3:28 am
it's an a.p. stock image of two alaskan women who married atop the empire state building last year out of love the irony there of course fox quickly realized their big o. and quickly put a more shall i say on and big u.s. photo op now you've got the man pants on the female in a dress because they were too nervous to put real humans up just in case they happen to be gay again thanks for the laughs well it's great that step. remember that bill that had so many activists up in arms about a bill that had all the potential to change the internet as we know it well tomorrow congress will be reintroducing the cyber intelligence sharing and information act better known as. the controversial bill is word for word the same as its predecessor which failed to be brought to a vote in the senate last year despite protests and backlash against the implications this bill could have on privacy tech giants like google and facebook
3:29 am
support the legislation arguing that would help bolster their defense against cyber attacks now it's just a passes it could potentially allow private companies to share your private information with intelligence agencies and at the d h s so to discuss what we can expect from tomorrow's vote on this controversial piece of legislation i'm joined by our two web producer andrew blake what's going on. you know we've got to get to substance back up slightly ok i don't mean to correct you but tomorrow is going to big davis that could be huge and it's not going to be a vote. tomorrow what are you are going to do though is they are going to reintroduce like you said essentially the same thing that was brought up last year and created this huge backlash among advocates who are saying like this well we'll get to in a minute but this bill doesn't have many fans yet still managed to pass the house and it's going to be reintroduced tomorrow it's going to come before a vote most likely during the next couple of weeks and once again we're going to be back in the same battle once again fighting over this talk but let's talk about
3:30 am
that they go to their correction and you know it's a very very big of course and i think a big danger with the bill is it's so big at the language is almost like the n.d.a. were really the broad implications of who can be deemed a cyber threat i mean what are the real implications for our privacy here i mean right now there aren't any wonder when this went through the house last year a lot of civil liberties groups kind of stood up and said hey wait a second before you put this crazy information sharing bill let's make a couple of men and i said yeah exactly you know they went you know went through a few times to try to figure it out and then it just stalled because so. couldn't agree on it but you know here we go again and the to authors of reintroduced it without those amendments so we are looking at something just as harsh as the first time around last year there aren't any of those safeguards there yet will they be added probably but it doesn't do anything to change the fact that this is still happening we're still going to look at this bill tomorrow we're going to hear about it going to be told that it's unnecessary and then this whole cycle going to start all over again right it's at least you know we have a couple hours before they unleash it on us and let it rest rest well tonight what
3:31 am
also bothers me andrew is it seems like we're given forty eight hours to just galvanize this whole you know galvanized resistance to this bill and of course i'm expecting for something like this to happen based on the fear mongering that we're seeing toward robert miral or obama saying that we're supposed to encounter the next cyber pearl harbor by nine eleven and cyber anything yet it's. all going rather well i don't have an audience here this is a gauge to the cyber war is that other countries are writing hit by hackers from iran and allegedly happens from china these are real things and we're also hacking these places where you are sending cyber you know what do you send it to cyber don . we're screwing around with with with around this is this is what actually makes me skeptical is that unlike a real terrorist attack the government can just say you know we were hit with a cyber attack and now we're going to pass this legislation i mean it's so ambiguous and really they can say anything and use it as a justification to push through really harsh cyber legislation which we know that
3:32 am
they want to do but talk about who's who's resisting where you should actually really good because it's weird that there's a reasonable congress could have a reasonable suspicion about what you can gauge in on line you can use that in order to pass this crazy bill that's going to make sure that the government and private companies can share everything but when it comes to people and what they're actually doing and you know whether or not you can with this person other person there is no reasonable exception of privacy when it comes to how the government looks at them they don't need any suspicion they just go ahead and say no we're going to go ahead and ok but yet so did the thing that separates just from bill. so police are actually growing backlash was. insist there's actually provisions that are in there so that when these third party businesses when they share information from the government they are let off the hook entirely they don't have to worry about any crazy repercussions any you know any damages that happen from all the sharing of personal personal identification information that they don't have to worry about it and all its going to do for them is say here here's info on a cyber attack you share with someone else it has a cyber attack that's great it's
3:33 am
