behalf and lobbying for their delisting of you or mr mix the chasm exam scuse me ask you to please tell me who has been tried and locked up because of posting a video on you tube and what was the video that was posted here's one example just last september pakistani born jew borrow twenty four years old a native of pakistan and a resident of woodbridge virginia was arrested for providing material support for the terrorist group a you. state department does it designated terrorist organization or he is accused of producing an uploading a propaganda video to youtube on behalf of. just putting up a video that's just one example in two thousand and nine a staten island businessman named job it was sentenced to nearly six years in prison for assisting terrorists by providing satellite television services to hezbollah's television station so those are just two examples of the many people that are going to rest of the u.s. for providing material support for a terrorist organization all u.s.

lawmakers openly advocate for and support and so there's no way around it there are double standards in our justice system for those in positions of power next i want to respond to a viewer that is offended by my comments about whether or not whales should be given the same constitutional protections against slavery as human beings remote login said on facebook shame on you promoting animal abuse and making fun of their suffering and misery you hate animals we've got that and that's not a reason to make fun of their pain while you're sipping on your damn martinis so f. off and leave them alone peta annoys you good you said that over and over but you're annoying the whole nation making fun of animal abuse doesn't make you cute because you are not and doesn't make you funny because you are not so in all caps leave animals alone now first of all sorry for any offense that i caused anybody i certainly don't intend to make fun of the suffering of animals i'm also pretty sure that my rantings against some of peter's more absurd efforts are not annoying the whole nation only. had the attention of the entire nation to be something now as

for me thinking i'm cute and funny and for all the cursing directed towards me when i am just getting personal but no seriously obviously i don't condone the abuse of animals i also don't agree with all the people tactics that p.j. uses and i'm british sure there are a lot of people out there that are turned off by that but attacking peta doesn't mean that i'm making fun of animal suffering now finally i want to respond to a viewer watched my fireside friday on self described liberals support of the policies of the war on terror from drone strikes to targeted killings and d.h. does comment on you two alone it is one hundred percent right as a real liberal former obama supporter i can only look at those who support his administration's lies and fear mongering as useless and pathetic you know i think that there are a lot of former obama supporters out there who listen to the president on the campaign trail but he railed against the war on terror policies of george w. bush i believe i did but what we've seen from the administration is not only a continuation of the bush war on terror policies but

a massive and scary expansion of them so you can make excuse after excuse for obama as many do but that's the truth and so i think that it's time that some of these self described liberals that support everything from get mo to drone strikes against us citizens need to realize that so it's of my ranting today but i'll be back with more as usual later in the week. while certain areas of defense are taking cuts in the new pentagon budget from troop size to weapons system one areas getting beefed up is special operations now we knew this was the course after the president's latest strategic military review but it looks like admiral william mcraven who leads the special operations command wants more according to the new york times mcraven is seeking more author ready to move his forces faster and without going through the typical pentagon process for overseas deployments so essentially making it easier to move more forces abroad is that a change of the pentagon bureaucracy needs or doesn't open the door for less accountability more dishonesty which as lieutenant colonel davis his report shows

us is rampant in the highest ranks joining me to discuss it is retired lieutenant colonel anthony shaffer senior fellow for the center for advanced defense studies and pact america also author of the book operation dark heart tony thanks so much for joining us tonight and i mean i i know where you stand i know that you support more use of special operations right of smaller more targeted more purse projects are operational out there but do you think that there needs to be. more room for william mcraven fratto mcraven you know to do this without necessarily going through all of the channels you know i i'm very satisfied that the oversight currently in place is necessary for the very reason you brought up. colonel davis and his report points out that without proper oversight officers will tend to do the wrong thing at least at this point in time so you have got to consider the worst case scenario i have a second thing to consider here is that we have

a lot of regional commanders who already are engaging in a number of white world special operations activities we want to make sure those things are coordinated so having german are adamant what raven just kind of going off the reservation doing what he wants may not sit well with the folks actually doing the hard work in the region and more importantly trying to skirt oversight is never a good idea we end up with iran contra. all sorts of things which we don't need at this point time in our history special operations is the way of the future but again oversight is necessary inquired to make sure that they do what they're supposed to do but what do you think the chances are that he's going to get what he wants. oh well i don't know at this point in time i think a lot of folks are looking very hard at the authority special operation grant already has but the problem is congress has been a and yes mood lately and this is one of those things that everybody agrees special operations should be doing a lot more the question becomes how much more and how much do you do we keep track

