6:31 pm
. hey guys welcome to the show and tell on the ellen show we've heard our guests have to say on the topic now i want to hear you just go on to you tube to video on our twitter for part of the question that we post on you tube every monday and on thursday the show gone responses. like your voice. ok it's time for tide school time award goes to a repeat winner arizona governor jan brewer has been in the spotlight recently over her support for a controversial immigration bill drastic budget cuts in her state and even a recall effort against her but now she's getting headlines for another awkward pause that's right brewer was delivering
6:32 pm
a message about economic development and education but she was left speechless take a look. limit the growth of the public sector and restrain unnecessary regulation stimulate the engine of free enterprise. well i teleprompter when did. little painful right how republicans been critical of president obama for using a teleprompter but here's the best part of the story this is not jan brewer's first time zoning out in part of the cameras last fall during her reelection campaign she had a complete meltdown during a debate on live t.v. remember the song. we have cut the budget we have balanced the budget and we are moving forward and we have done everything that we could possibly do.
6:33 pm
we have. did but was right for arizona i would. see a pattern there after that debate performance many of us face started questioning of jan maybe how to cover some kind of a medical issue and with his latest performance those questions are now being asked again the governor eventually laughed off the latest incident read the hard copy of her speech but the incident still has people talking about her was ability to leave the state when she clearly is incapable of thinking on her feet i know that most politicians many t.v. personalities out there like myself use a teleprompter as a guide but guess what when it goes off you just keep talking you use your brain you think on your feet which is something that ham brewer is clearly incapable of and that's why she's tonight's top time winner. and oftentimes on this show we tell you about the trouble the troops face while they're fighting abroad but what about
6:34 pm
when they return turns out that for many veterans of war the real battlefield takes place on the streets as they are a place to sleep and for food to eat parties or mongolia has more. i joined the army to fight for my country make a better life for myself there were no jobs where i lived so carefully i was going to be there forever i joined the army to prove myself worthy if you come in the united states citizen the reason is army doctors are really sought after so my choices are going to be white oh sweet words the promise of a life full of action a step up on the career ladder or even the dream of u.s. citizenship this is the pitch of the army but are recruiters being completely honest about what awaits service members in the battle. or what they can really expect when they come off it and so they tricked them with all these promises of a better life i don't think people end up going and throwing their life away in iraq and afghanistan and then coming home to
6:35 pm
a situation described of homelessness of unemployment and substance abuse michael prysner is an iraq war veteran he recognizes that war can destroy both body and mind of a soldier something seldom mentioned as the media has tired of showing america's wars americans are becoming more disconnected to their troops in battle and losing sight of the consequences of the growing number not just of veterans but of homeless veterans you know that when i had a job i got laid off and that was it i've lost my wife. is lost when he tries to remember what it was that finally landed him on the street the army veteran proudly fought in the first iraq war and now feels like he and many other vets are being trampled on by trying to go to be. and they said was on take time like two or three years four years five years back to school. i mean you start thinking about the
6:36 pm
veterans that day home. these days veterans are ending up homeless sooner than ever so you want to get off the streets. out of the station on the do it four years ago marion robert lee hunter was serving his country in iraq today he is hooked on drugs and living under a bridge i didn't hear. i'm going to punch problems issues was oh i want to deal with here guy handcuffed to a bed. you know much about as i wonder when he said he gets by with some food and extra clothing from the nonprofit group national veterans foundation their outreach efforts fill the gap where government agencies like the v.a. have failed before you would only see like one every. but every three or four months and now every time we go up we almost see somebody for pro my record
6:37 pm
again etc from the first gulf war some people join the armed services in hopes of having financial stability once they're done with their duties unfortunately some of them end up here on the streets now here in los angeles there are more than forty thousand people without a home on a nightly basis many of those are better ends and that problem is just expected to get even worse as more and more serious members return from the war what economic situation with very few top prospects if you join the military for a paycheck you do the wrong you can do the right place freddie cordova a marine served four tours in iraq as he helps homeless vets cordova admits that while some recruiters are concerned about the future of the young men and women joining the armed forces others simply see them as numbers well there's a cliche saying in the military every soldier says my recruiter lied to me it's something that we all know you know the reality is you're less likely to find
6:38 pm
