For that tweet a tweet is not just a tweet anymore so lets find out what makes free speech so darn expensive start watching the hawks. Were told. That the french are real that this would be a liar for the part of. The day like you are going to. Sleep. With. Her. And today we put dialogues over debate at tyrell banter and myself are you 2 distinct and therefore often have discussions featuring a variety of topics and guests with unique political viewpoints so lets step away from the tweets and into the gallery. Joining me now in the gallery is the host of news for you to Scottie Nell Hughes r t correspondent sara modest ok. An r t america sports producer reggie and i have. Well. Who doesnt love to tweet but i just like to do. Everything on twitter obviously you know tensions with china are unusually high sorry you report on this youve been there weve all talked about the n. B. A. All of these issues. The people of china seem to be focused on the upper management for their sort of perceived sign of disrespect. I want to show you guys for a 2nd here is chinese fans reaction to the controversially this week as they were at the mercedesbenz arena in shanghai china after seeing the lakers vs the nuts there an exhibition game and what he had to say to battle i brought my 900 chinese flirts with respect to the controversy these days we have to choose we will choose to support our country and we support specific. Enough the n. B. A. Organization and im giving away chinese as i encourage people to put their National Interests ahead of their n. B. A. Following i will continue to support Le Bron James none of the Chinese People would accept comments you took me by dear old morry going to adam silver so you can redeem your sports your thoughts heard here on the panel what does this tell us about where these sports fans loyalty of live are like well still love le bron but we dont like your boss but its really interesting when you look at it like you said china is one of the biggest n. B. A. Markets yeah one of those famous chinese basket players to come out of the n. B. A. He actually sits on the board of the Chinese Basketball Association and he kind of was supposed to be the mediator between silver and fans we see thats not happening fandom is always been a monetary thing organizations monetize their fans they want to be able to have that the message growth product for the n. B. A. And then its a 7000000000. 30 of that comes from china so while you have the people canceling their subscriptions and theyre angry and theyre not going to watch a 10 cent as a 500000000. 00. Real stream n. B. A. Games are not going to the rockets games anymore youre going to see that loss of revenue but fans i think if they support their Team Sometimes theyre willing to overlook it but in this case it seems like the government telling them no no no this is an offense to china even though you know we value freedom of speech here yeah. Its a little different scott you know china isnt it isnt like other countries their fears are fiercely loyal to their government when it comes to attacks from the outside there is a certain like you just dont do that because. Remember what happened to all within the state that is causes heres the deal here in america we have this thing called freedom of speech and sports has gotten political and whether you agree or disagree with things as fists in the air or nearly untempered here in america you still have the right to do that we have allowed that to happen this is where china it has backfired they thought you know what were going to ban this were going to you know were going to put our money and americans with no we this is actually justifying the fight that america has had with trying to say that you dont respect freedom you dont respect human rights within your state your country so this is backfired because in america we might not get along but we still try to respect the others through speech even if we dont agree with it syria youve been youve been to china i mean this is the thing its like very expensive tweets like how much can take these things cost whether its you know. Clearly a little too much green. Trying to writing out trades to you know reporters all of that is this one of those senses where i want to know have you if you noticed that if the trade dispute and these cultural issues of china and china and hong kong which is a very complicated issue even for people who are there do you think that this kind of this tweet and this whole n. B. A. Thing is kind of talking about that is part of that i think its part of showing people who feel a certain way about china especially in hong kong for example i mean something thats so so political weve seen this i report on this really of this week that its not just the n. B. A. There are other companies who kind of side with things are careful about what they say and i think its all about the respectful way china obviously feels very attacked by this and i understand you know the chinese feel. They need to be loyal to their country and theyre cutting these ties but at the end of the day these companies what they do is for profit these the citizens of china whether its china or hong kong and the different believes icon kong while it is under china it is its own democracy so i think they are parallel but they are also different in the sense that the hong kong hers are are not exactly under chinese rule there are demands that some that have been met some that havent and this is still ongoing the whole trade war these talks are going on this week i mean all of these other this other noise thats just contributing to the already high tensions thats not only economic its now become so political intellectual property theft and now this its just tensions are not going away but you do see a bipartisan republicans and democrats alike came out in support of the houston in their original tweet and said no no no we have freedom of speech