it is time for you said it i read it right take time to respond to my brilliant and engaging viewer comments from facebook twitter and you too because when you have something to say i do listen now first i'd like to respond to an e-mail that was sent to the r.t. website it said and i know all of this is in perfect english look americans never trusted russia and now you have this alone the bad knees monster feminist bitch parroting the jewish one nine hundred thirty three marxist usa agenda to denigrate our nation you place this nut marxist elements within the usa media viewership to denigrate our nation you are doing more to create anger against russia and your broadcast format now that continued on for several more paragraphs that we just

don't have time to read it all but he also called me again time and he also said that our t.v. license should be pulled here in america so where do i even start first off i don't even have a clue what the jewish one nine hundred thirty three marxist usa agenda is so i would have a hard time understanding how i could be parroting it so i get i don't need to denigrate america i report on the truth that the mainstream media refuses to and as an american i think nothing more could be as important if you don't report the truth people are not going to wake up but you apparently want to stay in the dark and have us pulled from the air because you don't like me or what i have to say sorry that's not what you do in this country that's not what it stands for and finally i'm just going to let that whole bad knees monster feminist bitch thing really at that go and i want to respond to a viewer who commented on my interview with radley balko last night about the criminalization of childhood here in the us air and political side on you too much of this is related to the fact that there are so many private for profit prisons in this country i'm disappointed that neither of you discussed this. in many cases

this is an extension of the problems with corporate america now we didn't while we didn't address this particular piece of the puzzle last night we've covered the prison industrial complex in the proliferation of private prisons many many times on this show and in fact we spoke in a rally himself about it so i can assure you that we will continue to cover that very important topic there's just not room for it every single day now finally i want to respond to our monday happy hour segment chris gill said on facebook peta combining porn with images of animal torture is not such a great idea will end up attracting some true sickos i predict the website will end up being monitored by the f.b.i. in order to keep tabs on possible serial killers now i'm not going to go leap to the whole serial killer conclusion but i will say that i find the combination of porn and animal torture on the same website to be a little bit unsettling as well that's if my rantings tonight and i will be back with more next week. well perhaps the wiki leaks has gotten caught up with all the fall out from former colleague daniel berg because it seems that the whistle

blowing organization switching up the way that it operates just yesterday songes organization fifty five thousand more cables from the us detail america's relationships with other countries around the world over the leaks are posted in math a group called on the public to search through all of that information and so that if they find anything important to tweet it with the hash tag w l fine now as of now it's still pretty early but they're already a handful of interesting tidbits that are being revealed in this pile of info some of the cables detail activities like a meeting between u.s. ambassador and saddam hussein in one thousand nine hundred centreville information like turkey hating americans bikini's and gays and of course we already told you about the cable detailing john mccain's meeting with get off the back in two thousand and night and sure this is not the first time the wiki leaks has shared a huge amount of data it wants we have noticed a change and how they're operate if you remember back to their first memorable week and early two thousand and ten songs explain to me why was important to share this video that we've now come to known as collateral murder. that's right we believe in

releasing documents to the world together with analysis to put them in contact so people understand them because the full source material helps keep journalism almost independently verifiable independently checkable your assertions of chicle in the same way as a scientific paper. it's a full source material was released the public. now all you did express the full material needed to be released to the public also gave his own input not necessarily with words but in the edited manner in which he released the information the video and certainly in the title of that video however we can weeks hasn't followed that structure when releasing these latest cables tomorrow free for all every reader for themselves and then they report on what they find hidden within the thousands of tabs of information i think if you look at that new approach in both a positive and negative light on the one hand you don't have any structure to the huge document dump but on the other you could argue it's better that this information is openly available without anybody editorializing it allowing people

to form their own opinions about its value so we're going to keep digging and checking reports to see what else comes out of this latest up. now a couple of months ago we reported to you that the florida state legislator had passed a law requiring that welfare applicants to take drug tests that law went into effect on july first and require as well for applicants to pay for the drug test and then if they test negative the state reimburses them and accept them for welfare of the passages law through the art of civil liberties advocates but florida governor rick scott made about the money made about fairness to the taxpayers since they're the ones paying the bill so how is that new law working out for the state of florida well it turns out that just six weeks into the program it's already costing taxpayers more than it's saving that here to discuss this with me is mike riggs associate editor at reason magazine and reason dot com mike thanks so much for being here tonight. first started just give us a few of the details in terms of exactly how much is this costing rather than

