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 you don't. charge welcome to the big picture. for. fear. for.

the so. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right leg. i think iraq even wanted well. whatever government says they're going to consume safe get ready because you're looking for freedom.

our it's time for tonight's tool time award and i we've got a double winner the new york times and the washington post say these two newspapers set off the alarm this week they need of an army of volunteers to help them with a major project they needed citizens to help create some very important documents released to the media yesterday and oh was it another wiki leaks dump of documents pertaining to a war or a watchdog group releasing info and government waste oh no this was much much more important do you see the seat the state of alaska released nearly twenty four thousand pages of e-mails today from back when sarah palin was there governor that's right two major newspapers who run award after award for their hard hitting journalism decided that they needed help reading sarah palin's e-mails now both paper sent cruise to alaska to cover the major news event but they still needed that help from the public just can't help but wonder why do they need help covering

a non-story sarah palin quit her job sold out for fame and fortune and has spent the last two years making a living by criticizing others who cares about her e-mails why does the media continue of course coverage of the sarah palin on it and it's not just those newspapers that are going crazy over the e-mails we were treated to a three ring circus today across all the cable news channels the porters will be scouring through more than twenty four thousand pages of sarah palin's e-mails and the documents are from her term as alaska governor it's a massive document they could offer new clues into work out of governor sarah palin was and if she does decide to run work out a president she might be we just saw a state official start reeling out now can you believe this twenty four thousand pages of e-mails of former alaska governor sarah pailin. i'm surprised the networks didn't have a little clout down clocks out this morning counting down until sarah's emails were released. around one pm today let's be honest the best e-mails with any of the good

gossip are probably being withheld anyways the state isn't releasing nearly twenty three hundred pages of those e-mails how convenient but here's my question is the media really need to provide nonstop coverage of the e-mails to prove that she's crazy. and. the kurdish people are going to be taken away or. will that and he sure is right he is hers do you. see bill that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free. for her to be interested while we exchange that was the proximity of the state give you there are next door neighbors and you can actually see russia from land here in alaska explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials while it certainly does as putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the united states of america where do they call it's alaska. that's just

a small little taste of sarah palin being sarah palin it's good stuff and that's why the new york times have a lodging to impose guards and i was told i wonder is for actually asking for help to cover the release of her emails if the media would leave her alone maybe she'd stay in alaska keep her eyes on russia full time only better one else alone. begin taking a good hard look at the possible g.o.p. presidential candidates for joining twelve i just can't open notice one quality of almost all of them seem to have in common it's gone and you know i don't really have many common just because they're good christians or mormons and mitt romney's case i mean these people claim that god wants them to be president here's a few examples. do you know better head to be guarded than i would bet was no i bet one plane was proud of you know that god was speaking through me to me through my granddaughter but this is something that i have got to at least it's.

not just. the transfer to minnesota state i am no idea just how much it's actually. now michele bachmann actually recently just a week or two ago also said the same about her running for president and we've heard the same from rick santorum and his wife although that one also didn't get caught on video but seriously what hits can god back more than one candidate in a race and when at least one of these people undoubtedly loses are they going to blame got through anything discussed this from our studio in new york is david packman host of the david packman show david thanks so much for joining us tonight and i savvy the studio rather than just on skype so you know first question if you were god which candidate would you back. you know here's the thing it's so pompous to me if you're if you're the type of person that believes that a god exists in the literal sense and that he is up there somewhere making day to

day decisions why on earth would you assume he cares about the twenty twelve presidential election in a country who is delineated by lines that were just created a couple hundred years ago it's pompous to me to any politician who actually says that god told them to go into iraq god told them to run it's the epitome of arrogance to me alone hello because we're an exceptional nation that has been or dain by god you know i mean i'm totally with you there i can speak here a lot of people often say that they thank god for things they thank god for giving them strength giving them hope but to say that god wants me the personally to run for president better seems really really selfish but you know have you ever heard a republican candidate use god as an excuse when it's something that isn't in their favor you know like you do you think that they believe that god wanted obama to be president that he wanted a socialist muslim in the white house. that's right this is the exact point where it is god supporting both sides of wars i mean in many cases we see both sides say

