ladies and gentlemen got an awesome show tonight donald trump goes down jordin paige will be rocking with the world premiere track tonight in studio in full order jason burgess joins us from new york and will mark earth day with a sit down with janet redmond co-director of the same noble energy and economy network with the institute for policy studies trump is running a publicity presidential campaign but not for long negative mail not neal com nancy has the day off tonight so i'll be your all's out of focus you're watching adam vs the man.
7:01 pm
so you learn about donald trump's latest publicity stunt he's pretending to run for president the sad part is the g.o.p. base is to some degree going for it according to a recent poll from the wall street journal he's close to leading the field but if there was ever a poll to be questioned this is it i think they must have been asking something like for president of the united states of america would you prefer a donald trump be snooki mitt romney care or d. some guy from kenya yes trump is going to. the birth or issue one is right about
7:02 pm
one thing it certainly resonates with the people who respond well to wall street journal polls and america's new disgusting strain of xena phobia that is fear of people not like us you know like a rock present from kenya who is a socialist and a baby eater you don't have to be afraid of the president to disagree with him but trump is then making the headlines and making the rounds i would going to take the oil i would just take the oil we don't know who the rebels are we hear they come from iran we hear they're influenced by iran iran or al-qaeda and frankly i would go and i would take the oil and stop this baby stuff like your babies we have wars and we leave we go and we have wars we lose lives we lose money and we leave i would go in and take the oil and i clean up everything wait you're just going to take it for granted certainly you've got a hard hitting journalistic follow up question delivered with a manly snarl right like you did how do you describe president obama's strategy on
7:03 pm
libya i think is weak and ineffective on home most every front including libya wait that was it really. ok trump you're not just proposing something massively immoral you're lying you would not go in and take the oil men like me would go in and take the oil while you sit in the white house on your fat ass playing with their silly here let's break this down from style for just a second stealing is back stealing is wrong you're supposed to learn this in elementary school see when you take something that doesn't belong to you you're violating someone else's property rights and if you violate their property rights you're taking away their freedom if you take the product of someone else's labor be it in oil tax dollars or supermodel trophy wives you are forcing them to work for you that's known as slavery so i thought for trump is
7:04 pm
a vote for theft stealing is wrong and so is he but someone's going to challenge him on this right you had a war to the vehicle in this post you go in you win the war you take it slowly stealing oil usually you not stealing me you not stealing anything you are taking were reimbursing ourselves for at least at a minimum and i say more were taken back one point five trillion dollars wait wait wait now i get it it's not stealing it's taking no wait wait wait it's reimbursing yes we're not occupying any countries in the middle east anymore we're liberating them it's not taxation it's just revenue enhancement it's not a war it's a kinetic military action you're not a national joke donald trump you're a serious presidential candidate maybe seth macfarlane can help me out here it's
7:05 pm
pronounced i am delusional not i am running for president. i'm sick of politicians with the line like i'm going to run this country like a business the point of business is the profit to make money that's a good thing but the last thing i want is a government with lots of money that means less freedom government should be run efficiently like some businesses but not like a business or government run like a business means it's going to try to make money the government still don't produce and sell anything of value to raise revenues they take it or maybe a reimbursement through taxation you want higher taxes more war and blood on your hands trump is your man but henri from scott you see on his side. first list she argues for changing redirection.
