a few days ago, professor of the university of columbia was published and he said, we were not in the cold war, was russia. he said, we are in a hot war with russia and meta is fighting russia in ukraine. these convey confessions, ah, quite old fears. we are on the surface level. and it is bizarre to see various attempts to deny that. and president, milan of each of croatia recently sad that it was nato's war. he was frank and honest when his sad that a few weeks ago, henry kissinger m, the full colon upon the world to colon bonita to make you craner and not a member. and one of his most recent article, he said that what it was going on in ukraine was a clash and competition between 2 nuclear powers short control over these territory . and i believe it is quite clear what this was all about. that is why when our western partners film at the mouse trying to prove that they have nothing to do with that, they only try to help you cray, now overcome aggression and restore its territorial integrity. they are not being entirely truthful. the amount of the, our military support testify that

. >> host: i want to read a quote from nicole hammer of columbia university, you 've probably seen this but i want your response. the "the tuttle twins" and regularly hawked by glenn beck, range 2 graphic novels to economics curriculum guides. they join a growing array of conservative children's literature and she goes on to say these books are to fight with the right suit of liberal indoctrination some indoctrination of their own. >> i believe this was the cnn op-ed. we sold over 100,000 books, it was great for business. i encouraged her to write a sequel and publish another one, it was very good for business, but to the merit of her argument, that article in particular was trying to claim, the title was the right wing children's education complex is upon us. the premise of her article is we on the right are responding to nothing, that there is in fact no left-wing liberal indoctrination, nothing to see here, therefore you guys on the right are not needed and you're responding to nothing, that's a false premise. it is an unfair criticism to suggest there's nothing on the so-called left

you know, we've heard jeffrey sachs, lead prominent economist out of columbia university, criticizing this narrative, most recently the united states as overthrown dozens of governments. it definitely contributed to the overthrow of you on a coach. and i know this from the inside, not just from the outside, so i just want to be clear, i would, i know from top people involved in these issues. what i'm discussing right now. now the soros document not only matches the situation where kiev is, having us weapons piled into it and being supplied with weapons by the united states. it also matches that the government of poland is very war mongering and hostile to russia. and furthermore, if you look at the situation, there are some estimates that the ukrainian casualty rate it, we may have seen over a 100000 debt. so there been some very heavy losses and these losses gas that ukraine is incurring. they are being carried out and people are dying to serve nato goal. yeah, has recently admitted this, this is what's been said, shouldn't you, can you lose any mind? so today we occuring out nature'

i'm thinking of a recent paper done by people from the university of pennsylvania, morgan williams at columbia, that look at the impact of policing on crime. for everyone officer hired, you will invade 0.1 homicides a year. one homicide a year for every 10 officers hired and the effects are twice as large in the black community as in the white community when they are talking about the benefit of crime reduction. we have a massive reduction of homicide in this country and police say incarceration -- policing and incarceration had in massive impact. this only added less to the average life expectancy of white mid-america. this is a balance and complex conversation, you can't just look at one side of the ledger. if you have a >> c-span's washington journal. every day we take your calls on the air on the news of the day i discussed policy issues that impact you. thursday morning, the education proposals and health related policy goals outlined in the commitment to america plan, first with frederick hess, senior pella -- senior fellow, and then with the health pan executive director. on the washing

but jeffrey stack of columbia university . he recently came forward and said that's not the case, the united states as overthrown dozens of governments. it definitely contributed to the overthrow of yanna ko bitch. and i know this from the inside, not just from the outside. so i just want to be clear, i will bid, i know from top people involved in these issues is what i'm discussing right now. now the soros document not only matches the situation where kia is having you as weapons piled into it and being supplied with weapons by the united states. it also matches that the government of poland is very war mongering and hostile to russia. and furthermore, if you look at the situation, there are some estimates that the ukrainian casualty rate it, we may have seen over a 100000 dan. they are being carried out and people are dying to serve nato goal and yet has recently admitted. this is what been said. shouldn't krajina as the mindful today we occurring out nato's mission without the loss of their blood with but with the loss of ou
