5:30 pm
so you know the less common sense is going to be that the safer we will our is no secret that you go on the internet you can find out what to do and how to do it and this is a this is a problem all summer to use bullying we know at least in the research that i've conducted is the leading cause of gun violence in schools so bullying revenge retaliation and and side effects of psychotropic medications have been found to be the predominant causes of school violence one of the most important things that we need to do is we really have to work to intentionally create a very safe school climate working together collaboratively with parents with teachers with administrators to really identify those students who may be withdrawn who may be why it you may have struggled the recent loss who may be a victim of bullying who may be struggling academically or they have behavioral issues and the more that people can come together and identify the work that we can
5:31 pm
be proactive rather than reactive if time for a quick look at what else is ahead in our to over the coming week and i'm back at the top of the hour with more from the past 7 days. i'm chris hedges the corporate coup d'etat has destroyed our democratic institutions the commercial media has been less part of the reality show presidents expose the trivial lies seen on cantor question more. those in command of toxic systems designed to keep us can view as destructive are no match for an awakened mind they lie you win the war they lie you and poverty they tell you. they're watching are you watching them are watching. on portable t.v. . hey
5:32 pm
there i'm good senator landrieu and you're watching just for us to show the printer in that reports exclusive interviews on controversial issues you may have missed during this week on our can marry and the workplace today president joe biden is enjoying his popularity as approval ratings are high but he's director more on news with rick sanchez plus dennis miller talks with comedian russell peters to discuss how to be funny in a council called environment and i'll be joined live in studio by room buzz co-host bored to this because of the shortage of gas is still affecting the consumer let's get started. you.
5:33 pm
on contact host chris hey just want some americans not to be fooled by president joe biden even though biden's approval rating is 63 percent rick sanchez asked the question of why the president called it's called a socialist space some and the wall street guardian by others more a news with sent. well he has a high approval rating as to obama when he came into office obama was also compared to f.d.r. and then turned out to quote a phrase by my friend cornel west to be a black mascot for wall street biden has long serve the interests of the business elites and lead he was tros and by obama to be a vice president because in essence he voted voted republican they used to call him senator a credit card most of the big credit card companies are based in delaware he has.
5:34 pm
you know he was an author of the patriot act nafta on and on and on and then of course in the clash with bernie sanders the democratic party elite made it very clear lloyd blankfein the former c.e.o. of goldman sachs and other major figures in the democratic party said that if sanders was the nominee they would vote for trump trump was distasteful in that he didn't bring the gravitas and decorum to the management of empire that the elites want they knew biden would do that and when you look at his plan remember biden on the campaign trail had said that he would when he got to office right the $2000.00 stimulus checks that got reduced to $1415.00 minimum wage has collapsed his infrastructure plan is not clearly going to be whittled down by the senate and his relief package is essentially handing large sums of money to states and to corporations it's just another version of trickle down economics so then how does
5:35 pm
it work how is it that all my friends and the folks that i interviewed from time to time on the rides can have it so wrong they say he's a communist a socialist but he's going to absolutely give away the country to all the poor people and the rich are going to be a lock i mean they literally have how big could reverse view of him and you do explain that to us. well but that was true in the obama administration rick i mean they made those same charges against obama when the track record is quite clear obama serve the interests of wall street indeed bailed wall street out bailed out the people who carried out the financial fraud at the expense of the victims of that fraud so that's a rhetorical feint i'm not sure they believe it and fact i think most of them are probably quite comfortable with biden biden is not going to touch structurally the for profit health care system he has called for an increase in his budget military
5:36 pm
budget by 11000000000 dollars 1.6 percent increase and that's you know over 7 $150000000000.00 so yeah i think that's just part of the kind of political game but the reality is that he has always been and remains essential creature of the corporate elites so he that would be the more expression is a walking representation of that that saying we hear all the time that nowadays in america there really is no difference between a democrat and a republican. former president when that is the baby named astri and now president biden is moving to manful flavored cigarettes among other products attorney sarah pup until a new job in the big picture this week so this cause whether they've been and manful create the sions are real causes for concern that the back industry and the
5:37 pm
targeted. are brands like these just inherently fragile. well 1st i got to point out exactly how this industry is spinning the narrative like we said they've been is not a safer alternative to cigarettes in fact what we found is that there can be up to 8 times the amount of nicotine in a single puff of that you cigarette versus a thought of a regular cigarette and that's not even to mention all of the carcinogens that are found in this baby in liquid so it's not a safe will say for our alternative to the traditional cigarette is just a narrative that this industry is spinning and they contend you to spin this narrative because they're so desperate to create this new generation of addicts right that's the classic tobacco business model that we've seen over the years let's get people addicted but specifically let's get children addicted that's getting addicted without flavored nicotine so i mean if actions are pushing hundreds of thousands of dollars into schools in an effort to promote
