you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for like sleep you think you understand it and then he lives something else if you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything is ok. i'm sorry welcome to the big picture says. let's not forget that we are the party. i said. well. we never got the says the earth to safely get ready for the air freedom.

for. food. for. the sea. all right it's time for you said it i read it i 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 last week we spoke to labor

journalist mike elf about the unwillingness of big labor like the sci you in the a.f.l.-cio to stand up to the democratic party and response my t.v. set on you tube this just in union leaders are politicians too. yes sometimes it is very easy to forget this very simple fact the leaders of the labor unions are politicians too with their own factions and pressures to deal with and just like politicians they often shun representing the people who elect them in search of power and in fear of losing it and i think that richard trumka is back and forth rhetoric on obama is a perfect example of that and i want to respond which we received about our coverage last week on the state department giving a favorable review to the keystone x.l. pipeline the greens better tweeted out this the only show that reported on friday august twenty sixth the obama ok for tar sands it was the alone a show no matter how he olbermann or the young turks so we are happy to bring you this important news that is not getting colored elsewhere and this really is an important report for many reasons but mainly because it signals

a favorable view of the project by part of the obama administration and it isn't over yet the state department has until the end of the year to issue a formal report the e.p.a. is also going to have a chance to weigh in and there will be public meetings so the final decision will be made on the basis of whether or not the obama administration decides that the pipeline is of national interest so we're going to make sure to keep you posted on all the developments now finally in response to a viewer who commented on our tool time award or we called our rabbi levin for saying that gays because of the earthquake night out two thousand and six a gay people should be flattered that somebody thinks their sex lives are quite literally earth shaking in any case don't rule out a fire and brimstone yet it may well be on the way now i have to agree with our viewer there are those like rabbi levin seem to ascribe such power to gay people they create earthquakes storms whatever other natural disaster you can think of must be kind of nice now if my rantings tonight i would have more for you later in the week. all side of the republican push to try and defund planned parenthood this

year we've also seen u.s. politicians launch an attack women's reproductive health funding internationally soon barack obama came into office he overturned the global gag rule which blocked international aid organizations that provide abortion related information and services in other countries a concern for lawmakers are working hard and without much media attention to put that gag order back in place just this summer the house foreign affairs committee voted to reinstate it and place it within the state department's budget for fiscal year two thousand and twelve to go through the senate and be firmly approved but if it does it could hurt millions of women worldwide but the thing is if you consider the history behind the rule the history of western money from the world bank usa i.d.m. the u.n. population fund amongst others the beginning in the one nine hundred fifty s. helped her most sex selection as a means of controlling populations fighting poverty and even fighting communism and we see the effects today in china india korea and taiwan so how do we look at this

tragic history and yet move on to keep options available for women in the future earlier i caught up with marvet this insults give me a correspondent for science magazine and author of the book natural selection choosing boys over girls and the consequences of a world full of men now i also asked her about to explain the history of this for us. well history really goes back to the one nine hundred fifty s. when population growth became an issue major concern in the west and it was not referred for a number of. important reasons that we had estimates showing that. people were living longer than ever before and it is advances and public health certainly weren't dying from disease since around the world in creative numbers and it seemed to you and we miss estimates for the first time showing where the population looked like twenty or thirty years out and people became very concerned

about both the right and the left in us there was an. interest in doing something and coming up with strategies to control the. population around the world. there were people in britain who were mixed up in this for ground we sense they were in interests of the united states to make sure that population didn't fear out of control if you really important countries where it was seen as a. way to thread in terms of communism taking hold. in case of it at the beginning and then in the indecencies there were a number of strategies that were put on the table and organizations like planned parenthood. ration council rockefeller board and they are very

involved in. coming up with ways to reduce the park nations for greece possible i'm going to say i mean could you say that you know contrary to popular belief it wasn't jazz them in a story because asians are only planned parenthood here this was also the world bank right as far as i'm concerned imagine the population finally thought about before. foundation here so it wasn't just one subset a group you know one subset within the political spectrum what is it really there go ahead this is a very broad coalition which is a major issue and really founding in us. and in europe as well coming up with strategies to control the population. in both the right and do you have even people like george bush sr were very involved in the. i mean birth control rider in the seventy's and one of the strategies that was going on the table in the sixty's was to actually ensure in a way to have

