pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm researching. the other day i was about to buy a shirt and a friend said to me don't buy those it was made by child laborers in some foreign sweatshop and i had that moment where i tried to still justify buying it i thought demise yeah but they can't even write help me on the back he's not even trying to give me a telephone number a map so how we're going to find your little buddy. but we're such a complacent apathetic kind of people they could actually come out with those shirts and people would still be walking oh you got to help me sure that. i go there i'm hungry my shoes are made by my fingers hurt and my baseball cap is made by go yourself stupid westerners i give this hat crabs. in fact i'm pretty sure

that's where they got the name banana republic just a riddle from some kid trying to tell us where he was. but sometimes life imitates comedy and notes like that from sweatshop labor are showing up several been found prime mark stores in the u.k. and last year a k.-mart decoration was found to include a please help us note from a prison labor in china the man was imprisoned for the crime of belonging to the wrong religion and he was forced to spend every day making a half price plastic hollow skulls for lifeless suburban american kings and queens of mediocrity and despite the fact that that skull will not biodegrade ten thousand years probably choking out a dozen porpoises over that time the owners will throw it out after a single year i single evening of making six year olds mildly nervous so so then the slave labor has to make another stale and sifted declaration for next year that labor could retire. if people would just hang on to their three dollar holidays

from year to year entire civilizations worth of crap has to plastic fiestas are being tossed into the trash bin every month you know that there are thirteen year old mining precious metals in africa to make your cell phone work and they can retire to accept the planned obsolescence means they have to dig up new metal for your new phone every a month so that you can receive urgent text messages about whether betsey got a boob job and of course she did and that's ok it's hard choices her body. and slave labor is only one of the problems of these products sold in your favorite stores as you probably know a factory in bangladesh collapsed last year killing over eleven hundred employees many well known u.s. brands are still refusing to sign a state he agreement that simply insists on safe working conditions for the people being eaten alive by globalization so what's the answer i'm not trying to be a hypocrite here it's nearly impossible to find clothing made in fair conditions i

don't know what to wear anymore what are we going to wear you know that this back past week i covered myself in free range orange peels and underwear made from tofu in termites and they kicked me out of the dance club for smelling like charlie sheen on a downswing but we could begin by paying attention to the biggest brands and how they treat their workers it wouldn't take much pressure for you know to make a corporation like wal-mart realize it's of great benefit to their bottom line to sign the safety agreement and if that fails i know how to end child labor let's send some of our good old american children to the sweatshops to teach the bangladeshi children how to be lazy a holes. when the boss ability and the kids like fight me. you're not my real boss. come and do for washington d.c. this is redacted tonight.

well i'm going to jack to the no how's my. very intelligent audience doing a camp you're a host let's take the news from a high this week something important happened in florida and no it wasn't that rising sea levels from climate change circumcise the entire state. no it also wasn't that florida took that twelve hundred fifty pound b.p. oil spill tar mat found on a beach i'm not kidding and used it to create a cool ocean skatepark all that would be that would be totally radical. i can't believe we're literally paving our oceans out you know no wonder the marine life is having trouble they haven't yet grown wheels. and you think are you think our immigration problem is bad now wait until b.p.

has fully paved the gulf of mexico and immigrants are just spreading across and. i anyway those are not the important things this week a florida judge decided that marissa alexander could not use the stand your ground defense in her retrial she's the woman who could serve sixty years in prison for firing a warning shot at her physically abusive husband but apparently stand your ground still only applies to paranoid men shooting black people no one no one can be quite sure how alexander's three trial in december will turn out but it doesn't look good for there are two key points of evidence against her one she's african-american which is never good in a courtroom. in fact in our criminal justice system statistically speaking the only thing worse for a defendant than being african-american is walking in the court and peeing on the judge's bench. and the second strike against alexander is that she's a woman women have come a long way in or. contrail right they vote they can speak in public but

a way really really ready to let them stand their ground that sounds like a bridge too far it's probably a good idea to reserve the right to fire guns in a random and threatening manner for men who let's face it finally deserve a leg up. moving on a groundbreaking study out of melbourne shows that kids with gay parents are happier and healthier than kids with straight parents but that's not really fair because half of those families had no men at all and men are all right so of course kids with a dad are unhappy that's what dads do that's their job in fact in any study of anything the side that has this guy will always be the side that is less happy. that's that's how it works it might also be because gay parents tend to put a lot of thought into kids whether they want kids how many they want whereas most straight couples the planning comes down to try to have

a day longer. than stand actually. i don't have any kids what if i were an event. where you have decisions edward snowden's decision to leak thousands of classified documents angered a lot of people but now many rep a reputable people and organizations are beginning to praise his courage most recently the head of the united nations human rights commission called snowden a defender of human rights and has stated that the us should have banned in efforts to prosecute him here to explain what the future holds a senior intelligence correspondent john a phone donald. don't use my real name les come on i'm totally exposed right now snowden has inspired me i've become a leaker on your you're a whistleblower yes i've been blown is leaking all over the place and i told you not to use my real name calling about my covert leaker name being go excalibur. i'm not going to bring go wait wait oh. those cameras this is being filmed well.

