New york times opinion columnist barry was caused a big stir last week when she suddenly resigned from the paper and accused him of being too whoa to function if you want me to talk about this topic is fair and cousins editor the trial lawyer magazine you know i got to tell you im on her side. Its just this this is becoming so disturbing i describe i describe the New York Times right now is a scene out of home alone the kids are in charge experience editors and journalists are ashamed theyre theyre harassed if they really try to be journalist now shes got some other issues but this woman was right that what she wrote about this paper is absolutely well you know why he says that the the opinion board little to woke for and she did accuse of you know he did do they got this young way of thinking but if you look at the New York Times editor. Board for just the editorial most of these folks are well into their golden years or theyre almost there these are not a bunch of young kids you know if theyre suffering from what culture its just i think decades of experience saying hey this is how the world is now and you know maybe ms wise wasnt you know evolving enough but at the same time the New York Times is garbage like she has read about that there are horrible paper i just disagree with her about reasons become total garbage yet aaron i mean you know i was a journalism major a university of florida very i was news editing major its a tough major you gotta work to make it through there it used to be we said he the New York Times and wed say well this is a i wouldnt touch this newspaper right now lets back up on the story just a little bit she theres no question she had written some material about the rise of antisemitism right and they thought the these kids you call them what you want when you really look at who was pushing this agenda might have been some old folks saying yes because they dont want to get harassed they didnt want to get bullied they didnt want to get intimidated by these home alone kids who are run in the damn newspaper its become a trainwreck so so she shes talking about rise of antisemitism and some folks on the say well what about palestine you know yet treat the palestinians right so theyre critical over this mob mentality has taken place at the New York Times just like it has in media across the world right now fair and what will very wise though on the other hand too has a bit of thin skin and she does have a history and this is evident in her twitter feed Glenn Greenwald has talked about it ad nauseum any time somebody criticizes her criticizes a point she makes she immediately goes to that you are an antisemite that is her fallback argument she cant substitute who they are as not agree with her. Which is a drawback but again at the same time part of what makes these editorial boards great is that they present differing opinions and if you dont like what one of them wrote somebody is going to come along and write a counterpoint to it thats the point of this part of the way that you had a great education really did you had a really solid education matter of fact you came to work with me when youre what 222121 years old and i recognised back then you had a great solid education and im sure you studied John Stuart Mill just like i did in jon Stewart Mills who wrote the most important book on liberty he said this he wouldnt call it groupthink back then but he said theres a really the divine democracy relies on rich diversity so you may not agree with them you have a right to shout but you dont have a right to shout them down and say you cant say this what weve become is this group me were social intolerance were handcuffing the truth we we cant even adapt we cant even adapt to a new idea thats thrown out and also a great article that i think summed up a lot of these kids coming through Journalism School and now theyre out in what i call them social media journalist which is what they are thats what their social media journalist and so these social Media Journalists a lot of then he would study civics they dont study constitutional law they even understand the importance of the 1st amendment take i mean you do hear that it was if you came up with that same generation man right and i think the best example of that which actually is very wise talks about is the recent op ed in New York Times by tom cotton tom cotton puts out this horrendous op ed says let sin the military to take out the protesters it was horrible it was absolutely against what this country and constitution says is ok but it was him. Porton to put it out there a lot of people on the left a lot of my friends and colleagues furious that it was out there but thats the point of it it gets people talking it gets people thinking and even if you disagree with it it shows you what those other people are thinking and to be honest puts into perspective how extreme some of them can be on how were going to do that were going to sit on this and were going to stay on this topic a little longer and here it heres heres my take on it when we get to the point where you have a bunch of intolerant kids who really dont understand the importance of Constitutional Rights they dont understand how dangerous look they maybe they didnt read animal farm maybe they dont read it maybe they didnt read 19 eightyfour maybe somebody in school never said heres the dangers with with you not permitting somebody to Say Something even though you disagree with it and i dont know how you jump through it may and im always fascinated i could come back to you because im always fascinated you came out of it you know when you came to work with me i recognize well you know you call balls and strikes these kids cant even call balls and strikes the New York Times has become garbage because we cant read it without suspecting that its been driven by ideology ok its ideological trash its not news reporting right and look i disagree with most of what barry weiss has had to say i dont even think shes being forthcoming in why she resigned i think theres Something Else there she is not under privilege she charges 50000. 