12:30 pm
more bombs more soldiers what happens if trump's missiles kill russian soldiers these are important questions that we need to be asking russian foreign ministry spokeswoman marie is a car a soccer obama responded to trump's tweets posting on her facebook page a smart missiles must fly towards terrorists not a legitimate government that has been fighting international terrorism in its territory for several years. ladies and gentlemen this is a twentieth century world war of words that's being brought to us on twenty first century technology welcome to geopolitics and twenty eighteen let's start watching the hawks. it looks like. it's. the bottom. like you that i got.
12:31 pm
this. week so. well going on watching the hawks i robot and i'm tapped wallace and joining us today to discuss the days of world war three escalation and political pitfalls from the house and at the one the only history thanks to end of the thank you pharrell good to be with you always a pleasure so soledad i think the question on everyone's minds today is as has president donald trump to do this and do this potential war three scenario in syria with russia. it's interesting senator rand paul actually responded to trump's tweets today tweeting out his own tweet saying promising promising war by tweet insults not only the constitution but every soldier puts their life on the line what's interesting that is that's like the only. person in congress i've really heard truly respond to what's going on between what's happening right now well
12:32 pm
there's a number of possibilities here first of all the president could be actually very serious and now i'm saying to the russians get out of the way we're going to do something about assad whether we have proof or not it could be a negotiating tactic to see exactly how russia will respond and how assad will respond. or it could be maybe his meds didn't kick in until later in the day i don't know i mean the country. the world should be on the edge of their seat from the standpoint that in my lifetime this is the first time a superpower namely russia has said to another superpower if you get a country we're going to respond and i think that the president is gambling with the response of the russians here which i think is dangerous territory and totally unnecessary and i'm surprised that there's not more chatter on capitol hill or more concern on capitol hill especially from the opposition party who can't stand this president where is robert byrd he's in his grave whereas ted kennedy he's in his
12:33 pm
grave the democrats are dreadfully silent tonight in support i guess silence give support over what the president is that least thinking about doing advertising that he's going to hit syria russia get out of the way oh yeah i think that's i think it's not seeing anything anybody on the left of really having that anti-war it's as if there are no anti-war voices in congress i mean why and you know even during the two thousand and three you bring up to the iraq war we had some people that now that were saying something and now we're not now let's say that the united states fires missiles into syria and russia makes good on on their statement and shoots them down. what happens next where does the escalation go from that will that's the scary thing no one knows and no one on capitol hill is asking that question that's what's even more ominous how well thought out is this the
12:34 pm
united states i would go so far as to say is they don't completely know who the technology that exists in syria right now and if they have they certainly haven't said anything about it and no one on capitol hill is saying think about it but we do know that the israelis did respond after this chemical attack and some of their missiles were shot out of the sky now this brings us to a whole new level of technological warfare the last time the united states the the trumpet ministration the commander in chief hit syria was a year ago. these missiles were fired they hovered over the target and then they all hit at once well what kind of technology do the russians have are they going to be able to pick these missiles out of the sky as they hover are they identify a ball are they stealth could heat seeking missiles pick a mop i mean obviously these cruise missiles run on some kind of propulsion so there is a lot of questions here and when you're when you're dealing with two superpowers
12:35 pm
suddenly like we are we're it's not it's no longer the u.s. dropping a bomb on afghanistan and iraq you know we're talking about you know potentially dropping a bomb on syria where there's russians where there's representation of that other superpower that's where that question of what kind of talk like you're asking a brilliant question of what kind of technology do they have but could potentially thwart that and that's the thing what happens if the u.s. gets bored of normally all or bomb strikes happen. you know most of them head it was a boy but there has never been a response put in front of the united states the way in my lifetime until now you know the last time we were in a situation like this was khrushchev in canada ok so there was a back channel communication is there a back channel communication right now between russia and the united states and i think we have to be the the network of record telling the american people this is serious stuff and the fact that there are no dissenting voices on capitol hill is
12:36 pm
just as troubling as the president tweeting out advertising that the missiles are on the way we just don't know when and i think the lack of that comes from the russia gate hysteria that's been out of the democratic party you know the question of how to go kind of the neo liberal wing of the neo con conservative wings of that and saying no russia evil russia evil and that's what that's where you don't see this idea that maybe we need to step back and think about the heat we don't know what the russian military will do we don't know if it will. b. intercepting missiles the announcement from one of the ambassadors to another country was that they would also go after the origin of the launch. or the american people or the lawmakers on capitol hill willing to tolerate possibly an american ship being taken out how do we know the iranians won't get involved with some of the hardware that they have for this there's too many unanswered questions here
