Open their doors this september right in time for the 2020 president ial Campaign Season news of this bizarre tag team comes hot on the heels of the recent open letter signed by 19 of the richest people in the United States including Abigail Disney entrepreneur nick hanauer and soros himself asking for busy a bed rule wealth tax on the richest 110th of the richest one percent of all americans. What in the hell is happening to our billionaires asking to be taxed heavily and calling for an end to the u. S. Military adventures in interventionism. Lets find out just what parallel universe weve now entered as we start watching the hallmarks. One would you treat the threat like real that this would be. As it were the plot of. The day like you know i got. Was that we. Were. There. Because i. Was one of the watching the hard side of the world and and half of the other. Whoa whoa are you real now because the world i am merely now is a figment of Government Action so george soros and charles koch are teaming up hope to get the us out of war because this is. Just to see that i have exploding that was born we can all see youre headed. Home well it was interesting as this idea of a think tank with which i think has not i think has not brought great thoughts because its think tanks that have been behind so many of these these interventionist wars they are backed up by well this institute says those well this institute says that except. One of the interesting things was treated parsley as one of the cofounders of the new institute and former president the National Review and American Council told the media this is big it shows how important and less ending endless war is if theyre willing to put aside their differences and get together on this project were going to be a trout were going to challenge the basis of American Foreign policy in a way that has not been done and the last quarter centuries so she will also be joined by suzanne de maggio was a historian and ask stephen or time the militarist author and then retired army colonel andrew bach. In the coup founders circle and i think so what theyre trying to do is have a 3500000. 00 budget and a staff of policy experts who will put out material for use in congress and public debate so its an its a pretty pretty typical thing. Except theyre thinking about not about. How to propose to it it isnt new i think a new one for us its a new its a new area and i guess the thing with the gets me to have this is do we trust i mean you know because its like soros and the Koch Brothers are you know as ive said earlier of their kind of what a lot of the other central hubs to a lot of legitimate you know conspiracy you think in your blood why things happened and why you know we talked about astroturf and the other day on the show those 2 a bit firmer and a lot of that you know but at the same time its like are they having the change of heart or theyre suddenly saying well maybe wars maybe this you know old military Industrial Complex things we stop were going to put our money into it. Its in credit so interesting right and its something i always say theres always this why would they do it why would they do it when you get to be a certain a legacy is really important and this is where you know people like carnegie realized theyd rather leave their name to mean something and instead of being this thing that was against something oh i dont want to be the guy who brought monopoly as i dont want to be the guy who sold out most midwestern states for half a buck to terrible politicians i found out there. But if you take it in another angle and you start to look at it that way it definitely becomes like well you know we can trust no one but i mean it cant hurt if theyve supposedly had this much power to do all these things and. They say ok were going to use it for what we will definitely be watching yeah i dont know obviously you know im. Going to see the most recent and because the instant theyre saying that the institute was made. On Independence Day. The United States goes. In search of monsters to destroy. The freedom and independence of the champion and vindicator only so clearly. It would not be a fan of the intervention. Policy we have. I think most. They wouldnt like whats going on now i and a number of levels but i think part of it is that you know we we rely on a billionaire to pay Student Loans for apply and a billionaire to do this we were we were requiring them to say its ok to make us fake pay or a fair share its ok and you know as as we as we celebrate our independence here in the United States i think about french independence and what was around that in that you know you cant keep telling people to eat cake. But actually have actually screwed a book tour for. This week athletes are back in the spotlight not because of the point spread but because of the effect their words have on others calling tapper nick is allegedly behind the move nikes move to pull an Independence Day theme shoe from sale of radio nazi groups use of the flag and of the 13 colonies featured on the show and its connection to slavery era United States and the u. S. Womens soccer team captain Meghan Rapinoe who was asked by a reporter are you excited to go to the white house answered im not going to the way there is another word or so our athletes becoming too powerful of a voice and public debate or is it even more important than ever that those with a platform and the platform resist the urge to censor themselves and while it may take the Mainstream Media at least 8 hours than a dozen boxes to have this debate we hear on watching austin do it in under 5 minutes joining us now from new york city with a view from the right as conservative commentator steve malzberg. All right well look politics and sports have been coming together for better or for worse for lots and lots and lots of decades earlier in hitler the olympics muhammad ali the mexico city games are boycott of the 1980 olympics in moscow 2012 for trayvon and the n. B. A. And so on so lets get to today as for megan rypien oh shes doing nothing but playing politics she has no cause she doesnt stand for the National Anthem she said she wont go to the effing. White house and she used the name trashing the administration for everything then she accepts invites to visit the house in the senate from a. O. C. And Camilla Harris this woman is the captain of the u. S. National womens soccer team that she chooses to use an expletive to describe the white house and lets face it the president while representing the u. S. Overseas speaks volumes for who and what she is capper nick convinced nike to stop distribution of sneakers bearing the betsy ross American Flag as you said because its offensive who is he kidding he also found the National Anthem offensive and i bet he has no use for any American Flag but i dont blame this pair for showing us who they are i blame nike in the case of caprona for balin to his pressure if