11:36 pm
u.k. if congress starts cutting social security and medicare benefits you can respond to us on facebook twitter and you tube and who knows your response just might make it on air. well some interesting new details are coming out about how fox news came to be what it is today and believe it or not the details are emerging from archives belonging to both presidents nixon and george h.w. bush see roger ailes started his reign of terror as a media consultant for these two former presidents and the concept of fox news emerged while he was working for the nixon administration ailes and his peers wanted to create programming that was pro administration and then offer that up as an option to what he viewed as of course the liberal slanted media that was already all over the airwaves now this original concept was supposed to be filmed and aired straight out of the white house and written and produced to be pro nixon news the documents are over three hundred pages long here i think this paragraph or one of the first pages of the treasure trove really gives you the gist of what ailes was
11:37 pm
looking for and a section that he titled a plan for putting the g.o.p. on t.v. news else wrote the following today television news is watched more often than people read newspapers and people listen to radio than people read or gather any other form of communication the reason people are lazy what television you just sit watch listen the thinking is done for you so ladies and gentlemen i think we found the keystone of g.o.p. television ailes straight out admits the people are lazy and they purposely go to t.v. where the thinking is done for that hence the brainwashing involved in all the g.o.p. led news and all of the mainstream media news obviously ailes original white house plan didn't come to fruition but he got something even better from his evil brain child and it's. called fox news he took the exact same ideology that he wanted to originally used to project nixon ideas and he just augmented it to cover all conservative views on issues and that whole fair and balanced motto that was said to offer up the alternative to liberal media bias now all seem to attack that
11:38 pm
president nixon that was decades ago and now ailes brain child for a g.o.p. news channel has brought us all the right wing ultra conservative commentary that we've come to know today whoever leaked all those state department documents to the wiki leaks website is a traitor and should be executed or put in prison for life so if you want to believe that garbage you go right ahead you are voting for obama by the way this is a pro bubba book this is not so you are voting for obama and i'm not here to do obama's stop and you will use it when you say he would be insulted either you are in c. talk to me i don't hear your estate these are hannity talking points he had a sharp stick that he was a short teachers and others he said quote get away from me you and then a word that starts with i say one hundred percent pepper spray you do manson and some parenting classes i am not a journalist i'm just a guy who cares. i'm sorry i'm just a guy who cares an awful lot about my country and i think you do too. well there
11:39 pm
you have it what started out as a method to promote nixon's ideas and feed the media pro-administration stories has turned into what we now know as fox news with all those crazy hosts that we just showed you so thank you roger ailes for giving us the least fair and balanced network that has ever existed on television. all five states have now enacted strict immigration laws arizona began the for last year but since that utah indiana georgia and now alabama have joined the ranks and it turns out that they're already feeling the pinch see last week we told you that hispanic populations are fleeing from georgia before this law goes into effect on july first and farmers instantly found themselves without a workforce to pick the crops. that . georgia will now alabama whose law is said to be the strictest in the nation they're experiencing the same
11:40 pm
thing. gathering the things we like for our dinner table is high but hard work and somebody has got to do it sometimes it's difficult to find local folks that are willing to do some of those jobs that's what we found out about half a dozen south baldwin farms immigrant work alabama's law criminalizes not only employing undocumented immigrants but also assisting them providing transportation or housing and renting for the farms may not be alabama's only problem as reconstruction efforts are much needed after tornadoes tore through tuscaloosa just weeks ago and advocates of this bill say that it's meant to put alabamians back to work but will they do that work or is once again show the undocumented immigrants are a backbone of this economy here to discuss this with me is immigration attorney eleanor pelted with morgan lewis and baucus law firm on our thanks so much for being here tonight you're welcome so you have spoken about some of the. last before when it first popped up in arizona and of course there was
11:41 pm
a lot of debate around the country a lot of people were angry there was a lot of opinions that this is prejudice law but now it seems like that fear has actually turned into an actual populations are fleeing these states and you expect that to happen well i'm not surprised to see it happen particularly in alabama alabama is like arizona on steroids you don't have to look very far to see the venom in that particular law. the law prohibits citizens from helping other citizens if they reasonably should have known that the other citizens of the state are undocumented the law requires public officials to report on school children who they think might be illegal it really is a very vicious piece of legislation to me it goes far beyond trying to bring jobs back to americans and dealing with you could say is the undocumented immigrant problem with the fact that that's just inhumane especially in areas like this where
