oh i see you seem to video response more of a twitter for part of the question that we post on you tube every monday and on thursday and it showed enormous sponsors and we played your voice. for. you know some gives you a story and it seems. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and here's some other part of it and realize that everything you. are.

right it's time for tonight's tool time award and tonight it goes to a state lawmaker in tennessee representative gerald mccormick sponsored a bill that's sure to upset a lot of the residents in the volunteer state is he starting on july first it's now going to be illegal to share your username and your password to sites like netflix rhapsody and other subscription based streaming services that's right you could actually face jail time and fines for letting your friends or your boyfriend watch a movie on netflix on your account now here's how the law breaks down ceiling five hundred dollars or less of entertainment would be a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of twenty five hundred dollars i means a movie on your friends next looks account how to be considered stealing potential

jail time that of more than five hundred b. a felony with even heavier penalties so under this new law download services the believe they're getting ripped off can go to law enforcement authorities and just press charges and that's where i have got a big problem with this law and you imagine a college student memphis who borrowed a password or friend's rhapsody account being arrested in class taken to the county jail put into a cell with real criminals that's actually absurd the you might be asking why tennessee well i don't know about the fact that nashville is the country music capital of the world so here again we have the recording the entertainment industry's getting lawmakers to do their bidding now of course lawmakers in tennessee promise that nobody's going to be. security for sharing a password with a family member but the way the law is written it is entirely a possibility of course they claim they're trying to stop hackers and people who send out the info to dozens of people so we've got lawmakers and in tennessee trying to write laws that are vague on issues that they're not well versed on ok go

wrong this plan but you just love it when an older generation tries to legislate technology which they clearly don't understand that then ends up making a law so broad the you could be arrested for simply sharing your netflix password and they have to swear but that's not how the law is going to be enforced and that's why the tennessee lawmakers who voted for this new law and specifically representative mccormick who sponsored the bill are tonight's tools i'm winners. now we've spoken a lot about music on the show and its potential to be political when i say political i mean it's power to educate people to move them to make them think about injustice or war or whatever problem might be in this world but in a way that everybody can enjoy because let's face it music has the power to reach millions of people and it can make all ticks popular it did if you think of the sixty's the seventy's the eighty's via bob dylan or public enemy or john lennon these people made statements are they also made the charts but it is most popular musicians are kind of lacking in the whole questioning off the already in the

system and the global political order arena. you. might. say. it's an even bigger issue when you turn to a lot of mainstream hip hop. were you born in cuba. ok we're going to take a break. now because you see he really got some of this is that i'm not just saying it. so let's introduce you

to a british rapper that's reminding us that music has political power and resisting rather thinking of forming like this is a collar so must keep in mind that. so many of the most interesting people might try posting to the swamp to sleep with my response to right i support my bottom line to the site you see trees and the like. now earlier i spoke to a call and i first asked him to tell us what his music is all about. i was a movie using his social commentary you know continues in the traditions of the can all poets read for jazz and blues. era and truth telling me caribbean reggae and try to. grown up listening to him being aware of my role as an old poet as hopefully he's still him to some degree so i would say certainly all social commentary do you think that the rest of music released an operetta of the majority

of music out there is no longer social commentary and i think that if you look back decades past some of the most popular artists also were very political artists and they you know they did both they sent a message out there as well as a ranking very high on the charts and these days i don't think you can say that the world has gotten any any easier that there are any three were problems out there if not maybe you got even more complex but good news think change. yeah i would say news it changed but i would say music stopped delivering a political message i would just say that political message is change from being one. with you john lennon's and you jimi hendrix's new but more was the question in a dominant agenda i would say music today you know mainstream music is equally political is just that it's pushing a dominant agenda and that's what i think we never really make in this nation we say music lost its politics as a music listening for example encouraging young african-american african caribbean males here to go to jail in a society where prison is private business as it is in the united states and as it

is becoming increasingly here in a country that has the kind of history that the united states has and that britain has in relation to those populations is obviously political and so that's what i think we lost track of is that the music is still pull it was just the agenda that we're hearing more generally is pushing is increasingly capitalist increasingly sexist increasingly more so than is that increasingly racist essentially or fill in particular racial stereotypes that politics is still there is just that there isn't an alternative to the dominant agenda the only politics we're now hearing for the most can mention is the dominant or don't identify think have a great point they're making less than any of the specially the mainstream hip hop music that's out there they want to dance you know if you're in a club it's about her and it's about what you're drinking what car you're driving and you know what he packing i guess you could say but do you think there artists are doing this on purpose or they realize it is it our subconscious thing is that something that audiences want and therefore the artist deliver or the record companies push i'm just wondering where that comes from. i think it's a sri it's

