Ill tell you when that happened thats when the economy went belly up. Like there was already a problem they were working on it as much as they could but after 2008 you had whole families moving into tents and you saw the movie where but that got crushed under the table and its like well if you didnt do anything about that situation then if you didnt look at development. Then dont dont act surprised though that surprised dont dont throw the stones i mean donald is that statement was callous like yours and i just had heard about this prestige of the i mean theyre just human beings lets not lets not get all you know pollyanna about their interest you know human beings but. Its such a good one but its interesting because the response of traumas read San Francisco bay or London Bridge stated that simply cracking down on homelessness without providing the housing people need is not a real solution and. The mayor is right but according to a survey in San Francisco homelessness by chris herren ph d. Candidate of the university of california berkeley 70 percent of the schools homeless have been forced to move by and by a Police Officer 69 percent have been cited by a Police Officer 46 percent of their terms or other belongings complicated by city workers he went on to point out that only 12 percent reported that theyd been offered services and even less than 5 percent tab so that they actually were offered a shelter with a bed to go to war ive always criminalize being poor yes we have on every level i mean somebody has a debt theyve got cops showing up at their door you have someone who is homeless to through any number of situations that you may or may not know and understand is forced to be in this situation to be living in their car to be living in a tent city doing this and some people dont even have that much and thats the thing to criminalize a youve made it a crime to be poor. And thats the part that no matter what you do youre going to have this cycle of people throwing money at certain things and putting people in jail and then going i just dont know why this keeps happening except the policy obviously when at the university of california berkeley. There a law school found that california cities each have an average of more than 10 anti homeless nyssa laws. Like los angeles has 17 San Francisco has 24 and these are just normal law understand like theres already laws already things on the book books about certain things that ing going to the bathroom and public sorts of things are happening but what theyre doing is making it so you cant sleep in your car you cant do this you cant do this and it comes out of this idea that you litigate the streets and then somehow if you if you put these people in jail or you scare them enough theyll stop sleeping on the streets im not sure how that works. As a sister. Logic im just not seeing the end being anything thats close to what it supposed to be in San Francisco again more than half of the 10. 00 to 15000. 00 citations that were given out for home given to Homeless People each year which said its setting camping loitering theyre not going to get paid youre policing for profit on an entire swath of the population that literally has no money. Like you can shake the change out of them but youre not going to get it so the ideas will make this money and then nothing will pay for homelessness by. So that of course they cant pay it whichever knows you cant pay it then they get arrested then they get a warrant then they get suspension if they do have a drivers license it suddenly puts up a bunch of barriers for them to get out of the place there and theres no bootstraps for anybody to pick themselves up because what the citys done is cut them off at the bootstraps and said well youre stuck now bad person youre a failure as a human in the trumpet ministrations report on this they actually make make it the idea that well you know we have to be careful building new shelters because that may incentivize people to you go to shelters rather than paying rent at some point. No you dont want to live in a shelter you know didnt want to be homeless oh you didnt know that its the coolest thing to do to go hang out at shelters. Specially home. Both sides of the political hours this. Before occupy wall street there was occupy General Motors for 44 days from 103621037 over 100000 members of the then rookie United Auto Workers union supported the sit in strike of the flint General Motors plant the National Guard was brought in tear gas was shot into the plant and at least 14 strikers were shot with guns during the standoff but in the end the union brought the largest automaker in america at the time during the Great Depression to its knees and that one strike changed the course of u. S. History. Unions are probably jurors so much security and freedom and because it isnt easy even to recall the parable the person that came to an end with the winning that this is the tribe. Will made a middle class we could have decent food we could live in a decent place. Where decent clothes. And on september 15th the u. A. W. Once again called for a strike that now has over 45000 workers picketing the auto giant and the days following the strikes kickoff General Motors has stopped paying their share of Health Benefits for employees and are pushing the cost onto the union and what many are calling leverage against the strike however it isnt stopping workers who are now seeing temporary nonunion workers often called scabs brought in to plant and threats of arrest here is u. A. W. Member Shawn Crawford with a view from the flint michigan picket lines over a decade after the historic flint said in. Everybody whos be showing your support we appreciate it. Theyre talking about possibly arresting picketers right now for blocking traffic and preventing scabs from coming in the plan to truck assembly. Joining us now for the latest on the u. A w g m strike is r t america correspondent karen thanks for joining me here a lot has happened since i was here on monday right its incredible how much you know whats taken place last 40. 