reading is value taishan well the impeachment horns are blaring all over your cable news feeds and pedantic punditry this week oct watchers it's important to remember there was more going on in this world than just us president donald trump versus nancy pelosi adam schiff joe biden and reality that there is more news out there than what's allowed on jake tapper's teleprompter every night news that is important thought provoking and even scary in other words news that affects you in the rest of us just as much as political impeachment games played by millionaires working for billionaires news like this new report out of bard college

a center for study which found that 95 countries now own military drones and drone operations are becoming deeply embedded in the armed forces worldwide in ways that are changing global security how bad is that you ask well the report estimates that there are at least 21000 at least 21000 and probably more than 30000 unmanned aerial vehicles in military service worldwide today and while we're on the subject of technological terrors that we vastly underestimate and their negative impacts on our lives sovereignty and well being let's talk about the westmoreland family of milwaukee wisconsin who came home one quiet september afternoon to find their smart home was hacked fox 6 news reports that their thermostat had been turned all the way up to 90 degrees a boy speak again speaking to them from a camera in the kitchen and then started playing vulgar music in the 21st century you don't need ghosts to haunt your house just these 2 folks from the ninety's now . let's go now let's get to the show and start watching the hawks.

this. is what. the fallout of. this is. like you know that i got. we. think. it's. the one watching the hawks i am i wrong or right today we put dialogue over the fate of top of the walls myself bring you 2 distinct and informative discussions featuring a variety of topics and guests with unique political viewpoints starting my very own perception and perspective. and joining me today to bring their unique mix of the perspective to this to these

stories is the founder of truth the media swan legal and media analyst line a line on media and the host of the big picture the one and only alan cooke thank you all for coming and i want to start with military drones now being being used in operated in militaries in close to 95 close to 100 nations around the world ben i start with you you actually made headlines all way back in 2012 when you questioned president obama about his drone kill list is this proliferation of drone use something that you saw coming something that you know when you questioned obama you about this was the young game every country battling with unmanned aerial vehicle aerial vehicles. i think we all kind of knew it was going to head that way you know back in 20112012 you're right 2000 was when i question the president on the legality of it and especially on the killing of u.s. citizens using those drones you know drones at the time they were the new hot form of warfare everyone talked about how this was the future of warfare and they were right but i think back in 2011 if you look at the articles that were being written

at that time the question was about what country should the united states sell drones to who should they give them to well now we're living in a time when the 3 top countries that produce drones are the united states israel and china and as you said 95 countries have these in their militaries are developing sophisticated drone programs and let's not forget i mean these are countries by the way like as your bike shop and i geria that happens as well but not just that but not just nation states but even like drug cartels have their own drone fleets and drone programs through which they're training drone pilots so it is larger than just the nation state issue it is truly become the future of warfare and it's a pretty scary thing it is rather scary. why do you think it all is a good line at all and why why do you think that we have suddenly moved into this idea of ok it's easier to use of drone it's and does that make getting into warfare easier when you don't have to worry about the pilot you don't have to worry about

that it's just some guy you know we don't want to bag go in arizona in our case pushing buttons is it easier to go to war go are you going to mind control that's exactly what i'm going to say 3 things that concern me number one semantics we call it drones you a.v.'s just did you see this this is a basically a plane that this is the now 1525 but this is not a drone number 2 it's not so much a drone that scare me it's the artificial intelligence aspect where somebody may read a link which one day to these things to get to work operationally when you see fit but the 3rd part which is most important which you allude to city of edge of the longbow when people absented themselves and remove themselves from mano a mano if you've got some kid wearing a weird suit and a quantity down in vegas playing a toggle game switch on something it may not have the same feel of war you may not see that the children in the body splayed in and vaporize you may just see you might use words like engage in story he's in and that so all of those things this

