greetings and sell you says it's time for us all hawk watchers to admit the uncomfortable truth that most pundits and jackals sitting on capitol hill and squawking in the news media are too afraid to say out loud but have secretly been cheerleading for quite some time now yes we are at war with the sovereign country

of syria when exactly we went to war with syria can be debated but after one takes a moment to review recent events and actions committed by the united states against syria war can be the only honest conclusion anyone who tells you otherwise is either in disbelief of the reality of us actions there or lost in the spin of humanitarian intervention in the fight against isis just a few short months since conducting a multiple tomahawk missile strike against the al shara air base the united states has now officially shot down a syrian bomber which according to fox news marks the first time in history a u.s. jet shot down a syrian plane and the first time in nearly twenty years the u.s. has shot down any war plane an air to air combat. the last time the last time this took place was back in ninety nine over kosovo and what was the reason for this

this attack the shooting down of a plane well according to time magazine the u.s. military said that it shot the syrian plane down in order to protect american backed syrian militia forces from an attack by pro regime troops. remember that the missile strike in april was also labeled be retaliatory action in response to the it leave province chemical weapons attack that was allegedly orchestrated by the syrian government. i think which time we need to ask ourselves at what point is retaliatory nothing more than just another excuse for military aggression let's find out and start watching honks. the. as you put it out of it.

like you know that i got. the please. please. please. welcome the watching the hawks entire world with her and on top of that while it. is. why do they. never ends it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger yeah i mean that's the question i posed to you about what point is this idea that oh everything we're doing is we're telling you everything we're doing well they did something that's why we shot there did something that's why we bomb there are bears and this is also what's very interesting to me about that is that's always coming from people who from politicians who swear that we're christian nation and the network of christians and that they're evangelicals they believe in the bible the bible tells us two wrongs

don't make a right. there isn't time there is a parable after parable about how this is not how you're supposed to live your life this is not what i mean the idea that somehow this well you were going to shoot at these other guys so we shot you first or aggression in a country that we weren't invited into that we don't really have permission to be and as a nation this puts us at risk every single american here and abroad it puts us at risk every time these kinds of things are done have a conversation but now we're like no no conversation we're just going to keep dropping bombs which is great if you don't stock and bomb makers but this one that's going to do anything i mean that's the thing it's amazing to me that the american people sounded off about wanting to go into syria you know many years were very rightly know now about going to bomb was in want it was you know put was originally going towards it was or we don't want to be in syria now we have troops on the ground now we're shooting down airplanes now we're doing this i mean it is

really getting ridiculous and this is a sold this we don't know if the pilot lived or died but this was a you know we if these dead that means the u.s. just killed a syrian citizen and was crazy to me as you see on the news how they like positive get twisted you know we were watching was emerson but many of the girlie the middle of the lower third there was like you know how to go it was a u.s. plane. pro assad or claim first of all a plane can't have an opinion one way or the other and if you really were going to do that correctly it should have said get out pro. tear you. like a fair man disguise but like. the idea that you're sitting there literally making him a madam it objects part of a regime not just these are planes that are run by the syrian government however you feel about that that's what it is and this is an act of aggression towards them

even if they bomb the people that you're giving arms and money to whatever. government foreign governments plane property human being so you just did if we did that or somebody did that to us we would be at war with griping bombs all over the country what's been the us response to the incident the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff general joseph dunford stated during a speech on monday at the national press club said quote i'm confident that we're still communicating between our operation center and the russian federation operations center and i'm also confident that our forces have the capability to take care of this pentagon spokesman captain jeff davis told the washington times that we do not seek conflict with any party in syria other than isis but we do not hesitate to defend ourselves and our partners if threatened and that's the problem that's their perspective while they sit on someone else's backyard their perspective in that as the perspective of the people sitting there you're arming

people who maybe are the idea that their boy scouts running around saving everybody because you gave them a gun is ludicrous it's crazy to me is that when they protest the chairman of the joint chiefs general joseph how the u.s. how this isn't while be illegal that we're operating in a country we're operating militarily the country that didn't buy this right that's illegal. notional yes and on top of it this since the new administration they've loosened these things and put more power into the generals hands they don't have to get checks rounds as that means there's going to be more stuff like this and this is how the general joseph dunford joint chiefs claim that we have all there is a should do to the authorization for use of military force which was passed by congress in response to two thousand and one yes they dusted off the map to justify shooting down the syrian border. currently there is an estimated two point seven