saving the taxpayers so far at least from the cases that have documented ok so there are roughly at any given time in florida between fifty thousand one hundred thousand people applying for t.n.f. which is in assistance from the families program and as of right now our local news station for documenting the out of forty families who have had to go through the urine test since this program sir july first only to have drugs right so. and one of them is on appeal which means they could be on prescription drugs or something like that so that's a very small portion of the fifty to one hundred thousand people but if you think about this happening at a larger scale if you think of roughly between five and ten percent of people failing and the other ninety five to ninety percent passing and then having to get reimbursed you're looking at an extra two million to four million dollars that the state will have to pay for reimbursing urine tests that's and that's just the money for the test there's also the checks to say now there's also the workers in the part of families whose job it is going to be to screen fifty thousand and ninety

thousand urine tests i mean that sounds like a lot of money i just don't understand because hasn't this been tried in other states in idaho tried the same thing and they found that it saves them money you know you have to wonder why these things become law if there are other examples on the books that prove why it doesn't work the way that you think it's going to work out. it sounds good for one i mean you know shall i write i write the emotional aspect sounds good i think florida is in a slightly unique position in that governor rick scott is looking for any way he can to combat the problem with prescription drugs i don't think this is the way to do it because i mean if you take a family of four and you have two kids in a family or three kids and you take away temporary assistance for needy families because the father has a pill problem or weed problem you're definitely punishing those kids i'm not sure how you're helping the parent because again if you get caught with drugs in your system when you go through a test you're banned from the program for a year and on top of that there's no rehabilitation services offered whatsoever so

they're they really are out in the cold well the fact that there aren't any rehabilitation services to me is what is kind of odd right because he sells it or at least the way he did sell this legislation is that it's going to help us keep people off drugs but doesn't seem like it from the way here you know explain you know you think that if florida taxpayers were told that we can take the money that you you know are now losing because of all the drug test that we're taking are there that are being done and somehow put it towards rehabilitation you think people would really be against that. probably i mean there are there is not i'm not going to speculate things like it is actually in a state like florida which has so many snowbirds are or americans from the north who have seasonal homes in florida they hate paying school taxes that kind of stuff so i understand florida school suck even when they have a ton of tax money but you know i think the bigger problem here is that rick scott sees this is a turn to work when jail does and so you know when you really think about it ok so

somebody starting to throw me in jail for five years if they catch me prescription drugs or there's a threat you take away temporary assistance for my kids i mean if you really are a drug addict and again you could be a recreational drug user and still be kicked out of this program you could smoke marijuana once a month you know whatever suppose somebody who maybe drinks beer of the day will still get their assistance but you know i'm not sure that this is actually going to help anyone i do think it's a good idea to funnel that two to four million dollars and again that's just the cost reimbursement you could have a lot more going into processing those. into rehabilitation services there's still this is sense of to show up for that if you're a drug user because all these drugs are still legal. you know this is interesting for me to have this conversation with you because obviously you're on the civil liberties side of it but i'm assuming you're probably not a huge fan of welfare but that as long as you're giving out welfare to somebody do you think that there should be certain restrictions right i mean the drug test seems a little invasive ask me but should there be restrictions like they've had in california where sorry you can't go to the casino and you can't gamble away or you know right lottery tickets with this money i'm not sure my position on this may be sort of

unique i think direct cash works better than food stamps if you live in a hotel is a lot of floridians do poor floridians after the mortgage crisis not being able to buy prepared food for instance really hurt you you can't prepare raw chicken breasts on a hot plate in a hotel. but i might also think a social safety net is good i mean but it should be a safety net florida is a state that gives out corporate welfare like it's nobody's business and nobody bats an eye when you look at farm subsidies for sugar cane you look. occupational licensure which most people assume is a form of welfare but if you think about the fact that the state requires you to have five hundred hours of training which you'll probably have to get an expensive for profit college to cut hair or design somebody's living room i mean that's a form of welfare the protects people who already have those licenses if you look at the treatment the theme parks are given where they get all kinds of tax breaks for preserving a certain amount of forest land on the ground that's all welfare that's all things they pay less money than everybody else for whatever reason nobody wants to call it

that right because we all know that way things are all about federally nationally and say there's a lot of corporate welfare going around but nobody wants to try to eliminate and those loopholes right now or any of the subsidies so to you know not from the republican standpoint but i think that it's you know it's a great example of the different ways in which people choose to see things is that when it comes to a corporation that's not welfare but a needy family that means you're completely living off everyone else's dime by doing so much for joining us certainly. now still to come tonight he's using it donkeys on a t.v. and to make fun of democrats can have learned that in our tool time segments and happy hour glenn beck is a bust in israel and new guidelines for paid back in just a.

