Crosby stills Nash and Young for the Woodstock generation. Their names evoke a sense of déjà vu. Together they made beautiful music. But is that Mason will tell us that harmony and dead offstage is just over half a century ago was released one of Roxanne allowable how would you describe the period of recording chaotic you talk about how you guys, but heads all the time. What was glancing blows, but there were continuous back in your skull and your firm's goals, Crosby stills and Nash remember joining up with Neil Young to record déjà vu later on the Sunday morning the frantic American Porsche to evacuate. Koppel is drawing to a close, especially at risk Afghans who served as US translators as Lee Cowan explains their fight for freedom sometimes continues long after they're out of harms way, where's the horn, unless he's a stranger in a not so strange way of role the US was the country. He fought beside the better his own. I apply for political asylum for the threats and persecution I have for my life by returning back home. The battle of an Afghan interpreter country.

He served would serve him back ahead on Sunday morning for sailing talks with top chefs, Padma Lakshmi David Martin revisits the troubling tale of alpha platoon plus Steve Hartman commentary from Billie Jean King and more on this Sunday morning for 29 August 2021 will be right back this Tuesday, August 31 is the deadline for US forces to leave Afghanistan. Perhaps, leaving thousands of those who helped us behind. Forced to fend for themselves. Lee Cowan has the story of an Afghan refugee closer to home with an entire town looking out for him. At first glance Iowa Falls might be an odd place for pork, for example, forbidden is pretty big business here is my where's the horn and yet is all mania and Afghan go simply by seeing. I will fall has been the answer to his prayer do feel with our Falls is your home. I will fall this whole he came to the US after serving as an interpreter for both US and allied forces in eastern Afghanistan, every mission made him a target of the Taliban. I have seen a lot of my very good friends have been killed been given body bags to just pick something only the Jerome. Plenty times. The bullet taken out of his arm nearly lost in either shrapnel when the bus he was riding in drove over a roadside bomb.

He nearly lost delay function. I will Falls heard the service. It's not just his personality is character people like Duane and Emily crew converting just welcome them practically saluted. He would do anything for anybody and he showed that with this service. He did for us is probably more of an American told people that are born here.

What few people knew, however, was just house. He got here in the first place. In 2014 US contractors. He had been working for an Koppel flew them to Washington DC for business as he was thrilled. We had no intention of leaving Afghanistan for good. Everybody believes that country who's going to fix hours after he landed his parents found a warning one of several they proceed from the Taliban nailed to their front door on the funds slimy and the Taliban that the heady insured it said as he went home yet and sold his family. The Taliban had already made good on past threats as they murdered his uncle and forced his parents into hiding. It was the hardest decision of my life that what they like going to do.

I just wanted anymore pain this done one my family to live like emigrants in their own country as he had no choice but to apply for political asylum. Oh you don't keep your car clean Bob nothing but close on his back. We arrived and I will Falls were the first to help him work. Yeah was a giant of a man in stature and in spirit. I don't speak as foreign language around make this now. I think it's talking about liking to Britain never served in the Armed Forces at 6 foot 10 was to toll but offering kindness. He says doesn't have a height restriction. Why did you get all you good kid that slow say 10,000 miles away from home for a time and he says can you help me turn them down to do the right thing. I told him that I am buying this house. He looked at me, you stupid for loans the money to buy an old house that was practically falling down and help them turn it into a home these pretty handy that way. So much so he started his own business service quickly got a reputation as the contractor, the town could count. Just as those working at the local optometry shop where Z was installing a new ceiling. How important is it to the community as a whole.

You think everybody here knows them.

Everybody knows that he would do everything he could hear, always willing to help. Plus he's a fine everyone in town much assume that she would be granted such but when his interview with US immigration officials finally came around. Something didn't seem quite right. My interview was almost 7 hours 7Z had to account for everything including his childhood and one day in particular when Z says he was forced to give the Taliban a piece of bread at gunpoint, or they warned you will kill your parents or we will burn your house some nine years old kid, not even nine. I was scared I did.

And you what else to do to protect my family.

That's what they wanted. This is that letter that I got from the government three months ago.

