10:31 pm
it is time for you said it i read it or i take time to respond to our brilliant and engaging viewer comments from facebook twitter and you tube because you've got something to say i listen to our first comments and comes from tim davis who responded to our main stream this segment yesterday about a song seeking asylum on facebook he said good point of the m.s.m.
10:32 pm
only pays attention to a story with sex in it but after watching the whole show in which the segment appears maybe you're doing the same thing now i'm assuming the referring to our happy hour panel last night which all it meant was full of sexual innuendo but i disagree with your point clearly if you watch the rest of the show we don't only pay attention to stories with sex in them we just choose to lighten things up at the end of the show with a few but most importantly we do not glaze over the real story when there is one as in the case of joined us on to only focus on the sexual aspect this entire case raises a lot of questions about whistleblowers free speech the press and we never hear the m.s.m. bring up those issues when talking about a song because a case like that much easier for them to be sensationalist about now our next one j.k. sonny commented on you tube about another part of yesterday's mainstream miss he said a lot of you're a bit mixed up here all the media attention on christie you mentioned it was about whether or not he would be running for president and had nothing to do with the
10:33 pm
v.p. slot if you needed an example of a non b.b. pig sucking up all the media coverage your best bet would have been hillary in two thousand and eight and you know what i happy you pointed this out yesterday because you're right i misspoke and talked about chris christie in terms of will he or won't be b. will he or won't he be v.p. what i really mad that there was a frenzy asking will he or won't he run for president so thank you for your correction but the essence here i think is still the same spending hours days and weeks making a story out of somebody not. not doing something come on guys and now our last comment jr tweeted this to us about our interview with chris hayes this week tweeted out the loan to show the long form interview is great the dinosaur media would never do it but it's what a more tuned in audience creates so you know we got a lot of great responses from this interview from you guys i'm happy you enjoyed it and you know we always like to give people more time to talk so we can go more in-depth on the issues on the interview with chris was way longer than usual i still feel that it was necessary so that's it my rantings tonight but thank you for
10:34 pm
your comments as always only back with more next week. and the creeping use of drones in the united states something that we often discuss on this show from law enforcement to surveillance from finding missing people to the taco copter and of course the privacy concerns that come along with there are definitely pros and cons to employing the technology here at home but ari moving ahead too quickly without considering the consequences now at least one government agency definitely appears to be in surprise surprise it's the department of defense last week steven aftergood editor of the secrecy news blog posted in a report prepared for congress by the pentagon and a study identified one hundred ten potential sites at the military wants to use for drone testing at military installations in thirty nine states across the u.s. course the defense department already tries tests drones but they are increasing use has led to push for more available air space in this report said quote. operations conducted outside of restricted warning and prohibited areas are
10:35 pm
authorized only under a temporary c.e.o. a certificate of authorization from the f.a.a. now the c.e.o. of process is adequate for enabling a small number of flights but does not provide the level of air space access necessary to accomplish the wide range of u.s. missions a current and projected operational tempo this constraint will only be exacerbated as combat operations shift from abroad and systems return to u.s. locations well. only congress took heed of this request because earlier this month in a defense budget bill the senate armed services committee asked the government to haste in the way that it approves of drone flights outside of military airspace and that came after president obama approved a lot of february ordering the f.a.a. to integrate civil drones into the air space by september of two thousand and fifteen but another news report out there suggests that the military being maybe a little too gung ho about this according to bloomberg the military's three biggest roads are the most accident prone in the entire air force northrop grumman global
10:36 pm
hog and the more famous general atomics predator and reaper drones all three of had a total of nine point three one accidents for every one hundred thousand hours of flying the global hawk has been the most accident prone while the reaper has been the least faulty of the bunch of a combined accident rate is more than three times the air force average so just last week we saw one such accident just off the chase of big bay in maryland involving a two hundred thirty three million dollars global hawk we had a call from a mother that said so on her there was a drone. in the river. so we looked around. about twenty minutes later helicopter came by it. was like it was looking around but. we continue to shoot. now back to actually hurt or killed somebody the pentagon would have had a lot of questions to answer it's clearly not an isolated incident either and the
10:37 pm
truth is a problem be the last and in fact according to one expert there are bikes industry even has a name for systemic errors and that name does not inspire a great deal of confidence. now sometimes she will say ok when things don't work out with your robot it's just a moment and that's actually what present one of the robot company said it's just a moment when things don't work out with a robot well sometimes groups moments are kind of funny other times moments can be tragic last year in south africa and any aircraft can and how they quote software glitch instead of firing up words during a training exercise it leveled and fired in a circle it killed nine soldiers. now so far we've seen our fair share of accidents or hopes moments mishaps and other unplanned events and last fifteen years from last september the air force has recorded twenty nine accidents involving the predator the reaper and the global hawk so would you want the military test flying
10:38 pm
drones in your backyard probably not but what should be said here is a drone accidents have declined over time peter singer the expert in that last clip that we played he noted in the bloomberg piece the accident rates have declined as technology improves sixty two point zero six military drone accidents occurred in one hundred thousand out flight hours in fiscal year two thousand and one and by fiscal year two thousand and eleven there were only five point one three drone accidents per one hundred thousand flight hours so technology shouldn't be more widely tested testing is always good but the thing is that the military should proceed with caution it's a problem that could cost taxpayers dearly in the future and one that i have those close to the military bases watching the skies. oh you got one more break tonight but up next is told time and believe me you'll want to buckle up because this one is taking a way down the rabbit hole and on happy hour tonight is piracy really the thing that's causing all those horrible pop songs and take it out of your head.
