first. let's not forget that we had an apartheid break. i think. either well. we never got as there are the safe get ready because the freedom.

party time for tonight's tool time award and tonight goes to wisconsin state supreme court justice david prosser you may think that he's winning this award for his alleged fights with fellow justice and watch bradley and if you haven't heard justice process or is accused of putting justice bradley in a chokehold going to disagree with they had more than a week ago the whole incident has just turned into a three ring circus in wisconsin allegations charges of lying being tossed around by both democrats and republicans as you might expect the local media and that is the state capitol of wisconsin well they're just going big gangbusters over this story every single day reporters are trying to find out what really happened and break new details on the quay. yes sir porter from the local fox faces justice

prosper in the hallway of the supreme court on thursday and he tried to figure that out take a look and she called me. justice david prosser grabbed our microphone second thought he decided he didn't have any use for it and he didn't want to answer any of our questions because the press or what happened in that room with. yeah sounds like somebody had a change of heart two seconds after grabbing that thing i wonder why that would be i don't know how about because you're accused of putting a fellow justice in a chokehold and then just a few days later you snatch the microphone out of the hand of a reporter talk about a bad p.r. move but you see the reporter in madison. he kept chasing at the justice trying to find out what really happened there a reason you won't explain what happened to the public instead he turned his back on those in the elevator and stormed into his chambers. you know the whole thing about this story though the whole thing of who put who

would it show holder who pushed who isn't this point there's really there's no telling what actually happened but if you're just as ought to state supreme court with brinkley would have better judgment than to make yourself look guilty but i think that most people would agree that if somebody runs in the media slams the door in their face it looks like they have something to hide from the looks of this story it appears that just as david prosser needs some anger management classes you know i was accused of putting a fellow colleague here at our t.v. show called believe me i've been my best behavior around the office of course that would never happen i'm a peace loving person but this thursday incident of grabbing a reporter's microphone is not going to win the justice any new france and in fact it'll probably already confirm what a lot of people are thinking that he's got a temper so police and a judicial review board it was constant are investigating the choking incident but no word on when they will be complete so let's hope it happens soon because it looks like supreme excuse the wisconsin state supreme court justice david prosper is about to blow a gasket and that's why we're giving him our tool time award tonight. all right so

you know a caution about bringing attention to police involved incidents the go a step too far and this time i'd like to present to you an incident that happened a few weeks ago and dayton ohio a mentally handicapped teenager named jesse curacy was stopped by police when the teenager who also had a speech impediment tried to explain his condition to the officer willy hooper helicopter but he was being disrespected by courtesy and in fact a core papers go on to explain that a neighbor who saw this dispute tried to explain the situation the officer however hooper threatened to arrest the neighbor if he didn't go inside there the teenager attempted to return to his home to ask his mother for help but officer who followed him managed to beat him pepper spray him tase him and then proceeded to call for backup from fellow police officers go despite the fact that at this point here is his mother was trying to explain the teen's mental state he was handcuffed oxide and. then put the back of a police car now i part of the project we don't have any video of this incident or

any interviews with local police about what happened because the media and didn't know heigho barely didn't really cover this issue the local news station thought that it would be much more appealing to cover local fairs and road construction learning how officers in their district teach treat teenagers with mental disabilities now since they refuse to give any attention to it let me explain why this is such a ridiculous case for starters the teenager was not only beaten and pepper sprayed he was also tate i'll take your guns are supposed to only be used by police officers to stun a disgruntled person into submission we've seen the get pretty taser happy over the years and often times tasers have led to deaths for ten hours of searching for his mother unsuccessfully at the airport security slips out starts throwing chairs at a glass window in the customs region of the airport for officers finally approach one pulls out a taser and opens fire. after being cost. is dead in spanaway gave her

seat pierce county sheriff's deputies use extreme force to take down the man who refused to leave in a partly due to it. or five times. after . the twenty seven year old sped away band leader died at the hospital one of the deputies deployed his taser sitting in a normal sized chunk of electricity into coal yours body he stopped breathing the good piece trying to revive him using c.t. your but it was too late. i was scary part here is the officer still use tasers to detain people as a less deadly method than say their guns even if tasers have been linked in several deaths in the past but in this case there is no excuse for the way officer who perpetrated the mentally handicapped teenager beaten stunned that first break at a hot time for a speech impediment was grossly mistaken is being disrespectful so this deserves a double whammy award for an officer who completely misunderstood a situation for putting an innocent teenager through hell. the u.s.

