carnival cruise lines pay one percent the other ones pay two percent one percent caterpillar all these different companies. because they know how to get the d. doctrines and they don't pay the rate so why would we rate you know if people already have it you think they would want to change thirty twenty five percent for you know what they're doing with their pain now a gimmick pipa system but you and i can't do that we can't and average workers can't and don't and that's why we have corporations who are paying about a third of the total of the federal government during the eisenhower administration up and about seven percent it's a disaster i remember in the sixty's we have ninety percent tax rate yeah yeah right up you know what they're not a rich people didn't seem to bother and we had a strong middle class chainsaw but thanks so much for agreeing to see you great to see you happy great to have you with us democrats in wisconsin may have a few tricks up their sleeve as well today was consonants took to the first steps to recall eight republican senators who favor walker's anti-union legislation sixty days to collect roughly twenty thousand signatures and senators districts to force

recall elections if they can dump just three republican senators and the democrats to take back control of the state senate was constant and put an end to walker's ideological war against you it's. still out of the big picture fox news unfair and completely unbalanced when it comes to this bit more creative reporting . this lindsey lowe and back in his time the preacher that he's winning nothing people are saying she speaks she's a mother you know she says she's a stock. fox

news is sticking to the republicans anti-union agenda earlier this week on the o'reilly factor fox so-called news aired some b. roll footage apparently of violent union protesters in wisconsin take a look on how many are professional left wingers around here just regular folks. it's tough to tell when you get to the weekend you get a lot of out of towners

a lot of people are bussed in from a not just wisconsin but a lot of surrounding states talk to someone who is from california who sleep in the capitol throughout this process so you've got a real mixed bag who brought them in who bus them in. some of the different labor organizations have brought people in and it would take a long time for me to explain each and every organization that's rockey ok so you. but many people are quick to notice something odd about the video there's no star on the ground and there were palm trees in the background on trees don't exactly dot the landscape of wisconsin so i was trying to box trying to pull here course this isn't the first time fox has employed creative reporting last year they played gated footage of tea party protests in d.c. to make it look more like more people showed up at demonstrations that were actually there take a look twenty plus thousand people showed up we were surprised as i was. absolutely i was we had no idea complete word of mouth and the astronauts are anywhere between twenty and forty five thousand people had

a sample. not really according to washington post every other media outlet that covered the rally in d.c. there were about ten thousand people gathered at the capitol at a later it was revealed that hannity's producers used edited footage from the glenn beck rally in washington d.c. in that segment to show a larger crowd supposedly protesting the health care bill fox's coverage of the protests in wisconsin has been riddled with false words a few days ago reporter mike tobin said live on the air he was punched by a protesters a crowd chanting fox news lies gathered around him during his live stand up fox never produced video evidence of tobin's claims even though it happened during a live on air segment and toby was quoted as saying he was just too nice of a guy to press charges for the assault but yesterday the web site live leak dot com released video shot by a witness at the scene of the allegedly punching incident and shows what coburn claims was a punch could best be described as

a pattern poke on the shoulder at the very most here judge for yourself and they told me she hates me because it makes you feel that's the way you know you're. you know why he could put you into this situation because you're being surrounded by air and yet you're being when they released her family to his you. know that gave me so much you know. and she has week after gallup released a poll that shows sixty percent of americans opposed scott walker's plan to limit collective bargaining rights talking head brian kilmeade reverse the poll results and said sixty percent of americans were in support of walker. i think albert relatively mainstream poll has a differing view and here's the question that was posed should you take away or will you favor or are you in disfavor of taking away kooker of bargain when it comes to salaries for government workers sixty four percent in favor of taking away

