as the sixth branch of the united states military in order to secure an extended american dominance of the space domain because like the great southern border wall somewhere somehow our president. truly believes that what us citizens truly want what we truly crave is more ways for the united states to spend our harder and tax dollars on things that we don't actually need but fear not mr president because if we've learned anything from the voting history of our lovely united states congress when it comes to the pentagon it's a very hands off style of governing so your great space force were more than likely become a reality which should scare the hell out of us given the current state of the war on terror which stephanie saval the co-director of the cost of war project of brown university observed this week has now reached eighty different countries around the world and has resulted in the loss conservatively estimated of almost half

a million lives in iraq and afghanistan and pakistan alone and that by the end of two thousand and nineteen the one global war in terror will cost american taxpayers no less than five point nine trillion dollars already spent and in commitments to caring for veterans of the war throughout their lifetimes. from the insanity of the war on terror to the truly insanity of the of taking that war into space there is no excuse anymore not to be watching the hawks. that's. what. they like that i got. was that we. would. be.

welcome aboard the watching the hawks i am i robot and i'm. not very excited about. yes that's like a kid with a toy. multibillion dollar toy because we bought as anyone. but yeah it just kind of feels like something kids come up with and don't really think through it's not a. it's a most ridiculous thing this idea of dominance straight up what we want to be dominant why should we why is that or why does it have to be dominant. many different countries. and you know when you see the past. we're currently living in the failure of the global war on terror nothing about the war has worked

since we were promised that back when. bush launched it after nine eleven nothing about the war. why should we now trust that we can. honestly run have a new branch of military in space and somehow that's going to run smoothly and not cost. both soldiers and civilians that's all going to happen. the mission. the space. brand the pentagon and. in the statement that it will be our responsibility to be their responsibility. in the space space. which will organize military space. multiple. takes in and masters literally like a doctorate in certain kinds and engineering and certain kinds of science to go up

into space so why are we so we're just going to get random people and we're going to go up there with. yeah the marines out of against the alien to a bunch of times that didn't work out that well also the cost when you look at those you know when you think about the war on terror this is just another empty hole i feel like they were going to put into i mean when last last september air force secretary heather wilson said in a memo that the idea that caustic just that a stablish in this space for is just establishing it will cost some thirteen billion dollars over a five year period and here's the deal congress has to approve any new branch of the military yes they do that's the thing i think we have a president who thinks i'm in charge of the military get to do whatever i want that's not how it works there are there are checks and balances and i don't think congress is going to approve that i hope they don't get with their past history of just kind of handing over if it has a military anywhere near the top of the bill it's going to hear your stamp here you know that scares me but i do also see what you're saying that they might stop

a book i want to i want to show you this stuff because this is everybody at home because this is truly frighteningly sobering about the war on terror which we rarely talk about you know we rarely talk about how huge it is here's a map covering the scope of the current u.s. war on terror take a look at this the u.s. is operating in roughly eighty countries around the globe that includes forty forty countries with lilypad bases that means your bases they can launch operations from sixty five of those countries creature either u.s. counterterrorism training of foreign troops twenty six of those eighty feature u.s. military exercises fourteen of those countries are where u.s. troops are actually in live come back and seven of those countries are active you know air and drone strike countries eighty countries around the world that is truly that's truly frightening and it presents a terrible image of us it's militaristic national yes and you can see it you can hide it up in anything of oh it does this great job to create it creates work for

people all of us it is then it's not if there's something not quite right about. militaristic nationalism this idea that our military is what makes us strong is also what we've seen in totalitarian governments and really bad regimes throughout of using that set look at our great military and william j. a story actually observed on antiwar dot com about the sad reality is this quote u.s. military troops and military contractors weapons dealers have become america's chief missionaries are ambassadors our diplomats our aid workers even our quote unquote peace corps we've become a one dimensional country all military all the time and quite frankly it's time to stop. leaves. the next time you go for a trim a shave a fistful of breasts make sure you tip your cosmetologist or barber because chances are they're swimming in school of that and they're struggling to pay it according to u.s. part of labor in twenty seventeen the median pay for hairdressers hairstyles and

