the white house. internet only a military mechanism to know how to bring justice or accountability. i have every right to know what my government's doing to want to know why i pay taxes. but i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so sorely sleep you think you understand it and any glimpse something else is here see some of the part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. says.

let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right here. i think iraq is one well. we're never government says they're confused safe get ready for freedom four. for .

all right it's time for tonight's tools and award and not to go to fox news now yes we often pick on fox news but sedate is a special day today is their pick t.v. birthday so today we want to show you what box news has brought to america over the last fifteen years now since taking to the airwaves in one thousand nine hundred six boxes built a loyal customer brand they've become the talking points network for the republican party so we're going to celebrate with a stroll down memory lane let's just call it boxes greatest hits so secret the networks hate liberals they go after democrats with glee in their eyes any chance that they get off and ignore republican hypocrisy so just take a little look at fox news versus progressives and the obvious propaganda that

liberals are trying to teach to our children. think woodstock meets burning man meets people with absolutely no purpose or focus in life they are controlled by radicals and revolutionary communist it's just so weird that they don't release and just get it over with it seems to me because i was on i don't doubt it was just now it's getting strange that they just go so here we're talking about creole changing the colors of the rainbow instead call them colors of the cultures they clearly said to the crayon government agency showed kids this cartoon in canada books them playing man for global warming but they did not tell kids that that is actually a disputed fact books they hate corporations they hate capitalism and in the end ultimately they want statism over free markets so they really don't like freedom or your socialist party cheer it's like all those evil conservatives like me have been claiming for a while he originally said. no and then went on and ramble about the budget and

energy spent oh yeah according to fox news liberals are un-american socialists who want to bring communism to america now perfect teen years they've actually been spewing this crap here for wonder why this nation is so polarized you can thank fox news for bringing political debate ad discussion to a totally new level of violence in our next area who would like to highlight news is their fifteen years of promoting prejudice they never miss a chance to scare white people by making muslims black people or any other minority group the bogeyman. not all muslims are terrorists put all terrorists are muslim if you are any twenty year old most woman and you should be strip searched building that victory mosque and what's in that sense of burial site would be both disruptive and cold hearted for the families of nine eleven victims the most dangerous scenario is that radical muslims seize power and put sharia law into place this president i think has exposed himself as

a guy over and over and over again who has a deep seated hatred for white people or the white culture i don't know what it is this guy is i believe a racist and the white house judgement on inviting for one with my cop killing during the morial week of all times you know the judgment it would be all wrapped in a cloud. you know it actually amazes me that these people think that they have a point when they're broadcasting some of these stories but hey they figure found an audience to eat the stuff. next we want to celebrate fifteen years of curing torture and abuse in the united states you know fox news i have a little bit of a left her violence if you're a police officer tell me can you take an eight year old that pepper spray i think yes yes absolutely all right in my book it's called just what you do not take the risk of saying well perhaps i'll get information another way if i say you can say remember the bush administration did exactly the right thing whoever leaked all

those state department documents to the wiki leaks website is a traitor and should be executed or put in prison for life. pepper sprayed children advocating for torture and killing anybody who leaked the information those are the strategies that you have to support in order to work at fox news that's one tough crowd now lastly let's celebrate the fifteen years of fox for being a bible thumping network who believes in freedom of religion only if you're christian city or and you're skeptical every day and then you go to church and you get on your knees and you pray to the bill man in the sky invisible man and they got to go i don't you know you don't want to tell you one man that we don't know but i am not tell you why it's not a scam in my opinion all right tide goes in tide goes out never miscommunication you can explain it again this investigation is designed to spotlight retailers who have knocked to the word christmas out of the christmas trees are christmas happy holidays or get plenty of advertising space plenty of room for banners in your store why do you think there's dog and excluding very close friends i were

absolutely not going to say merry merry christmas i'm not lying isn't it i mean i'm not going to go there because it's annoying. and that's what fox news has brought to us childish name calling insults temper tantrums and really huge egos and they're acting like most of peter old i know we know when somebody else comes along with a different point of view fox news feels threatened they don't like the scent they don't like anybody questioning america's role in the world or our actions in the world unless it's then just this week they had a little problem with r t who gave actress and comedian roseanne barr a platform to voice her opinion on occupy wall street i want to go to roseanne because you brought her up she was on something called russia today you've ever seen it work larry is it is the most vividly anti-american network you'll ever fly and it looks like it's filmed out of somebody's speech made. you know it's hilarious fox news is that you think that preaching hate islamophobia supporting torture calling anybody who believes differently than you

