5:29 pm
the writer doesn't even seem to consider the fact that those are touchy news items that the president maybe should take a little time to think through before issuing a statement especially on the venerated twitter which knows by now that c.n.n. is reading like a bible seriously first they complain that trump tweets too much and that it's embarrassing and we must look at it and now they're complaining that he doesn't tweet enough and then the writer and the article saying on these matters of life and death war and peace then some kind of tweet from the president might be welcome and sued so dramatic talk about embarrassing twitter is the distraction people it's not policy it's not legislation it's not even official it's a silly website with a fairly name and c.n.n. is taking it so seriously so either they're too was the only themselves to not realize it's just a distraction or are they do realize that and i just embrace in their role in the
5:30 pm
idiocy of it all either way there have session with trump's tweets are way way way way more embarrassing than the tweets themselves. most people think to stand out of them this is this you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice or the biggest read improves to stand out of a new solutions you just need as the right questions to bam the right answers. question.
5:31 pm
or. or. or. or. welcome to redact. camp tonight i'm going to tell you how the special election in georgia was stolen from john asaf but before i get to that i have part two of my interview with peter joseph creator of the movement he's out with a new book and last time we talked about the problems with our system this time he
5:32 pm
and i discussed the solutions how do we fix this mess and start moving forward take a look at all the advertising gets actually something else i wanted to ask you which is you know a while back for your other serious culture in decline i did a thing on advertising and about how abusive they are to you know what ads in general to what they're trying to get make us think and how and act. but i don't know what i what i don't think i explicitly said is that it's basically the estimate is a thousand to three thousand ads and brand names a day and they're all really selling one thing it's need and solving that need with consuming consumerism is it possible to get past that system when we have that much advertising for this way of life. like there's just endless thousands and thousands of ads telling you this is the way it has to be well here's the way i look at advertising the the rise of consumerism which by the way i don't know if people
5:33 pm
know that consumerism i considered a pejorative but actually this is this is an economic policy in the mid twentieth century summaries isn't a theory that people should behave this way to help each other it's not so completely again after nine eleven bush said keep shopping you know they went in so what i see it as it's a it's a structural transfer of the need to consume and keep money moving bind things over and over again to keep jobs into the social psychology of people that's what's happened and again there's a massive campaign as i said earlier in part that led people to this ethic of constant consumption as though it was a moral duty an ethic you're helping in society by doing this so you have to change the social system that's what goes back to the book once again if it's the new human rights movement because if you want to change the way people think if you want to change their general incentives you have to change the structure that's organizing them it's very fundamental it's very simple really so so that and you're saying that achieves the only really a new level of human right that's what she has a new level of consciousness awareness it's forces that the constant pinging of the
5:34 pm
lower fear reactions and that threat of survival unable to people to finally break out and realize their humanity in our advancement and what we can do we know human variability can exist in many different ways there's nothing that says we have to live in this competitive cutthroat world at all plenty of examples throughout history of pockets of people who live differently and you see it in fact in the pockets within the structure say in a corporation of course generally a corporation is fairly collaborative while it may be highly competitive against other corporations same for the military very patted it compatible and then of course there is support an extremely violent war against some other group so the group istic thing is a problem and that's been completely amplified by the current system which could which brings us back to the new human rights movement because at the root of all of this we have this constant group antagonism that's the flaw of the way we exist right now. and it's perpetuated by our economy. absolutely i want to jump to some solutions because i think we've got people depressed enough. but you say you say
5:35 pm
that in the book you say there are five shifts that need to happen in order to increase economic efficiency and to get to this to this new place to these new human rights really. and i just want to basically go through these the first one you list is automation and i actually last week on redact and i did a piece on i guess a study just came out of a survey of x. parents and they believe like most of them believe that ai will at least be capable of doing every job we're talking including creative jobs like best selling novels and pop pop songs and stuff be capable of it in fifty years and perhaps replace those jobs in one hundred years and most of them believe that that's happening i think people go a little extreme and i'm for all of this by the way but i think the need the interest and sort of creative dominance and then the fear of the the the sentence rise and and even stephen hawking has talked about the tremendous dangers of giving birth to and all the matrix and terminator movies all over again but i think you
5:36 pm
