2:33 pm
conversation has been replaced by the 5 2nd sound bite and partisan name calling but in today's world of rising tensions between nuclear armed superpowers and climate catastrophe knocking on all our doors we need healthy political discussion in the exchange of ideas now more than ever so today hawk watchers it's time to push back against all the click bait ranting and raving on the other news broadcast as we bring you a gallery of guests and topics to bring you a better perception and perspective of your world today because it's time to put dialogue over debate and start watching the hawks. like you that i got.
2:34 pm
going on watching. for and today we're going to put dialogue over debate as tablet than i bring you 2 distinct and informative discussions between topics and guests unique to our political viewpoints and personalities starting with my very own perception and perspective now let's start the real. you've got to be a thinker not a stinker org watchers but with the skyrocketing costs of higher education here in the united states and out of control student loan debt spine actually crushing 2 generations the gen xers and the millennial is being a thinker just might be too expensive student debt has gotten so bad that this week at morehouse college graduation ceremonies in atlanta georgia billionaire investor robert smith announced
2:35 pm
a grant to pay off the graduating class of 40000000 in student loan debt and speaking of golden gifts from on high this week also saw the controversial now former mayor of chicago and new liberal golden boy rahm emanuel awarded 2 prime time post male role gigs and journalism contributing editor at the atlantic and a.b.c. news contributor because you know rahm has such a long and extensive career in journalism not really so a student loan skyrocketing and rahm emanuel contributing let's introduce our panel for today joining me is author and speaker dee watkins r t america producer brant bora and host of the world according to jess the former minnesota governor jesse ventura thank you everybody for joining me i want to i want to start with you governor what what does this say about the state of student loan debt in this country when billionaires are shelling out 40000000 just to cover 400 students student debt. unbelievable i didn't think anything could be worse than the
2:36 pm
actual government debt but this could rally and be right there with it it's scary you know when i was young i had a decision to make whether i was going to go to school or not a high school i chose to go in the military for the reason that when i got out i would then have the benefit of the g.i. bill and at that time you could actually go to school on the g.i. bill and probably not incur much. because you already served 4 years but another thing needs to be talked about in this situation and that is this what's with the money in the colleges and that and universities when they can spend $90000000.00 for a football coach. that needs to be looked at to within the university and college systems that's a great point to bring up and i'll throw it over to you going to be a brand like i mean one of university can spend $90000000.00 that was clumsily on a head coach for a football program and yet they're polunin $40000000.00
2:37 pm
a year just morehouse not some and that's just more house call you know you know how ridiculous should be universities be like condemned i mean don't they have enough money to survive at this point that they shouldn't have that student loan $80000000.00 for a football coach but they also don't pay the players and they say they're giving them a free education but you can't really enjoy a free education because you have to practice x. amount of times a day you have to travel with the team you don't really get a chance to have a real college experience out of you know i agree with the governor i think this i think it's crazy at a point i would make the d.s. point on this as well is and remember if you're a student athlete great in high school you get that scholarship you break your leg mid year well guess what the next year you don't have that scholarship anymore so you're not getting that free education they make it straight out of school but let's also look at those guys guys guys i'm not just talking about the student athlete all that how can the universities have that kind of money available divan
2:38 pm
to pay this like in minnesota i as governor of the state made 120000 a year i think the governor now makes 150 yet the football coach at the university of minnesota makes 3 and a half 1000000 a year now who has more responsibility the governor or the football coach so we as a society have got to start looking at things and places of higher learning. to start stepping in and looking at things were some commonsense thrown in and that may have to what about all this stuff going on with the bribery and that with these parents bribing to get their kids in school doesn't the higher education bear some of that responsibility how did they participate in accept these bribes and let these kids into school that's a great point and when you look at all crippling student debt and student loans are to this country at this point i mean you're talking 2 generations now you know with 30000 you know on average about 37000 parce student is walking around trying to pay
2:39 pm
that off the rest of their lives you know elizabeth warren and bernie sanders of both many other people on the campaign trail this year for president put out like hey we need student debt forgiveness we need to do all this should we 1st make universities clean up their own accounting if they're willing to splurge all this money but before we start talking about loan forgiveness i'll start with you guys at the table brett and i would say i mean absolutely they need to clean up all of the in-house issues that they have i mean however we do have to look at the fact that we have $1.00 trillion dollars in student debt out there right now i mean millennialist i have seen this happen over and over again and i think since the 2008 recession they've realized that this is a problem we're going to have to live with over and over again in the debt world and it's also like that $1.00 trillion dollar number is a 10 minute thing it's making people not even want to go to school and then if you do go to school what's going to be waiting for me on the other side of that in a big mountain of debt yeah that's a great point that's a really good point just
2:40 pm
a final. well and look at the fact who do they have as a role model the government and how far in depth is the government right now. great point great point i want to i want to move on now to one of our favorite politicians watching the hawks one the one and only rahm emanuel who i mentioned earlier rahm was essentially chased out of the city of chicago for his handling of the little con macdonald case the police shooting case and now after years of being a political insider obama's chief of staff senior let us head buys into bill clinton he's now a journalist. look. i guess the question is you know what message is the atlantic and a.b.c. sending other journalists and everyone else when they're giving someone like rahm emanuel someone who left chicago mayor basically was chased out of the mayor slugger didn't run again because of all the controversy the i ask you as a journalist and writer what what message is the atlantic and a.b.c.