Z got a letter from US citizenship and immigration services that suggested that that morsel of bread, he gave the Taliban and all those years ago could be viewed as aiding an enemy an allegation which could getting deported engaged in terrorist activity to feel betrayed I did I got stabbed in the back without question on every US is risking life and limb to evacuate people, fearing for their lives. My on earth with a send someone like the back were supposed be reasonable people and made it were better than this. I will let it happen. The residents of Iowa Falls quickly went into action, including Mike's wife Linda everybody and I will Falls would go to jail for him. I think in a matter of weeks. The town raised more than $40,000 to hire Z the best immigration lawyers they could find. But as the scenes outside Kabul airport and more desperate as he was getting more more anxious not only for himself but for his family, but then bit of potential good news, US immigration officials won't comment on why or what, if anything's really changed pertaining disease case, but Z's attorney was notified two weeks ago that the US has now agreed to re-examine his application for asylum and I will Falls the water. All that matters just might have a chance to stay where they think people are told to our friends see forever as I fall proceed. It's bittersweet's family is still stuck back in Afghanistan the country he nearly died to rebuild and he vows the fight isn't over yet. It takes a lot to make community me make a country great and I did it I will do it again and I I will stand for what's right. Kevin sees packing.

I think she's the highest of top Chef Bravo's long-running cooking competition show.

But there is so much more to her story face sailing is in conversation with the remarkable Padma Lakshmi full time at the market because you have seven vegetables and fruit are also made all when visiting a farmers market with my Lakshmi follow her lead. I love frying man and learn along the way, these are my talking is a lot of olive oil. When Lakshmi talks to look at what's here and I will make based on what I find. After all, she's the host judge and an executive producer shall top Chef and she highlights think turn cuisine and whotaste like teal.

She's also an author, activist and UN could you could say Lakshmi lots on her plate. I feel like I'm just finally getting my side while to fully cook as a person and to figure out who Eli and to know who taught my Lakshmi.

It's important to know where she came from and how much she's overcome in my life I have had a lot of people don't know your story, they might look at you and think you lead a charmed life. I hope they do now.

I would like to before bestseller lists Emmy nominations and magazine covers spiced up her life. Lakshmi's roots were humble, you grow up with a lot of privilege. No. I was born in India and my mother divorced my father when I was to she came to America and I came here I joined her when I was four I came here on Halloween night and I thought America. This beautiful land of plenty, but only if the do is dress up in a funny costume and make give you candy not even like many candy after her arrival in America. Lakshmi found joy and wonder in the melting pot of New York City. It would not last. At seven years old.

Her life was forever changed. The relative my mother second husband and sexually molested and I went in I was sent back to India for a year and 1/2 I was saying my mother's defense, she did the best she could to get me out of there as soon as possible and that was the quickest way to do that. In retrospect, I'm sure she would not make that decision. Lakshmi returned to America and attended high school in Los Angeles. She also had a part-time job at a mall and you met a young man yes what happened. We were dating and you know one night I was only allowed to stay out so late because it is nearest and I was 16 and is actually Lakshmi kept a secret for more than 30 years until she penned an op-ed for the New York Times in 2018. When some anybody of your innocence.

Whether it's seven or 16 or whatever you don't have dominion over your own body.

It leaves you with a lifelong anxiety that always lingers in some form and that to me is the greatest crime, the sexual assault there would be more trauma further then teenage Lakshmi when she was seriously injured in a car accident. I factored my head that I broke my arm my right iron and my my metacarpal here you have a scar. I do have a big scar. Surprisingly, 7 inch would help launch her modeling career. I hated it, but then I was shot by a very great photographer name, and you and he liked this guy. I think that your flaws and your scars really make you who you are photo shoots led to acting roles provisions, but it was her culinary passion that really put her on the map when she joined top Chef 20 think sweet. The show just wrapped its 18th season, Eric.

I love that I had the biggest mom says successful it's very compelling to see someone strive to be the best at what they do for a living. No matter what it is and so you don't have to be professional to have really deep fully formed opinions about food. Lakshmi's maiden name for herself professionally, but her personal life has also made headlines in 2004. She married one of the most famous authors in the world.

