one of the crowd at the port has now reopened upset being declared safe while forty . one percent is reportedly helping the u.s. finalize plans for possible preemptive strike on iran's military installations especially tehran grows over a pin richmond's capability and for those claims washington is moving towards a person trying to put a seat way to theism in the rain you told me bomb program claimed tehran strongly denied. those are the headlines this hour now we had back to our washington studio part two of the don't go away. hi guys it's time for show and talents and the last time we discussed the methods used by states across the country to arrest occupy protesters governments of use a variety of tactics like archaic legislation or even passing new laws to get the

protesters out of their hair but with these arrests are americans also losing their first amendment rights of free speech and the freedom of assembly because of the trees and producer for truth in a sense we find out what you have to say. is the first amendment give people the right to say anything they want whenever they want and wherever they want while not quite u.s. courts currently operate under what they call time place and manner regulations meaning the government can often stop you from sleeping in public places blocking sidewalks or say blocking the flow of traffic now most occupy protesters are aware of these rules and they try to cooperate well what do you do in a city keep changing these rules like in austin texas where thirty eight people were arrested because they put up a food table two days after the city made a new rule against food tables from ten at night to six in the morning now national tenn took a judge to tell officials to stop and forcing new rules are being used to arrest occupy protesters so when the rules start changing when people start protesting is

this it infringement of the first amendment all jason said i don't think we are losing our rights americans don't know enough to size them so when infringements happen they still believe they are treated fairly frank said we have already lost our first amendment it is gone and i am proud to say i was arrested in chicago on october sixteenth trying to defend the first amendment mike told us it's obvious we have lost it but at least one state has judges that are giving people a chance to sit is where protesters are taking place are walking on a. very thin ice protesters feel they are actually sizing their rights under the constitution many police forces seem to see those rights as second to enforcing law and order and that is where the major disconnect live. now as always thank you for your responses and here's our next question for you from the show we spoke with lucy half not about the general strike which shut down the port of oakland yesterday we want to know what you think about an effective tool for the occupy

movement to use and if not what you are is be doing to make their voices heard you can respond to us on facebook twitter and you tube and you know the response you just might make on there. now just when you thought the banks couldn't be any more shameless in their quest to squeeze money out of americans looks like they found new ways to target those who are suffering the most you see most people who need help from the government including those that are unemployed or on food stamps they're getting aid through prepaid debit cards the major banks have received contracts in forty one states where prepaid debit card holders can use their banks to obtain those funds but it doesn't come for free in fact many people are taking the opportunity to charge many banks excuse me are taking the opportunity to charge small fees every single time that people use one of those debit cards j.p. morgan chase wells fargo bank of america and u.s. bank are among the most well known banks that have contracts for the prepaid cards so what kind of fees we're talking about well take us bank for example they allow

the card holder to make just four withdrawals per month without a chart after that it's a dollar fifty for each visit to the a.t.m. so one u.s. bank customer robin robin bill is an unemployed man from oregon who lives off of one hundred eighty nine dollars a week now since he uses an unemployment money to pay all of his bills rob says that he easily has more than four transactions a month and he's afraid withdraw all the money from his card in one transaction because a very hefty seventeen dollar overdrafting feet so the huffington post reports that some of those banks even charge for those using these prepaid cards i.e. the unemployed just for checking their balance or for. using the debit card to pay for things online so clearly the banks about a way to make a profit off of those who've been hit the hardest in our economy now according to mark potter advisory group which monitors the consumer payment industry prepaid debit cards have become a very popular way for the banks to pile on the fees in two thousand and ten the durbin amendment and last minute add to the dodd frank bill kept how much banks could make off the consumers who lose their ordinary debit cards but those same

restrictions don't apply to the prepaid cards designed for the unemployed and those on food stamps now after hearing how the big banks are taking money from not only all of us all the time but even those that are suffering the most think it's really not surprising that so many people are protesting the financial firms in fact san diego has taken their disgust story the banks a step further yesterday was that withdrawal wednesday at the imperial county labor council called on the public to remove their funds from the banks now the move comes just a few days before nov fifth which is being called bank transfer day calling on people to close their accounts of for profit banks and transfer them elsewhere so perhaps this news about banks targeting the poor it's going to encourage more people to take part of the movement stop giving their money to those that are profiting off of people's pain in this economy. now the last couple of days over in europe have been well what you could call the whirlwind first greek prime minister george papandreou said markets tanking other european nations into a frenzy after he announced that he would put the latest european deal to cut greece's debts up to

