8:00 pm
a pleasure to have you with us here today i'm sure. new evidence has come out that cameron todd willingham is innocent this sounds like great news for willingham it's just hard to tell him about it because he was executed in two thousand and four by the state of texas prosecutors accused willingham of setting fire to his house killing his three daughters the testimony from the arson experts in the trial has since been ripped apart and the prosecution's may witness johnnie webb who spent time in jail with willingham now says he was told to live by the prosecution webb was promised help getting out of jail if he said willingham confessed to him an innocent man was executed so why do so many americans defend this barbaric stone age system of punishment what do we. i
8:01 pm
mean yes we are but can we try not to be for like a second people give a few reasons for the death penalty they say it deters murderers from murdering and that's true in that it's not true at all no never all the studies show it's true which makes sense because when you strangling someone you're not generally contemplating the state laws you know it could see did i cross the border into virginia while i was driving up shut up fit of rage last night no it doesn't make any sense secularly people say i don't want my tax dollars to go to keep a murderer alive but it actually costs more to execute someone then to keep them alive imprisoned because of the cost of court the court process and mandatory appeals but even if it were cheaper you're going to murder someone because of the seven cents taken out of your taxes what the hell kind of haggling is that ok so it's not cool seven cents for a murderer to keep him alive not cool what about five cents and it's all right but
8:02 pm
you go with that no no how about three cents three cents it's a jaywalker and you get to talk to bob how about that. then people say what if it were your family member who were murdered then you change your mind what do you mean my family member was murdered by an evil killer or my family member was murdered because they. innocent on death row let's just be clear then people always come down to the final reason it feels right at the end of the day seeing some horrible disgusting person executed feels good ok but wouldn't it also feel good to see the ass clown bankers who caused the two thousand and eight collapse locked in a cell and beaten with stacks of their own money that. feel pretty good that they were feel good and want and want to feel good to see the real housewives of. have their mouths spackled shot that they feel pretty good and want to feel good to see cheney or rumsfeld or the head of b.p. drop in a vat of oil covered in bread crumbs and packed furiously by exotic danger birds finally avenging their loss of appetite at yeah yeah. but we as
8:03 pm
a civilized society have decided we can't do those things even though they might feel good so we're opposed to all of that why are we not opposed to a racist faulty death penalty yeah don't even get to the races part studies have shown that the number one determinant of whether a defendant gets the death penalty is race of the victim of the victim this means we view murdering white people as worse than murdering black people so you could beat will smith or kerry washington to death with a tennis shoe and it's only a minor problem but if you touch a hair on screeches head. we will you up. we already have a horrible punishment for people who murder it's life in prison and life in prison is terrible but the difference is that when you find out the person didn't commit the crime but the four percent of innocent people on death row you still have a chance to go back and go my bad but for those of you supporting this antiquated
8:04 pm
flawed and racist system my hat is off to you nothing takes more balls than sticking to a point of view no matter how fully it's been proven wrong just as the people who say the invisible hand of the free market will fix everything instead of curling its fingers into. the fist and shoving it way up are coming to you from washington d.c. the belly the base is a redacted a nice. welcome your advantage to. my audience if you laugh well the night you will get a free car boa drain to drink i'm not lying all right let's take the news from behind there's a new children's book on the market little something for the kiddies called why my parents open carry this is a real this is
8:05 pm
a real book you can find in the section of your local bookstore entitled my child's not crying enough that it's important to children around six years of age learn why their parents haven't gone on their hip but honestly you don't normally need a whole book to explain that normally the conversation goes why does mom have a gun because grandpa. but let's look at this book cover for a second the father he's clearly objective late a pedophile mailman right dad's that subject is either that or he's a woman with a fake mustache and i have absolutely no problem with women wearing fake mustaches i think that makes this book a far more interesting story that should have been titled i have two mommies one with facial hair both with a lot of firearms on their belts at all times even when drunk. the daughter is clearly older than the mother which again raises always to new questions that are not resolved in the book the daughter is also with without a doubt
8:06 pm
a wearing living room drapes are right her sort is made from the curtains and her hair is styled to hide drugs all right all together whether this family is breaking open carry laws is like the least of their worries but even if we were to suspend disbelief. the authors of this book don't seem to consider that some parents aren't crazy ok they're not all good some berenger using their gun to take out dr doom a lot a lot of people are drunks and physically abusive to their kids and now you want them to have guns on their hips the back of the book says have fun with brenda and her family as they turn an otherwise ordinary day into an open carry adventure. if you decide to open carry your gun the last thing you're looking for is an open carry adventure and open carry adventure means something is going to horribly wrong an open carry adventure generally ends in dad going to federal prison for shooting a store clerk while yelling how was i supposed to know that was a price gun. don't forget to grab the sequels to this book my parents like it when
8:07 pm
i visit them in jail. and also my parents spent the family savings on guns so i wear a shirt made from our drapes. here so why are some of the other other books we thought would be useful to explain the tough realities of the world to small children in a fun and accessible way my parents are open to harry. who knows what's going on there there's also my parents do meth only on weekends and strictly for business and finally there's i have three testicles two daddies and a gun. that one's my fav if you buy all five of these you're raising a serial murderer who does not deserve the death penalty because it's a flawed racist system. now to the central intelligence agency which is trying to save face ahead of the release of the senate intelligence committee's torture report a report that allegedly makes the cia look even worse than the n.s.a.
