a negative neo con man see once again on those ron paul people plus a little gay news from the sergeant major of the marine corps don't ask nancy if he's a neo con and i won't tell anyone that you've been watching out on the versus the man. the f.b.i. is bragging about a recent coup mob boss james whitey bulger he was captured after sixteen years on the run near los angeles this case is interesting because it shows what happens when the full light of the federal government's law enforcement effort is focused on a truly dangerous criminal the rest came after a tip from a t.v. broadcast campaign resulting in a viewer recognizing his long time girlfriend catherine gride did it results in a new. no in this case they definitely lured this eighty one year old man out of
7:02 pm
his apartment and arrested him without incident in addition to the millions of dollars spent on catching him the f.b.i. had a two million dollar reward and until bin laden was killed he was number two on the most wanted list he was wanted for nineteen murders from his operations in the boston area and served as the inspiration for the movie the departed here's the kicker he was actually an f.b.i. informant until one thousand nine hundred five tipping them off on the activities of rival gangs until an f.b.i. agent tipped him off that he was about to be indicted himself but that's not the end of the shady connections his brother william bulger was one of the most powerful men in massachusetts as a leader of the state senate in two thousand and three a congressional committee described the case says quote one of the greatest failures in history a federal law enforcement but the real failure is not the bungling of this case but the misplaced priorities represented here. well the feds act like keystone cops wasting millions of tax dollars hunting down a violent criminal empowered by the drug trade obama continues federal raising its
7:03 pm
medical marijuana dispensaries police arrest people for videotaping them protesters are hassled and body slammed for speaking out against the regime all the guy who stole your car or mug your mother or broke into your home goes free after some donuts entre in a blue costume filed a police report. if you recall the two thousand eight republican national convention there were a lot of the subset that john mccain was the so-called republican nominee for the g.o.p. i was there myself protesting his her rendition record on veterans' issues as well as the fact that you can't win an occupation and was very fortunate to be able to actually interrupt a speech but there are a number of protesters there who weren't so lucky as i was to simply walk away from their protests and joining me now is the accused would be our insane bomber bradley crowder who we're very fortunate have with us tonight because he's in town for the release of the new documentary covering the protests of the r n c in two thousand and eight better this world he got out of jail just
7:04 pm
a year ago after doing almost two years for. well i'll let him describe exactly what his crime was bradley thank you so much for joining us tonight so you're from austin texas and you decided to go up to the r n c in minneapolis for laurent what compelled you to be there i well i had been active politically for a little while and local stuff but i was moved and politicized around the iraq war when the occupation started the war began and so i wanted to go out there and engage in the first national protest i've ever been a part of. ok and so you're there to you're part of the not affiliated organizations of the people that were coming together as individuals voluntary i was i remember i was there for one of the organizational meetings and in order to make it harder to disrupt everything was done on a voluntary cooperative basis there was no organization there were no official leaders and yet at one point during the protests. were relatively nonviolent for
7:05 pm
the most part and they were when you got arrested until the police were there you were arrested in a mass arrest tell us about that oh well i was arrested right before i was arrested i was part of the street protests called funk the war which was just basically taken dance and may well again i was able to dance and so. they were trying to get us off the street and they started firing rubber bullets and tear gas and stuff and it caused the crowd sort of panic and started to try to run away they ended up cornering us after a little while and. in a parking lot and mass arrested everybody in the parking lot and you were put first put on your face and then tear gassed mace yeah when i saw that we were surrounded and i knew the they were going to arrest i grabbed my friend who not my codefendant but another protester and just pulled us down to the ground and were face down on the ground and a police officer came up and put his boot on my back and in a sting in the eyes and they left me in jail for a week when most of the people that were arrested there were released much sooner than that because you were held because there was another charge in the works just
7:06 pm
for you and your codefendant who had been released right or or was not arrested in that first run he was arrested and was released just this paperwork was completed before yours already got processed this controversy nobody really knows f.b.i. has one they say that is interview my friend in codefendant says he didn't have is his he said he had his id ok let's gets of a charge here because there was someone with you who was an f.b.i. informant who has given you information feeding you information and this is why entrapment kind of comes into this is lisa's an allegation here and there's some discussion still going on with the with this guy who's now come out and he's featured in this documentary but he hasn't it was a really open to participate so he was giving you information about not just the how to make molotov cocktails but how to get away with it how to be subtle about it but it's like that and you and your codefendant actually put a couple together in the basement of the house where you were staying what was your intent with those we didn't really know idea that we sort of haphazardly came up
