one guy after right wingers blasted a two thousand and nine department of homeland security report they warned of the threat of domestic terror the h.s. secretary janet napolitano caved and downsized the entire domestic terrorism unit until there was just one guy left of him just one guy overseen all of the domestic terror threats in the country meanwhile everyone else at the h.s. is looking into islamic terror threats which doesn't seem to make much sense according to the f.b.i. has own data about terrorism in the united states it would have this chart it breaks down the f.b.i.'s numbers on what groups have carried out terror attacks in the us between one thousand nine hundred and two thousand and five including nine eleven turns out muslims are responsible for only six percent of all turf attacks the rest is primarily homegrown domestic terror mostly committed by christians so it doesn't t.h.s. have a backwards should there be more people at the department looking into threats beyond
11:31 pm
islamic terror for example threats from right wing christian fanatics like anders breivik who brought unspeakable violence to norway last week here offer his take on this is brian fisher director of issue analysis of the conservative american family association brian welcome. good to see you thank you brian only one guy had v.h.s. looking into the possibility of a right wing killers in america when they're responsible for hundreds of deaths and hundreds of attacks in the last decade by half. well i'm not familiar with the numbers that you're looking at but i know for instance in the case of anders breivik i read through his entire fifteen hundred eighteen page manifesto this was a guy that it made he had no personal relationship with god or jesus christ perfectly happy to have worshipers of odin on his team he was into racial purity he wanted to develop these and be true fertilization facilities and third world countries where they would breed ninety five to ninety nine percent pure nordic
11:32 pm
types and then shortly before his attack he planned to spend the night with a two thousand euro a night to hooker and consume a bottle of wine he purchased at an auction in one thousand seventy nine and saving for a special purpose so he might call himself a christian i wouldn't i don't think anybody else would well. they're the arguably but ok my point isn't that he's doing this in the name of jesus you know my point was that he was born christian he was this is this guy's not a muslim terrorist and his brother was motivated by a number of right wing fundamentalists in the united states not some christian probably most of them people that you and i would agree are not actually christians but they were you know hate mongers basically is not only a matter of time before their words fall on an american and shouldn't the d.h.s.s. the department homeland security be focusing on this. well you look at what
11:33 pm
happened to dates on we arrested another individual who was planning to attack fort hood he was a muslim or he was a soldier he have weapons he had bomb material that he was carrying with them he was spotted by a gun store owner he wasn't stopped by all of the security that you're talking about that's been devoted to islamic terrorism of the united states this is where the threat is coming from this is where i think more resources need to be devote yet but well and good point and ear talking about a an attempt or a guy who was planning or thinking about planning or what let's assume he was planning to do something awful if there was an actual terrorist far apart bombing in the united states this week by a christian and the media instead is focused on this possible attack by a muslim isn't it because you know guys like you and people on the right are out there pushing the idea that we should be afraid of these mostly brown people with a religion that's not yours that basically nobody's talking about the fact that
11:34 pm
there was a fire bombing actual. terrorist attack inside the united states to is ago well i'm not sure what event you're referring to but i think what you have i'm talking about the planned parenthood clinic in dallas that was was firebombed. ok i'm not familiar with that story but the point here is that you have to look at the any ology behind what somebody does and you know a christian does this that people arms of planned parenthood clinic are attacks on abortion doctor is universally condemned and he cannot find any support for that new christian teachings workers he added it makes him a bad christian if a muslim does it say for instance the this nasir abdo that tried to take out fort hood today that makes him a good muslim because his idiology his religious right you know it's just totally books you write him to do that you know that is not true you know a the bible has as many admonitions to kill in fact any one of the ten commandments if your kids talk back to you take them out in the public square and kill them the bible has as many of those things as the qur'an may have that's you know and second
11:35 pm
at the day after nine eleven the world was united with us in downtown tehran iran they had a candlelight vigil in support of the united states the not not just the vast majority of virtually universal majority of muslim leaders around the world have repudiated these kinds of terror terror attacks well under simply wrong about the reaction in the muslim world on nine eleven i've seen video footage in gaza for instance where palestinians were celebrating the single exception emptying out candy you don't find anything like that i mean universally scenario like exceptions ever the muslim or was it islamic terror is only accounting only accounts for six percent of all terror attacks in the u.s. and since one thousand nine hundred isn't isn't t.h.s. looking on iran. well if you look at the koran there's a command from almost through mohammad slay the idolaters wherever you find them so if you masturbate that's the first commandment in christianity if you ask
11:36 pm
a christian what command jesus were you following when you bomb this abortion clinic you will get dead silence there is no command of jesus to take out the infidels but there's a lot of this that i can i come not to bring peace i come with a sword that's the quote that's most of all i think people who are who are bombing abortion clinics or who are blowing up people in the name of jesus and you know that the first commandment of the commander but is that if somebody is an idolater they should be put to death well it's time now you're talking about the old testament you can bring out a jewish theologian to debate that's not fair to your boss and is a christian does it if a christian does it what command of jesus christ is he obeying if the muslim does it i can find you one hundred nine commands in the koran tells them to take out the infidels and again this you know these are both archaic religions brian the there
