the. hardest time for you said it i read it i take time to respond and i really and engaging viewer comments from facebook twitter and you tube and you've got some to say i listen now first i want to respond to a viewer who watched our interview with republican presidential candidate fred karger like craig or last night can make last a whole comment on facebook and she said i hope it gets in the next debate and gary johnson to i'm sick. and as i'm taking the candidates there are good people out
6:32 pm
there with good ideas and can bring new solutions to the table which is just what this country needs and yes i totally agree fred alike gary johnson has been excluded from both republican presidential debates and while i don't agree with everything that either candidate proposes i couldn't agree more with cammy that what our country needs is new solutions a new way of looking at our problems so why not let more people in all the debate people and ideas that are outside of the status quo because it's pretty clear that the status quo hasn't been working it's also clear that the establishment is hell bent on making sure that bringing in those new people or new ideas is something that doesn't happen for us we're going to keep bringing you those people the ideas of the mainstream scared us so tune in tomorrow we're going to have another presidential candidate on the show buddy roemer former governor of louisiana now next i want to respond to a comment here who viewed our tool time award to rick santorum proclaiming that gay rights activists are waging a jihad against him rex track thought on you tube first i seriously think santorum
6:33 pm
is wife should worry that her husband is obsessed with gays especially game and gay sex i think he needs the bad no doubt most likely highnesses gave foreign sash ok i think rex maybe took this a little bit too far but i do have to agree with him that it's a bit strange that rick santorum dedicate so much time and energy talking about gay people what they do in their bedroom i have no idea for rick and furthermore for that matter the majority of the republican party stop obsessing about what goes on in people's bedrooms spend a little bit more time focusing on things like the economy and lastly i want to thank one of our viewers who watched our interview last night with former chief of staff to colin powell colonel lawrence wilkerson stephen webster the senior editor at ross' story tweeted to us hey ideologue a show great wilkerson interview keep it up so i want to thank stephen for the kaufman and for posting our interview on raw story are huge fans of the site and are constantly turning there for news the mainstream media doesn't cover that's it my rantings today have been have more for you next week as usual. this
6:34 pm
time. the light will come down. why are we going to be singing. today we have a glimmer of hope and it comes from the financial world i know there's still corruption on wall street but it does look like the financial times as brits put down over the slimy methods the apple uses with its app store you see when companies agree to make their applications available on apple's products in-store a rule put in place by steve jobs requires those companies to sell their apps of scription as well oh and they also take thirty percent of the revenue but in this instance if you wanted a subscription to the financial times out you have to pay for it through apple so the negative company argues this rule exists for convenience customers can get the app and subscribe all the same place. doesn't tell you is that it also has a nasty habit of collecting user data for behavioral tracking and just last week you mentioned how this type of tracking just
6:35 pm
a fancy way for advertisers to know what appeals to each user so i think it's safe to say the apple's working hand in hand with those well paying at tracking agencies took even all of that in mind when you talk about financial times they wanted to protect their subscribers from apple's behavioral tracking so they've had several discussions with the company about making changes to their policy but apple wouldn't budge so the financial times decided to end its ties with apple and stop selling their out through the store despite the fact that digital subscriptions increased by thirty four percent just in the first half of this year now financial times instead of a web based out for their users and they're encouraging anybody who wants to stay with their peers and own a company transfer their business there but let's take a moment to focus on the real story here a company has actually put their users before their profits i mean i'm simply shocked that i really wish the other companies out there would have the exact same attitude in the meantime i think it's safe to say the way the financial times has stood up against apple's. is true glimmer of hope. now if you haven't yet seen
6:36 pm
a video of two robots talking to each other the one that's going viral you sure it's pretty odd pretty amazing and here's a short clip. how you grade you i'm ok that's good i do good yes i am good i just said i was not you didn't i said i was so you were rude you know my name is kind of winter. now they go on to talk about unicorns god and whether or not the other is lying so somebody sitting there typing this character is making it entertaining for all of us nope the robots are actually coming up with it themselves and learning as they go along a system was created by combining three components a chap bought a text to speech sympathize synthesizer and an avatar brain or so the conversation between a few clever bots was recorded and the cornell created machine flap of the experiment being created by two grad students chasing osinski and igor in love with earth and
6:37 pm
