six
flight for so this story stifle a what's
season possible
yeah i thought it was like one of those uh... kind of alex jones doors
but apparently not
and inside and i want to get one of the people i think is one of the most
effective on the most progressive one of those honorable
and one life there and he is one of those people
in the united states house of representatives
congressman james you can ski on the line
and uh... congressman welcome back to the program thank you very much
and i hope it doesn't sound like i'm bothering you office nothing i want the
hike it well i i i love this but i think it's a bit of these are my genuine
sentiments than i because appropriate to share them with my twisters uh... mutual
to at the wheel thank you high saw this headline blackwater c_e_o_ eric prints
tried to intimidate
congresswoman shikha ski and unlike
watch anyway so
well they had delivered a letter that is the lawyer for mister prince personally
uh... that is not the company time
uh... so i a representative of his lawyer construct our paper a letter and
our profits
that potentially in a number of
different ways
uh... the dead
that's starts out the firm represents your consent concerning off
and a famine tory statement do you have made against them
and basically threatened me with toda la food in this country and abroad
said that since the abroad part is still spooky because sc
as i'm sure you know there are other england probably the most conspicuous
example they have libel laws there that
were public figures dot head of the unity like they do here in the united
states card and uh...
and cared prince as allot amani
directed don't have a lot of money that the uh... very idea
babylip bratton a member of congress into silent that of course would be a
buckle
would on uh... and uh... it
in order to started backup double to debate
the kinds of questions that i raised about uh...
promised to preempt and m blackwater at a member of congress um... through
legislation and and uh... and and about other companies as well you know i
introduced legislation
that would stop outsourcing our security that the name of the bill the f ls
though
because that we should not rely on the mercenary companies private for-profit
con
companies
to carry out the most and admission of of uh... war in ca and any kind of a
conflict dot
and and at that eg said that uh...
uh... bobby
our company's that that that kind of work
that the uh... one most notorious for misconduct has been blackwater and
that's just a fact in high-income and uh... whenever it's appropriate to keep
saying that now blackwater lawler societal expereince
unity
okay and into doing things their base of operations outside the united states
uh... know that that would be happily this still have a uh... in the united
statement japan
both tell you i think the and and had moved on to dubai
uh... and um...
he had uh... that involved in the marketing of a game
uh... mulberry okay and car blackwater standing on
empty
so i i don't know if i he personally is involved and ah...
head of the marketing blackwater in other ways but there's been a map of the
uh... pam that's interesting son and the video game they'll remove fat cat live
already moved to the u_n_ so united arab emirates yeah arm
which by the way leads to argue ki science work i'm which i'm gonna get
into went after the break week we have this with but this was studied
uses was presented at the november thirtieth annual meeting the rheological
site in north america for the first time uh... f_m_ arrive functional magnetic
resonance imaging analysis of long-term effects of violent video games in the
brain has shown changes can bring regions associate with cognitive
function an emotional control any i will give you a yeah okay data so we will get
into that later but
tom so what is it that mister prince
is trying to shut you up about
well he mentioned aren't quite
pacific lee that i have uh...
uh...
going to do the secretary of state
on barry and wreath concerns that mister principality sporting his services
because there was there
a report in meet their time is that now
he may be assembling a kind of uh... versus terry army which he
uh... denied that allegation but
nonetheless and wanted the uh... that department of state to uh... to to take
up a look at that
uh... i have uh... he'd have had a multi-year richard making derogatory
comments about
uh... mister printed and his former company that had died
and they mentioned in the uh... in a statement that i may on the uh...
on the floor
there is a long lift of arrow alleged mitch misconduct from a shooting and
killing civilians to gun-running
we've got four former blackwater executive including a former by two
percent
gerry jackson indicted on in two thousand ten for weapons charges
um... that the company has uh... agreed to a forty two million dollar
administrative settlement with the state department for two hundred and eating
eight alleged violations of the and export control act an international
traffic in paramus regulation
this seven civil food uh... that were settled
uh... and legal action still pending against for blackwater karadjic is
uh... as you may remember of map securing better seventeen two billion
convective mister square in two thousand haven't
graphic that uh... they uh... had to be aspirated and the u_s_
uh... state department
if used to renew their contract the that this is the you know
the the idea at that we've got the uh... mercenaries soaring eight people limbo
unclear
to what extent they can be prosecuted
um... that misconduct and and even on defense former defense secretary robert
gates and two thousand bhavan
stated that the admission of any security contractors was that i quote at
croft purposes to our larger mission in iraq unquote
and yet we're spending it just uh... blackwater alone
and about one point to fight
billions of dollars and not in contract
so u
i'm curious what you're going to do with this item for example uh... bill clinton
i did a fundraiser for congressman jim mcdermott about three years ago seattle
uh... to help raised three and it doesn't always for his legal fee
because he was being sued by newt gingrich fan
and
you know i mean it's did it can cost money when you get suit you know i don't
know that i don't know that uh... actually to diet uh... i wanted to on
that this is my response to
uh... their their letter battling doctor pittman buddy
picked up on actually 'em jutting out then
yes tapping my work because i think this is one of the most important questions
right now
um... that that we haven't asked you know that the youth of these private
military contractors which
and uh... the the potential in the some cases the reality
of compromising our mission and the state the of power
and the morale of our troops and costing lots and lots of of
uh... money um...
that blood interval
but in in wars it's important question right now because he has we would move
our troops are uniform
military what role
are private
security contractors going to play whenever countdown the people you know
you hear about we've heard over these years now about
surges
but never
talented
are how many
uh... contractor third and actually insists he brought out in the light
then don't plan so with the and and and i'm so curious about the role in
new orleans after katrina but that the other one you know it's it's a cowardly
yes i gather uh... you-know-what
loaded weapon and
uh... enough so add eight you know that that the company in particular but we've
had
uh... under armor group with this kind of factual hazing without his pictures
l_a_ if it's a lot of them especially blackwater very very interesting
congresswoman jan shit s quiche because he does has that um... easily
representing the ninth district as illinois
congresswoman's please keep us informed the house is still soldiers and and he's
off the streets with misrepresents can you please fault it was very best places
