The Alyona Show 1/03/12
Tonight we'll take a look at Iowa, and how it shows us where this campaign season will be heading. Let's just say that the big money is already rolling in for this very first primary vote. Then, while the overwhelming majority turns its back on SOPA and Protect IP, there are still a few out there touting this legislation and whether SOPA or Protect IP, even do anything to really counter it! And then don't miss happy hour.
MSM: Obama's 'Promise' on NDAA
Topic number one for the mainstream media these days has been the lead up to caucus voters in Iowa, heading for the polls today. But guess what, there are other big things going on in this country. President Obama went ahead and signed the NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act. This is the same authorization act that also includes a provision for indefinite military detention. But you see here's what Obama did on the actual day that he signed it, after backing off of the veto threat, he went forward and decided to insert into the signing statement a promise that his administration won't allow this to apply to American citizens without trial first.
Ron Paul Shows Left Ugly Truths about Obama?
Today is the Iowa caucuses where only 20% of the state's population that is likely to vote Republican will come out, maybe, and cast a ballot that may or may not determine who the GOP nominee for the presidency will be. It's hard to say how much Iowa really matters in the long term, but that hasn't stopped SuperPAC's and the like from throwing insane amounts of money in. But who exactly has that kind of money right now and what should we make of this entire, Iowa show? Radio host David Sirota and James Poulos, Host of The Bottom Line on PJTV discuss.
US Arms Mideast Allies
Two notable arms deals have been signed by President Obama. One of them was a finalization of part of a 10 year, $60 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia which included helicopters, missiles, bombs, and delivery systems. However this element of the agreement says that the US will send 84 new fighter jets to the country, as well as upgrades for 70 more jets. The other accord was reached between the US and its Middle East ally, United Arab Emirates. These arms deals could be the latest precursor to waging war with Iran, and now the US could have the UAE on standby for backup.
Show & Tell: MSM bias against Ron Paul?
We covered the main stream media's full court press against GOP nominee Ron Paul and asked if you think this is the typical vetting process carried out against the latest frontrunner or does it reveal a MSM bias against Ron Paul? Now, we talked about the millions of dollars flooding into Iowa despite dwindling voter turnout. So do you think the money spent in Iowa is worth its political importance?
#1 Myth: SOPA Stops Piracy
Over the last few months we've documented for you, the growing opposition to SOPA and Protect IP. Those nice little pieces of legislation in the House and Senate that would allow the government to seek orders telling ISP's, ad networks, payment processors to blacklist websites considered rogue and dedicated to infringing activities. The Boston Globe for example, just last week editorialized in favor, stressing the billions in loses due to copyright infringement. We'll ask Cato's Julian Sanchez how much actually gets lost jobs and revenue wise and why these bills, won't stop piracy anyway.
Tool time: Santorum, contraception 'license' to do bad things in bed?
Rick Santorum during a recent interview with ABC's Jake Tapper was questioned about his views regarding contraception and he explained that the states should have the right to do that, and reiterated that it should be a state decision. You know it sounds like Rick is pretty passive on this issue, he says make it a state law and let it be handled that way. But it's funny that he's saying that, because in the past Rick Santorum has expressed desires to stop federally-funded contraception. Check out what he shares during an interview with CaffeinatedThoughts.com, after he pledges to remove any chance that federal dollars would go towards abortion or contraceptives.
Happy Hour: Mountain Dew Dissolves Mice?
RT's Lauren Lyster and Comedian Tim Young join happy hour tonight to talk about Occupy 101 offered at Columbia University, Pepsi being sued by someone who claims he found a mouse in his soda, the Santorum Salad, a library sending the cops on a 5 year old for overdue books, and should twitter sensor terrorists?
