1:30 pm
shows that the agency is also watching you play angry birds to data mine everything from a user's political affiliation to their sexual orientation great so i won't be playing candy crush any time soon but with all the flak that the n.s.a. has been getting over the past year it's easy to forget that our neighbor to the north how exactly been a huge advocate for civil liberties either so well the corporate media attention has been soley focused on uncle peeping tom the most recent snowden leaks show that a johnny come knock has also been sticking his hockey puck where it doesn't belong today c.b.c. news reported that canada's own spying agency called seasick use the airport why fight attract travelers movements but the agency didn't stop there. and you track individuals long after they left the airport by monitoring when their wireless devices showed up at other wife i hotspots in cities across canada and the u.s. according to leave power point presentation in two thousand and twelve the program was a trial run for a joint see sec n.s.a. program to track quote any target that makes occasional forays into other cities
1:31 pm
because we all know that for rain equals terrorism. the document also shows that the sec was able to go back in time once i did it once it identified a specific traveler and see that person's various wife my location leading up to their arrival at the airport yes retro active tracking and i guess time travel isn't just reserved for marty mcfly anymore so how is the second responding to this bombshell report on a written response of the agency i'm sorry in a written response to c.b.c. news the agency said that quote no canadian or foreign travelers movements were tracked no i didn't add quotes that were tracked that was their exact response i guess putting words in quotes is all you need to do to justify illegality in canada the n.s.a. should employ that tactic and their response is if director of national intelligence james clapper would have just use air when he told congress that. n.s.a.
1:32 pm
does not wittingly collect data on americans they want to put those all call unconstitutional global surveillance and arrest in fact clinton might have been spared an impeachment if only he would have said that i did not have sexual relations with that woman and bush would have gone down as a slightly more popular president if you have just said that we found the weapons of mass destruction the point is that they are gas city of c. sec to get this type of response should be just as concerning to every canadian citizen is the revelation of the illegal program itself and terry was privacy minister on a convoke in even one as far as saying this resembles the activities of a taliban hereon state not a free and open society. could have said it better myself and the continuing release of these documents show how the proliferation of these type of spying tactics are not just limited to north american borders in fact as i pointed out in the show before the agreement known as the five eyes between the u.s. u.k. canada australia and new zealand has been around since world war two and it allows
1:33 pm
each of these nations to circumvent their own survey islands laws and share their illegal spying activities with each other so as we continue to turn up the heat on the you and i say here in the west and rightly so let us not forget about the other nations complicit in this criminal dragnet approach to intelligence gathering because in the end although canada might seem like the less aggressive version of the us when it comes to spine it looks like our docile neighbor to the north part of page right out of uncle sam's little black book. line is as old as language itself in fact the art of deceit is hardwired into every human being and it's important part of our species culture everybody lives some big sums. and as often as we lie to others every day we're lied to anywhere from ten to
1:34 pm
two hundred times according to a study done by the science museum of london that same study of two thousand individuals found that on average men lie six times a day and twice as women often his women do so how do you know when you're being lied to and more importantly how can you spot a liar tell me go over a few of the tell tale signs of dishonesty and during a break in the set producer and huge liar manwell raffaello what is going on man. and i at so i think you know we're going to use this on the political context because i think that's the most important thing and not all lies are bad right too i look for the straight writing like the poem i really tell a little boy. that you. know you some of the stories. yes you know lying isn't always bad sometimes it's people's feelings and also all of these signs aren't necessarily actual signs of lies they're just red flag wrote
1:35 pm
a book and used to kind of help tell if someone's lying the first is this is very obvious and i think of course when people think of prominent political people who have been liars bill clinton the sexual i did not have sexual relations that woman let's hear him talking about this and i'm looking to dissect what he says. sexual relations with that woman miss lewinsky i never told anybody to lie not a single time never these allegations are false and i need to go back to work for the america. needs to go back to work man and stop i think it is game i think you made a good point the last segment was that if he had just not said sexual release even if you just change the context a little bit but no this is one of those the famous most famous examples of people use right now and it's i think for two reasons one is that it really clearly
1:36 pm
exemplifies how people tend to use formal very formal language when they're lying i did not versus i didn't or a man i didn't do that for all right and then that distancing language as well right that warman miss lewinsky you know. if you know i don't really really really but of people tend to trip over words the inflections in the voice these are all the kind of telltale signs in speech let's go on to body language nixon was another big fat liar i mean everyone is in politics pretty much a liar but i mean these are the big we're all liars we're all a lie if we are they all are liars we all are liars but nixon of course that one of the most famous cases of lies let's hear from him. i have never a structure just. and i think that i could say that in my years of public life that i welcome this kind of examination because people have got to know whether or not their presidents are crooks but i'm not
1:37 pm
