incompetence and institutions can be clearly seen is america suffering from a crisis of vision. for the. guys i'm having martin and this is breaking the sat so tampa bay local news just came out with a stunning report apparently in recent flight from d.c. to orlando hosted what can only be described as a terrorist dry run take a look at how they figured it out. crewmembers say that shortly after takeoff a group of four quote middle eastern men caused a commotion the witnesses claim one of the men ran from his seat in coach toward the flight deck door he made a hard left and entered the floor bathroom quote for a considerable length of time well let me get this straight a guy that may have been arab booked at the bathroom made a flight because he may have had

a bad case of diarrhea side effects from bad airline food yep definitely a red flag but i can't be the only reason. while he was in there the other three men proceeded to move about the cabin changing seats opening overhead bins and quote generally making a scene but ten news investigators contacted both u.s. airways and t.s.a. and both confirmed the incident. well i'm glad that the t.s.a. confirmed that three men were shuffling around in their overhead bins on by the way the t.s.a. also followed up by saying that there is no need to investigate this incident any further basically this isn't news at all and these concerns completely baseless so what is this really all about. you will remember this day as long as you live the memories and images of nine eleven are shared in the minds of almost every american . that's how this news report started yes it seems like we can't go one day without

being really traumatized about the nine eleven terrorist attack that happened twelve years ago you know the reason stories like this even gain traction in the first place is because of the fear of the other or by that i mean anyone who remotely looks brown and to prove my point it just so happens i have acquired some rare footage of what really went down on that flight. yeah i think you get the idea. it was a. very hard to take. her back with her right there.

amidst the u.s. government shutdown there's an economic ticking time bomb waiting to happen an unprecedented default on america's debt well yesterday there was almost a breakthrough in this ongoing shutdown that hybrid pastor feed dominating capitol hill is the republican leadership finally offered to raise the ceiling in order to avoid a default. the cash is only for six weeks no mention of what will happen after those six weeks or when the government will be reopened because you home most of the food

safety inspections and mine are just aren't that important to discuss the situation in a congress that is officially less popular than colin off confused i was joined earlier by dr stephanie kills an economics professor at the university of missouri kansas city i started by asking dr kalam what would happen if congress fails to raise the debt ceiling. i think the only real answer is you know nobody knows exactly nobody can describe in any sort of concrete terms exactly what it would look like if the u.s. were to miss a payment to default on its debt but i think it's pretty clear that it would be very very bad for the global credit system because then the u.s. debt is you know all the net all the treasury unfallen that this is what we're talking about we're talking about u.s. treasuries and they are the equity that supports the entire global credit system so if we start messing with the equity that underpins the entire global credit system

we're talking about something that presumably would be pretty catastrophic the latest didn't but it would shake that confidence invested in treasury bonds and i do i mean i think that you're going to see some some pretty sizable effects i don't know how lasting they would be you know japan defaulted on its debt after the war and it was the only case that i'm aware of where you had what would be the same as in the u.s. this is a voluntary default that's what we're talking about we're not talking about whether we have the ability whether united states government has the ability to keep its promises to make all of the payments that are due to seniors to veterans to civil servants to bondholders and so on it's not about whether we have the ability to do that we certainly have the ability to make the payments we are in control of our own currency and. so we're talking about whether we have the willingness to pay our bills and the only time that i'm aware of that a country with the ability to pay it made the voluntary decision not to pay its

bills was japan after it lost the war and it quite simply announce we're not going to pay back our enemies this is a completely different situation ok with this is this is just mind boggling that we're talking about whether the united states of america which controls its own currency is going to make payments in u.s. dollars when it is the issuer of the dollar and there's absolutely no reason whatsoever for the united states government not to keep all of its promises and protect full faith and credit of the u.s. government what is so outrageous is that it's it is voluntary and i think the real question that i have is this is a sham i mean is this is this whole debate just a sham to kind of fearmonger the american people hold us hostage or is this really a realistic threat on part of the g.o.p. . well i think that for the most part they view this is an opportunity and you know it's not something that they're trying for the first time and it's also let's be

honest not something that only the g.o.p. has done both sides both parties historically have used the debt ceiling to try to gain some leverage to get legislation that they want past or that they don't want repealed and so in many ways this is not something new they view it as an opportunity and they're trying to do something to throw some red meat to that segment of their base that is so vocal that turns out to the town hall meetings gets very vocal and up upset and energized and will shout down their elected officials and primary them and you know these these people view this as i think the g.o.p. is thinking you know we cannot simply vote to raise the debt ceiling without getting something in return it will you know we have to be able to go back to those town hall meetings and when those folks stand up to us we'll say ah but we got social security or we got you know whatever it is that ultimately might come out of some sort of a deal in the next month or so let's move on video affordable care act why do you