a job when you get out of the military despite promises they are more marketable on the job market the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff admiral mike mullen recently expressed concern over the creation of a generation of homeless vets a practical and moral burden for the u.s. for decades to come despite the warning some conservative lawmakers like michele bachmann have proposed cutting funding for veterans that is something that proud american beds don't like to hear take care remember in the in. the world. america is not going to remarry. in los angeles among galindo archie. it's u.s. vice president joe biden was in russia this week meeting with president meeting with days of and prime minister vladimir putin talking about continuing a reset of relations between the two countries and exchanging opinion among the american people. americans right russia as one of the top five countries
6:39 pm
threatening american security. two years ago this year only two percent. of the entire american population say the view russia as a threat all this leads to one very important conclusion in the mind of one vice president. and i think is now beyond dispute the reset is working. working for all of us working for russia. meanwhile back here in washington d.c. james clapper the director of national intelligence was testifying before the senate armed services committee when he said this certainly the right of the russians have a you know still have a very formal nuclear arsenal even with which does pose you know potentially
6:40 pm
a mortal threat to us i don't think they have the intent to do that but certainly china is. growing its military capabilities as the full range of whether conventional or should keep forces that that they are building so they can pose a from a capability standpoint. a threat to us as a mortal threat. needless to say clapper statement has raised a lot of eyebrows so is he just speaking for himself over the entire intelligence and military community with us joining me to discuss this dr thomas pm barnett a cheat atlas for weekly strat and a contributing editor to esquire thomas thank you so much for joining us tonight now i'm the first to echo what apparently senator carl levin said. in surprise after hearing it clobbers statement here which is wait a bit i thought iran or north korea were our mortal threats or how about even
6:41 pm
al-qaeda word russia and china come from. well i you know echoing what he said basically he's talking about capabilities and if you look at the sheer capabilities that russia presents or china presents you know the closest thing to the united states in terms of superpower military capabilities what's missing is the intent and it's really a kind of a cold war legacy argument to be making that you know we can't kind of trust russia on intent there or we have to focus on capabilities i don't think there's any tremendous interest out there that we share or that we conflict over that points to the path of direct state and state or if we could've made it all the way through the cold war without accomplishing something that disastrous i don't see much of an argument in the post-war era to consider him in the same light but this is this is kind of a larger adjustment that we're still having a hard time making and that is looking at the world differently than just our friends from the cold war and starting to realize that there are rising powers out there who share a lot of strategic interests with us now i just wonder though could it be the same
6:42 pm
thing that we are in here and eight often it's from defense officials from the pentagon now we hear from intelligence officials which is that we need more money because we need to invest in more fancy weapons more cyber security commands to talk about these threats in the future whether their existence or not. there's always going to be that push from all the different domains of the military whether it's cyber war the kind of conventional forces or the strategic forces there's always going to be that push from the various services and you really have in the last ten years because of iraq and afghanistan a major effort within the u.s. military to move more in the direction of small war capabilities and i would argue if you're looking at the planet today in terms of globalization where it's already into developing areas the kind of time note that comes about as a result the revolutions the french air integration the kind of small wars force is really what you want and yet because we don't have the relationship yet i would argue that we should get with
6:43 pm
a russia and china but we still feel the need to hold a lot this and develop and maintain this kind of hedge force that says we want to keep a high threshold to the possibility of great power war i think that hastert reseed over time and the question is why are we having stronger military military relationships with the russians with the chinese to kind of move down this path because again i think when you look at the world we share a lot of the same interests and the potential for direct great power on great power war i just don't think is there well you know economically speaking let's say you know a lot of people are now looking at china as a good model with that with the top down approach not necessarily a good model i want to add new rate but one that seems to be working for the country in terms of economic growth but somewhere along the line this population which is going to want some democracy right this population also is going to need more resources and china is soon going to overtake the u.s. in terms of oil consumption so you know
6:44 pm
