full time psychic and in fifty years ago today a soviet cause when i was the first man in space so have a look back at the history and the future of human space like the return. we had in the far right. we never got the chance to safely get ready because our freedom. by guys welcome to show itself on the on a shelf part of our guests have to say on the topic now i want to hear audio has

gone to you tube the video response so far to twitter for thought of the questions that will host on you tube every monday and on thursday to show your responses. you know some good to see the story and it seems so. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here's some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't. charge is

a big. art it's time for tonight's tool time award and tonight it goes to the attorney general of virginia ken cuccinelli now since being elected which now is trying to make a name in the g.o.p. ranks as a hard line conservative he's suing to stop the federal health care reform law from being enacted in virginia he's filed a brief supporting arizona's papers please immigration bill but here is one of my favorite cuccinelli actions he altered a version of the state seal because it veered to so roman god is on the seal had her left breast exposed and i'm not even making that up he had pins made up with the new seal but backed down from the plan after an uproar so you see where i'm

going here cuccinelli is absolutely desperate to prove that he is the most conservative of them all so the latest action should come as absolutely no surprise when asked by a state lawmaker if it was ok for someone to carry a gun and a religious event or church. said in his legal opinion it's totally fine to bring a weapon to church that's why you can now pack heat when heading to church this sunday according to the state's general authority attorney general now there's a current law in virginia that says the anyone who carries a firearm to a place of worship while a religious meeting is being held without good and sufficient reason can be found guilty of a class for mr mir a conviction carries a maximum five of two hundred fifty dollars but ken cuccinelli says that if someone carrying a gun for personal protection all that that constitutes a good and sufficient reason so all you have to do is call a vote that somebody out there might be threatening you when you're free to strap on your six shooter before heading to warship just grab your bible your sunday best and your gun but my question is why the hell do you need a gun a church isn't

a place of worship also supposed to be a place of peace what do you do flash it to the guys sitting next to you so it isn't encroach on your praying space this is just another move by gun lovers to flex their muscles with a politician who is all too eager to help ken cuccinelli is again seeking the media headlines as he tries to further his own career and that's why we've made him tonight's total time winner. and we can now add the u.n. to the growing list of people complaining about the treatment of u.s. army private bradley manning u.s. military officials that blocked a u.n. official for a meeting with manning on monday manning as we've told you has been held in solitary confinement at a military prison in quantico virginia since last july he's charged with leaking classified documents to the web site wiki leaks including those thousands of state department cables now the u.n. mendez said he was deeply disappointed and frustrated that he wasn't allowed to have an unmonitored visit with manning and mendez want to visit manning to

determine if his kind of confinement the military brig amounts to torture that's something the u.n. is trying to investigate manning has reportedly been forced to stay in a cell in solitary confinement for twenty three hours a day he's asked every five minutes if he. ok he must answer so that doesn't allow him to sleep and most recent reports say that he's also been forced to strip naked and don't forget all of that is without being convicted of a crime now after being denied to visit the u.n. issued a reprimand to the u.s. government but let's not forget that this is the not the first time the access to manning has been tonight congressman dennis considered asked to see manning and was tonight amnesty international asked to see manning and they were tonight so if the military claims that this confinement is within their regulations why are they so scared to let anybody see him and this official reprimand does come directly in the wake of a controversy created by the u.s. state department's annual human rights report the document attacked a number of countries around the world for human rights violations including china

and pakistan but it gave the u.s. a glowing report now upset with that report china fired back with their own calling attention to america's border laptop searches and perhaps more importantly its attitude towards weiqi leaks all professing a fundamental belief and the freedom of the internet i don't matter what you think about china pointing fingers on human rights you know that they do have a point when it comes to this now when asked about the u.n. reprimand by two reporters at a state department briefing spokesman struggled to answer their questions. well ok so if you can plot what you talked to he says i'd like to i'd like to visit him and i you know it was either early in the absence of those conversations i just say we did but i believe it is a you can say that you're being forthright about it if you if you refuse to talk about it and if you don't talk about it at least forget about the actual conditions of his treatment or what if you're not prepared to talk about your conversations with a special report sure that's even less than not being forthright because you're not