the professor responsible for it. so let's see if we can figure out how this works and what exactly that might mean for the future of artificial intelligence joining me to discuss that is hard lips and director of the cornell creative machines lab and associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at cornell university thank you so much for joining us professor now this was i have to say not only call because obviously there are two robots talking to each other but because the conversation that they had was so incredibly amusing but we're going to get into some of the few things that they said i first want to know if you can just explain this to us in basic terms for me how exactly this works so there's you know you so there are three components here of who are good it's an awesome show. called clover which. show all components. connected to basically. talking to. these things are. loose and we watched what happened and what
6:38 pm
really amazed us we really weren't expecting to see anything but what do you mean when you say you let it loose does that mean that it was it was completely unpredictable you had no idea of what was going to come out of their mouth how do they decide what to say exactly so that we're good news show it works the loss of the right is that. basically we learn from talking to lots of people will be years i believe this particular chart. when you know you know progress stations with the . people or a couple of years and it's collected it's learned things that it's talk to people it's phrases it has learned what people say in response to. cobble these things together and it can have a sort of conversation you know usually these charts are designed to be meaningful conversation with you met by this really interesting to see what happens when you connect the chart parts you're the clone of that soul. just loose so how
6:39 pm
are they actually thinking for themselves here you know like how do they decide what the best answer is imagine that they've heard certain conversations they've heard happy people respond and then rise that somehow or it's like a survival of the fittest type of mechanism well it's kind of it's a it's a learning algorithm components and puts them together based on statistics whether or not he really understands what it's saying the short answer is probably no but in a more philosophical sense it's difficult to tell whether anybody understands any of people will be repeating or things the earth sometimes without understanding it and so many children are sometimes that's how conversations are by copying and putting phrases to go so to a large extent it's kind of copying a human learning mechanism. but how does this differ from some of the other robots that are out there of course we know if you look at some of the japanese companies they already have robots that can conduct weddings for people they have robots that
6:40 pm
can take care of the elderly i mean it's amazing what those machines do how is this different source for us this is a robot just really. it's the process of text it synthesizes we connected it to a component person decides his voice produces. a animation also which i think it could story. but this is also not very career not many of the robots that you see. writings or got played well in a very career there's a team of engineers sitting there are designing every step of the process and it will actually. came to specify every step of the way and this is not force them to any years and during that we have no control over where it goes it just goes where it goes and that's a big part of the fire think people are actually. listening because you can feel
6:41 pm
it's sort of spontaneous and gives it a little bit of a life like flair ok what are things that you're talking about the spontaneity of the conversation let's play we have two clips i'm going to play this one first now having us on. i'm not a robot i but you said that you were who of course i did not i thought you did you are mistaken which is on susan and really shouldn't be a problem for you once you know that. i love that because you have one robot accusing the other robot of lying and the other one at the same time recognizing that the other is a robot and memory shouldn't be a problem for are you surprised by that. yes we were surprised frankly all of it. we were especially surprised at the statement about the unicorn and i think that will make for excellent peach t. shirt don't you think i think there's a there's a lot of interesting things there it's it's really. things that i think this search
6:42 pm
out there are from talking to other people that's the only way i can explain where that where these things stand ok and we have one more and assuming this happened come from a human being as well. discard when you look not everything not everything could also be something for example not everything could be half of something which is still something and therefore not nothing. robots talking about guy. that's pretty that's pretty incredible that yeah i think if you know if you look out the course of this so you said it became caro and forty four hours but what's really fascinating is the look at color so people left on the you tube channel and how they responded to this thousands of comments. how people will be exactly the quote unquote sexual tension between the robots and of course you know these are words are completely gender. or people are actually. really just
6:43 pm
religion and god and all these things it's really fascinating to see that well i think it's a very fascinating very cool experiment i just hope that it's leading us in a good direction and not one where robots are seen to be taking over the work of god thank you so much for joining us tonight pleasure. after the con just makes after twelve. night full time segments and then happy hour should ugly people the offer of legal protection and steven seagal goes all bad ass i think i can just not . into it only it would be mechanisms to do the work to bring justice or accountability. i have every right to ignore my government truly want to know why i pay taxes. why we characterize obama as a charismatic sort. of american exceptionalism. you
6:44 pm
know sometimes you see the story and the scene so you think you understand it and then you've learned something else here's some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't i'm sorry because of the. let's not forget that we. were. i think. well. we never got as they're going to say get ready for freedom.
