confused about it's just alex jones. of course it's the hundreds people who are conspiracy theories are harassing and targeting these families. most of them seem to operate with impunity. is it that we don't have the to prosecute them? do the laws themselves need to be changed so that these people are prosecuted, that they stop harassing these families? it's a tricky question because, you know, a journalist, i'm very you know, keen on our free speech laws. right it's not illegal to express these views. you know, you can, as alex jones does right, take a bullhorn and stand on the street and broadcast this where it does become illegal. that's the whole thing about lies. you pay for speech is free but lies you pay is when you are defaming you're naming names saying people either murdered their own children or faked their loved ones. deaths in order to profit, which was what was at the core of this. so that is prosecutable in the alex jones case shows us that but but the rest of it no and you social media companies are you c

alex murdaugh's father had died, mr.ows up early in the morning at his parents' home where his mother still lives in late stage alzheimer's in hampton. it's uncharacteristic for him to show up early. it's uncharacteristic for him to show up at all like that. he comes in and he's carrying something in a blue tarp, and he takes it upstairs, and eventually law enforcement finds out about that. they go upstairs and they find upstairs -- they find a wadded up, very, very large raincoat in a blue color that looked like a tarp. you're going to hear evidence that it was coated with gunshot residue on the inside. you're going to hear other evidence of gunshot residue. you're going to hear that there was gunshot residue with alex at the sink. you're going to hear it was on the seat belt of the car he was driving. you're going to hear evidence that when law enforcement got to the scene, he had gotten that shotgun. you're going to hear other evidence from dna, gunshot residue, a lot of forensic evidence in this case, and i'm not goi

in terms of, how do you move forward, alex? that, 15 or 20 years ago -- immigration was a bipartisan issue. you had folks like george bush, his brother jeb bush, we realize that migration is an issue that affects us, not just in terms of folks coming over to join our workforce but also trade i think it is so frustrating that republicans have just blocked off anyway to work with democrats on migration even though migration is, in theory, a bipartisan issue. >> yeah, it sure is. we will have you talk about this again, no doubt, it is not going away anytime soon -- coming up next, let's talk about the network, where did all of that animosity come from? could modern republicans have done more? hair. as well as the leading luxury bonding treatment. for softness and resilience, without the price tag. if you know... you know it's pantene. second date, wish me luck buddy. mouth to mission control. we have a denture problem. over. roger that. with polident cleanser and polident adhesive refresh and secure for any close encounter. if you

i don't know where alex would point us. but i'm interested in the every day food and how that makes us up in the world. >> fascinating. we are going to take another break and come back ntinue this conversation in just a moment here on mosaic. wonderful conversation about food in the jewish community. what were you thinking, alex, about this notion of every day food and what we eat? >> living in the pay area, i'm so used to, i have so many friends with dietary restrictions and i would say you know, so many of my friends are gluten-free or dairy free or you know, the list goes on. and i had my cousins visiting this past weekend, who grew up on the east coast, at least my cousin did and his wife and son, and my natural inclination was i want to have a bagel brunch. and that is something i never think of doing on a normal weekend. we don't get bagels, even though we have a great bagel shop right down the street. i thought i want lennox and cream cheese. it felt like family. because when i was growing up and we'd be on the east

alex, i'm going to play this comment for you. i'd really be interested on what you take the idea next. the key is paul faith. a 1000000000 population is an important milestone, but what it means is going to vary quite a bit across countries. in developing regions where population is still growing. one main concern is going to be inequality. the paraphrase tend to decline in most of african countries from the top down. and what that means is you have an increasing concentration of activity among the poor. and at a time when the level of education, that rising, where the quality of education in the course of education is rising. what that means is that you're going to have increasing differences in the educational opportunities that are available to children in the upper tier of the income distribution compared to children who come from families that are poor. thanks tony. i think the a couple of things to break down here in what buffet indicates at the 1st is if you look at the countries where fidelity is still very high, women us

thanks for being with us and alex, welcome back to the stream. get to see you again. remind our audience who you are and what you day. i thank you. i mean, thank you for having me back. i'm a professor global health, and it does i school of public health director university and my daughter. i'm a demographic by trending. and previously i found an executive director of the african population health research center in my b. and i also saw on the un high level advisory board for clinical social affairs. i guess it's really hard for me to grapple with 1000000000 people. looks like what that feels like. well, i feel different on november, the 15th, and i do right now, rachel. no, you won't. in civil terms. yeah, this has been a while coming. and yeah, you won't feel much on the 15th of november. jennifer, when we talk about a number like 8000000000. if you're studying population, then you knew it was coming. i remember at school we were usually worried about how many more billions of people can, can survive on the earth. and he, we our 8000000. what d

