also reauthorize civil asset forfeiture a highly controversial practice in which cops steal basically steal people's property and he's announced his desire to start a new war on drugs but here's something you need to know the u.s. drug war isn't about drugs it's not about drugs the drug war is about freedom and apocryphally of privacy and corruption and racism and then maybe at the dad at the bottom of the page if you can squeeze it in also drugs. the drug war is about drugs about as much as winning an olympic swimming meet is about keeping that bathing suit from riding up your crack. yeah it is a crucial aspect. but if that's all you're good at you're not winning. last year we learned the drug war was designed from the start to avoid the blood started to destroy the black community and the reputation of the black community even more than medea has all right. it was also designed to destroy the

activist community and especially the black activist community this is probably something you felt in your gut like you knew you knew it was true but you never thought you really get clear proof of it kind of like when we knew barry bonds could naturally hit every single pitch from giant stadium to yellowstone national park like you do it but you didn't have the proof. but last year we finally found out about the convention confession of john ehrlichman former white house domestic affairs adviser under richard nixon who was the first to declare the war on drugs he was the one and in one thousand nine hundred nine with nothing left to lose or gain ehrlichman told author dan balz the nixon white house had two enemies the anti-war left and black people by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin and then criminalize. in both heavily we

could disrupt those communities we could arrest their leaders raid their homes break up their meetings and vilify them night after night on the evening news did we know we were lying about the drugs of course we didn't. so there you have it the drug war was never about drugs they were they the drug war was yet. and yet our government has used it to justify everything probably militarization to the bombing and paid in foreign countries to jailing millions of americans we lock up seven hundred of our citizens per hundred thousand compare that to sweden where they lock up fifty three per hundred thousand and half of those choose to be in prison for the soft beds in the smoke tearing that's the die for the guy for incredible we have the most people in jail per capita of any come a country except seashell all right seychelles which has

a population of only ninety two thousand they have like eight hundred prisoners total total that's the same number we have at the holding pin at mall of america right because they tried to look one of the mannequins or other. the drug war was never about drugs the drug war a war against our own people is one of the most crucial issues in this country and nearly everything said about it on the mainstream media is complete garbage in terms of importance that the corporate media does not put the war on drugs anywhere near the level of say katy perry's haircut or donald trump's killer recipe for a hot cup of coffee. the key is to marinate the raccoon testicles in like. you get them in like a lemon juice kind of marinated and also you got to milk the goat by surprise preclude strictly by surprise. but last month for one of the first time the

mainstream t.v. they headed to a channel revealed the core truth of the drugs the war on drugs has always been a pointless sham for decades the federal government has. gauge in a shifting series oval lion says of convenience with some of the world's largest drug cartels for example in the one nine hundred sixty s. they were working with mob boss santo trafficante jr yes it was a man named trafficante. who ran the drug truck it talking ring i mean that said i couldn't take a presidential advisor of con artist named kellyanne conway. thank god thank you i having a white house press secretary named david out of my face. so why did they work with

trafficante the cia wanted pradelle castro dead and in return for trafficante help in various assassination plots they were willing to turn a blind eye to the extensive drug trafficking by trafficante and his allied cuban exiles so in return for help killing field ok astro they would allow the trafficking of enough cocaine to satiate to the beggar death stagehands during the one nine hundred eighty nine told. so how did that go the whole killing of pradelle castro thing. oh it was a long gone where they just waited until he was a hundred years old and then and then they smothered him to death with natural causes. clever clever they're very. yes. toad's sneaky the drug the drug war was never about drugs and another pivotal moment the cia imported significant amounts of

l.s.d. from its swiss manufacturer in the hopes that it could be used for successful mind control they went on to dose thousands of volunteers with acid apparently those volunteers included can rob hunter the lyricist for the grateful dead you could have got. that one and whitey bulger the mob boss and hitman one to guess that one could barely why do you didn't have the kind of l.s.d. that shows you all living things are just loving energy vibrations. you got you got a bad batch. anyway in a lot of ways this experimentation is given credit for helping create the psychedelic interest of the nineteen sixties as well i stupidly wide collars on shirts. goddammit cia i knew you were evil i knew you were i knew you were to up to all kinds of no good but i didn't know you were responsible for the b. g.'s. is nothing sacred to you. then in the

