take another break when we come back you said i've read it and the cia is just getting about the idea of spying on you in your own home for the how they might do the. same. people calling what you said for free and fair elections. can be are still reporting from the. map you can hear behind the loud explosions and. they gave her a. you

know sometimes you see the story and the scene so you think you understand it and then he lives something else here's some other part of it and realize that everything you. are is a big. ai

guys aside for you said it i read it right they kind of were thought of my brilliance in engaging viewer comments on facebook twitter and you too and you got them to say i listen now first i was thought of you were the wash our interview with our tease very own to lauren lyster on the latest round of big bank stress tests courtesy of the federal reserve john calibur comments on facebook they should be authorizing stress tests for the long suffering a bank customers you know what i agree it's a long overdue it about our reserves are acting in the interest of the average american bank customer instead of the interest of the big banks themselves they could start by doing a stress test that would actually predict how the big banks would fare in a massive financial crafts that's that's just an idea now for those of you that may

. that on friday we pointed out many of the ways in which this stress test was virtually worthless so go back and check that interview out next hour to respond to the viewer to watch my interview with gawkers john cook on the f.b.i. spying on domestic activists over the past several years not to tease comments on you tube this is a great opportunity for government cutbacks f.b.i. operatives to many of obviously with too little to do too much time on their hands and it does seem like bad guys an awful lot of time on their hands i don't do they have a massive spying operation to monitor muslims in america but in their spare time they find if they find to be concerned about an alliance between the homeless and the anarchists and they monitor radicals that shop at those evil farmers' markets have a sense that you billion could probably be shaved off that domestic surveillance budget and the u.s. would be just as safe now if the f.b.i. would ever admit of course they need to keep their fear level up so they can justify all that money but finally what would you say that i read it be without something from rick santorum responding to our tool time about rick santorum that

war on porn read one one one commenter on you tube the only thing dumber than running against birth control is running against porn and you know i think i have to agree here you see the massive and completely justified and proper reaction to the g.o.p.'s war on women while contraception shouldn't even be an issue every man should stand up for women's health and rights for she that's not the case but you mess with horn and then you'll be waging a war on men too so watch out at that my rantings and i love you back with more later that week. last week we joined in on the sunshine we thought we spent each day calling for more transparency in the government on every level but still mostly on the federal level so guess what there is actually more because the center for public integrity released their latest study today which focuses on the state level and after doing research on all fifty state houses c.p.i. determine that all of them lack transparency and accountability on some level and they're all still at high risk of corruption issue to grade each state based on

factors like campaign finance executive legislative and judicial accountability lobbying disclosure redistricting and pension fund management just to name a few and it turns out that none of the saith out there not a single one received in a ranking the highest scores were actually b.s. and those went to connecticut washington state california nebraska and new jersey the churns out that states that have a very public history of corruption actually more likely to enact new rules to keep it from happening again kind of makes sense now those who didn't fare so well michigan north north and south dakota south carolina maine virginia wyoming and georgia all of these. and biggest problem with those days was lack of teeth a lack of enforcement for anything other state houses did and the problems vary from a state house that holds too many members to keep accountable to very small safe houses the hold so much trust in their lawmakers if there are just virtually is no

oversight and i think these findings are certainly sad but not surprising as you've been watching way too many republican stump speeches where the take is states good federal governments all that taken for politicians to slug it out claim that if we just returned all the power to the states everything would be perfect. i think i like the way you worded it because it's not taking a national control of an issue and say all those things for doing what we're really doing is returning to the states and trying to treat marijuana like we treat alcohol by a health care plan by the way just one that under our constitution we're allowed to have the people in our state chose a plan which i think is working for our state at the time we crafted i was asked time and again is this something that you would have the federal government do i said absolutely not i do not support a federal mandate i do not support a federal one size fits all plan i believe in the constitution that's why the attorney general here is saying absolutely not you can't impose obamacare on the

states. as a great city i'm never forced into the state has a right to it's not a it's not a constitutional right of the state has the right to surpass whatever whatever statute they have there's a joint federal state program to save what's left of the everglades would you commit to continuing that federal financing of the every business here i don't i don't see any reason to go after that i would still look into the details on whether that could be a state issue or not let's take that money bundle up south carolina's fair share in every other state fair share senate of them and say you care for your people in the way you feel best let's do that at the state level. so whether it be health care birth control gay marriage education everything would be better if only it were in the hands of the fate of go back to public integrity report our state governments really to be trusted with every single government function after all it's the states that have been passing in saying bill after insane bill on collective bargaining immigration abortion just to name

