this is is i'm sorry pathetically laughable on many accounts i don't know if he actually thought he was doing people a favor by this where he said listen i don't know how to break it to you but me thinks perhaps this might not be an actual legitimate authentic photo just letting you know because after all i am the new york times technical expert here just wanted to let you folks now in case per chance you thought president trump and a full suit wearing a suit was in a row boat handing out maga hats to flood victims who case you might have thought the the gold standard of american journalism at one point has been so many acted by
9:31 pm
this this this anti trump his steria and other versions of anti that they've lost that only their sense of humor i do sense of fair play and their sense of of journalistic correctness and out today's have the latest stay tuned for watching the whole thing right. it seemed wrong. to me. to shape out just because the ticket and indeed it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.
9:32 pm
greetings and salutations the now over seven year conflict in syria has created five point six million refugees according to the un refugee agency and it's any wonder considering the very nations claiming to be trying to create peace and syria are the ones doing most of the proxy warring in that country the very proxy war is destroying the nation and leaving its people homeless and adrift in the middle east to beyond and while many refuges want to return home return home to rebuild their of their lives they fear being dragged into even more conflict especially young men men at risk of construction into the syrian army or any of the various terrorists and rebel groups in the region lebanon which is hosting nearly nine hundred seventy
9:33 pm
six thousand syrian refugees voiced the concerns of them major general head of lebanon's general security directorate told reuters that when there is no longer a big military battles in syria many young men will return meaning those young male syrian refugees around the world the very ones that were painted as terrorists in a risk we're the ones trying to refrain from killing in the name of endless war but well refugees ponder the future u.s. white house national security adviser john bolton seems to make it clear that the united states and its allies aren't getting out of syria any time soon even if isis is defeated telling reporters at the u.n. general assembly quote we're not going to leave as long as a rainy and troops are outside arabian borders and that includes a radio and proxies and militias which might be one of the reasons why the russian military as it has announced that they will be providing syria with eight s. three hundred missile defense systems after
9:34 pm
a recent accident with the israeli air force which caused the deaths of fifteen russian airmen so as the united nations general assembly kicks off and leaders from around the. fight the war of words the innocent victims of war never stop watching the hogs. the. real with. the bottom. like you that i got. to. welcome everybody to watch i am top of the law listen joining me from minnesota. and let's just. and from here in d.c. i'd like to welcome former pentagon official michael maloof to help us make sense
9:35 pm
of the hocking going on welcome back. and michael thank you. here you know i got to just say very quickly you know that's awful bold talk from mr bolton who you know decided that the vietnam war wasn't go it worth it going into when it was his time to serve in and hid out from the maryland you know hid out in the maryland mashable guard back in nineteen seventy rather a lot of bold talk from mr bolton but michael i want to jump over and begin with you and ask you a monsieur the executive director of tel aviv university's institute for national security studies he posted this comment on twitter earlier he said the supply of s. three hundred increases the risk from unprofessional syrian operators to russia's air forces first and foremost to israel to the united states and the coalition and likewise to civil aviation mike i want to ask you how is the sale of these defense systems a threat to israel and how does it show escalation on the part of russia and syria
9:36 pm
as so many are claiming and arguing well the best. hundreds are a much more advanced system than the u.s. two hundred so that the syrians now have i think basically has created a de facto no fly zone with respect to israeli surprise attacks into syria at least for the time being and it's not going to necessarily be the syrians who will be manning those us three hundred b.n. to a much more advanced system than the u.s. two hundred it probably will be russians and that's one of the things that i think would be of concern to the israelis if they sought to attack those missile systems if they want to go after targets inside of syria so that's why this is a this is really a confrontational move it's i think it's going to cause the israelis to pause before they do anything is bold as the as they have in the past and and i think
9:37 pm
that the next. russian plane that shot down i think there will be a response from russia. michael iran and the united states haven't had a working relationship diplomatically as we spoke about it nine hundred seventy nine and despite many of the revelations that we've had over the last twenty thirty forty years that a lot of the information fed to the american people regarding iran has been incomplete at best and bold face lie is that worse i mean look at the cia and am i six literally orchestrating a coup and one nine hundred fifty two what are we as civilians miss saying about this threat from iran that makes it worth all of these lives all of this money all of this after it that we have spent what is that risk from the rand that john bolton is so terrified well it's not necessarily a threat coming from iran iran is no threat to the united states what it is however is a threat to israel and israel's and anything having to do with israeli foreign policy
9:38 pm
is interwoven into u.s. foreign policy and i when i was at the pentagon up to two thousand. around two thousand and three we would say that israel would have have an approach but the u.s. would carry it out would do its dirty work for him and we saw this in baghdad again in two thousand and three i briefed bolton and he basically said we're going to take baghdad then damascus then tehran libya and saudi arabia all countries at that time that were enemies of israel today move forward fast forward now and what we're seeing really is bolton revisited it's he's come in he's come back and this actually accentuate something which is becoming increasingly serious you have a trump foreign policy because he doesn't want to be in syria but you have a trumpet ministration foreign policy which is being run now by the neo cons such as bolton pompei o the secretary of state and nikki haley and and now you have
9:39 pm
