student debt bubble so we asked what do you think that schools and governments across the country can do to address that sort of producer for treason to send you to find out what you have to say. while the governor of california wants to shift a two point four billion dollars of the state budget from classrooms to other spending and raise university tuition missouri governor jay nixon wants to reduce funding to universities by twelve point five percent and as as universities not to hike up to wish it now states are continuing to take away funding for public universities all while student loan debt now reaches more than one trillion dollars now students in california came up with an idea to turn of the notion of college tuition on its head. before go to wishin if they agree to pay five percent of income for the next twenty years after they graduate and this sort of innovation got us think it what else could states do to deal with the growing debt bubble as money for education continues to dry up now let's see what our viewers had to say for alan thompson he said how about corporate sponsored scholarships the one

percent has all the money let them pay for the employee degrees now occupy wall street thomas told us the money used to fund our wars could be used to fund whole wishin instead and cindy free said remove all interest and fees every student loans back to the original amount then kept the interest and fees for life with a look now everyone seems to agree someone radical needs to do something to ease the pressure on college students and graduates in an already bad economy let's just hope lawmakers are ready and willing to listen. now as always we appreciate your responses and here's our next question for you earlier in the show we spoke to colonel lawrence wilkerson about the g.o.p. presidential candidates and their views on cuba and the lone exception of ron paul they are all in favor of maintaining sanctions and travel restrictions on the country so what do you think at the time we lift sanctions on cuba and so on facebook twitter and you tube and who knows your response just might make you know nick. well yes. the supreme court weighed in on the latest fourth amendment case to

come before that and one of the most important also see back in november the justices agreed to hear a case involving the federal government placing g.p.s. trackers on the cars of people with interest of interest without obtaining a warrant now we've spoken at length about this issue here on the show something that we see as a clear fourth amendment violation and we've also spoken about the disturbing trend of police violating people's rights to privacy and in many cases getting the courts on their side take for example the case of yasser is a muslim american who found one of these truckers on his car and immediately suspect that the government was keeping tabs on him for no other reason than his heritage makes me feel like they're treating me like a terrorist or criminal and there are giving me my my rights as an american citizen i was born and raised here so i feel different are a nice feeling. now yasir is case is different than the one that was heard by the supreme court this specific case united states versus jones revolves around a suspected cocaine dealer that was being tracked over an extended period of time

so attorneys for jones said that his conviction should be thrown out because the feds attached the g.p.s. tracker outside of the initial warrant period of twenty eight days that was when the government could legally follow jones to use appeals courts came up with different decisions for the supreme court ruled that the use of a g.p.s. device to monitor one suspects car over an extended period of time qualifies as a search under the fourth amendment so in other words the government's desire to track somebody for a long period of time is classified as a search which under law requires a warrant all nine justices were in agreement on this decision but with different reasons why they came to that outcome justice scalia explained the majority opinion that electronic surveillance if achieved without trespassing on the suspected person's property could count as an unconstitutional invasion of privacy but here's the part that really bugs me he goes on to say that the present case doesn't require the justices to answer that question so yeah this is good news but really we. were hoping the justices would take this opportunity to weigh in on the

constitutionality of the use of the tracking device itself sadly it looks like they took the easy way out opting not to decide if the trapper's an r. and unlawful invasion of a person's right to privacy but rather saying that in this instance specifically it constitutes a search of a small victory here and the slap in the face of this ruling brings the obama administration they justify the questionable tracking techniques and defended their actions based on an one nine hundred eighty three court case where the supreme court allowed the government to use trackers without a warrant for one single trip but this time around the justices agreed that the government was overstepping their bounds because they were tracking the suspect twenty four hours a day for twenty eight days straight now before you get too excited about the ruling despite its weakness you will have a lot of disappointing news for your privacy from a court out of colorado for you tomorrow so let's just say that passwords are no longer all that safe. well n.b.c.'s republican debate last night we once again

heard a lot about the issue of immigration only at this debate we heard a little less about building a gigantic fence to keep everyone out and a little bit more about getting those that are already here out and then mitt romney throughout this word. the answer is self deportation which is people decide that they could do better by going home because they can't find work here because they don't have legal documentation to allow them to work here and so we're not going to round people up. now self deportation in and of itself sounds a little bit like an oxymoron but a lot of people say that if the term describes the goal in states across the country right now where county immigration laws have been passed like arizona or alabama making life so hard for undocumented immigrants that they voluntarily. joining me to discuss this as axel caballero founder and producer of quentin a brave new foundation campaign accolades for joining us tonight and i guess let me hear your definition of what exactly self deportation is. well i think

