or annoyed populace while they beef up their stockpiles and hope you don't notice that they're spending our future on mass murder machines like the u.s.s. colorado the latest nuclear powered attack submarine that was delivered to the us navy last month the fifth of eight there are even more plans to upgrade already deadly machines that can shoot twelve tomahawk missiles at a time or two really really big nukes and in case you were worried that eight of these things weren't enough it's only the beginning the united states possesses at least seventy two hundred nuclear bombs more than two thousand of them are deployed around the world and some of that seven seven hundred billion dollars congress just handed to the war department will go to perfecting and producing may be sixty one twelve g.p.s. guided steerable gravity a bomb because in a world where bombing stuff is the only answer our leaders can come up with we have to start watching the hogs. the.
10:30 am
real the. liars the part of. what they like you are going to. say i welcome everyone to watching the hot some top of the wallet and joining me from los angeles is my intrepid co-host tyro ventura and. i have a good group the world seems to be hurting right now but it but. yeah it's it's a very tough day and when you look at things like this the people that are supposed to be keeping that all in check keeping things from blowing up don't seem to be there's a huge consensus around the world community that we need less nukes that that's kind of not. really an argument from anybody else and increased spending on
10:31 am
weaponry doesn't actually keep us safe why do you think leader is continue to push these expensive and problematic weapons programs like this submarine like the gravity. why don't we do it. i guess three words i think is money money bravado and jobs is really what it is the amount of money that we spend as you mentioned earlier is staggering you know compared to what we could be spending as a superpower and you know the bravado comes in of just this idea that somehow you know that somehow the more weapons you have the same for you are which is ridiculous especially when it comes to nuclear weapons because that's what other people don't want to develop in order to potentially protect themselves in the kind of idiotic idea that if everyone is pointing nuclear weapons at each other the them are all going to be safe you know except with the moment when there's an accident
10:32 am
and one suddenly is launched or when one is actually launched and or i mean earlier this year to have a you had two former defense officials one former admiral you know pitching the white house and pitching the pentagon that they needed to make the. refit the tomahawk missiles the nuclear warhead carrying missiles like they used to back in the cold war and their idea is just to keep you know to point them all you know position the subs on the tomahawks around the world and somehow about will make the world safer no it's not you can't introduce gasoline on what already burning fire and then expect the fire to go out what that's using logic and reason and i don't know where you get these ideas sometimes tyrrel. you know i don't know i'm tall so my head's in the clouds it is then the clouds what it was glaring things about this that stuck with me is the idea that we're still spending so you want to have to three billion dollars a piece for submarines now the. glaring issue that might not be obvious and the
10:33 am
thing about these submarines is that some breeds in general are pretty outdated with the increasing use of drones either by air or eventually drones underwater or not not too far off in a new report from the british american security information council they pointed out that a cell of is only useful if it's not seen but if all you have to do when you have drones that have you know all of the not just visual capability sonar everything all they have to do is go up over and you can see it so i have to wonder is it time are these really just this parts of the past that we need to get the sort of member measuring the way of understanding that it's going to when the when the great war and my paranoid or does it just seem like these defense contractors are trying to squeeze out every last dollar out of taxpayers from taxpayers before someone figures it out. oh no it's not paranoia of again most logical. really
10:34 am
does kind of boggle the mind when you see them still pushing i mean you know these guys are so you know they get so excited for new technology to kill people but then they still love the old stuff too or let's retrofit the old stuff to make it even better to kill people in subzero dated i mean you know the hunt for red october you know the interesting thing about it is that you know if they're outdated then why build them all you know why does congress allow them to build the missile as i mentioned earlier with the jobs because when you have a massive jobs program like the one in place to build you know these implements of death what congressman is going to go home and say oh well we all you are out of work you know you're never going to you know no one's going to do that and so that's what makes this happen where they can just keep pushing out these tired you know tired cobweb. cobwebs programs of. crazy.
