we'll. broadcasting live from our headquarters in central moscow this is our taylor glad to have you with us the u.s. u.k. france and countries of war not libya to even mediately implement a cease fire or face military action the libyan deputy foreign minister says they've already halted operations and has invited international observers to see for themselves it comes amid conflicting reports government forces are continuing to assault rebel held areas. meanwhile the international community faces accusations of double standards in its treatment of libya the deadly crackdown on

protesters in bahrain and yemen have been largely ignored by the same country so willing to take action against gadhafi forces on friday at least forty five people were killed and dozens injured in the yemeni capital after unidentified gunmen opened fire on an anti-government protests. a race against time team of fifty holed up inside the stricken fukushima plant in japan battle to prevent a complete meltdown the japanese government up to the emergency level as radiation continues to rise it's reported the plant is now connected to an external power source vital in restarting cooling systems. and coming up in about thirty minutes my colleague will be here with a full look at your news headlines but right now it's back to washington for our studios in the second part of the. show in an exclusive interview with a twenty one year old woman who is being hailed as the next mark zuckerberg.

it's time for our nightly tool time award conservative pundit and author and cold turkey raised a few eyebrows this week when talking about the nuclear drama unfolding in japan and on her blog earlier this week and had a post that was titled a glowing report on radiation and decided to make the claim that some radiation heading to the united states from japan could actually be good for us so that headline right there now who would have thought and last night well in culture was an appearing on the o'reilly factor she doubled down on her claim and offered up the following observation take a listen there's a growing body of evidence that radiation in excess of what the government's says is the middlemount there should be explosives were actually good for you would reduce cases of chaos or. wow so in

a thing that some radiation is actually good for you well that should ease the minds of anyone living in japan or on the west coast of the united states for that matter and we should point out that and based her reporting on some old newspaper articles and then went and went on television telling millions of viewers that the government is not telling the truth about the effect of the radiation levels and while some radiation levels may be ok does anyone really think that it's time to put those theories to test well just a few minutes later in the same interview she actually admitted that she's not really sure about the fact that she was staying late take a listen while you are carol we should all be heading for the nuclear reactor like you well try to sunbathing out here in florida earlier and you know really interesting really out it's cold well for me. really appears to be pronounced i've only read about it the. doctor and culture are spreading misinformation wherever she goes now if you're not really an expert on nuclear radiation you probably

should not go on t.v. right after one of the. as catastrophes in the nuclear industry and spell it off about how radiation can actually be good for you of course that's never stopped and called her before and i doubt that it will in the future so fan thinks that radiation is so great maybe she should head over to the fukushima power plant and offer up her expert knowledge anyone want to chip in on a plane ticket to tokyo anyone. and that's how that's one culture our friday night tool time. now just two days ago the cia contractor accused of killing two pakistanis. that two pakistanis. pakistanis one home free after official stuck with the families of the victims according to news reports two point three million dollars of quote a lot of money were paid to the families in according to islamic law and kind of ironic that the road contractor was bailed out by sheer real autumn as secretary of state hillary clinton was quick to dismiss reports of the pay out telling journalists earlier this week that the blood money was never exchanged now when

asked about this payment clinton says the united states does not pay any compensation at all and when reporters asked about who actually did foot the bill she told the press to ask the families sure if the money must have just magically appeared somehow but hey when u.s. special forces killed innocent pregnant women in afghanistan those families were given to sheep so i guess there is a silver lining in the payout overeem davis for here's where the real flight frustration comes into play just one day later a u.s. drone fired at a meeting taking place in the northwestern province of pakistan that killed some forty people and amongst the victims were just members of the taliban but also elders and innocent locals not affiliate with the militants now while pakistani and u.s. intelligence officials dispute how many of those killed were actually members of the taliban the drone strike has unleashed more fury among the pakistanis those who are fed up with the surging drone war on their border pakistan has demanded an

