website with twenty four seven live streaming news times what to do about the ongoing financial part of unlimited free high quality videos for download. and stories you never saw a mainstream news. so a need to listen to. most are touched. by guys welcome michel ancel on the ellen show with part of our guests have to say on the topic now i want to hear audio is going to have video on our twitter for a plot of the questions that we post on you tube every monday and on thursday the show long response is really.

ok it's time for its rights to a sign of war so we have a man who's collected this award several times before former arkansas governor fox news host and possible twenty twelve presidential candidate mike huckabee and mike has a habit of saying. pretty comments when he's on the radio and we already showed you his obama grew up in kenya rant earlier this week but his latest target wasn't president obama nancy pelosi or harry reid no this time he has issues with actress natalie portman's portman this was not all her talk about her winning an oscar last sunday night and being pregnant and anway. since it's troubling people are naturally portman or some other hollywood starlet who broke hey look you know we're having children but i'm very good having these children are doing just fine but there aren't really a lot of moms out there who are making millions of dollars of your movie and i

think it's a distorted image just on everybody are. most single moms are very poor uninsured it can't reach out and if it weren't for government assistance and starting a new version of health care and a story that we're not seeing and it's unfortunate that we war in iraq. out of children good luck. where do we even begin here mike first of all i'm pretty damn sure that natalie portman couldn't care less what you think she just won an oscar so she's hollywood royalty at the moment but she's also engaged to the baby's father and she thanked him on stage for him giving her the best role of her life that of being a future mother there unless they're planning on getting married so why exactly are you hating on this couple also might since they are not married what do you think should have done to she have gotten an abortion that's perfectly legal but i think you also seem to have a problem. with that i also have to ask you where was your criticism of bristol

pailin in two thousand and eight sarah palin and john mccain had absolutely no problem taking bristol who was unwed and knocked up to the g.o.p. convention and in fact they even had levy johnston on stage at the convention while circulating the story of the young couple was going to way we all know how that ended personal is still single mom and levi went on to do a little bit of porn in playgirl so i guess that's family values one o one for the pete and so for being a hypocrite making a few stupid statements every now and then mike huckabee is tonight's two all time winner now four decades after banning r.t.c. from its campus harvard university welcome the program back today harvard is the first elite school to welcome back the reserve officer training corps which was kicked off campus at the height of the vietnam war recently harvard and other private schools use the military's ban on gay soldiers serving openly as a reason to keep r.t.c. off campus but with don't ask don't tell being repealed by congress and signed by

president obama many schools are forced to take a second look at their o.t.c. program after their official reason for banning it no longer existed now a lot of people on the right have complained about ivy league schools have been slow to allow r.t.c. to return claiming that the ivies are simply elitists who don't support our armed forces but harvard finally says the time is right now soon to harvard have been allowed to join r.t.c. but up until now they had to commute to and i t. into boston university for the program so now the harvard has agreed to allow the r o t c to return expect many more schools to yale has also expressed strong interest in hosting r.t.c. program and debate over whether to open its doors hasn't had to fight at columbia the scene of some of the largest university protests during the vietnam war. now tonight we have a special guest on the program so there's no need for an introduction about just one story we've got a lot of ground to cover here from the labor protests in america the drug war going

on in mexico two under arrest in libya and the options that our government is weighing when it comes to action so joining me to discuss it all is congressman dennis kucinich of ohio congressman thank you so much for joining us to be with you thank you let's start with what we're seeing go on across the u.s. right we're seeing protests in wisconsin in ohio and indiana in other states across the country but how do you really categorize this i mean is this beyond a matter of just right and left is this a class war. where there is a class war going except the working class middle class is lost and the wealth is the accelerated to the top in the attack on public workers in ohio where i joined the workers last week and wisconsin in indiana and other places is really a reflection of an attempt to try to take the wealth that the workers have created . and privatizing if you look at the ohio legislation it's very clear with they're trying to do is to break the unions to force them to strike to say will replace you