god is on their side i mean i was coming in on the train today and the guy next to me stunk was that because i didn't pray hard enough to god not to sit next to someone who hadn't showered for a week i don't know i guess i just didn't pray hard enough so you're absolutely right there's no mention of anytime something bad happens or just no action happens what about the mention of god there it's completely hypocritical not to mention i'm the last person to talk about the founding fathers and what they would have wanted in the constitution but it's pretty clear one of the things that's pretty clear is that god should have no part in elections and i think some republicans forget that well every guards to the smelly person sitting next to you i think maybe that's what we call bad karma but you know obviously the point here is this is that religion still plays a very large role in u.s. politics especially in conservative politics and we were just talking about this the other day of course ralph reed had his conference here in washington d.c. all of these g.o.p. hopefuls had to come in at least attend the conference if not speak there and

kissed the proverbial ring to show their support but you know i think that those types of conferences also show how far we have not come because if you look at recent polling a majority of americans are now ok they support gay marriage all of our republican candidates do not so do you think that they are going to lose the young vote here or is something like gay marriage are those the issues that people are kind of willing to compromise on. well listen gay marriage it's no surprise that the field of politicians does not represent the will of the people if it did we might actually have single payer health care by now but that's not even really discussed in a serious way that would be the will of the people i was talking to jesse ventura recently and he said he has i asked him can you not really win if you run again for major office because you're kind of seen as a little bit of a crazy guy now at this point and he said you know no that's not why it's because i came out of the closet as an atheist and you're completely right religion has a huge role to play i remember in the democratic primary not long not just

a couple years ago what's your favorite quote from the bible i mean that's the type of question and you're right we don't really seem to see much of junction from voters they just kind of think that's just part of it it's part of it part of an election campaign is what's your favorite piece of the bible yeah that's what i mean you know it's it's hard sometimes to talk about the will of the people because sometimes the will of the people can lead you down the wrong direction especially when there's a lot of fear hysteria and a lot of emotions that are put into play about something but let's just kind of segue from i guess national politics although rick perry might play a role in national politics too to prayer just talking about prayer let's take a look at rick perry's new campaign that has. there's worse. i can see you lying and. you get even stronger. and.

this is where we were. over and. all right so first texas was having they're going through a drought they had massive wildfires and rick perry called for three days of prayer to answer the entire issue now he's launched this entire campaign called the response where he is calling for national prayer and he wants governors across the country to join in but i just can't help but feel and tell me if you're with me or do you think that this is why we can't get things done in this country why we can't address the real issues that we have it's the economy or social issues because we depend on prayer as the answer. absolutely this is and i was talking about this yesterday on my show this is an insult to the founding fathers jefferson was very clear in his letter about the separation of church and state there's the first amendment and rick perry is bringing together trying to bring together all the governors of the united states to have a mass prayer day it's an insult let me put it this way how many jobs is praying to

jesus going to create in texas i don't know that it's that it's going to be too many and every single person who's unemployed everybody who's suffering from all of the supposedly democratic and obama policies that republicans like rick perry like to criticize a mass prayer day getting tons of governors to travel around to have a mass prayer day how many jobs will that create is the question he should be ashamed of himself i had to know if it's necessarily in salt but i definitely think it's embarrassing but do you think that he should be able to do it. he should be able to do it if that's what he wants to do and on his innocence the sense that he's on the on his off time he's going to pray for rain or pray for whatever it is that he wants but to have a formally organized especially with the american family association involved which is involved in that in that situation if you know anything about them you know that's the last organization that should be involved with any official politician it's an insult to voters when voters see that and they say this is how my elected

official is spending its time. i hope that they will realize that it's absurd and vote him out or maybe you know maybe products have to vote him out they want to thank you so much for joining us tonight thank you. are we got one more segment ahead on tonight's show we have our fireside friday and then a fan of the week so stick around for some happy hour that was out but a creepy and really ingenious way to spy on women in a shower and don't think about playing too much traffic stop because the decision from the supreme court could mean extra time behind bars i can just look. into that only when you're with the mechanisms and do the work to bring justice or accountability. i have every right to know what my government should do if you want to know why i pay taxes. but i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you

know sometimes see a story that seems so silly is that you understand it and then you live something else here's some other part of it and realized everything you saw. i'm sorry look it was a big picture. says . let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right now. i think. either one well. we never government says they're confused safe get ready for the freedom.