a three sixty's thing what we see does it doesn't dominate the agenda. and in the sense that once two or three hours become tremendously successful in a particular paradigm the whole group also pushing a particular parallel a whole generation of young people start to push someone but hollywood came and big i am in the seventies you know a whole generation of young people in britain turned rusted very you know you know why english kids that were australians it wasn't just the african caribbean fingo that's what was most strongly represented his impact was across the board now whoever the superstar is of a particular time or whatever the superstars represent is where people move towards so all it takes is for two or three people to become superstars pushing a particular agenda talking about particular thing and then a whole generation of young people think well the only way to be successful is to do that and so they push towards that and so because it becomes almost a self interests it was a political news doesn't so within all music question in the dominant politics

doesn't sell well it is not on the radio so how would you know whether it's going to so we're not going to sell is public enemy so perfectly fine oh molly sold hundreds of millions of records you know stevie wonder so you know history of music and sea ice that question particular things selling millions and millions of records so it's kind of a lame excuse when they say it wasn't so because it's not been pushing so of course it's not going to sell the same numbers they used to so but what does that say about the audience that say that you know the consumer of that music doesn't really care what your message is as long as it's for failing i guess you could say it's of some prophecy where it sounds like every other music that's out there that's supposed to be popular you know as it's become this is mind numbing experience rather than something that's thought provoking that my perhaps uncomfortable truths . yeah i would say i would say that those a lot of our listeners and of our tastes and about all of the stereotypes we have you know the music being so overtly particular we current live in just mainstream hip hop actually just mainstream music in some

a socialistic respect and so to me of our societies and over of course with the racial stereotypes overwhelmingly in the audience all the people buy there was you know african caribbean or african-american again reflects kind of or. a legacy we have and there was a bit of a need to kind of stereotype the other because only myself and someone who's trover is jamaican he's more or scottish if i spoke about one side of my ancestry i use the word squashed with a level of disrespect it's become normalized for people to speak about the other side of my ancestry i'm pretty sure everyone even young black kids would say because going crazy. i want to tell you are just as a running out of time i've got my question i ask you do you think i mean you are being quite successful for yourself i guess you could say in the british rap scene especially is that you think that maybe more of a political rap scene has moved to england we interview loci all the time on the shell here you i've heard great things about you and your music and your message but also as england have up its sleeve. i would simply move here as it was seen on

the ground in the us and even the most often low key and i was like there's a young michael judge a judge or so those swiss know jake there's a whole scene here of young politically germany of course in this certainly do have families and all korean crisscross open the same time we're on daytime radio ten times a day so there is still that being had versus the amount of popularity i sort of equate into the amount of representation to get on radio and immediate article i want to thank you very much for joining us tonight you know hopefully we can speak to you again thank you very much. as. the light will come down. celestial choirs will be singing. ladies and gentlemen today we really do have a glimmer of hope see the house of representatives the branch of government who just can't seem to agree on much of anything or at least pretends not to has voted to cut the t.s.a.

budget by two hundred seventy million dollars now these cuts would directly affect officers who actually perform the screenings at the airports and as much as i don't want anybody to lose their job i really do think that there needs to be an allocation of resources a different one new jobs created somewhere else other than the groping counter at the airport after all i think it's fair to say that these people have done more harm than good i mean case you don't agree just give me a minute here to prove my case because there are just so many examples of the t.s.a. violating your rights and your privacy and your freedoms so as you know the t.s.a. has two options at some airports for screening you have the body scanners which take pictures of of you and your private parts and of course they had a lot of people upset over having their picture taken make it but if you refuse to walk through that scanner there was the other option the pat down you know where they touch your junk. you're. the standard. here and we're. also we're going to do it for you years ago basically here under

the you know your group of words we still have. to turn to look for a. very. very good group of you if you do there here's a case for joining me here with. the out that video which popped up on you tube last november's further entire don't touch my junk movement amongst describable flyers and not only was there an entire day dedicated to it there are also t. shirts and other gear telling those who agree to the body scanners were left out of the fun they even had underwear made with little they gleaves on it to cover up you're not a part but that's just the tip of the iceberg to the t.s.a. has a policy where they have to check everyone and that even includes six year old children . we. get. to hear. it. only

