Transcripts For RT Watching The Hawks 20240713

Suspicion of doing anything wrong because you know who doesnt want folks like Christopher Ray Steven Elliot or william barr digging through your Search History online so all those supposed freedom protectors route storming state capitals armed to the teeth with guns and pretend patriotism you know the ones who got scared away from rain you know fighting for the right to reopen the bars and nail salons our elected officials in the u. S. Senate were busy shredding even more of our constitutional protections and bill of rights seriously by stay at home d orders they it has nothing nothing on the United States Congress Says when it comes to removing personal rights and freedoms here in the United States which is why my friends we are always watching the hawks. Whats going on in a city. That is so lets see this is this joyce state see a. Great city displaced systemic deception as they so choose. So youre. Going to watch the entire world with her and im a nice across Goodness Gracious so everyone was out there on Capitol Steps across the country in state after state saying we want our rights back we want to go outside we want to. Really be you know at home all the time. And then washington like passes actual things that violate peoples rights they passed things that actually you know it was real there was a show which is an extension of the old patriot act like that actually does violate u. S. Citizens rights regardless of what you know fancy lawyers want to say in congress or you know people justify that kind of thing and nary a peep or rally 8 interesting thing about this is that it did hit certain news way of cycles but it didnt get a lot of attention so i think that a lot of americans arent necessarily aware that this is happening what i did see on social media was a few libertarian groups come to speak out against it but thus far if it can a fail like a tree in the forest nobody heard it so i think that part of the reasoning is that there hasnt been enough Media Attention paid to it but in addition to that this is a very interesting time to push something a reauthorize Something Like this and congress more and more people are still looking towards another round of stimulus package theyre trying to figure out you know whats going to happen with the economy so for this to come up now and theyre not really be a large discussion in the grander sphere about it i think is largely in part because of the timing in the framework that makes sense and plus you know that you often see that happen whether by choice or i guess happenstance to go up and see these kind of interesting bills that strip away rights kind of always being passed through the cover of darkness usually theres some other bigger issue going on the kind of keeps everyone distracted and then thats the time where its like hey you know what the old ones reauthorize that which i was pretty funny when they labeled these bills they often label them with the exact opposite of the content of the bill when it comes to stop its controversial theres nothing freedom about allowing people led william barr. Or whoever these a. G. s down the line to start digging into our browsing history at all i think you know absolutely and it also brings to the question why because if you did the process of you going through and getting a warrant is not extremely long weve seen cases where within 24 hours one was given why would we need to obfuscate that process to go ahead and do things sooner and what types of not only violations of liberty and personal privacy but other things that this lead to because i know that there are a lot of people who probably dont want their browser history out there for the world to fear for anyone to see but in addition to that what gives you the leveraging power to do so outside of our current process i think that you know weve seen this this is a reactor i think since obviously weve had this process for your butt since the original time frame i think that the American Public has moved a lot more you know progressive when it came to ignore it when it came to forcefully pushing against having this level of scrutiny this level of privacy invasion and so its very interesting to me that even beyond all the protests began all the conversation weve seen over the past 67 years were now back in the exact things space it is really interesting to see that there was a few people that put up a little bit of a defense of this in the senate it now moves over to the house to see what happens there and you know was it steve dames republican of montana ron widen out a democrat or oregon and you know one of the rare times they get together and things they did offer up an amendment that would have prevented the use of section 215 for warrantless surveillance of internet searches which is what were talking about but that failed by just one vote for didnt show up one of them including Bernie Sanders didnt show up to vote failed by one vote some of the would have prevented that rand paul of all people surprisingly rand paul of kentucky he proposed an amendment that would have actually exempted americans from being able to be under fire as the Court Approved surveillance which is actually i think something that we really need to discuss and should be brought up that they all just you know 51128585 senators voted against that for. Keeping americans exempt from via the court which is what we saw abused during the whole russia gate controversy so its very interesting to see how you know theyre all joining up to crush 5 to keep by the court and despite the problems that weve seen with it over the years and what is the narrative around the necessity here because i know that sometimes in these arguments there is the we want to protect this nation against terrorism terrorism threats that we want to be able to intercept that type of communication or those different codings before incident actually occurs. But do we have evidence that this actually works i mean weve been weve been using this process for a long time now and then you know most of the evidence that youll see is usually the f. B. I. Paying some homeless person and then giving them the weapons and the idea in the bar you know i mean you obviously theres entrapment things or i look at and say thats clear entrapment you took some guy or some disgruntled some discreet almost person maybe a little less and gave them all of the technology gave them the bomb and said look we caught a terrorist plot you know thats not actually stopping terrorism very rarely do you stop a crime before it happens thats only in the movies and t. V. Shows. And flowers bloom wildlife run free and waterways and aquatic life enjoy a time of little to no Human Interaction coping 19 has provided a respite from Mother Nature but this is not a time for environmental activists to take a rest actually its time to sound the alarm even louder across america the u. S. Environmental Protection Agency has sued city and industry forcing them to clean up their act reducing pollution that threatens our air and Water Quality for example in my home state of illinois the wood river refinery was sued by the state and federal government for releasing toxic waste water directly into the Mississippi River 2 years ago they settled one lawsuit agreeing to spend 10 1000000. 