A day and author of understanding socialism professor Richard Wolfe thank you for joining me today professor i want to start with you these these protests are just ravaging the overall become more peaceful what start with the basic question of why is this movement spreading worldwide. Well i think you is the beginnings of what anyone should have understood was coming this is a major on all on working people across the warning i mean you put 40000000 people out were at a time when theyre already under pressure because the government didnt prepare very well and then make nor is it manager we know and youre pretty equal under. Pressure and when you lead with you but they dont know whether they will. Pour in you know youre going to exclusion and theyre going to. Impact well kinds of communities and unfortunately you will see their reaction by the police in this country you dont have a good record here youre going to see anger on the part of people whove suffered more even than the average person was unemployed and then we have this tragedy of the United States that there are constantly reliables of efforts just split the working class from having a uniform and organized reaction in to fighting battles over racial differences that we should have put to rest a century ago a lot of frustration from not just americans but now is spreading worldwide rick Racial Disparity and injustice isnt just an american issue. Its not really that much about Racial Disparity and injustice whats happened in america and i can tell you i think from my experiences as an immigrant who came to america as somebody who grew up with parents who only made 11000. 00 a year combined income thats what my job my dad having 2 jobs and my mom having one job sewing leather shoes in a factory. There was a famous russian immigrant who came to america about 100 years ago sarah his name was abraham mass law and he said if youre a hammer everything is a nail if your hammer everything is a nail thats whats happened to our Justice System in america about 30 or 40 years ago and successively since what weve done is weve militarized our Police Departments weve militarized our cities for economic reasons and for political reasons we have chosen to put all of our funding all of our money on those people who arrest people rather than those people who helped grow people so go back to the what i just said or what maps said if youre a hammer everythings a nail if youre a Police Department whos wearing camouflage and Army Uniforms everybody is the enemy if all you have in your city are Police Officers and you no longer hire counselors psychologist teachers park and recreation leaders then the people youve hired see everyone is a killer let me ask you if they see their job yet they if theres a lack of good storylines is this a lack of resources no no its not a lack of resources its news in the resources in the wrong way it in other words every politician in america from city councilman do mayors decided somewhere along the line 2530 years ago that they would have stump speeches that said im going to give you more Police Officers im going to be tougher im going to give you more cups. Im going to give you teds to have on the streets im going to get your cops machine guns and that continued over time and over time and what it did was it turned us all into boss versus them and its been going on ever since and everybody you know i know theres obviously a Racial Disparity in all of this as you said and it does tend to break more toward africanamericans who look different but if you really look at it Police Officers in america out there also versus them that theyve developed many of them are good people but theyve been put in that situation so thats what theyre going to do and they also do your job to go out and arrest people there is that there is a and i dont know where im and theres an experiment i dont recall the name of it where they place a sociologist i believe performed it with a place certain people in cop uniforms others as prisoners when you get somebody that authority had 0 training and they they felt the power they felt that authority so i understand what youre saying rick professor what you talked about the exacerbation of this because of the frustration of the pandemic when you have so much unemployment what were looking at right here but is this actually going to change anything is it time for change. Well i think what the message is which i hope our leaders get all the one confident that they will the hope is and i gree with regard to this if you dont change the way youre proceeding how you were allocated your resources where you get the adequate resources to deal with this if you think you can dominate or redress or for reasons you dont match on dish in being that you cannot keep squeezing them ration of your equal the way we are doing now fundamentally economically what we did all the way shes this is going to weeks we have Serious Problems in this country theyre not being addressed theyre being let because we dont have the money going where it needs to go. The rich get richer everybody else is worried your little list is all thats now empires natural external it was from. We are that. Well rick little less than 2 minutes a quick answer here at the World Economic forum is looking to adopt a new format next year theyre actually going through a new slogan the theme is the great reset of 2021 this is obviously an elite gathering that happens annually every january and davos is that moving the needle even further should this meeting be held elsewhere. The only problem with this is that every the changes that we make fundamentally are going to have to come from the bottom up i dont think you can change things from the top you dont change things with your president or your governor you have to change things at the state at the level where people are actually feeling this this shift this change with the Police Officer for example look ive said this before its its as simple as this if you want to take every Police Department in america starting tomorrow and take every cop and say 2 days a week were taking away your badge and your gun and were going to assign you to a playground or a school or a craft area or whatever and were going to give you a