your friend posts a photo from a vacation you can't afford. and different. the boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still tends to rejection poetry keep tabs ignore it. we post only what really matters. to your facebook news feed. 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 sweat shop and i had that moment when i tried to still justify buying it i thought to myself yeah but that kid didn't even write help me on the back he's not even try and give me a telephone number a map so good how we're going to find you a little buddy. but we're such
11:30 pm
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 shot that. i go there i'm hungry my shoes are made by my fingers hurt and my baseball cap is made by stupid westerners i give the sack 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 of 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 for like ten

thousand years probably choking out a dozen porpoises over that time the owners will throw it out after a single use a single evening of making six year olds mildly nervous so so then the slave labor has to make another stale incipit declaration for next year that labor could retire if people would just hang on to their three dollar holidays from year to year entire civilization's worth of crap has to plastic fiestas are being tossed into the trash bin every month you know that there are thirty. 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
11:32 pm
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 safety 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 other past week i cover myself and for you arrange orange peels and underwear made from tofu in termites and they kick me out of the dance call 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
11:33 pm
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. welcome redacted and i have my. very intelligent audience filling in on lee camp your host let's take the news from behind 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.
11:34 pm
oil spill tar mat found on a beach i'm not kidding and use it to create a cool ocean skatepark call that would be that would be totally radical. i can't believe we're literally paving our oceans now you know no wonder the marine life is having trouble they haven't yet grown wheels. and 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 it. 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 street trial in december will turn out but it doesn't look good for their two key points of evidence against her one she's african-american which
11:35 pm
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 into court and peeing on the judge's bench. and the second strike against alexander is that she's a woman women come a long way in our country all right they votes they can speak in public but we really really ready to let them stand their ground that sounds like a bridge too far. 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. and 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 and that's their job in fact in any study of
11:36 pm
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 stan 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 u.s. should have banned in efforts to prosecute him here to explain what the future holds a senior intelligence correspondent john a photo donald. don't use my real name les come
11:37 pm
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 in 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 the film it's well. of course there are 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. . he. really thought this was just some sort of a elaborate therapy session you set up for yourself to try. which channel or 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 and now he was
11:38 pm
nominated for the nobel peace prize by two norwegian politicians who was it and he got standing ovations at both south by southwest and it's two thousand and four ted talk conference i'm so jealous i can barely braid you know to be jealous. excalibur find five bingo bingo 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 could spend hours 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 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
11:39 pm
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. that's a lovely it's also insane i agree i agree insightful noble smart articulate nuanced and lightning in saying what. i'll reveal my legs do you get it just play it cool. turn off the cameras 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
11:40 pm
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. all 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 really compromised and feast your eyes on the truth. ah what is that it's redacted that i correspondent sam sacks he's in the illuminati as i'm a hair over exposing it that's clearly clearly been photo shopped and who else is in the picture that could open mr clear yes 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 as well as one of them well
11:41 pm
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 a 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 likes weekend bunching watching mad
11:42 pm
men and spilling oil on marine life and he's offering up custom made legislation that allows 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 now let's assume a lawmaker and a corporation both click hearts well that's when the 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.
11:43 pm
i would bet that in. a society that case i think corporation kind of can. can do. bad. all about money and other families that are politicians writing the laws and regulations tax breaks. out. there just to lead is it a dying. out. this was in the
11:44 pm
washington well as submissive. is being suggested in the list of numbers among the many candidates for the prophecy of current issues actually back to a new doesn't do too much for ad revenue my own tech agriculture giant teeth 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 race america's the largest economy in the world it's also the largest debtor nation in the history of the world breaking the set is mostly of alternatives to the status quo but one might give real alternatives points on the working poor 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 problems for.
11:45 pm
welcome back. 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 voted 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 novelties stress relievers possible head dogs or prop comedy. it's simply inevitable that one day we'll switch over to our high tech democracy i
11:46 pm
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 once we get to that point 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 it was 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 bailouts and your. evening filled with jennifer aniston movies i'm just talked me into hello home.
11:47 pm
speaking 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 and the way 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 been 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 good we will sell mortgages to wall street and no one will know who owns them and then we'll
11:48 pm
foreclose on yeah anyway we're already doing that too if it's anything 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 would 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. why is barbara walters so
11:49 pm
grumpy because she just wants to attend a quality dog fight without all the legal restrictions. and why does john boehner 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're gonna do 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 u look like judge judy and i don't
11:50 pm
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 if years critic of executive power who once called for war crimes
11:51 pm
charges to be brought against the bush administration so this is pretty serious our 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 we could rely on the president's inherent constitutional authority so you wouldn't. 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
11:52 pm
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 coles' 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 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. 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
11:53 pm
a second the affordable care act isn't obamacare. this this whole thing can't be where this whole thing is this whole thing about obamacare and the shit we're talking about here we're not we're not just 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 ok so 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
11:54 pm
house republicans use the president's decision to delay implementation of a law that they never wanted implemented in the first place as grounds for the lawsuit. and bo he's just going to continue in tom 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
11:55 pm
a provision they support and republicans opposing delaying a provision in the. 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. sam sachs 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.
11:56 pm
it'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 grosser this coming tuesday the nation will learn right wing insist stand your ground laws only apply to men and fetuses and i think we actually have an image of that let's say there he is. i'm here as he has his mother's laserscope. and finally apparently those thrown out holiday decorations are getting around next week from california california new favorite tiger shark clearly unaware it has hollow we 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 at once
11:57 pm
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 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 that's redacted tonight to get those goodnight and came fighting cave by.
