right up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest . i remember when we first met my life turned on each other. but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was a cave still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with this one to. speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its make.

all the food we don't know you go to. everyone in the world should experience freedom and you'll get it out of the old the old. the old according to a gesture. that the modern world cup along for the ride. of. greetings and sell you tasia us f.b.i. i want you to meet a hot water yes the f.b.i. has found themselves swimming in hot water again hawk watchers this time for appearing to have their hand once again in the proverbial domestic terrorist factory cookie jar and a fascinating turn of events bruce joyner the security guard who was wounded in the twenty fifteen isis inspired attack on the controversial draw mohammed about garland texas. is now suing the federal bureau of investigation for their alleged

involvement in the attack according to a court filing joiners suit argues that the bureau was liable for eight million dollars in damages because the f.b.i. help the terrorists obtain a weapon that was used in the attack by lifting the hold during a background check incited the terrorist attack the site of the terrorist to attack the garland event and even sent an agent to accompany the terrorists as they carried out the attack. joiner who was thankfully the only one injured that fateful day when elton simpson and not to be attacked the curtis cowell center goes on to allege that even former f.b.i. director and bureau poster boy james komi actively covered up the f.b.i.'s role in the attack claiming that in the aftermath of the attack former f.b.i. director james comey to lie to the american people by claiming that simpson was a needle in a haystack that was invisible to us now look i know i know right now

you're asking yourself how could those injured security guard possibly believe that a pure angel of truth goodness and justice like james komi would lie to the american people where would we possibly get a crazy idea like that well according to a sixty minutes investigation and a separate court case an undercover f.b.i. agent was sitting in a car directly behind the two attackers taking pictures of them all the way up to and possibly thirty seconds prior to the attack and that same agent had texted simpson calling for him to quote tear up texas just weeks before the event took place. if joiners case proves out i think it's time to ask who is who is a greater threat the extremist terrorists or the law enforcement agency that supplies bottles and spiers them which is why we must always be launching the harks.

as. you know that i got. the in the watching the hard road with her and i'm having the wallace james komi live if i was being alleged i know you're shocked to find out just like the shark the family also blog exploded. but it's very very intimate because this is another indication that the f.b.i. has not been doing their job and i have to wonder with so much money spent so much effort so much support that the f.b.i.

had under the previous administrations what. why would we do this because of that and why doesn't he take some responsibility he was in charge of this and he goes up there and said not that an f.b.i. has never age i know you're a person that's never lived in a congress before. this is a big one this is a really big well is that this is american security at stake and you're standing there going click click while they're pulling guns out match the big thing to kind of butt up for the debate about this is that you know is this another case where the f.b.i. had a direct hand in mitigating the violence to get a shot at the mayor when the. or. did it all went way way way up you know i mean komi i think later back george and said well we did make people aware there could have been something there within three hours and i'm going to be honest this is a controversial of the i think there was a lot of security and a lot of personnel there because i think people kind of expected something to happen it was drawn out of it because they were yeah they got additional nature

they expected protesters right more than any what's interesting is a lot of this information came out because of this kind of other you know generally involved a court case or adding to the one of the shooters simpson. and that's where it came up that the f.b.i. had been following simpson for years the agent you know had direct the undercover agent had direct contact with simpson routinely in the months leading up to the attack ads where you saw the tweet about simpson and they saved some of his law school. what not actually dealt with a previous undercover agent who. recorded like fifteen hundred hours a day their conversations actually drove the guy into salter because it broke so betrayed by the. now turned out to be agent to get another agent were going to go the undercover f.b.i. agent even used his cell phone you know several feet away from the building to film the secure the building security guard joiner seconds before he was shot by the extremists and then the guy who got picked up by