a win win for them it's just happens to be when the lose for the american public the winning being ok here is a new step in preventing a massive cyber attack which could united states the loses you lose all of your prime right i mean these giant web giants like like google or wikipedia i mean they were actually they're looking out for their profit margin and so by they could actually lose profits you know yeah i mean it with this but they're like arm you know you know the last year when cisco when it came around and around the different months a lot of people signed up for mozilla though the makers firebombs they were one of the only mean silicon valley entities to say we're not going to do this this is bogus think about it but i guess that was the law but you know it's all going to start again tomorrow we're going to hear idle complain but in the grand scheme of things in the room matter all that much because president obama is expected either tonight or tomorrow to unleash a new cyber security executive order which is going to mobile find out when it comes out but it's not what is this you're going to have to talk about this executive order that ok so obama's been saying ever since this both failed like six
3:34 am
seven months ago what has been working on a cybersecurity executive order they've drafted a whole bunch of different visions it's made its way around the web we've all seen it at least different additions of it and it's just going to put the necessary safeguards in order to start building the sort of blueprint for this massive cyber security infrastructure that will protect our security structure of the united states government and all of its critical businesses so what the white house wants to do is they want to pick up where congress couldn't last year with and just kind of give them like a like a boost up like hey here's a step go ahead start working towards it so that's what's to come out tonight or tomorrow. but in protest a very very sane members of anonymous are planning to wage an attack tonight on the obama administration specifically because the white house is ok with putting together these are difficult orders which come from from no outside debate and you know congress is going to try to spy on us again after months and months of the day that harry interesting we're not learning anything so right will will definitely be interesting to see what happens tomorrow thanks for keeping us updated on your blake one producer my pleasure margaret.
3:35 am
one thing that saddens me is the lack of funding for space exploration it seems like ever since we went on the moon we close up shop in space shifting our money supply from universal exploration to earthly death and destruction never ending wars drones the list goes on and on that's what brings me a small glimmer of hope to learn about people like lauren rojas the twelve year old california girl who took the daring initiative to launch a hello kitty doll in a space per school science project should inspire by something as simple as a commercial of a balloon launch of the sky and thought hey if they can do that why can't i after pitching the idea to her teacher the teacher said she was blown away by the church twelve year old ambition and creativity so lauren along with the help of her
3:36 am
father's spent the next month planning and executing the project they built a rocket ship gondola complete with a small video camera to record a hello kitty space journey and ended up reaching an altitude of ninety three thousand six hundred twenty five feet before the balloon burst in fact the project is being judged today and lauren school science fair between you and i and if she might win so good luck lauren and thanks for being my inspiration today so she's the hero who's the villain how do you live in the gay areas of both san francisco and d.c. and not being gay myself i sometimes forget how bigoted other parts of the country are when it comes to l g b t rights stories like this one never sees to amaze me in indiana multiple students and parents are campaigning to have their local high school throw a traditional prom by traditional i mean one that bans gay and lesbian students from attending similar to schools in other states that offer racially segregated
3:37 am
proms still but it is great to know that there are still parents out there setting forth such good old fashioned family values you know like bigotry and intolerance. sadly aside from students and parents there's also a special ed teacher from the same school on board with the initiative and she is special indeed her name is vienna medley and she's one of the main proponents of this festival of ignorance just look at how she looks you would never think that she was such a blue venus and dogmatic extremist this is what she had to say when she was interviewed about the issue. it was a choice that she made i don't believe that they were boy born that way i think that life circumstances made them choose that i think god made everybody equal and i have kids come to me because of their sexual preference and they know i don't agree with it but i care about you in the same thing for special needs you know god puts those people in our life for different reasons you know if a gay person do you consider that maybe they have some sort of purpose in life you
3:38 am
think it's just. i don't i personally don't i'm sorry i just. i don't understand. according to miss medley gay people don't have a purpose in life and this is all coming from a special ed teachers like i'm supposed to understand patience and tolerance more than anyone oh one of my favorite algebra two columnist dan savage chimed in with his thoughts he said quote students with learning disabilities have a hard enough without getting stuck with a mentally challenged special ed teacher take a look at the condescending hateful smirk that spreads across her face when she was asked if gay people have a purpose in life and an imagineer gay kid in a special ed class and this hateful bigot is your teacher you know i'm sick of people like deanna medley reuse their religion to advocate bigotry i don't bet my life that this woman doesn't rally against war torture or adultery which to me i
3:39 am
mean are there more serious sins than being gay nope she just obsessed with gays had to really to spend all your free time and energy rallying against something that has zero effect on you or anyone else. ok like we see so far check us out on blue at hulu dot com slash and break into the set there you can watch the latest episode of breaking the set like yesterday's show it just happened to be our hundred episode check it out and also scroll through and watch every show we've had in the middle of december so those who favor us and calming fare when do we not blue dot com break in the fat and let you take a break from my preaching for now but stay tuned to hear about the h.i.v. epidemic and how it's being blacked out by the corporate media next.