11:37 pm
are in modern day people are not modern day christians are not stoning their children because they're they're speaking back to them and you know or selling their daughters into slavery simply because the bible says that you can be done and most moderate at least the vast majority of modern day christians i don't know maybe there's crazy mormons other data and the vast majority of of muslims are not in any case i think we've we if we've pretty much covered this brian thanks for being with us the new york times let's hope that the one guy who's working on domestic terror but one guy at the department homeland security doesn't decide to take a vacations but there's another problem here and that's the media nasser jason. was arrested for plotting to fort hood texas. skys a muslim and you know he was apparently planning something really nasty had guns and he had bombs and you know kinds of you know the stuff that happens and the media went nuts today i mean absolutely nuts take
11:38 pm
a look at this montage. the arrest of an a wall muslim american soldier he's been on the run since two thousand and ten arrested today with allegedly plans to possibly set off two bombs near fort hood in clean texas law enforcement officials that they suspect he was planning an attack in or around before fort hood area private first class do was have arrested at a traffic stop in texas where he said the suspect was nabbed in a hotel room full of explosives after going a wall in june and this is a federal investigation so private first class nasser jason abdo is now in city jail bases federal charges. so we have that it's all terrorism all the time now and the definition of terrorism and this isn't in dispute the definition of terrorism is committing an act or an act of violence to try to frighten a group of people. to frighten them as much as possible maximal terrorism maximal
11:39 pm
fear and so i don't think that there's any way that you can characterize the bombing of a planned parenthood clinic where the doctor mammograms and half smears of birth control pills basically women services as anything other than terrorism yet look at how that acts that this was an actual one that got pulled off tuesday and look at how that got covered a notice how rarely the word terrorism is used. shattered glass a burned door picture show what a fire left behind planned parenthood of north texas has one of its clinics with attacked with a molotov cocktail sometime last night and it's the first attack of a crime for any clinics in our area and it certainly raising concerns today let me say at this hour there are no suspects they also emphasize that there is no evidence connecting the demonstrators to protest out here pretty quickly to this attempted arson. i didn't hear the word terrorism if you wasn't clear
11:40 pm
it's not being used because it was presumably a christian it was a muslim now can just imagine if the exact same molotov cocktail had been thrown into the local bad sister lutheran or catholic or whatever church thrown into a christian church by a person with dark skin who had mohammad as their first name cox news would have been all over it all day long but because this was a women's clinic. ok you know the local news says we're concerned about it national news not a peep it's time to start calling terrorism terrorism regardless of who commits it . it's a good the bad in the very porter as to quit ugly but white house a good excuse me white house press secretary jay carney at the white house press
11:41 pm
briefing yesterday carney laid out fox so-called news reporter ed and. have a senator introduce it is a national bill we're six days away. i mean you know. the speaker walked away from this deal you know get a great deal to put it out there let the american people that we got into that question but one quick thing i mean are you really creating a room here for five minutes ago this hour to do a new book. releases the needles to say jay carney shut up ed henry or your guy that i used to always scream at the t.v. that little weasel when he was on c.n.n. and you could of those the white house for putting fox so-called news in its place the bad stuart varney or absurdity at fox the fox so-called news talking head took on george soros this morning on fox and friends after soros of the public interest ought to prevail over his own self-interest
11:42 pm
a seemingly reasonable comment barney went nuts. with the public interest story point that while there to be talking about the public interest on your show if you try to fix visit here so yeah i just want to i do not like the billionaires socialists who hate america and try to make money out of our rude i don't like that ok i think barney is confused he must be talking about the koch brothers not george soros unless you're sir as was begging to be taxed more and support policies that cost him money but improve the nation of course koch brothers generally support policies that make themselves rich at the expense of us that's one of the significant differences between billionaire conservatives. and billionaire progressive aggressors want to contribute conservatives want to make off with a big profit and the very very ugly tea party congressman joe walsh is bashing the president encouraging our nation to default on its debts appears he's busy not meeting his own obligations namely pain child support off his ex-wife
11:43 pm
claims he owes over one hundred thousand dollars and a child support walsh argues he did have the money to pay up if he did go on a couple overseas because of his new girlfriend and he found enough cash to loan his campaign thirty five thousand dollars which is attorney is defending his client saying joe walsh hasn't been a big time wage earner politician until recently he's no more problems with child support than any other air verged guy. that's his defense yeah i'm not paying child support but i'm not as bad as your average deadbeat. we stop listening to the tea party's fiscal advice from their own members jim and over seas that's very very. after the break something is sucking away american manufacturing but you know what it is and why it's the real crisis congress should be addressing. what drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions to
11:44 pm
break through it through between may who can you trust no one who is you view who with a global mission would see where we had a state controlled capitalism is called sasha's when nobody dares to ask we do our t. question more.
