a nice program all this default crisis was averted but we want to know if it really had to come to such a dramatic climax so we asked our viewers if they thought the congress propertied of that crisis was going to produce or patrice in a sense you to find out what you had to say. let's say you were in debt for fourteen thousand five hundred dollars and you could tell the bank that you promised to reduce your debt by two hundred ten dollars a year over the next ten years oh and by the way you need to increase your line of credit as well so it's kind of straightforward right well if you add a bunch of zeros that laugh about the same deal the federal government decided on after weeks of what they called an economic crisis so how many of our viewers felt that the whole crisis over the debt ceiling was just manufactured by washington or chris killed he said the whole thing was a sham gilgamesh told us as for this so-called crisis of course this is just politics just a bunch of nonsense to distract from the real crisis it i must say they just wanted
6:33 pm
this crisis to take a cash advance on our bank of china credit card and then make it defendable the voters even the president called it a manufactured and avoidable crisis given what the last few weeks were like and the final agreement that came out of all this crisis talk it's probably time for all of us to hold onto our seats because the really hard decision about to get is still to come. now in just a few minutes will be interviewing a man who calls himself and average american who posted a video on you tube select congress and the president know how he feels about the economy and their inaction and the video has become a hit so should more americans start doing the same thing if you think what is the best way for average americans to get their voice heard on washington and the media you can respond to us on. facebook twitter and you tube and knows the response it just might make on it. well seems that the air force just can not get a break when it comes to their fighter jets last week we told you about mechanical
6:34 pm
problems with the air force is most expensive and fearsome dogfighter that twenty two after pilots are reporting dizziness a medical report found anti-freeze propane and burns synthetic oil in there's blood streams to that rust navigational problems and that twenty two has been grounded until further notice well now the cousin of the f. twenty two the f. thirty five has been grounded as well lockheed martin's other aviation project has reported electrical and engine problems during ground testing that's quite a contrast to all the lavish praise all the boastful commentary the lockheed has been spewing all over town about the thirty guys this isn't even the first time the engine problems have surfaced in the development phase far from an impact or engine functions in the record all the way back to may of two thousand and seven and even spending half the politicians have been skeptical of the mass production of those fire jets and as of now twenty f. thirty five have reached flying status but until all of the glitches are worked out the air force says the planes aren't moving it's not exactly the finest moment for the joint strike fighter program the f.
6:35 pm
thirty five is the designed to be second only to the f. twenty two as of now both of those jets are facing serious problems there not even the lying oh let's not forget these two jets are considered the future of our air force and of course the pentagon has already dropped hundreds of millions of dollars on the production for the f. to the twenty two's and the thirty five and yes the f. thirty five are quite the investment at ninety million dollars apiece and the g.o.p. wants to buy twenty four hundred more of them for a total price of three hundred eighty two billion dollars but then wait a minute when you add in maintenance figures the total estimated cost of the f. thirty five comes to one trillion dollars and yes it would seem trillion there you have it folks the most expensive military project in history and it doesn't even work it's just the latest disgusting example of wasteful defense spending. so we keep hearing from media personalities pundits experts lawmakers all about the political struggles that are going on in washington over that kills and the like
6:36 pm
but what about average americans do they have any voice and he say earlier this week we spoke to a ninety nine er a woman who's been out of work for three years and feels forgotten by her government and she's not the only one take a look at this video from a man who describes himself as an average guy and he's got a message for washington you clowns keep this up and i will guarantee you this you can forget about the tea party you can fit every republican party of the democratic party or george soros i mean there is yahoos that are out there the american public are going to stand up and say we're mad is hero and we're not going to take it anymore and all of you guys are going to get your butts thrown out. and so far that video has over a million hits on line so that could put this into perspective for it as to how many people might be feeling the same way tonight let this man tell us why i posted the video and see if he has even more to say to the president and to congress join me for discussing his dr james garvin chief operating officer with
6:37 pm
a leading group james thanks so much for joining us tonight so you're mad as hell that's what you said in the video it labrat more for us exactly why that is. but i really think the issue is with the video was what was expressing what i was expressing was a conversation that i was some friends. and there's just a high degree of frustration i'm not sure that anybody in washington or in the white house and in this is true for either side of the aisle whether it's republicans or democrats i don't think that they really get the level of frustration that's out there with the american people when when you have eighty two percent of the people the congress should take a paper until they get the economy worked out when you've got people who disapprove of the job the congress is doing to seventy eight percent when the president basically only has a forty percent approval rating of forty two percent approval rating what you really beginning to see is an awful lot of kind of perverse frustration that people
6:38 pm
