flipboard possibly arming the rebels rockets weapons and al qaeda linked militants are already flowing across its shared border. crosser program must be targeted with a military strike that's the supported view of israeli intelligence following the un inspection that failed to preside over that long. and spread of the flames of teachers and students are angry that there's no heat in their classrooms thanks to austerity cuts and a major credit rating agency downgrades greek debt again saying that the food is poor but on the political. corner stores are less than half an hour from now in the meantime let's get back to the latest on the show here on party. our guys have time for show and tell on tonight's program now last time we spoke about the threat of cyber war one of our guests compared it to yellowcake hyped up
1:31 pm
fear being used to justify more spending and policy choices we want to know if you agree if cyber war really was a legitimate threat to the u.s. so could a producer patrice and says you know find out what you have to say. when . we asked your fans on twitter facebook and you tube what they thought of the cyber security threat is it a trumped up bogeyman or is this something that the u.s. should be gearing up to fight now on the streets of d.c. to find out if people agree with what you had to say they have a better idea let's find out stephen said that it's in a real possibility that begging pardon systems could be shut down nuclear plant computer systems corrupted air traffic control towers burned out yes it. seems
1:32 pm
are overblown. very difficult to do yeah it's definitely possible you know hopefully with you know fire walls security it won't be that bad but i think it will get. i think it's a possibility we have jonathan i spoke he said it is a real threat but not the extent of the mainstream media and the government is hyping it up to be yeah i mean it is a threat but i think it's been overhyped a lot salvatore said that as of right now these cyber attacks can at worst do little real damage i don't agree with him and i think cyber do a lot of damage i mean there have been enough attacks ion you know currently commercial companies likely google and sony that it is concerning for sort of like on a federal level and i think it's even going to get even worse for the next generation my nieces and nephews but they're going to have it's going to be ours was nine eleven and there is going to be the internet now everyone agrees that the threat of
1:33 pm
cyber warfare is out there but not everyone can agree on how big it really is or what can be done to protect us. all we hope you enjoyed the new and improved show and tell and as always we appreciate your responses so here's our next question for you we spoke earlier on the show about government support for business action over speaking about that now right now government subsidies and tax breaks flow in the direction of big business but do we have it all wrong should the government be doing more to support startups and honestly think on facebook twitter and you tube and who knows a response just might make it on to. all right so in this day and age of fifteen percent real unemployment in the u.s. but it is all about how to create jobs young people college grads they've been hit particularly hard by the recession as they leave school and enter a workforce that has no space for them but in silicon valley generation of young entrepreneurs are trying to change the game so eric bride writes in reuters today
1:34 pm
despite little data on this phenomenon venture capital say that they're finding more chief executives under age twenty one than ever before the problem is that it takes money and a support system to start your own company so often the young entrepreneur is in silicon valley are those who come from families with money and time to help how do you make of the lore young people actually take this route joining me to discuss it is eric thompson senior editor at the atlantic and a can are social on serial entrepreneur and venture capitalist also the author of the guardians of democracy gentlemen thank you both for joining me tonight and i guess nick i want to start with you since you are a venture capitalist have you noticed this trend of you seeing more young people that are see those that want you to invest in their companies you know i mean i think one of the most exciting parts of our economy and trends in our culture is. so many young people are to start businesses and indeed younger and younger people
1:35 pm
are taking a crack at it. but it does turn out to be useful to have some business experience to create success. but there's no doubt that younger and younger people are trying to become entrepreneurs well what would you say are some of the biggest drawbacks at least for someone in your position or from your perspective you know somebody who's twenty years old maybe even younger trying to start a company. well it. no matter how high your i.q. is having had some. experience in the world how things actually work is crucial in building a successful business understanding how to manage people out of understanding how to create relationships just understanding you know what we're how to not waste your time and energy on things that you know are diversions from the real from the real challenges and problems very very difficult pretty much only experience can teach you that. but the broader and broader point and the reason i think this is
1:36 pm
exciting topic is that entrepreneurship is an extraordinarily important element of our economy. and the more of the we have the more likely the country will be prosperous and successful are there derek i see you see i mean aside from experience one of the things here about being in trying to start a business and they're even like them so rather funny example as a writer is or you've written about it talking about your friends is that sometimes these people they can't drink yet so they can't even go to social engagements to network they can't rent a car they can't even lease an office space or a house because they don't have enough credit built up and they need someone else to sign for them and so you know from the people that you wrote about that you know there are friends of yours acquaintances and whatnot who is usually the group that's able to be a young entrepreneur is interesting because i have a lot of friends young friends in their mid twenty's who are trying to start companies but in fact the median age for
1:37 pm
