what's happening everyone i imagine martin and this is breaking a set so remember chiquita banana was found in a right wing paramilitary death squad in colombia oh well even if you don't they were yes to the tune of one point seven million dollars see back in the ninety's the violence between the chiquita banana supported a you see that's left wing counterparts far resulted in the deaths of almost fifty thousand people mostly civilians and because of this the families of the thousands of colombians who were killed during the country's bloody civil war had sued the company trying to get accountability for their loved ones however just this week

a federal appeals court threw out the case out of the justification that the lawsuit was out of the court's jurisdiction it was a big blow to the families considering how the banana giant had previously pled guilty excuse me to criminal charges regarding the funding of the paramilitary death force having to shell out twenty seven million dollars to the d.o.j. as a result now without a legal avenue against chiquita for the families to pursue one of their last hopes as a petition the supreme court to reconsider the case interesting that the u.s. justice department gets millions of dollars from the banana monolith instead of the actual people who truly suffered as a result of the corporation's actions interesting yes surprising now let's break this. look please please. please very hard to take that leap.

you better act with the earthquake they are looking. at least a little. while the n.y.p.d. is making the headlines again this week after allegations surfaced of yet another case of police brutality the latest instance involves a police officer caught on video striking a man in the face during an arrest and putting him in a chokehold keep in mind that this report comes only days after an n.y.p.d. officer in staten island use a similar illegal chokehold on a forty three year old man named eric garner

a police report of the arrest was related to garner selling untaxed cigarettes although witnesses at the scene tested the scene the police approached gardner simply for breaking up a fight and the man recording a video of the encounter even pleaded with officers not to go after garner who was simply doing the right thing in a potentially violent situation and fortunately for garner officers did what they often do when they run into a minority they quickly moved to arrest him put him in a choke hold until he lost consciousness and eventually died in the video garner who was as magic is heard struggling to utter the words i cannot breathe as police continued to strangle him to death the worst part of all is that this happens all too often in new york. city in an almost unbelievable statistic of wall street journal reported that in two thousand and eleven the n.y.p.d. stopped more young black men in the total number of young black men in all of new york hopefully eric garners death will galvanize enough outrage to finally put an

end to this institutionalized racism so not one more new yorker has to senselessly die at the hands of the n.y.p.d. . today is day eight team of israel's operation protective edge and while the rest of the world watches in horror israel has only seemed more and bold and to continue crushing the gaza strip on the name of self-defense now a twelve hour cease fire has been announced hopefully alleviating the bloodshed temporarily however yesterday five people died in the west bank which saw its largest demonstration against israel since the one nine hundred eighty s. and in gaza at least eight hundred and seventeen palestinians are dead according to the wall street journal at the time of this broadcast eighty percent of the casualties are civilians including nearly two hundred children at least five

thousand three hundred people have been injured according to the international middle east media center as gaza's hospitals struggle to meet the increasing demand for medical care and considering how the u.s. provides more than three billion dollars in aid to israel annually many are calling on obama to use his way to end the violence in fact in the region dr volunteering throughout the crisis wrote an open letter inviting obama to spend the night in a gaza hospital saying quote just now the orchestra of the israeli war machine starts its gruesome symphony again salvos of artillery from the maybe boats just down lines on the shores a roaring f. sixteen it's sickening the drones and the clattering apaches so much made and paid in by the us i invite you to spend one night just one. it with us and shift i'm convinced one hundred percent it would change history nobody with a heart in power could ever walk away from a night here without being determined to end the slaughter of the palestinian people well after such a tragic two weeks on the ground many are left wondering what they can do to help