of them i think we should keep painful track of them i ran with these folks i ran a lot of operations which are still secret they've never been disclosed nor will they ever i feel very comfortable by the fact that these were briefed to congress every year i just want to see that that level of scrutiny and oversight maintained if you allow someone to kind of do what they want to report afterwards you always run the risk of improper operations and frankly one of the things we're always worried about is the violation of u.s. personal rights which is more and more with the n.d.a. currently in place more and more threatened every day. i don't i really want to get into this report to you and i spoke about last week you know lieutenant colonel dale davis and i went into a lot of the details at the top of our show tonight and you know quite honestly if it's a really great report now that i've read this entire thing that i've seen it it's a really powerful damning assessment but why i don't think that it's making bigger waves i get it that it was posted on a friday night right out of the time about that doesn't travel far but is

a big deal this is no real meeting tomorrow on the air with folks we have a plan coming up to actually make sure that the issues are looked at realistically . this is not going to go away i think part of the issue right now is we have so much focus on the presidential election and the second problem and we talked about this for that this isn't a volunteer military so no one is not really and no one really feels all that worried about when the war in general most american public wanted to they get that but it white house now announced are drawing down next year at that is now said we're going to be out of there by thirteen so that some of the folks saying well we're already kind of moving in a direction why why move it up quickly but in my judgment we the pentagon knows the american people a plan how to plan of doing this how do we plan on drawing down and how do we actually plan on dealing with the real issue which is the pakistanis so these are the things which are t.b.d. and i'd like to believe the davis report will continue to keep pressure on the right folks both on the hill and also at the pentagon again this is not over yet

there's a lot more to come right so let's get into you know a few the details too that were in this report and very much the way that he puts all the pieces of the puzzle together and though why afghanistan is failing so much and he talked about the idea of why this surge to afghanistan seemed like a good idea well because general petraeus was heralded as being the one behind the surge in iraq and nobody wants to question general petraeus anymore but then he goes into this entire breakdown of exactly what it was and the transformation that we saw in terms of the internal conflict. iraq right and the sunni i guess it's a insurgency of the population deciding to work with u.s. troops do you think that's a part of the story that's often untold or not discussed. there the whole myth of iraq needs to be examined separately that's part of this that there is so much momentum coming out of iraq with europe a trace and his crew saying well we can cure this using the same basic tools we

used in iraq it's just not so and frankly i was insulted when i first started talking about the idea of doing an afghan surge which was very similar to the iraq surge because it's really apples and oranges so what we've got to consider here is the fact that we have a lot of people invested in the lie and that's one of this that's what it comes down to you have senior generals who have now banked on their career their future on a lie and once you've committed to that lie you have to sustain that lie so the line iraq led to the line in afghanistan it's all in together and what you have is a fundamentally corrupt set of generals at the top right now this corruption is very similar to what we saw during the vietnam war with what was more than all of his generals so and by the way one of the things notable is these generals all joined the army after the vietnam war these are the late seventy generals they have no memory of the the vietnamese to be. so what we have here generals who have refused to learn from the past and are now repeating it and that's why we're seeing what we do. do you think that congress is actually going to be able to go after

these generals is there any will there you know. down davis also calls for congressional hearings to call these guys out right to make this more of a public discussion started chance that's going to happen yes i got a call on friday from one of the congressmen to go home notifying me of the intent to do hearings in addition to another congressman's come aboard frank wolf who is a very well thought of a conservative republican who down was calling for a full investigation of this friend of both by the way was one of the first congressman to me on able danger back in two thousand and five so i have great confidence and congressman will based on my experience with him once he gets involved as a mainstream republican i do believe we're going to see a movement of the republicans towards dealing with the real issue i think the democrats are very much on board on this right now they don't need to be pushed much but we've really got to get the republicans to look at the situation for the reality it is not through any political is look and must look at them what is best for the country not what is best for the party now. there's this report does at

least name a few people that he thinks are truly you know they're really truly have integrity right that not every single person that's involved there is corrupt he mentions martin dempsey how about you do you have any people that you think really stand out . well i know a number of generals who are very honest i deal with that routinely i don't go into all the names about my people i deal with get it get them upset was mayor get other people upset with them dempsey i do believe i've mentioned dempsey i think he's an honest man i think he's been given a very difficult set of circumstances deal with i believe there's other almost members of the u.s. marine corps i know several generals in a marine corps who are painfully honest but i do believe that there's some level of self deception by general mattis and the current commander in afghanistan general allen so we've got to get past that we've got to figure out what is real what is not real and focus on the reality of it and frankly if offered if danny davis

