to the. you know there's a real headline if not. the problem with the mainstream media today is that they're completely disconnected from the viewers from what actually matters to those viewers and so that's why don't people just don't watch t.v. if they want news they go online and read it and we're trying to take the stories that people actually care about and transfer them back to t.v. . is the state run english speaking russian channel it's kind of like.
10:32 pm
russia today has an extremely confrontational stance when it comes to us. i'm on the streets of d.c. to tell people in the nation's capital what our viewers had to say on twitter facebook and you tube and see which comments we should keep or delete. do you know who it jim that young. i don't. think green guy wait i think he's. scuse me do you guys have it i guess. south korea president obama nominated him to be the head of the world bank and he's also the president of dartmouth college mike jones wrote in to say that hillary clinton wants a job so do you think that she would be
10:33 pm
a better choice if you want to keep it or delete it. she's like a famous girl like. her so i feel good for him but. i can't say i agree with everything about her but i mean others are the kid is so i can't really compare i love hillary but i don't know about the world the position kerry told us that no matter who is nominated the world bank is a corrupt organization that takes advantage of poor nations do you think we should keep or delete them. i have no idea if she will keep it or delete it. the world as you can see it's fully integrated so people are always saying something in public but when it comes in and this should give them things that don base wrote in to tell us it's time for america to let someone else run the world bank maybe someone from a developing country do you want to keep that comment or delete it now i would i
10:34 pm
would delete that because i believe it does need to stay with us i think we should keep it. with the policies of the obama administration our financial industry is suffering greatly and and and it's in question is for the weak and it's really. hard so that was us trying to find out what you guys think of obama's nominee to be the next president of the world bank we asked you for your predictions whether you think that he might actually change the tradition of being an american looks like most people just weren't really sure what the world bank or who the nominees were but thank you for your responses as usual and here's our next question for you earlier in the show we spoke about the impact of occupy wall street movement which has been declared all the dead by the media a lot of people are as are promising a resurgence so do you think we're going to see an occupy wall street style american spring let us know you think on facebook twitter and you tube and you know the response just might make their money. well the f.t.c.
10:35 pm
is calling for more internet regulations to protect consumer privacy one hundred and twenty page report that they released yesterday the federal trade commission called on congress to enact legislation to regulate data brokers saying that it would have to give consumers access to the information that's collected about them and allow them to correct and update that data i want comes to the issue of a do not track feature and so the f.t.c. stopped short of calling on congress to force it on the companies and said they applauded the industry for making think progress on its own and warned them that they do expect self-regulation and for them to voluntarily create that option so i mean it seemed kind of straightforward report has critics on all sides so try to break it down see what it could actually mean for us the consumers joining me to discuss a second we call it chief political correspondent or seen at tekken thanks for joining us tonight and so let's break down this report let's first start with whether this is the f.t.c. saying that they would like to see in legislation in terms of regulating data
10:36 pm
brokers who exactly is a data broker and they say that there will be. trade commission would define it because it would be released this hundred twenty page report you figure it somewhere in there they could just get one paragraph or half a page to what it actually is i mean is it a news organization as a contact list is that what you probably expect which is lexis nexis choice point u.s. search those types of companies that have a lot of information about us but aren't currently regulated like credit companies or credit report companies are the f.t.c. didn't define it which i have to believe is intentional and leaving it open ended i just love when they make legislation i guess it's not legislation it's not congress yet but when they make things so vague broad that it's all open for interpretation but the idea of it sounds nice that i can go online i can see what they have about me i could edit it if i wanted to you know in real life. terms though you know i do
10:37 pm
think that there's any problems to that is there any actually legislation on the books yet or that's making its way through that's been written it looks like that well if you look at the history of credit reporting in the united states i mean we've had the fair credit reporting act so about thirty years of history of regulating how credit reporting services work and you hear of course everyone who was a reply or a credit card or a mortgage knows how this work or say doesn't work well i don't have as much access as old like me trying to correct stuff is a is really problematic and so we were down that path i'm not sure if it's going to be the best one on the other hand there are some problems with the current sites that we're talking about the f.t.c. has sort of filed a bunch of lawsuits against them are already in the last three years i think we've seen two lawsuits filed and so i i i'm i'm not saying that nothing needs to be done there's not sure that the f.t.c. is exactly on the right track with this so for one thing i would like this goes back to the previous point like a definition of what we're talking about all right but then you have any idea as to
