schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, alzheimer's, parkinson's, children are beginning to understand schizophrenias, part of your brain lights up when you generate voices. we talked to ourselves. these people are unaware of the fact the left part of the brain is generating the voices. the conscious brain but not understand what the left part of the brain is generating and that is what we call madness. we can now quantify what madness is. different parts of the brain don't talk to each other in the brain generates imaginary voices. >> host: you talk about the fact that your mother suffered from alzheimer's. >> my mother dying of alzheimer's disease, now we have the ability to record memories and that is what the pentagon is looking at this very seriously because of a brain injured veteran, the wounded warriors in afghanistan and even set a timetable, four years. there has to be some kind of device from memory enhancement and this was once considered science fiction. only last year the first animal tests were done on mice recording memories but this could also open up a can of worms. it can implant

that schizophrenia. your concern about costs and cutting costs but not when it is jailing a publisher i think it's schizophrenia when your state -- give power back to the states but no, it comes to them having passing laws concerning marijuana. then you not first dates initiatives and states priorities. and i think there's a certain schizophrenia for a party that talks about civil liberties but not when it comes to personal liberties on this subject. so sometimes politics makes strange bedfellows, and whether they're in the same bed as mcmurphy or not is another issue to be discussed. mr. botticelli, your hands are tied on schedule one, but it is ludicrous, absurd, crazy to have marijuana in the same level as heroin. asked the late philip seymour hoffman, if you could. nobody dies from marijuana. people die from heroin. and every second that we spend in this country trying to enforce marijuana laws is a second that we're not enforcing heroin laws. and heroin and meth are the two drugs that are ravaging o

how schizophrenia can it really get how serious could this get because if russia doesn't pay this fifty billion dollars what happens then because as it seizes you right richard which could happen yes but that sounds like a disaster what i think more than likely will be happening is they're going to try to make as much as there's information warfare going on there to try to make russia seem to be the new rogue state so to speak i mean as you see with the tragedy with m.h. seventeen in ukraine they're really trying to make russia seem to be a state sponsor of terrorism we're not saying it but it's all brought in for a look at all the tabloids we look at even saw formerly respected. information as a two shot like washington post of one will and they're really trying to push this narrative so the idea is to isolate russia and to make people not want to engage it but what happened is this is isolating the west from the russian market russia is moving very rapidly the east everyone talks about an american pivot to asia where we see what's been very successful economical what china be recogniz

mental illness like severe depression or psychosis and they are wandering around like someone with schizophrenia, hallucinating and not able to care for themselves, we still have the rules that says no one can talk about it. it is time that we recognize that mental illness is a brain disease. in a case like robin williams, there is speculation of what role parkinson's disease have. does are reasonable questions. someone with chronic illness is .lso were subject to depression let's keep in mind that with mr. williams or others, this is not just the blues. this is not just someone being sad. this is a place where it is so pervasive. an act ofow in desperation. they are trying to end the sadness. they are no longer able to think straight. measures we use with each other when you're down in the dumps, having a bad time, it is different for someone with this kind of breakdown in the inability to think for themselves. that is where our bill will step in and say we want to help people, we do not want to see them suicidal, one of the 40,000 suicides in this country last year, one of the million attempts

there is a strange duality, a schizophrenia that they're showing this dark, brutal side, but they're also trying to show, at least as they might see it, a more humane side to western audiences. we're not going to buy that as americans, but for people who are potentially sympathetic or fence-sitters, seeing those images can actually be appeal. >> sreenivasan: philip smyth, it seems in the past it was guys holding machine guns in the backdrop of a video.

has taken a different approach in theory just because we have a schizophrenia policy you know the u.s. has long held contradict dring allies and contradicting beliefs about alliances in the middle east one question in terms of the surveillance in syria is are we doing actual surveillance for the purpose of gathering intelligence or are we actually doing target acquisition i served in northern iraq in two thousand and four with the u.s. army as an intel analyst and i know a little bit about that target acquisition i was responsible for doing some of that and it's not a science is definitely not a science so we have to wonder how long will this action take place before the chances of let's say bomb. innocent iraqi civilians or innocent syrian civilians happens and then what will we do right now just a moment ago you did mention that the obama administration. will seek their approval of congress of course to go forward with anything now the administration has actually said that they won't guarantee that they will seek congress's approval to move forward with with maybe some air strikes i

. >> caller: i have a son with schizophrenia and he is cured through more a bowl connection. i am wondering if more alzheimer's -- it must take years and years to develop and i believe if you look at russell lock who is a neuro surgeon who is retired. he believes it is just a body burden of neuro toxins that we take in through, you know, air and pollution and our food and gmo and things like that. and the earlier one ingest these things a person's epigenetics change and genes switch on and off. if you get that condition early enough before you have children then you pass that on to your children. i guess my bottom line is you need to eat well and take care of yourself in the early stages of your life. i believe that is why we are having growth in all of these neuro logical diseases. >> host: abigail jones? >> guest: thank you for calling in. one of the things doctors talked to me about is what is good for your heart is also good for your brain. a healthy diet. getting regular exercise. doing mental exercise. social engagement and these are all things done throughout your life

now, i spoke to mothers who called the police because their child has schizophrenia and was off their meds, and the police came and killed their child. they say what do you do when you call the police for perfection and the police officer killed your child? this is a particularly painful problem. the police -- these communities wnat police. they want police to protect them. they want police to deal with a tiny,s, which are tiny percentage of the population of even the poorest neighborhoods. 1% to 5% at the most. but what police do because of the reward system is they come in and they look for drugs. because they do better on television to show that they found a big cache of drugs and arrested a bunch of drug dealers than if they went in there to work, to protect the community .rom violent predators so there are relationships between these things. the problem is not liberal programs. the problem is the complete dismantling of gun control. the problem is the way in which police behave in these futile drug war that has led to over 2 million people in prison, the most thele in prison in c
