1:02 am
consider this, did the a & e act out of conviction or cawardes, when it put it's biggest star on the shelf. more hours at work than anyone else in the world, add into that vacation days left unused and an inability to put down a smart phone and email an email. are americas working too hard. and target tarted a data breach puts 40 million credit and debit cards at risk, why can't major corporations stop hackers from getting air information. did the a & e network show courage of cawardes. 67-year-old phil robertson, the patriarch of the duck dynasty clan isn't known for being politically correct. >> my idea is happiness is killing things.
1:03 am
>> women are like lab bra core retrievers they all have quirks, you stay married to 145 years you learn to go with the quirks. >> and the a & e network learned to go with the robinson family after it became a ratings phenomenon. averaging 14 million viewers a show. a self-described bible thumping christian, he paraphrased the bible when he said the following. start with homosexual behavior and morph out with with that. beast quality, sleeping around with this woman, that woman, the male prostitutes the homo sexual offenders, the greedy, the drunk cards the slanders, the swiped hers, they won't inherit the kingdom of god, he also insisted that the black people he grew up were happy, and didn't resent whites. here is part of what he said.
1:04 am
i never with my eyes saw the mistreatment of any black person. preentitlement, prewelfare, you say were they happy, they were godly. they were happy. no one was singing the blues. the human rights campaign, the ncaap, and glad all abouted to those comments. but robertson has his defenders clinoiding former alaska governor sarah palin, texas senator ted cruz, and louisiana governor bobby ginnedle. the governor has some harsh words for a. & e. to highlight miley cyrus over the holiday. >> i think there's hypocrisy on the left when the left is tolerant of every viewpoint except those that disagree with them. so here you have a network saying we will allow miley cyrus to be on this special, and they are trying to silence phil for spiking up and saying his mind? >> does he have a point. for more on skype, he is a senior editor with the
1:05 am
american conservative magazine, with me from cleveland ohio. and political science professor at hiram college. jason,ly start with you, did a & e do the right thing when they put him on this indefinite hiatus. >> well, they did the right thing for money, but not politically or morally. stereotype, it is not something we made up. i the only imagine the things they say on the cutting room floor, if you are trying to get people that represent this older way of thinking you should have just kept them on the air, and say we ripry minded him, and kept him on. no one believes it is about conviction, it is about cash, they think they offend add couple of people, i think it is ridiculous. >> do you agree? was this an act of courage or a case of
1:06 am
corporate cawardes? >> cawardes. they knew -- i think what phil robertson was said was having vulgar and stupid and offensive, but he is a 67-year-old self-described red nick, fund mend callist christian, you knew what you had here. >> they had a choice, when you are run a corporation like this, this is hate speech. some of the things he said not only about african-americans is outrageous. they didn't do their due diligence, they were made sometime back, they should have known this, but i am very surprised at the republican politician whose are coming up comparing this to miley cyrus. >> let's goat to that in a moment. the point about villages by christian made these comments before, and we found something online
1:07 am
that he said a while ago. talking about guy people while delivering a sermon in 2010. >> they committed indecent acts with one another, and they received in themselves the due penalty for their perversions. they are full of murder, envy, strife, and hatred. they are insulate, arrogant, god haters. >> that's extreme as anything he said to g.q. are any of us shocked that he made these excepts? no. >> go ahead. >> no, they can't. this is what you are buying. when we get jersey shore, we expect a bunch of sexist behavior, when you watch family guy, you
1:08 am
watch a bunch of suburban humor from kids. this is what you are purchasing. i do not think it is honest or sincere to fire this guy, or to suspend him. if they want to do it because of a good p.r. move, i don't think it is hate speech, i think it is just ignorant. >> his comments are simply rooted in the bible, he said thursday in a statement this is a quote, my mission today is to go forth and tell people about why i follow christ, and also what the bible teaches. and part of that teaches is that women and men are meant to be together, however i would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me.