he told the jury, it does not make sense that alex kill his son.ave been covered in blood, giving the violent nature of the shooting. alex murdaugh was not. >> his head exploded -- he would be covered in blood from head to foot. >> still, the prosecutor did his best to try to place the murder weapon in alex murdaugh 's hand. he says maggie was killed with a shotgun that alex had purchased, a gun that has gone missing. >> you are going to hear forensic evidence that the cases that were found in that -- and the cases that were found across the street at that range were exempted out of the same weapon that fired out of the cases that were around maggie's dead body and killed her. it was a family weapon that killed maggie murdaugh. >> you hear the prosecutor mentioned the audio that was found on murdaugh's cell phone puts alex murdaugh at the scene early in the night. were you able to learn what was on that audio? >> we did, anderson. as you know, alex murdaugh has said he showed up and found his wife and son bleeding and not breathing. and then he cal

welcome rachel and alex. rachel, let's jump in with you and ask , what is this thing idtyteh asses on jewish food and identity. i began by telling my students that food might be the most important subject in the world. all of the time. when i mentioned it, everybody is thinking about it. but it shapes our worlds and it shapes us physically and it shapes who we are. as individuals and communities, as families and as nations. >> it is interesting. alex, you think about food and you talk about food and write about food and you have created this new organization. what is this and what is this thing about food and identity? >> for me it has been interesting since i started this group 3 years ago. they are the not so secret society of they area, jewish food professionals. i created it after writing about jews who work in the food world and realize there are so many of us. and how we identify ? as a rabbi, living in the bay area there are so many jews who are not affiliated and never step foot into jewish institutio

hey, alex. alex: late night, indeed, 14 failed vote over 4 days and tense negotiations to flip more than a dozen holdouts in final tally that took place well after midnight and ended up with speaker mccarthy handed the gavel and met with standing ovation. >> from the great state of california and next speaker of 118th congress kevin mccarthy.

alex murdaugh was was at the defense team crying.amatic start, and this is just the first day of witness testimony. >> he was laying facedown on the ground, a large pool of blood around him. maggie's body also laying face down on the ground, a large pool of blood around her head. >> reporter: detective daniel green was first on the scene after alex murdaugh called 911 the night of june 7th, 2021. >> this is your wife and son? okay. >> reporter: green was the state's first witness. his body cam video was played in court, but mostly shielded from voodoo to its graphic nature. when he first saw alex murdaugh that night, he appeared to be crying. did you observe any visible blood on him? >> there was no blood that i could see. >> when is the last time you heard from him or talked to them or anything like that? >> um, it was earlier tonight. i don't know the exact time. but i left. i was probably gone an hour and a half from my mom's, and i saw them about 45 minutes before that. >> yes, sir, they've already checked them. >> they did check

>> that's right, alex.rles mcdonegal, a very important job, and his job was to protect the united states from improper foreign influence. he is now charged from profiting from foreign influence, both while at the fbi and after he left. he was arrested on the weekend on charges involving two separate cases, one having to do with work after he left the agency, one accusing him of working for foreigners while working for the fbi. the latter case may be the most shocking because prosecutors say while serving in new york he took $225,000 in cash from an individual with business interests in europe who had been an employee of a foreign intelligence service. the indictment alleges he failed to disclose the income as required and there was a conflict of interest essentially with the fbi duties. in the other case prosecutors are saying he worked with russian oligarch deripaska to investigate a rival oligarch, and he tried to conceal his identity through forged signatures and he played a role in investigating deripas

alex? >> i am glad you put that in perspective, sam. i didn't know from which officer that quote came. it did appear that that is exactly, i hope they stop him. now we. no thank you sam, for. that let's go from there to antonia hilton with the latest on community reaction. such troubling times in memphis today, antonia. what is it like? >> that is exactly right. it is troubling, it is tense. here on the days leading up to last night's release, people were imagining that the city was going to burn. they were trying to warn against violence. and, when i've talked to actual residents, actual leaders here. they had faith in the city of memphis. and they had a lot of respect for the grief that they knew all the other people already going through. and that would absolutely be going through once they had to deal with the images we have now seen. and that is what we saw last night. i saw the protesters on the bridge. they were huddled around each other, supporting each, other talking. often they we

alex murdaugh was not. >> his head exploded. he would be covered in blood from head to foot. >> reporter: still the prosecutor did his best to try to place the murder weapon in alex murdaugh's hand. he said maggie was killed with a shotgun alex had purchased, a gun that has gone missing. >> you are going to hear forensic evidence that the cases found in that flower bed and the cases found across the street at that range were ejected out of the same weapon that fired all the cases that were around maggie's dead body that killed her. it was a family weapon that killed maggie murdaugh. >> reporter: alex murdaugh has always said he came upon the boyds, called 911 at 10:07 p.m. but as you heard the prosecutor talking about this 8:44 p.m. audio that is on paul murdaugh's cellphone, we never knew what was on that audio that was recorded on his phone, but for the first time yesterday, the defense old us in court he said they were just talking about it was paul murdaugh and alex murdaugh talking about a dog killing a chicken, there was n

