well with all that combative he experienced when watching john wayne in the green berets back in 68 about the extent of his combat experience the new york times reports the traumatic brain injuries and soldiers and civilians on the battlefield are the most are most often the result of powerful changes in atmospheric pressure that accompany an explosion like that from a missile warheads or an i.e.d. or other such explosive things so trump and company rather than admit that they're brazen assassination of top iranian general because seems so the money ultimately led to the injury of u.s. servicemen instead who instead they went to the n.f.l. is old line of excuses what brain trauma who why i've never heard of such a thing and this is the way in this is why my friends we must always be watching the hawks. was going on in the city you streets. that are so you'd like to see the prices you always stay on see

a rolls royce gracie suggests least systemic deception is the late show which would be so just as. well remember when the watching the hawks i am tyrol been joining me now to discuss traumatic brain injuries in u.s. soldiers and the current u.s. political class is going to pretend patriotism when it comes to us about this is the former litigation staff attorney for the national bedrooms legal services program and political consultant rory reilly topping rory always a pleasure having you on thank you. thanks for having me so is is trump's statements regarding the injuries these 34 soldiers received indicative of the lack of understanding and even compassion soldiers and veterans suffering from traumatic brain injuries received from our political class. so yes i think that you're right there's certainly a lack of understanding i want to break out those 2 concepts because even though they're interlake did there's a couple of different things. so in terms of lack of understanding i mean you

played the clip of the president's quotation where he said he heard they were headaches that they're not very serious one of the challenges with injuries like t.b.i. is that some of the most serious symptoms aren't readily apparent they don't show up until later so a symptom like a headache even though it may not seem serious at the time is something that requires medical treatment and needs to continue to be monitored so you mentioned the n.f.l. for example we've seen the long term effects of many players who purportedly just had headaches and the severe damage that was done to their brains as a result of that and people may recall with the actress natasha richardson she was in a skiing accident claimed she only had a headache only to pass away several hours later from a traumatic brain injury so i think we need to keep those examples in mind that traumatic brain injury is very serious it doesn't only affect veterans but and service members and in this context though given the overall political climate and

how serious it is we don't want to go about claiming victory that no one was harmed when some of these injuries are in fact very serious and then just turning to your 2nd point about compassion i think that's a really important thing to and one of the challenges when we're talking about combat and you know active war zones like we saw in the air base in iraq is you know people like trump are very far removed from it as you noted he did not serve himself he's not a veteran himself. has always stated that he has great respect for the troops and for veterans as well but when he makes statements like that it just it makes me question if he really does because people who have had this type of injury again they do they are deserving of of our compassion and sometimes that compassion means acknowledging that injuries took place and not just projecting a tough guy image to the rest of the world especially when it's not entirely accurate i think that's one of the biggest problems we were so. seeing with brain

injuries a traumatic brain injury c.t.e. things like that is that you know they're happening to soldiers football players people that we associate with tough you know and all of the oh when they start getting symptoms it's all walk it off you know it's not that big of a deal but it is a truly big deal how many buttons from us military adventures in iraq it got us in our coming home with t.b.i. type injuries and you know you mentioned some of the effects of these things one question have to is it can we even fight war because i mean if it comes from the impact of missiles you know of bombs and things like that shake up one's head that's pretty much a war zone you can't really escape that you can't make it home with the protection that can we. well i think that number one the amount of veterans that we've seen who have been afflicted by t.b.i. the numbers are very high and i apologize i don't have an exact statistic offhand but this it's been called the signature wound of war and particularly of modern combat because as you noted combat today is very much in terms of missiles. things

like that as opposed to you know more direct combat that we associate with previous conflicts you know world war one in world war 2 for example so our helmet technology has gotten better and it's something that i think people are continuing to pay attention to but on the one hand it's it's hard to say that will ever have a helmet that can fully protect from those types of injuries i mean you see some of those blasts are pretty severe and if your head is shaking back and forth even if it's within a padded helmet and again to go back to the n.f.l. example we see it's certainly improved but i don't think it's fair to say that it's a remedy that proves that that prevents all of those types of injuries so we definitely need to pay more attention because again it is such a signature wound of this war and more importantly when people have a t.b.i. if they're not getting the medical care that they need it can impact so many other things in that person's life so it can adjust for. military veterans that can

