and so you know i do this but i just do that for money but what i really love to do is x. y. and z. and talk about something he's passionate about to a certain extent are you just describing how to be yourself how to be you know really human with you know you're not so old actually because when when it's not working for you then being yourself doesn't work you need to change and improve and definitely you know that's the general advice is just be yourself just be confident just be funny but most guys start can't do that some guys that just aren't doing anything aren't talking to so many women may be they could be themselves and have some results but the guys that try and don't get anywhere they need to actually change but if you're changing to something other than who you are and behaving like somebody other than who you are and then you get past the second or third date at some point you're going to revert back to who you are is not going to blog yell
9:49 pm
a ship or is this all about one night stands. well my first few relationships went wrong because i got so good to early stages but then when i go into a relationship i didn't know what to do and i got dumped but then i learned about relationships and really what you ask is a good question but it comes down to you know learning anything the first time you know you were brokaw's show you were smooth you were thinking about things you had things on your minds but now it comes effortlessly so we teach guys and when they go out there thinking a lot they think about their body language what they say but once they've done it for a few months then it is natural so it's a process like learning anything else and once they've come for it then they will be you know the cool calm relaxed confident guy that women are attracted to so where should andrew young men like him recent college graduates they've been busy you know getting through school and get a job and everything and you know the word seems to be a bar scene and i guess that's the cliche where should andrew go to find the woman
9:50 pm
of his dreams the bar is not placed on the woman even if your dream space the place to go and be sociable with still so lots of women's practice having conversations some really think about what you want to meet lots of women and you know come up with who your dream girl might be and then you're more likely to find her in the daytime in the street in the coffee shop in the mall than you are in the bar with a night club ok richard thanks so much for being with us. and we'll pass along all your recommendations to andrew. men of the world now you have the power to go out there and get the woman of your dreams and now everything you know about the art of seduction is right.
9:51 pm
we all know republicans are hell bent on repealing obamacare we also know fox so-called news is determined to misinform americans about what they stand to gain from obamacare this election year and we know that the pro corporate activist supreme court could deliver a death blow to obamacare in the next few months but none of these are the real threats to the success of obamacare instead the real threat is a lack of doctors particularly a lack of primary care doctors thirty two million more americans will have access to health insurance by two thousand and fifteen thanks to obamacare that means we need a lot more doctors to handle the new patients as this chart shows it's a simple supply and demand problem where about one hundred thirty thousand doctors shy where we need to be to cover all the new patients and twenty twenty five and by two thousand and fifteen we're going to need at least thirty thousand new primary
9:52 pm
care docs alone that's going to be tough since there's not much financial gain in being a primary care doc these days so you can see on is the internal medicine at the bottom this is primary care docs in these are surgery anesthesiology cardiology radiology and oncologists are off the scale so out of we solve this problem of these primary care docs making so little but one way is to incentivize primary care docs so a little bit two hundred nineteen thousand dollars a year this is that requires money in investments that has a snowball's chance in hell of getting through a republican congress especially if it will help obamacare be successful. another way is to import more doctors from abroad and a recent piece of business insider economist dean baker makes that argument writing the median compensation for primary care physicians is two hundred eight thousand seven hundred dollars a year there's no shortage of people in countries like china india mexico and elsewhere who would be happy to train to us standards become hopelessly fluent in
9:53 pm
english and work for half of this wage gap in wages between the united states in these countries is so large the doctor some of these countries would be far ahead of what they could earn in their home countries even if they only made one hundred thousand dollars a year he also points out how our trade policies protect highly educated workers like doctors and lead manufacturing jobs good to be by dropping protections on investing in a factory in industries anyway it's a decent point particularly if you buy the so-called free trade argument that america must become a country of progressively lower and lower wages as we sink to becoming the world's lowest common denominator but there's something else that nobody's talking about and that's the power of the american medical cartel doctors have it really good in america they make more money here on average than any other country in the world and one reason why is that they purposefully keep the doctor labor force low so the demand for doctors always outstrips the supply of doctors leading to higher and
9:54 pm
