well. the a we have a. safe rabbit because freed up a. little of our own. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you saw you don't i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.

so i'll go back to the big picture i'm tom hartman coming up in this half hour our rage erupts in wisconsin after a call the clerk discovers over fourteen thousand uncounted votes in the race for the state supreme court justice and it seems the clerk's work history is just as dirty as the scandal plus if you're one of the millions who have a g. mail or hotmail account your emails are not private and yet this government is

trying to keep it that way this is even legal and have you ever wondered what makes you a republican or a democrat well it's all in your head literally. story coming out of the wisconsin supreme court election last week reeks of something fishy from claiming victory democratic backed judge joanne kloppenburg was shocked to hear that over fourteen thousand votes were suddenly found on thursday as days later to give her opponent incumbent conservative judge david prosser who has said he wants to continue scott walker's agenda a seventy five hundred vote advantage large enough so there won't be an automatic

recount and give republicans the state supreme court as missing votes were found in surprised the most conservative county in the state and the woman who found those votes county clerk kathy nicholas surprise has a history of fudging out past elections and vote totals in fact she's been audited from usual handling of election results and surprise she's a former employee of judge david prosser you know the conservative guy who's running against. senate conservatives bill another facet on the american people and steal another election that will be vitally important to governor scott walker's future union busting efforts here to shed some more light on this issues bread freedom that's a good journalist blogger and publisher of the brad blog red blog dot com brad welcome dave thanks congress here great to have you with us fourteen thousand votes turn up out of nowhere to change the winner of the election but that what the. bleep is going on in wisconsin. actually.

walk struck down. jackie nicole it's simply well know election officials should be trusted. overseas. she has been most i can't for the life of five states not already counted every single solitary computer everything else walker so accounted because the more i learn about that situation the more troubling it becomes. there was an eighty year old democratic canvasser ramona kid singer who had been pulled out at this press conference that nicholas gave the other day and was sort of pushed forward and then told the voucher the numbers we're learning more today to change nothing about the numbers she was kept out of some of the canvassing meetings something very strange is going on that. those fourteen thousand votes that kathy vehicle is

suddenly announced on thursday were actually reported in a small local news outlet brookfield on tuesday night so nicholas didn't necessarily pull them out of thin air that said we we don't know if they're accurate or not because all of these ballots in wisconsin where they largely use paper ballots that's good been scanned by computers and nobody has bothered to actually verify if the computers were recording those the paper ballots accurately is very troubling putting on my putting on a well at the moment would it be reasonable to assume kathy nick was actually didn't just invent or create those votes that they were held back until the last minute while perhaps votes were invented or created elsewhere in the state and then

brought out when they were needed and. the classic you know when i when i was a kid i was a i was my best friend's dad was a professional magician and i did magic you know i learned that and the trick is you always want them to look at your right hand while your left hand is actually doing the trick you know getting getting a rabbit. kind of thing what's really going on is going on around the someplace else in the state and the cabbies eat. that is very much my concern right now because a lot of people are looking at walkers. captain acknowledged she deserves to be looked at closely because of the excuses she's given for all of this simply don't. for all sorts agree but yet said you know everybody is looking at her and it's a big state and there's a lot of other boats out there in milwaukee doesn't get even have a vote in and there were some reports still unconfirmed on election night out of

milwaukee that i'm quite concerned about so yeah i'm concerned that we may have a bit of a distraction here but again it goes back to the same thing we have paper ballots we should be counting them in front of all the people that i don't know what i have standing right now. i understand right now we just have a minute here left i say is in fact they're not going to count the paper ballots they're just going to run them through the machine the same the same ballots and the same machines again and that they're only going to do it need to have the right you know you. know yes in a recount the way it works in wisconsin is yes they will put it back through the machines unless there is a court order but when. the recount rules allow for the campaigns to actually examine each ballot before it goes through the machine so it will call it sort of a virtual hand count all of it crazy talk to have a full hand count frankly across the entire state at this time. that the chain of

