you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for like sleep you think you understand it and then a glimpse something else and you hear see some other part of it and realize that everything is ok and you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. see. the yard. and you know. food food food. food that's.

the same. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right here in the lead i think iraq even funny well. whenever the government says they're going to keep you safe get ready because you give them their freedom.

it's time for you said it i've read it takes time to respond to my brilliance and engaging viewer comments on facebook twitter and you tube because when you've got something to say i listen now first i'd like to respond to a very kind viewer who commented on my fireside friday about defense cuts last week i r x i said a load of what you're reading off you don't even know what you are saying you're just reading off the teleprompter that your master writer is set up for you i bet that after this show you will forget what you were talking about until you read again what you were saying you effing actor now i think i recognize is a little confused about a few things first of all i wrote every word of what i said there's no master writer or puppet master whose words appear in the teleprompter just my words that i've written sorry to disappoint the entire point of fireside friday is for me to be able to communicate as simply and directly with my audience as possible something that i'm personally very passionate about and i take it seriously so my

words are my own accept it and yes i use a teleprompter for that statement but sorry ladies and gentlemen but memorization skills are just not that great and i want to respond to a viewer who commented on my interview with an experience last week on the potential for an american spring to come to the us and he joined alice and said i love you anna well for all those out there that love and i have good news for you you're not going to be seeing her on the program once a week and you'll be able to see me with an eye on the young turks university tomorrow and finally i want to give my viewers a heartfelt thank you for all the positive feedback i've received from my interview with brian lamb which aired on c.-span last night i was a little nervous about being in the hot seat so i'm very glad that you all enjoyed getting to know me a little better and all the people out there who just heard about the show for the first time from watching that interview he watching are really happy that you can join us now if you missed the interview make sure to watch it online at q. and a or that's it for today's ranting and i have more for you later in the week.

and we often talk about stories of police involved incidents that appear to go over the line and tonight sadly we have yet another one for you a young man planning to leave for college in just a few weeks is the latest person here in the u.s. to die after being tasered by police over the weekend ever howard went into cardiac arrest after being struck by a stun gun on the university of cincinnati and how it was attending a summer school program that would have given him a jump start on college classes this fall police say that they were responding to an assault call when they encounter this young man and they say that when howard approached he had his fists drawn but no weapons at that point an officer used his taser sending an electric shock of up to fifty thousand volts into howard's body and police say the eighteen year old fell down and became unresponsive after being rushed to the hospital in cincinnati he was pronounced dead now today the county coroner told the cincinnati enquirer inquirer that he had also been shot with a stun gun and then rushed to a hospital last year but he wouldn't give any other details in that case so the

young man's mother says that her son was so looking forward to leaving for college and just a few weeks. i think. we're. going to be leaving in two weeks school i want to know what happened i want somebody to tell me what happened. now police have placed the officer on leave and she were internal investigations are underway a second investigation is trying to determine why a nine one one call was placed and if an assault actually taken place this is because the police never found an assault victim at the scene and no rest from eight this is just yet another case the highlights the need for a frank discussion about taser use here in the us a few thousand a report from amnesty international found that three hundred and fifty one taser related deaths happened in the u.s. between june of two thousand and one and august of two thousand and eight that's a rate of just slightly above four deaths per month and there is no need for people to be losing their lives that way it's time for

a wake up call for police and the makers of tasers of course police taser manufacturers will argue until the cows come home that their guns save lives because officers are not using weapons that fire bullets hit by using a taser on ever howard the police didn't save a life they killed a teenage boy who was unarmed there was no immediate threat to the lives of the police officers police officers should be able to handle disarming an eighteen year old boy without the use of a taser and that's the end of the story. and now the other week we spoke about sugar babies sugar daddies and sugar mommies knocking this i've been so let me explain a lot of websites out there that connect wealthy individuals male and female with younger individuals male and female looking for someone to help them out financially and the exchange probably depends on the relationship but i think it's safe to say that it's at least companionship in most cases sex so these websites existed for a number of years but with the tough economy the numbers are shooting up one site