if you do strike and the right to privatized the jobs which inevitably drives up the cost of so the taxpayer gives them less service to the workers less and increases corporate profits do you think that americans are going to let it happen or are we going to see this continue this way for the state by state to go in masses the american people look at this they realize that for most people their wages are stagnant or they're being knocked down that they don't have any control over their benefits anymore their health care may not exist even if they have a job their benefits are subject to attack so people are looking at this and i have to wonder is my going to be next so i think there is a. there's a closing of ranks occurring among people whether they're part of a union movement or not because they're starting to identify with the police the fire and the teachers who are out in front of the state capitals and or saying look where you attacking us we teach our children we police your neighborhoods we put out fires in homes we serve the elderly serve serve take care what are you doing

and i think that when people realize that what is actually under attack is the idea of government of the people itself then i think the american people are going to respond and they're already responding quite favorably to those who are under attack so this isn't necessarily the and this is what you're saying oh you please do anything you can numbers have dropped dramatically and the u.s. and so if these republican governors these republican state legislatures we in right now take away the collective bargaining rights from one state to another you know could that be the end of union membership well it's it's a challenge to public unions right now remember the unions and private companies took a hit with the passage of nafta and gatt and china trade because those trade agreements did not include the right to organize a right to collective bargaining the right to strike for the jobs that were shipped over to see. notably to china the people workers there don't have any rights so the corporations can make bigger profits workers are paid less sending their goods back to the united states and people realize all the industries we've lost now what's

really happening here is an attempt to undermine. our democracy and replace it with a corporate plutocracy or something that profoundly anti-democratic american people are starting to they're like the canaries in a coal mine on this issue they're starting to smell the poisonous gas of fascism creeping into into our country so my question that is where are all the democratic leaders where is the president on this and you can say that it's a state by state issue but as we see it happen in a number of states and we see workers rise up in states across the country in support of workers in other states then where are the democratic leaders why is no comment taking advantage of this i mean to get his base i'll be sending a message to the president next week we're all going to be calling on him just to physically stand with the workers not rhetorical you not to tell campaign workers get out there that's fine but to keep the commitment that he made about being there physically present with workers would send a tremendous message across the country if the president went to columbus ohio and

stood with the workers if you want to wisconsin and stewarts workers and indiana so that he shows where where his sympathies lie because what's happening is all of government is being used to accelerate the wealth upwards and if we stand back and let corporations or their adherents at a state level. crush people's ability to organize their garden collectively knock down their wages take away people's ability to have any say at all in their health care and their pensions and the working conditions then what you have is something that's not democratic so we're really fighting for democracy or this goes beyond labor this goes to the essence of our democracy and our democratic president isn't necessarily saying much about and i want to segue here to what we're seeing happen of course across the middle east libya specifically there's a lot of talk right now as to whether a no fly zone should be implemented whether the u.s. should intervene here and it seems like we have a bit of a divide with the military officials robert gates defense secretary saying no fly

zone means military intervention that means a military operation is that all we should be doing right now starting another war well. america's. what some of called intervention itis. we intervened based on lies in iraq we intervened based on a misreading of history in afghanistan and we're going to remain in pakistan we're going to remain cold virtually across the globe it's time that america began to realize that these interventions have not made us more secure they've made us less secure that every occupation fuels an insurgency and in the case of libya an intervention would be disastrous would be intervening in a civil war now certainly we should be concerned about what happens to the people in libya but we do not have a right to be able to pick who's going to win or lose there because the minute we intervene let's say we intervene on behalf of those who are protesting and the

horrible activities of the gadhafi government then khadafi would turn around and say see there us times and it would really undermine the ability to create change within the country of libya so the united states has to take a more modest approach in and work with the world community on matters of human security we not move away from this this notion of a human polar world a top down approach wherever whenever wherever we say has to go because that people are buying that you see what happened in egypt. it was an authentic change that occurred as a result of an authentic expression of the people the same the same thing. has happened in other countries happening in other countries to change was an exam i want to ask you i had requests then i was speaking in front of the senate foreign relations committee the other day and she was speaking about china and saying that china is beating out the u.s.

