let's not forget that we have an apartheid regime right here. i think. either one well. we have a god that says there are keeping safe get ready because of the your freedom. of speech on our been here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture.

new web site which twenty four seven live streaming news tells what to do about it ongoing financial heart unlimited free high quality videos for download. and stories you never find on main stream. media so. meet the political. parties are just for. you guys welcome to shelly's hell on the obama show which hardly are just sad to say on the topic now i want to hear audio just go on to you tube the video response to twitter for thought of the question that we've hosts on you tube every monday and on thursday. showing the responses.

it's time for tonight's tool time award and this evening it goes to oklahoma republican senator jim inhofe and the g.o.p. senator is a firm believer that global warming is just a hoax he's perpetrated or that he thinks it's perpetrated by evil scientists who are trying to destroy american business and he also had to be a major supporter of oil and natural gas drilling here in the u.s. so during an appearance on fox news host brian kilmeade radio show this week he spoke about hydraulic fracturing that's a method of extracting natural gas which is known as fracking and take a listen to his comments. the big one. where the water could be a relation it. treasury asserted it we.

could not get it near that provision. interesting comments senator inhofe there's never been one documented case of contaminated ground water from fracking i beg to differ just this week there was an accident at a national gas well in pennsylvania thousands of gallons of water filled with chemicals ran into a nearby street and seven families in the area had to be evacuated the company doing the drilling has now stopped all fracking in pennsylvania while investigates your comments over to simply not true senator let's also not forget that there was a documentary that was made called gasland by josh fox who we interviewed here on this show and that documentary displayed the dangerous effects of fracking and as you viewers may recall we've also cover the fracking issue here on our show numerous times in fact archie reported on a pennsylvania family who can't drink their water after a natural gas company began drilling on their land. it got so bad that uli of his cousin lives down the street decided to find out what would happen if they let

their water fire. a lot of flame good to big al. like let's hear it with a click. like that i think. so senator inhofe he is still think the fracking hasn't caused any water contamination ask that pennsylvania family who can now light their drinking water on fire and if you still aren't convinced senator there's a new study from cornell university that's going to be published this may it says the fracking could be worse for the environment than coal mining and didn't president obama just a few weeks ago call for more drilling of natural gas here in the u.s. they read a few years everyone will be able to like their drinking water on fire so on this earth day wouldn't it be nice if senator inhofe and other g.o.p. leaders started telling the truth about climate change and the dangers of drilling for oil natural gas or unfortunately i doubt that will ever happen and that's why senator inhofe is tonight's tools i am where i am now today is earth day to day

that we're supposed to be reminded to take care of our planet to appreciate it to realize that it's what keeps us alive and realize that hey maybe we should try a little bit harder not to screw it up for ourselves for future generations for all of humanity and these days that we have science to help guide us in the right direction but unfortunately it's something that so many politicians in this country refuse to accept now only our legislature is full of climate change deniers and lawmakers who are easily bought off by oil and gas companies so that their business models don't get regulated for the sake of profits at our expense we also have authority to bites the label anyone that tries to expose us to some not so easy truths as eco terrorists are discussed this is will potter author of green is the new read an insider's account of the social movement under siege well thanks so much for joining us. now you've got a great book here and what better day to talk about it right but before we really

get into the eco terrorist aspect here i want to look at what's going on in you know politically in this country obviously we've got budget debates going on on capitol hill for the first thing is that instantly goes happens to be the e.p.a. or funding for other. you know excuse me for other programs in the work of climate change why is it there's just no political will why isn't this being made a priority is especially the time when everyone including people like james inhofe you just mentioned consider themselves going green there's nobody who will say but they're not an environmentalist or they don't care about the planet because it's just not publicly acceptable for what it takes sceptical to say that i don't believe climate change is real exactly and that's the contradiction so with the b.p. example you mentioned i mean the tax cuts for the starch breaks that b.p. received were actually more than the entire budget of the u.p.a. from an article that was circulated around today so we lose just a stark disparity between what people stated purposes or what's actually taking

place and one of the things that i also think is interesting that you mention in your book too is that this isn't just about profits of course corporate profits play a large part here but it's also about a war of values and about culture i let me use texas an example right now i know it's your home state and there are horrible wildfires going on there right now there's a drought and governor rick perry has officially made the next three days days of prayer for rain so why is it ok to officially have the government made days for prayer but it's not ok for the government to officially acknowledged the climate change exists i just don't understand where your courage people who just prayed about it and they could better and she was actually have to address the problem right and that's unfortunately what perry and inhofe and all these other politicians with vested corporate interests are trying to do it rather just presided over you know just buying a prius or. this other product or pray for rain let's not address the systemic

