be loved by all if you put too much butter on popcorn your killer oh my goodness i cannot agree with that more by the way we had a big debate so you don't have to agree with that's the best thing about it. it's not the way it works fine i just think of a random thing. that. should be hotter than regular soup i've never had an affinity for pumpkin pie. why do why do pumpkin seeds exist i've never had a good feel of benito mussolini. see why do you have a microphone in front of you. that makes no sense it's not plugged in your. it's a fake that's. just a mad go to go run and like all things life is a fake. very much. baseball seems boring but i watch it
9:30 pm
every now and then baseball is my favorite sport period i know that's why i say we're out of time but i want to tell you this ben in the history of annals there is and was and will never be a better. come to my guess a bench warrant. the premier's this summer and to book things you should already know about baby you can get a good. still hard to say that your great will be published this october as always you can find me on twitter with kings things i'll see you next time. here's what people have been saying about redacted in. full on. the show i go out
9:31 pm
of my way to. really packed a punch. john oliver of r t america is doing the same. apparently better than the blue. sea or heard of redacted the night president of the world bank. seriously send us an e-mail. the american middle class has been railroaded by washington politics. big money corporate interests. a lot of boys that's how it is in the news culture in this country now that's where i come in. i mean it's still on our to america i'll make sure you don't get railroaded you'll get the straight talk in the break.
9:32 pm
readings and sell you tell us. our sins of the past will always come back to haunt us hawk watchers and with the recent horrific reports coming out of yemen it appears that the united states and its war on terror has once again found itself at the center of yet another torture scandal this week the associated press is reporting that an estimated two thousand men have allegedly disappeared into a vast secret network of prisons inside the war torn country of yemen run both by the united arab emirates and yemeni forces and that many of the detainees are victims or victim to horrific torture and conditions including being subjected to the grill in which the victim is tied to a spit like a roast and spun in a circle of fire. now where does the united states been this this this
9:33 pm
horror show well according to the a.p. u.s. officials have acknowledged that u.s. forces have been involved in the interrogations of these detainees however they deny any participation or knowledge of the extreme human rights abuses taking place there several anonymous u.s. defense officials told the a.p. that quote u.s. senior military leaders were aware of allegations of torture at the prisons in yemen looked into them but were satisfied that there had not been any abuse when u.s. forces were present. but given the recent u.s. history regarding the torture regarding the torture of the war on terror suspects we've we heard these types of stringent denials before and sadly we can no longer accept the face value. sorry you lost all your credibility after all let's remember that the torture sorry excuse me enhanced interrogation acted under the bush
9:34 pm
administration was allowed to go on punished by the obama administration and back the only person president obama did send to jail for the cia's torture program was john kiriakou he agent who blew the whistle on it so with the united states once again being tied to claims of torture and abuse let us hope history is not repeating itself as we start watching the hawks. it looks like. it's really. as easy to pull out of it. like you know that i got. within three. weeks. growth of the on the watch of the hawks i am
9:35 pm
a robot i have a lot of those so here we sit. torture is being bandied about again extremely horrific torture you know looking at that a.p. reporter and believe human rights watch put out a report on this as well. wow they have a right to feel great keep having this conversation about once every year is that suddenly someone think oh wow we're doing something really horrible in relation to torture i wonder if anything will happen will they really came with a renditions program right it's not always assumed it just went away or i would assume that you know i mean you saw the cia spying on congress all in efforts to avoid keep the congressional report on torture it had never been sent but now for course you know some years later one seems to forget that what they're supposed to trust the intelligence communities with everything now what's interesting about this is this isn't like you know us. sort of torture like we saw going tom the mo of the black sides this is basically the u.s. . you know the yemeni government forces just torturing people they think of all.
