You listening to Carmody Central October, two thousand. Ninety one probably said rose World news headquarters in New York is the daily retinal here tonight. I guess, and I, as a journalist and an author who covers the billion is who rule the world I didn't give does, is joining Everybody else tonight, my college athletes are about to be rich. A democratic candidates murdered a duck and Donald Trump
Getting impeached, give it up a president. My parents are less catch up on today's headlines. Let's kick it off with one of the greatest viral videos. In a long time, some pretty incredible: video from Chicago's O Hare Airport, a catering truck packed with beverages, spinning out of control on the tarmac. You can see a lot of airport workers are surrounding it. They don't know how to stop the thing they went on for a while, but Does, the truck and dangerously close to heading the planet. Hero comes forward to say, that's how you do it aren't just like that the gas was overturns out a case of water, fell on the gas pebble. The tractor keeps happening in spinning me shit. That is the craziest thing I have ever seen at an airport warming. The second craziest thing. The first is the present, a muffin.
One parent, I mean twelve dollars a thing but have wifi inside of it, but that wasn't saying things: swimming around, and I know just knowing airports depriving didn't tell anybody in the plane what was going on people, S Take me to the pilot was just that guy. We got a slight delay with the beverages. I'll take a few more moments, even just pick, those things up off the ground put them back on the plane. You know someone on the plane was just sitting there and they just like. Oh, what was that out there and all in drawing my complementary died. Pepsi now just watch this video so many times. I love it when my favorite videos and every time I watch the video I see something new that makes me laugh at this disease like like, for instance, what was the video game? For instance, you don't know. Was already been attacked by the court. I see that you don't see that right and then the Duke comes running. It looks like he's outta this guy. He just one like a hero and many ducks at once and then and then the countries
Was it not now it's personal nowadays, I'm ok, I'm coming for those caught grabs, a look at grabbed. The red thing drives it in so called Are you know how he knew this work is our? I am is my favorite part. Here he make sure it's dead. That's the best part is likely to make sure it's dead That's, it was amazing. He took them caught out like the court was Trump and the red thing was the impeachment inquirers. All the red thing was Trump and the cot was the deep state. I dont alienate our pro from viewer Gary, since the I've never seen Zimrud thing at an airport before like a review, as have like. Maybe it's only there to smash out of control beverage caught in the past. Thirty years has been one day. The F aims like,
need one of these next to every plaint trust me, and today he's like what did I tell Ya Arbalist move on to a major story from the world of sports. California, governor signing a first for the nation law that would allow college athletes to get paid to play. Hope in the evening the plane tonight, California's governor Sense College athlete can get paid to play the new law set to impact prospects to attend universities. Like: U S see, you see allay cow instead, the fair paid. A play act signed by Gavin Newsome will allow college athletes in twenty twenty. Three to earn compensation for the use of their name image in likeness out of high school star players could sign with agents in cash in on endorsement
its official college athletes in California, and this is really great news, because now they can afford to pay other kids to take their tests for them. This is really good moment seriously. That I support this completely right cause. I don't think it's ever been fair that the incident to make so much money from these athletes, but then doesn't let them make any money from their own. Work is a bit like kids running a lemonade stand, but the parents take all the cash, the kids, just like I made four dollars like no, I made four dollars you're an amateur who does this for the love of the game as right now the end suitably says that they actually planning to challenge this ruling in court. But to make things fair, I think they should have
whose unpaid student lawyers to see how that works out for them and finally, in democratic primary news, a lot of people haven't been paying attention to any global shine this race, but I think other politicians may want to because she is dangerous and I mean really yours Amy, which are making a bit of an awkward statement during an event in Detroit over the weekend. One time try to point go, but I miss fired the first try and ball induct in the head and peer to peer to Paris TAT, an almost politicians have skeletons in the closet, but I dont think that be actual, duck skeletons in some- was pulled out of love. How she was telling this like a light heart history like that, but this one time I killed a tap and there's you realize that hope
