V. And say foolishness and you should work on it he had resigned and never come back because you have the example of what it says i mean its community you are heritable. Altschul that was mr gary chambers jr speaking to that school board about 2 weeks ago and as a today that member conny bernard may be out of a job so rick sanchez is joining us to expand a little further on the story and and of course you know the plight of a lot of places across this country who are asking the schools to be renamed so reckon what do we know about this missile star gary chambers. Its an interesting situation based on the fact that sometimes the most unassuming person this gentleman looks like he just had a hard day at the office or it his case probably at work these were a teacher is wearing you know faded very jeans these showing up because people listen to people who are citizens with concerns all the time but it is ability to are the pain the anger the sense that no one is listening to us that many people have not been able to think about this bill of you know ive been covering this now for what is going on 34 weeks of people essentially protesting on the streets riots confrontations with both Police Officers and so much that weve seen but rarely do we see someone going for the body and just simply say look we tried talking to you weve tried explaining this to you weve tried telling you about our history. We tried telling you of this is so painful for us and we will have a listen so you know you want to listen we dont want to go in the streets and protest we dont want to knock things down or destroy property but it seems to be the only way that you respond so this man stands up and says youre going to build ringback it in our community were 81 percent of the community is africanamerican a high school and named after a confederate general think about what youre doing d and maybe he points out that this one woman that you mention in this in this column that are just playing it right ive heard its sitting there shopping online yeah this is your head is explaining how angry and other citizens are as well so i think what does this goes to is this conversation that we need to have its about a state like louisiana which is one of the poorest in the entire country and are now on now one of the lowest in education i think rex 49 percent yes. And yet so here are many africanamericans saying in our community where we live many a slew of folks who happen to be for the most part not africanamerican and doing very well and the middle class and doing badly but then you have us a little bit this is what this is what we find out in further conversations that weve heard in interviews and you know so in their Community Every single street is named after a confederate general and elgin crosstree give a talent is called are you ready for this manila. One more. Maybe thats a very unfortunate naming rick but i mean. We what do we know about this condi bernard woman scuse me shes that School Board Member she was shopping online so disrespectful as this man this parrot because its not like random people go to the School Board Meetings i mean clearly that man somebody whose parent that has to hes africanamerican has to drop his kid off at school at robert e.

That we d can better understand each other exactly and thats the beauty of what we want you and i drive you every day and we just want you to let it was we got to listen to people thats a beautiful thing rick sanchez thank you so much for calling this to our attention to highlight this this kind of heartwarming heart with a touching story thank you so much.

Cold and they were dead for like 3 days holding each other this wall so people who have lost their lifes early to addition yeah this is from akron. That crown is better known as the meth capital and im high and its a city where the number of drug addicts keeps growing every year. I came across 14 in my whole family were drug addicts who. Throughout much of the 1990 s. And beyond and the doctors were incursion in some cases incentivized to overprescribe. I mean enough to sedate a small country why you should also hear about people buy all that stuff man we gotta go get em dead go crazy get you much you know when you do it. And they are still coming you know one after the next. Unilateral Police Station of occupied territory is evil under International Law but this is exactly what Israel Intends to do when it comes to the west bank on this edition of the program we discussed flying israel is doing this International Reaction in the state of the fall asleep. A bipartisan bill introduced. Republican senator rand paul and democrat senator tom udall moving to finally end the nearly 20 year war in afghanistan was struck down by lawmakers last night overwhelmingly 60. 00 to 33. 00 the paul udall amendment would have also repealed the 2001 a u m f that has been used to justify various military action all around the world now over and the house the Armed Services committee unanimously 56 to 0 approved a mammoth defense policy bill to give over 740000000000. 00 to the National Defense authorization act as the wars in the middle east continue one young face is seeking to change how we train our soldiers so lets bring in our panel to discuss former pentagon official Michael Maloof is joining us along with investigative journalist and boom bust cohost ben swan so mike i will start with you does this come as any surprise to you that the senate voted down the paul you doll bill to finally end the war. Absolutely not and its been its been used over some 3 dozen times more than 3 dozen times over the years ever since 911. 00 and its basically our license to kill and it anywhere in the world and its been invoked for. Means and purposes well beyond going into afghanistan and i would add that the authorization for the use of force or the a u. M. S. Or its as its called is is has been not only not only that has been used but also the war of the president s authority under the article 2 of the constitution so theyve been used interchangeably over these times to give the u. S. That authority and where you have all qaeda or even any whistle or any group associated with al qaida including isis or taleban. Then its gone. B. Then that is our authorization to go ahead and use it now that the problem that im seeing is that the possible use and application of the a u. M. S. Toward iran and its a stretch to say that they have a link to al qaeda but they do have a link to tell us so this is a problem that. I wouldnt doubt that the administration will try to win votes if it sees fit to do something in the toward toward iran and whats scary is thats all coming on the heels this vote is coming on the heels of russia gate to point out that thats a little bit frightening than it was a basically a bipartisan approval to keep this who are going then so lets talk about money how much has been sent into afghanistan and how much more stands to go that way. Well so far were talking about dollars were talking about just under one trillion dollars thats trillion with a t one trillion dollars now for the war on terror just for the war in afghanistan but theres so much more to it than that because were talking about 20000. 00 plus u. S. Soldiers who have been injured in combat there were talking about 2300. 00 u. S. Soldiers men and women who have died on the combat field of afghanistan and for what manila for the ability for the taliban to be as strong today as they were 18 years ago to have as much control of the country as they did 18 years ago we have sunk in not only treasure and lives but we also have an extended cost Going Forward for to taking care of all these men and women who suffer from traumatic brain injuries p. T. S. D. And physical injuries as a result of this war having said all of that you just alluded to it i have to say its amazing to listen to lawmakers right now who are freaking out over this unsubstantiated story that russia is paying for bounties on u. S. Soldiers and when you have the chance to bring those soldiers home from afghanistan you decide to keep them in harms way keep. Im on a battlefield where more of them will die but at the same time you want some kind of further action against russia because you think they might be harming u. S. Soldiers youre the ones harming u. S. Soldiers right not only are you keeping them there but that to me alludes that maybe theres no real beef to that story but thats a whole different story that we should discuss another time i want to stick with with whats going on here with the math you know its a post 911. Its been continually renewed time after time and used to bomb more than a dozen countries for various reasons like like mike said you get a whiff of something lets go bomb them mike why does congress criticize trump but then they go and vote to allow american attack on to continue in other countries. Yeah i think the reason is that they dont want to tie the hands of the president and his authority to act in Foreign Policy there are waivers instilled in the in these things and also its been modified the a us meth has been modified over time through various defense of Defense Authorization bill to give the president even more authority. One of the 7 best 40 for example is. A mess on steroids and its it allows the president to do to do what he did against the salami in iraq or to go into syria and and as and i think that its they dont want to be able to harm the president otherwise in terms of Foreign Policy and to act otherwise hell veto that bill yeah and i could just say very quickly they do want to tie the president s hands if the president decides that he wants to in the war or to come home so its very interesting to watch how Congress Acts on all this because with the a with mikes absolutely correct the goal here is to say yeah you can declare war basically unilaterally anywhere in the world that you want and you can declare everything as being essentially war on terror but while were fighting al qaeda in one country were funding them in another country like we did in syria or in libya but the other point is if you are a president who says no its time to come home youre going to see members of both parties and that military Industrial Complex work overtime to tie your hands to to basically smear you attack you and it throw every obstacle in your way to prevent you from actually bringing troops home so the one way they want to tie your
