fuck fuck fuck fuck. let's not forget that we live in apartheid museum right. i think rock the bomb easy to one hundred twelve. whenever the governor says they are safe get ready because if your freedom.

all right it's time for you said it i read it take time to respond to my brilliance and engaging viewer comments from facebook twitter and you tube because when you've got something to say i listen now first i want to respond to christina who commented on our interview with jeff kaye on water torture she said on facebook on criminals start using the euphemisms for her renders x. it shows a whole new light a lot we take for granted in our everyday lives of all spawning dangerous levels of complacency i have to agree with her here as jeff pointed out in our interview the

entire media simply takes the government's word as truth they like donald rumsfeld come out and say that there was no waterboarding to get go and then even bother to question him they let him get off the hook on a technicality or as christine says a euphemism calling it water treatment doesn't really make it all that different from waterboarding both are torture plain and simple and somebody should have called donald rumsfeld donald rumsfeld on that one it's time for the media to step out into the sunlight realize that the us government lies to them from time to time i know it's earth shattering but it's true and i want to respond if you are who commented on our story about a teenage boy who with days to death faisal sunshine said on you tube these cases are should be illegal or at least treated as deadly weapons this kid wasn't even armed this is out of control and unacceptable and i agree wholeheartedly it is a long overdue that we all acknowledge that tasers are leaves all period they have killed a lot of people they will continue to kill unless police departments stop treating them as the easiest way to subdue citizens i don't think that it's too much to ask

of police to use the extensive training that they've received paid for by the taxpayer to actually subdue someone who they feel is a threat not automatically take out their taser we're all criminals we don't all deserve to be treated as such by the manufacturer of the tasers taser international is also to play they continue to market their. product is non lethal even though it's responsible for more than three hundred forty taser deaths since two thousand and one so they need to own up to the consequences of taser use start telling police departments the truth tasers can kill and lastly in response to my interview with a cast member of the new show at russian dolls a wall high tweeted well learn from a show and i still you can make cameos on the new russian dolls show they are the two hottest russian american dolls i know of now i'm sorry to say that still waiting for my invite to appear on russian girls maybe just got lost in the mail. they ran saying and i will be back with more next week. is.

the light will come down. so much still carriers will be singing. today there is a glimmer of hope coming out of california when it comes to privacy see the d.n.a. act aka prop sixty nine is a contentious issue in the state despite the fact it was a successful ballot measure back in two thousand and four and the legislation said that every adult arrested not convicted just arrested on a felony charge would have to submit a d.n.a. sample so as of today over a million samples have been collected and the idea is to create a d.n.a. database for the state of california to help police departments but thankfully privacy advocates spoke out against the law saying that it's not right you connect or collect their genetic information if you're not convicted of a crime that's a violation of your fourth amendment rights just because you're arrested doesn't mean that you have actually done something wrong whatever happened it all innocent until proven guilty thing or at least in this case innocent until your d.n.a. will be entered into

a california state database and when it finally reached the first district court of appeals sixty nine was ruled to be unconstitutional the court wrote what the d.n.a. act authorizes is the warrantless and suspicion a search of individuals before you dishful determination of probable cause to believe that they have committed the crime for evidence of crime. unrelated to that for which they've been arrested and i agree with the judge here but let's look at how this legislation got to where it is today just like any other contentious issue that elicits a very strong emotional response from voters there is a lot of money thrown behind both sides of the d.n.a. act and california is a great example of how this process works take rocks sixty six this builds an amendment to the current three strikes law which was also passed through a ballot measure and it said that anyone who commits three crimes must have a third felony charge be a special violent or serious crime in order to mandate a twenty five years to life sentence a voter's probably have their own opinions on this issue especially since the three strikes law was used widely as a sweeping failure but when the ads about prop sixty six came out with

a very convincing celebrity scaremongering against it surely he was opinions were swayed on the proposition sixty six twenty six thousand dangerous criminals will be released from prison child molesters rapists murderers keep them off the streets and out of your neighborhood and sixty six keep them behind bars. yeah it is grab the governator throw in a few lines all rapists and murderers out on the streets and it's really easy to see that his encouragement contributed to prop sixty six not passing or how about one of those popular pieces of legislation this decade prop eight which was designed to keep marriage between a man and a woman. opposition eight feels there's a whole bunch of consequences did you know the church is there right now their facilities for marriages could be forced to house seems sex marriage ceremonies on their properties if proposition eight fails religious adoption agencies may be forced to place children in same sex marriages were just continue providing

