as well the most unequal states like louisiana alabama and mississippi are also the most violent not coincidentally those states have some of the loose gun laws in the country sensible restrictions on firearm purchases are a no brainer and sore economic policies that create well pain jobs and sustainable incomes if we want gun laws that protect the general welfare to quote the constitution of the people and we need a well regulated economy that provides opportunity for all they're going to talk about preventing gun crime we should talk about fixing the wealth gap in america as well because the science is undeniable inequality combined with easy access to firearms is a recipe for a violent society. for more on this i'm joined by neil cave editor of guns and patriots newsletter fresh back from the n.r.a. can i was a nice set of you know my view is a no brainer and here man with no brain to argue with me if it came off sounding like that my apologies certainly wasn't intended that way. it was a great time in houston i have great respect for your ana like you know they got to take a look

we're talking about unequal warfare here. >> i think what's so interesting about the article and i would tell people to definitely check it out. we talk about campaign finance as part of the problem. obviously we are highlighting this moment of nexus of money and influence. but the inequity is so massive that that outmatched sense that you get in the lobbying on congress then carries over to things that happen in the regulatory facet and in the courts as well. >> i wanted to find the one regulatory agency where someone was really trying. gary gentz, so the cftc, they're right at the center of this, they're derivatives control. what's he able to do? he said i want to have an open door. anybody who wants to come in and talk about derivative reform can come and see me. and what happens? goldman, sachs. >> you know who -- >> they have a staff of 12 from new york who can fly down and u.s. perg has two meetings over a three-year period. >> gary rivlin, great piece. thank you very much. >> thank you, chris. >>> up next, a truly insane build introduced in congress that the "all in" staff serious

an act that addresses the persistent problem of unequal pay in our economy and would help to make the bill before us a real boom for workers and families. today women are now half of the nation's work force. they are still only being paid 77 cents on the dollar as compared to men. and this holds true across all occupations and education levels. and for women of color, such disparates are even worse. let's take this body. u.s. congress, the house of representatives, we come from all over the country. we have different educational backgrounds. we have different skill sets and different philosophies, and yet while we are all men and women here, we get paid the same amount of money. that is not true for most women in the united states of america. the only other institution in which there is same job, same pay, men and women, is in the u.s. military. less pay for women means less pay for the entire family. at a time when millions are struggling to enter the middle class to give their children a chance at a better life to achieve the american dream. that's what paycheck fairness is all abou

they forced the law unequally, which is not to say that they did because people in porsche's or mustang'stes morally get picked up for speeding more, that doos not mean that they were not speedin it means that there were targeted as a rational basis fo the enforcement if. discrimination is their first a member ideas. if that was the reason comes to this investigaon and targeting of these groups. is not constitutional. dennis: you see this as part of the perial bureaucracy, kind of stepping passed wha congress wanted enduing matters into their own hands. >> tha is not right. the security the bureaucracy is not a bad thing and the reason is because it is such a complex system to 11, everythin from space, communications, it is all regulated. there is no guideboo to this maze. dennis: you're saying the regulators are the ones that deci? >> they know better than congress. congress runs at least the people who wor within the government, the regulatory agencies have an idea, and the fa that they go back and forth to instry means that industry can sit there ago, reasonable certainty, we know how

in such a way that it would be on the floor of the senate saying to 46 states you will be treated unequally and you will get a better deal here. i just cannot imagine that was the case. this was important. if you vote to support the amendment, i can almost guarantee you you are voting to benefit your state in the program dollars that will come as a result of the amendment to your state. this is a common-sense amendment. it is not aimed at beneficiaries and a fair way of allocating very precious dollars and a fair way to all 50 states instead of allocating the money to just four states. strongly oppose this amendment on a few crowns. first of all, the straight up cuts in the program is a mistake. at the end of the day we're spending $100 billion per year on obesity and 5 billion on cardiovascular and heart disease. unfortunately we have a growing childhood obesity program in this country. when our children go to school obese one of the challenges is they do not sleep well, sleep apnea and score lower on math d ecause of lack of sleep or lack of self-esteem because they are made fun of. there