10:38 pm
what you think of the right track would be something that definitely has americans concerned about so much of their information being gathered out there and then sold to third parties right one approach is what google is doing what twitter is and facebook are moving toward which is giving people who use services a lot of information about what information is being collected i mean if you create an account on a web site you go there frequently buy stuff from among you can see your previous orders on amazon you can see what information google has about you would be nice if more companies did this and i think the internet industry is moving in this direction just moving more slowly than a lot of folks would like to see this isn't part of the data broker point with which we should use it but companies like choice point plan lexis nexis you don't really have much interaction with you with much. actually it was
10:39 pm
a twitter user i want to get back to the google point but first let's talk about this do not track feature which the f.t.c. isn't saying that congress should enforce and we already saw companies like google and other sign on to say that they are going to start offering it voluntarily but at the same time you know can we really trust them to do it as you not track me and does that mean you can track anything you know or do we start seeing it go into little categories. well this is an area where you're sanctioning a lot of innovation you have the w three c. which is the a web standards body moving quickly towards this the major browser manufacturers or palin's or add ons or some ways to implement it and. sort of self-regulatory body for internet advertising has adopted some policies just in the last few months now part of this i'll admit is a way to head off where you lation but it does show that if some smart
10:40 pm
technologists turn their minds to solving a problem they can actually do it the one one ongoing issue is that even definitions of what do not track needs are varying and you saw commissioner roche allude to this and it was a statement that was appended to the end of this report. because some people think that do not track means do not collect anything and some people mean it means opt out so until washington figures out what they mean no then probably regulation and legislation is premature so again we have to wait for washington to figure it out and maybe telling them what we would like it to be you know and there's a lot of people out there they also are saying that do not track wouldn't be the best thing because then you know it might bring ad revenues down i think there is even some really fear mongering stamer that it would completely demolished the internet service but with her end of the time i want to go back to your saying about google you know the fact that they at least tell people what information they
10:41 pm
tattering about them we now see lawsuits in new york and los angeles going after google for this new privacy policy of theirs that they rolled out and they're trying to make these class action lawsuits and they're saying ali is a violation of their previous privacy policies but also violations of federal laws if you think a better case probably not but i mean you're seeing a lot of these class action lawsuits filed against google and facebook and twitter and especially peaceful no going. going public i mean these companies have a lot of money there some especially the google and facebook and so they're just attractive targets for lawsuits and a lot of them are you know you spend a few thousand dollars traffic complaint and maybe you'll get rich and maybe you'll get a million dollar settlement a pretty good return on investment but i think very few of these go anywhere. i become law they saw anything give you an opportunity to opt out don't have any say
10:42 pm
it's stop using their products i mean look at they're doing something wrong the federal trade commission the state attorneys general have been very active in the f.t.c. in the case of actually a whole three companies has settlements with them and google's settlement last year with the buzz said if they do stuff in terms of sharing information extremely they have to get explicit permission from us to merge but if it but if it's you know sharing information internally you know that's that's not covered and i'm not as worried about that as a place where information extremely hard and i think it's going to be a long hard slog to figure all the legislation when they have it i don't think that the debate is going anywhere thanks so much for joining us tonight thank you. so far last break of the evening but coming up some people will take any chance of drug trafficking let's rush i call the rivalry and those hats on actual final word tonight on happy hour with
10:43 pm
a function is hurting from their website and not on tries to drive a wedge between blacks and gays ok. let's not forget that we had in a parked car you can see right through me and. i think. the the in one world. we never got to that shows they're going to say get ready because i'm the freedom. loving the loner so you know there's a real headline with none of them are the problem with the mainstream media today is the. they're completely disconnected from the viewers and what actually matters to those viewers and so that's why young people just don't watch t.v.
10:44 pm
anymore 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. . you know sometimes you see a story and the scene so poorly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here's some other part of it and realized everything you saw you don't i'm sorry it's a big. our
10:45 pm
guys it's time for tonight's top five award and tonight we're going to a specific person or an organization oh this poor plot is going out to everybody out there that's fear mongering a little how it's our hearts out it's the rate of the recent off my conversation between president obama and the day that the media is going crazy over the last twenty four hours over this sex trade agreement two world leaders it was caught on camera.
