hey guys welcome michel ancel on the alone a show we've heard with our guests not to say on the topic now we want to hear from our audience just go on to you tube the video response or the twitter for part of the questions and we've posted on you tube every monday and on thursday to show your responses we've played your voice. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then he did something else

here so you saw the part of it and realized everything you just don't. think. all right it's time for tonight's tool time award and tonight it goes to a man who i'd say is the pain of islamophobia and no it's not terry jones he's just an idiot in fact it's frank gaffney a conspiracy theorist and founder of the center for security policy who's now come forward with a set of ridiculous claims but this time he's targeting the most well known member of the o.t. think back to when pastor terry jones oversaw the burning of the koran this march he went ahead with it even after canceling his plans the first time around after several members of the g.o.p.

begged and pleaded with him to reconsider for sake of our wars abroad so after the warring really did take place we saw violent protests break out in the afghan city of mazar e sharif or u.n. workers lost their lives i one of the people who came out strongly against the book burning was general david petraeus and all that hateful intolerance extremely disrespectful and condemned it in the strongest manner possible and that seems like a logical response to a hateful action right now for a gapper he doesn't think so and back to normal piri as to why betray us didn't want the muslim holy book aren't. jury duty for your solution. for this jury.

is. to. yes according to gaffney petraeus is being submissive towards sharia law the codes followed by muslims and oh my god if that's true that means a wee disappointed which raises the head of the cia so now it's all becoming clear we now know the grand plan we already knew that obama was a muslim now he's brainwashed petraeus the sharia law and he's promoted him to be top spoke really gaffney you can't think of a more realistic option like hey maybe we should respect muslims in their holy book considering we're in port of five wars in muslim countries considering that we're supposed to have the freedom of religion in this country so maybe we should support people who were in the koran and are intolerant bigots and yes it's true betrays has spent lots of time in afghanistan and keeping the us military mission in mind he also has to respect the local community and their religion which might happen to also include sharia law now next gaffney's probably going to come up you know

accusing patrol as of praying with muslims especially after seeing an image of portrays interacting with locals like this one so holy hell the authorities portray us is now under the influence of shari'a obviously gaffney is just too dumb to understand winning hearts and minds essential to our military strategy abroad and turns it into an outlandish conspiracy theory now gaffney has a string of famous islamophobia conspiracies like accusing c. pack of coming under the influence of the muslim brotherhood that one is out there this comment about petraeus being brainwashed by sharia law i think might take the . crazy so poor is outrageous accusations towards betrayal and toward islam in general frank gaffney is tonight's told time winner. and now this week has borne humiliation after humiliation of the american people first the president of united states caved to a group of racist lunatics and released his long form birth certificate proving he was in fact as everybody already knew

a citizen of the united states and if that alone wasn't enough of a blow to america the bombshell was dropped that superman the most famous of superhero known to man is going to sing his u.s. citizenship and issue number nine hundred about action comics so as you can imagine some people out there are known as you happy about it let's go to break down for some details. superman is renouncing his american citizenship as a way to protect americans and better serve all of mankind and many people on the right are outraged so i am proud to unveil the new conservative alternative to superman the red statesman as you can see he does not have all the five eps so you know we straight to save you from a burning building but only if you can first prove you're an american citizen and that you're not on any terrorist watch list and he's not a communist if he does save your life it costs a lot it's not going to charity like superman has he been but his only work some people who have never tasted pork make it easier for him to put muslims also makes

him kind of dangerous to jews into terry ends but he's not crazy about them either the important thing is how like superman the red statesman loves america he just hates government the white house goes to the senate part of the house have the judges all the unions the united nations point parenthood gays atheists evolution change and donald trump even fictional republicans think trump is a joke. thanks break we'll have more on that story during happy hour now just yesterday we told you how bradley manning the army private suspected of leaking private documents to wiki leaks has been transferred to a new facility which has now become available to the media meanwhile the co-founder of the web site julian assange is still in england facing his own uncertain future r.t.r. the rare opportunity to sit down with the sun to give us a take on events of his upcoming trial and all the greater issue of transparency so

as i explained to r.t. is laura and it has massive leaks which have already been revealed by wiki leaks are just the tip of the iceberg and the only begin to scratch the surface of how much is out there but we don't know about. if we look at our work on the last. twelve months think about it so all the stories that have come out actually happened in the world before two thousand and ten and people didn't know about it so what is it that we don't know about now if there's an enormous human there we don't know about until much much later on it exists there right now you know release of diplomatic cables we only released. secret classified confidential material we didn't have any top secret cables the really embarrassing stuff the really serious stuff wasn't in our collection to release but it is to happen so what is it. people need to not be comfortable.