a few that i mention all the states that bailed c.p.i. study were also moderates a very conservative when it comes to the voting season so i just thought i'd throw that last little tidbit of knowledge in there through every state missing the mark on transparency i think that it's time we all have more balance and more adult conversation about the role of state governments versus the federal government because faith good federal government bad it's just too simple and it simply isn't working. now the cia or the central intelligence agency prides itself on being the best spying machine in the world to trace described it the cia is a national treasure and i'm sure new technologies that you know we're all going to love going to depend on making the job easier for them it's social networking a variety of gadgets that we all news use that are now connected to the internet like your playstation your smartphone your g.p.s. soon enough even more devices inside your home as the tray is set of the summit this month for in-q tel given the digital transparency of our world we have to quote rethink our notions of identity and secrecy and it's not necessarily true

let's take a look at what plans the cia has in store and who it's working with to get their christoffersen going at the open society foundations is here to discuss christine thanks so much for joining us tonight thank you ok first can we backtrack a little bit and i said where was that said this at this summit for. our viewers what that is that is short so include so is a venture capital firm that the cia funds but is not the only funder of and invest money into companies that balance the cia's mission and the mission of course being to spy on foreigners and to protect the country so this is really interesting it's like the cia has this whole other business wing you know i mean general petraeus or no longer i guess if general petraeus started out saying i met with a bunch of venture capitalists and had dinner with them last night i mean how much of this do you think is part of his job to which is just finding businesses that want to create new technologies they know that the cia is definitely going to rest

in it but i don't think it's his job he's obviously the director of the agency but certainly you could say oh but he does a lot of schmoozing you think now sure every director of every agency though schmoozing but he's not individually going out and taking companies and saying ok we should invest in these guys i'm sure he's receiving pitches on occasion but you know goes out and there's pitches from firms and when they think that the mission of the cia matches the mission and the company. and you know there is some money in there he has a lot of money and companies in silicon valley are always looking for venture capital funds i mean not thank you so isn't the only venture capital fund in silicon valley there are plenty that are out there that are getting investment from a certain cachet because it means that the government thinks your investment is important ok so it makes you feel like you're at your top notch might mean that let's also just segue to talk about some of the basic little technologies that we all of the and i'm these days you know whether it be using your i phone or something else how much is the of this is really helping the cia in terms of what

it is that it wants to do you know in terms of gathering intelligence and where the legal boundaries start because obviously they're not supposed to be spying on us citizens shores so over the last few decades we've increased only come to intrust third parties with our private data whether it's the phone company whether it's companies like google and facebook to whom we use online and e-mail and social networking services whether it's the video game system in your living room your exports your play station the g.p.s. device you have in your vehicle that helps you when you get lost all of these companies have been trusted by us we bring them into our homes we bring them to our most private places and they're collecting data about us in many cases and storing it you know in the cloud or in some data center and once the data leaves our possession it's really up for grabs for the government now you know there are laws that exist that protect their data and at least place some limits on what the government can get when they can get it but those laws largely protect americans and so when foreigners are dumb enough to trust their personal data so u.s. companies i mean it's really just a gold mine of information for the u.s.

government but how much farther do you think it's going to go right what new kinds of applications are technologies are a little gadgets a real going to start to use that we think make our life so much easier but then i guess maybe make all of your information that more vulnerable so certainly one of the things the cia is looking at and rubbing it's going its hands is the smart grid technology so this is the idea that you know traditionally your cut your power comes. he has known how much power you use each month now they know and some states how much power you're using at any given moment and there are certain crimes that the large amounts of power in someone's home and you could imagine that you're using a twelve hour on twelve hour off cycle that that would give a signature that law enforcement or other or other persons might show up for an interest and certainly as we move from a model where the power company just knows how much you have to which devices you have in your opponent when they're on and which room they're in that provides a wealth of information that could help with the intelligence community and

traditional law enforcement also i want to bring up one of the thing here is here which is you know clearly the cia now they've realized that you have to monitor or you can monitor social media you can go on facebook you should monitor twitter and i help you figure out what people are thinking and saying and doing around the world one thing he has to do. you know to trace that we have to do is figure out how to protect the identity of our officers who increasingly have a digital footprint from birth and moreover have to figure out how to create a digital footprint for new identities for some officers and so in that case i mean let's talk about facebook right let's talk about this timeline be sure that we have . that it's just ok for them to try to exploit these technologies figure out how to create a whole profile so let's actually unpack that so what he's describing are two completely separate issues in the first one i think is one where the cia's interests actually line with ours those of us who care about privacy what he's saying here is that you know a parent will put their kids' photos on facebook and keep loading photos as the kid ages and eventually you know that kid may go to college and then you know do

