And i cant find a really good reason for that its odd isnt it i mean you see these stories cover theyll get the headlines theyll get the play but you would expect them to be covered as much as you know a donald trump tweet youd expect them to be covered as much as like a kobe bryant you know rape trial for back in colorado although your wall the wall o. J. Simpson style this is a big huge news that goes beyond just sports right and yet you dont see this cover you dont see this you know wall to wall every day wow this is the latest of whats happening and i think because it really it i think it because it hits home and it scares people that institutions can can just turn a blind eye to this whether knowingly or not although i think you really shouldnt be surprised at this point that that these kinds of things go on and its not as if nasir was some kind of angel as if this is the only thing he did wrong i mean. As you said theres not just one charge not just two charges these and even just this case this man away for a very long hes already been sentenced to sixty years in jail on federal child pornography charges you know this round of sentencing where these hundreds so women are getting up to stand up to look him in the eye and tell you know their story what happened what he did to them this is for guilty pleas multiple counts of Sexual Assault i mean theyre estimating could be anywhere another forty mother sixty years added to his already sick i mean this guys going away for a long time which im happy to see because a lot of times in these cases you see the child you know the pedophilia the Child Predator go away for maybe like ten years twenty tops sometimes and it breaks my heart one is two things like that i mean Jeffrey Epstein so what are your fairly you know its absolutely ridiculous to me the biggest most important question of news stories like these is should any culpability fall on the major institutions in this case usa gymnastics or powerful individuals who kind of look the other way when they are when they are involved with or found to be you know employing sexual predators like nasser absolutely absolutely you dont get a free pass he was there long enough for you and now its the same thing that was in the penn state than to pretend as if you had no idea i mean there is a huge difference between did people know that Harvey Weinstein was a criminal rapists no a lot of people didnt they just thought he was a scumbag right and that he was you know a bad person they didnt know they didnt have that information so most of the people were covering it up in this situation there are multiple people at multiple levels and the thing that bothers me is that ive seen this happen. It when i was school age and an incident Something Like this where it was a trainer but it was for the mens mens team and i watched that get covered up so nefariously from the day even like got out. And stories and that part that really hurts because thats what hurts victims thats what hurts fixing these issues one of the two time olympic Gold MedalistMckayla Maroney shes known for being the one who made that face and now i wonder when she was on the stand and now i think maybe thats because she saw him standing there. She wasnt able to speak because her settlement with this is where you know theres culpability you know the u. S. Jim that usa gymnastics had her sign an n. D. A. And i gag order so she wouldnt talk it got to run through the agreement was a confidentiality clause and it not only was a confidential cross call clause but it also said that she would be fined one hundred thousand dollars if she spoke so she wasnt going to be able to speak at this hearing. Without getting fined which is interesting it took some you know hot someone from hollywood to actually step up Model Chrissy Teigen offer to pay one hundred thousand dollar fine for her and actually its interesting because christie again has done a number of things like that were stepping up for women in situation thats really like this and putting our money where our mouth is which is what everyone should do at this point the courts actually did the right thing but usa gymnastics and the u. S. Olympic association doesnt fact need to deal with this and needs to culpability just as the church had to take a culture still if you want to happen then and penn state had to and i would even with your say that the church still hasnt taken all to make culpability for the you know for what they did especially in moving guys around so they wouldnt be charged with this and to me this is one of those things yes the crime as egregious yes no one wants to believe that this could happen in their community or with this you know Great Institution or with this great man the piles around and flies and were jets with movie stars and other moguls but at the end of the day theyre attacking kids what you need to say is enough. Social media is buzzing watchers but not from the latest round of celebrity gossip or political slip in mouth now this week at an unrelated Senate Hearing twitters director of Public Policy and philanthropy carlos. Announced that the company is now working hard to identify and inform individual users if their feed is was or has been exposed to those notorious kremlin propaganda trolls weve all heard so much about or it seems david miller has the story. Amid pressure from capitol hill twitter is exploring how to notify its users that they sold russian propaganda during the two thousand and sixteen election the director of Public Policy for twitter did not elaborate how twitter would do that or if the company would alert users who saw tweets from russian accounts or only those targeted with ads also the question remains of twitter would seek to impose a notification towards r. T. After recently the company has been banned from sponsoring tweets on the site and after sharp criticism that it has failed to respond to lawmakers demands twitters announcement does come amid pressure from capitol hill urging the company to do more to battle allegedly russian this information twitter failed to meet a deadline to answer questions sent from members of congress and previously reported that it found roughly two thousand seven hundred accounts tied to the i r s a and also ran a number of and during the two thousand and sixteen election purchased by r t and democratic senator