as the prison st detainees are still being violated after over 2 decades of custody, the us government is intimately aware of the depth and severity of many detainees, current physical and psychological harms. you have to guantanamo bay detention infrastructure remains constituted by among other constituent elements near constant surveillance force. so extractions and do use of restraints and other arbitrary and problematic implementation of the standard operating procedures stemming from inadequate training. the u. s. government has failed to provide any torture rehabilitation to detain these despite having previously authorized and enabled torture practices and serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law. despite the admitting aspects of the prison dock post, the us continues to push back against current allegations. we are committed to providing safe and humane treatment for detainees at guantanamo in full accordance

with international and u. s. domestic law. detainees, live community, and prepare meals together, receive specialized medical and psychiatric care, or given full access to legal counsel and communicate regularly with family members . many of the still held the bit low have never been charged with a crime. in fact, of the almost $800.00 men and boys held that over the use of neat hum, full of effort being convicted, that includes 5 completed guilty in pre trial agreements in return for the possibility of being released from the base agreements. human rights group. i'm the state international says didn't meet fact trial standards trials for those who have been accused of fall off. one of the camps longest serving prosecutors has resigned

this year. so i think the pressure of repeated trips to the prison. it's hard to feel much sympathy with him when those detained to may have given forced confessions. a key issue is whether the accused voluntarily confessed at guantanamo after years in which they were deprived of sleep, kept in solitary confinement and interrogated with violence, including water boarding, labeled as the blue line of all times. one kind of most stands as a blight on the will, conscious on the stalk of mine, that regardless of what it tries to project, the us operates as a new and to itself. and that's all from me for now. head to a website, archie dot com for more news and analysis. i'm addition. why josh? my colleague, jenna neal, is at the top of the aisle with the latest updates. stay with us.

oh, the the the. hi everybody. i'm rick sanchez. i've been doing news for 30 years and 2 languages all over the world. here in the us, i've interviewed for you as president's working for the u. s. has major television networks. i don't like what they do. see, i think news should be honest and direct and impactful. this direct impact the

the, well, disney company recently reported it lost 900000000 dollars in movies that, well just didn't do so well because people decided they didn't want to go see them . that's almost a $1000000000.00. now just how many bucks office flops of disney incurred? well, let's look at the numbers. where we learned that the last 8 big movies that disney released. then not doing well, not at all guardians of the galaxy and the little mermaid and. and if you think those are bad, strange world, white you even worse the summer calling them complete failures in the industry. so what kids? right. i mean, those, those sound like solid titles, solid beams, which in the past would have been great for disney. right. so what's different? but the differences, the characters have been changed, right?

they've been modified, not just modernize, know they've been given progressive makeovers. and that is making many americans think that disney has just gone too far and that they no longer represent them. for example, on cora, one of america's most popular question and answer platforms, this question pops up. why do we see so many gay and lesbian characters and almost all of us movies or tv series? most of the comments sounded like this. quote, this honestly drives me insane. i will start by saying that i have nothing against homosexuals or transgender is or whatever else there are out there these days. but it's getting out of control, stop quote. and there's this comment. i agree. the gay agenda is being thrown in our faces. whether we want it or not, look, as far as we're concerned, whether there's a gay agenda at disney and it exists or doesn't exist is it's not for us, but they got i'd rather just look at the numbers,

the research. and here's what it sets a according to gallop, roughly 7 percent of americans identify as gay, lesbian, or transsexual, 7 percent. that means it would be perfectly normal and expected to see occasionally or 7 percent of the time or more characters on tv and movies, who are gay or lesbian, or trans actual right? perfectly normal. but what many americans say they see, and what studies seem to show is that it's not occasional far from it. it's more like i'm the present or everywhere. in fact, well only 7 percent of americans may identify as l g. b, in movies, they're more like at a minimum 20 percent. don't take my word for it. this is a study that's done by glad this is a non profit organization that advocates for l g b t. according to their report. one 5th of all the movies that are made in hollywood have at least one l. g b, 2 character. that means according to hollywood,

25 percent of america is gay, lesbian or transsexual. now is that reality not even close, right. i mean, holly and. busy as for train on america, that is it like the real america yet, according the glad hollywood is it doing enough? they want to make sure that america is more representative of gay, lesbian and transsexuals. well, that's what they advocate to be fair. according to glad hollywood still has, quote, a long way to go to get it right. what they argue is that we should be seeing more good characters. and so far, companies like lions gate and paramount pictures, and so many pictures on united artists and universal pictures. walt disney studios warner brothers seem to agree because they are in fact casting more eligibility characters. but apparently not enough, according to glass of studies do show that growing number of americans among those

