americans rights that they hold dear dear earlier i spoke with jacob sullum senior editor of reason magazine here's what he had to say. well i think the government's position is that there's no reasonable expectation of privacy and so there is no constitutional issue when you look at what these systems actually do when they bring together in addition chicago ten thousand cameras and they're quite sophisticated and they have the ability to recognize stations and to track people from one camera to another what that means is they can actually figure out where you're going all day long. and that would reveal a lot about your personal life even if it is all of the topic and i think it raises issues that are quite similar to those raised by g.p.s. systems this is a constitutional issue with the federal bills courts are considering now and they're divided on the question of whether it's ok to track a person's car as it goes from one public place to another you know throughout the course of a week or two weeks without a word is back in just a moment are worth that or not and the courts have come dow

it from the obama administration here this past this with me is my creates a socio editor at reason magazine mike thanks so much for joining us and i think you. like i said right this is all happening right across our border forty thousand people dying this is a massive violent drug war that the u.s. government is even issued warnings lately to u.s. citizens that we could be targets there abroad travel warnings but have they even given a reaction to the protests of thousands of people so far i think if they can avoid doing so they will i mean they waited a long time to comment on some of the arab spring uprisings but really this is like pre-surgery iraq for the obama administration i mean leading up to the surge in iraq i mean it was just a disaster for bush they didn't want to talk about huge numbers it's the same thing for the obama administration right now this is as bad as i make it worse it is really terrible but what is their reaction also supposed to be like if we look at some of the history perhaps between president obama and calderon we know that president obama had to take back a r

now as brian already he's a senior editor at reason magazine brian thanks so much for being with us now i mean the first glaring difference between now ron paul announcing and three years ago is the difference in and media attention i mean this was big news it was all over the mainstream media today and three years ago it seemed that there were only a you know a few places you can see ron paul one with this channel right here i do have to toot our own horn those giving ron paul attention so what do you think has really changed that now people are looking at ron paul you know seriously and getting a lot of attention. i think what's changed is that a lot of ideas that ron paul has that people considered wildly eccentric or crazy four years ago are now widely seen to actually be correct ron paul was the guy out there saying that the federal reserve policy was creating an unsustainable bubble that was going to lead to a financial crisis and it did the housing bubble burst the dollar continues to sink and world markets his fears of a complete dollar collapse now seem actually realistic he wa

happy hour on this level evening and joining me tonight is catherine manga word senior editor of reason magazine and reason dot com and our team producer lucy calf now ok i got a really good job for you guys if colonel do if you barr and mohammed ali went to dinner together what would they be called in tennessee. and i guess and i guess and again not then i would go with. are you going to go on you know we've always talked about this on our show before that tennessee is joining the list of other states out there like oklahoma the want to legislate on non issues which is creeping shari'a law but now it turns out that if you look at some of the deeper language here you basically can be considered a sharia law is a shoe in if there are two or more people involved so if you want to start some kind of a supper club or a charity now you're the devil and that's illegal and you won't like what the hell can lie and let's keep in mind that practicing shari'a isn't necessarily some sort of organization or a law that's just being a good muslim that's like saying you know christians i don't know but i'm not

would obama have ever even planned it to be you and me to discuss it is jacob sullum senior other reason magazine and reason dot com take a thanks so much for joining us tonight first starters let's just let's start with the fact that the story keeps changing all the time right i mean this is something that's come that's very typical of government and i guess in some respects you could have expected the story to change but if we know that obama had found out about this compound last august you thought that there would have been some type of a contingency plan that they would have started mapping this out that he would at least have sat down with the people in his administration to make sure that everybody has the same story so what do you think is going on. well i'll give you credit for being genuinely confuse making making honest mistakes i think one of the important questions is whether they try to do this legally. but according to their view anybody who's a member of al qaeda. is a legitimate military target and only combatant and that means that they can be killed that well. just based on the

class and save the american dream also in los angeles i'm joined by tim cavanagh columnist for reason magazine and reason dot com gentlemen thank you so much for being with us you know this is supposed to be the first major debate the first time top republican contenders would square off on stage before a national audience but lots of big names missing what why do you think that was right on. well i think that it's so early and there was a sense that if mitt romney is not going to be there then for example mike huckabee might not be inclined to be there there are a lot of people were still weighing whether or not they intend to run for president at all including indiana governor mitch daniels so there are still a lot of uncertainty in the air so that they can get this debate matter yet the idea that this debate didn't matter and that somehow this. somebody is in position to unilaterally declare this the b. team is to use to favorite word preposterous and this was obviously an interesting debate and a matter for the first time and you know there are some of us who will not forget this that the

i guess prices joining me now to offer is take is ron bailey's science correspondent with the reason magazine ron welcome booo to be with you thank you for joining us ron goldman sachs analysts released a report last month saying quote the unfolding events in north africa in the middle east have pushed up the price of brant crude oil is high price levels invite comparison in the spring of two thousand and eight when crude oil prices first breached these levels and maybe for peaking by early july we believe there are fundamental differences between now in the spring of two thousand and eight the image tori's and spare capacity are much higher now and that speculative positions are four times as high as they were in june of two thousand and eight did these just guys just confirm that these jacking up the prices we're seeing is because they're gaming the system. well of course people who are speculating are also people who are investing people's money in things like pension funds and hedge funds american underfunding so yes they can ration is probably part of this there's also a risk premium of

hell bent on keeping the status quo here discuss it with me is my creates associate editor at reason magazine my thanks so much for being here and i think you know like i said ron paul he's been preaching about the same stuff for the last thirty years or so those years on capitol hill and nobody really listen for a while he was always the outsider but he said today when he was announcing that he was running again that he feels the timing is right this time around what do you say yeah i mean we're in the middle of a crisis and the ideas that he's always been talking about the haven't had the same urgency you know all the sudden don't sound so irrational i mean the idea of reining in federal spending in a big way reforming entitlements and the wars that have cost us over a trillion dollars in the last ten years all that stuff suddenly sounds less radical more common sense i think i mean unfortunately does it always have to take something of this proportion you know a financial crisis of this magnitude nonstop wars the longest war in american history to get people to actually start looking at ot
