One nursing home he was. Totally dry and two you couldnt even talk to my mothers name is laura sprinkler shes seventy five years old when we went to see her she wouldnt talk she wouldnt laugh she wouldnt cry she wouldnt do anything she would just sit and stare like she wasnt even there if you have dementia and somebody in a nursing facility doesnt understand what your needs are you could be given an antipsychotic drug and you end your life not being yourself not being understood and theres no reason that this should happen according to the study almost one hundred eighty thousand people mostly with dementia are given anti psychotic drugs each week drugs are often administered without the consent of residents or their relatives. Patricia mcginnis who advocates nursing home reform says the use of anti psychotic drugs poses a real threat to the lives of people with dementia. At least one hundred seventy nine thousand people every week who are treated and who have dementia who are treated with antipsychotic drugs. Its easier to drug somebody up its less expensive than having adequate staff we have very weak and force but system in this country certainly in california its weak so one of the ways to control people and control behavior people who have dementia is to give them and i psychotic drugs even the f. D. A. Has noted that your when you give somebody with dementia antipsychotic drugs you have a two times higher chance of death it can cause people to like you said before to become zombies or psychotic drugs can cause death and i psychotic drugs can cause heart palpitations and heart issues with people we really have to look at what is informed consent and make it National Make it at a federal level that this isnt form consent and unless and until you have that from every Single Person every single resident or their representative you simply cannot prove give anybody one of these kinds of drugs. Call ins rollercoaster ride continues falling to below six thousand dollars on choose state down from twenty thousand last december bus despite signs of a mass selloff the cryptocurrency continues to attract global interest. My. Well rapid rise a bit coin last year drew comparisons with the truly bubble in the netherlands back in the seventeenth century economics professor steve keen thinks there are major obstacles to bitcoin becoming viable as a currency. People have gotten only done very very well and thats cause i was recommending buying it at three dollars in nevada listen to max i want to be i would have sold out quite nicely even at the process selling out now but ultimately the only long term value for big corn is if it becomes an alternative to currencies and so long as it only supports a trivial and i really mean trivial number of Transactions Per Second it simply cant become money now in that sense its a bit like a true walking do with a chip apart from planted in the garden and what should get low look lovely and then slowly die and i think thats whats happening with that corn as well if i want to divide with the wind the corn would be a good way to do that but i can only manage twenty transactions maximum per second that is simply not currency its only going to be there is an effective means of trans transfer extremely large transactions fifteen million one hundred Million Dollars that its the fact that it is so slow consume so much energy and handle so few transactions means that it cant also be what people are claiming it to be so another block Train Technology may will succeed but i simply cant see bitcoin being effective its the checkered flag that for once great goals but they say its Political Correctness gone too far more alert after the break. When lawmakers manufactured them sentenced to public wealth. When the ruling closest to protect themselves. With the crime and merry go round listen to the one percent. Who ignore middle of the room see. The real news is. The u. S. Is losing in two ways number one the climate denying is precluding them from the dissipating in this new economy number one and number two the effects of the Climate Change and why the catastrophes the global you know migrants that are the result of it all these other problems are hurting the us economy on the other side of the trade so youve got to double by. Going to. Welcome back u. S. Republicans have release of documents claiming the man behind the trump russian dossier it was not only funded by the Clinton Campaign but was also fed information point. Mr steeles memorandum states that the report was information that came from a foreign sub source who is in touch with a friend of the clintons it is troubling enough that the Clinton Campaign funded mr steeles work but that these Clinton Associates were contemporaneously feeding mr steele allegations raises additional concerns about his credibility well the socalled dossier a was compiled by former British Intelligence officer crystal it claims to establish strong links between russia and donald trump during the twenty sixteen Election Campaign the steel dust c. E. O. Was criticized for containing flaws and being unverified but it was reportedly still used as the basis to secure surveillance on trumps team and it became an important part of the investigation yet only a it was revealed the document could have been funded by the campaign of its rival Hillary Clinton and if the latest claims that clinton affiliates also fed information to steal turned out to be true it could undermine the collusion probe well but did we catch them in the act or what you know what im talking did we catch them in the act they are very embarrassed they never thought do it to get caught we caught them basically you have a Opposition Research which proves to be propaganda and not even factual information that led to the appointment of bob muller to investigate trump for russian collusion that appears not only not to have happened but to have been invented by the democrats paid for by the Democrat National committee and the Clinton Campaign and now theyre investigating trump i still think the funniest part about this is they want to say trump well we couldnt find any collusion so it must be obstruction of justice that he fired the former f. B. I. Director what was he obstructing if there was no justice to be served because what they were investigating wasnt even true i think thats