brokenly alone a show for real headlines with none of the mercy from a lot of washington d.c. and i'm back but i just want to say thank you to lauren lister for filling in for me last week she did a fabulous job now tonight we're going to speak to jake ugur of the young turks about how progressives should feel about this new get deal let's just say if the words just crumpled sold out furious all of those come to mind are you speak to lieutenant colonel anthony shaffer about the possibility for massive defense cuts

in this debt deal and how to deal cons are already already having a collective heart attack before anything concrete is even happening and while congress in the white house may want you to think that they just saved america from default what about the american economy altogether what about the unemployed there are now more than two million ninety nine er's so we're going to speak to one of them were you have all that and more for you tonight but first let's take a look at what the mainstream media has decided to miss. right so as of the last night the president announced that party leaders had agreed to a new debt deal and as of now we're still waiting for a final vote that's going to take place tomorrow but it does look like we probably just escape that disastrous default it has become the ultimate headache and heartache for journalists americans investors you know basically everybody in the world for what's for once i must congratulate the mainstream media for just a moment because yes this is a huge story and yes they're actually covering it but that doesn't mean that

they're doing it well the restorers let me give you the details of this plan obviously has yet to be voted on but if in fact that a guarantee is a two point four trillion dollar hike to our already fourteen trillion dollars debt limit and the process would work in two steps four hundred billion and borrowing off where you could be granted to the treasury and mediately after that. president obama will be allowed to extend the debt limit by five hundred billion which congress can do a vote of disapproval on which obama can then veto so essentially nine hundred billion is guaranteed now that nine hundred billion raise is going to be paired with nine hundred billion dollars in discretionary spending cuts and that's going to spread out over ten years so in comes around two obama's then going to be able to raise the debt limit by one point five trillion dollars more and that's paired with a brand new bipartisan super congressional committee being formed and they'll have to agree to a minimum of one point two trillion dollars in cuts and if they fail to reach that agreement of one point two trillion then it's going to trigger an across the board

cuts of one point two trillion half from domestic spending and half coming from defense now those are the details of this a not very well thought out last minute deal and this deal could have a devastating impact for average americans poor americans especially for those who need it many of the social programs the most but guess what those are the programs that are going to be cut tax revenues are nowhere nowhere to be found in the supposed compromise but who cares about the larger implications right this is what the mainstream media decided to focus on and spent tireless hours discussing we're following every development going on in this nail biter washington just hours before the deadline to raise that debt limit it's a close he's a very talented vote or vice president biden is coming to the hill today through try and sell the deal. john better yet some trouble last week could he do it that's the magic question in terms of a debt deal thus far who won. well if you can really two losers here in terms of

the democrats and the republicans. that's right more of that inside the beltway crap that nobody outside the beltway in the new york d.c. media bubble cares about donald trump says no oh my god seriously most people are probably asking why does anyone care that this one man who is not an elected official is what you could describe as a media whore. what do you see it have to say about that he has bad hair why do they care oh and then of course one politician said something crazy so the mainstream media in turn went crazy over it you have been coming out of your caucus calling this agreement a sugar coated satan sandwich was that indeed your quote is that how you feel about this deal if i were a republican i would be guessing in the streets i don't have any oh dear the republicans wanted that we didn't get on the surface it looks like a certain sin which. seriously satan sandwich who cares i'll tell you what they could be talking about instead of sandwiches or what donald trump had to say about

the way that this deal is actually going to change america the way they want to help get our economy out of the gutter the way that will probably keep unemployment high won't ask anymore of the ration will only hurt those who are still suffering is the beginning of the end of the new deal of so many those accomplishments of the twentieth century that most people feel made america great because that's what people are going to remember you know how about the space program the first man to walk on the moon the first lunar car that nasa made to drive on the moon that by the way happened forty years ago that's what other countries aspired to be but no one talks about that anymore he thought of the he said she said on capitol hill and americans are feeling it a new poll from the hill out today finds that one third of likely voters now think their america's best days are over and they're probably right and those half of likely voters in this poll that think the best days are still ahead well they probably just don't know any better you know why because the mainstream media doesn't bother telling them about the upper questions as this is going to have about the way of the social fabric of this country is changed by the death of the

