response or the twitter for part of the questions that we posed on you tube every monday and on thursday the show long responses we were going. for us tonight still time award and tonight it goes to sarah i haven't heard the former governor of alaska is touring the northeast on a bus and she's calling it the one nation tour many believe that she's just testing the waters for a possible presidential run in two thousand and twelve but she claims of this tour quote isn't about her now her political action committee sarah pac is reportedly paying for the boss of the family's riding around it and by the way this is it's a luxury bus it's got all the bells and whistles but now sarah the family are having sticker shock every time they pull into the gas station just listen to her complain about. prizes last night on fox news this is all mapped out i mean i don't

i don't know where you're going to go what will nasa because i know i'm told to go to the web site but you know where you go you sort of call and as you as you travel the next couple days we know we're we're going to there's three people or different reasons we're going to progress into the whole world one is security issues but of another is if the price of gas pipe is much higher right time we're going to be able to go to cars so in fact i think one of the one of the decals on the buses drill baby drill over the gas to treat my people you know when you're being pushed by bucks a gallon you can't go too far in every way this. oh sarah you know there are a lot of americans out there right now who are worried about gas prices many of them probably won't be able to afford a vacation this summer so you really have a right to complain about gas prices when you're a multimillionaire when you're riding on a luxury bus staying in fancy hotels all paid for reportedly by your pack we held the bus is nothing more than a chore to drum up your nations for your political action committee and most people

don't even think they are running for president it's just a way to keep your name in the spotlight and keep making more money now for the record drill baby drill got a little bad news for you you ask any economists any oil expert out there and they'll tell you that you really need more at home is going to bring prices down but if you really want to save some money sarah just park but dam but we did a little bit of quick fact checking online today on orbitz dot cobden get a nice four door car from two hundred fifty up to nine hundred bucks for one week that includes picking the car up here in d.c. where your tour started and shopping off in manchester new hampshire so you have several options to choose from but you're there something that would fit your family's needs right that somehow i'm betting that we're not going to see if they're on the family roll up to a rally in a toyota prius or a chevy volt that if you want to save some extra cash as well try camping and set of staying in fancy hotels i'm sure the tea party faithful would just love to see you sleeping under the stars. you know on our web site today we found numerous

times the prices range from two hundred up to five hundred dollars or more just think of all that money that you'll be saving and those are just a couple simple suggestions sara to help you stretch your dollar during these hard times but please please just stop trying to convince the american people that you're one of them real americans don't quit their job as governor and then to cash in on their political fame when they finally get a taste of the spotlight on fox news where you get a nice and very very cushy salary and that's why sarah palin it's nights till time where. now one element of us foreign policy that cannot be overlooked is the emphasis of the military places on drones have taken on an increasingly large role in american strategy under obama and it looks like we plan to give them an even bigger one the pentagon just released its thirty year plan for all things involving war planes and robotic planes and drones have a very very crucial role here the twenty five billion dollars a year budget is called the aircraft procurement plan we should note none of this

plan has been officially approved yet this is just what the pentagon is requesting let's be honest on the pentagon once something they usually get it now according to the plan the robotic air force will double within the next nine years with approximately one hundred unmanned aerial vehicles permanently on station that means going twenty four seventh's so that seems pretty clear the military shifted its strategy to include a much larger number of drones perhaps there are some things that the government should review before they agree to this aircraft procurement plan let's start with how drones are currently being used they become key players in our wars abroad especially in afghanistan and most importantly our shadow war in pakistan you know the u.s. has never declared war in. once they figured that the militants were located along the afghanistan pakistan border though the drones became the first weapon of choice and if you look at statistics drone strikes escalated in two thousand and eight and it's become that clear that two thousand and ten was the year of the throat with

one hundred eighteen separate strikes now these strikes reportedly did prove effective in killing militants over the past course of three years but the number of civilian deaths in drone strikes are quite shocking in two thousand and nine alone it's estimated that over five hundred civilians were killed and keep in mind these statistics they don't reflect the true number of people who lose their lives to unmanned aerial vehicles as hundreds more are going to port of each year but it's by the large number of casualties the calls from foreign governments to stop using these drones it seems as if the u.s. wants to use the. but even more places i mean sure pakistan is a hotspot right now but keep in mind the u.s. has also expanded drone use to include our unofficial wars in yemen and in libya oh by the way drones could very well become domestic devices to hover and feel like there's just this one thing that we have to point out here and i can understand why it's consistently overlooked how about the back of the use of drones is by many standards illegal philip alston the un special rapporteur on extra do just roll x.