3:40 am
i never knew adam lanza person but i was in the same high school as that he was younger than me just a little bit younger. i always thought he was different i always into something funny he rarely talks and you don't he was a shy kid. i don't know if anyone was friends with him i also don't know of anyone who's particularly mean to the what i do know is that it was very clear that this person was not like everybody else. can imagine the level of mental illness that would be present to murder children. america's you know so when you go on this there would be an american behind every tree with a gun. i think for kids growing up in this environment is good for them at an early age to see the gun and respect it because they need to
3:41 am

com you. look like a good if you've never seen anything like the tallest so. last thursday was national black hiv aids awareness day you know there's educated many people about the disease the rate of infection for members of the black community hasn't gone down instead it's increased in fact if washington d.c. were an african nation it would rank twenty third out of fifty four countries in the percentage of people with hiv in the district seven point one percent of black males are infected which is an intensely disproportionate figure in relation to other demographics signaling a clear sign of an ongoing epidemic but you wouldn't know about by watching the corporate news today that's where thirteen percent comes in it's
3:44 am
a locally produced documentary addressing the media blackout on the thirteen percent of americans that constitute fifty percent of the world's new. aids infections check out a clip from the film. that was given grace to the mainstream media about how they cover any news that gives. because we only seems to cover it was a lovely thing to cover when something negative happens i was so them to get out there and talk to people who actually have the virus i think that's another place where we go wrong is that we want to talk to the experts the doctors the nonprofit organizations the government officials but you're not talking to people who actually have the virus and they're the ones who can speak about it the most. so here talk about how this epidemic is affecting the black community and why there's a media blackout i'm joined by our joan the film director and founder of dream factory thank you so much for joining me are looking so art this is
3:45 am
a staggering statistic statistic that i didn't even realize how did this become so disproportionate that fifty percent of new age hiv cases are happening right here in the united states the first one was the reason. the expert filmmaker and i got interested in doing this project because of. pressure that was put on me by another filmmaker friend of mine when i came back from overseas and he had gotten information from the c.d.c. indicating what the numbers were like in the african-american community and i thought because i was out of the country that this was being made an issue in america and i came to find out that there was almost no media coverage about this and none of the major filmmakers out there would be doing anything that addressed this issue and when i did research on this i discovered that one of the most telling films that came out in two thousand and six that was on frontline had a full approach hiv aids was called the age of eight it was i think
3:46 am
a six hour three part documentary that in that documentary the coverage of african-americans and aids affect them was less than three minutes. how what how is this happening here i mean especially the african-american community i mean why is this community sleep such a disproportionate number being affected from our research we what we've discovered was that going back to the outset when it first began to do was about five people that we discovered in l.a. that was reported to the c.d.c. those were all kasian males mostly in san francisco there was another that was discovered those were all white gay males and the media coverage around that time was almost exclusively focused on this white gay male disease in fact we used to through it when time called greed gave really the. immune deficiency and for about two years with this whole focus on weight gain i mean what was happening at the
3:47 am
same time was this was impacting the african-american community and i just like e-mails but for those who i.v. drug users but across the entire community this was having an impact with heterosexuals with homosexuals with very street lease people who are mothers fathers. brothers aunts uncles cousins and we unfortunately in the african-american community was not is particularly in this issue or on this issue as people like larry kramer and those who lead a creative act up in some of the very active groups that drew attention to what was happening in the white community do you think that almost the media frame it in a way that it only is affecting gay males maybe didn't cause people to be as aware as they should or take proper precautions because it was being framed in such a way that it wasn't really affecting those communities that it really was i'm sure that a lot of people who heard some of the early reports by tom brokaw and some of the
3:48 am
others were thinking oh this is a white issue i don't have to worry about this because i'm that way and i'm not gay it's not an issue for me or when it became a drug user issue and that way to make the amount of drug use that is one point three was zero boat people coming from haiti they were the ones who were responsible for bringing it to the united states all of that was iranian why are we hearing that media why are we not hearing about this issue now why is the media kind of standing green this issue it's a growing epidemic i think. as with the civil rights movement in the one thing since these in the one nine hundred sixty s. what attention to what to the plight of blacks as it relates to housing in our housing in employment in education was because they were people who were in the community who stood up and say we need to address these issues and there needs to be a change me. typically when someone is in crisis in an african-american community as well as to please that the pin to go to when they are looking for support is either
