wasting tax dollars this is due primarily to our obsession with the military industrial complex take for example the amount of money we've wasted on the beautiful island retreat to guantanamo bay cuba the gorgeous beach beach side war on terror prison resort and military base surrounded by a very fertile minefield just a stone's throw away from havana in miami beach this beauty has cost us taxpayers about five point six billion dollars over the years for just the prison facility alone and of course like a kid in college or your favorite political party it always needs more money yes according to the miami herald the pentagon is looking to spend nearly five hundred million dollars in new construction at the naval base including two hundred fifty million for a new earthquake proof hospital bed hospital two hundred fifty million dollars five beds five beds to fifty pentagon mathematics at its very best but it's not just the pentagon looking to squeeze money out of u.s.

taxpayers into new are lovely political parties are also looking to oring every last nickel out of their followers with the republicans raising a massive eighty six million in the first seven months of the year leaving the democrats in the dust at just over forty the democrats are pair apparently are so desperate to fund their resistance that they are now allegedly sending fundraising pleas in the guise of final notice to bills to their supporters. between the pentagon and our political parties the u.s. taxpayer is looking less like a citizen and more like a piggy bank as we start watching the hawks. what it. looks like. at the bottom. like you know that i got.

the everybody to watch from the hard side of this i robot for and on top of the ones who. get low get low and the democrats and republicans everyone is this police and taxpayer money these days. it's not. there is nothing burger or expose the government is she having you on your mind i. will go on todd imo years it's shocking i'm shocked to find gambling about yeah it's a little ridiculous five beds that you know that's five million dollars per sorry fifty million dollars per bet those better have some real leg do you get into the beds and they just cure you of all disease illness they've got

a star trek beds where they will explode and will poke at ball and then maybe one could only hope one can only hope i mean look i mean it's amazing how much they want to spend with this place it's a got about what fifty five hundred residents i believe forty one war time prisoners but like you i mean that's a lot of beds had one of those so you're basically they're saying the light well we need to like re earthquake proof the building at the end of the day which is pretty ridiculous it's. just close the players to do you know i mean aside from all the other reasons of why having forty prisoners and paying for five thousand soldiers to watch a centrally forty one people is great i mean i'm saying it's imo the fish should die i'm not making a moral judgment or things on the fishing use of resources for our. young men and the other of the military but you know this building was built nine hundred fifty six it was a pretty you know we're talking about like war. things that it does need upgrades.

what they're saying is that they need to do these upgrades not only for earthquake . issues but also because there's sort of need to upgrade it so it can provide proper ambulatory care to five thousand people although five beds five thousand again i'm not getting the numbers here there's this inquiry i think we only need five but as a for the prisoners or for the yeah it's a little strange but it's supposed to be for the people on the base and in a statement to cross the different events health agency definitely said it has to do with that there's the facility has a significant risk of collapse in a major seismic event do the will to the lack of seismic design features which i think points again to you know when you have a car and you have bought it you bought it when you are emotional and so you don't really look at it and if year after year after year you have to keep fixing it. and

cost more to fix the car and get a new car i think we're at that point. the other on the other creeping that out of sight and buried in this like five hundred million dollar bill is this this city. so it's. you know basically there are maybe for like a good. one hundred million the girl basically a thirteen thousand migrant city. migrants and five thousand u.s. forces but they haven't really said what for what and why is this kind of like we need a place with cameras on poles to watch people one store thirteen thousand people but we really build we're not giving you any reasons why which is very creepy. is probably to get you know a bill in your mailbox that turns out to be a soliciting for them for a time or credit that is really but is it any surprise when you look at the numbers

that the dems aren't raising all that my desire and so for. the person extremely online for some editors to read about. the pro and exclaimed the democrats are proving the whole disconnect of the world to work in cause they truly are so no delusion please that look like a collection of letters this is despicable this is really disappointing it's pretty horrible i mean if i mean i want of those things that makes you go never never. done. it is but then that's why you have this might be one of the reasons that the democrats have only raised three point eight million and july while the republicans raise ten point two and every day the new administration is already fundraising i mean every day every day those e-mails are going out and that's why they're doing rally is that it's not good for the country there are really raising money. notices for money and productive discourse seems to be on at the last leg of