5:38 pm
a pain they're telling people it's safe and it's become a serious issue among teens we see we see the increase in baby rise substantially so luckily states are pushing this legislation because they recognize that the cigarette manufacturers are targeting our children they're targeting young kids middle school kids so we're going to continue to see cities fighting back and states fighting back and that's good but not all of them are going to be successful because you know it really is going to just depend on the nature of the legislation that's proposed and it's going to depend on the jurisdiction that it's in and of course it's going to depend on whether or not we can overcome the thousands of dollars hundreds of thousands of dollars that these industries fund in their legal team to try to overcome these hurdles. yeah you know that brings to mind something else because recreational cannabis is now legal in what 17 states and i speak to you from providence rhode island where up and down interstate 95 there is a billboard war going on between the just over the state line and massachusetts
5:39 pm
weed stores and no government seems to be resisting this because everyone needs the tax money do you foresee a backlash against legal weed it's all going to depend on what the federal government does like we say when you're traveling over interstate borders it does become sort of an issue because you know if it's legal in one state not legal another then you run into interstate commerce but it's really going to have to come down to uniformity across the states when we find a solution and i think like you said states are so willing to accept it because because they're seeing huge profit rises in medical marijuana so it's really going to see it be interesting to see what the federal government decides and how this issue develops over time. yeah and at the moment these weed retailers have a real problem because the banks don't want to do business with them. colombia has been in the midst of protests and riots that are lies that contrie for more than 2
5:40 pm
weeks what started as a protestant against the government's new tax reform morphed into a full escalation of clashes between the police and various unhappy groups like unions indigenous people and they youth scouting though he was ghosting death into white eve have been if there is any solution in sight. so why are these protests still going on do you feel like. you still many things happened to get lost either years old prices. old prices came down we really don't migrants are going to so i look into. the labor market. why don't you get it and then you have the price it's only $1.00 of their own trees that was. their worst. year was a contraction of almost 7 percent of g.d.p. so i mean old those things coming together has 20 percent unemployment. skyrocketed
5:41 pm
almost 40 percent of the people are on their order levels soledad together that has created a very folksy climate well and a lot of that sounds like you know kind of meringue what's going on here in the united states hence why i think a lot of residents in the u.s. could be very sympathetic as you mentioned you've had your borders have been definitely traded in your have to deal with an immigrant crisis there the obviously low employment you know and you're having the same argument that we're having here in the u.s. the target of a lot of these protests have been towards a law enforcement you know i've seen lots of images of police stations and fire and flooded with social media so why does a people so angry at the place and made them a target. you look at has very little at least 100 people and that's a huge burden until. just to try to keep only go there when you have some organized groups that really want to reduce ability to go. girl you know there's a lot of money from the drug to. the whole economy has had some terrible years drug
5:42 pm
related business has an amazingly well so those people gain a lot by creating stability and so while those groups are the land of numbers that didn't became part of the process ringback so how do you then with a lot of the kind you of the scene out of the soviets and the police and all of you started while there are very few police colbert to the number of protesters so that is a very imbalanced relationship that's what this whole thing to under the salon of money behind the fortune but and i have to ask is there writing on the ground who are the people that are out there protesting or sometimes and say in the united states sometimes you have people that come in and they feel very passionate about it sometimes you do see like you said the pay protesters there's money behind it you know does the average columbian and are they involved in what is going on or are they kind of still living trying to at least live their daily lives as best as possible with a crippled economy. i think i mean i think 17.5 percent of what have been put out a lot of people that are suffering
5:43 pm
a lot of the. juice now that is almost 35 percent of employees so they out on the streets protesting with very legitimate arguments and they're very frustrated but they don't all the people on the site that are that want to create these names that are able to create a climate of violence a crisis that is not what is happening i don't know if it will get started is it safe areas particularly. where gollies and what not and they've been sort of another would be a huge region of the territory for many years so you know how will that be it makes these very complex is how do you motivate on series of very specific areas and as you can imagine most of the people are are positive this is they are meeting for legitimate. from the government but it's. by the whole interest groups with a lot of money out of created quite a bit of the sort. when we come back the united states has gone into a tailspin in that wake of that gas and young line from the gas tank right after
5:44 pm
these. *. mainstream news is in ruins i should know because i saw it from the inside and i know how they all bring stop falling for exaggerations distractions and fiction for news that tells you what's really going on turn in to r.t. america where we always question on.
