it so why self identified liberal democrats suddenly think that it's ok and approve of this detention center staying open i find that to be unforgivable and a weakness of character on their part and the poll also showed us that eighty three percent of respondents approve of obama's use of the drone program to go after terrorist suspects overseas including seventy seven percent of liberal democrats now right there's an argument to be made for precision strikes that don't put more u.s. troops in harm's way but as i document here on the show on a daily basis it's the way that they go about the drone program it's an issue it's the secrecy which doesn't allow us to know how many civilians are killed which holds nobody accountable and instead only fuels anti-american sentiment and the countries whose skies they patrol that's enough for me not to approve of the administration's drone program if we instill transparency and accountability that allows us to have a legal and ethical debate about it on a public level then we can talk. let me now get to what i thought was the worst

part of this poll for which i do not see any room for debate or varied interpretations this poll found that of those who approve of drones targeting terrorist suspects sixty five percent still agree even if the suspect is a u.s. citizen now this is what we get to the point where it doesn't matter where you find yourself on the political spectrum this is where we get into basic fundamental values that we hold dear in this country as a citizen you have the right to due process and you know what these respondents approve of is the government throwing that part of the constitution out the window completely circumventing the rule of law so this means bay approve the president the united states acting like a dictator or a monarch playing judge jury and executioner all in one no it's not forget in the case of anwar locky we have never been handed any evidence to back up the administration's claims that he played an operational role in plotting terrorist attacks against the united states and secretary of defense trying to claim last week that he had wanted to or how do you wanted to he could return to the u.s.

in question being placed on that assassination list but to others no way to find out if you're on one of these lists because no lawsuit was ever brought no public statement was ever made about it and the only reason we found out was because of a leak but it's not just about on want to lockie it's about what we've allowed this president to do how we've allowed him to change the rules and set an incredibly dangerous precedent and sure they did it without asking i certainly would not have allowed this why approving these respondents have just given the executive branch the permission to do this again and again and again so this isn't about terrorism this is about standing by certain values and laws that are put in place to shield us from tyranny and this poll shows us that these respondents out of fear or accepting.

i had time for a happy hour and joining me this evening r.t. correspondent christine for sal and anthony rendez own director of economic research for the reason foundation is your enemy guys. so herman cain is about to make an appearance and have a few things to say like everyone else did the pack about how liberals are the worst or the cancer of the earth and blah blah blah but there is the way that he said it i think that deserves a little making fun of take a listen. going to be brain. and ballots at the ballot box we outsmart the liberals we must outsmart the stupid people that are trying to ruin america. so the stupid people are ruining america so we decided to take this moment while a good comment just remember some of the moments about herman cain you know some of the things that we loved about him. and when they asked me who is the president of

becky becky becky becky stan stan i'm going to say you know i don't know. view china as a potential military threat yes no military threat they've indicated that they're trying to develop. the will to do you think i'm dumb enough not to study up on these issues i've been studying up on these issues for months. anyway things this do of people are really american almost ruined america by running for president he's not stupid people can ruin america spark people he's a good and i don't think he's that will thank god he's not really america but if you had better luck to. have a self-fulfilling prophecy libya the most interesting thing to me i was at sea-tac yesterday he spoke yesterday he was walking around everyone was shaking his hand is that he's sort of become a prominent hero in the republican party i even joe the plumber who i interviewed

said i wish herman wouldn't have stepped out i don't know who to back now i was going to back herman cain herman cain despite what you just saw there has become kind of a famous republican donor why he's a remarkable are ruining america because they still like people like herman cain is there pale and despite all of the stupid things that they say and ann coulter is another one just as stupid as much as if. there's. only beautiful women are republicans. really and. i'll hold my tongue on that i was going. to say one of the savvier on a friday let's just talk about some other fun stuff that's going on at the pac so you know conservatives not so doubt the gays but it turns out if you take a look at craigslist there are some people that are cruising for some love and what i'm saying is in the city the city for the next few days looking for a deal a guide a j.-o. with maybe a more normal young professional guy here cleancut five ten one fifty auburn blue