called seeking arrangement claims to have eight hundred thousand members now and about thirty five percent of those they say are students trying to pay their way through school so is this prostitution is a wrong and what does it say about our country when so many young people mostly women feel that it's the only thing they can turn to joining me from our studio in new york is writer melanie burley yet who documented her own experience using seeking arrangement for vanity fair melanie i want to thank you for joining us tonight and like i said you you tried this out so i just want to know you know how did you how did you feel about it is this prostitution but just with the cuter name well you know my feeling when it comes to human relationships is that there are always economic undercurrents when it comes to companionship and sacks there's always something being exchanged whether it's a meal of back massage or you know a diamond engagement ring so the lines are definitely blurry and for me even more

important question is why as a society are we fixated on moralizing sex. well i think you make a really good point there because you know like i said this these web sites have been around for awhile you actually wrote about this in two thousand and ten but now now they seem to be seeing such an uptake in customers and especially young students everybody wants to debate again and ask if it's right or if it's wrong so after going through yourself do you think that it's totally fine to you would you encourage you know other women to look for sugar daddies. i think it all depends on an individual situation i've never been in the business of batting good so i would never outright say that it is either good or bad i think that. what you spoke to in regards to the economy makes total sense need to definitely breeds you know flexibility in a person's boundaries probably so i'm not surprised to hear that the interest is

increasing currently and as you said also it it's always been present and it will always be present the internet has just created of white spread platform and easier access for people on either end who are interested in such relationships to be paired together so tell us more about the relationships that you actually had or the men that you encountered when you went out i guess trying to trying to go seeking arrangement and looking for money i mean it was a very straightforward you sit down and he gives you can actually give you a credit card and then go to the house. you know it really buried a whole slew of different kinds of men my experiences were checkered i met people who totally misrepresented themselves as i'm sure you know happens on any internet dating site and i'm that total gentlemen who. you know i count as friends to this day and i think each relationship depends upon the two parties involved the site

sort of encourages you to outline the terms on your own but that means that you meet a person and you're handed cash mediately or in one case i was given an i pod for some reason when i sat down to brunch and that was a welcome gift but certainly not part of the deal so. you know i had guys who wanted to take me shopping and lavish me with gifts but not right because i suppose they had some sort of personal boundary for one reason or another so it totally depends on each individual's desire in how to manage the relationship i think now overall though the ratio i think is about ten to one in terms of the sugar babies that people are looking for cash on these websites versus those that are willing to dole it out and i also know there's many more women that are the ones looking for cash there are few sugar sugar mommy is i guess what they call them on these

websites but you know what do you think about the culture why aren't you guys lining up to try to find wealthy older women to take care of them or pay their way through school. you know that's a very good point and i don't know i think you know it all has to do with how we're conditioned by society and traditionally. let's face it the man has been responsible in most cases for providing whereas the woman has had a different role traditionally so i think that's just a natural extension of the way things have been operating for years i'm sure a lot of men have personal hang ups and might very well like to earn cash for dating but perhaps are prevented just because they're timid now if we bring this back to the economy because you and i have just been discussing how this is existed for a long time you could say that there are a lot of relationships out there you know where people are accused of being gold diggers and whatnot but now that we see this huge spike in people one of the

websites or seeking arrangement specifically has eight hundred thousand members now and young people are just doing this to try to pay their way through school do you think it says something wrong about our country though that that school is so expensive that this is what you have to do you know no i don't think there's anything wrong with our country i think people are probably more aware of the phenomenon because it's becoming increasingly popular it's just getting more and more press i don't know and certainly the economy is breeding the desire for women saddled with student loans to try this but i don't think it's a statement about you know. moral you know i've aleutian of the nation at all now since you wrote this piece back in two thousand and ten and you followed up with anyone else that you met any other women that were sugar babies and looking for sugar mommies and daddies and seen if any of

those experiences are worked out for them as they would have a long meeting full relationship from this. you know i do not know any other women you know personally who have used it in arrangement however i will say that i have a lot of friends who have accepted very pricey diamond engagement rings from their fiance and i'm not sure how to differentiate between the two all the time and i would challenge people to consider the difference if there is one now melania laugh it is have to ask him and obviously you're on t.v. talking about this so it's not something you're you're ashamed of missing your family knows that you tried to go seeking an arrangement with some with an older richer man yes definitely i've always been pretty forthright about what i you know in my life and my beliefs and my convictions and i've never shied away from sharing that with my parents or anyone else quite frankly great well we thank

you for for sharing your experience with us too and it's definitely a very entertaining piece too to read about your experiences there in vanity fair and it looks like a lot of other people are trying that out to melanie thanks for joining us tonight thank you a lot. also becomes a thing for the war in afghanistan is really only going on further to copulate here more on that one told time award and then happy hour buyer's remorse but hillary clinton made a better president plus all eyes are on michele bachmann that newsweek cover back in just a moment. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so bleak you think you understand it and then a glimpse something else hears you some of the part of it and realize that everything is ok and you don't. charge the big picture.

