Whats going on on a city the streets. That are so lets see the crisis you always stay ill see you wrong place great city displaced systemic deception is to late show which i would think so but you still. Welcome everyone watching the clock so i am Tyrone Ventura and joining us today to discuss this now multigenerational running war in afghanistan and the silence of Foreign Policy on the campaign trail is iraq war veteran and senior fellow at the center for International Policy matthew all matthew thank you for coming on as always. Matthew 10 years ago in 2009 you you resigned from your post in afghanistan with the u. S. Department of state over the continued. Because collation of the Afghanistan War and your Worst Nightmare of if you ever imagine that war would now become a multigenerational one. Know it if they drag me on my mind you not have you figured i would i would know enough. With you before i started looking. I also didnt expect to be your pain years after resigned still talking about that actually 11 years and are still talking about the afghan war so no no idea that this would be billed multigenerational the anecdote you spoke of earlier darrelle about the soldier who had done in iraq my sons dont have to go i remember hearing those exact things when i got to rocking the wives and of course now the wars are just not a rock in afghanistan what they really are strong on the part of the land you know mali in nigeria all the way. To pakistan in the last 40 years are still to this question left leaners not there been very few nations have not been affected by war by refugee crisis by chaos by who. And this is all with all of us policy and back. Really to the Jimmy Carter Administration and so while we talk about our sons going to afghanistan because weve been there for 20 years you have to remember for the asking in recent years. Their sons are fighting again and it was their grandfathers that fought the soviet union and then in the 1980 so for not just the americans many millions of people whose has become a mobile generation the worst youve got the mass suffering and the trauma that you know just really meets the last generational lines and its something that you know i dont see an end to at a time soon again for 13000000 people thats in the western africa all the way to pass. And matthew Time Magazine reports that pentagon data shows that 80 percent of recent trips come from a family where at least one parent grandparent aunt or uncle sibling or cousin has also worn their nations uniform as a former soldier what kind of impact do you think this will have on our veterans where now theyre seeing their children fighting the exact same war they did. I think there is that you know if you look at the polling thats been done pretty much consistently for the last 10 years on attitudes and actions and the stairs members toward these wars in afghanistan many times there are negative opinion of the war saying that these wars have not been worth fighting out. Of the general public or active Duty Service Members and war veterans are saying these wars are not fighting civilians are ending the civilian category and you have you know if the 70 percent who are opposed to these wars though i think through a lot of family members seeing their children going off to take or in bali i can tell you just personally example plenty of people i know are. Is speaking to them because they understand the moral and intellectual honesty or but all they do they understand why their children are joining the military men are joining the economic benefits to get Health Care Benefits to get the education benefits as well as doing it or to the lineage and you know thats one of the great prices we have in america right now there are few occupations across the board that offer a let me offer or share a kitchen and thats what u. S. Military portrays to people rightly or wrongly i think its the. You know its motivation ability to kill it devoted to organize a murderer. Many there is this a patriotic resonance and was in america i think it. Was really. Thats the. Need absence of things to be proud of and. Will find that in the last year we got a couple minutes left i want to ask you with the news that the New York Times now ending their kind about war section or forum and how much of this lack of Media Coverage and this kind of accepted acceptance of neverending war weatherby in afghanistan and iraq and all the places you mentioned earlier that were out war how much of a role has that played in the century everyone ignoring the fact that were at war on this campaign trail. It is you know we need to get into much bigger issues right guys. The idea that the needy and hollywood and the arms industry. Are all owned by the bank that owns 90 percent of the s. And p. 500. 00. No really these wars to me are a lection of our Economic System the banks that own the again 90 percent of the s. And p. 500 the top 45 and i really think theyre really Asset Management firms like black rock in bangalore and h. P. They have a principal shareholders in the Weapons Company and theyre the principal shareholders in the fossil fuel industry in the principle shareholders in hollywood as well as the news media you know what the exception of rules are and washington there are only a handful of media organizations out there that arent connected to the weapons in the street because theyre owned by the same bank bill for me it goes beyond this idea that were not talking about the equal arent paying attention work isnt everything the way speech really is the dollars were saying we can afford health care we can afford a Public Education because you know a. B. C. But were just spending a true about it comes out to you every year about a trillion on the order dollars annually spending on its military on the wars we all those of the veteran budget the Defense Budget Nuclear Weapons logic Homeland Security budget plus all the interest we spend on past wars and military spending about one of the order trillion dollars each year and that is making a lot of people a lot of money though when you understand that next. All these industries are tied together by the same banks that own them you can understand how an organization like the New York Times and say you know its really not that important for us to copper these wars any. Year later out perfectly rather i got to say thank you because i think its very rare that you have someone really put all those pieces together of eloquently of your day and i hope people really Pay Attention to what you just said because its important for them to know that thank you so much for coming out of a mouth. In educating our audience as you always do its always a pleasure having you on sir. And even the asian baby turn around you guys healthy and even well youre too. Widespread protests have gripped the country of nigeria in recent weeks as activists and protesters have taken to the streets demanding an end to the Police Brutality and harassment of citizens of the african nation and they have faith that but theyre used to this and has faced at the hands of a special anti robbery squad policing unit that has been in operation since the early 1990 s. In the last 24 hours clashes between the 2 sides have resulted in chaos and reports of fatalities nigerias president now is appealing to all of his citizens for quote understanding and calm here as arties alex mahela bitch with this very complex story. Its a scene weve watched with pete around the world but it was. At least brutality and in nigeria it can lead to death according to Amnesty International at least 56. 