advanced degree and then apply at the cia and then go undercover all then they have a problem which is that there are all these photographs tracking the kids progress through life that are linked to a photograph that can potentially be you know recognize using advanced technology that the cia may even be funding and the cia has this program ok well how do we keep our agents undercover when their life up until their cia was it was public they don't have a solution because it's over sharing parents right. right and that and that student when they were in college and when they were you know in a high school and they just want to communicate with their friends we have a problem now which is that our entire lives are linked to something that we cannot change nothing being our face and there are a lot of technologies that are coming online either now or soon that will really make it trivial for someone to be able to just with a face to be to find out everything that exists about you that's online so that's one problem and the president is right the other one is of course that they want to be able to create detailed fake back stories for agents and so given that a real person is going to have

a year's worth of social networking information they're going to need to populate fake social networking profiles with with junk but convincing john this raises several is sure a lot of young kids out there might even know how to deal with this but i think somebody that is growing you know with faith but from from high school that's i think i mean they want to play both sides are right on one hand there is the privacy concern but then they also just want to learn how to explain it to go to their advantage i think a rap rap and thanks for joining us thank you. are we taking our last break of the evening when we come back the first amendment's if you take it away that's according to a chicago police officer that apartment with articles on war night and on happy hour and forums insulted by questions about joe fraternal protecting bravest and back up close combat assets were seized. all that with the. same. people calling what you said for

free and fair elections. and we're still reporting from the same as you can hear behind the loud explosions. the. t.v. . you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so for like sleep you think you understand it and then you

glimpse something else new fears to some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm charging welcome to the big picture. above. our guys it's time for tonight's tool time award and tonight

let's go to the chicago police department for the trampling on the rights of local journalists see over the weekend the photographer and reporter were arrested trying to cover a story outside of a chicago hospital and yet another shocking disregard for americans first amendment rights is journalists are covering a story covering the story of a six year old girl who was shot and later die typical to local news form they were camped outside of mount sinai hospital where the girl been transported and that's willing countered officer ward of the chicago p.d. and that is where the battle for the median happened have a he said she said to be honest but there is one thing that does not lie and that's video and luckily for us photographer john t. williams kept this camera rolling through this altercation with the officer officer one of them off the median sidewalk in all the way across the street but i say lucky for us because without this video we wouldn't have the evidence that the chicago police department believes and they are the judge and the jury when it comes to journalists first amendment rights take it out. first like.

you. your first amendment rights can be terminated wow well that's news to me if any officer in any town to just decide on a whim but you no longer are entitled to the rights given to you by the constitution then what exactly is the point of the first amendment and i have to say that i feel so secure knowing that my rights to be taken away when one man decides that i'm causing a scene or whatever i mean i wonder what whatever actually means is whatever means i can lose my first and i'm right it's obvious reward as out of coffee this morning maybe whatever means that i can lose my first memory right of his life isn't giving him any this week when we are using the term what ever an application to a scenario of rights being taken away tonight whatever really can mean whatever the person who feels like taking away your rights line said to me at that moment i'm sure the only people who are doing really bad whatever is that have their rights

taken away right oh that's not our officer lard continues with his rock solid logic when the journalist challenged him on his statements. you see you can see this is great if you were looking. at everything is there anything. yeah their presence is creating a scene so by officer words reasoning just being somewhere it can be creating a scene and creating a scene can result in your first amendment rights to be your boat so when exactly do we have our first amendment rights but we aren't somewhere because i'm pretty sure if i'm not somewhere i don't need my rights to allow me to be there now we don't want to single out the chicago p.d. because they're just the latest department to arrest her less that are attempting to do their job for you remember back in november when seventeen journalists were arrested by the n.y.p.d. trying to cover the occupy wall street movement so is this starting fear once again of cops arresting journalists threatening journalists simply because they don't want them to be in a certain place at a certain time so for arresting

a photographer and reporter and for causing a scene or whatever and being the latest example of police trampling on the first amendment rights chicago police department is tonight's trial time where. are you guys it's time for a happy hour and joining me tonight archie producer jenny churchill and a reason i give the mike riggs sorry hello. are you guys this little video of probably the cutest thing i've ever seen but these perpetrators gotten trouble because you know if it preyed you shouldn't be gambling this is columbia elementary in omaha and they shut down an n.c.a.a. tournament pool put together by this eleven year old kid.

