G. In the country that has found that they were doing this you said theyre sort of squirreling away money so part of what it was is the settlement and the bankruptcy filing come just 2 days just today is after the announcement that the new york a. G. s office had uncovered almost just almost in just over a 1000000000. 00 worth of wire transfers from her due to private accounts Bank Accounts owned by mortimers that mortimer. He doesnt he could go either way with that if it werent for those durn kids who doesnt have a brother i know but he does sound like a like a scooby doo. So this isnt the only one there was a number in states like ohio where they had found that subsidiaries and multiple Shell Company s. Of per day or at the door the Sackler Family had been putting money through swiss Bank Accounts and you know anybody who has a skate bank account is totally on the up and always you can trust them completely so theyre kind of saying this idea that purdue had all these Shell Companies that theyre hiding money and thats why theyre doing this now is so that they actually do have billions have no way and they wont really lose anything and thered be no personal personal effect for for the people that were spreading that as a grow addiction around the world that is incredible i mean im out there and its illegal you cant you cant move money blood to hide money thats wildly illegal but a spokesperson for. Mortimer sackler or buddy mortimer denied any wrongdoing by family and told the media quote gores ready this is a cynical attempt by a hostile address Attorney Generals Office to generate debate amatory blinds to try to torpedo a mutually beneficial settlement that is supported by of so many other states and would result in billions of dollars going to communities and to individuals across the country that need help billions like the software from. And im sure the agio is a rural hospital. Their whole office and everyone in there and i bet all those states are law and cynical toward the oh my god youre so cynical you can show us billions of dollars lives wasted families destroyed all because the so the sac lawyers could have a few 100 extra 1000000. 00. Thats really what it was over im sorry for cynical and were a little were a little hostile towards you and your family mortimer i mean at the end of the day youve destroyed some was a because you werent alone there was a lot of other big brother this is not appropriate about going into places like india and china they went into china and tried to sell opioids addicted addictive opioids to the elderly. If that alone doesnt get you like a hostile oh no that you are at the end of hostile. And out of that i dont know if this is going to be the end of the secular family i feel like i feel like one of the stories this is going to keep going on and on and probably well. In 1958 the United Auto Workers union was called quote more dangerous than sputnik or anything soviet russia might do by Barry Goldwater when they dared to suggest the idea of Profit Sharing in the auto Manufacturing Business at the time journalist mike wallace even argued that Auto Industry executives deserve their exorbitant salaries and bonuses because they bear the red and they run the company while unionized worser workers asking for Profit Sharing was an accidental threat to the free market system here is then u. A. W. President Walter Walter ruther a serious response to mike wallace well youd have a very difficult job convincing ford workers and chrysler workers and General Motors workers who are unemployed that they dont risk anything but they dont suffer a loss when the companys in band in bad condition they also suffer but heres the thing you need to understand that this principle is being applied in seward in General Motors in chryslers the executives are carrying in the profits now theyre not sharing in the profits as stockholders theyre sharing in the profits as employees because they run the company but theyre still employees theyre high paid employees. Over 60 years later at 11 59 pm on sunday september 15th 2019 nearly 50000 members of the United Auto Workers union went on strike shutting down some 33 manufacturing plants and 22 Parts Distribution warehouses from michigan to texas. And Profit Sharing low wages and exorbitant c. E. O. Salaries are at the core once again joining us now from more on the story is r t america correspondent ferran fraud sack thank you for having me on welfare and well this is a home its amazing to see problems you know of yesterday still front and center in problems today and so im very curious you know we saw the clip mentioning the c. E. O. And things of that nature of what does the c. E. O. Of General Motors make these days and is there a plan for both sides to come to the bargaining table in this situation so we want to pay the price is right game to figure out how much the c. E. O. Mary barra makes its way ok so will she is one of the top 20 highest paid c. E. O. s and publicist lets just take a guess per year. 10000000. Im going to go with a cool 30. All right so kind of right in between both of that she makes 21000000. 00 she made 21000000 last year and 2 years ago before that she made another 21000000. 00 that that now g. M. Made 8000000000 dollars last year and thats kind of whats coming to a head with this so workers really want to piece of that pie especially since if you remember back in 2014 there was the major auto bailout where g. M. Was given 11200000000. 00 to fix itself those workers stayed and they helped that company come back up to where it is now and so again the talks were scheduled for today starting at 10 am everyones been following this but this you know kind of workers are trying to really hope that this is going to help because the last time this ever happened it was a 2 day walkout 2007 that was like shooting darts at a tank really did not then and workers they are trying to they are planning to see this all the way till the end until they get exactly what they want its interesting because this this strike is very similar and whats happening is it almost word for word on exactly what happened in 1058. 