a lot of people would say that that's something that we have to fight with with these countries for it's going to be competition. and i would i would argue that you know there was less chance of that not bipolar situation in the cold war because you have the two big superpowers there's an argument that is he moving on multiple larry the major powers are going to compete over resources the problem with that perspective is it doesn't make any sense as you move from bipolar to multi-polar in a bipolar world the soviets had their version of the global economy we had ours you could actually fight over third party resources once i could get rich in a zero sum manner you can't do that anymore because china is already integrated in global production james there's no sense for us fighting over shared resources because one side takes it back and manufactures good goods on that basis and then spreads it throughout the global economy there's just no logic to it so if any at the end of the day we all benefit from working together then who is it that stance really is why do we keep hearing is called by statements we're out there i mean
6:45 pm
what we have between united states and china is a very specific scenario i mean it's sort of like a balloon law from another a we may be in one nine hundred seventy nine kind wants relations act come into being as a result of recognizing the chinese formally in one hundred seventy nine under carter and it commits us to making sure taiwan has enough defense to hold a whole lot any sort of big push from the chinese in terms of military pressure i don't think there's much chance of that anymore and yet because that still on the books for the united states we've got to provide a certain amount of arms and assistance the chinese have to counter with that and we're stuck in sort of a bilateral arms race that really doesn't make any sense and yet both sides feel the need to continue down this pathway in sort of a deterrence and if we can move past taiwan if we get korean reunification i don't see any real big issue between the united states and china in a shared security environment that is east asia right now that i thank you very
6:46 pm
much for joining us and our well save clabber gets to keep his job after this thanks. thank you now so i come out and i say our friday fireside chats and then should a teacher who did horn when she was younger be forced out of the classroom after a student discovered her class is the ground for that and more tonight happy hour. let's not forget that we have an apartheid regime right here in the us. i think. either one of the well. we have a god that says they are safe get ready if you can forgive our freedom. charter
6:47 pm
here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture. a. new website with twenty four seven live streaming news channels what to do about the ongoing financial hard unlimited free high quality videos for download. and stories you never saw on mainstream news. and i believe that the sell me the political. posturing on our two dogs touched.
6:48 pm
you guys welcome to. allan tell me a lot of the show we've heard our guests have to say on the topic now we want to hear our audience just watching you tube to video respond or to twitter for part of the questions that we post on you tube every monday and on thursday to show you all responses we like your book. since it's. your. tonight let me introduce you all to a crack but it's clearly emerged within the obama administration a breakdown in unity and what i see as a lack of leadership for months now on this show we've been talking about the inhumane treatment of bradley manning the army private accused of leaking classified documents to wiki leaks now manning has been held in solitary confinement for months for the past week he's been forced to strip naked every
6:49 pm
night and now for the first time manning himself has spoken out writing an eleven page letter that was released by his lawyer in this letter he describes not only the embarrassment that he feels by being forced to stand for parade in the nude but how he's been left to languish under the un duly harsh conditions of his custody and how he feels that he's being subjected to what he calls unlawful pretrial on it and you know what he's not alone in saying that it's a lawful the u.n. has launched an inquiry amnesty international is protesting the government's actions and anybody out there who knows this simple life in america you're innocent until proven guilty can see that keeping a man locked up in conditions that amount to torture by any international standard before he's been convicted of any crime is wrong and that it's illegal but here is what we get to the good part of the story the new insightful comments made by the state department spokesman p.j. crowley on speaking to students as seminar at mit one member of the audience asked
6:50 pm
growly to please address the. quote elephant in the room the u.s. a torturing a prisoner in a military brig and reportedly according to those who were there without pause growly said what's being done to bradley manning by my colleagues at the department of defense is ridiculous i'm counterproductive and stupid so now we have the state department openly criticizing the defense department we have a clear indication of tensions of disagreement of a crop. within the obama administration and thank god right at least somebody in this government still out there wits about them and sees it took questions the way that this kind of treatment to one of its own citizens will reflect on this country but unfortunately it's not a person that i'd like to promote at a press conference today president obama was asked about crowley statement and you know what he's that he said i've asked the pentagon if the procedures are
6:51 pm
appropriate and meet our standards and they said that they are you know and maybe you shouldn't be asking the defense department or the pentagon mr president maybe you should tell them what you think is appropriate or not based on your knowledge of the law based on sound logic based on your humanity and if you think that what's being done to bradley manning is just fine and say take the responsibility you're the president of this country so please just act like it. the lovely ladies. thank you christine happy friday everyone and happy happy hour.
