Learn that if authorities thought you passed off a fake 20 dollar bill youd be tortured and put to death and under 9 minutes as punishment or that up a group of heavily armed police break into your home in the middle of the night without warning or identification and you and your boyfriend stand up to them they have every right to shoot you dead on the spot. But. If you kill 84. 00 people and burn an entire town to the ground you get off with just a slap on the wrists and a little bit of a fine at least thats the case if youre the pacific gas and Electric Company the 85000000000. 00 natural gas and electric provider behind the devastating 2018 camp fire in california you remember that fire that was the fire that leveled the town of paradise california is considered the most devastating wildfire in the states long history yes after the c. E. O. Of p. G. D. Pled guilty on behalf of the company to 84 counts of Involuntary Manslaughter and one count of illegal e causing the fire earlier this week a california judge thursday passed down the most to brutal of fine of 3500000 dollars for this companys crimes 85000000000 dollars company 3500000 dollars fine 84 people dead town burned to the ground not a single hour of jail time for any of the executives that my friends is the reality of law and order here in these United States of america and in many other places around the world and that is why we will always be. Watching the whole. You want to go on a city the streets you want to. Be so youd like to see that this is joyce state and see a little slice grace suggests least systemic deception is the late show which would be so. Welcome ramona watching the. You know. So boy a boy image we see all the time President Trump other great great. Leaders of our time here in the u. S. Always trumping law and order law and order law and order but this is the law and order if you are mainly looking at this and say this makes no sense to me these people get punished for small crimes by these people over here kill 84 people burn a ton of the ground you know 3500000 dollars fine but you know go about your business because law and order has never fundamentally existed in this country discrimination always has and always will think that the jets position you make here is very important because there is an ideology in many cases that you know there are these strict laws that we should politan make sure that people are saying to make sure that you know where where ensuring that this country is one that others look at as a beacon of the side and were seeing day in and day out that there are some very grievous things that happened right here under the red white and blue and Law Enforcement rarely actually make sure that anything is followed up on much less that people are actually you know held accountable for their actions and heres the actions that were asking p. G. Need to be held accountable for state regulators after this massive fire that we all saw on the news over and over to say regulars of the utility failed to repeatedly failed to maintain a transmission line that broke from a nearly 100 year old tower igniting the whats been called the camp fire and thats not because its cute its because of where it was ignited its not because they want to call it care for. 100 year old so it speaks to the devastation in our. The structure in this in this country but it also speaks to the fact that they could have stopped this repeatedly over and over. This victims theyre not having a job down brother and who died in the fire told the New York Times quote the court is supposed to provide justice i dont believe justice is served by a 3500000 dollar fine if ever there was a corporation of the deserve to go to prison its p. G. And e. Is that the sentiment that you pretty much what everyones feeling at this point and i believe so i mean powerful words obviously i think that once you lose somebody in something that is demonstrably horrible as if you genie case youre going to have a response that is one of a dire reaction what we saw was that you know justice was not served here that settlement doesnt even take into consideration all the depth of what actually occurred and i think that you know revisiting this and recognizing that we could have done a lot more we should have done a lot more that thats just something that we have already why why does the u. S. Have such a hard time why dont our politicians have such a hard time going after these companies because you think about it like enron all that you know they always put these companies up but the amount of devastation that a lot of these corporations do the trickles down throughout the community not just you know here you get a good example from the lit on fire and people died from this fire but just the devastation and the web the kind of the ripples in the water that spreads out when they break the law its its massively its crippling this country and on those details because we do an amazingly good job of protecting big business and corporations and youre right sometimes they are the most guilty of the guilty the most simple of the simple people are literally dying Environmental Infrastructure being torn apart and they never really are punished to the extent of the crimes that they do in the crimes they commit and i think that part of that is because we continue to send a message to corporations that you are above the law it doesnt matter you can never really fully be held accountable because Money Matters over Everything Else and we see those corporations as why america of america we see those corporations as. Where built and founded on and i dont think they will ever reach a point where they actually are punished for their injustice does it make you sick would you then see like these 1000000. 00 per 1000000. 