know the i think there's a speculative side to it that is a little bit too of this as far as what we expect to happen but i don't think we should go that far they were just looking from the standpoint of what can we do to free ourselves from labor member labor is is at the root of the civil rights battle going going all the way back to ancient slavery in egypt it's all about the abuse of labor the lower labor class the fighting of unions and early america you know instantly rated as calm as socialist union busters mafia he would be killed yeah absolutely so that is at the root of it if we want to that we can talk to the other one stupid if we really want to get to the heart of stopping effect of the ongoing class war the removal of labor for income would be the most profound thing that we could do or at least subsided substantially what i mean by removal removal of unions that are in place for the automobile if it's a place of automation and then you start to. start to subsidize so to speak start to support people by lowering the work lowering the hours reduced in the workplace be reducing the work week reducing the work hours and then things like universe universal basic income there's other things i could rattle on that would compensate
5:37 pm
for the automation shift but that that's what needs to happen as one core step which invariably has to happen to some degree. and with the jobs disappearing you know people are suffering when in fact that should be a good thing where people have you know more time and they they make same amount of money or a lot of it forced on money they don't so that it should be a good thing the analogy that i used to complain of people is like it's basically like we're all hamsters on treadmills and there's all the taking away the treadmills and so the hamster started beating the crap out of each other to try and get what's left and then apologize and come along and they say one of two things they say either all bring back the treadmills and we go yeah or they say will make the treadmill go faster and we say yes and no one says why we're running on the track. sadly and then the identity is so locked into labor you know people retire it's disc we've proven that they die sometimes after quite frequently forty eight thousand suicides a node to have occurred in american sixty three european countries during the great recession because not only deprivation but they have no job and there's that
5:38 pm
identity of having to work socially men they have this identity that's been ingrained in them that they're supposed to be the caretakers and you know all that stuff so the cultural ramifications are very strong we have to undo a lot of that but my argument against it is sometimes it's good when people die when they lose their job like roger ailes so there's always an exception is an example but i want to let's go to the next one access do we do we not have free access now i want a free country i love the freedom and democracy of it all right access is at the root of everything whether we know it or not property is really just access because you don't really own anything you don't take it with you it's the labor of the ideas what went into the construction of anything as a social phenomenon so the it's an illusion that's been propagated a very primitive view and born in the. mouth rusian period which you had to hoard and you had to be protective so property rights today dominate majority legislation out there if you look at almost all the crime legislation the books relates to
5:39 pm
property and most of the violence you see has comes down to a property relationship as well and the police are largely defending property and then it was a perfect analogy is a metaphor of standing rock where you have you have cops protecting a pipeline against the people they've sworn to protect yeah exactly brings another subject to the role of the police and their structural position but i don't want to go on that tangent so access is at the core of it we've slowly started to see the interest in access from the sharing cars from from air b.n. b. is from sharing homes into two people that have gone a little bit farther they have tool sharing libraries or even just a functional idea of the ancient library itself and the medications of that so if you have access society we're going ott we're not using property or you've deviated away from it as much as you can where you allow for people to gain access to things through a system that's not based on exchange but we've generally said is that this actually gets into the next one open source yes we can do it slowly over a lie over over over a lot of. if we can overlay overlay that
5:40 pm
a little bit as well so if and source brings in the subject that effectively you have more efficiency generated through more mines focusing on something then just a boardroom and it goes back to what i just said about the evolution the social relationship too to everything that we've create created you know what goes into a computer is hundreds of years of investigation by countless people and we know honestly thousands of years and think about the evolution of science so in that historical level that exists in the sense of collaboration and then on the parallel level if you as has been proven by people to develop linux by all these other math projects all these things i list in the book as well create a collaborative commons where people have access and organize capacity to design innovate can now be extended to anything cars you can use cad to be rated designed to be rated engineering and the future people sit in a laptop with thousands. of others working on a single project to try to make the best of the best something that could be made at that point time best the best and that would open the floodgates of innovation in other words far more innovative the efficient yeah without all this proprietary
5:41 pm
code you could have precise all things which would leave them on much quicker and move them at less waste you get universal standardization if people actually have an interest in sharing the ideas since you don't have all the crap in the noise in the in the waste that want to and obsolescence right right right what about localization localization the fourth one. four hundred thirty one word for word for it well so localization i think will happen naturally due to a federal law is ation a term coined by book mr for which basically means things are going always the process technology designed always to get smaller and smaller and smaller more efficient so and they the computer is just another example of that and this increases a lot of waste and i mean absolutely it also incentivizes moving out of globalization which is simply another form of colonialism or exploiting labor and resources in foreign lands that can't defend themselves or their so there's such destitution they have no other option but to do it here to fifteen cents an hour and so on just so just because a country is willing to sell you its resources because it's so desperate doesn't mean that that's good for them free labor labor so localization is critically
