right i mean when you give us an attorney or a prosecutor unfettered access to go after anybody for anything you're going to find stuff on lots of people and that's that's the shame of it all it really is you know lots of people who did absolutely nothing and already accused of doing anything had to go higher very expensive lawyers to accompany them to testify either before the dollar or before the senate or house committees and it ruins lives financially speaking if not reputations as well you're right you're right you could probably find you could indict a ham sandwich is the expression and i believe that's true most definitely i mean like i kind of at the beginning is that what really concerns me is that if we allow this kind of behavior to take place where we allow the intelligence communities to kind of spy on the candidates the whether you like them or not or agree with them or not there has to be more than opposition opposition research to instigate that spying there's got to be more i mean i don't i mean look if someone is legitimately

a threat to the country in the running for office yes you should take a look and say ok is this person dangerous but at the end of the day it's got to be more than just apo research because everybody does that and really how bad it scares me and how would you like to be under investigation by the f.b.i. when the f.b.i. agents are texting to each other this guy's in eighty eight we have to have an insurance policy against him winning and i mean come on great that's a great point steve malzberg always a pleasure to have you on and talk with you and. soon my pleasure thank you as we go to break lock watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our poll shows that are coming up filmmaker corey rowe enters the hawk's nest to discuss his new documentary film on p.t.s.d. and us military veterans mile mark you don't want to miss this stay tune for watchable.

we are now experiencing the end of a thirty year bull market in bonds which means are entering a period of rising interest rates and so the urgency to get deals done before that any cost is applied toward financing whatsoever needs to happen quickly so i predict in the next twenty four months we're going to see the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever in history by a factor of ten just thirty or forty percent of everything that's traded out there gets gobbled up and taken private. i am a staunch mystically much if i do business in the system it's in the food industry in the one nine hundred ninety s. . i'm going to stop taking that and knights and what does that have to do with g.m.

it. was just. almost sort of. like it's a chemical plant least khaliq. was it was widely believed there was like it is. a crime scene and runs are various possible combinations of the kind of future scientists truth to see in context really awful on the human race to sign a surface to wells free of g.m.'s in crisis eight would be even be able to see as we passed the points of never send.

no mantras ubiquitous in american politics as support our troops from the yellow ribbons lining suburban streets to the widespread memorial day parades and remembered ceremonies in our nation's seems to surprisingly focus on commemorating respecting and remembering while running circles around the actual point of helping veterans returning home from combat or injured in battle perhaps the months long months long waits at v.a. facilities is a giveaway of our government's glaring oversight of the real issues affecting veterans or perhaps it's the complete lack of discourse about the startling number of homeless veterans at our cities and the fact that over twenty veterans a day commit suicide nationwide that is why korey rowe the producer and director of the famed nine eleven documentary loose change has now moved on to his next project

mile marker he joins us now on the show for a preview of his latest documentary thank you for coming on cory. thanks for having me on man hey i want to ask and you know you're a veteran you're served two tours i got to ask why did you set out to make mile marker what what what is your objective with this documentary. my objective with this documentary is to let other veterans with p.t.s.d. know that they're not alone it's been fifteen years since my unit invaded afghanistan and iraq and my fellow battle buddies are struggling they're struggling with drug addiction legal problems family problems depression overmedicated just really being run through the gamut they're just being attacked like a four pronged attack for veterans are being overprescribed medication they're not getting into treatment so there's a lot of things that veterans need help with and as you said there's this kind of feeling in america where we need to thank them and and we need to remember them but not actually help them and so i wanted to raise awareness for veteran issues in

america and hopefully get these veterans who need it some real and actual help you as a veteran why why do you feel that there's that disconnect between you know society here and especially our government works like oh we're going to parade everybody we're going to you know memorials and things like that at football games and fly jets over but we're not actually going to do the work to help why is there that disconnect. americans love their soldiers to go and fight their wars but they don't care what happens once they get out of the service and it's unfortunate but it's a true reality and i really want to bring to the forefront what they're going through i mean as i traveled across the country from los angeles to remonde back i traveled over seven thousand miles and interviewed over twenty two individuals with specific ties to the p.t.s.d. world and what people don't know about this is quite incredible there's some significant issues going on with veterans and till we get some real help for these guys it's only going to get worse and it's systemic it's systemic from the d o d to the v.a. and into the soldiers personal lives we have so many things that we can address and

