good to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm researcher. missouri last week narrowly passed something called the right to farm bill when i heard that with no other knowledge about what it what it was or what it had to do with i thought this is something up anything that sounds as innocent as the right to farm bill is definitely involved in various nefarious chaos i knew it from my cranium down in my labor that something was amiss right in my labor has never been wrong. i mean right to a farmer who even needs a right to farm written in the law who's trying to stop family farms like a lot of people are running around angrily yanking rb i am down to the ground pulling pickles off a trees and going to how dare you you know when you're

a comic watch who have to answer to the lord. and yes i realize pickles don't grow on trees for pickles was the funniest word that could go there this right to form sounded like a solution in search of a problem like passing a right to nit law or a right to ignorance law we have plenty of knitting and ignorance in this country we don't we don't need it we don't need a lawyer to confirm it so any time i see a solution in search of a problem i suspect shady and when you're looking to buy up some shady there's one main supplier alec the american legislative exchange council they've cornered the market and sure enough alan created these right to farm bills so that no one could stop massive factory farms from doing all kinds of horribleness many people still don't know much about factory farms here's an aerial image of one of them this is a real image doesn't look like of lucent for. were to go out in like

a three day bender of coke jack daniels chili dogs and malaria and then vomit all over top middle of america that's what it is many of these farms consist of thousands of animals stacked on top of each other hardly moving eating excrement mixed with food full of more chemicals than barry bonds in his prime so he's all right to farm bills which are sold as something to help small farmers are really designed to protect massive farm corporations as they pillage the earth coating portions of the country in rivers of cow poop that make the ghostbusters two river of evil look like pasta leon's value. and i was wrong about one thing though there are indeed people yanking carrots out of the ground and going out and dare you there are called the authorities who in some areas are cracking down on small gardens or off the grid farming a few months ago michigan decided the right to farm does not apply to homeowners

who have small numbers of livestock this is an understandable decision because we can't just have legal undocumented eggs just run around rican avick we can have pickles on the lamb. and i'll be honest i just wanted to say pickles on the lamb sounds delicious but this overall seems to show yet again that corporations now own our government they have one set of laws for the way they function those laws usually say don't mess with our river of and another set of laws for individuals that say don't try to become self-sufficient don't try to be free and don't even try to get out of the way of our river of. coming to you from the headquarters of usa inc washington d.c. this is redacted tonight.

well governor jack doesn't. really camp let's take the news from behind we start with breaking news out of brazil where they are mired in a very difficult contest that seems to be tearing the country apart voting is now ongoing to crown the twenty fourteen misbah. which i'm which is exactly what you think it is now or actually we're actually not going to cover that story but is there really any difference between that and congress i mean it's a group it's a group of asses who we all enjoy watching but we know that they never talk to us. they never give a damn about anything we have to say go up to either them or congress and try expounding on your ideas about how a resource based economy would allow us to have a society that doesn't match consume itself into the ground let me know how that goes i'm moving on to real news goldman sachs analyst published

a note recently predicting the slow demise of wal-mart the analysis said wal-mart has poor online sales and that they're losing market share to smaller more convenient outlets like dollar stores dollar stores do you know how crappy your stuff has to be for customers to choose the dollar store over you dollars to sell mainly like open repurposed bags of ramen noodles stolen shampoos and extension cords it's a fully school play on you know it's on them for some reason no one no one knows why and i always assume the dollar store was a front for some kind of shady business like black market organs or something and then i realized the dollar store was the shady business it had an entire aisle devoted to black market organs i mean i wouldn't recommend them knock offs you know instead of a kidney you can buy a kid me with two easy. i'm