oh this. kid was my friends we. think five we thought five dollars each. my god five dollars i doubt that's criminal mastermind right there seriously he sort of now is a criminal for a wife and you know every time you googled a kid's name from here on out college application prep school you know when you decide. follows you have gone like a sperm donor or something that was a good dream i was like i don't want to pass along a gambling gene because life is rough i also like that he was quoted for the local newspaper as saying i guess it's kind of like a legal i think. is that anything really illegal when you're that age and i get my you know yeah i know you don't you know. this really really ruin exports something not so we spoke about rick santorum and his like crazy weird war on porn

that he's waging our here's a clip of him last week. you draw your conclusion well you're whether the administration has not put a priority my conclusion is they have not been the priority on on on prosecuting these cases and in doing so they are exposing children to tremendous amount of harm and that to me says that they're putting. their foot in the unfortunate of this law and putting children at risk as a result of that. are at least trying to claim that the obama d.o.j. cares more about poor and it has children and families which i find hilarious but so despite all of this you know and he has made numerous statements that wasn't the only clip then he was on a chicago radio station being interviewed and i decided to ask him a question about the turtle and listen what happened. if we were to replace barack obama with the name joe paternal could we see the joe paterno seem to be favoring

a child rapist over the penn state football program. for that insulting question. it's. downright systems three it was question there and i'm not going to answer it. i have to point out really fast this is like the first time ever rick santorum has kept his mouth shut which i find really intriguing what this is going to hold the song to i think all the people in the world are you scared you know you probably why don't you try being turned over you know. but i really don't know yet and it's also it's just plainly not true i mean one of the first big cases of the obama d.o.j. prosecuted was john. mann of pornographer and granted they didn't put a whole lot effort into that but they took the guy to trial and if they'd won he would under present you know it's just simply not true they have and i also find us so fascinating because the g.o.p. is so big on you know stay out of our home stay out of our business you know whatever and then you like oh but i need you to parent for us because we can't keep

our kids from watching porn so it's really the obama administration's fault that jimmy's in the other room watching explicit you know i mean the good news is that this is now a fringe position to take i don't think twenty years ago or twenty five years really are all this progressing our head you know here in this country at least like he's got now actually you know from the right to come out to defend him and say like not defend his position but rather defend like why is everybody jumping on him for this now i mean there's not even like a real conservative defense of his position because now he's trying to be president of the united states. it's so it's a thing that you can't say if you want to be president i progress i know you run say around our lord and be president that's just is yes warm up broaching yet because it's french or is it french because santorum is approaching it we don't know i think i. mean that you that's what's going to point to straights and point something that's kind of the. i know right there let's there's a quick. in the case of kim. take

a look. him dot com builder of the file sharing website vega upload is a free man at least for now he will judge credit for the thirty eight year old man and released after more than four weeks in cuffs i'm relieved. to see my family my three little kids and my rights it's been a while since he was arrested and turns out he got released because there was a paperwork mistake the judge had said the order had no legal effect basically well they were concerned about letting him out because they thought he was a flight risk and then they let him out and then there's a mistake and he now has all of his money and assets yet came back on as a flight risk the way the elephant man is a flight risk there's no airport in any country in the world that's going to like you like is that can dot com know if that can really come on i mean the guy sort of like difficult to miss in more ways than one he's not going anywhere and you heard him he want to go see his family and his ferrari lamborghini and all that money you

know really play i think that you're kind of overestimating the. fame when it comes to airport security i mean i just i would i would i would tease him or pat him down if i worked for the t.s.a. or the equivalent agency in some other country and he just looks like a scum bag these are going. really. really rather unique because you know for now your peers i want to say i didn't even know if you know what i do so i just i just you know why risk i mean for somebody who committed a financial crime is just like all the bogus not to mention that the task force that busted him was international where can he go but where you can hear why you're so eager to pat down can't that there are some that's ok and i'm really wanting to know i didn't say he's are going anywhere the whole thing we'll see we'll ok yeah. we're done talking about you guys. thanks for coming in and making a comeback tomorrow who in a sense from haiti is going to be honest that's the latest news. in the meantime got to get to become a fan of your show on facebook and follow us on twitter as anything you ever miss
