part of it and realize that everything is ok if you don't i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. see. we are. and yet. i. feel for the first full. length. let's not

forget that we had an apartheid museum right here. i think either one of well. we never got the book says they're keeping safe get ready because you're going to her freedom. all right it's time for show and tell on tonight's program last time we told you

that the southern poverty law center had just placed kentucky senator rand paul on its list of extremists connection with his feelings against the civil rights act so i wanted to know what you thought is around all of three minutes what's going to producer for truth in a century to find out what you have to say is senator rand paul an extremist well there's other in poverty law center they think so and they put him on their list after he said that private businesses should be allowed to discriminate by race as dance that led many people to ask liked what was he thinking so what do you guys think do you think he should be labeled an extremist because of his stance on the civil rights act well eric said all the freshman in the republican congress and senate are extremists so if we're to eric that list would be huge march said being added to a list is a modern day backhanded character assassination then to say that the southern poverty law center things everyone is a right wing extremist if most of our viewers come away thinking he was

a racist not was he taken out of context no one thought that either but a lot of people are missing from this conversation is that rand paul's point of view is pretty standard libertarian one so would that make all libertarians extremists in the eyes of the as b l c no my view the problem is a restaurant owner saying you can't bring a firearm in here isn't the same as i'm saying you can't bring a black or gay person in here about people and it's to his credit rand paul didn't manage to say every fiber of my being doesn't believe in discrimination maybe they should have just left it at that or maybe he should have people to look. to what he believes before jumping on that libertarian bandwagon. all thanks for giving us your input and here's our next question for you we just discussed the fact that after more than a year wired finally released the full child logs between bradley manning and

eternal about getting a lot of critique for it forces close relationship to limo is making some speculate as to whether he was protecting it and after a year in some of the lies that limo has spread in the media beyond we want to know what you think about why or do you think the wired magazine should have released the full manning limo chat logs earlier you can respond to us on facebook twitter and you tube and who knows your response just might make it on it. now while we watch congress huff and puff over debate a debt ceiling debate and republicans consistently insist that tax cuts must be completely off the table let's take a step back into reality let's take a look at two polls that show us what americans really want a new gallup poll finds only twenty percent of americans want to debt deal that includes only spending cuts but just one full won't tell you all of quinnipiac poll finds that only twenty five percent of voters believe that the debt deal should include only spending cuts and in fact sixty seven percent of voters not going to be at all believe that it should include an increase in taxes for the wealthy and

for corporations so if you listen to the people sounds like they're asking for a little bit of that real shared sacrifice the politicians only speak of but never act on how much higher with these numbers because americans knew about the true disparities in wealth in this country so currently income inequality in the u.s. has reached its highest level on record and estimated one per cent of the population holds fifty percent of the country's wealth the richest twenty percent holding eighty four percent of that wealth a numbers are startling to many americans that may not know the big zits as a study last year that when americans were given a choice to look at a chart of wealth distribution they deeply underestimated the reality and ninety two percent even shows we've insistent over ours so how do you get people to wake up. we're aware i've got a co-author of the study then areally who's a professor at duke university and a behavioral economist he's also the author of the upside of irrationality so i first asked him if he was surprised by the results of his wealth distribution

survey where most americans preferred sweden for their own country. so you know i wasn't surprised people were as clueless as they were. was true surprise me in the study so basically you know we asked people to tell us what do you think is the ideal wealth distribution we asked them to estimate what's the u.s. wealth distribution and people were dramatically missing it but we also asked them to say what do you think you will do what should you should of a country that you would want to join and people drew kind of relatively equitable distribution that was the first surprise but the biggest surprise was that there was not much difference between republicans and democrats they're still surprising you look at what's happening around you in washington and you say my goodness republicans and democrats can't seem to agree although we started the street to walk but it turns out at least in our study if you talk about with people about good deep down beliefs street politics there's no words about political you know

there's no one type of taxes or death tax so wealthy and poor it's just a question of what do you think is a just society a society that you would want to join people end up quite similar to that that was the big surprise for me now do you think that it's in a politician's interest perhaps to tell americans or at least convince americans that they are so polarized and on such opposite ends of the spectrum they can actually realize what they have in common is that why they constantly seek our let's say some of those wedge issues rather than a greater economic look at equality. i think so i think that politicians basically use words of you skate in obscure deep beliefs they're trying to cover it with words that give them more power and more differentiation from there on your party and because of that i think we have a bigger difference in the bigger it's estimated difference not belief in our

