there's so little annoying the law enforcement agency that makes caesar's gets to keep all the cash or the proceeds of it auction was profits right. it will allow the prosecutor's office gets ten to twelve percent as well from all drugs it serves some good hard cash to be on when you've got to pay the publicist you got to be i mean let's look at the numbers two thousand and five the twenty fifteen or preachers resulted in games of get this more than three hundred nineteen million dollars for illinois police department sheriff state attorneys and other law enforcement agencies now you're going to take a big chunk about money away if you legalize marijuana there and they're going to use the they're going to try to use any and anything they can to get you to vote against that like threatening to kill dogs yeah but i think the thing is you have to look at the data of this are factors that's really important because we're trying to say like people go all but they got their drug money up great now in eighty percent of the cases by the way of civil forfeiture asset forfeiture it means that the property owner in eighty percent of cases was never charged with
1:01 pm
a crime they took their money they didn't do anything wrong it doesn't matter cops keep it from those percentages selves like the dog you know stopped at the back of the porsche and said oh there's drugs in here because our master said so and now the master can search the car and they can seize the car that never give it back but we didn't really ever have any drugs i mean if they really need to find a home for those dogs i will take one of them all right well as we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what you think the topics you cover the facebook and twitter see our poll shows at our t.v. dot com coming up we ask if this is america educator and author do you walk as we break down childish gambino is much talked about new music video stay tuned to watching the whole. discipline. to know that army is not ukraine or georgia and that our experience is
1:02 pm
unique to certain extent we're building on the success and the fielder's of past efforts to address the issues that you're talking about so in many ways we have a leg up on anything best been tried in the past this is not just a democrat a grassroots effort by the armenian people for the armenian people. for twenty eighteen coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers available to us but there was one and one of the greatest goalkeepers of what was done but there was one more question and by the way i was going to be our coach. you guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure you have to go i mean eighty percent of the poll we do and we will go over great the great if you are the rock
1:03 pm
at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go. alone. and i'm really happy to join that for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia. this special one was also appreciated me to say the review theology team's latest edition to make up a bigger. book. in the words of right wing culture warrior andrew breitbart politics is downstream from culture the phrase meant to describe why conservatives were perennially getting crushed in the culture war by ignoring the importance of the media pop culture is growing more and more accurate every year with on my platforms allowing . music and the means to spread across the country like wildfire and influence the
1:04 pm
nation's narrative and a seriously on imaginal way. and the ensuing debate the nation's social media rankings and cable shows alike and now artists delivered a somewhat more philosophically charge pop culture critique of society's race and gun violence from his alter ego childish gambino with many americans debating the music videos underlying message and symbolism author and educator joins us to weigh in on the conversation. always a pleasure to have you on discuss a. credible music video. well i mean not only on like the technical level of just pure filmmaking but just the metaphors of the issues raised all that so i want to start and ask you. nobody's quite on the same page because it raises so many issues and brilliant visuals and a lot of metaphor. in this is america what did you take away from it what it what
1:05 pm
did you have for seeing it what did you walk away from doing the video so you so i felt like after watching the video. indorsed what we try to do in media we see the big stories that everyone wants us to talk about trump this trump trump did this trump did this so what. what about the everyday people who are suffering who's going to tell their stories who's going to care about them who's going to love them and he showed us how you can just dangle something flashy in wow in front of people who are interesting and will totally turn a blow to the things that we should be looking at and i think i think it was brilliant. you know makes me excited for our interview this is going to be an artist yet when you watch people of that in their reactions and you're seeing some of the reactions from people you know from piers morgan who you know was scared and
1:06 pm
now it's down thinks it's the. latest so they don't get it though that is it is not affirmative country this country is structure for piers morgan and alex jones to win you know worry about the same things that a person with black skin or a woman is going to worry about they just don't know but i think the hard part is in them being so uncomfortable because it works when i see that when they're when those people are scared of my good you should think about so fair one of the things and that reaction didn't really fall neatly into the category as a sort of race and politics some people you thought might be a little put by it weren't new yorkers during say felix noted that quote a lot of black people hate it and the music video forces viewers to relive countless traumas before immediately forcing them to then dance what is your reaction to that. covers approach to getting us all to talk about these issues. is
1:07 pm
it insensitive or needlessly overly sensitive is there this idea where that trauma is their thing reread traumatizing people in trying to tell the story or at the end of the day i don't even know where you get that quote a lot of black people hated it who are these people you know you are a lot of people hate everything just like a lot of people love everything so that's not really like a fair thing and even that type of thinking is what's wrong with this country today the idea of you can just put all of these different types of black people in a box and think that they are all of the black people spoken to like you a lot of them don't like it you're not going to you're not really going to say that about any other race you're not going to see you know oh yeah you know a lot a lot of curious you know you're not going to say that what you're going to do that to black people so that person is proud instantly problematic and the reason why we need videos like this i mean and when you look at like some of the things that
