8:01 pm
what's friday may third eight pm and watching d.c. i'm margaret how old you are watching our t.v. . we're out late less than six months past the last us presidential election and more than three and a half years until the next one and this horse race has already begun that's fate tonight c.-span launches its road to the white house twenty sixteen coverage and other news outlets have already started speculating about who those contenders are for the next presidency despite the fact that we've only reached one hundred days in this president's term so what's with the obsession with the race for the presidency is there nothing else going on in the world well maybe it's just easier to cover a horse race politics than the actual policy debates but even if media outlets are looking to specialize in election coverage rather than the day to day there is an election coming up much sooner in the major presidential election next year in two thousand and fourteen with all four hundred thirty five seats of the house of
8:02 pm
representatives and thirty three seats in the senate as well as thirty six governors' races will all be going up for a vote by all means we should be speculating about an election that's at least three years away still. well released earlier this week a new poll by c.b.s. and the new york times shows that seventy percent of americans are ok with surveillance cameras in the wake of the boston marathon bombings this poll indicates that nine out of ten americans feel terrorism is a risk that we must all be willing to live with suggesting more receptiveness to broader security measures so how does the average american really feel about privacy versus security well arty's chad boyle brings us more. in the wake of the boston marathon bombings the new york times and c.b.s. news release the poll saying seventy eight percent of americans are all in favor of installing surveillance cameras in public places to reduce the threat of terrorism
8:03 pm
. i took to the streets of the nation's capital to find out of the people who agree or disagree with these results where in america we're a free country we don't want to get back to you know after broken tree where we're being watched all the time and worried about what we're doing and now i think that's a little bit of an infringement on privacy i don't mind i'm surveillance cameras watching watching things i don't know that i would necessarily want in following everything that i do but i'm definitely in public areas i mean something needs to be done to protect the country our citizens and our loved ones so i don't have a problem is not a bad idea you know the use of surveillance can be used to deter crime but ultimately it's not going to stop crime keeps us safe but at the same time it is an invasion of privacy so i don't know i mean it's a great area right. to a degree yeah but so is facebook and also all that social media stuff.
8:04 pm
so i don't know. despite the polling results that say seventy eight percent of americans are for surveillance cameras watching our every move the public opinion here in the nation's capital is a little bit more mixed in washington i'm chad boyle r.t. well marring footage has popped up on line showing rapper christopher extra a baby being arrested for refusing to hand over an arizona iced tea to a cop now the incident took place on april twenty ninth while extra of an a few friends were outside or carolina liquor store the plainclothes police officer seen here asked to hand over his can of iced tea because he was skeptical of what was inside now the for. lisa and then a rest of the wrapper for fusing to hand over that iced tea and for fusing to leave the parking lot the police continued on pressing the rapper claiming that he was trespassing the entire time extra and his friends had been inside the establishment
8:05 pm
well earlier i was joined by the man who recorded it all filmmaker tina brown his films include by any means necessary and just to get by to start off he told me what happened well first i'd like to say thank you for having me along and i really appreciated. what happened was we was recording extremism using video earlier during the day and after recording a video he said hey you know let's stop i get something to drink i was thirsty we stopped by the original the convenience store he grabbed his he grabbed arizona iced tea and he said hey you know let's stop by the liquor store and grab something for to close so later on you know we can have a good time and we pulled up at the liquor store and that's when i decided to hit record you know just to have extra footage to pot could possibly go with a music video and i pulled up hopped out of my car hit record almost immediately and you know the video speaks for itself from that point on we were just rights
8:06 pm
were just totally violated so when they put x. travel on the ground you know that moment what were you thinking or you were you thinking are you kidding me. yeah you know the main thing that i was thinking honestly was like are you kidding me number one and number two i really was thinking of the constitution i really was i was like where you know the rights here with this like he doesn't have the right to drink iced tea right now. it was kind of harsh certainly so what happened after about a rast well after the arrest the original will be fayetteville police department showed up as seen in video two and he pulled up and i tried to explain to him hey you know we have footage we have evidence you know if someone's claim is a crime we have evidence here and they just ignored me they didn't want to hear they were really more so mad that i did have evidence and they just ignored me and and he was arrested booked brought downtown and he has
8:07 pm