coachs had a whistle or were going to give you an opportunity to help young men grow and learn about life or were going to let you do arts and crafts with young small kids or women let you be a counselor it would fundamentally change our society overnight and its not a law that comes from above its about creating relationships with people that right now in our country do not exist well and we have we have these people over here our authority of people over here who have known well thats not right we have seen some protesters some of Police Officers kneeling at what the protesters sitting with the protesters but you question and ask yourselves is this for show is this the do they is this intentional is this i mean how many George Floyds have there been that we have not seen will smith had a perfectly is just its not that its changed its that now we can film it right. Yeah yeah yeah thats a big part of it i think i think professor walford agree that in the end we have fundamentally screwed up how we create our society and then you have of course some of the media members who are you know cheering on this afford taint of society that weve created you know professor of i dont know about how you feel about this but i think in many ways theyre just as theyre just as much to blame absolutely i couldnt agree more i mean thats why we need the fundamental change and youre right it not only has to come from below but that is where it is in fact coming now theres an irony here we dont reach well enough there where looking is a no good form of redistributing wealth the message is if you dont want to redistribute in violent and always youve got to start by distributing it fairly we dont do that in our capitalist are we looking at basic income basic universal income is that something that would solve that thats a shrug in that direction its not the particulars that are necessary rick sanchez is right you have to change the whole mindset the whole organization otherwise the piecemeal thing the things that will be said and done that dabbles will become a Nation History in 10 minutes because the reality is being worked out in every workplace every officer or. Strangle you and i really like what you said rick what you said about placing these Police Officers taking away their guns place them in a playground giving them a west saw a ball cap acting like humanizing them because often oftentimes theyre dehumanizing and its unfortunate well well see where this goes from here protesters arent going anywhere go had read. I was just going to say we need to stop putting it all on Police Officers weve put them in a horrible situation and many of them are good people essentially playing the role that weve given them and you know what i love america i love this country im so proud of the opportunity that i got from this country coming here is a poor refugee and i think we can work but we need to create those relationships to make it happen and i trust that we need we need a less hostile thank you so much for that discussion rick sanchez host of the news rick sanchez and economics professor Richard Wolfe thank you again. Back here in washington d. C. The demonstrations appear to be peaceful compared to days prior however protesters say they will continue to exercise their 1st amendment rights and they will not stop sharing their message of injustice and racial inequality arties Rachel Blevins has been covering the protests in the Nations Capital throughout. This now outside the white house rachel what is the latest on the ground. Once theyre out here we have just learned that all 4 officers were fired for their role in george was will face charges but at the same time that has done very little to change the atmosphere here and while protesters say its a good start they also say that this movement is about much more than just words floyd now were here outside of the white house about as close as we can get to it as you can see behind me there are hundreds of protesters that have gathered on the other side of those protesters there is a line of armored personnel so far weve seen military police and federal police and behind them there are 2 vehicles now there have been different reports today about whether active duty troops would be coming on the ground here in d. C. To police these protesters but defense secretary mark. Doesnt believe this is the way to hold things or the way to deal with these protests so for now it looks like there wont be active duty troops on the ground now its important to know just how peaceful these protests have been over the last 24 hours here in washington d. C. And thats a credit. Important because over the last 24 hours weve seen some of the largest protests so far take a look at what we saw earlier today. Protesters gathered by the hundreds in washington d. C. Wednesday morning for a march to the Capitol Building demonstrators said their goal was to continue spreading their message despite the threat of an increased crackdown finally the protesters are marching to the capital right now here in washington d. C. And we are here in calls of no justice no peace say his name george floyd is a higher name Briana Taylor and people that have gathered here want to emphasize the fact that this is a largely peaceful protest but at the same time they are still adamant about bringing attention to those cases of Police Brutality the cases where americans have lost their lives at the hands of police yet in these cases as they have said there has been no justice and they say there will be no peace the protest was organized by the Group Freedom fighters d. C. And they repeatedly emphasize the fact that it was meant to bring awareness to a message that has been at the heart of these protests since the beginning organizers were seen handing out bottles of water mask and Hand Sanitizer and demonstrators included people of all races all ages and all backgrounds this protest comes one day after thousands were seen marching to the white house marking the largest gathering the city has seen since the protests began many of those protesters broke the 7 pm curfew implemented by the district but even then the demonstrations were largely peaceful and the clashes with police appeared to be minimal. Now the overwhelming