trump or his challenger former vice president joe biden wants to touch with a 19 and a half foot pole and that my friends is the u.s. war machine most specifically the longest running war in u.s. history afghanistan you see well foreign policy in general has been largely ignored on the campaign trail save for the hilarity of you know both sides hating on china spinning paranoid fantasies of evil foreign nations interfering in our elections are the republicans you know they're screaming about iran and the democrats as usual are screaming about russia it's the crickets surrounding our almost 20 year long war in afghanistan that is truly beyond the pale especially when stars and stripes is now reporting that years after they fought in afghanistan u.s. troops are now watching as their children deploy to the same war yes my friends afghanistan is not only the war that never ends and it goes on and on my friends it is now become generational multi-generational we're fighting there has been passed

down bother to son and mother to daughter here in the united states to the story of master sergeant trevor de boer who 1st deployed to afghanistan back in 2002 and recently told stars and stripes quote when we started this people asked why i was going and my response was so my sons don't have to fight this war well through no fault of master sergeant aboard that mission has clearly failed as his son payton slopes has now it's also served in afghanistan. and even at the very same forward operating base that his father served that 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 . if you want to know what's going on in a city street you want to see. the missiles which see the crisis you always stay i'll see you slice this great city this least systemic deception is late show which i will so please just as. a welcome everyone watching the parts 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 escalation of the afghanistan war in your worst nightmares did you ever imagine that war would now become a multi-generational one. you know it if they drag me on my mind was not a figure at this point i would i would know it now. which is before i started looking. i also didn't expect to be year in years after resigned still talking about that actually 11 years and are still talking about the afghan war so no no idea that this will be billed multi-generational the anecdote will go up

earlier darrelle about the soldier who had done in iraq my sons don't have to go i remember hearing those exact when i got to iraq in 2. 'd wives and of course now the wars are just not a rock in afghanistan they literally are wrong on the part of the land you know mali in nigeria all the way. to pakistan in the last 40 years or so to this question left leaners is not there been very few nations that have not been affected by war by refugee crisis by chaos by. and this is all with all of you with policy and that. really is 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 wasn't more

years so their sons are fighting again and it was their grandfathers that fought the soviet union and then in the 1980. or 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 get into at a time again for the 1000000 people that and. western africa or the way that that. 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 it being nice there is members toward these wars in afghanistan many times there are negative opinion of the war saying these wars have not been worth fighting out. of the of the general public the more active duty service members and more veterans are saying these wars are not fighting civilians are ending the civilian category we have you know it's 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 indeed ali i can tell you just personally example plenty of people i know are the idea of it is making them because they understand the moral and intellectual honest. 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. order the lineage and you know let me think that's one of the great prices we have in america right now there are few occupation. board that offer a let me offer a sharer and that's what u.s. military portrays to people rightly or wrongly i think it's the. you know what motivation to go to the killing so devoted to organize a murderer. for many there is this a patriotic resonance and was in america i think that many of you. really need. that. many 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 whether be in afghanistan 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 i mean to get into much bigger issues right guys. the idea that the needy and hollywood and the arms industry and you know are all owned by the bank that owns 90 percent of the s. and p. $500.00. no really these wars to me are election 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 principle shareholders in the weapons company and they're the principal shareholders

in the fossil fuel industry in the preschool shareholders in hollywood as well as the news media you know with the exception of lugar and washington post there are only a handful of media organizations out there that aren't connected to the weapons industry because they're owned by the same bank bills for me it goes beyond this idea that we're not talking about the equal aren't paying attention work isn't everything we're wasting millions of dollars we're saying we can't 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 of united states spending on its military on the wars we had all those are the veterans 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 war trillion dollars each year and that is

making a lot of people a lot of money though when you understand that nexus when you understand how all these industries are tied together by the same profit 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 poverty war is any you know i think you're laid out perfectly rather i got to say thank you because i think it's very rare that you up 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. and educating our audience as you always do it's always a pleasure having you on sir. and even the shouldn't they be going 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 heat around the world of god. 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 he sees as a mini incidentally these are the ones that i mean it seems and i said that when the indian and it's nice that the numbers could be much higher nigeria's army has called the allegations you. nigerians have been protesting against police brutality in particular they are calling for an end to the 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 because on i was 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 the facts. of such. that emetic violence. amid the countable the and these is essentially essential everywhere although nigeria's president mohamed who will hire 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 pour in from oil revenue so far tuesday's violent crackdown has done little to stop the protestors evidently even the most direct kone and measures are not able to silence the voice of the people for watching the hawks i'm alex my limit. all right as we

go to break 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 preston mitchum to break down senator lindsey graham and mitch mcconnell's latest moves to secure supreme court justice nominee amy connie barrett's a spot that most important bends and what her reign on that court would mean for equality and justice in the united states stay tuned for watching the whole thank. you. thank.

born in the wild the way they love you and the white house. in the soil or how you would think if. you. top that wonderful. poem and. one of. sorrow very sorry 6 6. even after russia gate was debunked as a hoax this conspiracy theory lives up in fact it appears to become far far soul of our political discourse if you will post someone or an idea all you have to do is play in russia no facts necessary in fact those claims for now suffice.

