tv Watching the Hawks RT January 25, 2018 12:30pm-1:00pm EST
12:30 pm
that is a compassion problem. not an immigration problem i want to start watching the hawks . want to. get the. real deal with. the bottom. like you and i i got. this. week so. well the odds are so i am i wrong and i'm topical so tyrrel here we are twenty eighteen twenty or thirty and we're still arguing over immigration in the united states i mean most of our ancestors anybody whose ancestors came here you know at the at the dawn as a kind of american and was their native american or were forced to come here and
12:31 pm
sit ups and write for free yeah if you would like me in your immigration your family came here in the last hundred so they were probably undocumented i don't think the mayflower peeps were like get married english passport stamped and how their view says ready to be and plymouth rock i mean this is just this is we have a statue give us your tired report this was the whole point of this country and then twenty eighteen we are seriously arguing but just giving water to people who are trying to get the american dream. is considered a crime and that's a crime for them and that's the thing that's ridiculous about this i mean you you know what this group report found by these two tucson based groups the no more deaths in the a large coalition on the richest models what they found was that from twenty twelve to twenty fifteen at least thirty five hundred gallon jugs of water were destroyed in approximately eight hundred square mile area is. of course board there was oh no
12:32 pm
that's a lot of water to be destroyed you know and there's like the group will just kind of leave jugs of water basically along right areas where they know like ok a lot of border crossings happen here it's a to mulch it was horrible awful journey it's not fun trying to illegally get into a country you know try to get through the border and do all that and a lot of people die i mean i think they've they've said there's some like seven thousand people have died in that journey over the course of many years that they've found bodies in the desert of battles and you hear stories about people just literally losing their lives and these are these are just adults i think that's the part where washington insider and politicians and the people in the know on the right side of the aisle have this idea that they're like whoa this is what this is the really grecian brawl they make it about a con they make it about economics they make it about all these other things that honestly it's about human life i don't care if i get it i get it if everybody is
12:33 pm
freaking out about it five gotta get the problem under control we've got to figure out what's going on here and find a system that works a lot better but we need a system that is humanitarian adages core that is what the priority should be because if the roles were reversed and you had to run from the united states into mexico i don't think you want people you'd find you don't i think you'd want to be sitting there wondering why someone would jump out water that's there to just say it just is there to save you and then you know and that's my thing it's like look i understand like yeah if you catch someone in there undocumented they're going to send them back because that's the rules of the system today ok fine but there's no reason that person should die or be allowed not die or be allowed to be dipped you know deprived of potential water or that these people who are there for humanitarian reasons just trying to help just trying to say look we're not trying to say this is right or wrong we're just trying to help these people suffering as they cross this desert to hopefully make their life a little better and i've slowly ridiculous and it was interesting is the. that
12:34 pm
while these groups in this report says that you know that they can't exclusively claim that it's the u.s. border patrol. but what they put in their report was that given the scope and destruct of the destruction they concluded that the only after it was sufficiently large and consistent presence across a sufficiently wide area of the desert during the period when hunting is about authorized and prohibited are agents of the u.s. mourner patrol now there was a response to vest from border patrol to these people who are out there because activists what was that response well i was worried yeah i mean the response from the border patrol is that you know basically when this when this report came out they went out and you know is that their official response to the report but their actions speak louder than words this report comes out they immediately arrest one of the members of no deaths in a more when he was you know this kind of cabin you know providing some help for these people who were crossing the border and williams you walker to some based
12:35 pm
attorney who represented no more you know as volunteers for more than a decade he's represented these people he told the intercept quote the border patrol in the u.s. attorney knows about the activities has surveilled the activities has permitted the activities has recognized that we're out there helping to save lives and all of a sudden it's all changed and that raises a lot of questions because let's remember one thing if the u.s. border patrol is out there doing this with which a lot of circumstantial evidence says it is that they're crushing these water bottles and now they're arresting these activists i'm sorry that's our that's my tax dollars and living us that's your tax dollars then suddenly paying to allowed undocumented people to die in the desert because they couldn't get a jug of water that's ridiculous to me i'm sorry. and now for an illegal immigrant you really should be concerned about about i'm taking your job your house your city and even possibly an entire state it's an asteroid and asteroid roughly the size of burj khalifa the over eight hundred meter tall skyscraper in dubai which is
12:36 pm
currently speeding. towards earth larger than the world's tallest building and moving at a rather brisk speed of seventy six thousand miles per hour the asteroid is set to thankfully fly past earth on february fourth according to nasa artie's david miller has the details a skyscraper size asteroid will be passing the earth and will be ten times the distance from earth to the moon which is about two point six million miles or four point two million kilometers according to nasa the asteroid is about a half a mile to a four mile in diameter for comparison the world's tallest building is about a half a mile tall all the new world trade center building in new york is nearly a quarter of a mile tall all right now for the good news nasa says there's no chance actually two thousand and two a day one two nine will collide with earth the center for near earth object studies at nessus jet propulsion laboratory said in a statement our calculations indicate that actually two thousand and two a.j.
