6:30 pm
you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then a glimpse something else you hear sees some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't. becomes a fictitious. guy
6:31 pm
more and mr. to believe anything. nobody seems to know. that never break the face but hardly argument that they're being overly dramatic. guys it's time for you said it i read it take time to respond to my brilliance engaging viewer comments from facebook twitter and you tube so you got something to say and listen now first i'll respond with you who watched our show yesterday about
6:32 pm
the bank of america settlement which ward four hundred and ten million dollars to customers for excessive overdraft fees extracted by the bank of the last decade yet he commented yesterday on you tube and said i left be away in one thousand nine hundred eighty two for that very reason my credit union thanks me thanks that now i don't really feel the pain i think everybody's been charging overdraft fees before and it hurts every time especially when you know the big banks are charging you just because they can't so good for our viewer for taking a stand taking his business over to a credit union forty thousand other people did that this very same weekend for bank transfer day so you got to wonder if banks don't get a clue actually start treating their customers with some respect instead of squeezing every penny they can out of them for more people just might do the same thing the next don't respond of your washer tool time starring michele bachmann's comment that if you don't work you don't eat or you shouldn't eat a lot of that commented on you tube and said the hypocrisy of the right wing is
6:33 pm
painful to watch she wants government to stay out of our lives regulate less yada yada and of course there are things that they want to regulate who you love how you love what you put into your body who you marry what a woman does with her womb she really would love to regulate what god you worship and how they venerate jesus and his message then bomb innocent third world peasants tell the poor to work or starve and help the rich rob us it makes me sick. and hypocrisy of the right wing it really makes me think do i have to hear one more politician preach about the virtues of small government and less regulation more freedom all working to take away my freedom to choose what to do with my body the freedom of anyone else being able to marry whoever they want to love i think i might hold my hair out and of course they only believe in small government when it comes to dismantling the welfare state or cutting us government aid to the war course michelle and other right wing politicians that rail on the evil of government hope their war against the war in some sort of moral idea of self-sufficient feet but that doesn't change the fact that they want less government when it suits their political goals and
6:34 pm
a lot more of it when it fits their danger in their daily agenda now our last comment tonight comes from a viewer that watched our happy hour when we spoke about the white house answering a petition saying if there is no evidence of extraterrestrial life at least comments on facebook and said well of course they don't exist we know the white house would never lie to the american people cough cough and those are my thoughts exactly. just getting though those are my thoughts all right that's of my writing this week and i'll get more with with more back with more as usual next week. now it is rational super committee was formed it was designed to find areas that could survive biggest cuts and i doubt away the betting on how is one of those bloated budgets which made it the target of two rounds of cuts first the military is going to have to cut three hundred fifty billion dollars from the budget but if the supercommittee can't find one point two one point five trillion dollars to slash from other parts of the federal budget by thanksgiving then the cuts will come back to the d.o.d.
6:35 pm
and as part of the trigger mechanism the pentagon is going to have to give up another six hundred billion dollars ever since this plan came out warhawks even members of the idea been working tirelessly to keep that second round of cuts from happening even if the supercommittee fails we put out several members of congress well they've all fearmonger of using terms like doomsday like it is and they warn of a possible draft in the future he even said that the military would be unsustainable if it based this many budget cuts but a lot of just how far some people are willing to go about that as usual john mccain and his merry gang of neo cons hate the cake on this issue and mccain's been outspoken against defense cuts ever since the idea was proposed and he doesn't know how to take no for an answer and fact he even made a statement to the table saying the secretary of defense and all the service chiefs say that it would do irreparable damage to our national security so obviously we need to do something about it my intent is that the sequestration our national defense will not take place and we can also made the statement about the cuts.
