what's driving to this concerning new government and join me now for the 360 view is retired us army ranger, robin bureau and editorial writer and journalist jennifer massey. thank you so much for joining me. thank you. thank you, jennifer. i want to start with you on this, you know, 2014, to think press of alma was right and making the prisoner exchange deal. i mean, these are obviously 4 very important figures and the enemy that we were fighting in exchange for one soldier who in fact improve and deserted his unit. yeah, i mean, anyone in 2014 was screaming. this is a bad idea. you know, the, the entire community and the u. s. military. he did not listen to, meaning obama did not listen to. and now we know our illustrious broberg doll was, you know, court martialed and guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. now he is trying to expunge his record from being dishonorably discharged. like people don't know his name already go metro obama for one second. it's arguably that he is

arguably the he broke the law by making this decision before presenting congress with that. well, and that's a question, a lot of us, you know, when i was happy to remember, there was a couple of people who were very upset over this robin. you think president obama realized how important these taliban soldiers were that he was exchanging? and if he didn't, why was he not told? he knew the president obama knew full well how important these people oral were. and it's to the taliban and the taliban. i've got to disclose here something. i in my capacity as the u. s. army ranger, i had a hand in this situation with both our goal, so i'm intimately familiar with this. there's a lot, but i can't disclose about this, but i am i, i'm very, very familiar with this. i have great issue with it. both are all just starting his unit, of course, but of course the united states government was going to spare no expense trying to get one of our soldiers home, even though he did deserve his unit and was acting as

a lone wolf with the taliban. we couldn't leave our guy over there. it's in the freed up. every soldier, every ranger. we're not going to leave anybody behind the beds fighting for us, even if they deserted us. but what it took to get there, scotty makes my soul hurt and cringe, which i think is a lot of the reason why the debate is happening over the last month of how we withdrew. no different probable on this issue. i do have to ask you, what is the difference between 2014 and having such a commitment that we will do whatever takes including giving for terrorist right back to the people we're fighting as well as others that we release to get, get mo, compared to now currently where we left a whole group who left hundreds, not only soldiers, but americans behind what had changed in how the military and how the united states government regard to those left in these types of situations. yes, to be clear, we didn't leave any soldiers behind. those are now home. i have footprints that

were working on the evacuation. i interviewed one for my podcast just last week at w. w, w dot american discourse dot com or a lot of information. there are the people that are there. i know the course, the state department telling us that it's between 100 to 200 people. and some of these people were dual citizens of citizens of afghanistan. some of them have family members there. i still think there's more to the story than we're necessarily getting from the state department. i know that multiple attempts have been made to tell these people to get out and try and get them out. but if they're doing citizens and they're citizens of a dentist and also and will not leave, i'm not so sure what we can do to get them out. i'm just concerned that we're not getting the full story here and that unfortunately it's something that has happened in history. hence why you probably have that fear. you know, jennifer, that being said this debate regarding giving prisoners i get a timely trial has been going on and i think it's real interesting. the timing. even those that were involved in 91120 years ago this week. granted cobra delighted

a year are finally getting their days in court. however, does the fact that prisoners that we released or change our were highly involved in the taliban after they left. that kind of justification for keeping these prisoners locked up rather than releasing them back into the battlefield, where we known in the past several of them went back to fight us soldiers. scotty, islamic extremism is a hell of a drug. you have to keep them locked up. they will always return to the battlefield even though obama said in 2014, he assured us that they would not return to the battlefield. it's actually not true . by 2018. the taliban 5 is used to call them held prominent positions in the exiled taliban. that was in guitar. so they went right back within 4 years, they found their way back to the battlefield. in fact, the newly confirmed minister of information and culture just now for the taliban. he was just part of the talks in moscow with him,

with the binding representative to discuss the withdraw from, from afghanistan. well, and that's the thought that you know, there's a lot of different things going back on as robin, we're talking about the taliban leadership. there's also a wanted terrorist who are in the us. so the i did this is ministration is taking this tone and doing the taliban. a very positive tone, especially now the majority of people are out. do you think that's actually reasonable? kenneth calvin actually work with us, considering there's some pretty personal vendettas, you know, against the u. s. for maybe i don't know, 15 years being put and get mo, you think they're actually legitimately wanting to work with the u. s. holler, me a skeptic. scott. i was a skeptic when our former president met with the taliban and i didn't camp david's last january of 2018. i understand doing whatever it takes to try and work on relations here and keep our people safe. but i don't trust the tell at all for their word that it's been proven time and time again that we cannot trust them

