trying to clarify my own thoughts on inflation. i got inflation wrong. i didn't see the current such coming, but why? i didn't think the fiscal stimulus early this year would boost demand as much is summers. that's how predicted. and in fact, so far it hasn't. now at this point, 60 percent of americans blamed joe biden for the crisis, but mainstream media seems to disagree and tell them they should blame themselves, not the people leading the country. there's nothing that upsets american voters more than having to pay for ever higher prices that are going up automatically by to mr. trisha can try to blame the energy companies in private this fall or want, but it's all happening under his watch. and i expect that the democrats are going to pay a very serious price for this. and the next election, if we make it that long, we don't know what inflation scrunch be at. by that time, i'm very much afraid that, that we're going to be facing

2:33 pm
but it could be space junk. there is more and more of it up there and it poses a threat. but who needs to worry about it? natasha sweet, fulfill it's in the balls we're getting prescribing they'll use on today's edition of news news use right here on our t america. ah, we expect that this death toll will continue to grow. 109 kentuckians now on accounted for. but as i look at this broken down by counting its way more, it's been a very difficult weekend for many americans call it to some of the most powerful tornadoes across kentucky and other states. more than 100 people may have been killed as tornadoes toppled, buildings, trapping people inside. and now of course, you have thousands waking up without power. officials calling it devastation that we have never seen before. trinity chavez has more on the story.
2:34 pm
today, a thousands recovering from devastation and destruction. i say it out to know that that's the time that you grew up in the very by, you know, as memories is all gone. scores of tornadoes ripping through at least 6 states over the weekend, leveling entire communities and leading many dead, harrowing images of the devastating aftermath of that catastrophic tornado outbreak . dozens of people fear dead as search and rescue efforts are underway for people who are believed to be trapped under the rubble. we've lost fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, and others. but as the governor are so poignantly and powerfully stated that we will get through this, the may ham, starting friday night when the storms 1st touch down in arkansas, hitting a nursing home there in kentucky. the hardest hit of the states. the storm reeked havoc across a 250 mile path across the state. from above,
2:35 pm
you can see the town completely destroyed. satellite images showing sites in kentucky before and after the monstrous tornado ripped across the middle of the us . one of the tornadoes slamming into a family run candle factory inside the candle factory, 110 people scheduled to work when the tornado war through. this was the factory before the storm, and this is what's left after. so we're still getting information in on the candle factory that the owner has been in contact and believes he has some different information. we are trying to verify it for the afternoon folks and over the weekend. it didn't show bite into clearing a major federal disaster in kentucky paving the way for additional federal aid as a search for survivors and damage assessments continue, and most homes are launched businesses and to tragedy to tragedy. and we still don't know how many lives are law through the full extent of the damage. but i wanna emphasize what i told all the governors. the federal government will do
2:36 pm
everything, everything you can possibly do to help. now the federal emergency management agency or fema is now on the ground as search and rescue efforts are underway. authorities there say that this is the worst devastation in kentucky's history, and it could take years to recover for news use use trinity chavez, r t. all right, now, the same a system which brought deadly tornadoes to arkansas. kentucky also left widespread devastation across the tennessee. and this is where we find our own scotty nail use coming to us from her own back yard. literally in hendersonville, tennessee, scotty. great to see, we miss you here. how. how are things going out there? well steve, the last 2 days had been very chilly, but at least the sunshine has been shining. i want to give our audience so idea about where exactly i'm at dinner still tennessee is located on the border between kentucky and tennessee. we're about 25 miles north of downtown nashville into i.