nineteen eighties as the reagan administration tried to overthrow the sandinistas in nicaragua the planes that secretly brought arms to the contras turned around and brought cocaine back to america again shielded from us law enforcement by the cia so the us government was pumping our country full of cocaine while locking the small time dealers away for years what each of these examples shows is that the drug war was never about drugs not to mention let's assume let's just zoom for a moment that doing drugs is wrong or right just for the sake of argument i don't know if i believe that but let's just say the sake of argument that they're wrong isn't really it's really more wrong than say animal abuse or raising children in a discussing home or pushing a handicapped person over so you can get a taxi or peppering your padded wanna was sarcastic comments about this lack of taste in movies. people rarely go to jail for any of those things they rarely go to

jail for animal abuse but constantly go to jail for getting a little loopy from a drug or giving that drug to someone else couldn't you argue that smoking something is almost zero. less criminal than all of those things those who ask criminal then sending men and women to die in an illegal invasion of a middle eastern country under the pretense that there are weapons of mass destruction when they're totally art what about drowning a hardworking american in debt for the unforgivable undeniable crime of getting an education thereby taking their entire life their entire existence and setting it on a path of of misery should that come with a harsher sentence than popping a pill but these laws are set up this way because the drug war was never about drugs. right.

there was this candle perpetrated on the american people is breathtaking and the number of lives destroyed is hard to even calculate so in conclusion. call yourself mr magoo he was already thank you. both oh. thank you thank you from the high this past thank you this past monday

was black women's equal pay day that is the day in twenty seventeen at which point a black woman will have earned as much as a white guy earned in twenty sixteen alone for doing the same job so it would take a black woman nineteen months to earn what a white guy gets in twelve months and i think i speak for all white guys here when i say. why do they get a day this. is a very racist. we want to ten. unfortunately equal pay day for a chinese woman in an apple foxconn factory is sometime in two thousand and twenty seven so. don't shoot the messenger all right. if i if i were them if i were the people building each i phone i would just leave and show the side. he exploded so dumb americans could spend months trying to find the smell.

but luckily for us foxconn has just announced they're opening their first u.s. plant in wisconsin and made in america will actually mean something and again rumor has it even the anti-suicide nets around the buildings will be made right here in america. yeah the after the reinforced of a little because of the size of our workers but. yeah we will tear right through you dig a little suicide yet they don't do nothing to us. so. the name of the name foxconn doesn't really inspire confidence does it it's the combination of outfoxing you and conning you. i honestly i prefer their competitor scam ha ha ha ha ha. i just like their products better. i think what fox conn's american rival really means is that rather than building up worker

rights in other countries we have managed to cut our own protections to such a degree that we can now house the worst abuse centers in the world jobs aren't going overseas anymore because workers are exploited just as well right here at home you know we had a dream we did a while back we were like one day maybe id. can work all day just to afford the bus ride home from work. and we made that dream come true we made it happen we are two nations and as many of you know when workers are exploited really well the stock market celebrates and it just broke twenty two thousand the dallas jones just did for the first time ever wall street sees a worker with no benefits and it has its pants. it's something else helping wall street is our massive weapons contractors which are also spook tested right now our number one customer saudi arabia is like a kid in

a candy store of death they are. having a blast successfully assaulting the people of yemen with our help and causing what the w.h.o. just declared the worst cholera outbreak ever and one of the worst famines ok this may look bad it may look bad for us but think about it this way the u.s. is terrible and co-operating with other countries right where we're real lone wolf or of a lot of relationship problems so this is a big step we are currently partners with saudi arabia in a massive war crime so. you know don't focus on the other words and that son's just focused on partners. we have a brand y. balmy in clive and we are well we have a body. but you have to wonder are we running out of places to commit war crimes do

