they hate they will get rid of part of the federal workforce so that defense the largest chunk of nondiscretionary government spending can stay so that numerous contracts can continue to be given out to by the government to defense contractors and the like now let's also not forget that all of this was done in order to refrain from having to raise taxes because raising taxes according to republicans is a job killer but here in order to not raise taxes they are killing federal jobs so does this make any sense to any of you there is no rhyme or reason there is no logic and if anything it just shows us two things number one the defense has such a tight grip on our politicians and the republican party specifically that there is no way to have an honest debate about what the size of government should truly be number two it shows us that there is no such thing as a binding agreement in washington any more let's not forget this was not a requirement imposed from above this was your own doing you were so dysfunctional the you had to make a deal with threats included with
6:49 pm
a trigger effect to force you into action and even that didn't work to scare lawmakers into being a functional governing body the super committee failed and so now republicans don't want to deal with the consequences of what they themselves have done so what's the point while the grandstanding why waste our time why are you being paid by the american taxpayer to do a job if you have absolutely no accountability for it and you know this really isn't just about one party we've seen democrats do the exact same thing but in this specific scenario is just too blatant so i guess it is just another episode another week reminding you ladies and gentlemen of how your lawmakers work. time for happy hour. and joining me tonight sam sachs producer for the big picture
6:50 pm
with tom hartman and now it's money from hard of the hill with brokaw ok roll calls on the hill about it. ok let's first of all talk about a story we talked about this earlier about some british tourists were trying to come to the u.s. turns out he tweeted something on the out there already they just took it all wrong . someone's going to come in and say oh no sorry this is to this is stupid they say border patrol officers began grilling them about a tweet least sent to friends before their trip free this week for a quick gossip prep before i go and destroy america trying to explain destroy british slang for partying hard. according to some of our viewer is destroyed is also british slang for a number of other things you can do other than partying hard anyway so now if things. starring apparently has sexual connotations as well.
6:51 pm
something kind of similar now happened to a canadian muslim who sent a text message to work colleagues enjoying encouraging them to blow away the competition at a trade show and basically that just plunged him into a terrorism probe he was arrested by provincial police on picking up a seven year old son at school the police officer storming to his home telling his wife that he was married to a terrorist and all of his colleagues were detained at the border for hours. what we do is just as crazy as we are just because we force them to be probably making their own crazy. canada be as crazy as they want to be they don't have to write our coattails i'm sure just how important words are that if you would have just said blow the competition away it would have been ok but he said blow away the competition you know it's a subtle switch just like if you didn't say a way and just said you know the cons. you got three other things there were only one of them. this is also very concerning for those of us but whatever comes.
6:52 pm
first i agree. probably could be taken totally the wrong way i would say ninety five percent of this of a tweet is just probably shouldn't be tweeted but your twitter you. know me to look out or ok so this story well this system various thing and takes us back to you know back to the kennedy administration and the bay of pigs. again. and i want to really be under. government. and meeting a primary obligation. kurdi around me. all right so you guys know that overclassification has a little bit of a problem with our government and so they've been released seeing all these
6:53 pm
documents from the kennedy administration and the cia refuses to leak the last like the third piece and in a certain volume on the bay of pigs because they said and they apparently said this last year in the national security archive is trying to fight them in court over it but it was too good because like they're still fighting in court they said that it might confuse the public and that was part of their reasoning for why i can't be let out i just want to say that most of the stuff the government does confuses the public it confuses me and i cover them for a living i have no idea half the stuff they're talking about everything should just be secret or everything you shouldn't. either a very good anyway well they were also clearly confused heading into that you know they probably don't want to reveal that they had no idea what was going on in cuba before that or had no idea on how to succeed in this stuff kind of point is there other thing is that it was a free to say you know document so they're like you guys you really don't want you to know the crazy stuff this person is just a plant. sitting in
6:54 pm
a room you know throwing stuff out a door. and we know this kind of stuff they used to do back in the day when they try to like. you know where it is that you are when he was scuba diving and stuff so i can only imagine. roseanne barr. however cracks me up anyway last summer she made the following announcement. my announcement as that i am running for president of the united. on totally serious really because i want to be part of the debates because you know i want to represent the taxpayers and i know that i'm choosing the taxpayers as my vice president. all right so everyone's been waiting for her to actually do something with this and so basically she came through on a promise and now she's going to seek the green party's nomination in two thousand and twelve and her official campaign slogan on twitter is vote for me i'll fix this