a socialist and communist that's more pro-american than i don't know spreading the truth we cover stories of the mainstream media a.j. a pox news business or refuses to cover we're not corporate owned we don't have to worry about sponsors shareholders who focus on news and yes were critical of the government why because of fox news and other networks refuse to question authority that's what journalists in this country are supposed to do to be government watchdogs but in our corporate culture today they're more like lap dogs of fox news happy birthday let's all raise a glass and hope you guys grow out of your awkward teenagers quickly and finally become responsible adults and that's our given you and i still and ward. well the state department now has three weeks until the schedule to make a decision on the keystone x.l. pipeline it's the plan seven hundred mile pipeline withdrawn from canada all the way for the u.s. to the gulf and it sparked a fierce debate this environmentalist of call the game over for the planet because of the increased amount of greenhouse gases the remitted extract oil from canada tar sands those in support however call this a job creator

a way to decrease america's reliance on oil from arab nations so today the state department decided to hold a hearing here in washington where hundreds of everyday people showed up to support or protest the pipeline and make their case but at this point are the cards already pointing the pipeline tempers are still reeling over the apparently very cozy relationship between the state department and a transplant a lobbyist and exposed in dozens of e-mails that were released by the environmental group friends of the earth now if there is one thing that history has shown us and which is brought all the protesters all over the country as of late and unfortunately biggest trees big oil or big banks they usually win join me to discuss this is kate collage or lou. sorry butchering your name associate director at the sierra club the on oil campaign thank you so much for joining us they are having me say your last name caller really hollow really think you ok so you were at this hearing today and from the reports that i read it got a little rowdy yes it certainly did and it was

a perfect example of the american people versus big oil and big money there were over eight hundred people in the audience in the hearing room and a thousand outside at the rally at lunch and they came from every walk of life it was actually pretty inspiring to see farmers and ranchers and business people entrepreneurs' environmentalists just a huge swath of people that came to show their concern they were a lot of pipe fitters in the audience so it was sort of a mixed bag we had this huge raft of americans from all walks of life that came to say no and then a bunch of paid union supporters that would come to sit in the audience very few actually tough. they were paid either but that's not to say what you have that your country is divided in regards to this pipeline because it is being sold as something that's going to create a lot of jobs hey it's a massive pipeline it's going to run all the way through the country well actually it doesn't create a lot of jobs and that's one of the sad things about this pipeline this pipeline is supposed to create between three thousand and five thousand jobs and fortunately the numbers have been credibly distorted by the company trans canada. for example

the people in the audience there today they're not going to get any jobs from this pipeline so yes there are jobs there but i think if you look at the real story there's a lot more people to be hurt by this pipeline there's the health impacts in communities down in texas cancers respiratory diseases there's the farmers along the way this pipeline endangers one third of america's agricultural daughter where those jobs going to go if this thing leaks so i think if they think it's really a mixed bag i want to the larger concerns here too is that when you have to extract oil from the tar sands and this really increases the amount of greenhouse gases that are embedded right well i mean how devastating is that's one of the reasons the sierra club came to the table about two years ago on this issue the charge stands are one of the most toxic and dangerous forms of oil on the planet they say it's game over like you said if these things are developed an area the size of england is set to be destroyed by the tar sands so i really think that when you look at the water when you look at human health and when you look at climate change

issues it's easy no ok because thing is china has already expressed interest right they're saying fine if america doesn't want it will figure out a way we're going to we'll develop these tar sands will extract oil from it even if they have to ship the barrels all the way to china so if the u.s. does say no i'm playing devil's advocate here you know then not only do we lose out of oil but at the same time the same damage is going to be done to the environment well that's one of the most damaging that's out there right now so great now canadians on either side of the tar sands are dramatically oppose and they have said no to numerous pipelines that take this international ports. the east and west coast sides canada so right now the charts the answer landlocked and there is no way but this pipeline to get to china this pipeline is so wanted by the oil industry because it opens up the texas gulf coast refineries the largest group of refineries in the united states actually in the world and those international shipping ports that are down there so many industry analysts are actually saying

this pipeline is an export pipeline and right now we're seeing about sixty percent of the oil that's refined down in texas is export it actually found a latin america to europe to other parts of the world and so i think to say if we build this pipeline will get in the united states actually not based on the fact that's not what's we're seeing right now in our economy and the truth is that the industry and the banks are watching this decision because this decision is going to drive investment the tar sands because it will be the first international shipping port that the tar sands will have access to now let's just compare this really quick because we had hundreds of people protesting in from the white house against this tar sands pipeline weeks ago and the media paid almost no attention to it compare that to the cylinder a scandal and how much attention that's gotten you know is this occupy movement perhaps helping bring down the keystone pipeline protests to the forefront a little bit well i hope it is i mean it's certainly true that there's some really similar concerns being said we actually had some occupy people that came down the street today