7:06 pm
much. oh my god he's got abuse he is a trump is going to be president now for reals i would say something flattery about making good business deals and business decisions as he's pointed out over and over again but maybe he's just been reimbursing himself all this time. recent revelations have many americans concerned about protecting the data on their cellphones and even g.p.s. cords being used to track your movement personally i'm not really concerned about tracking me by my i phone g.p.s. and this piece of crap never even homes where i am if they're tracking me with with my i phone they must think i'm flying around in a helicopter high on crack but first serious look at your digital privacy joining
7:07 pm
us now from new york is the info war you're himself jason. jason. excellent thank you so much for joining us tonight what's your take on this latest scare this round of threats we're hearing around cell phone data privacy cops being able to download information off your cell phone when they pull you over how much of a threat is this well it's nothing new anybody in the know knew that this technology is here it's being used it's been used for years just look at a court case happening versus a t.n.t. from two thousand and two to two thousand and three they were caught working with the n.s.a. and nora's insight system collecting all of your cell phone daughter data all of your regular phone data and all of your computer data that ran through their systems so now that google is also come out with their android phone tracking not a surprise we knew that google was data collecting with their google earth mode beals remember when they were just taking unsecured why five data what they're doing with this information is profiling people and profiling them on the next
7:08 pm
level and selling that information to corporations as well as working with the government so a lot of the threats coming up that we have to be concerned about at this point well technology is a double edged sword but whereas before we were comfortable using our credit cards and having those purchases trays or your supermarket cards this is actually going from location to location so if you just use an app say to find a restaurant near you it's zero in on that coordinate building a greater profile and obviously people want their privacy they may not want other people to know where they're going all the time and this creates a great security risk for blackmail as well we know that people in both congress and senate have i phones you know so this is yet another double edged sword technology and we have to be aware of the of the implications of it you know another thing that people aren't talking about right now they're not talking about microsoft microsoft has these smart phones they openly work with the national
7:09 pm
security agency they put ten and a half million and next. in homes that are immediately collecting video and audio so you know we have to keep our eyes open and we have to keep these people honest i think it's great that al franken is going to take these people to court and get as much truth out as he possibly can out santa thank you so much jason appreciate you joining us from oneonta new york i also just want to again remind our audience for the cell phones with the data download from from cops in your vehicles that if you get pulled over they now in at least in michigan are able to say i want to download information from that cell phone hand it to me and play it in a machine take all the data out of it so if you get pulled over if you can put it in a glove box if you can get it out of the way you might be able to protect yourself from that one particular information on your privacy but we have a very special guest tonight joining me in studio as promised world premiere of a new track tonight live for adam vs the man jordan paige my good friend singer
7:10 pm
songwriter activist in studio jordan thanks so much for joining us thanks for having it out standard hey now you got a gig tonight we're really grateful that you were annapolis and we were able to get you in studio but also tomorrow fed stock to philadelphia you'll be performing apparently on the they asked me to come out and run my mouth for a bit because they know that you can do you mean you've had you've always had a political message imbued in your music and it not in a way that is really overpowering but it's still incredibly powerful has been really able to reach people and you've volunteered and this is why i have so much respect for you as an activist you've taken so much of your time instead of i mean i mean new album out revolution but if. you have me going about your musical career. i'm going to make albums i want to make money on this going to put the stuff out on the side off you know and i want to
7:11 pm
congratulate you on some of your your relatively recent commercial success with the new album but you have dedicated so much of your time to to events like this tell us about how your. philosophy that influences your music well first of all to kind of address something you said about like. taking my career in a different direction i originally was just playing songs about relationships and the same old stuff and i had the revelation of personal revelation there was a larger world and there were things that were more important and when i first began this i never thought that i would be successful with it but i was going to do it anyway and what i found the more i started writing these songs with the political messages i found that there were so many people who were identifying with what i was saying it was like giving voice to their concerns and i've actually had ten times more success being true to myself than selling out you know you have the options of selling out here and there you're always back something before i think
7:12 pm
this certainly not anymore or you can go here it's this to your music i mean you're kind of rights of the bone you're calling out. you're calling out the government you're calling globalist you're calling out the wars well it's like this put up or shut up you know i've taken i've made the decision in my life to take a stand against this democratic dictatorship that we've all chosen as our system of control of choice to like you know rule our lives and i you know i have i have three children and a wife and i have this family that that is my country and you know they represent everything that america is to me and if they're not free then i've been wasting my time on this planet so i want to be able to look at them in twenty years and say i did something to to stifle the progress of tyranny and now you know we wouldn't have jordan page in the studio without his guitar but before you play some of the great over to say when we come back we're going to be sent down janet reitman institute for policy studies with a special edition of f. m.r.i.
7:13 pm
and again thanks to you. more about sex and that special for more information so you can but right now for a as promised world premiere of a new track from jordan paid he wrote just to promote the ron paul two thousand and twelve presidential. campaign taking off here shortly if not right now ladies and gentlemen short of page i certainly hope that this song is called a lighter evolution and i wrote this for ron paul. you would be a bold new poll. on the soul of soul music only. you would see. your lowest slow to. fall asleep or sleep with. the really long.