a referendum calls for his record resignation followed and although he refuses to step down for now he did announce today that the referendum is off now greek finance ministry officials said that greece only has cash until mid december and after that without the eight billion euro it dispersement greece will be unable to pay its debt or pensions or salaries so with this move has popped in to save the day or is the euro zone still in a world of hurt the g twenty that's going on in cannes right now is any sign the entire world is watching and waiting for europe to try to fix its mess joining me to discuss it is economy economic analyst gonzalo lira and sol thanks so much for joining us tonight and let's let's go back right so everybody is breathing a sigh of relief at least for this one second right now because the referendum vote is off but before it was on people were saying that well greece may as well kissa its membership in the euro zone goodbye that banks are going to collapse that this would be the end of the world where you say larry that the referendum had gone through that the vote had been a no what would have happened. greece would probably have been kicked out of the

euro zone or would have left somehow or other you know there would have been no other way for them to fix the situation. i just find the whole thing just bizarre and just fascinating the way how seemingly intelligent people people at least both you know good resumes just completely screw the pooch i mean pop and monday set that over to have a referendum and then on thursday saying no you're not going to have as i understand it i don't speak reese but i understand that his up speech before parliament agree problem was just this rambling and bus affair that went absolutely nowhere and. it's just a disaster it's just incredibly amusing i'd be laughing out loud if there weren't so tragic because ultimately if you are going to suffer are the people and ultimately the european people i think that greece is a basket case and we should just ignore it we should start paying attention to italy and we should ban tension on the elite but also france at the end of the day what matters are the bond spreads that is the cost of the additional cost that each

country's paying above the german bonds and the treasury bonds u.s. treasury bonds and french bonds are beginning to peak and that is very troubling because the whole idea of saving greece was just almost a firewall to protect italy and spain but now it will italian debt is going through the roof and now finally french that is starting to pick up that's the real problem so greece is now just a sideshow it's a circus freak it's nothing important it's italy and france that's what we have to be worried about now but so how could you possibly say that greece is nothing important is that because it's doom has already been spelled out here and again of course the greek people are are going to suffer and they have been struggling with austerity cuts but at this point they only say that they have until the end of cash until december if greece does no default if this all goes under is still going to trickle down effect everyone else first before italy you know in portugal or france

my type. well i think that the markets are already with this whole charade that happened over this past week i think the markets are already discounting greece altogether and just you know writing it off it greece is done. they were going to run out of money on december fifteenth because they need to roll over i think was four billion euros worth of debt and they said we didn't have the money and when in fact after about one draws announcement of the referendum the troika. european commission the international monetary fund and the european central bank said that they were going to hold off and handing off the last the next tranche of money that reece needed so that had there been a referendum on the fourth as were originally intended it probably would have gone against the bailout or against austerity measures a lot more and therefore at the like it would have withheld the money and on december fifteenth reese would have gone down the troops now. suspending the referendum doesn't guarantee that they're going to get the money the greeks don't have to jump through all the hoops that the troika have set up. let's assume that

they do and let's assume that they get the money and deem is afforded and on december fifteenth there is no default or no credit event which is what everybody survived of well in sherry italy house to roll over approximately forty billion euros worth of debt. for those who don't know rolling over that means basically to get more money to pay off previous loans now the italians don't have forty billion euros worth of money to pay off that were ruined and on top of that they have the italian banking situation which is deteriorating and it's just if you're in substantial and so the chinese have to worry about their own mess as well as their local banking mess so that's going to be a lot of money so now that reese may or may not have been solved you don't really know but let's for the sake of argument assume that it has been sought come february we're going to have italy to deal with and that's forty billion let me out

let me interrupt for a moment here so what's going on right now is you also have world leaders gathered in qana france and beautiful lovely place at the g. twenty and everything else has kind of been put on the back burner the eurozone debt crisis is at the top of the agenda and you have a lot of pressure being put on from president obama and so i just want to put in the forbes list of the hundred most powerful people into this right the way are they what it is obama is the first most powerful person that you have that here put in and then you have who is in town but at the moment mean are these three actors virtually. unable powerless to do anything unless greece gets exact together you know then they just have to stand by and watch as the global economy goes back into another recession another tumble. well the problem is europe of course and now the chinese have already said that they're not going to bail out europe they're not going to kick in funds to the european financial stability facility which is what