report can prove that officers lied those officers should be held accountable as much as the u.s. marines are going to be held accountable for your knitting on the telly bought the the violations of integrity are equal so you can have a general whining about the reality in troops you know your knitting on the telly but i think somehow all those things are related they're both failures of leadership and they must be both both individuals both for both violation should be held accountable all right thanks so much for joining us tonight and thank you. time for a quick break pulling return train straight from the side of the very there for a closer settlement funds for the budget the people actually hurt by the housing prices have won that full time at happy hour santorum claims that his wife pro part of his book and i don't want checkpoints unconstitutional i can talk about it often for.

guys it's time for tonight's tool time award and tonight because of three very special states wisconsin is. sorry and made as you were last week we told you about the foreclosure fraud settlement with five of the biggest banks and of america j.p. morgan chase city wells fargo and ally financial were all ordered to shell over twenty six billion dollars money that was supposed to go to helping those families that were kicked out of their homes from two thousand and eight two thousand and eleven or that are majorly underwater now as i said last week and i will say again that twenty six billion dollars will hardly put a band-aid over the massive foreclosure problem in our country or the people that are hurting as a result but three states decided to step in and actually use those funds to balance their budgets and not actually to give the funds to the families that are actually suffering you see part of the settlement for each state will go directly to the state government and it's designed to cover

a whole host of costs like providing additional relief to borrowers paying civil penalties and even setting up foreclosure relief programs it looks like some governors have their own plans on how to spend those dollars take wisconsin for example america's very land is the recipient of one hundred forty million dollars from the settlement and thirty one million of that money will go directly to the state we've learned that twenty five of the thirty one million dollars designed to help wisconsin's foreclosure problems are going to be shifted to help the state balance its budget that's right eighty six percent of that portion that's going to help governor scott walker be able to say that he was able to balance the budget a stated priority of this but wisconsin isn't alone in his tactical move missouri's decide to follow suit with its share of the pie kansas city stars reporting that the show me state will take forty million dollars from the one hundred forty million dollars dollar settlement to use for funding public universities governor jay nixon took this settlement as a way for him to get back on everyone's good side after he originally announced

a twelve percent cut for public schools and nixon saw the settlement as a way to fix his budget problem and conveniently analysis transfer of money last week now made is planning on following in nixon and walks volcker's footsteps the state as a whole be receiving twenty one million dollars. and eight point two million will be handed to the government attorney general william schneider has already said that five point seven of that eight million is going to go towards a general fund so we can only imagine where that money is going to end up certainly not in homeowner's hands those are three different examples of the same travesty states taking money and tended to help prevent future foreclosure crises to help fix the current crisis is going on and moving that money to fix their troubled budgets that they're responsible for so is obama shaking his head yet we should be because moves like these further prove my point from last week and this massive settlement is enough to fix our housing problem but hey as long as the state looks good and looks like they're doing everything they can to fix their budget and who

cares how that money is managed right meanwhile those that are truly suffering from robo sidings from fraud those that lost their homes to the banks or receive less aid when governors and states divert the money to other places main missouri and wisconsin so that's why we're giving all three of them tonight's tool time award for taking that money intended to help a specific group of people and using it to help their budget woes that let's admit those governors may have had something to do with creating themselves. i got time for a happy hour and joining me tonight archie producer jenny churchill and archie correspondent christine. and it is. all right so let me read you a little passage this one comes from rick santorum book and it's caused quite a stir. hero the radical feminists succeeded in undermining the traditional family

and convincing women that professional accomplishments are the key to happiness so a radical feminist told some women that they should get a job and that's just the worst thing on the planet to say and so then you're excited told him as he always has to do has to try to back or back to excuse me back. i can fix the statement and take a listen to what excuse was. and i can tell you this section was written in large part in cooperation with her as a mother who was a lawyer and neonatal intensive care nurse someone with a great amount of professional experience who felt very much like society and those radical feminists that i was referring to were not affirming her choice we're looking we're looking at that as a choice that was not in fact the right choice. back ever was like and that her that he's talking about is his wife who he claims wrote that passage even though she doesn't appear anywhere in the book of the never said that she no where in the in the fine print is happening it's because women don't deserve acknowledgment of their thoughts or their writing that's right that's right she probably wrote the