thirty three percent oppose six percent still up in the air and many states don't have quarter gargling and that's the right way to go. i guess the real results don't jive well with the talking points of the day so isn't there a blatant bias in covering the events in wisconsin enough evidence to prove it's past time we remove the word news from fox joining me now to offer his take gang gain or vice president and t. boone pickens free market fellow at the business media institute dan. fox couldn't find violence so they had to make it up plenty of violence to find and made the first well let's talk about the first video it's an entirely correct video anybody who has a problem with it they're the ones who are being on balance this is from a union protest related directly to the wisconsin event so of course it's appropriate video footage it is those shows somebody from the union side pushing around somebody from the other side story and we could show that that first video was from the writers' strike though there was a person of three has. for the day we're talking about how do you have to deliver

from this for this current cycle because that's a current video with the palm trees near background as you guys go somewhere somewhere down south i don't remember exactly but you know. like that was really right out in front of the universal studios house angeles i used to my radio show everybody across the country we've got was that was last year let's talk about the c.w. a guy who who hit in the face a freedom works blog or a girl. ok let's talk about the harasser represented michael capuano calling for you every once in a while you need to get out in the streets and get a little bloody when necessary that's all thomas jefferson about the daughter only a true it's all those she broke about the crowd with consummate as state senator glenn grothman because you know you're going to list here yesterday because it got so bad so out of control that a democratic politician had intervene and some of the people the crowd had to start

chanting that they were going to be violent because the crowd get so out of hand that it was so threatening to do the president don't you think of somebody came along and said you know dan. we're just going to screw you we're going to create a you know we're going to hurt it was every day with all of the growth and where we're you are where you are basically no longer a legitimate employee you you are you know you can be dismissed it will be like all the rest of us you know if shocks really so then well now all the rest of us about seven percent of the private workforce is unionized it was here it was basically there was thirty five percent vast majority of people who are paying the salaries of those people can be dismissed so what you're saying is the tragic condition of the wal-mart workers and you know the rest of us is that earlier so more workers it's over that should be the condition of everybody i'm saying that every nobody should have a i'm say i'm saying people perfectly perfectly right to have a union in the private sector but the public sector leads immediately to corruption as the unions the liberals you know votes in the primary the union becomes part and

parcel to the democratic party look i see all these people complaining about the koch's if you go down the list of the top donors and the cokes are there it's all the democratic you funded democrat supporting i mean you need machines actually when i when i watch fox the other day shepard smith told me that the top seven contributors were corporations and millionaires and billionaires and the top and then the three below that out of the top ten with unions you would look and you're going for the donor also look really what this is all your honestly i mean just honestly really what are all this is about are the republicans is an attempt to destroy the last group that has offered significant funding to the death this is a show me the money moment you know we have it's not shocking no we did nation they can not pay the amount of money we have to pain meds as long as we can taxing billionaires a fifteen percent maximum income tax yes of course so you know if conflict. you look at george soros group also funded many of these protests or soros refloated let's not say you're here and if you and if you actually get to bed across the

world i doubt it well i mean it's you know you know he said it's i would say go find out i would say any billionaire who wants to flee the united states because they don't. xs good riddance but then then he was in it so much i mean eight reasons how right you end up serving them if you're hurting the process you know why is it then dan that when when when taxes were at ninety one percent you know in the fifth in the forty's the fifty's the sixty's the seventy's and seventy four percent in the early all the way up to the early eighty's we had the best economic conditions will be here is really on the one year percent different than it was that right now yeah right now you're going to see those taken to five hundred times you to reuters are or should have been they were taking going to be times when it could look absolutely required but now no matter what we compute it complete on a global scale with people who you know with countries a totally different economic systems totally different cats all of these if we don't adapt we don't have any jobs but look there's already regularly on the nuff

to chase a lot of our jobs offshore we don't want to cheat i think i'm completely getting your logic here not only should nobody have a union and everybody should be actually does not receive through it easily but at the same time all of the american workers should live in fear that their job is going to go to some as if you worry about our jobs china three dollars an hour to a good job with your new leads through and has led to in many cases of this country the original topic here was far. fox news ninety one percent of fox news viewers believe that the stimulus legislation actually lost jobs not true seventy one percent believe that health reform was going to increase the deficit i suppose you probably argue that seventy two percent believe the economy is getting worse it's been getting better steadily since. that's what it was a sixty percent believe china climate change is and isn't occurring. they the when you look at well for example eighty percent of us believe that al-qaeda was collaborating with iraq that weapons of mass destruction were found in the us invasion was favored worldwide all three of these are not true only twenty two

