Would. Like you know that i got. Them on the watch of dogs i am a rover and im top of the law lists you know i mean you know me and im very new oh im a big no nukes first then ive bender hiroshima and ive been there on the anniversary of the bombing and ive seen ive met survivors you cant look at me i have a survivor and look at literally burns on their own network as your government dropping. Foul disgusting piece of mechanics that the world should never ever see and right in the middle of their cities so but yeah but these are low yield x. Low yield news these are ok nukes these are battlefield news these are the nukes the everybody says is right and chipper that we can use because were not to prevent people from also using. The honor of the modern eggs i like the idea of it smaller nukes you know things that are easier for people just steal more for us to give to you know get in the hands of the wrong people yeah lets make them smaller explosion of less as large as the or i was only a third only if youve any idea like anybody would say about i think just go in or really do some research on what happened and thats a great point and whats interesting is you know our you know theyre coming off the Assembly Line now theyre ready to go and slaving is the kind of world reaction to starting with our old cold war numbers sis you know russia got a whole arms race of nuclear pull with everything going down the thought we have when asked about the production of the w seventy six dash to the Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters this issue has was already included in last years review of washingtons policies in the Nuclear Sphere as far as we can see that provision has now been translated into the language of Practical Action certainly this by no means promotes security in the modern world i think hes got an excellent point julia just basic logic you know more weapons more thing is that literally ruin life as you know it wherever there is is probably a pretty good coming up quick you know the u. S. Is still stuck to withdraw from the intermediate range Nuclear Forces the i. N. F. Treaty which you dont read good and not about to really sort of were walking out on february second apparently right and that really bothers. Me on so many levels and its hard for me to understand how all these hard core reagan republicans all the time have left that go so quickly i mean the whole thing with gorbachev and reagan that was a huge part of our childhoods to seeing that thing of being the cold war is over this race with russia they like pepsi and blue jeans so. You know just learn to get along and i thought thats what we were doing i thought thats what were moving toward but we really havent seen that though from the last president and now with development these new missiles and development of what suddenly bringing nukes back and making nukes popular again make nukes great again yeah im good its not just russia either no because china has to i mean there is no china has to sit back and go well now whats going on because i thought were moving away from new so one of them standing where is a senior fellow at the East West Center has warned that the u. S. Should avoid a policy steps that would as he put it quote provoke china into trying to compete as vigorously in the area of new of numbers of Nuclear Weapons as china competes the United States and lots of other areas on it and this is this is what happened so its its you know were going to keep fighting over who has the most and its alternately that of losing game for everyone nobody wins when we have trade wars nobody really whens what we have and the arms race is no yeah youre exactly right and the thing that gets lost in all of this that i think lot of people dont remember is that remember the these weapons are built in you know you will spark trees i mean more than ten percent of u. S. Manufacturing demand in the u. S. Is the pentagon aerospace and defense spending with contracts with Lockheed Martin boeing and the usual gang of crazies you know Industry Experts highly of that approach the eight hundred thousand defense jobs intelligence stars and other occupations are tied to the Defense Industry where people have to remember is that theres are citizens fingerprints are on the bombs that we drop in other countries which means that we are culpable the person who made the bomb is just as culpable culpable as the person who pulled the trigger the person who ordered the person the perpetrator were all guilty your weve got to stop this. In july of twenty seventeen u. S. President trump stood next to then Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and broke wrapped in a brand new manufacturing plant that was to bring thirteen thousand jobs to the struggling state but not even golden shovels can dig a hole deep enough to hide from the news that the Company Behind the plant Foxconn Technology group has reconsider the deal the factory was originally slated to be a ten billion dollar facility twice the size of the pentagon which would employ around as you said thirteen thousand people and what were known as low skilled manufacturing jobs those not requiring a College Degree or specialized training which is why many were confused when louis wus special assistant to foxconn c. E. O. Terry good told reuters this week that quote in wisconsin were not building a factory. Foxconn now plans to create a research and development where there with most Product Manufacturing and assembly happening in japan china and mexico in addition foxconn announced this week that they would not be eligible for nine and a half Million Dollars the state job creation tax credits since the only created one hundred and Seventy Eight fold time jobs and twenty eight team not be two hundred sixty promised like so many election promises it looks like this will be making workers in wisconsin blue but without a collar. Its so true that is true. Foxconn called when its not just you know President Donald Trump failures and wise but it didnt come it was the best representation of politicians as a whole because theyre also really good. Indication you can kind of follow them out of the sort of Koch Brothers on the state level and what happened to that this is what happened