and in the end you could never hear all. the celebs parking all the world's a stage all the world's a stage all the world's a stage and we are definitely a player led. earlier today president obama said her mother told him. responsible wasting. time speaking it's always good examples to eat or to hear something else to be in the us. to do so since then has used the excuse i really thought this story goes it's gone real. thought i . didn't mean all right tonight

i'm talking about trump selling off the country and i know that's no surprise you're probably like yeah that's what he does it's course are you also surprised when a tiger taws your face. or when dennis rodman hangs out with a chubby asian dictator that because that's what they do that's their thing so let's get into it trump's very excited for his new infrastructure projects he's already bragging during speeches if speech is what we're now calling it when like for single syllable words in a row dribble out of his mouth. and on the internal hiding behind the podium in order to refill him with a finger full of liver pâté. i'm also very proud to say that the dakota access pipeline is now officially open for business it was dead one hundred twenty days ago and now it officially just opened for business and but open for business he

means that he's sleeping oil into the water and the land. the kid has to get the league still leagues go in early you want to you want to show the wildlife who's boss you do. no but listen fellows be various fish what have you we're going to be pissin toxic fluid all over the place all right john i don't want to hear a peep out of yeah you just. got in the way ok. but that's not the only thing trump is not telling you one of trump's key advisors is wall street titan stephen schwarzman who happens to be the c.e.o. of blackstone you may not know anything about blackstone but you can tell it sounds ominous anyway right it doesn't like the name the name feels like when i was eight years old and first heard guns n roses welcome to the jungle i didn't know who the singer was singing was or why he so desperately wanted me to believe but. i could just tell something was not good you know something's off about this fella

blackstone is the private equity version of that and. they just really want america to believe that. this private equity giant with donald trump's help is buying up the u.s. infrastructure while our mainstream media and the democratic party freak out over mccarthyism two point zero other nations and corporations are taking over our country but they're not doing it with spies or voting machines they're doing it by simply buying up. are. like. the emperor's drugs or the laws in the resources the burger kings in the breweries the cheesecake factories and the factories where they make the cheesecake factory cheesecakes. the bottle we are a country up for sale then you know why you gotta admire these alright because this is you know they this is what america has always been about we were founded by

people buying and selling human beings while searching for gold to buy and sell now we've just switched from gold to fidget spinners and. see only different the cold cruel soul of our country rags on the premise that everything is for sale and right now it's like we're our house and thieves are just selling off pieces and just telling us it's fine as it is cause cause they just go off and. there was no toilet pain in the sank. they took to saying get your honey on the brain in the hole in the sink years to day. and brad you're thinking well at least blackstone is based in the us so at least we're in ourselves over you know if if we're going down we're bringing us with us. well you're somewhat right but you're

mostly wrong and also shut up in fact in fact the saudi public investment fund just announced a twenty billion dollars investment with blackstone and all told the war chest to purchase u.s. infrastructure comes to forty billion dollars as mentioned blackstone c.e.o. stephen schwarzman is one of trump's key advisors which you've got to give him some credit for that that's a campaign easy job it sounds like to be in the lead math tutor for like a wealthy donkey. a good dog. a donkey that will fire you at any moment because he'd like has gas or something. but there's more trump son in law and trusted advisor jerry kush or has a long history with blackstone in fact they're one of the largest lenders to him with over four hundred million dollars of financing which we all could have known if we had just looked at the sponsor label on coasters jacket i mean right right

there. but does this really count as corruption or is this just business as usual or a usual run tanser that let's check with jeff hauser director of the revolving door project donald trump brokering a deal between saudi royalty and private equity magnates associated with both the republican and democratic party is about as much corruption and self dealing as can be squeezed into a single sentence let's just hope one day and he sends involving trump and cushier includes the phrase fifteen to life. sometimes i got a story that read me in that way. but here's the silver lining with trump's new infrastructure i'm sure the revolving door is going to be bright shiny you know they're going to be a oh my god i'm going to be like a bastard of all the you know just faster than ever just pumping people through

their advisers lobbyist generals his daughter has gone along to build build build build it'll be good to go to a festive tunnel to the center of the earth to be awesome. of course rome wasn't built in a day and america won't be sold off in a week the blackstone deal is just one step in the american fire sale here's another quick example in two thousand and ten obvious dobby's bought up the parking meters in chicago for seventy five years and the first thing they did it was raise the cost of parking a ridiculous amount because aboud dobby doesn't care about the people of chicago. they just picture the aboud dobby investment authority board sitting around and going. but what about like the poor single mother in chicago who has a large drop or kids a daycare and doesn't have eight dollars like her hourly pay for a fifteen minute parking spot. what was she going to do. so the entire point.