of course or cameras it's a television show you're on it every week how could you not know if that way this stuff actually goes on t.v. . really i thought this was just some sort of a labyrinth therapy session you set up for yourself the triangle. where what channel are we even on to america i'm not familiar with over your life what's the latest with snowden or i would you say there's a general consensus that he's a hero you know revealing truth about the largest surveillance state in history absolutely snowden's getting all sorts of rights of support now he was nominated for the nobel peace prize by two norwegian politicians who was and he got standing ovations at both south by southwest and the two thousand and four ted talk conference i'm so jealous i can barely braid you know to be jealous. excalibur fine fine bingo pingo you understand the reason you should be jealous is because snowden has sacrificed

a lot to look the truth all right about our government's unconstitutional spying he can't come to the us without being put on trial for espionage you can spend the rest of his life in jail if you did that oh i know i get it and at the same time the director of national intelligence james clapper blatantly lied to congress about domestic surveillance and he gets to walk free i've actually got the perfect ted talk prepared for this you've got a ted talk and finally somebody is interested in it in my ted talk i would explain in detail leave the ins and outs of how to sneak into congress and slip liquified silis i've been mushrooms into their coffee cups you want to. you want to get congress to pass because once congress are dripping all their third eyes will open and they'll realize they're committing spiritual suicide by sucking on the teat of the corporations and instead they'll start actually representing the people to create a more humanistic pathetic world. noble smart articulate nuanced and lightning in saying i'm well. i'll reveal my leagues to you i get it just play it

cool. turn off the cameras you know ok so i found a report that the cia lied to the department of justice about how pervasive the use of torture was in their post nine eleven enhanced interrogation program they even took credit for extracting information by torturing detainees that in reality they got through less invasive measures now do you understand why i'm scared for my life and the second i remember that story that was that was report widely reported that's not a leak but dammit i was hoping you'd hear about that one ok ok how about this one back in the eighty's the reagan administration secretly sold weapons to iran and use that money to fund the contras the final legal war in iraq and syria iran contra affair everyone knows about that you really have your finger on the pulse don't you ok did you know that i found evidence of be hansei. own roommates those first three weeks were cover leaks for the real leak you're refutable evidence that somebody on the redacted tonight is not who they say they

are we've been compromised compromised feast your eyes on the truth. oh god what is that it's redacted that i corresponded sam sachs he's in the illuminati as i'm a hero of are exposing him that's clearly clearly been photo shopped and who else is in the picture that could open mr quinn yeah it's a crazy world man well i didn't write i did. or that's where your pajamas to work to join. i think at the moment well. this doesn't make any sense no no. we have to go to break before we do check out this advance copy of a rather interesting new advertisement. i'm clint meyers the new tech developer alec. recently alec brought me on to find. new innovative way for conservative

lawmakers around the country to more easily meet up with companies and corporations that really turn them on well i have some exciting news we here at alec have come out with a liquor a new app that uses the tender technology but applied to lawmakers and corporations here's how it works when a lawmaker opens up his liquor he can swipe through a number of corporate representative profiles each with their own photo and a list of interests here's rex from exxon mobil he likes weekend branching watching mad men and spilling oil on marine life and he's offering up a custom made legislation that allows the oil and gas companies to keep secret the chemicals they use in fracking and if a lawmaker thinks rex is his kind of man he clicks the heart if he doesn't like what he sees the clicks the x. now let's assume a lawmaker and a corporation both click hearts well that's when liquor sets up a rendezvous between the two so that they can collaborate have

a cocktail discuss campaign donations and then. over working people and the environment with the regulatory policies those doing for democracy what grindr and tender already did for dating so i ask you members of the political and business classes in america who are you waiting for check out alex new apple liquor don't you want to. over the middle class.

