we travel in search of a song. we. cover. his name was joseph good because he was nazi germany's minister of propaganda the midst that he created exists to this day. he was the group's propaganda was actually trying to denigrate other nations while at the same time raising ordinary german self-esteem to. keep its use of goebbels new precisely what the masses need to hear in order to make them follow him he was like the paper from the fairy tale that made grant's fall to the tune of his plight. the myths created by the chief nazi ideologist bound for thomas saw in the west we have to fight these myths today in memory of those who walk in the second world war.

i know c.n.n. the amazon b c news have taken some slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's closer to the truth and might think. it's because one whole attention and the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on your good company. and our teen years we have a different pretty. good though because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not how. you guys talk to the jokes i will hand over the stuff that i've got.

what's up you know i'm out here martin and this is a break in the set did you know that there's an estimated eight point seven million different species on earth give or take a million in fact there are so many varieties that scientists believe that most all existing species have yet to be catalogued by science so is it any wonder that every year biologist catalog thousands of new creatures according to world wildlife fund between two thousand and twelve and two thousand and thirteen there were three hundred sixty seven new species found in southeast asia alone among the discoveries a large green frog able to glide from tree to tree over fifty feet at a time a rare tailor bird found only in the mountains of cambodia a blind spider that's evolved to thrive in complete darkness and a giant laotian flying squirrel it's important to bring attention to these new

findings because it encourages environmental preservation which helps protect the species from the loss of habitat an issue that's never been more pressing than today as a landmark study recently concluded according to center for biological diversity human population growth and deforestation has led to a rate of species extinction one thousand times faster than the natural rate calculated through fossil records the u.n. estimates that two hundred species 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 planet together now let's break this up. they are very hard to take a. look. at or act like that hurt

their little. league. well guys it's official hell has frozen over and no not because of climate change but because the supreme court has actually voted unanimously to uphold the constitution but i want that's right a nine to zero ruling today the high court decided that police officers need a warrant in order to search your cell phone i know this is

a pretty radical concept but apparently the warrantless search of electronic data by law enforcement was a step too far even for some of the more fascist members of this court scalia and thomas the ruling and evolves to different cases wryly view california and us in the world are you and which two defendants were convicted using evidence found on their phones at the time they were arrested to the court to rule previously the police are allowed to search bags and containers found on arrestees body without a warrant as such prosecutors try to argue that cell phones are quote materially indistinguishable from other objects police find when arresting a suspect but in one of the strongest awarded rulings by the court in recent memory and a sign that the justices might still have a sense of humor level in the polls the ruling opinion reads that's. saying a ride on horseback is materially indistinguishable from a flight to the moon modern cell phones as a category implicate privacy concerns far beyond those implicated by a cigarette pack

a wallet or purse the court even went as far as recognizing that today's cell phones are far more than just phones but in fact many computers that can store a wealth of confidential data and the fact the court is openly acknowledging that the amount of private data stored on our phones makes them fundamentally different from other personal objects but it could potentially excuse me have a vast ramifications for mass dragnet surveillance a staff attorney for the electronic frontier foundation honey who really asks the court recognizes that two pictures reveal something limited but a thousand reveals something different does it mean something different 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 its current form and the ruling judge anna j.

brown said quote international travel is not a mere convenience or luxury in this modern world indeed for many international travel is a necessary aspect of liberties secret to members of a free society and for more than twenty thousand people putting 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 extremely difficult to get off the list for one the government almost never informs people but they're on the list meaning that most members find out about their inclusion of the airport this means that mix ups and mistaken identities often occur such as an eighteen month old toddler was put on the list in two thousand and twelve or two thousand and ten new york to buy a flight that was held up because a passenger was mistaken. for a no fly member 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 attorneys 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 equals 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 in a grand manifestation of these backdoor dealings the house of representatives passed a bill that hands 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 maddening 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 cyber. evolving door is nothing new in 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 agenda across the country which brings me to their