12:37 pm
one to nine has no chance zero of colliding with earth on february fourth or any time over the next one hundred years also according to nasa rockets of this size flying close to earth somewhat regularly and fact recently to space rockets came significantly closer to our planet on september first of two thousand and seventeen the short florence passed within about four point four million miles of earth or about eighteen times the distance from earth to the moon in other bus size asteroid zoom within fifty four thousand miles of earth on october second of two thousand and seventeen and as per protocol nasa did the two thousand and two a.j. one to nine as a potentially hazardous actually however it's important to note that this decks the nation is given to any asteroid or than four hundred sixty feet in diameter that gets closer to the earth by four point six five million miles but again have no fear as a space rock is no threat to our existence yet the. it is reporting from washington
12:38 pm
d.c. david miller r.t.m. it. just in time for the super bowl i know doesn't time for the simple but i mean anyone growing up in the ninety's and you know love in the ninety's filmmaking you know we've all seen armageddon at some point you know and a deep in every. you know these things are you know i put it like this i would rather see the money that we're probably going to end up wasting here in the u.s. i would rather see the money that we probably end up wasting building a wall separating mexico and the united states spent on tracking nearer you know potential asteroid collisions or i would rather see the money spent there. because because to me that is a bigger potential danger down the line of least knowing if and when something like that could happen because of the size of these things and that these things that could destroy the entire planet that to me is way more scarier than some guy just trying to look for a better life crossing the border i'm sorry you don't get it i just don't get it you don't get it i don't waste your money on but it is the super bowl asteroid yes
12:39 pm
it is the super bowl asteroid pretty big it's an amazing so they're saying that this asteroid has no chance of colliding with earth on february fourth and also any time in the next one hundred years so this specific asteroid we're got it's not going to bother us and all of that but i think there's others so there's a very maybe it's. coming to get us. and well i mean i didn't i use the thing you got to be watch over because it was in one thousand nine hundred seven university of colorado geosciences brian to his colleagues they predicted this word comes of this is where they've suddenly said we need to pay attention to these rocks right erling through the galaxy is that a space rock just half a mile wide would produce an explosion that's equal to the release of one hundred million tons of t.n.t. on the planet as a lot. though. that's enough to cause like you know widespread damage and earthquakes and pretty much things that we've seen before you know that we live with you know her way but all and i think in time. same time but still things that
12:40 pm
we've kind of we can deal with this we can make it through this however once the collision threshold exceeds the one hundred thousand tons of t.n.t. million tons of t.n.t. then you're looking at a catastrophic you know basically the worst thing that ever happened in human history at that point i think the dinosaurs would beg to differ human history human history we have certainly had that we both existed together we did but right. now a meteor is most crazy a meteor just a mile long would be of this size that could create that kind of catastrophe and that's i mean it's like that to me put the money in nasa put the money in things that look that way there because a it's fascinating b. let's figure out a way to keep the mile long asteroid that could potentially collide with us from happening yes something a little better than bruce willis and steve buscemi i think. maybe if i were to get a pretty good job they did as it goes right god what developer get
12:41 pm
a lot of the what do you think of the topics of government facebook and twitter so you are full so that r t dot com coming up sunstone digs into the real forces behind the sudden push to privatized school systems across the united states which offer a ph d. mark stay to watch the whole. kentucky. we won't be the place you want to be three families leave. a co money see chiwetel in the snow coal mine slashed. jobs or go on the phone lines instead. and it was
12:42 pm
a laugh to see. these people are survivors of disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's how it's happened. closer to new when you don't. see the teachers so i think. they could put it. to me most through only ten space. may be. left alone kelly said. claiming to know terminated especially that the. alex you speak french. while the same. little send the floats a new. son is busy cutting up to.
