2 villages aren't livin miserable lives sleeping on an ant hill in the rain now imagine on top of that there are 7 empty huts with no one living in them no one at all call me crazy but i think you might just maybe give the huntley's people one of the empty hearts and fact if you didn't you'd be maniacs so the question is if we understand that behavior morally as to quit as human beings as interacting human beings if we understand it when we're in the atmosphere of the small village why do we allow the complete opposite to go on around us all of the time why do we allow the united states of america to be the most reprehensible disgusting version all the life for so many people let's look at some of the numbers there are well over

550000 homeless people in the united states on any given night that's even before the pandemic and there are 40000000 americans facing eviction in the coming months there are also 1400000 vacant residential properties in the us places not being used at all that could easily house those who need it and that's not even counting empty apartments and office spaces i mean we could probably give every homeless person their own vacated j.c. penney's or c. or their olive garden a game south or entire empty shopping mall forever 21 and quickly prime told food court gosh. and the numbers get even worse if we talk about empty land bill gates is now the largest farm land owner in america he has bought up 242000 acres

of farmland and 27000 acres of other land oh so the maniac who is buying up the world's vaccine system is now buying up the world's farmland what could go wrong and meanwhile ted turner the founder of c.n.n. owns the land of the size of delaware imagine if every very rich person decided to buy off as much land as those 2 assholes imagine if even the 100 richest people bought up jell-o. a delaware's worth of land that a 100 people would own most of america and all of the rest of us would live in a teeny tiny rhode island worth of land all stacked on top of each other drinkin dallasites lemonade in a dirty destiny orgy in unhappy orgies. so with all of these these land in homes and in private hands while people go homeless or roof insecure as the

mainstream media would probably call it it only makes sense to take these houses back and even n.p.r. national petroleum radio did a story on it this week the homeless are reclaiming empty spaces the poor people's army in philadelphia has reclaimed over 30 spaces with people living in them and just the other day the national lawyers guild put out a statement that they stand in solidarity with these families who are shelter in reclaimed and abandoned homes and maybe you're an initially think to yourself how could the lawyers guild endorse breaking the law i mean the law says these people do not own these houses they're staying in so therefore end of story they are breaking the law lawyers indorsing that would maybe like pay the endorsing the double baconator sandwich with a side of bacon milkshake but any lawyer would tell you the law is really

just a recommendation not a very good one either not all lawbreaking is wrong most of us make exemptions for laws that are on ethical or immoral slavery used to be legal in this country it used to be illegal for a black person to marry a white person only a few years ago it was a legal for 2 gay people to get married i hope we can all agree that's not. in fact some of the most legendary heroes you can name broke the law martin luther king jr spent time in jail for breaking the laws of that time harriet tubman would have been executed if he had been caught many labor organizers were executed for trying to get rights for workers george washington was the leader of an open rebellion against the laws of the land and yet he like our biggest hero

dude we put up a giant penis that you just very young think about that for a 2nd he was one of the biggest lawbreakers ever and yet now he is this nation's. quite a shift i think but then again the future is female oh well. i can list all kinds of things that are still illegal that should not be blocking the shipment of weapons that will be used to kill hundreds of people blocking and oil pipeline that is literally causing our extinction trying to attend the presidential debates as a 3rd party candidate stopping the police officer from abusing someone is illegal stopping a police officer from unlawfully arresting someone is illegal punching a billionaire in the face punching a billionaire in the crotch kicking a billionaire in the shin kicking a billionaire the other issue you know what i'll just i'll email you the full list after the show i've discovered 364 places you could kick

a billionaire just on his or her body that's all it took a lot of research but you know it's a passion hobby so we've established that many things that are illegal should not be it's also easy to establish that many things that are legal should not be billionaires stealing 50 trillion dollars from working americans over the past 4 decades for example dropping bombs on innocent people as the us does constantly our economic wars that are killing tens of thousands of venezuela in venezuela or iran or syria civil asset forfeiture in which police claim a crime has been committed and then they steal people's property from them killing or maiming innocent people as the police often do sometimes for business often for pleasure all of those things are legal so i hope we've established that just because something is illegal or legal based on our current criminal justice system