explanation from the united states and declared the latest killing. as the most lethal attack on the country since two thousand and eight what's more pakistan announced today that it is not going to attend the next round of talks with the united states and afghanistan in protest over the attack so was this really the best move for the united states i mean the pakistanis were already upset about the release of david davis and now this heavy drone strike is just adding more fuel to the fire yesterday we saw senator john kerry expressing his sincere it's gratitude towards pakistan for releasing davis saying that our relations with their country need to stay strong and order to continue our unofficial war there were so painful to those people in pakistan that we decided to use our fancy drones to kill more civilians and interesting way of expressing gratitude if you ask me now it seems like this is just another way of showing the people of pakistan that the r. word means about just as much as the lives of the people we kill in other words almost nothing. now this weekend activists are planning events all across the globe

to protest the united states government's treatment of army private bradley manning now it seems that the country remains divided on the question of whether manning is a patriot or a traitor for allegedly turning over all those secret files to wiki leaks but the harsh conditions of his detainment have earned this administration criticism from the highest levels causing even the state department spokesman no fan of wiki leaks or manning mind you his entire job so what does the case of bradley manning say about freedom in america freedom to speak out freedom to stand up for what you believe is right but we decided to turn to somebody who knows a thing or two about blowing the west so daniel ellsberg famously hunted on papers back in one nine hundred seventy one helping to bring about around the and the vietnam war thank you so much for being here it's really an honor to have you on the show before we get to bradley manning i have to ask a question about libya and knowing what you know in your experience about wars

about how the u.s. government sells wars to the people how comfortable are you with this potential intervention in libya what are your thoughts on that so this is the dream you would be very hard problem. for the judge in a dilemma but i am glad that if there is any vote of you with him it will be this time order you will know instances and i think the right man to get the error of your belief that the others who believe you both i would certainly be very very skeptical of what you wish the letter would go on this after all it would be in such contrast to the fact that we have supported dictators what could of the recent years and for many years people of bahrain saudi arabia and of course egypt before so all of a sudden it seems as though you have the ability for all of these things instead of the people of egypt and tunisia to take them in their own hands and violently i would be very skeptical of that but i have to to watch this guy. they have going on

from here otherwise in libya i would have expected that the no fly zone by itself would do the job so i'm not a great admirer of gates i have to say but i i was sympathetic to his view that have no fly zone itself would be would be no help to just involve us in another war as it is we would get very heavily involved i don't personally expect by the way that we're going to be out of afghanistan or iraq for a very long time so the prospect of getting another war involvement in the air strikes me as very dubious purposes i certainly don't think you're alone in that perspective especially when it comes to afghanistan and iraq but are we facing a sort of catch twenty two here i mean when you have situations like vietnam like iraq thanks to your help in terms of vietnam finding out that so so many of the causes and the weight of the war was carried out was actually not as it was built for us people is the difficulty justify the so-called just humanitarian interventions when given the you know if you're going to church going to action

especially going to unilateral fewer lists of the u.n. security council legal for example is basically i think the u.n. was right in describing that as a crime against the peace because aggressive war the only conditions were u.n. security council authorization which they do have in this particular case they have to say but recent times no humanitarian intervention and extremely dubious about it's been a cover basically for basically colonialist type operations in the past you know military is not only even gates to say the solution of everything he said can make the problem worse we really have to ask ourselves in libya as in these other cases are we going to make things worse for buddy by this intervention to say if i'd known you'd asked me about it it's absolutely plausible to be yes i would have had his a patient about the program because as i said in the beginning this is a hard one. to face and i would want to say there's an easy answer on the slip. i thought that about pakistan for some time but you were talking about earlier. what

if i can move to that for a moment i was i was impressed by the tone you took on that the fact is that in pakistan the wiki leaks exposures which may or may not have been due to bradley manning i'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt from my point of view and give them credit for that the government has to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt but in court but whoever gave that information revealed the fact that we're not only doing drone attacks metrix three million votes or questionable aggressiveness in pakistan we're also doing ground offensive operations the pentagon has been denying that and lying about it and patterson that was shown in one of the state department cables that were released said that no in fact we've been doing ground offensive operations that really caught my attention because it meant that the war had extended there into another country without benefit of congress on this case or the u.n.

