hooted according to the center for biological diversity human population growth and deforestation has led to a rate of species extinction one thousand times faster than a natural rate calculated through fossil records the u.n. estimates that two hundred ccs go extinct every single day a rate unlike any other time since the dinosaurs and there's no question that humans are the main contributor to the fact mainly due to the destruction of fragile ecosystems so isn't it time that we all work on sharing this plan to get a break this up. it was a. very hard. to. get out after the break the. legal.

guys it's official hell has frozen over and i'm not buying it but because the supreme court has actually voted unanimously to. want that's right and nine to zero ruling today the high court decided that peace officers need a warrant in order to search your cell phone i know this is a pretty radical concept but apparently the warrantless searches electronic data by law enforcement was a step too far even for some of the more fascist members of this court. involved two different cases riley view california and us and the world in which to defend ins were convicted using evidence found on their phones of the time they

were arrested for going to previously the police are allowed to search bags and containers found on of arrest warrant as such prosecutors try to argue that cell phones are quote. from other objects police find when arresting a suspect stronger rulings by the court in recent memory and a sign that the justices saw the sense of humor let alone the polls the ruling opinion reads that's like saying a ride on horseback is materially indistinguishable from a flight to the moon modern cell phones as a. implicate privacy concerns far beyond those implicated by a cigarette pack ople it or curse the court even one as far as recognizing that today's cell phones are far more than just phones. while a confidential data and the fact the court is openly acknowledging that the. phones made them fundamentally different from other personal objects but could the me have a vast ramifications for mass dragnet surveillance turning to or foundation

honey who really asks the pictures reveal something limited but a thousand reveals something. when you're collecting one person's phone calls versus collecting everyone's phone calls over five years it's a question that the government needs to start answering and fast but it's not just the supreme court that's making waves with groundbreaking rulings that actually respect civil rights yesterday a federal judge in oregon ruled that the government's no fly list is unconstitutional in the current form in the ruling judge and james brown said quote international travel is not a mere convenience or luxury in this modern world and indeed for many international travel is a necessary aspect of liberty is sacred to members of a free society and for more than twenty thousand people couldn't at least five hundred americans on the no fly list they have no chance to participate in this part of a free society and once you're deemed too dangerous to fly by the government it's

extremely difficult to get off the list for the government almost never informs people but they're on the list meaning that most members find out about their. being that mix ups and mistaken identities often occur such as an eighteen month old toddler was put on the list in. two thousand and ten new york to buy a flight that was held up because a passenger was mistaken for a. furthermore the government uses the list of target subjects of criminal investigations such as just one radek a frequent guest on this show and one of edward snowden's. tourney's luckily she's since been removed or perhaps most egregiously is that the f.b.i. even uses the no fly list as a leverage to get muslims to spy on their own communities which is what happened to at least three americans according to an a.c.l.u. report from last year and considering that according to a government accountability report the number of people on the no fly list has doubled since two thousand and nine these types of tactics and mistakes are

becoming more and more pervasive so big props of the court system today for filling it's all the geisha as the last bastion of justice for the american people sort of doing what they normally do siding with giant corporations here's hoping we see a lot more of this in the days ahead and. everyone knows that in the u.s. money people's political influence was largely kept secret other clandestine dealings that take place between our so-called democratically elected representatives and the billionaires that fund their campaigns and just this week a grand manifestation of these backdoor dealing with the house of representatives passed a bill that pans billionaires like charles and david koch a big win yes the bill a place crippling restrictions on the commodity futures trading commission or c f t c the government agency in place to regulate the futures trading industry

translation even more deregulation of the financial sector that really matters considering how the c f.t.c. is corrupt enough on its own earlier this year obama pointed to former imaginary managing director of j.p. morgan to the commission although she was forced to resign after is revealed the f.b.i. was investigating the bank for its deals under her watch the side a revolving door is nothing new and the koch brothers have mastered manipulation of the system and factories business moguls strategize by propping up think tanks and front groups to promote their deregulatory. genda across the country which brings me to the latest summit that took place a few weeks ago to crack the case on the coax lauren windsor executive producer of the undercurrent on the young turks network when an exclusive inside source of the secretive summit warned thanks for coming on so where was the summit held and who was in attendance so this is the dana point resort st regis monarch bay in orange