in power in washington or essential ignoring and one of the things that i said when somebody asked me to say something about the state of the day is is there what we keep hearing news that if you don't understand how washington works it's very complicated and you must appreciate this and know we don't know if washington has become that complicated it's become debt different car then the whole thing needs to be disassembled and put back together again because that's that's not how that system is supposed to work. we it's just this level of frustration i think is very high in what i express netbios seems to tap some panic or nerves within people and you know it's kind of a million two hundred thousand hits on just staggers me but. there you go well i wonder about that so you know i think you made a good point there about all of these polls. that show at the sentiment of americans right now so it's not like congress would know they just have to look at
6:39 pm
some polls that in my help and get an idea of course you can always take them you know without a bit of a grain of salt but so they are ignoring the issue it seems why did your. it has to go to you to make you think that that was a good way to get through to washington or to have them hear your message. i wish i would have been declared void and then intelligent my my son knows a lot more about all of this than i do and i was telling him about the conversation he said did you should make a video posted on you tube but i didn't do that he's the one that opened my huge if we can a couple years ago he said go you just pick a mac and you do this and he load it up and it will be on there you know i'm going to get thirty get that book boys make great thirty people responded to what i so what i said but. it really was frustration that was being vented but i didn't have any grand plan of referring to cage either of congress or revenue cage of the white house i was just letting this frustration out because i think there are
6:40 pm
a lot of people who do feel ok but the more that i've seen the responses that have come in i do think that there is an underlying massive way of discontent that's brewing but i do think it's going to make itself felt in the upcoming elections and i think there are a lot of incumbents democrats republicans those that make any difference i think there are a lot of incumbents they're going to be in trouble because i think people are just sort of had enough and they'd rather try somebody completely new than go with with the big head in the past i'll tell you how disconnected it is i looked at a chart you know today we're in the worst economic times we've had i mean we've had to to cut benefits we've had to lay people off we've had to reduce and the white house step between two thousand and ten and two thousand and eleven this year raise their salaries from anywhere from twenty three percent to eighty three percent so while the rest of us are having to cut back white house is actually getting the
6:41 pm
sense it has fine phenomenon just al i'm not sorry about that exact that has taken a death i know that the white house salary. these have continually gone up over the years but do you think you know you talk about this dissatisfaction discontent amongst the american people do you think that it's a unifying one is it all over the economy is the issue big enough to get everybody to come together and as you said to vote people out or is there a lot of division in the way that they're supposedly is in congress when it comes to should you raise taxes or should you cut programs instead. i think that one consensus i mean i've got a number of something it was so i'm only that's my sample of of data that i'm looking at but the consensus that i sort of views of people really want to a balanced budget. they really do want the the budget to come into balance just like all the rest of us have to operate our businesses operate our homes and one aside i will tell you that those statistics came from going from the unit of was
6:42 pm
her journal so that i think they're pretty accurate but the director of african american media affairs has soured was raised eighty three percent i mean there was a whole list of them doing it so it's a pretty startling thing when you when you look at it it's it just flies in the face of of work people would think in example should be said by the white house and by members of congress as i'm curious to know because you said that out is kill better watch out and the americans might vote them out and just try somebody new just for the habit of but do you think that you can still really change the system by working within the system that we currently have i mean maybe there needs to be a bigger shake out i don't know maybe there needs to be a revolution or allegorical for arab spring is just voting new people at the same system really going to be enough. well it's always interesting to me. because we have this system i don't think the system is flawed it's the participants within
6:43 pm
the system which are flawed i was i was dumbstruck i remember when we were in on the attack in libya i want to make a point here that and khadafi said oh it's ok to it's ok to it's the terrorists it's ok you know so now we have this big debit fight and suddenly you get people coming on t.v. saying oh they're parting their acting like terrorists threatening my parents and it just struck me that any time you attack those in power you always want to point the finger of blame but i think that sort of guying out and within within that frame. that we have this constitutional representative type of government we have i think there's plenty of room for us to be able to make the kinds of changes that we need without having to go to revolution that goes outside the system i do think you have a revolution internal to the system and i think they can be very effective and i'm hoping that people begin to embrace this and understand that the reason these guys are not is because we put them here so far more change than we have to take them
6:44 pm
out of office and put somebody else in office r.j. i want to thank you very much for joining us tonight i doubt i think that there are a lot of americans or from whom i've spoken to what i've been reading that are also hoping for some kind of change thanks so much thank you so much. for coming out tonight goes green and that from the ira fox news we have more on that tonight still time segment and an unhappy hour a former presidential candidate is making money for the carts and everything else and i laugh at the last california police go after a vendor selling a product that you just i'm not. into it only a military mechanisms to do the work to bring justice and accountability. i have every right to ignore my government through if you want to know why i pay taxes. well i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism.
