you will have a sign around your liberal, unpatriotic, bolshevik. there are no excuses by way of explanation. we lost our guts in many ways. the question needs to be asked, but this train is rolling and we are going to war. every journalists do it. it was palpable but nobody wanted to talk about it. a certain amount of cowardice. if you question us too much, if you don't get on board this invasion train, you are going to wind up metaphorically, like in south africa when the worst of the south african civil war was underway, they would put a earning tire around people's net. , if not that sign marking you as an unpatriotic person, you are going to have this burning tire put around you. this is not by way of excuse. it is by way of explanation with the press, noting there were some exceptions said the president of the united states it's about stopping possible nuclear war or chemical warfare. there was talk about being tied into al qaeda which was also untrue. lost ourg said if we guts or if you like the spine metaphor better, when the president of th

i'm sorry for sounding so unpatriotic, but the snake had its hands in things being unpatriotic.iptures teach you to reap what you sow but it hurts though. if she doesn't change her ways, this great nation will fall like the beast written in revelations. >> while abdullah contemplates the moral choices of a nation, antwan rivers recently had to choose between keeping his hair extensions and long nails and being confined to protective custody unit. >> protective custody, i can't go there. >> until you cut the nails and take the hair off, you have to go to a1b. i can't send you to general population with the nails and hair on. >> rivers has made his choice and is now in one of the far less restrictive general population units. >> i mean, i feel plain. i don't feel like me. i feel like me because this is how i am born, but like i don't feel as pretty as if i was -- as i was when i came in or when i was out on the street. >> turn around, face me. open your mouth, lift your tongue up. >> rivers has had numerous stays at the jail and says being openly gay has never caused him a problem

other the obligation to support the troops is confused with supporting the war and that could be unpatriotic. >> it seems to me that their primary obligation is to demand the troops be used wisely and not be subjected to abuse and there is no greater abuse bin to commit soldiers to go fight in unnecessary wars and i believe unnecessary and mismanaged our terms apply to those interventions we have undertaken. >> you served in the military and a scholar of military history do you feel there is a change between the civilian military relationship? >> an excellent question there is of a definition of the relationship between the policy makers and senior military officers we tend to take for granted that relationship is positive the principle of civilian control is honored i think it is not with mutual manipulation but think back to the relationship of donald rumsfeld of the joint chiefs of staff to the iraq invasion and it is clear that rumsfeld quite intentionally sought to marginalize the jaycee s because he did not like the advice they were giving. >> indeed it was some part of the officer cor

when the tinker students wore armbands in 1965, mainstream public opinion regarded opposition as unpatriotic if not treason. as i noted, it was not on school -- was not unreasonable for fearing that the armbands might start an argument or cause a disturbance. nevertheless, the tinker court insisted that under the constitution we must take that risk. it is this sort of hazardous freedom, this kind of openness and of the independence and vigour of american who is grew up and live in this relatively permissive society. [laughter] >> i've lost something here. i don't know why. [laughter] >> you may not remember what i say but you'll remember the event. [laughter] >> it seems to me that protecting this openness is no less important on campus than elsewhere in society for even in high school a rule that permits only one pointed view to be expressed is less likely to produce correct answers than open discussion of countervialing views. ironically on the same day that the chief justice announced the decision upholding viewpoint-based regulation of student speech in morris, he also announced the judg

. >> to criticize the war you can be identified as being unpatriotic. >> and i would-- it seems to me that's the primary obligation when it comes to supporting the troops is to demand that the troops be used prudently and wisely. to insist that the troops not be subjected to abuse. there is no greater abuse van to commit american soldiers to go fight in unnecessary wars or wars that have been mismanaged and i believe that unnecessary and mismanaged, those are terms that very much apply to quite a number of the military interventions we have undertaken in the greater middle east over the last three plus decades. >> you served in the military. you have been a scholar of military history. do you feel that there is a negative change in a sense between the civilian military relationship? >> well, it's an excellent question and one that gets far too little attention. what i think absolute-- civil military relations, one definition is the relationship between the seniors civilian policymakers and the senior military officers. we tend to take it for granted that that relationship is a positiv

now this may seem unpatriotic at that moment to be lost in her space, but i dare any of you male or female not to be spellbound by the world's largest glute, it's the headquarters for hind quarters, her butt is so big she has smaller butts orbiting around it. a spiritual ball of hot plasma that supports all life or at least her miserable family. now, there were other asses in the room, but to kim's credit, hers did not talk. now, if you're not familiar with this dinner it's a self-indulgent affair where the president invites people to sit with him. the president sits, and then he invites those to sit with him like clooney, there you go, adorable. now, some of them crawl over themselves to get celebrities with selfies, or worse, the reality actors who eat their pets in the dark, but i love it. i hate/love it. it's the media version of the runs, unappealing in theory, but enjoyable if you just let yourself go. you know what we're talking about here. so we'll watch it the right way together in a studio 200 miles away. it's a thing you should take in afar, like mamma mia, this dinner could be

here, the protest and the charges laid against the students as being unpatriotic, agent orange has gonen to be one of the worst anders of those great men women who served. david: one of the connections and ironies of the two completely different worlds. the antiwar and what was going in vietnam. they are about the same thing. one of the connections that is both tragic and meaningful is here were the students protesting holding a civil disobedience sit in and many of the soldiers who survived the battle i wrote about over the last 10 years have been dying of different bladder cancers. one after another all attribute to that in vietnam in the area that was overloaded. interested in taking a moment to talk about why there was such a passionate resistance to the war and to examine what i will call four wellsprings of this. it is important. to get the history right. escape -- wewe skate past things. we jump over it. i want to ask our panelists to respond to four issues. all of these fall under the heading of, why are we here? this beautiful video put together, a tape of president johnson exp

