are people voting green because we do represent the aspirations of tens of millions of americans dr stein is an excellent debater she represents the views of many people those views are being excluded from the debates do you think you'll making ground making some sort of progress in moving away from a two party system in the states in the future. yeah absolutely i think that if you look at the progress of the greens here in the u.s. we are in it for the long haul there are hundreds of green elected officials and local office mayors city officials school board officials across the united states we have major cities including the one i'm sitting in right now i'm in minneapolis st paul where we have greens and elective office and we are on a path to success it may take a number of years it may even take decades but you know the german green stuck with it and now they are polling twenty twenty five percent and national polls they run major states in germany and they've had a major impact on german policy we hope and intend to do the same thing in the united states you are what you say on the

dr. jill stein. on tuesday, she and her running mate were arrested as they attempted to enter the debate site. "democracy now!" was there at the time of their arrest. >> we are here at the arcades of the american debate to say that we need to open up this debate and make it a full, fair, and inclusive debate. >> issued not to be whether or not you have billions of dollars that determines whether or not the american people can hear about your platform. >> our green and pain is on the ballot for 85% of -- campaign is on the ballot for 85% of voters. they deserve to know who their choices are in this election and the resolutions are. the commission on presidential debates makes a mockery of democracy. by conducting this fate and >> do you have credentials? >> yes, we do. we have been on the ballot in 85% of the voters. >> this is an educational experience. >> we think it is more than that. >> you're going to be run over by a car. move in with the traffic cones critics ma'am, please. >> we're here to sta

dr. jill stein? first, joe biden soothes a crying baby, president obama responds to a crying baby named trump and bill o'reilly provides a timetable for mitt romney turning this economy arounund all by himself. when it doesn't fit anywhere else, the spitzer crew puts it in the viewfinder. >> i guess donald trump made his bombshell announcement. remember he's been saying -- this is going to change the whole course of everything. >> everyone was tuned in wanting to hear what donald trump had to say. turned out to be nothing but a silly little publicity stunt and i said to myself, hey that's not the donald trump i know. >> i believe we have the footage of the announcement of making it -- yeah, wait a second. you know what? i'm sorry. i'm sorry. [ laughter ] that wasn't donald trump essentially trying to publicly extort the president of the united states. that was a gorilla eating its own [ bleep ] >> what's this thing with trump and you? it is like me and letterman. what does he have against you? >> pre

dr. jill stein of the green party and rocky anderson of the justice the party.ing the official debate, moderator jim lehrer as president obama and mitt romney if there's a fundamental debate it -- difference of how they view the federal government. >> idfa think there are differences. the first role of the federal government is to keep the american people safe, its most basic function. as commander in chief, that is something that's i have worked on and thought about every single day i've been in the oval office. but also believe that government has the capacity -- the federal government -- has the capacity to help open up opportunity and create ladders of opportunity and to create frameworks where the american people can succeed. look, the genius of america is the free enterprise system and freedom and the fact that people can go out there and start a business, work on an idea, make their own decisions. but as abraham lincoln understood, there also things we do better together. in the middle of the civil war, abraham lincoln said, let's help to finance the tran

well we hope that dr stein is. just being detained now for a very brief amount of time we do know that the last time dr stunned was arrested about two weeks ago when she attempted to enter the obama romney debate that was taking place at hofstra university on long island she and running mate cheri hochul were detained and handcuffed to a chair for for eight hours before being released what's the general view on that action i mean sort of stymies the rest as you said couple of weeks when she tried to take part in one of those t.v. debates between obama and romney thanks the question is it fed third party candidates and being given the opportunity to campaign on equal terms with the two main parties and hey look what happens when they try to do so well it's absolutely unfair and anti-democratic and there's a reason for it is that the the obama romney debates are sponsored by the commission on presidential debates which is itself owned by the democratic and republican parties for the express purpose of privileging the

thank you very much for joining me dr stein it's great to be with you can really really appreciate it thanks for coming i read you said you'd be the underdog candidate for the underdog voters who are these on the docket voters it's certainly most of the american public people are losing their jobs wages are declining millions have lost their home another million are in the pipeline to lose their homes this year the cost of health care is skyrocketing public higher education is increasingly out of reach we have thirty six million young people who are students or recent graduates who are effectively indentured servants because they don't have the jobs or the wages to repave these unforgiving debts and the political establishment is not doing anything about it while a very small segment of the american population the one percent we say is making out like bandits so neither party is fixing this i just want to make this clear you're going to be on ballots but not in all states can you explain what is it in the system in the u.s. that makes it so hard for a third party to break into those t

