Working Americans are struggling to pay their
bills during the pandemic, but Congress just
[4]
opened up their checkbooks to give the military
industrial complex, another $740 billion.
[10]
And at the same time they did it the war pimps,
the war pigs, I like to call them, they want
[18]
a war all the time. The Liz Cheney, the Dick
Cheney crowd, who now has become a Democrat
[24]
crowd where you have Democrats buying into
this whole story, we have to stay in Afghanistan
[30]
forever. And why? Because the same Democrats
that voted though, we're not going to pull
[35]
out of Afghanistan, follow the money on those
Democrats. Go ahead. Pick it up.
[40]
Right. We have this Democrat controlled house
armed services committee last week came up
[45]
with the new budget for the military that
they want to get passed, $740 billion at a
[51]
time when 31% of Americans weren't able to
pay their mortgages this month, 30% last month
[60]
couldn't pay because we're in a pandemic.
They keep telling us there's not enough relief
[65]
funds. We can't give you another stimulus
check. We can't keep increasing unemployment.
[70]
It'll make you needy. But we're going to write
a $740 billion blank check to the military
[76]
industrial complex, to the Pentagon because
when it comes to war, when it comes to the
[81]
military, there is always money to be found.
When it comes to helping people, sorry, there's
[85]
nothing left.
Let me tell you, let me tell you where it
[87]
really lands, the media. The media is so much
a part of this story. It's almost like we
[93]
have a whole generation of people of these
young journalists coming out of journalism
[98]
school. I suppose, hell I don't know if they
do the have journalism school anymore. But
[102]
they're coming out of journalism school and,
you know, they've been raised on an entire
[107]
generation of news that surrounds Glee. What's
happening to the actors in Glee? Who is, who
[114]
is Justin Bieber marrying today, or who is
he hanging around with? So you have these
[119]
journal, I call them journalists light. They
aren't journalists. These are kids, I promise
[124]
you would not have made it through journalism
school 25 years ago. And it's their lack,
[129]
their lack of being able to look at a case
like this and say, this is what we should
[134]
be reporting. The military has $740 billion
that they're giving away that, oh, by the
[140]
way, is 15 times higher than the Russia military.
It's what, half a dozen times higher than
[148]
the Chinese military. There's nothing even
close. We can't even use the weapons we have.
[154]
We have a thousand of everything. And the
military at one point was saying, we got too
[158]
much here. But the Democrats, the Democrats,
I love this. It used to be a, you and I would
[163]
talk about a story like this, we'd talk about
Republicans. Now it's the Democrats. The Democrats
[168]
have bought into this war forever. You know,
look, we were going to get out of Germany.
[175]
We're taking 10,000 troops out of Germany,
which seems like a good idea. We're taking
[180]
our troops out of Afghanistan, which seems
like a good idea. But the weapons industry,
[184]
they don't like it. And now the Democrats
who make big money from them, they don't like
[188]
it either.
Well, no. And as you pointed out, it's a lot
[190]
of it is because the media gets this money
too. You know, these checks may not all go
[195]
directly to the media. Some of them do, by
the way.
[198]
Oh yeah.
Pentagon does pay Hollywood. They pay television
[201]
producers to make these pro-military themes.
But that's a story for another day, but this
[206]
one.
A good story, by the way, we need to do this
[208]
story.
Absolutely. But this money goes to these defense
[210]
contractors who then as we've talked about
a hundred times, turn that money to MSNBC,
[215]
to CNN and say, we're going to advertise products
that your viewers can't even purchase, but
[220]
we're buying your loyalty with this money.
Polaris missile. Okay. So you have Boeing,
[224]
McDonnell Douglas advertising missiles. Are
you going to go out and buy a missile? No.
[229]
The reason MSNBC is covering this story, the
reason they're doing the advertisement, they're
[234]
getting a ton of money from the ad business.
CNN making a ton of money from the military
[239]
complex. That's why these idiots won't even
cover a story as important as this. Glenn
[245]
Greenwald, buddy he's on their track.
Yes.
[247]
He's, Green, I think it's the best coverage
I've seen of this problem. So, you know, we
[253]
can't expect anything from the media. We have
to go other places to get stories like this,
[257]
don't we?
Absolutely.
[258]
Farron Cousins, thank you for joining me.
Thank you.
[261]
One of the few unanimous decisions by the
House and Senate in recent passage of Donna's
[266]
law here in Florida, it's going to seek justice
for survivors of child sex abuse for years
[272]
to come. Legal journalist Mollye Barrows is
with me to talk about it. Tell us, first of
[277]
all, who is Donna? Why they call this the
Donna's law? How does it all fit together?
[281]
She spearheaded this. Donna Hendrick is from
Orlando, and she said she was abused by her
[285]
choir teacher two weeks after her 15th birthday.
