you have an army of bloggers whom you do not pay. do we worry about credible, careful, checked information becoming yet another endangered species in this revolution? >> i think it's -- not at all. i'm very sad about "the times picayune" paper. i think it's an amazing paper, and as david carr wrote in the "new york times" today, part of the culture of the city, you know, sitting around, reading your paper, so that -- that's sad. great journalism can be practiced anywhere. we now have 500 reporters, editors, journalists that we pay full-time salaries, and we are a platform. you see, i think this is what we need to understand. we are two things, and i think more and more media operations are going to be two things, a journalistic enterprise that honors the best traditions of journalism and the platform that provides distribution to tens of thousands of people who otherwise who would not have had a voice. they can write or not write. they can take advantage of it or not take advantage of it. but many of them take advantage because it he

a right wing blogger heckling the president in the rose garden. >> it is the right thing to do. excuse me, sir. it's not time for questions, sir. and the next time i prefer you let me finish my statements before you ask that question. is this is the right thing to do for the american people i didn't ask for an argument. i'm answering your question. >> this outrageous behavior has to stop. and it has to stop now. >>> plus willard's billionaire boys club. what the wealthy donors backing his campaign really want. >>> and an award winning actor from the hit series "breaking bad" becomes the latest victim of the so-called stop and frisk policy. it's the new racial profiling, and it's spreading across the country unless we do something about it. you're watching "politicsnation" on msnbc. it's very important to understand

. >>> she was one of the most prominent atheist bloggers on the internet.ow she has shocked some of her readers by converting to catholicism. we'll hear why in her own words. >>> leah was one of the most prominent atheist bloggers on the internet. it was a surprise to many of her readers when she announced she was converting to catholicism. i spoke with her about her conversion and personal journey. >> one thing that kind of happened is i thought it was a lot more plausible but not necessarily true, in the same way i'm a big harry potter nerd and i can see how the whole world works and think about the dynamics of that world without thinking it's true. that's kind of how i came to see christianity, a really well thought out interesting system that a lot of smart people had worked on but i didn't think it was actually a true system. >> so before you came to that conclusion, would you have considered yourself an atheist? >> yes. and i considered my atheist while i thought it was coherent but false also. >> and then what was the turning point for you? what happ

. >> reporter: but pentagon police say they are well aware about the florida bloggers video that reports show him easily fooling similar scanners at two different airports. >> we're not just relying on this instrument soully. but we're looking at the number of different approaches they would like the transportation secretary to put us all in. >> reporter: the scanners only take images front and back. >> they are drawn with great colors placed on the backside. >> reporter: any threats are black too. so the 27-year-old jonathan corbitt sewed a pocket on his side. >> the heavy metal carrying case. >> reporter: and was able to slip right through security. >> and i exit with the object without any complaints from the tsa. >> reporter: we wanted to see if we could replicate what the blogger found. so i took some keys, put them in the sun glass case, zipped it up, putting it right at the side of my body and then walked through. >> feet inside the blue square please. >> reporter: the pentagon scanner had no trouble picking up mine. >> there was a sun glass case clipped on the side of the individ

despite issues about being followed by law enforcement, the break their windows militia blogger guy told the washington post that he had not been questioned by any law enforcement agencies after the rash of democratic attacks -- attacks on democratic offices he called for. he called for them, he claimed credit for them. after it was done, he continued to threaten more. >> there are rifles being cleaned right now. do you understand it? >> cleaned? >> taken out of the closet and cleaned. >> being the break their windows, cleaning our rifles, incitement to violence guy from the health reform fight, did bring this blogger guy some measure of fame on the fringe. he kept threatening civil war and armed sedition on right wing talk radio. he was booked as a speaker in an openly carry your fire arms rally that was timed to coincide with the anniversary of the oklahoma city bombing, classy timing. since that time, the break your windows guy, has moved on to a new thing. he has moved on to promulgating a new conspiracy theory about president obama taking away your guns. so it has come to pass that

this is simplistic and then choose to be naive i have studied what happened then we have in fact bloggers and cyber dissidents we were tree and we've been in the west to push towards. we're coming from western countries to change dictatorships or to change at least what was happening within the regimes so that's clear now to see that everything was under control everything is coming from the west i think is going too far we also have to take the political side of the story but the economy side of the story for the americans as well as for the european countries they needed a change in the regime in order to keep the markets why we have new actors in the market and many five actors that directly monopoly of this relationship between the middle east and north african countries and the west china india russia south africa and latin american countries. so it's complex and we need to get celeste naive understanding i'm not saying that that's a big conspiracy i'm saying now it's now the time we can see if the people in the streets are evil to go towards true democracy processes by refusing to b