6:36 pm
which duration is not engraved on golden temple which it is it is notional aspiration and those who are sure and i think we have sufficient support to prevent those kinds of cuts being inactive because of the impact it would have. now law mccain is right on the trigger mechanism isn't written in stone it is the law but mccain and graham are simply not satisfied with a little old law there mccain told the cable he would introduce and support a law to undo the budget control act of two thousand and eleven lindsey graham said he would present a substitute to the triggers quote something where the whole country shares in the failure of the super committee not just the department of defense and medicare providers so i'm going to say that if these two men get away with this that would be a truly low point but i wasn't even sure that congress could reach it simply overturning laws so they don't look so they don't the laws they don't like excuse me instead of making the tough choices that's pathetic and sadly it's something that i guess we
6:37 pm
have just come to expect from our politicians but newsflash guys the debt deal was signed in august it's done these seemingly endless threats of people like john mccain lindsey graham are becoming ridiculous so stop the farm are going america will survive if the military takes a few cuts. and yesterday arizona state senator russell pearce at this point best known for authoring the state's s.b. ten seventy papers please immigration bill was recalled by voters it was a historic event for the state the first such recall and some a sign of the anti immigrant rhetoric and legislation has gone too far and won't be tolerated but it's still a far cry from the comprehensive immigration reform that this country needs and the recognition that this is a human issue when the divides families in fact we've reported to you before that under the obama administration four hundred thousand people a year are now being deported what happens to those that are left when you report by the applied research center is found that at least five thousand one hundred children whose parents are detained or deported are currently in foster care around
6:38 pm
the u.s. they're a freedom of information act request they found that almost one in four people to pour in the last year was the mother or father of a u.s. citizen and unfortunately reunification of the family is often not a success let's find out more about how and why this is happening joining me from our studio in new york is sets. investigative reporter for color lines that i want to thank you so much for joining us tonight. tommy when we look at this figure and say that five thousand one hundred children now live in foster care the parents have been deported is that a conservative estimate. yeah the applied research is reach search center found that there are at least five thousand children right now who are stuck in foster care because their parents have been detained and deported and that number could be significantly higher we our estimate is as conservative as it could be if it all remains the same in the coming years at least fifteen thousand kids are likely to
6:39 pm
be stuck in a similar situation and this is fundamentally a result of a deportation system that's deporting historic levels of people four hundred thousand people in the last year it is a massive number of people and that they collateral effects of that are just starting to be seen and one of those which we've explored in some depth at the applied research center and color lines magazine is that children are separated from their families for extended periods of time and sometimes permanently sometimes these children never see their parents again because they're stuck in foster care and they're moved towards adoption but let's talk about how it is that you know that even goes that far these kids do end up in foster care when a parent is detained and has to wait for deportation hearing isn't it also isn't the government trying to reunite the family isn't that part of their responsibility . when parents are detained in ice is immigration detention centers which are
6:40 pm
jails staggered around the country often in areas very far away from people's homes the average detainee is moved three hundred seventy miles from the place that they're initially to came when people are in these detention centers they're entirely cut off from the vital line of communication that's necessary between families and the child welfare system so when kids are in foster care and parents are locked up in these jails scattered around the country these immigration detention centers they can do nothing to be involved with the vital decisions about the care and custody of their children even i say is that if they're going to deport the parents they will let that parent make the decision about what happened so their child but what we've found is that that claim on ice is part is simply not happening all the time and something leases are being shattered permanently and
6:41 pm
these children are simply being or fit becoming foster children sometimes being adopted you know i met parents in detention centers around the country who had no idea where their children were and could do nothing about it they were facing the loss of their families and it's really heartbreaking to think about i'm just wondering whether attitudes that come from the ice agents from you know immigration or do they think that it's better off if the children stay in america and go into foster care than in sending him outside of the country i mean i understand a lot of them happen to be u.s. citizens and were born here but they think that it's better to leave them here. i mean what's really clear is that ice is operating under the working assumption that the people it detains don't have real robust lives and
6:42 pm
networks communities and families in the united states you know people who are deported have lived here often for a long time have deep ties here and have children and so there's a there's really a distinct disregard for that fact and children are suffering the consequences you know these children everybody in the who works in the child welfare system agrees that children are better off with their families no matter what then stuck in the foster care system these kids are stuck there i met i met a woman in detention in arizona who had called the local police to report domestic violence and instead of helping her the police arrested her and her abuser as too often happens her children were placed in foster care and she was moved to immigration detention now faces deportation her children remain in foster care that
6:43 pm
families facing the prospect of being permanently separated and and if she's deported policies and child welfare departments are really all over the map in terms of reunifying families when mothers and fathers have been deported so the barriers to reunification start to rise dramatically and are sometimes insurmountable now is that really best is unfortunately just one element of you know the sad saga what ends up happening because of our immigration laws on the books yesterday paris was recall when he was recalled then he now is famous for the one you know for being the one of. the line here is oh now you think about at least a good sign i mean i know it's not comprehensive immigration reform but is that a sign in the right direction. i think there's no doubt that people in arizona at least are beginning to see that a policy of so draconian show me your papers law that targets
6:44 pm
anybody who might be an immigrant with deportation is simply not something that should be happening in our state unfortunately those laws are spreading to other states and and they need to be stopped but what's very clear to me is that as long as the obama administration the federal government continues to deport four hundred thousand people a year or so many of which almost a quarter of which are of whom are our parents the collateral effects are going to be brutal and more and more children are going to be left stranded in foster care without their parents. something that needs to be highlighted market when you talk about it to really get to the point where we start solving the issues that thanks so much for joining us tonight thanks for having me on. after the con lawmaker goes on a rant screaming about her that is just great all of the pending big thank you from
6:45 pm
my full time there and then happy hour pedro a love story the story of a penny for this case for the couple was a local news report that is really i mean think back. to the police rocking it. was. nobody seems to know. that never a proper spray to face but the argument that they're being overly dramatic. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then something else and you
6:46 pm
hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything is ok. i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.
