1:34 pm
congratulations price you get a sign to show mugs will be in touch to figure out how to get that to you now moving on to more serious matters last night we interviewed the young turks and asperin about new data released by the department of education which revealed that minorities especially black boys face punishments and much harder in school than other students and one of our viewers commented on youtube saying he could boost said i hate race baiting like this it's stupid and dishonest race doesn't directly play a role only socio economic status i.e. poverty plays a role now i would wholeheartedly agree with our viewer here that poverty is the biggest factor and the type of education that a child receives in this country that's a horrible thing but what ann and i were doing last night was not race baiting but the sky things that if they can data which back up another very sad conclusion that in districts where black students made up only eighteen percent of the enrolled population they counted for thirty five percent of the suspended and forty six percent of those suspended more than once so this isn't a mass sample these are numbers from the same districts in the name same schools
1:35 pm
are minorities are being targeted within a school more than their white counterparts and finally i want to respond to a viewer wants to know where all the fun went the evil. posted on our facebook and said i liked your shows in two thousand and ten and still do now back then you would put these funny clips gig into it and made it very interesting so i have a really good news for you is a bit of fun is coming back with a few skits in the works so stay tuned and that's it my rantings and i'll be back with more next week. now while comprehensive immigration reform or even federal laws like the dream act are all a back burner in this election year or members of congress have already admitted that nothing will get passed states are still actively legislating on immigration related matters and georgia just this week the senate passed as before fifty eight which would bar undocumented immigrants in the state from attending any university college or technical school are currently undocumented immigrants are barred from attending the top five universities in the state have to pay out of state tuition
1:36 pm
fees to attend the others but if this bill passes through the state's legislative body then where will the students go well there is one option that's called freedom university it's located in athens georgia and according to the mission statement on the website freedom university is a volunteer driven organization that provides rigorous college level instruction to all academically qualified students or garbus of their immigration status so let's find out more about it joining me is bethany morrison assistant professor at the university of georgia and a professor at freedom university and the start of a magical undocumented youth in georgia and a freedom university student i want to thank you both so much for joining us tonight and i guess so i want to start with you and i just want to get your opinion on what you think is happening within the state why you think that lawmakers there already clearly restrictions for undocumented immigrants there in attending university so why do they want to take it even further and bar it and how does that make you feel. well i think i believe that's the reason why they want to take
1:37 pm
you you can further you know i'm top of the list and from universities. as they only know that there's real problems going on in this that they don't want to address and they want to scapegoat undocumented students and immigrants like me and say oh it's you know it's their fault that we're going through there is that these problems exist and we're going to deal with them instead of the feeling with the real causes in the real problems that exist here in the state and the way it makes me feel the way it makes me feel it's you know i don't i don't you know little cuban i guess a i don't feel like i'm sort of an education but i mean deep down i know that you know i'm a human being and i do this sort of medications specially when i do what. i had bethany why don't you tell us a little more about freedom university about how it is that you know that it got started people like yourself got involved. well it was just
1:38 pm
a sort of sense that something had to be done at the level of just our continuing to keep students connected to higher education at a moment where the state was making moves to and says that they had no business in our publicly supporting colleges and universities at the time just at the most the five most competitive campuses which include. georgia and now through this new bill that will be extended across the state so i have full of us who simply. know undocumented people our neighbors and and occasionally i think potential students decided that there were at least one thing we could do and that was continue to offer coursework while the students mounted this extraordinarily effective and brave protest and push back against these policies are so it's an amazing honor to get to teach people who want so badly in a classroom and there's only so much we can to. we reach about
1:39 pm
thirty thirty five students but it does help keep people who really want to get involved in learning while we look for a more permanent solution. at the state level and at the national level. are there any risks for you and terms of trying to attend for him university you know do people know where it is going to be easy for the operators to come in and say hey we have an entire classroom full of undocumented students let's go get them. yeah i mean i don't i do the risk i mean you know the risk is always there we could always going to class and you know and take it by the tea party here you know the people behind that sport at least of the smashers but for me you know i'm going to document student government document activists i've been our prison guard and they're going to person is going to state of georgia for now and so i guess that