think republicans are so vehemently against it considering how it's essentially republican plan you have no single payer no public option of asuncion a mirror image of romney care on a federal officer it's a great question if that's exactly as you describe it that's exactly what it is so what have they been saying they've been saying that they oppose it because they view it as another big government program that makes people dependent on government in some sense that they're going to grow to like the program that they're going to become depend more depended on to be are going to take it away from them in the future but really i mean there are some good things in the affordable care act i think there are very good things in the bill but on the whole this is not a piece of legislation that i particularly like this is a huge giveaway to wall street this is saying. you know to wall street here are thirty seven million americans we're going to send your way and you're going to provide insurance for all of them noticed there wasn't

a whole lot of pushback from the insurance industry on obamacare and so it's it's a piece of legislation that in many ways republicans should why i want to get your opinion on janet yellen nomination to head the federal reserve of course the media's in a field day about how the conversation about her potential nomination focused on the controversy over whether obama would choose scandal plagued larry summers over her but my question is why focus on these superficial controversies instead of actual fed policies because most of the people that i know don't even know that the federal reserve is a private institution. yeah that's right i would say independent and they're independent of government in the sense that they get the interest rate policy without having to ask congress for permission i mean that's that's really what that independence is all about they can do q.e. they can do operation twist they can adjust short term interest rates and they

don't have to get congressional approval to do it that's what independent means but they are independent of government and they say that all the time and when bernanke he sits and under oath and testifies before congress and and congress asks him you know what is the fed prepared to do his responses will do whatever congress tells us to do at the end of the day the federal reserve understands that it is there as a creature of congress and the congress made the rules the dual mandate for example that gives the federal reserve the mandate to pursue both high employment and high economic growth and lower stable inflation that those are the marching orders given to the fed by the congress now congress can change the fed's mandate at any time to give them a different set of objectives to pursue and and the federal reserve will do its best to carry those out it does seem like the sort of a problem given an audit so. well you know that that is true bernanke he does not want people coming in and poking around too closely was very

sensitive for example in the wake of the financial crisis with the fed intervention swap line agreements and other lending to financial institutions and he didn't want that sort of deep probing that would have revealed exactly how much the fed spent intervening to prop up the financial system that is true thank you so much for weighing in on all these issues dr stephanie colton department chair and professor university of missouri kansas city thanks for having me. thank you for all the choice to use luck to you. guys were soon approaching world food day on october sixteenth they found it on the gold of the feet of hunger and make food a source of empowerment for all october also happens to be agent orange awareness month the time to educate about the lasting effects of the deadly chemicals spread by the u.s. military during the vietnam war and with these two important dates in mind

activists from all over the world and chosen this saturday october twelfth to hold the second official march against monsanto to monsanto is not only responsible for the production of agent orange but now it's overtaking the global food supply with genetically modified seeds the march against this model of the corporation is an international event set to take place in over four hundred cities across fifty countries so to talk more about this massive rally and where a demonstration is taking place near you i was joined earlier by nick burnaby activist an organizer with march against month santo i first asked him why the movement against monsanto is gaining so much traction around the world. well i think it's because it's such a broad it's such a broad movement you know there's so many different people from different backgrounds it's not one of these left right issues it's really people from all all all places all you know poor and rich all over the world it affects all of us so i think that's why there's so many people getting involved and

a lot of people just don't know that i'm on so and so on and about what's going on with these g m o's and the policies and when they find out they get activated they they they're ready to take us down as soon as they find out and i think that's why it's grown so quickly so is the march just about awareness right now or is there any specific action that you guys are trying to put forward to enact policy change . yeah well you know the last march was really really fired up when obama signed the monsanto protection act and you know in my opinion we've been successful to get that removed because the senate has announced that they're not going to continue the monsanto protection act so they're dropping it from the farm bill so you know that's at least one tangible you know one tangible win that we already have other than the you know last quarter monsanto reporter reported a loss and it was it was millions of dollars that they lost last quarter and and you know we think that is at least partially due to the new awareness that's being brought about and you know awareness is key effecting their bottom line is keep