a court date on june sixth in fear you say well what was the charge exactly brought against the charge was trespassing and resisting arrest which everyone can see he had his hands up as he was tackled to the ground he never once threw elbow a poncho he didn't even get loud for that matter so you know hopefully we can get people to stand up give calls letters even you know some some type of protest or anything that could bring awareness because it's bigger than extract it's about the people of america certainly so it sounds like you know a lot happening still on the status of this just so i understand you sir these charges haven't been drops. no no the chargers have it mean drop in for anyone it's . trying to find now update on information they can follow me at my twitter tino brown three one five i'm always updating the situation now even be posting new
8:08 pm
video footage of extravagance playing the story from his and also have i'm here with you guys explaining the story but it's not over i mean they're really pursuing him because you know they're standing behind he did he committed a crime that's what they're standing behind well my my next question for you sir may seem a little premature but are you guys planning any civil action of course yes we're planning civil action we're getting with attorneys right now civil attorneys we're just open here with anyone who may think they can handle this case may say so if you know if there's any civil attorneys listening that seen the video you know that they can give us advice or stairs in the right direction or possibly help the case we're all open for and it's more important we need people like you and others to speak up and help us with it ok well i want to take you to the public response to this video if you can tell me you know what is the public response to that you tube
8:09 pm
video of this a rasta and what does it mean to you that we're talking about it now. really it means everything to me because i have a daughter and you know it's the future of america you know is the main concern the public is responding with what i expected with hey you know that could have been me that could have been my child that could have been my mother for goodness sake they're appalled they're mad which they should be because you know i know brown i stand for the constitution i stand for freedom and at this moment you know like i said it's about the future that's what i'm concerned about if our kids or grandkids you know we're going through this now and it's getting worse by the day imagine what they'll have to go through if we the people continue to allow this to happen well tina we've got to leave it there are thank you for your time sir the list maker tina brown thank you. it's a bird no wait it's a plane wait
8:10 pm
a minute is that a rod and well it's no secret the drone technology is major business that according to figures from the electronic frontier foundation approximately thirty thousand unmanned aerial vehicles are expected to be flying overhead across america by two thousand and twenty but he will be engineering and piloting these drugs will r.t.f. us out there churkin our reports on how people are lining up to get their degrees and drones. unmanned aerial vehicles better known as drones are not only in the skies but might be taught at a college near you at least three u.s. schools offer bachelor degrees in engineering and fly new avi's dozens more offer drone one zero one courses and classes. the university of north dakota kicked off its four year program in two thousand and nine with just five students that number is now a hundred and twenty they've elected you to major in unmanned aircraft systems and i believe the reason is that they see this is an opportunity for its object knology
8:11 pm
embry riddle aeronautical university in florida began training to a violence and operators in two thousand and eleven so expect the number of graduates to reach the hundreds in the next several years and becoming apparent that you make these are. pretty much any type of operation you can imagine the increased interest in the drone industry is largely fueled by post-grad starting salaries that are much higher than those for pilots flying planes or helicopters where an economy that's hasn't recovered ok so people see opportunities for jobs where there's money to be had of course but the problem is that universities are supposed to do something more than serve the military industrial complex twice for a debate drones are notoriously used as weapons and u.s. wars abroad the one that's under heavy scrutiny right now is that i'm an aircraft in the past been used by the military therefore the logical leap is that i'm going to use militaristically in the united states the federal aviation administration says that some commercial drones could be used. over u.s. skies within five years for surveillance and other purposes while controversy
8:12 pm
surrounding them is that a piece how dare they even talk about drones on a domestic that there are many many cities in the country that have already got the right to use these drones and they will be using them without the laws that protect our privacy we don't know how they're going to be used most people teaching and studying u.a.b. oriented programs insist their use is much more varied than for military purposes abroad and surveillance at home i think our law at least for them where that immediacy would all border security meteorological and environmental surveillance such as sending a drone into a hurricane without having to worry about the pilots are among the applications most commonly praised and you even still the most common association with drones at home is law enforcement and it's this aspect that's making americans very uncommon obviously there's going to be some regulations that have to you know be put in place that run around you know police or whoever doesn't just have the ability to
8:13 pm