12:37 pm
this is too much winging it going on for lack of a better term this is russian roulette why are we going down this road for assad who has been marginalized internationally ok he did a chemical attack on his people he didn't do it on another country were not invited into syria there are still shoddy evidence as to whether it was actually the syrians in the first place were willing to do this and do this gamble without hard evidence without the word absolute proof being put involved here i think it's a fool's errand i think you're seeing the brits now getting cold feet if there is such a great ally why aren't they on board with the president mr president whatever you want to do we're with you apparently those days are over because now we have gone from a nerve agent attack on a double agent which was retired for a number of years to being absolute proved by the brits to all of a sudden the brits saying well wait a minute we're not really sure about what's going on in syria or to many unanswered
12:38 pm
questions not enough questions being asked on capitol hill we're in dangerous territory very dangerous territory and you you mentioned the brits and that's the next thing i'm curious about is where the rest of the world is going to stand on this when we really start you know seeing the countries lined up there's two very distinct sides we're seeing formed here do we know where turkey stands on this do we know what china might do do do do we know that kim jong un you know might get a little goofy why take this chance why do this. i just think. there's it's time for this president to learn something that he's not used to doing and that's cogitate you know great great we're very very brilliant the interesting thing is that after that initial missile twee went out and everybody's you know sort of we all took that collective breath because. after president suggested putin go to the white house i felt that somewhere like ok we're going to talk about this
12:39 pm
and you wake up to these tweets and then you tweets out this which is our relationship with russia is worse now than it has ever been and that includes the cold war there is no reason for this russia needs us to help with their economy something that would be very easy to do and we need all nations to work together to following that tweet you then put the blame for all of this at the reason it's escalating the reason it's such a mass is because on russia gaiters what he what the president said was much of the bad blood with russia is caused by the fake and corrupt russia investigation headed up by. the all democrat loyalists or people that work for obama is there any truth to this saying you know all of this sort of did this or you know. nobody's hand seem entirely clean it's the president is responsible for what he says and what he does but at some point we're now in a situation where no one could have an intelligent focus on the gun was taken aback this morning when that first tweet came out and the first thing i thought about was alec baldwin in the movie of twenty five years ago or so the hunt for red october
12:40 pm
my god he's gone mad ok you know one knows exactly where the president stands on this i mean he tweets out to the world that missiles are on the way before the pentagon has given him an absolute plan on exactly how this is all going to unfold for every action there's a reaction right now there's a stated reaction that's going to be done by a superpower that has been threatened on a number of levels the positioning of missiles are offensive missiles in europe which was something that obama and putin got. hey wire on and here comes trump on the campaign trail said would it be good to get along with russia and now we fast forward to get out of the way here come the missiles yeah yeah yeah and the thing that really is interesting about this as well as it as an american citizen looking at all this happening no one has gotten on t.v. yet to tell us why we should care about syria there is no how america is no ted kennedy there's no robert byrd ok the i believe that the tweet from rand paul is
12:41 pm
very honorable and certainly to the point but no one has stood up on the senate floor and said do we really know what we're doing and where this is do we have a conclusion to this or is this just the president b.s. and everybody right now interests of the american people how are the american people served by going after assad in syria these are the questions that no one's asking the american people are too busy looking at the risk a pictures of stormy daniels say there's too much of a fever pitch attitude to get rid of this president on capitol hill trying to speculate who he's going to fire next and see if he can walk into a constitutional crisis so we can get rid of him how about let's saving the country before we save trump or over or save the country before we render a decision on trump most definitely i had soltz news with that always a pleasure to have you on today has so much they are so much they're always that way and we're going to record watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered and facebook and twitter sphere full shows at our t.v. dot com coming up the department of homeland security and some mysterious plans for
12:42 pm
journalists near and far and then we discover the empty calories and junk food and the musician moby stay tuned to watch the hawks. there's strong pressure find a security cap and that's by the pentagon and by jimmy joe. trying to do something about it so you could probably at some stage she might give in to this pressure but i don't think it is his intention what i consider more likely another u.s. military attack on syria is that the united states policy build the eat to wreck
12:43 pm
any ethic by the russians to texans iranians to find a political solution. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront ation let it be an arms race is on offense spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. out as journalism in the pan the news media is one of the hosts are some of the most precious resources needed to maintain a free and healthy society which is why since two thousand and one here in the
12:44 pm