Richard Blumenthal has been a sharp critic of all social media concerning meddling and wants the platforms to notify all users who had willingly viewed what he calls russian propaganda twitter pushed r. T. For a large ad buy for the two thousand and sixteen u. S. Election but the channel did decline the offer an exclusive twitter offer was eventually declined by r t due to the excessive price tag and a lack of confidence on behalf of r t that this campaign would benefit the network. Correspondent david miller with interesting point you know this just so gets under my skin at this point because im sorry with the amount of money that the democrats Republicans Party spent on this election in social media ad buys probably got far more influenced by something coming out of the hillary camp or the trump camp than some independent troll factory just basically by getting putting out click bait per click so they can to pit the longer its so absolute. Ridiculous this propaganda this russian propaganda scare that theyre seeing here its like the war on christmas is about israel and to be exploited weve been wrong with it again it goes back to that you get that feeling in the back of your mind are you guys just still looking for some kind of an excuse than like from here on out because now the big twenty eight what will happen twitter users so stupid that theyll fall for this to me its like the its like now the. Campaign failed because i didnt do a good job i can blame somebody else i can blame trip twitter trolls i can blame the democrats for telling people that i most ski individual tried to date children you know theres so many you somebody things well i think its interesting because fundamentally congress and members of congress do not understand how the internet works they do not understand how social media works because by this continued like well we cant have this we can invest this you know the Internet Research group magical there are so great that they cant hide themselves from twitter apparently theyre so good they can change minds of people those millions and millions of votes and minds get into them but thats some serious return on investment for Online Advertising and quite frankly i think that Hillary Clinton should have used the Internet Research company. And she might have won. I dont really think i think this is sort of what is that strange thing of saying at some point you have to look at it like if this is this is our newspaper state and this is just the newspaper stand of of you know the the twenty First Century if you start saying what can be sold on those newspaper stands which is essentially what theyre saying but you cant put a russian newspaper or a chinese newspaper you cant but that if we started doing that we would be appalled that you would be telling people well they cant see that newspaper because it says bad things that we dont think are true about america so we have to take it off the stands theres something tangible to that was social media people look at it like its not as tangible its just this a family thing that you can just protect in a little bubble and manipulate and manipulate. I think thats i think its just as unfair you shouldnt be telling people that is our choice to make as americans that is a god given or gods given whatever you believe in or an atheist the universe gave us these things as human beings these are our liberties these are our freedoms yes thats ours to do with what we choose not when its not are you but you dont get to tell me what im supposed to think and you dont get to say i cant read something i cant look at something and that i think it brings up the bigger thing where does this all this does feel like you know this new pressure on social Media Companies to root out fake news and i like all of that its like leave it up educate the audience to be able to tell the difference between whats real and whats fake and then but let it be out there because this to me seems like backdoor censorship at the end of the day all right as we go to break or quarters dont forget to let us know what you think of the topics weve covered on facebook and twitter and see our poll shows at our dot com coming up we present part two of johns going to be with office of the survival of the richest jeffrey i want to miss that so. There you go the bill economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education being supplanted by the right to access education alone Higher Education is becoming just another product that can be born and sold but its not just about education anymore its also about running a business where you could. Literally couldnt we. Want is the place of students in this Business Model before college i was born now im an extremely bored high educate. For the new Global Economic war. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics Small Business im show business ill see you then. Everybody im Stephen Baldwin gosh task hollywood guy you know suspect every proud american first of all im just George Washington and r. V.

With the Islamic State in its many confederates defeated or facing defeat in syria what is next for this war torn country what justification exists for the u. S. To maintain military forces there does washington want syria partition itself and why. Thank you. Thank. You it was the most populist of times it was the greediest of times and they quite make sense in our conflicting world where socialism populism and unrivaled corporate greed seem to thrive all it wants in a world where the hottest Political Trends setters are the socialist stirrings fueled by Bernie Sanders and the populist undertones of Donald Trumps twenty sixteen campaign yet a resurgent wall street blooms on the news of what many may call the biggest corporate giveaway in modern history just when it feels like were magically taken back to a centuries old Popular Economics movement pioneered by William Jennings bryan and he long the public wakes up once more to a policy making team dominated by you guessed it the omnipresent wise guys from Goldman Sachs so in a complicated world like ours who are the politicians. A true populace can turn to for inspiration this is just what shuts down asked of Donald Jeffries author of survival of the richest well there not too many of them left in congress i love Cynthia Mckinney who was in congress but she was run out of