a son research one of the reasons that women in. parts of asia continue to. continue children was that they wanted a boy and so the idea was then what we why now here in tina where you have. the first trying and this was sex determination at that time was not very far along . the first sex selective abortions at the farm. but it was very experimental only after to a few women in general are. the idea took hold in the early sixty's was let's push research and in you know get this strategy out there but of course you can say that the effects have been detrimental if you look at societies like china like india taiwan korea there i mean what's going on now in these societies where you have such an unequal or an imbalance between the male population and the female

population. why wasn't i cleared churches actually but you had also at the same time a lot of money in the seventy's and sixty's going into strategies like. birth and. abortion in some kind of sometimes unfortunate we've seen really and not offering it to women is an option but in some cases forcing them or strongly encouraging news is and so then by the time ultrasound in got to the point where it could determine the sex the baby is in then the second trimester in the early one nine hundred eighty s. we were is really pent up demand for this technology and there was at the same time very high fortunately in asia in part because of western involvement really you added those two things together and what you got. explosive rates sex selection

beginning the eighteenth in the early eighty's in south korea in taiwan and china in the. car and in my own country as well as meaning. and so now today we are a total of one hundred sixty million women missing out mentioning asia so huge huge. i can say that these are policies that perhaps organizations like the u.n. or the world bank are these things that they've tried to keep secret not exactly a part of their history that they've tried to highlight. what the connection you marry someone. like funimation very open is actually let researchers into its archives and really kind of encourage people to interrogate and history plan here and it's very different organization than it was thirty or forty years ago and the leadership is totally different it's an all woman run organization it

was founded much more as a nation control. enterprise that they're going to use and continue to live in and so that's going to get inside the. messy are working hard there will continue to huge in. so it is a very huge issue and it's something that i'm constantly shocked by honestly the fact that this is such a thriving divisive force in this country and that abortion politics is so prevalent and that we hear the rhetoric really so inflamed on both sides that so how do you move past that because clearly there was there were some policies here in the past that have been detrimental forced abortions those are an ugly past that's something we want to move past but at the same time if you have congress now defunding reproductive health services here in the u.s. there are planned parenthood or reinstating this global gag rule that's going to have negative effects to this and how do you move past that so that the right wing

doesn't always go back to these these arguments. people on the right are very keen to still see these examples of forced abortions that occurred over the past thirty to forty years and i think they're very unfortunate story of exceptions so and actually situations today tens of millions more men than women but i don't think woman should not be she should not be forced to have an abortion she. says she doesn't want to and. questions surrounding sex selection we. do our parents to. be very different. a woman's right to have a fortune and that is actually going to move with. the bushing itself and sort of now it's possible that you're using in vitro fertilization so

you can be for the only reason the mother's so and so is. question. that's not. the people are going to continue to have for a long time our thanks so much for joining us. thank you. just ahead tonight a frame three to victim of a gay jihad or more had a president look at the outrageous comments and are told time segment lasts a little bombing because of faults and a hurricane an earthquake along the east coast last week or a warning from god from washington d.c. cover those stories ahead tonight top of the hour. into that only a military mechanisms to do the work to bring justice and accountability. i have every right to know what my government should do if you want to know why i think

taxes. i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so small a complete you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here sees some other part of it and realize that everything is all going i'm trying hard look at the big picture. let's not forget that we had an apartheid right. i think the. one well.

we have the government says the keep him safe get ready because of the freedom.

