7:31 pm
billionaire entrepreneur kevin o'leary is known for his time as mr wonderful on the hit show shark tank where he shares his love of making money and appreciating a nice glass of wine but like every investor he had to start somewhere all this week on dennis miller plus one o'leary shared how the advice who late mother gave him early on still plays a role in his career today. like yeah what's that lives in switzerland that he's really was was into once when i was a teenager he started teaching about the different varietals burgundies gordo's of the r.c. region the italians you know the cabin a scout all of these different you know i just learned in europe people are. you know kids drink wine water with water when they're 7 years old that's just how they do. and so it's on and so you learn early on and i've learned how to blend in so
7:32 pm
you know i finally when i was very fortunate i started investing in invent years and. the best way to turn yourself into a poor guy is to invest in the wine business because there's 3 tiers of distribution and then along came the was changing about 6 years ago you can ship from your wine in california to 42 states directs and that changed everything for me because the whole shark tank thing i became the wine guy and now i could go online and say look i've selected you know these 12 wines for you that i blooded myself i've won 5 wards of 10 awards because i have and we started selling direct and that business is huge that i ship 150000 cases a year. and fun to and what a perfect staging ground you had parentally so your father stepfather give janine fleming sort of cachet and then your mother i love the advice earlier it's one of
7:33 pm
the truest things you can say to a kid who wants to go through life juggling all these balls trying to figure out which story you told who you tell the truth and you your head hits the pillow and you can sleep your mother was also very smart economic affairs right. yeah she actually. sort of gave me my investment philosophy she used to take 20 percent of her salary when she was in you know her early twenty's and put it into the stock market dividend paying stocks and she had that portfolio a secret portfolio from both of her husbands she was married twice and you can't do that today but she pulled it off in those days in the late fifty's and when she died i got a call from the executor i was the older brother and he said you got to come down here your mother died are really wealthy woman so this portfolio of tel telco bonds and s. and p. stocks for 55 years i always wondered how she had all this money around all the
7:34 pm
time and that's what it was and so i would look at that and said i'm going to do the same thing you stash a little bit away of what you make each each week when i was young i was doing that put in the market average goes of 70 percent a year and just leave it alone magic happens that's how it works. it's no secret that big money plays a significant role in politics and here in the us the mainstream media typically claims that foreign interference is frowned upon but what about when a mysterious whistle billionaire is donating hundreds of millions of dollars to a political party in secret off the bat they don't have much to say at all this week on in question george galloway the walk ins and ed martin discuss the real influence of dark money in u.s. politics and why it isn't being talked about. american machine a the great american narrative machine which is big tech big media and big government rehash the russia there's a judge who says oh my gosh it's still there and i'm over reporting something
7:35 pm
special it said one of the greatest hoax is perpetrated on the american people put it very effectively done meanwhile we find out that this swiss citizen maybe he's american i don't nobody knows spend hundreds of millions of dollars look there's more left and right can come together dark money. politics needs to be given by the shine by the light of day but here's where it's my colleague just said as long as we get rid of trouble i'm not sure right now that we're not in danger of losing this republican what we have the democrats brag to after the last election about fortifying the election with tens of millions of dollars dark money where they went in they changed the rules most of the time it looks like at least that they've made it that it was legal but it wasn't it was dark money it was foreign money it was foreign influence and now we're just getting to the tip of the iceberg the bacolod i from joe biden is that he didn't know anything about all this stuff this is an outrage it should shouldn't his presidency but watch the narrative machine move on
7:36 pm
to the next thing and just kind of roll their eyes and we'll talk about joe biden picking dandelions for his wife it's outrageous well george when you think of the swiss you think neutral right and though mr hines your advice doesn't represent the swiss government he clearly is not neutral and has objectives here in supporting one party in the us over the other do you think there is more than meets the eye here that it's not just a wealthy swiss immigrant donating money to push causes important to him can it be just that. well when i think of switzerland i think of the sweetest of deserves which we call a swiss rule this is one judge gunn ticks worse rule through or through all your a lecture on which was dominated by full solid gay shuns of russian interference terms of the european countries interfering in your politics it just wasn't russia
7:37 pm
full marks on most it to the new york times not my favorite publication this is a cracking piece of investigative journalism and should bring the house down just said but we'll see if it does by the way it is perfectly possible that joe biden didn't know anything about any of this because he doesn't even know he didn't really pick the lions of all things and i want them to your wife are in public. tensions between the u.s. and china continue to rise as the biden ministration carries on the same policies that were championed by former president truck but when biden came into office he was given the gift of a 2 point $2000000000.00 military program specifically aimed at countering china this week on the world according to jesse host of a congressional dish jen briony explain what's really included in this program and if it could lead to more than just