is a prescription for on mitigated disaster here in the subway home whenever he talks about artificial intelligence i get the willies because remember in battlestar galactica don't let the computers talk to each other but what you said about the bow and arrow we're really on a continuum of technology in the presidential debates where mitt romney says we have fewer ships in the navy and obama quipped yeah we have fewer horses and bayonets too so we've seen a warfare now go from boots on the ground our eyes on the sky and to lionel's point we trivialize the kill you know that somebody's child out there it's a little too easy and we have to remember too it was that we're seeing the same amount of p.t.s.d. in the drone operators that you see in the regular soldiers at the end of a. they know it's not a video game when i hit that button and that person disappears on the i'm a black and white or color screen in this in this space in this trailer and i just took a life that's i get worse and plus the working wanted to let you go but yeah because

it is a lot easier to make mistakes using drones and we've seen that happen with drone pilots as well you know we know there are a lot of documented cases in fact there was a drone strike i believe it was just one week ago where 10 people were killed in afghanistan who were not of fighters they were not taliban or al qaeda these were actual people at a wedding who were killed by a drone by accident happens far too often so even though drones and we hear about them being promoted as well it's safer because there's fewer american or pilot deaths or soldier deaths that may be true but what's not true is that there are fewer deaths associated with them in fact the number of deaths because of collateral damage is actually higher with drones than it is in conventional warfare again it goes back to semantics and benj right we talk about super smart bombs and smart this well now there are weapons us need to make concern and basically we will get hope that we hit on target and then when we make a mistake it'll be called friendly fire or collateral damage this sounds almost

like a carlin routine but we will literally absented of cells for moral responsibility by giving it a different name to remove ourselves and then again just to say look this is the way it goes actually you're not going to see fewer vietnam memorial's fewer americans so those are the breaks if you want to make an omelet you gotta break if you're one of the dangerous look up collateral damage in the dictionary there's hiroshima you know at least this is a laser beam you know it's interesting you know i want to also move this other topic this was really intriguing and actually lionel you brought this to my attention this week so you have this couple like all good modern couples to be they buy their nest camera in their doorbell when their thermostat in their living with a smart home and it's their computer will run and everything and the hackers could make hacked their wife i leads them to their nests and. and suddenly you're living in a haunted house where your voice is coming over your speakers and you know people are turning up your thermostat so that it really shows out of a very you know macro level this is really dangerous stuff we're playing with when when strangers could enter your home through these devices have we given up i mean

we know that we've given up personal privacy you know for the kind of home gadgety gimmicks but are we giving up too much of our safety as well oh yes absolutely in fact let's take this next to insulin pumps to pacemakers to use different types of brain implants that can affect seizure disorders if i have one of these and i can override a person's house i can override your heartbeat you know your brain i can do a lot of things so this is this is almost like a very kind of funny but this is precisely what we're looking at right now because we have created a situation which by the way there's no return you don't come back you know say you know what all that stop let's go back to the key go back to the harbin paper it's not going to happen it isn't it isn't it you know and that to me that raises the question. of them how to how do we balance the whole kind of our need for the farm gimmicks and the leisure things that we like to experiment with that we like to have with the need for our own safety and security when it comes to this. sure well

a couple things number one and lionel's absolutely right we're not going to ever go backwards the question is how do we go forward in a safe way or one of those ways i would almost guarantee that this family you know bought a router for their wife i probably never even change the password they probably kept every password was 'd on it when they bought it at the store so they were probably easily hackable a lot of people do that right there very easily hacked all because they think i would anyone want to be on my wife i well because now your door locks are on your wife or your fridge raters on your wife and so everything is connected to that and so is the more connected you become through a wife i say you can be so basic steps of protecting that insecurity and you know those wife i log ins are very important and that's the most basic thing you can do protect yourself when you're when you buy a router when you set up your internet and change your password great great points now on the lighter side you know shunned me at thanksgiving dinner for telling this story but my brother in law did this really got a place down in hilton head and they told my brothers go ahead use our place while