00 for necessary upgrades and monitoring of the refinery as well as 500000. 00 to clean up the low income homes and buildings that were affected just an f. Why these blowing. Homes and buildings were home to Young Children and pregnant women whod been profoundly exposed to lead and other toxic emissions for years many of the children were born premature suffer from abnormalities and lived with a Life Long Health issues equated with the disaster now do you think the e. P. A. Pressure implants pushed the factory to do better but not so fast to look 66 the company that owns the wood river refinery has suspended all work on the lead Abatement Program they were required to complete this means that the thousands of lives the factory has put at risk over the years are still subject to lead unhealthy water and poor air quality the reason tobit 1000 and the department of justice seems to be helping the polluters issuing a problematic new policy the deal j. Recently said it would suspend the collection of penalties for violations of Consent Decrees and other enforcement orders as david baron managing attorney at the environmental nonprofit justice that settlement agreements and civil litigation are only as good as the governments willingness to watchdog the Consent Decree and make sure that the parties comply. That is that is huge news because i think we are all relieved a little bit when we started seeing you know because of the stay at home orders the majors get a little cleaned up and less air pollution is a good but you kind of got relieved in thinking that hey by the way theyre still cleaning up but mellow under the cover of like oh well we cant find anybody. To lunch money watch were just not cleaning anything exactly and these were major phased out plans the 1. 00 in illinois for example had 7 different phases to it in addition to obviously the money that was going to be used towards revamping some of these homes that were extremely damaging a lot of those are Public Housing projects some of them are regular standalone homes but in addition to that it is now you are pushing more people to be threatened even higher from covert one team because now they have they have this consistent live poisoning in a dish. Into the fact that they cant go anywhere so even the vigils are at their homes the water is definitely not clean water and on top of that they are dealing with a lot of the residuals from the land poisoning to begin with thats brutal when youre going to when you lay it out like that when you really think about that because its like ok now youve got to stay at home in your lead contaminated home you know these are things that are probably people were talking about Public Health that doesnt begin and just with cope with 19 Public Health is across the board Environmental Health is across the board and this is ridiculous but you know at the end of the day weve seen its big businesses over and over again kind of flirting. Throwing out the law or throwing out common sense just to kind of maintain not maintain any kind of Corporate Responsibility absolutely and its good that you point that out because b. P. Is probably one of the ones one of the larger corporations that would get that the most from this term from the department of justice because b. P. Has had a lot of regulatory issues particularly as it relates to environmental awareness and the Environmental Issues that theyve caused with oil spills and other things. Now they are basically sitting pretty unable to start a lot of the regulations because theyre there are no important checks during this time of covert 19 and shelter in place stay home orders no one is actually coming out to make sure that they are following the regulations that were designed for them i mean i do about one like ok theyre properly shut down and theyve got their employees at home and theyre probably no ones really working there so you dont have to worry about it but on the other hand. You know that youve got to keep these peoples feet to the fire because they will do anything anything to not have to be responsible or be held accountable for their actions in the past but the thing that suffers most of the families are theyre not like i mean these are people who are basically getting screwed over because no one is cleaning up their backyard now exactly and these are families who had protested these are families who had marched these are families who wrote letters to the editor these are families who came to d. C. I used to work for the e. P. A. In illinois and one of the most interesting things about this is that it takes years. For for any piece of litigation to come down from the federal government when it relates to environmental policy and Environmental Protection so you have families who have had issues with their water with liquid thing for the past 35 years because of this plant and they were just beginning to see some level of relief and terms of in terms of the litigation back 2 years ago and the regulations that were given then for the reopening of the plant for them to you know basically right their wrongs was a multistage process theyre not even finished with phase one and now they are basically issuing issuing statements that they cant do the other 6 or 7 because the code 19 and it really is garbage its like you cant use that excuse. I have been working on it too its like were going to see this job all across the board with bar making that decision are pretty much absolutely so illinois is one example but were also seeing this in dallas were also seeing it in different areas across florida right now there are over 350 Consent Decrees in the United States for major corporations you know smoke that buildings and all these other things that have really created some problems for the local residents either because theyre dumping unhealthy things in the water or because they have serious air quality issues there exacerbated now by the fact that all of that is actually making it worse for families who are trying to protect themselves from covert 19 so in the one hand you have regulators who cant go in because of the stay at home waters on the other you have parents and children who are at home but are also being extremely exposed and because of that exposure their risk of 19 is a lot higher. And i always remember to these are also people who are probably in the poorest of communities were going to have to face this directly head on well the people who own the companies who are living in the rich communities they dont have to worry about loading their water they dont worry about these kind of toxic chemicals in their environment its Gross Gross Gross gross were going to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on the man to the brand new portable t.

