Transcripts For RT Watching The Hawks 20240714

Waves behavior of political figures topics and places and as energize the democrats in the mainstream news media but you know all of this begs a very important question why did it take a threat to the election chances of joe biden to invigorate Democratic Party bosses to find the grounds to finally impeach President Donald Trump i guess you know putting immigrant children in cages instituting a ban on muslims at our borders or the dropping of bombs on civilians in syria in afghanistan just to start really considered impeachable offenses these days. And what my friends those that say about us now lets start watching the hawks. The. Real that would. Like you but i got. With. The. Local im on the watching i robot and im tabitha lawless joining us to discuss the impeachment inquiry and present as the president of the phyllis safely evil for an education and Legal Defense fund and marc thanks for joining us great to be with you think you got out all right so you got the allegations what troubling is ministration are being accused of it appears that. It appears that they literally did with ukraine what muller and company tried and failed to prove he did with russia and thats collude with a foreign power to damage a political opponent why did the trump of ministration essentially attempt to do what they just got cleared of well look i think 1st of all i think that its been interesting to watch the democrats get ahead of the story and now today we have more of the story when you read the transcript and again i think we have all of it i havent actually seen all the coverage is totally on redacted but we do hire the president to be in charge of among other things the election upcoming in the integrity election and one of the things hes saying is theres big corruption with biden thats now known its a fact there was no quid pro quo this is kind of classic trump and you know when youre the president member obama and his administration were the ones that listened at least to steal and when they said hey what is this do you have something on trump lets investigate now i think we all wonder about what the roots of that were but the president supposed to do that so you know. I think its not impeachable as you point out theres other moments in the ministration where you could say hey thats a worse piece of conduct than this exchange its interesting it really is interesting let me ask you this do you think. Then how do you think that we would see them see the democrats pushing for this impeachment if the candidate they were looking for information on was state healthy gathering well no obviously told getting a bum deal as you see by the way i think was the see the leading democrat to say dont bother with impeachment will just divide the country and it wont be worth the trouble no the answer is no somewhere Elizabeth Warren is looking at the camera watching us and saying this is good for my campaign but i you know look i think the different question the other question right now is nancy pelosi didnt want to do this and even when she did it people are noticing she didnt say theres the committee it will be this group she said theres going to be i think 6 areas of investigation theres not going to be one fast track shes really it so now whats whats nancy pelosi choices either she gets it done and the country looks up and says you know its not going to pass the Senate Anyway were Voting Senate or she doesnt get it done and trumps exonerated so shes put herself in a box and i dont know how she gets out and thats an interesting come aboard you know and speaking of where this all leads to i mean lets say you know your investigation actually commences given the length of time i mean we all kind of live through impeachment process as before they take forever and yet many of them have all are oh not right old enough to have truly lived there i remember and gosh what fun it was yellow obviously talk about the one that was like 200 years ago but only by the way one detail that no one said you know that far as ive seen you know move on dot org started as an effort to go ahead and censure bill clinton and move on to the business in other words that was people that loved bill clinton who said cut it out dont do this dont impeach him just move on to the business you have to wonder with 94 percent of the Republican Party behind trump are there. Going to be people remember nancy pelosi has 7 to 15 members Democrat Members who won in trump districts that are wondering how theyll win again i mean remember these are crass he said off the air these are crass politicians we wish they were better theyre politicians theyre going to be looking for their next election so is there a conservative move on dot org about to to form i dont know move on or is very effective you know the timing of this all as well as what weve said you know theres a lot you can impeach trump for but the timing of it is a big deal will the results of this impeachment or wall of this process even make it to the 2020 alexion and ultimately wont this be up to the voters at the end of the day well i think i make a little different point that i think what this is doing is damaging the president s chances to do the things hes been trying to do whether you like it or not hes negotiating a trade deal with china hes likely negotiating a trade deal with Great Britain as soon as they drop out of you hes by the way theres going to be i would my bet i bet 10. 