9:36 pm
these secret prisons are apparently allegedly all over southern yemen they're inside military bases the reports there at an airport private billows. you know there are even a nightclub there even a nightclub apparently and some detainees that we've been flown to a number of the brace across the red sea in europe tria. the main one of the main detention complexes or at the ryanair rearm airport in the southern city of mccollough former inmates described there they described being crammed into shipping containers smeared with feces blind a folded for weeks on and they said they were beaten up trust up on that grill i told you about that were basically cooked over a fire and sexually assaulted which isn't the first time we've heard reports of things like i mean this is more we've heard pieces and the allegations sort of go away and they saw that would never happen that would never happen the course
9:37 pm
everyone involved is the buying the torture the u.a.e. the u.s. i would say we don't know what it what those torture really are we are even there and ray we were there i mean we didn't participate. is the story now of u.s. involvement which is where the problem i mean while we'll be able to war which really was a very much a cia war right i was the whole point was that we were operating these drone strikes we always sing all kind operatives are there so it actually makes perfect sense that they would be but we discovered this torture programs probably very much a cia operation of its own right out of the so that we've given past history that's the thing they lost that credibility to take the base value with everything they tell us now right and now you have this new young upstart cain possible future king in you know in saudi arabia how much of that is all part of. this whole thing one cares what those walk us through the u.s. involvement like what are they said. what what's being alleged. how is all this break down with the u.s. so you have a lot of of those interview that are kind of explain and speaking on the condition
9:38 pm
the condition of anonymity obviously for obvious reasons because it's a pretty serious. accusation so they told the a.p. that american forces do participate and interrogations of detainees at locations in yemen provide questions. to and receive transcripts of interrogations from these amorality allies that are doing the torturing so this idea that we give them questions i mean we're sort of there but we're not there none of those interviewed would say for sure that american interrogators were involved in the actual into the actual abuse of people but. obtaining information through what you know is extracted by torture inflicted by someone else. would still violate international conventions so. we're talking about at things where
9:39 pm
they're saying that american forces were less than you know were a few feet away at times right so it's like we need this information and we know you'll do what worse the not supposed to is what it sounds a little itty bitty sense of the older editions program where it's like ok these are the guys you want to find something you know about in the old days would be sent to libya or egypt and you know now obviously in the u.a.e. i mean there's plenty of nations that are willing to torture people and there's a long history of outsourcing dirty jobs to other countries or other people i mean that's not really what the cia and autumn are doing that's we're arming rebels moderate rebels we're with this is just enhanced interrogation. being grilled right here and the sort of thing is i don't think that we you know you there is some protests happening in yemen because of the amount of people that have disappeared but i don't think sadly i don't think we're going to see any real. you know on the campaign trail he was actually pro torture and he wanted to go after the terrorist plan was so i don't think we're going to see any accountability
9:40 pm
indeed it's late but us had knowledge of what was happening you know i just don't see it ever happening and there should be no mamma was going to certainly is not going to and this should be something that we should be having hearings every day absolutely. authority special prosecutor secret tapes conversations protesters in the streets a surveillance state and a presidential campaign full of dirty tricks well you got it i'm talking about america in one nine hundred seventy three with nixon as president facing a scandal known as watergate last week it was the forty fifth anniversary of the watergate break in when seven operatives were arrested five of whom were working for had worked as the lead spies at the cia they also worked for the white house targeting leaks and the president's enemies so naturally nixon worked to cover up the botched burglary but with protesters hippies and dissidents in the streets the surveillance state was in full effect the f.b.i. cia pentagon city police and white house were all working to spy on anyone and everyone so who really worked for who was nixon a threat to the deep state. was
9:41 pm
a confidential informant for d.c. police detective carl shot clip from one nine hundred seventy and he has recently come out of the shadows with his book watergate exposed i asked robert wash off the recruited him and who shot her really worked for. gay men and. he had. been a undercover operative there for drugs for a bank robbery which is allegedly been a lot of bank robberies in the. area and the criminals dupont circle which again is a very diverse community. he says that he had observed all the various groups and. there's some major. problems with the let it go in there. way shape or form a one of the willing to stand up the undercover informant and he came in it's been
9:42 pm
greed i found very quickly he was headed in drugs or or criminal activity he's only in politics and he's telling him that it's only the truth that he had a job was to infiltrate the political left and that he needed me to do work within the one who was protective cover and. the senate he would do and they have served me with were people he was very interested in groups that karl worked for was just the. vision and these agents and agencies created the in different ways but karl received several paychecks under different assumed names. he was only known to the police into the woods as being detective cross shelter with p.j. but he was also receiving money under different assume range from the cia. and even
9:43 pm
interpol girl was very stressed but the one person one people who was karl was working for was no it's very intelligence at the pentagon and that's who was controlling the whole regarding the intelligence gathering and. i know all the time it. didn't give you know steve there were a lot and i was just afraid that i was introduced later that i was working for the houston plan at the white house and. he was an organization it was being. organized by the presidents of and manned i think it was tom used and it was somewhat thinned out the intelligence agencies with the see. just like in john kennedy's murder john kennedy's. he.