This app will be available on more devices coming soon and coming up on the show tensions are once again rising between the United States and iran this time over by those where you are to murder virtual blevins brings us the full story stay tuned to watch it looks. A little. To nothing she. Says you do said you can. Join us on. The b. B. C. In all these shows about this stuff but dont take care of this was fake fake finger if you would think hes going to go do we know its a way to. See if we more. Or less dipped out your nice to see if we can finish a pretty good news that you think leads you to the police and. I know this because i can eat fish eats fish is just put up a little. Extra. Sense stand there while there are jam United States has been the unbelievable winner at the global geographic macroeconomic gambling casino sure would. The World Reserve currency and really smart intelligent financial engineers and Software Engineers but that. Has run up im thats my thought is that this pandemic has exposed incredible wallner abilities in the United States and the United Kingdom and thats going to be painful its going to be a very painful next 10 to 15 years. 2 of the countries that have been the subject of rigorous sanctions from the United States are now working together if iran ships fuel to venezuela the u. S. Is reportedly looking for ways to intervene which could signal a new conflict amid increased tensions parties Rachel Blevins joins us now to discuss the details welcome thank you for having what is the latest conflict phrase we have these reports that iran is in the process of sending supplies to venezuela and now were sort of waiting to figure out what the United States is going to do and there are reports of the u. S. Is planning on intervening in some way and that could be directly through sending u. S. Navy ships out to the Caribbean Sea to try to stop these 5 iranian tankers that are carrying more than 45000000. 00 worth of gasoline and supplies so they could try to stop them in their path before they even get to venezuela now the u. S. Has yet to confirm that but we do know that they have these incredibly strict sanctions im both iran and venezuela and theyve really spent the last year trying to cut these countries off from the rest of the world its really breaking my heart here in this because it sounds like my dad used to describe the way we used to sanction cuban we still do but the way would you know the whole cuba versus the u. S. That back in the sixtys with the blockade things like that now were seeing this going how has iran responded to the reports that you wish may actually intercept their ships in korean waters while iran went ahead of this and they submitted a complaint to the United Nations and they said look if the. U. S. Tries to stop or tankers in the sea we will treat it as an illegal act of piracy and any consequences that come out of that will be washingtons fault now a spokesperson for Irans Foreign Ministry is also speaking out and hes saying that its not up to washington to dictate where running tankers are around the world to say oh you know but i dont care what american stated regarding our oil tankers in various locations around the world it is illegal and shameful if they make any moves against the legitimate sealing of our ships definitely pleats reaction by the Islamic Republic of iran. Now at the same time irans Supreme Leader is also renewing calls for u. S. Troops to get out of iraq and syria and he went as far as to say that if they didnt leave voluntarily they would be expelled now its not clear yet exactly how that would happen but a Statement Like that is enough to increase tensions even further between the u. S. And iran. Very sticky situation how the u. S. Sanctions impacted both countries where will the u. S. Is pacifically targeted countries that are known for their oil reserves and they have done everything they can to cut off their business and hurt their economies and that has had a major impact specifically on the civilians of these countries especially when it comes to getting access to medical supplies and even basic things like food and clean water now this partnership that were seeing between iran and venezuela is coming up because theyre saying ways that they can Work Together in a minimal way because iran has the chemicals that venezuela needs in order to refine its crude oil but of course because the u. S. Does have these sanctions in place it is likely to want to intervene in some way and this is really frustrating at a time when we have a pandemic going on right now and countries around the world have called for the u. S. To back off on these sanctions for the civilians if nothing else but thats only made the trumpet ministration double down on it seems and its said that its not going to remove the sanctions on iran unless it goes along with its nuclear demands and its not going to remove the same sense of menace will unless they overthrow their government. Im going to go out on the limb and i kind of just look at it and say it makes sense that theyre doubling down on that because right now the trumpet ministration Even Congress u. S. Elected officials are looking for any kind of thing to distract from the fact that what over 90000. 