it portrays pailin in a little more truthful and a little less flattering light just at the box offices but it flops too and made seven thousand dollars nationwide in its opening week so like her or hate or increasingly no one seems to care about sarah palin at least that's what the free markets. and a very very ugly hampshire state representative al belts are. just recently endorsed rick perry for president i think rick perry might want to say thanks but no brains or maybe you off in an interview think progress fell the sorrow weighed in on the controversy surrounding audience members and gay soldier at the last republican debate saying he was disgusted but not of the audience reaction instead because the soldier came out. with. was how. robinson says it was going to.

do i. want to. thank you audie. yeah i thought it was great that the audience booed the soldier for hearing that endorsement i think rick perry might want to say and thanks but no lights or maybe one who knows nowadays in any case it's very clear. coming up about a month ago president obama laid out his jobs plan with the urgent call to congress to pass this bill so why are eric cantor and his g.o.p. buddies not even considering a year and a vote on. what drives the world the fear mongering used by politics. friends who makes decisions

to didn't break through a bit if you had made who can you trust no one will is your own view with a global missionary zeal where we had a state controlled capitalism is called sasha's when nobody dares to ask we do our t. question more.

welcome back to the big picture i'm tom hartman coming up in this half hour house republicans again proved they don't care about creating jobs one prominent right winger called president obama's american jobs act unreasonable and so the house won't even vote up since he was trying to get over twenty million unemployed americans back to work unreasonable and many years ago gandhi had a message for his army of peaceful protestors in dealey take i'll explain how it is words are more relevant than ever today's occupy wall street protests. republican house majority leader eric cantor stuck to the shoe of the president obama's americans jobs act yesterday saying there's no chance that the house of

representatives will even bring the bill to the floor for consideration let alone hassett as a majority of americans want so at the fact that numerous economists and so that the american jobs act will create millions of new american jobs eric cantor called the legislation unreasonable and so the house republicans instead will chop the president's proposal as in the past just. the cuts to federal programs the support for middle income people or cut taxes on rich people and nothing else in response president obama said this. american people don't have the luxury of laden thirteen months while the folks who live and work to make some are living paycheck to paycheck some folks are living day to day they need actual jobs and they need it now they want congress to do what they were elected to do. congress to do their job do your job congress instead of focusing on jobs house republicans are focusing on cutting federal health programs federal education programs and labor programs as

the new york times reported house republicans are laying the groundwork for another battle with president obama over spending and domestic policy when the bill would cut some of his favorite health and education programs to tie the hands of the national labor relations board and eliminate federal grants for planned parenthood clinics it's unclear how many jobs will be created and this is salt against programs that educate our kids and assist with women's health care so how long until eric cantor and the republicans drop their war and planned parenthood and get america back to work rebuilding this country answer that i'm joined by neil mckay editor of the guns and patriots column of human events online now welcome me to talk good to see if you know why do why do i could personalize this to you or but let me generalize this short publicans the house of representatives why do they hate working people and then how long have you been beating your wife well this is seriously i mean it's been two years since they've allowed a single piece of legislation to get through that would actually you know stimulate

the economy in any way or create jobs well i mean the republicans just took over the house recently and they've been trying to but they've been blocking things in the senate for a long time sure and i think what the republicans are trying to do is they're trying to. lessen the burden of taxes lessen the burden of regulations and free up the free economy so that you know in other words take us back to early. time and we had a different tax structure and we had an economy that really worked as there is everything now you're going to set me up for the clinton and bush well no i'm not actually i wasn't going to bill clinton all i was thinking actually dwight eisenhower well i think well that was a pretty high tax rate actually yeah it's like my noise ninety percent ninety percent taxes in that decade saw three point four percent growth for the entire deck you're following decade was three point three percent the sixty's that was the fifty's the sixty's and seventy's was three point one percent and those three decades were the only three decades in the entire three hundred or two hundred thirty year history united states where g.d.p. grew more than three percent for an entire decade continuously and what was the one

thing consistent with those three decades the top tax rate was about fifty percent it was ninety to seventy four percent we were also forgetting that during those period from say one thousand nine hundred seven to one nine hundred sixty seven our share of the worldwide economy was disproportionate because all of our industrial competitors had been bombed back to the stone age not on the world many of them but certainly we did damage to our and so as those economies rebuilt we saw in the seventy's we had built an economy that was sort of set up during this disproportional share of the world economy and is that it is a sort of return to a very nice story neal it's a now actually it's it is an area but it's not true when you actually look at the numbers you see that exports as part of our economy were around three percent i wish our share of the world economy exports as as part of our as part of our economy which we create you know we were competing in sort of pan in one nine hundred fifty five we were competing against germany in one thousand nine hundred eighty five we were competing against the one nine hundred thirty either with three percent it was it was was our total export you know our imports were running around

