they should refrain from any sexual activities so needless to say that remark didn't go over too well bloggers gay rights groups were outraged saying that fever has indorsed the marginalization of gay people around the world one blogger even asked if gay soccer fans should require that themselves before heading to qatar now the choice of the country to host the twenty twenty two world cup shocked almost everyone around the world many criticize the choice but fever has been moving the tournament out of more traditional choices for several years now and it's understandable the fever would warn fans to be sensitive to another culture but singling out gay people a telling them not to have sex just a little overboard don't you think let's just hope that the president sepp blatter learns his lessons from this ridiculous offensive comment but for now he's still going to have to be tonight's tool time winner. now when the one hundred twelfth congress is sworn in next month here in d.c. the g.o.p. is going to take over the house republicans are swept into power back in november

thanks in large part to the tea party the ones who cried out against the washington establishment said that they would come into town to represent the american people and up hold the constitution but turns out they might not really know the constitution as well as they said they did congresswoman michele bachmann who is founder of the tea party caucus in congress said that she's planning weekly meetings to teach law makers about the constitution and bachmann is really excited about her first guest who's going to teach constitutional law listen as she tells lou dobbs on his radio show about her a list headliner we're going to do with the n.f.l. does and what the baseball teams do going to practice every week if you will our craft which is studying and learning the declaration the constitution the bill of rights just a school leader has graciously agreed to kick off our class hour before we cast our first vote in congress. that's right supreme court justice antonin scalia is going to teach the law makers of the constitution but is that really his job should

a sitting supreme court justice who hears cases based on laws set by congress actually be teaching those lawmakers about the constitution isn't there just i don't know some kind of a conflict of interest there not to mention appointed to the bench by ronald reagan in one thousand nine hundred two is widely considered to be the leading conservative voice on the court the same court the granted corporations the power to spend freely on elections so i have a feeling how that class is going to go don't you and that it will be held just an hour before the first vote even better looks like the tea partiers are going to end up being more establishment thank you thank. now the u.s. congress might be starting their christmas break a little bit later the white house says that they will not be adjourning until the arms reduction treaty known as start has ratified both russian president dmitri medvedev and president barack obama signed start back in april and passing the new start treaty before the new year has been one of the president's top priorities

artie's guy that you can look at the political infighting the delay the ratification so far. in terms of substance there is nothing that can stop the new start from being routed fight key questions concerns whatever senators had during the course of the past eight months of hearings were all addressed i do think that we have as i mentioned done our homework with regard to the new start treaty and that it is. in a good situation to ratify it in the slam duck session it has the unanimous support of the country's military many top officials former and present have testified in favor of the treaty now several republican senators say the votes are there and the new start will most likely be ratified by the end of this week it seems the only thing that could be in the way of the ratification are partisan games political bargaining which have nothing to do with the treaty itself and its content speaking of bargaining at some point the senate minority leader mitch mcconnell came out and

said republicans would want any democrat initiatives if they don't extend tax cuts for the rich so you get a sense of the expand the willard bailing culture on capitol hill and the substance of the treaty whether it's good or bad for america has long stopped being the focus of discussions here in washington to the point when it could become a threat to the u.s. national security a world without binding u.s. russia arms control treaties is a more dangerous world see obama administration is going out of its way to have the deal ratified the president's arguably major foreign policy chief mentees on the. mine not only does the start nuclear arsenals of both countries by a third it's also seen as a symbol of trust between the two nuclear superpowers russia has cooperated with us on critical issues to our national security like iran sanctions transit to supply our troops in afghanistan working on securing loose nuclear materials and the

relationships and trust that are built from the new start treaty spill over into a whole host of other national security issues that are of vital importance to american fee's shoe of trust and america's reputation globally was addressed by the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee every senator has an obligation to ask that question of themselves over the course of these next days are we a credible partner can other nations rely on us what happens when the present united states negotiates a treaty and he comes back here and the rest of the world sees that treaty bogged down not in the substance of the treaty. but in the politics of the day and if the treaty does get bogged down this year chances are the new senate which is going to be more republican and obama hosts will put off the new start indefinitely maybe for months or even years going to check out our t. washington d.c.