telling us what you told him but you understand the legal route constraints that i'm operating under because this is an ongoing legal process where he's going. so while the u.s. continues to point fingers call out other countries for their human rights violations we continue to violate a u.s. citizens rights daily treat him in a way that constitutes torture by our standards by international standards and when asked to prove the critics wrong they deny any access to manning and when questioned about the violations the state department seems lost it's really scary to think that these people are the ones that are looking out for our interests around the world. now today's a significant day in the realm of space travel fifty years ago today sylvia cosmonaut who got in and made history as the first human being in space introducing a new era of exploration and that first flight is still being honored today artie's marina. reports. i stork accomplishment by one brief soviet

cosman and commemorated at the united nations fifty years later. first man in space for the exhibit unveiled to a crowd of roughly one hundred yes among them americans honoring a cold war era fought whose achievements in becoming the first man in orbit delivered a huge space race victory to the u.s.s.r. by god it was fantastic and i thought it was about and i was very jealous that this is a showcase for soviet science and technology and it's nice. from the russian perspective . that the russians opened up space for the rest of the world still images and film document yuri gagarin's preparation for the first flight the world upon his return and the trail for further still beat victories that followed over the next three decades was the first this russian the first person to go into space is ours the

first is ours so there really are things to be proud of this is an instance. the currents of monumental achievement is now officially marked worldwide the u.n. general assembly has adopted a resolution declaring april the twelfth the international day of human spaceflight just south of the international stage. new york is hosting a yuri's night game dance party to mark the anniversary american fans clad in costumes live out of a gathering lack of security think he is seen as a hero because what he did with something nobody had ever done before nobody knew what would happen whether he would come back in one hundred eight minutes the twenty seven year old or go to the planet and return to earth as an international hero. artsy new york. fifty years ago you didn't became the big. became the first man in space the first man to enter the final

frontier forty one years ago man walked on the moon and now it's two thousand and eleven and you would have thought that we'd be colonizing other planets things were going well let's face it the space race is over but we do see today as the dawn of commercial space flights rovers landing on mars and probes orbiting mercury so are we still on the right track or will manned space like coloration become a novelty of the past joining me to discuss it is geoffrey manber commercial space entrepreneur jeffrey thanks so much for joining us today for starters let's go back fifty years ago to guidance flight into space and obviously this was the space race here right the soviets beat the u.s. so there was some envy but at the same time really was he just looked at as a hero that the entire world kind of grace the first man in space and i'm reminded of it we would have a personal act of trying this was reminded of jonathan swift's that it was

a it was a man who ate the first oyster and what he did with this. no one else would and so it burst of. individual and certainly you know and really hundred years from now one hundred years from now. first remember. this is the movie we're in this is the one we know. so the fact that it's. an international. and it's beautiful and she was really good to exist so it's like i said the space race is over and you know we would have stopped by now that we would have been colonizing at least to the moon the rate of things were going but it's really really slow down so unless there is that type of political pressure put on something political pressure for governments to actually spend that much money on something you know are we just going to see space

exploration really drastically slow down. you sure are going to put me in a bad mood. but my feeling is we've talked about this government and government funding is going to allow the commercial sector and i don't this difficult time we're going to see immigration lower cost i mean finally it's not the soviet anymore it's not the russian minutes not the american we're now entering a period where true entrepreneurs can get in and that's wonderful and that's really you know it was appropriate here and when it's a government official neil armstrong went to space as a government official and the next generation private citizens for a private company or government officials for private companies and they have to me is a lovely look we know that's already been ok well i know i know that you are a fan of the commercialization of space travel here but you know i do have

a few questions for example guiding was the son of peasants right and he got to achieve he got to be the first man in space which was incredible but these days if you want to be a space tourist here you have to pay millions of dollars to these companies it's not just something that anybody could enjoy and i also wonder if commercial spaceflight is going to make exploration really a thing of the past or they're just going to focus on fun joyrides around you know earth's orbit or something or perhaps passing the moon go or no longer going to be trying to go to that final frontier and you know do more research. well it's it's coming because it's the role of government to bravely when no one had done before and there will always be a role for government to go to the moon to go to mars that's the role of government but now that we understand low earth orbit now that we spent fifty years going for lower orbit it's time for the commercial sector and i love how you turned it around

you made by that yuri gagarin that the haven't done it with a lot of opportunity i think the price that you can back that you can pay for a ticket now opens it up to all of us and you don't have to be in the military or a care in the work. all right all right. well i hope that we still see you know and i'm going to say it's one thing that we have seen with new technologies is that you don't necessarily need a person to go out there and do the research do the science we have rovers we have probes these days and so i hope that you know the flashes man going into space doesn't just become a novelty thanks so much for joining us and i sure thank you thank you. now it's only tuesday but we need a little fun happy hour and we return to our team producer jenny churchill and lucy coughing up join me to discuss some of the stranger stories making headlines this week back and.

