really, you know, i'm not sure somebody either stuck up in the cove it, you're living like the female of own, but in the 21st century i driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me the dares thing. we dare to ask oh right now, there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. it's profitable to sell

food that is fatty and sugary and faulty and addicted. not at the individual level. it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that never change, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment, ah, what's driving the obesity epidemic? it's corporate. me. ah, chinese war should have been plotted off the coast of alaska, and we will tell you a lie and how this raises the temperature on already sensitive water. the 3rd state a blanket appears in person this time in front of the senate, hearing on the chaos. skinner sandwich for all american response to the deadly attack outside the airport to ball. we will bring you expert analysis in highlights,

including moments like this. the guy, the biden administration drone, was he, an aide worker or an ices k operative. the administration is, of course, reviewing that, that strike. and i'm sure that a full assessable d will. before you don't know if it was an aide worker or an ices k operative, i can't speak to that and i can't speak to that in the setting in any event. so you know no or won't tell us. i don't, i don't know because we're reviewing it on the day. republicans are hoping california to vote, and governor devin knew. so my out of office is here and even president bite and decided to get on the campaign. we will bring you the last 24 hours leading up to the result of the 55th attempt to recall the governor of california. i'm going to use these stories and more on today's news use use right here on our to america. let's get started. ah,

thanks for joining now. we're going to start today show with new photos posted on the pentagon information service which reveal for chinese warships which were selling in the waters off of alaska. the for ships including the most advanced destroyer, sailed near the aleutian islands, august 29th through september 1st, but did not enter us territorial waters and were tracks a whole time by the us coast guard. so why did the pentagon post the photos and then take them down just hours after posting, and how does this play into the continued activity by the united states in the south china sea? while to help us with some answers, we bring in a former counterterrorism officer drew request for thank you so much for joining me on this. hey, thanks for having got a real temperamental area that we're dealing with the south china sea. we know that going into it. so now let's talk about this recent event that we're just now kind of finding out about chinese and say this could be seen as countermeasures against

the us military provocations that they've been doing on china's doorstep, supposedly all. and this name of fairness, so does the u, the u. s. as actually south china sea is international waters, china objects to that? so how far are both sides willing to continue to push in order to have their way? well, that is the question, right? i mean this is, this is a big deal. what we've seen that happen in the south trying to see what their strong, arming their way into saying this, lars, everything is ours and saying, well we've got freedom navigation, we're going to push back to let you know that we're here. we've got our presence. it's been a big deal and then you see what happened just at the end of this past month in august. and it does it bring things to a new level? obviously, no one wants international conflicts or a global war. but right now, you're seeing the chinese posture themselves and say, you know what, we see a weakness in dc and we're gonna push hard and as fast as we can to accomplish more . we saw this from, from big stayed enemy actors during the obama administration as well. where they

got as much accomplished as they could during those 8 years. they're doing it again now because they say weakness was and i think and speaking of their bar and ministration, while obama isn't all this actually appointed general miley, who just had just come out, talk about revelations that when he was chairman g for joint cheapest, s, which he is under president trump, that he actually secretly told his chinese counterpart in a phone call that he would give advance warning at the u. s. was ever going to attack, and i want to make sure i get this quote, right, if we're going to attack, i'm going to call you ahead of time. it's not going to be a surprise. i've tell you a little bit, a couple people are kind of shaking their heads this, you know, why would the us give china a heads up if they would wait, we're going to do that. and would that not increase the danger level for the us military involved or any operation they did considering how valuable the element of surprise is in these sorts of situations. 0100 percent. i mean this is not, this is not how we operate. this is never how we've operated. we don't negotiate with here. we don't tell our enemies what we're doing. we don't forecast in any

venue what we're going to do. we just do it. and we do that in the name of national security and protecting our interest. so this, this news has been huge a little bit, a lot of questions that we should all have for this current pentagon staff is national security staffed by the ministration and how they handle this. i'm probably, frankly, have handled everything. but this right here tells you a lot, and there's absolutely no reason whatsoever that we would do such a thing. and this has to be looked into further with, without a shadow of a doubt. because this brings, this should bring concern to every american, regardless of political affiliation. because like i said, the problem is, you know, you look back and having a road or to the japanese actually said, hey, by the way, we're going to attack pro harbor they sent it after they already attached pearl harbor. the cable actually came through this case. we would be giving them advance notice in the questions, you know, not only the chinese, but any of the situation were basically revealing where we were going to put them in the american military involved in little bit scary, back to the south china sea though. you know, they're usually the naval facility located dilution island took up more than 76000

