hello and welcome to a jack to deny v.i.p. camp today on this show what if there were no borders what if we weren't citizens of this country or that country but instead just citizens of the world would it and most wars are nations one of the key reasons we don't have peace we never seem to have peace well an amazing human being named gary davis thought so and he made it his life's mission to make us all citizens of the world there's a new documentary out about the man and the movement titled the world is my country and the director arthur connecticut is here to speak with me about it plus they only care of danny will bring us the weekly offensive and correspondent anders leave breaks down the law is about the new labor bill called the pro act but 1st
2:31 pm
here now is my interview with the director of the world is my country arthur connex thanks for taking the time to be here and thoroughly appreciate it. so i just watched your new documentary the world is my country the story of gary davis who passed away in 2013 but obviously it's a wonderful and inspirational story shame to say i didn't know much about him before the movie but before i watched it but he lived an extraordinary life in which he tried to unite the world by eliminating nation states and thereby eliminating war and after he saw the horrors of world war 2 he declared he was simply a citizen of the world so how did you 1st end up working with gary davis or getting to know his work well actually i didn't know him very 1st time years in the world or had interest in me and i and i actually. worked. side we're on
2:32 pm
silicon valley trying to get some that funding for a feature film that we transport people into a positive future and he said we want to do a film about a positive future we're actually read by dad's book my country is the world and i read the book i've got a copy already it's a phenomenal story and i should just throw action drama this is make it right movie and so i got a story of life story rights we 1st a screenplay which sony pictures loved and they actually made them for that for a half hour but it was too expensive. it was like blockbuster sized budget you know airplanes but even he was shot down bomber planes big stage production numbers so we probably went with it back to great and we just probably got amazing footage of him as an actor you know you've seen britannic and rod right now doing a story in a riveting friday joyous way that the audience was just going crazy over and then mostly after he passed we got to see the rock out of this but it's just so
2:33 pm
thrilling that is finally get out to the world but then he started all of research and oh my god we've found credible cargoes and we're going to every step of this incredible journey with eleanor roosevelt and our and our commercial and our nice albert einstein said this is the guy he said to carry brass he knew the way that humanity would die by its own hands or continue to exist and einstein said he was going to vote the rest of his life at that period trying to build a way that we can build a lot like i was talking about and the areas are right not this. lot that you know the new i cannot do world order and he's going to ask you are you scared me to do the work of power and money or a life on the iron. doors but he really isn't that this whole better idea that people power the planet but just to back up for a minute for people who don't know the story in the 19 forty's and fifty's and.
2:34 pm
being a bomber in world war 2 gary davis renounced his american citizenship declared he was a citizen of the world and it then created a lot of problems for him such as the kind of incredible to mind when he was trapped on the line between germany and france neither country letting him in but it also starred in the international kind of movement of to follow his lead can you talk a little about that movement and what it meant. yes i 1st of all i want to say jerry actually gave something precious is american citizenship even consumer right now so that is a legal term you use when you when you we're here when you get your national citizenship to come over also the computer world when he left the embassy that they said there's no such thing there is now but he officially gave up national citizenship and he said he said it's an act of love for america because he cares about america and he wants a raise or so i've been to the higher level he wanted to follow what america's
2:35 pm
founders when they raised their sovereignty from virginia and maryland and so i'm a great united states he said we have to raise our sovereignty to the local level that doesn't mean you're going to maryland and virginia and all that you know we will still have our countries and our rich cultures anything we're protected we all have our incredible diversity having them protection a lot of illegal at the low level you know it's an incredible fact he realized when he was in this bomber plane and he was killing civilians on the ground and his own brother was you know and heard say why am i killing these people because they're on the wrong side of some invisible alliance i don't even know these people and then he realized and said why wasn't i arrested for killing those people why weren't the people arrested and you know let's just go there's no law outside of nations it's not illegal to kill people every single country says it's illegal what happened he went to paris and asked that official get this in ship and france said you know
2:36 pm
what you can't you know you have to leave it nobody could be here without papers well the u.n. does meeting in paris that year and so they had to clear the polling station at a local international territory for the duration of the u.n. session so you're right there in camp that i said ok and i'm going to go up there very well as. i go on. and these guys look at this for. there you will be. back so there is like humor and and joy as the credible mission that with i think sparked such a you know albert albert schweitzer african movie john paul. 2 monday. and he always practically actually runnable french intellectuals bases. and 20000 people rallied with and as the velodrome on december 9th and
2:37 pm
demanding that the u.n. recognize the rights of humanity and the very next day december 10th the soviets who had been adamantly blocking eleanor roosevelt universal declaration of human rights think this is an illegal the tunisian our sovereignty and so i stepped aside a stain and then it gets passed unanimously and that is kind of getting documented beginning to develop a lot of how we got to stick the environment there and so on and we've got to give it has to be not guns and bombs but people 'd kind of enforcing it with our consumer power i can our our recognition a lot you know you don't you don't you know run stop signs because. it's illegal you can get killed and so i missed the law you just knew except as part of a pattern you don't need. every place you need to accept a system the law. we all live by and once we have this kind of system.