percent of p.b.s. viewers watch this is the time for fox news to take news out of the word fox i know you're being completely ludicrous the bias in the mainstream media. c.b.s. a.b.c. n.b.c. p.b.s. n.p.r. c.n.n. and this n.b.c. is so new to the simulators and. with the with their part and parcel of the news the program because it so and you know it so you can find so much by you've heard so no wonder all the entertainment division so we could see if you sue many ways in which those the parts we see those reporters vote democratic so you think liberal spin the news so you think that if somebody calls themselves news and they tell over lies that that's just i don't need to tell you lies only but i think your thoughts pretty nice i think yes exactly what you're doing right now it's a. mess it's really supposed but if somebody just you know without genuinely yes or no if somebody is news and lies is that ok. but you're saying they're lying so you think the government should stop you know i do not think we're going to get

involved in the for the president is going to get i think you got to think that's the biggest mistake is going to go to the free press because it is being free ok thank you dan. it's time we put news in my opinion back into any organization that uses news as part of its name perforce through a newscast for example here or wonder why other developed countries like canada and the countries of europe don't have tea party crazies who vote against their own best interests and believe things that aren't true simple answer it's against the law in virtually every developed country in the world to lie on the air and call it news you pretty much only see that but in a republican state or ships and in the united states since ronald reagan it's pretty straightforward stuff. there was there in canada for example there's a bunch of right wingers have been trying to do a fox news kind of network for canada. and in canada it's because a lot the richard was writing the groggery wrote sun t.v. news which had been dubbed fox news north was just

a rumor is modeled on america's number one news network and and it will feature a pushbutton about pushing conservative agenda advanced by a nice crazy bundle of mangled backs sweeping generalizations and induced him insinuations ok so that's that's what they want to do in canada now it was against the law because you can't call it something news if it's not actually news in canada so the stephen harper the prime minister says well let's just change the law the canadians are not going along with that and so this back to the canadian radio act says you may not broadcast any false or misleading news it's against the law so much like our fairness doctrine which reagan blew up in one nine hundred eighty seven which had nothing to do with determining whether i or or rush limbaugh quoted couldn't be on a particular radio station it had to do in public broadcasting in the public interest publishing in the in the public interest pure and simple the fairness

doctrine required that in order to get your radio or television and more recently cable to get your license to use the public airwaves or the public thruways for cable wire or to get that renewed every year you had to demonstrate you were serving the public good in a way to serve the public good was by actually getting news that you called news which is why the news divisions of a.b.c. n.b.c. c.b.s. all lost money up until reagan blew up the first stone. and then they were able to bring them under the under the umbrella of the of the entertainment divisions and start using them as shills for other corp other parts of the corporation so hey you know our parent company owns this movie company so let's let's promote this movie let's get this movie star on all this kind of stuff and in any case in canada they've got no fox they've got no sun they've got no lies tragically boring frankly we could use a little of that here either. it's

time for the good the bad of the very very extremely ugly first up the good the progressive change campaign committee and democracy for america not to be outdone by tea party groups funded by billionaires who are meddling in wisconsin these progressive groups have sponsored a new t.v. out of wisconsin that puts a face on the governors on the word excuse me of the workers there governor scott walker is going after governor walker and the republicans just gave over one hundred million dollars in tax cuts to corporations and now they're asking teachers and nurses to pay for it and attacking workers' rights to negotiate for fair benefits will probably cost us between four and five point one in income tried to take it but it just you know it's not selfish it's just survive i'm just