acres, not a small place. it was actually used to surveil submarines during the cold war. so very key place president, clint did shut it down a part of his base shutdowns back in 1997. do you think that we will see that this us reopen is based considering the escalation of tension that's happening in the south china sea? well, that's a great question, scotty. i think look, there's been discussion about it. even with this current administration, what's gonna happen with it is tbd. and to be clear, there has been some operation still happening there training, training, and otherwise that's occurred at that base since it was officially closed down for its intended purpose. it's, but i think the answer is yes, it shouldn't be opened. we shouldn't be taking a stronger national security posture. we shouldn't be protecting our shorelines and our american people in our interests. the question is, if it's done, is it being done for the right reasons and not just or some other, whether that you know, what passed the bank accounts with the new defense contract? i don't know. i all believe it when i see it. if it's actually been opened,

but when it, if it is in fact open, i think there's a whole litany of other questions that need to be asked about why and what the intended purpose is are. and are we actually going to use it for what it was originally intended for? and the question that i hope would be asked beforehand before we say ourselves involved again in another long term situation, always ready to talk to jury, thanks for joining me. now for the 2nd straight day us secretary of state anthony blinking is answering to lawmakers over the evacuation out of afghanistan, the secretary of lincoln double down today center. the us intelligence committee did not foresee how quickly the taliban will take over afghanistan. but your guys, do you have reports from co bull on one topic, not getting as much attention. what wasn't touched upon in the hearing that much was the, the humanitarian situation here and i've got to stop, which is to put it again disaster because there is, there is of the prospect of collapsing on the political front of the social,

especially on the humanitarian fraud. hunger, we're talking about trust the country you in itself has said that more than 10000000 ask as a courtesy population, the pedagogy about a terry and 8th and they have no assurance that tomorrow they'll be able to eat and bearing that in my taliban. and both the taliban and the world food program have said that food stop positive galveston will run out by the end of september. that something is done. i mean, you, you take a walk down the street here and in double duty. louis as well as teachers, professors begging for food because they haven't been paid in months because government accounts have been froze in today. actually, especially in the west and the taliban has nothing to pay them. wait, well, i want to go get his take on the test for a re bring in political salton a j brian or j j. thank you so much for joining me on this. and even watching these testimonies from blink and i believe or not people have jobs,

majority of folks have not been able to watch the last 2 days. that's why i bring people like yourself on to tell us if there was anything new that we actually learned from lincoln's testimony that we have not already heard stated from the bite administration and talking points at this stage. well, i think whatever village is from is missing it is because everything i've heard from the current secretary state does not make any sense. it sounds like he's offended the indefensible. even a lot of the people that supported by it and agree that this withdrawal has been a complete disaster. we've had thousands of americans trillion to dollars to decades wasted for 9. if they were going to withdraw from the country, which they had other options, they could have kept a couple 1000 troops as advisors, like the military strategist recommended. but if they were due to withdraw, they could have done it better way. instead we have a disaster. yes, they got a lot of people out. we don't know all those people are, but there's a lot of people who are dead or will die,

answered the taliban because we left them defending themselves. so this undermines american credibility and i'm really discuss it with. ready this administration situation, well, the blame game is starting to happen and like you point out that they've been going on for 20 years, i do believe both sides of the i'll do share some of the blame in it. but the majority of the democrats last today, especially today, took this line and this was all president trump's fault because he said the initial deadline, i find it funny because they've kind of gotten rid of everything else trunk did. but this one they're going to stick with, do they have a point, however, our republicans properly countering and pushing back though, on this point the trump, this is all trump's fault. well, who knows? who would have happened if trump or stone office, but the fact that they're even playing this blame game. there might have been a deal. there might have been a plan to get out now. but you are in charge now you can pass the blame to someone doesn't have power. this is a terrorist organization at this deal was made with for better or worse. so we could have done something differently than we start to a hard deadline that