2:37 pm
great names like taylor swift, johnny cash, and the oak ridge boys call this town their home. but on friday night when i went to bed and it was 70 degrees outside, knowing that there was a huge cold front coming through. it was pretty obvious that it was going to be a long night for about $320.00. when all of the various alarms went off, whether you're talking about the emergency weather system, putting out their text messages or their alarm, or even our local newscast. it was pretty easy to see almost down to the minute to when the storm was going to be over my neighborhood. so about 10 minutes later about 328, we were downstairs with my family and my pets. and within a few minutes of them announcing our street on the television screen went dark. and at that point, we actually saw that it went dark. we actually felt what was only to be described as a huge amount of pressure being put on your ears. and you could hear, you've always heard people describe it as a warning to roaring the train coming overhead. that's not exactly that says it lightly to what it was. because at the same time,
2:38 pm
you're hearing the snapping of wood. you're hearing the pelting, we have a small window of the hail against the house. so you definitely could tell something was going on, major outside, but it only lasted about 20 seconds. but that 20 seconds did a lot of damage. now as soon as we can, there's 3 phases that goes into every form of an emergency situation like this, if you've ever been through the 1st phase is that search and rescue, which is what the still going on a kentucky, it sounds like they're still looking for some people to possibly might still be alive. then you go into the 2nd phase, which happened to a saturday morning. as you have teams of local volunteers come in with their chainsaws and their household fools to try to help clear out any areas that they can. and then now are in this 3rd bases, which is what you're looking at right now as the professionals are coming in. those that are having a plumbing electricians. and obviously the major power crews. now in my area, 80 percent has been restored of electricity, cable and internet obviously very important during this time is also restored. but
2:39 pm
i do find it funny during this entire time, amazon packages dps the us postal service. they were right on time and delivering. but interesting storm that is starting to append to that actually affects us today that might not have existed a year ago. and when i talk to my neighbors, they're extremely worried about getting actual supplies to replace lumber is actually very expensive right now, but not only that's hard to find, actually finding construction crew members to actually help repair their homes, almost impossible. so neighbors today that are involved and these emergencies are very worried about how long it might actually take for them to get their life back to normal. despite the federal government saying they're going to help. well, in reality, people usually rely on themselves. it's also very hard ad during the holidays, and we're just coming off a pandemic. so lots of different factors. what we now know is an f one at tornado that hit this region, also hit west, tennessee. and steve, it will probably be a few months before a lot of people are able to move back into their homes. the destruction you see behind me comes from people. think of a tornado, just going straight on the ground. this tornado itself never really touched down.
2:40 pm
it hovered about 110 to 20 feet back and forth above the ground, up rooting most of the trees and throwing them into whatever they could, which in our case is a lot of homes. and as you can see, the pull behind me in the home behind that. so lots of lots of recovery, lots of chainsaws in here, but grateful that there was no actual death here in my area. and so praying for all of those just north of me in kentucky. yeah. well we are glad and thankful that you and everybody in your town is okay and we'll see you soon. got it. thank you so much. thank you. have after 18 years, this is my final fox news sunday. it is the last time and i say this with real sadness, we will meet like this. and with that, the host of fox news sunday chris wallace leaves the network after an 18 year run. and he's headed to c n n plus. so what does his departure mean for the cable news
2:41 pm
landscape? let's ask the panel, legal and media analyst, lajna, lajna, media, and d watkins editor at large for salon and professor at the university of baltimore. gentlemen, great to see both of you. welcome. so wallace makes his announcement, and immediately the speculation begins. watch brian stouter over on cnn with his very predictable theory. and i'm told, according to the source of knowledge of the matter that he decided to leave on his own. he wanted out at the end of his contract to this year. so that speaks volumes about fox and what's changing and fox. so filters, theory is fox has become so radicalized wallace, couldn't take it anymore. we do know we had issues with tucker carlson, special on january 6th, but yesterday he did go out of his way to make this perfectly clear 18 years ago. the boss is here at fox promise me they would never interfere with a gas guy booked or a question i asked. and they kept that promise. i have been free to report to the
2:42 pm