7:07 pm
with use and against the democratic jumbo trons sign as a like an act of property destruction we had explicitly decided to make sure that they were used against people just against property when we went to sleep at night after we made and we know woke up the next day and decided that we were going to use them. but we didn't have to this was wrong this was you getting carried away because you were so upset at the violence from the police these guys in the riot suits with the shields and the rubber bullets everything else and in an act of frustration you flirted with with an idea that never even passed property damage but it did lead you to actually make north of cocktails so how does that turn into a charge against and what did you get hit with and how did that end up legally with you getting twenty one twenty twenty one months i was convicted of possession of an unregistered fire destructive device because because firearm includes not by federal legal standards ok i was frustrated because when i was when they actually made the raid i was in jail and didn't have any way to actually possess them as far
7:08 pm
as i knew and all of that they were going to be destroyed because we decided not to use and so it was the informant that connected you. and you were accused with with much for one of the worst crimes and so that would have carried a minimum sentencing of thirty years and you pled to yet initially tried to indict me on a mandatory minimum thirty years but when it came the evidence came back or the facts came back all they could indict me on was zero to thirty like a maximum of thirty if i were to go to trial i would have gotten ten to twelve years and with a plea deal. too and so all the all the controversies around the informant came out the way he was encouraging sort of militant action and violence and his sort of history. really kind of like him working as an f.b.i. not just informer but entrapment agent as we've seen with so many of more high profile guesses fabrications of various and fabrications of would be attacks in order to make it look like the f.b.i.
7:09 pm
is really doing its fighting crime fighting terrorism keeping dangerous people off the streets when in reality the most dangerous people on the streets that day and at the r. and c. where the police protester was the rating rating of people's homes illegally with no warrants pulling people over in their car at gunpoint with no. but instead of releasing them without an arrest because it was nothing but still putting in place on the ground with shotguns and. i hope despite what you been through in this ordeal you'll keep fighting you even protesting and you know yes they are politically active thanks so much for joining us tonight glad to be here that was bradley crowder the would be r. and c. bomber who is in fact here in the documentary is better this world. according to a sneak preview of the two thousand and ten census from the associated press minorities make up a majority of babies in the united states the story was points out a number of other interesting stats that we saw coming is making its rounds as americans get to engage in a new kind of modern navel gazing thanks to the thousands of new jobs obama created
7:10 pm
with the census the other shocker here is that the share of african-american households headed by women made up of mostly single mothers now exceeds african-american households with married couples the story says quote demographer say the numbers provide the clearest confirmation yet of the changing social order one in which racial and ethnic minorities will become the us majority by mid century that would make them not nine minorities anymore right way it would then it would all be minorities now. i've been accused of being almost every ethnicity there is but i just consider myself an american might and the ultimate one already an individual human being and well i don't have a problem with the census as it's necessary for a constant from government i do have a problem with the government collecting data beyond what is necessary because it is always used to divide us into collectivized groups that can then be set to fight each other for political advantage and handouts there are a lot of observations from the state about how our generation the millennial is
7:11 pm
different from those before us because we are a minority majority generation in a lot of us states and have grown up in more broken homes than any before us according to laura spear coordinator of the kids count project for the baltimore based any e casey foundation quote it's clear the younger generation is very demographically different from the elderly something to keep in mind as politics plays out on how programs for the elderly get supported she needs government programs it's critical that children are able to grow to compete internationally and keep state economies growing see we need to get young people more economically productive to support state economies so we can be forced to take care of the generations before us that have trashed the economy and we're looking at the numbers can yell some powerful insights please don't let yourself be caught up in this dangerous collectivism keep fighting for the ultimate minority and individual free and beautiful human being that all of us are all right joining me now is bill do you propose listener and founder of zero gov dot com will all the way from sierra vista arizona thanks for
