A highlight from Elon Musk's ESG Con (Feat. Eric Roesch)
"Welcome back everyone, I am Cas Pianci. I'm joined as usual by my partner in crime, Mr. Bennett Tomlin. How are you today? I'm doing pretty well. How are you Cas? I'm doing good. It's early morning here, but today we're joined by a really special guest, somebody who's going to be chatting us through some really fun kind of concepts of fraud, individuals involved that I'm surprised we haven't discussed before. Eric Roche. How are you today, sir? I'm all right. How are you guys? Hanging in there. As you said, when we first jumped on, there's a lot of fraud in the world and it is hard to find the time to constantly look into it, which is your job. I reached out to you because I've been reading some of your Elon Musk work, which has been incredibly informative. I'm honestly shocked that Bennett and I have never discussed, I guess we've never discussed in an episode, Elon Musk and our issues with him. I mean, I've made a bunch of videos and stuff about it. Yes. On your personal channel you have. You and I, who I think we almost equally don't like this guy, have somehow avoided this topic. But Eric, your work on SpaceX and some of the permitting, the issues around the chemicals and the sheer like, I don't give a shit about these regulations, been on the front lines of this. Can you talk about why you're so into this, why you're so fascinated by it? I actually want to start with a story from 1959. This is actually a piece I'm working on. We're going to go to the corporate headquarters of the Chisso Corporation in Myanmar, a province in Japan. In December of 1959, the CEO of the Chisso Corporation, which was a chemical company, had a big PR presentation. The company had just installed a new water purification system for their wastewater system, and he famously took a glass of water out of the bottom of this purification vessel and he drank it as a PR stunt. Just that moment in time is really interesting for me because it was preceded by multiple decades of the Chisso Corporation dumping organic methylmercury into the Bay of Myanmar. It's an organic liquid. It goes to the bottom. It bioaccumulates as it kind of goes up through the ecosystems. The bacteria will kind of incorporate the methylmercury. It stays in the cells and it'll go up to the muscles and then the fish. Cats started eating it and they started showing weird symptoms. Children started getting sick. The effects of this disease have gone on and it's still actually going on today. The reason that moment in time is so interesting is that people knew in advance that there were problems. It was very clear that this was the one kind of chemical dirty company in the area. And so it was easy for people to point at it. And what's really interesting about that PR event is that that was forced to be installed because finally government took action and this is in 1959, but they actually didn't stop discharging that chemical for about a decade afterwards. And what's fascinating about it is that treatment technique was basically to get out particulates didn't actually treat the methylmercury. The other reason I bring it up is that for the PR stunt and the fact that it was ineffective and then also the costs over this huge period of time were something that shareholders in the company would have wanted to know. That's something that we would have wanted to discuss. And so that's why my blog is kind of focused on these kind of ESG topics, which has become this really kind of crudely discussed topic. But really, it's about disclosure and how fraudulent things, fraudulent risks can kind of manifest in ways that people don't understand until after the fact. That's where I want to start off that discussion. That's an interesting story you told because I'm imagining this executive drinking this cup of water to prove it's clean. And I'm reminded of a more recent political event that kind of aped that same imagery. And I'm, of course, thinking of Barack Obama visiting Flint, Michigan, after they had completed the first wave of fixing some of the water issues. Yes. And they were holding this big press conference and he makes a big deal of getting this glass of water, he says is straight from the tap, and he drinks it up to prove it safe. Do you have any thoughts on that imagery, that parallel imagery between those two? Well, the reason I brought it up is is specifically because of that. Well, there's also an example where Halliburton executive and I believe Dick Cheney was at this event as well. They drank basically a diluted version of the fracking fluid out of out of champagne glasses and I will see it safe. And it's really fascinating because it's like, you know, look at like basically that was the first example of that. And we keep doing that. And Obama, I think he's kind of at the inflection point of why we are where we are. And he's a really great Segway into like Musk and how he's become kind of untouchable. How are you drinking the glass of water still? Right. Because even if even if it had a toxic amount, right, methyl mercury is dangerous because it accumulates slowly over time and then works its way up to the food chain. So you could drink glass that has a decent amount of methyl mercury in it. And like that water isn't going to do anything. You have to drink that same glass of water. You have to eat those shellfish or those oysters, you know, every day for years. And then it builds up, kind of manifests in this debilitating disease that the Obama example is exactly why I still bring that case up, because it's like, have we actually learned nothing? I actually have an even more recent example of exactly the same thing, which is crazy. But I don't know if you guys are familiar, there's a YouTuber named Kyle Hill who does science science YouTube stuff. And he was invited to Fukushima because, as you guys know, they're going to be releasing this this radioactive water that they've accumulated because they've if anyone is unfamiliar, they've had to kind of take seawater, pump it into this completely effed up clear reactor core and basically make sure that it doesn't explode again. And they're storing this water because they don't want to just pump it straight out into the ocean. Well, now they're going to be pumping it straight out into the ocean after they've tried to kind of dilute it down and ensure that it's not super full of radiation. But they're getting pushback from places like China and South Korea who are saying, hey, we're not going to eat your fish anymore. We're not going to eat your food anymore. Like this is unacceptable what you're doing. To be fair, I don't think this is on par with any of the things we've discussed so far. I'm bringing it up because Kyle Hill went to a Fukushima tour and they did exactly what you're talking about. They pulled out bottles of water and said, here, everyone, look at this radioactive water. It's not even radioactive. You guys are fine. Nothing's happening. You're you're not getting hit. Your Geiger counters aren't going crazy. Well, it turns out that they're using plastic bottles. So this is, I think, theta radiation. It doesn't go through thick plastic bottle anyway. Like nobody is drinking it. Nobody is doing like any of the proof isn't actually proof. This is actually part of what we're talking about in that this is just PR shit, whether it's Obama doing it, the Fukushima plant doing it, or in the 50s, Chisso Chisso. That's the other thing. All right. So the Fukushima water rights, you look at the data they've presented. I actually think it's probably not a problem because it's above background. That brings up the question, why do we distrust it? Right. And the Chisso Corporation is a perfect example. Well, you know, the government's lied about this before. It's the same thing that leaves a lot of vaccine skepticism we see about these things don't just come from nowhere. Right. So you see, you know, these these kinds of paranoia.

