i like. resigning to his fate prime minister as silvio berlusconi is stepping down with italy's economic domino its u. turn toward collapse does this mean that euro is doomed and left for the global economy. and do you know who is watching your every movement might be more than just your twitter followers was the supreme court listens to arguments about the government using g.p.s. surveillance as privacy just a fantasy these days and why are people so protective over their privacy when it comes to big brother for them varied all on the internet. want to.

tell you know who is paving the way for a neo conservative conservative tism to take root in the u.s. i'm not just talking about you but the foundation he represents so what the american military rap sheet that reads more like a psychological thriller is warmongering in our heritage. and read between the lines a new i report is stirring up tensions of nuclear proportions between iran and bluster and forces so who will benefit and a war with iran and at this point is there any way to silence the drama of war. it's tuesday november eighth five pm in washington d.c. i'm liz wahl and you're watching our t.v. well a humiliating humiliating day for italian prime minister silvio berlusconi and a vote today in parliament made it clear that they no longer support have him now

the pressure is on for him to resign the italian leader facing a slew of problems from sex scandals legal scandals to a loss of confidence by financial markets the league wants. dominated tally in politics for seventeen years to step aside and make way for a new leadership to tackle the grave economic crisis now plaguing the country yeah we've been dollars here to talk more about this thanks for joining us how has the time come for berlusconi to throw in the towel and step down yet clearly his position was just totally untenable and year olds have been surging nobody trusts him he's embroiled in all kinds of domestic scandals and bottom line is that because of reforms in leadership an italian italy needs he was no longer capable of delivering so this was it was the right it was on the walls so they say it was over for him and you know even if he does sat down which he says that he well what kind

of a factor will that have in new will that really bring about real change in italy yeah that's the funny thing i'm pretty skeptical is actually going to have much of an effect at all the problems facing italy are profound they have to deal with the structure of the euro they have to do with demographic issues in italy. you know fairly like sort of deep seated cultural problems and i just you know these might be a nice temporary measure and might briefly give people confidence that italy can get back on track but it's going the a lot more than this to move the needle at all is there any guarantee. if he in the event he does step down that there are both see any reforms of reforms that will really cut down the debt the countries that in boost growth there. i don't think so i don't think the answer is in cutting spending unfortunately for italy it's just not that simple. you know there's the political will isn't that one

that doesn't accomplish anything because as we've seen in greece cutting spending only weakens the economy and only makes deficits worse it actually the country needs reforms that promote growth they're very hard to do that within the fiscal straitjacket that is the euro and i think people should be very skeptical that this is going to change very much and after the prime minister made the announcement that he is going to resign treasury's have fallen what other consequences can we expect to see. well i think the really big story is just how you know the general discussed with leadership all across europe i mean you know there is the berlusconi news coming simultaneous with the situation in greece leaders in the core of europe even merkel they're not very popular right now so i think you know there's obviously the sort of financial contagion angle as the crisis goes from one

country to another but there's also just political contagion and the fact that no leader in europe on any level has really behaved in a bold or admirable way at all during this i mean the european the euro crisis has really been going on since mid to late two thousand and nine there's been no real progress there's been no real progress on solving anything so it's very reasonable to expect everyone is disgusted with their leaders for having failed so far to confront anything and the euro zone the economy is there are very tied together can you talk a little bit about what the situation and italy could mean for the rest of the eurozone and even the economy here in the u.s. . i mean if you were to go the way of greece and really have a collapse eluded have huge impacts on the rest of europe and the united states i think italy is simultaneously too big to fail and too big to rescue as people say so if it you know they can't let it fail because if it did it would just take down

for it and it would just be a complete crisis depression and on the other hand and it's so you know very it's like the third or fourth be dead or country in the world so no one really has the firepower to do anything with it is very scary situation the best hope is that the e.c.b. which you know technically does have unlimited amounts of money things to the effect that it controls the printing press in europe could step in in a big way i think people are thinking that has to be the end game and maybe there's a chance now that berlusconi is gone that the e.c.b. will do more prior to it with berlusconi still very i think nobody wanted to you know make things any easier for italy reward italy in any way if he leaves as he says he will perhaps. you know the perhaps italy will get the help and needs now thanks so much for weighing in on this that was deputy editor for the business insider vibrant. let's take a look now at an organization with enough money and power to shape the debate and

