welcome to the big picture. says. let's not forget that we had an apartheid museum right leg i think even one hundred twelve. we're never going to says here keep him safe get ready because he can freedom. for fifty five. feet.
10:31 pm
well tonight we got an update on a story that we first told you about last week since august twenty first now five hundred and twenty one activists have been arrested in front of the white house all day can president obama not to make a deal on the keystone x.l. pipeline amongst the top nasa and climate change scientists dr james hansen who said the building this pipeline of the game over for the planet now if you remember the seven billion dollars pipeline would extend from alberta canada to texas and it creates more greenhouse gases because of the extraction method of getting oil from the tar sands meanwhile the state department gave us
10:32 pm
a blessing for the deal and proponents argue that keystone it would bring more jobs to america but this is also the latest topic of our latest show intel segment. all right so you know the activists are against the keystone x.l. pipeline in the state department has released a statement supporting it but we want to know what our viewers about the project is going to parties are. in a frenzy to find out what you have to say. the u.s. is the biggest oil addict in the world so what happens when you tell an addict they're right next door is the biggest score on the whole continent was it today the u.s. is looking to tap into canada with a one thousand seven hundred mile pipeline straight to texas environmentalist's are screaming don't do it and china while they're waiting in the wings to step in if we has a case so we wanted to know should the president allow the u.s. to go ahead and build the keystone x.l. pipeline jonathan said no but in the interest of the oil companies it will be
10:33 pm
approved not in the interest of people who depend on the whole a gala for jonathan's talking about the single most important source of water in the region which is right in the path of the pipeline james on the other hand said yes we should let the deal go through this will help us transition to alternative energy we must not let china take north american resources at something else we should think about we already owed them over a trillion dollars so do we want to let them take away the oil we need right from our own backyard and then steven told us we should be focusing instead on solar power even that makes a lot of sense to maybe then we wouldn't be faced with this decision it's just too bad we never made that really tough decision and went to oil rehab to get rid of our oil addiction once and for all and now i think we all know what the world's biggest oil addict is going to do. by the way thank you for your responses and here's our next question for you we just spoke about former vice president dick
10:34 pm
cheney's book that came out today about a media blitz being interviewed by every child gets a chance but should he be getting prosecuted instead let us know what you think assured that dick cheney did. if their work lives he can respond to us on facebook twitter and you tube and his response just might make it on air. now last week we told you that wiki leaks the release of fresh batch of diplomatic cables they were out there in the open for the public to sort through to find any tidbits of information that could be useful or important however many media outlets are now coming forward saying that wiki leaks didn't remove important confidential material things like lane names of leakers and diplomats who share the information but is it true i guess it depends on what new source exactly you're pulling that information from either spiegel the german based paper that originally reported the fact between julian assigned and former coworker daniel byrd they printed the following information and jenna left back in september of last year to start openly he took with them a complete database of diplomatic cables and supporters accidentally managed to
10:35 pm
reveal a password for that database ultimately releasing the unredacted cables however monday's article in the new york times told that story quite a bit differently it talks about the cables almost as a side note or rather hard on the fact that we give exist chosen to reveal its launch price sources and the opening line their bread and a shift of tactics that is alarmed american officials anti-secrecy organization wiki leaks has published on the web nearly one hundred and thirty four thousand leaks cables in recent days a shift in tactics all sides are a bit of editorializing the paper goes on to put itself in a good light saying that they've always made sure to protect the names of the leakers and to top it off the times says a newly published cables include the names of some people who had spoken confidentially to american diplomats and whose identities were marked in the cables with the warning strictly protect as you can imagine all of this media attention has also drawn a reaction from wiki leaks headquarters so their organization to head there has
10:36 pm
been no leak leaks issue relates to a mainstream media partner and a malicious individual so before anybody gets too confused i think a. if you are going to tell what exactly happened here how this information got leaks if personal information is compromised all those questions still have to be answered but in the meantime i think it's safe to say that you should never trust just one source for your wiki leaks. well tonight we're going to introduce you to the first openly gay republican presidential candidate has name is fred karger fred who you might be asking well that's exactly the way that he's been selling his campaign considering that he's been left out of all the major televised debates and in fact he's filed a complaint with the federal elections commission against fox news for leaving him out of last night a complaint that he personally delivered to the pox news headquarters in new york so let's get into some of fred's policies to see if that's why he's being ignored or asked the obvious if you think that is sexuality might have something to do with
10:37 pm
