School prayer ruling the desegregation ruling the abortion ruling the gay marriage ruling none of them was decided by legislation which is where where political decisions should be decided instead the courts weighted in happily. And therefore as the years went by the fights over who were stopped the courts became ever more bitter. And so than that and i think why were here and where we are which is here is a liberal Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg consistently votes with the liberals is now dead has a conservative president and a conservative ruled senate so now because the stakes are very high thats why the fight is going to be extremely better as they were in the case of camelot because there was a swing vote kennedy who was replaced by a conservative so you know a game the courts are to blame for this. And of course the irresponsible politicians you have landed that this is really in this is about the. The growing illegitimacy of institutions and its been creeping along george has pointed out here how its been politicized and id like to point out you know thats how the left is only its really neat only the way the left its got its agenda through is through the courts here and thats whats given conservatives its almost an existential imperative now because what they see all of these major social legislation come into effect through the court not through congress here and this is why conservatives are up in arms and will definitely vote ok even though i would say gore should or should seek and count how we havent really met expectations nonetheless this is going to motivate people. Will agree with that because this seems very much like a symptom of why theyre. Moving the country so i think that either country conflicts important because theres not just of course we see it out a lot of the Democratic Institutions in the u. S. Are coming on the greater and greater stress so we see them crossed in to meet us or in the who seems just more all seem more like mouthpiece all the rest of political parties. If you are and their daughters and you have a congress with ridiculous lelo support and most likely will see the president ial election election someone disputing the legitimacy of the outcome the matter who wins. Fail to recognize that this 3rd branch of power which is the Supreme Court. Has for a long time been a problem that all arises so much i think in the last few years there is this is that escalate and then more and more with the conservatives block Merrick Garland this you know or the argument that. Barack obama was a lame duck president. As a result its been clear with our viewers who the argument was that if the senate and the president were in different in different parties that was mcconnells explanation here ok yes indeed i mean thats just in his explanation he has the power to do it its not the law its not written in the constitution it is basically is rule ok so i keep going to here every month because they belong to karl and this led to a let me let go legitimacy for the odors their choice was put in by chung and then the democrats tried to block as a member Brett Kavanaugh 2 years ago in well what i would call a very despicable effort to smear him in the most awful way so is all the conservatives arguers clausen changed rules are exceptions rule the game and they will push for an out against her back even though the action is promotion around the corner but as you call it out as theres no specific rules i think i caught the other but again this is just shows us keeps escalating and is a guy who knows what happens next summer you are going in with the democrats think power should simply add to more seats to the Supreme Court or watered down conservative presence so i guess again this is for about well how i see its consequences of the us is situations fragmenting and to go well the 2 Major Political parties still see each other as artist working for the same team or more this each other. Benami undermining this you know soul of the country and when you are in a war or much everythings permitted which is why i say it is rulebook more and more being all torn away or are or of this looking for alternative ways of doing it now i just thought one last point which is i think the. Supreme court is more vulnerable to police us ation than others because again this is where liberals and conservatives deviate goes for conservatives so you would see that the future has to be informed by the present or the past so. And liberals this is not the past so stop struct. What it means to change so thats why conservatives censor say you have to interpret see what exactly was written there was follow this it has to build up to 6 i try things for all the liberals say you know you have to interpret it the spirit of it and what the spirit is of course theyre horrible to ideology so you see in the courtroom washoe logical area or political even though its close to being neutral yeah but you cant get your agenda across through the. George i mean one of the most corrupt the elements which the Court Allowed was Citizens United and and if you look at the the the the implication that is that you have you have politicians that are appointed by special interests and joe owners and so those politicians will look to the court in keeping in mind they are joe nurse and what they want ok and so theyre going to be looking at the political coloration of a of a nominee theyre not going to be looking at it buys nonsense theyre not be looking at competence you know theyre going to donors are going to get what they want because thats why they consider affairs and congressmen there and now youre supposed to and you know all the all the regulations