is you had a bunch of politicians like scott walker pushing this idea if i can get these big businesses will get them in here and then this simple addition and subtraction of mass of this in that area was just too complicated for first scott walker and its like throwing money at these companies and they just kind of like left it up with them dont really ever fall through i mean its like building a stadium for an n. F. L. Team you did something for. And leave a leader on build a stadium that might have had something people can spend money on going to. Look at the initial package of two point eight billion income tax credits for job creation and Capital Expenditures one hundred fifty million in sales tax exempt exemptions there was additional incentives as well right so the local area just the city and that municipality had about seven hundred sixty four million and local incentives and then another hundred thirty four million in state and local road improvements by the way huge part of wisconsin. Budget to fix the roads that already need to be fixed was this was shrunk in order to make sure that the roads around the fog massive foxconn plant would be really well. Rounded. It shows what happens when governments put corporations before people they absolutely should not get the money and assume the money if theyre only if they promise thirteen thousand as much as its nice to see a thousand people get a job its not worth that kind of money is going to cripple the state of wisconsin oh were going to see how theyre never going to meet those those amounts to say first and you have to remember all the things they were getting you know fish and wildlife to our department of Natural Resources the d. N. R. In wisconsin was able was giving up like entire e. P. A. Guidelines they were saying yes you can. Go over the wetlands you can dump things underwater in the air who cares but ultimately these are not manufacturing jobs thats what we were promised that is what the American People kept getting promised and specifically people in places like wisconsin michigan minnesota iowa thats what all these politicians want to and thats what everybody want to on was this idea of that they were going to bring this back and michigan and detroit was going to come back and that idea was this idea of bringing Silicon Valley in to say wisconsin you saw it with you know amazon and its give them a bunch of things so that theyll come here and give jobs you know then if they dont have those jobs thats the problem either friedman asserts or see a professor at cornell said a little bit about this so why Silicon Valley work when it did so good value became what it is to say today a precise layout the moment that production was leaving much of it headed to asia the intellectual property associated with manufacturing that takes place in wisconsin will be owned by foxconn or whatever brand foxconn is supplying and there is little reason for the company to relocate r. And d. Or other high skilled highly paid jobs and that is why i believe also that this whole foxconn thing is not going to even why would they build an r. And d. And then have to bring people in from out of state because apparently we dont have enough Skilled Labor and engineering i mean that opens up a whole other side of this topic that we dont have time to get to it which is the education of the American Worker and. You dont even have to im going to work this deal just knew this was coming we both know i hate it when im right about. It as we go to break log watchers dont forget to let us know what you think of the topics weve covered of twitter you tube and see our poll shows that are. Coming up we have the debate behind the wall over the quality of prison life whistleblower drug darker stayed true to what to before. Welcome to max kaisers financial survival guide. Looking forward to a year thats without. Yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain. Watched as a report. Attempted force regime change in venezuela brought to you by the trumpet ministration washingtons close interference in the internal affairs of the slot an American Country is risky neagle in the possibility of large scale violence is very real one thing is certain the people of venezuela will suffer the most. And. I think one of the main reason why now we are working on this comply nationals but. Because. Of the different organization. The previous issue osogbo sure still balls a fifteen. To all previous q so. Its one of the best National Incident in the. United states. To use and its a tax on other countries. Economic sanctions or are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is play some military press countries and talking about. And there is still be an answer to. That country and the leader of that country. Has a responsibility for the. Week to make the rest of. Us without us there. The myths and legends surrounding the prison system here in the United States are many but one of the most prevailing to this day is how much better prisoners have it than their longsuffering guards or all of us on the outside we saw their stereotype raised its head again during a recent round of stories covering the Us Government shutdown over the Holiday Season everyone from usa today to n. B. C. News of the Washington Post reported that while federal Prison Guards were working without pay prisoners were treated to a holiday banquets and feasts usa today noted that some prisoners tucked into a christmas spread of herb dusted cornish game cornbread dressing gravy rice pilaf and assorted pies and a week later they were in the new year with grilled steak black eyed peas green beans macaroni and cheese biscuits and even more pies this led to calls this led to call them prison union chief joe rojas exclaiming to the media that this is appalling were not getting paid in the inmates are eating steak the inmates know whats going on they know about the shutdown and they are laughing at us. Many of taken the media to task for reporting these events including former cia officer John Kiriakou served twenty three months in a federal prison after blowing the whistle on the u. S. Torture program he joins us now to discuss some of these myths and the controversy surrounding the treatment of prisoners