the month after counterbalancing changes made by the u.s. senate to a new start treaty after coming into force it should slash the two country's nuclear arsenals by sir. musicians are rising up against one taleb am protesting against their music being used as torture and next we talk to grammy award winning guitarist tom morello a very. machine who aims to bring about social change through his talent. he's the face behind the guitar. hard hitting grammy award winning guitarist tom morello strikes his beat to the sounds of social justice. from his early days as lead guitarist of rage against the machine.

to the street sweeper social club tom morello incorporate social issues of the past and present to mobilize his fans toward political change. archie sits down with tom morello tom morello thanks so much for joining us and happy to be something out the press question now you were a member of the class of ten seventy what's you give your voice to immigration debate well i was happy to join the immigration debates and the boycott of arizona through the sound strike which was founded by zach taylor roach of the singer of rage against the machine and it was a simple matter of him texting me asking what i thought i said i'm all in what can we do to help so rage against the machine reached out to many of our friends other artists to ask them to join in the boycott it's a law which basically. makes mandatory racial profiling and as someone who's been you know i spent a lot of my life being the victim of racial profiling i was that i was i literally integrated the town of libertyville illinois i was the first person of color to

reside within its borders and so growing up there regularly be pulled over by the cops even recently a couple years ago i was walking home from a bar at night and i got pulled over and put a hand up the side of the road so i looked like i might be someone who was stealing cars in the area so i thought firsthand. experience with racial profiling so i know what what that law would mean to the daily lives of people in arizona worried and acted. and so. what. we were asked by. organizers within arizona who are fighting against as pretend seventy to lend our names to the international boycott which goes beyond music its unions or boycott the city of los angeles is boycott the state until the law is that awful racist laws thrown out once and for all what do you make of how bahman the banks have been handling our economy as expected you know while obama is a african-american president he's also would member of the democratic party i was

for two years i was the scheduling secretary for us senator alan cranston who was a very progressive about as progressive as any member of the you know us u.s. senate during his tenure but most of the time that i spent with him he was on the phone asking rich guys for money and there's a certain. forfeiting of one's soul that has to occur in order to achieve higher office and the compromise that have to be made you know there are no dr kings or. malcolm x.'s or gandhi's that are going to make or you know rage against the machines they don't make it that far because of the compromise that has to occur so it's basically what i expected i mean it's you know maybe to a less egregious state to the you know during the bush administration the economy has been in the hands of heads of wall street but it's certainly in the hands of wall street tom what do you make of international organizations like the u.s. do you think they absolutely live up to their objectives of helping developing nations and ending world conflicts or do you think they actually cater to the benefits of the more wealthy or developments well i mean if the question is has the

you know how successful is the u.n. been the u.n. security council is basically in the hands of the united states and its closest allies you know that. one hundred fifty countries you know around the planet can vote to that this has been a war crime the u.s. just says no it's not and that's the end of the discussion so it's not really so much a united nations as it is a. body of countries that is beholden to the interests of a few and so it behaves. much like you'd expect president obama has been the commander in chief now for two years and everyone hoped they would assurance a new wave of multilateral negotiations and policies toward the rest of the world but some would argue that that's actually been the opposite stance he came into power how would you rate obama's u.s. foreign policy i mean i think that obama's foreign policy is wanting but again it's not it's obama ran on a policy of expanding the war in afghanistan and that's one promise that he's followed through on in spades you know and you know continuing that illegal and

immoral war as well as still being gauged in iraq not closing down guantanamo bay. what the obama has done. which just by virtue of who he is like i've traveled in the middle east in the last in the map last year and previously you travel millis people like you're from the usa you guys suck now it's like all anyone says is obama so at least the face of united states foreign relations has had a rating effect on some parts of the some part of the world i think the underlying problems like that it's a democratic president it's not a socialist president the democrat you know it's like he does the things you expect democrats to do you know the u.s. government you get your music as a form of you know the worst techniques that some people consider torture blasting your music for seventy two hours nonstop so you essentially convince detainees to give information how did you feel when you found out that the u.s. government had used your music to torture people when we learned that the united

states government was using rage against machines music to torture people guantanamo bay we sued the state department to get him to stop and we were unsuccessful in that suit and pursued over the course of a couple of years and i think it's a thing of the crime my only hope is that they hopefully at some point not too distant future when the war criminals of the bush administration are brought to trial and i one day wearing their yellow jumpsuits and black hoods it will be the music of rage against the machine that is pumped into their cells twenty four hours a day. tom you used to be a member of a very well known group of rage against and i'm wondering how would you categorize what would you believe the machine to be today do you think you should be outraged people should people be outraged they certainly should be. but what i categorize is the machine of today you know the the i think the overarching message of all of my projects whether it's rage against the machine street sweeper social club or the night watchman is that it's every day people who have their hands on the wheel of

