to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. that development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical. i'm time to sit down and talk about gas prices skyrocket to record highs as the demand continues to grow. plus that is this facebook whistle blower really trying to do the right thing or pave the way for even more censorship. and what may have caused that massive oil fil off the coast of southern california. all that and more right here are news hughes on our t. america. ah . good evening and thanks for joining us. i'm natasha sweet in for
12:31 pm
scotty now hughes. we have some developing news coming out of texas and 18 year old open fire inside a dallas area high school, leaving for people injure the shooting happened at timber view, high school in arlington. authorities said the shooting occurred after a fight broke out at the school. according to reports, the all clear has been given at the school and the shooter is now in police custody . he has been identified as 18 year old timothy george simpkins. 3 of the 4 victims were taken to the hospital. the other refuse treatment. the natural gas price in europe has sword to in all time record $6.00 times higher than it was in the spring . it's put the continent on a course for a major energy crunch, revealing internal divisions within the block over brussels is green. policies are cheese. peter oliver reports from berlin, while places are as high as they are on the commodities markets, this isn't so much going to trickle down to consume,
12:32 pm
is this perhaps these prices are gonna fall upon homeowners from a more domestic home uses. form a great height. what we've heard from the european commission president ursula found a lion is that she recognizes that there are major problems that we're facing right now. and problems that are coming down the pipe further along. but says that in the long term, it's renewable energies that are going to keep energy prices low across europe. i think we have to be very clear that the gas prices are skyrocketing and her, but the renewables, the prices have decreased over the last years. and are stable so for us is very clear that with energy in the long term, it is important to invest in renewables. that gives us stable prices and more independence because gas is imported, 90 percent of the gas is important to the european union. the renewables we are the master without plans being dismissed out of hand by hunger as prime minister,
12:33 pm
victor or bon, his country just assigned a new deal with russia to import gas into hungry for the next 15 years. victor, all bands blamed these problems on the european commission saying they have far too many restrictions in place. far too much regulation. and that is what's causing the issues when it comes to buying gas. you must change its policy because partly at least partly the reason why the prices are up is the 4th of the, of the commission. but we have to change some regulations. otherwise, everybody will suffer. the problem for hunger is other the new regulation of greenfield, which isn't bad expectation for flat owners. owners have caught on or the e u energy commissioner has warned that prices will most likely continue to rise throughout the winter. won't see any rest bite until the spring of 2022, just how high prices rise may well come down to something as fickle as the weather . if it's a particularly cold winter, we could well see prices saw thing higher and higher. and what we've also seen
12:34 pm
though is a number of european countries coming together and saying things half the change, france paying grease, the czech republic and romania, all of their finance ministers signed a joint statement saying that there needs to be a complete overhaul of the way energy is purchased in europe. that isn't going to be a short term solution though. perhaps in the long term it may change something. it's not gonna change energy bills this coming winter. what we're also seeing is the european union is saying that they're going to investigate claims that russia is behind attempts to manipulate the gas price that they've been trying to drive up prices. this is something that's been fundamentally denied by the kremlin, the spokesperson for the russian government saying that russian suppliers are living up to the very letter of contracts that have been signed. we insist that russia is playing no role in what is happening on the european gas market that
12:35 pm
could not happen. russia has fulfilled and will continue to fulfill to the letter all of its obligations on existing contracts. there is one way to get more gas into europe, and that's through the nod stream to gas pipeline, not huge infrastructure projects. construction was completed this summer. however, it still awaiting the green light in terms of all of the certification and approval from various agencies before it can stop providing energy. once that does get the approval that needed, well, it could provide as much as 55000000 cubic meters of russian gas to europe every single year that's around enough to power $27000000.00 european homes are back here at hong u. s. federal investigator say a ship's anchor, maybe to blame for a massive oil spill in california artes john had he has more on the possible cause . the oil slick remains visible from the air, land, and sea off the coast of huntington beach, california. as the clean up continues, now,
