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 where i don't look if someone is legitimately a threat to the country in the running for a full out 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 look forward to having you on through my pleasure thank you as we go to break clock 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 dot com coming up filmmaker cory rowe went through the hawk's nest to discuss his new documentary film on p.t.s.d. and u.s. military veterans file but you don't want to miss this state to the watching the whole.

we've all gotten used to it the media hate trump and the president returns the favor in kind o. is this mutually charged hate fest changed media and journalism just the corporate liberal media to report the news anymore and is. i think profession in the service

of partisanship. in some american cities the police have killed 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 freedom. you can see something happening in this is not i don't want to call the cops let that happen rather than call the cops in those young black men lose their lives chasing the with the team goes on the trigger you never know better safe than sorry i don't know that someone else is going to. unfortunately around here we end up with our guns on the dance told from so much because she was true in the you.

know montrose ubiquitous in american politics as support our troops from the yellow ribbons lining suburban streets to the widespread memorial day parades and remembered ceremonies that our nation seems to surprisingly focused 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 last month long waits at v.a. facilities as a giveaway of our government's glaring oversight of the real issues affecting about germs 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. 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 or 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 i especially our government where it's 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 and 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 in 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 soldier's 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. i like that and you've

spoken to col 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's 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 lose change 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 to get my life in a positive direction and that's what i'm really trying to do is just share my story and the story of other veterans in america how how does a veteran of p.t.s.d. usually manifest if you have someone in a family as a veteran or if your friend does or things like that 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 in my p.t.s.d. start to kick and i'm having what's known as a fight or flight response my body is telling me and 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 understand what a 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 voters 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 a. 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. of it is it and when you realize you have the numbers or you talk about how many homeless veterans are in this country and all that it truly is staggering 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. and 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 premier 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 issue explain 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 in every community better solutions if the government can do it have no other entity can do it than 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 so at that leaves the next question i ask you what what are some easy commonsense solutions as best they can be and 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 bringing the community into 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 a look spam to the rest of the outlets and 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 you 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 hard head 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 of 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 loved enough so it's tell you all i love. tyrrel but keep on watching those talks and have a great day and night everybody.

i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to get off of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. i don't think that is our that are out here. much as you. can tell us a little. hard to believe. but that little bit are allowed them to tell you the other side of the mike on the and . by then got a session on their own. by then is a shift the balance. all of a sudden the mccain audience i don't know most is going on want. some sort of filler but not so with. them you know so it was a bit hard to get the multiple injuries among current america so for them to give

sophie hope the look of the show's real year mars on the phone to the bone lot more on the if you can book a complete profitable so this is a yes but i don't know that it's a book in a moral sense of what a month. the be on a minute of nothing. off allowed me. something that was. on long enough something not set in. the market as a lead to huddles look ma says that's what i can and i need maybe i'm moving forward left so. 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 journalism a big profession in the service of partisanship. script piled the woman poisoned in the u.k. a long double agent father is given their first media interview since the incident saying a life's been turned upside down and that she wants to return some time to russia. and that lines today north korea gears up to close its only nuclear site as part of that bargain with the u.s. we've been given rare access in our correspondent is reporting on route. but as you can see behind me we're being greeted like celebrities here those who go to north korea. the u.s. ambassador to israel controversially poses with an altered photo of jerusalem with

a very very strong one you don't even know that the nation is where we go we don't. know which trail we're in the plot means we have compartments. in that we all. are such lines. from any or all of the train journalists currently on board that train i've got an eleven hour trip in total with all the windows covered up for the duration of the journey in fact that we're given strict instructions of power in not to open those blinds then they get to the remote mountain area crews are going to spend several more hours traveling by bus and then finally an hour with all that kitten stuff on foot to the site itself before boarding the train igor sent us this report documenting his journey from china to north korea's one son. we're in the beijing

