dylan? of what you're describing, david, the definitive characteristics of a race to the bottom or a lesser of two evils voting? so i feel that whoever the person is, president obama is not addressing the screwed up banking system, screwed up trade agreement, screwed up tax code, screwed up unemployment markets, et cetera, so i go to the other guy, because that's the only other choice i have, the other guy. so i go to the other guy, the other guy's worst than first guy. now, hang on a second, i've got to go back to the first guy, but the first guy is still bought by the banks, still fundamentally not willing to address those structural issues. it just strikes me that what you're describing -- what you're narrating is the tragedy of a race to the bottom. >> yeah, if you look at other countries who have been in a similar pickle, there's been this back and forth in political power, but i actually have hope, dylan, if we just listen, listen to some of those folks i talked to the lambeau, listen

dylan? >> big clear that the winner in iowa night's caucuses was not romney or santorum, but rather citizens united and its debut on the presidential election stage. the supreme court, and that ruling had mathematically by far the biggest impact on the iowa race. in fact, more money was spent on iowa super pac ads than by any individual candidate and all that super pac must oney was usn the brilliant way it can be used, not to get something done, but to make sure something never happens. destruction, this is a race to the bottom and the money is used to destroy people. in this case, newt gingrich. before the attack ads from the super pacs were teed up, gingrich was polling at 26%, putting him in first place. but after $3 million in negative super pac ads, gingrich ended up in fourth place tuesday night, after getting th ting rat tat t that super pac money. and someone had to go and he was the one. it's using the money to annihilate the very reputation of a candidate who could be in your way.

the other thing is rachel says hey dylan has a cup i think i can borrow somebody else's money from dylan's retirement to buy his cup from him and sell his cup to somebody else cheap so you get a lot of money and i'm left with no cup. that may sound that is what we're to a 5-year-old, what's the system? how do the grownups make decisions in america? what you have to tell them is we don't differentiate between rachael and dylan decide to collaborate to make something. or whether rachael or dylan are able to exploit one another through some particular breech of visibility, integrity or choice where i withhold information from you or whatever it may be. there are these things we do in our personal relationships and our systematic relationships as a country and we're paying a we lost the nobility with compassion. i've been yelling and screaming problems. it's wrong. it hurt me. i gained weight, i started smoking. it's not health become angry about what's in this book. and somebody who wrote it originally angry. >> but are we -- >> it's compassion. >> are we more precise about awhat free enterpr

i know you agreed with that, dylan.lled for a constitutional amendment to say congress should regulate what spending goes on in campaigns. others have said get rid of the corporate personhood. others have said we have to reform the entire system. get the dirty money out of politics. we'll play the game with the rules we've got. the problem is that the rules are wrong and have to be changed. the only way to do that is for the thousands and thousands, millions of people who actually agree with us, they agree with us that this system is flawed. let's stand up and take our democracy back. let's stand up and take our elections back. >> i agree. thank you, ken. great job identifying some names in the name of transpara(v that's the first step. congresswoman edwards, it's always a pleasure. thank you. to reiterate, there are 311 million americans. if we can get it together, i can't imagine we can't knock it down. coming up, we just talked about the big ad spending. there's a whole other side of this that rarely gets talked abou

and the host of the "dylan ratigan show." we're joined by fritz nelson. i didn't run that touf embarras you. i ran that to compliment you. people aren't getting worked up enough about what's going on. the bumper sticker. if you're not mad, you're not paying attention. >> what you're seeing is not to focus on the prowrestling of the political parties, but on our obvious need to understand the root of our issues, which i see as a corrupted tax code that's encouraging money to leave this country. a rigged trade policy that's encouraging money to leave this count country, and a dysfunctional banking system that does not invest in this country. but instead, either incentivizes their own speculation or exports money from this country. if you don't have investment in your country, yao will not have the jobs and prosperity. >> that's where people need to get upset. you talk about money outflow. but people don't -- i think people underestimate the trouble we're in and are too quick to take easy answers. >> it's one of those things where acknowledging a big, scary

i am dylan ratigan. it's a pleasure to be seeing you. we'll talk about the jon huntsman news in a moment, but our big story on this martin luther king jr. holiday is the new math of racism in america. the "greedy bastards" have rebranded racism by calling it the war on drugs. they made it both acceptable and profitable. the concerns of racism from the 1950s and '60s have improved in this country, if you look at the numbers, the war on drugs has become a racist war. blacks are 10 times as likely as whites to be incarcerated for the same drug crimes. there are more blacks in prison or on probation in america today than there were enslaved in this country prior to the civil war. but remember, this is "greedy bastards"-style racism. there's a profit to be made from the war on drugs and in keeping a huge number of folks in prison. law enforcement agencies are allowed by federal law to use seized drug money to supplement their budgets. an appealing carrot at a time of cutbacks. u.s. taxpayers, you and me, spent $74 billion on prisons in 2007 w