a lucky lucky if it lasts a week but anyway the point is walmart is suffering after successfully eating about half our country and if it continues to struggle this could be very serious we'll have to find some other place to house our sixteen year old kleptomaniacs in training off duty pimps and wife beaters both their shirts and the men moving on technology has not changed much recently as you've noticed i mean other than the variety of new ways to chop vegetables i can't really think of a single technological advancement over the past twenty years check out this video from one thousand nine hundred seventy on how to have cybersex i mean nothing has changed right it's exactly it's exactly the same all you do you just sit back in our chairs. topless with our pants pulled up to our nips cover our keyboards in plastic and settle in for old man to evening no one handed typing that's what we do by the way that film is still at the top of that actresses

i.m.d.b. . so how is technology or the lack thereof impacting the job market to get to the bottom of that we go now to correspondent sam sachs on the redacted front lines. came in the mail today it's a robot reporter yeah i mean it's sort of looks like me. i'm pretty excited what. you'll see. this month the pew research center released a study on the future showing that a majority of experts in the field believe that robotics in artificial intelligence will permeate wide segments of daily life by two thousand and twenty five with huge implications this robot takeover is already underway factories look like this now. even replacing police artists and forces now

a lot of this change has been met with ear and anxiety people are afraid they're losing their jobs but here's where i say you should look at this as an opportunity for on all new technologies displace jobs at first but also at the same time create new ones too but above all that and the reason why i've invested my entire savings into robots am. is because i want to join the leisure society experts argue that technology will free us from day to day drudgery and allow us to define our relationship with work in a more positive and socially beneficial way in other words we can just let our robots do our work for us now this has long been predicted writing in the one nine hundred thirty s. john maynard keynes argued that progress in ever increasing technology and wealth will allow all classes to enjoy a leisure society as he put it the economic problem may be solved within one

hundred years in one nine hundred sixty six time magazine predicted that in the future machines will be producing so much that everyone in the us will in fact to be independently wealthy the premise of all this is simple worker productivity increases thanks to technology that creates more profits which are then returned to workers in the form of higher wages so that eventually we people will be working fewer in fewer hours for more and more money time magazine also predicted the only real problem will be how to use all that leisure time meaningfully which i can assure you won't be a problem for mitt the associated press is using a robot known as wordsmith to produce more than four thousand robot written corporate earnings reports per quarter more than ten times the number it's human reporters currently produce now it's robots sam's turn to produce so he should be good to go just going to put them on.

ready to work ok i think i sell food truck i'm going to grab it i'll be back in like seven or eight hours. and robot sam was sent into the field reporting from the united states capitol reporting from the united states supreme court reporting from this tree reporting from the white house reporting from docs reporting from the middle of the street as everything was going great and the easier society was treating me well and then. yeah yeah what's up. no i'm not doing any work. sam is doing all my work for me of course is not asking per paycheck he's a robot redundant oh. yeah . i think i made a mistake well it is true that robots in technology have drastically increased

worker productivity in the years after time magazine predicted a coming leisure society workers' wages stayed flat that's because be any around the one nine hundred eighty s. rather than sharing all those new profits with their workers c.e.o.'s just started pocketing up and the c.e.o. to worker pay ratio exploded what time magazine and keynes didn't predict was corporate greed it doesn't always have to be this way which is why i'm here to get my job back because i think keynes was right i think robots can solve the economic question but not until we create an economic framework that spreads wealth more evenly throughout society and i think one idea could be to make sure that the workers own these new were bought a comedian's of production i think that could really work well at least until the robots become self-aware and then they start.

you doing your. job in the bank or dorsey i'm sorry i'm afraid i do that. reporting from washington d.c. with the same stars tonight. your. cadre of raw ok. oh jesus i guess we have robot sam here to chat thank you for having me on live you had a problem while i get that you're probably better at your job than regular sam i am my i.q. is a live one hundred percent greater my strength is eight hundred percent greater than my love making speed is enhanced by four hundred percent i must be the. ok i'm chill you don't have the unique. human traits that make up

a person right same sense of humor is bad dancing right all going little dance well ok here's here's an example say i'm not just walks that's a that's not bad so stop that and that's the same god watch over me like during the day just give me snacks i don't know where you get them from he just has a snack that's like things he does like that yeah yeah you can that's fine you have a girl thank you one girl but ok that's i guess. that's enough good old guys i guess. you're better than i admit you're better than sam you're better to be attempting. to. you when we're taking your. so how long till sam starves in the makeup room so we get rid of him well it takes an average human weeks but lasted ten minutes i'm all the make up i'm good now sam do what everybody.