adoption services all together nearly all have a schools in california provide education about health and sexuality if prop eight fails children will be child marriages between forty eight and party be regardless of gender vote yes on proposition eight. see what i mean we all know the power of advertising and when lobbying groups take to the media to get their message across using lies and half truths the results for themselves on the ballot passing gay marriage was not allowed in california thanks to the scaremongering so let's shift our focus back to prop sixty nine and the d.n.a. act just like the fact that there is support for collecting d.n.a. from arrestees there is a reason that we have courts to settle issues of our most basic rights in an impartial forum without millions of dollars poured into the decision so sometimes it's best not to let the public sorry i mean a lobbyist decide on social issues because of the first district court of appeals to step in and stand up for privacy i see that as

a true glimmer of hope. if you become a member of a social network you have to use your real name that's a facebook the side of the couple years ago and that's what google plus has made their new policy as well and it's sort of a fierce debate about the use of pseudonyms the concept of anonymity on the web and whether you should expect it secord into the tech giants you should it in fact randi zuckerberg the former facebook marketing director and sister of mark zuckerberg said the following that i think anonymity on the internet has to go away people behave a lot better when they don't have their real names doubt i think people hide behind anonymity and they can feel like they can say whatever they want to close doors but there are a lot of people fighting back against this statement now a new website is a dedicated to the cause of anonymity called my name is me so joining me to discuss this is eva galperin activist with the electronic frontier foundation if i want to thank you so much for joining us and if you can first start by describing what this web site is all about my name is me as a direct response to google plus and what are you planning on doing with it. both

my name is me is in fact made up mostly of google plus users who are very interested in making sure that google plus google understands that google plus users want the freedom to use their own names on social networks. i what are you planning on doing with this site i mean do you think that you might actually convince google nonce of your work because their numbers are still skyrocketing people are joining and rose oh what's particularly interesting about what google is doing right now is that google plus as a say is not yet open to everyone they're still in what they call an open beat up where they are inviting limited numbers of people to come to the center actively soliciting our opinions about what the site should look like and in that interest people who disagree with google plus his real name policy want to let google know

this is not how their state should go forward when they find it launches all right so now let's get to really what you think is at the core of this debate i read that quote from any zuckerberg wishing things that people might hide behind their identities if they have the possibility of anonymity but is that necessarily always a bad thing to some people actually need to hide absolutely there are people who need to hide their speaking out online there are many groups all over the world who have traditionally used anonymous speech in order to make their views known most importantly marginalized people are they are the people who need the protections the most people who. are hearing the use people who are whistleblowers people worried about being tracked down and anybody it's not just for trolls anonymity is one of the key features of activism online. now i want to know if you

agree with something that alexis magical wrote over the atlanta take which i thought was kind of interesting as he says this really is revolutionizing the way that we lead our lives because there's a huge difference between what's being expected online versus what might be accepted expected in normal life you are for example you can walk down the sidewalk and you can scream down with the government and still nobody's really going to know who you are there i know you were wearing what you look like but now if you want to say anything on the internet then it will could always come back to haunt you and they could find out everything about you so it is this completely different to you from from the way normal life is lived offline this is very much unlike the way it will but life is lived offline and it's only the way that life was lived online until very recently when the advent of facebook and facebook's insistence on real name poles you for its users soon to be you and then you could you were entirely standard online until facebook came along and all of our asking google to do is to

stay in line with those historical standards so what is it exactly that's in facebook or google's interest here just so they can have people's names and sell those names and that information to the advertisers make more money. it is absolutely all about. both google and facebook understand that people's real names are worth money to advertisers it allows advertisers to link that information back to back to your credit data and gives them a much broader picture of who you are if all they have is a pseudonym they have all kinds of very interesting web site traffic data about you but they cannot link it back to your real identity and that is why real names are social networks now i'm just curious too do you think i mean the so why when facebook came out with this right about four years ago they decided also to make people have to use their real names i feel like there wasn't as much of an

uproar and so why is there one now with google plus is it because different people we have more of a techie crowd that's actually been the first ones to start using it well there are a couple of different reasons the first is that google is actively soliciting our input they want to know what we want this site to look like and that's certainly something that facebook did not do in its early days furthermore facebook was a real news service from the very beginning it was based around sort of real identity use of college students often college students who went to the same college and that's really what helped set those norms and so people understood what was expected of them when they went into these. thank you for joining us and you know we'll see if google actually listens to what you guys say there are a lot of other people who are joining this web site my name is me and personally i also agree i think that you should be able to retain their anonymity on the web thanks. thank you. now sort of comes a night broken fighter jets millions of your tax dollars and the list bureaucrats

as three things make ups and i still find a war and a nice happy hour are your coworkers killing you plus that marriage is more like butter and not like beer and then explain that one and it's the. internet only or military mechanisms if you don't work to bring justice or. i have every right to know what my government should do if you want to know why i pay taxes. i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so sleep you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here sees some other part of it and realize that everything is just