higher wages consider this the number of applicants to med school in america dramatically increased between two thousand and three and two thousand and eight more and more americans wanted to be doctors as we discussed the country needs more doctors however during these same years the percentage of applicants accepted at med schools actually went down. that's because rather than opening up more med school slots in american medical association and groups associated with them tighten things up and began restricting open slots cutting back on how many doctors can be trained in america today fifty seven percent of applicants to med school are turned away which doesn't make sense especially when you look at other comparable fields like lawyers since nine hundred sixty three the number of law schools in america increased almost fifty percent there are now over over two hundred law schools around the nation and no one thinks we have a shortage of lawyers with medical schools it's a different story one hundred years ago there were one hundred sixty six medical
9:55 pm
schools in our country today there's roughly one hundred thirty that's a twenty two percent decrease by the american population has increased three hundred percent similarly the number of docs who can practice in america is limited by the number of ospital residency slots for doctors in training and most of those residents these are paid for with medicare funding and that funding has been frozen since one nine hundred ninety seven by the balanced budget act i wonder we have a shortage of doctors and will continue to have a shortage of doctors as long as the a.m.a. and congress limit the supply of doctors by restricting medical school openings and hospital residences but what else do you expect from a health care system that puts the profit motive ahead of healing ability you know it's time to hand the job of healing americans back to americans back to all of us make medicine and health care part of the commons just like it is an every other
9:56 pm
developed nation on the planet how do you do that it's really simple we've already got a single payer health care program in the united states it could conceivably cover everybody in america right now and covers everybody over sixty five it's called medicare. the apparatus is there the infrastructure is there the bureaucracy is there it operates on a three percent overhead it's very very efficient their checks actually always get cached so let's create a new medicare program we'll call it medicare part d. e standing for everybody and it's going take a little while to bring this since let's just say that every two or three years will drop the eligibility age for medicare by ten years or so over a period of maybe ten or fifteen years eventually everybody in the united states is eligible for medicare. everybody then is covered by medicare and you've got universal single payer coverage so that's that's the way that i would do it medicare part d. that's the big picture for tonight for more information the stories we covered

9:59 pm
point. of market finiteness such luck find out what's really happening to the global economy click my scars or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to report on our feet. keep such. touched shifts just for. fun.
10:00 pm
ok to show that the real headlines with none of the mercy are from a lot of washington d.c. now and i read a host a monday panel talking about obama's budget see that and the g.o.p. race matt welch and you are going to be joining us then a greece was burning this week that protests and riots broke out after the parliament approved a strict austerity package so at the end of this we have to wonder if it's even that help and admiral william mcraven is now asking for more often already to move special ops forces faster and outside of the normal pentagon channels so is that
10:01 pm
what we need or will it only allow for less accountability or have all that and more fear not including a dose of happy hour but first take a look what the mainstream media has decided to miss. all right so today the obama administration released a budget for fiscal year two thousand and thirteen it was a lot to discuss within this breakdown and we'll get to that during our panel after the break or the mainstream media are also talking about this today and looking at some of the details. no bamma delivered his twenty thirteen budget plan to capitol hill and it's sure to fan well warrigal a debate over your tax money and how the government wants to spend it playing calls for spending three point eight trillion in twenty thirteen it projects this year's deficit at one point three trillion congressional republicans are already feeding on that number reminding voters the president promised to do doesn't either cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term he promises to reduce the deficit by
10:02 pm
four trillion dollars over the next ten years even before the budget was made public angry republicans said hey it looks like a stimulus plan three point eight trillion dollars spending plan that envisions about a nine hundred billion dollars deficit for fiscal two thousand and thirteen four hundred seventy six billion dollars for infrastructure upgrades so it would be over a six year period three hundred fifty billion dollars for job creation thirty billion dollars to hire teachers police officers and firefighters his plans draw some very sharp distinctions between him and the republicans he calls for raising taxes on the rich and billions of dollars for roads energy and manufacturing paid for by savings from two wars. now i want to focus on here is that last little bit in eclipse the money that will be saved from drawing down our two wars that we've heard this thrown in before by paul ryan last september the president's jobs plan and yet again in this new budget about all accounts u.s.