we're about home meanwhile back in connecticut mark is turning the thermostat up of a 9 and my brother kept turning it down maybe a saw the story i think it was in new hampshire guy comes home and sitting in the driveway created up a water heater had been delivered and they ascertained that the parrot and alexa were having a conversation which was misinterpreted as ordering the water heater and of course the guy's credit card was on file so it happens you know it does and that's a great point on the lighter side of it and i think that what i agree with what everyone is saying here is that we when you have these technologies understand what you're buying understand what you're allowing into your home and take the necessary precautions if you want to buy it we need a manhattan project we need a kind of a russell committee we need citizen input we said back like slaves and saying look there's nothing we can do whether it's gene splicing whether it's any kind of d.n.a. g.m.o. it doesn't matter we sit back and we feel like well look if in if industry had.

come up with that there's nothing we can do wait a minute yes we can't there has to be either i don't to bring government into it but a subcommittee a russell hearing something from me or a little well we can say explain this and not feel like we just have to sit back and watch it as victims of that is definitely something none of the 4 of us up at this table do is sit back and watch things passably i want to thank you all for coming out of a bad swan lionell allen cocos the big picture always a pleasure having the 3 of you on thank you so much all right everybody as we go to break our watches don't forget to let us know what you think about topics you cover to be sure to check out watching the hawks the podcast available on spotify apple music and everywhere you look at the podcast. co-host with the most the opens the gallery on the nanny state and the new children fall line with lack of sexualization is causing controversy among adults you definitely don't want to miss the cover station stay tuned to watch.

the boltons appointment sent tremors around washington to at least among those who are out of government and many of those in government because it is a long track record of being very strong polemical bursary man who understands how to make the government were very much polarization it was. serious times arguing for invading iran for invading north korea center and this was very much not what the president wanted to go so why there's a bit of. financial

. money laundering 1st to visit this 3 different. is a good start well we have our 3 banks all set up for something new something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in the kleptocracy we decided to give them money to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did well we've got a nice laundry watch for max for. jewelry how about. bill again from that you know what money laundering is highly illegal here for a bunch of guys record. is a tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been great only implement from the inside venezuela things look different we're going to

announce sanctions against petroleum to venezuela associate. famously have a son of a moment to. get out of that political battle so on the path to come up with a moment the focus of the who story isn't new makes him cold in henry kissinger to tell him that he would not be tolerated in latin america. an alternative economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make. the chilean economy scream so wants now making the economy of venezuela screed. it's always only been a matter of time impeachment has always been on the agenda settling on the issue then process with the sticking points the democrats and the liberal media came to remove from over a telephone call to the ukrainian president what could possibly go wrong.

ronald reagan once said government exists to protect us from each other where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves more and more these days we are inundated with government backed legislation to curtail the things we do from they paying to straws we're seeing the solution to public health and environmental crises. is to ban an act why a crazy widespread bans on small anybody's sections of our lives and while parents in new york are faced with a school banned for not having their children vaccinated one chicago area couple nearly lost custody of their newborn baby for refusing a vitamin k. shot often given to newborns to help with blood clotting in the event of an

emergency that's right a few short moments before after giving birth angela bauer told a nurse about to give her a newborn a vitamin k. shot that she had already spoken to the doctor and unchosen to sign a waiver legally refusing the shot on religious grounds power alleges that the nurse refused to give her the form and instead reported the couple to the illinois department of children and family services it was over 12 hours before bauer was able to hold her newborn for the 1st time after this law was rescinded requiring this about a year later it was revealed that of the $138.00 families that were investigated regarding the vitamin k. shot refusal only 7 showed any signs of neglect most often having nothing to do with medication or lack thereof but it isn't just the government that feels the need to poke their nose in other families affairs mattel is being accused of trying to pander to the woak agenda with a new line of dolls called creative will world the dolls come with short hair and a long haired wig 2 sets of clothing including pants and