00 just up on this im actually a bit of a question is how much could this end up costing general border motors how much could this strike cost them when you know theyve also reported General Motors reported that theyve made over 10000000000. 00 in profits last year right so actually its just coming down that the strike it is slowing down production and actually g. M. Canada is going to be temporarily temporarily laying off 1200. 00 employees at the plant and ontario now Canadian Workers there theyre a part of a Different Union so theyre not striking there so they kind of have a little bit of a break but after day 3 production losses theyre looking at 23000. 00 vehicles by the end of this week it could be up to 43000. 00 but when it comes to money its estimated that theyre losing 50. 00 to a 100000000 per day now because we had we had a graph where we were showing the last strike in 2007 it lost 23000000. 00 g. M. Again if were going to the conservative route with 5xw1c5xw by the end of today 350000000 by next monday 700000002 weeks from now now one of the longest strikes it was actually covered by an r t photojournalist here was back in 1988 were 9000 workers went on strike for 54 days g. M. Lost 2000000000 that thats like yahoo c. E. O. Salaries youre right that is one of the board. Or one. Its interesting to see how much you know stuff is stranger looking for me 80 some odd years later or since the 90. Yes how thats changed and the amount of money and thats why strikes are so effective a lot of times of getting something because you know if all it is is the bottom line then theres something and theres that whole thing now there was Something Else about this story that isnt getting as much attention as the strike itself so some u. A. W. Executives and some General Motors executives are under investigation for embezzlement among other things whats going on with that so how does noticed how the president the current one hasnt been in the press at all ghosted ghost is busy and drinks and donuts in the back sort of or he might be kind of just sitting on his couch while the f. B. I. Raids this home that to. Happen again on august 28th the home of president. Gary jones rape his home was raided by the f. B. I. In detroit they seized a golf clubs and 30000. 00 in cash allegedly he was staying in Luxury Hotels golf outings steak dinners with champagne and cigars something we could all use living a very lavish lifestyle allegedly also on that same day out in california it was the former president Dennis Williams now as this is all going on ok the top u. A. W. Official whos actually been at the bargaining table in detroit vance peter humi Vance Pearson he is going to court later this week down in missouri on Money Laundering charges so there are federal prosecutors theyre charging him with helping orchestrate the embezzlement of more than a 1000000. 00 in member dues as this is all going on and you have a lot of u. A. W. Other officials and chrysler officials that were all found guilty this isnt even the 1st one this is after a fact here they are terry jones took over. Or the other guy because of that yes you have ones that were you know indicted on one conspiracy federal tax crimes misleading tax returns accepting money you know trying to cover and trying to hide all of this the most that its former fia chrysler Vice President hes going to jail for 5 and a half years there is actually one in january hes being sentenced on the bottom one my crimes he is could be facing 5 years and federal prison so theres a lot here were going to have to keep an eye on this and i will say its interesting if you start to say the automakers side now coming together and find out theres some shady business. Were digging into that one thank you so much for walking us through this there and thanks for having me thank you. Or it is going to be a Court Watchers dont forget to let us know what you think of the proper coverage of the social media be sure to trick or watching the hawks the pod cast will be able to spot a photo with you everywhere you look your paper pod coming up well begin to the latest results from the elections of israel to see who will be assuming the position of Prime Minister and what the latest election means for the people of israel and the support of the People Powered by its author to go from there to watch. The exit from. Countries accumulate big positions and go thats an exit. Because we know that over the past 300 years no body has survived. For serious conflict mediation never has spoken with one. Voice but recently disagreement between russia turkey and iran has become so still look good not even the leaders try to hide it as the program run its course or is the friction really a sign that its working. Out a huge deal hes. Yelling she dont. Go away. With. Those laws on the course and i recall no calls when he does its always you know the false sort or just dr scott you can still be chummy. With most of them someone not so most of the losses lots and lots you know something to come out it should not have been you were the condition of salted im you seize on that you know found a soft spot dont have to be down to this time i dont tough. Enough for most. Things you dont want to feel committed