i mean what kind of legal implications could be at i mean that contract certainly have some kind of loophole in here if they're going to be legal well i think so i mean you're seeing that in terms of consumers and social media now you know when facebook and google everything on to you and i it's our job to police them in other words i don't think that's going to fly in the business world and this is the operational purposes language i think when you can always bust it open with fraud or lack of best practices and i think you know law firms small c.p.a. firms use a pal of these small city states are going to start looking at that as well as the federal government and i think they're going to try to bust these contracts based on a breach of the language you know of them basically saying that operational purposes means we can look at it any way you want and you know there's never any any protection in a contract for your employees going off on a merry lark and delving into private business information of a collapse like that will advocate within the j.p. morgan case i mean they were looking at

well he in some ways he does i mean in a country like pakistan a country i look at a lot he's launched many more drones than bush ever did so and that i'd say that you can make a comparison but i really think that he's not a a so-called neo conservative he may have come across to some as one you know or but he's not he's a he's a realist more than anything else i think he's trying to. he's aware of the fact that there's no desire in the united states among public opinion for wars you know he came in he came to office wanting to get out of iraq and finish things up in afghanistan which is doing not too well in afghanistan and i think you see right now in syria a really big example of many people whether in syria elsewhere in the world who want a more robust u.s. role even some sort of military role in syria but obama is not willing to do that ok because maybe because the u.s. doesn't do it very well george imperial presidency your thoughts please yes i do i . absolutely can consider that it was it's been an imperial presidency under obama i think without question the obama came into pow

three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous i'm glad i got so many i mean. i know that i've seen the teams really messed up. and we're all very sort of personally apologize and. worse for going through the white house or the. radio guy for minestrone. what. we're about to give you never seen anything like this i'm told. what's good folks. this is breaking the set the world is police have arrested a second suspect in connection with the mother's day parade shooting in new orleans seventh ward last weekend doesn't ring a bell maybe it's because the corporate media has largely ignored the event a man was caught on camera shooting indiscriminately into a crowded parade nineteen people were shot including two ten year olds and the shooter was at large for a week so where was the media's round the clock coverage from the scene of the crime where was the police state where was homeland security in the f.b.i. where were the tanks and swat teams keeping people in their homes until they caught the guy oh wait i forgot we're talking about the inner city they don't hav

that mean that what i should be in jail you know i've been reporting on these missile strikes i mean where do we stop where is the line drawn when when journalists can be put in prison i don't believe for a minute it was richard engle who had done that stuff that he'd be rotting in a yemeni prison right now it's because no one cares about. he's not speaking english he's reporting in arabic much of his work no one ever hears about here well especially with things like the n.d.a. in effect that actually does say if you are coordinating with tears if you just are in contact with tears i mean this of course it's a very glaring problem for a journalist such as yourself chris hedges other people who have talked to what this government considers terrorists i mean also obama's war on whistleblowers i mean is this all being done in part to crush this type of investigative journalism well i don't know but it's being done across investigative journalism i think it's being done to it's a chilling message to anyone who works in the national security state that if you expose this stuff if you talk

this is against their interest because they are they're trying to get weapons cases they're also i mean they're also enemies of the united states all right now we go ahead jump in this is crossed on i had it just maybe to take comments about that that. i would say that they arms trade treaty again ones it will come to for us hopefully in the next two years and so we'll have an effect not only to the countries that will sign up to it but also those countries who might choose to opt out just because they as. a historical treaty will start changing the norm of how we see acceptable arms transfers and. thereby also those guys who might not want to join are de facto going to be affected by it as well jeff you want to reply. well you know i think that all these countries of who are who have signed on who are deadly serious have been deadly serious about other things before like palestinian statehood and it's been twenty years they've been thirty years they've been you know deadly serious about that and what's happened you know i think at the bottom line is where there is demand there's going

