tv Redacted Tonight RT June 22, 2017 7:29pm-8:01pm EDT
7:29 pm
for you say if you ever met since the best quarterback of all it's pointy tops that doesn't belong on the field now i've interviewed you to question more. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories that our 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 artie's able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out
7:30 pm
there to the american what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ins 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 we can you know what they're working. welcome to reject. 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 ice movement he's out with
7:31 pm
a new book and the last time we talked about the problems with our system this time he and i discussed the solutions how do we fix this mess and start moving forward. for all the advertising against actually something else i wanted to ask you which is 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 and act. but i don't know what i what i don't thing i explicitly said is that it's basically the estimate as a thousand to three thousand ads and brand names a day and they're all really selling one thing it's needed 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
7:32 pm
look at advertising the the rise of consumerism which by the way i don't know if people know that consumerism i considered a pejorative but actually this is this is an economic policy in the mid twentieth century symbolism is a theory that people should behave this way to help each other it's not completely again and after nine eleven bush said keep shopping you know they want and so what i see it as is it's a it's a structural transfer of the need to consume and keep money moving behind 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 when you're saying that achieves the only really
7:33 pm
a new level of human right that's will choose a new level of consciousness awareness it's forces that the constant pinging of the lower fear reactions and that threat of survival enables people to finally break out and realize their humanity in our advancement and what we can do we know human variability can. system a 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 of say a corporation of course generally a corporation is fairly collaborative while it may be highly competitive against other corporations same for the military very competitive compatible and then of course there are supporting the extremely violent war against some other group so the group estate 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 fall 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
7:34 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 the is 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 our survey of ai experts and they believe like most of them believe that i will at least be capable of doing every job or 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 a 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 that needs the interest and sort of creative dominance and in the fear of the that the sentence rises and and even stephen hawking has talked about the tremendous dangers of
7:35 pm
giving birth to and all the matrix and terminator movies all over again but i think you 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 going to be killed yeah absolutely so that is at the root of it if we wanted to 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 you start to support people by lowering the work lowering the hours reducing the work
7:36 pm
basically 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 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 more time and they they make same out of money you know if we're still on a money going so that it should be a good thing then the analogy that i used to complain of evil 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 i'll bring back the treadmill and we go yes or they say will make the treadmill go faster and we say yes and no one says why we're running on the trot. exactly and then the identity is so locked into labor you know people retire it's discreet proven that they die sometimes after of quite frequently forty eight thousand suicides you know to a caribbean american sixty three european countries during the great recession
7:37 pm
because not only deprivation but they have no job and there's that 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 that 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 in a free country i love the freedom and democracy of it all right access is at the root of everything and 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
7:38 pm
out there if you look at almost all the crime legislation the books relates to 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 of the the role of the police and their structural position but i don't want to go on that tangent so you 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. as from sharing homes into two people that have gone a little bit farther they have tool sharing libraries or even just the functional idea of the ancient library itself and the medications of that so if you have an access society we're going to not we're not using property or you've. deviate 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 as if this actually gets into the next one open source yet we can do it slowly over
7:39 pm
a lie over over over a lot of. if we can overlay overlay that a little bit as well soap and saurus brings in the subject that effectively you have more efficiency generated through more minds focusing on something than just a boardroom and it goes back to what i just said about the evolution the social relationship to to everything that we've create created you know what goes into a computer is it's hundreds of years of investigation by countless people honestly thousands of years and you 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 unorganized capacity to design innovate can now be extended to anything cars you can use cad computer aided design computer it 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
7:40 pm
at that point in time best the best and that would open the floodgates of innovation in other words you know far more innovative lee efficient yeah without all those proprietary code you could have precisely all the things which would leave the law much quicker and move them at less waste you get universal standards ation of people who actually have an interest and share in the ideas hence you don't have all the crap and the noise in the and the waste one of the obsolescence 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
7:41 pm
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 free labor so localization is critically important for the stability of this planet i mean again 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 a 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 four 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 have a good 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 explained that well we have this thing echoes of old anti-socialist rhetoric
7:42 pm
. sees years ago wrote that basically you can't have any kind of non 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 d.c. 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 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