here were going to back them up and that was the only thing lately weve been able to get republicans and democrats to agree on is they said they were going to back him up for the freedom of speech and that brought a lot of the spotlight of what has been going on in china besides just their trade practices alternately though its going to come down to whether or not this is going to help most people think this is going to have nothing to do or no impact theyre saying that it might be a completely separate issue which it very well could be and might be and yes and that is into this sort of cultural issue that i think sometimes we forget that not everyone in america we forgot you know that there are certain things that we take very fiercely loyal like in trying to you dont critique people from outside dont get to criticize we dont get to make comments and we cant control that as americans but whats interesting is that on another side of this idea a very expensive tweets demi lovato a couple of months ago got paid to put out positive tweets about tweets and other about. The she went ok she went to she went. Try to make sure i say this very carefully because we dont want to end up in one of these. So she had reportedly been paid 150000. 00 to be baptized in jordan and then to post content from her trip to israel and she was saying it was this very spiritual experience. But as a lot of people felt like it was a very political statement on her part given all of the israeli and palestinian tension. I mean its not about the money that was involved in that is that we see heres the thing that you know what makes twitter different is because its real it is it is very human as opposed to all of these other social media forms and the media that has filters on it twitter is real it is human which means humans make mistakes they can tweet something weve all tweet Something Like oh i wish i could do that thats why theres the delete button even though its still there so when now if theyre going to shake our confidence that twitter is not taken to love it or not that the president tweets we know that is him out there tweeting it sometimes thats scary but at least we feel thats authentic in a world of so much greatness i fear now if thats were the road twitter is going to where people are paid to put out tweets even if they are positive that opens up a whole new can of worms of where you really do not believe what is reality anymore they want to villainize which i feel like with when it comes to celebrities play kylie jenner or you know demi lovatos trip to israel we want to be like oh they spent money on that and while that is wrong maybe she goes if she wanted to go for israel for. Do that you dont need to be like hey i say that money but i also think to a degree were looking for that way to oh she spent so much money on her she lived. There and were trying to almost vilify them maybe it was actually a spiritual experience 850000. Dollars where it wasnt world we live in the society we live in these days where you have a lot of younger generations as well becoming a part of this and looking at these social media platforms for getting attention or are gay. You know all of these payments for a warder let me out and pretend like this is the life i live and this is great and whether its fake or real or what you know a lot of it mind you its probably fake when it comes to twitter and posting really your opinions and things i think thats a little bit different but i i do see the way the celebrities uses twitter and how twitter itself is just and we have to go to the consequences do we say literally in this case when you were talking about it on mosque he lost a c. E. O. Position over a tweet and i have a company that he created even though he was quite the you know quite how and how freedom of speech or do we have the right now thats a question i guess that were looking at right now and obviously well need about 20 more of these panels to get there but i think the thing is twitter is forcing us to really think about what we say think about where it lives afterward and the how much it will cost our socially or fiscally and well talk about that oh i did that in real life i know you have already reality to thank you guys so ive got an email here is there much a 3rd brigade i have thank you so much thank you for joining me here in the gallery this way and as we go to break dont forget to tell us what you think of the topics weve covered on our social media. Watching not to broadcast now available on spotify out of music and everywhere you listen to podcasts coming up lycos style mentor every his guests into a little perception and perspective to the never ending Afghanistan War and the l. And george w. Bush controversy stay tuned. On this edition of crosstalk we demystify serious kurds almost all of the criticism launched against from syria policy is not read in time. Actually that criticism is driven by false narratives and the inability to admit the International Proxy War to overthrow the damascus government has failed the sooner all american troops leave syria the better for syria and the beach. Paradise with some around and into a round the experimentation field the agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritant theres no question otherwise why would that the Chemical Company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison the why and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental races going on in hawaii whether these Companies Feel they can get away with this because the people have less political. Controversy is still swirling here in washington d. C. Over u. S. President Donald Trumps decision to pull u. S. Troops from the border between turkey and syria and all the condemnation and finger pointing over that decision which allowed door to the launch of major offensive on the kurdish held areas in Northern Syria is coming fast and furious from both the left and