10:35 am
starting october first your fashion might come with a warning label new law in france requires that any and all digitally altered images used for commercial purposes be labeled with photograph the right to show a retouched photograph the last pacifically targets images altered to make it possible a model appear thinner or thicker and add to an already existing law in france that models undergo medical examinations every two years to sort of certify they're in good health with extra attention paid to their body mass and some of you're probably wondering why we would care if french models or photoshop to be skinnier than they are while we care because those on realistic images of already on realistically beautiful women and girls are contributing to the player proliferation of deadly eating disorders and mental health issues the average american woman is five foot four inches tall and weighs about one hundred forty to one hundred fifty pounds and yet the average model according to the new york better business bureau is five point nine inches tall and one hundred. ten pounds and it's
10:36 am
been getting worse for decades the nine hundred sixty eight models were a mere eight percent dinner than the average woman now they are over twenty three percent thinner than the average woman so whether it's billboards magazines or products hawked at women in men the message is about what you aren't what you don't have or what you have too much up maybe it's time we as consumers tell corporations to stop telling us what we're supposed to look like and have them start giving us what we want so tyrrel i can't imagine that men are somehow immune to the pressures of. just it's just us women who fall pressure to this obviously but that is it is it we don't think the bobette of the old know exactly what it will there's a lot of statistics specially on body image it's normally focused on women but since this are estimating that anywhere from one to ten million american men are suffering from some form of anorexia or believe is that pressure on men coming from the same place as it is when men do young men look at you know the football players
10:37 am
and they is. you know popstars was bigger it seemed really good people talk about it no they don't and i you know i was there for that kind of great shift in you know giving mending this idea about there in the you know i want to say it happened in kind of the late ninety's early two thousand is when you suddenly had like men's magazines like you know maximum f.h. with all of that basically adopting the same model that like cosmo and all of them used which was you know make the reader feel completely inadequate because then they got to buy your magazine so you can tell them how to be a better lover but you've got only totally dressed them down first it's like oh well you know you're too fat you're too skinny you're too hairy you don't work out you don't know how to please your wife or girlfriend and bad but let us tell you how to keep buying the magazine so you see the advertisements in the magazine but also show you what you know the quote unquote quintessential males would look like and so i think yeah there definitely was a shift i mean you saw it like g.q.
10:38 am
all of them shipped to this mentality that was beating women down mentally for years they then kind of turns out for men and you saw it drastically happen that's where it kind of the idea of metrosexual came from which is funny i mean this is not what we meant by equality just ask why i was not make men feel just as out of redo because i think that something that gets lost is this idea of of what we're supposed to look like in a in a world where you're looking at one in two hundred american women suffers from anorexia two in three women two to three and a hundred american women suffer from believe mia and overweight women and men are usually the muscle likely to suffer from these things people you know who are in that obese or almost obese area and sort of know the pressure so i wonder what you think because i wonder if this obsession with obesity this sort of the war against obesity and that how much of that has backfired into an obsession that now children
10:39 am
and young adults men and women are starting to feel like. now now they're going to things like analysts anorexia believe me i just so they're not opiates because it's so scary when you think about that. what it's like this is like rather than have actually like you know help feed our kids and kind of rein in the people responsible responsible for obesity in america which is you know your soft drink companies your candy companies and all that and that kind of you know constant advertising the kids you know. let me pack it full of sugar and get you addicted to sugar like rather than go after that it seems like we kind of have this mentality that like well let's blame the victim. and was all their fault and then that does sink in and i always look at it like this kind of thing tab and you know we've talked about before i look at it as if you're happy in your own body no matter how how how you look you're going to naturally look better rest you know it all it's all in how you believe in yourself right that's what's going to self confidence is
10:40 am
what's going to bring people and make you more attractive but you're right there is a horrible bias we have in this country against anyone who doesn't fit a certain mold and then rather than kind of going after the actual culprits of that which is advertising and you know the people feeding us junk and you know and then cutting the school lunch programs and you know cutting things that keep kids healthy cutting gym programs or things like that because we see that on the table all the time you know we kind of turn them in the well it's their fault for being overweight and they better fix the problem and hey by the way i have a pill that you can take the problem out of our message here big fashion big everything that you know at the end of the day i think you know it's in the right direction what france is doing are saying at least be honest about it it's advertising but i think we need to be better at teaching our young men and women both that those images it's just those people don't even look like that and we have to learn how to love how different we are thank you so much for coming from l.a.
