welcome back to our studios here in central moscow time talk that your main news stories here and i'll take it serious says all attempts to al's the regime of failed even as a u.s. led pro opposition group of nations meets with the aim of aiding the rebels calls. beijing levels criticism of washington over its sanctions against countries that keep going more oil from iran the u.s. wants to start to run of incoming attempt to make it abandon its nuclear program. and cities across the world switch off the lights to do their bit for the

environment here in moscow and on the city's among those plunged into darkness. looking back with more the stories in full fully in half an hour from now in the meantime return to washington and the ammunition. all right guys it's time for tonight's tools on board and tonight it's going to g.o.p. senator rand paul and yeah i know earlier this week we commended him for glock ing a vote on iran sanctions because he wanted to put in an amendment that would state that there had to be congressional approval for any military action on iran that was good but this next issue with a entirely different ball game yesterday forty three senate republicans and four democrats protected twenty four billion dollars in tax breaks for oil companies and earlier this week during discussions about the tax breaks rampaul decided to go to

bat for big oil if an industry is successful and creates nonpoint two million jobs instead of punishing them you should want to encourage though i would think you would want to say to your companies what obstacles are there to making more money and hiring more people instead they say no we must understand. that's where i ran this is all about punishing the companies that are doing well how do you figure it out i mean i'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the five biggest oil companies b.p. chevron conoco phillips exxon mobil and royal dutch shell made record profits of one hundred seventy thirty seven billion dollars and many of those companies pay a lower tax rate than the average american and in two thousand and nine exxon actually paid zero taxes even though they made over forty five billion dollars in profits. not to mention freeze point out some of the problems with paul's logic here the tax breaks that the oil industry enjoys our corporate welfare so by asking

them to actually pay their fair share of taxes instead of getting to use loopholes that amount to welfare something that someone of calls ideology normally would be opposed to well that's not punishment it's bringing things back to where they're supposed to be but now a big part of paul's argument is that we shouldn't be penalizing the job creators. the oral company employs nine point two million people we don't need to heat punishment on them we need to give them encourage men to employ more people. fortunately for paul the oil companies don't exactly employ a nine point two million people the entire industry including minimum wage workers only adds up to two point two million jobs and nine points he was a huge expansion that includes ripple effects which are not truly part of the industry whoops and it's not just a fact that paul is wrong about he also fails to mention that between two thousand and five and ten p.p.

chevron shell and exxon together let eleven thousand two hundred employees go so you think it was a tough time for the oil industry turns out that it was that during that same time period they made five hundred forty six billion dollars in profit per member according to rand paul they're just job creators and they should be encouraged but that leaves me wondering just how much encouragement and profits would it take for the oil industry to actually be the job creators of all claims they are now since they obviously are using the money they make off you could pump to hire new employees or even retain existing ones might be asking yourself what are they doing with all that money well we often hear of the oil companies need these tax breaks so they can develop new oil deposits so we have more oil supplies leading to lower gas prices recent years only ten percent of big oil producers profits have gone towards exploration and in two thousand and eleven u.s. dependence on foreign oil hit its lowest level in sixteen years as u.s. oil production reached its highest level it years and guess why gas prices continue

to rise while at the same time the company's rate and record profits kind on i thought according to this logic if we had more oil that led to lower gas prices and oil because they meant to say bigger profits so what they actually use that profit for. so much as by our government of course just last year big oil spent one hundred and forty six million dollars lobbying congress on top of that they shelled out eighteen million dollars in campaign contributions ninety percent of which went to republican candidates so it really shouldn't come as a surprise that there are more than a few people in congress who will go to bat for big oil any day any time now to repay those debts or they might buy themselves funding fun list during their next campaign now despite all those facts apart inside and turn up for crazy just and attacking obama for giving federal loans to his contributors while the president talks about people not paying their fair share he's actually giving more than their fair share to is for i don't think the government should be used as

a loan agency to give money to your contributors are getting there on here everybody in the capital plays that you scratch my back i'll scratch yours game we call them out for it all the time both sides have their friends and they're cutting deals for and it's a big problem but those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones turns out the polls received over one hundred six thousand dollars in campaign contributions from oil companies so for being a complete shill for the oil industry painting the oil industry is just job creators and making my glowingly hypocritical statements about handouts from campaign contributors for all that rand paul is tonight's bull's-eye my ear. well federal court ruled this wednesday that david house will after all have his day in court despite the government's attempts to get the case dismissed and we brought you this story before david house an mit researcher a co-founder of the bradley manning support network was stopped at the border chicago o'hare airport in two thousand and ten and returning from