what they receive from me from the media. is all that is happening the united states is trying to get up next additional case let me can you answer that the united kingdom when stickley but the various levels once they keep a good relationship with states and so it's a u.k. was to reject the us extradition order that would pose terrible problems to any country which appears to be harboring. trying to conduct its. faces political presence if the united kingdom. does attempts to excite me to the united states then it faces a difficult position politically which is the bulk of the people who clean and support us. now watch he appreciates this rare opportunity to speak with

a weekly expound on the significance of government transparency the rest of the world has been hooked on a much more lighthearted issue which brings us to our next story. it finally happened today prince william and kate middleton got married and it was a big glorious excessive affair and you can be happy the two young people that are in love got married i know there are a lot of people who woke up at six am here on the east coast just to watch the entire event go down but the problem is if you turned on your t.v. this morning trying to get some other news maybe real news to see how the wars in libya afghanistan or iraq are panning out or to see what's happening in syria or check on the case of bradley manning well the you are completely out of luck there wasn't a hard hitting news channel you could turn to they didn't succumb to or helped create or awaiting media so are they just trying to force us to care or are they just conveniently trying to distract us from the fact that war in which he leaks in poverty those are the stories that they wouldn't be covering anyway discuss this

with me is ben cohen editor of the daily banter ben thanks so much for being here so i'm sort of ok first of all before we get to the serious business let's both confess our sins i watched a few clips of their a wedding this morning to you oh yes i was on a flight from l.a. to go to more and longer with a little watch it came out there it was a big crowd of some three or seven i mean it's nice right for a nice occasion it is beautiful like i said she looks grades it's a love story who doesn't like that and of course there's an audience for it but i just don't understand why it's not maybe just or a.b.c. that's covering it how come these supposed hard hitting news channels why does c.n.n. why does m.s.m. d c devote every single bit of the morning to covering the writing i think the truth is that this is. emblematic of a corporate media system where you have profit costs where they know people who run these two. they know that this is going to generate you know five six times the

view that the war in afghanistan with libya bradley manning or you know to the other stuff that's going on in the world. this case audiences this gets numbers so that's where you can see why i think that is the i mean do you think that as a peoples of the day we just don't know enough already because the media doesn't provide enough information about bradley manning a week and weeks of the wars abroad so that people just kind of let a trail off and they don't ever end up getting clued into the story or do people honestly just not like hearing about bad news and wars and the sad reality is what's going on i think is what a pleasure purchase which you know it's like sugar and sugar and we're kind of. resources back in the day and now we have it on top that's why you have an obesity epidemic because people like sugar and for so they can as they can have as much of it is that one with twenty four seven media in the incident you can have twenty

four seven coverage of celebrity gossip which is you know it's funny it's a thing for if it's hard to admit is fifteen fifteen maybe it's a maximum but you've got some people who just keep pressing the precious originally there were more and more and more generous source of money so they put it on that's what we see so we're living in a brave new world essentially we've already we've already gotten there but let's just imagine what it all the media organizations would have devoted the thousands of reporters and i mean literally thousands of reporters that were in london covering this royal wedding and they would have brought them to japan or to live or to afghanistan or to iraq then do you think that you would pay attention more if it was just forced on you if it was there and you couldn't escape it the way that i'm sorry we couldn't escape the royal wedding this morning there is no where you could turn where was an interface with us what route journalism should be about it should be about telling people facts that they don't necessarily want to hear facts they don't want to hear about their own government. that's the times when he's going to that's what we should be hearing. newsmedia but when you have

a for profit system. and you can make more money out of having a debate about what dress ok it's going to wear then that's what you're going to see it's a reality more than corporate you know where people suspect that if you have corporate news channels and you only go to the internet i guess you can always go to our team largely alone or show of course you can always go to see differently but you have an explosion of blogs and independent publishers networks that are rising. and saying that this is enough is enough and we can publish ourselves now we have the internet which is one of the. most amazing tool was ever given to a human calling to disperse information and you have this massive explosion of over original content of original reporting and look people are being paid money to do this is well they're doing it for free because they're so sick of this kind of stuff and they see this celebrity gossip so let's talk about what we just saw julius on that you know wiki leaks really has just scratched the tip of iceberg