. so all i can say is that i'm glad that i'm, we're learning now that our soldiers are, has demolished a lot of the equipment that was sent over there and rendered inoperable. that's news that we just found out, but i'm still concerned about all of the equipment that we had to ask and forces that us now in the hands of the telemark. that is not okay, but there's really nothing we can do about that. we were training their horses so that they could defend themselves. they just surrendered to the taliban. there really didn't. they didn't really put up any fight. to be honest. i think that's the thing that our intelligence probably warned the president that you could see from the outside there was not going to stand up despite what this person continuously said. but i think that was what even trump even said when he was an office. bad, bad judge, and i think from the top, from the last year, the ministrations jennifer, why before let's go. we're talking about these refugees that are coming over. there is a lot of concern about the vetting process and even other foreign leaders have said they're worried about isis. k actually being in these and other terrorist groups are actually making good on exploring the goodwill of countries towards refugees to

use to gain access to the sleeper cells in the west. are you concerned about this vetting process? we did just see this past weekend in germany and ask in refugee actually used a knife and went violent in an area and actually did bad damage and hurt some people. so do you think we're doing a responsibility to national security? the way that we're very nice, the refugees we're bringing in. absolutely there's, there's no way to that all down, especially how fast are doing it, even though some of them are in, you know, 3rd party countries before they come here. it's almost impossible to that. then they don't have papers their, their country just fell to the taliban. i don't know what kind of documents they have, but also with the state department sending out blank visas for a lot of people to fill out, you know, who is who, but also in the muslim faith, they do something called to kia, which is you can lie about anything to, to further advance, you know, islamic face. so they're going to lie and they're going to scheme and they're going

to get to the united states or other countries that they would like to get to in order to harm us. you cannot believe anything they say, which is unfortunate, but that's where we are and there is no way to bet them or believe them at this time. well, enforce. i feel like i've continues to be kind of in the face. all the veterans like yourself, robin, and those that were obviously victims of 911 who were focusing on this week as they continue to make moves like this. thank you so much for having a conversation. now the health care debate has not really been a priority in the united states, mainly because the government already has stepped in and i see the cost of most expenses related to the testing prevention and the treatment of covert 19. now that sounds like a small taste of what socialized health care would be like. however, one country with socialized health care is decided they currently can't afford the bill and have announced a health and social care levy. 1.25 percent increase in the national insurance tax in the present and a separate tax on earned income, specifically for health and social care. all beginning in 2023,

u. k prime minister born johnson says the funding will be used to tackle the national health care system backlog from the pandemic. but that's only at 1st and then it will roll over to pay for new caps on individual contributions to social care. you actually think that tax would go away? never. so to give us a reaction and if the pandemic is going to be raising your taxes, we bring in hello, hello records president the brace american, ben. so sir, thanks for joining us. hillary pleasure to be back with you again. scottie ok so chance rick cynic said there's a backlog treatment for over 5000000 people. currently in the u. k. give us a picture of what is current health care like the situation u. k. for entered into visuals both in regards to cobit as well. everything else, people get sick when you're right. so i'm sure that he's the charge of the extra cup. so he actually, you're right. he said there's a tremendous backlog. now if you want to get any other surgery, anything in the u. k, if you want me surgery, for example, it's month to month a month, and in some cases it's 2 years. there's a backlog that why?