cosmetologist was a mere twenty four thousand nine hundred dollars per year average hourly salaries topped in at a leavened dollars and ninety seven cents which is what sparked a reporter's meredith colander and sara the true mounts of the hushing are reported to investigate the inequality and lack of protections for those in the beauty industry specifically in iowa where they found was that the state regulated school system for cosmetology licensing is dominated by privately funded schools that are more than willing to take a student's money while leaving them on equipped to make a living regulation seems to be at the heart of it first while most states require one thousand to fifteen hundred hours of training to be certified iowa requires twenty one hundred and the schools take advantage of this by making students work a large portion of these honors in the schools to launch not only for no pay or no tips but students have to pay to work and not so long and as well as vegas attorney leon greenberg put it without the revenue coming from those salons most of these

schools would be profitable or it would be marginal but the iowa cosmetology school association puts the blame squarely on students saying quote we have students graduating with minimal debt because they made wise choices which makes one wonder why there is so much regulation for students and future workers while private schools reap the profits leaving students broke and undertrained twenty one thousand dollars to get a cosmetology degree you know the lives of those who learned how to do this in ohio or iowa have you seen the haircuts of iowans this doesn't match the money. seriously well this is. i think when you look at it. right it's very odd to sort of figure out where because when you look at someplace new york new york city new york state has some of the lowest it's less than a thousand hours to be certified and so it's not a matter of what works where. one of the things are spend arizona

arizona we've talked to some people from there that are trying to loosen restrictions a little bit because people have it like in arizona you have to be licensed even to blow dry someone's hair in a salon or brush it so like assistants have to be fully certified but they make very little money which is why you have a lot of these people and the problem is and one of the things the governor and asked for less regulation senator michel a gentle scottsdale had in arizona had put it this way as she put it we don't have a chef's license i think what could go wrong if you prepare food incorrectly so think about this has to do with licensing it's a lot of you know people are being. that's how these are the licensing regulations but if you're going to make a license for someone who prepares food why do you need twenty one hundred hours for someone who cuts your hair that's a really good observation and that's kind of one of those. things we have in this country were a lot of laws or a lot of the customs we have to set up really offset each other don't make sense

and recreate problems like this i mean the median hourly wage for for barbers as of may twenty seventh team was twelve dollars and thirty three cents an hour i mean hairdressers those guys polled eleven ninety five less than a barber do more work right because the farmers only cut hair they're not coloring hair they're not doing they're not expected this isn't a barber not expected to do manicures and all of these things with your you know being read to cosmetologist you need all of that stuff was. drowning in debt for you know doing something that clearly takes a passion and is a good job to have and also it's a good secondary job if you try. something bigger is atrocious right and here's the thing it's something that does require a skill but it's something that if you're going to be require that much reg regulation and that much licensing then you should have an option a public college option available or public training option available not only private schools and that's where one of the problems says is because in iowa

there's this weird little rule that you can't public publicly funded businesses can't compete with privately funded businesses so they won't let the cosmetology association keeps fighting the public school in tech school systems that they shouldn't have things and there that are more for be making more affordable for people and one of those this is international college they run about six or seven of the whole state only has about twenty seven of these beauty schools they run six or seven of them and in twenty six and they were investigated by the iowa attorney general's office and what they found was a whole bunch of really bad business and not treating the students in these customers they were done that so they pleaded no contest which essentially means they wanted but they agree that they can't prove very didn't do it they're not they can't prove they're innocent so what they pled no guess is good to forgive over two million dollars in school student loan debt and pay the state over five hundred thousand dollars in fines each of the two owners had to do twenty five thousand

dollars in fines but one thing that they are barred from doing is requiring students to recruit customers and or sell product to receive credit or pay the school for clients so they're starting to kind of go in there but i think there needs to be a public school option for people because twenty thousand dollars in debt is just not doable for most working class people or you're going to pay that off making love a ninety five hour this is not going to happen the student were there because of a problem called g. or major you know was huge you know we learned his story and it was another i don't know how to be affordable is actually for a working class. skilled job like most stuff we couldn't agree more art is going to break talk watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of topics to cover and facebook twitter and you tube and see our poll so that our teeth dot com coming up we welcome jack ally jackson and jesse jackson jr to discuss her new book on the physical but the spiritual toll the u.s.

prison industrial system has on prisoners and the families stay to watch of the office. with make this manufacture consent to step into the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round be the one percent. in the whole middle of the room six. million real news is really.

