Like you know that i got. Was that we. Would. Be. Pretty. Well going on watching ox i am i robot and im tapping the law in this. I you know its one of these things that ive said theres a difference between the way certain foods taste when i was a kid to now which isnt that long ago. When you think about gulf shrem theres been a major change difference from you know post say around 992000 and memo and this explains a lot not just the the b. P. Deep deep horizon this is this is beyond this these are things that are going on for a very long time it is insisted this is one of those acts like this is something that like you know b. P. Was big everyone saw it as washing up on the shore animals are overdoing it like all that this has been like a slow steady ugly leak you know for i mean what 2004 to today its a whole lot of a lot of oil just pouring into the gulf of mexico on a daily basis and the reason that they couldnt have the sad thing is the reason that they couldnt get accurate reading on this beforehand was they at the time theyre relying on like satellite Remote Sensing of the sheen of oil resulting from this nasty seep of it the new measurements are actually based on direct measurements of the oil in the water and where its coming from is a big oh well it just was us calculated by the shine that i was the. Doubling my dermatologist walking in with makeup on and do it go well youre not. Looking a bit doing years or a little bit i cant do anything with us and as i said its when you when you look at this spill its kind of that slow steady bird at the end of the day because you know youre just not youre not seeing it its easy for us to get alarmed when we see it all spill words right there in front of us and you see the birds covered from exxon the b. P. Horizon you know we saw that over and over and over again and thats whats really upsetting i think is because weve seen reporting on deepwater we saw the reporting on exxon we saw the birds that you know don and i take it we saw all this there was you know a play that was played out in front of us but with this oil spill it just seems like they kept it under the wraps and i havent seen major major reporting on it no apart from these little moments where you saw you know use. In 2050 you know when it happened we kind of knew about it but like you know its kind of been kept under wraps and you know when you look at the Company Behind it they dont even existed there is no way so this is what happened with Taylor Energy which ultimately owned this oil rig right so normally thats a nor it was a resilient new orleans based company they sold its assets in 2008 whatever assets were left and that was taken to fund what i consider a fairly loose if Area Trust Fund of 666000000. 00 dollars 4 which was supposed to pay for plugging up the damage of dismantling and removing the oil platform from the gulf sea floor so getting all of that stuff out of there or capping it outpolling and stopping that the Company Claims now the new owners of a leaking oil rig i dont know who taught you about that will do that was a good a good investment so the Company Claims that any oil raising from this site is from its not from the actual hole in the pipe but in the drilling that they did its not from its just its from all the sediment that soaked up all the oil before and so that. Any gas the ideas like oh the bubbles the fish produce this is all in all this oil that its not coming from the big a hole that was drilled in the very sea floor. So the new report clearly. The chemical nature and volume of oil and gas measured preclude sediments from currently being the major source of oil to the marina where. They want verifiable Scientific Data theyre given verifiable Scientific Data now the company is still claiming that stopping leaks now would do more damage than good albert. So it was a great idea so were just supposed to watch trouble so their ideas i will just let their slow burn this slow we just continue to poison the gulf because all it might cause too much environmental damage occurring. Thats ridiculous. If you know. What the war hawks in washington d. C. Are circling are on the ghosts of iraqi weapons of mass destruction still ringing in our ears many have been questioning the trumpet ministrations unwavering claims that iran was behind the recent attacks on oil tankers near the strait of hormuz and now it appears that the United Arab Emirates may also be joining the growing chorus of skeptics demanding evidence are here because theyre a month or so who joins us now with the latest to talk about having me talk about an issue you know a region of the world that just everything is constantly changing and new stuff comes out every day now the United Arab Emirates a u. S. Ally in the middle east made this pretty bold statement over the attacks that happened would go for those last month what exactly did they say so the u. A. E. Minister foreign minister shake up dual opens i had on my own met with his russian counterpart part Sergey Lavrov earlier today and they discussed us iran tensions and both incidents that happened earlier this month and last month in the gulf of oman the strait of hormuz and he basically said the u. A. E. U. S. Closest ally said that there is not enough evidence to point blame or point fingers at any specific country he said quote if there is a country that has the evidence that im convinced that the International Community will listen to it but we need to make sure the evidence is precise and convincing though he also talked about the coalition that u. S. Secretary of state my palm peo is looking to form take a listen to what he said. If you move quick. And he said