6:55 pm
. i can't save it you know and so some of things that she's going to do is make or illegal and legalize him change demographics of government and step three most important i will outlaw bull. i have a problem on their part for me because i'm already illegal we have this discussion today i think there's a million out there oh ok well then just be more specific because i'm worried that she doesn't understand me as. well i mean on the language i do with her political yeah you're right it's all in the language and i mean all the other people from that show seem to be doing ok what's her pay started lena's like on morning t.v. john if you're saying i think she's on like the competition with the view show or so you're right you're right i think i do not care about something that other guys on big. i love or that rely on have rows and the president also are you sure everyone has been waiting for. me. to probably be the least
6:56 pm
likely person from that show to expect to be president but you know you know it's like it is the narrator it produced two governors so it could be anybody you know if you were to ask who from that movie would go on to be governor schwarzenegger and would be the last two people ever that is going to whether it's very true i guess we never know. over. let's move on to another story i mean this one is just causing a buzz everywhere and i mean really want to get into it until susan g. komen foundation decided to back off of their stupid stance today and i don't remember what this exactly explains. the susan g. komen foundation announced they'll no longer support planned parenthood the foundation gave more than seven hundred thousand dollars to planned parenthood just last year and this reversal ends a days long dispute that divided two major nonprofits within the last half hour the susan g. komen foundation not only pledged to continue issuing grants to planned parenthood apologize for pulling that funding in the first place. all right so obviously this
6:57 pm
caused quite a fuss but what do you think i mean it's kind of like you guys that was pathetic so you pulled it and then you got so much pressure and i'm happy that you are once again supporting planned parenthood but you just look that and that and there's nothing good about the color pink you know really push to make you my headphones that are we what we would picture of the hand that they're trying to give you a back on their side so most of the special. third to go there to see how that compares liberal so this week. i was like did you see one of those headlines that was the said something like democrats control one part of women's bodies and the republicans control another part of women's bodies and i want to be like no stop get a step away from all women's bodies political agenda crowd control i do it i guess the democrats control i don't i didn't i bring i want to go through i'm sorry thanks for joining me that's it for tonight's show thanks for tuning in as a q.b. come back on monday i'll be speaking with that giuliani about his new venture with
6:58 pm
jack in the meantime don't forget to become a fan of the one show on facebook followers on twitter there's anything you missed you can always catch you tube dot com slash the only show and coming up next it's going to. old means of protection can be used. in global supremacy he said stage. between two thousand and five and two thousand and nine the u.s. has spent fifteen billion dollars in the price to pay for the entire program that we are dealing with right now here in two thousand and eleven is another hundred and fifty billion dollars that's larger than many country's entire military budgets twenty offerings becomes the best form of defense.
6:59 pm
7:00 pm
birds for the birds i'm not sure. well that's one thing the f.b.i. got right thanks to the hacktivist group anonymous this very private conversation was made public and the f.b.i. is not the only one who should be worried it will explain. what rate has dropped to eight point three percent this was a big usually positive jobs number for january shows that the u.s. is moving in a positive direction but we are not out of the woods yet will sift through the statistics. the economy is kind of you know giving them some tough times and they
7:01 pm
still want some wind with them into shape and if the past year has proved anything it's that the u.s. economy sure knows how to take a beating meanwhile another industry is whipping people into shape even those knotty bankers who pongs the recession in the first place we'll take you into the underground world of the dominator. good evening it's friday february third seven pm in washington d.c. i'm christine and you're watching our t.v. . well let's begin this evening with the latest from the hacktivist group anonymous it is friday after all which means the group is out with a new chapter in their program the name of which i can't say on the show other than to call it f.b.i. friday so you may remember a couple fridays ago we told you about the groups waged attacks on web sites for the department of justice the f.b.i. universal music group the motion picture association of america and more and that
7:02 pm
was in response to the file sharing site mega upload being taken down by federal agents now the group is at it again the first time today the web site for the department of homeland security was down on. also another target earlier today the web site for puckett and for raj the attorneys that represented sergeant frank wuterich in his recent trial in mid to leading marines into two civilian homes back in two thousand and five in iraq it resulted in the killing of twenty four civilians that includes women and children now here's a glimpse of what that web site for those attorneys looked like was basically a black page which they wrote in red type and how they targeted this page now here's what was written they say they want to bring attention to this case adding can you believe this scumbag had his charges reduced to involuntary manslaughter and got away with only a pay cut and goes on to compare what's happening with alleged bradley manning who faces life imprisonment for sharing classified documents to his case another really