fix for these guys and we need to start the conversation so that's what i'm hoping to do i'm hoping to start the conversation at least pushed into the forefront around this memorial day season good good for you i like that and now you've spoken to college was about as you said you're traveling across the country twenty two veterans and making mile marker and like i mentioned yourself or a veteran but what's curious what are really interesting is what was the most surprising thing that you learned or realized in the process of making this documentary. one of the most unfortunate things that i learned through this process is that guys who get a bad conduct discharge guys who come home from war who served honorably in combat and transition poorly into garrison life they can easily be discharged from the military under an other than honorable or bad conduct discharge because of their behavior in gerritsen what this translates to is a complete removal of their benefits they and some cases also have to repay their bonuses upwards of twenty thousand dollars these guys then have the same rights as felons and struggle to get a job and provide for their families this is

a huge issue that americans are not aware of and we need to fix it immediately and some of the most common reasons that these guys are getting kicked out is for the use of cannabis which if you really look at it is actually them attempting to treat the p.t.s.d. which is already gone untreated and so the third act of this movie focuses heavily on cannabis and its positive effects for veterans. over the choice of pharmaceuticals because as i said the v.a. the standard model is this ship you know garbage bags full of pills to these guys and we're talking opiates barbiturates massive psychoactive drugs that can represent p.t.s.d. like symptoms we need to remove these guys from these these really powerful drugs and get them on something more natural and at the same time get them into actual treatment so that they can understand the triggers that are happening in their mind and understand what p.t.s.d. really is because again that's another really confusing thing that a lot of people don't understand is how p.t.s.d. manifests and what it looks like inside of our soldiers and in mile marker you see this time and again you see all these stories of all these different veterans in

different ways showing that there are p.t.s.d. manifesting and it's something that not a lot of people are used to and when these guys have these problems in their society instead of being labeled as someone with p.t.s.d. they're simply labeled as a problem and i was one of these people i struggled after a loose change i my p.t.s.d. hit me really hard and i went through some really bad years and it took years of treatment and effort for me to get back on the straight and narrow and and to get my life in a positive direction and that's what i'm really trying to do is just share my story in the story of other veterans in america how does p.t.s.d. usually manifest like do you know if you have someone in a family as a veteran or if your friend is with things like you know what what what should what signs should people be looking for them what can they do to best help absolutely and so i'll give you an example of my own p.t.s.d. and how it manifests i moved here to l.a. and everybody knows that l.a. traffic is is pretty famous and for me as someone who served in afghanistan and iraq i was ambushed several times during my deployments so for me when i get stuck

in traffic that's a trigger and what happens is my body and my adrenaline starts pumping and i start to fear for what's going to happen in that situation and i start to get aggravated and agitated and else you know honk the horn or all yell at people are all try to cut around traffic and if you don't know what p.t.s.d. is you don't know how to identify the signals because veterans are adrenaline level is. already three to four times higher than the normal person walking down the street so in this situation is my adrenaline gets pumping because i'm stuck in traffic and my p.t.s.d. starts to kick in i'm having what's known as a fight or flight response my body is telling me my brain is telling me you're trained that this situation is unsafe you need to remove yourself from the situation as fast as possible and get back to your or your assembly area which is your home and so for someone who's not treated with p.t.s.d. they don't know how to identify this is a trigger and they don't know what's happening in their mind furthermore if someone's in the car with them and witnessing this person go through this kind of episode they're just they're labeled a problem like i was and their family doesn't even want to get in the car with them

