and tonight so intel and despite all the talk of dangerous muslims living in the united states turns out we should probably be more wary of a different religious group or hospital all out with david sirota when we come back . the police read. what a protester nobody seems to know. but never a pepper sprayed the face but hardly 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 hears

you some other part of it and realize that everything is ok. i'm sorry welcome to the big.

mr. time now for so intel and i program a lot so we discussed the bloomberg report which detailed seven point seven trillion dollars in secret loans that the fed doled out to the banks in march of two thousand and nine they turned around and made a cool thirteen billion off so with bob franken been stronger in congress would have known the truth about the size of the federal reserve loans to us banks was going to produce producer treasonist i'd say to find out what you have to say. the stated goal of dodd frank was to make sure that the financial collapse of two thousand and eight could not happen again and while the bill did impose regulations

requiring largest banks to be able to survive the thirteen percent unemployment rate another twenty one percent drop in home values and if the two percent loss in stock markets did not address the concept of too big to fail leaving the banks larger than ever but if the federal reserve had not kept quiet about the seven point seven trillion dollars in loans totaling half the u.s. economy we might have seen how unsound the banks really work so when dodd frank has been stronger than it is today well tim davis said congress did not want to know the truth they were sucking the cash cow system and barely came had time to come up for a berth for said dodd frank should have been more harsh these bankers need to be sharing a cell with bernie made off now to lawyers said it would have made and it wouldn't have made any difference the majority of congress serves the big banks will putting on a kooky show for the citizens it was interesting to mention due to the seven point seven trillion the fed quietly loan to banks before dodd frank the banks made

a thirteen billion dollar profit and now they're complaining that dodd frank crime is had made it harder for them to loan money to americans the very people who bailed them out. and as always we appreciate your responses and here's our next question earlier in the show we spoke about occupy wall street protesting democratic functions of the country from an obama fundraiser last night in new york city plans to protest the ploesti fund raiser in washington d.c. so do you think it's a good move for us to be protesting politicians who have expressed support for their movement let us know what you think on facebook twitter and you tube who knows your response just like making me. believe it's a congressional republicans to really buckle down and fight for the things that are important to them keeping taxes low on the wealthy and shilling for the oil industry and the fight over the keystone pipeline is no exception after tens of thousands of people flooded into washington d.c.

over the past several months in protest the obama administration has delayed its decision regarding the construction of the keystone pipeline but the republicans are on it they've come up with a workaround yesterday republican senator richard lugar lugar proposed a bill that would override the obama administration's review of the social and environmental impact of the pipeline the bill would put an end to the state department review so the trans canada can start building the pipeline a.s.a.p. it would require the obama administration to approve the pipeline within sixty days and put a stop to for the review i think about it is that while trans canada agreed to reroute around the nebraska sandhills no one actually agreed on what the new route would be no one knows how significant it will be where it will go so the republicans want to force obama to give the oil company his stamp of approval on good faith because we all know how trustworthy multinational oil corporations are so not only with the bill simply go around all of the proper reviews of the state department it would make sure that all of the thousands and thousands of people who

stood up against the pipeline of farmers the landowners the environmentalist are silence so thank senator lugar for once again choosing the welfare of oil companies over that of the american people. and relations between the united states and pakistan seem to have reached a new low that this after nato forces accidently killed at least twenty four pakistani soldiers now pakistan is taking action kicking u.s. aircraft out of the country and closing off supply routes the relationship between the two countries is already rocky after the u.s. in a raid to capture and kill osama bin laden now the pakistani prime minister warns there will be no more business as usual with washington so are ties between the u.s. and pakistan on the brink of breaking our correspondent takes a closer look at that strained relationship. and relationships are never easy but when it comes to the partnership between america and pakistan the sugardaddy of