All right, we're talking with Patty Katter today, mill spouse, a wounded warrior advocate, and host of the Wake Up with Patty Katter podcast. Patty, always great to have a fellow podcaster on the show. Take us back, tell us a little bit about your background, where you're coming from. Hey Joe, thank you so much for having me. So originally, I was born in Flint, Michigan. A lot of people know about Flint because of their water crisis they had years ago. But rest assured, I didn't grow up in Flint. I was from a little town in mid -Michigan, and I met my husband, Ken, when he was just getting out of the Marine Corps. He was kind of, it was kind of fun because he was this muscular Marine, you know, and he ended up going to be a police officer. And we ended up getting married and having kids and had a beautiful home on 30 acres. And then 9 -11 happened, and he had the calling to go back into the military again. It was his choice. I definitely wanted to support him in any way possible because we had the type of relationship where we were very supportive of each other's dreams and aspirations. So sold we our home, and my husband joined the Army. I know some listeners might think, why did you go from the Marines to the Army? And for transparency's sake, his age. He was older than most people who would be going into the Army. He had, you know, been a police officer for about a decade after his service in the Marine Corps. And so he ended up joining the Army because he could go active duty and he wanted to go active versus reserves. So he went in fully aware that he would more than likely be deployed to combat. We already had two of our nephews who were in the Army and deployed to Iraq at that point. And so we knew it was definitely on the table. I felt like his training was good. He would be fine over there. We just kind of, you know, whoever is listening, if you're not a God believer, that's fine. Call it divine intervention, whatnot. We believed that God would protect him in one way or another or whatever would happen would be in God's control, not ours. So long story short, we were living on Fort Bragg after we sold our home. And we lived there for about a year and he decided to, we actually together, decided to buy a home off of Fort Bragg. Shortly after his call was to Iraq. So I guess it was about a year. There was a tiny part when he first joined that he was in Hurricane Katrina cleanup. I think he was gone maybe a month or so. I can't quite remember that honestly. So I'll pause here to see if you have any questions. Cause I know that was just a lot to digest. Yeah, no questions. Although, I did want to say there's a lot of Marines that go into the Army and Air Force and other services the second time around. Especially the Army and Air Force, cause they're a lot bigger. There's just more opportunity there. Especially if you like done your main stint as a young active duty Marine, you start running, depending on what your MOS is, it's a very up or out organization. And that's really common. There's a lot of people that were in services other and the other services love hiring them, love getting them on board too. You don't have to go back to boot camp or basic training. And usually they bring that Marine Corps attitude with them, which the other services most of the time love. So it's pretty common story. I know a bunch of Marines that went to other services afterwards. So he's probably in good company. Yeah, definitely. And he was definitely a good asset to the 82nd Recon. So he had all that training and he was pretty high speed and I didn't even understand how high speed he was until probably the last few years, because he never bragged about it. He still never brags about it. Recon, they run a tight ship and the Army was a little bit different of a transition, honestly, for him versus being in the Marines, it was really structured. And the Army, it was pretty structured, but not quite as regimented, I think, as the Marines. And that's just me interpreting. And so if you Army guys out there are upset about that, sorry. And of course, what a transition for you also, because you met him, first time you met him, he was on his way out of the Marine Corps. So you never really experienced being in the Marine Corps with him. And then now you're both are several years older. You're not some young 18, 19 year old new spouse going into the service with her husband. So what was that like for you, your transition into the Army? Yeah, for me, at first it was an adventure. I was excited about the move. I've always been one who enjoyed adventure and I was pretty independent anyways, in my thinking and in my career that I had, and I had done some journalism since I was in 10th grade. So I had my own things going on. And then having kids, I kept busy. So it wasn't a huge adjustment at the beginning, especially for him being a police officer. There were a lot of times that he would work third shift, he would come home in the mornings and then go to court during the day. So he was already sort of gone a lot. So when the training was going on in the Army, that part was not a big deal to me. Hurricane Katrina, that was just different, I guess, because it wasn't like he was out on a hunting trip, you know, it was like he was gone a little bit longer. And then gearing up towards Iraq, I really didn't think a lot into it either. Because honestly, I didn't watch the news a lot. I was busy with my kids. When we moved to Rayford, North Carolina, outside of Fort Bragg, my parents actually had bought a house there and we ended up living right next door to my parents. So I was busy with them and the kids would be back and forth with them. So that part was good and easy. Awesome. Yeah, the deployment was weird because I'll never forget the day he was supposed to deploy. First of all, you know, the hurry up and wait thing, that's a real thing. So we're waiting hours and we're thinking, you know, he's going to be taking off soon. What year was this? Do you remember? That was in 2006. So that's a good question. Yeah, August 