run around and you know go unchecked looking at you know having an ever watchful eye over the public but i don't think that it will it will be a deterrent more so be a challenge to make sure that people are happy to implement the implementation of an aircraft into the national airspace system officials are yet to convince americans that there are more pros than cons to drones flying over u.s. soil it's time to say wait a minute hold up let's not move forward in this area without understanding where we're going and that's the problem here and that's the danger we'll see ition for unmanned vehicle systems international estimates the number of american jobs in the industry will grow to over twenty three thousand over the next fifteen years. and so he's written a thirty. well there's news this week out of the united nations now the u.n. human rights commission released a report calling for a moratorium on quote testing production assembly transfer acquisition deployment
8:14 pm
and use of killer robots yes killer robots now lethal autonomous robotics or lars are already being used by nations around the world and many others are working to develop this technology as well so artie's mega lopez has the story. well right as the united states navy inaugurated its first ever squadron of unmanned aerial vehicles in california this week the u.n. human rights commission just released a report talking about the dangers that these robots present to the global community as well as to international law the report's author christoph haynes went so far as to call for a worldwide moratorium on the testing production assembly transfer acquisition deployment and use of these machines so let's examine this report just a little bit more detail according to the findings of this report the u.s. the u.k. israel south korea and japan have all developed different types of fully or similar at tata mis robotic weapons now there are two major types of robotic weapons here's
8:15 pm
a quick look at them the first is the major type that's very popular these days unmanned combat aerial vehicles better known as you can have. or drones these machines are simiane thomas meaning that they don't need a pilot in the seat but that there is some type of human controller in a room somewhere monitoring this robot and making its decisions for it now the second type is the one that the u.n. report is actually most wary about lethal autonomy's robotics lars for short these machines have the capability to conduct missions and make life and death decisions without the command of a human controller they can locate targets and then choose what to do with them all by themselves it's a powerful and intimidating notion that the u.n. report says could actually lower the threshold for countries to go to war or to otherwise use lethal force now obviously there's a lot of criticism about drones you avi's and lars and numerous discussions taking
8:16 pm
place on an international level but before we move forward important to quickly adding analyze the significance of these machines so let's take a quick look at what these robots offer their human counterparts and why the u.s. is turning to this technology more and more frequently now the first is the most obvious problem. course no lives are in the actually going to be lost of the country that owns the robots they're not put in direct danger military commanders can send these robots into hard to reach or particularly volatile regions we don't risk in troops on the other hand these technologies actually have a limited ability to distinguish between the battens at best their ability to differentiate between the two is reliant on the human who actually created encoded them on the pro side however these robots can process information much quicker human counterparts in battle time is of the essence and every second counts when it comes to decision making so the decision making process for these machines is actually measured in nanoseconds but that can also be a bad thing when it comes to your calves somy autonomy robot can actually process
8:17 pm
information much quicker than the human controlling it so it can actually act before the controller understands what's going on on the pro side these machines are not motivated by self preservation therefore they will fight to the death if necessary to achieve the stated goal but then again they do not take future reference questions into account for the army or for the country on the pro side you can have an lara's technology will not cause purposeful suffering such as torture or particularly painful deaths their mission is the quickest means to an end but when it comes to thinking outside of the box to look at all angles of what they are doing and to consider options other than killing in order to achieve a goal as to thinking on your feet that is actually out of the realm of possibilities for these robots to date now something many people won't give thought to these robots will not wait this might sound like a silly thing to you but let's tell you why it isn't rape is just as common in war
8:18 pm
and stuff just common it's rampant i'm not talking about american soldiers in iraq or afghanistan although several cases have actually been reported i'm talking about places like syria mali the congo and sudan were used as a weapon of war which. me to my last point that q. motions are not take into account these robots are not motivated by revenge or anger panic prejudice or fear unless their programmer specifically write it into their code but that can also be a bad thing because these robots lack emotion like empathy now obviously there are a lot of arguments for and against these killer machines regardless countries around the world are forging on to be the first and to be the fastest to create these machines we really are interim a brave new world when it comes to killer technology the only question now is whether world leaders will be able to be brave enough themselves to use the technology responsibly and draw its limits in washington meghan lopez r.t. . well still ahead here on our tito's watching porn lead to sexual aggression at
8:19 pm
a risky behavior the answer seems to be no and a new study claiming that there is no connection between or in a wild when we return a look at the busting of this myth. the same story doesn't make it news no softball interviews no puff pieces so many tough questions. it's impossible to navigate the economy with all the details to make them for me and me to hype you up to date by decoding the mainstream headline they take it from your.