i mean. i know that i'm sitting seems really messed up. in the old three so actually. the. worst we're going to go live now to the. radio guy and four minutes from the click. i want. to give you never seen anything like this until. they guy is i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set so this past weekend the national rifle association held its annual convention in houston and aside from speeches from politicians like sarah palin and rick perry there were some stirring items for sale one of which was an ex-girlfriend target that believes when you shoot it check out the before and after images to see just how realistic this target looks frankly it's disgusting especially in a world where women are all too often the victims of domestic disputes in fact in two thousand and twelve one six homicide victims were women and sixty eight percent of those victims were of domestic violence or to violence policy center it's a serious problem an epidemic even but it turned the n.r.a. vendors think it's cute to sell the believing dead ex-girlfriend target the gun toting americans maybe

you could koch brothers front groups was really involved and the glenn beck i mean we don't really have a glenn back for occupy wall street on mainstream media do we. give it any way i think it was coopted i think both both but i guess the movement had to really understand how did you feel when the message of the movement was that was generated by ron paul in this following it was co-opted and kind of the messages they looted and kind of lost sight on those unifying factor is a lot of people who are attracted to it well you know what god lost in this kind of the republican party to the republican party i believe lost because of their social conservative agenda and i think bottom line that is why they lost marriage equality immigration. woman's right to choose i think those issues really did in the republican party and the republican and by the way for anybody that's a social conservative lead your life by example that's how you change others but if you want to make that government policy i think what you end up is you end up criminalizing activity that otherwise wouldn't be criminalized

i mean really so kevin's back out that's just my rant kevin let's talk about the question i initially asked you before you got dropped off i mean how are you sorting this through all of this misinformation the speculation that's insatiable ism and the disinformation. well the quick answer is that you have to ask questions and just do your job as a journalist recognize that all of these media organizations have their own sources within governments that they're contacting and they're getting tips and they may be confirmed or unconfirmed and you just have to be responsible and continue to ask questions based on what you know historically about counterterrorism and the way that the government handles these sorts of situations and where i was bringing up before was that you know it seems like we saw this kind of intelligence failure leading up to nine eleven and we see kind of the same thing being mimicked a decade plus later after pouring hundreds of billion dollars into a giant circus security surveillance police state what is it all for kevin i marry really doing this to fight terrorism

i mean, she went her way. i went my way. i'm looking at death penalty. you know what i mean? but i'm -- i have good memories with her. >> during hour final days of shooting at maricopa, rosie travino continued to prove unpredictable. after a difficult court hearing concerning her murder case, she attempted suicide. though it was quickly thwarted by jail staff. >> i was kind of shocked because she was actually a pretty happy person. she seemed really comfortable in her environment. she seemed to have built a really strong relationship with the three other females in her pod. >> then just days later, travino and her lawyer reached a plea bargain which spared her the death penalty. she was sentenced to 18 years in the arizona state prison system. >>> coming up -- >> i stabbed him in his lungs and his kidneys. and he basically drowned in his own blood. >> in prison for manslaughter, one inmate's past can come back to haunt him. >> before i was an inmate, you know, i was a correctional officer here at this facility. >>> in prison, we often find unusual stories can be found in the m

well beyond that i mean imagine if you will i mean berkshire hathaway was downgraded today imagine if these guys you know what these terminals was were accessing information prior to the downgrade or all the machinations and issues going on afterward and then details of buffett's. plans for succession i mean you see the implications of this i mean they have basically an eye or a bug in any of these terminals are we seeing any clients speak out about this well you know i mean well there's citibank obviously bank of bank of england you know which is a big deal j.p. morgan i mean that's going to have a ripple effect now you have treasury sitting there asking what is going on with this you know because people who write notes that are in a fairly protected by their their strength in numbers or you know this is this implicates law firms small c.p.a. firms that have at least some of the the depth of the money to get a terminal i mean that's a big deal that's a big feather in your cap well now it's being looked at as not only a security breach but money are you really you would want to spend