united states greedy corporations corrupt government agencies and self promoting politicians have been working hard to drive good honest journalism into the pages of history books so when bloomberg government recently reported that the united states department of homeland security is making a list of journalists and checking it twice the the fascism hairs on the back of my neck stood up and said whoa whoa whoa according to bloomberg the d h us wants to monitor hundreds of thousands of news sources around the world and compile a database. journalists editors foreign correspondents and bloggers to identify top media influencers and that is seeking a contractor that can help monitor the additional traditional news sources as well as social media and identify any and all coverage related to the agency or particular event so the question is hawk watchers is just what is the d.h.s.s. up to and why are they so suddenly interested in monitoring the news media to have
12:45 pm
the was what do you think i mean we know that we know that the you know homeland security they would never never ever ever ever use the guise of national security to marginalize journalists or to criminalize their activities is why because we haven't watched that for the last forever. i mean i'm not surprised this is one of those things that you see that list and you go really but everything's retro now we're rebuilding everything apparently you know we did mccarthyism and now you know what make less blacklist. we know that's that's like language and then they can just memo us what's appropriate and appropriate and the da just can tell us what of that it could be because the digit has done such a great job with you know the security of airline travel you know they've been i mean bang up on that how much you know how much more secure are we now that we know
12:46 pm
it's interesting if the security the media monitoring services play a much the maybe this thing the media monitoring service called google it was advertised you know basically the water for lack of a better term was our ties that april third at fed dot gov check it out if you're a contractor you can go there and apply if you want to monitor journalist with a home you know for the party room security but you've got to get in quick because the deadline says the contractor applicants is the deadline is april thirteenth. short term that's all they're given lives is like we've got to get this out and get it quick and i have a feeling that's partly. the one of the only like ten days because the longer it sits there the more risk of people finding it would be like what's going on here right now also there are rules about they have to post certain jobs government jobs have to be publicly posted for at least a week right and which means somebody is probably already hired for somebody is
12:47 pm
enough use for other something or other the want of that i thought was really what the interesting thing about the want out was that it said it was seeking a contractor who could track global online services or sources for coverage that was relevant to washington and the scope for this one contractor is greater than two hundred and ninety thousand two hundred ninety to two hundred ninety thousand new sources including just about every type of communication and method we know today is going to one contractor who's going to be keeping this list and monitoring all every journalist in every tweet and every belonging most all over the world and that says almost three hundred thousand. so this is what the best part is though they'll give you all the things that all the tools you need really helpful if there will be there will be this is funny they said they would provide the surveillance contractor with an oh it's password protected by the follow up but it's faster protective and house where it protected what they called
12:48 pm
a media influence or data database which as. the new american pointed out so deftly had said this clearly indicates the departure of homeland security is already selected many of it's more than two hundred ninety thousand targets and it's merely looking for a company that can handle the grunt work of moderating those media sources literally the rest of us monitor media sources through. there's a million ways to do it how much of our taxpayer money again so you're making a list and having somebody set there and track or set in. and you know i'm sorry what really threw me with that is that wait so they already have the list they already know who they want to spy on they already know who they want to follow be bothered to actually find us they'd rather outsource they'd rather outsource it to somebody of wow department of homeland security even when you're trying to be george orwell you still outsource the root the i mean come on you guys at least try a little bit tyler of the d h s sounded off on twitter ready for this he said
12:49 pm
despite what some reporters may suggest this is nothing more than the standard practice of monitoring current events in the media any suggestion otherwise is for tinfoil hat wearing black helicopter conspiracy theorists. really that's us oh yeah well that's a very serious errors because the united states government and any of its departments would never never go after journalists they would never try to accuse them of being double agents or spying. by on the roman jail for talking with whistleblowers you know never obviously never heard of it. ninety's musician and being an activist moby has been terribly busy with his disseminating information for the central intelligence agency alleging that he moby actually invented the i phone and releasing an album that one critic described as movies everything was beautiful and nothing hurt is that or then it's cover art but not by
12:50 pm
much going on to write that it seems that moby's upset and he wants to scream at everybody to stop making terrible choices but at the same time he's trying to be compassionate and understanding he failed this week when he had an intellectually lazy self-indulgent think piece for the wall street journal entitled food stamps shouldn't be for junk in which he rallies against the unhealthy choices that bore people make with the money they're given by the government for food stamps more commonly known as snap the program here in the united states will be claims among other things that the reason that poor people tend to buy less expensive process food with food stamps is because quote the food industry pushes the notion that poor people demand junk food and will complain it's not cuts them off. no no lobbyist is actually arguing that on capitol hill they argue it could hurt their bottom line and would force them to admit that they're healthy alternatives are just as bad as cola but no one no industry is on capitol hill saying they're concerned about poor people might complain about something but at least they're