all right it's time for tonight's tools on award and then i go to rick santorum the former pennsylvania senator and two thousand and twelve presidential candidate isn't that a top prospect in the race and fact he's got about eight zero chance of winning the nomination but rick is still on the campaign trail talking about hers and holding out hope so he was in south carolina on friday speaking to a small group but he launched into an attack on gay rights activists now case you're not aware santorum has been hounded by gay rights groups since his two thousand and three remarks comparing the legalization of gay sex and gay marriage to pat ophelia b.c. ality and incest but rick sees himself as the real victim in this battle even though he's the one that picked a fight. he should carry is simply to be out here. in the corner all right the right. thing to gay rights groups who oppose you are waging a jihad against you go

a little much isn't it and something tells me that you're being a little bit of a hypocrite here because you were when vice president joe biden was reported to have called tea party members of congress charisse during the debt ceiling debate well rick was the live it over the alleged comments he took to twitter to slam biden saying leaving a pats town hall and clinton's comment on tea party no surprise he hasn't been right about terrorism in years and he called up i seriously joe this is beneath you in your office apologize and mean it so rick or you know apologize for your comments and you know one does rick who became outraged by the terrorist comments the right wing the five snoozed crowd they were also astonished the biden would dare call their beloved tea party terrorists. today the vice president cues the tea party of acting like terrorists over the debt ceiling debate yes terrorist i suppose it's a bit more appalling to have been called acting like terrorists today from the he who is second in command of the most powerful office in the world these last years

for thirty years. all right so i gotta admit i'm kyra wondering if m.s.m. b.c. is going to go ballistic over santorum comments about gays because if you notice tell us whole thing works out somebody on the left called the tea party terrorists on the right gets outraged then somebody on the right calls gays your heart is the left is outraged but both will that of course selectively ignore it when it comes from their own side so everybody can just cut out the fake outrage because we all know that you're just going to end up having to stick your foot in your mouth the next time you ignore comments or defend comments on the very same thing that you were so upset about so for being a total fraud and a hypocrite for providing more of this he said she said let's start using terrorist terms in our vocabulary loosely to piss people off otter we're giving tonight's bull's-eye toward the g.o.p. presidential candidate rick santorum.

ok guys it's time for happy hour and joining me this evening is our two producer jenny churchill and the nick morris santoro reporter for talking points. thanks for joining me guys so yeah it's time to take some cheap shots of politicians because nobody wants to talk about anything else with a hurricane but we'll get a hurricane of politicians talking about a hurricane but first let's talk about former vice president dick cheney who of course is right now thinking his new book but i think the most shocking revelation through all of this apparently he has a heart take a look. at your show me how it works sure it's going to coincide right into my heart it's. powered by batteries and they're good for about ten hours when you take them out of. place. oh yes we have the heart.

maybe the i guess the real hard work without the but i would you have told me to put it back in. god. because i find it hard to believe that dick cheney doesn't have a backup battery therefore we don't we don't really know if his heart is real or not if it's actually pumping its own blood we don't know that because i think there's another one that's how much some are another battery i don't think there's any way that it's a real human heart i just don't know i wonder if it's never been real or if at some point he decided to trade it out for the battery pump well you know one i don't understand yet you know let me check the battery period you would think with you know oil pump just with the pump right in and i mean zero if you're the prius or vice presidents now i mean it's strange for him but you know what you hate it alternative energy when he was vice president. now he runs on alternative energy that's interesting do you think carrie starchild that they are. the rechargeable

very little solar panels or maybe able windmill now damn i guess you know time changes that everybody. thought of course a guy would have thought dick cheney the guy on this but i mean some of you really do want to share our kind was like you can say anything or should i just let it show just wait and see. ok five fairly i'm the only one that actually wants to do happy hour. as opposed to just you know you're right but they don't want to say yes i would have sat there and like dick cheney diets i said ha ha you took your battery out is that what you want me to say no i was going to be really big. you just want to go through some people like i mean coffee's for example that the dick cheney apparently you know i'm that ok we're talking about i would never let a guy i mean chair all right like real live through somebody. who

is also older and who wants to be the president and who has had this happen in the past take a look. at the right. thing here something like oh the boy they are going through this know this you know. ok so newt gingrich i believe was the first one to get glitter bombed for his anti-gay views because then we saw a lot of coverage sort of on happened we saw michele bachmann was santorum to the political yeah i think so marcus bachmann her husband's office. and had the best seat arbiters the gay flash mob which we spoke about on friday but now gingrich basically wrote a letter to the new york times and told them that he thinks that glitter bombing is an assault and should be treated as such you say well there's no question that it's a violation of your personal space right but. no later yeah i mean you know people are defending it and saying you know it's not i mean i wouldn't say that it's