5:45 pm
the screen. welcome back. and you're watching just for us play to base cancel coulter has hindered the comedian some people at the to say funny stories without being censored well that's not the case of russell peters the comedian tells then his meter how he created the podcast allowing his guest to speak freely about whatever they want to discuss into base cancel culture. you know we're living in a time everybody scared what they're saying out in public and as i'm sure you in private with your friends and much like myself when i'm with my friends i always say to them i go could you imagine if somebody could hear our conversation right now we would be canceled so i basically have those same types of conversations in my backyard with my friends we smoke
5:46 pm
a cigar we have some drinks and we just talk that's free talk and there's no one malice involved when we're talking about anybody so i mean if you want to cancel us for being real people and talking about real things and that's on you that's not on us and the people that want to cancel you are never your friends they're never people that were in your corner to begin with so what is your sudden beef with us on this and so i want to get back to the times when. freedom of speech was free. but he you know russell it's odd because it's counterintuitive but one has to go back and. think george orwell was no strick dahmus he always thought it would be the global left to to some degree and indeed 30 years of. open mind of this which is always preached over there and now comes with a very close minded carry out to its citizens it's very confusing but i don't think they see it or if they do see it that's even more frightening to me because they
5:47 pm
see it and choose not to do anything about it which seems malevolent as a part of as opposed to misguided. why is this whole notion. you know we need to be more tolerant upon being more true or well if i'm telling you to be toned then i have to be tolerant of your installer it's just you know we're. pretty strong words and not be tolerant let's listen we've got mission creep over there and when it reaches the host of the bachelorette i would say we're somewhere near the pillars of hercules a. wretched done any active discussion it's a very odd time and i've never actually physically met a cancelled person. i don't know if you have but never be met you see them online because you don't actually see of faces i think they're bots i think the russians.
5:48 pm
but i do feel their plight of sometimes people say things that if you're going to be in the public eye i get it there's a e.u. should you owe it to yourself to be smart enough to not compromise your rice bowl with some idiocy i see other people who have just done what anybody else does on any given day in many aspects of their life which is a little more rough and tumble than shot through the p.c. prism and they're over as far as a wage earner that that is a frightening promise to make. it's a very weird and you know i'm starting to realize that this is only p.c. culture isn't coming from the outside is come from the inside because when i'm on the phone with networks or agencies or whatever they're the ones telling you what you can and cannot say it's not out so the fact that the industry is actually doing this to us is scary because that's our industry and they're the ones the whole game . according to the labor department inflation search at the fastest
5:49 pm
pace since september of 2008 this jump in inflation let's expect that after a year of lockdown seeing the united states used to cover 1000 and then make one bus go host bring that we're explains why that condom is reacting that way to us. and what do you make of this current situation well there's no nothing to suggest that it's transitory remember this is the same fed that told us that the problems in subprime were contained inflation isn't as is as transitory now as a subprime was contained bagmen but you know it's actually a lot worse than the 4.2 percent year over year if you look at the 1st 4 months so far of this year prices have already moved up by 2 percent in a 4 month period so if you add your lies that you're talking about 6 percent c.p.i. for 2021 but if you look at the trend the monthly trend is accelerating if that
5:50 pm
trend continues for the rest of the year we're going to see a c.p.i. in 2021 increasing by better than 20 percent on the year so whatever numbers mr full wolf was using at 4.2 percent i magine how much bigger it is at 20 percent because inflation is a tax this is the way the government is paying for all the spending so if you want to know how we're paying for all the ballots and all the stimulus it's through inflation so every time you go to the. argot and stuff cost you more money that additional cost is the price we're paying for bigger government professor wolf you know to the point i guess initially about raising inflation or inflation continuing to rise you know when we talk about monetary policy from the fed they've had this easy policy it could lead to long term harm if we continue to see inflation going up. yes the fed is in this impossible situation it has pumped the money supply
5:51 pm
it has made corporations more debt dependent than they've ever been by providing them with virtually free money from the federal reserve it would be very dangerous to raise interest rates which is normally what you would do it in inflationary situation because that could risk a cascade of people are unable to turn over their debt to maintain their debt and then what will the corporations do you are seeing a system that is now disintegrating around us nobody knows quite what to do this to shift is right the inflation could be much greater than what they're guessing at this point and the future is something none of us know so they can't afford to raise the interest rate because of the debt problem but they're can't afford not to because it will accelerate in inflation that will be troubling to. several states including north carolina and virginia the clear
