lentil little. rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want. a little. think. everybody. should you know the press is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution which says that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy. will. never go on 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 real discussion critical issues facing camera ready to join the movement then welcome to the big. welcome back to the big picture i'm tom arbonne coming up in this half hour it's about the jobs stupid when the republicans realize the reagan was right the government needs to be the employer of last resort to help get our economy back on track and the average american taxpayer making fifty grand a year pays just over twenty two dollars a year in taxes for unemployment insurance compare that to the six thousand they pay in subsidies to billion dollar corporations that's wrong with this picture and what can be done about.

the rest of the news president obama could make history and not in a good way it's called roche points out over a prag president obama's presidency may be the first in the post-war era to average negative government jobs growth since two thousand and nine the government were. forces shed over seven hundred forty three thousand jobs or roughly three point one percent of the total workforce so let's compare that to the republican savior ronald reagan over six hundred thirty thousand government jobs were created during reagan's first year in office expanding the size of government by three point eight percent and by the time reagan left the white house the government workforce and grown by nine percent as rose as roche points out if obama had put up similar numbers during his first five years in the white house there would be around one point five million more americans employed today it would be seen record levels of

employment across our country course republicans have been purposely sabotaging the obama presidency and crashing the economy so president obama hasn't been able to do much by way of job creation but better late than never right is it time to make the us government the employer of last resort once again and put millions of americans back to work and kavanaugh use out of it with the national review jim welcome back to the record to see a national review good organization thank you millions of americans are boy. we have capitalism period periodical pick ups this is just the nature of capitalism sometimes and sometimes it goes. and it's in one of those hiccups right now it isn't if the purpose of the government of our government is of articulated in the both in the declaration and in the constitution particular the preamble is to provide for the for the public welfare the general good shouldn't the government be the employer of last resort. no and it's not

a it doesn't seem to work when it's put into effect i mean the w.p.a. didn't. really want anyone in half in four years you know you're on to something interesting which is that during the during the two big recessions that constituted the so-called great depression we saw a much faster jobs creation and this was not. thanks to the w.p.a. this was in the general economy and even back then you can imagine even now the government can't really make more than a drop in the ocean of the economy and back then it was even smaller they made a significant change we went from unemployment rates there were roughly thirty percent. rates you were going to work out around ten percent and josaphat four years i know but the world were really getting we're back almost a century at this point but if you actually want to work total it out well. you know ties are going to seem clear and i mean it was in our head of the waiting jobs when eisenhower you know what we were not these were when i say we had the

unemployment when you see the unemployment rate dropping from thirty three to about thirty seven or so that is a result of private sector job creation far more than every result of government job to create the preceding three years herbert hoover's response to the great crash which was almost the same as roosevelt had been one of the well we know he was when he lets out a teleconference with the last time he threw not until his last nine months he basically sat back and says this you know now i was saying to liquidate everything i think it's worth engaging that but i don't think we should go back all the way to hoover we're talking about how presidents all basically govern the same way and i i believe that's true maybe you disagree but what reagan did was was a mentor of mine i was doing i know obama and he would and would be well served to do continued. you know some of reagan's greatest achievements actually were following carter initiative reagan increased the size of i mean a kind of what happens is when you increase the size of government during

a result as you try to finish the sentence or when you hire more people you increase the size of the you hire more people nine percent of the government i mean government largest single sector you increase that by nine percent during a recession those people spend money and that creates demand in the real economy which then creates you know causes people to hire people more people and then that causes creates more demand and then you're in that virtuous cycle. yeah and regen i mean the so-called reagan recession was was brief and sharp and followed by a very rapid recovery as you can see it was sort of. the economy the obligates where we didn't know we did what do you mean all you guys blame him and volcker for jacking up the interest rates and stopping inflation i mean he cut off that was big i was going worse of senior ridge reagan trip tripled the national debt he borrowed over two trillion dollars and spent and he marries the size of government by nine percent more than any other president in modern era this was this was dick cheney he said he taught us that that says don't matter right exactly and