a lot of people that self identify as environmentalists and are just fed up that we're not seeing more leadership on environmental issues. i want to thank you so much for joining us tonight and i guess the clock is ticking three weeks left to go but if you had to do it if you had to make a guess is it going to happen or what i will say is that on november sixth about five thousand protesters are coming in from d.c. to encircle the white house that's our last big shot and say no to this pipeline so . i'm feeling optimistic when i look at the room that was there today all right thank you for joining us tonight. now coming up next we have our fireside friday and a happy hour the death of steve jobs has turned into a business boon for some clothing makers class a porn company is making n.f.l. about a sexting politician who recently left office i can just not. let's not forget that we have an apartheid regime right now.

i think iraq is either one well. we're never government says they're going to keep you safe get ready because you believe your freedoms. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so pleasing you understand it and then you doing something else here's some other part of it and realize that everything is ok you don't know i'm charging bloggers a big picture. see . if

we just put a picture of me when i was like nine years old i like to tell the truth. i confess and i am a total get of friends that i love driving because he is economically and politically. but he was kind of yesterday. i'm very proud of the role with al-jazeera has played. tonights by your side you are who. they three winners were announced for the nobel peace prize for their nonviolent struggle for the safety of women for women's rights to full participation in peace building work

that's according to the nobel committee three women that have been fighting to bring about peace and change in liberia and yemen but since we're on that subject i want to talk about another name that didn't win but somebody who was nominated for this year's peace prize and a fact is somebody who won in the online poll for the guardian which was chosen by their readers the private bradley manning the un american accused of leaking more than two hundred fifty thousand state department cables as well as the war war logs on iraq and afghanistan to wiki leaks the young man who was held in solitary confinement quantico virginia for months and conditions that many amounted to torture all about being convicted of any crime least now fort leavenworth in kansas where his conditions are said to be better but he still awaits a fair trial and today it's actually five hundred days officially since bradley manning has been waiting for that five hundred days that he's been in pretrial confinement so short run that's something the government has yet to explain all the

questions surrounding why it is of the obama administration is still obstructing the united nations special robert you're on torture mendez from conducting an unmonitored meeting with bradley manning seems like the u.n. is good enough for this president to use an excuse to get us into a war with libya without ever asking congress but when it comes to examining our own abuses our own citizens not so much let's not forget also that this was the president who once said that whistleblowers employees with the courage to report wrongdoing are the government's best defense against waste fraud and abuse and i guess they only need that when it doesn't apply the abuse was carried out overseas in our various wars you know this past year has really been remarkable like the amount of change happening around the world who. and that the arab spring revolutions economic crises rising global imbalances now leading to the start of movement here in the united states the occupy wall street things are happening the world is changing and i think it's fair to say that the information that wiki leaks

has made available to the public has played a role not change where there will be to expose people from countries around the world to the actions of their governments and their diplomats in their militaries or just to start a new debate about openness transparency what it means to live in an over classified world and yet a world where the internet is challenging that classification you know we've seen our own officials support movements in the arab spring where wiki leaks cables played a role we've seen our media report on countless stories taken from those leaks and when it comes to the case of bradley manning the young army private that may be responsible for passing on that information because his conscience told him that it had to be revealed everybody likes to turn a blind eye to forget about the risks that he took the way that he's been treated the man that's borne the brunt of all the reactions to wiki leaks it's clear the guardian readers have forgotten those people who nominated bradley for a peace prize haven't forgotten and it's something that i too have not forgotten so to the obama administration just know that you still have

a lot of questions to answer. ok it's friday and it's time for happy hours and joining me tonight is our producer jenny churchill and tanya salmon a reporter and blogger for think progress die or thank you for joining me ladies. so anthony wiener former representative for new york is no longer in congress right because a little texting sexting scandal we aren't those pictures but big guy finally there is now a gay porn called amputees we enter a period. well. there are.