it's nice. your. they were going to play a little bit of catch up but it's

a very important capture you see after seal team six conducted its raid on osama bin laden's compound in pakistan we were informed by the obama administration that no pictures of the released of his body i got shocked anyone considering the track record of visit leads to transparency of most promised transparent administrations ever but still after ten years after numerous wars i think people deserve to see some proof and let's face it the argument the releasing his photo would anger those in the muslim world that want to do us harm but falls flat when you think of the million other reasons they have to hate us occupations drone strikes civilian deaths while ations of their sovereignty threatening their elections undying support for israel which they will never ever ever be ok with and all of the general hypocrisy that comes along with a lot of our foreign policy the list goes on and not one picture is not going to lead to any earth shattering revelations for the on the fence to hide it but it could do a lot for the sake of transparency and journalistic integrity in this country

considering that every news outlet has been reporting on something for which we still see no proof so in response to the obama administration's announcements a number of media organizations filed freedom of information act requests for all sorts of materials ranging from contingency plans of the. rage through of course all photographs and all videos that were taken there that we reported to you on this show and those organizations included a.p. politico n.p.r. c.b.s. news and reuters but see the thing is that once these requests were filed the u.s. government had twenty business days to respond guess what last week that deadline came and went and government thinks that you can just let that one flight and in fact the only documented answer that we've seen came from politicos and vocal he got a letter not addressing whether the foyer request would be here to or not but just stating that robert gates personal staff is going to be responding to it robert gates personal staff rather than the typical career foyer employee the ones that are meant to be nonpartisan the ones that are meant not to take into account any

possible embarrassment that release because they're just supposed to decide whether there's a legal basis for it or not but aside from not that's been it there's still no actual response there's definitely no release of the information or of those pictures and that is a blatant slap in the face not only to the first of a to every single journalist in this country it's not like this administration has a problem arguing they believe in the importance of state secrets that are vital to our national security we've seen them do that a number of times already and that's another flip flop by the way from candidates to president obama but you just ignore the deadline to act like it's no big deal like the government is so above having to deal with pesky requests that's just flagrant disrespect and arrogance and they need to be held accountable for it but unfortunately the only option the news agencies have now is to sue the department of defense or the cia now i say they should go for it but so far nobody has commented on whether or not they're going to do it so now because our government

decides to make itself above the law the garden has fallen back on media organizations that probably are going to be too scared to sue the d.o.t. or the cia because that means they'll never get another leaker another lead on a story again and if you ask me that's what i call her. option. all right it's happy hour and it's friday and joining me this evening as archie producer jenny churchill and anthony rand writer of economic recent research excuse me economic reason see that's what's happening right after reason foundation. let's start we've got quite a few stories today this one is not sure whether they hate this guy or whether the think that it's kind of brilliant there's a twenty year old kid in california that got arrested because he was putting this takes i wear on women's computers and he told them that if something goes wrong at

that doesn't seem to work then or if i'm sure what to do try putting your laptop in your hot steam for several minutes to clean the then he can tell them to it so rewarding that fake warning pops that something and a lot of women you know when you want to put it in front of steam then where do you do that you do it in the bathroom when you're taking a shower where you're disrobed obviously it's a clip he's also accused of sending pop up messages to their computers warning them their webcam needed cleaning and the way to clean them which was to take it to a steamy environment typically a shower he said this is a webcam photo he stopped from one of his victim's computers from a hot steamy bathroom. thank god he got that still don't know that it was a very scandalous but really they cared about what apparently he did have hundreds of photos on his laptop i'm just looking for is why hundreds of women would actually think of the best way to deep steve it and we were just talking about this

is to put in the bathroom while you're taking a shower this is clearly a case of discrimination because anyone with half a brain would think oh maybe i wouldn't want to take my electronic device and put it near morning to share so that all of its insides corrode. this doesn't seem to be the best way to use it but isn't the lesson here don't push it too far because he was able to take pictures without it going with steam he never would have been discovered if he had just been taking pictures without this warning label party i think that's the true us in here yeah but we can't get them to get naked otherwise they would just be like that in front of the computer the whole time the stuff we come up with a way to get the women to be naked in front of the computer and the camera and really an assessment obviously not and he's only twenty years old who. are grads who want to our next story and this one really just kind of gets me pissed off but apple is now going along with we've heard from a lot of congress members in fact they are trying to put pressure on our poll they have now decided to ban all apps that give away where dui checkpoints are but it's