And this was in the early 1970s. She didn't
[291]
tell anybody about it for 40 years. And when
she finally came forward, she suspected that
[296]
there were other victims of this teacher up
to five other victims, and she couldn't do
[300]
anything with her allegations and her accusations
because the statute of limitations had passed.
[304]
So she started a petition and basically got
30,000 signatures that got the attention of
[310]
victim's advocacy groups, as well as, as you
saw the state legislature. And they went ahead
[314]
and moved forward with bipartisan support
and passed this law and bill rather, and then
[320]
the governor signed it into law.
Yeah. It's similar to other statutes that
[323]
have been passed around the country.
Yes.
[324]
And it's just the logical solution to it.
What does, what is, what does this law do
[330]
for survivors of sexual abuse?
Well, it gives them an option and a voice
[334]
because it is such a common tragedy actually
to happen in this country. And sadly, most
[340]
of them never really even report it at all,
or when they do finally report it other States
[345]
like Florida until recently had statute of
limitations that kept them from being able
[349]
to come forward. And what we do know also
about predators who abuse children, is that
[353]
they continue to do it. And if you have one
child that could potentially report it or
[357]
a person that's grown up and could report
it, you could be preventing this person from
[361]
abusing other children as well. So this is
going to give victims a voice and an option
[366]
when and if they are abused and are ready
to come forward.
[368]
When this opened up in other States, the Catholic
church got a new 4,400 cases of sexual abuse
[377]
because it got, you know, it empowered people
to say, yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to go,
[381]
go ahead and do something about it. And the
impact was startling. So this is a great,
[386]
this is a big victory, isn't it?
Well, it is a big victory. It'll be interesting
[390]
though, because the law only applies to offenses
that have been committed since July 1st, when
[395]
this new law went into effect. So, you know,
those kids that have been abused as miners
[400]
up until then are still subject to those statute
of limitations. But from here on out, it's
[405]
going to give victims and victim advocacy
groups a lot more power. You know, they're
[410]
going to have some, some, some meat behind
what they, their threats, if you will. They're
[413]
going to be able to pursue charges against
these predators and perhaps take them off
[418]
the streets for good, but there's still a
long way to go. And it's just unbelievable.
[422]
As you know, our own Kim Lambert is handling
human trafficking cases and it is just pervasive
[427]
worldwide, but the vast majority of children
that are abused, it happens before the age
[433]
of 18. Most of them are girls and it happens
that they're being molested or abused by someone
[438]
that they know, either an acquaintance or
a family member.
[440]
Yeah. The human trafficking case that we're,
cases that we're working all over the country
[445]
now, it's an eyeopener because you start realizing
that there's so much, that it's so organized.
[451]
That you start seeing the internet sites that
know exactly what they're doing.
[457]
Yes.
They know exactly that they're part of trafficking.
[460]
The big hotels, they know they're part of
the trafficking. The airport, if you go to
[465]
Atlanta airport now, finally, they were busted.
They understood exactly what was going on
[470]
when they saw people coming through trafficked.
So now you hear the announcements, if you
[474]
suspect trafficking is taking place, report
something. But this is the, I think these,
[480]
these human trafficking cases that we're working
are gonna open up a whole, a whole new consciousness
[487]
of how this takes place. It's not just isolated
abuse most of the time.
[491]
It's not. And what you're seeing is a perpetuation
of more cases of isolated abuse, as well as
[497]
the trafficking, because it starts on an individual
basis as well. A lot of these victims of human
[502]
trafficking were groomed for it either by
the current abuser or maybe by a previous
[507]
abuser, again, somebody in their family or
an acquaintance.
[509]
Ghislaine Maxwell, you know.
Exactly who is now suing Epstein's estate
[512]
to pay her legal bills. So that's why Epstein
victims, if there potentially are more in
[517]
the state of Florida, can't come forward because
of it didn't go into effect.
[519]
Isn't that an example of how badly we've dropped
the ball? We take this animal predator Epstein,
[525]
he's an animal predator. There's no question.
He's, he's got all the animal predator qualities
[531]
about him.
Yes.
[532]
And so the, the, the judge has the right to
put him away forever. Instead, he does nothing
[537]
to Epstein. He literally lets him go to jail
when he wants to go to jail for a period of,
[543]
you know, several months. And everybody around
him got away with it.
[547]
That's right.
Everybody around him just walked away because
[550]
of the way that we, we see political influence.
I'm sure it was part of this story too. You
[556]
know, there's part of the reason that she
didn't have the right to do a lot of things
[559]
she did up to now was because of the political
influence. We just don't see the importance
[564]
of what's happening here right, right in front
of our eyes. Mollye, thank you for joining
[568]
me. Okay.
Thanks Pap.