10:39 pm
there hasn't been anything yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. before the source material is what helps keep journalism on the we. we want to present. something else. more news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporation to rule the day
10:40 pm

10:41 pm
our guys it's time for tonight's tool time award and tonight we're giving it to somebody who is so anti obama that he's just grasping it afterbirth straws at this point arizona's secretary of state can bet it comes from a place that just seems to end up in the news for all the wrong reasons whether it be ridiculous legislation about immigration women's reproductive health or even a lot of stop an alleged un conspiracy called agenda twenty one and believe me the list goes on here this state is lately been one of the most misguided in the nation and benny isn't just the number two guy in arizona under governor jan brewer he's also taken on a new role as co-chair for mitt romney's campaign in the state do you think that maybe that was the case he'd be doing his best to try to keep some of the insanity under wraps but it turns out he has it in march he pandered to the birth of a crowd all pretending to be a responsible state official just trying to make sure the election is fair to take a listen. i'm not playing to the parkers i'm not
10:42 pm
a burglar i believe the president was born in hawaii or at least i hope he was. but my responsibility as secretary of state is to make sure that the parts in the sauna are correct and that those people whose names are on the ballot have met the qualifications for the opposite they're seeking. pleasure say that it didn't take too long for him to walk back those comments he received verification from hawaii just days later and apologized after he was ridiculed for buying into the burger hype and then to through new thought then maybe maybe he might have learned his lesson ten is bad or with a bang this time he has a whole new theory about obama and this isn't so good you guys got to get your tinfoil hats on now i know there's a lot of people that have a lot of. are very skeptical as to whether the president will want to live personally i'm simply the ones. i actually think he was thinking about being born
10:43 pm
in kenya when he was trying to get into college and doing things like writing a book and on and on but i think he has been one and a half or two million dollars through attorneys to have all the college records and all of that stuff see him so if you're standing money to seal something that's probably where thank you thank you what's going on. ari do you guys get it so now obama wasn't born in kenya he was born in hawaii but he said that he was born in kenya to help him get into college i'm so glad that he cleared out what up but there is still a question that the secretary needs to answer here where the hell did he come up with this idea nobody has ever seen a dash of evidence the talking points of a suggests that apparently this is becoming a popular new twists with some burgers out there that's actually quite amazing if you think about it the crackpots are failing of proving that he wasn't born here so they try to distract by turning obama into the original burger so is better the further despite his new found in ailes think the video tells a different story americans deserve better. than this we thank.
