and it seems so for like sleep you think you understand it and then he glimpse something else and you hear see some other part of it and realize that everything is ok if you don't. charge welcome to the big picture. see. and yes oh. fuck fuck fuck. fuck.

the sun. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right here in the lead i think iraq is needed and wanted well lead. whatever government says the bird can from safe get ready because of the freedom.

still time awarding tonight it goes to a few residents of arizona now if you weren't aware arizona has been dealing with several very large dust storms in recent weeks you've probably seen the videos on the news but in case you haven't hear a few clips from phoenix t.v. stations with their coverage. when you're living in yorkshire is it not seem like it was just a couple of weeks or so ago when we were all guy photos videos of a huge dust storm or as we properly call it meteorologically a whole group well maybe now those dust storms or as meteorologists say the hoops they've been playing in the state for weeks but the new york times reports that the word who apparently has a few people in arizona upset the who've it's a term used frequently in the middle east to describe these deaths to arms and that is apparently a little too much fairer zone it's they do not want local t.v.

stations using the foreign word to talk about dust storms several have actually spent minutes maybe even hours firing off angry letters to local newspapers don johnson of gilbert arizona wrote to the arizona republic this letter he said i am insulted that local t.v. news crews are now calling this kind of storm a who how do they think our soldiers feel coming back to arizona and hearing some middle eastern terms also quoted in the daring new york times investigative piece is diane robinson a worker in burke arizona she's also matt she claims of the dust storms interstates are unique herodes excuse me mr weather man who gave you the right to the right to use the word who've been describing our recent dust storm while you may think there are similarities don't forget that in these parts are just as makes with the root of the indians dance the progression of the cattle herd and warning of the rattlesnake as it lifts his head to strike. arizona's just arms are not so unique and they warrant a new me here logic turn i'm sorry newsflash to the people of arizona who is of the

dust storms that have been plaguing your state are called period end of story good news for decades now you know it's almost like these people are scared by weathermen using a middle eastern turn to describe a storm that means muslims are going to rush to arizona and start practicing shari'a law trust me people muslims are not going to start coming to arizona in hordes they seed how you treat his bandmates no other minority group is going to hurry to visit now i almost would've preferred these who haters complained about the fact that they use the word boob in it that way they would look like a bunch of islamophobia just a bunch of brutes so tonight's tool time award goes to the people of arizona who are contemplating the use of the word and a close second for that award actually goes to the new york times who actually put manpower into researching and writing this story i can save them some time with a simple banner headline that read arizona still a state of bigots c'mon guys as much as i love this story maybe this is the kind of stuff you should just leave to gawker. last night thirty seven year old andrew

young was executed in a georgia prison and that entire execution was recorded for the first time in decades a video camera recorded the entire execution and usually that was highly contested in court now we've told you several times on the show about states across the u.s. facing a shortage of a key piece of the lethal injection concoction sodium thiopental and foreign manufacturers of the chemical concoction stop shipping their product to the u.s. because of their opposition to that chemical being used for executions. but rather than halting those executions states decided to improvise they started making modifications by using just pentobarbital that's one of the three drugs that's normally used to execute someone so potential garbage saw is typically used to have lead to date or even kill animals and it's never ever been better early or medically approved in the u.s. to use on humans by itself so not surprisingly defense attorneys for other capital punishment prisoners started to inquire as to whether or not using pentobarbital

alone is sufficient for the lethal injection process they wondered if that will qualify as cruel and unusual punishment at the end of june a lethal injection using just that one drug made a lot of people question just that and people reported that they saw the prisoner jerking his head several times before he died so when the young's lawyers tried again to appeal his death they cited the use of just one drug and a georgia judge decided to fill his execution filled his execution for visual proof of how pentobarbital affects the body during a lethal injection now since john's execution thursday night no reports of come out so far about the prisoner suffering any pain or experiencing any unusual movements or reactions to just using that one drug but the mere fact the judge felt the need to record the execution because of the grave doubts about that drug i think that speaks for itself and even though there has been huge public outcry against using a drug normally reserved for animals on people and eight states have already used it to put eight hundred inmates to death this year that's really shows you how far

states are willing to go to carry out the death penalty states are willing to essentially carry out medical experiments on death row inmates and i just makes me sick to the bottom line here is that this drug is not approved for use alone on humans and states should not be using it period end of story. now does internet piracy actually help the movie and recording industries for this study carried out by germany society for consumer research found through all monitoring the media consumption habits of users of. they found that not only are these users not fit the description we often hear from industry lobbyist things like parasites leeches free loaders whatever other word you can think of they in fact go out they buy more d.v.d.'s they go to more movies and they on average spend more at the box office and they're not on pirating counterparts that's a conclusion that brings much of the copyright legislation the actions of law enforcement have been cracking down recently brings it all into question but here