00 your salary pundits get on t. V. And like they talk about like black lives matter and say oh how dare these rioters burn down wendys how dare they burn down this this is a company that burned an entire town and killed 84 people and i dont hear them yelling and hollering about p. G. Any exactly these are the same type of companies that do things like that these are the same types of companies that you know poor a lot of there are a lot of theory chemicals into the water that had a drink every day so we need to really think about you know what leveraging points these individuals have when they throw shade on protesters when they are considerably creating a lot more damage and long range damage that they are never held accountable for the advertising on a lot of these stations that you see these guys get up on t. V. And talk and talk smack about the protesters a lot of those advertisers are the ones who are getting caught in these horrible corporate customers that do far more damage to it to a community than people fighting for justice and equality funny how that works. Judging by the sheer amount of people lounging on beaches memorial day weekend at the lake of the ozarks and the entire American South rarely Wearing Masks you think coronavirus is a thing of the past its not. And the uptick in coated 1000. 00 cases is Proof Positive that the virus might be here to stay instead of ramping up precautions and preventative measures folks seem to be ignoring the threat elite College Sports like ohio state football are taking a page from the Truck Campaign team and asking periods and students to sign wrist waivers heres how its more on this developing story is our team sports producer regina hamm welcome regina hello there bad news back again you are both always with the worst sports news now on the board of the people know this look we know fans and colleges and everyone is craving sports more than anything we need something to watch now all the colleges are could im starting to allow. The practice to trickle in does it clearly show the n. C. A. A. Is need to not only produce a product but also make some money and by no means should say saying like hey you sign a waiver so were not held liable if you get sick coming back to go to school and play for us i think thats what ties into the whole big business the n. C. Double a is still a business at the end of the day now youve lost the march madness for me you lost millions and millions and millions of dollars so now having athletes come back these are now to be said theyre voluntary work out these are not mandatory these players you not have to come back but ohio state is only actually one of 3 schools that allow a similar waiver youre also having at Southern Methodist university and the university of missouri so these players are essentially saying they will waive any right to litigation if they get sick from cova 19 and College Athletes are getting sick from cova 1000 at a pretty high rate just today the university of texas austin said that 13 student athletes tested positive for corona virus and 10 more had to self quarantine because they came in contact with them there are other schools like clinton that have had about 6 other schools reporting one or 2 but you still are having them come back and play sports football is a contact sport by the way for anybody watching so you are. Not going to be able to have social distance so this is a concern because this is showing ok we need to put a product on the field come september we need to make money because the schoolhouse will also on athletics i will say that but is it worth it at the risk of these kids potentially getting sick because of the showing in florida theyre getting very sick and you know what these kids are obviously you know top of one of their fleets of the most holy that can be doesnt mean the absence of the ball but dangers of cold but if they get sick with that they go home you know to visit the family over thanksgiving or the family comes to see them then they get sick with it then that gets carried on when you go out or the College Coaches are lawfully older there are a lot of people that want us there at the end of them that theyre concerned here with theyre like oh you are maybe just going to like a bubble soon but im out of coaches instructors all of them. Have a question so we know bad Dr Anthony Fauci a member of the Coronavirus Task force just today announced that he doesnt think the n. F. L. Is going to return so its interesting that were seeing all of this action around College Athletes there is no indication that kobe 1000 is going to go away anytime too soon were seeing large upticks in virus transmission already so do you think its worth it to colleges and universities to keep trying to make athletic events happen its a double edged sword im playing devils advocate on one end you have universities like brown who have taken a lot of like track and the number of new sports track and field volleyball and kind of relegated them down to like Club Athletic status so theyre not actually those nonrevenue sports in school so the flip side yes you do need to sue the schools make money these kids are on scholarship a lot of them youre taking that away put on the other side cultural as a 1000000 a multimillion dollar product these kids are products until they start getting paid then theyre actually you know allowed to do that but anyway these College Athletes need to understand that the school doesnt seem to be looking out for them you can say oh you know were going to all the safety were going to make you social distance are going to make you wear a mask going to make you you know take your temperature checks into all of these things to keep you in a bubble ok what happens when some these universities also have other kids on campus because this is just some are these cases that like. In texas are just some are voluntary practices these arent when theyre actually students on campus so its almost to a point where they dont the schools are not thinking long term and this is to be said n. C. The themselves have not put out this is not like an n. C. Double handed down agreement this is each schools decision and i think mark emmert at the end needs to make that decision and have a standard protocol across the board were going to see cases rise and you dont want to see the 1st case of someone dying no you didnt mention thank you sir sorry that number is always there i mean how are you going to know that thank you so much for coming out and bringing your brilliance brilliant sporting knowledge to our show always of course thank you so much.

