that pop in to. get up some lectures you a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you've lived something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything is ok if you don't i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. we are broke. and you know. for.

years that we've been apart right. i think. well. we never got there as the safe get ready because freedom.

ok it's time for tonight's chill time award and tonight it goes to republican congresswoman ileana roth lectern at the florida congress i was introducing john bolton out of hearing yesterday before the house foreign affairs committee and both was there to testify about u.s. policy regarding iran and syria so very in her introduction for the former u.n. ambassador a lot of us like that and reportedly said i love john bolton that those who are there said that she said it as an aside after her opening remarks really only ana you'll love john bolton and you have a gravely warmonger i mean come on this is a man who is. a living going on fox news advocating for the u.s. involving ron and to bomb them right now he's been for years and years making claims that iran has nuclear weapons at the u.s. or israel should launch their missiles that's iran and mediately and he's made those claims on t.v.

if we only have days left to attack iran and keep them from getting nuclear weapons or else there are two outcomes one is iran gets nuclear weapons the other is israel or somebody uses military force to stop it that's where we all want to see. the others are you still a kerry force against aspects of your weapons program that you're rainy and once those fuel rods are very close to the reactor certainly once they're in the reactors you say attacking it means a release of radiation no question about it so if israel is going to do anything against you syria has to move in the next eight days if they don't so congresswoman that's the man that you confess your love for during a house committee meeting i mean come on even most republicans think the boldness damn crazy and aren't you really supposed to pretend to have an air of objectivity when someone's testifying before you but understand only on his love for john bolton i think you have to quickly realize he's a crazy neo con herself as we've noted several times on this show. i welcome the

opportunity of having anyone assassinate fidel castro and any leader who was suppressing oppressing the people and. yeah that was the congresswoman actually advocating for the assassination of a world leader she also calls for the u.s. to withdraw much of its support from the u.n. she's heavily criticized the president on his calls for israel to adhere to the pre nine hundred sixty seven agreed upon borders and she probably one of the main reasons that you want i can't travel to cuba so i guess that we shouldn't be all that surprised that it would love john bolton they're both right wing wing nuts so for the elected representative florida congresswoman ileana life in his shameless love for people who just want to bomb all day and bomb all night she's nice to all time where. i was this week a former self appointed spokesman for anonymous fairground revealed another massive spying program by the us he wrote that for at least two years the u.s. has been conducting secretive and immensely sophisticated campaigns of mass

surveillance and data mining against the arab world allowing the intelligence community to monitor the habits conversations and activity of millions of individuals that wants this information comes from the seventy thousand e-mails that were hacked from get intelligence firm h.b. gary if you remember the original controversy surrounding h.b. gary was a firm word with two others and pelletier which collectively made them team found its it was then discovered that they were hired by corporations including bank of america to strike the wiki leaks journalist glenn greenwald and other activist groups but it also found also found within those e-mails was this current surveillance project entitled romans coins was a project that was set to be replaced sometime this year under the new name of odyssey and here companies like google apple and possibly a.t.m. t. were also found to be involved so we say about this operation and what are the chances that it's being used against americans to join me to discuss this is lieutenant colonel anthony shaffer senior fellow at. the center for events in

france saudis and he's also still serving as a return reserve lieutenant colonel tony thank you so much for joining us tonight and for me to have me on so far from looking at these documents and looking at the e-mails and how can you really gather from that what do you what has mass surveillance and data mining really mean in this case but i think the public is naive to the actual level of technology which is available and what's being done i mean by dissing the whole able danger which was the mining project back in the late ninety's early two thousand and what we get then which take a year you can do that in a minute matter of seconds now and the other stuff that i did during a same period when i write a special mission unit at the time was cutting edge and. the operations i ran at the time i feel who are very highly controlled the technology is being applied properly but that is the problem of our society today sec knowledge has moved along

so fast and as you've seen through the h.p. great issue there's tons of things going on here that i don't think anybody actually has a handle on and this is why even now today i call for a very strong crude rational oversight of everything that's being done because i think frankly emerging people have no clue that congress has no clue and this is the tip of the iceberg of what's really going on. well i think i feel like we have to assume that's the tip of the iceberg just because this is only the second half of information's coming out of the seventy thousand e-mails when it comes to only the specific firm really be gary but you know the facts here that google is involved that apple is involved possibly eighteen t. these private corporations that makes me worry to you and these are american companies so do you think that you know what these e-mails are saying is that this is a data mining and surveillance operation of the arab world but looking at the corporations that are involved does that make you think that it's probably going on here against us as well. let me answer that two pieces first i would ask your viewers to think