12:36 pm
u. s. federal transportation investigators looking into the cause of the spill, say that ships anchor may have hot drag and tor, and underwater pipeline spewing tens of thousands of crude oil into the pacific ocean. further officials say the pipeline zoner amplify energy corps of houston, texas did not shut down operations fast enough when emergency alarms began to learning cruise around 2 30 am saturday, october 2nd, about a possible rupture waiting until around 6 am saturday. the company then reportedly waited another 3 hours to notify the u. s. coast guards, national center for oil spills. there had even been reports of an oil slick and strong petroleum smell. coming in to the coast guard as early as friday evening. the ceo of amplify energy cor, maintains they were unaware of the spill until around 8 am. saturday, it happened about 5 miles off the coast of huntington beach, california, which is south of los angeles. the ocean there is line with oil rigs and huge tanker ships that often anchor off shore,
12:37 pm
while awaiting docking orders and coordinates from the port of long beach u. s. coast guard officials say divers determined that about 4000 feet of the pipeline about 100 feet down was quote, laterally displaced by about 105 feet that is ripped up and dragged along the ocean floor. so far as much as 126 to 144000 gallons of oil has reportedly leaked into the pacific waters. while official say at this point, the spill hasn't had any major impacts on ocean life in the area. it is still too early to tell for sure. so for now, as the clean up continues, questions also remain about how and why the incident happened and how to prevent it from ever happening again. for news use hughes john honey. and tuesday, we heard testimony from francis haga and a former data scientist for facebook. you may recall her capitol hill presence was less than 48 hours after appearing on 60 minutes. it
12:38 pm
a night hogan shared company documents. she said she copied before her departure. the paper, the papers revealed that facebook may have chosen profits and user interactions over the well being of people. according to the research, a facebook utilizes engagement based rankin, which prioritize is content that elicits in extreme reaction, i saw facebook repeatedly encounter conflicts between its own profit and our safety . facebook consistently resolve these conflicts in favor of its own profits. the result has been more division, more harm, more lies, more threats, and more combat. in some cases, this is a, this dangerous online talk has led to actual violence that harms and even kills people. again was rather chummy with lawmakers at the hearing. when asked by senator richard blumenthal, if the buck stops with facebook, theo magazine berg, this is, was huggins response. mark holds a very unique role in the tech industry in that he holds over 55 percent of all the
12:39 pm
voting shares for facebook. there are no similarly powerful companies there, as he unilaterally controlled and in the end, the buck stops with mark. there is no one heard currently holding mark accountable by himself. and for more on the possible motives behind the facebook. with the lower we turned to ad martin, president of phillip shaft li, eagles, and the publisher of pro american report dot com. thanks for joining us today at. great to meet with you, natasha. thank you. now there are some theories circulating out there that francis hodgin isn't exactly the angel that she's claiming to be. again, these are just claims be made at this point. but what are your thoughts about her working with a p r firm that has ties to the democratic party? well, it's not so much try. so the democratic party ties to obama until the obama insider team. you know, bill burton is the guy who we're talking about. he's one of the insider obama, you know, hacks that does this stuff for a living. but look,
12:40 pm
i don't care about people's intentions are what's in their hearts your minds. i care about describing what happened. we had the wall street journal and 60 minutes make this woman into a st. and by the time 2 days later, she's in front of the senate. you have the senate going through a kabuki theater, where they're talking as if they're really fighting and really doing something. and then all the solutions offered are the ones that the big tech giants want. most they can control more speech and make more money. there's no breaking up iowa, one quick solution. facebook lied to the public about instagram and facebook. that's what it sounds like. break them up. instagram should be spun off. facebook should go the other way. let's do something and actually changes the power dynamic . so the whole thing was theater. it was done not just by bill burton and the obama people, the biting people needed to change the conversation into something that they think is better for the public. so it's the worst of the swamp, and i think the american people need to see through it, but i fear they won't because they won't be able to see it on regular media. and as it is, many conservatives complain about being censored and some are speculating,
