washington d.c. . investigative journalist and contribute to wayne madsen thinks the idea that someone simply press the fax machine button is a poor excuse i think this is part of the carry over from the bush cheney administration where the u.s. basically thumbs its nose at international law and we've seen it time and time again it seems like the reset button doesn't work at the state department fax machines but the idea that there's a bank of buttons that they push it i guess if they push the next one they would have gone to rule rwanda which is next in the alphabetical list so that sounds like a very strange story i don't think anyone would buy that why didn't they contact the russian embassy or the russian government itself why wasn't justice department to the ministry of justice in moscow you know direct talks between. well you can see among the stories we're covering online that r.t.e. dot com what else is on the site like a woman trying to claim that it's given birth to a puppy it's mums is ten.

washington d.c. . well john's here in the studio to give us a little bit more detail on this story as i have how many people in america do you think actually subscribe to this idea american exceptionalism of this divide. intervention that made america and israel together the two chosen countries all of us close look would be five because that's essentially the coalition of these different groups and they estimate anywhere between five to fifteen million people and even more depending on which to stick if you look at and you know this really is all over the country essentially a number of different churches organizations some of them the jerusalem connection international israel always you know media networks and this is actually a money making industry and it's also influencing u.s. foreign policy and it's for the most part countering or going along with the pro israel party where i mean pro israel lobby which is already a poet an arm working here in d.c. we have do you think that essentially these peo

the d.c. schools fired 241 teachers putting another 700 on notice. if you support this idea, give us a call. the numbers are on your screen. we would like to hear from educators as well. up front page of ""the washington post." the washington teachers union will contest the dismissals. this represents the second game changing developments for michelle rhee's efforts to amass more control as to how teachers are removed from their jobs and placed the school system at the head of the movement started by the obama administration race to the top grant competition to more wriggles -- two more rigorously assess teacher performance. we will hear more in education from the president as he delivers his speech on thursday. we will get to phone calls first. tacoma, washington, good morning to you. caller: good morning. i oppose this. i oppose firing two of 41 teachers right now because of the slowness of the economic recovery and the softness of the economy and i think we should put in some sort of nation

we can no longer afford the middleman in washington, d.c. we have to take care of these on a state-by-state issue. when somebody violates the law and does not provide a service that was promised, then we put the full force of a federal government on that person that violated the law. that is how to keep costs down. >> mr. hayward. >> i believe the question had to do with medicare preservation. i voted and worked to preserve medicare with market-based reforms that our costs down. we assured medicare into the 21st century. the one thing that will kill medicare is to paul john mccain's suggestion of granting amnesty. we will find out that we have to pay $2.60 trillion in retirement benefits -- as a security and medicare -- to illegals. that is untenable, an ill- advised, and you do not save medicare. you will wreck the country by voting for amnesty. >> senator mccain. >> medicare is in trouble, my friends, and in even more trouble because of obama-care. i am proud to lead the fight to try to dismantle and stop medicare. it is a giant takeover o

and today we're going to ask if d.c. might be losing touch with reality the nation's capital doesn't seem too worried about growing unemployment rates as lawmakers keep playing politics with the issue i asked reasons anthony rand as oh why he doesn't think the unemployment benefits are going to help solve this problem next we're calling out the white house with shirley sherrod's resignation that makes at least three instances where employees have lost their jobs because they made headlines on fox news am i the only one who finds the fact that fox news fires people at the white house disturbing i'm asked radio host tom hartman for his opinion and then we have to ask is there an evangelical hold over u.s. politics the message of american exceptionalism is extremely influential so we'll look into its influence on everything from domestic politics to foreign policy and next we'll find out what the hold up is over using alternative sources of energy we all know the options are out there yet we still rely on oil for everything

washington d.c. doesn't tax too little. washington d.c. spends too much. i don't know anybody back in indiana who thinks they pay too little in taxes. and only in washington d.c. would anyone believe that raising taxes creates jobs. the american people know we can't tax and spend and bail our way back to a growing economy. house republicans opposed the democrats' failed stimulus bill, their national energy tax, their government takeover of health care and house republicans will oppose this tax increase with everything we've got. congress must take immediate action to prevent any tax increase on working families, small businesses and family farms before next year. so why are we in this mess? you know, it's like i said before. democrats just aren't listening to the american people. the good news is that after seeing so many important decisions made behind closed doors and so much money being funneled into backroom deals, the american people finally have a way in, an unambiguous seat at the table. it's called americaspeakingout.com. now in its third month, th
