Should we be fighting another war with iran do you guys see a war with iran coming down the pipe or 2021 is interesting because there are just a few months ago the top u. S. Officials like my pump a 0 d and then john bolton were all saying hey watch out iran is going to use these smaller militias to go and attack u. S. Troops and they kept warning about that even though iran was saying we dont have any plans to do this and now all of a sudden you have a one tab i stack with the smallest of the killed one you know u. S. Servicemen and now all of a sudden theyre going off in our honest saying hey we didnt do this it lines up with that narrative that they have in place and so now theyre able to say oh look at this and of course how dare these protesters come and star in this embassy and speak out in a country where the United States has invaded and has been for several years with no sign of leaving in the forseeable future goes through a sort of clear display of why we need new leadership. And everything its just he said just the whole idea of the military Industrial Complex war war war war what is the new woods into. Every year and its been that way since this country began and it doesnt work for the people it doesnt this i mean well we could talk about whether this militia was in you know where they were on the inner just iraqi people and what whether it was justified to bomb there or not but at the end of the day like rachel said weve been there since 2003 in iraq and unjustly so eventually people are going to rise up and when the bully keeps on punching you down and kicking you are going to punch back in the mouth and i think thats what happened and the u. S. Is being a bully over there and theyre bound to get get what they have coming its interesting too because what you see happening too is remember they didnt know it was thankfully killed in the siege on the embassy was mostly just property destruction they didnt get into the actual part of the embassy where people were i mean you know so one of the interesting things to the jump out at me is the Iraqi Security forces actually let these protesters into the green zone like these are the these are the Security Forces that weve been training for over many years weve been there. And then respond then you also saw that in response to the original u. S. Airstrikes that killed these 25 iraqis they may have been in the supposedly has been iranian backed militia theres still 25 iraqis that we killed iraqis iraqs Prime MinisterAdel Abdul Mahdi stated we have previously confirmed our rejection of any unilateral action by the Coalition Forces or any other Coalition Forces or any other forces inside iraq and we consider it as a violation of iraqi sovereignty and a dangerous escalation that threatens the security of iraq in the region are we seeing in real time the United States kind of lose its control over the country that it toppled its government like we said back in 2000 to 2003 are we are they losing control of this country. Jesse tyrrell im still waiting for the day dick cheney told us we would be greeted in the streets like a liberator a Im Still Holding my breath lets skip dick cheney out here and explain to us why its nearly 20 years later and were still not being looked at by the liberators you know when your country goes out and they wage war simply for regime change years this is the blowback you went up with so everything thats happening now is the result of the misguided lobbying war of the iraq war was and thats all they do now is lied to get us into war now weve learned afghanistans been a big live from start to finish where the people going to wake up to these lies and finally say no to the wars i dont think dick cheney has ever been greeted anyway every. Detainee has the greed in his own country let alone somebody elses of it kind of makes. And i know weve removed but we consume easy on the bush administration. Trouble comes in this is goofy and out of control and we kind of for get like those years if you want to talk about him and how much damage was wrought they want him out in being a citizen in iraq you know you have the United States come in way to this war and all this and it starts coming out that this weapons of mass destruction claim was all a big lie and yet theyre still there theres no accountability for any United States basically says hey guess what were camping out here and if you try to do anything about it and were just going on the launch more airstrikes in this country where we arent even supposed to be in the 1st place i mean that has got to be incredibly frustrating point then i think you know we use the narrative as that isis is our biggest threat and there are these big scary boogie men over there but i would if i heard correctly this militia was fighting leading the fight against isis as well and were bombing the militia that is leading the fight against our biggest threat thats a very i dont know if they actually were they were what i will be doing. Hey lets throw in there too there would be are you serious if we had graded iraq in the 1st place. Did not exist until we invaded iraq the leftover of saddams regime that we didnt keep on the payroll when we got there they went up north 3 for themselves so i. Frankenstein it always has but its very interesting that like in response to the protests and the burning of the guard stand at the embassy President Trump and all of his glory treated all wrong will be held responsible for lives lost or damage incurred at any of our facilities they will pay of very big price this is not a warning it is