a trip to mexico u.s. customs agents detained house confiscated his laptop his thumb drive and digital camera and then held onto that equipment for forty nine days at the airport house says that he was detained in question for over ninety minutes about his relationship with bradley manning his work on the support network and the association with wiki leaks now the government is by law allowed to search travelers without a warrant under the border search exemption house argues that is first and fourth amendment rights were violated because this was politically motivated and u.s. district judge denise casper has agreed that this lawsuit can go on right although the agency may not need to have any particular allies suspicion for the initial search and seizure at the border for the purpose of the fourth amendment analysis it does not necessarily follow that the agents as is alleged in the complaint may seize personal electronic devices containing expressive materials target someone for their political association and seizes electronic devices and refuse to review the information pertinent to that association and its members and supporters simply

because the initial search occurred at the border so one point three but what are the next steps joining me to discuss it is david house founding member of the bradley manning support network so david thanks for joining us tonight it's not a victory yet entirely but i mean do we see this is a positive sign do you actually can go on and bring your lawsuit against the government but this is certainly a positive side of the ruling was a little surprised. old this either suppression last year of the brilliant we're being ordered by the f.b.i. people in boston really good routes to actually have. a federal judge say hey wait you know you can't just see someone's material order because you don't like their politics that was really refreshing and that really enjoyed myself but a lot of supporters in the area with a lot of confidence so it's likely a color second win and i really hope it's a.c.l.u. lawsuit to go ahead works and i really hope we can we can the government or

research exemption at the border it would be excellent if the government did not have the right to see someone drop out all order but if we can we give them enough that you can't have it seize based near full for police well that's something i'm talking about i'm just curious here what exactly was the government's legal reasoning for why they thought that barricade can just be thrown out. bernie question of the actually claim that i wrote a federal law by refusing to give my password to my cricket computer no let's take a step back and look at what we're actually talking about here we have those up talking to her that is they're working through the border and all my computer information about after this network that raises money for bradley manning the accused with the board completely legal but this computer can seem to deliver information they contain to their nation about who has given money to us about who was on our mailing list and it contains all the internal strategy of the organization we believe that our personal association has been breached because

i've seen that computer the government now has access to an encrypted portions of the hard drive which may have had of information on it and they can share this information with the very thing so this is a big problem the government should not be able to target out of this networks and say hey we have all their stuff now we know what we're doing now we can embrace what we're trying to get done and we believe that's exactly what happened here the government says that because i did not provide my password however i was violating this rule that says i'm not the t.s.a. opening the container the last or something of this so they're trying to argue that a lot of talking to her house in fact encrypted whatever is essentially analogous to a locked container of course but otherwise that everyone access organizations around the country did a left wing or right wing on this organization she definitely feels the same now what about those people that you know that are part of the problematic support network that are throughout that are your donors you know the people whose

information you had inside of your laptop here find out upon the homeland security so has all that information to use it if they deleted it destroyed it or what we simply don't know at this point we hope that they do not have information now and then we hope that the office of the target is however we can't really be sure until the discovery phase of the last few whether or not that's true now. possible that the u.s. government has taken this information and has shared it with three letter agencies across the country and used it to initiate a crackdown we've seen on manning supporters in the last year and a half. but until we do if you say we just don't know that hopefully will be able to figure out exactly what agencies how does that permission and what they used for it if we could actually show that the u.s. government but they're all more by using this started activists who may have a very big pearl case on our hands about trying to stop the world. some of the oppressive type excuse seen in the obama administration the last few years

realistically what do you know the lawyers over at the a.c.l.u. tell you because i know that you want to say that you know you want this to pertain to political activism and that kind of speech but what are the chances of getting this rolled back farther because we see you know this these border searches happen all the time and it's not just activists they happen and journalists who write and then journalists will have to disclose their information which could be sensitive which could have sources information on them. well these still use trying to stay very positive and. i think that we can really show that people research exception has been used improperly by the u.s. government that we. you know their ability to explain in court actually how such you know however this is a little lot of factors at this point we just don't know all we can do is try to weaken the succession as much as possible and try to restore a bit of dignity to american order so be still you know it's like mean we're optimistic cautiously optimistic and we're hoping that we can achieve some group

a little change in this country using this ruling but time will tell i don't know we hope that the judges in the future are as and white does judge. right now let's switch to another place which is the case against bradley manning i'm just curious what you think you know what we've seen in these in these hearings in these proceedings so far leading up to that we've obviously seen the defense trying to get the case thrown out we know that the government has not been willing to hand over certain information they don't want to make public certain internal assessments made by intelligence agencies as to whether or not there was actually any national security damage so this from observing the way that it's been going so far you know what's your take on how this is going to pan out. well it's very hard to say and one reason it's hard to say is because bradley manning's trial is essentially closed there are very large close workings of it that the american people and journalists are actually unable to get insight into you have what you have here is a man who is alleged to have. documents for the purpose of helping americans