00 people have died during 2 weeks of widespread protest including 38. 00 on tuesday that Human Rights Organization says that at least 12 of those killed on tuesday were at 2 separate gatherings where Nigerian Security forces fired upon Peaceful Protesters in the countrys largest city lagos. With a lesson many keys he says and many incidentally these are the ones that i mean it seems and i certainly didnt and then its nice that the numbers could be much higher than nigerias army has called the allegations you. Nigerians have been protesting against Police Brutality in particular they are calling for an end to special anti robbery squad or sars police unit sars was set up in the 1980 s. To tackle criminality but is accused of kidnapping torture and killing. The protests started online after an undated video showing what appeared to be sars officers attacking a man was shared widely on social media echoing the demands of nigerian protestors voices from around the world have condemned the action of Nigerian Police some of those supporting the demonstrators in the african country are average people on the streets as far away as london ah ha ha ha ha ha now i was d under fire i was others a prominent figures such as the un secretary general so its time for all countries to understand and i hope nigeria will be able to do so that police will tell you he needs to stop and those without his counsel for a fact. Of such. That emetic violence. Amid the countable and these is essentially essential everywhere although nigerias president mohammed who will hiree disbanded servers last week the protests have continued. The nigerian public has become accustomed to broken promises by the government and have taken this opportunity to campaign for wider social change the nations government is famous for corruption the country remains poor and lacking in infrastructure while billions of dollars pouring in from oil revenue so far tuesdays violent crackdown has done little to stop the protestors evidently even the most direct tony and measures are not able to silence the voice of the people are watching the hawks im alex my limits. All right as were going to remember that you can also start watching the hawks on the man with a brand new portable t. V. Which is available on all platforms coming up were joined by georgetown law professor and civil rights advocate presta mitchum to break down senator Lindsey Graham and Mitch Mcconnells latest moves to secure a Supreme Court Justice Nominee amy connie barretts a spot that most important bends and what her reign America Court would mean for equality and justice in the United States stay tuned to watching the hawks. Was abundant make no certain you know blood is just lying to nationalities. As a murder we dont do that with everybody we dont look like seem. To be. People. Judging. Comedy classes so that is the sentencing much. We can do better we should know better. Everyone is contributing each in our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created with the response has been massive so many good people are helping us. It makes us feel very proud that were in it together. You know what i mean maybe up there see it on there can be a last picture on many of us grown men not me and our 4. I kind of wear on the. Course of the now i think its higher than our. Members of the african mafias conways them safe and quick passage to europe but once they. Leave they are enslaved the country tribunal. Will not some of the libya mama not under you know if this unit can get it out to him. From the cinquera. They sold the. Lease its all on court of the import of it because the persona but i cant even. Be the normal any. One else chose seemed wrong. But old rules just dont call. Me new world yet to shape our disdain comes to educate and in gains from it equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Beginning of this year we outlined 6 or 7 things that could be the pin to pop the bubble thank god im not sure pandemic was on that list but in general doesnt really matter what the pin is the bubble could have been. Eased and deflated long ago but it never was and so now its chopping and Goldman Sachs is saying well you know this job by the way an outcome could cause a crash on the dollar baby maybe not in terms of relating to the biden whether hes in or not doesnt matter actually whos in the white house the fact is that the dollar is toast a very garbles of whos in the white house. In the brain. Is my favorite or. You are absolutely wrong part of the brain right here in the middle its on the right side with assimilated and even Healthy People one group sold out of body experience. Us President Donald Trump Supreme Court nominee amy county barrett is being fast tracked it appears that her appointment to fill the seat left vacant after the death of Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg is inevitable despite voters being just days away from president ial election day if voting patterns provide insights we know that trumps hold on the presidency and the republican hold on the senate could all in in just a matter of days. Amy connie berry is a lightning rod for the Supreme Court but not solely because shes trying to pick but because of what democrats in the majority of American Voters are calling an illegitimate process republicans are literally rushing her nomination while an election is going on and election that could likely remove both the president nominate her in the Senate Majority likely to confirm her but i mix. The bigger issue the bigger human rights issue civil rights to rights activists have with barrett is her a long history of support for organizations that unravel their progress as well as some problematic opinions it 2900 issue opinion of barretts came under fire during her confirmation hearing in the 21000 Workplace Discrimination case back found that the use of the n. Word in the workplace did not create a hostile or abusive working environment what. Barrett though is an equal opportunity offender the l. G. B. T. Q. Community speaking loudly against her and for good reason in the county barrett was formally a trustee at a private school with. Policies the school board admission of children with same sex parents and made it Crystal Clear that openly gay or lesbian teachers werent welcome in the classroom. And just a few days ago during her confirmation hearing barrett used the term sexual preference to describe the community this term has been deemed highly offensive and outdated as preference implies that Sexual Orientation is a choice this type of rhetoric has been used to advance dangerous practices like conversion therapy joining us now to unpack all of this is president preston the policy director for united for reproductive in gender equity