problems that are at the root of all this ok now let's get to the money aspect of it let's get to the intimidation you also say that special interests really are the ones that created this term eco terrorists and they're the ones that really pushed it into the spotlight in the eyes of our politicians and our law enforcement agencies how do they do that starting in the 1980's they realize that the power of language so they created this word you could terrorism it started flacking it relentlessly in the press and in congressional hearings and in press conferences in every step away along the way that threat became more and more real and less of a p.r. campaign to look up to the point especially after nine eleven that it was completely impossible to distinguish corporate rhetoric from official government policy now there is indistinguishable and you yourself have had experience with that right of the out already putting that into action tell us about how you had f.b.i. agents showing up knocking on your door i was working at the chicago tribune i was

covering a lot smarter desk reporting. and like a lot of people on the upshot be it just leaves you really depressed and pretty dark so i went out leafleting on an issue that i was already aware of from some previous stories. controversial in the testing company and i thought it was the most i could do. my job in the newsroom so we just hung door knockers on people's doors in a neighborhood where one of these executives lived we were restaurant disorderly conduct the charges all eventually dropped out of course because it's ridiculous but even more ridiculous is to the f.b.i. agents came to my door and they said unless i help them then became a government informant to investigate my co-defendants and there's other activist groups i did put on domestic terrorist list and this was only a few months after september eleventh so in that short period of time. we already saw this ratcheting up this terrorism rhetoric to go after activist and now it's been nearly ten years since then do you think that this type of intimidation is

working do you think that it's stifling the environmentalist movement that people are scared to join or are scared to take action well there is a lot of fear there's no doubt about that i mean especially with going on for the book tour and doing public speaking you hear all these concerns from people but at the same time i think once people learn about what's going on it can be empowered because all of this is taking place because these corporate interests view these groups as a threat they're affective they're growing they're part of a movement that's demanding real change and that's becoming more and more powerful and that's why they're being demonized and that's happened throughout history with social movements so in that sense i think people were able to cut overcome their fear so how do we keep it going we obviously have a book here to educate people but even if you talk about education within schools it once again becomes a cultural issue but i think you're absolutely right this will really only change it's going to come it has to be from one on one interaction with our friends and

colleagues other social movements of doesn't matter if you're an activist or not because through all of this working on these issues i actually become a little bit of an optimist in the sense that it's a rare oh i tell you something because every time i talk to people around the country and people who are. environmentalists or if you're anything like that once they learn about this people really pissed off and i think the more we educate people more people are going to demand change and i guess more people are going to be labeled as eco terrorists or they'll be allies angry they should be well thanks so much for joining us. now still to come tonight we have my fireside friday and we'll have some fun because if happy our party producer jenny churchill and the reason foundation's anthony ran down so join me in just a few minutes. we live in a party. led

i think. he did well. we haven't got the says he heard him say so get ready because you are freedom. hi guys welcome michel ancel on the obama show the part of our guest stop the family topics now i want to hear the audience has gotten you feel to video responses are to twitter for a plot of the question that we've hosted on you tube every monday and on thursday the show is long response is certainly local it's make us. feel safe

fixed. you know sometimes it's your story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you get something else here's the part of it and realize that everything is ok and you don't. try hard. to tonight's fireside with your whom. we already told you on tonight's

show the wall holding a fundraiser in san francisco president obama was met by a group of protesters who paid to be there by the way and who stood up and sang a song about bradley manning's unjust treatment it was to me a sign of hope it was great to see the president confronted head on by average citizens people who refused to live as president think that no one's paying attention the way to this government is treating bradley manning is going by i know it's true i wish there were more of them of course you know i wish that the media would do a better job of asking the president these questions and forcing him into a corner so that activists don't have to pay five thousand dollars apiece i'll turn mine in that he's not living up to his promises of course and the fact that money is the only way to get through to politicians is a perfect example of democracy doesn't belong to the people anymore but i'm happy that someone was willing to pay to create this action because all we really got out

of the attendance of these activists was a direct answer from the president and what he thinks about bradley manning after the speeches and the songs price was able to talk to the president one on one and he caught it on camera. we don't have a very good. what . did you hear that he broke the law that's interesting considering that bradley manning hasn't been put on trial yet considering that he hasn't been convicted of any crime yet our president has already made up his mind when it comes to his guilt and that's justice for you coming from the former constitutional law professor that's the sure sign the bradley manning will never get a fair trial held be used as an example to scare whistleblowers and deter them from exposing our government's actions to keep us all scared enough so the government