a group that has been causing how to chaos and lead to 2 years of non stop war made us. and now we see everything they're doing, having a terrorist minister in their government, someone who's committed suicide bombings, kill us, and people. that's the kind of regime we have here. so we are probably talking about this. i don't know. i think they have a point. but at the same time, you know, this whole situation just been a complete disaster. and you know, i like to say, i'm proud to be an american. this makes me disgusted. that's what being an american stands for. and it's, it's disgrace. well, and that's the thing that, you know, multiple things i've listening test for the blink and i said, and both the house test ready. i can honestly just following the story, since the very beginning of the past month, i can say that's false, that's false. you know, we talked about the equipment not working conditions. we see it going down the streets of iran. americans were not left behind. well, we know that they were, and some centers actually from both sides of the aisle, actually some harsh words for him to say, tell me what you think a j after this. let me turn to the focus of today's hearing, mr. secretary,

the execution of the u. s withdraw was clearly and fatally flawed. did that discussion ever come up in terms of maybe that would be a good idea leading all that equipment behind as we bug out of afghanistan. that assessment came in july, much of the equipment. and again, i'll defer to my colleagues at the pentagon who are more expert in this than i am. so i want to ask you, have you submitted your resignation regarding this issue? i have not just like jimmy carter owns the disaster of the iran hostage crisis. you own this and yet he really did not own it in the last 48 hours of his testimony . why do you think they're blank and not be aggressively fact checked by the majority of the press and others were watching this? and what could that mean actually for future military operations that he decides to get to the americans then? i mean, we're only and not even near one yet this administration. well, sadly,

i think this shows that the press always has double standards. in some cases they are calm and now i'm not for everything, but by and large, they're getting a free pass on this. we know they have an agenda for the most part. not everyone ask the question you do unfortunately, but we don't have a media like we used to back nationally meant something. so i think this is undermined the american credibility. we have our allies overseas talking about how we, especially in the u. k. there was a speech by mt, they're saying how horribly the administration of hamlet and that's our oldest now, and they're talking about how poorly we've done this. so america has to lead what we've shown is we will abandon you your allies. we will give up, we will surrender the terrorists, that should not be what this country stands for. and frankly, it could signal the end of the us as a superpower. this sort of policy we're sending and in a country like china couldn't take notice of that. and that could be the trends for the future. so it's unsettling. and i'm really concerned right. well, a jack completely can are said a, you know, it's interesting during this conversation blank and actually said we consulted with

nato. we told i'm going but wait a minute, you already have the leaders of both of you. k, france, germany all coming out and saying this is a disaster. we would not want to be a part of this. they are making sure that america, rightfully so, takes a lot of the heat for the last 6 weeks. and what's happened in that country? always good to talk with you. thank you so much. now when you return, governor newsome's name might be on the ballot. but why does the election have a greater meaning regardless of the outcome? we will debate after the break the ah, the ah . ah.

the the victory could be made, california voters had the chance to remove the 1st term, democratic governor gavin newsome from office. but will it happen in this blue state or the correspond? natasha suite has more from los angeles. the entire country has

a close eye on california today as the recall election is happening with over 5ww ballots already return. both supporters and opponents of governor gavin knew some are show we not. we vote to recall this man vote yes when the recall. yeah, larry elder is just one of several contenders. looking to replace gavin newsom as governor if is recalled from office. this decision is not as red and blue as it seems. it's not just republicans who are dissatisfied with the governor's term criticism of newsome seem to grow by the way, can handle the pandemic in the state. in addition to keeping small business is closed down longer than the rest of the country. you may also recall the scandal that occurred after newsome told california to wear a mask in between bites while dining outside. he was and spotted at an extravagant restaurant in the bay area with a group of friends not wearing a mask. while he did on up to it, support for him would never be the same either. we both know on this recall or in a matter of weeks. the next governor of the state of california is larry newsome

spot is so fragile that even the president came to the west to encourage people to vote no on the recall. before stopping in long beach, california body was faced with over 1000 protesters in idaho. the eyes of the nation is not hyperbole, the sean california because the decision you're about to make is going to happen. that's going to have a huge impact on california has going to reverberate around the nation. and quite frankly, not a joke around the world. larry elder came to attack newsome's policies, announcing the states issues have become worse under his rain. so we've got rising crime, writing homelessness and outrageous rise. the cost of living, declining the school standards. we now have 5 seasons here in california. the 5th one is the fire season and that's because of the poor management of our for us even says newsome could have done more to help with california is excessive drought.

