Its like finding out there were three more barbecue potato chips in the bottom the bag and i. Guess everythings coming up this. There is there is hope though people are standing up against our corporatocracy every day but its not talked about on your Corporate Media for example citing the urgent threat of the Climate Crisis two hundred thirty six us mayors denounce trumps attack on the Clean Power Plan yes the mayor is getting angry even mayor mckees got off his greasy ass just a boy a little concerned but you know considering how much meat production contributes to Climate Change hes probably he shouldnt be the one to talk really take you seriously matter when you switch your head to a baji burger right. Where he also lied. How many animals died for your face. The best way for the ruling elite to have full control even limit the possible ways that were told we can impact the system telling you that you can only have an effect every two years at a rigged ballot box with proprietary software so you never actually see if your vote counted tell you thats the only way well youve lost before youve even voted you were lost we could have an impact every day. In the week if we just realized our collective power weve never. Felt comfortable enough to do to like you i think you know were going to go back and kill or die because the details are to vote for your city redacted or dot com well be back in ninety seconds. But was still you on the idea that dropping bombs brings you to the Chicken Hawks forcing you to fight the battles that go. To socks for the tell you that because of the public but i felt. I was telling you pulling out. Of a hard week along the border with one. If. It was a stage it was going to keep the mystic crisis shelling strong miracles supreme again north from the outside world from russia looks from china from inside the sides of this ink what you see now on the wrong russia and. You know russia. Is psychological that list on the bill of times to find sound but outside the United States will is responsible for that while the real problem is the stuff. That you just. Heard i want to do it just show the face that would be very clear right. Away go to. Management. And they are they they when they have to and they have. You need to feel. Something yeah what do you how much. Do you. Mean that we can measure the cost more next to. Back them lawyers nationwide are stealing from minimum wage workers at the rate of fifteen billion dollars a year thats. Five for fifteen you havent heard about but good news youre going to reduce your old protest to big there by fifteen billion was funny and i have here to discuss runs it embossed them if youre running. You. Know who an employer is possible get away with us you gotta listen and learn the lay listen and learn theres so little in force minute minimum wage laws that workers have to rely on the honor system to get paid and the honor code in my Business School was i hereby pledge on this open with the p. T. O. Page. That i will not copy cheat or rob until the coast is clear. So this is how it works Small Companies change their names to avoid paying and Big Companies hire those Small Companies as independent contractors and Church Responsibility for their low wage workers so when the Customer Service is bad at target you should talk to the manager of phony scam and theyll see. Exactly good friend look no full time minimum wage workers nowadays cant afford a two bedroom apartment in any us state their full time your all your salary is below poverty levels its a starving wage right these crooked bastards are stealing from poor restaurant workers and house cleaner though i cant believe it i know these thieves dont believe in themselves you pick yourself up by your stolen bootstraps and scam someone with at least a two bedroom apartment and a soda stream. If you could write checks people can cash you can write yourself into your next door neighbor jerrys will. Jesus amateurs ok well but study corage anyone is still but what can an unpaid worker do what well actually there are options the employee can hire a lawyer file a complaint with the state or federal labor department. I actually recommend the feds because they have eight hundred ninety four minimum wage investigators more than any state agency and theres a oh god no nine hundred fifty we had about a thousand. You know those were the good times when less than an hours wage could get you a movie ticket to see Disneys Cinderella which actually wouldnt be believable today and now the chambermaids are way too busy working to star in feature films. Or have meaningful friendships with mice. And the pumpkin driver he lost his job a long time with many stars we want to give upon we have we have millions more workers that and i deemed forty eight theres a be like exponentially more investigators now it is only we need to leave Labor Regulation to the states except those seven states where there are no minimum wage investigators the old can afford a bible belt the its a ruthless endeavor even if investigators find underpayment they can really get your back pay in fifteen states forty one percent of the total was not actually paid to the already one percent of the bureaus think did their job they sent letters to the guilty employers telling them to pay up or else or or else they will feel bad for being bad people. Go later. When we really do have to start a Justice System in this country want to protect the wealthy on the other just a blink at the poor. A letter could be intimidating if you had a severed finger with you know. And thats why i have never opening family mail yet i have i mean the ring was nice but i. Well its the thought that counts i think it like a me like a classic. A well. Mannered capitalism strangled workers also strangling the entire Public Infrastructure for more on this we go to john of the donald for the breakdown. Here in puerto rico the land of beautiful white sand beaches and Crystal ClearWater Landscapes of plush Green Mountains coral reefs waterfalls and this six. Puerto rico is also where nearly two hundred fifty thousand people still dont have electricity five months after Hurricane Maria struck over one hundred thousand still lack clues Drinking Water and guess what just like redact tonight said several weeks ago the disaster capitalist have indeed