the feeling to. the experience. that you get it out of your. according to josh. to. come along for the right. were. both well. were well welcome to the room yes thank you good night my name a summer you know leave camp i'm named after and a descendant of general robert e. lee who should probably fire his publicist. i'm not kidding 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 way 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. well i'll tell you i'll tell you what we don't even have to take him down or 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 of all beyond. they don't have robert e.

lynn and stonewall jag zan and j. edgar hoover are and i joe paternalist actor they took a. pen stay after it came out he was defending a plan to file you know you and it'll have bill o'reilly not not a statue just bill o'reilly. they just be greeting people and grab their whatever and whatever he does you know because i don't 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 i did was. i. there like we kind of find this annoying but it's paying the bills ok. some people some people support the confederate statues and flags for openly racist reasons

that is clear you could spot them by the pronounced 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 am i love the name of than. they did to me. 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 flower from a loaf of bread or the corporate money from congress or. or the. war

profiteers jack of from bill kristol. good stuff. frank 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. i disagree. and thank you now at has real time to get applause in this room.

but beyond just that confederate statues are worse than most they represent upright 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 and rigid that's that's a real photo. excuse the socks. right now i'm a guy they look happy in that but actually i've been stuck up there for a week so. it wasn't that good but i did 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 wise 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. or. i think i was ten before i even realized the south had lost the war. when i

heard that i was. about lost if we lost it why do you see all this confederates around town is it that 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 it sends is the same the monument says these men who viewed europe 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. but that's that's a real thing that was apparently a rented by a man trying to remind dog owners to pick up there. but i think it probably has 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 over spectacular idiocy the same people that are demanding that the cutter it 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 who are not welcome here that should not at all. with a-k.

pride flag signifies in fact it signifies all are welcome here the two flags are polar opposites that's like saying well having 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 fountain 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 p.

quality that would explain why the confederate flags 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. 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 the kid was a use to ask you. this thank you this was your life. 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 or 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 moose 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 issues. to share a. i have. 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 from paul a higher 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 know just. when people get to 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 goal 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 they blitzer don't worry about it yeah don't worry about covered up you haven't go back to picking let not your. knowledge five no it's fine i think i don't all ignore other to ignore that ignore the evil things nastier citibank are doing or i care there's tons of for you to ignore all right you can figure it out on your i don't have anywhere. to go those are the

behind the scenes at c.n.n. or. breaking 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. like that outfit if a microaggression. 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 we'll be right back.

i'm tom hartman and i'll give you what the mainstream media can't so big picture. and when question or find what you're looking for. we'll go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. on a trial that we have spent countless hours poring through documents to tell the story about a police shot. corporate media really uses to talk about these. i'm going to pay to clear picture about how disturbing accounts for conduct has been.

these are stories that no one else might have posed to the american. west. welcome back. we. through the night are chopstick of the why read censorship of anti-establishment journalism and media and the us corporate power structure. this. 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. a i can't believe you told them about my worms.

you know who that is and to be done so the other team credibility i interview assuming this is the i'm stressed it in and censorship go. i mean what are you 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. the good. john they're 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 search 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 what was it what lee lee

the reason is 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 why 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 dance we owe our two big guns to gun them more like the devil rat yet the rats are. the corporate democrats i came on board with them their girl our audience not so much sorry. of course they are they're nuts. but you know regardless i still don't think that diamond silk should be. monetized and undermined in america for speaking their minds. all 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 checked against fake news which is unfortunate because the washington post editorial 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. really know. what they are 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 update you on that for a war which is to never and once we're talking about this drone 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 pentagon is now posing the question to drone or not to drone alleged terrorist cells in the philippines which is a strange question to ask because we owe ready did two thousand and six and twenty twelve. did we can did we just. wake up drunk from years of war pamphlets wondering what happened on the island of jolo in two thousand and six and

oh where did my moral forty an international war go oh my god where is it where. we did help build teams fight against spanish colonial rule and the filipinos declare their independence and eight hundred ninety eight from the spanish first then we just stayed there and the filipinos had to fight and know their war of independence against this. of 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 since the united states left in one thousand forty six filipinos elected leaders who was found in the american an anti colonial rhetoric like the current leader in terror today going to press it because somebody is. going to be. enough or are you. were 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 his own people justifying it as a drug war. he learned the fake drug war trick was to grow up so don't face a human rights watch claims because drug lords really were on the poor and the police led extra judicial execution campaign that has resulted billing 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 turned to use the weapons we gave him against his many enemies like tribal in schools accusing them of teaching students to become communist rebels 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. use. good regular guy. she's a symbol you guys get her who already muslim separatist groups who have been brutally oppressed by and fighting the filipino government for over fifty years and

just last year they picked up an isis. really isis. i mean to follow isis on twitter but if you can be a judge for green follow on twitter i have to be left taco truck right now ok i should also get rid of that taco flag. this is they only care about any project that's not. what. 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 have had their hire i talked about my experience yesterday on redacted v.i.p. and youtube 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 through. what you have for breakfast yesterday why would you put those who sees your wife. what your biggest fear there is a bit of a right with celeste read a book to see if you have that answer but what about. one topic so simple that. now i get to do due to the question more.

the feeling of knowing something. every the world should experience. and you get it on the old the old. the old according to just. welcome our world come along for the ride. all the world. and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties aren t. america playing are to america offers more artsy america first leg.