Salman Rushdie.

They divorced three years later. In her memoirs she said Rushdie called her a quote bad investment. I wish him well. I care about him and I really don't want to say anything more about him. What she will talk about is a painful condition. She and millions of women suffer from endometriosis disease where tissue grows outside the uterus and can lead to infertility because of my experience at the end of Genesis you know once I got the care that I needed. Then I start tasting life are normal woman who doesn't suffer with chronic pain she's cofounder of the endometriosis foundation of America when not championing a cause or working she's with her daughter Krishna, the single mother coparents her 11-year-old with creation, as father Adam Dell. I always go and be a mom. I did not have this much fun. I'm very lucky. Given the endometriosis. Is it fair to say that Krishna is a miracle definitely. I color miracle.

I mean literally. I don't know how it happened. I have like some tinfoil and rabbit ears holding it altogether and here I am not even getting that miracle in that mother-daughter bond helped inspire her new children's book tomatoes for Nila Krishna who live in this farmers market takes place in the book comes out this week just in time for Lakshmi's 51st birthday ever had a Coca-Cola cake now. I surprised her with a cake. I made no pressure. It's sweet and creamy and has a lot of give a sweet review from pud my Lakshmi, a woman whose turn pain into power and strives to empower others. I am an open book. I have lived the life I've lived because there's nothing that I have to hide and I would like young women to know that even if you have a late start, or even if you've been through stuff.

It's okay sometimes you just have to get up and dust yourself off and keep walking.

This is intelligence matters with former acting Dir. of the CIA. Michael Morel bridge Colby is cofounder and principal of the Marathon initiative project focused on developing strategies to prepare the United States print your sustained great power competition states for my do something we can usually figure it out what people are saying and what we can know analytically and empirically as our strategic situational motor situations not being matched up with follow. Intelligence matters were ever you get your podcasts. It's been called America's other epidemic we ask Senior contributor Ted Koppel to take a closer look at the gun violence that seems so much a part of this summer of 2021 sweltering August night in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Baltimore young black man is shot to the mother earlier mentioned in the new. The factors is the city's police Commissioner Michael Harrison knows all too well something like this happens, you can resort the numbers years number of homes. All right, now where a 202, even the 202 for the sheer.

Our interview was in the morning. Deutsche homicide would be the 200 Sir, this is predominantly black shooter tricksters from a person that's about right. You the number of murders believed was up around 93% block number for each of the percentages is close to accurate racial disparity is according to the sugars for disease control. Blackman are 14 times more likely to be killed by a firearm appointment that's nationwide explained all there may be many war affiliated with gangs.

Many of the motors all retaliations from previous many of them are just individual arguments that turn violent young men are using goblins to settle their disputes because they don't know how to solve the conflict way. There is almost a contagion phenomenon that one shooting will be to another place to another. Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for gun violence prevention policy knows that gun violence in Baltimore has deep roots. If you would go and talk to the young people 1516-year-olds who might be shooting pretty good guess that no one is really taking care of them so to make money in this underground economy, either through robbery through drugs. You typically have to have a gun when you said no one can rely on very often the father figure is in person or dead or gone maybe also true of the mother will have understanding meet Cory one for the worst thing to us as street people.

We lost all faults use the site director for an organization called Catholic charities safe streets whose credibility depends in large part on what he did when he was your last and raise my oldest Cory was in prison, convicted of murder. Came home and my daughter looked at me like I was a strange that was violent so not tell young men.

These pipe as we got no make sure you raise your child.

So one of the tool's then your for about 14 years, no couriers room was cold violence can be as dangerous songs or Monday and is organizing community moving notes published on the 21 is like a fitness blog a lot that was seven say okay well what was 30.

So one thing I can tell you is what's going to happen when you point the gun and when you point the trick Commissioner Harrison knows he's battling culture, gun violence, and it's a national problem, no gun stores in Baltimore. So the come from outside of the city about 50% coming from outside of the state and then said there's the culture of carrying guns were arrested for illegally carrying the same graphic people who become the victims of shootings and perpetrators of tomorrow. From those left behind to pull the pieces of broken families back together. The women like Rashida Murray, the single mother of five. Her younger son Gerard is not his father was murdered. He had altercation with someone and they went got a gun came back and killed tour boards were to the twins the same to seven usable in 2012 one of the twins, Robert Burton went out to buy some Advil for the truth. He went to the store with his friends came back so I heard the shots in the first thing I can think is, where is Roger with my baby 18 and unlocks your circumscribed circulatory my second twin robot Burton.

