six to ten am eastern time on channel twenty eight welcome let's get this thing rolling. that makes it official zero net new jobs this was the report that came out today or yesterday however there's there's a nuance to that there we actually created seventeen thousand jobs in the private sector the private there's this myth making this the eighteenth consecutive month that we have been creating jobs in the private sector but seventeen thousand government jobs i almost all of them in red states republican governors and not most of them teachers actually seventeen thousand government jobs vanished and we've seen this month after month after month in fact we've got a. chart here someplace here it is right here this shows the cumulative job growth since the stimulus act private sector versus government sector the government sector is the red line which is falling off of the than private sectors the blueline private sector seems to be doing fine government sectors falling apart so

why are the republicans so busy laying off public sector people while the economy's trying to create jobs i don't think anyone would say the private sector is doing fine it's not a significant number of jobs or that ok certainly there is a recovery the fact of the matter is when you buy a ministration path that stimulus bill that used all christina romer used mathematics as web one point one point so dollars in the economy doing this way and they said it unemployment wouldn't rise above eight percent it went up to ten percent if that nine point one percent the obama economic program has not done well it's failed and going into an election year when they want to have a place we were losing eight hundred thousand jobs a month we've had eight i mean i'm not i'm only i'm only using their metric to do some good to to to describe if they failed by their own standards they have a failed resident never said that that was one of those lies or stray ship that we saw that was a press conference they say is economic go as a goal you know. it wouldn't rise above eight percent one to ten percent at this

point if i was the president to go back to eight hundred thousand jobs and he doesn't want to go back eight hundred thousand jobs a month as we reason he hasn't mentioned it and that's what their game is let's let's understand you ask the question why are they going after public sector jobs because they're trying to make teachers unprofessional so that they can go after their salaries look at every republican. on these programs that are out there in congress they haven't their number one job and don't let america forget this is to make obama fail they have not been a deuce of a single damn job at all they have taken for example congressional black caucus has introduced forty job creation bills guess what having gotten out of committee so i think what's going to happen this is going to slap on in the face come next to this this election term because people are suffering and they're going to remember that it the president set a goal at least he's trying they're introducing job creation bills and what you've

got is a party that is been the obstruction is all you have to ask them is what is their job creations bill why is the public policy bills that create jobs they don't have solicit what's the working class it. being as is and then surely you know like that perhaps that is that the public sector is going to pass out of private sector and if we're trying to hide government spending that's going to be people trust me it's not the best thing you don't want people to lose jobs but at this point every single thing that is the a president or a loser like selection sure you do. you put with the republicans can pass a jobs creation bill this time around me but i cannot raise revenue or you know you know this. is a matter of it's a matter of message and this is noise the president has to drive already it's the president passed his job creation bill it's called the economic stimulus and it didn't work it's not worth its. you see how they change the argument then i say the

republicans can introduce the jobs creation bill if you put a job creation bill out there and you can get they have said they would play and what is it's to reduce regulations on the economy all night and i. mean like a bank like you describe but joe if you know for a minute don't do it insurable but you know i think you know as well as i think show that a democrat if you gives you this all you may you want to joke with me that does not think that it matters you do that the democrats controlled the senate and the presidency if you are probably going to introduce their own bill but it would pass if you use me issue number two the banks and ethical as they can be described jack didn't and we were just that guy jerry that's irrelevant to the second question first i'd like to i'd like to continue with this issue of republicans democrats and politics in two weeks funding for the f.a.a. is going to run out again we saw the f.a.a. workers eighty thousand contractors four thousand employees being held hostage so

far not a single republican held hostage right my with my words. so far not a single republican is going to point to a conference committee by by the republican leadership kind of suggesting that they intend to do the same thing all over again. and then there's another hostage taking that may be coming up and that is that the federal gasoline tax which is always been rolled over i mean going back to eisenhower you just you know you renew that thing it pays for one eight million people to do road repair one point eight million jobs and the republicans are talking about let's end that gas tax and give everybody a tax break are we going to see in september a repeat of what we saw in august and if we could deal i would say the republican congress would say we'll pass the bill as you want it they want to pass a version of bill just less money over a certain period time but let's pass a democrat let's pass the democrats' bill for construction of roads so long as the democrats are. but paul ryan budget that will get our long term entitlement under

control i'm not going to go for it why me how should i go forward are we supposed to be putting people to work not cutting deals so that ryan get is bill through to protect their wealth in this country excuse me you know we need to we need to excuse me we need to see our highways in our roads because they do what they improve commerce isn't that what eisenhower did when he created the interstate i happened to be around lou younger than you are at this time where he created this substantial number of jobs but most important are who benefit the wealthy the businesspeople because it improves commerce that's what we need to do you're absolutely right we need to do it and you don't have to cut a deal to save jobs and create jobs is most important about it keep him from having to go to minus to get his appearing on his car i'd like to get at least i know this i'm curious your thoughts on this is it your sense that the republicans are going to say no to the gas tax and are going to say you know. are we going to syria peter