6:47 pm
mr. hi guys it's time for tonight's tool time awards night because to congressman joe walsh now since arriving in washington this year the illinois republican has made quite a mean for himself he was president obama of a lying during the national debt ceiling debate at the same time his ex-wife sued him saying that he owed more than one hundred thousand dollars in unpaid child support and of course he says those charges are untrue but the tea party candidate made voters a promise when running for office that he would come to the sea and rein in the government over the weekend joe is back in illinois doing one of his cup of joe
6:48 pm
meetings and during the discussion several people began questioning him about the need for more bank regulations and not just said joe right off. the marketplace that this mess created this mess for government which is still. for everybody you know. easy it's possible for. the marketplace goes. to what the government does the government sets the rules we don't believe in the marketplace for the mess we're in right now i'm tired of hearing that. it's so nice to see yet another republican standing up for the big banks according to joe they are completely blameless in this whole wrecking the world economy thing it was only the government never mind about the banks the last three to prove mortgages were just about anybody who have lived alone and the bankers bought and sold those toxic mortgages to investors like candy wall knowing that they were worth nothing but of course big big the wall street didn't have to
6:49 pm
worry because the u.s. taxpayers would have to bail them out now back to congressman joe walsh he wasn't done defending the banks he bristled at the notion that more government regulations are needed to stop the bad mortgage practices. this is me off too many people don't listen. to these in place they're already doing their job but what do you want to do you learn. more and more. hey joe maybe you should listen to the will of the rescreening at three years after the collapse of the us and world economy most of the same practices are still happening today congress passed the dodd frank reform bill but thanks to wall street lobbying it was watered down a lot of the same practices the ca the financial collapse are still going on more importantly it bails and the too big to fail era but according to congressman joe walsh that's ok because private industry is so good and government is so bad now last that i want to play for you i think proves my point about joe's temper
6:50 pm
listening as he scolds another constituent. you know why for why from what i see for a minute for me to ask you to leave. you this. morning ask you to leave. i don't know joe maybe instead of getting coffee how about an anger management class or two i could being questioned about his behavior joe said that he's just really passionate about the issue of hating government i was working on an empty stomach which made him have a quicker fuse the old empty stomach excuse god because we all know that both the government and the banks are to blame for the collapse of the financial system so for refusing to see any faults of private industry for the collapse as it were giving illinois congressman joe walsh tonight still time to work.