in fact the us war machine has found iraq two point zero well i guess iraq was iraq two point zero. and then libya and syria that so this is like a rock fifteen point. it's yet another country that's not shackled to us economically or via the world bank and now we want to create a cia backed coup there it's venezuela. and you may be thinking the u.s. only cares about getting involved with countries with huge oil reserves there's no reason they would and that's a good oh wait the proven oil reserves in venezuela are recognized as the largest in the world. so this week our mainstream media has been breathlessly telling you that how horrible it is it's horrible we have to bring democracy back to venezuela while we hold hands with brutal saudi arabian monarchies well could our

ruling elite be prosecuted for any of these war crimes or past crimes don't be silly that never happens as tony blair just this week the high court in the u.k. blocked the prosecution of the former prime minister for his role in the war crimes in iraq you know it's really not fair it takes a white guy five times as long to get convicted of as many war crimes as black guys we wiseguys are discriminated against. we are. in fact since the inception of the international criminal court more than a decade ago only africans have been brought to trial why guys just. we were. pretty damn quick right by. comedy shows coming up in seattle and washington d.c. just email redacted. night or to america dot tv pretty tales and to guess what.

would you have for breakfast yesterday why would you put those to the face your wife or. donkey me like you need when that was your biggest fear when you are in a bit on the hay ride with the last time medical board you say if you ever met the best quarterback. it's one topic that doesn't belong here now i've had to do due to question 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 the rich were. are to america has a different perspective so that we're not hearing one echo chamber that means free media is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsors no one tells us what to cover how long the coverage or how to say it that's the beauty of our to america. we hear both sides we hear from both sides and we question more that surely not letting anything get in your way to bring it home to the american people. that. document recently analyzed by the center for public integrity revealed the

fossil fuel industry is spending millions to fill k. through twelve schools with pro oil propaganda in order to get our kids to grow up climate change denying idiots instead of just the standard idiots we've been known for here to discuss is our senior lawyer all to school pipeline special assuming your money. kills me the money and climate change doesn't even have change to spare those green peas bakers are out on the street climate change is asking me for money. the big oil is giving a lot to schools the oklahoma energy board for instance spent forty million dollars in the past two decades unkink outreach and curriculum not unlike the. oil industry and other states and of course daddy bucks wants a say in what's being taught or not being so they're pretty much just paying

schools and manipulating teachers to advertise to children look leave the days of that hippie vegetarian miss frizzle are over. and then have bus runs on diesel not magic what do you kids are too much rooms now we have new characters to teach of science like fuel is freddy all over oil patch and petrol pete. when there was a real yes received yes the firy crew father gave schools nine thousand copies of petrol peanuts big bad dream where pete wakes up in a world without petroleum and it is scary keep looked around the room and many of his belongings were missing including his clothes for school. runs to the bathroom to brush his teeth and comb his hair for school but his tooth brush and comb are missing. if they go to school in this but.

we've been to the really good. your kids that's that's ridiculous look russians yeah right the by products the by products from oil like true brushes and combs are not our problem here it's our over dependence on oil for transportation factory farming military worst petro pete going to be one or environment is completely collapsing in fifty years because we didn't heed the warning of climate scientists i don't know maybe it could be fined had to repeat in this scorched wasteland kind of like kind of like where's waldo but with more scorched wasteland. and so where is pete oh he's dead. or maybe he's living a mad max existence milking the blood of heretics to feed his harem of broodmares. we're feeding kids this garbage this is not science sleep this is not garbage these

are rich resources created by the oklahoma energy board have you seen their video series lab time with leo that because of climate deniers who ripped off bill nye his boat. that's just ridiculous if it should be climate change that's not even science well kids if you live in oklahoma or a dozen other red states you'll never need to study science climate change or evolution all you need to know is the story of adam and b.p. . you mean the same thing did you know adam and eve were naked until they found out about petroleum the. same as. this stuff is great let me show you this lesson from a program in ohio that teaches small. all children how fun franking is using twinkies and strong was telling her cranium you're kidding that's not

