well go back to the big picture on some arbonne coming up in this half hour we all know the right wing has no concrete evidence proving muslim affiliation in american terrorist acts so by would we possibly taken by use let alone training from a former terrorist group would tell from the muslim public affairs council weighs in on this issue and wisconsin governor scott walker implements a new voter id law just in time will probably be his own recall election with fewer than a dozen cases of voter fraud actually found and prosecuted nationwide every year while the hysteria and why would scott walker want to prevent tens of thousands of

poor urban and elderly people and college students from voting. in the best the rest of the news last night and talked about how the islamophobia right wing in america has their fingerprints all over the norway terror attacks and how islamophobia are carrying out a strategy here in the united states to whip up fear against muslims take a look at the organization people for the american way just released a report of what they are calling the right wing playbook on anti muslim extremists . included in this report is a section titled eight key strategies employed by the right to inflame and sodomite and turn a truth and bigotry into political weapons so once the fear is established once we're all afraid that the muslims are going to take down our airplanes then you have to back it up with research which brings us to the second part of the right

wing plan strategy to twist statistics and use fake research to prove the muslim through. its strategy to using fake research especially fake experts of the right wing depends on most to turn us all into fearful zombies right wingers are the only ones depending on fake experts so are the police take for example this guy. walid shoebat was played a five hundred sixty thousand dollars in two thousand and nine to train counterterrorism officials and sure bob isn't a terrorism expert he's a right wing islamophobia was compared is long to naziism so we should tap phone lines at mosques declare that islamic organizations are america's number one enemy and a wind that islam and terrorism are inseparable yes this is the guy training our police officers now in light of the norway attacks in which we can all see firsthand the

violence that is long a phobia can cause the muslim public affairs council's pushing back against phony experts like they released a statement saying she about has turned his viewing of a speech into a career that will train for police officers and first responders from poisonous individuals is not an effective method of training and will not properly equip them to keep our nation safe so how do we put an end with only experts spreading hate joining me now to talk about this issue is all one hundred would tell government policy analyst of the muslim public affairs council i wonder welcome back glad to be here tom so while the shoe but i did baited him two years ago on my radio program but at the time i had the impression that he was a former palestinian terrorist who had become a terrorism expert any written some kind of book and all this kind of stuff. everybody was taken very seriously who really is he and should we be taken seriously no we should not be taking him seriously and the reason why is because he has a very frightening story so he claims that he was a national p.l.o.

terrorist put a hold meet me planted a bomb in jerusalem and that story actually did not check out in fact when c.n.n. had investigated and looked into his background and contacted officials at bank leumi where he claimed he had detonated this explosive they actually said they had no record whatsoever of doing it and furthermore when they talked to his own family to see whether or not he had been involved in. any sort of violent extremism they said no he never was at all so we basically have a hustler who has sold a half a million bucks. to train police that's only in one year we we would really be interested to see how much how many more years he's been doing this and how many more books has been awesome. that's incredible does the does the norway terror attack have any kind of important lessons for us. as miami hates and ties one of the speech absolutely and especially when we apply it to the context of law

enforcement training but we can see now is that at best they provide incredibly misleading information to our front line officers and at best when we look at the case of the manifesto from this terrorist is that they provide the intellectual enabling for any potential by an extremist activity according to an analysis that we just put out yesterday one out of every ten internet safety ations he used in his fifteen hundred page manifesto came from islam of life will be chill god like robert spencer who writes for jihad watch org pamela geller and people of that like . to cast terrorism is broadly defined as. well it's arguably what osama bin laden was doing sending out tapes and you know p.r. things in the hopes that some crazy person out there would then become a terrorist and there was this like remote control terrorism without

a direct link and and you know activating lone wolves or right wing as long affords in the united states promoting stochastic terrorism i wouldn't necessarily know if they're trying to actively recruit people but i would certainly say again is that they are providing a very very toxic environment where the moral threshold for these kinds of acts is significantly lower. progressively as this discourse becomes much more pervasive in our society and we really need to have a reality check for ourselves both here and abroad and really start to say we need to stop the hate and snap back to reality what are your thoughts on how the norwegian prime minister and his foreign minister also gave a torch today about how you know we're not we're not afraid we're not going to shut down our society we're not you know we're going to actually become more inclusive we're going to brace muslims here in norway we're going to we're going to. you know and then they're having press conferences like literally out the open it's