1:09 am
what he believes is the same thing that pope francis believes although said in a much more angry and vulgar way, it is basically what pope francis believes that the catholic church and orthodox christianity teaches. the hope is that -- i think there's a real double standard going on here, a robinson from rural south louisiana. >> does he have a point? he bunches it all together. i thought we had reach add point in society, that he is very crude in his comments about the female vagina, and a male's anus, etc., and that how can a man not
1:10 am
want one as opposed to the other, we have come a long way in these conversations and giving a platform as if this is an opinion that's an accepted opinion. i think is wrong. this is clearly hateful towards people that live a lifestyle he doesn't agree with. >> jbs 25 years ago -- i guess it was cbs, jimmy the greek after he made some racist comments on espn dropped rush limbaugh in 2003. no i think it is difference, and those examples make it clear, those are news organizations. even if it is sports news, and they have an obligation to say look, there are people who come here that need to be
1:11 am
interviewed and therefore the attitude you are express willing going to have a negative impact on people who have to work here. duck dynasty is about people who think this way. no one who watches this show is remotely surprise he has this belief system, so the surrenderly say i can't believe he is a big got and a racist, we have to hide him so you can bring him back, it is completely disingenius. be honest. when dog the boundty hunter was caught by a racist was anyone shocked by that? no. an entirement programming believing he doesn't have believed they hired him for. >> that goes to the point that you think that everybody lives in the back words of louisiana is a racist. >> no, i am not saying that, i am saying they hired him because of the believe that he and his family have. >>
1:12 am
it is dishonest to sa say -- it is completely different from being a journalist. >> the center are religious liberty and free speech. according to the senator, phil expressed his personal views and his own religious faith. if that he was suspended from his job. in a free society, anybody is free to disagree with him, be tough main street media should not behave as the thought police. former governor alaska governor sarah palin agreed chiming in with this, saying free speech is an endangered species. those intolerance taking on the duck dynasty for voicing his personal opinion, are taking on all of us. rod, your reaction to that? >> i think the mix up with sarah palin -- i think she make as good point in this way.
1:13 am
phil robertson he stood up for orthodox christian beliefs, it is no big deal for him. because he is wealthy, but what about all the people who may make one mistake in the office place, or say something that expresses their faith that doesn't fit -- they are going to lose their job. and with nothing for them to fall back on, i think there needs to be a lot of push back, not to depend what phil said, but to be less intolerant and besides he doesn't do this on the show, my kids can watch his show, they love his show, if he did that on the show, i would feel a lot different about it. >> isn't she being hypocritical? she and many of her allies were screaming bloody murder when martin bashir made some very awful comments about her. >> and he should have been fired.
1:14 am
what he said, the way he literally attacked homo sexuals as though they are leading a evil lifestyle. to come and support that type of speech is outrageous. >> there's a huge online backlash. when whilely cyrus does he is twerking and very sexualized routine in august, again, that was something that had been rehearsed. mtv knew exactly what she was going to do, still a lot of people were offended, so should someone there have been fired? or is that a different case? because unlike robertson, her kind of outrage again, it sells songs and draws viewers? is. >> right, no, it is completely different. first off if you are watching mtv music awards you are expectable to be
1:15 am
offended. the second thing is, i care nothing for what sarah palin and ted cruz want to say because it is completely disingenius, these are free market capitalists and the decision that a. & e. made was a free decision. their decision is this will offend our audience, this will effect advertisers therefore we get rid of them. they would love to claim this is a liberal backlash, but it isn't. they are embarrassed that their own side has resulted in this man being shut up. people are saying this could turn into something similar to chick-fil-a. big backlash on social media, there's a bag phil facebook page, that says it has 100,000 fans that have signed a petition.