i mean there's you know. there are two sides to every story and part one side triangle one side of the triangle is yeah city citibank all these people are actually going to try to do a lot of this stuff in house they don't want to rely on a bloomberg or a reed elsevier that owns lexis nexis successor etc so there is that aspect of it but i think the you know goldman sachs has been adept since they rule the world. basically soft peddling bad news man tires yeah they're soft pedal bad news very well and that you know i'm not going to say they're in bed with with bloomberg and they're not but i mean i think that they haven't they now i don't think they're in bed with bloomberg i'm saying bloomberg have thirty percent share of the financial data out reich it is going trying to take that this while go they want to become even bigger they have already made so i mean if you can you you know look if if a year from now. they have sold bloomberg is no longer exists that is. good in the area of goldman sachs then well n

it's i mean people have been questioning driving it i mean i have an eleven year old i'm thinking oh my gosh in five years he's going to be able to drive i mean it just seems you know you know so you could say that perhaps or to re-evaluate what their real loud kids are drive at sixteen you know and but listen i'm not going to say that if you have a driver's license and you are able to drive a car that you're not able to vote and this is on city elections and it's a small town so it's easy for you know what's going on i think it's great to be civic minded but now could this happen in alexander virginia where i live where it's a bit more complicated the issue is i don't know but as far as local control goes i mean i think this is a great example of that happening and if you have a liberal city too i agree well you know my take on it is that i remember the old song during the vietnam war the eve of destruction and there's a line of this is you know you're old enough to kill but not for voting very required of the song and seventeen i believe is the age at which you can join the militar

things are i mean that's the do all i do. which a trip through time today on prime interest the big banks try to remind us of. the harmonious days when they were safe and too big to care and look at a few new rules at fannie and freddie that might just pretend the next housing collapse the new york fed traveled back eighty years to channel irving fisher let's just make sure stocks remain cheap ok templi then we talk with jaron lanier who lie in dust of the future of social media monetization and we profiled mel watt who we predict will one day learn the definition of a derivative finally history repeating itself with the independent foreclosure review as a second round of bad checks and an already bad settlement made their way to insult foreclosure victims thanks for watching and make sure you come back tomorrow make sure you follow us on facebook at facebook dot com slash time interest from all of us here at prime and just have a great. technology innovation all the developments around. the future covered. if you live on one

it's amazing to see the corporate media kind of all up in arms i mean yeah of course you don't care until it happens to you it's not a whole phrase you know first they came for the socialists i didn't speak up it's like well now they're coming for you you know it is about time you've come on board welcome to the welcome to the club and you know chris hedges had this to say about it recently is that all these measures to shut down the freedom of information are symptomatic of a reconfiguration of our society and to and to and to tell of terri and security and surveillance state one where anyone who challenges the official narrative is going to be ruthlessly silenced i mean i thought that was really poignant how much of a chilling effect is this going to cause for reporters and sources if they think they're going to go to jail now for simply doing their job. it has a huge chilling effect because now every journalist out there knows that this is happening and so the next time they get launch with a government official they're going to think twice before pressing them for any kind of imp

three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous i had lunch i got so many i mean the town i know that i'm still really messed up. in the old story so personally i believe that's. the worst you are going through the white house or the. radio guy and four minutes from that. what we're about to do never seen anything like this until. how do you folks i'm at a martin and this is breaking this sex wal-mart stores have pleaded guilty this week on federal charges of violating the clean water act in california and waste management missouri company raked in one hundred twenty eight billion dollars in revenue last year were they not a grand sum of one hundred ten million dollars as punishment yeah that to teach them a lesson you guys we're talking about the largest retailer in the world i think most definitely afford to feel some pain for the damages they inflict perhaps no one knows this better than the company's own employees save the retail giant is infamous for not paying overtime or benefits to its associates so now the workers are doing something about it poison miami

a difference i mean do you recommend a complete overhaul ideally. what i think we have to be jazz like then the dead. know you have to be flexible and fluid you have to fight on the outside bring pressure to bear do you have to fight with some progressive inside as evan soul is sold and so thoroughly co-opted by position and wealth and put and power that they no longer want to tell the truth there are some bernie sanders and others on the inside who want to tell the truth about corporate power we need organizations movements on the outside bring in pressure to bear in the end we do need a fundamental transformation is no there's no doubt about that but we've got a long way to go in that regard the first moment is one of social. motions and then you've got social momentum and we can generate social movements then we've got something absolutely i can't see lobbyists stopping driving on the hill any time soon i definitely agree that we do need a fundamental transition and overhaul of the current system that we have dr cornel west activist author profess