history that you can't just wait and you know cast your ballot into the void every four years and cross your fingers and hope for the best that some magical president is going to sprinkle fairy dust and make everything all right that's not how progressive radical or even revolutionary change has ever occurred change happens because you and me and people watching this and listening to this act and stand up for their rights where they live in their time that's how we you know in this country how we got the eight hour day how we got children out of coal mines how we got. how we got to weekends you know how we got the segregated lunch counters that didn't come from the pontification of some brilliant supreme court justice that became that came because the people forced it to happen how would you say capitalism has affected the world's. it's omnipresent you have had the opportunity to to tour in many countries around the planet. even over the course of my tour in history which has been about eighteen years now. you know perth starts to look like lisbon starts to look like berlin start to look like mexico city they all the same

dunkin donuts the same benetton shops you know capitalism and job is to remake the world in its image and to create. and to create wants to create unnecessary wants so there's products to sell to newly dissatisfied consumers that's why you have to have the right pair of jeans to be attractive the right beer to be have your thirst quencher the right you know by a group il to succeed in romance and you know these things are you know so in that regard capital is very successful. well i would say is also successful you have to . you know there's a there's a balance to that and you look at the progressive change that happened a lot of south american countries over the course of the last last decade while u.s. while u.s. aggression was pointed at the middle east but there really has been. a resurgence in people's democracies that are not that are not dictators but you know you're seeing sort of indigenous people in power you're seeing economic domestic policy of south american countries geared towards helping the poor like saying out loud

they're helping the poor some you can never say in the united states in an election and so there is some some reason for hope what do you make of what's happening in line in the aca right now you're seeing a lot of those developing nations collaborate with each other to throw off these very strong influence the u.s. as you know had in that region for decades i think of the movement in south america towards a. the people democracies and a democratization of those economies really was able to occur occur because the you know the eye of sauron was pointed at the middle east you know and the the it was the wars in iraq and afghanistan to divert the united states attention which i'm sure they would have been twenty four hours a day trying to put the hammer down on you know the spawn of venezuela and all that you know as it's as that virus spreads or south america but really both economic i think political capital was so invest the middle east that there was this window of opportunity for south american the people of south america to make their own

choices free of the normal dominating u.s. influence where the name street sweeper social club come from street sweeper social club is the name of the group that i share with we have a new record out called the ghetto blaster e.p. and we're currently enjoying our time on the rock the bells to where the name derives from all the street sweeper is a is a firearm it's like it's like a machine gun that shoots shotgun shells and the idea is that our music is. a weapon for social change the reason why it's a social. club is one because we're a very social unit and there's a very low bar for entry into the social club all you got to do is listen enjoy our jams or come to show when you're in all so we're trying to avoid litigation because someone else on the name streets with what role do you think musicians should play as far as social justice and political change. take on a more like role and work towards different. on the ground to work with movements to implement that's. what i would say first of all i would never what musicians need to do is is what is honest to themselves you know i would never suggest that

musicians to do not have a social conscious adopt one because i suggest that you know me but on the other hand i think that not just musicians but people in any profession whether they're journalists or cameramen or you know groundskeepers but they don't divorce their lives from their politics and their beliefs and that's you know what i didn't choose to be a guitar player that shows me i'm stuck being a top player and it's my job to weave my convictions into my work into my vocation and so i try to do that through the music that i create my interaction with the audience and the nonprofit you know groups and organizations i support you know through my music so that's why i recommend just don't do musicians at whatever level whether you're playing stadiums or whether playing in basements to not be afraid to weave your convictions into what you write about and what you do with your art tom morello member of the. club an international activist it was great to

have you thanks so much thanks very much for having. children now seeing eight thousand murders by the end of elementary school by two hundred thousand by the age of eighteen. movies television shows video game show. twenty four hour news channels is now. every day for malaysia a staple just chilled in. those while those who say tales to first think about it while it was a good sort of artistic and journalistic future but most of the violence there to see what i could have been like since i think that god came down from heaven and stopped. in the house at thirty amen a shot of mormon in

overall i think we had more of the game played by the tribe just to score a run off there was a chance isn't that true in this game so i think that this side of this game. i'd like to apologize to our funds we could have decided the game in the first period we created so many chances but most of them wasted. no more are still in the verge of a place in the playoffs but we all know that whistle chances there will be severely punished. for but for the new on our team. now german ski jumper severin for oil and has won his first ever world cup stage baby hops a very thomas morgan stanley and a second at the large hail abounding supper but trying to tear all of us face off to the first jump but a second effort of a hundred and twenty nine meters allowed him to outperform everyone including world cup play the morgan. he's been to most of the stages this season the austrian