was i a one man show. the entire point of a national infrastructure was initially for the common good for the common good like would like road for everyone to use water for everyone to drink jungle gyms for everyone to the point on when you're eighteen and it's midnight and you and your friends are. we've lost that promise of a country for all our citizens the corporations that own the levers of our state use them to squeeze every last dime out of us can you feel it can you feel the squeeze like a politician around your body. and then and then we all still try and go through our jobs every day like i already know. how do ok. and then the mainstream media president trump tell us that it's just. good but we don't have

a great system great new system the top of the line it'll be the best in the world no abouta auburn will have a great system saudi arabia will have a great system blackstone will have a great system we will have jack all right and in fact. and in fact no one will have a great system because when you put corporations in charge of things it's profit over all else as we can see with the leaky dakota pipeline but from point on we have structurally deficient bridges clogged roads crumbling dams and locks. all rivers are in trouble a real waves are raging ok that's just wrong trying to let countries and corporations know what's for sale. we got a crumbling day and we got the land they raided we got a good family rug we got raided and play a. game i gave the air traffic control to my grandson last week.

was a big temperate they owe us the great american auction continues the world in many cases is so far advanced that they look at our infrastructure as being saying. we want to look at us with envy apparently you want them to look at us like we're all monopoly board got it got it need it need it. how much for your railroad how much is that much for the warehouse full of confederate statues i have that. i had this one they were willing to sell oh yeah but. when money rules over politics there is no safe and a healthy future for the average american family this would be why a large scale princeton study recently showed america is now an oligarchy not a democracy however the study did not mention that the oligarchy us are now selling

america to the highest bidders how many you from washington d.c. to build the bases. welcome on the lake can now take the news from behind new numbers. does show that five men own almost as much wealth as half the world's population that's right three point seven billion people can barely scrape together the same wealth as bill gates mark zuckerberg jeff bezos a module ortega and warren buffett who are worth a combined four hundred billion and if you if you're feeling randi you can throw in

the koch brothers for another one hundred billion. these people are sick and also half of that list has generals like a sack of potatoes i mean. you would think with that bunch of money you could have pioneer some sort of gel removal process so. there's got to be something there but luckily no one is excited this is the silver and silver lining of this no one's excited about these insane numbers are right most people get i think i think pretty much everyone recognizes that when millions of people around the world struggle to eat or are dying from preventable diseases or forced into what amounts to slavery with that's going on no one celebrates horrific greed gluttony and selfishness. well few of them was on the stock for a few years you have made a lot of money but not as much money as this guy founder and c.e.o. jeff bezos is now your second richest person on the planet business wealth climbing

to seventy five point six billion dollars wow wow wow wow wow wow wow this is a goddamn awards show anybody of yours tells you a bad like mayor makes files or he's over there you go there you know do you know and you don't see how sad it is you should at least be able to understand how unstable it all is a stable sustainable system does not have five people with the same amount of wealth as three billion people ok here now is a list of things that are actually more stable than our economic system a game of django played in the back of a public school bus. with bad shocks. the gentleman from duck dynasty on ice. and moonshine. number three mancino ortega walking up a slight incline. just barely and number four dennis

rodman tennis rodman is more stable. than globalized. capitalism. plus none of these titans of greed armed this money on their own every one of their inventions or business is were built on the back of our society america's billionaires all made their money because of the research and innovation infrastructure that make up the foundation of our modern technologies they have taken credit along with their massive fortunes for successes that derive from society rather than from a few individuals how many people and technologies support. the success of amazon how many ideas and inventions including the internet as a whole helped create facebook how many individuals and societal benefits have had to come together to make the. what the fuck does he do.