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 trump's picks 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 it. the bigger issue

the bigger human rights issue civil rights the 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 bear found that the use of the n. word in the workplace did not create a hostile or abusive working environment. barrett though is an equal opportunity offender the 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 time 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 berry is going to be seated on the supreme court that's pretty much back at this point what does this mean she writes acknowledging where it'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 truly nervous when it comes to judge there it's nomination and also the consummation process we already knew from the very beginning that it's going to be a process that was rocketed through the. senate judiciary committee started 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 there are actually it's also allowed in there are actual didn't tell you people any county barrett into the l.t.c. meeting and we are. going to have now you know many of us are 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 we're going to tell it no longer a law that search or be tested with these dancers question not during the hearing

that felt that late it's over fell 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 beret who was accepted roles limited 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 were really comes down to she claims are more original or stop all the constitution but can we really trust the 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 'd would cheer as it's all the original is are it's all in their personal viewpoint and to be clear the idea of originalism untouchable ism is deeply rooted white supremacy if we're talking about the actual text of the us constitution we know what was written for in mind why 8 racist 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 it's all been and just average every single day just so when insurance stands there regional i am always always 'd ready to be on guard because i know that that means you're not protect marginal last minute east 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 women on it's from a nation act in the house and the senate that's failed every single year practically and most of the chamber it's mighty many states so again there aren't any federal protections and that's true even with the case the 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 can not depend on that person we get into a very. impressed and i know you watch the confirmation hearings as many of us did . he had a letter that was written and read during the hearings and they denounce ain't coming very 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 and i'm 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 virgin 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 rights and not how much child the right to raise the children we have been safe environment and the right to not only autonomy so we can talk about what it actually means for a judge like any tom garrett to be confirmed to the supreme or whatever but we must also discuss that in tandem with conversations around reproductive health care and

other access to the. there is a 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 not going to be a friend to you and so again actually it's not it is important that organizations white church and only 6 eat like that it's a province but that one in the right like to moyers immediate other to continue it's place it 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 the minority party presidents and we know this nomination on the altar would be confirmed this upcoming days and so again it's problematic it's personal because now stop has have to resolve anything the really fast track should have supreme or when again in the last presidential election president obama couldn't even get one through on the american arlen so this is

intentional it's corrupt it's undemocratic and so we need to consistently push against the nomination of and on the air about what i want to ask you about a minute left this one 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 bear will be going for judge there will be confirmed because the democrats it's not happening numbers there is minimal things that the democrats in other people who are all 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 though in states like north carolina iowa maine alaska west virginia in places that we know the most interesting we trust that much to uphold the nomination must continually push back call our senators activate our base that's what's really important to leave on this note is to really really community

so. protect it l. because we know regardless of when the or we are we new york will be after each other and so always trust the community and actually make sure always actors are great things and on thank you so much preston for joining us always a pleasure having you on the show sir thank you very much but i do it online thank you. art of what about is our show for you today were in this world we are not told that we are loved enough so i tell you all i love you i tyrrel winter and i'm a basic rocky bottom watching all those hawks out there ever great day and night everybody. in the 1920 s. and thirty's several 100 african-americans moved to the soviet union and many of

their descendants still live in russia. looking at the mostly cloudy but us throw up of stuff just to be wasted on things and us at the. tables back home but i can merican suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. is that not the smug the deal and i'd be a losing show one by elsa still on but by doing. so they decided to leave everything behind and start a new life in a country about which they knew almost nothing at all some of the african americans who were through here in the united states period found great the crowd. to the moon they are going few going to go including you and now almost a 100 years later the history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time i went to russia. on how the worst time to go anywhere why not me.

what am i. here. computer communications were planted in human communication 3 d. does a lot of things better than where you do so the possibility not just being restricted with the brains we go out with the fine art number of growing stuff but even today even just combining truth serum and bribes to go. under similarly has a lot of the advantages. this is a story of women and women with troubled histories and complex court cases you know some of us date really leave off whole lives out there but we're not. the person that there's a cheesiness of the day are considered the most dangerous of criminals she's in a still. all the off 23 hours of the day tell me that it's not enough punishment