for themselves think about what is possible and then think about what is probable so if it exists you know someone can do it it's probably being done the question then becomes why and who benefits and one of my good friends jerry duos already issue he always talked about following the money so you know in corporate america there's tons of data mining to actually help companies that are projects or products to do you know us for things for the government you have to look at what what benefits this and i think one of the most frightening things we have to consider is knowledge of who developed to do to do what intelligence i'm not going to tell you we didn't do things against foreign targets we always have so that's the idea we should be doing against foreign targets the problem is that technology is and it doesn't care who it's going after it will go after whoever it is directed to do and there's no inherent safety and ball in developing or filling the

technology so the thing at this point is that i would hope someone besides you or me are calling for folks to investigate what this really means because alan here i saw the pelletier get out like well some third level guy got out of control no that's not that's that's smoking up use creation my guys tell me that pelosi was fully onboard and they were at the forefront of this and they knew so clearly there's deception here and we've got to get to the bottom of what's really going on when we're not. now. of course the reason that we even saw these e-mails was because anonymous originally right after h.b. gary now we have a little security and anonymous teaming up and yesterday they went for their first exam which actually ended up being in arizona the police department there what do you think of those types of attacks you know they also went after emails and try to disclose information put it out there leak it to people do you think that that's where they should be targeting are those smart targets or should they be going for

i don't know frying some bigger fish up there but i think it's all the above i think these guys are out there's no term call privateers done back in the days of the pirates where you had going out and doing things on the open sea sometimes for the government sometimes not i think that's what we're seeing here when i was doing my operations in the late ninety's i had extraordinary gifted what would you call the day hackers and we had to hold them back because they could do a lot more than what we were going to do these other folks have no controls on they'll do whatever they think and the limitation is only what they believe should be their moral compass and frankly at this point i don't think it's a bad thing because because our own government our own system is not able to keep up with maintaining some level of oversight on our own activities these folks in some ways are kind of a robin hood which in a bad thing and for frankly a great kind of brought it on themselves that they almost don't have any i'd ask them to do something so you look at

a snap perspective it's kind of like they have this common and i know it sounds kind of bitter and i probably get some flak for that but i think it's true and anonymous you know whoever they are going to do and i don't you know i don't see them trying to actually destroy the american public or destroy things which i think are valuable i think if you a lot more damage what they're doing and i don't think they're going to get hopefully they won't help anything i think they're probably trying to wake up the american public when they put out some of this information especially without any specific e-mails that you. are you talking about when you find out that our taxpayer dollars are being used to hire these for you know which then work with the large corporations to then people and do this massive surveillance and data mining and that should be frustrating for all americans but i guess of these stories don't get brought up enough least in the media you know the other day we reported of a massive f.b.i. raid in virginia to for some reason nobody else has talked about that story tony i want to thank you very much for joining us and i feel like we're probably going to be seeing more and more of these cases thank you to hear hear. our fireside

friday is coming out rather than if the end of the week so we raise our glasses for happy hour cable news can actually add psychics to predict the future of the economy plus the media goes crazy when bieber gets knocked down on the. internet only a new achievement if you don't work out to bring justice work. i have every right to know what my government should do it want to know why i pay taxes. but i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you know such a story and it seems so full of sleep you think you understand it and then he slips something else here's some other part of it and realized everything you thought you

knew you don't know i'm trying hard to look at the big picture. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime. i think even when the well. whatever government says they're going to keep things safe get ready for for freedom

. to tonight's buy inside your moves. and politics it all comes down to the message what message reasoning to the voters what message are we sending to the rest of the world and these questions in turn usually curried some really big political rhetoric that's neither here nor there so that you can get away with saying something without actually sending any kind of message whatsoever i just think in the particular case of the war in libya kinetic military

action now is the term that the obama administration tried to use to describe this non-hospital non-war before much of the uproar over its legality began whereas they started out by using a vague flowery rhetoric that just made no sense all in an attempt of congress and the american people when they clearly think are idiots now when the plan to get us to support the war is still isn't working it's like they're just going full throttle they're using age old techniques of you're either with us or you're against us let me explain here as we've been reporting to you on this show some members of congress are thankfully questioning president obama and his administration's actions questioning how it is that they think they can just spit on the constitution and start a war without asking congress questioning why they want to acknowledge that it was wrong and just suck it up and ask congress now if this whole thing is blown up rather than overruling justice department lawyers and coming up with a completely non explainable legal explanation also questioning what the hell libya