1:16 am
1:17 am
what's trends? is. >> advocates say the death penalty could become a thing of the past, i will tell you more coming up. and what do you think? join the conversation on twitter at a.j. consider this, and on our facebook and gobble plus pages. >> start with one issue ad guests on all sides of the debate. and a host willing to ask the tough questions and you'll get... the inside story ray suarez hosts inside story weekdays at 5pm et / 2pm pt only on al jazeera america was -- prince william was dating kate middleton. >> ross shimabuku is here with sport. >> dennis rodman is in north korea to train basketball players for an upcoming player. he wants everyone to know he's not a joke. this is the same guy who dressed
1:18 am
1:19 am
should enemployed americans be looking for work around the world. unemployment in the u.s. remains stubbornly high. our next guess believes one solution to our sluggish economic recovery may just be to send our unemployed to where the jobs are, overseas. we are joined from washington, d.c., he is the author of an awful in foreign policy.com. whatever happened to give me your poor, your tired your huddled masses, do we need to send them to
1:20 am
other instead? is. >> more than 1 million immigrants became permanent residents of the united states, do americans really have better opportunities when people from overseas continue to think there's more opportunity when they come here? >> i guess the analogy is with trade. for example, that we benefit from exporting goods. and it's a strong part of the growing economy at the moment in the united states. these growing experts. s and great too have access to german wine, the same holds true with migration. that it is great that more migrants are coming here, it would be great
1:21 am
for more spent a bit of their lives abroad. >> well the evidence is inward migration, so people coming into the doesn't residue employment, if nothing the net effect, the overall effect is that it increases employment in the united states. and it certainly increases incomes in the united states. at the same time there is some that can't find jobs here at home, some may want to go to places like chili or hong kong or thailand. oh patters of the world where the economies are growing really strongly, and created a lot of new jobs. come back to the uniteday
1:22 am
states with skills and experience, and contacts overseas and found a company here, or work in an international company that links the two countries. >> so americans going abroad, increasing the economic activity in the ice, and having migrants come here, also increased economic activity here. is i think what you are arguing. but when you look at other countries the reality is that americans are lining way behind. i am born and bread in the american -- and i am delighted that i had the freedom at the age of 20 to come across and live in the united states. and i wish more people could choose where they live with as much freedom as i have been able to have. britain is ahead of the
1:23 am
united states on that, and i think the united states could catch up by improving skills, and perhaps by encouraging more people to take opportunities and programs like the peace corps. >> the question i have is would over countries want an influx of american workers? very few americas speak over languages. >> yes, less than 20% -- about 1/5th can speak spanish and maybe 4% french. having said that, americans have won the advantage going in, which is they speak the global language, which is english, and they one fifth of them do speak spanish for example, so a number of them do already have language abilities. more could pick them up, for all we complain about them, u.s. schools are still some of the best in
1:24 am
the world, means that a u.s. educated person going abroad could be really competitive in local markets. especially for jobs which involve speaking english, trade, international finance. >> isn't u.s. unemployment -- are we really talking about the educating classes going overseas in. >> it is true. let's be honest, this is a bigger opportunity for the college unemployed. college educated unemployment. but among recent graduates there are a lot of them around too p so i accept that this is probably more likely an opportunity for the better educated. but it is an opportunity for all unemploymented americans. especially young ones that aren't held by back by ties of family. >> there are about 6.3 million studies
1:25 am
abroad, and the number that say they are planning to move overseas young americans has quinn up theled in the last but years and numbers that say as many as 40% that 18 to 24-year-olds are interesting in living abroad. >> it is great news. i think that young americans are waking up to the fact that the rest of the world is getting richer, healthier, happier, better restaurants, just -- an exciting place to go visit. on holiday, but also to go study to go live, and some older americans are realizing that it is a great place to go retire. charles, viewer dianne wants to know what the the best countries to move for for work? >> a bunch of countries -- chili not the least among them. brazil, and portuguese
1:26 am
people are traveling to brazil in record numbers too move. maybe a few more americans could catch up with that, but also the fast growing economies of each asia. with the trance pacific partnership, the trade deal we hope to see next year, we should see even more trade across the pacific ocean. and that's an opportunity for more americans to go ray cross the pacific and teach asians how to get their products into the united states. >> >> which still, it is still remaining that, ragan shining hit city on the hill, that we are having this conversation? that we may need to send workers that workers should got to other places. >> no. i honestly think this is a win for america and the world. again, american students are some of the best in the world. the rest will benefit from more students coming to work.