2:41 pm
sending by hiring him. specially as mayor of chicago. was really really good at telling the truth and now he's a profession where you're supposed to only tell the truth so i'm excited what's going to happen with this brand new career and i you know it just makes me follow the talented journalists who are out there trying to find work and you have these people who are able to just use their big money friends the connections to get these jobs that people fight years and years and years to get thing thoughts and going to say a.b.c. has already made their bed i don't know if you remember this but they hired chris christie and not exactly a guy known for truth telling not a guy known for not be staying out of controversy and i got a note for not coming up late shootings and blocking big bridges over bridges for political expediency so i mean the fact is a.b.c. kind of already has been under control just i want to ask you an interesting thing
2:42 pm
that comes out of this we see this more and more what are your thoughts on rahm and this kind of the i guess what is it a turning door the. the round up of spinning doors from from politics right in the media. well that and all the other experts that are stepping in now you've got people lifetime cia people you've got all these government people slowly with the takeover of the broadcast media to where they're the ones offering the expertise on everything and they're the ones off from offering the standard story for everything because that's what they come out of remember to everyone here remember this and keep this in mind mainstream media is no longer in the information business that are in the entertainment business so maybe rahm emanuel is hell of a guy they have for ratings because that's what they're looking that who can sell and who can make money for them because he has he had what to say about jesse small
2:43 pm
that he had to say about the kwame battle and this is like the actor who plays that would have on television versus a kid who really lost his life because the police violence in just a piggyback off of what the governor said you know i've you know i have michael steele who used to be lieutenant lieutenant governor of my home state of maryland on other networks and like i've never saw him make a valid point about anything ever and he has like a 10 year career now well it feels like a lot of the political discussion on network you know cable news networks all that with the you know with bringing these guys like just who are saying swarm of cia former state politicians i see the need because they're supposed to bring in expertise level like you would say have a former n.b.a. player on if you are going to. you know blood is just you make a good point brett is in many of these guys now clouding yeah because he's making a great point because there are people that i mean they're not like related to network so we see people like larry wilkerson who's a great truth teller who has been in those positions who will call out the establishment maybe see 5 percent of these generals cia guys who end up on the
2:44 pm
mainstream networks and you only see about 5 percent of them ever actually standing up to what the status quo is they're just giving the same talking points it's a. they still work in the pentagon who a lot of us n.b.a. players with commentary actually used to be good at that. time with these people you know some of these people are really you know and at one part of it says something he was a good player to listen somebody is guys not so good it is i think it it is kind of creating and i think jesse made a really good point there it's more about entertainment than getting you know information out and getting people talking than been bringing the viewer something to chew on. and tyrrell it's also carrying the water for the government's position these are all people that are pro-war they're the people that fight they go the generals and all that stuff well what do you think they're going to give you for a position they're going to come in and give you the expertise of taking us to war
2:45 pm
rather than the other way that's very true well i want to thank my panel debate dee watkins. and of course jesse ventura always a pleasure having you guys watching the hawks thank you so much for coming on today thank you my pleasure all right as we go to break quackwatch is don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook you tube and twitter see our poll shows that are t.v. dot com coming up our own tabitha wallace opens the gallery for discussion with r t america correspondent sara montrose and rachel 11 stay tuned with watching the. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.