10:03 pm
troops are no longer in iraq although we know that there's still a massive state department presence and the pentagon is in fact still asking for about three billion dollars more next year in iraq why is a very important question i want to still haven't seen anybody in the mainstream media ask by the way that in afghanistan it does look like well at least see a troop drawdown in the middle of two thousand and thirteen but how many troops exactly we don't know yet there's also continued spending in plans for a permanent basing there also deserving of harsh questioning and so let me just use this time right now to talk about an incredibly important report that's out there that's something that we should all read some. we should all examine before talking about any kind of numbers that we can properly critique that as our daily viewers out there should know last week we had the china colonel daniel davis on the program is an active army officer who just submitted a classified report to congress that's a pretty damning assessment of the dis honesty of our military leadership just two days after daddy appeared here on the show and b c report claimed that
10:04 pm
a pentagon investigation had been launched into his report but it was also an eighty six page unclassified report every ten a colonel davis had written to be released for public consumption and it's something of a pentagon haven't cleared for release which let's face it isn't surprising but on friday evening rolling stone contributing editor michael hastings posted that unclassified report on the internet for all to see how this version is eighty four pages long and all i can say that is well worth taking the time to read davis charges our military leadership with intentionally being dishonest with congress and the public about what they claim to be signs of success or progress or momentum in the war in afghanistan he shows that throughout the command of a number of different generals and even after the troop surge and embers still show that violence casualties both military and civilian only increased so how can we say we have momentum or progress of even with more resources the violence is only going up and he documents through various interviews with those on the ground the
10:05 pm
reality of training afghan security forces and how they're failing also the opposite of what the officials say to congress and to the press it takes a look at how it is that a service afghanistan was sold is a good idea because the surge in iraq under the command of general petraeus was on a broad level seen as a smashing success but data shows that the real turning point in iraq was sunni population the insurgency would have been fighting against our troops with al qaeda deciding attacks on the local population to become so inhumane that the sunni insurgency decided that they were the greater foe better to work with the international coalition forces begin. them out to save their own country first but the feeling that we were an occupying force that never left sending troops to live closer amongst the population was never an ideal we didn't win them over they just chose to work with us so if people properly looked at the iraq surge they could have made a better assessment as to whether or not the surge was really the magic fix to afghanistan davis also documents the insane amount of lying and manipulation that
10:06 pm
takes place to get congress to keep finding new weapons systems and projects despite failed tests which they don't tell congress about despite reports from the government accountability office year in year out which show continual failures i have the military leadership in those in charge of these projects this claim of the g.a.o. doesn't know what they're talking about and finally gave us really calls on our leadership to be honest honest with congress honest with the american people because that's their duty we don't want to think that thousands of american men and women have lost their lives lost their lives for nothing then we have to properly assess what's happened in these wars we have to have congressional hearings where the military leadership is called out in their public statements that just will seem to add up with the numbers that are coming in from the field becomes a massive issue of credibility not only to our own country and our people but to our allies who begin to question if our military actually just doesn't have a grasp on international politics if they believe what they're saying now some may
10:07 pm
dispute elements of davis' report some might claim that it has nothing new to offer but the point is that is a really interesting and powerful assessment and it deserves to be discussed debated at least brought up and that's first consulate of our media a media that will continue just pissed off numbers as providing government budgets without actually asking where that money is going and why and so that's something that davis also residents report has been said many times before there are press is too attached to power because they're too dependent on the access and so they rarely do the real reporting that just might jeopardize that access. do it for yourself and go read this report because i can tell you the mainstream media they've even blink an eye when it came out because they have they do and they will continue to choose to miss it. all right so they were trying something new on the show monday there's
10:08 pm
