Like you that i got. To the. World and im going to watching the hawks i am tyrrel for and today like every thursday we once again put dialogue over the pages of the walls myself bring you 2 distinct an informative discussions between a variety of topics and guests with unique political viewpoints starting with my a very own perception and perspective. Joining me today to give their perspective host of r t v the big picture alan cook r t america sports anchor steve christakis and our to americas correspondent in canada alex mahela bitch thank you all 3 for coming here i want to start with this riot boosting in and south dakota in his ruling against the. Riot boosting act in south dakota u. S. District judge Lawrence Paracel wrote imagine that if these riot boosting statutes were applied to the protests that took place in birmingham alabama what might be the result dr king in the southern christian Leadership Conference could have been liable under an identical riot boosting loft was put there i want to ask you 3 are we are we putting the security of our businesses and properties over the sanctity of our freedom of speech and can there be a balance between the 2 ill start with you alex and. Well yes so obviously were pretty businesses of corporations ahead of the people i mean i think thats something thats been going on forever if its not a king its a corporation and look i mean the bottom line here when you have protests and this is something that its to tears the Mainstream Media 1st of all does not Pay Attention to peaceful protests until somebody throws a rock nobodys watching whats going on so this whole peaceful protest thing which is protected by the 1st amendment in the states and which is protected here in canada has almost become Something Like a yeah go occupy yourselves go march go protest go do what you going to do but were not going to Pay Attention to it anyway and then theres the 2nd facet of it which we saw during the occupy movement and you can even talk about the bill of the 1000000 man march back in 1995 break it up so well you have to do is instead of having a cohesive message you toss in somebody like Louis Farrakhan in 1905 or when it comes to the occupy movement toss in some communist toss and some anarchists and forget about why occupy wall street was there from the very beginning it was about wall street the message gets diluted i dont know if these are operatives that are sent in by the government im sure there are some people that are working for the government in there youre dilute the myth that you destroy it and there goes your protest protest should be protected obviously whats happened in dakota we know is a very important thing but the bottom line is protest is not as effective as it should be because the governments just simply dont care when they do care they try to push in laws like this definitely do holland what is your take on this story well im glad you mentioned dr king because. The basis of this action was outside agitators and thats what George Wallace called the ranged protesters way back when Everybody Loves to bash the a. C. L. U. Its all about whose ox is being gored so they love to bash the a. C. L. U. Until they come after you and then theyre your pals and to alex. This point the Indigenous Peoples were targeted in this dakota thing and its kind of like voter id even if the intent is not to exclude minorities that consequence is that they get singled out weve seen a lot of protests now taking place in pro sports and thats private entity but there are you know kind of either clamping down or are you know youve seen all the controversy with cap or nick or you know the you know what sports to me is oftentimes a really good model of what you know the outside world is you know what society is dealing with you know how sports kind of handled these kind of protests over the years what you see they they try to silence anyone who tries tries to bring change or awareness to the people such as of Course College average with is nearly a protest but it goes back to mexico city in 1068 with tommie smith and john carlos raising their fists on the podium youre seeing that more and more and olympics events recently at the Pan American Games we saw fencer race and vote in and hammer thrower gwen barry protests on the podium so now theyre worried for next year in tokyo 2020 games the Olympic Committee is worried that theyre going to see this more and more as its been becoming more prevalent at the Olympic Games and they do have that since they are a private organization they have rules saying no kind of demonstration or political religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any olympic sites or venues so itll be interesting to see what happens if somebody does protest because these athletes like you said there are consequences they get suspended Calley Kapur Nick many believe hes been blackballed from the n. F. L. But in the n. B. A. You see it more adam silver the commissioner is more lenient theyre allowed to protest Police Brutality more than the n. F. L. And you know i want to look at this other this lawsuit over the biometric face scanning it at home depot and lowes its interesting because you know the stores claim theyre using this data for security purposes to track shoplifters and things like that but the catch is that theyre not informing people as they walk into the stores that theyre scanning their faces and Walking Around and thats where the big catch is and thats what this illinois law is trying to protect should we be giving up our bio net. Tricks in the name of store security should be should we just be handing that over to private companies in the name of well keep me safe or keep your products safe while were there alex well start with you. You know weve had this discussion or something similar to this in the past i personally dont care i mean you know im an open book theres really nothing youre going to find out about me but heres the heres that they were