so it takes a lot of education for soldiers to understand and families to understand what p.t.s.d. trigger is what your personal p.t.s.d. triggers are and how you can do a threat assessment and work that down and so at the end of the day what mile marker is really hoping to do is i'm selling treatment i want to get veterans into treatment because i want to give them a mission veterans need a mission and that mission is to live a better life that's brilliant you know i think a great example as we were talking earlier about you know the politicians and society says one thing and does another you know donald trump for you know ever there would dawdle he ran on a very clear cut promise to take care of the veterans reform the v.a. in in working with the veterans across the country and doing the research into those things has there been any slight improvement since since donald took office. no i mean i haven't seen any dramatic improvements i'll be honest i'm pretty disconnected from my government at this point i don't feel that they have a large impact on my life and everything that you were discussing in the piece

before this seems very disconnected to me and doesn't really seem to really get here to anybody that i'm working with on a day to day level so i'm haven't seen any problems all i've seen is a lot of noise or any solutions for that matter i've just seen a lot of noise and a lot of arguing and and at the same time veterans are still dying every single day and so you know i'm getting out there we stood on hollywood boulevard this past weekend with a fifteen foot long sign. and all it read was it's estimated that every day twenty two u.s. veterans take their own life and you should have seen the shock and awe on on just every day persons faces as they read this and kind of watch them you know calculate that statistic in their head and if you really think about that twenty two veterans a day estimated i mean just think about the action of someone taking their life so commonly is is heartbreaking to say the least i mean. it is it and when you realize you have the numbers you talk about how many homeless veterans are in this country and all that it truly is stagger going to breaks your heart in the process of creating mile marker did was there any cooperation whatsoever from like the

military or the v.a. or anything like that. sure yes i did get a chance to interview dr paul who is the executive director of the national center for p.t.s.d. in white river junction vermont she essentially writes the book on how the v.a. treats veterans with their p.c. and they've rolled out some pretty significant new new studies that have worked very well and i was actually a part of one of those studies it was premiered down here in long beach california i was actually paid for my involvement and went through twelve very intense psychoactive therapies that had a dramatic effect on me the v.a. is doing what they can and dr politian are is a wonderful woman and i really appreciated her time and shoot splaying things to me from her perspective but in a lot of cases the v.a.'s hands are tied by bureaucratic red tape our oversized government is just really holding a lot of things back and we need to remove that and really maybe start to introduce maybe some private industry into how to fix this because as we've seen time and again our government just is not capable of handling something of this magnitude

and as you see other private industries raising up to fill the footprint where government is lacking i think that might be a possible solution that's of that's a really interesting viewpoint i mean i really like that every community better solutions of the government can do it and the other entity can do with them people in the neighborhood people in those communities and people care about those of others they've got to pick up the slack and do it themselves and and slow of that leaves the next question i ask you what what are some easy commonsense solutions as best they can be given it's a complicated subject that people can get behind or advocate for that would be important and easy to implement and deliver some real results for these for these poor souls suffering from p.t.s.d. or trapped in the v.a. system sure thing is a great question and one of the first and foremost things we can do is education with all things like mile marker is is designed to be a conversation starter it's in hopes to educate people and then after that activate them because there's so many people out there that care about veterans but they

might not know how to actually help them so mile marker shows you a lot of different options on how soldiers. try to fight with these issues and fail and where you can step in and really have a conversation communication is key you have to communicate with your veterans you have to try to understand what's going on in their head and you have to get it out of their head so that really leads us to treatment which is first and foremost one of the most important things we can do in treatment doesn't have to be between a veteran and a doctor a treatment can be between two vets having a beer watching the sunset and talking about what they went through one of the most striking things that i learned in the differences from previous wars such as world war two to today is that during those wars soldiers were returned on a ship as a unit over a lengthy period of time several weeks in which after that they were given mustering pay and there was kind of a decompression period and they returned as units together today you can be in combat for breakfast being mortar attacked and home with your family for dinner and that is an extremely jarring transition and without proper d.-o. d.

