when the ruling class is protect themselves. in the final larry go read this and be the one sitting. in the middle of the room sick. greetings and salutations i don't know what you did over the weekend hawk watchers but for those of us here in the united states of america friday october seventh marked the gala event of the season as the u.s. and afghanistan celebrated their sixtieth anniversary of war death and wasted tax

dollars yes for sixteen long years now the united states has been dropping soldier exam bombs on that quaint little desert mountain community to the tune of anywhere from eight hundred billion to two trillion tax dollars depending on which set of experts or washington think takes us now now i know many of you are out there wondering just what do you get the longest running war in u.s. history on its sixteenth anniversary i mean we've already pretty much gone through paper bruns and mcchrystal. as an insider joke well thankfully the pentagon has your answer as they gifted afghanistan over the weekend in some very first pair of blackhawk helicopters that's truly the gift of it keeps on giving blackhawk helicopters oia. afghanistan president except of the anniversary gift over the weekend at a ceremony in kandahar which was attended by iranian officials including general john nicholson the top u.s. commander in afghanistan. tragically it's true pit-bull could not perform at the

sixteenth anniversary festivities because he was already put at a rather sweet sixteen in dubai. upon receiving the two attack helicopters present god he stated if the taliban think that they have defeated the afghan security forces they should take out these raw thoughts from their heads. had better shake out the raw thoughts of peace from our heads because we know this is the war that never ends and i'm not going to sing that day it's too sad hurts me too much but one never ends anyway so let's take off on a stand ward sweet sixteen and start. with you that got.

them to have to. understand is old enough to drive now. you have to. drive. like that we're going to get this. thing going to help get it into helicopters to you know rain chaos down. the populace and i love that and you know i want to show you a quick chart take a look at this to this is the length of the of galveston where it is now the longest running u.s. war in history longer than the bro rebellion fourteen years northwest. ten years iraq eight point eight us coming up fast on the real america. revolution.

civil war world war two nothing compares to for the u.s. to be a war and not just boggles your my and i think this keeps going on and on and on and at what point. doesn't that seem strange to anyone in the department of defense that you have a war that's been going on for sixteen years because it's just it's just dollars and change doctors actually they're slow but it's not our money but they don't care about our body not been there are large and this is the thing it's there is so much money that could be saving people being wasted and lives being wasted there is a brown university does a cost of war has a cost of war project and as of two thousand and sixteen their new study found that the combined cumulative death toll of war in afghanistan and pakistan since two thousand and one is one hundred seventy three thousand with one hundred eighty one hundred eighty three hundred thousand one hundred eighty eight thousand one hundred

thousand others were seriously injured so you take that you look at when the contract conflict began the united states that are spent it spent eight hundred billion in appropriations alone they'd gone and gotten that much out of. katie. and now figuring in associated funding veterans care that number easily exceeds a trillion for the cost of this is were and one of the editor of a long war journal bill rocio wrote back in april that the taliban today. holds more ground in the country than sense since since they were ousted by the united states into early two thousand than they did before so we made them stronger we made other terrorist organizations i'm sorry rebel fighters yeah whatever the problem is a shambles whatever we call it this week though we're putting money into that we're bringing death destruction i mean. and we're more wanting more of them or trump is

going to win again a steady drop that big huge row we were last year. i mean it's absolutely nuts and i don't we haven't accomplished much would kill a lot of people and spend a lot of money but i guess that's the idea right right. interview with p.b.s. and new or old buddy the trail. c.e.o. a former cia director david petraeus and also oversaw u.s. forces in afghanistan admitted that this is a. job and spending sixteen here for afghanistan is not going to end anytime soon he told me was quote this is a generational struggle generational that this is not something that is going to be won in a few years we're going to take a bill plante up way and go home to a victory parade a generational war. which it is now sixteen years and says that's the beginning of the next generation there are people now born who are sixteen years old this year in the u.s. and in order to drive about to become adults who know nothing but the u.s.

being at war with the galveston let that one sink in for a minute but once again there are people born today who have not known the u.s. and not war in afghanistan wow or just generally being at war and that we're all they're going to lose you know and the whole fight is delusional you talk to people are active duty active doing duty i want to talk about this a u.s. marine captain joshua went out wrote this bed for the marine corps because that last spring and it he laid out all the problems he saw with the defense department and the marine corps and what's going on there what he said was quote let us first begin with the fundamental underpinnings of this delusion are measures of performance and effectiveness in recent years it is time that we as professional military officers accept the fact that we lost the wars in iraq and afghanistan. you you're not going to have people going into that meat grinder when they see.

