you don't. think. our guys it's time for you said it i read it all right take time to respond to my brilliance and engaging viewer comments from facebook twitter and you tube you've

got to me to say i do listen now parts will respond to the viewer who seems to think that i'm biased trials gabriel tweeted that as if you want to show other than the obvious that we agree on regarding muslims why do you defend them more than anyone else are you muslim so first of all no i am not muslim but i do believe very strongly in a civil liberties of everybody in this country rights and protections that are guaranteed by the constitution so if it seems like i have been muslims in the united states more than others that's probably because they clearly become the biggest scapegoat the most targeted at any group within the us right now about the government and sometimes the media and some things new nothing new there's always a group that singled out and vilified it with the japanese that commie has now is the muslims that are considered terrorists so every day there's a new story of surveillance of muslim communities all over the country as is as i discussed earlier in the show just this week came out of the n.y.p.d. was monitoring muslim students all over the no northeast for no reason at all other than. being muslim so i don't need to be muslim to understand someone's needs to

speak out against the scapegoating of an entire population and a violation of their rights the next on respond to a viewer who is just as fed up with the political coverage of the presidential election as i am apex are commented on due to the mainstream media talks about the presidential campaign as if it were the super bowl seriously just listen to it and replace the candidates names with teams and you know what that is so true if you watch my mainstream misstatements then you know they usually refer to the media's coverage of the election as a horse race i call them out for sounding like commentators so i think that a super bowl comparison is just as valid the constant mindless banter and analysis when nothing is happening random sad to hear sports announcers pull out to fill their time it's all exactly the say this is the first quarterback to score a touchdown exactly five seconds after halftime in the fourth game of the season during leap year it almost sounds like the daily rundown now finally i want to respond to a viewer that watched my night last night quite lively happy hour we covered some

very serious stories like whether or not a woman cracking a nut in her butt in a russian gym mat is hot and whether or not an alien reptile has been implanted into president obama's head so think progress just as to his that is tweeted out as yeah that makes me want to eat any walnut ever also pretty sure the alien reptile was born in kenya so young come on the same page as you although i do have to say it would be an impressive feat as for the alien reptile not really sure where it's all from but i just know that it's hilarious so if anyone out there is in need of a laugh this take five minutes out of your day to watch the video for you make sure to purchase the full length on our facebook page and i think my rantings and i will be back with more as usual next week. now here on the show we've spent hour after hour day after day documenting the obama administration's vicious and aggressive war on whistleblowers thomas drake the bradley manning who has been relentless and while those in the u.s. government and the u.s.

media rally against wiki leaks. where leaked all those state department documents to the wiki leaks website he's a traitor and should be executed or put in prison for life as you may know classified information is now floating around the globe courtesy of the traitor and this is typical website which is based in sweet i'm not here to make a final judgment but to me new york times has committed at least an act of bad citizenship and whether they've committed a crime i think there's a very intensive inquiry by the justice department. now i've pointed out many times while you might not agree with the methods of wiki leaks or the personality had to tell legal attacks on this organization have impacts on journalists all across the country because guess what they to rely on government leaks take a case of james rising for example last spring the new york times writer and author of the book state of war was subpoenaed to testify at the trial of jeffrey sterling former central intelligence agency officer sterling was indicted in late two

thousand and ten on ten felony charges relating to alleged disclosures to rise and for his book state of war i think accused of leaking information about the u.s. efforts to sabotage the iranian nuclear program something which almost seems quite now we have presidential candidates openly calling for offing iranian nuclear scientists now rising was quote commanded to testify and the prosecution described him as an eye witness to serious crimes the crime being the leak of national security secrets now in july u.s. district court judge ruled that the new york times reporter did not identify his sources during the trial that cia officer jeffrey sterling and the government isn't taking no for an answer they've now formally appealed that decision so now in response a coalition of twenty nine news organizations including the new york times the a.p. newsweek am bloomberg are all coming to rise and surfactants they filed an ambitious brink yesterday to ask the u.s. court of appeals for the fourth circuit to conclude that a so-called reporter's privilege applies to rise in and rule. the government of

