elect russia intervened to protect its citizens that are going to be a nice segue recipe to try to regain control of its former republic. and now back to part two of the with a report on the rise of internet prosecution withhold economic times forcing many college students into the world's oldest profession so stay tuned. it's time for you said it i read it take time to respond to my brilliance and engaging viewer comments from 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 alona what you're reading off you don't even know what you are saying you're just reading off of the teleprompter that your master writers 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 puppet 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 puppet master whose words appear in the teleprompter just my words that i've written sorry just point out 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 segment 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 alison said i love you and 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 that 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 keep 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. now 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 everett howard went into cardiac arrest after being struck by a stun gun while at 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 if they were responding to an assault call when they encounter this young man they say that when howard

approached he had his fists drawn but no weapons at that point 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 us an atty in quieter inquire of the team had also been shocked 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 in 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. and police have placed officer on leave in two internal investigations are underway the second investigation is trying to determine why a nine one one call was placed and if an assault had actually taken place this is

because the police never found an assault victim at the scene and no arrests were made this is just yet another case but highlights the need for a frank discussion about taser use here in the us a two thousand and eight report from amnesty amnesty international found that three hundred and fifty one taser related deaths happen 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 that are 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. now the other week we spoke about sugar babies sugar daddies and sugar mommies if you missed that 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 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 and 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 you 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 sex 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 the more important question is why as a society are we fixated on moralizing sex what i think you make a really good point there because you know like i said this these websites 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 uptick 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 do 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 bad and 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 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 why'd 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 it was a very straightforward you sit down and he gives you can actually gives you

a credit card and then go to the house. you know it really varied 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 met a 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 whether that means that you meet a person and you're handed 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 pay me cash out 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 by thing 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 a few sugar sugar mommies i guess is what they call them on these websites would say you know what do you think of that says about the culture why aren't 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 we're you know it all has to do with how we're conditioned by society and traditionally. let's face it the man has been irresponsible 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 too 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 that says something wrong about our country though that that school is so expensive that this is what you have to do now 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 the. moral you know. evolution 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 ever worked out for them if 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 seeking 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. now melanie

laugh it just have to ask you and obviously you're on t.v. talking about this so it's not something you're you're ashamed to say mean your family knows that you tried to go seek in an arrangement with some with an older richer man yes definitely i've always been pretty forthright about what i you know 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 very entertaining piece to 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. now still to come i think for the war in afghanistan is really only going on for just a couple more on that night time award and then and 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. wealthy british style it's time to.

market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with my next concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to conjure reports . this is a cable from the u.s. embassy in colombo to talk about here an apparent june seventh incident of extrajudicial executions the military according to the press but on that day they told nine guerrillas in combat to desiccation right. and then strongly suggest however that the nine were executed by the army and then dressed in military force . oh you know this kind of phenomenon where bodies are dressed up as gorillas and presented as killed in action and this and this idea that you need to produce these

actually encouraged paramilitary collaboration this is a cia document central intelligence agency they knew about these activities they knew they were happening about links to paramilitary groups and yet. usaid continued to. critique take three. three. three. three stooges. video for your media project a free media. hard

soft side still time award and tonight's it goes to senator john mccain now the arizona republican was on meet the 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 we're in the ten years thing the fact is that we've only had assured for a couple of years now the president announced it as you know what west point so we've had a very short time there's no. i'm sorry that i was here john mccain correctly is he insinuating that the war in afghanistan is really only been going on for three years can't know now is dr mccain but so are you can't simply claim with the war started it when it's convenient for your particular stance see this october seventh the u.s. will mark the ten year anniversary of this war ten long costly years mccain is now saying that this war only started with the search instead of the mccain as a decorated war vet he will sell it as a p.o.w.

in north vietnam for five years he is entitled to speak his mind but it's 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 non-war or maybe americans who have had billions of their taxpayer dollars spent and golf like that mccain is trying to erase from history now is 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 now during the same eight year period and 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 a civilian death toll and injuries the numbers are all over the board and it's believed to be in the tens of thousands but everyone disputes everyone else's numbers and two thousand and nine when obama ordered more troops to the region the u.n. said the twenty four hundred. civilians have been killed 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've been 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 here really believe the first eight years of the war don't count and that's why we're giving arizona senator john mccain tonight's tool time award.