laughable. Well Republican Party earlier released a memo outlining potential bias on the part of the f. B. I. And the department of justice in its trump russia probe the document faced criticism from the democrats but republicans now say their investigation will encompass even more branches of government yes so let me get to that so so phase one of our investigation was just getting to getting at the pfizer. What were looking at now is the state department and some of the irregularities there. And some of the most vocal critics of the memo have been the Washington Post and the New York Times theyre currently the subject of a new film but its on t. Samir a cohen explains journalistic values can change over time the Washington Post and the New York Times once establish themselves as shining beacons of true journalism a brave group of reporters who would stop at nothing to find out as much as they can in their quest for truth but im actually talking about the seventys back then New York Times and poster as risk jail time by publishing classified documents on the vietnam war the New York Times begins its explosive series based on the pentagon papers publication of a covert version of the war that recount due to much of the optimistic talk that it permeated official statements for years now Daniel Ellsberg leaks the documents to the Washington Post you want to learn more go to the movies and check out the oscar nominated film the post seems like the perfect robot alter trump attacks on the media and according to the creators that was actually the intention one thing that both of these areas have in common that really attracted me also to tell this story is two president s. Declaring war on the news media i really feel that we shall overcome what all of us have been so subjected to over the past sixteen months while spielbergs political message is pretty difficult to miss even in the trailer you publish will be the Supreme Court next. We dont. We. What are you going to do this is ok and what are those two newspapers up to these days well theyre not exactly true to the idea of exposing the Intelligence Community the Washington Post was one of the loudest voices against the release of the nunez memo why because this classified document which alleges misconduct by Intelligence Services quote in dangers National Security and wa po published a number of articles predicting devastating consequences from the memos released and slamming donald trump while they were at it and media who are in favor of the memos released got bashed as well the clip on paid for fake news russian propaganda dot ca of course was used by the Obama Administration to obtain pizer warrants to surveil members of the trim campaign. The New York Times who exposed the pentagon papers back in the seventys were also against it so the cia and f. B. I. Went from bad guys hiding their secrets from the public to a pillar of society standing strong against the evil trump the irony today among many ironies is how the Mainstream Media forgotten their own history the New York TimesWashington Post today when it comes to a songe and others call him the worst threat to our republic is that weve ever seen but just years ago decades ago the same behavior. Now lauded in the movies seem to herald this particular type of behavior that i show you again the unmitigated unbelievable hypocrisy that astounds me daily so there you have it the same outlet that has democracy dies in the dark as its slogan would prefer its secret intelligence actions never see the light of day so america on r. T. E. Washington d. C. Pentagon has announced a new strategy in iraq and syria following the liberation of Islamic States key strongholds enabled by exhilarated successes following the liberation of mosul the coalition will shift its focus in iraq from enable incumbent operations to sustaining military gains he gives the Islamic State of iraq in syria. According to the bed to get operations in iraq one that focused on Border Control and strengthening the National Armed forces r. T. Has spoken exclusively to the iraqi officials they believe the u. S. Has a responsibility to rebuild the countrys ruined cities. For the most and many civilians have been killed in indiscriminate Coalition Air strikes most or most of those buried under the rubble civilians they call it Collateral Damage many of these casualties could have been avoided if they do you measure intelligence the return of refugees usually happens in three stages the first stage is the humanitarian efforts refugees can return when the basic needs met including food and water and the second stage of providing Public Services including Health Care Schools a police force and local government only after this and the rebuilding process happen in the United States government based on moral and legal responsibility to restore iraq scientists. We should buy. Reconstruction in reality were still not seen much help from the us. Can help with that to shape it will take up to six years to rebuild muscle and create all the necessary infrastructure we need to figure out how to provide a clean water supply and other services why it also for a big city the United States played a major role in the destruction of throw its indiscriminate air strikes was a low so it has a responsibility to the very real the city will call them out because. Theyve been a part of glamour of formula one for decades but the checkered flag spiny been waved on the iconic grid girls. James is a proven winner of the question why you. Well for ones commercial director announced the decisions saying the grid goes no longer fits in with modern social norms yes they are now irrelevant and inappropriate for motor racing fans across the world but british Supermodel Naomi Campbell is among those who stepped up in defense of the great girls she says the jobs not remotely offensive and a good way for women to proudly represent their country is the great girls themselves say theyre offended by the decision after years of service to the sport they claim their role is to promote the f one brand and it shouldnt be restricted by issues of Political Correctness. I saw my outfit before i agreed to do it i knew i was wearing i knew what was expected of me if you look at any kind of advertisement or branding these days you know you have beautiful glamorous hostesses working for the best