a crook i i everything. so what what's up with them i mean these are micro expressions and i think i don't know if we were able to see at the very end where he folds his arms and he any time that you see someone i mean and again because these are not you know exact says i'm not an exact science these are just red flags when people are open and they're relaxed that's a sign of honesty usually you close yourself off you're in the defense of these are these are signs of someone being a little bit more deceitful and they're called micro expressions you can catch it in people's movements in the way that even in the way that they speak and i feel really bad for dick nixon because he always sweat a lot in fact that's one of the lessons that he lost the debate against kennedy before he became president was because he was sweating a lot and that kind of it's amazing every time you look at a press secretary they're just so why do you look nervous there's a line cause there although there are job american jobs just filtering through all the people asking questions if they can why their way out of it dick cheney there
1:38 pm
in congress you know and i'm sorry this is this is a great one within body language in congress when somebody is like telling you something but then like nodding their head like yeah i'd be happy to take a paternity. though those are the ones that are easy to catch but you got to be looking for yeah once people start looking for lies if they're easier to spot and as you mentioned earlier like it like facing toward an exit or facing like you want to get away your body language can be you know it's the exit test police use that a lot in interrogations because nobody you know police are trained to spot people use tactics like telling people to repeat can you repeat that i didn't actually hear that tend to go over that story you know what tell your story back and see how they do there when people are put up and in a corner like that their body language tends to point toward the let me get them out of here dick cheney huge liar i don't know if you ever really had a word of truth there oh i just look at it out of this and i'm sorry that we don't have a better picture of him actually i'm sorry and there's really isn't a lot of this actually pretty good symmetry in the face is tends to. be
1:39 pm
a good sign of dishonesty and one of those the really stands out is contempt and this is a could all sit here i'll let you thought it was a look at them from good old dick here you know the curl in the mouth this gal does have contempt for everyone around here a good time and he might not even have been lying right there this is it also just well we looked every day so we can move on without talking about bush the master of water only three have been for a while let's play it. the main reason we went and you're right it's a time was we thought he had weapons of mass destruction he didn't but he had the capacity to make weapons of mass destruction also talked about the human suffering around and also talked a need to advance of freedom agenda. and so my question my answer to your question is this is a measure of world which is omniscient and once you're stirring up even more trouble in a part of the world. so much there's so much it's
1:40 pm
reached people came and killed three thousand of our citizens oh my god oh my god he just said like ten different things circularly back to remember not all of it this is what's known as a logical fallacy and this is particularly important that people know how to spot when they're looking at politicians on the news or in press conferences that among the many logical fallacies that bush was responsible for was red herring right otherwise known as changing the goalpost we talking about the real reason why we invaded iraq and then he goes full circle and brings about put what about what about not a label to force if we didn't do that and what could have been. my argument or something bad's going to happen and i have to say about this up it goes both ways journalist it's also the responsibility of journalists and people to decipher of these lies from politicians and report on them accurately it's not it's a two way street the lie doesn't work unless someone believes the lie right i mean you're watching you're watching politicians and if journalists aren't catching
1:41 pm
these logical fallacies aren't catching these signs then they're feeding into it because at the end of the day a lie is only good if the person that's being lied to accept that lie right so in a lot of ways it's almost a mutual understand and when it's as obvious as bush i mean really i don't there's no excuse for the establishment press and really every person in the press to accept that at face value i mean it's outrageous thank you so much man a really enlightening subject is out liar how do. you know. shocking reaction through obama's state of being and figure out. the whole economy is tripping around tripping like you yes i'm a global financial flashback to two thousand and seven when a bank. there's first drop the acid trip called a liquidity crisis which led to the financial crash and burn which led to the dopes and their central banks dropping water cash while astral planing from their imaginary helicopter and saying one print makes you larger and one paper
1:42 pm
makes you smile and the money that china gives you doesn't do anything at all go ask janet when she's ten feet tall yes it's been a whole. trip no where. the. gentleman i guess you all know you. are. even a few hundred a day come across the believe that. this is going to be so good for them remember that we've got people coming in that are littered with criminals we got people from it who knows where in the world this is the united states i'm very
1:43 pm
tough by the way you know sure i was worried that they'd been on no one in the live on mars you know mars. so we picked up things like. truman's prayer rugs so when we know they do they're coming from the middle east concentration camp. concentration camp. we've got it has the right not even want to disclose the fact that. a stranger. so obama's state of the union was as we expected all political pandering basis platitudes and of course every mainstream t.v. anchor was in a dizzy trying to decipher every word in order to rally their party base
1:44 pm
immediately following the presidential address the g.o.p. put up their best and brightest to offer a hard hitting rebuttal. the president talks a lot about income inequality but the real gap we face today is one of opportunity inequality and with this administration's policies that gap has become far too wide . wow brilliant retort by representative cathy mcmorris rodgers and the rest of her speech was plain painful to watch because it down it was apparently the republican party thinks it's going to save itself by treating americans like a bunch of glue eating five year olds moving on from this charade to another rogers then went on c.n.n. with wolf blitzer and got a chance to answer a real question about women's pay considering how right now women still make seventy seven cents for every dollar a man does. so you want the president when he says that there should be laws mandating equal pay for equal work for women yes yes absolutely.