and their food in the federal penitentiary system john thank you so much for coming on my pleasure so jon i got to start with you lets get this out the way tell us about the great five beasts that you had over the holidays while serving time you know how many michelin star ships are working out a child line of federal programs theres exactly zero you know on my very first day in prison and it was my first full day it was a friday which is fish day and one of the other prisoners said to me oh its friday fish day i said ok i like fish he said no youre not going to like this fish we call it sewer trout and so we went down to the cafeteria and sure enough in plain view were the cases the boxes of fish that were clearly marked alaskan cod product of china feed use only not for human consumption we had that that animal greed fish every single friday for the whole two years i was in prison and that was just typical that wasnt an anomaly or an outlier thats typical of the of the food in the prison system wow i think i think i saw something to you mention of one point to that even before you went and somebody got caught for feeding inmates dog food yeah there is a company in texas that provides what it calls ground beef to the federal prison system it also makes dog food and somehow there was a labeling mix up and so they sent an entire shipment of dog food to the prison the prisoners ate it the company realized its mistake and reported itself to the Justice Department it had to pay a fine none of which went to the prisoners but the shame of it and i said this in my bed the shame wasnt even that the prisoners were fed dog food. The shame was that they didnt even realize that it was dog food because it didnt taste any different from what they ate on any other day remember much of this food is just simply not human greed food youre not supposed to be able to sell this kind of stuff its for animals to eat another thing too is whatever theyre able to buy out there on the market at a deep deep discount theyll buy truckloads of it for example we bought a entire eighteen wheeler worth of year old bagels they were bagels that had been dying for st patricks day the year before and so every day for four months we green bagels. And thats again its typical there were no i just did cornish and assorted holiday pay like i dont know what prison that guys in i played over had that even though i wanted i went to a private school that im still paying for and i never got back so i know it all about that one of the things that youve mentioned in articles and something that keeps coming up when you do any research on these president s is the very real suspicion that when you look at the amount of that is budget to a particular president or the president stressed out for whats for food and when you really see whats being done you do the math per prisoner the money is not all going to those prisoners youre absolutely right no what happens is though by the truckload of green bagels and then theyll also buy. For them in your own or once it was containers of hummus and thats the food thats eaten by the guards so the guards will put in their order the prisoners cook it for them and take it to the guards cafeteria or or dining room and the rest of us eat the slop that they buy in the eighteen wheelers so a lot of that money and remember all of it is supposed to be budgeted for prisoner food. But a lot of it goes straight to the guards and you see it on some of the more local levels when you have like county persons who are going to townships and theres actually weve reported on here there is places where the sheriff gets to keep yes any money extra for me as ample yeah theres a sheriff in alabama that sieved so much money on prisoner food and kept it that he was able to build an oceanfront beach house so im going to run business wow perfectly legal but. Theres going to be the argument saying look these people are prisoners why should maybe they should be grueling up and why are you know theyre being punished for committing crimes why are we worried about what do you say to that kind of order i would answer that two ways number one show me in my sentencing report where it says that thats one of my punishments is to eat animal greed food and secondly when you feed people this kind of garbage youre your reason your medical costs exponentially and so it actually costs the Justice Department more money to skimp on the food because they have to make up for it plus on medical research and by extension is across them taxpayers more but its right to but they dont forget too that the bureau of prisons is the largest has the largest budget of any agency inside the department of justice larger than the f. B. I. Theyre so there and yet theres still this part of amazing thing about about prisons and its sort of the myths and stereotypes theres this idea always that you know well they get to go to college for free if they get to go do all this for free they get to watch cable theyve got workout equipment thats what i heard my whole life growing up oh im glad you said that actually if i could interrupt you for one second for workout equipment. So theres a small commissary in every prison and everything is marked up thirty percent so if you can get it for a dollar at walmart its a dollar thirty at the prison that thirty cents goes into a Prisoners Fund its from that fund that the prisoners are able to buy exercise equipment baseball equipment footballs. Its all of those things are coming right out of the prisoners pockets thats not taxpayer money but in reality if were trying to rehabilitate someones why would you want to make them youre going to give them food thats going to make them more depressed its going to make it harder for them to feel healthy and c. E. O. Like youre going to put someone in a position where they spend twenty three and one twenty three hours a day in their cell and one hour outside youre not going to have like what what is is making out why do these things still persist why does a persistent we know it doesnt it recidivism isnt down no its actually up you know there are a lot of misnomers in the in the u. S. Prison system especially the federal prison system there is no such thing as getting an education in prison