2:31 pm
reporting this hour the head of the international monetary fund issues a warning of a scale iraq adding poil prices in the wake of tensions in the middle east adding that disruptions to iranian crude supplies could destabilize the global economy. part of the stories in full in half an hour from now meantime back to washington for part two of the. all right so looks like the federal reserve think of being everybody's punching bag and they're coming out with a full social media campaign to show you the softer more communicative side by bernanke so they've decided to take on twitter with the name at federal reserve and ben bernanke he is so himself going to be hosting online lectures with the hope of indoctrinating the college crowd it in his line of thinking so of course we just couldn't help but imagine what the fed social outreach would look like and alone to show dreamworld if other government accounts are any indication i think they might
2:32 pm
actually prove to be better than we can even imagine it but only time will tell so in the mean time this is how we have matching the federal reserve's presence on twitter and obviously the federal reserve wants to see relatable they're going to have to come up with a cool abby for bernanke b. but the fed is new at this you would obviously be if he was behind trying to ride the playing weight and like anybody just getting their feet wet with twitter the fed is sure to be obsessed with hashtags like this tweet for example make if they miss hash tag twenty two well if you've got to get a little company play or you can or maybe would get updates about printing things and lissa tends to stand a court fight another subpoena today not all information is beneficial and yet that hash tag is actually one of our favorite real he quotes because what's more transparent than being open about your attempts to dodge talking while under oath or made their tweets reveal so i'm bringing more personal thoughts perhaps on all the secret loans of the fed gave out it's a it was for your own good hashtags secret loans hash tag idiots i think going to
2:33 pm
bed might want to lay off the hashtags they can be a little bit too revealing so let's move on to the next week there are no hashtags there it should be say cats love our new table game sadly game take it out cat versus ball and i figure you can't go wrong with cats on the internet so let's see what you came up with. for sure i don't think about going to go over too well with ron paul's internet army but maybe he will win some of them over with this next one this week's lecture from then to you hash tag line or meltdown oh alright now we've got to see this right. oh. oh. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.
2:34 pm
but. it's. really. well to do these really really. certainly going to get a lot of shares but i don't think they're one of the fed was hoping for maybe a little time in created viber nagy will be better you know like the order work means or funny what i think i do. actually know not better according to bernie he everybody thinks that he's throwing money away and he actually is throwing money away ok back to reality breaking the fed obviously didn't actually to eat any of that but the fed really has to in the twitter verse and he really is doing video
2:35 pm
lectures and he really does seem to be targeting ron paul for his lecture bringing he tackled the gold standard and hard part of reiki is joining the social media game a little bit late if you ask me so it can be interesting to see how the fed chairman aims to be cool and transparent in today's world. well we have a few economic stories to look into today aside from the federal reserve's attempts to be cool and join twitter all jokes aside what to talk about in his first college series lecture also another x. goldman employees come out attacking the firm you crying your former colleagues as commercial animals and jerks and laying out how she saw the culture of the firm change and her time there since one nine hundred eighty eight and then i met director christine lagarde had some friendly positive words for the outlook of the global economy if you consider saying that we move back from the abyss to something that's positive so how do we tie it all together well joining me to discuss it is anthony director of economic research for the reason foundation and thanks so much for being here tonight or we wouldn't think of our right to join you. yeah i missed
2:36 pm
one of least one of the references but i like i like the coney reference and i think i think the paul fans will like the. i was it was pretty i'm hoping people don't have to leave britney alone that you know all of you and her play hard trying work it was really you know i don't get it. but all jokes aside i mean what do you think about this kind of a little funny that the federal reserve suddenly wants to join twitter as part of their have to be more transparent and you know what i don't know this is this is part of a much longer term i mean the first thing they did was they started hosting press conferences after the f.l. and see meetings and that was that was a first step to trying to build a more transparent the forepart lecture series at george washington university as part of their attempt to speak to the college crowd and you could see even in the speech today there was his lecture today where he focused for about five minutes on the gold standard and why it's a terrible idea which no one would expect him to do unless he's going specifically
2:37 pm
after the college called ron paul but it's i think it's it's interesting that the fed cares. if it's a good thing a professor cares right or or another because they're supposed to be independent which one is it right the this is a different thread and respect for it it's you know when before the crisis. everybody has a fed an independent body friends and friends a new kind of body i don't really think you're hearing anybody say that right now i'm certainly not saying that anymore you're basically another arm of the government and they are trying to tap into. obama's appeal to the youth and shoot to use the intro webs for all of their worth in this sense because the fed is pretty unpopular at the moment yes especially after the bailout. is not that popular i think the latest boy said he had like twenty six percent approval rating which is a very high does he figure that he still gets the youth while he can that maybe people are looking at
2:38 pm