international airport and as you can see behind me we're being greeted like celebrities to have those troops go to north korea we've been here for the past couple of days and all journalist spots of this press tour have been amassed in the chinese capital because that's where we got our visas that's what we where we got our tickets and now we will be proceeding to check in to our flights that those are the windows that we're waiting for the personnel and so i'll be signing off for you hopefully greeting you from north korea itself next time so this is the choreo flights we will be taking to get inside north korea thing is we aren't even exactly sure as to where exactly we're headed because according to our media to documents we're going to the southern port city of one sound but according to our boarding passes we're headed to the north korean capital pyongyang so i guess the north the option but to find out on board the plane. at the same time it seems

seems you know we're going to pyongyang or two once on. one time thank you. so there are roughly twenty john that's here on this plane and so as we're going to one son i just want to give you clips of what's going on on board would be given out press releases like this one for example please be only on time it's mostly about politics but also features pieces like recipes for this rice and month or in the case also we've been given and this is very very kind of colorful a colby a magazine which features everything from the latest one as to what's been going on like in the life of him to the supreme leader of north korea but also honored peaches panoramas old young and the like to pieces like the ones for example of how the political will be beat.

so you walk out of any airport what's the first thing you expect to see it's a bustling crowd of people pushing and shoving it's a taxi drivers offering their often overpriced services well check this out nothing of the sort here it's just an empty parking lot and three buses that will take us to the city. this is a huge very rare. this hour. so far so good then meantime follow eagar on twitter is posting details and photos from that reclusive

country every can find out what kind of food you might expect in north korea to rethought about that and have a look around the local hotels to see what they're like check it all eager will be posting but we promise you in full. whether or not america's ambassador to israel is coming for criticism after he was seen posing with a rather controversial gift david friedman was presented with a photograph of one of the most sacred places in jerusalem but the image had been altered to show the jewish third temple on the site where the islamic the dome of the rock is currently situated the third temple is a biblical reference to a new place of reference worship to replace an ancient one that was destroyed because a lot of trouble the u.s. embassy's asked for an apology saying the envoy was unaware that he was being given a doctored picture the region still really of course from those deadly protests against the relocation of the embassy to jerusalem is our middle east correspondent polis leah. the photograph immediately sparked fierce criticism from the muslim

world sabah erica who is the secretary general of the palestine liberation organization the p.l.o. there's a friedman expressed to quote rude and hypocritical behavior you then have the tb who is an arab israeli law maker and comes from the israeli arab dominated political alliance called the joint let's and he has responded to the photographs by saying that this madman wants to bring peace a good thing you didn't put the embassy there at the same time we're hearing that the american ambassador has apologized friedman must not the word thrust in front of him when the. he was deeply disappointed that anyone would take advantage of his visit to create controversy the u.s. policy is absolutely clear we support the status quo on her arm to use temple mount now here which is the organization from which the man who gave the president came from has expressed its own concerns about the incident it says that the man

who presented the picture actually acted on his own behalf but the problem is that the american ambassador already has a record of controversy even before this event he is a supporter of israeli settlements in palestinian territory and in the past he's also called on the u.s. state department to stop calling the west bank israeli occupied territory and this incident comes at a very unfortunate time it follows the inauguration of the new u.s. embassy in jerusalem from its original base in tel aviv and as you well know that sparked a barrage of both international and regional criticism this might provoke further tensions it builds the rhetoric against the u.s. policies it would pressure governments to go in face of the and against the interests of the united states and at the same time there would be protests which are already been organized for quite some time right now in the passing interest is over the two months we lost one hundred thirteen people thirteen thousand injuries

. already so this would only add fuel to the fire. there the u.s. military central command general joseph votel says america will no shift its focus in syria destabilizing the region and monitoring the dangerous pockets that remain first despite president trump saying only this month that the u.s. would pull its troops out of syria very soon while the u.s. decides and on whether or not to stay in the region a survey of arab youngsters in the middle east suggests the majority view the u.s. as an adversary it also concludes that russia has cemented its position as the top known arab ally of syria chorus bottom or goes to of looks and acts and how america's strategy has failed to win over hearts and minds. you can see why trump wanted a new middle east strategy the old one wasn't working allies are unhappy people aren't waving american flags forecasts failed were.