a very not a for it's a very enlightened and also a very smart worldview because he sees two things out of this number one is that the rule of law it helps to make their nation strong and if we here in the united states as well look at our tradition we have by and by the rule of law it is also help to keep our nation safe and secure and then the second thing is that he's recognizing that the diversity that is continuing to grow within norway is also contributing to the strength of the country and that's also been the case here in the united states and we fail to recognize those two key lessons then it's really putting the very fabric of our nation in enormous strain and at jeopardy so. it seems like we've done that i mean this is this is what i wish to argue with jamie and daniel about the george bush violated the rule of law repeatedly and then modified the rule of law in the united states to make us a more fearful nation the act the opposite of what norway is doing how do we walk

that back or should we well i think we do need to walk the fear factor back because inherent within the word charism is terror and there is a very strong psychological component more than even about creating dead bodies is the fact that they're trying to change the way that we as a nation act to staring us and cowering into some sort of fearful act but if we are able to stand up to terrorism not just by arresting them but by also by deterring their ideas by deterring their fear. then i think we're really then making some serious headway against al qaeda but until we can take away the fear factor al qaeda will continue to have an enormous leverage over our nation because it doesn't take much for them then to continue to change the character of our nation fundamentally. gets that way and we have a big lesson learned from norway one hundred thanks so much for drought thank you very much see you again let's hope we learn some lessons from norway and start

cracking down on the purveyors of hate right here in the united states. news out of wisconsin voters are screwed by many republican governors around the nation governor scott walker jammed a restrictive voter id law through his state legislature earlier this year requiring people to show a driver's license or other form of photo i.d. in order to vote the sorts of laws have been proven to disenfranchise poor people elderly people college age voters who don't drive a car and who also tend to vote for democrats walker argues this isn't about politics it's about curbing voter fraud which is a non-issue that happens less often than people getting struck by lightning rod like other republican governor scott walker is really going one step further to really screw over the voters in the state walker's now closing d.m.v. offices around wisconsin making it even harder for people to get photo i.d.'s that are now needed to vote and guess which d.m.v.

office is close the ones in democratic areas of course and he's expanded hours and d.m.v. offices in republican areas and even if you're lucky enough to still have a d.m.v. nearby in wisconsin get ready for a hassle take a look at this undercover video taken by someone in wisconsin attempting to get a photo id earlier this week in order to vote as the video that you're going to see . i know what does the short if it is the use it really does your kitty. as the video shows you have to give up your bang. records after you after they've looked over your banking transactions and you have to pay thirty bucks to get the id that is unless you know to say that you need it just for a voting nec case it's free but don't expect the d.m.v. to let you in on this little secret. would you ask him and he says this voting were for later books. if you know one of them. it should be because it would be doing any of it unless you're. going to make

significant other people's difference for we do it for free but if. we don't know that they're going to use it and why don't you have that is a question i would like to ask your supervisor why don't you ask people. is this a defibrillating or is it for something these put it on here and it says so is the state statute. pretty clearly and so the question so is this the way democracy should work in america jump through hoops first in the d.m.v. or are we seeing voter disenfranchisement in this enfranchise at its finest scott walker's wisconsin offer his take on the issue is horace cooper member of the conservative project twenty one black leadership network legal commentator and an adjunct fellow with the national center for public policy research horace welcome thanks for having me on again thank you for joining us. from the conservative point of view. archer were horrified by this but i'm kind of horrified is the idea of the government bureaucracies like the d.m.v.

and like the post office which function in an incompetent way are somehow walking him in glove with a scheme to disenfranchise democrat voters i think that's laughable on its face the real question is is there a need for the public to be convinced that the votes that they cast are actually votes that are going to result in the decisions of who's going to lead them and what direction are going to go that's an important thing for the public to feel so george bush declared a fight. your war on voter fraud mobilize massive public resources millions tens of millions of dollars at federal prosecutors in every state working on this thing and in those five years he succeeded in tracking down eighty eight people and up to seven arrests. allocations of double voting this is from the brennan center for justice truth about voter fraud if you miss this twenty year analysis. the headlines more double voting tido for elections double voting being investigated

turns out in minnesota or excuse me in missouri from two thousand and two thousand and two hundreds of voters religious to double voted but at after they actually investigated it four cases four cases in the entire state in new jersey the allegation is forty three hundred ninety seven people double voted turned out it was one when they when they found it in new york they were allegations that thousands of thousands of voters it turns out that there were two i mean this is in wisconsin in two thousand and four dozens of votes were alleged to have voted twice no zero they when they finally tracked down dead voters in new jersey had the headline was among voters new jersey g.o.p. says dead people turns out there were no dead people injured in new jersey voting in georgia in fact the republicans claim there were fifty four hundred twelve votes from dead people turned out it was zero. you know i had gotten out i got i got page after page of this do you have any evidence you know scott walker is going to knock