11:42 pm
there were just so many natural disasters you can't assist somebody if they might be undocumented that's exactly right and i think what the alabama law shows is that this is really a civil rights issue it is it is not just an immigrants rights issue it's an issue that has to do with preserving human rights and human dignity and i think that's really the alabama law stripped bare otherwise it sounds like it's telling you to let the person just lay there and allow them to dive more and his wife and children where are these people going instead if they're fleeing from georgia if they're fleeing from alabama just other nearby states that haven't adopted any of these measures well it's hard to know where they're going but i do i don't believe that they're going home they're really just retreating further into the shadows which really doesn't help anyone it doesn't help our economy it doesn't help us raise wages it doesn't help people come out. the shadows and pay taxes and contribute to the economy and it really just shows the problem with this kind of state patchwork
11:43 pm
of laws if you have one state enact one law and another state enact a different law you're just going to have people move from state to state instead of having one unified balanced approach that really kind of deals with the problem in a comprehensive way what do you think that this can finally fuel that fire to get comprehensive immigration reform back into the talking point if suddenly we see states being hurt and hit by their economy. that again you know you might see other states then being upset because they suddenly see an influx of immigrants coming in well that's exactly what the problem is with these state by state initiatives and i think it does send a very strong signal to congress and the administration that something finally needs to be done to address the issue and what needs to be done is a very kind of balanced approach we need certainly to improve our in forstmann but we also need to do something with respect to the population that is here and
11:44 pm
contributing to our economy also alabama is saying that this is really easy because alabamians are now going to take this job this is a job creating. immigrants bill but do you think that alabamians are actually going to go out into the fields and to do the farm work as well as of course some of the reconstruction work i think you've put your finger on the problem with that analysis immigration and employment are really not a zero sum game you can't really empty out a factory of immigrant workers and expect there to be full employment for american workers in that same factory the next day and that's been illustrated time after time when there's a raid on a particular business and immigrants are picked up and often those businesses shatter because there really are no workers who are willing to come and do those jobs a perfect example of that is the town of postville in iowa where the economy essentially came to a crashing halt. because there was a major raid on a meat processing plant and those people essentially went home there was nobody to
11:45 pm
take those jobs there was nobody kind of buying things in the community and keeping the community economy going after that why i think probably you know one of the ways that people think about this is they think that if you don't have that cheap labor around anymore then you're going to be forced to raise wages and then americans will want to take those jobs because it'll improve the entire situation right you won't have an underclass of workers anymore but if all the other companies out there right now if wall street isn't hiring everyone else isn't hiring them then why would these companies want to start paying people even more impaling higher wages well i think if we have comprehensive immigration law employers will be forced to pay appropriate wages to all workers including those who were previously undocumented and i think that that would ultimately raise wages across the board for all workers in all levels of jobs so i think the argument really in terms of raising wages is an argument in favor of comprehensive
11:46 pm
immigration reform and not against it interesting i hope i hope that you're right in that sense because you know we keep hearing that that that's the argument for not raising taxes because the more capital that these businesses have the more people they're going to hire but instead they're just sitting on it and they don't end up hiring anybody and then punishing the rest of america are there any other bills that we should know about that are being drafted right now well nikki haley in south carolina just signed a very similar bill in south carolina it's similar to the arizona bill it basically requires law enforcement officers from the state of south carolina to. stop someone and request information about immigration status if they reasonably believe that someone is undocumented now of course how a person can reasonably come to the conclusion that someone is undocumented is anyone's guess and our worry is that it really kind of is an invitation to racial profile. i want to thank you very much for joining us tonight eleanor the one that really baffles my mind is that you are not supposed to help anybody if you think
11:47 pm
that they might not have documents and that's that's just horrible and inhumane and that thank you so much thank you. i still come tonight tonight excuse me he compared them to children and tonight we're giving them are told time award but our lack of leadership and then stick around for happy hour and that's n.b.c. suspend the contributor after he calls obama a derogatory name for the male anatomy and we say goodbye to the big crybaby over rocks in the back i'm still. hungry for the full story we've gone to. the biggest issues get a human voice ceased to face with the news makers. spending the year in iraq is military journalist. we still in the u.s. . there's kind of wasting their time trying to get killed.