10:41 am
just chatting with me i really appreciate it tyrrell ventre i watch from a. way i think out of my cock watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of a topic that covered on facebook and twitter shows at r.t. dot com coming up the latest from the tragic shooting in las vegas and a model makes history for women of a certain age they tend to watch and. economic development is all about numbers really pleased to report this quarter we earned one hundred six point. but what do we know about the other figures. when i think about the fact that our c.e.o. mike du made over twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand
10:42 am
times the average wal-mart a says c.n.n. . with all due respect i have to say i don't think that's right. is that just you know a free market would. people went from pretty simple financial lives pre nine hundred eighty to the point now where people are. just totally submerged in their financial accounts and they're all in debt and what exactly devoid society from the part of the government tried to do that nicely mr. markham a few things worse. by saying this is not hard work this is lose one goes to sleep disastrously wrong. time safe is it talk to folks over there that was always the number one concern the curse of oil because of price would go up and you'd get lazy and not diversified because you are making huge
10:43 am
gains on the oil price went down you know you need to pump more. well to get over the panic so the diversification of russian economy never came but these sanctions forced diversification some thank you very much to sanctions. in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington controls the media the media control over the voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before.
10:44 am
the only. good. of the group. to start this week america woke up to shocking headlines and terrifying videos out of las vegas perched in a thirty second floor room of the mandalay bay resort stephen paddick opened fire on a crowd of over twenty thousand country music lovers gathered for a concert with an arsenal of at least ten weapons at his disposal some of them automatic paddick unleashed volley after volley killing well over fifty people and leaving several hundred wounded and injured before taking his own life as law
10:45 am
enforcement continues to investigate the shooter's means and motives las vegas and the rest of the nation and has a long period of mourning and soul searching recovering as best we can and processing the surreal devastation paddick single handedly inflicted on so many on the ground artist natasha suite has more on how las vegas is dealing with the events of last night hi natasha thank you for joining us today. you. know it's hard to process that the enormity of what took place at the level of carnage. committed by just one person from from a hotel room what kind of reaction have we had you been seeing on the ground. well you know as you can imagine people are absolutely horrified in the energy here is not your to. by that a lot of people come to las vegas to find i mean just if you can imagine children waking up today who no longer have a mother or father because they went to that country concert last night and just to
10:46 am
you know kind of put it into perspective for you about what exactly unfolded let's take a listen to what a security guard said right before the shooting that took place take a listen. take you. walk away so much holds the charm i'm glad because i. know where i was supposed to be standing actually make it was in front of the mainstay of the jury. i loved my post and i remember walking towards my friends when i heard the first round of gunshots and i thought to myself it was the music when the second round of
10:47 am
gunshots and it was clear that it was gunshots and it wasn't the music messy or. well tabitha i mean lucky for him that he wasn't where he was supposed to be but unfortunately fifty nine others now is the new death toll number we're so lucky immediate aftermath of the shooting there were numerous reports that conflict at each other which is normal in their situations about the gunman and background and possible motive what do law enforcement agents actually know about him at this point. so right now we do know that he is the sixty four year old retired community he was living in misc eat he actually has a pilot license two planes a hunting license in alaska now he doesn't have any criminal ties per se but he does have. very large background of a gambling problem and so he would spend up to ten thousand twenty thousand even thirty thousand dollars a day here in las vegas casinos and so that's something that authorities are
10:48 am
certainly looking into at the moment and it's interesting padlocks brother or has been speaking out and giving some media interviews and you know he said that he knew that his brother was into gambling for fog but had no idea that he could do something of this magnitude of actually killing people but let's take a listen to a very defensive exchange that he had take a listen. to this coming. there's absolutely no i'm not even going to answer that question there's i've already told. there's you know it's like a asteroid fell out of the sky. if it has troy to film right here you would still be exact same way as i feel right now there's no no logic no reach for me or my brother would have done. it there's no no. there's no it doesn't i mean i could let you look at the texts i mean.
10:49 am
so defensive indeed interesting only enough products father according to the f.b.i. had actually rob several banks and was on the most wanted list. it's it's so strange when these things happen when you try to make sense of everything there's also been you know recent isis propaganda videos you know showing. that it was a target some people you know tried to they tried to claim all of that and i think what we'll learn in the in the days and weeks to come about what happened the most important thing for a lot of people to understand is just focus on helping the people that were injured not get too obsessed with trying to sort of figure out all those pieces and really just try to be there for people in the las vegas community thank you so much for giving us the latest from there on the ground thank you so much natasha sweet.