1:45 pm
republicans and i support equal pay for equal work my message last night was one about empowering everyone in this country no matter what your background no matter where you live what corner of the country no matter what your experiences are we want you to have the opportunity for a better life also i guess we can expect pale in the second to prove how much she supports women with all our political power right spider start support of obama's rhetoric care rogers has already voted against laws specifically addressing the pay disparity between men and women not once not twice but four times and two of those times were against the paycheck fairness act which was aimed at ending salaries secrecies so women could be more aware of bias and discrimination in the workplace but all of this just isn't surprising considering how washington is built on lies hell d.c. should just be called d.c. to say what you need to get elected and then don't do any of it however admits the
1:46 pm
noise of the republican machine base as they calling obama a socialist there was an actual socialist offering her own response to the speech. these problems are not new and not an accident where king people faced nearly four decades. wage stagnation and rising income inequality these for decades with former republican presidents and freedom of credit presidents for decades that show that neither party is capable of solving these problems and that they fundamentally represent the same interests the interests of the super wealthy and because permissions what parties bowed down before the free market and loyally serve the interests of their corporate masters where the only difference being in the matter of degree. word i would want the first official socialist elected to
1:47 pm
a political position in decades her entire statement is not only genuine it's officially a bad ass i can't tell you how refreshing it is to hear someone in the elected position calling out our political reality exactly as it is so one goes on a shred of pretty much every portion of the state of the union from fracking to the minimum wage and offers a hard hitting critique of how all of it is just perpetuating the same destructive status quo so one has caused quite the upset in the verge of two party dictatorship by winning a landmark ninety three thousand votes to defeat a longtime democratic incumbent in seattle she won soley on individual donations of those who believed in her radical platform and refused a dime from big business for the campaign so walk back to mcmorris rodgers continues to teach a preschool class on opportunity and he quality so want to speak in a hard truth to power that people are finally ready to hear.
1:48 pm
the supreme court recently heard opening arguments for a case called the harris quinn it's a decision involving home care workers employed by the state of illinois who are resisting their state union choosing instead to opt out of the mandatory union fees for representation the concern among supporters for labor unions is that the supreme court could overturn almost forty years worth of legal precedent that is given leverage for the organized labor movement and on the surface this case seems fairly innocuous and knock us excuse me as it has received little to no attention by the corporate media its outcome could have damning implications for the future of unions and middle class workers all across the nation earlier today i was joined by craig bakker general counsel with the a.f.l. c.i.a.o. to discuss this case and i first asked him why it's problematic that state work. opt out of pain union fees. there's nothing problematic with people opting out and
1:49 pm
that's what the law already provide so the law already provides and has provided for decades and no one is required to be a union member so if as in this case a majority of the workers who wish to be represented then in the public sector as well as in the private sector the union represents everybody in the unit so if they negotiate a wage increase everybody gets it not just union members if someone gets fired or is treated unfairly the union has an obligation to represent everybody no one has to be a member of the union and the only thing that can be required of him is required by alan oil is that everyone pay their share of the cost of representation so that's different from union dues which might say a contribution to a political candidate it's just paying your fair share of the cost of the representation that's all that can be required that's all that's at issue here supreme courts making this case into a free speech issue what is your opinion about that how is this a free speech issue or the argument about free speech is really about free
1:50 pm
association so the notion is that there's some form of compelled association here that these individuals who brought the challenge don't wish to be represented by the union and don't wish to associate with the union don't wish to support the union even though the unions brought them a wage increase and they represent them if they have a grievance so the notion is that it's a form of forced association now over forty years ago the supreme court said that's a form of forced association which is justified by the way the system of collective bargaining works if you have one representative it works better when you have one representative it works better when that representative has a duty to represent everybody and that's not going to work if you allow people to essentially be free riders so there is an argument about free association and forced association but it is one that the supreme court has spoken to some four decades ago. and the case. as you mentioned it's about the state of illinois would
1:51 pm
this have been the cations on unions nationwide the more narrow but very significant implication is that the organization of this type of work or at least home care workers is probably one of the biggest organizing successes of the last twenty five years by unions so in california illinois oregon washington these workers have organized and it's a very rapidly expanding occupation and the population is aging more people wish to be cared for at home as opposed to an institution so as unions organize these workers at the same time there were more and more of these workers. a million workers nationwide have been organized under these types of laws so the notion that you could have these laws are unconstitutional or that the linchpin of what makes organizing and representation successful that is the ability to have everyone pay the cost to not impose a cost only on members is threatened by this litigation that's the narrow implication the broader implication is that the court order at least justice alito
