hi guys it's time for you said that it might take time to respond to my brilliance and engaging viewer comments from facebook twitter and you tube because you got me to say i listen now first i want to respond a viewer that washed our tool time from last friday which call that republicans were whining that the g.o.p. waged war on women is made up of three one eleven comment on you tube you left out possibly the most brazen anti woman bull of the week the bill scott walker signed a repeal of his constant equal pay for equal work law it was so many heinous bills that you probably lost track of them now during a sideman i brought up two of the measures that was causing governor scott walker signed last thursday bills barring abortion coverage through health insurance exchanges and requiring doctors to consult privately with women who are seeking
10:32 pm
abortions along with those other bills he did quietly signed into law something else as our viewer pointed out last week walker appealed to wisconsin law that made it easier for the victims of wage discrimination to go to court through two thousand and nine equal pay and force and prevent employers from discriminating against certain groups by giving workers more avenues to press charges and allowed individuals to plead their cases in a less costly than more accessible state circuit court system rather than just in federal court so not only did scott walker attack women's health by putting restrictions on abortion services he then also repealed wisconsin's equal pay law that's not a war on women i don't know what is next i want to share some of the some of our viewers' feedback with our interview with band jones from last friday i pressed him on his comments the libertarians quote hate the brown folk the gays the lesbians now here's bonded by saying that his comments were overly broad and his us had to say about it telling component to it it alone to show thank you for that telling
10:33 pm
van jones that disparaging speech is a cute way st joe johnson tweeted at us a lot of back pedaling by jones libertarians. called american dream etc thanks for asking challenging questions and. us an event jones why would he walk it back it's true libertarians just want feudalism so some differing opinions of maher viewers on that one but thanks you guys for all the feedback thanks for all the passion we're excited to have been jones on the show and rest assured i won't stop asking the tough questions now finally a note from a kind fan michael shields tweeted out it's just discovered your program and r.t. network keep at it a breath of fresh air contents drive and analysis so thank you michael i was love to hear people newly discovering the show so tell your friends spread the word and of course keep coming back that's it for my rantings today but i'll be back with more as usual peter wieck. well it turns out that the u.s. may have been arming and training terrorist organization right here on u.s.
10:34 pm
soil at the department of energy's nevada national security site and the group is the ne k. or the region. you may or mek recognize this name as a group that a number of former u.s. officials are working towards getting delisted and for which the lobbying efforts of resulted in these ads constantly playing on your television. it's a romance democratic opposition working toward a nuclear free iran founded on human rights unjustly listed a terrorist group and became just a victim a lot. of human. rocky. europe has to listed him. and in two thousand and ten a u.s. court ordered a review iranians u.s. lawmakers and former senior officials demanded listing secretary clinton for democracy and freedom in iraq do you list. and that's a good journalist seymour hersh wrote in the new yorker last friday that jay stock conducted training for members of the emmy came two thousand and five at the
10:35 pm
training and did some time before president obama took office and that training included cryptography communications small unit tactics weaponry and her spoke to a number of sources for this former senior intelligence official a retired four star general who advised the bush and obama administrations retired cia agent pentagon consultants and i make a defector and others so if it's true the next question we have to ask is why are the press with me is raising the russian research director of the national iranian american council or thanks so much for joining us tonight thank you so first our you know what do you think of this report is this something that you have you heard about this before and i think it's safe to say that most people in the u.s. government that work on iran related issues probably didn't know i myself in two thousand and six and two thousand and seven when i was working at the state department participated in the terrorists that nation review of any case status and nothing like this ever came up so but do you believe it do you think that it's possible i think where there's smoke there's fire and it is known to be
10:36 pm
a good investigative reporter so it's not something that's easily dismissible that being said it doesn't mean that you can take it as the word of god or you can take it as one hundred percent back at the same time so it's certainly a cause for concern and i think by her feel good about really making sure that it was clear in his piece that this was something that happened in the bush admin to. ration stopped when obama shortly before obama came into office but there still are some lingering after effects at least according to the piece that most people probably didn't know about and that's what we need to get to. before review that too because we've spoken about i think a number of times around the show right often it's about the fact that you have a number of politicians that are going out there taking speaking fees from them you know you might see these ads on t.v. all the time but i think that a lot of americans probably don't know that much about the m.k. about the history right about who's running it so you know can we can we run through some of it and do it of a breakdown of kind of explain why it is that they're on this list of terrorist
10:37 pm
