12:32 am
the. we've got. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. for tides tool time award and tonight it goes to the donald that's right donald trump who says that he's considering a run for president next year that an exclusive interview today with good morning america and he spoke about a host of issues and was asked if he believes president obama was actually born here in the u.s. take a listen to his response i'm a really smart guy i was a really good student at the best school in the country the reason i have a little doubt just a little because he grew up in nobody knew him when you interview people if i ever got the nomination if i ever decide to run you may go back and it could be people from my kindergarten there remember me nobody ever comes forward nobody knows who years or kill later in his life it's very strange but so donald trump is
12:33 am
a girder who knew i was actually joining the group of crazy people who doubt that president obama was born in hawaii that's pretty stunning news coming from from considering the company that he's choosing to associate himself with here are just a few examples of berger's who've made headlines recently arguing that obama was actually born in kenya not the u.s. . the pleasure obviously all he has to do is just produce a could be original birth certificate in hawaii be done with it. for your listeners saying about this story they dismiss it or are you going to this whole thing could be settled in a minute if the president should go because so far as far as i know he has not this social security number that was used most commonly by obama was issued in the state of connecticut and shows him to be one hundred and
12:34 am
nineteen years old. so if donald trump wins the g.o.p. nomination next year is going to ask orly taitz to be his be he he i really really hope so now in trump's defense he is just joining the majority of g.o.p. voters i'll call last month found that fifty one percent of republican voters believe that obama is not qualified to hold office of president because he was born abroad but we've spoken about this very disturbing back several times here on the show the obama campaign has released a copy of his record of live birth the equivalent of a birth certificate in hawaii we went online today and we found it you can see the documents right here we see in hawaii is what you need to get a license or passport that's still not good enough for the burgers and now for donald trump and as mentioned in the interview you can talk to his kindergarten classmates and they will remember him and i think we think about why we found a picture of young donald online and guess what he had about god awful hair it
12:35 am
really was a game which i think we all know is. so we made that picture up but dollars from is still tonight's top time winner. there's a strong message coming from wisconsin the g.o.p. may have won this battle but they won't win the war even though the state senate pushed through a bill stripping unions of their collective bargaining rights the protesters have found a way to use state laws to help their cause see wisconsin has a rule saying that any elected official can be recall from office after they've served a year of their term so protesters have been working on collecting anywhere between fifteen to twenty thousand signatures from the called like calling on senators who voted against the unions to be recalled these are the senators being called out alberta darling randy hopper glen growth men and mary last ditch all of whom side with the governor against the units and all that it would take is just three of the senators being recalled to give the democrats the majority in the state senate so
12:36 am
now the protesters have worked out their game plan what's their strategy for getting the signatures well looks like all it all comes down to hard work and taking their message to the media research reports out of wisconsin to show the budget debate has scored television ads the likes that you would normally only see around election time keep in mind the media dollars spent on the entire gubernatorial campaign for walker back in two thousand and ten totaled three point seven million dollars but the broadcasting dollars spent on the budget including efforts to strip unions of their bargaining rights has reached well over three point six million here's the latest attempt to spread the message about the recall 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 it's. probably close to the speaker or. the income. i guess you could but it's.
12:37 am
not. just the secretary and this bill walker's policy in this point it costs me over three. thousand dollars a year not to mention more down the road let me leave the surplus to party rates i've alluded to the issues that are being discussed here in madison are not you too bad a city or state of wisconsin these are national issues or he's being taken away workers and it's tax breaks given to there's a gracious this is you can't you can fancy your share in a tent and you need to sit down you need to. now this grassroots campaign is pro-union protesters are calling it has expanded and their efforts are being felt all over the country just yesterday people marched through d.c. showing their solidarity for the people of madison so are the democrats and pro union efforts working many out there was say yes even republicans have come for saying that the wisconsin g.o.p.