6:51 pm
ok guys time for happy hour and joining me this evening as arky correspondent christine brewer chief strategy officer at strategy thanks for joining me guys. so we've seen you know a lot of reporters go out there and try to do stories on dodge my movements across the country we've seen erin burnett just be you know total not nice lady about it. but this one i think really takes the cake for just being happy that you never had to do this story this comes from eureka california take a look. they took the bait. on the they owe someone from this camp spread feces and he on us did you put them in the rain alex someone put me on the bank sorry. keep trying you you're building on the point. chris here of the do that on your local newspaper you know what i was just going to
6:52 pm
say this is a perfect local story i was a love story like this i want to love him he does this story that had to do with a controversy and have the people that could be involved in the controversy right there at my disposal for me to stick their my microphone into their faces into their tents i mean this is a great local story people in eureka california and for any in any small town for that matter if they want to put their a.t.m. card. the a.t.m. machine to get cash out and there was poop all over and i think they want to know what this was about was about so i think it's a great local story but i think i think too big rules are broken here right one is that as a journalist you do want to become part of the story and one way to absolute become a story say poop and pee like four hundred times over and over again number two don't say poop in peta a bunch of occupy protesters who will immediately turn it into a chant is that a group did and they're repeating it over and over for the whole city to hear so i don't know i think i think this could handle probably a little more delicately is ripe and juicy no pun intended as the story and at the end of the day we never found out. on the bank still
6:53 pm
a mystery. ok now here's the present reason you keep coming up with all these stories you've got a lot of reporting on fracking you know this is the certain process that they used to drill for natural gas in and polluting a lot of water supplies to local populations or we've seen them be able to you know put their water on fire light like the water on fire so listen to what the natural gas companies are apparently this is a woman who was caught on. audio. yes. oh lordy. psyops in pennsylvania to convince people that fracking is good it's just so
6:54 pm
devious well i'll tell you i spent a lot of time in dimock pennsylvania which is a very very small city there where the entire city has been taken over by a company called cabot wheel and gas wanting to fracking everyone's yard and i don't know if they used to but i want to you guys really fracturing to get natural gas out of the ground. they are regular people a lot of them came to demonstrate retire many of them bought their homes hoping they would be able to sell those homes at a profit or at least the same their homes are at zero dollar value right now because the fracking water got into their water system and they don't have a water system that they can use that safe so i don't know if psyops was used but i can tell you that these every day people living in this rural town in pennsylvania do feel that they were told some lies by the oil and gas company they were told that they would make tons of money every time that their back yards were were
6:55 pm
drilled in and that's in help and so now we see commercials you know i'm t.v. trying to tell the whole world how wonderful. it happened although i by the way i do always feel bad for battlestar galactica fans who see these headlines about how fracking is good or you know and that kind of let them down and find out it's really about drilling for oil but i do think you know look this is the kind of thing that actually does happen all the time and the story here is that they got caught and this is something that a lot of the oil and gas are doing all over the world but when we hear that military operations are used technically against our own. and i didn't. hear a bit of clothes that were being called the insurgency that's right i mean it and i think really the surgeons now throw this one yeah this is the director actually we just move on to go to the how do you sort of. ok so you remember this story from yesterday to again. barack obama and nicolas sarkozy are now being quoted from a conversation they had about israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu the
6:56 pm
exchange was overheard at the g. twenty summit sarkozy reportedly said of netanyahu quote i can't stand him anymore he's a liar president obama then responded you may be sick of him but me i have to deal with him every day journalist ok so that was a little trash talking to my that shouldn't have but of course mitt romney has used this to criticize obama's overall israel policy like the statement he said at the moment a jewish state is isolated and under threat we cannot have an american president who is this day in full of our special relationship with israel we have here yet another reason why we need new leadership in the white house to be the same thing as if mitt romney had said you know i just i just can't stand to watch oprah every day and obama came out and said well clearly romney hates black america and soon are committed to helping them right i mean the republicans with anything they can put a stake in of any kind i think it's a good analogy i think i mean if you look at the most recent thing that happened president obama made very clear that the u.s. government those in washington do not support the palestinian bid for statehood for
6:57 pm
recognition that doesn't sound totally phony assertions when you're trying to say that he has this data we have to get to this next story really quickly is pick up please. they are never a part of the event that's together at night but zookeepers are about to break up this pair so that they can break with females as the species is on the brink of extinction. by the story of their cute gay penguins they're basically together they're having out together they're twenty one in ten years old and they're being separated so they could breed into the normal real law being broken time in twenty one that is some kind of structure cory's something going on their own doubtless they're learning for example or they just want to be together and you know what the last thought of gay penguins which was that i think the bronx zoo in new york they let them have they let them go to an abandoned egg and raised a little penguin. this and this is your little carry your mate is going to return it i got to wrap it up at a table in canada. there any tonight i've never tried to things are going to get me
6:58 pm
straight back tomorrow and like you lot of president bill of health will be on the show discussed the killing by cia means i'm going to get sick with band of you on it on facebook followers on twitter if you miss anything about youtube dot com plus the live show and coming up next. from los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand supermom is not enough inpatient beds not enough urgency department beds and not enough nurses commandoes desk to take care of all the people who 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 be a mask i started out wanting just to firefighting it's about eighty two percent of what we do the florida problem is medical but we had
6:59 pm
a rescue couple weeks ago we did four hours for it i've waited sometimes three hours but i was it's a same francis and living with her for hours and fifty minutes standing against a wall with patients and we have a federal law that mandates that you can't turn no one away who seeks care in the emergency room. we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least. culture is that so much of it spiritually i mean i think the position of a real estate is the hero of crisis without and euro zone leaders and national governments continue to be a blogger heads on how to rescue a currency. get off sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you blip something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything is