a successful entrepreneur is thirty nine so what we really want from a public policy perspective is a policy that addresses both the risks and concerns of these young entrepreneurs and these all the entrepreneurs and one of the elements of that i pointed out was health care you know being afraid of not having health care is one of these things that keeps young people from starting companies because it's risky and fear of leaving their company the company at their at to start a new company. fear of losing the health of its associated. with that firm is something that also. discourages a lot of a lot of startups a lot of entrepreneurs from striking out on their own and this is the kind of thing that if we created a universal market for individual health care it could go a long way towards boosting entrepreneurship i what else do you think the government should do that right i mean you try to compare and contrast the way they look at startups versus some of the heavy hitters in the industry right now the big oil companies are some of the largest corporations on this planet that receive massive mounts of corporate welfare from the government what i wrote the essay last week was that on the one hand i think that we should target entrepreneurs
1:38 pm
specifically with carrots to give them so we can double or triple digit duction for young companies we can also try to make long term venture capital gains tax free to encourage rich investors to push more money into these exciting new startups we can also focus on sort of strengthening the safety net to mitigate the risk of failure because the fact is most entrepreneurs fail they're not successful and most of them are successful in whole or third or fourth term so my big idea and there's a lot to be fleshed out here is that to the extent that the law is going to be biased in favor of somebody needy it shouldn't be biased towards corporations that already exist biased towards corporations that are just getting off their feet and in fact net job creation over the last generation to generation fact has not been multinational companies that are very good at increasing productivity but rather towards companies that didn't exist five years ago this is where job creation really is it's a neck i jump in here and tell me you know what your perspective as you think
1:39 pm
that's a good idea. i completely agree. when we you know certainly will companies billions and billions of dollars to make digging holes cheaper and more profitable it's your tax dollars wasted those resources could be internationally better still. creating an ecosystem which makes everything more entrepreneurship. easier and more successful. exactly right. and there's an ecosystem and we have understanding this that young companies look much like young plants and trees grow much faster than old trees and plants and so. you know if you want to have a dynamic economy the more young companies you can create the more momentum your commie will get it will get. more than that you know think of
1:40 pm
prosperity and wealth in a society it's best all of the some of the solutions we create for human problems and the more people there are trying to solve those problems the faster and more successfully will solve them and so i think there's a complicated policy question here which is precisely how do you create the correct incentives. and the right framework to encourage entrepreneurship but then i completely agree that it's the right approach what i mean let's hear some of the complex ideas here right because a lot of the debate we have going on in the country right now is how much should the government actually have its hands in the economy how much they'd be involved in really helping businesses or in creating jobs so what would be something that could politically why reckon on exactly right you have to think that there are some things that entrepreneurs need the government can provide entrepreneurs have to be iconoclasts entrepreneurs have to look at problems and say i don't just want to explain why that problem is a problem i want to make it better this is something that the government can maybe
1:41 pm
help in in an implicit a way by increasing the number of people that graduate from college but it's not something that we can where you say think why are you going to have any more tax breaks the five hundred twenty five card in your company. it's going to be easier for me to provide health insurance what specifically will specifically you know i think we're going to be in a very from one of the other specifically i do think that you need both this approach of new. getting risk on the one hand making entrepreneurs who might be successful feel like they really can start a company and not fail and suddenly lose their health care and be flat broke on the other hand you can use these targeted policies that people have talked about the cost and foundations and a really good job sort of building a sort of start up nation plan for you know how the how government can act and can really in a microwave help companies get off the ground and ramp up by tripping deductions again and making investments in them sacks free these are the small things but i really do think it's worth thinking big and saying you know if you think of starting
1:42 pm
a company as kind of starter sometimes you fail sometimes you succeed we're going to see you know the thing that makes you want to play with better not play roulette isn't the amount of tax that's going to hit you if you win two hundred thousand dollars that's that's wildly out of your you know you're conscious of that point it's what's the risk if i lose and the extent that we can build the safety net that's marts and mitigates risk for these people who really could start companies and really could be successful and ramp them up and create hundreds of thousands of jobs that's the kind of thing that i think that's going to help we'll have a couple seconds here nick but if you just have any last words to you i mean should a concern be that this so much of this is happening in silicon valley might there be another tech bubble. but you know i mentioned i i'm not sure i agree with the free safety. i would seeing you don't want to create i think there's something we don't do which is set the tone and to try to create a culture and promote a culture in the united states of launch going to ship risk taking and innovation
1:43 pm
and to the extent that we do that displays enormously to the country strengths because we are the most diverse nation in the world and you know that's why we need in all sorts. of young people involved i want to thank you both so much for joining us tonight thank you great thank you. as our last break of the evening but when we come back lawmaker is fighting against a radical isaac girls. out humans are full time lord and happy hour for the alien reptile invaded president obama's head and then test tube meat is on its way to a plate near here now.