talking about biometrics ok so you start getting a little bit creepy theyre reading your face but lets face facts you walk into pretty much any store with your cell phone in your pocket or you want to call their smartphone they know that youre there they know what youre looking at its g. P. S. Thats tracking you were ever you go so this is a ready happening they do what products youre looking at they know what ads to send you so this is you know were talking about biometrics here right you know face scanning thats so horrible but this is happening no matter what and its happening all over the place and if its happening in states you know its happening in canada as well so yeah creepy has a big going on for a while yes in different shapes and forms so does it really bother me why i dont watch it but hey that life goes on and on just going to keep doing what im doing well and thats the interesting kind of perspective i want to read you this is its 56 where they did a Pew Research Poll and they found that 656656 percent of respondents said they trust Law Enforcement to use facial Recognition Technology responsibly however 36 percent said they trust Tech Companies to use it responsibly while minuscule 17 percent said they would trust advertisers to use or. When you look at these numbers and its kind of disconcerting to think that you know people feel more comfortable with Law Enforcement being able to scan and have our data than companies or for this matter advertising agencies and things like that was it what do you guys feel about it which lowes home depot youve been to a casino lately you know in the oiled and times the griffin book was actually a book you know damn well that they know who that card sharks are before they walk in the door and i imagine the home depot and lowes legal are going to have some sign thats probably time. New roman a tally 12 on the door advising you its there to alexs point this is just a technical evolution there were already grainy black and white closed circuit cameras this is just more sophisticated the genie is out of the bottom and theyve been using this for years a couple years now for sports stadiums for example in 28 seen in moscow at the world cup they had 160000 surveillance cameras in the streets to scan fans faces for face or facial recognition to discover they wanted to know if any of them were criminals they had they said they were only scanning the people on a black list so if youre blacklisted which they had about 50000 photographs of criminal suspects on the blacklist that were uploaded to the system and that resulted in 42 suspects arrested at that world cup for example so they say they are not using any if you have nothing to hide like alex said theyre not using your information or holding on that only if you are in a blacklist as a criminal but heres my fear of all this at the end of the day when you know because i hear that argument a lot of you have nothing to hide what do you care all about but you know what look theyre passing laws against your ability to have free speech and protests like we see in the dakotas eventually you might have something to hide without even knowing it cops are using this sting ray thing anyway to tap into our self assured if you dont want to be surveilled dont leave home and but thats the problem how do you we shouldnt get shouldnt be at that point should it even out on your t. V. Is watching you exactly i mean to me and it frightens me how easily were allowing this to happen i mean you pick up your i phone you look into it now it scans your face to unlock it and their reasoning for this a lot of these corporations are saying oh we want you to be safe or we want to provide a safer environment and thats the reason for using or keeping your information in scanning your face but of course thats a cop out we all kind of agree to that when we check the box without reading all those small little words before scanning our faces on snapchat and set it to you know that that is the big problem and ill just put it was this its frightens the hell out of me that we so easily are ready to kind of just hand over of this data and this information because where it is that and what. Point is it and because to me it is violating who we are its one thing to hey the guy looks familiar im going to go talk about some other thing because these companies can very easily take all your biometric data and then they can turn around and sell it or they can turn around and hand it over to the government weve seen that in numerous times from you know what snowden taught us with the leaks and things like that it to me its a dangerous world that youre living and your dog is already chipped or have we actually said thats very true that is very true i want to thank all 3 of you for coming on always a pleasure having you on alex mail of its always always a pleasure sir steve howe and cook thank you all 3 for coming on all right everybody as we go to break dont forget to let us know what you think of the proper topics weve covered on our social media be sure to check out watching the hawks the podcast which is now available in spotted by apple music and everywhere you go with your favorite podcast coming up my cohost Tabitha Wallace opens up a gallery on the biases in the Mental Health care systems of both hollywood and our military veterans stay tuned for watching.

