2:00 am
sideway right there on fire today already so i want to ask you this do you believe that north korea just. trump states by opening up quite literally a channel a phone line to talk to south korea the debate is going to give the big undercut like oh well never go to the table never they don't they all want war they want to blow everybody up on the face of the earth it almost looks like he goes let's talk about the olympics maybe some go on yes of course because once again this is another another indication another situation in which you have the united states being undercut by another country going in and doing diplomacy you know it's a wild idea. but this is this is what's kind of hard as is we've seen this before it had to do with preconditions when obama was being elected it was this idea of in both elections it was this idea of you can't talk to them without preconditions and that preconditions we have to set and that's kind of what makes you really brings back the old preconditions of the obama era of complaint so you have. said we won't
2:01 am
take any of the talks seriously if they don't do something to ban all nuclear weapons and north korea we don't think we need a band-aid and we don't think we need to smile and take a picture. i know i'm like who was i thought i'd honestly you know how i felt about a lot of the passive aggressive spokesman person things that were coming out of the obama administration that i didn't think out. and i feel like this is even worse this is more this is more passive aggressive than anything it's this we want even we want even recognize that that you had a peace talks with north korea that could stop and fighting and all of these things but it's not like there's really nothing something right so now they're saying it has to be real conditions now they're bringing up something that has always been argued that well what let us know move to the other side of the news in this week and talk. toward israel and palestine. well the donald took to twitter once again.
2:02 am
quote we pay the palestinians one hundred of millions of dollars a year and get no appreciation or respect they don't even want to negotiate a long overdue peace treaty with israel. so the idea is that we give you millions and hundreds of millions of dollars one hundred of million rhasis millions of dollars you give us respect well here's the thing let's clear this all up and let me ask you to how much money has the united states given to both parties in that in those terrible terrible tragic fight taking place right so according to usa which is where most of the money goes through especially for policy in the united states gives about three point one billion in aid to israel is a lot of money and the december two thousand and sixteen congressional report stated that since the palestinian authority is creation following the oslo process that was in one thousand nine hundred eighty three the united states has invested over that time about four hundred million dollars a year to the palestinians but according to her it's most of this money isn't just
2:03 am
going directly to the palestinian authority in fact really none of it has gone to it rather us aid supported projects in the west bank and gaza which. part of me feels better about that because it's the ideas that were controlling it's going as a u.s. aid programs but then i usaid has issues i wonder how much is an interesting little history with the u.s. a lot of that a lot of things go sour and can't prove that i'm just saying you know what it's being used to do certain kinds of information gathering you. know jump over to a row or so these protests taking place in other nowhere near as big as like what we saw back at the get two thousand and nine which i like to you know but but there are protests there of course mainstream media was like going crazy everyone's talking about it it was going nuts i just want to get to this quick quote before we move on to the next piece american running off there trita parsi writes that when compared to the massive election protests in two thousand the corporate there's appear much more sporadic with no clear leadership and shifting objectives for
2:04 am
c.n.n. he writes according to witnesses i spoke to the protests were initiated by in mashad by religious hardliners who sought to take advantage of the population's legitimate economic grievances to score points against the rouhani government which they consider too moderate so before we start getting behind protests in iran everybody all those people we saw we need to figure out who actually are these protesters and how much the cia is kind of in the the scene there were guys these important questions. some say golf is for the birds and it was constant one golf course developers actually using golf to save birds according to the american bird conservancy in the united states almost three hundred of the seven hundred fifty native bird species are declining and population that's nearly thirty seven percent of the total population being sensitive to environmental and habitat changes birds are an important tool for ecologists protecting eco's predicting ecosystem development agriculture wildlife water and even tourism and the kirkland
2:05 am
warbler has managed an impressive comeback on its onsen due to conservation efforts over the last ten years the bird normally breeds in northern michigan and then migrates to the bahamas turks and caicos between up. over and between august and october but due to predators like the brown cowbird it is going to take more effort in order to invigorate the species of sconce and state department of natural resources conservation biologist dave and lopez put it you never want all your eggs in one basket no pun intended which is where golf course developer michael kaiser comes in he's spotted the worst player on the land next to his seven hundred acre sand valley golf restored leaving him to purchase another seventy two hundred acres of land next to it for an open to the public recreational land for activities like hunting hiking and skiing on that swath of land he's working to restore the habitat for not only the warbler but to other endangered species the carb or blue bottle fly and the slender classless are and it's working because after simply clearing