and its nato allies have not been bombing libya for more than three months with each passing day the suppose it could manage tarion intervention which they refuse to acknowledge is a war looks more and more like a stalemate and we brought you extensive coverage of the illegality of this war but not explainable explanation by the obama administration or why this president involved has unilaterally and without asking congress but we knew the american people also didn't get a say and rapper marcel card he has decided to make music about that. because it's a. human rights. thing. the only thing. i also take a look at how this war explains america's greater foreign policy agenda. you'll be similar to the same point. when. she was president it.

really gave them the needle. the problem. even though the first call the police storm since did. it's a topic that we've touched upon it many times on this show the power of music to become a political tool so why does he only one do it joining me from our studio in new york is rap artist marcel carvey his album hands off libya is due to be released this august marcelle thanks so much for joining us tonight so your album is coming out in august so carby gave the audience a taste of two songs on there are you making an entire album about libya. well toward the end of his life martin luther king said the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today is my own government and he also said the government continues to spend more money every year on the war than on programs of social or

lift is spiritual death now we have to put together these imperial adventures of broad and the fact that every single year and every day for that matter they tell us again and again and again there is no money for basic social programs there's no money for education there's no money for health care and don't even think about asking for those things as basic human rights but suddenly when it comes to war there was always an endless supply at any given time so we have to put those two together and we have to understand that poor and working people need to stand up not only for economic rights but against these wars of imperialism and occupation because that would bring us liberation and what do you think about the fact that be administration refuses to call that's war a war they would say that it doesn't even count as hostility in fact of the war powers act and they still go on calling this a humanitarian intervention. but we shouldn't be surprised whatsoever we're dealing

with the united states the greatest in slaver of african people in history and we're also dealing with france and britain the two biggest colonizers of africa you know when they first colonize africa they use the humanitarian the guys there is well they said we have to civilize the african people it is the white man's burden to civilize africa and they're doing it all over again it doesn't matter which u.s. president is in office you know so we shouldn't be surprised whatsoever by this you know they can see again and again that it's humanitarian just like it was in iraq just like it is in afghanistan to fight terrorism but they never acknowledge that their war is in themselves or terrorist actions and that the u.s. government is the biggest terrorist in the world. well you know i think you make a good point and one of the clips that we show there when you said you know this these people don't represent you and i think a lot of americans are probably feel that way because we have no say in the wars

that are fun on our behalf that are in our name if you think about that are going to change or is this military industrial complex just too large and work you removed from it. i think the it is a matter of clinton's in office bush is an office obama is in office because it was fundamentally at stake is the system and the system of capitalism is what creates these wars imperialism is the highest stage of the system is not a policy is not something that obama could change even if you wanted so you know this military industrial complex they constantly need wars in order to stimulate the economy never for poor and working people but to answer your question i think that the power is in the people i think that history has shown us the every time the organized masses come out you know we had the revolutionary movement in the sixty's in the seventy's in the u.s. government was scared to death because they saw the organized people so we need to regroup again we need a revolutionary movement with real leadership and that we can take down some of

what obama not about bush it's about parasites who are in power who represent one percent and the people who represent the other ninety nine probably more now you know and we saw the revolution going on in egypt as well you also made a song about michelle a clip of that the audience right now. morsi was born but. you. see. you post was committed. so you make so many points about how revolution change democracy has to come from the bottom up and from the people but then what he had to say about the situation that we're seeing in egypt on the ground right now the continued violence. well the egyptian revolution the mainstream media likes the term the egyptian. revolution which is really just the removal of hosni mubarak from power that was really the first step that was not a revolution in itself because after mubarak was gone you still have the same system in place it's still a proxy state of the u.s.

is still a puppet state so the egyptian masses are demanding more they're not willing to settle for nothing they don't see the bloodshed you know that happened in february is the end they understand that the entire system has to go in perhaps their legs organization and that's what's really needed on the ground you know i don't i don't think that i don't think the violence on the half of the oppressed people fighting for their liberation is a bad thing i think that you know first of all the most violent people involved in this process were the egyptian government you know their force of repression you know sort of people who have the right to use whatever means necessary to get their freedom and we would like of course for peaceful solution you know let's be honest a lot of times you know what state is willing to just give up their power in a in a nonviolent way just say here you know people take the power myself just very last last thirty seconds you can tell me you know we see