organizations sure i mean a quick brief history prior to the iranian revolution of nine hundred seventy nine it was one of many leftists marxist organizations that worked together with other various political factions to overthrow the shah of iran after the revolution in one nine hundred seventy nine the current regime in power helped to expunge or worked very diligently to expunge a lot of these groups and he came clued in after that happened they started to assassinate regime officials they were kicked out of iran saddam hussein based them up until two thousand and three in iraq and in the iran iraq war from one thousand nine hundred ninety nine hundred eight they fought on the side of saddam hussein therefore they are deeply unpopular inside of iran mostly running people themselves fast forward to the iraq war the bush administration had a choice to make do you get rid of what is called camp ashraf in iraq where the enemy is currently based or do you maintain it and to utilize it as a pressure point for the iranian regime most of the bush administration thought
10:38 pm
that you should go with the approach of the terrorist of the terrorist and and discard these individuals but there were some prominent conservative officials that thought they would be useful use of the pressure point and that's where psychosis story comes in as i put this is right this kind of vicious cycle and a trend and a pattern that we've seen you know many times over with the u.s. i guess you could say it was you know. funding which you had here when it was trying to get them out of hand so they could fight the soviets because the soviets weren't on the side of america at that time and then who are fighting right now in afghanistan or if you want to talk about saddam hussein that was our friend that was our enemy at some point and you know so doesn't make it you know why don't we learn do you think that arming training funding that i make a is a good idea for u.s. national security foreign policy you know and i'm call i could take i can speak confidently that most u.s. government officials don't think it's a good idea but sometimes we have a propensity here in the united states to look at the six inches right in front of our face as opposed to maybe gaining things out two or three steps ahead
10:39 pm
particularly on issues of critical national security and foreign policy importance like the iran issue and i think neoconservatives in the bush administration demonstrated time and time again that that's what they did and that's one of the reasons why the balkans like the iraq war took place the obama administration has the good job of walking some about back but if there are lingering the cracks and lingering cooperation whether directly or indirectly with the u.s. has cooperated with the designated terrorist organization like i make a then that opens us up as the united states to accusations of hypocrisy and double standards and that more than most things we have where chartering a terrorist terrorist organization you know according to our resting on our own soil so there's a lot of you know there are reports out there too that if you look at the assassination of iranian nuclear scientists it was that b.k. that did it and that they were funded by the massage but then you also hear that was u.s. intelligence that was applied you know are they maybe not listing any cave because they're an easy pawn do the dirty work i think would be listening aspect of it is
10:40 pm
a bit murky when it comes to its connection or lack thereof with regards to these kinds of operations because on the one hand and u.k. was relisted year after year after year over the eight year duration of the bush administration and it's been relisted year after year since obama came into office so it might just be. you know if we're going to continue. to cooperate with this group directly or indirectly it doesn't really make a difference right there on the terrorist list because this was so close hold until recently this wasn't readily available information even to people inside the u.s. government but it's easy to say this is make a difference for those people that actually may have been doing the training now we do see an investigation that's been launched by the treasury department against some of these former officials have actually been taking speaking fees for them because if you look you know if supreme court rulings then if you provide any kind of material support to a terrorist organization you will be punished for it that's breaking the law and you see a lot of people get punished for a lot less you know because it's called national security and so you know that's
10:41 pm
where the part where the hypocrisy i think really lies because you think it's changing at all with this investigation we were going to have what that i mean going great was done a great job writing about exactly this point and i think one of the overarching points that he makes and it applies to the any case and more broadly conceived is that when you have these kinds of double standards when you open yourself up to accusations of hypocrisy and what you're really doing at the end of the day is weakening the overall national security of the united states because when people are able to poke holes in your arguments people who are less likely to follow your lead broadly can see if this is an argument that a lot of people make and i think that you know the obama administration really had a pretty significant mess to clean up probably conceived when it came into the white house but the bush administration had left it behind and the process of cleaning up those messes has been a haphazard process that they believe it's an imperfect science this is one thing where there is room for improvement and there's no doubt about the last thing i want to ask if you have any idea where all the funding is coming from because these people in speaking fees of tens of thousands of dollars to go to any friends we see
10:42 pm