00 theres going to be a Supreme Court nominee in the next 3 months so now you have a president under the cloud of impeachment so will they say i think they will we cant make these decisions hes not qualified we cant let him decide these things this is about throwing sand in the gears of governing i think sometimes wed agree less governing and less passing laws we good but i dont think anything will be decided by election day except that by nobody out because of this and Elizabeth Warren or whoever will be running and saying look at past all that mess lets try something new. One of the things i think thats interesting is about the impeachment that like weve seen in the clinton impeachment was essentially because he lied about an extramarital affair not that he had one or that he lied about it and not that he was a kid is Sexual Misconduct with a whole bunch of totally credible women that wasnt a knock knock for bosnia just there were clear and then when you look at. The threat of impeachment to next and i resigned it was it was a. It was about a 1000000 other things it was a cover up to do this it was about a 1000000 other things carpet bombing cambodia i mean i know many reasons to say youre a danger why is that we only seem to see at least now is the threat to impeach a president or president for crimes related to the election. Not say lying about the iraq war or. Curating secret drone assassination as theyre conducting many of them i know of or it was only us and why are the whistleblowers of torture of these things why are those people not protected like the whistleblower who goes said something bad like we needed someone. But heres the thing when they designed the constitution the bar for impeachment was different they debated this they said what should it be and they made the bar very high as you point out i mean so and heres i agree with you in the sense were not talking about what those are political arguments we elect a president to make bad decisions or good decisions and we should have an election about that coming up this high crimes and misdemeanors for impeachment its not its not the kinds of things were hearing i just dont think now i just was talking to one of our tea journalists here who said trump looked terrible today and he did poorly what happens is you start to make mistakes right under a lot of pressure and you make a different mistake if youre nixon you make worse mistakes after the fact they give you a smoking gun and what i do think is a presence under incredible stress his team is to they may or may not have made mistakes in the past but they may make them now and when they make them now then someone to be there to point out and its a again thats part of the process i think what theyre doing and i think it goes back i think youre right i think you saw him at that u. N. Speech where its sort of like the way a lot of ways seems to be on time and it seems to be there and its theres a very Famous Television show called dr who and theres a point where a leader. Where someone wants to sort of just get at someone and. Its essentially someone whispers to someone next to them and says ok time. Thats right and i tell you that says its like well just prove that you have and then me and nancy pelosi is like that and its the most electioneering they can do heres my question do you think hes going to stay in the election if this goes on if hes going to for a 2nd time but if he does do you think hell do you think youll agree to debate whoever is the democratic nominee 100 percent look i mean one thing thats not being paid attention to is the weakness of the democratic candidate field you know again i was talking off air with one of the r. T. Journalists i mean trump is older but the field right now Sanders Biden and warren these are 70 year old folks theres not a lot of trump head to head still is competitive i dont think hell ever back down i think hell be in there i think will debate them all that a lot clearer out i think the more interesting question we just touched on i was once chief of staff to the governor we talked up there by your father and when youre in a scandal as we were the intensity of it all makes you you know make other mistakes in judgment and thats very usually the presidency is a huge benefit for an incumbent because you get all the power of the in this case you have all the weight of governing and all the way to the scandal but i think the president loves this action i know he looked tired today and i think he will use it to his advantage and remember this election is going to be about turnout and if the if the democrats pick a candidate whos not sanders and all the sanders people say boy were going back to one of those milk toast middle trump people are coming through fire to vote for him so its going to be a fascinating 15 months it does i think bother me and weve talked about it it does bother me though that in this country it seems that we care more about the political machinations of you know which party is in charge rather than what the actual president is ok and what theyre doing i mean weve seen scandal after scandal for both parties where i would look back and say you know lying about iraq a 1000000 people dead that some people you know that was orchestrated when you look back and say like obama like you mentioned killer drone list these are impeachable things. But yet those are high crimes and misdemeanors but you know or you know killing americans who are walking without a proper due trial which obama did these are all peaceable things and here we are just kind of stuck on the crossroads of you know impeach over electioneering and things like that but i got to say thank you so much for that honesty by you havent you sir and always a pleasure.