custody for these paper ballots has been secured for the past week and then thank you very much for dropping by tonight my pleasure the important thing to remember is in this story even a processor prevails in the end nineteen counties in wisconsin switched from republican to democrat in last week's election and for the last november's election this shows us that the american people are fed up with the radical anti-union agenda that the republicans are pushing all across the nation you call it a widespread fever of voters remorse. but i think there's something more important going on here and it's really pretty straightforward and that is that again we have machines counting votes as as i mentioned earlier i just i just spent the last five days in germany in germany they vote on paper in fact the only country in europe the tried electronic voting machines was holland they try to do a couple of years ago they said these things don't work they're not reliable you can't trust them you can't audit them and they don't them canada tried them for a year they got rid of them now in germany for years and years i lived there for

your back in the eighty's for years and years just like in the united states for decades you knew i remember back in the in the sixty's of fifty sixty seventy long before there were voting machines everybody voted on paper my mom was one of these volunteers that the you know the people voted on paper and yet the newspaper the television stations were able to call the elections the evening the village why they did exit polls something very strange started happening though in one thousand nine hundred eight in the one thousand nine hundred eight election and several of the critical states the election polls just didn't come all right they weren't they weren't the same as what they were chronic voting machines it got even worse in two thousand it's called red shift it was always always working to the advantage of the republicans the the shift in certain some states it was as high as seven percent same thing in two thousand and two same thing in two thousand and four now you know you could build a conspiracy theory around this or not the bottom line is really simple thomas paine laid it out he said the right of voting for representatives is the primary

right by which all other rights are protected to take away this right is to reduce him into slavery for slavery consists in being subject to the will of another and that he has not a vote in the erection of representatives is in this case in other words voting is the beating heart of democracy why do we have government we have government to administer the commons our air our water our police our schools all these other things these are our commons and how do we run the government we tell them what to do. and we need to be telling it what to do without our voice being mediated by four corporations one of which is own partly in venezuela one of which is own partly in saudi arabia and two of which are owned by people who clearly and explicitly come right out and say that they're affiliated with the republican party it's nuts it's time for us to say no to the voting machine just like canada did just like the netherlands to just like all the european countries and let's just go back to paper it works.

the government wants to read your e-mails and they will it begging congress not to take that power away from them if you know that under current law authorities can read your e-mail without a warrant as long as it's older than one hundred eighty days and not stored on your personal hard drive that means any older email with left over in a third party server like g. mail or hotmail or yahoo is subject to the government's prying eyes but a new legislation aims to change that one class by e-mail whether it's on your own computers our drive or another server as off limits to investigators without a warrant however the white house the f.b.i. and other agencies are opposed to the bill and are essentially telling us if we want to be safe we need to give up our emails. so is this what's required to live

in a safe america or is this just another blatant violation of our fourth amendment rights to privacy your job or call it what chronic privacy information center joins me now to talk about this issue and you're welcome thank you very much for having me great to have you here with us in this field for the start of the beginning here in the spaceport world today a lot of people particularly people like you know younger people don't understand even though there were privacy means why what is privacy and why is that important so what we have in this particular instance is an act act but the electronic communications privacy act which was written back in one thousand nine hundred six now if you think about the way the technology was in one thousand nine hundred sixty you can see what the problem is with this act it hasn't been substantially changed since that in one thousand and six was three hundred baud modems a phone and yeah yeah yeah and and so we have a great expansion in technology that has just outpaced the law. and and so. are

pretty much all of our e-mails on third party servers these days most of them at this point it's what's called cloud computing where you use to save things like google microsoft word documents or like your e-mail in outlook on your computer it would be saved on your hard drive this really goes to the question of privacy now the privacy has control over your information now that information is stored up in the cloud which is a remote server that's owned by google that's owned by microsoft that's owned by some third party company so you lose some control of that information when it's you weren't there you know without getting to walk you on this you know the difference between pop and i'm out and unclog even with pop. servers who are basically every time you log on you suck down all the email and deletes it from the server if you go back into that server and you look at your deleted the mail folder there are your emails and they're often there for years and most you set up specific defaults for them not to be there and what is so there is that you've lost control over your