S. Supreme courts landmark g. B. T. You equal rights decision this week and how that will affect the Political Landscape moving forward in 2020 stay tuned it watchable. Small seems wrong but old rules just dont hold. Anything you get to shape out just to become educated and engage with equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for Common Ground the. Become a battleground in the u. S. People. From my yankee is right now my focus because its a very dangerous. Power plant that was attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit this just sort of puts a magnifying glass wheres the power in this country wheres it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is or powerline with the people this demonstrates that struggle in the very real way. The struggle. Were entering nearly a month of consistent protests in the wake of the officer involved murder of george floyd the calls for justice and equality couldnt be louder the crowd are diverse young people old people black people white people latinos and everyone in between all unified to force america to change and rectify its intrinsically bigoted and discriminatory practices it even during this kind of crisis us President Donald Trump found another underrepresented group to kick the l. G. B. T. Q. Community recently the truck administration advanced new policies to prevent health care and accessibility board option for members of the l. G. B. T. Q. Community this is not only hurt but an affront to civil rights. At the height of a Global Pandemic we should be expanding health care axis not decreasing it when our system of foster care and adoption its filled with young people in need of a loving and nurturing environment we should not be boarding the gift of a caring family based on who that family chose to love. This week the u. S. Supreme court in a historic ruling smack down champs making it policies the ruling was a win for the l g b t community and one for equity writ large but we still have a long way to go the protests continue and the streets are being heard but even in a place like thank paul minnesota a groundbreaking site for george boyer protests and the fight to End Police Brutality and other kind of brutality has renewed its head on a deal for a transgender woman was brutally beaten outside of a Convenience Store just a few days ago her attacker was seen by millions in a barrel Facebook Live video do you or was beaten by some 20 plus men predominantly black men this type of brutality begs the question do all black lives matter here the answer that and more is Preston Mitchell writer and professor of law at Georgetown Law Center welcome preston. Thank you lisa thank you so much for having me always a pleasure having you on the head of the trumpets ministration has continually worked to chip away at l g b t q rights and the Republican Party has largely backed him you know theyre in lockstep the make up of the Current Supreme Court lends itself to a conservative leaning thats received here and never seen in the past why do you think they veered in the other direction in defending l. G. B. T. Q. Rights in this case and what does this ruling mean for the community. So i think its because some of the Supreme Court justices actually cared about the law and applying it correctly so you know as admission mentioned you know by a vote of 63 the Court Essentially determined that title 7 of the Civil Rights Act to 64 should withstand the law now of course you know we can talk about how this decision singlehandedly judie the Top Administration specifically the h. H. S. Final 11557 we know that. Are protected under the law we understand that people like myself actually should have rights under the Affordable Care act and we also. Stamp the truth ministration has consistently from day one its one that homophobic can transform legislation so this is no different so if you ask the specific question of why certain for why the court specifically whites who just says that he actually not made it were against him i believe it is because frankly we are not the only people that are tired of trunks and i think they dont want me part of that homophobic transfer transform that legacy thats actually ministration has interwoven thats part of fabric of society from birth to empress then i know that weve had you on before and weve discussed this partially but we know that a lot of the cold cases are increasing how are they l g b t