message from these protesters has been that they want their voices to be heard they want to see justice for victims of Police Brutality like briana scalar and towards void and they want to see a shift in the way the policing is handled here in the United States now even with the curfews even with all of the militarized police that we have seen here on the ground these protesters say they dont plan to stop anytime soon reporting for boom bust outside of the white house rachel love and art scene. Time now for a quick break but stay here because when we return the twitter feud between the social media giant and President Donald Trump continues but now the company says it isnt going after all misinformation well explain as we go to break here the numbers out there but. Virtually never great is founded on the rate in the murder. Nothing changed so we said oh response so these situations that were dealing with. People just sat there we will this day she is just people killing each other blood to kill the children. How many still is just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down law enforcement. This country doesnt work for us it doesnt function for us. This is cant be happening in america we call from the streets weve got to deal with why this is the reason i have to write like this is the reason. Senators financial Survival Guide i dont buy any im a features. Of the climate thats unless some of my x. From the future crocker wants kaiser. I know team. Action. Which searched for. The u. S. Trade representative announced its plan to open in months a geisha is on some countries over a digital tax plan on american tax giants will the u. S. T. R. Office is concerned the Digital Services taxes are discriminatory against United States companies who must go. Now to discuss kristie is a u. S. Instigating another trade war with the rest of the world this time over digital taxes. All right now the u. S. Is opening probes into these nations planning higher duties on tech giants announcing that it is and best in australia brazil the new india indonesia italy spain turkey the u. K. And the Czech Republic so this could lead to charges being imposed was on the countrys exports to the u. S. Now this probe encompasses general taxes that have either been adopted or are under consideration by the countries as a move seeks to determine whether or not the u. S. Levies on electronic congressman it against american technical amazon so all of this looks like a rinse and repeat playbook of how the trade war with china 1st started out socalled section 301 investigation by the u. S. Was conducted and after several months the u. S. Concluded wrongdoing by china led to an escalation in tariffs on about the 60000000000. 00 worth of goods so it is not far fetched to think that the u. S. Its instigating another trade war get it get so right now the organ our Economic Development is trying to find agreement among 140. 00 countries on a global tax overhaul in order to address how multinationals particularly tech giants are taxed in countries where they have users so its set to present a plan by the end of this year and many countries are desperate for fresh cash as the Coronavirus Crisis has emptied out the government coffers and right now theyre turning to very well capitalized tech giants for revenue well and it is an Election Year so this is important for President Trump we know he likes to start these trade wars he has to be careful about the timing of this so kristie the wave of of the markets there continuing to march up this is despite the pandemic whats the latest there. Well the market is rallying against wednesday on the back of better than expected Economic Data that i have some data show that the u. S. So its a sector contract at less than expected we bounding from an 11 year trough so last month when you came in at 45. 00 which still indicates it can. Action in the Services Sector but at least its bouncing back and the a. T. P. Also reported wednesday that companies lost another 2700000 dollars last month and normally this would be a really nasty press but instead this came in significantly above expectations of 8700000 so the market is taking that as a sign of good news that the most severe job crisis in u. S. History is about to turn as the economy starts to reopen so theyre trying to trying to twist the narrative from the bad news is bad but its not so bad so its apparently a bit optimistic continued claims also drop by nearly 4000000 and then on top of that there is also this growing optimism for additional government stimulus so it is likely that americans will receive a 2nd round of economic stimulus payments under the proposed heroes act which is on the table as a 3 trillion dollars package right were still waiting on that on that vote but of course there are these protests have taken over the time of these senators and people in office kristie tensions continue to build up between the east and the west as china is now facing mounting criticism for its security laws it imposed last week on hong kong now the u. K. Is getting involved whats happened there. So this is a completely unexpected move wednesday when u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson pledged to provide british citizenship for nearly 3000000 hong kong residents in response to beijings newly inactive security laws so he can announce that people in hong kong who hold the Bridge National overseas passport will be allowed to come to the u. K. For 12 months with out of news and provide an unspecified pathway to future citizenship so this is quite unexpected as britain has just left that you knew in part to curb the flow of european migrants into the country so the nation right now is also facing an uncertain Economic Future due to coma 19 so if history is any guide analysts suspect that this is likely to be an empty gesture that britain may actually grant the right to abode to maybe only a fraction of the passport holders mainly entrepreneurs professional. Financiers and people who are deemed politically sensitive but even so china is of course furious at these turn of events and u. K. To stop interfering haul cars and chinas internal affairs this is a big game change in the the events of an awful unfolded from this this war