i think either one well. we're never going to the shows they're going to keep him safe get ready for the freedom. a charmer in here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture. new web site with twenty four seven live streaming news tell us what to do about

the ongoing financial heart unlimited free high quality videos for download. and stories you may never find mainstream news. so. maybe the political. posts aren't such a. guy's welcome michel ancel on the ellen show part of our guest stop to sound the topic now i want to hear audio is going to use you to video responses or to twitter for part of the question that we've posted on you tube every monday and on thursday the show long response is currently. are. 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. we see that 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 had been inside this compound housing bin laden began to get a little bit murky if here is beloved 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 are put in front of them as a shield i think it really just speaks to just tell false his narrative has been over the years. now when brennan said there are some of bin laden used his wife as a shield that sent 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 and much of the arab world. right luke all arabs are so awful their wives and hate

women so much that they regularly use them as human shields so this should totally not surprise you luke who cares a lot and 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 he would probably because he's 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 us 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 that 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 that was a lie he died from friendly fire in fact the army knew that he died from friendly fire but it was all covered up in 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 these were 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 populations in the world so that's why you are tonight's tool time winner. now imagine this scene forty years ago thirty thousand protesters came to washington with a goal of shutting down the government and ending the vietnam war it was a scene unlike anything you'd see today and scale and for remembers this historic day and 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 thunder but based circle look like i may third one hundred seventy one we're back in seventy one you know a lot of the people were staying around dupont circle 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 there were just thousands of people that would just converge 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 day 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. but 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 sitting who is you know part of

a massacre so for us it was the last stand the last stand a big maybe you know. trying to end the war. and and we willing to abandon people willing to you know put their 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 you line arena was one place the reds practice field which was down. a stadium was another there were several places where you could put a lot of people and that's where they were taken and. 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 was the spirit like it was incredible i mean you can see when the police raid into the crowd at 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 into a practice field like this you know people had to sort through their own you know deal with finding food and keeping warm and. keeping spirits up and from that people went back to their homes houses went back in their communities and and spread around them and that was kind of like the legacy of that whole experience it was the last antiwar demonstration but. it. was the beginning of the end of the war. both plots in fact are city 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 whether it has to do with an all volunteer army where people were not being. drafted into the service nowadays there are less people affected by those wars that were affected by the previous wars in afghanistan. i don't know which is just you're not getting the numbers. that we used to get for those. forty years ago protesters still that's of the lincoln memorial church on the national mall if they can if it is preaching to task and question the legitimacy of the u.s. war in vietnam but the wars in iraq and afghanistan continue people are now on the streets here in washington like they used to be feeling for art see washington d.c. . so forty years ago at least thirty thousand people came out to protest and thousands or arrest it to end the war in vietnam but how do you explain the sense

of those tens of thousands today when we're fighting not one war but two officially and we have shatter 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 do any make as customers have busies who works on board 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 clues there is nice order in the bush administration i mean during the run up to the iraq war we had mass demonstrations opposing the war. the war in europe during the two dozen six election.

protests in the capital really disrupting your every congress and he got very close to undermining funding for the war didn't even work what we're seeing now is because a redeveloping of a cultural resistance and you go back to last december and also the white nose one hundred thirty two veterans and their allies were arrested approach protests in the war last march hundred sixty were supporters in. you see bradley manning and i said were demonstrations into 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 being paying taxes here and some of these protests are large and some are small and i think one reason or small is because a lot of confusion about president obama there are a lot of people hope that president obama would actually be a change agent and so he's been

a status quo agent you know keeping corporate power stronger keeping wall street stronger and really holding back what people need with in the sense is that people are and people are confused are there a lot of peace activists or democrats you know want to protest the president a lot of work or advocates or unions who allow the democratic party i think is a connection a democratic party is very the greatest hurdle we face and try and get people active again but so what do you do about that people are too scared to protest against their political party that i design or see understand how there can be a culture of activism. and any change that actually comes about i mean are people too high or 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 made change happen going back the american revolution i mean it was not a majority of americans even favorite. look at the civil rights movement it was not

even majority of african-americans who were out on the streets protesting against a very of our police tactics so most of the protest in the civil rights era worst lawns are things like this it is a lunch counters we're here for people who are able to raise issues and green create conflicts that resolve things or rosa parks are sitting on the front of the bus one person a tremendous difference of course there were mass protests as well like the i have a dream speech in washington d.c. great kind of came later and so i think we're just now were people who care about economic justice people who care about torture accountability and war need to get active and do it they can and build this momentum up i see it happening i see it happening on every issue as housing for closure bankers not doing your taxes and where you are sure will welp divide piece torture accountability people are getting active i can i see protests every day or carry around this country it really is a cultural resistance in the kind of formation stage but it's growing quickly so if

it does exist around the country that's something 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 will say 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 here and i mean the reason why they covered a tea party is because these are corporate media outlets they protect corporate power and the tea party's agenda unintentionally and i think our tax code apparently came out against the obama health care law which i oppose also by the way i posed because i want to see a national single pale payer system and improve medicare for all system a tea party people instead want to see the insurance companies continue to hold power over the industry overall result care obama actually was supporting that they