if you think the contin the committal to yourself you could pull the ripples from the way. The. Result. Has reduced. Him or hes like. Oh. Theres. Things might be looking at tad bleak for the continued reign of Benjamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister of israel watchers after an eventful election day on tuesday that saw both Netanyahu Likud party and the party of his main rival former israel army chief of staff benny gantz come to a dead heat now according to n. B. C. News netanyahu on wednesday canceled a visit to the United Nations General Assembly in new york amid Political Uncertainty in israel while both parties appeared to have fallen short of the 61 seats needed to form a governing coalition in the 120 seat Israeli Parliament against will and why party has a 32 to 31 seat edge on that new yahoo which could give gantz an opportunity to form a coalition with other pub little parties in order to reach the 61 see goal for netanyahu with potential indictments on corruption charges hanging over his head losing the Prime Ministers seat would not just remove him from political power but it could also set him on a collision course with israeli Law Enforcement there is a lot to unpack and joining us now to help us better understand the political impact of this election and what its outcome means for both the israeli and Palestinian People is israeli peace activist and author of the general some thank you so much for joining us and i just thank you both you know i have to ask you looking at these Election Results where were they were does netanyahu stand today and i think the big question is you know are we going to see this guy continue to be Prime Minister of israel is that theres a good word is all the standard out of this study. Well i think there are 2 issues here theres the gossip and then theres the reality so the reality is 2 and a half 1000000 People Living in gaza without water food or or access to medical care 30 minute drive from to the favor of people hanging on the beach and having fun. Thats the reality 3000000 people in the west bank in the similar conditions and these 5000000 people were left out of this election in other words they dont get to participate in their lives will be affected by the next government and all these are the governments. The gossip part is yes and you know maybe on his way out i doubt it hes the better horse trainer he knows how to negotiate hes got more experience than anyone. So my guess is hes not going away any time soon and they still have the absentee ballots in last on the absentee ballots made made quite a difference to the want to see that he needed. I think i think we focus too much we tend to focus too much on the gossip because its kind of you know its kind of fun but the reality is that for the palestinians who are living under this oppressive brutal regime for 7 decades very little is going to change we did see an increase in the number of seats that the joint list which is a primarily palestinian list of Political Parties were present Israeli Palestinian Israeli Citizens. But then again they are such just such a minority that even if they had double the number of seats they still would be completely ignored so in other words a very even even if they even if they do have a larger presentation as perhaps they should nobody needs to Pay Attention to them because out of a 120 see if the government has a majority they can completely ignore them and they will continue to ignore them. There are some issues that i saw online as people saying you know this would be the moment. You know perhaps being the 1st country to sort of poll vote out a authoritarian like regime or authoritarian like structure its like could israel be that democracy that shows the rest of the world that you. Dont have to live in these so you dont have to have a horse trader is really into it what do you think politically that means for the mentally like if. If they do start to say were not going toward netanyahu goal and that they actually do start opening this up what could that mean for the middle east at least well nothing whatsoever because on the main issues and ideologically theres no absolutely no difference between any of the Major Players you know benny gantz was army chief of staff he was bombing and killing people in gaza and he was working for that and yeah so in other words when these when the when the when the trials begin at the hague for these guys are going to be sitting on the bench right next to each other and defendants been right next to each other because theyre both guilty of the same crimes you know and i mean thats and you know gave the orders and guns pulled the trigger if you will but theres no difference on the issue of palestine theres not going to be a difference on the issue of the fate of palestinians there wont be any issue and the Apartheid Regime which allows for democracy for an israeli jew and keep out of the democratic process if youre a palestinian thats not going to change whatsoever because none of the major Political Parties want that to change they all subscribe to that same that same racist brutal regime you know its interesting when we talk about but it gives because you know when you hear of the news articles about him or about his campaign you know the kind of campaign trail promises a rhetoric or whatever you want to say you know you always say you know hes saying oh you know hes hes running on social harmony hes running on pursuing peace with palestine you know is that is it really just about his or is it really just kind of a campaign lip service but you know were going to see if you can be able to white women