2:38 pm
we the people can solve all in this problem facing our planet credibly invented species and we can solve the all environmental problem we just need the tools and they're going to do it and we lacked out of that fighting back in these boxes called nation states why why does everybody in your opinion cling to these ideas that these days is just so important and you know if someone is born across that low. fine then they're completely different than me and i should have no problem with dropping bombs on them even babies and elderly because they were born on that other side of the line like is it is it is it a fear of what we're trying to deal with me or is it mr recht that anger towards problems in people's lives why do so many people cling to our imaginary nation national lines. well i i think it all starts with you know 1st of all. we get together with larger and larger units you get together with our plan that gives us more security than just being alone we get together our plans get together
2:39 pm
to try were more or more as they try to get the formation that we're more safe the problem is we haven't stepped up to the next level. and we are all we're all safe with that so we're still stuck at that level i was you know back in 7076 it was incredible invention to send people live or somebody to a distant city to to represent us and both president create a democratic system but gary says move that now. we can all meet in the same room the global road 'd we don't want the same thing we want a safe to use your kids we want clean air. we want to be secure we want to be able to practice and have our obese and not have forest. and this lawns are going to rot and focusing on others and then destroying others are violating the world law which is to say you know you can have the oppressing others but as long as you're just within your community having your different types of questions that should be
2:40 pm
protected and that's of course what the word gratian of human rights says and that's where. you can inspire the world to realize today and that's where i do hope people will come to to that world is my country. that it's like they're fine now it's just on public broadcasting stations all over the country you can click there and find out when it's be shown your area or it's not shown you can get to t.v. and it'll tell you how you can get it in your area and that's anything to watch the film right there the world is my. that's a waste 'd of your p.b.s. station and your u.b.s. affiliate so we're in this amazing story and for those who are interested you can also still get a world power. which gary davis helped create you held it up earlier the world passport so anyone can apply for one of these and millions of people there and there it is and millions of people of have done so over the years can you talk
2:41 pm
about the world past for program and how it's helped people through the decades. well the interesting thing about the past is that it has been stamped by a 100 and over 180 of the world's 186 nations in the un so i know i'm a strong nations but most of that was in the past just so happens but it really depends on the border it used to be much more i think widely accepted and after 911 when there's been much tougher controls and even with many national 'd forests you can't travel to other places and and and it's much more much more restricted but what it does do it does 2 things 3 things 1st of all like as you each asked to identify it with humanity as a whole secondly it's an indication document you know if you don't have an identity and so many places even get medical care your kids can kinda school so as soon as
2:42 pm
the document and now they're working on making a digital identity even more powerful people than the ballot that because we've seen so much need for. testing 1000000 stateless people need this need some identity and they can't get it and you see how countries change you know used to be you know a member of the soviet union and that probably maybe your country now doesn't have a passport or you know i met with lance last burgas who left the scene revolution that he was the 1st person they had a. man and he said gary world passport 2 weeks after he left and he was so thrilled because now we. were madly passport independent and that we. were. also all. over the story and by the way. will all over have used this past. hour.