7:12 pm
being with us tonight i am honored to be on or show out of thank you i guess i was a little trivia question who was the first president of the united states george washington really. are you sure now if you're going back to the articles of confederation or we prefer institution or prose constitution pretty constitution. actually you've you've caught me because i don't know but there were about a dozen less than a dozen of our i was the first real president of the articles of confederation was peyton randolph and i you're an advocate of the superiority of the articles of confederation over the constitution why is that. well let me put a county out in there if i may and that's this i like the articles of confederation because basically what it does is it gives the federal government no power whatsoever to push the states around under the you have
7:13 pm
a complete confederation the states are truly sovereign unlike the lip service sovereignty that we see in the constitution and what i liked about it was the inefficiency of the system you know effectiveness of the system because they could never get together to get anything done collectively and i think that anything that is done collectively for the most part usually has a negative impact on the individual as opposed to now or we see our government our federal government is able to come together very effectively to oppress the rest of us and spend our money for us and put us in some more collective that but what lessons do we have to learn from looking at the difference from the articles of confederation to the constitution that now anybody looking at taking an honest look at even supporters of the principles that i don't must say and must question whether or not it is failed us but you know the constitution has failed us in so many ways because what people basically don't realize is that it was designed as an instrument to put the gun in the hands of the national state so that the national
7:14 pm
state could reach over state borderlines those thirteen thirteen colonies those thirteen states and actually tax and regulate individuals now the federal government didn't have that power before seventeen ninety one when the constitution was finally ratified after a four year battle what's interesting too is that when we look at the treaty of paris and seventy three the british did not make peace with these united states or the united states of america it made peace with thirteen separate colonies because that's the way the articles of confederation were designed so that every one of those states every one of those colonies was on an equal footing with the other well i hope that people are able to take that lesson today on with the other ways the federal gov is out of control and support states rights and that returns of that localist ban that the founders had in that you champion so well. dot com especially stand up for the ultimate minority the individual human being bill thank you for joining us tonight. thanks
7:15 pm
a lot of all right that will be her publisher and founder of zero gov dot com and you're watching adam vs the man we'll be right back. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear see some other part of it and realized everything you saw. i'm sorry this is the. r t is the state run english speaking russian channel it's kind of like al-jazeera . from the. from the. russia today has an extremely
7:16 pm
confrontational stance when it comes to us. welcome back to adam vs the man this is a day we heard of a new building introduced in congress to get the federal government almost completely out of the enforcement of marijuana laws returning the power of that to the states and its bills co-sponsored by representative ron paul and barney frank one public and one democrat and it has a number of co-sponsors mostly democrats now but there are a lot of people excited about the potential that this represents joining me now to discuss this are andrew sharp of young americans for liberty and station kosner with students for sensible drug policy. thank you so much for being with us tonight
7:17 pm
so this is this is pretty exciting that we're in the middle of the g.o.p. presidential race ramping up we've got ron paul taking a stand for the constitution being willing to reach across the aisle differentiate himself not that he really needed any help with that from the other republican candidates standing out to take the stand andrew looking at the bigger picture here do you do you think that this bill has as a good chance for an hour ago we've seen similar things in the past between different efforts but this time you know with the momentum of the bigger political picture does this have a chance if you mean a chance of passing yes if no a chance at even getting a vote no but it is historical and this is the first time ever that we've had a bill to fully legalize marijuana and you know that being slow it's quite that isn't it so if i leave a leave it up to the states that says the federal government can still in force on state nine's commerce there's some authority left over i mean to shred compared to what they have now obviously right exactly and i mean there is you know debate
7:18 pm