12:38 am
needs to keep a watchful eye but they're being out organized just because the bill passed doesn't mean that this war's over and it's clear the people of wisconsin are willing to work talk to constituents and take part by any other means they can to show that they aren't going down without a fight using democracy the way that it should be used by gathering the public to stand behind their cause so the g.o.p. shaking in their boots yet i know if i were them i definitely would be a little bit worried right now. and there are many out there remember the dodd frank financial reform bill that was passed last year you know the one that tried to instill new regulations on wall street so that we wouldn't have to repeat of the crash that we're all still suffering from it's the one that many critics said didn't go far enough in reining in the banks the republicans are now getting ready to dismantle it that's right yesterday house republicans very quietly introduced five new bills to take down the portions of the dot frank bill and they say they're doing it because wall street reform has been detrimental to economic recovery aka
12:39 am
it's all about let's be honest here is this just because they're in the pocket of the banks joining me from our studio in new york this morning comstock editor of cluster stock at the business insider courtney thanks so much for joining us tonight now i think it was really only a matter of time until we saw this happen right until we saw the republicans go after another piece of legislation that has defined the obama administration but let's talk about how differently they did it with health care they were so public so vocal so open about it they wanted everyone to know and here i feel like they're really just quietly trying to slip these five bills and. look at that makes a lot of sense i mean republicans are always getting trashed for being the party that's more in bed with wall street and i think that's a little unfair i think that democrats get just as much money from their wall street friends or your interest donors but it makes
12:40 am
a lot of sense the republicans would want to really quietly share these and knock at the negative press they would obviously result from the mainstream finding out that here again. republicans are allowing the types of loose financial regulations that they have. may have caused the financial crisis but please tell me in you know in republicans terms this was all about jobs but can you tell me how this financial reform bill actually was detrimental to the economy i know that we've heard banks screaming a lot about it but they've lost some profits but if you look at it at the end of the day they're still seeing record profits because their have lost a little bit of money doesn't mean that they're not making more than the rest of us . exactly and you know there is actually a talk yesterday with sheila bair and a bunch of bankers and they couldn't come up with anything specific any reason any specific reasons why the financial reform bill was so detrimental to everything they just it's an ideology thing i think i think it's just republicans are all
12:41 am
about the free market fewer fees and they say that all the this wall streeters say and republicans agree with them that all that this bill is doing is increasing fees and making it more expensive for them to operate and they have to cut jobs i want to talk about some of the things that these five bills aim to dismantle here the derivatives clearing house making credit rating agencies liable for faulty ratings they want to exempt private equity fund managers from having to register with as you see and they want to eliminate data collection requirements for a publicly traded companies how important were those elements to this dodd frank bill and how and how are those going to create more jobs getting rid of the i mean that you see derivatives regulation one was pretty much the most important one of the really important regulations because what that seven directly from the financial crisis people say that derivatives are largely that whether or not they are right they say that derivatives are largely the cause of bubble that was
12:42 am
allowed to grow in the housing market and i think i think they're they're really aiming at i mean wall street doesn't want to be to be enacted and they don't want to have to trade derivatives on. over the counter they don't have to don't want anybody watching what they're doing. they say that it's just more complicated and it requires more work for them but you know in the end i think i don't know i just i haven't seen any proof and i don't think anybody has said why it's so hard who they are they could potentially lose a really important part of the. you know i don't feel sorry for these banks at all that are saying that perhaps their lives are the. more difficult now and i did so frustrated right because you might set up a financial reform bill more regulations on the banks so they can charge these ridiculous fees right if you over if you over charge from your from your checking account and so now what the grains are doing is saying that because of that they
12:43 am
have lost money so now they have an active five dollar a.t.m. fees any time you want to get mine i don't know this is all that yesterday at j.p. morgan jamie dimon is testing these apparently so it's not definitely going to happen but they're testing five dollars a.t.m. fees outrageous i feel like got means that the little guy can never ever win because they're always just going to come up with another fee where they can hike it up and charge you and what you do not get money from the a.t.m. i don't know you have to keep all your money under the pillow or something they're really holding us hostage and that's horrible we'll see with republicans actually gets has to go through i've been told that there are so democrats also because like you mentioned the democrats get a lot of money from these banks two that are naturally going to really get to money so much that they hit for that our markets get just as much record i want to thank you so much for joining us. thank you our so intel is just ahead and is the u.s.