because they've run out of bed. now the only thing is, i would say that's not unique to the u. k, this is across the world. so you can't just say, well it's, it's just the u. k. problem because it is, and in fact as health care goes compared to european countries, any way you're better off in the u. k than most other countries. it has been better wrong and don't forget the vaccination process. over 90 percent of the u. k. public . what they call double jobs compared to the, the rest of the european union. so it's far more efficient than anywhere else in the, in the european union. so it's very well run and it's far more efficient. nevertheless, there is this backlog and that's why they've levied this tax post. johnson has said he doesn't want to go into more debt in order to from the n h s, the national health service. so how to the british people, how people you can react when their government says, you know, we more money from your taxing here in the us. they don't take it to well, well they don't, but i'll show you golf poll has said that over 64 percent of the british public is in favor of this tax. why the n h s actually in the u. k. is considered it sort of

like in america, we call it, you know, pi mother and apple pie. it's very favorably looked upon because it is so very well run and waiting for months for or yeah, because obviously what everybody went through the pandemic. and actually every night, at 7 o'clock in the u. k. people were going outside of the houses and they were banging their pots and pans in recognition of people in that were serving and they, i know people in the u. s. i just tried to start something like that here because people were actually very impressed with how the n h s. obviously went to work with serving the nation during this time. but i would say this, the you gonna tow it very accurate. the people are very supportive in the tax also, even though it is a tax scottie, and i know you both. you and i are are not like pro taxes. normally it is 1.25 percent, which is not in order. i wouldn't say that. so that's a huge tax, it is going to raise well over $12000000000.00, and that is what is needed to fund. so i think that it's a small tax relatively also there's been no doubt this has gone through with for johnson's government. he's not a government that has stood for taxes, he's not

a government, the conservative government that has been pro this, but his bike benches even that was sort of somewhat opposed to this, had passed it. so i think that the british public is for it and it's gone for ok. how does the business creed respond? i saw there's several or step up and said this is going to cost job. yeah. you know, i think they said that, but you know what? it's gone through and i don't think it's going to break them. no, i think that they they say that right now, but it's not going to be a back breakout. no. okay, well then the other thing that bore strong thinking around. so this is only a tax, mainly the majority of it, 50 percent going to come from 14 percent does show that there is an unequal wealth distribution in the u. k. like somewhat, what we see here in the u. s. is always going to be on even it's not, not, in fact actually what some people said is that you're handing this over to the label. get to the labor government. i don't think that you're going to see that. i think of it is 1.25 percent isn't going to break anybody wear out. as we said in the us, you know what to what the business is always do businesses always pass on expenses to the consumer. that always happens. but 1.25 percent scotty isn't going to break

anybody's back. and so you're not gonna find anything drastic. that's going to happen. i think actually a far greater concern in the u. k. right now, is the supply chain, the semiconductor issue and the closing of manufacturing plant for call manufacturing is far greater of an issue. and the labor shortage is a far greater issue. and the semiconductor issue is far greater of a problem than this 1.25 percent tax. well, there is no doubt that it health care is going to major costs. are governments across the world. is there any other countries right now who you can already see on the rise and are going to have to follow that same protocol and raise taxes all because of the health care expenses incurred for the past year and a half? i don't know, john. germany has seen major issues through this and that also because they took a lot of immigrants in so it might follow in germany and you may see the netherlands and maybe also sweden. it was basically the countries that took a lot of immigrants in there, probably the ones that are going to fall next. and i think that's where people have the problem with it. they're going to raise money if it's going to actually come back and help like teachers in the classroom. it says, are we, are we able to bring in other people that we can afford right now? barely on our own. i think that's a question when you, when you get to see

a lot of pressure here too. right. and that's, and that's where i think this is kind of showing right now. do you feel like that here in the u. s. a panoramic has helped or hurt that debate regarding, socialized, possible in the future. more government control of health care, socialized medicine. i mean, obviously we're going to have to do something here too because you've had so the hospital beds have been hospitals across the us have been absolutely inundated with this thought. the gracious pity of all. where is the discussion about immune systems where the discussion about eating properly? where was the discussion about eating less junk food? and where was the discussion about taking care of yourself? instead of talking about masks, why don't we talk about what you should eat and how you should take care of yourself? that is, the problem. the government isn't going to come in and say right, less junk food. and why don't you lower your weight because it's the obese people and the people that are high risk, the people haven't taken care of themselves and the government isn't stepping in to talk about that smoking in the factors of that many new years. maybe they only talk about not doing that kind of things. i mean, i solution, right?

