agency more opaque and less accountable then the u.s. military they go department still in its teens was created in 2002 to fight terrorism and all threats from abroad like you know my wrist says but the t.h.s. has always been more concerned with monitoring peaceful activists at home than focusing on serious threats you can see that clearly in an internal memo published this week homeland security worries coburn 1000 masks are breaking facial recognition this is definitely a show of their priories but to be fair i wouldn't expect any teen year old with the cold to carry kleenex if is shirt sleeves everyone got so mad that these g.i. john doe's were ignoring civilians rights and treating peaceful protests like a counterinsurgency operation that they pissed not some people's mothers off but a whole wall of moms came out to protests.

at the moms also probably nothing will stop an 18 year old like a good scolding you know you're making a mess here but that didn't stop the d.h. as they continue their rage or you could say it was lit. the feds were firing so much tear gas that a federal aviation administration official said that clouds of it were getting picked up on the radar over portland here's what i would describe as a tear gas tornado approaching from the west so we have a 75 percent chance of burning face and eyes a low to no visibility and there's also a 95 percent chance begin raining rubber bullets after 9 pm especially medics and

journalists remember to pack an umbrella and a helmet and bring your mom. and who could forget them shooting the press and protesters in the face with their less lethal bullets well i guess that's why they shot people in the head so they would forget some might call this is disaster black lives matter protests were dying down in early july when the feds arrived in portland and breathed new life into the protests you know most people like to disappear in a puff of smoke but somehow in portland a cloud of tear gas only makes more protesters appear tear gas makes them stronger but also the black gloves matter protests morphed into a fight for the right to protest which brought even more people out along with their lawn equipment so i drove down the sidewalk and i gassed the federal troops or whatever the federal people are so it's

a violation of us to do. likewise never been involved i'm here to visit with the troops and i was you brought a leaf or. this isn't just right for your super charged leaf blower i got it today karma grandad with the brother you know he really does have the big blower energy portlanders their moms and everything they found in their garages including leave blower toting grandad's faced off against 2000 e.h.s. agents some of whom were part of a secret tactical force known as board tac who are trained to kill c h s has been promising to take these tactics nationwide but don't worry they've been listening to your calls and this week they said they're going to make some changes the department of homeland security says it will replace the military style uniforms worn by its agents. totally forget that you harassed activists if you show up in cammo crop tops. so what we're talking about

defunding. maybe we should consider the d.h.s.s. the t.h.s. is a sprawling organization that puts its tentacles on every aspect of american life it cost taxpayers nearly $100000000000.00 a year more money gets poured into our homeland security than our health as a nation and it shows on any given day the d.h.s.s. is responsible for manning the us border providing aid to hurricane victims and rescuing alaskan crab fishermen and they fail at all these tasks crab fishermen are just left to fend for themselves against the crabs i separated kids from their families hundreds of border patrol agents are arrested a year for corruption and according to one inspection the t.s.a. failed 95 percent of the time to stop smuggled weapons through screening despite

its failure to d.h. us has been good at one thing surveilling rousing and arresting activists you can't blame them though there weren't enough terrorists to go around to the f.b.i. cia pentagon counterterrorism units and the the. the end of the 1st decade the agency moved on to investigating peaceful political groups including environmentalists abortion rights campaigners and peace activists as well as occupy wall street and the water protectors of standing rock under barack obama's presidency and will make that even more disgusting is that activists are the easiest people to investigate because activists are concerned with visibility and they have handles like manic pixie comey revolution now they're constantly tweeting out their location i'm down by the wind howls at this crime in march with all my friends here their names meet us at the corner of f. street and 16. and 16. the d

h s has been shamelessly terrorizing activists and not just in portland they're actually multitasking right now just this past friday in arizona border patrol launch militarize raid of a borderlands humanitarian aid camp but organization gives water to migrants crossing the desert so they won't die it's called no more death which apparently is the controversial statement mission not letting people die in the desert is a multi-faceted issue for once let's think of the bleachers perspective and just this week a leak show that homeland security has quietly timing and to foreign powers the d.h.s.s. is investigating volunteer fighters who went to syria to fight isis some of whom are leftists to prove that they are in fact part of a dome s. to a terrorist group and when former fighter and marxists podcast belden found

out about his d. h. s. and t. file he said i am not nor have i ever been a member of any anti for organization the us government has been spying on and smearing communists for 100 years but they usually have the decency not to call or read and arcus my god just look at his screen name not as handle his figure which is also interesting but it's right here in the documents len in lover $69.00 it's not crank for 20. is an anarchist i found that out yesterday some might say portland is a preview of what's to come federal agents were practicing for what will become the new normal where the ruling classes fear and paranoia of popular revolt dictates policy our corporate overlords have no problem treating challenges to the system as terrorists threats and having trump use the corrupt and obsolete v.h.s.