. one sharp welcome to the big picture. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right here. i think. one well. we have the government says they're going to keep you safe get ready because your freedom.

our it's time for tonight's truth time award and tonight it goes q at the pentagon now if you watched our show before you know that we take issue with the insane amount of money the pentagon spends on defense and less wars recently we've also been following with story of the f. twenty two an f. thirty five fighter jets are not familiar with the to the planes are currently ground it as an all of the planes are not working the whole fleet so what's the big

deal you ask so what happens well you see actually according to wire the entire joint strike force joint strike or excuse me joint strike force problem has cost the american taxpayers three hundred eighty billion dollars and rising and with all the f. twenty two an f. thirty five is grounded that means that the u.s. air force colonel has zero stealth fighters in the air after spending hundreds of billions dollars on that so that twenty two has been ground over a possible called an oxygen system to take on anti-freeze and or oil in the blood of pilots which apparently cause the pilots to act drunk while flying the jet that's just what you want right a drunk pilot in a plane that's passed in carrying weapons and the f. thirty five is part because of a valve problem with all the problems surrounding these jets you would think the pentagon would think twice before ordering any more of them but you would be wrong now if the pentagon is simply enslaved to the military death row complex here in the u.s. . department of defense website there's a press release that reads lockheed martin corps lockheed martin aeronaut its

company fort worth texas is being awarded a five hundred and thirty five million dollar advance acquisition contract to provide a long lead parts and components required for the manufacture of thirty eight low rate initial production f. thirty five lightning two joint strike fighter aircraft for the air force that's right you heard me correctly the pentagon just spent another five hundred thirty five million dollars to buy thirty eight more f. thirty five jets this week is anybody at the d.o.t. even thinking the planes are grounded now and you want to run out and buy a few more by the pentagon do something so stupid and maybe they were inspired by this. i. i i. i don't know a lot of people are good make all the slick ads of flying jets and rock music if

they want but it doesn't hide the back of their jets are all currently grounded because of technical problem after technical problem earlier in the show we discussed the new super committee formed by congress here in washington to cut the deficit gravy is watching i think we just found five hundred thirty five million dollars worth of cuts that you can make over the pentagon for ordering thirty eight more of f. thirty five fighter jets we're giving tonight's tool time award to the pentagon. our guys time for happy hour this evening and joining me tonight is art of course on it lauren lyster and jake brewer founder of realist idealist labs thanks for joining me guys pleasure alone or seen me so let me tell you about a little story that's going on in california the california department of

corrections the real rehabilitation is actually convinced facebook to take down the profile pages of prisoners which you might think like that seems kind of screwed up why would they do that and that's because the prospect got a little problem with certain prisoners posting certain photos on their facebook take a look. but also ran serving a thirty year prison sentence for murdering an oklahoma sheriff finds a way to post some surprising photos on facebook fox twenty three news for pictures of thirty two year old justin walker posing in this prison so. to barely either here. too many people like that with that guy was just one of the examples as well posting pictures of kind of partying maybe smoking a joint and then. you know for football was about one affair part about this story though is that the press releases that went out even the local news reports focused on the fact that it is a federal offense to have a cell phone in the jail so they didn't mention the bomb or the knife or any of the

things that in the photos they just said you know it is illegal to have a cell phone how you look for god and i would still tell that is currently i can we've been doing stories about prison strikes where all they can get after doing a hunger strike is some cold weather caps and wall calendars and you know they're getting. they're putting the pictures on facebook i mean i was going on began doing under protest to get out of prison i was at that point you figure if you can have dog in there you probably can also escape or something you know clearly the guards are not on the lawn on the prize and we should make too much light of this issue because it was it agree with the massive prison population in california and the supreme court also ruled the conditions there inhumane but this one is just a well that's just super verisign at least some guys are doing a little better with a humane conditions they're a little more medicated for them because only over thirty years of good behavior will be out in like six months i think that's where. it is ok if you want to the

