so general motors was born in flint, and they still have plants in flint.nd a full year prior to my research coming out, general motors knew that this water was corroding their engine parts. it was actually corroding the parts in their manufacturing plant, and they got a bypass to go back to great lakes water. >> it was corroding their engine parts. god knows what it did to children's insides. so what caused the governor and the state, the city, to reverse course? >> ultimately our science spoke truth to power, and they looked back and conceded and noted that even in their own data, yes, children had increased lead levels. and from that moment on, we have been moving forward to hope and to recovery. so, you know, this book and this story has terrible lessons, and those need to be shared. but more importantly the story is meant to make everybody outraged, but meant to inspire folks to speak up in their communities, especially on behalf of children just as we are doing. >> i just want to play for you that part of his press conference that the governor apologi

you need to pay attention to flint. second reason is, i wanted an immigrant story of an arab-american that wasn't about war and terrorism. it was about immigrant coming to this country fleeing oppression, i was that little brown girl and i acclimated to this country and achieved the american dream, what are we losing out of right now. and i also wanted to write the book as a way to give back. part of the proceeds go to our flint kids fund. we have a lot of long term work to do and i want to make sure we can do that. >> i think of the original iteration of muslim ban and iraq would be one of them -- >> i wouldn't be here. >> and lord knows what would have happened to flint by now. >> absolutely. >> in terms of what's happening in the city right now. there was a little bit of burst of national publicity recently when the state announced it wasn't going to support bottled water. what's going on now? >> it's being supported by nonprofits, some churches. but the recommendation is still to be on bottled or filtered water. we'

of flint's water. joyce's son's name is joseph. he was a father of three and as any of us would, he believed the water that he drank, bathed and cook with, the water he gave to his children was clean. he had no reason to believe otherwise. but after the city of flint changed its water source from detroit's water system to flint iver in 2014 to cut costs, joseph began to develop rashes and bacteria that ate away at his flesh. forcing him to tape his skin together on his face and on his back with band-aids. it was so bad that his doctors kept asking him if he had traveled to a third-world country recently. where in the world he had been that had caused his organs to deteriorate as rapidly as they were? ,, leaving behind his three children and his family and his mother, joyce, who continues to keep his memory alive. joseph's story is tragic and heartwrenching and the sad part is this is not a one-off case. samples of drinking water from flint found 13,000 parts per billion of lead in the community's water

the flint water wasn't treated properly. children. and the blood lead data we looked at was based on screening data which is done at the ages of 1 and 2, when you worry about lead in dust and soil and paint, not lead in water. because it's significantly retards brain development. >> lead is a known potent irreversible neurotoxin. it impacts cognition. iq levels, behavior. we now know based on incredible science there is no safe level of lead exposure at all. >> a small part, too, but so many knew about this. that's the thing. when you raise the flag you're called irresponsible, unfortunate researcher, causing near hysteria, splicing and dicing the numbers. >> lots of folks knew about this crisis. many, many red flags. just a few months after we switched this water source, general motors, born in flint, stopped using this water because it was corroding engine parts. imagine that. corrodesing engine parts. what is it doing to body? >> you're being discredited in public. in american life, there are a lot of people who are not s

. >>> when one woman came out about the water crisis in flints, michigan, she wanted -- flint, michiganlp. now at 12 years old, she created a product that removes leads in water and wants others to make a difference in their own communities. >> science can make a big difference. anywhere from a simple reaction to a big experiment. if you just find the right application. science can save the world. i'm 12 years old. i'm a scientist. i invented a device that detects lead in water faster than any other current techniques out there today. i was appalled by the number of people affected by lead in water during the flint water crisis. i wanted to do something to change this for the residents of flint and places all over the world. my device includes a core device and disposable cartridge with the carbon in a tube sensor. you dip the disposable cartridge into the water you want to test. you pull out your phone, open up the application, and connect over bluetooth to get the results of safe, slightly contaminated, or critical of lead levels in your water. my advice to other kids who want to save

up there when flint i isoned, but you don't go there when flint is not poisoned. not a great white menace. you know how many people were at charlottesville? you know how many of these racist baboons were there? i don't know, the media never bothered to count. it's not true. 9 million of them voted for obama and 4 million blacks have decided not to votese the are not going with the establishment elite cricket hillary, they just weren't doing it. so again, it's about jobs, it's about work. and i know unemployment is low, but what is it paying? what are wages really doing? how come so many people live in apartments? it serious out there and it goes all the way from boston to bakersfield. take a look and spend some time, some real time. >> what do you think the biggest story is we are missing? >> and live, i think it's a house of card again. the writer, your timing is wrong again. you are trying to make decisions and look at britain and austria, the whole word is sort of shak it's a very scary place to get to. >> i can't quite put it into words but i know that you are