He was murdered September 5 20 1900 your phone.

I found that out 1030 that night when the detectives knocked on my door as I was getting to be a picture and I'm thinking okay they come in to tell me my to do something so vital he day.

It was looking for to tell me that must room was 26 left blonde daughter from truthful. It's almost beyond belief.

One woman gone through groans from some got a change we can keep on by now sons we can keep on Burnell daughters. These little caves this going through all this trauma and all this tragedy and how they feel about growing up without their parents. My son asked me if he will ever get another phone call from Youngman to see only shirts from Baltimore should use gun violence is an epidemic. Cory Winfield shows screech recruits were once carriers of the disease.

No worries. Additional support of the city trying to control what was a part of the problem is the change they like to be a part of solution former doing members of the body, typically in our neighborhood move drugs and rivalries cycle of violence and this goes all the trauma and now doesn't mean it will always stay like any time of the night. This can do my children about the beginning of the story. Nameless news with Dr. core talked again the next day, but not young man was working closely with trying to get him upstream. Bush demurred so is days like this when I really worry was a member. Right now we're working on stop in the retaliation supply volatile situation whose criminal return will just the cycle of violence. My brothers life friends life not let this go is the same thing over and over and over. You have to forgive somebody in order for somebody to live and in a combat essay will say because I have felt forgiveness for my model brother was murdered just you knew found out that it divided next day so attracting the night when I was going to the police pulled right left when I got home my mother was sitting on the sofa grabbed me by my elbow close.

She said please stop baby Corey's little brother drew one Winfield was 21 very profound question. Questions are profound, but the answer why is this still does assign people but well come from hurt people kill people. Simple step on the sheet you don't know the outcome is too many young people educated young people were guns looking at that anger recent people. Young people with no vision I envision this will keep me working my vision is that one day we go no murders for whole not just Baltimore I'm talking about God involves not just Baltimore but United States mother country of vision of vision the start of the U.S. Open here New York opinion this morning from tennis legend Billie Jean King's memoir, all in has just been released. When I was 12 I was sitting at the Los Angeles tennis club when I noticed that everyone who played tennis white clothes, white shoes, and everyone who played was behind I asked myself with everyone else and then experience sexism and I see racism at work.

I just knew things had to change. So from that moment on I decided to commit my life to being a champion of equality for all. The best leaders lead for everyone yet there are those who think women only lead for women, why would we marginalize ourselves by focusing on half the world when we can have real impact by focusing on the entire population. Sometimes people say to me. Thanks for what you I smile I say thank you, but they would never say that to a male tennis player, they would say thank you for what you did for tennis. I've always try to help all of tennis. Not just women's tennis look at Naomi, Osaka last year, she used her platform to ask what the black lives matter movement means to us.

More recently, Shan US Olympic gymnast Simone Biles prompted important worldwide discussions about mental health Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeannie Buss and Kim in the Miami Marlins are two of the highest ranking sports executives in the country they are managing women's teams.

They are leading men's teams. Women get more attention.

We do something in the men's arena.

We don't do it alone. I had many male allies champion me this is a time of fresh thinkers who are challenging entrenched power and valuing inclusivity over divisiveness action over reaction and none of us is disqualified from leading for any reason.

We all bleed red. Each of us is an influencer. So next time you see a woman leading don't limit or underestimate her show up, stand up, speak up two years ago now retired Navy seal Eddie Gallagher stood accused by many of his own men of horrific war crimes. Gallagher was ultimately acquitted of all but one charge, but the story doesn't end there hears national security correspondent David Martin Junior Navy SEALs went off to war in 2017 as a band of brothers of the time they came home. Some of them had turned on their leader Eddie Gallagher man they once revered.