with regard to the coalition and he was talking about the important something he had seen be International Involvement in an operation for physical protection of the. Well tankers and other vessels in the persian gulf because of the strait of hormuz wherever i can confirm that any practical steps in this direction are aimed at providing security to the vessels in the goals but not against us. So the u. A. E. Norway and saudi arabia were all looking into this were investigating and the result they said really didnt point to any specific country they said it was a state actor who was responsible didnt name a country but u. S. National security advisor john bolton continues to reiterate and repeat that it was iran and listen to what he said. Well ive said it was almost certainly the case that iran was responsible for the attack on the tankers we expect that the countries of the vessels in saudi arabia the United Arab Emirates and norway will in due course and i think fairly shortly make public the results of their investigations i dont think anybody who knows the region has any doubt who staged those attacks or the attacks on the saudi pipeline pumping stations whether iran or their surrogates. Its interesting watching someone of mass destruction weapons or any way. We can remember warhawk white pompei as our very pale was on a tour of the middle east whats coming of that i mean this history of fixing everything right well he went to the u. A. E. And hes trying to discuss iran tensions in this coalition that hes trying to form and get backing from other middle east countries to help the u. S. And the u. A. E. Its a huge ally to the u. S. So its surprising that they didnt support the u. S. And and just went against their claim that iran was responsible but he also has met with. Crown prince muhammad bin ziad and he discussed Maritime Security near the persian gulf and russia recently back to iran on last weeks claim where the u. S. Drone was shot down by iran. And russia did say that it was actually that u. S. Drone was actually on International Iranian iranian airspace so not that they had a need to shoot down the one and earlier today russia also said that moscow is really going to encourage civilized dialogue between the u. S. And iran so they want to have discussions get on the to get to the table with these to try to solve these problems i mean i would hope so i mean regrets what everybody wants are going to be tired of wars at this point maybe dont know about my pay you know. Lets not make any assumption. Here speaking of these attacks on the oil tankers every heard anything about this 2nd attack that happened in the gulf of oman on the japanese ships that occurred earlier this month where weve definitely seen more of those attacks in the News Coverage in the media these days but and it has definitely escalated tensions between the u. S. And iran both saying that military force all options all options are on the table and this case the u. S. Continues to blame iran theyre saying they have evidence of video tehran continues to deny it but the United Nations has had several closed door meetings where theyve discussed these tensions nothing has come out of that they havent blamed any specific country but the u. N. Has urged maximum restraint around the gulf region and want both sides to refrain from using force i mean i hope so i hope that thats all this ball plays out at the end of the day you know exists is absolutely just ridiculous to me that were once again like you said earlier its just reeks of weapons of mass destruction again like the set up the gulf of tonkin poison pill things like that that weve seen throughout history not a history i want to repeat. Ceremony. Thank you so much for coming on today always a pleasure for informing us and our viewers. All right is going to record watchers dont forget to let us know what you think about the cover of facebook and twitter and to put your poll shows that are to come coming up top of the walls for some groundbreaking of the status quo and big new statistics on the electability in the United States and then there are 2 americas Rachel Blevins on covered. The latest scandal of our friend the National Security agency stay true to what you just. Joined 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. The answer to every single the economic problem every single number every single statistic every Single Market reactions to lower rate thats the old its like an alcoholic who drinks when theyre happy they drink when theyre sad they drink because its tuesday they drink because its daytime they drink because its nighttime theyre not balik they just drink drink drink drop how to cut rates whether the economy is expanding whether its contract ing who think president doesnt matter is a dog bit on his wife hates is going to lower rates makes no difference thats the only thing that it. Is hard to take some from somebody if you know have some replacing. You want to do this interview today and all these markets and then they take me. There are 4 years ago i was there in. So im going to tell you start selling drugs if well hear some of those the money back. They just mule when life has almost been basically mckellar speech before the words do you guys know whats a good new security positions over there in the house you know. David jack me again. You see people get other cars and ill see you coming in the herd and they seems like theyll hurry up and run into the house like they dont want to dont want to talk see her get your mail or anything like that. But just try every day i. Would Say Something give me. Americans are very good at discouraging certain members of our society