culture it's a phrase we've been hearing a lot of lately whether on cable news or on social media it seems people with certain ideas or beliefs are being publicly rejected and silence or in some cases even losing their jobs artie's turn a child is explains. cancell culture has been around for a while but it has intensified in recent times and now in the age of social media it has become a polarizing topic of debate now many are wondering if council culture is killing free speech cancelling means the public ostracisation or silencing of a person or group or organization due to a perceived mistake sometimes this can mean a loss of platform or boycott on a certain product but more recently the phenomenon has led to firings and resignations amid the country's shifting views on race even non-celebrities have become entangled in this evolving web and as social media continues to evolve twitter has become a powerful court of opinion and cancel culture plays a role twitter now taking aggressive actions censoring what content is shared on

the platform on thursday to social media platform permanently suspended the twitter account belonging to james o'keefe on thursday owner project veritas a right wing group that routinely published uncover sting videos after he confronted a facebook vice president about their double standard there's nothing in this week that bodes anyone's privacy i'm simply quoting a facebook vice president about a most public concern probably more of a newsworthy issue than the standard oil monopoly of 100 years ago but i'm going to have to delete this against my own conscience so that i can utilize your twitter account moving forward since the lead in that tweet his account has been reinstated and while twitter declined to say what specific tweets may have triggered the important action the company said that o'keefe personal account had been locked temporarily for violating the same policy instagram which is owned by facebook also barred a long time and have axion activist robert f. kennedy jr for allegedly spreading coronavirus misinformation after questioning the covert $1000.00 vaccine a spokesperson for the company said we removed this account for repeatedly sharing

debunked claims about the corona virus or vaccines however kennedy unequivocal rejects those characterizations of being false or misleading and said in a statement every statement i put on instagram was sourced from a government database from peer reviewed publications and from careful. confirmed news stories none of my posts were false this kind of censorship is counterproductive if our objective is a safe and effective vaccine supply the cultural war raging far beyond social media platforms. you know who starred as the warrior care or doing it in the mantle laurean was fired by production powerhouse lucas films and at the united talent agency for this controversial instagram post that she made showing a woman being chased through the streets the accompanying text said that the nazis fomented public hatred against jews as a part of the holocaust and she asked how is that any different from hating someone for their political views the post which was later deleted sparked outrage and the hash tag fire gina carano fans of the man to laurie and gina carano though are

crying cancel culture in the new change dot org petition that demands disney plus bring her back to the series meantime the new york times also facing scrutiny over how the paper has handled personnel issues and conflicts of sensitivity the outcry by staffers leading to 2 resignations of the mills and 45 year new york times veteran donald mcneil jr other cases are unrelated they both share the fact that the times knew about their specific inappropriate conduct for years but took little to no action the debate over council culture centers around whether mass public criticism furthers the cause of justice or if it represents a misinformed on line witch hunt that poses a threat to free speech and while experts still struggle with a clear cut way to hold people accountable they say that we can start by allowing and not silencing the exchange of ideas and uncomfortable conversations for the greater good reporting in new york trying to teach others r.t. . for more let's bring in was co-host investigative journalist pants on and host of meet the press which airs every friday at 6 30 pm steve malzberg gentlemen thank

you for being with me steve let's get right into this talk about the current council culture thursday disney fired one of the stars of the mantle laurean simply because she who is a conservative talked about these are not to use it for men to hate as a political weapon. yeah i mean that's outrageous i mean she didn't she wasn't saying anything in praise of the nazis there was absolutely no reason to fire her and one of her co-hosts by the way who has liberal views also invoked nazis and hitler in a tweet making a point again not supporting nazis and nothing has happened to him so it's a double standard the left you know it says stop crying stop whining but you know i defy them to show me the list of liberal organizations a liberal personnel liberal people speaking their minds who have been affected by

this cancel culture it's almost a rule of conservatives it does seem that way which is why many are turning obviously to other platforms which we'll get to in a 2nd but then i want to talk about the economic side of this does disney fear any backlash from viewers because of this. no i don't think they do and i don't think any company that is in gauging right now and censorship expects any kind of backlash to it whatsoever look at the reality is that this actress who was in the mental laurean was not only not saying anything in praise of the nazis she was actually historically correct in what she said what she said is that the nazis used hate and hate towards the jews with neighbor to neighbor in order to build up a willingness to eliminate entire population of people she didn't say that is happening here she said there is hate be informants in this country for people who have a different worldview that is absolutely true right now across the country there are people who are beginning to believe that you should hate someone because they