through the audience, is not on board with that murder, and you can change like this. Once I make it a duck and smash his skull and yeah, and I wasn't happy about that in the duck is now at a farm upstate with your goldfish from middles. I know people are surprised that she told the story is well, but the thing is when you're on the campaign trail. All you do is talk all days I mean eventually school. It turned to wit, therapy session This was bound to happen. Every candidate is gonna end up revealing too much as we like speaking of tariffs. One time I someone with my car late at night, not sure if they made it or not, sorry was was the question: are you know the saddest thing is there was no good way to want a duck that the ball is coming
We see it in you be like dogs and the Dutch like. Actually my name is Henry. I guess. If what I have just move, aren't spots story resident trunks, Ukraine scandal like a rash you get from a hot tub, it is growing. Bigger every day is also put a spotlight on Ukraine, because now we want to know everyone who visits the country and what they talk about, which is probably why made the news and perhaps surprising, move a Hollywood. A list or meeting with the President of Ukraine, Tom Cruise visited the country discount potential shooting locations for a new movie. Ukraine's president knows a thing about stardom. He was a successful media producer and, after before he ventured into politics I give you good look this. Is it like you,
and other activities like Warhol, but you know good good. Saying, though even Tom Cruise is in Ukraine. That means this thing goes deep. I think I know how this happened. Tromp was probably like, as America's jobs by I meant to say, You an impassable mission, forget their job. You some crucial for we like sure, I'm not actually a spies. I arrived you're not Spock Perfect, but while Tom Cruise might be the biggest news in Ukraine on this side of the scandal, there's a different man who's in the spotlight right now for House impeachment inquiry is now focus president traps personal point, man, Rudy Giuliani, the president's turning now facing a legal battle of his own tonight as three
committees, subpoena Rudy, Giuliani, looking for documents about his interactions with Ukraine due to survive, because other J cycle is absolutely right? Do you don't have to do anything? I don't want weighing the alternatives on a kind of like go through it I'll get off my evidence together. I'll get my short enough. They let me use video tapes and tape recorded that I, now, we're Giuliani says: you're lonely testified is allowed to bring recordings and like equipment and some people think he's being defiant. I it's your long and boring those congressional hearings are like. If I had to sit in one of them. I don't want to bring my ipad I'll, yeah, ok I'll come, but I'm watching
as long as the whole time and fully back as well. That's the compromise I'm watching at all, but yes, Trump, isn't the only person who's in hot water. For this whole ukrainian Hunter Biden, Joe Biden scandal, it may also take down the person Trump hired to protect him. Giuliani question is: has Giuliani done enough to also be impeached well Let's get to it in the Danish, shows courtroom drama and find out all raw was ah incentives. Ireland's as well come to them Bridgman trial of rooted, Giuliani, personal. Let's turn into the resident and correct
Rabies survive journey is accused of a number of high crimes that have thrust this nation into turmoil. So, let's begin the trial fast catch, the president's lawyers cool don't bring the ringleader descent. I ask us that see the evidence so blower singles out Rudy Giuliani as a central figure in this scandal. The present His personal lawyer is mentioned thirty times in the complaint which cites meetings he had with the least seven ukrainian officials. U S officials were deeply concerned by Giuliani Circumvention of national security decision making and efforts to relay messages between the White House and Ukraine.
Ass in a big rooted Giuliani was the aims of this entire operation. Everything passed through and it stinks to. I have got to say he was mentioned thirty times in the whistleblowers report. That's twenty nine times too many. I mean you know you're in trouble. If you could have your name in a whistle blowers report and the screen lights up like a motel bed under a black lights, but that alone is not enough to impeach a lawyer for impeachment jewel. I would need to see if he in fact has made things worse for his client by constantly saying far too much on tv.