the reporting is correct why does he get to decide whats offensive and whats not and as for a piano she did start today semifinal game for a single in which the u. S. Won id like to believe it was punishment for the way shes handled herself as captain but that would be expecting too much from feckless administrators and coaches who probably agree with her and by the way President Trump gave her some good advice after she mouthed off when 1st before talking and so far they havent won. Well i want to mouth off a little bit now because she was asked by a reporter. If she was going and she answered she didnt put herself end of a situation but i wonder why we act as if athletes are supposed to be neutral on political or social issues while also using them and their talents to promote whatever political ad agenda or is whether its ginning up support for war with taxpayer funded salutes to veterans at Football Games or complaining that anyone who makes millions bouncing a ball shouldnt have the right to an opinion if theyre an actor they should not be an opinion. Here lets be honest the same people decrying rap and are the same people who think a corporation has more of a right to free speech than human beings yet you wonder why facebook has taken hold of our entire political rhetoric and quite frankly it is the sign of the painfully delicate thin skin of politicians and pundits that they have these days that an athlete like u. S. Womens soccer team cowed captain can answer a reporters question about whether she wants to go to the white house and be attacked because the answer is politically incorrect. The snowflakes crying in their whole milk over a megacorporations overpraise shoe and a Soccer Player is opinion should ask themselves why they think a baker shouldnt have to make a gay wedding but athletes should be stripped of their right to free speech because they Say Something that offends you im just im confused about who the snowflakes are these days. Pro sports and i believe my friends are pro sports athletes they are human beings last i checked and last i checked the constitution of the United States gave these human beings living here the right to whats called free speech but i guess somewhere along the way we forgot that basic fact that all these bright lights ticket sales and big contracts and professional athletes just like all of us have every right to their opinions even when one political side of the spectrum or the other deems them controversial and just like the rest of us athletes will also have to face the consequences of their free speech look like you decide. The police through because their brand Spokesman Says its offensive thats their right if indeed thats what really happened here they are a business and they want to make money and you know you dont make money by appending half of your customers if Megan Rapinoe wants to declare that she wins a title she doesnt want to go to the white house so be it who cares if nike rapinoe pays backlash over this im pretty sure theyre all adults and can handle it bottom line for me is that i am glad athletes have the ability to speak out because whether i love them or hate them or whether they win the big game or fail whether theyre a starter or on the bench its free speech at its finest and that my friends is worth more than any trophy shoe sales or white house visit. All right thank you so much for coming today steve always a pleasure to have this back pleasure guys thank you thank you and.

Desists is a sticker from the water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the Cocacola Company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that lets tell consumers there are the bad was there the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic.

Profound 30 to potential and quite a good safety profile as well. Dream agreed to pressure almost remember that it was most of the family were unemployed working. There wasnt it was bed much worse objective listen today but there was an expectation of the things youre going to get better.

Engineer election manufacture consent another prince holds according to. One set of rules the bridge officer said. Thats what you when you put words to. Share. With us were true is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as youd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization the america. When it comes to guns history has a way of being rewritten by those looking for a reason to get guns out of the hands of certain people when those people are domestic abusers keeping them away from guns is a safety issue but when the people being locked out of the 2nd amendment continue to be those in marginalized communities theres more to look at in a recent piece labor writer kim kelly points out that guns have not always them a Political Tool of the right but a necessary defensive weapon of the law she describes feeling safer a protest attended by redneck revolt an antifascist antiracist militia it seems as kelly puts it when cops and other fascists see that theyre not the only ones packing the balance of power shifts and they tend to reconsider their tactics because at the end of the day we cant depend any of us to be protected by our governments at all times joining us now to discuss this is r t america contributor ben spahn thanks for joining us. Now thanks for having me on ben its interesting because kim kelly also went on to state that until we live in a world with no police no military and no state were at the mercy of all 3 and and i at least dont think its fair to expect us to confront them empty handed i am interested that is ms kellys point of view common amongst you know gun gun rights supporters and if so why is it so hard for the left and right to come together on this because it seems like youd be a unifying belief. Yes so its actually a really interesting and very smart debate by the way guys so i appreciate you they were raising this issue because a lot of people wont talk about it right but in our political system right now we basically see gun rights as being only to the right and then everyone whos against guns on the left thats and thats not accurate ive been saying for many years now if you go back to the Us Constitution in the 2nd amendment itself to understand what the founders of framers were talking about they were not talking about hunting they were not talking about having weapons for the purpose of recreation the 2nd amendment is there to provide protection against the government now you may like that you may not like that doesnt matter thats what the founders of framers meant when they were creating this document you have to read a whole lot about what kind of the the back story behind the federalist antifederalists to understand why they came up with this compromise but essentially thats what its there for so the problem is is that when you say to a lot of people on the right hey weve got to protect ourselves against the government