it's so funny to see Ellen as a guest and not the host :)

[@ronaldwhite2766]

marriage# is between a Man& a Woman and not a man & a man or woman & woman !!! case close###

[@fervidamidthedandelions3405]

+Ronald White +UncaBilly Obama alienated homophobes by declaring support for marriage equality, so it's not entirely accurate to say he did this for votes. Besides, whatever his motives were are irrelevant to the effect. It lead to a civil rights victory under his watch. Also, Obama was the first president to appoint openly transgender persons to his administration, the first president to utter the word "transgender", fiercely supported helping gender dysphoric individuals to exist healthfully in public spaces, created the LGBT liason position, he repealed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", ended legal defense of DOMA, signed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act into law, mutliple directives on LGBT civil rights, developing and releasing the Nation’s first comprehensive plan for responding to the domestic HIV epidemic, protecting LGBT people's healthcare access, addressed bullying and suicide on LGBT youth in his first term through meetings and videos (first time ever a meeting as such occurred in the White House), reaffirmed LGBT students could form Gay-straight alliances on campuses, a 2014 order that created workplace protections for LGBT workers at the federal level and first to protect workers on the basis of gender identity, etc. etc. etc. Due to his historical relationship with the LGBT community, it's foreseeable that his position would evolve despite always being consistent on LGBT civil rights and consistent on admitting he could be wrong on his same-sex stance (like he did in his 2006 memoir). TLDR: that was a speculative and one-dimensional look on the issue

[@kaylontoler3304]

Yes because I am so use to her hosting that I had don't want her to be a guest

[@programan00]

I'm gay and I agree with you 100%. No one should judge an entire group of people based on a sample of that group. Although I am an atheist man, I support all forms of religion, everyone is free to have its own spiritual opinions/beliefs or lack of them. I really wish more people were as open and as respectful as me & blobby are. Hug !

[@Gonso96]

1:26 I love how Bethenny pretends nothing happened by talking louder :D

[@mildredcunningham]

Vivica Fox on breakup

[@umangkhan2201]

It's so weird watching Ellen get interviewed :P I love her though

[@TwinxxAktar]

If you look closely at the set, the 2 blueish screens on the sides are exactly like the screens on Ellen's set. I think its the same set! :D

[@emmajean3797]

Whoah... Ellen isn't hosting..?

[@1January1993]

The set is most likely in the same studio people, just rearranged for Bethenny's show. :)

[@window361]

You are right. It's ellen's set! Because while her show is off on summer, Bethenny makes he own show in ellen's studio.

[@paigenotfound404]

People who keep asking --- This is NOT Ellen's show.. This is also NOT Ellen's stage. Ellen made Bethenny's dream come true, by giving her her own talk show.

[@86thislove]

I just keep replaying the end over and over again, so funny lol

[@floweryolk]

OH MY GOD THIS IS GREAT ! THEY SHOULD INTERVIEW SHOWS TOGETHER !

[@msjuliarcv]

im not from USA, so please tell me: when ellen come back, bethenny's show it will be canceled?

[@zlamelie]

Is Ellen's show done for good or just for the summer?

[@TheMstina1967]

what timedoes she come on i'm inchgo and what channel??

[@Jawiggi]

Although many protestors fighting against gay marriage are using religion as their reasoning, that doesnt define what religion is about. im a christian, very involved in church organizations, and i 110% support gay marriage. religion doesnt tell you to be prejudice; its the people who twist the religion into something its not who use it as their weapon and stance.

[@Krokodil1201]

Where can I find the video where she talk about 50 shades of grey

[@channy271]

It is the same studio. If you read the description, Ellen is Bethenny's executive producer.

[@Sihamxo]

Thankyouuu. for speaking the truth! :)

[@jazmynmitchell2]

do you film on the same set as ellen?