12:43 pm
pay everybody i'm stephen ball task hollywood guy you'll suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v.'s to suggest this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different. there are no windows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people. out of mass will be another tax reform bill next year just simplify and bring in a flat tax before is all over and done let someone bring. fifty percent tax rate
12:44 pm
across the board let's be the best possible solution to the. you know question in the us. it is a frequent refrain from the political right that america's school system is in shambles and a collective black eye for otherwise a proud nation we also frequently hear claims that our schools are so far down the road to hell that the only solution is privatizing education completely or at the very least using taxpayer dollars to give out vouchers and profit but competing that work of private parochial and charter schools it all almost sounds too simple doesn't it perhaps we would be well served by a closer look at the trail of bread crumbs and dollar bills behind this message and
12:45 pm
that task is exactly what doug martin and indiana based investigate reporter took on in his book hoosier school heist which follows the ins and outs of political campaign and nonprofit finance all across indiana had to really show who and why is pushing the strong political current to disassemble and privatized our nation's schools johnstone earlier sat down with doug to find out more. doug martin thank you so much for joining me today i want to talk about your work as far as focusing on charter schools and the privatization of public schooling one of the major arguments it seems in favor of privatizing and liberalizing education basically is this argument that we need more freedom of choice to have charter schools and voucher programs and things like this would you say that you're opposed to such initiatives well yes in many ways the word choice is interesting in in some ways is or will only in because the same people who are.
12:46 pm
for school. choice are also against choice in other ways the religious right for instance does not want you to have to be able to choose who you marry but. if you want to go to a school vow to school then you know they're fine as far as you're concerned what is the the danger of this initiative to privatized public education. well here in indiana a lot of money is getting drained out of the public school system so you have tax referendums that are trying to go through you have transportation problems you have staff being laid off so it's meant to dismantle public education as we know it and there is a lot of billionaire's behind this which i think a lot of people don't understand that that you have the balls family you have the walton family you have
12:47 pm
a market bloomberg you have john arnold of only from enron there is just a host the people who are throwing money into this cause now the majority of those people will never make a dime of this but they are using their wealth to dismantle the system as it now stands to set a free market so-called free market system as we've seen in indiana though charter schools who have done horrible have and have even closed down are getting in there there are many wiped out i mean the they have loans from the state and the state has raced those loans so they do not have to pay those back so it's not truly a free market in many ways it's crony capitalism and how does that system really work how does it actually work such that you can make money on education or for you know for profit education. well in terms of charter schools a lot of people who are politically connected have funded mostly the republican
12:48 pm
party and have a lot of these bills pass and some of them run charter schools and they're not your mom and part charter schools these are charter schools that they run across the country so what they tend to do often is go into a local community and five politically connected people who they will put on a nonprofit who are and that nonprofit pretty much call the shots for the for profit organization behind it there is one group called imagine schools which is shut down in st louis who has connections to mitch daniels they have a scheme a real estate scheme where they basically jack up the rent and the nonprofit they have handpicked passes all of it through and some of the schools don't even have books it's that bad so the money is funded upward the
12:49 pm
people running the schools are making i don't know about magic to some of these people are making half a million dollars a year or more there's some charter franchise across america i mean they're raking in these c.e.o.'s are raking in millions of dollars public money to run these jurors so people don't understand that dynamic as well. precisely and you mentioned indiana that's the focus of your book on the hoosier school heist but as i understand it the constitution is a constitution of indiana doesn't really allow for the state to actually. fund nonpublic schooling so how are the people of indiana responding to this this recent venture into about jurors and charter programs. well there are arguments is that the money follows the child ok so it is for the school vouchers they have these s g o's or call that are set up that take care of actually getting the money to go to