2:43 pm
around the world so it's a great a great way to identify. now these are all just step outside the borders because really at heart once we do stuff. that's when we are you know. i think it's still important you've done for so many people like you said helping them get married or. get their kids registered so many things that that that document it's been important for sell it really is a powerful powerful movement a powerful idea this film is incredible the world is my country dot com is where people can get it and i can't thank you enough for for the time really appreciate it we've got a short break but don't forget to grab every episode for free at portable dot tv and join our weekly e-mail it's free by texting the word redacted 223-3777 i'll be
2:44 pm
right back with a lot more. hey everyone i'm joined by my old friend mr ellis williams can a mr beings you call me and you tell me you said man i've got car shield and it was one major getting out of this whole issue and i know to manufacture one cares about the run out i don't want to do stuff with expensive car right so i gave cause to a local cover of a very affordable and there was no long term contract who was up to that transmission with all month call to do my mechanic they call causal and say my family $2400.00 car shield is america's number one auto protection company their administrators have paid out over a $1000000000.00 in claims and cover most vehicles from 500-215-0000 miles you'll receive 247 roadside assistance courtesy towing rental reimbursement add know what dish will charge give car shield
2:45 pm
a call today before it's too late remember the cost will cause protect yourself now against expensive auto repair bills call 805893761. i'm holland cook i invite you to climb with me. streaming video from that higher fit to glimpse the big picture question more. from. your sports. welcome
2:46 pm
back i'm still a little camp and now here's naomi here vani with the weekly offensive. oil companies are getting enthusiastic about stopping climate change a little too enthusiastic exxon and mounts it has a low carbon strategy unit does that mean they're going to retire the oil rigs no no no they found a way to cuba pumping instead exxon is offering to clean our air shell and exxon are looking to profit from capturing customers carbon emissions which sounds a lot like way monetise diarrhea the technology they're using to clean up their mess is called carbon capture and storage it's a process in which carbon is removed from the air and stored in the ground which on its face seems like a sisyphean task to pump out carbon from the ground release it into the air suck it out of the air and then return it to the ground but fossil fuel companies see it
2:47 pm
another way it's an honorable burial for oil returning it to its home however this is it technology is not very cost effective when you compare it to another carbon capturing technology tree. but don't worry you can still pay money to have c o $2.00 removed from the air in your name you'll just pay $5.00 times more for it and can't believe that they even sold the trees marketing plan while exxon hopes to profit eventually they're asking for a little help to get their little project off the ground and in the air exxon proposed a giant 100000000000 dollar hub to capture carbon dioxide emissions along the u.s. gulf coast and sexes but warned that government funding would be required to pay for and develop it so if i understand correctly carbon capture is a highly technical yet earth friendly way for the fossil fuel industry to capture
2:48 pm
our wallets some people call it a vacuum for the air but it's so much more than that it's like one of those dyson vacuums that has all these unnecessary attachments end up on your floor and become fatal hazards for you and your children and carbon removal pilot studies air pollution increased because of the fuel required to power the technology so carbon capture is doing its job just as well as this high tech garbage truck amazing i mean it works kind of. just to give you a sense of where we are with c o 2 sucking technology the high priest of innovation even on months announced he was going to give $100000000.00 to inventors that can come up with a new way to capture carbon so to be clear we're in the bear for billionaires sweepstakes phase of this science it's not even a serious enough ensure for shoes some scientists call it unicorn technology
2:49 pm
because it doesn't even exist yet on a large scale yet we're relying upon it this is just like open couples who rely on the fiction that there is tons of bisexual unicorns who are just so happy and super chill about being a 3rd there's maybe one or 2 in your metropolitan area let's be serious environmentalists say that faith and hoovering the air technology will only serve to distract from cheaper proven and faster ways of reducing carbon emissions like wind solar or not turning the amazon rain forest into a tennis court transitioning energy infrastructure away from fossil fuels as well as planting trees and reducing deforestation is a much better way to address carbon emissions says a stanford university professor scientists agree that while projects like $100000000000.01 the exxon is proposing have proved to be expensive failures but carbon capture can be useful on a small scale to prevent emissions at the source of heavy industry of like steel or cement making carbon capture technologies can scrub c
2:50 pm
o 2 out of polluters emissions so that it doesn't enter the atmosphere in the 1st place it's not new technology it's been around since the 1970 s. because you have to scrubbing can be an effective way to increase oil production which scientists now advise against so what's the best use of c o 2 or no well actually pump the c o 2 in an oil well to make the oil less dead so it'll float to the top of the world more productive so this is called enhanced oil recovery the oil. companies love this because they actually can then take the c o 2 and then increase their oil production which means we'll burn even more c o 2 burn more oil for transportation and other uses that will result in even more air pollution and global warming so all we got from promoting deaker position through c o 2 capture was more oil exactly what we didn't need when the push to decarbonise started in 2008 will companies like exxon one hundred's of millions of dollars in
2:51 pm
