meanwhile the israeli air force has launched a series of attacks on the region moving at least eleven dollars to news day this comes just a day after palestine gained its first seed of a u.n. agency into what is seen as a show of support for its different state. they'll be another update from my colleague at the top of the hour but first it is back to washington for part two of the alyona show. time for showing us how long tonight's program last time we told you about the violence of the oakland protests last week including police firing off and tear gas canister which left an iraq veteran critically wounded after people expressed their outrage at this man situation and thousands came out on the streets the police at the start as a turning point for the occupy movement got a producer patrice and sandy to find out what you had to say last week in iraq war

veteran protesting at occupy oakland was critically injured by a tear gas canister and the blame seems to be on the police the mayor of oakland has publicly apologize the chief of police has also apologized and even gone to visit the injured man in the hospital with this strike play in oakland tomorrow the city is allowing employees to ask supervisors for furlough time if they want to attend and in san francisco the city board of supervisors are ready to approve a resolution that calls for no use to dislodge demonstrators in their city so has the critical injury to occupy protester an iraq war veteran scott olsen brought about a turning point in this movement well the mayor said i think so the turning point usually happens when people start getting seriously hurt or killed barbara three g.-r. said the actions of the police in oakland have given the movement its flag to rally around zachary believes that the violence is itself a turning point he predicts that if several more incidents like this happen we will see people within the occupy wall street movement coming out of the woodwork as

aggressors a lot of our viewers who wrote in seemed to feel that the violence in oakland is a turning point for the occupy movement and with the lessons learned by this incident let's hope that all sides can find a way to turn in the right direction because we all know there is no turning back. now as always we appreciate your responses and here's one. next question for you you know at home we've witnessed hundreds of arrest of occupy protesters all over the country from new york city in nashville cities and states use archaic legislation or passing around new laws to get it done but if you think you think that we're losing our first amendment rights to free speech and assembly as americans if you respond to us on facebook twitter and you tube and he has a response just like me. the sky. the line will come down. so wires will be singing.

well tonight we have yet another glimmer of hope surrounding debit card fees the five dollars debit originally proposed by bank of america is dead in the water just over a month that it was proposed by the bank and met with the ire of everybody ranging to consumer groups congressman even president obama and last week we brought you the news that wells fargo and j.p. morgan chase announced that they would be abandoning their plans for the five dollar debit feet yesterday sun trust and regions bank announced that they too would be giving up the fee and reimbursing customers for all these incurred and today the bank that started it all announced that they would not be continuing with their plan for that five dollars debit fee which is i think a very rare victory for consumers but before i get too excited about this consumer victory over bank of america i do a few questions for the bank now when they originally announce the plan for a five dollar fee in september they claim the debit he was simply economics at work but due to the new regulations levied just part of dodd frank they would simply have to pass on the fees to their customers and of story c.e.o. brian moynihan simply reaffirmed the banks quote have a right to make

a profit now of course those opposed it out frank a new banking regulations in general jumped on the new fee is an example of the costs of regulations being passed on to the consumer and an editable result of trying to rein the banks in but if that was the central argument which is that the fees a civil response of the economics of the day a new regulation well i'd love to think it could explain to me what exact. has changed in the economics of the last two months other major banks deciding not to change the fee doesn't change the economics of the day this isn't change the new regulations in dodd frank what it does show as the banks are full of it especially bank of america who have the audacity to come out and make the claim the regulations the market levers and simply not greed made them create that what the banks are going to do is find consumers fee charges and charge consumers be the excuse me as much as they can get away with and use any excuse that they can but this small victory for consumers also shows that people do have some power against the banks with the help of organized consumer groups the power of occupy wall

street but also economic arguments of the banks are brought out in the open and exposed for the fraud that they are and i'd say that's a true glimmer of hope. now since the occupy movement began as a park and spread across the country it's raised a lot of questions about just how far our freedoms of speech and assembly can really go we've seen city after city use obscure laws even passed last minute legislation to try and keep the occupiers from exercising those rights one of the latest examples being tennessee where legislators had passed a last minute curfew to make it possible to arrest protesters trying to camp out every night now a federal judge ruled in support of the protesters yesterday in the a.c.l.u. taking up their cause but it's only one small victory so let's look at what other obstacles we've seen and still might see in the future here to discuss this with me as mike riggs associate editor at reason magazine and reason dot com mike thanks so much for joining us tonight let's start with just this example in tennessee where they just decided to say you know what word is going to pass a curfew on