giuliani if you her do giuliani the other day at a k. gathering calling for the overthrow of. the government of iran and bolton is in talking similar saying similar things. you know it's interesting because refugees have been you as political pawns in the syrian conflict with world leaders going so far as to ban them from entering you know their nations including the trump administration here in the united states even bashar al assad confirmed the yahoo news last year that terrorists were hiding themselves amongst the refugees despite that no syrian refugee has committed in the act of terror in the united states michael how are refugees and weapons sales used to further political reform in countries like syria and is it a dangerous game to do so and to play this this game with these refugees while the
9:40 pm
refugees are as you say just pawns they are. they they are the from. an excuse for the united states to try and use more of a humanitarian argument to be in places such as syria and elsewhere in the middle east but make no mistake the united states has lost tremendous influence since the arab spring and it's trying to regain its influence back there again and it's faltering russia has in effect filled that vacuum and we see it even in iraq where the united states has sought to go back to iraq and it's lose in its influence there as well to to iran of all places and so this is us is really trying to get back to where it was back in two thousand and three under john bolton's guidance as i see it because he's really trying to reach restate u.s. foreign policy and it's not trump who's in charge of his foreign policies basically
9:41 pm
isolated he is basically isolated in terms of trying to initiate his own foreign policy for example when he better relations with with a lot of repute and wanted to get out of syria wanting to meet with the with rouhani and as soon as he said that and he said unconditionally and soon as he said that less than a half hour later he had the state department come in them with a list of about twelve conditions which were met to defeat that notion because iran would never buy into those so it's clearly. the pawns the refugees or pawns the weapons systems or pawns in order to gain for the united states to stay there and for the united states then to say in syria that this plan is to stay because even though it hasn't been invited was never invited and it's taking up all of eastern syria it means basically that the policy that's evolving from the us at this point appears to be a de facto partition of syria itself. and now when we take over eastern syria that
9:42 pm
means we're working with the kurds that then brings in the turks and the turks do not want to have anything to do with the kurds because they regard them as terrorists but the united states is close enough to the kurds so that in effect with the bright and all that area on the border with turkey it could potentially mean that turkey and the united states could have a confrontation if the decision is made to by assad and by. putin to take back their take back because syria for for syria and so this things are going to get worse before they get better we we see this over and over and you know i'm hoping in the days and weeks to come we've seen a slight amount of you know what could be peace coming out of north korea north korea. and we're hoping this thing of going to the table and actually having some diplomatic talks happening and i hope clearer calmer minds than john bolton
9:43 pm
come to fore i thank you so much for both of you michael moeller former pentagon official official and tire of entering from minnesota thank you so much. science has made it possible for the blind to see in the deaf to hear but science and the folks at the mayo clinic might just be very close to making the paralyzed walk with an implant that helps patients voluntarily control limbs or see america's natasha sweet has the story. for us. workers at the mayo clinic believe they've made significant progress toward spinal cord stimulation a new study published this week is giving renewed hope to those who once thought they would never walk again these little steps are more like huge leaps of success for jared to knock was paralyzed from the waist down in a still more bill accident back in two thousand and thirteen five years later he's taking a voluntary steps with a walker and on a treadmill i. only excited chin up was the first patient at the mayo clinic to
9:44 pm
have an electrical stimulation device implanted near his damaged spinal cord one month after surgery was able to voluntarily move his toe the study published in the journal nature medicine this week is giving both patients and researchers hope one of the study's authors dr tenderly surgically implanted the device near to knocks the spinal cord in just below his injury dr lee says while they still have a long way to go he does believe their research is headed in the right direction because we were able to stimulate directly the spinal cord itself and we believe that that was very important to be able to regain volitional control or voluntary control in a separate study the university of louisville another four paralyzed patients tested this method two of them responded being able to walk with the big pharma f.d.a. on top of us and part of the problem is if you look at everybody's motivation for what we do we are motivated want to make a few dollars ok but how do you do it i've got
9:45 pm
a very basic way of living i have to take care of patients and try to get them better yeah the academia who is in there trying to develop new techniques and things but they really are into research they have pharma who really has to make a living making money and so they have to mass produce a product and sell to as many people as possible and what's their goal to keep selling a product so ultimately if you think about it their goal is to keep you. maybe. symptomatically healthier and better but never really necessary to cure you in fact you know there's some company hard vone who developed a medication that can cure hepatitis b. they made like twelve billion dollars a year or two ago now this year is four billion and soon it will be no billion because if they cure hepatitis b. they're out of business right so that is that's pretty frightening actually to think that you know the agenda then it becomes well that company obviously becomes
9:46 pm
a failure even though from a from a. perspective of healing it's a huge success exactly so you have a huge success in a failing company so that ideally suppose you have parkinson's if i could give you back certain number of cells of your own stem cells and actually improve you and cure you that's not a good business model but if i can give you pills that you have take for the next six years until you die and you spend thousands of dollars a year you've got a great business model so there's a there's a built in. business model that's not really necessarily great for the public even though i will admit there's a lot of great pharmaceutical products that are necessary for us absolutely so let's talk about what you're working on which is the stem cell side of things because essentially we you know a lot of us to get came of age a time when we heard about stem cells from the relationship of abortion for example aborted fetuses and george bush was president basically not if you want to ban stem