it was to say and it meant that we could be destabilizing the country there in the direction of a military takeover of people who really might be allied to al-qaeda and put nuclear weapons in their hands it seems that for the president to be covertly involving us in a war in pakistan right now on the ground or even in the bronze as we just saw in your item is the most reckless irresponsible act i can imagine in terms of it's dangerous for us in the world in the world of actually getting nuclear weapons and they're using readily manning where the source was of in danger in americans i would say that the president's policy is what it takes for. americans well let me ask you this i mean you know at this point in your and in your life you're really seen as a hero i think it's safe to say by the majority of folks here in the united states and no clear example of that and the fact that the state department itself. moved. the most wanted man in america meanwhile just to see if they would now that they're

showing that film abroad if they'd be willing to show it in the state department there's nothing i would prefer in the world and to have that movie shown and i have me on president for a q. and a in the state department itself to see if americans in the government are allowed to see that movie about the merits of whistleblowing but why do you think there is this contradiction in the way that you are being hailed right now bradley manning by so many folks in the establishment here seen as a traitor as someone who broke the law is someone that should be punished well i was called a traitor by president nixon and by his vice president i left office because of bribes and separate at the time i expected to be called names like that that's a very very hard when the idea was again. i didn't i would as a civilian i was out on bond and difference very different isotopes for myself no reporter has talked to bradley manning in the nine or ten months that he's been in

prison first in kuwait a known quantity not one single reporter so all we're hearing about him is the truckloads basically. about him and i'm very impressed if those chat logs are valid which is it remains to be seen as far as the court cases if you're accepted or not but i'm willing to go on and that the ones that led to his being charged in the first place and i'm very impressed by the person who comes through there he said i'm prepared to go to prison for life or even be that's i thought that let's talk about i read it was a little scream that he was worrying about but of course know the risk and they are asking for charges the could invoke the death penalty but he was somebody who was willing to stand up to the certainty that if he were found out he would face prison in life as i did six hundred fifty years and also be called the most terrible names know when i was called that people are saying now by the way all wales for it was good. pentagon papers are good bradley manning is the sunshine spared weeks instead

i'm used as a foil against them that's ridiculous in terms of the actual history that i was denigrated the same way he was at that point you have to expect it now days not to be called a traitor by. his like not being on nixon's enemies list sort of embarrassed do you think bradley manning is. think about lamenting about obama's i mean well he certainly treating him as if he deserves to be tortured right now does no credit to the president and said he was going to end torture you know according to the chat logs the thing the first. thing which great manning and led to his consideration if he was the source of putting out this truth was that he was actively participating in and big suspects over in iraq to be tortured and when he told us was that an intelligence analyst he was told pay no attention to that that's not your job just hand over more subjects suspects and he said i was actively participating in

something i was totally against well no as a result he's experiencing that treatment himself not perhaps as bad as the iraqi suspects that the betel nuts as a lot of people have studied we think of solitary confinement is just part of how to fly from prison but actually it is a form of torture and it has the effect of driving people mad or getting them to confess things that are true or false that you want to confession in this case i think he's being essentially tortured but it's known in confinement in order to get him somehow to implicate in ways where we keep leads in ways that will make it easier to prosecute the son but that's illegal if the state department slips and put it he said it's ridiculous counterproductive and stupid really is all those but it's also abusive and illegal and the president it's up to him to pick up the phone and stop it and not to accept absurd assurances from the perpetrators of its crime