million children in the united states with at least one parent sitting in jail and last week thanks to the maneuvering and political belief system of the new chairman of the federal communications commission the pie those kids trying to talk to their mother or father who's a locked up is about to get a whole lot more expensive in a two to one decision the united states court of appeals for the district of columbia circuit ruled that the f.c.c. exceeded its legal authority when back in two thousand and fifteen the obama administration kept the rates telecom providers could charge prisoners in an effort to rein in price gouging that was taking place at the telecom companies had argued that the f.c.c. had no authority to regulate and state phone rates and thankfully for them the former verizon lawyer and new f.c.c. chairman agree is according to the new york times the agency had been preparing a legal defense of its rules but that effort abruptly stopped when i was appointed by president by the president to chair the f.c.c. in february mr price said agency lawyers would not argue to defend its rules in the

court so the question is should prisoners and their families be caught in the crossfire between the battle over government oversight and free market bureaucrats no they shouldn't and we need to we need to actually have the moment to look at this and say look ok so many times government oversight is a good thing yes when you see businesses running around for control completely legal. ripping off the populace there's no way you can cover this this is ripping off the prisoners and their families because they're prisoners but that's when a good government steps in as little you can do that just because they're prisoners you know why that was because the u.s. government has not learned one very valuable lesson you can punish the person who broke the law but punishing their entire family their entire community is inhumane and that's what this does you the person in there it's going to be the person who really gets hurt ultimately is the family member who had nothing to do with their

crime yeah now walk me through. what the original crime you are is an. appeals court is not throwing these out and saying they overstepped their boundaries what were so what he had said is under the obama rules they had different facilities maintain different rates but no incarcerated person could be paying any more than forty nine cents per minute for a call to someone in the same state where their prison is located so if you're in kansas and you're concept in kansas they can't be more than forty nine cents and the rate caps vary from about like fourteen to forty nine percent forty nine cents per minute but they were set to decrease even further to eleven and twenty two cents per minute on july first twenty eighteen obviously that's all gone now. carrie wilkinson the human rights defense centers campaign director actually told the intercept really interesting said the court at first glance appears to be good to continue to give them free reign to continue to price gouge some of the poorest people in the country if they choose to but they can choose not to and that's

a good point they can choose not to serve do you do you think telecommunication companies in their in their infinite good will towards men will choose to take the less greedy route no no of the why they would they bother me because they won't bother because providing telephone services to inmates to prison is in two thousand and fifteen was a one point two billion dollar industry billion dollars and sharing. five companies essentially it's global tell link to curse technologies century link public communications tell me pay and pay tell communications over like the big five of the prison phone industry now this is the news though in a bubble though it's not just about the private company going on to present them and charging the thing i mean you telling me the people that they're getting in those presents are getting enough places because somebody is getting right because well he's getting a lot of money i mean let me break this down do you have a how it appears to be a kickback system it appears to be in it but you know it's the phone service but

how they're picked is really interesting because essentially they compete with each other to win the contracts with jails or prisons in their name in the jail administrator or the hire a bureaucracy in that jail will choose the contract which was the company that will that will handle that prison officials when deciding on a telecom company often give concerted world weight to which provider offers the highest site commission oh there's a commission see these commision ranges between about twenty to sixty three percent of the profit so the prison itself and its and its and its officials that will rake in twenty to sixty three percent of those numbers you were talking about earlier years was they charge the per minute little cut of that goes to the prison itself grafting prisoners and yes they commissions to our range between about twenty to sixty percent of the profit and that translates to you can believe this two hundred seventy six thousand dollars to five point three million dollars. because every

call that's made in the prison from prison or to family to lawyers to that chain that every time they call that that's you know critics say that's a kickback system if they're if they're picking only gives them the most money in their pocket you heard the gives the prison the most money in his pocket they're going to take that one and then they don't care they don't what they want the premier's my question if this is a publicly funded not a private prison. are we sure that the. kickback money is going to give prisoners decent food or medical care and say oh europe and you would hope that these things are but what this does is it creates a model side of it in the industry that have a high rates of course because the prison officials in the prison itself is going to want to go back bags and a member of the telecommunication companies going to plug them at the end of the day they're going to be like oh we only want to charge first there's eleven cents you know. this is ridiculous these are one of those times and i feel like there are certain things that just are better handled and regulated by some sort of public office that keeps people from really do you need to make up to whatever it be

handled regularly by the you have c.c.t.v. is everybody going to is a no no i'm sorry we go step out of this but then you've got all of them saying no no no that's out of bounds they do that the telecommunications companies they can control that the problem is big telecom companies are slowly much like big cable companies are are sort of slowly become a thing of the past hopefully they're part of the past so eventually there's going to be no one to be handing money in any politician so they can get ahold of seattle and i hope so bring the dinosaurs down all right as we go to break log watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics of coverage of facebook and twitter see our poll shows that are t.v. dot com coming up civil rights activists or rather interesting walks of us to discuss the celebration of july eighteenth here in the united states and the along the crystal acquittal was shocking everybody who stayed to watch.