does not mean we can assume those designations are accurate or just or even moral therefore i ask again what is wrong with a homeless person reclaiming a completely empty house. actually i can't remember if i asked you that yet so maybe this is the 1st time but it sounded better to go therefore i ask you i got an icon i always wanted to throw that in there and also ladies and gentlemen of the array even though that would make any sense right now but i wanted to so what's truly wrong with it with taking back the house you can argue that it's not fair to the victims of us who are the ventilators not the people living in the house because there was no one living in the south the people who built the house that i don't care the people in living next door that had no it's none of their business the people who own now as well often that's a bank which isn't even using the property and likely has thousands of empty

properties they've stolen from former homeowners which brings us to another moral question why isn't it wrong and be legal for a bank to steal a help from a homeowner in the 1st place as we learned with the sub prime mortgage catastrophe of 2008 the banks are often practicing predatory lending in which they act as predators just like sharks and tigers and very large labrador retrievers. no that that didn't really have the impact i was looking for let's go back to sharks and tigers food scary. anyway the banks are predators tricking people into taking out loans that they will never be able to keep up with most of us believe that dadt is a form of fraud that should be illegal yet no wonder the banks went to prison for

predatory lending and most of the millions of homeowners during that catastrophe still lost their own to avoid getting in the weeds err let's just acknowledge that often banks are acting in ways that should be illegal if the laws were written to benefit the rich and often the bank would hardly noticed a homeless person is using the abandoned home they technically own so late is editor gerri i ask you again what is wrong with a homeless person reclaiming a completely empty house oh that's so good oh my god you should try to drive that even if you just do it to your cat you should try it let's consider another question what is ownership sure it's the idea that someone purchased the land and the house but that's giving all of the power to the rich to those who can easily buy up land and houses not even know what they're doing and even notice and since most very rich people are asked that's given all the power to the world.

should all that power only reside in the hands of the very rich do human beings have no power just because they didn't become a banker or an investor who does a poor. that's well enough and. i think that. i think that's when i think he's doing fine actually but does a poor homeless person not have some rights even if they have 0 dollars to their name i would say it's much more ethical and logical for use to be a large part of what determines ownership use the person getting use out of something should have some right to it like willie nelson like the blue liquid. even if he didn't buy that anti for is he's still getting used out of it because he's the one drinking it. i assume and maybe

not a good example point is we need a new set of human rights a new set of unbreakable inarguable rights added after the ones about having guns in red coats not sleeping on your couch or whatever it should include a right to housing a right to food a right to good health care clean water free education universal basic income these things should not be debatable and imagine how different you would feel if you lived in a society that had no homelessness no hunger nobody lacking healthcare nobody destitute and dying of preventable diseases and that you don't different you'd feel about our system you'd probably feel something we haven't felt in a long time pride pride in a system that works for everyone instead of just the rich. come to you from

washington d.c. the belle of the bases redacted and. welcome only can't know if they're going to remind another week another check in on the old big board of biden progress how is the most amazing us president of the past few days doing is he living up to his glorious promises i mean many of us would settle for him just continuing to remember his name but let's see how he's doing given up on $15.00 minimum wage check just pouring over $26000.00 immigrants already check bombing syria. check

continuing economic war against venezuela and iran check stopping the troop withdraw all those check continuing space force aka militarizing outer space check not giving everyone medicare for all so people can get procedures they need like prostate checks check and sending out $2000.00 checks no check well there you have it despite not sending out $2000.00 jugs of biden has garnered a lot of checks well done and moving on in a shocking jest says it confession and why p.t. officer has said he was involved in the killing of malcolm x. now come next was killed during a speech at the audubon ballroom in new york city in 1965 this upset a lot of people by as me out is. he had an idea i mean you can't