11:48 pm
i thought oh was willing to give the life. to be about twenty seven days to publicize and invite. who. started the beat of the dialogue. chanting the slowly we've seen since the. time for sides told time of war to. and we're giving it to the entire one hundred twelfth u.s. congress the senate majority leader harry reid announced today that he's canceling
11:49 pm
the july fourth week long recess to stay in washington in hopes that lawmakers can reach a deal on the debt ceiling issue is that nice congress actually has to come back to work next tuesday and work instead of taking another week off now i'm sure that pissed off a few lawmakers who probably had the troops lined up at the family or maybe a fundraiser back in their districts but why this sudden change of plans by senator reid oh yeah maybe with this comment by the president mostly in saussure. generally finish their homework a day ahead of time. thirteen sauciest him. it is impressive. they don't wait until the night before they're not pulling all nighters. they're the. they're thirteen until. yes it took a presidential scolding to get lawmakers to think about doing their job he actually
11:50 pm
had to call grown members of congress elected by you and i he had to call them children to get them to actually go back to work but the sad thing is that children probably spend more time in school than members of congress really do working take a look at this info that we found today so for all of two thousand and ten members of the house were only in session for one hundred and twenty one days and the senate hundred fifty nine days that's less than half the year so far this year and by the way this year will be the half half over by tomorrow the house has worked seventy five days and the senate's only seventy six so where can i sign up for this job you make around one hundred seventy thousand dollars a year you only have to come to the office half the time now to illustrate my point even more than it was scheduled to be out of session next week and then go on recess for an entire month starting august sixth in the house of representatives has been off eight weeks already this year including this week did you get eight weeks of vacation so far this year because i started it so how the hell is washington supposed to solve any problems when nobody works that's why we haven't
11:51 pm
passed a budget in so long that's why we're giving the hundred twelve us congress our tool time award for being absolutely useless oh and for the record while i'm not in the active member of congress i am taking monday the fourth of july off i'm the break from covering this insane gridlock that they cause. ok it's time for happy hour tonight and joining me this evening is our t.v. producer jenny churchill and j.p. frere senior communications strategist at new media. you have your own olives keep your hands allergy one and more. ok so today is the end of an era and i couldn't be more excited but let me show you him talking about.
11:52 pm
g.v. and radios there is a strange alliance between the left and the islamicist that we're seeing i think it's all part of the coming insurrection the progressives want to do in the first place collapse the system and start all over again you know how much money rupert murdoch is you know he's got all these things going on you think he's going to let a guy at five o'clock say you a bunch of stuff put this together it's completely wrong and stay on the network. yeah that's exactly what i think is that he's going to let you go out there say a bunch of things that are completely wrong and stay on the network where you get the whole story about roger ailes and how he started planning this way back in the nixon days but are you as happy to see that go as i am or are you sad inside i thought it was sad when we first found out it was going off air because it was such a goldmine for us i mean our best episode in my opinion ever was or how we got this out where you pretended to be him but he's kind of ok i'm sorry you were him he's
11:53 pm
done nothing for us you were that interview all of them back there ever was. and you got to kind of going to the whole i prefer to have the last six months i didn't even revisit my impersonation day i didn't think it was worth it you know i i mean look this guy this guy has a has a show that has a following fox i think they scored a homerun when they brought him on because he had a he already had a following and that's what you want when you bring people on the show you know i'm just that i will no longer get to hear your rants about his rants you know it's very you know but i think that your media criticism what you brought to the table was really possible because he brought it to the table and that's the thing that's making me really so you're saying i will have a job or i know you want to talk about if it wasn't for know that there are plenty of things that you'll be able to comment. and i just specially enjoyed recalling that when i heard it i actually enjoyed it you know. it was fun in a mess that i have to find another target i mean although he was running out of new ones because you kept on ripping them so. i hope there are multiple ok so let's
11:54 pm
