after announcing the first strike never turned world's attention to the police and that some. of our time. over. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy. that i know i'm sorry and on this show we reveal the picture of what's actually going on we go beyond identifying the trans national debate and real discussion critical issues facing america by the book ready to join the movement then welcome to the big picture. welcome back to the big picture i'm tom hartman coming up in this crap hour the man who shot and paralyzed larry flynt is scheduled for execution the november

twentieth you think larry would be excited but he's not i'll ask him why in just a month also the health care about gov rollout has been nothing but a headache for the obama administration so what can the administration do to make sure the website is up and running properly i asked legendary programmer john mcafee later on in the show and conservatives like mitt romney like to talk about how great capitalists are they really understand capitalism more on that in tonight's to take. in the best of the rest of the news on monday morning the supreme court agreed to hear what has the potential to be one of the most important cases of its upcoming term the case all the florida revolves around the question of whether or not the state of florida could execute death row inmate freddie hall barely meets that state's requirement. for execution florida law does not allow anyone with an i.q.

of seventy or below to be executed paul's i.q. is seventy one all his lawyers argue that i.q. tests have a large margin of error and that the seventy i.q. line is too arbitrary to be a good measure of whether or not an inmate is actually mentally disabled if the supreme court accepts halls argument it could make a lot it make it a lot harder for death penalty states to execute people who claim to have mental disabilities this has civil rights activists excited but many other people want to do away with the death penalty altogether one of these people larry flynt founder and publisher of hustler magazine joins us now from our los angeles studios larry welcome back. they're going to be here it's great to see you again you know it's been she's almost forty years since you and i had lunch on gay street in columbus ohio it's good to see you're still and you're still around and still speaking out you were shot by joseph paul franklin in one nine hundred seventy eight and have been paralyzed ever since he's scheduled to be executed on november twentieth for

murder most people would want to take revenge but apparently you don't you want to tell us about this. you are around thought about there's a great deal. you know i just assert some supposed to be about that just not vengeance and that's what you're getting with a bad death penalty but if i felt there was a deterrent to the death penalty i could easily support it but there's nothing in history that. would support the fact that it is a deterrent you know in the eighteenth century and when that pickpocketing was a capital offense and i was executing the pickpockets on saturday in a public square people would gather around all whitey's executions and while they were doing it people will be going to the audience might make an apology to the people watching the parade park is getting hanged you know coming out

a great example. of. how this theory is true but a learner none of our social scientists today can tell you when any certainly at all the late in the turn so why should the government be and the business of telling people hey it's cheaper to keep them in prison and to execute on because what the long legal appeals and cost involved in a special housing they have to have. it's much more expensive to keep somebody on death row there. than it would be on my breast. what are your thoughts about the fellow who shot you and what his motivations might have been and that error. was allowed racist and here make any bones about that. modern man or

a racially motivated hue ting's he was supposedly upset over michael my photo that we. published and has no. regardless of the motivation was the fact that he shot me and. i would love to how many of our own was in one room with a power wire coated pirate you know and i was conflict a little planning on him and him break that i may and i don't want to go and i just don't think that government should be in the business of killing people. it seems absolutely and i i so honor how all these years you've been. a consistent progressive and this is this now this is really where the mother rubber meets the road i mean this is the guy who shot you. on the on the topic of the death penalty

blacks who kill whites are five times more likely to be executed than whites who kill blacks and you mention that the fellow who shot you was in part motivated by his racism how can the death penalty not be racist in the. well. you know you don't see any wealthy white people of any wealthy white people's kids going to getting the death penalty you know it's fairly managed because minorities make up a large proportion of. people who are actually executed and these are people who are in most cases are and agent who can't afford tourney's and they're used in a carnage appointed by the state most them are incompetent and that's why they wind up with their family and its shares a very unfair system that does not work and i kind of understand and now some bad. they want vengeance or not. but if