tens of thousands of people off the voting rolls in wisconsin is that worth saving the four or five phlogiston votes that might have been that have been prosecuted that state over the last twenty years ok the milwaukee county sheriff's office said that they did a study from two thousand and four to two thousand and eight and in the course of that study the arrow the impression that the outcome statewide elections were impacted by fraudulent voting false voting that misrepresentations of various kinds anough that the number zero. participants could have shape change the outcome of the vote and this day i don't know what to do with any of you more examples and this they don't really isn't you they went to the just know for the process went to the district attorney in the district attorney said because the state of wisconsin itself can't tell us how many actual registered voters they are because their systems are it is difficult for us to them prosecute the state of colorado if they had any evidence of an actual crime. that is not necessarily the case the state of colorado they found that there was

a concentrated effort for illegal immigrants to participate and the number of people who voted in the two thousand and ten election of the number of non eligible illegal immigrants was greater than the margin of victory in the united states serially in south carolina just not just dumped one hundred seventy eight thousand voters off the polls by this if you will one hundred seventy eight thousand people in south carolina who are stupid on a car don't have a driver's license morphy generationally have never applied for a passport because they don't travel mostly poor people mostly urban people lot of black people and one hundred seventy thousand that's nikki haley's number that's her government caroline is it worth not seen a one hundred seventy eight i resigned an off the wall very clear in order to stop four or five people from illegally voting south carolina is a pre-clearance state and that requires the justice department which presently is run by mr obama to make sure that any changes that are going to go into effect will actually not restrict the ability of people to vote now there are

a lot of these claims that are tossed up but it turns out and the supreme court has championed this notion that a voter identification is a form of voter integrity that ensures that voters understand that they are actually getting to choose who is going to make decisions for them and you know supreme court chief justice promising to the chief justice rehnquist made his republican chops tears this climate of justice and it is when he was sitting in his . will we will. see is what is the posture of the department of justice when it comes to analyzing these kinds of issues now i am very very confident that the department of justice is going to clear these states there are a number of them that are subject to preclearance and it's tragic that all these people are being thrown off the polls horace thanks for dropping by thanks for having me on again. despite what walker says this move is just about politics in my opinion anyway with republican state lawmakers face in six a coming recall elections and walker himself likely facing

a recall next year it's obvious the governor's doing everything he can to keep his job and tragically chipping away at over at the core of democracy itself in the process. coming up a daily take on how both political parties are getting a very important clause in the u.s. constitution and why we're all in danger because of. that drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions. to be made who can you trust no one who is you know with a global missionary and see where we had a state controlled capitalism in school. when nobody dares to ask we do our t. question morning.

it's the good the bad of the very very terrorists legally they're good. at their annual convention yesterday the n.w.c. passed a resolution calling on america to end nixon's war on drugs president. ben jealous said these flawed drug policies that have been mostly enforced in african-american communities must be stopped and replaced with evidence based practices that address the root causes of drug use and abuse in america in other words we need to adopt a drug policy like the rest of the developed world that isn't wasting billions

incarcerating people for getting it so if the momentum for any drug were concerned the bad. congressman randy new nuclear ball of the republican from texas who heads the house financial services committee as he variously working to dismantle the wall street reform bill cutting off relief to victims of foreclosure and blowing up the new consumer financial protection and why is he doing this well he explained his position in internet radio and. these agencies to two girls who just made richard a little dictatorship something you point this person knew to carry out what they could do to you how much they could george you for. it if you don't want to answer there's really not sure but you crosses to it and you don't think that's. the point of barker so you say oh that's right the guy in charge of overseeing wall street just called wall street regulators little dictators still don't think republicans

want the wall street to crash our economy again and the very very ugly sarah pailin yesterday the fox news and gubernatorial quitter and thoroughly defeated star of the movie undefeated lashed out at the president over his approach to. fortunately i think that the president is not capable of giving there right now said i think a lot. that glory has to do with his background he having not been a part of the private sector are part of running a business or having to rely on making profit and investing according to the free market are for new or set priorities in order to grow a business and hire more people that seems to be foreign to our president and that's why i never use the word in there by pailin the american economy seems to be to our president listen carefully and you can hear the dog whistle to all the birth there is out there a note from sirius just buzzed and that's a very fair. this

