wake up and start talking about the real causes a problem. i . think. they would like to do if you did you know the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution which says that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy shrek. will. never go on i'm sorry and on this show we reveal the picture of what's actually going on and we go beyond identifying the truth rational debate and real discussion critical issues facing him up for ready to join the movement then welcome to the big picture.

well i'm just more about washington d.c. and here's what's coming up tonight on the big picture just hours ago house majority leader eric cantor announced that he would be stepping down from his position after losing in a primary to dave brat an upstart tea party challenger brett maybe but as dave brat really just some random tea party challenger was his victory in less than eight years in the making also in an impromptu press conference yesterday president obama was pretty blunt about washington's failure to address the gun violence epidemic in our country in america averaging more than one school shooting a week isn't it time to put politics aside and finally pass some meaningful gun reform legislation that and more into nights when the program. you need to know this dark money is flowing like water in washington last night

house majority leader eric cantor who has always been considered one of the more conservative members of the house lost in a primary to upstart tea party challenger dave brat. at an economics college professor was vastly vastly outraised by cantore and most polls leading up to the primary showed cantor with a very comfortable lead over brat in the immediate aftermath of last night's shocker in virginia analysts of the same brat's victory was just a fluke well it couldn't be more wrong dave's brads victory was not a fluke and he isn't just some tea party an economics college professor from virginia both he and his victory have dark money written all over them back in two thousand and eight during america's financial collapse and b.b. and t. bank was one of the many big banks that crashed or to stay afloat that bank took a three point one billion dollar bailout from the bush administration at the helm of the bank at that time was john allison in iran rand loving c.e.o.

according to the street during his time as c.e.o. of b.b. and t. allison regularly use the b.b. and t. charitable foundation to provide grants to schools that agree to create courses on capitalism the feature of the study of atlas shrugged. i know it sounds crazy but meanwhile according to new york magazine brought one in five hundred thousand dollars fellowship funded by libertarian banking millionaire john allison the guy we just mentioned has spread the word of iran to impressionable college students shortly after b.b. and t. accepted three point one billion dollars from the bush administration alice has resigned as c.e.o. it was picked up by charles koch to become the new president of the cato institute formerly known as the charles koch foundation and he keeps spreading the word of iran much like the b.b. and t. charitable fund koch allied groups like the cato institute spent millions of dollars putting college professors in economics departments all across the country

so that they can spread the good word of i and rand and help create a libertarian paradise here in america just like in somalia as think progress pointed out back in two thousand and eleven florida state university's economics department accepted a one point five million dollars grant from the charles g. koch charitable foundation of the cato institute which would provide funding for new professors but would likely teach about iran to the libertarian economics similarly koch brag groups have given money to a number of other universities including west virginia university george mason university clemson university even the ivy league brown university basically the code to push to spend the millions and millions of dollars placing college professors in econ departments across the country so that they can promote iran and the libertarian philosophy to future generations of americans so dave brat is far more than just a college professor who beat eric cantor in a fluke of a primary he's a complete shill for iran loving libertarians and the koch brothers and he's apparently a graduate of the coke to puss teach i and rand in college do well and will send

you to washington program besides saying that bratz win was just a fluke in that he's just a college professor pundits have also been noted in the cantor lost to brat because of his stances on immigration because he ran a poor campaign. again that couldn't be farther from the truth last night after cantor was declared the loser talking heads on fox so-called news praised the power of talk radio and gave credit to right wing talk radio pundits particularly laura ingraham and mark levin for brats when. let me make a point about the level of support we're looking for ways we can figure out how this guy did this right i mean you know anybody who did any advertising you didn't even believe it and you heard laura saying the tea party organizations that we may have heard of didn't really support him in any way but who did well are did and look there are parts of this country where if laura ingram and and coulter and mark

