have 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 isms said on youtube blacklock 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 insurance benefit checks and start losing their homes and cars occupy will grow tenfold perhaps more i prefer to see the militia protest 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
1:31 pm
citizen democracy can be accomplished be a peaceful protest is raising the white flag to our enemy of the few now calm calm calm comment on you tube 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 protests throw garbage cans in the windows and think that they're making a difference in the world he will even 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 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
1:32 pm
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 also requires the f.a.a. to open up access to unmanned aerial vehicles within four years so 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 it'll be brought up concerning our privacy or 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.
1:33 pm
bill in order to monitor modernize the way that we control our air traffic control system but of course this little bit about opening up the skies to drones is in 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 you know in your eyes that it was a bipartisan effort passed overwhelmingly in the republican controlled house and then also in the democrat controlled senate there were no hearings the bill passed the house and then three days later passed the senate so the thing was fast tracked no hearings on privacy to build into the thing about the civil liberties implications of filling the sky with flying robots all right this one was a piece of cake part of the house we're going to get into the negatives but first let's talk about what some of the pros might be right i mean what do you think for the most part is going to be applying for these permits and hershey's 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
1:34 pm
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. 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 as under strict as it is currently this 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 shore they'll fly
1:35 pm
a drone strike a point so now when it comes to our privacy what are the danger because you can read 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 green court has 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 in 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
1:36 pm
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. two 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 of 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 what they're going to get 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 when you have the the law suits to just try to get
1:37 pm
the information to the permits that have already been granted once this becomes more widespread you know are they just going 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 go into the f.a.a. 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 if they 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 dates 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
1:38 pm
things you have to thank so much for joining us thank you for having me thank you. i buy 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 in and make sure that everything you do is well documented in 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 the cull of sea nets 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
1:39 pm
information all of your web history just in case police want to see everything you do online kind of scary some even say of this 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 in 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 has already made it out of 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 became 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
1:40 pm
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 lamar smith the same one that wrote and co-sponsored those techniques 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. one thousand nine hundred one as we saw for so by just a few months back. now so 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 unfold and a happy hour a night should a whale be considered people and are no more they might be dating somebody who are
1:41 pm
1:42 pm
1:43 pm
i guys aside for tonight's all time war and giving it to the lawmakers over on capitol hill if the past year or so washington isn't making overtures to combating our debt crisis by pledging to keep out the poor 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 on the bacon to their states and to their special interest
1:44 pm
that's how they passed the bloated budgets they just sprinkle a little sugar in there for everyone around the senate and in the house and we pelosi 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
1:45 pm
here 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 sick 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 her 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 it might have taken some cues from sheila leave
1:46 pm
because he has also secure earmarks for a college with his help rucker's at law school in camden has received three point three million dollars in earmarks i guess is 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 oh 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 say and i guess nobody knows but i think of the message here is clear the rules do not apply to that despite their recent
1:47 pm
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 year 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 to 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 band 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 as the good guys of by saying a bill 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
1:48 pm
so for demonstrating yet again the corruption and politics go hand in hand we're giving congress knights tools i'm award. guys time for a happy hour joining me this evening are two praise for jenny churchill and comedian and young guys. like you're like all the dark dressed crowd today not only on the want to black to rule and being humid and tomorrow in three states last night i mean what's going on. let's talk about whales and whether the ones at sea world are slaves take a look. the people at the treatment of animals named frank. and demand their release peter say this in a news release five orcas are violently seized from the ocean and taken from their families as babies they were kept in small concrete tanks and reduced to perform
1:49 pm
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 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 very for sheen the shamrocks show at seaworld i have it's the worst any time that anyone has to dance around for spoiler we 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 they're i guess relatives on the lawsuit so these trainers who have gone to school for marine biology for eight years and have
1:50 pm
doctorates are forced to wear like sequins and dance around with some kind of i think more for the trainers than the whales are and i think free willy is annoying whatever. 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 star is the most conception and i would 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.
1:51 pm
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 to which man a jack relates 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 did way to go there and had a bad reputation is now officially illegal now it's murder because it would be let alone to get out of are you so sure there's no impact no 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 that 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 murder sperms out there my thought but very long moment of silence so yeah like the whole show possibly it could work. but . let's that we have something else that we should cry about but
1:52 pm
a 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 gamble 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 a 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 is. we 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 seem to work for a little bit right here they don't need to add more strip clubs and i'll look at you we're going to ban them you're going to ban the way you want to give you room
1:53 pm
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. there's a red light district type area really even exist anymore to be honest all right let's talk about porn star moving from strippers a porn stars saussure gray before she was trying to just read to children in school and cause enough for some people. these photographs post about to see look innocent enough a nice looking woman greeting two young students ever said elementary school in compton but that young woman is also this young woman stosh
