tv Redacted Tonight RT January 4, 2020 9:30pm-10:01pm EST
9:30 pm
hold. many kids and among our corporate politicians severe vomiting. so there you go politicians can do wonderful things when they do the things they never do after being forced to do them by thousands of people demanding they do it . also it helps when kim guard ashley and tweets about it definitely does and then if you get caught reading on improve news maybe the lads you too are massive prison population of 2500000 people oh wait a new study shows the number of people incarcerated in the united states is far higher than $2500000.00 the prison policy initiatives found that at least $4900000.00 people are arrested and jailed each year in america you know i had always thought that 2.5 that number sounded like we were really trying. 5000000 is much more respectable really and let's be honest we're still not really
9:31 pm
trying we wield arrest people for all kinds of crimes we don't arrest almost anybody for insider trading or predatory lending or destroying our land polluting our rivers police brutality war crimes killing people with hate bands or putting children in cages or and killing hundreds of thousands with opioids or or getting to the front of a long line at the coffee shop and not knowing what to do you want to order you know after 20 minutes you do you have salads i will bludgeon you with us good. paralytic care of you found upon yelling that in the premises. we've got all kinds of criminals running free so it's all you could say that 4900000 number is not even our a game the next up on our list of most censored stories of the year is that prisoners are facing new restrictions on their 1st amendment rights. if you're
9:32 pm
a prisoner who looked forward to a greeting card from your family during the holidays your holiday was a little less cheerful and a lot less glittery under the guise of stopping the smuggling of prison contraband states like indiana and michigan have placed an insane number of restrictions on an e-mail from inmates and glitter is out for more on this we go to our lead singer of the contraband. 6 like. this so this seems like it's going to be a death knell for the prison mail rooms only prisoners can still communicate with family they just have to do what the official way by bribing prison guards. their supplemental income correction officers at rikers were getting $400.00 to $900.00 a day smuggling drugs and other contraband but if they're looking for a less risky way to earn cash i am recruiting guards for my new business smug inch
9:33 pm
. it's a tax service where frequent travelers can chat with former guards about how to sneak a full size shampoo bottle in and checked luggage. and leave given your hair length you be a fool to reject my business card. i will take one of those although i did get my shampoo bottle through security i want to say where but. but this is all insane under these new male rules even prisoners kids can't send crayon drawings to their mother. bleep these drawings aren't exactly works of art that are right i get tons of them as a free woman from my 4 year old niece and she's awful right at the very least she needs some anatomy last. but this this isn't just about contraband it's about moving prisoners into which when you 1st century level of communication they can.
9:34 pm
still reach family through e-mail thanks to jane pay it's a program where prisoners and their loved ones by digital stamps to send messages to each other for example $1.00 stamp cost $0.35 and lets inmates write an email of up to $5000.00 characters a picture requires an additional stamp a 32nd video requires force their. prisoners in this country as little as $0.23 an hour for their labor if they get paid at all they have to do slave labor for half a day just to send a 32nd video it's nothing prison prison phone calls can cost a dollar a minute why should your grandpa pay a buck a minute to yell over the phone at your when he can write in all caps for half the price. right. now does this more cost efficient for prisoners it's a boon for the over $20.00 states using j. pay because before finds that commission per message those present standard collects $710000.00 on
9:35 pm
a message is alone whether it's phone or e-mail it's still price gouging a little like while private companies like j.p. enrich themselves on the backs of helpless prisoners that this is just another way to cut prisoners off from the outside world and from education i mean the same way prison officials try to ban books that reveal the truth about the criminal justice ok ok hold on i never said i agree with banning books though if they're going to ban any book it should be the one that taught idaho inmates how to hack the jay pay system in july and take $225000.00 in credit. by the way if any of those inmates are watching give me a call when you know. it's not me it's an i.t. department right thank you tolly his department is training officers 7 to reduce. violence against minorities the program sounds like
9:36 pm
a good idea until you hear that the trainings are led by officers who have been accused of misconduct no. better as good as hiring one of william cosby to teach sex ed a way to discuss this are corrupt. or use this campaign through was a really good to everyone supports education of the nation's youth but not the police these comps need to be off the streets and in the classroom because they got kicked out of the local schools for tasing children. it's true that 16 of the 17 officers leading these implicit bias trainings as they're called have 111 complaints of misconduct against them 111 are you kidding me it's crazy it's just the complains lee i didn't even get into the lawsuit so don't blow your outrage low just yet oh the lawsuits are they teaching them how to be