it joining our studio in los angeles is frank carter republican presidential candidate thank you so much for joining us tonight now i want to talk about there's a lot of firsts so far attached to your name you are the first openly gay presidential candidate that's out there but you also the first one to file for your nomination the first to establish an exploratory committee the first to run from commercials and i was a new hampshire despite all of that how come you've been left out of all the debates well yeah that's a good question i'm i'm also you know a first time candidate i've been in the political process behind the scenes for thirty years but first time as a candidate for any office so that's part of the reason you know they have these different criteria fox had a one percent criteria in the polls and i proved that i should have been in the debate i i qualified but they still left me out so that's why i'm a little suspicious of that's why i filed a formal complaint with the federal election commission have you had any answers about that especially when it comes to fox news. well yeah and you know my
10:38 pm
objection is with the executives of fox news rupert murdoch who's been already under investigation by parliament in england for some misdeeds over there and i've asked the f.t.c. to investigate why i've been left out when i met the qualifications and then roger ailes who's president of the network and i've asked the f.e.c. to look into it they've indicated they've got my complaint it was an eighty two page complaint with all the backup evidence and everything so i'm hoping they'll make an expedited decision because the next fox news to date is coming up in tampa in just two weeks so what exactly is in this complaint i mean are you alleging that they're discriminating against you because it's something homophobic or are you just saying that they're ignoring you they're not giving you the attention that you're due. well you know it's a catch twenty two you know for a first time candidate like myself to get in the debates you have to have good poll
10:39 pm
numbers in order to do that and of course to get good poll numbers you need to be in a debate so you know i think that they have. to be i i stated my case i showed them the five polls where i averaged the one percent which was the requirement to be in the last debate in ames iowa i was actually there i did the spin room afterwards and everything i was interviewed by fox news but they intentionally left me out and the first two debates the c.n.n. and another fox news debate you know i didn't meet the requirements and i took it like i mean but you know in this instance of the i would debate i should have been in there and when i treated unfairly i will i will take action and i did with our federal election commission also let's run through some of your policies here you also support ending the wars in iraq and afghanistan you believe in legalizing and taxing marijuana those are things that we have candidates like ron paul and gary johnson that also support the same time you think that maybe we need to reform our tax system corporate taxes should be lower and health care reform is
10:40 pm
a bad idea you think that terror suspects should be tried in military commissions not in civilian courts that sounds like what all of the rest of the republican candidates really feel so where is it that you stand out because. your views on roe v wade because of your views on gay marriage i mean let's face it every other candidate out there said that they believe in a constitutional amendment to make marriage between one man and one woman. yeah and for of even side is this pledge by the national organization for marriage which would create a witch hunt for people like myself who are gay activists i am consider myself an independent republican and i'm going for that in new hampshire for instance forty two percent of all the registered voters who are independent have left the republican party and the democratic party are looking for someone who can bring back that ronald reagan spirit i worked for president reagan and he had this just undying spirit and optimism and that's what i want to bring to the presidency into this campaign and the ability to get along with the other side but yes i am
10:41 pm
pro-choice you know i am the only full equality candidate i support a very generic thing connected to that i don't like president obama i'm even ahead of him on that and just other social issues i tend to be a lot more progressive or moderate or theatre roosevelt was my hero was the last progressive republican president one hundred years ago and i want to bring back that caring of the republican party i grew up with but also you know the toughness of strong national defense of law and order and smaller government and being fiscally responsible well you know you bring up a really good point there that even our democratic president obama will now come out and say his views on gay marriage will not fully come out and support it so i was behind you know i want something to jump into the race to be you know put on the spot face to face with some of these candidates so let's say that you were in one of these debates and you start hearing a cellblock man or new game various start rambling on about the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman and what you say that how do you come back to them what response do you get. well you know it's last century's discussion we
10:42 pm
need to move on we've got very serious problems in this country of course but you know balancing our budget putting the country back to work and transforming education so you have michele bachmann and mitt romney and rick santorum side this side of her rip a pledge requiring you know it which is a bad idea for a presidential candidate anyway to be beholden to special interest groups by signing a pledge well this one is just so it's full of nasty against an entire class of people they're going to make the republican party extinct and i'm for opening up the republican party let's put gay marriage let's leave it to the states let believe it to the courts you know let's move beyond this instead of demonizing an entire class of people let's work to bring them into the political process and that's what i'm hoping to do but at the end of the day you know i've seen other interviews where you've said that you join this race because you want to give young people you know an opportunity you want them to believe that even if you're gay you can't run for the highest office in the land you can achieve whatever you want but
10:43 pm