a threat happy new year. Literally under the tree with. Us president or any other elected representative or official from the United States because very serious threatening nations or a nations people or anyone whatsoever on social media allowed at this point know a lot of my mountain is on. The element of surprise. Come on man like you is out of control i think that you know enough and as i think the president should be kicked off. We live in a day and age where what becomes Headline News as a result of the Mainstream Media take that they carry this narrative write all this and they say well the president claims that are wrong with behind these attacks so now we have to go forward and spread that claimants present claim as one of those things where honest as they went behind them so if its a lie that spread enough times and eventually becomes the truth and regular americans sitting at home are watching this on fox news or c. N. N. And theyre like well they better run a doctor at and theyre killing our soldiers and now we have to go after that good point good point just going to say oh buddy. Jesse is open and. Lets. Member of this is the twitter of a draft dodging power when it was time for theres a guy there serve what did he do he paid big money and got out of it thats why he said tough guy because he himself never would ever fight himself he told your colt and let you fight tough guy on twitter but not in real life its not exactly what i say just an example of a bully who should not be a leader in any way shape or form at all because like i said earlier when you eventually are big bad bill youre going to get hit back in the mouth and he its just a bunch of empty threats it is it is and that 3 is the danger i see in that kind of thing its like look i dont i have im fine with you want to talk policy on twitter you want to tweet out what your ideas are for the country want to have that communication with your base directly and not have to go through the media fine you can do all that but we dont need to turn twitter into like a 16 year old war that i see in high school between countries i mean see and then they all run as leader fire back at Donald Donald but i get that im tired of it i dont want to see it anymore unless i honestly do so unlike a lot of people who go to the social media his tweets matter yeah i dont know i dont think were going to get mad and i have this broom and implicates and until until we get a president who doesnt own a cell phone or doesnt is not on social media i dont think were going to see that end anytime soon all right weve got to move on as we go to break card watchers dont forget to let us know when i think of the topics weve covered on our social media be sure to check out watch dogs the podcast which is now available on spotify apple music and everywhere you listen to your favorite not so paper podcast coming up the panel thats discuss the bible and start to the 2020 here in the United States and then finally weve joined the land of basketball and look into the legacy of be a commissioner david stern and stay tuned to watch in the fall. Of american men and women choose to serve in the countrys military and the decision. Every thing came to a complete. The day that i was right to be instructed you know told to shut up or theyd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my arm and he write me with his birthing area if you take into account that women dont report because of the extreme retaliation and its probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing tat happen but ive never seen trauma like ive seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished dont be offended i had an almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of tower and violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether thats a man or woman. Mother who used to leak schools league. And we knew. That it would pool so that the biggest who was most of the book a but. Chose to squash the. Its the use of that scene in new york theres. Just too little. Childs seemed wrong. But old roles just dont hold. Any old belief yet to shape out just they become educated and in games from an equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. On january 1st of all most of us were waking up with a hangover and some. Memories of what was a glitter champagne or beer in peace some of us were not so lucky some of us waking up with a loved one in the hospital or even worse a morgue thanks to a friend stranger a loved one who misused or on purpose used a gun to inflict hurt in fact the New York Times reported that in just the city of st louis by new years morning the police were investigating 10 shootings including 5 deaths across that city the times went on to highlight that during the 48 hours of new years celebrations a man in cleveland firing off a gun to celebrate accidently killed his girlfriend in florida 2 men were killed in a shooting inside a nightclub and in baltimore which closed 2019 with the citys 2nd highest number of homicides on record the police were investigating 2 killings that happened a few hours before midnight and these were just a few examples of multiple shootings and killings that took place across the country just in time to welcome a new year so as we start this new decade with what appears to be no end in sight to gun related violence i asked this panel what would you like to see over the next decade take place when it comes to curbing gun violence start with the panel and rachel. What i think is one of those things that is going to take a cultural shift in you know