of master sergeant aboard that mission has clearly failed as his son payton slopes has now is also served in afghanistan even at the very same forward operating base that his father served at this never ending war has even outlasted the new york times special at war a section dedicated to covering it the times of war editor loren katzenberg took to twitter to announce that the paper will be ending its at war forum pointedly commenting that there are fewer and fewer spaces that exist to examine the experiences of war and the toll they've taken on both americans and the citizens of other nations for whom the cost of recent conflicts is almost insurmountable yet too often forgotten and that my friends is why when it comes to america's war there was only deafening silence on the campaign trail because war in this country has become a permanent part of the united states experience now let's start watching the hawks

. what's going on on a city the streets. that are so let's see the crisis you always stay i'll see you wrong place great city displaced systemic deception is to late show which i would think so but you still. welcome everyone watching the clock so i am tyrone ventura and joining us today to discuss this now multigenerational running war in afghanistan and the silence of foreign policy on the campaign trail is iraq war veteran and senior fellow at the center for international policy matthew all matthew thank you for coming on as always. matthew 10 years ago in 2009 you you resigned from your post in afghanistan with the u.s. department of state over the continued. because collation of the afghanistan war

and your worst nightmare of if you ever imagine that war would now become a multi-generational one. know it if they drag me on my mind you not have you figured i would i would know enough. with you before i started looking. i also didn't expect to be your pain years after resigned still talking about that actually 11 years and are still talking about the afghan war so no no idea that this would be billed multi-generational the anecdote you spoke of earlier darrelle about the soldier who had done in iraq my sons don't have to go i remember hearing those exact things when i got to rocking the wives and of course now the wars are just not a rock in afghanistan what they really are strong on the part of the land you know

mali in nigeria all the way. to pakistan in the last 40 years are still to this question left leaners not there been very few nations have not been affected by war by refugee crisis by chaos by who. and this is all with all of us policy and back. really to the jimmy carter administration and so while we talk about our sons going to afghanistan because we've been there for 20 years you have to remember for the asking in recent years. their sons are fighting again and it was their grandfathers that fought the soviet union and then in the 1980 so for not just the americans many millions of people whose has become a mobile generation the worst you've got the mass suffering and the trauma that you know just really meets the last generational lines and it's something that you know

i don't see an end to at a time soon again for 13000000 people that's in the western africa all the way to pass. and matthew time magazine reports that pentagon data shows that 80 percent of recent trips come from a family where at least one parent grandparent aunt or uncle sibling or cousin has also worn their nation's uniform as a former soldier what kind of impact do you think this will have on our veterans where now they're seeing their children fighting the exact same war they did. i think there is that you know if you look at the polling that's been done pretty much consistently for the last 10 years on attitudes and actions and the stairs members toward these wars in afghanistan many times there are negative opinion of the war saying that these wars have not been worth fighting out. of the general public or active duty service members and war veterans are saying these

wars are not fighting civilians are ending the civilian category and you have you know if the 70 percent who are opposed to these wars though i think through a lot of family members seeing their children going off to take or in bali i can tell you just personally example plenty of people i know are. is speaking to them because they understand the moral and intellectual honesty or but all they do they understand why their children are joining the military men are joining the economic benefits to get health care benefits to get the education benefits as well as doing it or to the lineage and you know that's one of the great prices we have in america right now there are few occupations across the board that offer a let me offer or share a kitchen and that's what u.s.

military portrays to people rightly or wrongly i think it's the. you know it's motivation ability to kill it devoted to organize a murderer. many there is this a patriotic resonance and was in america i think it. was really. that's the. need absence of things to be proud of and. will find that in the last year we got a couple minutes left i want to ask you with the news that the new york times now ending their kind about war section or forum and how much of this lack of media coverage and this kind of accepted acceptance of neverending war weatherby in afghanistan and iraq and all the places you mentioned earlier that were out war how much of a role has that played in the century everyone ignoring the fact that we're at war on this campaign trail. it is you know we need to get into much bigger issues right guys. the idea that the needy and hollywood and the arms industry.

