sometimes you see a story and it seems so for like sleep you think you understand it and then he glimpse something else here sees some other part of it and realize that everything is ok if you don't. charge welcome to the big picture see. and. feel fear fear fear.

let's not forget that we are quite right. i think it is easy to be funny well. whenever the governor says never keep him safe get ready for freedom.

time for tight little 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 just 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. of the balance. sheet twenty eleven in the course or is it not seem like it was just a couple of weeks or so ago when we were all by photos videos of a huge dust storm or as we properly call it need or a logic leak a whole boob 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 of 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 dust storms and that is apparently too much for arizona it's they do not want local t.v.

stations using a foreign word to talk about dust storms several have actually spent minutes maybe even hours firing off angry letters to local newspapers i don vance of gilbert arizona wrote to the arizona republic this letter he said i'm insulted that local t.v. news crews are now calling this kind of star who how do you think our soldiers feel coming back to arizona and hearing some middle eastern term also quoted in the daring new york times investigative piece is diana robinson of richard berke arizona she's also that she claims of the dust storms are states 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 while you may think there are similarities don't forget that in these parts are just as mixed with the whoop of the indians dance the progression of the cattle herd and warning of the rattlesnake as it lifts his head to strike. and arizona's just arms are not so unique and they warrant a new me here logic term 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 it's been used for decades now you know it's almost like these people are scared by weathermen using a middle eastern term 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 these seed how you treat is bad takes no other minority group is in a hurry to visit now i almost would have preferred these 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 prudes 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 among us 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 to

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 issue 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 concoctions stop shipping their products to the u.s. because of their opposition to that chemical being used for executions. but rather than halting those executions states aside it improvise they started making modifications by using just pancho barbara straw that's one of the three drugs that's normally used to execute someone so pentobarbital is typically used to have lisa date or even kill animals and it's never ever been federally 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 would qualify as cruel and unusual punishment at the end of june and lethal injection using just that one drug made a lot of people question just that when people reported that they saw the prisoner jerking it said several times before he died so when the young lawyers tried again to appeal his death they cited the use of just one drug and georgia judge decided to fill his execution film his execution for visual proof of how pentobarbital affects the body during a lethal injection now since execution thursday night no reports have 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 that a judge felt the need to record the execution because of the grave doubts about the 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 eighteen and mates 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 that's 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 and a story. now does internet piracy actually help the movie and recording industries that's what a study carried out by germany society for consumer research found see all monitoring the media consumption habits of users of keynote. they found that not only do 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 then on pirating counterparts that's a conclusion that brings most 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 what exactly they have to hide will join me to discuss it as mike masnick founder of the blog attacked or 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 or if it's not entirely clear. whether or not they're really want to go public with it but the group it is a lot of work it from parts of the movie industry. so how do you think they figured 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 of the ground consume or if they get a taste. yeah it's i mean there's been a number of different studies that have all show this is probably you know at least

the six or seven that have shown this kind of activity and basically what it says is that the people who are you know the biggest fans of music in movies are the people who are the most most active in terms of consuming it both in terms of the authorized ways any unauthorized breaks 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 they tend to be the biggest consumers and you know the reason that they tend to go for a beat on authorized sites isn't necessarily that they want stuff for free because obviously they're paying for other stuff but because they feel if they're getting under certain someone they're not getting in your way or actually bought 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

then 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. but i mean when you look at it you know the industry there was kind of this this is you know their focus is on keeping control and not you know changing the overall structure of the market with their kind of gatekeeper where they have actually advantages in terms of being that a keeper 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 we're recognizing these are under sir and you know they're willing to spend if we just sort of the better we could probably make more money but they you know it's just not in their d.n.a. you know they look at it like that's that's a very different way of challenging the market and attacking the markets not the type of thing that you know that you know they want to hold on to 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 join in the rest of us in the twenty first century to come to reality and realize that the the market the entertainment industry the way that people consume is not what it used to be yeah i mean i think that's you know that's a big part of it you know i mean if you look back honestly the history of you know all different kinds of. you know what it was the industry likes to refer to it as piracy 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 of where the new technology has allowed more efficient ways of distribution and promotion and it's really just a way that the consumers indicate to the 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 isn't the first study did come out with the same conclusion but if that's the case if this evidence has been

put out there then how come we keep seeing more and talking about legislation that our 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 story behind infringement it's always been that it's you know it's such you know it's 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 takes them off message even if it would actually help them they just they can make that shift and i mean it would certainly call into question a lot of the other things. and i think you know part of it is just they're afraid about i mean 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 this line

of. pitching that 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 where that anything you know they want to try and hold that back and pretend that yes they can you know keep the internet from doing what the internet does best and that is stripping information. i but i guess in this case they are they won for a little while but at least now some people are starting to speak although the fore part of course hasn't been released yet mike thanks so much for joining us thanks for having me. i'm so confident we have our fireside friday and then if that's the way it's let's say hello it's a happy hour right if you're caught up gets heated literally plus a porn airline has a new and very interesting taking video from the. internet

only it works and mechanisms do don't work to bring justice or accountability. i have every right to know what my government's true if you want to know why i pay taxes. well i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. getting some love to see a story and it seems so silly is that 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 had an apartheid. i think. well. we have the government says they're going to keep him safe get ready because you're going to live their freedom.