Plenty. Oh. Just slept. Very well continue watching on since last. The World Health Organization has reported that despite the fact that overall rates for Mental Illness are almost identical between men and women gender determines the differential power and control men and women have over the Socio Economic determines of their own Mental Health and lives their social position status and treatment and society this week her 11 we 11 year long conservatorship controlled by her father jane spears Britney Spears came into view once again miss california courts again the process of determining whether he should control the singers personhood and while this would seem reasonable if we were discussing an elderly adult with Something Like dementia it has never really made sense for many for a hard working woman in her twentys and thirtys a woman who began daily rehearsals for a multimillion dollar tour just weeks after a court decided that she wasnt legally allowed to decide who she dates what she eats how she supports herself even when her doctor is but this isnt just about the palpable fear many have for Britney Spears well being is that while the media still blames her 2008 breakdown as a reason for the lack of freedom many other well paid hard working actors musicians of hollywood have punched photographers assaulted women even killed people and yet o. J. Simpson gets to decide when dates sean penn doesnt have permission to drive a car even Robert Downey jr has control of his finances partly because we live in a world that still feels that while men deserve the space to make mistakes and retain their liberty women did not and 20 attain Melissa Silverstein founder and publisher of women in hollywood magazine told marie claire that the culture is still patriarchal its still male run the bar for women is just so much higher and i think we have to understand how women are treated in the business in general converse lee mass. The church is representative seth moulton introduced a bill in congress recently that would require funding for and requirements for a new Mental Health evaluations for all Service Members telling the press if we dont show america that we care about our veterans when they come home people arent going to volunteer so lets look at the toxic way we treat both genders Mental Health and step into the gallery. Thank you or you know in the galleries the host of news feeds hes got a you know r t correspondent Sara Montecito and r t correspondent there in front friends act thank you guys all for coming here today is really going on have the 600 call that what theyre called you know why its ok to go to venice and into. Some dowry with the bride and the its very weird so this is a girl so Britney Spears while shes going to this conservatorship was just described as working people the specific specific. Conservatorship in california is defined as for people who are special means. Or are disabled to a point that they cant handle this they literally this is a woman who by the way while shes under this conservatorship she said 15000000. 00 performance contracts to successful las vegas show shes made almost 10000000. 00 a year after her breakdown is it strange that while britney has asked for permission to bite she is Harvey Weinstein gets to leg walk around even though hes clearly mentally ill his a threat to other people is a threat to himself no and let me tell you why it is no criticism against you or its because this conversation were probably all going to agree on this now lets bring men and even if we didnt have a mentor lets get them down and lets put them up to a polygraph so they have to be honest and feed them after that same question because theyre going to win the doghouse with us because the majority of them probably will not say exactly what theyre thinking or maybe we have some good men and i know in the station we do thats the problem this conversation keeps having amongst us and women the men have yet to have the kahunas to have the conversation amongst themselves in front of a crowd of people and be held accountable for their opinions and i think also too when you look at the case of Britney Spears i mean you said they all go back to what happened to her in 2008 i will say this so as a die hard for any fan that girl has gone through so much and for how famous she is for how much money she brings in i kind of understand a little bit why they want somebody to be there to protect her so i think like picking out her cheese and stuff thats a little too extreme but i can understand why having somebody there to be like not this person is using you like i mean we always probably either go to our mothers or fathers to be like dont think ive got to be you know that are being with me when i do hear them are the ones that are now using them as. Coming up you know coming in age with her hits coming into all this money becoming so popular at such a young age like Lindsay Lohan and other stars who have had their breakdowns it happens especially when youre in the spotlight so young and. Have all this fame and money dont know what to do with it but again it goes back to like he said that we all agree its who the people are that are having the control over her finances why cant it be a 3rd party and i think its its speaks to the problem of our system alone how are you allowing somebody who is controlling and wont let her pick who she dates what she does its going too far you have to feel sorry for a woman in that position that she cannot have anybody around her but i guarantee if somebody of some competency would stand in front of the judge and say listen i want to help her i want to the judge will probably give it the promise theres nobody in her world right now that the judge can trust well i dont know the judge in her case but the one person whos actually standing up for her and doing that and seems to be on her side about things because a lot of this started out because about a month ago jamie spears her father broke a door down and shook her teenage son 1st of all that would be the end of it for me there would be no more money there would be no nothing would do bad things would happen and 1. 