he's a chickamauga i know he's in russia right now clocking the way what's the latest what we're hearing on this so it was some russian officials today still no word as to where we are with the treaty i mean president trump just dropped the ball on them on saturday saying that russia is violating these the agreement and that he's going to terminate and pull out and the he's not going to do business with russia like this so he's he's trying to really step it up once take it one step further and today in front the white house he did tell reporters that that that's exactly his plan to. kill people in this bill that. will leave them in the. dark about it here to the agreement they should have been done years ago but still people come to this as we have more money than anybody else by force will build it up until they come to their senses when they then will the old guard and the old will have by the way not only will read which i would love to do

but right now they have done that here to the agreement they are doing their bit to read the whatever you want and it is just i did it right i did it with anybody else who wants to play that. so so he's saying that he's not going to play that game includes china and russia and until they all meet and come to an agreement he says his plan is to go full force and and continue to build or start on the other hand building nuclear on the saw here in the arsenal here in the u.s. interesting interesting. story. what's been the political reaction of those who you're home when you hear this over and over again in this kind of a cold war rhetoric of donald i'm over go and this treaty we're going to build a nuclear arms may going to come to me it makes sense or not really or whatever whatever it is kind of saying at the moment. you know what does he have political allies outside of our body bolton i won't fight in vietnam because it's we're going

to lose you know i know well let's back the story up here because i think when we got a look at timing and how this assault us we knew bolt was going over to russia but was told to us that he was going to go over there and try to convince russia not to deescalate their terror their pressure on tariffs with north korea he's doing exposed to save their china that's what we were told that was the justification for this mean that almost on saturday the nukes were involved i'm sorry were the first two years was trying trying to get rid of nukes in our world to deescalate the new threat and now the sudden we're going to bring it up so on one hand you're telling north korea that they mean to denuclearize on the other hairs and guess what we want to build big bad news that's not going to work so well when you're dealing with the egos that we're dealing with kim jong little man and president putin and president trump all three of them right now i feel like we're just in there with a chess game where none of them actually want to actually move a piece rather they just want to blow up the entire board that's dangerous speaking of moving pieces so what's moscow's response to all of this but well after the u.s.

accused him of violating the treaty russia did the exact same thing and is also accusing the u.s. of also violating the treaty so they're both pointing the finger at each other the u.s. hasn't officially ended the treaty as of yet the kremlin does say though. but if the u.s. and the treaty it's going to make the world a more dangerous place and there are some countries that are backing up the u.s. and others backing up russia so u.s. european allies are concerned and are underlying the importance of the treaty france and germany for example in the european union commissioner have come out and said that voiced their support for the importance of the treaty while britain the u.k. is actually in agreement with the u.s. saying that they should pull out or they should revisit the negotiations of this treaty in order for them to move forward though what's also interesting scotties is you know since trump took office we've had you know russia good russia good russia gave we've all heard from the corporate. you know the screams for trying to get tough on russia i think this would probably be pretty tough on russia i want to get

out of the treaty when i read this and what i'm wondering is you were at political this weekend you know out of the corporate dems check themselves are they actually stirring threat of nuclear proliferation maybe we've pushed too hard on this anti russia thing maybe we shouldn't be pulling out of treaties like this maybe we've you know motivated to listen to bolton to do this guy is there i mean so that's just thought that's what everybody is missing right here outside of maybe the beltway and the people that make money off of war like the ones the neo cons that are surrounding president trump right now most people don't want war most people want the united states to bring their soldiers home from afghanistan most people want us to end at the korean war so majority of people here in this corner wait a minute no no no we voted for trump we crossed over didn't vote our own party democrat because we knew the truck promised to get it to retract our policing of the rest of the world so all of this to them are going what is going on here and with trump here's here's the question i have to wonder why is president doing this

