well today we have news for you about aaron swartz he's executive director of demand progress and co-founder of reddit and he's been a frequent guest on this show but yesterday he was arrested and charged with violating federal hacking laws for downloading four million doctor documents from jay stuart from mit's network now if convicted of the felony charges short's could face up to thirty five years in prison and a one million dollars fine m j stores a company that provides digitized copies of academic journals it's used in universities all over the country and they've already come out saying that they did not refer this case to the feds and that all the information has been returned but the rest is once again showing a lie on the fight for open access to information and state and provider to wired dot com david so gallantly executive director of demand progress said it's like trying to put someone in jail for allegedly checking too many books out of the library but other open access advocates say that schwartz has just set the movement back so what do you make of this case well joining me

store and schwartz of demand progress was charged with violating federal hacking laws and he could be facing decades behind bars if he's convicted but just days later now several thousand documents coming from j. sort of been have popped up on the file sharing website the pirate bay so you cordin to sources over eighteen thousand scientific articles from the philosophical transactions of the royal society appeared in the manifesto for a person named greg maxwell and it specifically stated the maxwell obtained these files a long time ago and he was nervous to share that information until he heard about schwartz's efforts to make i could have information available to everyone so he went on to say that he actually obtained those documents through boring means but that he still sides were sure it's an argument of open access stories currently working to verify those uploaded documents did in fact come from their service they have already come out and said that maxwell's comments on how we obtain that information don't really match up with how jesus or operates but this all just plays into

with the president demanding an afternoon update on progress.ator mitch mcconnell said that he's working on a new deficit reduction plan. but house republicans hate his idea of giving the president power to raise the debt ceiling. on a house republican conference call, speaker boehner reportedly said that he's trying to use mcconnell's last-ditch senate e plan. even after he walked away from negotiations with the president. >> listen, it's time to get serious. i'm confident that the bipartisan leaders here in congressssan act. white housuswon't get serious. we will. >> reporter: but boehner told his members this afternoon that he's still trying to get the president to agree to up to 4 trillion in cuts. it was a 3.1 trillion deal that boehner walked away from. cuts to medicare and medicaid. the sticking point, revenues. e two sides agreed to tax reforms adding up to $800 billion. but then the president asked for $400 billion more. >> the white house moved the goalpost. >> when you look at the overall package there's no moving of the goalpost here

. >> i don't know any progressives who demanded he showed a certificate but i take to heart there is a danger in your question about progressive criticism of president obama. president obama has lashed out at progressives who have criticized him but there's a misunderstanding of the relationship between those outside who support his presidency but want to push him be on the limits of what some believe are constricted politics and there is a support in that as opposed to those on the right who want to destroy his presidency but i sense when i tweet something critical of president obama's policy there is a wave of anger from a range of people. look at the policies eric spoke about the job crisis. the rates of unemployment among african-americans and latinos have soared and in the support for president obama there is a kind of cultural identity support but in terms of the objective fact it seems people should be agitating for a jobs policy in this country that will bring it all. it is a crisis and the new normal should not be 9%.

. >> i don't know many progressives who demand a president obama showed their certificate but i take art, there's an anger in your question about progressive criticism of president obama, but, you know, president obama has lashed out at progressives who is criticizing but it seems to me there's a fundamental misunderstanding of the relationship between those outside who support his presidency but want to push him beyond the limits of what some believe are constricted politics. there's a support in that as opposed to those on the right who want to delegitimize and destroy his presidency. i sent which we for example, something critical of president obama's policy, there's often a wave of anger from a range of people. but, you know, let's be -- look at the policies eric spoke about, the job crisis. you know, the rates of unemployment among african-americans, among latinos have soared. and i think that in the support for president obama there's a right kind of cultural identity support, but in terms of the raw objective facts, it seems to me people should be agitating for a jobs policy in

