all right you can stand at the jefferson memorial but the cops are allowed to do that out of the street new york is just disgusting if you can just me. like the most awesome lives you know what was that last video of the guy having sex on the top of his call i think never getting fired is what really couldn't believe. i did drugs to get the sentiment in this case the law doesn't apply to tase people everywhere people like it often and honestly if you're a cop you're clearly old enough to go to a strip club and get a lack dance you really need to do this in the street during a fast i mean they're like sixth graders at their first like school then they can hardly contain themselves i mean i'm all for dancing but i just think it's a little not just the answer that when you were sixth grade have a lot of the kind of action going on yeah and it where you can either show they

were like i'm hearing walk around to be like no no no no no no yeah north carolina we had you know it was a hand between putting up with the fast songs or for a slow songs when everybody stands at least a foot apart a just doing this if you want to be close fast around the little kids you know how to bump and grind telling you. to take away from it. they learn so young. they get to watch you know theone thing and they just ok. trying to rationalize that so speaking. of things that maybe you should be happening there is a pink visual it's a company and they've decided they're going to build a massive underground bunker because there are so many stories out there are so many warnings of course about the possible apocalypse come apocalypse coming at the end or just in two thousand and twelve i'm not quite sure what that is and so there's and they're going to build a massive corn bunker this is what you can expect there multiple bars fully stocked

with premium lakers a sophisticated content production studio because this is horn after all and operational microbrewery and dance cages which is i believe what we're seeing right there complete with a load. stripper poles economical use of the available space is an important bearing consideration here i'm not quite sure the layering really specify that these stripper poles are going to be functional part of the circular altar library had a load of the ceiling yet right there holding it up i get it but i love their attitude their like you know it even if the end of the world doesn't happen at least we have a corner place to film. yeah yeah i'm clearly disturbed by the fact that there is so i think that if the apocalypse does happen we all need you know high quality porn those of us who survived i just never know who you might have to survive with and you know how to sleep with in order to keep the race going so you might need a little pouring out of your wrist about the porn production into proximity to microbrew production like i don't really want my beer in my play or made in the

same building i think i think it's a look at building it out of it just to show you it is you know you don't want that sort of. i guess but most old cars fully stocked with premium liquors like i wonder how long it's going to last long as you mean multiply you know fully stocked oh yeah i mean there are some issues with this obviously they've thought about all the fun out facts but i don't know how they're going to feed themselves which is ok we're going to do the world happens at least we'll have more and you will be the last reaching party in that bunker. to come we'll bump are going to go there with the rest of us but i guess you know if the router ever happens we just get to go to the porn but very well. now toyota has been doing this campaign it's called your other you and i guess the idea here is that they really want to be cool and be like ashton kutcher and prank people take a look at a commercial for. i

really don't get but boy this is a wide toyota wants to be in all that it's like this picks and be crazy and her five days go totally torture your friends and then calls or text messages and call them a nonstop but it happens to people that don't want this to happen woman a member do it who sued because of this intrusive campaign because she never signed out of nearly somebody else signed her up for it and then she had some guy who had her home address tell her he was on the lam from the law he needed a crash at her place to hide out for a bit with his pit bull trigger when she got a call from a hotel they had a drinking problem she had to pay the bill and so she was trying to sue toyota and they were trying to tell her that she couldn't sue them because at some point in

time down the line she had clicked yes i can receive promotional materials from toyota not was what they tried to use in court but luckily a judge said no. yes would you ever sign up your friends for this i absolutely would yes i definitely do that's really what i think this is the most ridiculous campaign ever however i will not go on the record. so i don't so if you're already signed up for a job well that's triggers coming to your door to worry about it my question is ok so you make somebody miserable for five days and then they say i'm going to go buy a toyota again what's the connection my dreams are i don't get to see what they're getting out of it nothing says i need a new toyota like i hate my friend and i want to murder them i will then buy a car to run them over with all that i know it already but i don't want to gas mileage yes your prices are going to wrap it up thanks for joining me tonight at night so thanks for tuning it makes me come back tomorrow same school of us close to the bottom line is going to be on the shelf in the meantime to get to my fantasy

with my next concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report on our cheap. download the official t. on vacation q i phone the i pod touch from the top story. which i'll see life on the go. video on demand policies mindful of costs and r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. question on the call to calm. more news today violence is once again fled up the phone these are the images the

world is seeing from the streets of canada. shanghai for asians are today. what the games begin and the sixty sixth session of the u.n. general assembly is officially underway so who will steal the show and what will dominate the headlines we'll unveil what to expect from this year's meeting. it's a bird it's a plane no it's the first meeting of the congressional super committee so will these lawmakers use their powers to defeat america's kryptonite or is the defense budget simply invincible. not all muslims are terrorists or terrorists or muslims and without the rise of american islamophobia so if osama bin ladin is out of the way and the u.s. military spending more than ever closer for either of the big bad muslim man.