let's not forget that we are in the park but. i think. one well. we haven't got to be safe get ready because. rachel martin here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture.

you will. twenty four seven live streaming news times what to do about the ongoing financial hari unlimited free high quality videos or download. stories you may never find remove. most aren't much to say. hey guys welcome to the show and tell the show we've heard our guests have to say on the topic now i want to hear you just go out you tube to video on our to twitter for part of the questions that we post on you tube every monday and on thursday to

show your responses. your voice be heard. well ladies and gentlemen we've spoken about it at length here on the show the fact that congress put our government on the brink of a shutdown and then last friday reached an eleventh hour deal a deal on a number that is but they didn't let us know what was in the thirty eight billion dollars worth of cuts until today so let's break down the bill get another good look at where our government's priorities lie challis twenty billion would be cut from discretionary spending programs while seventeen billion would be copper mandatory programs i would for we get into all the details we should point out that there's eight point two percent reduction for all programs across the board. defense and fact defense was not only now cut all this budget they got an increase of five billion dollars so like i said you want to know where the priorities of your lawmakers lie right now let's get to the real number crunching of would

actually got hit areas hit the hardest because budget or health care labor and education which totaled up to a billion dollars in cuts making up fifty two percent of total projections of this entire budget one of the most notable health cuts. aids and tuberculosis prevention programs because who needs prevention right now all in all about fifty five health labor and education programs are going to be terminated but there are a few crucial ones that were spared and we should know that they're the ones that president obama probably fought hard to keep hell grants designed for poor college students got to keep five hundred million dollars the race to the top obama signature education reform effort will get an extra seven hundred million dollars in funding for back to the cuts the bill would cut eight billion dollars to the u.s. state department and a large portion of those cuts would go towards their economic supports supports fund which supports efforts in countries undergoing rebuilding efforts meanwhile u.s. contributions to the u.n. and other international organizations would be slashed by over three hundred and

fifty million dollars i bet the republicans are all about that part now homeland security isn't spared either they're facing a small two percent which would most likely affect first responder grants on state and local levels and it's clear that the government is trying to find money to every nook and cranny here for example and use census money left over federal construction funds and on who's money from from a program providing health care to children and low income families all of that's been cut to and that's ten billion dollars right there however the democrats did except a few spending reductions in areas like community health programs state police departments even the e.p.a. that agency alone got stripped of over a billion dollars and federal funds and after the republicans have been pushing for for years so it looks like another win for them there and believe it or not there were a few policy provisions including in the spending bill they included measures to prevent get mo detainees to be transferred to the u.s.

under any circumstances and eliminated funding for obama to sars although frankly i don't really understand why three of the four of those sars have already left their positions and the provision that caused the biggest outcry here is the one that directly affects washington d.c. . see where federal and local funding for abortions would be banned it brought out a few d.c. council members and even the mayor vincent gray himself yesterday who ultimately got arrested for protesting these provisions. so as you can tell all these elements are leaving several lawmakers uneasy and if you have even come forward to clear that they won't vote in favor of this new budget bill so that means that we just might be on the brink of a budget shutdown again government shutdown excuse me if they don't agree it's becoming that this is never ending battle but for you at home now that you know

what's going to get cut and what will be spared a let you decide for yourself how you feel about this bill. well it's happy hour and it's tuesday and just wondering have you ever heard that statement you may come to the party with a bottle of wine that you may have left with something else i think some people might be a little familiar with that now there's a way to perhaps solve that problem at least to tell people if you left with something else maybe other people should know about it now you can send e-mails a friendly little e-card if you have an s.t.d. that just passes it on to a person basically saying like hey might want to go get tested do you think that's a good way or is that the kind of you know the wimpy way it's like surprise nothing