a different leader out starting dr nader college again this is the very least says something about ron paul that he feels like he has to speak to you so you can write or still write like all of a sudden you know the war of monetary policy is now you know amongst the twenty somethings in college or university where you know ten years ago no one on a college campus even knew that the federal reserve existed i mean that that's something maybe about ron paul in and of itself i like it what else do you think about his older use of here's the interesting thing about his about his lecture the he focused a lot on you know the gold standard the end of a speech that's just getting a lot of the press. in the middle of his speech really the bulk of his speech was this is all setting up this is a series on you know why the photos are basically and he talked with a lot of high praise about the private sector before the federal reserve about how we did need a public reserve and he kind of this whole big picture about how there's really no reason for the reserve up until the early part of the ninety's hundreds and then he just spun on a dime in but then there was just too much volatility and now we need
2:39 pm
a full reserve and he didn't make his case and i think that's going to be one of the the new stories that you're going to see over the next week is. you know ben bernanke you know to sort of address her name he is going to have to adjust his circle have to respond all the criticism of his first lecture and no other college professor probably is going to do that he didn't he didn't make a very persuasive case interesting but if we do want to talk about the private sector and what's going on there we've seen a lot of we saw greg smith come out and write this op ed in the new york times to take down kaufman sacks and now we see another person doing it or is her name i had it written i don't know if that's the word thank you jacki that are going to go jacki better because i don't know if you want to call the whistleblowers or i mean i guess craig smith was still working there that day or it was just the last day that he was leaving but both of these people claim that the culture has drastically changed that goldman sachs even you know for the most part just in the last twenty . or twenty years if they've been there we spoke to somebody the other day that
2:40 pm
said no it's not change this is how it's always been one hundred something years ago and that has been around and always been a culture about making a profit but i i don't think that the finance assure history has changed that much wall street has always been and financial issues always been and pretty much every company that's out there is always been about making money that's the incentive that drives almost everything that's what drives almost every single one of us a lot of our jobs you know you need money. to to survive what's possibly has changed is the sort of the internal attitude towards cars. commercial customer service for a lot of financial companies is not necessarily out of like the goodness of their hearts it's out of well if we have good customer service we can get more customers and for goldman which for years and decades and decades was not the big kid on the block actually had to really pay attention to customer service to be able to get customers only in the past fifteen or so years has goldman become so big that it
2:41 pm
hasn't had to pay as much attention to that because they're going to get clients anyway because they're really good at what they do that that would be the only place where their problem may be some sort of like it's an internal and external change i mean it was not really a change it was actually wrote i mean i think actually i spread out a few things that maybe have made it easier to become a little more crap and talk about class eagle i thought what happens when you create all these talks that you know that you then want to sell and the idea she says clients have become so much larger that maybe it makes the banks a little more secretive to sometimes they get paid by the clients on this point i don't know i really don't think she's tapping into anything unique financial history every every financial institution breaks the law everything dozens of laws if not more every day that's that shouldn't be news i think that might be news to to a lot of america but that really shouldn't be news this happens you know the reasons for it people have all kinds of debate but there's going to be running there's going to be. manipulation of stock prices that that is that's not something new
2:42 pm
that's not something that will create it but maybe something that you know there's a correlation from when she started working there she saw something happen but you ask anybody that's honest no tell you this is something that happens at almost every firm and it's not something that's changed since ninety nine but i mean and that's you know i guess a part of the discussion about this too since these op eds i think coming out people about timing is it just shows you how much though that the culture needs to change from within and because you guys are just going to try to game the system and gave the rules and regulations it's good to have a conversation it's great to have a town that's. best part about what she wrote about the new approach of the op is that we need to be having more this conversation about the responses is it more rules will mean we're breaking lots of rules that we have in the first place is it more effective regulators probably so what's the problem with the regulators well they're largely captured by the industry basis are looking everywhere which is good and you know we're running out of time but apparently we're away from the abyss according to christine legarde so i guess i should make us feel
2:43 pm
a little watch out for the others on the other side you know we've got to get away from this abyss but it's not a positive outlook a little economy going forward i asked me thanks so much. i'll still to come tonight when governor doesn't think the drug testing welfare recipients went far enough and i want to take that test all faith employees and the details until time and on top of happy hour the obama's really don't like the media talking about the first daughters and one thing this website has come up with a creative way to avoid being shut down by the copyright. issue is that so much there's a huge music. on the market is the syrian civil war crimes on calls for an outside military intervention growing louder and louder while at the same time there is. were the end of the boer war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared. in the risk is not zero that something
2:44 pm
might be going off by mistake special it sounds a little nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. because of the difference to do it in a desert through it all as an accurate record you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars a year on weapons adventure you're going to blow everybody up you could you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see if people don't wake up to nuclear weapons or build the new. that represents all the firepower of the second world war and this second sound is the equivalent firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal today. the.