start to really see this this is the thing you saw in vietnam in eight years. they're not going to have the numbers less than one percent of the u.s. population signs up to be in the military what happens when those numbers are so low the only way they're going to be able to get people is for some and that is the day middle america will say you're not taking my sons and daughters. on nov fifteenth twenty two months before the new administration even walked in the door of the department of housing and urban development office of inspector general issued a report that found pervasive material errors in the financial statements of hud including eleven material weaknesses seven significant deficiencies and five instances of noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations the report went on to state that during the twenty six audit acting general counsel refused to sign off on certain matters including in the management representation letter concerning

all known actual or possible litigation claims and assessments related to hide including its component entities include clues in the report indicated that hud was responsible for improper budgetary accounting disclaimers of opinion financial statements invalidated grant a cruel estimates estimates improper and unreliable accounting for assets and liabilities and significant on reconciled sub ledger to general ledger differences the report concludes that the office of housing and urban development was a complete financial mess well before the new administration took over but it doesn't seem that the new head of neurosurgeon but in carson thinks five hundred billion in a crude accounting error is over two years is a big deal but then why would he when another newer report by dr mark skidmore a professor of economics at michigan state university and catherine austin say it's former assistant secretary of housing shows that between the department of defense and the department of housing and urban development nearly twenty. the one trillion

dollars has been lost missing or unaccounted for from nine hundred ninety eight to two thousand and fifteen and while much of that twenty one trillion dollars has an actual cash but fraudulent unreported accounting it's still enough to wipe out the entire us national debt and still have enough to get everyone a pizza that would be nice i would love it if the government bought us all a slice of pizza for the same wasted over the years just just from you reach into your pocket and take him from you and this is one of the this see this is totally bizarre and goes down bad accounting if you howl what i want to know is what were the democrats doing and what was obama doing for each year when his housing and urban development department was in a shambles shambles well i mean look at look at look at the way the v.a. is but in shambles almost every government agency across the board is but in general look at the pentagon to now look pentagon misplaces a couple trillion dollars i understand that they'll say you know accounting there

is other but really they're put in the white black op operations stuff they can't tell congress about on descript lack bags and whether it's that kind of stuff yeah i mean you that doesn't make it right but you can say like i know why the pentagon claims to misplace money it's usually because it's going someplace the fare is ok or someplace the other thing is or any element i don't think they're paying you know bags. or wards that hard that just means incompetence and probably i'm sure if you dig deep enough those people didn't get much or another scrap there had to be there is no way on the local and the federal level that these housing authority is the way they've been being run over the last eight to ten years that you're going to tell me that money wasn't going into the pocket and here's the thing is that when you think about how the housing and urban development those that need help from their programs are the us will still vulnerable yet this country there are two thirds of their incomes average less than thirty percent of the median income for the area they live that doesn't mean the poorest of poor right. so you're saying

that two thirds of the people in the house and housing that would be under that housing assistance make forty percent of the average for the average person and you're telling me what little money there is a match apartment can't be found and isn't going to help people but me let abatement alone should. begin to you know but here's my question is you know you mentioned our buddy ben carson the neurosurgeon who knows everything about raising it either way you know he's a minute he doesn't know any one no that's but it's clear that mr goble thing about housing and urban development well i think this is weird because this seems like the perfect opportunity to sort of get back at the obama administration for what are clearly incredibly maximun series of mistakes or malfeasance either somebody wasn't paying attention to what was going on and or somebody was cooking the books for whatever reason. but i think it's weird that the he wouldn't even give an

opinion like that was the thing the report said hardock was so bad that they couldn't even give an opinion on. the financial health of the entire department so the white house's plan and ben kirsten's plan is to cut hard funding anywhere from six billion to forty billion by putting pressure on the states themselves to fund the plan and oversee public housing they're porous and so what this means that giving the housing authority in east st louis recently back to east st louis to the locals wasn't about states' rights there was no it was it wasn't about make putting things in the locals hands it was about saving the feds a few bucks sons they're definitely going to lose in the shifting the blame too because that if you put everything away from the terrible program the last all this money with her i grafted all the new put it back into the states hands are going to go and no one has to touch the problem no one has to get dirty from the problem that's a local issue and then inaudible have to go and take it over. i got it what's happened

here is i'll turn around to get just a cyclical or you all right as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered at facebook and twitter see our poll shows that are. coming up massachusetts congressional candidates brianna will join waltz in the hawks nest to discuss moving the democratic party beyond hillary clinton and chuck schumer and into the future state to watch the. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. he's there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been

a struggle. this man found his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such. a tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution you have someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us and it's full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to times you know what it is that really the. yampa the john oliver of our america is this. apparently better than that

city. heard of. the accident. as the world bank takes you. seriously is going to email. the news in the morning. on the water. oh you ought to go to. this move.