The ghost of russia gave past every turn this week this former National Security advisor to president Obama Michael flynn is back in the headlines with one currently awaiting sentencing on charges of lying to investigators during the moeller probe theres been a curious turn in the Court Case Involving one of flynns former Business Partners who was also swept up in russia investigations are 2 americas there are months as soca has the story. In an unexpected turn on tuesday a federal court in virginia overturned a case against Michael Flint ex business partner. And how he was often referred to as key and the conviction came in july when he was violating Foreign Agent registration act or far eastern up Court District in Virginia Judge anthony trained dismissed all accounts citing insufficient evidence the evidence was insufficient as a matter of law for the jury to convict rafiki and on either count a new trial would be warranted in the interest of justice should the courts judgment of acquittal be later vacated or a versed came into the picture under the probe of russian interference the jury convicted him of operating as a turkish government agent while intentionally failing to notify u. S. Officials of his work trying to point out. The doubts as to why you were so quick to convict in just 3 hours he and worked with glenn prior to joining the trumpet ministration for former flynn in telegram their work included efforts to extradite a muslim cleric living in the u. S. Back to his homeland of turkey this decision is a 2nd blow to the Justice Department who has more recently cracked down on unregistered lobbying by foreign governments earlier this month former white House Counsel Gregory Craig who worked under the Obama Administration was recently found not guilty for lying about his work with ukraine this all terms former National Security adviser Michael Flynn awaits a sentence on his plea when he admitted to lying to investigators about his contact with the Russian Ambassador during trumps transition and earlier this week attorney said the powell said former National Security advisor Michael Flynn will invoke his 5th amendment rights and will not testify before the House Intelligence Committee power who are placed plans previous attorney a few months back wrote that he refuses to be paraded harassed or disparaged by committee chair. Powell is also pressing for some time seeking a court order to force the government to turn over more materials obtained from the plane case or remains to be seen if and how these cases will impact Michael Flynn sentence which is set for december 18th or if it will be pushed once again. Or as you know terribly and your such huge for him is michael. Its interesting to see kind of all of these cases connected to the Rush Limbaugh were pro bowler part and one thing that i notice is a certain mentioned judge you have to be trying to theres also the same struggle judge we actually just talked about recently ruled that terrorist screening databases are actually violate Constitutional Rights of american citizens who are out of so this judge is clearly can avoid getting him hes definitely making a name for himself as a probable jobs in some of these i profile cases and what his decision would you know early july 1 of the other things like not been a really good year for russia gaev. In these court cases afterward so in early july u. S. District judge Dabney Friedrich role that u. S. Attorney general william bar and Robert Muller violated court rules in public statements about saying that the russian firm Concord Management consulting with connected to the russian government so there were certain things where they were saying that things happened and that certain connections were proven and made and they werent just because somebody does work with people who live in russia or people who do business with the russian government doesnt ultimately mean that everything thats connected goes there is through there and i think thats one of the main threads that will that will have to sort of be related gated through russia gate as that simple proximity is not enough and we did this with. Terrorism and weve done it with you know now russia gate if youre near or anybody who looks or sounds or might be or knows the word terrorist then youre a terrorist by association well if you know anyone who is russian youre guilty by association or. You know youre not a horrible person who judges people by what magical lines they were born and just throwing it out there like. Since march of this year boeing 737 max has been grounded across the globe up for 2 fatal crashes of the narrow body aircraft in 2018 in 2019 now a whistleblower report has revealed that some federal Aviation Administration inspectors for the boeing 737 max planes were under qualified and actually misled lawmakers about that fact r t correspondent correspondent burned brunswick over the story. This latest federal investigation found that federal Aviation Administration inspectors werent all qualified and that revealed the f. A. A. And boeing had a very cozy relationship now this all stems from a whistleblowers complaint about the qualifications of federal Aviation Administration inspectors who worked on training requirements for the boeing 737 max planes the f. A. A. Is office of audit and evaluation found that only 16 of the 22 safety inspectors didnt even complete the formal training and 11 of those 16 that never finished didnt even have Flight Instructor certificates however back in april the f. A. A. Told a senate panel that all of their inspectors for the boeing 737. 