Know, because golly gee, hate, theyre Getting Better at it. At least thats according to department of defense comptroller, thomas harker, who told the media that hopefully by 2027, the pentagon will finally have a clean audit. Ah, its time to start watching the hawks in a city street there so you can see the crisis. You always state see a great city. This least systemic deception is show which some things youll welcome one and all to watch in the heart. So i am to open the door and imus across. So let me show you. Here we go, man 2, big stories coming out of the military industrial complex. This week we got donald trump saying, hey, i might pull understand iraq, even syria before he leaves office on the 20th of january. The pentagon just cant seem to get its books right over. I mean, both of those stories are really being the one thats getting more, you know, news coverage. And the other one is obviously a pullout methods in part because nobody knew this was coming beforehand. He didnt talk about this during his campaign cycle. Aside from, you know that the ongoing, he just doesnt like wars, he had no real strategy of what the pullout was going to look like. Who was going to still be there if anyone was going to still be there . And what that drawdown when that drawdown would start . So i think that now there are people who are questioning it, basically on the basis of merit and whether he can actually pull it off more so than anything else. Yeah, i mean, ive always noticed over the years and up and gives washington more frightened than someone saying, hey, we might, we might slow down the war machine a little bit and look, i, i am not a fan of donald trump by a member pertaining to be a fan of donald trump, but if someone wants to talk peace or at least get our soldiers out of harms way, so were stop killing civilians overseas. We stop seeing our guys die overseas and just stop that. I dont care who the guy is or woman. Theres that brings our troops home, i just brought home and i think that there are a lot of people who would agree with that. For me personally, it is more of a what are his alterio motives . Because im trying to pull troops out a long time ago. So youre going to need that. I mean, hes a fool for term president. He couldve done this towards the beginning of his term. He couldve done in the middle. He could have done it any time other than the time. Hes also arguing that the results of the most recent election were false, and that, you know, ballots went missing and all the crazy things hes saying right now, i think that theres something more here. And there, i dont think youre alone. Also remember too is that its not like trumps ago because as well as he was talking about pulling troops out of syria down a stand, they were accused talking about potentially bombing iran. So its not like hes some big peacenik coming along. The other big story of this audit, which is really interesting, that you know, the pentagon spot being audited for decades. And people forget that as our money at the end of the bay that theyre using, that they should be responsible for. Despite Congress Passing a law way back in 1990, requiring all federal departments of the government to be audited every year. It took nearly 2 decades. But the 1st pentagon are to ever even be attempted. Ridiculous. Were digging less and quite sad because it seems like federal agencies have no problem auditing individuals and more other federal agencies. So a think that when it comes to the pentagon, there is a lackluster process, because in all honesty, there are a lot of skeletons there. Everybody knows that and i think that you know, as best as they can, theyve been trying to keep a lot of things under cody. Oh yeah. Thomas harker of the acting department. The prince come trawlers kind of overseeing the audit. He said, quote, what you are seeing is a much mature ation of the process. Many of the individual agencies or services are developing more capability and better accounting skills so that they can resolve a lot of the problems youre seeing. Youre seeing significant process progress in certain areas. Q magine telling the i. R. S. That if they came to audit, you dont want to get out. Thats true. You know. But if you imagine the average citizen telling the i. R. S. Look, i know your audience, and i know i failed this audit for the last 20 years. But look, im progressing. Its getting a little better every year. Youd be in jail period, no question that they would come, they would take all of your stuff in you and that would be the end of it. And yet, and yet we let the pentagon get away with this and guess how much it cost to just audit the pentagon 203000000. 00 and about a 1000000000 dollars in remediate cost to fix identified problems, not even the ones we havent identified. The effort covers really roughly the 2. 00 trillion tax dollars in Department Assets including and i didnt even know this, the roughly 26500000 acres of the way and that the pentagon homes talk about a massive agency that is the lot, not only cash, but also assets. The last interesting thing i got a note on this too, is its interesting how quickly both sides come together. Were talking literally today when it comes to like saying, oh, maybe we should pull some troops out of certain areas of the world. And you have democrats and republicans jumping together to say no, dont do that, which is interesting that theyd let it go. But when donalds talking about subverting the election process, no, i again, i think youre absolutely correct there because if they can stand out on this thing, they should have also been able to stand out on the total failure of the president to acknowledge that this election is over most of mississippi, known for its lack of civil rights progress, holding on to the Confederate Flag for far too long and systemic oppression has something new up its sleeve. Recently, mississippi governor and trump loving republican take reids call for 3 1000000. 00 to protect children from far left socialist teaching. Thats right. In the midst of this School Crisis at 19 job loss, the state that consistently falls at the bottom of the rankings in education, health care, and economic develop. It was 3000000. 