2006. Okay. Things were fairly well oiled at that point, you know, like the cycles and everything like back in 03 and then going into 04, we were turning things on, turning things off I've heard so many horror stories about units were supposed to be leaving and then weeks later, they were still there, still waiting to leave, you know, and then eventually they left. Yeah. And, um, yeah, honestly, I kind of thought that was going to happen with him because the first night they were like, Oh, sorry, just joking. No. Um, so he ended up deploying the next day. So he was able to come home that first night and then it was the next day he left. So my dad took him. Um, it was easier for him to take my husband, I think to war because, you know, it was a little bit stressful that morning. I remember it was a little tense at home. The kids, um, were small. So at that point there was a six year old, a nine year old and a 12, nine and a 12 year old. Yeah. So six, nine and 12, um, the 12 year old, she understood it. The nine year old understood it, but not as clearly as the 12 year old. And then the six year old, she did not understand it really. And they were all really close with Ken. Um, he was always really great with the kids. Um, very, very active participant in their lives. And so it was difficult on them. Um, the first, the, when he actually really left that, that first day, one of the neighborhood kids down the road said, Oh man, your dad's going to war. He's going to die cause soldiers get killed in war. It never crossed my kid's mind until that very first day of a 15 month deployment. So that was, that was a tough one for the kids.

"This kind of lead leakage. Problem is happening in other cities. This is happening all over the country. I mean this. I think the epa estimates that there's ten million of these lead pipes across the country. You know lead is very malleable and it was really cheap material. Everybody wanted to use it back in the day and this is something that we just haven't as a country really invested money in. I think with what happened in flint michigan their water crisis and then shortly thereafter followed by newark's water crisis sort of has put this renewed attention on on disc problem in particular. Because it's not something you see right. We take water for granted. We can't see these old lead pipes underground but the good thing. Moving forward is with with newark. Having done this project flint is almost unto after five years of replacing their pipes. You see other cities start to try and do this and start to to try and put this as a priority and even president biden his infrastructure. Bill we'll see how it works. Its way through congress and how much money is actually set aside. I think at this point it's fifteen billion which is not what it will require to replace every single. Let let service line. But it's something right like any money to help. This problem goes a long way so does newark. Now stand as a model both for the speed and efficiency of getting it done And for the way that it was financed will other cities be kind of looking who this newark. Model onto this bonding model as a way to replace his crumbling infrastructure which you indicate is really everywhere i think so i mean even newark's harshest critics. I mentioned the natural resources. Defense council that sued the city. You know they're now touting newark As as a model city..

"Lead exposure. There's no safe level for kids or adults but in children the effects can be disastrous. According to the cdc lead can cause damage to the brain and nervous system delayed speech development emotional challenges and underperformance in schools worldwide. Nearly one in three children have dangerous. Blood lead levels. Which is what makes this next story. Truly a bit of good news. Two years ago lead pipes in newark new jersey. Meant the city faced a water crisis on par with what happened in flint michigan. But today nearly all of the city's twenty two thousand lead pipes have been replaced with copper pipes. No initially the project was expected to take ten years to complete. But thanks to an aggressive city county partnership. It was completed in record time for more on this. I spoke with karen ye a reporter covering new jersey for wnyc and karen started by telling me a bit about the impetus for newark's pipe replacement project. A few years ago newark was in the news initially for having elevated lead levels in its schools And then a year later it turns out there was elevated levels in people's homes in the water coming out at the top and that sort of escalated when a group called the natural resources defense council threatened to sue and then sued the city over. It's over just it's high levels in the water. And the fact that the city they felt the city wasn't doing enough to fix the problem so fast forward to twenty nineteen summers. We nineteen the federal government steps in and they actually mandate that the city distribute bottled water to thousands of residents. And so this was a huge deal. I mean newark was in the national press time and time again and so around this time is when the city was rolling out. Its program to replace these. These lead pipes right. These are lead service lines that sort of snake underneath your home and pump water from the underground water main to individual homes and apartments so they were replacing this but we're moving pretty slowly and that's when the county where they're in stepped up and said hey we want to expedite this. We're going to bond for you. Here's one hundred twenty million dollars in bonded money and that that really set the ball rolling. I mean they've been able to now replace almost every single that service line in less than three years and initially at their pace that we're going to do this in ten years cities have crumbling infrastructure of all kinds. What in the world prompted the state to say. This one was Was worth doing that bond for so. I think it was a mixture of the public attention in the public pressure to do something Given the rising lead levels..