we're having a water shortage here in california. we have an added to our water infrastructure in about 40 or 50 years when the state was habit size, but in long beach monday knew some attempted to derail elder's proposal. to ward off with more than 5000000 early balance cast out of the 22000000 centre registered voters in the states. what are the chances of a democratic governor actually getting recalls in the recall? the reason why this is such a unique position, need cartoony for republicans, is that they don't have to win 50 percent of about 50 percent plus one. they just have to win just a sliver. it's all about whether newsome is going to be called and there are 2 separate questions on the ballot. there are $46.00 candidates looking to replace new, some $24.00 of those republicans now with president biden and town. there is no doubt this election will have a major impact. but newsome isn't the only one with powerful supporters. elder was

also joined by the former actress rose mcgowan, now she claims that newsome's wife tried to persuade her to not go public with information regarding the sexual misconduct of harvey weinstein back in 2017 reporting for news. use hughes and how she sweeps our tea stories. let's get the $360.00 view of the california recall and bring in a syndicated columnist reuben of art and radio show host brock. laura, thank you so much for joining me. joining me. thank you. thank you. ok. just start with you for art with realistically, like republicans feel like they could win in a state where honestly they are out. number 221. yeah, i think i think we can win and we have a very good shot at winning. so myers is not rep and cheating involved. that is the ultimate condition that we have to. we have to make up. the fact is that it's a lot of the recall those, the petition, we're actually democrats who are seeking to oust newsome. they bear with it just as much as republicans are, and understandably so they have is also going to allow the schools they have to

deal with the homelessness. they have to deal with crime when they see it. so stay in their face. it's very similar to my mind. that's what happened in new york city with governor start with mayor giuliani, who got such a great simply set up with the situation the california is very upset up right now . the fact that we have to become the 1st place in the fact that there is going to be a very realistic chance the system will be recall. that's the thing reuben, you know, you look at 6 months ago a year ago. obviously when their hypocrisy was being shown, with governor knew some actually eating dinner out with friends, but everybody else is being locked at home. that was then i get the anger on both sides. but recently he's done some amazing things like, oh, i don't know a lot of school to open up really pushing all of the limitations that he'd put on. he's even sending checks, refund checks, or stimulus checks that are just out of california budget. so do you still feel that discourse in the streets of california today that you might have felt in 6 months ago when this kind of movement started started?

yeah, the answer is no. i'm. i'm someone who wrote for gavin newsome last time around 2018. i had nothing to do with the republican party in california, still don't. and yet i supported this recall, right. i'm pro recall, but like a lot of california, i don't like what's behind door number 2. and that's the california republican alternatives. and i think for gavin newsome has proven again, is he, he has a lousy leader. he is a lousy governor, but he's a great campaigner. he's great at politicking, and he has outmaneuvered out maps and outwitted the california republicans who really are the gang that can't shoot straight. i would disagree brock on one thing . i don't think there's any chance at all. the for wisdom is probably true. gavin newsome will succeed today. he'll be back this recall. i'm not saying he deserves to the republican party, really bundle the execution of this campaign against it. and that's what i want to bring up, because sometimes republicans can be known for not being too smart to give strategy regard selections because they split their vote amongst multiple candidates. one of the 24 republicans, really 5 main ones that got a lot of attention. so did you,

do you think that the fact that there were 5 main candidates on the ballot help or hurt the mission if there was just one person running again? do some, do you think would be a better situation for the republicans going into election day and certainly would be a little bit better. but it turns out i really do think this is a binary election and even gap newsome seems to understand this. he said, if you do recall me, you're going to have a larry elder as the governor, larry elder is for all purposes the choice for governor, at least among the republicans, and certainly among those who are fighting against a nuisance. i think larry elder is a fantastic candidate. i disagreed that he's not a good campaigner with your other my other guess year. i think he's fantastic. i happened to know larry elder, he's a good friend of mine and i think he's almost exactly the right issues. he's speaking to the issues that the people are very concerned about and the very thing that caused them to seek a recall 1st place. we're going to windows, i feel talking about it and i feel it's very much like the breaks it ceiling where

we thought that was going to lose. but sure enough one that might be very well the situation here. ok, well let's look over though to brocky, to ruben's point at this point, i mean good to room. and to brock's point, president biden came in at the end and campaigned. now he tweeted even out today. so do you think that either he was coming in because of desperation that he said ok, i need to get some push or be coming in to say i want to take claim because i know he's going to win over well, and i just want to show the foreshadowing and 2022 of how popular democrats still are with the people, which one was it. it caused biden to go to california a ladder much more the latter than the former. he knows that gavin newson has this when well in hand, he wants to be able to ride the train in. i think it's clear if you see the way they read each other on stage, the big untold secret godaddy. democrats don't. like gavin newsome joe biden doesn't like got a new some nobody like you have a new. he has arrogant and ignorant and that is