department of defense that it's all appropriate and it's so funny incidentally at the time of course the white house so-called planners were taking various actions against me which included at one point attempting to incapacitate me totally and to eavesdrop on my phone calls. and to burglarize the doctor's office to get enough i have to ask about the media environments back when you release the pentagon papers there weren't that many blogs there weren't any blogs there was on the internet you have your you know networks you wash your news at six thirty or whatever time when you had your papers do you think it's that the nature of your leaks was more shocking for some reason at the time or do you think it's that media environment as though fragments right now that people aren't motivated by for example the pakistan revelations they don't mention earlier why is it that the rest of the world is not more reactive the. the what if that time something

that gave a lot of prominence to the issue was that the president enjoying the papers for the first time ever that it never been done and it was against our first amendment so they got a lot of attention for of course i couldn't put out the half maybe and pages of documents prove that you possible know in this new digital era i had to use the cutting edge technology of my time and for xerox i couldn't have done that earlier and i put out seven thousand pages of top secret material so i couldn't put out this i think the fact of putting out this much material did give a lot of attention as to the apache helicopter thing they said chris has been close to a large extent making the real chargers that these things go by nine eleven and the fear of being called names by in culture but not only by and culture they say that's almost the culture of it at this point but by officials and by prosecutors obama right now is prosecuting or his charges against five people for one school

for an authorized for some weeks all previous presidents together brought three separate prosecutions nine was the first they were to have for obama in two years his books so he is going against whistleblowers now and another president well hopefully at this weekend's rally some folks. may carry a message we have much more ahead on the show it's time for our friday happy hour segment producer jenny churchill and mike craig's writer for the daily caller dot com i've been trying to discuss some of the stories you've been talking about this week. called clear cut. second place of. the earth.

here. in valley feed. and.

in the u.s. today it is legal for. your baby it contains. a known carcinogen something that causes cancer most of the time to suffer most and then they are sponsored by things to do and most of the time they've though i'm not claiming it's a culture because he was an average cancer drug prescription costs nearly one thousand six hundred dollars a month oh my god i'm a nobody with cancer in my side so therefore i'm pretty slow because so many people to ninety five percent cancers hurt people with self funding 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 ministration. in

fact there are more pharmaceutical industry lobbyists in washington d.c. than members of congress. and to from japan to libya through nuclear disaster i mean it's been a really intense week and i think that we can all use a happy hour drink during the now for happy hour this evening as our key producer jenny churchill and mike riggs the writer for the daily caller dot com thank you guys so much for being here i think we can all cheer now by friday finally being here about you and i have a lot i don't know why i would generally respect the u.s. congress but the folks over on the hill in the house decided to work on a really important important resolution they're not talking about anything to do with libya or japan or you know anything even more important than that apparently it's the most important priority for those lawmakers on the hill is to defund and

p.r. what you guys make of that. i think it's just simply your right i mean we're talking about public broadcasting we're really your former employer right here you were at the news hour at one point. i love the news show i grew up listening to ninety point seven which is in orlando i love car talking prairie home companion all those places and i think there would be in their best interest and great for them if they could do what they love to do with no worry about government ok but n.p.r. costs fewer something like seventy million dollars a year afghanistan there has cost something like one hundred billion dollars so i mean to me i don't even understand why there's a debate at all because we saw from the video and i'm not saying that we saw from that video that n.p.r. is biased but i will say is that we saw that you know people high up in the company don't think that they need the money to make it so why are we giving them transparent money if they don't need it it's completely crazy i do have to say i completely agree with you and this is not the time to be talking about things like

this and this is not an emergency bill that needs to be talked about right away but i mean it's certainly something that needs to be looked at and i have to say no i can't point to this story or that story and say that's where liberal bias was however from just. snotty a lead us voices that i hear all day long i have to say it sounds liberal and elitist to me and if you've got some fire and brimstone people in there you know yelling and really causing a fuss might sound more like america to me. leave us snotty i hear actually i can i used to drive a volvo believe it or not which is like isn't that what n.p.r. listeners frogger of all those were i understand we're showing this seems like a weird time to bring this up again especially since these you know there's nothing actually new going on with your spelling it's just they said something that a lot of conservatives don't like about how they respond also i think it's a great distraction for house republicans who in the fall promised to cut a hundred billion dollars from the budget revise it to sixty and now they can barely passed now they're doing is the extensions of the continuing resolution so