levin are on the radio supporting you that's worth a lot in fact if somebody said would you rather have you know the freedom works behind you or would you rather have any of those three radio talk show hosts in there plug in for you day by day i think i know what my choice would be i think we credit is probably well deserved that's because for weeks leading up to last night's primary and levon absolutely pounded eric cantor at every chance possible their respective radio programs meanwhile they were preaching to the people of virginia that dave brat was their guy and he was the man who should be in washington not eric cantor so why we're in a room and cantor so hard well it's political brilliantly pointed out earlier this year a political review of filings of the internal revenue service in federal election commission as well as interviews and reviews of radio shows that conservative groups spent nearly twenty two million dollars to broker and pay for involved advertising relationships known as bonser ships with

a handful of influential talkers including back sean hannity laura ingram mark levin and rush limbaugh between the first talk radio deals of twenty in two thousand and eight and the end of two thousand and twelve and you guessed it phillida groups were the first among the conservative groups handing out that money . to the right wing talking machine political further noted that the koch brothers backed americans for prosperity paid at least seven hundred fifty seven thousand dollars primarily to sponsor mark levin's radio show sponsorship that covered part of the two thousand and twelve cycle so the koch brothers gave over seven hundred thousand dollars to mark levin same man who promoted dave brat the koch brothers funded college professor for months and while specific numbers aren't known about ingram she's also subsidized by the koch brothers according to politico which could help explain her eagerness to slam eric cantor and promote brat this is not to allege any sort of corruption on the part of lubin or ingram supported somebody with money who you already supports politicians you support is just good political

investing and doing it under the radar is particularly useful when harry reid is calling you out on the floor of the senate as he has been doing to the koch brothers bottom line here is david brat didn't beat eric cantor because cantor's campaign was poor because of his immigration stance lindsey graham at the same in immigration stance and took a sixty percent victory brads victory over cantor was not a fluke what happened last night in virginia was in the works for years and has dark money written all over it let's rumble. joining me for tonight's lone liberal rubble are scott greer associate editor with the daily caller and it's all mine conservative commentator and activist thing for joining me thank you very good to have you with us so. this isn't what happened last night pretty much proof that the koch the post is running washington. that is

very very funny you know twenty two million bucks i didn't get a penny of it. well it's i don't know any you know they point out you know rush limbaugh got eight million dollars sean hannity gets six or seven mark levin got seven hundred thousand. total twenty two million there. is no equivalent on the low there is no progressive group that will pay progressive hosts to either be on the air go on program any of this kind of stuff but the coke to put some in these guys there well that's because all the liberals have for n.p.r. and corporation for public service and wish and the government finding which. i don't on n.p.r. i'm most every day on hearing one of the koch brothers funded groups of americans for prosperity the american enterprise is home like i said so at first for their advertising on the radio not advertising they get the they get the most guests there are some of the who are seen put on as if they had something to say that wasn't just you know they were fronting for the billionaires well you know what i know you've who pooed that the voters in virginia where i am

a resident but not in the seventh district actually care about the issues and the stances of their elected officials but obviously this was a case where eric cantor had not been doing what he needed to be doing in his district and the voters decided to send a message and say you know what this college professor is a he's got great ideas you know it's not like eric cantor was some liberal cause he wasn't but he just wasn't paying attention to his district and he wasn't doing what he was supposed to be doing and they said this morning he was in the district once a week he was in the district every single week for the was two years well the single week sure but he also had closed down so at least one district office and you can be in the district and still be unresponsive to the needs of your contributor thought so i think saying that the coke to posts is behind brett's victory is a little disingenuous the the codes are actually supportive of amnesty in a very wanting to get the senate bill through i think them backing