8:20 pm
whole pornography has been considered a quite killer situation for some seconds and considered a moral hazard for others but a new study out from the university of the netherlands says that viewing pornography may have less of an impact on one's sexual behavior than you might think of a study published in the journal of sexual medicine surveyed forty six hundred people between the ages of fifteen and twenty five in the netherlands about their sexuality and their you support augur for you now eighty eight percent of men and forty five percent of women reported viewing porn in the past twelve months but that didn't make them wild sex addicts the report found instead only between zero point three and four percent of the risky adventurous sexual behaviors they reported could be attributed to their use. that the author of this report says that the rest of these experiences can be chalked up to simply being a sensation seeking personality for instance if you like to skydive they just might
8:21 pm
be too adventurous sex they have a connection so there's a long history of conflicting reports over the benefits and risks approach. there is a florida vile pornography and we must act to stem this growing to our right because in the words or judge robert bork it incites perverted murder i mean it it just destroys. you know what what god made as a beautiful thing and turns it into something ugly and and and. and sort of primal you don't have the right to to. my penis the first image was not there to corrupt people in america with you know productive free and and horrible violence and you know sexual violence and the things that are going on out there that's not a protected right thing. that really is that is they say well gert martin hald the author of the latest study tells us news that pornography is not as bad as the bad
8:22 pm
wolf as we thought it was and maybe we should just focus on other factors so does this big bad wolf have any teeth to speak of will help me explore this issue i was doing earlier by adult film performer tosh arraign and i asked her what she thought if there's a link between porn and a person's sexual behavior if anything i think that the person sexual behavior has a link to the pornography that they watch so i am type of person that likes to have a specific type of sex say i like to have an ill effects. i want to watch be d.s.m. or something a little bit more risque and crazy and i don't necessarily want to engage in that but i'd like to watch it as entertainment so that's the type of the tell entertainment that i personally feel i see the reports says the personality is we're more of a factor in their approach to sex and station seeking people i guess they're more likely to take that more adventurous role do you think that's true. absolutely and
8:23 pm
i think that i would be confident saying most men including the man that i just heard speaking watches pornography and there's nothing wrong with it in my eyes i can empathize with somebody coming from a religious background like himself i heard him say christianity and you know that's an idea of religion and coming into regulating my social choices and i just can't even fathom somebody thinking that they have the right to control what i want to view like it's hard for me to wrap my head around the entire concept about somebody that believes in monogamy and christianity and all of these things that come with the religion to then go and force it on other people it's confusing to me because i don't have a problem with them not wanting to engage in sexual behavior but why do they have a problem with what i want to do ok. as we mentioned in the beginning of the show
8:24 pm
there's been some outrage over the effect of pornography and what it has on people does that concern you at all well i would love to know the specifics about the effects it has on people because for me through my lenses i see pornography as liberating a sexual as something that's enjoyable and fun to watch and so it's hard for me to relate to somebody that says there's something wrong with exploring your sexuality i think that there's something wrong with not exploring your sexuality ok so that's good to know so new york magazine featured an article in two thousand and eleven and they claim that men who look at the sexually explicit material that they were detaching from their partners do you find that to be true. i think that a study like that would be so difficult to draw a cause and effect or even a correlation from because it could be the fact that there are men that don't feel
8:25 pm
attached to their partner in a sexual way or they feel like that partner doesn't want to do things that they want to do and because of that they seek forms of entertainment in order to get their sexual release it could be that the person that studies specifically wanted those results is just something that for me is difficult to really understand because i have so many fans i go to all these different conventions all over the us and i have couples that come to me on the regular they tell me how much my videos have spiced up their sex life or made them feel confident about who they are and i love my female fans and my male fans and all of them are telling me much more positive views so you can see why it's hard for me to understand what that means. ok so i just i want to delve into this now when i heard a professional housekeeper say once that her house was a mess do you feel like you're bringing your work home is your sex life as
8:26 pm
interesting as it is on a real screen the real screen yes or no i wish i wish my sex life was as crazy as it is on the screen. i seriously think about all the time i mean. to outrageous thing here that was tosh arraign adult film performer for l.a. studio with there were a million u.s. homes foreclosed upon during the great recession distressed homeowners have been searching for relief but it turns out that the historical national said a settlement made in two thousand and twelve that was meant to bring bank abuses to light may not be the helping hand americans were looking for were residents in her finest.
8:27 pm
in february of two thousand and twelve president obama held a press conference to announce the national mortgage settlement the president calls it a landmark settlement with the nation's largest banks saying that it would quote speed relief to the hardest hit homeowners and some of the most abusive practices of the mortgage industry and begin to turn the page on an era of recklessness that has left so much damage in its wake sounds good and righteous right among other provisions the settlement established oversight monitors people whose job it would be to check over bag data every quarter they're supposed to make sure banks are no longer filing invalid documents foreclosing on properties when they have no legal right to do so and doing all the other criminal activities they were doing that got the country into this housing mess. the first reports are due this month so they
8:28 pm
better come back clear out still banks are going to pay for their criminal activities this time around right actually wrong so he american of course the banks aren't going to face penalties for criminal activity in the housing market settlements or no settlement you see under the settlement banks are allowed a five to ten percent threshold error rate which means banks can violate the legal standards and one out of every twenty mortgages they service to put that in context five percent of all mortgages in the u.s. equals two point five million homes so twenty five million has to be completely fraudulent and that would be perfect fine under obama's landmark settlement the best part though is that the reviews the settlement monitors dudes to assess the bank's compliance with the law are written by people paid by the banks themselves
8:29 pm
that's right the banks pay the people responsible for reporting on the bank adherence to the law that's got to ensure impartiality right organizations like the center for investigative reporting have already found that banks continue to file invalid documents and foreclose on properties to which they have no legal right so the banks are continuing to screw americans out of their homes with the help of the government and they continue to do so without consequence they go bomb a will hold a press conference announcing that don't hold your breath tonight that's talk about that by following me on twitter as the resident. well that does it thanks for joining us have a great night. wealthy british style.