7:38 pm
a trade war between the world's 2 largest economies. in 2 pacific deterrence initiative is a new military build out so a new prepositioning of the united states military west of the international dateline which is basically china's neighborhood and specifically it's going to increase the number of troops we have in that area along with the quitman weapons and fuel and then on top of that the military is going to conduct training exercises to make it easier for other militaries to partner with us in war in that part of the worlds. now what are some of the way to deter in china in the pursuit of it and what are we deterring them from well china is increasing the strength of its own military and has expanded its own presence in the south china sea to the point that they're building brand new islands and putting military bases on top of them and so it takes 2 weeks to move u.s. aircraft carriers from alaska and other u.s. territories into china's neighborhood and so the idea behind this is that by having
7:39 pm
our troops and equipment already there we'd be able to wage war faster if needed and as for what we're doing we're deterring our military commanders told congress that they're most concerned that china's going to use violence to take control over taiwan and then also in reality we're also doing this to protect the shipping lanes used by multinational corporations now what is the ultimate goal here. well big picture china is threatening the dominance of the global systems of laws especially economic laws that the u.s. and our partners have been trying to implement worldwide since the end of world war 2 so our government basically wants china and russia and all countries on earth to follow the rules of the system that the u.s. leaves in particular we want them to adhere to the rules dictated by the world trade organization and its partner organizations now is this just simply a new cold war you know i hesitate to use that term because it conjures up images of nuclear war to describe this because what's happening now is
7:40 pm
a battle of economic systems and so despite the increased military presence on both sides there are areas where the china where the u.s. and the chinese are cooperating so our administration just conducted an apparently friendly meeting about climate change for example with the chinese and so even though i think this military buildup situation deserves our awareness and attention i think what's happening is more of an economic cold war if it can be classified as one at all now or shire though a real threat to the u.s. don't we trade with them and does the direct cause of me truly rely on tribes manufacturer well let me put it this way i'm not losing one second of sleep thinking that china is about to attack my neighborhood because we certainly do trade with china and china as a member of the world trade organization they have been since 2001. immigration reform it's a politically charged topic that is often seen as a partisan issue despite the effect it has on men women and children of all ages
7:41 pm
the by an administration now claims it is working overtime to fix what it calls a totally broken system as it faces scrutiny over its own treatment of migrants seeking asylum this week on watching the hawks attorney allen or explain why the by an administration still has a long way to go. the progress it is promising on immigration what do you do about it the real question is how are you going to fix it and success story for them is that actually there are 82 percent down on immigrants they were holding at the southern border but the problem remains of the high impact of deportations that they're going to black immigrants across the board specifically haitians when haiti has inner turmoil at this time and place so we're looking for that by an administration to sort of step in do exactly what they said they would do just return american to humane system and while today you heard that they've increased the number of refugees back to the original number that he said during the campaign
7:42 pm
america still had 6 less immigrants overall refugees regular green card holders than almost half of the most powerful biggest nations are a nuisance more than us in the world less than switzerland less than australia less than canada so it's time for us to really step into the new generation is starting . to start rebuilding united states. alan what do you feel are some of the reasons why we're seeing growing numbers of migrants at the border and what can mean by diminishing should do to combat or slow the search. so i think the kind of code of surge might not be the best way to perpetrate but i understand that the media the way the media sees it it seems like to be involved but it's always have been this way one of the best ways to do it is exactly what the vice president is doing which is trying to stabilize the region but as we understand it climate change even if united states we're seeing strains whether it's right now in georgia or calling people to lose or to move from where they are as well as shortages as well as work
7:43 pm
shortages so the best solution would be if there were a legal path for these individuals to come in to work and in return then that would be fine because right now what we see is there are a lot of jobs that are going to make it in the holes. in hotel cleaning because americans feel as if that's not the work they want to do. and we need immigrants to sort of come in and build that back labor as well as we can. it's on the top and to do teaching to our students as well as the element that we see happen over again we take companies such as google and apple and sort of pull our infrastructure back in keeping people out of our keeping immigrants out only means you're keeping the global production out of the united states and other things are going to happen in other places like canada. and alan what are some of the administration's plans to advance copperhead comprehensive immigration reform like you just spoke of we heard a few weeks ago that by in place vice president kamel harris at the forefront of curbing immigration and unaccompanied children can a diplomatic anti-poverty and international development lands help border security
7:44 pm
