scott. and all charges are dropped against former international monetary fund's chief dominique strauss kahn who had been accused of sexually assaulting a hotel near. my colleague josh i'll be with you in thirty minutes with a full look at your news but stay with us now as we return to washington for part two of the show. part of time for show and tell on tonight's program the last time we told you that a second round of a global financial crisis seems like it might be on the horizon so we want to know if you thought the two thousand and eleven is going to be the sequel to what we saw in two thousand and eight for the producer for truth in ascending to find out what you have to say.

wait a minute didn't we see this movie back in two thousand and eight it looks like we're stuck in a sequel the only difference is the banks have been bailed out and the streets have been newly paved using stimulus money and the sad part is the millions of underpaid actors who make up the struggling masses are all of us real americans so what do you think is twenty eleven a sequel to the financial crisis of two thousand and eight well unfortunately most of you think so arenas said i'll be surprised if two thousand and eleven isn't a sequel for two thousand and eight and like movie sequels they tend to be worse than the first ones how many said he imagines the next crisis will be worse than

two thousand and eight while many of you agreed with tommy that the worst is yet to come some believe that we are still stuck in the same old two thousand a disaster flick for miles one sister note there were a session never ended the bailouts only served to paper over the cracks joe felt the same way he said i don't think the price. this from two thousand and eight is over one thing washington needs to learn from hollywood is that sequels they can be very risky and most of the time they lose money so listen it's director takes a new approach and throws out that old script looks like all of us will look back on the economy of twenty eleven like a bad scene out of the movie groundhog day. now earlier we spoke about the continued fighting in libya and the battle over tripoli so we want to know what you think will the u.s. put boots on the ground in libya that's our next question you can respond to us on facebook twitter and you tube and you know the response just might make.

don't mind. so much jill carroll's won't be singing. today we have a glimmer of hope this one comes from the police in cleveland and we have brought you countless incidents across the country where people have filmed police in action and then been arrested or harassed for it the cleveland police who decided to order their cops to leave a citizen video videographers alone. we learned cleveland police just got new orders if they see you videotaping cops in action the orders call should leave you alone do you have the right to get you cheap to conduct and actions that cleat police officers. whoa whoa they have a right forgive me bring so surprised i have gotten so used to people being arrested and harassed for pushing the record the record button when police are in action but it looks like we believe they got it right after seeing the media's attention on the actions of local law enforcement cleveland said go ahead and record at least they understand the importance of keeping their officers in check

at all times after all if we're giving them off already and allowing them to carry a firearm should we know that they're doing the right thing but lest you think of the war on cameras is anywhere near over here is the latest example of cops aggressively stopping anybody from filming that and seaside heights a man named chris and his brother walking down the street when police caught the two men taping that the comps were all that happy about it. no i didn't here's your . first photo so don't go grab a small there's a software for. a video game from one of the big believe it or you know a lot of the. i want to perform the surgery on my dragon sorry. now it's a little tough to see what actually happened but when the man wrote in to cop block he explained that he and his brother were walking by cop car and as they started to walk away the cop got out of the car and approached him and that's when he pushed record he goes on to explain the cops quickly took my phone and violated my rights

my brother were separated he was handcuffed peacefully a short while later eventually he was thrown to the ground and beat after a while they gave me a ticket for a public nuisance and my brother was arrested for aggravated assault he was taken away and subsequently in jail now sadly even though feeling police is only technically illegal in three states maryland illinois and massachusetts a lot of people are still going to have to deal with the harassment from police officers for doing so so the fact of the cleveland police department at least one understands the importance of average americans being able to keep law enforcement in check i would say unfortunately that this one tiny example is a glimmer of hope. all right so new polls keep coming out almost on a daily basis showing that approval for washington and the president are not so good take the recent c.b.s. new york times poll that eighty two percent of americans disapprove of the way congress is doing its job at the highest disapproval rating since polling began in

one nine hundred seventy seven that leaves just fourteen percent who actually approve of congress' performance but a brand new gallup poll shows president obama's approval rating at its lowest point just thirty eight percent like i said not a good sign for them or for us so one reaction of course is to get angry another could be to turn that anger into comedy take a median felonious monk in his recent video over the debt ceiling debate. to the government the united states government you know fourteen point six million dollars b. all my credit cards will be cut off a long time before they all emasculate do is balance the budget be sure you got to do some we voted for your because we worried about gay rights marijuana legalized all of these other things a little concerned about how can we get rolled more money for schools you bestest can't even balance a checkbook a checkbook this is something every american has to go through every week we've got to figure out what we're going to pay what we've got to put off a little bit you. are well we love that video so much that we just had to hear some

