listen now and i want to do something a little bit different with this segment is the last night we had author chris hedges on the show and we spoke to him about the existence of the black bloc within the occupy movement so he wrote earlier this week and the black bloc was a cancer in the movement and last time he said that it had the power to kill off occupy altogether our viewers had a lot of really strong opinions on this topic clearly it's something that's over which there's a lot of debate out there so i decided to pick some of them out and basically let them speak for themselves so black bird isn't set on you to black block our agent provocateur is by definition their aim is always to provoke violence as such they are no different than undercover police who infiltrate demonstrations just wait until those fifteen million unemployed americans many of the white collar variety receive the last of their unemployment insurance and surance benefit checks and start losing their homes and cars occupy will grow tenfold perhaps more i prefer to see the militia protests protecting protestors free speech rights. said on you tube c'mon chris you know damn well the elites of our forms of capitalism have long

declared the fleecing of america and wherever in the world the globalist and federal government can get away with it you've been covering many other nation events you have seen other nations citizens rise up with violence to fight back the powers that be in resistance to suggest that the american movement for true direct citizen democracy can be accomplished be a peaceful protest is raising the white flag to our enemy of the few. call commented on youtube and somebody give me one instance where the ruling class ever gave anything to the lower class without the threat of violence there must be a good cop and bad cop routine and i think chris hedges as being a good cop on the block as being the bad cop each compliment the other four eleven said on youtube ever since the battle in seattle i've never trusted the black bloc they show up to other people's protest or a garbage cans in the windows and think that they're making a difference in the world he believe in anything you would do your vandalism without wearing your mask like a coward using garbage can lids and hammers are going to compete. with armed police

they're like the guys in fight club except they actually had goals and an agenda black log stay out of my town all right so it's all that i have for you guys right now but thank you our viewers for their passion on this topic and as always remember that we are all ears here so i'll be back with more as usual next week and we'll also try and see if we can see this other perspective too blacklock after the interview with chris hedges. well we knew that it was coming for months and now it looks like domestic drone use is going to come to an airspace near you this week congress passed a bill directed at the f.a.a. which not only will speed up the nation's switch from radar to an air traffic control system based on g.p.s. technology but it will also require that to open up access to unmanned aerial vehicles within four years that means that by september thirtieth two thousand and fifteen drones will be flying in the same airspace as airliners cargo planes business jets and private aircraft as the associated press described it now you can bet the law enforcement agencies are all eagerly awaiting the opportunity but are

we ready for drones to be surveilling our skies and what are the new legal questions will be brought up concerning our privacy to discuss this with me is hardly giger policy counsel at the center for democracy and technology hi thanks so much for joining us tonight thanks for having me now ok as i mentioned this really was a broader f.a.a. bill in order to modernize the way that we control our air traffic control system but of course this little bit about opening up the skies to drones isn't it too and so it passed with bipartisan support but you know it was there anybody out there was there any civil libertarians that decided to speak up and maybe dissent when it came to the voting no and you're right it was a bipartisan effort and passed overwhelmingly in the republican controlled house and then also in the democratic controlled senate there were no hearings the bill passed the house and three years later passed the senate so the thing was fast tracked no hearings on privacy the buildings and nothing about the civil liberties implications of filling the sky with flying robots all right this one was a piece of cake for them how we're going to get into the negatives but first let's

talk about what some of the pros might be right i mean who do you think for the most part is going to be applying for these permits in order to use the airspace is going to be law enforcement a lot of people are going to be applying for it there are definitely some pros the law enforcement is considered the largest domestic market for drones right now but it's going to be used by all sorts of folks commercial entities hobbyists there's. the wide range of technological innovation that can occur with releasing or allowing domestic drones to fly over our skies however as i said that must be done responsibly and i think having privacy and civil liberties protections in place beforehand are very important some of the pros include things we've already seen drones were used to scout out the fukushima nuclear power plant the environmental problems in texas they are helping cops with it with interest fugitives that is true and that is a valid use but they do use should not be under strict as it is currently is is something that i guess the media might be able to start using to write if they want

to fly over a certain space and then get a story get the footage that you can't get with a helicopter as a matter of fact believe that the dailies owned by fox has already flown the drone twice that is right i got it and got into a little bit of trouble with the f.a.a. but surely when it becomes legal for them to do so than short they'll fly a drone strike a point so now when it comes to our privacy one of the dangers because you're right about this too if you actually if you look at what the supreme court has ruled in the past that you have an expectation of privacy if you're in a public space so how much does you know does anything really change if it's a drone doing at first like i said a helicopter or some other type of so you're right that these are court of said that about privacy in a public place that being said drones offer a type of surveillance that we really haven't seen from helicopters that are certainly very different from human observation drones can fly for hours and hours and hours without the need to refuel they can survey an entire town all at once they can be outfitted with facial recognition cameras license plate scanners all