hashtags trending topics and click bait headlines polarize everyone and everything they can get their grubby little hands on instead of discussing the very issues at the core of the division and solutions for them feeding the beast of offense is much more tantalizing e.s.p.n. chose to pull veteran sports announcer robert levy from the university of virginia's home opener in september and spokesperson told the washington post quote we collectively made that this. with robert just which games as the tragic events in charlotte or unfolding simply because of the coincidence of his name so now both right and left me out floods and corporate and independent outlets are calling for apology is making mediums and feigning abject horror at the act while reveling in the clicks that their own reporting of the outrage honors them with because context doesn't matter when it's possible to take a shot across the bow of the current administration mainstream media headlines this

morning were practically is all over it and over it is that the navy was second vice admiral joseph acquired the commander of the seventh fleet over recent accidents as they said quote due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command what the navy and the media failed to make clear was that the vice admiral just acquired was set to retire in less than two weeks that the navy just began a full fleet wide global investigation into into the accidents that they had been stretched unbelievably then reassembling and that rear admiral phil sawyer who took command was already scheduled to do so on september seventh that's right just two weeks from now but hey why use the logic common bit of human decency when you can make a few bucks off a trash or go thirty seven year navy veteran get to the administration and penalize an american because rhesus might make jokes. those that wish to make all of our lives a living hell for fun and profit want us to be for a few are full frail and flimsy both against each other and them.

just load reached its zenith or could get harder and i don't really have the words reach the top. because i don't care about anything anymore and nothing nothing outrages mean nothing i being you know it's like a child starving our age you know the evil done real things to be outraged by. me and those when they designed it that they didn't do those things so they made. a big deal out of right right oh my god the admiral had to leave his post to explain but for he was scheduled to leave his post i think it's i think it's a shady move for the navy to sit there and say because oh well here is. that shady i think it's incredibly gross you know especially two weeks yeah probably because these two weeks from retirement. and you already are putting together

a plan to fix these issues and to look into them and it makes more sense to have the guy who's going to take over or the guy who's on is probably already boxing up with stuff in the captain's quarters that were destroyed in the ad thing you're blaming him for i'm sorry that's why you had to leave it was because all the stuff we're going up to see literally right here is what i usually get out it is a record i was there with the second more you know it's probably one of those moves it was like two weeks if you were going to surely but of another thing is on the on the yes you know what's what's really even more outrageous about that is there's over eleven thousand robert lee is living and the united states it is the lead is these twenty second most common name in the united states so i think what one good does this do what it good is a dubious pm being all delicate about something that wasn't even an issue then making an issue out of it and then everybody getting outraged about what celera is about us that's a great point of the adam suddenly making issue than ever getting all raised because they made it an issue on target issue over an issue you know we're just

blows my my mind is that the really the other is doing more harm than good laura wattenberg the creator of baby name wizard dot com told the atlantic i think ironically your spin did more harm to the name than the statue did because e.s.p.n. just sort of fired a shot across the bow saying with the name robert lee a whole host forms is now linked to the general and i suspect but a lot of bob lees are cursing them right now which is a great point i mean if i read yeah if you're so sensitive this from a channel the routinely you know instigates fights between anchors on the show for radio you know. from a channel that plays up so much in sports just for quick bait there's obviously a model but yeah i mean the idea that model and c.n.n. i mean all we've watched them tear if it's order of shock it's really kind of ridiculous you know the only thing more ridiculous than everything else is all.