middle class and i go back to we now live and if we talk or see our government doesn't work for us for special interests and those who live their pockets that's of this entire debt fiasco is highlighted for as a once again confidence brought to the forefront i had that's not the mainstream media who lives in this tiny little bubble who has no connection to the real world anymore who talks about sandwich. and donald trump and tweets instead of housing and jobs inequality the death of democracy well that's what they choose to miss. so the new debt ceiling colludes a lot of cuts and for now absolutely no tax revenue that's not exactly we would call a compromise or a shared sacrifice or whatever other horrible rhetoric the mainstream media has decided to sell to pretend like this was even an even or a fair fight than most people would say and most people would probably be correct in saying that the democrats lost this one but did the democrats really want to see

the other thing or here is the president kate on this one they have to start asking did he really kate how are these concessions exactly what the white house wanted all along knowing that it would change the social fabric knowing that it wouldn't get the economy out of the gutter it hoping all along that they could blame it on someone else maybe the tea party or the republicans and get americans to look the other way earlier of the young turks and i first asked him if he thinks that the real losers here are the american people. of course i would you know it's a disaster in every way imaginable you know they say that it democrats didn't want to do this they have a funny way of constantly doing things they claim they don't want to do and giving the republicans one hundred percent over and over again you know as bush used to say who me once shame on you. again so is. your pool again i mean tells you to give the republicans argue percent of what

they want and still call yourself a democrat and look at problems for the american people because it tremendous cuts and who pays the price of middle class pays a price and obviously those who are poor in this country pay huge huge price with these cuts but the rich get away scot free include again no revenue increases whatsoever they get to keep all the loopholes all their exemptions their corporate jets subsidies their oil subsidies they don't pay a dime the rest of us too. yeah must be nice well you know since you already brought it out how can you do it so many times and still call yourself a democrat and let's we're going to expand through all this but first let's focus on just the president here to lot of argument three hearings that well the poor president he just had its hands tied and you know he couldn't you couldn't do anything here but in the things that they the plan that obama always wanted hasn't he been the one that's been pushing for huge cuts for austerity for cutting

entitlements programs as well. well two things on our front two huge supporters of the president have flipped today and he gives you an indication emanuel cleaver is the head of the congressional black caucus and up until last week he was saying it's not fair to criticize the president and liberals are asking for too much they've got to tone down their expectations today he called this deal a satan sandwich now i don't know what that is but it sounds really bad he says this please john conyers was the first person in congress to endorse senator obama then for president and he is saying thousands should go to the white house to protest over this terrible deal for the american people so you get a sense of the really diehard supporters of the president saying come on now enough is enough this is beyond outrageous second of all you have to understand where president obama's real intent is look he put social security on the table where the republicans weren't even asking for now luckily as disastrous as this deal is it

does not get involved social security but wait till the super congress kicks in around thanksgiving and today president obama measured it again he said well we're looking forward to you know the next stages where we do in title reform which means where we cut your source security and medicare and he's obsessed with it almost more so than a republican president. he is obsessed with a but why does he get to keep getting away with that right because i think you could speculate that well perhaps he's doing this so he can seem centrist and moderate so he can get some of the independents on with belt when it comes to reelection but what i want democrats who are progressive the specially who essentially have been you know have their faces seen by this president why don't they go back and vote for him again. though for me the straw that broke the camel's back was a long long time ago and there was you know if i'm going to be generous i'll say that it was when he agreed to the bush tax cuts again in december for seemingly no apparent reason i mean it was an unbelievable collapse it seeking others longer to

