at a tangent during this discussion about lawmakers salaries and said the other career paths like teachers don't follow the same line of reasoning just get a load of this mcgill said that he needs to make enough so that he can say no in regards to temptation teachers need to make the money that they need to make and if you double what you're paying education you know what's going to happen i've heard this comment many times well the quality of education is going to go up that never proved that's never proven to happen guys it was all his words so this guy's a line of reasoning is that if you pay lawmakers more that they will not be bought and therefore will perform better because they have no restraint moral character but don't even think about paying people like teachers a good salary because they won't do jack and what's worse here as he tries to defend that stands by invoking god and the bible will said it's a biblical principle if you double a teacher's pay scale you'll attract people who aren't called to teach and these teachers that are called to teach regardless of the pay scale they would teach so basically the guy thinks that the only good teachers out there are the ones that
1:49 pm
are called by god to teach they would teach because that's their destiny in life right it's especially novel hearing that from somebody who is a public servant and so was so special about this public servant is that while he will rail against raising teachers' salaries to compensate them for their hard work and contribution to society he has no problem raising his own in two thousand and seven mcgill's one of the many lawmakers who approved a salary hike that increase lawmakers salaries from thirty thousand a year to forty nine thousand five hundred a year and as things progress pointed out alabama legislators are now paid more than a teacher who's been working for over twenty seven years oh and i mention the lawmakers are technically part time in alabama so we should not pay teachers more but we should absolutely pay lawmakers more and not because they contribute so much of society or working so hard and helping so many people because so they won't be tempted to be corrupt and accept bribes it's really really super solid logic so for trying to keep teachers from getting their salaries they deserve and using the
1:50 pm
bible to defend his greed shadrack mcgill is tonights to a time when. our guys have time for happy hour and joining me this evening artsy correspondent christine and jake breuer chief strategy officer at vision strategy hey guys thanks for joining me i think there is it did you know that there was really huge news that was going to happen day the thing that we covered on our show everybody was waiting for donald trump to announce his endorsement of a republican candidate i could. it's my honor real honor and privilege to endorse mitt romney. our it's what we did there is we got to make sure that every single network every single cable network went live with this i'm not even kidding you we were checking out earlier editorial
1:51 pm
meeting this morning and that same b.c. had a countdown clock like three hours and twenty minutes until drawn from panelled announcement all the while i was looking up to you again by the way although it said all the while egypt was rocking and here's what i think it should have been was actually that and my wife pointed this out this morning was that punxsutawney phil woke up this morning and made one appearance and then he had to fly to vegas and actually make another appearance on donald trump's head. and i think that's really what i was recovering right yeah i mean the countdown to donald trump's indorsement i know it's so hard because it is it's true why does anyone give a crap as you say what you know why is all times that important person he's an entertainer he's not so important that his voice should get all this attention however i say this and yet this morning i was on twitter all morning and i thought it was so interesting because wall street journal had tweeted for a while donald trump to endorse gingrich and then you know c.n.n.