sorts of thermal imaging cameras high definition cameras you name it why if i sniffers so it offers a pervasive surveillance that we just have not seen yet that being said the supreme court and the law in general really is going to have to come to grips with current privacy law and the ways that this is restricted by the first amendment as well if americans privacy is to not enter a very dark period all right so there. few things that you have actually suggested that you think the f.a.a. should do tell us about them so the f.a.a. ought to do two things first of all the f.a.a. with it is currently licensing drones to law enforcement agencies it will license drones to commercial entities and other government agencies on a more widespread basis within the next few years as you had said so for the process for the licensing process it ought to one require all applicants for a drone license to submit a privacy statement that includes the surveillance capabilities of the drone and how they intend to use that information to the f.a.a. should make all the drone licenses and the accompanying privacy statement publicly

available on law and that way it would prohibit secret drone use so we can understand why they are not but those are good ideas let me interrupt you just for one second what do you think the chances are that we might actually see that happen right because currently i mean you have the fact that filed a lawsuit to just try to get the information to the permits that have already been granted once this becomes more widespread you know are they just don't want to be as secretive about it as they are now i have two thoughts about that number one the already has a very similar process in place for aircraft if you're going to be if it is web site you can search for aircraft by the owner of the aircraft name the make and model the tail number and so forth to a lot of the chances of this happening are going to be is going to be up to the american people and it's going to be up to congress if the american people and of congress are silent on this issue and demand that the f.a.a. do something about this the know the changes go down on the other hand if the american people comment to the proposed rule making which we think will come out this coming spring then there is

a greater chance that it will happen because it is will well within the men do you have these sort of transparency requirements the question is whether or not they will actually go forth with good i guess that we can only hope that that people actually speak out and force them to take into account you know some of these things you have to thank so much for joining us thank you for having me thank you. i by now anybody who uses the internet knows that there is a whole side. or war going on but we're not talking about battles between hackers this is about what's taking place on capitol hill monks politicians that are trying to exert control over the internet and its current form think of the way they use the internet as the wild west not a lot of rules not a lot of people tell you what you can and can't do but just like in the wild west there are some people that are trying to rope you win and make sure that everything you do is well documented control and lawmakers are using their weapons laws to do it take for example the protecting children from internet pornographers act of two thousand and eleven this house resolution would force internet service providers to keep logs of their customers activities for eighteen months just in case police

want to review them in the future second mccullough have seen it pointed out this only covers i.s.p. so anybody who gets to the web through a wireless router like say anybody to a web cafe or they wouldn't be tracked by anyone else who goes through legitimate i s p's could get screwed over here just think about holding on to all of your information all of your web history just in case police want to see everything you do online and a scary some even say it is the law enforcement to circumvent the fourth amendment meaning that your right to privacy from police goes out the window because see the thing here is that it's being sold as all the name of protecting the kids the name of the bill would make you think that it's all about protecting the kids of those bad guys on the web when you actually look at what's in the meat of the legislation you realize of the title is very misleading as the legislation is slowly gaining support and it's already made that a committee were thankful to report that the online community is also noticing what this bill is really about and they're the ones who want to stop it opposition to h.r. nine hundred eighty one which is what the bills called comes from several fronts

demand progress has already received ninety thousand signatures patriot groups have written blog posts on how damning this would be that they came law and of course the read of there is have expressed opposition to it to paul supporters are also coming out against the protecting children from child pornographers act now if you'd like to join this growing opposition we'd like to show you who's behind the proposal and if you're a regular viewer of the show i'm going to say you probably aren't. to be that shocked it is none other than a representative smith the same one that wrote and co-sponsored so but so is tech there as mike masnick pointed out he's perhaps the single largest threat to freedom on the internet right now so there you have it want to join the movement then you might as well put lamar smith as enemy number one because despite criticism he's sticking to a guns to his guns when it comes to protecting the protecting children from child pornographers act so far and he's working tirelessly to change the internet as we know it and we can only hope that we can see the same public outcry for h.r. nine hundred eighty one as we saw for so by just

