african-americans that's right still time segments one search engine is taking the stance of the constant piracy websites we want to know is this really an issue that made its tech giant should be addressing. the government today on the issue of liberty live. lives that we. are. i think. either one well. we haven't got the shows there for keeping safe get ready because of the freedom.

they charge in here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture a. new web site which twenty four seven live streaming news tell us what to tell you about the ongoing financial hardship unlimited high quality videos for download. and stories you may never find mainstream. media so. maybe the political. posts aren't just. a guy's welcome to show itself on the i want to show it part of our desktop to

sound the topic now i want to hear audio just go on to the video response or to twitter first on the questions that we impose on you tube every monday and on thursday when the show long response is going to leave. all right it's time for tonight's jewel time award and tonight it actually goes to a previous winner oklahoma state representative sally her has a history of making offensive comments she's a die hard republican who doesn't like gays or islam and it barely she has a very low opinion of african-americans and working women her comments all started after lawmakers in oklahoma approved a ballot measure that would ban state agencies from using them affirmative action and hiring policies and sally kern believes that minorities earn less than white

people simply because they don't work as hard and they have less initiative she said quote we have a high percentage of blacks in prison and that's tragic but are they in prison just because they're black or because they don't want to study is hard in school i've taught school and i saw a lot of people of color who didn't study hard because they said the government would take care of them. oh sally yes there are a higher percentage of blacks in prison and that's due to a number of factors including the fact that our justice system does target them we've covered it on this program before the injustice in mandatory sentencing guidelines they do unfairly target african-americans that creates second class citizens who are disenfranchised who then can't get jobs you could also throw in some poverty levels the huge number of single family homes and then it all starts to make sense but i'm pretty sure that sally has never looked into any of those issues it would just carry her tiny little world view into pieces now after insult african-americans she decided turn on working women and she told the told the world

that women don't earn as much money as men because they quote tend to spend more time at home with their families and yes married women do spend more time at home because they are usually running a household but that's not a reason to pay them less most women still work forty hour weeks and then come home and then work for their family even single women with no families the old same jobs as men make less money and that and that's called discrimination and it's still very real and it's still very alive in the workplace but thank you sally for completely ignoring all those factors and saying the women's movement back a few decades but just to really make sure you guys get how hateful and how horrible this woman is let's play a clip for you what she had to say about gays living in the last year. ok you know they only pray shall share. your. show each. day and i am sure it

shares. is there anybody that this woman is not going to insult with her vile rhetoric nothing like a ridiculous quote from an elected official to let everybody know once again the racism is alive and well the united states as a. yesterday's burger b.s. wasn't for nothing and the scariest part of all that is that this woman was actually elected to office which means that unfortunately probably isn't the only one who feels this way that's why tonight's big award i mean truth time award goes to republican oklahoma state representative sally current. now this january google instance began censoring certain words or google began censoring certain words from google and that meaning that certain things don't automatically show up when you type in a few letters on the blacklist or certain bad words as well as bit torrent

something of the company associates with digital piracy and that was google's decision as a private company and they've also just repeated that move in russia where book publishers asked them to block certain sites and the u.s. government is currently working on legislation that would mandate it so that really the best way i receive music books movies you name it through government regulation or should it be left after the company or discuss it with me as much fraser senior vice president of government relations and industry relations of the recording industry association of america and eric schwartz founder and executive director of demand progress dot org john i want to thank you both for joining me tonight let's start with let's back try herb backtrack a little bit to january when google decided to start censoring certain words on google instead do you think that that is censorship for the company to be doing that in the first place you know i don't think if you censor illegal products or if you censor images of child pornography or you censor things that are

constitutionally illegal that's not censorship what it is is protecting not benefiting from criminal activity preventing others from using your service to benefit from criminal activity and not facilitating that particular type of crime and there are good business reasons to do it you want integrity you want legitimacy and there are good legal reasons to do it you don't want to be prosecuted yourself and you don't want to be in the middle of facilitating a crime that's occurring on the internet. all right how about you do you think that is a that shows that the company has integrity and that it's making a good move no i think it's a big mistake on google's purton it clearly is censorship it's one thing to say that certain types of speech should be illegal and shouldn't be protected it's another to say that without any trial without any sort of oversight we just go ahead tape is things out without a hearing or any sort of response are a unilateral decision from google or based on some complaints from some private companies. well that's i wonder is should google be doing it because

