11:30 pm
i am actually speechless because of obama's waffling another holocaust could happen give me a break talk about sensationalizing and fear mongering and you wonder why we can't make any progress in the middle east peace process you know i've never heard of this group before so we decided to take a little bit of a closer look at who the hell they really are other than being totally out of their minds so it turns out that they david whores it is freedom center claims on their website to defend american values and institutions and to use its journalistic an organizational assets to fight the wars at home and abroad so can somebody tell me which war they fighting here until the war being waged by radical leftists targeting our country's intellectual and political culture you know i kind of hope that i can as part of that if it means that being at war with this particular group they basically dedicate their time to helping families flames of islamophobia and then in america clearly there's a reason and there's
11:31 pm
a need for free speech in this country but there is no need for ads like this and if you count two point seven billion dollars in military aid from obama dis year as waffling well then there's something wrong with you count people and of standing up against that makes me a radical left is that i said i guess i am so david whores as freedom center if you really want to engage in a war i'm ready and waiting so to the freedom center we are calling you on your b.s. in your bare sing ad and that's why you are tonight's tool time when. now the story unfolding in the past twenty four hours of the chilean miners rescue is the feel good story of the year around the globe people have been stopping to watch it was really one by one the thirty three miners are being brought to safety now the first miner thirty one year old florencio avalos was pulled to safety just after eleven pm eastern time tuesday night when his little boy and his family rushed to his side it really brought tears around everyone's eyes of the world i know that i
11:32 pm
was mesmerized by this entire event but would have been just a few minutes after the meeting is what drives some people crazy when it comes to dealing with the media all my reports say the reporters pushed and shoved to be the first to interview them pulling on the hair of those in the way throwing punches and almost knocking others to the ground so the family decided to retreat into a small tent but they had instead of the media either you see hundreds of journalists and trampled the tent in a mad rush just to try to speak to them and all my reports say that two chilean police officers watched from nearby but didn't even step in and ollie when the traffic tent was trampled to the media finally grow hard and disperse you know this mayhem stood out in an otherwise wonderful event and which families reporters like shared in the joy of seeing the miners emerging one by one from two thousand feet below the earth they reminded us of the human capacity to survive to an event to
11:33 pm
help one another and then the media had to go remind us of everything that is wrong with this world that you know the psychologist and rescue workers are now rushing to teach these men how to best handle their new fame post mine they'll be taught how to deal with reporters as well as the basics of opening a bank account and personal financial management one psychologist even said online the many of these guys aren't wealthy they've got a basic education and they might not be prepared for what's about to happen to them a half a dozen documentaries are already in production about the mine accident in. clothing the discovery channel's look at the mechanics of the rescue and even a planned program on h.b.o. tabloids are already reaching out to these families offering thousands of dollars for the first interview so these guys are about to have their lives changed forever so to the media i know this is a huge story and part of the media but please remember that these men spent sixty eight days underground so just cut them some slack and back off there's going to be plenty of time for interviews but just let them enjoy their families and their
11:34 pm
freedom for at least a few days. now last night while everybody was busy watching the circus that was the california gubernatorial debate between meg whitman and jerry brown there was plenty of action to be found offstage not only did protesters from the california nurses association and other groups come out but laura wells the green party candidate for governor was arrested to according to the rules wells wasn't allowed to participate in the debate because of her lack of support in the polls she also however was told that she couldn't even enter the building because of her status as a gubernatorial candidate now we have to ask of course whether this could have been a stunt for publicity but you know it brings up a larger point in an election where one candidate has spent one hundred and forty million dollars of their own money the highest number on record. if third party candidates can even be present at the debates then is there absolutely no hope for
11:35 pm
change in our political system or earlier i caught up with laura wells the green party candidate for governor in oakland california and i first asked her if she knew that there was a chance that she might be arrested by attending this debate last night. i didn't know that there was actually a rule that you could not be there because of your because of being a candidate it's the governor's debate i actually did not know of the rules that govern your candidate cannot be at the governor's debate even in the in the room in the building that's. certainly i mean it sounds crazy doesn't sound democratic. doesn't sound like a democracy and then what is it also that you you weren't able to participate in the debate they say that you don't have enough support but you know how much support is required to be able to stand on stage there with meg whitman and jerry brown. well here's what they say and there are six political parties six candidates for governor and so they say that you have to show a ten percent results and in