greece points out that countless major news stories were broken in the past several decades as a result of leaks from the pentagon papers to the abuses at abu ghraib so that's a move that i think we need to applaud because journalists have to stick together they have to defend each other fight for their rights if they want to be able to keep the public informed without fearing government backlash but even here we have to remember that there's obviously some picking and choosing going on this is after all the same new york times that used leaks from wiki leaks and that later turned against them but as the obama administration's war leaders continues everybody should be on guard because as this case points out not even journalists are safe. now we often talk about the increasing use in reliance on unmanned aerial vehicles or drones you've by our military our cia our law enforcement agencies and soon to be coming with the approval of domestic drone use in the u.s. media organizations commercial companies who knows who else issues of legality the ethics of killing with the push of

a button privacy concerns all these things need to be addressed as we head into a more automated world but it doesn't just stop with drones what technologies might we see next but about robots that care for the younger the elderly the may take over certain jobs the questions we have to answer as a society before going full throttle and in the next frontier joining me from our studio in new york is dr peter s.r.o. co-founder of the international committee for robot arms control and assistant professor at the new school thanks so much for joining us tonight and i guess first goes to start with a broader question you know where do you think we are in terms of the developed been fifty want to call this a revolution of getting to the point where maybe we've become really dependent on on these machines. well we're certainly at a moment where there's been a great deal of very robotic developments over the last decade both in terms of the military capabilities especially but in specific cases of vision systems and the

control systems of these small flying robots now really makes it possible and affordable for civilian drones and hobbyists to build their own drones but as well for the military to field large numbers of military drones but those are still primarily remote controlled and remote operated so there's a human being controlling the system somewhere along the line and what we're seeing in development now is this movement towards more autonomous systems and systems that control themselves without any kind of direction and control and so you know in taking that into account if you i know that you've been focusing a lot on the military and their use of drones lately or at cia to the unfortunate thing is that we haven't really gotten to that point where we've had an honest discussion about the legality of it about the ethics of it a lot of it you can say is probably thanks to the fact of the cia doesn't like to publicly talk about their drone program and so you what are the biggest you know questions that need to be answered there before we even move on to not just

something that's unmanned that someone else is controlling but to is the point where you know it controls itself. yeah well the nature of these systems is that they allow people to operate from a very great distance and that allows them to reduce the risks of sort of personal bodily danger but it also allows them to obscure their identities so the way that anonymous can cyber attack from a long distance now we can use these weapons to really attack from from a long distance and that then allows a lot of invisibility in obscurity as to who is really conducting those operations so the cia is using that. to conduct operations where we don't really know even whether it's a military operation or a cia operation and there's no if it was a military operation there would be sort of international laws the geneva conventions for instance that would allow us to be able to hold certain people responsible if they were committing atrocities or war crimes but with the cia

program that's that's all very obscure and the u.n. special reparatory first extrajudicial execution has requested. that that they have more transparency there just that we can even you know try to apply existing international law in terms of the autonomous systems there's not and they're used in official military activities and there's no specific laws against there are laws against indiscriminate and disproportionate use of weapons and targeting of civilians and so if those systems failed to meet those requirements it would be illegal so there is a resistance to really implementing some of those but. i think what we really need is an international treaty and an international agreement that really codify. our world agreement that we don't want autonomy systems deciding you know who lives and

that it's ok for a plane to fly itself but it's not ok for a plane to decide what to shoot. i think a very good point is it's even scary to me now that you have somebody deciding from thousands and thousands of miles away and how do you think this changes to once we get into our domestic airspace as i mentioned the president recently just signed this f.a.a. bill which means that in a couple of years they have to open up the skies huge investor drone use and i'm sure it's going to be media organizations we know that law enforcement wants to use it and it might help them find missing people or you know survey a certain area but there are privacy concerns here too. yeah i mean there's a broad range of concerns safety being first and foremost and there are elements of the f.a.a. bill that address the need to develop safe ways to integrate the system but then there's this mandate that by september two thousand and fifteen that the f.a.a. has to have in place all of the regulations to allow these unmanned systems to fly

