people believe what they want to believe. >> bergman: it was kahr who came up with the ideas and mehta who implemented them, and their innovations would help change the nature of the credit card business. so, providian wasn't alone. >> absolutely not. they may have started it and maybe were the innovators ofov these bad practices, but they certainly were quickly adopted by everyone else once they started seeing the profit margins. >> bergman: robert mckinley is a credit card analyst who followed the rise of providian. >> i mean, here they were giving away products with no fee and charging interest rates and making a ton of money. and so, "hey, let's do it, too." and so, you know, it's... it quickly spread throughout the... the entire industry. >> bergman: one of the many providian practices that spread was making people believe their credit cards were free by eliminating the then-standard annual fee. >> we made it look like it's a giveaway, and took it back in the form of... i used to use the word "penalty pricing" or "stealth pricing." >> bergman: so, the competition... increase in co

internet hackers notice something interesting the photo taken with an i phone still had all of the mehta data attached including g.p.s. coordinates and those coordinates put mcafee right here in guatemala when he fled billy's altogether well despite misdirection from nasa fi who claimed he purposely posted incorrect mehta data the damage was done mcafee was arrested by guatemalan police last night for entering the country illegally and sent to jail where he continued to blog and today guatemala denied mcafee's request for asylum well shortly thereafter mcafee was hospitalized for convulsions he remains in guatemala in a guatemalan hospital for now and it's hard to make any grand generalizations about this case strange case yet one thing is for sure it is easier than ever to learn detailed information about people and their whereabouts so. you may want to think twice before posting a pic if you're on the run. and we're going to leave it there but breaking the set is coming up in thirty minutes here on r t let's check in with the host abby martin to see what's on today's agenda abbi what's

from from the mehta to the to the real i mean what actually what was the republican party like before fox news was yes and before rush limbaugh you know preeti seven prien ninety one fox news or ninety five years was. the republican ripple before the advent of fox news republicans had to speak the same language as everybody else. you know when we had a common media culture with all of its biases and prejudices and republicans had complaints about how they were treated and the unfairness of media culture and there's a there's it's true but you forced everybody to speak with certain common frames of reference and if you see if you said the incentives for being a wild person i mean there were there were even in the fifty's and sixty's there are livings to be made on the political margin in their book and there's a book called none dare toiletries and you'll remember these rants norma from. everywhere so i swear they would sell millions of copies but if you watch c.b.s. the c.b.s. evening news you would never know that it existed when i was there was the john birch society and that's in f

they need at lower cost now cottle said it just means less money for soldiers and more money for dros mehta told us at turning point never the announcement is just a smokescreen those in power will move to the gold coast and live through their teeth to hold on to their perceived position of global dominance and till their empire collapses just like other empires so for now it's the collapsing economy that is forcing the government to cut four hundred eighty seven billion on military spending in the next decade many say that number could easily be doubled so let's not forget that these cuts simply put us down the amount we were spending in two thousand and eight what sounds a lot more like a haircut than a turning point to me. now is. always we appreciate your responses and here's our next question for you earlier in the show we spoke about rising tensions between china and u.s. following president the president's announcement that we will be focusing our military i on to asia and china did not exactly take the news of open arms so do you think that we're headed into a cold war with china le

the child tax credit and the earned income tax credit keep millions of americans out of poverty ryan mehta talked a good game in ohio today but we all know it's a charade religious leaders across the cross the nation have people it is really slammed for ryan's policies the largest national coalition of religious congregations the fico network said of the ryan budget the mission of the church is to bring good news to the poor and to protect the vulnerable not to justify the impoverishment of the very young the very old and the sick in order to enrich the wealthy. the only thing we can expect paul ryan and mitt romney to do is what they've promised to do on paper and that's give massive tax cuts five trillion dollars or the tax cuts to rich people like themselves and give austerity to the rest of us that will only worsen wealth inequality in the united states and thus make it harder and harder for the poor to move up into the middle class and try out for their shot at the american dream and paul ryan doesn't give a damn about the poor he's just a shill for big business who wants to create an

professors from the harvard graduate school of education who are here today, bob schwartz and jal mehta convened a group of scholars, of educators, of researchers and policy experts to really have a different kind of conversation, to really sort of question some of the basic assumptions and ask are we going in the right direction, are there more promising foundational principles on which we could base educational improvement efforts and education policies. they studied examples from across the u.s., internationally and other areas of social science research to, again, get at this question of what should the future of school reform look like. and they have produced a volume of essays, and if you don't already have it, it's available for sale out front, the future of education reform. and i think the futures of school reform, i think one of the interesting things about the group is that they didn't come to consensus, that wasn't the goal. it was really to help each other hone a set of ideas, a set of proposals that then could be shared to start to get all of us to question our assumptions

why don't i give you my mehta theory of where we are going to go in this election. usually there is a dominant majority, the democrats in the 30ss, republicans in the 80s. in my view we have two minority parties. we have two parties that have a minority of voters, in what they call a moon party, sort of two moon parties. and then the electorate swings volatilely between whatever party they hate least at that moment. so i think we are at a moment of pretty strong volatility in the electorate. and so we enter the race with both parties with a reasonably fervent 43% and a lot of people are disgusted with both so when you enter the race when you look at the polls, obama may be ahead, he may be slightly behind, they may be tied but i think will be more volatile than the last couple presidential elections because of the extreme alienation of the electorate. >> woodruff: do you see that kind of volatility. >> the moon sun. >> woodruff: galaxy. >> i see a star, judy. no, i think it's a lot more like 2000 and 2004 elections which were both close, both fiercely fought, right

he was mehta couple of years ago because the rebach basketball -- rebook and he is about nike they covered show. >> how are you doing? >> good. >> i think the reason, because romney ain't saying anything because the other night on bill -- ed schultz show he had where the uniforms were made back in what? 2000 when he ran it? and i am sure romney had something to do with that. so he is not going to say anything. that's all this guy is for. >> i hear you. i would imagine the united states olympic committee let the outfits be made wherever the manufacturer wanted. i wouldbrity 2000 olympics, the outfits were not made in the united states and romney doesn't want to come across as a hypocrite. he should say what? you know in the past, we haven't cared so much. but now we do care because we see how many job losses have occurred in the united states in the textile industry. from this point forward, yes. they should be made in the united states. it would be easy for him. then he wouldn't be called a hip hypocrite. virginia we will take your call on the other side of this break when this continues a
