9:01 am

the removal suppression and restriction of circulation of literary works or educational materials is known as book censorship and it's not a part of american culture since the mayflower so the governor of plymouth william bradford charge that thomas morton had to compose sundry rhymes and verses some tending to listen to as miss morton was eventually banished by the puritan colony and for his actions at sixteen twenty eight really four hundred years later we're still holding on to those puritan beliefs that words can poison the soul that must be contained hidden or even destroyed and twenty six email is office for intellectual freedom found that over half of all books banned in us schools libraries and universities are by authors of color and contained ideas that are outside of the perceived mainstream and those brain twisting propaganda pieces threatening the minds of the nation use their books like the color purple by alice walker beloved by toni morrison the autobiography of malcolm x.
9:05 am
and i know way that caged bird sings by maya angelou classics by some of the greatest american authors ever yet begun and in many modern public schools for fear it will offend or confuse parents and students as someone rushed the one said what is freedom of expression without the freedom to offend it ceases to exist to help us understand this a little deeper is also a professor do you walk in here to welcome what you guys down to the good good are you i want to start and ask you what what is deep what can you know what what are your favorite bad books what's your list sort of watching say would you know what your top three top five but books that they should go out and read so it would definitely be the autobiography of malcolm. i think it's such an important book educator you can give your kids this books on this amazing journey show them the many different transformations he went through and you compare it with a movie so as a reward for so that would definitely be number one on the lesson the next would be
9:06 am
color purple you know the same thing like these these are brilliant brilliant stories written by a brilliant people and. we only hurt people when we keep the truth for we from them yes we do yes we do it's first as you guys know because the truth teller that's what we tried every day to get in trouble every author and i mean. it's very easy because when i look at these books i'm looking at this list and i'm thinking i read that some great i read that high school i read this in college these were books that were you know i guess we weren't maybe not as sensitive in the eighty's and ninety's and kids weren't able to handle it and i think that's the weird part what what you know how did these books banned books affect kids who either aren't reading books because hard to get kids to read a lot of times or getting them but also when they have parents who don't or can't read how does the ending these books make it even harder how does that affect kids especially children of color who aren't seen books that reflect that so you know
9:07 am
a long time ago before the twitter instagram and even television right there were books now that kind of. people the most wealthy people always had the best lovers they had the books they had the knowledge they could take that knowledge. develop strong critical thinking skills in the world and to use those skills to give everyone else their realities it's the same thing the only difference now books way more sensible now we are taught that we hate reading when i was a kid i thought i hate reading. it wasn't you know wasn't common to see books like huckleberry finn and tom sawyer next you know next to the old banana pill running in a dumpster writing this is nothing as mark twain but there was so many contemporary books when i was going to school in the ninety's. coming up you know going to school and then it was so many there was so many books that spoke to my experience and even like the early two thousand where if i was in high school and you gave me
9:08 am
a book like made me want to holler i would have read it if you would gave me the code as one of my sister soldier i would have read it but instead you've given us books that you know we can't connect with and we never develop those critical thinking skills so we're just like the people from back in the eight hundred we're walking around with heads full of someone else's ideas and it's dangerous and it's very dangerous it's very very dangerous you know and it's interesting people's reactions to things that they don't want other people to read or don't understand themselves and people see something they don't understand keep away from it scares me yeah right i don't like it and that kind of leads into the i think a pub big part of the banning of books i don't understand it i don't like it and it might influence some of the wrong way it's that idea of like you know is reading the n. word in huckleberry finn going to make someone a racist you know is the fear of you know that fear of profanity and challenging people's beliefs more of just the kind of trickle down of the peer country that the united states was founded upon as we forget that we forget we're very puritan
9:09 am
religious you know dogma you know of any of criticism of of the standard or that. the standard of the was punished and you still see it today it's like oh this group of people shouldn't. you know that shouldn't be that way or see these things in this group people should see this exhibit you don't know what there was as you brought it huckleberry finn and that's when it gets brought out because they might get confused if they read this and you might not understand but i learned a lot about race from reading not all fairy phantom events that great teacher in the library asserted too late now ok so you ban it back when you know people have taken a lot from it and then when it becomes old and outdated you try to feed it to these young people who've already moved on this the schools right now giving kids the scarlet letter these kids already are having sex and paying for abortions and making a bit like this is a whole different to think about it think about it like this. when we were kids