there over how much how far it goes but basically the five co-sponsors of this bill as you said former democrat and one of them is the republican ron paul have taken a very courageous stand of doing this and even if it only gets you know ten or fifteen co-sponsors fifteen is the goal that marijuana policy project has for this year getting fifteen co-sponsors that's huge and that's huge that people are going to start talking about this now states that are trying to get similar measures can say hey there's a bill in the congress that's doing the same thing you know i mean it is big for the direction of things and there's a lot of other things going on right now that are sort of rallying around the same movement and just to get this bill in there with five co-sponsors is actually a very very big success i had to say so you're going to be pushing for this with students for sensible drug policy but what are you any more optimistic that ad or is here i mean i don't think it's going to pass tomorrow but i do think that this is certainly a step in the right direction this conversation that needs to be had and it gives an opportunity for you know the pie. to their opinions about this issue to their
7:19 pm
elected officials and see what they say and least force every member of congress to take a stand right i mean how how many how many people do you think i remember the congress you think you could reasonably expect to get on as co-sponsors to go to like this we were it's just it was just introduced so there's only is it only five right now well i think that the goal stated by some of our allies that the marijuana policy project at fifteen is a guideline and i think that's certainly attainable and you know i think that as more and more politicians will come out of the closet so to say but their support for you know marijuana legalization you know the less the fear is going to be that there will be negative political repercussions and i'll be able to say to courage you know that they their supporters and their constituents will be behind on if they vote the right way on this and i said you know a lot of the old fogies in congress might be you know prohibitionists that want don't want to take the stand for the constitution which by the way was written on what was it again and paper yeah ok so no wonder they don't want to take a stand for the constitution or even prohibition but there's been some talk that
7:20 pm
this might be a negative thing for ron paul running for president but we know that in presidential campaigns so many people who get out and knock on doors and do the legwork and do the exciting really visible things that get people excited about a candidacy are the youth are there is there anybody from our generation who's got that same prohibitionist streak i mean i've never i mean it's really rare to hear people under thirty advocating for marijuana to be a legal right it's hard to make that argument and that's the important thing is it was for bills like this is to make people try to make that argument and try to say that there should be a reason that we should have we want to tell you what you can and cannot put your body and expose it is that exactly and put them on the record as trying to make so you know that one of my favorite arguments is oh well we're you know this is going to make it easier for kids to get marijuana know it's easier now is it all right in this instance been illegal in some it's easy. to get that it was when it was legal
7:21 pm
but exactly do you think this is going to be some of the ron paul can use now to attract young activists to support the presidential campaign cheryl i mean it's not the first time that ron paul has taken a stance on drug policy issues he's been an outspoken advocate against the failed war on drugs and i think that a great job you know bringing that issue out into the public i think that it will help him you know if young people turn out and vote in the numbers that that we should and i think that you know the policy will reflect that i think that we can really get some serious marijuana reforms and if you know young people and students just get out there get registered and turn out in the polls like older generations do and i think that's has a really good chance thanks so much for joining us and i say chicago is an hour of science for sensible drug policy i'm anderson are with young americans for liberty all right obama secretary of state hillary clinton is taking a page from the bush administration playbook united are not a divider we would not know about one you're either with us or against us yeah that
7:22 pm
one in a brief stop in jamaica she said about lawmakers questioning the funding of obama's intervention in libya by asking whose side are you on she went on to say that the obama administration is correctly taking the side of the libyan people never mind that this is the side against the united states constitution against the civilians in libya killed by recent nato airstrikes and against every unemployed american who would rather not be taxed to support obama's imperialism not that we needed her to say it explicitly to figure it out but now we know whose side hillary clinton is on all right in some other ron paul campaign related shenanigans time magazine recently had a poll their web site called bracketology maybe it was the only way to get obama's attention let's put that up on the screen all right here you have it so there it is the republican candidates you have. mitt romney of course. very prominently
7:23 pm
featured there the insiders on the left and you have the outsiders on the right this is a this is a really fun thing because you can click through and you can see how i filled it out here we've got i think huntsman would be romney we've got we've got another one there newt gingrich versus unknown michele bachmann ron paul sarah palin versus mccain not that he's even officially in the race yet and of course i ended up putting ron paul there as the g.o.p. nominee click submit nominee and this is what comes up if you see if you look at it now you get the actual poll results that have ron paul way out front in a massive lead but there was a bit of a glitch that. time magazine apparently time dot com maybe it was just a technical error yesterday because you can see in this poll mitt romney has a mere twenty six point eight percent and yes both ron paul supporters and mitt
