Transcripts For RT Watching The Hawks 20240713

Deeply that they decided to stay at home rather than legislate thus preventing every taxpaying resident of the state of michigan a smoothly functioning government in a time of crisis all because they were asked to stay indoors during a pandemic seems the moderate taliban really only cares about their own rights and nobody elses meanwhile way down in the great state of texas there is another protest involving weapons taking place but in this one the protesters are unarmed and are actually calling for safety over selfishness akil alessi of the intercept reports that workers at lockheed martins plant in Fort Worth Texas have protested the reopening of their facilities saying they were concerned about exposing family members to the virus and that the company wasnt properly cleaning facilities remember it was these merchants of dep that we have actually called the. Bents industry that lobbied the u. S. Congress to declare these workers essential employees because Good Parenting nothing nothing is more essential to the safety of every us citizen in the time of pandemic than being able to make and supply 2000000000. 00 worth of weapons sales to india morocco in the philippines. So today my friends lets use that most powerful of weapons of all our hearts and our minds and let us start watching the hawks. On a city street. Like. This you always see. Graves see this least systemic deception is so much. Welcome what all the watching the entire world the night with a surprise major are we doing today its a wild day when you see protests once again it seems like every week theres new protests we talk about them on the show and you know on them but the find out last week that the protests that we talked about in early early may and april were so scary to the Michigan Legislature that they decided not to go into session last week thats pretty pretty bold and pretty brutal it is its also one of those things where if you have someone who you know many someone walk up and they all have weapons on them they all have rifles or you know these high capacity weapons and theyre just standing there literally to invoke fear thats the only reason you protest with a weapon you know it makes sense for them to be afraid a lot of these legislators were also getting hate mail they were getting harassed on social media they were getting threatened so theres a lot more to it than that as well and these people have families themselves theyre just trying to enforce regulation to protect people i mean thats the idea behind it and to me its like it always bothered me even when i went back to the bundys when i saw this many years ago when they did their kind of take over there look i can be totally understand. If youre proud of your plight and your protest but you dont need the gun no ones no one stepping until police are coming and throwing you down on the ground and arresting you and beating you. Mercilessly cant talk to. Them i can understand like hey we need some protection we need we need people out here to protect the protests but no ones done that to these protesters they showed up at the go with weapons in hand youre absolutely right theyre trying to stage this red state versus blue state or its almost a nother civil war of sorts because there is the impression that they have and theyve gotten from President Trump in terms of his leadership on this has been you fight back you hes basically through his tweets armed militia and it was this thing then go out and do these things and he cheers them on when they do it he retreats their comments he retreats the photos of them acting crazy this is something that he sees as a way to victory in november and it doesnt help when you know the name of your approach to the reason that theyre going to shut down and. There was was the name of the protest was called judgment day but doesnt rule sound was going to be peaceful when you use terms like. I also want to talk about theres the firms workers who were also seen kind of pushing back against the primes industry saying hey look you called us a central boyers but at least take the time to give us a safe working environment so were not getting sick while we continue to make these bombs and i appreciate them sounding the alarm because right now i probably wouldnt consider them the most that work the most essential but you know since our government does they have to do what they have to do but just like were fighting in all types of factories and other organizations and you know the wal marts of the world and things like that they should be protected as well they have a right to that level of protection and to expect them to consistently make these weapons that we regularly use and to not have that protection. Incentives that are about us it does and its interesting because the boeing they have their problems the prime contractor for the missile sales to morocco and india as part. Theres a big group there plant in st louis already had confirmed 15 cases a crow virus 15 a General Electric plant in lynn massachusetts which is a prime contractor for this apology helicopter deal that weve got going most all these weapons are going to other places around the world too its not even like oh were making weapons to secure the home front now were making weapons to sell them around the world. However still the philippines is kind of this plant the General Electric plant their workers have held multiple demonstrations including a strike as recently as april 8th and have a standard ever standing petition that simply asked General Electric to quote fix appalling safety conditions at the silty and allow workers to manufacture lifesaving ventilators for the whole country rather than our. Wide crazy idea crazy admit like whew wait we could make life saving things rather than missiles in a time of crisis where we need lifesaving supplies i mean