first trouble is most people who are right now are kind of scratching their heads trying to figure out what exactly is deportation this is something that just came out of the blue as far as his campaign is a new policy reversal if you can call that policy it's kind of ludicrous to just think that it's out of nowhere twelve million undocumented folks are going to stand up and say we're going to leave this country you know this is not for us anymore so so i think that that's the main first point the second point to that is that really what it is what it sounds to be is more of a code word to just not do anything to leave it up to right now the policies that are happening throughout the states the vacuum that has caused arizona to enact as he turned seventy or to try to enact as between seventy and the policy that has allowed private prison corporations to fund local particularly pieces of legislation so that they would benefit out of the incarceration of immigrants i

think that that is the main thing behind this new policy reversal and make it sound as if he's soft and in his stance on immigration when in reality it's a big you know it's a term that really doesn't say anything. as far as we're concerned well you know i also like to jeffrey's over mother jones basically called this. the conservative trifecta because he said that has this free market free will sort of sound to it at the same time it could reduce deportation costs of people are living on their own and it really emphasizes the states passing their own legislation that tries to push on documented immigrants out and they don't even need the federal government involved either so it kind of makes sense if they try to just use this this word that sounds flowery but really i mean isn't this you know if you look at some of the laws that are being passed in alabama in arizona it's about scaring people to right to the point where they're afraid to sign their children for school they

might be afraid to take them to the hospital if your citizenship is going to be checked all the time. this is your right and i think what is even more mind boggling is that this is precisely what he's been advocating candidate romney you know a lot of the other characters as well do you have been advocating for the very first until the immigration stance pretty much along the lines of what alabama would arizona would you would georgia work to. the primary you know states like florida or new mexico and now suddenly we've the stance is well it's really self deportation we're on there you know i don't know that so let me cut you off really quick too because we're running out of time a little bit but we have yesterday on our show we showed mitt romney's new spanish language ad where he's trying to appeal to hispanic voters and so here i thought one of the moderators last i asked a very good question let's take a look. all of you favor making english the official language of the united states

which could mean that ballots and other government documents would not be available in spanish but speaker gingrich you're sending out press releases and spanish us governor romney you're advertising in spanish why is it ok for you to court voters and spanish us but not ok for the government to serve them and spanish. beth reinhard we didn't have a show yesterday that was my mental flub there but romney does have this spanish language ad out right now if it were his sons talking about it and i think that she brings up a really good point you know i mean are latino voters going to buy that if you start putting out spanish language ads well that's this is actually what is happening right now with all the campaigns where they take a hard stance because they're going for the base they're trying to mobilize their folks and then when it's time to reach out of the constituency that actually would need to reach out the folks that are really important in this election then you know they change they change the plan which they reach out in different language

and they try to adapt to pretty much what the campaign should be in the first place so i think that there's a disconnect and we're seeing that and i think to a team electorate as the rest of the country is pretty smart it's very smart i would say and be thinking recognize we can recognize that sometimes these words are just political words is more a politician seen or trying to say well what do you consider it's warmer here when we really want to know exactly what the proposals are going to be throughout the campaign and have a clear positions of the those proposals but let me play you something that rick santorum said last night which is very much a big republican talking point. not sure if we have it. bottom line is that if you do in force the law and say that. ok we can play right now fortunately

but rick santorum basically is going on with this line that everything you do if you ever if you enter this country illegally initially even everything you do from then on is an illegal act anywhere you might work at a school that you might attend and you know how do you counter that kind of that kind of a statement. well it's very hard to counter because there's already this stigma that has been created as far as what the word illegal means and what these actions are but let's start first and foremost from the understanding of the reason why folks migrate here and it's not because they want to commit crimes you know having a job is not a crime particularly working for fours for a living to to have a better life that's not a crime and so i think that that is absolutely a disconnect with reality as far as what they are trying to temper trade as illegal behavior what it in reality is happening of crime are ceo's that are really you

know. robbing the american people right now with all these bailout stuff they were going to see in the state of the you know a crime is a murder or a particular actual crime that is happening as is stated in our laws but behavior just because of the act of migrating over here and the bad behavior anything that you do becomes illegal it becomes a crime that is essentially what the problem is in this dialogue is that it has become so so polarized and so amazingly detrimental to the public this corps that is presenting a problem as far as really finding solutions to move this immigration debate forward now i have to see why the president says tonight in a state of the union immigration to you because i can imagine that he's going to ignore it specially not in this election year axl thanks so much for joining us tonight. thanks so much for. i just ahead tonight i tell my son friends picking a fight with occupy d.c.

