hi guys it's time for you said it i read it right take time to respond to my brilliant and engaging viewer comments on facebook twitter and you tube because you've got some to say listen first i want to respond to a viewer that watched my fireside friday on senate leaders attempts to work around the defense trigger cuts and such for john seventy four commented on you tube the hypocrisy is all the more palpable when you consider that this is the party of say it with me now personal responsibility i don't think they know what that means let me just point out the defense cuts is on both sides of the aisle unfortunately when it comes to spending on defense spending americans to war you can almost always guarantee that the democrats and the republicans will come together to vote in unity now in this specific case republican leadership is working to undermine the defense trigger cuts which they themselves agreed to which is what makes it so absurd so just to say that you know that like our viewer i find the republican rhetoric on fiscal and personal responsibility to be

a wee bit hollow when you put it in the context of their support for the enormous defense budget and the lengths that which they will go to defend it that really includes going against what they agreed on they're not being either accountable or responsible in this case the next one responder if you are the watch my interview with an experience on privately owned prisons jeffrey baldwin asked on facebook what's next privately operated police departments privately operated courts. now it's kind of far out as some of those might sound it's really not there are a lot of people out there would like to see things go in that direction as we speak cities all across the country are experimenting with privatizing fire departments so it's not that far fetched to see how much farther they would like it to go public services across the map are under attack public schools public health care public e-mail and it's all fair game for those that like to see the government out of their lives unfortunately these areas are often where we see more waste of taxpayer money where we see more corruption so there needs to be a lot more research done in the face of these attempts to privatized everything and finally i want to respond to

a kind of you are doing walton tweeted out this show i just wanted to comment you on the interview with dylan ratigan a great job and a very informative keep up the good work so thank you it was an honor to have dylan on the show and a lot of fun too i can tell you one thing that if there were more dylan ratigan on the mainstream networks i think this country would be in a very different place so it's of my ranting soon i'll be back with more as usual later in the week. well tonight we've got an update on p.f.c. bradley manning since mid january we've been waiting for a decision from major general michael lymington of the court martial convening authority he will be deciding whether or not to take up colonel paul months as recommendation of a court martial for manning and it turns out now he has announced late friday that manning will face twenty two charges including wrongfully causing intelligence to be published on the internet where enemies can access that information transmitted defense information theft of public property and records fraud and related activity in connection with computers violating army regulation on information assurance and

the army's information security program and most importantly he's being charged with aiding the enemy offense that can carry the death penalty sentence but prosecutors here have already determine that their maximum punishment will be life in prison and many also potentially faces a dishonorable discharge or reduction in rank to the lowest pay grade and total forfeiture of all paying allowances so far there's no date set for the army privates court martial proceedings but as kim zetter of wired points out the uniform code of military justice requires that a suspect be tried within one hundred twenty days of being arrested now since manning's arrest on may twenty sixth of two thousand and ten has clearly been held way past the speedy trial timeline so at this point we don't know when man who will finally learn his fate that will make sure to keep you updated. now if you like millions of people around the country watch the super bowl last night you as usual were inundated with a lot of expensive long incredibly elaborate commercials summer funnies on trying

to be sexy others were just become traditional staples at this point but we also saw politics come into play specifically if you live in the d.c. market than you may have caught this it takes a. i'm sick of you taking so much of my money out of every paycheck i know why you guys voted them in. i never even got a vote. did you guys get to vote for the union not me let me me me only ten percent of people in unions today actually voted to join the union everyone deserves a vote at least one time reason number two for the employee rates. so as we see money final the entire political system at record rates and we expect this kind of stuff to be the norm to discuss with me said communications an outreach coordinator for united republic is also a writer for the night her public blog new blog republic report that thanks so much for joining us tonight. in terms of the super bowl i mean i think the last year we

had a few political ads as well too but is this a pretty new development you think it's something that we're going to keep seeing more and more and more of you know particularly after this is you know decision where we sort of saw sort of the gates open in corporate money and sort of outside of political spending and they were going to see more and more of this and i think what sort of made this unique was going after unions i mean traditionally a hot button social issues are becoming topic in the super bowl but they're actually seen it before with right now it seems like we're the corporations are sort of exporting for their own agenda and. this particular right tell us more about this specific god that right we're going to have to be seeing these ads i want to know more about who it is the decided to put out these finding it. sure so rick berman and company they're basically here out in the video all sorts of ads for all sorts of people everyone from like. fast food companies like philip morris you know all sorts of political communications and it's really fascinating you know you saw what you thought were a bunch of mechanics in that ad and rick berman was actually posing as one of the mechanics he's actually in his own ad playing an actor complaining about unions and

