with the straight community escape a bailout you stare at his door hundreds of thousands of people out in protest they say the government's leaving them on the bread. alone a show in washington d.c. next with the tea definitely have money. technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. our guys it's time for tonight's true all time award and the night that are goes to the republican party for some members rethink contributions to the debate over women's health so with republicans in the state the federal level attempting to

create hurdles to abortion naturist access to contraception polls have shown that women increasingly are throwing their support behind democrats and democrats have branded these restrictive policies as a war on women and it's a term that's put some republicans panties on a little twist take a look because the way it was handled or the way the media covered it it became the war on women which is complete invention when men don't care about contraception they care about jobs and the economy and raising their families i mean it wants to talk about contraception sort of like democrats of course say you're waging a g.o.p. is waging war on women look you can polls you have a gender gap problem i'll be your problem as well i mean it all goes well for one thing you know if the democrats did it a war and caterpillar's and every mainstream media outlet talked about the fact that republicans have a war in caterpillar's then we have problems with caterpillar's i mean the fact of the matter is it's a fiction. we're in caterpillar's now some democrats have blasted

priebus saying that he was comparing women to caterpillars i don't think so i think that's just silly obviously a previous was trying to say is the war on women is something he considers fictional like a war on caterpillars and it's awesome that's manipulation being carried out on the part of the media obviously and so once again the republicans of the innocent victims turns out they're not the i've called the string of policies being proposed by republicans in the capitol and state houses across the country a war on women i will call about again after all wasn't too long though the house republicans had an all male hearing on contraception yesterday was consing governor scott walker signed g.o.p. bills barring abortion coverage through health insurance exchanges and requiring doctors to consult privately with women seeking abortions and today mississippi governor phil bryant or see the bill that would close the sole remaining abortion clinic in the entire state and he intends on signing it that's all in just one week and let's not forget the bombing of a planned parenthood in wisconsin earlier this week and that is straight out

domestic terrorism and you know it but you'll never say it but taking exception to the so-called war on women that's not why these republicans are being such abject tools tonight it's the fact that they're busy whining about what they want to call a fake political war when these guys are the masters of creating actual fake political wars for take a look and this started as a war against the vatican that this president pursued when will it come to the person on the personal home situation. i love to light up at my house i just wonder if you can hear they're going to we're not at the door excuse me we're the little drummer boy you're. thinking if we do. and. our and his own family. and we are headed down that on. i mean come on guys but you make one thing

a very clear there is no war on religion let alone a war on christmas coming out of anything it's some of the religious politicians that are trying to impose their morals on the rest of us despite the fact that one of the founding ideals of this country is the freedom of religion many of you can believe anything you want and the government should never write intervene now what you want to say about it that's your choice you do after all have free speech so while you're more than welcome to freak out about policies that ensure that women are allowed to seek out their health care they need and you're going to freak out about an imaginary secret police force intent on taking your baby jesus out of the manger and down to an abortion clinic you should also expect to be called out on it when you moan about make up wars when you're for star generals of the practice and so for that the g.o.p. wins tonight's tool time award congratulations. now if you run a business or even a government make sense to be as prepared as you possibly can be for any scenario

using trends and analysis to try and predict future problems doesn't tire industry out there that works with governments and businesses could you can do just that so called strategic intelligence one former analyst after fifteen years is quitting the business and he's decided to speak out our guest tonight says an industry that once told hard truths to corporate government clients now mostly just tells them what they want to hear and that makes it harder for all of us to adapt to a changing world so let's find out more when to be to discuss this is eric garland futurist and strategic analyst and the author of future eight how businesses anticipate and profit from what's next as well as satire of the foresight industry called how to predict the future and when eric thanks so much for joining us tonight and so you wrote about this wrote a whole piece say this is why i'm quitting the intelligence industry but you know say it again in your words for our viewers tonight. well i've been doing this john for fifteen years working with hopefully she's. governments writing books and

traveling around and and it's been a good time but it's the end of the road because you know i'm just kind of tired of the fake conversations about things i'll tell you i was in washington d.c. i'm in st louis right now but i was in washington d.c. on when when the economy melted down in two thousand and eight and i was privy to a lot of the conversations my office was two blocks from from the treasury and whatnot and when people were telling me that oh we were just briefed members of commerce congress were just briefed that we could have the army in the streets in a few days because the economy is going to melt down so badly. that we have to turn all this power over to the banks we have to give them blank checks and if we don't you'll be fighting in the street for old sandwiches and that was such a bad outcome and especially since i had predicted it kind of a month and i don't want a i don't want to meddle going forth for that i'm not famous for that there are plenty of people who saw this coming because you know you had kids who had never had jobs getting three hundred thirty thousand dollar loans for houses and you know entire buildings filled so the people doing fraud you know to fill up the mark