and enforcement. yeah so i think we're looking at it this is always been the game with the republican party to talk about and force them really talking about immigration and if you remove the concept of thinking of someone other as a threat then you really don't have that security or threat because it's really someone who walk a 1000 miles is not really a structures group to the united states or people who are sort of looking for or to reunite their families. well we're back with more of just press play right after this. goes in command of toxic systems designed to keep us confused distracted and off where you are no match for an awakened mind they lie you win the war they lie you
7:45 pm
in poverty they tell you what they think they are watching you are you watching them our watch. artsy america brings you stories of world wide significance news the corporate media refuses to show you from social movements to civil wars to tech breakthroughs to epidemics because our journalists and audience ally dare to question more. our culture is awash in lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that emerged fiction until they are indistinguishable we have become the most diluted society on politics as a species of endless and needless political theater politicians have morphed into
7:46 pm
celebrity are 2 ruling parties are in reality one party to corporate power and those who attempt to puncture this vast breathless universe of fake news just signed to push through the cruelty and exploitation of the media a little more for so far to the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has sold its soul for corporate money we might as well be mice squeaking against an avalanche of sweet we must. welcome back i'm rachel robinson you're watching just press play president biden
7:47 pm
has been widely praised by the media from the day he stepped into office some have even suggested that given all of the reforms biden is proposing he could be the new f.d.r. comparing his plans to the new deal of the 1930 s. but on this week's episode of on contact professor paul street noted that the new deal wasn't simply enacted because of the leader of the time he explains why it took masses of people coming together to fight for change before it was finally achieved a little bit of fun of i can do it as you can find out if he has the sector that's what he said you know to so bend the people's arms in congress because that's how stuff gets done we look back at the thirty's and the new deal and how they happen they happen because it was thunder on the left there was dissent in the streets right before the social security here and the wagner act probably the 2 progressive lynch in measured far from perfect in the excluded much of the minority of black
7:48 pm
population from their coverage incidentally we should not romanticize the new deal but they were breakthrough pieces of legislation for much of the working class population old age pensions and the legalisation of union organizing and collective martin there before those happened there was there was a. gigantic longshoreman strike all across the western coast there was a general strike led by trotsky is teamsters in the twin cities there was a national textile strike there were hunger marches from coast to coast and every major city in this country had a resurgent left. up in the in the twin cities it was often syndicalist i go to w n trotskyist in chicago and detroit it was communist probably the dominant and as it was the communist party lot of issues of the communist party but also a lot of great organized and they were on the ground and they were present and when
7:49 pm
there were issues in a city like chicago and people got a victim because they couldn't pay their rent because it was their jobs and the cops would come in a victim of black women on the south side would say quick go get the reds and people knew where they were and they went and got him and the reds came with loudspeakers and organized mass resistance and this was true all over america and this thunder on the left shows up in the congressional debates. that lead to the passage of a lot of progressive legislation in the mid thirty's if we don't do this then we're going to get a revolution and course there's a soviet union at the time and there's fear of revolution elsewhere in the country and so there's a global kind of sense of threat of a left and that's not happening that's always been one sort of kind of thing miss you know another piece that's missing historically too is what the late split will kind of us giovanni ribisi called workplace bargain power there were these
7:50 pm
remarkable capital intensive industries they could be shut down they could be crippled by a staff it you know body print in michigan or in the or in the chicago packing house is it an arm or a slip plant a bunch of left militant black workers could stop the killing floor and a huge hole gigantic $10000.00 worker plan would go down the whole continuous flow of production. rising sea levels and shrinking coastlines that's the ground reality increasing temperatures have brought a pot hole y. which became the 1st state to declare a climate emergency that shows just how dire the situation is growing this week on america's lawyer archies barry. sanchez explained how state and federal lawmakers are taking steps to meet the worsening climate crisis head on. the senate concurrent resolution $44.00 declares that climate change is a threat to the environment and humans and requests state wide cooperation in
7:51 pm
addressing the adverse effects of climate change including rising sea levels and the global temperature coastal erosion and protecting critical infrastructure while the resolution is largely symbolic it also calls on hawaii's government to prohibit private investment and public subsidies in projects that exacerbate climate change like coal oil gas or tree burning it also calls on the government to promote policies and infrastructure to replace fossil fuels with solar wind or battery storage by 2030 the state is taking action based on global scientific evidence and its own climate problems you know it's a non-binding resolution but at least they're doing something to get out there and say we're paying attention to it our beaches are roading we have sea levels that are rising our infrastructure is at risk and we have to do something even though the feds are doing what they need to do we need to do something on our own but how has climate change impacted. you know besides the fact that right now they see
7:52 pm