00 to go out and give a speech she is not being silenced but there are legitimate concerns with the New York Times like we have discussed because weve discussed the New York Times being trashed for years i mean it goes back to the yeahs story they go around exactly and you know like donald trump says the media is horrible well it is but not for the reasons you say and thats how i feel with barry weiss yeah the papers. One other thing you know im a fan of going green. Going green well i like him but when i looked at the leaf funk story when i saw what they did belief some anybody brain someone at one of his or his coworkers with an itty bitty brain was offended by some nonsense. I read it was nothing but she was offended about it because its like these kids grow up and they start believing the bumper stickers on the back of their car that mom and pop put on the back of their car saying my kid really bright my kids are exceptional they grow up with that and unfortunately its made their its just its made them not into objective thinkers not into journalism but isnt it into pathetic ideologues right well and they also they do kind to have this you know this isnt just limited to them its a lot of people not just that generation either they have an undeserved an earned sense of im the best to just what i you know do you do have to earn arrogance has to be earned yes and these folks just havent earned it. A judge last week propose settlement for Harvey Weinsteins victims and thank goodness he did you know i got say as you know i have always fought i dont do class actions i handle mass tort cases but i do try i go to trial and i actually try cases for people class actions have become a device that corporations use theyll go hire some bottom feeding lawyer ok this bottom feeding lower will file a class action and all the while theyre negotiating with the bottom feeding lawyer to work out the sweetheart deal the weinstein case reminds me a lot of yeah absolutely the class action they wanted to put together 25000000 for god knows how many victims of this man but it also included people who were never technically victimized you know if you were a woman and. You worked for Harvey Weinstein in any capacity you suddenly became eligible for this and by the way 12000000. 00 for weinsteins lawyers and their legal fee to talk about that is it say its disgusting its not easy to talk about well it makes you wonder whose side that lawyer actually was on because you dont negotiate as part of a Class Action Settlement fees for the other persons attorneys not to the tune of 12000000. 00 half the settlement ok so the attorneys freaked out because the Weinstein Organization declared bankrupt ok we see it all the time but heres how it really works just because they go into bankruptcy in a reorganization doesnt mean that youre not going to have royalties coming in from all of those movies for years and years and years so theres more money there and these people have a better shot honest to god they have a better shot making a bankruptcy claim that will be going on for a long time than they would with this deal that they tried to cram down these peoples throat this judge i really love this shit what is his name Alvin Hellerstein i love this guy he started asking tough questions he said wait a 2nd why the say 1st of all how do you treat a woman who has been raped the same way as somebody you know somebody who has just been a victim maybe been a virtually abused but thats different from right and so he starts looking this is this is a garbage settlement is what you know basically what he said you know you cant the class the whole point of a class is that everybody has the identical or at least a very very similar injury and there is a world of difference between a rape in somebody who witnessed a woman get virtually harassed because thats what some of these where they werent even themselves harassed but they did witness harassment those are not the same of the judge pointed that out very clearly said there are different classes here but you cannot put them all together but i think it was it was a lot of the 12. 1000000 for weinstein and his lawyers that that judge said this this doesnt even make sense sometimes ok 1st of all theres about 100 women involved in all those variants you know this this pig absolute butter pig weinstein victimized more than 100 women in one form one way or another and so this judge i think sees he looks at this at this agreement and he says wait a 2nd this looks an awful lot like its been driven by the Insurance Company it looks like your will in the cave in because the Insurance Companys going to pay you whatever the deal is not the 12000000 but whatever the deal is in addition to that its fees wise for the lawyers and were seeing this more and more fair and were seeing it with a corporation we saw it with the round up case you know with around the case was it was virtually over and we saw you know some some things take place that were kind of suspect fair and cousin scientific joining me ok thank you. Education secretary betsy devos is hit with over a dozen lawsuits alleging that shes been treating colleges as cash cows for putting profits over the welfare of students that more when we come back. Childes seemed wrong on one old world just all. The world is yet to shape our disdain to come out to it and indeed trip it was betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for Common Ground the. Drugs dont do is come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the United States we see a very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids its invaded america under the banner of medicine the persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes at their dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer who is to blame patients doctors manufacturers. 