to discuss solutions and more i'm joined by around the collar journalist at the electronic intifada thank you so much for coming on i get most of my information from you you've been tweeting up a storm one of the best people covering this entire conflict you interviewed dr mads gilbert who wrote that open letter to obama that i just referenced who is this guy why is he in gaza and what were the most important points that he addressed to you so mads gilbert is a physician who has been in gaza every single time it's been attacked for the past like six years. and each time he's been he's seen you know the same horrors over and over again and i've spoken to him like you said repeatedly and each time is updated me it seems like the toll is getting worse and the injuries are getting worse and what he keeps telling me is that it's civilians and children and children and women and parents and families that are coming in with their bodies just torn to shreds by israeli you know high level military

technology that's being used on and you put it to me that it's being used on a naked civilian population is the way he put it. and also i mean the hospitals are stressed they already were suffering from you know severe dire sort of shortages before this latest round of this latest assault because of these each on gaza which basically seals it and you know israel a lot to go in and so now they're even more stressed they've got you know injuries that trauma one centers in the u.s. would have trouble dealing with and so you have a you know a really really difficult situation taking place on the ground there absolutely and i know that you mentioned the deliberate targeting of hospitals as well right before this broadcast that there was this fire against. twelve hours this pause however we were just talking right over the start of the there was reports of actually continuous shelling on a bunch of places including hospitals still even with this pause can we expect really anything with these pauses ron you know i mean i'm not sure there's been

a few positives so far like i think to maybe where there was supposed to be a five hour pause or two hour pause here to you know humanitarian pas to collect the wounded each time israel has continued to shell and your hospital shelling hospitals has been a big deal there's been at least twenty five at this point more because there's were reports of another hospital being shelled but at least twenty five medical facilities have been hit by israel throughout this on. several ambulance workers paramedics have been hit as well and this is routine and it's deliberate it's not by accident that's why eighty percent of the over eight hundred fifty people that have been killed have been civilians. i want to get your take on something that i found interesting of course obama in the media have been repeated often all this is justified by the continuous hamas rockets going into israel however why was netanyahu so upset the airport was closed in tel aviv i mean it there are so many rockets disrupted in israel why not to close down the airport. i think the point

is that there's not i mean you know rockets are a nuisance but it's not this threat that israel likes to make it out to be where you know the country is going to cease to exist because of these rockets and i think you know the reason he was so upset about the airport situation is because that hit israel economically which is probably the problem so it's like they want the you know that he wants both sides of it he wants to be the victim of the same time being like no it's totally safe but i think that goes back to the fact that this isn't about tunnels and rockets this is about this continuous collective punishment on gaza that's meted out every couple years intensely the way it is now but in between it's meted out with the siege. and it goes back to trying to cry. what resistance exists against israel's colonial enterprise why is this type of continuous violence intrinsic in the way israel has been formed and the way it continues to operate. the people of gaza there's one point eight million people

that are basically trapped in a ghetto. eighty percent of them are refugees that were kicked out of israel because they are the wrong ethnicity and so you know that's the case with all palestinians are outside israel they were kicked out they were ethnically cleansed and israel in order to maintain its demographically demographic majority. demographic demographically engineered majority jewish population it has to consistently launch this sort of violence against palestinians whether it's in the west bank where people have been killed in the past two days or three days for protesting against the gaza war or in gaza where it's the most intense aversion the most extreme version of what it takes to maintain this jewish colonial state in an area where the and how it ends are not majority jewish it is extreme and i think that's a really accurate way to describe this because when you're looking at the massacre it's so one sided it's almost absurd that you continue to see this in the face of

so much bloodshed and i guess i wanted to get your response of these kind of talking points the human shield talking point and also the hamas charter and i don't actually know because i don't read arabic but the translation says that israel should cease to exist. well ok so the first point with the human shields this is something that israel consistently says and i think you put it on your show a couple nights ago where you know the only evidence israel provides is these sketches. so you've got this accusation being made that i think is a very recent accusation to suggest that arabs you know arabs like to use their children as shields you know this is something that the u.s. used to state during iraq as well exactly the mythologizing a term you know exactly. and so but the point is that there is no proof that hamas is using human shields and you know one journalist after another has said i haven't seen it happen i've got an ambulance as i haven't seen how you know using store weapons in fact the only documented cases. are actually systematic cases that have