10:46 pm
all right so there we heard president obama telling russian president dmitry medvedev they'll have more flexibility on missile defense after the election or i was in the most conscious move specially since obama's been caught in hot mike moments before but let's admit it's not necessarily shocking obama's campaign the reset all throughout his presidency and it's pretty common practice that presidents do things during their second term that they might not have power politically viable on they had another election on the horizon especially with an issue as sensitive as missile defense and how the system works and no one is immune beggary politician is simply working towards their next election which is nothing but if nothing new who really gets me is not be easily predictable political response in the right wing the one that points out the obvious and goes see he has great conversations about things that will be able to achieve after getting reelected it's more of the completely out of date outlook on the world who cold war era of fear mongering if you will take out mitt romney's take on the climate if he's
10:47 pm
planning on doing more and suggest to russia that he has things he's willing to do with them he's not willing to tell the american people this is to russia this is without question our number one geopolitical foe they fight every cause for the world's worst actors the idea that he has a more flexibility in mind for russia is very very troubling indeed. oh yes so troubling that the u.s. president would be flexible with the countries we work with on a regular basis on iran or afghanistan of the year when it really is terrified that one nuclear superpower would want to have a working relationship with another nuclear superpower that's mentioned i thought according to all of our military intelligence assessments which fear mongering is the purpose of those it was a wrong and china that are the may pose a bad guys but some people to see that working relationship between russia and the us selling out. we should be called russian.
10:48 pm
yad new things that obama is selling out on missile defense and he actually isn't alone on that front what other little details or what other little off my conversations are are selling out american national security or making big changes in an american military policy. that's right corinna laura ingram obama sold our national security in ten seconds flat pretty impressive if you ask me now following the media firestorm obama felt forced to respond and he basically explained the obvious that his conversation with it was in line with the stance that he's consistently take it which is that he would like to continue negotiations with russia to reduce nuclear stockpiles and to work on missile defense which has been a touchy back and forth issue all along so let's take a listen to the reaction of the fox and friends crew to that statement i want to reduce our nuclear stockpiles and one of the barriers to trust and cooperation around missile defense as you say he says he said this before so it should come as
10:49 pm
no surprise. because there's steve doocy chime in there with the zero call that yes steve i think that we would have if obama gets reelected he would get rid of all of our nuclear weapons every last one in just four years i mean i know i've said of a million times on the show but these people really not know that currently we have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world many times over and will long after obama is out of office and it's sad that i actually have to know the dreaming of a world free of nuclear weapons is a good thing but yes according to these folks we need to keep them all like a foreigner with thousands of pens who can admit that they only need a few to get the job done because that's a totally rational stance now russia has not been silent either president invaded had this to say about romney's number one focus on it. no one. is very old you should.
10:50 pm
see you may have gotten the cold war and they were the collapse of the soviet union at the relationship between the us and russia i was in the process of a reset with the obama presidency but as long as the right is running around making statements like this without question our number one geopolitical foe. that i'd say the relations are about it to be said so for exactly a conversation that really didn't reveal anything within our to go and then using that to create a full on fear mongering reading of the rights cold war hacks our tonight's told time winners. guide it's time for happy hour for you this evening lauren lyster host of the capital account here in our city and comedian growing rates things are joining me thank you so. everyone has heard. this over and over and repeated
10:51 pm
we went after it but one more time if we need to here are all those ridiculous take on the hoodie and the role that it played in trayvon martin's murder. but i am urging good parents of black and latino youngsters particularly to not let their children go out wearing hoodies i think the hoodie is as much responsible for trayvon martin's death as george zimmerman was. absurd but listen to this so does he point out that fox news used to sell on their web site and there it is there it is the fox news sunday and then they claim that the sweatshirt is suddenly vanished and it's no longer available to fox they said the sweatshirt was discontinued in two thousand and ten but the point is no one really. i. mean because what you're actually existed folks is way too
10:52 pm