1:40 pm
risk is kind of you know sorts of the disappear. over time and you know i can remember with the second question was the first question was. just asking about you know whether you think that it might be easy for an easy target for authorities because they know that this is a university where i don't know all of the students but where a majority of the students are undocumented yeah well honestly they can come and try to do something they can't they can't do anything you know being you know being undocumented you know here in the state of georgia you know i know that they go bad it will look for them if they come into the room and they say ok you guys are undocumented we're picking you up because you want to study because you want an education and that's something that we've seen nationally with all these coming out of the shadows events where equal who are undocumented come out and come out and say they're undocumented in front of authorities and you know sometimes they do
1:41 pm
civil disobedience sometimes they don't but you know the police know that when the cameras are around and you know we've been covered before that they can't really do anything to people who are undocumented. you know tell us more too in terms of this school if indeed this legislation does get passed where there is this statewide ban on attending any of the universities do you think that you're going to see more students you think you might see more professors volunteer i mean this is your volunteering so you're not getting paid to do it you're taking out your free time to do it and at the end of the day the students don't get a degree from going to credited university that's going to help them get a job although i guess that being an undocumented student always faces that challenge right. you know exactly i mean this is this is a band-aid on a huge plumes but what we have seen is enormous amounts of support from other educators from universities in the state of georgia from residents in georgia and
1:42 pm
people all over the country saying this is terrific we want to help keep this going we exist entirely on donations that have come to our web site at the university of georgia that com and gives the books all the books for this have been donated all the time we have guest speakers who on their own nickel will fly down to georgia and lead a class people who are our part of national level academic conversations and want to help keep students connected and learning and still use our legislative barriers have been removed so yes if those houses are expanding who are people who are directly affected and i think what we've seen is plenty of people in the state money of educators who are delighted that there's a way to address this and understand what this is doing to the state that this is trying talented students everyone in this who is watching this and teachers should
1:43 pm
be so lucky as to have a student like this double in a classroom at some point in their career right and this is a young man who is not going to be allowed on to other campus. in the state of georgia and people like him are going to be driven out of the state and take their talents and take their ears and dirt institutions. primary and secondary education with them and have to invest those elsewhere and i think what has been so encouraging for those of us teaching there at least i don't know how often the students get to see those but it's just how much support there is and how you educators think that this is anything but outrageous and i have to hope they're nice and what prevailed i couldn't agree more with my. it was said about what the sort of political drive here is is to use the students to bully these young people and use them as scapegoats who are huge system wide problems with funding and
1:44 pm
allocation of resources within public bertie's both in georgia and elsewhere right but sure there are limits to what we can do as volunteers and frankly none of us is interested in trying to replace the real need here which is for the students to attend colleges in your first piece in the states where they and their parents work and live and pay taxes and i get a comprehensive immigration reform one point would be nice as well i want to thank you both so much for joining us tonight and it really sounds like a great a great project to a lot of respect all the people that are part of that thanks so much for joining us thank you. we have to take our last break the night we come back it's the return of the lobbyists and another broken promise from obama wins are told time of war and on a happy hour not just japanese men that are over having sex seems like their alligators are too and sleep deprivation causes you to be more distracted by the internet all that coming up.
1:45 pm
us and stand shoulder greet and one problem or another socialism has spread the shadow of human regimentation over most of the nations of europe and the shadow is encroaching upon the frontier. to leave early twenty first century military bases a network of military bases all around the forms the evil empire that the united states is trying something that's astonishing most americans have no idea there are more than a quarter of a million more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all around us. we don't have foreign bases in america we don't have any british base we don't have any korean bases we don't have any french bases or you know we just all american bases in in our bases of why are
1:46 pm
the noises wrong nor is it doesn't bother us at all because they're our bases but for other people it's almost like a cancer if your friends feel you since the into world war two three spaces have been for. we're here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody. the questions the appeals to get everything you needed.