host: kathy also brought up flint, michigan.an you talk about the state of water safety and infrastructure in flint? guest: sure. certainly water safety is very important in terms of protecting all of michigan. we have put in an investment, and the governor wants to ask that management plan so that we can link up because infrastructure is not just roads. it is also our pipes, our sewer, our water. you had a failure on the government in flint at all levels. the elected body of flint was not being able to address their local needs. as a result, they had to have an emergency manager brought in, and there were mistakes made, no doubt at the local level. unfortunately a simple additive was not added come which the people that were monitoring it, the people on the ground that did the water safety program should have added that simple additive. as a result my you saw the state huge tragedy with regards to lead leaching into our pipes because of the biggest -- because basic corrosion -- becauseere not basic corrosion tactics were not in

and the fact that the flint water crisis can come and go so quickly and with no action either from the president from congress when when that happened it's it's sort of amazing that we live in a world that is that i mean they want even protect their own they were targeting the active military members of bases from this kind of stuff right because they're just i mean they're they're tools they're not people i mean that's how you dehumanize them fire bunch of people is hey we're going to do these things that we're going to put you on really i mean we've heard about the burn pits we've heard about p.t.s.d. and now we find out that the defense department is going to face to face is a major contamination risk. more than six hundred military sites six hundred military sites so who knows how many people are in each of those due to these chemicals being used in fire fighting foam but it seems that it's really only fire fighting from that's the kind that they're using there so congress had at least that you said reported to congress that one hundred twenty six water systems on or near military

i wanted to do something to change this for the residents of flint and places like flint all over theosable cartridge. you dip this disposable cartridge into the water you want to test, pull out your phone, open up the application and connect over bluetooth to get the results of safe, slightly contaminated or critical of lead levels in your water. my advice to other kids who want to save the world is do not be afraid to try it. i failed for or five times but i got back into the lab, did it again and it was like the aha moment when everything kind of started coming together and the device was born. i think that science allowed me to look at different approaches to solve real-world problems out there today. it's important to take other people's problems and make something to help them with it. mainly because we're all one big community and it's our duty to help other people. >>> all this week, we've been telling the stories of extraordinary people and organizations that are making a difference. anderson cooper traveled to haiti to reunite with dr. jane arens in, the founder of worldwide

election happened, the trump team came in and made it pretty clear they did not want to remain in flint and they did not want to continue forward the work we had done in the affordable care act. so i knew i couldn't stay in government and help them sort of take away coverage from folks, so that's how i made the decision to come home. illinois was a state that expanded medicaid. that was a way to continue being involved in the medicaid space. so when i got back, i attended our congressman's one and only public event of the year, 2017, it was a question and answer session in a community called st. charles, which is outside of chicago, and that evening he made a promise to only support a version of obamacare repeal, which would allow people with pre-existing conditions to keep their health care coverage. as a nurse, i know how important it is for people who have chronic illnesses to have access to medications and procedures if they need it. obviously, i worked on the affordable care act in my early part of my career, i believe in it, and i have a pre-existing condition myself, it's a heart

was as a social worker at wayly children's center in my -- waley children's center in my hometown of flint, protecting kids who had been victims of child abuse. and we knew then as we know now, the best place ultimately for those kids is to get them back in their family. we worked to reunite kids with their families. and so it's particularly offensive to see the president of the united states, the government of the united states adopt policy that intentionally separates children from their families. this is child abuse. this is child abuse. nothing else. the notion that a government would engage in this practice ought to offend everyone, and the idea that the president is congratulating himself for ending a policy that he himself ordered to separate children seeking asylum in this country from their families is ridiculous. and those who have sat silent as this has happened are complicit in this policy. and now today we'll take up two pieces of legislation, neither of which deal substantially with the immigration problem. my god in heaven, let's get this done. i yield back. the speaker pro

but the funny thing happened when flint, michigan, happened, everybody knows flint, right? i said to myself, why did this not get race up earlier? it wasn't because they were not good people listening to it's because poverty is actually the biggest environmental challenge we face. it's the biggest reason for instability. this inequity, inequity in a democracy like we're seeing today is unstable. it raises concerns. and so when you look at flint, michigan, i said to myself, , wy am i not hearing this? and it's because two things, is the community itself wasn't speaking up. when it did we didn't hear. when we heard, we thought it was the state. they told surfing was fine. if it wasn't flint i doubt it would've taken anywhere near that length of time to realize that there was a problem there. we have to figure out a way to give voice to people that don't have it. and to figure out how they can demand the same levels of protection that anybody else is experiencing. when flint, michigan, happened i issued this policy that sort of set people on their heads a a little bit. because