people voting with their dollars and also we want to transform the food supply we want to make it more of a bottom up approach instead of a pyramid scheme for the food supply we want to get the communities involved and i think that's where our biggest effects are taking place is at the community level people are starting to to produce their own food and and use these new ideas like opon extent and community gardening c.s.a. co-ops and things like that and i think that's where we can really have our biggest effect what else can we do other than you know obviously not mind for monsanto and kind of venturing out to farmers markets and things like that but we've got to keep supporting these initiatives to get the labeling i believe that one wants to get one state to get labeled that'll be the domino effect and it'll it'll start happening all over the country so i think that would be one good first step is to push for some to get one at least one state to get labeling legislation pass absolutely our health is at stake here i want to thoughts and has tags and go to fine on the triggers there more about this and they are hash tag march oct twelve

march against monsanto zero one two zero twelve and a and nick where else can people go to find out more about the march and where they can get involved. well they can go to our website which is march dash against dash monsanto dot com so it's march against monsanto dot com and under the events link they could find out about it for the thais list of all the events around the world it's ordered from continent country ends and state and city so it's really organized you can find it there you can also search in facebook for my chance monsanto and then type in your local city we have over four hundred events so there should be a an event near pretty much wherever you're at and it's still not too late to even start an event there's a little. there's a little directions pad there on the website as well where you could. you know set up an event there's some quick directions there other than the people you'll see people out in the streets and most of the capitals tomorrow and it's not too late

i would rather as questions to people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on our t.v. question. six o'clock six. overvote. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy albus. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and out of proximity we've been hijacked by handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once told us

i'm tom hartman and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem. rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing them for ready to join the movement then welcome to the big picture. i know that i'm always telling you to write me and let me know you think about the shows of today i mean respond to some of your feedback starting with you tube raybold says abbi what's with the go to round your neck and the black and white dress was that your idea or was told to wear it yeah did i get

a memo every day from my illuminati since lord telling me to wear my checkerboard color scheme to brainwash the audience in the mind control i mean anyone can clearly see that the necklace is a go ahead after some cool geometric pattern writes well it's moved out of the video i did about the neglected native american communities in the us in light of the redskins controversy. or actually i'm skipping that moving right on the twitter in response to my segment of the devastating lasting effects of agent orange at rock rogers says they never should have bombed pearl harbor wait. pearl harbor i think that's two different countries men vietnamese people and babies born with birth defects should have never let their japanese ancestors bomb pearl harbor genius and on facebook david a hani says in response myself a malaysian piece in which i said that i remember as a child seen imagery of monks on fire during the vietnam war he says it wasn't even during the vietnam war and you're an insult american military veterans well david i

understand you're probably confused at what i meant which was not that i was actually alive during the vietnam war but just that i remember seeing those images when i was younger posters books magazines and throughout the media sphere and i'm not sure why it automatically follows why i'm a disgrace to veterans but ok and from yesterday's show about the energy crisis we face someone on you tube named james alexander fish said the roast rooms have proven the existence of a biopic oil and obvious still screeching about the oil running out w.t.f. . james once again you seem to be you can other confuse troll i'm not screaming about oil running out i'm talking about a pro and all i'm saying is that we should be concerned about polluting destructive fossil fuels are and that we should be seeking alternatives but he had such a stick up as asked that he continued trying to discredit me by saying quote abby needs to bone up on her english she use the word out of my eyes to the proper word is automated it is hard to take someone seriously who seems confused about grammar

. oh man sort of schooling you myself i'll let z.t. h.g. for eight to one reply for me who said wrong itemize was an appropriate word choice for the oxford english dictionary automotives verb another term for automate another term for itemize well that's it for a day guys thanks as always for writing and for watching. so has a lot going on in the news this week truckers are taking over d.c. ted cruz turned a speech from the valued voters summit into an opportunity to fear monger us against tyrannical goose hunting and fox news uncovered the real freeloaders off the welfare state with a lot to cover and i called my friend a comedian leave camp to help me sort through what's going on there how are you so me i got a great joke for a man who can

a dick cheney is that around and by joe lieberman joe lieberman saying hey man isn't it nice that we're here instead of not in our jail cells where you know what this actually happened can you believe that we have war criminals actually joking about the fact that they got away with waterboarding jokes are written by the victors and that's how we're writing a very funny it's exactly like those dirty jokes written by the victors you know it was it was a riff and it was like dick cheney was quoting that joke by jay leno that is this circle of hell that i never thought i'd see that is so scary to see. those all come together it was. awful this. thing of let's talk about this ridiculous sham of the government shutdown in the partisan hackery surrounding this obamacare debate how is it that a we have a congress that is refusing to take a pay cut of course there are they're popular in less than cornell skippy's they have incredible health care plans to choose from themselves they have three premium