get there but believe me now a lot of them or their crewing today wrote an article a new york times song about how this is a disaster of epic proportions obama gave in on every single thing. that performance should congressman congressman cleaver you know before he was saying you know not only don't criticize the president he had this amazing quote about how look the president of course can't afford to help african-americans because then you know his service will criticize him for being you know black playing favorites but it goes there was a point about being a black president is i can help like people but as you can see he lost cleaver today i mean he's just lost one progressive after another and i think after this epic collapse people are going to finally look around and go why why are we voting for this guy or why do we keep supporting this guy when he's cutting it as much if not more than a republican president what well i have an idea how about the fact that the white house and this president especially always gets her point

a finger and say let's look at who the other option is. yes of course that's the game they've been playing all along another game that they do is they send out their meaning you know whether it's on t.v. shows online shows or online blogs to say if you ever criticize the president well then you're helping the republicans know if i don't criticize the president i'm helping the republicans because apparently the only thing the president responds to is pressure and all he gets is pressure from the right wing and you see what the president does when he gets right wing pressure he crumbles he's a house of cards again if you're being generous to him and you think his intent is actually progressive and we think is intent is actually to go along with them all well then we've got a much worse problem but i'm tired of listening too and i certainly i saw it was in those guys a long time ago everybody should stop listening to people say oh if you criticize the president you're helping republicans that's nonsense if you don't criticize the president you're helping republicans get exactly what they want from this president ok so are you done with this president he lets the fire look at his track record he

not only has extended many of the bush era policy as when it comes to our war on terror when it comes to the erosion of our civil liberties but now also when it comes to america's economy and especially the social fabric of this country the entitlement programs what a lot of people did say made this country great in the twentieth century now he's thrown out of the window here are you done. so look i even at this late juncture i hesitate in saying it but here's what i mean by that salute so we're clear on this look again the republican alternative is worse i know mitt romney mitt romney is one hundred percent corporate but he said this deal was not true tony aminah so i am not idealistic. exact opposite and i know that it goes from bad to worse but i think should a president be primaried absolutely for two very important reasons number one if we go to an election where only options are corporal got mitt romney and the man who

gives corporal butts everything they want barack obama but those are terrible options and they say oh well there's a third option that's even scarier michele bachmann how about a fourth option now not in the general election but in a primary we say hey at least give us somebody to vote for who is actually a progressive i don't know if it's you know bernie sanders i don't know if it's russ feingold but at this point i can't it's hard to imagine a democrat being worse than president obama on all the issues that you mention so by all means we should do it in the important were to is look we've actually only be helping him because racial wisdom is their primary sort of president but you've got to understand something he this guy is heading off a cliff and he's the unemployment disaster is and when we do the spending because it's only going to get worse if you primary him and push him to the left you to only be helping him in trying to win the actual general election because if you don't primary him and they do the second round of these cuts and they cut in title months and he goes into the summer with over nine percent unemployment he's going

to hit poll numbers he's never seen before he's going to hit into the thirty's and he's had a panic but by that time it's going to be too late i have seen mention finegold you mentioned bernie sanders there but do you think that they are real progress is any more i mean can you name anybody in this country it's an elected official anymore who doesn't serve corporate interests and those who essentially pay them over those who elect that. look that's why i always say this isn't personal i don't think that these politicians are bad people i'm sure they love their kids paedo they used to say about the soviet union a cure the russians love their kids i was always positive of that i was by that could be comically obvious but anyway it's not about that it's that you've got the wrong system where politicians collect paychecks from special interest lobbyists and most importantly multinational corporations so obviously they work for the people who sign their paychecks so there are very very few people that are not affected by this virus bernie sanders and russ feingold are the two best examples

i'm sure i could find you a couple more but not much more than that even the good guys realize the quote unquote reality of the system and wind up having to raise a lot of money from those same interests and then eventually over time get corrupted i'll see if americans actually realize that next time that the elections come around now that essentially they have been sold out to corporate interests that there's no real revenues in this bill at all it's only cuts cuts cuts and of course most economists would agree that this is only going to make the employment situation worse and the economy worse overall mccain thanks so much for joining us tonight. thank you. our we're taking a quick break but coming up there's a glimmer of hope when it comes said the absence of women's health he tells on that in just a moment i am going to take a look at the effects of this debt compromise on a personal scale because they can advocate for the ninety nine er's the ones that are dealing with chronic unemployment the same as they can.