americans who support l g b t writes, they actually support l g b p rides. but there's sometimes i'm comfortable sitting down to watch television with their families and seeing on america that doesn't resemble the america that they have come to know for them is not a question of accepting l g b take. it's about watching tv shows, commercials, and movies that tell them every family must have a uncle or a lesbian aunt or an eligibility son or a daughter, or a grandparents, even though real demographics don't bear that out. but that's not the only issue where hollywood is kind of losing america. the fact of the matter is mirrors who taken tv and movies in america. kind of get a distorted sense of who we really are. men, for example, man, are generally emasculated in the media. these days and had been for about a decade or so, the leading man used to be a dude who was strong and not afraid to show his virility and his aggressiveness. sometimes maybe too much. sure. but that's now being been replaced by

a softer version of man. it's worse that are off. it actually presented as a stupid, clumsy not capable. whether you're watching a commercial or a movie or a tv show, that's what you're going to see. a always have to be corrected by somebody else, especially women. because women, on the other hand, are now the super heroes. they are the top cots, with all the right, karate shots, while man has to be saved by them. women are also generally smarter and more capable than men in hollywood, according to movies, and according to commercials, or how they're portrayed. now, i'm trying to get me wrong. men still make more money than women in hollywood. and that's not right. but when it comes to image stuff, even close a match. so it's on social psychologist and sociologists is having kind of a, an adverse effect on boys who are growing up in america who are just kind of

confused. like, what's my role supposed to be? fact is the world, the hollywood creates is simply nothing like the world that we live in latin americans, for example, hispanic americans. they make up almost 20 percent of the population of the united states. that means or one 5th of the population right? yet when you watch tv and movies, according to studies, they barely even are visible. even though they're 20 percent of the population, they make up only 3 percent of, of the characters that you see on, on tv, and movies. and how are they presented in those movies? criminals cleaning ladies, drug dealers. african americans, for example, have it much better these days after all those years and being treated horribly by hollywood. now, even though they only make up 13 percent of the population, they same on the present in movies. good. see and tv commercials and,

and tv shows by most accounts assumed by many casualty viewers, african american seem to represent anywhere between 25 to 50 percent of the population, even though demographically, that's nowhere near correct. and by the way, more often than not, they are presented positively by hollywood gas. those professionals, doctors, and business people and lawyers, white southerners, for example, our cast has poured adults on educated bigots. the question is whether one group is better than the other. obviously, the reality of america is the ex, sealed with wonderful stories of great achievers or black, who are african american, former slaves also, asians, and white, and hispanic. and every few in between. the question is does hollywood skew demographic reality? and in so doing is it losing america's trust in general?

most conservatives, of course, so yes, but they're not alone when it comes to not trusting hollywood. many americans, including liberals, discovered a long time ago that hollywood is not the place you want to go to better understand the world of the country that we live in. in fact, hollywood, is that a history of lying to us flat out lying to us no place? is it more audacious, more malignant then it's relationship with the military. did you know that the defense department has a special office of a special department within the department that works with hollywood to approve and even help right and produce the movies that you watch? it seems that this is how they get us. for example, if you think about it, put yourself in the times of all these things that happen in the united states, those movies. and those tv shows is how they got us to hate the vietnamese one day . but then they switched to the rockies for the f counties. the next. and there's

a terrorist go all by hollywood standard by hollywood standards, tend to be violent errands. russians are bullies. the chinese are sneaky. now remember, the japanese used to be sneaky, but that's no longer the case. because hollywood decided to reassign the sneaky thing from the japanese now to the chinese. because somebody, and i guess the pentagon or the state department made that decision, talk about marching orders as here's the point, according to research conducted in places like the university of georgia. hollywood is in bed with the us state department, and the pen are gone so much so that if you want to make a movie and they don't like it, it's probably not going to be the same. so say you are a producer and you want to make a war film, you would walk into the entertainment liaison office in downtown los angeles

resale when a film an air force base or what an aircraft carrier i once in black or helicopters or whatever it is and they would tell you straight away, give us your entire script. in the documentary theaters of war that you just saw, piece of producers and directors explain how the pentagon insist on control of their message. that means you have to turn your script literally over to them. some people probably would say, well, yeah, i've heard of this like the top gun maybe black home down maybe some of the marvel series. but what they don't know is how systematic this has been. and how huge this operation is being you can call it censorship. you can call it propaganda. it's, it's all of these things. censorship, propaganda that says those are the words of oliver stone. now he is one of the few directors who have succeeded without seeking the approval from the pentagon.