All the evidence Giuliani has admitted to pressuring Ukraine to open an investigation into former vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Giuliani, publicly announced he planned to travel to Ukraine to push for investigations that he told the New York Times quote will be very, very helpful to my client at the time. Giuliani said, We're not meddling in an election were meddling in an investor and then saying quote: there's nothing illegal about it. Somebody can say it's improper. Did you to ask the Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden? No, actually, I didn't know rallied in anything about divide, and you never asked anything about Joe violently thing I asked about Joe Biden is to get to the bottom of how it was that Lukashenko who was appointed right dismiss the case against an tell. You did ask Ukraine to look into it. Of course I do you just ass. It appears Only Army was outsmarted by Christmas
more weeks in and of itself is a crime and even worse, this so called mastermind confessed on national television. Never in my four minutes career as a joke, Have I seen anything like this? The more Giuliani speaks, the more he implicates. Donald Trump he's like the coms. Subject: cautious, six, nine That's their take us a bit, so the defendant is made multiple confessions and honestly, this thing is going to look easier than I expected. I wish all the cases before we went like this. So let's move onto our third charge, which may be the most jamming overall rooted Giuliani, stands accused of being one crazy ass. Mother evidence players in the region. May be silent, she's, not because I'm an end its because I've got facts. Watch
Guy Romney, like you, know what I told them he's our Al Gore. Told president other Ukraine will fight, corruption or I, let me finish press. Let me We also have a conversation along with a lot of other stuff. Is a democratic country. The democratic order. Criminals are not all that. I'm sorry. A lot of alleged criminals not all that money said you actually catch. Why do you think? I'm stupid? You think I've, given you all my evident, Hudson that council and extortion, alleging snored, ruining the vicar or on its head, most treasured it doesnt matter, ship was early one morning, glass desire to cut you off. You're gonna get your voice back down. Clearly this man is out of control. I mean says a lot when you are the most unhinged person on Fox Nipoon, that's like being the smell is press another burdening man very odd to pull off, and so I think
I've. Seen all I need to render my verdict on the charges. Interfering in foreign affairs acting as the president's personal thug and just being an overall hot mess in breach of the hot must act of eighteen. Thirty, four, this court finds you router, William Dracula, Giuliani No punishment punishment will be two hundred years of community service where you will be frightening children at one of those spooky hello in houses content. I will I'll be right back The president's spacing impeachment- and it's all because of this call with the president of Ukraine
which makes it even stranger. The trump is the one who released the transcript of that call. Will we clearly see him asking Zaleski for the favour, but now we are finding out that his people told him not you release that transcript, because even they knew how bad it looked there. A lot of White House AIDS who did not want this transcript to be released. At many argued against it. Who worry that putting it I'll would be problematic for the President. B is good for him. As he expected. You had a real internal debate. You had secretaries minutiae in palm peo, arguing against it privately and also publicly people leave that releasing the transcript would what exonerate them would be exculpatory withdrawn by the way we refer, it was beautiful.
Can safely say? I've never heard someone talk about a phone conversation that we absolutely perfect, beautiful and warm like actually feel bad for every other cold I'm pests make from now on it'll, never middle, never live up to that stand him on the phone with like the leader of Spain will just be like you, but I don't know. I just want to say thank you for the time. I think we can all agree. This was a great goal that actually we're just ok does. You should have heard my colleague, Ukraine, so perfect, so beautiful it was like the event. Girl calls this? This call, on the other hand, is more like an Eric totally at its mind, but I'm not a big bang. Sofa law on surgeon to release the call. Let's talk to a man.
Makes illicit phone calls all the time Michael cost everybody. This call my seems to be the thing they could get. Donald Trump impeached, yeah Trevor Trump is in trouble. Which I understand better than anyone. I was once impeached out of a Dennys at three area, so you are kicked out of a Dennys. Yes, but impeachment sounds classier. Ok, Michael he's my question? Clearly trumps AIDS didn't want this transcript to be released social. So why did the present think this was such a perfect call like? How did he not see that what he did was wrong? That simple Trevor because Trump didn't do anything wrong. Wait what to do wrong? You have to know: what's right in the same way that without darkness, can you really have lied when without the we?