00. It doesnt have a conservative driven conspiracy theory. The Patriotic Education fund, as its now been deemed, has a few goals. According to governor reid, who claims democracy, capitalism and other American Values are quote, the victims of a targeted campaign from foreign and domestic influence. And no other nation has done more for its citizens or to advance freedom and prosperity across the globe. Well, not to be outdone by the magnolia state florida too has its share of problems. The States Democratic Party is under fire not only for its lack of unity and failure to deliver a win for buying, but for mismanagement from top to bottom. The florida Democratic Party has had one bad cycle after another, but 2020 takes the cake with question defeats all the way down the ballot, and internal party fighting hasnt helped with trucks decisive win margin 2016. The state once considered a valuable swing state, lost that status completely in 2020, in the democratic stronghold, Miami Dade County jail, as well. Democrat, sean scholl, a former state representative, summed it up with quote, we have to turn out problems, messaging problems, coalition problems, its up and down the board. Well, florida seems to have 99 problems and theyre all long standing. Florida democrats have until the Governors Office in over 2 decades and have been out of power in the state legislature for a quarter century. In fact, since obama won florida in 2012, democrats have only won one statewide race. A lot of blame is going on. The lack of latino support there for democrats. Other call outs are centrist and socialist battles. And of course, funding issues. Florida 99 problems with a democrat will mean one of their better hurt. And i mean, thats crazy. When you look at the issues that were seeing in michigan and florida, i think both of these cases or indictments of both parties are certain agree because you see the you know whats happening in florida because just cant seem to get a win because they like you said we dont know our message and we dont know what to do and then in mississippi to waste 3000000. 00. And it is, as i talk to you about this before though im from chicago, i grew up in mississippi in florida. Mississippi is a state that is consistently the butt of all the rest of the state jokes because they rank poorly in Health Care Outcomes in education. There isnt a marker of success that mississippi has done well. So we talk about the dollars for the poorest state in the union. Were going to throw it at Patriotic Education, which is something, as you probably can recall, came up during it against b. L. And he didnt want you to black lives matter. He didnt want to have a conversation, its about Racial Equity in classrooms. So his pushback was, lets talk about Patriotic Education. Lets remove things that have to do a black people, even though schools talk very little about, you know, the plight of africanamericans or the civil rights movement, or our time from slavery to now in their classrooms. Any way the majority of schools have whitewashed education. Now, the governor of mississippi wants to replace an already incredibly, you wore a blue Education System with what he calls Patriotic Education. What they need to focus on is actually math science, reading skills, you know, the regular education curriculum. And you know, if you have 3000000. 00 to spend mississippi dont care what its going to go to a measure of the thing is you cant read the propaganda. If you read, if youre going to change, or like at least teach kids how to read 1st, and thats when the and that tragically is one of the big problems. You see a lot of schools across the mississippi is just the basic level. Like you said, mass science reading, focus on the who cares about what the core bunda mentals they dont have yet. This is red meat for a conservative base, which this is the irony here is ridiculous because mississippi is a solidly red state. It has no means or motive of turning blue. There is nothing that can be done and im sorry, you know, the democrats have to live there. Theres nothing that can be done to quake that it went so hard. Trump, but actually every single republican since reconstruction. It is very interesting that this is where they want to go. Its interesting. Heres the other thing to know. Lets look at florida because you have to bring the port of florida is interesting because look, big passed a 15. 00 minimum wage there. Thats a very left on with the leftist is under the terminology, leftist progressive kind of thing, but yet the whole state got behind that. So why arent they getting behind democrats . So its an interesting question you ask and i think that to flow back to a previous conversation weve had florida is a state that is very much a worker state. And at the end of the day, we have so many people who are Blue Collar Workers who have a lot of people who work in who work in the hospitality industry, people who work in the tourism industry. These are individuals who want to see more in their wages. That doesnt necessarily mean that theyre the same folks who stand in whole banners under the socialist montra. I think that what the democrats can learn from this is that dont run away from things that people actually want to see happen. If you think that they are democratic socialist who also agree that the minimum wage or living wage is a good thing. Thats cool, but people outside of that want to see it happen as well. You know, i think thats the problem is that the democrats right now are so afraid theyre having such an identity. Crisis of being so afraid to be labeled as social youre part of the party is like all over socialism is so terrible, then the other party is like, no, no, we love this. And the problem is i think that they have lost a lot. This election showed us, at least they lost a lot of the blue collar base that they both know that thats absolutely true. And i think the other big story about floor that democrats are focusing on is you, as you can recall, former d. N. C. Chair, debbie wasserman. Shes a floridian. Im still a representative there. It becomes very hard for democrats to figure out what happened in florida when the diverse counties, miami dade didnt show up when you have the latino population, which they claim to invest in for the past few years showed up in large numbers for donald trump in the largest number of any state in the country florida did in terms of its latino voters. What can you do . I think the problem at the end of the day for me is i think, i think theres too Many Democrats who are trying to utilize the old ninetys era ideology of, well, weve got to go more, right. If we go more right and become republican lite or you know, prochoice republicans and then suddenly miraculously will get those republican vote. Its not about giving republican votes, its about getting blue collar and worker votes and blue Collar Worker votes respond to things like 15 dollars in which they respond to things Like Universal Health care. Not because theyre socialist ideas, but because we need those ideas that could have saved us from the situation were in the country. Absolutely wrecked. Thats why were seeing them link up with, f. B. I. You know, which is something that nobody would have ever expected. But that 15. 