00 of the reasons is because Kevin Federline actually stood up and got a restraining order against her father but her 1st reaction that moment was to take her kids out of that situation to call their father and say we need to make sure theyre safe and its very interesting because if you look back at that time we were all young you know kids at this at that moment where you had a clue sam lufti who was her manager along he managed Christina Aguilera the Backstreet Boys in sync its interesting to see and i think a lot of those people all had breakdowns and thats what happens with child stars yes but why was that she is the only one that was singled out i mean we all remember when Christina Aguilera dyed her hair dark and went crazy too you know going to go where i got married she was what youre suppose you did your is the right exactly man during all of that right attached to or on the federal unfortunately britney is kind of in this world and i think your heart does have to break a little bit for someone that is so does for that used to putting on strangers the cheap a yes. To her friends this is the one that i thought was interesting so in a 26 interview she said this to n m e magazine she said sometimes im like what am i doing like i could be a teacher but then i see all these other people doing it too and im like well you know its probably all theyve known for so long so it just kind of men make sense and thats her saying like we grow up in this business even doing our 1st look how do you can get out i mean this is a girl but also you know its. Do we call it the pressure like are we somewhat at fault is it this weird thing where we need Britney Spears to fail so we dont sleep so we feel better or are we putting this pressure on many men have they get a netflix comedy special when they do awful things you know they get almost daily duties an awful to anybody else out of her family were other men have assaulted strangers or not issues thats the difference in all of us but it would to your sort of i think in her case were not expecting new music out of her in fact we probably dont want new music of her because her past is so has already so legendary we just need her to be happy and healthy if this would in tragically if something happened to her nobody i would think would be cheering on her putting that pressure on her stock in this business and i feel like a lot of people do it so i applaud the women who have gone out gone for their Degrees Higher education or teaching or doing other things because its like shes saying once youre in it its that pressure that she feels so stuck and you know she might have other dreams to become a teacher or or what not but shes she feels restraint and boxed into what she was and became and that worries me to the other side of this they can virtually the sort of flip side of things is that the same pressure thats put on Britney Spears to look a certain way to do these things we have a whole way that we do that with men and especially in the armed forces and in sports and this week we had the pentagon is now finally saying no we need to have a better mental system before they go come back come back and be a players theres all of us theres a lot of when you look at pictures of men in movies they all look like so worn out. Cant be if they like we can put on spanx they have all other bright are excellent transition in this case because it does show the other hand it shows that we appreciate that our an average new studies come out 20 folders a day commit suicide and in the past these men just kind of dismissed and nobody would ever talk about it at least now theyre having a real reality check with the military and theyre putting the emphasis on i wish i were to happen in the seventys post vietnam war i think a lot of problems with families today would been solved if we were to help the men back then but weve got at least so broad though lets hope this actually goes deeper than just speak easy but actually make sure that were giving these men help and theyre not ashamed of it do you think that we as women because we have to deal with this quietly we know were not supposed to cry at the office were not supposed to because when youre crazy. Do you think that we could actually be the thing that helps men kind of be more comfortable with Mental Health conversation saying its ok were crazy or crazy we all get through it well i mean this is a position thats kind of near and dear to my heart because when i was an anchor down in El Paso Texas we have 4 blister thats the 2nd Largest Army Base there and one of the reports that i studied was this new form of therapy called m d r and what it is is its theres no talk therapy because what they are finding is a lot of these soldiers they dont want to talk about it they dont want to relive it and it stands for ive Movement Desensitisation the sense that these sensitization reprocessing they found that 100 percent of these veterans after 6. 00 to 12. 00 sessions not you know 100 percent cured but 99. 9 percent cured because what its doing and like a rational simple terms is its taking these emotional experiences you have and brings them over to your logical side and there have been times in my life you know what as i was doing the story there is stuff we all have something happens in our lives and i did it myself and i was shocked it took me 2 sessions and i was cured at least id like to think so. Its one of the here and now theres this but you know a lot of us i think on both sides were told you need to deal. That internally and thats the worst thing you can do which and i want to im very i think that these new forms of options that youre giving people in that were giving soldiers who like she said many men are not able or wanting to talk about their feelings and even even if you told them now its ok theyre still not ok with that they dont want to relive it they dont want to talk about it again is going to work right its not women in the u. S. I appreciate its men men admitting to other men listen i have these thoughts you piers its oh ok you just deal with it the right way and dont just harbor it in and take it out aggressively its just hard you can grab the office of a guy and i worry about her going all the time i mean our daily cry its all about what i do so much lives for talking about this you know hopefully we can return it made our favorite thing that is our 0 for a year today i want to.