1:44 pm
designed to keep you close in your own small world as a prison. so you leave somebody in there for a couple hours like that in the stress of the show. you have this fear of the unknown and the stress sort of building. interrogations ten twelve hours they chose songs i remember from marilyn manson and metallica slayer the two songs would be angel get blood to kill the enemy those are more coming up here into iraq coming in the baghdad. johnny pool of the body sort of for the rock n roll band was fitting for the job we were doing.
1:45 pm
the so.
1:46 pm
sick. little. beasts and rich prices. from listing the transition. team don't come.
1:47 pm
our guys it's time for tonight's tool time award and tonight goes for republican member of the indiana house representative bob morris see this week morris decided that he would be able to support a resolution celebrating the hundredth anniversary of the girls girl scouts were his claims of the girl scouts have become a radicalized organization and he even sent a letter to the other house republicans asking them to join him in his war against the organizers of prepubescent young girls now in a letter that moore is takes on the girl scouts relationship with the latest republican looking man planned parenthood laura says that abundant evidence proves that the agenda of planned parenthood includes sexualizing young girls through the girl scouts which is quickly becoming a tactical arm of planned parenthood. tapped the arm of planned parenthood how terrifying elmore's continues liberal progressive troop leaders will indoctrinate
1:48 pm
the girls in their troop according to the principals of planned parenthood so i wonder just how the c.e.o. the girl scouts would explain the ominous partnership and the indoctrination. growth scouts the largest voice for and advocate for girls across the country know that girls grow up with very complex issues facing them and so we do across the country tackle the issues of human sexuality and body image and all of the things that girls are facing in that report how dare those liberal progressive troop leaders teach those girls about safe sex and body image like their motto is be prepared for anything right away thank you that's right that is their motto but we wouldn't want them to be educated in safe sex because that would be dangerous help them deal with body image issues because body image issues well that must be the work of the devil and morris was also disturbed the organization allows transgenders he says that boys who decide to clean a transgender or cross-dressing lifestyle are permitted to become a member of
1:49 pm
a girl scout troop performing crafts with the girls and participate in overnight and camping activities just like any real girl just like any real girl or now morris is referring to the case of bobby montoya a transgender child who joined last year bobby's case sparked a controversy even led to the website on his girl scouts dot com releasing this video. this describes itself as a little girl experience without legal families trust that the girls will be in an environment that is not only nurturing and sensitive to girls needs but also say for girls. to catch that last missed last beat thief for girls i'm sure the morrison on his girl scouts group can only think of one more thing more dangerous than a boy who identifies as a girl must be a boy pretending to be a girl in order to get access to all girls sleep overs though if you guys are sneaking into the group in an effort to bed helpless young girls than planned
1:50 pm
parenthood partnership makes me kind of out right never know when you need your troop leader to take you to get an abortion all right now if you add to my personal favorite part of this letter morris raises concerns over the group's honorary president the fact that the honorary president of girl scouts of america is michelle obama she gave each of us reason to pause before our individual or collective endorsement of the organization so apparently a national organization for girls has stopped stooped so low as to have the nation's first lady be their honorary president that just absolutely takes the cake i think she's trying to push her healthy lifestyle initiative on those girls at this very moment sneaking on a camping trip and sabotaging this more is because of the girl scouts are going to live up to the new sex crazed gay loving image that morris painted of them i'll probably be meeting new sexier uniforms and well that doesn't really look like a cookie and s'mores type outfit to me so it makes sense that they brought in fitness obsessed with show so for sending out a hateful homophobic fear mongering letter that marks sex education gays and
1:51 pm
michelle obama as the enemy indiana state representative bob morris is tonight's tool time winner. guys time for a happy hour journey to the evening laurin that's your host of the capital account here on r.g.p. and anthony randolph director of economic research for the reason foundation a guy's night out. we all work a purple blue kind of thing seems like a little bit of a little we're really excited about that laser the results like whatever let's take a look and see yesterday i was on your show talking about how sex sells and yet it was banning ryan air ads write a check out this and that is for a g.m. in moscow.
