and it seems so for life you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here sees some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard welcome to the big picture. i'm learning mr.

police corruption and. nobody seems to know. that never break the face but hardly argument that they're being overly dramatic. all right guys it's time for you said it i read it take time to respond to my brilliance and engaging viewer comments from facebook twitter and you tube because we've got something to say i listen now part on respond of your that watched our interview with trevor tim over at the f.s.f. or the government's victory in court which will force twitter to hand over the information of wiki leaks volunteers red fingers said this is not twitter's fault

twitter has been one of the few websites to contest the secret subpoenas that are being issued out all over the place and in addition they're one of the few that actually informed their users about the practice as the commentator mentions they actually inform the users that were having their i.d. taken it accordance with a court order which was obviously legally binding to twitter and they took that issue to court which means they did the best they could now i think our viewers every right that twitter has been one of the only tech companies to actually fight the government's attempts to gain access to user information and for that they should be commended but there is a little bone that i have to take with them that they chose to store their users ip information for eighteen months in the first place and they continue to do so as only makes it easier for the government asked for more personal information about more users so twitter might save itself and its users more privacy battles in court if it changes its own policies or next i want to respond to dave who watched an interview about the defeat of several republican measures in elections across the country last wednesday he said corporate personhood is one of the top major

problems in the u.s. it perverts the entire system even with occupy wall street isn't being debated or talked about enough yet and i definitely think the influence of money and politics in the corruption that it grieves isn't talked about enough i've spoken extensively about the citizens united decision is decision on the show and other media personalities people like dylan ratigan jane huger they've tried to raise awareness about getting money out of politics too but despite those attempts or personal. it still remains and we need to see it more concrete steps to changing that reality and i for one think that it's time that americans stand up get serious about tackling that issue starting with a constitutional amendment overturning the citizens united decision and finally i want to respond to the viewer who tweeted out this government flew to we did thank you very much alone of the alone a show for your comments about us veterans out here felt more real than those of us and reporters just like to say thank you so much for watching there really isn't nearly enough coverage out there in my opinion about the issues that veterans face

as consequences of our politicians constantly wanting more war so please continue to watch and i'll continue to bring my best efforts at covering what matters to the veterans my ranting tonight i'll be back with more later in the week as usual. i think it's fairly clear at this point that the banks will do just about anything to take your money and if this last month the news doesn't prove that then i don't know what does and perhaps the lowest of the low we brought you the news earlier this month the banks like j.p. morgan wells fargo and bank of america are making billions in fees off of those who receive government assistance and partake in social programs like food stamps through their exclusive deals with the government's huge goal out the aid on debit cards debit cards which they then charge excessive fees on but that was just the tip of the iceberg last week we reported on the landmark settlement where bank of america was ordered to pay stemming from a class action lawsuit after it became clear the bank was manipulating the processing of purchases to get more and overdraft fees on the settlement all

a step in the right direction was when i got ten percent of the money you could actually made off of their shady practices so then we thought that perhaps there was another win for consumers and bank of america and others out there scrap their plans to charge a five dollars debit fee after a lot of public outrage that somehow we knew they were going to stop there they had billions in revenue to make up for so now it looks like several banks of just scrap the whole idea of publicly announcing their fees all together some estimate of the banks have about eight to twelve billion dollars in annual gap that they usually get through those hidden fees from customers financial consulting firm all over wyman says that now banks need to get about fifteen to twenty dollars per month for each customer to keep their earnings in an expected level so what are they keeping secrets that you should know for example bank of america is charging five dollars if you need to replace your last debit card you want to posit a check in to your account from your mobile device well that's going to carry a fifty cent feed per check at u.s. bank or now if you belong to t.d.

bank and you're getting money wired to your account that's going to cost you fifteen dollars some of banks also raise the fees for the regular checking accounts chase is now charging twelve dollars a month citi group went to eight from eight to ten dollars a month and bank of america. by three dollars a month earlier this year now other banks say that those fees are on necessary insist that they're very transparent about their charges two democratic senators are making it known that they're fed up with the practices dick durbin and jack reed of called on the consumer financial protection bureau to adopt a format that would disclose hidden fees in a consumer friendly format and a statement they say simply put consumers have had enough of banks to try to sneak these past them that are hidden in fine print or imposed with no notice at all and we should also know that those who consider themselves good customers are getting screwed by the banks to banks are lowering the rates to get paid out to customers they keep the money in their accounts market rate inside a financial market research firm says the average interest rate for deposit accounts of fall into seven point seven four percent of the decrease in the point