dr. jill stein and her running mate cheri honkala. stein called her ticket a viable third-party ticket challenge too beholden republicans and democrats. >> i believe grass-roots grows from the community up, but at the same time, we have a state of emergency at the national mall. to silence the only hope of that opposition's voice in this election when so much is at stake, i think, would be a terrible loss for the american people. there is no reason why americans should have to walk into the voting booths in november and only have effectively two wall street-sponsored choices. >> that was green party nominee jill stein. we also spoke to justice party nominee rocky anderson in the republican national convention in tampa, florida last month. >> these two parties have a stranglehold on our democracy. they are depriving people around the country of not only being able to get on the ballot. they are denying us of our freedom of choice. we are seeing it in the most aggressive ways. >> again, we are going to have this presidential debate, inc

dr. jill stein of the green party and rocky anderson of the justice party.ing a special broadcast monday night, we broke the sound barrier during the brahma -- obama-romney debate, to get real-time responses from jill stein and rocky anderson. this is debate moderator bob schieffer of cbs news. >> are you saying you want a bigger military, a bigger navy? you do not want to cut defense spending. what i want to ask you, we were talking about financial issues. where you going to get the money. >> first of all, i'm going through from the beginning we will cut about 5% of the discretionary budget, excluding military. >> [indiscernible] >> i will be happy to have to take a look. come on our website. we will have a balanced budget in eight to 10 years. number one, i get rid of obamacare. there are a number of things that sound good but we cannot afford them but that does not sound good and is not affordable. i would get rid of that from day one. we take program after program, and that we don't absolutely have to have come and get rid of them. number two, we take so

one of them is dr. steinn party and joins us here on young turks. obviously you've got long odds on getting elected, let's start with medicare for all. what is that, what would you do in rewards to health care with that issue? >> medicare for all is the health care system that people are clamoring for because the affordable care act whether you call it romney care or obamacare and they were agreeing during the debates that they're basically the same thing it's not doing it for us. i live in massachusetts and we know it's neither affordable nor caring, when you get sick, you find out you're not covered. medicare for all is basically what's working right now, that is medicare, providing comprehensive health care. what we want to do is just drop the eligibility age so that you're covered from the moment of conception, and basically that's the what it does. it shrinking that massive wasteful insurance bureaucracy that's now eating up 30% of your health care dollar. instead, that actually goes into health care to

nominee for president of the united states with the green party thank you very much for joining me dr stein it's pretty to be with you can really really appreciate it thanks for coming i read you said you'd be the underdog candidate for the underdog boulder's who are these on the docket voters it's certainly most of the american public people are losing their jobs wages are declining millions have lost their home another million are in the pipeline to lose their homes this year the cost of health care is skyrocketing public higher education.

commission on presidential debates for not letting her take part in the big national debate although dr steinargues she meets all u.s. constitutional no required requirements to take the office of president because the commission is organized and controlled by democratic and republican parties there is no enthusiasm on the part of the truth to lead a third party in arguably both parties fear that a third party candidate could become a spoiler in the election for example in the year two thousand independent candidate ralph nader was seen as a spoiler who contributed to the victory of george w. bush so it seems their solution is to black out alternative candidates and convince the american people that they have no other choice but barack obama and mitt romney and the mainstream media here are very much part of that black house. she's going that she can live from washington guy and then he thanks indeed for your perspective. and see host tom hartman took part in the key event and he says party candidates will continue to be barred from the big picture until they start to puncturing to british in

she spoke exclusively to a number of the candidates taking part in that debate one of them was dr jill stein from the green party of america earlier this month she was arrested for protesting the first presidential debate she tells us why she wants. most of the american public doesn't even know that there are other candidates running so that's why i went to the gateway to the debate at hofstra university two weeks ago to demand that the debate be opened up and i was arrested and handcuffed to a chair for eight hours unfortunately this is what our democracy is looking like we are squandering trillions of dollars right now on wars for oil that we don't need on tax breaks for the wealthy and on bailouts for wall street forty billion a month now being spent to bail out the bankers once again so we can stop all that the establishment parties are quaking in their boots that word will get out and in fact if it does there are enough people to turn the results of this election on its head is that going to happen i'm not holding my breath but if we're ever going to win it we've got to begin it. now th

