A new food stamp rule says if the tensions go back more than you dont work, you dont eat. But what if you live in an area where jobs are scarce . 60 years, when the u. S. Led avee under a new Trump Administration rule, nearly 700,000 people will , back in after the coup, iranbs lose access to the supplemental peiabut in 1979, the u. S. Backed shah was overthrown during the islamic revolution. Nutrition assistance program, or he was replaced by the hardline snap, also commonly known as food stamps. Cleric ayatollah khomeini, who became irans supreme leader. The new rule targets people labeled abawds ablebodied during the revolution, a group adults without dependents, under of College Students who age 50, who are either unemployed or working less than supported the ayatollah, stormed the u. S. Embassy in tehran. 20 hours per week. Under federal law, they only they held 52 americans, mostly diplomats, hostage for 444 days. Qualified for three months of benefits in a threeyear period. But historically, states have their release didnt ease had the power to waive the work the relations between the u. S. And iran. Requirement and the threemonth time limit. In the 1980s, the u. S. The new rule makes it harder for states to qualify for those supported a rack and in 1988, u. Waivers. Ed bolen is with the center on budget and policy priorities. Warship shot down an iranian passenger jet over the persian its so nice to have you. Gulf,ng a 290 on board. Ed thanks for having me. Soledad you study snap, so give the u. S. Says it mistook the me up a picture, a profile of plane for a military jet. Who these folks are. Are they people who are sitting fastforward to the 21st on a couch just refusing to get jobs, refusing to get full time nuclear weapons. The sanctions devastated irans jobs, and hanging out, and them of secretly developing economy. In 2013, iran elected a new,an essentially are lazy folks . Ed well, i think its important rouhani. In a phone call with president ao to note that they are very poor. Theyre among the poorest americans. Their average income is 2250 a year. Improve u. S. Iran relations. It was the highest level communication between the two countries in more than two so they are motivated to work. Decades. They work when they can. And in fact, what we find is two years later, iran agreed to freeze its Nuclear Program in exchange for easing sanctions. People who are able to work on that agreement was known as the snap typically work either while joint comprehensive plan of theyre on snap or before action. Theyre on snap. They lose their job, and they President Trump said the turn to Food Assistance for agreement was flawed because iran only agreed to halt its help. Nuclear program for 15 years. Soledad so the president would he said that wasnt enough. Say and has said, listen, the so, in may of 2018, trump economy is booming. Unemployment is low. Jobs are plentiful. Somebody who does not want a job unilaterally withdrew the u. S. From the agreement and reimposed tough economic sanctions on iran. Now in the wake of the soleimani someone who isnt working, or killing, iran says it wont is only working 20 hours a week. Adhere to any restrictions of that agreement. When we return, a mor hit spo they do not want to work. And essentially that this will help them help encourage them often to work. Is there truth to that . Ed these folks are struggling 24 miles per hour. To find work, and they do work when we return, a mor hit spo 24 miles per hour. What could possibly go wrong . When they can, at least looking at their records. What we find is that this big thing i recently learned as a parent . Population tends not to have much education. Babys skin is absorbent. They may not have graduated from high school. Her skin could actually soak up wetness her diaper doesnt. Many of them have barriers to work. They might have a physical limitation or a mental thats gross. Limitation that doesnt make them attractive to employers. Thats why i use pampers. Pampers absorbs quickly to trap and lock wetness away. They could have trouble with cars and transportation. Keeping your babys skin drier and healthier. So theyre usually working, working when they can, and usually struggling to find for a diaper that stays drier, count on pampers. Stable employment. Soledad how many people on snap the health of your babys skin break the rules or defraud snap . Starts with the pampers theyre in. The mythology around snap is that everybody is going out and girls on the floor gotta thirty point lead and a minute left using their money to get lobster and shrimp and steak for meals, queens on the team in real life not just on the internet and if the taxpayers are funding all strength, we aint stoppin believe me that, they do not feel go straight till the morning look like we comfortable with that. Ed there is very little fraud wont wait, were taking everything we wanted we can do it in snap. There is an Extensive Program to all strength, no sweat monitor that and the administration is quite aggressive in going after usually it is the retailers, all strength, no sweat actually, that are in a fraudulent scheme, but theyre pretty active at going after them. Soledad and how much money is under snap . What are we talking about money wise for someone over an entire day . Ed the average benefits about four and half dollars a day. So that might be enough for three meals. It might not be. Soledad so a dollar something or something. Ed yeah. 1. 63, 1. 70 or so soledad per meal. Ed per meal. Soledad much lower than i would have thought. Ed not a lot. Its a supplemental nutrition assistance program. Thats thats what snap stands for, and it really is supposed to help people add to their budgets. Soledad do you think this is the beginning, the tip of the iceberg of cutting back on snap . Like right now, dependents in theory are not being targeted. But do you think this is just sort of opening up the door to do more on that front . Ed unfortunately, i think it is. Theres actually a proposed rule that the administration put out that would cut benefits for 3. 1 io children, as well as seniors and disabled individuals. So were worried its quite an attack on poor people who need Food Assistance. Soledad ed bolen, thank you very much for your time. We appreciate it. Ed thank you. Next on matter of fact, with 60 years of tension, where does the u. S. Iran crisis go from here . Soledad finally, a chair on plus, an asteroid on a collision course with earth . Wheels could change how we all get around town. Soledad so when we think of segway announced their new spod. Asteroids and meteorites, i its a spin off of the original think of armageddon. Segway, but instead of standing, you sit. Nasa Scientists Say they dont want to miss a thing with and its faster, with a top the next asteroid alert. The next asteroid alert.