it's fascinating because he thought that they maybe were a bunch of mechanics that rick berman you know his house three point three million dollars i mean the multimillionaire made all his money basically you know hacking for politicians and for corporate causes you know when we have ads like this is important will always know where the money's coming from who's in them and you know what what the what the real message behind them is and not just take things at face value so what do you say about what they said in this ad right which is only one out of ten union workers actually get a chance to vote. well it's really fascinating what you know what i would always do with ads like this is it just go to our blog or public report or we've actually done a long sort of a few paragraphs debug on sort of the different facts being put out here i mean one of the main things to remember is that the sort of facts that people like repairing give you are typically skewed in one direction and you know the truth is that most unions have a really hard time getting off the ground because they can go through n.l.r.b. elections process for years and years and workers actually can't get the sort of unions that they want to be and if you take a look at polls millions of millions of americans say they want to be able to get

in that because the process is too difficult to go through and there's a lot more people out there who are concerned about their their right to organize and then being concerned about being forced into a union r.k. so then since you brought it up let's hear more about this new blog you're part of it's called republican poor and jack is involved in it and it's about getting the money out of politics it's not as corrupt anymore. tell us tell us more shearers so you know i work for an organization now called united republic or basically a nonprofit we're trying to organize left right and center to get money big money out of politics you know we don't care if you're a card carrying republican earlier in the green party we want you to stand with us in fighting the corrupting influence of big money and we've launched this blog a republican dot org basically we're trying to investigate all money in politics and expose you know politicians democrats and republicans nonprofits lobbying shops the media anyone who's on the take a big money is sort of distorting our democratic process with what's happening with corporate dollars especially so for a move onto another story i want to show us another ad that was on the super bowl

last night and this is i mean it's actually a car commercial and but let's take a look for there's definitely some political. behind it. i've seen a lot of stuff a lot of downturns of my life times when we didn't understand each other seems we've lost our good times the smaller version the discord and blame made it hard to see what lies ahead all the matters now is what. do we compromise. how to really come together now do we. so basically there are two ways talking about detroit how they came back they pulled together i feel like it was a pretty big commercial for the auto bailout there yeah and also if you will see there was actually a rally they showed at the wisconsin capitol may actually blurred out all the unions and we want people to know there was a pro union message on the signs of the people there early that's another another fact of corporations using you know their advertising to deceive people but the

thing time they like the government like the bailout it was a little weird to me but ok that's another story that i want to talk to you about if we're talking about the influence of money in politics is that the koch brothers held their annual retreat that they have in california and this time they reportedly raise one hundred and mill hundred million dollars just to be obama and they say that david and charles koch themselves at sixty million dollars into this i mean that is a whopping amount of money but i wonder if you think that this is part of what's wrong with the g.o.p. right now right there facing a crisis of leadership they don't have any really good options that voters seem to like in terms of countering the president and so are they just throwing as much money as they possibly can to you know to see what sticks and this is what the koch brothers are doing for years you know particularly since president obama took office is they've they've been dumping money particularly to outside good for other candidates to sort of tear one candidate down rather than sort of support candidates and sort of show the positive part of their message i mean there are only two hundred fifty to three hundred donors at that conference and they pledged

one hundred million dollars so you can do the math and see how much money people are pledging even if you take into account that charles and david you know place sixty million dollars and you know the unfortunate. you know this isn't something that's so clear just the republican party and democratic party is doing the same thing to try to hear sort of mitt romney and newt gingrich down and you know that this illusion is really attacking this is them attacking a system that demands that people spend tens of millions ours hundreds of millions of dollars just to compete in an election i mean i think even charles and david koch would like to save some of their money and participate in a more fair way if we had a better system so i bet i bet they would like to save a little bit more of their money but you know i think that there's something to be said to you if you look at some of the polls that came out today and i think you can say that's thanks to the jobs numbers that came out about the month of january but obama is once again beating their candidates when it comes to matters of the economy when it comes to national security and you know he's getting a boost and no matter what republicans are outspending democrats in this sense or at least the super pacs are and you know if they're throwing so much money out and

people still don't like the candidate like they're in trouble to me. just like it's just my guess is that thanks so much for joining us tonight. all right still to come tonight fox news thinks that someone is cooking the books when it comes to the jobs numbers give you details in our tool time and in happy hour now the bit torrent site bus that bites the dust and is a better to have three parents and all that the very. wealthy british style. from time to. market. why don't what's really happening to the global economy

with mike stronger no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to conjure reports. free. education free. for free. free. free. free. download free blogging video for your media project free media party dot com. from los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand severe problem is not enough in-patient beds not enough earth emergency department beds and not enough nurses some members there to take care of all the people who are here the only real health care system that we have in the city of los angeles is the los angeles fire department in fact when i started my venture is a firefighter i didn't want to turn around and i started out going to just do fire