those commercials playing all the time where someone from the great question and following the money is something that i think both people inside and outside the u.s. government i've been trying to do unnamed senior obama administration officials have said that the money is coming from the israeli government that hasn't been substantiated as fact but that's the best that we have right now our visa thanks so much for joining us tonight. all right guys i just want to take a quick moment to remind everybody to participate in our project to find out which congress person requested that environmental activist tim to christopher be put in isolation you can learn more about jim's case and how to help us figure out which member of congress is behind it on our facebook page and remember if you do find anything out that you want to share with us please e-mail us producer. are you one more break tonight battle with the back senator who often comes off as stupid on twitter calls president obama stupid on twitter and on happy hour should sex offenders be banned from holding underage kids online and according to the

10:45 pm
10:46 pm
comments last week saying the supreme court shouldn't overturn obamacare calling the possibility an unprecedented extraordinary step and in response grassley tweeted calling their constituents asked why i'm not outraged that pres of attack on supreme court independence because american people are not stupid as this x. prophet of con law yes a senior senator just called the president of the united states it's group it playground style and what might be even more interesting here in the adolescent name calling it obvious lack of respect for the office of the president is that this usually goes the other way around the republicans attacked democrats defending the judiciary there's a grounds he had to say about judicial independence and may of two thousand and eleven those who get their policy views enact it through the legislative process as our constitution requires turning to the courts but i flatly reject that notion the constitution vests legislative power in the congress not the courts judges are
10:47 pm
simply not policy makers. until you want them to be of course but that's not even why tonight's bull's-eye and when are the chuck grassley should be calling anybody stupid on twitter casey did know these tweets mostly consist of in comprehensible drivel and grassley insists on doing his own tweeting he loves to tweet and interview last friday is that it or explain why is tweets are like that which is in comprehensible he said it because of auto correct and because he didn't like to type out of course i had to make his tweet any less stupid and in fact it's quite the joke of the twitter verse but tonight it deserves to be called out on t.v. and we just take a look at some of these tweets here chuck announces he has a new i phone clearly he's traveling just a little bit and here are some examples of his nonsensical accounts from town hall meetings in iowa hash tag ninety nine county tour profit oakland college of ed uni
10:48 pm
students cond a very good variety of cues see these students you know we have great supply teachers or this is what has tag nine counties grand junction not colorado tell me issue help small town f. and f. many of thirty people expressed great distrust of term limits the state tops. i would say still check spell check and i know they can only put one hundred forty characters in but is all the abbreviation really necessary don't start his town hall town hall meetings we don't make sense either take a look at what he's had to say about democratic politics here's an almost coherent rant against the pink slime campaign says don't be swayed by mis info campaign against a lean fine textured beef say for twenty years i hate it or how about this berry barely literate to eat in which you suggest that labor could cure america's childhood obesity epidemic obama your farm child labor rules are in conflict with
10:49 pm
michelle ost child obesity program family members working on their family farm fight obesity and who could forget grass these micro grants i could for history channel out all the light up points about its lack of historical programming the tweets are so hilarious here's a couple complaining about or there are a couple complaining about x. in mud cats and how the channel should change its name yet when he recently tweeted about a favor historic of book of his he actually praised bill o'reilly's killing of lincoln book now as the one who is banned from the ford theater bookstore so perhaps you should apply history engines historical standards to his own library and then finally grassley silliest problem not exclusive to him are the one letter tweets check these out. you see it furthering the notion that his beat is written by an unstable bag lady so i would suggest the grassley direct the schoolyard taunts of the president or somebody else but for someone whose natori is for looking stupid on twitter to call the president stupid on twitter i think all that makes chuck
10:50 pm
grassley tonight's told time where. ok guys it's time for happy hour and joining me this evening our team producer jenny churchill and that is the money roll calls her down the hill reporter hello girls. all right so you know we talk about this all the time everyone likes to throw a lot of money around in d.c. when they want to get their way and netflix is no different in fact they've really stepped up their their money again lately. the amount of money the company has spent on lobbying has dramatically increased over the last few years during the second quarter of the year no so expect one hundred ten thousand dollars on federal law being that's up from eighty thousand dollars during the first quarter of two thousand and eleven that's up from just ten thousand dollars one year ago
10:51 pm
furthermore two years ago doubtful it was conspicuously absent from the d.c. lobbying game. all right so they've been lobbying a lot more lately but look at what else they did netflix has created a pac called leaks pac and it's designed to support anti-piracy measures in washington and the candidates that favor them and basically netflix i think we should be pretty sure of what kind of staff they're going to be in favor of because they need to be supported so they just try to pretend like they were neutral and really have a stance when everybody started freaking out about it yeah i mean it's pretty ridiculous that they would even pretend to not be for so bad so obvious about something that they would be for because if they're not for so bad then how are they going to you know work with these companies and it's so i might have misunderstood i thought they were totally and that we were and then they try to i'm only saying like i'll well you know we're not really taking a stance on so but you know they had already written a formal letter supporting and i feel like any time you put something in writing