believe differently than you do or they say things differently than you do and so what we're doing is we're only reinforcing that by getting rid of anyone who says something different and by the way it's not just conservatives it's happening to it's anyone who does not fall into the worldview of these these technocrats and very small kind of neo liberal order that is running the country right now we need robert f. kennedy jr i don't think anyone would really call him a conservative but still been deleted because he has a different world view that what bill gates the divide is just getting even bigger unfortunately and there's no room even for discussion open discussion anymore which is it's terrible that steve are saying more and more likely said conservative versions like you said social media rising there's gad there's telegram there's me we can these platforms really become serious competitors. well you know i i was a member of parlor and i really enjoyed the platform and of course we have seen what's happened to parlor and i don't know if there are good ever come back i hope

they do but it's very hard at and it is it's proving to you know the evidence is showing it's very hard to establish a platform and make it work in and not be at the mercy of some left wing you know internet provider who's going to pull the switch on you or lay down all kinds of conditions i mean you know there's gab there's me we as you said there's a whole bunch of them i haven't yet picked one of them a lot of people say you know go on this one go on that one but there's always the threat that they're all police and to an extent they guess you got it but you should only police against you know open calls for violence a 2nd taishan of of children but when it comes so different points of views like educating people on vaccines or bringing up questions about the virus or whatever that's just insane and will never recover from that if that's allowed to continue and it's hard when i when much like ben said you don't fit into their box of

thinking and then they mediately will welsh on you and take you have the platforms but then social media companies seem to be engaging and a balancing act here they're trying to deal with misinformation on their sites while also keeping lawmakers happy or even take violence down much like like steve said isn't there some sort of responsibility on these companies to protect the public as well. no there isn't the their job is not to protect the public and certainly not from the things that they say they're protecting them from protecting the public from project veritas who is basically their entire mission in life is to expose corruption especially in tech companies that are protecting anyone from that but what is really happening here is it's a few technocrats at the top of society people like bill gates or mark zuckerberg or jack dorsey who are ordering society according to what they wanted to look like people like jeff bezos who say this is what i want society to look like they have their point the levers of media they're pulling in the big tech they're pulling it up hollywood they're pulling it out of academia they have all these levers as a society being pulled and the fact is when you have

a company like parlor that comes along in a free market parlor could compete but not win every side of the tech space works against them i guarantee you there will be competitors and it will come through blocking yeah i think of i think eventually there will be whisking him to do it censorship and just all these sites well that's been fun steve malzberg host of meet the press airs every friday at 6 30 pm thank you both so much for your time today. thank you. time now for a quick break but when we come back many americans and their businesses are in desperate need of aid amid a pandemic but many columnists are asking the biden destruction to watch out for the phrase inflation arche for sanchez is standing by for our conversation as we go to break here the numbers that the club.

will go to a 3 headed vigilante coming our way the end of the bond vigilantes are coming back their strength drug dealers shorting bonds now it means that he is going to try to force bond collapse like we saw 9093 so the bond vigilantes back he's talking about gold then so are others just a golden jewel mts and the big one vigilantes i've been here since 22009. they're growing exponentially now in the price of course as it goes under a trillion in this year 2021 it'll be worth more than 4 trial so those are the 3 headed vigilantes that are now coming for the dollar the dollar is just sitting

ducks. knowing. that in the. blog. blog google. and yahoo. that in a can matter a canard wa. s. and a bad national. shall not deny. not just us but those on miles on a pole on a limb. and the national. association. must know how to set the community. that all small but so what it. means cannot give the impetus that all of you in the

most minute hope you get a feel good. shot and know it when i might. be my name you had that. in the 1920 s. and thirty's several 100 african americans moved to the soviet union and many of their descendants still live in russia. again at the most because they know no rush but us the up most of us have got ways to cool things on their way. back home but i can merican suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. of the real lybia losing one by elsa store on the by doing. so they decided to leave everything behind and

start a new life in a country about which they knew almost nothing at all some of the. earlier through during the night. around the crowd. to. the if you will go on to cold flu you. know almost a 100 years later the history is repeating itself my. great grandfather george time winter russia. probably the worst time to go anywhere why not mean. it when i come here. the congressional budget office projects the federal budget deficit is projected to total $2.00 trillion dollars this is for the 2021 fiscal year of course that's 25