actual beliefs and you know recently we've done the same study you're talking about in australia and we did it there a couple of months ago and people are strong research our partners thoughts that the australians would be even much more equitable than americans at the end of the day they'll look a good muslim americans. you know don't have the same wealth inequality we have but in terms of their beliefs about what's right. and what's really what society would want to join you seem to be quite similar to us so why do you think it is that americans are so awfully unaware of the realities of the fact there you know our income inequality has now reached record levels in this country. so i think there's a couple of reasons the first one is that we don't see the wealth inequality if you live in new york you have a chance to see how the very wealthy people and how the very poor people people live but if you live like me in durham north carolina i just don't see the same

range of the income differences i live in a neighborhood it's not the university professors almost everybody is the same you don't really see the range of inequality dramatic range of inequality the very rich kid pollute selves and the rest of us don't get to even understand the scale of inequality the thing is there in the us there's a deep belief. about the phrase that the opera is not over until the fact lady sings and it turns out that when we ask people to think about a world in which there is more social mobility in which where you are born doesn't determine where you will end up under those conditions people are happier with more income inequality and i think one of the things that has happened in the us is that people are convinced themselves and others. there's not social mobility here really it's so you know we americans pride ourselves on this idea that in this society doesn't matter where you born you can achieve anything it turns out that some cases

of that of course but it's not really the standard case the standard case is not only which were you born really determines to a large degree where you end up it's not really escaping dramatically those consequences if you don't go to finish high school your terms are not very hard if you don't go to a group university or college so there's lots of things that really matter but when people believe they live in a society with more sauce. if you live in a society with high social beauty and you choose to be poor it's your choice it's nobody else's fault you just you chose to end up you know you couldn't you could have pushed up because there's no restraint from god so if you don't also helps disbelief bit we should cooperate more income inequality than we actually have but do you see those attitudes changing at all for example you first started conducting a survey in two thousand and five i know that you've updated throughout the years through the financial crash now we are in this great recession as people are

calling it and you know some people are saying that the american dream in itself is dead for a lot of people out there and even from these polls that i mentioned earlier where americans are finally saying you also need to raise taxes in order to solve our budget problems does this mean that we're seeing some kind of an awakening. we don't see that breeder showing big awakening yet i think that because of how worse things are going to gets. right now it looks like people are really there's no question people are suffering there's no question people are doing low end of the scale are incredibly musical you know when we talk about the income inequality and we say how much wealth does the top twenty percent have as most people understand it's about eighty five to ninety percent of the called the wealth is held by the few at the top but when we ask people how much wealth is being held by devote them forty percent people dramatically overestimate me people think it's four five maybe ten percent of their wealth is held by the bottom forty percent of americans it

turns out it's all point three zero point three percent of the wealth is owned by the bottom forty percent of the american so we dramatically underestimate what's happening at the bottom at the bottom end and the problem with the bottom end is those people got to solely vote yet we do our best interest in mind especially not in terms of taxes a good politician can hold on to words like family values. general words we've not so much meaning behind mourdock and talk about abortion because all kinds of things are getting his people excited without actually thinking about what is in their financial but it's interesting i think because of now we don't see the level of rebellion people should have ayelet and i thank you very much for joining us tonight of course will see if finally there's tears and updating some tipping point at some point say are for americans are going to continue to be perhaps naive about it thank you i think i think the next election is going to be crucial for the next election is going to be largely about taxes and we'll see if we get any action on

that right dan thanks so much. our it's time for our last break when we return he's very afraid of the big banks getting bullied by a pretty good language congressman wins our tools on war and happy hour ron paul has a new apocalyptic campaign out there give that same ball and see the latest trailer run for its money and there's a new religion in town for the path of art. into that only military mechanisms that people would come 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. i would characterize obama

as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so silly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here's some other part of it and realized everything you saw you don't. charge is a big issue. let's not forget that we have an apartheid regime right now. i think the beautiful and funny well.

we never got the good shows never keep him safe get ready because of the freedom.