has to do with us anyway when we're broke our armed forces are. stretched thin and we're tired of endless wars those questions are rightly being raised. but you know how those who are raising them are being treated as bloodthirsty dictator sympathizers secretary of state hillary clinton actually said the following yesterday about members of congress that are questioning the war in libya she said the bottom line is whose side are you on are you on cut off the side or are you on a side of the aspirations of the libyan people and the international coalition that's been created to support that. does anybody else feel like they just stepped into a time machine that took them back to the bush administration the basically told you that if you are opposed to the war in iraq clearly you're on the side is that all i'm saying is that what it's really come down to when your excuses for this war have become so pathetic in your support is dying out but you have to start painting the world as black and white and fear mongering guess what ms clinton according to the latest gallup poll forty six percent of americans now say that they disapprove

of the u.s. military action in libya so what he's saying is i mean the forty six percent of americans think they get off he's a great guy that they hate democracy like kind of logic those types of threats coming from the obama administration as disappointing their offensive or just sad and lame on all accounts and i expected better and as for congress the house of representatives voted down a resolution to defund libya today but they also voted down a resolution to support it so they're back on that typical let's not send any message so everyone's confused and i'm not really sure which i can decide is worse no message or bad message but apparently that's what war fighting has come down to these things. this week young children all across japan went and now because of the earthquake or the nuclear disaster or because they found out the japanese pop sensation i need gucci the newest member of

the japanese idol group a k d forty eight is not a real person. yes that's right there's a beautiful and talented artist was created by computer by combining the best features of eight other pop stars much the shocking disappointment of her during the you know this hoax perpetrated on. the japanese people just kind of got me thinking just how far computer technology is only a matter of time until we the american be able to find out that some of our most brilliant political minds are computer generated as well just this think about it you only see these people on t.v. in fact executives of fox and m s n b c are probably already working on the concept as we speak can just picture it now roger ailes in a bunker under fox studios with a computer engineer working to take the best features of his most popular pundits

and create one so pundit can rule them all all you need is a little dash of bacon kelly a touch of michelle malkin and of course what would the perfect pundit be without a part of and coulter i would imagine she'd be wearing leather boots because that her spew some anti obama venom rail against socialist immigrants just about everyone else and there you go actually great so much sense fox can just remove the middleman and roger ailes can just speak directly to the people you know or fox goes and i said b.c. must follow the law probably have something up their sleeve soon enough to take the whitney humor of jake and rachel the mix it with over the top earnestness of lawrence the anger of dylan today the elitists and of joe and voila you've got the best g.e. spokes person all over now of course we hear it r t you don't want to be left out of this dystopian fun we've also created our own perfect and it her name as a lot of. hope you enjoy.

ok time for happy hour on this friday and joining me tonight is artie pretty suggesting churchill and ave more sense or a reporter and blogger for talking points not up thanks for joining you guys happy friday. you know we've we've spoken a few end of the world series on the show before specially when everyone thought the rapture was coming but the theories never die down especially because we haven't gotten to two thousand and twelve yet and so now here's a new one that apparently was going crazy over on line take a look. at a look at their distance one point eight one two kelly is right now getting near to us by three hundred thousand miles per day and about a week that number's going to be four hundred thousand also per day and it's going to continue to increase you're going to see more and more volcanoes going off that

you're signed away people look you have thirty three book a nose erupting right now in the earth and that number is going to continue to go up as we move along the timeline. is that says woody harrelson from the movie very lucky guys sitting. in the bunker with like twenty twelve or so with one of those end of the world movies oh this is so there's the comic element which is apparently like three hundred million three hundred miles away excuse me but i think it's three hundred i think it's like three million miles away three million that are looking million euro simply it's not three hundred miles away but it was but it's somewhere out there by late august first supposed to be able to see it as like a fuzzy star in the sky that has a little tail so you think of the government hiding it from us. obviously if you knew someone thought would you tell everyone you know you have a bunker for yourself and keep it for yourself what that would do you think it would actually work i mean true confused by the obsession with the end of the world i mean it's going to happen it's not just going to happen there really is going to be i will have side that's the whole i mean the one. in paris so here on the other