three percent we we you know this whole global free trade thing is a real recent phenomena so and with the marshall plan what we were doing was we were giving them money to build their own factories so they could buy their own goods not shipping goods to them that's not what build america what build america was eisenhower pouring money into the federal highway system but what built america was was the was you know in innovation the national institutes of it was nasa in the sixty's i mean well built america was americans after tax rates. well i mean look it's i mean i don't think and there's anything about a high tax rate that drives economic growth there's nothing specifically about how high taxes are exactly what it is because because you're going to say that somebody forced a poor back into their business so they don't say don't take the money out and it's not happening it's not hey let's campbell with this if you look at the history of the twentieth century sure and if you can prove me wrong i'll have you back and you can lay it all out of charts and graphs but every single time the top tax rate has

been above fifty percent and no bubbles no crashes every time it goes yeah everything goes below fifty percent what do you get bubbles and crashes because you've got a lot of rich people with a lot of money and they're looking for but but actually for money history of activity let me ask ronald reagan yes ask you the next question here is. we're going to close the hundred of you change the rules that allow some of the family will think it would be their viewership. in series of those who were understanding that if. they sometimes made it possible for millionaires to be a bus driver was being presented as the mysteries do you think the millionaire paid more in taxes than the bus driver or less. and by the way the crowd then shouted you know one right ronald reagan said you think the millionaire should pay more in taxes than the bus driver or less the crowd shouted more and this was a republican crowd what's happened to the republican party. well millionaire you

know billion or twenty thousand over telling the owners laterally or telling you to bus drivers shouldn't pay what it millionaires pay what you're give your for you the real you are the republican party or you know twenty five percent or twenty five more than a quarter of all people who are in more than a million dollars last year sure had less income tax than the median wage or than somebody earning forty seven thousand dollars a year in america you know this is wrong but the republicans are trying to do tax reform they just don't want it to be in consummate of revenue they just you know as we don't want to be an increase in taxes on we're rich people they want to know are the people you know i don't know any of the any of the balanced budget amendments or any proposals they always talk about revenue as a percentage of g.d.p. . so they're not talking about specific like rich or poor they're just saying you have to tax the economy at this rate thirty nine hundred twenty percent that's what people like neal you know i just say they're saying we want to make sure we want to

keep we want to keep the oil deduction for these guys from what i could write as you have exemption for these guys when eric cantor actually walked out of the room when they were negotiating over the over the private jet exemption remember this is just two weeks ago three weeks ago i think that you know if you were really want to talk about negotiating problems you know you were talking about why obama can't get things done i really only well ok if you want to talk about why obama can't get the republicans to go along it's because he doesn't have the interpersonal skills to convince people to go along you don't think it's because mitch mcconnell said on the day that president obama started his presidency and then reaffirming a month ago that his number one job was to make obama a one term president i would not i think that obama's maybe he took that personally and i know they keep talking about it but i think that's a line that you know anyone can say and sort of right is i sure there are a lot of democrats who are working from day one to defeat reagan or nixon or you know i i don't think that we've in my lifetime i there's a there's

a problem when the obama white house negotiates with the republicans on the hill you have to give away half their deal in advance because the obama make it easier because they say nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to and so you would get in because of all negotiate it's impossible to make small steps because if the last minute obama then says and you have to raise taxes and there always have to so the fact that the ok so the fact that the republicans are going to refuse to do this is a while before you know we're out of that but it will always be obama's fault on their you go god you have her eyes were all table in the american jobs act republicans will also be voting on more tax cuts for corporations and on legislation repealing a slew of government regulations to make sure the air we breathe. food we eat and the water we drink is safe. it's pretty much a carbon copy of what each and every republican presidential candidate has proposed to create jobs is their idea of job creation is hiring more nurses and doctors to cait take care of all the people who will get asthma and cancers when transactional

corporations are allowed to pollute war if so maybe our current unemployment situation isn't so bad after all. coming out the spotlight has finally been lifted for the new jersey governor chris christie within an hour and a half but not without she's an hour and a half from now the details of christie's drawn out repetitive use of the word no one after the break. what drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions to break through here through the green bay who can you trust no one who is your view with the global machinery to see where we had a state controlled capitalism and schooled sessions when nobody dares to ask we do our t. question morning.

