multiply like the digits in a jeff bezos offshore bank account and boy have my friends do those bits multiplied things to our real world problems this week as the world economic oligarchs kicked off the world economic forum in davos the green greed addicks version of coachella the global charity organization oxfam international crunched the last year's numbers and reports that quote the world's 10 richest men have seen their combined wealth increase by half a trillion dollars since the pandemic began that is more than enough to pay for a cope with 19 vaccination for everyone and to ensure no one is pushed into poverty by the pandemic i want to make sure that you understand that let that sink in 10 people just 10 people out of the 7000000000 who inhabit this small blue planet could solve a world full of economic pandemic problems using only the wealth that they are earned and gained in the last 365 days of the year and tragically we know you

won't find that note in their daily planners see while not physically meeting in davos the world economic forum is meeting virtually from january 25th to the 29th under the public relations theme of a crucial year to rebuild trust. trust they they want us to trust them again soon as oxfam's executive director told the media we stand to witness the greatest rise in inequality since records began the deep divide between the rich and the poor is proving as deadly as the virus extreme any quality is not inevitable but a policy choice yes my friends we are the victims of their choices and now now they want us to trust them again. as the apostle paul once wrote all wrongdoing can be traced to an excess of attachment to material

wealth so let's drop our attachments to their material addiction and rebuild trust in ourselves. as we start watching the homes. on a city street you want to see. there so you. see this is joyce state. graves see this least systemic deception is so which. brings up the old. world we're going to watch in the. gutter and i'm a. boy oh boy i mean should this is this is nasty when you see numbers like this commit i mean we've seen these numbers kind of slowly trickling out over the last year of how much money the upper crust of the world made while the rest of us suffered in this pandemic but when you break down the number that's just 10 people

in this world of 7000000000 the wealth that they made in one year alone last year could actually pay for you know a vaccination for everyone that's that staggering now i mean it just goes to show us in real terms how grossly you know this amount of money they've made it is especially when the world is in crisis when we're at the backdrop of this pandemic that it's called economic upheaval all over the globe that there are. too i guess to hand people who have made a killing really off of the backs of a lot of people who are you know unemployed right now off of people who couldn't do any better and many of them are also part of industries where their folks weren't given industries that have you know pushed back heavily against not being able to unionize another thing so this is really that the pandemic is actually. regarding economics if you look at the end of the day money makes the. world go round so we got to talk about it but it's ushered in the worst job crisis in over 90 years with

hundreds of millions of people now underemployed or out of work and it's interesting because when you look at the analysis recent analysis by the institute for policy studies and the americans for tax fairness america $660000000000.00 billionaires have seen their combined force and sort of $4.00 trillion dollars that's an increase of 40 percent since the pandemic started they also know that these 2 groups the i.p.s. me a.t.f. noted that the pandemic profits from america billions could fund a stimulus check of more than $3400.00 for every one of the roughly 331000000 people living in the united states today he i mean again these numbers are crazy you see people you know begging to get 1200 dollars and that being a one time payment and we see these guys who are good making billions and the question remains one when is america going to get back to work but also why do we continue to allow this crazy wealth gap that increases even in times that are

extremely harsh for people around the globe i tell you know why is because i feel like we don't want to believe that there's something fundamentally wrong with the capitalism that this country is based on you know and i think we like to kind of delude ourselves and think well they're over here and they got lucky they worked hard and they earned it and all that kind of thing and why should we take away from them. if they didn't work hard and they are and they worked hard at stealing the money from everyone else below them and in a century practicing socialism for the corporations and then capitalism for all the rest of us that's how they got all this money and we have to have to think about the people who actually work for them in the factories the people who make their industries work while our people who are barely getting minimum wage and in most cases aren't even counted it full time employees they're doing contract work and they're not getting health care or anything else so all in all the backs of their billions are built off of people who now are applying for food things and this is an. problem either this isn't a us problem this is

a global problem because when you look at oxfam's numbers a simple temporary tax one simple temporary tax on excess profits made by just 32 global corporations just 32 that have been the most during during the recent pandemic that could raise $104000000000.00 in just the last year just a little bit a tax of $32.00 companies c4b1c4b could essentially provide unemployment benefits for the world's workers if foot in the right places financial support for children and elderly and people of low income and middle income countries around the world do you think that this is actually going to help us to finally realize that this isn't some great american work that makes these people billionaires they are not you know doing more than anybody else they're not more entrepreneurial how do we get to it and will it ever happen where we actually just limit the amount they can make that's what we need you need it's not about a minimum wage i think you need a maximum wage and my dad also agrees with me on this my father just we need to start talking about a maximum wage a cap on what one person can make in