2:06 am
red pine trees from the land native plants whose seeds have been dormant in the sand for decades bloom and the plants that support butterflies bees and even birds are starting to come back now kaiser a chicago based greeting card scion is part of the reason wisconsin was named the best hope destination destination in the world in two thousand and seventeen due to the diversity of its landscape and as we move into twenty eighteen let's find more ways to use our love of the links to conserve and serve the ecosystems are part of that is a wild story plus it's like i mean i think go of course of always how about like. element like oh they look pretty for the people walking on them but they like decimate the inverter around them with all the chemicals they use. in the press the sides of all of that so this is a really wild story but there was no then you tell we both are today the really just blew my mind that you have to tell people right now which is about bird watching as an industry. someone who clearly in the last year or two i've always
2:07 am
been around birds because i grew up in wisconsin so bird watching is sort of bird conservation is a big thing but the actual i someone who does give money to sort of bird watching things important part of the ecosystem bertie's is birdies but they're also a big part of. financially looking at the bird watching industry of the bird watching in the united states canada and mexico generates wait for it twenty five billion dollars a year in hard cash and employs over sixty thousand people credit while it's. right i would have thought the little dinosaurs there were and we got to we also got to jump over to the what we've also been seeing with the and part of the thing that's killing birds and killing a lot of animals is you know human beings love of creating habitat loss. love to get rid of having to what we do. believe is the equivalent of one hundred thirty yellowstone national parks get a map look it up go to a computer look it up that's more than two hundred ninety million acres of grasslands have been converted to agriculture in north america which then impacts
2:08 am
the species we're talking about three farming yes everything apart converted to all this most recent in the way very good not bad for the land i've heard more than eighty five percent of the globally threatened birds in latin america have been impacted by large scale logging in your cultural operations was that the. you know this takes the stand take stands on what's we've got what are called young jack pines and they're punctuated by open areas the blue in the summer glasses top of those talk about the scots and thrive in a sunnier landscape pine barrons prairie savannah's without the fig canopies all of this is possible by simply kind of just allowing the land to do what it naturally does rather than trying to excavate it and create it and shipped in the what we wanted to be right you know exactly and this is the thing is that what happened in wisconsin is that a lot of non-native pines were grown there after timber in that the turn of the century a lot of houses built the united states were built with wood from wisconsin and once that was all done they started growing but the pines that they did were red pines are non-native they're used for wood pulp for what paper manufacturing and
2:09 am
what floors because they were native they mess up with everything so now what he's doing is literally just allowing these jack science and all that natural habitat to come back for butterflies and all of this and be is as we've talked about and so the. a lot about twenty thirty not about magazine actually remarked on how the silver lining of the great recession of making golf courses not making as much money in closing as that they're now being bought up by conservationists and so now maybe these new golf courses built by people like cars or who are avoiding pesticides and all the bad stuff and using the natural land itself instead of messing with that that could make you know golf or guns are really said we like that we like that's a very different than our presidents idea of what golf clubs etc you know let's remember that made sure it majors but around a lot longer than us they probably perfected how best to create places for animals to thrive and then we can have it has been a letter's way about majors way better out of that as we can learn from her art as
2:10 am
we go to break our watches don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered of facebook and twitter see our full shows that are t.v. dot com coming up they'll make room for the wisconsin congressional campaign from our deep collect of the hawks that's to discuss a new political party for the new year stay tuned for watching the hawks. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. a simple fact in l.a. he's there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. this man found his own response of the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution tiny house on
2:11 am
a city parking space is not a solution your path to someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. thank you saying thank you thank god. the outside children we're standing by. being legally was ok i got exactly the ok ok. thanks. thanks.