adjust it can affect their adjustment back to civilian life it can cause mental health symptoms that can make them more prone to suicide and although the administration in the department of veterans affairs have said that suicide prevention is a top priority despite all the renewed focus on that issue they're not talking about t.b.i. and i think that they should be because when you go through that kind of injury and you know your brain literally somebody compared it to an earthquake the neurons in your brain just where they used to connect they don't connect anymore there's a break and if you don't understand that and don't understand why all of these other things that are happening to stem from you know those broken neurological pathways are not getting treatment it can be a downward spiral for the rest of your life and i don't know as of why we need to have you know that i mean that important it is that important i want to thank you because you're one of the few people out there with a beautiful piece on it until this last week and i want to thank you for the for the work that you're doing out there and bringing these kind of veterans' issues to the forefront you are definitely someone who walks the walk rather than just talks

the talk of the topic thank you so much for bringing this to our attention today always a pleasure. thank you. if there is one word that instantly brings to mind the tragedy of mankind without its most vile most cruel it has to be auschwitz yes the infamous concentration in the extermination camp created orchestrated and operated by nazi germany in poland during world war 2 in the holocaust the ground at auschwitz soaked up the blood of roughly 1100000 souls that's the law and this week monday january 27th marks the 75th anniversary of the liberation of was auschwitz by the soviet army back in 1945 artie's peter all over the story. many of those who passed through the camps infamous gate with its marking are by far your work sets you free message survived only

a few months the reichsbahn railway network was the arteries of the nazi war machine it was also the mode of transportation used for what reich leadership with cold matter of factness called the final solution to the jewish question the extermination of european jews through and through the roof through the 1st the people were loaded on to trains often and heated freight carriages sometimes people were transported impossible 3rd class passenger carriages they were advised to take all of their valuables with them and some food and warm clothes regardless of the time of year in other words people were led to believe that they were being taken for resettlement inmates had their heads shaved on arrival that was then packed up and shipped to german companies for use as a raw material gold teeth were also removed in barbaric fashion any possessions taken away suitcases shoes i lasses pots pans those not killed immediately put to work in

a par and conditions for some that fell to fertilizing fields with the ash from bodies of those already murdered in cremated but when you thought that there was an attempt to destroy the whole race from babies to old people and to do it modern technology auschwitz amazes historians of visitors with this technology hope today she was just for the purpose of killing people with gas as the end of the war reproached the soviet military closed in on territory which had spent 2 years under the jack boot of nazi occupation reich officials in charge of the camps tried to cover up their crimes those inmates that could work were sent towards germany on what became known as death marches buildings were blown up and bodies burned sending huge. plumes of smoke skyward it was these attempts to cover up what had been happening here that prompted soviet generals to investigate what had been going on. with the book why do we say that liberating and saving the prisoners was

truly a heroic deed because the marshal cohen a commander of the 1st ukrainian front received intelligence on this horrific camp and how did they get this information because there was smoke the nazis were burning everything including bodies to raise all traces of their crimes so kind of adjusted the plan of the offensive and auschwitz liberated 2 days earlier than they originally planned on entering the camp liberating troops found 7000 prisoners in dire need of medical attention however the hundreds of thousands of items of clothing and almost one ton of human hair betrayed the true extent of the crimes committed here with the who did go to the red army arrived and as soon as our journalists the soldiers saw the people from the camps they immediately realized they needed help so they started providing medical care there was a hospital with experience of treating mao nourished and starving patients from the besieged city of learning ground and that helps save the lives of 7000 prisoners in

2005 the date of deliberation 27th of january was declared international holocaust remembrance day by the united nations acknowledging both the crimes of nazi germany and the actions of soviet troops in liberating the camp. peter all of a t for auschwitz birkenau poland. fantastic producer and as we go to break or quarters don't forget to let us know what you think of the profits recovered at our social media be sure to check out watching the hawks the podcast which is now available on spotify apple music and everywhere you listen to your favorite or not so pay for podcast you can also start watching the hawks on demand through the brand new portable t.v. app available on smartphones to google play and the apple app store by searching for a bold 3 d. or stream us to your t.v. at home by downloading the portable t.v. app on the apple t.v. and on line at portable dot the horrible t.v. will be available on more devices coming soon all right but coming up next for us

it's beginning to look a lot like 2016 all over again except this time it's the democratic establishment not the republican establishment being toppled by be kept by a charismatic outsider and there was a new film at sundance that was sending shock waves through the patriarchy stay tuned to watch in the homes. of. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. thinks