a girl i'm pretty hard to really was over they let him go in the hole was just it's a bizarre crazy story but the crazy thing is to it's not dissimilar from what we've seen before in other news of the f.b.i. was setting up somebody to take a terrorism you know we've seen this over and over and over again we've seen all of the f.b.i. traps it's a trap you know you're setting someone up you're giving them the idea joiners attorney trent roberts had told the washington examiner that it seems like it had to have been one or the other just a complete botched operation where the f.b.i. didn't want the attack to actually take place or it's something where they need the attack to take place and order for this guy the agent to advance in the world of isis the air went on to say about how he believes that the f.b.i. thought he's undercover and in order to advance he needed to get pictures or video of this attack and then that would bolster his street cred with ice this now first of all. now so interesting scenario boiler's you know i'm going to go

a no no no we just not do this like oh i got to get into this under the idea of like i want to be an undercover guy that's like being an undercover guy in anonymous you know you're not going to get any you know most them are going to now anyway that scares me that the idea of law enforcement especially f.b.i. are too busy trying to get pictures of terrorist attacks and the idea of like oh well he was doing this and can't make the case unless he's there you let people get hurt you let. man mr joyner let him get her they have a history of those the law was true but those that we've seen countless times over and over again over and over very i just i don't understand the idea it's like you want to keep people safe but then you put all those people at risk if they had gotten further in there are a lot of people have thought about it whether i completely disagree with their political ideology which i do this is this is the united states of america and those people have a right and a first amendment right and they should not be shot another to be

a single twist of this case to the boy or. the security guards burkett goes home to their home one of the kind of have a theory that some of the guns purchased by simpson may have actually been connected to the. various kind of the two so you see that in many different layers of this but we will definitely keep you posted as this case moves forward to see what is you know the truth from the pictures. a recent survey of one thousand americans on their media preferences and opinions of controversial subjects revealed that our suspicion of institutions fuels lingering myths casting their debunking into doubt which can be seen in their results not just by news outlet but by age group c. the news outlets perceived to be the biggest perv ayers of fake news were breitbart at the number one followed in descending order with fox news info war is the rush limbaugh show the glenn beck program buzz feed the sean hannity show c.n.n.

huff post and drudge report when asked if they believe that they had ever been tricked by fake news twenty two point two percent of baby boomers aren't sure if they have thirty two point three percent of minute millennialist think they would never open fold while fifty two point seven percent of us gen x. there's this method that probably or definitely we've been fooled and even though the administration and republicans have been going out of the so-called liberal. corporate news outlets the perception by the public is actually that conservative news out so loud let's are more likely to be spreading fake news can a society that prioritizes perception over evidence or lack thereof truly uphold the values of american democracy is a great question but i think the curious thing about it is like think that we are a society based completely on perception though over yeah so i mean i think we pretty much we we rather how we will believe the perception of something before the evidence is even coming of course and then when the evidence does commit it

challenges our perception there's no matter how it's nailed evidence of space everything that doesn't agree with our pokes holes in our ideas fake fake fake fake id you see this of both sides of political spite of the fear of the us i hold it as a single drop to the rest of the world i hope that we don't like. blood left or right we don't believe either side to matter what the scourge doesn't affect the rest of the planet of the web sphere well i think in some ways we are going we already sort of break up our everybody by conservative or liberal brother which i think is a real is a silly misnomer because you can not want the fad but also believe in feeding poor kids like these things are not there you know there's debris to school usually goes and i think that's where people are starting to realize they don't even live on either side of the people who fall for the most news according to this study were baby baby boomers which is run entirely surprising because they are people that didn't grow up with the internet they definitely came into it later in life

highest percentage of people the baby boomers the highest percentage of people that believe the white house this spreading fake name is sixty one point three percent so six and ten respondents said that they believe that the that they believe that the white house is spreading fake news which is interesting because that's the demographic that most favored. trump in the election and yet they're the most critical of news in general and the current administration. really fascinating as mary said and i doubt here's another thing that's interesting so when this poll kind of broke down the different channels and the and the people who watched those channels crit it found some really interesting factoids about these viewers like when your favorite when you ask somebody like what's your favorite news station what's you go to those the subs c.n.n. was their favorite channel fifty one point two percent of those people also believe the vaccines caused autism which is weird because c.n.n. totally tries to debug that every know that theory every time without constraint

