he said this in "reason" magazine, a libertarian magazine, you have zero privacy anyway. get over it. that was his quote in 2004. what is -- what is corporate snooping today? >> we don't see what we're doing as snooping. let me give you a couple of examples. when we -- when our members compile a criminal history record of an individual, it's for employment purposes regulared -- regulated under the fair credit reporting act. it's regulated under federal law and bounded by federal law. we like. that i would also tell you another example, credit reports. credit reports vouch for me. i get my loan. i get my student loans. i buy my house. i buy my cars. i live my life here in the united states because a credit report vouches for me even though a lender has never met me before. sometimes i think we don't see the benefit of the information built into the databases. >> let me talk about -- there's a fundamental corporate snooping which is that companies like choicepoint will keep records on us and they won't even let us get access to information about us so we can see if it's acc

don't know if you were able to see the corner but that was put together by our good friends at "reason" magazine and "reason" tv. i want get us in the mood for the discussions that will come, and also, to give us perspective. we like to believe we live in the most interesting of times and dire of times and in some ways things are relative. so it's a useful perspective. with so many issues facing the nation, it may seem frivolous to start this with advertising. but i think it's the perfect starting point. those of us in the beltway, tend to mock 30-second commercials. we read policy papers put out by campaigns and follow every blow in the campaign season, on the trail and on the debate. so it's easy to lose sight of the fact that for most americans, people out in the real world, doing productive actual real work. this is how people learn about candidates. and make their informed decisions bit. it's based on the advertisements that some of us can sort of poo, poo as being superficial, and no doubt that negative advertising is already becoming the disti characteristic of this political cycle. those

hour joining me this evening is our producer jenny churchill and mike riggs associate editor at reason magazine and reason dot com. hey guys we're going. ok we have the spoke about last week or was it earlier this week totally losing it but anyway twitter decided to change its censorship policy and a lot of people were upset about it. it was an important tool in the arab spring uprising now twitter has changed its technology so it can censor messages on a country by country basis. well turns out that somebody is following in their footsteps or maybe not exactly google is now has announced changes to its blogger free blogging platform so they're going to name a blocking in blocking of content only in certain countries where censorship is required and it turns out that they did this like three weeks ago four weeks ago and they just didn't tell anybody until some blogger actually found it in their policy surprise google was being sneaky again i don't know why this sort of seems like the cost of doing business in foreign countries my my outrage is just totally exhausted on all the stuff you know of

and joining me this evening is andrew blake artsy web writer and mike riggs associate editor at reason magazine and reason dot com hello gentlemen thanks for joining me now absolutely before we get sort of at the top you are a bit tell me more about what happened when you went to occupy d.c. to get roughed up yeah a bunch of cops jemimah good jerks oh marable yeah we're having we're happy you're ok. my the camera see the space next there is a next time. my turn here that are only twenty bucks too so it only cost me twenty bucks an hour that's gotten up. that's awful we're out of here ok so you got robbed whatever ok let's talk more about we've been we've been covering the mega upload story here on this show and basically we're still i think waiting for some details about kim dot com to take a look. one of the world's biggest. load as bench dot down prosecutors in virginia charged. in violating piracy law the site was shut down yesterday three employees arrested on accusations they facilitated millions of illegal downloads cost copyright holders of hundred million dollars and. the rights of lett

crew or she strategy officer at fish and strategy thought calm and that welsh and their chief of reason magazine and co-author of the declaration of independence and libertarian politics can fix what's wrong with america ted and i thank you so much for joining in and i want you when they hang over there you can see all those figures i just had to read really hard to back out from under. me let's start i guess if you want one word to describe this budget that the president unveiled today would be fictitious. date i would use dream it is a dream come to fruition ok so you call it a dream you call it the tissues but the republicans out there had another word for it let's take a look at a clip like. this is a this this budget it claims multiple reduction in deficits are real and it's just the plain disappointing. well it's possible to agree with jeff sessions. doesn't feel very good particularly i know i mean he he includes long term cuts. in the deficit based on obamacare that do not pass anybody's smell test that it's oh we're going to have a doc fix sunday so let's book those cuts even though we

with me to discuss the balance of powers, matt welch, editor and chief of "reason" magazine and author of the declaration of independents. hi, matt. i'm so glad you're here to talk with me about this. >> thanks for having me. congrats on the show. >> thank you. this really is for me like a legitimate challenge, a real concern i have about, how do we think about when the state is legitimately using its coercion, its force, power, and when do we want to push it away from us? i think the example i use it, look, when the klu klux klan is using its freedom to lynch, i want the state to intervene. but if the state is racially profiling in black communities i want the state to give me more liberty. where do we find this balance? >> we've been arguing over this in america since the founding, since after the civil war the 14th amendments and the equal protection clause and all this. this is an interesting moment when you are agreeing with newt gingrich it's going to be temporary, right? >> i don't think this is a longstanding agreement with me and the speaker. >> but there's something to that.

