Transcripts For RT Watching The Hawks 20240713

Out because the rockets were launched from a sunni muslim part of her cook province notorious this province is notorious for attacks by the Islamic State a Sunni Terrorist Group which would have made the area hostile territory for these shiite militias like the the top hezbollah some in fact some of those same iraqi intelligence officials well they dont have direct evidence believe the attack was more than likely carried out by. Wait for it. Because not only did isis carry out 3 attacks near the base just 10 days prior but a key yeah kiya pickup truck used in the attack was found less than a 1000 feet from an isis execution site. You know it did reminds me of something its its almost like the United States government was ignoring the on the ground evidence in order to justify military action against iran. Like they did with the rock and 911. Like i said on a long enough time line the truth will always come forward now lets start watching the hawks. If you want to know whats going on a city you. Streets. Are so lets see. This is the joyce state. Rice grace suggests least systemic deception is delayed so what should be some real. World women watching the hard. For him joining me today to discuss this new twist is what a democratic strategist mr krause and we should thank you very much for coming on boy oh boy this is an interesting twist to that story weve been told over and over again right absolutely interesting but not exactly surprising what would have been surprising is President Trump coming out in proclaiming that this was instigated after saying bad he had eradicated i think thats a really hard thing to do when youve spent this entire administration especially the last 2 years talking about how if this is no longer a threat and that isis has been destabilized if that the caliphate is gone and we all know these things to not be true but this administration continues to tell it and he has to felt like he had to sell an argument as to why he killed so the money as you know and many of your viewers as well there was a lot going wrong for the president around the time that he decided to take the money out one of the main issues was the coverage of the impeachment and he got tired of having it over his head over and over again and wanted to give his give his campaign give his supporters Something Else to focus on and there isnt a better thing in any republicans mind to shift the focus then getting rid of any type of terrorist bill anybody who they can link to terrorist activity its interesting because you see that play out a lot in response to this new twist the president of the national rainin American Council he actually tweeted al qaeda attacked the us on 911. 00 and we went to war with iraq if this report is true isis attacked the u. S. And we nearly went to war with iran and i have to wonder is this to get another one of those examples where the United States government kind of manipulated. Evidence to justify a war that they want to commit politically but its not actually justified by any kind of real hatred or real threat to the United States or the soldiers that we have around the world i absolutely believe that is the big difference between 911 and today is the fact that now americans know just how much we didnt know during 911 there were a lot of people who were onboard because of what the government with telling us today looking back in retrospect as to how much was given to the it was given to them merican publicly turned out to be faulty information by those intelligence agencies today we know that that was a problem and the lack of trust that exists is really high so to have this Administration Come out and say that solar money was an imminent threat and then to tell us what that imminent threat was or why 4 different administrations across 2 different Political Parties all said no be mindful that the money has been on a watch list for many people at the white house for decades at this point and everyone has not pulled the trigger it wasnt that this administration smoked him out of some hole or knew how to find him everyone knew exactly what he was and what he was doing and it was that there was no reason to go in and take him out make think that this president this administration has a lot of explaining to do they do what they do and i think i think you raise a good point too is that i think that the a lot of people mel both both at least not maybe not mainstream journalism but outside of you know a lot of independent journalism were much more liable to question we want to say ok is this really what youre telling us pentagon is this really what youre telling Us White House or are you again feeding us false information just to achieve your own ends and i think that that level of cynicism is important given what happened with 911. 00 in iraq interesting this week also saw the u. S. Congress step up and pass bipartisan the new bipartisan war powers resolution that quote would require trump to remove u. S. Troops engaged in hostilities against iran unless Congress Declared war or passed this was a specific authorization for the use of military force theres a coffee out obviously that says that if we are under direct threat. We can the president can make that decision still without having to go to congress but is this a one off political links i know theres a lot of republicans that jumped over the original democratic legislation is this a one off or are we seeing a change in attitude where Congress Actually is going to do what theyre constitutionally constitutionally supposed to do which is control whether or not the u. S. Decides to go to war or not i would like to believe the latter but 2020 is an Election Year and what this is a whole lot of people understanding that the American Public no matter what side youre on does not want to see us go into war at all so i think that this was very smart of republicans to finally