but you love the show shortly but the headlines now from moscow where it's ten thirty in the evening russia says the people behind the latest massacre in syria want to ignite full scale civil war activists say more than two hundred people have been slaughtered and with the army and rebels trading the u.n. security council remains deadlocked over how to stop the bloodshed. overseas funded nonprofit organizations operating in russia are to be classified as foreign agents under a fresh law. passed the new rules tougher scrutiny. red faces in the london olympics organizers are forced to call in thousands of british army troops. just days before the flames emergency deployment comes after a private contracting for can't provide enough cover this buy them and pay hundreds
2:31 pm
of millions of times. when you're watching r.t. . all right so it's thursday and that means that it's time for our team web producer andrew blake to talk tech to me now we've got some really fun and some kind of creepy wife i stories for you today new york is going to be making good use of their old broken down pay phones all this one other guy he wants to let cockroaches run all over the place with a wife i think not the are smith is being shady trying to cram sopa like provisions down everyone's throat and andrew is taking a little trip to a hacker conference so he's going to give us some details on what we can look forward to said joining me now is our two web producer andrew hughes both creepy and weird in that intro before describing me. you know if you pointed it out. i
2:32 pm
wasn't going to say it myself. ok so this is kind of creepy thought if i may be cool things we've seen in movies are coming to life i don't know i'm assuming it probably a lot of our viewers out there are fifth element fans but i think you won't forget this bit. it's going to sing that you're eboli flossed interrelation a few hours she has the stones with her. and we have to do was going to get. so much. maybe it's not that long until we actually see those cockroaches doing that there's this guy defense contractor who works for opcodes point pleasant new jersey he will who is doing this actually doing little more than it's very bad and we are you tell me what if you took a bunch of a bunch of cockroaches which is also because they're all over d.c. so we should come down here we can give him some money he can try it out on us and he hooked up little radios microphones and all sorts of circuitry to these little
2:33 pm
bugs and the plan is you send them out into a disaster site so you sort of you know stuff cockroaches in there pick up sounds on the microphone then they take it they transmit it back to the radio go someplace else so it's quick he can actually do this yet or this is all just part of the plan right he's working out here before what i read these little packs that they put on the belly of the cockroach way like half. the weight of the oh yeah but i can't i mean i know they you know their mortal but they can't be that strong i mean i just assumed they were like ants but i did really bad in science class so you know i figure that will just catch wind of this and the whole thing will be over soon as they realize that it's like cockroach torture but i mean in theory it's a great idea that cockroaches are going torturing us and telling you. are you. ok i predicted you know that when they're torturing us they will be able to transmit electronically and worthlessly so at least it'll be cool for what i understand the
2:34 pm
guy got eight hundred fifty thousand dollars from the army to play the cockroach i mean it's not that hard you can kind of these devices are getting smaller and smaller every single day like cockroaches least the ones in my house there are thirty you got to know very little sickly if there was a natural disaster or you know they're saying that if people are stuck down in a mine there's been an explosion and it is really cool that there might be this by sending a little bug down and they can transmit videotron i wouldn't even say it's going to be a possibility this is going to happen and it will be used in all the great it's about telling shouldn't really be that much of a surprise yet until it you know creeps into your apartment and records all your conversations and they were talking about. nothing wondering story so yeah you never know where they're going to send out the little cockroaches like it just seems to me you know maybe it's a minority report it's happened or too many other story is that new york has thousands thirteen thousand payphones and forty to sixty percent of them are
2:35 pm
out of service and so banned wagners this company that's actually just turning the old payphones into free public wi-fi hotspots and they're just starting the temptations that so i mean it's cool but i mean maybe you live and what are you skeptical don't know who they want to make this for all right so and and if you're like me and you're an idiot you break or lose your phone constantly. you can't always afford to go out and buy like a nine hundred dollar replacement that's how they get. sprint bastards anyways so a couple weeks ago i actually needed a payphone to do the whole hard is to find a function again you're out of instead of putting the wife i hear why don't they actually just give people phones again they were very like there's a reason there's pay phones everywhere in there they're phasing it all out and yes all cool now i can be able to pick up internet on my laptop anywhere i am because i think it's just more of the separation between between rich and poor it's more of
2:36 pm