sure, there are tiny number of folks around "reason" magazine who are fully consistent with their viewercise of state power but for most of us it's driven by what kind of world we want to see, moral commitments, cultural affiliations, upbringing and personality type. there are all kinds of place where the left wants less government, smaller military, viewer prisons and less onerous intellectual property regime for pharmaceuticals and others want bigger armies and more prisons. the intervention of the state is a means to an end and politics is about those ends. american dominance or american cooperation are w. the world law and order, treatment and rehabilitation. how and why the state can productively intervene in pursuing our ends is often a question of efficacy, cost and benefits. most importantly, who a policy costs and who it benefits. and there is no single piece of domestic policy whose costs seem more obscure to those in power than the war our government has declared on our fellow citizens who use drugs. here's none other than rick santorum in new hampshire just last month being

reasons i think the book is so important that, you know, it's visible and one of the reasons that, you know, the magazine is in print that when someone walks by that magazine, they see it. oh, there's gay troops here. i think that's why outserve is so important right now. we are such a visible organization across the world at these military bases that it's changing people's minds because they see that there's a bunch of us serving right now. and i think in the world that we never came along and created this, i think we would be way further behind than we are right now, the fact that so many service hebbs came out and did things -- service members came out and did things like the book that we progressed, i think, farther than our counterpart overseas because of the leadership people have shown. >> let's get some questions from the audience. is there a microphone to pass around? we're on? please introduce yourself. >> hi, my name is scott. i have two -- well, i have a question about the magazine, actually. um, it's kind of nuts and bolts. i just wondered about the process of actually getting it on the mili

reason for law enforcement to probe this. >> dillan, you have covered scenes like this with star magazine . we have health ledger .g set here in the commercial. you had so many celebrities pass away that had drug use in the background and we are not speckute not saying that had anything to do with whitney houston's passing away. but talk about the celebrity for a second. in terms of the response tipecal because they are celebrities? >> absolutely. but in thentious vent someone dies in mysterous circumstances as whitney houstons had. law enforcement are duty bound to do the investigation and people watching fox news might be circumcent e sect, but whitney houston, her history was doted with history drug use . on the record interviews with people who have been drug dealers to her in the past and saying she was spending thousand a week on the drugs and look at her last international tour. she traveled to australia and actually walked off stage a number of occasions because her body was not up to being able to perform on stage. >> dillan, you were there. can you tell me how long the crime investigators stayed on sight

magazine. >> here is a preview. >> reporter: here is one of the many reasons i admire district commons. during the most recent restaurant week the foggy bottom newcomer let customers choose from nearly the entire menu in the same generous portions it has dished up since opening in october. now, you might know this restaurant. it comes from passion food hospitality. a little empire of dining rooms co-owned by the chef. it includes d.c. coast in washington and passion fish in reston. i love the pretzel loaf. sort of a baguette by way of munich. it costs $2 and comes with a mustard butter you can spread on the warm bread. also keep the company's fish rich portfolio in mind when ordering. except for the limited selections, oysters on the half shell always please me as does the shrimp cocktail with the biting sauce. chowder is crammed with seafood, crab, shrimp, chopped clams, and jolted with chipotle. the pastry kitchen is a take on boston cream pie. sweetened with a filling of custard and finished with a glossy curtain of sauce made with melted fudge. a bit of caramel sauce hit with a spri

so, what i thought would be a magazine article has turned out to be a book. and it became a book for two basic reasons. one reason is, i was amazed, once i started researching the institution of american slavery, what i found out. i was just astounded at all the misconceptions that we have as americans about the institution of slavery and i thought others might be interested in this, as well. the second reason was, i thought it would be a timely work in regard to the nation as it debates the issue of slave reparations. and that really brings us to the second most-asked question of me, why this book now. why are you dredging up things that happened well over 100 years ago. when i started writing the book, it was long before the tragic events of 9-11, it was obviously before the war in afghanistan and the war in iraq. and these events have really taken the slave reparation issue off the front pages of our papers and out of your top of mind awarenein.pite of that, mean the slave reparation issue has gone away. there are those in the united states who strongly advocate slave reparations. evidenced by a nu

reasonable gun control. the assault weapons ban expired. had they not, the magazines with 30 bullets in a clip would have been illegal. what we saw with giffords may not have happened. the president does not escape. there were two bills that were not passed. he brought all the people to the state of the union address, they were all sitting in the balcony, the family of the little girl and the aide that saved gabby giffords life and he did not mention gun control. what are we afraid of? people want reasonable gun control? why are they so afraid? >> gun control laws have been loosened in ohio. people under 18 are not allowed to purchase firearms but no license needed to possess a shot gun or rifle in ohio. in june there was a bill signed into law that allows concealed carried weapons into bars or where alcohol is served. >> we tried to get a bill passed that made it mandatory to report a lost or stolen firearm. you have to report a loft and stolen car. but we could not get it through because our legislature is tear rised by the nra. >> ohio is now considering a bill tha

reason the south lost the war. the negroes revolted and put a stop to it. a reviewer in the virginia magazine of history took um bridge at a similar suggestion. this reviewer willing to concede black people helped the cause of freedom. at what cost, he wrote, not to them, mind you but to slave holders. leaves the plantation this reviewer wrote black people created hardships for white people. they hurt food production and in some cases forced white people to flee. it was not a good find. mcpherson stepped up in the midst of this ahistorical work to tell a story of black people's contributions to the war for freedom. it is worth remembering, therefore, he was there from the beginning of the much debated topic of who freed the slaves. in the 1960s it is worth remembering, too, some of his colleagues placed him like they had dubois, at the most radical edge of the conversation. perhaps it was his decision to publish documents that spoke to black people's views during the war. perhaps it was his discussion in 1964 of how the u.s. congress during the war -- or after the war had backed down from a m

reasons. one was to communicate conservative ideas to a wider audience cannot just intellectuals who read and magazines and watch highbrow shows, and he also did it to extinguish the political career of a rising liberal republican, john wasser. he believed that lindsay was a dashing, hansen, rising star in the republican party. he was a liberal. and he had not endorsed the republican standard bearer of barry goldwater in 1964. there was a battle raging for the heart of the republican party. hands but we hope that by running under a conservative party line he would drain enough republican votes away to defeat him. let me take you back to his first press conference and reuse some excerpts from his first press conference. understand, the conservative party has persuaded buckley to be the standard bearer to run for mayor. they're introducing into the public for the first time. this was of the press conference proceeds, portions of it. do you want to be mayor, sir? i have never considered it. back when you can imagine the conservative party officials standing they're aghast. this is their candid. what is he