a secretary and this bill that doctors proposing is going to cost me over three thousand dollars a year not to mention more down the road when we lose our collective bargaining rights i blew the issues that are being discussed here in madison or not you get to batter city or state of wisconsin these are national issues parties being taken away from workers and the tax breaks given to abuse of corporations this is republican class warfare an attempt on the middle class to supplant the need to me and. i didn't see any palm trees that fit with the g.o.p. needs to know this is a nationwide struggle we need to realize it too and unite behind all workers around the country and this advertisement gets out that a switch the bad fox and friends talking head steve doocy and gretchen carlson seem to have gotten the talking points this morning that the government shutdown is actually a good. i think. they've done a study to show that the public needs to be let in on

a little secret we can survive when the government shuts down for a short period of time we can survive and that i think would raise a lot of other questions about whether or not there's bloating in the federal government yet again if we can in fact survive first. of all want our wages i know the high paid painters of fox don't work for the government don't need services the government provides that there are millions of people who do and the other had a fox news were shut down then i think he would be right people would realize that we really don't need that giant mechanism and the very very ugly republican senator jim de mint in a radio interview yesterday dementia this pearl of wisdom about unions in the united states. so many of the things that would make america better searches and more choice an indication are for the nation teachers unions but even franklin roosevelt said that government you click people are going to have no place in america. jim de mint quoting f.d.r.

i think that's going to explode in his tea party days don't seem to believe in democracy and would rather see corporations running the show and that's very very. crazy alert return to living down the poppy a three month old puppy named wall he was euthanized over the weekend like put to death due to overcrowding at an animal shelter in oklahoma after he was confirmed dead while he was tossed in the trash bin to be collector the next morning. but perhaps by divine intervention wally arose again the next day an animal control officer noticed some commotion in the trash bin and sure enough there was wally just as healthy as can be veterinarian is now caring for wally until a new home can be found for i'm so far hundreds of families have responded to wally's finder dot com profile i'm sure there's

a reasonable medical explanation for wally's resurrection but i also like to offer this possible explanation. i don't want to die. and was double crossed by a dirty rat actually this rat was a dog but his car ran me down i just flew out of jail i just got back but this is hard to explain may i speak to your severe here because i don't. come to well either way i hope the prospective parents realize that wally is now a packaged deal to get him plus his twelve apostles. still ahead here on the big picture obama issued is first deep water drilling permit since b.p. is disaster last year. but will lead to a rise in oil prices or is he just pandering to big oil knowledge it. drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions.

made who can you trust no one who is you know if you will with the global machinery see where we had a state controlled capitalism it's called sessions when nobody dares to ask what we do our tea question more. than here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture.

actress lindsay lo and. behold the preaching about islam and nothing people are saying she speaks she's. no she says she's a nonstop. welcome

back to the big picture i'm tom hartman coming up in this half hour drill baby drill you may feel some pain at the pump soon due to rising oil prices should the u.s. really start drilling in the gulf again then later a christian couple in the u.k. is being denied the right to be foster parents because of anti-homosexual views is this a good thing or bad thing. big news in the world of oil crude oil futures climbed to their highest prices in two and a half years today on the heels of ongoing unrest in the middle east perhaps a response to these high prices president obama yesterday issued the first

deepwater drilling permit in the gulf of mexico since the b.p. disaster last year now will energy will resume drilling seventy miles off the coast of louisiana at an even deeper depth than the b.p. oil well environmental groups are wary of well progress being granted in the gulf they contend not enough has been done to prevent another deepwater horizon and the full effects of last year's spill are still unknown so far republicans are given a lackluster response to this new perm. in the gulf but again senator david vitter whose state was devastated by the b.p. spill said one deepwater permit as a start so i know we need means reason to celebrate so this is a good move by the white house or is it giving an interview oil lobby and further study in our nation back when it comes to clean energy investments more on this issue i'm joined by amanda curie a reporter at the daily caller amanda welcome right if you for having me nice to see you why hustle for more offshore drilling when any new wells that get opened are going to take ten years to produce well first ours is the economy to think