eight percent held earlier this year that might seem like a small pain for consumers but it turns out that's going to save the banks one point five billion dollars a month so just let this be a lesson to customers out there always read the fine print and might protect you from those hidden fees until the government might come up with another round of regulations to protect consumers money. now the f.c.c. the indecency regulations out of touch in unconstitutional and our changing world of the cato institute the center for democracy and technology public knowledge tech freedom and the electronic frontier foundation are asking the supreme court to say the five groups filed an amicus brief last week asking the high court to extend full first amendment protection to broadcast media and overturn the one thousand nine hundred decision as the sievers pacific and the original case was famously known because comedian george carlin's monologue about the seven words that you can never say on television was broadcast on the radio and supreme court use the fine against pacifica because broadcast media was quote uniquely pervasive and uniquely

accessible to children but today with more and more people turning to the internet streaming satellite you name it and a new case going back to the supreme court and versus fox does that argument still stand here discussing it means doing sanchez research fellow at the cato institute joined thanks so much for being here tonight it was a pleasure all right so i get a little backstory here in terms of the original supreme court ruling here with the george carlin case but let's talk about this new case one it's already been the supreme court in the case of fox and why it's coming back up you can see the second circuit basically invalidated the f.c.c. regulations on first grounds for vagueness after the supreme court should kick it back to them on a technicality here is that the rules don't really give broadcasters a clear sense of what's allowed and what's not and it's clear through this is how the chilling effect on for example news gathering of cases of local news stations deciding that they can't do a live event coverage or in one case cover the funeral of holeman because they

weren't they were confident that they could avoid a really cute of f.c.c. fines if you know if they slipped and let it slip on the air ironically the second circuit decision could not be read on the air on broadcast television because it contains in the opinion a word that rhymes with duck. so. question now though i mean if it isn't part of the problem because it wasn't just these seven words that are outlined but they ended up expanding because otherwise it doesn't seem all that big of you have that exact words to follow or to avoid the problem is that there's any any form of indecency that you know ordinary person would find shocking when it's this is the problem is that it's it's very difficult to know in advance you know exactly what's behind it it makes it very difficult again to do live television even if you have you know a sense of clearly what's prohibited some things are presumptively it does create a burden on stations they're trying to air why defense and so the vagueness issue is is what the second circuit decided they decided not to overturn that george

carlin decision but what a lot of groups including cato urging the court to do here is what the supreme the second circuit wasn't going to do because they go by that decision but he has time at this point i think when ninety percent of households that have a t.v. are getting it their content through satellite or. or cable and through things like program or as well to ask what does it really make sense to have this totally different regime for governing broadcast as though it were you know the fifty's or the sixty's when yeah you know that was the only way you're going to get video content in your home you know it's pretty clear at this point that if we tried to impose these kinds of regulations on cable or on the internet that would plainly be unconstitutional so the question is does it make sense and twenty eleven for broadcast t.v. to be carved out of progress he carved out is this sort of special constitution free zone ok so. knowing our supreme court here actually now we'll get back to that

question but first here saying to you basically just wanted to be a free for all right anything can be said well anything can be said in terms of the law on cable but that doesn't mean you're going to turn on the disney channel and your people you know swearing like you like harvey i tell you the main reason most channels on most programs don't you know just turn into h.b.o. lou. broadcasting is that most people don't want to hear that they merely want to know what kind of content they're going to get and they have a huge number of options now to regulate that i mean parents who read about their kids you know program their t.v.'s or program leave their t.v. ours to only our allow access without a password to you know the disney channel nickelodeon and p.b.s. if that's what they want their kids to so the idea that you know that that either there's no way to limit kids' access to stuff that's friendly for kids or that somehow you know without the law every station is just going to sound like an episode of the wire doesn't make sense but it's a do you think if you look at trends because you're saying now not everybody just

sits down and watches t.v. in their living room you have so many other options out there you have the internet but are those areas that we're going to see continue to be these free zones and broadcast media is going to stand on its own if this decision is no rules or are those areas where slowly we're going to see certain. similar encroachments speaking this is an area where really every time it's come up the court has been pretty good about slapping down restrictions of saying basically look you can take a general speech zone and say we'll need protecting kids no one may speak in a way that is that is only acceptable to there's not a lot of that is up to the private companies right let's say you tube or somebody like that they want to put out that information there if they want to if they want to bring a video down it's because they have their own personal policy about what they can sure and then i think make sense you know decide what a particular website or a particular channel a policy that matches what you think is appropriate for your kids and then you you