no. you just love the reason i described the studio is called jets that studios they've also done one called getting levi's johnston so you know i kind of think a little porn with politics since we have so many sex scandals all the time yeah i'm all bored and want to see it seems like a good feed for it you know but the thing that surprised me first of all two things one that it took this long i mean it was practically direct material for them and two i had no idea that's how you really spell winner for the longest time i actually thought it was his last name so i learned something today. by the way chris are going producers they have in there in the control room said what's next male and pale and. that's ok you know so what does that do you know i think that it was really a shame it took this long and i'm really thankful for the porn industry that our politicians are such morons and constantly giving them lots of material well if

anthony weiner needs another job but i'm sure the porn industry would love to accept and i'm sure they'd call. but you know in the meantime ok the anthony weiner thing also is a reminder of how prudish our country is in certain respects right the fact you have to resign because you had a picture of your thing in your underwear or whatever that you said to somebody meanwhile check out this woman in poland her name is leonard and she's trying to run for parliament and this is her campaign. i mean just think about it if somebody in the u.s. had a political campaign ad like that ever i would go for she's got my vote and i'm not

going into that so i don't know you got to wonder where are her campaign headquarters you know if she's having a fundraiser is that a crazy horse and colin might be equivalent i do not they're not afraid to use sex to sell themselves to be you know and i think that what we can take away from that is we clearly know where she stands on the issues and you know i don't even want to you know kill. every baby that's her way saying that she's the one that will bring world peace all around paul but you just have the but take it or. by the way we have an update there already is a part out there called male and pale and. straightforward so crisp. creative five times differently we were altered so we thought it was the best idea . on our industry this is why libraries are. titles otherwise i'll see you. just say but whatever you know i think it's kind of

interesting i wish we would see something like that here but of course they'd be ridiculed by the rush limbaugh would go crazy let's move on so unfortunately of course sadly steve jobs passed away but i parent lee there is some silver lining here for the sequel clooney brand who says that as soon as the news broke that jobs had passed their mock turtle necks flew off the shelves and he said that they've experienced an almost one hundred percent increase in sales since yesterday so. steve jobs just made. sell through the roof. i'm sorry i think if i were fortunate as well just go completely yeah that's exactly what i was going to say it's not really an unfortunate thing because that means that many people are going to be walking around in that pain and start on that you know if you want to leave jobs if you can hear me out there i'm sorry i mean you know great innovator you you added so much to our lives but mock turtleneck is something that i hope maybe just just.

i mean it's cute right it's a nice little it can do you regret if you're all but you think that i guess he probably before you bought an i pad you know the reason why not but i know it's point out of star yeah exactly anything i mean a big five he clearly you're very right there you know steve jobs jobs he clearly wishes that you would go by what if you really know what it was from happen to a time. ok so. what about domestic abuse because it's a really happy hour topic. first of all let me show you a clip here of a woman who was really upset when they were going to lower the criminalization of domestic abuse and make it just a misdemeanor. and speak with a crowbar and dismissed and you know. i've had both my risk that was a misdemeanor let's put these these victims in with control and dogs at large and

parking tickets that's how important you are to our community. ok so you think that's bad right is after someone just beat the hell out of them in that sense it was just a misdemeanor but let's take a little. little ride over to topeka they're actually considering decriminalising domestic violence in order to save money because you know it just costs too much to prosecute these people considering you consider said ok but you said they were and i was there the back of there actually considering it see in fact they've stopped prosecuting those crimes since september eighth like they have it officially made a law i guess and so they've already turned back thirty domestic violence cases since that time very well i mean really really of all things you can't afford to prosecute nonviolent crimes don't get prosecuted anymore and then the ones where people are beating up their spouses you still bring it in spend the money on. my only thing i have to say about the story is i think that's absolutely unacceptable

and a spectacle and if somebody sends me the addresses of some of these people who are beating their wives i will show you i would like to give you how to be happy to come show you how demeaning and awful that is and then they can even call the cops on you exactly all about it or they won't prosecute you or yeah ok i'll get sober i call the god so you're well i mean it's ridiculous you know this is the city council's big idea i have one let's get rid of the city council and take their money and give it to the prosecutor clearly we're not doing it much else so i mean it but. i think i have just really died of our of our priorities being screwed up as to where we choose to have money and where we don't. cool things so much for joining me tonight thanks that's it for a night show thanks for tuning in and make sure to come back on monday for you have the latest on occupy wall street in the meantime don't forget to become a fan of the a lot of show on facebook and follow us on twitter and you missed anything i say or any other night you know he's. a flash heal our show you'll find the interview as

well as the show in its entirety if that is the news. guitar sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lack of sleep you think you understand it and then a blimp something else you hear sees some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. of. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the wall street through today at. least in

chance a good chance to choose to set a good mood for example the status of the human experiment to get sprinkled with the weakest you will probably see this rap music because it goes to the movies allegedly trying to make sense of global economy and the song changelings us financial template each of the releases clambering to maintain our confidence in markets and taking on the primitive wants to be seen trade imbalances recession push b.p. nations close to collapsing a subprime loan foreclosed homes. to fail circulate banks again feel little like thing is the us crash and even in smashed ceiling it seems to me as if like all the clubs in athens we are functioning on just programs increasing the total economy.
