it and keeping people locked up and the money making enterprise is going to get more lucrative for example pairing of a young turk about a leak presentation to investors but a correction corporation of america the largest for profit prisons. you don't see a story. you think you understand it and then. you saw the part of it and realized everything you. are welcome to the think.

i'm mr. up in the lower so you'll get a real headlights look not. the problem with the mainstream media today is that they're completely disconnected from the viewers and for what actually matters to those viewers and so that's why young people just don't watch t.v. if they want news they go online and read it but we're trying to take those stories that people actually care about and transfer them back in t.v. . is the state. speaking russian channel it's kind of like.

russia today has an extremely confrontational stance when it comes to us. our guys it's time for you said it i read it i take time to respond to my brilliance and engaging viewer comments from facebook twitter and you tube for me to say i listen now on monday i dedicate my opening mainstream this segment to the sixteen victims of the massacre in afghanistan taking time to read the name of each victim. spoke about the need for the media to talk not only about the man accused but to care about those whose lives he and it were a lot of positive feedback from our viewers on this forty four products that are

you q thank you for respecting those tragically murdered and a loved one suffering the horrific loss. that on facebook i was shocked to see alone to get the names of those victims after all they are people too i met them. treats them like that just takes all they're worried about is a tabloid aspect of this story a rogue soldier killing innocent civilians makes their day and makes good copy then ernest welker said on facebook excellent take on the perception gate i'm fortunate victims are not a collection of numbers after all they're not numbers they're people for the journey alone a show will continue to cover them such a next on move on to something a little more lighthearted last night we joked on the show about ben bernanke is a chance to win over the american people through social media and so we had a little fun with the story you know coming up with some tweets of our own that we think that he might send out but our viewers had a few ideas too bamboo for dave here you wrote on facebook i said we're doing god's work never said which god hash tag hail satan learner learn said we print fake

money you think it's real that's the best way to enslave and steal hash tag bend be honest you kind of been there now think we are viewers are much more kind of our very own jenny churchill looks more tweet about it at below show i noticed a distinct lack of jenny c. on today's show all alone it was always outstanding jenny c. is dreamy and awesome so i'm so very sorry for jenny's absence on last night's show but i just did news for you jenny is going to be back on happy hour tonight but that my ranting this big probably back with more as usual next week. now ben bernanke is taking to the podium to defend the actions of the fed to educate americans about the many follies of the gold standard one branch of the fed is a decidedly different message for america at its times of break up the big banks now i know that's not cheap i wall street it's not a wall street whistle blower this is a branch of the federal reserve itself

a letter introducing the annual report which advocated the breakup was written by the president of the dallas federal reserve richard fisher was a wise and fall over of business insider characterizes as one of the most hawkish and conservative presidents out there and he starts a letter out with a bank announcing to readers if you are one of the too big to fail banks alternatively you known as systematically important financial institutions or die by i doubt you are going to like what you read in this annual report you probably also won't like it if your job frank supports a letter rate dodd frank does not eradicate t.v. t.f.t. big to fail indeed it is our view of the doubts that it may actually perpetrate perpetuate an already dangerous trend of increasing banking industry concentration and the numbers certainly show a massive increase in the power of the big banks by big banks and one hundred seventy the top five banks controlled seventeen percent of industry assets before only four years and the top five banks control it to two percent now the report

goes on to characterize the too big to fail banks as the culprit and that define the financial crisis the reason for the lackluster recovery and the coup de gras a perversion of capitalism defecting blame deflecting if you can blame for the economy from the fed directly to the baby boom self now the dow fed thinks there's a crisis of faith in capital think that capitalism requires the freedom to succeed and the freedom to fail capitalism requires government to enforce the rule of law and capitalism requires businesses and individuals beholden. countable for the consequences of their actions are all fairly obvious points so what is the dallas fed anecdotes or answer to this crisis you might ask oh you know just a little dose of creative destruction which they advocate for quite poetically by quoting economist alan meltzer think capitalism without failure is like religion without saying now a lot of deflect almost all the blame for the slow recovery from the fed and with

the directly on the banks and why i think the fed also deserves their fair share of blame the fact that a branch is openly calling for a breakup of the banks kind of a breath of fresh air and something that i can guarantee we will not be hearing and one of ben bernanke these lectures any time. now he's spoken a lot about for profit prisons on his show from lobbying states to pass treats immigration legislation for a reason offered a forty eight states to sell their public presence on exchange for twenty year contracts and a ninety percent capacity guarantee guarantee so it's a money making industry that's on the right and this month we've got a new glance into the mind of corrections corporation of america the largest for profit prison company in the slideshow intended for investors c.c.a. described why this is a market that you'd want to think your money into a seventy four billion dollar industry at the moment is only ten percent privatized now the statistics they show are scary and because they're true one graph shows

