it was. it was. it was.

so sad. going to the companies you know were americans in america covering american news or called foreign agents. by the end of this segment someone will be bombed i don't mean by may. be a bit aggressive or a comedy show i feel like no. i mean by the u.s. military which is odd because we're technically at war with zero countries i think still so that should mean zero bombings right you know all. you can do is our world with some sort of rational cogent world in which our. the industrial

complex is under control and the music industry is based on merit and talent. and we're preparing and dealing with climate change like a good deal for us rather than burying our heads in the sand while trying to convince ourselves that the sand around our head isn't getting really really hot and then goes to have gently rounded edges on the side so that when you step on them barefoot it doesn't feel like an armor piercing bullet stright tears. just a giggle a rational world we don't live there. instead we live in a world where the pentagon is completely out of role a few weeks ago i talked on this show about the twenty one trillion dollars trillion with a t. that has gone unaccounted for at the pentagon but i didn't get into the number of

bombs that ridiculous amount of money buys you according to consortium news president bush's military dropped seventy thousand bombs on five countries but of that outrageous number it was really just fifty seven of those bombs that really upset the international community because there were fifty seven strikes in pakistan somalia and yemen countries the us was not at war with and didn't even have ongoing conflicts within and the world was kind of horrified there was a lot of talk that went something like this what a second we're bombing in country outside of war zones that it is impossible that's a slippery slope ending in us just bombing all the time nancy whichever president follows bush will be a normal adult person with a functional brain stem of some sort. and will therefore stop this madness.

now. we were so cute and what we were we were like a little kid waking up. under president obama there were five hundred sixty three strikes largely by drones that targeted pakistan somalia and yemen despite the fact that bombing outside of a war zone is a for riffing a violation of international law and global norms a and we're targeting people for pretty crimes all right and this guy in the hill dr jonathan looks kind of like he might do something we don't like one day let's take out his whole family and his home and his chickens don't forget the chickens because you never you never be to say one of his chickens decide to avenge his death you know. despite all of that there was basically a media blackout while obama was president you could count on one hand the number

of mainstream media reports on obama's extracurricular bombing campaigns and even when they did mention it the underlying sentiment was yeah. that's what i mean look drawings ok and let's just drop gently he's like fuck it steve mcqueen over here with trillions of dollars of debt under his coat. not cool steve mcqueen. and don't believe the hype that our advanced weaponry only hits bad guys according to the cia's own documents the people on the kill list who were targeted for death by drone accounted for only two percent of the deaths caused by drone strikes to put into two very covert that took over really pentagon really you got a two on the test too. soon to get five point for spelling your name right pentagon . i mean. it really is if we graded our

military the same way we read a fifth grader he'd be the kid that the teacher like takes pity on and has empty the trash can for extra credit. and and he still accidentally lights the bulletin board on fire somehow just by emptying the trash but that seventy thousand bombs dropped by bush and hoists child's play obama dropped a hundred thousand bombs in seven countries he out bombed bush by thirty thousand bombs and two countries but despite all of that donald trump's administration is tappan everyone blown him out of the water he has basically taken the gloves off the military so they're now just dropping bombs every time they think about maybe dropping bombs. journalist david de graw which is where i've got a lot of this information he's also found that the pentagon's numbers show that during the pentagon's own numbers show during george w.

bush's eight years he averaged twenty four bombs drop per day which is eight thousand seven hundred and fifty per year over the course of obama's time in office his military dropped thirty four bombs per day twelve thousand five hundred per year and in trump's first year in office he averaged a hundred twenty one drop drop bombs dropped that day for an average annual total of forty four thousand ninety six five bombs are dropped per hour every hour of every day that averages out to a bomb every twelve minutes. and which it will which is more outrageous the crazy amount of death and destruction we are creating around the world or the fact that your mainstream media your corporate media basically never investigated they talked about trump's laws all of the you know like they say you are a racist bill this bold is headed idiot which is totally accurate but.

how dare they be so accurate you know but. but they don't criticize the amityville massacre our military is perpetrating by dropping a bomb every twelve minutes most of them killing ninety eight percent non targets all right he didn't change. but it's ok by the time talking about that the boys were disinvited from the white house hot dogs. outside guy so that an ad those vehicles didn't get to stand on the why does law and inhale the noxious few from so aggressive go all around. when you have. his chemical warfare just emanating off. when you have a department of war with a completely unaccountable budget as we saw with the twenty one trillion and you

have a president with no interest in overseeing how much gas the department of war is responsible for then you end up dropping so many bombs that we are running out of bombs. and may struggle to make more oh dear god if we run out of bombs how will we stop all those innocent civilians from farming. like that journalist whitney weber wrote in february shockingly more than eighty percent of those killed have never even been identified and the cia's own documents have shown that they are not . been aware of who they are killing avoiding the issue over porting civilian deaths simply by naming all those in the strike zone as enemy combatants that's right where we only kill enemy combatants how do we know their enemy combatants because there are struggling right now we know that was our strike down because