of the world we are the world. and you know. let's not forget that we are quite right.

i think. well. we never got that says they're going to keep him safe get ready for freedom. ride a five a side still if i'm a warden some nights it goes to senator john it make a now the arizona republican was on at me by press on sunday and host david gregory was discussing the war in afghanistan the president's decision to begin withdrawal of the surge forces by next summer and listen to john mccain when he was asked

about this issue. well first of all in the train years thing the fact is that we've only had assured for a couple of years the president announced it as you know it wish point so we've had a very short term there's no doubt. i'm sorry that happens here john mccain correctly is he insinuating that the war in afghanistan is really only been going on for three years can no nice try mccain but so are you can't simply claim with the war started it when it's convenient for your particular stance think this october seventh the u.s. will mark the ten year anniversary of this war then along costly years became is now thing of this war only started with a search and senator mccain is a decorated war vet he was always a p.o.w. in north vietnam for five years he is entitled to speak his mind but comments come off as pretty naive in this case if mccain really thinks the war just started three years ago maybe you should tell that to the soldiers who lost their lives in the first years of this knowledge of war or maybe to the americans who have had

billions of their taxpayer dollars spent and a call like that mccain is trying to erase from history dive into those numbers in late two thousand and nine when obama ordered thirty thousand more troops to the country the congressional research service estimated the cost of the war at that time a two hundred twenty seven billion dollars barely that money doesn't count now take a look at this information from two thousand and one to two thousand and nine the u.s. lost nine hundred forty seven soldiers in the war so i wonder how these soldiers' families feel about mccain's assertion that the war is just getting started during the same eight year period an estimated forty eight hundred u.s. soldiers suffered serious injuries while fighting many lost limbs suffered brain injuries and their lives have been changed forever and that number is not counting the soldiers who were treated in the war zone and just kept on fighting and then of course there's civilian death toll in injuries and numbers are all over the board and it's believed to be in the tens of thousands but everyone does it's everyone else's numbers and two thousand and nine when obama ordered more troops to the

region the u.n. said that twenty four hundred. civilians have been killed and if you want to if you want to debate strategy you can ask why this war was a major priority you can ask why we went into iraq go ahead with that but don't disrespect those who are going to fighting this since day one so senator mccain thousands of soldiers and civilians are dead thousands more injured and billions of taxpayer dollars have been spent to really believe the person eight years of the war don't count and that's why we're getting arizona senator john mccain tonight still time award. ok time for happy hour tonight and joining me this evening is r.t. correspondent christine present and anthony rounds as our director of economic research for the reason foundation thank you for joining me. now of course there are a lot of people that are upset with obama other upset with the economy and it leads

people to start asking some questions for which i think are just kind of stupid questions bill maher went ahead and talked about this and take a look i think hillary would have been better i think he lived through e.j. dizzy dress. and impeachments and all of that she would never of still like obama seems to think that he can win them over to go shit with him she would have bill you know i mean she would she knows how to deal with difficult. i don't you problems with is and i'll tell you why because yes we can talk about hillary and how she's a ballbuster you know she is so much tougher than obama and i think there is a statement to be made there but i don't think you can actually ask would it been would have been different or would it have been better of course would have been different but would it have been better if this person was in office because. from the record if you look at obama specifically people flip flop they change completely for when they're on the campaign trail to when they get into office you have to start asking all the whys and you never really believe that really just

trying to sell us lies or just something change about you fundamentally once you're in that seat of power but you never really know how someone's going to act when they get to that seat and i think obama is the perfect example of that so why ask how we think hillary clinton may have actually been really surprised us all because she was acting completely different and this book because it makes for great television. where maybe or maybe happy hours in washington d.c. where we're also like overseas and what it is all they really is a conversation fundamentally we all we're going to have here you know in washington d.c. or a big time talk show host because it's impossible to know where my issue with this is that people seem to have this collective amnesia about obama you know love him or hate him love his policies or he does policies he never said he wasn't going to try to negotiate he always said he was going to be a little more moderate he said he was going to try to work with people and even though that's boehner and his base even though to an extent he was very naive about that concept and what it meant to work with people he has done his arm this to work