. if there's one thing about tough economic times that you could say maybe there's a benefit and so you start questioning traditional pathways to success people are forced to think outside the box reevaluate what's considered a necessity or for evil to to ask themselves what risks are really worth taking now we've discussed throwing out traditional ideas many times on this show because the realisation that college isn't for everyone and some are better off saving that money or looking at families young people who have left this country and found better opportunities elsewhere well now comes another idea forget about sending out countless resumes wasting your time waiting patiently for yes or no and instead to go out and start your own business great a job to keep a job well joining me from our studio in new york to discuss this is scott gerber author of the book never get a real job and the one who came up with this concept got big so much for joining us

now creative job to get a job or create a job you have to keep a job i like that but tell me do you think that you know in general young people college graduates are told to do the opposite in this country that you're told of the traditional route is that you have to go you know get a job with already well established business because that's the pathway to success . one hundred percent and we've been told since we've been in kindergarten that you have to work hard get good grades go to school and get a job and the fact is that that hand out resume driven society mantra of old no longer applies to gen y. especially now with mass unemployment underemployment and automation globalization you know you me it's against us and so if we don't see a better way forward if we don't start moving towards a created job to keep a job mindset or frankly going to be dead out of options but of course the argument here which you yourself know is that a lot of people say that starting a business is that it's very risky and you have absolutely no guarantee that you're bound to succeed there so why should people take this risk would think of in two parts the first part is you know let's talk about risk ok what is more risky is it

more risky to be passive and send out hundreds of resumes you know to jobs that already been getting back to to fight your way into a system that doesn't want you or is it more risky to be proactive the point here is that we've been told to be passive for too long and that would work the fact is it's not working and there are no other solutions being proposed the second part is you know in specially the kinds of businesses that i advocate both in never get a real job my own knowledge her counsel and everything we do as a collective i never would advocate just starting any business i would advocate starting immediate revenue generating businesses such as service oriented companies not facebook but a pool cleaning company the point is it comes back down to the core of education back down to the core of what is going to create job opportunity because like i always say this is not a job market it's an opportunity market but i think that a lot of people are becoming. young people are always idealistic right so what's to stop us from thinking that anybody can be the next mark zuckerberg and start the next facebook who wants to start of cleaning business that sounds so boring. oh

i'll give you an example i have two very good friends both of my own knowledge her counsel nick and omar from college hunks hauling junk brilliant company they took a junk removal business the most unsexy business that's possibly out there and turned it into a company that's worth now millions and millions of dollars one of the largest if not the largest franchise or junk removal in the united states my point is that we have to make own original practical nuts and bolts bolts businesses that we can then through marketing through branding make those cool make them interesting make them unique but right now if we keep trying to reinvent the wheel we're going to be doomed to be run over by it which is why we have to keep it simple we have to keep it practical keep it on the ground and make sure it generates real money real fast but how simple is it really for someone to create a small business that doesn't necessarily have their parents to fall back on whom they can move in with after college to live in their basement until they get the money together until they find the right contacts to help them start a business i mean for those people that are really barely just getting by that might have kids to support is starting a business is really an easy option. again i never see easy easy is the absolute

wrong way to propose this but it's an option the point is at the end of the day we have this road to choose from two paths you either go down that passive road that i keep saying is clearly not working especially in my generation for upwards of almost twenty percent of us and then you have the road of being proactive it's all about making sure you keep a level head you kill your ego and you stop trying to go for broke you know entrepreneurship is not about being the riskiest in the game it's about being somebody who knows how to mitigate risk to knows how to take action and make every action that you take worthwhile because frankly when you become an entrepreneur every hour that you put into your business benefits you directly so if you can turn that into something that is worthwhile for you you're going to benefit but in terms of at an older age i mean frankly the reason we're in this mess is because we don't have an entrepreneurial education because older folks that are in the job force that have been laid off frankly don't have the ability in their minds to go out because they haven't had that support so if we don't start teaching them that that's the way we have to move forward in all generations that entrepreneurship is

a universal theme that you don't need money to start a business you just need a practical foundation again we're going to be out of options well you yourself ask whether this generation is really ready to do that whether they're ready to step out of the box to have an answer to your own question do you have faith in them. i think that this generation can be the most entrepreneurial generation in history without question or reservation but i think there's a lot of work to be done i think we have to come and kill our egos we have to stop with this handout nonsense we have to actually work hard we have to realize we've been too called for too long and get back to basics and most importantly we have to be able to generate real revenue and stop with this law fantasy world that we're going to create the next group on every time we decide to want to start a business once we get there i do believe that we are going to get ourselves out of this mess and if i have anything to do with it along with my own logic or counsel we're definitely going to get it there all right scott well thank you so much for joining us and i hope you're right i hope the you know innovation progress will lead us out of this and that's that of course a little bit of thanks so much. thank you all there is as one more segment left on

tonight's show one of america's favorite t.v. game shows is getting a facelift when i have the details on that in just a moment and we'll continue our look at the prison protests taking place in georgia this peaceful protest isn't getting much attention in the media when asked without this spot light could the prisoners get what they're asking for are going to be the criminologist jeffrey ian ross after the break. chosen from among many. he was given a clear cut mission. a mission he successfully accomplished. became the first ever match in outer space. of the soviet union one of the best known persons in the world. all his thoughts were focused on flight. could he ever think that his life's work would cost him his life