washington and beyond that have policy implemented that change the role of the united states around the world i'm talking about the heritage foundation and with the upcoming release of the report detailing iran's nuclear capability if there are many ways in which the conservative think tank is already sounding the alarm bell and lang the foundation for war are the correspondent christine preval takes a look at its past and how it may hand out what's to come and if you care thanks for u.s. justice department official john view is not quite beloved by everyone oh no you are you doing. here you are. but here at the heritage foundation he is welcomed with open arms as it is speaking it does not represent the earth itself. what it does represent ideals often adopted by conservative pundits and politicians including you who wrote the memo giving legal

justification for the use of torture saying federal law doesn't apply to interrogations of enemy combatants we shouldn't have our one our one hand tied behind our back and women are still just so using the police and the f.b.i. that we might need to use a milter president george w. bush chose this sympathetic venue to defend his appointment of michael mukasey his nomination for attorney general in jeopardy after he refused to declare waterboarding illegal senate leaders must move this nomination out of committee. bring it to the senate for floor. and confirm this good man founded in one thousand nine hundred seventy three a conservative think tank is bad to promote free enterprise limited government and for additional american values but critics say decisions made in here have less to do with democracy more to do with already corporate interests this is an organization that pushes a corporate agenda and a war profiteers agenda and that and

a right wing religious agenda there is war propaganda comment out of our ears in this town and it's those institutions like the heritage foundation that are that are the force behind it author and activist david swanson says those agendas are often fought for by powerful decision makers in washington we live in an increasingly dangerous world danger to our country remains very we're real and that the terrorists are still determined to get as we were so uninformed about this threat from radical jihad us the power of the heritage foundation is its ability to shape the debate we put out ideas that otherwise you might think were absolutely insane they've become mainstream corporate media television discussion and congressional discussion and end up in in religiously sin and end up being passed into law during the one nine hundred eighty s. heritage pushed for a containment policy toward the soviet union so therefore you can fund the

mujahideen you fund the nicaraguan contras you back maoist groups. in angola. anything to weaken the soviet empire which was seen as the overwhelming threat both by traditional right wing nationalists as of the kind you find it heritage interventionist policies critics say still haunt america and yet continue to be pushed for time and time again in washington christine for is now fourteen. and while organizations like the heritage foundation can help lay the foundation for war western powers now drumming up support for war with iran this as a report came out today by the u.n. nuclear watchdog leaked the information from the report supposedly or feels fresh evidence of the country developing its nuclear weapons program armed with this new information the u.k. is prepping its military for action and it's believe the u.s.

is gearing up for the possibility of war against iran as well meanwhile israel has fired a billis that missile believe to take on the country so is america on the verge of another war in the middle east and here for more is in our studio is going all of the policy director of the national iranian american council thanks for coming on jim all this so we just we just listened to this report about the heritage foundation this conservative conservative think tank and how they play a big part in drumming up support for war how big of a role do you think organizations such as the heritage foundation play and shaping up policy and pushing a pro-war agenda well look the report today. brings some concerning evidence about iran's nuclear program but it's nothing that we don't already know and it also tells us that the way out of this is not the way that we've been going it's not say shit it's not worth threats those types of options actually convince

iran that they need to be pursuing this option of one day being able to develop nuclear weapons capability so what we see though is that diplomacy is off the table and that's due in large part to the domestic political situation that the president faces talking to iran is going to cost him it's going to hurt him with these groups that are going to attack him and potentially cost him votes so you see that his policy options are really constrained by that fact and you just know that diplomacy options are off the table the russian president or the russian prime minister excuse me is hoping that that's not the case let's take a listen to what he had to say today. can we can we can see that the situation in the middle east is a fever pitch we understand the middle east peace process is locked in stalemate that's despite all sides of the conflict already trying to find a solution and if the situation someone starts threatening anyone with military

action could trigger very grave problems with this conflict that's why i think we need to take a breath relax and continue constructive dialogue little eastern problems including iran's nuclear issue is not something any kind of should force law could lead to a fully fledged war which would result in a catastrophe on the middle east. so you just heard from the russian leader yourself he's calling per peaceful solutions a diplomatic resolution to this conflict. as we just saw from that report there are organizations that do you think to be pushing that's probably more. in your opinion who do you think sansa benefit from going to another war in the mentally but i want to say i don't think that it's a matter of going to war at this point it really is wielding the military threat to push for increased sanctions against iran once you know once the playing field is either you do more sanctions at the u.n.