more so joining me is comedian felonious monk thanks so much for joining us can i call you monk that's about work and we can shorten it a little bit go for starters tell me about yourself you used to be a finance director making six figures and now you're a comedian and yet it doesn't seem like the normal path that my mother is still upset about it. actually cause she says i want to join the circus i think our girlfriends probably more upset about the new mother as i probably would be if i had to. know what would happen. you know. what we've been called it we're saying it's not it's recession or depression whatever happened though financially to the country it was one of the first things one of the worst things and as a finance director my job is to get loans for people to bark. well the banks stopped lending money so there was you know not as much need for me so i lost two guys a model partment my money went from six figures to very very low five figures and you know we had to try something different i've always loved comedy i've always thought that if you had an absurd way of looking at the world and you could present the people and make them laugh you could make them feel better about something

that's not so good so well the sad thing is of course that everything we were saying the fact that everyone is expected to balance their checkbook we have to do that all the time and congress some reason doesn't i would really call that absurd i would just call that logic unfortunately but tell me about that right i mean so you're saying that the recession is part of the reason that you had to go into comedy and leave your job or you were angry at wall street or you know this seems to be more directed towards congress towards the president particular here's here's the thing the people the people elected who we have in office and it was good to see those numbers that we just saw fourteen percent you know are still saying go congress you know when there's eighty two percent saying no no no you got the same thing with barack obama is it thirty eight and fifty four thirty eight say ok he's ok and fifty four say no and what we're seeing is you know you have the republicans going yes the everyone's ticked off at you obama only thirty eight percent approve and then you've got the rest of the country going you have we got a republican congress and you're only at fourteen percent so who's losing everyone's losing so whether it's wall street or our government we elect our

government officials we don't elect wall street so i can't really you know i'm almost talking to appear when i talk to wall street i have to talk to the president i have to talk to the government say hey we elected you you said these are things you could do obama in particular people said it's an obama you know what i'm saying is you campaigned on unity i'm going to bring the parties together no more no more partisanship and i'm going to be able to get things done smoothly and then we saw what happened with the health care bill and we saw what happened with pretty much everything he's done it's been contentious so you didn't do that part i'm not upset with your policies as much as i'm upset with that was the one promise i thought you were going to be able to handle and that's to get people to agree and you went from being in the center on your campaign to be in for lou. what you got in office and that's what happened oh i totally disagree with you there about family being you've got even more towards the center and i think that i document all the time here on this program but obviously you're getting a lot of attention right this video has become a sensation on you got the attention of glenn beck to tell me about that i mean

what are your thoughts on glenn beck he was loving this but you think he's just loving it because you're angry at obama and you're addressing obama or he actually like you have to say of course i think what happened if i did two minutes and thirty seconds of actual talk time and twenty seconds of it talk tom it was a president obama this is for you that was twenty seconds out of two minutes and thirty seconds and it was renamed epic anti obama rant and i'm going wow that was epic and obama and that really wasn't it but you know i understand what we're doing here everything was done in sound bites the last five presidents in my generation my lifetime have been elected from soundbites they've been elected on celebrity they've been elected on personality and there's probably a good thirty to forty percent of the people who vote who know what the issues or and really know what you're voting record is and where you stand the other sixty percent vote for the guy they like and so that's what glenn beck did he says hey i can i can slant this this way i've got a guy who's he's a black guy he's got a beard he looks angry he looks urban and he's saying bad things about obama so

let's call that something glenn beck. yes i will call it that and you know but at the same time. i used. the situation we were in to make a funny video went viral did he use me use that to do what he wanted to do hopefully more to kill enough to be able to say hey that was an answer that was a real government get your stuff together but if you want to phrase it that way i can't stop you so you make a lot of great points there like i said again very logical points and you know we've had other guests on the show too because all the time everything you see is just one didn't see here in washington that he's trained t.v. people and you know we've shown other people who have posted videos on you tube just average angry americans want to get their voice out i think of that's a really good way to get that message across now ok so you said that glenn beck to my views you're right because you're black and you said a few negative things about obama but tell me and we tried to do this the other day on the show to obviously you're not going to able to speak or speak for the entire black community in america but we just went through all of these poll numbers and i also looked at the gallup poll from today for black americans eighty eight percent