fighting it's about eighty two percent of what we do the fire the problem is medical that a rescue couple weeks ago waited four hours for i've waited sometimes three hours but i was it's a same francis in lynnwood for four hours and fifty minutes standing against a wall with patients and we have a federal law that mandates that you can't turn no one away who seeks care in the emergency room. we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least. our guys it's time for tonight's tool time award and tonight it goes to the crew over at fox and friends the latest jobs report came out last week it was being held

this pretty good news not perfect but an improved but basically all across the board so you could say good news for the country out of course good news for president obama everywhere except. news of course now i'm the first person to take a look at the jobs of course and point out that things are not usually as rosy as the media tries to paint them to be the media rarely reports on the u. six measurement which includes the millions that have left the workforce simply stop looking those that are underemployed part time or marginally attached to the work force so the real unemployment number there is fifteen point one percent and these are important figures to point out as we do here on this show including the problem of those that are long term unemployed don't forget more than forty percent of those that are unemployed have been so for more than six months and longer they're out of a job the harder it is to get a new one but i also point out that these jobs numbers were pretty good comparatively because the numbers show it out fox news obviously just couldn't even admit the jobs numbers had anything positive in them and instead try desperately to spin this as something sinister it's not the way the numbers are reported

throughout the media every single month no it's much bigger than that it is a conspiracy. they playing around in numbers look it's the bureau of labor statistics it's supposed to be nonpartisan but that's the department of labor hilda solis heads the partner of labor hilda solis works directly for obama you know our voters are kind of saying there's there's room for error there's room there's a but when you talk about four million people how do you know i mean how do you how do you know how to make good and i don't think anything anyone should be surprised you know you are gretchen if they're estimating that number ok so it's interpretation is a way in which we would just look at the books they are really gets me for this conversation is all the hints and innuendo there if you want to come out and say the obama administration is deliberately reporting wrong numbers or reporting the unemployment numbers in a different way than previous months or previous administrations and just come out and say it if there's something else going on here please please just let me in on

it now is joe weisenthal the business insider points out they would need to prove quite a large conspiracy not only with the bureau of labor statistics have to be in hoots with the private payroll company a.d.p. whose numbers line right up at the b.l.s. but also the institute for supplying chain management since their surveys of where hiring intentions also line up at the b.l.s. that all the car companies itself report sales which also aligned with what the b.l.s. had to say so clearly they couldn't make this argument so they just went with baseless accusations of cooking the books and vague references to hell the so least that scary pro-labor woman now honestly is kind of entertaining to watch republicans desperately try to respond to something that is positive when it comes to the economy but if they're not spinning conspiracies then they're just simply saying that obama should get any credit for any improvements. celebrating the city point three this is above the emergency line of eight percent and by the way he doesn't get credit for things going. that's right i guess he only gets credit when it's

a bad number of course now the real issue here is how the government and the media report on the jobs numbers every month or. no highlight for you six or the long term unemployment so i suggest that fox news talk about that which again to actually get better last month so for spreading innuendo and conspiracies because reality just doesn't suit their politics fox and friends are tonight's told time winners. high as the time for a happy hour and joining me this evening is andrew blake artie web writer and mike riggs associate editor at reason magazine and reason dot com and the gentlemen thanks for joining me now absolutely not before we could start with this happy hour but tell me more about what happened when you went to occupy d.c. to get roughed up yeah a bunch of cops jemimah good jerks. yeah we're having we're happy you're ok.

my the camera see the space next there is a next time. my turn here that i want to box to. it only cost me twenty bucks. we're happy you're ok so you got whatever ok let's talk more about we've been we've been covering the mega upload story here on this show and basically we're still i think waiting for some details about kim dot com take a look. at one of the world's biggest sides a go up load as bench spirit prosecutors in virginia charged in violating piracy laws the site was shut down yesterday three employees arrested on accusations they facilitated millions of illegal downloads cost copyright holders least five hundred million dollars and. all rights of letting her give all the details on the original read the story here but basically what's happening now in terms of some of the

fallout is there's this site called bt junkie which is one of the largest torrent file sharing sites and they actually shut down voluntarily over the week. i think this is the end of the line my friends the decision is not easy but we decided to voluntarily shut down we've been fighting for years for your right to communicate but it's time to move on it's been an experience of a lifetime we wish you all the best so i what do you think is this going to be a trend like this has mega upload been a big enough example of the other like sharing sites are starting to freak out i think they want to get out of there where they still have their lamborghinis in mazar ati's and ferrari's that they've got by enabling online piracy for over a decade in the united arsenal star also i know i understand irony dot com i know it's entirely the run this i know i know there's totally legit stuff on there there's totally there's a voluntary file sharing by music artist is off but also a lot of these guys got rich through through some sketchy stuff and i want to keep that stuff because the way this works dot com he lost everything he lost so much when he couldn't post bail so i mean these guys they don't want to have to come