6:45 pm
you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you did something else here's some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't . charge welcome pacific ocean. let's not forget that we had in a parked car. i think. well. we're never going to be safe get ready for freedom.
6:46 pm
6:47 pm
a part in tonight's poll tide of war we call the last night their fate outrage over obama's ramadan proclamation but now the gang has a problem with nickelodeon sponge bob square pants and yes you heard me right the character who lives in a pineapple under the sea apparently he is a major threat to the future of children of the u.s. now they're just outraged the department of education invited children from washington to a reading about it or nickelodeon gave out free books on the series sponge bob goes green and earth friendly adventure take a look at the reaction of steve doocy. he headed out these these particular nickelodeon books where clearly nickelodeon is pushing a global warming genda and wall there is no disputing the fact that the earth is getting a little warmer but big question is is it manmade or is it just one of those gigantic climactic you know phases that we're going for. sorry steve but there is really not a whole lot of debate left over the whole climate change thing almost every
6:48 pm
scientist in the world agrees that it's happening to probably our fault but only debate is why the g.o.p. refuses to believe it even exists or the three are now produced you had a little rant david briggs who was guest hosting chimed in and again this is a public education system that we all pay our tax dollars for in the sponge bob book says that it's a man made problem that requires human it revenge if a person. yes they really are going after sponge bob square pants for trying to get kids to read and learn about the environment you know what's going to slow morning for fox and friends or maybe they just temporarily ran out of ways to call obama well i'm not sure but this sort of attack really is nothing new for that the theme to be out war with cartoons animated series and children programming in general they spent their time before that you know what they teach children nicol odium time after time throws in political indoctrination they have an agenda they've proven it they've proven it in very controversial errors like global warming
6:49 pm
science or maybe not science like in the area of immigration and in the area of homosexual parenting. and i think that we all remember bill o'reilly is public viewed with our sense that. chekov you doing just bite the hand that feeds part of it fox broadcasting once again allows each cartoon characters to run wild. in its i believe. so why is blog so intent on attacking cartoons and children's programming you know fox contends these programs are indoctrinating children and pushing an agenda i'm not quite sure why they have a problem with that it's just a box news does twenty four hours a day seven days a week for disgruntled adults so all the fox news anchors i ask you to please turn off the cartoon to lay off the sponge bob the others these shows are entertainment
6:50 pm
just like your news programming and that's why you are tonight's all time winners. i retired a happy hour i was called the whole time again. they are the few going on joining me tonight is our team producer jenny churchill and that welsh other sheet of reason magazine. spill in the morning is that it's been a long shelf i think that's what that means. mike huckabee has decided to release an animated cartoon about nine eleven so we can teach kids i mean obviously it's something that children need to know about if it was the biggest terrorist attack on u.s. soil but it's kind of an interesting interesting way of painting it took a look. it's.