9:37 pm
racist but better no no that's ridiculous but when i 1st heard that the teachers were abusers i thought the training was an immersive experience where the police themselves would be subject to full cavity searches in the morning and then in the afternoons the trainees would have cocaine planted on them which they were then arrested for with excessive force you know some hands up learning. so how are those riccardo bullies who are trembling on civil rights with little accountability and that's according to the federal government going to get rid of racism with training by proven racists are they going to do it with white power point presentations. indeed there are slides but it's implicit bias not racism implicit biases is sub conscious automatic associations between people and stereotypes that shape everyone's behavior for. example
9:38 pm
a chicago police officer received a misconduct complaint for saying i will lock your black. seems like very explicit racism i just i just don't see it's not obvious to me no we don't know the tone and what he said i am sure it could have been a loving i will lock you're black. so you will never leave my side. anyways the complaint was investigated but i do see some undertones anyways take a look at how they plan to fight this implicit bias in the course and then we used educational for the more difficult conversations it's taking a look at ourselves and what's going on with us and we had to be open with it and part of that was our cynicism see it's part of history this great nation was founded on cynicism there are statues of many great cynics still standing
9:39 pm
today. it's not cynicism it's racism naomi and it's terrifying chicago basically identified the bad apple and promoted to sergeant bad apple ok so people are taking issue with one officer leading the training who was so cynical the police had to pay $75000.00 to a black man who had his ribs broken by bad cynicism however compared to the $709000000.00 that the department paid in settlements since 2010 that small potatoes or small bad apples if you were. the police can't be trusted to reform themselves i think you have power point slides you said so yourself. in the meantime black lives matter needs to change their chance from no justice no peace no races police to no justice no peace no subconscious bias sees that create unfair suspicions of some groups over others 10 with me no just.
9:40 pm
this is go to a short break but my new book bullet points and punch lines is available for preorder at least camp booka dot com it comes out soon and there's an intro by jimmy door forward by chris hedges and in the us is a limited number of signed copies check it out i'll be right back with more. i'm going to repeat it purposes oh probably to the people come on you know we've all bots be. pretty. awesome.
9:41 pm
pretty good. now you want to work. who knows. big. coming coming coming. here's a thought experiment and a bit of a prediction for 2020 going back to saudi aramco around town as it went public just recently had a market valuation an excess of $1.00 trillion dollars i think at one point was worth 2 trillion dollars i think that we're going to see them make a hostile buy of a company maybe facebook for example and it could be the 1st trillion dollar hostile raid in history because they've got the balance sheet now if you've got
9:42 pm
a 2 trillion dollars balance sheet that means you've got you know the ability to borrow another trillion so you've got to 3 trillion dollar war chest if you go after an apple or even a berkshire hathaway 5 or $600000000000.00 so i went inside the ram co by berkshire hathaway just as a hostile trade and then they own us a huge portion of d n a. old global markets the american market why not they've got the balance sheet now they want to diversify away from oil and gas and i think we're going to see a live like that the next 6 to 9 months. you know world of big partisan new things a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now
9:43 pm
for watching closely watching the hawks. seem wrong but. just don't call. me. yet to stamp out disdain becomes agitated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. but if she won you probably didn't i do the dishes at the bus more than those g.'s new species she me we do you believe truth. about that come up and when you die g.p.s. will be. in the news i mean that so that in such
9:44 pm
a ball. a lot of you will see sawing your closet parts about to kill each other both sides most schools. but as you know is to me as if archer. the. cabinet felt they were days doing so. in english media people who simply knew. you would include in. welcome back i'm still late campaign this is the best of redacted tonight 2019 the prison industrial complex episode let's get back to it really when you're number one at something you want to let the whole world know your achievement. except some of the stuff america is really good at would look really weird on
9:45 pm
a phone number one hand. but thanks to the grassroots activism it looks like we're finally getting real about not being number one in at least one thing being the world's number one prison state especially since last week j.p. morgan the started to cut financial ties with private prisons the big bank finally relented when activist groups who were part of the corporate backers of hate campaign sent a merry obscene band and protesters with break up with prison signs to the town house of j.p. morgan chase c.e.o. jamie diamond wait a minute. whenever i want someone to stop doing something i don't like all i got to do is play mereology music.