their islands disappearing from erosion. yellow climate change has led to more droughts on hawaii's islands which greatly impact indigenous communities deteriorate freshwater streams and rivers and reduce access to water rising sea levels have resulted in the long term coastal erosion to 70 percent of the beaches in co i walk through and maui local governments on several islands had already previously declared climate emergencies back in 2019 but the new state wide declaration now acknowledges the urgency of this problem and aims to solve some of the most pressing issues. you know one regime that you see in these other states are planning to. similar actions i know florida comes to my mind all the coastal states go into my mind this would seem like a good idea what your what if you followed on. sure many states in the u.s. are now regularly experiencing climate change related catastrophes from deep
7:53 pm
freezes to debilitating droughts wildfires hurricanes and storms at least $33.00 states have now released a climate action plan or have one in the works and these plans typically set goals targeting greenhouse gas emissions or focus on shifting to renewable energy sources but so far hawaii is the only u.s. state to declare an official climate emergency now back in february there was a house resolution introduced at the federal level to declare a national climate emergency and the by an administration has spoken about advancing climate policies at home and internationally but we'll have to see how that plays out. for the 1st time a federal court has given the i.r.s. permission to seek the identities of cryptocurrency users in a new way they will be authorized to serve a john doe summons in order to force a popular crypto exchange to turn over information on its users this week ben's wanting kristie i discussed the dangerous precedent this ruling sets and why it
7:54 pm
highlights the importance of truly owning your crypto. essentially what they're saying to crack it is turn over all of your information on these users show was their financial history show us what they've been doing because they owe us money and we're coming to get that money it's something that you got to say it again rachel i've been warning about this for a long time but it's on its way that the i.r.s. will crack down and unfortunately i think there's a lot of crypto users who if crack and goes along with this and i believe that they will that ultimately that those users are going to be hurt tremendously by this because of the fact that the u.s. government can't figure out what crypto is how to classify it and so the. just kind of jerk everyone around with these regulations i think it's a very bad thing for these users but if i were you if you're on crack you better sure get in your tax stuff in order and it may start 6 on crack in now but it's going to start going around to other exchanges as the government figures out exactly what they're able to do and it is also going to go to
7:55 pm
a smaller group the users so those who are 20000 above you sit there and say oh i only have 5000 or 10000 i'm fine you're not flying the computer with really they're just starting with the bigger numbers 1st yeah definitely a good morning for everyone to start getting aware of it now kristie i want to look at another update we're hearing that according to crypto custody n y d g for the 1st time customers of some u.s. banks will soon be able to buy hold and sell bit quoting through their existing accounts so what does that mean for the space as a whole. was pretty big news because for the 1st time customers of these he was banks can actually buy and sell big point through their existing accounts very similar to how they can sell equities through their current account so banks are asking for a big point now because they see that their customers are spending $1.02 point days and other quick changes such as and pay power and all of the apps that now allow you to purchase does and they're losing out on major businesses and also at the
7:56 pm
same time losing deposits but just basically the life blood of so this is yet again another step towards mainstream adoption and great for the masses thanks have previously steered clear of big point announcing it calling it a giant almost ponzi scheme and by some kinds against it saying it's too volatile and too risky for all these beach our lives so now they're definitely eating their words back so i guess yeah it's another way. but not really because once again anyone who uses this service is missing out on the entire point of which is to bank yourself and to cut out the intermediary because at the end of the day the bank is the one controlling your assets limiting your withdrawals monitoring what's going in and out of freezers on your account for some reason. that they concocted because their reserves are getting low. that sanford just press play i'm rachel woman's to see more of the cook you just saw here download the portable t.v. ad for your apple or ian gray device buffy is here next week and as always don't forget to question more.
7:57 pm
i like it when we pose the question for the guests and then actually listens to the guests answer and then react to that answer 8 folks dennis miller here i've got a new show. 'd 'd i think the average viewer just after watching a couple segments understands there were telling stories there are critics can't
7:58 pm
tell me you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth artie's able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american public what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical that chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes chancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what their work and. how to read out read turn on the t.v. on the about the world of what's happening around me i see shills on the screen
7:59 pm
speak in last every day because the fake news near it says sadie state. who may be cooling 6 o'clock build enough business with farm at the bar brick by brick school is the make it out plenty of thing in the store but i found a network that question science great sound space civil strife climate change sample work a cool simple list solid mainstream wants to do was keep us close watch those right you can't keep a silence critical poissy is full perspective question since our directive we don't take sides we walk the dog artsy america means real talk.