a. couple. of. it's enough to make you sick right i mean why would a six year old be suspicious but wait a minute it actually gets even worse you see an airport in kansas city missouri a man cop t.s.a. doing a pat down on a baby baby and the t.s.a. actually try to explain why it was at b.c. report after the child's stroller along and during explosive screening officers followed protocol to conduct additional screening on members of the family who were very cooperative. so i guess we've seen it all the t.s.a. makes no bones about it they will fulfill their duties even if that means checking a baby's diaper to make sure there are any explosives inside just to seal the deal

i think it's pretty fair to say that there's a problem with the t.s.a. when somebody goes as far as making a song about it. so now. that you can trust t.s.a. . to make it you. all right so that's it that is a my argument for why the t.s.a. is one government funded organization that really needs to get tossed out so i think it's safe to say that cutting almost three hundred million dollars from them is a true glimmer of hope. now coming up next they have heart fireside friday and then stick around for happy hour team in china for the kidney for an i pad and feeding the homeless will get you arrested one for the rest of europe back. into it only a military mechanisms can do the work to bring justice or accountability. i have

every right to know what my government should do if you want to know why i pay taxes. but i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for like sleep you think you understand it and then he glimpse something else you hear sees some other part of it and realize that everything is ok if you don't i'm trying hard look at the big picture. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right.

i think the. one well. we're never government says they're for keeping safe get ready for freedom. for five. fps.

since it's. your. you know thinking about the fourteen or fifteen million people in this country who don't have a job the millions that are losing their homes and the biggest corporations in the world which are based in this country which have a negative tax rates and the fact that this great recession is probably double the thing that kind of stuff can really wear on you can make you angry can make you bitter it can make you want to tear your hair out most of all making lots of revenge and i don't mean to hurt somebody's kind of revenge i just mean some feeling of satisfaction that comes with justice but making the people who are responsible for everyone else's misery pay for it wall street i'm talking about you yeah you guys the ones who decided to bet against people's livelihoods their mortgages their investments all to make profit money money money money at the expense of everyone else they're also the ones who have gotten away with all of it scot free thanks to the government that not only bailed you out with taxpayer money

but also refuses to bring any investigations and it only took a good q. and a half years but finally earlier this year a senate panel concluded that goldman sachs misled the american people that lie it's a congress upon testimony and they referred lloyd blankfein as well as a few other goldman executives to the justice department and to the as you see and so far nothing has happened in fact the only glimmer of hope in this entire situation is that we found out this week and the manhattan district attorney's office has subpoenaed goldman sachs and it really is exciting on the surface he starts feeling the blood running through. your brains you start thinking that maybe something's going to happen but the reality here is a subpoena that's just a request for information it doesn't mean a criminal case is actually being built and any analyst out there is already predicting that there won't be one at the end of the day it's just one thank you you know i would love to be wrong on this one i'd love to see a criminal case actually pop up in new york or hell anywhere for that matter but it

won't our government has decided that the largest corporations the largest banks are all above the law they're too big and they're too rich to deal with those petty rules like the rest of us that's just a little something for you to think about if you look at the jobs numbers this friday. ok it's. by the way and joining me for happy hour on this friday evening is r.t. correspondent lauren lyster and catherine c i know warren brooks journalism fellow at the competitive enterprise institute thank you so much for joining me a ladies man first turners we have i don't even know what to say about this story i think that's just kind of tells you that it's a screwed up messed up world that we're living in and there was a kid who actually sold his kidney for an i pad and here's here's the news story on

it take a look. he allegedly sold one of his kidneys to purchase the device but boy he's not being identified his mother reportedly became suspicious after the seventeen year old turned up at home with a new i pad and a large scar on his right side that. you know i think suspicious that my son just came home with a giant scar on his side really we were out there ready to explain watching this segment of this news because it looks like the onion news network it's like unbelievable you would think that actually it is so out of this world and it's really sad too because. you know all of our i pads all of our apple except series are made in china with cheap labor and then you have people selling their kidneys to purchase them but you can get a kind of a price because the price one kidney is a cup a zero and so you can get enough money to yourself and. all and i mean i don't know a person i was thinking maybe it's worth it because he can like advance his life he