mortgage markets in the c.d.'s in the c.d.'s and all of that if you look at it all you knew that something bad was coming down the pike but we had this horrible catastrophe that from what they told us was going to result in people fighting in the streets for food and mass hysteria and i thought great after two thousand and eight ok we saw this coming and it happened and it's bad but now people are going to be more sensitive to the future and they're going to be sensitive to destruction and things you know and looking ahead and making sure that we see things that we don't want to see and thinking the unthinkable but in fact the opposite happened and what has happened is the culture has gone far more back to the next five minutes thinking even than it was before and a lot of it is because i can talk about all the way to i don't know let's get into that right because i think the natural thing that i think anyone about this new thing right now i have a microphone and. rooting for you know intelligence. analysts i don't know what they're. i thought about it and you know maybe part of it was that not enough

people were talking about it like you said there were some people that have been predicting it but. the sooner i would assume probably that nobody would really trust this industry anymore and yet it's still going on and i want to know why it is that it's still happening in the same way like you said. there is even more lying well there's always been two kinds of analysts there's always been people that you know are principled thinkers who are going to tell you what they see and they're going to say things that are not convenient to the people who have just put their career on the line to sweep a boss really to invest in this we need to go in this direction and then the intelligence tells them you know well actually that's not going to work out you know there's people that's going to make somebody upset i've been in that situation you know endless times where people have asked me for a market assessment and you come up with something that they they're not happy with and sometimes they go oh sometimes they really want to know before they put down a billion dollars on something and sometimes you know they get very upset with you that you just embarrass them and don't want to pay you after things like that i

mean that's always been the case so you have analysts that are willing to do that and analysts that are willing to say whatever is politically expedient now my my belief was that after two thousand and eight the consequences were so dire that you know we were going to turn more towards people that were willing to say things that were comfortable because everyone was comfortable pretending that their condo was worth three times what it had been five years before everyone was comfortable with that everyone you know it was on the cover of time and there's you know home and garden television has you know bathroom freakout you know television programs and you know a closet masters and thanks to everyone like that and just say this is all fake and it's going to blow up made people upset but you know my thought was that people that are willing to rock the boat we're going to get a say and i'm reading and i'm good so let's let's let's break down some of the reasons why you think they have it you give three trends out there that you think are making for a sight more difficult and so you know run through the. sure the there's three big

things that are really making things harder in organizations for people to look down the road towards a future one we've had a massive influx of capital from wall street that have allowed these corporations to get so big that instead of having fifteen or twenty players in an industry you have like four or five i'll give you an example when the eighteen t. and t. mobile merger didn't go through i saw an analyst online go hey this will be great for rising and i was like wow that's what an alice is now is it's like going to be the one guy or the other guy so you know you don't have competitive markets you don't have free markets like you did before that you can look at as an analyst and try and you know see how the world might unfold now when you get giant corporations you get sort of your second trend which is you get gigantic bureaucracies forty sixty one hundred hundred twenty thousand people well when you have companies that are that big they get too big to fail people won't let them fail governments won't

let them fail but you've got you know this top down culture where success is not because of one person's you know daring decision to think differently or do you know as much as we rattle on about strategy and innovations you know that you're both hold on to a whole culture of bosses and you know it is better to fail conventionally in a way that doesn't scare people then it is to actually think differently or try something new or solve a real problem and the third you know the third trend is that you've got more government policymakers deciding what markets are going to look like than ever before so you've got too big to fail banks that get coverage on not being prosecuted for laws they break or excuse me you know you know five hundred million dollars settlement or something like that. and you've got cases like with the tarp you find out that some of the tarp money that was supposed to we're being told this is for banks so your pension fund doesn't go out but some of the cash went to rise and in general. electric to back up you know some of the losses they had taken so

that their operations wouldn't be disturbed a my business got disturbed after two thousand and eight i didn't get checks from anybody i didn't get even you know a star you know you're not going to be bringing as much money home to your family i didn't get that the corner grocery store didn't get that but some players do so when you get those three things and you just have this you know a few huge players in every industry to pretend like the state of the industry of looking at the future is like it was when i got into the business in the mid ninety's you know the. the way that it needs to be are going to be good for joining us and i guess that's how is that a thing is that i don't don't trust people. i got i got a rabbit i gave away one thing if the mother died thank the lifes. archived just ahead and i have still fireside friday and are happy hour overmanned takes crank swipes at his former current colleagues and not only differential in