and there hasnt been since the one nine hundred eighty s. You cant learn a skill you cant learn something that youre going to be able to use on the outside those programs just dont exist and they havent existed since Ronald Reagan was was president so that and this notion of club fed for example that there are Tennis Courts and putting greens what prison were you in that you had club fed with Tennis Courts and part of the story didnt have tennis and you know the ones that was that no in fact ive heard people call her prison camp cupcake because thats where the easy its the minimum security theres no such thing is as a pleasant prison i dont care how minimum security is what what how hard so how do people go about whats the first step the people need to take in order to look this is ridiculous whether i know someone who is in jail or im just so. We care about the fact that were abusing people who probably i would say a good portion of them didnt actually hurt anybody to go into jokes a lot of it was the most didnt a lot of its like im not and im not thats right how do people go about helping the situation or solving the situation only way to change it is through our elected representatives on capitol hill and much to my surprise there actually are people on both sides of the of the aisle who are willing and not even willing but but excited to try to reform the system we saw a passage of the first step back just a couple of months ago and thats what it was it was a good first step it had been sponsored year after year after year through the Obama Administration but but Mitch Mcconnell didnt want to bomb or to have a political victory and so he blocked a vote on this in the senate for it each year well now with with a republican formerly a Republican House and a Republican Senate and a republican in the white house they actually passed it with democratic votes. Thats a great stepping stone a good starting point to enact real reform which i believe is going to actually bring costs down and recidivism down here and i think theres a lot of levels to it too of the whole prison system from guards guard pay guard training guard every have an exact about private prison oh yeah i dont like is that theres so much on every corner of this but i think we can all agree that prison food is not a bad day and you know i really dont you get you off the air that i went for two years without ever having seen the crown of a piece of broccoli you know i often wondered when you go into the Grocery Store and they have blocked broccoli florets what happens to the stock because the prisoners are eating stuff while that is being ugly fruits and vegetables john i got to say thank you you know thank you so much for i hate the fact that you had to go through this thing that i want to grow things that i knew so much that the other side of this to where no you didnt voice out there and hopefully we can see some changes things and drugs are you on it. By inserting a human gene that produces proteins it do with chickens d. N. A. Rosslyn technologies in edinburgh was able to create chickens that lay eggs containing the costly drugs that we now want to take and pill form these slightly pampered chickens are not harmed and their pens are much more natural than the cold sterile ones used in large Scale Factory farms the researchers have focused primarily on two proteins one that has massively powerful antiviral an anti cancer effects and one that stimulates the damn its tissues to repair themselves three of the eggs would be enough for a full dose and the cost of raising the chickens is asked to maybe to be between ten and one hundred times cheaper than current pharmaceutical manufacturing grown costs now dont expect to see them in. Their own breakfast treats wont be available from doctors for least another decade or so but there is hope that they might be able to develop immunity boosting eggs for. Farm animals to avoid antibiotic resistant super but its also good feed the eggs to farm animals as a how to make their immune system strongest we dont command about x. So we dont take in more and biopics and become resistant oh its so hard for me because like part of me is like against the geo genetic modification by the likes of stories like this a black hole maybe theres a maybe theres something good to a man this time but its a cool story theres a really cool story that is our show for you today and remember everyone in this world we are not told we love them up so i tell you all i love i am tired and out of the list keep on watching those hawks out there and have a great day and night everybody. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see that. Ive been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u. S. Has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten thousand dollars fine chappie each day. Eighty five percent of Global Wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. China is building a two point one billion dollar a i Industrial Park but dont let the numbers overwhelm. The only numbers you need remember in one one doesnt show you cant afford to miss the one and only. Measure the stand have. At all. I know that i know there are a lot of i think there are rather you know across the top of the four or down here that. Im going to let them but i dont touch them and you can keep an. Eye on floozy china for truffle. And get this whole full plate choice. And pay off the tongue in theory has said. A. Model for the fuck around mr hates it for jim and then oil that are fairly in their court. Attempting to force regime change in venezuela brought to you by the trumpet ministration washingtons gross interference in the internal affairs of this latin American Country is risky you neagle in the possibility of large scale violence is very real one thing is certain the people of venezuela will suffer the most. This is a stick from the water bottle phone in the stomach of the fish the brand is part of the Cocacola Company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that lets tell consumers there are the bad ones there the litter bugs are throwing us away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. Soon as excuse. That seems. Unusual especially. On the. Mountains of moist only grow high.