they were enemy combatants. how do we find out their enemy combatant because they were in our dr jones i gave doing that for hours i'm going to do i'm. talking about knocking senator grassley and i will. look this is not about trump even though he's a maniac it's not about obama even though he's a war criminal it's not about bush even though he did has the intelligence of boiled cabbage. well i've been out of bush joking like eight years. but. just got a good life put on a don't shoot you know. get back into that this is about all right away military industrial complex that our ruling elite are more than happy to let loose you see almost no one in congress or the presidency trying to restrain our one hundred and twenty one bombs a day you see almost no one on a mainstream outlet trying to get people to care about this recently the hash tag

twenty one trillion for the unaccounted for pentagon money has gained some traction let's get another one started all right one twenty one bombs a day a hundred and twenty one bomb per day one every twelve minutes do you know where they're hitting do you know who they're killing do you know why we're killing them a hundred twenty one bombs a day are being dropped in your name and my name and her name and his name went to where faisal. anyway i don't turn that into like al awful oprah oprah so those of you have a bomb and you have a. and you have a. point is that the. point is the government and military you and i support by being a part of this society are murdering people every twelve minutes and in response there's nothing but a ghostly silence like someone farted in the elevator and no one wants to talk

about it all right lads start talking about it now do you watch b.b.c. . oh. really allocate the news from behind so do you remember the moment a few months ago when trump went down to puerto rico to empathize with the people after the devastation of hurricane maria you look at what happened here which really is to. show you. what is your what is you can't. exceed. sixty people

versus in the. sixth sense it's a bit more high kill so if there are people who are right for a very just right. for just sex to be able literally my motorcade right over twelve people on the way here so it's this is really not and. do you remember that well researchers at harvard recently revealed the death toll from hurricane maria may be a staggering seventy times higher the study estimates a death toll of at least four thousand six hundred and forty five zero right now trunk and head back down there and pretend like you gives it away is ok you got to do a better no no i'm kidding he wouldn't do that. les added a new golf course to open then. by the way cutting cutting that ribbon that is the most manual labor you've got his life all right he. pulled a tricep doing that. but seriously he's just a figurehead the anonymous corporate state doesn't care how high the numbers of

dead get in paralegal they're just looking for the profit in this disaster capitalism system and speaking of profit over people the new poor people's campaign continued this week with about. it got got about as much coverage from mainstream media as screech from saved by the bell is currently getting for. right now sixteen people were arrested monday in topeka kansas protesting for better health care and environmental regulations they did that as part of the poor people's campaign but again the chesapeake kansas though again about topeka kansas unless you run out of gas in topeka kansas. and even then you feel like i'm pretty sure we're in kansas city. in kentucky this week state police barred four hundred protesters from entering the capitol building the protesters were demanding wider medicaid coverage for the poor and protections for

the environment and the water as part of the poor people's campaign but in kansas just kentucky kentucky matter and unless you care about whiskey or having sex with your cousin and and i care about one of those things a lot right his name is jim. jim beam. and yes it is. weird that my cousin has the same name as a bourbon. here in washington d.c. twenty eight people were arrested in the capitol rotunda on monday while protesting the disproportionate him. act of disasters such as hurricane maria on the poor they did this as part of the poor people's campaign but who cares it's just washington d.c. that's just where rats go to breed with unpaid interns. part

is part of the either to movement. bush how many people even died hurricane maria was like six day what is like nothing side of you to be quite proud of yourselves in michigan this week hundreds of people protested outside the capitol for more than an hour activists blocked all four exits at the michigan department of environmental quality and refused to let anyone out they did it as part of the poor people's campaign but who cares that's in michigan as we all know everything is fine in michigan. the last five yards of the measure has been saying come party does not count it does not count all right if you're wondering were filled with that much lead you would think they were cool to you once you were that. that is a visual representation of a lot of lead in the skull. did i mention that protest was part of the poor

people's campaign have your hands tied behind your tasks. there are protests going on around the country but your corporate media won't talk about it because it's not trump pornstar all right there is catastrophic profit poverty in our country and people are tired of this of buzy of system based on false scarcity putting profit for the rich above the lives of millions get outta there. so get out there and protect of. all right thank you. if that goes well then we'll work our way down on the list or whatever again health care for children or job whatever is low on the list you've got to have priorities. to meet your orloff wrote a famous essay collapsed gap

a few years ago said that the soviet union and america would both collapse for this similar reasons just that the us would take longer they positioned i said soviet union was like falling out of a one story window and america's like story falling out of a twenty story window and i think we're seeing this now play out real time america's falling out of the toy story window it is a collapse gap to sell here in america collapse roughly the same time for roughly the same reasons and now america is having its boris yeltsin moment with donald trump. welcome welcome back to new study found that when community newspapers shut down local governments become more corrupt because there's even less oversight yes you thought local newspapers were only used by local fathers who wanted to avoid breakfast conversations with their local families. i know i can hear you