12:44 am
government trying to started propaganda war by using social media reports say the u.s. military is going to use facebook to spread pro-u.s. news around the world and to catch jihad is not really a good idea will debate the issue in just a moment. just my name is daniel smith this is julius on we're here to make a short presentation about what we can fix project. the first hit in the fourth day he threw good information about the real world. through him. on here i'm going to lose. because the biggest. going to be a good marker. if i ever put any sources in danger
12:45 am
he would hunt me down and kill. this is exactly one of the reasons why we left the country because it has become more occultist all the james bond. than all the actual information. but thank you. the whole big deal round that won't. be. in canada and the us that it is legal for you to use a vote on your baby it contains a known carcinogen something that causes cancer most of the shine to the most cutting depends they are sponsored by things to do and most of the time they don't claim it's a conflict of interest today an average cancer drug prescription. cost nearly one thousand six hundred dollars a month oh my god i'm a nobody with cancer and my fine and therefore i protect salt because ninety to
12:46 am
ninety five percent of cancers hurt people with the family history of cancer the pharmaceutical industry spends about fourteen percent of their budget on research and development and about thirty one percent for marketing and a ministration. in fact there are more pharmaceutical industry lobbyists in washington d.c. than members of congress. to the. first three removal called clear cut. second places are used to go deeper than the jury. heard the remains are reviewed on machinery. finally on the mortgage is the judge in that we feel.
12:47 am
tab to it we have breaking news from the united nations the u.n. security council has approved a no fly zone over libya and extreme measures to protect civilians working in war on that top of the seven top of the seven o'clock hour with the news. ok it's time for show and tell on tonight's program last time we told you about p.j. crowley stepping down over comments he made about the treatment of bradley manning and we asked you at home if you thought the crowleys firing meant that president obama had taken ownership of manning's treatment while the quantico and here's what some of you had to say and i got to say it was not very kind to the president rajnath he responds i grew up learning that a man is innocent until proven guilty but with mr mannix treatment it seems as if he's guilty until he's proven innocent his treatment is that of a convicted terrorist shame on the obama administration the guys are replies it
12:48 am
appears that president obama is trying to get alignment behind him by firing all those who are speaking out against it that's one way to do it mason skies says everyone keeps waiting for the president to speak on the bradley manning case when he's going to speak where is he on this issue i think his silence speaks volumes and jerry mariano sounded off on facebook saying obama is continuing the worst of bush's policies and even expanding stop he hasn't been a leader he's been more like a dictator now as always we appreciate your responses and here's our next question for our viewers earlier in the show we discussed the global impact of the nuclear disaster in japan and what effects of any this is disaster in another country for people here in america let us know what you think has globalization made us more vulnerable to chain reaction if disaster strikes in japan does it affect us all you can respond to us on facebook twitter and you tube and who knows your response just might make it on the air. now there's some major news taking place across the globe
12:49 am
today we have the world watching to see if a nuclear catastrophe will take place in japan there's also the search for those still missing in japan following last friday's massive earthquake and tsunami and plus for the first time now we know that the u.n. has passed a resolution for a new lies own over libya but the big story that everyone here in the u.s. is talking about drinking and watching t.v. why well that's because it's a patrick's day and the n.c.a.a.'s march madness kicked off today that's right most adults here just want to drink green beer and celebrate irish heritage doesn't matter if you're irish it's just a chance to drink a chance to stand at a crowded bar get plastered and stagger hall or someone else will but this year the drinking is compounded by the n.c.a.a. tourney tournament taking off and sixty eight teams began the battle to find out who is the best this year and this is the first year of the n.c.a.a. has made every game available for its broadcast in its entirety so you can watch
12:50 am
the games on t.v. on line on i phones on i pads and in all the office brackets and office pools and you have a recipe for americans being very very distracted at work today according to office max is twenty eleven hoops at work survey about half of working adults check game scores online at least once a day while at work on the outplacement consulting firm challenger gray and christmas saying there's the march madness will cost companies nationwide about eight point four million hours of lost productivity that is a lot of basketball watching so while the world deals with conflict death nuclear fears here in the u.s. well are only worried about getting drunk finding our way home safely and cheering for a team that we've paid to the office pool but probably have no idea where their school is actually located. now while the majority of us use social networking sites as a way to stay in touch with friends and family look at pictures of ex boyfriends and girlfriends or try to get
12:51 am
a look into the personal lives of our coworkers or our crushes the internet is of course also a place for your hardest to make connections to build networks to spread propaganda maybe even plants in history terror plots on the u.s. military wants it this month we learned that u.s. central command has contracted a company in california to develop anonymity software that will allow it to secretly news fake online personas to influence internet conversations and spread pro-american propaganda it's been described as an online persona management service that's going to allow one u.s. serviceman or servicewoman to control up to ten separate identities based all over the world due to legal obstacles it's only supposed to be used on non u.s. citizens but how can we be so sure joining me to discuss it isn't it colonel anthony shaffer senior fellow at the center for advanced defense studies and is also still serving as a reserve lieutenant colonel tony thanks so much for joining us tonight before we get into this story since we just had breaking news i want to ask you about the