we look at places where theyve theres some cities where theyve tried to enact gun control and theyve tried to enact different simply how that works you know specifically when you look at chicago and there are other places where its just a cultural thing and theres going to be a number of ways than answers that work for different cities and i think that whenever you look at these places you have to look at how well the police are dealing with this whether theyre even dealing with it all whether theyre just looking at it and letting it go by and not really whether theyre spending more time you know sending their swat teams to these huge marijuana. Bus then they are looking at these different homicides and i think thats something that were going to tackle in the next decade most of all and most of it i just see what do you see what can actually curb gun violence in your mind as i know youre a big 2nd amendment advocate. Well heres the deal look at it you know lets take a look at mexico for a moment mexico practices strict gun control theres big signs at the border you cant bring in a weapon you cant even carry ammunition or you go straight to mexican prison you dont even get 200 bucks for cash and go but the point being is that the point being is that they practice strict gun control its the old cliches the good people dont have them the bad people do because how many people die of gun violence in mexico now clearly we need to do better background checks people that are on Drugs Pharmaceutical drugs and mental drug should not have access to weapons and guns we need there would be a better job of that but it could start with our own government our own government setting the stage for us we are the larger seller of weapons throughout the world today whats the difference between a gun death or a rocket that somewhere else both of them kill women and children in the end and our government should take the example by getting off their high horse of being the largest arms dealer in the world then come and talk to be about my god. I live in baltimore phone. This has been one of the most daily is the is closing with 348 is. You know understand every argument for the 2nd amendment i get it says hasnt been working even when you tried tough gun laws to Police Officers out playing guns on people that didnt have them thats right a lot going to people who are actually shooting people so its almost like weve gotten to a place where we need to put a policy on a 2nd. We figured its so me ive been shot before it doesnt doesnt feel good. Ive been ive really hear stories about how old because this person had a gun they saved this family over because this person had a good there wasnt this mass shooting like you always hear something bad happening nothing good is coming from it its empowering a lot of collards you know beyond everything that happened on new years just look at all of the Mass Shootings that have been even. In the past 10 years like its like the number is christmas almost its a part of our culture now as something that we that we know is going to happen in the we need to figure it out because the way it is now working with all 3 of everybody on here on the panel you know i think a little bit everybodys writing a little theres a lot of its very complex of course you want commonsense gun control but you also want to respect the 2nd amendment but that was also so long ago there might need to be some revision to that obviously because i was in a different time period theres been a lot thats happened since then but i think with common sense like jesse mentioned background checks closing loopholes like a gun shows and all that because you do want to people with good intentions to be able to have guns for whatever reason they want but maybe they are 15 or you know you know the automatic joins in then was that a gun show it was someone a bag of skittles like this to study this is this is where we need to have i mean its easy to talk about Different Things than to say we need a possible 2nd amendment or we need gun control and thats not what you have to assume that the government is actually going to carry that out you know legitimately 1st of all and then at the same time was have to realize we have millions of guns in this country so lets say that we put out a new gun control legislation we start were banning all of our 15 whos going to go in take those a r 15 thats going to create a whole new war on itself that well i guess there 1 are a lot of problems at the same time guns do save lives and there are instances where when you look at the texas shooting there was a man who came out shot off 2 shots before he was shot in the head by another man who was there with a god and i didnt man and man did not have a gun in there at least by. Now there are people that have their guns. The way of easily taking them out whereas if no one else was on then he would have been able to do whatever he wanted to. Just see you try to weigh in on what you have to say. Well lets also look to mass stabbing. Right now youre seeing the trend of people going in jewish place of mass stabbing so. This is a mental problem thats there that weve got to deal with because it takes a mentally deranged person to do any of that in the 1st place i want to finish off the show today and this week we saw the n. B. A. Former n. B. A. Commissioner david stern the 77 year old passed away on wednesday after 3 weeks hospital stay up after he suffered a sudden brain hemorrhage back in the summer 12 started serve the top man in the business a professional basketball here in the u. S. For 30 years serving and be a commissioner from 1900 or 2014 e oversaw the billions of dollars rise of the n. B. A. During his tenure but also he was witness to many a controversy i want to ask the panel its curious when you see a guy like this with such an impact on Popular Culture in this country he brought the n. B. A. And made it into a powerhouse he also had the help of a lot of big n. B. A. Players along the way namely Michael Jordan and Le Bron James and everyone else what are your thoughts on the how are the david stern howard stern on the david stern legacy in the n. B. A. All star with the jesse. Well i just like they have one year of his salary. And. I cant imagine how much money david made guys a 1000000000. 