5:42 pm
important for the stability of this planet i mean again the for the average american plate food travels about fourteen fifteen hundred miles for the average american that's nuts that's crazy yeah and we have things like you buy a twenty eight dollars table let's say wooden table at wal-mart that those trees were cut down in vancouver than they were shipped to china to be turned into the pieces to me put together then shipped back to wal-mart then wal-mart sells a deal last for months but that's good because you go buy another one. so you see the boy it's ok it's obvious that really want it and it will get i think it will be in the market system luckily or unluckily it depends on you look at it people will gravitate towards localization eventually because it just will be less efficient financially for them to do globalization especially with the rise of automation and then the last one is networked digital feedback ok it's a big one explain that well we have this thing echoes of old anti-socialist rhetoric. seeds years ago wrote that basically you can't have any kind of non
5:43 pm
market system because you'd never be able to understand the preferences of the individual you never be able to track supply and demand and all those basic economic parameters and metrics. that is thoroughly ridiculous in the modern day especially with the internet with sensor systems you could have a city that is will and this will happen it's already happening around the world and i'm surprised he doesn't have it yet you have a city wide why file and then you connect sensors to all the transactions that are occurring boom you have instant feedback of all the transactions that are happening in the economy and i'm not a silly referring to economic financial transactions refer to transactions of people to simply getting what they need and as this book progresses the logic becomes more and more clear that the highest state of fish and see which would also create the highest level of social amiability hence the levy ation of all the group versus group woes is a system that doesn't have money now i don't push that in the sense i know how irrational it sounds the most people for that is the most people just can't even feel that but that's something that i talk about in the eventually lead to but i'm
5:44 pm
trend i'm very transitionary of those those five things you just mentioned if we could get anywhere with any of those in a substantial way you're going to see a dramatic alleviation of social tensions reduction of poverty the increased efficiency the increase decrease of waste more sustainability and so on they all have those factors built in as an outcome. so why don't we hear this these these ideas and even really just a deeper questioning of capitalism in the free market it's i mean it's basically a third rail of politics but even on most of our media even people that that a lot of the country respects this kind of thinking you know forward thinking people like you on mosque and and let's say neil de grasse tyson and these people that can look at the numbers the same way you can why don't you hear it's bias but i assume it's that there's a overriding bias of people born especially they've been rewarded it doesn't take you know a degree in social science to see the operant conditioning of the wealthy that
5:45 pm
reach a point where they have been so rewarded that their brains like what you're going to counter this system will be doing this is this is your survival this is what has been rewarding you so that's why the only thing that any of these guys have talked about. as universal basic income it's the only socially acceptable plausible thing to do besides charity it all it really is a form of charity and they can't justify the lack of it now in the sense of you trying to mediate in some kind of social welfare thing which you know has a terrible connotation to it. because of they see the efficiency they mean the whole of the high business community and government understands what we're doing with technology understand the efficiency understands that all of this efficiency is a generator of the fast past fifty years has gone to the one percent with eight people with more money on the bottom fifty percent they know they have to do something if they want to preserve their hierarchy it's an intuition they feel so universal basic income is the most logical step for them but there's plenty more that needs to be done and i i stand with you in the sense of the discussed any one of the claims of the for science that hasn't taken the time to just look at their own
5:46 pm
world forget about the cosmos for a second let's stop tara form planets you know let's not send rockets let's worry about what the let's not here for a moment and i think it's just disappointing i don't think these concepts are the foreigner that difficult to get people's head around is just it's the social indoctrination fear and the fear of being ostracized and labeled as something that will be inconvenient for their reputations yeah i think i think when your bread is buttered from doing one thing it's tough to tough to change course peter thank you so much for taking the time of your book is the new human rights movement it's amazing an excellent as all your work is and looking forward to the movie i guess will come out and well it's a reflection so far and it's released by the end of the year but no promises just conceding push back should be a fun that's a thank you thank you appreciate it for that was the second of a two part interview with peter joseph you'd like to watch the first part haven't seen it go to youtube dot com redacted to night we have to go to a quick break but i have a lot of comedy shows coming up in chicago washington d.c.