update here on r.g.p. . the future. as you know song was sixteen years old when he committed these murders that's not to say that song so or should not be punished for his crimes song is the no rational person in the neither song has been punished is being honest and will be honest. the sellers must be executed for the brutal crime he committed this is a punishment this is not. a mention. that it's. because he's. been immersed know me whatsoever. and i didn't come here just. unheard of the first. this time through the small. pond wife.

and mother is now. i decided side still time lord and tonight against a former attack the secretary of state roger williams who is now running for congress now doesn't take a genius to see roger williams is going to run against that's president obama and that's democrats in general but how do we know that's well he's new campaign ad is called the donkey whisper so i want to play this ad in several parts and i'll break

down what the good old boy from texas is really trying to say so here's the first clip. you're not a victim you're a patriot you're an opportunist let's take advantage of it ok they don't listen to you know i've been talking these guys forever and they still do not listen. believe. ok so according to roger he's saying that all donkeys are lazy victims or see themselves as such now just in case you're not clear the donkey is a metaphor for the democrats that's a very broad statement to make about a really large group of people but that's his opinion i will let him continue making his claims in the next part of the donkey was for all these guys want to they want more shelter they want more. they get the government making it harder on me or tax me to death i can afford to build that when i don't build it they think oh. oh you guys want do you want to handout i don't have some minute now you get mad again ok. ok so now i guess that means that

a rodgers mind all democrats are just seeking handouts but of course it's up to republicans to provide those services and only republicans alone and he makes the claim of the government is taxing him to death as think progress pointed out today roger calls himself a self-proclaimed successful businessman but he just happened to inherit his father's car dealership isn't that a little bit of a handout to you now for the record taxes here in the us are their lowest levels in sixty years for individuals and corporations that's part of the reason for our current record deficit but i get it this campaign ads are supposed to be a little sensational so i'll let roger williams continue to make his case. these darkies no live in the united states or france they live in the united states of america they're going to get with you of heard me talk about the constitution you ever heard of the constitution it's a great document they keep thinking that obama is going to take care of no bomb is going to feed him obama is going to build their barn if i can get obama health care i can get these teeth fixed ok i get it fixed all right but he's got to get away

he's got to let me do the things i need to do. frazier democrats know they live in the united states but as for health care that battle was fought it was actually the lats by the g.o.p. but i'm pretty sure that the successful businessman wouldn't have any problem enjoying his government health care if he's elected to congress he'd like to take your health care away but if he's elected i'm betting that he'll take that taxpayer funded health care and i'm not sure why republicans love to criticize anybody who needs government help so much seems to be a theme in recent months just last week oklahoma senator tom coburn was asked if obama was trying to destroy the country and he said no but he claimed that obama was just trying to create dependency on the government because it worked so well for him when he was growing up coburn is thinking is that because obama is black he got a lot of extra help from the government growing up or at least some kind of preferential treatment under which there is really any evidence but let's go back to roger williams and his campaign at this is how he wraps everything up i've got to tell you some i'll be honest with you it's

a lot easier to feed elephants it is gone ok and if i have to trade for elephants i'll do it. i am not expecting the average or is feeding elephants for that long to prove how much easier it is but will be kind of fun but go ahead roger williams mock democrats approves you're out of touch with everyday americans people are hurting in the country you want to compare them to jackasses just to win an election firstly i think that makes you kind of a jackass and also tonight still time winner. i got time for happy hour tonight and joining me this evening is our two producer jenny churchill and mike ritz associate of their magazine and reason dot com. hello mike long time no see and ok so glenn beck is in israel right now you remember his restoring honor rally that i had here on the national mall and what's the one in

jerusalem called again restoring or starring i don't really know blanking on on what it was but back to the homeland i doubt that today's event compared to the event that he had here which was kind of through the roof and a little scary if you ask me how many people came out only attracted over one thousand back supporters and it was reported that most of them were evangelical christians from the us. i do not remember they did they go there for this or did they happen to be there you know really lou there with them but a lot of you know israelis are looking at it as their third and they're not looking at it so kindly because they think that he just wants to come over and preaches evangelical christian message and that's it and you know he had a big line up at first senator lieberman was supposed to go there a number of other high ranking people and they ended up canceling at the end and so seems like aside from a little bit of preaching back then just went into predictions. if you know me and you've listened to me over the years you can testify that i am ahead of the curve i

don't know why i can see over the horizon i can't tell you. what time or what order or how it's going to happen exactly but i can tell you the direction of the starfield if somebody said to you when you are paying eight nine or ten dollars a gallon imagine what that will do to you and mark my words we will be paying ten dollars a gallon for gasoline. or wait for most of his predictions to come true it's like he's pretty clear that it is only the radio show that he was doing while he's in israel and we could actually find video of what we wanted from the from the rally but i was watching people live tweeting reporters there on the ground that he was just making fun particular that and then saying how he had been right on this and that he thinks he's not for dahmus i wish i felt very confident about anything in my life anything but again you could say like a stuck clock is right twice a day right i mean if we exist and you know eventually we could pay that much as