and any time you look at the Supreme Court and in this keep lets keep in mind the Supreme Court you know well everyones arguing all the time about you know theyre going to resent. Really. Versus wade you know its basically the Supreme Court is very friendly to the chamber of commerce always and that doesnt get a lot of coverage ok and thats why these politicians are very very worried that someones going to come in and say you know Something Like Citizens United is inherently corrupting the politics go ahead yes well thats the thing that the politicians have found a nice way of avoiding or could vote so. And this is this is really been the case now for well really ever since the days of the warren court. If they could just simply hide behind the Supreme Court to say well of every whatever whatever i think thats the way the Supreme Court has ruled and thats it and so i had my vote doesnt have to go on the record and this is a great get out clause for all politicians and so this week in particularly conservatives i would say ok if we think its a womans world and i dont yeah thats it and so also all of these are Big Decisions when you think of you know whether of the on the social issues you think of abortion very much a gay marriage not one of them has ever been decided by a legislature because. The few votes that have taken place in legislature particularly on abortion or of course rolled out by say i hate the super eagles are all roe v wade is the law of the land thats a youre out youre out of luck and now this is this goes on all the time in america where you have judges and we go to understand the Supreme Court but federal judges they dont like trumps all is the only big ration so they are making issue a ruling that saves like an unelected judge just as i said in self that this is unconstitutional and that sets a limit and theyre a decision made by the elected president is then nolen roy as they go up to the Circuit Court of appeals defending their what the political makeup of the Circuit Court of appeals is that they will buy the rule for the case but and again people become very shrewd and they say though the 9th circuit thats generally tends to be liberal lets go do this in the 9th circuit on the 9th circuit rules. Against the president not come because. Of the legal merits but because of politics then you know then it becomes the brink of war and then again the decision is largely made on you know this is the way the conservatives were those who were the liberals. So what you now have and that would be fine if you had you dont vote by people who are elected to represent the people but these are all unelected judges so the most important questions in america now decided by on are like the judges and that really is a very very situation and give the last 45 seconds that glenn here is just in weve been talking about how the Supreme Court decides the most important issues they may decide the election and if theres only 4 justices well i cant even imagine whats going to happen 30 seconds go to. You know a lot of the problem and if this will be a this. Election outcome most likely will be i think theyll go over to now to stock. Every side wants to have favorable. More so to say the charges are placed us to decide what actual outcome but i would just add one to very quick thing is a child did exactly the same thing with abortion it was a portion of it he didnt want to alienate all goldwaters some democratic side in 2016 that is and if it was there well its out of my hands not that it could get here were going to go to a short break you know lets not bring you know one discussion on a major news. Is youll be dia a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Place a nation for community. Are you going the right way or are you being led so. Direct. What is true. More is great. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Maybe in the shallows. Time after time to repeat the same mantra sustainability very important. Transition sustainable prize board sustainability stay number may not be more equitable and sustainable. They claim their production is completely harmless. It. Companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something this must be done to anyone and im really looking. To do. So when. Were segregated. By social class. People also in poverty. If youre born into a poor family ah youre born into a minority family if youre born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life chances people die on average 15 years old is your born into generational poverty. Its a tough fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family. Well about the crossed up were all the things we considered im Peter Lavelle trying to discuss. Some real news. Ok lets go to george and with an budapest the 2nd towering figure that we have lost in the last couple of days the steven cohen and i dont think theres going to be a lot of Television Programs made about him but they should be a towering figure in academia and i went to academia and he was a Guiding Light he was a bit controversial in his early days because he had reem re understood it and mapped out. What we understood about the soviet union russia and communism and sell he was an adviser to president s particular of george bush sr he played a pivotal role in that dimia and i would even say in Foreign Policy but then everything changed he was basically disappeared by the academy because he disagree with the the consensus. View of russia after the cold war and he was always one that would say engagement because he remembered the cold war and remember how detente for all of its failings works because it kept us out of the major conflict your thoughts about