7:24 pm
romney supporters have been jumping over this to you know get their candidates numbers up but for the past just for about twenty four hours yesterday instead what you saw was this the poll that showed ron paul it is fifty two point nine and mitt romney at forty seven point one percent so it doesn't look like a computer glitch when all of the other candidates were just sort of accidentally lumped in with mitt romney. parent leave there was some internet heat brought to them and they fixed the glitch and today as of this afternoon we're still unavailable for comment on the issue so. joining me now is our own adam vs the man military analyst jake negative neo-con nancy delivered so over the past week many adam vs the man viewers have been talking to
7:25 pm
jake about a segment we did with with our own craig dixon called those damned ron paul people take your response. well folks over the last week there's been many of you ron paul supporters and you've been e-mailing me tweeting me facebook me and i even received a few random phone calls and generally everybody's mad at me they're mad that i would call for compromising the most radical e-mail received was in response to what was said regarding the legalizing of heroin to all of us ron paul supporters let's just be clear the few things first if you want to win if you want and if you want to win you have to think about winning you can want your weed all day long you can claim liberty and arco capitalism all day you can call for the legalizing of heroin prostitution and you can dance the night away in the jefferson
7:26 pm
memorial and you can yell hoot scream and campaign all day for ron paul but here is the fact of the matter heroin weed prostitution and dancing are not winning issues secondly demonizing policeman is not a winning issue making trouble with the t.s.a. is not a winning issue if you want to win people if we want to win you have to want and if you want ron paul as your president if you want libertarianism in general to be seen as a reasonable reasonable political movement you need to quit doing dumb crap you need to quit yelling for weed heroin dancing and stop bad talking cops you need to stick with issues that are winning issues low taxes keeping the government out of your personal life and reclaiming individual freedom those are winning issues keep on that message and you can stop yelling about specific specific details and that
7:27 pm
is a winning strategy say freedom and everyone likes you if you say legalize heroin no one wants to listen to you it's a matter of choosing your words and making winning decisions. i say this to all of you you can choose to be right and lose or you can be wise with your words and when well that's a decision you will all have to make but i'm here to tell you that if you keep going down this road yelling about heroin dancing cops and weed and the democrats and the neo cons will continue to dominate american politics well thank you for that sake but you know on this show how many of those issues are. we did we talk a little bit about dancing. we have really got into heroin that much we do talk about weed a lot. what you want is my cops you know you like so i guess i guess occasionally we point out some of the horrendous anti freedom things that cause the autos and a whole lot of second and. your voting for ron paul. for obama
7:28 pm
and now you're voting for ron paul if ron paul wins the general election and with the primary and you're on the phone so maybe maybe those are winning issues they they are not winning issues to the general populace oh so what are you some kind of freak out that you represent of the center right i am of the center right and i represent the populists i'm a social conservative i'm very much do not stand like you have been dragged kicking and screaming into the ron paul crazy camp and i will vote for ron paul and you are a member of veterans only sorry but your points are well taken we look forward to the viewer feedback on takes forever we have a couple other issues you want to cover you were right about about obama's speech yesterday you get to do your little mainstream media tour congratulations. and you could point out that the day before you were right on target you said eight to twelve thousand within the next year and he said five in five thousand so. the indication is that were people oh yeah i would get all kinds of hate mail i he's
7:29 pm
not going to do this or he's going to do this and the other no it would feel a little bit we we actually have a military analyst better than then than most of the mainstream but you know i also have a couple quotes you want to share from you from from a story. this is from the wall street journal straight talk from the top enlisted marine sergeant major speaking to troops in korea of all places let's put that first quote on the screen article where he was asked about don't ask don't tell in article one section eight of the constitution is pretty simple it says raise an army that says absolutely nothing about race color creed sexual orientation you all join for a reason to serve our nation right right right. oh you're i think united so next one here you go on the next quote we have from the start a major how dare we then exclude a group of people who want to do the same thing you do right now something that is honorable and noble right right sergeant major who wants. one more here from the from the sergeant major the marine corps sergeant major barrett.