9:10 am
right if you were going to like do something like you know like you know you could buy community magazine or something like that right so you can sense it that you can control their had to work really really hard to see that you had to really yes to your older brother just collection thank you to get a boy or somebody you know serious business now these kids click a phone everything's instant so why are we trying to censor their experiences when they can really get their hands on everything that any any and everything and. again we're not doing anything but hurting them because it it you because they're not they're not going to be able to function and never get to decide if they don't get those skills and sort of that idea of like having a bubble around. i mean one hundred schools let me just say you know like my book has been the beside has been and a lot of schools because of profanity right i've been to these schools and these kids have said curse words that i've never even heard that al i'm learning stuff again everything in this country evolves right i myself own isn't the same phone
9:11 am
from like a week ago was education still stuck in the now you know and then we complain about these low test scores it's interesting because when you mentioned earlier you know people started you know those people had libraries and they held that information back to them they could filter that information out right there. the most education read the most and filled with i wonder if that's what we're seeing now with this kind of crackdown the freedom of information on the internet you know where you see kind of like everyone kind of suddenly jumping on to this all we need to rein in social media we need to rein in this because we just really dangerous silly people experience a social mobility ok then you know that you cannot have these kinds of things that women are getting this idea that they shouldn't be harassed and run i don't know what her thoughts are that kind of you know getting all it literally was day that we were certain he had literally dangerous for you know the poor and minorities to learn too much because then they will become men now if we get smart you know we don't how poor people want to think take. yeah you know let me guess smart will
9:12 am
realize hey you know we're not the same color we don't have the same experience but we can link together and we can build something to combat the top one percent yeah that's what you're staying capitalism you must make sure that groups of people are systemically generationally oppressed yeah and if you do that you always have people to sell products to again like i said my whole thing you know what this whole this journey of fighting for for a fair critical thinking skills for everyone is about you know the first book i fell in love with i did like i said i thought i had a reading someone gave me the coldest want to ever do i love the reading that's simple and i'm so happy for you guys you know and you know it's interesting my dad handed me the malcolm x. book when i was about thirteen years old so breed this you know and one of the reasons he did which i think we don't give young people in your work with kids a lot we don't give young people of credit they part of the idea is that we have to
9:13 am
teach them the shades of grey of not only historical figures and people given for these not know not to say it's not that they say it's a great but you know i mean you have to be able to teach them that it's more than just right or wrong history is more than just this is what happened this was right this is wrong of us back then yet we have to teach them a thousand different perspectives so that when they can build their own properly correct about how powerful is control the way you look at history in this country you know you guys were slaves and did not making much in the rosa parks and i am because i was tired and i barack obama ran for president that's african-american history right there whatever i'm out now you're pretty good at that same thing when you go when his history you know like when they we got one day there was suffrage there was candy stand and she passed a bottle susan b. anthony i think and before you knew it they got together one over hillary clinton and now this one is history and oh yeah the man and she's a walk ahead like me to a product like this and this is what you this is what we've given our children and we have to constantly. fight that we have to because if we don't the same problems
9:14 am
that we see play going to the country the year in the year i was going to get through to happen we really got to do something about it that's what history's always repeating itself is about over the weekend because you see you know and i can't i can't stress enough to folks books are still the most powerful one of the most powerful tools of learning we have because it does put you know i would never know in your life experience had i not read the book that you wrote you know and it's more powerful even than what i'm saying on t.v. because t.v. is just a box of magic and doesn't actually have the depth the books hold and it's the same thing because the color purple really was moved as one of us by the first books i read it in eighth grade when i was thirteen years old and it's made me realize it was the struggle of women in understanding black women struggle and understanding a lot of things i didn't and that's the need that sisters all of these so these books were transformed with an amazing right but there's all these brand new contemporary by young people who reflect the communities that we were to where kids
9:15 am