with the republicans were girls about outrageous their policies and so when people criticize him for doing that they're just not remembering what he said he would do and if you don't ask this question you have to have a definition for what better is and so if you're saying things would be better with hillary so what difference would you would you want everybody's going to have a different opinion on how how they would like the country to have gone whether or not they wanted obama to be more or less liberal and it's it's really just a big hypothetical question it's just going to very chilly there and pretty because she's a lot more hawkish and obama has already just taken us way down the bush road again when it comes to you know her words and all that stuff so i think it probably would've been worse than hillary you are bitter about the wars in the show and i am very very like right now peter is an important topic and angry about it but you know we all think kanye west feels so misunderstood in this cruel cruel world take a look at what he said recently. tell the story. right.

here we're asking this really really do you think they actually mean these things or to just say them to get attention and get people riled up of all people you think that you're hitler kanye west first of all nobody looked you know walk down the street looked at hillary and thought like ice crazy they were all scared of him and it's ridiculous to me what this is of those gushing and happy hours outside of washington d.c. . or at least a different neighborhood perhaps or maybe this is. this new day being perhaps is just just one more thing being said but really they're not the same because you know he clearly hates white blonde haired women like hitler so i think it's completely. i mean i think i think you might have a point in terms of is he just saying this to get a rise out of people does he know that when he says crazy things that even though it's negative publicity he gets

a lot of publicity for it i think one of his songs he was singing after that was talking about how he's lonely and maybe wants to back in the spotlight i think is so talented and it's very hard for me because i love his music and i love that he does but he's so self-righteous and i mean i think the other thing is that in the house that you go i know you read he started out being the michael jordan of you know around and transforming and he just thinks he's the most amazing person and he is talented but like have a little humility i totally agree that color was part of like a ten minutes. ago when i was just so that was in the clip it's like forever yeah well the funny thing is he was that he says that he feels like he's going to be vindicated by history and hitler was nothing he could get it by history so i really think the better example of their economy. egomaniac. now let's take a look at. newsweek's brand new cover girl it's. a lot of play and it's just cracking

up first of all as michele bachmann you don't know and it's called the queen of rage and the photo might seem a little displays and i think my favorite headline that i saw all day came from gawker who just said michele bachmann looks surprised to be uncomfortable because i'm sorry but i'm going to have nightmares about this this is the most frightening picture if i were her if i were her people i would be so angry that that's the picture they put on there but that is the face that she makes they get along but it's so scary to see i mean she's it looks like she's. doing you lose this captures michele bachmann her finest if you remember her. at the crazy eyes and she never looks at the camera. bogle she's staring off camera north or whatever it is and this is a this is what is and i shall carry the absence of michele bachmann or this is just the same person that has the holy like some old conspiracy against and it's always trying to make her look the other way or rather i was the photographer that i. look

up with no you know you should be behind a little bit reminiscent of the glenn beck cover where he was sort of you know freaking out and crying oh you know those on the cover of newsweek this is their stuff a conspiracy here. i think it's not actually scary they look crazy but she's definitely not have much to say about. this one is interesting there's a new study from the american psychological association and sunset sex and they decided that more gender equality leads to more sex and it's kind of interesting that they made it like a you know supply and demand thing i looked at universities that are saying that there are so many more females on college campuses these days that they have to fight a lot harder to try to get the guys so i guess that means more girls are putting out you know they're becoming easy so if you're a good. check out the ratio right the generation before you're going to go in comparative to other countries where you know the mentality isn't quite as

developed and here now that we have that sort of demystified sex in general apparently more people are happy and i've read a lot about this and i know that you know they say that one of the reasons that hunting became so popular in the united states is because men back in the late hundreds early one nine hundred women were only allowed to have sex with their husbands once a week they were had to stop them after that and so to get out their rage and to get out their aggression men went hunting and so it did that didn't need to do what i what i. did it was there are sort of there was once a week a bunch of men went off and. not only how they got their aggression with their sometimes but the prize the point i guess is you know it was receiving body language or you have any last words if you got around more power to women. and we use that here ok guys thanks for joining me tonight that's it for night's show thanks for tuning in and make sure you come back tomorrow i'll be interviewing marina live itis one of the stars of the new lifetime reality show russian dolls now in the meantime don't forget to become a fan of the a lot of show on facebook and follow us on twitter and if you missed any of