2:45 pm
2:46 pm
our guys it's time for our tool time award and tonight forgive me it's one of the least liked governors in the country rick scott doesn't have the best reputation with his fellow floridians and bad local news outlets were genuinely surprised when his approval rating went up from twenty six percent to thirty eight percent in january now of the many reasons that his approval so low is because he signed a mandate last year to require all welfare recipients to submit to regular drug tests to cure magine that was met with a lot outcry but to make matters even worse first got it turns out that only two percent of those who submitted the drugs actually came back positive ninety six percent of those on welfare came back clean and there was two percent for which
2:47 pm
they couldn't exactly get results now looks like better for backfire and it didn't help that the media dug up this interesting little tidbit that scott actually co-founded an urgent care chain which specializes in drug testing conflict of interest anybody i would surely have thought of this measure with at least helping benefit his bottom line but there's like a great some reason pointed out to us last year that testing policy ended up costing the states quite a bit of money. if you think roughly between five and ten percent of people failing and the other ninety five to ninety percent passing and then having to get reimbursed you're looking at an extra two million to four million dollars the state will have to pay for reimbursing urine tests that's and that's just the money for the test there's also the checks just now there's also the workers in the part of families whose job it is going to be to screen fifty thousand and ninety thousand urine tests. i've got the actions thirdly put him in the national spotlight even the daily show couldn't help but rob the governor about his mandate. since one
2:48 pm
thousand six. hundred dollars a year people. into this. flow told piers and you're going. to put his arms are there for you because the most. should go for the explorer. are looks as if the absurdity of his program is actually lost on rick because in truth rick scott ashjian as not changing a policy he's expanded it deciding to extend the drug testing mandate to state employees too and a bill to be signed quietly after hours scott approved the measure which would allow agencies to conduct random drug testing of employees every three months however they can only test ten percent of the total workforce and the agencies would have to use a computer system when it comes to choosing who it is that gets tested oh and we should know if a state worker test positive management is allowed to fire them based on the results and here's the icing on the cake elected officials are exempt so that means
2:49 pm
that rick scott will pretty neat about peak up after all according to the miami herald state lawmaker jimmy smith including politicians would be political theater i went on to say that it was found to be unconstitutional to drug test elected officials because it prevents us as citizens from having that first amendment right the lawmakers that are protected by the courts from random drug testing have no problems subjecting other government employees to it and i wonder why scott waited until after hours to quietly and his craziness perhaps he even knows that making a law like this is just complete b.s. now the governor is joined by the state g.o.p. who believe that these new drug testing policies are an invasion of privacy but rather they're just following in the footsteps of the private sector just so kind of the governor to worry about the substance abuse in the state but i'm going to join with the a.c.l.u. with labor unions anybody was common sense and saying if this is absolutely ridiculous how can a policy with random drug testing based on no suspicion of violate the rights of state employees and let's look at scott's policies. as
2:50 pm
a whole when we implemented the testing for welfare recipients he was hoping to prove that there was a correlation between the poor and drug use at which he failed or rather than backtracking when he learned the hard way that that wasn't the case he was fellow republicans was moved full speed ahead let's just drug test the whole goddamn states except of course the people who actually helped make this bill into a law a lot of people are suspecting that this bill is going to end up on the supreme court docket someday but let me say i'm going to give rick scott tonight's tilt on award. hi guys it's time for happy hour and joining me this evening are lauren lyster host of the capital account here on r.t. and anthony randolph though director of economic research for the reason foundation hello alone. talk about the pirate bay shall we they're always in the new they have
2:51 pm
there's a lot of hate towards pirate bay just a quick. now the pirate face is facing shocked the local entertainment industry is celebrating a victory they said the site was media directory and none of the illegal downloads were actually stored on its computers. so the pirate bay is constantly boiled in legal troubles to try to stay afloat and so this is their newest idea is that they're going to experiment with small airborne drones that will redirect the user traffic to a secret location and they think that way their employer machines are going to be shut down with airplanes in order to shut down the system a real act of war. i like and yes even u.s. authorities are after them so they're playing their own us their i mean we airspace over a certain country that still has laws that apply to the u.s. does let's turn program i mean. i think it's it's fascinating how you can really cover the weird thing though is that they think that if they get shot down it's an