ok it's time for happy hour tonight and joining me this evening is r.t. correspondent christine and anthony rand 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 they're upset with the economy and it leaves people to start asking some questions which i think are just kind of stupid questions bill maher when i hadn't talked about this one take a look i think hillary would have been better having lived through b.j. dizzee address. and impeachment and all of that she would never of thought like obama seems to think that he could win them over negotiate with him she would have don't you know i mean she would she knows how to deal with difficult men. i have a few problems with bass and i'll tell you why because yes we can talk about hillary and how she's a ballbuster oh 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 are you just trying to sell us live 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 once they get to that seat and i think obama is a perfect example of that so why ask how we think hillary clinton may have acted but that really surprised us all because she was acting completely different i mean because it makes for great television. maybe or maybe happy hours in washington d.c. where where else is like out there so you have. a conversation fundamentally we all they are going to have here you know in washington d.c. or a big time talk show host because it's impossible to know one way or the other 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 hate his 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 blown up in his face even though to an extent he was very naive about that concept and what it meant to work with people he has done his darndest to work with the republicans regardless of outrageous their policies of 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 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 find a very truly great point there and thirty because she's a lot more hawkish than obama is are just taking us way down the bush road again when it comes to you know wars and all that stuff so i think it probably would've been worse than hillary you are bitter about the wars in the show today their everyday life why not be bitter is an important topic and i'm angry about it but

you know we also think kanye west who feels so misunderstood in this cruel cruel world take a look at what he said recently. oh just. right. here we are asking this really really do you think he actually mean least 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 walked down the street looked at hitler and thought that guy's crazy they were all scared of him and it's ridiculous to me what this is the question of happy hours outside of washington d.c. . or at least a different neighborhood perhaps or maybe this is. the kind the being kanye 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 unlike hitler so i think. 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 be back in the spotlight i think is so talented and it's very hard for me because i love his music and i love it he does but he's so self-righteous and i mean i think he also said he has the ego i know you read he talked about being the michael jordan of you know rap and transforming and he just thinks he's the most amazing person and he is talented but like have a little humility i.e. i totally agree that cover was part of like a ten minute sob you know you want it wasn't just that it was in the clip it's like forever yeah well the funny things he was that he says that he feels like he's going to be vindicated by history and that hitler has nothing really good by

history to be so i don't know how to get a better example of their economy if you're going to be such a egomaniac. now let's take a look. newsweek brand new cover girl it's. going to be a lot of play this is just cracking up first of all it's 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 michelle bachmann looks surprised to be on. 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 a face that she makes i guess a lot but it's so scary to see i mean she's it looks like she's like that's what this is but you know if you don't lose this captures michele bachmann her finest if you remember her. got the crazy eyes and she never looks at the camera. with the bubble she's staring off camera north or whatever it is this is you know

this is this is an irish i'm sorry the absence of michele bachmann or this is just the same person that has them hold it like some whole conspiracy against her that's always trying to make her look the other way or probably with the photographer that . look up what you want to be behind a little bit of it isn't the glenn beck cover or he was sort of you know freaking out and crying i don't know you know those on the cover of newsweek this is a conspiracy right wing. i think it's not simply crazy you know she's definitely not that much to say about that. this one is interesting there's a new study from the american psychological association and it's on sex and they've decided that more gender equality leads to more sex and it's kind of interesting they made it like a you know supply and demand thing they looked at universities they're 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 guy so i guess that means more girls are putting out you know they're becoming easy so if you're a dude. check out the ratio right the generation before you want to go and compared it 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 having 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 eighty's hundreds early one nine hundred women were only allowed to have sex with their husbands once a week they were out to stop them after that and so to get out their rage and to get out their aggression men went hunting and so it told him that i need to do what i what i. did you know no such there was once a week a bunch of men went off and. they got their aggression with their shotguns but the prize the point as you know was it was received body language doesn't have any last words if you've got a. more power to women. and we use this here ok guys thanks for joining me tonight