9:44 pm
shot where was involved with the water and he was the guy that called the burglars and water right so that's what's so interesting about the story was that software actually people always question he was he was actually working extra hours putting over time and it was like saturday night when. all the people that were involved with software in the car think there are two others all had other engagements but they were blowing off to hang out to be within less than half a mile of the watergate even though that wasn't their jurisdiction so the fastening character the houston plan is very real but the thing about it was it was always denied by nixon meanwhile the n.s.a. actually seems to this is all kinds of extra surveillance wiretapping burglaries i mean it's like really fast so we you know we'll talk further that when they. come back to. you so fascinating interview with you when we usually only see certain people and. moments like this. one of those coggs and the wheels.
9:45 pm
as we go to break. now what do you think of the facebook and twitter. dot com coming up. with the some. of this week's new edition of stay tuned to watch. you're watching our team. that's. 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. saying. we don't need people with things like this on our. this is an incredibly situation that.
9:46 pm
in one thousand nine hundred seventy president nixon proposed the houston plan a still classified document that would vastly expand domestic international surveillance break ins and other unconstitutional activities sounds familiar right what's been denied to go into effect but evidence indicates that it was indeed adopted in nixon's plumbers but their burglaries and targeting of enemies were one such expression of it robert merritt author of watergate expose thing he claims to also really been operating under the plan himself and he believes it ultimately turned against nixon leading to his downfall. gathering was going to a couple hundred. people. it was all the different organizations i was involved. perhaps over this thing. which were skilling and arguments breaking and the realization and. even even skilling over. from the
9:47 pm
national hebrew congregation. john it was really the room. dupont circle that overlooked dupont circle and it was the room that was cameras are you holding out in your. room as you participate and sexual activity with various congressmen and senators. and clearing ambassadors the president richard nixon which i. never thought. they would then you know watergate break in if i told karl and karl and the whole. three weeks and has a very very nobody would know it would have been a very good it would have occurred and on monday morning they were very was come to
9:48 pm
work and notice nothing there was no. cabinets or desert will be overturned it is on the end there needs very some additional wire taps that end and they leave in the same order of perhaps even better than what they found. when i told her about this everyone in the first round i dragged playing by the way at dupont circle and they read a read the real name was james reed and james. read it was never found this day when i read it told me about the very get really was working at the columbia applied to across the street from watergate although very one of these t.v.'s switchboard the one with. holes and plugs and wires the old switchboard and she has one i describe yourself then there's a drag queen i plugged into hole number two and there's a lighting up the area that have been months and she one says it was in apartment
9:49 pm
and while i was doing the after multiple conversations he gathered that there was going to be a break in the d.n.c. offices across the street at the watergate she told me about this and even told me the date of june the eighteenth nineteenth he said he could do i told. the same day even to read it please with a nod to ever divulge his information read it and before midnight that same day. he never been found you know all this stuff and used to give throat carl was deep throat and this story that john i mean bob woodward made up with no more than just a story i knew woodward and bernstein to call. pretty
9:50 pm
interesting stuff with how. interconnected he was with all these important figures in u.s. history especially during watergate in the seventy's and what you're saying seems very broken up about what happened. people that. targeting. coming out after talking to them and looking at his book you know who really was because he kind of alludes to the fact of the you know the deep throat mark felt that we know wasn't really the deep throat or really was really behind according to my right. you know. it's a long interview people should watch the entire thing if it requires a lot of thought because in the day we know that the right wing was very paranoid but nixon in a sense that he was making the time with the russians we also know that there is you know obviously the democratic faction that hated nixon and then there's this basic question of did the conspiracy of nixon's desire to put these make it
9:51 pm
a branch also just go too far and backfire in the sense that shuffler if true it right he basically told to go to the apartment they found these guys and tracked back to nixon and so was james mccord as a cia guy but makes you wonder. you know by it he bungled this operation the tape it was very messy you know howard hunt being involved there are so many elements to this case that it's really can't say it in the day that it was just a conspiracy that nixon was innocent i don't think that at all but everyone was kind of dirty and then the day the establishment kicked in and said ok we want to get rid of the president they went too far. with this idea what it. is that there are certain times when they're going to go too much on one person's hand with the pentagon the f.b.i. the cia but we don't want the president to have his own press by plumbers operating for him not for the record i. you know we should be stealing for everybody interesting thoughts of a definitely other jerk took charge out there so your view that sean you could have
9:52 pm
a good she got early next week probably. we want to get better of the road so it's pretty interesting stuff exciting. whoa according to league camp the host of the award winning r.t. america show redacted tonight the show's staff could be replaced by a mop a joke book at a sense of disillusionment apparently they couldn't find him up this week so they're doing another show brian dropping the minutes to break more of this makes us excited jeremy. tonight to preview this week's latest episode of r t s redacted tonight our family care of money and child i fall down on baby thankfully it in we've been hiding them off just in case they did. all those injuries are still positive in celebrates we're brothers and more and more certainly we will resort back to the giving right there. over time so that the bus tours are starting to snow we have the power to tell you well i know we're very brave here well so naomi . i heard that you looked into the d.n.a.