it is time for tides tool time award and tonight we're giving it to california congressman paralyzed up to the republican is the chairman of the house oversight committee which they held hearings on the new consumer financial protection bureau and that's a new bureau created after the two thousand and eight economic meltdown that's designed to protect the consumer as in you and i what shocker republicans are big fans of this new government agency in fact they're trying to be funded before even before it even gets off the ground but just listen to congressman i suspending on fox business news before today's hearing what the powers our at our age and with the checks and balances will be as you know we're very concerned right that this is it and it cheat is essentially funded around congress and yet it has the ability to fully pay so i guess i was going to ask you do you have a problem with her or the answer. now did you hear what i just heard there oh i said i actually think that professor elizabeth warren and the consumer financial protection bureau might bully the banks the big bad bureau is going to bully the

poor helpless little banks how's. alone i think of the banks and me to be bullied a little bit i'm not advocating for violence here but i think those bakers need to be held accountable for the economic mess that they've created i just don't understand what world there are those living at you know the economic collapse of two thousand and eight can be traced directly back to the big banks and wall street greed and corruption across the board said the u.s. and the world economy into a dive that we're still trying to recover from isis friends the republicans have all gone out of their way to attack professor warren the person the president obama wants to run the new consumer financial protection bureau because they see her as the man or woman simply because she believes that the consumer deserves as much protection as the banks do you see the bureau schedule to begin operating and a week and it still doesn't even have a leader because republicans are go walking a little bit warns nomination and why would i sign his friends on the senate side

to block her nomination well i don't know maybe because warren's role at the bureau would be to inspect the books of the nation's biggest banks and wall street with the washington d.c. establishment on their side they definitely don't want anyone looking at those books so i just wonder what would they find if they did it now think progress pointed out today there are far more consumers out there than there are banks so i wonder what republicans are finally awake up start caring about the consumer probably never since wall street just happens to run washington d.c. but that's why we're giving republican congressman darrell i said tonight's truth i don't ward. ok it's time for happy hour on this evening and joining me tonight as are two producer jenny churchill and alex sites all reporter and blogger for think progress dot org ok guys it's campaign season than one of the things i love about campaign

season is when people put out campaign ads and we finally have one from ron paul take a look. tree . on a plane. with. the large screen in the states of the pictures from. one candidate has always been clear. cut spending well it's the. standing up to the washington. like prince harry store they're. doing that was so apocalyptic like the world is going to end if ron paul is elected president i mean i liked it right i think he just kind of put it in poland things adds to shame he was one upped him but i'm wondering if that's a little unconventional for ron paul who will he usually is the unconventional

candidate to start just doing the same all of hollywood for a thing that everyone else is yeah i actually checked out some of his videos from last time and they look like kind of local cable thrown together commercials for carpet stores or whatnot so this is a big step for him this is like produce and i have expected to see i half expect to see it for harry potter tonight i really could use some explosions maybe some gun fire a car chase i don't know i mean it is a little sad to see ron paul moving away from his you know. kind of low budget production values that i really came to love about ron paul he's just you know i think he's i think he's been turned by the washington establishment making big budget hollywood ads so we'll see how significant this is go big or go home oh maybe because we know here now that he's not going to run again for his congressional seat is going to put all his eggs in the basket of the presidency right now so it's just go big or go home here it is apocalypse we're talking about him so i guess like he's winning there let's just like how we arrived at the

conclusion that his anti-establishment is so ridiculously establishment absolute because. everything is saying it is still a social because he's saying go for your convictions and do not compromise which at the end of the day i'm assuming we are going to compromise all of those kind of a big headache right now this whole debt ceiling debacle of the next thing also g.o.p. presidential candidate michele bachmann she was trying to get her jewish on and look what happened. here's the big issue the president doesn't want to have to be confronted with priorities and spending because he has a lot of chutzpah he spent a trillion dollars on the stimulus it failed. ok how do we properly say it instead of. getting a lot of black for the i don't i mean i don't know is this worse than her mistakes that she makes when it comes to u.s. history and the constitutions that's what she always is you know going on and on and on about what i think is where i don't think she used it correctly i mean it's

basically supposed to mean he's got a lot of balls and she said she was saying things that were kind of embarrassing to him and then he's back. does make sense i mean yeah i mean i think this is a she is worse than the history things because she's really launched on to this whole pro israel approach you bandwagon that a lot of the republicans are saying i'm a better friend of jews than brock obama but she can't even pronounce the word hutzpah which is like the most common you dish word out there she says she is jewish have you not seen that in two thousand and ten she said. and she says i'm not against him but i consider myself jewish because that's the religion that christianity was not because it's politically convenient to say so and it could be you know like i said it was very clearly saw it written first you know just pronouncing the who he was written before they ever heard it in their entire life which is just suggest he's not surrounded by many jews. i think you put your nose