1:52 pm
essentially invited a broader challenge to the notion of exclusive representation and the so-called fair share for these. about a year and a half ago in a case called nocs which involved again a narrower issue a but in which he explicitly questioned this whole forty years of precedent allowing exclusive representation in the collection of these fair share fees in the public sector and that broader challenge is also ready to shoot so that would in all the states in which we have public sector collective bargaining about half the states really fundamentally change the nature of that bargaining if the broader argument was accepted was he referring to the three detroit board of education exactly. so it could affect that ruling in the broader sense from a very much. plaintiffs although they originally brought the case as the narrower challenge and it was litigated in the district court in the court of appeals. on the seventh circuit on the narrow grounds the put the question essentially being
1:53 pm
does the rationale of the bood which up held fair share fees in the public sector apply to these workers who are considerably only jointly employed by the state as the state pays their wages so that's their wages provides various benefits but they're actually hired and fired by the customers who take care of them so it's a joint employment does that rational of a boot apply in this context that was the original argument encouraged by justice alito as opinion and knocks the plaintiffs have now explicitly asked for a boot to be overturned so much more for law and and really radical argument indeed for those who don't really understand the right to work and and kind of the union issue in general is there any direct evidence that right to work states have any sort of different safety standards or pay difference is the non right to work states. in the use of the term right to work is very appropriate if we usually think of the term right to work as applying in the private sector it is in the
1:54 pm
private sector we have a federal law which allows exclusive representation which allows the collection of fees to be used to fund the cost of that representation except in states which adopted so-called right to work laws. which prohibit such arrangements what this case would do if the more radical argument was accepted was essentially constitutionalized the principle of right to work in the public sector and there is lots of evidence of the type you describe and there is evidence which shows that right to work law is correlated with lower union representation lower wages. lower safety lower wages. lack of benefits pension health care or other benefits or workplace safety the whole gamut of what you would expect where you have less union density and we have but a minute left but. what would this or would this rather. have an effect on political representation and sort of the electoral process it would impose
1:55 pm
a burden on the unions treasury is that it would essentially require members and their dues to support the cost of representing other people and not members and collect the bar so by weakening the unions generally it would certainly have indirect implications in the political arena but this could have severe because shien's on the labor movement as a whole kind of set it back. quite a bit well you know as justice briar said quite pointedly in argument this would really be a return to the one nine hundred thirty s. in terms of the court's intervention in labor relations so it would really i'm in how the court intruding into what half the states have said they want their system of relations with their own employees to be so it would be very radical potentially very radical disruption of that process extremely important case i wonder why we're not hearing about it much thank you so much for coming on breaking it down a very enlightening craig bakker general counsel american federation of labor and
1:56 pm
congress of industrial organizations appreciate your time pleasure. that's our show you guys on break this out all over again next week. in two thousand and seven one of the first things released by wiki leaks was a secret video recording that actually looked like a video showing two american actually political actors opening fire of a dozen people in iraq this is going to means to leave them aside the images of violence become all this is what the sense of isolation lack of empathy look like. when we turn an experience into a spectacle only disassociate. and body and action from that activity but we also have to say there's certain kinds of moral investment i absolutely am frightened of the potential. games desensitize people you know they
1:57 pm
can because the military uses games. as. war is not simply put it is killing and killing. exacts a penalty of the killer. people for whom. it is defined by the popular media that. gentleman i guess you'll only. see it even a few hundred a day come across it honestly. i'm going to go kill them.
1:58 pm
we've got people coming in with criminals we've got people from who knows where in the world this is the united states i'm very tough by the way you know to sure i was worried that they may not know why they live on mars you know mars. so we pick up things like. turbans prayer rugs so when we know they do they're coming from the middle east i think it's concentration camp. concentration camp. as if the white house is not even want to disclose the fact that. a stranger.
1:59 pm
on june sixteenth one thousand forty one we had a graduation party at school and the war broke out. the shops were always full of goods. but in september leningrad was blocked. one day mom went and saw that all the shelves were empty. in november they bombed the warehouses it was the main storage place for all the food in the city people eating the earth because it had small traces of sugar in it i tried to eat it as well but i couldn't. credibly heavy bombing. it was a direct hit on that very shelter and everyone was buried underneath. all of the.