settings are a little too loose and you are not prepared for speed or your weight is distributed unequally. in this case, the rope pulled me forward and off of my axis, and somewhat off balance, so when i hit the ramp i was still in get rid of speed wobble road then fly off a bridge mode and i was pretty much out of control when i hit the ramp so there was no chance that i would have done what i expected to do. >> the flip he does as he launches off the bridge, not grandstanding, he says. >> the flip was not part of the plan. i just wanted to launch off the ramp and have a nice view, hang out with the birds and just do a nice big air right into the water and then get rid of my board at the last second. because of the speed wobbles, i was leaning too far back when i hit the ramp. i was probably still going a little too fast and i just got ejected and ragdolled and then i just held on for the ride. as i'm flying through the air, i was mostly thinking, safe landing, like hit the water safely. i did a belly flop. >> it is not exactly the graceful landing he is hoping for. >> when i hit the wat

such a way that would be on the floor of the senate, saying to 46 states -- you will be treated unequally, and thing 24 states that she will get a better deal here. i cannot imagine that was the case. this one is important. if you vote to support us a minute, i can almost guarantee you, and lets you are a member of those four states, you are voting to benefit your state and the program dollars that will come as a result of this amendment to your state. this is a commonsense amendment. it is not directed at beneficiaries. it is a fairway of allocating very precious dollars in a fairway to all 50 states and stead of allocating 50% of the money to just four states. >> senator gillibrand." >> i strongly oppose this. the 2 billion cut in the program is a mistake. at the end of the day, we are spending $100 billion a year on obesity and $500 billion a year on cardiovascular disease. we have a growing targeted obesity problem in this country. when our kids go to school obese, one of the challenges as off than they did not sleep, they have sleep apnea, they score lower on math and reading because

acting white means you don't want to treat people unequally.n't want to be big gotted toward other people. there are a number of ways in which we can cut that. the president unfortunately made a statement that people have then run with. so that if he said that he, as an individual, used the excuse that they're trying to keep a black man down, doesn't mean that they're not trying to keep black men down. it doesn't mean at the same time that that excuse-making is something that is germane to or at least exclusive to african-american men. martin, i teach at a historically white institution. i teach at a predominantly white institution. can i tell you about the excuses i get? people are trying to e-mail me about papers when the grades have been turned in two weeks ago. so the white kids are lazy, disinclined to work, make up excuses, use drugs, do everything you say black men do. why focus on black men as if they're somehow -- >> sir, i also had to seek many extensions myself. brown men as well as black, as well as white. here's a quote from the gr

you want the poor to suffer, black people to stand in line to vote, a people betrayed unequally intowomen to be paid less than men. he said all of those things and that was close the undertone of his speech. diane feinstein gets up and she leads off our whatever it was, her press conference, she leads off with a pastor sink if you're a good christian you have two be for gun control because otherwise you don't get the kids are getting killed all around the country in schools and churches and places like standing up for this is what the left now stands for. they are several different kinds of the bullies worth pointing out that i'm going to divided into two sections are going to discuss what it is we say and the other part of it is how we fight this. it is an overwhelming attempt by the left to silence the debate, to shut us out and to cow people into being quiet because it's much issue to go about your daily business not being called a racist sexist bigot homophobe who hate every minority. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. >> look, i don't mean to put you

what sustains this unequal equation? we all know that for decades this country interests have determined washington's support, in particular the ruling families in the gulf. these monarchies were in pressing need of american support given the inability of the countries to defend themselves against external enemies and the fact with exception of kuwait all of these monarchies lacked democratic or constitutional legitimacy. in consequence, even after economic upheaval that was caused by the saudi engineer oil embargo of 1973, not change this basic equation to henry kissinger says in his memoirs of that episode, the rhetoric of saudi diplomats on behalf of the air because was impeccable and occasionally in transit. but behind the scenes saudi policy was almost always helpful to americans diplomacy. this is a basic pattern. i think it explains why did this not only the lobby to drive u.s. middle east policy. rather, since there's no contradiction between the americans strategic interest and faultfault in alignment with the a