percent larger than expected this is the 2nd time the biggest deficit recorded since world war 2 and it doesn't account for the 1 point one trillion stimulus bill the federal government already outspent its projected g.d.p. output for 2021 so for more on this on the state of the u.s. we welcome back artie's host of the news that rick sanchez rick sanchez himself right good to see you let's start with the projected deficit for 2021 it's expected to reach the 2.3 trillion that's not accounting for that 1 point one trillion stimulus larry summers former treasury secretary under bill clinton he said that debt levels and stimulus spending could cause an overheated economy with severe inflation how big is this concern. that's guy he's right i mean how could it not i mean you know we've always said that at some point you're going to have to pay the piper i mean if it's a $2.00 and it's going to be and then you can almost add another 1.9 to it it does make you ask the question as to why it is that unlike some other governments in the

world we here in our great united states of america are constantly trying to outdo each other it's almost like obama increased the deficit and the debt and then trump came in and he was like a drunken sailor he was increasing the deficit and the debt by the way before covert 19 ran up and he was making money super cheap to borrow by lowering interest rates and now biden comes into office and this president seems to be doing the same thing it's almost like if heaven forbid biden passed away tomorrow and president haris took over she would say ok now i need to put my stamp on another 1.9 trillion or or whatever the future number might be and all this helicopter money and the fact that in so cheap to borrow and the fact that the dollar is being devalued those things eventually will accumulate and they will

cause inflation if not stand so say a lot of people who know a lot more about this than i do but a lot of supporters then argue that the next emulous bill are not spending the 1 point one trillion poses even more risks than spending the money and facing issues with inflation what do you think of that assessment. listen i i think i'm not against when there is a situation in any economy that requires some kind of intervention i think the intervention as long as it's not drunk intervention that people are thinking through what are we doing let's go on the conservative side if we have to increase it later we can increase it but this this new strategy that we seem to be employing that let's all fight with each other to see who can come up with the biggest number i agree with republicans on this

argument that they've been making that many of mr trump's stimulus it is should is have still not matured the money that he actually put into the market has not even reached many of the people who were supposed to get it and we're already starting another cycle to give them more money i mean just common sense terms would you run your household that way no probably no no we you and i have talked about this time and time again about the wealth divide here in the united states the pandemic has obviously exacerbated the differences i want to read to you the world's top 15 hedge fund managers they collectively made $23200000000.00 in 2020 now to put this into perspective the top manager alone made more than what was it made more than in the past year than the g.d.p. of dozens of countries come when i reported to 23200000000 rick.

it's unbelievable to think there's something foul and i mean really fall in the system when you have an economic crisis you have originally 22000000 people out of work right 22000000 people lose their jobs apparently 12000000 of got their jobs back some of them not in the same shape that they were in before i mean 10000000 people are still unemployed in the united states and yet during this time the richest people in the united states have doubled their income and gotten in some cases 3 times richer than they ever were before so that makes us that have to ask the question about whether this stimulus that i was just talking about which is causing the debt the deficit etc etc is helping the wrong people and how is that money going into the pocket of these guys like the one that you just described i

think is name as you know else to know how the 3rd or so. who just continue to get more and more rich because apparently we've created a system where it's so cheap to borrow 'd that if you have a lot of money you could borrow more and then you increase your share of the pie and there's a guy who doesn't have anything is waiting for the government to send them i don't know what $6800.00 like that's going to really change his life and it just it doesn't seem like the antenna doesn't add up rick i want to i want to ask you quickly about stocks this is a future of companies going public we're seeing a record of facts now coming going public. yeah. again this fact that you know special purpose acquisition company which are basically tain company taking companies public which maybe shouldn't be taken public just yet especially some of them that are ideas and not actually companies with employees and who that have a p. and l.

i mean it's looking like right now most of them are not doing so well and one wonders if this to make cause a problem down the line with the economy i think we're ok through the summer maybe into the fall and then i think we're going to look at this thing and go boy where are we and so either way before i go sara how what you what your due date how close are you 2 weeks about 2 weeks back i mean 20. so is this your last news is this your last year at all for miley yes. you're going to be a great mom ira proud of you are to his house. and says thank you so much for your time today we'll see you soon hopefully. that's it for this time i'll see you next time.

from me was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to school which side will have the strongest appeal. a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells their bodies on the street many of them under-age. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge no if you're going to exploit for a child here in los angeles they were going to come as you would see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight the 6 trades. in the 1920 s. and thirty's several 100 african-americans moved to the soviet union and many of their descendants still live in russia. or going at the coast because you know no rush for us though up our stuff yes we've got troops for war took on things on your

way. back home black american suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. is that the real. one by elsa store on her by doing. so they decided to leave everything behind and start a new life in a country about which they knew almost nothing at all some of the arab career groups who are looking through during the night. around great crowd. who more lay a golf you you're going to call firm. and now almost a 100 years later the history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time went to russia. probable worst time to go anywhere why not me. why don't i come here.