>> alex, this goes back to the first part of a second before.ey were in constant communication with what was going on on the sidelines. okay? and what was going on on the sidelines, what we saw, was horrific. and so what they are telling them and time of the people there, it has to be even much worse than that. and again, this ties into something else. you are talking about a lead, here you've got all these concussion lawsuits and for people who don't know, you know, back about 20 years ago a lot of nfl players were suffering from cte, these head injuries. they were dying from this thing here. and they were pleading with the nfl to do something about, it and they did not do anything until 2016, kicking and screaming when they were forced by the supreme court to settle this thing for a billion dollars with a b. so that just tells you the mindset here. the mindset is always okay, let's hold off here and see if we can salvage the game salvage the situation for profit margin as opposed to listen, the good thing in the best thing to do right now is t

and reality, alex, this is a friendly audience.he invitation of senator -- newly reelected georgia senator reverend warnock. who is the senior passenger here. he was greeted several times by a standing ovation. the congress here this church. also remember georgia is friendly territory to for the president. this is the state that helped lead him to the white house two years ago. flipped blue and helped elect him to the white house two years ago. certainly fitting he is here any speaking and it's very clear that he wanted to tout some of his achievement so far but also made it clear that his speech there was still some ways to go. take a look. >> on us they of remembrance, as we gather here in this church to ebenezer. to commemorate what would have been dr. king's 94th birthday. we gather to contemplate his moral vision. and to commit ourselves to the his path to his path. the path that leads to the beloved community. to the sacred place that sacred our when justice rains down like waters of righteousness. in the mighty stream. >> al

alex and nice, you know. yeah, not a leaders in germany, that power house of europe buds, germany will seen as a green power house, the country that i was moving this continent forward when it comes to green everything. and then you blow up a pipeline and cause more environmental damage. and, you know, the guy can tell, but i don't know how much a lot there's like it was one of the biggest environmental disasters that's happened in a long, long time. who did it? you know, they will never know will never know. you got to keep. i guess they go, not when, but like europe is europe, it's still a step better than what we have back in canada. i can't speak for the united states . i have to qualify myself here. i'm a big supporter of pierre trudeau, the old trudeau, and what he said, which was that what you do, your bedroom is nobody's. i'm feel 100 percent. like not i agree with that 100 percent. but once you start telling people what to do, once you bring transvestite to, to school, to dance around children. once

but alex, i wanted to get your thoughts on this question of privatization. would privatizing some aspects of air travel like air traffic control, for example, in the us would, would that help in fixing some of the problems industry has encountered there? i think it is perhaps too broad over of a blanket approach to take that, that somehow the private sector has all of the answers. i think what would be better is if we, if we had more consistent commitments to these upgrades and, and if we, you know, the good thing is, is that with the current administration in the u. s, we have seen infrastructure investments that stemmed right down and across aviation . and so you know, this is the track that, that is necessary. the funny part is that we often talk about when a child who is disrupted you to outs, geez. and due to glitches many times, these glitches are occurring because of the upgrades that are taking place for 2023 . for the next 12 months, euro control who assist with the site, the skies of europe are ready warning that there will be delays to travel this

sorry, alex, let me give you the last word. cause say this is the wake up call and you know, they should be increased funding to the f a. what do you feel? should be the priorities right now to solve this issue and make sure it doesn't happen again in the near future. but of course, it's inevitable. we're going to see more of these issues, whether or not they're related to the older i t and o to tech, or of course, that ongoing risk of cyber and the cyber attacks that hit the industry daily. what i hope that the global aviation sector, which is so well harmonized takes from this is the importance of ensuring that every, all of the systems are up to date and keeping their infrastructure as, as modern as possible. but also ensuring, as i said earlier, that no countries left behind, you know, the un special agency i k o they want to see in ideation across the world, more personnel who are well versed in both aviation. i'm cybersecurity, but that's going to require investments. so these are conversations that have to be taking plac

>> yes, alex, this is a big development. journal first reported that abbott laboratories was under a federal criminal investigation. we have not been able to confirm the focus of that probe. an average spokesperson did confirmed to the news that the doj as a form of the investigation. they are not fully cooperating. let's backtrack a little bit. in february of 2022, abbott voluntarily shut down production of infant formula from their michigan plant. it was reported that some infant plan had gotten sick. this only deepened the infant formula shortage. they did not find the sort of the bacteria got the infant sick. in may of last year, abbott would lay an's by signing a legal agreement the federal government. the plan would eventually reopen later that summer. it would still be months before the baby formula crisis had stabilized once again. this is a big development with the doj now involved. >> yes. this is something that we are not watch. thank you. let's go now to some stunning revelations. we are at the heart of these sto