1:08 pm
glover was doing in the video it's really incredible i mean you know because like i said everyone can kind of watch it and see different things that suddenly speaks to them and that's the strength the powerful are you know when i saw the video and saw how he was moving the facial you know what he was the faces he was making things like whoa you know that reminds me a lot of like the jim crow era and you know when i was like where alex jones. minstrel just. there lay our. when i look at alex jones. because he screams and he turns really silly skin is about the pop like he's he wants to be something you know just like summarize this this whole thing what donald glover did is what kanye west is trying to do here is speaking directly to the people and the issues in a way that's brilliant and transformative he's been with illusions you know people say oh my god he shot the people require deliberate foul. will ship one of those
1:09 pm
people before he murdered them in cole blood before those officers picked him up what i consider to be like a silent you know thank you they put in a burka this is america this is what happens here and it's alex jones piers webb it guys and peg now does this stuff the things that they say it can never hold any weight it's interesting when you mention the kanye west thing because it's like you know this came right on the heels of that whole kanye west explosion we talked about it on this show and it's not surprising that like many of the kind of lazy or high takes on the video is comparing like glover to kanye you know damon young at the group kind of blasts this saying of the myriad of takes i've seen so far the only truly terrible one is that he is now some sort of anti kanye west glover and the reason he says he says is that this both idolizes glover while passing judgment on who represents blackness better is this desire to juxtapose the two misguided in the long run has no one has nothing to do with the other there's not you know
1:10 pm
nothing is this coming out of the reason because coming out a whole lot of media attention for the make america great song going to make america great in everything that he's done with his dragon energy friends so what i'm saying is that you know at the end of the day desk that's the b.s. play stuff that nobody has time for this is something that's true so i don't think we play i don't think we plan against each other but i'm saying vis has meaning in truth. is based on nothing mrs t. assoc doesn't even know about some of riis's things that are connected to jeff sessions korea he said he didn't know about a lot of the families made the point and broke up he's completely oblivious to all of the pain that donald trump has caused so it's like that's a joke so if you can't something you don't need to read not even a bold print you don't read any print that the fine print not the bold print anything but then you've got a person who's shown how ugly this country came. but we don't really
1:11 pm
have to close the thing it's like i think it's really unfair to. say they're saying i'm going to compare the two and see who says what better who says what different because at the end of the day you judge the work that that individual person and you look at that work because the moment you get into like the infighting of pop culture then you're not paying attention to the message of the song then you're not paying attention to what donald glover is trying to say i will say that i think that what glover is doing is what kanye doing and. i think that's where the connection goes and misinterpretation and the other tone of bring up before we run out of time today is. to bring up another pop culture if. i think it's. there's some. of them i see it and. somehow. these. pro trump activists diamond. apparently are taking a cue from. in their speech before the annual n.r.a.
1:12 pm
convention in dallas recently and what they are saying is that black and white america alike don't. think they don't need a slave mentality anymore and that this sort of an oppressed people need to do what they said quote the plantation like that the choice again it's sort of in this. is a choice and i wonder isn't there kind of an odd new trend of plantation and slave metaphor is interwoven into conservative talk. why doesn't that sparked outrage to use things like lynching and plantation and all of this imagery to say like how they're being oppressed as conservatives because dominant. like there's. so it's like you can. really call your. people who. because he's actually has a leg and he's created some his work that touched
1:13 pm
a lot of people they've never done anything important in the lives like that very goofy very silly and you know when they speak like they said enter into slavery like how dumb is that like how dumb like that how double it was that like in a from print on emancipation proclamation was it like like passed out the pm flight to be passed out flyers which are going to get one point going to. the dumbest governor in my life you know that my ancestors fought with the n.r.a. in the civil war you know the farm the civil war i'm cans people who want to own slaves they were part of the n.r.a. so people i've done and seen what i can and it's only is who uses plantation stuff what they are doing is that they're running towards the plantation they're going to sow the plantation and they're trying to make it out to fill and in trying to get a house and they want to like serve tea and biscuits they don't want to like be out picking cotton you know you know it's this is you know thinking about this is america and glover really quickly i also want to point out how how much bravery
1:14 pm
this guy had been doing this video right now because he's got one of the biggest summer movies disney star wars movie coming out in like a week or two plane land ok all received and he drops a piece of art you know going to be controversial but has a powerful message that's that's a that's a powerful art of stand up and doing some brazen that's what we do our cities are out of power yes add a sense of fear so that fear is very very easy to cling to a right wing agenda or some type of right wing media it's very safe they have a lot of fans they have the most popular news shows they have the biggest guns it's very easy to run towards them it's very difficult to stand up stand on your own two feet and tell the truth this is a country where you can kill people and they treat the guns with more love dimitri the actual he was on that as you know that's the truth educator all the thank you for coming on and educating us today always a pleasure. interacting with other human beings can be so