just made the source people biased you could see the slimes you want to smear the focus on domestic abuse that he's the one. you see in the film which now does pretty close to the most good movie the. brother will usually lasts. you know my little. boy. you haven't seen her yet in that. i would disagree with you in terms of what obama has done personally i think he has not done enough i think in syria for example in two thousand and thirteen when

there was a threat and we knew that the assad regime was about to use of chemical weapons on a wide scale lucky has done in. the obama administration should have responded with force and eliminate the couple still the syrian regime jews helicopters and other if forced to drop that it bombs on the. political activists journalists and us prisoner move media jamal once stated that prison is a second by second assault on the soul a day to day degradation of the self and oppressive steel and brick umbrella that

transforms seconds into hours hours and days currently there are an estimated two point two million souls incarcerated in jails and prisons across the united states in fact if the amount of people locked up in the us were a city it would be the fifth largest city in the country behind new york los angeles chicago and houston but what isn't represented often forgotten in these staggering statistics is the incredible amount of suffering inflicted on not just the two point two million prisoners but the unknown numbers of family and friends connected to them author equal rights activist and mother jacqueline l. jackson who is also the wife of fame civil rights activist jesse jackson knows firsthand the effects of losing a family member to the prison system. when her son jesse jackson jr was sentenced to thirty six months behind bars in her new book loving you thinking of you don't forget to pray letters to my son in prison she reveals to the reader a collection of earth letters and thought she shared with their son in order to help him survive and overcome his time behind the wall but jack liner son jesse

joins us now from chicago to discuss her new book and the real effect prison has on the people and communities that reaches into welcome jacqueline and jaffe thank you for joining us. thank you thank you thank you so much for having this joke about i want to i want to start with you what part of this or or do you all that you your sort of your family went through was the catalyst for inspiring you to share these really really personal or very brilliant correspondences in with the public sure and what the world what what was the inspiration for wanting to share. well first let me thank you for having us on this program today i was a little embarrassed when my son told me after reading them again once he returned from prison that he wanted to publish a small book and present it to me for my birthday after reading the book he and some young ladies down in north carolina got together and said it's we should share

this with the rest of the world so they started out with a self published book but the demands were so exciting they made an offer to. a company skyhorse and they said they wanted to publish it for me and i'm very excited to share this private. experience with those who suffer as i did and that's a whole still families my son went to prison for nonviolent crime. he. and my concern is that nonviolent. i should. be considered the expression when you have talented young people that these people we need to find another way to resolve. the issue of punishment could agree more. just see how important is that correspondence with with the outside to

someone on the inside trying to survive this these sentences was there any resistance. or fear in having that kind of interaction with your mother while serving us that. they once again thank you for having us. besides the embarrassment the humiliation. that i thought in my heart that i brought my family to shame the blame the guilt the resentments and all of their grants i think that's how most people into the penal system they know that they're leaving their wives and their families behind and i was actually in a very very dark place the media had camped out in front of my mother's home they camped out in front of my home and quite frankly i couldn't wait to go to jail i went to jail in fact a day early because i was just overwhelmed by the amount of attention i wanted to be abandoned i didn't want people to constantly remind me of what i had done and

how i had done it but when i got to prison i met many men who were going through the exact same emotional process the shame the blame the guilt the embarrassment the humiliation and i wanted my mother to just leave me alone i wanted her to abandon me and at about four o'clock every day for the thirty six months that i was in prison. at mail call the guard would say jackson jackson jackson and all of the men would gather as if they were waiting for correspondents to come but i was the only one that they were that was receiving letters and i would watch their heads drop and their spirits become despondent so i started reading my letters to the entire into the tire population listen let me tell you what my mother had to say today and they all became part of the family and i got the wall most wonderful gift the other day when an inmate that i served time with sent me a copy a picture on facebook of him holding the book reminiscing upon the letters that my

mother sent us that lifted all of our spirits and incredible gift and i'm glad that you did that for your fellow inmates because i i personally think that you know prisons or should not be but person it should be about rehabilitation it should be that kind of thing that tragically has taken a different turn because many would argue that prisoners are there to be punished for their crimes you know why should we care about their families what or their mental or spiritual well being behind bars i want to hear what you both you know your opinions of that kind of argument it's all about punishment rather than rehabilitation because many believe that very strongly. tyrrel once we do with the judge says do or in the case in my case accepting responsibility offering a plea so as i can save the taxpayers money and not take my family through that which i accepted responsibility for and did or even following the obligations of what the jury says do once we do with the judge says do the time is served we should reenter society as whole human beings and quite frankly forgiven there

