2:32 pm
untying too because it's not in their interest right being rather keep a blind eye keep receiving campaign donations from wall street and pretend like this whole system is just so complicated that nobody can properly fix it so they'll just keep arguing over regulations for years and that's because the more they stall the longer they get to hold on to power and the richer they get their next comment comes from samantha spade who commented on our mainstream it which we called bertha risen from yemen kill list to seven and kill is now on hulu that's where she commented she said in reference to the kill list please shut up no really please just shut the hell up thank you in advance samantha spade and you know what all i can say is this has become a very typical response amongst americans these days which if you ask me is why we have a kill list people would rather not hear about it out of sight out of mind i don't want to know and i think that's part of what's kept our war in afghanistan going for ten years that's was allowed the president to kill american citizens without any due process because people who are lazy and impressionable they believe our
2:33 pm
officials say don't do any research on their own to see how often those statements by our officials contradict reality and that's what breeds this kind of attitude so if one day you wake up your civil liberties or god half the world has turned against us because of what people like myself been warning about and it's finally come true and you all start screaming about it i just might tell you to shut up too because you refused to see it coming and for our last comment of the evening my fellow afflicted said on you tube i remember watching photos some years ago thinking i was learning something i graduated from that m.s.n. b.c. thinking i was learning something there now i've progressed to our team and can honestly say they don't know better than this alone oh you are the bomb dot com well thank you so much for all the kind words are always have to get new viewers we hope everybody out there spreads the word so don't forget so your friends so they can now watch us on hulu and if you don't know we're taking the show on the road to netroots nation in providence rhode island this week so maybe we'll see some of you
2:34 pm
there my ranting tonight we'll be back with more as usual later in the week. now if you're planning a wedding in canada the cost of the entertainment just went up she recently the copyright board of canada announced that if you plan on holding a public event and playing music at that event you're going to get a bill for it starting on october first of this year the board is going to charge fees to everyone from circuses weddings parades and even fireworks shows so if you're having a wedding reception if you've only invited one hundred of your closest friends and family your music fee is going to be nine dollars and twenty five cents for the day if you couldn't couple is down if you have under three hundred guests it's going to cost you twenty seven seventy six for the day oh and then if anyone is dancing you're going to have to double that cost in your budget yes that is the truth dancing will cost you twice as much then there is karaoke bars they're going to have to pay up as well bars are going to be expected to pay up to one hundred twenty four dollars annually for allowing their drunk pager insisting friends in
2:35 pm
low places and as for parades well that's going to be four dollars and thirty nine cents per float now over the last year we've spoken time and time again about copyright piracy legislation here in the u.s. things like cispa sopa pipa and of course the one secret multinational act agreement and we saw these new fees out of canada and we couldn't help but think that it wasn't all that far fetched that something like this could come to the u.s. of course the size the hollywood lobby the r.a.s influence in congress anything done here would be sure to be bigger badder and totally ridiculous so in an effort to be prepared we put together this short p.s.a. . the copyright police are coming for you they could get you here. man but a block. or here. i
2:36 pm
don't even like this song or even here oh i have to film the show to facebook. to you my job. but don't worry there's still one place where music can be played free of government see fav if you will. these pieces. of division. jenny churchill was not harmed in the filming of that p.s.a. not too much at least but hopefully we'll never have to actually buy ad space to actually air that p.s.a. but unfortunately i can't totally rule it out seems like every time i turn around there's a new law being introduced in the name of stopping piracy because the music industry
2:37 pm
is suffering so much from it i don't even get me started on the insane anti-piracy ads but then you have to ask ok where's the proof how much is piracy really hating the music industry take that's a north carolina state university study conducted between may have two thousand and ten and january of two thousand and eleven they found online piracy of music actually correlated with increased album sales and that's not the only study out there to make that argument but it looks like the lobbying and whining from hollywood is paying off at least in canada for now because the money from the fees will be collected by a not for profit agency called resound and the money they collect will be given to those poor targeted performers and music labels. i'll still to come tonight after exacting countless amounts of information from the books of former government employees who are trying to blow the whistle as cia is finally facing an internal investigation so i was skeptical in tonight's bull's-eye and unhappy hour one of
2:38 pm
miss usa contestants try to argue the process he would as a very powerful role model for women and he won't believe what one doubts man did with his dad kept. a little. older. live little. girl's mother a little touch. of. the speed. of. the local. able to mislead.