chris jumping go ahead what exactly are we going to do i mean i mean what we're talking about beyond assad i think it's already been written how exactly do we do that because i'll tell you what i mean is that he said on air recently that is military is quite capable of pushing the rebels back. crystal we do air as i said and that was going to grant spencer isn't it gentlemen let's go let's go to places like this go ahead insurgencies like this you know last for decades there's no way that assad assad could potentially hold on to power for a number of years you know if the international community continues not to take any kind of action but in the end he's going to go and the question is what's going to happen then i agree with you about that and the reality is that we need to do everything we can to protect all sides including the alawite it's in syria from some kind of a major slaughter and that's going to require a lot more international cooperation including between russia the united states and nato and our partners in the region that we're getting right now. not only the other whi

i mean. i know that i'm still really messed up. in the old story so closely. the. worst year for the little. white house to give it to a radio guy in fort lauderdale minestrone. what clothes were obliged to give you never seen anything like this i'm telling. you. what i mean martin well guys we've got a packed show for you today.

i mean i just don't have enough knowledge in this area. but will he understand enough to oversee the banks that are ensure growth to the securitization process as nomination moves forward the question is whether he will be able to leave his financial conflicts of interest behind and provide effective stewardship of fannie and freddie and this is the profile of now what president obama's nominee for the federal housing finance agency. and it's time for our daily duel yes it is once again thanks for joining me thank you for having me shall we begin yes here we go now one of the largest nationwide homebuilders which is told rather has just raised one hundred million dollars by issuing ten year notes and we've also seen a few recent i have heroes of housing based companies including century communities in colorado which also raised two hundred forty one million dollars now that housing sector really seems to be taking on this it's taking off but let's see what these guys have been doing before because one of the interesting things about the to

i mean. i know that i've seen the same thing really messed up. and we're all very so personally apologize and. worse you're going to pay the white house or the. radio guy for sale minutes from the click. click we're about to give you've never seen anything like this i'm telling. you. what's going on i've got a martin and this is breaking the sat so you get the hunger strike going on where over one hundred prisoners are starving themselves to death sent a message to the world well obama's been gravely silent about this new development up until now yesterday during a press conference one reporter pushed the present on the issue he loves to avoid the most. for the problems where there are growing. right one potable. is any surprise really good work for good for the. inside of their confinement i've asked my team to review everything that's currently being done in guantanamo everything that we can do administratively and i'm going to reengage with congress to try to make the case that this is not something that's in the best interest of the american

i mean i don't understand how you can say people aren't allowed to participate i mean look this was this was all born out of a paper that was written in two thousand and eight and in the paper great paper but to implement something like that it was not going to have i'm quite right i think the whole thing is kind of silly but it's working in me and it's one of those people ok not just hang on to me or let me take my point of miami for can't participate but it does tell me what you mean by that because that's a lie and you know that's a lie there are companies like monopoly coming like these are pay pal and they are they are censoring the internet they are present they're preventing people from from being out of business over the internet what about sanctions sanctions countries like iran north korea how are you trying to do your writing european money if you think. he's not participate in the cottage because because all these companies in new york to say that he then what america please reply ok go ahead. ok so meir in order to have a good conversation you got to let me speak ok go ahead

by the you know i do believe i do believe that well let's talk about the free market i mean would you support legislation like reinstating legislation like glass steagall and if not how do you prevent monopolies from forming or do you think that's all about i do think about those things and i think glass steagall would be something you know looking at it. it seems like a commonsense thing to do but i will tell you that even the most common sense solutions end up having unintended consequences and now i'm talking about. the fact that mark to market accounting was was brought about. and i'm forgetting i'm forgetting the piece of legislation. but as a result of enron mark to market accounting was legislation that passed that seemed like the most practical thing in the world to do and yet that was a direct contributor to the collapse in two thousand and eight because of. because of securities having to be marked at five cents on the dollar because there was one trade at the end of december for hundreds of thousands of dollars in a multi-trillion dollar market for five cents on the dollar