[@David8024667]

And, this happened over and over again. I finally got up enough courage and strength to LEAVE that Church (a United Pentecostal Church). Actually what happened is my former Pastor ended up talking to my boss (who also happened to go to that Church) and asked him how much money I was making so HE could figure out how much money I should have been paying in tithes and offerings. He kicked me out when he found out I wasn't giving as much money as HE thought I should have been giving.

[@HeathCamp]

LOL I like so Ellen just leans into frame! :DD

[@lalahaley08]

Ellen's show is on hiatus right now. So they did a short transformation of the set, kept certain elements of Ellens show for Bethenny's set.

[@MissDarlz]

It hurts that some people think that all religious people are homophobic. I love my religion, and I totally support gay rights too. And I am 100% sure I'm not the only one

[@David8024667]

I told him that I would just go to another United Pentecostal Church. He told me, "Go ahead. See how that works out for ya. I will *not* sign a 'letter of transfer' till you pay up all that money - your CURRENT tithes, your BACK tithes, and then 5% interest." He said that there is a verse in the Old Testament which says you have to pay a "fifth thereof" if you are late in paying your tithes. Plus, not only did he want all of this money, he also wanted my offerings, too.

[@Kommenterare3]

"Where's that guitarr player" LOOL!

[@Sofia_loved]

I think is the same studio..!

[@MissDarlz]

*Hugs*

[@HelloDisasters]

Why is she using Ellen's set for her show? Weird!

[@LanLazy]

i love ellen! her stare into the camera LOL

[@LanLazy]

with gay marriage being accepted in the US it will help stimulate the economy! the wedding industry will have a massive boom !

[@SuperNuela]

I think it's actually the same studio

[@amt2511]

Haha! It IS the same set with different chairs!

[@thomas261989]

Sorry to ask but: 1. Then what is it? Preventing someone from doing something that is allowed for everyone else is denying their right. 2. Should childless couples be inferior to couples with children? What is the public benefits of having kids and not being able to raise them? Should a woman who has passed her time to have kids be banned from being married? If a spouse dies, should the surviving one be killed because he/she can't provide the "public benefits of 2 biological parents"?

[@Mandylois16]

I also admire President Obama esp for his support of gay marriage. I believe that Ellen has had an impact on him and many other people including myself

[@southernbrooklyngal]

how do you know he was against it? Did he tell you that, do you know him?

[@MrJohnza1]

Ellen steals the show, once again... :)

[@thomas261989]

So if a woman uses sperm donor to have a child since her husband's unable to "do it", should their marriage be void and null? If someone's divorced, their children cannot be adopted by their mother's/father's new spouse because he/she's not the biological parent? Should an adopted child be worthless in the society because he/she was not born out of "sexual union" of the 2 adopting parents? Should a child be born out of wedlock but both parents are together, he/she's still socially unacceptable?

[@David8024667]

I told him that I had to pay my Dad money each month (because he co-signed for me to get a truck at the time). And, he said, "No excuse! Where are your priorities?!!? With God or with man (your Dad)???" So, I explained to him that my number one priority was with God. But, I also explained that I didn't want to SCREW my Dad over, either, by paying my Pastor money and then NOT having enough to pay him for the car note I promised him I would pay. He told me that I would go to HELL if I didn't pay.

[@David8024667]

I can understand what you are saying here. I am one of those people who went to a very abusive and homophobic Church. And, because I went to this really abusive Church (which was also extremely homophobic, too), I now tend to think that ALL Churches (or pretty much most of them, anyway) ARE like this. But, my family keeps trying to tell me what YOU are saying. And, I am starting to see that this is the truth. I guess we have just been sooooo hurt by these other Churches. And, that's why ....

[@Lasc777]

You are talking to a men or an Institutions creating by men. I've being visiting many churches and I didn't have any problem. First, because I study about God . That's the best thing you could do and also GOD told you to do so nobody fools you. You have know why the churches and when the churches where created and why and how they work. There are many churches that can fit your mentality but there's only one God and he is the same. So if you look for him, he'll be the same in all scriptures that talk about him. The versions are many but only one God. Just remember that.