8:08 pm
which means they now rank just above vlad the impaler head of the report's report released the cia has spied on senate staffers and worked with the white house to heavily redacted most of the incriminating stuff about the agency's activities torturing. some folks but the cia isn't they all a federal agency going rogue way go now to sam sachs on the redacted front lines. this week we learned that the cia is running a secret program in cuba to topple the castro government. oh it's not the cia. it's the u.s. agency for international development that's doing that in cuba. yes this time it was u.s. aid the got into the business of regime change according to the associated press the agency sent nearly a dozen young latin americans on
8:09 pm
a risky mission to cuba as part of a secret democracy promotion program usaid work with a contracting firm known as creative associates which you may remember was behind a nother usaid cuba fiasco the zunes in a a program which created a fake social media alledge similar to twitter to also stir unrest in cuba. you can stay tune for creative associates next project in the summer teaching kids in cuba to read. friedman the zooms in a revelation prompted senator patrick leahy to grill usaid administrator dr rajiv shah at a recent hearing the legislation doesn't say anything about setting up a cock i mean the idea in cuba twitter accounts and all now this latest usa program was even more cockamamie recruiting young cubans stan type government activism theory number of fake civic programs including an h i.v. prevention workshop a ploy that could discredit the rest of us aid humanitarian missions all around the world. in two thousand and thirteen bolivian president evo morales kicked usaid out
8:10 pm
of his country claiming that the agency acted like a wing of the cia you may remember in a two thousand and nine speech in egypt president obama touted this new u.s. humanitarian mission today i'm announcing a new global effort with the organization of the islamic conference to eradicate polio well that mission ended quickly since the cia decided to use a fake vaccination program in pakistan to collect the d.n.a. of osama bin laden's family since then actual vaccination workers have been suspected of working with the cia and polio is making a comeback so u.s. aid must of thought let's try it ourselves documents show that the bogus h.i.b. workshop was seen as the perfect excuse to draft political activists and it was also the perfect excuse to get arrested by cuban authorities like usaid contractor alan gross who was arrested in two thousand and nine while on
8:11 pm
a similar democracy promotion mission in cuba nevertheless the program continued u.s. aid sent contractors indicate to start a revolution paying them five dollars in forty one cents an hour and giving them this god. a god that would have been helpful to the conservative news outlets. the daily caller when he ran with a sleigh story about u.s. senator bob menendez frequenting underage prostitutes a story that was planted by cuban intelligence. but back to usaid which actually has a history of acting kind of shady. such as trying to buy palestinian elections in two thousand and six funding a coup in haiti in one thousand nine hundred one and running a torturing in europe why in the one nine hundred seventy s. the senate foreign relations committee is now investigating usaid so-called democracy promotion programs in the meantime perhaps agency should stick to what it
8:12 pm
knows best humanitarian health and education programs stuff that i can work with the cuban government on if we consider. working with the cuban government and child survival programs so i mean it can be done openly. my understanding of the. amendment is that we would not be precluded from engaging in those kinds of nope can't do that not allowed to work with the cuban government subvert the cuban government ok go for it do it all you want but work with the cuban government to help sick kids. then you're going to jail. welcome us foreign policy in the twenty first century. you know we really haven't gotten over this whole cuba thing right it's been like what fifty five years we got over world war two quicker than. i mean i got over the
8:13 pm
last series finale quicker than that. last week. mostly i mean i slept a lot of reporting from washington d.c. sam stocks were ducted tonight. seriously they never explain the polar bears and the whole church scene at the end i was i don't there were things about them sad sad sad. our show today is fonts are by our nation's corrections industry here's an important word from. you hate black people maybe don't hate them but just don't want them in your face or your neighborhood or your grocery store. these days employment housing discrimination are illegal what if i told you there was something easy you could do to keep the black community down right now you're probably thinking this guy is full of it. but no i'm not all you have to do is support breivik prison. or checked always a private prison companies which make sure to keep people black people locked up yes violent crime rates have plunged the last few decades so we had to find other
8:14 pm
reasons to put people black people behind bars we did so by acting like illegal drug use is worse than prescription drug use or beating your wife or laundering millions of dollars in drug cartel h.s.b.c. and looking in your direction drug use among flex was brought to the same blacks are convicted four times more often when a black person is convicted of the same crime as a white person there was the sentences that are twenty percent longer can you imagine remaining in prison an extra year just because of the extra pigment in your skin it's a beautiful thing to support our prison industrial complex you can even investigate on wall street where our stocks are doing great i mean talk about a win win situation you make money by investing in us and there are fewer people to take the good parking spots black people the prison industrial complex giving america's backdoor class system in place for generations.