a skirt giving them $1000.00 different options for outfits and looks what has some concern is that the gender of the doll is not obvious it could almost be called gender neutral a dirty word in today's climate so let's look into the flip side of p.c. culture run amok and step into the gallery. thanks. for joining me today our correspondent regina sports producer regina hamm and artie corresponded ferran thank you so much for joining me ladies thanks for having us so i want to be good. when i talk about i want to give a vote of the idea of the baby thing because none of us are gets it because i think a lot of the conversations normally about these kinds of things are about vaccines things that facts you know public health that you can kind of say there is

a reason why you would say you either have to do this or you can't participate in certain at certain areas but in the case of the vitamin k. shot it's not medically necessary and there are so many more things with parents do you think there is something wrong with the idea of the government jumping to conclusions requiring certain things because it's supposed to be good for the child taking the parent's decision out of that so it's hard for me to understand this issue because i come from a medical family and i was the smart one that didn't go into medicine but you're seeing cases like the measles pop up and we have cured the measles and now it's parents that are wanting to vaccinate their kids so in those cases i completely understand however when researching this a little bit more and looking at the anti baxter's versus the vax ors i will say when you do see newborns where they're getting 1215 shots at a time that's a little much and i don't know if a newborn baby is going to be able to tolerate that because their newborn baby but when it comes to the vitamin k. and this whole situation i think calling d.c.

fs was a little bit much you don't need to have that's known as an overreaction the mother clearly stated i already talked to the doctor i don't want this done in the nurses like why don't care what you think i think you're neglecting your child and you do see you know when people cite religious grounds the people who say you see in the world. cancer cases there they don't want their kid to go through you know god you know that's fine country stand on really religious freedom you have a right to do that but to overstep someone's explicit wishes is then shooting into the territory like someone could just walk on the street they yell at their child is going to call die for this or call another jesse division of child protection and go she's abusing them and then you're making a giant molehill and some of issues and issues that are going to end up being the state may be going well maybe we're just best take care of your child in 1st place but when you have all to say could do a much better job i mean you do settle or it was all the goods and what is right but you also said that situation in california happening though where you're having

doctors that are just handing out waiver after waiver because the parents just they're either. or i mean maybe their child does have something but now california is looking at a bill where only doctor doctors can only hand out 5 of those waivers i believe it's a year because they were handing him out like skittles and so again that is where you start seeing more of these cases like the measles coming back when we this was a disease that was gone in the 1900 tons or whatever it was so i do see both sides didn't let me ask do you think our parents would survive in this world as parents when we were kids because i feel like my my parents would still be locked i'd be visiting them in prison while i'm writing that i don't know that i'd definitely be in prison i you know jumped off a swing set with a rope tied around one leg thinking i was going to bungee jump had some neighbor seen that report in my mother you know 27 years old you're probably watching my wedding one day from a jail cell i mean these are things i think we've almost gotten to question in that

helicopter parent you know mentality that our kids have to be safe and protected in you know the you know never just parents you go in there and that's i think the next subject is about this doll as i feel like they're connected in this way is that i think we get so worried worried about kids worried about is going to happen worried about all this stuff but we didn't. oh up with that and now i want to talk about these scandalous dolls. so i'm going to something really quick because my parents are actually literally just walk into my apartment right now and they're watching mother you would be in jail because there were times when like there was an instance where i was walking however at the mall not a prophet she's an italian mother so nothing. that i kept walking ahead of her and all of a sudden i feel are shoo and it was like no you're not walking in front of me i have never walked in front of you ever since then and i do understand you know there are. these are you know some kids are coddled. it was learned the hard way

because you know immigrant families i think from when we were raised that's kind of how they were raised as well this is how you save you certain things the right south things were done to the dolls for you says that it was one and that this idea of the dolls is that i don't remember being this uptight about gender when i was a kid but i was also born in the link so maybe it was a little cooler back then were a little more so mattel has this much i was a very extensive line 1st of all i think if anybody was going to talk about pandering to the sort of trying to make money using capitalism to be like look we're being being representative they have a very long line of expensive alternative dolls meant to sort of represent anyone who isn't 9 feet tall skinny and blond so you've got the fashionistas wheelchair barbie for kids of limited oberlin loved ones there's the curvy barbie to show that curvy doesn't mean i'm healthy and you can do yoga i guess and then there is even a white afro are being all * her own no i have no idea who's my but i

