all right it's time for tonight's tool time award and it goes to the young luke russert over and d.c. former sports radio host turned all star political correspondent for m.s.n. b.c. now when news of the osama bin laden story broke luke was tweeting up a storm and he was still tweeting about the story yesterday what accounts about what happened inside this compound housing bin ladin began to get a little bit murky if you're is being who has been calling for these attacks living in this million dollar plus living. in an area that is far removed from the front hiding behind women who were put in front of him as a shield i think it really just speaks to just tell false his narrative has been over the years. now when brennan said that osama bin laden used his wife as a shield that said twitter into a tizzy luke russert tweeted the following he said it is been a lot in using his wife as a human shield really surprising let's not forget how poorly women are treated in

much of the arab world. right luke all arabs are so awful to their wives and hate women so much that they regularly use them as human shields so this should totally not surprise you look who cares or osama bin laden is a terrorist who has killed thousands of people and if he used his wife as a human shield which by the way he didn't it would probably because he's an evil terrorist with no regard for human life not because that's what all two hundred fifty million people in the arab world would do but luke we know you're young but let's give you a quick lesson you probably shouldn't ascribe one man's evil to an entire region of the world with over two hundred fifty million people like i just say you also should understand the not all arabs hate women yes they have a different culture a very different culture but then let's focus on the individual countries the obstacles they pose towards women rights not act like they all use women as human shields on the regular it's just another example of the total lack of understanding

by the american media about the culture of some of the countries that we occupy now back to the original premise of luke's shockingly ignorant tweet the military and the white house have since walked back to reports that osama's wife was used as shields which isn't really a shock this military has a very rich history of fudging on some of the details anyone remember the pat tillman or just the lynch stories tillman was a pro football player who walked away from an n.f.l. career to join the army he served several tours in combat as an army ranger and was killed in the mountains of afghanistan in april of two thousand and four and first the army reported he was killed by enemy fire turns out i was alive he died from friendly fire in fact the army knew that he died from friendly fire but it was all covered up and a major p.r. stunt then there's also the jessica lynch story she was captured by iraqi forces in march of two thousand and three and later freed by special ops forces about

a week later and lynch was the first successful rescue of an american p.o.w. since world war two and the first ever of a woman so the pentagon propaganda machine loved this story so much that they created an image of a soldier who fought back against her attackers. turns out she was unconscious when she was captured in her truck accident when her unit was ambushed now tillman's family and jessica lynch's family finally had to come out and tell the public the truth but it wasn't the u.s. military that did it so search maybe you should learn from these stories don't believe everything that the u.s. military is telling you at least not the original story and don't make ignorant comments about one of the largest relations in the world so that's why you are tonight's tool time later. now imagine this scene forty years ago thirty thousand protesters came to washington with a goal of shutting down the government and the vietnam war it was a scene unlike anything you'd see today and our scale and for remembers this

historic thing gets perspective from those who were there. washington d.c. . may third one thousand nine hundred seventy one more than two hundred thousand protesters and veterans converge in the capital to demand an end to the war in vietnam the idea was to shut the city down because the war would stop and the only way to stop the war was to was to stop the government and that was the slogan of the demonstration and that was by putting their bodies on the road and blocking traffic at the back or was there with his camera rolling i mean what haste circle look like i'm a thirty nine hundred seventy one we're back in seventy one you know a lot of the people were staying around to answer you know actually i was living there off of new hampshire and st and so it was just a block or two to be here and they were just thousands of people that we just converged and then we would disappear back in for spaces and we knew the turf and

we knew the alleyway so but the spite that i mean more than i think on that day more than thirteen thousand people were arrested it was the largest arrest in the history probably in one day. in the united states. police used tear gas in clubs to disperse protesters then president richard nixon called in the military robert klotz was a police captain a k. and later the eighty second airborne came in and helicopter. and i was assigned as allies on with the commanding general of the eighty second airborne and paratroopers landed at the national monument the protesters wouldn't back down people are trying everything to end the war and nothing would end it and so this was like one of the last ditch efforts and in a sense it was almost like an indian tribal sort of like you know the image of may