22 state attorney generals have sued the u. S. Education secretary for siding with profit over schools best interest or to brazil those joins me now with the story. What states are taking betsy devos to the court let me preface it by saying you know. How many stories in the d last 2 months weve see devos but she is like a magnet for really ugly stuff and i just wonder which states have the courage to say you know not on my watch talk to me about it. Well also it is being led by the attorneys general of california and massachusetts with other agencies joining from the district of columbia and 20 other states including colorado minnesota nevada virginia new york and more the coalition is challenging a 2019 rule by education secretary betsy device that makes it almost impossible for students who have been defrauded by for profit colleges to have their federal Student Loans cancelled the 21000 rule rolls back obama era borrower defends to repayment protections that offered students relief from federal loans that were borrowed based on the fraudulent and misleading or illegal claims. Of Higher Education institutions because students can no longer use violations of state Consumer Protection laws as a defense in their student loan forgiveness cases predatory universities are now shielded from nearly all accountability. Well theres more to that story i heard you talk about obama came forward with an do 4 but you understand the back story on the back story is that you used to be able to take used Bankruptcy Court if you were working and you were trying to pay it off and just couldnt pay it off you had some protection of bankruptcy or well obama earth during his years as a senator voted against that in provided bankruptcy protection that closed the door for students to be able to have protection from these you know from from being dogged every day of their lives to have this thing paid back so theres a lot more to this story than the surface what scams have for profit colleges in gauged in other words. The gauge i mean the gauge and scams then the student comes out sometimes without a degree at all and they still have to pay bagus loan thats the typical kind of story isnt it. Yeah and there are so many of these scams but this lawsuit particularly highlights some of the scams by proprietary universities including enrolling students in professional Certification Programs that actually lack accreditation that the needed for students to obtain licenses in their profession when theyre done with school while failing to disclose that information to students it also outlines how the for Profit School industry is prone to abusing its access to taxpayer funded title for aid which these proprietary colleges heavily rely on in order to generate money 1. 00 reason the Obama Administration implemented the 2015 rule after voting against it previously was because the years of investigations exposed how for Profit Schools including attack corinthian. Colleges and fell on have long defrauded students out of that money yeah so you see these advertisements can you draw the stick figure if you are youre going to be the next room wall you probably want to come to our call and were going to get you this degree and average of this degree were going to get you job and youre going to be making a ton of money that was always the come along come on to become a come on nurse come on to become a doctors assistant become a paralegal and most of absolute scams but nevertheless at the end of the d they had to they had to pay those loans back talk about the victims of predatory colleges and universities how is this new law really going to impact them. Share proprietary colleges target their marketing to veterans the unemployed and people from low income and minority communities they claim to offer accessible and career focused degree in Certificate Programs to people who might not have the opportunity to enter a traditional colleges which have gotten only more expensive every year since choose these schools because theyre eager to learn new skills so they can successfully join the workforce and shes the American Dream theyre really trying here but if it the government the Government Department thats tasked with helping students allows private companies to continue to defraud them with impunity society is absolutely going to suffer as a whole ok so what happens is the Justice Department doesnt do their job they dont prosecute work for fraud they should browser you for fraud there they dont do what theyre supposed to do and so the student gets sucked into it d. O. J. Is with the federal government so the student comes through the program in the student says look i got to get i cant pay this loan in the federal government you know what youre going to be responsible anyway its a terrible terrible story for the student from beginning to end regime to thank you for joining me ok. Thanks frank Deutsche Bank investors are suing the company and c. E. O. For their financial ties to the late jeffrey d epstein. And just days ago the case was a son to a judge who ended up his family to be murdered but you know what has nothing to do with the story right epstein has nothing to do the story Deutsche Bank has nothing to do with the story but all of us you know its this immediate magnet you know this is got to be connected weve got to have a good story for the nightly news this guy is a nut. Case and he did talk about it but to me its so bothersome when you see the media always trying to trying to corner a story where doesnt belong this is one of those youre exactly right i think it boils down to click bait you know nothing to do with epstein draw peoples attention to i want to know anything about him you know its connected to it because its such a rabbit hole of who did he know any black male people that that the other stuff they can take a high profile case like this which had a loose connection if you will a tenuous connection to the epstein case i think thats why the media went ahead and play to that doesnt have but you come out and youre going to miami 5 yeah as an anchor yeah so i mean i think its just to me its in since that nobody sits back and says look let me call balls and strikes here this doesnt have to do with absolute has to do with a lawyer who is a nut job right he was all over social media claiming to be a trump supporter a selfproclaimed antifeminist who is supporting mens causes and in fact authorities are now reporting that