information where it used to be if the government wanted to take that information from you to look at that information they would have seen a warrant they would come into your house they would get your hard drive they would look at that now you might not even know that the government is looking at your information because it's on that server they can simply make a request are oftentimes not even involving a warrant from that third party are hosting service and they can get your information yes. you know i have two concerns here and they have to do with the government one is you know i don't frankly want the and i say i would never read my e-mail but. i don't really care frankly i mean it's not like i'm in some high security business but on the other hand having grown up in america and in some small towns in america i've seen situations where small town cops in fact i know personally i knew a woman who was stalked. by a small town cop. both lived in the same town and the way i'm reading this law

if if if my cousin bobo's a town it was a cop in a town of four hundred people decides he wants to check on his girlfriend always got to do is go to the eyes and say give me the emails and that's exactly why we need a warrant requirement that requirement creates oversight because it requires that law enforcement then go to a court and show that court why they need to happen from in other words in other words this isn't just the it's not the big government this could just as easily be a small town sheriff this could just as easily lead to the guy have you done in. georgia precisely what we see these sorts of abuses even with with the big government with the f.b.i. sure yeah and it but it all frankly it concerns me even more. because so often there are so many cases of of police officers abusing their power to check up on friends of relatives and girlfriends boyfriends on infidelity on all

these other kinds of is just another it's just and but this brings us back to this issue of people don't understand privacy would it be inaccurate to say as the as jefferson made that point one when he was arguing for the fourth amendment which doesn't have the word privacy in it because back then that was a word that people used to describe going to the toilet you know the privy but you know being secure in your person papers and effects that's what we call privacy would be inappropriate or inaccurate to say that the reason why it's important is that. we can't really contemplate taking on a force larger than us and less we have the ability to do it with anonymity yes in order to be able to have a real broke last power of dissent so real robust first amendment freedom of speech you have to be able to have them and then maybe you have to not be constantly afraid that your government is looking over your shoulder and whether it's. because i remember whether it's against your own wells yes ok and so so that really is the

definition of privacy ultimately and why it's important and any chances to this law is going to be changed there's a possibility we're we're hopeful for it echo reform has been something that's been going on for years that's this hope in this question for this reform because the law has been outdated for a long time it's ginger thanks so much for dropping by paralyzed for most of you here with us sadly in our post nine eleven world our lawmakers have been more than willing to put our rights especially our privacy rights on the chopping block over and over and over again a paraphrase of ben franklin about how those who would give up freedom to get safety deserve neither comes to mind. coming up on ideas for conservative rules or liberal views originate from here's a hint it's still a place that coordinates your balance of vision and hearing.

let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right here in the us. i think rather than be the one. we have the government says to be safe get ready for freedom.

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so silly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you don't know i'm sorry is a big issue. for .

it's the good the bad of the very very extremely oddly pursed the good icelandic voters after a two thousand a financial collapse thanks to irresponsible banks toure's the government of iceland is trying to repay its bank debt to the u.k. in the netherlands but on saturday voters said no way and they rejected a national referendum it's actually the second time they've done it it would have forced taxpayers to foot the five billion dollar bill instead taxpayers want to see the big banks who gambled with their money put in the bill absolves parts are now going to settle the issue of kudos to the voters for taking a stand and putting the banks through to know what's the bad the donald you know that guy in there and all i money from his father and went bankrupt a couple of times and whatever any. one here in an interview to c.n.n. over the weekend from finally put his finger on the real reason why we're all being

a lie. to president obama's real birthplace. and the grandparents put that in because obviously they want him to be a united states citizen because in those days so this is all about getting welfare i mean president obama isn't part of a socialist plot to put their manchurian candidate at the white house well done trump first question is whether out the president is canyon and then call his grandparents out to be welfare abusers he's hitting on all cylinders now in the republican race to the bottom. of that money here and the very very ugly. news talking head here johnson on fox and friends this morning johnson had some high praise for house speaker john boehner take a look. so american supposed to believe that he's actually changed philosophically serious about getting reelected that's what he's serious about and i think what he witnessed is john boehner leading the greatest interest venture in american history intervention for

a debt and spending addicted congress and white house reeling the greatest intervention in american history. i suppose intervening to end slavery in the eighteen hundreds and communist witch hunts in the one nine hundred fifty s. giving women the right to vote in one nine hundred twenty s. countless other interventions to make our nation better all pale in comparison republicans are for it's to defund planned parenthood so the poor women can get cancer tests that's very very hard. sciences finally discover the difference between republicans and democrats and it all has to do with our brains. researchers at britain's university college in