blow my mind but none of these people showed up to the plants with guns i wonder if theyd have showed up with guns to the gun making plans of suddenly theyd be listening to the irony meter. That would be really interesting to see but ultimately i dont believe in a new group b. I dont think the guns or anything like that you dont need to bring those to protest because to me it changes how the outside world perceives your protest this would absolutely make sense if there was a protests having anything to do with gun rights just true since it is absolutely not nothing with a me thing is that you know these people are justified this is literally a protest so that they can invoke the end and fear is what theyre invoking when you get a legislature shut down thereby denying the rights of every taxpayer as i mentioned earlier in that state michigan to actually have a successfully working government thats not thats not what the protests want what biting for peoples rights is about is the take away everyone elses rights just so you can shepherd your own. Home schooling has always been somewhat of a lightning rod topic for some reason parents choosing to remain. Their kids from government run institutions and provide education at home is seen as apocalyptic and a force that needs to be stopped what could those kids possibly be doing at home are religious zealots training the next generation of intolerant domestic terrorists are these kids ever going to have social skills obviously these questions and those like them are really offensive what we know is an overwhelming majority of homeschooled students are light years ahead of their Traditional School peers they excel in reading writing math science Foreign Languages their regular pictures and National Spelling bees and other competitions theyre also except that the highest levels into the nations top colleges and universities institutions Like Harvard University yet the elite college seems to have a bone to pick with homeschooling parents in the 3rd published article in less than a month the harvard visits most recent assault on this form of School Choice is titled a warning on homeschooling and it Elizabeth Bartholet a Law School Professor and faculty director of the child at the Advocacy Program at harvard law spews a lot of nonsense she argues the following homeschooling is unregulated and emphasizes conservative christian values the homeschooling lobby is more powerful than the gun lobby homeschooling can lead to increases in child abuse and neglect essentially homeschooling could in the world as we know it. The issue here is there are so many fault lines in her reasoning that we cant even begin to list them all and shes not the only one at harvard with these issues in a harvard is a piece published just last week another author trying to make a connection between Home School Students and racism because you know learning at home is a recipe for future k. K. K. Member. Harvard is going all out to assail homeschooling parents ask yourselves why. That is a good question we should be. Because to me i dont my personal opinion i dont like you when you go after an entire group of people because of that you might see a few bad cases here and there you know about me is not what you should be doing with homeschooling i mean you know you have 1st hand knowledge of homeschooled youth i dont think its that i mean if people are educated enough to teach your kids at home and they follow i can understand like an idea of what can you do we want to maybe regulate this a little bit make sure everyones getting taught correctly i can understand why attack entire group of people absolutely and i think that there are some issues with her lines of attack but in addition to that the comparative analysis she seems to be trying to make to traditional Public Schools is also problematic because if youre someone who has been educating the Public School system or has worked in the Public School system you know that there are several fault lines within that system in and of itself from the school to prison pipeline to lack of Adequate Funding to resource allocation when it comes to the amount of special education students teachers you may need to serve students english as a 2nd language overcrowded classrooms and the list goes on and on and on so theres not a you know haven of sorts for students even in the traditional Public School but were seeing more and more of these aggressive anti home schooling articles and pieces come out now because folks are very afraid that during this time of coronavirus where a lot of students are at home they are going to be some parents who decide to homeschool indefinitely or to do it you know longer beyond the extent of schools being shut down well and if they see their child excel and they have every and they have the ability to do it i mean thats the biggest thing to me is its like if youre going to raise questions about home schooling you make sure that the parents actually have the ability to do it not just the mental ability but also the time of day and the hours needed to really be good on school i mean theres a responsibility there but a parents want to take on that responsibility to home school their kids because for whatever reason they dont like the Public School Education System they have a. Right to do that but were also talking about talking about a large group of the population that actually does this absolutely not currently in america 4 percent of our School Students are home school and i mean home schooling not what were seeing right now during kobe 1000 so i think that theres a very theres a very important distinction to make here because homeschooling typically is a parent or ringback a tutor who that parent has higher is working with to work with whoever the kids are in their household specifically this is outside of the Public School system in most cases what were