get some closure see a story at the scene so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here's some of the part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm charge of the big picture. and yet though. fuck fuck fuck fuck.

let's not forget that we live in apartheid right leg i think iraq is even funny well. whenever the government says they're for keeping us safe kids graduate because you're going to lose your freedom. the sky. light will come down. so fast

you can i or others will be singing. a gentleman and most importantly ladies we have a glimmer of hope in the darkness that is the debt ceiling deal we do have a little bit of like the department of health and human services has an ounce of they will now have new guidelines beginning a year from now and they're going to require health insurance companies to cover we've been sell services and that might sound a little broad but the new regulations that brought about under president obama's affordable care act will include the following services without making women pay a deductible or a co-pay that includes breast exams breast feeding support just ational diabetes domestic violence screenings well women exams and all have to approve methods of birth control even the morning after pill all of those now going to be included under these new regulations this is a huge milestone when it comes to improving women's access to health care overall and we know that half of women according to studies forgo or delay preventive care

because they can't afford it and under the affordable care act that all changes. so a lot of women's rights groups are now championing this latest announcement which has been a topic of discussion ever since institute of medicine report came out last month in favor of free contraception for all women now of course you can imagine how much the right wingers in fox news just hated that idea many women are good for you blasted out of their minds when they have search and are going to control anyway why should why should taxpayers have to fund. birth control look women should be responsible for their own well you're right there i know but if you cannot support a five dollar proper cino at starbucks but you can pay your five dollars copay you know. all three of those clips left me shot i mean o'reilly probably just running his mouth looking for a little bit of attention. but i would love to add the data where she lives of five dollars copay maybe that's just the perks of having one of those hefty fox news

paychecks but the sites were conservatives try to tell women what they can and can't do in their own bedrooms just a few months ago when it came to abortion i mean i agree women should be responsible for their own ovaries and these new guidelines are a great way to help women take care of themselves get the real medicare medical care that they need and that ladies and gentleman is a true glimmer of hope. while congress was fighting over the debt ceiling over the last few months guess what they weren't doing focusing on jobs remember that's all republicans promise to make a priority during the midterm elections. instead what we've seen is a congressional body that's not only passive you're austerity cuts that will not help the economy pick up steam again we've also seen them completely ignore those americans who need work and the numbers of those who've been out of work for a long time those ninety nine er's those numbers are only getting larger as of june there are now more than two million americans who've been out of work for ninety nine weeks or longer and that's the highest about numbers been since as began being

tracked by the b.l.s. even worse congress didn't include any extension in this debt deal for unemployment benefits which means the ninety nine week program is going to expire at the end of this year and anybody who loses their job after july first of this here well they're only going to get twenty to twenty six weeks of unemployment total so seeing as how no stimulus or jobs or part of this supposed bar get a means of more people are going to be hurt joining me to discuss this is rhonda taylor advocate for the ninety nine er's national front i want to thank you so much for joining us tonight if you could start by telling us a little bit about your own situation how long you've been out of work. i've been at work in april of two thousand means my unemployment benefit benefits ran out in march two thousand and i have used my life saving ground where i was and that i didn't want to maintain a roof over my head continually look for work when you were being watching the government run directly for the colonel in the last few years and you were getting frustrated with the lack of response when the government or any mention of the