1:15 pm
exhausting which is why the rich and famous have personal assistants to fetch them coffee organize their schedule and most importantly make restaurant reservations well google has made the choice of having your own assistant accessible to the rest of us they demonstrated their newest system and it's a tad more human than well your average human watched the google assistant call and make a dinner reservation. like predictable for one. or there would be room. for four people four people. and they want to hear. those and pass' you word were the robot it's part of the design to make the digital voice seem not only more lifelike but so the other person on the other end isn't even aware that they spoke to a robot of course there's personal assistance to the rich and famous are not of
1:16 pm
a job yet since you know in order to use google assistant all your data will be taken up by the artificial assistant and use it to make your life slightly easier also ultimately end up on an essay hard drive and cia phials in if corporate america doesn't want to find a bucket of yours. and everyone it's just that was the. remember one of those we're not so beloved not so i tell you all i love you i am tired of the term and i am top of the lot of people watching those talks have a great day and. anyone else seems wrong why don't we just don't. let me. get to shape out. just because to add to it and in danger it equals betrayal.
1:17 pm
when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. deep seated myself. i would say i'm not american but americans helped out really. world war two cures of the depression farce united states is concerned prosperity of course from store. elite. military. for the for us the whole world what it what and. historical rewrite ever since world war two to foment the cold war against russia against communism and. socialists nish bush is doing so so you call me out
1:18 pm
just a swath of the earth so use could all go. well i think world war two has been distorted credibly by the anglo-american media and that's because they want to minish the role of russia. and stalin who actually defeated hitler. applied for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill the narrowness and spend the student twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful game great
1:19 pm
so what more chance for. us it's minute. ministry is police forces and. ministrations of many countries depend on one corporation that does what mike was hoping on the board does not promote the rights of god i'm just going to come to. you good luck on him to see the best of them proprietary software you don't know the source code isn't that such a security risk when you have a black box operating good public good to microsoft dependency puts governments under cyber threat and not only that. put more on that song because softness of this is from the z. film and this is also one of the more. more subtle miss you
1:20 pm
all do. with. things this is. often strident on. your vision starting there was a sting of all the fun is up and describes in the fine. israel launches a barrage of strikes on iranian targets in syria claiming it's in response to an iranian assault on the golan heights. the us president claims around for the havoc in the middle east after announcing that washington would win a gun its commitments under the iran's nuclear deal. but they do want to scare the life if you look at what's happening in the middle east with syria with yemen with all of the places they're involved it's better than death and a cia veteran is thrown out of the confirmation hearing for donald trump's pick to head the agency amid protests over the nominees reported involvement in torture programs.
1:21 pm
but i welcome its three pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now sixty rockets were fired by israeli jets hit iranian. positions in syria with a further ten missiles fired from the ground it is the second such strike by israel in as many days television claims it was responding to twenty rockets launched by iran from syrian territory into the golan heights the first rocket attack by the israelis was launched right after donald trump announced his decision to withdraw from the around nuclear deal which was reached back in two thousand and fifteen in his latest statement the us president blaine duran for quote bedlam and death. we do with the rare probably we want to very well with them but that's ok to. understand. life because i don't think they do understand if you look at what's
1:22 pm
happening in the middle east with syria with yemen with all of the places they're involved it's bedouin and we can't allow that to happen another statement from trump and we're in for another treat it's so juicy you can't help but savor it let's take it from the top we'll see how we do with the rare probably we want to very well with them but that's ok too of course he probably won't do very well with iran he just we may go on a deal that let the country's economy breathe more freely for the first time in decades and by a chain reaction trump probably won't get along with a bunch of other countries either yes all those nations who decided to stay in that deal reiterating their support for it did trump see this coming the rift with his own allies probably doesn't matter that much after all the america first mantra got trump elected and if you don't get it you're in for
1:23 pm
a life lesson. understand. life because i don't think they do understand we keep the whole article on american exceptionalism and this tirade could very well at a section to it we get it mr trump you. understand life we hear understand how america wants it and roll over and play and here's why according to trump everyone should be on board with his iran decision if you look at what's happening in the middle east with syria with yemen with all the other places they're involved. and we can't allow that to happen what a set of arguments apparently it's ok to support saudi arabia and their bombings of yemen a deadly come pain that resulted in the world's worst manmade humanitarian crisis all courtesy of american weapons american logistical support and american intelligence and with syria i must have missed the moment when iran joined the u.s.