the right side war office United States of americas war machine marked a truly tragic 1st in our nations history a. B. C. News reports that this week black hawk helicopter mechanic private hunter 9 is about to be deployed in the Afghanistan War a war that is nearly as old as he goes. Yes private nines is 18 years old and was just 7 months old when the war began back on october 7th 2001 when asked what he thought about serving in a u. S. War that is as old as he is he told a. B. C. News honestly i dont think a lot about it all i know is that ive got a job to do and that were still over there right now and its not done yet given our current Political Climate the end my friends nowhere in sight of it and speaking of the Afghanistan War the man who started it all the very reason that private nines is now putting his life on the line to fight in a war that doesnt end george w. Bush was making headlines this week with his new best the daytime talk show host ellen de generous after video of the 2 sitting together an n. F. L. Football game went viral it seems that many were not exactly happy seeing the comedienne sitting with the man responsible for the iraq and Afghanistan Wars the surveillance state cia torture Guantanamo Bay aboud grob Hurricane Katrina aftermath lack of clean up i could go on and on and on. She took her show to quell the controversy stating that she is friends with a lot of people who dont share the same beliefs that i have just because i dont agree with someone on someone and everything doesnt mean that im not going to be friends with them because everyone yes we should be kind to everyone including the memories of the more than 1000000 people who have died as a result of your best these military industrial adventures at least thats my perception and perspective. Joining me today is conservative commentator Steve Malzberg legal with media analyst live no line no media and r t america Sports CorrespondentSteve Christoph goes all right everybody so it is official 18 year olds and military today are now being deployed into a war that has lasted their entire lives to this point is the war in afghanistan now should we now consider it one of the biggest military and Foreign Policy blunders in u. S. History the fact that we have 18 year olds who are going to live the same length as the war will go to you 1st steve. Well with all due respect you know i love you george w. Bush is not the reason that that brave 18 year old private is going to afghanistan he volunteered hes the reason hes going to afghanistan he shows as so many other thousands and tens of thousands of brave Young American young men and women do they feel the need to serve this country they dont look at the way that you look at it they dont look at the way that others look at it they like he said i dont care that im going to afghanistan i have a job to do a job that he has chosen to do thats what americans do and they army in the navy the air that the forces that we have now are volunteer so these are brave me other men and women who keep signing up to go to these places that must be something to it. Puts you guys here at the table i mean it is this is a blunder and i go understand what steve saying theyre volunteering but weve allowed a war thats going on now 18 years of their entire lives at this point theres something inherently wrong with that is it not lionels that historically we used to look back at the korean war and say what the heck is this all about then came vietnam and we said i got this makes korea look even clearer now they could be more vague in the vietnam war then came iraq but at least we left afghanistan you could stand in the corner of times square with a 1000. 00 a day of anybody can tell me why were here the money is yours most would say why were aware now lets separate that from somebody who is voluntary were not making fun of him obviously were not going to he signed up for the military not necessarily for this theater of war but my god is it ok for us to ask what the hell are we doing there what is this a buyout im tired of having more gold star families more walls and its not wrong for us to ask why people are there congratulate him for his service thank you sir for your for your courage and your temerity but that notwithstanding what are we doing thats the question thats the course or are we betraying our military you know soldiers and these people that are volunteering to go do this by not being this war by you have 3 president s now and multiple members of congress over the years that have still not ended this war are we but training these soldiers and if this is true and. Steve said and i dont mention that while they are volunteer and we commend them for that some of our you would you could argue theyre forced to join because they have no other way out of maybe theyre they come from a lower Socio Economic status or level and they need to provide for the family or they need to pay for school some way and this is the only way so the lower in that age keep it at 18 years old when you cant do other things in america such as joining the n. B. A. Or congress for that matter which the age is 25. 