a bad combination. and so i think that what you see from call them a hair coming harris to joe biden, to many other people in california, and elected officials, who are democrats. there is no love for gavin newsome and i don't think that joe biden has fond of you have a nice them either. that was cleared the way the cold way in which they greeted each other. but i do think that he felt it was an obligation on his part as president to come in to make an appearance, you know, was a lackluster speech. we've barely coherent as president by tends to be many cases. but at the end of the day, given you some house, i think this victory well in hand. i blurry elder, the friend of mine have done it for 27 years. i think a lot of him, but it takes a lot. it takes a lot to be able to never run for office and all the time you're running for governor. i mean, give politicians and both party a little bit of credit be the republican or democrat. there is a game here. and the people who've been doing it for a long time, i gather, nuisance and doing it for 30 years. i mean, you're going to be better at it, certainly than some novice and off the street. but get some novice out the 3 day get elected in 2016 nissan novice for the business span. non politician. i think

that's what all those politicians look like. that kind of gives them that hope that dream on both sides the aisle. that being said, i'm going to give you probably the last word to you on this one, brock bigger picture, regardless. they win or not. do you think that this is actually going to be something if, let's say gavin's able to hold his see, the democrats are going to go into 2022 and go look, see we still has momentum. republicans, they're not as popular as they make it out to be. do you think this is actually going to be used to be more of kind of a to push both sides going into 2020 to the spring board? almost. yeah, i think that's a great point. scotty and i do think it's going to be yours to the fact that you are a governor and you've been sought after for a recall. that's a big deal and it really shows a lot of space and it's going to cripple him as he move sword for, for his own reelection as the case may be. i do think it's a big a problem, but more to my fellow guess a point. one thing that we're forgetting is also that larry elder, and this is the good thing we're forgetting about it in a sense,

is african american. and that is going to, in your, to the benefit of the republicans, especially it's larry elder, because the black boat will consider that strongly to have the possibility of the 1st black governor, california. to say nothing of the fact that he's addressing the issues as he really needs. ready to i do think he's going to win, i think will be surprised. well, that he's already sent out his every campaigns already sent out kind of, here's where i'm going to be. make sure you join for all celebrating. i do actually have a quick, 30 seconds. i'm gonna let you have one more quick comment if you have, reuben will gavin nation change? let's say you back in august, will you see his politics change the remainder of his term or is he done? i do not believe i do not believe so. i mean, he has arrogance. he doesn't believe he's done anything wrong. he lives in his own world, and he really does not understand. he didn't get the message he should come forward tonight. say, i hear you. i made mistakes. i'll do better. but that's not given. newsome right? yeah. and there are in for you. do you brock, your feeling if he doesn't win? i think he's exactly right. i don't, i think that's what he should be doing. you're saying that i learn my lesson just

like you said and but he will learn a lesson and that he'll feel more involved in the you know, the whole down on the screen all the next re election hall leticia and learn lessons. that's funny guys to keep up with that. thank you so much for joining. good luck today. that's all the time we have to show. thanks for watching continued conversation on a twitter at scott and hughes down the portable dot tv app for your apple android phone. later, ah, ah, i have often said transparency for the powerful machine for the kids about privacy . what people care about is power tuning and sons has become a symbol of the battles of brevity. 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 a sounds helped to shift the conversation around transparency and see what that battle has done to him. i feel like julian might be coming to an end. we are in a conference situation with the largest and most powerful employer in such a situation. it's remarkable when i was wrong, when i was just on the road, yes. to see out the thing because after an engagement equals the trail, when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground.

join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business, i'm show business. i'll see you then in the breaking news and i'll tell you natural gas prices to an old time record in europe standing currently at $950.00 per 1000 cubic meters. barking fears of a winter energy crisis. also ahead you know, full especially to be before you don't know if it was an aide worker or an ice is a operative. i can't speak to that and i can't speak that in the setting in any less. so you don't know or won't tell us. i don't, i don't know because we're reviewing in the us secretary of state of mit. he doesn't know whether an aid worker was mistaken. be killed in a drug strike in afghanistan last monday.