best of my ability to cover the stories i think are important to hold our country's leaders to account. it's been a great ride. all right, so line. oh, which is it? he couldn't take it any more. they've given him everything he's ever wanted. ringback or both the game, the copy, the home game. this is ridiculous. he's going to leave that number one, the number one cable channel, whether or not, or he agrees with january 6 coverage. he's going to leave that. and i would imagine a rather sizable salary. and he always maintain this difference, that he was the, i don't want to say liberal or, or whatever, but, but he obviously had some problems with some of the more doctrinaire views. so he's gonna leave that at the height of his career and go to c n n plus. now remember, whenever you see anything after the name, see it and plo cnn morrison,
2:43 pm
whatever it is, it means less and mean streaming. it means they gave me, they bone in him. that's all this means and how bryan's daughter can go from. i heard he wanted to leave you because of this internees seen hate outcome ot stopping or idea what your take on why he's gone. fox news has been sox news for a really, really, really long time. and i imagine that i imagine that he couldn't. you couldn't take it any more. i think it maybe it went, it maybe it was a moral think maybe you know, the tucker carlson and some others to conspiracy theories or some of the things they report on might have been too much for him. wireless has always been known as counter outlier over there, and he's just, he took his town somewhere else, him, you know, believe it or not, sometimes people make decisions, you know, sometimes, morally, i don't think he could take it. so i wonder how he's going to take it with the,
2:44 pm
the radical left wing nut jobs over at c n n. but so he's going to see an n plus guys, and it starts up early next year, but saw more bringing up by history of bad blood who between chris wallace and seeing an anchor. jake tapper wallace, reportedly one's called an interview that tapper did with the trump official fake news tapper as reportedly called that wallace over an interview and did with trump . why not imagine working at a media outlet and on air, talent not getting along. never heard of it. i mean, i have these prima donnas ever who talk about this ever worked in the station. but let me say that, make my cnn. we were one of the now keep an eye on it because between warner media and between discovery channel as, as lab and all these people. and zach are getting the boot and between the cuomo or whatever this is going to be, this is going to look like room in the old italian government, every 5 minutes of whether or not it was chick gallieni was in and out. i me watch
2:45 pm
this. you are gonna see a remnant a b i just an aspect of what cnn used to be. so the idea again that chris wallace is leaving going there when everybody, including the discovery, had this saying, i'm gonna, i'm gonna get rid of this. now wallace makes the move come on, and we should point out that that sucker is not gone yet. don't want to give people the impression that they missed something. d doesn't wallace stature though kind of give an automatic groggy task of sorts to see an end plus a little bit at least. yeah, i think so. no, i mean he has 18 year career woods fox, and i'm pretty sure he's going to bring a lot of those frames over to see him and plus with them. oh, you know, i'm not pretty sure i don't know how to platform is going to work. but you know, i think he has a fall and i think him and tapper are going to learn how to, how to play nice. did they want to same thing? i i, i hope so. why?
2:46 pm
when, while the going down in water cooler, there are a very, very clever or there's a guy who will not be there at c and, and his name is john griffin. reportedly a senior producer on cnn's morning program new day. and he's been suspended because he was arrested for allegedly inducing minors for sex line. oh, for 30 seconds each or less. what is going on with that place to been cuomo lemon has a suit pending. and now this guy, steve, do you know how much access the cnn people have kalonde forest meant line for his men in towel f, b i c i a, and there's a messiah. i s i for you to have somebody out this criminal pedigree working for you. and you had no idea just a rumor mill. what is this place? this is going to be like one of the, some, some new of morrison version, some, some crime lab documentary. and then be say next tech behind in 10 seconds. vague
2:47 pm
at 10 seconds the end of the day, and i'm glad we got him out of there like we, we need to be more sarah when we check people's backgrounds and things that they do . because you shouldn't have the privilege of reporting or trying to report with all that dirt in negativity behind you. it's just disgusting gentlemen. thank you both. appreciate it. we'll see you soon. okay. is the earth going to soon resemble saturn with a ring of trash? natasha sweet. we'll have the story when we return. plus, why will the media cover smash and grab robberies but not class action lawsuit against major corporations? we'll discuss with our panel all coming up right after the break. good. driven by a dream shaped banks, 10 percent of those with
2:48 pm
2:49 pm