are all owned by the bank that owns 90 percent of the s. and p. $500.00. no really these wars to me are a lection of our economic system the banks that own the again 90 percent of the s. and p. 500 the top 45 and i really think they're really asset management firms like black rock in bangalore and h.p. they have a principal shareholders in the weapons company and they're the principal shareholders in the fossil fuel industry in the principle shareholders in hollywood as well as the news media you know what the exception of rules are and washington there are only a handful of media organizations out there that aren't connected to the weapons in the street because they're owned by the same bank bill for me it goes beyond this idea that we're not talking about the equal aren't paying attention work isn't

everything the way speech really is the dollars we're saying we can afford health care we can afford a public education because you know a.b.c. but we're just spending a true about it comes out to you every year about a trillion on the order dollars annually spending on its military on the wars we all those of the veteran budget the defense budget nuclear weapons logic homeland security budget plus all the interest we spend on past wars and military spending about one of the order trillion dollars each year and that is making a lot of people a lot of money though when you understand that next. all these industries are tied together by the same banks that own them you can understand how an organization like the new york times and say you know it's really not that important for us to copper these wars any. year later out perfectly rather i got to

say thank you because i think it's very rare that you have someone really put all those pieces together of eloquently of your day and i hope people really pay attention to what you just said because it's important for them to know that thank you so much for coming out of a mouth. in educating our audience as you always do it's always a pleasure having you on sir. and even the asian baby turn around you guys healthy and even well you're too. widespread protests have gripped the country of nigeria in recent weeks as activists and protesters have taken to the streets demanding an end to the police brutality and harassment of citizens of the african nation and they have faith that but they're used to this and has faced at the hands of a special anti robbery squad policing unit that has been in operation since the early 1990 s. in the last 24 hours clashes between the 2 sides have resulted in chaos and reports of fatalities nigeria's president now is appealing to all of his citizens for quote understanding and calm here as artie's alex mahela bitch with this very complex

story. it's a scene we've watched with pete around the world but it was. at least brutality and in nigeria it can lead to death according to amnesty international at least $56.00 people have died during 2 weeks of widespread protest including $38.00 on tuesday that human rights organization says that at least 12 of those killed on tuesday were at 2 separate gatherings where nigerian security forces fired upon peaceful protesters in the country's largest city lagos. with a lesson many keys he says and many incidentally these are the ones that i mean it seems and i certainly didn't and then it's nice that the numbers could be much higher than nigeria's army has called the allegations you. nigerians have been protesting against police brutality in particular they are calling for an end to special anti robbery squad or sars police unit sars was set up in the 1980 s.

to tackle criminality but is accused of kidnapping torture and killing. the protests started online after an undated video showing what appeared to be sars officers attacking a man was shared widely on social media echoing the demands of nigerian protestors voices from around the world have condemned the action of nigerian police some of those supporting the demonstrators in the african country are average people on the streets as far away as london ah ha ha ha ha ha now i was 'd under fire i was others a prominent figures such as the un secretary general so it's time for all countries to understand and i hope nigeria will be able to do so that police will tell you he needs to stop and those without his counsel for a fact. of such. that emetic violence. amid the countable and these is essentially essential everywhere although nigeria's

president mohammed who will hiree disbanded servers last week the protests have continued. the nigerian public has become accustomed to broken promises by the government and have taken this opportunity to campaign for wider social change the nation's government is famous for corruption the country remains poor and lacking in infrastructure while billions of dollars pouring in from oil revenue so far tuesday's violent crackdown has done little to stop the protestors evidently even the most direct tony and measures are not able to silence the voice of the people are watching the hawks i'm alex my limits. all right as we're going to remember that you can also start watching the hawks on the man with a brand new portable t.v. which is available on all platforms coming up we're joined by georgetown law professor and civil rights advocate presta mitchum to break down senator lindsey graham and mitch mcconnell's latest moves to secure a supreme court justice nominee amy connie barrett's a spot that most important bends and what her reign america court would mean for

equality and justice in the united states stay tuned to watching the hawks. was abundant make no certain you know blood is just lying to nationalities. as a murder we don't do that with everybody we don't look like seem. to be. people. judging . comedy classes so that is the sentencing much. we can do better we should know better. everyone is contributing each in our own way but we also

know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created with the response has been massive so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. you know what i mean maybe up there see it on there can be a last picture on many of us grown men not me and our 4. i kind of wear on the. course of the now i think it's higher than our. members of the african mafias conway's them safe and quick passage to europe but once they. leave they are enslaved the country tribunal. will not some of the libya mama not under you know if this unit can get it out to him.