7:43 pm
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 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. it's that there's a overriding bias of people born especially they've been rewarded it doesn't take
7:44 pm
you know a degree in social science to see the operant conditioning of the wealthy that reach a point. where they have been so rewarded that their brains like what you're going to counter the system we do in 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 is universal basic income it's the only socially acceptable plausible thing to do besides charity and 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 as they mean the whole of the high business community and government understands what we're doing with technology i 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 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 anyone the claims of the
7:45 pm
for science that hasn't taken the time to just look at their own world forget about the cosmos for a second let's stop terra 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 the social indoctrination fear and the fear of being ostracized and labeled as something that would be inconvenient for their reputations yeah i think 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 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 while it's a reflection so fully will find its release by the end of the year but no promises just can't say and 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
7:46 pm
a quick break but i have a lot of comedy shows. coming up in chicago washington d.c. minneapolis email redacted tonight at r t america dot tv for details and tickets i'll be right back with more. the mission of news with you is to go to the people tell their side of the story our stories are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media in this country can say that i think an average viewer knows that r.t. america has a different perspective so that we're not hearing one echo chamber that mainstream media is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one tells us what to cover how long the coverage or how to say it that's the beauty of
7:47 pm
archie america. we give both sides we hear from both sides and we question more that journalists are not letting anything get in your way to bring it home to the american people. i'm john harshman and i'll give you what the mainstream media can't help big picture. and when you question mark find what you're looking for this little. dog. will go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. local blogs selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that don't. produce talks for the tell you
7:48 pm
that every gossip and tabloid lifestyles of the. well the my eyes and tell me you pull enough light out. of the hearts that we along the border will want. to. welcome back to redacted the night vi p. as you probably heard of john f. 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 a mid level democrat at best but he's still young and dreamy anyway that election in georgia was stolen and in
7:49 pm
a moment i'll explain how the democrats i think this officially makes them charlie brown every election every special election every midterm election every 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 football 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 catcher still a thing is that is that a job was it ever again and if so was it as an elected official like what there were elections and what was it was it ever elected did they can and did they
7:50 pm
campaigned to the dogs of the citizens. and if it's not still a job. or what happen all the dog catches or more importantly to all the wild dogs 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 you know 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 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
7:51 pm
i'm not a huge fan of john 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 alexion 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 interstate cross-check cross check alone not to millions off the rolls in the last
7:52 pm
presidential election and it back 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 of 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 of an election fraud is that they want to continue to have an illegitimate system in which they can rig the primaries as they did with bernie sanders but jesus what what is bringing the primaries matter if you get pounded in the general if the democrats don't stand up for legitimate elections
7:53 pm
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 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 a devastating seizure disorder received an oral solution of cañada di all a component of marijuana and the control group got
7:54 pm
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 and 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 is it break 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
7:55 pm
of something something being sleepy having two cups of coffee existential dread acid reflux acid flashbacks daddy issues daddy issue dread to 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 of that i know of he says high 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 are you worried about jeff. yeah yeah you know just as a play if you're watching these things senate hearings like they want he was in the other day he plays that all dopey old man routine but i'm on to you i i don't know
7:56 pm
what's going on here what is this senate hearing on balance dan who are you who are moderate while i'm out talking to the bun or phone could you repeat the answer again so that i can try to question it doesn't want. to go on a pious ah i'm done with this prayer 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't have his cancer meds repossessed by the government and it's all part of jeff sessions. he's the worst he plays that covielle man thing but he's the worst that sense that's what you need to crack down 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 that they're going to keep getting better and then
7:57 pm
they get to take care. show me a happy life who has time for that kid with ample abs and getting better well is time to deal with that you know obviously the scientific proof is it's piling up that marijuana can do impressive things ok that 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 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 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 show that i
7:58 pm
have for you but you can tax the word redacted tonight to four four four nine nine nine you can 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 tonight good night good fighting. in case you're new to the game this is how it works in our economy is built around court. confirmation from washington to washington media the media. voters elected business to run this country business because. it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before.
7:59 pm
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 raid in truth to stand down this is just the dance the right questions to the right answer. question. i'm a trial lawyer i've spent countless hours through documents that tell the story about a. corporate media rich uses to talk about the. i'm not a pretty clear picture about how disturbing to look forward is be. these