that wealth gap and even if you don't have whatever latest gadget it is there will be no public services out there for you i feel like it's kind of cool but how often do you connect to a free wi-fi network and it's actually usable and workable you can actually do anything on it and the sense is in new york city i'm sure bloomberg will find some sort of thing wrong with so it's cool thing about it is going to be unhealthy and therefore it will not be allowed to leave it as long as they don't get rid of the estate the aesthetic of the old pay phone booth is going to parallel from three hundred feet away it's going to provide why if i use a military grade antennas but let's move on just real quick because i want to get these last two subjects lamar smith is your what if you're now what is it. so actually i could show you because i had this on my desk yesterday so this is this is that that piece of crap that you tried to try to give us earlier this year and this is not so this is the intellectual property act. that's fancy pretty much he took one of the crappy parts about so he took the part
2:37 pm
that says that the u.s. should be able to send people into other countries to force and keep an eye on intellectual property laws that in the last pages section two hundred fifty of soap was dead so he took that last literally the last pages so put a new name on it and is trying to get enough pages on yeah well i think this is a bigger font. it is just cramming. the last part of resubmitted under a new name so if it gets through all it just means is that the us would be able to send people into other countries in police their ip laws which should come as surprise because that's the whole it's a good way to. do it or else yeah but this one of the have a cool name yet. if we need some sort of campaign intellectual property had to. do it guys don't do it. really quick to tell us how we're doing this week and. i
2:38 pm
mean are we doing this in. the hold in a. container underneath a greyhound bus and headed to new york city later there is a austin convention starting in the morning actually depending on if you're watching this live world friday morning in new york city hope packers on planet earth i believe it's their ninth year it's just big convention people come in from all over the world and they give speeches. they promote you do what we've been doing every week when i come on and talk about this stuff but they do a much more eloquently and they actually have some sort of brain now hey now oh no i'm just speaking of my own behalf i got yourself well i mean but so lots of cool things happening this weekend in new york city at the hotel pennsylvania starts in the morning i think tickets are still available and what are you going to sell a just tell us what we don't get is why don't you give and watch r.t. if you watch the stuff that we do that you don't really see other places there are
2:39 pm
a bunch of people who are an expert on this stuff who are talking about like they're going to talk about distributed denial of service attack going on and off from you when you come back and i got to wrap it up but thanks for talking tech to . our guys it's time for our last break that evening but when we come back the media trade association is fighting it very hard against transparency and the internet tool time and why katie couric. on a rocky billboard by now on happy hour and here blake will be on again with comedian ryan shot to discuss that in the. culture is that so much a moment taxpayers' money mentoring is a show me a lot of people are hearing in my brigade this most recent financial scandal gives the term bank robbery an entirely new meaning i mean if you ation of whatever it is the largest you can. nearly a billion people in the world are going hungry every day. in the united states even
2:40 pm
our trash cans are filled with food you just have to go get it all of these perfectly good eggs because one was cracked didn't even get all over the other ones just threw them all the way up and choose from the german oh you know we really like the upper crust. from the dumpster at one am this morning three pm this afternoon on the grill the cake is made from and one dozen dumpster egg whites. and delicious breakfast for the families eggs and toast for about a week every year in america we throw away ninety six billion pounds of food. there hasn't been a thing yet on t.v.
2:41 pm
. it is to get the maximum political back. to the source material is what helps keep journalism on the we. we want to present. something on. our guys it's time for tonight's tool time award and tonight we're giving it to an organization that you think will be in favor of transparency if you the national association of broadcasters they've been engaged in a months long battle with the f.c.c. over disclosing information about political ads political ads like these. i'm mitt romney and i approve this message i'm broke obama and i approve this message when a president doesn't tell the truth how can we trust him to lead it remedies for.
2:42 pm
helping companies outsource their trade treats including china. some said our best days were but not. for us and today our auto industry is firing us. now the battle now have anything to do with what's included in the ads or rather how much super pacs are paying new stations to air the ads seen april the f.c.c. voted to require mainstream media networks in the biggest fifty t.v. markets to post political ad data on the web that data includes details like the times of the ads aired how much they cost and whether stations rejected requests to sell ads to political campaigns information is already available people who go to their local station to get paper records but they have c.c.
