into that only a military mechanism to know how to bring justice or accountability. i have to give me a right to know what my government's doing a lot of noise i pay taxes. but i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so sorely sleep you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here's some other part of it and realize that everything is ok and you don't. charge welcome to the big picture says. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right here.

i think iraq even funny well. whenever the government says they're going to keep you safe get ready because you're going to make your freedom. for. fun. for the.

well it's been called a jet that cannot be matched by any known or projected by it or aircraft a little like the titanic's rhetoric and interesting really it's a little bit of a similar story we're talking about the f. twenty two when it was built the air force was raving about its capabilities however the f. twenty two hasn't been flying anywhere as of late at twenty two that had a number of problems but recent reports say all of them have been grounded until further notice because of this latest thing at this anti-freeze propane oil fumes guess where those were found they were found in pilot's blood the air force figured this out when they noticed the pilots were acting weird they were acting drunk but this is really just the latest blow to the jets it's been touted as the most expensive and fearsome dogfighter of bird mechanical issues have riddled that

twenty two's program with everything from pilots being stuck inside the cockpit navigational problems to rough problems and sadly most of our lawmakers on capitol hill are aware of all the problems the f. twenty two has had but nobody has called for them to be stop being used until now until there was anti-freeze and pilot's blood so can we just called estimate is wasteful spending already and the pentagon is spent billions on faulty fighter jets it turns out the military was also paying too much for some of its helicopter parts an audit from the department of defense shows the army overpaid boeing one hundred and thirty one percent the rather than the army shelling out ten million dollars for parts they paid twenty three million dollars that's a pretty big difference and here's what's really interesting boeing the company responsible for the cart for the apache internet helicopters has only paid back one point three of the thirteen million dollars they owed the military and according to ross story the army has been hesitant to ask for the rest of its money back really

the relationship between boeing in the army is so cozy that they can't legitimately ask for their money back. even when the congress is scrambling for money and we're not talking about chump change we're talking about millions upon millions of dollars but it's really fits proof one more thing of the ties between our military and those over so coveted defense contractors and all they're a crucial piece after all they're a crucial piece to our country's military industrial complex you know where our nation has to keep the military that act and pack regardless of how beneficial they really are to our nation they see it coming a president eisenhower warned us about decades ago. our toil resources and livelihood are all involved so is the very structure of our society and the councils of government we must car guard against the acquisition of government influence whether store the loans or by the military industrial complex

the potentials or the disastrous rise of this place power exists and will persist. oh if only eyes and power in the this nation now and what has happened to our military has our politicians in washington continue to rely on defense contractors refuse to ask for money that they owe us barely ground their planes when pilots are getting anti-freeze in their blood i think you'd probably be rolling over in his grave. meanwhile back to the debt debate as it continues it may be bad news for the country but it is good news for some washington p.r. flacks and lawmakers trying to pull a quick one on the american people because it is a huge distraction so while everyone looks over here at the debt there are things going on over here under the radar the house a house panel approved a law that would force internet providers to keep logs of their customer's activities for one year in case police want to review them this includes ip

addresses names addresses phone numbers credit card numbers bank account numbers representing a giant data bank of every digital act by every american as one lawmaker put it but it's called the protecting children from internet pornographers act of two thousand and eleven very noble and that's because as the co-sponsor of the bill put it a republican from texas lamar smith he said quote every piece of prematurely discarded information could be the footprint of a child predator this bill ensures that the online book prints of predators are not a racist the problem is the information will be available to police investigating and the crime and maybe even attorneys working on civil disputes and it's maybe some invasive that the co-author of the patriot act says it goes too far in invading privacy the co-author of the patriot act really and yesterday we told you also about the amendments act the one built in two thousand and eight is signed to make warrantless wiretapping legal it doesn't expire until two thousand and twelve

but according to reports yesterday senators may have met behind closed doors to try to get it extended why now. but tell us what this all means in very real terms your civil liberties is julian sanchez he's a research fellow at the cato institute he follows all of this now my first question to you and thank you for being here it was a pleasure if you follow this you follow privacy very closely it is your thing do you normally see this much going on on capitol hill in one week having to do with name. really scary founding privacy lots. it was impressive which they managed to get done despite the fuss about the debt ceiling a little so the data retention is something that has been on the f.b.i.'s wish list for years and i certainly think they've been holding hearings on since january it is convenient they managed to bring it to a head just now when the press intentions elsewhere do you think they did it on purpose and why do you think because one of the analyses of this child pornography

