first. i 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 that's of course are you also surprised when a tiger claws 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

four single syllable words in a row dribble out of his mouth. and on the interne 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's officially just opened for business and but open for business he means that he's leaking oil into the water and the land. the key is to get the league still loyal leagues go in early you want to you want to show the wildlife who's boss you do well listen fellas bieber's fish what have you we're going to be pissin toxic fluid all over the place all right so i don't want to hear a peep out of yeah you just you just get the out of 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 saying it was or why he so desperately wanted me to. 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 sponsors are 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 difference the cold room soul of our country rags on the premise that everything is for sale and right now it's like we're at 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 perhaps you're thinking well at least blackstone is based in the us so at least we're in ourselves over. 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 dollar 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 has gas or something but. but there's more trump's son in law and trusted adviser jared questioner has a long history with blackstone's 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 any sense involving trump and cushier includes the phrase fifteen to life. sometimes i got a story that read me. 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 pay oh my god i'm going to be like a bastard of all my doors just faster than ever just pumping people through their advisers a lobbyist generals his daughter has gone along to build build build build it'll be good to go to a passive 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 oh 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's she going to do. so the entire point. it was only a one man show. the entire point of a national infrastructure was initially for the common good you know for the common good like would like road for everyone to use water for everyone to drink jungle gym 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 trick or around your body. and then and then we all still try and go through our jobs every day like i already know. how do i look. 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 when 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 so we got crumbling down and we got the land they really needed we got a good family run out for a guy like crazy and they. gave 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 off monopoly board got it got it need it need it got

it how much for your railroad how much is that much for the warehouse full of confederate statues and i have that. i sat there one day were willing to sell oh yeah. when money rules over politics there is no safe and 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 are from washington d.c. to build the bases.

welcome on the lake and now to take the news from behind the new numbers. to 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 randy 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 much 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 the 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 are forced into what amounts to slavery with that's going on no one celebrates horrific greed gluttony and selfishness. well if you have. 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 bezos wealth climbing to seventy five point six billion dollars wow wow wow wow wow wow wow this is a goddamn awards show any of it if yours don't feel bad like mayor mick files is 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 staple 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 janice rodman is more stable. then 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 and 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 so we are sickness over 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 mclachlan commercial system that's asking viewers to help these guys this is listen if you see him on the street bring him into your home. you give him like an onion soup and then show them how to be a human. this is why we told paul the past of this system because even if those guys weren't they know 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 i write back i. m tom hartman i'll give you what the mainstream media can't tell big picture. and when you question for us. what you're looking for this is. the stuff. we'll go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. for decades the american middle class has been railroaded by washington politics. big money corporate interests that's drowned out a lot of voices that's how it is in the news culture in this country now that's

where i come in. i'm a troll on r t america i'll make sure you don't get railroaded you'll get the straight talk and the straight news. but. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories that are critics can't tell and you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american public what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting

a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working. i. knew leaks reveal 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 a while instead it 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 naomi hermana. here. 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. their not even your kids terry. it's kind of creepy now people are realizing men unions of diabolical are leaving them i have the data 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 unions hate them. i don't know of that's a brick row of over group from reading that writes it looks like when union membership was high so was the share of income that workers got it does can 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 the graph down in the same level of income inequality just really. take that graph jam . your needs data any way. we do very pretty people need to know the data at least the poor having foundation will free workers from data and paying their burdensome dreams the way it did in wisconsin with the very you know 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 you know 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 judgment les bradley gives money to the same fanie orchestra ok. so we've qualifies as a charity and operates as

a tax exempt five hundred 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 oh no and some cello. like the band that played on the titanic. i don't care if they roll out the entire new york philharmonic right this they're 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 and neighbors freeing workers from the burden of

having too many rights oh. this is weaponized philanthropies right they have a clear political motive and they're parading as a charity if bradley weren't a charity organization would they hire santa clause to encourage workers to opt out of their union. by. this 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 elsewhere. errors and they don't get paid because they're not unionized. they tried rudolph ran them out for it was like behave market massacre but with magical creature. heroin i. am doing. 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 reactor correspondent natalie wood bill 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 ranger texas or the thousands of areas where they might as well so lead coffee stirrers in the supermarket. but the silver urge to rebuild lining is the backyard 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.f. seeds manmade chemicals found in products that are water resistant and stain resist them that can make you life resistant since they can 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 shampoo 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 our own meals and showers regularly. those are the things that are slowly killing me on the inside about ninety eight percent of americans have p.f. seas in 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 in 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 a mainstream media coverage highlighting the danger. a fantastic thing has happened i've never said this before mystery foam alert i think of the end of his 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 on the lawmakers who represent them complained about their cancer water that suggested 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. we even culturally appropriated their sadness. jesus that's cold. but p.f. seas are 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. for 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 p.m.c. is 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 big. this is the first time anyone's ever said this but kept. speired me. for this exactly to get the data and. there are 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 have 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 sexuality. i thought. that 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. one thing.

i do not know if the russian state hacked into john podesta emails and gave them to wiki leaks but i do know barack obama's director of national intelligence has not provided credible to support his claims of russia i also know he perjured himself in a senate hearing three months before the revelations provided by edward snowden he denied that the n.s.a. was carrying out wholesale balance of the us. to hyperventilate corporate he has once again proved to be an echo for government claims that cannot be verified you would have thought they would have learned something after serving as george w. bush's useful idiots in the lead up to the base of iraq. it is vitally important that the press remains rooted in a fact based universe especially when we enter an era when.