a guys hard core against it and being behind his victory is not the case just because they overdo canonically i mean he's all about cutting taxes on billionaires and that's really their agenda but they would rather have a tenor in there because it's more likely to get a bill that they want and people like them want to get through i thing. saying that they're behind is victory just because they give money to mark levin and laura ingram for advertising and all their other deals like that is is not the case it's a stretch so why are they why then didn't see graham who's who is unabashedly in favor of comprehensive immigration reform when his primary was sixty percent and and eric cantor loses by all of them while lindsey graham had multiple contenders in his race so yesterday he had one only one all the opposition centered around brat wall when gramm had six republican opponents he was able to divide them and it's also a little bit different in statewide elections a lot of these times it's harder for challengers the when it gets and it is a bit under versus an incumbent is upon you know the new york times was speculating

to cantor oversaw the redistricting of his own district the gerrymandering of his own district and just made it like super conservative is it possible that he made it so super conservative that it was too conservative for him and the new york times even took that a step further they said that there were so many areas that were fundamentalist christian and rural and cantor is jewish that that might have been if i you know it never you never fail to bring up race class gender and related no i don't think republicans have any problem with a jewish member of here's the question then why did dave brat why was i saw his i watch fox news last night i watched acceptance speech and he pulls out this sign luke twelve sixteen or something like that starts quoting the bible the guy is teaching iran iran said anyone who believes in religion is by definition evil yeah that's right so he's teaching on rand and he's spouting the bible and he's and he's and he gave got five hundred grand a speech. something doesn't make sense here well no it's possible to be supportive

of some of iran's economic ideas and not be supportive of her more money are all theology and religion so that actually makes sense more of the nice long on the left or or right. the possible. it was terrible and they are looking very hard to take a. chance against their supplier has he ever had sex with the earthquake their little little. little.

least some of the people. this was in the washington well as the miss luna is being asked to add to the list of numbers among the many candidates are perceived as actually fact two and doesn't do too much for ad revenue my own tech agriculture giant teeth on a seventy six year old american farmer based in india. do you think this is going to create for the cia do you think this is what's triggering a race in america is the largest economy in the world it's also the largest debtor nation in the history of the world breaking the set is mostly about alternatives to the status quo but one might get real alternatives to the points on the working toward the american dream the next they were just trying to survive it's time for

americans and lawmakers are forced to wake up and start talking about the real causes a problem. well america. grew in chris allman let's get back to it americans have lost faith in the american dream according to a new poll from c.n.n. money for the first time ever nearly sixty percent of americans say the american dream is now unattainable young adults aged eighteen to thirty four are the ones most likely to feel that the american dream is unattainable sixty three percent i'm saying it's completely impossible sixty three percent of those polled also said that most children in the u.s. will be better off than their parents so isn't this just a complete repudiation of thirty four years of reaganomics. i will have to

say that obama in two thousand and eight campaigned on hope and change and what we're seeing from this poll is that young people have no more hope and they're looking in their pockets and finding out they have no more change and the change they are getting they change they are getting from obama is not the change that they want and that's what this poll really support is what obama has done he's taken away the hope that he promised and the change that is brought in by by not being able to get his legislation through a republican right there and you know and i were writing a book and filibusters senate so you are where they are about the economy no this is exactly the republican plan it was proclaimed in two thousand you know don't let sumach george w. bush because he said he was a united are not a divider and this president has time and time again said i will not negotiate i will not compromise well we know that's how you are made he absolutely has said that your scope over and over again he's not going to compromise on immigration not

on obamacare that's why he passed a god given with the after that january twentieth two thousand and nine strategy for our strategy meeting in the caucus room the has become so famous said we will oppose obama on every single economic bill or. publican strategy was laid out really clearly destroy the economy and people blame the president is not working it was chris bragging about work complements well to go back to the poll that shows people eighteen to thirty four are seeing the american dream dying i don't think i don't think that's because of republicans opposing obama on every economic issue it's more related to. rising student loan debt the many of these people are feeling there's less economic there's less in point pleasant prospects for them there's a whole lot of issues that you can't say it's just all that all the consoles are being obstinate so student loan debt it was republicans who pushed in two thousand and six during the bush administration