here are talking about the treasure trove of information that's out there. you know government actions that will never know about do you think that the government's now have deterred whistleblowers and you think they scare them enough with the case of waking leaks or is it doing the opposite you think that we're going to see my websites like it or you going to see more websites like you can't mess with the internet it's too big there's too many people too much power the power has completely shifted you know you have the internet in a completely open access you're going to see a lot more of this kind of stuff but nothing because it would scare the treatment of probably nothing is it's a sign of how scared they are of this new world that we're entering all of publishing and organizations like it expects to sprout up anywhere anytime from any place i've been i thank you very much for joining us tonight go you know wills and kate middleton congratulation. and i'm happy for that let's get back to what really

matters and we work thank you. and i just had my friday fireside bright fireside friday and that no friday would be complete without a happy hour i joined my producer jenny churchill and reasons my point with richard . let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime in britain. i think either one of the well. we never got the book says they're going to keep him safe get ready because of the freedom.

a show we've heard with our guests not to say on the topic now we want to hear our audience just go on you tube the video response or the twitter profile of the questions that we post on you tube every monday and on thursday the show your responses later. to tonight's. your. i got to admit this week was this week for me it's one where a really ugly facet of american culture was thrown at us it was rubbed in our faces again and it would be wrong to say that it resurfaced you know it's something that never actually goes away but it's something that you try to fight against something the you try to rise against and yet instead this week racism prejudice fear hate the ugliness that's what want and it set us all back and it brought us

all down and we know that burger isn't isn't really about questioning whether the president of the united states was born in this country or not it's not about a document or a signature or legal fees or some massive cover up you know it's a mask for fear and a deep discomfort of the lies within certain americans towards the other towards a black man holding the highest political office in the country if you'll forgive the garage obama's election was historic the idea that a black man could even become president was something that millions of americans never see and it's odd too because if you look back to that election at that point people were questioning whether he was black enough they were saying well as mothers why he's harvard educated he's an elite that real minorities can't connect with. but it doesn't matter where he went to school or where he grew up it doesn't change the simple fact that he also has to deal with racism on

a daily basis but even after being elected to be the president he still has something to prove he has to show his papers to be legitimate to be a real citizen to show that he's a worthy of being accepted by you know i can't even imagine what that must have felt like for him to have to give it to release that long form birth certificate to hope that that would quell this made up controversy and the fact that people like donald trump gets a trouncing around acting like it's their white right to have these genuine concerns that's disgusting it's disrespectful and it really makes me sick to my stomach and you know that the brothers aren't satisfied you know they'll never be dissuading to a latino or asian or an indian president is elected and we're going to see this all over again but if you choose to deny that turned a blind eye and reject that notion then you're fooling yourself then you're allowing that fear and prejudice and racism and hatred to persist unchallenged and

i'm truly sorry that barack obama has to deal with this let's get back to judging the president on his policies on his character which is reflected in his policies on his promises kept and broken and not a color of his. already it's friday it's time for happy hour and joining me for happy hour tonight is argue producer jenny churchill and sadly i think possibly for the last time here in our studio is michael boyd has senior editor of reason magazine or reason dot com michael is moving on from washington because it's. really you're just not a patriot anymore you know you know or you have that in common with superman s.f. and also the current record or all because it doesn't arms right now because

superman is apparently giving up his american citizenship in an upcoming edition and naturally i mean republicans can't realize that it's just a comic book so they're up in arms and they think that this is just treasonous and . i'm a little confused on why it took this for them to be up in arms because i've been thinking about it and how does superman have citizenship anyways i'm pretty sure he's an alien you started out that he's an are you here are the things that you know you're right there i don't know i'm just using you but he is from a different from mine and right kryptonite is not the substance or the obvious but you know i don't know i don't know much about superman i've seen a few of his movies and i know. it was played by. you know him talking yeah yeah yeah. we know that's i don't know and i didn't know he was american which shows maybe that i'm not american i'm not patriotic enough but why and this is something that i haven't seen the script and then why is he

renounced his citizenship what is the what is the sort of not any has the back story here that apparently he was silently protesting in iran and then iranians took that as a sign that clear ation of laurie was a declaration of war for my very good so now he's refusing and she you know she did . say that i don't want to rush to do america's bidding oh yes right i want to be the entire world superhero who are republican just ahead of that we need to move i mean the republicans want to be in this in a different way or conservatives they could say that superman is critiquing obama's policies because of the green revolution by standing up for the right or something stupid like that or they could realize that it's a comic book it's another possibility and maybe move on to things like my dad or i just don't like that and we can all take solace in the fact that iran is still the bad guy in the scenario i mean we cannot. but it's never going to happen. let's move on to a story out of the u.k.