8:15 pm
i marinate joining me. for kinda impartial and financial reporting commentary can from news and much much. only on bombast and on. 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 our t.v. question lol. your
8:16 pm
friend post a photo from a vacation you can't. call it different. the boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still pens tear jerking poetry keep count nora's. we post only what we not i don't t. to your face but you speak. well. one of them are back we are back i grab. the genic sandwich glass to he can i ask him to say and fox news did something amazing something tremendous something groundbreaking interrupted their coverage of the crisis in gaza for this. debuts on tonight full disclosure at n.b.c.
8:17 pm
universal property but let's be real would be covering this anyway let's start the numbers on this one point four million people watched the first airing of sharknado one fourteen million car repairs so kind of picked up pace after that an important media. important media event but let me rephrase what i said earlier m s n b c interrupted their gaza coverage fox news interrupted their five part report are immigrants ruining christmas. shark native shark medo two is a made for t.v. movie it is not the shark delegation that gets together to watch to decide which countries have to have too many carefree surfers know that's shark nato. this is instead a movie thank you that was a bad pun but thank you. this is instead a movie that is meant mainly for twenty five year old men who wear footy pajamas while grocery shopping and stuck a crayon too far up their respective noses when they were seven what we're seeing here is something much worse than just an intentionally bad movie this is the
8:18 pm
infantilization of all of america combined with the ass wiping of what remained of mainstream media real news stations interrupting coverage of death in gaza to cover shark nato acting like it's a story that deserves more than a spit take and someone going serious like that something and look i don't mind if people use weird stuff to unwind if a nuclear specific comes home from work and for an hour every evening i don't give a turd all right i myself used completely vapid stupid crap to unwind i read greg gutfeld books i know what the mass replacement of new news with nonsense meant for children is of a much greater concern for example if my fun time activity were considered new this then we'd have a much more serious problem. this is worse than i thought look we're
8:19 pm
a comedy show here and on this episode alone we're covering the x. execution of an innocent man environmental destruction a racist criminal justice system and more meanwhile the actual news shows are covering child nato town. the irony is that the media is not using their time to cover real climate change and sanity that makes the day after tomorrow look like the day before yesterday i mean you know you want proof you want proof fire tornadoes a real thing little to no coverage also due to climate change polar bears are moving south and mating with grizzly bears creating wait for it grohl or banners another real thing almost no coverage wait until the grower bear fire nato movie comes at and then people will be talking and then there will be congress dammit a new report says that fewer than one half of one percent of companies violating environmental laws are ever prosecuted there are apparently sixty four thousand facilities violating our environmental laws and the e.p.a.
8:20 pm
prosecute all most nine sixty four thousand isn't that like all of them i mean how many how many facilities are there we track down the one company not regular law that says guy. well what does he know he farts gumdrops i have a one percent do you know how lazy you have to be to only do one half of one percent of your job if you were a house builder that would mean you built a mailbox all right if you were a hooker that would mean you blew someone a kid this was i spend a half my day just i spend half my day just requesting cabs to various locations around the city then canceling them just like and watch the little icon of the car drive around like a moron i don't know it's going on and even saw no i still do twenty five percent of my job. so corporations can just go around killing people with chemicals but if you were me accidently be to god with a baseball bat because he was dressed like
8:21 pm
a tee ball stand now i'm in. the ramp destruction of our environment and these is happening right now in these companies are rewarded for doing this it's good for business to take the easiest path of profits and the easiest path is not the environmental path as individuals we can't just if we can act like this you can pour chemicals that kill your neighbors grass you can't smoke me or other people because they might you know might harm their longs but you can pump a billion times that much smoke into the air with your factory which is why i've recently declared myself a factory leak camp corp can smoke as much as a once in front of children that's right and pope's. doesn't give a. moving on as you have probably heard net neutrality is under attack by service providers like garages in eighteen t.n. comcast the second round of open internet comments has just begun but we still
8:22 pm
don't know if the f.c.c. is going to step up to the plane actually protect our internet freedom here to let us know where things stand right now is senior internet user john f. o. dod. i'm freaking out. and we all should be if the f.c.c. doesn't make strong rules or protect internet freedom we're totally screwed right explain a little bit well the telecoms will be able to create a fast lane service for rich people and slowly in service for the rest of us it's going to be like information apartheid if you're into analogies that don't necessarily make sense that are kind of insensitive. you know that i am you know that i am listen verizon sued the f.c.c. over regulations the courts rule in favor of horizon so now carriers can charge users different prices for different speeds and the internet's a public service you know fair access to what should be a human right to preach on sister. the f c c's received over one point one million comments from the public the most is the janet jackson super bowl nipple fiasco two thousand for. another get this country frothing at the mouth like
