greetings and salyut ations since human beings crawled out of the muck and found organization dialogue has been one of the main building blocks of society on par with the invention of the wheel in late night food delivery the late lately hawk watchers it seems the dialogue has given way to argument good political conversation has been replaced by the 5 2nd sound bite and partisan name calling but in today's world of rising tensions between nuclear armed superpowers and climate catastrophe knocking on all our doors we need healthy political discussion in the exchange of ideas now more than ever so today hawk watchers it's time to push back against all the click bait ranting and raving on the other news broadcast as we bring you a gallery of guests and topics to bring you a better perception and perspective of your world today because it's time to put dialogue over debate and start watching the hawks.

like you that i got. while going on watching the hawks i am i robot for and some day we're going to put dialogue over debate as tablet than i bring you 2 distinct and informative discussions between topics and guests unique to our political viewpoints and personalities starting with my very own perception and perspective now let's start the real. you've got to be a thinker not a stinker alk watchers but with the skyrocketing cost of higher education here in

the united states an out of control student loan financially crushing $2.00 generations of the gen xers and the millennial being a thinker just might be too expensive student debt has gotten so bad that this week at morehouse college graduation ceremonies in atlanta georgia billionaire investor robert smith announced a grant to pay off the graduating class of 14000000 in student loan debt and speaking of golden gifts from on high this week also saw the controversial now former mayor of chicago and new liberal golden boy rahm emanuel awarded 2 prime time post mayoral gigs and journalism contributing editor at the atlantic and a.b.c. news contributor because rahm has such a long and expensive career in journalism not really so a student loan skyrocketing and rahm emanuel contributing let's introduce our panel for today joining me is author and speaker. artie america producer brant suborder and host of the world according to judge the former minnesota governor jesse. thank

you everybody for joining me i want to i want to start with you governor what what does this say about the state of student loan debt in this country when billionaires are shelling out 40000000 just to cover $400.00 students student debt . unbelievable i didn't think anything could be worse than the actual government dept but this could rally and be right there with it it's scary you know when i was young i had a decision to make whether i was going to go to school or not out of high school i chose to go in the military for the reason that when i got out i would then have the benefit of the g.i. bill and at that time you could actually go to school on the g.i. bill and probably not incur much debt because you already served 4 years but another thing needs to be talked about in this situation and that is this once with the money in the colleges and that and universities when they can spend $90000000.00 for

a football coach. that needs to be looked at to within the university and college systems that's a great point to bring up and i'll throw it over to you going to be a brand like i mean when the university can spend $90000000.00 that was clumsily on a head coach for a football program and yet they're polunin $40000000.00 a year just morehouse not some and that's just morehouse college you know you know how ridiculous should be universities be like can dent i mean don't they have enough money to survive at this point that they shouldn't have that student loan any $1000000.00 that a football coach but they also don't pay the players and they say they're giving them a free education but you can't really enjoy a free education because you have to practice x. amount of times a day you have to travel with the team you don't really get a chance to have a real college experience out of you know i agree with the governor i think this i think it's crazy made a point i would make the d.s. point on this as well is and remember if you're a student athlete great in high school you get that scholarship you break your leg

year well guess what the next year you don't have that scholarship anymore so you're not getting that free education they make it straight out of school well and let's also look at those guys guys guys i'm not just talking about the student athlete and all that how can the universities have. that kind of money available divan to pay this like in minnesota i as governor of the state made 120000 a year i think the governor now makes 150 yet the football coach at the university of minnesota makes 3 and a half 1000000 a year now who has more responsibility the governor or the football coach so we as a society have got to start looking at things and places of higher learning need to start stepping in and looking at things were some commonsense thrown in and let me add to what about all this stuff going on with the bribery and that with these parents bribing to get their kids in school doesn't higher education

a bear some of that responsibility how did they participate in except these bribes and let these kids into school that's a great point and when you look at all crippling student debt and student loans are to this country at this point i mean you're talking 2 generations now you know with 30000 you know on average about 37000 parce student is walking around trying to pay that off the rest of their lives you know. elizabeth warren and bernie sanders of both many other people on the campaign trail this year for president put out like hey we need student debt forgiveness we need to do all this should we 1st make universities clean up their own accounting if they're willing to splurge all this money but before we start talking about loan forgiveness i'll start with you guys at the table bret and i would say i mean absolutely they need to clean up all of the in-house issues that they have i mean however we do have to look at the fact that we have what $1.00 trillion dollars in student debt out there right now i mean millennialist i have seen this happen over and over again and i think since the 2008 recession they've realized that this is