[@MsGuitarlover23]

Can someone answer this question (out of curiosity). Who create marriage? People or God himself?

[@thomas261989]

Should Ellen and Portia adopt a child, they would be much parents than a great proportion of straight parents out there. Successful, loving, witty, loved by most people, generous, ...what kind of children would not like to have parents like that?

[@themonteaffect]

Please watch "LOVEISBLIND" doc/equality/ssm

[@thomas261989]

Why should there be laws against animal cruelty when they're not even human? Why should the US subsidize its agriculture when it accounts for only 2% of work force and 1.2% GDP? Why should there be 2 senators for Wyoming when its population is 67 times smaller than California? It's not about proportions, it's about rights and equality.

[@jmm1027]

So glad to see such a positive interview about the president!!! GO ELLEN!

[@angelstar6223]

Jennifer Morgan YES!!! I TOO, THOUGHT THE SAME THING!!!👍😃👍

[@MsGuitarlover23]

So are you saying that people create marriage rather than God? If God created it shouldn't we follow the rules then? (again, I'm saying out of curiosity)

[@shariffahmbm]

Somehow I feel like ellen still "holds" the show. Like she's the host and bethenny is the guest. My point is as much as I try to like the bethenny person, I'm afraid she's not really doing it well...:(

[@5049doggy]

is that the Ellen stage?

[@losr18]

bahaha! "WHERE'S THAT GUITAR PLAYER!"

[@clozmee123]

it is, the same set with different furniture, because ellen is running it and co producing, so they share the set:)

[@toxxickissez]

I find it sad that same-sex marriage is still illegal in some states. Why should everyone have to abide by what YOU believe in?

[@jadilus]

lol, pause at 0:07 there are like 3 people who are clearly not happy about the support of gay marriage.

[@AmarayshLaiOfficial]

1:25 tho!!

[@sophiebarry2173]

My favourite people ever !!!:)

[@katty81690]

how would you know? there are more closeted gays than there are outed. tell me, how is it possible to know the percentage of the closeted ones?

[@Ms98Sabine]

it's weird seeing ellen speaking so seriously without making any jokes :P

[@mamegalo]

Religion has nothing to do with it. I'm a Christian, and yet, I'm a HUGE supporter of gay marriage.

[@wheatleytech2172]

Obama is awesome :D

[@jesseoglesby3932]

Now I understand why Bethennys show was cancelled, what weak bullshit, good riddance!!!!

[@barbaramorrow7875]

Obama opposed gay marriages at one time.... but then realized it was political suicide to continue with that stance.... so he flip flopped

[@orianamandi]

Wheatley Tech yeahhhh!!!! I have nothing to do with America, I'm in Greece, but this guy is AMAZING! If I could, I'd vote him a ZILLION times 💎💎💎💎💎💎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

[@JoshuaFenton]

1:41 , She will always steal the show!

[@Phamy]

eh... who is interviewing who here?

[@wrcrally12]

Bethenny Discusses Her Divorce

[@voltar99]

Lets not forget Obama was against gay marriage until 2012, the first year that the majority of voters supported it. Better late than never -but let's not assume it was somehow a moral epiphany for him that just happened to occur right before an election year.

[@Americansikkunt]

How is this a real conversation? If it was in paper, it would look so strange.

[@jimmyisaac92]

The guitar scared the sh** out of me lol

[@ChuChuHaappy]

Religion is part of the reason, but mostly 'people'. Those 'people' who hate changes or doesn't accept diversity.

[@David8024667]

Of course, HE was living the life (the luxurious RICH life). He didn't care about ANY of us. The only thing he seemed 2 care about was the money that came in. He had a whole collection of Gucci & Rolex watches (just 2 give you an idea of how he lives). And, that's not to mention his really expensive home(s), cars, clothes, vacations that he goes on with his' wife, etc., etc., etc., I just don't understand WHY people follow him when they know how he is. Yeah, I guess I do. They are BRAINWASHED!!!