a given year because honestly anything above 12 the i don't know $16000000.00 what what more do you need for that 2nd i'll never get the government neither will i. where there's smoke there's fire in proceed b.s. the fire burns wild after falling under a microscope of scrutiny after former c.b.s. chairman liz moon's was fired in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations the network sought to turn the page they double down on emphasizing their commitment to protecting women in the workplace they spread while we messages about diversity of people of color higher than corporate offices but it seems everything that glitters isn't gold and c.b.s. once again has to come to grips with allegations of racism sexism and a toxic work environment in fact this week to c.b.s. local television executives were placed on administrative leave within hours of the national association of black journalists demanding their fire me. this came on the

heels of a bombshell l.a. times investigation into the allegations that uncovers the depths of how c.b.s. cultivated a hostile work environment the story accused c.b.s. television president peter dunne of making racist sexist homophobic and discriminatory comments his colleague and the senior vice president of news for t.v. station david friend joined done and being placed on leave pending the results of a 3rd party investigation into the issues raised in the l a times report and the issue will make your head spin 2 former employees in management positions at c.b.s. philadelphia said dunn used the words to describe a black anchor and journalist in another allegation he directly attacked a black female anchor saying i hate her in addition to making fun of her accent and look dunn was also accused of saying a job applicant was too gay for philadelphia. donna singled out for his efforts to block the recruitment and hiring of black journalists at various stations in a b j posted this on their website it is clear that there is

a massive problem among c.b.s. owned and operated stations and in order for the company's culture to be transformed it must begin with the firing of dunn and friend. the big question is how was this level of workplace violation able to go on for so long that is the big question but you know i tell you this working in hollywood for many years before i took this job and worked in the. news and entertainment world you know. it's because it's entrenched into the system i mean look let's move about because of these issues will the top dog will be met i mean if you boot him out you've got to expect everybody underneath those folks you're going to hire similar and like minded people bingo and i think that's my frustration when delving into the research of this story because it seems like c.b.s. put all of the honor its own lives move and then acted as though they had basically gotten rid of that bad apple and know nothing else existed even though they had several allegations of people beneath legs move as well of those who were at the

executive level and no one paid attention i mean these are serious allegations we're talking racism with strokes that were used pre civil rights movement we're talking sexism we're talking people who literally were hired because 8 because they were believed to be gay we're talking you know and i told you b.p. hiring practices across the board and particularly there's a spotlight on philadelphia because philadelphia is one of the largest affiliates of them largest news news affiliate in the country the 4 largest market and it's one of the most diverse cities in america so to have a newscast that doesn't reflect that is problematic for many reasons but we also have a guy who went out of his way to say that if you were black on air that you were basically shucking and jiving like he made fun of black people and he refused to hire when he was when he did hire them he would basically let them go with a. in 3 days or so we watched that happen over time and these people have always raised raise reports and allegations and many times the whistleblowers were actually fired them so nothing happened to him and we're seeing this play out in

all avenues i like it's interesting because to me was when you look. at the kind of the purging of the society of old threw me too and all these other things that kind of come forward you hit the nail on the head when it's like there were so many people said ok well we got rid of harvey we got rid of this c.e.o. we got rid of matt lauer we got rid of this person well now we're good. unless you hold people truly accountable it will continue to fester regardless of how many big names you fire because there's a whole lot of other people that worked underneath them and around them that had the household names that are just as guilty and c.b.s. clearly has a entrenched problem with this they do but i would argue that you know i hope that this shines a light on media organizations in general big and small because as a minority i personally have you know experience these micro aggressions from leadership when it comes to being a black talent multiple places but also 8 a punishment when you actually report what's going on and so i think that the

problem here is that these organizations will do it and get away with it for as long as possible because they like to silence the people who are actually making the claims against them i give full credit to the individuals who step forward and the fact that the l.a. times actually ran the story because without it i feel like it would have been swept under the rug like so many stories have when people of color as well as people of varying sexual orientation make claims that are legitimate and the reason that swept under the rug is because all these organizations like you said big or small the do this kind of action that instead of listening to the person's complaint or taking what they're saying seriously they all worry about what we don't want to look like that to the outside we're good we care about everyone but we don't want to actually deal with any of the problems rotting at the core of the business so that's why it gets kind of swept under the rug even to this day which is mind boggling in today's day and age mind boggling and it larry as we just. walked out of you know when the biggest uprisings in american history with all the protests last year and what we got from c.b.s. and other media affiliates was shining language about their commitment to black

lives matter meanwhile you're not hiring them and you're putting them on the back burner when they are making allegations against very entrenched racist behavior that's all corporations do it will throw money at the problem rather than solve the problem all right everybody as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand through the brand new portable portable t.v. app which is available on all platforms you have no excuse definitely download it and check it out all right coming up we examine how the cope with backseat roll out well off and roll right off the tracks or do this with the always some social dr bob arnot state to watch in the. secret prisons and usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived we've been busy road zone there were 2

view houses when our. prison was located and the only people had access to the story investigators l.z. uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. for. thanks for justice. that the bill really kiss near the city really to show you. that without a surprise he. distrust by some but. no no no risk of being a bull episodes didn't get to see you just you sure do you. think the slayer during

your force wake would be near mushed of mystery if not thoughts about spirits i pity you it was more sinister experiment than you know. if de gea cruel should. show. for you to. sort of move. the story q. list so they will bow out is. one of the child's seemed wrong. why don't we all just don't call. him you call yet to say proud distinction become educated and indecent equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground.

industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells abilities on the streets many of them under-age. police reveal a taste of their daily challenge you know if you're going to exploit a child here in los angeles we're going to come as you see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight 6 trades. it's no secret that former president donald trump bungled plans for covert 90 leaving the incoming bided administration with a mess to clean up u.s. go because those are growing by the hour there are issues with the supply of the vaccine and with the emerging variance of code in the u.k. and africa anyone turn to normalcy seems pretty farfetched the anti backs and mass

crowd isn't making things any easier one of the residual effects of presidency is far too many americans fighting against wearing masks but the by the administration has made masking a top priority biden calls wearing mask a patriotic act he find an executive order last week asking americans to wear masks and requiring them on federal property but until in 95 masks are available to everyone the latest recommendation is double masking not worry one but 2 mask president biden's 5 point plan to speed up vaccine distribution is gaining traction not only because of prioritizing getting the vaccine into the arms of millions of americans but also because it places an emphasis on community health centers. right now limited vaccine supply is a primary issue but once it's released the next issue is tackling vaccine hesitancy head on i'm not talking anti baxter's but particularly those people in under-served black and brown communities that suffer from distrust fear of the illness and

literacy barriers and this is a huge problem according to a university of michigan poll only 40 percent of older black adults and 51 percent of hispanics said they were likely to get the vaccine compared with over 63 percent of white people this plays out in early vaccine dissemination to whites have received the vaccine at up to 6 times the rates of people of color. distribution is so and even that dallas county texas plan to prioritize vaccinating communities of color only to be met by the state threatening to slash the county's vaccine supply entirely. new york city once the epicenter of the virus was eclipsed by los angeles where everything that could go wrong did joining us now with more is infectious disease expert dr bob arnot welcome. thanks to measure great or well it's always exciting to have you back i want to get you to tell us a little bit more about the new mass recommendations and why l.a. is now the epicenter of the crisis in america it's so bad that thousands have

signed a petition to recall governor gavin newsom at this point. so you're saying it's just. that people are missing in terms of. what is the view is proper mask but you know there are no of these and 95. 100. plus it's like so easy not to do but you know the so just asked about it oh is that your story or marc rich ringback. you know words and they want to go. you know stay home and isolate for your act. now as we talked about before it's all about money. your c o 2 level c o 2 is the best overall indicator of whether you have enough circular any air to be able to prevent this now airborne viruses sitting in lingering there so it's literally is if you have these people in this walking you reverting going tens of

thousands of day without smoke detectors so i think that's the main problem there you know and i love what you said about you know that when you look at black and brown people terrible that they have the priority for this back see when i've looked at the overall vaccine strategy here there is a strategy in our tactics were maybe not strategically you say you know the code so that 60 percent of people in fact get the vaccine exactly to help us that much in terms of money at a from up only 10 percent no effect if you're so strategically you might reallocate different places and i think tactically it's terribly important look at those people who laugh and die lose many years of productive life by not pay the back state and that's going to be you know black hispanic communities frontline workers diabetes obesity high blood pressure you know the overwhelming majority over blacks now have my blood pressure and that puts them in tremendous risk so we ought to be

saying you know what most lives are going to say how many years are we to say for the proper tactical use these vaccines instead of the chappies you see you are kind to say that the truck i've seen a whole lot of it is father. did doctor with the do co would strain is now the word we're seeing these new variants emerging in the u.k. and more importantly what seems to be a stronger variant in south africa do you believe the bided ministrations new travel regulations will reduce the spread of that here or is a kind of way too late to go into too late into after the back and then how effective is do we know yet if at all is the madonna or the file. iraq seems now johnson and johnson has another one coming down the pipe against these more dangerous variants like the ones we're seeing coming out of south africa. so for us a great question you only have to go back to you know when they shut off the air traffic from china you remember back in the spring there they left