or urge welcome preston. Thank you so much for having me well preston we always count on you to give it to us straight Amy Kone Barrett is going to be seated on the Supreme Court thats pretty much a fact at this point what does this mean for as your rights acknowledging barretts past comments and known policy stance is already deemed harmful and discriminatory by activists scholars and civil rights advocates. First of all thank you so much to be back and i am particularly nervous when it comes to judge their its nominee and ultimate cost me each process we already knew from the very beginning that its going to be a process that was rocketed through the. The Senate Judiciary committee starts a day that you know like grandma mcconnell were going to break the fast track this nomination and confirmation process next week particularly when it comes to the. We already knew how parrot was one of the last from the use of the word sexual preference and actually we didnt have someone mixed in or on l. Will correct it or just least of all on the unions and the disrespect and use of the term preference because that does indicate that theyre going back choice also allowed in their actual didnt tell you people any county barrett into the l. T. Can mean anything we are. Going to have now you know maybe up up for able to get out insurance due to the Affordable Care act which shes made it quite clear that she wants to overturn this shes also made it quite clear in my estimation that she wants to make sure going to fail is no longer a law that for sure we just stick with these dancers question. During the hearing it felt like its over well but im just we worried about what this could mean for oil its not only in the workplace but what it really means that you can bet there are civil rights and the green i think we all are and i want to ask you know with things like discrimination in the workplace specifically geared towards transgender workers can someone like a macone barrett was accepted roles limited in the rights of l g b t q individuals be trusted to rule accordance with the constitution and not her personal leanings i mean thats were really comes down to she claims are more originalist up all the constitution but can we really trust that thats what or she is going to go with this or is it going to be all personal all the time. In my view most people most of the jurors its all original its our its all in their personal view plain and simple be clear the idea of originalism untouchable ism is to meet the new White Supremacy if were talking about the actual text of the Us Constitution we know what was written for in mind why the land owners. We know were transit nonbinary people were not consider people we know all black people were not consider people and other people of color we know the history of this country we know all the history of the United States and how White Supremacy is all in and just average every single day just so when insurance tends to original i am always always ready to be on guard because right and know that that means or not or protect marginalized communities when it comes the particular question or relation to transponder people we already know that in the United States dont have a national law to protect you from employment discrimination so near as weve attempted to pass the employment under saddam an asian act in the house and the senate thats failed every single year practically and most of the chamber its might actually make things so again there arent any federal protections and thats true even with the case for slate and weve lost the county so again we need that jurors who will protect and defend the rights of marginalized communities and of course that means transgender people and we cannot depend on that person going into a very. Impressed and i know you watched the confirmation hearings as many of us did. He had a letter that was written and read during the hearings and they denounce in coming there its nomination what do you think are some of the reasons why the organization is so adamantly against her becoming the next Supreme Court justice. Because the end of a lazy pena like so many civil rights organizations understands that any honey berry it will not be your friend to people of color just as you mentioned earlier on the policy director for urging which night so we put up with gender equity so the bulk of our work is going to Reproductive Health rights and justice which includes the right to have a child the right to not how much child the right to raise the children we havent state environment and the right to not only autonomy so we can talk about what it actually looks or judge like any tom garrett can turn to the supreme or whatever but we must also discuss that in tandem with conversations around Reproductive Health care and other access to the. Your system still for people who have trees its an issue and will likely not be a friend to you its for people who actually are pregnant and may want to think abortion is here we know that shes pregnant be a friend to you and so again i cant speak its not it is important that organizations white and only 6 meet like that its a province but the one in the right like the moyers immediate other school its placed out against the nomination going on with barry again we saw from the very beginning that its going to be a rush process all this and it will break its own felt today rushing works well when there were do you remember about more of your Party President s and we know this nomination on the altar would be confirmed this upcoming days though again it problematic its personal because now stop has have to resolve anything the really fast action of Supreme Court when again in the last president ial election president obama couldnt even get one through 600 marriage arlen so this is intentional its corrupt its undemocratic and so we consistently push against the nomination of and when you care about what i want to ask you only get about a minute left and i just want jump in here is ok liz person gets assigned to the Supreme Court what is the moves that people can do what are all the moves that these groups can do to kind of push back against this person whos going to be sitting on the bench making laws. I dont ever want a lot of people just bare it will be going for a judge there will be confirmed because the democrats its not happening numbers there is a minimal things that the democrats in other people who are polled parents confirmation can do however that is not in which its up we have to call in our standards and thats true actually in battleground. States like North Carolina iowa maine alaska West Virginia in places that we know some of the standards can you trust it that much to uphold the nomination you must continually push back call our senators activate our base thats whats really important only one business is to really community so. Protected because we know were dartmouth of in the or we are new york a week after each other so always trust in community and definitely make sure always. Great things thank you so much preston for joining us always a pleasure having you on the show sir thank you very much i did on mine thank you.