can keep waging wars around the world that bring us nothing but more death and more danger all to make sure that we don't question it and you know there's a famous phrase in times of war the law falls silent it's happened before it's happening now so let's make sure there are voices to do the same. well it's that time of the year again the moment you all do waiting for the week when media moguls in d.c. elites pick up their copy of time magazine's one hundred list that's right every year movers and shakers in new york city in the beltway anxiously await to see who makes the front cover they desperately flip through the pages to see the official list of who's who in the world who time considers the most influential and this year is absolutely no exception issues cover features pictures of a few people on the inside and like past issues you'll get a nice collaboration of media stars politicians entertainment masters and even

cause celeb activists are there are people in this one hundred list that to be honest i just don't understand according to this list is comprised of the most influential people in the world and their ideas sparked dialogue dissent and sometimes revolution oh well then it must be really uncertain right now we initially became concerned or we saw. joe scarborough on the list he's the edmonton b c morning show co-host of the show morning joe and in this piece he's praised for his independent viewpoint which is over these days really really is joe scarborough really that unique from what i know joe scarborough is an ex politician who has positioned himself as the sole voice of reason in a nation of crazy people they've gone for us that every day americans have joe to tell us when we've gone too far or call out his buddies in d.c. when they've done something that the only thing the time doesn't mention is nobody other than d.c.

bureaucrats in new york city professionals actually watch morning joe and what a time list be without yale's very own milf amy chew up author of the book battle hymn of the tiger mother yes she's hot she's ivy league and she was taste of the week for the new york media who had her on day after day for what seemed like weeks to discuss her scary chinese style of parenting and of course to out the drama time even threw in a few real tigers to show how truly fierce she is naturally but let's move on to the member of the list the really boggles my mind blake lively i mean i don't even the seine thing here i will let you guys at home just think about this one for one single second name a one thing she's done that's made her worthy of being on this list. you're still thinking aren't you and you would be correct because she's done nothing of the only reason she's memorable is because she's hot so let's get back to the list as a whole which is nothing more than a popularity contest for new yorkers d.c.'s movers and shakers to discuss at their

next cocktail party it's like the prom king and queen for new york except the there are one hundred of them and year after year we see the same politicians c.e.o.'s and media hacks make this ridiculous list in the same new york media thing ups like to say mainstream media hosts that are loved by no one but the establishment media themselves like joe scarborough and just to make matters worse near and dear friends of those featured in the lists right up the information for them that way they can get just as many disconnected elite boyce's in on the list as possible so cheers to the time magazine popularity contest contest it's just one giant collective ego masturbation as if the people who made this list need another pat on the back from folks over time so save yourself the time the money and the energy and skip the time one hundred most influential people that is unless unless you're looking for a laugh. ok

it's right time for happy hour joining me tonight arjun producer jenny churchill and the reason ground nations anthony rant as well. let's turn to something that really just seems so ridiculously complicated but people want to do this all the time evangelical christian minister and political activist david barton is claiming that net neutrality violates the free market principles of the bible i mean first of all i didn't know that really you can apply the bible to net neutrality to the internet to these kind of issues this is like an archaic piece of work with very new technology but i don't know the bible as well as you do anthony please please tell me about all the free market principles the book of buying the book of friedman which is in the in the new testament you can find also all sorts of these things so you know it's very simple you can say i mean you know one or two phrases

that extrapolate out from any basic principle about government being hands off of then you can apply that something like that neutrality means that these were you know i guess if you want to talk about really have you talk about trial here at happy hour we will be shown you are going to have a hands on you seriously the reality is that the bible doesn't tell you anything about the market the bible tells you what oh that jesus was a socialist the fire he wanted to know what it was idea that he wants everyone to have been and that the things he'd according to the bible you know i just i can't see jesus being capitalist so i can't see the bible being a free market but out of purely barton can't see just being a socialist so you distort facts out when you know what you think the story maelstrom is i don't you know it's if you could see he's actually right about the neutrality but it's ridiculous to link it to the bible obviously yeah well he says the net neutrality is socialism on the internet but i just love that this is the guy that thinks that the govern. that socialism on the internet is net neutrality but he also thinks that homosexuality should be regulated by the i believe is also

