his publicist. i'm not getting though he's actually my great great great great great great third cousin. really but he never even tells me a birthday card right so he's you know what he's dead to me is dead. anyway both sides being named really descended from really you growing up in richmond virginia the capital of the confederacy and attending the university of virginia in charlottesville last week and i was also ten feet from the charlottesville terror attack as it happened so that is who i am and where i come from and what happened this week and i'm saying it's time to take down the statues of robert thank. god i tell you i'll tell you what we don't even have to take him down i just move them all to a big building where anyone who wants to go see them can it will be called the

museum of values most of us have evolved beyond. they don't have robert e. lynn and stonewall jags jan and j. edgar hoover are and i joe paternalist actually i took a. pen stay after it came out he was depending upon to file you know and it'll have bill o'reilly not not a statue just bill o'reilly. just be greeting people and grab it or whatever and whatever he does it will be kind of like the creationist museum in kentucky you know that it has a display of jesus standing next to a dinosaur with a saddle on its back i mean that museum stays in business purely because millennia will show up to post instagram's with the caption remember what it was at. there like we kind of find this annoying but it's paying the bills. some people

some people support the confederate statues and flag for openly racist reasons that is clear you could spot them by the pronounce the brow the cheeky george and just a little drool trickling. down their chosen but for many others it's much more complicated than that my parents who are in light and wonderful people i was the name of than. they did when. they named me for the same reason a lot of people semi ambivalently support the statues because they want to recognize our history our ancestors outside of the racial implications but the problem is these things can be taken out of their time and place and you don't have to be overtly racist to unknowingly take part in and bolster a racist system removing the racism from confederate monuments is impossible it's like trying to remove the flour from

a loaf of bread or the corporate money from congress or. or the war profiteers sack of shit from bill kristol. good stuff. thanks in their faith in their. statues are not just meant to honor our history they're also meant to symbolize our values to remind our society how a great person behaves and judging by the statues apparently there were ninety nine percent more great men and great women and about ninety nine percent more great white men the great black men and essentially zero great hispanic people and maybe one great native american. i mean if you really look at the numbers there were apparently more great horses than great women. and i like to say i disagree that disagrees. thank you thank you thank you

thank thank you the time to get applause in this room. but beyond just that confederate statues are worse than most they represent a pride in fighting for the right to own other human beings that's what it was i didn't understand that when i was little of course in fact here i am sitting on the robert e. lee monument in ridgewood that's that's a real photo. excuse the sox. right now i'm a guy and they look happy in that but actually i've been stuck up there for a week so. it wasn't that good but i didn't i honestly didn't know the true history the true history because we were taught a whitewashed version in school even to the point that my high school mascot was the confederate rebels there was that. that's the real do with that ridiculous rebel soldier because of the excess winners like

a ninety eight year old racist who was on the losing side of a war. i think i was ten before i even realized the south had lost the war. when i heard that i was like. well lost if we lost it why do you see all this confederates around town he said i like wearing a t. shirt that says president to caucus. i was a big dukakis fan when i was about ten but it is the most important part. to this day i don't think i can fully understand what it must feel like to be a black person in our society and passed by glorified monuments to people who fought to continue owning your ancestors as property it probably feels similar to seeing a grand statue to work to a nazi in germany if there were such a thing i realize there are a variety of differences between the two but the point stands is the same the

monument says these men who viewed your kind as second class citizens or property or mongrels to be exterminated they were our heroes and we're proud of them. ok maybe not all statues represent those thoughts for example the world's largest ball of twine in kansas or fountain in chicago. that's a real thing there was apparently a rented by a man trying to remind dog owners to pick up there. but i think it probably had the reverse effect because people like oh this is where you leave the this is. fun. and good thing way we have the mainstream media to muddy this debate and create a boiling stew spectacular idiocy the same people that are demanding that the confederate flag comes down are the same people that are insisting that the rainbow flag goes up these two flags represent the exact same thing that certain people

groups are not welcome here that should not at all with the k pride flag signifies that it signifies all are welcome here the two flags are polar opposites that's like saying well having a separate water fountains for whites and blacks is exactly the same as having just a water fountain. chives represent that certain people are not allowed to drink the water no that's literally the opposite of what a water phone is. well i guess at least he's admitting that the confederate flag means that some people are not welcome here that's rarely admitted by the right wing in fact many people don't know that the confederate flag was hardly seen from the end of the civil war until the one nine hundred fifty s. as historian david goldfield notes you started seeing it again associated with defiance of the federal government and opposition to the civil rights and racial

equality of the african-american population in the south people only started waving that thing again when they wanted others to know they were against racial equality that would explain why i can verify. ads are so often seen in the vicinity of truck nuts. you know they come in pairs they go. these civil war icons are meant to show that our society values white men who were willing to die to keep slavery as an institution i only recall one black monument when i was growing up in richmond virginia the arthur ashe monument arthur ashe was a hero of mine because i was in richmond and i played tennis just like he did but i now realize it speaks volumes that the black hero in our city is willing to celebrate that our city's willing to celebrate is one who excelled at sport and did not really threaten white folks at all this doesn't mean or the us wasn't great but it sends a message if our white monuments imply excellence is fighting