12:51 pm
honest about their agenda what's not honest is moby claiming he wants to feed poor people but only on his terms and doing so on the blood soaked pages of the wall street journal which if they were on this would be called how to suck the last bit of marrow from the bones of the poor really. says it all but turtle mystic nanny state liberalism in the form of reagan era talking point a path. and pass me the snaps wow that you know this is one of those things like i love when people speak out i'm one of those people where speaking out on the subject matters sometimes i try to know everything about it sometimes i don't and i just pretend i do but we're not kidding. and but this is one of those moments where it's like seriously at least you know what you know. great now that you're good at one point you're against work requirements for snap which i think is a you know what the course like you know people should be required to be able to get discount food because they're too poor you know poor for free food right but
12:52 pm
let's not forget that what we know from the u.s. department of agriculture is that a majority of the single people joy to those filing for snap are single people and families in the program either you know already work or are back to work within a year of utilizing the program so it's not really like you know. this is a huge problem yeah it's a heck of a major issue it's like drug tests yeah they finally one person you know like because poor people can't afford drug right. you know and what's interesting is what we do you know says claims that he knows with being poured on assistance it can be humiliating he says and he but you know realistically you're going to make it more humiliating for people in the checkout line you know if you can if you suddenly are like forcing them to only buy this or only buy that not actually knowing how to truly reform the system and make it better right and i think. you
12:53 pm
know this idea that that you know poor people to make this they did choose this for themselves i think it's really kind of strange because they found you know the u.s.p.s. on the eighty three percent of all snap or food stamp benefits go to households that have a child. old and someone who is elderly or disabled so again so someone in a wheelchair somebody who's older early they can't have a freakin candy bar once in a while it's ridiculous any idea that the only reason that poor people have obesity is this idea that they're just picking the wrong foods with their free money is wrong you know you know everybody in this country food stamp are to be spend about five percent of their grocery bill on soda the stats everyone it's not one thing or another but i think this is the thing that really bothers me is that movies comment sort of assume that poor people choose to make on healthy decisions and that if we
12:54 pm
would just you know we should just tell them how to eat and that's what it is the just not smart enough to do themselves and i think it's the most ego maniacal nonsense that i've heard all this week and i have been listening and watching the mark zuckerberg testimony so i know you know you some you go an article and see them and i call sort of shaming for b.-ball you know when you when i look at it too it's yes i believe that this needs to be reform i believe that business is the source and capital shouldn't be lobbying so people can buy the radios rather than you know organic vegetables and that's true you can't buy certain you can't buy a really rough for certain kinds of t.v. but you're going to see but let's also understand too that there are food deserts across this country there are places where folks can go into whole foods and buy really pricey expensive foods to like feed them and keep the merge there's places where there are no real food except what's on the corner store which is really like knock off like off brand to read those maybe you know but manner of maybe you know
12:55 pm
you know like there's people who don't have any access to healthy food now they don't have access to equipment they don't have access to that you have time constraints with a lot of people and quite frankly we don't have you know processed prepackaged foods and the restrictions that they make you can't buy pre-made food you have. buy stuff that's cooked but then again it is more expensive expensive to buy that's what that is the most expensive thing it's most expensive thing so we're just going to do it and they want to wall street journal which is we're rich that is a way to be able lecturing food standing before you activists support. of all the concerns about long term space travel my most pressing is will there be a green juice and smoothies and space yes seriously the answer thankfully is yes. earlier this week researchers in antarctica as germany is now an article at germany's neumeier station three reported that they had harvested eight pounds of
12:56 pm
salad greens eighteen cucumber seventy radishes and it was all grown without a lick of dirt sunlight for pesticides the project would just began on january twenty eighth and is expected to produce another ten pounds of fruit and vegetables along with expansion of crops just in the next few months these innovative hydroponics n l e d lighting developed in this project will give astronauts and travelers the chance to survive and thrive and stay so let us turn of the b. to get corning on the trip to the final frontier a lot of problems in the last one folks look absolutely your world right now and there's a lot of danger there's a lot of people who want to see a lot of death and dismemberment in this world and that's why it's important to know that you know we are being told we're loved enough so i'm going to tell you i love you because it's important to hear those words right now i am to overthrow on top of the lawless keep on watching those hawks and have a great day and night everybody.
