in its own lines of continue to destroy all these countries how do you invest there phyllis please jump in i mean one disaster after another you know i just want to take issue i want to take issue with one important thing that you were talking about c.r. the you cannot look simply at the amount of money available in any country and say that means things are good one of the huge most important reasons for the arab spring that has moved across the arab world on the economic side certainly these were primarily political revolutionary processes focusing on dictatorships but behind that was the whole notion of the inaccessibility the lack of access of ordinary people to the wealth of their country you know you see that when you see people in bahrain. that are rising up you see it in the beginnings of uprisings in saudi arabia in dangerously for the saudi regime in the east where the where the oil and the oil is but but the point is wait wait let me just finish you cannot simply look at how much money they have and assume that people have access to that when you have wealth side by side with

phyllis the girlfriend doesn't show up. she apparently had to work. but southwest georgia male yes does and is now in our house and in hot pursuit of our decoy. >> i didn't get the chance to get a hug? zl have a seat. >> but as the decoy walks behind the curtain, the man sees our camera crew and runs. >> he's coming out. >> and he keeps on running even after sheriff's deputies order him to stop. >> get down! get down on the ground! >> finally an officer's taser knocks him to the ground. after he's arrested, he's taken in for questioning. the man reveals something that ironically no longer surprises us. >> i was a minister at a church. >> what church to you go to? >> baptist church. i don't want to go to prison. >> it also turns out he's married and worried about his wife finding out. >> mr. gary. >> yes? what is it? >> i'm going to lose everything i got. >> do what? >> i'm going to lose everything i have, mr. gary. >> the 35-year-old asks to speak to a lawyer. and the interview is over. he's then taken to the county jail. fingerprinted, photographed,

ok i we tend to agree on lots of things what phyllis is saying it is definitely a war over natural resources frankly to be to be very candid with you there's not much difference between. bush and obama same things going on again we bush went after iraq over oil obama is going after syria over natural gas there's a pipeline in natural gas it's a long story is going over natural gas all of this talk about installing democracy human rights that's a cover larry need cover but people you know know what's happening these days. look frankly i'm appalled by the arrogance of the united states we are a nation that's pretty much back sixteen trillion dollars in debt and we want to dictate to people what to do and how to behave i've yet to see you know i mean i've fully against islamic extremism but there's nothing wrong in the muslim world in a lot of muslims are you know very low or low about being citizens just to give an example the middle east today i'm talking as a businessman here as a capitalist has around fifteen to eighteen trillion dollars in surplus china has around eighteen to twenty dollar