you can't just have people running around with ideas on about our societies ideas ideas ideas ideas i guess that'll get other 2 people questioning things that before you know it all kinds of people think that a completely race and system with an entrenched class structure built on wage slavery and totalitarian corporate control all. the better than idea i mean i would be awful you come up with a better system the only idea we've had so far anyway 3 men were imprisoned for that assassination 2 of them were completely innocent and now just last week raman would a former new york police officer made a deathbed confession statement just were dying wood said that one of his jobs was to infiltrate malcolm x.'s inner circle and then ensure that malcolm x.

is security detail was arrested days prior to the killing guaranteeing malcolm x. didn't add door security that night i'm glad this came out but i got it so unlike today but i wish it would have happened 40 years ago sure i would have been a baby at the time but still i would have been like. yet again the truth comes out decades after the fact just like in 190935 years after the death of m.l.k. we saw that a jury found a name to government agencies had conspired to kill martin luther king and that james earl ray was innocent can we just speed up this process please can we get it down to 0 i don't know 5 years or something like when oh when will we learn who killed fidel castro haha one minute he's a spry young man and 90 and then bang i am dead as

a door knob you're telling me the cia didn't play a role in that. my personal theory is that using some top secret chemicals between $158.20 they quietly age castro causing him to grow old and his heart to stop it's a plan so dastardly it would never be suspected. anyway point being yet again this time with malcolm x. we learn our ruling only are willing to stop at nothing to make sure they maintain their iron grip on control to make sure their exploitative and racist class system continues we've got a quick break but don't forget you can get all of our content any time at portable t.v. and you can also listen to all of my content as a free podcast it's called moment of clarity on any podcast platform i'll be right back with a lot more. of. the or tactics that can be used to get innocent people to

confess to crimes they didn't commit i don't even think people in the us really get that the police are allowed to lie to you the person who falsely fast actually came to believe the lie that they were told about their own behavior once a false confession the stake in the case is closed and nobody really can tell the difference between a good confession and one that isn't. during

the vietnam war u.s. forces. there was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know. the . country per capita. millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this small agricultural country. even today kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago is the us making amends for the tragedy and. help to the people need in that little. welcome back i'm still the camp would go now to texas where oil and gas companies despite their failure to provide enough energy statewide are cashing in on the

recent blackout to speak on the matter we're joined by correspondent naomi care avani who is on the ground giving texans of emergency use of her portable u.s.b. charger. hello lee you know me good to see you so as you know texans were over charged a total of $16000000000.00 for power during the free is $16000000000.00 yes to keep the lights on for an hour in an average household that cost about $9000.00 that's an increase of 11700 percent so a magically a $5.00 roll of toilet paper costing $58500.00 so you could either spend your retirement fund for 3 squares of charmin or you could train yourself to use kitty litter if you're smart $9000.00 an hour there is obvious price gouging during an emergency of crisis this is why a texas energy company literally said that this snowstorm was

a jackpot for them oh that was the c.f.o. of comstock resources who has since apologized for his honesty i don't know why for him these storm clouds have a silver dollar lining but there's worse companies like greedy which calls itself the energy billing greedy sold consumers power at home sale and fix prices much like adjustable rate mortgages sold during the housing bubble gritty was promptly banned by taxes when people realize they meant were as in expensive greedy it's like the microsoft paper clip clippy running your power grid oh it's worse than a paper clip with eyeballs gritty is actually owned and run by mcquarrie an australian investment bank which feeds on the losses and made $250000000.00 during the search pricing in texas mack what mcquarrie it's all strongly in for turning

soul crushing misery into money they're the number $2.00 gas trader in the u.s. and. access to 80 percent of gas lines in the u.s. the australian bank also profited off the california but blackouts this summer which critics said was climate change price gouging the money is so good during emergencies energy providers might be looking to create them i mean forget natural disasters your home will get wrecked by a tornado that's actually coming from a giant fan powered by b.p. or imagine a hurricane named sushi by dyson but good news storms will no longer a girls' names i'm sure they'll have enough natural disasters to choose from well now mcquarrie is taking over american infrastructure so they can cash in on all the