2:39 pm
the a. mother. of. very little. right. from time to mention.
2:40 pm
don't come. all right guys it's time for tonight's tool time award and tonight we're giving it to an entire government agency as we all know the cia is in charge of our country's international intelligence apparatus and they're always on their toes when it comes to issues of national security but have they at times overstepped their bounds played favorites with declassifying or classify and declassifying information now i would immediately answer resoundingly yes but this is the question of the senate intelligence committee wants answers and in fact some of its members of sent a letter to the cia to find out why so many books written by former employees fail to get published now the washington post is reporting of the cia's publications review board is facing an internal investigation as to whether its screening
2:41 pm
process actually just keeps negative criticism away from the public and the p.b.r. doesn't just make decisions regarding former and current cia employees writing also they make decisions on pieces from x. and current f.b.i. and state department employees now i'm happy that somebody has finally decided to look into this but i can't help but ask what the hell took you so long this has been going on for a very long time and it's a topic that we discuss at length on the show all the time we've had several guests on to share their stories about how the cia publications review board has quassia their efforts to put a spotlight on the truth and a lot of these stories aren't hidden either simple google search will give you the answers but since they're going to take forever after. like they're coming at this investigation completely cold but we thought we put together a little cia censorship best up to help them with their investigation see back in september of two thousand and ten we first met retired lieutenant colonel anthony shaffer whose book operation dark heart was about to be burned to keep any
2:42 pm
classified information from reaching the eyes of the public about what a failure the war in afghanistan was. and the focus of the book is the tipping point where we want from what are you losing based on the fact we recognize that point in time the taliban were rolling back and we need to do something to stabilize their efforts in pakistan. doesn't sound too crazy right now initially tony's book actually got the greenlight then later the cia removed from mission for the book to be published at the last minute citing over two hundred parts of the book were revealed as classified information and then they would all fahrenheit four fifty one and burn it ten thousand copies of the book but tony situation isn't unique we've also spoken to peter van verite whose book face the chopping block after he spoke ill of reconstruction efforts in iraq and his book was actually released but it was to say that he definitely had to deal with some post publishing state censorship the state department took away a security clearance confiscated his diplomatic passport and eventually moved to
2:43 pm
fire him and how about ishmael jones the agency officer turned author also found himself in trouble in the cia took him to federal court over breaking his secrecy agreement for publishing his book the human factor but he claims he didn't share any classified information he was simply punished for failing to follow proper protocol as he calls it. this is up to q. your law the cia is using as you mentioned there's no classified information being exposed and they're not accusing me of exposing any classified information they're just accusing me of. not following their bureaucratic procedures and they use this to their they're using secrecy which is intended to hide our agent's identity and they're using now to hide the waste of taxpayer dollars. now the cia seems to make a pretty clear play by their rules or you don't get to play at all how about john kiriakou he's another former cia agent facing charges about him trying to trick the review board into letting him include classified information in his book the
2:44 pm
reluctance by something that he denies there's also ali soufan a former f.b.i. agent who said that his book the black banners receive the f.b.i. stamp of approval but hit a wall when the cia wanted to redact comments from public hearings on capitol hill and details on the cia's interrogation tactics and who funds book also points out how intelligence overlooked some key factors which could have helped to maybe prevent the nine eleven attacks the agency knew that this could operatives in southeast asia flew to america or they have visas to come to the united states and somebody decided let's not share that information. now the case is a van buren kiriakou ishmael and shaffer all have something in common they all criticize government practices in some form or another so keeping that in mind let's remind you of the recent book published by jose rodriguez called hard measures how aggressive cia actions after nine eleven saved american lives this member by the former director of the national clandestine service spoke openly
2:45 pm
about cia torture practices and the book even earned him a spot on sixty minutes where he got to brag about it all the dietary many palatial was part of these thirty six so sleep deprivation dietary manipulation i mean this is orwellian stuff the united states doesn't do that well we do. so he spoke bluntly openly about how the cia waterboard and starved tortured people but when someone like ali soufan tries to write a book criticizing torture practices his information gets redacted but not rodriguez's so playing favorites i think of the cia has made it so very clear if you're an insider willing to say something negative about them or any other government sector you're probably not going to get too far but we the people should have the right to know what they're doing behind the curtains on behalf of us and again so many of these government or defense programs have been declared national security secrets we can still go to google type the words into the search bar and bam you've got all the details at your fingertips it's classic u.s.