10:44 pm
you ms word. it's a numerical oh i think you're right. thanks we're all in. the. pandering to the crowd a little right but the reality is that he only drives his investigation into obama's birthplace when facts prove his theory wrong and so then i have to move on to the next mutation of birth or is it and i'm sorry guys but i've had enough look everybody here is a copy of the president's birth certificate if you want a closer look go to the white house website in the meantime going back to the real question why is this even an issue why does mitt romney keep on benefiting from it he tries to distance himself from the burgers but not that much because he still gets people like donald trump and ken bennett why does he just denounce their theories like mccain did in two thousand and eight when he criticized the secret muslim ideas it's the g.o.p.'s way of making sure that the least of the vote of the
10:45 pm
crazies in the racists i mean their base come november and it's all just a done distraction from the real problems that face america but arizona secretary of state seems to think otherwise so for his contributions to the arizona crazy and for taking the obama brother issue to a whole new level can. that it is tonight's top time winner. ok guys time for happy hour and joining me this evening is r t correspondent christine friends out and greg rock social commentator for man on the street d. si dot com thanks for joining me guys absolutely we heard. your last on the show today i got a few comments from my list appearance of the like maybe i should maybe get a get out a little bit or much of these i think of the viewers alike that is mean that
10:46 pm
sometimes we listen to what they actually have to say. they like you like your we like your feedback when it's not you know perverted moving on. i love mother jones did this today and so they decided to we were we're all big game of thrones fans around here i know a lot of people that working mother jones are two and so they were just wondering you know what would it be like if there were super pacs in this fantasy world for a game of thrones goes on where everybody is fighting for the throne of in the meantime and here's a clip of one of them. she says she is the mother of dragons who would you trust with your eyes. was a maniac she powder around with rocky terrorists the city of coffee kill them and. then she lost three baby dragon after placing them in the. books and. wants to be queen of the seven kingdoms
10:47 pm
kind she trusted in there was. wrong for dragons wrong rome. i mean ok they would have been cooler if they used video of obviously there's copyright issues here and they did what they could with what they had but also shows a lot of those super pac crazy ads don't always use video and sometimes you use like the weirdest you know still shots and sort of manipulate the color of the so i thought it was sort of played on the ridiculousness that we sometimes when we talked about like burger ism with with king jaafari where is the i was there is it all right incest and then they had another body another one about rob stark and i was the coup this guy in the north but how he really can't defend them are you game of thrones fan not at all i've never seen. that there was out here on the show thing which is going to make any comments i make just completely fantastic right. back think i'd just like to go a step further i just wonder what kind of like
10:48 pm
a voting franchise might they would have in that time period if it would basically be sticking people with swords while they're waiting in line. or a lot of behavior that would make us feel like we've come a long way riker and i'm much more civilized behavior and be able to vote course not probably no i don't vote anyway because if you know everybody's is fighting their battles and they're claiming their stakes to be around so i guess you know where it will live not it was about i'd say if i love the king joffrey one of us though i'm with you there i don't know why that made. one for stan as for wrapping in and mike the red source rig the smoke monster that came out of china that could've been tomorrow let's move on. well guess what so couple weeks ago we railed against mayor bloomberg because he wanted to ban thirty two ounce sodas in new york and unfortunately fairly other cities out there think that this is a good idea. the mayor of cambridge has determined that it's a good idea to follow mayor bloomberg sleeve and she wants to be at large sugary
10:49 pm
drinks as well and actually they're going to tell you what you can eat it almost every meal and they're just going to limit almost every aspect of your life because this is what you see people do these people wake up every day waiting to just day and six. i kind of feel the same way people i mean though i understand that there's like a fight against obesity that we need to have but i still fundamentally disagree that not allowing you to buy a large soda is going to be you know i think the most significant part about this story is it's in the city of cambridge which is home to harvard university the place where students drink so as to stay up all night and study i think avail. let's be honest i have some other tricks up their sleeve. but good point good very innocent point i mean the fact that students need a lot of eeks are going to riot. i think is another case of trying to protect the people from themselves i mean if you think about trying to solve a behavioral problem in greater boston right ok so you know the place where people
10:50 pm
drink too much they get funny what's the problem high fructose corn. rid of every want to walk down the street hand in hand with people from new york they'll be no problems and yeah they've been drinking they'd lose like half of their they want to go so far. yeah i mean i just think that it's kind of crazy that you have to start like sixteen ounces nothing larger than sixteen it's really not that as a guy who's kind of in shape but also kind of out of shape i don't need any more competition in terms of like talking to girls playing sports like i can't have everyone on this planet be in good shape he was going to leave me everyone doesn't really get it as it should be more uncomfortable than right now. because that's where. oh i don't even know where to begin with this woman but we do a lot of you know piracy stories on the show time after time we've seen study after study come out that shows the. in fact there is a direct direct correlation between people that like to preview material or pirate
10:51 pm