as arbitrary illegal and progressive progressive we punitive practices and some of the demands include an end to long term solitary confinement an adequate and nutritious food some striking prisoners say that they feel no meaningful change will come until prisoners start dying so will the state let it go that far and if they do what does that say about our prison system joining me from our studio in los angeles is clyde young revolutionary communist and former president thank you so much for joining us tonight now for starters do you have any updates for us as to the latest on whether any negotiations are going on in this prison strike oh thank you for having me on first of all the latest report that i have received is that there have been negotiations and perhaps those negotiations are going on today as well but that they started yesterday between the leaders of the strike. and also their mediators on the outside but no substantial progress has been made in those negotiations and the right to say that it's outrageous that the prison authorities have allowed this situation to progress

meanwhile today a group of progressive featuring van jones and representative keith ellison also gathered on capitol hill to talk about their demands that congress not gut social security medicare and medicaid so what exactly is going on here van jones and other progressive trying to start their own sort of tea party only on the left for more on our studio in los angeles we're going to go to richard afghan senior fellow at the campaign for america's future peter richard i want to talk to you about this new progressive movement that we're seeing a little later and so far i would have to say a little less powerful than what we've seen the tea party do what is this progressive movement trying to say here where. they are basically expressing the viewpoint of most americans according to the polls including most republicans and surprisingly even in some cases most tea party members with their are saying is that there should be no cuts to social security or medicare as part of the deficit discussion that social security should be fixed by raising the taxes particularly the payroll tax about one hundred six per thousand dollars which is it

market for service of the correlation in the supply demand so believe in the market and we have to see the flexible. progress so strong ruble for you is not a problem but absolutely not a lot of speculations about that but they never. see the any political and statistical the good. google drops a drug out back that today the share of bank lending of total investment into the real economy in russia is it seven percent why don't rush in banks take more active courage in the investing process worried why is credit in russia so expensive i mean one of the most expensive in the other countries. to two points the price and the amount the price the incredible suspense of but of course it's very much depends on the inflation ok when you lent money to somebody you have to fund it or you have to get some money or money from somebody or you pay the deposit rate and somebody pay your credit rate and there is margin in the credit rate and there was a trade and that is the beggar on for your financial return it means the credit in any case the credit price couldn't be cheaper in the present price and the present is very m

include a demand that both houses of congress pass a balanced budget amendment which never looked like it was going to happen, at least in the short term, and reid's plan, which is a work in progressdoes not include a demand for tax increases, which a lot of people said was never going to get past the house. >> let me ask you a quick question. boehner can take this off the floor, which he's doing, and make the additional cuts. it's still not going to get out of that senate. explain to us how that's progress either way? >> well, the fact of the matter is, nobody is going to get everything that they want and in all likelihood, what happens when you're down to the wire on something like this, you end up with a sin that sis of ideas that people can go for, at least in the short term. so they'll have to be some of this and some of that in all likelihood in the hope that the president can sign off on it too. >> all right. joe johns, thanks. early in his report used the word embarrassment twice and there's the democratic process and then an embarrassment of process. >> well crossed into the -- >> i think we have. it's interesting, this morning, we're trying to assess just when the govern

people to pump their fists in the air and make demands of the department without offering any real solutions to the problem is, i am sorry to say, not progressive, but a little two- party -- tea party. i would like you to withdraw this ordinance and take another step getting to the root of the problem. >> my name is todd david. i am here on behalf of the action community. a lot to talk about the opportunity for groups to work together to ford revenue for rec and park. i think there are a lot of natural allies who want to see more money and more services going to wreck and parks. this legislation feels more like an unfunded mandate than the goal of getting more money to reckon park to be providing more services to the citizens of san francisco. i think part of that was a result of the process being rushed. i think we have a real opportunity to move the ball forward. i think this legislation needs to be removed and we thought, and brought back to a larger community-based where we can all look together. we need to provide more money from the general fund to provide more services to san francisco. thank you very much. supervisor avalos: thank you.