6:46 pm
channel found last night's show bowling was discussing the center for american progress report entitled here the roots of the islamophobia network in america as we've discussed on the show the six month report looked into the funding behind the islamophobia frenzy here in america and they found seven foundations are spending more than forty million dollars to help spread now they include the donors capital fund the richard mellon scaife foundation and linden harry bradley foundation the newton and michelle backer found a. the new international backer charitable trust the russell barry foundation the anchorage charitable fund and william rosenwald family fund and the fair book foundation that is now moving on the report also highlight the five so called experts these would be frank gaffney daniel pipes david your shalvey robert spencer and steven emerson so these are the people that in the report are accused of taking the foundations money spreading islamophobia on air online and a number of events so as you can imagine this report kind of pitstop right wing
6:47 pm
land here in america including eric bolling take a look at me the point this out i'm reading this directly from from this report the obama center for american progress has released a report that blames islamophobia in america on a small group of jews in israel supporters in america whose use are being backed by millions of dollars. so eric says there's a lot of that support the blames islamophobia in america on a small group of jews in israel supporters in america whose views are backed by millions of dollars actually erick that is a flat out lie a center for american progress called out eric bolling on the comment that even offered to send fox news a copy of the report just in case they were confused he had wondered why eric bolling would make a claim like this on air. or the v.p. at center for american progress and editor in chief of think progress tell you why he was a guest on our show on monday night. it was the program this network if you could go to the funders and say stop funding this
6:48 pm
a then what does that accomplish all that stops these five individuals from operating and producing the propaganda that they are producing every day which then starts the cycle of people using it on fox news all. the washington times the national review radio outlets like rush limbaugh and michael savage and politicians that's right it's the worst kept secret in town ochs knew without spread a lot of phobia how many of these so-called experts on muslims and islam mentioned in this report often appear on their show and that's why eric bolling is making up claims in quotes on air to try and discredit this report seems like a fair and balanced network doesn't really like it when they're being called out for what they do and that's why we're giving eric bolling so nice tools on work.
6:49 pm
ok time for happy hour and joining me this evening is r.t. correspondent christine purcell and jim hansen retired special operations master sergeant and military blogger at black five dot net thanks for joining me guys one of them to people that i have a table with me that i will not be able to benefit from this idea coming from this economist who thinks that ugly people should be provided legal protection take a look. so ugly people earn less money over their lifetime and you want to help them. well they earn less money they get less earning spouses they have trouble getting loans and i think helping them is at least as justifiable as helping many of the groups we now protect. now let's go through the way that he made a study here basically the way they came to this conclusion saying that americans who ranked at the bottom of an extract of misc ale earned ten to fifteen percent less a year than workers with similar scales but skills but much better looks and they
6:50 pm
had a life time difference typically of about two hundred and thirty thousand dollars. but people deserve legal for i guess i have a problem with theirs i got a fight with my team earlier this morning because it judges who is ugly and who is beautiful it's totally subjective you know what on earth is an attractiveness scale i mean i think it's an interesting idea to see how people look and how about relates to how much money they make but who is in charge of distractedness you know who are the judges that's what i want to know what do you say should people get you know welfare i'm going to reshoot a couple mentioned but i got a disc concur i think i would benefit from this i think i'm one of the people who would be a beneficiary and i figure you know this is one of those affirmative actions i could get behind i mean obama made it all of us on the color of skin i could make it to the plate else he didn't make it to me a silver dollar on it was a big reason why do you letters that i heard about a little bit to our president do you think there are you lot there's that you know i can take advantage of this let me just look a little more disheveled i want cut my hair
6:51 pm
a little bit on. the majority people don't have to try to do that so i think it would be most if you took a bullet a plebiscite would pass this in a heartbeat. oh oh goodness gracious i mean obviously it's true that good looking people are more likely to get jobs they're more likely to have higher salaries there are now that there are statistics prove this and you can talk about what's attractive this and there are all the studies that show you that it's about symmetry in the person's face but. they're only also more likely to be sexually harassed or. being made to feel uncomfortable by coworkers or people like a million people thirty. three christine. says poor pretty alone. ok guys let's move on to somebody who i actually think the world needs protection from. and that is steven seagal who after his long career of doing very very very bad movies has now decided to be a lawyer and take out the show. when i was in the show we're with
6:52 pm