with the defeat of one hillary clinton nearly a year behind us in the rearview mirror the same problems are plaguing the democratic party in two thousand and sixteen continue to fester and enter the party's future prospects with the left still encouraged to fund foreign wars and buy copies of what happened there is unfortunately been little room for lively debate and policy innovation here to change that as brianna wu a software engineer and i t. export was now running for congress in the democratic primary against incumbent stephen lynch of massachusetts who though a clinton supporter in twenty sixteen takes a bold approach to reclaiming her party and making it one of true progress and appealing idealism joins how but the recently discussed her efforts and the ideas underpinning her ambitious campaign. hi brianna thank you so much for joining me now i want to talk to you first about the democratic party because the democratic

party of today is not what i think it's. i don't know it could clearly progress they have out all these decades of interest in this war is growing deficit but those wars and this sort of continued. lack of unity just within the party and its followers you call in your campaign for the boulder democratic party for bold leadership in massachusetts what does that look like to you. well i think at the core it just means putting the american people first i think you nailed it like this is the democratic party that has been complicit in completely unfounded wars this is a democratic party that you know has put health insurance companies in this put you know wall street all kinds of special interests first to the point where i don't feel like we really have a progressive party in this country and i think the american people have spoken very clearly when it comes to this week you know centrist democratic party that's almost republican lite they're just not interested in voting for it so i think it's

time we started taking care of the american people and what does that look like because i think the hard part for a lot of people in the rust belt when i speak to them about getting back onboard with the democratic party after things like nafta and then after also trusting republicans over and over and over again to fix what ninety's democrats did what is it about that identity crisis that the democratic party is having and is it really just about the election or is this just been building and building and building and they ignore it. i think it's more about vision than anything else you know for all the republicans faults they present a vision to voters and they follow through on it it's an absolutely terrible vision but you know they reward their voters for us in the democratic party it's hard to get people excited about tax credits for job retraining and you see the devastation of jobs it's. you know the problem with democrats is we have so many

elites in our party that are leading it that we don't really speak to like ordinary americans and what i see when i'm out there running for congress i see people that just want you to talk to them straight and they just want to feel like you have their back and i think that's something the democratic party is utterly failed to do do you think that there is because we hear we've been hearing since the election and since the inauguration that they're they're putting their platform together they're putting up a platform together. i mean at this point a lot of people say i'm sick of waiting for the democrats to get their things together or i'm just going to let let's go for a third party let's go for independents what do you say to people who are pushing that independent or third party which obviously has a long way to go before it has strength one what good is trying to say of the democratic party as a progressive as someone who sees fifteen or how how did that or the possible well

you know i use my approach to problem solving is i'm an engineer right so i look at outcomes i don't look at intent so anything that our party back on message back taking care of the american people i am for i personally think it is better to primary weak democrats i personally think it's better to move this party to the left but i think like if you have people out there that are you know running as third party truly progressive candidates i think that's a good thing because i think it puts the democratic elites on notice that if they know get to work like they will be replaced so you know i think how we get there i'm very flexible but i think the truth is you know i am somebody that has spent a lot more time democratic elite circles today than i had a year ago and with respect to people that work hard for

a party i see people that are just so comfortable that they're really removed from what ordinary americans are feeling they don't know what it's like to really struggle to pay the rent they don't know what it's like to be like one paycheck away from losing your house and i think that we need people that do understand that you know having their voice heard in the party it's just so gross and i'm comfortable working with republican light as we try to get there yeah i used to. the term neo liberal i used to just it used to drive me up a wall and now i i just accept it as kind of what it is right you know i pushed against it for a long time and finally said no they're right at it it's this new idea of a liberal that isn't really liberal or progressive and one of the where is you see where you see this the most to me is an attack and one of the issues you bring up as you noted promoting more tech jobs in your state considering how much of the