please. i marinate join me. for kinda impartial and financial reporting commentary consume news and much much. only on bombast and on.

i would rather as questions to people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on our t.v. question for. we turn now to ferguson missouri where protesters have been clashing with heavily armed police since this past weekend when michael brown an unarmed black teenager was killed by police and the media scrutiny has indeed impacted the behavior of the police on the ground so i'd like to give this redacted trophy that's right we got

that one trophy just for serving and protecting to the ferguson police the sailors police for realizing they were they were using excessive force and changing their ways here's what they did first they created a no fly zone over ferguson to stop news helicopters from seeing what was going on ok that's good but but here it's heres video of police protecting a news crew that is setting up a live shot just feet from them no problem at all look. ok i know. i know that looks like they just tear gas as reporters bite but maybe that's not so maybe that's not going to get the reporters maybe that's just david blaine appearing in

a puff of smoke but i have magicians are known to do you can't deny it or maybe not maybe the cops then got to work tearing apart the camera equipment then we say freedom of press we meant to say press your freedom into a corner and then tear gas it. ferguson police. i stole that from novak djokovic just. just for you guys that's a third of police trophy i did throw away this week. this is a very serious situation in ferguson and step one to fixing it is to stop militarizing our police forces and stop tear gas and journalists it's what you're doing as a police officer if what you're doing as police officers looks bad when it's on the news then you're doing the wrong thing. don't tear gas to reporters ok moving on more than one third of americans are in non mortgage debt collection and only half of that is because they're still paying off the guardians of the galaxy three d.

imax tickets but it gets worse many americans are also victims of phantoms debt fake debt collectors that trick bully and confuse consumers into paying off debt they don't even know at one point even bank of america was selling debt to debt collectors that wasn't actually delinquent and people pay this debt people have so much unpaid debt that they don't even keep track of it they just i got two hundred dollars owed to sam's casino man yeah sure i've got credit and could've been a hooker could have been. could have been me having my stomach pumped on the casino floor i'd. better pay a phantom that is both the worst kind of debt and the worst kind of fantom all right i used to think meeting a phantom would be really cool but then i realized i was thinking of phantom. debt sucks too by the way at one hundred one point seven g.'s on purple it was a really rough time. but maybe the reason americans are so willing to believe this

dead is real is that we see willing to believe in any crazy stuff that comes up big . alien architect alien architect. we believe in so many aliens we've started nailing down the professions you tell someone. where ellie and anal probe nowadays and they go did you catch what they had a master's in because during my probe it was a bunch of alien dental hygienists and i think one periodontitis. we believe in bundles of wacky nonsense so phantom debt fits right in there. all right as you heard there is an immigration crisis as of late with thousands of migrant children showing up to the u.s. to escape violence and poverty in their home countries and there's been a lot of racist hatred pointed as pointed their way such as they're stealing our jobs if your job was stolen by a six year old then you need to go back to college rather than working full time i had a coloring book. they should speak the language they're six years old they're trying

i'm workin on it they're stealing our women if you're a woman who was stolen by a six year old i mean you're sure to spend more time with her rather than spending all day at the coloring book i'm however it's not just racism it's not just racism there's also some some good things there's also underground groups popping up to health these children there's a network of all types of people who have secretly begun taking in some of the children they have to keep it a secret because vigilante groups have threatened to come after them yes vigilante groups of set that people are taking care of children that's right because being moral and empathetic is now something we have to do under the cover of night i'm honestly this is not who we are americans are good people who share we maybe spend too much on clothing for our cats but it's you know it's nice clothing and the cats are called all right and we may have we may have invented fluffernutter sandwiches