a public space and say that you can't actually occupy it as i show you how far you know lawmakers city leaders are willing to go to try to suppress protest i think so to maintain order yeah that's like one thing they might do it's also it's not particularly new i mean there are other things that you can't do in public spaces in the middle of a city that if you didn't have sort of if you weren't offering the umbrella of the first amendment you probably couldn't do couldn't you couldn't generally start a fire or cook or stuff like that and so those are the permits and the regulations that are being used now against protesters or generally just i think used against. you know people to keep parks clean and stuff but. you know while the first member says you know congress will make no law abridging free speech right to assemble and all that stuff we know that we know that's not true i mean we have federal agencies that exist solely to make laws that inhibit speech the f.c.c. regulations the f.c.c. the f.c.c. so the regulation apparently made begun there you have credit card consumers by

this i mean this is a good first of all as much as i love it like we don't get to practice and for very often at all what do you think some of the most ridiculous examples are that we've seen. you know throughout this occupy movement and cities of cross the country i mean i remember reading about the men that were arrested for wearing a guy fawkes masks in new york city because of some archaic law that you know didn't allow more than one person to be wearing a mask because of masquerade parties and god knows what year what else yeah i can't i can't point to anything that specific i mean in general the most disturbing thing i've seen is this idea that the police in order to keep the peace or to prevent violence are actually trying to incite it and antagonize it i mean what we saw in oakland you know that was just absolutely horrendous and totally unnecessary and i think reacting with violence or extreme force in anticipation of protesters acting violently is like pretty extreme in new york we've we've seen all over the place i mean with a.m.t. of warfare it's really we don't want to preempt peacekeeping i think is what you

call it and if your kids all over the place i mean they've gone from simply totally antagonizing the protesters to now that they're having these problems in zuccotti park with stuff like rape and assault and refusing to intervene at all so the this it told it shifts from location to location protests to protest i think the overall ambition of most of the politicians of all the ones who have been sort of signed on or so that they support it is basically to try and get things back to normal as soon as possible while we've also seen a lot of mean for example if you look at the open marriage inclined she was ok with the police tactics until we you saw an iraq war veteran scott olsen be injured by a tear gas yeah hysterically you saw that because you know a huge story that everybody latched on to and then suddenly she changed her mind and she supported us and then she went visiting the hospital and so i'm just wondering you know do you think this is a big numbers or is it p.r. that finally my might save the day might get police to back down because if that same day two thousand people came out in oakland and the police backed down they

want an occupy. which the oakland p.d. said they're very confused about they released a letter today saying they have no idea what they're supposed to be doing the koran is all. the place i think what we're seeing across the country right now is police forces that are not trained for protest i mean when you think about it i mean the shining example for handling this stuff shining may be a bit strong but a good example i think is probably the metropolitan police department for the district of columbia they're they're used to protests they're used to large crowds that could cause damage often don't but could cause damage so we have police departments across the country who have no training for this whatsoever we have mayors of cities of all shapes and sizes who have no training for this whatsoever and who also like sort of don't like this government does not like this politicians who pretend to like it or say that they endorse it you know partly for covering their asses they're trying to stay in office and this movement is not going away some people say it will go away in the northeast because of the weather but it's not going away all of them are concerned about reelection all of them are concerned

about what damage or ramifications could do to their image so i think for the most part we're seeing a lack of training and also a sort of attempt to co-opt the movement what would you say that our police officers are trained for because at this point they seem to have a lot of gear that makes them resemble the military very much they also have a lot of former veterans coming over from iraq from afghanistan and then are going into the police force and so then you have essentially war tactics being used at home they are there they're trained to destroy i mean they're trained to suppress it's not i don't think it's an exaggeration to say that american police forces over probably since i mean at least since nixon to you know declared the drug war have definitely been moved towards becoming these like really efficient like the number of the city police department have swat teams in the number of city police departments they have all kinds of tactical weapons it's gone through the roof there are extra curricular training that they might do i mean because swat is a voluntary commitment for most police officers a really coveted one the training that they're doing is for busting down doors it's

for taking out suspects with as little resistance as possible they are definitely not being trained to stand back to use disk. rush in to sure they're not trained for any respect for the constitution because most of them violate the fourth amendment on a regular basis i guess hopefully we will start to see that change though if you know they thought by movement continues on if it continues to gain momentum mike thanks so much for joining us tonight thank you. well still to come congress is hard at work away thing time with their latest resolution perhaps why not start on our full time segment and then happy hour that is the obvious e-mail by the g.o.p. in virginia go too far plus the insane way that a woman wanted to remember her dad of course from the. cultures that so much given to each musician on the mark with his teacher so

does the rest of the arab world tunisia successfully holds the first election of the arab spring with an islamic party. the a. load.