been documented by human rights organizations as israel using palestinians as human shields by putting them on the hoods of cars. or you know forcing them to go into homes to make sure there's no explosives they did they've done the same gaza they've done in the west bank so it's kind of almost like projection to be accusing palestinians of using each other as shields and to the second point you know this is the thing that people like to bring up is oh hamas wants to destroy israel but i would point out that the old the side that's being destroyed here is palestine and it's been being destroyed since one nine hundred forty eight and right now it's being destroyed as we speak in a very vicious and violent and bloody way and so i think it's more important to focus on which side has the capacity to destroy the other side is actively doing so and that's israel sort of point was let's talk about solutions or running a boycott divestment sanctions because of the b.d.s. movement why well because you know it's

a call that comes from palestinian civil society asking people of conscience around the world to boycott divest and sanction israel until it dismantled apartheid and till it gives equal rights to palestinians and so i that's why i think it's important you have it coming from the people who are suffering and so i think it's really important to you if we care about you know ending that oppression and that suffering to honor that call and also as a tactic i think it's very effective because we have a you know israel is a country that's supported by you know most western governments support israel hard core and it's very very difficult to get change from the top and so this is a way that grass roots you know it's a bottom to the top kind of movement where people in the grassroots can really you know affect change and i think if we look at you know south african model of dismantling apartheid divestment played such a huge role in doing that i think it i think we can see the same thing happen with . i mean we're seeing on campuses from one campus to the next student government

study besting there are funds from companies that prop up israeli occupation and it may be i mean it seem minor because it's not that much money but it does a lot of damage to israel's image because it brings it out in the open it exposes this racist regime for what it is absolutely and i think musicians decided not to play there all of these things coming together we're going to change this run and of course unfortunately in this country the way hamas is designated even though they are democratically elected leadership of the territory we cannot donate to palestinians on the ground because we would be perhaps indicted as as funding terrorists and i just wanted to give a little website out there islamic relief usa i r usa dot org for people who want to help out on the ground are the best organization that you can do without being you know accused of supporting terrorism unfortunate that's the situation we're in thank you so much journals with electronic intifada really appreciate your insight . coming up i'll talk about how the city of san francisco is helping out our society's most overlooked citizens state. would you like me what you.

want your comedy news to be a bear to know hold tight to the dead. like a vampire winding into the next record for the lead billionaire freaks well they're going. well that's what you get with my new project. this was in the washington well as submissive. is being suggested in the list of numbers among the many candidates for the office even more and it issues are actually back to a new doesn't do too much for ad revenue my own tech agriculture giant takes on a seventy six year old american farmer based in india fallout do you think this is going to create for the cia do you think this is what's triggering

a great america so largest economy in the world it's also the largest debtor nation in the history of the world breaking the set is mostly about alternatives to the status quo but one might give real alternatives before it's time to work towards the american dream the next they were just trying to survive it's time for americans and lawmakers are forced to wake up and start talking about the real causes problem. well it's been an extremely heavy news week with way too much tragedy to bear journalism and kidnap seven hundred people died in syria clashes iraq and afghanistan are falling apart and here in the us to traders are without a vital human right the plane that was shot down last week and that ukraine was

nothing short of a tragedy two and one day after the m.s.m. is disaster porn coverage ranging from sky news reporters digging through dead passengers luggage to neo cons calling to go to war with russia i probably gave one of the fairest statements out of any t.v. personalities see i made a call for deescalation and condemned both the u.s. and russian foreign policy for the country's respective actions in ukraine and for arming militias the calling that the us along with russia isn't useful for the mainstream media to exploit in the corporate prosumer missed my on air condemnation and its recent our team was dangerous propaganda redux the only site that did pick it up was talking point props to them for that and you know amidst all these reporters resigning in protest of networks it makes me wonder why no anchors have resigned over the m.s.m. is insanely biased coverage of gaza that's right because it would make them on some heroes for the voiceless not overnight celebrities which brings me to this coverage