5:47 pm
minneapolis email redacted tonight and our team america that t.v. for details and tickets back with more. you. know if you treat good looks like. it's good. for the bottom. line. like you i got. your launching our team america special report. this. is my that's.
5:48 pm
basically everything that you think you know about civil society have broken down. there's always going to be somebody else one step ahead of the game. we should not be. the allies saying. we don't need people with things like this on our plate. this is an incredibly tight situation. welcome back to redacted the night v.i.p. as you probably heard of john the democrat running in the special election in georgia last despite being the most expensive house election ever both sides millions into this thing and i believe a few weeks ago i incorrectly called asafa bernie crap he's not a bernie kraut he's
5:49 pm
a mid-level democrat at best but he's still young and dreamy. anyway that election in georgia was stolen and in a moment i'll explain how the democrats i think this officially makes them charlie brown every election every special election every midterm election ever general election and every election for town dogcatcher every election that is even remotely close they think they can pull it out they really do they think if they just pump enough money into it they can kick that football and look into lucy's eyes and they say this time to kick them football and every time the republicans steal it from them they yank the ball away and watch the democrats fall on their ass and then the democrats go back into their corner and come up with the conclusion that party sanders just weren't a goddamn socialist we want to one the town dog catcher race i have to ask is dog
5:50 pm
catcher still a thing is that is that a job was it ever it and if so was it as an elected official like there were elections and what was it was it ever elected did they can and did they can't buy into the dogs of the citizens and if it's not still a job. what happened all the dogcatchers or more importantly to all the while dawgs. i kind of wish there were still wild dogs actually because and you know make life exciting probably move people little faster on the subway escalators to get get going we need we need more wild dogs anyway john ourself the democrat who looked like he would win the georgia special election he had the election stolen from him in the same way republicans steal most elections it has been well documented by investigative journalist greg palast in the pages of rolling stone on democracy now and elsewhere and yet you'll hardly hear a peep about it on the mainstream media you'll hear more on cable news about fake
5:51 pm
words that trump is tweeted then you'll hear about the following real words and action fraud. there we did it we got through it and by the way i want to make clear i'm not a huge fan of john asa he seems to have a lot of neo liberal believes that are crushing people's lives and making it exceedingly difficult to watch a happy polar bear in the wild i'm not a fan but just because i don't love asaf doesn't mean i don't want legit a lections we no longer have a democracy or a republic we have corporate totalitarianism with a hint of fascism and a sprinkle of bad reality t.v. that's not really reality by the way and nor is it really t.v. all self selection was stolen from them by making it very hard if not impossible for people of color to vote as palaces documented this was done with a combination of neo jim crow laws closed polling places gerrymandering and
5:52 pm
interstate cross-check cross check alone not to millions off the rolls in the last presidential election and in fact palast was a sultan when he tried to question our opponent about these issues yet for some reason the democrats continue to think they've got a shot in hell a winning these elections and they don't and again i'm no fan of democrat of the democrats i support them about as much as i support tiny tot football which is a say not at all but if it has to happen it should be with the ones who already have brain damage they should they should be the ones to participate just send to send the cross-eyed ones out there. i can only surmise that the reason the democrats don't scream bloody murder about election fraud is that they want to continue to have an illegitimate system in which they can rig the primaries as they
5:53 pm
did with bernie sanders but jesus what what is rigging the primaries matter if you get pounded in the general if the democrats don't stand up for legitimate elections they will spend most of the coming years staring at the clouds and rubbing their ass. but then again considering the level of corruption and morally bankrupt practices that are losing out of both main parties maybe it doesn't matter if one corporate profit over people party wants to lose and leslie to the other corporate profit over people party so be it negative razzmatazz i don't give a shit. anyway let's move on to some good news some good news the miracles of cannabis continue to slowly reveal themselves like a coke at this young lady i knew a rigorous study showed that cannabis can even to help decrease epileptic seizures another study has shown this children with dravet syndrome