7:14 pm
7:15 pm
following. tribes the world the fear mongering unified. politicians who makes decisions to break through of it that it be made who can you trust no one will is you know maybe you'll agree with that noble mission or woodsy where are we cutting state controls capitalism is quite old fashioned so when nobody dares to ask we do our tea question more. and get. into it only at military mechanisms if you don't work to bring justice or
7:16 pm
accountability. i have every right to know what my government should do if you want to know why i think the tax that. i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. well the back to adam vs the man on this day in one thousand seventy the first earth day was held thanks to an american politician senator dealer nelson before that the earth was completely underappreciated in generally unrecognized for its importance and while you know everything since then earth has become a global phenomenon by environmentalists everywhere including myself who do things
7:17 pm
like plant trees protest global warming and debate cap and trade why april second her doctors senator nelson pick today to maximize participation on college campuses also with four twenty just two days prior most college students would still be stoned and easily persuaded joining me now is janet redmond co-director of the sustainable energy and economy network where she provides analysis of the international financial institutions energy investment in carbon i mean it's activities and she's called the world world bank a climate profiteer janet thanks for being with us so i think ok so right on so world bank climate prophets here explain that there was a back room yes the bank has been actively involved in all kinds of things environmental for a long time right so they are there to fund banking that know how much i guess know already about the world bank they've been around for about sixty years their mission is change from development of europe after world war two to really thinking about alleviating poverty in the developing world in the global south
7:18 pm
a big part of that luckily has been a recognition that development can't just happen it's not just economic the house the sustainable development we have to recognize that things like clean water clean air clean land and soil are important part of development all around the world lost in the global south so they've been very involved in the environment for a long time and fortunately part of that work has been also encouraging the kinds of energy that are really very so part of their plan of poverty alleviation as using things like coal oil gas. to promote development to give people access to energy but all that relates to the consequence that would be unavoidable when you have the kind of talk gun control with a central bank essentially manipulating the flow of resources and that's certainly there were some unintended consequences but the bank has been made aware of those consequences certainly since earth day but in particular in the past ten fifteen years and very much in kicking the past few years especially as the climate change issue has become you know recognized throughout the world by governments around the world including governments of the global south who are impacted most by both
7:19 pm
poverty but also by climate change kind of changes really in is exacerbated poverty and in fact the world bank itself has recognized that climate change is going to undo many of the development gains have been made in the global south so the banks poison a moment where it's got a contradiction on its hands it's both financing fossil fuels around the world in fact it's increased four hundred percent fossil fuel financing in the past few years four years and the other hand it's also paying working very hard to fight to fight climate change unfortunately it's helping create a problem and it's helping fight the problem the price that we see as being a profiteer piece is that it's managing many funds and getting paid to manage money fund to fight a problem the talking create that's us is a real conflict of interest we're saying if it really wants to fight climate change it should get out of helping cause the problem and put those researchers in helping fight the problem started ok and i just have to make something clear is that because otherwise i know my audience here is going to jump down my throat i need to go about this and we're going to get insights i don't believe in manmade climate change i believe the climate change is real but i don't believe that it's i haven't
7:20 pm
been convinced that it's been it's been caused by human activities i put but i share the concern i consider myself an environmentalist i think that the environment is our most valuable resource and needs to be preserved but the way to do it is through making sure that people have. an economic reason to want to preserve their environmental resources and when you have these top down systems that manipulate from the world bank or from any of what we're hearing from governments trying to. dress climate change you have profits here and you have the kind of misallocation of resources that don't reflect the needs only ground of people who want clean water because essential to the survival they want a place to grow crops and when you when you come in and you have these solutions that end up with unintended consequences how do you maintain faith with people who just want that they don't care about climate change they don't you know they don't and most people in the world who are suffering because of the issues that we're talking about don't have the global perspective they're looking at how do i get clean water how do i get clean food how do i take care of my family and they see
7:21 pm
the world bank coming in supporting all of these major corporations that rely on polluting forms of energy and then they are the ones that deal with the unintended consequences i mean it's great for you to sit here and and criticize the world bank but for them isn't there a model that's more ground up than they can do that and that's the whole idea that that we're talking about we talk about things like the world bank being involved either in climate change or on the other end of that of helping create the kind of problem what i would i would i would argue a little bit with the idea that folks who are in the global south who are living in poverty you know don't have a global perspective i think that's going to say it's over the primary concern of people is you know even even it's not global warming it's going to the pollution of it it's what they're dealing with absolutely those are far greater concern and far more immediate concern then i mean i guess i will even climate change climate change is happening whether or not that's something that we are manipulator can affect i think that's still yet to be determined and you know even if you don't