[@Joey24Parker]

no its the bethenny stage

[@MeghanMystic]

love ellen!!! she is so funny! :)

[@DanceFunLaugh]

isnt it because its in the same studio !!!

[@thomas261989]

So if you have a mom who smokes crack and a violent dad, you still have a better life than someone else who is raised by two gay men with stable jobs and respectful social positions? The definition of narcissism is self-loving and the definition of marriage is the union of 2 persons, how did you fit them in the same sentence?

[@mamegalo]

But then again, isn't it a person's choice whether to agree with it or not?

[@hartje020510]

I LOVE ELLEN

[@cupkake13xx]

Yes it is Ellen is helping her with it

[@LoloHalakahiki]

No, I am angered by the fact that some people believe the only people of value in this world are the ones who have lots of children. That idea is disgustingly primitive.

[@LoloHalakahiki]

By you logic, my mother is not equal to normal people. She could not have children, so she adopted me. So I am not of public benefit and should be rejected by society because I was not raised by my biological parents?

[@caseyla3122]

Ellen made the show for Bethenny. Im sorry but a lot of us are long-time Bethenny fans. You dont know the backstory of this

[@ilovecheese209]

thats hella true!

[@micheleedwards2493]

Omg

[@tsfbaf303]

When? What?

[@jimbotellio5834]

Hope

[@xvcassvx]

21th? What? lol I think you meant 21st

[@iSpeakKonglish]

They were just talking about gay marriage and Betheny's like, "He told me good luck on your show!" Uh......

[@polarcub102]

HELL YEAH

[@Talice4Lyphe]

Hey, supporting Bethenny IS supporting Ellen! Just like Dr. Phil= Oprah ....Humans are so hard to please.

[@PaigeC.94]

I think she has ellens set when ellens off season

[@JoshuaFenton]

1:28...... Yup, it's still Ellen's show..

[@acg0405]

I'm not being sarcastic, but I do agree my language does stink!!! My circle of friends often talk like this, that's all. I'm sorry I've offended you, but getting shit sticks in my country is not a easy and accepted topic. Brown love is more accepted in Western Countries, but I believe it's changing here in China.

[@Inemica]

Yes they did.

[@TheDanielaMT]

Min 0:07... someone doesn't approve or can't clap.... Clap woman! that's why they let you in the show LOL.

[@miM6y]

It's cause she's an Aquarius -- she can be funny and at the same time, very serious ;)

[@SparkleSham]

I WANT TO MEET ELLEN!!

[@TwinxxAktar]

I think Bethenny needs a Tony in her show.

[@milorivard]

Ellen's so a pretty women

[@manu.schmidt]

ellen is not "helping", ellen is producing her show..

[@Vladlevampire]

well duhh Ellen is the producers of the show. She got Bethenny on fox.

[@ImInTheFrontRow]

You are clearly a very intelligent person and you give a way better argument than most people who don't agree with Gay marriage. So I'll give you that. But if it's just the traditional meaning of "marriage" you seem to find so important to uphold, I think it's time for a new definition. You're reducing 'marriage' to the act of raising biological children, and it is much more than that. How would you feel if you loved someone and you were not legally allowed to marry them? The entitlement is love

[@PinksLadyFunhouse]

Well this is shot in Ellens studio.. But I know you're right. I was just a little bit shocked. This show is awful.

[@donpage4275]

Obama will look very good in an ORANGE PRISON UNIFORM

[@cooda04]

I just noticed.... that is Ellen's stage.

[@kayak161616]

Fry face "don't know whether to downvote talkshow host in general or like because of Ellen (who i have loved for years)."

[@PinksLadyFunhouse]

WTF happened to Ellens stage? I hope this doesn't stay forever!

[@aEdith1004]

I can't believe I wasted a comment on you

[@malibuXoXobabe]

Her name is Bethenny she was a former cast member of the show Real Housewives of New York, she now has her own show on Bravo called "Bethenny Ever After", a huge company bought her Skinnygirl cocktail company, she is worth over $100 million dollars, and has her own talk show...who the fuck are you?