next you know some office environments are better than others and some are a little worse than others and i think we've all really enjoyed watching this particular show that my explain how some of the words. you know hospitalized were samples to choose. to be so. casual day. oh my gosh they're back and right now we're going to see that. we just use that good because we could not play it right and you can circulate that big like we're going to do it it but. really there is an actual study that just came out and told you that your coworkers might be killing you they spent something like twenty years conducting a study and they found that those people who felt like they had less emotional support or no emotional support in the workplace were two point four times as likely to die during the course of that study compared to those who had stronger

bonds with their peers at work than this. i think i think the upside and i'm sorry . it's not i think the upside is that if you have a good work environment then you're happier and you're more likely to live longer so if you're you know i read a good. word let me let me know lerner is wonderful live through this has been really bad for the workplace i think because they also found that basically by sitting all the time you would die faster yes or no your colleagues are killing you your chair is killing you also here in d.c. i'm pretty sure that the complete culture on alcohol which i mean none of us have anything going around that you know i'm pretty sure just since being in d.c. i've lost at least ten years just in five years of actually living here so aren't working for you unfortunately you know you just can't win because it's you can't get a job unemployment is a huge problem then you get a job that actually just killing him slowly michael. how do we do broken. so we were speaking of presidential elections earlier obviously i was going crazy

over i was like i said i saw her standing obsession with i love her because her son america but let's talk about some of the candidates here rick santorum does not believe in gay marriage but this is the way that he was trying to explain to people why he doesn't believe in gay marriage which doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to me but if you take a look and decide. marriage is what marriage is marriage existed before there was a government. you know and you know this and say this glass of water is a glass of beer well you can call it a glass of beer but it's not a glass of beer it's less a water and water is what water is marriage is what marriage is. i don't i don't really i don't understand at all i applaud him for trying to you know make an analogy that people can understand but it just has so much room for interpretation and for expanding upon i mean like water is water but you can put crystal light in it you can put kool-aid in it you can change it you know it's not always water doesn't always need to be water which is

a great analogy for why you should have gay marriage else wringing my hands in many different many different colors and flavors yeah and i think someone should tell rick that you can call kind of discriminatory bigoted ideology you know rational analogy but it still doesn't change the fact that it's discrimination and bigoted ideology and that's all he's bringing to the table here and bringing with it really really bad i mean i don't work you know we've seen so many of those commercials about the the light beer that's just going to do it out of masculinity so i think that you can also dispute some beer actually is what. i'm saying with right now but that's really i mean that's the moral distance of course those great commercials when you go to go for a long run and they get back and they have a beer and this is your hydration i think that's really the direction he must be that that's what i call college are you going. to know let's do one of the last one

this person oh man i really really really hope he doesn't run for president or maybe i hope he does because i think it's crazy and hopefully people don't vote for him i don't know he's been talking about it for a long time and he's back talking about it again. well i might want to run for president i'm looking at this i have been for quite some time and you know our foreign adversaries are not waiting for us to get our economic house in order terrorism the threat of nuclear proliferation sure belligerent russian attitudes and others are all out there and they threaten the economic recovery when you're ready to declare if we go there. anything you know i honestly can't decide what would be i mean michele bachmann is absolutely crazy in many respects but i really think it would be scarier john bolton is actually the president this is the guy that reminds us that we have to bomb iran immediately and we only have eight days to bomb iran the world is going to come to an end and he makes these prophecies all the time we would be in a million wars if it was up to john bolton i don't. think you're right i know you i

miss most about so one thing about jumbo they also don't looking forward to is that if you does run it i kind of miss my gravelle from the two thousand and eight race you know just kind of like me the wacky professor on the side so i think he'd kind of serve their role but the point he's making in his press release about running for president are just so ridiculous he's saying you know obama has a terrible stance on security like the guy who has successfully gotten us out of iraq or would be you know drawing down his book at the end here in afghanistan has killed osama bin laden and we've not been attacked like what's your point here and you know we know obama's doing probably well john bolton's way through it is exactly and our war on terror here to a number of other countries the republican dream also thus far to disappoint you guys if you want to win that race i think it just says that he thought that our tea several months ago i think it's just that this is a very good idea that all of the lines like i run you know this is the area times every now and then i come down there are going to get a raft out thanks for joining us if it shows thanks for tuning in to come back

tomorrow and it's a whistleblower thomas drake and his lawyer jesselyn radical be on the show to discuss their take on the obama administration's war on leakers meantime getting hit with the fans the a lot of show on facebook and follow us on twitter and coming up next is out of first place. a charmer in her broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture.
