that meant the computers in chattanooga, tennessee had kicked in at 11:14 p.m., and suddenly, in countyty that reported, there were just strikes anomalies. in the next ten counties in a row, and this raises a lot of serious questions about who actually won the election. i went about as far as i could in tracing this down, and in terms of pinning it down conclusively, unfortunately, there were still some unanswered questions, and the reason for that is that again and again all the evidence vanished mysteriously, and there was a court order as a result of one. lawsuits to impound all the ballots, but suddenly over a million ballots were damagedded or disappeared. in 2006, the new secretary of state, a democratic secretary of state was lengthed in ohio, -- elected in ohio, and she was about to take office, went by the new offices just before she formally took office, and when she went in, she saw everyone there under the direction of the old secretary of state, the republican blackwell, shredding thousands and thousands of documents. finally, in the civil suit, a man named mike connel, sub

i went to chattanooga i found a company called smart tech. he told me he never heard of it. i find that hard to believe. if you go through the funds and of a corporate changes the original money came from to wealthy republican donors reynolds and the lipper and '80s they bailed out george to be bush several times. he had 38 will company is that went belly up and came to his rescue. also baseball royalties. dewitt imams st. louis cardinals. his father owned the st. louis browns. they gave bush on trade for his ownership of the texas rangers. of the on a lucrative investment year barmaid. he put in 600,000 and came away with 15 million. this company started off as a legitimate company became a republic and operation in. they should have their web sites but this was unusual. i saw george debut bush was there. hundred and hundred of conservative groups were there. but this company over time acquired contracts that probably a should not have gone to the company. let me say to of those. if you are in the white house your e-mail is public documents. they are supposed to be hosted o

right out today the endorsement for president by the chattanooga free press the tennessee newspaper has endorsed libertarian candidate gary johnson for president the editorial board there says that romney is to fly on saying he may be less eager to tax spend and attack personal freedoms and disregard constitutional limits on government than his democratic opponent president obama but only slightly what do you make of this always that someone major newspaper is actually endorsing a third party candidate. who are keeping this election there's more openness for people who you would like you to reconsider just as party like the green party i think there's a lot more interest in what we're seeing if you were there last night you would go through. the voices and. so to me this is proper why should the public you should look at the homes we're going to be some people much more. to work with here it's well it was an interesting debate and as we know there will be one more next week here in d.c. good to have you on the show sharing your thoughts luis rodriguez the vice president presidential nom

you know run through a computer in a basement chattanooga that allowed outside actors to actually manipulate the vote count in ohio this is a fact and the reason i say it was with such assurance is that the contract that my connell signed with secretary of state ken blackwell is is publicly available and in fact it's on my blog news from underground so if people just go to mark crispin miller dot com they can read the contract that you know someone yeah i did and see for themselves that this mirror site was set up and as as computer expert stevens moore has said a republican by the way that there is no other purpose to build such a site than to steal an election or get into the details of what happened in ohio on that night you realize that the exit polls had it right john kerry won that election and let me simply agree with you again that kerry is to blame for rolling over also his campaign actually banked millions of dollars to use in the the event . election was stolen and not only has carried never addressed this publicly and i'm not the only person he told privately he thought it was a

america to foreign nations out today were out today rocky the endorsement for president by the chattanooga that free free press the tennessee newspaper has endorsed libertarian candidate gary johnson for president the editorial board says mitt romney is to flog it saying romney may be less eager to tax and spend and attack personal freedoms and disregard the constitutional limits on government than his democratic opponent president obama but only slightly were you surprised to see one of their third party partners in crime get endorsed by you know a fairly significant newspaper no i'm not surprised at all i am surprised that it was gary johnson frankly because the libertarians are so opposed to government serving its highest purpose and that is to protect the american people in terms of our health safety and welfare gary johnson wants to have the lawyers just go sue everybody rather than have our government protect us against for instance dangerous drugs that kind of drugs that have been killing people because of these injections of steroids recently he say get rid of the f.d.a. and just h

one of them is that he talks of his encampment outside of chattanooga at this point in anticipation of the mark due to march in georgia and he writes about how guys should be working really hard at school and doing well in school because all the kids around here in tennessee they don't know how to read and write and they have to write with an x mark said he shows an example of how and deliver it in tennessee would sign his name because he wasn't able to do so. and then there are examples of more drawings. with the cartographia looked like. this also has interest because he's talking about tennessee and his fundamentalist revolution lincoln university which is established for two reasons. one of them is because there is the need for education and tennessee and the other one is there is a need for the memorial to link in the south and so, howard puts those sentiments together in forming this university and then shows the president in the 1890's. this is an oddball piece because it is signed by jefferson davis whom hubbard theoretically would be shooting against in a few years' time. he i