that's all we'll get it. so we've got a few months. so, or thank you so much for setting light on this. when we return, can you pay off a criminal? not a california town is going to try, but will it actually work? will tell us to break the the way the us government is funded is through the issue of treasury bonds and they pay the interest on those bonds by collecting taxes. who all is, most of those bonds, virtually all those bonds, the top 110th the one percent. so the government simply becomes a pastor mechanism for people to pay money from their pockets through something called taxes that are just a fake leave that hides the transmission mechanism. of your money through the government, into those who own these bonds. i

the pacific leg around the world, expedition by 1000 miles round the clock in the dead calm in every country close by. it was like the crew cabins for food and water and to go to check those for us. also, little blue, liberal in this thing is got everybody locked down or almost no food, no water. but really, you know, i'm not sure somebody either stuck in the cove it,

you're living like the female of own. but in the 21st century i the u. k. government is threatening to withhold millions of pounds promised her friends in order to help confront the migrant crisis. united kingdom accuses paris not pulling its weight as a reckon number of people continued to arrive on u. k. beaches after leaving from northern france. paris and return call the accusation. a serious loss of trust. shot edward dusty has the story from london. if a child have french counterparts yet again, in the middle of a war of words, and it's all about the escalating crisis on the english channel, it comes as just yesterday alone. 800 people crossed the english channel,

one of the worlds of busiest shipping line. so today, pre capital hosted a meeting with the french interior minister off the pre to patel, threatened to cut the 54000000 pounds pledge, a funding pledge to assist in the french operations over across the channel, unless small boats intercepted now that didn't go down too well, with the french or socrates, many people in fact quite furious across the english channel, saying this is not a tool they signed up for the conditions of the sons. when you go, she did indeed to the british and it was never on condition of specific targets. that approach would translate into a serious loss of trust. and now we're called duration. well, it's been a bit of a tit for tat between the 2 nations for quite some time. now, the french have always said that this is a british problem and that they should be dealing with the issue out source. i. e. very countries in which refugees are headed towards you are particularly this

heightened time. as we know, the crisis and catastrophe in africa. stone has seen some millions of people being displaced, many of which are trying to head to the united kingdom. so the french are saying it's a british problem. the british is saying it's a french problem and they should actually be trying to intercept these, but, and turn them back to france. now, campaign is here in the united kingdom. they've long been saying the answer to all of this is neither what the french nope or to say, but actually to try and see safer and legal passages for asylum seekers so that they don't have to risk their lives trying to cross the english channel. but the u . k. government says it's working to target people smugglers to trying to alleviate the crisis. we remain determined to fix the broken asylum system and break the business model of people smugglers who put lives at risk and welcomed people through safe and legal routes. while they see a record, 13500 asylum seekers have crossed the english channel in small but it's just

a 1000 in the last 2 days. now the conservative m p 's here in the united kingdom back cool. and for the home secretary to even break international law and send all of the assign him see because of back to france, if they've traveled terror legally by boat. now france sense. if the u. k. does that, that will be a serious consequences. and then it's doing all it can to try and prevent these crossings. they say since january, they've intercepted 10000 and brought them back to the french shores, despite the french or thought his having to do with a raw amount of space to police on the beach is over in france. the fact is we've got 302400 coaches of shorter monitor every day and every night. and it's quite impossible to have police officers every 100 meters because of the length of the shore glass here in the united kingdom. the home secretary in particular has had some ra, a robust rhetoric over the years,