america as anhat economic system -- and they figured it out years ago -- was becoming more and more unequal i used to have to take a lot of time to explain this, but thanks to the occupy wall street movement, i don't have to do that anymore. i just use the term one percent, 99%, and everybody knows what i mean. this country was polarized over the last 40 years between one percent becoming much more wealthy and the other 99% not so much. >> you are listening to richard wolfe, the author of a number of books, including democracy at work, a cure for capitalism. making the book available to you for a $75 contribution. you can get the dvd of the full address for $75. let them together for $125, the book and the dvd are yours. f is a well-known economist, talk for decades at university of massachusetts amherst and now teaching at the new school and new york. the number to call live 866-359- 4334. we already have people to thank. we urge you to call in. filled the phone lines. you are watching independent television, and you are the link to keeping it live. .all 866-359-4334, 866-359-4334 democrac

the story of american democracy is a paradox, the wealthiest nation on earth, yet one of the most unequal, yet still one of limited social mobility. the institutions that used to bind americans to one another, family, community and government, the institutions that mitigated the worst abuses of economic exploitation are now under siege. and for many people, the promise of america is becoming an illusion. in his new book "the unwinding: an inner history of the new america" the "new yorker's" george packer explores what has happened to america over the past 30 years. he tells a story of several americans navigating the new world without institutions. of this time he writes no one can say when the unwinding began when the coil that held americans together in its secure grip first gave way. if you were born around 1960 or after, you watched structures that had been in place before your birth collapse like pillars of salt across the vast visibility landscape. when the norms that made the old institutions useful began to unwind, the roosevelt republic that had reigned for almost half a century

harassment in the military, you are 21% less likely to get your claim past because the va has an unequal policy when it comes to posttraumatic stress claims. it is a higher burden of proof for sexual trauma victims. than it is for veterans who suffer combat trauma. i would urge the caller to go to our website. you can find more out about the ruth moore act. ruth moore is a sexual assault survivor who served in the navy and fall 23 years against the va to get her posttraumatic stress claim past due to her rape. she is the face of this issue. we are not going to give up on va claims. sexual trauma claims should not be considered secondary claims to combat-related claims. posttraumatic stress is posttraumatic stress and all veterans should be considered equal. twitter asked for more stats on breaking down the percentage of assaults. one are some stats from cnn the alleged crimes and those 3374 reported assaults. we are talking with the service women's action network on these issues. we have a special line for military folks. robin is on that line, active duty out of alexandria, virginia. ca

after tract in these training institutions, this is what training teachers were tag -- society is unequal. the working class is opressed. people are taught to read, therefore that fact that they can read is part of their pressure so in order they show no longer about opressed we don't teach them to read. it sounds absolutely barking mad. it was barking mad. but that is the kind of ideology that helped lead generations of teachers to stop teaching children to read, and to say, they will teach themselves to read. we're just literally taking the book and then they'll teach themselves to read. they'll look at the print on the page, we'll read them the story. they will memorize the words, or they'll guess the word, and then we can tell them they're reading. and so you had generations of children who grew up to be in the -- they had been told that they were literate. this is wicked stuff. and when i came across all this when i was at the guardian, i couldn't believe it. i couldn't believe that a society could have taken leave like this. you look at this and think, this is beyond belief. unfortu