a private company complained then should google be doing it because the government complained to them and now the government if they have its way they want to they want to regulate that's going to mandate they company to do it well there really is a process that's that's put in place that's under the digital millennium copyright act and there are several safeguards and procedures to make sure that google gets the protections that it needs and when it receives a complaint from a cock or a donor there's valid proof that shows that it really is illegal and the copyright owners in big trouble if they do something and ask them to take something down it turns out not to be illegal so there are lots of safeguards in place they follow the law for all of the reasons that we mentioned earlier and they really don't do it now they don't just unilaterally decide we're not going to let people access this type of material they go through a pretty thorough process beforehand to make sure that they're not cutting people off to legitimate croat how about when the department of homeland security or ice accidentally sees or shut down eighty thousand one side and then put

a label on them saying that they engaged in child pornography i thought that was a pretty big mess up that clearly the safeguards whatever was in place there didn't work eighty thousand websites including people's personal businesses that had to have child pornographer as their label yet they did make a mistake they were i think that proves that perhaps there are the proper safeguards in place where the law requires that they investigate in a certain manner and in enforcing the law when they should have targeted a subdomain that had the images of child pornography on it instead they they went up one level and instead of getting the stuff i mean they got the real that now they corrected it very quickly everything was back up in two days and forcing isn't perfect but you also don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater mistakes are going to be made in force when they're wrong and you can be rectified very quickly but they say that we should let people sell material illegally and we should let people show images of child pornography and naked business out of it where us consumers are accessing it and people are making money off of it because there are going to be some mistakes and enforcement that are missed. makes you know

that you don't really balance out areas like this is a constant conflation between the people who are actually committing the crimes and people like google who are simply telling people about websites that are on the internet you know the r.w. wants to sue people who are committing crimes have a fair trial go through all the processes and all the laws about that and have them decided whether they're guilty or innocent that's one thing but to say that even before any of those trials happened people should not even be able to talk about it to be able to link to those web sites that are already on the internet that's a totally different story and that's where it starts trampling on our first amendment rights i mean should i be able to say that you can get copyrighted material on bit torrent of course i think that's protected speech now if you are a double a wants to go and shut down the websites that do that that's fine and they should stop everyone else from trying to talk about it it's a very good point about distinguishing between the illegal material itself and other parts of the site that needle discussion groups about the material one really is free speech the other is just selling counterfeit or illegal products or showing illegal images and the two have to be separate in the legislation that's pending

right now so i think the process a court process where exactly what you're talking about would happen a federal judge would look at the evidence and look at the material and they would say in our view this either is illegal or it isn't illegal and they would have all the tools of civil procedure to help them to make that know that it would be a non adversarial court process the other side wouldn't get a chance to respond instead it would be the government telling to the judge with all the arguments that the government usually has which have we seen are constantly mistaken poll with their riddled with errors because they don't really understand what they're doing and the other side doesn't get a chance to respond until one day they wake up and their website is missing. that's a complaint about the standard of probable cause in the constitution itself that's a much bigger argument if you believe that probable cause for criminal activity should be enough to temporarily stop damage while the court continues on a process with an adversarial. process on the other side showing up which is exactly what happens that's the way that it works if you disagree with it it's a matter. each which has

a higher standard out of the first and then let's go let's internationalize this right because of course part of the problem is that all these websites are based in the us some of them are based internationally the u.s. is now trying to block websites that aren't based within the u.s. if you look at russia you have the case where it was in google but it was the russian search engine that said none of these laws apply to us so how does all that factor in most of the state junkies to the u.s. and the way that you would do it in the physical world is if somebody went outside the u.s. and they were stealing american products and trying to export them back into the country you would go get an exclusion order and you would say these people should not be allowed to take stolen american property and sell it back in the u.s. and so this is an inversion of an exclusion order saying it doesn't affect the rest of the world it only affects america but inside america we're not going to allow people to sell stolen american for which the man think we're not going to solve the problem of copyright infringement other people are still going to be able to go out there and download and stream music books movies whatever it's just us americans