but what's good for food market is not good for the global economy. ah ok, welcome back. when story news worthy and when do decision makers in newsrooms decide to take a pass organized crime is on the rise in california is armed robbers have been bursting into high end stores and pharmacies, armed with baseball bats and crowbar smashing display cases. taking jewelry, prescriptions and clothing, absolutely newsworthy. this article claims that a single robbery generated over $300.00 stories in one month well deserve. however, it says a class action lawsuit against walgreens, for allegedly stealing wages from their own employees, only generated a single story. so is this an example of sensationalism at its best or worst,
2:50 pm
or somewhere in between? to discuss, we bring in our theme panel of our team very own tyrrell ventura. host of watching the hall send for me, a u. s. t. r official under bush and clinton. steve gail, gentleman, welcome to both of you. tyrrell. i got to say a personal hello to you. it's been a long time my friend good to talk to you. so i think we could all agree that these organize robberies are dangerous and outrageous and beg for coverage about when a company like walgreens settles a lawsuit for 4 and a half $1000000.00 for allegedly shorting employees wagers for years and years. it's not new. so steve, i'll start with you. unfair or the media just giving its audience what it wants. so or both a little bit. well, there's no real sexy visual as somebody in the back room in the bookkeeping at walgreens. the are changing the time cards a little bit. so it's so it is you know, the visual cell. and keep in mind, this is not, you know, even an isolated case in 2009. you had pfizer pay a $1000000000.00 criminal, find
2:51 pm
a $1000000000.00 civil settlement, same kind of thing. they were defrauding. the marketing of drugs is just not sexy visuals, so it doesn't make the evening news. right. tyrrell, what's your take on all of this? well, i agree with him, it's not sexy visuals, but also we have to take into consideration pfizer and walgreens. how much do they spend on marketing? how much ad buys that they have on your, on both local news and national news. and i can't for a minute imagine that, that doesn't play at least an unspoken role in newsrooms, especially tv newsrooms across the country. when deciding, or we really going to talk about walgreens basically screen over the her employees wages. are we really going to talk about what pfizer is doing? i don't know. they kind of pay a lot of our advertising bills. so that's why i believe you don't hear that as much as you know, the kind of cash and grabs petty theft that you see with tv,
2:52 pm
with closer to cameras in store as well. that it's an easier crime to report and it doesn't upset the sponsorship the commercial ab buyers. right? so most of the, the people involved in the, in the break ins are booked. many of them released due to lack of enforcement due to no bail, etc. all these laws that are sweeping liberal cities, however, the walgreens employee settled their suit and i believe after attorney's fees, i read that they collectively receive 22 percent of their alleged last wages. so this, this catch and release, no bail no rest policy. that existence. so many cities, it's creating chaos on the streets. and while no one from walgreens went to jail, well, that suit was settled. i'm sure they admitted no wrong doing. so there are, there is a difference here. right. steve?
2:53 pm
yeah, and i think because the, you know, the fact that the lawyers like with most of these, you know, big cases, the lawyers walked away with about half the money. they walked away with lot more than the walgreens employs, inc. walgreen's employees got about $0.22 on the dollar of what got ripped off from them. so they didn't even really see the recovery. now i will say that when you're seeing these violent crimes, you have a smash and grabs to me. those are the kind of people we want to be putting in jail, not just to punish them, but to keep them from committing more violent crimes because they may step them up . and also to, to basically protect us from people who will commit those kinds of violent crimes. i'd like to see the c, e o of these major corporations. not necessarily go to jail because that you know, that doesn't really protect us from violent crime. but i'd love to see a serious put them in just sort of time out. we see sometimes with college football and basketball coaches, if they get caught cheating where they cannot play in the sports arena for 4 or 5 years, they be get put on the side, binds, they get time out. we ought to be put in some of these corporate executives into time out where they're not playing in business for
2:54 pm
a 4 or 5 year period. i so tyrrell these stories, you know, they, they do make better news as, as we've alluded to, because there is the, the video which is quite shocking. there are cameras recorded, recording everything. you see the destruction after they trash a store, but no flashy visual a to show you know of when, when employees of a company, a corporation, big store larger, large corporation, small claim wrongdoing. so it's kind of a natural that the media will, will gravitate towards one and away from the other. well, it is, and then that's like i said, you know, we, you know, most media in this country is owned by one corporation or another as we, as we so well know. and so a lot of times, you know, they're not gonna sit and spend a lot of time talking about, you know, the wage stuff to walgreens. because look at the end of the day, it doesn't get as many clicks as it does like violent crime. what's interesting melon, what i would bring up is that let's also remember that when people are having their wages stolen, when the economy is bad,