about is the local economy in the gulf opening retailing down there is going to have paid out to the people back to write that off there's not one thing that's arguably hundreds to thousands i mean there's tens of thousands of people working in the area who are still drilling. and all that but so why do thirty at least that i know if that thousands offered jobs in the more time with but i'm not so that's one reason. if i know thing ninety percent of our energy consumption comes from often feels like natural gas and oil i mean why would we had cereal for the call when i see some foreign oil companies produced a whopping payment system so if another spill happens they can as well that ninety percent well first of all if we were to develop the entire eastern gulf corded part of the interior it would produce point two seven four million barrels a day we would increase production by that that translates into

a five point four percent increase which is a point three two percent increase in the world supply less than one percent. we're importing about seventy percent of our oil right i mean. shouldn't we you pointing out how dependent we are of fossil fuels george bush talked about oil addiction. and he said you know he should know about addiction so yes. shouldn't we be doing something about our addiction we're spending we're literally handing a billion dollars a day off to people we don't like. shouldn't we instead be instead of instead of you know trying to get that extra one percentage point three two percent i mean absolutely if there is i mean there are steps we should there's things we should be doing to reduce our dependence on foreign foreign oil and like nobody is saying that drilling for oil in the gulf of mexico is going to be this ultimate panacea to our oil problem to our energy problem but it's there why not go for it if it's

going to be safe if the companies have taken steps then a certain safety to make sure that we don't have another disaster like we had last spring why not do it if it's there i mean for us to go to saudi arabia and say give us more or oil and oh by the way give it to us t. but we're not even going to drill for it first of all because it's going to take ten years before we get it hopefully but why not pass on years if i may do you know nuclear power one hundred percent nuclear power industry is the result of government investment government funded investment in the price anderson that government insurance the nuclear industry would not exist if it wasn't for government subsidies and supports why not do the same thing with the solar wind industry because there hasn't been results i would have been are you considering eighty percent of all the electricity in denmark is produced by windmills and that's just my copenhagen are you there national debt look at what happened in spain just a lot more if you don't go hard is not having a problem then look what happened to spain its life the farmer their national in fact just it's below that is a few minutes back to spain is producing electricity like there's no tomorrow which harmonize events and i have to go up to new nuclear i have our government is

financed by that i don't know where the german is that it was that people borrowed against their homes to put solar panels. the roofs ten year mortgage i gave one for the religious of the american now i have paid more for their like the one they sold the electricity to power the power company had to buy the electricity is seven times the normal rate at the end of the ten years the rate went back to normal and this is the old german program at the rate went back to normal and so people had taken that extra money from selling the electricity electric company used it to pay off the mortgage on their solar panels so they were essentially free in ten years they own them fifty year lifespan and they were able to get two gigawatts of the original goal was to get a watts of power the whole goal was to build not have to build to one go on nuclear reactors they ended up there just right now they're scaling the program down because in the last six years they've produced an gigawatts of power they didn't expect anybody would be jumping on this i don't and germany is the second quality is country in all of europe why don't we do this. there wasn't dollar lost by the

government because we can't get an r. and today's economy asking taxpayers to pay for something that they're not going to see results from print hang here well that's what i've said about oil and with if you put a solar panel on your house you start selling the electricity to the the you to the utility company at seven times retail because that's about the cost e.g. i did build a nuclear power plant for oil exploration and for drilling in the gulf of mexico you think that nobody pays for it just magically appears i mean the oil companies are the paper it's not finance and i think that's fair and where well i mean we were getting forty three dollars billion dollars for the subsidies the oil companies yesterday all of every single they have all that is in every single republican in the house of representatives voted to keep giving bed three billion dollars a year if you will get our stuff going on and that's just the reality i don't want to send a disaster accident and i was the most is the most profitable company in the history of the world going back to the roman empire.