is not about the numbers this debt limit debate has seen its fair share of numbers tossed around five point one trillion two point seven trillion one point two trillion fourteen trillion lots a mind boggling only i numbers that we can't really wrap our heads around but the numbers are what's important here it's what's really behind the numbers that matters back in two thousand and six senator obama said this about the business in washington and what it means for average americans. just remember as we move forward that there are real consequences to the work that's being done here there are people in places like decatur illinois or galesburg illinois who have seen their jobs eliminated they've lost their health care they have lost their retirement security they don't have a clear sense of how their children will succeed in the same way that they

succeeded so there are real consequences to the work that's being done here this is not a bloodless process. creating a budget is not a bloodless process as in when republicans cut up the federal budget people will get hurt cutting social security will hurt senior citizens cutting medicaid will hurt the sick in impoverished cutting food assistance will hurt poor families we're talking physical pain here lingering sickness and starvation twenty two americans died in last week's heat wave that scorched the very same states it cut critical government programs to help low income families pay their electric bills heat stroke is real pain and the republicans know this that's why yesterday in an effort to rally their caucus behind more pain inducing budget cuts republican leadership in the house play this clip from the movie of the town take

a look. i mean if you're out there i can't tell you what it is you could never ask me about it maybe i'm going to hurt some people. who's going to. pay again this is a real cliff but the real republicans played to their caucus to whip up support for their painful budget cuts you can't make this stuff up later in the movie those two characters you just saw go on to smash two guys with sticks and shoot another guy in the leg so who's on board to do the same to the american people sadly they both parties purity it looks more and more likely the only approach is going to resolve this debt limit fiasco giving the republicans exactly what they want the knives to cut up the american people one of the most important clauses in our constitution is the general welfare clause in article one section eight it reads the congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes duties impose and absentees to pay the

debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the united states. congress will have the power to provide for the general welfare of the united states through it right there in our constitution and our founding fathers who wrote the general welfare clause knew exactly what it meant that's why george washington was the very first president to sign legislation authorizing funds to provide for housing food education and medical care to the poor in washington d.c. that's why john adams and thomas jefferson our second and third presidents continued our policy without a second thought that's why the first veto of our fourth president james madison the main author of the constitution was to kill a piece of legislation that ruef the responsibility for caring and pain for the poor from the federal government to a church in d.c. madison didn't believe the government should ever give money to churches for any purpose and the one of the most important jobs of the federal government was to

catch those who fell through the social safety net reduced me to a message he said he was vetoing the bill quote because the build vests and said incorporated church and also authority to provide for the support of the poor and the education of poor children of the same carry into effect a public and civil duty not a religious duty that a sin was in fact he goes on at some length in his veto message i encourage you to check it out you can easily google it and only just duty a civic a civic duty it's our duty we the people through our government a public and civil civic or civil duty to care for the general welfare. and members of the democratic party thomas jefferson founded continue to promote the general welfare of america when for example franklin roosevelt as the new deal or when lyndon johnson created the great society in poverty and after the united states about four years the republicans have always a good general welfare they opposed the new deal they opposed medicare they

filibustered things like unemployment benefits food assistance programs and now there are wages demands in the debt limit debate republicans with their libertarian and agenda read the general welfare clause differently than the founding fathers do they think the best way for the government to promote the general welfare is to get the hell out of the way leave it up to the mythical free market the billionaires and the transnational corporations to promote the general welfare and health insurance corporations that use death panels to determine if your organ transplant will hurt their bottom line will corporations that spew crude all over our oceans and suffocate us with the missions as they laugh all the way to the bank with their record breaking profits like banks toure's who gamble with our money and crash the economy these are the great promoters of the general welfare according to republicans not the government. in the past democrats used to hold the line they

used to keep the general welfare clause protected from the grubby hands of the republicans wanted to store it but today in both the house and the senate as well as the white house tragedy those general welfare democrats are hard to find republicans never like that mandate that the founders put in the constitution that our government must protect and provide for the general welfare of all the people and now even a few democrats have forgotten what it means when they say they're willing to compromise on core values like social security and medicare and some real democrats don't stand up soon and remind the rest of our lawmakers exactly what our founding fathers intended when they wrote the general welfare clause in the constitution and republicans are going to get away with hurting millions of americans and soon as they figure out what car to make their getaway that's the big picture for tonight for more information on the stories we covered visit our web sites at tom hartman dot com free speech dot org dot com also check out our two youtube channel is there