and i went to chattanooga, tennessee, and i found a company called star trek. i saw karl rove about your vote in ohio, and he told me he had never heard of it. well, i found that hard to believe. if you found out who put up the original money, the original money came from two very wealthy republican donors, mercer reynolds and bill dewitt. and i researched them. they had bailed out george w. bush several times. he had three oil companies in the 80s and each time they came to the rescue. bill dewitt owns the st. louis cardinals and his father had owned the old st. louis crowns. and they gave bush ownership in the texas rangers, which is one of the only lucrative investments that he ever made. his company, smart tech, soon became a republican operation. it is all good and well, conservative groups who have had their websites and so forth. but this was very unusual. and i saw george w. bush 43 was there. the republican national committee hosted its website. hundreds and hundreds of conservative groups were there. again, that is all fine and well. but this company,

in chattanooga in november 1863, grant watched sheridan and his division storm missionary ridge and then pursue the confederates for hours when no one else did. grant knew then that sheridan was much like him. someone who would act properly, who would fight always, and who would never quit. of the hundreds of generals that served on both sides of the civil war, that description fit just a handful. grant brought sheridan east with him when president abraham lincoln pointed grant general in chief of all union forces. sheridan's first command was the cavalry corps of the army of the potomac during grant's overlapped campaign. the union cavalry had improved a lot since the beginning of the war, but it was still being used primarily for scouting, guarding wagon trains, and patrolling picketlines. sheridan was determined to change that. with grant's blessing, he forged the cavalry corps into an independent strike force. in may 1864, sheridan's troopers overwhelmed jeb stewart's fabled rebel cavalry. stewart was wounded in the battle and died the next day. he was another hard blow to the confed

one of them is that he talks -- he's in an encampment outside of chattanooga at this point in anticipation of the march to georgia writing about how guy should be working really hard at school, doing well at school because all the kids around here, that is in southern tennessee, they don't know how to write. they have to write with an x mark, and he shows an example of how an illiterate in tennessee would be signing his name, just with an x and having somebody else write the name because he was unable to do so. there's examples of more drawings, what the topography looked like, what he tent looked like, and the reason that this also has some interest is that he's talking about the illiterates of tennessee, and later in his career, in the 1890 #s, he's fundamental in establishing lincoln memorial university established for two reasons. one because there's a need for education in tepees, and the other is there's a need for a memorial to lincoln in the south. he put those sentiments together and served as president in 1890s. this an odd ball piece because it's signed by jefferson davis, whom

was a volkswagen that can to chattanooga. it got more than $100 billion of incentives from the city and the state. it was a wonderful day for chattanooga. everybody was excited. 2000 workers. everyone started at $18 an hour. >> part of what is frustrating for me is in many ways we have challenges ahead of us and we should talk about how to build on something that has been successful, and instead we are litigating whether it has been a success. to go back to my parents in southern virginia, we lost furniture making, textiles, and tobacco stfarming, and it has been difficult to recover. we get a plant that, it is one- tenth of the number of workers than before. we continue to have this great challenge one forward, of how we are going to have the competitiveness strategy's. since you have been the target of this, rather than saying how can we build on the successes of month after month of manufacturing and job growth for the first time in a long time, there are questions about whether we should have done it in the first place. o

chattanooga 2 1/2. atlanta almost 2. almost 3 inches in atlanta.ers in miami, right along the, you know, tropical kind of rain showers. atlanta, the rain has moved off to the east. the carolinas seeing some rainfall right now. this is kind of spotty showers. d.c. to new york we're going to get into the warm sector of this storm so it will begin to feel kind of muggy and showery at times. the main prep for seeing isolated thunderstorms that could bring tornados pittsburgh back through cincinnati today. midsection of the country looking pretty good, including denver. 80 degrees expected the next couple of days. including wednesday. but then maybe some rain mixed with snow the night of the debate. as this front drops down to the south. today it's going to bring gusts 30 to 40 miles an hour. and that could spark some fire danger. temperatures in so cal will be well into the 90s. sacramento may even hit 100 degrees today. so they are still sizzling. 70 expected in chicago. >> you said rain mixed with snow? >> that's the way it -- it's denver. mile high.