frankly i think he did i think i really think he did and i think he was taught you guys all of that while he was repeating what eisenhower did eisenhower a horrible recession in fifty two fifty three what did he do the national highway system put tens of thousands of people to work building roads this is these numbers don't you you respect the numbers and you understand it when you say the national highway system created whatever so how many thousands of jobs this is that's a drop in the bucket to an economy that is what it was last month what we don't have right now is a robust economy creating jobs because we've laid off six hundred seven hundred thousand government employees that doesn't make up the numbers no it there that you know great six hundred seven hundred thousand we're not mcmillian we're talking you're you're absolutely right and six or seven hundred thousand people if if they had been added instead of subtracted bagmen added millions more are going to and we . understand then what yes absolutely if you had one and a half million more government employees there is if we go down the reagan rodents

that of the instead of the sequester road those people would then be generating two or three million jobs in the private sector and you'd see unemployment down around three and a half percent where it wasn't regular you know we make fun of the medieval school last assessed for arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin this is i'm talking about what you are admitting to in american history who counterfactual you were taught to please please tell me any time we have cut our way to prosperity. the whining in the break you know reagan be exploded government said why were you guys all saying he was coming everything you were relieved that he didn't think it was me you will be missing is out of education the unemployment we have out of education is many things coming out as education he was moving things out of education into the military but he was still spending like crazy any and said we're out of we're at. great talking with you we'll be back to.

is the good the bad in the very very now foliage in asli ugly. michael sam in an article published yesterday the new york times the university of missouri college football star came out as gay sam is considered one of the top defensive prospects of coming and f.l. draft and if he is selected by any one of the league's thirty two teams he will become the first openly gay player in f.l. history for its part the n.f.l. has already announced its support for sam saying in a statement that it admires his honesty and courage and looks forward to welcoming him in two thousand and fourteen it's never easy to come out especially in a public forum like the new york times michael sam should be proud of himself and so should the n.f.l. for doing the right thing and can graduating a potential star the bat the anonymous n.f.l. executive unfortunately not everyone has been so welcoming of the idea of an openly gay n.f.l. player an unnamed n.f.l. executive told sports illustrated on sunday that he doesn't think that football is

ready for an openly gay player just yet become a decade or two it's going to be acceptable but at this point in time it's still a man man's game. this just does not add up with the facts since michael sam came out on sunday a number of n.f.l. stars and publicly declared their support super bowl of bowl and m.v.p. balcombe smith for example. tweeted out there's no room for bigotry in american sports it takes courage to change the culture dozens of other players' executives tweeted out similar messages of support are definitely homophobes in the n.f.l. like the rest of society league is growing more accepting of sexual abuse the unnamed executive who said otherwise the sports illustrated should be ashamed of himself in large part for refusing to even put his name on his own statement this definitely is definitely the best. and the very very ugly the copenhagen zoo the zoo is under fire today for killing

a healthy male giraffe and feeding it to the lion it's yes that actually happened check it out to. copenhagen zoo chose to euthanize. healthy male to wrath so what void inbreeding but then the animal was dismembered in front of an audience that included children and fed to the zoo's lions animal activists started an online petition to save mario but the zoo said it had no place for him and its giraffe herd and i thought denmark was supposed to be a more annoyed place that is for you. coming up if you listen to republican talking points you probably think the government programs like on employment insurance and food stamps are very corrupt in america and are costing taxpayers too much money that's just not the case there is something though that's costing taxpayers a lot of money i'll tell you what that is and i still retain.

the. we welcome erin eight and abby martin to be terrific hosts on the our team network . it's going to give you a different perspective give me one stock tip i'll never i'll give you the information you make the decision to me about how breaking this is the revolution of the mind it's a revolution of ideas and consciousness and frustrated with the system that's

trying to apologise would be described as angry i think in a strong enough either single. wealthy british style. time to. time. market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kinds a report on our. i marinate joining me. for in-depth impartial and financial reporting commentary

interviews and much much. only on bombast and. i've got a quote for you. that's pretty tough. stay with substory. let's get this guy like you would smear about guns instead of working for the people both issues the beach media or preacher bridegrooms vision. of the. were so sometimes you know what you know sometimes you know what you don't know and sometimes as the firesign theater says a brief thing you know is wrong and i don't think you're wrong if you are you're right since you're out to see things that you're. really doing you