a few months back. now still to come tonight congress might have said they're putting their foot down on earmarks but looks like lawmakers are saying one thing and doing the opposite of details and full time and are happy hour and night for the whale to be considered people and are noisy might be dating somebody who related to believe it or not there's a website for that what's going on with them. from

los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand severe problem is not enough inpatient beds not enough earth emergency department beds and not enough nurses commandos 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 tear your ass so 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 i've had a rescue couple weeks ago waited for hours for i've waited sometimes three hours i was it's a same francis' in lynnwood for four hours and fifty minutes standing against

a wall 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. i guys it's time for sides to a time of war and giving it to the lawmakers over on capitol hill as if the past year or so washington isn't making overtures to combating our debt crisis by pledging to keep out the pork several politicians is spoken openly about how earmarks have been abused with our country nearly sixteen trillion dollars in debt i can't believe that the majority here in the senate still think it's our job to

take home the bacon to their states and to their special interest that's how they pass it bloated budgets they just sprinkle a little sugar in there for everyone around the senate and in the house and we passing sayings. well the calls were answered and the obama administration's announced that he'll veto or the administration is now says they will veto anything with earmarks in it and both parties in the house and the senate have also put a two year moratorium on any pork attached to bills keep that in mind because important both sections of congress all five hundred thirty five members have said no to earmarks for two years that sounds like a pretty definitive statement right well according to the washington post politicians are having problems following their own rules water shock after an in-depth investigation it turns out that sixteen lawmakers have found a way to circumvent this moratorium and finding ways to provide aid to their states and more importantly programs that are tied to the families of those politicians yes somehow it's illegal to fund your own family members when you're in congress

here's just a few examples of those lawmakers arizona representative ed pastor part of the house appropriations committee and he has a say over the budget the national city nuclear security administration turns out since his daughter laura has become the head of a scholarship program back home for students and since she was named director of the program daddy sent over about four million dollars for away from the nuclear agency's budget a pastor isn't the only one who's funneled money into education initiatives democratic representative sheila jackson lee has obtained for earmarks for the university of houston since two thousand and nine which has come to five point three million dollars for the school but she's not just passionate about education she also loves her husband elwyn dearly and i mention that he's worked at that university for decades and call it a coincidence but elwyn has had quite a few promotions over the years and he now sits as the university's v.p. for community relations and institutional access and he makes over two hundred thousand dollars a year a representative robert andrews of might have taken some cues from sheila leave

because he has also secure earmarks for college with his help rucker's at law school in camden has received three point three million dollars in earmarks and guess who's an associate dean of the school that's right his spouse. senator tim johnson is a member of the set of the procreation is committee and has been a cheerleader for the pentagon's math an engineering teaching initiative called starbase so with the help of seven other senators johnson dropped an extra four million dollars into the education program and did i mention here that johnson's wife barbara is the supervisor for starbase so now that i've shared those few examples with you should also take this time to point out that it's not that i don't support more funding going towards education believe me i do but lawmakers are prohibited from using earmarks or programs will benefit themselves their spouses or their immediate families of the post points out most don't disclose their spouses employers so nobody checks and i guess nobody knows but i think of the message here is clear the rules do not apply to that despite their recent very

public opposition to earmarks as their way to help with the deficit at the end of the day they still want those dollars going to their favorite pet projects now some of the politicians that i mentioned began funding these projects per pre mark moratorium and it continued straight through as if nothing has changed at all they just found ways around it take for example last year's defense authorization bill house armed services committee made a billion dollar special fund where members could add amendments and direct funds to projects within their districts that make no mistake of it those lawmakers swear that those don't count as earmarks after all that would violate the ban they put on themselves so they said that didn't count because the programs would have to compete to actually get that money thankfully another senator staff did some research pointing out that one hundred fifteen of the two twenty five amendments were previously slated to be earmarks so i think you guys get the point lawmakers might be trying to portray themselves the good guys of by saying that the put their projects aside for the sake of the country but in reality they just found a really clever way to work around the moratorium that they themselves put in place

so for demonstrating yet again the corruption and politics go hand in hand we're giving congress nights' tools i'm award. guys time for happy hour joining me this evening are two producer jenny churchill and comedian and young guys thanks to your like all the dark dressed crowd today are we on the way to black you know and being to our own three states last night were and. let's talk about whales and whether the ones at sea world are slaves take a look. at the people have a good treatment of animals named for this is plain to see and demand their release peter see this in a news release five orca's are violently seized from the ocean and taken from their