didn't realize it but it's 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 wrote j.p. morgan not paying taxes g.e. not being taxes we are going after corporate powers so corporate media is not going to target we are what makes change happen it was going to make change happen now is three things independent political movements will have cleared a man's and are persistent and making them independent political activity where you don't support either corporate party supporting or territories just in treasuries corporate paratha earlier and third independent media r t feels a very important light on cable but there's also a little you know you get you to be pretty of war sorts of activities people are informed now about what's going on through twitter and facebook blogs and websites this much more source in their mission now were was put in front of people as another active and people realized people should not because aren't there's

a lot of people out there were making change in a growing cultural resistance the united states a lifeline there he will sort it be me i definitely agree with you but i think partisanship is something that that only hurt especially those types of movements and you know we see a little bit of coverage of us and but i partake i think we have a stand in the anti-war movement make ice a t.v. and you know you do mention also that these days we see a lot of action on line on blogs and it's every way to get the word. but i think 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 turned into a change you know you could use 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 expose in today's happy hour segment lindsay lohan makes quite a fashion statement he's performing community service today we'll have those pictures when we return.

with the far right. we have got the live safe get ready you can say good. bye guys welcome michel and tell the obama show we've heard our guests have to say on the topic now i want to hear audio just go on to you tube to video respond to our twitter profile of the questions that we've host on you tube every monday and on thursday showing the long response in the.

for. a. few minutes. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and here's you some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. the first.

ok so it's tuesday ridge i guess normally that would mean we'd be doing happy hour anyway but since this is our week we're doing it every single day it used to do any reason i for happy hour i've already producer jenny churchill and jim hansen is back retired special operations master sergeant military blogger black buy dot net and torture lover so. so it's been 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 sad 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 that's your number one mistake is because there's t.s.a.

agents that are like anyone who messes around but he also said i'm a bit a lot in and i have a bomb and then he got arrested i mean is it too early to start making but a lot of jokes to be really rather they are not. i think it's always too early to make be 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 look at all how the twentieth century before nine eleven happened you still i still think you would not be ok what battles news it took them forty minutes to decide to call the police micro forty minutes they couldn't really figure out what to do we know when lot instead but the guy looked 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 for that makes you feel really good about your security these days good luck yes jokes no ok it's a bomb jokes are never going to be ok i got to know can you come in and say i'm

saddam hussein or i have weapons of mass destruction since that. it was a lie. well i'm going to try this. let's try that i started reading these suspicion is he was trying to sneak mark onto the plane and that's why he made the two ounce rule how do you do that with sixty two ocean prove all this is my problem his so these days now this guy gets arrested and what goes on his record was he just being drunk in public or like it's put on his right leg 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 it right for you to a misdemeanor i mean come on and you always friends will be famous and friends. he's actually from new york oh he was i thought yeah i'm from ok so you say that he actually looked like me in line you know you don't want to be going to have decent headgear on what you're like a little white kid whatever made

a difference as he likes to do you know when behind that's the o.b.o. be your window ok got it right to say i'm behind and i have a woman in my bag or just saying and i don't get it right that you could actually get. let's talk about. speaking of women in bags but in the low hands. i got very very. happy 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 shoes and. so picture of what she came out to. take coming out of the homes here when she's not even wearing a bra that you see is 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 you're going to see that and you say to me when can i answer you know she was she was going to

volunteer at a women's center and she said again. lesbians all go ahead and speak up personally i'm sure they were doing about it either i totally forgot about this girl she's a lesbian offender with this year i found a picture from two thousand and eight where she's wearing almost an identical shirt you know brought pretty much see through i think i think you know i think one interesting way of giving back to the community is just walking around without a bra on but you know i'm sure if you want to do that all in favor go for it lastly now there. are universities around the country that are trying to help students out when they're stressed because of finals including one that was giving out cupcakes and puppies to play with first students to prepare for finals. really i mean i would love somebody just like puppies to my office every single day when i was preparing for the show and stressing out to play with but really this is a really really serious battle lost in a war against there was

a fixation of america we now give everyone a true fee nobody gets spanked and puppies in cupcakes when times get tough that's america i don't know i think the time on are you a method of going out getting drunk as a monkey after finals is probably the bright move you know i don't know that the stress gets relieved before after by playing with a little puppy dog i think we're doing a disservice i mean a cupcake poppy's 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 have to force yourself to sit in the library if there are parties running around in you know cupcakes being handed out which i was going to 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 and a deadline is its outline and you get it john and they're going to go. i mean i

mean 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 good 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 no i had. some i just got as we don't have puppies in cupcakes we have plenty of other things to build better it is a beautiful place you can go on 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 words but i've decided. now that i live on the east coast i remember those days so maybe the most fun raising note from the college for the. departed out up thank you for joining us and we'll have another happy hour on wednesday because of happy hour here on the larger trees now before