seeing right now in kobe 1000 is Distance Learning Distance Learning is actually a Administrators School authorized issued authorized person who is literally posting curriculum online who also has b. T. O. For the students who is passing along coursework grading that coursework the parent is they are essential to help them log on but theyre not the person whos actually providing that teaching mechanism homeschooling its the parent or a parent or is that going to leave hired to do it you know what do you think is like the most ludicrous attack youve heard so far on the homeschooling for because to me i mean there are some criticisms that i could make of like hey you know and im sure that theyve figured out ways to kind of keep this cool but the biggest thing to me is like a good social skills right being a Public School being around all those kids it forces you to deal with a lot of social situations that youre going to need later on in life and valuable learning lessons that to me would be the biggest criticism i could go for homeschooling beyond like ok. If you have bad parents woman youre going to get a bad student but thats the same with understanding that you had a bad teacher going to get a bad students are going to do that kind of across each other oh so i guess i come at it from both sides because i have worked in the Education Sector i was also home school k. To 8 and then went to a regular traditional Public High School so what i can say about the social skills is that right now home schooling is very different than its been you know historically there are different clubs different activities you can be involved in sports leagues that most Home School Students or just what people think of a kid sitting in a basement or something just with their parents for hours on end and i were sitting out i was talking and they were going to light. They know theyre actively involved in a lot of sports they are actively involved in a lot of Community Organizations and theyre doing other things as well so i think that that argument kind of falls on its basically the most interesting one to me though is the one that involves around racism because again this these arguments are liberal liberal elites so the idea is that a lot of the folks who are pulling their kids out traditional Public Schools are doing it to fight and notion of a lot of you know more liberal teachings or understanding so they think that they are him right wing folks who are now you know indoctrinating their young people into those ideologies as well as racism im here to tell you that as somebody who also went to Public School or a lot of races kids who have never been in hold of someone on their lives good point good point to bring up all right as we go to break remember that you can also start watching ox on demand through the brand new portable t. V. Which is available now on all devices coming up led by us to preserve the home our members of the u. S. Congress are now are asking for accountability regarding the pentagons actions in africa but is that a find out to the watching. Cold war 2. 00 targeting china is off the ground gaining momentum some see china must pay for that well obviously theres an extent you see do the trick to the washington world to others see what you intend to see live and then they will. Laugh and cry and in another one of the eyes the microphone swayed dont assume. That it could still move the theater i. Was in this way got to its really hard not to think in the distance at this moment that look like they dont know and i dont know. All right then if. This is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights his way. To the floor you can talk the 50 out of this bill frist woody allen the whole movie about a lot of the Death Penalty on the. Books but i think is this is the found that is a constant thank. We go to work so we stay home. Welcome back since 2007 the United States Africa Command or more commonly known as africa has been made deep in the socalled war on terror operations against al shabaab an al qaeda supposedly Al Qaeda Linked Group Operating in somalia these war on terror operations of included everything from air strikes to drone strikes and even boots on the ground special forces operations and surprisingly you dont love this according to africa statistics in all of that time only 4 yes only 4 somalis civilians have been killed in all of those operations i yes for is apparently 2007 to today the pentagon yes they would have us believe that in 13 years of war on terror operations just 4 civilians have been killed in somalia as a result the daily beast reports that the difference between the number of civilian casualties declared by africa compared to those recorded by organizations Like Amnesty International and air wars is so vast it was prompted members of congress to write directly to the American General in charge with somali born u. S. Representative on all more leading the charge in this Letter Writing Campaign but many feel that simply writing a letter is not nearly enough to reign in africa as dangerous operations in the region one of those as to laos is over. Who is the the african team of the black alliance for peace and as a coordinator for baps us out of Africa Network he joins us now to discuss afrikaans operations in somalia as his issues with representative omars response to the pentagons moves in the region thank you for joining us today. Thank you for having me 1st just what have ben i mean lets get this out the way 1st what do we know have been the cat the casualty rates from u. S. Operations in somalia since 2007 and what is been the effect of abercrombies presence in that country in the region. Yes. That is essentially the colonization of africa by the u. S. In a positive and scramble for africa which is pretty sentiment to what in your opinion. In the 800 so. I guess air war is an Endless International reported where the since 2007 in. There been any between 71 and in the United States. As it were its numbers and then in a Senior National said theres been 21. 