extrajudicial executions has stated the refusal by states who conducted targeted killings to provide transparency about their policy violates the international framework that limits the unlawful use of lethal force against individuals a lack of disclosure gives states a virtual and in permissible license to kill so in other words countries like the u.s. can use these weapons without getting any kind of confirmation or approval after all anybody nearby is flying these robots the cia has a center based in nevada where quote pilots fly these u.a. these in search of their targets so in a push the button to strike they're just doing it really really far away and frankly the idea of expanding this u.s. arsenal is a little scary gone are the days of precision expertise several levels of confirmation before attacking people and now it's all about making video games for a simple push of a button thousands of miles away means that mission accomplished even if hundreds of civilians get killed in the meantime but hey that's what the pentagon really

wants for christmas. now what does it mean when a supposedly staunch advocate of civil liberties flops and less than a week that's exactly what we've seen was senator rand paul last week i was singing his praises for being the sole voice to try and stop the reauthorization of patriot act provisions for four more years with no debate and he said i believe that america can successfully protect itself against potential terrorists without sacrificing civil liberties the rest of our spineless lawmakers did almost nothing to stop the society on the constitution but that when speaking to sean hannity on his radio show about profiling in airports paul said this. program people on the color of their skin or on their religion but i would take into account where they've been traveling and perhaps you might have to indirectly take into account whether or not they've been going to radical political speeches by religious leaders it wouldn't be that they are islamic but if someone is attending speeches

from someone who is promoting the violent overthrow of our government that's really an offense that we should be going after they should be deported or put in prison. did you hear that paula suggesting that people be imprisoned or deported just pretending a political speech not only that a violation of the first event of who gets to decide what's considered a radical is it just another sign that in this age of war on terror certainly agree to have no chance of winning join me to discuss this is james fallows host of the bottom line and reform school on p.j. t.v. james thanks so much for joining us tonight so presumably i'm curious james do you think people should be thrown in jail or deported for attending a radical political speech. well a radical political speech certainly not but this isn't just any radical political speech we're talking about here right this is this is talk of what i believe it is actually rand paul did specify anywhere what kind of political speech he just had a radical political speech if you don't look at the jurisprudence and

constitutional law it stream corsten a lot of stuff to peel burn coal the kinds of restrictions that it placed on speech political or otherwise but one thing that it won't budge on is if you've got people who are advocating people were through their own overthrow of the government the united states of america it's a different beast different kind of speech and it's treated differently in close to shore but the thing is if you look at perhaps rand paul's record some of the speeches where he's been some of the events that he's been and he goes with these militia members perhaps some of these oath keepers these are people that constantly talk about overthrowing the u.s. government these are people who talk about killing liberal journalists i think he's asking it put himself in jail here. well i think that you raise a good point because if you take brand polls if you take it in polls example which is gosh we don't want people who consort with terrorists showing up to to rallies and events around the world where the violent revolution but evolution overthrow the united states government he's been pretty sure allies educated i mean look at

this way if you've got say a right wing or right wing parliamentarian say from finland where the right wing group is just it's just claims election victories there comes over to the united states and it turns let's say a white supremacist secessionist terrorist klan rally somewhere in texas or idaho and whites are coming out as the session is terrorist and those are a lot of words that pretty gathered as you can imagine right and there's the rally and there's this guy and he's not a citizen and he's hanging out is meeting people what do you want guns this person i don't think that the answer of nothing is either in tune with common sense or constitutional powers are not into the constitutional law that i'm just very curious i mean how can you only be for free speech but with certain exceptions or either stand for these values or you don't but again the first amendment was not created to permit insurrection or the overthrow of the government and i think that the court has been sherm even while recognizing that in many cases of the case law

needed to be used to be revisited in order to protect civil liberties here's a spot where you don't want where you don't want free speech because it isn't consonant with the very political order that's mean changing the environment what free speech is not all possible but at the same time that's why america is america is because of the founding fathers people of decided that their governing body wasn't properly representing that was you know was i to radical ruler and so they had to stand up against i mean you completely are real the entire idea that people can actually stand up to to a dictator to somebody that isn't getting proper rights to its citizens when you put the restrictions like alfred's by it well i don't think you can. eroding it all you still have the right of course to peaceably assemble and that means assemble not to overthrow the government but what i could very easily say that i think i will i would love to overthrow the us government so what's the difference that well i think the difference is one alternative both the interpretation of constitutional law and the courts aren't going to come down on the side of some would you say ok