county california so this is not exactly a bastion of you know democratic ideals that is very republican very big money and the people that were in attendance of note would be people like mitch mcconnell marco rubio jim jordan cory gardner tom cotton all people that are running rubio potentially for president twenty six feet and why really quickly why should people care about the koch brothers or any of these guys gathering together. people should care because i mean this is a transparent you have millions of dollars. funneled into our electoral system that you know we're not sure as to what their interests are at the end of the day this isn't transparent so when you have elected officials that are beholden to the corporate masters that should be very problematic to citizens at large and what's amazing is even though they don't allow cell phones in there and they're trying to be all over secretive you had a source on the inside you actually got a copy of this agenda let's talk about what it was so.

it comforts took place over two days and so in the agenda there's various strategy discussions featuring coke political operatives so one of the major ones was energy changing the narrative so presumably change the narrative to one of energy independence rather than climate change mitch mcconnell talking about free speech in this context free speech is about the freedom to spend money in our electoral system so not you know what i think the average. free speech that's insane so changing the never heard of a wave from a wave in climate change and we're not even hearing anyone really tackled that seriously and more toward energy independence is incredible because of course they're trying to masterfully manipulate this by saying what you're saying earlier which is like what you know we need to we need to have our oil here we decided getting foreign oil it sounds you know like something anybody would say yes you know you're going to get it and i don't want to depend on foreign oil but this

wasn't led by scientists it's gushing this discussion was led by coke messaging operatives. yes exactly pretty disturbing what are some other specific issues that the koch brothers are really focused on combating here so health care is a major issue for them always. they had a discussion from c.v.a. which is concerned veterans for america that ties into their health care strategy because they see concerned veterans at america playing a role in exposing government run health care you know the problems at the v.a. so they kind of prop up these groups and funding them and they appear like really really professional groups that are pretty much astroturf and then as soon as a political crisis or up on the hill they kind of swing in with their p.r. campaign and use it and force their stuff exactly you know they're exposing these

problems at the v.a. but these problems have been in existence for a long time and what you see time and time again is republicans undermining these agencies in order to create a crisis so. you write the article that part of the mission was to quote raise five hundred million dollars to take the senate into the two thousand and fourteen midterms and another five hundred million dollars to ensure that hillary clinton isn't president i want to ask you two questions why are the midterms so important for them and also why do you think that is regarding hillary because as secretary of state she didn't deploy oppose big business at all and for. she's probably going to pass through the keystone x.l. . to get the president in terms of the midterms there's several major pieces of legislation that have really been put on the back burner until after the midterms keystone being a major one immigration reform. if obama made any significant moves it. none of that will it with his carbon initiatives all these things are going to be undercut if they sin it is retaken by the republicans so you know whether it and

other issue would be the t.p. the trans-pacific partnership so all of these three things have been sidelined for now if republicans take over the senate all of those things will probably be passed easily. the co wired into the coopers are so adamant about unseating democrats and keeping the republicans in because obama disappointed the former j.p. morgan managing director of the government agency tasked with monitoring treat it just seems like democrats are part of the problem but you might think so but. it's not to the same degree as the republican party so when we talk about corporate interests. i assure you that republicans and the coax are for deregulation much more than democrats and obama well there are certainly you know when people ask me who you know what are your color george soros and stuff i'm always just like i don't really see anyone on the level of the koch brothers on the

left and of course i don't really know of anyone who is like a massively influence in elections in this way to coax like to point fingers back at. the environmentalist billionaire that's committed to putting one hundred million dollars into environmental initiatives at the difference between as tom styer and the koch brothers are that he's not you know backing up huge corporate interests in getting this legislation to do this and of course they're you know they're back behind now looking a lot of other dangerous thing thanks here lauren windsor thank you so much for. and a lot more to come from you appreciate it coming up we'll go over why cigarettes are more the good day than they were fifty years ago we want to set. the interview. a little.