a student loan that can't be discharged by bankruptcy it was republicans who changed the rules for how colleges function in two thousand so that for profit colleges could could be i mean it's very easy who's raising tuition is so high that people are having to take no for profit colleges should more than seventy percent of poverty i'm going to you're all going very profits are graduates of for profit colleges i think that is a process that isn't yours seventy percent default or a very you're right it's a very small number because so many of them these for profit colleges are just run their banks are now getting in the college business because the you can make the most profit with these student loans it's better than more government internal miller derivative i think you're right the government's making a profit and this is this is a disaster that again brought to you by the way don't you remember one of the first meetings that obama had with the house republicans was i believe it may have been eric cantor that he said it to when they were trying to negotiate an economic bill obama said didn't you hear i want i'm not going to compromise with you i'm not

going to come to the middle well even george w. bush compromise macare was a huge compound it was not it didn't get a single vote he compromised with the democrats to get the democrat here because it was a susan collins or a or the other senator from maine voted to get it out of committee he had he he had to got it. he had to get a. letter yeah the soundness so he had to give up the public option out of order to get if they are going to do it part and to get that put out a bottom line if you've got this know how to work in a two party system and even when he controlled both houses of congress he couldn't get anything done because his ideas were not out of line for days seventy or day president controlled both houses of congress for seventy four legislative days for legislative seventy four elementally day it was it was seven months it was seven months it was from it was from you know they. what's his name the comedian al franken al franken they fought that thing and fought that thing for months and months because they could filibuster the president and finally after four months al

franken got seated and then. obama had a filibuster proof senate for seven months that was in july in january and by the way in there was the christmas vacation of the thanksgiving vacation in the summer vacation and then in january and karen out in january say seated and he lost his filibuster go back so you had three seventy four days is that really we have to look at why so many young people are think seeing the americas there got a soggy south this economy saw ansi pelosi passed a bill out of the house of representatives that would have said to corporations in america we're taking away your tax incentives to move jobs overseas and we're going to give you a tax incentive to bring them back republicans filibustered in the sun it's why it's because it would have improved the economy it would have given young people job opportunities but it's such a narrow focus is just say it's republican obstinance it is why so many young people think that the american dream is dead it's very personal these people it's the personal issues that most mostly are sleeping on or socks there's no jobs yeah

so you can't say i guess but i mean you can't say these eighteen to thirty four year olds are saying well this building get passed through congress that's why they do it again that's my point this was this is the republican strategy sixty five percent of americans don't know which party controls either branches of congress but ninety three percent of american. i know that a democrat is in the white house so the strategy has been damaged the economy everybody will be well down democrats and it's working its work chris brags brought it home she can even though it's not working that is not the republican strategy because you know what republicans want a strong economy and what they want more of the middle in the middle class that we don't want middle class people well there are hundreds of bills that the republicans are going to get insurance at the democratic senate hasn't refused to take up why don't you criticize the senate for refusing to a watering up why i want to see what he has not sat on the going to know cutting cutting taxes on billionaires doesn't create jobs giving easing regulations.

flexible on one regulation tons of regulations name one. i know the republicans want to do away with the consumer finance protection bureau they don't want americans to be able to have an agency that they can go to if they get screwed by their bank we as he now read well they have the answer actually got he asked bureaucrats are responsive let's look at the v.a. if we're going to talk about americans going to a government bureaucracy for help we know that doesn't even happen at the v.a. because it's more josh ritter bureaucrats that's all it does it doesn't help taxpayers at all let's let's let's move on to another new study proves that watching fox so-called news actually makes you stupid the study released by the brookings institution of the public religion research institute found that those americans who most trust fox news are the most likely to not understand how our current immigration system works and the least likely to support any changes in this badly broken system and those who trust other news sources for example the reality is that under the obama administration deportations are at an all time high