6:52 pm
you know we're girls i don't know if you guys ever experience this but i'm pretty sure that most young boys always fantasize about their teachers when they're in class and this next story actually brings it to life there's a teacher who now is being asked to leave her job because apparently fifteen years ago she was a porn star she went under the porn name ricky anderson and some of her students found out and she's actually a high school teacher do you think that she should be losing her job over this of a bigger deal i mean i definitely think it's a big deal i think when you've got boys that age they have enough trouble concentrating when they haven't seen their teacher having sex but i think it's just absolutely ridiculous to be like oh i'm so everyone in your grade knows that your teacher did porn you can see the video here but pay attention when she's teaching english excuse me it's illegal for minors to view porn so i'm curious about whether there's any consequences for the idiot kids the got this information number one number two there's a reason why this kind of stuff doesn't come up on you know background checks it's not illegal to consult something adults who have sex together on camera is not an
6:53 pm
illegal app so i think the only mistake that was made in this case is that she actually stepped down resigned because as long as you act like you did something shameful by doing this you're going to be treated like a thing if someone you don't know because this is the second time that this is how to her but each time a kid found the information that's right because that's what. you can say that it's illegal for kids to watch it but if it's on line kids are going to watch it right now is going to keep their hands from getting on it well i do have to say i know i happen to know a lot about the parkways school system it's a school system in st louis and i know a lot of kids who went there and it's actually kind of funny one of them who is now in the broadcast business did some poking around when the story came out to try to find this video he said that it was one of the most difficult things to find. ever and once you found out you had to pay to be able to do it took him hours they says from the ninety's i mean look that chick obviously made some mistakes when she was younger even if she was proud of doing the porn i just don't see the big deal you
6:54 pm
know guess how all of us came about into this world our parents had sex my god her sex was caught on camera and the unfortunate part is that when it comes to schools there's absolutely nothing illegal about being a porn star i say all the more power to you same thing if that's what you choose to do or if you later try to say that that was a mistake in your life but parents run schools and parents is going to get a teacher fired so i just want you to know her and she went to school on the g.i. bill so any parent that wants her fired hates america. but you know you just chose the wrong career i mean i did teacher i personally would have a really hard time having you know my child spend a significant amount of time with someone who chose to have sex on why she's not having sex on camera in the classroom we allow your niece let me when i judge laughingly i talk about all those good in the last thing that she did i just don't want to spend hours with my child so i quit going to last week we discussed how students aren't getting laid so perhaps it's a good thing that we have these kinds of going on with you there well speaking of
6:55 pm
people getting laid we know there's a lot of websites out there people date to go to match dot com or you know whatever but apparently microsoft is now creating a dating forum for people with interests and eccentricities because i guess it's a little hard right to say like i'm a thirty five year old single male who's a lawyer but who also likes golden showers you know you don't necessarily just want to throw that out there the beginning or maybe another one is you know i'm a former porn star who likes to spend hours with underage children. every i don't i don't know i don't know what to say about this microsoft story except that i'm a little confused as to how they got a patent for a website people based on common interests if they work for in just enough to get a patent and maybe i'll get a patent for some site puts people together for a common interest going to the sahara. it hasn't come out yet but. soon enough i'm all for the site i think it's pretty awesome but i have to say one that was part of earlier that i thought was even more interesting was the doppelganger dating site
6:56 pm
which is a dating site for that matches people based on how much they look alike and it reminded me of a really awesome mad t.v. sketch really long time ago that was basically making fun of match dot com you know where i'd like to people who look exactly alike are dating now it's reality finally i've been waiting see i've heard that a little creepy i mean if you have your weird little fetishes then sure why not make it easier for people with similar fetishes to find each other i guess that's what isn't craigslist you guys and just going to talk about comic books because it's supposed to be shameful and doesn't the principle of dating that we're supposed to be a pup who are people that you know we've. got to make you cool is your harmless militarist and her little eccentricities that's a special everybody ok doubt very quickly let's just talk a little crap on john boehner the orange man because i love doing it so much he's really attacked the obama administration for all the pomp and circumstance here in washington d.c. especially with state dinners but it turns out he bought any kids lessons for
6:57 pm
a lot of his staff. i don't know i guess it's a good thing that he registered early because you saved the taxpayer five hundred bucks i also think that the triple c. might have some problems on his hands of that's the dirtiest thing they can find on mr boehner well i think my favorite part is you know he was all like oh no the pomp and ridiculousness you know real people i want real people in the real people come in and they offend everyone so we have to give them adequate class says you know it's a really big problem i think that we just need to kick everybody out everybody needs to have no class and then we've got a great government you know out everybody just learn a little manners and if that means republicans aren't allowed then so be it thanks guys friday sure yours are no different nights show thanks for tuning in makes you come back on monday we'll have a representative from the pirate party of massachusetts on the program discuss their platform and what they hope to accomplish now in the meantime don't forget to become a fan of the lower show on facebook and of follow us on twitter and if you missed any of the night's show or any other nights you can always catch all the q-q.