him because united moralists studied the same thing our lives parallel and george yes youre absolutely right peter he was a towering figure and he has been for many years i mean dont forget back in the 1970 s. The consensus view among. Analysts of the soviet union was that change was impossible but the soviet system had to reach a kind of bureaucratic equilibrium you know there would be a brashear would be replaced by another pressure. Replaced by another pressure and he broke that he said. That no i think that the soviet system can change and and in fact that change is quite likely and when go about europe and about and whatever else you can say had coverage of he certainly institute the drastic changes he was right and you have to say he was right and those people who criticized him repeatedly in print and on Television Like Richard Pipes were wrong i mean they were absolutely wrong as a lot of this is a totalitarian system of totalitarianism by definition chemical change so he was right there and of course in subsequently when he has been an advocate but they dont he has been consistent he was an advocate for they dont in the seventys in the eightys ninetys and through the present basically hes saying that war is the worst possible outcome in relations between the United States and so if youre in and then russia and hes been consistent as all the talk about always an apologist for putin as they were that was always ridiculous it was a very clear cool headed analysts who wanted good relations between the 2 Nuclear Superpowers and thats what drove his analysis you know glenn it was very interesting ive seen a number i saw a number of interviews with stephen before his death and one thing he stressed all of the time is that during the cold war. There was an attempt to see how the other guy vs the world how the soviet union viewed the United States and that that is that is remarkably missing in our Foreign Policy right now is try to understand what the other guy hanks and i think that was what the success of cohens analysis of ending the cold war so a lot of what underpins our. Diplomacy if you dont have the cloners it has to be based on having some recognition for the position of the other side and if you cannot just. And then perhaps you can meet somewhere in the middle as opposed to if you just see them as and that inherent evil of count change all of its a little war and conflict just dont listen lucian. And because of this i think that that was a great part of his success and he ended astonishment recognized famous all over this. But again he recommended in a hero of high step president ial administration he was to go to mass for the media during the cold war when there was this push for the taliban reckitt when you recognize that they have security costars as well so it doesnt beg the question of what happened after the cold war well the cold war you have the unit color moment more or less the need to understand russia was more or less gone and again thats why he also disappeared because. His argument is merited was no longer attractive because what he effectively did was he contested the main us narrative of what happened after the cold war because if we lose our alterations in the media what were told is that the u. S. Reached out to russia for friendship you know a guy the russians there is passed to democracy in you know it all for russia this membership in a european sound of nations. Couldnt talk over it and he is just you know his thirst for empire and hatred of the moccasin meant as a relationship both broken and you know yeah they are the other we have the ukraine crisis later now well and point out again trying to understand the other side was was recognizing that the this is not actually what took place. Russia very clearly it was not overt in that membership in europe in sally instead we had nato expansion which prevented a truly unification of the continent so he was never a critical nato expansion and then of course the same here is an expression of bombing of yugoslavia without a u. N. Mandate so this is all represented the cancellation of any real. A role for russia in europe after the cold war and also if you want to have a voice and protect its allies it would need to stand up for itself so you could rely on the seat at the table in your so i think this is all very core if youre going to understand how russia reacted. We we dont want this 4th anymore and you know we were smear them so were trying to understand other side not you know doing the ground work over there know if you are now in apologists. Take the lead youre shamed out. You me because he very clearly said i do not want to mention my war because then i will be the means of our cause and i will be complicit in this way the prosperous and so i. Guess a big loss for the Economic Community community definitely you know you know george wendt when the then irony of ironies of all of this is that steven cohen and there were a number of other people like him but primarily Stephen Cohen that he was historically proven right about the end how the end of the cold war would come to an end he he had a bet there in his hat ok and then and then we can speed up to the present you know with this ridiculous right to russia gate hoax just like what we heard from glenn i mean he didnt want to take he said this is a hoax ok it doesnt make any sense and as we get empirical sense its an obviously politically motivated and not only did i my room when he was an active academic id married him even more in the last part of his life because he was a man of amazing integrity and authenticity he says no im not going to go along with this i dont have to im a retired academic ok i