one of the problems for stimulus is that, you know, the economy is improving but improving very unequallyetty darn well at the top. look at the stock market on a tear. for middle and low-income workers it's not going very well. the macro numbers point in a different way than they did when we headed into a recession. >> the economy is doing better than we can expect it to be doing given the fiscal policies coming out of washington. >> that's the macro economy. >> right. >> talk about middle income paychecks or something -- >> did we see it in the job numbers too? when you look at the most recent report and revisions it looks like we had a lot more job growth in the first month or two of the year. >> the more recent months will have revision. spring looks better than the last two springs when we had declines in job growth. i credit the federal reserve for this. a latino of the malfeasance we've seen from congress have been offset by a very grievance tear policy. that's the difference between us and europe. in europe you see austerity driving economies back into recession because their centr

these messages and around women who until recently couldn't serve in combat roles so there was this unequalw do you make sense of it? >> the pathologies don't check themselves at the door when you get to camp. so what you present is what society you've been drawn from. the military, however, known for as well trained as we are, you know to become a fighting machine, it does not address appropriately some of those maladies that we bring forth. in fact it reinforces many of them especially when we talk abo about the roles men and women play. in the military those roles are supposed to be broken down because we're one fighting force when they are not. not until recently have we been able to serve in combat roles. that has been a major part of why women are seen as second or third class citizen, you know, in the military. when i served, i don't believe that this is a new problem, frankly just because what i saw 26 years ago when i enlisted. women were, you know, yes there is the issue of alcohol and sometimes under age drinking and all those things are against the law. but women are placed in a

designed in such a way that we would be on the floor of the senate saying to 46 states will be treated unequally do get a better deal here. i can imagine that was the case. this was important. i cannot must guarantee you must remember those four states, you are voting for the comments a result of the amendment to your stay. they are not beneficiaries and that's a fair way of allocating precious dollars in a fair way to all 50 states and allocating the money to force states. >> i strongly oppose this amendment on a few grounds. straight up causes $2 billion is a mistake because at the end of the day we seen a hundred billion dollars on cardiovascular heart disease and we have a growing childhood obesity problem in this country. when our kids go to school, one of the challenges is often they do not sleep well, hunt sleep apnea, score lower because of lack of sleep or because of lack of self-esteem as they are made fun of. there's so many problems that happens to children they are obese. taken away for education issue should be we want to cut costs so we not spent for new obese adults. the second r

as "the washington post" noted in today's lead editorial, any unequal application of the law based on ideological viewpoint is unpardonable, toxic to the legitimacy of the government's vast law enforcement authority. i couldn't agree more. these activist groups were simply trying to exercise their first amendment rights of peaceable assembly and free speech, the corner stone of our democracy. yet, their reward for expressing concern about the direction our country is going was to be singled out in an attempt to prevent them from fully engaging in the democratic process. it has been reported that the targeting of these americans and muffling of their voices on the pressing issues facing our country began in 2010. what's happened since then? the passage of very consequential pieces of legislation, including obamacare and dodd-frank, the financial reform act. multiple debates on how to address our nation's dire fiscal situation, two national elections, including last fall's presidential election. as alarming as the actions of the i.r.s. are, i'm even more troubled by the i.r.s. trying to

is something where, you know, there are a lot of different elements to solve, you know, the really unequallitics that are somewhat more controversial or that have to be developed. this is pretty simple straightforward fix. it is getting bureaucracy right. i think -- what we -- i'm absolutely serious. >> re. >> i yes. let's just say that. what we are hearing about, i go back to keystone kops instead of big brother. what we are hearing about is the -- >> but it could be big brother. we don't know yet. >> exactly. if it is that's where -- investigations are being made but i will say that when you view the irs -- investigative report you see they refer to the team of specialists reviewing the c-3 and c-4 applications. it was one employee up until very recently. so this poor person was overwhelmed as the c-4 applications double between 2010 and after citizen united in 2011. the point is that i think that, you know, the senate is now paying attention and we will be having hearings on this and i think we absolutely need to look at, you know, the problem with the way these laws are being -- regula