2:12 am
but every new year comes a new set of resolutions for most people they can range from losing weight and drinking glass to being more active and finally cleaning out that front hall closet dangerous the front hall closet dangerous but for filmmakers. the beginning of the new year marks the beginning of his quest to bring a real third party challenge to the two party dictatorship that dominates u.s. politics after the killing of his father and five others in the two thousand and twelve sikh temple shooting in wisconsin collate his political activism found cause and purpose in fighting for gun control and the reduction of hate crimes and collate the is no stranger to the two party system after running for paul ryan state and the us how perhaps representatives as a democrat wisconsin's first district back in twenty fourteen but now he shed his tea party past and is fighting for a third party future joins us now from chicago to discuss his latest endeavor welcome. hey tabitha how are you always always
2:13 am
a pleasure to talk with you one of the things i want to you know we're we're starting the brand new political yours now upon us and you believe that this is the time is truly now to begin to third party movement in the u.s. you know why do you believe that why are you you saying twenty eighteen is the year to do it. i think after watching bernie go through that last election we've all realized the importance of the independent and the independent has gone by the wayside over the last forty years at one point we had twenty to thirty in the house in the senate and now we have one bernie and then usually polling suggests forty two percent of all americans consider themselves independent and ideally if they actually had a party that had a strong platform which we do they might continue their independence but usually the fall by the wayside in pick a party and that's kind of creeping like a bipolar attitude and almost like. an uncivil rest you know
2:14 am
civil unrest you have to pick a side or you have to pick you have to give up certain things that you have to pick a side that isn't too far from you and how do you that's really the challenge so how how will you go about building that new third party movement and i mean to tell me a little bit about independent party united. so as you know probably the republican party was founded in wisconsin and rooted in wisconsin. very near where i was born and i was thinking you know you literally thirty minutes from where i was is where the republican party started. and something like this is like a twenty year project a ten year project and the best way to to do it is do it almost like teddy roosevelt tried to do the progressive party remember when he was shot in the walky and then his speech ended up like ricocheting the bullet and he still gave a two hour speech yeah. we're at that point where we can see that both sides don't
2:15 am
have the answers they're going to bark at each other for another two decades they've been barking at each other for these past two decades so the best way to do it is grassroots on the ground suggesting in nominating new congressional candidates or new state representatives or new city you know representatives and we're just launching now just to start rolling into that. that's interesting you say just launched now so do tell us a little bit about that web site independent party united dot com what what what can people find out. oh that's a great question tyrrel like so what we tried to do was summarize all of the salient points that you need to know to catch up on all of politics in america today we did that because if you have a two hour experience on that website you'll know what's important and what's not important and you'll get the evidence the firm evidence not from the fake news but from people like you guys who really study it and really get into the nitty gritty
2:16 am
of it so that if you go to that website you'll have everything you need to know about where you stand interesting where we're where we're have other third party movements you know failed and where you believe you know you will succeed you know i mean we heard this talk a lot over the last push in the last i would say ten fifteen years you know might be even ninety eight when my father ran you know everyone parties here it's here and then it kind of fell to the wayside you know what what what sets this apart from the other attempts to kind of organize in these independent disenfranchised voters. i think your father by the way jesse did an amazing job at showing how two hundred thousand dollars could oust both parties he was a true independent and. i think we're going to it's going to succeed is in coalition building something that the green party doesn't do something that the other third party candidates don't do we suggest coalition building so something
2:17 am
that we're doing with the independent party is it's not a religious conversion if you become an independent rather you are a watchdog on both sides you can caucus with the democrats you can caucus with the republicans you still an independent and suggest you know based on their rules you can show up at their events and you can have suggestions and discussions with them so coalition building is primary something that we've lost since the one nine hundred ninety s. since the internet has dawned everybody's kind of built their own silos and they've built. that does seem to be the hardest part because the truth is third party third parties or you know we call them third parties i'm eating outside of that two party monopoly is is considered you know it's going to ruin things it's going to do this it's going to mess up but now we have a congress and we see in the last twenty thirty years the whole time i've grown up is seeing this go from one side who has power who has this how can you do it they