congress i love Dennis Kucinich he was in congress hes not there any longer either. Im not sure there are very many im sure that i dont keep up with the politicians much that he was there because ive become very disillusioned with them but. On that issue as far as i know he longs out there i mean there was talk about you long think of a whole chapter huey long and you look at most people will not even have heard of him unless theyre from louisiana certainly he was considered a bit like i do say a populist right maybe that child as my of the present day might you know be compared to huey long but his whole you know concept of basically trying to create a socialist but really noble the working man the poor to make every man a king was a slogan. What were the positives of his regime as as governor well you can look online and see this stats from the he long website that he saved and this is why it would differentiate him between from an f. D. R. Who he came to oppose strongly or later like an l. B. J. And his Great Society and so forth he didnt he wasnt looking to create big bureaucracies he wanted to change the tax code dramatically and thats what he didnt we see and i mean he average family so i mean i have the stats in there but they saw significant savings and utility bills foreclosures pretty much stopped personal property taxes were eliminated for almost everyone in the state only the very wealthy pay them anymore so the average family saw savings whereas under like l. B. J. Type of plan the average family didnt notice that this is war and poverty was obviously lost there whatever war was going on but he wants tax plan hes been hes been derided as a communist or socialist when in fact the American Communist Party the American Socialist Party hated him in fact the left hates. When he looks like he was really walking the walk of what the left claims it wants to do with his tax plan to share the wealth plan and he wanted to exempt the first Million Dollars that income from taxes and this was in the one nine hundred thirty s. Thats about twelve million now so just imagine i mean everyone would love i mean what rich person would love that plant to not pay any taxes so virtually no one would wind up paying taxes under his plan he recognized where the money wise it was concentrated at the one percent of the one percent and thats who he was looking to go after and thats why he was much more dangerous than f. D. R. Or any other kind of left as of this time because he he was really doing things and people to put thats why the poor and he didnt play racial politics on like any other southerner it was time. He was just he was honest and hes my political hero and i wish we had someone like him and he was he was populism defined. Do you think you could apply this kind of mean you know obviously huey long was assassinated he was never able to really make to really make a presence on the National Stage but do you think that there is a pop inability for anyone at this point in our history in the way that our government is designed and its just so interconnected between be congressional and you know the congressional class the major corporations that finance them the presidency as well its sort of its sort of been a strip in emasculated is there any way for any for anyone to get to a position of being you know an f. D. R. A kennedy at this point and say we are going to make reforms that would impact the entire country for the benefit of the taliban while i think the country is so deeply divided and you have perhaps you have the people that are still supporting trump i mean that conservative base who hated him they began with this kind of now coalesce behind him the people that like this plan and you have the people on the left that are i call the social Justice Warrior types that are there in their own little thing its hard to find anyone that would agree on that but i think if someone came up with a tax plan that said the first twelve Million Dollars for. In the first million today where you dont pay any taxes i dont know who would support that especially if you showed it could work i mean he long had economists that show because the money is consolidated top and people realize how much money is and he was also looking already at the time it foundations and things like that we look at the Gates Foundation the Rockefeller Foundation the Carnegie Foundation things like that we dont even know how much wealth is in there let alone what theyre doing but so you have to free up money to go to the masses so they can spend it and live like he long wanted to he wanted everyone to enjoy the blessings of you know prosperity things grates if you read his speeches today or listen to him hes fascinating the stuff he was saying is that he was advocating a thirty maybe twenty hour work week in the one nine hundred thirty s. He wanted everybody to have a month off vacation every year he was and he was responsible because of the pressure in life for the one hundred thirty eight and the National Labor relations act which we take for granted now thats what adopted the forty hour work week and overtime and started the pension started now theyre being eliminated of course but these are the things that were all especially republicans theyre wanting to eliminate a lot of these things they would love to get rid of over time and thats the way people make more money and. I think that standard is because he long would not believe what was going on now because you know theyre going to get rid of these things would be disastrous i think what he was forcing i mean his whole point was look we have Greater Technology already this was the one nine hundred thirty s. But hes basically weve got a technology we should you know you would think that we that would allow for us to have more leisure time to have you know to depend more on machinery and not upon manual labor and man hours to get as much output and yet we have to this day we have people having to work more hours for less money and it just doesnt make sense but the overall. Internet and machinery revolution that weve seen across the board why is it that people are having to do so much more labor if we have them in the technology to actually as we know its make things so much more rapid actually give us more leisure time or relaxation it doesnt make any sense the main the main benefit of all