65 Million Pounds Of Dead Meat

At first we thought it was just another fire here in Flameytown, but after burning for over a week the real horror has just begun. The massive inferno at a refrigerated warehouse in Los Angeles’ Boyle Heights is now extinguished… and all that remains is some sixty-five MILLION pounds of rotting meat, a small ocean of runoff water and temperatures climbing into the nineties.

Already the surrounding area stinks of death and things are likely to get much, much worse. Here’s a new edition of The Right Angle, with Bill Whittle leading the discussion, joined by Steve Green and Scott Ott.

Slaughterhouses Employing Kids

Lee Camp says the recent discovery of more than 100 children working with bone saws in piles of guts at various slaughterhouses around the country is a clear violation of child labor laws.

The children were employed in hazardous conditions by Packers Sanitation Services Inc., which drew a paltry $1.5 million fine from the U.S. Department of Labor. “It’s basically a parking ticket for corporate America,” Camp says. “This shows how much we’ve become a third-world country.” He elaborates, plus discusses the country’s banking drama and what he calls the seismic peace agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