in civilian airspace along with passenger airliners and things like that which in dangerous people who are in those planes as well as people on the ground but it has no real it doesn't address in any way the privacy issues and the f.a.a. has a mandate in a sense to protect people and in the air and on the ground and they've taken that as primarily a safety protection but i believe you can interpret the law and the a.c.l.u. has been arguing that you can interpret the law to cover the protection of privacy of individuals who are on the ground in so far as people have a certain expectation of privacy based on you know the architecture of our homes our yards and fences and things that we don't expect people to be you know looking at us from above or flying over our fence and looking in our windows and that we should have certain kinds of protections and not regard and then there's a question of you know who's collecting this data and on what basis and and how are

they able to collect track that keeps who owns that data whether it's the government or the police who are collecting information about suspects in criminal investigations or whether it's private companies who are collecting data about the movement and location of individual people their daily habits and behaviors. you know everything that you sort of do on the internet that's being tracked now imagine that all that could be tracked as you go out into the physical world. oh that's really very assuring you know all really important things to take into account all things that i think that we need to orce you know the government and the f.a.a. to actually publicly debates and you know is show us they're going to try to safeguard but you know i guess that gets it's kind of scary it's exciting and scary with all these new developments and technology that we have but i want to make sure i guess that we don't rush into them here thanks so much for joining us tonight

thank you for having me. org and take our last break of the evening that was from back bill o'reilly things that we should go easy on rick santorum for his insane comments and articles i honor and i'm happy hour california is the most disliked fate of the union jealousy anybody and scientists are working on a bill that could erase the most traumatic memories. of people calling what you said for free and fair elections. and we're still reporting from the lead story as you can hear behind me loud explosions that lead. me to be. at least.

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you lived something else here's some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.

ok guys it's time for tonight's full time award and tonight it goes to fox news host bill o'reilly last night bill stopped by the tonight show with jay leno and they delve into the topic of republicans getting their hands dirty on social issues when leno asked o'reilly why republicans care what happens in people's bedrooms well this is a rise or thoughts i think we want a president not that involved and if you get involved in social stuff and personal behavior judgments that's that's not what america wants i mean this whole you know . so far so good but that o'reilly decided to rick santorum needed

a knight in shining armor to defend his numerous insane statements. but you got drawn into a few things you mention past comments everybody has built the past comments you know we could you and me i mean we were yeah i know being a smart girl because of me but i let me say examples like i think. so according to o'reilly fentora this made them go because we need to cut him some slack i mean really i find a little hard to cut then time slack here well the thing is unlike you i don't find these comments just the blunders that misrepresent where santorum stands on the issues i think the so-called dopey comments actually say a lot about rick santorum and the kind of president that he would be but if i remember right i'm pretty sure there was one thing that our riley did put his foot down on should religion play such a big role in politics i think people should define their religion to why they believe what they believe if you're running for president i think they should do that but i don't think you should be seeing well my religion is better than yours so it's all right so they should be saying my religion is better than yours well

that it's a good thing if there are any muslim candidates or this clip would be pretty damning for santorum unlike islam where the higher war the civil war the say in our case we have civil laws but our civil laws have to comport with the higher law . our civil laws have to and that's why the issue of abortion as long as abortion is legal at least according the supreme court legal in this country we will never have rest because that law does not comport with god's law. all right so having the thimble and higher laws be the same is terrible want to provide is law but desirable when applied to christianity but i'm pretty sure that he's not insinuating that christianity is better than islam i'm sure he would never say that right so let's get him a little bit of slack here and from like ten times religious beliefs but affect his policies in any way. it's about some. something

only the knowledge oh no you know the base of the bible that the. as creatures of god to have been over the earth to use it wisely and steward it wisely that's for our benefit not for the earth spent on support even the hopes of global warming the scientists aren't so santorum led his religion dictate his stance on environmental issues but don't worry guys because i'm sure that that's just an isolated issue right after all that far doesn't think the government should tell you what to do. when you remove. god given right. to take my money tell you who you are and when you do. what ok so i guess but when it comes to contraception then he doesn't think that it's that big of a bad back out of a deal take a look maybe he said well that's ok. so it's not