terms of work for free but they also can't sue their employers on the back. to its creation dates in believe me or just a wonder to me execution date isn't enough for anybody to go to more leisure. you know with thirty percent of the people who are if you texans are not. why you know you have been the difference not. just this next 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 if it comes up for we just becomes. i ever do i hope. i will get

a letter your dad is due to be executed next week then as appears here in the me for you to know you can see here i want to be appearing with the in a manner of me saying that's he it's time to go. through our group. and i would lead them into this because this chamber of. commerce trade till afterward. download the official we can show you on phone only called touch from the on cue sounds to. see life on the go. video on demand on ts mine comes an r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. pushing on the policy telecom.

more news today harlan says once again fled up the phone these are the images. from the streets of canada. for asians are the day. the earth. and tonight's. your. other week with yet another development in the obama administration's war on whistleblowers that we keep highlighting these stories for you on the show because not only does it show the attacks that are happening on the free speech on the freedom of press the intimidation method that's being applied to those who dare speak out about the dirty secrets that the government would rather no one talked about but it also shows you that they were the obama's justice department's

priorities lie what cases they feel are we're dedicating their resources to while things like white collar crime wall street go completely unpunished so today let me remind you of the case of john kiriakou former cia agent now kiriakou became a public face when he sat down for an a.b.c. news interview in two thousand and seven there he spoke out about the cia waterboarding aboud zubaida and you see curiosity would help coordinate the capture of zubaydah and pakistan but kiriakou didn't condemn the enhanced interrogation techniques quite the opposite he said that he thought that waterboarding worked and he said that he was glad that it had been used but he publicly called waterboarding torture and question why the cia destroyed interrogation tapes and he wondered aloud why we had to torture to keep america safe he also wrote about that in his book but supposedly this has nothing to do with why the government is going out for him he just this week he was indicted by

a federal grand jury in virginia on five counts those five counts include violating the intelligence identities protection act making false statements and violating the espionage act so the justice department's going after kiriakou releasing classified information to journalists that included the identities of a covert cia officer and information on the role of another cia employee in classified activities they won't tell us who report or. is that he actually gave this information to although it's widely believed to be new york times reporter scott shane there's a long story there but the man that shane wrote about was not an undercover officer he had never engaged in the waterboarding or other techniques described as torture and if so many others had been named in the campaign against al qaeda at the times put it that would make this case any different chain also had twenty three other sources for this article but the justice department is going after kiriakou so you see the warning that the government's trying to give here more intimidation so that fewer sources will be willing to talk to the press about national security matters

the fewer people talk and the less we know unless of course it's a government sanctioned leak by officials and then the same punishment just doesn't apply because one more thing they're also going after curiosity for allegedly turning over pictures and the name of a cia officer to the defense lawyers of a detainee guantanamo bay and just think about it this way justin radek she's a guest on our show and she's also from the government accountability project and she put it this way instead of an investigation into the government's withholding of exculpatory information from good mood detainees lawyers the government investigated how the lawyers obtained the information and instead of investigating the seventy names and twenty five photos of the detainees alleged torturers the government investigated how the prisoners found out so that is a perfect picture of how our government chooses to apply justice the state's justice for those who tortured know their identities are not being revealed and yet no justice for those who were tortured secrets kept out of legal documents when it

suits the government's interest and an indictment for those who try to make sure that the defense might see those documents and kiriakou is by the way the sixth person under the obama administration to be indicted under the espionage act so let all this just be a reminder to you of where exactly the priorities of this administration and its justice department really. hi guys it's time for happy hour and joining me this evening our team producer jenny churchill and artie's adriaan it was there all for all thank you for joining me tonight. ok so there is more drama in the media world without a doubt one that was with that last friday that we found out that keith olbermann

the prime trying to terminate actually it was monday maybe was not there and marty probably losing my mind in terms of feeling weak let along with hungry exactly but now we're finding out a little more some of the documents are coming out from the lawsuits and. basically even really think all that kind we're all that highly apparently of bank about me which is weird because when jake posted alderman's show on him with n.b.c. and filled in for him he had nothing but great things to say about. i want to thank you for letting me just goes on the show which has been critical to opening up a conversation in this country in the early bush years when we were in the wilderness both and wrote about a show that could challenge conventional wisdom and take on the powers in washington this is that show and it's been an honor to host the today in the house of olbermann built i'm jake you are cute will be back tomorrow night. very kind and gracious of jay but apparently. and gorman asked about the possibility of hiring