00 the minimum age which. Means that they would want people in there who can make sound decisions because that scientifically is when the brain fully mature according to science so if people in congress which isnt doing that well obviously have to be 25 in order to make those decisions what do you think an 18 year old going to be able to make a good decision in a foreign country with with the with the killing machine on his shoulder i mean thats an interesting point is that age and that an idea of what we find to be adulthood that we are really to send you know young soldiers off to go and fight in these wars for us but yet at the same time we dont allow them to have a beer they can play in the n. B. A. They can run for congress and things like that i mean it is an interesting dilemma that we havent figured out what adulthood is at this point i want to move on to something i think that we all could have a piece to say about in response to the ellen de generous and george bush hubbub this week actor mark rutte below tweeted out the following he said sorry until george w. Bush is brought to justice for the crimes of the iraq war including american led torture iraqi deaths and displacement and the deep scars of motional another was inflicted on our military that served his folly we cant even begin to talk about kindness ill start. With favor go to your new york is the criticism of allen justified should we be holding celebrities and members of the media accountable for who they associate with or is this just further splintering the nations along partisan lines. Its only radical left wing nut jobs who would talk like this george w. Bush last year a c. N. N. Poll showed he had over a 60 percent Approval Rating so its not the sentiment of the country thats speaking here its the Susan Sarandon so of the world its the same people like like a car resellers probably out here although i didnt see him when i would say some people need to be punched when the kid at the Covington High School was in that standoff or the woman the writer from saturday night live sarah who said ill perform a sex act on somebody who punches that kid its the hate filled left whos made this into an issue in a story but iraq obama didnt approve gay marriage until 2012 bill clinton never did as as far as the war criminal thats a bunch of nonsense again thats the radical left who views george w. Bush that way and probably every american president who ever got us involved in a war because they basically despise the country the home that hes had to get there is never an award given for somebody who go into statistics for a question that has nothing to do with it its that man my friend. Number 2 wary of my camera to mark ruffled their arm you know where on my mark sat shot list say to quote the great dr ronnie king cant we all just get along she said the next time look i wasnt a fan of his and he was the president. Now watching the game shes not running as his as his running mate i mean every seriously this has been as a player while nonsense stop it and mark ruffalo i think it was Lyndon Johnson who said when youve lost mark well follow youve lost Middle America oh come on you know its interesting about where the outrage comes because when i look at this i look no one can make her own decisions at the same time i think people are allowed to quit. Sizer decisions and i think when you when she sits up there next to george bush was a divisive figure who i believe is a war criminal i believe that the acts that him and dick cheney pulled off and lying to get us into the iraq war and the 1000000 people that died as a result of it do constitute severe criticism if not charges but we wont do that because well you know hes an expresident we only do that on popular president s but theres also the element of where shes sitting shes watching a Football Game no ones brought up the fact that and ill go to you steve the n. F. L. Doesnt exactly have a great history in terms of you know the things that she stood up for like l g b t q rights and things like that you know violence against women and things of that nature thats true i mean the n. F. L. Is known for trying to sweep Domestic Abuse allegations under the rug they only it when it when it comes to public outrage in the video releases when they say oh yeah ok lets lets suspend them now like ray rice for example go to that initially was 2 games when only the n. F. L. Commissioner had allegedly seen the video once it became public thats when he was basically been banned for life so theyve been kind of soft on disciplining their players when it comes to Domestic Abuse allegations and theres been cases of homophobia in the locker rooms of that and things of that nature so its not exactly the most you know i want anybody randomly or it will female friend i got the solution guys boycott allen hanger harasser and restaurants well i dont have a moment of peace and shes evil it well and heres my heres my thing at the end of the day the thing that really got me about this is the one the criticism came she just kind of came to this well we all just need to be kind we all just need to be this and things like that but she really didnt understand i dont think what the criticism was it wasnt because he was on the right its because of the actions and the things that he oversaw and that to me says theres a strange cognitive dissonance and ill end it on this i really do feel that when you reach a certain pay grade in this country and who you hang out with jerry jones is a millionaire george bush made quite a lot of money afterwards he hangs out with other millionaires and generous 1000000 or but there is a class difference of what they can see. Or to be bad and what the rest of us who are in the lower classes think of the bad boy here with you when you were a millionaire i mean i dont know how they were seen a 1000000 dollars in my life why not do that youre still not over here. I was going to say just because though you forgive somebody doesnt mean you totally relinquish them of the responsibility so you have maybe that is the arrows d in shasta and i would hope that she would take the time at least and other people take the time to save all my associate with wine for the sunni clerics didnt. Have to have a problem i guess shes not there its a go but remember we all i got to say i got to say thank you all 3 per coming out today always a pleasure Steve Malzberg lynell by the medium steve christakis or to mark a spank you always a pleasure having you guys on in your viewpoints all right everybody that is our show up today remember what in this world we are told that we are loved about so i tell you all i love you i am tyrone to keep on watching old folks another great day in.