i'm just very peaceably advocating that you know that the leadership of this country be executed and that the government be overthrown and that everyone that i'm talking to right now goes to order a you know i understand what it is that you're driving at civil liberties are important and you know and it's no surprise i don't think that ron paul himself was able to get a guy like sean hannity who's been soft on national security issues to carouse on his radio show and say you know what i'm. with you on this one you are right to stand up to congress and say the patriot act is not something that we can just keep renewing incidentally this is an emergency measure has to be emergency shouldn't one day the emergency yes i think the obvious problem there at least where you and i disagree jane is that i feel like we constantly keep renewing infinitely infinitely certain measures that we think are protecting us from freedom on a road on our civil liberties be it the first amendment the other fourth amendment now we have the president who has american citizens on assassinations lists that's

what happens when you set a dangerous precedent like that when you think that well perhaps there are certain examples where it's ok to just throw due process out the window place people on assassination less or place them in jail or deport them without ever taking them to any kind of court. oh no i'm all in favor of the process and i think that rand paul very cautiously couched remarks you know let's remember to go back to the beginning of the tape where he says you might want to indirectly take this into account you know this isn't a drag on you guy i think he's very well aware of where the case law is on the subject he's not interested in you know three people in the brig without trial for years and years on end and you know no. americans is not at the top of my list or in people's list but i think you know it's it's illustrative that you know guys like him he's very clear about this stuff and is a genuine libertarian and recognizes that when it comes to the constitution protections that are in the constitution there for american citizens first i think you know that's one of the worries though is that people like that people like rand

paul even when they start making concessions when it comes to your civil liberties that's when you know that you're in trouble and rand paul by the way did say they'd like to keep guantanamo bay open for as long as he could so he's totally down with throwing people in the break and keeping them there james i want to thank you very much for joining us tonight. once again. militants who are not lawful soldiers and warrant well we don't know right because we never get a fair trial and there are people that we just saw whooped up on the streets but i guess we'll never really truly know the answer james baker happier but of course we're at it i'm sure you join us on. it's not a concert i think is new technology to the heart the heart of homeland security is catholic which is designed to prevent crime that's a little bit crazy we have details on that in just a moment and then grab a cocktail party happy hour segment one g.o.p. presidential hopeful is trying to garner votes with a weird music video and a study shows that americans think affairs are worse than polygamy because our genes or lester and think progress is alex by small about that and much more after

the break. we. heard. were doesn't love the. safe ready for freedom. hey guys welcome to shower and tell me alone a show we've heard are just not to say on the topic now i want to hear. just go on to you tube his video response or to twitter first part of the question the police host on you tube every monday and on thursday to show the long response is leave

your voice. for. fun. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lack of sleep you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry for going to the big picture.

i just have one thing to say right now damn you tom cruise the u.s. department of homeland security is reportedly trying out new technology that may identify a terrorist before a crime is even committed think pre-crime minority report style of the program is called the future attribute screening technology or fast and the h.s. has been conducting tests for several months at an undisclosed location in the northeast u.s. according to nature dot com the technology uses remote sensors to measure a person's heart rate and their eye movement and it uses that data to determine their mindset so essentially they're saying that they can sense if they're going to commit some sort of crime so we've actually come to the time in our surveillance obsessed nation where did chess' watching distopian tom cruise movies for ideas. for our guards. or. to.

serve more troops to place here for six. hours. so let me give you a few more details the thing is kind of like a polygraph but also measures your heart rate and steadiness of gaze as you're walking through that terminal and that's just great because i know i get a little bit nervous when i go through that old porno scanner thing next thing i know i would be arrested for suspicion of being a terrorist now d.h. s. is really not saying a whole lot about this new system but they claim it has seventy percent success rate so far those tests have only taken place in a lab so i just wonder what will happen when those remote sensors are moved into a crowded airport or a bus terminal god know the terminal of angry holiday travelers can seem like a world cup group of would be criminals as you can imagine there are critics out there and i say rightly so sometimes scientists question if there are enough unique signatures for quote mal intent that's the homeland security's term for the

intention to cause harm the scientists say try to differentiate malintent from the normal anxieties of a trial or lower. alerts give me is nearly impossible and i have to agree with the scientists there how many times have you really wanted to get a crime at the airport because of a delayed flight of a screaming baby sitting in the seat behind you ask for when this fast technology coming to an airport near you the h.s. is keeping that information a secret but we just thought you should know about it in the meantime. it is time for our wednesday edition of happy hour and joining me tonight is r t correspondent lauren lyster and alex sites all reporter and blogger for think progress dot org and the progress report thanks for joining me this evening he's writing out i'm really excited for republican candidates to finally just jump in

and just admit that they're running because i love nothing more than cheesy campaign ads but there's already a really really good one from someone who's been in the race for quite a long time coming from herman cain take a look at this. now sarah palin gets a fancy buzz herman cain as a zone trade i kind of like that better of you guys i find this whole thing really endearing and it can i can i have a couple think about the little engine that could because herman cain you know he's the underdog doesn't have a whole lot of money in the production value of this ng is

