did you know the prize is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because

a free and open prize is critical to our democracy. well i'm. going to go on i'm sorry and on this show we reveal the picture of what's actually going going on will we go beyond identifying the truth rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america for ready to join the movement then welcome to the. water back to the big picture i'm tom hartman coming up in this half hour the federal reserve is supposed to work for all americans but over the years it's become pretty apparent that the fed only cares about wall street and its big banks so what can we do to make the fed care about we the people and not just the wealthy elite and this weekend extremists in pakistan stormed an airport in karachi killing thirteen people. in america correctly labeled with

a terrorist attack meanwhile back here in the u.s. right wing extremists shot and killed two las vegas police officers while screaming about the revolution the media has called the crazy shooters it's now time for our media to admit that right wing extremism is very real and very deadly and terrorism . and in the best of the rest of the news when congress finally approves him as vice chair of the federal reserve board of governors stanley fischer will be joining a very elite club that fisher is already a member of the board of governors but as the feds vice chair he will be second in command of janet yellen who took over as federal reserve chair woman in february and he will have a huge influence over america's fiscal policy by washington standards fis fischer definitely looks the part of the fed board governor after all he's accomplished

economist former head of the bank of israel when another spot opens up on the federal reserve board of governors list there's a very good chance that president obama will pick someone like fisher to take that spot but that doesn't mean he should of the five people currently on the federal reserve board of governors fisher included two are lawyers and three are economists but by law the board of governors is supposed to include quote fair representation of the agriculture financial agricultural industrial and commercial interests and quote right now it's basically just a place for more of these professional leads with wall street connections so what should president obama be doing to make sure the fed works for all americans not just wall street and how could creating a people's fed help jumpstart our economy joining me now for more on this is richard esque out senior fellow at the campaign for america's future and host of those zero hour richard welcome back. always good to be here great to have you with

us your newest piece in the huffington post is about the dominance of the feds border governor governors by northeastern professional leads the fed it what it was set up was supposed to be representative of america why isn't it. well you know it's interesting how the governance of the federal reserve every president republican and democratic seems to feel free to ignore the law and its leadership seems to the law it says that the board of governors of the fed as you said should and could this cross section of people the law also says by the way that the fed has a dual mandate to manage inflation and reduce unemployment and they seem to ignore the employment part of the mandate too but but in terms of governance the idea was when the fed was created in one thousand nine hundred thirteen there should be a cross-section of the people whose lives it was going to affect now in those days that man farmers who had just been through the panic of one thousand nine hundred seven it meant commercial and industrial interests and it meant people all across

the country these sorts of concerns all across the country because we didn't have the dominance of national banks we have today now we have a consumer finance consumer banking as a huge part of the economy it was nothing like that one hundred years ago but nobody is representing consumers on the board we have labor as a huge force in american life nobody represents labor on the board we certainly don't have a geographic diversity we have economists we have lawyers a president has another nominee waiting in the wings she teaches economics there was talk he was going to nominate the under secretary of treasury under ten geithner he's a lawyer and on it goes we need to get the feds governance and its mission back to what it was supposed to be janet yellen and so that she wants to put a community banker on the fed's board of governors. would that be a good idea. a small bank or a local bank or maybe somebody from

a credit union even. sure i mean depending on who it is absolutely i think a community bankers a great idea because the we in the fed also has local boards for each of its regional banks they're overwhelmingly dominated by the mega bankers especially the new york fed so be great to have some of these commune there are more than seven thousand or nearly seven thousand community banks in the country be great to see them represented but why not also have public banking represented we have the state of north dakota that has a very well run public banks state banks so why don't we think outside the box a little bit more when we're looking at putting people into the fed you've argued that we need to create something called the people's faith what i mean by that. well in a sense i mean i you know after i made up the term i thought it's kind of a redundancy because people also forget it's so dominated by banking and corporate interest people forget that the fed is already the people's fed it was created by

congress it's a government creation it is not the banks doing it for each other it's something that the people created in order to get rid of financial instability at blues and later to boost employment and it's something you know we were having these terrible problems because there was no central bank ok the people created it all i mean by the people's fed is that it should represent the people who created it and whose lives it touches and nowadays that's pretty much all of us some of your good plan on another topic if i may you're you're pretty much a polymath it's a renaissance man the we're hearing reports today that gerrard and amanda miller the two was a vegas shooters were clive and bundy supporters that had extreme anti-government views in fact this clip just popped out of one of the law's vegas t.v. stations of jerad miller the killer of these two police officers and the civilians . all three of whom by the way were armed which kind of blows up the n.r.a.