still approve the job obama is doing what gives this interesting conversation to for the most part a lot of black people are very conservative especially with their religious practices very conservative fiscally but they vote democrat and the republican party basically says we're the concert with the fiscally conservative party with religious right we don't understand it i can explain that i can only say there's this one thing that you don't speak out against family and the black community still sees obama's family and if you criticize him that somehow was selling out but they'll criticize him behind closed doors and here's the issue i have with that i can't be afraid to say what i want to say publicly for fear that some black guy is going to look at me and say you're a sellout i'd rather sell someone out because they don't like me more than sell myself out that's that's a horrible feeling to look at the mirror every day and say when someone asked me a question i'm going to answer the way be expect me to so as not to offend the black people as opposed to i'm going to tell you the truth because reliant to each other that's not a dialogue i completely agree i couldn't agree more well i think it's good

everything we have to say to you even though we may disagree on a few policy things here but everyone should check out your video other videos you make very funny thanks so much for coming out here. now still to come tonight the state lawmaker here in the west thinks that young people aren't worthy of earning the minimum wage so she's going to be our whole time when it also head d.c. on the east coast a little shaking this afternoon thanks to an earthquake so stick around for a much needed happy hour.

last time the snows up team was namu region where the gold rush still gets people hiked up. this time margi goes to cure old region. where the local government is giving power back to the people. where everyone from will be adopted. more local must turn their land into a tourist paradise wellcome bridges. should close up on our gene.

more news today is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations are on the day. it's time for tonight's tool time award and tonight it goes to new hampshire state representative carolyn why are c. carroll was elected to the new hampshire house of representatives in two thousand and eight as a republican and apparently carol is no fan of young workers in her state she believes in the current seven dollars and twenty five cents that is minimum wage in new hampshire is too high for that see this year lawmakers in new hampshire passed

a bill that tied the state's minimum wage to the federal minimum wage meaning that their statement a wage could not be higher than the federal one so the governor vetoed the bill but state lawmakers overrode that but carol still isn't satisfied she still thinks that seven twenty five is too much for young workers and a statement to reporters carol said that she would sponsor a bill that would repeal all minimum wage laws in the state and just let employers pay workers what they're worth she believes that the seven twenty five minimum is overly generous to young people listen to her quote she said it's very discriminatory particularly for the young people they're not worth the minimum one help don't you just feel sorry for the teenagers out there that are trying to support their families college students trying to put themselves through school in new hampshire and we're throwing in college students because according to carroll statement there's no age limit here it's just about young people apparently she gets to pick and choose when you're no longer considered young so carol thinks that the young folks are only worth about five bucks an hour despite the fact that they

do the same work as many of their older counterparts i guess she doesn't want the young people or state to succeed but let's do some fun math for carol mcguire too if somebody her state is making seven twenty five an hour and they work forty hours a week that's about two hundred ninety dollars a week take home pay before taxes so if you multiply that times fifty two weeks in a year for a grand total that makes just over fifteen thousand dollars a year if we take carol's proposal to. cut the minimum wage down to five dollars workers who put in forty hours a week would make two hundred dollars a week so when you multiply that times fifty two weeks a year you get a new salary wow just over ten thousand dollars a year maybe carol mcguire should take her own advice when it comes to introducing a new bill next time. i'm on the second department. and i hope this year to kill a bill that would require registration of home contractors and building and so

forth which i've been fighting for several years. at the moment my main goal is to kill a number of stupid bills. that was carol mcguire talking about her theory on introducing bills maybe she's unaware what happens when young people feel left out of the decision making process i think we have a prime example that is having a few weeks ago cross the pond in london and the u.k. youth are unemployed pair paid very poorly they took to the streets and a huge uprising the london riots are a prime example of what people will do when they're pushed they're scared when they're disenchanted and don't feel like they're part of the system at all so carol dwyer go ahead cup people's basic pay even more people are hurting but you're fine to give the corporations give them more power to screw over all the workers but we have the power thankfully to give you our tool to have a war tonight so we will. look

a time for happy hour this evening and joining me tonight are two producer jenny churchill and andrew blake r t web writer thanks for joining me guys andrew your debut on happy hour partner and here having it is harder and harder to be here because you know the rest of washington d.c. is right now every fled the city because we experience the earthquake and everybody freaked out at first it was five point eight so then the u.s.g.s. bumped it up to five point nine and last i heard i think they bumped it back down to a five point eight but the news obviously was it was all over this. we felt it for about twenty five thirty seconds you know the. shaking beneath. everyone the alarm going off and everyone went down the stairs i was stationed here w.r.c. and they have pictures apparently of some sandstone and some granite crumbling from the spiers of the cathedral. i mean this is a little funny and jenny you know because you're sitting right next to me there are