fossil fuels right now in a hundred years or however long it's going to take i have no idea i mean i'm sure it's some point that promise it will get through but i mean now they're going back is clearly a profit i'm really excited for him to go up on mt sinai and you know have god tell him you know whatever rules it is we need to live by today so we can come home and peddle these answers to our lives to his viewers and say for the small price of one thousand nine hundred nine i can tell you the meaning of life and i was sure he was a vial of sweat but i sweated well he was fast i sweated this way in jerusalem take it and i bet you there's people out there that would buy back with a profit because they would just try to capitalize on it anyway who would go on to another story that's not come as having a little bit of an issue because some people want them to change their policy and take a look at this example. carole markin and her attorneys were back in court today to make sure match dot com is living up to its promise to screen potential members

against a national sex offender registry we wanted them to do sex offender checking so that no one was a registered sex offender. there is the federal. the county level. all right so i mean this is kind of i think a good debate to have right because this woman here who is suing apparently went out with somebody that she was met through match dot com turns out that he had been a sex offender and had a number of cases behind him and so then when they do to assault her or something or other sexual assault i believe he was convicted of and that was also what he was convicted of prior to the time but then at the same time you have people right in the. umbrella of what can be considered a sexual offender these days is so why they have somebody they can just like streak in public or you know i don't know if he had public and then you're on that list and then why you can never date again. how do you worst of all i really don't i'm sorry but if you can't get on match dot com i mean you can ever dated in florida

could be someone that you were also over all bars and public parks well i want bars actually. michel martin to start fighting i don't want to go in a bar that doesn't have you know background checks because if i meet someone who's a sexual offender at your bar you could be responsible well match dot com pay for the service to right now is that was the very crazy to have sites where you don't pay i'm not arguing you know for against i think it's really i think you would hope that you're going out with somebody who isn't going to be. you know a repeat offender when it comes to sexual assault i also don't think that anybody who has something on their record that what they did when they were i think that is nuclear evidence that there needs to be a better way of classifying these people and that someone who got drunk compete on a playground at night should not be in the same category as someone who you know abuse was on women violently i don't match dot com i would hope not but i think you

start to but you know actually in this is also a great opportunity for a third party to come in i mean i think you know the dating website world is kind of crowded right now though kiki. com and all that stuff but imagine a site you can go to nurse dot com like the standard i would not call it right and that's where i'm not saying a site for sex offenders like they really need to be there sort of on the moral sort of that sex offenders yes. ok let's move on through it speaking of creepy being on my facebook at least trying to decrease by themselves a little bit with a new policy today or actually making it so that when you share a photo you have to choose who you're sharing it with so it's just like google plus a circle so it's like do you want to share this with your friends your coworkers or your poker night. all right so that's a little bit better at least right now you don't have to always after the fact like you two days after a party you sign on to facebook and so he's posted like fifty pictures of you

without your permission and everybody's already in yours or you got to go yeah your boss has e-mailed you said you're fired. you know the will everything start i mean presently really bummed about this because i'm definitely the type of person who's like it's really interesting photograph i wonder how long it takes for them to untag this it's kind of like a game i play and if they make it through like three days i'm like oh so after assassination is a game yes my favorite one actually i like this i mean were you thinking of character and i think you were running out of time but we just have to play this just for fun marines in afghanistan have been told not to fart audibly in front of afghans so they can be sensitive and that kind of made us wonder maybe there should be rule out that for politicians to. we have to figure out what do we do when you like you've got to get some jobs and we have to deal with it and that's one way to do it. we are going to go to afghanistan to i don't cheap shot but like i said earlier today we are not above that here at the. places that i decided i just don't

know why this is coming up now i mean honestly how long we've been in afghanistan are the soldiers there now super farty i'm confused it's like winning hearts and minds right when you sign a new people or do you have to win all faster results yeah i don't know i think this is maybe like ten years too late but also a good thing and same time you know so i mean this is why we're going there and there are obviously a lot of arms that are going to. have to wrap it up and thanks for joining me that's it for tonight's show thanks for trying to get it make sure you can back tomorrow the f.b.i. has a mass of that work of spies are there to prevent the next terrorist attack but are they stopping are they helping with the baby terrorists investigative reporter trevor aaronson joins us to talk about his latest piece in the meantime don't forget you can expand the latest on facebook and follow us on twitter you missed anything go to youtube dot com slash the a lot of still coming up next. wealthy