families as babies they were kept in small concrete tanks and reduced to perform stupid tricks. you know what i think about peta so you could just go. oh i guess my point here would be i don't really understand how they could be much richer i would think they would measure their wealth an amount of fish that they're given and they're given a lot of fish you know the day that they can go to an a.t.m. and you know take out the cat because they would be rich or if they were in the wild now they're saying they're slaves because they're forced to do things they don't want to do but i'm just saying like how can you say they're slaves they're being you know monetary only compensated me a very for scene the shamrocks show at seaworld i have the worst any time that anyone has to dance around forcefully to we've built this city on rock n roll that is the worst they are slaves actually the real deal here is that the trainers are there like their i guess relatives on the the lawsuit so these trainers who have gone to school for marine biology for eight years and have doctorates are forced to

wear it like sequins and dance around with them kind of i think more for the trainers than the whales are and i think free willy is annoying. to introduce this we've spoken about oklahoma's person good bill a number of times here on the show it's the one that basically says that conception or that human life starts the most conception and it basically make contraception illegal in the state and so now one lawmaker is actually fighting back taking a little bit of. a little something from the meaning of life take a listen. to . so listen to this

basically senator johnson who represents oklahoma's forty eighth district has introduced an amendment to the bill mandating that the same rights and benefits be granted to sperm basically saying any action which manage actually its or otherwise deposit semen anywhere but in a woman's vagina shall be interpreted and construed as an action against an unborn child i love it i think it's genius we don't want to go there i had a bad reputation is now officially illegal now it's murder because it would be letters i get i don't know you so sure there's only about you know i think that we should actually take this a step further and we should have you know kind of a shout out funeral type thing for all of the sperm that was so brutally murdered. at a time you know every teenage boy is a mass murderer i don't we should have a moment of silence every show for all the murdered sperms out there my thought but the very moment of silence yeah like the whole show possibly it could work. right.

let's that we have something else that we should cry about a little while back and we're really excited. and you love this when it concerned online gambling take a look. see now we're soon you'll be able to. campbell online the city is the first in the nation to do those measure part of the d.c. budget which just passed the thirty day congressional waiting period the wagering expected to start late this summer well the d.c. council decided to just ruin everyone's life today and they did so they took votes they on the online gambling and decided that no dice that's no longer allowed and they enacted a ban on new strip clubs in an area of north east because there's already four of them i think there's a wee dispensary and so they're afraid that it's going to become the new red light district of d.c. i'm a lot more concerned about the personally the strip clubs and the gambling but i do see that we're just little upset i hear they don't need to add more strip clubs and

i'll look at you're going to ban some you're going to ban the way you want to give you room you don't want to give room for expansion for a new strip club walk out there and it's actually going to come in a lot of women have to quit their are themselves through college i understand that but there's no walk dances in d.c. and i'll look to you can remember you understand so you know it's terrible going to maryland. i mean i think it's ironic because i want to monitor these people on the d.c. city council and see how many of them are caught in a red light district type area over the next year because it's always the ones wanting to regulate these types of things who are then later in a scandal with a prostitute is this a red light district type area really even exist anymore to be honest. let's talk about porn star movie from strippers a porn stars saucer grid a she before she was trying to just read to children in school and cause enough for some people. these photographs a post about to look innocent enough a nice looking woman greeting two young students elementary school in compton but

that young woman is also this young woman stosh a great model and award winning actress make that award winning actress points. all right so she's in trouble again turns out a sense films are releasing. of her final scenes as part of artists and they wanted to donate a version of the proceeds without her knowledge of the national education association read across america program but they don't want the money they said no thanks we don't want your cash because there's no money money really should we just take the money even if it's from porn again i don't really see you know i want to take something to help the children read who cares who is going through first put themselves through college porn stars can pay for reading for america i find the saddest part of this that she's being drug into this again and for no reason i mean she doesn't want to donate this money they want to joni this money on her behalf they're trying to create buzz and they're capitalizing off of her name i actually think it's kind of sad for her she just wanted to read to some kids controversy now

some organization is taking advantage of her name controversy that you probably goes by her real name when she reads it is not the stage and. i don't know about that we didn't get to the last story but we're going to have to do it tomorrow because it's about incest and fun things are joining me tonight that's i'm going to have things we're going to make you come back tomorrow alex sides all this going to be on for happy hour attempt to talk about incest so in the meantime don't forget to become a fan of the launch on facebook and follow us on twitter if there's anything you ever miss you can catch it on youtube dot com slash deal or shell and for me up next is the new.