2:52 pm
act of war i would like to see them fight back they're not real patriots. here. yeah i think it's a nice idea but i don't foresee i don't think about actually getting that down it does make as it does make an interesting legal case not because they are not physically on the soil but it's not clear. that you know the new legal challenges we face every day are on returns the drones any fall over its soil hopefully you know there drones will fall on their own servers. that would definitely be. one of the back story. my take on this is you know we have a growing population of people that aren't religious in the us the a.v.s. population is growing and so if you really want to just try to expand religious freedom try to get to understand each other i think there are more mature ways of going about it but what's happening here on this highway in polk county florida
2:53 pm
take a look. we could show be destroyed that's how in thirty seven it from where under this grand last year the road. so this here the atheists are going to wash it off. i mean really the religious here decided to bless the piece of the highway and they have to go wash it off with i don't hold the water my seat on this a little i'm like yours i know i've said this before and i'll say it again it's just yet another case where everything we're in happens in florida i'm so south carolina has got a lot of really weird release over. this story. for another back to back to florida are to the atheist legitimize in this why do they care what i'm saying is going to let people write like you're really going to take all your time to go wash up the pool but i wonder if you're an atheist this doesn't matter there's no blessing it's there's no there's no
2:54 pm
difference if you want to why would you you know because you're destroying some of the pride blessed like everything i think the best part of the story that was after they washed away the christians who spread the holy water prayed that the but the u.s. would be arrested or kicked out of polk county and the head of the story was asian that did this has been arrested twice for like lewd conduct. like for like pretending to be a lawyer you know as weird as christians who do all that weird behavior that seems very counter i think that they could preach i think that's absolute secular. why do you think you are really not laura's very very good revenge on either side trying to use oil instead of i thought it was me holy water. oil you know it's. a little thirteen every day exactly. this next story basically we just like to make and really awkward every time he comes on the show so we're going to talk about vagina and. fives through all the recent crazy legislation that we've been seeing
2:55 pm
brought up in states right that we've also seen come up in the federal government there is. going behind government jay-jay they want people to need a vagina and then send it to their representatives just. like that one of the right . thing or crochet of a giant her uterus printed message to enclose mail it to your mail senator congressional representative and then they're in the process of arranging hand delivery to be aggression offices in washington until then you can just mail it in but i really hope with all these offices just are being flooded with needed vagina a little do you think they're going to open up for the messages. you know they are such good ones you can put it there are there are plenty of amateur congressional staffers. i guarantee it so what would you say in your vagina i think stand a mighty china. that is that is something that should be clipped internet please
2:56 pm
take this and run with this. perfect statement to put your videos however what you said was actually the purpose they can recover after that wait for what the a lot of. youtube viewers are going to be when he died all of his video is going to be deadly well you can write. down my only little girls who are doing very much. to our last story here which is that. revolves around the first daughters we we're obama actually mention them quite a bit it's usually kind of a little like morning we think alike the jonas brothers are here. somewhere so. huge hits. but boys don't get any idea it's own so. this is the only it is a parks and recreation thing. so having us is here is the only thing she thinks
2:57 pm
is work. hard to leave on vacation in mexico right now she just happens to have twenty five secret service agents with her keeping her safe and this is just what i like we have time for the quick break santorum is pissed of basically saying that because the obama administration recently declared certain areas unsafe for americans but this is a really bad example and he should be sending a leader to mexico what does the administration do the president's actions should reflect what is at ministration. and you know if the administration is saying it's not safe to have people down there just because you can turn twenty five secret service agents are there you should do it you should. be careful and aggressive presence through a certain camp or are you got to hear it anyway real quick i thought the studio looked pretty cool but my point is what is it that ministration does not piss off.
2:58 pm
andrew and try taking that rationale back to your teenage daughter who really wants to go to mexico. not. thanks for joining me tonight i got to wrap it up that's a pretty night show thanks for tuning in make me come back tomorrow for just because a muslim journalist who defends the n.y.p.d. surveillance program i mean timing our follow us on line on twitter on facebook you can catch everything on you tube and coming up thanks jason. fewer chances but full of life. limited time. more optimistic. the theater where the ingenious