11:36 pm
a poll either the l.a. times poll or another poll and they don't interview with the questions are if the question were to people in california especially this year do you want just the democratic party in the republican party in the debates which i'm starting to call the titanic parties because they're heading straight for the iceberg but if a question were asked the big majority of californians especially this year is would say no we want to have other parties there but here's the question that they ask they don't tell you but some friends of mine were asked and they said which do you prefer jerry brown or meg whitman and they'd say i don't prefer either one of those i prefer laura wells the green party candidate for governor they didn't even on the question asked of their and when they report the results they say meg whitman got forty one percent jerry brown got forty one percent and eighteen percent were undecided they don't even say other then you know eighteen percent
11:37 pm
undecided and so so where and how are you supposed to get in there especially when you cannot be in the in any of the big catch you out of any of the debates where people can find out what your positions i am. mainstream media news that's all you know what's on it i mean this first lar i mean do you feel like you know with the information that you just told us do you feel like there is no chance then within the system for a third party to be able to break through. the way that this system is it's locked down and it's it's worse and worse and the thing that we can do however there is a people's movement that's building in this country and there are lots of different facets of it everything from housing to health care to education and the environment but what it too. makes a counter act the huge amount of money that now the supreme court said is free
11:38 pm
speech and corporations can spend any amount they want to counteract that we need turn right in people and so what we're doing is looking at twenty fourteen or years down the road and talking to people all over the state about what kind of terrible porn you do want because without turning in people and creating a critical mass of especially people in this country who have not been voting there's so discouraged with the terrible choices that they face they don't even vote but to try to to to inspire people to vote to encourage people to use every bit of power that we have so that people can again be in control of our democracy rather than corporations the whole military industrial congressional pharmaceutical complex that will are getting a make perhaps of the tea party i mean this is there is still some debate out there as to whether it's really a grassroots or a movement or as to whether it is itself funded by corporations but it does seem to
11:39 pm
have struck a chord with a large number of americans but i can give you a perfect example of why that appears to be so stern and one of them is that you alluded to and that's like the koch brothers k.-o. c.-h. and others have have a lot of items that way and the media's subsidy they get is enormous i've went to a u.s. social forum in detroit and afterward i asked everybody heard of the u.s. social forum and they'd say no have you heard of the tea parties yes well he was with the u.s. social forum last twenty. or older days when students write to organize for what we want in this country again this health care and housing the environment and peace justice and four day. twenty thousand people in barely a blip and yet four hundred people or even
11:40 pm
a whopping two thousand people will get together for a tea party event to hear a celebrity you know the radio and t.v. for two hours and it makes headlines so they're getting the media's subsidy that the people who are organizing in the grassroots right are not getting there's an old saying in the revolution will not be televised the green party. values nonviolence so this is a revolution of arms but a revolution of solutions as a friend of mine said but will it be televised and will the tea party with its corporate backing and that's why i think yes a little bit there is a grassroots building but the media is not trying to empower it but it is there who will do the power ourselves well this is why you know we bring candidates like yourself on air because definitely the fact that you were there trying to get into this debate and said ended up being arrested is not something that you know as a witness on all the networks yesterday and not to mention you know there is
11:41 pm
a lot of money not only corporate money in this election or a horse with meg whitman spending one hundred forty million dollars of her own money a record number of laura thank you so much for joining us well thank you for having me. so to come on tonight's show it's a problem here in the u.s. that's only getting worse look at homelessness and how homelessness in new york has doubled just in the past year artie's honest they see a chicken has more only come back. so something is being to the suffering region where the destruction sam can be our processing factories located. our. northern paradise. where many still live off the last. days are being found to try to come. the show's first free elections read. thousand years ago. welcome to the.
