mr. but in the alone or so we'll get the real headlines with none of. 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. 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. .

is this state english 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 right takes time to respond to my brilliance engaging viewer comments from facebook twitter and you tube because when you've got something to say i listen now first i want to talk about some feedback that we got about our relatively new segment with lauren lyster called the financial check ups are for g.t. our comments are on you tube and said this segment was awesome one of the most

exciting exchanges on r.t. this week i love how our team present this type of information so we're happy that you guys like this new segment on our show we have fun with it and it's great to get the lovely lauren listers financial input there's a lot going on out there to be angry about it just needs to be highlighted so you can look forward to plenty more of those exciting exchanges every friday the next red fingers commented on our tools line segment the honored rand paul. pending tax breaks for big oil he said conservatives criticize welfare and poor people praise corporate welfare fail see the hypocrisy and double standard and you know what i couldn't agree more are tools i have rand paul definitely got the viewers talking and debating a lot of paul defenders out there but let's be honest also if you want to point out that his campaign contributions from the oil industry pale in comparison to other politicians out there the essence of the argument still stands why is corporate welfare just considered encouragement and yet welfare social programs to the americans that need it most is not it just doesn't make any sense especially with

paul's ideology then one took some issues with a segment that we've been about for profit colleges and the part they play with in the military industrial complex he wrote on you tube alone and her hate on profits and money yet again you are completely alone on this crusade against private school loan and nobody agrees with you because the public education system has failed at all levels up to and including university you are trying to make of distrust private universities and hold up public universities as your standard how can you even repeat this nonsense out of your prompter the us public education system is one of the greatest systematic failures on this planet. well. i think that you're misunderstanding exactly what it is that we're talking about yes our public university system is riddled with problems there's no argument there but you're way off if you think the i'm the only one out there pointing out the problems with the for profit college system there's been numerous investigative reports done there have been congressional inquiries into for profit institutions and these schools

have been known to defraud students and roll them into classes without their knowledge then charge them for it and they oversell the value of their degrees as often they're not even considered valuable to employers now to mention according to the department of education only twelve percent of students attended for profit colleges but the institutions are responsible for forty five percent of federal student loan defaults and that's just to name a few problems so i say to take a. another look at the story the growing amount of evidence that shows that these institutions are scams before you say that i'm completely alone on this crusade and finally charles wrote on twitter show is it possible to get your show on hulu for the nights i miss it well guys i've got some really good news for you i can't give you an exact date yet but pretty soon we will indeed have our shows on hulu so stay tuned for all the details and that's it for you said i read it tonight but i'll be back with more on wednesday as usual. airline passengers listen up

because you might start handing over your personal information to authorities before boarding according to the u.k. paper the independent travelers are going to have to hand over data to the part of homeland security at least seventy two hours before they fly and i doubt it would include your full name your birth date or gender and if you don't spell out that info then you're not going to fly in fact d.h. has reserved the right to keep anybody from flying until it's time to take off and i'm sure this season their life passengers out there probably aren't all that surprised by this right they're used to giving up some privacy for the sake of that cramped plane seat after all travelers that enter the u.s. well they've had to supply advance passenger information for a.p.i. before putting on the seat belt for some time now but the thing is we're not just talking about flights to and from the u.s. anymore now that are part of homeland security wants to monitor anybody who's leaving the united kingdom not just americans take a look at this travelers are leaving the u.k. and heading to canada specially areas like toronto ottawa montreal nova scotia well

they're going to have to hand over their information and according to the independent about seven hundred fifty thousand brits make that trip every year or so that a lot of personal info now those who are traveling to mexico are also going to be sharing personal details especially if they are flying to mexico city already can and if any travelers are pondering a vacation in cuba or the caribbean. repair to give over your info to you so they would help out here picking up on a pattern i don't know how about. you go about the fact that all of these passengers are not going to the united states in fact nobody is entering american airspace so far the only people reporting on this is the independent surprise surprise that no us paved news outlet has shared this new procedure maybe because the d.h.s.s. knows and they're going to cash in hell for all i know we're in a post nine eleven world but who gave the us government the authority to police international airspace especially when one of the passengers are even setting foot

on u.s. soil and a lot of critics out there will say that monitoring trips to cuba might be a good way for the u.s. to put a damper on americans traveling to the country we should be breaking the rules technically but this is an excuse to collect everybody's information obviously d.h.s.s. is overstepping their bounds here but canadian and british airlines have already agreed to these new rules which are being implemented this month no questions asked now thankfully some people are expressing their concerns like simon hughes he's the deputy leader of the liberal democrats and this is what he said the concern by the u.s. for its own security is entirely understandable but it seems to me it's a whole different issue that america wishes should determine the rights and choices of people traveling between two countries neither of which is the u.s. and i hope somebody on the other side of the pond publicly questioning this but in the meantime looks like homeland security is taking upon themselves to monitor the skies not just in the us the homeland but all over the place so maybe it's time to

