tax revenue which may not sound so bad to you but you're not a pharmaceutical company or a corrections corporation which we know are both people heart races are people my friend i'm not your friend dozens of other states are considering loosening marijuana restrictions and a handful of those are considering going full reeker madness and legalizing it like colorado and washington. for the first time a majority of americans around the country now support marijuana legalization but still there are forces out there who want to keep the war going and who don't want you getting high scratch that who don't want you getting high on pot as investigative journalist leaves falling has uncovered the real reason pot is still illegal in most of the country is because pharmaceutical companies want you taking their drugs instead marijuana is proven to have medicinal value and it doesn't kill sixteen thousand people a year like prescription painkillers over since it's grown fairly easily it can't make the pharmaceutical company billions of dollars which now has americans consuming roughly one hundred percent of th

where i questioned our whole drug policy in terms of having for-profit prison industries like correction corporationerica, funding the three strikes and you're out in all these states in order to increase the number of people with mental illness and addiction -- >> the problem is still here. >> -- incarcerated in this country, i am on your side, carl. you know minorities are also targeted by these alcohol, drug companies. there are seven times as many liquor stores in minority neighborhoods than in white neighborhoods. there is no answer to this by just decriminalizing and legalizing this. >> can i ask this, let me ask this question because i do want to tease this up. >> sure. >> just quickly on this, on the sort of opioid abuse, we've seen this -- this seems to be a place where we actually are reducing use without criminalization by reforming prescription patterns and that seems like a win/win. >> well, i mean, the report that came out today by the cdc, one of the things that was talked about was the measures that we're taking in florida. some of those measures were really smart. they increased the

correct. corporations are people, my friend. i suspect he's over there in his car elevator in la jolla laughing about the supreme court ruling right now. but they're actually expanding it. it's extraordinary. not only are corporations people in the sense they can give as much as they want to campaigns, they're now people in terms of actually having religious beliefs. so they're corporate religious beliefs. unless you own a corporation, you're not necessarily benefitting from corporate citizenship. >> yeah, and dana, to that point, one of the things people have missed about this ruling is that it was not just abstract interpretation of the constitution. they were looking at a law from over 20 years ago, a bipartisan religious law, that referred to protecting people's rights to practice their religion and to pray. and the court found something that congress never even discussed at the time it was so unimaginable, the idea that protection would apply to nonhumans, to this corporate form. there are things we can do to change that. so

turns was among the hardened prison prisoners in the hard part but it makes money for the corrections corporation of america you know there's a lobbyist in washington d.c. you're really really fighting to keep these drug laws in place and the people as you correct one there is why they were in paul is going to be a powerful force or next thing i've seen is this leaves us talking about this more of tonight's big and some some of the international. more after this. this was in washington well it's a miss. is being suggested to the list is in the media hands. on proceeds going to actually that doesn't do too much for avenue my agriculture giant teeth on a seventy six year old american farmer based in indiana fallout do you think this is going to create this. do you think this is what's triggering a great america's the largest economy in the world it's also the largest debtor nation in the history of the world breaking a set is mostly about alternatives to the status quo but one thing the real alternatives to the points on the working poor the american dream the next they were just trying to survive

it turns was among the hardened prison prisoners in the heart but it makes money for the corrections corporation of america you know there's a lobbyist in washington d.c. who were really really fighting to keep these drug laws in place and people as you correctly when there is why they were in paul is going to be a powerful force over the next thing as he is this leaves us talking about these more of tonight's big and some some of the international arena you know more after this. would you like me you want your comedy news from t. comedy news to be a bare fisted no holds barred fight to the dad. like a truth vampire winding into the necks of the corporate elite and billionaire freaks while they're going. out so that's what you get with my new show project of the night. scarfing force. looks at the finish line of the marathon. and you think. i would rather as questions just keep building 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. welcome back to tonight's politics panel with me are matt. ari robin rave