10:50 am
and the national security agency earned the public's attention following and snowden's revelations about the agency's intrusive surveillance methods but what isn't covered as extensively are the internal cronyism and politics that enable these arguably unlawful tactics karen stewart is a twenty eight year veteran of the intelligence community with having served with distinction as a linguistics officer in the n.s.a. but after blowing the whistle on what she claims were internal malpractises and harassment stuart saw her last race career suddenly over to previously join sharon stone to discuss the culture of entry at the n.s.a. and she shared with us the specifics. but what ultimately led to your breakthrough realizing that. enough was enough for that you had to start to make reports to supervisors and try to basically alleviate your situation but it only got worse well it turns out that the best work of my career ended my career. i had actually been writing reports in and doing research and writing reports in support of
10:51 am
operation. freedom while i was at the weapons and space directorate and i found that a foreign entity was selling g.p.s. jammers to iraq is just before the americans planned to invade and that would have put the american weaponry into. basically what they would have gone off off course and killed a lot of people that they didn't intend to so i found out about who was selling it to iraq you know the details of this type of jammer in order to inform the military the pentagon and other entities that this did exist it was a danger it was a threat to operation iraqi freedom and it was going to people killed who would not necessarily otherwise have been harmed so i did about six months of reporting and that engendered a over the two hundred person team effort to. evaluate these g.p.s.
10:52 am
jammers and for them so at the end of that time we did have you know we did have a successful in nation of. iraq and very few casualties and my supervisors told me that my reports were probably responsible for saving two thousand or more lives you know during operation iraqi freedom so i was very pleased with that i thought that was great that i could save lives. but a few months after that and two that was about two thousand and three or so and two thousand and four two thousand and five i started getting told by a woman who was on the promotion board in the weapons to space directorate she said will she question me about what it was that i did on what ultimately came to be known as my project because it was my reports that engendered it and i told her and she said well she said well the head of weapons in space and your own technical director basically came to the promotion board and told us that all the work that
10:53 am
you did was done by another woman entirely and we ended up giving her a. promotion well i was. to say the least i was very shocked and i was very hurt and i couldn't believe that i had been betrayed like that and i started asking questions and because i didn't know the woman who had sought me out out from the from the promotion board so i started asking a few questions and then all of a sudden my technical lead who was this woman's best friend actually she suddenly started to accuse me of leaking something that i had never even heard of it turned out to be a an article that was in the baltimore sun that was a huge article and had to do with an essay computer problems well i'm not a computer person i mean i use a computer for somebody this is a hammer i'm not a now married with them i'm not fascinated with them they're a tool. and this report would have required me to have a computer science background which i in the don't in the least have i mean i
10:54 am
graduated from florida state university with a major in a foreign language and a coma major or minor in fine art so i'm very very right brained not very left brained at all so this this report in the newspaper was a very much computer science and i asked the woman she had screamed the accusation across the room when i came in to the office one morning she said hey karen you're you're. you're big your article about n.s.a. computer problems is in the baltimore sun and of course i had no idea what she was talking about so i went over to ask her and after she had screamed this bizarre accusation then she whispered to me she said oh i was just kidding. which made no sense at all so i go back to my desk and within fifteen twenty minutes or so i'm called down to n.s.a. security and their toll they basically tell me. that i have to have a polygraph. and so i was rather annoyed because i knew why because the false
10:55 am
accusation so i went ahead and went back with joe who was the polygraph examiner to he took me in a back room in a back hall where there were multiple rooms because they basically do polygraphs every five years to make sure you haven't done something terrible that they need to know of so we went back in the hall and began waiting outside the room and i couldn't really understand why we just stood there waiting outside the room. until you know i heard a couple of the people in the hall go into the rooms and we were alone in the hole and i thought will surely will go in now and at that point in time he looked around saw that there was nobody in the hole and then got in my face and started screaming at me which absolutely totally shocked me. as women age we're shoved into the periphery pushed to the side by a younger fresher newer faces today we are relevant and that no one cares about our voices stories and loves most importantly our fashion choices but this week the

10:58 am

10:59 am
hundred eighty to the point now where people are. just totally submerged in their financial accounts and they're all in debt and what exactly devoid society. the part of the government try to do both nationally maybe. it might be making things worse. by saying this is not how capitalism works. hopelessly disastrously wrong here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us a full on awesome well the only show i go out of my way to look at you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it's the john oliver of r t america is doing this and you know apparently better than food that i see people you never heard of love redacted tonight the president of the world bank though. on the right me seriously send us