respect its diversity not its clothing choices on a fashion but i will get the diversity is on point so they had what was what now is called the the creative bowl world dolls so it seems pretty benign it's really just a doll with short hair a wig and the idea is you can make it into characters and it's like playing dress up with the doll but of course it begs this question like do dolls have to be gender specific or do they have to be like. is there something wrong with the idea what's the harm in having something that doesn't you decide what it is it's a doll there is no harm i think there's an issue of the easy bake of it another gendered toy that was yankin you made terrible cookie that your mother you know a little. but they made like a male version i think what are their considered for our age how dare you know what is wrong with your son learning how to cook and i can tell you how many of the used

to date that's a good skill yeah but the one that type of idea that reinforces those toxic ideas of femininity and masculinity that i think a lot of parents feel like millennial parents are like i don't want my kid to learn that and that's not a bad thing that's a really good thing that they want to teach your kids to you know it's your life at the end is probably not murdering anybody be happy be open and that is not that but see i look at it for example in the case of my little dog who's a border terrier chihuahua and when confronted with a pit bull he thinks that he is the pit bull and it's like oh mine do let's do this and it's like i can't look at him and say yeah buddy your pick boo boo he would get mauled however i do understand he was neutered at the a one month you know so he's he loves his lamb chops and he loves his masculine you know tug of war toys so i mean i understand from his perspective too however while i applaud mattel trying new things and trying to bring new ideas and toys at the forefront i mean i remember doing my little brother's hair in the banana clips and

stuff if you remember from the late eighty's but it was that it was a still stuff sure a little boy you know and you're like baseball and you like that so i mean but it was never pushed on him it was never pushed but you know think that's the one thing where i feel like there is a disconnect between people who are concerned that certain gender choices are being forced on somebody that certain things or that their kids aren't having a chance to figure out who they are before it sort of decided for them but is that really about i mean we're talking about 6 year old. and a doll or a 10 year olds or 12 year olds and as much as you know i understand the idea of you know should we put a given kids on hormones at 8 years old should we be doing these things about gender at 8 years old should we even be putting any of that that this is what girls do this is what boys do because my barbie drove a tonka truck and she was really good and she looked fabulous washee that and i think when you start where it's forced for example like my middle sister hannah

wanted nothing to do with barbies and i would have to literally pay my youngest brother to play with me however he always picked the army candles and it wasn't you know a big thing my parents were like oh god is playing with barbie dolls it was he picked the army guy like cool he's playing with the sister they're having sibling time good for them you know so i think when we start forcing it i think that's when kids they're smarter than we think they see oh i think it really to learn is that our anxieties as adults are proper where more than anything and we put that on kids and i'm like maybe just let it happen doll and figure it out i wish it were time i wish we had more time to talk about scandalous dolls but we will come back next week and you hear that thinking about how much. and regina hamm thank you so much for joining me here in the gallery this week and that everyone is our show for you today remember everyone as my co-host tyrell interest always says in this world we're not told or allowed to not so i tell you i love you on top of the well it

keep on watching those talks and have a great day and night everyone. so what we've got to do is identify the stretch that we have it's crazy for them to you shouldn't let it be an arms race is also a scary dramatic development the only. are those few hours that's right. it will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. karen 2019 with negative interest rates and multi $100000000000.00 trillion dollar venture capital unicorns are all going lost and the colossal fail out is being felt in every corner of the global economy and that's why countries are buying gold

the complaint which sparked impeachment proceedings against president trump is it released by the whistleblower admits not being a direct witness to most of the events described while rival democrats are sticking to their guns. we were presented with the most graphic evidence yet. of the. the united states has betrayed his oath of office. betrayed us to defend our national security and betrayed us to defend our constitution. reiterated his desire to investigate the alleged activities of former us vice president joe biden and his son which. go well beyond ukraine.