people that are out there right now do you think genocide and so you often have is just very frustrating to watch it at home and. do you feel like and i guess that unemployment benefits are a necessity for you because there are a lot of welfare the argue that that just makes you lazy that makes you a leech off the government you'd rather just collect paychecks from the government from the taxpayers that maybe even you know stoop so low as to go try to get a job and donald. i tried mcdonald's they're not hiring a sequel didn't realize the god is going to save this country or in a crisis that we are so they need to wake up and look around them and realize they're just coming to their swords guarding that's how jobs now because we've been out of the economy for so long forgotten line of right line. i'm going to go home if i don't get a job then it just is temporary in the end in order to help us move it's current

and they're ignoring the fact of the matter is now just adding more ninety nine er's to our ninety nine er numbers we don't want more people going home with that too growing baby if the shelters are full or the funding cuts out so we want a russian i'm not even. there discussing everything else that is not the crisis in this country are either not discussing them as we've watched them you know very in the back and forth struggle for months over the deficit which most americans if you look at polls don't think that's the biggest problem we have right now it is about jobs that you feel forgotten by or lawmakers or what emotions that come to my anger anger frustration and that you are millions out there that we are organized we may not march the story but we're organized the mere fact that we will take punishment on all government amount of what started you know you've been around for failing to

acknowledge that there is an unemployment crisis for making us a big them and we're nori if you created culture problem and this is a crisis they should be thinking. they should they should be done with this. year and a half two years ago i've been out of work one hundred and seventy eight we do the math it was jobs out there it's ninety nine we were going up i went and job is. not one hundred seventy eight we built and i have a college education and i bring to the table and i do that but the government is ignoring the problem and creating more fear in this country and making it harder for people like me and my group to get out there a child that i want but i know you mentioned that you may not be out marching on the streets like i can afford it and you don't have two dollars for bread you can't

afford to go get your car you can afford a bus but the longer you go without money i've gone almost a year and a running my savings. there are other people who didn't half there are together three it's hard to organize speak when we don't have any they don't have a zero and they don't have. priorities change survival we have to pay attention many people who are in her but it will more the country we are living a third world america and in fact. what do you think that it can stop or do you think that perhaps some of what used to be the american dream is now over because jobs have been taken over seas because companies continue to take those jobs overseas. i think if we correct a bad call. and we start fixing our america today will not only fix the american dream for us. but for my kids tomorrow what we have.

i think we can fix it but we can't do it with the climate that's happening in washington they're all about no if one's right that we're right no one discussing problems. and we're reminded they worked on the debt ceiling and got kundan you ever heard much about unemployment and i think one of the. weirs that new car this station right the other station nor that they don't want to talk about it where should we are like the elephant in the room that nobody wants. why do you think that is made up something i brought up just earlier on the show too that the mainstream media for some reason doesn't really want to address the larger issues because it's so much easier of course to focus on the he said she said of the daily affairs on capitol hill but why are people like you ignored i think we're not because we're we heard ari on the democratic side we heard president obama because we are added to the number of unemployment the unemployment rate then right so

therefore it may be somewhat more on that we're not part of that the republicans were not part of that has been done but definitely not they only offer lots of insults and they go away that's part of it there's nothing in it for them besides they don't realize we are both really arguing and we're not going to pick between that and that we're going to pick the person that represents the so will you vote for president obama in two thousand and twelve considering he hasn't addressed jobs at this point no i have not chosen my candidate a long time away from election. i want to lose their grip provide brokers in order for ninety nine hundred. million under. our brand i want to thank you very much for joining us tonight talking about your story and as i said as of june there are now two million other people like you out there in america have been unemployed for ninety nine weeks or more and those numbers just might go up and as of now no

extension on those benefits so of course good luck to you and i thank you so much and. well still to come tonight anti muslim law pamela geller seems sided with the north very shooter and bomber and there is a break in her latest post for displaying why a moment and could there actually be defense cuts that you'll explain why the neo cons are freaking out when we speak with lieutenant colonel anthony shaffer we'll be right back. into a little bit with the mechanisms that do go to bring justice or accountability. i have the right to know what my government you want to know why i think. i would characterize obama as a charismatic. of american exceptionalism.