they would really. give this kind of thought out and say you know maybe he's got a point maybe there's a better way to do it and why should we. lump ours sell pam with china iran and the middle eastern countries in terms of people there insisting on the death penalty other civilized countries all of europe. but only it does me. most of the other countries don't have a very dear it's a handful of countries that actually have. their mostly. repressive country politically so it does sense for four united states to be progressive paving and you know you talked about how the death penalty doesn't have the deterrent fact that it's promoted as having or advertised

as having and you know in terms of vengeance it's not even all that effective the person vanishes they don't have to experience years and years in prison do you think that there's even you can even take it a step beyond that and say that because we have the death penalty because we have state sanctioned murder in the united states that we are basically creating a more brutal society that we become more brutal as a consequence of our having the death penalty that there's a negative effect on everybody who lives in this country. absolutely i agree with that totally you know let me broach was warrants as. you know how do you feel about people when you know you're told. young people are out to. pee or am i paid but they see. it's only reply by saying well in that case i would rather my kid see in a porno movie. commandment because i don't want him to kill christ when he

comes back i mean when you do. tire blow by lines and violent behavior you're going to find straight it's going to happen if you don't want to be less violent society and be that way you know i don't advocate it like the old saying out of the vietnam era you know the war comes in this case the death penalty comes home larry flynt thank you very much great to see you thank you. it's the good the bad of the very very but really ugly the good jason pickel and there on black bear oklahoma has a state wide ban on gay marriage but that's not stopping this happy couple pick on

black there were able to get around the bad by applying for a license at an indian reservation. t.v. covered their story for a while. when the supreme court struck down the defense of marriage act last june jason had an idea he called a showing in a rapper who tries courthouse and ask a very simple question i was really expecting a big no i thought we're on our way to iowa but i called the tribe and they said yeah come on down it's twenty bucks twenty bucks for what no amount of money could buy in oklahoma a marriage license made illegal by the tribal code its requirements both people be of native american descent and live within the tribes jurisdiction no where does it specify gender because you know they say where there's a will there is a way the bad rush limbaugh's the conservative talk radio host has some crazy things about obamacare but what he said on tuesday on his radio program is really out there even by his to. c g i have

a canadian company whose u.s. subsidiary built the field obamacare website was once contract to do to build a federal gun registry for the canadian government more yeah gun registry that's the kind of people we need now while we're working on health care they can in a stealth way be establishing one of those here maybe this is just ridiculous health care dot gov has absolutely nothing to do with guns and rush is actually scared about the government knowing who's own firearms or about gun registries being aggregated probably he should stop supporting the n.r.a. because the n.r.a. has a mailing list is our nation's single biggest gun registry and the very very ugly governor paul le page during a recent speech in maine maine's republican governor polled a mitt romney their list. number two the couple.

is really. the people that. oh or these the fabled one to say. this was. really. seriously what is it about conservatives in that number forty seven percent as usual gov all pages fudging the facts sixty five percent of miners are currently employed now the remaining thirty five percent the vast majority are retired or are children. percentage who are working no good it's. one percent outside of the unemployed governor le page just trying to stoke up hatred for the poor any way he can is very clearly. coming out if we want to save our free enterprise economic system we need to ditch capitalism i'll tell you why and i still take.

dramas the truth be ignored. stories others who refuse to notice. the faces change the world. filled picture of today's these. loans in from around the globe. look to. think a classic. the really go to do is go 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 back all those years. in

fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and oppressive a girl we've been a hydrogen right hand full of trans national corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers but once the old testament i'm sorry it on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world if we go beyond identifying the problem. rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america if i ever feel ready to join the movement then welcome to it. i would bet that. a society that i think corporation kind of can. do and the bank trying to get all about money and others that actually

pick for politicians write the laws and regulations. coming up. here just to let pratt today's. screw news americans are still struggling to sign up for obamacare but the obama administration has announced it's starting a tech surge to fix the glitchy health care dot gov exchange website president talked about the ongoing effort to clean up the site in a speech monday. we are doing everything. we can possibly do to get the websites working better faster sooner we've got people working overtime twenty four seven to boost capacity and address the problems meanwhile house republicans have their own plan they've asked john mcafee the founder of the mcafee