is there might without a gym? Could there be a Dwight Don't go encouraging costs that everyone. Everyone agrees that the United States President asking a foreign led it to do on his political rival- is wrong. Ok, but Trump. No right from raw. So technically he can't do anything wrong. You can't blame a blind man for driving on the wrong side of the road. So you can't blame a morally blind man for committing crimes. Will I certainly wouldn't let a blind man, Dr Weir, how racist It doesn't matter because America voted to let this morally blind man drive the presidency, and now
have no choice but to sit in the back seat. Pray doesn't crashing to too many old lady, Michael Michael. No, it is totally different. Blindness isn't a character, treat its physical, so is moral blindness, in fact it's genetic to the hall, from family, ok, don't forget Robert Mauler, let down junior off the hook for colluding with Russia because he didn't know colluding with Russia was a crime. He walked way from that a free man and then he locked himself in his car so so you're saying Trump shouldn't be punished, because he doesn't know any better. That is ridiculous, so no Trevor its inspiring. If ignorance is the ultimate legal defence than we should all strive to be, as ignorant as possible. That's why, for the past week, When, on learning how to read that way, I can trouble for not paying my bills or ignoring divorce papers are disregarding restraining orders from Danny Jesus cost. I feel, like I'm learning to read, seems like a lot of work. No way it says
simple, as a gene Different blindness isn't a character, treat its physical. So is moral blindness. In fact, it's genetic to the whole trump. What am I to show? My guess is an editor lodge a time and an author whose critically acclaimed book winners take all the elite charade of changing the world is now available in paper. Back please, welcome and get us well come from the daily show. Becky, congratulations on a book that has made you the enemy of billionaires all over the world. You are a foolish man right. Why would you write a book that basically
Hughes's billionaires of being like fake good people as philanthropists. What is that even mean? There was no good reason to do it, except that it was true. You know we live in this time and I was thinking about it. We talk about the president because he's kind of an example of this he had a fake foundation that not all fake, but we live in this time of which rich people you can't walk down the street in Manhattan or other parts of the country, without bumping into a rich british and change the world right mark Zuckerberg on changing world Elon Musk is gonna. Try to change the world Jeff Pesos, changing the world. There all changed the world, more money being given away. There has ever been given away the history of the world for our young people of the elite graduate delete campuses. We want to go to Africa, start a social enterprises, turning recycled poop into coffee right.
With two bags, Bonn always involved at Iphone case. You get it for free and the question is: why is it that this era of extraordinary elite generosity, which is real happens to coincide with an age of extraordinary elite hoarding the very same class of billionaires and plutocrats? Who do so much to give and constantly talk about how much they give have a monopoly on the future in this country? The one percent in this country takes forty nine percent of new income, half the new income imaginative. All the new income in this studio audience went to one person. Half imagine if another true statistic that point on percent point: one percent owns more wealth in the bottom. Eighty percent of people in this country rights, the bottom half the people this country on average, have not got no raise, as many of you may know in forty years right and so the question then becomes
what's the relationship between all this nice step elites do and this elite predation and the relationship that I discovered. Why reported this book? Was this nice? It's he's nice deeds, wrinkling of nice deeds that help us uphold the system in which rich people can monopolize the future hoard progress and kill the american Dream and not satisfied with that. They try to cover planet now to ok. But let's, let's go back on the so you're saying the people hold the money, but now everyone here try to keep the money that they may I mean I think that is like a logical thing, that human beings do you get the money? You keep the money. No one gets the money from like workin than is, like you get on, say shock. So when you're saying that they want the money, people, gonna, guess but unaddressed, the american dream, you work hard, and then you make your money. Why? Why is that a problem? Why do you think that that is a paradox with the
giving that they're doing. I think another similar way to say what you're saying, which I agree with, is that pollutes gonna pollute. I even have the sure. Ok we're going to pollute. Yes, we're gonna, they're, gonna fight for their interests. Ok, the plutocrats are going to do what's good for plutocrats. Your right. The thing is this not feudal England, so we actually have systems that are designed to keep them in check because you're right people are going to fight for their own insurance rights and when you have people who have set vast fortunes that they have the power as monopolies to decide which way are elections, go which is a power mark. Zuckerberg frankly has when you have someone who has the power to dictate whether workers have to pee in a bottle to be able to survive and make productivity their company. When you have people with so much power over consumers, you can't just say the hoarding impulse is gonna, be the wording and buzz you have to tax
properly taxes, taxes, taxes. You have to regulate the problem. You have to have a minimum wage that actually allows people who have no leverage again these billionaires to have the shared leverage that we all have, which is through a government negotiating or US people that I'm sick people denigrate the government of the last forty years we ve lived in this under an ideology that says government is bad. Wealth creation is good. The government is, the government is like a lawyer who represents all of us. Right and in which people are not all good or all bad. The way you or me or anybody else is vulgar all bad, but when rich people start to under make money by underpinning people systemically make money by frankly avoiding taxation in any way they can hiding money make money by.