1:27 am
at the same time, america will benefit from having more americans who understand the rest of the world. the evidence is that the more migrants the more trade and investment they get back. this is a great way to keep america, the shining city on the hill. and to take advantage of a rising rest, which offered greater opportunities than ever. from the unemployed to the joe worked. the reality is americas are logging more hours at work, year after year, than our friends in canada, germany, the u.k., france, and japan. for more, i'm joined in our studio psychologist who has studies the work life balance, and the
1:28 am
national coordinator of take back your time. a group that advocates for more vacation and leave time. great to have you on the show tonight. >> sure. >> americans are working longer hours it doesn't look like it will change. a rasmussen survey says that 31% of employed americans work a 40 hour week, 40% work more than 40 hours a week, and that's up from just this last may when rasmus sunday found that 33% worked more than 30 hours every week, why do you see this happen. >> i think it's become a part of the cultural, a lot of people are happy they have jobbed. they look at the unemploymented. they look at the recession, and they feel grateful to be in a position where they can work, where they can catch up with bills and it has become the rat race where we feel in order to do better, at the job, we have to prove to your employer that you
1:29 am
are willing to literally kill yourself at working those extra hours. ist nates there are are 10 million mostly white collar high earning that average more than 60 hour as week. some up to 80 a week, that is far more than other countries. does that work for people, or as dr. just said, are they killing themes for that paycheck? >> i think they are killing themselves the r the paycheck, and this is the result of a great amount of fear, i don't want to be the one with steen as a slacker when the next round of layoffs comes but there's a lot of evidence that not taking vacation time, and not having vacation time, which is another issue. some quarter of americans don't get paid time at all, so it isn't a question about taking it. but the effects of that are very severe. for men who don't regularly take vacations there are about one third more likely to have heart attacks than men that do.
1:30 am
for women that number is 50% more likely to have heart attacks. men anywhere from two to eight times more likely to suffer from depression, when they don't take vacations. and stress in our society in the workplace, has really in the words of some cardiologieses been the new tobacco. we are really literally having heart attacks at earlier ages because we are working ourselves to death. they actually perform worse, those that work 60 hours or 80 hours are performing worse. >> we are talking about diminishing returns. if you work your 30 or 40 hours you are at your optimum, you are doing what you need to be doing, but if you feel that you now are practically enslaved to your computer, to your work site, so when you begin to feel tired, you try to work through that, you try to get that caffeine fix, but you
1:31 am
just end up becoming so much more unfocused. and unable to do the task, and then you end up with sleep issues anxiety issues and then you just are not productive the way that you really need to be. countries including the neithernd las norway, that have very general louse policies including they all worked significantly fewer hours then americans do, they are just as competitive as the u.s., just as productive, and they have rights of unemployment that are no higher than americans. so why are we doing this to ourselves and why isn't something done to change? we will nonmandate business to do anything. and one of those -- the things that always of those other countries do is that they require a vacation time. in europe, if you are in any country in the european union, you start with four weeks paid time off from the first year on the job.
1:32 am
when that happens people get that experience, they see it, they understand how valuable and important it is for them. everybody, we don't doe that. >> we are showing the situation, a comparison between the way americans take vacation and other countries. wads we can see, in france people get 30 day as year, while we look at the u.s. we only get 14. those that do, because 23% as you mentioned earlier do not. and we only take ten of those days. jay ban is the only country that does worse on this front than americans do. we are putting more hours than the japanese these days.
1:33 am
>> is it just a traditional thing? why haven't we changed in we see all of these examples are countries are doing well -- >> and i think it is always become part of our lifestyle, with we look at the magazines the media, here are people that are doing things. this term of multitasking has become the numbdeg eerie if you will, for those of us in the work force, so we feel awesome.com must do more. and we are doing the same thing with our children, now it is 8:00 to 6:00, and then tons of home work. so it has become part of that lifestyle, but we are acting inferior, because we are having more heart attacks we are having administrate health issues and our kids are getting much more stressed out. so we have that break that cycle somehow, so
1:34 am
yes you can work better, but you don't have to work longer. you don't have to work that much harder. but you must be competitive, and remember we have a lot of people in business for themselves and that requires 12 to 14 hour as day. they have to do that. >> that found requiring time off results in better economic performance. they had one group. the second group worked a 40 our work week, they took full vacations they left their blackberries and i-phones whatever their connection was, they left it there at the office. >> important study in the october 2009 issue of harvard business review, the result is that in six areas of performance, all six areas measured that people who worked 40 hour as week, and took their vacations and didn't carry the devices performed bedder and that included overall productivity. it is very clear, the do
1:35 am
thing i want to challenge is the idea we are all doing this somehow because we want to do it. there is simply lots and lots of americans who don't have a choice. they have no protections that allow them to take vacation time, and in my view, if we get to the bottom of this at all, we need to mandate vacation time. that's just a plus, and people need to have that experience. it isn't just that a quarter of americans don't get any vacation time, it is that fully half of all-americans took less than a week off last week. last year. this is absolutely disastrous. and they do it out of fear, they do it because the sense is that -- they may be fired. they are required -- this is -- yes, at the tom levels i think people are overworking by choice, but a lot are not overworking by choice.
