over the weekend Ted Cruz
did almost nothing in yet he was in the news
all over the place had
Ted Cruz in five tea partier shown up in Washington DC
you say in front of the capital or something or anywhere on the ball it
would have been
wall to wall news instead
thousands of people came to Washington DC in
now I didn't watch corporate media all weekend but I tuned in
numerous times here and there just kinda just flipping through in sampling
as as I was going through my weekend and I saw
a no mention of this I'm guessing that there was probably some
but it's it's very interesting what this white you know what the the how the
filter the
the producers in the in the corporate media decide to hear what they decide is
important for all of us to know about
Ted Cruz the Tea Party billionaires and
what is important for us not to know about the American people being upset
about be inspired out for example
kono back is all I was he is the director of the movie
terms and conditions may apply the website for the movie is taxi
mighty ACMA as in terms and conditions may apply
GA cm a dotnet and a collar a call and welcome to the program
hey it's gonna be here so I and i understand that actual you've got a
showing in this thing coming up tomorrow
yeah yeah so we've actually had over 20,000 people on petition their members
of Congress to use see the film and we're going to be screaming at the
Capitol Visitor Center
tomorrow either be reception 5:30 p.m. and I'm not gonna sex
asking actually hosted by representative I just Marsh
and anyone is welcome to come in fact show it to you if you wanna see the so
many wanna
do you know in a room with a lot of numbers a congressman staffers
and I stick around for incredible panel for whistleblowers like Thomas Drake
arrest heist
how are the visitor center five-thirty well if you want to encourage a member
of congress to go you can go to call congress daughter worker
figure out the number for congress any other way you want and
the contact you can actually condition right now a track on Stardust we have
website a dedicated entirely to making sure that we carry
our congressmen as educated as possible on the surveillance issue a great track
of .us
that's right okay sounds good are
so call and tell us what happened over the weekend things
free we had an amazing turnout and I can say we because I was in organizing it
but I can tell you
after having been there are your problem and its people
i gather together i mean in protest over the NSA surveillance
state and II with that shark attack as you were saying earlier 22
to see you know the it wasn't and a major national news story
and I yet this is its only because the NSA spying on course given a journey
story but the protest in itself
didn't gain much traction with me as I were expected
and I i guess what you were saying it like his parents here %uh
who's making decisions terms are much you RCB American
people and what not and add the most bizarre part about this
is that much of the NSA spine has been directed
at figures in the media and
I you know I get it that you know the corporate media they wanna kinda get
along to go along play the game not lose access
but the lose access part is they don't wanna lose access to politicians and so
you know they continually don't no contradict politicians when they lie
they they be you know put serial liar politicians on
on the air over and over again let them say whatever they want to say I mean
you've even got the that they embarrassing spectacle out NPR
continually putting on
heritage foundation cato you know Institute does is give right-wing
think tanks who put forward I disingenuous to just flat out wrong
right-wing talking points would not now I know challenge but with the
with the credibility of NPR's associate with them and
you would think that they would be concerned about therein go ahead
now and I'm excited because this really is a nonpartisan issue at all
when it comes down to is do you do you believe in the Constitution or not
I do you believe that we have forced many privacy protection
and i were really very curious far night on when I interviewed these
whistle-blowers
on Thomas trigger a tight here and I will ask them
this is happening abroad you know we're spying on me
all these world leaders are we doing it to congress right
right and and I mean that I think that's what provoked the church committee
hearings back in the day back in the seventies
was that nixon was actually spying on his political enemies which
was congress and congress got freaked out and I mean a lot of his an enemies
list was the press to
and the Prescott freaked out and I don't understand why
the press isn't freaked out about this i mean one of the first guys to be subject
to this kind of stuff James Rosen
was a Fox News reporter wise and fucks all over this
yeah I mean I think Press is yeah there is a concern there because they
attempted anyone has a journalist understand that the second you lose
privacy
I you lose free speech they go they go hand in hand journalists are or what are
the
those he held professions that really require having
need for access to whistleblowers and you to people who are watching the
watchers
and the eighties a little bit surprising but I think you know I'm I'm appeared on
are
you know news programs on all sides of the aisle and
there does seem to be a a real concerns here when I
when I find no ire were finally be a lack of concern actually it on the
corporate side
yesterday refused me because Google and Facebook for the world
have really created honey pot I that
yesterday morning and you know these the spy systems are able to tap into
and I think it's time to stop giving a free pass well call in if you go to the
rule dotnet
and start comparing the members have the boards of directors a summer the largest
defense contractors in America with some large media companies in America he find
surprising amount of overlap
and if seventy percent of the NSA's budget has been outsourced to these
large defense contractors
arm thats that's a pile of money that's going to the same people who are
you know on the boards of directors have ups many of our media companies as
its there's a there's an unholy the you know we're all in this together we CEO's
we
you know directors have american corporations
well there really isn't a holy alliance and that's what we've done
obviously these Terms and Conditions agreement that we've
we have I that we sign up for that I don't think we should be held
accountable for
is could by quickly giving away our privacy in exchange for the so-called
free services
Karen any so far cosby services are really just an incredible spying mission
that allows the government to do what is wanted to do for a very long time
and and like you were saying you know get there is
arm are real this I mean it's the industrial
as for their income taxes what we're looking at here
tenets when you're talking about those kind of numbers in the billions going
into
interesting I you have been vessel so they are complex of course we're going
and a very funny pictures
yet we're talking with Colin Hall back he is the director of terms and
conditions may apply
new movie that's going to be plain tomorrow night at the Capitol Visitors
Center over the US Capitol building a rate from the US Capitol building
and adjust in a marsh who is the go tea party Republican for Michigan
but he's a good guy and nine national security issues in fact is starting to
take some flak back in some districts for
um from the quote establishment Republicans which I find very
interesting
I is going to be introducing the gig you have a democrat who's gonna show up to
to balance amount
you know I'm you're trying to get at making your marquee to come out
afterwards
long can a long-discussed I'm that we're all very interested in just couldn't get
into their schedules
at I mean there really is they're pushing out the invites a really is a
you know I'm a bipartisan and bicameral support forum
for this event and for getting people to care about these issues
and and I think that's really the key and that's why
thousands of people demonstrated this week for many are coming into DC from
all over the country
is there is there's a real IRS right now
and anytime you hear somebody asked that question I have nothing to hide so why
does it matter
first up this all the time and I think really answer that question but I cannot
if you want a very simple response to that ask for the passwords to all their
ya love their online account and tell them to take off their clothes right
like we all have something to hide it's a very even very I'm
talk and work hard or just point out you know times change
the Boston p.m. tea party would not have been possible the British been able to
spy on the people who participated in a
at Hartley you can control the math detailed map that's right there would be
no United States calling all back
terms and conditions apply is the movie TACE am a dotnet is the website thanks