7:22 pm
believe that you can that humans can affect climate change i would take huge issue it's getting its attention by many many scientists but even if you don't believe that and you believe that global warming is happening it's happening more quickly than it's ever happened before and can leave it at that even the consequences of you know that's not for dispute because of the consequences of climate change things like changes in rain change their harvest changes in weather. all those pieces are actually the things on the ground that people are dealing with that farmers. deal with it that's what that's what the folks little south who are fighting poverty in their own communities are dealing with so yes i think the impacts of climate change are very very immediate and very much on people's minds and are connected to the larger issue of big things are changing here we understand the big things that change it's not just climate change and it's also the solutions to climate change as you pointed out so for example i think you really i think you're right when the world bank or anyone comes in and says a solution to climate change should be hydro we can make large dams all over the world that will give us clean renewable energy and i'm sorry we're going to have to
7:23 pm
kick your entire community out of this valley because we're going to put a reservoir here i agree i think that's absolutely not a real solution to climate change and so a lot of folks are saying around the world in particular climate justice movement and particularly climate justice movement in the global south they're saying you know part of the solution is to hear what our solutions are we've been dealing with a changing world for twenty years how much change and just happens today we may have just realized in the end the a little bit earlier they are of course very good records from third said about philosophically looking where the money is coming from where the power is coming from where the solutions so-called are coming from is the environment really is our most valuable resource and i think people recognize that inherently even those that don't talk about it are bring it up what have you. certainly there must be a way to address these issues without the force and imposition of government without the violent manipulation of economic resources isn't there a way that we can harness that instead of the desire of people to preserve the environment because it's in their own economic self-interest without having to
7:24 pm
impose a proper solution i don't think it's one of the other and i think you're kind of drawing a false dichotomy i think yes it's absolutely critical that people in community people on the local level i doing things to adapt to changing environment and they are be localizing energy economies small hydro small geothermal they're doing in terms of culture local agriculture look at what your system that's happening all the world that's happening here in the u.s. the farmer's market movement is a part of that piece i don't know you can separate that from the other piece the issue which is i believe that climate change is in large part contributed to by the release of greenhouse gases that's happening around the world that will continue to happen unless there are rules made about restricting the greenhouse gases that we emit i think that it is wonderful if a community if a community graduate in washington he says i'm totally against coal that's great i don't live in a place that burns coal you know but there is there are communities in california where coal is very refined so there has to be a system that connects those two pieces up because unfortunately i am impacted by the coal that's burned in other parts the world and the oil that's refined in the
7:25 pm
price the world so we can leave it's a local institutions local governments local autonomous miscall circle i think we can go i think we can go more grassroots than that you know i appreciate the sentiment of we're still working on broadcasters sorry have to disagree with the tigers i think we can do this without the government i think if we do it without force without the coercion would be far better off in the long run and have systems in place that are able to really preserve our environmental resources that are pretty common thank you thank you so much. and now for more information tonight we'll start with the tubes as you may know every episode of adam vs the man is posted on you tube within a few hours of broadcasting yes we read every single column and last night so we brought back adam vs the man contributor jake the libretto for a special segment with luke reality but apparently some of you in our audience didn't take too kindly. to his well everything from his sexual preference to his attire jobs or slavery wrote who's the efi moron

a couple more comments from you two from luke bessie who writes i love your show adam but i think it may be time that we stop using the propaganda of the state this idea that soldiers are fighting for our freedom is ridiculous i appreciate your heart and your intentions and i believe that you may honestly think that you are protecting us but this is just not the case. war breeds war we have to start being honest about the tough issues fears so i certainly appreciate the sentiment and you're right i don't have any illusions about what i was doing when i was serving in two thousand and four it had nothing to do with protecting the freedoms of americans but it was why i put on the uniform in the first place and i think there's still something noble in military service and be willing to put your life in the line to protect those around you all right back to you tube infrastructure fisher writes best episode yet i think a tax revolt is the answer it's nonviolent and it sends a huge message stop murdering people stop colluding with corporations and stop with