it's night. with your hooves. 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 you want and it ended with a very meager and pathetic concession that was made by the department of corrections and rehabilitation see what the prisoners one from the department and you could call about or cold weather cops 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 ted about to torture

which specialists say can cause severe psychological and physical damage while the prison strike there is ended and thousands of prisoners across the state of california remain in solitary is now learning this week that another prisoner and pennsylvania 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 of the i agents in one nine hundred seventy five who to this day maintains his innocence his trial has been questioned for decades about his fairness. and you countless figures around the world consider a political prisoner but this isn't even about peltier 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 a 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 and 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 a prison incident reports and held for years attorney because after receiving a letter from a scottish supporter which contained a twenty pound note peltier 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 a 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 him pelletier had nothing to do with this wire but because the guard was shocked by it pelletier was found to have engaged in conduct

which just rocks or interferes with security most like in the prison programs own words an assault on a person so now the ill sixty six year old is sitting in solitary confinement and has five more months to go what's the point of an ill sixty six year old man really a threat a danger to those prison guards 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 of black eye dot net thanks for joining me guys it's friday we have coming up happy friday having friday ok so we just never really depressing story about people actually being tortured being held in solitary confinement. look don't get me started on the wrong getting hit very rightly or wrongly convicted not a lot and i think you can't help on your hunger strike wasn't. thank you laura but i do believe you'll get a copy got me going this is actually really depressing i showed that tells you a lot about this country the fact that after all the people who are willing prisoners only get die of hunger is that they got to be you need to sit on your just rule that it is inhumane the way the prisons are in california we are treating people 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 if you're going to be is is really is drastic and all the it's happy hour let me try to get back to where you know it's a very here. to look it would have been to a bunch of hotel workers that were striking at the park in chicago. hired workers say someone turned down the heat lamps to be pleased with their picket line to the outdoor air temperature linda long says it was hotter than the kitchen she's worked in for eleven years because. of this like we would. you know. kill. the heat lamps were turned when the pressure that real carrasquillo was going to. 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 lamps horrible this is a beautiful image that's a negotiating tactic i can get but i know how to do it but that's kind of smart because the rule is a good job is the house you set up all the garbage up next to put the heat lamps on

it steam come right out of their old protest i have to say that all of the things we see happen 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 others like that so how do you see this is the labor strikes just a good name and go she. is not getting a go but 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 when it isn't should be have you back in the kitchen she works in the floor than out on the side but these don't when but having done stories on these union lock outs and they were disputes you know of course they do because they do but they don't win so they aren't they don't blast heat lamps. but sometimes there's a next story these videos always crack me up and we've actually shown our audience a couple of them on the show there is one from colorado when john elway was involved as of 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 where exactly the terrorists are in this video take a look. recorded sisters just activity should not be based on a person's race religion or gender. but rather on the papers that seem suspicious or out of the ordinary. to. never take unnecessary. we're trying to act as an official investigator when observing the reporting. ok i think there are two big that going on in this video personally one i think there's a little bit of that 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 it they're going to 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 have to keep your eye out for everybody all the time and read their journals there in the subway and use your cell phone that is actually working the subway well i don't think that we have to be that concerned that this video will have that much of a fear scare tactic impact because it is ten minutes on. ten minute long it was. i couldn't even get to 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 all to the. who's the terrorist. guys like you my friends of the terrorist and it was minorities and muslims returning is it was also that was i mean you said 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 i was you know we come out how many how

do you fly in a house that you see only the acts of terror you talk about timothy mcveigh if you talk about it you talk with. jurors loved it was not you talk about terrorism but i don't. think any system just activity and i've got a time said the f.b.i. it's entrapment they're entrapped the you know you. know like terry did mean usually by terrorism way for ninety five percent plus were killed by most of the best which one is going to build according to new according to people who track that seeded down to where over a period i don't want to see the statistics because that's not true but fine if you want to go down that road then talk about the fort hood shooter who was. actually mentally crazy do you call him a terrorist or just a not so what he was shouting allahu akbar he was to give a power point presentation mercy so that they were going ahead and discriminating against muslims he made a point of it and the reason he wasn't called beforehand is because people were scared to say anything about it it was out of became

a political correctness is because they weren't that good but i moved on to them a phobia i guess wasn't there always characterized as a terrorist i think it's good that there is finally some action you know are we get we only have limited to having two stories so really quickly let's think about it and politics. not just what the chicken. i should tell the government. i moved a little stake it sure correction joining me from the experts wrong. all right so we couldn't show you there is they actually use images from the miracle on ice where the american team won knockout game and our a.b.c. wants to see women who stupid this working on his campaign that would have thought that you can use that well they're using a fair use excuse and think it might be covered and i'm just really perplexed at the how this going to apply to a political i mean if this was used in a journalistic way i would kind of understand it but come on you know to try to

show it was here this is what he should have a clean clear to use because who is to plenty i'm going to pull for anybody look at obama i have no clue to even it so i could see nobody trying to sell a bell but nobody wants to know who he is can we. really quick but we can you keep your feet out see throughout the night that if you do need to get out and you sit down kind of thing that simply came down in the last i saw your nice new zealander trying to tell you to be safe because you have nothing to hide so they just painted their bodies like that i do like that but here's my problem with this i couldn't tell that they were painted i was i spent the whole first half of the video no i mean that's not close it looks like at last let me have you in here did the boob will be able. i will go back to be one hundred percent proved to be again we just didn't get it it was definitely you know the case that they tried to be regaled to make it work are you guys thanks for joining me that's it for tonight's out thanks for tuning in make sure you come back on monday i will not be hosting the show next week so i'm going to make butler live here are brilliant are you correspondent and frequent happy our guest will be filling in and i know i'll miss you guys go there
