Someone from hollywood to actually step up Model Chrissy Teigen offered to pay one hundred thousand dollar fine for her and actually its interesting because Chrissy Teigen has done a number of things like that were stepping up for women in situation in the school like this and putting our money where our mouth is which is what everyone should do at this point the courts actually. Did the right thing but usa gymnastics and the u. S. Olympic association doesnt fact need to deal with this i need to take culpability just as the church had to take a call so if you want to happen then and penn state had to and i would even with your say that the church still hasnt taken all to make culpability for the you know for what they did especially in moving guys around so they wouldnt be charged with this and to me this is one of those things yes the crime as egregious yes no one wants to believe that this could happen in their community or with this you know Great Institution or with this great man the piles around and flies on me or jets with movie stars and other moguls but at the end of the day theyre attacking kids what you need to say im out of is enough. Social media is buzzing but not from the latest round of celebrity gossip or political foot and mouth now this week at an unrelated Senate Hearing twitters director of Public Policy at the level required of us monday announced that the company is now working hard to identify and inform individual users if their feed is was or has been exposed to those notorious kremlin propaganda trolls weve all heard so much about parties david miller has the story. Amid pressure from capitol hill twitter is exploring how to notify its users that they sold russian propaganda during the two thousand and sixteen election the director of Public Policy for twitter did not elaborate how twitter would do that or if the company would alert users who saw tweets from russian accounts or only those targeted with ads also the question remains of twitter would seek to impose a notification towards r t after recently the company has been banned from sponsoring tweets on the site and after sharp criticism that it has failed to respond to lawmakers demands twitters announcement does come amid pressure from capitol hill urging the company to do more to battle allegedly russian this information twitter failed to meet a deadline to answer questions sent from members of congress and previously reported that it found roughly two thousand seven hundred accounts tied to the i r x and also ran a number of ants during a two thousand and sixteen election by r t and democratic senator Richard Blumenthal has been a sharp critic of also some media concerning meddling and wants the platforms to notify all users who had wittingly viewed what he calls russian propaganda twitter pushed r. T. For a large ad buy for the two thousand and sixteen u. S. Election but the channel did decline the offer an exclusive twitter offer was eventually declined by r t due to the excessive price tag and a lack of confidence on behalf of r t that this campaign would benefit the network. Correspondent david miller with an interesting point you know this just so gets under my skin at this point because im sorry with the amount of money that the democrats republicans parties spent on this election in social media ad buys probably got far more influenced by something coming out of the hillary camp or the trump camp than some independent troll factory just basically by getting putting out click bait per click so they can get paid at the long run its so absolute. Ridiculous this propaganda this russian propaganda scare that theyre seeing here its like the war on christmas is about israel and to be its like that weve been wrong with it again it goes back to that you get the feeling in the back of your mind are you guys just still looking for some kind of an excuse than like from here on out because now the big twenty eight what will happen twitter users so stupid that theyll fall for this to me its like the its like now the. Campaign failed because i didnt do a good job i can blame somebody else i can blame trip twitter trolls i can blame the democrats for telling people that i most ski individual tried to date children you know theres so many you somebody things well i think its interesting because fundamentally congress and members of congress do not understand how the internet works they do not understand how social media works because by this continued like what we can of this we can of this this you know the Internet Research group magical there are so great that they cant hide themselves from twitter apparently there are so good they can change minds of people those millions and millions of votes and minds get into them but thats some serious return on investment for Online Advertising and quite frankly i think that Hillary Clinton should have used the Internet Research company. And she might have won. I dont really think i think this is sort of what i that strange thing of saying at some point you have to look at it like if this is this is our newspaper state and this is just the newspaper stand of of you know the the twenty First Century if you start saying what can be sold on those newspaper stands which is essentially what theyre saying but you cant put a russian newspaper or a chinese newspaper you cant but that if we started doing that we would be appalled that you would be telling people well they cant see that newspaper because it says bad things that we dont think are true about america so we have to take it off the stands theres something tangible to that was social media people look at it like its not as tangible its just this ephemeral thing that you can just protect in a little bubble and manipulate and manipulate. I think thats i think its just as unfair you shouldnt be telling people that is our choice to make as americans that is a god given our god given whatever you believe in or an atheist the universe gave us these things as human beings these are our liberties these are our freedoms yes thats ours to do with what we learn when its not are you but you dont get to tell me what im supposed to think and you dont get to say i cant read something i cant look at something and that i think it brings up the bigger thing where does this all this does feel like you know this new pressure on social Media Companies to root out fake news and i like all of that its like leave it up educate the audience to be able to tell the difference between whats real and whats and then but let it be out there because this to me seems like backdoor censorship at the end of the day all right as we go to break card watchers dont forget to let us know what you think of the topics weve covered on facebook and twitter and see our poll shows at our dot com coming up we present part two of john still going to be with office of survival of the richest jeffrey i want to miss that so. With the Islamic State and its many confederates defeated or facing defeat in syria what is next for this war torn country what justification exists for the u. S. To maintain military forces there does washington want syria partition itself and why. Thank you. Thank. You it was the most populist of times it was the greediest of times and they quite make sense in our conflicting world where socialism populism and unrivaled corporate greed seem to thrive all at once in a world where the hottest Political Trends setters are the socialist stirrings fueled by Bernie Sanders and the populous undertones of Donald Trumps twenty sixteen campaign yet a resurgent wall street blooms on the news of what many may call the biggest corporate giveaway in modern history just when it feels like were magically taken back to a