it does stretch up into chattanooga and atlanta throughout the afternoon today.ill be rain free but the rains will stretch towards you tomorrow, and then behind this system is some cooler air. i think the main weather headline here going forward is it is october 1st, and it will certainly start to feel like fall across a good chunk of the u.s. here over the next two weeks. temperatures expected to be below average. enjoy your 69 degrees in chicago, 72 degrees dry day in new york. the rain from the southeast will be rolling up toward the northeast. so cal 98. >> go west, folks, go west. >> exactly. >> thank you, rob. >> you got it. >>> all right it is 17 minutes after the hour right now. coming up, china's manufacturing industry is slumping. that's right. we said it. our own christine romans has the details coming up next. ally bank. why they're always there to talk. i love you, james. don't you love me? i'm a robot. i know. i know you're a robot! but there's more in you than just circuits and wires! uhhh.

and i went to chattanooga, tennessee, and i found a company called smart tech.i saw it grows about a year ago in ohio, and asked about this company. he told me he had never heard of it. well, i find that hard to believe. this is a company that is a rather byzantine corporate history, but if you go through all the funds -- france within france and corporate changes and find that to put up the original money, the original money came from two very wealthy republican donors into mercer reynolds and bill dewitt. and i researched them, and in the 80's they had bailed out george w. bush several times. he had three oil companies in the 80's that went belly up, and each time they came to is rescue. they were also baseball royalty. bill to which owns the st. louis cardinals and his father had owned the old st. louis browns. and they gave bush entree into is ownership in the texas rangers which is the one, the only lucrative investment he ever made. i mean, he put in $600,000 came away with about 15 million. and this company, smart tech, which started out as quite a legiti

chattanooga, not the city on because you would expect on the left bank or otherwise. they decided to make the investment in building out broadband to every building in the city. piercing the economic benefits. it is not just the city government. it was their other vehicles. they read things mark -- a were being smart. ts are hard.he dock we're trying to break down the silo which tends to be the frame for which they think about it rather than looking across all of the boundaries to say what is it that is going to force collaboration and open the system to open engagement. some of the leaders have really done things that are pretty smart of things that harness not just the wireless networks but harnessing the public engagements. >> i wanted you to focus on this, giving presentation. we're talking about networks. cities do not particularly function at networks in part because government tends to be very compartmentalized. buildings are getting wired. do you see at the u.s. at the city scale as the aspects of technological innovation? are there some real opportunities giv

caller: right next to chattanooga. i have two points. it's about credibility and the press. people calling in saying they are former military and sky news says he was retired military. people, if they would say their unit. i think a lot of people are actually just making up who they are to get some kind of credibility. a woman calling to say her nephew was in the military. i would like to know what was their rank. that would be more credible. second, i would like to see c- span talking about the credibility of the rest of the press. somebody, a woman they call mad cow, who turned off in a minute. they are so biased. they turn people off completely. the average person cannot watch that. and it takes programs like this and makes them less credible. host: i'm sorry you feel that way. let's go to christopher in florida on the democratic line. caller: yes, i have a question. i was wondering if congress does not pass over the fiscal cliff, who gets in charge of the government? will the president in charge of the government since congress does not get the fiscal cliff? host: wh pow

host: one more call from chattanooga, tennessee. mark on our independent line.ler: how did they come up with the number 7.8% when it was 8.1%? in reality, it is probably 15%. they never provide that sort figures and they never describe what jobs were created. did they create 1000 jobs at mcdonald's and 10,000 jobs at home depot? they never disclosed that. i question their figures. i wonder if the government -- if the president can create any kind of job other than a job that point guns at people or other jobs where they send out agents to people who are collecting rainwater on their land. guest: he mentioned that the government never really release the facts on the numbers on how they reached the jobless rate. if you go to the bureau of labor statistics website, you will see all of the figures there. you will probably see more numbers then you would ever want to read on a nice saturday morning like this. if you go to the web site, the numbers are actually there. it is complicated how the 7.8% unemployment rate is reached. it is hard to believe how the number wou

so chattanooga, you know, not the city on the that you would expect on the left bank or otherwise. but they have decided to make the investment in the building out broadband to every building in the city, and they're now seeing the economic benefits of that. it was an investment, it was not just the city government out of city budget, it was through other vehicles, so they were smart about the investment strategy. but one of the things we've discovered is that, you know, connecting the dots is hard. it's not something that government workers are accustomed to doing. so this is one reason why things get siloed very quickly. you may be seeing that in detroit. so getting people to break down the silo that tends to be the frame by which they think about their spend rather than looking across all of the boundaries in the organization chart to say what is it that's going to tie together and force collaboration, open the system to public engagement, maybe even crowd source solutions so some of the leaders like san francisco have really done things that are pretty smart about building the