leg. length. lens . lisa tried to clear. the way pulling out of your name and i want to thank you. for the short changing every minute of the length of time a nola the web. of my a lot like the length. of the thing to

say selenski says the most elite moments lead sometimes from nothing which lead to some event and it's a moment to look just keep up the story you'll be just getting to you see the stage eight will be a little but the speech was the lead. in the lead. on marriage in the financial world moves. back to serious developments coming out stopping city very slowly taking on the demand for credit not going to get any economic benefit in life there are blues and there are a lot. but it seems that the european dream that this is going to be offered to the ukrainians on friday isn't so inspiring for the europeans themselves how do you

explain that how the rise in the euro skepticism yes we are going so on about this this summit and stuff are much more about you are skeptics what see these systems they are against gays what is the system today this is so many different circumstances. younger viewers of the show probably don't remember the days of t.v. commercials for cigarettes the better part of the twentieth century tobacco advertising was a pretty big deal but the jury out on the long term effects of smoking cigarette companies could get away with just about anything to sell you

a pack of smokes. in every state of the union doctors in every branch of medicine were asked what cigarettes you smoke and this nationwide survey of general practitioners surgeons throat specialist diagnosticians i'm so on a brand name most. yes according to this survey more doctors camels than any other cigarette try camels yourself. yes the good old times when cigarettes were also a symbol of social status and that's a patient in fact women started smoking only after ads started targeting them with the phrase tortures of freedom really an exploitation of the women's liberation movement and all the days of cigarette ads indorsed by doctors are gone the center for disease control estimates that well over forty two million people in the u.s. are smokers of the four hundred. thousand will die this year as a direct result of an ailing tobacco smoke so why is it that today fifty years

after the us surgeon general's announcement that cigarettes do indeed kill you so many people keep smoking them well a recent report by the campaign for tobacco free kids exposes how cigarette companies have managed to stay relevant to spite the efforts to curb back smoking revealing that today's cigarettes are quite different than they were fifty years ago not only into today's smoke contain more nicotine the chemical that makes them addictive in the first place but they also hold enhanced chemical additives that increase the speed at which nicotine reaches the brain as well as a variety of flavors that mask the effects of smoking often appeal to younger users so joining me now to go over how the fight against big tobacco has evolved over the last fifty years and where it stands today i'm joined by jon stewart director of the challenge a big tobacco corporate accountability international thank you so much for coming on john thank you so before you get to talk about the campaign i thought the market was supposed to make corporations accountable i'm going to talk about why your organization is necessary and kind of what successes you guys have had over the

years well we are a member powered organization that works to protect human rights the environment public health from corporate abuse and we were founded in one nine hundred seventy seven we have an enormous impact and that's proven by our successful track record of securing lifesaving victories in the face of enormous and overwhelming power money and influence we got our start in the weight seventy's challenging nestle's appalling mark practice of marketing infant formula to mothers who didn't have access to safe drinking water or couldn't afford enough infant formula to feed their infants and it was resulting in more than an infant in a million infant deaths per year so our organization organized the first ever successful international consumer boycott of a transnational corporation that's the scope of the impact of american innovation stripes this fantastic new start of the. tobacco campaign back in ninety four how has big tobacco change and cigarettes themselves changed in the last two decades

well. big tobacco has pioneered all sorts of tactics that amount to corporate interference tobacco remains unfortunately the largest preventable cause of death and disease on the planet kills more people than aids malaria tuberculosis combined and that's why our we're going to station advocated for a secure of the world's first global public health treaty on tobacco so in some senses we are making credible strides that treaty has been ratified by one hundred seventy eight countries as one of the most widely embraced treaties and human history and protects almost ninety percent of the world's population it actually has saved hundreds of millions of lives if it's implemented why is the us one of the shrinking you know part of the shrinking minority that hasn't signed on yet and ratified i would say the primary reason is that big tobacco was born here and during the treaty negotiations the u.s. was an extremely expensive struck to even try to water down the treaty to its lowest common denominator during the treaty negotiations we released

a report called cowboy diplomacy that showed how the u.s. has a history of signing on to treaties just so that they can water them down and then never ratifying and that's exactly what's happened with the tobacco treaty and you have a there's a meeting coming up in moscow to kind of go over this what's going to be taking place there yeah it's one of the most important treaty meetings yet it's called cop six and it's basically the place where all of the parties to the treaty come together and talk about how implementation is going what are the barriers to implementation and how can we have dance between life saving measures would you say i mean based on what i outlined in the intro would you say that cigarettes are actually more deadly than they used to be because of all these additives that are constantly being added in many ways yes but the most important thing is that the tobacco industry has been adept at securing. they use market pioneering tactics like using candy flavorings like bubble gum and what corish to appeal to kids