that can't do it or do you think. it's ridiculous what mitch wants to do is really architect the internet to prevent a couple people from using copyrighted material and the fact is we should keep the problem in perspective his industry is five hundred ths of one percent of u.s. g.d.p. apple could buy it with cash if they just how or why around the google founders could buy it with their spare money they have the idea that we should we architect the whole internet should stop these engines of innovation that have made america so great just so the problem is failing business model seems ridiculous this logjam plea i got to wrap it up going to forge ahead of time but it's a debate i think it's going to keep going we'll see if congress actually gets anywhere today with this legislation thank you both for joining us tonight thanks. all right it's time for show and tell on tonight's program so let's take a look at what you guys answered last time we asked you what you thought about the

i.m.f. report that china was going to overtake the u.s. economy in just five years so we're going to go to our g. producer patrice in a sense for what your answers were. i don't know if you can tell or not but i'm from new jersey surrounding the area that i grew up in were a lot of manufacturing businesses people either own they ran service businesses from the income that these factories grow up in by making something in america so over the years these factories and other businesses across america shut down and those people lost the jobs they were counting on and those free trade bills that the government said would help american workers only seemed to help wall street and now it all seems to be catching up to us so when the i.m.f. said get ready because china is about to surpass the u.s. as the world's largest economy we wanted to know if you thought america could deal with being called number two tiger well tweeted the u.s. is definitely not ready our fragile egos will shatter and many will be lost in

uncertain about their place in the world she told us on facebook america will never admit to being number two and maybe even number three if india keeps coming on strong well let's not rush it cheryl then there's tommy who told us even if the us is surpassed in anything americans will still think they are number one in everything i'm not sure that's the case anymore and lastly in our told us will never be number two that's just another lie well jake i hate to tell you but it's true it does look like china is going to take the number one slot in the global economy so we better get used to hearing it number two may just be the best we can do for now if you have a comment we want it right here. thanks to trees and here's our next topic for you at home we just finished telling you how google is stepping in when it comes to internet privacy by removing sites from search results is that really an issue that

a major search engine should be getting involved in let us know what you think should search engines be censoring private sites from their own results you can respond to us on facebook twitter and you tube and. it was a response it just might make it on air and we're taking a break but coming up the u.s. military is eager to prove that they're not torturing bradley manning look around this p.r. stunt by the military when we return and at royal wedding overlooking the sea the networks are trying to force us to care about william and kate walk down the aisle i'd much rather get a comedian's take on the whole issue so we'll have some fun with walk up blogger and from the audience there of any concept after the break. let's not forget that we sat in a park right. on the well. we never got the look says

they're going to keep him safe get ready because the freedom. they charge in here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture. new web site which twenty four seven live streaming news towns like to do about the ongoing financial hardship unlimited free high quality videos for download.

and stories never mainstream news. and so. posts on our team don't just say. hey guys welcome michel ancel on the alona show we've heard what our guests not to say on the topic now i want to hear from our audience is going to use you to video respond or to twitter their thought of the question that we impose on you tube every monday and on thursday when the show long responses we let your voice. i'd like to take a little moment to discuss an issue that i think you all know i'm very passionate about and i've spoken about at length on this program and that would be the an ethical treatment of p.f.c. bradley manning the after several months of keeping the army private in frankly

disgusting conditions at quantico the government is decided to move manning to a new facility and fort leavenworth kansas and a doing so the military has also decided to present the case of manning to the public and completely revamped manner after denying access to his wallet quantico to un official and representative dennis city which amongst others the army is now opening their arms inviting the media outlets to take on the tour of his new home fort leavenworth all in efforts to prove that manning really is being treated well and yes here we'll have more access to a communal area have access to the library to get to dine with other inmates but let's not allow all of that to distract us from what's already been done to him manning is currently being held on almost two dozen charges including aiding the enemy which could be punishable with a life sentence or possibly even the penalty let's also not forget that he was held in solitary confinement forces make it all about ever being convicted of any crime