systems in place and classes in place for people to understand how that transition is going to affect them mentally maybe not today but maybe a few years down the line they need to understand that because there is a huge mindset among veterans that they don't want anything from the v.a. or the d.o.d. and they don't want treatment and there's a stigma associated with p.t.s.d. they're going to take my guns and all that and that's why i really like your sub bring in the community and the word cora got to thank you for coming on the very quickly where can people see the movie. you can check it out right now exclusively on i tunes for the rest of this month and then we'll expand to the rest of the video the outlets and the d.v.d. in june so i really appreciate you having me on today check out mile marker film dot com you can file some follow us on social media reach out if you're a veteran and need help i'd be happy to talk to you thank you very much sir for having me on thank you very much nice day. you got to have heart kid you're not going to make the later rounds without stamina and most importantly heart that is true not just for boxing but for life quite literally according to a new study published in the journal of physiology yes after studying

a group of one hundred two books all of them over sixty researchers have found that those who exercise two to three times a week were found out more youthful and middle sized arteries leading to a healthier longer life and well exercise leading to a healthier longer life is old news what is new news however is that this study was able to pin down exactly how many days a person should work out each week based on the size of their arteries yes my friend size does indeed matter especially in matters of the heart and that is our show for you today remember of the one in this world we are not told beloved enough so it's tell you all i love. tyrrel but keep on watching those hawks and have a great day and night everybody. we've all gotten used to it the media hates trump and the president returns the favor in kind o. is this mutually charged hate fest changed media and journalism does the corporate liberal media report the news anymore and is journal

a big profession in the service of partisanship. in some american cities the police have built themselves cling to reputation people who walk on the street to be united states who are at risk from the very people who are supposed to protect that were people in no more afraid of police than of us in the us. you can see some. happening this is like i don't want to call the cops let that happen rather than call the cops in and those young black men lose their lives chasing the with their fingers on the trigger you never know better safe than sorry i don't know that someone else is going to gun so. unfortunately around and around here we end up playing our guns are told from such precautions to. fifty years ago breaking and within to come together as

a sleeping pill does this is what i mean because octets does what he said to the scientific what terrible but not on known as shown in dutch one football. the war. will come up across europe victims are starting legal battles demanding at least some compensation. in two ways first will the physical damage itself as well as the constant mind that the people who actually perpetrated this crime has never been able to justice and there has been a couple. there was not over obama from our barbara on that i am proud to have i prefer. who.

can go to. her by her birth right was. donald trump casts doubt on next month's planned meeting with north korea's kim jong un saying the historic talks may be delayed or may not take place at all. we are working on something and you know there's a chance that it'll work out there's a chance it's a very substantial chance it will work out. i. protest against government reforms turning violent in paris with demonstrators clashing with police there are a number of injured. and the british government is sharply criticized for its response to the fire almost a year on from the tragedy a public inquiry is only now getting underway and looking into why some two people

lost their lives in the london tower block i don't think they're doing enough awful lot of government haven't done enough not nearly enough no that's not even close i can see. them broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team thomas really glad to have you with us. now donald trump says his much anticipated summit with north korea on the twelfth of june might not happen he made the comment during a meeting with the south korean president jane in the u.s. capital and both washington and pyongyang have previously suggested that they may not be willing to hold talks certain conditions are met samir khan has more. well according to trump the summit could take place or it might not even take place but the president has never really been one hundred percent sure we are working on

something and you know there's a chance that it'll work out there's a chance it's a very substantial chance that it won't work out that doesn't mean it won't work out over a period of time but it may not work out for june twelfth i think it will be verging sessile but as i always say who knows what's going to happen you know i often say who knows who knows how it all works maybe if you everything can be scuttled everything can be sped off but speaking of mixed messages on one hand a special coin is being produced just ahead of the summit of depicting the two leaders meeting and all smiles then there's trouble guaranteeing him safety and promising that north korea will be a rich country he will be safe he will be happy his country will be rich but then on the other hand tribes threatening the libya scenario the model if you look at that model with gadhafi that was a total decimation we went in there to beat him now that model would take place if

we don't make a deal most likely but let's quickly remind ourselves what happened in libya in two thousand and three gadhafi renounced his nuclear program but despite that he was overthrown in a nato led campaign years later so not a fairy tale ending for gadhafi but it's not just rhetoric that could be jeopardizing diplomacy there's also joint military drills being held between the u.s. and south korea on north korea's doorstep but thankfully some are questioning the need to provoke young yang especially considering the historic meeting that took place last month between the north and south and this also comes at a very special time just as the u.s. is going back on its word to adhere to the iran deal pulling out of it entirely so i'm sure that north korea is taking all of these factors into consideration before agreeing to deal with the u.s. we heard from analysts daniel mcadams and kevin martin about how the development will affect the recent death toll. well it is interesting to see how trump and this

