woodward and i to go to fox news now yes we often pick on fox news but today is a special day think today is their fifteenth birthday so today i 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 it's no secret the network hate liberals they go after democrats with glee in their eyes any chance that they get off their ignoring 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 like woodstock meets burning man made for people with absolutely no purpose or focus on life they are controlled by radicals and revolutionaries communist that just so weird that they don't release and just get it over with it seems to me because i don't i don't doubt it just now it's getting strange that they just told so here we're talking about changing the
11:32 pm
colors of the rainbow instead call them colors of the cultures he said to the crayon government agency showed kids this cartoon in canada books that blame man for global warming but they did not tell kids that that is actually a disputed fact hopes they hate corporations they hate capitalism and in the end ultimately they want statism over free markets so they really don't like freedom are you sure she was part of the cheers you know 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 cognizant to america now for fifteen years they've actually been spewing this crap for wonder why this nation is so polarized you can thank fox news for bringing political debate and discussion to a totally new level of violence in our next area that we'd like to highlight from
11:33 pm
fox 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 boogeyman. not all muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are muslim if you are an eighteen to twenty year old. 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 to 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 the white house judgement on inviting someone who is glorified cop killing during police memorial week of all times you know the judgment it would be just the lacking of clout. you know actually amazes me that these people
11:34 pm
think that they have a point when they're broadcasting some of these stories but they seem to have found an audience who eat the stuff. next we want to celebrate fifteen years of curing torture and abuse in the united states you know fox news they have a little bit of a less to violence. if you're a police officer tell me can you take that in a euro without pepper spray i think the answer is yes absolutely all right in my book it's called discipline you do not take the risk of saying well perhaps i'll get information another way if i say your name rank and serial number 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 spray children advocating for torture and killing anybody who leaked 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 fifteen years of fox for being a bible thumping network who believes in freedom of religion only if you're
11:35 pm
christian say they are and you're skeptical every day and then you go to church and you get on your knees and you pray to incredible man in the sky invisible man in the think that the can no i don't you know you know and i'll tell you one man that we don't know by a mile tell you why it's not a scam in my opinion all right goes in tide goes out never miscommunication you can explain that again this investigation is designed to spotlight retailers who have knocked to the word christmas out of the christmas season christmas happy holidays plenty of advertising space plenty of room for banners in your store why do you think there's dumb and excluding merry christmas i were absolutely not going to say merry merry christmas and no waiting 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 how they're acting like most fifteen year olds i know but you know when somebody else comes along with a different point of view fox news feels threatened they don't like dissent they
11:36 pm
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 five and it looks like it's filmed out of somebody's basement. you know it's hilarious fox news is that you think they're preaching hate islamophobia supporting torture calling anybody who believes differently than you a socialist in a communist that's more pro-american than i don't know spreading the truth we cover stories of the mainstream media aka fox 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 we're critical of the government why because of fox news and other networks refuse to question that authority that's a journalist in this country are supposed to do to be government watchdogs but in our corporate culture today they're more like lap dogs to fox news happy birthday
11:37 pm
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 are giving you a nice tool time award. 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 seventeen hundred mile pipeline would run from canada all the way of the u.s. to the gulf and it sparked a fierce debate veyron medalists of call the game over for the planet because the increased amount of greenhouse gases the remitted extract oil from canada is tar sands those in support however call this a job creator and 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 going through tempers are still reeling over the apparently very cozy relationship between the state department and a transplant a lobbyist as exposed in dozens of e-mails that were released by the environmental
11:38 pm
group friends of the earth now if there's one thing that history has shown us and which is brought all the protesters all over the country as of late that unfortunately begin to stories the big oil or big banks they usually with join me to discuss this is kate. butchering your name associate director at the sierra club beyond oil campaign thank you so much for joining us they are having me say your last name for me caller earlier hala really thank 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 ranchers and businesspeople entrepreneurs' environmentalists just a huge swath of people that came to show their concern there were a lot of pipe fitters in the audience so it was sort of
11:39 pm
a mixed bag we had the huge wrath of americans from all walks of life that came to say no and then a bunch of pave union supporters that would come to sit in the audience very few actually test. they were paid to be there but it's not a day where 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 unfortunately 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 really look at the real story there's a lot more people will be hurt by this pipeline there's the health impacts in communities around the texas cancers respiratory diseases there the farmers along the way this pipeline endangers one third of america's agricultural water where
11:40 pm
those jobs going to go if this thing leaks so i think it's i think it's really a mixed bag and one of the largest concerns here too is that when you have to extract the oil from the tar sands and this really increases the amount of greenhouse gases that are emitted right well i mean how devastating this that's one of the reasons the sierra club came to the table about two years ago on this issue the tar sands 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 a easy you know ok but the thing is china has already expressed interest right there 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 you know what i'm playing devil's advocate here you know then not only do we lose out on the 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 missed that's out there right
11:41 pm
now so right now canadians on either side of the tar sands are dramatically opposed and they have said no to numerous pipelines to take this to international ports. the east and west coast sides of canada so right now the tar sands are 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 exported actually down to latin america to europe to other parts of the world and so i think to say if we build this pipeline will get 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
11:42 pm
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 occupied movement perhaps helping bring the keystone pipeline protests to the forefront a little bit like hope it is i mean it's certainly true that there are 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 into d.c. to encircle the white house that's our last big shot at saying no to this pipeline so. i'm feeling optimistic when i look at the room that was there today all right
11:43 pm
thanks so much for joining us tonight thank you. now coming up next we have our fireside friday and that happy hour the death of steve jobs has turned into a business boon for. some clothing makers plus a porn company is making a new film about a sexting politician who recently left office back and just more. we hear it because our. god. this elin belongs to us. will if they are still going to be thinking the. goal chosen people will love believe that god is. focused on is this for you guys and this guy is.