1:36 am
it is a good point, and i agree with that. >> given that all the studies agree, that vacation is important, and good for our health. sure, if the employees would pay attention, they could learn they could be much more humane, they have to pay attention to these studies and the data. >> we have to leave it there, thank you. let's check back in. >> antonio, a new study revealed that this year for the second time in 19 years there were fewer than 40 executions across the u.s. the study was done by the death penaltilele information center. that is against capitol punishment. its executive director told al jazeera that he estimated it is "within the realm of possibility" that the death penalty could be outlawed in the united states within the next 12 years.
1:37 am
this year, maryland became the 6th state in six years to get rid of the practice, and a gallop pull earlier shows only 60% of americans support the death penalty, it is a 40 year low. al says death penalty allen is skeptical about it going away, he says not in texas. you can read more at the website. >> straight ahead, worse christmas gift ever. up to 40 million people who went holiday shopping at target had their credit card info hacked. how does that happen? and later on, the new movie saving mr. banks tells the story of how mary pop pins became a movie, but is this just another attempt to make walt disney the man into
1:38 am
was 17. flat out my whole life. >> reporter: motorcycle riding free spirits like this guy need health insurance too. that's is the message coming from insurers with commercials aimed at people who may not have been covered in the past. they offer protection and maybe a little piece of mind. >> to go forward sometimes you have to go back to a time when knew. >> reporter: with 30 million potential new customers, insurance companies are expected to shell out half a billion dollars next year on tv advertising alone. >> insurance companies see opportunity in the potentially millions of new customers, and if you are an insurance company in this country, this is your growth opportunity. >> reporter: insurers, state
1:39 am
exchanges, and the feds collectively purchased $194 million wort of ads just the stream is uniquely interactive television. in fact, we depend on you, your ideas, your concerns. >> all these folks are making a whole lot of money. >> you are one of the voices of this show. >> i think you've offended everyone with that kathy. >> hold on, there's some room to offend people, i'm here. >> we have a right to know what's in our food and monsanto do not have the right to hide it from us. >> so join the conversation and make it your own. >> watch the stream. >> and join the conversation online @ajamstream.
1:40 am
largest breech incond history, how does this happen? >> yeah, this is a big deal. the the way it looks that criminals maybe got access to a server that is responsible for processing all the credit card transactions within the retailer. so the bad guys basically got access to the mainframe, the main server that it seems all that data all year long. tart department figure this out itself. they were alerted by others that there was a breech. so i am not on the up side, so i don't know what systems they have in place, to scan into alert them.
1:41 am
scans for flaws or mall ware on a minute by minute basis, at least daily, and -- and it looks like that did not discover what had occurred. >> what do these guys that get this information, these hacker dozen? will they basically get credit cards and turn them into their own, and charge things on our accounts. >> that would be the base case scenario for them. they would clone the charges and make cash withdrawals in some cases place orders online, and so forth to get products and services and turn that stuff into cash. they will also broker this data, which mines they will sell blocks of 10,000 or more credit card numbers to others
1:42 am
push the fact is, with 40 million credit carts they are probably not going to get to all of them before the credit card companies cancel those cards and reissue new ones. >> tongue they will do that? is given i'm one of those 40 million that shopped at target in that period of time, what does this mean for consumers? will we all see notices? >> yeah, i am one of those consumers and so is my wife, my wife said what should i do, i said go to target, just pay attention to your credit card statement. and more than likely, we will get mushroom credit cards like you. and because -- if they notice 40 million, then chances are they know there's 40 million numbers they know what they are, and they will turn around and they will contact all of the issues banks and say hey, you were part of our breech, and then those credit card companies will reach out the the consumers, you and i, and issue us new cards with a letter saying we think it was involved in a breech, and you will get that
1:43 am
anywhere from the next three weeks or more. >> i don't think they will just cancel all of those cards. i i do think it will time to flesh out. what card numbers were breeched so over the next three weeks to threen't mos or six months that's when most people get the notifications. otherwise you check your statements. i check my statements online weekly, i do that all year long, some people check them monthly, via their paper statements and i also check my statements via a mobile application, so american express, the city bank, and others they all offer you a mobile application.