in the world you have victorias secret models who represent the brand so well that they model for and so i dont think you can say that having great go and glamorous promotional models is in keeping up with the times im an ism shouldnt be a dirty word but obviously it could boil down to that i just feel its a bit of a backward step because if we want to say to women you know we want to feel empowered and we can do to be whatever we want to be i dont see a problem with promotional work. We would do it by choice and were not forced into the work and all girls apply for the job and all the girls i know absolutely love the job so i dont see that theres any so problem with it all a lot of people do come to the shows to oversee to meet some of the girls as well to get the pictures with the girls that they probably and some of my friends who work in the professional work theyve met their future husband i dont know why they havent said anything for it and if its because too many people would objectify and they probably didnt think that this much would happen so im not sure why they didnt consult. With laurel leaves and plenty of other stories go to our website and. Other ones are back with the latest headlines at the top of the sea that. You mean you dont. Want to. Get a court. What do you not only did you. Like to go there you said. No turning to see that. Now. If you speak french. Yes. Lets send thats a new. Set. Heres what people have been saying about redacted in. Full on austin the only show i go out of my way to lunch you know what its really packed a punch. Yeah its the john oliver of harvey americans doing the same. Apparently better than. I see people youve never heard of love back to the night president of the world bank no he doesnt really seriously send us an email. Despite its title and history if you dont you know you know whos going to the International School however this is not about the lives of those champions from the. Right on the children. More move better with the ball for me if youre going to use your brother this is for the lord youre not going to lose the result for your reward to the first some of your limpy team with nine hundred fifty two with some good Seats Available as a concentration camp person is one from slime soldiers for sure but even that is good there is corruption because you are much more than you should. Because youre more but youre in for one full. Bore with a bit out of you if you think that the area were going to. Be very sure youll push through for through personal. Enthusiasm when you do when youre at the National Mourning period but in your world the workers. In the now. As you know can we. What holds us in studio suddenly to. Put themselves on the line. To get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president or injury. Or something i want to be honest. Its a right to be for us this is what the forecast for you in the morning can be good that im interested always in the wilds of our. Hello and welcome to our all Things Considered im Peter Lavelle two americas two intensely charged in opposing news narratives you Cable News Networks reflect these divisions or rather function as triggers intensifying Cultural Divide also what has happened to journalism is it now a profession inhabited by hacks the politically possessed. Cross talking america divided im joined by my guest in new york hes a political pundit and journalist contributing to the Huffington Post also in new york we have julio rivera he is the editorial director of reactionary times and a newsmax columnist and in los angeles we have Ron Paul Cohn he is a comedian a frequent guest on the jimmy door show and the young turks as well as host of his own streaming show get your news on with ron all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it ron you got up early as for this program so you were elected to answer the question here. Is. A great deal of my time i watch cable news i try to watch as much of all of them to get a variety of them and you know i its obvious to say that we live in two very very different americas the two americas that dont know each other at all anymore so when i look at the Cable News Networks i mean do they reflect this Cultural Divide or are they really intensifying it i mean are they do they magnify it because you certainly get that feeling. B. C. And fox go ahead. I think that they they definitely intensify a divide yes do they reflect whats really going on in the states or amidst the people that live here i would say absolutely not and to the point where i try very hard to no longer even use the phrase Mainstream Media i try to refer to it to what it is i call it the Corporate Media because thats what it is its owned by a small elite group of corporations they have an agenda they have a narrative they have certain things that theyre not allowed to talk about but as far as the Division Goes i mean yeah and you brought up the memo as a for instance and i think thats a very good example you know on one side yet at m s n b c trying to make it out like oh this is absolutely nothing that on the other side you know and on fox news for instance you had oh this is absolutely everything and the truth is that you know there are things to learn in every given rhetorical event so yeah theres certainly an agenda but really its just most of the time political theater between the most elite among us and is it really reflecting whats going on in the United States and more and more people are disenfranchised well thats the media and thats why people come to us another alternative media jimmy door youre on very often and i really much we enjoy that is why i have a job and hes a progressive i consider myself a conservative but i find him a reasonable person i find you a reasonable person to talk to rob more or less the same question to you because it seems to me if you look at and miss in b. C. And then you look at fox basically both are doing is theyre theyre. Reacting to a status quo that is changing and i think that rattles both of them ok because were still reeling from the election of donald trump and the media is trying to or not trying to adjust to the political realities so it seems to me that you know the before the media horizon there was the rain was there people understood it but its changing changed very radically since then and i think that sees the