even to have a discussion of exactly the fact that you know also thirty six point one percent of people say stephen is their favorite i don't think trump did collude with russia that's a low number for the amount of times they push that conspiracy and seventeen point two percent think hillary clinton was involved in the d.n.c. stabber southbridge is the so again like these are actually very bizarre numbers for people that claim to see it and they're fair go to channel does everybody saw it with their editorial line knowing right not all people watching at all and let's move over to the opposite fox news our box news forty six point nine percent think sandy hook was a hoax these are fox news people suboxone is their favorite channel sixty two port number something obama does birth certificate forty eight percent think or with clinton was involved in stuff which is that and thirteen percent then climate change is real only thirteen percent fifty one percent again vaccines cause autism now what's interesting is that i'm not going to debate or talk about any of those different like kind of i guess you'd call them conspiracy theories though i die for

controversial and that will still sounds weird fred to step back but what's interesting is that i'm not surprised by the fox news viewers belief systems but i am surprised by the c.n.n. belief systems which says to me that i don't think c.n.n. has the better care that audience that box news has now or the over the loyal audience that fox news has now i think it's one of those things that people go in and out of it right there isn't like an ideological home base for that it's interesting to note though on the. a lot of gen x. ers believe that and i think the reasoning for that or at least part of the reason for that is that if you're rich and x. or you were a teenager in the ninety's which is when the wakefield study that's been debunked that specific study was debunked and that's sort of the one that fed a lot of the vaccine movements first along that now that sort of attached to it so you see it's just that idea they heard it when they were doing that and then whether or not they ever sort of to get off vaccine issues that important issue

that i love talking out of the show as gary just how many people who are just like no but i want to know i believe ultimately one side or the other road because it's a good debatable issue that should be out there and should be not ignored by charles and should not ignore what he was told because i think there is some i think there is some some fire moves the smoke there terms of what's called war now but getting back to business which is really interesting too is when you look at party affiliation yeah sixty three point three percent believe the of democrats when you look at democrats they believe that climate change is real and fifty three point six percent believe trump colluded with russia. earlier an interesting thing about the collusion. of all those people the watchers and none of them could break the fifty percent no of all the water that davis on both sides have in liberal or a centrist news stations like me and i'm in south it doesn't matter everybody fifty is fifty. all right as we go to a clock watchers don't forget to let us know what you think the topics you cover on facebook and twitter see our poll shows that are to god come coming up we present

sean stone's interview with famed pentagon papers was the war daniel ellsberg and merivale will discuss how the real history of the vietnam war is still being watered down and already written more than fifty years later don't want to miss that interview so stay tuned for watching the full. rejected tonight it's a comedy show called if not the fact by the corporate media. would you go after the corporations that just more your lives profit over people at every turn. redact

it's not for me it's like medicine it's like a cancer joke from all the stress that the news puts you under redacted tonight is a show where you can go to cry from laughing about the stuff that's going on in the world as opposed to just regular crying we're going to find out what the corporate mainstream media is not telling you about how we're going to filter it through some satirical comedic lenses to make it more digestible that's what we do every week hard hitting radical comedy news like redacted tonight is where it's at. least in the in the long. run though what a. total room go to. not even the. oh your ego to. move for your.

project the american middle class so it's been a real road by washington politics. big money for you that's thrown down a lot of boards that's how we use them in the culture in this country now that's where i come in. i'm michel i don't argue america i'll make sure you don't get railroad you'll get the straight talk in the straight. to. claiming anywhere between three and four million deaths the vietnam war was one of the most brutal and here in world history and back to the entire region of southeast asia for decades after it ended the shaping of an entire generation of americans no war has arguably had more of an imprint on our society but to this

