9:31 am
of an unseen terra program. it's the second part of our in-depth report into america's teapot the movement and what goes on behind the scenes find out where they're getting support in this fascinating documentary that's next right here on out so. i want to talk about cap and trade or as i call it camp and tax and i think probably most of you do as well. but first i want to talk about global warming for a minute here's the last thirty years you'll see for the last ten years we haven't had any warming i think that shows that the models are phony by portray global warming as just another excuse for big government intervention by leftists ideologue's it's just another way of government controlling our lives and you know i'm dead set against that and certainly. human beings are not that planet well that would be great if it was true and fortunately the scientific community doesn't
9:32 am
agree as i found out when i spoke to print the equivalent of the union of concerned scientists overwhelming vast majority absolutely it most of the scientific societies around the world national academies of sciences the intergovernmental panel on climate change all the leading experts of the world they get together and make scientific statements about climate change they all agree that climate change is real it's unequivocal and they're very worried about the lack of action on the parts of weaning ourselves off of fossil fuel these guys have been able to delay action on climate change for two decades all along making billions and billions of dollars in dirty energy according to pay our man and orthodoxy i'm hogan the success of this record china has nothing to do with science and everything to do
9:33 am
with spin it was a media campaign they wanted to create doubt in the minds of journalists they wanted to create doubt in the minds of the public and your average person will never know they just see some articulate guy and even be a scientist basically being shills for industry people like fred singer he was a guy who worked for tobacco now works on climate change but because they're wearing a lab coat and they have a ph d. people believe them. i tracked down seeing in washington where he was briefing senate staffers on the scientific reasons why they support the cap and trade bill that's just. through the. that's not correct that's been calling since not everyone has the function of this to normal machine used today in disseminate the quasi science of people like dr singer. the science is not finished the debate is not over as he left to support this legislation would tell you i
9:34 am
think global warming is a complete hoax and we got to getting cooler for the past ten years some suggest that the research has been manipulated and those questioning the effects of climate change have been silenced myron ebell is director of energy and global warming policy for the competitive enterprise institute then there's the role of the conservative media establishment. by the nation's most watched news network folks news twenty four hours a day they pump out pro-business for republican talking points take place to emails sent to fox stuff like two thousand and nine the first directed all reporters to site global warming theory a place to point out of it critics have called into question well another instructor echoed the insurance industry language by using the words government run health insurance to describe the proposed health care reform government run health care may include some rationing a government health care takeover could drastically change the way you and your
9:35 am
family received health care but the party also was a lot of folks who urged its legion of loyal fans to get involved it's a movement that is sweeping the nation all across the country hundreds of these protests across the country in may involve millions of people bam fox news is out in front of us we can join the tea party action from your home if you go to the fox nation dot com the tea party revolution is probably one right by your. we have a map to show you just how widespread these are these are people who demand to be heard in such places as the like for their trip. with the oxen that is they want partly by car for commuters. making it was by their own manufacture i can point to every one of his organizations and give you specific examples would be the irony that you are disingenuous or called a name right ok they don't tell the whole story it's all one side story and we see
9:36 am
that now we're speaking out but if is one person at fox who's become a doll and if it's a party movement it's going back watching picks paranoid populism and rice biting what goes a long way to explaining some of the more extreme views in the tea party movement the media either can't see it or they're complicit or just wildly out of touch i don't know which it is but let me show you the big picture of what's happening here the roots of the tree of radicalism and revolution. this president i think has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep seated hatred for white people or the white culture i don't know what it is this guy is i believe a racist. with
9:37 am
nine million people tuning in to his t.v. and radio show is each that he makes obsession with communism also makes him a powerful ally to oppose things like the cap and trade bill. let's bring in phil kerpen he is the director for policy for americans for prosperity you like watermelon and i think this is a watermelon bill and i think you're exactly right this bill is green on the outside fifteen years just green on the outside and inside it's the communist red this was especially evident when i have pasted this story to the big. green jobs advisor was a commie this is the beginning this is the portal into all of this this is the biggest story in history self avowed communist activities there are communist
9:38 am
marxist revolutionaries all around this president these guys are marxists in the white house i have. a group. of. pep boys from the past use for it coke. million a number of the radical anti communist john birch society and. saga of charles and private well the threat of communism has long since cost it's striking how effective it still remains to instantly demonize opponents is evidenced in the descriptions of the climate and health care policy and right throughout the tea parties why has the a.n.c. or pharma spin doctors resorted to the language of the cold war propaganda diets and why has it been so effective in cause and styria among tea party go was.