is the real kicker the study itself was commissioned by entertainment industry lobbyists and it's one that they never wanted anyone to see so what exactly did they have to hide will join me to discuss it is mike masnick founder of the blog attacked her mike thanks so much for joining us tonight i was hoping that you could give us a little backstory as into who commissioned this report and why. it's so it's not entirely your work there. and they don't really want to go public with it but the group it is a lot of work there are in parts of the movie industry so it's so difficult to. so how do you think of a figure this the people that normally download more music or download more movies . they're just more interested they're more more aware they want to see more so they go out and consume more if they get a taste. yeah it's i mean there's been a number of different sort of call shows list this is probably you know at least six or seven that have shown this kind of activity and basically what it says is

that the people who are the biggest fans of music and movies are the people who are the most most active in terms of consuming it both in terms of the authorized ways and the off on authorized ways so you know really what you get a sense of when you look at all of the studies and not just this latest one but all of them is that these tend to be you know the best bands that the industry has to be the biggest consumers and you know the reason that they tend to go for these on authorized sites isn't necessarily that they want stuff for free because obviously they're paying for other stuff but because they feel they're being under certain someone they're not getting a pincheck way or package. and therefore you know this is this is another. it's basically giving a message to the market you know what they're going to look. so you would think that the entertainment industry would be happy about these results that they would

use them to their advantage now they have you know an inside look into a way to make more money but instead they decided to take it out of the spotlight they decide to hide it and try to make it so that this study never actually saw the light of day i'm just confused why would they do that. i mean when you look at it you know the industry's always kind of this this is you know their focus is on keeping control and not you know changing the overall structure of the market where they're kind of. where they have actually advantages in terms of being that big but you know even a situation like this like if they were smart they would look at it and say like well here's an opportunity to recognizing these are under surpassed emerged and you know they're willing to spend if we just sort of the better we can probably make more money but they you know it's just not in their d.n.a. you know they look at it but that's that's a very different way of challenging the market and an attack on the market and that's not the type of thing that. they want to build on says that their old way of

doing. ok so what we're seeing still is a little bit of that inability for them to i don't know joined as the rest of us in the twenty first century to come to reality and realize that the market the entertainment industry the way that people consume isn't what it used to be yeah i mean i think that's you know that's a big part of it you know if you look back honestly at the history of you know all different kinds of. you know one industry likes to refer to it as piracy it's the same thing over and over again it's never as bad as the industry makes it out and it's almost always just an indicator you know where the new technology that's what is allowed to work should ways of distribution and promotion and it's really just a way that the consumers indicate something industry like this is what we want to do you know come and serve us with a better legitimate offer. now of course you said this is the first started to come out with the same conclusion but if that's the case if this evidence has been put

out there then how can we keep seeing more of copyright legislation that while lawmakers decide to approve even if there is information out there that's contrary to why don't we see more journalists reporting on it as well you know that's just part of you know part of the way. part of the way this works i mean part of the this story behind infringement it's always been that it's you know it's such you know i just pure evil that it's you know the absolute equivalent of that after things like that which really aren't true but i think the industry is so committed to that story that anything that makes them up that message even if it would actually help them they just they can't make that shift and i mean it would certainly call into question a lot of the other things that they said and i think you know part of his just they're part of that i mean if if they basically admit that the very basis of what they've been saying for decades isn't true that makes it very difficult to take them seriously in the future and so i think they're just they're just committed to

this line of. thinking that just you know isn't true yeah it's a little embarrassing for them but the interesting thing about this study is that even though they tried to hide it it still came out i guess is that show you the power of the internet you just can't suppress information anymore. yeah but you know it's it's one of those things again kind of to show you know this industry more than anything you know they want to try to unfold that back. yes that they can keep you know keep the internet doing what the internet does best and that is putting information. it's all right but i guess in this case they are they won for a little while but at least now some people are starting to speak all of a four part of course hasn't been released yet mike thanks so much for joining us thanks for having me. well still to come tonight we have our fireside friday and then if that's the way it's say hello it's a happy hour right in chicago gets heat it literally last support airline has a new and very interesting staking video i can do from.