i think. everybody. 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 shrek albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been a high just right hand full of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers one school class i'm charging and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world if we go beyond identifying the problem trying to fix rational debate and a real discussion of critical issues facing iraq to find a job ready to join the movement then walk a little bit there. welcome

back all right. so people often ask for solutions to our broken democracy in which the candidate who spends the most on their campaign wins ninety three percent of the time in the house and eighty nine percent of the time in the senate well here's a solution i hadn't heard of until recently and let me preface this by saying i'm a big fan of paper ballots for voting because gasp there is proof that you actually vote it your vote is tangible it has actual substance rather than being like a dream of a fart or a jennifer aniston movie. and sometimes what's the difference but that being said i also accept that paper in general is going the way of say pencils or novel the stress relievers or up bubblehead doll or prop comedy.

it's simply inevitable that one day we'll switch over to our high tech democracy i imagine thirty years from now using paper for the most important decisions of our society will be like showing up to nascar with a crank engine automobile and and once we get to that point that is that people can finally vote with a push of a button from their own home without it being hacked just like we trust internet banking to take care of money online at that point we can switch to what some are calling democracy four point zero in this system we vote on a very on every important issue rather than just voting for a candidate and a certain number of people vote on an issue then the elected representative is not needed at all if not enough people vote then the representative will be the one who decides we will finally be closer to a democracy than a republic and it brings democracy to the people because when you leave important decisions in the hands of a small group of wealthy elites like we do now you end up with lockheed martin

getting billions to build bombs and bank of america getting bail outs and your evenings filled. jennifer aniston movies i'm just hoping to hell home. big of technology there's a new billboard in san francisco that threatens that workers will all be replaced by i pads if the minimum wage is increased scary argument indeed except that replacing workers with automated machines is already happening anyway whether or not workers demand fair wages will be replaced with i pads google glass self driving cars even jobs you think are secure like the clown who paints kids' faces of birthday parties he's being replaced by a face paint gun that fires rainbow colors and children you know magically terrifying manner. it's like the corporate goons are so out of touch and doing so much evil crap that they don't even know what to threaten us with anymore they're like you don't believe you better stop your bitching about minimum wage you will

worship your jobs overseas to workers we hardly pad oh we're already doing we will sell mortgages to wall street and no one will know who owns them and then we'll foreclose on your anyway we're already doing that too so do you think we're not already doing we'll take your children and turn them into zombies with manipulative advertisements and food with no nutritional value that just turns our brains in a must for the love of god in his or her head if they were not already won't give you good jobs about that i'm not doing that yet. the same group that did that awful billboard has another one consisting of an image of miley cyrus saying she's torqued off not an expression by the idea of raising the minimum wage where they purchased miley's photo but they didn't ask her for permission to do this then i had no idea that's allowed if we can do that that's amazing because i'd like to introduce you to my new line of billboards featuring nonconsensual spokespeople say we have why is selena gomez so pissed off because she hates bands on hydro fracking

and says chemicals in your water builds character. why is barbara. walters so grumpy because she just wants to attend a quality dog fight without all the legal restrictions. and why does john baner have a baby in her. because in ohio what a man does with a horse in the privacy of his own barn is no one's business but his own. now to capitol hill the central nervous system in our unique american saying by central nervous system i mean mucus filled nostril and so what's going on this month on capitol hill is there a breakthrough on immigration reform of course not clauses because they've gotten that immigration reform is agreeing to build a wall across the recently paved gulf of mexico. has a deal been reached to rebuild our collapsing infrastructure now i know they're close as they've gotten to that is a lot of two billion dollars to build a wall across the recently paved gulf of mexico but capitol hill is embroiled in

a courtroom drama that makes law and order s v you know look like judge judy and i don't know what that means either but sam sachs does and he has the story on their dac that for alliance. america is in a constitutional crisis. of the house john boehner is suing the president of the united states accusing him of abusing executive powers and one there's conflicts like this between the legislative branch administrative branch. it's. in my view our responsibility to stand up for this institution and which we serve so what is this conflict speaker boehner is referring to to find out i snuck into the house rules committee it's in charge of drafting the resolution to sue president barack

obama for lawyers were on head to advise including hot shot constitutional expert jonathan turley a fierce critic of executive power who once called for war crimes charges to be brought against the bush administration so this is pretty serious are war weary democrats like george mcgovern and louise slaughter behind this their sponsors of legislation to repeal the two thousand and one authorization for use of military force the a u.m.s. have they convince the house to take action against president obama's broad use of military force after all he's expanded the drone war without specific prior authorization from congress and in a recent senate hearing administration lawyers put forward a disturbingly broad interpretation of the president's article two war powers if the two thousand and one math was undone can the president carry out the activities that he's carrying out right now yes i believe he could we could rely on the president's inherent constitutional authority so you wouldn't. have he just has