9:47 pm
cell research but now we've come to a different place in terms of realizing that stem cells don't have to be taken from baby fetuses that we can actually take them from all types of places so where where does stem cells in your research come from and what do they offer for helping helping us well so it turns out bush did unleashed about two hundred sixty one strains of embryonic stem cells which were the foundation for all the research on stem cells accidentally we found out that your own body had stem cells. they could be isolated the most common source was from bone marrow so if somebody has leukemia and they wipe out all their bone marrow they get a donor bone marrow get an injection and the bone marrow has stem cells in it which jumpstart your bone marrow which is now dead so the speak but the information is there so you can produce new you know bone marrow cells which would be white cells and so forth turns out that adipose tissue your fat is loaded with stem cells
9:48 pm
unbeknownst to us one hundred ccs a bone marrow may you know fifty one hundred thousand stem cells while in adults thirty ccs of that might yield five to forty million stem cells is just you know ridiculous so here for years we've been sucking out fat put it into faces try to make people look younger now they're putting their breast and butts so they buy lots more of a lot of us and we're wasting our stem cells on these cosmetic things and so what happened to me as i found out back in two thousand and eight that while you can use the stem cells for acetic purposes why don't we use them for you know therapeutic purposes because as many pretty people as we can may there's millions more with arthritis and all kinds of degenerate conditions so it turns out we can very easily extract that with a local anesthetic and then have. five to forty million stem cells available within an hour so with that you think about it every injury every disease every
9:49 pm
real malady is a salt in your cells so what if i can have replacement parts and that's what the stem cells represent so we're now looking at a new era of medicine and we actually call it personal cell therapy it's certainly the stem cell era but you have the ability to use your own cells which is fundamentally very important originally we thought we're going to get stem cells from embryos then we thought well we can get from a bill to cord and wharton. jelly placenta and other areas but even if we get them from those they're still somebody else's d.n.a. they may actually have viruses or prion diseases that these people carry with them that we don't even to attack so what if we give them from our own body i can't infect you with the stuff that's already in your body in fact what if you had hiv or hepatitis you wouldn't be eligible to make a drug out of your own cells but you can use your own cells to heal yourself so in
9:50 pm
a real simple way every injury we have is injury to the cells and when those cells are injured they give out a signal those signals we call them cytokines they could be little bits of messenger r.n.a. which can direct our stem cells into what they need to become suppose you had a heart attack now you get all this injured heart muscle normally you heal with scar tissue because a whole bunch of white blood cells go there to try to clean up the dead you know injured heart muscle and they secrete and so i'm said bring in fiberglass and form scar so when somebody has a bad heart take out a big scar they end up having congestive heart failure because they don't have enough good muscle tissue but i gave the stem cells they would go that same heart and they would get the signal and grow new heart muscle i would be looking at basically the potential to prolong human life potentially indefinitely i think you can easily and neck extra fifty seventy five years on the normal lifespan i'm
9:51 pm
sixty five years old i think i'm ten years off of my midlife crisis based on what stem cells to be able to do so you know it's it's really strange but we can really mess up the whole socio economic empires we've built right now because all of our actuarial so based on us dropping off between seventy four and you know an eighty years old something like that what if you can keep people alive a lot longer who's going to pay for it who's going to be eligible to get this. are you going to let everybody have it you know our society everything's medicine should be free that is right you know so there's some real difficult questions and so tell us about what the troubles you're facing the belief in terms of the work that you're doing and how you're being attacked basically by the empire of big pharma now so if the f.d.a. is set up to police drugs and devices and several years ago they decided
9:52 pm
that there's going to be this area of biologics particularly stem cells and we realized that if i grew a stem cell in the lab and they give it back to you that's probably a drug it's not your d.n.a. at long somebody else because there's an onus in a burden for me to prove that that cell works on you and it's safe for you ok so the f.d.a. then looked at our own personal cells and they said they set up these arbitrary guidelines to determine when is your cell a drug what they said is if you took cells from bone marrow which is in a liquid form as long as you don't change the character of the cell then it's not a drug and you can use it so people can harvest bone marrow spin it down and give it back to you even though there's not them a stem cells is not that effective ok but they said if you take that were cells from a tissue and then you separate those cells now you change the character of the tissue therefore it's a drug if it's
9:53 pm
a drug it has to be made the same way as every other mass produced pharmaceutical and we're going well that's ridiculous first of all all we're doing is taking cells from a tissue and even in the f.d.a. guidelines that they wrote they rely on a nine hundred ninety seven guideline that says you can remove cells from drugs and separate from from tissues and separate them as always the tissue left behind same function which exact what we do do with. fat behind still fat and we just take a. a little sample separates the cells given back to you however the f.d.a. now and said we're changing the character of the tissue they're force drug but we're not changing the character of the cell in a very fundamental way if i was a pharmaceutical company i would never go to market with a product that a manufacturer and b. didn't own in this case if i take out some of your fat and separate out the cells i haven't manufactured anything i'm not changing the d.n.a.
