i have told the guardian quote we are sleep walking towards the edge of a cliff if there was a sixty percent decline in the human population that would be equivalent to emptying north america south america africa europe china and oceania that is the scale of what we have done it was the key word there what we all of us we have done i'm sorry my friends but that treat their promise to earlier was actually a trick a nasty trick that we've played on ourselves for taking the wildlife and natural world around us for granted and now the edge of that clip is coming up fast and the only way to wake up is to start watching the hawks. to. treat the. real that this would. lead to the bottom. like you that i got. with.

with. this. because i. welcome everyone to watching the harks i have i rolled with them half of the lists. six there we've had earth day for quite a while i think we've all been told over and over that you can't treat living creatures that expect them to just keep living and coming back i mean eventually what we do as humans is going to affect that mummy look at the american bikes that. perfect example yet humans get very greedy really quickly when it comes to things like you know meat and fur and you know at a time when you needed that to survive i get it but it's when the greed takes over a month over fishing over hunting over farming and you're right on point with that

i mean this report points out that like series population declines are especially pronounced in places like the tropics with south and central america suffering the most dramatic decline get this eighty nine per cent loss compared to nineteen seventy and one living near the lakes and rivers freshwater brush water species numbers have also declined dramatically with the freshwater index showing an eighty three percent decline since the one nine hundred seventy you know in these numbers it's like look if you've got let's say you know ten thousand of one species and you're seeing a sixty percent drop. you know it might not show up as much as if a species only has one hundred of them left or two hundred of them but this is still staggering numbers that we're ultimately responsible for that's from some really frightening about this search. will go to they were poor what are the you know we are humans are the leading cause or human activities are the leading cause of the drop in a lot of that is destruction of wildlife habitats and water so people around the

world are now using about three quarters of all of our arable land for agriculture and industry and other purposes. as a place for animals i mean there are places are obviously. you know sanctuaries and certain place called sanctuaries for a reason they're everywhere and they have to be protected from something the largest cause of mass killings of animals for food was for animals with food three hundred mammal species as a species essentially being eaten eaten into extinction. it's really incredible i mean just so people under seven years of the where animals we've lost the sprit there's many more because there's three animals that we've lost just in the two thousands we have the west african black rhino right now sort of declared extinct twenty eleven that's not coming back we're never going to see another one of those again the pyramid backs produce that right one out in two thousand and the caribbean sea eagle declared extinct in two thousand it does this three animals

we've lost in the thousands alone that we are never going to see on the surface and those are the ones that are on clothes that are close to extinction so you've got leatherback sea turtles that's the biggest of all stater and also a very large chinese alligator is about one hundred fifty to two hundred left be tailed bat only about fifty to one hundred of those left sumatra ran into about seventy to seventy five hundred left and dying at a rate of about a thousand a year or so you're seeing animal after animal and you know it this isn't just like you know it isn't just about. well we get to see pretty animals that isn't just going to assume that that was why we need to save it's all all species were intertwined. there's always are two and we don't just you know one goes that has an effect on all the rest of us if we end up killing off most of the biodiversity of the planet the planet that's going to end up killing us off because the planet works like that even though we like to believe that we're bigger than the planet

but guess what we're not. far more frightening than any book or movie stephen king or clive barker could dream up is the reality of the war in yemen three going on four years the war between the saudi arabian led coalition and the hoody rebels inside the borders of middle east porous country is without a doubt a horror show that the world can ignore no longer and what could go down as either the greatest trick or worst true treat or worst trick ever played on the people of yemen both secretary of state mike bump a.o. and defense secretary jim madis came out late tuesday and called for a cease fire in the war or to america's danko and has the story. secretary of defense jim mattis and secretary of state mike pompei you both issued calls for a cease fire in yemen but have said it should happen within a thirty day timeframe the longer term solution and by longer term i mean thirty days from now we want to see everybody around the peace table based on ashish fire

based on a pullback from the border and then based on she dropped you know farms that will permit to special envoy martin groups and she's very good knows what he's doing to get them together and sweet and this for that is the only way we're going to really solve this pump aoe followed up with a carefully worded statement calling on the who through rebels to disarm first the time is now for the so sation of hostilities including missile and you have the strikes from hoofy controlled areas subsequently cool. strikes must cease in all populated areas in yemen trump administration's relationship with saudi arabia has been under scrutiny since the killing of jamal in the saudi consulate in istanbul and some lawmakers have been pushing for an end to u.s. support for the war and arms sales to saudi arabia back in april the united nations called yemen the world's worst humanitarian crisis at least fifty six thousand

people have been killed by airstrikes but that's just the tip of the iceberg one hundred thirty children die every day as a result of extreme hunger and disease and fifty thousand died in twenty seventeen alone a saudi blockade has the country facing an imminent famine fourteen million people about half of yemen's population could soon starve to death or matters didn't say the u.s. would stop supplying the saudi's and moralities with arms he did say they're ready to end the violence that could be because the war in yemen has turned into what many call a quagmire that they're simply unable to win despite an overwhelming military advantage reporting in washington dan cohen our team. for boito that we were kill off all the animals and clearly killing off ourselves in the process as well when you look at like images of your of those numbers as devastating right i think what's really sad about it too is that you know this far

as the mainstream media and what most people are looking at it barely has gotten mentioned it took up reporter a journalist being killed by saudi arabia and it took sort of you know journalists getting arms to suddenly have everybody go now it's too far now it's ok so millions of people in yemen and children starving this hasn't been know it's been going on for years. and that wasn't enough but now oh now it's well you know a reporter not to take away from his death that's horrible but it's weird to me that that's where the line is that children pile literally piles of dead children muslim and though it shows you the ego. of such as you go you know western media to extent that we won't report some building until one of our own is in danger and then suddenly saudi arabia is you know then suddenly you know even though how many times we talked about the buses of kids getting shot with rockets you know the one course to that i think that springs to mind when i see madison pump aoe up there or you know trying to dance this liar that somehow oh now we care