00 and what happened multiple times in the sixtys seventys and some of us remember in the eightys there was even you know these these auto workers strikes and i think theres something really interesting about the fact that they they they took they didnt get raises they didnt get extra things they didnt get the things they had worked for were promised under that guise of well take a little less so the companies stays going tell me what is it that the United Auto Workers are actually asking for so the workers they want and you will pay raises for Financial Security in case the economy were to see a downturn at all or a recession they Want Better Health care they want safer working conditions because g. M. Has to update a lot of their plants especially now since theyre going to be introducing on the line of electric cars and things need to be updated for their secure for their safety and security they want jobs for workers who are going to be who are working at the 4 plants right now that are set to close they want them to. Come back with jobs for them and they also this was interesting they want temporary workers to be made permanent workers because employees said that they had some of them work temp workers for years at a time when even being 3 years and you know one of the picketers was saying earlier today you know if you need them for more than 2 years theyre employed you know now g. M. This is what theyre offering theyre offering 7000000000 dollars worth of those u. S. Factory investments higher Profit Sharing Better Health benefits and 8000. 00 paid to each worker once that contract is signed but again right now both sides are at a standstill who knows when each are going to come to an agreement the thing is very fascinating and its also interesting when you hear that ok well give you a 1000 per worker like a bribe saying hey just stay off the picket lines come back to work because a 1000. 00 at the end of those quick money thats not really going to solve long term problems for these workers and it sounds like the workers are saying we need a Long Term Solutions and long Term Employment and that kind of thing thats very fascinating and like i said this happens over and over and over again and so well see what happens now and weve got so many unions get crushed over the last you know 6 years and collective bargaining to be something thats just ripped out of the hands of everyone from Public Employees to people like the Auto Workers Union who tape who who does they stand where they take less pay they take these things when when companies are doing bad in order because they care and they care about the whole industry and whats also interesting is this is a 4 Year Contract what we have every 4 years we have an election interesting exactly and thats going to im going out earlier just work out a deal guys to get it done. For a big you so much for coming and thanks very great work thank you so much.

Saudi arabias biggest Oil Producing facility was attacked over the weekend and now the Trump Administration is all in behind iran being the culprit r. T. America correspondent Rachel Blevins is at the white house with the story. Well new report citing u. S. Intelligence officials claim that the drone attack on the Worlds Largest Oil Processing facilities in saudi arabia came from iran and President Trump is now saying that hes ready to respond he took to twitter where he wrote quote there is reason to believe that we know the culprit are locked and loaded depending on verification but are waiting to hear from making them as to who they believe was the cause of the attack and under what terms we would perceive now saudi arabia has confirmed that the drone attacks on their facilities did halt Oil Production by more than 50 percent and was from did not initially name the suspected culprit secretary of state mike pompei it was quick to place the blame on a wrong he also took to twitter where he wrote quote we call on all nations to publicly and unequivocally condemn irans attacks the United States will work with our partners and allies to ensure that Energy Markets remain well supplied and iran is held accountable for its aggression but iran is denying all accusations about these attacks and the countrys foreign minister is instead alleging that the United States has delegate its maximum Pressure Campaign and so now its turning to a campaign of maximum deceit a spokesperson for iran spoke out and he says that there is no actual proof the country was behind the attacks take a listen to what he had to say just very vocal as the countries that are dependent on. Those that take advantage of the sit. We should make such comments to reassure themselves to feel secure that they can move ahead with such comments or can only say. However if the rebels then have claimed responsibility for those attacks and all intelligence officials are saying that the drone strikes did not come from yemen the United States does have a history of criticizing brauns ties to the now the us has also assisted saudi arabia in a brutal Deadly Campaign in yemen which they claim is targeting these but that has also created the world worst humanitarian crisis over the last 4 years now this all comes as President Trump is meeting with the crown prince of bahrain here in washington d. C. Today they say that in this meeting they are scheduled to talk about topics that include Maritime Security countering press from abroad efforts to promote peace in the region and Counter Terrorism now it is not clear exactly how the United States plans to respond to these attacks but republican senator Lindsey Graham is already calling for a military force against iran and trump claims that he is waiting for verification from saudi arabia in order to decide how to proceed has received backlash and criticism from independent congressman just in a marsh who responded by noting that under the u. S. Constitution quote the power to commence war allies with congress not the president and certainly not saudi arabia we dont take orders from foreign powers no i was just last week the president announced he was parting ways with his National Security advisor john bolton and that created some hope that maybe the United States would embark on a path of easing tensions with iran but the troubled ministrations of the latest quest to blame a run for these attacks already has sent both fears and oil prices soaring. Joining us today to discuss the implications of these last few days of fire in the middle east is author and former Senior Security policy analyst in the office of the secretary of defense Michael Maloof thanks for joining us thanks for having me yeah but always a pleasure i mean i think 1st the biggest question i have coming out of all this is do you believe in looking at in your analysis of these events do you believe in what the administration is saying is iran behind this i think its going to be difficult to show. For one reason even though they they claim that it was iran immediately where is the evidence i remember 2003 you iraqs w m d i was at the pentagon at the time was one of the few who said they dont have that and we should not be using that as a basis to go to war well that took care of that we know the rest is history but. They would have produced the intelligence we have we absolutely light up that country and we would have had some indication to go public to say this is what they have done from this from this area that hasnt been forthcoming i havent seen it now but who these have that capability even though even though no one wants to