00 minimum wage matters good point. All right. 2 as we go to break, remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand for the brand new, portable t. V. Which is available on all platforms. Definitely pick it up, coming up americas lawyer. Yes, the one and only mike pesca, tonio joins us to discuss and intrigue, who wasin coming out of florida against one of the worlds biggest multinational construction companies, do not want to miss this conversation. So stay tuned for watching as interesting. Ministration comes when then all those who dreamed up in executing the russia gate hoax ever be held accountable when the media ever be held accountable for the role they played and should be now assume the deep state is truly above the law. Is your media a reflection of reality . In a world transformed what will make you feel safe . Isolation community . Are you going the right way or are you being direct . What is true . What is faith . In the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths or a maybe in the shallows. Its been decades since the fall of spains fascist regime, but old wounds still havent healed in the times when infamous. Because so many from, you know, make own feet. Im a good the bottom, i suppose. You mean on the bus at the source mean they were a bit anxious and they seem caught in which we know of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption. I dont know late for that and i dont roll over the feel of a mentor to this day. Mothers still search for grown children. Adults looking for their parents or yours will pull you out of the mouth and say what about and i didnt do it will always be the good. Is it off the shelf home on a couch and keep it or dont or dont let it be. Come up with a good thing about the how i live and im mad at them and them in the meantime because im not bad as it were. But only that if i say i love them, theyre going to like about it and it is about infrastructure and Construction Projects keep america going. But the companies that make it possible rarely make headlines. But that all recently changed. A Construction Industry giant that is making waves were all the wrong reasons. 23. 00 scots, the construction barges carrying crane beans and other equipment broke free during hurricane sally. This cause major devastation across the scandia and santa rosa counties. And while thankfully, no injuries were reported. The barges cause damage leaving the pensacola bay bridge out of service for 6 months. Locals are holding sconce go countable because they are upset that the company hasnt been open about their world in the disaster, nor have they done much to remedy the affected parties. This is notable because god makes big money in the u. S. 2700000000. 00 in commercial and multifamily projects. The Company Built structures like the world trade center, met life stadium where the new york giants and jets play, as well as several airports, hospitals, and other structures. Lets go, lets go also has a long history of problematic mistakes and some are deadly. The company has been charged with fraudulent labor practices, bribery least, bribery scandals, and black contractors filed racially motivated harassment claims against them. In florida, local businesses, whats got to pay up revenue losses resulted from the bridge outing. And claims of scotts going to not following hurricane protocol have erupted here for more on this developing story as might happen. Tonio, host of americas lawyer. Welcome, mike. Thank you. Yeah, i think you, you know, as i listened to you all open the program, i thought it was interesting. The story was about the pentagon was so interesting because it, its, its kind of a macro of what were talking about. Youre in a more of a micro story, and that is accountability, whos, who is watching the people who are making decisions about things like the pentagon and with americas lawyer. Weve been trying to analyze whats, whats happening with the new infrastructure build out. Ok, we, we have, we have a lot of infrastructure build out taking place all over the country in various places. But what were not doing is were not really looking we, its almost like weve abandoned our responsibility to say, let me show up. At the hearing that were going to have with a company. What scotlands, who are, they says, where they say were the people that are going to improve your infrastructure . Were going to build a 400000000 dollar bridge, and you can count on us. And what we, what weve, weve analyzed this ad nauseum. We think weve taken a look at, you know, mass protests taking place in the streets. Individuals going to state the state on big national issues. But weve forgotten about whats happening in our backyard. This, this, this act of forgetting whats happening. Our backyard probably will cost this, this community, billions of economic loss. And as you pointed out, this was a company, its a Foreign Company that shows up in pensacola. They make a presentation to city council that are half asleep on whats going on in state. You know, state legislators who are completely out of the ball game politicians who care about how much money they can give me the media, barely paying attention to it. And we dont show up the people who live here dont show up at that meeting. And had they done that, they would have found out that this is a company thats paid 20 1000000. 00 fines accused of bribery in argentina. Critical to the fact that they almost cant leave business in south america because of their criminal conduct, cited for using subs. Sub standard Quality Equipment subs, subs the standard. d materials, but heres my point. The point is we have to worry about those bigger stories we have. There are things we have to show up in the streets about what we have to get back to the days when were showing up at those hearings. And were talking about a company that has 170000000000. 