i mean if. you live hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous bad luck. i mean. i know that i'm still looking for a really messed up. in the old story so personally apologize if that. worst church was. white house or the. radio guy for a minute for a quick. quote for about fifteen years you've never seen anything like this i'm telling. you. what's going on i've got a martin and this is breaking the sat so you get the hunger strike going on where over one hundred prisoners are starving themselves to death to send a message to the world well obama has been gravely silent about this new development up until now yesterday during a press conference one reporter present on the issue you know loves to avoid the most. of the problems where there's a growing. right it's one potable. it is any surprise really good for good for others. when the inside of their confinement i've asked my team to review everything that's currently being done in guantanamo everyth

i mean i am and i know that i'm still really messed up. in the old story so actually. it's. worse for the little thing going right out to the. radio guy for a minute. what. did you never seen anything like. what is up i'm abby martin and this is a break in the set so a heinous attack took place in south london yesterday in which two men ran over and subsequently beheaded a young british soldier with a cleaver in the midst of the crime one of the attackers approached a camera recording the incident and told onlookers he was doing this is a vengeance for the muslims who are dying daily around the world while this act of been widely condemned the u.k. a member of parliament george galloway urges us to understand this incident the scope of western foreign policy which he says plays a part in radicalizing people all over the world pulled this story seems to give you the major play in the corporate media another story into a following completely off the radar earlier this month another man not far from london to name a home and salim was stabbed three times on his way home from pr

i mean we're not doing... we're not asked to do everything we do because we know the people in question. this was a stranger that was the idea in the parable. i think young people in the united states are well advised to remember that. i think a lot of them are interested. >> charlie: is there an increasing sense of commitment to give back, to make a dierenceto lead a life that is notecessarily about commerce? >> i think there is. i mean, you know, if you look inside my arena, medicine, it's quite clear to me that compared to 30 years ago when i began my medical studies at harvard, again i've always stayed at that institution and so i know it best. each year there seems to be more and more students interested in health disparities, interested in health protection, interested in integrating protection and care. and interested in the problems of people living in poverty an facing ilhealth. th's growing. i see it outside of the medical school classroom as well. i see it everywhere. >> charlie: i want to come to he

system of control and of course today the media is talking about these three new suspects arrested i mean everywhere i look all this projection all the speculation is it unfair to be covering these kids on the news all day without really knowing any evidence about their involvement or what really happened there seems like they're just kind of character assassination of these kids. we do have to be responsible and it's clear that they are only accused of obstructing justice right now and hopefully i'm not watching c.n.n. at the moment someone could be blaming them for being involved in the bombing but that's you know the defense lawyer doesn't think they had anything to do with that so this is a separate charge i think what we really need here is transparency and the obama administration has been more secretive than the bush administration about a lot of these so-called global war on terrorism policies and and what we're seeing in these instances where individuals do commit attacks is that as private citizens who are astute and aware and are able to prevent those individuals from doing inc

i mean you said that you don't really know the justification for which but i mean your organization has petitioned the department homeland security to urge these prisoners through or the i'm sorry these three men to testify on u.s. soil can you explain any sort of hold up of what exactly happened there what we're we're not clear exactly what hold and that's what we're trying to get from the department of homeland security as it's what's the reasons these individuals were not allowed in and are not permitted and foreign aliens are allowed a recourse they're allowed to bring suits in court in under alien tort claims act but setting the precedent where you don't allow these individuals in is a dangerous precedent for this country just said so a partition of the part of homeland security to allow these individuals in so they can have their day in court and present their story the center for constitutional rights and other organizations another handful of attorneys have put a lot of effort into these cases nearly a decade's worth of work and we want to see that commence we want to see th