00 citizens abide now and anything to distract from that whether its a war or conflict or whatever they want to call it is one of those things right. Absolutely and i feel like you know theres such tension around us while we have a very interesting in story past not only in terms of sanctions but also just our relationship broadly that this is this is par for the course it is is there anything i mean where do we see this going when do you think that these ships will actually intercept if they get into the caribbean do they know well this is hopefully something that will figure out in the next 24 hours in terms of if there is you know its one of those things because the u. S. Hasnt said anything about it now its just kind of a waiting game to see are they actually going to put their men at risk and send them right up to these iranian tankers or are they going to do something where they decide to bring in more sanctions or try to take other measures but at the same time it is interesting to see that you countries that have been sanctioned the hardest by the United States right now have found a way to Work Together if it is that way and not surprising not surprising rachel thank you so much for that report thank you. Sometimes the course of future history has changed with just a single action or even a single persons demise chinas ambassador to israel has been found dead at his home near tel aviv although the circumstances do not seem suspicious the incident is still bringing chinas relationship with israel into the spotlight and the United States is not too happy about that arties alex mahela which has the story of. A seasoned diplomat chinas ambassador to israel has died that is a Chinese Ambassador to israel 2 way died on may 17th which he was courting to preliminary diagnosis is due way died unexpectedly of Health Reasons and the specifics need further verification 57 year old. Why was found dead in his residence by an Embassy Worker shortly after forensic teams and the police were at the location carrying out the investigation into his death according to israel media there were no signs of violence at the scene it is believed that he died in his sleep most likely due to a heart attack but authorities are looking into all possibilities as the Investigation Continues do i served in Chinas Ministry of Foreign Affairs for more than 30 years and was married with one son his family was not with him in israel prior to taking his role in israel do i was a diplomat for china in ukraine for 3 years he arrived in israel to fill his latest role on february the 15th at which time he wanted to quarantine for 2 weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic although his placement was relatively short due i did make an impact as chinas ambassador to israel heres a tweet from israels former foreign minister is they all cots shocked to hear tragic news related to the sudden death of his excellence he do y. And bassett or do was a distinguished career diplomat and during his short time in israel had already contributed to the bilateral relations between the countries according to the Chinese Embassy in israel in 2018 chinas investment in israel accounted for 0. 4 percent of all Chinese Foreign investment and 3 percent of all Foreign Investment into israel do y. Was vocal about expanding this relationship but at the same time defended china from criticism when it comes to covert 19 in april do y. Told the hebrew newspaper israel high ohm in history it has happened many times when the causes of diseases were wrongfully blamed on a specific group of people which is despicable and should be condemned the disease is the enemy of all mankind and the world must fight it together. When it comes to china and israel working together as with chinas relation to the coronavirus the u. S. Has been very critical due wise death comes just days after u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei of visited israel in what appeared to be an attempt to convince the Israeli Government to limit Chinese Investment washington is not happy with israels growing cooperation with china particularly with projects like the haifa Port Terminal which is being constructed and will be operated by a Chinese Company but pompei oh and President Trump of war does are all but if it does not curb its ties with china the u. S. May have to cut back its cooperation with israel china and israel however seem to be committed to cementing a trusting relationship and that could even be seen as the investigation and to do wise death continues. China is sending a special team to tel aviv to investigate the death and israels foreign minister told his chinese counterpart that his ministry will help the Chinese Embassy with anything be a need regarding the passing of the ambassador for r t m alex my love it. To those fascinating work by alex there its interesting how to help this one mans death is kind of like brought all of these tensions and all of these interesting kind of behind the scenes moving and shaking to the forefront of the u. S. Trying to combat chinas influence in the world absolutely and the u. S. For its part is trying very very very very hard right now to make sure that chinas role is diminished to make sure that they are punishing china to the fullest extent and i think that this is one of those instances where were probably going to see a backfire i think so too i mean do you think i mean i want to ask you do you think that like this idea that like we want to blame china for all of this and blame china for the virus is that just kind of more of a smoke and mirrors thing to kind of cover the longstanding summit going back to obama even bush of this push into the pacific into kind of countering china in that region i think thats 100 percent correct this has given the Trump Administration cover for something that u. S. Foreign policy has engaged in actually for very long time unsuccessfully but this point i think that if you can make another American People feel like the chinese created something toward their demise that it gives the white house it gives the any administration a lot more leverage in pushing against china in a way that we havent necessarily thing ramped up before the interesting weve got to just understand that china is the big dog on the block youre not just going to get rid of them through other interests standard Old School Ways but its going to get gross before it gets better that are to go to that is our show for you today remember everyone in this world were not told to love them up so i tell you all i love you. And im in the shiprock keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and night everybody. During the vietnam war u. S. Forces. It was a secret war.

You are no offense but you no longer a young woman in fact you are one of the last living survivors of the nazi else asked and im aware of it. And leave the debt all you like.