it's tuesday september thirteenth seven pm in washington d.c. i'm christine retching r.t. well the sixty sixth session of the u.n. general assembly may have officially kicked off today but all eyes are focused on next week and the prospect of a real diplomatic crisis over the palestinian bid for statehood is expected to steal the show so we thought i would be good to talk about what we can expect next week what and who will dominate the headlines of course r.t. will be on the ground with exclusive coverage of the news that shaking up the world as well as those stories that will remain underneath the mainstream media radar but for a quick preview i'm joined by r.t. senior producer lucy cash and our viewer in studio you know lucy i want to talk a lot about some of the different aspects of this we cover this every year but this

year looks like some actual news could come out of it all eyes around the world i think it's safe to say will be on this palestinian bid for statehood and there are so many layers to this when you break this down for us it is kind of complicated but the. exciting to actually have some real diplomatic stuff to cover and. different from the usual sort of preachy boring speeches that we seem to get out of the assembly essentially with the us middle east peace process the israeli palestinian middle east peace process seemingly at a standstill which we've seen to the detriment i guess of the of the obama administration the palestinians have decided to use what literal little leverage they have in their eyes to appeal to the united nations in their bid for an independent state now the united nations cannot obviously grants the palestinians the territories that they want in the west bank and gaza with these two semester capital but what the u.n. can do is essentially recognize new country as a full fledged member state now the way this process works of the palestinians would have to go to the u.n.

security council in order to get that kind of recognition of one who is on the security council of course it is the united states and the obama administration has been very very clear in saying that they're going to veto that effort but then the palestinian doesn't end there what they can then do is go to the general assembly where all you need is a simple majority to pass which they are expected to get and what they'll be able to gain from that is sort of switch from the. a member observing entity which is what they are officially called right now to a non member observing states kind of like what the vatican is for example and what does that well it's a little bit more than just symbolism it would allow them to sign on to certain international bodies like for example the international criminal court which for obvious reasons is not something that the israelis want to see happen right and regarding the u.s. i mean i think it's interesting that you say the u.s. is doing a lot to make sure that this doesn't happen but this is a little bit different from what we start president obama say just last year take

a listen to that when we come here next year we can have an agreement that will lead to a new member of the united nations an independent sovereign state of palestine living in peace with israel. so things have changed well they've changed but of course the obama administration has been very very. strong on trying to back away from the president's comments it's funny that you played that specific sound bite because that's actually what the palestinians are using in a new ad they just released to try to goose the more international support for their bid the white house position has and unfortunately for the palestinians from their perspective has always remained the same they want the negotiations between the palestinians and between israel they claim that this unilateral approach by palestine to seek recognition through the united nations will up and the entire process and will completely stall negotiations and that is because that would really really isolate the u.s. they cannot turn against our ally israel and as we've seen we even though saudi

arabian officials are now saying that americans are really isolating themselves by taking this position one of the other things of course we've got to bring up is what we've seen this year which is the arab spring and how much it has shaken up sort of the order of the world we have of course seen the fall of some readers and the rise of new ones talk a little bit about that but i think one of the biggest powers to launch next week is to see what will happen with turkey and we've seen the turkish prime minister tayyip erdogan really flexing his country's muscle in the region right now he's on a so-called arab spring state tour he spoke before the arab league today where he in the strongest really really strong terms condemned the world stance towards the palestinian issue really supporting the palestinian bid for statehood and that is really again a really worrisome development for the u.s. and israel turkey of course is a nato member they really are ramping up their power and it's effect in that region they have expelled the israeli ambassador to that country they've threatened to

send warships armed warships to protect any more aid convoys to the gaza strip so it really remains to see whether this kind of i guess bellicose attitude. will translate to the debate next week and just briefly loosely we can't not talk about iran every year mahmoud ahmadinejad. seems to make a big splash what do you do expect to see the same thing again yeah you know it's interesting because now we actually have some other stuff to cover other than the usual neo cons coming out and flipping out about potential threat that ahmadinejad poses to the country we do see the usual sort of goal boards all eyes on the iranian president's arrival but of course this year some actual diplomatic issues that really really do need to be resolved all right our senior producer lucy cavanagh thanks for doing that and for attending the conference next week i'm sure to find a lot of stuff. i knew says the pentagon gets everything it wants today