and she essentially said let's talk real quality china goes around doing whatever they want in their best interest let's like go this humanitarian we want to be good and do everything and let's get real do you think america's at some kind of a turning point the obama administration is at a turning point you either try to be the winner or you try to be the nice guy that realizing you can't be at the top anymore in this world. i'll cherish it with china when you really go should the china trade agreement and you and you have china give workers the right to organize a right to collective bargaining the right to strike the right to decent wages and benefits prohibitions on child labor and slave labor and protect the air and water quality if you do that then you'll start to see the united states industries a little bit stronger because we have over two hundred billion dollars trade deficit with communist china and what that would mean is we would be slightly stronger economic situation right now we're borrowing money from china to finance a war in afghanistan china is buying up hard assets around the world they're even turning away from investing in us that we need to have

a relationship he has economic strength and isn't based on the idea that somehow we have to strengthen ourselves militarily as a last straw in order to maintain our supremacy but china isn't scared to go into perhaps some of these other countries and made deals with them to buy up their resources because they don't have any promises to anybody in the world they're not trying to you know to spread democracy or bring some type of humanitarian cause and is that what's going to make us lose out well china is very very clear they've been very dedicated to economic growth and they've got in ways where they've taken money that we've helped to provide them through this trade agreement and they've invested it around around the globe they haven't been building up their military the way the united states those were spending close to seven hundred billion dollars every year we'll spend trillions of dollars on wars in collectively in iraq and afghanistan china didn't get into that china is putting their money into growing their economy and into growing their national economic profile we've taken

a different thing we've thrown money away investing in wars and investing in a growing military we have we have a military we spend more money than almost the rest of the world combined for our pentagon what's that about it's sinking america's what it's going to sort of i want to thank you very much for joining us tonight i wish we had more time we'll have to have you come back and thank you. you so much. also to come on tonight still have our friday fireside chats and that it's happy hour so could the logo for the two thousand and twelve summer games in london be a racist symbol that a lot more when are you princes jenny churchill and lisa caputo joining their stories that we'll be talking about in the bars this weekend. led. a charmer and her broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture a. new

. to tonight's fire inside your home. there's a video that's been circulating this week that quite frankly makes me sick to my

stomach it should make anybody feel nauseous because it's ugly it's hateful and it couldn't reflect any worse on americans and the video was from a charity event in orange county california last month this charity event was sponsored by a muslim group and tea party members other protesters decided to bombard the people entering this event the families with their children with these words. go back home terrorist after you heard in that short clip but there are some other things that were shouted that included mohammad was a pervert and do you beat out your guy two are you a molester now after seeing that you tell me that islamophobia isn't

a problem in the u.s. but the thing is that this video gets even worse she wasn't just a bunch of crazy diva already yours and other prejudiced people who were crying out these chants you know there were a lot of bit of visuals there. during the last republican elected officials representative gary miller told the crowd but he was proud of them and what they were doing all the councilwoman from the apart took it even further. down it is your. evening. here. i don't even care if you think i'm crazy anymore you think. ok ok. let the nineteen year old son with the united states know we. believe he may be very happy to take these children it's only meeting in

territories. she doesn't even care people think that she's crazy anymore when she calls an entire segment of the u.s. population a group of people evil and terrorist and says that she knows a lot of people that wouldn't mind killing them she doesn't care because not enough americans do not enough people are speaking out to stop this kind of behavior and next week or even seeing hearing start on capitol hill about the radicalization of muslims here at home does anyone else out there find this to be not only disturbing but eerily reminiscent of horrible events in history when groups were singled out when people were so overflowing with their hate for them that people die people got rounded up and were put into camps now this obviously is not the holocaust but let's not let it go as single inch are there let's please wake up let's come back down to reality and not anti muslim sentiment take over this country and be what

the rest of the world thinks of when they hear the word america. ladies good evening evening so what is school colors would be why are you in the players' balls have in common tell me the blue. cube isn't. a good word ok story of the day. explain forces of course basketball player b.y.u. has now been kicked off the team because he had sex with his girlfriend biggest crime of all time reality and reality they have