says i have gone real like an animated flash card which makes me wonder to the people that have i pads they left out of this whole thing but now i think this is great you know because if you have an s.t.d. or whatever that's that's them barest saying you know using condoms that can be annoying so this totally solve that entire issue you send a little e-card freak out your friend if you want to play a prank you know let your loved one know who it is that they're screwed without actually informing the fact that you're the yankee code and let's go to these cars not actually tell you who the person is your identity going on and there are none of us was like and i do it anyway if you gave me an s.t.d. you better own it screw that lin yeah they thought i was online society i think you have to realize that like a lot of people get us cities don't tell anyone and then everyone they pass along to you has no idea so i think it is a good thing however i would probably not believe it if i got one of these cards i would definitely think it was one of my friends playing it would be in the back of your head i just need a few that'll that's even the worst part is that people are now going to start

sending these things as prey and you know it's like the girl the cried wolf and the one time i actually get sent. somebody realistically as you might actually have an s.t.d. they're just not going to listen. to you suck in bed cards anonymous ones that. more into let's move on to a story considering that today is the hundred fiftieth anniversary of the day of the civil war began here in the u.s. this story has got a lot of people little pissed off a fourth grade teacher in norfolk virginia decided to hold a fake slave auction to teach her kids i guess you know what it was really was like back of those days but instead of just dividing the class i don't know any way randomly giving people numbers or having to raise their hands she actually divided the white students from the minority students and then had the white students purchase the minority students i would say that's a little left up yeah i'm actually glad that this story came up because it just

reminds us again how terrible teachers in america are about addressing race it's like i need to cover race for whatever reason so i'm going to do it in the worst possible way i'm all for you know getting students to care about the stories and trying to break through and you know make them feel something but yeah that was probably the worst way possible to approach it as you know i'm all for experiencing the burden of having been a horrible human being as unfortunately our history tells us many human beings have been but like their you know let's play concentration camp i don't know gas chambers and go back in history and do crucifixions and you know go back even more in history and burn witches at the stake i mean where does the line. because you remember johnny it was a while back we did a story about a teacher that had half of her class play the taliban essentially she was trying to describe this kind of conflict and out there is just a huge fox news was all over it you had every right winger speaking out against it

saying that it's deplorable it's just so wrong and yet something like this you know gets a little bit of an uproar we think it's mad. for the right wing doesn't care at all if you make all the minority kids play the slaves obviously you know the right way to go here if you were definitely going to do this would have been to randomly or maybe have the white students be the slaves so maybe they could feel that matters radically evil later and have a little bit you know i have to say that this happens time and time again and we just have to ask our educators getting another you know experience about how to deal with these delicate issues and i think the answer is obviously now instead of making everybody feel what it may have been like you know what a horrible feeling that is to just reinforcing the racism and the stereotypes and saying so you are still the ones that have to feel that way and for criticize mature enough you know there was a fourth grader running around like i own you too black and so so inappropriate let's see this last story very quickly to a school in chicago really been doing this for six years but i just found out about

it banned students from bringing their own lunches from home because they might be unhealthy they might have something sweet or salty and it so they have to eat the school's food oh nannies think it's awesome i love the nanny state i think they should have gone a step further and made these little children work the fields for their food like we used to fund the oil away and they would appreciate the effort that it takes to get there and yet if you are kids are trying fat anyway please let's just give kids a set amount of food say this is what you're eating not teach them anything about nutrition not you know force them to actually do some physical activity god for a bed you know i mean instead of addressing the problem we're just like oh you know what we'll just make them eat this we don't we're not teaching them anything they learn nothing but the truth is here is until truth is i'm not sure you will this is a public school so this is not some rich private school that buys only organic and has the best produce and is probably feeding their kids the actual healthiest alternatives they could probably get that maybe their parents can't afford in this wonderful i actually was

a public school and to have better judgment than i am not of there are a lot of bad parents out there with bad judgment the do. feed their kids crap i mean i know you don't have the right to feed our children or children like veal and you know for grog duckling one of these and for lard and butter but you know what yes it's a little bit of an odd approach to the public schools a little bit weird but you know what i think up in the day if teaching people gently doesn't work because they know it was supposed to work mind you these students are doing it not yet let's not teach them anything instead so that when they're older they don't know at any age because their whole life they've just been presented with food to eat but these pillars they are not of the ladder and he e-card well it's definitely it's quite the debate all across the us ladies thank you for joining us for a happy hour this evening that's it for tonight's show thanks for tuning in make you guys come back tomorrow we'll have an experience of the young turks on the program to discuss the fact that for the first time student loan debt has surpassed credit card debt in america and meantime go for good to become a fan of the a lot of show on facebook and follow us on twitter and if you missed any of