societies unequal. the working class is oppressed. people are taught to read. but for the fact that they can read, in order that they should no longer be oppressed, we don't teach them to read. it sounds absolutely barking mad. and it was barking mad. but that was the kind of ideology that helped lead generations to stop teaching children to read and say they will teach themselves to read. we will literally kicked them and we will read them a story, they will memorize the words, or they will guess the words and then we can tell them the reason so you have generations of children who grew up to be illiterate, but they were being told that they were illiterate. this is wicked stuff. when i was at the guardian, i could not believe it. i couldn't believe a society could help do this. unfortunately it was true. you know, it took me into reading in all kinds of avenues that were equally bizarre. and so i wrote this book. so it was kind of what i was saying in the book that this had taken over the entire establishment. lo and behold, they proved it in the book. establ

there is an agency in the federal government that needs to have a buffer approach, mistreatment, unequal treatment to any individual or organization, it is the i.r.s. is that correct? >> i agree, sir. that is what is sad about this. >> what happened in the cincinnati office and reviewing the applications this what comes from it. is that right? >> the perception is that. >> my understanding is based on the report and the recommendation that the i.r.s. has taken that up and have done the best to implement that this will not happen in the future? >> it will not happen again. >> who is being held accountable and why? obviously, you have rendered your resignation to the president and he's accepted that as commissioner of i.r.s., is that right? >> i have done so to the secretary. >> ok. any other instances of accountability as far as those in the cincinnati office, those in charge of the cincinnati office and the development and use of this criteria? >> i think i mentioned there were two instances where counseling was suggested and as an reassignment of someone. we now have possession of the f

issued its unequal treatment report which said, in unassailable terms found that even when insurance and income are the same as those of whites, minorities often receive fewer tests, less sophisticated treatment for ailments, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes and hiv-aids. so when -- even when you have insurance, even when your educational level and income is the same, you are still not getting the same treatment. and so it's no wonder that african-americans and other people of color have suffered from disparities for so long. so in 2003, led then by jesse jackson jr., we insisted that there be a report every year on health disparities, a national report. and the very last one, so we're in our 11th year now, we're in our 10th year now, and the very last report shows very little change. it showed that blacks receive worse care. this talks about equality. than whites for 41% of quality measures. hispanics receive worse care than nonhispanic whites for 39% of measures. asians and american indians and alaskan natives receive worse care than whites for nearly 30% of quality measur

program would be designed in such a way would be on the floor saying to 46 states, you'll be treated unequally in new get a better deal here. i just can't imagine i was the case. this one is important. i can almost guarantee you unless you are a member of those four states, you are voting to benefit your state in the program dollars that will come as a result to your state. it is not directed at beneficiaries and is a fair way of allocating precious dollars in a fair way to all 50 states instead of allocating 50% of the money to four states. >> senator gillibrand. >> i strongly oppose this amendment. first of all, the strata has $2 billion is a mistake because at the end of the day was spent $100 billion a year on a pc in $500 million on cardiovascular heart disease. unfortunately, with a growing childhood obesity problem in this country when our kids go to school a piece, one the challenges has been sleep apnea, score lower in math and reading because of lack of sleep or lack of self-esteem because they made fun of. there's so many problems that happens to children when they are obese. taking

that have been by definition very difficult, because that kind of circularity tends to create a very unequal relationship and worker, itr tends the workers who have no other chances or choices in theirsocieties, communities, and a great deal of the talk about migration has not focused on the difficulties that traditional form of circularity, what happens in home communities, the difficulty of enforcing the rights of workers. the kind of circularity that the secretary is referring to and the kind of positive circularity that is envisioned in this work, and, i think, in a way that in many provisions of the current proposed senate bill outlined is a circularity that is really more in the realm of mobility, mobility that has to do with a range of skills, economic needs, and human capital, capabilities across the skills spectrums, choices, movement, an opportunity for people that are based on their own growth and on the growth of economies, where it is that opportunities exist. so that one of the things we hope will come out of this work and one of the things to which we are committed at the migr