six. if you're at the marriott wardman park even better be in shape one of the masculine discreet and chill your pick that's mine. you're clearly not a pro. you know to me but so that. was really this entire thing is happening another one says getting a group of discrete guys together from c. pack for a group being in the hotel room send stats and a body pic and let's do this put the name of the closing speaker in the subject line so i know you're real and last one by guy back we're going to meet up with other c. pack by guys mostly interested in oral but more is ok with the right guy why thirty five. very discreet smiley face and staff and photo can host in my room tonight people are getting down at the back well of course they're getting down at sea-tac they get down all the time the only thing is group think your hotel room you get

you know if it's a world ok ray that doesn't. even know what half of that stuff means yeah i may have been overthinking it a little bit too much but every one of those advertisements is reading through had something about like send a picture so i know you're real and know when you're high but yeah they like to put you on the sad end when they're behind your like it took everything within me to just like just send some like massive responses screw with these guys like how do the how do you know i've not experienced enough in trolling for sex through craigslist but i am a little shocked this works well it was interesting to hear you know you have by guy everyone wants to be discreet why can't they just be out about it all we have to there are conservative there you at c.n.n. last year i mean i was there yesterday i mean well and the interesting thing is heritage this year because they don't have to boycott because the daughter out is been sort of shoved to the sidelines. real quick let's take a look at. kagan how to say about this idea that's now leaving

a senate committee and heading to the senate floor it's about cameras in the supreme court. if they think you know more about you if you allow cameras in the court room as we have here what do you think would be a good idea of what the cameras with the lights blaring and i say right now i think yes you really know but. actually i've said before that i do think it would be a good idea and i differ from some of my colleagues. i can't imagine who it is that he differs from but i'm i'm down and i say why not televise the supreme court i mean this is one of the three branches of government making decisions that impact all the people of this country of course it should be televised the fact that it's twenty twelve and we only get drawings that come out of the most important that's crazy you get audiotapes too i mean they should be televised but this shouldn't be a u.s. congressional bill but should tell her you and i agree that's kind of where you we just have to get those last story this is the special that they're having at pizza hut for valentine's day proposal if that's. ok listen to this well

wants to help you you are that's right they're offering a proposal package for ten thousand and ten dollars ok for that amount of money you get a ruby engagement ring flowers fireworks a limo service and of course a pizza hut party pack to celebrate. i want to meet the girl that would say yes to that you have ruined my belt. you know how a girlfriend watches this and i'm going to come up with something arsenal are movies like illegal in this country and second of all i thought there might be i don't know i don't i read that somewhere anyways tell me it's had available so we need to follow only ten and below and we the only i mean you actually you actually get seriously and you can't buy your own like that like that's i maybe i maybe you know you just because you know the exact you know i think that the key point there but the ten thousand dollars buy your own money on order a box of little favorite words this actually might be a good value i don't know depends on where you get together up but i would think

you join me tonight that's it for tonight so thanks for tuning in make sure you come back next week we're trying out a new segment called monday hangover could be a new panel so you want to miss it and in the meantime you know where to find us on the facebook on twitter and on you tube and coming up next the news. los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand severe problem is not enough inpatient beds not enough urgency department beds and not enough nurses to man those that take care of all the people who are 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 ventures for fighter i didn't want to do 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 that's not a risk you couple weeks and waited for hours for i've waited sometimes three hours

if. you. he's so wild and politics design guys movement is trying to defuse tensions between israel and iran the founder will tell us why he believes it will take a grassroots movement to prevent or. it was very. very relieved that. the modern we're. sitting in to stand up for union rights seventy five years after poor conditions drove workers to strike many of the issues they protest to remain relevant today was this protest the original occupy movement. my bodyguard will back me up on this all pretty girls