nicolas sarkozy has been trying every has been basically begging the chinese to do so the europeans are going to solve this mess on their own. these those three gentlemen that you mentioned they might be the most influential people on the face of the planet but you know when you have a particular crisis when your house on fire it doesn't matter how rich and powerful you are at the end of the day it's the fireman you know holding the code's who's the most powerful in that particular situation in the situation that we currently find ourselves at which is a weakened european banking structure and a collapsing insolvent sovereign sector you're going to have to go to the local governments at this point in time i have been trying to say that. god help us all george pup in jail is the most powerful man in the face of the planet because his actions or whatever you want to call that what he's doing his actions are going to turn in the fate of europe and that's a buck and so you know obama would you know or whomever you know they might be very

very powerful overall but at this precise moment the guy who's holding the hose is probably drill and he is clearly unstable and i guess so are forbidden to take that one into account how gonzalo got to have a party and we're out of time but thanks so much for joining us tonight thank you for having me. now still to come trying to protect students from bullying lawmakers in one state just look at the problem in the courts for not tonight's full time award and happy hour a deep friending on facebook leads to arson in iowa plus an eighty three year old man gets arrested for kind of process with something called that that. was easy. to sleep.

point i want to call on michigan state's out of there gretchen whitmer for some help she's democrats voted against the anti bullying measure and just listen as she addresses fellow lawmakers about matts safe school law which is named after a teen that at length who committed suicide shortly after an anti-gay hazing incident. you may be able to pat yourself on the back survey and say that you did something but in actuality you're explicitly outlining how to get away with bullying now according to senator wicker this new law gave students a blueprint on exactly how to bully and not be held responsible for it listen to how she explains how lawmakers crafted this new piece of legislation. your exceptions have swallowed the rule as passed today bullying kids is ok if a student parent teacher or school employee can come up with a moral or religious reason for doing it. that's right so the g.o.p.

loaded up is anti bullying bill with exceptions based on religious and moral views now the new reform requires every school district in the state to have a policy in place to address a point complains that the bills language that says requirements don't have a statement of a sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction of a school employee a school volunteer pupil or people's parent or guardian so basically if you're a christian that things homosexuality is a sin that it's totally ok for you to bully or gay classmate because your religion makes it ok i mean this is just so wrong but said in their way here isn't letting republican lawmakers off the hook shear off the hook here she actually places the blame for future bullying in their hands in fact not only does this not protect kids who are bullied it further in dangers them by legitimizing excuses for tormenting a student and the saddest and sickest irony of this whole thing is that it's called man safe school law. and after the way that you've got to do it

it wouldn't have done a damn thing to save man. so i have to say is congratulations lawmakers there you've now given a license to bullies to terrorize students in your state and you named a law after a kid took his own life after being bully but this new anti bullying law as i mentioned it was named matt safe school law after madlang his father told a michigan newspaper that this government sponsored this is government sponsored sanctioned bigotry and called it shameful that religious and moral protections are added at the last minute personally i agree i think of beyond shameful the republicans in michigan state think that they can surround intolerance and hatred in the cloak of religious freedom religious beliefs are not an excuse or a free pass to bully herb use another human being and the fact that elected officials would actually take the time to write these sorts of exceptions into law that makes me sick and that's why republicans in the michigan state senate are tonight's tool time with.

our guys it's time for happy hour and joining me this evening is our producer jenny churchill and julian sanchez research fellow at the cato institute thanks for joining me guys do you really read paying purple i think we have a nice little color going on here just neither here nor there just a statement had to make let's revisit really quickly is a story that we did a couple of days ago or was it last week maybe it was a dead horse dead horse girl just take a look at this 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 then the boyfriend the girlfriend ate the horse and it was all about wanting to be closer to the horse that was the original excuse now as she's come

out and said. she actually got the inspiration for this from star wars number like that one scene where they actually the time they have to cut open the guy and put him in there i haven't seen anything that's defiled my childhood memories of star wars especially since this is the phantom menace well i didn't it's so ridiculous i mean if she could just drop one hundred dollars gotten aton time sleeping bag which are readily available on line and he lived out her dream she didn't need to cut open a horse i think that's kind of a cop out because everybody obviously freaked out or like your security if you want to go take making pictures out of a course carcass and then she tried to blame it on george lucas. she's also just ridiculous because she's a want to be actress slash newt is to says that she wasn't looking for attention but i'm sorry want to be actress nude photos equals i want attention so she said she was inspired by damien hirst instead of. you know instead of star wars she probably got a grant oh jesus jesus i think he's move on to the next one here you guys but i'm