this: which deals fit into -- they've been called unpatriotic by jack lew and others. ralph: we have a strong and appropriate populist revolt against the off shoring of jobs. basic other hand, the economics of employment going to where it is most cheaply provided and productive is very, very difficult to do. this is less about where jobs are located than it is about headquarters and taxes. jon: hold that thought. stick with us. david: next, we look at what is driving deals and health care. -- in health care. i will be talking with less moonves about their earnings at cbs. ♪ vonnie: you are watching "bloomberg ." the largest auto recall ever is about to get bigger. questions about the survival of takata. takata is in talks with u.s. regulators, leading to the recall of millions more vehicles. s plans to sell a .truggling hardware business aeropostale has filed for bankruptcy protection. shut manyxpected to of their stores while looking for a buyer. david: let's turn to deals and health care. the $40 billion in new health care a deals -- new health care deals announc

with, wei was there weren't there because we were .atriots you talk about patriotism, it was unpatrioticot to be there. ,ury a few of the guys i know wanted to up who were spread democracy, they were just there to do what their government told them they should do. time, and get themselves in her buddies home. that was most of my experience, just bringing people home. and once we got back, we cannot talk about it. host: i appreciate you talking about it with us on "washington journal." we also have a line for family members of veterans. stewart is on that line from virginia. good morning. caller: good morning. i got a couple of good stories for you. number one, i am a bet, but i did not want to call on the vietnam vet's line. i have two friends that did. air trafficwas an controller. when he came back, landed in los angeles and was walking, and somebody got in his face and asked him how many babies did you kill? and nine -- my wife and i have a friend that has been a friend for 20 years. she lost a brother in vietnam. he drowned. her brother, this was a dude, a big dude, so they put him o

i don't think they're unpatriotic.ly seeing it on the democratic side. and the democrats have been doing this longer than the republicans. i think they've been playing the race card for a very long time, but i don't like to see people on the conservative side going there, too. i don't like to see demonizing immigrants, i don't like to see the fact that, you know, trump likes to lump everybody together. you know, when he talked in his opening about mexicans, he wasn't talking about illegal immigrants, he said mexicans are rapists or criminals. >> he would say because they are the ones on our border, and he says that border has to be reinforced. his argument was, i'm not politically correct, i'm just worried about america's safety. but we'll see if there is some tactic behind that. >> and if he's worried about america's safety, look at the facts, and the facts are mexican-born men are less likely to commit violent crimes than american-born men. they have crime rates for violent crimes about the same rates as whites do. a

and interestingly, it's a very deeply unpatriotic thing to do.to voters to have people talk like that, you'll never have a national conversation about anything. >> sebastian, you've been such a great advocate for vets and have the respect of so many vets because you were over there with them for so long. we just played that story from bob mcdonald at the v.a. where he compared the wait lines at the v.a. to disneyland. putting that comment aside, where are we so bad at taking care of these guys. why isn't that more of a national priority? >> bureaucracies are inherrantly cumbersome and malfunctioning and inefficient. it's in keeping with every other bureaucracy the country runs. that said, i think we should pay special attention to veterans because they did do something extraordinary for the country. a lack of political will, political infighting. you know, you're asking me to explain the problems in government. that's a long conversation. >> for a government and for politicians who love to wear flag pins and tie yellow ribbons around their office

arm bands in 1965, mainstream public opinion regarded opposition to the vietnam war as, quote, unpatrioticif not treason, unquote. as i noted in my morris dissent, the des moines school district was not unreasonable for fearing that the arm bands might start an argument or cause a disturbance. nevertheless, the tinker court insisted that under the constitution, we must take that risk. it is this sort of hazardous freedom, this kind of openness, that is the base of our national strength and of the independence and vigor of americans who grew up -- who grow up and live in this rell toughly permissive often dis. disputatious society. i've lost something here. i don't know what. okay. oh. you may not remember what i say, but you'll remember the event. it seems to me that protecting this openness is no less important on campus than elsewhere in society. for even in high school a rule that permits only one point of view to be expressed is less likely to produce correct answers than the open discussion of countervailing views. ironically on the same day that the chief justice announced the decisi

i think that is unpatriotic. you need to deal with it, lobby congress, try to figure it out and get it fixed. but to leave, i think the american people should take advantage. and you know, i myself perm personally go out and pay a premium for a product because i know it was made here in america. i wanted to add one other thing about inversion. you know, it is just -- it is just wrong. just wrong. lastly, the growth rate, you quoted 3.4% would be great. what would we be degreeigrowing producing to get 3.4%? one of the biggest differences between the republicans and democrats is one party doesn't believe in climate change and one does. i like committal even if you don't believe it you should believe in efficiency. we should have solar panels on every structure in this country to reduce our energy load. >> host: thanks, darren, appreciate it. >> guest: i lot there. let me start with the last point first. i believe we have an incredible opportunity in this country with our fossil fuel resources. we have more oil, mor

folks say, oh, how unpatriotic, what an you feel thing to do. i would tell you, madam speaker, that the law of the land requires them to do that. the law of the land says if you're the board of direct yoffers a publicly traded corporation, off fiduciary duty to maximize return to shareholders. and if you're trying to incorporate in a country that's punishing you and you can go to a country that rewards you, you must make that. it's not optional, it's require. we can either try to pass laws that trap companies here or we can try to pass laws that encourage every nation on the planet to locate here. the fair tax does exactly that. let me tell you a little bit about what the fair tax does, madam speaker. it's a fair chance for every american family to build a better life. we talk so much about the income tax in this chamber, but the truth is that 80% of american families pay more in payroll taxes than they do in income taxes. all the time we spend complaining about the i.r.s., complaining about the american tax code, the income tax code, it is the