janko and said it would not believe he'd been we would be a good choice and he said that we had difficulty separating facts from things he wanted to be true and so basically he wanted to decline to be associated with him and that kind of weird because doesn't that sound like keith olbermann describing himself like he has a little issue like with reality hello world where it's pretty much like he's like the media equivalent of probably she we were talking about this earlier it's like. that like trial she didn't show up to work as well i don't know it's just it's really sad to me just being like a former fan of his time and again like him and dan patrick they seem like such a nice guy it's just it's really disappointing to hear that someone you really like and just go why bury people who were done some great stuff over the years and clearly this is your i mean to me this seems like it was just be more of his norm is legal yeah ok he's completely lost touch with reality and he's kind of in that

place in the world where you can no longer admit any faults or anything and everything is someone else's fault and he has to point a finger at someone and it's absurd because when jank last i met somebody see how he was you basically saying you know at the end of the interview over most likely will be calling you know like it's just it's actually dylan i don't know i think the young turks are actually something different to that you don't see on other cable networks and so if that was what current was trying to do by trying to have the whole reinvention in it's really sad too because all government's trying to say that doesn't get good ratings but it turns out at the end it was getting better ratings actually given out which couple thing is just. sort of i do like one thing which is that when it came to the response from currents they kind of fired back and said we hope mr overman understands that when it comes. the legal process he is actually required. ok. let's move on through our next

story which is well i just think you know a lot of kids look for in turn ships and what's a more prestigious internship especially if you want to work in the government than being interned for a member of congress or is one of them selling it you. then there were the district office for a few weeks but they were there. for a few weeks until the. oh she's so beautiful but you just twenty first century. for oh. well turns out i think there's three lawsuits going on or three separate former interned suits who worked on black swan who worked at harper's bazaar worked at the harley rose show but unfortunately there are congressional intern where you don't get paid or you work for nothing you actually aren't even allowed to sue you don't have the option of suing but i mean i know that it's not unusual the interns still get paid but it's really unfortunate because then it's only when the people they

can take advantage of having an intern. yeah isn't the argument that you get for college credit so that's like you're you know that's pretty much what you're doing it for yeah i mean i did as he entered chips like that and i think that there are situations where interns are taken advantage of and it's definitely people want to hire an intern because they don't have to pay someone to do a job and i think that's wrong but i think that there are other times and especially in the media business where you would not be given an opportunity to be in a real studio and learn the things you learn through an internship any other time it just wouldn't happen so it's time to listen these see it really is all about the networking when it comes down to it i mean i was you know capitol hill in turn and honestly i loved my time there but it wasn't like i was doing much in terms of you know like you know where they really are but it's in the same time of the same time i got to know so many people that by the end of it they were already asked me what are you going to do after you graduate well and do you think you're something is we

do you have to be in college if you want to be interned what if you already graduated you're unemployed and the only way to try to get in because people aren't hiring is that you have to force to take an internship it's what you pay that happened to me and i had to literally reenroll in college to take out. course for an internship to get credit and it was awful and there is credence to your argument before that is you don't have the money like if i hadn't had the money to pay for that college class i could have taken out internship and it really puts people on an equal playing field that's a thing right because as we said so much of it is about networking and the connections that you make while you are while you're there doing the internship and then from there on that'll help you get your foot in the doors and maybe what might be a career path and it's just not available so that everybody has and let's be honest with the congressional staffers you could have a sex scandal and become famous you never know you never know that will pay in spades obviously rush turns. out like we have time for our last story

you guys. i know well i was going to talk about the fans and you know how they try to put up a really friendly front but they're actually trying to sue now in vermont if lawmakers decide that you have to require all of g.m.o. food to be labels which you know why is this issue i just like camping's is in this country i don't want anyone telling me what to eat but i think i should know what i'm eating exactly my sandwich should know what exactly you know and even if i can't pronounce it i should know that it's. not either the most. likely one or with any that is all it has been ok guys we got a lot of things we're doing it and i think that's it for tonight's show thanks for tuning in and they actually come back on monday the reason foundation is anthony grandad's who is going to be joining us on our monday hangover panel and in the meantime don't forget to become a fan of the a lot of show on facebook and follow us on twitter if you missed any of tonight's or any other night's show you can catch all the you tube dot com slash the longer show and coming up next is.