also the idea that supposedly now we're talking about the out right now immediately appears the was was the navy hacked it must be ak it must be a hack it must be because your nose said the. united states never does anything but here's what is so ridiculous you have people we're supposed to be experts in their field sitting on on social media is it is not coded there's a thing number one if a much more sophisticated if the very very sophisticated navy vessels are that hackable don't you think that commercial vessels tooling around it why would people be out with whole ships trying to hijack commercial vehicles or commercial vessels they could just hack him through their g.p.s. to. the navy just a couple of. the navy for the most part when there are these things happen are using the lookouts usually to know four of them on each ship those use their eyes so until the russians or the chinese learn how to hack but not killers on their eyeballs that's not happening they don't use g.p.s.

to navigate a rate and i round other vessels they use radar. and their eyeball and also if anything to anybody who's ever been in the neighbor will tell you redundancy is the name of the game it's redundancy after redundancy after redundancy so i think anyone playing any they have it's fire oh god robert lee take down our rage take it down and plenty of things to be worried about these so we'll get to those in the next half second half and i'm going to put a break mark what is are they going to let us know what you think about topics we've covered a base for going twitter see our poll shows that are dot com i'm starting this monday august twenty eighth we are going interstellar is watching the harps and all your other favorite are two shows will be airing on direct t.v. channel three twenty one yes you can see. from space. anyway coming up georgetown professor chris chambers of the us to discuss the role excessive coverage plays in legitimizing extremist views stay tuned to watching.

the current situation is that there's concerns on the part of the four arab countries egypt saudi arabia emirates. as relates to policies of qatar but i have to be addressed i have had a very adverse impact on the security and the case of material evidence exists in the face of. policies the pope adversely impacted as has caused the loss of life in egypt this is a tall global situation. but

you go through what you could you want to use history no medicine nobody but more in one million people die and. be killed people even date you. know no one's going to worry too much everybody's rounded up and that's.

apparently in the long term memory challenge world of journalism in two thousand and seventeen it took the tragic events at charlottesville to remind the mainstream news media of the racial and cultural divisions that still exist in this country i guess they forgot about the adversity and outrage hatred that the black labs matter an occupy wall street movements consistently have faced both in the streets and over the airwaves in the aftermath of any tragedy is self reflection is an important part of the healing process so today let's take some time to sell for flecked on just what role both the corporate and independent news media played in cultivating the growing divide in the united states and around the world writing for abbey lincoln anthony play plays out the basic problem of the media coverage. extremism today quote the deaths of our children are filtered through pointless panel eruptions and language that specifically animated killers like dylan ruth and james jackson is allowed to breathe on their air unfettered until c.n.n.

decides that white nationalism and white supremacy is too dangerous to be treated as provisions for amusing t.v. their theater will be nothing more than a forum for legitimizing the worst type of bigotry joining us today to bring some self reflection to the news media and to help us better understand where the line is drawn between informing our legitimising its direct and professor of media studies that comes back always a pleasure chris always approaches so you know we see it from c i mean i think they're all especially cable news but there's a lot of guilt to be thrown around i think you get c.n.n. fox news new york times it's name of you i mean showcasing richard spencer rationalised new york times you know giving. conspiracy theory it was always manage an editorial pages of fox news consistently giving ted nugent a platform that you know at what point does this turn from providing perspective you know viewpoints or you know moves items to giving legitimacy to what would

normally be considered you know fringe and extreme i think it's you know they they're the corporate model is to get as many eyeballs watching and then clicks afterward as possible so that's what they're going to play to so you're not going to have somebody talking about the history of race relations or the civil war or of the. discussion of the civil war or the united states from seven hundred seventy six or before that to now or race relations or capitalism or you know marginalization of people you're going to have they're going to bring the craziest activists they can in the craziest right wing nut that they can to go at it and that's what really that's really what's going on and then they sit back and do. cry the fact that people aren't well informed and that's the thing that really gets me because it's like at the end of the day when you when you put somebody on like i say it's one thing you want to do an interview every now and again you want to say ok here's the subject this is