. we dare to ask. so it becomes a passer mechanism right so they buy back their own stock with cheap money from the fed and they go. through the company ostensibly to help the company but it's not it's it's disenfranchising the company and then on the other side the executives who are getting that money from the fed directly into their pocket they use the company as a pastor mechanism so what happens is it leads to incredible malinvestment so boeing that was done longer a viable company. and . my uncle the kid seemed completely stable boy to deny. people in the group who can.

just a week away the democratic presidential primary will be off and running with the iowa caucuses no more debates no more talk just looks votes on who iowa wants to see on the democratic ticket next november but all is not well one democrat land because many of the party's top brass are saying she. as of 2016 all over again we all know the story by now a populist outsider with a growing mass the followers take surprising command of a shocked and flabbergasted party's presidential nomination except this time my friends know it is not just the jeb bush led republicans and donald trump no this time it's the joe biden led democrats and independents senator bernie sanders sanders now leading recent i won new hampshire polls by substantial margins matt bennett cofounder of 3rd way told politico the republican money people were laughing at trump when he came down the escalator and they kept laughing at him for way too long until holy crap he's winning primaries what i fear is one will emerge

too late is what happened with trump so is this the year bernie sanders and his army of progressive followers finally prize the presidential nomination from the corporate democratic party bosses or will this be 2016 all over again where party leaders steal the nomination away from the firm on medicare for all wielding senator amiss across joins me to break this down amazing fascinating what's going on within the party absolutely i think that you know from from a party standpoint we started off with a race that was the largest of the democratic field or anything else has ever seen in american history bernie sanders has come back from a devastating health blow himself many people had written him off then he's somebody who was really emerged to have real staying power despite some confrontation on the campaign trail among a lot of the bernie bros saying things online and social media channels that have been racially insensitive that have been gender insensitive and we feel seen bernie

sanders be able to not only fund raise that level of nobody thought possible but also be able to amass a following that despite some of the controversy a lot of his critics had yet to see coming and that following you know kind of reaches beyond the stereotype too that you see like you when you see online when people ever question the bernie bro stereotype you. mediately see everybody across the diversity spectrum was a burning follower you know kind of come forward and say no that's not just you know that's not the only group following him that's not where it's power comes it was fascinating to see the play out exactly i think that one of the one of the things that helps him with resonating power is that he has pretty much showcased themselves as an anti-establishment individual and i think that people across this country boaters specifically not only in 2016 but also today want to see people who they feel like are not owned by a certain political party are owned by or owned by corporate interests and i think that bernie's message has resonated with a lot of folks even people who aren't necessarily democratic socialist as he identifies himself but i do think that we are in

a very interesting point in our nation's history where people want to see change they want to see something new he's speaking to a lot of the frustration voters have with government as is and i think that that is something that has really helped to push him to stop you know want to ask because like also we saw this with democratic national committee chair tom is nominated a kind of who's who of the stablish meant types very good a lot of flack for it they're saying let mean you know you've known bernie types in there to the 2020 democratic convention committees were talking to people like you know carol browner former congressman brownie frank and of course norman we love them john was that we need to grind bernie to a pulp but best these are not fans of the sanders kind of movement are we looking at another establishment hijacking that those e-mails we saw back in 2016 showed us they're going to try to hijack it if bernie goes in to this convention we're going to see the establishment say we know you love them but we have our guy or gal over here i don't use the term hijacking but i think the d.n.c. is doing with the d.n.c.

always does in the sense that they choose people who they know have that staying power in the democratic party people who can turn over fundraising dollars people who matter to to their delegates and people who are able to swing state vote these are folks who are names they've done it for decades in many cases across various places in this country who also have media. or when it comes to always being the ones interviewed on a lot of our cable news networks and things like that these are people who have that level of interest amongst democratic voters but the flip side of that is for a d.n.c. that is already under siege in many ways for not only what was done in 2016 but also for a lot of the a lot of the rules that helped to eliminate certain people off of the democratic debate stage that has become frustrating we started off with a debate stage that was the most diverse this country ever seen and it got real white really quick oh yes so i think that the d.n.c. is taking a lot of hits for various things and this is definitely did not help them no it didn't know did not think and i think that those e-mails that came out in 20062 that scared a lot of the young base off on their side like the way they are both in the