ok some license to. do things in the section such as this is countered with how things are so the right approach is to is to accept this horribly created in the sense of of rape but nevertheless gift and. all right now are contraception right but how lovely contraception is dangerous and rates pretty good through god with equal contraception is allowed into the scenario you know bill i've tried really really hard to get some santorum some slack but it's just not that easy when he says all these crazy things and maybe i just need to take some lessons from you without giving people the benefit of doubt it was that i said black i didn't know one of that audience that i talk a lot we love yet it is little ari i looked at a very close circuit is i'd like to tell you when you were. no i just can't do this i know that santorum means all of those things that he says

a good those things that actually affect the way that he would run our country so i'm not going to be cutting santorum any slack any time soon but for letting him off the hook for his offensive and insane comments below reilly is tonight's to a time when. i got time for happy hour joining me this evening are two producer jenny churchill and medicine roll calls and heard on the hill reporter for the ladies. let's talk about this he has a right and everybody loves to hate on this he has a nobody really likes them and so when this story came out last year about how much money they were taking in from loose change things that are really pissed everyone off take a look. the transportation security administration is a raking in some pretty pennies t.s.a. officials say they collected more than four hundred nine thousand dollars in loose

change left by passengers last year are a couple lot of money and so some of these actually now represent of jeff miller bringing up a bill saying about money could better use by the u.s. troops and not to the t.s.a. would you say i'm all for keeping that money away from the t.s.a. and putting it basically i think it's good to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars of everyone's loose change and so you find her usual professional development goals can be breached that way i don't know the holder better way to feel well i mean i will stand by the fact that i think it's only been him feeling up thing only became a big deal what happened everybody nobody cared and it was just the browns but here's the but it made me want to start collecting my change is that a weird reaction to have people looked over and i was like i will start saving my pipe well you never know what it might or might add up to a couple hundred grand millions of dollars. all right let me just take it out to

talk about my states where i grew up in california pretty awesome and the commercials basically tell. people i'm a lot of misconceptions california but not really sure. if you are all servers or celebrities the role of yoga. is that everyone has a winery or. we play. again. all right so public policy polling did a study and i basically asked people to rate states by popularity and i don't get it because california ranked last and so my assumption here is the just has to be jealousy because california has everything to operate has the it has the mountains it has the desert gorgeous great food great weather like what i usually name ugh yeah exactly like i was on your side of the city was really i was on your side this morning i thought my summer i'm picking on california and then i had to listen to

you explain how wonderful california was for about five minutes and i literally was like where. do you live people who chose to go with the sea is not a state but i got all excited i was scrolling down papering out like oh where's. like the most hated place it would obviously have been california like you we're the. virgin yeah it was like in the top five number one was hawaii virginia wasn't far behind colorado tennessee with excel to kota people like south dakota overqualified oh you're going to get all those south dakota you know ours are going to collapse he said you know there was actually and that's the nation was saying that a lot of conservatives see california as kind of where all the evil comes from the only woodley. pot smoker and that also were ronald reagan and nixon and you know minus reagan one it's convenient yeah.

ok let's see what is going to happening in georgia i don't know where georgia ranks on this list of popular states but obviously we've seen a lot of crazy stuff going on with these insane bills you know that are trying to limit abortions now we have this crazy one in virginia and so we've spoken about some of the counter measures that people try to introduce but i kind of like this one coming legislator in georgia i take a look. this bill has been drafted for all women who have the wherewithal to choose it is time where mincha still the same question an invasion of privacy that women face for years. so what this bill would do exactly is it would ban the practice of male sterilization except in cases where man pieces serious health risks without one. are you damn good idea i love that woman i have to say i like her she's like this is what you put us through and i want you to know but yeah i mean it's

a natural right to bare legs and over if you're a man by certain lesion well he doesn't like the fact that you really mean that he's having castration. you know. i mean if you i want to make a very funny point and i appreciate it do you think it's a real bill though what if you know she was salut lee is proposing this but i mean there's been all kinds of bills and amendments like that where it's like if that passed that would be insane but people brought up a you know certain different provisions of measures to try to make them stand out so that it brings attention to them and you know rightly so are covered under health care let's really been questioned and we should explore that further and i also want to have but i would think too much for joining me tonight that's it for tonight's show thanks for joining an admixture to come back tomorrow because to jane hamsher the founder of firedoglake because tomorrow bradley manning's arraignment will be held up for him to be so in the meantime don't forget become