a guy that's prominent and i asked some hard questions you can see but when it's over over and over and over again that's where it's really best and then just seems like a punching match to some extent it's like you have great extremism and terrorism is great for ratings but when you see anchors who bring people on and then don't even let them speak i want what does that stop becoming journalism and that becomes just it's a surrogate is that you know that's it becomes a circus and and what it does is it probably and this is just from my studies and my personal opinion to it probably legitimizes the extremists because it gives them a platform and then to deal with the demise of the media whatever whatever outlet that is and then journalism in general and it doesn't do anything to to to refocus the followers of that extremist on religion cation i mean you know a lot of a lot of these guys that were there in charlottesville had just utterly just maybe third grade if that ideas of american history or robert e.

lee or the civil war i mean you know and if you're going to try and if you're going to really change their minds but maybe even shame them into acting differently you have to present them with something a little more tangible and giving and a circus is not going to do that i mean you know it's there are plenty of people out there at georgetown at other even in the south older white male sons of the south history professors who can give you a sober and accurate view of what this country has been and it and you can't sit there and tell me that they're like well they're along here of liberal professors they're not they're old white guys and they could even do that but they don't bring these guys know these women on the air because it's not. going to get people like that yeah yeah like an air harley sound it doesn't no it doesn't but but but now but you're right because that's part of it too because if you're sitting there waiting for your flight it's eight hours late and you see these people going at it

and there is somebody in the middle who's supposed to be moderating it supposed to be informing people and they're just letting them shout and then they interrupt them you know and say something obvious or not profound but obvious like well is it isn't racism really wrong i mean you know it yeah it really is it doesn't let me let me ask you this and this is you know we deal with some pretty contentious issues in this country today and one of the interesting aspects of come up is you know everyone say well you have to be objective you have to present both sides of every a sure you know as in journalism you know should both sides of a story always be represented you know as a journalist i mean you can sometimes you look and say i mean if the person clearly is a racist clearly hates those it or this person clearly you know believes the elves are running the world there's a certain point where you just don't we get all you know people do draw those lines and they've been drawn those lines since you know forever i mean there has to be

that kind of editorial kind of guidance and not some people might think that's the leaders but there has to be that but at the same time i mean the basic rule is i mean you don't have to be balanced but you have to be fair so in other words in order to be fair you kind of do have to be balanced but you don't give full trist full center ring in the circus to some nut or to somebody who really is not helping the situation and that could be a u.s. senator or president united states or a mare you don't necessarily have to give them the podium all the time to be fair you know but it you have to at least give them some exposure and understand where they're coming from and try to to to show that kind of empathy not agreement i i might. i try to walk a mile in your shoes but i still might think you're crazy and i might still point out it's like i've walked a mile in your shoes and i think you're crazy still but you still have that obligation but yeah i mean the whole both sides thing is

a little tricky i can imagine yeah i mean you can present a side without like cam i think right exactly and i thought this debate going to allow anything like nothing's really a lunch and a pen and it's let's debate it thinking day isn't it and you know you see that in the bigger outlets i mean some of those you know you do it with r t on the ground you get more of a factual situation some of these smaller outlets like vice what have people on the ground and you can you can talk to them and they'll tell you exactly what happened but you know but even they will in editorialized but at the same time i mean at least they're they're trying to get an r.t. for example is there on the ground trying to get some facts. you know it's really a tough call and i blame the cable giants for that ironically the broadcast giants the old school a.b.c. n.b.c. c.b.s. i think for this issue they've done a little bit better job than c.n.n.