move on to something else that i haven't today on t.v. and this was on morning joe on m s n b c when some not nice things were said about the president take a look around the seven second delay say. i want to characterize how i thought the president behaved if you think we have it we can be is that right alex yeah sure yeah take it go for it but he was kind of a dick yesterday oh my god delay that. the way that what do you do it i think the president i can't i can't believe i was you know. we are so the messed up thing about this story is of course that it was just barbara there was a game on in telling him to do it and they're like yeah we have the delay and then once he said he goes i can't believe you actually did it he will meet it and mark halperin even though it was a bad comment is the one that got indefinitely suspended and nothing happened joe scarborough but. sorry sorry last last word i want to say about this and we were talking about this all morning is that i understand you're not supposed to say
11:55 pm
things like that there's a certain you know fake decorum that's involved in washington but it boggles my mind that people can go on fox news that they call people socialists and nazis and baby killers you know and that's all that's ok but then a cuss word isn't i mean there's a certain there's a certain level of professionalism you're going to expect from the guy that you know is often doing stand ups and part of the white house and also i mean i will also note that joe scarborough show is one of the best shows on and this n.b.c. i mean i really love it but joe is always yelling at me i mean you know they're the the media and they're going back and forth all the time to think that this is like a tip of the iceberg just kind of i don't know if they didn't have to go alone to this. no i mean honestly if i want to think i just wrote i have two things to say about this one joe was horrible and vibrating and he should know better and to hear mitt afterwards that he had every intention of him saying that on air and that he wanted it to happen which you know whatever but i don't to say i kind of give
11:56 pm
somebody a little credit because at least they do stick to a standard they have a standard that they regularly enforce as far as kind of being the image they want but do you think it was something of a dick for doing that or mark halperin was a bit of a dick for doing that i mean which one was actually i think joe's more was like. what are you the question i'm not any sort of god is here about it and i'm not i'm not calling anyone anything ok i think that they both had fun i think whatever yeah but it wasn't about the word that he used it was who he was referencing was that was you can call anybody else a word but when it comes to the president what i like are you going to have a point during the segment that everyone has either is or is going to start cussing up a storm so you can call bear was here in washington state out on capitol hill but he was at the f.e.c. because he's trying to start a super pac and look at what actually happened moments ago the federal election commission made their ruling. ladies and gentlemen i'm sorry to say. we
11:57 pm
won. the crazy thing to me about this is that when we see steven called there on capitol hill before now we see him here at the f.e.c. and i mean he's a comedian right it's all part of entertainment but then suddenly you can see how far it actually goes to where he's essentially done something that's a groundbreaking where now the federal election commission has granted him his own super pac and a lot of people are you know worried about that his own super pac and basically free commercials for it during his show i mean i think that this is a little over the line and i think that it's crazy that it started out i'm assuming as him making a joke about how you can just by our entire like talk process these days and now he's actually doing it and i find that kind of ok people spend more on potato chips than they do on campaigns in america ok it's not it's not a diet american average in radio ok ok what about corporation you know what i'm
11:58 pm
what i'm saying is that you know if the premium is that low in comparison to other things that we consume really not that big why did i get a bigger and nobody does it the concern is that he's part of the you know they think of this opens the door to media organizations so then you can have employees of those media organizations who are anonymously donating and it becomes you know a bit of an ethics i i hear what you're saying i think that there are so many other i mean this is stephen colbert doing something a little bit silly we have governments trying to trying to enforce laws preventing citizens from banding together and having political speech we have governments trying to undermine how people campaign and run against incumbents we have governments doing things like this i am less concerned with stephen colbert doing the silly licit he's done but i'm not sure that i'm going to tell you. that you're going to still bothers me is that we have governments state governments are trying to tell people they should leave someone on the side of the road and let them die and you think i mean i hear you. our guys thanks for joining us tonight thanks for
11:59 pm
joining and it makes me come back tomorrow that we take a plan from unity a strategy for giving back for our friday edition of happy hour and we have time to forget for a fan of the a lot of shell on facebook and to follow us on twitter and if miss any of the night's show or any other nights you can always catch telling you to dot com slash the our show coming up next is adam vs the. i was just thinking about my future before the foreign companies came i dreamed of owning a can cut in factory. but we have less garbage now. some