a historically despite economic conditions in their populations have grown another looking at demographic trends points out that one in every one hundred adults in the us are in prison or jail for recidivism rates are high and it's a population grows so does the number of inmates and finally just one more page of the fifty three page presentation show that c.c.a. believes the demand from federal agencies will only increase in the years to come because it's not a scary reminder that locking people up in this country making some people rich joining me to discuss it is an experience co-host of the young turks and the. so much for joining us tonight and this is a topic that you and i have spoken about so many times before but there's always just another dirty piece of information getting thrown out there so you know after looking at this presentation that the cia gave to the investors what are your thoughts you know what really stood out to you. i was really disgusted about it because they are basically banking on the destruction of the country in order for

them to profit keep in mind that they are the one wishing the tough on crime laws that imprison nonviolent offenders and also keep in mind that they are telling the investors that during an economic downturn they are going to make more money because during economic downturns you see more crime because they're like hey a bad economy you need but you're going to make more money so don't worry about it in both of us so you know their incentive izing all of the negative things in society put more people away even if they're nonviolent a whole or about economy you're going to make more money and also keep in mind that they're not funded privately of course in of these for profit prisons are funded privately however this bill gives money under the thought that the state is actually saving money that's not the reality at all in many cases face losing money because they're funding these for profit prisons. i mean can you think of it you know if you if you go through when you really look at this presentation all of it is touching out how don't worry about economic downturns because it's going to keep

on growing don't worry because the demand for more beds in the prisons of going to keep on growing the demand coming from the government is just going to keep on growing how many other industries are there out there do you think that can almost guarantee the growth to their investors. not very many and that's why this is a very lucrative business and the fact that they are asking forty eight states to sell their state prisons to that so they can manage it is a really scary thought however there is a tiny piece of good news in this because what you're seeing is in states like california believe it or not texas georgia they have actually denied c.c.s. big to purchase these state prisons so that's actually a really good piece of news it means that you know at least a few states how their standards well who knows what's going to happen with the others that have been offered the same thing but you know it's already had a really horrible implications in the country so far you look at arizona and seventy the for profit prisons played

a huge role in question for that legislation and they were successful and the reason why they did that is because they want to put more and more people behind bars you know if you really look into the statistics it's amazing out of every one hundred people in the united states one person is behind bars i mean we have more people behind bars in this country than any other country in the world and that's a scary. where you know i'm happy brought up to this deal with this case which there are some states that have rejected it thus far but that in the case of ohio. ohio actually did sell a prison to c.c.a. but c.c.a. wanted five of them and they only got one because in communities the local activists got involved and people actually said no so i think that we can take that as a little bit of a grain of hope as well and then you know the really banking on ice immigrations and customs enforcement being a big customer of theirs in the future as the as they start thinking that you know the more strict immigration laws passed around the country then the more people

we're going to have locked up and but do you think that there's you know what's going to happen in their plan b. for oil if these immigration laws don't go through you know if if the courts actually turn them down if let's say after this coming election we see a change in legislatures. the only way that their plans can be boiled is if we do real campaign finance reform because what's happening with these for profit prisons like c.c.a. as a specific example between two thousand and three and two thousand and six they donated three million dollars to lawmakers in order to push their agenda and look money talks and regardless of how we vote and regardless of what you know occupy wall street can do politicians are going to listen to that they're going to listen to the amount of money that's getting thrown in their pockets so unless we get real campaign finance reform nothing is going to change and also keep in mind that these for profit prisons have their eyes on two different groups of people undocumented immigrants i'd also those who are using drugs right nonviolent drug offenders back

in the one nine hundred eighty s. you saw this huge boom with for profit prisons and the reason why is because the government became even tougher on drug violations they started putting more and more people away all these prisons were over capacity and for profit prisons were like hey you know what this is a great way to make some money why don't we create our prisons and help the states by putting these nonviolent drug offenders away the drug war isn't going to end anytime soon so as a result of that these corps profit prisons are always going to matter what going to our way of making money so that's another disastrous aspect of it the war on drugs a whole nother story that we need to focus on but it's lucrative and look i think that there were evil people because they're like i said rooting for the demise of this country but at the same time you know they're fueled by greed and if they're going to make money they're going to do it any way they can regardless of how horrible the process is. yeah i mean it's