superdelegates game and things like that you don't want to repeat of that because then they will feel you know what it's been rigged 2 years in a row what are we there now so they've got to really avoid but. enough politics i want to get on to this other thing you brought up a really interesting fascinating story to me earlier today and i want to touch on that absolutely and thanks r.l. there is a new film gaining a lot of buzz among critics and supporters alike the film promising young woman stars carey mulligan the film explores the emotional and psychological effects of sexual abuse and trauma and it mulligans character makes the societal called actions to hold those accountable often not only get away with sexual assault but seemingly prosper meanwhile leaving forever damaged victims in their wake mulligan is the dark hero who seeks justice for the abuse women our criminal justice system did not meet to revenge film has already appeared at the sundance film festival and is bound to keep making waves. most definitely is this a fascinating story i want to ask you what do you find so striking about this film

both in the applause for but also in you know it's getting a little bit controversial it's gotten some backlash what is what's so striking what jumps out to you about this film absolutely in the applause in the applause chamber i think that one of the things that this film points out is that a lot of those who. who have committed sexual assault. or any type of sexual crime go on to live productive lives many of them become c.e.o.'s they become you know heads of a lot of major corporations they become your boss and i think that in this film it goes to show case that these people get off scot free and the emotional scars that the women who have been abused carry with them are devastating and they are keep on living their lives meanwhile this replayed over and over again in many ways it puts it on or it's on society to do more for those women who are going through life and just trying to get by after they've had these devastating experience but i think it's important to see that it's important for these kind of movies to be made because i think we forget a lot of times of kind of the corporate superhero element and thrill ride that

hollywood is that these kind of movies are powerful because they keep things moving we don't want me to to die just with court cases against harvey weinstein and jeffrey obscene things like that we want that to continue to move forward it has to change society right absolutely and we're seeing some of that we're seeing a lot of the need to initial momentum died down which i think is there is that we know that you know by the numbers 7 and sand in many cases especially for younger women the levels are even higher than that for minority women there through the roof and i think that for for american society as a whole we cannot afford to allow these women to be silent and sally that continues to happen across this country so movies like this one not only highlight the fact that these men continue to go on and lead prosperous lives but also showcase the mental damage and a lot of the social pressures that the women still face because i do think even if a woman goes on to have her own family if a woman goes on to be successful in her own career in many cases people assume that those wounds go away and this film really highlights the fact that that's not the

case it's also interesting too because the film and casting kind of the perpetrators who carry mulligan kind of you know. calls out for what for the wrong is what they did they cast a lot of actors that we know from like very nice guy roles they're not prototypical people that you think of who are you know committing like you know they're not bad guys or the people you're used to seeing play bad guys which is important for the meta movement because exactly it's not about like the guy in the alleyway you know the world trying to be afraid of it's about the guy who pretends to be the best friend it's about the boss who says hey man you make a good point because this was a purposeful casting. in a lot of movies and in a lot of what you're told as a kid it's stranger danger in the majority of sexual assault abuse cases the person who abuses you is not a stranger it is someone who is either a family friend sometimes it's someone who you turn down for a date or maybe even somebody who you dated years ago it is a boss it is someone who is in a hierarchical position that is stronger and more powerful than you but it's not

necessarily a complete stranger so i think that in many of these cases you have to understand that these women are being abused by people who they were supposed to trust people who are known to them and people who by and large to the rest of society are not dangerous these are people who go about their lives every day many of them go home to families and are you know model members of society that's how folks see them so when you choose actors who have not been the bad guy in 500 films i think that helps to go back to that point to the point home do we need to see more films like this come out not just in regards to like me too but just films that are really pushing the boundaries of our culture and saying hey we've got to pay attention to this absolutely because i firmly believe that film and television is one of the greatest drivers of societal change for those who may not understand someone specific story personally we what we've seen is that movies move people and they help them to put a face to something that's actually going on and helps them to think deeper and understand beyond the headlines the seriousness of a particular issue i guess i thank you so much for coming on today always

a pleasure having you on look forward to having you on all this week absolutely thanks for having me time right well certainly not on the level of them. moon the earth definitely could have been called old crater face in high school especially with the news of a recently discovered 70 kilometer wide crater in western australia this crater is believed to have been made some 2200000000 years ago plus or minus 5000000 years successfully making the yarra baba yes i think i'm saying that right you are above a crater earth's oldest known recorded meteorite impact crater the meteorite hit that the media hit that created yarra baba is said to have occurred during the end of the ancient glacial period and that the impact released up to 200 trillion kilograms of water vapor into the atmosphere which could have melted the ice sheets and brought a much needed warming to the planet which then created life all right everybody