if you look at this the people that are gaining from this is the correction corporation of america. low income neighborhoods that are filled with latinos and blacks -- [inaudible] >> guest: mike makes a very important point. if you look across this country where untrained or uncertified around licensed teachers are, way too often the majority of those individuals are in schools where there are students of poverty and many times students of color -- should not be that way at all. i think it's absolutely essential that we reverse that. secretary duncan just came out with a program about excellence for all educators in one of the things they are calling upon the states to develop the plan in what you are going to do. that's a very positive first step. we have to change that and we can't have a revolving door in those schools. i have friends who taught an inner city for years and they come in one of the most important factors is knowing the community, knowing the families. in time to get better and better because you know people. that's a really important point you bring up. the second

in fact, 1983, 3,000 and 2013 close to 5,000. 1984 it should be noted is when the corrections corporation of america, which is the largest private prison for-profit corporation, that is the year that was founded. 1984. and since that time they have experienced exponential growth to the point where they, along with another big one -- i forget the name. gpc or something like that. those corporations are publically held corporations selling stock on wall street. what connection do you see between the growth of the private prison industry and the amount of contributions they make to legislators, including on the federal level, and the growth in the prison industry. the growth in the prison industry and lobbying and the growth in statutes putting people in prison. what connection do you see? >> i can draw a connection between the growth and certain things. i represented a sheriff in louisiana who built the largest public prison system and the whole thing was funded by federal dollars. he took in federal prisoners because the federal rate was much higher than the state rate. there is a connecti

correct. nominally corporate tax rates are 35%.ective tax rate was 12.6%, that's what they really pay. one out of four companies pays zero in taxes. they give any excuse in the world to save a nickel and double cross the american people. and we've got to be firm on that. two things weaver g've got to d i'm sorry, ed. >> the two things you've got to do. go ahead. i didn't mean to interrupt. >> number one, if you're going to stash your money in a tax haven it ain't going to work. you have to pay taxes on your profit. number two, if you want to go too switzerland and u.k., you're not going to bid on contracts with the united states government. that's what happens if you're a deserter. >> i want to switch to the veterans affairs committee which you chair that committee. this was a huge story not long ago with the story that unfolded in arizona. why can't congress get something done on this? what's the holdup? it doesn't sound like anything is going to get done with the latest setback. tell us about it. >> ed, we're working really hard

years before these men were indicted and convicted to stop them or to intervene and correct their behavior through a corporate discipline. >> he said it was very rare that any complaint was ever upheld. virtually all which a few exceptions were ruled unfounded, exonerated or not sustained. the point of order here at the police union the fought to keep these records from going public. >> thousands of documents that were just released reveal hundreds of complaints against chicago three weeks after a flight attendant was found murdered her daughter has been charged. shoes found in the truck or car. police say she had a stormy relationship with her daughter. the boyfriend was charged with the murder two weeks ago. police have issued a community alert in the chatham neighborhood on the south side after a 16-year-old girl was sexually assaulted. it happened at 75th and saint lawrence avenue monday night. the victim was reportedly walking home when a man approached, forced her into an alley and assaulted her. police are asking anyone with information to call them. the republican-controlled house approved a resolutio

. >> and in fact, 1983, 3,000, 2013 close to 5,000, 1984, it should be noted is when the corrections corporation of america, which is the largest private prison for profit corporation, that's the year that that was founded. 1984. ran since that time, they have experienced exponential growth and to the point where they along with there's another big one, i forget the name. georgia -- not georgia. gpc or something like that, but those corporations are publicly held corporations selling stock on wall street. what -- what connection do you see between the growth of the private prison industry and the number of -- and the amount of contributions that those companies can make to legislators including on the federal level and the growth in the prison industry? the growth in the prison industry, the growth in lobbying, and the growth in statutes putting people in prison? what connection do you see? >> well, i can draw a connection between the growth and certain things. i can't between all of them. i actually represented at one point a sheriff in louisiana who built the largest public prison system, and

