i think you understand it and then you did something else here's some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm charged welcomes a big issue. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right here. i think iraq even when the well. we never got the book says they're going to keep you safe get ready because you give them the freedom.

for. fear. they'll. have time for showing talent and i program now last time we told you about a staggering numbers on american poverty from the census bureau over forty six million people are now living below the poverty line ellis has no doubt shed light on a growing problem in our country but i want any real solutions that's going to produce a patrice and a sunday to find out what you have to say. and june two thousand and nine the

recession officially ended according to the business cycle died in committee of the national bureau of economic research and tactically we keep hearing now we're in a recovery stage but try telling not to the two point six million more people that fell into poverty last year we learned this week that in twenty two and poverty in america grew to the highest number since the census began measuring fifty two years ago these are the numbers last year forty six point two million lived in poverty we never had forty six point two million people in this situation before twenty two point five million of those were in deep poverty earning around eleven thousand dollars and eighty six million did not even work the line of the week out of the whole year oh and don't forget in august there was zero job growth in america zero excuse me but does anyone in washington get it congress in the meantime is only looking at a budget cuts and figuring over jobs bills a recent post to wait around and see how much things are going to get worse this

year it's too bad so many people have to suffer so politicians in washington can't deny that average americans are just slipping down an economic black hole so after all the talk out of washington we want to know what you thought could be done to turn around this economy and what we heard sounds like an economic policy as good as any we've heard so far first ronnie said and the wars downsize the military and cut subsidies for oil companies second jason holloway told us live high tariffs on imports and bring factory jobs back to america step three jason he think he said bring jobs back home lower gas prices and fix the minimum wage he believes that the minimum wage should be the minimum cost to live not the minimum that a company can pay you it's amazing the kind of commonsense answers you can find from asking common citizens only isn't that who are representatives in washington are supposed to be representing. now as always we thank you for your. sponsors and

here's our next question for you phase the third anniversary of lehman brothers collapsing and triggering the global financial crisis three years on we don't seem to be in better shape and if anything our banks are only bigger so let us know if you think even the government would let another big bank fail you can find us on facebook twitter and you tube and knows your response just might make it on their. spending time on facebook at work you considered a felony could lying about your age or weight on a dating website land you behind bars we're hearing in the senate today by the senate judiciary committee review expanding a lot that could make a lying on the internet just that a felony let me explain here back in one thousand nine hundred six the computer fraud and abuse act was signed into law to deter hacking however throughout the decades legislation for the computer fraud act is expanded to cover a wide range of issues to make any act that quote exceeds authorized access to a computer a violation and a violation clearly is a misdemeanor but the white house is looking to upgrade that penalty to a felony so what exactly is considered exceeding unauthorized access these days

i'll believe it or not that language is so broad that it's pretty much up to whomever is in charge and you know those terms of service boxes they have to accept before you join a side or you purchase something online well if you violate those in the justice department considers that a violation what's even worse if you violate a computer fraud and abuse act you're not just facing trouble from the feds but this law also allows private parties to file civil suits as well and how do you know what's at stake let's focus on the senate judiciary hearing which discussed increasing the penalty of the violation as i said earlier the obama administration is the one that would like to see violators facing felony that's a move the white house wants to tighten controls over the internet for the sake of cybersecurity because a lot of committee members pointed out today the widespread method of violation could cause more trouble than it could good senators al franken and patrick leahy are worried that the current state of the computer fraud act already reaches too far away he was quoted as saying we want you to concentrate on the real cyber crimes and not the minor things and the committee has. gets

a vote on this legislation but one can only hope for the questions about the broad language of the bill could help prevent the government whom over reacting when it comes to computer fraud all the name of fighting hackers anybody remember to protect children from internet pornographers act in two thousand and eleven that's the law which would require i as speeds to keep everyone's internet records along the whole host of other data for up to eighteen months in the name of fighting child porn and this expansion that we just spoke about are starting to remind me a whole lot of that meaning that it is not good. and now it's a back to an operation that was conducted by the f.b.i. almost one year ago on september twenty fourth of two thousand and ten the f.b.i. raided the homes of anti-war activists across the country five minneapolis homes to homes in chicago as well as the office of the antiwar committee were raided and according to the f.b.i. the warrants they had were seeking evidence in support of an ongoing joint terrorism task force investigation and activities concerning the material support of terrorism now today twenty four activists have been targeted all were asked to