know is wrong or when it first came out the book fifty shades of grey took the world by storm the erotic novels set bookselling records left and right but the romance of erotic novel category has been for a long time before the fifty shades of grey frenzy began there been stories about dashing princes saving damsels in distress and taking voyages with rough and rugged pirates but what's there's not been a lot of our stories about sexual liaison with the monsters and mythical beasts until now so if you think that mythical beast have no place in erotica novels everything you don't was wrong joining me now is virginia wade rhotic author and and author of the monster porn it column for big foot virginia welcome. i thank you for having me thanks for joining us if a way isn't this harkening back to the old greek and roman mythology story is that

actually involved you know humans and non-human. sometimes this kind of odd sexual is what's. on promptly definitely with the fantasy angle yeah so how did you start writing monster erotic stories. while i started writing just regular erotic stories and i wasn't having a lot of success with a lot of girls and then i had this crazy idea to do you are a big story where these girls go into the woods and they get kidnapped a big part. of that is a true what they say about never by. parallel what were your and what were your influences. on just a crazy idea i had done like an erotic version of jane austen's novels and idea the phantom of the opera version so i

just you know i go with my crazy ideas and that was just one of them jane austin and phantom of the opera are those are serious read so i mean you know jane austen . is. when you're writing are you are you trying to produce something that's actually literate or are you are you thinking in terms of this is commercial or what's what or what is it that you think you're producing as you're producing well we have eight minutes. and i don't really take it all that seriously i think a lot of my story you tell it like a humorist to them big boy it was just you know a silly idea that it ended up exploding and jane austen spoofs were just taking doris. and elizabeth you know into the bedroom and and going into detail so it was just me being completely naive why do you think i'm for bigfoot the leisure

now has been so successful. and i think it's it's the female fantasy it's like capture fantasy of being kidnapped in the woods and ravish by this beast and a lot of my stories they end up falling in love. remarkable. what's your favorite monster. bigfoot for sure he's the sexiest you know he sees it but he's really great in the sack so i understand your parents help to write some of these books is . kind of strange no my dad is an english instructor and he edited the books and i'm on german so she's translated into german. you know it's a family affair quite a story here what's next. right now i'm kind of telling him biology.

and feeling that he is about to be published where i have a new story and that but i'm also working on another name because amazon really clamp down on the product so i've kind of moved over to a safer romance pathname well that's interesting so you're experiencing censorship . well i guess technically i don't know it's more like they're cleaning up their store i think as erotica writers we all got a little bit too filthy our covers were a little too racy or titles were a little to not be so amazon's call it porn. now i think they're still calling it our product yes but we don't want it to be front and center so we've all been forced to clean up our access nice but it's kind of ruined sales in the process virginia wade. fast day thank you so much for being with us thanks for having me and now everything you know about monster erotica is right. maybe on the left

that's. when the obama supporters to the phones all but mr miller. for tonight's politically correct that i'm correct in n.b.c. news is richard engel in a report of the n.b.c. nightly news last week angle made it sound like visitors the athletes at the sochi winter olympics are being act as soon as they turned on their phones or fired up their computers take a look at. this letter to russia can expect to be hacked and as richard engle found out upon his arrival there it's not a matter of if but when richard good evening. good evening brian it is not just hacking the state department warns the travelers should have no expectation of privacy even in their hotel rooms and as we found out you are especially exposed as soon as you try and communicate with anything back at the hotel well who was using special software to monitor my two computers and sure enough they've also been

hacked you were able to tell the very very quickly somebody was exactly. but now people are saying that angle's report was misleading say the least and some are going as far as saying it was one hundred percent false it was misleading because while engle was talking about the risks of connecting to the internet while attending the sochi olympics he was filing a report from moscow and had logged on to the internet there and to make matters worse he got hacked because he opened a malware infected website that cracked open access to his computer something that his security expert certainly would predict would happen. robert graham of herat of security said that absolutely zero percent of the story was about turning on a computer and connecting to a social network one hundred percent of the story was about visiting websites remotely the claim of the story that you'll get hacked immediately upon turning on your computers is fraudulent angle was never in sochi and never touched a computer in sochi yet he was reporting that logging on to the internet and so she