the ones that are not publicized by police because this was my big problem at this time is unlike a lot of these are publicized by the police departments they actually posted online this is public knowledge but they just don't want people giving in to the little tips if they're driving home drunk which that's a great idea but this is also with censorship you're telling people you can't just tell people where i mean if that's not censorship because apple is choosing to do it by themselves essential to the government. user no outlet is pressured into it that's total b.s. absolutely you shouldn't have senators going in selling out all you you sure should offer this but they did choose to do it of their own volition that we can't even notice are you saying they're censoring all the people who want to download these apps no no no we should be earlier to that the apps that are to exist were not taken down they just made a clause that they could not accept anymore but isn't this whole thing ridiculous if you if you are sober enough to know that you have to go. and find and read

where these checkpoints are is this really a problem likely really does the united states senate have to care about the this is going to be surprising thing the drunk people do you know i woke up and looked in my case in the next morning at apparently there is a fancy feast that it was made the night before. are there problems like a lot of skill. this is. the math right you know to be like below goes like fancy feast like it was the big a bunch of cat food that you had bought and i was you just like loaded up throughout the kitchen ok enough about me go on i think you should see. i'm on here you know i think now i want to say well this one is eft so the supreme court has ruled that apparently if you get in your car and you decide to leave the police in your car that's now considered a violent felony and that can give you up to a fifteen second come with a fifteen year mandatory minimum sentence and i think we all know what this might look like sometimes take a look at a clip. only to talk to

a woman named betty or driving erratically. she's got one here. you are better than me. how does that he look like a violence criminal to you as a felony that she was already here out there that's my hometown oh that's fantastic that's my home for you know that road and i possibly nobody i know if you bet it's a little disturbing it's the best part about this story though is if you actually read the opinions of the dissent schoolies said that this is a tutti frutti decision that's only good that is in the dissent of the u.s. supreme court's decision today for to define and to defer the decision for them that was the point that he was making is that this bill is like this that this whole day if he basically who is saying that this is against some of his vote on services like roberts and. that this is really as vague notion that they're basing

this whole law on that you might possibly someone could possibly be injured by a particular act but they can then deem it a violent felony that like that right there if they catch up to. that person and they put her in prison for fifteen years that is absolutely ridiculous now if you then if you see somebody completely different they goes on some wild goose chase they're trying to bait the cops and they hit somebody child in jail for fifteen the u.c.i. for running people over. by their house my big question here is this law going to reduce the number of car chases shown on television and i need to know because lord knows the alarm show crew i love the guard told me there will be enough. people criminals out there that don't read supreme court i think this is the united states of america let's talk about this last one really quickly because i just love the way that it's been covered so apparently the market off he has been

engaged in a vigorous writing campaign with president obama which is only really a one way writing campaign but he's been writing his letters and now he's actually written a letter to congress thanking them for standing up to obama in terms of questioning you know the the war in libya that he gotten us involved in it without ever asking for congressional approval even though i think congress's resolution that they just kind of wag it's really we didn't do anything it doesn't put a limit on anything except for saying that we can't have the troops there but. i just think it's kind of funny and the obama administration's response was kind of like well this is all the more reason we need to get out of here if you can see what is really yeah i mean no one's confirmed that this letter actually came from him but i just love that they're like we'll see this confirms that we should be there well actually you know the fact that he's crazy doesn't confirm the fact that we're not fighting an illegal war i'm confused is this whole thing one whole areas middle finger to like the u.s. congress could offer you is an insane like dictator but i also think that he

understands the comedy about this and he also understands a saturday night live has finished its season and so like we would have to wait till september for them to come up with a gag like this when i think i think he this is comedy to the. united states of america that he would because he knows what's up in congress and he understands it was about him so this is more of a mass of middle finger to it to the republican party and to the democrats and also . to get us out of there it's like i just think it's really sweet i like it here i just wonder what stationery he uses i like the idea of somebody still writing letters i'm sure they made the break. our guys thanks for joining me. that's it for tonight's show thanks for tuning in make sure they come back on monday the tea party has a hardcore competitor in the world of the it's cleverly named after drinks we're going to speak to the founder of the to heal a party. 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 tonight's or any other nights you can always catch it on the you tube dot com