2:46 pm
max keiser one more of my guide to financial. survival this is and it's a device used by professional value x. to earn money. that's right these shows are simply not accountable and we're just getting more and more true that. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for a while because there. was . thanks i. was. was i that. that.
2:47 pm
letter. in the 19th century irish novelist margaret well hunger felt wrote beauty is in the eye of the beholder the same holds true for the news one person's good news is another person's worst nightmare but as with art the most profound moments in life happen when 2 people see something in completely different ways so let's recognize the beauty behold some truth and step into the gallery. across the globe close to $12000000.00 girls are married every year before the age of 18 these child brides are found in nearly every culture every religion every
2:48 pm
country including the united states where according to pew research almost 5 out of every 1015 to 17 year olds. are married and it's all perfectly legal in fact in the united states 17 states have no minimum age of marriage in 2 states you can get married at age 14 for states the minimum is $1520.00 states 16 and 8 states have a minimum age to be married of 17 did you also know that women married before age 18 are a 23 percent greater risk of disease onset of things like heart disease stroke diabetes they are 50 percent more likely to drop out of high school they have a 70 to 80 percent chance of getting divorced and are 3 times more likely to have been beaten by their spouses none of these facts mattered of course to the iowa state house of representatives who voted down a bipartisan bill that would have required a person to be at least 16 years of age to get married and with purse rental and
2:49 pm
judicial consent idaho house representative brian's only more defended the vote telling the idaho statesman that he does not think courts should be involved in marriage at all i don't believe there should be a license required to get married i think 2 willing people should be able to go and get married well joining me now to be in the gallery to discuss this issue and more are t. correspondent sarah montoya soca and rachel bobbins thank you so much for coming here today so tell me here's my 1st question is that there's you know here in the united states you can even sign a contract legally at. over the age of 18 so why is the book person can be sort of married off at that age and why it is up to like parents and a judge to decide these are children we're talking about here these are children who like you said don't have certain rights they can't even vote they can't join the military they can't they can drive. 16 that is but they can get married
2:50 pm
if the these children don't even have minds made up of their own and and to weed out to look at ok who are they marrying somebody a lot older but it's no one. why abuse can be very imminent in these cases because when you marry you marry a child off to somebody say that especially because it happens to be more girls or women getting married at this younger age and marrying 2 males who are dominant in control a lot older so what are we showing society that hey they're 1516 years old and i'm a parent i want to allow my child to get married i mean you can't even make your own decisions let alone one of be tied down to anybody else acts in a day without your parents' permission before a big event can be voted on to a judge to get what do you think great well and it is concerning i think one of the most concerning things to me in all of this is that it is apparent in a judge signing off on this this is not some 14 year old girl who has run away with a much older man and decide to get married this is a parent saying that they're completely fine with this and signing off on it so it
2:51 pm
does raise a lot of concerns about exactly what those parents are thinking because these children simply aren't mature as that age i know i have a sister who just turned 16 and she still is very much a kid the idea of children that age in younger being able to be married and making a decision that can impact them life long with you know whether they are abused or they're in tough cases or if they're just trying to get out of it if they're trying to get divorced i mean that is a serious commitment that they're simply not mature enough to make especially if the divorce rate is already very high if you get married young sir they say sometimes the divorce rate is a lot higher and think of how different you are when you're 18 versus even 21 alone so you get married at 16 to when you're 30 being with that person for so long i mean it power to you but i'm sure as i'm of these peoples and these poor kids who can't make decisions on their own aren't legally bound to making certain decisions on their own can go and get married i i agree with rachel it's really concerning
2:52 pm
where the parents stand and what's the reasoning that they want to marry children off right before just a letting them go they don't want to take care of them they don't want the financial responsibility i mean there could be a lot of reasons behind this. it's a child it's still a child that should be taken care of by the parents yeah and i think what we're saying is it's mostly much older men with younger women and as you're saying it's across cultures so it isn't just in you know a lot of people say you know the warren jeffs of the you know fundamentalist mormon groups that often have your marriage ok that's one example of how this is abused because they can legally say you're married to someone and the law can't do anything about it but you see it and number and number of different cultures and i think it shows what does show that things are working is that the numbers are going down there is consistently going down across the world through the work of empowering women and so i think if we empower women to have that voice and be able to know that you don't have to be married off well especially nowadays women to get