know i'm i'm really a cartoon about obama's a muslim. area right here to discuss this new lack of oversight is our senior listicle writer damage her modern. day only. family judge of cancer of local newspapers look room leave there are other ways to spread information i mean have you tried yelling. yeah yeah all right all right no need to demonstrate i heard the first half of the show. regional press in the top one hundred twenty one fun that. week. audit we got it regional press is disappearing and don't look for local investigations online nontraditional outlets have primarily been in the business of content dissemination rather than the production of new information we're not creating anything new i take that a little personally ok not everything i do is repeating what i find on the web i

opened a p.d.f. . and stayed awake then i copied and pasted that quote into my script. so that you could watch it on you to send it to your mom who tweets it in a lonely game or screenshots it posted on reddit where this rant becomes a means that seven people will read that same my friend. who are. your regular edward r. murrow this study measured corruption through municipal. bond prices. well i almost fell sleep when i was saying that. the interest rate of new. local radio isn't that there is some of the government just won't rove because no one is keeping the government accountable have the country lives in these news

deserts one reason is credit list took over newspaper classifieds and the rent in revenue that they generated and judging by the man i met on his list we requested my use q-tips. i don't think we can trust this craig. i would have understood if you wanted my worn socks or panties you know something sensible ok you just created at least five mental images i don't want. people say i am amused. when papers like the rocky mountain news disappear government corruption gets worse as it did in denver especially when it comes to municipal spending and borrowing this leads to one higher taxes to a less efficient government three uninformed citizens for fewer voters and of course five less material for paper maché. the depressing list of all well and

i agree the rocky mountain news broke out lists candles that led to federal investigations of city officials so now there's no one to babysit these politicians but luckily they have one investigative reporter and denver so what if he's a tenth grader. that means you can pay him an extra credit. only downside is his article with the headline city hall corrupted started with miriam webster defines corruption as dishonest conduct. so i would suggest if you live in denver you move look we all know if you go home with somebody and they don't have a bookstore. if you go to one town and it doesn't have newspapers don't with it. so. you send it in no books is a deal breaker for you well and deal breaker number two if he has books but no

shelves deal breaker three if he wants to be a comedian deal breaker for me is a comedian deal great. writing was remember that time remember that the american healthcare system was so bad people were going to back alley surgery centers instead i remember and like it was yesterday because it was yesterday. and today and tomorrow for more on this let's go to our troops bob now let me get ill yes. it's safe to say that getting any kind of surgery carries some risk even warned my stop there animals before operated on them. and i definitely warned this that the risk of infection was very high especially when i played the operation drinking game in college and vomited into his chest cavity. but it's where you get the

surgery that carries an even larger risk to your life because instead of hospitals americans are increasingly turning to surgery centers the save a buck while doctors who own these centers take on more and riskier procedures to make bigger profits and invest. by kaiser health news in the usa today network has the skiver that more than two hundred sixty patients have died since two thousand and thirteen after in and out procedures at surgery centers across the country thousands of times each year these centers called nine one one as patients experience complications ranging from minor to fatal wait the doctors are calling nine one one. zero one one. hour roper watching the weather channel to see if you need an umbrella for the today show it's something called a surgery center sounds like a place that could be sandwiched in between

a strip mall dressed barn and a cheesecake factory when you're not that far off because the first surgery center in the u.s. opened in phoenix in one thousand nine hundred seventy a place between neighborhood shops and a baptist church but a decade later surgery center has got a boost when medicare began paying for center procedures in one thousand nine hundred two and in one thousand nine hundred three congress encouraged doctors to open surgery centers by exempting them from the second star flaw which prevents doctors from steering patients to other businesses they own the stark law is a set of federal rules that prevent doctors sulpher furled. the first stark law of course prevented wealthy businessman tony stark from steering heart failure patients the tony stark industries exclusively for iron man suit the number of surgery centers blew into over fifty six hundred. members registered hospitals in

the u.s. and as shocking as that sounds it's not considering doctors who own a share of the center can earn their own fee and a kind of the facilities feed a meaningful sum for operations that can cost one hundred thousand dollars or more with all the money doctors raked in it's surprising to hear that medicare actually what it was now i'm paying for spinal surgery they considered it too risky for surgery center. that is and so the surgery center industry launched a letter writing campaign to change medicare is mind a campaign filled with comments from surgeons and center owners who pleaded with medicare like the one dude in an r. and b. group that's always begging a girl to come back looking at you boys to bed with medicare of approved pain for nearly a dozen different spinal procedures and twenty fifteen. and as of twenty seven

teams there have been fourteen spinal surgery deaths of course the people who make bank off the surgery are going to say it's a great idea. if this was the e.p.a. mulling over climate change policy got through it would bust in making it rain post-cards us that eight out of ten remaining penguins say it's a hoax and if you rely on medicare these centers may be the only option your doctor tells you about surgery is already risky enough take the profit motive out of health care and maybe we'll see a system whose only motivation is keeping you alive. and one where your h.m.o. gets you something better than a child surgeon. reporting from washington that let me kill redacted tonight. that's our show budget pretty exclusive content by texting the word redacted to four four four nine