know you look at what is ok for them and you don't look at the things that you know you don't think are appropriate ok so looking at the supreme court the type of decisions that it's made that are do you think it's going to say go ahead curse on t.v. all you want because that's your first amendment right i think is actually a decent chance even looking at the decision where they kicked it back down to the . to the circuit court there to the people's court there was a strong sense that they were sort of saying well does it mean does it make sense anymore to have this special asymmetry even i actually we're seeing it at an event . for if you see here in kabul that was part of this crackdown on fleeting expletives at an event once he was no longer chairman basically admitted that as a constitutional matter this different treatment just didn't make sense anymore all right well i'm i'm on your side here i'm with kato as i like trying to hear about a nation and i would like to see the supreme court rule in our way because i'm creating a full outdated and there are many ways to protect your children if you don't want

washington certain things here. all right thanks for joining us tonight. all eyes are on the super committee to find out who's going to be facing the worst sort of budget cuts but it looks like we're not going to know what's on the chopping block for quite a while. and then happy hour obama stops an eighth accusation and calls on yet another political daughter to join the chorus on it for. him to. do the work to bring justice for. all i have a right to know what my government would want to know why i think. i would characterize the obama as the charismatic. of american exceptionalism.

you know sometimes you see a story. you think you understand it and then you know here's some other part of it and realized everything you thought you know i'm sorry it was a big. blow to the counseling i'm more in this for.

you to believe. what a test nobody seems to know. but never appropriate to face quite hard the argument that they're being overly dramatic. our guys it's time for tonight's tools are awarded tonight because of the super committee members in congress now just about a week and a half the super committee must announce their plan to get a one point two trillion dollars from the deficit and it appears that they are far from an agreement and if no deal is reached the automatic triggers are going to trigger we're going to take it social programs the democrats level face cuts while

the republican sacred cow defense spending well also be slashed now even though the font of these cuts is largest and truly pathetic maneuvering from both sides about the debt deal each side is feeding the media their talking points claiming a bay are really really trying to reach a compromise. republican saying that they have given sound by adding revenue to the table bringing in more money to the government by getting rid of some deductions but they also want to see tax rates be lowered for all americans democrats are saying it has been a painful process for them to get entitlements. all right so while the media is reporting on the negotiations kind of isn't the real story here of curse we knew that some members of congress like john mccain were trying to scrap the trigger so there would be no punishment for not coming to a deal but now they've got an even flying your plan is he some lawmakers on capitol hill are now suggesting that the issue can be resolved by using a budget gimmick

a favorite of washington politicians in fact washington has a very rich history of using fake math to make it look like congress actually did their job so democrats say to the supercommittee should count the money of the u.s. will not be spending on the wars in iraq and afghanistan as savings south carolina congressman james clyburn said over the weekend we believe and the cvo believes that there is around nine hundred and seventeen billion to be saved over the next ten years from the overseas contingency account and we ought to count that i mean really i'm calling of b.s. on calling that savings how can ninety of us never actually planned to spend be considered savings the u.s. is pulling troops out of iraq by the end of the year president obama is planning to bring troops home from afghanistan over the next couple of years as was always plant so how is that by any means considered savings this is just typical of lawmakers here in washington instead of solving the problem they use a gimmick to kick the can down the road and let somebody else solve the issue i think you'll remember that president obama did this exact same thing use the exact

same trillion dollars in september when he released his deficit plan harry reid also did the same thing back in july and republican congressman paul ryan's budget in april also included those exact same war savings so it's truly amazing on sundays to me that this country actually functions we have wincing congress and simply use lies and tricks to repair the bacon lead and make any decisions that are going to affect us all last month in new york times poll found that congress had a nine percent approval rating personally i think that might be too high and so now the supercommittee wants to use a gimmick to avoid budget cuts because they can't agree on what to cut. so that's why we're giving them this totally but that it super committee tonight's tools and award. ok guys it's time for happy hour and joining me tonight is r t producer jenny

churchill and tanya sama native reporter and blogger for think progress dot org hello ladies thank you for joining me happy monday. first of all bill o'reilly has a new book come out it's about how america changed out of the assassination of abraham lincoln and here i'll let him have it and sell for you. going to see this book surprised me it's a lot different from your other books it's a terrific read thank you and you're really go into your roots as a history teacher i am i taught history for a couple years in a rough neighborhood in miami florida there and you know i was always fascinated by abraham lincoln i think but for the way he's the gold standard. write the bill o'reilly's to be a history teacher but it turns out unfortunately there's a little book of his contains a lot of factual errors and misrepresentations and so basically what's happened is of the four theaters said that we're not going to sell it because it's actually inaccurate and we he actually responded right before the show which is pretty good

he told politico the attack on his book is a concerted effort by people who don't like to diminish the book he said we will understand our enemies are full of rage at our success when we think. i mean you know it kind of gives you a clue right when you're reading around chapter three it says colonel mustard picked up the candle stick and after a little kind of like what are the facts he's really missing here. ok to be fair there are a few a few things there there's really only four error that have been identified which actually isn't that much for a book i mean if you've ever read a first edition book there's they're always riddled with at least grammatical errors which he claims two of the four are. and then on top of that it is a read what he wanted to read in the lincoln peter yeah he had a couple of dates wrong you have the date wrong with the league of theater burned down have that run and then you have the oval office thing wrong because you know he was doing this yeah right exactly you know there are but i'm blanking on it right now the other thing is i love that this is such an outrage it's not being