authority to do whatever or maybe this is about something else we know that the executive branch has used the n.s.a. to spy on americans collecting massive amounts of data in direct violation of the first and fourth amendments that includes members of congress in the judiciary we here at redacted revealed the school year banana hammock photos just last week. maybe it's something completely different like representative tom cole's ongoing troubles with the presidential dog bo who only does business in the congressman's office the point is president obama is in serious trouble from day one he's faced an opposition party in congress that said its top political priority was to deny him a second term but our top political priority over the next two years should be to deny president obama a second term which they failed at but they're fairly certain they'll succeed in denying him a third term but the only question left is which issue do they sue him on the resolution that we are supposed to address here would authorize

a lawsuit that would seek relief from alleged illegal or unconstitutional conduct in quote implementation of any provision of the affordable care act wait a second the affordable care act is in obamacare this this whole thing can't be right this whole thing is this whole thing about obamacare and the show we're talking about here we're not when i was doing the president because he lied about weapons of mass destruction and brought us into a war where thousands of americans were killed and we almost bankrupted our treasury but we're focused on a narrow provision of the affordable care act you've got to be kidding me yes speaker of the house john boehner chose the president's handling of obamacare as the basis for his lawsuit specifically he's suing over the way president obama unilaterally change the employer mandate delaying its implementation by one year. or let me try to understand this. house republicans have been waiting for something to come along anything that come along that they can use to take down the obama

presidency and then the president uses an authorized military force around the world he spies on everyone and cetera but rather than using any of that stuff house republicans use the president's decision to delay implementation of a law that they never wanted implemented in the first place as ground. for the lawsuit. i get that right. and bo he's just going to continue in time calls office on top of all that the lawsuit is destined for failure. house republicans can't prove how they've been injured by the president's executive actions thus they won't have any standing in any court that's opposed to the countless number of americans who have been harmed through spying in would have standing in court if republicans decided to work with them to take on the obama presidency so this is mostly political theater and when it comes down to it a constitutional crisis is really only a crisis in so far as the two ruling parties in america disagree on it but when it

comes down to obamacare we know there's major disagreement between the two parties which is taking the form of democrats supporting delaying a provision they support and republicans opposing delaying a provision they oppose and that is what ultimately could set the constitution ablaze. or at the very least drive the news cycle for a few weeks convincing americans that the two parties are still significantly different especially when they're each supporting things that they actually oppose . washington d.c. same sax redacted tonight. this place is just full of lunatics. well as you know we're better than all other shows right aren't we audience. i'll start the show over oh well. we're better than all the shows which is why we have

headlines from the future next wednesday it will come out seventy percent of us children now want to work their way out of student loan debt when they grow up. that's exciting times also at the end of next week you'll learn this in the face first anti immigrant protesters made up mostly of undocumented ignorance. in mid august you'll read activists protest cartographic genital mutilation of florida. a little over a grocer this coming tuesday the nation will learn right wing insists stand your ground laws only apply to men and fetuses and i think we actually have an image of that let's say larry is. he has he has his mother's laserscope. and finally apparently those thrown out holiday decorations are getting a round next week from california california new favorite tiger shark clearly unaware it has hollow when mass stuck to fin and someone snapped

a photo of that one too i think. oh god that's perhaps the two most horrifying things that could ever come at you but once a shark and ronald reagan. and those are your future headlines recently we asked you to tweet with the hash tag fun with fracking and tell us how you can most have fun with the many side effects of hydro fracking the best one came from jay white's obama who said i have trouble sleeping benzene exposure from fracking can cause trans drowsiness dizziness and unconsciousness fun with fracking well done j. i usually just wrap a pot plastic bag around my head so to each his own. and that is your unredacted news this will be up any minute at youtube dot com slash r t america or on hulu or actually on hulu at redacted tonight or leak camp dod net. if you're curious about the source a lot of people like why did you get all that crazy information we you know if you care about the sources go to facebook dot com so after dad did tonight to get those

goodnight and came fighting k. by. your friend post a photo from a vacation you can't afford college different. the boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still paints tear jerking poetry keep. norris. we post only what really matters i don't t. to your facebook you speak. i'm. side. i think corp mind. can do i'm bad. at all about money and i'm actually sick for

a politician writing the last. night. just to let. today's society. fact that. everybody. 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 shred albus. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across a cynical we've been hijacked lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once built up i'm tom hartman and on this show we reveal the big picture of what act.