a little bit iffy it's no it's him it's no it's you know michael bay produced you know it's simple and yet for sure but the it's just so and dear you know. he's out there talking to the people there saying he's going to raise cain they've got the little footage of the guy but what a curious thing in there my colleague who is no ally of herman cain makes like a twenty second cameo in there i'm not really sure what the purpose of that is i don't even see if i missed of yeah he's just you know talking just just talking about a normal constituent that herman cain hopes to get the vote in the g.o.p. . you just one thing which i picked up on and i feel like there's all these simple and old messages or not so simple no like through the whole thing you have to keep raising the point like look the tea party can't be racist because herman cain is black and i hate muslims because herman cain won't put it in the cabinet i'm sorry but we cover so many of the. movements they definitely have racist undertones and then i think what is going on are the koch brothers behind this are something that just seems too weird and when you go i mean i did not use an in-depth reporting on this but when you google it there are times i. i mean herman cain clearly has

a questionable stance on the muslim issue although he's walked that back tremendously and tried to get somebody to try to walk it back and say i didn't say that i would absolutely hire anyone who is muslim and put them in my cabinet just that i might think twice about it was the one williams like well i just makes me a little nervous about that and i did well i mean he's you know he said that he would hire any muslims who practice sharia law but all muslims practice sharia law you know you get in kind of a catch twenty two situation there but you know i just i can't help but feel little bit of love for herman cain the underdog even though he is a crazy total out there bigot just like the rest of the. song was kind of doing it for her. and they kept saying a raise let's raise some came let's raise again and it kind of all sound like they're saying like something about mccain mccain mccain it. looks the same like trying to play off of some of that you know lots of elections. they're like i don't

like are you mark against them where i just know i should vote for you we have to revive it. well let's talk about fox news for a moment if we went on our web site today check out what's the top story on fox news and one of the top stories was that iran is building its secret missiles herb's secret missile installation in venezuela oh just some guy decided to fear monger about that right about that but i just thought of fox news gets away with this stuff i mean i understand it's not the rest of the media's job to sit there for through every ridiculous story found on the fox news website and go and correct it but i mean but there are a lot of americans actually watching really fox news and they really think now that iran is building a secret missile installation in event as well you've got to give me a break now and there are a lot of mainstream media outlets and critics who want to discredit our team for any kind of thing that we do or any kind of opinion that we put on that people read as being you know conspiratorial or outside of the mainstream but fox news didn't

just get away with that nobody bats an eyelash just the way they place and even shows that they were like a little iffy about this situation is on fox news latino and it was unearthed and that is you know and i know it was it was under a can but if you read it it doesn't read like an opinion piece no but it's a good read like it is the reason this piece yeah so they clearly like. the author wrote it up as a new species and they were like who were going to put opinion in front of the c.e.o.'s of those in like when they have the stories how i think is it like hamas as it has. its infiltrating the us through the mexican border you know as well ok very quickly there is a new gallup poll out there that says that americans think that affairs are worse than polygamy and i'm just wondering do you think americans really feel that way. to me i don't want. to feel that way i think like a few clips. let's talk about what happens how it happened and perhaps how the

governor. and dean got a stack of the affidavits the core papers and i know you've had more time to go through this than i have what jumps out at you the details of that the sperm unaided was doing more than pumping. and me as a child i mean these guys are out of control just my opinion i love joy behar's but i don't know it is only can we order is an affair worse than polygamy polygamy is illegal having an affair isn't. going to. pay for you to divorce over that but i can see it as like this is like a short circuit on the puritanical american spirit they're like well i know i love marriage so external affairs yeah that's bad for sure but polygamy but it's a marriage just just how does a series as you want jews jews just throw them all in and call them all your wives and get everybody getting better everybody's getting you know to be recognized and getting fair treatment in a fair someone's you know getting screwed so if newt gingrich you know.

if he had just you know kept his three wives under one roof which sure newt gingrich would be into and you could buy them all tiffany rings every so often to keep them happy maybe he would be the future president which is not looking very likely. that like you had a medium we don't that are going to be any you know two million i just don't think men can afford multiple women really are you guys thanks for joining me tonight. thanks for tuning in make sure you come back tomorrow erika painter of the agenda project with me back on the show to discuss the point let's back and forth we've been seeing on the debt ceiling how to resolve that issue once and for all and meantime to forget become a fan of the lower show on facebook and to follow us on twitter if you missed any of the night's show or any other nights you can always catch all the you tube dot com slash you want to show where you can find interviews as well as the show in its entirety and coming up next is adversus a myth. emission