material and sales like the more that you get a taste of it the more you're actually going to go out and buy become a consumer of these kind of products but this all of this one is good so her name is kelly and lynn vol and so she wrote a piece for the guardian she's a professional songwriter and musician and she basically blamed the state of pop music on piracy her little expert says. could it be that instead of creating a more level playing field than opportunities for say a new nirvana or smashing pumpkins to break through piracy and the unwillingness to pay for music is creating a self-perpetuating conveyor belt of cookie cutter pop stars. i can't you know you can't just blame bad pop music on piracy not to mention that there's been bad pop music for a long time way before people were you know she's of sanofi the bay city rollers right or anything else from the seventy's that sounds pretty much like what she's talking about i mean she has a point in that the internet has done an incredible job of democratizing crap right
10:52 pm
it's easier than ever i mean how many there's twenty four hours of you tube videos uploaded every second like pretty sure we don't need all the. but her overall argument is that it has to do is make some or is a no no sense because if everybody can just upload their crap including their pop music crap on the you tube that doesn't mean that you know giant record labels are getting behind them and you don't have to have that whole system. to play and so then that just makes no sense because then why would the record labels be looking for actual you know talented i think it's actually a band i think she's actually like the wife of a member of a big time band that hates piracy and wants to blame it on you know get something i was married to one of the guys in metallica those are fun people. i would love the timing of the story could be better i'd love to see this show and in a fight with the girl from n.p.r. that admitted that she's only ever paid for fifteen albums and she has twenty thousand songs on. if you saw that i did not speak she wrote a whole book. yeah exactly so that's would be an excellent undercard for the next
10:53 pm
takio for those two. you know i can't say that i know you know when i was younger everybody definitely downloaded their music it's just that i was going where there wasn't the option to download music. when i was young there was a music. star trying to not go to i want to go to lied to this next story which i just find hilarious i mean so obviously one of the critiques that we hear a lot about mitt romney is that he's boring is a bit of a robot here that has kind of a good example. this is. the way a solo the first. part of the show. well turns out that not only is he boring when he speaks but nobody wants to read about it i think this is hilarious mitt romney is bad for internet
10:54 pm
traffic basically buzz feed decided to create two sets of like. photo heavy posts focused on the early lives that romney other early wives of obama and baby obama just blew a baby romney away i think it was sixty thousand views for baby photos of obama and only six thousand four for views of for baby photos. and how many people that were looking at obama photos were actually looking to try to see if he was actually like in africa or something in the background well that's the thing is that he gets people going to romney is you know boring that you don't even and i guess maybe that's that the better that kind of cookie cutter image i mean there's will probably be known as the obama effect sometime in the future this country is going to have a really hard time going back to a boring white guy in charge now that we don't have one i think of how we were in two hundred thirty whatever you. should be able to do the math to do exactly how many members might look like i know
10:55 pm
a lot more but i mean it's true i mean he's screaming you know on the best case for electing romney right now because it will probably have to go outside more and have something to do because. he's also listen to be. firing words of wisdom no i mean. what are going to be like if we never had the old white guy president again would be like a new new shadow government is like what do we have a pretty oh the guy we mean the guy with the baseball glove name and something else i mean his presidency would be like having a twenty four hour network dedicated to how i met your mother. i mean it would just be boring white people talking about boring white people things all. night long again is pretty bad but then you always have to you know kind of protect yourself against this. the charm of obama because that when he does charge everyone's pants off and the policies are not exactly what i call charming or broke a lot of promises not charming by any means let's move on to this probably the last
10:56 pm
when they were going to have time for but. so this woman you know a lot of people are just getting fed up with the t.s.a. we've had a lot of people film and they don't touch my junk and a fifty nine year old woman from bonita springs florida was arrested at the southwest florida international airport and she was charged for misdemeanor battery for allegedly groping a t.s.a. supervisor and she says here's a little video that she was just trying to attempts to demonstrate the inappropriate groping that she experienced at the hands of another t.s.a. transportation security officer. i mean it all i think all the more power to you you know i mean i i i don't know i think it's one of those situations where you got to say don't hate the player hate the game you know what i mean like this don't like the supervisor even though. they were forcing the rules of the system i'm sure some of them get a little heavy handed though you know i got to i got to groping and i think the
10:57 pm
woman was a little rough well we i mean we all listen nobody really likes g.s.a. right i mean we all know it's a problem it's kind of the appearance of security as opposed to actual security this woman first of all it was a pretty big move she just got signed by the redskins i mean this is the squad. but just the. the aspect of this it bugs me is that every time you go to the airport you've got one person barking orders and six people standing around like they don't know what to do there's a they don't need that many agents i mean that business plan works for the teamsters starbucks but it's not so great for national security or for t.s.a. i'd last time we were flying back through philly from net roots there were people there were just sitting in the hallways telling you we're like turn right just to make sure that you didn't turn to sharp and fall over was the biggest wave i mean i got to wrap it up because we got on the show like ten seconds thanks for joining you guys that's it for tonight show thanks for tuning in make me back tomorrow if you're less ronnie colic and mike elk are going to be joining us for happy hour and in the meantime don't forget to like you want to show on facebook follow us on