this technology in the last twenty thirty years has been the incredibly zech it a Bonus Program that seems to be how much of a bonus can they get every year goldman braless things like that but youre right i mean with the technology we should probably have a ten hour workweek by this point because there are you know theres theres not with with the dances weve made and theyre not even considering the impact its going to have on them with the Artificial Intelligence out there they dont even have automated trucks on it but there are so many jobs that can be done now without any human beings but again we dont have any foresighted leadership at all theyre not even thinking about what the impacts are they just kind of cavalierly say well you know maybe ten million truckers will lose their jobs or something wont one of those truckers going to do for a living then i mean its great i guess but. And thats why i think probably benchley were going to have to come down there and i know its not going to happen for half of this country but you know if the economy goes down the drain americans may eventually come to agree to adopt some kind of modified universal income or something because that and thats why thats kind of ideas been floated out there because theyre just not going to be enough jobs for the people there so you can either let people die in the streets or you can come up with some kind of basic income and i never thought i would you know advocate Something Like that but i dont see any other way to do it because the way society is going i mean salaries are dropping for the average citizen when half the country is making a wage that can barely get a one bedroom apartment in most areas i dont know you know the dream of having a home in our own in your own home with the real estate impact of the tax law i mean there are so many things that are going the wrong direction its just trying not to be too cynical about it but i dont see anything happening that thats positive a very little and. I think that the universal income actually makes a lot of sense when it comes down to it but the other question then becomes you almost always critics are going to go back to this issue of people who criticize those who are on the dole and theyre lazy and dont want to work but you know what fascinates me is where is where do our taxes actually go because its really not going out to people on welfare it really is not its going much more to massive government bureaucracy as we know it a massive military industrial intelligence complex no we dont and with those budgets are still sitting really know how much money is spent on the intelligence agencies but youre right and i thats why what i dont fall into the left right paradigm and most people would you know right in this book they probably call me a communist but im im far left far right whatever im on different issues im a populist and. You know when you have the kind of situation you have you have to look at things i think you know independently and look at each issue and right now were just were not doing things the right way and i think we did have awful leadership top and i think its short sighted and its basically baby. And whether its you know ignoring the crisis is going to come in Social Security and all the baby boomers retire and theres not enough money going into the system but i mean that that goes back to the o. B. J. And certainly to reagan it started dipping in the Security Fund but were already here was one of the republicans dropped i guess a hand rubio i guess it was dropped a hint that this is the plan is to is to eventually get rid of security in medicare so how i mean i dont understand what they think is going to happen to because their pensions have been all but eliminated the idea is to work yourself to death weve already seen that yeah you know people retiring older and older ages they you know the spread of cancers and other diseases and when he was living on long enough to enjoy their retirement its a its a very scary world for a lot of people and it is and i think that there are usually these these are typical solution of these things is lets keep it then to keep raising the retirement age and then eventually thats what it will come down to because thats the only thing they can think of they want to address the real situation which is i mean if Something LikeSocial Security you should be means testing and theyre all in the people or us whatever rest of taxes security is it only taxes the first hundred nineteen thousand dollars in income so bill gates and Warren Buffett people are paying tax on one hundred nineteen thousand dollars and thats i dont i dont understand democrats dont make much of an issue of it either want small they say a few things but i dont know what why isnt you know all the income is taxed you know for other purposes why isnt it taxed for that and as ross perot floated back in ninety two he wanted to voluntarily so i dont need security why my take it but they are p. And they went nuts over him he was attacked yeah that was just for saying he was advocating voluntary means testing where we cant get that done i dont know i said the country is divided and i understand half of the half of the country or more is going to be opposed to a lot of what im saying in the book and certainly anyone thats doing well should read it all i hope they do i hope they do yeah don thanks so much for joining me to talk about some of the richest thank you frank. Well. The same cold air from the same storm eleanor that blew one hundred mile per hour Gale Force Winds across the alpine slopes of italy left a rare present on the sands of the Sahara Desert the European Space agencys Copernicus Sentinel two satellites these images of the tangerines. Snow in the sahara one of the hottest places on earth is not unheard of but extremely rare having only occurred four times in the last forty years which makes sense that only it almost never gets below forty degrees fahrenheit during january now the sahara is the largest hot desert and the Third Largest desert in the world after antarctica and the arctic thats right antarctica and the arctic are technically deserts. Sadly unlike those desert snow doesnt last very long in the sahara the sixteen inches melted by nightfall so when the weather seems to be getting a little flaky try to remember theres no way around a.