12:41 pm
oversight will only tighten what people can see on the platform, meaning less conservative content. do you think that that's a possibility, but it has to be true the only the only liberals that are so that are remotely a censored by facebook are ones that don't want the vaccine. they happen to be african american, n b a players they get otherwise, it's all conservative. so yeah, look when well, what, what big tech is most afraid of is being broken up. and so they'll go to bed with that with the re government with big government, the senators, because they know how to buy them and control them. what they and they don't mind if they say, if it blumenthal it says, hey, you've got to stop. remember this whistleblower said what got her to the point of whistle blowing was one of her friends got show in to facebook. he became a right winger might have been a trump. that's the whole reason to be here. so what's the senate is going to say is we'll tell you what free speech is, and then facebook will say, oh good, that's what will enforce that. no problem. and it won't be conservatives. libertarians outside the box thinkers, it will be all what the narrative machine,
12:42 pm
what big government, big tech, and be big media, want to feed us and want us to hear it's very scary and facebook is regulated. how do we know it won't be the same thing? like with the tobacco companies in big pharma where the law is written actually protect their interests? well, we don't accept that. what we can predict is what this whistleblower said. she thought was smart, which is redo $230.00 so that facebook would have to regulate speech according to what, what blumenthal and the woman even admitted. she said, i would like to leave harvard business school work for a few years at a tech giant. and then go into this new regulatory agency. it's like elizabeth warren's dream scenario with all the inbound economic stuff. so what we know is it will be protecting facebook. why? because the same idiots that are sitting across the senator saying, all this at mid, there's more lobby as for facebook and google than anybody else up there on capitol hill and money talks and senators walk. and so again,
12:43 pm
we should be able to predict that. and the public has to demand something different than this kabuki theater that we saw. and we know that facebook is a private company. they can it truly be a free speech platform if the so called misinformation police, which is what hug and essentially was at facebook are deciding what's true and not true. shouldn't we be concerned if anything, a conservative says is defined as hate speech when it's just the opposite of their narrative. yeah, this is the exciting thing about natasha living at this time is all the models have gone out the window, right? the libertarians want to say, oh, it's a private business, leave it alone. it's too much power. facebook and google and youtube are dominating our lives, our families, our kids. we have to do something different than the old model. remember, anti trust law was created at the time of the trust, the energy trust, the oil trust, because they had no theory before that to think about how to do it. so free speech hasta trump zocker berg's box. and we have to be willing to think creatively about
12:44 pm
what that means. and so you're exactly right. you know, the fear should be that anyone controls our speech. but what right now, what the reality is, is that you have a big government that is dictating and being dictated to there's embed together by big tech. and so by the way, yesterday or 2 days ago, when mark arlen says, parents may get out of hand at school boards or better said the school board administration says, tell us to stop them. and he puts the f, b i on the case. that's the beginning, i guarantee a facebook is looking and saying, well, people that say bad things about school board meetings, we better throttle them back because that's what big government wants. it's really totalitarianism and it's happening in front of our eyes. and martin, we always appreciate your insight. thank you so much for your time. thank you to tasha. well, could there be a new conflict of interest in the classroom? we'll discuss with our $360.00 panel right after the break. it is a
12:45 pm
12:46 pm
the train, general mayor, garland and hot water for a conflict of interest. according to media reports merits donna rebecca, is married to the co founder of an education resource company and is pushing critical race theory. as some parents are protesting the material garland went as far as getting the f b i to work with local leaders to address what he called a disturbing spike and harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against teachers and school board members. is there more to the story to discuss? let's bring in our political panel, blink abdul, conservative commentator and robert patillo talk radio host and civil rights attorney. thanks for joining me gentlemen. thanks. gotcha, thanks. now 1st i want to get both of your reactions to this information unfolding with the attorney general. robert, you're an attorney. do you see a possible conflict of interest here? no, this is one of the silliest stories of the week. so let's understand, the attorney general's daughter's husband works for