much of like they want to capitalize on everything i feel like i'm pretty proud of hunger i think they would want to capitalize off of her role they want to free coddling the leading into the old they would be if those were on the website if you like great they're selling like hotcakes this is great i don't think they would have pulled them i think it's a good looking as a guy who wears hooded sweatshirts i think it's very important clearly asking to be killed you know clearly i got here safe i don't know how so you should be under basically it's possible. as you go the worse it is which is not all guys who were disclosures are the same we've been stereotyped for years but we're all very different we're. not going to want to assure her that you're not scared she like what we are like in the streets right you're not suspects but also it's very important that we know that not all guys who have moustaches. already is racist as rule do it's like just want to say on record that he does not speak for us and you know fine but if your mustache disappears we're going to be very wary about your
10:53 pm
comments and we're going to ask yeah i think it's i think it's ridiculous that if. it's people with mustaches you don't point fingers at other people that look suspicious yeah because you know what i want to ask you about laughs houses shouldn't throw on stereotypes the seventy's pornstar mustache let's move on to the next story. we do. that if we can pull it take a look at the. well officials of one colorado city have now cast sold the annual easter egg hunt and they are blaming parents gone wild but hot usually involves children running around a park but organizers say the parents were too pushy at last year's event ruined the event for everyone. so why did not find this shocking parents are so intense these days like i don't remember i think maybe my first easter in america like we would you know i was four years old and i think my parents were trying to help me out because we like woke up early. as
10:54 pm
a little kid i was crying and upset about it understand they want to help but like if you have a better one as an adult though no difference of these adults watching kids as they suck out. there are so incompetent out of they never they're right in front of them and it's very frustrating if you're if you're thinking adult to watch them because you're screwed up and not fully and that's a key point here is these easter egg hunt today aren't even hunt they put a bunch of eggs in the grass how was that a guy in the get it while you can you know there are there is one life every ten in this are awesome eggs to go with these three feet down there are you know if your four year old can a little more difficult totally if your four year old can pick up eggs from grass you have way bigger problems then you know overbearing parents. let's say so the requisite nationals organization for marriage they're the leading opponents of same sex marriage in the country they're all about saving the sanctity of marriage and you know we've seen them put
10:55 pm
out some pretty scary ads. there's a storm gathering clouds are dark and the winds are strong and die you have some gratitude for same sex marriage or two can issue far beyond same sex couples do you want to bring the issue into my mind my freedom will be taken away. you're strong what does that mean there's a storm coming there there is a good parody of made about what to do because it was so absurd but it turns out that. documents internal documents were made public enemy in court yesterday and this is actually what it said the strategic goal of this project is to drive a wedge between gays and blacks two key democratic constituencies that's an internal report on two thousand and eight two thousand campaign is called not a civil right project well you can tell that they were going to be creepy from that
10:56 pm
and it is like not out of character after you see the weird yeah i'll get an ad where they're like clearly there's a story because again you will actually put this in their documents as an organization doesn't shock me that that's the way that they think but you're going to write that down and say our biggest goal of your guys got to make sure the gays in the ghetto will. yeah you know they just have to look at what would jesus do and i think that they'll find the answers to many of the questions that their first modal jesus would be smart enough to maybe put them in a safer drawer or something that's going to get leaked out but it was it when they really were it was public. it was it was a confidential document and i had to be made public in a court of mean it's just stuff i don't know i don't think we have time for this next clip but basically it's technology they're ruining everything for teenagers just listen to the stories of this girl in australia party when her dad is out of town obviously right like any teenager does and her dad who is five hundred miles away decided to check in on his home's energy use with his meter energy monitor
10:57 pm
that is an android and realized like the air conditioning was running at all the lights were on and she got busted. so the lesson in this is that the children of preppers and conservation nasheed not throw parties in their own homes here and i'm on reasonably circle engineers so i guess it would make sense meeting to discuss. i mean new year's eve and teenage daughter like you don't you're not bigger than to figure out that your daughter your girl party you can't you can't leave her alone you know that's a good point and i think there's a business idea in this though you could just rename it now when you know you need like a lot of blocking absolutely kids to block their parents' home you know it's like taking. your eyes of the world very early when everybody's. got a bit of a big for joining me tonight that's a great night so thanks for tuning in and make sure that you come back tomorrow credit card girl republican presidential candidate will be joining us and i mean time for get to become