to run for office mainly by invoking the curse of electability if youre so black with a muslim sounding name im sorry but youre not electable. Are you a 29 year old bartender running for congress in order to make Climate Change a priority im sorry of that ive never got out been or a loud brash opinionated former professional wrestler whos running against the establishment talking points i mean really wait it almost seems like the concept of electability is a mess and a new report from the Reflective Democracy Campaign shows out in 2018 people of color and women one at the same rates as their predominantly white male counterparts when you look at the demographics of political power you see that according to the most recent us census white men women of color men of color and white women are almost on the road to being pretty evenly distributed in the voting public and yet our elected officials do not reflect that with a mere 4 percent of women of color making up the 20 per cent or 7 percent of men of color who make up 19 percent of the actual population when you look to the white side of things you see that while white women make up around 31 percent of the population we only account for 27 percent of elected officials while white men who make up 30 percent of the population wait for it make up 62 percent of elected officials and now weve heard quite a bit about that electability mostly from democrats who decided that is what is on the outside that matters people like actress activist activist Alyssa Milano who after interviewing interviewing u. S. President ial candidate joe biden told m s n b c that despite biden having a movie or a problem giving both his hands and his ego to him self she supported him because quote this primary to me is not about policy its about beating trump period thats it end of story its not about whos going to make the best president. Ever 39. 00 use to be a white woman. And hollywood who doesnt have to worry about things like policy because it as a 0 effect on you personally but Alyssa Milano isnt alone according to data from a recent gallup poll democrats prioritize the ability to beat trump over issues stances because apparently the belief goes if you are white if you are male if you are willing to sell of progressive ideas you cant win except guess what that too is wrong so you cording to the reflected Democracy Campaign report that dug through local state and federal election data it turns out that when theyre on the same ballot women and men of all races when exactly the same rate as white men well there is one difference women of color well 4 percent will run 5 percent will win white women 28 percent will run 29 percent will win 6 percent of men of color will run while 7 percent will win ugly or not of men while 61 percent of them very very good one and only 60 percent of the vote with it will literally by one percentage point they way to that means white men dont have special powers at the polls it comes down to recruitment and the studys data shows that while women are less likely than men to have considered running for office theyre just as likely as men to respond positively to political over a crewman so you know what this all comes down to if you ask they will run and they will win. That they will weve seen this co times over and over again what more wake up call do we need to become the illusionary magical thing that the media invented called electability is actually real its not as you clearly pointed out it was about likability i think ability to be the catholic home never going to miami garner was a no no new governor mayor you know oh my gosh hes never had a when you do you do donald trump no one thought was going to win he did not play well and thats something that happens is why this comes up and why its so interesting is that this time when you know we keep hearing from democrats and republicans that there is always this well it was a fluke but we see this all over the world oh well this country elected a woman its a flu. Is it a comedian its a fluke its all a fluke its not real when you look to places like queens new york so where arrows see part of her in that same district you had some districts or it was actually a public defender. Tiffany so she went up against a very centrist democrat lots of backing by the Democratic Party lots of money lots of everything however you had to any one who went up with. Very little it was all very small donations. See endorse or democratic socialist or everything that we keep being told youre not going to win youre not going to win were going to lose were going to go through all this stuff they scare tactics. Today we have with 99 percent of precincts reporting the 31 year old public defender of lead melinda cats who was the Queens Borough president as i said supported by nearly 1100 votes or about 1. 