Thank you so much which agasi us and last week we talked about what can happen with the hormone disruptors. In how important to pay attention to what you put on your skin and i was looking through some some of my old notes in look at Was looking at notre about flint michigan and that laid the debacle. They had with the water in the Led to the municipal water supply. And then just this. This week i see article says the silent toxin destroying kidneys as we get older. We have to think about this stuff. But of course i don't i don't -magine a lot because a lot of people just turn turn your out. We say you know you could have kidney problems. That's not me right. I got news for here. it could be you. Nearly every senior has at least some decline in kidney function and about half of off. Folks passed the age of seventy five full-blown kidney disease. So if you wanna turn me out that's fine to me out termi out but it could be affected you because you know you probably don't even notice it because the in the early stages they're not even diagnosed remain unna diagnose a of time. Your doc won't even pick it up until pretty much advanced. So millions of americans. It seems are living in blissful ignorance of this problem at one of the causes of it is right in plain sight. Guess what it is. Party part is in your drinking water. Drinking water is a six issue right now because good quality is red really really tough to get and you know you read headlines. A lead in water is quote within safe limits unquote. Guess what there is no safe limit for lead me. Whenever is reasonable think that a toxic product has a safe level. It shouldn't be in there in the first place. Government standards ladies and gentlemen nonsensical and are dangerous for work for people who had declining kidney function and as the elderly. So there's an allowable level or i'm not even gonna go there and it is point zero one five milligram per leader. If guys above that your local authorities are supposed to take action really think they just rush out the fix. That problem look at flint michigan but a new study of patients on dialysis fis that levels a third lower than that safe limit can lead to declining function and they base that on hemoglobin concentrations of lead. So you know you gotta believe is is not doing any of us any favors either. Those of us and those of you. I am over seventy five of those of you. That are under seventy five now. Maybe we should all be contacting our local water supply company. Find out what are lead is see if they get the water tested independently or just assume. That's a whole lot of that stuff in there. Because i bet you it already is an is certainly is and you know. Us drinking water. contains other unwanted contaminants beside lead like other metals. Antibiotics fuel residues hormones and more and then the stuff they actually put there on purpose fluoride. We've talked about that. How it lowers. Iq levels chlorine no. Thank you water company. So now another reason to think about filtering your water using reverse is moses. Jad to be careful right. There's always a compromise is always something else you have to watch out for that. You can strip out of minerals that you need in your water. Water is not as clean as you think lot of them. have this forever chemicals. We talked about last week the fluorinated compounds like teflon problems which lead to a whole host of other problems so filter your water if you can't look for a sprint. Look for springboard that is bottled in glass. Artesian water also known as mineral water. That might be a help. That might be a help so it. Metals are part of a group of metals Heavy metals okay not also includes arsenic cadmium have to just how do you look after all this stuff because heavy metals are just not safe they can ruin our might cadre so we have to detach them right.

"Home from the local bank. The previous owners were african american. I learned not long after they moved into the township. The house was attacked and firebombed he and his family were the first black standard great flint. Township and honors rid subdivision. Welcome to the suburbs of an american city. Also during my years as genesee county prosecutor that is from nine hundred ninety three to two thousand and five the office prosecuted numerous individuals for ethnic intimidation assault and malicious destruction of private property arising out of offenses motivated racial hatred. our focus and target was gangs of oz variety including motorcycle gangs street gangs and even groups claiming to be the michigan klu klux klan by over the years the klu klux klan and white nationalist michigan militia have indeed been active in the flint area. I found myself repeating. Lee served legal papers from the michigan militia. You know those are the same guys that showed up at the. The michigan capital recently armed to protest governor. Whitmer locked down to the state. There are also the same type of group the michigan militia. And its off shoots on me. It was goofy stuff and seemed to me like a delusion gone wild. The complainants were supposedly from courts. The complaints were supposedly some that they created out of their own court system. These militia folks love to gather local sheriff's whenever they could find one crazy enough to lend them an ear. I remember the lapierre county. Sheriff in the county adjacent to genesee county would meet with the militia. Nothing came of it stars. They know however reading about michigan sheriff's today who lend a hand to groups like the proud boys. A right wing. Violent extremist group is struck. Me that these hate groups loved operate in rural areas of michigan where the hate is strong toward anyone who is not white and protestant like them. The office of sheriff seems to attract populace in michigan. Unless the sheriff from a town with a racially diverse or college educated voter base. You can rest assured that sheriff is vulnerable to the whims of populism and many to the racist militia groups that have brought so much disgrace to the state of michigan. I know for a fact that i wasn't the only law enforcement officer wary of the militias. They have guns and they were crazy folks. They have the potential to get to drink in too much busch beer and go on a rampage motorcycle gangs which also many how nativist beliefs racist beliefs simply became more and more interested in selling drugs and raising.

