you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for like sleep you think you understand it and then a glimpse something else is here so you some of the part of it and realize that everything is ok. i'm charging welcomes a big picture says . let's not forget that we had a party right here. i think. the one well. we're never going to says they're going to keep him safe get ready for the freedom .

for. for. the sake. of. all right it's time for you said it i read it or take time to respond to my brilliance and engaging viewer comments from facebook twitter i need to because when you've got something to say i listen now last week we spoke to. journalist

mike allen about the unwillingness of big labor like the sci you in the a.f.l. c.i.a.o. to stand up to the democratic party and response of my key these that 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 for you 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 to a tweet received about our coverage last week on the state department giving a favorable review to the keystone x.l. pipeline greens better tweeted that is the only show that reported on friday august twenty sixth the obama ok for tar sands it was a loner show no matter 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 projects are part of the obama administration and this 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 be sure to keep you posted on all the developments now finally in response to a viewer who commented on our tool time award or recall that rabbi levin for saying that gays caused the earthquake night out two thousand and six that gay people should be flattered that somebody thinks their sex lives are quite literally earth shaking in any case don't rule out the 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 that my rantings tonight i would have more for you later in week. all sides are republican paul. 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 but conservative lawmakers are working hard and with al letson 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 and that has to go through the senate and be firmly approved but if it does it could hurt millions of women worldwide but the thing is you have to 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. help promote 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 maher but this and this install excuse 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 i also asked her about to explain the history of this for us. clearly history really goes back to the one nine hundred fifty s. when population growth and major concern in the west and it was an issue for a number of routledge and important reasons that we had estimates showing that. people were living longer than ever before that in part because of advances in public health certainly weren't dying and disease. around the world in as creative numbers and it seemed to you and we miss estimates for the first time showing. the population in the book like twenty or thirty years out and people became very

concerned. both the right and the left and there was an. interest in doing something and with strategies to control the. nation around the world. there were people on question who were mixed up in this for wrong reasons they were. just so the united states to make sure that. you're out of control deeply in poor countries where it was seen as a. way to thread in terms of communism taking hold. but i think it is the beginning and in a decent sixty's there were a number of strategies that were put on the table and organizations like the parent . nation council and the rockefeller. foundation they are.

coming up with ways to reduce our. i don't want to say i mean could you say that you know contrary to popular belief it wasn't just them an historian ization their only planned parenthood here and this was also the world bank right as far as i'm concerned imagine the population find you talked 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 major issue and really founding in us. and in europe as well for coming up with strategies to control the. support from both the right and even people like george bush sr were very involved in i mean birth control in the seventy's and a lot of the strategies that was put on the table in the sixty's was to actually

ensure in a way to have a son to research and show the research that women in. parts of asia continue to have boy continue children was that they wanted to abort and so the idea was then well why not guarantee them over you have. the first time and this was sex determination at that time was not very far along. the first sex selective abortions that there were fifty but it was very experimental only after to a few women in general. but then the idea took hold in the late sixty's was let's push research and when you get that strategy out there. of course you can say that the effects advanta term mental if you look at societies like china like india taiwan korea there i mean what's going on now in the societies where you have such an equal or an imbalance between the male population and the female population.

well i wasn't very clear clear chytrid 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. unfortunate way it's really not offering it to women as an option is forcing them or strongly encouraging. and so then by the time that ultrasound got to the point where it could determine the sex the fetus in in the second trimester in the early one nine hundred eighty s. there was a really pent up demand for this technology and there was the same time very high fortunately in asia in part because of western involvement really you add those two things together in what you've got. explosive great sex selection beginning

in the early eighty's in south korea in taiwan and china in the. sense that is car another country. meaning. and so now today. total of one hundred sixty million women missing out wish and so huge huge gap i can say to their policies that perhaps organizations like the u.n. or the world bank there are these things that they've tried to keep secret not exactly a part of their history that they've tried to highlight. what it can actually do marry some organizations are. nation very open is actually research into its archives and really kind of encourage people to interrogate the history of plan here and that's very different organization than it was thirty or forty years ago and the leadership is totally different it's a woman run organization it was founded much more as