really shouldn't be felon ization in the life liberty and happiness system and coming out of that system for as tabitha said the two point two million souls that are presently in corporate course are incarcerated and the sixty eight million men and women in our country who have paid their debt to society i'm going to do everything within my power to fight for their forgiveness they should be they should be pardoned they should be granted forgiveness their records should be. claimed if they in fact if they have in fact accepted responsibility for their behavior and healthy societies are created with families and institutions not just individuals so we should try to do everything in this country to enhance family and building them to be stronger and more united i agree or absolutely agree and one of the things is we see that in your family and your family has spent decades upon decades working for civil rights and equal

rights causes in the united states and you faced an unbelievable amount of hardships in that fight because of that fight has this experience changed your family's work in the fight for equality has this made any major impact on you. i could tell you this it has not been me bitter it has it has made me better my sister once told me that what doesn't break you definitely makes you and without a test there is no testimony and so i have shared with my mother that prison was the best thing that ever happened to me to spend time with men and women from different walks of life my wife my wife my ex-wife as you know served twelve months twelve months under the same offense so i went in that she went in and we have children that we are obviously raising and the difficult strain that we were feeling imagine that times every man and woman that enters the system and so i think the rededication comes in the recognition that men and women who serve their

time are really believed to be they are the biblical least of these and when we solve the problem of shame blame and guilt in a life liberty and happiness system i promise you we will be on the road to building a more perfect union for every american and this is not a correctional institution i think that is something we must strive for it to become historically we've been told that you. it was designed to refashion and repurpose people and that that is not happening no it's not happening at all we got a little bit of time and i just want to screw for a quick you know. what advice or both of you what advice do you have for someone with the family member or a friend on the inside what is the best advice you can give them all about a minute left to. make your sons and daughters feel that they have not left home we can do this not by making that expensive phone call

in this little book we are showing you i am showing you how to write letters these letters contain the every thing that i was doing every day in toll of the people who had passed incident and. the occurrence in a community you want the child your child to not feel abandoned you want your child to feel whole when they return and reach into society so they need to into their communities knowing what has happened during the time they have been away. i don't think i can improve on that i am going to have our word. on so. i was truly incredible yes everyone whether you can find this book a barnes and noble and on amazon you most definitely love when you are thinking of you don't forget to pray letters to most of the prison jackal on just

a judge to thank you so much for coming on today things are really so much for having and thank you. the phrase better living through science isn't just a jungle and it could be a reality for their suffering from severe depression researchers at the university of california san francisco were treating a forty for all for a woman with for for epilepsy by placing hundreds of these sesame seed science electrodes in the outer layers of her brain first they look for the signs of seizures but they notice the process. ability to learn more and with the patients permission they perfect purposely set off electrical earthquakes in different parts of our brain and while most did nothing when they is that the area of the brain right behind her eyes the world opened up the pace and said she felt calmer lighter and had more energy and when the experiment was repeated on other patients it was the same they felt positive and alive what all this means is that a non pharmacological answer to treating severe depression is much closer than we think it also means that science is discovering that while depression is

intrinsically linked to emotion emotions are intrinsically linked to our brains they're still using our brains to help us better work with our own brains there are true alright that is our show for you to bear everyone remember in those world we are not told that we are loved enough so i tell you wall i love you i am a robot drill on top of the well if people are watching those hawks out there and i will great day and night for. the. last. why is no good keep the slums you want to. focus on the best of you so you. want what. you see in the film which now does for the most good nobody.

really believes. you're the young boy. and i want you to. be the one. is america ready for a real anti-war candidate clearly the political establishment and media aren't criticism of presidential candidates and anyone else who questions foreign policy or that our piece is swift and unrelenting fighting for peace has never been so difficult. for you came here where you were before you came here when you live. in many u.s.

states capital punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners can spend years waiting for execution but most of the time the victims' families they are very much in favor of the death penalty there are some people because of what they did have given up the right to live among us somebody even proven innocent of two years on death row and how many more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about. it you know. what it was.