2:43 pm
and understandably so wants to help inform consumers by demanding that they be available via the web as well for the broadcasters association well they've been fighting this tooth and nail when they first heard about it they begged the f.c.c. to water down the measure they also tried to question the f.c.c. as author already to even make a regulation like this so because the f.c.c. recently set a date for this to go into effect which is august second the industry group filed a motion on tuesday with the u.s. court of appeals in d.c. to block the rule so this motion says the broadcasters would suffer or suffer irrepairable harm because the rule excuse me compels television stations to post the prices for specific advertisements to a public website immediately after the sales occur and goes on to say that the f.c.c. is engaged in arbitrary and capricious decision making by disregarding the competitive harm at this is likely to result. so frankly their argument is really lame anybody is really going after the f.c.c. because this rule could expose just how much money they're making off of shady
2:44 pm
influence peddling like c.b.s. c.e.o. les moonves said in april super pacs may be bad for america but they're very good for c.b.s. and he wasn't kidding moonves estimated that his media outlet would rake in one hundred eighty million dollars from political ads and other media watchdogs are suggesting that the m.s.m. will really bring in somewhere between three and five billion dollars that's no chump change and it's free press co-founder robert make me explain this influx in citizens united ceric citizens united arab campaign spending we have news networks collecting all of the benefits twenty years ago the average commercial television station two or three percent of its revenues from candidate ads and they actually had local news coverage on their station today the pentagon the street and it looks like the average commercial television station these fifty big market network stations were given they were from fifteen to as much as thirty percent of their revenues just from political candidate ads and they're doing far less coverage of
2:45 pm
politics whatsoever so we're giving none dated with name advertising and we're having very little journalism what little journalism we do get tends to be just monitoring the ads and sort of cheering the mom. so the networks get to do less work reporting on politics meanwhile they're making record profits off of political ads that is a huge source of revenue no wonder they want to keep those details under wraps but what really grinds my gears is that this trade group is trampling on the founding elements of news reporting which is transparency these channels are supposed to be informing their viewers not keeping them in the dark so it's no wonder that a tuesday gallup poll show that americans trust in t.v. news is an all time low just twenty one percent of americans say that they have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in t.v. news that number is down from forty six percent in the early ninety's but obviously cases like this show that the media throws values credibility out the window if
2:46 pm
their profits are being threatened so for showing that mainstream broadcasters care a lot more about money than they do transparency and for neglecting their duty to inform we're giving the national broadcasters association tonight's tool time award . are you guys it is time for a happy hour and joining me this evening are two web producer andrew blake and comedian. hey guys they're going to be here any we sure yeah i've already had enough for the evening you know this is. a very always excited but it certainly looks like we're going to be doing a lot of olympics stuff as the as they come up thank god because it's never on t.v. just has to stop it ok that will come on the people that don't want surface to air missiles on their building on the roof they're building i totally understand that and i thought they had a way to see it so we're going to talk about our time lately everyone's been
2:47 pm
talking about the olympic uniforms which you asked me to really for economically i don't know why we would have ralph lauren do it as if everybody is preppy in america not true but fox and actually friends is. really upset about it the other day because they didn't like the berets take a look at that. american athletes dressed in these outfits with the braves all the big question though is should the american team be aware enough. why not baseball why not a cowboy hat like we had when we went to calgary. for a third year you wherever they were apparently this is the first time they did brazen two thousand and two and they like instantly sold out so i guess money making venture you know i was going to say i can't believe that that's what they talk about on t.v. but me saying that you were like one level. let's recall that happy hour and they actually try to claim that it's like a morning news show well maybe because this has to be the first time the fox news
2:48 pm
has complained about making something look more militaristic than it was before the braes i mean you know the funny thing about this though is that they're complaining that they think the braes are too like frenchy right they're playing with a little french music in the background turns out the uniforms are made in china. really thought they were going to call it that's all there was i thought i was going to go great tell you a little something rights group try that again without the pause so we're already ready one two three turns out the uniforms are made in china. but. no i don't think it's a little funny that we had our olympic uniforms made in china we can't even do that in america i think the brazil goods or whatever probably got a really cheap great use of money for something else perfect done. much money they're going to be charging people to buy these olympic uniforms that is really expensive to charge people to not the athletes but then people want to buy you know like fans of the people that are olympic athletes want to dress like
2:49 pm
a live yeah because they're their fans national heroes for athletes high quality chinese made goods two point zero you turn that down yeah i mean there's like a big opium smuggling ring involved in it too i bet you that. that last last olympics story. over doing for the evening is there something that people love about mcdonald's we spoke about his going to a lot of fast food at the olympics. the reason we are here we can't just get paid millions of dollars to make the guards. look at this we can make donald is the only restaurant allowed to sell french fries at the london olympics and that's like within like
2:50 pm