i did time for tonight's tool time award and tonight goes to g.o.p. members in the house of representatives with all the problems currently facing our nation the item on the agenda today in washington d.c. is a vote to reaffirm in god we trust as the national motto i kid you not this morning the headlines are splashed all across the web the washington post says social issues return to the forefront with the in god we trust resolution that l.a. times details the planned resolution and of course fox news supports the idea with the headline the motto america needs right now i've got one tiny little question why the hell is this being voted on right now of all times and why the something that congress is even addressing after all in god we trust is actually already the us motto became the official motto back in one nine hundred fifty six that hasn't changed and as far as i know nobody is trying to change that so why do we need to

reaffirm it seriously is that a pressing issue but with this new resolution congress is pushing it for the display of the motto in all public buildings meaning all public schools courts and other government buildings so not surprisingly that whole separation of church and state thing doesn't really mean all that much to g.o.p. lawmakers especially when there is a culture war to win and economic turmoil to distract from now i'm sure they will see all sorts of court challenges if in god we trust starts appearing in public buildings just like the lawsuits over displaying the ten commandments in public buildings a few years ago so maybe they're looking at this as a job creator could employ a few lawyers but tonight i've got a novel idea for congress instead of reaffirming in god we trust is the official motto of the united states why not try and earn the trust of the american people have you forgotten that they don't really think all that much of you right now how about you actually do your job the current unemployment rate is nine point one percent if you go by the you six the real unemployment rate stands at sixteen point

five percent nine some people are out of work maybe you could pass a jobs bill that might get the economy moving again but wait you did vote on that issue recently in the house. and the g.o.p. said no dice president obama's jobs bill could have provided money for states to build repair roads and bridges along with tax breaks for businesses but because president obama wanted to pay for the plan by increases increasing taxes on the millionaires the g.o.p. said hell though so democrats try to send the bill through into broken or broken into little pieces and the first part would provided funding for states to hire teachers cops and firefighters but again the g.o.p. said no so it's no wonder that recent polls that we've discussed on the show have congress's approval rating in the single digits it's the main reason of president obama's labeled one hundred twelfth congress the do nothing congress as he seeks a second term i am always open to negotiations what is also true is they need to do something so build the answer the question then is will congress do something if

congress does something that i can't run against a do nothing congress if congress does nothing then it's not a matter of me running against him i think the american people will run them out of town. that's right the american people are hurting but g.o.p. lawmakers are simply choosing to do what they do best and that is to deflect deflect to defunding planned parenthood or acorn or n.p.r. or in this case wasting it time and taxpayer money voting on the in god we trust motto so for once again shirking responsibility is elected officials focusing on waging an exceedingly unimportant culture war that's why we're giving one hundred twelve g.o.p. a congress tonight's tool time ward. hi

guys it's time for happy hour and joining me this evening are two producer jenny churchill and mike riggs sociedad their reason magazine and reason dot com thanks for joining me guys thank you all right so we all know that yesterday was hala we hopefully you all enjoyed our hala we had a lot of fun doing it and so for the whole the we there's this banner that has a lot of people really really upset take a look at the depiction of president obama as a zombie with a bullet hole in his forehead was part of the illustration in an e-mail sent to members of the loudoun county republican committee asking them to help decorate a float for the leesburg hollow we were great. at how obama with the bullet in his head looking like a zombie it also had nancy pelosi all disfigured a throng of flesh hungry zombie obama supporters and they the people who have the loudon county g.o.p. chairman mark cells apologize he said it was just a light heart of attempt to inject satire humor into the hollow in holiday when you

guys think i i mean i was i think any time that you're saying g.o.p. . semi southern state obama bullet hole in the ad. that's going to raise you know why do you think it's always going to upset people i mean it's like a flyer campaign that is basically just a series of red flags photo shop together really really well maybe have more for the bolthole have been more comfortable i mean obviously they're not inciting like an assassination attempt or anything it was sort of in keeping with the season you seem skeptical like the radio is the funniest thing i've ever had is i'm going to put it right. with the maybes on the reagan because he was actually by the time he died but i don't know i just i feel like and again if this had been a white politician i probably wouldn't feel uncomfortable with it but yeah i don't know i guess i guess the race angle bothers me a little bit and i think it definitely adds to it but at the same time it's kind of like this was so unbelievably unnecessary you're going to develop something like this just for a newsletter to send out asking people to help with the flow. i just resources i