how long until we really get to that point where that's ok we don't have a hard time voting for republican candidates they do demonize vilify people like yourself. yeah you know i think we just need to move on and there have been two big polls over the new york times vanity fair poll showed that fifty six percent of the american public would vote for a presidential candidate who is openly gay you know i'm kind of an interesting story i mentioned i worked in politics in republican politics for over thirty years but i was always in the closet i've always been gay but i kept it as a secret because i thought it would jeopardize my family relationship my career well so when i came out of the closet publicly just three years ago it gave me a new kind of reason and responsibility i want to be this first in history gay candidate to run for president and i want to send a message to younger people out there and now older i've heard from too that if you happen to be gay or lesbian or bisexual or transgender that's not endurance you are fine you're equal you can do anything you want to do better fake you can even run
10:44 pm
for president my friend i thank you so much for joining us tonight and i do think that it's a great matheson. thank you lata very much. i said it comes and i think complains about wasteful government spending a lot that's trying to use the police department find out of his life as a boyfriend why not and i think an unhappy hour shocking surveillance video involving a police officer plus rick perry talks about his new male have pulled back from the . internet only written with a mechanism and you don't work to bring justice or accountability. i have every right to know what my government should do if you want to know why i pay taxes. but i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. getting
10:45 pm
some pleasure see the story of the siege so sleep you think you understand it and then a glimpse something else here see some other part of it and realize that everything is just you don't know i'm trying hard look at the big picture. says. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right. i think the. one well. we have the government says they are keeping safe get ready for for freedom
10:46 pm
. if. i had time for tonight's tool time awards night because of fox news host bill o'reilly now the right wing talker has the number one cable news show in the country this evening he might be upset over the story of the website gawker broke
10:47 pm
this afternoon that line reads how bill o'reilly tried to get his wife's boyfriend investigated by the cops and that is a pretty good headline after that according to gawker below use the promise of a donation to a nassau county police charity and hopes of getting police to investigate a detective he suspected was dating his wife now according to the site o'reilly pulled some strings to try and get the police department's internal affairs unit to invest investigate a fellow officer and the gawker writer claims to have e-mails and sources they can back up these claims and it also reported bill o'reilly and his wife that fifteen years seem to be having problems dating back to last year that's a records show that she purchased a new home in her name and moved her voter registration while bill left his voting information at their old address reports of internal affairs officer was called into a meeting last summer and told by his boss to quote meeting with q.p.r. is it working for o'reilly to go over some information because a detective was having an affair with o'reilly's wife and the officer also says
10:48 pm
that his boss told them that o'reilly might be making a donation to a planned forty eight million dollars police training facility at a local community college so his bill around. actually using the nassau county police departments as his own private investigators and he actually wasting taxpayer dollars and resources just to find out of business strange white as they be a cop and if that's the case now go against pretty much everything that bill o'reilly says most days on his show the controversial planned parenthood continues raise the house voting today to forty to one hundred five to defund the organization which currently gets more than three hundred sixty million in taxpayer dollars to liberals that's sacrilege with cable t.v. and satellite radio nearly everywhere there's no need for government for the media at all specially the presentations lately on fear cable t.v. each product of the p.b.s. programs the strong privately owned networks will buy them this is a call for sanity the wasteful and unnecessary federal spending past the stuff.
10:49 pm
all right so bill can rail about taxpayer dollars being wasted on programs that he thinks are useless but he has no problem wasting taxpayer money on police doing his personal video hey bill newsflash we pay for those police officer salaries as well bill o'reilly doesn't practice what he preaches i am just shocked really but what's even better here apparently a local newspaper on long island was looking into reports that some people who gave donations to the police we received favors and that's when the paper's editor in chief got a call from an assistant saying the fox news host never received any preferential treatment for the paper never actually asked if o'reilly had gotten preferential treatment so somebody a little bit paranoid out there and i've got one more important piece in this story gawker is been a target of cops news in recent months they've taken shots of the site over and over again including just last friday. another web site that once upon a time was mildly popular is go ocker but now i understand their traffic is down
10:50 pm
seventy five percent the last year they used to have this celebrity stalker mouth there are those are the reason reach their readers to oh it was horrible and it was a crowd from left and right. so looks like box news and bill o'reilly knew the story was about to hit the web dr claims that they've decided to try and discredit gawker before i leave dirty laundry with their public so nice try fox news but bill o'reilly still wins tonight still is on award for being a total hypocrite. ok for half an hour this evening and joining me tonight is r t producer jenny churchill and his money heard on the hill reporter for roll call to join me guys ok just for kicks just for the happy to play one last time i can't ever get enough of this clip let's remember nancy grace. let me do certain.