"These hate groups. It's like morris code. You know the kind of tapping like you saw in the old movies. We had people in the community who spent time decoding this graffiti grapevine to be successful it was important to spend time listening and learning what this scribble on buildings was communicating. It was through working with community members. That i was able to understand that this is part of the national culture. It is scary to those who have no idea what it means. It is even more scary once you learn exactly what. It proclaims often. It's a threat of murder. In many cases monitoring graffiti results in tips for plans for violence gangs struggles for territory. Tattoos can be part of the uniform of a gang banger. Or a white nationalist or even an extremist in some cases they tell the story of their lives ink stories on the arm open for anyone to see our symbols of gang activity and even deaths they wear these symbols for life and with pride michigan department of corrections takes these tattoos so seriously that they have an intelligent unit at michigan prisons to monitor these hate groups and records tattoos to determine any gang or group affiliations in the nineteen nineties. There are various groups during my tenure as genesee county prosecuting. Attorney that i monitored by using experts and informants who could interpret graffiti one such group was the satanic nazi warriors. This group had vandalized the old winchester hospital located in flint township. The warriors left behind a diary of graffiti on the walls. Depicting the killings of black men and women nam nam mikan at this gathering spot also was observed young men and military style uniforms. Eventually the police got interested in the photos and other documentation of my informants. The photos of course were of the graffiti turns out that some of the graffiti announced in advance all over town on bridges and buildings. The impending bust of another white nationalist group. The iron cross operating in clio michigan which is just a suburb the city of flint in my experience in criminal law of over forty years the federal government takes its best aim at these domestic terror organizations using federal firearms statutes although the feds have domestic terrorism laws racketeering statutes and other tools which many local prosecutors don't have the resources to use or have.

"More extreme if that can be imagined. Interestingly the black legion according to historians and author. Tom stanton had direct links to the auto. Pioneer henry ford's thuggish goon henry barrett barrett was the security chief for henry ford. He earned his fame and reputation brutally tacking union activists and unit supporters for trying to organize the ford motor company. Henry ford had a plethora of well-documented racist beliefs and he often acted on them. The black legion is a group. historians have largely overlooked. It was a depression era. Hate group founded in ohio in the early nineteen hundreds. The black legion splintered off from the ku klux klan. Only to find a place to thrive in michigan it was violent and ruthless. It also was a group. That had a documented history of killing black people jews and other minorities the black legion found comfort as a union busting gang. It punish labor union organizers and sympathizers they were after all operating as a secret society exactly like the klu klux klan think the klu klux klan without guardrails the klu klux klan did not miraculously disappear after world war two in its modern history. There's much activity to note. Nine thousand nine hundred sixty seven. The detroit news published photos of a flint ku klux klan parade in downtown flint. It is shocking today to reflect back on that time. They convinced a local judge to serve as the photographer. The local police were notified of this meeting. And we're down the block as the flint. Police in the fbi watched media reports of this unusual gathering they became interested as well. The flint police the fbi as well as the genesee county prosecutor's office. Which i headed sized up this group. The police ran the ku klux klan leaders history and discovered that he was a convicted felon. A search warrant was issued and the police paid a visit with a tactical read team. They found numerous guns ammunition. They also found the clans flag that was used for their photo. Op the police captured. Not only the guns. But also the flag of the klux klan to be used as evidence later a search warrant was prepared and approved and a visit was made by the police and the raid team. Acquired in. the search of the house were several handguns. Long guns was an important psychological weapon. Felons are not supposed to have or possess firearms case. You are wondering. In some cases. The federal penalties are very harsh and in federal court. A defendant can get up to ten years. Mandatory prison sentence often. The local law enforcement would send cases to the federal government of those who are repeat criminals with a history of engaging in violent violent gang activities we refer disparate case the fbi and the us attorney who then prosecuted the case in sent them to prison. Most of this story was never fully told the public. It still makes me smile to this day. Flint michigan was a target rich environment for gang enforcement efforts. All this prompted by interest in tattoos in graffiti. This is where you can observe the special.