say i go on a train or seven. i think he patted down crying i think every he gets royalties every time a baby cries. now the question is does this mean they are to blame the answer is yes and no and it doesn't matter if you if you chop up your own coal and give the meat to a hungry dog to eat the dog isn't really to blame for eating it we have a system that taught these sad men to behave like hungry dogs they would almost say they were still readers sickness of the mind and it's on display for all of us to say what is there on the telly that. we can you can see it and you can't help but feel bad for him you know that there should be sarah mclaughlin commercial system. asking viewers to help these guys this is listen if you see him on the street bring

him into your home all right just give a like an onion soup and then show them how to be a human. this is why we told paul passed this system because even if those guys where they are there would be others to take their place we have to create a system that stops feeding them chopped up bits uncle. we have to go to a quick break but if you want some exclusive redacted content and more just text the word redacted to four four four nine nine nine it's free and quick what to write back i. for decades the american middle class has been railroaded by washington politics. big money forgiveness that's grown that a lot of boys that's what is in the news culture in this country now that's where i

come in. i mean it still. i'll make sure you don't get railroad you'll get the straight talk in the great new. questionable. level of selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles the things. the new socks credits tell you that what we gossip and by falsehood most important today. tell me you are not cool enough and that's. all the hawks that we along with our loved ones. on larry king you are watching are. more.

called the feeling of freedom and. everyone in the world should experience freedom and you'll get the old. the old. world come along for the. new leaks through real that there is a conservative foundation funding a strategy to crush labor unions nationally but on the bright side for once it's not the koch brothers for one instead it's the bradley foundation. so tired of your faces. you guys look like cheese steak sandwiches mated with dr

strangelove. so tired of the home anyway here to discuss is our senior labor expert newly hermana. tell us about the gutting and demonization of workers leave they are demons nothing nothing is worse than a well adjusted happy worker in an office with their incessant small talk and endless pictures of their nieces and nephews on slip and slide. they're not even your kids terry. it's kind of creepy now people are realizing men unions of diabolical are leaving them i have to prove it chart please see that red squiggly line that's union membership and it indicates numbers drastically dwindling in recent decades and clearly it's because workers have

realized you hate them. i don't know votes of bribery like grover from reading that writes it looks like when union membership was high so was the share of income that workers got it does ken when you remove the graph please remove the graph not only that. it looks like we're at the same level of union membership as the great depression take the graph down to the graph down in the same level of income inequality as the really. take up. damn. your needs data anyway. we we do very very people need to know that they leave the poor having foundation with free workers from data and paying their burdensome dues the way it did in wisconsin with the very simple d.i.y. grassroots approach they've developed you know by funding think tanks advocacy and bill writing groups opposition research candidate recruitment conservative media

but it doesn't sound grassroots at all that sounds like a heavily funded organized attempt to get government to crush workers before you pass judgement leave brantley gives money to the symphony orchestra ok. so we qualifies as a charity and operates as a tax exempt five one c three so sure their plan is to turn the blue states red and twenty to thirty years but they'll do it with an o. o. and some cello. like the band that played on the titanic. and i don't care if they rolled out the entire new york philharmonic right this year just busting unions to consolidate their power that's all it is really you're just jealous progressive still have a long term plan like bradley and nor do they have cellos. leaked documents reveal that bradley is very generous and gave the freedom foundation and washington state one point five million dollars have you ever given

a million dollars the freedom foundation is a very benevolent think tank that you know doors to convince workers to break with their unions in an effort to defund big labor see this is all charity they're knocking on doors the same night that neighbors freeing workers from the burden of having too many rights oh. this is weaponized philanthropies all right they have a clear political motive and they're parading as a charity if bradley weren't a charity organization. with the higher santa clause to encourage workers to opt out of their union. oh my god this is horrible yes and then you know what union members call the cops on undercover santa for trespassing. and then for santa how to get is that for years i'm sure that cost him a fortune no no no no actually they were out for years and they don't get paid because they're not unionized. they tried rudolph ran them over it was like