the republican criticism -- they first said these amnesty, and these bloggers and right-wingers who so rudely interrupted the presidenter making this argument, but in reality marco rubio has proposed something similar to this. they've also said the president has not right to do this without congressional authorization. but presidents have done similar things. so there's enormous amount of press for this, and a lot of republican presidents have done this in the past. it shows you how bankrupt the right-wing is in terms of their criticism of this. >> i want your reaction. you were watching it live. was it unprecedented to you? >> i've been following politics since i was a kid. i have never seen a such a braising amount of disrespect. it's a mesh you have of contempt that the right holds with this particular president. "the daily caller" is a vaughned right-wing blog, basically, but also the fact that i went on twitter afterwards, and a lot of the people on the right were egging them on, that's how a real journalist is supposed to behave. there isn't a sense of respect as long as barack o

thank you for joining us here at the bloggers briefing, if it's your first time, welcome, thank you for tuning in today, for those of you who are new, basically we will have three speakers, we are going to give them a few -- an opportunity to make some remarks and then we will have them take your questions, we are excited to have all three of them join us today, we will begin with artur davis, he represented the seventh congressional district in alabama for eight years as a democrat, and held leadership positions within the party and was one of the first members of congress to endorse barack obama in 2008. today, he has a different perspective on things as a result of some of the policies that were pursued in the after math of obama's election and he will share his thoughts on those issues as well as other things that may be on your mind. join me in welcoming artur davis. >> thank you, todd, thank you ladies and gentlemen, thank you. rob, after the introduction, some of you are probably wondering why the heck i'm here. i'll tell you a little bit more about that. let me begin by thanking

the latest on these developments the relevance of the hour we'll go to cairo based journalist and blogger while iskander well thanks for taking the time to be with us let's suppose the high court rules again shafiq running for office what's next for the country if this happens. i beg your pardon the question once again let's suppose the high court rules again shift freak running for office in a couple of hours time when it makes its ruling what's next for the country if that happens though if you can hear me we didn't do it proper sound check with you go live there so clearly you know. if the constitutional courts for if the constitutional court rules for sure feeling for office there what would happen then. yeah the country would be destabilized and i think that would be reflect the plan of the military to actually go ahead and militarize the country and crack crack down on the you know the revolution that once has happened or what they don't consider is a revolution the uprising and things would be it would reproduce the mubarak regime once again because the military would do everything

french and turkish soldiers and possibly americans well let's discuss that prospect with mideast blogger calls for roe joining us live from london i think your civil service source is being quoted as saying the u.k. is preparing for the move admitting that it would be an invasion of syria what do you make of this. well i think to reflect on this we have to examine this attitude towards the prospects of foreign intervention in syria by western powers where there's been constant denial about you know that possibility of intervention but always waving sort of the specter of dying that the situation might change and we might get involved and i think this is the heart of the problem is western powers do not have a plan for syria do not have a likely outcome that they want that they would want to encourage and they don't even have an idea about how to progress towards a political resolution so this conflict think actually through it is sort of relying now on projecting mixed messages that could the importance of signals like this we've seen today is their situation could flip their position co

a 911 call is bogus, designed to harass a conservative blogger. we'll take a look at the shocking crime known as swatting. plus, right as theet high school graduates toss their caps in the air, a frightening storm moves in. you'll see why they scramble for cover. i'm wolf blitzer, you're in "the situation room kwoem. >>> president obama took a few questions in the white house briefing room today but in rushing to get out front of the jobs issue, the president stumbled and republicans are already reaping the benefits. let's go straight to jessica yellen standing by with the details. >>> president obama hammered congress, telling them to pass his long stalled jobs bill as a way to cushion the u.s. from the effects of europe's worsening economy. but that's 23409 the part of his remarks that's making news. the president trying to regain control of his mess amg. >> if congress decides despite all that that they aren't going to do anything about this simply because it's an election year, then they should explain to the american people why. >> after disa

cay and stop harassing journalists and bloggers. lastly, mr. president, saudi arabia, our ally on many, many important issues but also a friend with whom we have vast differences when it comes to basic freedoms and women's rights. ret me tell a recent -- let me tell a recent story that is truly hard to believe. since early 2012, the saudi government has imprisoned 23-year-old blogger hamza kashgari. his crime? he tweeted an imaginary conversation with the prophet mohammed. that action sparked a spate of death threats, caus causing himo remove the tweet and flee to new zealand in fear of his light. while stopping in malaysia for a plane transfer, malaysian authorities detained him until their saudi counterparts swooped in and returned him to saudi arabia under arrest. back in the kingdom facing accusations of blasphemy and caused for his execution by top claire ricks, he -- clerics, he repented before the saudi court, and showed great remorse asking for forgiveness. that was four months ago, yet he remains imprisoned, awaiting his fate, with no

bush administration starting it and the obama administration continuing it, to this militia blogger guy, to the break their windows, break them now guy, this got reimagined as a conspiracy to eliminate the second amendment. to take away your guns by selling them to people on the border. if it doesn't sound like it makes sense, it's because it doesn't make sense. to the fevered mind of a full time conspiracy theorist who sees himself oz part of an armed movement, that's what he made up, and boy, has he gone places with it. this is the way he would explain it on his blog, the gun walking program. obama's gun walker was a deliberate conspiracy verses the second amendment. the gun confiscationists had danced in the blood of every mass shooting and gotten nowhere to their chagrin and frustration. what was needed was a game changer, something that fit the meaning of we have to tighten up on gun owners, gun stores, and gun shows because they're feeding the slaughter. mexico was perfect, if there weren't enough semiautomatic assault rifles in mexico, they could fix that. >> this is crazy, right