12:52 am
fact that the u.n. security council just passed a resolution for a no fly zone and perhaps even more over libya what do you make of that well frankly it's a daily goal sure woman is no. the existing government was. so the problem is this international tour gets. to try to get things together and now it may be too late to be a good move. well i guess we'll have to see what happens of course a lot of people are saying that this is going to mean military intervention this is going to mean war and that's not what the america needs that's not what the rest of the world needs right now now i want to switch to centcom and hear what they're trying to do in terms of social networking in terms of catching jihadists and spreading american propaganda online i feel like they're a little bit late in the game here right now and they've been doing this years ago . but let me answer that you parts first of all the basic thing that i was well
12:53 am
known for able danger look at social networks before social networks existed as a group pocus or we called this the six degrees of kevin bacon basically you know someone who knows someone who knows them and that's what we've seen here within the context of unstructured organizations what happens there is people tend to still organize and barnett networks that we've been looking at we accept you know skype that we're talking about right now facebook or always people communicate when you're not working you live in a structured organization and there are things we're going to control within the network that's how i know this isn't supposed to be used against american citizens that that's right all right our military our government isn't supposed to use propaganda or these like psychological operations against its own people but we just found out from michael hastings of rolling stone that apparently that was happening over in afghanistan how can we be so sure that it won't happen here. i
12:54 am
yeah i've actually been on the hill meeting with congressional staff on this issue let me say this. the congressional staff i've talked to have a lot of interest in what actually happened moment and yes there are specific laws and regulations which prohibit us as a military or intelligence community doing things to manipulate u.s. citizens and it's done for good reason you or any u.s. citizen has rights and to have an intelligence officer spoof you to talk you without you know what you know your intelligence officers your legal unless there is cause unless there's a belief that someone's blood terrorism involved in making illegal activity or is working for the intelligence services if those three criteria are not met there really is no reason legally for us or anyone to be basically telling someone something or working in iraq with someone online without their clear reason to do so the left side of this sound is a whistle blower and says if they have some information that might look
12:55 am
embarrassing for the u.s. government does not mean they're going to go in and find them. with well technically no but the thing is there's a there's a lack i think of oversight because there there's a real effort to try to silence was a blowers these days by the current administration and it's been very clear that criticism is not welcome and this is one of those things that you and i spoke about before. it we're it is a hugely important to have critical review of things which go wrong so the mistakes are not made again that's what will those are important now will will will be government will after them absolutely has a record of that but it's not technically legal for them to do so. that doesn't really make me seem much better because technically it is because something is illegal doesn't have the government isn't going to do it like you and i were just thread asking do you think also i mean this is this is now public knowledge right we don't know too many details about the program and we know that they're going after it and this encourage other governments to make this could do the same thing
12:56 am
with this anonymity software perhaps even companies out there. well frankly there are other governments further out there they are do israelis for example have been doing this sort of thing regarding the arabians for a while one of the things we've noted in our research is that the raid the radians are learning by the israelis trying to do something to their infrastructure so it's it's kind of us libre spy right now so a lot of countries already are already doing this with that said i disagree with the guardian use the guardian article that they use in my research and you guys were talking about the guardian article in particular i disagreed if this is a propaganda tool i just don't think the u.s. government frankly has an ability to the message to actually put out good information which would shift the thinking of of for an individual screw ups or governments so i really believe based on everything i've read that it this is more about trying to understand what's going on within those those communities where than trying to put forward propaganda i think we're just wind right now senator
12:57 am
dianne feinstein has a better grasp on this. then intelligible collaborative her be a director of national intelligence there are a series of this recently where she basically going to talk and her understanding of facebook and how it's being used for social networking of or for radical groups and groups trying now to secure freedom so both sides are using well i guess that's that's just and they're saying now isn't it tony i want to thank you very much for joining us and giving us some insight on this thanks so like you are now ok we just had a serious discussion of how this might look this government's new program but we decide how little bit of fun with it so they appeal on a show and think of what might go wrong take a look. through . want to meet.
12:58 am