has like more so you know social mobility has all of these tools but when i was like well i can really use the internet you know you don't want to pay if you want for the geniuses and not to mention it you know they don't have as much of a free reign on the internet. yes it's also censored so maybe it's not going to help them as much would have other things today is that jack kevorkian known as dr death he passed away today and i think that you know this is something that it's really interesting because the whole idea of assisted suicide it still hasn't been addressed we haven't gone anywhere since the days since when jack kevorkian was was convicted of course there was even a movie this year with him and i think that what we've always seen for especially coming from the media is kind of the negative angle of what this man to be can take a clip. kevorkian was arrested several dozen times but for years prosecutors were not able to get a conviction in court not guilty. do you want to go ahead with this then

in one thousand nine hundred sixty minutes aired a videotape of kapoor can actually administering a lethal injection to a michigan man. he was arrested again. and how do you feel about assisted suicide i mean i think honestly there are people that should you should be able to choose of course it's really hard to say whether somebody can be taken advantage if you're not in the proper state of mind anymore but if you have a terminal illness and your life is miserable i think you should absolutely have the right to choose to end it and i feel like that's something that you know kid doesn't get that doesn't get portrayed in the media well i think one thing that's interesting looking through this kind of photo montage they did of him is you know you do hear you know the idea the concept of assisted suicide but then kind of the reality to dirty reality you know they would like find us van that had a woman's body in a bag like you know it's like there's a body to dispose. of to do them in

a shady way and he just makes it this thing that is really but what he wanted to do was have the right to die with dignity and the whole point was that if somebody contracted to die with his assistance he would give them the mixture they would inject themselves he was an inverter and you know he was helping them to die with dignity and you know once the person is gone the may have contracted how they want to deal with the body and how they want their family to receive it so all of this is has to do with the idea that people can choose to do what they want with their lives and you know to be ok i know how to have had a friend whose mom had two parents and they would literally go into her nursing home and find her with a gun trying to kill herself it's just i don't know there's something to it right there should be some method of dignity. ok our next story is. our next story is so trivial compared to that. there was a hero. in scotland or in ireland i certainly just forgot where they accidently

marked it down under sail a little bit you know where you get three of these are just eleven pounds that apparently there is a stamp. i mean just cracks you know i feel like i would totally have been here if it was really happy for them on their go or go on. over there and we do you think more americans would stampede for a go for beer or like three fried chicken for b.s. seventeen dollars for forty five bottles of beer this was like quite the deal yeah absolutely i think it's of any of the little anecdotes like someone like told their dad already putting on a tennis shoes or running this is all right. i would tell you i would say i don't blame these people at all now this next story is just kind of screwed up because there are some people out there that i don't know have good hearts they want to help people but thanks to permit zoning requirements a little bit of bureaucracy that always happens to get in the way some people actually got arrested for feeding the homeless take a look at this clip. of the police move quickly and we'll orchestrate

a caravan of your squad cars pulled up to leave you alone since a little more cost is the cruisers try the food not bombs for ever serving the holders get arrested because they didn't have a pivotal feel good. apparently because actually waited until they fed everybody but i like the way this news story acted like they rolled up and got there soon as they possibly could in the broom down on the ground as if there were there was a hurry here but i mean it's that right you want to do a good thing and you can't. put it looking this that but just looking a little bit and look like there's only one part that has this restriction on it and central and and there are sixty six parts are going to churches at all and this group has been provoking police into arresting them to have this kind of a new steering this kind of coverage so last year there was a computer there was a drum circle and they refused to stop drumming on their feet and so this is a group that won some publicity and that's had a lot about their admittedly little obedience but it's all good right now current that's right downtown that's right next to the government building maybe it's most easily accessible one people have to travel everywhere else maybe but also you know

i have to give them credit if their goal was to listen and i'm glad that they got to lizzie in orange county florida at a time when casey anthony is dominating so much publicity that's where she's from. i like i said i second that statement to be able to get some. time during not a whole you know i mean all the trains are cable networks are covering not nonstop if they're able to get some air time henderson well i just think you know sometimes you can't force people to do nice things for anybody else or to feed the homeless and then you have organizations that do ensure it's a stupid stupid law i guess that you need a permit to do so that's free speech and i like the name of the like there's no down. no ground up i'm sorry ladies thank you very much for joining me out of this friday that's a good night child thanks for tuning in to make sure they come back on monday i want to take on a roid and hollander he's the guy that sued bars and nightclubs over discrimination and now he's suing the government for giving his wife who he abused a green card so meantime don't forget become