sold for theater but it is being sold it for theater because it's being sold on the first floor of the four theater just not in the basement or theater gift shop which apparently is run by someone else. maybe it's the fault line of things like the brain or the doing well but for some reason i just get a little bit of joy of thinking that bill o'reilly face wrote history books that have actual or historical errors and it will be going to write. to me and i really want to get that. high standard you know they have a bottle and a coloring book that apparently are more accurate than his books so you know. all right let's see what his next. which is going on in hawaii and they have this little tradition and usually all the leaders we have a couple pictures will dress in a national outfit and so obama had joked i think you can see there's one from

sydney australia there's the vietnam and it's always a great picture moment more vietnam what else do we have shanghai so everybody was looking forward to this year obama had said before when they first announced it would be. why if you're going to wear hawaiian t. shirts and they just don't use nick stick he basically said i told them if they wanted to they could wear but we're not doing that picture anymore that's no fun. but i was a lie and shirts were more representative florida than it was of hawaii so i thought maybe his decision and if that was right i mean the retirement costume give me something i was actually really shocked that this morning when i turned on fox and friends that i didn't see you know obama's war on costumes the war on aloha i mean i just i was really disappointed they really dropped the ball there because he's clearly waging a jihad against the war on a lie are like not one i actually heard that they did take a picture in kenya but they refused to release the negative. long part but.

i'm just leaves a point you know i thought it was a little more fun that i expected a little more out of obama all right so we've spent a good part of the beginning of the show basically bragging on the g.o.p. presidential contenders and how much they suck it and how silly and ridiculous and scary they sound when it comes to foreign policy and herman cain i think probably by far it takes the cake when it comes to the guy that clearly just does know anything and so we saw everyone making baking baking baking stand close a million times here's a new one where he was being questioned about libya take a look. president obama. supported the all roads program. i do not agree with you from. the center for more.

or he would you. know that is my absolute favorite. soundbite ever because it is literally that moment when you're in you're taking a test in high school and you have no idea what the answer is and you go up to your teacher and you're like i'm going to see the question like three different times in different tones and see if i get anywhere near like he's just waiting for them to give them the answer they are at least a little him but i know that he's like we did there only does differently now is a different if i come online and i just daughter's you really want to be the president is libya it's not that hard hi guys these are clearly gotcha questions like what is your position where is would be what's today's date these are all incredibly difficult i mean herman cain o'barr but among well i think what this proved to me actually off the bat was that he clearly doesn't watch the show because you know yes he did he would definitely novello be

a great herman cain would be much better informed on foreign policy if you watched the show could point. ok lastly. chill think clinton is now going to be joining and beefeater report on making a difference to look. chelsea clinton is trending on news that the former first daughter has been hired by n.b.c. as a correspondent for the nightly news or throwing williams clinton will contribute to the making of different series drawing on her background in nonprofit work to tell stories about people and institutions that are helping others. all right so obviously a lot of people are annoyed it today because you just said well if you're the former president's daughter the i can't and you know you just call up a network executive and be like you know going on t.v. and calling myself a journalist today as i told you i mean maybe recall that was d.c. you know you could have been off with one thing i feel like we have pundit another when they're treating you like you're a reporter he was making mccain goes on but she's she's

a pundit and she's our holier than thou just hire her kind of a porter recently i'm getting off and he was right all the pain is god i'm thinking i don't know about this issue i have with this so we're at a time where people are so frustrated and feel like government and corporations don't understand them so what do we do you know we hire someone that has absolutely no clue how to be a normal person you have not been to north person anything your entire life chelsea clinton and her paul you bring up you know the right i mean it's just ridiculous it's absolutely ridiculous seafarer you shoot to be the president's daughter and she chose to never speak to press ever and to be totally unrelated bowl to every person in america she was did work for hedge fund now she's going to be a reporter and if she becomes a politician i mean she really rounds out the hating are you going to get a record of sorry of course we thank for joining me tonight out there tonight show thanks for tuning in make sure they come back tomorrow rafferty's hearing x. is going to back on the program the singer says his song about occupy wall street

meantime follow us on twitter facebook you tube dot com slash the lot of shale and coming up next is the news. you know. i have a right to know what my government would want to know why i think taxes. but i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for sleep you think you understand it and then something else you hear see some other part of it and realize that everything is. part of the big picture.

the police corruption and. nobody seems to know.