a campaign if she had seen him in europe let's roll a case that came in from so it's kind of the bag we were 8 cases coming from brazil so i had to put the kettle back he has a great question about you know what about this that the virus he's very maxie to be clear let's say that this is the receptor in your body it's going to a sewer scepter that the code viruses are attacked i would say this is the tactic this attachment here toast spock looks a little like a spike that he goes in there are lots of it in fact so dear to him and the fires have actually both are they make spikes artificial spikes put the are in a your body your body makes these spikes your body seasons as oh i recognize that i'm going to attack it now what's so fascinating about it is that they call these are he maurice was the king of errors because every couple weeks they make a mistake there's a little mutational piece that david stripped most of the time it's not since it doesn't do anything but now unfortunately it means that one there are more classes

on this spike that your immune system may now not recognize and that's why i would care now is making a boost from human you know booster back seat so is your effective sure's going to be subjective as they thought it would be no it's probably not be that should we worry about it absolutely because it's not he warns that political lines onto your cell there it's whole actually display there for a longer period of time it's much more likely to affect you so just as we thought it was on the left the end of the tunnel it's like there's a a turd to tell him that light is aging and that there aren't the importance of community health in earth i believe can be underscored i was actually. working in them during the rollout of the affordable care act during the obama administration those community health centers are often staffed by members of the community who resemble the community who speak the language who live down the street they have more staff that are people of color and are known for providing wraparound services

for family think communities that are in need in what ways can you thinners be used to combat that thing the earth and increase trust. built by a wonderful work you have to worry about that about your time at the white house. press room. so this community has at least as you point out we have one right here right where and and you know they know the individual patients and i hope the local schools are. measuring up to looking at accident status looking to test your options and we're always talking about who those people are most at risk and that's the course that unity house and best who are actually meeting you know who is a collar may have some had a terrible disease who is recovering from cancer who may have some auto immune disease was a child be there really deserves not to have that actually has we really have to look at this not in a population wide basis we have to look at it as look at we're doctors and nurses community health workers how do we save lives here i worked for years in many different parts of africa and it's a community health center this is the heart of it i mean they care for these people

bleed and cry for these people you know such it is such a joy to watch this and i think you're right the solution is they need to roll it out because they know actually which lies most need to be saved or most of us. you know it's interesting to michoud you mentioned dallas county tried to lead with an equity lem's and prioritizing the vaccination of people of color and the instead the state came in and flipped the idea it's had doctor what can local governments do to make sure that the most vulnerable populations are getting the vaccine and there isn't such a vast divide a move among you know white folks getting the vaccine in people of color when it comes to assessing who needs what when and where and how in the most. well you know we see scout leaders the ships of these. texas arizona florida course through the opening up so he 'd up like crazy there with you know 101520000 excess as we don't expect any better leadership now but nonetheless the leadership should come to the top tier of. our coverage of a guy he was offered

a back seat as opposed to grandstanding like these other volunteers has said i am going to take my place in line i don't want any special place i taken that stance you know i'm not going to go and try and jump the place a lot of the watts of people who were serving so i think it's going to stop start at the top and it doesn't you just have to look at how effective this tamara city was when it was also a promise you can be highly effective at the local level you know you need to yell and scream and get on your show and tell people lead with stories so they realize how disadvantaged people and you know it's not just that you know poor communities you know may have more interim diseases are on the front row and are a force of more than disease but we never taken the initiative it terms of having a proper housing for so their gender in this stuff scared as a much more what is the wires are all terrible tragic it's amazing how much covert has really uncovered so much in this country that many people were warning us about

for a long time with our housing and with our issues with cafferty dr bob i want to thank you so much for coming on you're always a pleasure i would i'm certain you know. all right everybody about is our show for you today remember in this world we are definitely not told we are loved enough so i tell you all i love you i am tyrone interruption i don't need to crop keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and like a. that was when i learned how to not there and. not know that that i'm not out of the i'm

not of the money that they'll let me. guess was a good time to. try to move there i'm doubt now mom. no not that old yeah probably not why not. why x. channing and they'll all people we believe this will be here. a lot of my kids i don't want them up with johnny but i already know the moment i thought of mother having a little like you said i was a little i'm a little like a mad little let's put out the pink i don't want to put out a lot more study when i don't know the mother bloody. secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived within the 0 zone there were 2

view houses were allowed to leave prison was located and only cia people had access to the story for investigators she held the uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. you grated nor in. hockey seem a bit of sore knee for. crying for justice on oxy. hadrons

an r.t. for no chance to giving it a shot western countries change their tune on russia the vaccine our 3rd leading medical journal publishes a study about its high efficacy and we hear from the c.e.o. of the fund that backs that you. when you come by see the price of the logistics if you really believe it is the best over to the world and scientists get the ball to greet me while the spider white criticism the european commission president refuses to apologize for the blocks slovaks seem right and in the u.k. police arrest a man dishing out free sink to the vulnerable violating lockdown rules. you're going to see none of this in

a few of the challoner marmite something like something.