7:03 pm
interesting thing also happened turns out it's not his web site apparently anonymous has also been able to record some pretty high profile telephone conversations including one with the f.b.i. and scotland yard about the investigation into them. prosecution. without. ok how much time do you think it's reasonable that they'll be on the. images. which is. what we're going to. so basically you have these guys talking on the phone about
7:04 pm
sort of expanding the case putting off trying the people that they've already arrested and the f.b.i. has confirmed the call saying it was illegally obtained and it was meant only for the ears of law enforcement but as we know anonymous doesn't care who things are intended for and we talked about the implications of this recorded f.b.i. phone call with barrett brown a little earlier he's the founder of projects pm and also our source into some of the inner workings of anonymous well as one of the slew. of the most bold routes when you. mentioned sort of the knowledge of quote unquote the. point altogether and i've only heard something new this morning. discussed a lot about some of the back more guns on the background in terms of their investigations how they perceive what they want you know what their strategies are
7:05 pm
and that's going to be very useful for a number of parties on the. let's talk about what we just found out about a few minutes ago before we came on air the department of homeland security website is down talk a little bit about this why you think this might be the latest target for the group anonymous. well. worn in a lot of sides for a while there for that would mean to me for some reason about a month ago but some of. those names and there is obviously they're obviously have been you know and one of the targets own are in for a while now there's nothing recent but i know that one of them are solemnly in the office are sealed a while ago to a couple of people who've been very intense on bringing you down and it's just sort of the icing on the on this front and it looks like i've just gotten word that that website is sort of back up and down in intermittent was down there for a few minutes at least let's talk about this other latest attack of the attorneys
7:06 pm
who represented marine sergeant frank wuterich why do you think they chose this case in particular certainly there are a lot of things that people find fault and especially with with his sentence not even getting any time behind bars but why do you think anonymous would focus on this case they say and just as the man and not the many others. this is that they're going to a lot of them there are a number of reasons why i know anonymous basically any american who cares about justice would be mr person involved who prompted this massacre of twenty four people got off extraordinary lightly at the same time broke i mean i think it's still facing god when this was after having been psychologically tortured for months contrary to american ideals so you know there's just a month ago i guess the sentence was handed down and in the meantime this this law firm has a history that i won't go into right now but they have
7:07 pm
a history of. behavior and said couple the e-mails that he people responsible somebody said people sponsible have already gone through all the. points and. from what i understand. the part of the firm joking about the marines who are your knitting on and on that afghan soldiers that's just a slice a small slice of emails which in this space. consist of about two and a half years of exchanges so since as usual surgeons will soon be put off so that anyone can search and he would that once and come up with an e-mail that you were there's going to be a lot of trouble for the sperm in the next few weeks and it's really interesting to you from what i understand i mean that the amount of e-mails as you say two and a half years worth of e-mails that anonymous now has their hands on not only talks about them in know things that many people would see as inappropriate at these attorneys have been discussing it also shows a lot about who's been giving money to who and certainly when you follow that money
7:08 pm
that can lead you in some interesting places i guess it to me hey i've got hundreds it's not just me this law firm that gets hit on this they're going to be a lot of other parties that by the end of this are going to be tarnished possibly more who will know more about that. yeah and again you know this is sort of becoming the norm i mean we've had you want to share it. you know every other we care. it seems to me that anonymous does what anonymous wants and but it stands to reason that as more of these attacks take place the more resources you know the f.b.i. and the government will for them to devote to try to take down anonymous and what do you think i mean what's going to be able to stop them or or is there anything that could happen that would make anonymous stop on their own. this well i'm not going to miss any of them all these are processes that will the system and a process of balls very quickly a system there's no system is situated a system is broken more. ball change on
7:09 pm
a whim they can't so they're always sort of steps behind you know if that makes them arrest which they often do and of course soon as we go we have. fourteen. in san diego and they've all. not guilty in that situation and so. ya know i did not realize that when even the rings we had lots of cuomo mortars. they were expecting to be able to. turn these guys to scare them didn't realize the two days of the original raids in january two thousand and ten we would have some of the top loaders in the nation there and started buying them so it's things like that through that no matter what happens. we're going to be burning out any time any time soon. right certainly something very interesting that we here at our to keep our eyes on all day long you should see our web department they all kind of are into this making sure they don't miss anything and they were the ones who
7:10 pm