. what happened in those few seconds. and what see good season sealed barrels still. keurig are and. when our team wealthy british style holds a spot on to the splits prize money. markets why not scandals. find out what's really happening to the global economy in these kinds of reports on our.

the bitter cold that's gripping much of the u.s. has many people planning their summer getaways and ukraine is hoping that you forget about a trip to a warm beach and instead pack up the family for a fun visit to chernobyl and yes you heard me correctly chair noble ukraine says starting next year they're going to lift restrictions on tourism in the zone around the nuclear power plant and hope that the area becomes a hotspot really come on ukraine a bad choice of words there currently a limited number of visitors already are allowed into the one thousand miles on around the true noble nuclear power plant which if you remember exploded and burned

in one nine hundred eighty six but the ukrainians are going to release the plan that would lift travel restrictions next week now we should note radiation levels in the accident zone are still well above normal but the area isn't a wasteland as one would expect in fact while life has rebounded in the city of creepy yet now the one nine hundred eighty six nuclear accident killed thirty two people and the international atomic energy agency as to me it's nearly four thousand more will die of cancer related deaths due to radioactive materials being released into the air in the restrictions are lifted you're still going to have to travel with a certified tour group we can keep you safe and not just sound so comforting doesn't it now an author who wrote a book about the wildlife recovery around her noble says that she's worried so many people will start visiting it's going to become nuclear disneyland. i'm not really sure that's going to happen who wants to visit a nuclear disaster site well i'm sure that there will be some people out there that are interested i personally i'm going to take a pass when i take a vacation i want sun sand maybe

a few cocktails but you know to each their own. now in lighter news a show that's made its way into living rooms across america is getting high tech the trivia show jeopardy as experimenting with a new concept and it has nothing to do with alex or rex mustache the show has been on the air for twenty seven seasons with hardly any changes to the form out through all of those years but it looks like now the producers are finally ready to try something new starting next season two of the most successful contestants on the show are be going going to be going up against a robot creating a very interesting matchup actually along a completely accurate show that i've gone through a few changes and i like straight up already shaved off his mustache from the eighty's. who are you if you don't mind i'm trying to read a monologue here well i'm not

a robot if you are talking about and you are not completely accurate because she i'm real or you know me a bit sorry i mean. after the founder of by. and i can assure you and i will look nothing like the robot from the movies well if you're such a know it all watson you tell me why you'll be appearing on the show. with pleasure the producers wanted to challenge two of the most famous champions of jeopardy ken jennings and brad rutter q on numerous of students they clearly were too smart for the shot although they decided to bring me that i was old school that. ard was and that's enough to you this is my show power off but anyway as this show experiments with avatars producers say that watson it won't necessarily win with his computer brain jeopardy is filled with puns plays on words that a machine it won't necessarily catch so that means that ken and brad might actually

defeat this machine and to top it off the winner of this man versus machine match up is going to leave one million dollars richer now of course if watson wins that one is going to go to charity and while i'm excited for this experiment i do hope that this is just a phase but eventually we'll go back to their tried and true format otherwise maybe the real battles between madden machine will be set off and i've got to be honest or back looks much much better with a stash. well now in its sixth day the strike in what started across ten georgia prisons continues it's now become the biggest prisoner strike in the history of the united states and these prisoners mobilized in peace using cell phones to communicate with one another they name december ninth as the strike day and refused to leave their cells or perform any work now their demands are the following a living wage for work educational opportunities decent health care and to cruel

and unusual punishments decent living conditions nutritional meals vocational and self-improvement opportunities access to families and just parole decisions now there are reports the guards have violently tried to force prisoners back to work beating them forcing them out of their cells but at least for prisons the prison where prisoners have continued to peacefully strike but is there any chance that they'll actually get what they're asking for well joining me to discuss it is jeffrey ian ross criminologist at the university of baltimore jeffrey thanks so much for being back i don't well if this is really the biggest prison strike in the u.s. history and that sounds pretty incredible i know i don't really see it on any of the t.v. screens for you well the prison officials are worried that news of this strike will spread to other states and that will have similar kinds of strikes going on so we don't want to contagion effect or at least that's what correctional officials don't want so we're learning about this particularly through the alternative media and