that beijing imposed bulbous cohost christi i think you. Enqueue. In light of the new executive order signed by President Trump twitter is attempting to clarify its position on removing what it calls misinformation from the platform that includes a new clarification in which twitter claims company wasnt focused on flagging all misinformation but instead is giving priority to posts with the highest potential for harm well joining us now to discuss has been west coast lets get a journalist Ben Swan Bennett twitters newest statement about this came out in a tweet on tuesday and it reads we are not attempting to address all misinformation instead we prioritize based on the highest potential for harm focusing on manipulated media civic integrity and kovan 1000 likelihood to vary and type of potential harm along with search our reach and scale factor into this will what do you make of the statement yeah i make of it that its a ridiculous statement look at twitter is scrambling right now to try to figure out how to deal with this executive order that was signed by President Trump we talked about it on the show for section 230. 00 of the Communications Decency act was it was just simply is a liability shield for Tech Companies and its not just whether facebook and google you tube as well they all hide behind is this liability showed which allows them to be a platform that cannot be sued the problem is that twitter and these other companies are not acting as platforms they are acting as publishers and with an editorial control so what twitters trying to do now is clarify and say no were not actually using editorial control d meaning were not you know since arena all this information were just dealing with things that might be misinformation and harmful to the public and so theyre trying to set themselves up almost as a sensor of things that have public detriment to them the problem is that this is been long documented that twitter shadow bans users and they control and editorialize content on their platform now theyre trying to spin this and theres a difference between fake news and Something Like having editorial control over something that could be high. For all violate their terms of use one of the tweets at twitter flag that was won by the president and which trump said when the looting starts the shooting starts critics say that it was an allusion to the u. S. Era segregation so how does twitters context checking fit into the example versus Fact Checking well thats thats what twitter is now saying is theyre saying were not Fact Checkers we dont fact check but we do context check no they dont we absolutely do not context because context checking is actually a more difficult job than Fact CheckingFact Checking z. Z. That checking goes in and says is the statement here true or untrue just a flat scale context checking says lets go into the context of whats being said determine whether or not in the greater scheme of lots of information this information is still accurate or true none of that has anything to do with what the president said what the president said was something that was considered insensitive it was consider race baiting did it was a throwback to many people to the time of segregation and so they saw it as offensive so you could label something as offensive to some people but that doesnt mean that your context for what were going for because you think it right theres no facts involved in it he was just simply saying something that was off the cuff and was demeaning to some people but at the same time theres nothing to do other context or fact check there its really interesting how theyre now changing their language for that but then meanwhile were seeing a number of out of context twitter accounts become protest accounts for example that out of context bojo course meant account with 180000 followers it posted bail funds for people to donate to posted advice on safety protesting and amplified black voices fighting against Police Brutality why are these accounts doing this and is it even a smart move. Well its an interesting move because you do have these theyre called like you said out of context project horsemen or out of context futurama and what they do is they take these basically fan sites and they are now becoming politicized listen i think they they they say we have a big platform and we can use it for good i think that smart but at the same time there is a certain point at which people say i dont want every part of my life and every time i go to social media to have to deal with politics i want to have a look at Something Else at some point so its an interesting kind of balance i think theyre going to find theyre absolutely been less cohost an investigative journalist spent one thank you will see if they find that balance. There are things. Just at this time you can catch going bust on demand on the brand in portable t. V. Apple mail on smartphones through google play and the Apple App Store by searching portable t. V.

We go to work so you straight home. Raging destruction fear and despair how has the United States found itself in such a state of turmoil growing income inequality systemic racism or a voice in politics if youre gay what is the difference between a protest and a riot and is it accurate to say the us has become a state. According to several sources felice in the United States kills from 2 to 4 people every day my. Head his hands. With said eyes the wind the fun one of my being arrested for players fun for me and. That is just their little world to establish. They develop the spouse against them its. A long history of 202025 years as. I read this from someone close to 00. 00. There is a corruption inside of the police well theyve been closer is. Very building never great was founded on the rapes in the murder. Nothing changed so we said oh response so these situations that were dealing with. People get shot every day she is just people kill each other blood to kill the children. So it was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down law enforcement. This country doesnt work for us it doesnt function for us. This is cant be happening in america we call from the streets weve got to deal with why this is the reason i have to write like this is the reason.
