Transcripts For RT Watching The Hawks 20240712

Of Master Sergeant trevor de boer who 1st deployed to afghanistan back in 2002 and recently told stars and stripes quote when we started this people asked why i was going and my response was so my sons dont have to fight this war well through no fault of Master Sergeant aboard that mission has clearly failed as his son payton slopes has now is also served in afghanistan even at the very same Forward Operating base that his father served at this never ending war has even outlasted the New York Times special at war a section dedicated to covering it the times of war editor Loren Katzenberg took to twitter to announce that the paper will be ending its at war forum pointedly commenting that there are fewer and fewer spaces that exist to examine the experiences of war and the toll theyve taken on both americans and the citizens of other nations for whom the cost of recent conflicts is almost insurmountable yet too often forgotten. And that my friends is why when it comes to americas war there was only deafening silence on the campaign trail because war in this country has become a permanent part of the United States experience now lets start watching the hawks. If you want to know whats going on a city street you want to. Listen to what she says see the prizes you always stay ill see you always strikes mass graves suggests least systemic deception is the late show which would bring up the job as. Well carmona watching the clock so i am Tyrol 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 resigned from your post about ghana stand with the u. S. Department of state over the continued escalation of the Afghanistan War in your worst nightmares the driver imagined that war would now become a multigenerational one. No it makes you have me on my mind you figure it is i would i would know enough. What is going to come up and. I also didnt expect to be here in years now i still talking about actually 11 years you know talking about the want us no no no idea that its be a little multigenerational the ending you you spoke of earlier around about the soldier who you know. My sons know now you know i remember. Here you know the back when i got to rock you can. Buy it of course now the wars are just not a rock in afghanistan they literally are wrong on the part of the land you know mali nigeria all the way. Pakistan in the last 40 years or so to this question left leaners is not there been very few nations that have not been affected by war by refugee crisis by chaos by. And this is all with all of you with policy and bad. Really for 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 when wasnt years so 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 the generation the worst youve got the mass suffering and the trauma that you know just really we lost generational lines and its something that you know i dont see an end to it a time soon again for the 1000000 people thats. Western africa or the way the path. 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 i think the least there is members toward these wars in afghanistan many times in a negative opinion of the war saying that these wars have not been worth fighting out. Of the general public the more active Duty Service Members and more veterans are saying these wars are not fighting civilians are ending the civilian category we 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. Order the lineage and you know let me think 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. Neat absence of things to be proud of and. Well find that in the list there 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 except of 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 just get into much bigger issues right guys. The idea that. In hollywood and the arms industry. Are all owned by the bank that owns 90 percent of the s. And p. 500. 00. Really these wars to me are election 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 the principle shareholders in the Weapons Company and theyre the principal shareholders in the fossil fuel industry and the principal 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 bills 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 of United States 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 its interesting in how all these industries are tied together by the state 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 the copper wars any you know i laid out perfectly rather i got to say thank you because i think its very wearable you up 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. And educating our audience as you always do its always a pleasure having you on sir. Thank you emission taking time 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 heat 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 the 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 echo. Demands of nigerian protesters 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 gaddafi was under fire was hers 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 if he needs to stop and those without his counsel for a fact. Of such. An 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 for the 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 on that most important bands and what her reign america would mean for equality and justice in the United States stay tuned for watching the hawks. And other financials and i will today was all about Money Laundering 1st to visit this campus in the 3 different. Oh this is a good start well we have our 3 banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas it became an island it will hold these banks are complicit in the kleptocracy you decide to give mccall and say hey im ready to do some serious Money Laundering ok lets see how we did while weve got a nice laundry watch for max and for stacey old beautiful jewelry and how about. Bill again from that you know what money you want to hire you know dont be a flood watch guys record. Secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived within the 0 zone there were 2 view houses were. Preserved were located and the only people had access to the story investigators covered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. For justice. U. S. 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 barry is a lightning rod for the Supreme Court but not solely because shes trying to pick up 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 in election that could likely remove both the president nominate her in the Senate Majority likely to confirm her but i think its. 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 bairds came under fire during her confirmation hearing in the 29000 Workplace Discrimination case bear found that the use of the in word in the workplace did not create a hostile or abusive working environment. Barrett though is an equal opportunity offender. 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 pression 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 usual he writes 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 for inviting me back and i am particularly nervous when it comes to judge their its nominee and all from a confirmation process we already knew from the very beginning that its going to be a process that was rocketed screw the Senate Judiciary committee and started day that you know like graham im on a were going to break the fast track this nomination and confirmation process next week particularly when it comes to the ultimate. We already knew how perilous a deal was from the use of the word sexual preference and actually we have someone mixed in our own will will correct it or just least in the discourse use of the term preference because the. Better choice is also allowed. To people in the county barrett into the ultimate community we are. Going to have now you know maybe up a very able to get out insurance student we have horrible care act which shes made it quite clear that she wants to overturn this shes also made it quite clear in my. The nation that she wants to make sure going to fail is no longer a law that for sure be just what these dancers questioned. During the hearing it felt like its over but im deeply worried about what this could mean for all its not only the workplace but what it really means that we can bet there are civil rights and agreeing 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 beret who was accepted roles limiting 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 im 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 d most of the jurors its all the original is are its all in your 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 8 land owners we know were trans and nary people were not consider people we know all black people were not considered people in other people of color we know the history of this country we know all the history of the United States and how White Supremacy its all been and just average every single day so when insurance tends to original i am always always d ready to be on guard because i know that things are not for tech marginal last minute east 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 or mean hundreds from a nation 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 are several protections and thats true. Even with the case that slate in weve lost the county so again we need the 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 we get into a very. Impressed and i know you watch 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 a friend to people of color just as you mentioned earlier on the policy director for urging which not so we put up with gender equity so the bulk of our work is not 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 have been saved environment and the right to part of the autonomy so we can talk about what it actually means for a judge like any tom garrett to be concerned to the supreme or whatever but we must also discuss that in tandem with conversations around Reproductive Health care and other access to the Health Care System so for people who have trees its an addition and will likely not be a friend to us for people who actually are pregnant and they want to. Know that shes pregnant be a friend to you and so again i cant speak is not it is important that organizations white and only 6 meet like to loose a province but that want their rights like the moyers immediate other to continue its place out against the nomination going on there it again we saw from the very beginning that its going to be a rush process all this and it will break its only the day rushing works well when there were do you remember about more of your Party President s and we know this nomination on the ultimate would be confirmed this upcoming days though again it problematic its personal because now thats have to resolve many things the really fast track should have supreme. Or when again in the last president ial election president obama couldnt even get one through and America Arlen so this is intentional its corrupt its undemocratic and so we need to insist that we push against the nomination of and on and that why i want to ask you we got about a minute left and i just want to jump in here is ok this 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 judge barrett will be confirmed judge there will be confirmed because the democrats its not happening numbers there is a minimal thing that the democrats in other people who are all parents confirmation can do however that does not mean that we have to call in our standards and thats true actually in battleground states like North Carolina iowa alaska West Virginia in places that we know some of the standards to be trust that much to uphold the nomination we must continually push back call our senators activate our base thats whats really important will be this know its really really unity protected because we know regardless of when the or we are who we are who we cast at each other there are always trust in community and definitely make sure always contactors are 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. Art of what it was our show for you today were in this world we are not told that we are loved enough so i tell you all love you.