a bit educated that could be used this is right is a whole how you know who go to read about the do from well how you know what a woman from ohio had a rough house away she has a right to. say we're going to have as i said thank you so much always when i always a pleasure walker's author and professor and speaker. at age forty four a sit on was a doting father grandfather and the last male northern white rhino alive on earth after falling ill from old age she was euthanized yesterday giving the world more and more species around the world face an increasingly brutal relationship with human society once roaming the african plains and thousand strong herds of beautiful engine species that's now cut down to just sit on the daughter and granddaughter to thanks to decades of stunningly organized poaching efforts and an ill fated belief held in some strains of asian medicine that the horns contents hold the cure for cancer and hangovers. conservationists though remain cautiously
9:16 am
optimistic hoping that raising public awareness can still save other species from extinction and that sudan's frozen and well kept sperm can one day still be used to bring the northern white right now back to life i hope so because i hate to see these animals lost to the pages of history where we can only read about them and let's see them are about is our show for you today remember everyone in this world we're not told where love develops so i tell you all i love you i am i robot and on top of the wall keep on watching those hawks that would read and write of. the most expensive fish in the world each one selling for the tens of thousands of euros it continues to grow its entire life if it was thirty years old you might have a two ton fish out there and yet they don't get that big today because we're way
9:17 am
too good at catching. it's only women themself a much larger population was once there and that was much more widely distributed we have politicians that are in office for a few years they have to get reelected everything is very very short term our system is not suited and is not geared for long term survival and that's why we have the catastrophe so you have. well you know the fire thing we kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i've been there in the small ball of sticks you don't harp on here and it's just. not. the little self to be told these already ninety percent of the dart gun and it won't become their. concept fifteen scopes seventy five tons they do it several times
9:18 am
a day. with the big fleet oh you get an idea. we have to understand we can all stay still and just. be witness of the deal because. i'm doing this because i want the future world to future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. it would appear the more the political left and their allies in the corporate media kept donald trump the more we learn about the corrupt behavior of the deep state the firing of andrew mccabe at the f.b.i. is a case in point is this the beginning of a perfect. how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being
9:19 am
a king as any job there is one business model helps to run a prison now we do this do or don't like us here nobody obeys the case and they don't no one comes in anymore we don't have to serve them anymore it's the directive. to do that they don't give a damn if you do the job very badly painted to put it back into the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u.s.n. bridge what she could is behind such success. few. few.
9:20 am
9:21 am
the punishment. welcome to the program here on the international. the editorial team. delete facebook has been trending on social media after it was revealed that the tech giant failed to protect the data of millions of users from being used for political purposes the scandal involves a data gathering cold cambridge and a little it worked with multiple u.s. presidential campaigns including donald trump's and reportedly harvested the details of as many as fifty million facebook profiles for its operations the
9:22 am
company is now under investigation and has even suspended its chief executive. has the story. political campaigns have changed they're no longer about running the most t.v. spots or spending the most money they're about to spend the smartest money finally a political communications company that really knows how to pitch and then they came rich and it's a house prestigious and academic connotations to again very convincing small money must mean smart ideas writes we have a unique extra layer of data about personality decisionmaking and motivation this creates an unparalleled rich and detailed view of voters in the issues they care about so you know exactly who to target with exactly what type of message cambridge and it's good time they can do all this with a mix of data analysis and strategic communication that carlist is want to boast about trump cruise costs and the list goes on so impressed so far but how exactly
9:23 am
do cambridge and its a cat's ha get votes is a company now accused of using the private data of tens of millions of facebook users to directly target potential american voters facebook is under growing pressure to explain how to protect americans personal information from people wanting to exploit it for electoral gain data analytics firm that harvested information from millions of americans without their permission tricked by tens and conditions wow suddenly doesn't seem so impressive especially when you end up in the legal feud with the social media giants and it tends outs cambridge on earth to have a not small skeletons in their closet according to britain's channel four news and they're on the cover investigation they posed as potential clients interested in the outcome of the share lankan elections last month they found cambridge on the list because secretly works to influence over two hundred elections worldwide and the tactics would so squeaky clean the two fundamental human drivers when it comes
9:24 am