be change their name. our thanks to the associated press in their in-depth and continuing investigation we've learned a lot about the n.y.p.d. and their monitoring activities since they began publishing this information last august what we've learned as a department the police department was monitoring the muslim community from mosques to restaurants they owned in frequented to muslim students at universities across the new york northeast and was based on leads but simply profiling a religious group it even went as far as sending an undercover agent on a student rafting trip and stepping outside of the jurisdiction to monitor the muslim community in new jersey without telling new jersey law enforcement about it but it didn't stop there in the most recent revelation is that the n.y.p.d. also monitored left leading political groups and stepped way outside their bounds by monitoring the people summit in april two thousand and eight in louisiana so tonight we're going to speak to one man who just recently found out that he was the target of this surveillance earlier i spoke with jordan flaherty a new orleans based journalist and author of the book floodlights community and

resistance from katrina and the jenna six and i first asked him what his reaction was when he heard that the n.y.p.d. came all the way to new orleans. you know i should have been outraged and i certainly was surprised i had to think back and think two thousand and eight what was i doing at that time it turned out the report wasn't even accurate i wasn't even at the protests when they spied on me i was a film festival introducing the film and so i could be upset but also kind of absurd buys the new york city police department flying officers all the way down to new orleans to watch me introduce the film or the film festivals i think it's a pretty good question so i mean what if i tell you right because we see that they have these wide sweeping surveillance programs and yet you weren't even speaking at this event this is the people some i believe that in their documents to you they called you one of the lead organizers of this event so what does that say about the kind of intelligence gathering right so the information is inaccurate they are doing a huge waste of money by coming down to new orleans what does any of this have to

do with keeping the people of new york city safe and in do we have any sort of right to privacy and you know for me a lot of my life is fairly public anyway but it has a real chilling effect on a lot of people you know people realize if you go to a demonstration now there are police there filming almost anywhere around the country certainly in new york in new orleans very we see police filming people's license plates so you know they're tracking people in some way so people don't have this right to privacy when they go to a protest and it really scares people you know people especially from immigrant communities often say to me but they're afraid to speak at protests and i want to say that they don't have anything to be afraid of but clearly there are there is a lot to be afraid of and you know we start to ask do we really have this right to protest in this country that we say we do you know i mean let's be clear to you right and undercover police officer can go and observe a protest but they're not actually supposed to do any surveillance write anybody down and less there is a criminal investigation so i mean tell us then what was this film festival you know the people some i guess you could say is an organization of liberal groups

that are upset with the economic policies of the u.s. but either that or the film festival that you are presenting and are those really was there anything sinister going on there exactly people weren't even getting. arrested for nonviolent protest people decided it would be a very symbolic demonstration and there was certainly no so-called violent protest or anything like that and i think we're you know we really have to start asking when is enough to know if you know today we just got the news the supreme court said that people can be strip searched when arrested for any offense you know so. it's i think people have to say when is enough enough and meanwhile of course trayvon martin's killer is still walking free in new orleans we've had two incidents of police violence recently just in and wendell allen both a young man twenty years old killed by police in his home in his pajamas completely unarmed shot and killed by officers one of the officers killed justin said he was killed at a traffic stop he a couple weeks later was found to be posting there was posting on an online web

site saying he's glad trayvon martin is dead he hope he's going to hell so you know i think we're seeing police overreaching everywhere around the country and we have to ask when are we going to sort of connect these dots together and say that this is gone too far everywhere you know one of the things the right to and i've seen you write about your experience here is that in the grand scheme of things if you think of what happens if you don't talk about the stop and frisk policy the n.y.p.d. case is a bit of an anomaly if you feel like cases like yours might get more attention and . groups that really see the police tracking them absolutely and you know there's no good old days when it comes to police for communities of color and this is the way police have always been especially if you look you know through the jim crow era and before for african-american communities police were never a source of safety and now it's time to reach so why have you been privileged folks like myself are being spied on the police are losing our right to privacy but certain communities never had that right and you know i think michel alexander's book me jim crow talks about this way that an entire generation of people being