tax breaks for simply making their business more efficient however we're not even sure they've been capturing and keeping the carbon underground because the government probes found companies claiming carbon capture tax credits didn't follow the e.p.a. requirements so we know at least oil companies have been dishonest about carbon capturing this honest about the effects of climate change this honest in the misinformation campaigns they've waged over the years against climate science knowing it was true and now were supposed to trust them with $100000000000.00 i mean how do they have the gall to ask do they think we're stupid. you know what they're probably right exxon could probably sells a green technology in the form of a bundle of sage the size of the washington monument and after
2:52 pm
a burns would be like the air feels so clean now retrofitting coal fired plants to have carbon capture technology seems like a good solution in the short term but it locks us in with an industry that has not only been polluting but lying about it we don't have to totally abandon the 2nd ology could prove to be useful in the future but we don't have to help the fossil fuel industry stay in business with it so if you google the new labor build the pro act the 1st to link is an ad that will tell you the pro act will just royal america's labor knowers the 2nd link is from n.p.r. telling you the pro act will protect workers right to join a union and actually fight back against corporate rulers they don't use those words so who's telling the truth to dig into it here's our very own intelligence failure
2:53 pm
correspondent and usually. roughly one 3rd of americans do good work as either their primary or secondary job one of the advantages of this kind of work touted by companies like goober and grub is flexibility when you work for one of these apps you have the flexibility to work a minimum wage job take care of your crying baby make it to bankruptcy court on time pick up your car before it gets repossessed and squeeze in 2 hours of making deliveries that mostly consist of you sitting around waiting to get aside enough orders to hit $7.00 on your check next week but soon all of this could change the pro act which stands for protecting the right to organize and much to my dismay not pickle in rarified octopi is a bill that recently passed the house of representatives it would assure in several huge changes to labor law in america the bill would effectively end intel union right to work laws institute financial penalties on employers that retaliate
2:54 pm
against workers who organize britain boyer's captive audience meetings and bar employers from permanently replacing strikers if the senate isn't careful workers in the united states could end up having the same rights and standard of living as they do in just about every other 1st world country senators can only do so much delay that's why american capitalists are fast at work pulling their levers in the news industry and social media trying to convince the public that the pro act will cause a recession mass unemployment and make millions of people lose their health care as if those things aren't already happening anyway now normally bosses would be laying on the red baiting and anti-union propaganda thick but that's gotten harder to do especially during the pandemic. that's why the ruling class is trying a new strategy appealing to freelancers are you a nuber driver a writer a musician a newer driver likes to call himself a writer slash musician will look out because the pro act is coming for. your
2:55 pm
livelihood the outrage has been directed at the pro x. a.b.c. test which legally defines what a freelancer it's sounds simple enough simple as a.b.c. but if you ask concerned journalists on the freelance beat like those salt of the earth folks over at forbes magazine this provision would be a disaster just listen to university of illinois professor michael arroyo who says that the law would possibly limit work for women retirees college students and other similar demographics if companies are forced to turn independent contractors into official employees with official benefits all just hire less people in the 1st place sounds bad in that context but something tells me there might be a little bit more to lose points than forbes lets on turns out in the subsequent interview he says that the forbes column misrepresents his views when an employer is unionized they typically don't start hiring more people he says in other words it is employers who threaten jobs he explains not the program doesn't it just feel
2:56 pm
great to live in a country where companies get to hold the economy hostage the 2nd they're asked to treat workers with a shred of dignity the truth is though none of that actually applies to the pro act since it would not in fact change the employment status of freelancers the only thing the law would alter is whether freelancers engaged in concerned activity are protected by the national labor relations act protections that tend $99.00 workers currently lack right now with freelancers want to unionize or go on strike current labor law leaves them seriously at risk they can even get charged with price fixing . freelance strikes can have a serious impact sometimes just remember the graphic design shortage of 2002 thousands of business cards had to stay blank if too many independent contractors find out about this in join groups like freelancers for the pro act it will be very
2:57 pm
bad news for the scores of millionaires billionaires corporate lobbies and koch funded astroturf organizations trying like hell to make sure this bill never becomes law and that the labor movement never rises again that's why they're pumping rules of money into a misinformation campaign to deceive and divide the working class in the words of the great scholars in the offspring they got to keep them separate perfect record i mean originally with redacted tonight and that's to show but we have a new redacted tonight tomorrow and since we're heavily surprised online the best way to keep up with our new content is to join our free email list just text the word redacted to 33777 or internationally go to leave camp dot com until next time goodnight give 5.

hey everyone i'm joined by my old friend mr ellis williams aka mr big you call me and you tell me he said man i got caught he'll and it worked one major getting out of this whole issue and i know to manufacture warranty is about to run out i don't want to do stuff with expensive car right so i gave cause to local coverage with very affordable and there was no long term contract few months after that transmission went on one call to through my mechanic they call causal and say my family $2400.00 car shield is america's number one auto protection company their administrators have paid out over a $1000000000.00 in claims and cover most vehicles from 500-215-0000 miles you'll receive 247 roadside assistance courtesy towing rental reimbursement add know what dish will charge give car shield a call today the 4th to late remember costs will cause go call them protect yourself now against expensive auto repair bills call 805893761.