are right wingers. red white and full of patriotism conservatives have descended on washington d.c. for a second day and where there is movers there is also the occupy movement to shake things up well take it to the twenty twelve conservative political action conference. the government of the united states shreds your rights every day it capture cell phones it reads or email the verdict is in fox business network has pulled the plug on judge andrew napolitano show freedom watch but was a poor ratings over his libertarian viewpoint and made fox. his mike you be the jury. and good evening it's friday february tenth seven pm in washington d.c. i'm christine they're watching our team. well it began this evening with the rising tensions between israel and iran sanctions imposed by the united states and the

european union are starting to hurt the people of iran in a major way with access to food and other imports blocked now the west hopes this pain will bring iran back to the bargaining table in terms of its nuclear program but in the meantime israel is stepping up its threats that an attack on iran may be imminent with israel's defense minister a good brock drawing a line in the sand he calls it the quote zone of immunity the point at which israel could no longer put off taking action but in the west efforts to isolate iran india has announced it will send a delegation into iran and has now emerged as the number one concern to consumer of iranian oil or new indications that china will also be sending in officials and this global chess match looks like it may be a messy one and a very long one peter joseph is the founder of the guys movement his group works to tackle some of the toughest issues from global economic crisis to other diplomatic issues and more now he just returned from a week in israel and earlier i asked him about his impression and what the people

there are talking about take a look. israel is in a very complex state on one side you have a very intelligent public that is not representative of the state that's causing all of these general warlike interests interest in the occupation the prisons of the west bank and gaza and everything else that i'm sure we've talked at length to death about so you know it's important to initially point is an incredible culture there that really does not represent the state and in the speech that i gave to a sold out audience full of not only israelis but palestinians there is a general interest to want to see all of these problems stop and the movements attempt broadly speaking is to get the world to come together with the general foundation that these issues have to find resolution holistically or we're going to have some very very caustic problems in the future world war three the first to mention and when you say these issues as you say i mean war is one of these issues and it's not just as simple is should we have war or should we i mean there is. you

know number one a huge defense industry both in the u.s. and israel you know that a lot of people say may have an interest in war i know you've written about in the past you know as far as consequences of war you've said that it benefits the upper class and it results in the denigration of the lower class talking about this divide as it relates to war and if you think there's an undercurrent of something else here other than a legitimate threat. we often hear the term geopolitics the correct term is geo economics. if you go down to the foundation of the state near to look at revolution ten thousand years ago suddenly we had we went from hunter gatherer type of nomadic societies to fixed cities mesopotamia suddenly the introduction of the permanent military you ended up with this sort of corporate approach to economic management defined as the state which invariably generates imbalance and conflict of the necessity to override the interests of other states very similar by the way

to how our economic principles work across the world through the corporate enterprise in the free for all market as i often refer to it it's a competitive war like system so in the broader scope what do we expect when the states begin to behave this way if you were to look at a map of all the territorial disputes all the resource acquisitions all the end exemptions going going through history it's one massive affair of warfare thousands and thousands of wars that have existed for the past five thousand years that have been noted so the problem is much more underlying we can talk about the specifics of the israeli palestinian conflict we can talk about the chinese russia and iranian issue with respect to power development against us israel canadian and western interests which is very terrifying by the way especially given the financial burden and collapse we're seeing across the world which is always a characteristic of warfare on the horizon but underneath the whole thing is the economic promise and until we find economic resolution until we begin to learn how to share our resources speaking poetically but very literally so we can to define

a new level of what we see as peace meaning a collaborative effort not state entities seeking their own advantage over each other but something new which i could talk at length as well we're not going to see any resolution to any of these issues and that's a fundamental premise and part of the type of economic reforms is like a movement pushes forward with what was your reasoning peter for taking this and i know you've got a lot of followers and from around the world what was your reasoning for going physically to israel and speaking there. well because it is the hotbed of a great deal of tension in the world it's seen as one of the most pivotal crises and positions of destabilization in the world it was symbolic to go there and to speak on the issue of war and the lecture that i gave was on the broad definition of the state it's it's it's evolution as i mentioned in prior just a moment ago and how we really can resolve this issue so i went there for symbolic reasons but also obviously because of the growing tensions between between these

