Speech, that early were told that they were not allowed to protest. so very interesting here how this happened. now, the head of shell has talked to cnn. they say they did, in fact, say that they would lose some overtime pay if they didnt attend. they said thats normal for these kind of events. if the workers didnt show up on friday when the event was, of course theyre not going to get their overtime. however, they do deny that they ever wrote that memo. interesting here dynamics. not sure exact...

Blurring this line or just trampling all over the line yet again. and that is just normal now. and there, again, no fuss at all from the republicans in congress who would have lost their minds if barack obama did this. >> lets talk a little bit about the -- what the law says about this. are you allowed to do that? are you allowed to dock people their pay if they dont do a political thing? >> well, look, i think its a little fuzzy, and i think the union leadership has to answer for why they did t...

They were given the option to take paid time off instead. if someone chooses to take pto theyre not eligible to receive maximum overtime. clearly that part of the message came from shell, but as for who distributed the memo were unsure of that. >> i also want to ask you were getting reporting about the white house plan to cancel foreign aide, what do you know about that. >> theyre finalizing this plan. essentially the plan could cut about $4 billion in foreign aid. that goes to the state departm...

Higginbotham, nor am i dismissive of the strategies of protests which have been so important. nothing im saying here absolves our responsibility to be citizens. >> mm-hmm. >> but white people get to be citizens as a hobby. black people are supposed to be citizens as a full-time job plus overtime, and i have great friends who have dedicated their lives to fighting for injustice, and i love and respect them for it. but id love and respect them even if they didnt do it because black freedom should ...

See -- >> and bryan, youre right. you get down to brass tacks, some are saying the guards fell asleep. one wasnt even a guard. he volunteered to help because his co-workers were working so much overtime, he wasnt really a guard and fell asleep and tried to falsify the documents allegedly saying that they did check on jeffery epstein every 30 minutes. stand by. the breaking news continues. i want to bring in dr. wecht, a medical legal consultant. he performs around 500 autopsies a year. dr. wecht...

Epsteins death thats now being looked at and investigated. there are so many troubling questions about what happened here, but theres also a lot of misinformation about what people are being told. i know that being a prison guard is very hard work and they are underpaid, but the mcc, the metropolitan correctional center was not severely understaffed. it was operating according to my sources at about 84% staffing capacity. and the guards were not worked down to the bone. according to the latest f...

Sleeping guards and a high-profile case. cameras arent working. the roommate is removed. they had coordinated decoy ambulances. this is less realistic as a movie than "lord of the rings," and that had hobbits. hobbits arent real. the point is and i said this yesterday and ill say it again. incompetence looks like corruption. you cant tell. the fact is the post office lost 8 billion or seven billions. bureaucracy is pretty bad. this is another example of a large business run terribly. >> jesse: j...