descended upon the u. S. Island territory like a fat kid up on a author iommi klein says the corporate and political elites from outside of puerto rico have not watched time exploiting Hurricane Marias trauma to push forward false and ruinous solutions from the privatization of the Central Services to a tax on education with its privatization policy. Private is a in the dictionary definition is transfer from public to private ownership and control but thats not visceral enough its more like transfer from public to private hell bent for profit interests that dont care if you a slip in the shower and break your collarbone and then when youre struggling to get up a rhinoceros barges in and impales you through your solar plexus and you bleed out on the cold wet floor. To visit. Now. Klein goes on to say in this context of the rampant disaster of capitalism there is an urgent moral imperative to inform leading people to know the real roots of the superimposed crisis that is falling on these islands with Climate Change the races system brutal austerity illegitimate and odious debt and colonialism easy the government doesnt want the people to have context that might inform us of why this crisis is continuing to unfold there is anything about this guys response to the hurricane make you think hes interested in context. Not really a context. Not his that. Hey maybe the mayor of san juan puerto rico carmen yulian cruz can enlighten us on what type of privatization is happening were facing up private to say shit on the energy front were also facing province ascension of the educational point the local government a puerto rico has introduced the concept of Charter Schools and has said that its going to privatized schools it almost seems like the perfect storm for disaster economics or. What they call the sasser capitalism and everything seems to be out there for sale everything is out there for sale puerto rico is even selling this retro of image from the one nine hundred eighty the. No takers the six said plan now is to privatized the border rico a lectured Power Authority and to privatized the Education System into Charter Schools just like in new orleans who a kid go over. Ten years after katrina new orleans all Charter School system has been a failure. To understand that this shock doctrine of corporations exploiting National Disasters to take over the Public Infrastructure is actually their ongoing game plan its not going to stop with puerto rico there which is a devastating cycle in the u. S. Territory of American Samoa that nobody is talking about theres little doubt the disaster capitalists are going to jump in there too and without question the sinister tactics are going to be used more and more on mainland america as environmental destruction unfolds i want everybody to think about that. Except for me its a way too depressing quick pull up the tourism footage. That its better there is money reporting for puerto rico john f. Odonnell redacted so not that sorry father we have to show dont we can get the job if you. Can also follow me dot com. This is Charlie Munger has approached economics. From wells fargo wells fargo.

Him over them close but then this might be able to move him i do know but you know my mother goes with the you know focused on. Something to me now to some of the youths in the on the spot of the. Dog youll see yes so youll still. To come to think of the yellow would someone please feel free to chose to go bulls to the police but yes the people still most of them so just with people like you put a guy. That would usually look up as one nation as we see would you do you see just those palestinians sometimes you know playful yes a little bit so. Join me every thursday on the alec simon show and ill be speaking to guest in the world of Politics School business im show business ill see you then. International recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos and dismiss it. Like. This isnt my cup of tea is going out. On. The only palestinians who gets the most help from its jerusalem counterparts i dont think some of those who were in there were under the vision. Only to do this. And know what. Im going to. Do more. Dont piss off. The group. Two days of ongoing crisis talks to the Un Security Council failed to reach a breakthrough on syria still still trying to hammer out a ceasefire deal priest and go to the occupied by both rebel and terrorist groups. Begging me dont do it dont do it dont do it and we did the right thing washington sets the date for the relocation of its embassy in israel to Jerusalem Move that palestinians say could destroy any hope of a peace settlement. To conform. All of these are investigating prematch violence in spain last night between supporters from a moscow. Hi this is r. T. Live from moscow at the weekend with me kevin i know in this welcome to you for this latest half hour news update first the latest from syria again its all going there the problem is syrian state media reporting now that islam is militants in the rebel long clove of Eastern Ghouta have launched a fresh round of mortar attacks on residential areas in damascus. At least one person said to have been killed there fifteen injured in the latest news its the second time of bombardment by antigovernment forces has caused casualties in the syrian capital this week Eastern Ghouta is a suburb of damascus has been occupied by rebel and terrorist groups now since twenty thirteen but the situation has intensified big time of late as progovernment forces have been exchanging fire with those militants thats led the un to call on all sides to end the violence members of the Security Council are expected to decide later whether to adopt an amended cease fire resolution that votes expected to come again in the coming hours earlier members failed to agree on some important details of the document the draft originally proposed the thirty day truce and the evacuation of people in dire need of medical treatment however under these conditions there was no guarantee that terrorists would abide by the agreement as russia has pointed out moscows also said it wanted the Al Nusra Group to be excluded from that truce. Put the dupatta which is the main problem in eastern time as i mentioned hes consciously or unconsciously being treated the same as the other Syrian Rebels just