what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president which. was something i wanted. to do i. for us it's like that before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. this should. make its manufacture consent to step into the public wells. when the room in clusters and protect themselves. with the famous. lifts and be that one person. we can all middle of the

room sick. to the. real needs. let's talk about blackness and the bills of being black. and always well in a big house down at least that's what i've been told but it was simply that we in remains as such because we simply forgot on. the scene without them the rearranged our paint you've told us the sickness of trusting our enemy we became defaced. that's what i call a lack of blackness or understand in the blues a being black. sheep the blues of being black should mandate that we attack knowing how when and what to do to come this simple and as natural as be beck is simply to the feeling blue is black and blue.

on september twenty second eight hundred sixty two president abraham lincoln as. the preliminary emancipation proclamation order which declared all persons held as slaves within any state or designated part of a state the people where of shells then be in rebellion against the united states shall be then tense forward and forever free but it would take another two and a half years before the news and the idea of freedom reach people in some southern states by the time major general gordon granger took command of the department of texas lincoln was dead and the thirteenth amendment abolishing slavery was about to be ratified the last of the holdouts people who just wouldn't let go of their

desire to enslave human beings needed to be told once again that the days of slavery were over on june one thousand eight hundred sixty five mayor major granger dispatched this now famous order number three in which he declared the people of texas are informed that in accordance with the proclamation from the executive of the united states all slaves are free this involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves and the connection here too for existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor but it wasn't easy to transition from a country that built its foundations on slave labor and indentured servitude to put it behind them in fact we still haven't managed to remove slave policies and ideology from all of our government and society like weeds in a garden racism of slavery our constant reminders that we are a young developing nation still finding its legs as a culture which is why the order by mayor grant major granger on june nineteenth eight hundred sixty five is still so significant today known as juneteenth it

became an official holiday in texas in one nine hundred seventy nine and is now an official holiday in forty two states in the district of columbia joining us now to discuss the significance of juneteenth as activist perry thank you so much for joining us. pleasure though i want to do the june to do until we work what is what is the the soul of june was is such an important hold. for the united states as a society and as a country the record is more juneteenth the foundation is based in emancipation basically being free from a former. slave state and that's a state of being we human beings a relationship this country is still having difficulties with a form of colonialism i'm a resident of the district of columbia and even though we we many of us over six hundred thousand of us reside on the mainland we still don't have the same rights

as many of them americans we statehood and so that's a form of lack of the mancipation this significant for america is chiefly three things one reminding us of where we've been and where we need not return and unfortunately we have many who. to go back to the quote unquote good old days when we asked the question good old days feeling. someone to take their country back and the good thing is there's a resistance there. and then another piece of that puzzle of what he means to america is to to remind america of a legacy that was built in violence that was built in oppression and to let america know that america in the world know that this country is not necessarily exceptional american exceptionalism is a all false promise and then the third piece of disclosure chiefly is to get to

a place where we can truly identify this country's history and be honest with one another black white or indifferent. one of the things i always think is interesting is this idea that the emancipation proclamation just made all slaves three and that was the end of that but in reality. it not only took a really long time for it to even reach the. and states are do that stuff. we were just talking about but in certain areas more importantly what it did was authorized black men who had been slaves or were free men to fight in a war that was a major part of it and it was kind of sold to people as this will help us sell to the american people or to the rest of the status and that they've earned this this right be here as if being in slaves they still had to prove themselves is that gone are we still kind of underlying have this idea that as as black americans you have

to prove that you're real american as you finish the question that is the searches that we're still not there yet we we've all been through our school systems ever since eight hundred sixty five in the twelve years of reconstruction following the abolition of slavery we have been taught to do that beginning freedman schools to right now a charter school movement a bill of goods and better counterfeit and that's the story of the emancipation on the reasons why if you indeed this country is right. children of god then we have set you free not mentioning those reasons underlying reasons whether they be economic or whether they be for the purpose of i guess keeping the union together the unions never been together and isn't together and we see the evidence by our ideological battles today. i want to you know i think one