crumbling and biden's infrastructure plan will include public private vulture capitalist made trips mcquarrie already bought toll roads including the chicago skyway the south bay expressway in san diego and the indiana toll road they already control some of our roads. well not exactly the last 2 were bankrupted but according to the american prospect this company still managed to profit off running those projects into the ground despite bad traffic projections and mismanagement mcquarrie can just disappear like gritty and pass the remaining expense on to the taxpayers i mean behind every good infrastructure deal is a taxpayer bailout because it's not you money it's. money so they could just cut and run when they would go but yes they can i mean shit in australia

and be saving koalas from a fire that single thing their country or saving their kids from a giant vampire bats are from mel gibson off his meds why are they getting involved in other countries disasters they can multitask well thanks naomi. all right now it's time to get to some of the stories we didn't get to so now we're getting here is ridiculous bonnet natalie mcgill daily natalie i don't have a cold what you guys are so this week the house of representatives passed for the people act which is meant to put a stop to any plans to increase voter suppression by mandating that states provide 15 days of early voting mandate auto voter registration and we kind of already know that this is going to get tied up in the senate when republicans try to filibuster it probably going to breed like races passages from diet dr seuss both. the time what's now being talked about is an amendment that was proposed by representative

corey bush and that was geared toward reestablishing voting rights for incarcerated people and it ended up failing by a vote of 972328 so it shows like a real division between moderate democrats and progressive democrats. basically. and you know as we saw in florida where governor ronda sanchez was basically fighting as hard as possible to make sure 1400000000 xcel and couldn't get their right to vote back you know granting voting rights to incarcerated people in exile and it's a huge part of the voting suppression puzzle you know especially given prisoners in most states are counted in the population that the city that the prison is and they're not allowed to vote where they're actually from and there are several states that have passed laws that prohibit you know using the prisoners in redistricting like maryland in new york washington state but you know corey bush said by them rejecting this amendment that's going to disenfranchise millions of people about like 5000000 people i heard there was also garbage snuck into this bill that makes it harder for 3rd parties to to run

a presidential candidate so you know lots of problems with this bill. well it's so so according to a study from the social science research network cities that held black lives matter protests saw a 20 percent drop in deaths by police and that's that he compared police killings in city. feel and protests with those that didn't and they found that protest and those protests like the 300 fewer deaths nationwide between 2014 when the movement started and 21000 so basically when the cops feel like the spotlight is on for some odd reason they behave a little better a little better and faster on a little. too much because they said that the protests increased the chances that local police departments accountability measures like cameras were body cameras and that's not to say that they kept the body cameras on them at all divers or there are conveniently missing chunks of footage like that clearly happening but you know but the researchers also acknowledge that there are huge you know gaps in federal

data on federal police involved shootings and it's definitely under counted and certain parts of the us that don't have media attention on it and most journalists have to get that information from boyer requests which i just imagine i just imagine foyer requests as like coasters for a police department this like like the suit is like the number of like coffee rings like form a spiral graph like they actually from philly or requests. well thank you now and thank you. and here are your headlines from the future you may have heard that the biden ministration is saying their inability to pass a $15.00 minimum wage is because the congressional parliamentarian won't allow it well tomorrow you'll read the democrats can't believe america bought the idea that there's someone called the parliamentarian in congress and next week you'll find

out texas governor relax his pants mandate insisting texans should have full frontal for a. damn straight full frontal freedom in april you know learn. in shocking a deathbed confession henry kissinger gives a detailed 63 mile long list of people he's killed and that's our show but you get my book bullet points and punch lines at leat camp book dot com intro by chris hedges forward by jimmy door and check out the podcast version of our show called moment of clarity until next time goodnight and keep fighting.