a specific enclosed area you know no one else is allowed to sell fries but then they decide to get a little generous and they said ok other people can sell fries but they have to be accompanied with fish so that it has to be fish and chips you can't just sell fries only be done i was going to correct you because i'm maybe a bit more cultured than you and yes they do call them chips to me but it seems like a stunning act of on a c. on the part of mcdonald's with the acknowledge that like look are fries are great like it's generous approach to do it but like the rest of our minute menus just horrendous like we can't force that upon anybody else you know they'll just be like just give us our fries or just leave us the one thing that we have actually had my first mcdonald's for probably a decade the other day pretty good. soul delivery system it's really it's one of me yeah so i have no complaints whatever. i just messed up but ok well you should certainly have pain take that to move on. when we start
2:51 pm
a petition for you i don't really care that much for. let's take a look at this billboard i think we have the picture of it so this is a billboard in iraq just got this smiling picture katie couric on it and basically people are saying that maybe this is the iraqi government's tactic to get people to be patient about the fact that they are out of power right so this is like on a daily broad new broadcast about what's going on with the power they just put this picture up of katie couric with her pretty smiling face. i don't want to control your show but i'm already doing that but can you get the image back up there that's ok that's ok we can as i don't like the grateful dead scold the butt of. the first. maybe not because there's no it's all ok even though it's going it's implied it's money as well be there will be a lot of it in the wrong direction you know fatty c. which i really feel bad would you be like oh i don't have
2:52 pm
a power outage but her and so it's ok it's all ok but i just like the katie couric is like the iraqi government's version of the fail whale in the scenario just you know just delivering bad news and having your image on the poster somehow makes it better smiling and smiling blond woman make everything better. ok how about this blond woman then in the case kate upton she was on was a sports illustrated that she was recently the cover girl she's also some congressman like niece or something like that. and there's web site out there called gossip that wrote a hate post about kate upton talking about how she looked really fat and it was really horrible talking about how she was lumbering down the runway like there's a buffet at the end of it and they called their well marbled and they said is this what american women are striving for and now the lazy lard you look. at that actually what you are of the faith if you say this is a pro web site i don't know the how that means the pros getting
2:53 pm
a website because there's like not enough representation out there for skinny people obviously you're not following my inspiration hashtags on twitter but they actually had that line about there being a buffet at the end because. i mean i don't agree with them that is the rub when you need to hire those writers for the sure hope you're going to get it but it is a pretty bold attack strategy to say that kate upton is somehow unattractive it's kind of like being like that one guy in the vietcong that's like you know what guys you know we need an air force. exactly so this is a natural analogy to make i was going to make that analogy but i was. calling it is this is my. god there you've got some guys think that it's not i would yeah i don't think those comments are to single male gaze you know. put it in and ask if you would ok ok this is a family program you know. i actually had no way i mean because i'm
2:54 pm
soo cultured and know with all these things about french fries overseas i'm actually. going to be huge loser but had no idea who she was before like ten minutes ago but now i know and then apparently on every t.v. screen when this you know i don't i don't work so straight it seems that if i don't get a t.v. sorry if you don't read this word illustrated swimsuit issue is what happens all right let's move on. to an alien story shall we so this comes from a briefing from one thousand nine hundred ninety five in the u.k. british government officials it's now been published by the national archives and so the british government believes this of the some officials believe the aliens might visit earth and suggest harnessing u.f.o. technology for u.k. defenses so this is a quote from one of these officials says if the sightings are of devices not of the earth and their purpose needs to be established as a matter of priority there's been no apparent hostile intent and other
2:55 pm
possibilities are one military reconnaissance to scientific theory tourism. obviously right there's some cool stuff seriously the aliens most just be visiting or into because of their talk with yes i'm. in the universe i don't know kind of seems like the department of commerce in the u.k. is going to look desperate just like sleeping in the briefing you know it's from maybe ninety five though i mean it was about what was happening in ninety five why would the aliens i mean i guess why would they be talking about you know not why would the what was it ninety five the aliens would really want other than life to violate the new jim blossom cd and make like bill clinton oral sex jokes that was it was it right i bet monica lewinsky is a good reason to come see earth ok time yes what do you expect are going to. make sense if you put it like that maybe it's really the u.f.o. that came down here planted people like kate moss on the planet they brought in the
2:56 pm
whole hair when she and that's why now kate upton it's back to some people eating french fries she bought it. after she bought chinese version. oh i like what you did there can we keep it going. nine hundred ninety five is there another scenario right here nothing for me ok there is another story girl power story which we were not the perfect people to talk about it with but the number of women running for congress this year is higher than ever before according to research all right i say who do they have good ideas though not that just like in general i haven't looked at all of the candidates yet we're wondering within our team if maybe that's because of the you know very restrictive abortion legislation that we've seen being passed through state houses and legislatures not sure but school girl girls or rather they do things sometimes at school i mean do it i would we're done here ok. thanks guys that is it for tonight's show thanks for tuning in and make sure you
2:57 pm
come back tomorrow jim hansen is going to be on the show for happy hour and in the meantime don't forget to like the a lot of show on facebook to follow us on twitter so describe to our you tube channel and don't forget you can check us out on hulu as well coming up next if the news. she's good leverage or. was easy to build on the most sophisticated which really doesn't give a darn about anything tim's mission to teach creation and why you should care about humans and. this is why you should care only on the.