12:47 pm
a company that tries to get children to learn more about history. and conservatives are trying to turn that into a scandal. when the previous president's daughter and her husband worked in the, in the white house while still having business ties across the country and also internationally were vancho. trump was still selling her bootleg hand bag made in china while in the white house. i think this is a completely don story and understand right now the senate is debating $3.00 trillion dollar bills. they'll address things like early childhood education, free 2 years of junior college for anybody in the country. and instead of conservatives actually introducing their own policy or talking about what they want to do on education, they pushed each canards out to try to distract people. well, the silly stories that the american people don't believe in, and that was the entire reason they were booted out of office in 2020. and that is what democrats are depending on what he's trying to fight for the democratic award to get me and these initiative passed all of that kind of spending and just a 2nd. but only do you think this effort, king forest critical re,
12:48 pm
syrian schools against some parents wishes is being driven by the attorney general? no, i don't actually don't think that at all. and for the most part, most of us realize that very critical right theory really isn't being taught in schools at all at the k through 12 level. it really is a college level of discipline. and the problem is, is that even liberals in their response to it, they respond to the notion of teaching critical race theory by how dare the united states not teach us about our, you know, i can't story. and that's not really where we are at all in the discussion of critical race theory because it doesn't have a whole lot to do with that. but to roberts, to point the back into that, that happens in every administration where you just mentioned that whether it's on the left or the right, you try to find situations where there seems to be conflict of interest. there were liberal up at the same time that robert is talking about that would go back on things that were happening with our dealings with her and bank overseas. there were a lot of other things that democrats could have been focusing on in congress,
12:49 pm
but they were because they were focusing on those type of these type of entanglements where we try to say that this person is, you know, doing this type of thing or the other, so it really happens on both sides all the time. i don't think that this is really a big issue with what's happening with mary darling's daughters or anything like that. and i think that there is a spirit see from the attorney general's office, but there is a real alone out there with the f b i decided to actually get involved in what's happening around the country and the protests against the idea of critical race theory that really is and now we know the democrats are hoping to extend the u. s. government borrowing authority to avoid a major default. let's take a listen to what senate minority leader, mitch mcconnell, on where he says the republican stands. i said in july and august and september there's a clear path to achieve raising the debt ceiling,
12:50 pm
which must happen, america must not ever evolve and doing it with democrats only. and the link. are you disappointed with mcconnell here? not opting for a plan for the country to cut spending versus raising the debt ceiling? no matter what. yeah, well when it comes to the debt filling discussion, i can't be more disappointed in mention mcconnell now, the democrats or any other because it really happens every cycle when we have this discussion about raising the debt freely. ultimately it always happens. so how many republicans you actually get to afford it, or if the case went, donald trump was in office. how many democrats you get to afford it really is part of that political tit for tat. that happens in every administration. we've had shut down during the trumpet administration because democrats weren't willing to work
12:51 pm
with the republican president to actually, whether it was race, billing, or, you know, we end up with these continuing, continuing resolution. be ours, as we call that. so no, i've not, it's the point it went to my condo because at the end of the day, what i realize is that the debt ceiling will be re added it every single time, every administration robert house majority web, james cliburn says that the debt ceiling is our hey, and wish and get rid of it. do you agree and do you think this is something party will get behind? i think you've turned is turned into a formality just as mulligan said that at the end of the day, no politician and no congress are going to allow america default on their dance and for enjoy a nation in receivership. so when you have a threat, was no longer has in chief to it. will this become a formality of something silly business kicked around as a political football for a few weeks until ultimately getting resolved? now do i think when she does have unlimited spending in america, where there is absolutely no checks and balances?