1:47 pm
well. technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. our guys it's time for tonight's tool time award and tonight we're going to the main man himself president obama to back when obama was on the campaign trail he
1:48 pm
was really outspoken about putting a stop to the corruption in d.c. once it became commander in chief one of the things he made sure that everybody knew was that he didn't like the lobbyists that work over on k. street under this latest it's a tell the loveliest of washington that there are ways of setting the agenda oh oh . then we'll go work at my white house but if you look at my track record not only do i not take federal lobbyist money and pac money in this campaign. and that's why. your voice is any more when i am president of the united states has a. all right so i think he made his point pretty clear obama's administration would not be run by lobbyists it seems so straightforward it's ok to our attention that obama's appointed steve or cheri is a callous certifies president biden now percent is very well known amongst
1:49 pm
washington politicians because he spends a lot of time in the nation's capital as a lobbyist and obama knows it so he has had some pretty big clients like fannie mae g.m. eighteen t. just to name a few and are the words of dana milbank over the washington post he's also been through the revolving door more than a bellhop at the doubletree hotel so check this out for the eighty's he worked in the private sector lobbying on behalf of firms like blue cross blue shield and the ninety's was the federal government employees serving as a deputy chief of staff to president clinton up until he left office then he went back to the private sector where he start his own lobbying firm with his brother and estate on that side of operations until his most recent appointments are you did he shifted gears quite a few times in the past few decades and in fact are said he was originally hired to work as a part of clinton's presidential campaign in two thousand and eight and then senator obama was giving hillary hell for not following his lead on the no lobbying front.
1:50 pm
cultures working with the special interests and lobbyists the first couple days the better drug companies. they should. come to. the war the all the way they do. so that ordinary people to voice. it is if you stop taking money from the lobbyist like i still do. so now how is it possible that this well known lobbyist has a new gig in the white house well because he knows how to play the game so keeping to his word team obama made a rule that any lobbyist allowed to switch teams and work on the political side had to be out of the game for two years or five for a special waiver and not rules one of obama's first priorities as president ever said he being the smart man that he is technically withdrew his name from all lobbying gigs in two thousand and eight even though there is ample evidence that he was still pulling all the strings for his lobbying firm behind the scenes but hey as long as his name is not in the paperwork that obama gave them i'm sorry but i
1:51 pm
just don't get it does the president on his own rules these simply choose to ignore them when they're no longer convenient we have an idea obama i actually go back to your own web site whitehouse dot gov read up on earth executive order one three four nine zero and specifically it like to direct you to sections two and three which elaborate on the limits that you set on lobbyists explaining what they can and can't do we even put the web address on the screen and case it forgot so you're welcome why would you waste everyone's time by actually writing out this elaborate set of rules if you're not going to follow them makes you look foolish and worse disingenuous so for everyone who's watching at home or should he isn't the only member of the president's staff who is listed as a lobbying firm listed a lobbying firm as their previous employer either all i can picture is an image of obama saying hey we can't beat em join em so for overlooking his own executive order and yet again going back on one of his campaign promises president obama is tonight's told time when.