this geo political alliance has turned out to be islamic most dangerous friend in a post nine eleven world pakistan joined forces with the u.s. in the war on terror receiving roughly eighteen billion dollars in return over the past ten years yet hundreds of the civilians have been killed in u.s. drone strikes targeting terrorists most recently nato had to admit it killed two dozen pakistani soldiers. and this said protestors onto the streets of islamabad torquing and effigy of president barack obama burning american flags and demanding an immediate divorce from its american partner this is hardly the first time the pakistani sovereignty has been infringed by the united states is not the first time but pakistani citizens have been killed by the united states and its allies it seems to be the case now the united states

regards pakistan as a kind of free fire zone in which. two. countries. with no need for poetry or address need know has called the incident tragic and an intended promising to investigate the killings the pakistani government has demanded the u.s. viki an airbase used for drone attacks it's also closed a vital u.s. military supply route to afghanistan a third to one half of all supplies that go to the nato forces go through pakistan so this is going to have a major impact there's no question about it the biggest rift between the two countries came six months ago when the u.s. violated pakistani sovereignty to assassinate osama bin ladin we've lost respect because people now fear the united states because we're like a drunken person will go to war anywhere if you threaten us but now stands prime

minister has come out and said there would be no more business as usual with washington there are clear choices pretty problematic by historically speaking either to expand and comment or point of a problem is not going to be a door it can be good with world war and i want to go and warning everyone pakistan has been america's main ally in the region for decades but constant abuse of the partnership by the u.s. has driven a wedge between the two when he believes that pakistan's case highlights that a u.s. bearing gifts while later stop at nothing to get what it wants are enough for nigh on r.t. new york. just thought i had on the cell one zero p. presidential candidate proof that he has a big press problem he's held his night full time segment and on time for happy hour jon huntsman's daughters are carrying

a new tune and the department of justice is out with anti-piracy videos on the right. people to bring justice or. i have a right to know what my government should do if you want to know why i think taxes . i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. a story that seems so you think you understand it and then. you saw the part of it and realized everything you. are welcome to the big picture.

the police corruption of. what a protest that nobody seems to know. but never appropriate

to face but the argument that they're being overly dramatic. all right it's time for tonight's tool time award and we're giving it to one of the republican presidential candidates mitt romney often comes off as the adult in the room out of the g.o.p. candidates for president but this impression doesn't come from his time in front of the media because he doesn't really talk to them outside of the debate but romney did make an exception for fox news and bret baer earlier this week unfortunately is one on one interview during special report was special for all the wrong reasons so i got his response to bret on the topic of immigration. they should not be allowed to stay in this country and be given permanent residency or citizenship merely

because they come here illegally what is their word gingrich is saying excuse me i don't want it i can't it is a shy kid tell you what speaker gingrich is say you might call it aggressive but what if he's going to do what i believe he said he was going to do but i don't know whether they were they apply here or the applied by going home i think i've said the past i think it makes more sense for them to go. romney got stripped out quite a bit and he was so upset after the interview was over that he complains repeatedly to wrap their about his line of questioning. you thought it was overly aggressive here you said that if you you know he said it was overly aggressive he did well and as we were walking the walk and talk and then after we finished. when she was holding room and then came back and said he didn't like the interview and thought it was uncalled for. yikes and keep in mind romney was complaining about a fox news interview imagine if someone who wasn't the mouthpiece of the republican

party the one on one so i'm sorry to break it to you but that's what this is a job of the press is to grill you on your stance about important issues like immigration you've got to be able to vouch for your actions even if you are the ultimate flip flopper and like i said before romney could be just a little rusty as he hasn't dedicated much time to answering any questions from the press this time around according to the having to impose he hasn't sat down with the washington newspaper since june of two thousand and seven and he hasn't given any in-depth interviews with magazines like time or newsweek which he did quite often in two thousand and eight and he also just totally ignores the sunday morning chat shows he is quite adamant in his refusal to answer the questions of the press and check out how he blows off this reporter when he was greeting floridians. we are still to discover the area mostly where she's going to be able to go to the coverage was our money where your work in the church of the world right now there