one of the backstabber people so obviously is one of the most credible sources out there of you actually let's move on to something that isn't as funny actually i think it's really really really screw up and after so the nine eleven first responder build it took years to get past right to give the people that were the first responders compensation for their medical bills because so many of them have already died so many of them now have cancer from breathing in this toxic dust and now we have just found out that there's a little clause in this bill that means that names have to be run through the f.b.i. is terrorism watch list before you can actually get any of that money or any of that help. yes yes it's you know on a surface it sounds about a screw up is something i could possibly say sounds pretty insulting and i i honestly i wracked my brain all day trying to figure out like the reasoning behind this and really all i can come up with is there they must be assuming that after the horrific way they have treated these american heroes that they are now

terrorists because they are just like devastated their lives so her ethically i think they've been so angry that now they've just said it was violence on the house and the government this is this is the problem and we go back to my libertarian march right here this is the problem when you set up government programs for stuff like this and we shouldn't even have had to go to the nine eleven first rounders bill in the first place we should have been one big charity thing ever i ever thing the jon stewart did to highlight this should raise the whole bunch of money so they could have been private funds doing this in the first was you once you're there with your government when you have to really crazy things no matter how many americans say that they really respect and honor the first responders if you really think that you're going to raise enough money to cover all these people's medical bills i think you're dreaming or not sorry but that's just not how it works it's really aside from the point anyways because you're sitting here saying this turned into such a mouse and we should have just made a charity it should never turned into a mess i don't understand people in congress arguing about whether or not to help

people who are dying because they pulled people out of the wreckage from nine eleven i don't get that i will never get that and i have to say i mean this is this is happy hour i know very do you think it's going to have sort of it was all right so how are you with i mean think about if we can do extreme home make over and we can have all these businesses highlight themselves to build a building why can't we have medical companies highlight their good charitable or by offering incentives for the season i already yes i believe yes you believe so you're saying that your solution is to put these poor people on television and children who are contrary that's being financed by companies just. thank you no let you know if companies offer free services to these guys and actually given the credit they deserve if they are for the price i want to see on t.v. with an oxygen chain. i know that i have a wall i think is really happening here is that now we know how screwed we are right because we know that you can get put on terrorism watch list for ridiculous

things these days don't really reduce funding a documentary but if you were one of the first responders that actually helps save lives you know after we experience the worst terrorist attack on american soil ever and you can still be put on a terrorist watch list there's no hope for any of us everybody is great and we're all done as i was point. happy hour ok very light something that's a little happier i guess i think but we have a perfect example of the stupidest criminal of all time and this is when pride it really gets in your way there's an l.a. gang member anthony garcia who committed a murder it turned into a cold case that was on it couldn't find the guy that committed the murder and then he got arrested for some minor charge and the guy had a tattoo of the exact murder scene played out on his chest and that's how they solve that and he confessed right there and now he's going to show he actually didn't confess right there they had us on video and got some video because they had

cops go in pretending to be people who are also gang members who are arrested right through car seem to when i think missing the real story in the real story here is a whole new world of street art that is now opening up right so thanks these next film is how he's going to partner with some street hoodlum in l.a. and they're going to go across the country tagging gang bangers chess with new or i mean that's that's what's really beautiful about this is we now have this whole new art scene that's opened up i'm not really happy that that i like that i have to say this guy's probably more upset about this article in the l.a. times than he is about being arrested because i one point they call him another because i believe and you know i did i mean he lost. nearly a year. really got into the details on this on this tattoo because they even have like the christmas lights because it has become or the murder was committed sometime during the holidays he wanted this you know memorialize it was like this isn't a spur of the moment decision either because they said that the tattoo evolved over

time as he got arrested for things so like at one point you know the street sign didn't have a name that it was time to go to the house it was also due to how cool cops in l.a. are now because they can actually look at this and they figure it out like well you know want to let's point out that he that's nice real underlying story is a good new or not troubling great cops in a way ok i'm down with everybody gathered around i think i would have periods of the guy maybe got guilty as the time passed which is why he decided to start solving you know the little piece of the puzzle. and adding more detail ok thank you for joining me every friday that's a pretty night show thanks for tuning in to make sure you come back and next week we'll speak to a contractor in afghanistan about a commission on more time contractor things hearings on ways to reform in the meantime don't forget to become a fan of a lot of show on facebook and follow us on twitter and if you missed any of night show or any other nights you can always catch all the you tube dot com a lot of show for you post the interviews as well as the shell in its entirety coming up