a lot of news over the weekend a lot to take in that was just announced this morning is that one is returning to work so we're going to call this our monday hangover because like that today we're going to look at some of the results for the republican presidential candidates over the weekend romney won the see pop straw poll where a lot of people thought ron paul just might have a shot also the president rolled out his budget for fiscal year twenty thirteen this morning is the last annual budget of his term and it says a lot about the of his reelection campaign but they have it and what they'll continue to be so first let's cross over some of those details the budget looks to cut the deficit by four trillion dollars over ten years the final project a one point three trillion dollars deficit for this current fiscal year slightly higher than twenty eleven and also projects a nine hundred one billion dollar deficit minus a trillion purposely or twenty thirteen now that's going to be the total spending of three point eight trillion in revenues of two point nine now some of the revenue raising ideas to raise one point five trillion over ten years is to end the bush
10:09 pm
era tax cuts for the wealthiest americans and employ the buffett rule also taxing dividends as ordinary income and eliminating some corporate tax breaks for oil and gas companies and the budget reaffirms cuts in discretionary spending by a trillion dollars over ten years and it reduces discretionary spending from eight point seven percent of g.d.p. in two thousand and eleven to only five percent and twenty twenty two there's also some new spending three hundred fifty billion for short term job creation programs boosting infrastructure spending modernizing schools and giving states and local governments more money to hire teachers and first responders some call a populist president frame. it's a is everybody playing by the same set of rules and republicans well naturally they have attacked it so what do we say about it do i need to discuss it is j. crew or she strategy officer at fish and strategy thought calm and that welsh and their chief of reason magazine and co-author of the declaration of independence and libertarian politics can fix what's wrong with america ted and i thank you so much for joining in and i want you when they hang over there you can see all those
10:10 pm
figures i just had to read really hard to back out from under. me let's start i guess if you want one word to describe this budget that the president unveiled today would be fictitious. date i would use dream it is a dream come to fruition ok so you call it a dream you call it the tissues but the republicans out there had another word for it let's take a look at a clip like. this is a this this budget it claims multiple reduction in deficits are real and it's just the plain disappointing. well it's possible to agree with jeff sessions. doesn't feel very good particularly i know i mean he he includes long term cuts. in the deficit based on obamacare that do not pass anybody's smell test that it's oh we're going to have a doc fix sunday so let's book those cuts even though we know now there's never
10:11 pm
going to be a doctor it should never be political will for it and these types of things and as you mentioned the top you know you were always booking those savings from iraq and afghanistan and all these types of things so we shouldn't expect the president to be truth but i think the most important thing here is that it's shouldn't expect the president look at a statement that he it's not going to be truthful i think he's probably right in that we haven't had a budget and three years or almost three that's about it almost doesn't matter at all that he's put something out except that it is talking points and i think that is that is a fact that at this point i think people on the right and left can agree towards the thing that's interesting is that people talk about you know throw the bums out what we really need to be talking about is through the code out through the regulations in the code out that we have right now that are governing our tax code our procurement laws and they mean that's where the spending is that does not come in the changes that we need in order to be fiscally responsible and get the stuff that we need to support the infrastructure of this country doesn't come from speeches and it doesn't come from budget proposals that are in the media were on autopilot basically right now i mean we haven't had a budget more than thousand days and so i didn't harry reid are to say to me that
10:12 pm
we're we're not going to have it is a very bad idea yes it's a dream to have anything that we're going to vote and the further we get away from actual budgeting the further the president's proposed numbers apart from reality i mean his projected deficit from last year and the actual deficit are pretty different and that's just going to keep going like that going forward we need i mean his first budget that is that he proposed back in two thousand and nine was titled a new era of fiscal responsibility it almost makes you cringe with laughter at this point we actually need responsible governors people in the senate budget committee to produce a budget so that we can talk about this but we're not campaigning documents and we're in the. sort of fantasy ones ok well in that case then since it is a campaign document and pretty sure that most people can agree on that is at least a good one you know you say those are people trying to pay all that much attention to some of the numbers that are out there but if you do look at polling i mean republicans are not budging at all on this issue of taxation but a lot of polls show that americans are totally cool with raising taxes on the
10:13 pm