2:55 pm
you do see robbery and theft and violent crime rise. so one could make an argument that those ceo's and those board members out there robbing from their employees and sending all the cache up to the top one percent actually helps perpetuate the crimes that we're seeing. the news actually cover which is the robbery and smash and grab if everybody had a really well hang job and didn't have a need or was they wouldn't be out there robbing stores. i wish we had. a i had another 3 hours to talk about all this, but gentlemen, thank you very much. appreciate your time. interesting conversation. thanks. all right, well more recent space adventures are more exciting than ever. the major side effect is causing while it's causing an overload of space debris r t correspondent natasha suite, has more on the issues plaguing space. and she's going to tell us if it could be corrected in time. well, the notion that space chunk falling from the sky will hit you on earth is common of
2:56 pm
a thought space to breathe is resulting in space collisions. and now scientists are looking to see what can be done as space travel is exploding to one that left off, merging into space is exhilarating, but the debris, at least behind in space, is a mounting problem. for the definition of space, the green space debris are defined as an human made object which is uses all useless space to breathe. could be deadly. according to carolyn free associate professor of aeronautics at purdue university says space is limited objects that are brought into space. the denser the region gets, those objects are incredibly fast. the can have relative loss is up to 10000 miles per hour. that means crashes between those objects are detrimental and will having space junk falling from the sky and causing damage on earth is not as much of a fear. collisions in space could have lethal consequences. and it's something hollywood has even brought to life in the fictional movie. gravity,
2:57 pm
including the theory that the more space debris out there will continue to create even more. ah, i, united nations gives countries some 20 years to clean up their space debris. but is that time frame in the best interest of space? really holding countries accountable and propelling the future of commercial travel, ford. but in, that's not a great thing, especially as we're doing more human missions up there, an increasing economic activity. anything that hits that 20 year mark is kind of a long time. especially if there isn't a little bit more teeth to the regulations. let's face debris has been a known issue since the 19 seventy's. some speculate that it's becoming more of an interest now from the economic ventures tied to space. i want to do the space faring after invest into shielding. i have to spend a lot of effort on collision avoidance maneuver. avoiding bigger debris pieces. one
2:58 pm
potential solution is looking at technology with a better lifecycle, as opposed to a single use satellite orbit fab is creating gas stations in space, essentially. so it's more about the life cycle and making sure that when we put up an asset that's worth, you know, millions of dollars or connected to financial activity that we, you know, keep using it rather than discarding it. and another potential solution is getting non active satellites. out of orbit faster and there's no question will rely on things like gps and whether satellites to improve our life here on earth. that space debris continues to threaten this resource. now, scientists are looking for more efficient ways to protect active satellites. reporting for news views. hughes and hottest suite, our team and that's all the time we have for today show. i'm the vault bergan for scott in l. you follow me on twitter, actually them talk, use the hash tag team and vh the keep the conversation going on. twitter, thanks for watching. ah,

all central banks, all banks, all unfair bible committees on verifiable centers of our arc run. some of them are very corrupt. some of them are extremely around here in el salvador. their money system is completely absent depending corruption because it's only dealing towards the pure monetary premium and truth of bitcoin. and on top of that bedrock of truth, you can build a fantastic country. the fantastic culture to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very difficult time. time to sit down and talk ah, fe spoke admits in court, dilates 3rd party fact checks are nothing more than opinions fueling further allegations of bias. sons, censorship on social media, also ahead. i undermines in the u. k over new restrictions being brought in to come by the 1st spreading all me chron. cobit variant, some m p 's of even compared the proposals to nazi or a germany and the pentagon said it won't told anyone liable for a bolts drone strike in afghanistan that killed 10 civilians, including 7 children, one former u. s. military drone pilot told us of his frustration over the decision to see that