options and you know what they're refusing to recognize that obamacare is just romney care at a federal level i mean what the hell right as. well though they did call obamacare anti-american and the right going on the right we did and that is actually true because watching friends and family members die of preventable illnesses is a uniquely american experience you know where else can you get that so what are we going to do be like every other country and save our friends and family were different abby that's what makes us special this is american exceptionalism these diets are just pick and go through a bit of history. but he would clearly have these long lines really that's all it's about when you rather have one hundred thousand dollars in debt then have a long line at the hospital i mean absolutely you know i have a you know in a way where you know you don't know that it is just a debt and then those same people are like oh the shutdown is not that big a deal the federal government employs more people than i read there's mcdonald's

and wal-mart combined so not only do i feel bad for those people but i was just horrified by the phrase mcdonald's and wal-mart combined anything scarier than that you know other than ted cruz we're going to really think there's a good currency given to action speech about the dangers that we face the let's hear from. vice president joe biden had some advice he said if anyone's attacking your home. just go outside with a double barreled shotgun and fire both barrels in the air. which is very very good advice if it so happens you're being attacked by a flock of geese crazy like a fox or crazy. crazy in many different ways some assortment it's a cornucopia of crazy it's lovely it's a you know i love that he's making fun of the idea of you know just to take a shot gun of what it's all about guns and everything and here's the thing is the people that are flipping out about guns what to protect the property the freedom

their family all that's taken from them without their guns like they're probably the house was foreclosed on they don't have their freedom their e-mails are being spied on their son has a student loan he's indebted to that forever so all those things you want to protect with that gun it's already been taken through other means of that i do think it's a very good client i'm a good shot and can't really protect you from that foreclosure sign well speaking of just insanity and let's move on to this fantastic investigative report fox really dug right in there in the dollar and only revealed welfare queens are let's hear from them. to these folks who really need to be on welfare so i have a t.v. yeah i will tell you the air conditioning yes cable t.v. comedy channel one of the one. das it is welfare recipients they have cable running water and facilities it's disgusting how long are these poor people going to do things like continue to live you know and breathe the same air we breathe what

right do they have to breathe air and you know when the you when you've had your house stolen by the bank and your mother trying to take care of three children and you have no right to air conditioning i don't think these people realize that you need a phone to even get a job if you go in to try to get a job in the employer's right yourself and you're like you know i don't have one and yes i did i want to be able to get welfare and this is a little bit asil back making fun of the ugly side of welfare she's the ugly side of media she is the welfare of maid of corporate right she's a welfare recipients clean there's no reason she should be on there but she's a so i hate i really hate recipient on recipient hatred it really is ugly ugly to start a war against it i've been hearing all week about this mythical truckers strike really interesting as this is shut down the road that lead to washington looks like the kind that happened i mean i could be wrong wasn't just a big traffic jam i mean let's follow up with this photo and see what they said i

mean they said that the strike was really successful and check this out so see totally black people you know given the thumbs up and such turns out that was actually from a make a wish foundation charity event that's a conference something right back with a solid protest make a wish protest yeah i kind of feel bad for them because those truckers spend all day every day driving across the middle of the country what are they listen to the only thing they have a listen to rush limbaugh and glenn beck so there this is a stockholm syndrome protest is what this was they just have terrible stockholm syndrome they're trapped in that little cab with going back all day long. itself of all the things that could happen from stockholm syndrome drivin slow ain't that bad to be a lot more i do so if the people knew what it was about and not just saying hey it's a. trafficked i mean hopefully there was a point made thank you so much when we camp comedian host of the moment of clarity webster thanks again you're not going get me into the element. that's for later that's for later man thanks much for tuning in you guys have

down for your meal did you give consent for your child to eat golden rice. something that we didn't know it at the time they didn't tell us it was g.m. food wasn't made if i had known it at the time i wouldn't have allowed it and it. looked as though the flour many of the parents now regret at school thing. that the tanit they said the food was very healthy for the kids if they said something about spirulina or something we didn't really understand they only said it was very good that's why we signed the consent form and let our children eat the meals but let's. say. i'm furious that my daughter in law and i son were naughty were cut out they left their child in my care like the day.