what we saw in august you know i think so and i think the reason is because republicans they're hearing from their constituents they want to fight they don't like when the publicans are all over and the pain is is there are important things that should not be cut there are also a lot of things that need to be cut and that's where the deals have to happen if you want to keep this this transportation bill and you know keep the gas tax than they need to cut somewhere else because the government is is spending way more than it's taking on and that's that's the bottom line is it was fine to spend under bush and it was fine to spend it with a different with different situation i don't listen to those who have a lot of it i think. congressman joe walsh the guy who doesn't pay his child support. he says he's boycotting the president's jobs for this speech this week he also asked his constituents on wednesday how idiotic is this president and then

today i was some to see he had this to say. you said in the past that mr obama would never have been elected if he wasn't black and you say liberals here where in life with him being a black man you say it's liberals see the president through his race how do you see him are you color blind you know he i here's what i think i think that we'll i think i do my best to be colorblind martin and i and again not knowing you i'm sure you do as well here's what i think i think we elected this president because a fool he was he was a historic figure it made this country feel good to elect him we did not vet him you're perfect and in addition to comments like this john boehner made history of this week by denying the presidential request first time since i mean that even since george washington nobody denied george washington. presidential requests for a joint session of congress no other president has been asked to release his birth

certificate no other president has been called a liar by a supreme court justice in front of the state of the union address no other president has been called a liar by a son a congressman during a joint session of congress why conservatism barked out a pattern of disrespect toward president obama i think what george was doing was showmanship and i don't think you should skip the president's speech but the whole litany of things that you just listed what he was doing he was saying that president obama was elected because it was very good and spears of it presents nature of being showmanship and ignoring the point what do you mean. you did you just ignored the point by point of the discussion he was about you know is about you mean because i mean he would also argue also that you've got a republican chairman in south carolina who referred to michelle obama as the relative of a chimpanzee that experience zoo i mean you're very new. to the chairman of the state i'm telling you that you also had a republican congressman referred to iraq obama as a tar baby i'm telling you you've got tea party people walking around with signs

that have runs the. and you call him an african witch doctor the stuff that you just listed was mine you could say maybe it is not racist but to sit here and say he only got elected because he was a black hope to get the fact he was president of harvard business review forget the fact he graduated top of his class you know i don't think you guys sitting here has those kinds of academic credentials forget the fact that this man debated all of the candidates including the republicans in and showed his intelligence he was vetted all right well he was vetted to the point that even on the day that he had to sit there and embarrass donald trump who was an embarrassment in a cell he was capturing bin ladin the meaning. of so i mean that was after the election so you can't i mean i was there in the driveway all the as it was before the election i mean the fact of the the matter is the things that you listed different varying degree and you're referring to supreme court racism is not very

very is an insecure samal so it wasn't racist when he said not true under his breath when the the president was attacking the supreme supreme court i'm saying what he listed there buries in the ground i'm saying i'm saying to you that no other president giving a speech before a joint congress has ever had a member of congress be so disrespectful but you call him a lie for the ideas that he's not in this respect it was disrespect of the idea though that you know what the president's face this respect is it's a false title or the president as i did has and has had bush was basically a video which showed him being a sad i don't remember your teenager i don't remember doing president saying his i don't remember any president being caught up cracker. or being looked upon in a race is the way it's not being on in the congress it's not happening. just ronald excuse me did i not just say we had

a congressman who referred to him as. tar baby well that's actually wrong but the idea that these are going to hamper your sneer suggesting that this is a prevalent thing within the republican caucus does not happen say that you know you know america well they're ok we saw your thoughts because i was why i will say that actually in one thousand nine hundred six president reagan did ask for a house session or to speak to the house and tip o'neill did deny him and he said he was disappointed but it didn't and beyond that beyond that and actually you know i hate to say it but i'm going to agree that there has been some disrespect at the presidency and i think that this decision or this discussion between boehner and obama should have happened behind closed doors and i think there are some things that are politicizing it like one of the things that's happening this week is. a bunch of nascar drivers were invited to the white house and five of them saying we don't know if it's because of other commitments or i would hope that it's not political but you know i think

a white house invite is always prestigious and that's really all i had was a nascar race drivers you know a good man's car truck. for federal no i didn't know that that's true ok we have a lot of. these. staffers who speaker john boehner. brought up at us news and world report he said i'm curious what governor perry and his fans think about the constitution of the confederate states of america if you subtract the slavery bits as far as perry is concerned what's not to like and then you go through i actually read the constitution of the confederate states of america today i thought this is interesting it carries again social security and medicare the cost to the c.s.a. constitution forbids such things as no general welfare clause it also forbids any quote for any internal improvement in tend to facilitate commerce and i was no no