very day it is tragically underestimated just how many lies and fabrications went into the realization and marketing of this vast conflict and how many lives could have been saved had truth prevailed over politics but the most significant victim of our distorted understanding of history isn't just the ideal of truth it's the lessons we miss as we repeat our historic mistakes over and over again to take a deeper dive into the untouched lessons of the vietnam war and a recent documentary about the war by ken burns shawn stone recently spoke with daniel ellsberg form of military analyst turned whistleblower who released the very famous pentagon papers unsuccessfully prosecuted under the espionage act ellsberg leak revealed years of lies under the kennedy and johnson administrations the feasibility and predicted outcomes of the vietnam war and led in part to the war's end elaine. mark first amendment decision by the supreme court and president nixon's fateful decision to create the secret leaking taskforce that

a year later was caught breaking into the watergate hotel here is what mr ellsberg had to say about recent coverage of vietnam and what we may need to correct in our collective record. words they used in the film right at the beginning and in the book which i've just received. are inexcusable they didn't actually use the word intentions all that was clearly implied they said the war was begun in good faith by decent man whatever that means i can't think of a meaning of good faith the would apply to any of the man who began the war it was very clearly a support of a french attempt violently to reconquer the country of a colony that had declared its independence in the summer of one thousand nine hundred five the us supported that effort for various reasons and by nine hundred fifty was paying eighty percent of the cost of the war so it was not just a french war it was a french american war and that's the way most vietnamese understood it at the time

there was nothing in our tradition or our constitution our declaration of independence any anything that made that good faith and indeed the real nature of that war was obscured from the country just as it was later there's no way of calling as they did call that phase of the war a civil war was the french american war a civil war it was an attempt to impose a century and imperial or a colonial regime on a country that wanted independence the war later on the next period of the war from fifty four fifty five on again was an american war essentially to call it a civil war is absurd as they don't call it a war in which one side is entirely paid equiped directed basically by a foreign power is not a civil war they i think they were misled by the fact that there were vietnamese on

both sides some vietnamese specifically the ones who may have called it a civil war to some degree. they were the ones who had fought for the french against the independence of their country for various motives and essentially those were the same officers and many of the same men who came south and fought under the americans and other foreign power and some of them may sincerely have felt they were fighting against countrymen communists who were they and they didn't want to communist regime others simply wanted the pay or the family physician or whatever of working for foreigners and a very small minority of the nation against the independence of their country which was something desired by virtually all vietnamese nearly all vietnamese although they would not all have fought for it to the degree that the communist would nationalist movement did fight for so it was

a war that that resulted from american policy we preferred the we the u.s. government of which i was part at one time preferred there to be a war a continuous basically stalemated war endless rather than a peace which amounted to a unified country almost surely eventually under communist leadership and we didn't want that so we imposed essentially a war on the vietnamese. and in terms of imposing that war on the vietnamese the documentary also was just sort of quasi as over the gulf of tonkin and the idea that they espouse in the documentary is that we essentially retaliated for being attacked in the gulf of tonkin which i think most serious historians have dismissed that there was no attack by north vietnam against america but could you a listen at this point. you know i've heard people what should who got the

impression that the film said that there was an attack that was in my impression watching it i'm not sure on that that would of course have been a total lie and absolutely wrong there was no attack on august fourth the supposedly attack with the claimed attack to which we responded with on was a ninety five or sixty five sixty four perhaps sorties that individual flights bombing against north vietnam supposedly against an attack on our destroyers which if it had occurred would not have been as johnson president johnson claimed unprovoked there had been just before that covert aggressive attacks on north vietnam by resources p.t. boats and others that were entirely directed to only run by the cia but i was in american attack essentially using cruise by the way from all over asia the philippines korea some from vietnam but it was

a cia attack which we were aware and the north vietnamese were aware had they responded as they did by the way on august second to that they had responded to such an attack and johnson chose not to retaliate quote to that because it would raise the question of the provocation we've made when there were we thought initially there was a similar attack on august fourth he did prepare to retaliate and although uncertainties emerged before the attack occurred great on the certainties. and in fact there had been no attack nevertheless the president went ahead with it and that was the beginning of bombing campaign against north vietnam which was suspended for the duration of the campaign because the president was running against a more hawkish opponent senator goldwater general goldwater in the air force reserve who wanted to really. by me against north vietnam johnson wanted to be the peace