criminalized if we look at the n.y.p.d. in specific four million young men mostly black and latino have been stopped by police completely innocent over the last eight years in the so-called stop and. and this is you know it's a criminalization of a general generation. to be on our show later on this week these are excited to talk to just one last thing do you think that there's a way to fight this or is there a way that it can be right because one of the things we also saw with the occupy movement is that often a large police presence lead to violence like the clashes led to the excessive use of force by the police but also brought a lot of attention to the movement and also got more people on the side that i think you're absolutely right i think this is hopefully a teaching moment i think all the people around the country angry about trayvon martin i hope it doesn't become just about trayvon martin the fact that one case but we widen it out to a wider systemic you and start asking where does real safety come from does it come from over over over policing or does it come from building

a community making communities stronger building up our economic prospects for young people and find in community rather in militarization of our police our drug well thanks for being here and i and sharing your story with us thank you it's a pleasure. our we take another break but just ahead on the show a congressman admitted to miss eking but then proceeded to make the same accusations so we're going to tell you who has a case of verbal diarrhea and i still had a happy hour mitt romney's wife says that if you run through him he isn't fit. and it looks like the hot air inside the pirate bay is going to make drone carrying servers for all they from. you know the story and the scene so. you think you understand it and then something else here's some other part of this and realized. this is the.

up in the lone itself there are the real headline if not. the problem of 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. 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. . is the state run english speaking russian channel it's kind of like. russia today has an extremely confrontational stance when it comes to us. all right guys it's time for tonight's tool time award and tonight we honor house budget committee chairman paul ryan for some remarks that he made on a.b.c. news sunday morning seen in recent days

a congressman whose name is synonymous with budget cuts isn't blasting the obama administration for actually in cruel including the hundreds of billions of dollars of cuts to the pentagon that congress agreed to last year the pentagon law fear mongering over sequestration the additional six hundred billion dollars of defense cuts that result from the trigger effect well so far they've been supportive of this initial round of cuts of four hundred eighty seven billion which is in the administration's budget for the pentagon and they say that it's doable now with ryan released his budget he actually upped defense spending so the pentagon can deal with the cuts than that but last week ryan said that he didn't think of generals were quote giving their true advice general martin dempsey chairman of the joint chiefs he didn't like one bit he fired back at ryan for calling military leaders collectively liars and you know i know generals aren't exactly renowned for their truth telling but in this case i want them to lie about having enough money so with the national spotlight right attempted to roll back from his gap and

naturally the blogging class does absolutely love this one after all who doesn't like hearing politicians say that they misspoke so i think we have a clip of what he said here. i totally missed it was it not the person i meant to give i talked to general dempsey and i made an expression that that sentiment. art was exactly as good as rick santorum claiming that he said block people instead of black people but i would like to think of this is paul ryan's bleier moment now surely afterwards ride made a far less scrutinized statement curious remarks about the white house's plan but called into question his own reputation take a look at this. my issue is i think that the president's budget on the pentagon is a budget driven strategy not a strategy driven budget he announced the number of the cut she wanted for the pentagon and then he began the strategy review to conform to that number. and so

there are two problems with this statement for one ryan is undermining his half assed apology by calling dempsey a liar again on friday the general said the following about the white house plan he said this was very much a strategy driven process to which we mapped the budget and he still thinks of the generals lying there why i think just come out and say it now the second problem is that paul ryan is the last person who should be criticizing a budget driven strategy could be like the catholic church criticizing former congressman mark foley for creeping out under age boys take a look at this one. this coming declaration is the most difficult place you've ever had in this country. and look what's happening this is why we're acting this is why we're leaving this is why we're proposing and passing of the house budget fix this problem would save our country for ourselves and for our children's future.

are you scared yet and i agree of the budget eventually one day has to be balanced but if you actually look beyond the talking points the ryan budget which is passed by the house last week kind of the problems it cuts first and ask questions later or in other words if the definition of a budget based strategy bruce bartlett a supply side economists and fiscal times columnist laughed it ryan's budget for laughing crucial details he said that the plan doesn't say what tax expenditures would be cut and what ryan's new tax brackets look like he also glass of the congressman saying the following he said i think ryan has an undeserved reputation for seriousness and budget matters the word fantasy would better apply in my opinion the ryan budget should be seen as nothing more than a p.r. document for republicans so they can say they have a plan to balance the budget cut taxes and cure the common cold i wish i could buy some of the stuff these guys are drinking or smoking now that's a pretty harsh criticism especially considering the fiscal times are to me comes

under fire from liberals but an arguably more serious problem with ryan's budget is that well it's balanced on the backs of average americans it would cut three hundred eighty nine billion dollars from medicare seven hundred thirty five from medicaid and nine hundred thirty five billion from discretionary domestic spending on top of that the plan would slash the top marginal income tax rate from thirty five to twenty five percent probably sounds like it would get america back on track to you is a reduction in our massive military budget one would still leave us spending almost twice as much as china if not more so that. i don't like a catastrophe or does paul ryan just come off as a dishonest hypocrite a standout even by washington's high standards well to me it seems like ryan's of ocracy is recently level of certainty which is why tonight he's a clear winner of art full time work.