a lot of hip hop artists making political statements but rarely is it about something that's going on right at this moment like the war in libya why do you think that is. well i think the hip hop has been hijacked by capitalism i think that has been hijacked and turned into something that is not in fact you have a lot of oppressed people who are making songs trying to imitate your press which is ridiculous but it's a tactic that they use you know so i'm going to continue to make these songs they don't continue to put out music that speaks to our reality on the ground not fantasy but we're actually dealing with day to day and you know i think that is a movement that i think that there are or other voices like mine out there it's just that without the right forum in the plateaus russia today was the only one willing to put me on the year you know we had i'm happy that we have a really good deal my songs are out of time but thank you so much for joining us tonight thank you. are coming up next we have our fireside friday and then at the end of the week filmmakers healthy happy hour fast food chain wendy's goes to russia and it turns out when the aggression of the folks here and many of us last

week in the fields aftermath hard to stick around for the. internet only military mechanisms to deal with the country bring justice and 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. of american exceptionalism. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here's some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't. charge because of the.

let's not forget that we are in a park and i received. i think. he did well. we never got the. safe get ready for freedom. for.

them to tonight's biocide ride with your host of cops. this week we saw the idea of justice and responsibility basically come to a close when the obama administration first took over they made it very clear that they would not be pursuing any bush administration officials you know people like the president or the vice president or any bush administration lawyers for their crimes and i was crimes i mean approving and legally justifying the use of enhanced interrogation techniques on detainee it's not something that the rest of us in the real world call torture what obama's justice department did do is call in a special prosecutor john durham to carry on an investigation into cia interrogators who may have on lawfully tortured detainees in their custody and

since not all but slowly but surely the investigation has been growing bits and pieces. out the most prominent example being the destruction of cia interrogation tapes and investigation that john durham decided to drop and then this week this week we learned from attorney general eric holder that out of one hundred and one cases they would pursue criminal investigations only to two cases out of one hundred one and they haven't even released the names of these two specific cases but some out there are speculating the one is a prisoner who froze to death and a secret prison in afghanistan the other was one of the bodies that you saw soldiers posing next to you and all who create those those sounds brutal and the proof of the grave abuses that were committed in the name of america all over the world in secret installations but they're just the tip of the iceberg so if you look at the information compiled by groups like the a.c.l.u. those people who are investigating for human rights watch they've reported over one

hundred detainees have died during u.s. interrogations dozens directly because of those interrogations going too far eric holder as a side to look into two cases and how much would you like to better the chances of those actually going to court anyone actually being charged those are slim to none and then again there's a greater problem to all of this it's the fact that those at the highest levels those who make the calls for torture will never be investigated and the only ones who are pursued are low level and it doesn't mean that those on the lower levels who carried out the torture orders bear no responsibility oh no their hands have blood on them but it's the joke of a word that's become justice that really gets me these this means that according to the obama administration you know the one that was supposed to bring back the rule of law according to them this means that the book on torture has essentially been closed and nobody nobody out there is going to be held accountable and so how many times have we heard them say that they want to look forward rather than back those

are words that we've heard echoed by leon panetta and also david petraeus as they move on to their new positions in the traces words actually being sworn in as the. director of the cia he said it's time to take the rearview mirrors. you know that's the same betray us law testifying on the hill said that the cia should consider enhanced interrogations again only in special cases of those ticking time bomb scenarios and l.-i when they are right now that any chance for any legal repercussions have been squashed now about pesky law doesn't have to hang over their head who knows what will do and that my friends is a legacy that this administration is going to be known for. well tonight we have a special surprise for those of you who follow us on twitter you know that we've been holding a little contest this week all the efforts to give away our lovely new swag we've got mugs and we have a little heart keep stress balls so we asked you to tell us who you think is the biggest tool in u.s. politics and why in just one hundred forty characters so after much careful thought

and deliberation we decided on a winner and in light of hillary clinton's comments last week on the war in libya and a congressional critique where she said the bottom line is whose side are you on during a press conference later twitter contest is phil broad day who tweeted the biggest tool is hillary clinton for repurchasing bush era double speak and refuelling american warfare. two now i did an entire fireside about that last week so if you can't tell something that gets me riled up to you so nice one day i'll be in touch with how to send you your prize but everyone else thank you for your responses i really have another contest soon up so make sure you follow us on twitter to get in on the fun. ok it's friday and it's time for happy hour joining me tonight is r t correspondent