2:46 pm
government hypocrisy at its best here like when obama openly speaks about how he gets the big bad guys of the drone strikes but that if you try to inquire and get more details in court forget about they're going to they're going to label it as classified and as a state secret as long as they can and when whistleblowers put their safety reputations on the line to make sure the public actually knows what happens they get slapped with an indictment because the governor would rather keep on perpetuating lies so forgive me what i say that i'm pretty skeptical of this internal review which by the way nobody knows who's actually going to be conducting it seems more like the cia just wants to get everyone off its back and keep the senate intelligence committee quiet but we've learned not to judge a book by its cover if you'll forgive my pun so we're fighting against transparency while pretending to be the good guy with this investigation we're going to give the cia tonight's tool time award.
2:47 pm
time for happy hour and joining me this evening alone a show producer jenny churchill and comedian primaries. hey guys hanging. this first story ok so obviously there have been some really scary gruesome horrible incidents happening lately that of you know made people ask if there's a zombie apocalypse starting you know not only was there the face eating incident there's this guy canada or somebody in maryland as well there's been some really weird stuff going on. but apparently i don't then try to make a joke about zombie apocalypse coming and make a video about it as this russian guy who lives in miami learned to take a look. at
2:48 pm
. ards love is one part of it but eventually the video somebody actually tries to almost gets shot i think it was right at the end of that clip one of the guys who are. going with. don't joke about being a zombie now i mean you absolutely should not joke about being a zombie when you've got organizations like the c.d.c. the center for disease control putting out warnings of what to do. if a zombie apocalypse should happen it's very serious so i don't have those kind of crazy the c.d.c. actually had when it was. like this is the point that we've gotten to people are obsessed with as i. read the thing and he was he was warning people not to do this . job because. i would think most people were just kind of it's kind of a no brainer that you don't dress up like
2:49 pm
a zombie like common people to think he's running out of people in florida in miami where the guy but the other guy's face it's the same city i don't know i would be concerned and actually i have to say you know from what i've seen on my facebook timeline i had one friend saying that they hope the zombie apocalypse comes to kentucky because they've always wanted to beat someone with a baseball bat so i guess it's good he didn't do that there either so now we're just going to have a lot of crime. a crime wave out there we're going to blame it on zombies this is the only discrimination story. i guess you know in terms of becoming a viral video let's move on let's move on to this was miss usa miss usa pageant was on yesterday and n.b.c. and just take a listen to what miss ohio said when asked this question. do you think women are depicted in movies and on television in an accurate and positive. i think
2:50 pm
it depends on the movie. pretty woman. time but you know it came out. and how he didn't let anybody thing in here. i have all movies would you take pretty woman. white oh yeah that one where that prostitute is so likable that the man decides he's going to keep her around for a while i think not yet a you can't really the problem is they ask them these questions like every year a beauty pageant contestant says something insanely stupid and michelle stop asking them questions it's like not their strength right you know they don't realize it is whatsoever really i mean they don't have like a swimsuit competition for final jeopardy because this make any sense you have to have your audience there should just dance around me and i think that's not nice to say that all the girls there are you know they're probably not all but there's always going to be listening. to these and they're totally including the section
2:51 pm
just because they know that one girl is going to provide a gem and also is it required that they answer every question like such as yeah such i think you're going to save you a wreck yeah i feel like ever going to get blooper from these pageants i've seen starts with such as you know it's going downhill i don't know i have the same coach . answer the questions and you guys don't think that julia roberts is a role model and he's a very classy prostitute. she doesn't kind of them oh i if you're thinking of like a role model care fraud you just you know the boss you know that way nobody gets hurt and you know actually when i have a daughter i'm going to be like you know i. just want to show you that maybe someday you can be like this woman dare to dream about. this is. ok so this is dutch his name is bart jansen and you know before we were joking about the talk. that was supposed to be that some people thought was