a war to keep black people as property and our black monuments imply excellence is politely winning tennis matches furthermore it's a little weird that the ash monument makes it look like arthur ashe was taking books away from children. and there was the childish reaction. that can cause i just thought i. was right that it was. but this past weekend. i honestly witnessed a horrific event in charlottesville yet i'm still hopeful the anger and hatred and even murder we've seen from racists and white supremacists is the last gasp of a dying worldview trump is an over in your face symbol of a backwards on evolved ignorant set of beliefs but those beliefs aren't those

beliefs have quietly and secretly been the bedrock of our society for a long time and now i have hope they're being pulled up and discarded these aren't easy or comfortable times but no change ever comes from comfort and in this cultural battle the good guys are winning i mean. i. really can't tell a take the news from behind this past week was earth overshoot day is

a day in which we've used up all our allotted resources for the year and will now be going into debt for the next year now i would go out on a limb here and say we're not going to pay those back next year but i won't do that because the limo was going to go out all we already used up with a. way which opted up and made a hipster belt buckle with a moose carved into it. in order to commemorate a time when there were still moves ok. but there is some good news about earth overshoot day it means we are able to calculate roughly. how many resources there are on the earth and how we're using them which is kind of the whole basis behind a resource based economy which is a way for us to to live on this planet without using up all the things but way if i want better and capitalism isn't the best economic system then why do i have all

these shoes. touché. and i have no puddle. but clearly we don't care that we're using up all our resources things are gone so bad we've we've even nearly used up all the racism and bigotry for the year from trump just had another shipment brought into the white house. of course stromboli hire drivers with his skin color so that you know pretty offensive. pretty well that's it really really you should hire all types all types also offensive this way it was trumps white supremacist or people turn to speech. apparently apparently his economic advisor gary cohen formally number two at goldman sachs was standing next to trump during the speech and cohen was somewhere between appalled and furious yes i'm sure he was thinking to himself you were supposed to be racist others just jameco havel. you

know you don't just put it out there like you're on a table you don't change i have people good scream and run away. don't don't it don't you hate that when you accidentally say the thing you mean you know . it's a good thing that doesn't happen more often unpledged delegates exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don't have to be in a position where they're running against grassroots activists in the bogor of the united states is twofold as i've stated it's one to make sure that we destabilize syria. money trumps. peace sometimes. i mean let's remember here the people we are fighting today we funded twenty years ago reckon to give up on destroying the health care system for the american people who will be my intention to do anything to benefit any any

american i. was you know that was that is that he's done a great job of really workin day and night. basically the truth is the real problem here is the more inconvenient truth leaked e-mails show that the saudi crown prince once out of the war in yemen this is great news for the twenty million people currently starving in yemen because of this war it's also great news for the mainstream media who were hoping to find a reason to ignore the humanitarian catastrophe they were already ignoring there like i. can go back to ignoring that right away blitzer don't worry about it yeah don't worry about covered up you haven't go back to picking let not your. knowledge no it's fine i think i don't all ignore other to ignore that ignore the evil things

nasa or citibank are doing or i care there's tons of for you to ignore all right you could figure it out on your i don't have any of. those the behind the scenes at c.n.n. are. making of things the media is ignoring nasa just announced that last month was the hottest july am the hottest month ever on record in unrelated news g.q. has announced a new trend in business attire for next month it's just a necktie. i yeah and for below the waist it's also just a necktie i. really. that's really bad outfit if a microaggression thought we have to go to a quick break but i have live comedy shows coming up in seattle and washington d.c. and you can now vote for your city to be added to the tour just go to redacted tor dot com it only takes thirty seconds to vote will be right back.

on the trial where i've spent countless hours poring through documents that tell the story about the abuse i will print corporate media report uses to talk about these. i'm going to paint a clear picture about how disturbing council corporate conduct is because. these are stories that no one else might pepto in your post to the american. question. 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 knows that

our 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 our t. america. we hear both sides we hear from both sides and we question more that journalists are not getting anything get in your way to bring it home to the american people. ok. all the world's a stage and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties are in t. america playing righty america offers more american personnel. many

ways to use linsky just like you real news big news good actors that act and in the end you could never hear on. some of the park you keep all the world all the world's a stage we are definitely a player. oh well. we sure are going through the night or to pick of the why read censorship of anti-establishment journalism and media and the us corporate power structure. this new level of censorship goes beyond even your run of the mill sadistic corporate consolidation of information thanks to entities like google and facebook we've now entered overt suppression territory here to explain what's going on is our senior media watchdog with worms john of

o'donnell. yeah. i can't believe you told them about my words. you know who that is and to be done so your team credibility you have to be a citizen precedent and censorship go. i mean what are you talking about i mean all that's happening is that google and facebook are working overtime to stomp out extremist hate speech and fake news they're taking it very seriously some might say they're even being nazis about it. good can. john there just using that as a pretense to target all voices that don't toe the establishment line in last week's episode i mentioned because of google's new surge protocol sites like democracy now have lost nearly forty percent of their traffic yes sure you know but google has also hit the right wing like the libertarian site antiwar dot com and