i am dylan ratigan. we are thrilled to be out west where we're about to launch our 30 million jobs tour tomorrow in silicon valley. more details shortly, but we begin with the greedy bastard behavior that's behind the jobs crisis and the nightmare that is the u.s. housing market and the golden state out here, ground zero for both of these problems. 3 points higher on unemployment rate in california. this does not account for the underemployed and those no longer counted at all. housing is no way to live. california, the third highest number of foreclosures in america. they are expected to jump nationally. more foreclosures this year, by 25%. but remember, this is not simply a foreclosure crisis. even americans who can afford their mortgage payments are still stuck in their homes because they owe more than they can fetch for their properties. home prices nationally have dropped by more than a third since the start of the crisis. here in california, it's worse. any talk of a recovery simply not true. in fa

that's where dylan's sister, lee grace, was being held. they found a handwritten note from dylan saying he was going to break her out. he wrote a note to his captors saying, i enjoyed staying here. don't take this personal. >> i'm not surprised in the least. it goes to the showy immaturity. they want to outfox everybody and make it grand and glorious. >> reporter: they made headlines last year after a week-long man hunt. >> over 100 miles an hour at this time. >> reporter: they wnt on to rob a bank in georgia before crashing their get away car in colorado. all three are facing attempted murder and assault charges. bill brother dylan faces one more. >> you don't get much attention locked up in a cell kday in and day out. >> police say he left another note. this one to the fbi telling him that by the time they found him, he would be long gone. all three are still behind bar. dylan is in a jail 45 miles away from his other siblings. >> i liked the other note. i like staying here, don't take it personally. thank you, muhammad. >> let's check t

>> dylan ratigan is the host of the "dylan ratigan show" here on msnbc.ive that's playing out right now about good capitalism against basically vulture capitalism. >> well, the interesting thing, as people learn about the difference between vulture capitalism really extraction, taking money out of the system and calling it capitalism and value creation. you and i partnered to make something and sell it, that is a remarkable teaching moment, not only because of the insight it provides the republican party, but as you learn it, you'll see that the very people who are making loans to the republicans, like mitt romney and others are the people that work in the obama administration. if you're wondering why it is that we're stuck fighting about who believes what and what religion and not talking about why it is we have a massive bank tax and trade extraction in this country is because while 311 million of us argue, it prevents us from confronting both corrupt political parties taking money from the banking system that profits from the vulture system isn't it th

i am dylan ratigan. thank you for joining us for day three of our 30 million jobs tour that will be rolling throughout the winter. more on that in a few moments. first, let's deal with the news of the day. we can't get enough of what happened and what didn't happen last night in south carolina. >> no. but i will. [ applause ] >> more on the political follies including president obama doing reverend al green with our mega panel later. but we are live now here in california's treasure island, smack in the middle of the san francisco bay. behind us, you can see the bay bridge. that bridge links oakland to san francisco, and it is getting a $7.2 billion taxpayer upgrade. it's the biggest public works project in the history of california. and it should be a great opportunity to celebrate and create thousands of u.s. jobs. but guess what? this bridge is being made in china. 3,000 chinese workers received new jobs instead of americans. if that's not enough, those chinese manufacturers are using 50,000 tons of f

instead, dylan testified at trial that campbell wasn't swinging the bat.nother key witness, who refused to change his story and was not called to testify, was james white. >> they were telling me that other people said this and other people said that, and i said, but i'm not interested in what other people said. i'm telling you what i saw and this is the truth. >> reporter: white was standing inside the deli, and he saw charles campbell not as victim, but as aggressor. >> they held him down, only as long as it took for him to cease attacking. and once he did that, they would let him up. >> reporter: white says that's when campbell got the bat, swinging at the elder diguglielmo. >> i'm looking at him saying, my god, he's going to kill him. >> reporter: the jury never heard that version either. bellantoni found the autopsy report supported white's story. >> one of the things the district attorney's office couldn't get around at the hearing was that the bat was being held upright. the only way you get five wounds with three bullets is that this bullet went in

