responsibility to show up and ask questions. why it's so bad that what we've done it with our, with our firm is we're committing ourselves to following scans, go wherever they go in the country, wherever they make a presentation. we're going to be there with the scans, his story, the outrageous quality of negligence that took place there and their absolute denial of any responsibility. so we're going to show up with those stories. but i

think we have to go back to the days where maybe, you know, it was a generation that only showed up for the year. and you know, if there was, if there's a public hearing about a building, a new park, if there's a public hearing about building a new road, people were there. and it's almost like there's a generational disconnect where we're not showing up. mike, i want to ask you, how often do you see these big super conglomerate multinational companies like cisco and building our infrastructure in our backyard here in this country? because to me that seems like a job that the government should be doing itself and providing those jobs. not outsourcing at the some company from what sweden or scandinavia. yeah, you hit it on the head, real evidence that you have stolen my talking started there is, there is no you hit it on the head. there was a time when we had governments. 1 that did this, we didn't go to sweden or germany or china or japan to build our infrastructure force. you remember, i mean, where you can still see it in your, in your, in your head jansha,

the building of the skyscrapers that took place at the turn of the 19th century. you know that you have those leisure was when it was an american, it was american undertaking. and then we got into this idea where we can stand our business to companies like stance. go rather than holding a local company responsible for what we're doing. we've become so globalized that it's become a point that we have forgotten our responsibility to show up at hearings in stopping this thing. that no matter, no matter whether i win this case or not, there will be no way to correct the damage has been done to hundreds of businesses, 2nd, 3rd generation businesses. you remember i handled the b.p. case, it was the same kind of problem. and there, there, that was a different now says here we've invited them into our house. they've taken advantage of us and now they're going to go back to sweden and do it to somebody else unless we change the way we think about how we do business in the u.s. in this infrastructure. this infrastructure to this is just

a really sad situation like anna and i told the closer i live in pensacola and pay for both the campaign and santa rosa county respectively. so i know the importance of that, of that bridge to those businesses. but this isn't the 1st time the construction company had foray into bad press or lawsuits. how were the other allegations handled, you know, 5 deaths in orlando highway project project labor practices racially motivated harassment. there's so much the list goes on and on how they got above those things somehow. how do you think this is going to play out? got about a minute and yeomanry. i've been reading my notes and i do not think of it. the only way it plays the only way plays out is this. we have to perp walk criminals. ok. when people do things wrong, knowingly, we mean gaijin, bribery, whether it's in argentina or anywhere in the country. when they, when we have, we found that they're using substandard quality material to build our bridges or roads. we have to treat them the same way that we would anybody else whose

violations we have to put them in. in a perp walk, we have to say, who made this decision? who knowing that it was going to be our for suitably resulting in the count of disasters that you bring from that kind of business. so you have, we have to treat them like we have to treat them like they are just because they're dressed up in armani suits, doesn't change. and most certainly my, we need a lot more folks like you and thank you for that call action. and for people to get out and pay attention to what's happening in their local neighborhoods in their backyards, because that's how you get a change of government front to back. thank you so much for the good work you're doing. and i always welcome on this show. i was a pleasure having your answer. thank you. i sure appreciate it. love might get his fireman if he's right though people got to get out. he's definitely ready. and i think that that call i was extremely important because there was a time where people were a lot more engaged before business than business practices came in. that might have some type of negative effect. now there are very few people who show up to those meetings, but the stern aeration, these jonesy,

of the millions they're taking to the streets. so we might see if we might see in the future, we are everybody about is our show for you today. remember in this world we are not told we love them up, so i tell you all, i love you, i am tired and i'm on the sick cross. keep on watching all those hawks never great bend. let everybody. it's called a memory cruiser. with the word of the national news,

new york city, but i'm still playing us long and some of these which you'll see in the local, which is the one with your leanings. there's a look at your bullshit to look at lucas, which you or yours will pull you out of the

woods, but the good is it also keep it or don't or don't let you come up to the truth. come on, not about the holonomy of them have the gum and the money on time because i'm not bad with the internet, but oh, november with a deficit. rise of them. they're down to the point about on the number that they are. the only thing is, as it is about to join me everything on the all excitement chill and i'll be speaking to get us out of the world of politics. sports business, i'm show business. i'll see you that this

humans with a gene flow, you know, millions of years to build up an emotional one. when the communication happens within 10 milliseconds in stipends, zoom in the last half destroying that because it takes about 160000000 seconds just flew to get in the same room. you know, this emotional bond between us is very different and it's fine. she will bring this back and look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law. or should be very careful about artificial intelligence and the point only a city is to create trust ever on the shia areas. johnson with artificial intelligence will summon the demon