infrastructure construction. it our laws tariffs mandates free trade is the president why not a veto these are all things that rick perry is asked for i think is pretty much all the things that all the republicans well. i can assure you that rick perry has never once read the confederate states of america i mean i do car insurance just for everything that senator supposed to be on this i mean there's plenty of people . had a lot of problems pushing his agenda through through congress who through the supreme court at the time remember they were voting down his proposals because they thought they were unconstitutional you don't have to go to the confederate states of america i think certain programs might be unconstitutional and i'm using it as sure sitting here the. constitution i read everything i well maybe that's what he's saying and then maybe i'll agree with you for the first time i really have an i i've done and i take it you know it's always. right and you know i read it for the republicans as the person the people that wrote and wrote the

confederate states on that note what i'm yes what i'm referring to is that i think there is tremendous similarities in their season and their attitude we said here is that this is not the same news that he wanted this week from the nation i mean if that's not confederacy i don't know what is and of course now that he's running for president was all just a big joke i'm sorry this is completely historical there are plenty of republicans opposing these programs in the one nine hundred thirty s. mainly from the north who had nothing to do with the confederate states of america just to make the suggestion that perry's playbook is the confederate states of america is only the only only two tied him to what that stood for which was wrong and disgusting of your. thoughts here as well you know i just think this is kind of a stupid story i mean here's a guy who used to have a job that allows him to be able to be interviewed by somebody and then he uses a loaded word like confederacy and then takes out everything but slavery just to

cover himself i mean i don't understand what this is or yes. former a just just was yes trying to pump him self up in the process of ok let's get to our quick fire question the white house unveiled a new program called we the people that allows anyone to submit ideas or clauses to the white house web site white house that a white house spokesman said that if any idea gets the support of over five thousand people it will be seriously considered by people inside the white house and will digest it down to the point where it might end up on the president's desk so serious question. if you could come up with five thousand votes for an idea to put on the desk of the white house what would it be lisa i'm going to bait you and say to rename rename tell us air point that dick cheney airport you have been going to go in the same vein replace joe biden on the ticket with their training as a calm steady adviser during the last administration so maybe this could help obama . you know or iran says you guys want to. make sure you and colin powell in the

same agree with congolese arises of colin powell as management and watching it is not very very unpopular. and i'm going to do the obvious serious why don't we go i would i was going through that the there be a constitutional amendment this is the corporations are people and money isn't speech and you know what i have to say i am i going to tell you i don't like this because i don't like you know i'm concerned that the koch brothers which is high on my or high because we have all those who you know i mean i can say this as we do it's going to be gamed but we'll see any. jamie weinstein and joe madison thank you all think that you think you have. after the break or is in session in my daily take i'll tell you why this nation desperately needs to bring back the corporate death penalty. that drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions to break through thirty three and me who can you trust no one. who is in view with the global

machinery to see where are we heading state controlled capitalism is called satchels when nobody dares to ask we do our tea question more. for.

we learned this week the wall street needs to lawyer up because the federal housing finance agency is filing suit against more than a dozen of the nation's biggest banks accusing the banks of selling junk mortgage securities to investors which was the trigger of bush's two thousand and eight financial crisis mortgage lending giants fannie mae and freddie mac. for example last more than thirty billion dollars after the banks into buying these piles of mortgage junk and now the government is going to look. but i want to ask you to hold off for just a little bit on filing this lawsuit actually was filed for they going forward with the site because it just so happens i'm holding my own trial against the banks for us tonight as well as a slew of other corporate criminals first up goldman sachs as c.e.o. of goldman sachs lloyd blankfein you were accused of defrauding your customers out of billions of dollars as a certain best a geisha released in april of this year found goldman sachs realized the mortgage market was in decline it took actions to profit from that decline at the expense of

its clients at the same time the firm was betting against the mortgage market as a whole goldman assembled and aggressively marketed to its clients poor quality c.d.o. it actively bet against by taking large short positions in those transactions how to translate that in english goldman sachs lied to its customers so in the massive amounts of junk and they made a fortune betting that those same junk investments they were selling would go bust which of course they did on these charges of defrauding investors and playing a warmer financial crisis that has since cost five million americans their jobs and put twelve million americans in danger of losing their homes the jury finds goldman sachs guilty. next up b.p. as c.e.o. of b.p. tony hayward is a clue accused of gross negligence in the deaths of eleven men and responsible for over forty billion in damages along the gulf coast as a result of an exploding oil rig in the gulf of mexico in april of two thousand and