london did extensive tests in the brains of individuals who identify themselves as a liberal or conservative and what they found was that the brains looked remarkably different depending on which way the individual leaned politically it all centers on two parts of the brain the amid billa and the anterior cingulate gut cortex the middle up part of your brain more ancient it's part of the more ancient brain processes fear and fight or flight responses among other things as well as fight and flight anterior cingulate cortex or a.c.c. on the other hand which is more recent in our evolutionary functions processes more rational cognitive functions and deals with complexity in understanding the researchers found was that in conservatives the a mid july part of the ancient fear portion of the brain was much larger than the evolutionarily newer a c c part of the rational brain and liberals the opposite was

true they had a much larger a c c in a much smaller middle this could explain why republicans are more sensitive to fear producing political narratives like homeland security and war democrats are more able to understand and see the nuances of social political concepts like the we society and equality programs that require deeper levels of understanding and complex thought beyond just understanding the differences between the brain of a conservative in the brain of a liberal it's even more important to take a look at how brain develops differently to begin with. i is it that some people have larger a middle a middle is than a c c's and vice versa it all happens in the womb. when a fetus is developing the ancient parts of the brain develop first it's sometimes called the reptilian brain because it's pretty much most of their brains through reptiles it's the fear driven most primal part of our brain it's the fight or

flight the kill or be killed part these ancient parts are the dominant parts of the brain even today from modern day lizards and fabians and even drive the behavior of highly evolved animals like you and me they run the necessary skills to survive in the wild they drive fear which in people leads to things like beliefs that obama's a secret muslim and the anti-christ oh and he wants to take your guns away next week but later in the development of a fetus another part of the brain develops the more recently volved parts like the cortex and the a.c.c. and the newer neocortex all working together so we can process complex emotions and rational thinking this is the intellectual actually the thoughtful part of our brain and it's the part that's bigger in liberals according to the u.k. study and says this more recent part of the brain develops later and is evolutionarily more advanced and is what essentially separates us from animals then

it's this part of the brain that should be nurture it's this part of the brain that advances the human race that allows our species to thrive and unfortunately this part of the brain is in danger consider a pregnant woman and developing fetus is constantly asking mom and i have to be will be born into a safe world or a dangerous world. this is this is the question the fetus is asking mom and the answer back comes chemically in the level of cortisol and other stress from ramon's in mom's blood and blood stream that she has that is circulating through the baby through the placenta when the woman has a stressful pregnancy like in a war setting or in a society rife with poverty and violence mom produces lots of stress hormones like cortisol that message chemically communicated to the fetus is it's a dangerous world get ready with fetus does this by making the lizard part of the

brain and the middle of bigger and the a.c.c. smaller more fight or flight for the dangerous world less deep thinking it would be a luxury in a safe world nature is preparing the child to survive in a violent environment by nurturing the fight or flight and fear mechanisms and trading off the more intellectual facilities or faculties the child becomes more animalistic and the problem solving skills are often wanted and geared toward simplistic and violent revolution on the other hand if a mother goes through a more peaceful and less stressful pregnancy then the a.c.c. and other more recent evolutionary parts of the brain develop more in the lizard brain and the amygdala and though that child may lose some of its instinctual fight or flight school skills and may not be as adept as living in the jungle alone they do acquire a very useful intellectual capabilities that reside in this new more evolved brain

age reason better think epithet equipped saw the problems without violent conflict . and considering our species has emerged from the walsall violent century in the history of mankind the twentieth century saw over one hundred fifty million of us slaughtered by war in one century and i think we should embrace our more peaceful and our more human brains that's why it's absolutely essential that we stop the republican cuts to programs for women and children why it's so important that we strengthen our social safety net particularly for the most vulnerable among us if your children can be born with a larger einstein like brains and the future of our species is limitless this is a what's at stake it may produce more liberals it also produce fewer wars undo the republican cuts today the world's future may well depend on that's the big picture for more information the stories we visited check out our web said tom started a common r.t.