this riles up the base of the straw. actions there's a new t.v. show out there which basically looks at one hundred one different ways to get kicked off the show and every time somebody gets voted off the show you get to choose how they leave they can get like strap to a boat fall off a plane all kinds of crazy stuff what does it say about our country johnny i think it says some things and i'm so excited. i don't know if you know i don't know if you know enough either of you know i consider myself a reality t.v. connoisseur our. reality t.v. happens to be one of my favorite things in the world and this show is brought to us from the same people who brought us wipeout and i think that it's going to be amazing really well in england the bastion of all things reality t.v. everything good we've got comes from them so yeah i'm excited and we have enough bad reality t.v. disasters from japan oh gosh i mean like you're talking reality t.v. is a distraction from like the news of the things we should care about i mean this i this

probably falls in the ever expanding category of things that sort of distract us from how horrible life is put in football that category which i think is in terms of the physical damage players it's much worse in these reality television shows but it's also not too far from what you see on a lot of people who shows in terms of like vapid and translucent payment well and i guess and culture talking about how radiation should be our next sunbathing location would probably fall into that category now i want to move on to new york there's been there's this piece that came out that basically pointed to the fact that new yorkers don't seem to really care about sex anymore because these reporters who went to a bunch of these fancy little parties were people more interested in snorting cocaine talking about social networking and just interacting with each other and not going home with each other not getting laid i mean it's horrible it is how you want to become slaves to the capitalist system where we work so much that we no longer take care of our physical needs it was a real physical need i don't buy it i don't buy in that same new york observer

article the reporter talked to some of the some kids in. some of the just turned twenty one thousand stars of skins i believe were there and this reporter introduced them to the idea have you heard that people have stopped having sex and these kids are like we don't know what you're talking about right kids don't feed two kids we keep hearing all these reports about how fewer and fewer kids are you know doing proper things these days but the older folks people of our generation right i mean we got to pay the bill these guys are on probably unemployed or living at home with mom and dad they have time to get freaky well i think this is actually evidence of a larger problem and it's that we're all becoming so absorbed in technical on line social interactions that we've kind of and out recently about you guys have to at least a little bit we've forgotten how to interact as human beings with other people and it's become less important i i have got these important lessons in the new york observer article i'm sorry i don't need to go there right i don't know why no it's ok and i use twitter and facebook and all these things i think the article was in a total i mean i don't know that it's i mean it also brings cocaine in addition to

twitter right that these people would rather stay of doing drugs all night which is like sort of like addict behavior so maybe if you polled some people use twitter and facebook and google but didn't use cocaine you might find that there's still i don't know i don't use cocaine i use a lot of social networking sites and i work way too much and don't really go out so unfortunately i could relate way too closely to this article and i think that's all the time we have heard tonight show but thank you so much for tuning in and please make sure to come back one monday when alone i will be back and she's going to be interviewing joshua gray's one of the authors of an article explains how the trainer talks to hear his mom then you meantime please don't forget to become a fan of the on the show facebook and of course call us whatever and again miss any up tonight show or any other night you can catch it all on youtube dot com slash the alona show we are now hosting the interviews as well as the entire show on the site coming up next is the news with the latest headlines from the u.s. and around the world.

sports is political in ways we don't often even notice especially on the level of culture where our ideas and attitudes as a society are shaped. these are the ties between professional football and the u.s. military have existed since the start of the n.f.l. back in nineteen twenty that relationship meant slaves during world war two and today that bond is stronger than ever in one. ear and turned to a secure location all killed feel a certain kind of killing in the country's history has taught us that sports is never just something that we just sit back. and sports always had an important social function.