9:46 pm
and raise themselves made their mark in the fight for reform to win last summer prisoners nationwide went on strike for 3 weeks to protest modern day slavery which is perfect for private companies trying to save money like those whose customer call centers use prison labor instead of outsourcing their call centers overseas even the bureau of prisons federal prison industries called the use of inmate labor the best kept secret in contact centers in arkansas where prisoners still work for free state lawmakers took notice and sought a constitutional amendment last month to ban forced inmate labor states like florida south carolina arizona and nevada have either proposed or passed laws that addressed prisoners' rights of course that doesn't mean they were met with scrutiny like in new mexico where the new mexico district attorney's association disagrees
9:47 pm
with the current state legislature proposal to reduce our drug possession charges from felonies to missed the meters they believe it incentivizes addicts to steal your. and in association release said it's not alcoholic who is going to steal it it is the heroin addict sick needing a quick fix to make himself feel better who drives away in your ford focus or stole that necklace that your grandma left you i doubt my grandmothers who've collectively birthed 15 children have any material wealth and i haven't seen a ford focus on the road since their. ad which touted escaping from the trunk in a tight parking space as a selling point. and the federal 1st steps act which is aimed at prisoner rehabilitation and reducing harsh sentencing isn't without scrutiny too specifically a part of the law that would create a risk assessment tool to determine who's at risk for going back to prison or
9:48 pm
eligible for early release and activists are rightfully concerned given that risk assessment tools have been found to this proportionately inflate risk levels for people of color activists in and outside prison and state lawmakers must continue to make sure change happens everywhere it every level. and it also means you're going to hear a lot more mary actually music. that's 2 cookies instead of one. that . according to one of america's prisons that are going to kill the jacket tonight. everyone needs a place to belong or knows i'm still trying to find a place to get and where i can bet and. so i figured i'd give church a try. when
9:49 pm
you can't find anyone in real life who like you who you are as a person then you go to the one place someone will facebook and given that u.s. law enforcement seems as reputable as anything on o.j. simpson's new twitter account it's a strategy many current and former cops use by joining who come facebook groups like blue lives matter the problem is that revealed from the center for investigative reporting found on the overlap of police groups and another tight reveals new. report estimates $400.00 current and former police officers are members of facebook hate groups after cross referencing members of private facebook groups that promote islamophobia racism and anti-government sentiment when members of police groups reveals a reporter said we've got 14000 hits i mean the rest of them are probably only your
9:50 pm
kids' teachers or their local bankers or politicians or people who think that because shuv kid deserves to go to harvard even though he wrote the n. word so many times in a google doc he looks like a raging racist bart simpson writing on the chalkboard in the show radix the issue is when they act on the stupid hateful things they believe that life will wisenberg or a sheriff's deputy in madison county mississippi and a member of the facebook group white lives matter or maybe it's this white lives matter and either way it's 2 too many wisenberg or is the subject of an a.c.l.u. lawsuit against this department in which a fellow deputy said wisenberg punched a handcuffed black man in his face and when the a.c.l.u. asked if he had ever used racial slurs on the job he replied i may have used the n word adding it's not something i'm proud of or do every day normally this is
9:51 pm
when i say something like he talks about using the n. word like we do when we eat an entire pint of ice cream in one sitting. except that is something i'm proud of and i do do it every day. except when i accidentally by rhyme or reason. oh god we're talking about the n. word doesn't look bad that i'm removing all the dark bits. the company is making things worse by redesigning it's apt to focus more on private groups rather than the. news feed but even if they ban the group they don't necessarily ban it's members meaning they could just regroup and change the groups they have to something more ambiguous like the cops who are in anti social justice warrior pinochet's helicopter pilot academy a reference to chilean dictator augusto pinochet who had his political opponents
9:52 pm