a problem going to have to live with over and over again in the deficit world and it's also like that $1.00 trillion dollar number is a 10 minute thing it's making people not even want to go to school and then if you do go to school what's going to be waiting for me on the other side of that in a big mountain of debt that's a great point that's a really good point just a final. well and look at the fact who do they have as a role model the government and how far in depth is the government right now. great point great point i want to i want to move on now to one of our favorite politicians watching the hawks one the one and only rahm emanuel who i mentioned earlier rahm was essentially chased out of the city of chicago for his handling of the little con macdonald case the police shooting case and now after years of being a political insider obama's chief of staff senior let us buys into bill clinton he's now a journalist. look. i guess the question is you

know what message is the atlantic and a.b.c. sending other journalists and everyone else when they're giving someone like rahm emanuel someone who left chicago mayor basically was chased out of the mayor slugger didn't run again because of all the controversy the i'll ask you as a journalist and writer what what message is the atlantic and a.b.c. sending by hiring him. specially as mayor of chicago. he was really really good at telling the truth and now he's in there in a profession where you're supposed to only tell the truth so i'm excited what's going to happen with this brand new career and i you know it just makes me follow the talented journalists who are out there trying to find work and you have these people who are able to just use big money forensic connections to get these jobs that people fight years and years and years to get thing right your thoughts and going to say a.b.c. has already made their bed i don't know if you remember this but they hired chris

christie and not exactly a guy known for truth telling not a guy known for not be staying out of controversy for not covering up late shootings and blocking big bridges over bridges for political expediency so i mean the fact is a.b.c. kind of already has that under control just i want to ask you an interesting thing that comes out of this and we see this more and more what are your thoughts on rahm and this kind of the i guess what is it a turning door the. the round up of spinning doors from from politics right in the media. well that and all the other experts that are stepping in now you've got people lifetime cia people you've got all these government people slowly with the takeover of the broadcast media to where they're the ones offering the expertise on everything and they're the ones off from offering the standard story for everything because that's what they come out of remember to everyone here remember this and

keep this in mind mainstream media is no longer in the information business star in the entertainment business so maybe rahm emanuel is hell of a guy they have for ratings because that's what they're looking that who can sell and who can make money for them if he had he had what to say about jesse small that he had to say about the quantum of battle and this is like the actor who plays that what i'm on television versus a kid who really lost his life because the police violence in just a piggyback off of what the government has said you know. you know michael steele who used to be lieutenant lieutenant governor of my home state of maryland on other networks and like i've never saw him make a valid point about anything ever and he has like a 10 year career now well it feels like a lot of the political discussion on network you know cable news networks all that with the you know with bringing these guys like just who are saying smaller cia former state politicians i see the need because they're supposed to bring in expertise level like you would say have a former n.b.a. player on if you're going to. you know blood is just you make

a good point brett is in many of these guys now clouding yeah because he's making a great point because there are people that i mean they're not like related to network so we see people like larry wilkerson who's a great truth teller who's been in those positions who will call out the establishment maybe see 5 percent of these generals cia guys who end up on the mainstream networks and you only see about 5 percent of them ever actually standing up to what the status quo is they're just giving the same talking points it's a. they still work in the pentagon a lot of those n.b.a. players with commentary actually used to be good at their jobs. so some of these people you know some of these people are really you know not one part this is something he was a good player to listen somebody has guys now so it is i think it is kind of creating and i think jesse made a really good point there it's more about entertainment than getting you know information out and getting people talking then been bringing the viewers something to chew on. and tyrrell it's also carrying the water for the government's position

these are all people that are pro-war they're the people that fight they go the generals and all that stuff well what do you think they're going to give you for a position they're going to come in and give you the expertise of taking us to war rather than the other way that's very true well i want to thank my panel debate. and of course jesse ventura always a pleasure having you guys watching the hawks thank you so much for coming on the day thank you my pleasure all right as we go to break watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook you tube and twitter shows that r t v dot com coming up our own tabitha wallace opened the gallery for discussion with r t america correspondent sara. and rachel stay tuned with watching the whole.