a business and when you look at the slides it makes sense and it's taken sad that they want to make a business off of locking people up they are right there is you know a lot of it we have to talk about in terms of lawmakers pushing this tough on crime and tough on drugs legislation thanks to all the money that's out there but you know even when we talk about attitudes amongst people and this desire for punishment i think. we also have to be honest with ourselves and see what that's leading to and i think so much for joining us tonight thank you alona. all right time for our last break and we come back extends his war on food to the homeless so when our full time award not happy hour president obama is on the keystone pipeline and ron paul says that using a secret service detail is taking government well there was. a story. you know. part of it.

was a big. blow to the. nothing to be around to tell you that the real headline not. the problem with the mainstream media today is that they're completely disconnected from the viewers and

from what actually matters to those viewers and so that's why young people just don't watch t.v. if they want news they go online and read it but we're trying to take those stories that people actually care about and transfer them back to t.v. . r t is the state run english speaking russian channel it's kind of like al-jazeera . and. russia today has an extremely confrontational stance when it comes to us.

our guys it's time for tonight's tool time award and so i went to new york city mayor michael bloomberg not so secret a bloomberg has waged a full on war against who. i've read labels for the calories more so than the salt sodium content i will admit whether it's helps my waistline is datable with wind up with a lot less sodium in the food what we eat is really crucial to our health and our government sent us must make healthy solutions social. i have recently bloomberg found a new a demographic force his food regulations on the homeless and now look i get it there's a very real obesity epidemic in america people are shoving their faces with food eating themselves to death it's hard it's incredibly hard to get access to healthy food but don't you think it is kind a little too far but we're trying to monitor the sodium intake of the people who

live their lives on the streets never knowing where their next meal is coming from now apparently bloomberg is a bully think that if you fart new regulations in new york ban the donation of food to homeless shelters and you heard that right it is now illegal for churches and other businesses to donate leftover food to people that are homeless and hungry and the regulation was discovered when a man trying to donate leftover bagels from synagogues in the area to a local shelter and was told it is food it was not want to have a man of in taking leftover food to the shelters for over ten years so what mayor michael bloomberg had to say for himself when he was confronted about this new regulation. for the things that we run because of all sorts of safety reasons we just have a policy of trying to standing not taking donations. they just got a policy of not taking donations because we're trying to distance themselves anymore now i guess if you want i didn't want he didn't want us to get the

impression it was an extension of his war on food but unfortunately for bloomberg the city's own department of home home with services commissioner basically explained this new policy as an extension of bloomberg foreign food he says the regulation is consistent with bloomberg emphasis on improving nutrition for all new yorkers and regulation is that if the shelves were to access the salt fiber other nutritional content of food and that was must be turned away now if you ask me this is just beyond insane we look at it this way we have no decency epidemic in this country and it needs to be fought and it needs to be confronted i applaud the efforts out there to get more nutritious food into our schools into our stores into our bodies and we also have an epidemic of poverty and homelessness the rates of been rising drastically in the last few years you can't as lump them all into one let's solve hunger before we start controlling what it is that those who have no money to buy any food can eat and i really feel like with this of bluebirds maybe

just getting lazy maybe it's just too much worth trying to take on people who have the ability to fight back so you just decided to micromanage the diets of one group that doesn't have anything but you're the homeless it's pathetic and it's not the first time that we've heard of targeted the homeless population of new york last year you try to put a lot of plays that would force almost people to prove that they had no other option before being admitted to a shelter at the homeless shelters in new york city was such a coveted getaway destination and last month a judge struck down that law so i guess that since bloomberg can keep the home most of their cushy dig he has food police are settling for controlling the serving size salt content in the calorie count of the food they put in their mouths so they're saying no big deal for you for the homeless new york city mayor michael bloomberg is tonight's tools where.