12:50 pm
the school. so. that's how that works now there's a lot of there's a lot of things going on too with. no you know what was the question you know i'm sorry i have kind of got lost on trying to thought here yet as far as you know again if india has not really allowed to constitutionally i you know fund these joint programs about jupiter that's how they get away with it and be how are the people responding how they get as they people responding to the how is the public responding to these ventures ok well at first though not a lot of people understood what was going on after my book came out it made pretty big splash so it changed the conversation the media to that point were totally destroyed disregarding any counterargument to the narrative of the of the corporate school reformers and in my book change that to
12:51 pm
a certain degree so you have some of the media actually reporting a little bit about the campaign money is coming in from out of state the indianapolis public school board races been funded by people. all across the american trying to get certain people on board to rubber stamp all this through so you have it coming from all different types of directions as a public reaction been opposed to the voucher system into the charter system. there is some resistance yeah. but it's not a major top of resistance there's going to be a rally at the state house next month but it's hard to to educate the people and the people who do have the money to try to get the word i don't really go about educating the people they throw their money into the political system trying to get democrats elected chang's all this but that that's never going to happen dues gerrymandering going on there is hardly any democrats
12:52 pm
who are pro public education left in the house and senate in the end in the majority it's run by a majority of republicans in both house and and the governor's office so i don't think you're going to change this by voting and i'll think that's going to happen and maybe eventually but you're gonna first have to educate people and you think of you i mean in the old days that you had unions you have the socialist movement you have dads who have their own newspapers days of reason trying to get out the real news to the general populace today as you know it's pretty much you see propaganda a twenty four seven whether it's at the local level or the national mall. but how can we trust the public school system at this point i mean does if if you look at the comparisons of where the u.s. stands in ranks as far as the you know the tests on an annual basis we are far
12:53 pm
behind other industrialized countries. there is there does seem to be something wrong with the public education system no. yeah i will follow the test in my i don't believe in standardized testing i think it's a waste the money i think it pigeonholes teachers into basically p.c. teaching to the test and it tells you how well a specific student has done on that specific test but i agree there needs to be. some type of reform in public education you need to get rid of the steroids testing there's need to be more social justice taught there is need to be something true taught about american history instead of this americans exceptionalism and you know the massacres the white race is done throughout time is is want lost but at the the day the issue seems to still stem from the fact of whether the government is spending money on public education or it spending money on private charter school
12:54 pm
ing. there is there is still a sort of there's going to be an ideological control the ultimate coming from the coming from the government in some fashion or it's crony capitalism or whether it's basically you know potentially brainwashing of students in their history no yeah i mean there's not much talk of real issues in education if you think of education mainly in trying to understand why we are on this planet why we're alive in the bigger kind of questions we as human beings out of the asking you don't have any of that. in public schools or at all weathers charter schools or traditional public schools it's all pretty much synergy on training the future workforce which may or may not exist and business has always been involved in education and that they what . for instance are the hope personalized learning movement that's going on now with
12:55 pm
the ed tech so you have i pads in schools you have online learning. so what's going on is the surveillance state the military industrial complex the commercialization of the internet all this is getting wrapped in and entwined together so you have these intake companies that are interested not only in sewing their products schools but also their interest in arresting what these kids are doing online so you have a high school kid and they're doing an assignment for their english class chances are they're also looking up things on amazon no shoes dresses whatever it may be and that data is collected. after a shot of mumbai mother russia india was heckled harassed and abused practically every week for hundreds of weeks all because he and his eighty four year old neighbor had decided that the garbage piling up on the shores of verse over