try to find out it's night full time and happy hour donald's creative advertising method backfires on them and rick santorum hopeful loves weighing in on women's rights issues and dealt with all that welcome back. wealthy british scientists sometimes surprise. markets why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause a report on our.

league. right. i says time for tonight's tool time award and we're giving it to congress and more specifically members of the house oversight and government reform

committee say after giving members of the occupy d.c. movement the initial ok mary vincent gray and the national park service have decided that this four month long protest has lasted long enough but that wasn't enough for representative darrell issa he had his powerful subcommittee called in d.c. police chief cathy lanier and the national park service amongst others to figure out why the protesters were able to circumvent the district's ban against camping in a federal park so members of the committee hint that they'll question the park services decision making process and possibly mayor vincent gray has changed his views on the cabinet it seems that gray has taken a cue from mitt romney going back on his original support encouragement to call me curious and dangerous and a serious sanitation problem now usually would be a city issue is a city issue the mayor has spoken but now you see for some reason congress wants to get involved here which is actually quite rare as usually they don't really delve into local d.c. governance issues they continue to overlook serious issues in the past like the shocking aids epidemic we have one of the highest rates of aids rates of aids and

hiv in the entire country disease department of health says that seven percent of d.c. residents between the ages of forty and forty nine are infected which is three times what the world health organization classifies as an epidemic but congress didn't have a weighted on that issue or what about d.c. schools they're amongst the most troubled in the nation that's something that former school chancellor michelle rhee spoke about openly in the film waiting for superman. you wake up every morning and you know that kids are getting a really crappy education right now she thinks the most the kids are going to. go i don't think they are i know they are. all right or how about poverty considering the washington d.c. as a state ranks third in the nation for the highest poverty rate at one thousand point nine percent behind only mississippi and louisiana now congress hasn't made that a priority either so why is occupy d.c. and why do occupy d.c. need an entire congressional hearing to talk about it i mean it's pretty civil

right it's politics there i said has been on a tirade since december to figure out what all is happening in mr macpherson square he's requested all communications from the white house from the interior department and the park service so that he can decide for himself is the president is allowing protesters to stay in unsanitary conditions for political reasons and according to the washington examiner committee members will analyze the effects of the occupy movement with what they fact that they've had on the economy on security and on the environment so is the real concern here unsanitary conditions due to rats well d.c. residents don't seem to think so it's not too bad i mean you go anywhere in the city anywhere in the city there's rats everywhere you go out you know everywhere they can be in the white house i never knew in d.c. mapping out ways you could turn to me and. now i'm sure the mayor knows but somebody should probably inform i says well rats are nothing new but congress actually taking an interest in the city that is very new so i'm going to take the

liberty of calling out there i said for merely taking up the d.c. issue because he's sick of how the occupiers portray him and his party so for that their eyes and the rest of congress it's all part of it they're tonight's bull's-eye winners. our guys it's time for a happy hour and joining me this evening are two producer jenny churchill and tanya saw minator reporter and blogger for think progress dot org. hello ladies. ready to talk about some more food and always talk a lot of food a lot of fast food lot of cheese on the show lately right now we're going to talk a little about mcdonald's mcdonald's if there's one thing that they're usually good at it's marketing it's marketing and branding themselves take a look at this at. the global deal if you told me it was the egg mcmuffin of

apartments the egg mcmuffin the egg mcmuffin the bowl the experts are calling it the company the science behind it. ok well it turns out mcdonald's had one big massive fail because then they tried to launch this social media campaign and try to get people to tweet with the hash tag meet the farmers in the campaign to draw attention to the brands guarantee a fresh produce unfortunately however. basically they just got a lot of people talking about how they've lost finger and gross and they had to i think they had to. front of p.r. sales. very good. it was actually really pathetic because it only lasted like two hours this hash tag macdonald stories or whatever and then they had to pull it they didn't specify however that they had to be good stories this is probably why ronald mcdonald has a confidentiality agreement this is my period i do have like