whole book but then all she had to submit to her husband or something i was going to say you know santorum said that women were too emotional to serve in the military it's obvious that his wife got really emotional when he was writing the book and snuck in and wrote that line and he didn't know he didn't mean it you know it's absurd and i like how it's like she's the victim suddenly because i mean clearly if that was her that made this edition of the book it seems as though it was probably her own and she and her own insecurities about leaving her job to become a parent and then he's making her the victim in the radical feminists are going after her and then i had nothing didn't know i like i want some proof it was it is i mean i think about online david gregory on meet the press found a reason to ask the question will you have women serve in your administration because rick santorum has you on women and women's place in society is so far away from even most conservative republicans that it's really worth looking at and of

course he said yes because you're not going to say no but anyway it lets you out of something more fun fairy tales just the movies we all grew up with here's a classic. line cinderella that was. finally forced to become a. and you know. kind . of with each tune she. used. how sweet well apparently the radical feminists have a problem listen to her hello to you i guess you could share with him to read this story research has revealed that one in five parents have actually scrapped old classics things like snow white the seven dwarves and rapunzel and little red riding-hood and cinderella for i guess we could say more modern versions so that their kids are really scared after reading little red riding-hood and fifty two percent of the parents said that cinderella didn't send

a good message to their children because it portrays a young woman doing housework all day. i mean i have to say i grew up in the time of little mermaid princess jasmine from a lot in and i actually had a couple friends whose mothers wouldn't let them watch these movies because they found the characters in these does mean disney movies to be to sex symbol a so well i mean has made it an area where like the sluggish ones very everyone if you think about their alpha. biggest but the biggest complaint i learned as it goes were that those fairy tales taught girls that their value comes from the prints that they that then finds and saves them but i think this is so pathetic like the kids were scared after hearing little red riding-hood that's the point now they're in the middle and really don't they put the old lady in the oven and we have to go and i mean i mean not that some of these stories you know creativity doesn't always come from every single light and fluffy this is once again the want to pick a sion of america and the rest of the world so if you're a good education and. get over little red riding hood they're going to be in

trouble i am regarding the survey like under five years old i get it you know although i still question parents are there all of the lots promotes stealing you know i don't know i'm just saying under five years old but some of those parents are showing their kids teletubbies which is far scarier than a disney movie. totally i mean i think that i mean i like your word with a vacation because it's true these are great i love getting lost in these classic movies in books growing up i mean there's one order that there's you know you worries don't the stories the parents and then substituting don't have the same moral values these stories teach you something you learn something from these stories and you know we all live happily ever after i'm going to tell you what i did really learn from cinderella. you know if. she persevered through various times have to hope that a prince is going to come along and all your little animal friends are going to help you clean the house. and go to the ball home. you are. a writer of these movies so i love them but you know just saying ok let's talk about one of the most

depressing things that happened this weekend which is that we lost somebody i know i grew up listening to. it is news that has left music fans around the world shocked and heartbroken houston was found dead as you said in her belly hills hotel room at about three forty five los angeles time this afternoon her death at such a young age of forty eight and her enormous talent suddenly silenced has left many at a loss for words. now that is really sad and devastating i listen to whitney houston all the time when i was growing up and do a lot this weekend but if you just want any more information on how companies and why you should dislike them so many music increase the price of a whitney houston album by more than sixty percent within thirty minutes of her death am i crazy for not thinking this is terrible i think you don't think it's not messed up no demand went up they saw a chance to make a profit their company thirty minute i mean their share all right i think it's

terrible but i don't think it's surprising it's business in america for sure but i mean i guess on one hand they were smart to react so quickly because i think that somebody was just telling me like in the top one hundred songs downloaded over the weekend fifty of them were whitney houston's angst they took a business opportunity but it's so sad to think that monopolizing i'm somebody who's deaf somebody who a lot of people have really been awful izing on whitney houston's life for years i mean they have been taking advantage of her and using them i got i got to admit i was exerted time but you know just make the right ari thanks for joining us tonight you can do something for the fans right of military by the kitchen for. things for today and make sure you come back tomorrow as a lot of the greenwald is going to be joining us in the meantime different it's become a fan of the lot of show on facebook you can follow us on twitter there's anything you ever miss you can always catch the you tube dot com slash the i want to show and coming up next.