2:53 pm
married a lot older they get married a lot older sometimes later in life because they want to do so many things before settling down and so and the divorce rates are lower if you wait right so what's the odds are about are taking these rights away from these children these innocent children who don't know any better who may think well this is this is my parents are condoning this so i guess it's the right thing to do socially when they don't have it when i think i said to you we're talking about mostly little girls who are being married to older men this isn't a situation where it involves a lot of little boys too so that raises a lot of concerns true and that should make people wonder wait a 2nd why is this just happening with this specific age gap and just with much younger girls and older men and i'm glad you brought up the age because there's another story that was in the news this week about age gaps that i that i really really wanted to kind of get your get you guys those thoughts on 1990 is supercell
2:54 pm
out musician movie whose real name is richard melville hall claims that his recently released memoir then it sell a part that he was in a serious romantic relationship with natalie portman. and 1999 of course natalie portman has a slightly different take on the event telling harper's bazaar quote i was surprised to hear that he characterized a very for a short time that i knew him as dating because my recollection is a much older man being creepy with me when i just had graduated high school he said i was 20 i definitely wasn't i was a teenager i had just turned 18 we only hung out a handful of times before i realized that this was an older man who was interested in me in a way that felt inappropriate and to make sure everyone knew what a classy lad a truly is moby responded on instagram by posting this picture art from the past which i am pretty sure ladies is what you what you'll have come up if you google creepy older man younger one so he doubled down and tried to say yes we did we
2:55 pm
dated 1st i want to i want to get us out of the way the thing bothers me about the stories we have brought up is this idea of men in their mid thirty's i'm in their thirty's and forty's dating girls who are oftentimes under 25 or in this case like 181920 how that terrain they tend to gravitate toward them and he seems to be one clearly through his book mentions that gravitates toward these younger women is this sort of like i mean how you'd never have a creepy old thirty's when you were like 1819 or like this is not right. and i think a lot of groups it does if you're just specially if you're in the entertainment industry or you're going journalism but at the same time i think it's all about the intent and the structure that's there and a lot of times these older guys are wanting the younger girls because it fits their ego when they think it makes them feel strong and powerful and that kind of thing and so this definitely seems like that kind of situation where i'm concerned where he's essentially talking about how you know natalie portman said that she liked him
2:56 pm
as a musician and now all of this and he's trying to figure out a way to date her well it seems like the only thing that he likes about her is she's younger pretty and she's interest. so it doesn't seem like there's much to this potential relationship or any you know intellect there at all between the 2 of those about where this envoy from what i read along with the timing of it all to the fact that he's releasing the book and he talked about a few other celebrities and so when he mentions so who people know natalie portman well this is marketing for my book and i'm going to go out and say there's only janitor in the day and you can see by the picture that she looks all they want to do a little bit uncomfortable i mean. but i don't i think it's also important to note that it's also in book for both males and females nowadays where you know the male also is dating a lot an older woman or older women are dating the younger guys and this is just the wave of the society is condoning it we see celebrities marrying very very my
2:57 pm
opinion age inappropriate i mean i would i couldn't see myself the person you are of if you're 30 if you're a 3540 year old woman and you're doing that another meeting with a 20 year old man and what kind of relationship is that what kind of to me again i just think that the levels of maturity are so different and at least that's in my opinion how you relate to somebody so young 100 percent and i will say as a woman and her thirty's who over 30 as a woman over 30 i have watched like the men my age do not want to date someone their own age they want to date someone younger and younger and younger but i think what is the strange thing is they don't really get it and there's a maturity kind of lack there and i want to before we run out if i want to read one quote was another one from moby actually quoted wanted another singer who at the time was about 20 went on a date with them and he took her during his penthouse and he claims that she said
2:58 pm
to him you're a rich wasp from connecticut and you live in a 5 level penthouse you're the man as in stick it to the man as in the person they get seen in the revolution and i think. really interesting about it is that moby thought that was a compliment and i think that's indicative of the maturity of say the review a mike and it's not a compliment gentlemen when somebody says that i we're really want to thank you guys for setting ma'am and having this conversation with me this week and you know the thing about the difference of ages whether you're for. or 45 there's some differences there thank you so much and i got it. and that's our show for you today remember everyone in this world we're not told we're loved enough so i tell you all i love on top of the wall is keep on watching those hawks and have a great day and night everyone.