from the cinquera. they sold the. lease it's all on court of the import of it because the persona but i can't even. be the normal any. one else chose seemed wrong. but old rules just don't call. me new world yet to shape our disdain comes to educate and in gains from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

beginning of this year we outlined 6 or 7 things that could be the pin to pop the bubble thank god i'm not sure pandemic was on that list but in general doesn't really matter what the pin is the bubble could have been. eased and deflated long ago but it never was and so now it's chopping and goldman sachs is saying well you know this job by the way an outcome could cause a crash on the dollar baby maybe not in terms of relating to the biden whether he's in or not doesn't matter actually who's in the white house the fact is that the dollar is toast a very garbles of who's in the white house. in the brain. is my favorite or. you are absolutely wrong part of the brain right here in the middle it's on the right side with assimilated and even healthy people one group

sold out of body experience. us president donald trump supreme court nominee amy county barrett is being fast tracked it appears that her appointment to fill the seat left vacant after the death of justice ruth bader ginsburg is inevitable despite voters being just days away from presidential election day if voting patterns provide insights we know that trumps hold on the presidency and the republican hold on the senate could all in in just a matter of days. amy connie berry is a lightning rod for the supreme court but not solely because she's trying to pick but because of what democrats in the majority of american voters are calling an illegitimate process republicans are literally rushing her nomination while an

election is going on and election that could likely remove both the president nominate her in the senate majority likely to confirm her but i mix. the bigger issue the bigger human rights issue civil rights to rights activists have with barrett is her a long history of support for organizations that unravel their progress as well as some problematic opinions it 2900 issue opinion of barrett's came under fire during her confirmation hearing in the 21000 workplace discrimination case back found that the use of the n. word in the workplace did not create a hostile or abusive working environment what. barrett though is an equal opportunity offender the l.g.b. t.q. community speaking loudly against her and for good reason in the county barrett was formally a trustee at a private school with. policies the school board admission of children with same sex parents and made it crystal clear that openly gay or lesbian teachers weren't

welcome in the classroom. and just a few days ago during her confirmation hearing barrett used the term sexual preference to describe the community this term has been deemed highly offensive and outdated as preference implies that sexual orientation is a choice this type of rhetoric has been used to advance dangerous practices like conversion therapy joining us now to unpack all of this is president preston the policy director for united for reproductive in gender equity or urge welcome preston. thank you so much for having me well preston we always count on you to give it to us straight amy kone barrett is going to be seated on the supreme court that's pretty much a fact at this point what does this mean for as your rights acknowledging barrett's past comments and known policy stance is already deemed harmful and discriminatory by activists scholars and civil rights advocates. first of all thank you so much to be back and i am particularly nervous when it comes to judge their it's nominee

and ultimate cost me each process we already knew from the very beginning that it's going to be a process that was rocketed through the. the senate judiciary committee starts a day that you know like grandma mcconnell we're going to break the fast track this nomination and confirmation process next week particularly when it comes to the. we already knew how parrot was one of the last from the use of the word sexual preference and actually we didn't have someone mixed in or on l. will correct it or just least of all on the unions and the disrespect and use of the term preference because that does indicate that they're going back choice also allowed in their actual didn't tell you people any county barrett into the l.t. can mean anything we are. going to have now you know maybe up up for able to get out insurance due to the affordable care act which she's made it quite clear that she wants to overturn this she's also made it quite clear in my estimation that she

wants to make sure going to fail is no longer a law that for sure we just stick with these dancers question. during the hearing it felt like it's over well but i'm just we worried about what this could mean for oil it's not only in the workplace but what it really means that you can bet there are civil rights and the green i think we all are and i want to ask you know with things like discrimination in the workplace specifically geared towards transgender workers can someone like a macone barrett was accepted roles limited in the rights of l g b t q individuals be trusted to rule accordance with the constitution and not her personal leanings i mean that's we're really comes down to she claims are more originalist up all the constitution but can we really trust that that's what or she is going to go with this or is it going to be all personal all the time. in my view most people most of the jurors it's all original it's our it's all in their personal view plain and simple be clear the idea of originalism untouchable ism is