understand the inner workings of an increasingly secretive governments and you have that secretive government now the nominating the american public an insight into his trial and a sense of closing the doors of the trial itself. i think that this is really heinous and i think that without actually having eyes and ears in the courtroom that are going to government censors are not really going to know what's going on in there so i would hope the u.s. government would change its stance and actually start moving towards a more fair and open trial that hasn't happened yet and in fact i don't really know when the trial date so maybe it keeps getting shipped around so it's very hard to say what may actually happen here. coombs bradley manning's attorney has recently said that because it is now denying being the defense evidence that may be used to clear a man his name in the name of national security so here we see the same abuse the same use that was used to protect the n.s.a. wiretaps the state secrets act and this kind of added to the government has where people don't deserve to know and said permission is now being used and maybe even

its impact to probably many behind orus the rest is lie or even worse putting before firing squad simply because the government doesn't want that mission out there it's completely ridiculous and i think it's it's ironic considering the action many allegedly took to open information which country i damn well thank you for joining us and i and we will be following both cases here on our staff a lot it's always a pleasure. i'll take a break i'll be right back. i've had tonight's kishen dates in believe me. just pay me one the chili execution tape isn't enough in a day to go to my life and. you know more than fifty percent of the people who are actually in texas are not. like you know little known to fruition right. this is like you know we execute our convicted capital murder we have the highest

execution rate in america we're not afraid to do it we do it well this becomes a point where death becomes. part of the whole. our getting there you're dead to be executed next week then isn't he a scary moment for you to know you can loose here want to be appearing to be in a manner of me saying i'd say it's time to go. to our group. and i would lead them into the to the best chamber. come and stay till after they were dating. filmmakers. and. the leading. directors cause of real life made in prison on charges of their own

good will all be through move. to. some. of. it. if. you want to order. just street still cheap seats the fence of the mountains and reveal the shooting of the soviet files on oxys. sofas and saluja the rates of. the rays of leukemia for example thirty eight times but. breast cancers more than sends ons told cancers fourteen times i was

forget the exact details but the shoots numbers as not nothing that you have ever found in any epidemiological study can be read there is a way that brings victory and to its creator. he's not alone some are more severe than others we have something that is born without skulls without organs and sometimes with their legs totally twisted what means death to those who it's point is such a and. owns to those who choose. despite. the celebrities and they don't stand a. future council. this is just. so suds.

leakage and i'll show you to the extent how much i have. to tonight's fireside fridays be fewer. this week all eyes have been on the supreme court and the oral arguments that were given pertaining to the health care law a fordable care act so now the waiting begins for weapons justices will decide so today while we wait for that mike to highlight another case that's coming up on april twenty fifth so the court is going to hear arguments to decide the fate of what was just the first in a space of strict immigration laws to sweep states across the nation arizona's s.b. ten seventy a lower courts have blocked portions of this bill perhaps most importantly the papers please

a provision that allows police to check the immigration status of anybody they suspect of being in the country illegally a provision that very widely opens up the door for discrimination based on how somebody looks at opinions and the supreme court is going to be deciding if the federal government is right and saying the immigration law as a whole is their domain and not that of the states and so this is where we really have to look at the past to see why current warnings make sense it's been nearly seventy years since a supreme court ruled that the constitution doesn't allow for the states to set their own immigration policy and of course the reasoning was that not only was it unconstitutional but it could also have serious consequences on foreign policy according to play and experience his shell the. of gone to war over wrongs in the treatment of their citizens in other nations and so looking as beat and seventy the numerous other immigration laws that have been passed across the us in the last few years you can see how the logic still applies and fact a bipartisan group of former officials have filed an amicus brief with the supreme

court this week warning them about the possible repercussions of allowing as and seventy to stand saying that arizona's actions risk of embroiling the national government in disputes not of its making how this group includes former secretary of state madeline albright former defense secretary william cohen and former deputy secretary of state john negroponte and in fact instead of only providing warnings these officials actually remind the supreme court that we've already seen consequences to this law a month after s.b. ten seventy was passed the mexican president expressed his concern and a speech to the u.s. congress in june of two thousand and ten six mexican governors canceled their trips to phoenix for an annual conference as u.s. and mexican governors on border issues public opinion polls in mexico changed immediately unpaved public attitudes towards the u.s. jumping from twenty seven to forty eight percent after this law was passed out salvador and nights ago have issued travel warnings to their citizens coming to the u.s.

presidents and parliaments in bolivia brazil colombia ecuador el salvador guatemala honduras and nicaragua have all issued statements criticizing this law this isn't to say that states should set their policies according to how other countries will view that no not at all but when there are policies that might affect the foreign policy there for the security of the united states as a whole one state shouldn't be allowed to pass a law that affects us all so that's just something for you to think about to ponder as this case heads. time for a happy hour and joining me tonight is the lovely r.t. correspondent christine for south and anthony randolph though the rector of economic research for the reason foundation here just as lovely and. this is a lovely day. yesterday so she's lovely or i guess ok great prince adored him.