attended by former new mexico governor gary johnson of the libertarian party of the green party's dr jill stein former virginia congressman virgil goode with the constitution party and former salt lake city mayor rocky anderson with the justice party i should mention this debate was aired on c.-span and al-jazeera as well but none of the major cable networks aired it even though the host and larry king spent decades working for c.n.n. before candidates agreed on more than they disagreed upon but last night their ideas and their faces were thrust into the spotlight something that doesn't often happen despite being on the ballot in many states one of the topics covered was an issue that has played a major role in our elections and in our democratic process as a whole campaign finance here are a couple of the candidates speaking about that. they would have never signed the national defense authorization act allowing for you when i was you was that is to be arrested and detained without being charged that's the reason we called or was this. it's an outrage ten twenty one and it would. start with. i

appreciate your taking the time to call in and make it very very well and in fact dr jill stein and her running mate spent the six hours spent six hours less than clear the time of debate handcuffed to a chair which should tell you something. i would like to see not only the green party that i'd like to see the libertarian party the constitutional party the the justice party i mean we've got a bunch of parties united states we need to seriously consider instant runoff voting or proportional representation changing our electoral system to crack open american politics so we can have multiple parties here in the united states christine and shana dale pennsylvania christine what's on your mind tonight well in one room it is that the folks in new slogan of smaller government equals directly a new elected corporate control you're absolutely right and i very much appreciate your pointing that out because this is you know the this is the choice they come to and they said you really want the government between you and your doctor well if the answer is no then what's the alternative you know unit

democrats and the republicans have and we've done our homework it's mathematically possible for dr jill stein and i to win the presidency so we should be able to be a part of the debates really quick before we talk about some of the bigger issues here just one final question about you know you were asked what were you charged with and you know are you can have to face trial. yes we will have to face trial we were charged with disorderly conduct protests appeared at different times in my life in nonviolent civil disobedience it became very clear to the both of us that this was very political and that they wanted us to be you. and. if we do apologize for having a tiny bit of trouble with your audio there but it looks like it's should hold up now let's get to some of the things you and joe were speaking about before you were arrested about the system in general why is it that you think third party candidates are still kept out of these debates well first of all the c.p.p. is sponsored by ten different corporations we were happy because we saw that three sponsors had pulled out they were expectin

attended by former new mexico governor gary johnson of the libertarian party the green party's dr jill stein former virginia congressman virgil goode with the constitution party and former salt lake city mayor rocky anderson with the justice party began it spoke about several topics including something that we speak about quite a bit here at r t a national defense authorization act signed into law by president obama you know a year ago. we would have never signed the national defense authorization act allowing for you when i was you was that is to be arrested and detained without being charged that's the reason we call or is this. it's an outrage ten twenty one and it would. start with. it's kind of the trail of our civil liberties that the president has assumed dictatorial rights to put us in prison at his pleasure without charge or without trial this is an allowable and is a basic offense against the very foundation of american liberty and it's. i should mention this debate was aired on c.n.n. c.-span and al-jazeera as well but none of the major cable networks aired it even though one of t

the democrats and republicans have and we've done our homework it's mathematically possible for dr jill stein and i to win the presidency so we should be allowed to be a part of the debate now let's get to to some of the things you and joe were speaking about before you were arrested about the system in general why is it that you think third party candidates are still kept out of these debates. well first of all the the c.p.b. is sponsored by ten different corporations we were happy because we saw that three sponsors had pulled out they were expecting a fourth to pull out that didn't happen yet however and again both the democrats and republicans actually represents a one percent in this country and they know that the issues that jill and i are speaking to do represent the majority of the american people so they didn't want to sit on the stage the debates here are actually like reality television so you're saying one of the problems is that they this commission on presidential debates is actually you know the debates themselves are sponsored by major corporations and that in itself is an issu

dr. jill stein and put the same question to rocky anderson. want to play an excerpt of jill stein's response to moderator jim lehrer's questioned about so-called entitlement programs and social security. >> it is very important to point out that while we hear a very different narrative from barack obama and the democrats than we do from mitt romney, with mitt romney's narrative being, usually harsh, scary, selfishness on steroids, and the democratic narrative being warm and fuzzy and we're all in this together let's just wait for things to get better, it is really important to look beyond the talk, to look at the walk, to look at what is being proposed. geoffrey sax at the university of columbia has pointed out in his analysis of the budget proposal to both obama and romney-ryan, points out they are both aiming for essentially the same targets. they're both aiming for social security to be about 5% of gdp some years down the line whether it is four or eight years. and on medicare, there are both aiming for medicare to be reduced to about 3.2%