thrown out of helicopters into the pacific ocean their numbers are clearly high enough to make them feel comfortable to hate in the open as strongly as they do in private but they shouldn't feel comfortable they should feel just as isolated as i felt when i found out the church i was trying to join expanded its restrictions. a problem on. it's because i picked the raisins out isn't it. reporting from washington natalie mchale predicted that as every new yorker knows the big apple is the greatest city in the world but it could stand to be made just a little bit greater by improving its public transit that's why governor cuomo has pledged to add $500.00 new boys and girls in blue to keep their watchful eyes on the city's subways critics claim that this money could be more efficiently spent elsewhere but the n.y.p.d. disagrees and asked us to just think how much faster the trains would run if you
9:53 pm
weeded out all the potential criminals the new transit cops are going after fair vader's and vagrants who wait is that a troll lady no i can get down with busting acoustic guitar a surprising wonderwall covers but this is too far for over 3 years this chair a woman also known as elsa has served the broadway junction station with her homemade cinnamon coated fried dough sticks providing both a hearty breakfast a hardworking brooklynites on their way to an early morning shift and a delectable dinner to drunken trust fund kids on their way home from a late night body poetry slam in their defense the n.y.p.d. said they had received numerous complaints regarding unlicensed vendors at broadway junction a buzz feed news analysis from 2019 showed that there were 3 complaints related to unlicensed spending within a block of the broadway junction subway station this year. sure it's just a coincidence but over the summer i was selling used furbies in that same they were good although she was let go after a few minutes the police did issue
9:54 pm
a summons and confiscated her cart along with all of her chair roses evidence asked about the current status of else's property broadway junction commanding officer captain jonathan bobbin had no comment surely there's someone else in a position of authority who could help our beloved slinging maiden perhaps the mayor of new york and self-proclaimed friend of working people billiam de blasio will be able to sort this out the officers comported themselves properly from what i could see. but i don't want to get to that point the good news is there are a lot of ways he can help to get us to a point where this doesn't happen he could start by extending or eliminating the food cart permit cap which has been in place since 1983 and forces many vendors to pay more than $10000.00 on the black market to obtain a license to sell food if maybe else it could knock off a few grand by thrown on some chocolate dip and sauce but still the increased police presence was originally supposed to prevent fare evasion and is set to cost
9:55 pm
the city roughly 240 $9000000.00 over the next 4 years but after cracking down on turnstile jumpers the m.t.a. will save a whopping $200000000.00 despite the original promise to focus on fair and foresman the m.t.a. as c.e.o. patrick ford has given conflicting accounts on why the m.t.a. needs more officers when asked by reporters for brought up the threat of terrorism an entirely new explanation and even missing from the latest reason given by gubernatorial spokeswoman danny lever the initiative is to combat violent incidents including robberies and assaults on transit workers and hate crimes and graffiti and pigeons and trans fats and smelly commuters who play their blue 2 speakers on the train for everyone else to hear while they clip their toenails. we don't know the exact reason why new york is deciding to invest in more transit cops rather than practical things like repairs or staving off fare hikes but whatever the
9:56 pm
rationale is new york commuters particularly young new yorkers of color aren't having it as protesters from groups like the colonised this place have shown over the past month there is strength in numbers and the phenomenon is global from brooklyn that she lay when governments impose punitive discriminatory laws on their subjects that push them further into poverty than those governments can lose legitimacy if the people rise up a law just a piece of paper after all it's no match for a mass movement with a powerful message less cops more churros start argue with that. reporting from new york city our manners later with redacted tonight that's our show i will be back next week with we'll go back to regular live audience episodes redacted tonight also if you missed we had new episodes of v.i.p. as well that's all you tube dot com josh redacted tonight and i have live shows coming up in philadelphia austin dallas washington d.c.
9:57 pm
9:58 pm
it's course it's about seeing new yorkers. just chill. time after time called parishioners repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important celery transition sustainable transport sustainability stay number may not be more equitable and sustainable while. they claim their production is completely harmless does need to. get. it into something companies want us to feel good about buying their products while
9:59 pm
10:00 pm