dylan ratigan. dylan?otting. what is hot spotting and what impact could that have on the creation of jobs here in america? >> hot spotting is really just the simple technique of using discreet data and your ability to observe where and how the actual resource you're trying to allocate is one that was the oldest and best understood, and over allocating to solving the actual problem. 5% of the people in america represent 50% of america's health care cost. so why don't we understand how they are spending their money to drop our health care costs, not by working across the spectrum, but those who spend the most money? >> but that sounds like perfect sense. so why has it taken you, and i'm not undermining your magnificent intellect, but why hasn't this been discussed around the country as an essential action now? >> it's interesting. it has been spread around the country on crime fighting. especially in the major cities. they started to allocate policing, obviously, to overallocate to the areas where crime is o

dylan ratigan is here.g this morning, i believe, on "the today show." watch this. >> people think that money buys making something happen. what the money is buying is making something not happen at a time when we need a lot to happen. >> you have a lot to say, dylan ratigan. >> you have a lot to say, dylan ratigan. explain. >> well, the best illustration of this, the most obvious one is the health care debate in 2009. there's a tremendous amount to discuss. a health care and employer-based health care system that dates to dwight eisenhower. a monopoly organization. a raft of evidence, all these things. the president comes out and says i want to reform health care. only to watch $600 million come from private drug companies, private insurance companies, private hospital companies into washington, d.c., including to the president. and only to watch nearly the president and the congress leave intact the month nopoly, do a back-room deal, and ultimately do little more than reform the health care system beyond g

good day to you, dylan. mitt romney has had a huge lead in the polls here, 25 to 30 points, but the real drama we might find this week might come from newt gingrich. after that speech last night, still shaking my head about it, because it was part concession. it was part i'm coming there to fight with everything i've got. he was very angry about what happened to him in iowa. just a month ago he was on the air saying that he didn't see any way that he couldn't win this nomination, and then just yesterday before the caucuses opened, he was defeated. he was deflated saying there was no way he would win that caucus and, of course, last night when he took to the microphones to address his group of supporters the there, he wanted everyone to know that he was going to continue what he terms as positive campaigning, but that -- that he was going to keep the truth in his -- in his options, that he wanted to go out and tell people about the real mitt romney, wants the mitt romney to run as real mitt romney. the intere

i am dylan ratigan. it is a delight to be seeing you on this the second leg of our 30 million jobs tour. it does mark the beginning of week two. thank you so much for being with us. we've got a tremendous amount to cover in this particular hour including a recap obviously of the president's state of the union address where albeit briefly he addressed the massive housing crisis that is a huge barrier to growth in this country. >> tonight i'm asking my attorney general to create a special unit of federal prosecutors and leading state attorneys general to expand our investigation into the abuse of lending and packaging of risky mortgages that led to the housing crisis. >> right on, mr. president. but it is time for more than rhetoric. and for the millions of struggling homeowners in florida and around the country the president offered this band-aid. >> i'm sending this congress a plan that gives every responsible homeowner the chance to save about $3,000 a year on their mortgage by refinancing at historical

. >> dylan, you're smart with or without. your show starts right now. >> thank you very much. >>> good afternoon. i'm dylan ratigan back in new york for a brief stop along our 30 million jobs tour this year. more on that it later as today's big story is the rumble this evening. mitt versus newt in the nbc news debate in florida. will they discuss jobs? will they discuss money and politics? i can't imagine. while it is the 18th republican debate, this auction cycle, we can expect the gloves to come off tonight. never before have three different candidates won the first three early voting states in a sequence like this leaving no front runner with the first legitimate batch of delegates, florida, up for grabs. newt gingrich fresh off a south carolina win. mitt will release his tax returns tomorrow. he's made a lot of money and not paid everybody enough. also you'll learn about the tax law a little bit. his record at bain capital resulted resurfaced in the sunshine state and gingrich's time taking millions from freddie mac as th

brief us on the legislation you're advocating. >> thank you so much, dylan. thank you for taking on this mission. there's much we can do. the american jobs first initiative, as you said, consists of four bills. in a nutshell, they say that when we're using taxpayer money to build our infrastructure, whether it's our bridges or highways or water or sewer infrastructure, we ought to use american-made steel and manufactured goods. because not only that way do we put people to work building the infrastructure, we also put them to work producing the steel and the iron and those manufactured goods so we get more bang for our buck. the other bill, the foreign manufacturers legal accountability act say when they semithings into our marketplace, we ought to stop them from undercutting us and hold them to the same standards that our guys have to play by. >> the thing that really stunned me when we launched the 30 million jobs tour in california a couple weeks ago and spent a bunch of time around the bay bridge, the choinese won the bidding for the spending of u.s. tax