appear a grand jury in chicago and all refused but has the f.b.i. droplet case not quite most are actually still waiting to see was going to happen to them all their personal belongings that were taken in those raids including their passports haven't been returned so how do they see it well joining me to discuss it is just an anti-war activist whose home was raided and a member of the committee to stop f.b.i. repression jess i want to thank you so much for joining us tonight and i guess if we can start by going back to almost a year ago on september twenty fourth tell us what happened when your home was raided. well we hit bottom in the morning i was actually below stairs and then i left part of my daughter her down there and we all heard loud banging would be up by a door by the time i came down the stairs my courage out and open the door and but eight f.b.i. agents had burst through the door and began organizing and so through every rumor. they were here for five hours and that if they didn't do everything they would take

a file folder and look through every single kid that was going about with it if there was anything of interest to them it was him about a week seven she's with the years old is absolutely her it was my grandfather's following the path clear earlier that year and i had a boss that hiv positive but women totally in the end they took now many many banks are going to go but the papers that were going to be dead and mostly not work and people are really into might recall work and my international travel they were especially interested in anything related to colombia or power and they didn't touch washington that day but they ended up with myself and my partner you just put me in a job here before a grand jury and prado let's talk about some of your political work than what it is that exactly would have made you a person of interest here you are an anti-war activist have been for a while but specifically when it comes to perhaps material support of terrorist

organizations when colombia and palestine are involved explain to us why you would be suspicious. well the united states government has taken upon it so to create terror a list of terrorist organizations not the objective then that gets you on who are there are. flying planes into buildings is that what we would share it having a different political out with its government and go in many cases by this degree but our government's view about who is a terror that i think that bombing cities over afghanistan and iraq really calls into question their own government places the stuff the question of terrorism that i traveled to colombia more than ten years ago where i'll go to the things i did was probably doing something to run where people were happening with the revolutionary armed forces of one of the groups on the terror that was very public about me and i wrote about it when i return now is very interested in what the

prospects were people. and we now know that in fact it was by working out of one other person in saudi and it was the colombian people that initiated this in the initial the mother spoke with her we're talking to colombia the not very many a few more but not everybody has had the power right and that allowed or believe one of us have taken started a little conflict and instead of that everyone on this side of the conflict there again and for anyone in the united states to do things like publish their statement in newspapers are going to but it's a question of whether or not we even have the right to do that or just somebody but you know this is a we talk about colombia we talk about palestine that's not exactly what we're talking about one we're thinking about our war on terror and al qaida here but do you think that the policies post nine eleven have been used to you know to allow the federal government to come in and to spy on you or to take your belongings not

sense. i think that the right people living inside the united states were severely abridged after nine eleven the first community targeted really heavily with the root the back of the liberty for arabs and muslims especially immigrants and we have thousands of people who were to change were questioned and many who were just boarded on suspicion of relation with terrorist organizations they never had real good at being in court you know people were just automatically back and that was a horrible thing to watch and back many people have been a broken down part of the one going on being but it is for but there are organizations like the holy land foundation which was the good the biggest local charity in this country and supported syndergaard and hospitals and health care centers in the thousand each territory the clinic where hamas was elected government and operating charities there they've done that just to the law but even

if they supported terrorism but has acted in interrupt you really quickly because we only have a minute left but i want to nelson now it's been almost a year you decided not to go to the grand jury and what's happened as any of your belongings been returned you have any idea what's going on with this case what might happen to you. it's really difficult to proceed to the grand jury secret the latest word that we have from the prosecutors is that they are still speaking look we're diamonds but they may be good are the one with the diamonds they may be told if i'm right but the way we believe that bum number of the twenty four targeted activists are going to be told that we're facing criminal charges i mean most of our property had been returned in my case my awkward and my mother is there and i want to go to the first the real the bride and i had to apply to the prosecutor to have my pack work it let me have it or one month and i have to return it when i got back and so that i believe that i'm definitely still the target of

this eight and we believe that it's really just a question of how many people and when we're going to be taking a criminal case are well he's looking at it here jacki thanks so much there for joining us tonight. thank you my. now we come back that they are hungry german couple thinking fame full time when it's that had a happy hour it is tell me that robertson finally lost that plus the japanese lover robots strike again that innocent. into that american military mechanisms to do the work how to bring justice for accountability. i have every right to know what my government should do if you want to know why i paid taxes. but i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you

know sometimes you see a story and it seems so it's more likely you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here sees some other part of it and realize that everything you say you don't charge welcomes the big picture. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right. i think the bombings one well. whenever the government says they're going to keep you safe get ready to defend the your freedom.