whatever royal wedding crap and stuff we have to talk about the english ban of this thing that seems to be coming up more and more often where rich and famous people get to get gag orders so that stories about and can't come up including you know affairs sexual transgression every want to call it thirty actors and football players and one injections recently the formula one president what a ruling that is privacy was violated when they reported on his nazi themed yes party incidentally can i point out his father was the president or the head of the professional secret it was true oswald mosley's was his head but he's angry that is what he actually gets so you can't really change you if it's obvious that he was stopped you over reporting on is not the theme sex party you know what if we had that in america what would tyrone woods look like now you know well you know look it hasn't stopped any of them we know about all these things the latest one is andrew marr who is a political commentator and the shocking figure back there so he was trying to

cover up a sexual transgression i was i was shocked that andrew margaret was you know cheating on his wife because he's untrue bar and i don't know if you've seen that he looks like he's from dumbledore come come on don't be cruel and he deserves it he was trying to prevent us from forming their about his sexual terms of persons and i need to know about these things but it is the british tabloid industry so it you know doesn't succeed where you would see that going on here and why i think we are just human speech think some really really big differences so one would be the freedom of speech the second would be that the tabloids are a lot lot more harsh i mean they're really really intense and then they're using a law that was put into place in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight and i think it might have a little bit to do with. it. i'm not sure. i'm not sure this is sort of providence of the law but you know look i mean the truth of the matter is is that the english do not have a sort of freedom of speech kind of thing there was

a kind i mean i'm sure you know that somebody must have reported on this the guy that was arrested for performing kung fu fighting the other day to cheer her up and i didn't hear about it because i trashed the hate crime is actually a true story three people who were arrested today because they wanted to protest the royal wedding because they are protesting capitalism you know these here. they are you sure it wasn't a monarchy they were certain i know that's why i didn't get as they are protesting the monarchy by protesting capitalism that's why they got arrested protesters and one more story ok we have tonight is a video about piracy piracy is a big deal obviously the government thinks so but this is how they try to make you feel bad about it. if you take these movies this nice woman right here loses her job or yeah these are illegally downloading movies because the bad people like her are losing their jobs making this so literal i use is really you know there's a consequence to all this stuff i'm going to take you on yeah because you have no

soul. because you have no do you think that's actually going to work on anybody that kind of guilt i will never pirate a movie ever again ever no i mean this is the most ridiculous thing i've ever seen first of all let's be clear here i think that if you steal that movie the person who suffers are probably the production companies that are making millions and actors and actresses that are making millions and if not shame on them if this boom operator is getting laid off all they're raking it in are fewer movies being made now you know fifteen years ago than for these guys and woman is being paid as the movie is being produced i mean i should request you're hearing maybe you're being made so you're right i mean people that are being hurt by this if anyone is being hurt by this and they don't of course marshal any evidence because that would require some sort of deep thought and something more than thirty and thirty seconds of like a guilt explosion that's going to stop you know downloading you know nine hundred seventy six michael caine movies because i just saw this i use you know video i

don't buy drugs where if you are movies are being made i'm pretty positive that you are good movies are being you know these days i don't know maybe they're correlations you know yes i mean it really is kind of sad because they're trying to guilt you into not doing something because they can't convince you otherwise and i found that usually when people don't have an argument you're going to buy they just try to make you feel bad and look at it if this goes any way towards stopping the production of things like the fast and the furious five and i'm going to start actually start going about it now ok because i wrote away right away or actually by the more bad movie you know you fire it maybe there you go that's girls and i was connecting ok good i just want to thank you guys. friday that's a very nice show thanks for to me and make me come back on monday michelle alexander author of the book the new jim crow will be on our show the state of the u.s. correctional system and meantime don't forget to become a fan of the a lot of show on facebook and follow us on twitter and if you missed any of nights