is top advisor seem to be at all as with each other i don't know if his management style is to create chaos and see if some order comes from it or what in fact may be his style problem is that washington confuses the idea of negotiation with the idea of surrender the meeting for trump and him in singapore should have been the beginning of a dialogue of a process instead john bolton others have laid down the law here's what you've got to do i think bolton said tell us where we should send our planes to pick up your stuff and take it away i mean if i would north korea particularly watching it how the u.s. tore up the iran agreement if you had any mind at all you would be very very skeptical it's very important that people understand that president moon of south korea is really the most important president here not trump i know trump thinks it's always all about him but president moon of south korea i believe is the one who's really in the driver's seat here and they are playing a very important role both in terms of south north korea relations but also bringing the united states along it is possible that north and south korea could

continue to build their relations there are a lot of economic issues that they could work on diplomatic issues reunification of families that have been separated. meanwhile north korea is gearing up to dismantle a nuclear test site located in the remote north east is the country's only known nuclear site there have been six tests there since two thousand and six is one of the few news channels that has been invited to witness the destruction of the new facility you go just on off is and route. now it took us about two hours to get here from beijing that's where we got our visas that's where we got our plane tickets as we took a regular charter flights into north korea not many people on board only twenty journalists or so were invited and many more wanted to come but well couldn't right now we're in the city over once and it's a south eastern city in north korea and it is a resort site the test site that is said to be dismantled it is lays some six

hundred kilometers away from here and we will be taking an eleven hour train to get there and then we will be writing for four more hours by car and hiking for another hour but we're being told that the spectacle is well worth it the whole site will be razed to the ground technical buildings reduced to rubble tunnels in the mountains also blown up right now we don't know when this trip or when this is going to happen exactly but definitely in the upcoming days. it's turning into a spring of discontent in france with fresh protests in paris against president social and economic reforms turning a violent and artificial debates key earlier witnessed how peaceful rally descended in just a matter of minutes. the crowd is swelling here in paris this is just one of the around a hundred and thirty demonstrations taking place at cross fronts. coldblooded

on productive they've been joined by one of the mainline unions who votes which represents a life point seven million people across the country as you can see at the police here they're forming a line some barriers are trying to stop some people from moving forward towards those crowds but really in the last ten or fifteen minutes or so this protest which was entirely peaceful has a chime for the worst. it. was just cool to see in the middle of clashes between the police and the protesters the police have come and pushed the protesters back you might be able to see the crowds about one hundred fifty meters away from. the dance if you notice of confrontations between the police and protesters could start to go with the protests this smashing up shops as you might have seen that smashing up bus stops the police responding to gas a week ago could tell in that c.v.s.

. the we've also seen some demonstrators who appeared to have been injured there was one man just sitting down a few moments ago with a blood a poor ring down his head the police are in the middle of this action now where they're all skinny as she moved away was. that. was you know i mean he was getting would go to represent about five point seven million workers here in front but again that idea of voicing their concerns on the streets has been hijacked once more by the violence that we've seen for. the small number of protests is. well almost a year on from the ground fell fire in london in which seventy two people died a public inquiry has officially been launched it opened with emotional testimony

from victims' families and survivors one spoke of how his son was stillborn just hours after the tragedy and please be aware that you might find some of the following video upsetting to watch so i told my son. coping is what i treat my wife. she's made of the hardest thing to do i know. it was a strength coach so that would be. more

survivors will give their accounts over the next week or so and the probe will then look into wider issues like the government's response time and preventative actions dear tutor as been to me locals who say that they are frustrated at how little has changed. it's almost been a year since the devastating blaze and what's left of the grenfell tower could be seen here behind the scaffolding it's a harrowing reminder of a tragedy that has left many questions unanswered i. know there are over hundreds of tower blocks in london alone.