is a thorough answer no not just a straightforward answer on anything and it's important to note the myth doesn't give press conferences every day his last one was on nov twenty third turns out romney has become so good at avoiding cameras and microphones that he's forgotten how to answer the president's questions regardless this is going to be a big problem down the road if he actually intends on being the republican presidential nominee so for thinking he can win the primaries just by shaking hands and looking good and not giving interviews on his intentions and his agenda mitt romney is tonight's tool time winner. all right it's time now for happy hour joining me as lauren lyster host of capital account of kit right here on r.t. and of course jim hansen retired special operations master sergeant and military

blogger at black five dot net all right guys a lot to talk about tonight what's going on so washington cops raided a store right here in d.c. i think it's called capitol hemp this was back in october and during that raid they saw a d.v.d. they didn't really like it was called ten rules for dealing with police according to police if it's a store that you know is in a store that promotes promotes the use of drugs but the d.v.d. became a tool in their mind for deceiving a law enforcement i want to show you guys. the recruits to the outside closes the door behind her but it seems we've probably we just need to do a required routine check now everything's ok inside could you go ahead and let us take a look everything's under control officers like i know your vote is doing their jobs but without a search warrant i can't let you inside. all right so what do you guys think is

knowing your rights you call deceiving law enforcement but i think knowing your rights in a bomb shop is suspicious that's what this is about this isn't a bomb they were saying that i was a problem with the denying sold in the i agree that you know i have always err on the side of you know citizens that you shouldn't police brutality is a problem police overstepping their rights is a problem but i think to equate this with deceiving police with having this bunk with this video is a little bit disingenuous because it was a child but i was kid you would bomb. excuse me this was a water pipe shop where they smoke medicinal tobacco. perhaps by the way is used in clothing and other items that there is it's happened gong this bond and pipes for the bottom line regardless of where the d.v.d. was it was about personal rights individual rights the bill of rights foundations of our democracy bottom line the cops were way out of work they put this in an affidavit as a reason to suspect people that we know that was the third and it was conspiratorial

in there and i mean to make that jump in logic is like just absurd but i also think that to make the jump in logic this is just about this d.v.d. and knowing you're right i think it's a little disingenuous but the point in the affidavit was a very good job of it was noted on the d.v.d. being in a bomb shot and also being a parent of. the second amendment you know let's go because it's going to take that and use it against the bone shop owners now ok they're going to do first of. this police i think that's a little strange let's move on now let's move on to a church in kentucky this one really gets me in the search band in a racial couples from being members of the church participating in services other than funerals these new rules came a while back after a woman who was a number of the church brought her black fiance she played the piano he's saying

the pastor got married let's hear was yesterday. very. very. all right so this is two thousand and eleven it's a small town in kentucky. but this pastor has banned interracial couples from becoming members and participating in services and as of said they didn't even say it was about god they were like this is not about salvation this is about making everybody comfortable or something like that so it's not even about their stance on religion it's about being racist bottom line the pastor is a jerk to people who stood up for jerks but in america we have a long history of rights about that we have freedom of religion if you want to go to a kooky church you can go because of obama's complete pastor so that the government invented. genocide against people of color well these you know you want to users the church because the next one if you're in a racial couple you can smell it and it's legal it's just stupid well and you know

what it is even there. ok you know gone out of this but the reality is that they're in this is kind of like a glimmer of hope story because there are nine people voted for this proposal so there were nine people to vote according evidently like one hundred had been outraged at the fact that this is going on so that is a good sign that people are on the right side i think it's also important regardless to remember that these small towns in these small church is still exists today albeit in small towns in kentucky but it is important almost churches giant and it's in chicago and there is recess everywhere there are races and there are good and sad as it is and what i think i'm going to see if they might just get more than fifteen people to vote on a proposal in total and general all right guys it's music time sing along time we have a special song for you this is from republican presidential candidate jon huntsman's daughters is beautiful daughters according to a lot of guys in this country and i'll just let the song speak for itself.