there with you on that but if you say to those same people and police now theyre not with you anymore because there is such a strange. Dynamic between government power and local police power where you know that whole Blue Lives Matter movement is really on the local level so a lot of people who would be considered classic conservatives are very uncomfortable when you talk about protecting yourself from police but theyre very comfortable with the idea of protecting yourself from the government. Which is always very confusing from the right left paradigm because were supposed to respect soldiers but the idea of the government and soldiers and to take our rights then we can fanned up and theres this very haria strange place in the middle and i think part of that is because gun laws tend to disproportionately affect communities of color whether its how theyre enacted or how theyre in for so you know you might be in a White Community like the one i grew up in where like every other pickup truck has a gun rack and no. Hes got a knockdown and that you know everyone feel safe or you could be in east baltimore and even if something looks like a gun you could get shot by police but youre also at risk of getting shot walking down the street so you know one of the things we noticed when we went to australia is that they have more gun clubs its more theres more of a Community Aspect around it which i think is where you know militias you think maybe these local gun clubs are militias could be a path to understanding that a little more are having a sense of community about it. Well i think i think they could be keep in mind that the very 1st gun licensing. Laws in this country were in acted in order to prevent blacks freed slaves africanamericans in this country from having guns thats where they came from the very 1st laws about who can have a gun and who has a license to carry a gun came about to which you disenfranchise and prevent newly freed slaves from owning guns so that is where a lot of that history goes back to and i think youre absolutely right when you look at these communities look lets lets not kid ourselves there is a lot of inner city violence that is black on black crime lot of drug violence and Gang Violence that takes place in inner cities but there are a lot of people in inner cities who are simply looking to protect themselves and police are not quick to distinguish between one and the other at the same time youre absolutely right that with that you can go into a lot of rural areas in this country and someone carries a gun and thats no problem at all so theres definitely a us against them mentality when it comes to guns and that includes the right to carry a gun a great example of that is that old a few years ago the man in minnesota who was shot and killed he had a license for a. Concealed carry handgun and he had that gun on him when a Police Officer stopped him he told the Police Officer that he had the gun with him and the Police Officer shot. And to death the the whats really shocking about that case though is that beyond just the fact that he was killed for having a license to carry a gun but because he was a black man in a car the Police Officer felt threatened by it and killed him is the fact that you had in cities like the n. R. A. Which would not take a stand to defend him and say hey heres a concealed carry owner who had his license he had the weapon he told the officer what was going on and the he was killed anyways and so even to talk about the education part of that what do you do in that situation how do officers need to be trained to deal with that situation they were not a part of that conversation and i think thats part of part of the example of how this all becomes so twisted in that as you said this left right paradigm you know its interesting too because i think when people hear about you know someone protecting themselves from the government or from the police their immediate they really go to you know revolution and people storming the capitol with firearms and that kind of thing really its more the perception its more that if the government knows that there was an armed populace of the citizenry is armed then the government knows that ok we can you know theres a certain line it knows it cant cross for fear of revolt but you know i think we kind of everything gets romanticized into this like you know fear tactics and all that kind of thing its really just the idea that the populace is armed that keeps governments in check but one of the yeah and she says on the article its even in this in this very dangerous situation where you have a right wing and left wing activists and people when they see that you are just as capable of taking care of yourself and youre just as capable of holding onto a weapon or whatever it might be theres a different tactic people will talk once they realize they cant just push people around with a gun thats a great point you know speaking of pushing people around their guns. I want to ask how much has the change in the n. R. A. From from a safety and Education Organization into this kind of lobbying giant lobbying firm on capitol hill how does that change the gun rights debate especially given the recent problems as you pointed out with the case with the n. R. A. And their actions. Yeah i think i think it has a huge effect on it because thats again you know again this example i brought up a great example of how the n. R. A. Completely has failed in its mission to educate because theres no education as a part of that to help people to understand their role in society with those guns and to help Police Officers understand heres someone who legally had that right so what is your police force doing to make sure this never happens again they didnt do that in fact the n. R. A. Was silent on the full length of case and a year later dana loesch user spokeswoman came out and made a statement about it and her statement was dont kid yourself steel was committing a crime because he had marijuana in the car along with a gun like that has anything to do with being shot to death by a Police Officer when youve notified them you have a gun so so it goes back to this idea that the n. R. A. Has become so politicized and you know only favors republican candidates now part of thats because democrats have taken such a strong hard line against guns as part of their National Platform but theyve really just become an a platform for electing republicans into office and theyre not about education and theyre not working with these different communities in various ways and lastly i just think is that as we look at the situation nationally more needs to be done to educate people and get people to come together to understand that this right is about making people safer not putting people against playing a bigger theyre more thank you so much for coming out of there and giving this fascinating conversation with us by swamping q thanks guys.