it first we're going have a panel with baird today thurston author of the book how to be black and blogger and comedian james also interview slate's matthew yglesias that will also a panel about the occupy movement working with progress is within the system and that's going to include the founder of occupier homes dot org browner hamlin an organizer who helped launch occupy minneapolis nick espinosa and will have a discussion with colin much later the co-founder and c.e.o. of allowed south weld sauce about the future of technology the good and the bad include it but really the reason that i'm telling you guys about this because we want this show to be as interactive as possible we want you guys to tell us what you want us to talk about so tell us on twitter tell us on facebook producer jenny churchill and i are going to be tweeting the whole time that we're there using the hash tag t.a.'s and twelve so follow us on twitter to find out what we're up to and use that hash tag as well when you want to see something will be there from thursday until saturday so please get involved help us make

do anything to halt their use to explore the issue and more i'm joined by marcy wheeler author and blogger for m.t.v. real dot net hey marcy thanks for joining me i wanted to play a clip really quickly of what rand had to say about this legislation. and the drone is a very very powerful way of snooping on behavior and i don't want them monitoring every every bit of my behavior and i'm not joking about the recyclables i mean we've had different states in cities trying to punish people criminally for not separating out the recyclables we don't want to nanny state that watches every minute of our day it's not that they'll be no drones it's that drones will only be used when a judge says that it's proper so not only when a judge says that it's proper to use marci but he also put up some pretty interesting exceptions for drone use if we can show that really quickly on the screen he says the exceptions are patrolling the borders when law enforcement deems them necessary or a high terror alert or no evidence obtained could be used as evidence in a criminal civil action what do you think about thi

essential for security so are these machines just a form of security theater there i spoke to the blogger who exposed it all jonathan corbett president of for ten technologies here's his take. be good to be back with you the most recent video has checkpoint footage security cameras at the airport actually used that i got by freedom of information act request in cleveland ohio and i went through quite a process to get that because the t.s.a. is actually telling any airport that i request footage from that they're not allowed to disclose the footage for security reasons this despite the fact that the t.s.a. frequently releases videos of security checkpoints for example when they recently detained us senator rand paul they released that when they arrested the woman for telling them that they couldn't grow for daughter they released that but any time i requested security sensitive but eventually cleared them back down i got the video that can pretty clearly show me take a metal object that that's in the side pocket straight through the new body scanners and be allowed on my way and what's the

endorsement from it next to talk about the endorsement and warm i was joined by jack horner the szell blogger for ron paul two thousand and twelve. jack what do you think about the endorsement. well it caught a lot of people by surprise i don't think it necessarily should you know senator paul has been saying for months now that whoever the eventual nominee is that he would endorse him i would like to know that he did choose to do this not until his father's conceded pretty much that he was going to be the nominee in a letter to his supporters so this isn't really anything new you mentioned in your news cast you know differences between father and son rand paul if you look at his voting record is every bit his father son in his philosophy is principles of his belief but i think that they both have sort of different styles of methodology if you will and reaching out to the larger party i think that's where they differ i think this indorsement has a lot to do with it. a different style i mean what catering to the establishment that shut them out for so long what or how they relate to the larger

for an update i was joined earlier from someone who's been at the trial all morning kevin stall a blogger on the dissenter at firedoglake dot com take a listen. to some of what happened i would say that today the big issue was all about whether the defense is going to get the evidence that they need to represent bradley manning and the government today was actually exposed and i sort of suspected since i've been covering this you know going back to december that there was a sort of game being played a bubble what was really clear today is that the government has been misrepresenting intentionally the sort of evidence that it has in its possession that it knows agencies possess which they do not want to turn over to the defense. why are they saying that they're withholding the documents they cite along a long list and they seem to make these up as they get challenged but they have to do with the law they cite legal reasons and all name military justice rules they talk about the fact that the defense hasn't been specific enough and they make up how they haven't used certain terms that you w

if we're so hell bent on states' rights in the autonomy of the states then why and why does that blogger then that two thirds of walker's campaign funding came from outside of the state know what it seemed to to be was that was obviously scott walker implemented a bunch of collective bargaining reforms and the truth of that are on those as they're not as huge as the mainstream. media has made them out to be but as you know the answer to my question you know why is it ok ok you and. asked me and you decided to make this their stink and so they pushed out all their supporters they made they made this into a national election and in response to that obviously a lot of money flowed in to wisconsin because a lot of conservatives came with that as a conservative that even though you think that every state should be autonomous have its own elections that anyone else from outside the state can pour money into the tensile if we if we see that as a problem then we would say wisconsin needs to reform their campaign finance laws wisconsin are not telling me what's going on or are not though yes or n