really there's not much happening in the global economy as a result of the u.s. china so-called trade war just to put things in perspective you know most things. from china see united states or exported as finished products the same holds true for most things exported from the u.s. to china so any tariffs on those products while they might affect price levels in the u.s. or in china and they might affect the level of trade between the u.s. and china they simply don't disrupt the global supply chain so the rest of the world is hardly affected at all. as a tense situation in venezuela is still over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism. has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been only

implement inside venezuela things look different we're going to announce sanctions against patrol venezuela so if you. have a supplement to. get out of that. data to see on the path to the mass of the moment the focus of the who story isn't new makes him henry kissinger to tell him not be tolerated in latin america. an alternative economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make. the economy scream so wants now making the economy of venezuela screed. thank you was only days ago we were told the u.s. was for perry to strike iran for non specific reasons to deter specific drugs then

the narrative simply disappeared and they are just exactly what is the trumpet ministrations policy regarding the re restraint you know. in the 19th century irish novelist margaret will grow beauty is in the eye of the beholder the same holds true for the news one person's good news is another person's worst nightmare but as with art the most profound moments in life happen when 2 people see something in completely different ways so let's recognize the beauty behold some truth and step into the gallery.

across the globe close to $12000000.00 girls are married every year before the age of 18 these child brides are found in nearly every culture every religion every country including the united states where according to pew research almost 5 out of every 1015 to 17 year olds are married and it's all perfectly legal and fact in the united states 17 states have no minimum age of marriage in 2 states you can get married at age 14 for states the minimum is $1520.00 states $16.00 and $8.00 states have a minimum age to be married of 17 did you also know that women married before age 18 are at 23 percent greater risk of disease onset of things like heart disease stroke diabetes they're 50 percent more likely to drop out of high school they have a 70 to 80 percent chance of getting divorced and are 3 times more likely to have been be. by their spouses none of these facts mattered of course to the iowa state house of representatives who voted down a bipartisan bill that would have required

a person to be at least 16 years of age to get married and with purse rental and judicial consent idaho house representative brian's only more defended the vote telling the idaho statesman that he does not think courts should be involved in marriage at all i don't believe there should be a license required to get married i think 2 willing people should be able to go and get married well joining me now to be in the gallery to discuss this issue and more are 2 correspondents sara monta soca and rachel bobbins thank you so much for coming here today. here's my 1st question is that there's you know here in the united states you can't even sign a contract legally it at all you are over the age of 18 so why is the book person can be sort of married off at that age and why is up to late parents and a judge to decide these are children we're talking about here these are children who like you said don't have certain rights they can't even vote they can't join

the military they can't they can dry. until 16 that is but they can get married if the these children don't even have minds made up of their own and and to we'd have to look at ok who are they marrying somebody a lot older but it's no wonder why abuse can be very imminent in these cases because when you marry you marry a child off to somebody say that especially because it happens to be more girls or women getting married at this younger age marrying 2 males who are dominant in control a lot older so what are we showing society that hey of their 1516 years old and i'm a parent i want to allow my child to get married i mean you can't even make your own decisions let alone want to be tied down did anybody else acts anywhere without your parents' permission before you think you've got to go to a judge to get what do you think rachel will and it is concerning i think one of the most. concerning things to me in all of this is that it is apparent in the judge signing off on this this is not some 14 year old girl who was run away with

a much older man and decided to get married this is a parent saying that they're completely fine with this and signing off on it so it does raise a lot of concerns about exactly what those parents are thinking because these children simply aren't mature as that age i know i have a sister who just turned 16 and she still is very much a kid the idea of children that age in younger being able to be married and making a decision that can impact them life long with you know whether they are abused or they're in tough cases or if they're just trying to get out of it if they're trying to get divorced i mean that is a serious commitment that they're simply not mature enough to make especially if the divorce rate is already very high if you get married young or they say sometimes the divorce rate is a lot higher and think of how different you are when you're 18 versus even 21 alone so you get married at 16 to when you're 30 being with that person for so long i mean it power to you but i'm sure as i'm of these peoples and these poor kids who can't make decisions on their own aren't legally bound to making certain decisions

on their own can go and get married i agree with rachel it's really concerning where the parents stand and what's the reasoning that they want to marry children off right before just a letting them go they don't want to take care of them they don't want the financial responsibility i mean there could be a lot of reasons behind this but it's a child it's still a child that should be taken care of by the parents and i think what we're seeing is it's mostly much older men with younger women and as you're saying it's across cultures so it isn't just in you know a lot of people say you know the warren jeffs and the fundamentalist mormon groups that often have young married ok that's one example of how this is abuse because they can legally say you're married to someone and the law can't do anything about it but you see it and number and number of different cultures and i think it shows what does show that things are working is that the numbers are going down there is can. this simply going down across the world through the work of empowering women and so i think if we empower women to have that voice and be able to know that you

