signs but but what happens after the streets what where it where you know where does the activism go you know after after the protest. yeah i mean i think there is this difference that tween sort of. generating power and then wielding that power and i think. for people who are brand new often there can be some conflict confusion and dissonance and you think well if we start to engage in the political process then we must be selling out or we must be somehow if all you have is a stylistic sort of activism like wait we went from the streets and now we're you know sitting down across from someone who could actually make this policy a reality but we're inside the outside we must be traitors really selling out but really if you care about the transformation that you want to see happen you can't be focused on us then you can't be focused on well you know we're now sitting down across from a police officer we're sitting down across from you know an elected official or somebody who works for an oil company that that can't if you if you say that that's off limits then you're not actually serious about implementing the change you want

to see eventually if what enough people come to this place and there's active popular support for any cause you're going to have the opportunity to wield the power and make the change that you've so desperately been fighting for as we go to break watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered and to learn more about today's featured artist check us out on facebook twitter and you tube and see our poll shows that are t.v. dot com coming up the loan doesn't stop as the flobots return to the stage is watching the hawks strikes a cord. cutters survival stakes in just the start. of the. repatriations

. i am. i am. if those of us who are truly seeking connection can just be curious about somebody else's pay as opposed to denying it. it will go a long way as right now we have very much gotten in the habit of those debates that we're having i think it's does them a great i think it holds them too high to even call them debates right i think which is that they're just roving castigation us and but if we can.

if we can at least. like why are you like you're hurting you're actually hurting so tell me about that. when i used to teach elementary school like a kid came up to me crying the first thing i don't say is i don't say like that doesn't hurt if i were to do that i would redouble the damage of what that child is feeling and that's what i think we're doing as adults is like right off the bat we're denying the pain and specifically with certain backgrounds and certain groups which is like no you don't have access to pain i think the left does that very well . and i think as a strategy. it's flawed. and if some of us can at least be curious i think there's a lot of information if we treat pain as information we're going to learn something as opposed to denying the entire reality of existence of somebody by saying that

they don't have access to it one of the songs on our album rattle the cage is trying to speak to the fact that when we get so caught up in being right and making sure that our narrative is dominant we can become utterly dehumanized so that when you'll have a terrorist attack for example you know you have you have something an act of violence that happens this act of violence happens and all we know is that there's been real people who lost their lives and without knowing anything else you go to social media and the first battle you see is who's narrative does this fit like i guarantee you this is going to be a x. y. z. which will fit my narrative and all of you guys are going to see that you were wrong this whole time and you get permutations of that from every direction and it's really grotesque that we get to the point where we're so excited that we might be proven correct by an act of violence that it's going to fit our narrative that we don't even bother to say whatever just happened this was tragic people lost their lives we just jump straight to this you guys are going to finally understand

i'm right and that's really grotesque. one thing that's exciting for me to think about is what we really mean when we say we. you know in the united states there's a tendency to say well. you know x. y. z. is happening we have to do something and there's it's very easy to just say we think that we means you know the military of our of our particular state but there's a different we there's women all over the world who are dealing with patchy arche wherever they are and these women can work in solidarity with one another as women and be transformative in every single country that they're in it'll be a different fight it will be a different front but it's the same battle and i think that on an even more human level just. you know the world is so disproportionately filled with young people in any country where there's an oppressive regime or just oppressive laws or you know unsustainable practices there are young people that are looking around at everything and saying there's synthesizing and saying how can i transform this and

at times i'm sure that feels like a very lonely operation and people feel like they're the only one but i guarantee you you're not the only one there's people in every single country with very similar aspirations and dreams and people who are deeply loved the community that they're from people who are deeply don't want to see tradition just like set aside but want to also carve a new path forward and so you know for those people that we've met that we've had the privilege of meeting when we're touring and traveling we know that to be true but we also know there's just countless people that we've never met or never heard from and it's those voices those on heard voices that as they start to lift and rise and be more and more heard that's what's going to transform the planet in this day and age where even the word fact is so hotly debated i don't think beauty is so i would say if we can pair any of our outrage any of our anger our fear with beauty where possible because it's