latest summit that took place a few weeks ago cracked the case on the coke floor in windsor executive producer of the undercurrent on the young turks network when an exclusive inside source of the secret of summit warren 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 and cory gardner tom cotton all people that are running. potentially for president in sixty 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 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 on the agenda. 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 american would deem free speech

that's insane so changing the never heard of a what are you from away from 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 we 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 have it in your opinion that i want to depend on foreign oil but this wasn't led by scientists it's gushing this discussion was led by koch messaging operatives. 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 concern 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 are 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 when you see time and time again as republicans undermining these agencies in order to create a crisis so. you write an 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 is . president i wanted 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 in fact she's probably going to

pass 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 the senate is retaken by the republicans so you know whether it's another 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's certainly you know when people ask me who you know why don't you ever call it 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. he's not you know backing up huge corporate interests in writing 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

coming on a lot more to come from you appreciate it coming up we'll go over why cigarettes are more dick to day than they were fifty years ago you'd want to said. i marinate join me. in that impartial and financial commentary interviews and much much. only on the bus and only. the conflict. over. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy albus. role. in

fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across a cynical we've been a hydrogen lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once it's all just i'm sorry mark and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem trucks rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america five different ready to join the movement then walk a little bit of. drama as they're trying to be ignored to. stories others refuse to notice. the faces change the world writes never.

filled picture of today's you know i've known to run from roads to blow. up to. younger viewers of the show probably don't remember the days of t.v. commercials for cigarettes for 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 about cigarette use. in this nationwide survey of general practitioners surgeons throat specialist diagnosticians i'm so on

a brand name most rise yes so according to this survey more doctors camels than any other cigarette tried camels yourself. yes the good old times when cigarettes were also a symbol of social status and mancipation 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 us are smokers of the four hundred eighty 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 all the 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 in today's smoke contain more nicotine a 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 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. talk about why your organization is necessary and kind of what successes you guys have had over the years well we all remember powered organisation 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 seventies 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 million infant deaths per year so our organization organized the first ever successful international consumer boycott of a transnational corporation that's been the scope of the impact of american innovation stripes this fantastic and you started the campaign back in ninety four how has big tobacco change and cigarettes themselves changed in the last two decades well not. 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 and secure 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 imbrie. new in 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 that the primary reason is that big tobacco was born here and during the treaty negotiations the us 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 us 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 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 the youth market pioneering tactics like using candy flavorings like bubble gum and licorice 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 to the use. it was difficult well our campaign in the ninety's we ran a corporate campaign sent 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 it's 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 and kind of seizing in on you know your rebellious look at this that maybe campaign you guys you guys and called out why you target phillip 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 whoa boy in the beam are 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 were 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 what's disturbing. 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 us john. kids as young as ten years old working all day on these farms getting the horribly sick from nicotine poisoning to talk more about the farms and why this is happening here 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 the worst part is that big tobacco has exploited the part 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 is 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 in trying to the 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 of the cigarettes electronic cigarettes i mean what do we know about because there's 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 there are absolutely no federal regulations on. and it is a wild wild wild wild west out there and with no sheriff in town they're doing every . thing 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 guess 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 with the 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 you know 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 debbie debbie w 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 gun store appreciate you. that's our show you guys join me again tomorrow when i bring the stuff all over again. to the. city the building. has to be twenty. degrees with some tokomaru still sells from st petersburg to from the trouble in

search of the sun. the future. his name was joseph he was nazi germany's minister of propaganda the myths that he created exist to this day. it was the group propaganda was actually trying to denigrate other nations while at the same time raising ordinary german soldier students who would. keep its complete use of go bill sniff precisely what the masses needed to hear in order to make them follow him he was like the kite paper from the fairy tale that made the rats fall though that you know despite. the myths created by the chief nazi ideologist bound for towns saw in the west we have to fight these myths today in memory of those who won in the second world war.