10:51 pm
level. and they are playing tonight. there she was referring to casey anthony but nancy grace is actually going to be on dancing with the stars you think that was a little precursor but no i think it was actually subliminal messaging because she said that she got the call when she was on her way to get to find out about the verdict so she knew that. she was so you know well if you're going out to party and do a little dance because she's going to be on. t.v. or else mosher to multitask well her show she had a daytime show that. canceled all the time in the world because it's just can dance dance it up has been or is also going to be on dancing with the stars this is going to be a great line this is going to be a good life and we were just talking about this earlier on our tests of going to be on it. would be good to laurie i encourage daschle did let's move on from celebrity
10:52 pm
gossip a little go back to some more oh wait this is a political cause that this is actually just really embarrassing to have a new mexico and take a look. few weeks ago b. eyewitness news corps told you about an officer can camera having sex while in full uniform and actually here on security camera at the santa fe came in which we've carried out a woman's image but you can see it's doing the daylight hours and officers still wearing his utility belt. i don't really have anything to say about that. ok ok you've seen the wire you know the last season of the wire mcnulty did the same thing i've actually never watched the wire it's something that i hear they should watch some people are going to ask me if this is an out of context sort of a porn shoot and i have to say i'm really confused because there's a prairie dog in the foreground that uses the last part like a perverted curry donor is that i'm really confused that it's really just yet i think this is habitat is looking at the intruders and why are you here you know
10:53 pm
using my this is my get that woman's. make it great you. know real see how. it is i don't was underneath the car and it's like i'm just trying to get. some things you might just like i let his utility belt on again while they're having. ok now let's watch it was an actual political process. rick perry apparently was telling people about is how this one deletes his e-mails every seven days i think that's a little sketchy for a politician don't you i don't think it's just him i feel like that's the policy i'm pretty sure about that that's the policy of his office his entire office every e-mail after seven days is automatically deleted and it is against i mean they're not allowed to do that but they say that they don't worry because they print them out and keep them on record always even if not you're right. we can trust that there are a lot of threat or maybe somebody with that is close by me with firing
10:54 pm
a lifelong wasn't there something that happened with google executive a while ago or one of like. the lead every email they had and the other one kept all of them and the one who kept all the emails god that's good i can't even think about that just because rick perry's doing the e-mails those e-mails are with someone you know that's doesn't mean that there's not a copy out there well it depends on the i mean if he's like e-mailing and it's only the google has his e-mail that we were just wondering you know why rick perry says things could be embarrassed about that does that even really matter if you delete your e-mails i think this is a good example. right
10:55 pm
i mean like kind of almost violent threads towards the federal reserve chairman that he just says that on camera. i don't have a part about it makes me curious as to what i'd be in the e-mails because maybe even worse when he's not on camera when he's writing the same time it's like you're reading various news i'm going to get really exciting lolcat and then you can be super embarrassed they're like all day long it's like kitten photos are going back and forth i mean how much can i really say you can make a montage of completely ridiculous things i said in the shower so i can't really comment on someone's ridiculous i think a marriage they were like for example we all have a little problem bears and things are ok let's move on to something else first let us remind you of these of legislation that we've covered on this show. drug testing welfare recipients florida's republican governor rick scott signing
10:56 pm
a controversial new law that requires welfare recipients down in florida to submit samples for narcotics screening before they can get the benefits governor scott says the goal is to avoid wasting taxpayers' money by giving handouts to people who would blow the money on getting high. are as it actually turns out because we did an interview last week it has not been saving any taxpayer money it's been costing them more money because they're really two people i think that actually did test positive for drugs and in this whole program you get reimbursed because you first come in to pay for your own drug test and so it's a failure yet other states still are trying to go for it alabama is pushing for a greater really like this one of the alabama legislators a saying well fine you know if you're going to go after these types of welfare recipients let's go for all kinds of welfare recipients anybody who gets federal funding and he even volunteered himself and said drug test me right now and i see why stop there after you know corporate executives if they get you know if they get loopholes and their taxes go up there is
10:57 pm
a really of the people who go after i thought that was actually the best idea like everybody who's ever gotten federal funding. if you go to public schools drug test i'm. just saying because you know it's actually ridiculous because. that is going to use its own was that it was all you pointed out how ridiculous it is that it's like we're giving you money and you're poor so you must be doing drugs so definitely point out ocracy because we know half of all streets probably snorting something there you go there you go. that was one of those things are you not only are you hearing from listeners and i say fine then that means all of us would have to get right to think before you pass legislation are you going to run but i know. that's a good right so thanks for joining innovation to come back tomorrow and experience the youngsters in that time any time to get to become a fan of the letter show on facebook and follow us on twitter if you missed any of tonight's or any other night at all that you can call the flash below the hill and coming up next is the.
10:58 pm
instead only a military mechanisms do don't work to bring justice or accountability. i have every right to know what my government would give 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 for life sleep is if you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear see some other part of it and realize that everything is ok and you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.
10:59 pm
let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right now. i think iraq is beautiful and funny well. whatever government says there keep you safe get ready because you give them their freedom. for food for. five.