When I found out he was my chief of excited. I saw how you do business in red. Our training is always motivated. That's exactly what you're looking for. The chief former Shield Josh friends was a member about the same as a role model, absolutely. Here was someone I looked up to, but after months of vicious house to house fighting in Iraq, friends and other members of elf did the unthinkable. They broke the code of silence and accuse their leader a war crime until now. None of them have been interviewed on television.

If your loyalty lies with a guy like Eddie Gallagher, then you need to reevaluate why your Navy seal. A lot of them were so torn apart by what happened on that deployment that they immediately left the seals completely disillusioned New York Times reporter David Phillips has written a book about Gallagher's platoon called simply elf you've got a bunch of exceptional alpha males altogether and sometimes that drove people to do things that got so far away from the values that they thought they would've represented that it struck other seals is crazy. Friends had never been in combat and ache to get in. If you're United States Navy seal, you don't.

That's like being a football player not want to play in Super Bowl. That's our job. Gallagher gave friends and the rest of alpha platoon exactly what they wanted they were supposed to stay 1500 yards behind the front lawn backing up the rock as they retook the city of multiple Isys premises. Gallagher told him to turn off their GPS trackers so they could get closer to the fight without headquarters. No, originally, that was Eddie's idea, but at the same time we were signing on with it. Anybody that wasn't cool with it was labeled as a coward.

Rest of us know we were want to get through.

And you know unfortunately, that meant breaking the rules. There is a subculture of seals who feel that to a certain extent they are above the law and should be that the real fighting the dirty fighting that must be done by unconventional forces sometimes isn't as pretty as the rulebook makes it sound so members of alpha began to believe Gallagher was needlessly risking casualties, exposing his enemy fire on the rooftop where a helmet cam capture the moment one of them got hit as Phillips tells it some days Gallagher would hold up in a sniper position and come back bragging about his skills at first the seals passed it off as just talk and then some of the platoon started to see what they thought was his bullets actually connect with old man with school-age girls and they had to realize wait a minute.

All the stories that he's been telling maybe those artichokes then the Iraqis brought in a barely conscious Isys fighter who had been wounded in an airstrike helmet cam showed Gallagher taking charge of the prison.

That video has been three seals that they witness Gallagher stabbed the prisoner afterwards. Some of the men lined up for a trophy photo with the body, but later claimed they only did it to please Gallagher, one of the world's toughest dudes seem so scared of Gallagher Eddie Gallagher is a popular respected dude with connections all over the seal base back home.

If you intend to stay in your career and move up as a young seal going against a guy like Eddie Gallagher is probably the worst decision you can make 11 months later, friends and other members of alpha told NCIS what they say happened, they were not just diming Gallagher out they were breaking the code of silence reckoned between right and wrong. Looking in the eye. If if I'm not doing everything that I can was charged with premeditated murder. With the prosecution's case fell apart in a made-for-TV moment when their star witness suddenly confess that it was he who killed the person. Gallagher's acquittal was hailed by then-President Trump in the newly retired Navy seal returned the favor by presenting the commander-in-chief with the nicest flat today. He lives in the Florida Panhandle with his wife and a high profile in the cultural I'm not trying to hide anything on 60 minutes, he steadfastly maintained his innocence.

Instead, no, according to Gallagher. He and three other seals performed emergency procedures on the fast thinking person, were you keeping him alive. Yeah, we remain as they were doing the procedures he was alive but he will, and wasn't looking. A year later on the Apple podcast the line we heard a very different the grain of truth in the whole thing is that that Isys fighter was killed by us and nobody at that time had a problem with we killed that guy attention was to kill everybody was on board not want to kill him.

It was to do medical scenarios on nursing yeah you want to put in a nice way down to Persky conducted that in surprise chopped just on the floor shocked couldn't believe could not believe after all this time that he was willing to change a story like was incredibly shocking for me incredibly surprised Gallagher's attorney claims the editing to Persky's interview was misleading the Navy says the case is quote for Josh friends and other members of alpha platoon the case of Eddie Gallagher remains open. This story just exchanging the only way to healing and come out on the other side as if he comes clean. His greatest punishment right now is living with himself.