a senate panel decided defense spending for next year could only be six hundred thirty billion dollars that's a five hundred thirteen billion dollars base budget and one hundred eighteen billion for us wars abroad that is twenty six billion dollars less than was requested by the pentagon and the president meantime today the u.s. census bureau published data that shows the number of americans living below the poverty line rose to a record forty six point two million people last year take a look you can see that this is the highest number of people basically since the census bureau began tracking poverty figures back in one nine hundred fifty nine now that line on the bottom there is the rate of poverty that's about fifteen percent so that is one in five and a half six americans living with less than eleven thousand one hundred thirty nine dollars for a single person or less than twenty two thousand three hundred fourteen dollars for a family of four now this also happens to be the same day of the first meeting of

the group tasked with cutting at least one point two trillion dollars from the budget deficit over the next two ten years rather than the so-called super committee made up of twelve members of the u.s. congress and the group is supposed to take a look at everything and deciding where to trim when it comes to the military budget there are some heated opinions something very apparent in last night's republican presidential debate. there is no west florida constitution to be the policemen of the world and no nation building just remember george bush won the presidency on that platform in the year two thousand and i still think it's a good plan for living like senator santorum responder's i know you strongly disagree. on your website on nine eleven you had a blog post that said basically blame the united states for nine eleven on your website yesterday you said that it was our actions that brought about the actions

of nine eleven now congressman paul it is irresponsible it president united states running for someone who's running for the president and states the republican party should not be parroting what are some of that money and said you know what. we should have we are we are not. we are not being attacked and we were not attacked because of our actions we were attacked as new talked about because we have a we have a civilization that is an ethical to the civilization of the jots and they want to kill us because of who we are and what we stand for and we stand for american exceptionalism we stand for freedom and opportunity for everybody around the room and i am not ashamed to do that all right certainly some differences of opinion there and i think it merits a closer look to help me do that earlier i spoke to gareth porter an investigative journalist who specializes in covering u.s. national security policy. what santorum said is the official

line of not just the u.s. government but more concretely the national security part of the government because unless you take the position that that the threat of terrorism including nine eleven has nothing to do with u.s. military presence in the middle east or wars that the united states fights on the soil of islamic countries then you're going to have a problem justifying a policy and so what happens here is that within the u.s. government and more broadly as it is essentially spread through news media in this country to the general population we get the general notion that we can't talk about any link between the wars that the united states fights in islamic lands against islamic people and the threat of terrorism when in fact you know it's very very well established that there is such a link and in fact in my article i quoted perhaps the most the most important most

significant official document which represented that linkage which which presented in a front formal way that linkage which was the two thousand and six cia national intelligence estimate on global terrorism what it said was that the u.s. invasion and occupation of iraq had in fact been the biggest single force in building up popular support for jihadism and essentially giving them more and more recruits to carry out terrorism and it went on and on and essentially. actually foreshadowed what has actually happened but we would find out that not only in the islamic countries but in europe and the united states homegrown jihadism will become a serious problem because people respond if they are islamics to this perceived threat to islam and yet when you ask people making the rules when you ask. government officials i know you spoke about it was this nothing new i used talk

about in two thousand and seven one thing that a former state department coroner for counterterror terrorism daniel benjamin gave an entire list of things that the u.s. should do to combat al qaeda and the one thing that he didn't say was pledging that the u.s. would pull out of afghanistan and iraq that's right tell me only i know you caught him tell me a little bit about his answer when you asked him why didn't i think it's hard for during a coffee break shouldn't the u.s. pledge to the islamic world never to do this again and to get out of islamic countries with our military force is the most important thing that should be done because for only a moment he said you're right and then he said but we can't do that and then he said the reason is we would have to explain to the families of the people who died in these wars that they died in vain you know i said fashion important thank you very much i think that's that really really is very important and there are so many people who know someone who was lost in these wars and that is the one thing they

fear most yes but that's not the real reason well and by the way mr benjamin then went back to the state department as counterterrorism coordinator and he's been doing that during the obama administration so he was clearly still part of the us when he made that speech and the important thing is that he did not contest my point but through this clearly a cause and effect the link between these u.s. wars on islamic territory and continued killing of civilians particularly in the islamic countries and the continued support for jihadism very very strong support for jihadism throughout the middle east and even in the united states as we know i mentioned a little earlier that today was also the first meeting of the super committee on capitol hill. twelve it's mostly bipartisan twelve people charged with cutting spending one point two trillion dollars in the next ten years the military budget is a tough sell for a lot of people i think that. senator jon kyl from arizona even said he would quit

the committee if this was proposed this was put on the table talk about some of the challenges when we look you know it's one thing to say the military budget not off the table and it's another thing entirely to actually cut serious money from the point that i would make is that what we saw in play in the republican debate between ron paul runs from forum rick santorum excuse me and the politics will super committee are the same politics essentially it's really a fundamental divide between those people who are. essentially have tied their careers to one of two sorts of political forces either the israeli lobby or the arms lobby in this country these are the two most powerful groups politically in terms of being able to get members of congress to do what they want through the financing of their kind of course of course there is a huge lobbying arm that has to do with defense contract contractors the war industry the people building these weapons are certainly making lots of money they're doing fine in this down economy but i should point out. that material leon