more than twice during what it was during the bush administration and have been pretty much since obama came into office but of americans who think who think fox news gives them the most accurate information about politics and news only twelve percent actually know the fact the deportations have increased under the obama administration the study said that trust in fox news is an act as an accurate news source is the most powerful independent predictor of opposition to a path to citizenship so watching fox news literally makes people stupid is this is this part of the republican strategy in that study it only says one small fact that they don't know about the immigration form that the obama administration is the high deporter ministration it isn't history but they're not the problem is the obama administration is not actually serious about enforcing the law they're not why are they kicking all these people out of it because it was done just to appease republicans enough to think that they would vote for their bill but that it was

trying to compromise when it was they said he won't do it saying that like fox news . dumber just because they have different opinions about immigration i didn't say that i said they're dumb or cause they're watching fox news and i get a message from a shit the way you are now we're going to get that they disagreed with you on a path they said no they disagree with actual facts at this only one fact that they point out they don't point out any other facts just saying that they say the fact that you're opposed to amnesty that therefore go back to the anniversary from two years ago there was there was a at least a dozen facts there were fox news is the fox news viewers were more likely not only to be uninformed about the misinformed i mean this is this is well i don't think this is i don't think this is a controversy opposition is saying that maybe fox news might be less uninformed but i want to better study this because they might go back and look at the end of bird study from two years ago but there has to be a larger scale study than just one fact that they got wrong and it's mainly just antagonizing people for not being a fan of amnesty or being a fan of the immigration reform bill coming out of the senate and i don't i have no

idea i'm to watch here at all not one and they do talk about obama's deportation not very so if people don't know that it's not be so you're part of the twelve percent who watch fox news who actually do know what's going on and i learned from good on ok good on you yesterday a fifteen year old student opened fire at a school just outside of portland oregon killing one student just hours after the shooting president obama had some pretty harsh words for lawmakers in washington d.c. take a look. i've been in washington for a while now. and most things don't surprise me. the fact that twenty six year olds. were gunned down in the most violent fashion possible. and this town couldn't do anything about it was stunning to me and a lot of people will say that you know there's a mental health problem you know it's not a gun problem. in the united states and it does not have

a monopoly on crazy people. it it's said that it's not the only country that has. psychosis. and yet. we. kill each other in these. in these mass shootings at rates. that are exponentially higher than anyplace else once and literally exponential if the if the exponent is for the two thousand and twelve murder rate in the us is four point seven murders per hundred thousand people significantly higher than most of the wealthy nations for comparison it's point four percent in japan point eight percent in germany one percent austria australia one point one percent in france and one point two percent britain australia is probably the closest to us in terms of urban versus rural and cowboy culture and all that we have just a minute for this is a time for us to do something about this. but i will say that the things that the

liberals suggested after sandy hook they even admitted it would have done nothing to stop sandy hook so. right it's but it's a first step i mean having well no it's not any way to pass the odds that you claim are still solving a problem that you that admit well to actually do well not that you would have solved that particular problem we just saw actually it might well there you know i talking about the people who are saying that we need to close the gun show loophole you're right that wouldn't stop sandy hook if you talk about the people or say we need to go back to the legislation that ronald reagan supported the prevented the large clips and the assault weapons then you're wrong because if we went with ronald reagan sandy hook wouldn't happen to scott we have ten seconds it's yours well i think the main problem is that people are always going to try there's a lot of disturbed individuals out there who are always going to try to do so we got in line for a want to and there's even a problem in china where they've been there it's very hard to get firearms there and they have a huge phenomenon of mass stabbings and that people just like in america go in elementary school i was one of those and you did everybody things like oh nobody

died ending up in school greer chris allman thanks for joining me tonight thank you coming up a small community in colorado is fighting back against the giant oil and gas industry in the dangerous practice of fracking could lafayette colorado be a model for. the communities across america trying to just say no to big oil. or you like me you want your comedy news and some t. want your comedy news to be a bare fisted no holds barred fight to the dad. but the truth vampire fighting into the next of the corporate elite the billionaire freaks while they're going. well that's what you get with my new show projected in night. chance our forces.