don't know they've got the money somebody on that team is a great photo shopper and they got they got the attention they got all the p.r. in the world that they wanted but you know i think they're they like us they're so not ok then actually you know right now this could have been a lot smarter i mean based on the amount of money herman cain raise this morning after sort of singing about sexual harassment yesterday this could do great for the law and getting republicans. well well they actually actually when there now this next story is just like this stirring just seems wrong in so many ways take a look. this is actually a local woman who climbed inside the carcass of a dead horse without her clothes on to pose for pictures but there's more to all of this photos of the woman and her boyfriend holding what appears to be the horse's heart. so apparently they're not being charged. apparently she did it

so she could feel one with the horse i don't think it was her horse it was her horning to story know that it's really sure i don't know if it was her horse but the horse was old and it was being killed and they then slaughtered the horse to eat the whore and they did end up eating her and they did enough or so this was kind of like in the oh there's an empty carcass here i don't know what to do maybe i should climb inside and take pictures that was that moment wouldn't do that yeah that made me sort of nauseated seeing that but i don't know like maybe they're just doing like this mishmash of cultures right you know the way you waste not want not use the whole animal plus star wars crawl inside it to keep warm i don't know but i mean you know those memories a lot of time. totally her and her boyfriend could have a heart of memory but again we're just dealing with what i think like from what i read to you now they're moving on to some other city where she wants to find another horse to do this with what i was really confused because the same article that said that also said she just wanted this whole thing to go away and i was like

you should do what do you mean go away do you mean go to a different state and you are some of the. so i don't know maybe like get you know those guts offer and move on to the next one. trip i guess i can so i want to go to the market or i'm from kentucky this is a little much for me to hand over so it was like a counterpoise going to be ok well i know we can not marry horses you know i think that. has been explored there actually and this is now i also have an affinity for cows. carcass. carcass i'm going to say no elephant carcass i mean we're going to go now can we just revisit this is not a whole lot different i mean this is like an intermediate step between like wearing a dead animal on your body like for something you know so really you know it's ok i mean we're going to work i haven't been through some of the matted. and i don't know if we are being real with it ok she's not ok you before you came on scene i

was actually thinking of you know when you know you know. like this is just the intermediate step ok which is playing with a horse or whatever ok moving. horses to robots take a look at the young girl who can't go to school for the robots going for her. with this wireless internet robot called of ego teachers and friends can see and talk with her while she's safe at home controlling the vigo from her keyboard. so apparently she has an allergy. and so because kids come to school with their hands and then touch the desks you know every day i guess drinks milk or cereal or whatnot for breakfast mason scrambled eggs that are made of little milk and there. it is so you know a lot of. getting hungry. give me a break thought is that's cool you do have

a robot go to school for you i guess forget about you know going to prom or anything but am i the only person bothered by the fact that we're like preserving all these elements of the gene pool like a hundred years ago when i just had to like tough it out or get out you know i'm not i don't want anything bad to have you got here on here i don't follow you i don't want anything that i do that man's eyes grow because but i think about it like like food allergies in the western world are just like going through the roof it's really ridiculous i mean i'm just like mike what do you stand. well how do we deal i know we ask why did our geezer going through the roof we ask about it then which will result in a letter or no it was when you wrote that as i didn't want to see you get to this because it's completely took me away from my bubble boy comment i was clearly i'll make you the bubble boy will be a nation of bubble boy there's something about this i propose kids in to walk around barefoot more often you know just stay out. there but i don't think that we live we don't know what we're eating half the time look and that is pretty foul and disgusting not everybody can have

a robot and that's the future we're moving towards one and i'm really worried about why would you send a robot i mean you want to send a robot in to do the most boring part of school sit in class you don't get to like go out for recess don't get to go to dances she died of the social interactions are all gone darwin is spinning it was ok i think that's going to have. maybe even more weird there may have been a u.f.o. sighting at an n.f.l. game watch this video and i'm going to show you a close up backwards but watch closely. what do you say you have. to do we have the phone i think others are still told it will have a. little bit. more to be really gross i don't really know assuredly are that's kind of like oh maybe it's a go in the dark for israel or maybe there's no experience as lame that this is

actually a bug that flew really close to the lens of the camera issue with that theory however as the middle spire there clearly is behind it so how could it be close close to the camera lens yet behind the building i don't know i love you've explored this idea. yeah on your website right. just as you have your eyes nothing was yet. your photos exist we just don't know what they are we don't know clearly and wondered right there what idea to light on we don't know no we're not saying it's an alien's we're not saying that it's military stuff airlines out there you know just so clearly even more mysterious things not going to find it and it is a flying object and then happen in front of tons of people just like the two thousand and six o'hare sighting ok if you can we win. thanks for joining me tonight that's a good night so thanks for tuning in make me come back tomorrow the baker is going to be on the program to talk dogs by wall street and the legislation that might