People in securely. Do you hear a contractor you work at over? You don't really work at over. You do all of that. It's time for the advocate for all of us, the government and to actually find on our behalf. But now here's the thing. There are many billionaires right. You say the elite charade of changing the world, but there are many billionaires who have come out publicly and said: hey. We should be paying more taxes, billionaires we want to be taxed, hire you know, like Warren Buffett has come on many times. Saint guys my personal assistant pays a higher tax rate than I do, which is not fair. So if the billionaires are saying we should be paying more tax, then why would you say that it's a charade, or why do you say that, like they are part of the problem, that those billionaires are saying the right thing? And now what is interesting? Some of the people you mentioned If you double click on somewhat, they actually do in their life. What they do is they say we should pay higher income tax. They call there
and immediately when they're off the sea and b c air- and they say hey Bob. I just make sure I have only wealth accumulation this year, capital gains no income increase, because you can do that when you're rich, you can to shuffle things around. So you know if you look at Warren Buffett, others they say higher income taxes, but they have a lot of income, but because they, you know but then the investment like your share. I give you money in this text at a lower rate and I think what we dont realizing this countrymen. Now we're heading into the election seas and we're starting to have a bunch of candidates who, in various ways, would at least gesture to what I'm talking about right inequalities, bad, we gotta reveal the middle class, but part of. Why wrote the book and part of why I hope its relevant as we haven't election- is a lot of people who sound similar when they're talking about fixing. This problem are actually quite different and I think of the book as a set of infrared lenses to actually understand whose peddling real change and whose peddling fake change, because you look
people who say Kasza got rid of the middle class, but who also say, as Joe Biden did, you know nothing going to fundamentally change for the billionaires in this country. I just have to say that is an incoherent and I don't just mean rambling, incoherent, as is the binding way. But is an incoherent, intellectually incoherent theory, because investment, I'm not saying all moments, but in this moment the people up above are up above because they are stepping on people down below and the people down below our down, but because they are being stepped on, and you cannot say that I want to help the people down below in a way that will change nothing for the people standing on their next. The same way you couldn't address feudal England, you couldn't. The down Abbe world without dealing with. Why grant them. So the only people on that Damn castle. So big right, you couldn't deal with slavery without making things worse for the White plantation owners. You there's! No, you can't frankly, look at me to world. You can't make things better for women in this world. Without frankly, reducing the power of men
To do them impunity in so many the spaces you and I know that he has operated real change, involves a loss of power and at the heart of this book is the idea that there has been an ideology for the last forty years. That is the ideology of winwin. We can empower the least among us. We can help people in Africa. We can help people in Malaysia and no one has to suffer the rich people, don't have to pay any more taxes, they don't have to be regulated anymore and it is a lie. It is, lie the only change worth doing in a moment like this. With such an equity is it will necessarily make the plutocrats less powerful. The answer to a winner takes all world is almost logically a world in which the winners take less and, as you said, they're not gonna sign up for that. It's us acting together joining things getting involved getting involved.
Is it an take change back from the charade statement? That is a powerful how statements and I think, you're right, but I will keep my the reference thank you so much. I wanna take all a fascinating book that exposes the world we live in today. It's available now and then give us everybody. Daily shall determine our ears.