particularly aimed on asylum seekers headed to the united kingdom. in fact, pre patel has now got the reputation of the credit deville and the immigration system for what many people would argue as particularly hostile. we have to look at the beginning of her 10 years. she said the crossings would be an infrequent phenomenon. that last year she promised to shut off the route entirely. and this year she's pushing through an immigration bill making crossings illegal. meaning that anybody that does head to the united kingdom by boat could be seen to go even to be jailed in fact. but no matter how hostile pre to protect policies or comments are, it's not stopping asylum seekers headed to the united kingdom. it seems that the u . k. is still far safe haven other than countries that they are fleeing from. hence, this latest influx of asylum seekers here in the united kingdom, perhaps now the home secretary should change tact, considering the numbers are not coming down. any program in san francisco wants to

pay a small group of people not to commit crimes. critics call giving cash to criminals, but other say it's a path towards preventing gun violence. artie correspondent natasha sweet. explains for human rights commission in san francisco is launching a pilot programs that take effect next month. well heading out money really help quite crime and gun violence. in particular, like much of the country, san francisco's economy is still feeling the effects of the pandemic locked downs while a popular tourist destination. a lack of international travelers is impacting the golden city. but what about it safety? city leaders are closely i and gun violence and are promoting a small initiative to help combat it. the human rights commission is launching a pilot program. it will pay 10 people who want to change their lives. $300.00 a month, not to commit gun crimes, cheryl davis executive director of the san francisco human rights commission says

we're doing this to make sure that we don't have more senseless violence. davis says this group of people with a criminal path will essentially become community ambassadors. critics question the effectiveness of giving money to people to do the right thing. those for the program argue the method has worked in other cities like oakland. the programs are poorly funded through a mix of donations, state and federal fund of the pilot program is set to take effect in october. and these community ambassadors were poorly received their money in the form of a gift card. and that's sending over the quarterly be track reporting for news b choose and how to switch r t. that's all the time we ever today. so like always, we want to make sure that we provide you the information and the 360 view of all the top that you can actually make up your own opinion. on the top issues of the day that you and your colleagues are talking about. now i want to continue the conversation or follow me on twitter at friday and he's usa and vh. and for the show more about the the app for apple or android device until next time. thanks for

and killed the main goal of destroying terrorism and then was it achieved? yes. and no. okay. to essentially no longer exists good for us. but there are certainly other terrorist groups that are worse than having alternate realities to experience or even live in like say world war. those might be you know, especially during the and where you can go anywhere in the game world everywhere. choose the game that you want. any open world game, choose it, and you are now on a vacation in a place where you're like flying helicopters or you're, you're on beaches, you're, you're in a city drive, you know, what are the car you want your name and these, these are getaways. i have

transparency for the powerful pharmacy, for the kids about privacy, what people care about is power. julian, a son just become a symbol of the battles of barissi information is power. that's what's going on. and a huge struggle with governments and corporations who want to keep information secret and others who democratic rights should be pushed forward. and people have a right to know what to do. watch how it sounds, helped to shift the conversation around transparency and see what that battle has done to him. i feel like julian's life might be coming to an end. we are in a conflict situation with the largest and most powerful employer in such a situation. it's remarkable survive. it's an open secret that private military companies have been playing

a role in om complex worldwide. us government doesn't track a number of contractors that uses in places iraq or afghanistan, united states army and the military in general is so reliance on the private sector . i would call the dependency divide. we don't know who's the on the ground presence of these companies overseas. we just don't know the western private military companies can in their turn, use so called sub contractors from countries with trouble pass. the chances are quite good that they had also been soldiers. i think i was i was, as i drove profession, i drove it. he's worked with me for one senior court. it wouldn't that look what? no, no limit, maloney returning to be merciless, killing machines. now they fight and die in other people's was people carol,

lot one or a dead soldier or dead moraine shows up in this country and we started asking ourselves, why did they die? why do what were they fighting for? nobody bothers down to about the contractors. ah i me ah ah ah ah