or we go to war and we have world war three in the middle east then the stations option looks a lot more attractive that being said you know the president and supporters of sanctions have said the same sions are supposed to bring iran to the table to make a deal and that that hasn't been the case we haven't seen the same sions actually convince iran that they need to do that so i think by constraining the opportunities for diplomacy and pushing for centuries we do get closer and closer to inevitable situation where we have to decide ok iran is on the threshold of having this capability. are the same as done and now is the time for the war option and right and in addition to the sanctions. but we are seeing signs that the u.k. is preparing to go to war and the u.s. also is preparing to go to war if that if it comes to that and with this report coming out today do you think that it could provide fresh justification to go to

war with iran here's the from what the so-called military option there is no option to stop iran from developing nuclear nuclear weapons capability through war you can't bomb knowledge. any military operation against iran could be set the program that they have in place back a couple years you can't stop a program or what it can certainly do is convince iran to pursue a nuclear weapon out right to throw out the eye and actually make that decision and with all this is brewing i mean do you expect another conflict with iran similar anti-rock. i hope not i hope not we'll see what happens. at the u.n. and we'll see what happens in terms of the united states with the five plus one. trying to pivot away from putting iran into a corner that it can get out of into presenting diplomatic options to bring iran into the fold where there is actually i. see cars and transparency in place on its

nuclear program ok and you know we did hear from the iranian president today mahmoud ahmadinejad to criticize the head of the international atomic energy agency they released the report calling him a pawn for u.s. interests what do you think about that well i don't know if i would i would say that i think that. you know the united states tried to take a back seat on this i hear reports that has not been a politicized agency and that's actually important for them to be able to do credible work if they're perceived as having a political agenda that actually does a lot of damage to the non-poor proliferation regime that i was there to help safeguard jamal thank you so much for your thoughts on this issue that you jamal out of the policy the rector of the national iranian american institute still had

here on ars he have we had enough of herman cain our deal with you rather hear about what's going on in the middle east well we've had to the streets find out what people are really interested in haiti and more coming up here and seeing. the you still believe the king of the nobody. seems to know. that never ever spray the face but already argument that they're being overly dramatic.

what drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions. who can you trust no one. you. see where are we cutting state controlled capitalism in school. when nobody dares to ask we do our t.v. question more.

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so silly you think you understand it and then something else here's some other part of it and realized everything you thought you. are welcome to the big picture. now despite the issuing of the latest i report anybody. showdown that might come of it we here at arthur you have been

a little confused as to how little airtime that's been getting in the mainstream news as america needs to know the latest on the herman cain saga and was a completely necessary to cover the michael jackson coverage twenty four seven we decided to find out what you think our own broadcast journalists has more. ok let's on letterman cain says he will respond to the latest allegation of sexual harassment clearly michael jackson was a drug addict most people probably believe he's going to be convicted of involuntary manslaughter you guys heard of something that's happened with a guy named herman cain yes. potentially yes i have heard of the latest news on herman cain have you also heard about the michael jackson trial yes i have yes i've heard the allegations about conrad murray i believe his name and the doctor that allegedly poisoned him and you guys heard another joke in that recent i.a.e.a. report saying that a run it is sort of on the threshold not sort of it's on the threshold of nuclear

capabilities and west is pretty worried about but here we go. yeah actually i have not heard the news about that and it's interesting that you would bring that up because it seems much more. significant would you rather hear about herman cain's exploits or would you rather hear about something for tuning to nuclear weapons i would like to hear something about pertaining to nuclear weapons i think i'd rather hear less about herman cain sexual allegations i think michael jackson is getting way too much coverage in my opinion i don't care about that case or anything else is going on with it i don't think michael jackson's that's important to me that's for sure because a lot of other things i'd rather look for in my news than that i would hope that you know they would give give coverage to the things that are going to be you know seriously affecting our country well there you have it it seems americans agree on

one thing you like to see some news. reporting from washington and i'm trying to set up our welcome that what the mainstream media is launching to let the u.s. government is watching big brother watching you well apparently they can if they want right now police can slap a g.p.s. system on your car and track your every move twenty four seven the supreme court today heard arguments on whether or not police can legally do this without a warrant that stems from a case that a d.c. nightclub owner who is now back nabbed by police back in two thousand and five police were able to track his activities for a month through a g.p.s. device they attach to his car and so on jones was convicted and sentenced for life behind bars but the court of appeals overturn the verdict ruling that police indeed have violated jones's privacy but the repro appeal courts have ruled that g.p.s. monitoring is illegal without a warrant amid the conflicting rulings the supreme court is now hearing the case