so. it's. all right so these same hundred huntsman twenty twelve girls they also did a parody of the herman cain smoking they're trying to utilize social media what do you guys think about this song you know i think that huntsman is just trying to pick out his daughters and this is a whole new level of it that's in some third. of all come on the song make you cringe just go in there hi jim vote does it make it right first of all i'd like to speak that i was just in terms. of i really believe that the huntsman girls bring you some fresh life into his two thousand and six. nobody covering in fact the back to the g.o.p. campaign that's impossible i mean look at that one so you think he's trying to. say you see him on that mean i mean think about it though i mean getting young voters

to come out and vote especially for a republican after so many of them came out and vote for president obama last time around i mean don't you think i mean you use the word pimping but don't you think it's kind of smart for him to utilize his hot daughters to help get votes i didn't say i wasn't smart i just said it was helping them out i'm just who is jon huntsman who is i don't know you don't know who is but you could identify his daughter is going to line up or at least it always gets the center of thought. come on all right well moving on we all know that buying pirated movies is illegal but this next public service announcement from the national crime prevention council really takes that message to the next level. these real.

last labor is very intense yeah i know it's ridiculous i would way rather have them have a commercial on wal-mart telling them not to buy cheap goods because of child labor because i feel like there are probably affects more child labor as intellectual property this skip the last one on the. gang violence because the crips and bloods we all know are hugely pirated d.v.d.'s they don't sell crack they sell pirated d.v.d.'s absolutely i mean what is that what's really behind this who loses out when pirated only these are all iraq and the only what is behind this i don't think in this day and by i mean i know we are thinking the same thing and it's not even thought i mean hollywood is very much for any kind of anti-piracy laws of hate you know they might want to throw google into this ad because google is opposed to that because of issues that it brings out what searching would be life so it's a much more complex issue than gangs and child labor if only it was so flashy it's

like they're going to get funding and overwrought and i really wish the government seriously would have put the graph out there again he's a lot better than our drug gangs and the other people they have how to love mcgruff the crime dog i remember when he came into my third grade class was tough on crime is that you have to have a term at least it was an emotionally compelling raith the ad so that's nice m.t.v. style cuts to the show. but they said i got the charlie we're out of it that was. all right as i know that alone often talks about a fox news in their war on christmas they're supposedly war on christmas and they forget the next topic i just show you a little clip from a few years ago bill o'reilly's assessment on how this war on christmas is going. few years ago was very hard to find kompany that actually said merry christmas to the carpenters to their customers i should say but that has changed partially because of the factors coverage. well it turns out is war christmas night of words

because the latest rasmussen survey showed that seventy percent of americans prefer stores that actually say merry christmas as opposed to happy holidays now i don't know i thought about this and i don't think i notice i think if it either says sale or if there's something shiny or glimmering i go inside i don't notice but maybe for some conscious think maybe mary years. back to the shop you know. and i don't know i mean you're right but but it was interesting to think about and i made me wonder i mean is this some sort of subconscious thing that merry christmas feels a little warmer and i said i don't know i guess i'm in the minority because i think it's kind of close minded to say merry christmas people you know there's a lot of different religions a lot of different holidays that are celebrated i think i've become much more accustomed to having happy holidays just. i think you get it done well there's definitely a large group of people who think taking christ over christmas is important and making it a secular holiday is a viable cause i think that's why it is

a religious holiday but the bottom line is consumers in america and people are seeing in places it's likely to lure shoppers you know i don't think it's about the guy in the red suit. the red nose ring. and we're not. going to scare away now i just thought it was really interesting that made such a difference but apparently bill o'reilly once again is winning or bill o'reilly for this week including ari i think you can think it's a legacy of christmas it's been around for a while. jim thanks so much for coming on. all right and that's going to do it for tonight so thanks for tuning in and make sure to come back tomorrow the wall street journal's kelly evans on the show to discuss the jobs report due out tomorrow and chris novoselic bassist and co-founder of the band ivana the our last. the studios talking about his support for the occupy wall