anti-virus software empire to give them his expert input on how to work out health care dot gov kinks by the way here's a clip of mcafee giving his expert advice on how to an install his entire virus software. the procedure for removing mcafee anti-virus software from your computer is as follows first make sure you have a full backup just for a phone or your back you know. yeah. yeah. so is john mcafee the man who saved obamacare let's ask him john mcafee former computer programmer and founder of mcafee joins us now via skype john welcome to the program they deserve thanks for joining us so why should a guy who says he hates obamacare be the guy to fix it. well then said obamacare not a goal he said was the. program is unworkable as is the the basic software architecture as it is designed and implemented cannot possibly support the volume that they. use

about obamacare as a as a package one way or the other and either way if i were the house committee on energy and commerce the invited me to come and talk to them i would go to publicize that they they were asking me i mean obviously the the. news made a great deal of it we're going to competence i think stands for it so it absolutely does and to that kind of a wonky question here but the in the original legislation what was in vision was that health care dot gov would essentially be a portal it would be like google you know you plug in your name your social security number it would confirm your citizenship it would confirm your income using the i.r.s. and i a state a basis and then it would hand you and then you say what state you live in and it would send you right out to that state's web site so it's basically just a portal which is really a very simple programming issue then the supreme court said eric everybody doesn't

have to sign up for this and twenty six states said no thirty six states excuse me said no we're not going to do our own portals we're going to and so now the federal government has to talk their computers have to talk to the computers of thirty six different states that have thirty six different sets of standards they have thirty six different packages from different vendors i mean this we don't want should have been a simple portal has become a massive set of databases with different computers in different languages that don't talk to each other well i mean is it even possible to fix. well absolutely i mean let's look at systems which are many times more complex than google for example we spent a lot less money than a hundred million dollars on its software development is massively more complex and i've never been thrown off of google and never had google say you know i can service you right now it's a little vellum in all the databases of the new york times if you ask a question that's on the new york times google just hands you off healthcare god dot gov is having to hold the databases of these twenty thirty six states now but

we know that's not actually problem well google doesn't know the databases but it certainly holds all the information if you google or if you ask the google to find every reference of the name john mcafee it will tell you where it is that is a database many times greater than the database that. so it's an unfair comparison the problem is the architecture they chose to do c.g.i. which is implemented chose to use third indian programmers in india which by the way are far are great programmers but they're trained very basic skills to implement much of the front end processing this simply can't work they're using the front end to do most of the work which saves computer time on the government computers but it creates a huge backlog on the internet shows like this is simply should they have stood it of bargain should they have built out an agency within the federal government hire their own programmers and program their own system the way that the f.b.i.

or the i.r.s. or the ins. well it wouldn't be ready by twenty twenty five if they'd done that i mean we all know what happens to this program simply within the government no i think they should number one they should have a company with a little more technically competent c.g.i. for example it was funded by the canadian government seven years ago because of performance for similar reasons. play a very companies with the technical competence to do this it really it's not their conflicts it really is not. you know i'm not trying to belittle the efforts of c.g.i. it's simply the architecture was poorly designed to be implemented it simply has to be thrown away if you can't fix it as is yeah it's like taking foundation out from under your house when your house is still standing the other how did you have a point made though the one question i've always wanted to ask you. did back in the day when there were all these anti-virus companies coming out and starting up and climbing and there was all this buzz about at least one of these companies is

actually floating viruses and i'm not suggesting that you were but do you think any of your competitors have ever actually threw viruses out just so that their anti-virus companies could get rolling. you know i think that such a ridiculous not from your service at the time it was ridiculous there were thousands of the hits writers i mean i would have to hire thousands of programmers to write viruses i didn't nature they were out there they're still out there that day so no i don't think any virus company was writing viruses they were they were barely keeping up with the viruses that were out there in terms of making anti-virus fixes and it's still happening john mcafee thanks a lot for being with us tonight you're welcome sir.