day was sitting bull and that's an incident is you know part. a massacre so for us it was at last stand the last stand of dignity you know. trying to end the war. and it's and we willing to and then people who are willing to you know prepare lives on the line to do that. by eight am on may third police had arrested more than two thousand people we had made plans as to where we were going to keep prisoners when they were arrested that your line arena was one place the redskin practice field which was down by our of a stadium was another there was several places where you could put a lot of people and that's where they were taken. when they were arrested by the end of the day more than seven thousand had been arrested the largest number of arrests in u.s. history what was the spirit like and it was incredible i mean you can see when the

police wade into the crowd of the justice department with their sticks and their mason and then from that you know someone starts dancing and then all of a sudden everyone is standing everyone standing together and it was the same spirit here where they had incarcerated people where they threw them in a practice field like this you know people had to sort through their own deal with finding food and keeping warm and and keeping spirits up and from that people went back to their homes as went back to their communities and and spread out around them and i was kind of like the legacy of a. whole experience it was the last big antiwar demonstration but it's it was the beginning of the end of the war. both plots and backers say they haven't seen the magnitude of protests and pressure brought to bear on government since made it despite america's decade long war in

afghanistan and eight year presence in iraq i don't know where. there it has to do with an all volunteer army were people not being. drafted into the service nowadays that there are less people affected by those wars that were affected by the previous wars in afghanistan. i don't know but you just you're not getting the numbers. that we used to get for those. forty years ago protesters filled the stats of the lincoln memorial church on the nassau mall if they can if in administrating to task and question the legitimacy of the u.s. war in vietnam but the words in iraq and afghanistan continue people are now in the streets here in washington like they used to be killing ford artsy washington d.c. . so forty years ago at least thirty thousand people came out to protest and

thousands were arrested to end the war in vietnam but how do you explain that sense of those tens of thousands today who are fighting not one war but two officially and we have shadow wars in yemen in pakistan i don't laughably named humanitarian intervention in libya and when our country is fourteen trillion dollars in debt and the wealth gap is the largest it's ever been with corporations raking in record profits as well as executives making record bonuses and pay where are the protesters now joining me is because of us have disease who works on more torture and accountability and related issues with come home america dot us and on economic issues it's our economy dot us kevin thanks so much for joining us tonight. kevin tell me do you think that we see less political activism today than we did a few decades ago. i mean we see less close there is a new sorter in the bush administration i mean during the run up to the iraq war we had mass demonstrations opposing the war. the war from your agree to the two

dozen six election. protests in the capital we disrupted your q.b. the congress and we got very close to undermining funding for the war. and work we're seeing now is that it is a redeveloping of a culture of resistance you go back to last december and outside the white house or hundred thirty two veterans and their allies were arrested approach protests in the war last march one hundred sixty were recent protests in. where you see bradley manning i support him astray she's in a mass rallies and now it's in wisconsin michigan and ohio and indiana and i see i see events around the country on almost every issue that's going on and it's our current our u.s. you can see a couple of examples of protests about the bankers not paying or paying taxes this year and some of these protests are large and some are small and i think one reason they're small is because as a lot of confusion about president obama there are a lot of people who hope that president obama would actually be

a change agent instead he's been a status quo agent you know keeping corporate power stronger keep the wall street stronger and really holding back where people need would have been the says is that people are and people are confused where there are a lot of peace activists or democrats and a lot of protests the president a lot of worker advocates are unions who allow democratic party i think is a connection of their character is probably the greatest hurdle we face in china and your people active again so what do you do about that people are too scared to protest against their political party that i design or see the understand how there can be a culture of activism protests and any change that actually comes about i mean are people too i don't know if the correct word is lazy or are they really hopeful that it can be up to one man to change everything. well you know if you look at the history of change it's always been a minority of people who make change happen going back the american revolution i

