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 them and tell you how they might come back. to the same. people calling what you said for free and fair elections. can bear still reporting from the. past you can hear behind me loud explosions. the the. t.v. .

you know sometimes you see a story in the scene so you think you understand it and then he lived something else here's some other part of it and realized everything you saw you don't. charge the big picture.

our guidance for you said it i read it i take time to respond to my brilliant and aging viewer comments on facebook twitter and you too can got them to say i listen to our course i'll respond with you or the washed our interview with artie's very own or in the list or 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 bank customers you know what i agree is a long overdue at the federal reserve are acting in the interest of the average american bank customer and for the interest of the big banks themselves because 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 made. but on friday we point out many of the ways in which this stress test was

virtually worthless so go back and check that interview out the next hour to respond to a viewer watch my interview with john cook on the f.b.i. spying on domestic activists over the past several years not to teens comment on you tube but the great opportunity for government cutbacks at the operative's too many of them obviously with too little to do too much time on their hands now it does seem like that is 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 we if i had to be concerned about an alliance between the homeless and the anarchists and they monitor radicals that shop at those evil farmers markets a sense that you billion could probably be shaved off that domestic surveillance budget and the u.s. would be just as safe now is that the 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 said i read it be without something from rick santorum responding to our tools

i about rick santorum that war on porn three 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 seem a massive and completely justified and proper reaction to the g.o.p.'s war on women while contraception should need to be an issue every man should stand up for women's health and rights for sure that's not the case but you mess with porn and then you'll be waging a war and then do so much out as of my rantings and i love you back with more later in the week. now last week we joined it on the sunshine we spent each day calling for more transparency in the government on every level but stayed 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 and c.p.i.

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 saved out there not a single one received a ranking built the the highest scores are actually be these and those went to connecticut washington state california nebraska and new jersey so it turns out that states that have a very public history of corruption actually more likely to enact new rules to keep it from happening again trying to make 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 things. and the biggest problem with those days was lack of teeth a lack of enforcement for anything other state houses did and the problems vary from state households to many members to keep accountable to very small state houses the hold so much trust in their lawmakers if they're just virtually is no

oversight and i think these findings are certainly sad but not surprising i see been watching when too many republicans stump speeches or the take is states good federal governments all that they can perfect auditions a flood to get out claim that if we had 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 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 what 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 do that it's not a it's not a constitutional right of the state has been has the right to suppress 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 ever to express your i don't know 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 no and 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 and 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 state of go back to the 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 fayetteville after and thing bill on collective bargaining immigration abortion just to name a few that i mention all the states that bailed p.p.i.

study were also moderates a very conservative when it comes to the season so i just thought i'd throw that last little tidbit of knowledge in there so that every state missing the mark on transparency i think that it's time we all have a more balanced a more adult conversation about the role of state governments versus the pressure all government because it's good better or 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 or as david petraeus described it the cia is a national treasure but 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 new 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 petraeus said of the summit this month or in intel given the digital transparency of our world we have to quote rethink our notions of identity and secrecy but 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 joining me to discuss christopher 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 into it so is a venture capital firm that the cia guns but is not the only funder all invest money into companies that grants 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 terrorists 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 q which is just finding businesses that want to create new technologies they know that the cia is definitely going to want

to invest in it but i don't think it's his job he's obviously the director of agency but certainly you could sell 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 making companies and saying ok we should invest in these guys and sure he's receiving pitches on occasion but i think it's all you know goes out and here's pitches from firms and when they think that the mission of the cia matches the mission of the company. and you know there are some money in there he has a lot of money and companies in silicon valley are always looking for venture capital funds i mean now in utah isn't the only venture capital fund in silicon valley there are plenty that are out there but getting investment from into itself has 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 i mean let's also just segue here in talk about some of the basic technologies that we all depend on 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 u.s. citizens short so over the last few decades we've increasingly come to trust 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 social networking services whether it's the video game system in your living room your exploits your playstation the g.p.s. device you have in your in your vehicle that helps you when you get lost all of these companies have been trusted by as we bring them into our homes we bring them into 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 the 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 to 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 or little gadgets the reality is that we think make our life so much easier but you know i guess may make all of your information that more vulnerable so certainly one of the things the cia is looking at and rubbing it's going it sounds 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 do you know in 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 can imagine if you're using a twelve hour on twelve hour off cycle that that would give a signature that law enforcement or other other persons might show an interest in certainly as we move from a model where the power company just knows how much you have to which devices you have in your home and 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 out kind of

a thing here it's 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 it might help you figure out what people are thinking and saying and doing around the world one of the things that he has to do that general petraeus you know betrays that we have to do is figure out how to protect the identity of our officers who increasingly have a real footprint from birth and moreover have to figure out how to create a digital footprint for new identities for some officers and so now casey let's talk about facebook right let's talk about if timeline feature that we have. it's just ok for them to try to exploit these technologies figure out how to create a whole profile so let's actually on part best of what he's describing are two completely separate issues and the first one i think is one where the cia's interests actually align 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 up loading photos as the kid ages and eventually you know that kid may go to college and then you know do a dance degree and then 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 recognized using advanced technology that the cia may even be funding and the cia has this program what they want how do we keep our agents undercover when their life up until their cia was it was public they don't have a solution to these over sharing parents right. right and that and that student when they were in college and when they were you know in 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 visit find out everything that exists about you that's online so that's one problem with the president of 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 junk this raises several is some a lot of young kids out there might even know how to deal with this but i think seventy this is growing you know with facebook from from high school but so they kind of i mean they want to play both sides around my hand there is their privacy concern but then they also just want to learn how to exploit it to go to their advantage because they get wrapped up in thanks for joining us thank you. are we taking our last break of the evening when we come back the first amendment's it is taken away that's according to a chicago police officer but apartment with articles on words and i have a happy hour and forms insulted by questions about joe for kerno which i think bravest and i go. that's were seized from for. all that we come back. to the same. people calling what you