into it only it would be mechanisms to deal with a cut to bring justice or. i have every right to know what my government should do if you want to know why i pay taxes. but i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you know some good to see a story at the scene so. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here's some other part of it and realize that everything is ok if you don't i'm sorry look at the big picture.

let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime. i think. either one well. we never got the that says they're going to keep him safe get ready for freedom.

to tonight's. your. this week the massive prison hunger strike that was taking place in california came to an end and it came to an end in its fourth week when the help of nearly fifty inmates was already failing and some couldn't even hold water down a new war and ended with a very meager and put that big concession that was made by the department of corrections and rehabilitation see what the prisoners one from the department if you can call about are cold weather caps while calendars and a few educational opportunities what they lost amongst many other things was bringing an end to solitary confinement that's something that's rampant in our prisons that's something that by international standards is tantamount to torture

which specialists say can cause severe psychological and physical damage along the prison strike there is and it and thousands of prisoners across the state of california remain in solitary is now learning this week that another prisoner and sylvania has been placed into solitary confinement and that prisoner is leonard peltier that's a man that we've spoken about many times on this show a native american activist a man who was convicted of killing two f.b.i. agents in one thousand nine hundred eighty five who to this day maintains his innocence his trial has been question for decades about his fairness. i knew countless figures around the world consider a political prisoner but this isn't even about health care as a legit innocence or his guilt this is about his treatment here's a man who's sixty six years old he suffers from diabetes from hypertension he's exhibiting signs of cancer according to his doctors and since june twenty seventh he's been in solitary confinement at the u.s. penitentiary lewisburg and he's been ordered to stay in solitary for six months it's something that he's described as a cement steel hot box that's got a lot of

a half inch slot under the door and that's the only source of cool air getting it healthier spends twenty three hours in the solitary cell five days a week with one hour of exercise allowed in allowed in a cage now for the other two days he has to be in a cell for twenty four hours and you want to know why he was put into solitary confinement this according to prison incident reports and tell two years attorney because after receiving a letter from a scottish supporter which contained a twenty pound note healthier trying to return it having money isn't allowed for the prisoners so after the mail room wouldn't take that letter back he addressed the letter to a friend he placed the money inside so he wouldn't be breaking the regulations and that morning guards intercepted that letter they searched his cell i was searching one of the guards decided to reach the top bunk where peltier does not sleep they verily found a wire hanging out which shocked it peltier had nothing to do with this wire but because the guard was shocked by it peltier was found to have engaged in conduct

which just wraps or interferes with security most like in the prison programs own words and assaults on a person so now the ill sixty six year old is sitting in solitary confinement and has five more months to go so what's the point of an ill sixty six year old man really a threat a danger to those prison guards if international standards and psychologists all say this amounts to torture then why is anybody in this country which supposedly does not torture why do we put anybody in solitary confinement. you know it's something the inmates in california are willing to die for to bring attention to this cruel practice so the least the we can all do is spread the word bring a light to this issue stand up and say that it's wrong.

ok it's time for happy hour on this friday evening and joining me tonight is our correspondent lauren lyster and jim hansen retired special operations master sergeant and military blogger at black eye dot net thanks for joining me guys it's friday you basically having us happy friday and every friday ok so we just never really depressing story about people actually being tortured and being held in solitary confinement. look don't get me started on the law getting very rightly or wrongly convicted ball a lot and i think that again that california hunger strike was a. thank you lori i believe yeah they got me going to be going this is actually really depressing and i think it shows that tells you a lot about this country the fact that after all the people were willing prisoners only get diet over it is that they got to be disagreeable who are just rule that it's inhumane the way the prisons are in california we are treating people with rights abuses that are happening on our very own soil and i think it's something that you need to actually deal with but if you want to talk about another human

rights abuse then maybe it is not really as drastic at all but it's happy hour and we try to get back to where you know it's a very here. to look you would have been to a bunch of hotel workers that were striking at the party in chicago. guide. the hired workers say someone turned on the heat lamps typically used in winter over their picket line combined with the outdoor air temperature linda long says it was hotter than the hyatt kitchen she's worked in for eleven years i think surround us like we wouldn't. you know you. can't have the heat lamps were turned off when the press showed up gabriel carrasquillo has been. all right so we know there's a massive heat wave going on throughout the entire country right now and the protests are shows they just turn on the heat lamps horrible how does it do to hold one that's a negotiating tactic i can get but i know how to do it but that's kind of smart that's a really good job is to host your stuff all the garbage up next to put the heat