a nation control. enterprise but there are bits of continue to haunt him and so that's going to get inside the infamous c. or working parts of x. then there will continue to be a huge and. so it is a very huge issue you know and it's something that i'm constantly shocked by honestly the fact that this is such a driving divisive force in this country and that abortion politics you know is so prevalent and that we hear the rhetoric really so inflamed on both sides of it 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 the 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. through planned parenthood or by inflating this global gag rule that's going to have negative effects to this is how do you move past that so that the right wing

doesn't always go back to these these arguments. but people on the right are very keen to. these examples of course abortions that have occurred in the usual. three to four years and i think they're very unfortunate story of exceptions so and we've got you situation today we have tens of millions more men and women but only you and i think the 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 need. parents to run a sex we've got to very different one. woman's right to have an abortion and that is actually one and is. it working and so now it's possible to. be using in vitro fertilization so you can

be for the peace and love. and so this is the question. to select and that's not. a debate that people are going to continue to have for a long time ari thanks so much for joining us. thank you. just ahead tonight a flame for me the victim of a gay jihad mohammed presidential candidate outrageous comments that are told i'm segment plants a little vomiting never fault and a hurricane earthquake along the east coast last week or a warning from god from washington d.c. remember those stories ahead tonight yeah. into that only a military mechanisms do go to bring justice or accountability. i have a right to know what my government should make 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 please if you understand it and then you glimpse something else here's some other part of it and realize that everything you saw you don't know i'm sorry is a big issue. let's not forget that we had an apartheid. i think. even one well.

we have the government says they're for keeping safe get ready because their freedom.

it's time for tonight's tool time award and then i to 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 a zero chance of winning the nomination but rick is still on the campaign trail talking of voters and holding out hope so he was in south carolina on friday speaking to a small group when he launched into an attack on gay rights activists now in 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 pedophilia 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 game is played out here. and they want to hold the right. thing to gay rights groups who oppose you are waging a jihad against you

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 over rick was the live it over the alleged comments he took to twitter to slam biden saying leaving a packed town hall and clinton comment on tea party no surprise he has been right about terrorism and here it's now he followed up by 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 what does rick who became outraged by the terrorist comments the right wing the fox news crowd they were also astonished by the would dare call their beloved tea party terrorists. today the vice president cues the tea party of a caffeine like terrorists over the debt ceiling debate vs terrorists i suppose it's a bit more appalling to have been called acting like terrorists today from he who is second in command of the most powerful office in the world the oil.

ok all of the. right so i gotta admit i'm kind of wondering if s n b c is going to go ballistic over santorum comments about gays because he noticed how this whole thing works out somebody on the left calls the tea party terrorist on the right gets outrage then somebody on the right calls gays you're hot 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 they're just going to end up having to stick their 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 it's all a fraud and a hypocrite and providing more of this he said she said let's start using terrorist term in our vocabulary loosely to piss people off otter we're giving tonight's bull's-eye woodward to g.o.p. presidential candidate rick santorum.

ok guys it's time for happy hour and joining me this evening is r.t. producer jenny churchill and adam mcmorris santoro reporter for talking points memo 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 but her again but we'll we'll get to the hurricane of politicians talking about the hurricane but first let's talk about for a vice president dick cheney who of course is right now painting his new book but i think the most shocking revelations are all of this apparently he has a heart people. thank you just show me how it works it's got a point inside it's tied into my heart it's. powered by batteries and they're good for about ten hours and when you take them out of. place put it back and.