5:52 pm
a state of emergency as a result of that gasoline sort that as you can imagine those lines at the pump linger as an exciting this was the out of the hiking on one of the longest gas pipelines in the country the colonial pipeline paid the extortion feet in the media and some dollars to restore the flaw gus i think correspondent not that's a sweet has that the health of a nation in panic. it's got even more than $1000.00 gas to sense in the south. reported running out of fuel part of that reason according to analysts is near panic buying among drivers it all began 6 days ago when a gang of hackers sat down major pipeline drivers lighting up their cars in fear of the current gasoline shortage will dry up even more christian white says he commutes every day to work at least 25 miles and doesn't want to get stuck with out enough fuel you should have a person over a week he's in a wheel. or your gas bill but they were very. very good start and
5:53 pm
get to work and have the gas bill. the colonial pipeline the biggest fuel pipeline in the u.s. deliver in about 45 percent of what's consumed on the east coast was hit by a cyber attack last friday hackers locked up computer systems and demanded a ransom to release them the attack is raising concerns about just how vulnerable the nation's critical infrastructure remains well colonial resumed its normal operations monday drivers are still feeling the crunch several states including north carolina and virginia have declared a state of emergency as a result of the gas shortage however officials say there is no reason to hoard gas as it will still take a few days for operations to get up and running at normal levels heard of that it set of gasoline in these areas that motorists simply part their cars for a few days and conserve as much as possible but some motorists aren't so sure even while filling up certain types of fuel are also on low as n.p.'s or oil price information service put the number of gas stations in countering shortages at more
5:54 pm
than $1000.00 in virginia 7.7 percent of the state's nearly $3900.00 gas stations reported running out of fuel tuesday and in north carolina 8.5 percent of the state's $5400.00 gas stations were out there helping reports of price gouging gas prices were rising even before the pipeline incidents and now with summer approaching summer worried about the busy driving season ahead government officials are taking action to assure the public there is no reason to. alarmed over the shortage the environmental protection agency reportedly lifted some fuel quality requirements on an emergency basis and the transportation department is also relaxed and some work for standards to have railroads deliver fuel in lines. to talk more about the gas shortage after the run somewhere at the colonial pipeline we have boom bust co-host want to join us and discuss some more of this thank you for coming of course ok brant that attacker chose one of the most
5:55 pm
important energy infrastructure in that country to hack the colonial pipeline carries gasoline and other products to 14 states even more all of these gasoline is mostly used in that east coast so does the same price structure is often and do the companies pay without hesitation how come when there are these run some. routes where attacks are very common on this scale for a large scale infrastructure like this where it comes to energy where it's gas or the power grid or something like that we haven't seen something quite as large scale but i want to bring up some numbers here you know one boom bust were numbers people 2500 ransomware attacks were reported by the f.b.i. last year that's up 66 percent from 2900 so this is getting more and more common and lately we've been seeing it more in local municipalities where they might take on a little bit of their health care system government computer systems and they do the same thing now as for paying it has become
5:56 pm
a little bit more common because it's cheaper to pay it than try to figure out how to get rid of it but the insurance industry for cyber attacks has also grown with a lot of these companies now having insurance programs to cover this if it were to happen again so they have to spend them on absolutely or some money in some cases where people are excited their rating when the long lines were form and the gas station i don't know if you say that on your software these long lines there was an erratic behavior among consumers even risking their lives. i still get ahold of the liquid like feeling known to kind of like to do things that might be viral lately to get the protection out there more recently but. they can short it wasn't necessarily overblown we don't know exactly how much supply was being put in and how much supply was actually affected what we do know though is that the demand nationwide went up about 20 percent according to gas buddy was actually referenced in the docs package and 40 percent on the east coast in those in those areas and
5:57 pm
which are fueled by the colonial pipeline and because of that i've said if you look at the way that they do business if you're a gas station you know this week of may or of april this is how much gas we need well if the demand goes up 40 percent so be harder for us no matter what happens to get the gas that needs to be put in the tank so there was a little bit of panic buying that caused the supply shortage where there was actually a supply supply shortage time that everybody saw for consumers and big corporations i delude all right thank you so much for coming on that's it for it does present me i'm brooke anderson on the see more of the cleats you just saw here download the portable of that t.v. ad for your i phone our angry device will see you here next time and as always don't forget to play him.
5:58 pm
oh you. go by. the. old the field. every. according to. you source the story about the fact that maxwell will likely take others doubt i guarantee you there's a lot more going on. in our nation's capitol this. week