or your whatever whatever that is i can't speak english today and i need to go in for yet. this next one comcast. conference they claim to have the that's just wireless internet and broadband speeds out there take a look at some of the ads that they put out. features. check out the one hundred percent pure broadband power of comcast high speed internet speeds you know i have comcast i'm pretty sure my internet doesn't do that but moving on. there you know it's so it's supposed to be so great and so fast and wonderful but it turns out there's a guy who service has been shut off he's

a thirty nine year old gaming consoles and who lives in seattle and they actually just shut it off because he used too much data apparently he went over the two hundred fifty gigabyte foul line or something and they didn't even warn him they just shut it off i think i got some lights did i think that they had warned him in the past about it i don't think they weren't this time i mean honestly though is how they get you when they start raising your rates and nobody tells you until your bill comes and you will be buried on your age thirty seven and they are calling him about his outrageous status and honestly i mean this is about he was using so much data that it was hurting his neighbors their bandwidth speed was lower because he was using so much and i find it hard to believe that he used all that and with only a few bit torrents i'm sorry that's not. what i go alone and i guess i didn't realize that there was a limit on how much data you can download if your biggest regret it reaches the

limit no normal person would reach the limit that somebody has reached you know two hundred fifty gigabytes a month i mean that's a lot of data and you got to wonder you know what he's already but i was told on hold right. away on his site until i got to the part where the comcast spokesman said this is slowing down the internet of his neighbors and if i was one of his neighbors i would be pissed and then i'm like comcast so i will turn on i get the i totally depends on what your position you're in but i just say that i mean contrast needs to adjust and realize that some people are going to start using a lot of data or developing a lot of point now this next story i just i just love it this guy is. austrian and he's an atheist and he apparently won the rights to be shown in his driving license photo wearing a pasta strainer on his head as his religious headgear which i kind of funny because he claims that he's an atheist but he also says that he had to wear the c. because of his religion but anyway he is he's

a pasta faria and. i like that how great it was that i became a pasta foreign today actually i visited the website there was a section as you want to be a pasta foreign and i clicked in there like congrats you are all you have to do yes and actually i signed up and i'm going to mail the certificate i'm already a pasta party and minister not so pretty that. i don't know it seems a little counterintuitive that there's a religion that's an anti religion but you can still be a member of the religion or whatever but i got to give him props for this it took him like three years he went through all these hoops had to get mentally screened physically screen. so they really tried to not let this screen him to let this thing i did submit a mental evaluation because they thought that he must be out of his mind if you wanted to wear a spaghetti strainer but this whole process for anything is pretty cool so the god is a flying spaghetti monster is like a religion invented to protest you know the teaching of intelligent design in schools or trying to get schools to teach spelling spaghetti monster is

a long way to go on with things you know it sounds fine now it is just one guy who's just trying to get a picture taken for his driver's license some point pasta farin ism isn't going to just cost you a click it's going to start costing a lot of money it's going to be like the next scientology is going to come as we are told and then we will be laughing and if he isn't just saying and i'm warning you more to get a host of her peers and brag that i write downs my theories terry or the board it. will look out there because it could become a big hit to steal your body. and all of it just to punish it for you know i'm going to. be equal in a matter of like thirty seconds but my friends are you guys thanks for joining me tonight show thanks for tuning it out and make sure you come back tomorrow former u.s. army captain matthews deller will be on the show discuss some of those projects the defense budget goes to understand the american people are not getting their money's worth in the meantime don't forget to become a fan of below the show on facebook and follow us on twitter and if you missed any

of the nice or any and i think you know we catch all the you tube dot com slash a lot of show where you can find interviews as well as the show in its entirety that is adam vs the night. with the end of the boer war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared. the risk is not zero that something might be going off by mistake especially a lot of sounds a little nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. focus of the difference to use it as a threat all as an actual event but you know if you keep spinning a trillion dollars a year on weapons of venture you're going to blow everybody up you you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't wake up most

of the weapons are built. that represents all of the firepower of the second world war and this second sound is the equivalent of firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal today. downplayed the official ante up location chobani phone called touch from the point you stop still. launch all she life on the go. video on demand on she's mine field goals an r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. question on the halti job call. if. he he is.