centuries old Popular Economics movement pioneered by William Jennings bryan and he long the public wakes up once more to a policy making team dominated by you guessed it the omnipresent wise guys from Goldman Sachs so in a complicated world like ours who are the politicians. A true populace can turn to for inspiration this is just what shuts down asked of Donald Jeffries author of survival of the richest well theyre not too many of them left in congress i love Cynthia Mckinney who was in congress when she was run out of congress i love Dennis Kucinich he was in congress hes not going any longer either. Im not sure there are very many im sure that i dont keep up with the politicians much that hes there because ive become very disillusioned with them but. On that issue as far as i know he longs out there i mean there was i wish you luck and of a whole chapter huey long and you look at most people will not even have heard of him unless they are from louisiana certainly he was considered a bit like i did say a populist right to get a job as my of the present day might be to become apparent to huey long but his whole you know concept of basically trying to create a socialist but really noble the working man the poor to make every man a king was a slogan. What were the positives of his regime as as governor well you can look online and see this stats from the he long website that he saved and this is why it would differentiate him between from an f. D. R. Who he came to oppose strongly or later like l. B. J. And his you know these Great Society and so forth he didnt he wasnt looking to create big bureaucracies he wanted to change the tax code dramatically and thats what he didnt louisiana the average family so i mean i have the stats in there but they saw significant savings and utility bills foreclosures pretty much stopped personal property taxes were eliminated for almost everyone in the state only the very wealthy pay them anymore so the average family saw savings whereas under like l. B. J. Type of plan the average family didnt notice that this is war and poverty was obviously lost there whatever war was going on but he wants tax plan hes been hes been derided as a communist or socialist when in fact the American Communist Party the American Socialist Party hated him in fact the left hates. When he looks like he was really walking the walk of what the left claims and wants to do with his tax plan to share the wealth plan he wanted to exempt the first Million Dollars that income from taxes and this was in the one nine hundred thirty s. Thats about twelve million now so just imagine i mean everyone would like i mean what rich person would love that plan to not pay any taxes so virtually no one wouldve been paying taxes under his plan he recognized where the money was it was concentrated at the one percent of the one percent and thats who he was looking to go after and thats why he was much more dangerous than f. D. R. Or any other kind of left as of this time because he he was really doing things and people to put thats why the poor and he didnt play racial politics unlike any other southerner was time. He was just he was honest and hes my political hero and i wish we had someone like him and he was he was populism defined. Do you think you could apply this kind of mean you know obviously huey long was assassinated and he was never able to really make to really make a presence on the National Stage but do you think that there is a pop inability for anyone at this point in our history in the way that our government is designed and its just so interconnected between the congressional and you know the congressional class the major corporations that finance them the presidency as well its sort of its sort of been stripped in emasculated is there any way for any for anyone to get to a position of being you know an f. D. R. A kennedy at this point and say we are going to make reforms that would impact the entire country for the benefit of the taliban while i think the country is so deeply divided and you have perhaps you have the people that are still supporting trump i mean that conservative base who hated him they began with this kind of now coalesce behind him the people that like this plan and you had the people on the left that are i call the social Justice Warrior types that are there in their own little thing its hard to find anyone that would agree on that but i think if someone came up with a tax plan that said the first twelve Million Dollars for. In the first million today where you dont pay any taxes i dont know who would support that especially if you showed it could work i mean he long had economists that show because the money is consolidated top and people realize how much money is and he was also looking already at the time it foundations and things like that we would get the Gates Foundation the Rockefeller Foundation the Carnegie Foundation things like that we dont even know how much wealth is in there let alone what theyre doing but so you have to free up money to go to the masses so they can spend it and live like you a long wanted and he wanted everyone to enjoy the blessings of you know prosperity things grates if you read his speeches today or listen to him hes fascinating the stuff he was saying is that he was advocating a thirty maybe twenty hour work week in the one nine hundred thirty s. He wanted everybody to have a month off vacation every year he was and he was responsible because of the pressure in life for the one hundred thirty eight and the National Labor relations act which we take for granted now thats what adopted the forty hour work week and overtime and started the pension started but now theyre being limited of course but these are the things that were all especially republicans theyre wanting to eliminate a lot of these things they would love to get rid of over time and thats the way people make more money and. I think that standard is because he long would not believe what was going on now because you know theyre going to get rid of these things would be disastrous i think what he was for saying i mean his whole point was look we have Greater Technology already this was the one nine hundred thirty s. But hes basically weve got a technology we should you know you would think that we that would allow for us to have more leisure time to have you know to depend more on machinery and not upon manual labor and man hours to get as much output and yet we have to this day we have people having to work more hours for less money and it just doesnt make sense but the overall. Internet and machinery revolution that weve seen of cross the board why is it that people are having to do so much more labor if we have the technology to actually as we know its make things so much more rapid thats actually give us a. More leisure time or relaxation and it doesnt make any sense the main the main benefit of all this technology in the last twenty thirty years has been the incredible executive Bonus Program that seems to be how much of a bonus can they get every year goldman bro and things like that but youre right i mean with the technology we should probably have a ten hour workweek by this point because there you know theres not with with the dances weve made and theyre not even considering the impact that its going to have on with the Artificial Intelligence out there they dont even have automated trucks on there for there are so many jobs that can be done now without any human beings but again we dont have any foresighted leadership at all theyre not even thinking about what the impacts are they just kind of cavalierly say well you know maybe ten million truckers all lose their jobs or something more one of those truckers going to do fairly