6:51 pm
really. early. all right so that was a little snippet that we had to cut from it but the idea is that you know everything goes bad and of course the world trade. you see the world trade center is hit and all the kids see it but then the americans come back and we take all the world that everything is great and we all came together as a nation and everything is lovely really first i would just like to quickly say that i'm super pumped to rag on someone for you know kind of having a cartoon with a political agenda following that's will time. really and i know you this is not the arab league. oh definitely you know the whole point here with the problem is it's kind of ok there's a number of issues obviously because i think we didn't all just come together and
6:52 pm
everyone's happy now in the world is a much better place sorry we're involved in multiple wars abroad the just keep. and thousands and thousands of more americans have died because of these wars that we've waged after nine eleven and he kind of i don't think you'll respond to my mind i have to put a little bit of honesty into it i'm still trying to figure out who is the super dark skinned skinny black guys we call him doll which i think it alabama and not tell every american how to southern accent even though it was taking place in new york and he never wore that. i think the idea of like politics kids and cartoons together on the sets you know harry nilsson is the point. it should probably be banned by some dictator no i mean it's horrifying all these like you know why my mommy is a democrat type of books and. you know political cartoons nine eleven is just on some level of discourse every right to do it like i said you know what. no you don't have the right to do it but it's you have to criticize her for just plain
6:53 pm
stupid not to mention it's also because really unfortunate you see all the firefighters and police and the like look they're writing right to the middle and then they also don't mention that many of them have now died or you have their hands full right right how do you solve the problem have you seen the whole subscriber version the link you know how we haven't seen the whole version and i was saying i would really like to see the entire approach and the only problem is i don't really want to donate money to something that's profiting off of the deaths of americans that's just me. i think i'm a stinker. cause tell him you know wait you threw it down let's move on to the next what this. this is a california group that decided to launch this video in minnesota after new york legalized gay marriage and they're called a hate they can't. take like they're missing out that's are pretty serious right oh and just did you apply come to this book or. how to get
6:54 pm
ten cents up to ten thousand dollars in. the fight. all right so what i love here is that of course the minnesota family council is freaking out about it and they're saying you know that this clearly just wants to attack christians and what the bible says and this is something they said can it be any clear our opposition will stop at nothing to mock scripture and ridicule christians to raise money to redefine marriage in minnesota the video already has over six million views the group is selling t. shirts and offering to donate ten cents each time to videos like on facebook i think they're just really upset because people are getting a whole bunch of money that's what they're scared of i think they're upset that this video has six million views and it tells the truth like oh the bible says gay marriage is bad it also says you can sell your daughter for slavery so i mean yeah those are really good live in this video by the way which we didn't get to play i'm upset that they're bringing back ninety four dollars for what. i lived through that
6:55 pm
you know some of us were still alive back then some of us didn't get to live through it and always really getting a living you know maybe we didn't have the same shall we do have a no there are problems with that video is that it pretends that democrats are a whole lot better than republicans on this issue which isn't true i mean barack obama is making nice videos about stop the hate and let's kiss our boyfriends type of thing he's against gay marriage too or at least he hasn't gone that far yet there isn't a library of anyone and joe biden have the exact same take on gay marriage so let's stop pretending that it's a super enlightenment issue for at least office holding democrats as a post office and i'm totally with you there are we just we have two more topics so let's get into it really quick a couple months ago this scandal broke. if you don't know the botched federal program that allowed more than two thousand guns to be smuggled in or from the u.s. to mexico twenty people who bought those weapons were arrested on gun trafficking charges nearly all of them are now free. right operation fast and furious six
6:56 pm
hundred tories at this point so the federal government now wants. excuse me gun shops to report if somebody buys in bulk a massive amount of weapons and the store happens to be located near the border and the n.r.a. is suing them for that i think if i totally think it's ok then seventy come and buys like eighty six forty seven's that maybe you should report that and say it seems a little suspicious well i'm glad that the government is now no longer actively selling guns i mean you know yeah there's a good enough. oh i wouldn't you know hate to bring up paranoia. alone to show but it's a kind of an interesting timing issue here when the operation fast and furious as it is in the news of the border is a weird place i mean if you're within fifty miles of the border they can check your papers and make your life really kind of miserable for you i don't know what the legal standing is on this particular thing and i guess we'll find out what it's like out with a rule can we do the last story or do you have we only have thirty seconds really
6:57 pm
quick toronto's people like what happened to los angeles d.a.'s office would not comment but offered a press release in documents showing that stewart along with farmer sharon palmer and her associate eugenie block have been charged with four felonies and several misdemeanors some of the charges include crossing milk without pasteurization operating an unlicensed plant conspiracy to improperly label sued products and keeping eggs at an improper temperature. just another giant swat salary somebody trying to sell the milk for bonding really glad that they're going after these horrific horrific criminals who are clearly you know just damaging the fabric of america it's frightening and i'm obviously not being serious this is what the country has come to we are dow we can't tolerate any transaction between people with an inspector or policemen and call and it's not just in a police but entire swat raid type team because that's what they like to see ok i
6:58 pm