10:52 pm
that's pretty much where you're going to stand and once you are writing and like legally. walkabout i just wonder if there's going to be lot of netflix hate out there now because they're not you know it was already loaded netflix turned into a lot of netflix hate because they raise their prices by like a couple dollars and everything and you know but now we just know they're going to for anti-piracy measures well and i think that's why they kind of tried to come out and say that they weren't explicitly for so it was because they saw the backlash when they decided to raise their prices by like two dollars and everyone lost it so they were like oh no well we can't be on the wrong side of this but now they're coming out and putting tons of money in newark have to lobby and i think it's really fascinating that they were doing no lobbying two years ago well. it made me nervous when i found out about that because then i'm wondering if there's going to be blockbuster happen. is hulu could i mean that a little bit are you breaking the law on why do you want to start the packers
10:53 pm
because the cable companies have pacs and they're in a war with the cable companies right now over streaming video and all of that everybody there and everyone you know to try to pin both their let's move on to something a little more fun. basically this is a new business and it will start up in las vegas because they're going to go there to party and what do you do when you have a horrible hangover hangover heaven will send an i.d. equipped bus to you to give you a quick recovery here somebody tried it. the hotel i'm pretty sure about some. pretty pretty ridiculous and i don't really remember much when i did the treatment . it's a cool feeling. feel great. feel refreshed and feel crisp. cold singly i just think it's the best idea ever know
10:54 pm
the last thing i want when i'm on the strip in vegas is to be like oh stranger please and needle into my arms my best stuff works better than when i haven't actually done it but i'm really hung over and they just get the idea that there is really an early in the last novel. you know the guy who wrote trainspotting so you know anything about the guy you were spouting is probably something not to do but anyway there was a doctor who had a problem and this is how he got over his rough night she would. say if if he. can get a pick me up from an i.v. why not rational. i think angry. you see in action you seem to be have been in action. just that was i would call it heaven. ok. we'll be talking actually laughing. ok let's talk about diabetes. so much
10:55 pm
and basically. the white house on their website they're trying to tout how much the versity they've brought to the courts in the u.s. you see right there and i think as greg sargent over the managed to take this which is that the president's accomplishments on helping minority justices and the high courts they include openly gay federal court justice the first latina justice female justices a vietnamese korean and chinese descent and then the first disabled justice and so everyone's wondering who's the disabled just is and it turns out that because sonia sotomayor has diabetes they've included her as a disabled justice so apparently that's a disability you know well. i don't know technically can i really did her ability i did to. call from then ok and these are your shots and so i just have trouble with
10:56 pm
them saying that they hired someone who is disabled when they have a disease and if it's not if it's not you know impending their ability to do their job like diabetes becomes a disability when the effects of it become so great that you're not able to do things you would normally be able to do like if you're just saying oh well they can't eat sugar or whatever they want to will then i have celiac disease i have a disability congratulations you employ someone with a disability it's ridiculous. they don't write she's nineteen of those countries. and we want to share something about myself. let's talk about her old dog hillary clinton you know she's current a little bit from the past about her fashion sense here's tim going on about it. she's the secretary of state she's the former senator from new york she's a pole the first lady. she dressed that way i think she's going to use a bigger gender all these big baggy pants were tailored socially really.
10:57 pm
all right so there is a piece in. these kids talking about how hard it is to travel when you're a female statesman whatever because you got to look good all the time when you're traveling all the time and so the fischel state department official said that they're trying to get rid of hillary clinton's scrunchies they want to ban them i think it's tell me i'm just going to go you know i didn't walk over there i knew with high support hillary and her scrunchy are very she's going all the time i mean i all the time i was there having all the time i was going to make it with her. i am the last person around the planet who can criticize hillary first grandchild wearing because i have you know been accused of a lot of the same things she has as far as myself from be out of a you know grandma so i say go for a never ending are not your insight today jenny. i'm not going to cast the first stone all right well i mean i agree i think scrunchies are kind but if your whole
10:58 pm
dog was. ever well very you know wearing a skirt she probably what i did i don't know but it's good fun having this country party with you. and i'd say oh thanks for tuning in and make sure you come back tomorrow pick her up there it is dr you've been rejoining us for half hour and in the meantime don't forget to become a fan of the auto show on facebook and always on twitter and if you missed anything it's youtube dot com slash the a lot of show and coming up next. wealthy british scientists like. dr explicitly. type. of.