have nothing to fear and i think that it makes him really stand out as a human being up is a scholar is that he wouldnt take the need when everybody else did was cowed oh and some of them by the way made a lot of money doing it go ahead george yes yes yes no that is right or he was. Right about how the cold war would end he was also right about the ninetys because throughout the ninetys he was warning that yeltsin is an absolutely calamitous figure for russia and that it will all end extremely badly if it was a calamitous and it did and extremely badly and even pointed out which somehow now is no longer miscible in western media political circles is that the west has pursued a policy that it was clearly. Arouse fear or a legitimate fear on the part of the russians that you know when the over end of the russians were extremely well disposed towards the west. And you know essentially they got the back of the hand from the west and he has pointed this out he pointed this out particularly it over the ukraine crisis i mean and you know that that was a crisis not engineered by putin google it pretty much pursued a kind of a hands off policy but it was a western expansion it was the promise of nato membership it was the attempt to get nato ukraine into a kind of part of the nato bloc that triggered this crisis and why because you know russians have legitimate security concerns and none of that ever gets into the into the western media market i mean you can watch it on you tube i. D. s they have a lot of money number of his confrontations with max boot with Christiane Amanpour and you can see you know these are just people who are quite is erica. And the left so with this rage that you know what he was saying only what he was saying was a reasonable one you know put yourself in the position of russia you know a country that has been invaded twice in the last 100 or so years yet they have serious and legitimate security concerns you know glenn who are enduring one of the classic crisis of the end of the cold war was. The cuban missile crisis and its well documented that president kennedy wanted it least one person in his inner circle that would push back on everything and everything are we getting this right are we living in group think or are is our vision blurred are we ideologically possessed because he wanted someone to always say hey give me a reality check here thats exactly what steven cohen did from almost all of his life in looking at politics and particularly the u. S. Relationship with russia thats what were going to miss and we have been miss. Well that is the Important Role that he served here. Is career started when he was getting it working with a so he at the center so they end up in the goal arsenal being released so he recognizes this need to descend from the state now what happens is the ninetys he was he had great disagree very much with american policies so he became a dissenter against u. S. Policies and then thats also when he happened to drop off the map and so for me here the story of his last 30 years of his life is really one of what happened to these former giant schools suddenly we dont want to hear from him more because hes not the only want you can mind you had George Kennan when he was architect of the containment policy is held reduced on a great thinkers in america or what happened after in 1900 he said nato expansion is an assault against russia and it will start a new cold war it is the worst thing that could possibly do on the fathers holds in their graves and oh he has essentially disappeared where we did not want to hear from you know this in a more and you can also say the same of jack matlock he was the last ambassador to the disobeyed union under reagan but also bush and. He said just as a credit for this difficulty go shisha know ending the cold war which was then announced to be over in 1009. 00 but then of course where well what he was critical about this when he rewrite the glitter and say you know actually the cold war was won why would we hear from the guy who negotiated the end of the cold war when we actually won it instead so he was also house a little bit away with all this great experience to how to understand your opponent and really lay the groundwork for the poses if cohen is not. Alone in this is we see a lot of these former giants swished where ill finish up for us here John Mearsheimer at the university of chicago in the amazing geopolitical banker and when he dissented against the iraq war he wasnt on t. V. Again until he was on this program. All right. Thank you i want to thank im going to endorse the olympic our viewers for watching us here are t. See you next time remember. Time after time called parisian to repeat the same mantra sustainability its very important to excel or a transition to sustainable transport sustainability stay number man or a more equitable and sustainable well. They claim their production is completely harmless. Lovely. It does on the Companies Want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away theres a 2nd eldest we dont even and i mean look. This is the move and news to me didnt even and im studying them to be better understood. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe from. The isolation community. By you going the right way or are you being led so. What is true what is faith. In a world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or a made in the shallows. Seem wrong. All just dont all. Get to shape out just the adjective and engagement equals a trail. When so many. Common ground. If youre born in. A family if youre born into a family single parent that really. Fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family.