mean it was not a majority of americans even favored in the great britain look at the civil rights movement it was not even majority of african-americans who are out in the streets protesting against a very of our of police tactics so the most effective protest in the civil rights era were slow ones and i think this it is a lunch counters were here full of people were able to raise issues and couldn't really create conflicts that resolved things or rosa parks or a city under fire from a bus one person motorist it was of course there were mass protests as well like the i have a dream speech in washington d.c. that kind of came later and so i think we're now were people who cared are economic justice people who care about torture accountability and war need to hear active and do if they can and build this momentum up i see it happening i see it happening on every issue as housing foreclosure bankers not doing your taxes so meanwhile you are sure wealthier by peace torture accountability people are getting active i see protests every day or carry around this country it really is

a culture which is next in the kind of formation stage but it's growing quickly so if it does exist around the country that's something that you see every day let's talk about some of the reasons why we all as a fairly see it on our mainstream media you know very often as you mentioned there will be anti-war protests and we'll see veterans who come out in front of the white house who get arrested will see people protesting for bradley manning but that's not what you see on your cable news channels quite the opposite maybe if you know a couple tea partiers wearing hats and holding a poster on capitol hill those are the protests they cover. you you hear around and i mean the reason why we cover the tea party is because these are corporate media outlets they protect corporate power and the tea party's agenda unintentionally i think protect their own they came out against the obama health care law which i posed also runway i posed because i want to see a national single pale care system and improve medicare for all system the tea party people instead want to see the insurance companies continue to hold power

over the industry over our health care obama actually was supporting that they didn't realize it would do so their message was one that was consistent with the corporate into our message challenging bank of america the largest bank in the country which are two trillion assets and not paying any taxes now for two years or zero j.p. morgan not paying taxes g.e. not paying taxes we are going after corporate powers so corporate media is not going to cover it we are what makes change happen what's going to make change happen now is three things independent political movements who have clear demands and are persistent and making them independent political activity where you don't support either corporate party supporting quote repair or or is just entrenched is quite a pair of further and third independent media our t.v. feels a very important white on cable but there's also in addition you know you get you two people plenty of war sorts of activities people are informed now about what's going on through twitter and facebook blogs and websites the still much more source

of information now we're much more enough more active and people realize people should not be disheartened there's a lot of people out there we're making change in a growing cultural resistance the united states life generally people sought to be amazed i definitely agree with you that i think partisanship is something that that only hurt especially those sites of movements and you know we see a little bit of coverage of us and cut but i partake i think we never see any of the anti-war movements make ice t.v. and i had to mention also that these days we see a lot of action on line on blogs it's every way to get the word. out but i think that at the end of the day you still need the people power you still need the bodies to come out on to the streets to actually see it turn into a change you know and you could he was i guess egypt or tunisia as recent examples of that happen thanks so much for joining us tonight thank you very much. now we're taking a quick break but coming up next tonight if those in today's happy hour segment lindsay lohan makes quite a fashion statement on facebook or making news service today we'll have those

pictures for retards. we are right. we will be. safe ready because freedom. you guys welcome michel ancel on the obama show with part of our guests have to say on the topic now i want to hear audio dislodging you seem to video response on the twitter first part of the question is

a please post on you tube every monday and on thursday to show your response and. let your voice be heard. little. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for like sleep you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything is ok and you don't. charge the big picture. perfect.

little. ok though it's today i guess normally that would mean we'd be very happy hour anyway by the since this is our week where we're doing everything will they get used to it joining me tonight for happy hour of our team producer jenny churchill and jim hansen is back retired special operations master sergeant military blogger at black pride dot net and torture lover cell. so first of a lot and said let's just talk about a story that i guess is kind of funny and at the same time i guess it's kind of there was a drunk man i j.f.k. airport who was trying to go through security and well he was drunk so i guess your