bill is that because of the name because of the stated purpose it's very difficult politically for lawmakers to vote against it so why now during this you know under the radar time i you know i won't guess about whether that's on purpose or out of the schedule stated that it would be tricky to really plan a crisis like this to coincide with this particular bill i will say that it's interesting that if you look back at the hearings they had in january it was pretty clear that they were talking about data retention and they mentioned child pornography is one of the various things that you might find useful advice from agent work but it was clear that this was about a data retention proposal and so the idea that this was going to squeezed into something with headline to make people here you know if you talk to technology companies and talk to people who work at the service providers or providers you know they talk about this being a burden in this being something that's going to be a huge hassle for them expensive for them to comply with you know possibly create technical problems but it's also something that they're terrified of publicly opposing ok and you say that it's not really about child pornography well if you

like in your past interview that will save you know that this is something that one is in no way limited to look at the text of the provision that requires attention data that child pornography just says they have to keep information about the ip address or temporary routing address assigned to each account now it's that's incredibly big and they're entirely what it means but but it is clear that there's no way limited to child porn it's also clear that this is something that the when the g.a.o. looked at it when the governor bill. office the internal watchdog trying to check these claims that this was a problem they found that it wasn't a report that said you know what it turns out that most of the time when the f.b.i. or other one person agencies come and ask for information about who was using a certain ip addresses or time they're able to provide that and we're not able to provide it usually law enforcement can get that information by some other means and then what's the point of it. what the point i think is to one create if you create less hassle for

a whole range of different kinds of investigations it doesn't seem like this is a huge problem either but maybe there are other cases where it's more useful to be able to have this information for a longer period of time and again not just useful to law enforcement useful to anyone who wants to monitor an activity and you find monitored at what is going to be the parameter and it's going to be shady like that by them and that's where people really have to say what they're using up or well so the thing is there's an incredibly low standard in general for access to information held by third parties by corporations so we think of the fourth amendment requiring probable cause if someone wants to come into your home and look at the books that you're reading but the problem is that if you're comcast horizon has information about what sites you've been visiting or what address you were assigned when you were visiting different sites that's not considered your private information anymore and so they can get off and within your subpoena and that you know the same thing applies when you talk about private education if the. music industry the movie industry decide

they want to hunt down people who are visiting sites where movies and songs are traded if a corporation decides they want to find out he's been badmouthing them on the internet chat boards well if they can start litigation often as a result of your discovery in the early phase of litigation whether or not the litigation has any merit discover the identities of those people and again there's nothing to prevent a private entity from using using the information is stored for law enforcement purposes as information is. we'll do that in private education so basically anybody can get access to this but it sounds like it's kind of already happening well not just anyone can do that is that he was willing to you know essentially hire some lawyers certainly you know privately has a good chance of getting it for long but again it's become all that trivial for this kind of information but hackers that's the question the bank information this is addresses this is part of it is not clear exactly what has to retain the don't talks about retaining the temporary routing information that is associated with

each account what does that mean exactly normal people if you will is you know the problem normally you think about something like an ip address that you're assigned temporarily when you log in from home but the problem is if they just keep the ip address that's not very useful in itself what they want is the ability to associate that with a particular person well if that if you're comcast you're talking about assigning a particular ip address to a particular account that's no problem it becomes a lot for a cure when you think about things like a paid service where you're logging into the cyber cafe you may have a temporary you know allocation of time and you pay in cash or to have to be able to actually see that information back to the person who bought it it was very confusing but if i ever got my one question that sticks out it just yes or no one member of congress who led the opposition to this bill proposed naming it they keep every american digital data for submission to the federal government without a warrant act of two thousand and eleven is that more accurate you know my personal preference is for the you are all criminals act which is shorter and i think more

to the point because it reverses the usual presumption that we do a search when we think a particular person is guilty and the assumption behind this bill is we keep everyone's data we make the company store everyone's information for the government because anyone might be guilty there you go there you are all criminals that are being passed that house panel of all the debt debate rages on thank you for being here i was a pleasure now just ahead our tool time winner wants this off limits in the presidential campaign here's how they didn't follow their. an invite and on this friday we all need a good happy hour because the mean may not have one next friday of the country the default we'll show you a prime example of why us that offend are angry with congress plus a kitten needs a home but. he left too much like hillary no one will adopt him back in just a minute. but you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something

else hears you some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry becomes a big issue. early on. and you know. fuck fuck fuck. fuck.