again it's kind of a growth deficit it's we're not in negative territory here i mean some of the people are talking today about a recession it's not a recession and if anything i expect the economy to pick up in terms of growth rates later on in the course of the year i think the issue right now for russia is to switch gears to some degree to have more of the growth take place not so much to consumption consumption is doing relatively well but more through investment russia after saving it's all windfall for so long has to finally fathom and learned how to invest this is really interesting is i think a lot of people forget the one nine hundred ninety s. and i think that explains the government today when they were broke yes debt yes and housing asking for that forgiveness remember that was the time when constantly there was this expectation and then two thousand two thousand and one completely changes the paradigm and starts to prepay external debt so there was a lot of that is one of the best solvent balance sheets in the world and you're saying you have to use it better they. better e

musical patterns you know i mean when. thing is in my work in computer science it's really been interested in user interface when ever i look at trying to do better user interfaces i always look to musical instruments and they're the best ones ever made so it kind of gives me a sense of humility about how little we've done so far and how far we have to go to have perfect pitch no i mean actually you know it's true it's funny if we don't think about it i do but if i think about it i don't so it's one of those things that's kind of on the edge for me i don't necessarily want it i don't want to be skilled as a musician i want to be sort of intuitive and it's a different kind of goal do you hear or see you know. if you go. see color is there anything in this you know a little bit i'm really interested in it virtual reality is all about exploiting synesthesia isn't studying the set out on your point of virtual reality now we know how the virtues fear. your kind of it's like the star star star trak holiday you know we've all seen

no not at all i mean that's a no no of course not. and that's that's another big reason why i don't expect to see any any moves out of congress and maybe obama will sign it but in the end you know the wait there may be one hundred fifty five countries but the weight behind arms exports is way heavier than those countries and to include russia and other other major powers so you know i don't i don't see. really again i just don't see any any changes occurring and if they do if there are new laws then these companies and these countries will just circumvent them somehow you know i mean if you have to go covert then you have to go over again and seen that in the past. so i mean i know in ninety nine c. in the end it was not a sort of entreaty it would have been impossible and now we are here we actually have a treaty how many people believe that that would have been possible in ten years and now do we have a lot of people who still think it's just law ok possible it's still just talk. well it's not it is it's real all right and it's easy

well he in some ways he does i mean in a country like pakistan a country i look at a lot he's launched many more drones than bush ever did so and that i'd say that you can make a comparison but i really think that he's not a a so-called neo conservative he may have come across to some as one you know or but he's not he's a he's a realist more than anything else i think he's trying to. he's aware of the fact that there's no desire in the united states among public opinion for wars you know he came in he came to office wanting to get out of iraq and finish things up in afghanistan which is doing not too well in afghanistan and i think you see right now in syria a really big example of many people whether in syria elsewhere in the world who want a more robust u.s. role even some sort of military role in syria but obama is not willing to do that ok because maybe because the u.s. doesn't do it very well george imperial presidency your thoughts ways yes i do i. absolutely can consider that it was it's been an imperial presidency under obama i think without question the obama came into power

and it seems very frequently right just i want to take this conversation actually globally because i mean as an advocate for pregnant women i think it's always interesting to look at the global spectrum considering how france just acted a lot to reimburse women one hundred percent not only for contraception but also for abortions what factors you think attribute to this a menorah miss dichotomy between the laws being not going to here in the u.s. as opposed to these progressive mandates across europe. that's a good question and it's one that i often ask myself and i you know i think that there are definite political differences and right now we're in a climate where any sort of progress on issues related to women's help is needed by a congress that can't seem to agree on very much unfortunately apart from using women's reproductive rights as a political bargaining tokens right it's always kind of use that wedge issue to gain traction politically really unfortunate as you're throwing people on the bus constantly but one more global comparison here i can't help but pull up the start showing

i mean. i know that i've seen the scenery really messed up. and we're all very so closely. of. the worst shurtleff a long flight out superman to a radio guy in fort lauderdale minutes from a quick profit i want you to watch closely to do because you've never seen anything like this i'm told. it. was up guys i'm having martin break in the set so it's no surprise.