jump on board with democrats on this but i also cant say that they did it because this is them being bound by the constitution they have a great great understanding of when they want to use the constitution and when they dont and i think that in this case they saw the writing on the wall boaters dont want to go to war they dont unless there is something that is a grave injustice done to the American People if there is a direct attack against which everybody understands then the president can obviously declare war we dont have to go through the process of congressional approval outside of that they dont want any president to have that level of power to walk us into a one again a lot of that goes back to what we saw during 911 i dont think that the american understanding or vision is totally totally invisible at this point we know what that looks like and they dont trust any president democrat or conservative to move into this without having that level of congressional oversight i would hope not i mean thats why they thats why they give congress that oversight. That makes me makes me sad because it also points out the fact that so many in the us or against this congress and all of our elected officials still kind of very like you know its an interesting dichotomy right there are but this next story is really interesting and youre going to love this lets move now from the world. War world to the sporting world of the Human Experience of the u. S. And world prepare themselves for the valentines Weekend Edition of this years n. B. A. All. Star game its the College Sporting news that actually is catching a lot of our attention 1st to the great state of ohio where 2 Ohio State University Football Players were actually punished actually punished by the University Sports program for their conduct off the field i know its shocking its being reported the defensive backs a mere wrap and jason when were kicked off the team after being charged with rape and kidnapping meanwhile the Associated Press is reporting that while the u. S. Congress considers whether to allow College Athletes to receive indorsement money the n. C. Double a and its allies spent at least 750000. 00 just last year lobbying lawmakers to shape any reforms to the organizations like 750000. 00 on lobbying just to keep kids making you hundreds of millions of dollars from getting paid indorsements interesting joining us now to break down these 2 stories is r t america sports producer regina hamburg always a pleasure thank you. Wow you know why dont we yeah horrific moves in the world of College Football with these 2 athletes and what theyre being charged with what happened with ohio state and does this highlight the problem with how schools specifically have what it departments to handle such well so allegations. Which are you know it said this girls 19 years old these are 2 senior players on the team and they not only one of them actually agreed initially to have consensual sex she agreed and then took that consent back which she has every right in the world to do and then he proceeded to rape her and then his friend came in and its are horrific things this is not new in the College Sports world baylor had a decade long incident with nonsexual Sexual Assault and rape this is not new for athletic programs at ohio states case they kind of stood out in the way of their head coach ryan day did not sit around go oh well see how the investigation turns out he acted theyre gone from the team theyre on to their program now if you want to compare that to baylor wear head coach art briles and name a ring a Bell Ken Starr here thats an a in the wiring political and sports bells they were only fired after all this investigation happened half of these players in the baylor team are convicted till after the fact so youre seeing the teams here realizing you dont want to you dont want to be the next baylor you want to nip this in the bud and oh how state can be commended on that but this poor girl there may be other girls out there at a high state where these players maybe arent going to get the punishment they deserve wont listen to the governing body of College Athletics and also came under fire for lobbying of all things when they appear on capitol hill to talk about athletes receiving payment for their name image and likeness is there a concern the deep pockets of the are going to shape the debate the words the answer to Police Headquarters or actually in d. C. Fun fact one of the army but they do have a base here they have actually of course are further out west so the name engine likeness came about last year they wanted to actually start paying Athletes Division one athlete out of the 3 divisions of ca. So the only ones who actually get full athletic Scholarships Division to get partial where the financially meets it on an athletic basis and then if you go down to division 3 they play for love of the sport they do not get any sort of financial package from the scholarships partial or full they just get whatever may be academic grants or that they are met other Financial Aid so the answer is trying to push that thats enough for these athletes it when youre ready to do 3 its not you your names going to be on sports where youre going to be the promotional item for the game of the week why cant they make money off this the answer to play goes well its going to the amateurism is a problem these numbers up here are ridiculous fortunately 1000. 00 on lobbying meant to have flooded conses big 12 and the a. C. C. Is going to totals 300000. 00 in lobbying and the journey 14000000000. 