9:39 am
curious i went to see mark crispin miller enron your professor and corporate propaganda expert there are certain techniques that propagandists really need to you is and they're so basic that you know they leave the scene in arguable to us or we never even notice but one thing that one must still of course is cloak on this message and a kind of moral righteousness you know we really believe in liberty we believe and create enterprise we care that all the time when i pay sixty names crony capitalism but it implies something that most americans will you know feel a surge of positive emotion about right now there is a tacit opposition there between free enterprise and communism and that's the other technique that that has to be you know still you've also got to have enemies game
9:40 am
and was able to service scapegoats and against which you can and all of the angry feelings that the propaganda were also inside. for them socialism conjures up a sort of weird will be a long list of all the bogeyman obama's associated with baffled by both right wing for example is also associated with was a loose you know of this myth that he was alone and so on is also black so all these things serve for a highly volatile and irrational dorothy of the american population. anyway that's just kind of classic propaganda and it's no accident that this serves the interest of the health insurance companies the big pharmaceutical cartel you know the petro chemical interests i mean we could go on or not it suits them fine this is why they have basically encouraged us and this is why they like people like
9:41 am
glenn beck and rush limbaugh who are the tribune smarm. understanding a bit more about how propaganda works and i went to examine its use as freedom works close to the first ever national tea party in washington d.c. we just leave the big government takeover of all the business we fear the government takeover of our liberties with the lock releasing the constitution and. we have set at home and not said anything but not the lady i was going on and finally we have done that mom please challenge and come to do something and we're not going to stop. i'm. going to tell a lot. of the other. and. the straight up the other three are.
9:42 am
the in. the end. the a. socialist this is take it over it's got a script on it you know it's leaks going it is a cool thing or something that really gets us to listen to the risk the constitution the bill of rights you must bring. yeah we came out here today for freedom i'd say that right just bursting to talk to you. while you got off there was a place else coming and going and take our freedom we're going to. fight for you. now this trash neighboring and now not.
9:43 am
god. things here ya eat the way the way the way the way the last thing the the you who moved out didn't move move. the the the mood to move out of the mud out of my life i was in the crowd a lineup of passionate party organizers get the hundred thousand patriots going
9:44 am
eventually the sponsors from libertarian curbs take to the studs to preach the gospel of free markets let me hear. the was not sound. this hell hath no fury like a tax me or ignore. i'm too good to see your freedom which would organization that believe that lower taxes less government and more freedom you can't people really don't you have. to give me. your easy didn't you read. at least. once nothing was. on the heart and so i never thought. it was just like those old campaigns against the back or regulation the groups weren't selling free markets they were selling freedom itself
9:45 am
and the tea party americans were buying it they came out here today for freedom. not to go out and get americans from all walks of life in their economic freedom more importantly than because. our freedoms having successfully steered protesters to revolt against the thai obama agenda in the i'm afraid i'm faced with to succeed with a coax it failed. to build a free market movement capable of staging a revolution at the ballot box to find out more i went on to cover as a budding fiscal conservative. my first stop was the training session for tea partiers held by the competitive price institute. what is the theme to the tea party what is the tea party about is it about just opposing this sort of posing and opposing this or is there an integrated be and that idea i submit to you in the idea i want to show you one today is the idea of the rights of man the basic issue
9:46 am
of status of the destruction of the rights of those who produce in the united states and the tea parties of course are the battleground. we are today's cousin or me we are the thin line between freedom and the status of spokeo they want to create freedom is a wonderful thing to fight for it's time for us to join the army and that's something we all wanted to do. in nashville i met up with a collection of libertarian groups crossing the country pitching internet tactics for free market ideals over two hundred years ago guys a group of people just like you did something extraordinary ordinary people doing extraordinary things they were activists just like you i truly believe that they were activists then we are activists now make no distinction about it so what we do
9:47 am
we become digital activists we identify the medium we learn the media we manipulate the media it was printing presses then it's the internet now that's where we influence the hearts and minds of our fellow citizens the tea party's got us running up hills america majority is trying to give you the tools the muskets right so. here's what i do i get on amazon i type in liberal books i go through and i say one star one star one star the flipside is you go to a conservative libertarian whatever go to their products and give them five stars ok so literally it is in the books i. put a star on i don't read so that's how it works ok there's places on this where you kids i promise you this where your kids get information rotten tomatoes flixster was a place where you can rate movies ok so when you type in movies on healthcare or documentaries on health care i don't want to go to come up i don't michael moore's to come up so i always give it bad ratings i spend about thirty minutes a day just so that's guerilla tactics if there's a place to comment place to rate right
9:48 am
a place to share information you have to do it that's how you control the online dialogue give our ideals a fighting chance the principles that i believe strongly in that the founders believe strongly in with the idea of individual liberty rule of law limits of government's free market system their correlations free market religious and personal freedom we lose the free market we will lose personal industry and probably fight for. it to be end of position and suddenly introduce ourselves to the. rest my camera for today and the lady sitting next to me and i'm just prying i don't blow my cover. i think it's a toss up and i'm twelve going to louisville i'm the pipes breath i'm having a lot of different crosswords my friends i'm friends and it's just to say you guys are amazing and bring on the second resolution.