we know why bolton is doing it we know why the neo cons that have bought into this industrial military complex around it because in the end it's all about money and they're going to make a lot of money they made a lot of money off of the raising of the defense budget wasn't about actually making our world savers. because they want to go by i mean mercedes several of them and fortunately the rest of america to the east of the fact cats on wall street now we've got the fact cats and waltzed in the white house and it's not the president himself i think he's being told some very bad information but ultimately it intimate him he's got to understand going to war with russia is not as a businessman at the end of the day and so he's going to think like a businessman so they're selling it to him on a business level he might buy into regardless of what he says on the campaign trail at the end of the day we've learned from in my mind is a couple of titian just like all the rest all right scottie sarah so much thank you so much for coming on today always a pleasure having time here. at the wall of forgotten natives of the city of over two hundred homeless native americans in minneapolis minnesota if you only watch to

read mainstream and local loop is the most important issue affecting the citizens in the campus drug addiction heroin use in particular and yes while drug abuse is a factor in life at the camp there is a lot more to that story than meets the eye. a story in connection the most news agencies choose to ignore or too afraid to touch and a new installment of watching the hawks co-host of the waltzes look at the wall of forgotten natives tab at the spoke with the people on the ground there about the issues of heroin in their community and just what lies beneath the story that everyone outside the camp loves to tell about them. it's chemical warfare people been surviving it's in fourteen ninety one the drugs are not the answer it's never been the solution they are part of the pharmaceutical companies but bargemen to keep people asleep to keep people keep using the words

conspiracy theory because nothing is a conspiracy is a conspiracy theory when your truth my truth his truth is truth everybody's truth is truth we all are experiencing a different way some people experience it this way some people experience it this way but when they all have similar aspects and they all come together then obviously it's happened just because certain people don't want to accept that this is reality and do something about it doesn't mean it's not but the power that people give away every day by consenting to the process that gets said is fraudulent that is oppressive that is you know the gentrification of this country in a mass scale all the way across the board. in the tent city known as the long forgotten natives in downtown minneapolis minnesota the issue of opiate addiction is on the front of many minds and despite the fact that less than a third of residents at the encampment are struggling currently with opiate addiction or abuse their struggle is money many understand and are well aware of

how it got into their community on the sort of call you know call the news telling their doctors the post post course and then after they stop it stop and stop pushing it if it was being held accountable for their way over there or via the people that is or addicted. all that heroin was fallen and then it became apparent that the families the while a forgotten natives has had help from one group in particular seems to want natives against terror when american indian movement. are supported not not was here first to jump on it just right away. so we're just supporting them doing what we can one day is going down started when our money was twenty fifteen was having a lot older than gas so all being in this field of you know i see the harvard option for going to a lot of meetings instead of being intel want to do ads because they actually make

those darted or started talking struggle with don cornelio. curriculum so that we interact with and. and then our way and to the stately c.e.o. native american community clinic had this to say about the heroin epidemic and why it's hitting indigenous populations particularly hard the heroin epidemic of course caught everybody in the entire nation by surprise but the conditions for this situation here were really apple fired by the heroin epidemic because you have a group of individuals and a community that are already on significantly franchised and oppressed and excluded from almost practically every opportunity that exists for the rest of the nation right we have the highest rates of poverty we have the highest rates of lack of education we have the highest rates on joblessness we have the highest rates of practically every social and health in at economic indicator that you can think that that prevents us from being able to be successful but i think that the heroin

epidemic is a lot of people know that we are or they live in probably where we have a lot of drug use and they're. entrepreneurs a couple chicago or detroit really and all that they can make a profit off her before. there's going to be a god watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter and see our full shows on our t.v. dot com coming up there have been new moves towards peace summit korean comments lawford professor baer or joins us to discuss these moves and more so stay tuned to watch in the hawks.