let's not forget that we live in apartheid. i think. either one is well. we never got the book says here keep you safe get ready because their freedom. all right it is time for tonight's tool time award and it goes to you michele

bachmann and the minnesota congresswoman and two thousand and twelve presidential candidate is still refusing to answer questions about her husband's medical practice a few weeks ago you may recall it was exposed that marcus bachmann's clinic uses with cold repairer to their a-p. uses it on some patients it's a technique where the therapist tells patients they can quote pray the way they gay any of those feelings they have to say where they're gone now most medical organizations call the therapy hurtful and ineffective since news about the pray the gay away therapy broke michele bachmann has dodged numerous questions on the issue on thursday she was at the again about repaired of therapy at the national press club right here in washington but i am running for the presidency of the united states my husband is not running for the presidency neither are my children neither is or business neither is our foster children and i am more than happy to

stand for questions on running for presidency of the united states ok that's true or not so michelle wants her husband children and cost her children off limits during the campaign i think that's wise of the congresswoman but here's the problem michele bachmann has a little bit of a credibility issue here see you can't demand that your husband be left alone during a presidential campaign when you yourself went after barack obama's wife during his campaign. it was michelle obama who said she's only recently proud of her country and so these are very anti-american views that's the way most americans feel about our country most americans chris are wild about america and they're very concerned to have a president who doesn't share those values. why that was michele bachmann going after michelle obama in october of two thousand and eight that was before michelle obama became first lady she was just the spouse of

a candidate just like marcus bachmann is today the whole credibility issue for michele bachmann kind of goes right out the window in this michelle obama became purse lady it hasn't stopped the congresswoman has still been attacking her bachmann isn't happy that earlier this year the first lady advocated for more new mothers to breastfeed their newborns moments ago republican congresswoman michele bachmann possibly a twenty presidential candidate challenging that idea on the laura ingram radio show saying these efforts give new meaning to the term any state. bachmann was it that the classified breast pumps as deductible medical care purchases she claimed the government was using the tax code as social engineering and part of a nanny state mentality while that may be her opinion it's also attacking the ballast of a candidate or a fellow politician she can't say scrutiny of her husband is out of bounds but she's free to attack michelle obama any time she feels like it campaign presidency

doesn't matter she's fair game so for being a blatant hypocrite we're getting our friday chill time award to michele bachmann and i have a feeling she's going to win a few more before the two thousand and twelve presidential race is over. all right it's friday happy friday and joining me for happy hour is our chief producer jenny churchill and alex bites of all he's a reporter and blogger for think progress dot org and the progress report thanks guys for being here it's happy friday last friday before a possible default and her story as mantua armageddon was approaching last night and politicians were malling over how to avoid it they put aside their differences for you minutes to vote on something really important renaming post office to.

be turned twenty five forty eight a bill to just meet the facility of the united states postal service located at sixty three ten university street in fury and illinois is the charles chip lawrence tram post office building i offer dislike. is there that this is right before a financial armageddon post office name change i mean what is the deal they're breaking for this what i find really interesting was even more than that apparently thirteen per cent of all bills that have made it to obama says that he has signed have been about renaming. i mean is that the only thing our government can get done and they're going to i mean this is incredibly important stuff going on here you know the renaming of post office i can think of anything more important aside from maybe saving the entire world economy by raising the debt ceiling but the reason this happened is because john boehner is a totally ineffectual speaker of the house and couldn't get his caucus in line to actually vote on a bill his own bill the republican bill so there's

a scramble last night was amazing to watch this new freshman franklin for his you know really spent any time just given these talking points and he seemed to have no clue what was going on any better than anyone else you know talking about renaming post office is what we're four days away from oh well let's keep in mind they would just run. and they're going to close one in ten post offices i would love to hear that you know some of the post offices that we voted on are actually now being closed now i mean that's really sad that the iraq could either love it was not sure it was thing to do sensitive post office hear about because no i say we're saying like you know this is the financial armageddon post office this is the we can't accomplish anything so we're going to rename you post office i would be at least funny. instead of washington's worthless it's all i can nothing matters nothing ever changes the post office is open in your district now. john boehner cries number one postcode president or two post office yes there you go on those bills will see how this has turned out in the meantime and salem indiana neighbors were