eleven that official reported to the causes of the b.p. oil spill accuse the corp of nine faults in the run up to the incident and said whether purposeful or not many of the decisions that b.p. and transocean made that increased the risk of the macondo blowout clearly saved those companies significant time and money better management of decision making processes within b.p. and other companies very communication within and between b.p. and its contractors effective train of key engineering and rig personnel would have prevented the macondo incident b.p.'s decision to cut corners led to the deaths of eleven men and irreparable destruction of the coastlines of several states along the gulf for those crimes the jury finds b.p. guilty the next corporate defendant is big tobacco as c.e.o. of r.j. are for example who gerster you in the rest of your big tobacco c.e.o.'s are accused of lying to congress even though you've killed more americans than been widened did that's not why you're facing charges instead it's because in one

thousand nine hundred four you guys were called before congress to testify and whether or not your product was addicted elide right through your teeth if you had video evidence to support it. yes or no you believe nicotine is not addictive i believe nicotine is not addictive your. congressman cigarettes and nicotine clearly do not meet the classic definitions of addiction i don't believe that nicotine or products are addictive. and i believe. i believe that nicotine. and. i believe he is not. the issue that it could be. for the crime of perjury additional. selling one of the deadliest products known to man without a shred of regret the jury finds the tobacco companies guilty and the final corporate defendant general motors several c.e.o.'s of that corporation are accused of manslaughter in the deaths of over eight hundred people between one nine hundred

seventy three and two thousand as a result of defective fuel tanks installed in general motors vehicles the sidesaddle fuel tanks were known to explode in minor car accidents and general motors did nothing to address the problem and instead covered it up it would have taken only it would have only cost the company eight bucks to make the fuel tank safer as court documents later showed after an internal cost benefit analysis was done the corporation to germany would actually save money by simply paying out legal claims to the families of people who died when their gas tanks exploded like b.p. the c.e.o. is a g a general motors chose profits over safety as a result of exploding gas tanks killed nearly two thousand people or so on the charge of manslaughter the jury finds general motors guilty so now that we've determined all these corporations are guilty it's time to send some people to jail right well unfortunately corporate criminals no longer get punished in america even the corporations much less the people even though the supreme court has ruled that

corporations are people and have access to the bill of rights for some reason they can't face the same punishment for crimes that you and i would all these fraudsters liars killers corporate killers get off scot free in some cases only tossing a few crumbs of cash to the devastated families whose loved ones were killed for having a company cut a small check to the government and then it's right back to business as usual. it's a tale of two justice systems and it's yet another consequence of corporate personhood that i document my book on equal protection if an auto repair man knowingly rigs a car to explode and a driver was killed in that auto repair a man goes to jail for manslaughter or even murder but a g.m. doesn't mean just take or pay a fine if a guy walks into the mall and steals a fifty dollars pair of pants he's going to go to jail for shoplifting if goldman sachs steals fifty million dollars from the state workers pension fund they just

pay a fine but it wasn't always this way in the early decades of our nation our government kept corporations in check with the threat of the corporate death penalty other weapons a lawyer eighteen hundreds governments routinely revoked corporate charters forcing the corporations to immediately liquidate their assets and cease doing business in eight hundred twenty five the state of pennsylvania passed a law that made it much easier for that state to administer the corporate death penalty when as the law stated the operations of the corporation may be injurious to the citizens of the community and to quote by eight hundred seventy nine thousand other states had similar laws on the books and throughout that century oil corporations match manufacturers whiskey trusts and sugar corporations were all given the corporate death penalty for quote operating contrary to the public interest and quote even john rockefeller standard oil was given the death penalty in new york state in one thousand nine hundred four for quote

a pattern of abuses and quote. the point is it's time to start holding corporations accountable again each year the f.b.i. releases a report of all the crime statistics in the nation on how much money was stolen how many people were murdered but oddly corporate crime is never included in those statistics even though far more money is stolen by corporations and far more people are killed every year by corporations and by human criminals enough is enough we know they're guilty now it's time to give corporations like goldman sachs and b.p. and r.j. are the punishment they deserve. off for their corporate heads and that's the big picture for tonight the more information on the stories we covered visit our website the thom hartmann dot com dot org and. also check out our show you tube channels or

i got out of the military in ninety sixty six i got over because of the things i saw the things i was doing and this reasonable step we were given for doing up there was a personal protest. during the vietnam war american war movement emerged that altered the course of history this movement didn't take place on college campuses but in various and on ships penetrated elite military colleges like west point and it spread throughout the battlefields of vietnam yet today few people know about the g.i. movement against the war in vietnam. after the army we always set free the army or fun travel and adventure but it really meant the pilot.