11:45 pm
your take my take is your chance to send in your questions comments rants and observations about anything we talk about here on the big picture or during my radio show and it's my chance to give you my take on it one more time our first comments are night as opposed from our facebook page top shirt a quote from a speech given by president dwight eisenhower in one nine hundred fifty two should any political party attempt to abolish social security unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs you would not hear that party again in our political history. and change this is exactly what today's republican party is trying to do and as nancy pelosi pointed out this morning the strategy has very little to do with being concerned about the nation's deficit problem i believe the real reason it didn't they didn't connect is because the republicans all along had
11:46 pm
a deficit reduction and an excuse for the unraveling of progress made for the middle class of the past fifty years if you believe in that the education of our children in. the creation of jobs. in one way you couldn't possibly know for the bill the republicans are bringing to the. course not everyone agrees with congresswoman pelosi is observation or my view the republicans derailed negotiations and are now passing legislation the campus and senate just because they want to crash the economy or president obama's reelection chances of you are with the alias a citizen tweeted us today stocks spreading your propaganda spreading fear is like yours is causing our nation to be in such enormous strength really who walked away from the negotiations i think that was eric cantor and john boehner who called for
11:47 pm
the debt ceiling increases to be stopped out was the republicans you know the debt ceiling was increased seven times during the bush administration eighteen times during the reagan administration it was always just gonna yeah we'll do that you know and then we'll talk about the budget but what's going on here is three republican presidents ran up a nine trillion dollar bill and the last one left that absolute disaster that spilled into another couple trillion dollars that has been paid out during the obama administration they bought the car they drove it off the lot they invited everybody into it and drank lots of champagne and now they don't want to pay for it that's what's going on another viewer called the rant line with this question i think my main question is why are we under any assumption. obama is any different than any other president told by are we under the assumption
11:48 pm
that those who pay off the people we quote people i'm not going to the way they do with their master's program to do well the main reason why we're not into that assumption is because many times in our history. people have in politics have actually done the right thing the progressive caucus i would say you know there's about nine hundred ninety some odd members of congress in the progressive caucus who are as far as i can tell actually doing the people's work i mean i'll give you that they're virtually the entire republican party and a not insignificant part of the democratic party are a wholly owned subsidiaries of big corporate america but there still are some good people in politics and we need to be participating and working hard to hold them accountable and bring more good people into politics and on monday night president obama gave a primetime address to the nation where he made one last effort to frame the debate at the end of his speech president obama had this call to action for the american
11:49 pm
people so i'm asking you all to make your voice heard if you want a balanced approach to reducing the deficit let your member of congress know if you believe we can solve this problem through compromise some bad message and one viewer called us to report on her attempt to do what the president oust. i shall let you know what i've called eric cantor's office how about three or four times yesterday and today and every time i called own currency is first now truth our family can't get through she and i wonder why he did to actually i don't immediately after obama's speech the capitol switchboard crashed congressional websites were overloaded and this should only happen when the president puts out a call to action frankly that's that's that's unfortunate that it would only happen when he puts out a call to action we all have to stay involved in the political process you know the cornerstone of american democracy the whole concept of american democracy is the
11:50 pm
people the first three words of the preamble to the constitution we the people make your voices heard and if you'd like to make yourself heard here this segment of the picture listen we want to know your take send us your comments by visiting the tom hartman facebook page by a twitter at tom underscore hartman or in the chat room on the message boards or to the blog at thom hartmann dot com you can also leave a message on a rant line at two two five three six fifty three zero six agree disagree sound off it's all welcome but remember that your comments may be used on the air. remember this warning from presidential candidate ross perot in one thousand nine hundred two about what free trade would lead to. and you don't care about anything but make it not me there will be
11:51 pm
a challenge sucking sound going south so here that giant sucking sound or is it being drowned out by the noise the debt ceiling debate general electric announced yesterday that they're moving their x. ray of business headquarters out of the us and into china. three years ago the instant china institute a national single payer health care system covering every person in the country and thus their health care market is growing rapidly and g.e. wants to get in on that game i guess here in the united states where basic health care is becoming less and less available to people actually businesses and so profitable anymore the ironic thing is this g.e. c.e.o. jeffrey immelt is moonlighting as the head of president obama's job creation council he's the guy in charge of trying to figure out how to create more jobs in the united states while his day job is as a c.e.o. who's boxing up his company and ship it overseas dyer more foreign workers. so now the headquarters is moving to china expect the factories in the workers to follow