and yet the president also let us know last week that he already thinks manning's guilty anyway so i think that that means we can has a fair trial. so i would question to ask the military the obama administration do you really think that moving a man into a different personality is going to make people forget how you treated them like want to go after making him suffer through twenty three hours a day solitary confinement being forced to strip naked you think that transferring him to a new facility is just going to make it all go away if you look at those who have followed this case from the very beginning they're not the type to conveniently forget including myself media tour or not we will continue to highlight this case to expose the obama administration for who they really are. administration whose promise to bring transparency in the rule of law and instead has gone after whistleblowers has placed bradley manning into conditions equal to torture without giving him a trial oh and by the way everybody knows that a media tour is

a load of crap they parade of bunch of pre-selected reporters through specific parts of the facility they say things like see this place is really nice bradley likes it just fine wake up and smell the coffee if anything this is just a lateral move the oso complex case around the army private and people won't stop her man until they get some real answers ones that can't be provided with a white washed media tour. now our next guest hasn't been on our program in a really long time and we missed her dearly so considering that there is a huge wedding going on the dominating the news cycle as well as lindsay lohan going to jail you know the really important stuff in this world that matters oh i think her return couldn't be more adequately timed joining me from our studio in new york is wonkette blogger and comedian sarah but across the sarah so nice to have you back on the program we've missed you thank you i've missed you should have been traveling a lot and i just i'm really excited to talk about the most important marriage of

two rich white people for well i mean can you tell me can you give me one reason aside for you know perhaps maybe that princess fantasy that we all have those little girls and wanting to see the big dress this could be one reason aside from that why i should care. all because everyone who's going to be a part of this wedding is basically a poster child for skin cancer it's the palest wedding i think that's ever taken place you've got at least one person in that marriage who is woefully inbred documented to such seems like a real nice kid but lord love a marine that gene pool is just a messy messy cesspool i can't middleton catherine middleton i think probably will be bringing some fresh genes into the mix so that's very important because eventually the windsors just aren't going to have the correct number of toes

anymore so i guess your must some evolutionary darwinian perspective maybe you should be intrigued by this that is probably the most interesting thing that i've heard about the way you know for weeks ever maybe i love that take you know since you started talking about the genes the i do want to show you a clip here so we can really get a chance to look at what will the dad look like back in the eighty's and i think we all know what he looks like now so let's let's play it for you. what do you say about his moves. i'm sorry i thought this was the alone a show not the turn sarah on show. sex machine.

that was from the eighty's too but you know i think to bring up a good point too with the whole kate middleton being thrown in the makes at least this time around we are living in two thousand and eleven she is not to be a virgin when she gets married to the prince anymore we know her and will have been voting for years i think that luckily that we can take a little you know breath of fresh air here that the royals are moving on into the twenty first century but let me just ask you because the media if you've been watching has devoted so much attention to this right networks have sent entire teams over and i mean these morning joe has been there all week they're there doing news stories or doing their entire program from there every single morning but if you look at a recent poll from the new york times and c.b.s. only thinks percent of americans say they actually have been following this aren't we in a recession are all the cable networks strapped for cash right now after covering the arab spring and the japan earthquake and nuclear disaster and tsunami why the

waiting. yes but that all pales in comparison to getting to see a skinny pretty white girl in a white dress. sorry also did you know that there are no wars going on to cover so they just have to it's like there are all these people just sitting around going foreign correspondent lot of my going to cover what is my assigning editor going to send me to do because there's no important wars happening that really ought to be covered oh i'll go to a wedding so that's good that's great that's making our populace smarter maybe they're trying to reignite the revolutionary war you know a little a little crap on the brits all they're there now i just want to segue to one more story lindsay lohan we all know she's a train wreck we all enjoyed watching it she have to do community service as well as going to jail for hundred twenty days i listen to what she wants to do she says she can teach acting classes to the homeless. that's what homeless people really

need it. is she going to teach them to act like they have home because that would be fine. i did take it over i mean if you're homeless you probably need i don't know a bad pillow you probably need a blanket you need some shoes you need some food and you know lindsey lowe hand is just going to grace you with her wonderful talent and your acting classes can thirty can somebody please explain about hollywood mentality to me of why they think that back ok. yeah i think that what these people need to do rather than have all those things that you said is just sit in a circle and do improv games and talk about their feelings and then pretend they didn't you can pretend to be happy and pretend to be said that that would probably be fun for everybody she is awesome can we get on your show please now. i will be making sure the producers send out a request tonight and maybe you know thank you maybe she can teach me how to act