crazy alert i can't get that song there in my head researchers at the university of london have broken the code i what makes this song so catchy according to research the key elements that keep people singing a song often without wanting to are long and detailed musical phrases multi pitch changes in the book and male vocalists accompanied by higher male based on their criteria researchers concluded that the top two pledges songs ever made were queens

we are the champions and bill is people's y.m.c.a. are the songs that made the top ten list include europe's final countdown and oddly the theme song to the t.v. show baywatch who would have thought the real reason why people tuned in to baywatch was because of the music. there was a political bombshell this afternoon in the republican race for the white house that is if you call a candidate saying at least two dozen times that he's not running for president and then today calling a press conference to once again announce that he's not running for president

a political if you call it a political bombshell. that's exactly what new jersey new jersey governor chris christie did today and the cable news outlets went completely nuts covering almost the entirety of his hour and fifteen minute long press conference which by the way is considerably longer than any press conference given to date by any of the actually declared g.o.p. candidates. in case you missed it here's governor christie once again seign running for president. now is not my time i have a commitment to new jersey that i simply will not abandon that's a promise i made to the people of this state when i took office twenty months ago to fix a broken new jersey and when i look at what we've accomplished so far i'm proud but i know we're not nearly done i've made this commitment and my state first and foremost. people sent me to try to get the job done and i'm just not prepared to

walk away so now the republican establishment has been sworn in their love affair with chris christie short as it was will they finally coalesce around one of the republicans who is already in the race or somebody else for his take is bill share a line editor of the campaign for america's future and author of the book wait don't move to canada stay and fight strategy to win back america bill welcome thanks so much for having me great to have you here it seems to me like when his positions on the issues but chris christie's positions on the issues actually started coming out that the republicans discovered that he's way more liberal than any of the guys on the stage in the debates and my. my assessment of that a accurate and b. might that be why he decided to bail out of more liberal is quite right it's hard to put them on that sort of crazy he has certain positions they're not because they're not orthodox right we conservatives he dismisses the threat of sharia law for example i believe he said once the global warming is real if we're saying very

low bars of what would be considered a liberal as you're in favor of. civil unions as well or somebody else they'd like that could be but so he has a handful of things like that a bit silly would have come up in a primary so when it had a glide path to the nomination he must have known that but what's what's interesting is the spite that there was this clamor among certain republican circles conservative circles corporate circles begging him to come in david koch they have a good head of home depot was a big big guy talking on christie's door and they basically let their desperation show they've let the country know we don't like our guys we don't think their guys are good enough so we want to guy with a spotty record in new jersey because he gives a good quote from time to time he sounds like a tough guy sometimes even he had some positions that we don't like we think that maybe just maybe. he he has. some personal charisma that could get us through we

don't think our current lot has it and by look by letting christie to use them along all they have done is diminished the field that they already have and should recognize that the feel that they're going to have well and and maybe another way to say it would be that the ones in the field who do have charisma. are just too wacky to you know it's just it's michele bachmann the rick perry's herman cain i think is very fast in this respect we're on our second it's came came boomlet. because see that in the one of the first debates he had a couple good lines you know look at me on the stump you know that he's not deep on policy there are certain issues he simply says i don't know how to do but i guess i'll consult with experts that's the best he has on foreign policy because a couple good lines in a debate and that gives them a spike but what's happened ever came with bachmann with perry they get these initial bombs and they have to actually answer a tough question or two and even republicans see wow you are so shallow you cannot

even handle one punch in a debate you want to a question from reporter and i want to win and i'm not convinced you can go toe to toe with obama and they fade out and now they're having to recycle their boom with start to go back right here just like your god which we can't buy that all of that mitt romney is still the top of the pack and isn't all of this indicating that a they have a mitt romney problem and b. that the two major factions of the republican party neither of which is the average republican voter the herbert walker bush old line old money republicans who i don't know who they look at this is the they don't really have a candidate maybe it's going to be romney and the tea party folks are just so crazy in their candidates are so crazy that bad old mainline republican group realize that if these guys take power they're doomed and then of course there's the neo cons in the middle who got george w. bush i mean he was one of them they had totally to. credit to hit everybody now because their state got to make it against again their stand on the outside thrown

stones and so you know we're where does the republican party do you know go this is as divided as a republican party is i think you would i have seen in our in our lifetimes and you we have there are elements of this split in two thousand and eight you know the the tea party right of his own was always was a far right over the republican party the tea party and and you should not i'm not really sure the what you all call the john birch society and it used to be thought of by the same people. but all of the right wing talk show host they did not want john mccain as they're not going to you they tried very hard to stop me all right about romney to be their best chance to stop mccain and they didn't have the juice to do it that you know mccain did not win fifty percent of the vote but i want to plurality i'm going to sort of couldn't fully consolidate on one guy that's not bad now romney's in the mccain position the right wants to stop him or something but they can't pick their guy and as long as it's fractured right even though romney is the father of about most health care reform even though it's the thing that concerns hate the most and you know you know romney's not getting fifty percent but