"Michael thanks so much for joining me again man. Yeah it's great to be back again twice in a little over a month of pretty honored at this point. Michael rothstein covers boxing for espn and is behind the scenes. Look at clarisa. Shield is journey to. This moment is out now on. Espn dot com. Well michael we are honored to have you back on the show as well because you have this piece. You just reported on clarisa shields. Who is the biggest star in women's boxing. Maybe ever and her event coming up tomorrow night. it's being called superwomen. Some are also calling it. Her story play on history. But i need you to explain to me. What exactly it is that makes all of this so historic well. It's a couple of things. Pablo i is. This clarisa shields is the headliner on a pay per view card and there hasn't been a women's fight. Headlining a paper view card. In twenty years. We're talking last time it happened. Was layla alley and jackie. Frazier light and I don't think anyone listening to this. Podcast probably would remember watching that fight because it's been that long but they went one step further and not only. Is it her headlining. This is a car completely full of women's fights there's four fights on the card and this is going to be friday in her hometown of flint michigan in front of a little under. Maybe two hundred fans because that's what michigan is allowing at this point in this audience is going to have to come through paper view and this is again for classes. Shields and for promoter mostly because this hasn't been done before so there's no metrics on this there is no read on buys would be good or bad all of this is her taking a big bet on herself and who should be fighting. She's fighting marie eve to care who is also undefeated and they feel like. It's going to be one of the best fight in women's boxing this year and probably the best fight. They could have made for clarisa shields. And that's one of the challenges. Foreclosure shields right is. She is so good that it's tough to find opponents that are worthy of are very similar in some ways to. What can alvarez going through on the men's side if you watch that fight on saturday night because they are most just dominant so there are a lot of ingredients their them going to bite into but first off. When was the last time we even saw clarisa shields in the ring so the last time we saw her was january twenty twenty and that was against ivana hobbies in and she won a unanimous decision. Not twin make story the fastest fighter men or female to win titles in three divisions and choruses shields is plan was to fight for times last year. This fight against murray you care was initially scheduled for may ninth covid and did that so then almost immediately once boxing started to maybe possibly come back her and her team wanted to be one of the first fighters back. They went to their partner at the time showtime and they said hey we would like to be on an early card but it just never happened. She had dates in september. She had dates in october. Then she was told. Hey you're not gonna fight on showtime at all in two thousand and twenty.

Welcome to green captions radio glorious. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for letting me join you. Joe. oh no problem. It's my pleasure my pleasure so let's start with. What condition is our water supply and today as president biden starts his first term as president. What is the water supply. He is inheriting well. I think we would all agree over these last four years the previous president did pretty much anything that he could to eviscerate our clean out air clean water regulations so it is very exciting last night to to witness our new president president. But i didn't as he signed the papers to rejoin the paris climate agreement and to roll back some of the deregulations that the former president clearly. There's a lot of work to be done but that once. We have obviously a leader in place president in place who believes in science and who listens to scientists and who believes in climate change and listens to the scientists gusta climate change and who obviously is a great advocate for the wellbeing of all americans of all peoples that is definitely a hopeful sign the destruction that happened in the last four years previous to President by being sworn in cannot be changed overnight but Reliance as very proud very excited to be on the front lines of this. Very important fight to have drinkable swimming. Fissionable waters for americans and for people around the globe. As you said. I mean it's extraordinary when you can get two point. Five million miles of waterways being protected from from our local over three hundred and fifty plus waterkeeper groups around globe. That's a huge thing. It's a lot of miles. So i'm really excited to join forces again rejoined forces again with this extra organization and in a leadership role so is the did the rollbacks that the trump administration did did they actually result in more water pollution. I mean we obviously have the flint michigan situation but that was not trump. That was the governor in michigan. Right when you talk about pollution in the waterways that goes very much to industries like fossil fuel industries of course like factory farming like businesses corporations. That are allowed to just kind of dump their way store there By rhonette of of making things of manufacturing into the waterways when there's no regulation The clearly people can just do what they want at their own. Well not have to pay any consequences you know it all comes down to first thing which is reenacting these laws again. Going back in place and then enforce laws are terrific things to have. But if they're not enforced than what's also it's important to remember that one of the things that president biden as well last night was to cancel the keystone pipeline. Which has as many of us know has been an ongoing issue for years now. And if i think about it the former president were elected. That very well may have happened. Now i've been to alberto into the athabasca river. I've seen the destruction that's happened with trying to suck out oil from sand. It's not an easy process. Takes more gallons of water from the athabasca river to make one barrel of oil and that is destruction destroy not just obviously the environment but the first nations people that have lived on that land for generations. So it's a it's a trickle down effect if you will of Polluters of Whether they be industries or or again corporations or even individuals whether or not brought to justice when when when there's no law to protect people that lived in that area then it's a free fall and You know. I was a newly appointed just over two months ago so the lot to catch up on. It's a lot of information that i'm soaking up. And we can't wait to be able to fly again safely obviously in good all corners of the world to to meet in person a lavar extraordinary water keepers are clean water warriors. I want i'm sure i'm sure. So does the waterkeeper alliance have a checklist of things that they want. The biden administration. To do i mean are there. Water infrastructure investments Besides putting back in place the clean water act. i mean. We hope that's happening soon. But maybe you're disappointed. It didn't happen right away. What kinds of investments and specifics are you looking for from president biden. Yes well. I think you know as you mentioned. Clean water act course. Everything can happen in one night. So we're confident that that will be reassigned. Only shocks right. I know but go back to the industry. Portion coal ash coal pollution cola. Hashes is definitely something that needs to be addressed in taken care of again. The factory farming issue is a huge thing. Learn in this country. North carolina again. I've been to north carolina. I've seen those ways. They call the ponds or lagoons. They tried to make these names. Sound like it's a recreational place yet now. These are ponds at are made of animal. Waste that seat into the waterway. So that's definitely something that needs to be handled in terrific water keepers in that region. An area that are that are winning lawsuits against not of these factory farms. I think that You know the overall climate issues that Is a abroad umbrella. You'll and plastics. We we all know again. You know plastics Issue jim global issue for sure so clean water act coal cocoa factory farming. These i think are are three very big tangible things that that can be addressed. Well we can he can pass. He can propose legislation that punishes. And as you say enforcement is critical these industrial polluters. It's you know taking a page out of the erin brockovich book relay right but these things also and i totally support on plastic pollution.