lamps on it stink i'm right out of there old protest i have to say that all of the things we see happening to protesters and there are some nasty things that happen to protesters this is one of the more creative tactics that we've seen and less harmful than tear gas or rubber bullets or some of the other topics obviously this is a labor strike so just the game and you go she will though it's not good to go oh ok you know but it is no more you know more than we have if we never see any negotiating we never see you know those that are striking actually ladies that should be have you back in the kitchen she worked in the floor then out on the side like these don't win but having done stories on these union lockouts and they were just bits you played dirty to you know of course they do because they they help but they don't win so they don't they don't blast heat lamps on your ass. but sometimes you do the next story these videos always crack me up we've actually shown our audience a couple of them on the show there is one from colorado when john elway was involved as the now the department homeland security has yet another video to talk to you

about terrorism and how you should prepare and how you should always be monitoring and observing and if you see something you should say something but some people have taken note as to who exactly the terrorists are this video take a look. recorded suspicious activity should not be based on a person's religion. but rather on behaviors that seem suspicious or out of the ordinary that. never take unnecessary. we're trying to act as an official investigator when observing the reporting. ok i think there are two big things that going on in this video personally one i think there's a little bit of political correctness going on which is where obviously they're trying to say don't base people just don't look at them or think they're

a terrorist just based on their religion or their ethnicity and that is that which is true but you never doesn't usually see departments say that and the second thing is they're obviously still trying to freak people out and tell them the now obviously homegrown terrorism is such a massive threat you've got to keep your eye out for everybody all the time and read their journal if they're in the subway and use or cell phone that is actually working the subway but i don't think that we have to be that concerned that this veil had that much of a fear scare tactic in part because it is ten minutes long. ten minutes long it was really a guy. couldn't even get the first three minutes i say come on this day and age we want to sound i want to you got to get through it to the. who's the terrorist yeah you guys like me and my friends of the terrorist and it was minorities and women who were turning as it was also that was of use a political correctness you are absolutely dead on and i think it's wonderful that they're going to point out that the bulk of terrorism is committed by white american males you're not being sarcastic ray you're being honest. i think oh come

on how many you know you know how do you live in a house that you see only massive character talk about timothy mcveigh be talk about it talk about it. again jerk love there was not so you talk about terrorism but i don't say that god doesn't exist amongst activity and a lot of times it's f.b.i. it's entrapment trap the it you. know like terry didn't mean you can buy terrorism only for ninety five percent plus were killed by most of the vast majority of the ills according to you know according to people who try to see the reality where over what period and i tell you i want to see the statistics because that's not true but fine if you want to go down that road things talk about the fort hood shooter who. actually mentally crazy do you call him a terrorist or just a not so what he was shouting allahu akbar as he was to give a powerpoint presentation. we were going to hit and discriminating against muslims he made a point of using the reason he wasn't called before and it's because people were scared to say anything about it. because i became

a political correctness is because they weren't that good but like i move there i'm just i'm a puppy i guess and they're always characterized as a tariff i think it's good that there's finally some action and you know we got really have a minute to having two stories so really quickly let's make my attend college take up. not just what i took out. i shipped on the cover. i moved a little stake it's your direction joining me from the experts wrong. all right so we couldn't show you there is that he actually used images from the miracle on ice where the american team won game now a.b.c. wants to see where it was stupid as working on his campaign that would have found that if you can use that well they're using a fair use excuse and think it might be covered and i'm just really perplexes how this going to apply to a political ad i mean if this was used in a journalistic way i would kind of understand it but come on. this is what it

should be easy to clean because who is temple and i'm going to vote on anybody but obama i have no clue when to even is so i got into this nobody is trying to sell itself and nobody wants to know who he is can we play this last clip really quick but we can you keep your seatbelt fastened throughout the night but if you do you need to get out and take a seat down kind of thing that simply can't run in the last place so you get a nice new zealander trying to tell you to be safe because you have nothing to hide so they just painted their body like that i do like that but here is my problem with that i couldn't tell that they were painted i was i spent the whole first half of it no no no i mean that's not close it looks like the last time you had me on here did the google beale. i'll go back to be one hundred percent proof again we just didn't get it it was definitely you know the case that they tried to be risque i'll just make it work are you guys thanks for joining me tonight so thanks for tuning in make sure you get back on monday i will not be hosting the show next week so i'm going to meet but lauren lister our brilliant r.v. correspondent and frequent happy our guest will be filling in and i know i'll miss