notified us about the department of homeland security and who knows within the next few hours we might have more news we do appreciate your insight founder of project pm there at brown. well in one week many egyptians will be celebrating the one year anniversary of the day their longtime leader president hosni mubarak stepped down after quite a bit of pressure and of course weeks of protest in the streets but despite this event that so many called a victory for democracy clashes continue and tensions remain high. and of course violence continues on the streets of cairo and just in the last day or so at least three people have been killed and another four hundred injured this comes after wednesday's very deadly post football match clashes in which seventy four people were killed after the game in a stampede many of those protesters blame police for not stepping in soon enough and many people in egypt are also continually frustrated by the fact that egyptians
7:11 pm
still live under emergency laws these include bans on public assembly indefinite detention without charge and prosecution with no appeal now are to correspondent maria for an ocean and brings us a snapshot of what things have been like in egypt during this past year. around a thousand killed at least six thousand injured and even more still missing egypt's people have played a high price to leave in a new country but despite all the sacrifices the shadow of the old regime still lose large during mubarak thirty years of mubarak's rule to meet a number of people try them under military tribunals where one to two thousand now you know within about ten months or eleven miles we have twelve thousand which is of course a humongous number for a country ruled by the military the supreme council of the armed forces or skaf that's no surprise but surprisingly enough those discounts took over from who'd
7:12 pm
previously run the country are not themselves before military tribunals you cannot have four. suspected killers. thought. to be tried in a civil court system. you know the ordinary people i mean in military courts this is a simple way and this is illegal hasty with no proper investigation usually with no lawyer and behind closed doors and with no right of appeal human rights activists complain military trials provide no justice and violate human rights you know you have a nineteen year old getting a twenty five year old son to your centers because he either walks amount of cocktails and people who are found guilty of killing somebody by brutally beating him up and torturing him until he died these are getting seven years in jail so i
7:13 pm
mean they're obviously there's something wrong with this picture a lot of these people are tried for absolutely no reason i mean some would just just being in the wrong place at the wrong time is enough to get you in trouble that's exactly what a man says is his case september the time he's really embassy in cairo the. place. young screenplay writer was present at clashes between the army and demonstrators and began helping the injured i arrested he was brought to military barracks after summary trial which lasted just twenty minutes he was taken straight to prison to serve almost four months for terrorists and he says the military dishes out a very rough justice. in the emerge in a seventy year old who's been in the army for at least thirty years it must be hard for him to take off his uniform and this large staff and this was the only way they know how to deal with problems. for several days what did know her son's
7:14 pm
whereabouts who were the mongooses when his sister came to me and said i have to talk to you i knew it was about him hoping for the best i prepared myself for the worst. a month after ahmed was released he now faces yet another trial from the same incident at these really embassy. they go is to intimidate people the message is clear if you go to toria you'll be arrested and it makes us even stronger how is it they don't understand that mad is now working on a book he wants to title you must shut up he explains if people didn't give up after been beaten and humiliated they'll never give up until their voices are heard . the citadel in cairo egypt a medieval symbol of power and strength it was fortified centuries ago to protect the region from his enemies at that time crusades and procedures today egypt's rulers are doing the same striving to defend themselves and to keep power with
7:15 pm
thousands in jails and dozens killed the concern here is that they may have been working too hard. refinished. cairo. so i had on our t.v. the results are in jobs numbers for the month of january are going up but the economy is still in the red how long before we see real progress that story next. we just put a picture of me when i was like nine years old when she told the truth. because i meant to get of friends that i was driving hip hop music and. that it was kind of yesterday. i'm very.
7:16 pm
it's a play. is the state run english speaking russian channel it's kind of like. russia today has an extremely confrontational stance when it comes to us. well for the next few months really until november when we hearing the ins and outs all the details about where each candidate stands on every big issue out there one of those issues that gets a little less play but no doubt has become more political over the years is the
7:17 pm
environment and more specifically global warming so more hard for us but the resident decided to ask people what they think of global warming and also what they'd sacrifice to try to curb its effects. today legislators are introducing more and more bills to help curb the effects of global warming what are you willing to do to help out this week let's talk about that do you agree that global warming is the real problem. a real real problem i think is that people need to think more about this would you be willing to do heat your house with a fireplace instead of using electric heat you know you'd be willing to do that absolutely so why is she doing that now not now would you be willing to do not blow dry your hair anymore that i'd be willing to that would you be willing to dry your clothes on the line and never use a dry.