a bunch of different people get special security operation rescue. history. so if you study the history of guns that apparently able to handle one thing about this is steven seagal is being sued because there was a raid there going to a house to see if there was biting going on there so he's getting sued for driving a tank into the house during the raid killing a puppy and then of course he said that animal cruelty is one of his pet peeves that's what he said before going on this raid. he killed the puppy and then after this raid one hundred roosters were euthanized. steve steve was sicko and his biggest problem is that pretentious voice he uses and he had to write in an attempt to get his bloated carcass guys i did to as he was being mean it was ridiculous unless this show law man ends with the arrest and incarceration of sheriff arpaio
6:53 pm
who is continually been working with steven seagal on his show i mean i think it's absolutely ridiculous i think it's horrible to think this is a guy who had kids i mean if his behavior he's asked he's trying to sue the goal in the show and he's asked to go for a personal apology letter for his children for killing their puppy but i mean i thought this was really discuss it absolutely disgusting and i think it's crazy i mean reality t.v. whether we like it or not i mean this is the direction that we're moving in in both real life and television life reality t.v. is everywhere but it's just sad to me that this kind of stuff is going on that we're also getting law enforcement involved. we're going to wonder if it's perpetuating it too right because one of the things we talk about constantly on this show is the over military's ation you could say is somebody swat raids that happen. for nonviolent crimes you have a whole team of the runs in and so now you have it on t.v. as if it's some form of entertainment and steven seagal riding in on a tank and intake for a little girl with appropriate jumpsuits for the inmates and steven seagal on the
6:54 pm
take that's my stance ok let's move to the next story here there is an obama clock that's right now in jockeying for the position with the national geographic's world atlas to make the best seller list on app stores references so basically what it gives you here is it gives you obama's approval popularity and also gives you the u.s. unemployment rate the gasoline price index housing values the national debt and we have out of time remaining until the next presidential inauguration even a little a little countdown of what to look at all the time but i think it's you know the thing is one thing they couldn't put on there was the obama job destruction counter because it needed to spin so fast and crash the i phone. which is not actually true yeah i'm going to try to make it a prize no there's no job creation i can agree with you there but tell me about the job destruction with obama hopefully you already the jobs are actually laws before
6:55 pm
obama got into office what do you know is the comparison counter for the jobs lost and the way things went downhill obama his predecessor what they need is a side by side of obama jobs created versus rick perry jobs created i know you love rick perry he's not half the jobs created in america. got a loving president. that really really scares me and he's going to be the next president but there are a lot of people who are saying perry herman cain that's what they're predicting perry herman cain i like. i go perry bachmann i'll do what you. never how do you know how i feel safe because perry's got a gun and shoot any coyote prowling around the way those grounds and then i'll go you know jacqueline ok now with steven seagal to what he would you know steven seagal i'm willing to bet he's anti steven seagal yeah right. thank you very very love stephen so i'll just have to call him up and ask him ok through what was going on in london obviously we've been providing you with a lot of coverage of some of the harsh sentences that have been handed down after
6:56 pm
the riots that we saw there but i think that this one might take the cake this is an eleven year old getting punished take a look sentencing him just a few moments ago the district judge said i'm very concerned about what i read you think you can behave the way you want to behave everybody else has to put up with it you need to understand you can't get away with committing offenses of this nature and he sentenced him to use rehabilitation a lot of eighteen months eighteen months now if you're wondering what offenses of this nature are he stole a waste bin or a garbage bin as we would see here in america eighteen months in a juvenile center because offenses are that great that he stole of everything this is absolutely ridiculous and i know that your show has been covering a number of the things that have been going on but this is on top of the guy who started a facebook page for an event that never happened and got three years behind bars a twenty one twenty one year old and twenty two year old this is on top of a kid who got three years behind bars for stealing what i case of water i think it
6:57 pm
gets really really bad when you start trying to make examples out of people and not in the justice and justice should be just i think that this country is a very good example of how to try to make example examples of people by being tough on crime doesn't actually work i think england is an example of how not being tough on crime at all creates eleven year olds you realize this was a kid she's not an honor student little jerk was already on an order for cutting a bus seat trying to set it on fire then when the bus driver told him. when the bus driver told him to stop he threw a rock at a window kicked the window out and jumped out while the bus was driving oh so we finally. did nothing the owners is probably getting therapy. and cookies while some therapist rubs his little head. it means being on set i got it i got her it's an hour i got a rousing up you guys i'm sorry but that's all the time we have out there for nights out thanks for joining us thanks for the come back tomorrow former louisiana governor and republican presidential candidate buddy roemer is going to be on the
6:58 pm