as the secret police as the economy declines in the average american gets poorer and while the rich get richer they know we're going to take to the streets with our moms. mom's now qana replaced pitchforks company you from washington d.c. hollywood for the ugliest people this is rejected tonight. welcome to redact it's night i'm naomi care vonnie in philly this week now let's take the news from the. it's a personal preference i know it feels like the police state has robbed us of so many things our right to protest our right to free speech our right to joy

i mean the feds arrested a guy in portland on roller skates near a protest his charge failure to obey a lawful order while also having a blissful dang for those of you who totally lost faith in the year bringing any good news 2020 does have its surprises like we got to witness an australian guy try the president as if he didn't do his 5th grade homework. that was the 1st time i saw a condescending australian he basically sounded british you should give 2020 another chance this week progressive candidates brought home wins that show the power of the underestimated progressive movement bernie sanders and doris kim gardner won reelection to the circuit attorney's office in st louis and in michigan rashida to leave won by 66 percent the biggest win was cory pushes seat representing st louis a one time homeless black lives matter activists corey bush overturned

a democratic dynasty of william lacy clay and his father in the missouri primary whose office is added up to over 50 years you mean to tell me that a black lives matter activists got the vote i thought they were an anarchist group that's what homeland security and the f.b.i. seem to thing what's next and t. fun as a candidate on the presidential ticket vote for anonymous this november imagine how hard it is to run a campaign without revealing your identity well i know you're thinking moderate democrats do that all the time they're like that was i mean it was on the crime bill. but was matter also a movement ignored by the media until now will have its day in congress but don't worry they promise to rule the country with a raised fist and now for the bad news sorry i just had a small dose of good news if good news were an edible we are actually really responsible right now i mean we're in

a pandemic for god's sakes put on your rants and get ready for the bad news about to spray from my own mask now. it's back to home school season and the kids are not all right just as fast as school started up in some districts it shut down more than 200 employees have been barred from work in georgia's largest school district a high school in indiana had to ship to online learning after just 2 days and students in mississippi were forced to quarantine after classmates tested positive for the grow virus during the 1st week of classes and i remember when i was in school and getting mononucleosis was like a badge of honor because he had to kiss someone to get it get it i showed those middle school popular kids i got mon-el and i got pregnant but you don't need the d. to get kovi all you need to do is share air there's no dignity in getting sick by

sitting next to gunther the kid was coughing throughout the entire class but does love the attention it looks like so many people were over eager to start school again especially our counter in chief trump he's not really conveying his love for education while he writes in all caps i mean can you imagine baron trump's papers after being home schooled by his father. the great gatsby got a bad deal. by a baron from you can just tell trump doesn't mind reading and that's ok but it is odd because trump does love suing trump assuming a tiny news station you've never heard of unless you live in northern wisconsin w j f w t.v. where too many w.'s to be famous the defamation sue goes after the station for airing a political asked they're not suing the well funded democratic super pac who paid for it but instead are going after the messenger as the saying goes don't sue the

messenger this means that the station will likely be bankrupt and defending itself and that's the point trump wants to push the 1st amendment and the freedom of the press out of business by making it impossible to survive as a small entity. but that's all we have as americans we don't have health care we don't have money the one thing that we can cherish as a people is talking soon will only be able to talk if we purchase a blunder on amazon. this machine can't blend and i phone like it said it could buy herbs now how will i get my revenge. and if that doesn't pull out your heart strings the trumpet ministration is also going after netflix immigration nation is a docu series about immigration detention centers the trump administration is trying to delay the release of the series until after election by threatening the