we've been doing on the show after doing a series of reports about the reality of palestinians i've received thousands of messages from people all around the world thanking me for taking a stand against israel's barbarism but of course at the propaganda has a mission and full of fact i've also gotten hundreds of trolls and sock puppet accounts repeating the exact same talking points as well as talking over the reds taking over threads with generic and graphics justifying slaughter but i've already debunked every single hasbro talking point on the show so i'm not. and always anytime addressing those now you can refer to my entire body of work on israel for that so instead i'm going to goes through some of the sillier messages i've received this week someone on facebook named alpha perspective who looks like they only created an account to post on my pages took a photo shop in my space inside of a soldier on a tank not sure why because i am against the military so not really sure what that supposed to mean but all for perspective also made this you know to add the this

should i break someone else i'm tryna turn for you know her j k d treated out many rob lowe breaking the set with gusto including a little animated gif a man and i do not and from his hand shake so thanks for the good the bad the ugly and the strange thanks so much for sharing the content and for the feedback as always now let's get on with the show. on any given night in america there are upwards of six hundred thousand people without a roof over their heads and despite the hardships these people face every day there's a concerted effort by state and local officials to criminalize them simply for being home once that's from laws prohibiting everything from pan handling to sleeping in public cities across the country are criminalizing the poor and accorded the national law center on homelessness and poverty over the last three

years there's been a significant rise in these anti homeless laws legislation against bagan has shot up twenty five percent bans on camping have risen by sixteen percent and most disturbingly laws against sleeping in cars that increased one hundred and twenty percent but it's not only laws like these that hurt the homeless it's policies that make it practically impossible for anyone on the streets to find shelter policies like. most spikes being implanted on the ground to prevent people from falling asleep which are popping up in cities all over the world and in some towns the bans go as far as making it illegal for people to even help those most to me all of which perfectly exemplifies a decades long war to end poverty has turned into a war against the poor maria foscari miss sorry i got that wrong she's probably greek of the national law center as that quote it's really hard to get a job when you're homeless anyway or getting housing you have no place to bathe no

place to dress no money for transportation but then you also have an arrest record and it's even more challenging yet as this disturbing trend continues there are those leading by example on how to lend a helping hand like in san francisco california work or to the a.p. in two thousand and thirteen there were more than sixty four hundred homeless people the nonprofit group called lava may is taking a slightly different approach to address various problems the homeless face by transforming a former city bus into a shower on wheels activists have fitted the bus with two private bathrooms with clean toilets soap free towels and one thing that so many of us take for granted a nice warm shower private donations amounting to seventy five thousand dollars was all it took to transform this vehicle into a permanent service for the city available to their is poorest residents most days of the week in fact san francisco's public works department says the program has been so successful that a similar mobile shower system will be tested in other parts of the bay area where

it's most desperately needed but this amazing story just proves how we have the resources to care for one another and instead of putting our money toward death and destruction we should be making an effort to put it toward human dignity respect and life. so hopefully very soon caught our two newest addition to programming. redacted tonight or as housley can calls it comedy news for the team redacted team works all week to bring viewers their weekly dose of news for the later tryst you can watch it every friday night at eight pm right here on our teeth sort of chat about some of the stories they're covering on the show tonight i'm joined by redacted hosts i'm sorry jack and a host of the camp and political correspondent you're not you're not the host john as you want to. get out of the no i know you guys you know argument you. know you guys are both transplants from new york how the hell is the transition

been for you coming from. i want. to like you know it's hard though you know i mean sometimes i know there's cool people here and i've met some of them but every time i go out it feels like we're inundated by the soul sucking dampers people and i know it's not nice to say but i just don't know who i'm interacting with i don't know what they're about it's like oh i just met you you seem cool wait oh you're lobbying for. something i don't want to know you're pushing forward walk he'd martin's agenda i don't think so you're going to have or how does your guy feel about net neutrality you know which is we were constantly in the belly right know that i met some guy the other week and we were talking i was like i was going to kill him then i realized he was a blogger for the state department who posted the blog about our tipping dangerous propaganda and i was like oh not so cute anymore so this is true but this transplant of us to do so is being kind of like a body rejecting an organ transplant you know it's just a lot of vomiting some rash of it's nice yeah there's all types of people here but

