The Nuclear Weapons complex that many of our politicians are so eager to feed to get and its not just washington feeding the most dangerous of beasts according to a new report by the International Campaign to abolish nuclear Nuclear Weapons and titled schools of mass destruction new american universities and the u. S. Nuclear weapons complex nearly 50 u. S. Universities are involved in the research and design of u. S. Nuclear weapons largely in secret and in contradiction of their Schools Mission statements my friends the tentacles of the beast run deep which is why we must always be watching us. Like that. Well tomorrow on watching the hawks i am tyrrel them for joining us very brave back to back Panel Discussions or Investigative Journalism r t america correspondent and the tag team of our team america Sports Coverage regina ham and steve. You all for joining us today later well be getting into a fascinating discussion of the status of collin capper nick but i want to start today with the impeachment circus taking place in the house you have democratic president ial primary heating up and going insane and social media playing such a vital and wonderful beautiful role in our National Dialogue in washington washington d. C. I have to ask do you feel is this the best of times for us politics or is it the worst of times for us politics or somewhere in between what you feel well look its a clown show at this point to me we all know how broken the political system in america is theres no question about that and weve known its been broken for some time the problem of what were seeing right now though is that its gone to an entirely different level where no ones even vying anymore to get to persuade or to draw anyone else in these ridiculous moments on television where everyone talks about somber moments of the nation lets all pray and hold hands and and this idea that everyones taking this so seriously and its absolute lunacy and heres what i think is the most interesting thing theres a report out today that says of people who are watching whats going on with the impeachment that virtually 100 percent of the public watching says that they will not change their minds it does not matter what they see so if youre over here on the right cam youre say im going to believe the president no matter what and if youre on the left side youre saying i believe in the democrats no matter what and what were ignoring is that about half of the electorate and are no longer affiliated republican or democrat anymore and those in the people who have been left out who are trying to turn this thing out and say i just want to be a part of it all because its not the system totally destroyed at this point it was the worst it can be your what if it seems like political theater at this point. I mean a lot of people tend to talk about sports as being like a circus but to me i look at politics as i typically focus on sports but when i look at the politics aspect with impeachment it seems like from what ive heard if this even makes it to the senate theyve said to be dead on arrival so whats the point at this point it seems like the trickle forms and i have to agree with you both its become really a circus its all youre hearing is really sound bites everywhere and theres just too much information and not involve enough information there is no one side thats saying again just like ben said you know if im a republican im against this whole entire circus show if im a democrat you know the president trying hes wrong he should be removed from power so it is just its really just become crazy. Into something that seems that actually so i would actually revise something i said i call it a circus but i actually say its a sport thats actually whats taken place is that politics and you can actually think c. N. N. For this more than anyone else because jeff zucker when he took over at c. N. N. And explicitly said that he wanted to cover politics the way that sports are covered now if you look at where we are a few years after that thats literally whats happening right were where when you watch a sporting event you dont care how you win you just care about winning and winning is what works right its not about right and wrong its about winning losing thats what weve devolved to with politics its not about right and wrong at this point its literally about winning and losing im really excited to see what fantasy leagues are rising because a lot of this isnt really exciting about showers as having their you know Donald Trump Team verses who you know is nancy pelosi team and its interesting because i think when it comes to sports as well you want people to watch you want to have that that moment so having it Speaker Pelosi go up and announce theyre doing the impeachment in the house that was the moment thats how people got interested thats how people started watching so then youre going to tune in youre going to want to watch it like you have a saving game to win the capitals on the stanley cup everybody watch that even if youre not a hockey fan youre going to watch the rest of series you like i want another one i want to its almost an adrenaline rush for people and thats a politics has become its almost become like a drug. Or we need the next breaking news the net need next headline we need to be entertained you know speaking of adrenaline rushes of fear i want to jump over to what i talked about earlier with the universities now you know with this new list coming out of showing watch which u. S. Universities are truly complicit in the Nuclear Weapons complex in this country the United States and this is an amazing number the United States is currently engaging in this kind of renewed Nuclear Arms Race that weve seen kind of a little bit started under obama really ratcheted up were spending nearly 100000. 