under the hammer of like asset forfeiture which is what. i don't want to go under the hammer and it's horrible if you didn't get everything i mean i don't know i don't get i think yeah i mean you bring up a good point there i think it's cute that they think this means we're going to start buying things go better there on the top you're going to have to go to the record store nope going on twelve years of not buying anything and some of the stuff and right now there's all the true there's you know there's people do have legitimate stuff on their you know and that they share and you know i. can't do that we still hamster dance or. we have spent so no one ever did it. i guess that's what you do when you don't. you guys obviously aren't on the internet never mind we can just move on to your. idea. can you imagine i mean you know people get really sensitive in this country about if you talk about experimenting and i think that we've seen fox freak out about things

like this in the past really bad situations take a look get ready for the age of designer babies in l.a. fertility clinic. as it will soon allow parents to choose traits like gender hair color color and skin color doctors there using technology usually used to screen for diseases and there is not a single law on the books in this country to stop them but. that was a scandal yeah now take it take a look at this though now i have specialists arguing that basically they can remove defective genes or face in the healthy d.n.a. from a donor i.e. give a baby a third parent and they're defending this procedure saying it was not properly understood it wouldn't affect the child's genetic makeup but that's really when i get defective genes i go when i return to the gap am i right. this is yes you're right very good i just see this is like one more person for children to resent you know it's like mom dad dad to mom to like i hate all three of you you know you have

all the ones you've read the low hanging around you know yeah for your addiction or you know i think that's very active money trouble your grandparents you get to blame them for right away that we don't have to personal right now. i mean. girls one guy. told me is that i love to have two moms that's. love if you two moms. are you right. that's what i mean yeah you are right you guys. stay away from i'm. going to be super babies i never thought i'd be bombing iran gas is much more serious because we see a lot of leeway right now the rhetoric is heating up making crazy arguments including now ferguson here's a clip of him talking about this piece that he just wrote in the daily beast on i think it was morning joe this morning. people say if we attack iran they're going to attack us back. well the thing to remember is that assuming the united states

does not believe israel in the lurch there's a. huge amount of naval power converging on the strait of hormuz in the persian gulf region with american support even if it's only a naval support there's not actually a whole lot to do. right so here he is advocating for war with iran says israel should go for it in the piece he says war is an evil but sometimes a preventive war can be a lesser evil than a policy of appeasement to people who don't yet know that are the ones still in denial about a way nuclear armed iran would end up costing us all feels like the eve of some creative destruction are you sure it's what you say you sound so charming oh yeah. you do know they have to have and it's. very important as a result that's why is this you don't even sound like a warmonger to me i like them. it's a great game you know it is it is your flying it is horrifying that he's like

teaching all these impressionable young kids about how important it is to have preemptive are you going to have any kind of preemptively ready leveling is that what we're calling it now it. is now we don't know we don't like to use the world word war but no i mean we say country leveling bowl do. yeah what's fixing fixing things fixing i don't blow it out or blow it up now when i never says the word war he always uses much general language and well he acts as if you spread it out a little bit instead of just using the exact word the same way we like to use you know limited humanitarian aid that's why it's more like making a choice as opposed to everything. yeah it's crazy like these are all the reasons that make total sense why people are getting we should go to war with iran and why israel should bomb them and let me just tell everybody why that's wrong and while i listen. to what is your opinion on this we should we shouldn't bomb no ok i don't think you think i was the oldest you don't know your ass goes very murky yeah i

don't i don't really i assume either the viewers know very well how i feel i assumed you guys would know how i feel a bit. nervous. all finish this on super bowl i'm assuming you guys both watch the game no nothing not saw last minute or so i see when i actually have anything this involves the tivo the first one to. be back you think you might get involved in politics take a look. would you ever think of like running for office really believes you know something else to think about and if it forever you know i have no idea right now but you're possibly. no no no i'm scared he doesn't bite in the top collar of fish. so that means you are lying if you have a moron about you know on a dinner job doesn't want the top dollar for sure you are ten times not grant for office he's on television kept on the top call mine all right well not our own he had a ninety nine hundred are you wrong he's right no long days are long and i somehow got up as if without insurance here tonight this is the world just want out of

a bar which is probably not truly probably just walked out of a church i get out of a church now gay and we are going that they're going to show you guys thanks for tuning in and make sure you come back tomorrow auburn camas chris hedges getting back on the program in the meantime governor has become a fan of the on a show on facebook involves on twitter you can find everything if you tube dot com slash the lot of shell and coming up next.