number one mistake is because those t.s.a. agents they don't like anyone who messes around but he also said i did a lot in and i have a bomb and then he got arrested i mean is it too early to start making with a lot of jokes to be running around. oh i think it's always too early to make me making bin ladin slash bomb jokes at t.s.a. in the airport i can't really imagine a century where that would be ok yet the twentieth century before nine eleven happened you still i still think you would not be ok what baffles me is it took them forty minutes to decide to call the police for forty minutes they couldn't really figure out what to do you know a lot of instead what they're going to look like they're going to get a grip. on. actually the bag by the time police got there was on a plane on its way to. makes you feel really good about your security these days

yes no ok savant jokes are never going to be ok i got to know can you come in and say i'm saddam hussein and i have weapons of mass destruction since that one was a lie so it's kind of your to try to yeah but. that really gives you these suspicion is he was trying to sneak more onto the plane and that's why you have a. sixty two ocean prove all this is my problem is so these days now this guy gets arrested and good goes on his record was he just being drunk in public or what gets put on his record when he was you know trying to be a terrorist and it's getting much much more serious to haunt him for the rest of his life it's actually i think he was charged with filing a false report which i find weird he didn't actually file. misdemeanor i mean come on and tell all his friends to be famous and friends bravo he's actually from new york oh was it i thought yeah it was from yonkers ok so you say that he actually

looked like ben la you know you know if you had decent headgear on what i'd like a skinny little white kid it would have made a difference to the legs right around you and behind him that's the o.b.o. bulimba ok that is right you say i'm good live and i have a woman in my baggage thing about i got about her in my that you could actually get that's ok. let's talk about. speaking of women in bags lindsay lohan and. i have very. little ahead now having to do a little community service the other week she volunteered to teach homeless people acting lessons because apparently that's what she thinks homeless people really need instead of she was and through. it so we would picture of what she came to. take coming out of the hallways here when she's not even wearing a bra how do you say that how do you save all those people i would just like to go on the record i'm not homeless but if i were and i had a choice between a bowl of soup and

a good look at lindsay lohan's lady friends i know where i'm going to be snotty and easy anyone can answer she was she was going to volunteer at a women's center and she said a girlfriend. go ahead and speak up. i'm sure they were too angry about it either i totally forgot about this girl she's looking up from her with you i found a picture from two thousand and eight where she's wearing almost an identical shirt you know grabbed pretty much see through i think i think you know you have a different interesting way of giving back to the community is just walking around without a bra on but you know sure if you want to do that on the internet go for it lastly there. you know universities around the country that are trying to help students out with their stress because of finals including one that was giving out cupcakes . and puppies to play with first students to prepare for finals i'm sorry really i mean i would love somebody just like brought puppies to my office every single day when i was appearing for the show and stressing out to play with but really this is

a really really serious battle lost in the war against the what's the for cation of america we now give everyone a trophy nobody gets spanked and puppies in cupcakes when times get tough that's america i don't know i think the time honored your method of going out getting drunk is a monkey after finals probably the you know i don't know that the stress gets relieved before after by playing with a little puppy dog i think of her doing a disservice i mean a cupcake puppies to play with hammocks to lay out those are all distractions those are all things that aren't going to make you want to study for your finals and prepare for them like you you want to try to think that there's nothing fun going on in this world because you want to be in the zone and you know to force yourself to sit in a library if there are puppies running around in cupcakes being handed out to go study well not only are they a distraction but i think they're doing a real disservice to their students how are these kids going to be prepared for the real world when you know you go off to your job in a deadline is

a deadline and you get it done john and they're going to go. i mean i know my cupcake now yeah i don't that's not the real i've worked a lot of places with some very tolerant workplace rules puppies were never part of the and i have to be honest i thought for sure that i was going to look down it was going to say i used to santa cruz but now i am. not as we don't eat of puppies in cupcakes we have plenty of other. better yet it is a beautiful place you can go down the beach every day that's what happens when you live on the west coast and you're just happy because the climate is good as you don't necessarily need cupcakes or pot these are all these you know more material things to make you happy life it's just that i've decided. now that i live on the east coast i remember the day so you could have the most fun raising notes from the college for the. big you for joining us and we'll have another happy hour