1:52 pm
our guys it's time for happy hour and joining me this evening r t web writer andrew blake and my grades associate editor at reason magazine and reason dot com. i would go in pretty good like i feel if you and i are always talking about the t.s.a. for some reason every time my mind and he s. they are going to path right so this blogger basically has posted a video online saying that he's figured out a way around those really pesky and basic body scanners take a look and the samples of individuals are concealing metallic objects that you can see some plaque shape on their light figure again late figure black background and black threat items yes that's right if you have a metallic object on your side it will be the same color as the background and
1:53 pm
therefore completely invisible. i says name jonathan corbett he was the first person to sue the t.s.a. over these machines and he also tried this so a pocket into the side of the shirt took a metallic object excuse me and then just did the whole thing and they walked right through the body scanner at the airport what do you think. i do buy it actually blogger bob at the t.s.a. his blog responded today saying obviously we can't get there is we can't yet blogger but that's just to say a name i. totally understand why it is not his last name on there because like who wants to be the guy whose job it is to explain t.s.a. why he said you know they won't explain their practices because it's top secret and the scanners are only one of thirty security practices they have such as training complete idiots and high school dropouts and how to spot a terrorist so i think that way by refusing to engage the argument of can you put something on your side it's like
1:54 pm
a tacit admission that you can. for whatever outside his new know how because so many people didn't like those images because they show the full body why now they have these other images that are just kind of this weird little like generic being and i had to go through an enemy brace on it there's just got a big white circle that stuck out apparently i mean does that change it at all i wonder because the whole thing is always a game so i try to bring stuff on the every time just to see what happens but actual security is a game and a little bit you're going to join. whatever happens the old fashion way of putting it out there but yeah yeah yeah exactly what yeah oh that's cruel yeah i mean i don't think the backscatter machines can catch stuff in your colon from what i've read and from what i was searching experience let's move on to the next story here . so last night was not only super tuesday in terms of the presidential election but they also had to say provide
1:55 pm
a someone who has been on the show many times to. many of you in this room. i've known you for years and you know i've had lost campaigns before. and there's always a tomorrow i don't. you know don't cry any tears for me. so thanks to some redistricting. losing his seat to another democrat marcy kaptur. well i mean a lot of people don't realize that the first election he lost was to be viceroy of mars so i personally think there's going to she's going to get over this and he can go home and go back to his own plan like this. we're going to newsgroups energy and he's incredibly tall wife who's actually not only a bodyguard in a woman suit your needs to go back ok to your yeah that's not nice at all a lot of sympathy for career politicians who lose their jobs like he should be temporary i'm sure that's true i don't think that you should be on capitol hill
1:56 pm
forever but it was nice to have somebody at least that was hilarious that kept trying to actually claim that he was pro-war but he is pretty directly antiwar and it was nice to see like a real left not that he didn't also side with the party line and as i wore anti drug war which i loved him for pro it was i don't really care you know i was i think i was sympathetic until i saw that he wore a pink tie on election day if he's going to win like that it's not powerful he's going to tell everybody all right so he also sued over the olive pit which at being i won't be. ok here is another lawsuit which is kind of interesting to take a look at what explains that lindsey blanc wire file suit saying a roommate's sex life affected her mental health she appealed to the administrators to move out and got nowhere to return he writes like meyer fell into a dark and suicidal depression after months she eventually moved back to new york
1:57 pm
state finished class work and graduated. now the school just. you know they tried to offer her her lodging after that a private room and she never explained that it was because of the sexual stuff but it's just kind of an interesting complaint to make. you know she said she became suicidal eventually had to go into a hotel because her. can just tell you are making you stop having so much that it's just like sleeping on the floor of your dorm in the hallway like i did my entire freshman year of college i mean come on there are steps you can take to make sure you don't have to listen to your roommate run again twenty four hours a day you know no i didn't say the same i said same problem actually i spent a lot of time sleeping on the hallway of my during my freshman year but it was great it made me stronger it was a good learning experience for you sleeping or no no no i was just sleeping i took a pillow out there and took the pill yes i took a pill i. have are you depressed because you're the roommate that's not having as
1:58 pm
much sex. yeah maybe i don't know if that wasn't me i don't know getting maybe you may i'm not saying i didn't know what sex was until my freshman year oh you know but yeah i did i don't buy the story i don't buy i think she's lying what do you say i was like a liar to me looks like a liar i did say she looks like probably a liar ok thank. you thanks for joining me tonight about that but i'd show it thank you for tuning in as make sure they come back tomorrow i mean time to forget become a fan of the latest on facebook called some twitter there's anything you ever miss you can catch the you tube dot com slash ilona shell by interviews as well as the show in its entirety there and coming up next is the name.