00 a minute of taxpayer money the reinvigoration in the upgrade of our Nuclear Weapons arsenal according to this i can report you have 50 universities have signed formal agreements with millions even billions of dollars with this industry to manage your partner with Nuclear Weapons development and production sites oftentimes going directly against their Mission Statements john Hopkins Mission statement says and theyre one of the biggest perpetrators of this you can see the map right there those are all the universities tied into all of this john Hopkins Mission statement says it includes to bring the benefits of discovery to the world how can you bring benefits of discovery to the world when youre spending all of your time helping coordinate the building of Nuclear Weapons is that even possible for these universities to try to do plays both sides of this. Well i jump into it and i think that that this is kind of systemic of what were seeing across the Big Education complex that we have built in this country right now which is essentially selling themselves for any kind of Research Grants they can possibly get whats interesting is that if you dig into that report a little bit from i can you find that not only do we have a massive number of universities that are taking money to do this research but that students who are involved in this are immediately getting high paying jobs when they come out and so its become a system where well theres a lot of criticism right now of kind of the College System in general where you say well these people pay for big degrees they spend years. They get this money they have all this debt and then theres no job for them this is a particular area where there is a high paying job waiting for you on the other side so it feels like in many ways its bribery at its worst you talk about the things we want to talk about you research how we want you to research and you give us the kind of p. R. That we want and in exchange we give you Big Development and your students make money when they get out. And i want to add to this that you know a partnership between universities and the u. S. Government and developing any kind of research and development in Nuclear Weapons is actually nothing new when this started back during world war 2 when during what they call the Manhattan Project which really started started the building of Nuclear Bombs and thats because it was through los alamos laboratories in new mexico with direct partnership with the university of california that they develop Nuclear Weapons so this is actually nothing new now the only difference is is that now much of the universities are keeping this as classified information from students and faculty members so the students and faculty members arent actually aware that these university are getting such a big grand such a big support from the u. S. Government in terms of to get any kind of research or development to work with this industry but surprising and interesting enough a new report came out by the n. R. C. A couple of months ago the Nuclear Regulatory commission and about 30 percent of their workforce is going to be retiring now these are society were talking about scientists here so whos going to be taking their place its going to be exact programs and grants that theyre providing to these universities in these exact industry that theyre hoping they will play and was dangerous too is that you know when you look back at the sixtys thats where a lot of protest against Nuclear Weapons really came out of was the campuses of universities and things like that but now if your university is tied into this and i mean when you look at the list of universities that are involved were talking michigan were talking for do were talking notre dame were targeted. Wisconsin but i mean its across the country. And it will to i was going to say to go off both your points to keep up with the Nuclear Arms Race of these Major Research into institutions will do anything to you know keep to basically keep up a relationship with the state right so these kids coming in there need to be more transparency as you said because they are 1819 year olds can be easily taken advantage of and manipulated not necessarily knowing that theyre building and designing some of the most Deadly Weapons on earth so you know they were mad at us for a look it almost as a Bigger Picture the act the Education System as a whole that were being put in debt were meeting these high paying jobs to pay off said that so were not living in cardboard boxes or our parents basements for the next 1015 years and its almost like were overlooking the ethics of it we dont care because at the end of the day this system is so flawed we need to have that breach of ethics we need to have that lack of transparency and able to the star and you kill our arms everybody enjoys having a gassed and to go home and so you know quit being able to put up the map again just going 2nd because i think whats whats significant about this too is the number of universities that are involved in that were going to go when you have that many universities as you that much grant money going to me that looks like more than just an issue of saying we need the best of the brightest it looks to me like you are spreading out across and some of these universities Like University of new mexico or texas tech and these are big universities. Where you are almost as i see it creating a p. R. Machine if you tire of this many universities major universities doing research for you what universities are doing the research right now that is anti Nuclear Weapons where those programs being developed and that may be in some very small small ones but when youre funding that to this height a lot of times when journalists or even politicians draw conclusions based on information they go back to a University StudyUniversity Study shows this or proves this and i think thats part of what theyre doing here that is really interesting the p. R. Game. In the because you know what what campus lets see if your campus is making a bit of a 1000000000. 