necessarily you know assault like getting punched in the face or something i don't know that you punch in the face is not assault that's battery but the difference assault is not actually being hit it's threatening violence so really that's i mean that's commonly misunderstood here yes so so you don't actually have to touch anyone if you threaten that if you come off as threatening violence that's a good programmer you know is throwing glitter actually threatening violence this is one i mean i think we're having the wrong conversation here i want to know why he wants them charged with assault they should be charged with terrorism clearly if you're going to be informed they are obviously jihadists committing acts of sparkly terrorism all over the place so we're going to be in the sparkly you know i mean it's one of the side of his campaign too that he is now having to step up his rhetoric about glitter we want i mean it just shows where he is in the in the polls right now if you have to take a strong stand against your own stand it's never walk over to the other two letters for him i guess he was running late taken this long also like he was put on two months ago three months ago and now he's like i just cited today that this is all

because he has nobody paying attention to him anymore because no one had a gay flash mob so he's just trying to get back in the news and now he's got to talk about glitter really sad when you have to coach news from marcus bachmann now you know. very sad things about the group at this point so let's move on to something else this campaign michele bachmann is still going on in full force and she said this about all of the natural disasters that we've been having lately. washington d.c. you think by now they get the message and earthquake or hurricane. are you. thinking we possibly can now time for an active guy didn't. i pick did you break this story i've been on what i can point i didn't break that you said it but we did get her campaign saying actually she was kidding this whole time it was a joke which some people said that it was in the beginning it turns out she

actually said this in a couple places and florescent really was kind of like a new rhetorical idea for her so it was like her comedy writing team that's. the audience where the floridians exactly get your figure to go with this sort of making fun of the killer hurricane line you know and she was also in sarasota in the last clip which is like really old people really old people. and it didn't appreciate. her in there just thinking of me like like you know they're like you know i don't know. but i think it's i think that's true if you want to the biggest one of our biggest gaffes in quite a while i mean you know she's out there talking about earlier about elvis getting it wrong and the whole john wayne thing but now she literally had to walk this whole thing back and say it was a joke and it may have been a joke i don't think anybody took it that way who for example lives in the limelight already you know she's laughing it seems very very fast if the right thing for it you know you can i mean he has down probably joking however i mean so

god is really concerned about the u.s. overspending in our doctors that i think he'd be a little more concerned about our illegal wars in countries and you know countries that we're fighting wars that we're not telling anyone about except that's just me all right if the site is now let's run through our last story ok so anonymous obviously has been in the news for a long time and whenever anonymous protesters go out they wear those guy fawkes masks that came from this move. it will not be afraid to go. home and i want those tears for i want him to understand what has really made me. i love it it's so sinister and scary it will so it turns out actually that with the help of anonymous this mask has become one of the most popular disguises and it's added to the twenty billion dollars in revenue that time warner gets because they put out that movie return on its heels about that and wonder if they have any beef

with time warner and at some point they're going to try to hack them and what else i think it goes to show you can't fight so you can fight city hall but you can't fight corporate america i mean it's i mean it's not just anonymous is mask it's also i'm sure they use computers and p.c.'s at the you know their borders like cheetos and stuff late at night in a basement those things you know that all goes into somebody is corporate water i can say what i've said is that's what you would want and all that stuff that goes into somebody's some corporate america's pocket i mean it's hard to sort of you just can't you just can't have a sony life doubtingly haven't made a point earlier you know the gays actually might be supporting corporate america by buying all that glitter who knows where that glitter comes from and there are serious questions to be are you know really right overhead everyone like old ancient glitter they are going to have to wrap it up thank you for joining me tonight i figured i'd show thanks for tuning in and make sure they come back tomorrow here for the presidential candidate credit card or will be on the show to discuss it being the first openly gay presidential candidate for a major party being excluded from the debates and much more than in trying to get