they have good reason. so was that not only the reasons not the point ok you don't even know now do you have no idea oh i have no idea ok i thought maybe you would know i mean do we still live in america here i mean the question to say what is this maoist china ok. take a breath. away i think that was the worm speaking it's important it's important we get this information out there so tell us what else is going on oh well ok as you know google owns you tube and you tube has recently begun the monetizing videos meaning taking away ad revenue from content creators deemed too controversial for the platform sadly too controversial actually means anybody with a perspective that isn't directly aligned with satan's for corporate. lies death

and destruction. that was. i guess what they did to redacted tonight that's true. story they also did it to us and for many of the independent you tube channels ad revenue is the source of income that allows a creator to stay afloat this is defacto censorship yes it is and on the left besides us they did monetize shows like jimmy do or tim black and abby martin and on the right they had the ball to de monetise diamond and silk. was who were diamond and still early it down and down and down and then we owe our two big guns to don that act more like the devil rat yet the rat are. the corporate democrats not him on board with them their goal our audience not so much our god of course they are they're nuts. but you know regardless i still

don't think that diamond silk should be. and undermined in america for speaking their minds. they. were right we're right we're almost out of time here is there any other grotesque repressions that we should be aware of real quick. facebook is now consulting with the washington post a fact jack to get its fake news which is unfortunate because the washington post editorial for disseminating fake news on behalf of the intelligence community which amazon's jeff bezos has a six hundred million dollar contract with which seems like a conflict of interest because he owns the washington post also plus facebook will be giving preferential loadings needs to get media i don't have to do that as i thought it. was you know. that's why they don't get. the next rudy leader we're going to support. or maybe

it's blown i'm not sure redacted correspondent on the caravan he filed this report . i'm going to take you for a war which is to never and once we're talking about this war. now there's no reason to be alarmed this was clearly an isolated incident. i am now receiving word that iran is building a three mile high roll of toilet paper. and the north koreans have a new surface to air tampon they're testing the arms race has begun the pentagon is now posing the question to drone or not to drone a legit terrorist cells in the philippines which is a strange question to ask because we already did in two thousand and six and

twenty twelve. did we. did we just were. drunk from years of war pamphlets wondering what happened on the island of jolo in two thousand and six oh we're didn't mind the moral authority in international war go oh my god why is it where. we didn't help the buildings fight against spanish colonial rule and the filipinos declare their independence and eighteen i need from spanish first then we just stayed there and the filipinos had to fight no their war of independence against. we were independence after all that celebrating that has to be obama all right everyone stop the flow raid put down the t. shirt cannon and break up a real can and will since the united states left in one thousand forty six filipinos elected leaders who was found in the american an anti clone you know

rhetoric like the current leader in terror today the president of the somebody and . i'm going to be. enough for you but. we're going there so we called obama son of all or just normal banter between nations to tangiers our new partner in crime against humanity as rex tillerson promised weapons and drones but he's a dictator which brutal violence against its own people justifying it as a drug war. he learned those fake drug war tricks. they grow up so quick i don't feel a human rights watch claims going to that this drug war is really one more on the poor and the police led extra judicial execution campaign that has resulted violent deaths of more than seven thousand people.

this is immediate. just. relax hitler killed six million jews so our friend of terror days only half a holocaust. how can we be sure that you use the weapons we gave him against his many enemies like tribal in schools accusing them of teaching students to become communists. ok buddy if you're going to be our partner we don't announce the war crimes before we commit if you're going to bomb schools or hospitals. autocratic small minded want to be dictators tend to get along so trying to raise your taper is to row crack down. the. good regular guy. jesus bill you guys get

a hoot already muslim separatist groups who have been brutally oppressed by and fighting the filipino government for over fifty years and just last year the victims. are really isis. i mean they do follow isis on twitter but if you can be a judge for green follow on twitter i have to unfollowed be left taco truck right now told me i should also get rid of that taco flag. this is they only care about any project it's not. so. i want to close out the show today on a serious note about charlottesville being there and watching it happen was something i'll never forget my thoughts are with all the the injured both mentally and physically and the family of how their hire i talked about my experience yesterday on redacted v.i.p.

and you tube slash rejected tonight i feel like if there's if there's one thing it brought into focus it so we've all one brief moment to make this world a better place and every once in a while you realize just how fleeting and tenuous it is so it's now or never til next week goodnight keep fighting. in case you're new to the game this is how it works my economy is built around reason for a show from washington washington media the media. voters elected business to run this country business you. must it's

not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. what you have for breakfast yesterday why would you put. your wife. what your biggest fear. of a big moment was the let's talk a little bit bored you say if you ever miss the concert but what about. it's going to be tough but those are being you know i did did you do to push more. people to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go right to the

press this is what before three of the more people. interested always in the water . on the news tonight the president is expected to make a major announcement in just under one hour on america's top forward in afghanistan and no lol in tensions with north korea as the united states and south korea conduct a massive military games on the peninsula and the spanish police say the driver behind the veil in last week's terrorist attack has been shot dead. i mean what chance sitting in for ad shoals here in washington d.c. you're watching our team america.