hi guys it's time for happy hour and joining me this evening archie producer jenny churchill and jim hansen retired special operations master sergeant and military blogger at black guy dot net hey guys i am having monday. so this one i just really i left first but first line on that romney has a little bit of a people problem people call her robot if he can really relate and there's one other word that we see a tribute to him a lot. mitt romney saying what you will about the guy but he is that you know a stiff mitt romney who's known as being so stiff it turns out that he's even stood for me it's. all right so his wife ann romney who actually does have personality in comparison to mitt romney tried to save the day but. because it's too funny she said i guess we better and let the real mitt romney

out because he is not not stiff. i mean i think she had to have no. i mean i think this is her china and some personality and then not be said but knowing too boring everybody with thousands actually i don't want to give her the benefit of the doubt here and i figured you know you know i would you feel if you're right to do you really almost show for this quote of it's either a biographer herschel you know or it's the quote from blazing saddles where sure of little's there's excuse me while i whip this out none of it's good i don't understand why she did it. it's. ok. let's move on to our next story jim i particularly want your take on this so family research council they are no friends of marriage by any means and basically the raising of a gay pride flag at the u.s.

military base in afghanistan has upset tony perkins said that. he said where is the concern now for angering afghan muslims who vehemently oppose him with six melodie issue is as much an issue of military security as it is of religious morality after february's accident with the koran american lives were lost what price will be paid because some want to use the military to show their gay pride. ok so he just told me this first do you think the average afghan knows what he gave looks like i don't think the average afghan he knows what the american flag looks like so that you probably don't know i was in favor of repealing don't ask don't tell that doesn't mean i think this is a good idea it's a dumb idea all right though what is it. with you seeing somebody go this flag is somebody doesn't know it's in every newspaper it's going to be afghan papers and it's going to cause problems i don't know the reality to do it you know what you know the reality here is what i'm going to show you right now it wasn't an issue with the security of american troops until tony perkins president of the american

family research council or whatever decided to make it an issue for the state does america get what he you know how long the flag has been there i honestly don't know i doubt it flew very long because there are rules and regulations about what you can and cannot run off like on a u.s. base so it was a stunt all right this guy maybe don't call when he publicize it was dumb to do it was done to publicize it and in the end it needs to just stop it's not helping. i mean also in his statement he went on to say that there are very few troops who said we support supported ending don't ask don't tell i mean he's just a natural anyway we got an answer tony perkins is a. match up that's very true in fact. we already began telling you about the story the other week but here's here's a quick refresher. the military has used drones for surveillance but now the infamous file sharing site. seascape from views high altitude aircraft to avoid

being taken offline many authorities don't like the way the site directs users to places where they can download copyrighted films or other material without being. i said last time we spoke about this story we thought it was cool the pirate bay wanted to have its servers on drones but we realized hey maybe there is problems considering where you can find the airspace to do that you're still going to have some countries airspace migraines us legal issues but basically in greece today. they said they can give them exclusive usage of greek airspace yeah i'm not illegal obviously. this is the pirate bay getting some free pulled from everybody they can do the payloads a lot of low you have to have batteries you have actual servers drones can't carry very many have effects and even the u.s. military has to spend a lot of money to keep drones flying pirate bay doesn't have that kind of fun so this is great for him well going gentlemen but no it's

a stunt and i think it's interesting from the standpoint they want to find a place where they can safely do it and if the u.s. government using drones why can't they however i don't like the idea of all of these companies being like oh well we'll just use drones because then you got some of the states here there's things flying around nobody knows what who's drone that is what it's doing i'm out laying by the pool and there's no matter where i just can't i'm with you there i think that you know especially once they actually changes its guidelines as it's forced to do now what is it by one of the really we're talking right we're going to taco cockrell describe as you travel got a little bit i know you got my only going to crunch remember it's about you know. i think the night fell thanks for tuning in make sure that you come back tomorrow feel the web site trademark will be on the show to talk about his campaign to expose trademarks pulling meantime don't forget become a fan of you are still on facebook and follow us on twitter and if you missed any