00 so this is a drop in the bucket for them even to give kids a chance to earn that kind of money its ridiculous its extremely problematic in regina the bigger issue for me in this is that. If youve ever worked in government you know that lobbying is a part of that but beyond that it is where and how much the incidentally is doing in terms of the timeline because inflatable lay has received federal funding for a very long time the colleges that they represent have received federal funding for a very long time so it makes sense for them to have lobbyists the fact that they have doubled in lobbyist and it shows in some of the Major Players in the lobbying world over the course of the past few months in anticipation of this legislation passing in various states is a problem it is a huge problem as you see these athletes especially that are benefiting at a do you want school youll get about 2005000 in the safe in person master as an athlete which does sound like a lot of money when you take and remember. Thats a long time and its ridiculous thats not enough one of them to really jumps out at me but this is maybe we need to really step back and say you know given everything that weve seen with student loan abuse and things like that maybe its time to step back and say you know what are these universities all these colleges lets stop looking at them much Higher Education look at them what they are there in the business of education their job. Its to make money not to enlighten kids get out its out there into why he is in that sense our unpaid in place i guess maybe there interns at that point of whom i have had well bridget i want to say thank you so much for coming on always a pleasure having you on same to you im a sure great always when you want to look forward to having you on again all right everybody as we go to break our watchers dont forget to let us know what you think of the topics weve covered on our social media be sure to check out the watching the hawks podcast melvill on spotify apple music and everywhere you look in your favorite or not so favorite podcast you can also start watching the hawks on the man through the brand new portable t.

Tax rises financial Survival Guide lets learn a salad feel like lets say im not so i get in here at least im grease the fight. Thank you for. The story thats right. Slavery. We know in psychology that the more people are told that they cant or shouldnt do something whether its sexual or otherwise the more it makes them want to do it so trying new things violating taboos are some of the most common and per piece of elements in our sexual fantasies. In this community there are people who believe that its ok. Its really hard there are no jobs and you see that ive got kids that ask and as a parent. I can come up with arguments and theres a lot of conflicts within the games and between the teams most of the conflicts i would say are over balls around money and most of their money is made.

You dont care anymore nobody cares about you so your care might anything. All right welcome back everyone in light of the current to stay popular vote winning streak by vermont senator Bernie Sanders in the democratic president ial primary you know i think its time to talk a little socialism market watchers yes you know that strange and magical word that causes corporate cable news anchors and pundits from fox to m s n b c to lose their composure babbling on and on about communism and potential loss of freedoms i mean amazon b. C. Anger Chris Matthews upon just hearing the mere mention of the idea of having a possible democratic socialist president in Bernie Sanders for 4 years made this rather curious leap in logic i have an attitude that i remember the cold war i have an attitude towards castro i believe that castro and the rich had won the cold war there were executions in central park and i might have been one of the ones getting executed and certain other people would be there cheering so i have a problem with the other side i dont know the very very sports over these years i dont know what wow chris chris goes right through his own execution central park apartment during the word socialism so is this aeros 21st century democratic socialism going to lead us down to the path of stalin and communism and death and destruction oh well thankfully economist Richard Wolfe answers these questions and those fears along with a long and a whole lot more in a whole book and his new book aptly titled understanding socialism and he joins us now from new york city to help us understand socialism a little bit better richard thank you for coming on today always a pleasure. Thank you for having me lets just start with the basics to get all of the mass and the confusion out the way and all the mist take away all the mystery surrounding the concept in the world what is todays 21st son. You know socialism what is it what is it today. Well the only way the answer is i wish i could give you a simple summary but really its too big a phenomena to do that of 150 years ago nobody had heard of it today socialism exists in every country on the earth socialist newspapers socialist Political Parties and if you grow that quickly in that short a period of history you have many different interpretations and so Socialism Means Different Things to different people just like all the other important things in life too and if anyone tells you this is it talk to somebody else because theyre not being straight with you so let me try to summarize as quickly as i can there are 3 basic theories or kinds of socialism one of them is the idea that the government should step in and regulate what is still a private economy but to make sure that theres a minimum wage that people pay taxes in such a way that the more you word the bigger the pie you have to make up for the collective things in this society that its good to have a public park its good to have not be extremes of wealth and poverty and that kind of socialism is what you see in the scandinavian countries in places like germany and italy and france as well and in other parts of the world theres a 2nd car that thinks the 1st one didnt go far enough they dont think you can get the society they want one thats roughly egalitarianism unless the government doesnt just regulate industries but really