11:52 pm
suit as one unnamed c.e.o. told told business columnist christa freeland earlier this year for her article the rise of the global elite if the transformation of the world economy lives for people in china and india out of poverty in the middle class and meanwhile drops one american out of the middle class that's not such a bad trade and c.e.o.'s are making that tradeoff every day in america so instead of manufacturing our medical equipment in the u.s. now we can just import it from foreign nations hiring foreign workers producing foreign profits. but this isn't anything new x. ray machines will just be the latest of the things that we do don't manufacture in the united states anymore as a report by the a.f.l.-cio and the organization working america uncovered huge chunks of our once a vibrant manufacturing sector have been handed over to foreign business tycoons to sell back to the united states consider some consider some of these statistics ninety three percent of household furniture and look around your house ninety three
11:53 pm
percent of household furniture is manufactured outside the united states but back in one nine hundred ninety seven you forged first if you push came into office only twenty three percent of household furniture had to be imported again today it's ninety three percent that's why if you walk around your house you likely won't find one thing made in the usa with that stamp on not one thing that put an american to work now one thing that gave an american a paycheck to buy stuff in the united states and then go out and spend that money stimulating our economy then there's this ninety two percent of all paper products in the united states now have to be imported from overseas because we don't make them in the united states and. when it comes to medicinals and botanicals eighty five percent of what we use in the united states comes from somewhere else in the world in one thousand nine hundred seven that number was only forty nine percent
11:54 pm
all of which by the way is rather startling given that the the the argument for medicare part d. you know not being able to import drugs was you can't dress those drugs from outside the country when eighty five percent of them right now are coming in from outside the country who are plastic and rubber industrial machinery machinery and we build that stuff in the u.s. anymore. now seventy seven percent of the plastic and rubber machinery in our country had to be imported from overseas as far as high tech stuff like electric computers. we rely on the rest of the world to sell sixty five percent of it back to us back in one thousand nine hundred seven just one nine hundred ninety seven a number which is thirteen percent we invented the transistor we invented the integrated circuit we invented television we invented radio we don't we invented computers we don't make any of those that anymore we are no longer self-sufficient we become slaves to trans national corporations who pull this off with the gimmick of so-called free trade behind each one of these fleeing industries is
11:55 pm
a c.e.o. like jeffrey immelt who took the cash and sold out his nation in exchange for cheap labor to maximize his and his stockholders paychecks these guys aren't the job creators that republicans would like you to believe they're the job movers who thanks to so-called global free trade are busy snatching up american jobs and moving them all over the world out of the reach of hard working honest americans and jeffrey is not alone there's other so-called job creators who are busy creating jobs now here in america but overseas. algoma hear the former c.e.o. of scott paper and bragged in a two thousand and six interview with p.b.s. i had a corporation where every person stood a chance to lose their job i got rid of thirty five percent of the people no wonder we rely on the rest of the world supply ninety two percent of our paper profits and
11:56 pm
there is frederick andersen former c.e.o. . between two thousand and two thousand and ten he laid up one hundred seventy five people those lately how many imported cars there are on the road by the way you will find american made cars are not very many of them anyway on the roads in south korea germany or japan they protect their domestic auto markets. there's bailed out citi group c.e.o. vikram pandit and laid off seventy five thousand u.s. workers all the while opening up more and more banks overseas so that now citi group has more banks around the world than any other u.s. bank thirty three thousand hewlett packard workers were shown the door by former c.e.o. mark hurd try to find a made new usa label on h.p. products after carly fiorina nerd's terrible rains of outsourcing and then there's james owens the former c.e.o. of caterpillar who in a rush to open up more factories in emerging foreign markets gave nearly twenty
11:57 pm
eight thousand u.s. workers in his company to pink slip all of these c.e.o.'s all of them are the millionaires and billionaires that republicans say we need to coddle with tax cuts so they'll do their magic and create shops and people don't create jobs they move jobs or just kill them outright and brag about it you see we don't have a debt crisis in america like the republicans are screaming about we have a jobs and manufacturing crisis so raise the damn debt ceiling get on with addressing the real crisis in this country the crisis created by our insane so called free trade policies and treaties and greedy corporate c.e.o.'s with way too much power. that's the big picture first night for more information on the stories we covered this is our web site to tom harkin dot com free speech dot org archie dot com also check out our two you tube channel is there a link to tom harkin dot com since our show is also available as a free video podcast on i tunes and we have a free thom hartmann i phone and i pad app in the app store so this feedback at