hi guys it's time for a happy hour and joining me this evening our producer jenny churchill and jake were chivas strategy officer and vision strategy there's going to be guys during q ok let's start with this one i just find it crazy but apparently it's happening in more than one place employers asking for your facebook password to be like. county sheriff's department is one of many employers that absolutely look at the social media sites of job candidates during background checks and may have you log in during the actual interview to check on those let's say eight hundred contacts and about seven hundred one of their friends posted a picture of a pot plant. you know or a bag of pot and you see where that's not appropriate in the well first in the field. i know you know me but. people space i mean these are the people are checking you know your facebook profiles before you

apply for a job that doesn't require privacy violation if you ask me that's like saying can you sign your g.-mail really quick and i can look through everything like you know that's been written to you can you bring me your home video recorder and show me any tapes you've ever made i don't know i think of an h.r. manager asks you for your facebook password you should say you know what absolutely i will do it as soon as you give me the bank account number and routing number to this firm and you have full access to my face and so that's not actually not even necessary to some poking around and then i found out that it is against facebook's terms and conditions to give anyone your password or access to your account you know those crazy terms like sessions no one really you know that's right but no i mean that's that's actually like written in print on their terms and conditions you can just say you know i'd love to unfortunately i read all the terms and conditions for all the websites. but unfortunately no one actually ever reads all the terms and conditions and if you really need a job with an hour you would necessarily in a position to say like you know like go shove it because this is a violation of my privacy i will find will find plenty of other candidates and i'm

going to do it the whole point is that is being challenged in court i hope is the last time we're smart about this and immediately. know this one is the creepy creepy thing about how i get attached we're getting to our phones nokia filed for. take i think we have a news clips explaining it oh just kidding we. not. so brave so they filed a patent that basically proposes creating a vibrator had to design that would well it would break every time i guess you get a phone call or text message but i just don't even understand. i actually think if you follow guys like ray kurzweil if you have any kind of understanding of the exponential curve that technology and biology are kind of how they're merging how they're converging and and what's happening here i actually think we're not very far away from this being more normal than it is weird and scary yes i find it creepy because it's kind of become yourself

a normal if you're going to attach i phone to my body i want to be like implanted in my head and contact lenses i can just go about my business i want to get a stupid tattoo to vibrate like my phone vibrates thank you oh that's done that's what i'm saying we're going to gather that so i have to be a rabbit tied to this sounds ridiculous only wrong i find it creepy and stupid like . i did it to hand out a function very well they. want to hear it will be like oh i'm surprised you don't have the attitude for your vibrating own thing or whatever but i think that's one thing i know you're able to be like people with. trouble right away. like. you know yelling a whole group of the right if you still want to raise or we're sorry. let's talk about. because i don't know about you guys but i'm pretty sure that we all kind of grew up on these movies and they were and say here's a little lighter for everybody.

ok so my god they want to come in do a new turtle thing and he wants to turn them into aliens and the plot and this is causing like a total uproar not only. on lying and people are saying in a letter open letter to michael bay because i was basically the rape of our childhood memories continues people are saying that he's saddam izing the franchise by forcibly inserting his own interpretation breastplate penetrating it with his alien angle while. they want to protect our collective original in his business. regional movie while there's there's little that makes me

more uncomfortable than hearing the words rape and just rolls in the same sentence and i'm feeling really awkward right now but i do think michael b. should be stopped and he should be stopped and the only way we can solve the mystery. of this movie is when you get on when we're going to feel like four hundred hours a day and anyway i'm going to everybody's bait that's going to go like that i just will continue and will have to do that they're going to hold new their ration now he's going to do that under you have zero that really really. was actually want to go see an inch turtles movie are the people who love the ninja turtles already and he's ruining it for those people and i think it's pathetic that they can't come up with new movies and hollywood put clearly they really want to have him being. sidelined knowing it the writers. really means that organizations that's a little little mice with more nicely worded them out. yeah obviously it's never a good thing when someone you know talks about a movie and reference to a rave that's never a good resume all right let's just finish that paul was on jay leno last night

talking about the secret for kicks. with the secret service code names i think the secret service named for romney with javelin santorum as image was put to what would i know you don't have secret service it was your what would your secret service called me be a bulldog bulldog. let me extend you know why did you reject the secret service protection seems like that. it's a form of welfare you know you're having to change there's pay to take care of somebody i'm an ordinary citizen and i would think i should pay for my own protection. but i mean what do you think should the taxpayers have to pay until you get elected i got the paper i agree with you there i don't want any of my taxpayer money going to anything rick santorum is doing an effort anyway i think that ron paul knows that he is like obi wan kenobi and if he is struck down he will become more powerful than we can possibly imagine and he knows his ideas will live on in

martyrdom and i think that's really maybe my plan and it will be the ideas are no they are really about it and that makes a very good night that's a good night so thanks for tuning in come back tomorrow that you know is going to be on in the meantime you know where to find a phone line on facebook on twitter and you tube and coming up next. mission and free the sacred intake should free zones for churches priests arrangements three lists priests to priests the old free lunch chancellor video for your media projects a free media oh god to our teeth on tom. slug