with you on the totally need attention thing i don't know if this with stories any better. eighty three year olds maybe take a low take a look. elderly city council candidate from iowa is facing prostitution and assault charges eighty three year old ben clifford dawson from center ville was arrested following an investigation into accusations he offered to perform sex acts on someone to repay a loan dawson is also accused of grabbing and kissing the victim without consent he is out of jail on two thousand dollars bond. now this is clearly sad on many levels because what drove him to not be able to prove pay his debts and he felt like that was the only way to do it and somebody who has been victimized but when you're eighty three you really think that was going to say yes to sexual favors for real well first of all we have absolutely no idea what the woman looks like maybe eighty three to yeah maybe she was eighty three or maybe it wasn't completely unwarranted

sexual advances however i have to say i think that this is the result of too much but i agree is that's just me. spending time on the internet at all you might you might get the impression that there are in fact people who are into that i just find that it's labeled as prostrate persecution usually when you know someone offers you money for consensual sex not when you would be sexually assault someone and then ask to be paid for it yeah i do agree i don't think this is prostitution he was also charged with sexual assault oh ok so that but it's just like really eighty three. you just think that at this point nobody wants sexual favors from me anymore i mean i don't know maybe he wanted to get over the. old sex right now but . ok should stop or is he going to really think it would be end to it if he thought it was a viable option for him i mean whether or not that's something. he doesn't really add a little here long ago and he does that even work anymore how do you really perform sex. does not cause heart attack you can still take eighty three do you

know. nursing homes out of control i know people who have already as you know i'm not eighty three like honestly if if you're taking three i think. i intend to continue having sex and joy you know actually dad and depending on. the state i mean maybe after so i don't want to rule these things ok i'm going for it once i get all the facts and thing at the moment i'd rather not think about it but let's remind of our next story who knew that facebook you know being mean to people on facebook could actually get your house heard down at least that's what we think of the story here is because husband or wife woke up in their house was on fire and the police report said it all happened over a facebook dispute because according to according to one woman the other one is angry because she ended their friendship on facebook and it all started because she asked her to create an event on facebook for a party she did that there are

a lot of declines as the event approached they want to look like the party might be a bust that's when they really got into a big fight over it because maybe she wasn't pimping her party well enough on facebook and that's when the house burned in flames. this is this is like this is like you know how every fortune cookie you can make a lariat so when you read it out loud you tacked on in bed on the end the same way like every journalist thinks that like a story that's fundamentally has nothing to do with facebook if you add on the internet on the average there's a story about the social dispute between friends that went crazy if it happened over the phone or by you know printed mail the snow would say oh it's a mail story friended her on facebook but she could have differing to her in person it's i mean it's not fundamentally a story that is not about. but that only happened on facebook as two thousand and eleven is going to be the judge on monday and it is you friends that want to facebook but let's get you to live right there or is officially over like that's how long you know the bottom line is this proves once and for all the facebook is evil and causes are saying that this is different and

a proof we now know that also it's really frightening that woman looks totally normal but she's the type of person who. well let's move on to something that i think personally seems a little more obvious but i guess this is a new study take a look. megan cheese cake and other delicious yet fattening food may be addictive a new study in rats suggests that high fat high calorie foods affect the brain much of the same way cocaine or heroin does and when rats consume use food in such great enough quantities it leads to compulsive eating habits that resemble drug addiction. i like that doesn't shock me at all kind of the way i know what i open a bag of chips like a bag of something i cannot stop so i've just long but you know i've long assume these things because you know oh there's no cause of those so they're comparing it to cocaine so after you open that bag of chips and eat them and they're all gone two hours later are you like holy cow you know i need to go prostitute myself to get more chips has it ever happened you know so is it the same i say not as bad as

the last time i don't know any other one you know this is the same study the other way is do you whatever just doesn't have the same study showed that the rats also like prefer sugar water to cocaine which leads me to wonder like maybe rats and humans are not actually similar enough to just readily you know cross apply these results is ok because like what her. parents are joining me tonight that's a pretty wide so thanks for listening and next week back tomorrow you won't want to miss my interview with rapper immortals like me and me time don't get me to the fan if you want to on facebook and follow us on twitter you missed any of tonight's show or any other night you can get. lost in the lower still and coming up next in the news. from los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand severe problem is not enough inpatient beds not enough urgency department beds and not enough nurses to man those deaths to take care of all the

people who are about the only real health care system that we have in the city of los angeles is the los angeles fire department in fact when i started my venture is a firefighter i didn't want to turn it around so i started out i want to just do firefighting it's about eighty two percent of what we do the far the problem is medical i've had to rescue a couple weeks ago waited for hours for a bit i've waited sometimes three hours but i wouldn't say the same francis and we went for four hours and fifty minutes standing against a wall of patients and we have a federal law that mandates that you can't turn no one away who seeks care in an emergency room. we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least.