massive super powers that are now dividing themselves as i mentioned earlier that can very easily trigger another world war which is what terrifies all of us those are the few levels then you've laid out there you've laid out some of these problems and i think that there anyone who sort of is following what's going on keeping their hand on the poles of sort of geopolitics here as you say geo economics. these issues are out there but you know are there solutions available and i guess i mean or do you just think war is inevitable between iran and the west well i'm not a prophet but i will say that generally speaking war has been the never the bull for a long time based on the very nature of the structures that have been installed and the very dynamic of our economic system are there are solutions that can be had in the meantime yes but i don't think they're going to come from speaking truth to power as they say i am in deep support of a large grassroots global movement that unifies humanity to step up against this

rather sick distortion that has emerged throughout power across the board we can talk about the neuroses of the us empire we can talk about the neuroses of various or arabic states of israel as well we can talk about all of these things to death as far as the specifics but at the very core of this comes a deep social change that's required and it's going to take a scratch or its movement to move this forward i have little faith in the change coming from coming from the state empires well we understand that you'll be working on it in the meantime peter joseph founder says that geist movement. well tomorrow marks the seventy fifth anniversary of the end of the flint sit down strike this is kind of a big deal and very interesting we're talking tens of thousands of people banding together to fight for better working conditions and u.s. auto manufacturing plants so it all started when the united auto workers union targeted two general motors plants and workers showed up at work and sat down inside so that new workers couldn't come in and replace them and nearly shut down the company and before long other plants and followed suit and it took

a while but they did get the attention finally of the big boys the heads of the auto makers so let's fast forward to today this year many of the same issues will come up as the subject of unions is back up for debate of course we have answer union wisconsin governor scott walker facing a recall election because of his policies but also as we said here many states across this country are working hard to dismantle the rights of so many fought for today and also to seventy five years ago take a look. it started in late december nineteenth thirty six workers that two general motors plans include michigan found their working conditions unbearable long hours no time for bathroom breaks and excessively cold conditions in the winter and hunt in the summer there were people who were dropping over because of the heat and the other workers were told just step over them until we can get them out of the way. they didn't they didn't slow down the line they

didn't stop and. so the workers stopped at themselves by coming into work and sitting down it was it was tacky we very revolutionary and very successful and i think it was extremely important in creating the modern way that john crawford works long hours on an assembly line today for the same company that was targeted in the sit down strike general motors so workers have been down for forty four days workers stayed put as their employers turned off the heat and blocked food deliveries it was the dead of winter but still they stayed sean crawford great grandfather was one of them. was actually. several times has just broken on two occasions was thrown off the list. because he was the highest true to form sit down straight what started into manufacturing plants in flint

michigan seventy five years ago is spread throughout the country with workers from both in and out of the auto industry taking part you could say it was the original occupy movement the. the and the similarities are eerie right. now from the occupation itself. to the more extreme tactics hand. to the way in which they were dealt with by police they saw the flint police approaching in full riot gear they attacked with tear gas and guns. and violence just like today what's your what's your own perhaps the most striking parallel though the core issues they're fighting for one reason proffered joined occupy flint in so far that is. or you smarter people who are drawing the

everyone else in humility the excess capital that comes from their it or that struggle always despite historic battles fought and ground game and i am confident that after a thorough. there will be a better understanding between employer and employee. and better still i hope the conditions will be improved under rich men and women labor. law. the confidence of labor friendly governor frank murphy prevailed on february eleventh one thousand nine hundred thirty seven a deal was struck recognizing the united auto workers which had only been formed the year before as the exclusive bargaining representatives to g.m.'s employees they. shortly after a local business weekly declared the revolution is here thank you.