lauren lyster and libby jacobson senior policy analyst for new media strategies public affairs team ladies thank you so much for joining me thank you they were all well acquainted with those master card or is of either forgot your master card or thank you the commercials the word it's priceless but now there is a spoof on those take a look. you look people sort of original. to those. donations lost due to banking book a fifteen million. added cost to the whole show. five hundred thousand dollars. watching the world. so the world. priceless. thing. where you take a little dig at master card to get mastercard shut down any donations that are claiming that you just lost a whole lot of money with that what do you think is a priceless as we could exchange the world i think is really good execution on the

commercial i think that's a little i mean was he doing as much behind some i'm guessing it was he stars in it but. i don't know having the egypt protests and taking credit for that behind your laptop oh not so sure but it gave no i don't love it is i mean i think you've taken some pretty serious and i think it's a great powerful commercial but you know you've got to admit it's a little bit self aggrandizing a son who's under house arrest and bradley manning is still sitting in a dark cold cell somewhere saying you've got to do something live on house arrest you know about i'm snarky can we do it i want to you know that i had only the man has maybe a little bit of an ego problem this or if anybody's ever you know the fast food chain wendy's and dave thomas is the founder and the mare. when you look at the logo it's this cute little girl with pigtails and apparently it's his granddaughter but in russia you just opened a window and that's actually not the real picture because we couldn't find a good picture but. when d.n.a.

had these sexy ladies standing outside apparently the c.e.o. is kind of angry now i think we should have expected that or maybe they're just jealous that russia thought of it first we're going to russia and i mean is this the best way to get people in when you see burgers they are more expensive and. i know that all the men in our office talk about how much people like men like russia because of the women so i agree they are beautiful also why not entice people to come into your business with beautiful women standing outside they don't need wendy's that is our age you know even when doing those girls but i think that's the way they're going to get it it's going to be great probably you know you've got sexy nurse sexy police officer now you have sexy wendy who i don't think there is one because i did a google search on. didn't see too many thanks the wendy's ok next up with this guy is being called a robot we've seen a lot of politicians that give the same answer over and over and over and over again but this one is really that this is a labor leader ed miliband from the u.k. just days destruction. of the road trip get ready to go straight into

a bill and still perhaps get round to give to each table put aside the rhetoric and see the problem. is to get rather leaders as you can tell you will put aside the recruit get ready because she will put aside the rhetoric and stop this kind of action when you get strong as a rule. that was pretty bad i guess is really talking point you could remember oh yeah he our person before me was the deal did he do that on purpose was he trying to make a point politically. it was a little bit of a longer interview and so we showed you where he discovered being the same lines but it was you couldn't think of anything else to say how do people like that even get elected i mean it was literally the same talking points just rearranged and they arranged and rearranged but you. how to ask in this kind of a situation where is the interviewer and then why doesn't the interviewer say anything like you're saying the same thing that's not what i asked you i mean i would say that i was interviewing him why is it my favorite way it's about these basically just as michele bachmann or she was hypnotized. when they were and over

and over again actually that was that i missed. you're going to have to show you a clip but the thing about this is i don't know if anybody knows bill bans brother to be the foreign minister of there in the u.k. he's very popular david miliband he's a looker that's all we have to say to him is rather doesn't have his charm because he was always a very much a favorite whenever we covered congressional hearings that he was i have to say what do you think is really rationally. doesn't really do it for me before you know you know when i see him up close to it up close looks good ok this last one is pretty funny so ashton kutcher tweeted in los angeles and he said l.a.p.d. asked me to tweet four or five freeway between ten and one o one will be closed july sixteenth and seventeenth and exchange i'd like a free pass on that spot stoplight ticket it was yellow so apparently the l.a.p.d. is reaching out to celebrities like lady gaga there are some of the people who have

the most followers on twitter by the way in the world but they're asking them to tweet traffic that's kind of sad come on alone oh there we both are from l.a. anything that would clue you into what the traffic you're going to police he tweeted are driving on are not supposed to be tweeting while driving that is part of the rendering of difference between ideology and reality and there's plenty of time to check your phone or you are sitting on the floor i'm just saying i think if they're encouraging people to text and tweet and drive it's one more reason not to follow celebrities on twitter and i think it's one reason to firstly sell in the low into the fed now about if you're getting actually helpful traffic advice one good reason to follow i think people are starting to realize that you know if you want anything to get out there and anybody to pay attention to it unfortunately you have to have a celebrity there is no dice i ladies thank you so much for joining me tonight. thank you for tuning in make sure that you come back on tuesday for actually taking monday off for the fourth of july in the meantime don't forget become a fan of the lower show on facebook and the followers on twitter and if you missed any of the show or any other nights you can always catch all the you choose dot com slash ilona show coming up next is out in versus the next.