00 or multiple hundreds of millions of dollars off this what campus is going to then allow Nuclear Power program. You dont protest to rage at that at that moment in time was like well were making money off this will just keep you guys quiet and we already have a problem with free speech being silenced on universities right now so its going to be interesting to see how this story develops all right as we go to break caulk watchers dont forget to let us know what you think of the topics we cover the social media be sure to check out the hawks the podcast with able and spotify albums you can everywhere do this in the podcast coming up the n. F. L. Is invited collin kaplan it back on the field but is there more than meets the eye our panel discussing this next to you watching. Your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know whats going to happen and when its going to. But they havent told you and they havent told me they havent announced. Imagine something as big as the earth. Is going to cost. Earthquakes volcanoes. And its going to tell. So were right. My great grandfathers. Nobody would care about the law or prison so youd have lawlessness should have. A terrible life between now and the. Its seemed wrong. To me. Just to shape our disdain you cant get educated and engagement because betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground. Welcome back all right hauke watchers it appears that after just over a 1000 shopping days the National Football league looks to be opening its doors to crack to potentially let back in the free speech wielding n. F. L. Ostracized quarterback collin capper nick the ringer is now reporting that despite the circumstances still being a bit of a mystery the n. F. L. Asked him to work out in front of the leagues power brokers and that according to League Sources all 32 teams were sent the memo on tuesday stating that a private workout would be held for cap and rick in atlanta this saturday on wednesday afternoon capper nick tweeted out he was delighted coming back into a league that essentially forced him out for taking a knee in solidarity with the black lives Matter Movement during the playing of the National Anthem at a games with katherine tweeting im just getting word from my representatives that the n. F. L. League Office Reached out to them about a workout in atlanta on saturday ive been in shape and im ready for this for 3 years cant wait to see the had coaches and g. M. s on sunday so my panel what does the future hold for the civil rights and free speech icon and is the n. F. L. Actually serious about wanting cabernet to come back in a uniform what i think ill start with you see well i got to say when i 1st heard about this as a football fan and a fan of fairness i was excited to see him get a shot and then the more i thought about it and read into it you know it does seem like somewhat of a sham possibly and a little bit fishy because theres a lot of murky details 1st of all the short notice its on saturday which is only what 4 or 5 days before typically free agents get the workouts on tuesday when teams want to look at them and right now theyre not really seen it 1st its going to close the media thats another aspect of it thats kind of odd 2nd of all theyre not releasing an official list of the teams attending however there are teams who have said they are. And confirmed it but the n. F. L. Wont release that list and theres no defined throwing script typically quarterbacks on a pro day which this is basically his own individual combine or pro d day they get to define their own script they know who their receivers and running backs will be he doesnt know any of this so its a little its a dog and pony show is exactly what it is and you set it out the n. F. L. Is hosting the league itself is hosting for this event theyre putting it on they are having the controlled explosion troll experiment really is what it is where setting the conditions where telling you what teams are coming giving it such short notice it is 11 weeks into the season and now all of a sudden like you know what now is a really good time to have him come in normally if youre having a pro day for any player youre kicker is really terrible need find you when you do it like steve said tuesday wednesday when you youre done for the week your games are over for the week you dont just spring this on teams 24 hours before games start with a no idea of whats going on no idea even whos going to how how its going to be run it is completely a sham and i think theyre setting him up to fail and its kind of interesting too because according to cavernous representatives only had 2 hours right to to let the league know whether or not they wanted to do this after they were asked about it but you know look. Teams dont want calling kaepernick and then thats part of the problem here of why the n. F. L. Would be asking teams to show up and the like these guys are saying you know on a saturday when theres games on sunday so a lot of the high reps are not going to be there anyways most of the teams that were contacted by the ringer said we didnt even know about it so why they would even do this makes no sense it feels like the n. F. L. Spent 5 minutes without a scandal 5 minutes without putting their foot in their mouth and then said you know what weve got to do something