11:42 pm
russia close up. almost seventy years of the red machine which so we had people wanted to leave in the past. weekend to make changes the society was. but it wasn't possible to change the whole country's regime so quickly. chronicles only fundamental changes in the state written people's minds. forty two thousand americans die each year from car accidents only a thousand. seven hundred thousand people. and thirty two thousand will kill themselves cancer in all its forms kills five hundred sixty thousand of us

11:44 pm
than what we discussed yesterday you see there's an article from the a.p. that claims that financial institutions hired wal-mart workers hairstylists and assembly line workers to sign off on your foreclosures let me just stress that when you get massive banks the guys that make billions and billions and dollars in profits we're hiring here stylists with no prior bank experience to sign off on americans foreclosures see they were hiring wal-mart for workers to throw people out of their houses in testimony released yesterday of the robo signers those people who were just mindlessly signing off on the documents well that testimony showed that a number of these people admitted that they're an educated almost all aspects of home foreclosure isn't that just wonderful they couldn't even answer questions about what an affidavit was they hardly knew what the hell a mortgage even was and worst of all they admitted to lawyers that they suspected that they were taking part in document fraud and they work for companies like bank
11:45 pm
of america doug j.p. morgan chase and of course goldman sachs all of our favorite wall street titans who brought down the world economy then were bailed out by the american taxpayers and are now about to have a record bonus season yet again you know this actually makes me sick to hear the wall street banks were too cheap and or lazy i don't know to hire experienced workers to deal with foreclosures so they just purposely hired clueless employees to sign off on them and it's just such a blatant disregard for human life for response ability i guess not that we should be shocked by anything wall street does at this point but the sad reality is that this will only hurt the american people more than forty states attorneys general already plan on launching in. scandal which will slow the cycle of putting houses back on the market some are even estimating that forty percent of all residential sales will be for from come from excuse me foreclosed properties by two thousand
11:46 pm
and twelve and now we just might be headed for another crisis thanks to this just more dismal news from an already very troubling situation and it's all thanks to our favorite people wall street. now the government and economists they can tell you to tell us that the recession is over but we beg to differ and major cities where there is talk of bonuses and profits but also more homeless people than ever before and the big apple is no exception to that rule artie's honest i see a chicken that has a story. well. this is no lottery for a chance to win some cash people. waiting to find out if they can win a roof over their heads for the night they're not criminals they're not drugs to their floor is that they just don't have a home. these days the chances of getting
11:47 pm
a bed in new york are slimmer than ever homelessness in the city has skyrocketed by an entire fifty percent last year or two hundred twenty thousand different new york city men women and children spent at least a night and a city shelter that's a shocking number of the highest number that's ever been recorded keith who became homeless in this last year says he's fifth on standby to get a bed he considers himself lucky for the man this means at least some whole number doesn't come up i'm going to be outside in the rain you said knows exactly what it's like calling a place like this shelter and bed i put together this project where i go home last week every year but most of my nights i just end up you know sleeping on a cardboard box in front of us posting his experience in a blog use of has been able to collect thousands of dollars in donations for the
11:48 pm
homeless the reality is a lot of people most people a lot of people are one paycheck away from being homeless you know i just. you know i'm just trying to make people aware in a packed city like new york homelessness is no novelty. in a city where you can buy a coffee drink for almost eight dollars there are dozens of thousands of people who just don't have that kind of money and to many it's clear that their numbers are bound to keep growing even though the already existing statistics are higher than they have been since the great depression there are more than thirty seven thousand homeless people we have thirty seven thousand people including nearly fifteen thousand children who are homeless and new york city near record number of homeless families nearly ten thousand homeless families in an apocalyptic state of economy all of these people are hoping to be sieved president. you know.