wealthy or with applying the buffett rule so you know one of the lies is not a good point to make it's a popular budget i will say it out yet so on a strictly strategic level because this budget makes sense and if i were the president what i'd do roughly the same thing probably exactly yeah i mean it seems very smart does it have any real impact in terms of our actual spending and actual programs that are going to benefit real americans very little and i think what will continue to happen it's frustrating for me is you can ask the question when did world war two and we still have fifty two thousand troops in germany thirty eight thousand in japan we look at the wars in the spending coming down from those but it is all in theory is that as i think about that and now i guess in the streets there they might be leaving europe but that right there is to be heading into the persian gulf into other areas around there but three billion dollars to the pentagon also had a budget those released three billion dollars more for iraq even though the state department is going to have a massive presence there are to have sixteen thousand people right now why do we
10:14 pm
need three billion more dollars in iraq if the war there is over we have i have a friend who works in the state department as described walking around in iraq and you like just trip every ten feet on another ten million dollars of us spending that it's almost it's physically repulsive to watch or to guard the severe politics going through there has been and how you top off the show there has been no institutional break on military spending in this country for at least fifteen years or you believe for fifty going on how you want to measure things but certainly the last fifteen no one has made a point of checking the stuff you could always say we need to do to support our troops for you to support our veterans. to win the war against the evil guys and that has led to some of the most idiotic conversations possible and we're only trying to begin to have a conversation about this stuff but what happens will come apart all jews do you agree in there if there's nobody who's having an intelligent conversation against this of course what happens is that people in invariably start writing their own blank checks and that's where we're at right now and we have michael o'brien who's
10:15 pm
an author was on our show last week we were talking about this piece about the state department budget in iraq and he was you know there's this new york times reporter originally said that oh no the salad bar at seven days was running low why they had to ration each other six wings of peas in the splenda they had a shortage over and he basically told us that he got really fat when he was a rock because he was just fed so well with his looks also but let's also remember that personnel are expensive and they should be if there's one thing we should be paying money for it's benefits people who serve in the war like some people here not me you know there should we should be taking care of our own we can withdraw everybody back home we still got a lot it's like a pig in a python thing you have a baby they're most expensive when they go to college and you have to be right and the u.s. has been in war after war for the last hundred years and the only thing we've been able to talk about even remotely intelligently is slowing in the rate of growth of
10:16 pm
spending if not actual cuts what we're talking about cutting is the pace at which we increase it's not actually going down and that cuts this this time around it got us to six hundred thirteen trillion or billion dollars but let's talk about the idea of cuts over altogether saying something that jack lew said yesterday. i think there's pretty broad agreement that the time for a stereo today we need to be on a path where over the next several years we bring our deficit under control right now we have a recovery that's taking root and if we were to put in a staring measures right now it would take the economy in the wrong way. i have a feeling you disagree but i mean you know coming up next on the show we're going to talk about greece look what's happening in greece look what's happening in the u.k. is austerity what we need right now it's not working out so well there look you know those dreams addiction put it isn't going to start some or oh you know we've been hearing this since the financial crisis and we're going to hear this for as long as we keep electing irresponsible people if you think of the debt and the deficit or
10:17 pm
importance if you think that we're risking. flirting with catastrophe and this is not a responsible budget we have to cut spending spending has increased from obama took office is two point nine trillion it's three point eight trillion the new bush proposal he keeps it at three point eight trillion in this fictitious world of a budget but we have to cut government period and you have to do it from military spending you have to do it from medicare you have to do it from social security have to do it from the department of commerce which got the biggest boost of any department in this fake budget being smart is kind of where we have to go right now and being smart almost certainly means we have to spend less money we can't we can't be for a better tomorrow tomorrow as i think stephen called there's. kind of have to be a better tomorrow today and it's folks that are are being born now and folks just a little younger than us that are being that are going to be screwed by this budget running out of time and there is nothing i think they want to add really quick too i just want to get your idea this does.