00, global revenue, who has now left us in a position in this community. And i can take this story and i can superimpose it all over the country, whether its building roads, whether its building bridges, building infrastructure, where the People Living in that community have abdicated their responsibility to show up and ask questions. Why its so bad that what weve done it with our, with our firm is were committing ourselves to following scans, go wherever they go in the country, wherever they make a presentation. Were going to be there with the scans, his story, the outrageous quality of negligence that took place there and their absolute denial of any responsibility. So were going to show up with those stories. But i think we have to go back to the days where maybe, you know, it was a generation that only showed up for the year. And you know, if there was, if theres a public hearing about a building, a new park, if theres a public hearing about building a new road, people were there. And its almost like theres a generational disconnect where were not showing up. Mike, i want to ask you, how often do you see these big super conglomerate Multinational Companies like cisco and building our infrastructure in our backyard here in this country . Because to me that seems like a job that the government should be doing itself and providing those jobs. Not outsourcing at the some company from what sweden or scandinavia. Yeah, you hit it on the head, real evidence that you have stolen my talking started there is, there is no you hit it on the head. There was a time when we had governments. 1 that did this, we didnt go to sweden or germany or china or japan to build our infrastructure force. You remember, i mean, where you can still see it in your, in your, in your head jansha, the building of the skyscrapers that took place at the turn of the 19th century. You know that you have those leisure was when it was an american, it was american undertaking. And then we got into this idea where we can stand our business to Companies Like stance. Go rather than holding a local Company Responsible for what were doing. Weve become so globalized that its become a point that we have forgotten our responsibility to show up at hearings in stopping this thing. That no matter, no matter whether i win this case or not, there will be no way to correct the damage has been done to hundreds of businesses, 2nd, 3rd generation businesses. You remember i handled the b. P. Case, it was the same kind of problem. And there, there, that was a different now says here weve invited them into our house. Theyve taken advantage of us and now theyre going to go back to sweden and do it to somebody else unless we change the way we think about how we do business in the u. S. In this infrastructure. This infrastructure to this is just a really sad situation like anna and i told the closer i live in pensacola and pay for both the campaign and Santa Rosa County respectively. So i know the importance of that, of that bridge to those businesses. But this isnt the 1st time the Construction Company had foray into bad press or lawsuits. How were the other allegations handled, you know, 5 deaths in orlando highway project project labor practices racially motivated harassment. Theres so much the list goes on and on how they got above those things somehow. How do you think this is going to play out . Got about a minute and yeomanry. Ive been reading my notes and i do not think of it. The only way it plays the only way plays out is this. We have to perp walk criminals. Ok. When people do things wrong, knowingly, we mean gaijin, bribery, whether its in argentina or anywhere in the country. When they, when we have, we found that theyre using substandard quality material to build our bridges or roads. We have to treat them the same way that we would anybody else whose violations we have to put them in. In a perp walk, we have to say, who made this decision . Who knowing that it was going to be our for suitably resulting in the count of disasters that you bring from that kind of business. So you have, we have to treat them like we have to treat them like they are just because theyre dressed up in armani suits, doesnt change. And most certainly my, we need a lot more folks like you and thank you for that call action. And for people to get out and Pay Attention to whats happening in their local neighborhoods in their backyards, because thats how you get a change of government front to back. Thank you so much for the good work youre doing. And i always welcome on this show. I was a pleasure having your answer. Thank you. I sure appreciate it. Love might get his fireman if hes right though people got to get out. Hes definitely ready. And i think that that call i was extremely important because there was a time where people were a lot more engaged before business than Business Practices came in. That might have some type of negative effect. Now there are very few people who show up to those meetings, but the stern aeration, these jonesy, of the millions theyre taking to the streets. So we might see if we might see in the future, we are everybody about is our show for you today. Remember in this world we are not told we love them up, so i tell you all, i love you, i am tired and im on the sick cross. Keep on watching all those hawks never great bend. Let everybody. Its called a memory cruiser. With the word of the national news, new york city, but im still playing us long and some of these which youll see in the local, which is the one with your leanings. Theres a look at your bullshit to look at lucas, which you or yours will pull you out of the woods, but the good is it also keep it or dont or dont let you come up to the truth. Come on, not about the holonomy of them have the gum and the money on time because im not bad with the internet, but oh, november with a deficit. Rise of them. Theyre down to the point about on the number that they are. The only thing is, as it is about to join me everything on the all excitement chill and ill be speaking to get us out of the world of politics. Sports business, im show business. Ill see you that this humans with a gene flow, you know, millions of years to build up an emotional one. When the communication happens within 10 milliseconds in stipends, zoom in the last half destroying that because it takes about 160000000 seconds just flew to get in the same room. You know, this emotional bond between us is very different and its fine. She will bring this back and look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people.