progress on. i think with respect to the war on drugs, what we've always said is that investing in prevention, reducing demand, is going to be the most cost- effective thing that we can do. we still have to interdict the big drug kingpins and we still have to enforce our drug laws. but making sure that we're spending more on prevention and treatment can make a huge difference. with respect to some of these big agribusiness and big oil subsidies, those are the examples of the kinds of loopholes we can close. and public campaign financing is something that i've supported in the past. there is no doubt that money has an impact on what happens here in washington. and the more we can reduce money's impact on washington, the better off we're going to be. mr. dorsey: our next response from elizabeth in chicago: "stop giving money to countries that waste it -- pakistan. keep military, share the wealth between branches, and don't cut education." the president: you know, the one thing i would say is, on the notion of giving money to countries that waste it -- and pakistan is listed there -- i think it's important for p

demands can be met. it appears we are making progress. but the president has in one breath asked both parties to leave their rhetoric at the door. but then in the same next breath, he accused republicans of trying to cut tax loopholes for the rich in order to curb the debt problem. but that alone won't do it. beyond being contradictory and self-serving, these accusations demonstrate that democrats continue to misunderstand the real problem. c.b.o. has nailed it. they recently revealed that it is runaway spending, not a lack of revenue, that is driving our debt today. according to c.b.o.'s long-term budget forecast, even with tax increases that raises revenues from its historic 18% of g.d.p. to 23% of g.d.p., the national debt will continue to grow unless we have the spending reductions. everyone here in congress understands how important this vote is. but surely after the c.b.o. analysis, we must confront the fact that spending is growing relentlessly needs and -- and needs to be placed under control. we need to see correspondingly spendi

progressive. call or click today. >>> let me finish tonight with a simple thought about what we're watching here. the first people to battle the demandsof those threatening to blow up the economy were the republicans in the house. the leaders. the leaders did what the followers told them to do, meet their demands, hold up the country to get their way. those followers didn't win the senate or the presidency, just the house. using the house, they can hold up the entire united states government. they threaten to blow things up economically, and it worked. they said they were willing to do that just to get their way. not by persuasion or politics or not by democratic government, but by threatening the destruction of the country's finances. right. so what's next? the power grid? well, the next time will they threaten to close down electricity and communications? that might really work well. really get some action. hey, we're talking the ends justifying the means here, aren't we? if getting their way on taxes and spending issues justifies drifting this country up to 9 the edge of financial catastrophe, how about a more frightening weapon? t

demanding tax hikes. >> as long as this president is in the oval office, real solution is probably unattainable. >> we must protect medicare and social security. we will not support cuts. >> what little progresswas made came in the form of an 18-month plan proposed by republicans. 18 months because that's how much remains in president obama's term. they say in 18 months, with a republican president, they can pass a long-term plan. >>> okay, if you snore or know someone that does snore, this one is for you. hotel rooms that are snore-proof, from the walls to the headboard, the technology to help you rest. >>> also ahead -- wait a minute, mr. postman, the tiny letters that have turned into big business for a bay area woman. >>> and back in action. former governor is returning to the big screen. >>> and good evening. i'm chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. the fog so strong actually accumulating into some rain totals, berkeley with 0.5 and oakland 0.3. we'll let you k of this l lasts and some rare je records coming up. as >>> he said he'd be back and now a spokesperson for arnold schwarzenegger says the former governor will return to acting with a role in a new western movie entitled "the last sta

progress on. what we've said as to the war on drugs, investing in protection and reducing the demand will be the moste thing we can do. we still have to enforce our drug laws, but making sure we're spending more on prevention and treatment can make a huge difference. with respect to some of these big agrj business and big oil subsidies, those are examples of the loopholes we can close. and public campaign financing is something i've supported in the past. there is no doubt money has an impact on what happens here in washington. and the more we can reduce money's impact on washington, the better off we're going to be. >> our next response from elizabeth from chicago. "stop giving money to countries that waste it, pakistan, keep military, share the wealth between branches, and don't cut education." >> i think it's important for people to know that foreign aid can accounts for less than 2% of our budget. if you define it narrowly as the kind of foreign aid to help feed people, and what we think of classically as foreign aid, it's probably closer to 1%. so sometimes people have an exaggerated sense that