on tuesday night kentucky senator rand paul appeared on sean hannity's show over the fox so-called news network and during his interview senator paul called liberals for having no idea how capitalism works liberals have no idea of how capitalism works they have no idea why when you go to walmart products are cheap how they get from one point to the other and how they're distributed in such a cheap fashion actually that's not capitalism it's business actually it's senator paul who apparently has no idea what capitalism is or how it works that's because like many americans and most american conservatives he confuses capitalism with free enterprise let me explain at its core the economic system we have here in the united states is based on two basic principles number one the right of any person or group of people to run an operate a legal business and number two the right of any person or group of people to buy goods and services at least legal goods and services from the legal business of their choice the system is called the free enterprise system and this is

a sign to give people the broadest choice of goods and services possible rewarding the people who provide the best goods and services we often call them entrepreneurs if you have someone like rand paul he'd say somebody participating in this sort of a system is a capitalist but the cleanest definition of a capitalist is someone who uses their money their capital to make more money. some capitals do this by investing their capital in the stock market others do it by investing in other people's startup businesses those people are called venture capitalists these kind of capitalist do play a part in our society in our business culture sometimes they help small businesses sometimes even large businesses get off their feet but here's what you won't hear on fox business or c n b c capitalists aren't that productive and really aren't actually all that necessary many are just like paris hilton they sit around on their butts by the pool all day long waiting for the dividend checks to come in they make money with money while contributing absolutely nothing to the rest of

society and here's the thing free enterprise works just as well without capitalists without capitalism and even without venture capitalists for example worker own cooperatives are just as successful as any business backed by you know what venture capital coming out of wall street or anyplace else the mungana going cooperative in spain for example i've been there they employ more than ninety thousand people they include more than two hundred fifty companies and they generate a yearly revenue of around twenty five billion dollars no capitalists involved it's entirely owned by its workers and no the workers are not capitalists they're the workers and the owners of the company as long as the people running a business are committed and the customers like what the business sells it's going to succeed again free enterprise works whether capitalist make money or not in fact too much capitalism can be dangerous every major economic crisis of the past two hundred years was caused by capitalists typically on wall street trying to use

their money to make more money here in america we've forgotten this fact and we've forgotten the difference between capitalism and free enterprise wall street and its allies in the republican party have taken advantage of this to and the democratic party to to gut the regulations that kept out of control capitalism in check between the new deal in the reagan revolution and they've done it. so all they've done all the while paying lip service to free enterprise to make it seem like deregulating the banks are somehow helps everyday people in the capitalism is somehow the same thing as democracy because what's good for the banks of the capitalists isn't necessarily good for the rest of us that's why america is the most unequal country in the developed world and poverty is an all time high higher than any other developed country in the world. capitalists even have their own tax rate their own income tax rate as if they were some kind of divine beings the top

capital gains tax rate is twenty percent whereas the top to earn income tax rate for working people is thirty nine percent to add insult to injury working people pay payroll taxes on top of that income tax and people who pay capital gains the capitalists they don't the way to fix this is pretty obvious to anyone who understands the difference between capitalism and free enterprise if we're going to have an economy that works for everyone we need to diminish the role of people who only want to make more money that is the capitalists and increase the role of everyday entrepreneurs and workers and consumers people who actually keep our economy running we can do this naturally if we stop giving capitalists their very own special tax code. right now thanks to low capital gains taxes predator capitalists like mitt romney and spoiled heiresses like paris hilton pay less tax on their income and working americans do just because they make their money for

money instead of actually working for a living. there shouldn't be a bigger incentive to make money with money then to make money with the power of your mind or your hands there should be an incentive to make more money invest in than running a bakery. if we stop rewarding capitalists for just being capital it's that would go a long way toward even in the playing field if we combined that was say more small business administration loans then entrepreneurs would get an even bigger advantage there are a bunch of different ways to make our economy more equal but if we want to have a society that works for everyone not just the banks or class then we can start by doing one simple thing abolish the capital gains tax altogether and make the capitalists pay the same taxes as regular people it's all ordinary income let's ditched capitalism and embrace free enterprise and that's the way it is tonight wednesday october twenty third twenty thirteen don't forget democracy begins when