dr. parekh. >> thank you, mr. stein, for that wonderful introduction. thank you, council members, for this opportunity to share what we do on a day-to-day basis. i'm a psychiatrist with the department of public health and clinical director of the homeless outreach team. our team started about 8 years ago and under mayor newsom's leadership and mayor newsom had visited different locations around the country and had heavy belief in the fact that you need outreach to reach out to folks who are otherwise unable to connect to the services that can help them. there are lots of people who use our department of public health services, human health services, shelters, but the outreach team is composed in particular to reach out to folks who had the inability because of their disabilities to make these connections. and so we were put together, you know, staffing from the department of public health, from human services agency, from a nonprofit, cats, one of the wonderful thing about cats is that they actually hire people who formerly were homeless, who formerly w

dr. jennifer hart stein and arthur cluger. >> do parents have favorites?y. >> we agree on that. one of the studies that we looked at at "time" magazine showed 65% of all fathers and 70% of all mothers exhibit a preference for one child. keep in mind the key word here is exhibit. because the other ones may simply be doing a better job of covering it up. >> can that be harmful. >> it depends on how you're exhibiting it. if you're showing a preference to the kid that's the kid you take when you go out. the other child is left home, they are going to feel potentially less worthy, less important and do internalize that and feel less validated. you have to be mindful how it can impact on both kids. the other might feel i'm the greatest i get everything i want. that's not so great for them later in life. you want to be careful how you exhibit. but loving and liking your children are two different things and you have to be aware you might like one more than the other. that's just a fact. >> we were talking about this earlier. at some point in time i think i like c

look at those numbers, is it any surprise the world has our number, to ben stein, charles payne, dagen mcdowell and adam lashinsky, dr. payne, great to have you back. >> good to be here. >> the u.s. government is flat bro, but the public isn't broke, that's the shame our average share of the debt that he government wildly throws away and spends like crazy and can't put on your, on any kind of control of, but this is where we are, this is the inflection point, where we are, at the moment of truth where we keep running this up we're asking americans you want the total to be more than that. essentiallwe've become a total welfare country, a total welfare state unless somehow the american public puts their foot down, government won't do it. >> what i don't like about it, it does put it in a darkly human maybe selfish conscious, this is our share, to folks abroad. >> just to folks abroad. but two-thirds of our debt is held by. >> we owe ourselves. you figure you owet yourself -- well, i'm not going to say it. this i have to pay. >> and what you have to pay back. goodpoint, but in order to fix it people are going to have to

brown stein's piece he writes democrats say blue collar women have been the principle and most receptive target for their extended ad barrage portraying romney as plutocrat. on airing these on drge judy the strategy seems to be paying off lifting obama's numbers among a group that tilts republicans in swing states that will be a key to victory in november. ask you about this, this late stage i call it a late -- i don't know what i called it a last stage gaps when going into the commercial break, but we've -- this has been something we've seen in the numbers for a while now, romney has a problem among latinos and women and in particular, you know, the latino demographics, 70/20 are terrible numbers. bill clinton got the highest percentage of the hispanic vote in '96, 72%. looks like the president is on track to do that. you see these piecemeal efforts from the romney campaign. cantor media reports romney ran 2100 -- 2,169 spanish language ads from mid april to the end of august. he ran 2,855 in the first 23 days in september. >> yeah. well look, i think when -- if romney loses and we go back and do the autopsy you're going to start to see the depth of his campaign, you can trac

stein and bob woodward still with us. joining us, former national security adviser for president carter, dr.ve got a debate tonight, dr. brzezinski. we just have to go back, it's too rich, 1976. where were you when gerald ford famously declared that the soviets were not occupying poland, and how high was the chair that you fell out of when you heard it? >> listen, i didn't fall out of a chair. i started elevating. i was with the president, the subsequent president, the president who won the election in san francisco. and the moment gerald ford said that, i thought the debate was over, basically. because we had an issue that we could hammer away at immediately. and it showed to the public that the president wasn't quite entirely, president ford, on top of the issues. >> and he wouldn't correct it for a long time. >> that's right. >> and that was -- if he had just come out and said, oops, i made a mistake like everyone, but he would not do that. >> i think the error would have stood, but you're right, he would have mitigated it. >> he refused. hey, let's talk about libya. there are a lot of co