was like walking into a minefield something that could happen anywhere in the country anywhere in the world and that's why he's been politically correct. let's talk about what's really costly to the average american taxpayer last thursday the senate again failed to pass legislation that would have extended long term unemployment insurance for the initially one point three million americans who were cut off from back in december that number continues to grow in the direction of two million now fifty nine senators including four republicans voted to extend unemployment insurance benefits and so by a vote of fifty nine to forty one is should have passed the senate because a clear majority voted for it the republicans in the senate chose to filibuster the extension of unemployment benefits and so lacking sixty votes on the part of the

democrats the legislation came up short many of these republicans say that america cannot afford employment insurance they say this is a lifeline. mine for millions of americans is too costly to go expensive they say they've been taxed enough already as in. tea party but unemployment insurance is not what's really costing us money according to the white house's twenty twelve tax receipt a married american with one child who made fifty thousand dollars in two thousand and twelve only paid one thousand dollars and seventy cents in taxes toward unemployment insurance similarly a married american with one child who took home fifty thousand dollars in two thousand and twelve pages seventy three dollars and forty eight cents for federal food stamp benefits. so what should american taxpayers really be outraged about according to that twenty twelve white house tax receipt which by the way wasn't what was on the screen it was on the screen was from forgetting the name of

a blog i'm sorry on democratic underground no well no actually it was reposed to vote for any in any case a married american with one child who made fifty thousand dollars in two thousand and twelve paid nearly four hundred sixty six dollars in taxes for here is this is this is from oh it's it's not on their four hundred sixty six dollars in taxes for america's military and defense programs and overall in two thousand and twelve the united states spent a whopping six hundred eighty nine billion dollars on defense and military related programs just think how strong and well funded the unemployment insurance program could be it would cut just a fraction of that defense spending and put it towards america's social safety net the amount of money americans hand over to the defense industry each year pills in comparison to what they hand over in the form of corporate subsidies in two thousand and twelve the average american taxpayer making fifty thousand dollars a year paid a staggering six thousand dollars in taxes for corporate subsidies over one hundred

seventy four times what they paid for unemployment insurance again this this is not from the white house dot gov website all of that six thousand dollars eight hundred seventy dollars. goes to direct subsidies for corporations including the likes of exxon shell b.p. and other big oil corporations that are polluting our planet and driving climate change hundreds more go to corporations is in direct subsidies in fact researchers at the university of illinois and the university of california berkeley that american taxpayers pay a staggering two hundred forty three billion dollars each year in indirect subsidies to the fast food industry it's because the fast food industry pays such low wages that we the people are forced to make up the two hundred forty three billion dollars difference to pay for the health care and other public benefits of fast food workers americans also are paying millions in indirect corporate subsidies to wal-mart the nation's largest employer america's largest retailer makes nearly thirty five thousand dollars in profits every minute and as of two

thousand and twelve the corporations annual sales were around four hundred five billion dollars but those huge profits don't trickle down to wal-mart employees one average take home just nine dollars an hour those low wages combined with very poor benefits forced many wal-mart employees to reach out to the government for assistance with health care food housing costs and others and as a result a report issued earlier this year by congressional democrats found that wal-mart's low wages and poor benefits caused american taxpayers between nine hundred thousand and one point seven five million dollars purse the war despite or republicans might try to tell you the overwhelming majority of taxpayer funds are not going to social safety net programs like unemployment or insurance or food stamps or welfare instead they're going to prop up a multi-billion dollar corporations and out of control military industrial complex that is balloon in size and power this is

a simple matter of priorities if the average american has to pay six thousand dollars in taxes and direct and indirect subsidies should they want to go to oil companies defense contractors and low wage retail and fast food. histories are should go to fund a strong social safety net including an extension of long term unemployment benefits helping americans pick themselves up and get back on their feet is more important than forking over billions to corporations that don't need it. and that's the way it is tonight monday february tenth two thousand and fourteen and don't forget democracy begins with you get out there get active tag your. old. technology innovations all the lives developments from
