i'm dylan ratigan. it's a sligdelight to see you. third week of the tour. we're in the belly of the beast, washington, d.c. one of the more unhealthier places in our country, but probably the most important and in need of our attention and resolution if we're going to have 30 million jobs in this country. they are open to it. just a matter of pointing a way forward. this, of course, the first friday of the month. as we all know, that's the day of the month we get the benefit of the monthly jobs numbers. today that picture got a bit better. stability may be developing around us, which is a welcome development. 243,000 net jobs added last month. that brings then employment r e rate, the trend that that gang is indicating is a modest improvement at 8.3%. that's why we interpret is as stability. it's the lowest reading we have seen in three years. the reason i say not prosperity is because that number is still high and the reason that number is improving is many have fallen out of the labor force, which makes the number get better while many more are underemplo

the mainstream media has been almost entirely silent now i say it again with the exception of dylan ratigan a m s n b c but somehow his colleagues have just left it to him to do on his own it's funny too considering that this is the same mainstream media that will often bring on extremes just to try and prove that they show both sides of every story often in a very misleading fashion but hey two people yelling at each other always makes good t.v. right so why is it now when they have figures and stats to talk about the impact of citizens united do they only talk about the president's capitulation and act like that's just the way that it had to be there is a movement out there public opinion is not in support of the influence of money in our political system we see giving one person insane amounts of power we see transparency completely flying out the window so the people have realized that something is wrong and the mainstream media continues to live in an isolated bubble the only monitor is what's happening at the top echelons they've decided that these are the rules of the game and so tho

i am dylan ratigan. thank you for joining us. today's big story, the arab spring as you read around the world not only in full bloom, but continuing to change and take all sorts of shapes. a year this week since the wave of revolution toppled the egyptian president mubarak, bringing a democracy to egypt but an ongoing of evolution of power in that country. that volatile country remains part of a triple threat, or i should say triple hot spot in the middle east. clashes both diplomatic and murderously violent throughout the region. concentrated currently in syria on the murderous front in iran on the diplomatic escalation front. first, a violent bombardment continues by the assad regime. homs reports on the casualties and those being murdered. msnbc is reporting more than 300 civilians have been killed, but the numbers get bigger fast. >> i'm just asking for help. i don't know how these things work. all we want is help. we don't care how. >> today russia's prime minister traveled to syria in an effort, they say, to urge president

dylan ratigan joins us on his 30 million jobs tour.his college leg of the tour. why and what are you hearing from young people? >> first off, to answer your question in reverse order, the young people of america are the one group who fully understand the power of the network. they understand that modern problem solving is done through the incredible ability to identify unique assets inside of communities whether it's on the -- whether it's through the social network or the community networks that exist in our college systems and they know how to exploit that to solve problems. it's very difficult for them to do that in the context of the onerous student debt which reduces their ability to take risk and their options and their ability to conduct experiments if you will but there is no group of people in this country or around the world than the young people of this country and really the young people of the world, who understand how powerful, how the new capital for all of us is the power of the actual community, the ability to harness

dylan ratigan is host of "the dylan ratigan" show and author of "greedy bastards," how to stop them fromdry." you talk about the jobs crisis, taxes, banking. are you seeing anything from the primary race on the republican side or from the white house that suggests solutions are coming? >> i am not seeing it from washington. i don't think we'll see it from washington. what i am seeing and the reason i have been inspired over the past few weeks and certainly the past few months is you are seeing so many communities in america, carl, that are addressing issues in their own way, in their own world. >> examples? >> austin, texas. invented a lightbulb that's 90% efficient, made in texas, lasts for 30 years. camden, new jersey, dr. jeffrey brenner figured out only 1% of the people there accounted for 30% of the health care costs. he helped them become healthier. also health care collapsed in the community because the people who are the most sick are being addressed. therefore people who do it with crime, education. san francisco figured out people -- you and i learn at different rates of speed.

dylan ratigan is here to take us forward. >> just cleaning up my tie.end. >> the tie looks good though. the road has done no worse. >> you wouldn't know, would you? thank you. we'll begin right now. >>> good monday afternoon. i'm dylan ratigan. back in new york after a couple months on the road. we'll be here for a few weeks to gather ourselves for the spring. today the headline is fuel for the fire. another night of protests in afghanistan. seven days after afghan workers found copies of is

i'm dylan ratigan.or business school, many young americans, that decision is a first step towards a career of investment and entrepreneurship and problem solving and innovation that not only creates jobs, but does so in a way that solves problems. learning a business model, learning how to assess investment risks. those are the things that teach our entrepreneurs how to spot winning ideas and develop them. capitalism as we have always known it. but business school or capitalism has become an art of learning how to maximize profit by minimizing or eliminating risk rather than collaborating and developing solutions. as we saw with the financial crisis and the ongoing nature of our financial systems, this model can be wildly profitable, the model i'm referring to is risk transfer. potentially, catastrophic for everybody else, which leads us to fundamental questions. why do folks go to business school? what's the purpose of our business schools? and how do we bring forward a robust culture of experimentatio

dylan ratigan, some people love me. some hate me. you guys don't have that issue.lefties or righties. you can assume the patriotic position you have earned for yourselves in our country as the proprietors of this ice cream. >> another thing people can do is work in their own municipalities and states. new mexico was now the second state that passed a resolution. there's a resolution proposed in the vermont state senate. we have about 30 towns in vermont that will be voting on a resolution at town meeting day, which is march 6th. we need people in every town and every city to get their local municipalities to get on board. >> and i think there's a tremendous opportunity now with the occupy wall street movement. i think, you know, the people that are interested in that movement, the people involved in that movement all want to get money out of politics. and i think it's that huge, massive, grass roots wave of support that's really going to make it possible to pass the constitutional amendment. >> and don't sell yourself short, dylan. you are on board. you are leading

dylan ratigan is here to take us forward. >>> good afternoon to you. i'm dylan ratigan. you know by now the college edition of our 30 million jobs tour tomorrow. live from the university of kentucky in lexington, kentucky.

eastern time, dylan ratigan wraps up his job tour.g the problems facing the next generation. for college students that means massive debt and these days an uncertain job market. earlier this week the tour stopped in kentucky and also in ohio. today dylan is at the university of chicago. good to see you. >> nice to see you. they're all asking for you. >> i'll be there to visit soon. let me ask you, when we were, we're probably about the same age, out of school and the prospects were tough. people say go into engineering, certain things were foolproof occupation. describe to me what students are saying now. how they feel about this climate despite the numbers? >> when you talk to individual students. this is the inspiring thing about young people in this country, there's almost an uncontainable optimism that exists in the individuals as you talk to them as to what it is that they want to do. what they can think they can do. what they think can be done. it's more a function of how much are we helping to unleash that. it's not a question

i am dylan ratigan. today's big story the middle east on the brink here. the covert war between israel and iran continues to gain heat and traction. lots of fear as to how it will escalate. what might happen. israel blaming iran for a series of bombings aimed at their diplomats abroad. iran saying not only did we not do that but that you, israel, have been assassinating our iranian nuclear scientists for years. so a lot of this going on. just today the iranian regime announced it has successfully loaded uraniuim made fuel rods into an aging u.s. designed nuclear research reactor. that reactor mainly used for medical purposes but the point of the demonstration at least as they articulate it is if we can do it here what is stopping us from loading similar rods into other reactors with a different purpose? other reactors that people are speculating about. this one buried it inside an impenetrable mountain in iran. good to get you nice and scared for sure. iran now says they have fully enriched uraniuim bunker. in fact just this fall the u.n. nuclear watch dog