3:49 am
the family or is the church in let's be honest most of the time those who have a leader who have taken the leadership of the mantle solution on social issues have been the church most of those in the clergy who are not politically crazy about talking about this. in a way to see it as a human issue it was those who. were living in immoral lifestyles and there were risks that were catching this so they would damn by the black clergy they were asked to size you marginalize you were kicked to the curb so to speak so there was not a whole lot of discussion or momentum built around this to create the kind of ground swell of support to bring the political economic and social. elements that were required to bear to make this lucian and let's talk about that we only have about a minute left unfortunately but what can the u.s. learn from other nations that are really tackling this disease interesting you should ask that because as we were doing the research with which we got to the film
3:50 am
before we shot the film we look at we have an issue here in the united states of america but what's happening in other parts of the world where this is where other countries have had similar issues but they were able to effectively reduce the number of gun in one hundred. thirty seven percent of a slightly ahead. by two thousand and five the drop down to seven are you talking about thailand headed to militia drop in the course of ten years by ninety percent the lowest country are the lowest numbers in the world right now exists in florida they have zero point one percent a.t.v. you would think that those in the medical community those within the the political community might want to do something to go to these kind train and talk to these people to find out what they did to make the numbers. good to know so they could take a page with you back here unfortunately we're out of time thank you so much for shedding a light ari jones founder dream factory director thirty percent created.
3:51 am
sixty six years ago today february twelfth five hundred veterans and conscientious objectors from the first and second world wars burned their draft cards the demonstrations here in d.c. in new york were protest of a proposed universal compulsory military and listen that law this isn't one nine hundred forty seven thirty two years later after the draft was repealed sorry thirty two years later the draft was repealed now these kinds of protest against war stark and the reason the biggest military force in the world doesn't need a draft is because wars now outsourced to private contractors and military drones in fact it's quite a brilliant strategy for maintaining an empire eliminating the draft will limit much of the resistance against war however ground forces are still needed that's
3:52 am
why there is an all volunteer army now for the decision to enlist is left to the people of course that decision being made under the influence of a barrage of media propaganda and glorification of war and fact the military spend millions of dollars every year on advertising to try to convince people to enlist see for yourselves. yep and music action in major motion picture feel these ads are all part of what attracts tens of thousands of new recruits every year but what these ads won't show you is that once you've signed up you can't just turn around and quit now you've signed your life away for eight years and you know that myth about being an army strong well it's not all of hyped up to be let's start with the lie that joining
3:53 am
the military will give you the skills and training that employers are looking for because in fact the only jobs you're trained for are military jobs designed to keep you perpetually in the military sphere the bureau of labor statistics show that unemployment rates for post nine eleven of vets is around ten percent higher than the national unemployment rate of seven point eight percent while over two hundred thousand iraq or afghanistan veterans are currently without work and another three hundred thousand are expected to re enter civilian life in the next four years as the ground troops from the wars withdraw i guess former vice president dick cheney said it best he said the military is not a social welfare agency it's not a jobs program. what about the free college education that you probably heard about the tens of thousands of free dollars at your disposal for college right well thousands of young people join the military specifically for the opportunity to go
3:54 am
to college for free those free dollars aren't free at all in order to receive finances you must pay a monthly the positive one hundred dollars you must complete your term of enlistment and you must receive a good discharge or your deposit won't be refunded and get this according to the veterans administration less than half of eligible veterans are even to using their benefits so if you don't use the program then how is it a benefit that's right it's not in fact in this case it's the military that's profiting off this alleged social service not the vets. but the appeal of a military career can be hard to escape when you're bombarded with high budget t.v. ads recruiter lies video games glorifying combat and of course multi million hollywood blockbuster propaganda films like black hawk down hurt locker and most recently zero dark thirty it's no secret that movies glorify war get lots of freebies from said military as long as the message of the film is pro u.s.
3:55 am
forces. but now movies are taking it a step further check out this trailer for act of valor starring real life navy seals. in the city and it was heading to our country. for your men for a bigger fight than when you had a magic. load. load . to load for little feller yeah man are you pup to join the military yet throw some girl names and launch a many surveillance drone from a landing craft folks like i know times are really tough and some towns are extremely few options when it comes to careers but there are always other options and don't let yourself become a pawn of the global chess game and military empire that throws you under the bus
3:56 am