thing about the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun both police officers were armed and the guy he got who was killed in the mall was had a concealed carry permit and was trying to disarm jerad miller one when his girlfriend stepped up behind the guy and shot him but anyhow here's the clip has come out of jury jerad miller at the bundy ranch check this out. i feel sorry for any federal agents that want to come in here and try to push us around or anything like that i really don't want violence toward them but if they're going to bring violence to us well if that's the language they want to speak we'll learn it. now there probably wouldn't have been anybody at the bundy ranch or sean hannity hadn't pluck this guy out of obscurity and then fox done a twenty four seven you know whatever i mean they were there. hannity kept trying to talk about you know is this going to be the next waco is this going to the next ruby ridge oh boy oh boy. what does this say about what's

going on on the american right. well i mean i think it says a couple things first of all you're absolutely right about the n.r.a. and you can't prevent these disasters by having people walking around carrying guns you know particularly at a point that there was a shooting at a christian university in the northwest over the weekend where the shooter was disarmed by a student guard with pepper spray so. that fanaticism needs to stop but secondly we have to stop the zone of silence that the media is thrown up around talking about the inflammatory rhetoric of fox news the inflammatory rhetoric of lock n load michele bachmann the inflammatory rhetoric of glenn back and show you know i got to tell you even one of the of the very liberal web sites for whom i write i wrote a piece about the murder in the killing of a house cat belonging to a democratic candidate in the deep sea. now where the killer is killed the cat

carved the word liberal on its side and left it for the candidates children to find that the publication wouldn't publish the piece because it mentioned that the killer is were using some similar rhetoric to sean hannity they said we don't associate people's rhetoric with acts of violence well you know i kind of think it's not in a libelous way but i think i kind of think it's appropriate to say we're not trying to take away anybody's civil rights or rights of free speech but when you speak violent rhetoric and violent things happen the killer in knoxville who had o'reilly and hannity as and goldberg spoke on his shelf if that happened to you or me tom we'd be devastated and i think it's right to point to call out to the consciences of fox news and the consciences of the country to say you know what your violent rhetoric is sean hannity's in the case of clive and bundy could be contributing to this climate and police search your conscience other than there is you know there are there is an element of yelling fire in

a crowded theater i think. how do we and i wonder if back in the sixty's you could argue that the weather underground was the violent left and right you know some people died a bunch of buildings got blown up but mostly they had been already disowned by s.d.s. itself and. you know that they haven't been around for a long time you know for forty years is there is there was i think we're right when phenomenon we had more people since nine eleven killed by right wing extremists than by muslim extremists is the times are calling right and the wrists. absolutely and can you imagine if instead of swastikas in their apartment this couple had crescent flags and so on absolutely we should call them terrorists and i think the issue is yes there is that people can have violent inclinations all across the political spectrum i think the question is what do the responsible mainstream

legitimate so-called people do about it in other words will always have crazies but when the weather underground was out there that one perhaps one of the reasons they didn't propagate is because you never heard a democratic politician talking them up you never had a television network promoting them as heroes you never had a glenn back pumping himself up with penn jillette which was an absurd sight to see in the gym one day talking about how we're going to go to the mountains and fight a revolution i think that and you never have people saying conservatives in you know should be beaten with a baseball bat and all that rhetoric we're seeing on the right so i think this so-called legitimate spokespeople to bill o'reilly's in the sean hannity's are exactly the people we should be calling out to say you're think about whether you contributing to this atmosphere and whether you shouldn't stop there are powerful stuff richard asco thanks so much. thank you tom. coming up the mainstream media

is refusing to call america's most dangerous terrorists what they are terrorists i'll tell you who those terrorists are why the media needs to call it that night still.

i would rather ask 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 r.t. question more. your friends post a photo from of the case and you can't. be different. your boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend

conservative pundit argued that the ongoing debate about how to limit campus sexual assault is giving rape victims on campuses a coveted status seriously well said colleges and universities are being educated by washington and are finding the experience excruciating they're learning that when they say campus victimizations are ubiquitous and that when they make victimhood a coveted status that confers privileges victims proliferate consider the supposed campus epidemic of rape a sexual assault. translated into non pretentious normal human person speak. terms that george will is basically saying is that people are faking getting raped so they can get special privileges from their college. it's exactly that kind of thinking that makes the problem of sexual assault so hard to solve in the first place. this is very true.

there were two terrorist attacks in america over the last weekend but don't expect the mainstream media to call them on friday forty year old forty eight year old georgia residents dennis marx was scheduled to appear at the forsyth county courthouse in cumming georgia to face charges on eleven different felony counts. forsyth arrived at the courthouse on time but while it is truck he threw homemade spike strips onto the road and tried to run over a couple of policeman after police opened fire on him forsyth began shooting at them from his truck and proceeded to throw tier yes grenades and smoke grenades and pepper sprayed in the grenades at the police after a three minute long fire fight