other news sources well the i mean are the could do the correctional officers have power over the mainstream media they're telling them not to talk about this story what do you mean by that no i mean the news is getting out but it's filtering in a very very trickle like fashion and certainly the alternative press is interested in it and a lot of prisons are worried about i think a lot of the mainstream press is worried about their potential you know fanning the flames of these kind of the. strikes in other prisons now by the same token in other departments of corrections prisoners are paid. for their work you know for the maintenance that they do for their work in the kitchen and prison conditions of vary from state to state and between the states in the you know the federal bureau of prisons so it's not one unified kind of prison system in the united states so we need to keep that into consideration the and this is taking place in georgia where as far as i know in georgia they don't get paid anything for

the work that they do and all that they're allowed to do within the prison is only do that work they have no educational opportunities they don't get to exercise they don't really get to be treated as as human beings with other options they're just goes to work and they're supposed to do it for free which is you know what they're complaining about here is that well this violates the thirteenth amendment and they're essentially being treated like slaves do you think that's true oh well you know every state has its own regimen every state has its own opportunities there are clearly limited opportunities in georgia and georgia has changed in terms of the correctional practices in that state over the years georgia used to be one of the worst prison systems in the united states and it has improved particularly through a number of legal suits that have been implemented in georgia prisoners and improved enough i mean are you saying these prison less you obviously not for these prisoners and it's important for them to make money so that they can fund their commissary account they get the through their commissary account they get to buy

food they get to buy nominal health items like soap like you know shaving cream like those sorts of things once again it varies from department a question to department question but that gives them a sense of control over their lives plus they may not like the food that's being served and you might say oh well too bad this is prison they must suffer but you know it gets tiresome eating the same kind of food every day every day some people have restricted diets that sort of thing and the kind of food that served as. not high quality food so they want to have some sort of choice on that and they do that through their commissary account and so what they've been doing is they've been building up their commissary not their commissary accounts but they've been purchasing items they've been stockpiling food until this strike so that they can you know draw down easily and that starring for this for a while here but you know what's interesting to me is is your statement where you say well there are prisoners so who cares what you want i mean it's not that's that is the attitude you could say has merit but is that necessarily right that just

because somebody is locked up for a crime that they should no longer be treated and i repeat it again you know humanely and we created the second class of citizens that whom we have restricted access to education opportunities for and we know how else do we expect these people to get out and then try to you know become a member of society again so no question about it some departments of corrections are better than others in terms of providing educational opportunities vocational opportunities some are worse than others and so apparently you know georgia is not providing these kinds of opportunities to help these individuals walks of important things that we need to take into consideration with respect to rehabilitation and it's not just simply educational opportunities for work opportunities vocational opportunities but certainly and life does not necessarily have to be you know some sort of country club behind bars and the department of corrections must provide nutritional kinds of food and they must you know ascribe to you know the you know the the basic human rights so why would we know this isn't

a problem only in charge because we know that there are the same problems in california you know where the their people have to be released early because the prisons are overcrowded and they also have the same inhumane conditions but what do you think the chances are of the prisoners actually getting their way when you mention that you know the department of corrections doesn't want this getting out but this is a peaceful protest it's really amazing to me what these prisoners are doing because they think that americans would automatically think that prisoners are rioting that there's violence involved these men are asking for demands and of the. peaceful manner has a very unique because it is a peaceful strike it's not a violent strike there's no riot happening i'm sure the department of corrections is preparing for the potential of it being violent but thereby bringing in you know the national guard local police state police that sort of thing but what's going to happen is over time there commissary food is going to deplete they're going to get tired of the food and the department of corrections has time on their side

and they can wait them out until which time they're in a you know if you think that they're necessarily going to get what they want here well that here has been hoping there's a hope for them clinking finest jeffrey thanks so much for being thanks very much all of where we go it's time for our tweet of the day now congressman elect allen west of florida is calling for american news outlets to be censored for running stories based on the recent weak you leaks cables up so we're wondering at what you've been media tweet back to alan we thought they'd say it's called the constitution you should read it before arriving in d.c. but away i guess we'll be getting a lesson from justice scalia on that one for tonight's show thanks for tuning in to make sure you come back tomorrow we're going to have comedian sarah betting costs on the program in the meantime don't forget to become a fan of the launch on facebook and follow us on twitter and if you missed any of tonight's show or any other nights you can always catch it on the you tube dot com slash the lower show where we post the interviews as well as the show in its entirety coming up next is the news with the latest headlines from the u.s. and around the world.