Water Justice - Actress Gloria Reuben, Waterkeepers Alliance
"I'd like you to meet gloria reuben. Who was a trustee of the waterkeeper alliance from two thousand seven to two thousand ten and served as an advisor to former vice president. Al gore's environmental organization called the climate reality project and on other natural resources groups as well you will also likely recognize her from her appearances in television series like er and marvel's tv cloak and dagger among others as well as in movies like lincoln and a reasonable doubt. Welcome to green captions radio glorious. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for letting me join you. Joe. oh no problem. It's my pleasure my pleasure so let's start with. What condition is our water supply and today as president biden starts his first term as president. What is the water supply. He is inheriting well. I think we would all agree over these last four years the previous president did pretty much anything that he could to eviscerate our clean out air clean water regulations so it is very exciting last night to to witness our new president president. But i didn't as he signed the papers to rejoin the paris climate agreement and to roll back some of the deregulations that the former president clearly. There's a lot of work to be done but that once. We have obviously a leader in place president in place who believes in science and who listens to scientists and who believes in climate change and listens to the scientists gusta climate change and who obviously is a great advocate for the wellbeing of all americans of all peoples that is definitely a hopeful sign the destruction that happened in the last four years previous to President by being sworn in cannot be changed overnight but Reliance as very proud very excited to be on the front lines of this. Very important fight to have drinkable swimming. Fissionable waters for americans and for people around the globe. As you said. I mean it's extraordinary when you can get two point. Five million miles of waterways being protected from from our local over three hundred and fifty plus waterkeeper groups around globe. That's a huge thing. It's a lot of miles. So i'm really excited to join forces again rejoined forces again with this extra organization and in a leadership role so is the did the rollbacks that the trump administration did did they actually result in more water pollution. I mean we obviously have the flint michigan situation but that was not trump. That was the governor in michigan. Right when you talk about pollution in the waterways that goes very much to industries like fossil fuel industries of course like factory farming like businesses corporations. That are allowed to just kind of dump their way store there By rhonette of of making things of manufacturing into the waterways when there's no regulation The clearly people can just do what they want at their own. Well not have to pay any consequences you know it all comes down to first thing which is reenacting these laws again. Going back in place and then enforce laws are terrific things to have. But if they're not enforced than what's also it's important to remember that one of the things that president biden as well last night was to cancel the keystone pipeline. Which has as many of us know has been an ongoing issue for years now. And if i think about it the former president were elected. That very well may have happened. Now i've been to alberto into the athabasca river. I've seen the destruction that's happened with trying to suck out oil from sand. It's not an easy process. Takes more gallons of water from the athabasca river to make one barrel of oil and that is destruction destroy not just obviously the environment but the first nations people that have lived on that land for generations. So it's a it's a trickle down effect if you will of Polluters of Whether they be industries or or again corporations or even individuals whether or not brought to justice when when when there's no law to protect people that lived in that area then it's a free fall and You know. I was a newly appointed just over two months ago so the lot to catch up on. It's a lot of information that i'm soaking up. And we can't wait to be able to fly again safely obviously in good all corners of the world to to meet in person a lavar extraordinary water keepers are clean water warriors. I want i'm sure i'm sure. So does the waterkeeper alliance have a checklist of things that they want. The biden administration. To do i mean are there. Water infrastructure investments Besides putting back in place the clean water act. i mean. We hope that's happening soon. But maybe you're disappointed. It didn't happen right away. What kinds of investments and specifics are you looking for from president biden. Yes well. I think you know as you mentioned. Clean water act course. Everything can happen in one night. So we're confident that that will be reassigned. Only shocks right. I know but go back to the industry. Portion coal ash coal pollution cola. Hashes is definitely something that needs to be addressed in taken care of again. The factory farming issue is a huge thing. Learn in this country. North carolina again. I've been to north carolina. I've seen those ways. They call the ponds or lagoons. They tried to make these names. Sound like it's a recreational place yet now. These are ponds at are made of animal. Waste that seat into the waterway. So that's definitely something that needs to be handled in terrific water keepers in that region. An area that are that are winning lawsuits against not of these factory farms. I think that You know the overall climate issues that Is a abroad umbrella. You'll and plastics. We we all know again. You know plastics Issue jim global issue for sure so clean water act coal cocoa factory farming. These i think are are three very big tangible things that that can be addressed. Well we can he can pass. He can propose legislation that punishes. And as you say enforcement is critical these industrial polluters. It's you know taking a page out of the erin brockovich book relay right but these things also and i totally support on plastic pollution. To get me started on that one will be here for hours but a lot of these things require congressional approval and even though the democrats biden's party control both the house and the senate it's by d. Tiny itsy-bitsy margin right. So how do you. And i know that president by misspeaking bipartisanship since the very first days of his campaign and did so in his inaugural address etcetera but washington is still gridlock. So what's your outlook for whether for example getting factory farming in any kind of legislation. You know control of it. Is that realistic. Yes i think so for. Sure i mean again.