9:53 pm
in it and apparently they're in comp but i don't think i'm shocked to tell me more are you heard correctly i did sound that there's a new river or by republic of it came out this week by ginger times and she's been investigating this massacre in mexico and apparently she discovered that the da was kind of responsible for this massacre because what happened was they found that they found this agent was part of the c.v.s. part o. c. this point oh very very difficult to track down very. impenetrable and they took his phone found all the phone numbers of the leaders of the zetas cartel and as soon as they got that information they share it with the mexican. and the mexican police don't. very gracious and of course to see this is. you know some people working for them. marks
9:54 pm
a complete waste of art and. it was also working with the dea and the da knew this so when they share the information they see this current tell. me at least so take a look over here it's. just one of those yeah. here's some highly sensitive information that could cost lives this is a discard tell this to mediately who had betrayed them and began hunting for the snitches the traffickers went after anyone connected to them leading to a massacre in ny and they which hasn't been investigated by mexican or american officials since until a pro publica report demonstrated the role of the dea a cavalier way of sharing information clearly showed no concern for the lives in countries where they operate but i mean what do you would bet from this agency when the mexico and central american sections of the da where this badge on their
9:55 pm
sleeves. i think guys might aiwass the shaman. he was also a great yoga teacher to also misled congress and the d.o.j. about fatal shootings in the twenty twelve operation and. operation and till ok so now we've got mc hammer and wiley coyote this is inspiring a lot of confidence so the d.o.j. nor i want to say that there was a cover up in honduras that would be extremely illegal but i will say there was room and. they didn't say that right. now that. was going on as soon. as this john. i speak a little there's some of that ice cream is the answer and sanatorium have one exceptional united states that in terms of taking care of children ok my saying
9:56 pm
this week is that it just seven with there's a new report by save the children called the end of childhood index. yeah yeah it's pretty it's pretty intense they rated one hundred seventy two countries and terms of quality of childhood over eight different metrics and the u.s. got number one at being number thirty six got thirty six just below for. no defense but mycenae m. but they're not exactly as you countries we are and you know a lot of the reason is because cuts in social safety net things like that and you know nutrition assistance and this was an incredibly hard topic to make fun of because you know you don't want to be more. you know what no children suffering is more difficult than your job and it will be ok when you took the lightly gig this week of the massacre and i took you know you know children start going but but basically yeah there's a there's a different categories i could read them for you where there isn't anything we knew
9:57 pm
ended up thirty something does not kind of the all american exceptionalism thing we are exceptional have being number thirty six times just how do you decide if someone is very critical of the letters asking that their ads are so more and more i ask you. the most important question. facing regard to every week is one of leave. well that is true because yeah he talks about amazon and how much of you know behemoths that is in a monstrous company and what's going on with your base does this new line of wiring of whole foods yeah and yeah there's a there's a really really funny till the thread throughout the entire piece and that's because apparently that is the that is what is being ordered the most apples on you know we've talked about this crazy monopoly consolidation all these externalized costs and what's going on it's like yes we get. this you know these efficient products but what does that really mean and you know what sort of violence is that cause for other people and people that are you know providing that very service for
9:58 pm
us and their workers are treated in a really normally way to do things that amazon will ever get a bad review in the washington post i don't know but they're certainly not going get a beverage believe you by the cia either. has a contract with it's just getting pretty crazy it is that you know you got so many . lists seeing it as best i can certainly having fun and it's interesting because you guys look kudos to you guys you put out a great show every week i just want to say that you know especially you know you taking our good new subject matter making them entertaining to watch which is tough you know low child you know bad. tempers i was always hard to talk about incudes i were going to you are literally. you cannot be replaced. but you know you can really and i can tell you i took. the better is that you all are. back to the night which airs every friday on our team america and