of the great examples of. what little black americans are facing the is the verdict that just over the weekend with former christie i mean this is just another in a long. black man. who will not have justice you know they're killers are walking free they're paid by the state and there was some you know disciplinary action but whatever and a lot of times are commended for. their actions why is it that we are still clinging to a century and a half old ideas of policing since modern police not too many people know this modern police evolved from waterways slave patrols even. you know it's right here in our faces the history that we don't want to pay attention to and why are we still clinging to well this glorified history. of plantation owners hiring these contractors or more modern terms to police between

plantations in the period following slavery was simply another form of slavery which we know is jim crow and this this idea of policing was mit at that time over one hundred fifty years ago during the period after slavery was abolished it was meant to protect the oligarchs of this country those who had plantations steelhead plantations in some who didn't have plantations or have them had been taken from them by the north and some were given their plantations back but the fact is those that own resources protected them with these police forces not too far removed from the day when we looked at the north dakota access pipeline we saw these paramilitary paramilitary forces protecting the resources which would make some people rich in this country and of course it's going to keep this pool because that even the pinkerton like you know it's like

blackwater wasn't a new concept this has been a concept you know it's hired guns that you're sending. that it's this idea that you can do that and i'm going back to this idea of how how disparate even on basic constitutional mean the finder to me pointed out something pretty pretty glaring he he was a legal gun owner. he he did everything he supposed to he was the right kind of gun owner he was absolutely responsible but apparently his second amendment rights disappear because of the color of a scandal that's the way it looks and in the media say you know it one of the the issues we have in this country when we talk about the values that americans hope. equality justice freedom democracy die while. you are so young is the officer who shot and killed him shot him seven times said that

he had a broad no and that's how he figured this was the suspect they were looking for never mind he was in a car at nine at night and he was behind him when he pulled the so how a how a jury of ten whites into blacks could quit this office based fabiani of us except with those who are extremely cynical about the american justice system and we teach that system to others all across the globe to us a idea of the entities and that self-righteousness should never fly when we teaching our system. you know you know we we celebrate and we recognize the battle but it seems harder to really you know for a lot of people to recommit themselves to ensure freedom day after day after day especially when presented with you know case after case some some back up or subject how do we as a society keep fighting this institutionalized racism here would it seems like

we're never going to really do we're going to is this battle ever going to be won and what keeps you know what keeps you go where you are and what gives gives the movement strength what keeps it moving well what keeps a movement for young people that is the chief resource of any change in any society i have fourteen grand young people and so as they grow the oldest is only sixteen so you know. from newborn to sixteen i have the opportunity to instill in them a true american value system now this is a country which was stolen from another group of people and so to teach all of those values of remembering true history not repeating the downfalls with failures and. remembering that we are all fallible truly fallible that way it keeps those humble when we have relationships with us it's very very helpful

that we have many to come before us who have sacrificed their lives to moderns for the sake of justice and equality we have to remember that but the most important element. is u.k. she says this is very i want to thank you so much for coming on educating us to. the struggle thank you so much for thank you so much always a pleasure yes it will be june. barely a day goes by without some new study proclaiming that we have everything we thought was healthy is now dangerous and sometimes based in science but sometimes it ignores everything for a sensationalist headline enter coconut oil the american heart association's new declaration says that coconut oil is bad for you because it has a high level of saturated fat here's the problem though this new study is just a review of data from a number of other studies studies carefully picked to prove the oversimplified case that once again all fat is bad an idea based on the now debunked nine hundred

seventy s. seven nations study which only the data from countries that prove their thesis and more importantly according to dr steven nissen their chairman of cardiovascular medicine at the cleveland clinic only fifteen percent of circulating cholesterol in the blood comes from what you eat and the twenty fifteen scientific report of the dietary guidelines advisory committee stated unequivocally that quote cholesterol is not considered a nutrient of concern for over consumption their research make healthy decisions and always remember that guidelines like this come with a lot more fat than whatever oil you're you're using. remember everyone in this world without told beloved of so i told you all i love you i am tired rover and for dad to have it all and watching those hawks numbers. my.

prime market was reform to some degree and the wall street congress able to penetrate that market as they once did so the wall street cockroaches along with their brothers and sisters in the city of london had to get into the economy another route they found the car loan racket and it turned into a trillion dollar car accident because those cockroaches are never told to stop there's nobody in the justice department as a can of raid to spray on the jamie diamond the cockroach. i don't know what it will be what will cause the little bit.