00 civilians killed since 2018 so and thats only what theyve been able to check it in many more what weve seen is african nights to civilians as enemy combatants. Those numbers are understated. We find the. Theyre. On a constant is really just too similar and more. Free flow of Natural Resources because of africa its a brutal war its that theyre sitting on. A Little Church as a somalia. And. Many other and shes become this base that is all over the constant so we see it is imperative. There is a massive. Move africa. For the u. S. To be. We. Couldnt accept that there are only before casualties since 2007 is not really how us operates right amidships have absolutely and represent omar along with adam schiff and 5 other House Democrats sent a letter to africa general Steven Townsend that basically demands the african clarify how it investigates civilian casualty allegations and according to the daily beast reminds africa that providing clarity about the reasons for discrepancies and defining who the military considers a combatant is required by recent legislation and while this seems like a good oversight on their part many including yourself are pointing out some underlying problems with this attempt at africa accountability what are those problems. So thats a good question that we still need. As an attorney to legitimize after. Some sort of. Better accountability in. The u. S. Africa command is tantamount to asking tolerances to be present only talking many of the congress. And we dont we dont see that as the right approach and we think that the older gentleman to. Its spirit the u. S. In africa set out. And yet it really just Paints Africa as like it Benevolent Organization once its clearly not. So i think that thats you know is we have to work towards the dismantling. Of the demilitarization the african continent. And that should be the. Couldnt agree more its really interesting how we just kind of accept nowadays that like the u. S. Military is just going to be involved no matter what corner of the world were am you know i wouldnt say its kind of sad to see that thats just ok you know one of the interesting things you point out in this in a recent article that you wrote about on this issue is that alshabaab certainly not you know been a joyous submission to the region United States and its military operations or of actually done more damage than the been the terrorist group how has the u. S. Contributed to the issues that are affecting somalia today through afrikaans actions. To good question. Especially alshabaab is the current you would see stabilization. They. Were formed in 1007. 00 and. Their. Presence on a somali. Throughout the constant years do any. Of. Us. Earth. Essentially turning the u. S. War on. A really mean in the government and made it harder for them to. Power and do a fine against forces like al shabaab in. A lot of the radical east radical and radicalized in their. Place and. Interest people who joined their organization it was driven by our just us in the region. So we really see. U. S. Presence in the region and. I dont think we need their attention or us or our. Were. Using. For their. Natural resources and promoting u. S. Interests in the settled excuse that like well hey if theres a danger and if theres a threat there than you need us to be there if theres no danger and threat will then you know everyone looks wrong as well why are you still here us you know i think thats a really great point that you bring up where there are and i want to say you know thank you very much for the good work that youre doing and getting these messages out there and really looking at this kind of the geopolitics taken place in africa from a place of peace as opposed and solidarity and trying to lift african nations up as opposed to what can we get out of it we dont see enough of that today thank you so much for joining us today to. Any parent of. A stay at home orders are being lifted in cities across america and the child administration places the woes of big business over the importance of saving lives the common 1000 threat is ever present and the populations at the highest risk are the ones often with the most need americas homeless could never shelter in place how can you stay at home when you dont have one but thankfully for many Good Samaritans care a lot more about them than our government a georgia based nonprofit love beyond walls has been setting up dozens of handwashing stations in areas visited most frequently by the homeless parents lester the founder and a former Homeless Youth launched the love think the. Campaign to put people in the deepest poverty during the pandemic lepping on walls has been able to scale up their operation beyond atlanta and are now in cities like birmingham boston columbus new Orleans Baltimore and new york. Now see that that to me does more to benefit the rights individual rights of our community than people showing up on the doors on the Capitol Steps with guns and absolutely building things for people to watch and stay quiet we should been doing that long before the virus ever got here and its got you know a guy that is used to be homeless we arent seeing it from cities and state leaders though somebody had to do it thats really tragic in that i mean thats really what really hurts me a little bit is that wow so no one wants to step up on the state or legislature side to say hey lets take care of almost people instead you got to get. Well good for this man very good for this man all right everybody that is our show for you today remember in this world we are about told that we are loved and up so i tell you all i love you i robot and im in the keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and night everybody.