production company and not netflix actually several times the filmmaker said the official pointed out that it was their little production company not the film's $125000000000.00 distributor that would face consequences now i always imagine the administration to be evil but i never thought that they would talk like the wicked witch of lawsuits were going to get you news paper in your little production company do. you know what maybe the wizard of oz was really political political satire that i missed in the wiz it was clear we have to go to a quick break but stay right there and we'll be back with more show also we no longer have full episodes on you tube you can find them on the portable t.v. or online at portable dot t.v. we'll be right back. join me every thursday on the elec simon show and i'll be speaking to us in the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see

you then. as the u.s. economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours a a week and still. will not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of it is we're not financially equality and i'm not comfortable or living minimum wage many people naturally know there's been a problem with the city knows time limits on the police state we're always told to some stuff that's worth it if there is no answer because you know it's the records resources most vulnerable in abandoned on the streets to become the invisible cliques. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race is also

a spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back i'm name a caravan e b i'm going pandemic has exposed huge cracks in our health care system it's gotten so bad that now many americans think it's time we get a new system altogether for more on this we go to our intelligence failure anders lee. was 19 has killed 158000 americans infected millions more and brought the economy to the brink of depression but let's not forget who this pandemic as hit the

hardest health insurance companies for health care c.e.o.'s it's been their blue cross to bear. according to a recent estimate $5400000.00 american workers lost their health insurance between february and met not only does that cost these companies a tremendous amount of customers it's also causing. many the question why health insurance in the us is to have your employer in the 1st place especially if that employer is forcing you to serve pancakes in a hazmat suit to mask list covert conspiracy theorists even doctors are questioning the system doctors the very people whose masterful penmanship these companies depend on to fill out mountains of crucially important paperwork dr lee so a harvard physician who used to defend the private system now sees the need for national health insurance as the reality of infectious disease and those without proper care run the risk of acquiring and transmitting the disease to the rest of us that is a tough one but perhaps there's still

a way we can deny health care to poor people without spreading infectious disease what if we require insurers to give the lucky elite few who can afford their coverage some of these. to either that or we give them whatever magical serum that's keeping ruth bader ginsburg alive support for medicare for all system is growing across the country according to the kaiser family foundation a majority of americans have supported it since 2016. when what happened that year . but it wasn't just a cranky brooklyn accent yelling at people for 4 years that got america to start seeing health care as a human right from just february to march morning council measures that net support of medicare for all jumped up by a 9 points it's amazing what mass death and disease will do to the public's opinion of an industry that makes billions profiting off of death and disease the vast majority of democratic voters support replacing that industry with

a single public run health insurance plan and some polls show that even a slim majority of republicans support such a plan as well given that we're in the epicenter of a global pandemic you think joe biden could see at least through his non-body that he should run on a not for profit system like they have an every other industrialized country the choice is obvious so obvious maybe too obvious. the democratic party always tries to avoid being too on the nose so on july 27th when a proposal to add a straightforward blunt medicare for all position to the platform was put before d.n.c. delegates for a vote it was defeated $36.00 to $125.00 instead it seems like a lot for a more subtle choice one quote improving upon their signature achievement obamacare you know that patchwork of private exchanges and tax incentives for gemini homeowners with $2.00 children who drink at least 4 times

a year but joe biden doesn't have to be constrained by the party platform his campaign could still run on single payer if he wanted to isn't that right to health care guarantees human right but taking away the right to have a private ryan if you want a private plan i disagree with i disagree oh that's right what about all those people who want to keep paying for private insurance instead of getting it for free well there must be something we can work out for them maybe we can at least replicate the experience by hiring someone to steal money from them send them the same piece of mail 30 times in a row or if they get lonely give them a call and then you put them on hold for 2 hours please hold. right now millions of americans are wondering if they can afford their next premium or cobra and they're wondering if they'll have to start rationing medicine or if they'll be able to find a new job and get on a new insurance plan on top of that they're struggling to avoid

a virus that's killing their friends and families people are struggling to survive and hopefully they will but if we're able to make it out of this thing and hopefully the health insurance industry. reporting from washington i manders lee with redacted enough now it's time to go to some stories we didn't have time to get to here with me is correspondent natalie mcgill and. a little to yourself what do you write so up until now i was the iowa was the only state in the country that bans people with any type of felony conviction from voting but recently the state governor to reynolds signed an executive order that would allow people who have served their sentence for a nonviolent felony crime to vote and a lot of credit actually goes to black lives matter protesters they were they lobbied for this and now 60000 iowans will now get the right to vote how many black laws matter members are there and i was like 56 i was going to put the number