but you know he's not going to host the show anymore turns out that keith olbermann and we just found this out like an hour before the show tonight is out at current t.v. it's terminated their relationship with them or they've terminated it within windows and apparently he's going to be replaced by viewpoints with eliot spitzer and ok so basically this is all give you the two different statements here current said current was also founded on the girl use of respect open his cleats reality and loyalty to our viewers unfortunately these viewers are no longer reflected in our relationship with keith olbermann and we have and that it all remained where on this tweeting rampage was a whole long thing but one prefers which is talking is i'd like to apologize to my viewers and my staff for the failure of current t.v. editorially countdown had never been better. i don't know you know it's really hard because you hear especially in this industry and i'm sure you've heard rumors about

keith olbermann and working with keep people right now it's difficult and there's talk about you felt like a monster is under the ratings i mean but this is a guy who had a successful show he had a successful show and i think he had a successful show on e.s.p.n. and he was like a successful show on courage he was one of the first major shows that anyone knew about on current. so i guess it's not surprising that there were personnel issues i guess you could say but it is surprising that they're going to put another failed show another failed show homes or places. and i'm going to say i thought spitzer was great as the governor of new york i thought you know when you think about people who actually stood face to face against wall street trying to do stuff about wall street criminality this is a person who did. his t.v. listings skills not so. and so i'm pretty surprised about this is it do you think anthony i think it's fun that this conversation is actually happening and happy hours all around d.c. right now because this is this is this is right here from what from what i've read it sounds like it was just fed up with his antics like i'm sure editorial it was

but a lot of old words after its word and this is not the first news be furtive him just being upset with technical failure is. basically just not having the money to have the studio in the perceived that he wanted it and i simply believe the money and you know a ten million dollar i think of all your money where you actually see him who called me my salary none of it went to my you know i definitely you know it's interesting not shocking because he's had so many problems everywhere he goes there you go no i see now where will he go next democratic governor that's going to be hosting a show i guarantee you that is another guy in michigan in new york you know easy for me personally all right let's take a look at this ad so obviously this moment between president obama and there was a big thing to talk about this week they're all american crossroads has put out this james bond my train of thought about. your mission is simple destroy. the next. month's ability we can defense and fundamentally comes.

to me to me will transmit the information. stop. this president flexible from a treatment structured trends. on your point. here what you think it's hilarious right i love any opportunity without a shirt on but this is my. personal personal take on this i mean i love bill is like. right no longer part of me i think about for like an hour sorry that the president flexible i mean that was cute and funny but if you watch the out in its entirety it's pretty scary it kind of goes along with the whole. myth that mitt romney's been trying to perpetuate this week that russia is our number one enemy that it looks like communist russia from the view that they should here's the facts i need any second term president has more flexibility to do what they want anyone

that's trying to turn this into president obama is going to totally turn against everything he says you know what any president has the same ability is there is a lot of like we're a cold war like the air mongering right going on and then there romney saying that russia is the number one foe but you know ok my question to you guys too because we've seen a lot of these political ads that people have got were offensive. especially certain ones they think that these are really offensive to chinese as this one seems to be offensive to russia i should hope and i think that you know russian should brace that they are the geo political foe of the united states and james bond movies or a little bit of britain i guess it's james bond movies if the purpose of got out is to fear monger and make people scared that president obama is socialist crazy or think of it like that is a little an action you know this or you like you realize it so there's certainly not really here it's like you're saying it's like there's nobody out there that didn't hate obama already that's like oh you'll see it now oh now we know what he's going to do well that's what you already thought he's going to do and we all know

that every second term president always changes you know course in some direction they don't have to act like they're running for another term it's not there's no one who from your last story which is clearly going to be the big story of the evening take a look. the largest jackpot ever of lotteries has folks who've never bought a ticket before now thinking number is the jackpot is now six hundred forty million dollars of course the odds of winning are extremely long winded one hundred seventy six million. i would you know anybody that isn't at least trying it isn't in some way you don't even get in on the author's poor i don't i don't buy lottery tickets i never buy lottery tickets on the regular but when there's something there is this big stuff so you're going to feel terrible and all the archie office pool will want to be the only one working here to buy really what i felt. when we were all the parking lot is when you invite me to parties when you.

don't know. christine. it's nice that we could all have fun with never having this much money yeah it's nice to dream isn't it our guys are going to record over things we're doing tonight that there are nights so thanksgiving it adds a for the comeback on monday is going to be a lot of talk about his lawsuit against president obama and secretary of defense leon panetta challenging the legalities of the national defense authorization act and we have time don't forget become a fan of yellow to show on facebook and follow us on twitter if you missed any of snipes or any others you can trash youtube dot com shell and coming up next is the new. world.
