Transcripts For RT Watching The Hawks 20240713

Michigan has closed down its capital and canceled its legislative session rather than face the possibility of an armed protest and Death Threats against democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer yes the armed protesters who made headlines back in early may for their want to be red dawn wolverines style approach to 21st century white right wing activism have right in the state of michigans elected officials so 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 protest. Are unarmed and are actually calling for safety over selfishness a key 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 the up that we have actually called the Defense Industry that lobbied the u. S. Congress to declare these workers essential employees because can apparently nothing nothing is more essential to the safety of every u. S. Citizen in a time of pandemic than being able to make an supply 2000000000. 00 worth of weapons sales to india morocco in the philippines. Since theyre 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 cd. Player so you. See this you always see. Great. Slaves systemic deceptions. Which were. Killed. Welcome what all the watching the entire world from the time of the major how we dont today its a wild day when you see protests once again it seems like every week theres new protests we talk about them on this 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 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. They did their kind of take over there look i can be totally understanding of youre proud of your plight and your protests but you dont need the gun no one no one stopping until police are coming and throwing you down on the ground and arresting you and beating you. Mercilessly cant talk to. Then then 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 listing them 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 lives going to be peaceful when you use terms like. I also want to talk about theres the firms workers who were also seeing kind of push back against the prince industry saying hey look you called us essential boys 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 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. And so its been 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 of this big group their plan st louis already had confirmed 15 cases a coronavirus 15 a General Electric plant in lynn massachusetts which is a prime contractor for the supply 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. Helicopter still the philippines this 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 arms why not a crazy idea crazy admitted 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 and i magine you agree me i dont think that guns or anything like that you dont need to bring those to protest because to me it it changes how the outside world perceives your protest this would absolutely make sense if it was a protest having anything to do with gun rights just true since it is absolutely not ive nothing with a me thing is that you know these people are justified this is literally a protest so that they can invoke feet and and fear is what theyre invoking when you get a legislature shut down there by 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 you protest about 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 so. What of a lightning rod topic for some reason parents choosing to remove 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 homeSchool Students are light years ahead of their Traditional School peers they excel in reading writing math science in 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 that 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 has that piece published just last week another author tried to make a connection between Home School Students and racism because you know learning at home is a recipe for a 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 asking ourselves because to me i dont my person in 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 home schooling 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 their kids at home and they follow i can understand like an idea of like hey do we want to maybe regulate this a little bit make sure we get taught correctly i can understand why attack entire group of people absolutely and i think that there are 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 homeschooling 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 there 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 in a place to their child excelling 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 at Home School Parent 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 every right to do that but were also talking not talking about a large group of the population that actually does this absolutely not. Our only 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 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 and probably 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 peer it is they are essentially to help them log on but theyre not the person whos actually providing that teaching mechanism home schooling its the parent or carer or is that going to have 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 how you have 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 i mean beyond like ok. If you have bad parents woman youre going to get a bad student but thats the same with the same thing if you had a bad teacher going to get a bad students are going to you know that kind of across each other oh so i get i come at it from both sides because ive 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 or whatever and the unit i was going they were going to the light of day you 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 was 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 empty been jellicoe 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 letter raises kids who have never been and focus on what i mean our 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 one or more members of the u. S. Congress are now are asking for accountability regarding the pentagons actions in africa but is that enough find out state to the watching the. You are no offense but you no longer a young woman in fact you are one of the last living survivors of the not to last im aware of it. For a day. All your life. And you can never forget. Was it really like to be in hell because you would never believe that what you meant to ask obvious course for 13 years and now for the birth of it it all seems so logical from time to time to make it right when i get out im on the farm saw you know im going to take my son to their next do so he couldnt place and hope for the bless her. We. Yeah like. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on ill show you whats the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this area russia. What is it suddenly about the South China Sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. Take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have Nuclear Weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so thats why were going to drill down on the story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly its time to do news again. Welcome back since 2007 the United States Africa Command or more commonly known as africa has been 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 operate. Have included everything from airstrikes to drone strikes and even boots on the ground special forces operations and surprisingly all of this according to afrikaans statistics in all of that time only 4 yes only 4 somalis civilians have been killed in all of those operations i guess 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 of the daily beast reports that the difference between the number of civilian casualties declared by africa compared to those recordable organizations Like Amnesty International and the air wars is so vast that it has prompted members of congress to write directly to the American General in charge with somali born u. S. Representative ilan all more leading the charge in this Letter Writing Campaign but many feel that simply writing a letter is not nearly enough to rein in the afrikaans dangerous operations in the region one of those. Who is the on the african team of the black alliance for peace and is a coordinator for baps us out of Africa Network he joins us now to discuss afrikaans operations in somalia and 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 cut the casualty rates from u. S. Operations in somalia since 2007 and what has been the effect of afrikaans presence in that country in the region. Africa is essentially the colonization of africa by us in a part of the us and scramble for africa which is pretty similar to what the european power is very close. In 800 so. I guess their war is in areas you national reported where the since 2007. There been any between 71 and in the United States was there were its numbers and then in a Sea International said. 21. 00 civilians killed since 2018 so and thats only what theyve been able to track that there could have been many more what weve seen is african likes to painting civilians as enemy combatants but that not those numbers are way understated. We would find the. There are. Efforts on the continent is really just to do similar and more. Free flow of National Resources because of africa its a brutal war its devastating effects on. The Little Church is a country like somalia. And. Many are there and shes an african thats based there is all over the constants that we see is imperative. There is a massive. Move africa. For the u. S. You can be. We. Couldnt accept that there would only be for casualties since 2007 is not really how the u. S. Operates right amidships have absolutely and representative omar along with adam schiff and 5 other House Democrats sent a letter to africa general Stephen Townsend that basically demands the afrikan 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 we still need. As an attorney to legitimize africa. And. Some sort of order or. Better accountability in. The u. S. Africa command is tantamount to asking how an answer is to be present only talking many of the congress. And we dont we dont see that as the right approach and all we think that the older gentleman to. It spirit the u. S. And africa. And i think it really just Paints Africa Benevolent Organization which is really not. So i think that. Theres mansplaining and this is. The demilitarization the african continent. And. Couldnt agree more its really interesting how were just kind of accepting but like the u. S. Military is just going to be involved no matter what corner of the world or am i mean its kind of sad to see that bad 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 while certainly not been a joyous addition to the region the United States and its military operations there is actually done more damage than the terrorist group how has the u. S. Contributed to the issues that are affecting somalia today through afrikaans actions. To be a question. Essentially. Of the state with a nation. They. Were formed in 2000 and. 10 to be in and. Our presence on a somalia and throughout the continent. Elevated. Us. Essentially during the u. S. Occupation is a. Really weak in the government and made it part of. Power and to fight against forces like alshabaab and. A lot of the radical east radical radicalization in. Place and. Interest key political in that organization was driven by our just us in the region. So we really see. As being a. U. S. Presence in the region and i dont think its really needed there any tension or us force that is after. We remove our alshabaab and we still. Are working on. Using. Natural resources and promoting u. S. Interests in the region settled excuse that like well have theres a danger and if theres a threat there then 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 and i 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 taking 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 me. And he barely. A stay at home orders are being lifted in cities across america and the Trump 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 former Homeless Youth launched local sinks in campaign to support people in the deepest poverty during the pandemic loping 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 bad to me does more to buy the rights individual rights of a community than people showing up on the doors on the Capitol Steps with guns and there are absolutely building sinks for people to watch and speculate it 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 good in that i mean thats really what really hurts me a little bit is that wow sonoran wants to step up on the state or legislature side to say hey lets take care of most people is that you got to get. Well good for this man very good for this man our body that is our show for you today remember in this world we are about told that we are loved and so i tell you all i love you i robot and im in the chicago keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and night everybody.