side the real world in august when the debt ceiling doesn't get raised. in a way. you are i don't know i kind of like all these asteroid comet stories you guys know. but he later went on in this clip to explain how apparently nasa and the people who work there have been warning their family and their friends but it's been like on secret message boards and i think this guy has actually watched deep impact if you too many times i'm not kidding it's like he's following the plot because this is a pretty good movie too let's move on to something else justin bieber not justin bieber but apparently when justin bieber gets knocked down every really cares it's huge news take a look lever fever hits manhattan and things kind of get out of control with the beaver hitting the ground what went down. like this is a picture taken by a woman in the crowd and other justified them. and toppled bieber he was

knocked to the ground witnesses were stuck. on the was done i mean what's worse that we actually care that somebody tackled justin bieber to the ground or that justin bieber is the person that people want to tackle what i mean the bigger news to me is that ok so we got a lot of news about bieber but nothing about this comment on m.s.n. b.c. if you spend your memories we'll just have to end there justin bieber is on the ground you have to make sure that maybe justin bieber got knocked over because of the comment i think you know the comments clearly affecting her know what was really disturbing was there was another news story that we didn't cover where she was like back where it all happened walking. are you kidding me you sound quarterback have been going to be reporting go back you could use a go write up a conversation we were having this morning but really justin bieber is the one that everyone's going crazy over i say he's so cute and he's not here and he's got a basketball here. i don't know i don't know if you. i think he played in like

a celebrity all star thing with here actually ok c.n.n. doing their hard hitting reporting as always instead of getting an economist on to talk about the future of the global economy work at the liquor and take a look. he has one of the best charts reading the astrological signs of fed chairman ben bernanke she sees hope for the global markets even as key fed economic stimulus and using cards used to tell the fortunes of stories like princess grace and john lennon andrews also sees hope for the u.s. economy actually does help it promising a profitable changes so. carol goal. card the crystal ball what do you guys think is that better than having a real economists come on and everybody has their own theory these days nobody can agree on what's actually going to happen. i think it's better to have me because i got way more enjoyment out of watching that woman talk about burning his charts in

this crystal but nobody knows so what difference does it make really. who would you go to taro card reader rubio what i would about the future of the economy and whether or not on august second the world is going to end because what i'm saying i mean i think i've asked about the comment i think first i think you really just simply cannot tell me there's no news covering the story so i don't know what common story would you know talk to so i mean you know but i do think that you know what is it doesn't seem like there's anybody else who has any idea what's going on with the economy so why not ask these people they seem to have some lunch because i remember i you once were a psychic and you were predicting like things that were going to happen in the e.u. on the show so you know no i think we did a skit about those a while ago i was maybe i missed alone were you right down on the corner so when i read through it i would be. for anybody out there though who thought i really was if i can totally was predicting the future on that one. i don't know c.n.n. has gotten really maybe they're getting really creative lately or maybe they're

right. stories because we were making fun of the pilot and you heard the pilot days grannies and oh yeah yeah they actually did a full report investigating into what a grand day was and they even like a little clip from our happy hour don't go to houston right there to be learned from apparently it is that is the ugliest face you know there is yeah let's move on to our last in our final story it is days every celebrity has a heart of gold and they like to get involved in really important political matters around the world george clooney who has done a lot for four is now on the council of foreign relations and he's been given a lifetime membership because they want more nontraditional voices you think it deserves it so he's on there with. brangelina angeleno that angelina jolie was really unusual in there and you want to you want to she only got a temporary membership two thousand and seven which i believe it's over so you know she didn't get a lifetime in yours she just for junior achievement start focusing on the fate i

think she also has done more than george clooney you know as a doctor shouldered from all of you know i think you got to be i know it was really weird and it was no matter what but you know me by charlie rose and nicholas kristoff you know it's also he's obviously got friends in high places you know i don't want to live in a world where angelina and george clooney are not you know influencing foreign policy and making decisions for me i just don't i can't live in a world like george clooney ran for president would you vote for him i don't know if she would think about becoming i campaigned for him. from kentucky he's good looking say i bet she would. beg for joining me guys and have a good weekend but a night show thanks for tuning in and make sure you can back on monday the baker from the center for economic and policy research will be on the show to discuss obama's meeting with senate leaders on deficit reduction in the meantime to forget become a fan of a lot of show on facebook and follow us on twitter if you missed any of tonight's show or any other nights you can always catch. flash heal our show where we post interviews as well as the show in its entirety and coming up next is adam vs the