extremes and the networks that ive just mentioned go ahead rob. Well when ron was talking about corporations i mean what are we doing were going for ratings because theyre going to make more money and i used to be three times a week guest on fox representing i would say what i called myself as a sane liberal as opposed to a kneejerk liberal or a complete jerk liberal those are my different types of liberals but im going to hearken back to a book written in one thousand nine hundred seventy three thats always been one of my favorites and its its really proved to be. News from no nowhere by Edward Jay Epstein and he was talking about how Television News was terrible because they dont actually provide you real news yet theyre getting fed information from big corporations and from p. R. Departments and so what i find offensive is i actually got into a little shoving not a shoving match but a little verbal jousting years ago with matt lauer because he gave me this im a journalist kind of thing at a function and hes a journalist like im tom brady. Weve forgotten what real journalism it is and we dont have shoe leather on the sidewalk journalism anymore but we may not be able to have to have that because whos going to pay for it so where do we in effect get real news from sources and leaks and its a good way well you know you know you know and it seems to me that it has got down to just pack speak as i said in the introduction of the program is that. You know i can be very open with im very sympathetic to like Tucker Carlson for example i think hes a pretty reasonable person and he has opposing people on all the time on his program but if you look at like hannity and you look at Rachel Maddow i mean they never let anything that disturbs their world you know interested and i find that really disturbing because thats just basically giving red meat to your viewers youre not teaching them anything youre just reaffirming its an affirmation process in watching the two that i just mentioned and i dont think that they use a whole lot of news the normal amount of spin go ahead julio. Well no not necessarily i mean this is the one thing i would say and to speak to you know all Rachel Maddow and her colleague over at m s n b c Mika Brzezinski saying and she was quoted as saying we have to control what people think i mean i think it needs to be fact based i think there is an extreme lack of integrity in reporting at this point and i guess the truth of the matter is that outlets like fox and newsmax are actually reporting facts things that have gone on and if you look at donald trump when he was on his asian tour he struck an energy deal to close our trade deficit with china by about eighty billion dollars if you look at the news that day the news was the speculation that this russia probe supposedly was going to shift to trump directly and now were looking at this in february still hasnt yielded anything substantial that they can pin to trump so its always been about trying to make the trumpet ministration look bad from the left and there is a little bit of a defense mechanism going on in right leaning media but its usually a lot more fact based coming from the right yeah well i would agree i mean we in the memo for example i mean when you look at c. N. N. And then mislead b. C. Theyre just in denial ok i mean you know one hour they say its a danger to National Security and then when its released they say its nothing here move along nothing to see i mean they are in denial here im going to go to ron in los angeles i mean. In that sense i did agree with julio i mean they dont even want to address the content of the memo for example i read it its very interesting its something i think is very very important but you have the liberal corporatist media i will take your term they just dismiss it out of hand because again it didnt dangerous what they believe is the status quo and they have the right and the privilege to tell the world how to think our and tell the American Public out of things go ahead wrong well yeah i mean im im a very progressive guy and i used to really love Rachel Maddow i used to get. Sitter her a diamond in the rough but recently you know i mean i say if you watch Rachel Maddow show and you take a shot of vodka every time she says the word russia youre going to be i think the average person would probably be dead within twenty minutes. The media has a very. The media has a very corporate agenda going to try that. Dont rob dont do it im not going to do it you know you do you cross and cross talk will not be held regatta political aisle here i dont recommend anyone doing that ok well i dont recommend anyone actually do it with a disclaimer on at the end of the program im. Going to braun go thank you. But yeah i mean they have their corporate you know ill give another for instance you know emmetts n. B. C. Is owned by comcast youve not seen an honest report on Net Neutrality from m s n b c havent really seen it in any of the Corporate Media but especially not from them because theyre owned by comcast a very anti Net Neutrality company you know when dapple was going on all of the Corporate Media fox news c. N. N. M s n b c theyre all funded in large part by ole oil and Gas Companies so of course theyre not going to tell you whats going on and in terms of a water protest where do you hear about that you hear about that from the journalists that are on the ground you know what ontological ron on that good men on not like that on that point i do remember watching across the board and almost one of those rare moments of unity everybody said it to important. Period we didnt get anything more than that ok i learned more about Net Neutrality listening to the jimmy door show it was an Excellent Program on Net Neutrality i learned an enormous amount there and ok you know the problem it let me go back to you one of the things that i find really disturbing in our political discourse is that everyone if you post someone theyre a traitor they act in a treasonous way and i criticize donald trump for that and i certainly i certainly criticize and miss n. B. C. And c. N. N. For peddling the same thing go ahead rob well one of the things that really is to infuriate me when i was a regular contributor to fox ive always been a democrat is i had people that would suddenly contact me on facebook or via twitter are or they