advertising promotion and sponsorship using celebrities and sex and freedom rebellion to appeal to young people and that's what's been most successful it. addicting right and one thousand nine hundred the tobacco industry was lobbying well over seventy million dollars annually into congress now it is very well under ten and of course it's not very politically popular to appeal to something that kills people to your constituent base right so yeah explain more about how they're going to brief strategizing big tobacco to market today you specifically well our campaign in the ninety's we ran a corporate campaign sen joe camel packing give the marble man the boot that forced big tobacco to stop marketing to kids here in the u.s. so what they did was they spun off their corporation it's now based in switzerland the largest private we. have publicly traded corporation philip morris international is now based in switzerland operates in more than one hundred eighty countries they exported all of the tactics that they use to addict kids to the

global south right we're looking at some of these ads right now just really disturbing kind of c.n.n. on you know your rebellious look at this that maybe campaign and you guys you guys have called out why target philip morris specifically like i said philip morris international is the largest publicly traded tobacco corporation in the world to sell or from our bros which is the most popular cigarette brand quote boy in the b.m.r. broke campaign is the resurrection of the marlboro man updated for the twenty first century and exported to the global south and it's having devastating results on kids around the world what ways has the has the tobacco industry used trade negotiations to rollback policy well we were successful in relegating the tobacco industry out of the public health arena there is a specific provision of the treaty that keeps big tobacco. out of public health policy making altogether which is incredible milestone not only for public health but for corporate accountability so now that they're relegated to the trade arena

they have exploited trade and investment agreements like the current transpacific partnership in order to undermine the effective implementation of the treaty it's very disturbing so they're involved in the partnership as well as in corporate advisers on the board that's just. another side of this tragedy this is something that i didn't even realize today until today rather where the tobacco is being farmed and what is happening kids whose farming it i had no idea this is happening right here in the u s john kids as young as ten years old working all day on these farms getting a horribly sick from nicotine poisoning to talk more about the farms and why this is happening here you know unfortunately tobacco farming is one of those. jobs where people use child labor and this is mostly due to big tobacco control and we've put prices globally in forcing farmers especially in continents like africa

into unfair contracts and that enters them into cycles of poverty and debt and forces their children out into the fields that worst part is that big tobacco has exploited the part of the plight of farmers in order to advance its deadly agenda through front groups like the international tobacco growers association and what does that group do and how does it exploit the farmers big tobacco knew that its image was tarnished in the eighty's so they created this front group called the international tobacco growers association to act as a front for advancing its interests in oppose lifesaving tobacco control measures like those and trying to mimic global tobacco treaty. as we call it is the most vocal opponent of the global tobacco treaty worldwide and will likely be very active in the tree meetings in october i can help discuss the new fad sweeping the planet and i'm guilty as well it john. cigarettes electronic cigarettes i mean what do we know about them because there is not a lot out there here's what you should know cigarettes equal big tobacco big

tobacco has bought up almost all of the major east cigarette brands and they are using the exact same type tactics to shore up the youth market that big tobacco did decades ago whether it's celebrity sponsor sponsorship selling sex freedom independence and rebellion in the same way that big tobacco did in the fifty's and sixty's the worst part is that they are absolutely no federal regulations on easter and it's and it is a wild wild wild wild west out there with no sheriff in town they're doing everything from using flavorings to marketing to appeal to kids well it's unbelievable there was no age restriction before i mean not that's insane but i would think that big tobacco would be slightly threatened i mean talk more about how they're intertwined the sectors because i know that already electronic cigarettes are running state tobacco bottoms it's an easy way for them to say that they're part of the solution they call it their harm reduction strategy and internal documents show us that harm reduction just means staving off criticism for

decades to come so it's no surprise to us who've been monitoring the tobacco industry for decades that they're getting in to the cigarette market pretty aggressively and i guess lastly how can people help with this campaign because where can people go if they want to stop smoking what's the best resource for them well if you want to stop smoking you should go to the c.d.c. there's the station hotlines and all over the place but if you want to participate in our campaign advocate for tobacco control policies that save lives go to www dot stop corporate abuse dot org your organization is incredible you guys are doing great work on the ground good luck in moscow thanks so much for coming on don't stew or prevent you. that's our show you guys join me again tomorrow when i bring the stuff all over again. played right on the same place. the first street.