somebody's been able to bypass that, but that's one in a 1000000. so just now pronounced is the state department's hold on the message that we receive and movies the producers of theater award did a freedom of information act to try and get those details. those numbers which they say when they saw them, they were stunned. what we've found is that thousands of homes, thousands upon thousands of products have been affected and are often rewritten, its script level by the national security state in the united states. do normal people know about that? the cost of it. by the way, what do you say we continue this conversation? you and i how do you say we go to twitter? i'm there. you're there. call it x. call it what you want there. i'm rick sanchez, tv. rick sanchez, tv. i'll be looking for you when we come back,

how hollywood sells out, not just in terms of a fake america that they create, but also how they sell out to the state department and the pentagon who they allow to rewrite their scripts. as i mentioned earlier, i just find that amazing will be right back the the march, the 112011. the largest, great ever recorded in japan is we're interested. a 14 me to to nami devastates the focus fema each and you play a pallet. tons the nuclear reenters are flooded, sparking and a risk disaster. the id

on a o. b o n e t r e in juno is living in japan and this nice to go to the area of any of the meltdown. config. ashima immediately drove me to talk to somebody about the gym for ya. investigation stats. watch on tv. the way are in moscow, standing in the front of one of our sons, most iconic symbols and embodies greece, elegance, articles. on a grandiose scale theater,

the, the, the talking about, this is ted rall. he's a political cartoonist and you can find that by the way it wrong dot com r a l l dot com. course you can find them anywhere else cuz he's very publish also very controversial. which may be one of the reasons that we have on the show that let's go to it. what do you say? let's do it. so last night i was watching a movie with my wife. i went to uh, apple tv, and uh, i was watching this, jennifer garner, i wrote down the title. the last thing he told me is the name of the series good series. you can tell it's well done,

they put some money by that stuff. but right. as soon as i started watching it, i saw something that, that, that stood out for me as just an average boy, american guy, you know, we're hispanic american guy. um, in the interviews jennifer gardener, she's being jennifer broader, but that all of a sudden her associate is an african american woman who is immediately like one of the 1st themes is kissing her lesbian girlfriend. and i'm just thinking is that really necessary? but you don't find the fact that she's african american, then the next character is also uh, somebody who is obviously a day. most of the actors are academic african american and, and, and i'm saying this as a guy, ted, there is no worse atrocity in the history of our country than what we did to african americans. and they do deserve, and they deserve to be put in

a place now where people can understand them as something other than the way we used to treat them in hollywood and the way we treated them across the board. but unfortunately, that's not what's happened. it's not honest what i see when i turn on movies. when i see hollywood is not what america looks like, but what they're trying for america to be there may be 3 percent a population. that's great, that's great. and they need to be represented. what about 50 percent? african americans are 13 percent of the population. they're not 60 percent. so it's creating the backlash of mt. hollywood n t movie and he entertainment backlash, which is creating a risk in america. that's my perspective. what's yours? i look, i've experienced it personally, i pitch stuff to hollywood. quite often. i have a project right now in development and i had another project that was based on one of my own books. it was called real americans admit the worst thing i've ever done . and uh, basically the show that was, it was pitched to me, someone came to me and said, we'd like to turn this into a tv show. and the,

basically, i was going to be the host was gonna be the m c. and then we're gonna sort of have people recreate the worst thing that they've ever done in episode after episode. yeah. at one point they come to me and they said, you know, there's this problem, you're a white guy and we're wondering, you know, do, do you care if the host is not you? i'm like, okay, that's the host. it's not me. i have other things to do. it's like do you care if the host is black, for example, or another person of color? i'm like, no, i don't care. and then the like, oh god, but it really should be you because he wrote the book. i'm like, well, you got to decide what you want to do. i can't become black. i'm just, this is why i am in the, in the whole project fell apart because they couldn't spoil that. they said that they couldn't be the production company, said that there's just was no bandwidth in hollywood these days for projects that either showcase a white male straight assist normative,

able bodied star much less and m c. and you know it, it is. i noticed similar things. i'm in the world of pub book publishing. i went to the local, independent books earlier today. all the books on the center table that are featured. they're all, it's just like you describe, right. sort of like, uh, you know, my 1st lesbian kiss or, or whatever. and i'm kind of like thinking, this is so american. we go from a world where a black people never saw themselves on t right ever, chico, and a man was a revolutionary shot, right? for, for to contents, right? and then it's like now where it, where, like white people may not see, hold on tv, and that's what this isn't the 1st country as you point. i don't think either one of us would classify ourselves or could be classified as people who are either racist or don't want other people to be seen on tv. it's just that when i turn on my tv, it doesn't look anything like the america that i live in. it's i want to de representation