thirty five percent might be just fine if they can pick one other conservative because they because there is an element of electability concerns that even for a conservative seem to have now so that's what's happening on the right there's there's fracture and there's there's a whole merrily on the left you know i don't think that there's going to be a serious primary challenge to president obama at all right real unlikely and we just have a minute left for this but. it does seem like we're kind of at a ross perot or ralph nader moment that there's a possibility of a third party might emerge on either side because there's enough discontent in your side do you see anything like that happening i mean it's always possible you know once a ross perot is going to transport isn't really right i mean that in the end you know and he was a very rare situation where he got almost twenty percent of the vote in ninety two no one's really making bets those sorts of noises right now except for maybe donald trump i don't think it will attempt to replicate rust. oh on that score there's only a disaffected constituency that is satisfied with both parties but no one seems to

be tapping it right now so i'm not seeing it at this moment the last question real quickly you're hosting a progressive breakfast at the take back the american dream conference tomorrow morning seven thirty what's what's what's cooking was i going to see we're going to cook overnight but probably. to actually train obama the republicans over the american jobs act back that seems to be heating up the senate moves on to try to proceed bill would probably come out. and also what's happening at the conference how do we take this momentum building to take back the american dream and and it be articulated narrative is going to resonate with the broader public what we do next after the conference is over we'll share thanks so much for to see bill.

first thing then they ridicule you then they fight you then you win. so said mahatma gandhi to his legion of peaceful demonstrators as he took on and defeated the british empire the most powerful empire on the planet at that time without raising a single musket and today history is repeating itself right here in the united states as young people in manhattan and elsewhere around the nation face the same resistance gandhi faced being ignored and ridiculed being fought as they fought off the greatest concentration of wealth and political influence that's ever graced the planet for days wall street the occupy wall street movement started on september seventeenth that's seventeen days ago and for most of those seventeen days the mainstream corporate media decided to ignore it not because a big protest isn't newsworthy heck of a dozen tea partiers decided at

a cookout in iowa there'd be fox so-called news satellite trucks lining the roadway and all the other networks too but instead because it didn't fit in with their corporate narrative they ignored it it didn't fit in with their agenda to make sure that the nation's millionaires and billionaires could keep their tax breaks and keep their political influence because these are the same people who run and sit on the boards of directors of those very same media giants so they ignored the movement just as gone you predicted but soon enough after the numbers swelled and cops started turning up and pepper spraying women and then corralling and arresting seven hundred people again you couldn't ignore it anymore so they moved from ignoring it to ridicule and. you think that a wall street protest over dumb real not real were the really a lot of people down there with a lot i could never tell. everyone see the rest of the eighty's people right but i don't know if that was like old lady of them i think if you put every single left when callers into a blender and hit power this is the sludge you get they are some of the most

uninformed people if you listen to the truly unbelievable like the one guy says were affecting things i think the only things affecting is traffic all of those quotes could have been said in seventeen eighty nine for a on the french revolution or the russian revolution or with only slight modification when the nazis were coming to power in cuba on their fidel castro hugo chavez in venezuela this is always the beginning of totalitarianism so if only the tea party with its keep your government hands off my medicare president obama is a socialist and death panels receive the same sort of ridiculing coverage from the mainstream media but it didn't it gray haired zombies with tea bags dangling from their hats fits snugly into the corporate media's narrative if you want to rally for lower taxes on rich people and corporations then you can get all the airtime and favorable coverage you want in the united states but despite being ignored and ridiculed occupy wall street is growing and has momentum as does occupy chicago

which is continued for eleven straight days now but has been largely ignored as does occupy boston and occupy minneapolis and occupy los angeles and i think by washington d.c. it's just getting bigger and bigger and bigger which means it's only a matter of time before the peaceful protests are put down with violence with fighting remember gandhi's maxim first they ignore it and they ridicule when the right. we're already seeing the fighting after two straight weekends of unprovoked sometimes brutal police crackdowns but as this movement grows it's only going to get worse more arrests more pepper spraying more clubbing more rhetorical violence and the corporate malfeasance we're fighting and that's when everything will change as long as this movement stays united isn't hijacked and above all else remains peaceful then as gandhi said you when the british colonists ignored

ridiculed and then thought our founding fathers and then they lost the sons slave owners ignored ridiculed and fuck the calls to abolish slavery and then they lost the economic royalists as franklin roosevelt called them ignored ridiculed them caught a progressives who wanted to create a new deal in an american middle class and then they lost to in the one nine hundred sixty s. after years of ridicule and fights it was civil rights in the end the rights of the poor the issues on which s.d.s. was founded one hundred sixty four along with the right to young people to vote which was passed as an amendment of the constitution in just seven short months we want this is how our nation came to be and it's playing out again in front of our very eyes today wall street and its corporate media bullhorns will lose to stay tuned. that's the big picture for more information on our stories we