a lot if you're going to ask you to tweet about mcdonald's you really think there's going to be overwhelmingly positive rather than just people talking smack on mcdonald's and i just can't think of one positive experience i've had there and you never i was there something that i'm going through the drive through on a sunday morning and got in from coke and thought it was the best thing in your whole i'm a burger king well. i only do the mcdonald's breakfast and it is only where it was you know i told you this is going to. do it again and not about their failed social media campaign. all right now let's move on to rick santorum. and we've got he's a hateful mean person and we talk about it all the time but he decided to weigh in on what he thinks about women's bodies and what we should do with them yet again in a new interview take a look at this. the right approach is to is to accept this horribly created in the sense of. but nevertheless gift. in

a very broken way the gift of human life and accept what god has given to us. so again he doesn't support abortion even in cases of rape because it's a gift even though it's a crappy gift it's a gift from god now i think the worst gift giver. here and i mean nothing says happy hour like rape and abortion i really can't think of anything i'd rather be talking about right now but i do have to say whenever i hear santorum talk about rape and abortion i cannot stop thinking of that law and order character olivia benson she was like the product of a rape and her mom hated her and she's like an uncomfortable topic i think for everyone all around well i just something extends his sense of humanity to the actual victim you know he keeps talking about these embryos and fetuses the like have rights when he's completely ignoring the right of a sexual assault for young and that's the whole concept that the g.o.p. he loves babies until they're born and actual people are so not

a good actor so. let's see what is the thing a little happier is. just a downer and it makes me angry it makes me depressed so let's talk about something going on in kentucky basically we've spoken about the creationist theme park before but here's a little refresher. the park is scheduled to include a first century style village up look of the tower of babel children's play areas and petting zoos and the main attraction of noah's ark based on biblical descriptions. jedi have been yeah i really don't think it's not open all that is still building yeah there's a feeling ark is set to open in spring of two thousand and fourteen however the museum the creation museum which is right down the street is and i've never been to that i know well you know kentucky like most other states in the nation right now is signing some tough economic times so budget cuts are involved but this is what they're doing is kentucky governor steve beshear is suggesting over fifty million

dollars in cuts to education and yet he's preserving forty three million dollars in tax breaks for the creationist theme park. yeah events around we could be a little this is can only like teach creationism but you want to cut money for education this is actually i don't think this is going to be any more outrage and because what you have here is a state where it's you know renowned for its a lot of illiteracy issues you've got a forty percent illiteracy rate in a lot of areas and and we're focusing now on a theme park that may or may not produce nine hundred jobs instead of the future of the state and its children it's disgusting well said well you know if they don't go to school because they can't reach any discernible educational standards they can just work at the arc young guys where i sleep out amusement parks we're talking high level careers it is pretty out of priorities to me. all right now let's move on to one of our favorite topics in the show.

who. last night at the debate we heard a lot of talk about nasa and the space race but it's not the first time that this kind of thing has come up we've seen mitt romney even make fun of newt gingrich in the past about wanting her qualities to look ok. speaker gingrich and i have a lot of places where we disagree we'll talk about a name though which is where we disagree. let's see. we could start with that with this idea to have a colony that would mind minerals from the from the moon i'm not in favor of spending that kind of money to do that. well. because. nasa and russia and the e.u. are working on putting permanent research stations up on the moon i find it very fascinating the u.s. and russia have such a tough time you know relating to each other and getting along on earth but we seem

to do really well in space maybe we should just all go up there and we just get along great i'm just surprised gingrich is like a one man think tank i don't know why he is like worrying about the presidency when he just you know open shop when it's down and the spews ideas and things happen to have a lot of ideas scary ones that are you guys thanks for joining me tonight that's it for tonight so thanks for tuning in make you come back tomorrow we're going to have you heard from the young turks on to talk about obama's state of the union address in the meantime coming up next. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't have time for our local pacific ocean.

so you are sure you know. from the.

video. stream. some late libyan leader moammar gadhafi seize control in the town of bani walid saying that the administration of the area is now in their hands. damascus green line it's an extension to the arab league mission in syria and this comes as six gulf states withdraw their support for questioning the regime is a commitment to the peace plan. that will do nicely reports emerge that around as accepting gold as payment for its oil exports actively bypassing the latest round of sanctions imposed by the u.s. and europe.