certainly and then fox most assuredly and the n m s n b c two i think they've done a fairly decent job you know you might you mention like bison are two you know and you know right now we're talking you know fox kind of thing is this this kind of you know parading of the extremists and you know bantering an argument is more important than the discussion is this uniquely a united states is this uniquely something to western media i mean i want to see this around the world or is this kind of just our three rings i think this is this is something because of the first amendment because of our history i mean in other parts of the world i mean they're shooting journalists in their head so i mean you know there's that yeah yeah you know i think that there's i think that this is something that we have really taken. hi art a lot of it is because you know journalists haven't been as threatened and we do have the entertainment model and you know it's almost that we've had this mock safety so we've been able to act more like idiots because you know there's less at

stake but there is a stake there's more at stake players are the problem is that insulation i think people have yeah i mean between you know what's happening in their daily lives in one place and then the distinction that you know when you look at the media they don't seem to have a clue what's going on right anybody under that makes last that like a million dollars a year they are less about anybody who is working his pore who is a mother who's a father apparently get it all seems very you also don't want to make you know i mean if you're talking about it as a c.n.n. or an and b c m s n b c i mean controlled by these giant corporations you're not going to sit there and say well you see america has always been like this and they don't that's not good that's not cool to say that because you're really sticking your thumb in the other people who are controlling that and there's no difference to the fox and c.n.n. when it or if you're not it comes you're not going to you're not going to see someone criticizing i.b.m. for you know ultimately being responsible for the early math machines used by the

nazis right now we're going to argue about i don't come up when we're ever desirous of the word but it's my right you know these things are not going to see looking to the future do we get better or is this get worse i want to think it's i think it's got to reach some kind of equilibrium at some point and even now i don't i think that they're starting to get get that through their heads now maybe not fox because they do have an institutional problem there there are people in there trying to change that but i think there are i think there are some institutional internal rather controls are saying look we got a we got a really cool this down we can't just give people a podium all the time and we have to educate people and inform pete. well if we're going to really heal spoke properly. you know so that's i think that's what's going to it was always a pleasure of yours very much so much. if you have hangups about

the morality of hallucinogenic drugs it might be time to let the should talk you go so is at the university of germany were comparing the use energetic and non hallucinogenic mushrooms in an attempt to discover which genes are crucial in creating site. by ben the psychedelic compound that give some mushrooms their magic what they found was that this psilocybin wasn't necessary for mushrooms just survive but it is found in areas with a lot of fungus eating insects scientists now theorize that the vision inducing substances might be a natural insect repellent that plants develop to protect themselves going one step further this discovery is also being used to perfect the process of synthesizing psilocybin as studies are getting closer to proving that the magic in magic mushrooms could be a safe and effective treatment for anxiety depression and addictions to don't doubt because science is already planning a really oh i love slowly science let's get to the heart of the magic mushroom

issue. you've been very i remember everyone in this world we're about told her a little bit about soy so we will i love you i am i rolled with her and i've taught a lot of people are watching those talks of every great day but it. was when the swiss national bank subtle but then other central banks on behalf of governments are now the biggest owners of stocks when japan is the biggest seller of exchange traded funds that's called nationalization that's socialism combined with the central bank the poland. euro that is fixing the price of money it's not a free money market for money and combined with purchase of open house it's nationalizing those assets that's right and communism that's nationalism that's why

this job global economy is shrinking because the social banks amount to what danny blanchflower to our says they're not operating in ways to free markets. but you. notice i noted marie and one million people and i'm. killed people even. now no one state income to lay a few pennies random in that and that's. the

two thousand and eight economic crisis turn some countries into pigs these are the countries with weaker economies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation of flow gloats even the recession osteria these a very bad idea it doesn't work and it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see their wages decline almost a decade how good are the results. by the few gathered in which to watch it all get people to see what do i do and. they still claim what was i mean to go. challenged as to this she was always thinking it she something. while the same measure is still in place to one of the consequences to weaken

bluebirds. will first. this is the truth the consider is the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision the. civilians flee u.s. led coalition airstrikes militants in the city of tal afar but it's an organization's war people that could face the same devastation witnessed in mosul. he travels to the hometown of the him although he was suspected of masterminding the spain attacks. here that there are understood to have attended prayers led. to spain accused of being the ring master behind these terrorists. and with widening social divisions the us mainstream media pushes though i do.