5:54 pm
a devastating seizure disorder received an oral solution of cañada di all a component of marijuana and the control group got a placebo don't worry even though there cannabis was a real the placebo group still got to put up bob marley posters in the bedroom. asked as. a joke about smoking pot at it. anyway the treatment group saw their number of seizures per month decreased by half the experimental proof that cannabis can it can have a big impact on cancer and epilepsy continues to grow it's become many many studies have shown this meanwhile attorney general jeff sessions is still looking to crush medicinal marijuana even though cannabis oil and extracts from marijuana don't even get you high they don't even like it not being a high is a big problem in this momentary energy fluctuation we call life why does it break
5:55 pm
everyone to it distorts your view of reality adding to get a story a view of reality blood sugar levels hot days had a dehydration paint fumes watching more than three episodes of the real housewives of something something being sleepy having to cover for coffee existential dread acid reflux acid flashbacks daddy issues daddy issue dread name something that doesn't distort your view of reality you're telling me donald trump doesn't have a distorted view of reality it's quite possible he is the most distorted view of reality you know what i'm going on what do you think the world is he's seeing out of his eyes god only knows and he's on small good way that i know of. he says hi on his own. lack of mental health i don't know what he's just anyway but that's beside the point because these medications don't even get you high so what the fuck
5:56 pm
are you worried about jeff. yeah yeah you know just as a play if you're watching these things senate hearings like i want to was in the other day he plays that all dopey old man routine but i'm on to you i'm all of you i i don't know what's going on here what is this senate hearing of balance who are you who are moderate why am i not talking to the bun or phone who could you repeat the answer again so that i can try to question it goes and i want to. repair a price tag on of pirates ah i'm done with this pair that's what i'm asking you young man he's playing that gimmick to distract us and then before you value it is surrounded by a group of men in white hoods and you can have his cancer meds repossessed by the government and it's all part of jeff sessions plan he's the worst he plays that go below man thing when he's the worst that sense that's what you need to crack down
5:57 pm
on jaf and donald trump you need to stop kids with cancer from getting better it's been a real problem in our society is going to keep getting better and then you get to take care. show me a happy life who has time for that kid with apple getting better oh it's time to deal with that you know obviously the scientific proof is it's piling up that marijuana can do impressive things. that the extract from the marijuana plant and if we you know and the fact it is taken as this long to even come up with these solutions is due to the fact that they put marijuana as a schedule one drug and as if it's like you know stabbing a heroin into the bed of baby's forehead or some it's. i'm just saying the studies are out there the proof is out there it's doing amazing
5:58 pm
things for apple for cancer for so many other things and we need to we need to talk about these studies we need to study it more. anyway that that's the zero that i have for you but you can tax the word redacted the nih to four four four nine nine nine you get signed up for our free newsletter there's free content that we send out that way also i'm on twitter i badly camp redacted i good night ok by. most people think just stand out in this is this you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest read in truth to stand the news business is just the dance the right questions to the right answer.
5:59 pm
question. in case you're new to the game this is how it works in the economy is built around quite. a ration from washington to washington the media the media. voters elected businessman to run this country business because. it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. it's called the feeling of. the world series. and you'll get it out of the old the world. according to jess.
6:00 pm
come along for the ride. greetings and salutation i'm sure by now we've all of the old saying another day another dollar or as they say here in washington since the election of one pound old j. trump as president another day another allegation for meddling into hacking the collusion to obstruction week after week day after day we witnessed a steady stream of allegations directed at the white house and russia but but this week things have taken a rather intriguing ter as democrats in particular the democratic national committee has now found themselves.