11:49 pm
to be able to do. so. as the cry for help stretch across the country the u.s. government sticks to the official party line that the economy is back on its feet but in reality the state of the economy is staring everyone in the face and if looking the other way continues to be the norm this could soon become the real face of a nation and is that future. new york. well joining me from our studio in new york is correspondent. now fifty percent increase just in the past year alone that is those are staggering figures is there anything that the city of new york is doing to address the homelessness rates. well you know what i want a mayor bloomberg said six years ago that he's putting a plan in place where he will be able to reduce if not even eliminate homelessness in new york city but this was six years ago and now many people many of our
11:50 pm
respective organizations such as the coalition for the homeless for example are saying that the state of affairs when it comes to homelessness is in new york is worse than it's ever been in his watch that he's not been able to do anything and numbers are record high are they saying that these numbers are record highs directly because of the recession or is there anything else that could be factoring into this well of course you know some of the people that we saw in that story and some of the people that are homeless in new york right now they were without homes before the economic crisis hit but many many people and that's where this. hype of numbers comes from is that many people want homeless since the economic crisis hit the country and were left without homes and jobs and they're trying to find jobs many of them they just can't now do you haven't asked any of these people i mean there's a you know a segment in your story where you're walking around letting people know that you know just to get a cup of coffee in new york can cost you almost eight dollars so you know have they
11:51 pm
ever considered perhaps moving to somewhere that's a little less expensive i mean i know it's not so easy to just pick up a movie you have nothing to move but did you ask any of these homeless people that question why they stick around in new york. you know another reason that it's not easy is not because you have nothing to move but because you need money to be able to you know transport yourself somewhere get a plane ticket or a train ticket or a bus ticket or something to be able to get somewhere else but you know i don't think the problem is that sort of relocating somewhere else that's more of a lot of these people have been in new york their entire lives and most importantly it's not just the big cities that are faced with homelessness the smaller places are dealing with as much trouble as the big places so just because you move from one place to another doesn't mean you're going to be able to find shelter there now yourself our resident of new york you've been there for years have you noticed a drastic increase just when walking down the street of people that are living on the streets absolutely i don't absolutely in this last year or two years and
11:52 pm
especially in the last couple of months you know new york has always been prone to homelessness of course just because it's such a big place and living here it is expensive but nowadays homeless people are everywhere we you know we didn't need to go very far to find all of those people that are in the story and the any street corner there's a homeless person here a homeless person there by the church steps by grand central station homelessness is unfortunately visually increased to these are not just numbers unfortunately the situation is exactly the same here in washington d.c. you can walk around downtown knowing that the white house is just a block away and yet you know the poverty people who are homeless it's staring you right in the face and you and i have spoken about this about how the income gaps the wealth gaps in new york in washington d.c. also are so staggering so tell me are these people looking at barack obama to help them some how is it are they looking towards mayor bloomberg to help them you know who they think can solve the problem. well you know they're looking at themselves
11:53 pm
of course as well many of the homeless people are willing to admit that maybe if they tried a little harder and really tried sticking around more and you know whatever they were doing before the recession because nobody could tell that this this kind of economic crisis would hit the country so the people who are in the situation now yes many of them are counting on mayor bloomberg to do something but a lot of these people are sort of questioning whether or not he's actually going to get anything done and many many have been addressing barack obama there saying that yes they want the president to take care of them because when he stepped in he was saying that this national disgrace to quote him is something that he wants to make getting rid of it he wants to make that his priority but clearly that has not been the first priority on his list and politically clearly it's not an easy priority to look to to as we see you know so much resistance to government programs and hand me out and things like welfare but it's definitely these figures really are horrible and this is the i think you. our before we go it's time for our tweet of the day if
11:54 pm
you guys hear president obama is related to sarah palin according to ancestry dot com obama and palin are ten cousins so we're wondering what would obama tweet about this discovery we thought he'd say welcome because sarah hussein pailin in the house you know family reunions could be so much fun and so awkward that's it for tonight's show thanks for tuning in to make sure the guys come back tomorrow night we're going to have one cat blogger sarah bennett kos on the program ant france has just approved a plan that would strip some criminals who have been naturalized of their citizenship joe lieberman as opposing things similar earlier this year right here in the u.s. so would we ever go for a law like that that would strip people born in the nother country who are now citizens of the united states like myself other citizenship for committing a crime after the arizona law the fear it unleased who knows we're going to be the issue tomorrow night with jordan secular from the american center for law and