1:24 pm
in sending money and weapons to jihad is damned groups seeking regime change trump has laid out a list of demands to iran most notably he called on to iran to drop the quote quest to destroy israel an explicit indicator of who trumps trying to court here and this is how we run feels about trump's move. and the american flag isn't the only thing in tatters now so is the iran nuclear deal which has left europe scrambling for response one thing is clear though they won't be taking a leaf out of donald's art of the deal. well the best president donald trump
1:25 pm
controversial pick for the cia director has been grilled at the senate at a senate confirmation hearing over her alleged involvement in the top string of terrorist suspects the session was interrupted by protesters denouncing the nominee . i. was i was i was was. was. was was this my many respects. for. shoplifting. this is ready to stop her on me are you know. what the second person on the video who was wrestled to the ground there by security and then escorted out is seventy nine year old cia veteran roy mcgovern he served at the agency for twenty seven years but then became
1:26 pm
a political activists protesting the use of torture programs mcgovern is a staunch critic of jena hospital we contacted his lawyer who told us the activist spent a night in jail. well the cia's and enhanced interrogation program is the main focus of agency head nominee gina hospital senate grilling as she's been accused of being directly involved in torture practices in the past and the promise that under her leadership the agency wouldn't restart the controversial program. some ducking and diving at the hearing. you believe the program in terms that you can interrogate program was consistent with american values we have decided to hold ourselves to a stricter moral standards are they consistent with american values senator i believe very strongly in american values i want to trust that you have the moral compass that you said you have i have conducted myself honorably and in accordance with u.s. law do you believe that the previous interrogation techniques were immoral what i
1:27 pm
believe sitting here today is that i support the higher moral standard we have decided to hold ourselves to the question. and i think i've answered the question i have not as you can guess torture and morality were the main topics of discussion there was some very clear opposition to haskell but those who were skeptical were concerned about her prior involvement with the cia's enhanced interrogation techniques which many describe as a torture program first some background on the controversy has will reportedly ran a cia prison in thailand where these techniques were used and she's accused of destroying tapes that documented these interrogations human rights organizations have even called upon the public to reach out to their representatives and oppose her nomination but president trump seems to have no qualms with her questionable history in fact he's even praised her for being quote tough on terror so it's unclear whether or not trump's support will be enough for easy confirmation but what does have to say what happens it geno housefull has had practically every
1:28 pm
senior position in the cia's headquarters she's currently the acting director of the cia i knew her when she was the chief of staff. in the counterterrorism center she's been in the senior intelligence service for decades but i think that she's not qualified to lead the cia because the actions that she took during the dark period of the cia's torture program disqualify her she has been doing literally everything she can think to do other than telling the truth about the cia's torture program to get this job gina haskell had the opportunity to say the right thing that this was a dark period in u.s. history people made mistakes the program was immoral it was illegal it was unconstitutional she never said any of that. well the most recent poll does suggest that only a third of americans believe the alleged involvement in renders hospital unfit for
1:29 pm
the post of cia chief we asked people on the street what i think. immoral immoral it's pretty cruel and wrong i don't think it's more morally right. i was going to stop a terrorist target. i don't like that. but i don't claim to understand why or how it sometimes sort of might be necessary if it kept americans here safe from terrorism or information leading to any. terroristic activities of course. now israel has revoked the work permit human rights watch is director in the country authorities explain the decision was based on the dossier that was compiled on omar sheikh his activities over the course of the last decade convulse reporting
1:30 pm
on israel and the palestinian territories since held his post since april last year israel has given him fourteen days to leave the country we spoke to the ice director who told us that the real motive behind the decision is to disturb his organizations work the reality is all of the allegations in the dossier relate to human rights activities many of which took place years ago before i joined human rights watch when i was a student in university and the reality remains that even according to the interior ministry neither i nor human rights watch promote boycotts human rights watch is an organization that covers over ninety countries across the world we've won a nobel peace prize you know for efforts we document abuses not only by israel but also by the palestinian authority and by hamas this is the first time of course human rights watch that israel has ordered.