when they searched his car they found the name and picture of another one engine and so they dont know if she was potential target as well but it seemed like this guy was a loose cannon walked up to the judges door esther sallis her son 20 year old son answered the door her husband was right behind them both were shot the son died he the attorney was dressed in a fed ex uniform he took off and then later killed himself shot himself in the head his name is roy dead hollander and so the you know basically the investigation is zeroed in on him they dont think theres any connection to abstain but initially the reports were hey this judge esther solace had been assigned the last of this ongoing law suit against Deutsche Bank just 2 weeks before she was shot and that lawsuit has to go downstairs. And avatar i have proper standards in allowing you know basically Money Laundering to happen dont like but i think needs to be sued. You know there was this whole its enabling its. Heres the point this got a didnt go shoot anybody because the door saying look my memory is i looked at these the background of this guy he was he was a big trumpeter hated hated women he most to hate then you have another picture of another female judge that he was going to shoot thats exactly right found in his car ok so so weve got this character that just isnt wired right and hes the same guy i think that sued c n. N b c for their fake news granted it is a lot of fake news but the chances of him running in a lawsuit was almost inconceivable so heres this complicated character and rather than the media stepping up and reporting the news they come up with their narrative no youre exactly right and its irresponsible reporting and it goes to show when you hear stories like that they havent done the vetting they are trying to do what i call click bait basically get as many viewers and eyes and you know because thats how they make their money if people are watching if they can say weve got so many people watching or so many people following us online then they can charge x. Amount for their advertisers and you can tell a lot by the different news organizations of whos doing that or they just running with any sort of claim thats half heartedly investigated just so they can get people talking about it and its not credible journal when did you have real stories that you know when did you start when did you start as an anchor in the moos goodness it was like in the mid ninetys that i should mumble that yeah ok so we had 24 hour news around but when we have 24 hours news created what were talking about what ive watched how do you get out 1st whats your narrative i guess and thats the transition that i watched when i 1st i tell the story of when i 1st started when i graduated college and started my 1st Television Job in 1906 it was cut. Youre here short dont wear no cleavage no fitted clothing no dangly earrings youve got to be professionally going to walk talk and act like a professional like a man in a lot of ways by the time i left that particular position i still continued to report but that fox News Business model of hot chicks and short skirts and fitted clothes was the model and i was told youve got to wear fitted clothes we dont want facts in stories and im not making that up they wanted all person on the street reaction as opposed to taking the time to dig in because its a dying news model that your average everyday nightly news and so they get they just want people to watch and if they can feed us you already believe they can hit the sensational little segments with a hot chick telling it to you or a handsome pearl i had it for me and for that matter but what im saying is its definitely its icing on the cake as opposed to digging into dinner and telling people what they need right now they only corrected this they got back on track on this story only after being shamed thats the only thing to save them here no youre exactly right and thats why its so important for people to be educated viewers and maybe thats upon the sky dream but i think people have to have a little bit of responsibility of themselves to realize news is a business for most of the outlets and theyre going to sell you whatever they can to keep you coming back for more and if that includes mets and misconceptions they have no problem with that molly barrows thank you for joining me thanks fat. And father and i had some good news the state of new mexico has followed a lawsuit against a Militia Group that incited violence of the recent peaceful protest the group being sued is called the new mexico civil guard the state maintains that this independent group has post serious threats to the public in the past its not their 1st so why is this good news because it helps in the message to anybody who attempts to hijack the kind of protests that were sometimes sitting across the country the that are not above prosecution that group that interferes can be prosecuted this. Situation says that the right to protest is guaranteed to all americans but a line is drawn at violence a line is drawn with Property Damage and the disturbing visions that were seen in some of these protests that are really protest its almost criminal conduct but this group has no right to interfere there or nobodys told them this is your right to get involved so right now the left and the right the saviors that were seeing on both sides have displayed something that should not be tolerable in our society its not protected constitutional conduct but at the same time its doesnt permit this independent group to get involved in something they shouldnt be involved with this should also be good news for the organizers of these peaceful protests because when one of these groups infiltrates a protest and starts destroying police cars or throwing bricks through windows their message is lost its a sea of violence is all that the public sees hopefully more these lawsuits are going to be filed to weed out the bad actors and allow real genuine peaceful protests to continue thats all for not find us on twitter and facebook at facebook dot com slash r t americas lawyer you can watch all our t.