why did so many people look like they just stepped out of a j. crew magazine right slap down some crack i'm not going to dismiss your existence for doing that but just have a little bit of sense of the looks like a white doughboys like karl rove you know karl rove just streamlining those careers you guys have also. you know isn't all summer so i love it i mean there i mean they're watching it every week laughing at it you cover a lot of the same issues that are on the show except of course make it much more enjoyable to watch almost lost a price in this one. you guys are talking about edward snowden and how more and more people in organizations are actually signing up and calling him a hero you know. they finally are which you know i feel like until recently the media has made it all about all these actor unite found out of him there's a thing for the sake of argument let's pretend he's the worst human being to ever live let's pretend he you know he makes charles manson look like tom hanks all right you know he still people french fries when they're in the bathroom just a horrible human being it wouldn't matter it doesn't matter because it's like someone telling you your house is on fire and then you turn and you go hold on

we're. not followed really us and then marching the other way it's insane exactly and it is cool that mainstream and very recognizable and respected organizations and people are coming out for him because the head of the united nations human rights commission she said that he's a human rights offender he was he was nominated for a nobel peace prize by two norwegian politicians and he got standing ovations at south by southwest and that's you thousand and fourteen. amazin so the media keeps painting this traitor you know we should all be paying attention to who snowden is and why he's such a bad person and when it's all about the leaks you know it's all about like we were talking about last night i bumped into some nice person being snowden comes up he's like i hate snowden he's a traitor you know that you know you've given us no didn't. even station the new c.n.n. crying well you know one party or the other he had to come from

a standup background and you want to actually. show i went to the audience like they're like they're going to force in the snow and just trying to figure out what was going on and it was a very. good deed. well of a hundred pound tarmac at what the hell is going on and what is this what wire misbehave to basically the b.p. oil spill is causing it like the oil is congealing with like shells and sand and becoming these massive tarmac. that are being discovered on the beaches of florida so we're literally paving the ocean now which is it's mind blowing and you think the immigration problem is bad now wait till the immigrants just run across the mexico you know once it's paved we're getting there and no wonder the marine life not doing well they haven't grown wheels yet you know to get on this it's another it's another example of now this this company b.p. did this awful thing and now they're being rewarded they just got the first license for commercial drone by the f.a.a. to kind of go any lower and go over look at the broken only in

a better record technological advancements in uncharted territory. ok this is another bizarre thing you guys rally a lot for workers' rights. and i want your take on another story related to billboards in the bay area what in the hell is going on criticizing the minimum wage increasing suggesting that service our service workers are to be replaced by i pads i can't speak but what is this about right so they do they take out these massive billboards saying if you wave raise the minimum wage you can be replaced that's first of all already happening it doesn't matter whether workers are treated right or not they're still being replaced by i pads but secondly they also did well with miley cyrus where they did not have her permission they just put it up there anyway like miley is pissed off because of because you know the minimum wage has gone up or whatever now that we have a torqued off yeah that's not an expression but that's not a. threat but so we decided all right if you can do this have nonconsensual spokespeople we created some of our own so i was one of them why is well just do

one why does john boehner put out if we go there graphic but what does john boehner have a boner because in ohio what a man does with a horse in the privacy of his own barn is no one's. brain teaser to show you guys everyone check every doctor and i thank you so much john for donald can really come on thanks anyway thanks for watching guys beautiful man what i mean learn join me next week and i break the sex all over again. on marriage in the financial world moves back to cities to coleman's cannot stop city there is only taken no demand to credit you're not going to get any economic benefit in life and they're on to their office. and.