1:44 am
[so are retailers in general doing enough to protect their customers in. >> so retailers themselves fall under the payment card standards. means they have rules and regulars, set by governing bodies that require them to have minimum standards of security. and the majority of the big retailers, far exceed the minimums and go way beyond that. it is the smaller moms and pops that may not have the resources that don't meet up to the minimums. an organization like target, they are doing everything they should, i'm guessing they are, to protect our information. >> but they obviously got it from them.
1:45 am
we have sort very sophisticated people out there, are they going to keep finding ways around it? >> that is their job to do so. so keep in mind, we say there's no such thing as a 100% security. that security is a journey, it is not a destination. you never fully arrive there. but you strive for that. is the security professional's job is to minimize the risk, and our job is to minimize our risks. >> how much can they minimize those risks in. >> this is the first breech in so many years. we haven't seen this in quite some time. >> and straight ahead, are kids with better test
1:46 am
1:48 am
>> evey sunday night, join us for exclusive, revealing, and suprizing talks with the most interesting people of our time. this sunday, >> i spent my whole life thinking about themes and thinking about how to structure movies, so this is highly unusual. >> the director of the sixth sense, says there are five things we can do to fix education in america >> the united states has education apartheid, that's the facts... >> talk to al jazeera with m. night shayamalan sunday at 7et / 4pt on al jazeera america
1:49 am
1:51 am
1:52 am
>> . >> how accurate is the film made by disney's film studio? let's ask bill wyman who joins us from phoenix, he is a former mpr arts editor, bill, good to see you, the film portrays symptom of the rougher edges, they show him smoking. entertainment weekly and variety both call the film square, but it has gotten some pretty good reviews. >> it is a very very enjoyable piece of outrageous corporate propaganda, so basically have to take it on that terms.
1:53 am
and disney was two things, he was a visionary. he seemed to tap into something deeply american, he works so hard, he bet the farm time after time that he would do this, he put his money where his mouth was. at the same time, this is a disney movie, and i think that both -- for example, it does show him smoking but it doesn't mention that he died of lung cancer, but i think they are a little pretty soft around the edges. it is a little bit outrageous, that they make a movie that excuses that kind of procedure, when that's the way the movies have always done it. >>
1:54 am
something his late daughter dianne tried to fight. she said he was becoming a corporate mascot, and she opened a museum to show his human side. how much has disney gone too far in trying to make its founder more of a myth than a man? >> that's a really interesting question. disney is a borg. it is a shark. it is very focused on cross synthesis, and cross poll lynn nation, and that's why you see so much promotion. tremendous been dedicated to family entertainment. so i wasn't that much offended by the portrayal, because it is enjoyable, and also it is disney movie. they are not going to
1:55 am
explore the darker side there have large been charges that he is anti-similar metic, that portrayed the wolf as a jewish peddler, also been accused of racism because of some imnagery in the song of the south. is some of it a question of applying modern day standards to a guy who lived in a different time those were produced back in the 30's and 40's. >> i think it is fair to say, and i'm not one for whitewashing anyone's background, i have to say, of all the great movie moguls. all of these guys that grew up with power in these -- each of their own magical kingdom, walt disney is by all accounts one of the more ben nine. the worst thing that happened to disney -- not the worst thing, one bad thing is there was a terrible strike, this blew apart his pray term
1:56 am