don't have to be married off well especially nowadays women to get married a lot older they get married a lot older sometimes later in life because they want to do so many things before settling down and so as a divorce rates are lower if you wait right so the odds are better taking these rights away from these children these innocent children who don't know any better who may think well this is this is my parents are condoning this so i guess it's the right thing to do usually when they don't do it when i think they're said to we're talking about mostly little girls who are being married to older men this isn't a situation where it involves a lot of little boys not to so that raises a lot of concerns too and that should make people wonder wait a 2nd why is this just happening with this specific age gap and just with much younger girls and older women and i'm glad you brought up the age gap because there's another story that was in the news this week about age gaps that i that i really really wanted to kind of get your get you guys his thoughts on 1990

supercell 0 musician moby whose real name is richard melville hall claims that it's recently released memoir then it fell apart that he was in a serious romantic relationship with natalie portman in 1999 of course natalie portman has a slightly different take on the event telling harper's bazaar quote i was surprised to hear that he characterized the very for a short time that i knew him as dating because my recollection is a much older man being creepy with me when i just had graduated high school he said i was 20 i definitely wasn't i was a teenager i had just turned 18 we only hung out a handful of times before i realized that this was an older man who was interested in me in a way that felt inappropriate and to make sure everyone knew what a classy laddie truly is moby responded on instagram by. posting this picture art from the past which i am pretty sure ladies is what you what you'll have come up if

you google creepy older man younger one so he doubled down and tried to say yes we did we dated 1st i want to i want to get this out of the way the thing bothers me about the stories we brought up is this idea of men in their mid thirty's and then their thirty's and forty's dating girls who are oftentimes under 25 or in this case like 181920 how that terrain they tend to gravitate toward them and he seems to be one clearly through his book mentions that gravitates toward these younger women is this sort of like i mean how you'd never have a creepy old thirty's when you were like 1819 or like this is not right. and i think a lot of groups it does if you're just specially if you're in the entertainment industry or you're going journalism but at the same time i think it's all about the intent and the structure that's there and a lot of times these older guys are wanting the younger girls because it fits their ego when they think it makes them feel strong and powerful and that kind of thing

and so this definitely seems like that kind of situation where i'm concerned where he's essentially talking about how you know natalie portman said that she liked him as a musician and now all of this and he's trying to figure out a way to date her well it seems like the only thing that he likes about her is that she's younger pretty and she's interested in him and so it doesn't seem like there's much to this potential relationship or any you know intellect there at all between the 2 of them this is our new songs like from what i read along with the timing of it all to the fact that he's releasing the book and he talked about a few other celebrities and so when he mentions so who people know natalie portman well this is marketing for my book and i'm going to go out and say that only janitor back in the day and you can see by the picture that she looks. a little bit uncomfortable i mean. but i don't i think it's also important to note that it's also and but for both males and females. now adays where you know the male also is dating a lot older women are older women are dating the younger guys and this is just the

way this is is condoning what we see celebrities wearing very very my opinion age inappropriate i mean i couldn't see myself the person you are if you're 30 if you're a 3540 year old woman and you're your new manager 20 year old man and what kind of relationship is that what kind of communication i just think that the levels of maturity are so different and at least that's in my opinion how you relate to somebody so young 100 percent and i will say as a woman and her 3rd in. over 30 as a woman over 30 i have watched like the men my age do not want to date someone their own age they want to date someone younger and younger and younger but i think the strange thing is they don't really get it and there's a maturity kind of lack there and i want to before we run out it's i want to read one quote was another one from the moby actually quoted lama del rey another singer who at the time was about 20 went on a date with them and he took her to are his penthouse and he claims that she said

to him you're a rich wasp from connecticut and you live in a 5 level penthouse you're the man as in stick it to the man as in the person they get teen in the revolution and i think what's really interesting about it is that moby thought that was a compliment and i think that's indicative of the maturity. and it's not a compliment gentlemen when somebody says that i want to really want to thank you guys for setting them and having this conversation with me this week and you know the thing about the difference of age is whether you're. 45 there are some differences there thank you so much for making. it. and that's our show for you today remember everyone in this world we're not told where love the not so i tell you i love you on top of the wall if he thought a lot. thing though is hot and have a great day and night everyone. i