to taking information on board effectively our hopes and fears and many of those unspoken and even unconscious. it's no good fighting an election campaign on the facts because actually it's all about emotion but that's not what cambridge i mean with cut publicly admits of course publicly they say that advertising is not coercive they'd also tell you they never use any ditty tactics boss you mentioned intelligence gathering as well as parts of the mix didn't you yes we have relationships and partnerships with specialist organizations that do that kind of work you know who the opposition is you know their secrets you know their tactics since some girls around to the candidates house we have lots of history of such things with years of practice cambridge and then let's go have become real prize that having the result they want if we are working and then we can set up fake
9:25 am
i.d.'s and websites we can go in as students doing research projects attached to university we can be tourists there's so many options we can look at i've had lots of experience in this at cambridge i'm a little we are creating the future of political campaigning. so it's a story with twists tens of action meddling in the minds of voters using data tricks but something is missing oh and the narrative that russia must be behind it all now that it's an impressive result. and donald trump's campaign was not the first to use facebook today to a gathering for political purposes a former official on barack obama's campaign revealed how in twenty twelve tain't much more personal information than their republican rivals carol davis and that it was all thanks to loopholes in facebook's privacy terms at the time. facebook twenty five election we got people to opt in the privacy policies of that time on facebook worried that if they opted in they could tell us who all their friends
9:26 am
were where this gets complicated is that freaks facebook out. so they shut off the feature so that is out there you can take it back to the democrats have this information we invite here to richard good to you know former adviser to hillary clinton's campaign as well as legal and media analyst lionel to discuss with of the political use of social media inside america is more dangerous than the claims of potential foreign interference. looks like it's undisputed that they did things that either were clearly against the law campaign finance laws the involvement of foreigners and u.s. election campaigns let alone kind of the moral approach of basically pretending to be something that they weren't. so they either clearly would over the line or they they went right up to it and i think that's what investigators where the state attorneys general i'm sure congress will look into it whether this justice department looks into it because donald trump was the beneficiary of his campaign
9:27 am
that they worked with i wouldn't exactly hold my breath on that happening the entire point is being missed here is not cambridge analytic is the fact that facebook is a tool a proxy if you will of that government and it's a surveillance unit it was conceived it through darpa through seed money this this faith oh do you think they use the information against there are you kidding me facebook apple everything that we do is basically sucking up every bit of information we have where has the world big you're living in and the pan optic on and when barak obama was the beneficiary of facebook data i'll be it not cold and a good being by these characters like especially don't forget legs and in
9:28 am
action american you say that and that immediately turns that's the dog whistle went missing the point this is about a surveillance world that we live in that's being utilized by everybody constantly look we've already had facebook why publicly about what they did and didn't know they finally had to come clean right because i actually think they have a bit of a guilty conscience having worked with the. campaign to do things that are frankly kind of un-american so you know we'll see i understand that's the kind of party line which is whatever whatever the russian box may have done was to war by you know this large things we'll see what did they do that was un-american what well again they paid they they ran messages that pitted blacks against whites they got under the skin of blacks because some of them claim that they were white for coming after them and vice versa you are telling me that all the sudden the russians are who are the russians is the russian government that lattimer putin is at the
9:29 am
kremlin some guy with a russian name who are these russians so let me get this straight we we had prayed president bar barak obama who basically went and absolutely not only colluded with but actively campaigned against bibi netanyahu no problem then he went we guarding brags that he said you're going to be waiting in the queue with you down or if you vote for braggs it may be also way actually involved himself in the scottish independence movement as well so we we don't seem to care about this and i can't believe it that we have gone from that to this gayety miniscule didn't move him in miss microstamping buying a facebook ad and somebody is going to say oh wait a minute hold it i was going to vote for hillary clinton but now where i just how did you say that facebook ad that said i mean really this is that with all due
9:30 am
respect this is the best the russians have facebook if lionel is of the view that all those billions of dollars that spent worldwide on advertising on news channels like our teacher and others is just absolutely just wasting money to say you might as well throw it out the window if that's your attitude then obviously i'm not going to persuade him or anybody who believes that that by you know that's what he's going to affect anybody's opinion light oh no she's me i didn't really know what that. so i said my point is my point is my point is that yes i think facebook should be ashamed of itself because the evidence seems to be that it knew exactly what it was what its role in this was and in a sense it was kind of facilitating this in the interest of making a buck and i think that's wrong. you arms deals became the main topic of the talks between the saudi crown prince and the u.s. president on tuesday and donald trump found a creative way to present his.