when the lawmakers manufacture two sentenced to the public will. when the room in close is a project themselves. with the final clearing go round lifts and we don't want. to ignore middle of the room sick. to lose the real news. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. this is says harlan kentucky. overboard this move the

employee says he was very funny using. a ko money since it was almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the wiser said. that it was a lot of these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's how it's happened. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often scary and dramatic development only closely and going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very

critical of the. you see. all right welcome back war u.s. president donald trump and his cabinet stoked nuclear arms tensions by walking away from the i.m.f. treaty with russia on the other side of the world north and south korea been making even more significant moves towards peace on the korean peninsula the two koreas along with the u.n. command agreed on monday to withdraw firearms and a number of guard posts in the militarized zone community of drawn this along with the announced suspension of planned joint military exercises between the united

states and south korea and we might be seeing a road map to peace finally taking shape there you know for once it makes me happy hawk watchers that the possibility of good news is on the horizon it's refreshing feeling here to discuss the latest news out of the korean peninsula and the potential for peace there is author education department chair at the hampton institute for derek thank you for coming on again. there are want to ask and started looking at this latest news the potential you know closing of these eleven guard ploesti posts along the d.m.z. the withdrawal of firearms and. how significant are these agreements between north and south korea towards peace. i mean i think they're incredibly significant and you know it's definitely important to a context the allies the moves that you know that this isn't a new initiative that there has been a you know a decades long desire for peace and for you reunification on the korean peninsula and there have been. numerous practical concrete steps that have taken place you

know this is kind of the third iteration that we're seeing right now sense the. june fifteenth two thousand agreement between the north and the south and i think that what's unique right now is the repair with which events are taking place you know it was just january first of this year that kim jong un in his new year's address you know reached out to south korea and initiated this entire process and so in that sense i think it's quite remarkable what has happened these last. ten months that's a really great great observation to how fast this is moving has really struck me that's why i keep coming back to the subject as i figured it might be one of those things that we're going to see keep moving faster for the good of the u.s. and south korea also agreed to suspend as i mentioned recent joint military

exercises in light of the peace negotiations going on i want to ask you what is your opinion of the united states' role in this peace process so far based on what you see you know you were also on the ground in north korea but based on and what is the u.s. don't right and what have we done wrong in you know up to this point. yeah well i think that there are there is clearly not a consensus within the washington establishment of. the d.p. r. k. or north korea and i think in many ways trump is like flying solo and has a lot. lot of the pentagon working against him and trying to undermine him i think that. in general i would say that the united states and its you know it's sort of tool which is the united nations command has been a primary obstacle towards the. towards moves for peace and for reunification i

think that were it not for the united states i.q. patient thirty thousand troops in south korea. the intense intense interlocking sanctions against the country that are to have prevented north and south korea from taking concrete steps towards integrating for example the railways . i think that things would be moving even more quickly and i think that really i mean the primary thing that the united states has to do is really just get out of the way and let the korean people determine their own destiny i mean there's the will for it there is the knowledge and the intellect the know how and you know in the dr how do we got a lot of the way like you're saying would we have seen this peace between north and south korea would it be fitting this faster was written how would the world for their histories really begin just to give people kind of a background and come some context of this for sure yeah well i mean here's the

thing you know korea is a nation with five thousand years of history and for all but like seventy of those years it has been a single nation one people you know one language is still is a single nation. the fact that it's divided was the result of. the you the united states in the soviet union in august of one thousand nine hundred five at the end of the world war two the beginning of the cold war and at that point and indigenous government took power in the north and the south and the united states set up a puppet government in the south a military dictatorship which ruled brutally over the south for decades until the people were able to overthrow that dictatorship and finally realize democracy in the in the one nine hundred eighty s. . and so i mean i would locate the drive and the desire. you know.

sense the you know the thirteen hundreds when when korea was founded as a nation and it's only you know it's intensified over these last decades but there's always been the desire i mean there's you know ten thousand families are separated from each other have been for decades and that's you know i mean it's hard it's hard to really understand you know the impacts that that house has that kind of context i think we're missing a lot from the public debate we see here in the united states you know no one's talking about that kind of history no one's talking about look this is you know the supply of thousand year old country the you know this is we think of it in terms of our involvement there u.s. involvement there what's interesting is according to reuters south korean president moves that the north was ready to invite international experts to watch the dismantling of key missiles of a key missile site and would close the main. nuclear complex if washington took reciprocal actions they mentioned these reciprocal actions could include declaring