corporations have a race? >> yes. we think those are correct and that this situation is different. >> so that so that a corporation does have a race for purposes of discrimination laws. >> no, not that the corporation has a race, but that corporations can bring those claims. but you're not interpreting in that situation, all you're a interpreting is the word "person" in a statute, not exercise of religion, which is what makes it different here. >> so those cases involve construction of the term "person"? >> yes, but only "person." >> so the person the corporation of can bring as a person a claim a can bring as a person a claim of racial discrimination. >> that's correct, but not exercise of religion. that's the difference. but let me, if i could, we think that part of the problem here and the reason we make the argument we do at the threshold about why you ought not recognize claims under rfra for-profit corporations is that they are going to predictively give rise to the kinds of issues you have in this case in which the exemption is going to

self-sufficient if you will so the demise of one public corporation doesn't contaminate the finances of others is how i see it or of puerto rico geo bonds is that correct. that's actually ray and jim pointing to recognize these public corporations or sensual services in puerto rico the primary one you just question is predator which is the electric going up early and obviously you can't take out electric monopoly or let creditors take it over that's an essential function terrorist of the government and the people another one is the water system process and then a third is the highway in transportation authority which are the roads so these are all essential you know services infrastructure of the government and if you know what they have to say under the control of the government or some quite as a regular regulatory for now after puerto rico governor always controversy a pretty you signed the ring fence into law s. and p. and moody's both immediately put puerto rico's general obligation bonds on credit watch so why would they do this if the g.a.o. bonds are ringfence from the public corporations i mean do you bonds now have less tax revenue to conserv

let's say the progressive goal of health care reform a single-payer while the corporate interests correctedhat and the health care companies in the hospital lobbyists and the pharmaceutical companies all god and and got their piece particularly things like the individual mandate affect in the bottom line to corporations. that corruption is nonpartisan as well. i think the bigger challenge on our side is that we are supposedly for less government. we are supposedly for simplifying the tax code and shifting towards treating everybody just like everybody else. how do you lobby for that? it doesn't work. it only comes to washington to be left alone. they hope that you do. >> host: all right, we are going to take a quick break. posed him that you say our values define their tactics. what do you mean by that? >> guest: this is saul walinski and rereading it for a dozen times i realized how manipulative the rules for radicals are and there are no principles and output. it's all about fooling somebody to do something they wouldn't do otherwise and that seems to be consistent with their idea of the

correct. >> going to may of 2014, did you learn that he actually interviewed with chick-fil-a corporate? >> that is correct. >> and did he get that job or not? >> he did not. >> and was he depressed. >> yes. >> did they have life insurance on cooper? >> they did. >> what type of policy? >> they had two policies on cooper. the first policy is a $2,000 policy through the home depot. >> now, second one, was this something that they got back in 2013? >> yes. well, november 2012 is when he signed up for it. >> was this something he still had at the time of the child's death. >> that is correct. >> and how much was the policy? >> $25,000 policy. >> now, in speaking with him and from looking through the text messages and chats with his wife and things like that, were they having any type of financial difficulties? >> they were. >> what type? >> she was complaining about his purchasing. sporadic purchasing or overcharging credit cards. >> now, who was in control of the finances at this time? >> he was. >> did he tell you anything about his finances? >> yes. >> what did he tell you? >> he stated t

correct data. i'm not part of the beverage industry or any corporation. so i guess in some ways i do resent the fact that it's implied that if you don't support this tax that you are somehow associated with the beverage industry folks who are unfortunately targeting our community to oppose this tax in the first place. i get that. but everyone has the right to purchase what they want. they have the right to drink what they want. they have the right to do what it is they want and i realize that this is a real challenge especially with young people and in poorer communities, but the problem that i have, the bigger problem that i have which i said before is where are the healthier alternatives. single family house -- i know supervisor mar said the bottled water in schools. where are these items to purchase because kids are going to purchase these items. the programs we talk about funding don't always support the kids that we are talking about changing the behaviors. there is no direct connection to ensure that the population that we are talking about that's i