00 empire and to do it i mean yeah you do things wrong bad things can happen thats going to happen the c. E. O. Of any industry over a 30 year period but lets look at the. Positives davids gone now what he did though he took basketball international now look at the teams in the n. B. A. They are not dominated by just americans now youve got an International Field the place you have literally the greatest basketball players on the planet and david sterns directly really responds i want to get to you steve as the artsy burger sports guy what were what whats your feelings on stern jumping off what jesse was just touching on internationally was a huge aspect of david sterns tenure 30 years in the in the n. B. A. From 84 to 2014 and he organized over 150 International Games he struck t. V. Deals in over 200 countries in over 40 languages that was huge that was unprecedented for any Sports League at the time and now you see the n. F. L. Follow up they have games in london every year so he kind of set that precedent and trend but also going off the money that hes made for the n. B. A. The value of the franchise in total of all the franchises has increased over 18000000000. 00 since he took over to now so thats a massive name is there definitely the n. B. A. Like i think a lot of controversy people really had to sit back and say how he caused the expansion of the league and created of so many amazing errors like even before the jordan era a certain show time that was dont stand that was so to have created probably more n. B. A. And did anything you know the robert reasons and. Rachel your thoughts of david sterns history. You know i think when you get someones legacy there may be a little going to here and there but ultimately ending for him for what he did and for what you contributed to the sport i mean i also have to say that i still believe the n. B. A. Draft is rigged. Or they have a lottery yeah i think its rigged for the big market teams i think theres a lot of behind this i think anybody whos watched n. B. A. Coaching over there is now whether this falls on david sterns back as commissioner whatever i think when you watch n. B. A. N. B. A. Refereeing over the years you can clearly see n. B. A. Referees favoring certain players certain teams certain markets. Over other teams and players and markets the probably going to be the last time. I dont see the names i get the calls of course that im going to get a call or he doesnt get called for travelling ever but also another aspect of david stern he really changed a lot of social issues such as when people were afraid of hiv when they didnt know too much about it back in 91 when Magic Johnson was diagnosed and he had to retire stern actually let he was the Magic Johnson was the leading vote getter for the 92 allstar game and stern as opposed to even players that want Magic Johnson played he let him play in that game and shook his hand and that quelled the fears that youre not going to catch this virus from just touching something that had a big impact like across the world yes and you know i dont think. And lets look at the bottom line look at what these guys are making money and you got to give credit to a commissioner that was in there 30 years that would build a business to where i made a 1000000. 00 a year knowledges looked at the shipping fee and true its true its true and incredible force and i think it holds a lot well it is a lot to stir and what you put in and also i think we were talking earlier that is what touches to start also the throughout all the controversy of things like the best but it still allows a lot of the players to be the individuals they want to be and to speak out politically the way they want to and things like that that also started under david stern and i think most important thing to know about his legacy with yeah basketball players coming off as a revolutionary you know that these Football Players you know is there anything about nothing no not at all not at all adam silver credit to him the commissioner. Hey how do you like the fact theyre going to let Antonio Brown maybe the play again but they wont let cap oh i dont let tapper good to do that good topic and well pick that one up again in a later date but i want to thank my panel Jesse Ventura the watkins Rachel Rachel blevins and steve christakis thank you so much everyone for coming on always a pleasure that is our show for you today remember when in this world we are not told but we are loved enough so i tell you all the love i am tyrone been through and keep on watching all those hawks out there a great day and night.

Revolting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended and almost 10 year career which shows very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an hour in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether thats a man or one.