a number of us who work in this office were from california and so we were kind of making fun of everyone else that the words that they were. freaking out our office building made us evacuate i was like come on guys you know it's just an earthquake i have work to do i have a pre-taped interview here like i got to go back to work i can just stand outside in the street wandering around but for those of you who maybe haven't felt an earthquake before joining is it really scary i know i've i've been there have been years when one other time but i was asleep and i thought that someone had really just broken into my apartment and was shaking my bad side enough that really counts but you know i mean you were definitely cool collected and calm us saying oh my god . you know very well you know you people out of my way to do and i think you were like oh how did you find your way you know but i think my favorite part was when meghan kelly said that the washington monument was tipping i think that was definitely the fox news that would bow in for a while that maybe the washington monument just had a little a little tilt to it we could have had our own leaning tower of of washington you

know they say you're earth quake i lived in l.a. for a little bit there's no earth quake did you see the come trails today and it was always bin ladin. shots and it was very. well actually. i don't know i mean that was my i obviously that's not happen but that was my first ok all right maybe not but i don't know whether one really does make it was my first thought though i was actually really i mean it took four shots to get to parker still putting out albums so you never know well the funny thing is i realized how different it is to be exhibitors that i felt earthquakes or for i just immediate was like oh it's an earthquake whereas other people being here from d.c. they're like we thought it was a bomb but then we realize that there wasn't a sound people also thought that equipment was trying to steer you know you know weird stuff goes on here there are do studios sometimes let's look at a few tweets compiled some of the funniest tweet because everybody fancied themselves a comedian after this but over there are favorites where i think chris christie

just jumped into the race not to panic anyone in new york city but a screaming judge just drove by the limo that was missing and. your little reference to twenty twelve there and i felt the earthquake last week from a brooklyn have served that could have easily said california hipster because i felt like everyone from california was being so smug today like it was going to get over those was closed. sometimes too let's move on to some stuff that we can actually laugh about. we laughed we did laugh about it sorry but. check out this new children's book that's coming out and causing quite a storm. on the cover of the new book maggie goes on a diet maggie is seen dreaming of a thinner self the fourteen year old character is bullied relentlessly but after losing a lot of weight by eating healthier foods like oatmeal and fruits and exercising more instantly makes new friends and even transforms into

a star soccer player. what do you say andrew is that sending the wrong message to girl no no good for maggie because i mean i grew up in buffalo and i used to eat a chicken wing or twenty with most meals and i could use a book like that when i was just be fourteen the book some some. yeah i mean i think no i think this book is totally wrong though because why am i if you haven't heard any stories i know no let me finish from my experience the fat kid is always funny and has the most friends and i don't know there's bad kids growing up i can vote that i had on who are heads you know i don't know i have friends that everyone thought were amazing and funny and i did you live in like a ninety's with coming of age comedy film. that's right there you go to d.c. every day for the show everyone spends can tell you literally in kentucky. thing and as an arm i just think that people are freaking out a little bit ok if there's a pull up that comes out with a message like if you feel like you're being bullied because of your weight you can

exercise and you can eat healthy maybe that'll make you a little bit healthier obvious it's not going to solve all of your problems but it'll make you feel more comfortable about your body image you know we've had discussions too about how in the u.s. it's like this thing that people freak out about it's very taboo for people to talk to their kids about being overweight and other countries it's not so much that they're just like you're fat just when i'm on the look fat and. i don't want to say that's a good whatever that's a ride to the next story. well take a look what david letterman he made fun of the lot of death and then there were message boards on some jihadist web site. the people wanted him killed or his tongue cut out and he actually joked about it last night on his show. i'm so sorry i'm a little late coming out backstage i was talking to the guy from c.b.s. we were going through the c.b.s. a life insurance policy. to see if i was covered for jihad a guy

a radical extremist threatened to cut my tongue out. i wish i had a nickel. ok i kind of like that he has a sense of humor about this and can laugh about it rather than hiring like a twenty person security detail and freaking out it's only going to further my theory that david letterman is the most bad ass man on television he if you watch the whole monologue he manages to call out al qaeda and jay leno in the same monologue those are the two greatest evils in america right now so i mean that he doesn't look scared he just does of course is not going to war he like totally used to people hating him i mean honestly like you think that jihad is so the only ones that want to even letterman go on in two thousand and eight somebody sent him an envelope full of anthrax people like him he's used to it it's nothing no never got there was a quite a few women out there i think that don't like him either i mean we are made out of are you guys going to wrap it up thanks so much for joining me tonight and thank you for tuning in and makes me think back tomorrow attorney and former cia officer jack rice is going to be on the show this the latest developments in libya now in