candidate and want to great mandate on that. issue among a couple of others for not widening the war as he promised we seek no wider war that was a lie he foresaw a wider war he intended a wider war and he carried it out in the spring after which we bombed we dropped four times almost four times as many bombs tonnage on indochina as we had in all of world war two. and we did this against this one region of indochina largely largely in the south actually but also in the north of vietnam and in laos and vietnam which we've been part of french indochina so it was a a major crime against the peace by the united states. and speaking of this. this bombing in the overall war profiteering that occurred it

strikes me that a documentary like burns's is unable to actually address a large aspect of history because the corporate sponsorship that's in place from everything from ford foundation to bank of america and other corporations almost prohibits real history from discussing who profited as far as we know understand the military industrial complex that exists and its relationship of major finance with the arms industry and out obviously other businesses that are involved in the making of war. you know. it's often said by only in the north you're dummies writer says in the film plausibly no one wins or loses in a war that's not quite true chords the vietnamese in the end won their independence at very great cost but in the united states to say that no one wins is misleading the arms industry and the financial industry and so forth but the that supports

them but the military industrial complex in general profited very highly from the war the we lost tremendous number of helicopters more than a thousand i would say and those had to be replaced and were replaced at a profit to the makers some of whom by the way had faced bankruptcy virtually before the war and in profit very heavily from the war that's a factor in congressional tolerance of a war like that because there are jobs and profits and campaign contributions in almost every state of the union in such an operation. we've known for a while that now that it's laser focused on finding humans to mars but the how is of course much more complicated to know why a mars mission poses an overwhelming. challenges and problem among them is how to protect astronauts from the copious amounts of radiation the encounter on such

a long trip through outer space but now we're beginning to get some answers and that's the appears to be approaching this problem creatively to say the least and the risk of at london this chief technologist douglas terrier dropped a hint that the agency is considering gene modifications to allow astronauts to endure the extreme levels of radiation they'd encounter on that trip to mars of course this raises a plot of ethical questions but nevertheless it's a fascinating prospect that nasa bio engineers believe they may actually be able to make a human resistant to radiation by slightly altering their d.n.a. i mean whether or not we create a mutated species of astronaut humans however remains to be seen because the mars missions only scheduled to happen close to twenty thirty but double that would you get your d.n.a. mutated to go to bars. without a shot over though not so i will i'm ready to go. i don't know i don't know i'd be able to leave them with the mars which is you can come back when it's a one way ticket with right it's a one way ticket

a lot can happen between now and twenty thirty that's true that's true we'll see what happens already. they remember everyone in this world we are not told that we are above the sword so you will i love you i am i robot tap with a lot of people watching all those hawks out there and i have a great night everybody. would you have for breakfast yesterday why would you put. your wife. now i did you do due to. mark twain said it's easier to rule the world than to convince them they've been fooled that could be why america is so. divided because people have been fed feed the new need for by corporate interests they beat you down until you believe their fairy tales well

here's a story. and it's. fiction. welcome to exacted tonight v.i.p. i'm leak am today my guest is someone i view as. being of a legend he wrote the new york times bestseller confessions of an economic hit man and it was one of the earliest books to wake me up to the fact that the united states has a colossal economic empire along with its military empire that force is

struggling countries to drown in debt basically a futile system of nations that is responsible for the death and suffering of millions of people over generations if other nations refuse to take on our economic peonage that we offer them on our own on a silver platter then we try to bribe their leaders then if that doesn't work we threaten their leaders and if that doesn't work sometimes those leaders are assassinated in confessions of an economic hitman john perkins revealed his role in that process a role he is now sickened by today nowadays he works tirelessly to help create a better world one built on on life and peace rather than death and war here's my conversation with john perkins.