3 Percentage Points in a field of 6 candidates and heres the really interesting part so a little bit earlier right before the show today Daniel Colgan who is the Presumptive Republican to go up against tiffany there to be much of a campaign on my behalf i havent decided to make an active campaign yet so her republican opponent who is a white male lots of money you know that earlier look the clearly electable. He literally is say. If she can beat the centrist democrat how am i gonna win because i dont have anything better really you know and the thing is you have someone you know like tiffany of on who you see right here going to vote this is someone who a few years ago we were told wasnt supposed to win but obama again your dad. True youre seeing a lot more young people running for over 31 years old general they always say well the young dont vote like the one mistake they made with my fathers they told him over and over again all the Young People College kids theyre not going to vote their own people never go out to vote if you have the right of the speaks to them they will come out in droves like my father did and thats the thing where you know theres 2 Party Politics and really party system in general is really hurtful because when you look at the numbers there are people who would we would have a properly honest reflective government that reflected the views and the people that live in the United States of america if we let the electorate do its job instead of telling them theyre stupid and tell it sort of telling them they voted wrong instead of telling them all my god youre so dumb we have to protect you from mediums or you. Vote the wrong way not they voted the way they voted and you said listen you should and these numbers say that to do it do not let them theres no nobody special its all going to work it will work out because guess what you just got to run the candidate good i guess what i gotta get out there today thank you good ideas when i like that all right. Well we are now finally seeing some fresh new faces and ideologies on the political scene here in washington d. C. It appears that the old surveillance state is still the same old same old and up to its old dirty shenanigans yes the National Security agency appears to be up to its old tricks again as new documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties union show that the n. S. A. Has once again once again improperly collected phone calls from u. S. Citizens or to americas Rachel Blevins says the story. The National Security agency was caught illegally collecting records from innocent americans through a Controversial Program that is supposed to be used for counterterrorism purposes and this is not the 1st time it has happened according to new documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties union last year between october 3rd and october 12th and as a compliance reports show an unidentified phone Company Provided the n. S. A. With records that it should not have received because those records were not related to terrorism suspects their reports were obtained through a freedom of information act lawsuit and because theyre heavily redacted its still not clear exactly how many records the n. S. A. Collected without authorization it is also not clear how many times it has happened before the latest record suggests that the n. S. A. Was guilty of at least one other over a collection episode in the same year which had a significant effect on americans privacy because of the volume of records that were obtained in response the n. S. A. Reportedly deleted the programs entire database in june 2008 scene then reports from earlier this year stated that the n. S. A. Had quietly shut down a system that analyzes. Logs of americans domestic calls and Text Messages but the n. S. A. Has yet to publicly acknowledge any of this and despite repeated claims that the purpose of the Surveillance Program is to catch terrorism suspects privacy advocates question whether allowing the government to have so much power is actually making americans any safer in a statement the a. C. L. U. Argue quote the n. S. A. s collection of americans call records is too sweeping become playas problems too many and evidence of the programs value all but nonexistent there is no justification for leaving this surveillance power in the n. S. A. s hands now section 215 of the patriot act which has been used to justify the mass collection of american phone records under the approval of a secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court is set to expire at the end of this year while there are only a handful of members of congress who have been else spoken in their criticisms of the n. S. A. s practices there is also concern as reports signal the white house plans to push for a permanent renewal of the surveillance law despite years of privacy concerns as the latest revelations show there is also a problem with oversight and despite the fact that the n. S. A. Has been caught illegally collecting private information from american citizens get again it does not appear that anyone has been held accountable in washington rachel glove and archie. The legendary giant squid the Worlds Largest known molests has eluded scientists only been having been caught on camera in a meaningful way once before in all of history now because of the work of dr e. T. White or the founder of the Ocean Research and khan Conservation Association we have caught the craig and on film again for the 1st time in u. S. Waters wider invented a camera known as the mage do says i can film deep deep underwater and by adding the light and lured that replicates the glow of a jellyfish it attracted the squid with medusa this. Video was captured off the u. S. Coast at about 2200 meters underwater which truly makes you wonder what else is deep down in the oceans depths considering it took a century of camera evolution to get to images of a giant squid and weve only explored about 20 percent of our 0 cents here to be at least a giant squid here is to be elusive giant squid you know what about the giant squid has electability and i would hope ill go in 100 percent for the giant squid giant squid 2020. A crank im going to europe for your book i will give it my crackers covering for your votes all right about a very short period of to remember everyone in the world we are not told that we are loved not so i tell you all i love you i am to roll over to the ice keep on watching those hawks out there on the great day and night with.