11:47 pm
go to tonight's fireside with your host cops. today 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 in fact somebody who won in the online poll for the guardian which was chosen by their readers will be private bradley manning the young american accused of leaking more than two hundred fifty thousand state department cables well as war logs on iraq and afghanistan to wiki leaks the young man who was held in solitary confinement in quantico virginia for months and conditions that many amounted to torture all without being convicted of any crime bradleys now fort leavenworth in kansas where his conditions are said to be better
11:48 pm
but he still awaits a fair trial and today it's actually five hundred days officially since bradley manning has been waiting for that trial five hundred days that he's been in pretrial confinement that's no short run that's something the government has yet to explain as well as the question surrounding why it is that the obama administration is still obstructing the united nations special robert scheer on torture juan mendez from conducting an unmonitored meeting with bradley manning the. like the un 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 mean that when it doesn't apply to abuses carried out overseas in our various wars you know this past year has really been remarkable what the amount
11:49 pm
of change happening around the world good and that the arab spring revolutions economic crises rising global imbalances now leading to the start of a movement here in the united states to occupy wall street things are happening the world is changing and i think that's fair to say that the information that wiki leaks has made available to the public has played a role that change whether it would 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 you 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
11:50 pm
the man that's borne the brunt of all the reactions to wiki leaks it's clear that guardian readers have forgotten those people who nominated bradley for a peace prize have 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 hour so joining me tonight is our two producer jenny churchill and tanya salmon a reporter and blogger for think progress dot org thank you for joining me ladies so anthony wiener the former representative from new york is no longer in congress right because of a little texting sexting scandal well for those pictures but thank god finally
11:51 pm
there is now a gay porn called anthony's we are to parody it. photo. no. i just love the reason i just cracked me up this is the studio is called jets at studios they've also done one called getting levi's johnston so you know i kind of like that makes it a little porn with politics since we have so many political hacks scandals all the time yeah i'm all bored i'm going 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
11:52 pm
chris are going pretty soon as they have in there in the control room said what's next nail in pailin. that's right you know so i don't. know i don't you know i think that it was really a shame it took this long and i'm really thankful for the point industry that our politicians are such morons and constantly giving them lots of material well if anthony weiner needs another job then i'm sure the porn industry would love to accept him i'm sure they call. but you know in these. 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 at.
11:53 pm
i mean just think about it if somebody in the us had a political campaign ad like that everyone i would go for she's got my vote and i'm not going to buy into that so i don't know you've got to wonder where are her campaign headquarters you know if she's having a fundraiser it is that the crazy horse and colin like the equivalent i do not they're not afraid to use sex to to sell themselves to be you know and i don't i think that what we can take away from that ad is we clearly know where she stands on the issues and. you know. everything that's her way of saying that she's the one that will bring world peace all around paul but you just have the bud take it and. by the way we have an update there already is a part out there called pale and. more.
11:54 pm
creative five times differently we were all to this we thought that was the best idea going up on our industry this is why libraries are. titles otherwise i don't want to see you. just say it but whatever you know i just 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 for the sequel clothing brand who says that as soon as the news broke the job to past their mock turtle necks flew off the shelves and they said that they've experienced an almost one hundred percent increase in sales since yesterday so. steve jobs just made mock turtleneck sell through the roof what do you say to that i say i think it's kind of unfortunate because my own necks are
11:55 pm
just so 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 heinous turtleneck fantasy you want to leave jobs if you can hear me up there i'm sorry i mean you know great innovator you you you added so much to our lives but mock turtleneck is something that i hope maybe just just goes i mean in this cute right it's a nice little it's an do you prefer it to your all but you think that i guess you probably prefer you bought an i pad you know. but the notes. are yeah exactly anything i mean clearly you're very right there are no steve jobs jobs he clearly wishes that you would instead go buy one of his and we know. from haven't talked to her. ok so let's talk about domestic abuse because it's a really fun 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
11:56 pm
domestic abuse and make it just a misdemeanor. with a crowbar it was a misdemeanor. i've had both my risk that was i'm assuming are let's put these these victims in with weed control and dog 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 pick up there are actually considering decriminalising domestic violence in order to save money because you know it just costs too much to prosecute these people considering considered ok i thought you said they were and i was like you know the fact that they're actually considering it see in fact they've stopped prosecuting those crimes since september eighth like they haven't officially made a law yet and so they've already turned back thirty domestic violence cases since september eighth i mean really really of all things that you can't afford to
11:57 pm
prosecute how about 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 stories i think that's absolutely unacceptable and despicable and if somebody sends me the addresses of some of these people who are beating their wives i will come show you. have 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 ok it's over i call the gods are you but i won't 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 da to prosecute clearly but not doing much else so i mean if that's the big idea i think i have just another side of our of art. priorities being screwed up as to where we have money and where we don't sorry abuse not cool our girl's got
11:58 pm