just to do the stuff but that's a really powerful to close with a republican governor in a state that went for trump in 2016 who were on the line in the water with the history right now kind of amazing feat but it also doesn't it also doesn't mean that it won't get challenge for all we know a new governor could go in and overturn it because it's an executive order. and also they could end up electing somebody crazier than her like after all this is a state that had steve king as a representative for 20 years so yeah exactly trust judge written but also even if there was an official law it could still get challenge the way things are being challenged florida you know what's going on in florida you had 65 percent of the voters that voted on amendment 4 which restored the right to vote for 1400000 are republicans worried that felons will not vote for them. 5. yes

that is something that is that is an interesting point but in iowa all the felons are republicans. and in florida it's river i'm going to get yeah no i mean that's how it goes but yeah i mean it could definitely go the way that it's going in florida you know up until you know last 20181400000 exponent they were going to get the right to vote and then their governor was like actually i'm going to go pass this law that says you can only get your right to vote if you pay off all your court finds in your feed switch which is a poll tax and may simply a modern day poll tax and also there's no way for them to even figure out what fines or fees are even owed so there's like a catch $22.00 right there but then that was appealed all the way to the supreme court and the supreme court was like our we're going to stick with governor to stand this so so supreme court does not give a yeah so there's nothing to say that something similar couldn't happen or not yeah

that's not yet it's what else you got for us so so we both know that betsy de vos like the queen of school choice basically her scepter is just an oversized school voucher but 5 there's now obviously this ongoing debate over whether or not kids should be in schools and so she's basically using the coronavirus as an excuse to promote school choice through micro schools which are basically community pods of kids in private and later a house and then suddenly they're basically going to be coronavirus centers that once we will they're going to be in for that but it's basically home school meeting private school and these things are not you know a new thing like there have been like coke family funded. think tanks that have been pushing microscopes for years but obviously it's gotten way more popularity with the advent of kobe and so now you have silicon valley start ups that are

capitalizing on this and launching ads that are. they can get easily schools the new micro greens it's healthier for every one yeah during a pandemic i don't know how exactly when you week or. so so obviously right on top of all of this we already know that that sort of os is made her to stand very clear for public schools who don't want to open for obvious safety reasons and these are schools that are already chronically underfunded and they're probably not even going to have all the resources to go you know virtual so it'll be mostly poor kids mostly black kids mostly brown kids that are going to be suffering from of this and not just education as they're not going to make it in the 4 person microscope no i mean look asian process for just 4 spot 4 spots yeah and if you don't like my programs you're not going to make a mistake and. thank you so much natalie mcgill for joining us and that's all we have time for.

here are your headlines from the future on monday you'll see federal officer looking for day in city d.h. as occupies loves cooking for 20 friendly a week from now you'll read department of homeland security secretary chad wolf quits to pursue solo kidnapping projects and in 2 weeks you'll see class hamster forced to quarantine and empty school. that's our show check us out on you tube and portable that t.v. on the app or on line we cam will be back with a new episode in 2 weeks but until next time goodnight and keep fighting.

a short time ago an american airplane got run by a hiroshima. standing up claim any. kind of. how until you. can it's. like most americans growing up after the war the bombs were a great thing they ended the war they say hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides and that's what my grandfather always said was his reason for the decision. truman was hoping for a dual strategy one was to drop the bombs and hope that japan would surrender the number to the americans were trying to send a message to the soviet union there was american poor planning in october 1000 to 45 chosen 20 targets in russia.

54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area russia. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as

we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again. and illegal takeover of the government by a small group. rather than revolution reason. that small group the operation when you have a tiny people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us don't get together and take it back. these are sacrifice. places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation and so you see things like voter suppression building more prisons you seem gerrymandering all sorts of democratic practices are well in that world are well into.

question. protesters stormed several government buildings in beirut calling for justice and accountability after tuesday's devastating explosion the security forces used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse huge crowds gathered in the center of the lebanese capital. country prime minister says that corruption was to blame for the tragedy and calls for early elections. rescue teams continue the search for survivors in the ruins of the bay reported we hear from a nurse who saved 3 newborn minutes after the black. sheep he meets the intensive training minutes the problem in the rubble is when it started when we needed her in songs.