2:18 am
can't even coalition build within them in their own parties now with the power of independence is that you have they have to come they have to win with the last election started with they have got to have to learn to cope coalesce with with people from other part is like we saw with the bernie thing so how will you one of those things how will you build those but also also. the suppression that third party suppression by republicans and by democrats in the corporate media who consider anything about third party is you know a threat to democracy. i mean it's a tough one you guys know coming down the brass tacks those two parties don't represent the normal person one party is the party of big business the other party is an intellectual elite that wants to speak for the people write. this forty two percent that we talk about if they stop giving their power to other people and say you know what we're going to select the best amongst us to run then i think we can
2:19 am
you know we can offer a challenge we can create that that vibrant conversation however it's difficult because the amount of mudslinging that has happened in the past two decades it's unseen i mean down the fake news downed of you know fake. like people actually alleging assaults or you know negative things that are detrimental defamation so as a third party our job would be to throw that mudslinging aside to get right into the. the real political strategy and philosophy of our country and i think if people stay there will be able to raise this party pretty quickly now what you mentioned earlier the greens and libertarians are there are probably the two biggest third parties out there today what what about those existing third parties you know where where do you see them fitting in to to your efforts for this
2:20 am
independent party like you said coalition building you're is that something where you would reach out to those too and say look you guys have ballot access especially to federal level you've made some moves here and there you know how do they fit into this overall movement. and you hit the nail on the head tyrol they've already started moving in these steps it's a matter of galvanizing them throwing away some of the differences and going at the similarities and a lot of similarities are we want corruption and both parties have proven themselves so corrupt that i mean most other countries are looking at us not as their philosophical leader on democracy anymore they're looking at us as a corporate oligarchical regime that needs to be handled and then i think with those third parties especially the green party is a good example we can show that there is a bit of organizing that happens on the democratic and the republican side and though they have the philosophy right they're not playing the political game
2:21 am
correctly and that's ideally maybe something we do in the midwest have a very well out of chicago out of wisconsin. and sometimes minnesota sometimes want to show. you know that's. not why didn't the very midwestern thing is that we kind of say it doesn't really matter which is why i think it surprised people in wisconsin since it's been this whole wisconsin where i don't really think of the vote effort but at the end of the day it's you you didn't you expected them to just vote for a democrat you didn't realize that they vote on. they vote on things that are very important that they you know if they feel it can actually affect their family they'll vote not about party and i think more people are like vote for the party and the person who. can do you think that's the thing that it's more about your values it's about what are you going to do for your average working class american that has to be first and foremost do you think i think so and i think both you guys
2:22 am
know primaries are the election process if you do not pass the primary you're not getting elected and this allows us to bypass the primaries on both sides because those primaries are rigged when i ran against paul ryan oh my god i got backlash from both sides i had made up stories from one side and i had e-mails going out from the other side telling people all he's from california he lives in california he doesn't actually come back to wisconsin though i used to come back all the time and if we can bypass those primaries we can actually get people who are like jesse like your father tyrrell somebody who succeeded in another field sees the corruptions from sees the corruption from outside and enters with a strong. philosophy and that's what we need right now we don't need people who are shelled to party we need people who are like stand up americans i couldn't think of
2:23 am
your more we wish you good luck in your efforts here and definitely people supposed to check in with you as the as the as the time draws near for the upcoming elections this year thank you very much former congressional candidate amardeep kaleka thank you. thank you that's. civil rights activists erica garner passed away recently at the age of twenty seven erica fought tirelessly after the death of her father eric garner at the hands of unjust and racist police violence she chose despite the fact that at work or down physically to fight to never back down she didn't choose the struggle it chose her and erika garner rose to the occasion with an already broken heart she gave love and those silly unlike many african-american families they suffered but in that suffering she taught us all inspired us and in that we are rising to the occasion as she did hold up by her strength let's take a moment to remember her words her spirit and her inspiration thank you erika and much love to the entire garner family. never in the million is without being. that