how to loose freeze not being touched and we still dont have evidence that the Coalition Led by the United States is treating just how the real target of course would draw the attention of our american colleagues to that fact but we dont see our comments having any effect well its been a tough days of rhetoric and negotiations now it all relates to the district of Eastern Ghouta thats east of damascus a suburb that is currently under the control of rebels and terrorists that the Syrian Government is trying to retake the city in an anti terror operation the anti terror operation is being widely criticized by western leaders recently we even heard from the u. S. President donald trump what russia and what iran and what syria have done recently is a humanitarian disgrace i will tell you that were there for one reason were there to get isis and get rid of isis and go home. Were not there for any other reason and weve largely accomplished our goal but what those three countries have done to people over the last short period of time is a disgrace the leaders of the International Community are in full agreement that civilian life in eastern is very important and that the conditions are dire all want to make sure that civilians are safe however there are clear disagreements among World Leaders about who is to blame for the situation in eastern guta. Many western officials have been voicing strong opposition to the syrian operation in that militant stronghold but russia and others have long accused them of double standards particularly after the wests muted response to the campaign to liberate the iraqi city of mosul from Islamic State which also had a devastating impact on civilians. By the escalation of strikes me humanitarian disaster systematic targeting of civilians and this is how on our ongoing slaughter of trap civilians its about the case of the Syrian Government as well and we call on this including russia to ensure that this violence stops. In iraq and in syria people are much more accepting. That because it creates their city being liberated they understand what they were suffering civilians will get caught in the crossfire civilians will get hurt civilians will get killed if you want to liberate your towns and cities it comes at a price and avoidable part of the war and commanders have to press on despite their responsibility for civilian casualties in iraq and syria lies with isis we are the good guys munition on a battlefield with different political analysts john white told us the western powers misrepresentation of the situation on the ground right now and go to is only going to add to the suffering of civilians their regime change propaganda has entered the realms of the fantastic quirin groups such as nusra front and Jash Al Islam which is the dominant faction in eastern guta these groups which adhere to the same ideology responsible for nine eleven and a whole litany of terrorist attacks there are no being depicted those rebels as partisans of Second World War repute whereby the syrian army made up of conscript soldiers drawn from every part of the multicultural the multireligious was a city in society there are no being painted as a lot of the waffen s. S. An army of occupation the than an army of liberation so this narrative will continue syria comes closer to achieving its complete liberation and the suffering of the civilians which no one can deny is being prolonged by this continued attempt to undermine the attempts of the Syrian Government and its allies particular russia to liberate the country. The u. S. Announced it was going to move its embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem on may the fourteenth now thats the day put forward it coincides with the seventieth anniversary of the establishment of the israeli state heres what president trouble to say about the decision which has been causing fear across the arab world and beyond. People calling begging me dont do it dont do it dont do it campaign against it was so incredible but you know what the campaign for it was also incredible and we did the right thing turkeys voiced concerns about the decision to with his foreign minister saying that the decision on the embassy violates Un Security Council resolutions and demonstrates the intention of america to undermine peace since december when trump took the decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital more than twenty palestinians have been killed and around a thousand others injured in the ongoing demonstrations over it. Next more on the symbolism of washingtons move and the fallout that resulted from it. Put it simply trump said he doesnt care what the world thinks about his decision to move the embassy to jerusalem which actually supports israels claims to the city but when he says the campaign against his decision was incredible he means this. Last november. Not. Even though trump doesnt care people in the region do today we saw clashes in hebron continue which israel on the other hand is praising from its minister for transportation thanks trump in a tweet even called him a friend of a back in december in a Security Council vote of fourteen countries condemned to trumps recognition of jerusalem as israels capital among those who are staunch u. S. Allies like the u. K. And france and in the General Assembly one hundred and twenty eight countries got the use of the beats up structed the Security Council and unable to perform his duties and do direct kids a work of the International Community it is considered a blatant violation of the rights of Palestinian People must be resolved through negotiation between the two parties are un members very threatened or the other members this is bullying and this john boehner will not want to do that now despite International Backlash the state department has notified congress that its embassy will be bouvard to jerusalem on may fourteenth which is much sooner than originally planned last month a Vice President penned said the embassy would be moved by the end of twenty nineteen but like you said may fourteenth also happens to be the day israel declared its independence back in one nine hundred forty eight and it was the day president truman officially recognized the state but considering the International Communitys past response itll be interesting to see how they react to this