for fear. night school time avoidance night i goes to the lobby yes the fame hungry cowboys journeyed their way into yet another p.r. stunt now if you aren't familiar with them the d.c.

area couple known as the white house party crashers they're accused of crashing president obama's first state dinner back in two thousand and nine and causing a media circus the white house party crashers what was your reaction when you saw the headlines devastated there is sadness either why why did the sharks devastated. we knew. the facts which with time you know our side of the story and everything will be heard now all this a lot he's we're happy to tell their story to n.b.c.'s the today show after the story broke when they were called the capitol hill to testify before congress they refused to answer questions on the grounds that it might incriminate them but i have to stop this a lot from using the white house party crashers label to seek fame and fortune. in my life.

that's right the couple took part in the bravo series real housewives of d c and that series was the fifth installment of the real housewives series but the d.c. season was a total blast bad ratings will force bravo to cancel the show after just one season though since that time there's a lot he's continued their quest for fame and the same time inflicted it's a major major pain on america especially make aimless a la you and her times and music career. ok in hindsight we always had a war and you turned on your t.v. with or you played back sorry but now that you have the back story of his life he is just passed board yesterday local news stations here in washington began reporting on mckayla salon he was missing her husband went on t.v.

crying asking for help in finding his wife and naturally everybody thought this was a p.r. stunt turns out make a left her husband ran into the open arms of another man. tricks along he saw his walk mckayla was missing big drama for the salon he's folks he got on the phone called police said she may have been kidnapped but the sheriff's department says she left on her own with a good way of d.m.z. even saying that's good fred is journey guitarist we'll show you advised she did not want mr starr you know where she would. then know where you. hang out with a very famous eighty's guitarist mchale philosophy was longtime friends with the members of journey. you know i actually feel sad for us n.b.c. fox and c.n.n. the fact that i've made it on a national cable news network that was covered for hours yesterday it's just appalling this is the best the local news story i'm not even sure belongs on local

news i think the right will help but this ego driven couple seems to know how to play the media for coverage or that reason we're giving tarik and mikhail is a lot we are told on board and while we're at it we're going to toss in the mainstream media for covering that crap. are it's time for happy hour and joining me tonight is artie web writer andrew blake and alex sites while reporter and blogger for think progress dot org thank you for joining me gentlemen ok so we're going to start our story over in france this evening as we know you're wrong and you just say offensive things and get away with it in france apparently as we all learned from the john galliano incident. i think it's common to come in here and give us a second i thought you guys. were like you do it yeah.

ok he was actually found guilty what was the last week or two weeks ago but now france is dealing with other major controversy they have removed and this is a you know i phone app called jew or not jew which identifies whether or not french politicians and celebrities are jewish and apparently they have a french law that it violated which outlaws the identification of an individual's religion without their consent or the compiling of information about religious beliefs don't you think you are not a jew after we have been here in america not only in france and i hope. to my time . of hanukkah song which i think sort of got at the same thing when he listed all the celebrities that are jewish but i mean you know i think it out maybe

a little bit too far but more and more of him in the french law that you're not allowed to do this kind of thing seems like it would totally not fly in the states told violation of first i mean we i mean no matter what you think of it saying things like well you know what john galliano said was offensive and you can call it disgusting but the fact that you can actually get in trouble for saying that in a public space you just reminds you about how we actually do have free speech here and you can say offensive and horrible things and i actually have to you know go to court and pay money for it paper fines and maybe even go to jail which is just completely continues to boggle my mind about you guys. i mean you discover that same crap when you talk about the mainstream media circus or you have some freedoms over here as well and very some very clearly my viewers like it when i say crap too so just. because i'm curious and worried or. ok let's move on to you to another country that everything. stops amazing me japan they have the first robot to take part in a triathlon take a look. even you could try cycling group by two of the company's evil to paraphrase