"I'm Tanya, mostly in Los Angeles, and I'm Rachel Martin in Washington, D C two counts of willful neglect of duty those of the charges against former Michigan governor Rick Snyder and former Flint, Michigan Public Works director Howard Croft. For their role in the Flint water crisis. The misdemeanor charges carry a punishment of up to $1000 and up to one year in jail. They come almost seven years after the city of Flint began taking in water from the Flint River in an attempt to save money. The water wasn't properly treated. It corroded the city's aging pipes, causing lead to leach. Into the drinking water more than 100,000 Flint residents were exposed unsafe levels of lead. Latricia Adams does community activism in Flint, and this was her reaction to the charges against Snyder and Croft. It doesn't feel good. Adam's heads black millennials for Flint, which advocates the rights of Flint residents still dealing with the effects of the water crisis. Accountability is great, but even with accountability, even if Rick Snyder was behind bars for a significant amount of time That still doesn't compensate for the generations of irreversible damage. That is and will continue to happen. But Flint residents Years ago, Sometime after the city of Flint switched to Flint River water pediatrician Mona Hanna, a Tisha started seeing something troubling. She treated a lot of Children in Flint in her patients were showing twice the normal amount of lead in their blood since the change in the water supply. She called a press conference in September of 2015 and warned residents, especially kids to stop drinking the water. More than five years later, Dr Mona Hanna Attisha is now the director of Flint's pediatric public health initiative. And she joins us this morning. Thanks for being here. Rachel. It's great to be with you. Can I ask you to take us back to that moment when you started to realize something was wrong? What was going through your mind? Uh um, I remember the exact moment it was thesis, A of 2015. I was actually with a high school girlfriend, who of all things had become a drinking water expert, and she told me in my house at a Last minute barbecue that Mona the water isn't being treated properly in Flint. And because of that, there's probably lead in the water, and that's the moment that my life changed. When I heard the word lead. It was ah. Call to action. I respect the science of what led? Does I understand that the potent irreversible neurotoxin and and I also understand that lets a form of environmental racism it's The last thing our kids in Flint needed. That's the moment I stopped sleeping. I stopped meeting I lost about £30 and I began this quest to find out if if that lead was getting into the bodies of our Children, which it was, I mean, so now here we are. Seven years later, it's hard to believe these charges now against the former governor. And another top official. What? What do you make of it? Um, it's a bit of disbelief. It's been so long on Dfars. So many people in Flint, this justice delayed really felt like justice. Deny that there was never gonna be this level of accountability. Um, And as a physician in Flint, I never used to really kind of respond to these questions of accountability and justice. There was these criminal cases and civil cases. And as they began, Tonto, practice more and Flint and interact with the families and Flint, I began to understand how critical and foundational the concept of Of accountability and justice really is to health and healing, because without that to happen, it Z almost like a wound that never closes and it stays open and open open and it's been open for about seven years on Dad. Having some level of justice is like a solve. It helps those wounds finally close and it helps the city and the people. Move on and recover you. You've written a book and in it, you talk about the villains in this crisis as being more than a single person, Maurer than one individual. Can you explain how you see that? Absolutely. S o, You know, so many people ask me like, who do you want in jail or who should go to jail? And there's there's not one villa And there's not 10 villains. There's there's many villains on Dis is what I say in my book. I say There are lots of villains in this story. A disaster of this scale does not happen completely by accident. Many people stopped caring about Flint influence kids, many people looked the other way people in power made tragic and terrible choices. And collectively and ineptly tried to cover up their mistakes. While charges have been brought against some of the individuals who are culpable, the real villains are harder to see. Because the real villains live underneath the behavior and drive it. The real villains are the ongoing effects of racism in the quality. Read anti intellectualism and even laws. A fair Neil liberal capitalism and these are the villains that we don't usually notice and don't want to. And these are the villains that poison Flint with policy, And I hope one day we can Go after these systemic villains and and bring forth Judge Justice. What is what could that possibly look like now? I mean, even as you nod to the positive of fact of these charges, where do you begin that larger level of healing and reconciliation to try to address some of those huge issues? Yeah, And that has been my work since since day one from the moment of recognizing kind of this widespread lead contamination, this population level trauma and this broken trust. Our work has been in a very holistic way to mitigate the impact of the crisis and bring forth healing and recovery. You can think of what happened in Flint as as a case of signs, denial and our science help bring speak truth to power, and we're leaning on that incredible science of child development and.