a honor code dui you are more me university and here's what i got to say about this immediately you can have your religious beliefs about sex and premarital sex and all that good stuff but i really hate it's i just think that honor codes are the biggest load of crap i've ever ever come in contact with in my entire life not because i have some experience with them i went to a boarding school which is not a religious institution but had an otter code in the way this honor code work is that well if you tell on people then you get brownie points for you know the favorites get to break the honor code all they want i'm sure that there are you know professors at this university they're banging some of their students but the honor code maybe doesn't apply to that the sad thing to me about this whole thing is that the gyuto was bludging the honor code by being honest about screwing the girlfriend that in germany gives you an example i know but you get points for you know obeying the code but i mean the one serious point i want to bring up a sort of the contrast with parker see where you have star athletes who are like kobe bryant or you know the duke university lacrosse team who don't get any trouble

for say rape or some sort of worse egregious crimes but the poor guy you know gets laid at a time when fewer people our age are apparently getting leave you know this is not my name come on it's an honor code and if you're going to have an honor code then you have to enforce it and rules are meant to be broken you know you know the whole point about you know you really you agree that you're going to hold this on a code and if you're not able to uphold that honor code then you shouldn't go to be why you and you should agree to sign a code and you should be a person of your word like he was and i. to say i really commend him whether or not he was forced to admit that this happened through circumstance or if he didn't on its own he broke an honor code that he agreed to and i think that it's actually really commendable i think that it probably gave him a little bragging rights because he got to say you know yeah i did get laid ok we're going to move. the characters a little bit of controversy over the logo for the olympics in london that are coming out some people have compared it to

a swastika some people or iran actually is now threatening to boycott the olympics because they think that it secretly spells out the subliminal message of zine on and some people said that lisa simpson giving head personally i think it more looks like her looks more like lisa simpson taking a bhangra you guys have again i don't know it's an idiotic logo i had to honestly when i was prepping for the two seconds i had to prep for the segment i had to google what it stood for because i just didn't realize that it spelled out twenty twelve but i mean you know if i was a run that you have the threat of inflation you have half your neighbors up in revolution and uprisings you know you have the u.s. pushing for increased sanctions i mean aren't there kind of bigger issues to worry about out there than like what who looks like they're giving a header of israel you know they've got that it looks like in the boy i promise you it's just really sad because this is something that's been going on for four years now we've been talking about this logo and it's so ridiculous i'm sorry unless it's a sign that you know. that nazis are going to show up at the olympics and other

protests harry potter and the goblet of fire style i don't care this is stupid ok let's move on to something that actually affects people's lives there was a couple in britain who were trying to adopt a child and they were denied this adoption because they are christian and because they said that they wanted to teach their kids that it is homosexuality is immoral what do you think about that i mean i have to say that i personally. you know i agree for once with the pope and i think this is actually a really gross case of discrimination and i think that you know i think that everyone should be able to adopt i think that there should be there should be a situation where you evaluate people based on their ability to be a parent not on their religious beliefs and i think that you know gay couples as well as christians as well as muslims should be able to be false and it happens if this kid let's say is gay and then the parents i don't know he has to grow up

living this life of shame where they make him feel bad about it what if they decide to get rid of him and into a foster home because of it i feel like it's a tricky problem because on one hand it's sort of this first world problem i mean you know we can sit there and worry about the ideological leanings the parents and how to affect the cycle psychology of the child at a time when a lot of children you know can barely put food on the table have no parents no closet and sort of standard of living and actually really do need homes to be adopted into so i kind of see your point on that and but on the other hand i mean what are you going to do is it ok to adopt you know by that logic to send children to i don't know k.k.k. sympathisers sympathizers or you know westboro baptist preachers or child molesters i mean i would do who decides what's right and wrong and how do you. think sadly my problem is i don't think that were you know here to be judges of what people's beliefs are ok and i think that just like a gay couple should be allowed to adopt i think that people who are muslim should be allowed to adopt without people having fear that they're going to have an entity

child is going to turn into you know an al qaeda operatives who practices who go there sorry they're going to. be muslim and say that your child might turn into an al qaeda operative because you're muslim it's quite different to discriminate against an entirely different portion of the population saying that their sexual preference in life who they are is immoral and wrong at least that's my take on it we've got to wrap it up ladies i want to thank you both during this happy hour happy friday and have a great week and here's. all right that's it for tonight's show thanks for tuning in make a comeback on monday in the meantime don't forget the family life fell on facebook and follow us on twitter and he missed any of tonight's show or any other nights you can always catch all the dot com flash heal on a shelf or 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.