but here's a thing that's that's one of those inventions that if we hadn't come up with it no one ever would dad all right much much like people say about einstein's theory of relativity you know sure sure maybe we use sonic cannons to try to find oil under the sea and those sonic can it is so powerful they're killing and deafening millions of sea animals but we're doing that for a very good reason we're. where. it's just awful. but most of us most of us are good people these young immigrants are not even given. representation to try to defend their reasons for staying in the country this means you end up with a child going up against a trained prosecutor in a courtroom which although it makes for a whole larry as movie entitled disorder in the core it starring starring david spade as the prosecutor i'm really not ethical at all and if you ask any six year old american citizen to tell you why he should remain in the country he'd probably

show you his favorite zombie action figures and then pee on something and i fear it might be the same response from the average twenty five year old these these immigrants have a right to representation or have we lost all moral compass but now finally we move on to some good news a new type of corporation is gaining in popularity this kind is not exclusively motivated by profits they're called benefit corporations or be courts and their charters call for social justice as much as profit here with the ins and outs of senior business correspondent john f. o'donnell all right. i'm so be cooks so what do you think i love them lay their brilliance and the corporation whose mission is to use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems that's cool with me baby it doesn't amazing i know man every time i think about it i just want to run out into the streets and make out with the first person i see man woman or child law ok i'm not going to recommend that but back to benefit corporations tell us

a little bit ok all normal corporations have a legal obligation to maximize profits for their shareholders even if it's directly at the expense of workers rights the environment and social justice benefit corporations have a legal obligation to create a positive impact on society and the environment so a business business be corp is to business what like fair trade is certification is to coffee i guess if you want to explain what i just said in a more concise manner using a perfect analogy that makes complete sense. like some sort of. come on why do you want t.v. here all right let's get to the point though is is anyone actually doing this be cool or yeah there's currently over a thousand certified be corpse in thirty countries across sixty industries sounds like a groundswell movement but still the majority of corporations i mean the profit whores right there vampires they'll suck it all up they can't help themselves yeah yeah yeah but once the word gets out how they're all going to shift over i think i said

it best when i said we need to be the change we want to see in the world you know i'm even saying that i was gonna you know i'm pretty sure that one was me didn't ghandi say all in all you're just another brick in the wall and i was pink floyd points of band only anyway. i've been getting the word out to the mainstream corporations i left a voicemail for jeff bezos the c.e.o. of amazon were buddies i bought a book from him and his website about the mating rituals of werewolves we've been cool ever since. and i just told him that amazon doesn't have to create a six hundred million dollar cloud computing system for the cia to help them spy anymore i'm sure he'll be answering that message soon i'm so excited for all these business is to become socially responsible it could be revolutionary only think about it apple won't have to use one child labor in china anymore walmart won't have to pay their employees so little that even if they're full time they still have to go on welfare that sounds good but are they ever actually going to do this

well now without it to be positive. other companies are on board patagonia is a certified b. corp they have a campaign urging people to consume and buy less even if their means less of their own products that's definitely different for of course there is the eye where a company warby parker for every pair of glasses they sell they give away a pair to a person in need they've given away over a mill over a million pairs also yeah listen listen the supreme court says that corporations are people if your corporation. you have to ask yourself what type of person do i want to be. to i want to be the guy who shows up to the party all strung out on oxy come on with my mushroom to bang it out of my shorts. or do i want to be the lady who shows up to the party with an appropriate to drink pre-game buzz. bearing gifts of homemade unisex jewelry for all to enjoy. the second one i

guess me to know. oh my god oh my god he has he called me back i have a message from get bey's us paramus on can i play it please tell us. hey john it's the. i still can't believe it was ritualistically think each other must be funny. anyway i decided to cancel the contract with the cia and now for every item that amazon sells i'm giving away and i'm sure the person who suffered to make it for life ya heard. because there were caring so now bangladeshi workers and me flooded with copies of fifty shades of grey and chia pets you gotta start somewhere they show no no no.