12:52 pm
no, i do not have them as we bipartisan understanding, the one trauma to $1.00 trojan l or test that, that he didn't pay for. that should have been something that we talked about as a nation of you're going to have $3500000.00 in spending. there is something that we should talk about in a nation. i'd. so i don't get behind the idea of completely eliminated the debt syllabi, duke, no one should get back to, as molly said, having read regular budgeting and the station having an actual budget instead of continuing resolutions, instead of cramming everything to reconciliation. but our parties have become so tribal, tribal listed there is nearly impossible, decomposed the most perfunctory thing across the line. a, when it comes to the national interest, it was not within your own parties, bases of your influence. now the white house is keeping a close eye and ain't gubernatorial race happening in virginia next month. lease if president biden was doing such a great job leaving the country, do you think this race would even matter as much? no, no, actually i don't, but it also it whether or not it actually wins or not. i think it's actually will
12:53 pm
be a lesson for democrats that running against trumps or the next 4 years don't make not actually work because the democrats and terry mcauliffe, they definitely tried to tie glen junk into donald trump in ways that were successful in 2020, i'm not sure that this is going to be as successful in 2022, and definitely 2024. so, democrats, again, whether he were the ones or not democrats should actually look at their strategy because just attacking attaching anyone or donald trump, to amy republican that runs. dat simply will not be enough to get you over the finish line. they need to be very careful with is my guess is they want and they'll continue to talk any republican to donald trump, whether or not they fully supported pm or not. robert, how do you see things playing out in for ginia? why i did thing the democrats ultimately carry the day by to agree with believe that it belongs democrats continued to have trumpet mean the ghost of the darkness
12:54 pm
that it is sinners. american politics round trump. entropy of them as opposed to moving forward. electrons are based on the future, not the past. nobody's asking about, hey, what are the old or what is joe william howard half. think about this issue, because there's something in the past. is that something to putting towards a future? i think democrats of startling what their viewers of the people of the future pushing that out there, not simmering all of the races around who's the most antitrust candidate and the most the way forward. so i think the fact this raises closer shown the john joe biden had a terrible no good, very bad summer. and he asked to work on then a democrats at some, some points on the board. all right, thank you so much gentlemen. robert patello malik abdullah. always appreciate your insight. new information comes to treating coven 19 and bio pharmaceutical company. mark has reportedly developed the 1st pill to treat crone of virus. according to the company, it could cut hospitalizations and deaths by half and pill would be the 1st of its kind and may be available within months. but the price could be out of reach for
12:55 pm
many patients. turn it chavez has more on the new pill. a coven treatment in pill form, the 1st of its kind merck out with new data that shows its antiviral drug more new purity are taking twice a day for 5 days when symptoms begin. cuts the risk of hospitalization and death. in half the news of the efficacy of this particular antiviral is obviously very good news for the company when they briefed us last night, had mentioned that they will be submitting their data to the f. da. imminently of the data are impressive. you were there was a 50 percent, a diminution of importance is that in the placebo group there were. ready a deaths and in the treatment group there were no debts. that's also very important. and very good news. a company says it will soon ask health officials in the us and around the world to authorize the drugs use and have cleared the drug would be the 1st pills shown to treat coven 19 something dr. say would be
12:56 pm
a major step forward in the global efforts to control the pandemic. having pills available that can prevent the evolution into serious disease would change the way we can treat. at the moment. people who are newly affected have to come to special treatment centers to receive their intravenous infusions. we could give them now or in the future, a prescription. they can go to their pharmacy and take their medication the way they do other medicines. this would allow us to treat many more people much more quickly and we trust much less expensively. but while the new medication is being here, that's a huge advance in the treatment of coven, 19 experts at the harvard school of public health and kings college hospital in london. say the company is charging the u. s. a. 40 times more than what the drug actually cost to make. according to the report, the researchers estimate the pill only cost about $17.00 to make. however, merc is charging $712.00 for the same amount of medicine. 40 times the price. now
12:57 pm
i've reached out to merc, asking about the drastic price increase, but have not yet heard back. meantime, it's important to note that the data has not been peer reviewed just yet, but a group of medical experts monitoring the trial recommended stopping it early because the interm results were so encouraging. reporting for news use use trinity sharp, s r t new york. and that's all the time we have for today. thanks so much for watching and have a great ah and the way of life of rain deities leading a traditionally nomadic lifestyle. and the tundra is similar to a parallel reality. i'm with women, carry the weight of the household work on their shoulders. i'm with with us, however,

in the vast expanse of russia, there is a spot where a house wife could secure regular employment, started. it's in the fall semester with oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation, community? are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great?
12:59 pm
in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century. what other chapters called gun violence, school shootings, homelessness. first it was my job and then it was my family didn't was my savings. i have nothing. i have nothing and it's not like i don't try. i look for resources, i look for jobs, i look for everything i can to make this pass. and i end up doing is passing the road to the american dream, paved with dead refugees. it's this very idealized image. all this older america makes americans look past the deaths to happen every single day. this is