According to nasa, it was within 780,000 miles of our planet which equals roughly about three times the distance from the earth to the moon. Thats still pretty far. The rock would have exploded if it hit our atmosphere, but that doesnt mean we would have been m robert handa, your host for our show here in the clear. In 2013, a similarsized asteroid that exploded over a risktakers, and a very special city in russia reportedly shattered windows and injured 1500 people. Young man being awarded for those qualities after developing scientists are currently tracking nearly 20,000 ways to help the visually impaired. Asteroids, cometobs,cts, and fih and no matter how much we all depend on social media, we need libraries and librarians. Day. Nasa is on a mission to intercept the asteroids before today, a San Francisco woman who just won a national they can become a threat to our i love my librarian award. Planet. James green is the chief then innovative artist Judy Shintani returns to talk scientist at nasa, and hes back about her latest groundbreaking exhibit at the Triton Museum of art in santa clara. Thanks. Jim thank you very much. Great to be here. And we wrap up with imagine talks, a conference in oakland soledad thank you. So you call them near Earth Objects, n. E. O. s, and we call that brings together asianamerican entrepreneurs, them asteroids or comets. Artists, and community leaders. All that on our show today. Things that come a little bit too close to for my comfort, certainly. What exactly are they what are they made of . How do they come to us . Jim well, they actually come out of the asteroid belt, which is an area between mars and jupiter, where a planet was trying to form. But the gravitational as an example, heres one. This is what we call an iron meteorite. It came from the asteroid belt. Jupiter moved this whole body inward, and then it started crossing our orbit until the earth came by and ran into it. Now, this came from a much bigger object. The atmosphere. Soledad so when we think of asteroids and meteorites, i think of armageddon, i think of the whole point is, oh, myst i mean, are these the issues that youre dealing with . If we cant figure out how to track them and they enter the earths atmosphere, that theoretically it could be absolutely devastating for life. Jim yes, indeed. We we track these. 20,000 near Earth Objects out of 20,000 near Earth Objects. Out of that saet, theres about 900 of them that are huge, that are a kilometer and larger. These are the ones that we really are taking a good look at. Soledad weve been hit before, right . Jim oh, absolutely. In fact, the area all around our orbit is really pretty dirty. We get about 100 tons of meteoric material falling into the atmosphere every day. Soledad whats been the worst strike that weve had . Jim the worst one was 65solede believe killed all the dinosaurs. Jim yes. Actually, its about 85 of all life there. And what happens is, that six kilometer body hit the yucatan peninsula, and so it was water and land. And that material left the you know, it was vaporized, immediately, went through the atmosphere, and many hundreds of kilometers out into space, until the earths gravity starts pulling it back in. Then what happens is a cloud forms all around the earth as it spins, reflects the light from the sun. And that just disrupts the food environment. So not only was the devastation in and around the area of the impact and all the all the species and life forms were killed, but it actually comes it becomes a global phenomena. Soledad so then what are the chances that that could happen again, realistically . Jim well, those are on the million year kind of timescales. Ok, so we know these 900 objects that are what are big planet killers, if you will, you know, were tracking them, watching them very carefully. So were really pretty good shape for the next couple hundred years. But theres a number of them that are kind of questionable. In fact one, were we have a spacecraft there now. Its called benue. Its about half a kilometer in size. You know, so if it hit the washington, d. C. Washington, d. C. Area, take everything out within the beltway. That would all be vaporized, and then a significant portion of the states around it, let alone having some sort of Global Effect which may last for several years. Soledad ok. So not making me feel better. It makes me feel more anxious. So besides tracking them. What is the capability of moving them out of the orbit . So im not just saying like, yep, here it comes. Good luck, everybody. Jim so weve started a process called Planetary Defense. Ok, we actually have the Planetary Defense office, which has been workihranalyses lookine meteorites and what theyre made of and about how to move them. If you can take one and hit it and move it, then over time its trajectory will be very different and miss the earth. Soledad were at a stressful time right now, obviously, not just in this country, but i think around the globe. Where would you put this worry for people . Is this not something that people should be concerned about, an asteroid thats going to somehow get through the tracking system, which has its holes. Is it not a concern . Jim it is not a concern. You know, our generation and our grandkids, etc. We really have, i think, this well in hand in terms of finding these objects and then recognizing that theyre not oblem over the next several hundred years. The key is that we still have to monitor the area. Jupiter is still throwing things out of the asteroid belt. And, you know, bigger ones may come along. And we havent found havent found all the ones wed like to see. Although we are looking at 20,000 of them right now, is about 60,000 that we feel we absolutely have to find in over the next 10 years. Well be able to find those. Soledad i ask that question like it was for everybody, but really for me. James green, its always nice to have you. Nice to see you. Thanks for being with us. When we come back i asked her what her last words would be. She told me i can finally put down the knife. From heartfelt to humorous. I one man helped thousands share their stories of do you have concerns about mild memory loss related to aging . Prevagen is the number one pharmacistrecommended memory support brand. You can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. Prevagen. Healthier brain. Better life. Soledad a picture is worth a thousand words. But sometimes a picture tells one truth. Thats the goal of the global storytelling project called dear world. The striking portraits feature people with messages written on their bodies, like this. I would take all the bullets for you. Thats the message from a mother to her daughter, alyssa, a victim of the Parkland School massacre. Others are more ambiguous some are meant to make you laugh. Like this one. That says i took the chicken out of the freezer. Dear world is a collection of more than 100 thousand photos taken around the world. This started as a passion project for Robert Fogarty then quickly morphed into something bigger. I recently talked to him about that journey. So nice to have you. Robert thank you for having me. You bet. Soledad so explain to me how it really began. When did you first get an inkling of having somebody write on their body and then take a photo of it to send a bigger message . Ories, it starts in a bar in new orleans. Soledad a lot of good stories do start that way actually. Robert you know, we we were in a lot of young, Young Students right out of college. I was in the americorps and i the super bowl, we started to ask people to write why they loved the city and added the element of having the first line written on peoples bodies. So the precursor to dear world was actually called dear new orleans. Soledad it has taken off. I mean, i remember we first met actually in new orleans and you had me write something on my hand and took a photo of it. How do you know what are the stories in the places that you want to camp out to pull out some of those important stories . Robert our mission is we connect people through their meaningful stories. Ne in the last 10 years te now cover stories that i think are generational in their impact, but doing it in a little different way than traditional journalism. So i like to think of all of these portraits truly as just only they can tell. Ledad i want to walk through body is the lead to a story that some of the the big stories that many people know that youve gone down to cover. Lets talk about pulse, because those photos are they are beautiful, and they are just heartbreaking. I wish they could have answered their cell phones. Robert thats omar delgado. Omar was one of the first officers on site and the club that night. And if you asked him why he wrote that, hell tell you about being in the club for three hours. And of course, now breaking news breaks very quickly and people who passed away that night, their phones started to ring. And omar will tell you that the most difficult part of that night was knowing that he was the of the only people to know soledad you went to india to robert so we decided to do a series with women whove either moved to varanasi to live out their days where hindus go to die. They believe that if they are if they die in varanasi, they skip reincarnation and go straight to heaven. Soledad theres a woman who wrote, i can finally put down my knife. Robert yeah, thats sheila. And i asked her and often we try and put pointed questions to the portrait. And i asked her what her last words would be. And through an interpreter, of course, she told me i can finally put down the knife. She carries a knife around everywhere she goes for protection. And shes looking forward to finally being able to put soledad how many people have been impacted by dear world . If you had to guess. Robert its a great question. Soledad me. A couple others. Robert i think if the thesis is you affect at least the people whove taken the photographs and then through there some order of magnitude, i think its i think i think its pretty big. Soledad the photos are absolutely beautiful. And the words, i think, make the photo even more meaningful. Robert fogarty, so nice to have you. Thanks for joining. Robert thanks for the opportunity. Coming up, sidewalks are about to get a bit more crowded. Are you ready to roll into the future with the spod . Between the us and iran