said for free and fair elections. can bear still reporting from the summer if you can hear behind the loud explosions. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for langley is that you understand it and then you live

something else and here's you some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry we're going to the big picture. the same. for. the. plane. our guys it's time for tonight's tool time award and tonight go to the chicago

police department for the trampling on the rights of local journalists here over the weekend for talk of her 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 this story covering a story of a six year old girl who was shot and later died typical to local news form they were camped outside of mount sinai hospital to 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 kind of 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 to talk to for johnny williams had this camera rolling through this altercation with officer obvious or one of them off the median sidewalk in all the way across the street and i say lucky for us because without this video we wouldn't have the evidence that the chicago police department believes they are the judge and the jury when it comes to journalists first amendment rights check it out. like.

you're crazy. your first offender rights can be terminated wow well that's news to me if any officer in any salvage just decide on a whim or 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 need it 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 amendment right because 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 denied whatever really can't need whatever the person who feels like taking away your rights law 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 with us not all odds are large it continues with his rock solid logic when the journalist challenged him on his statement. to look fresh breeze and she said. we're looking. at your sanity again. yeah their presence is creating a scene so by officer ward's reasoning just being somewhere it can be creating a scene in creating a scene can result in your first amendment rights to be your vote so what exactly do we have our first ever rights when 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 journalists that are attempting to do their job sure 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 here 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 of a police department is tonight's trial time when. i do time for a happy hour and joining me tonight are two pretty heavy churchill and it reason i give the mike riggs right now. are you guys this little video probably the cutest thing i've ever seen but these perpetrators gotten trouble because for fifth grade 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 to collect.

so we got a crack here with my friends and we think five. dollars each. my god five although i'm value that's why. that's their mind right there seriously he sort of now is a criminal for a wife i mean every time you google their kid's name from here on out college application prep school you know when he decides. follows you if you don't like a sperm donor or something that has a veto mothers like i don't want to pass along the gambling gene that kid's life is ruined i also like that he was quoted in the local newspaper as saying i guess it's kind of like a legal like he can't even is that anything really illegal when you're that age and i guess you are going to yeah you know you go you know. it's really really ruining sports something not so we spoke about rick santorum like crazy weird war on poor and he's waving down 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 the priority 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 play with the obama d.o.j. cares more about poor and it does children and families which i find hilarious but so despite all of this you know he has made numerous statements that wasn't the only. then he was on a chicago radio station being interviewed the guy decided to ask him a question about turtle and listen. if we were to replace barack obama with the name joe paternal could we see the joe paternal seem to be favoring a child rapist over the penn state football program. that sort of

itself in question sent metronidazole and it's been spent to try to track gathering systems and the history it was question for in a mocking answer. 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 was going to hold on to what people in the world are you scared to and you know you probably why don't they just 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 a pornographer and granted they didn't put all that effort into that but they took the guy to trial and if they'd won he would have gone to prison so it's just simply not true that they haven't prioritized 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 use 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 headline here in this country at least like he's got the right somebody on the right come out to defend him and say why 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 right now it's so it's a thing that you can't say if you want to be president i progress i want you to say around the world war and be president that's just is yet warm up roach yet because it's french or is it french because santorum is approaching we don't know i think. that's what's going to point to straights in terms of the competitive problems i know right there let's just say there's a quick look to 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. you old man and released him more than four weeks and i'm relieved. to see my family my three little kids and my rights it's been of while since he was arrested and turns out he got released because there is a paperwork mistake the judge had said the order had no legal effect basically what 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 yeah kinda calm as a flight risk the way the man is a flight risk there's no airport in any country in the world that's going to like it like is that can dot com know exactly where i come on i mean the guy sort of way difficult to miss in more ways than one he's not going anywhere and you heard him he wants to go see a spammer and labor unions and all that money you know i think they i think they

are kind of overestimating the. fame when it comes to airport security i mean just as 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 scumbag these are going. really. really really big like you know who are not your peers i once again say i didn't even know what i do so i just i just i guess i responding for somebody who committed a financial crime is just like totally bogus not to mention that the task force that busted him was international where can he go but where you know why you're so eager to pat down camped out there are lots of that's going to really want to know i do say he's not going anywhere the hope in the state we'll take a hard time reading about you guys. thanks for joining and i've actually come back tomorrow lou in a sense from cato is going to be on to discuss the latest news. in the meantime don't forget to become a fan of your show on facebook and follow us on twitter as anything you ever miss

you can find it always to the. feel under sail and coming up next is the news. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so for life you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. of. me me me me me me. me. me me me. me.