1:52 pm
poll of fast already n n was saying that he was interests romney so here this was i was being caught up. myself and it all the while saying why does trump matter but obviously he did matter to me so i don't know it was personal once i was yeah and romney didn't win yeah i got there it's not where it was going to get to that anymore but yet here we are talking about it but i mean the countdown clock and he still is the door open for running an independent bit if he is not the nominee. let's talk about a little fun little thing called the no fly list that you have thanks to nine eleven and the response here in our government you know you hear more and more stories all the time with people that are on this list that really shouldn't be on the list here's just one example dr santos thomas was just made aware that his oldest daughter is on the list the terrorist watch list that impacts travelers who could be a threat to national security alicia's parents found out at the continental check in counter during
1:53 pm
a recent trip from cleveland to minneapolis. so you got childred on there that we had a few lawmakers right here was that they found themselves on the list well guess what under the obama administration that list has more than doubled to now about twenty one thousand names and that includes about five hundred americans you know i think there's a distinction between the terror watch list which this little girl was on and what you're talking about which is the no fly list so if you're on the no fly list that means that you cannot get on a plane and i think that i think it's a little strange and the patriot act and you know all this kind of stuff but we have to also look at the other side of the story and say maybe there's better intelligence now maybe all these people there's actual names of people who are living or in a cave. caves they're living in the caves are they subject to care or maybe you know their names their social security numbers are going to thirty seven million travelers in a lot of united states every year twenty thousand of them that is point zero zero
1:54 pm
zero zero. two percent are on this list right in out of americans this point zero zero zero zero zero one percent of americans are on a no it's the no fly list in perspective we're talking about a ninety nine point nine nine nine nine nine fly list right so like you some mistakes are going to happen it's going to get we have literally had to. double i don't understand why suddenly the threat has become so much maybe trying to really understand how to double it is a lot it also could be we don't know we're not in the situation room it could be that there's just better and more intelligent and that's why we're saying. we disagree whatever. i thought i was going to. i'm with you all you know is i'm not on a no fly list and sure that's nice to not get to december yeah maybe twenty twelve has a whole new meaning to you know you're pretty out of there i don't know i mean may
1:55 pm
. end up somewhere. it's finding that very cool buried treasure these guys found a ship it's a british merchant ship sunk by the germans in one nine hundred forty two and they think that i have a lot of money on. a crew of me treasure hunters who jockeys boston are getting ready to sell for seventy one percent of the platinum from the s.s. the ship was sunk in one nine hundred forty two by the germans as it was carrying the russian metals to the us by the soviet union for the united states for the war . all right so seventy one tons of platinum at the time that was valued at around fifty three million dollars and today's value is going to be three billion dollars and these guys are so the guys that are going to get it one way or another even if i have to lift the ship out of the water are their property is that i mean they should get a large reward for i'm finding out is that i should and shouldn't i go to make our budget deficit well there's no soviets anymore right what do they say it was
1:56 pm
a minute oh sorry the payment from the cell phone. i mean you really want to get less government right there's a british ship it should be ok the interesting thing here is actually just that it wasn't just the ship there was also another ship with five hundred million dollars of spanish gold island and the problem was that the government ruled that gold is not does not belong to the discovers it actually belongs to the descendants of the two hundred year old. yeah so that he gets assigned billion dollars they think they're going to actually have a problem of getting access to it because it belongs to the british government and i should think what i want to drive prime minister he's wrong i don't think honestly there really you know i think there's going to war in a big world right i think they should get at least they should get at least all of it was at least at least all of it. you know to give away i think after twenty years you should like it's you know what we like that one go how do you want to fall in that direction anyway. treasurer hire as that's the type of metal detector
1:57 pm
and if you start you know that's right all right well let's put it with our last thing which is you know there are constantly a lot of people are upset because certain video games out there are too violent they're worried about what kind of impression it's making on children whatever what it's teaching you but now there's somebody who's trying to do something different with violent video games take a look. over one this is what's so that we and today i'm playing to schools sky room. and i'm going to be doing something a little bit unique in this game i'm going to be playing as a pacifist that's right i don't kill anything. right. now this is not new i mean that's not new yeah i mean like people since super mario brothers have been playing games in a way is that they don't kill the enemies just because it's harder like to increase the challenge level over them you jump over the thing so there used to be people who would try to place of mario brothers like the old school you know to buy a little thing who would try just try to see if they could do it and it wasn't
1:58 pm
because their pacifist wasn't because they had some moral agenda or just because i was part of a nothing revolutionary about and i think not really i mean there's this whole you know people want to want to call it a pacifist movement it really is just like a bunch of you but a dude sitting around you as you know we're going to video games out there and find one read on to tell and i like the same city flood some of the i don't know i hardly find why this is a big deal the wall street journal but you know look i mean it's very interesting because for so many people the point of video games is to get out that aggression and to kill i think it's i think in video games as in life you know if someone's coming at you when you have a gun it is easier to shoot them and then if you don't take those the least sophist intentions inside of you and use them for more good actions bothers me that i care i got enough i have got to go then they started i think when i show they are tuning and make me come back tomorrow medicine money the roll call is going to be with us for happy hour in the meantime the family lives on facebook follow us on twitter and miss anything at all in the last they want to sell and plant thanks james.