a medium that will transmit. i think if you if you shout at someone they are conditioned to not listen to you if you shout beautifully which we call singing you're making an emotional argument that is much harder to deny so i think in some ways i know it's easy to say but i think seeking beauty is revolutionary right now . i can ride my bike with no handlebars goal head to bars no handle bars i can ride my bike with no handlebars go handlebars no way don't voters in the look at me hands in the hammock it's good to be a law a bit of

that is our show for you today remember everyone in this world we are told we are

loved and up so i tell you all i love you i am tyrrel ventura and i'm top of the lalas keep on watching those hawks and i'm a great day and night everyone. if you want to so what still good old you see the syrian. rebels if you feel what you said and alas it takes a teacher to products it you speak. what if they like it or not i got to have a visit with the police. put out free today if they're still going to the business world open up. and open it up maybe we can open it up to start to put. hello my name's peter and i've been living in bushnell for about seven years and this is a film about just some of the crazy things i've got in the time. i

get. a let me just published or do it because. i still did not skip a significant od. clean. through the prejudice. the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a.

is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in and it's been a struggle. to get this man found his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing and nowhere to go. you know having some like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution. tiny house on a parking space is not a solution you're. someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. i had a great education a good job and a family that loved me. i never had to worry about how i would eat somewhere i would sleep. i'm facing christmas alone out on the streets of london. well you look

at. a clip of italy like you go to school you know just simulate it still give up food for the over the. earth. but you don't really feel like you can be you know. and then. the guy just came over to me saw me and gave me this book.

we are taught to tremendous courage of the iranian people washington throws its support behind the anti government uprising now in iran threatening sanctions over any attempts to suppress the unrest. infuriated muslims across the middle east over jerusalem status the u.s. president now considers cutting aid to palestinians and accuses them of not wanting to talk peace. but pushing each other's buttons donald trump the north korean leader trade barbs over the size and power of the nuclear arsenal.

of moscow four pm you know it is wednesday kevin know it with a with this news bulletin thanks being with us tens of thousands of government supporters are running across around to denounce the violent protests that have been gripping the country thus far at least twenty one people have died in clashes over the last seven days the demonstrations assaults have been triggered first off by widespread economic hardship on the prospect of a fuel price hike but then they quickly became political in nature with protesters calling for the deaths of the country's leaders ballance that erupted in several towns with police posts attacked by the protesters in the last several days there's been more than four hundred fifty arrests and to run alone the trumpet ministration meantime is now threatening to impose sanctions if iran fails to respond to the rest in a way that washington deems appropriate. don't get ahead of sanctions but that is one tool kit we are watching reports very carefully of any potential human rights abuses of these protesters who are protesting peacefully we are now seeing an

organic popular uprising organized organized by brave iranian citizens on the largest scale since two thousand and nine the united states supports the iranian people and we call on the regime to respect its citizens basic right to peacefully express their desire for change we as people into around them what they thought about these protests and they encourage money coming from abroad. given that that i feel that if people's economic problems were addressed these accidents would never happen or you know if someone from the government came and spoke to them these incidents would not escalate. get only the cost of living unemployment the lack of attention to people authorities say that this problem started with a surge in the prices of basic food supplies. we need to. know who says time for change should think and be worried about their own

country and the rainiest should think about their country everybody should start by trying to make progress at home. i don't think trump should interfere in our country's issues i don't think our issues are any of his business. the u.s. is also calling for an international response to the rest of the country sabera card from d.c. has more details on. the us has firmly voiced its support for the anti-government movement baster nikki haley has even called for an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council to discuss the ongoing situation it takes great bravery for the iranian people to use the power of their voice against their government if the iranian dictatorships history is any guide we can expect more outrageous abuses in the days to come the un must speak out iran's president has come out in defense of peaceful protests but the supreme leader believes the foreign powers are to blame

let's check out what was said. that the enemy is waiting for an opportunity for a crack it can infiltrate president trump kicked off the new year unleashing a stream of tweets on the issue accusing iran of corruption human rights violations and spending its wealth on terrorism and of course the israeli government has followed suit even going on to say that the iranians and israelis will be friends once the regime forces but what's even more surprising is that israel faces the same discontent some anti-government protests and some over promise recognition of jerusalem as its capital but what did nikki haley have to say about this now you saw strong when it comes to the freedom and dignity of their union people who have but you have different meaning of freedom and dignity when it comes to the palestinian people will be to have been brutalized for over fifty years of occupation the palestinians now have to show their world they want to come to the table as of now they're not coming to the tape. not that they asked for aid why not giving aid we're going to make sure that they come to the table and we want to move

