were to speak to joe weisenthal from the business insider we're also going to speak to davida gardens to ross about his new book bin laden's legacy he's going to tell us why he thinks that we're still losing the war on terror you can have all of that and more for you tonight including a dose of happy hour but first let's take a look at what the mainstream media has decided. i think that we're all aware that there isn't anything but the mainstream media loves more than a little trash talking and only doing it on their own although there is plenty of that going on to i me that they just love it when somebody says something that isn't your usual boring political rhetoric maybe they call someone a bad name throw in a cuss word or two those are the times when suddenly the mainstream media thinks that a serious discussion is warranted now unfortunately we're witnessing this very thing happen right now after a statement a jimmy hoffa jr made at a labor day rally in detroit. let's take the shot of the bridges and give them their cars well not surprisingly the tea party isn't really happy with

be much more cohesion and that was business insider deputy editor joe weisenthal. well today we're talking to g.o.p. presidential candidate buddy roemer and if you're not familiar with him i could be because the mainstream media doesn't send a camera crew every time he makes a speech or releases a report it could be because his fund raising efforts are coming a little slower than others or it could be because he's one candidate one of the most powerful entities in this country i hope you never hear about or vote for buddy roemer is a four term congressman former governor of louisiana and he joins us now from our studio in new york hey there by thanks so much for coming on today i want to start out with one idea that at the core of your campaign i know your campaign motto is free to lead and you speak a lot about the major need for campaign finance reform the reforms that connect the dots for me here well i'm the only person running for president of the united states who's been both a congressman and the governor. so i've seen politics at the bottom and at the top a

it comes to the economy is it going to work here to discuss it from our studio in new york is joe weisenthal deputy editor of the business insider joe i want to thank you for joining us tonight for starters you tell me if i did an ok job when it came to explaining what operation twist is anything that you want to add to my mission origination. you explained it exactly right the fed isn't changing the size of its balance sheet is changing the company composition as you said selling short and treasury bonds buying into long and and hoping to push down interest rates and you've got the history right exactly it was first done under the kennedy administration so you explained it perfectly happy to hear that but ok so what hopefully what they're you know what they're hoping will happen here is that maybe people be able to refinance their mortgages if these long term interest rates go down but when it comes to other investors they think that they might actually ditch the government bonds they might go for some riskier assets. that is exactly the idea i mean one is the idea if you make bonds less an

all these factors impact the financial future well i want to ask business insider deputy editor joe weisenthal he is in our new york studio and joe let's talk about all these things i guess we can start here in the u.s. today we saw stocks i think a similar story around the world all this coming off this depressing jobs report i mentioned i guess i want to get your economic forecast well i certainly it's hard to visit vision anything that's too strong obviously due to the sovereign debt issues in europe there doesn't seem to be any hope of a robust recovery there and in the us. what's going on in europe and also the slowdown in government spending clearly our growth is limited i'm not as negative as some i actually think there are some positive things that people are annoying people are ignoring sorry credit conditions are coming back a little bit housing seems to have bottomed and maybe is turning but overall it's very hard to imagine anything but very mediocre growth at best you mention the the housing. let me ask you just real quick i know that that the u.s. has announced it's going to take

athens admitted it won't be able to meet its deficit reduction deadlines but journalist whoa joe weisenthal excuse me these economic woes the eurozone are doing . the euro does not work it's not a current it's not a temporary crisis there is a temporary crisis but it is not just that it doesn't make sense every country in the euro would now have been better off never having joined in the first place and everyone is getting hurt by this makes no sense for these countries with such disparate economies to have one currency and one you know one central bank the block has to be much more cohesive in terms of the types of economies that are left in that to basically get rid of you know maybe spain and portugal and italy. but the problem there is that there was huge economic cost to leaving the euro if a country were to decide to it's just not clear how any country greece would do it they had to g.d.p. would be enormous so there is no good option really. things are a little better across in spain with protesters are flooding the capitol after its parliament to pressure voted to amend the constitut

in the way and what the chances are about fun is even going to be enough the business insiders joe weisenthal will hash it out with us or have all that and lucky tonight putting a dose of happy hour but first let's take a look at the mainstream media has decided to miss. wasn't sure you've heard by now this morning the reports came in that u.s. born muslim cleric anwar locky had been killed in gannett as was the first attempt on his life by the us but i guess this time the cia and special ops forces had enough intelligence to make sure of the drone hit the right target so the mainstream media obviously very dutifully reported the news as another big victory in our war on terror to take a very careful look to see what's missing from their coverage. one of all kind as top recruiters who once preached in a mosque in virginia and california he was called the internet bin ladin because of his skills of recruiting terrorists online was two of the world's most wanted terrorists are dad. who was killed by a missile from a u.s. drone he was considered one of the biggest terrorist threats to u.s. homel