out and become Prime Minister its all that service he said he will he has no problem sitting in a coalition with the likud party only doesnt on its own the out there so in other words ideologically theres or we know theres no difference he tends to be a little more forceful when it comes to dealing with the orthodox communities that these are the orthodox. Communities and things like that but these are these are really cosmetic differences on the. Major issues are quite happy to sit together and i would ask you know we heard the news and you know it was not coming to the u. N. Jay thats because on that day the president of the state of israel which is really a symbolic figure but he has one job and that is he gets the results and he calls on the 1st person to try to put together the government the Coalition Government and that is the same day so thats a you know wants to be there you dont want to be absent when the president gets the list and picks up the phone and hoping hes going to call him so thats why hes not coming but my guess is theyre all going to hold hands in the end and say you know for the good of the country we all have to sit together because they didnt get into this to be the opposition they want to see to the table and they want to have you know they want their influence on policy. Its sort of its interesting because you look at this same thing where you know in the United States where congress is everything it sat out is that you can have a president who doesnt have the power of congress which you know he doesnt have the ability to make something happen and that you essentially have a system that set up for obstruction how does that if that different how hard would it is it going to be to crack israeli politics in a more progressive way to open it up so that palestinians can see that we can move toward that and i know thats a really big question like how do we fix everything well i wear that i wear the badge for a reason it says boycott divestment and sanctions i think a call the palestinian call for boycott divestment and sanctions is precisely how we do it when the state of israel like apartheid south africa has no choices no where to go cant participate in the olympics is not invited to participate and the any international. Events the israelis boycott it sanctions are imposed on israel and they have nowhere to go then the reflection will begin and then they will open up theyre not going to open up all entirely and in fact the rhetoric leading up to this election and the previous election it was a rush to the right i mean everybody had to prove that they are with the more right wing than that guy and if they wanted to put somebody down they said. Well that guy is a leftist you know they said that that he out was a leftist i mean it was that absurd because people wanted to show that he that they are you know even more to the right than him so theres no theres no signs of anybody wanting to open up theres no nobody talks about the palestinians you know nobody talks about them other than saying we need to bomb them we need to kill them we need to stop their. Taking away jewish lands and stealing jewish water you know and so thats thats thats the discourse so i think it would take it would take a serious you know the boycott divestment sanction campaign. For the world to take it seriously and then i think there are great to be a great hope for israelis and palestinians you know from the outside looking in its sometimes hard you know ive never traveled to israel or or whole story and one of the things thats interesting to them i think a lot of people be curious about who is never could have been so there is there is there any push to help our starting from within the Israel Community its not being represented in the politics well heres the heres the conundrum the. The joint list which is made up of primarily palestinian citizens of israel. They cannot run on a platform that calls for a real democracy with equal rights for everyone because that will disqualify them one of the list has in his platform a call for all of these really citizens to be treated equally and even that was cause for them recalls for them to be disqualified for that just among the Israeli Citizens include the palestinians and treat them as israelis and they almost were disqualified because of that so there is no call for that i mean other than on the very very fringe there is no interest whatsoever in that kind of an inclusion well at this point well how i mean i hope as we see it thats the sort of last gasp of a vessel around the world and i think we are starting to see that little bit little bit little bit and its not enough but one day itll be what i thought i think i think stopping the congressional. Gauging from entering israel has harmed it to a point where i think youre right i think that is precisely whats going to help me go i gotta say thank you so much for coming on the legislature having interviewed you so much. When men go from bavaria kicked off this years schnitzel festival they had but one concern dominating their minds one the biggest metal in the world 60 we answer was. The Worlds Largest metal as certified by the guinness work broke of World Records so gargantuan 400 pork chops 4000 eggs and close to 551 pounds of bread crumbs fried in over 3700 gallons of oil 40 gas burners gave the heat needed to properly cook the seventys square meter masterpiece that weighed 2663. 00 pounds or more than a ton sold for 5 year as a portion the schnitzel sold out with the proceeds going to charity hears so many coffins but of area for making the Worlds Largest net so not a sausage this is there is no worse its.