to meet the new white supremacy if we're talking about the actual text of the us constitution we know what was written for in mind why the land owners. we know we're transit non-binary people we're not consider people we know all black people we're not consider people and other people of color we know the history of this country we know all the history of the united states and how white supremacy is all in and just average every single day just so when insurance tends to original i am always always ready to be on guard because right and know that that means or not or protect marginalized communities when it comes the particular question or relation to transponder people we already know that in the united states don't have a national law to protect you from employment discrimination so near as we've attempted to pass the employment under saddam an asian act in the house and the senate that's failed every single year practically and most of the chamber it's might actually make things so again there aren't any federal protections and that's

true even with the case for slate and we've lost the county so again we need that jurors who will protect and defend the rights of marginalized communities and of course that means transgender people and we cannot depend on that person going into a very. impressed and i know you watched the confirmation hearings as many of us did. he had a letter that was written and read during the hearings and they denounce in coming there it's nomination what do you think are some of the reasons why the organization is so adamantly against her becoming the next supreme court justice. because the end of a lazy peña like so many civil rights organizations understands that any honey berry it will not be your friend to people of color just as you mentioned earlier on the policy director for urging which night so we put up with gender equity so the bulk of our work is going to reproductive health rights and justice which includes the right to have a child the right to not how much child the right to raise the children we haven't state environment and the right to not only autonomy so we can talk about what it

actually looks or judge like any tom garrett can turn to the supreme or whatever but we must also discuss that in tandem with conversations around reproductive health care and other access to the. your system still for people who have trees it's an issue and will likely not be a friend to you it's for people who actually are pregnant and may want to think abortion is here we know that she's pregnant be a friend to you and so again i can't speak it's not it is important that organizations white and only 6 meet like that it's a province but the one in the right like the moyers immediate other school it's placed out against the nomination going on with barry again we saw from the very beginning that it's going to be a rush process all this and it will break its own felt today rushing works well when there were do you remember about more of your party presidents and we know this nomination on the altar would be confirmed this upcoming days though again it problematic it's personal because now stop has have to resolve anything the really

fast action of supreme court when again in the last presidential election president obama couldn't even get one through 600 marriage arlen so this is intentional it's corrupt it's undemocratic and so we consistently push against the nomination of and when you care about what i want to ask you only get about a minute left and i just want jump in here is ok liz person gets assigned to the supreme court what is the moves that people can do what are all the moves that these groups can do to kind of push back against this person who's going to be sitting on the bench making laws. i don't ever want a lot of people just bare it will be going for a judge there will be confirmed because the democrats it's not happening numbers there is a minimal things that the democrats in other people who are polled parents confirmation can do however that is not in which it's up we have to call in our standards and that's true actually in battleground. states like north carolina iowa maine alaska west virginia in places that we know some of the standards can you trust it that much to uphold the nomination you must continually push back call our senators

activate our base that's what's really important only one business is to really community so. protected because we know we're dartmouth of in the or we are new york a week after each other so always trust in community and definitely make sure always . great things thank you so much preston for joining us always a pleasure having you on the show sir thank you very much i did on mine thank you. art of what it was our show for you today rumor in this world we are not told that we are loved tell you all love you. and i'm a nice keep on watching all those hawks all 3rd of a great day and night everybody. beginning of this year we outlined 6 or 7 things that could be the pen to pop the bubble i

think i'm not sure pandemic was on that list but in general doesn't really matter what the pin is the bubble could have been. eased and deflated long ago but it never was and so now it's chopping and goldman sachs is saying well you know this job by the way an outcome could cause a crash on the dollar baby maybe not and terms of relating to the biden whether he's in or not doesn't matter actually who's in the white house day the fact is that the dollar is tones that were garbles of his at the white house. you know what i'm going to get there so i don't think about it i don't mean a i don't mean not for. i kind of but i want it. back and i think now i think it's having. members of the africa mafias safe and quick to utopia but once they.

take out speech util. will not some of them maybe a mom and i couldn't you know if this you know we're going to. don't blame the dog on the cheek when mainly out of the they sold the. lead. on court of the a man who important that it was the persona but ok given that all this can be the normal any. one else seemed wrong but all in all just don't call. me old yet to shape our disdain comes to educate and in games from an equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. in the brain. my favorite or. us losing rights we have a part of the brain right here in the middle that's on the right side very high with assimilated and even healthy people one of the crew for sold out of body experience. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking together for the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.