real yeah it is look you want to learn how to frat come on you want a little fracking crap you know. ok well fine i'll do the honors so you stick the drill shaft into the soil and use your high performance pump. that's the scariest thing. we. thank. you we went anyway thank you to dispose of the waste properly plus swallowing is not in my contract thank you very much. of the thanks. i don't i don't know what is on the contract but next our military has been up to no good big surprise but in

a strange twist it actually has to do with getting rid of our outlandish amounts of weaponry for more on this let's go to our troops not only mcgill. in a time when this country is bitterly divided i think the one thing that can truly unite us as americans is our insatiable need to purge. difficult to work. difficult to work with my ass. though not everything should be burned for entertainment nor can it disappear without a trace people who live near ammunition plants like this one. radford virginia know this all too well it's one of fifty one active sites across the country where the department of defense or its contractors are today burning or detonating munitions

raw explosives in the open air often in close proximity to schools homes and water supplies over thirty years ago congress banned open burns when they realized it's a lot like burning man except with none of the fun not nearly as many man nips and a lot more cancer lawmakers granted the pentagon and its contractors a temporary reprieve to find the safest way they are wild to talk the burning of munitions because stopping it to suddenly might not be safe that's like song to your neighbors arm insisting in order to stop safely you have to keep strong for the next twenty minutes open burn sparked outrage from affected residents like these in bradford where the plant burns as much as eight thousand pounds of munitions daily we already know from iraq and afghanistan that opening burns are of

about as good an idea is drinking fireball over the age of forty or two white men making a t.v. show fantasizing about the confederacy winning the civil war munitions tires even body parts burned in pits right next to living quarters of soldiers and while registry exists for vets who suffer damage from these fires there's no registry for low income black residents and cities like colfax louisiana where clean harbors a contractor with no sense of irony earns munitions was general regulations on emissions while presenting clean promotional videos with the employees who apparently weren't granted the benefit of a sage cheese this company calling themselves clean harbors is like the port a potties a burning man calling themselves. well clean harbor. what's going on in colfax is just another battle for environmental justice where the chance of being

exposed to pollution increases the lower your income and the darker your skin gets the twenty four thousand university of minnesota study finds us minorities face nearly forty percent more exposure to toxic air pollution louisiana state rep terry brown tried to ban open burns in two thousand and sixteen but the space chemical industry and defense community fired back saying the move would alumina of jobs even clean harbors countered with pictures of freshly painted current pads with flowers and cut grass look just because you give something a make over on the outside doesn't mean it's changed only inside the i one face of the trump administration change several times it's still largely run by people whose insides are powered by gum or big. actually that makes it sound like they recycle i'm pretty sure scott pruitt just thinks recycling means using his diesel powered engine to also power is an industrial grill to cook an entire baby cow at

a time but open burns were made a terrible solution to eliminating military waste covering toward a million acres of land cleanup costs are only a fraction of the military budget activists need to mobilize and places like colfax and bradford so that the only thing that's been burned is this. damn damned wonder reporting from bradford virginia. redacted. that's just shows what i am already i agree you get it you guys.

it's called the feeling of freedom to. everyone in the world should experience flu and you'll get it on the old the old. the old according to just. look at the modern world cup along for the ride. to.

watch the hawks founded by three young americans who love their country but we have to constantly question our government watching the hawks brings the stories the give voice to the voiceless we dig a little deeper we get the stories that the average one else is afraid to touch is afraid to talk about because they don't want to upset their corporate sponsors or interrupt their government access now is the time more than ever but we need to question more. we're in this post truth world heard world words have to matter again it's about educating people and giving them contacts instead of telling them what to make dialogue is far more valuable than debate. on larry king now the one the only. some musicians want to change the world.