2:52 pm
a joke but this is called the oroville copter it's supposed to be a piece of art and. basically it's his it's his stuffed dead cat dog. again. thank you. i'm not i mean i think that that is actually the perfect device for the government to enlist to document and spy on the zombie apocalypse that's happening down in miami ok a dead cat i don't know what. this is what would have happened if like if the wright brothers workout lovers that smoked too much weed we would be driving everywhere and they would have kiddie copters flying around i mean i wonder is this
2:53 pm
something like animal rights activists are angry about because that is exactly like our animal rights activists upset about attack that you're going to go on and only be like stuffed animals like stuffed animal i have to say though i saw this and i thought you would do that and then i remembered that a few weeks ago i was thinking to myself why don't we have a taxidermy cat because i need it first. always all these weird things that come out of your novel i don't want to have that problem so we might want to contact him and see if you can get us to be honest about orrible or bill copter well it's it's on show at the art festival in amsterdam for anyone who's interested. and. let's move on so you have to ask whether sometimes you know people take it a little bit too far when you worry about sexual predators i mean there are a lot of people that have for example these charges on their record for something stupid they might have done as a kid they want to flash somebody and then you're like a sex offender for the rest of your life but so listen to this this is a scottsdale man who's claiming that
2:54 pm
a barnes and noble bookstore discriminated against him an employee forced him out of the store because he was alone shopping and he was a male and he was in the children's book area he's seventy three years old and he said that like there was a female shopper there too but no they basically they kicked him out and he said men cannot be by themselves in the children's area and you got to be i have to say there's no way they would let brian and the children i was going to. as a person of mustache. that's one of the top of my character malvo one of our just going so far that he did the right thing he's there trying to get you so you have you know every moment of the story matter you called we believe we acted appropriately i mean i understand that you have to. you know try to tread lightly and be careful but at the same time was so this means that a man can't go and buy his daughter his granddaughter you know never any you know any kid as a president i look i've had
2:55 pm
a problem with this ever since the day i was turned away from a chucky cheese because i didn't have a child with me all i want is a piece of pizza and i you know i think it's ridiculous it's not my fault that parents don't watch their children so now i can't well not me but if i was a man i can't be alone in barnes and noble because people let their children one run wild in the children's section what are you going to use for pizza it's good talking to you speak so it's good that's actually kind of good memories but like i said for you you obviously have bad luck because i went through a check each one time in college and it was just my friends and i we were all of college age we had no children with us and we were away ironically this was around the same time that there was a flasher at the border in the vicinity might have been if you're going to have problems with thinking back and they were the same time. are you should you should read the review our last story to read let's move on arcane it will do this the other week we play this clip i don't think we have time for it now jonah goldberg
2:56 pm
basically going on about young voters how he thinks that it's too bad that the voting age is eighteen we should do we should bring it up talking about how young people are just inherently stupid and he said that socialism is to be beaten out of young people either literally or figuratively and so jamie kills his co-host a citizen radio basically wrote this whole article it's up on why he wants to fight him and jamie although he's a vegan he also you know he's a fighter he does a number of forms so i kind of would like to see this go down. yeah i'm all in to bringing back modern day duels i think we throw a gun in there and make a real interesting i have a prediction it is going to i think the loser in this fight between a comedian and a political columnist will be anybody who pays to watch a fight between those two you'll run out of breath from thirty seconds comedians are fighters are going to need to jamie actually a fighter in a real fight ok we've got to wrap it up because we're out of time thanks for joining me tonight that's it for a night show things are spinning and come back tomorrow we're going to have greg