forward with the peace process so just heard there the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. has revealed trump's plans to stop funding a u.n. agency that is giving aid to palestinian refugees shortly after the u.s. leader himself suggested cutting donations to the palestinian administration is the tweet in this tweet he claims that despite giving them hundreds of millions of dollars a year he said they show no appreciation or respect to the states for it trump also suggested cutting aid because according to him the palestinians weren't willing to talk peace with israel however that's something that the israeli policy that the palestinian ministration rather doesn't agree with at all the president's office says that you can see here that jerusalem is not for sale and they're not backing away from any negotiations and quote where not to stress too that they should be based on international law and last year let's look at the palestinian authority received around three million dollars in aid from the u.s. to add more of three point one quite a sum you'll agree but that pales in comparison with that three billion dollars

that israel received from washington there's the two figures ramzi broods who's sort of the palestine chronicle told us the u.s. move to cut aid is nothing short of bullying. i don't think it is i think it is part of the. policy that has been followed by the trump administration for months now and it's a policy that is called the needed sort very well with the israeli government the tweet was also joined by a statement made by any leader u.s. ambassador to the united nations that she says forthright that we will not be giving money to on the u.n. and refugee agency that is that equated to helping millions of palestinian refugees in palestine and in refugee camps across the middle east if this is not a form or bullying it's not a form of intimidation then what is it palestine north korea all have been on the

receiving end of donald trump's twitter outbursts of late as the u.s. president continues to pioneer is own unique brand of social media diplomacy but now says he goes down off explains his post could have some serious consequences to go christmas the new year even the seasonal holidays haven't put the brakes on trump's twitter train in twenty teen pakistan got its first. united states has foolishly given pakistan moving thirty three billion dollars in aid over the last fifteen years and they have given us nothing but lies and deceit thinking of our leaders as fools they give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in afghanistan with little help no more no love lost their trumps administration has been walloping pakistan for months but it's not like anything in particular happened on monday to trigger the backlash but to say this tweet got a slam about an age would be an understatement three ministers including the prime minister the army the navy and air force chiefs all converged for an emergency

security meeting following trump's post the u.s. ambassador was summoned for an explanation as protesters burnt american flags in the streets then. it was the turn of iran one of the biggest thorns in donald trump's side. iran is failing at every level despite the terrible deal made with them by the bammer ministration the great iranian people have been repressed for many years they are hungry for food and for freedom along with human rights the wealth of iran is being looted time for change these lawmakers public has been erupting in rallies and bryant says people have been swarming the streets both against and in support of the government people died the tweet hasn't gone unnoticed in iran urging against the violence president rouhani denied to trump the right to sympathize with the nation well when done with the middle east trump couldn't help but pay the classic twitter tribute to his one and only rocket man.

sanctions and other pressures are beginning to have an impact on north korea soldiers are dangerously fleeing to south korea rocket man now wants to talk to south korea for the first time perhaps that's good news perhaps not we will see well apparently this was donald trump's knee jerk reaction to south korea offering to hold high level talks with the north after pyongyang suggested the countries should meet to discuss the next olympics it's not government policy it's the. ravings of a person who speaks before thinking tweets before thinking in a one way or hope that the people on the receiving end of these things would take them with a grain of salt because. you know trump may say those things but he can't act on them because he's got a whole bureaucracy behind him that doesn't agree with them so. it's

very destabilizing and i think it's undermining u.s. ability to negotiate solutions to problems so whatever policy donald trump is. concocting stirring trouble on twitter is something that is going to stay if it is done of r.t. yeah as it was said they have all the world's leaders north korea's kim jong un has been most targeted by trump's tweets of late after one of his most recent posts and development on it tell you about in the battle of words it descended into insults about the size and power of the nuclear buttons. the entire us mainland is within the range of our nuclear strike and the button is always on the table in my office space you clearly know that this is certainly not a threat but rather a reality or someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that i too have a nuclear button but it's a much bigger and more powerful were.