seven for this the morning on attempt to run twenty four i was there in the historical moment so i could influence it just before. the twenty four. to choose from the summit workers room apparently oblivious to this that you can't just kept on doing. i love to drive british humor the robotic nearly oblivious to it and even just kept on going even breaking robot i think that kind of you know takes me explaining out of it the whole point if you want to try apple on like this is this incredible physical feat you train for for months you know i can't even imagine the emotions of completing something like that let alone winning and a robot but there's not any difference but something seems fishy because. comes out of japan and they're sending it over to enter the iron man competition in honolulu you remember the last time the japanese just showed up in hawaii. didn't work out well and then the last time they tried taking over america is when they sent over

here and he tried he broke a hot dog record we gave him joey chestnut and i have a feeling that we're going to figure out a we tribute show you once again i'm not concerned about the safety of america but you know you think that they're there to pay and i mean there are there. are going to be some horrible dangerous things that yeah. yeah you know there's no use robots i mean maybe down the road but this robots a little unintimidating but i'm slowly going on the page with you on the marathon thing i said look the robots do it everyone talks about how robots will do the jobs that humans don't want to do i do not want to run marathons so i say let the robots have the marathons they can have one hundred mile bike ride but it's all about that ok well you know the point there i mean i would never want to do a marathon or a triathlon i guess that makes me a lazy horrible human being but it just does not sound like a like an achievement i would want to train for it sounds like a miserable miserable experience so sure letter about syria but i think still plenty of people wanted you to know and now let's talk about pat robertson our favorite televangelist who says you know crazy bigoted stuff all the time this time

some people actually think he may have taken it a little bit too far take a listen. i have and his wife suffers from all simers she doesn't even recognize him anymore and as you can imagine the marriage has been rough by francis got bitter at god for allowing his wife to be of that condition and now he started seeing another woman he says that he should be allowed to see other people because his wife as he knows her is gone and i'm quite sure what to tell him please help what he says basically is correct but i know it's cruel but he's a looser and he should divorce are in store for good. now i think you should be able to divorce whoever you want raving you can do whatever you want but it's just funny to hers some of these christian religious zealots who go on about how you have to abide by a marriage only being between one man and one woman what about the old that you know till death do you part i love you and think nothing and help are there just

kind of flies out the window yes. yes you have marriage there i mean you know gay people can't get married because it'll somehow degrade the institution of marriage but you know if your spouse isn't so good anymore doesn't remember you could have a career of alzheimer's they're dead anyway everything is ready to go and you just added to the list of groups that are just things don't care if the jews in the family here is there now you have people yeah ok get rid of them to. now let's talk about ok first we're going to play you a clip and this happened i think last weekend during a ceremony for september eleventh and then i'll explain let's take a look. i. feel. you're. ok so that somehow michelle obama whispering to her rock became some like great we need the everyone thought

she said off at the plank and then cox knew the even picked up on it is a ridiculous thing and so this week the obama campaign launched a new front with some a web site called attack watch and they asked people to send in submissions of what obama supporters deemed to be unfair untruthful media attacks on the president we think it's a letter good idea attack watch people like it they have a hundred thousand users there are far enough i signed up because they said i'd get a free i pod to have. the i pod come free loaded with all the attacks on obama and the better i had to go through so many surveys to get the hoax. i mean there's clearly a need for this like the clip you played if you go on it but there's a bunch of websites consider web sites that are running polls down and you can guess what michelle obama said and they're all like you know all this for the terrible flagger down with the flag of the united states and it's like i don't think she says what she can be like coming time and i'm hungry and you have no idea where that damn flag really quickly we have our last story so american apparel held

a contest because they've been criticized for having the models they wanted to plus size models of the girl one that she really did it all as a ploy and then she had her friends take pictures of her like eating waffles and nasty chicken and how they spared her every title and those are the pictures. kind of like what did you say. but i mean i don't know i think she should have i think american version of gone with that they're supposed to be this like counterculture all cool hip thing and they came to the side yes now they've given themselves away they're like you with a waffle you're fired american experience of hero exploiting someone that's their thing good for them there's still their clothes as often as i can but there's sticking to what they know best supporting people i think they went ahead and call that. disgusting too so i'm going to go american apparel always winning ari thanks guys for joining me tonight so that's it for tonight's show thanks for tuning in make sure he comes back tomorrow for me time to look for the fan of the lower show on facebook and follow us on twitter and if you missed any of the night's show or any other nights it was packed all you tube dot com slash below the show coming up