rust belt is hurting from the exodus of young people looking for those jobs elsewhere this is one area that that i keep seeing a lot of people keep saying is being able to invigorate exactly the areas hurt by previous democratic policies why you feel that tech is an area that's so important to the economies of states especially like massachusetts. but you know i think of tech jobs today as kind of what automotive manufacturing jobs were fifty years ago if you work in time like the odds are good that you're going to be able to buy a house the odds are good they're going to be able to have a family you know to me it's what i know because it's the field our work in know exactly the people i want to call to ask them to come to massachusetts but i would be you know i would not be truthful if i didn't tell you tucker is a place with a lot of problems you know i myself have spoken out for years and years about the

way treats women in the way it treats people of color so we have a lot of work to do you know my dream for massachusetts is we're a state where we have pretty good protections for gay people we have pretty good protections for women. i want to make this a state where we can kind of match these blue collar jobs like rebuilding infrastructure and prepare in boston for global warming with you know these kind of white collar tech jobs three can make a decent living i think that's a pretty. strategy to just you know helping families be able to make a living wage massachusetts is a big education state they've invested a lot into that education which on a side note is also what the chinese did was spend a lot of money and time educating their populace to be ready for the influx of these jobs i'm from wisconsin and i'm seeing them lack that kind of forward thinking. what how do we get people who look at you know mining jobs and factory

jobs as the good solid jobs and shift that that view toward sort something intact and can we move some of those blue collar people into the tac or. oh i think so like the district i'm running in district we have a lot of union workers so we have a hyper skilled workforce you know building the kind of like for instance sea walls we need in boston it is a fact the boston will be underwater in fifty years if we don't start preparing for it so i do think that's a play go but you're right the education is it's a good bet it's a good way forward where mail so chooses failed is we put all this money forward for education and you have people of mit starting a new company it's but then we have this brain drain out and they take that investment that our state has made and they take it to silicon valley or new york or other tech epicenter susan austin so what i want to see if this is what i want

to see is to is yes we need to avoid these neo liberal policies that are you know just republican alike we don't need to treat like you know we don't need to treat like the so-called free market as a religion but we do need to get in the business of providing people like a living wage and i think people have a track record of keeping tech accountable you know can have a lot of credibility and bring those jobs here and have them treat workers right. today marks a number of hysterical historical moments in the history and celebrate the actions of some very famous men first the greatly admired and disparaged anti-imperialist revolutionary was assassinated fifty years ago by the libyan soldiers trained equipped and guided by u.s. green berets and cia operatives look it up it's a leap erikson day now. erikson was an icelandic explorer who is believed to be by

many to be the first european to step foot in north america in areas known as newfoundland and maine but most notably the day is normally used to celebrate christopher columbus a man every child in the united states is raised believing discovered america except he didn't he never even made it to the united states of america what he did do was land in the caribbean and proceed to enslave murder and mutilate the native peoples all for gold so today let us celebrate the indigenous peoples of north america the ones that have been through a horrifying millennia of war oppression and disease we give respect to those who survived and carry on the heritage of their ancestors and we whose ancestors took part in the most painful period of this country's history celebrate your courage and the work done to open our eyes to the reality of your history happy indigenous peoples day to every native person around the world we stand with you that we most

definitely do all right everybody that is our show for you today remember everyone in this world not told your loved develops or tell you wall i love you i am i rolled into it and i had to happen to fall asleep watching those hawks and have a great day and let everybody. know in the years you know you go into are you going to. the you don't wish to leave this job. so in other words are there that in either the world you have very well is that you are or you are just to believe our soldiers' lives the glad i wish to god but only remember that at the instant nobody can take the brunt of. he got up out of the

local one down. in the state. not to bring the stone ruin of the earth going to shift. to use it it is. going to. be a. time when to please. her . the cost of pirate is high that's true but by banning the empire in the case of america i mean that the cost of everyday goods will be high in other words if you're not depending on slave labor in china. bombing folks in the middle east for cheap oil you know not spending on subsidies given to china for cheap electronics everything in the grocery store is going to be double the price triple the price.

and the. i. was. that. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us is it actually just pull along awesome the only show i go out of my way to lunch you know a lot of the really packs a punch. yam is the john oliver of hearty americans do the same we are apparently better than blue that i see people you've never heard of love to the night my

president of the world bank so they can leave the room and you send us an e-mail. but. paris where police some protests is. on the streets appalled over another day of action. not a sincere target from barcelona on a crucial day for spain as catalonia braces for a potential declaration on.