a formal end to the korean war a little over do i think we should do that opening a new house liaison office or office in north korea humanitarian aid you know bringing that in and i'm sorry none of these things seem outlandish yet the u.s. is continually dragging its feet there why are we i know you talk a little bit about why is the united states so hot and cold what it comes to finding some kind of peace on the korean peninsula. yeah well i mean i think that it's the there is a hard line in washington you know a hardline grouping that is the dominant grouping and has been because sense one nine hundred forty five or i guess one hundred forty eight when. the north korean state was officially founded as a response by the way to the republic of korea being founded that that came first sent that time the united states policy has been one of apps. animosity and. and it has been driven by the desire to overthrow the government in north

korea and to. you know it part of it's this is part of the cold war and it's you know we still see the legacy of that today i think that there's a couple of reasons for that today i think for one the united states needs north korea as this kind of. presented as this threat in order one to keep japan and south korea from uniting with china so part of it is about sort of keeping east asia divided another part of it is to justify u.s. presence in. in asia because i mean if you think about it right i mean what are u.s. troops what are you know what are all these warships doing in these seas in these waters that are you know quite far away from the united states the other thing i think is that you know north korea beat the united states in one nine hundred fifty three they forced the united states to sign an armistice this tiny country. you

know and beat you know the world's most powerful military and i think that that is i think that that is significant also i agree with all those points actually it was a great point. you know well educated right there and so i mean it really makes me wonder for peace and rebuilding on the korean peninsula you know what is what is the biggest roadblock at this point is a really just kind of u.s. involvement if we get out the way is that smoove cycling you know are always this moves are. yeah i mean you know i'm not to overstate it but i do think that's the case and to be a bit more specific i really think that. the sanctions regime against north korea is probably the single the single greatest obstacle at this moment in time in fact earlier today the north korean mission in new york city released released a statement. sort of denouncing the sanctions which is not new of course for north

korea but i think that it's it's a sign that you know they're sort of asking for more for more i mean they north korea has done so much and you know they've gotten really really little in return so it's really time for the united states. to start making some real concessions to what i ask you this you've clearly got a lot of study of this going to put the hat on you if you if you're in charge of u.s. foreign policy of the you know of the korean peninsula at this point what is the first move you make to see the region you know sub chile five years you're in charge yeah well yeah well a couple things i mean first i think. withdraw thirty thousand troops from korea. and people in korea don't want them there. and shut down all the military bases the other thing is i think the united states should pay reparations to both south and north korea one for the for the war. damage for the damage done during or by the united states to north korea during the war between one thousand fifty nine

hundred fifty three when the us dropped so many bombs that there wasn't a single building taller than one story left standing and i mean in pyongyang alone they dropped more than one bomb per person so i believe that reparations need to be paid for that and also for the damage done to south korea as a result of the decades long i.q. patient of that country when i got to say always a pleasure having you on thank you for illuminating no smoking this thing to bury always a pleasure thank you. thank you. well there is a hot new shiny talent and it's hit the scene hawk watchers and us with great excitement we welcome to the watching the hawks stage the youngest known pole star in the milky way galaxy named as seventy five located just a mere hop skip and a jump away from us at nineteen thousand light years away seventy five according to nasa is not just dazzling scientists with good looks but thanks to some amazing

photography work from masses shondra x. ray observatory it's also giving scientists valuable information on how some stars and their lives because as we know from astronomy class a pole star actually comes from the collapse of a supernova explosion of some truly massive stars out there. as i always say the beginning of the end is the end of the beginning in the beginning of the year and so on and so forth because that's true in the universe as well all right everybody that is our show for today remember everyone in this world we are told we are so i tell you all i love i am tight rope and keep on watching the hawks never great day and night everybody. definitely on the d.

is harder than kentucky. overall in this move the employee says it was very funny using. a co money since he was almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the polarizer said. that it was a drive to see these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened. with no make this manufacture consent instant of public wealth. when the