2:01 pm
eleven pm in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story fresh clashes in egypt with reports of at least four killed and some four hundred injured across the country as police again fire volleys of tear gas and birdshot to disperse crowds of protesters they're looking at a live video from tahrir square where thousands have gathered to voice their their discontent with the government the unarrest broke out after wednesday's football violence when seventy four died in post match clashes protesters have been massing in tahrir square and around the interior ministry blaming police for doing nothing to prevent the soccer pitch deaths they also call on the military council to step down analysts say many young people are dissolute disillusioned with how their revolution has been turning out. the main recipient of criticism now in egypt is
2:02 pm
the military council because it really has own powers and they are demanding that those bounds we will be transferred quickly either to a government or to and could president and the military council is still very hesitant and i just do something that happened a couple of weeks ago when the military council of older security forces to go and shut down democracy agencies both and education n.g.o.s and international n.g.o.s based n.g.o.s all of that indicates that the military council is very hasn't been in transferring power to democracy forces they want to cut the deal with a force which most likely will be in the muslim brotherhood that is something very odd about the fact that egypt broke down and look at it here and leader and yet some of its agencies are acting as if feel that again if you missed in iraq what is happening right now is that large segments of civil society specifically the youth of egypt who began the revolt and that revolt was taken away by other political
2:03 pm
parties including the muslim brotherhood itself as those youth are angry at the government because they want good military council to transfer power to them or actually to their representatives and they fear that egypt is moving towards another author with that regime does what you think about the latest clashes in egypt and r.t. dot com today we're asking why you think the comma's failed to return after egypt's revolution last year so far most of the voters believe it's because it's the same officials who weren't power under mubarak that are now still running the country a quarter think that continuing on arrest plays into the interests of radical groups about seventeen percent says unrest continues because of high unemployment person staying in fewer think that every revolution has its own creates its own downfall those figures are there on the screen you can help change them by logging on to our team casting your vote. can also see the events unfolding firsthand in cairo on our team dot com where we're streaming the protest live on our website.
2:04 pm
moscow says it can't support a new draft resolution on syria although the text has been softened to overcome some of russia's objections the kremlin says it still falls short of addressing their main concerns. has the latest from new york. as the security council enters its for its fourth day of negotiations major powers are still divided over how this resolution should be drafted and what wording should be used now the russian foreign ministry said that moscow is still committed to talks and these talks are continuing but no vote is planned for the coming days now as we've been reporting the resolution the draft resolution that was first introduced to the council on tuesday has been revised and updated to meet some of russia's concerns you know some of those revisions reportedly include the fact that the text no longer is
2:05 pm
spelling out plans for syrian president bashar al assad to step aside or to relinquish its power it also reportedly deletes a paragraph demanded that u.n. member states prevent the flow of arms to syria but at this point we still do not know what are the sticking points we do know that moscow opposes any language that would open the door for regime change in syria russia russian officials have acknowledged that the tax has softened but still does not meet moscow's major concerns now why the everything is so it is because of what has taken place in libya russia china many other countries believe that western powers misinterpreted the text of the resolution that was passed for libya that allowed for a no fly zone and circumvented the attacks and and took advantage of what the security council wanted and that's why you have all these member states
2:06 pm
going through the text word for word and debating word for word because many countries do not want to leave the door open for misinterpretation by western powers some of which want to see a regime change in syria. marcus papadopoulos editor of politics first magazine thinks the u.s. is still committed to seeing power change hands in damascus western interest in the conflict in syria isn't guided by wanting to advance human rights democracy or the rule of law in the region if it was about that then we'd probably see an american naval for taylor off the coast of saudi arabia which happens to be one of the most repressive and brutal regimes in the world it follows a pro western foreign policy syria is a huge player in middle eastern politics and the west principally america has a very problematic relationship with syria so it would be very much within america's interests for the syrian government for president assad to fall from
2:07 pm
power and for a more accommodating a more sort of pro western government to come to parallel should that happen that would give. almost full dominance politically in the middle east so instead of western governments the british and the american in the french ones talking about president assad stays being numbered they should be more responsible in their outlook and the main focus should be on bringing pace to syria marcus papadopoulos editor of politics first magazine speaking with us from london it will stay with us there's a lot more coming up the next few minutes including religious to the extreme. it's scary and it's freaking people like this is a misinterpretation of her secret groups. and some hardline rhetoric from a radical islamic group shocks belgian society including fellow muslims stay with us.