so you feel the heart. maybe the i guess the real hardwood. but i would you have told me to put it back in. god not. that i really do my share you know i just i find it hard to believe that dick cheney doesn't have a backup battery therefore we can't turn down we don't really know if his heart is real or not if it's actually pumping it's own blood we don't know that because i think there's another one i touched them or another battery i don't think there's any way that it's a real human heart i just wonder i wonder if it's never been real or if at some point he decided to trade it out for the battery well you know. yeah you know how many trucks a battery period you would think with dick cheney you get so you know oil pump just with crude right and i mean it's you know he's a good prius a place president smell 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 a little windmill now dan i guess you know time changes that everybody. is kind of curious a really good source dick cheney that guy on the spot but i mean some of you really do want a shower and i was like you can say anything or should i just let me just wait and see. ok live fairly obviously one actually wants to do happy hour. that's going on right now no to say yes i would have sat there and like dick cheney giants i said ha ha you take your battery out is that what you want me to say no i think we're really really big. you just wonder does not go through some people like i mean cos he's for example death to dick cheney apparently you know i think that ok we're talking about i want to overload are going to air all right but real lives through somebody. who is also old and who

wants. be the president and who has had this happen to him that's take a look. at the rate. of all your current through the snow 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 programs that are bought and happened we saw michele bachmann was that santorum to the political yeah i think so marcus bachmann her husband's office. ok iran has the best you barbarians the gates. 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 the such but you say well there's no question that it's a violation of your personal space right but still 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 i felt like being punched in the face or something i don't know and really getting punched in the face is not assault that's battery the difference assault is not actually being hit it's threatening violence so really it's not something that's commonly misunderstood here yet so you don't actually have to touch anyone if you threaten that if you come off as threatening violence that's such a good program you know just throwing glitter actually threatening violence is just as long as 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 go rick santorum they are obviously jihadists committing acts of sparkly terrorism all over the place so a little bit of a sparkly you know i mean some of this out of his campaign to 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 you better watch out you know you have to flatly through and i guess if you never ever invited it taken this long also like he was glitter bombed two months ago three months ago and now he's like i decided today that this is all because he has nobody paying attention to me more because no

one has. gay flash mob so he's just trying to get back in the news and now he's got to talk about glitter is really sad when you have to poach news from marcus bachmann now on a. number of sad things about the gingrich campaign 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'd think by now they get the message and earthquake or hurricane. thing we possibly can out of time for an active guy didn't getting it. i think did you break this story i've been on well i don't want 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 for us really was kind of

a canoe rhetorical idea for her so it was like her comedy writing team that's not a. floridian 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 people really old people. going to appreciate a story if you will remember just says anything like you like you know they're like you know i don't know. but i think it's i think it's true every one of the biggest one of our biggest gaffes in quite a while i mean you know she's out there talking about earlier about getting his birthday 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 are going to lives in the limelight are you know you know she's laughing it seems very sarcastic even though i think richard you know you can't think she has down probably joking however i mean so god is really concerned about us overspending in our deficit i think he'd

be a little more concerned about our illegal wars in countries and you know countries where we're fighting wars that we're not telling anyone about except that's just me it's decided now let's rewind to our last story ok so anonymous obviously has been in the news for a long time and whenever an honest protesters go out they wear those guy fawkes masks they came from. it will not be afraid to go. home and i want this terror. and i want it to understand what really. what. i love it so sinister and scary well so it turns out actually that with the help of anonymous this mass 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 what's going on his heels about that and wonder if they have any

beef with time warner and at some point they're going to try to help 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 about you know their waters like cheetos and stuff late at night in a basement those things you know they're all doing this somebody is corporate water i can see all that said is that's what you want 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 let you just can't have a so nobody lives down the only i've made a good point earlier you know gays actually might be supporting corporate america by buying all that glitter who knows where that glitter comes from there are serious questions to be are you know regrettably one like the old ancient glitter they are great i have to wrap it up thank you for joining me tonight it's a good show thanks for turning in and make sure you come back tomorrow hear from the presidential candidate pretty hard on the show to discuss it being the first openly gay presidential candidate or a major party being excluded from the debates and much more in the meantime if it's