christine for south r.t. well just a little earlier i spoke to labor journalist mike allen about the significance of this historical day and some of the issues still relevant today here's his take now what i found most interesting about that right there is that you know you brought the point that the u.a.w. is for the for the strong and organizers are the plants have been going on for the better part of a decade and in that one moment they were able to come together and i think big lesson for labor leaders as we hear a lot of talk about. you know i guess organizing is characterized by powerpoint and one year strategies and there's never this big long term picture of you know it might take ten thirteen years to organize a couple hundred workers but that's a struggle we need to keep an eye on and i think that's the biggest lesson is that sometimes change happens overnight but it happened as a result of a lot of organizing going for that i want to put up a headline that was in a newspaper and this is what it says this is caterpillar lays off locked out

canadian workers moves jobs to low wage indiana i mean this is really interesting because becoming a right to work state. the article i'll also ask could indiana be the new mexico talk a little bit about what is going on right now in terms of this sort of dismantling of rights so caterpillar is a company that makes locomotives and london ontario as well as a lot of other places the workers in london ontario were making about thirty dollars an hour and the company one of them cut their wages in half i mean you know magic somebody comes and ask you to cut your income in half that's a life changing experience. they ask them to cut their wages in half they walk the workers out and then they decided they were going to move the. to right to work indiana for half the wages and you know they put out advertisements for managers that were experienced university and union three cultures so there's this this experience where you know i've talked to a lot of canadian workers where american workers you know are now becoming the new

mexico for canada new mexico for a lot of europe which quickly becoming the labor laws are so weak you on the flip side of this though mike i mean for anyone who watched daniel speak after the state of the union and and said this very thing but said it is a very positive term for people who are out of work and watching us right now saying you know what i wouldn't mind making fifteen dollars an hour because i've been making nothing for the last year you know what's sort of the insight that you lend to those people who have been out of work who are very. about the prospect of working at a manufacturing plant in indiana or other places that maybe right to work. you know because it is a job yeah i mean sure that's that's the big problem is that there's so many people that are wounded do that are willing to go in and scab on other people like that that are so desperate that they're willing to go in and do that kind of work you know what was really interesting is last month he announced that you know jobs had grown and you know one employment to go down to seven point eight percent or so

well was two hundred forty three jobs it was eight anywhere from eight point three down to a point that unemployment was going down dramatically but the more tony says it was that real wages have gone down by two percent in the last year so while jobs are increasing it's having an effect on wieters and that's the rate front so when it's at our destination fast food and lower well we're even more of anything for less reduced and i think the lesson i've learned is you know the only way you're going to will stop that race to the bottom is have everybody been to get in a kind of solidarity and i think that's the real lesson of the sit down strike and that's the guy that i interviewed that you saw in that report sean crawford really interesting because he has so many ties to the flint sit down strike and he today is a number of the united auto workers union works you know long days on the assembly line and he said that. one of the problems that he sees is he doesn't see that kind of solidarity happening today because of what you call you know the desperation

that we see and you know what's it going to take for that kind of same cohesiveness to happen again with in the large numbers that we saw seventy five years ago why he gets already starting to happen i think that's the great thing about occupy is that you know it's sort of like a training camp and people sort of come together and they've learned that you know people collectively can take action and you can really start changing the dialogue but in the real last couple weeks there's been a number of organizing victories a cablevision in new york jean kansas city and the big common to nomination seems that folks are just at a point where they've had enough where they can't cut the. and what it can cut their wages for the more we can do that i think are starting to fight back because of it but what about i mean what we're seeing right now twenty twelve is going to be a big year especially as you know i was at c.p. i guess today a lot of talk about the different ideas that republicans and democrats have about unions and you know this is going to be on the forefront of discussion for the next few months right to work versus non right to work states.