behave market massacre but with magical creature. i. hear day. five people including the head of flint michigan as health department were charged with involuntary manslaughter this week for what they did to flint's water but that's not the only problem with the water in this country redacted corresponded not only with jill has more. water is a thing we all need to live and something we can all rely on. the less you live in flint michigan or cincinnati ohio or grange or texas or the thousands of areas where they might as well so lead coffee stirrers in the supermarket. but the silver urge to rebuild mining is the fact our government at least has regulations in place

to monitor levels of chemicals like lead and arsenic in our water. but they don't regulate so much as the presence of per barrel chemicals p.s. seeds manmade chemicals found in products that are water resistant and stain resister them that can make you resistant since they cause cancer liver disease and kidney disease plus a recent study from the environmental working group and northeastern university finds p.m.c. is go unchecked in the water of fifteen million americans. in twenty seven states it's not surprising p.r.c.'s end up in our drinking water since they're found in a zillion and one things we use every day like. cleaning products nonstick cookware makeup in short all the things i used before my mom visits my studio apartment to show her that i'm a self-sufficient adult who cooks her own meals and showers regularly those are the things that are slowly killing me on the inside about ninety eight percent of

americans have season their blood which means people have seas are like that h.p.v. of chemicals everyone has it but it's not just cleaning and grooming products they can be found in there also and things like firefighting foam like this foam that overflowed when a fire alarm was tripped in an airplane hangar in santa clara california the same type of foam into groundwater from military bases across the u.s. but the. surely there is some mainstream media coverage highlighting the danger. a fantastic thing has happened i've never said this before mystery foam alert i think i've been to visit club you know. what i don't know i mean could i speculate i could but that really is worthless except i will look at it as undulating even waiting to use the word. has it been since the last time you wonder later that. it

was only after americans and the lawmakers who represent them complained about their cancer water that suggest the limit of seventy parts per trillion was made which is only likely from what some scientists say is the safe is one part per trillion just for scale that's the equivalent to a drop of water in one thousand olympic swimming pools or the single tear from an american indian who was actually an italian man with a tan. even culturally appropriated their sadness. jesus that's cold. but beer of seeds are the only toxic substance that has yet to be regulated under the state drinking water and once upon a time the e.p.a. was required to regularly regulate chemicals but after complaints from water utilities congress decided in one thousand nine hundred six to leave it up to the e.p.a. to decide when to create new regulations as

a result no new contaminants have been regulated sense so what can you do to avoid pm sees when our federal government isn't doing its part so you can avoid anything that says teflon on it unless it's the classic album teflon don from rapper rick ross that's sacred or you can call your representatives to tell the e.p.a. to get tougher on chemical regulations. or you can be like me and start the d.c. area is because. this is the first time anyone's ever said this but kept. speired me. this exactly to go back to.

you know your headlines from the future coming up next month jeff bezos feels good about self for reading a whole article about how other half lives. and in august. trump shows ugliest third of american citizens to abu dhabi. and you might of heard the new york times has had a bit of a rough go of the truth recently so you'll read this in a couple of weeks. new york times claims to be growing as new ten page corrections section added to. the was. that does it for our show but i want to close on a serious note tonight obviously the shooting this week in virginia was horrible and many are talking about how the shooter was a fan of bernie sanders and bernie has of course talked about political revolution i just want to say that though we do need a revolution in this country it needs to be nonviolent it needs to be cultural it

needs to be an evolution of the mind besides being morally right historically nonviolent revolutions are the ones that actually last with that i bid you good night. i was. us. i'm tom hartman and i'll give you what the mainstream media can't tell it's big picture we'll go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. but politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to be. the two going to be press to supply them before three in the morning can't be good

. i'm interested always in the waters in the. west sydney. on the news tonight an american jet fighter shoots down a syrian army jet as russia responds by closing the deacon puts in on line with the united states. and the same for a new twenty two year old american college student otto warm beer died after being held for seventeen months in captivity by north korea and a terrorist attack outside a mosque in london leaves one dead while police stopped yet another attack in paris i'm ed schultz reporting tonight from the r.t. do zoom you're watching r.t. america.