panetta does not accept lobbying money and yet he much different from the tune he's saying back when he was chair of the house budget committee back twenty years ago when he said the time is now to think about cutting military spending now and i want to play you something that he said because he called that this this idea a doomsday mechanism so i play what he is that if it did happen it would result in a further round a very serious cuts across the board. defense cuts that i believe would do real damage to our security our troops and their families and our military's ability to protect the nation so it's not just members of congress who may or may not get lobbying money to fund their campaigns i mean this is the defense secretary going to states members of congress who get campaign money from the from the arms lobby and it's bureaucrats who are whose institutional interests are obviously the same as those of the arms industry that is the state department of defense he has no

credibility he's he's speaking in on behalf of of a of the most powerful concatenation of interest the world has ever known this this alliance of arms lobbyists of people in the military industry on one hand the military services and the civilians who run the department of defense this in fact is the most powerful group of political forces that has ever been assembled in one country and that's why you get a republican party that is almost completely run by people who are beholden to those interests investigative journalist gareth porter great having you there is so much more to talk about we didn't even get to the impact of scary china and what that is having on our defense budget maybe we'll talk about that and then i really want to thank you for joining me today. now look at another way in which we've changed since the attacks of nine eleven it was actually ten years ago today that a man named osama bin laden a muslim was named as the suspect behind the attacks but in many ways the fear of

this one man has morphed into the rise and spread of islamophobia throughout society across the country more than a dozen states have adopted legislation banning shari'a law there's also been countless examples of the f.b.i. infiltrating mosques and systematic entrapment of quote most of the muslim terrorists so is this government leaders same diligent will vigilance or does it illustrate where people seem to revel in the idea of a muslim boogeyman article or spot on associate churkin or takes a look. anti muslim sentiment in the us for we are and suspicion at a peak we are facing the rise of islam or naziism a decade after bin laden became the poster child of evil as the man behind nine eleven and even after his death hate towards the concept of islam has grown increasingly widespread not all muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are

muslims boosted by the media what is the number of of islamic terrorists one percent. i think it's closer to ten percent and politicians like congressman peter king who initiated a special hearing on the threat of homegrown muslim terrorists who actually radicalize within the community the united states proof of anti muslim bias is appointee starting with f.b.i. entrapment who are muslims into considering crimes otherwise would not police provocateur organizing every single aspect and then taping it this has really destroyed the lives of young people and their families in new york you have eleven hundred to talk to any intelligence unit division any to justify their funding just as the department of homeland security needs to justify it's a bribe to straightforward ethnic profiling. muslims. experience of personal harassment no discrimination

in the last year and. just during frenzies surrounding mosque building plans near ground zero or even in tennessee ironically if you go to ground zero and you look around it's all surrounded by a whole lot of trucks almost. like the peddling of myths that shariah law is the legal code of islam are about to be adopted in the u.s. . leading to. being. billed as. the fabric of america where you are roughly seven million muslims live in the us yet many americans have never had any real encounters with the community i grew up in the northern midwest and anybody who tried to say that mexicans were going to take our jobs would have to

confront the fact that really there were no mexicans living where we lived and that's kind of the same thing here regardless of this argument. it's escalated to a point we're i think in many ways it's good because it allows people to see how raw the bigotry really is. their fear has also helped distract attention from frightening issues at home so there is a very serious economic crisis and we think that is the most and focus is really scapegoating and provided to us with public support for wars throughout the muslim world we've been attacking muslim countries like they're going out of style for the last ten years the united states has really positioned itself with all these all of its involvement in afghanistan iraq and yemen somalia libya for blowback post nine eleven islamophobia in the u.s. is similar to anti japanese sentiment after pearl harbor but they're not going to term it helps to be the muslim community feels like it's under siege with even

a prayer at the mosque and likely under someone's watchful eye is that the target party you are so i think has merit a deeper look into the notion of islamophobia in america today and to help me take a deeper look i'm joined now by carol swain professor of political science and law of better university in nashville tennessee carroll is also the author of the the people call to reclaim america's faith and promise and here in studio i have him on the always moves on director of the masjid islamic center here in washington d.c. thank you both for being here and let's just start with the report that we just saw in the end our correspondent on a saucer turkana makes the comparison of islamophobia to anti japanese sentiment after pearl harbor some have also compared it to mccarthyism in mom i'll start with you do you think of is a fair comparison. this is more like there is a. german.