1:52 pm
yeah. yeah but i don't know i mean as a man of. that kind of. my quote was is it as if it was a commercial for wal-mart's that maybe. i'm not quite sure but that's that's that's not even close to some of the you know the sexy ads i've seen come out of rush or i mean that's that's relatively tell purser they do a lot but there's not even a case where a sex sells i think it's worth that doesn't sell who wants a night in someone's i mean there's just so many things about the little. niche group of guys. but very very small select and. ok this is really. about.
1:53 pm
this one is a crazy conspiracy theory is really if that were to get through yesterday but this woman pay for it there is an alien that has been implanted into the back of barack obama's. years the one scar on the left. here and this is. going up a little bit and if you look closely you can see what i discuss this is done to our president they had him plan it i read chilean in the back of his head and look at the look at the rich. here's. how you know we've been people just never get tired of coming up with well and i'm really really concerned very concerned i'm very glad she did the x. ray vision though because the first couple minutes. so this video she just has it the back of obama's head i'm like what am i supposed to be seeing i don't see a reptile i don't see anything there's nothing there it was the scar and she was
1:54 pm
trying to outline the reptilian. american creativity. innovation she talked about it for me it was a long video to talk about instead of five. alien reptile they need to be prayed for are what do you like better though that he or maybe maybe he had this alien reptile implanted into his head when he was working for the cia and they teleported him to mars because remember there is those two guys right there right so true it's a world where these people come up with the early and reptile like implants and technology or can't they provide. good point i mean you want to take that up i think so. yes nobody likes the alien spaceship. that. you're on to so this is this is the. way it's i want to keep our guard with i
1:55 pm
look at this awesome you know coming up with problems to solutions every day here on the one show let's move on to other science earlier we spoke about how scientists are freaking out because nobody cares about global warming they're spelling doom and gloom but the people we have to have something to brag about and get excited about at this year's conference. it's a long way to go from a hamburger like this to one looking like this this is actually beef being created in a petri dish adult scientists is using stem cells from cattle muscle tissue to create a burger in a lab and he told a conference of the american association for the advancement of science he aims to one build a first one. so the idea here is that you know this won't be as bad for the environment if you have created me but. it just seems so gross to start. thinking about it is as the third exactly this is going to
1:56 pm
be a two thousand two hundred fifty thousand euro burger the first one and he's talking about this solving the problems with the inefficient system of producing meat it's not going to be able to meet the demands of global population how about stop eating meat ok great we won't have me i think that's a little bit of a better solution than two hundred fifty thousand euro test to burger. king i would . think that we can find alternatives. with no this is definitely a secret project to make us all but. i want you to test your burger when it's made by somebody cloned from a petri dish. no i'm just glad they moved beyond mouse meat because that's what they started with. let's get to our last word because dominique strauss kahn is in the headlines yet again this time it was what he did with maid but with women that may have been prostitutes the clerk. spent two days in custody here facing questions of respect to prostitution ring straus com says he attended the parties
1:57 pm
but didn't know that the women were prostitutes. i challenge you to distinguish the naked prostitutes from any of the naked woman. i know you don't really believe me i will be a big. party i don't really know what the protocol is or what's going on but if you're naked. i just kind of that is the story has reinforced our view of french stereotypes because i was really concerned after d.s. kate was acquitted the last right right french consistency to the right it's true yeah no perp walk which you know they lived up to that because they were so critical of the perp walk that he went through here when he was arrested but you know naked. taken away our guys i got a bit of a thanks so much for joining me tonight it's a good night's show it thanks for tuning in animation from mike morrow medicine on roll calls on the hill reporters be rejoining us for happy hour in the meantime don't forget to become a fan of the onus on facebook on twitter if there's anything you ever miss ali you