very stunned when a drunk man driving a car with a trailer attached on the back hit a tree i guess that might happen you know occasionally but here's where it gets interesting it turns out that he's actually a local cop who runs one of the dare programs at a nearby school. not only a police officer but according to the seymour p.d. website is the school resource officer responsible for seven schools acting as a mentor and providing students with the role model and even state that he conducts lectures on our conduct and alcohol and their effects on driving. while. i mean that just brings irony to a whole new level but i mean i think that it's quite obvious what was happening here he was trying to teach the kids a less then. he was trying to make a point and say kids look this is what happens when you don't do what i say in our classes you end up on the news bloody and disheveled i think really is kind of a hero i mean if you put his body on the law and just to teach

a very valuable lesson that contradicts everything that the teachers and schools and it is i guess that's pretty much par for the course when it comes to describe programs which have been proven that i think according to studies they actually contribute to drug use among. teens are among kids that take them and apparently their teachers to. do something lighter. actually not out like an animal lovers know that animal shelters are filled with a lot of pets who need homes and if they don't get them they usually end up euthanized but shelter in england is having a lot of trouble finding a home for this cat and it's because it has a hitler mustache and they're not making it easier because the kiddies name is kettler. i don't even know what to think about this i love kettler i do. actually see ok so i have this whole theory i really really hate cats

i think cats are actually the worst creatures on the face of the planet and i'm convinced that they are trying to kill me it's a conspiracy there are many influences that have led me to believe that however i like to be means open about it you'd like to hear your fears no no no killers out there he's saying look i'm here to kill you i'm trying to take over the world no bones about it i'm all here i don't cover no i'm judging killer like i judge every other cat so i'm like hitler as a name but i think there's a lot of opportunities for other dictators that i missed out here i mean you know chairman yeah. we. could have done a lot better here you know i know that i'm a session piece that a little bit you know we were around. and this could play right into your conspiracy theory oh well i think that we really need to start doing research because one of our twitter followers actually tweeted us a picture of a different killer germany ok so we've got you know i had it on and waiting and i think i mean they're everywhere and it's frightening and everyone should it's

not because it's actually even not even a whole help our messages just to have which just shows how can i say no i'm going to respect his reasonable answer that it will not and that will be honest i'm going to hitler you know try to shave off the most me half way through as i'm sure are. all right let's move on to corky we hope it gets adopted after all the attention we've brought to it it's a familiar if this is someone somewhere is going to be offended by an advertisement whether it's on a magazine on a on a t.v. commercial you can't please everyone but here are a few that are making waves recently summer's eve if you're not familiar with it i'm going products it has caught some flak after it made featuring. vaginas that were appealing to every race. from jack and i i another layover after traveling all day you expect me to feel good.

i have seen how much time you spend styling your hair and trust me your hair can't possibly do it and i. downed can do. i mean you have the race is you have the stereotype and you have the diner talking talking about diners i actually use that in my viral spiral last week because i could fire a spiral by the way for everyone who's watching can be found in the aisle and shows you to page every friday. so it could not believe that you know they were using a talking vagina and especially like the black one has an afro you know all of one goes like are you kidding me i'm not even going to go to the hour because i'm going to what do you say to your guy i mean i'm not a woman i'm sympathetic to are trying to push the limits a little bit be a little rock of what i think this is clearly over the line i mean it's like sexist and racist like a little bit graphic i don't know. the last one just like goes off into

a spanish tirade. it's like who thought this would be a good idea like hey i do this so i don't look at racially uncomfortable things it's also just completely uncomfortable to watch a talking vagina tell you about feminine products there's nothing smart about this this is going nowhere you have time to show one more real quick ad oh we're done. and other news airbrushed ads got pulled from britain and got milk ads want to educate people about him that no cats were funny what i want to know is who is hiring these people to make these ads because they clearly are not even making it. i don't know i got milk i was really funny i was actually there it is got no i mean i'm sorry women need to get a sense of humor if you want to use p.m.s. as an excuse for everything you do wrong people make fun of you for having pm as you have to suck it up and take it and on that note we are going to. back it up and end the show thank you for being here that is it for tonight's show thank you for tuning in make sure to come back on monday we'll have the latest on the economy alone it will be back thank you everybody for letting me to lend to the doctor