it's being called one of the most important fourth amendment cases in a decade it could determine just how far police can go in tracking your every. and apparently it's not a rare practice today from police to the f.b.i. authorities are reportedly binding of the life of thousands and the justice department that law enforcement now uses g.p.s. as a crime fighting tool with quote great frequency so is the rights of privacy eroding in america and as this plays a violation of the fourth amendment earlier i posed this question to alex jones and he had a lot to say about this if you take a listen. like this shows how far we've come that just five years ago bush got up and said i promise we're not listening to american citizens phone calls without warrants and then it came out he was lying and basically everything is fed through n.s.a. built inside the phone company systems and the police put on your property without a warrant something to track everywhere you go clearly at all common law

jurisprudence english common law our constitution it's on. debated in history that this is clearly a violation of the fourth amendment against unreasonable search and seizure but it's a violation of the tenth amendment to have federal t.s.a. people now on the highways of america running checkpoints not just at airports the f.b.i. can't randomly grope people's genitals but the t.s.a. does this is all part of a globalist come land security revolution in america they are the revolutionaries overthrowing our republic and replacing it with the orwellian homeland and police now admit there without warrants piling into on star systems that's on record and listen to people in their cars they admit that smart meters on houses can pick up an algorithm and even know what you're watching on television or actually wireless snooping hubs i mean this is so off the charts homeland security came out on fox

news and said the deputy director said that yes you're not going to know for listening to you but yes we're putting millions of dollars worth of streetlights that have hidden cameras and microphones to watch you and directly out of one hundred four this is incredible but they could argue well there's no perception of privacy there but now it's into people's homes it's it's people cell phones it's it's inside their cars this is just in credible that we've gone this far and now they're announcing domestic harden checkpoints and random checkpoints and i've actually pulled up to these now and they come up try to pull you out of your car with your children i am living in something out of a third world dictatorship and it's getting worse by the minute now they're announcing they want to censor internet freedom they're doing emergency media takeover drills tomorrow never before happened this impoverishment ready to start world war three and it wants to clamp down like the nazis did on its domestic

population we are in grave danger and so is the world found like the. the scary stuff alex one justification for using this kind of technology is that you know you're driving on public roads you know we kind of it's no you know you're you're driving on public roads and therefore you are or you're making result vulnerable to you're putting yourself out there you're in the public and so i mean you know the do you think that's a valid argument i mean with more sophisticated technology is this just the new reality of the world that we live in today. sure it was a laughing at you you're right that's what they're saying i was laughing and i asked and i misses. they they're not claiming the second amendment's a privilege nowhere is it a privilege in jurisprudence but they're just telling cops it is i see court rulings where judges say don't bring the constitution in my courtroom that's america all of this is illegal this is your personal privacy thousands of rulings

going back with on bills and horse and buggies before that say that your conveyance is your home use your person papers or effects that's in the fourth amendment this is a direct assault on the core of this country all over the nation state police under federal grants pull you over grab your cell phone plug it into a system that hacks that instantly and downloads its contents homeland security does this inside the u.s. at airports they take people's silver coins now this to me or threaten to confiscate them this is. i don't think north korea goes at this level we may go get certain people and go after him and it's terrible but this is just everybody i mean this is prisoner total indoctrination and if you go look at the u.s. laws this is all illegal but it's illegal that the cia operating in hundreds of cities in threat fusion centers but they do it publicly so this is just the

gauntlet thrown down authoritarianism of it in our face but you hit the key here if it were sold by zuckerman face upper hand and if you get suckered by schmidt of google that hey don't do something online and you don't let the public to see it and hey our users are just dumb any it's hot i think they can trust us that record of facebook this is the type of stuff that they say and do it in interest in attempt to overwhelm us and to get in our face and it's not that i have something to hide. i have privacy throughout history corrupt institutions governments criminals you name it use not having any privacy as a way to assess their mark those they want to feed on and gather intelligence against the general public to bring in karen that's why the founding fathers set up systems against this and when you are against the bill of rights and constitution

you are against this republic that had been a shining light of freedom to the world now the united states is exporting its mercenaries its corruption its t.s.a. style groping to europe now the united states has been turned into a giant engine of likud innes and i want my republic back i want the globalist banks hers who hijacked our nation out of here who think they can get right in our face and tell us there's no fourth amendment now that listen i've got articles where the police are going to alice's now without warrants and saying there's i mean it is unbelievable it's happening less now as radio host alex and helen that does it for now for more on the stories we cover go to our theme dot com slash usa and check out our you tim page at youtube dot com slash arts in america you can also follow me on twitter at let's see you back here at something.