takes over and runs them in the way that weve come to think about the soviet union and earlier parts of of china its not that way anymore but then theres a 3rd one which is very critical and dissatisfied with the 1st 2 which believes that what Socialism Means or should mean is a radical change in how we organize. Our work we shouldnt have a small group of people in the company telling everybody else what to do employers are a minority employees are the majority and that problem the undemocratic nature of enterprise is what the current and growing kind of socialism is all about it wants workers to become their own bosses to be able to run their own businesses as a collective as a community and not have the endless struggle between the few at the top who make all the decisions and everybody else who has to live with those 3 kinds of socialism exist and they go in Different Directions and they have pretty heavy debates among themselves just to give you an idea of the diversity of thinking that is modern social that you know that is faster to get out i think you actually broke that ballot as well as anyone could given like as you said you the many different iterations of it but this 3rd one that you mention the idea of the you know the workers and getting that large group of workers their rights you know thats really captured a lot of the imaginations of this generation of voters especially here in the United States you know why do you think that is why why is that particular branch of socialism so popular here. Great question and there are 2 basic answers the 1st one let me be very brief the 1st one is look we have to be honest i was born in ohio pretty much the middle of the United States ive lived here all my life my entire life 70 years roughly of the last 70 years of my life which is the last 70 years of this country i have been subjected as a student as a churchgoer as whatever i did to a barrage that socialism and communism are the sum total of horrible its the kind of thinking that made Chris Matthews lose it there in the way of the clip that you showed and so its not so surprising that people are very leery when they hear about the government regulating or the government taking over so its not so surprising that as a new generation finds reasons to think we can do better than capitalism that it goes to that 3rd one but the other reason why people go to the 3rd one in the United States is that its an exciting idea of democracy i think most americans take that idea seriously they want that they want the decisions that affect them to be decisions they can participate in the way we do and we elect our political officials at the very least and they want that in the workplace why they ask if democracy is as good as everybody tells us it is why didnt it go into the workplace look after all as adults thats where we spend 5. 07 days the best hours of those 5 days if democracy is valuable which people like young people interested in socialism certainly believe it is they want to see it in the work place they wanted to be run as a democratic one person one Vote Community and thats a direction that said track is that doesnt get you into those. Old stale debates about what the government should or shouldnt be doing because it really focuses somewhere else and i think thats why youll see that but take it literally younger people in America Today are finding that the capitalism they are told to accept leaves a lot to be desired and this kind of socialism leaves a lot to be attractive i think i couldnt agree with you more and i think i think your so i think that is a very popular way of looking at it because it is a kind of you know were all brothers and sisters and we all take care of each other and we make you know and it makes more efficient work you know and i mean you do your job better you know were seeing that too in that kind of work or coop Style Society that youre kind of referring to there and how does you know is that the future of socialism are we going to see it kind of driving more of that direction as we move forward without expands ill beyond just the employer employee relationship but into other facets of our proverb of our lives. I think so and i think to be fair there were a lot of things that in russia and china didnt work well to put it as politely as i know how the you know the early experiments in socialism which is what russia was it was the 1st country in 1917 to try to go in that direction they made a lot of decisions which i as a young person would never want to do again i think there are lessons from the soviet union of what we shouldnt do that are just as important if not more than the lessons of what we should do but let me remind everyone capitalism didnt spring from the past fully formed all worked out a lot of experiments in trying to build the employer employee and system of capitalism had to be tried many failed before they kind of got it i think russia china cuba they did things which we have to learn not to do alongside things which they did well and this work a coop which only was a cage and only tried in those societies and never allowed to really develop is the direction that people who think we can do better than capitalism and im certainly one of those thats a direction i think we want to go in and i predict to you and i dont do much prediction but i predict that that kind of socialism is going to be catching more and more attention just like weve been surprised by the millions of americans attracted to Bernie Sanders despite his label were going to see more and more of it i see it in my classes as a professor i couldnt agree with you more i really think thats kind of the future of where politics and where this economy is going because the only way we can kind of keep this economy survives richard always thank you for coming on definitely check out the book understanding socialism always a president with pleasure richard will thank you so much sir.