9:49 am
on. joining the second american revolution. hundred. radical capitalist revolution was under why the tea party establishment officially adopted the mantra for the markets it was a stunning comeback for an ideology that seemingly lie in ruins after the mortgage crisis barely one year earlier the symbol of which was fatal reserve chairman and champion of free markets alan greenspan orbited missing at the regulation doesn't work you would had an ideology the free competitive markets are by far the on rival way to organize economies but if you found a flaw in the reality or in the model that i perceived is the critical
9:50 am
functioning structure of the pines how the world works or speak in other words you found that your is your view of the world your ideology was not right it was not working well so actually take party backed republican candidates and moved all over the country to contest the three thousand and ten elections promising to stop the energy tax repeal health care and reduce the size of government. well the koch's chipped in to support some true doesn't take the candidates as usual a real contribution was behind the scenes. in june at least resort in aspen colorado by hosting a secret strategy session with a network of wealthy donors and powerful allies including going back. to this letter from charles. june masing participants committed to an unprecedented level of support soon after americans for prosperity announced plans to spend
9:51 am
a staggering forty five million dollars on elections which they ran ads attacking proliferation of supporting the obama agenda. a bomber tried to hit back kucing at being a corporate front in more than a dozen speeches but if you're a battleground state right now you are being bombarded with negative ads every single day and nobody knows who's paying for these ads they got these names like americans for prosperity. in a test kinds known as citizens united supreme court which included two judges who had attended sacred. rule that corporations were free to anonymously invest as much as they wanted in front groups right i have a. republican operative seized upon the decision creating new groups and flooding the airwaves with panes of millions of dollars in ads for unknown. on the grassroots side i have paid just that off their buses launching their november is
9:52 am
coming campaign i use pay and freedom works also use their considerable budgets to try and model wants to take our siani identify your voters get them registered to vote bring about a vote that's it the tea party was ready to strike to give us our last chance to the last panel not the president no we're not here on a corner in north philadelphia we're doubt going to be about out here we have a point operational back up in the ninth morning or americans for prosperity we did not and i love that we have our people out there door knocking and we're standing here now and hear what we're going to that we don't like the way you don't want we don't like your beyond america we don't like your puppy and we're taking it back on november third. so this morning it is being called a g.o.p. sweep and a tea party title way in the biggest why found for either party since nineteen forty eight the new one hundred twelve congress will feature forty two party
9:53 am
members a lot of libertarian leaning individuals within the tea party movement especially when it comes to taxes and over regulations got to this agenda that is taking us in the long direction it's a message of. limits to trust a traditional government in france to be excessive government regulation in the. there's a new day now the republicans took control of the house in november two thousand and ten very anti government agenda in fact one of their agenda items is to you know take out four government agencies like the part of education part of energy of our yet when you have politicians elected who want to shut down the government it sets a pretty interesting tone for the debate. for me this newfound zeal for the koch's radical free market ideology is the real revolution of the tape party movement has
9:54 am
nothing to do with people and yield cos trains go by even flags will hold in protest of things but it is a revolution that has everything to it's of with hidden corporate agendas complicit media players season propagandists a highly coordinated network of free market groups and most of all a pair of brothers with a dream to create a privatized america the american dream of free enterprise capitalism is alive and well. and so what does the american dream a. virgin dream to be true one word freedom if anyone here can dream means defending our own life and our freedoms and liberties that had made this country great to me the american dream is to live in peace and prosperity and freedom and government under socialism is not a government afraid of. what about the freedom of individuals to make up their own
9:55 am
mind through reason and rational bikes what about the freedom to trust the grassroots movements such as that and not tools of the wealthy and what is the sky on which this is happened site that will strike american democracy. i think it's a serious threat to our democracy and i think people are mostly unaware of it not completely unaware of the threat they're very much a unaware of the front groups and aware of how their thoughts are being manipulated and how their actions are actually being manipulated in many cases. i think they're unaware that we are the largest that have a plutocracy in this country or at least an emerging one rather than democracy and i think that's because of the the rise of power and influence of corporations and the way that they've been able to use p.r. p.r. tactics and propaganda but it's
9:56 am
a good weapon in what they want we are drowning in property that are crowding out. and i'm not speaking figuratively i think it's threatening our lives it's gets cutting off our air it's making real democracy. all but impossible it has brought the planet to the point of. ecological destruction it's had no positive consequences whatsoever because it doesn't serve the people it serves other interests. i've come to believe more and more as i've been studying this this problem that the real currency. in democracy is honest information. that if you are on a mass scale able to pump out false information then
9:57 am
the whole democratic system kind of breaks up. and yet these people have a perfect right to do it and hide their involvement. and now you have very motivated people out across the country who are activists who are willing to fight for what they think is right for themselves but in fact is forwarding a corporate agenda that is to stop regulations and to stop taxes and they're not going to stop in two thousand and ten will continue through this pretty well the actions as the tea party has marched on to true thousand and twelve and the goal of taking out president obama and installing politicians who thought for the right to free markets my only message truth is to be careful what you wish for because you
9:58 am
just might get us was. was. was. hungry for the full six we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.