. i want dave. it's ok if you want to throw in a trans character from time to time. i certainly want african americans and asian americans and everybody else by the way, hispanics are 20 percent in population. we're only drug dealers in movies for some reason. but i so, so it ain't us it in us. you know. no, it's not us. and like, the thing is, you know, if, if blacks are 14 percent of the population then ish, they should be in front of our eyes, roughly 40 the time ish in all arenas. right? but i can, but i that because i tried that numbers, i can show you there, there are somewhere between 35 and 55, but that's all that's kind of yeah, that's kind of insane. and you know, i was thinking about, you may have seen this old movie, i think of, from the eighty's early ninety's called boomerang. eddie murphy was the star and it was an experiment. click on it was experimental, felt great movies takes place in an office. and without comment, everyone in the field is black, right? there's no, there's no, it's in an office. i think it's a legal office,

but there's no clerk sewer white, there's no. everyone's just black and the fact that they're black isn't really central to the plot. it's just a world where everyone's a black american, it's cool, but it's an experiment. and that that is becoming what hollywood looks like. yeah, for real. and it's like that's not a correction. a correction is where you make the, you make pop culture. look, the way that society, right? i think we both agree. there's something weird that the creating a world that doesn't exist and for some reason they're manipulating it. now, what is the cause, right? i, this is what there's a couple of different things that we can talk about here. the 1st is to the people in those professions who are in management and make the decisions. that's what they believe. in other words, they're likely is a majority of, or they're a majority of people in hollywood for example. they tend to be very well, very liberal. you know, i don't want to go into the work discussion too much,

but they, they, they probably tend to be more gay. they probably tend to be living in a world that makes them want to do that. that might be one of the reasons you agree . i think that's part of it. i mean, you know, i saw a bill maher sketch, where he was talking about how, you know, there's, there's, it's very likely, if you're in like manhattan, where i live r l a, where he lives, that, you know, you'll know, a parent who has say, a transgender child, you know, not so likely if you're from youngstown, ohio. i grew up in the day right now. and there's something to that that world is more diverse. but i also think it's sort of a very corporate kind of way of looking at problems. it's like, it's sort of very simplistic. it's like, okay, well we, you know, someone from the d, you have your new ceo of d. i comes over, it tells you, you know, um, but, you know, see, you know, rick, we have this problem with our company. we are, we don't have nearly enough people of color, and so you think to yourself,

you know, instead of thinking, okay, well we need to up that up. we need to increase that. you like, okay. no more white hires. only bring in people of color stuff like it's like we don't have enough what you have and what much in your kids or their bosses know. you want to tell your story, that's about you what they want to make it about somebody else, because they don't think it fits they, they, they need to do it about that. by the way. those of you watching us around the world and you don't understand the word, the tech just used, it's diversity, the quality of what it, what are the, what's the last one, enclosure. and that's actually something now that has become part of a nomenclature for those of us here in the united states. if you work in a corporation that has become a sort of mand truck for your company nowadays. and i even have a little bit of a problem with that. not that i have a problem with either of those words. i have a problem with the fact that they're kind of creating quick mandating it, you know, well it's, it's the fact that it's so ham fisted and clumsy, right?

it's a fish, it's like there's no grace to it. i mean, to be reasonable. you, you kind of have to say, well, ok, i mean, look, people says life is not a 0 sum game. and when it comes to employment and exposure, it is, every minute that i'm on this show, someone else is not on this show, right? so this is like, so when it comes to this sort of thing like, you know, i recently had a friend suggest to me, oh, you know, hey, if you try to reach out to x, y, z, media corporation about maybe seeing if the, how are you. i'm good, i'm like, are you serious? i'm exactly the demographic that they're trying to fire. hey, it's a delight to talk to you to have your smart guy and i appreciate your work and i appreciate the conversation. thank. thanks rick. so fun. hey, before we go, i want to remind you of our mission here. simple, really. we want to be silo the world. we've got to stop living in these little

boxes where we only know our troops troops don't live in little boxes there everywhere. i'm rick sanchez and i'll be looking for you right here where i help to provide you with a direct impact the the

mix, the yeah, but the one that says google for it, it's on there because really be in which you don't get you should buy some of the creators opinion, okay. the house brackets the bathroom when you go $5.00 thing and i'm going to get a one that is pressure out of minutes and we're going to get the push that and the use the motors which to the university senior. we would have groceries see up in a day just across from the contracts, hard to on the beach. so were you in the mood vision that's point subdued, which is just off the seems to sure. and you know, we story is 1st the private that can those numbers for years? the raj, let's look at osha,

the go ahead. it's the most the most beautiful beaches. that's the ukraine's military chief confirmed was that withdrawal of troops for in the key city of, of the f cap. after months of fierce pop olson, while presidency lensky, church, europe, and update to drum up more financing for his stuttering, more efforts. us authorities cracked, done on an f. b. i informant, to a ledge, the by the family to $10000000.00 in bride. so rich dubious business. the leave is refrain of service all over again. me, judy, this is the neo colonial divide of the world into those who consider themselves exceptional. and the rest, those who are given the role of doing the will of god's chosen ones.