00 max were qualified but the special counsel henry kerner released this statement the f. A. A. Is intrusted with the critically Important Role of insuring Aircraft Safety as a failure to ensure safety inspector competency for these. Aircraft puts the flying public at risk well the f. A. A. Fired back with this statement we remain confident in our representation in the congress and in the work of our aviation Safety Professionals all of the aviation safety inspectors who participated in the evaluation of the boeing 737. 00 max were fully qualified for those activities some 37. 00 max has been grounded worldwide since march after there were 2 crashes within 5 months of each other that claimed the lives of all 346. 00 on board today boeing will start to pay Financial Assistance to the families of those victims thats a total of 50000000. 00 but the news of this has not gone down well with these victims families with many calling this move disingenuous on april forward 3 weeks after the did so for my family in what i have since learned is the shameful part of behavior by boeing and money for trust boeing shifted focus from the root cause of the crashes which is the design flaw in the 737 marks and then cuss and started talking about 14 pilots. These distracted. From what i read close to the crush is. An insult to money to each country will decide for itself whether or not the boeing 737. 00 max will return to its friendly skies airlines are still waiting on the f. A. A. To approve the plane and boeing says it hopes the 737 is back in service by the end of 2019 for watching the hawks im fair in front back. Well while its kind of interesting because boeing used to have amongst those in the Aeronautics Industry had this very proud of being having a Safety Culture where everything was around safety everything it was about making sure the engineers were at the top and making decisions and that has sort of gone down to the you know gone to the wayside as year after year theyre either you know theyre buying up big or you know other Smaller Companies theyre going and doing all of these deals and trying to maximize profits so one of the things that happened was that before the 737 max was ever even a development ploy so the f. A. A. Had raised the alarm in 2012 that boeing had too much power and was a little too cozy with the f. A. A. And its Decision Making a lot of people even said that there were retaliated against for speaking up when they did have concerns and now here we are 7 years later and you have 2 major plans and theyre like oh weve got it were going to back up its just its not entirely great thing when you look at it because one of these have to realize is on the board of directors and all these people theres no pilots theres no engineers i mean 11 i think maybe the c. E. O. Has like a pilot. But these are not people who build airplanes to do anything they think about maximizing profit. That goes with. The new republic the airplane manufacturing mortgage lending or. Distribution or make believe blood and malice is software another cash for the one percent bound inexorably for the slaughterhouse doesnt have the language right there but from what you told me about absolutely true when you have people but even though he was a pilot or an engineer and there was a lot of what they want to hear of a Safety Culture to one in which engineers were kind of who when they said things and safety things understand the Software Issue that was honest pilots werent told about it because boeing and their people felt it would just overwhelm them with information oh come on thats not a safety thats not a culture of safety that is not somebody im not getting in those plans and i dont really think that. This week more than 4000000 people of all ages participated in a series of climate strikes led by students like us use climate strike director 16 year old anya sitter and 13 year old water advocate autumn peltier in addition 7000. 00 drawings from more than 30 countries are being exhibited in rome italy at the iconic coliseum it will be the largest collection of childrens peace drawings in the world named colors of peace the exhibit asked children to show us what this piece look like to you here with all the kids out there fighting for a Better Future helping to save the world for all of us and triggering so many nihilists with a little bit of hope true and. Its very beautiful to. Get so triggered when kids like it ok to stand up and say hey we want a Better Future. And i have no idea i dont understand it either i find the whole idea if you are seriously like im up by the fact that a 16 Year Old Girl a bunch without a bunch of other 1617 and like are you there are drawing pictures are being part of these things or going out and and being part of you know environmental. Causes and all of that youve got to look at the mayor and ask yourself why youre so triggered by a teenager and why you know these are the same people most likely who made 100000 excuses excuses for the behavior of the covington. And so its like look if its they have a right to come here and try to take what my you know my rights as a woman away from me these kids are allowed to save the planet and if were going to respect the kids and what theyre doing then i have to go both ways and you have to really like respect i think you and i both are excited to see him that you and kids like this come together talking means were going to take a break right time to save the world every day all right for this speaking of a break is a long one that is our show for today remember on in this world that were above the wall. I will print out a lot less people watch all those folks up there are over break.