. you know what do you think do you think this is true do you think they're really going to push saudi arabia. to the bargaining table to the peace table or is this just kind of political posturing and grandstanding because they're kind of boxed and no you know here stateside well i think yeah they're boxed and i think like i said they have to do something. i think it's a lot of political posturing because they could have done the seventy a point when a bus load of children were accidentally murder by weapons week if you didn't want to use fire when you found that again shill driven and innocent children who have nothing to do with your politics or war that they were starving to death they were getting cholera and i really want. so excuse me if i'm a little whatever you know you want to protect but i think it's more about being the people who bring saudi arabia to their knees but then they can take you know pomp and you know just just as every other secretary of state as they take credit

for these moments and i would advise against it because it doesn't go well i mean hillary in libya she took credit for that didn't work out so well for her there's a long list of secretaries of state that have fallen men to that drastically and we're we're we're so tired. sweet saudi money that we're not going to you know you're not going to you're going to see a lot i think you're going to see a lot of lip service you're going to see a lot of people oh how dare they oh we don't like this and maybe they'll remove the new prince and put somebody else in there but being that all you hear over and over going to the excuses well strategically they need to be our liberties are in t.j. i believe they've made more than you know there's estimates that over three million yemenis have had to flee flee their homes you've got over two hundred eighty thousand had to seek asylum in places like djibouti and somalia also have fighting not super safe places that move so yeah you'll excuse me if i'm not exactly jumping

up and down for the great peace came down at the table for good art is going to break court watchers don't forget that would you prefer the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our poll shows that r t v dot com coming up we get a strong. conservative thinking of steve malzberg joins us to discuss the debate over birth rights and the cultural appropriation. so stay tuned to watch the. relationship banks but recommend trouble couples to keep talking to each other this advice would also apply to president putin and president trump on the eve of the second meeting. to pull u.s.

russia relationship out of crisis. i'm. not snazzy by you. and they sent. me on the unions at once like yeah so i'll sit down. rationally assaults that. design is relatively easy. to get the new doc was on my way is now watch. the pool mutable up

like peter in the zimmer. systems room. assaulted you cease to. exist small fortune in that into your. fortune for the arts maybe a lot about this morning and she just felt like she would. leave. since eight hundred sixty eight when the fourteenth amendment was adopted into the constitution that has been without question that human beings but one on the united states soil are citizens of the united states you see the bill of rights does not apply directly against states which is why the fourteenth amendment was so

important it gave the federal government the power to keep the states from interfering in people's individual rights the very important rights and protects the government from interfering in our due process equal protection and the privileges or immunities of u.s. citizenship and eight hundred seventy three a group of slaughterhouses and new orleans sued the. for giving a monopoly of the slaughterhouse industry to a single company but more importantly it challenge the definition of citizen claiming that citizens are only protected by a very small set of national privileges like accessing sub-treasury and unfettered use of navigable waterways these terrible and often called indefensible decisions by the supreme court opened the door to the horrendous black codes we now know as jim crow all to stop certain human beings specifically newly freed slaves from having economic liberty or in one example from owning guns which brings us to the recent announcement by president trump that he is considering and i'm tempted to

farai the first line of the fourteenth amendment which states all persons born or naturalized in the united states and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the united states and of the state wherein they reside no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the united states nor shall any state deprive any person of life liberty or property without due process of law nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws trump was allegedly told by advisers that he could take away the right of birthright citizenship by executive order but is that true and is that even a remote lee good answer to the problems facing our immigration system originally meant to protect the human beings forced into slavery the fourteenth amendment is now being used to turn back the clock to a time when the only people who really had rights in this country or white male landowners joining us now to discuss the plate and fight of the great white male

and other things is conservative commentator steve how you do it but i thought you were going to say it is great white males and. we have used to call the great by a this is an interesting debate that's come up with the right milt i want to start by asking it's interesting because it. needs to be said that according to pew research the number of children born in the united states to undocumented or unauthorized immigrant parents has been steadily declining since two thousand and seven so what is the problem kind of can if the numbers are going down what is the purpose of potentially week aiming a constitutional amendment if congress suddenly jumps on reserve the ones who can to curtail something that is already on the way down. well first of all donald trump is a genius because even though he must know deep down there's no way he could sign and he could sign an executive order but the first court to get it is going to put

is going to stay that executive order and this will eventually get all the way up to the supreme court and between that signing and the supreme court decision this is going to be a major issue people are going to be talking about it and the country overwhelmingly will support if you ask them do they want people who are illegals to have a baby and that baby getting citizenship and then everybody is allowed to stay because of it the overwhelming majority of the country will say no so he's got this now being talked about on watching the hawks and elsewhere and i just don't think it matters that the numbers are going down i think immigration is a huge problem and this is just a part of it a big part of it and i think people would find it obscene if they if everybody knew i don't think everybody knows that you know you could break the law come here have a baby and bingo you hit the jackpot that's not what the fourteenth amendment was intended to be can i ask a lot of us through every can i ask you a question yeah in that one point we all if you trace solar families back we allot

of us were there our parents work so the sins of them had us on the soil and became so the sons i mean there's a lot of family history of all colors and of all cultures that have come here and been born into this into this country and god and so this and shipped through this process why is it so bad now why is it something that like oh now it's a bad thing but you know hundred years ago two hundred years or. fifty years ago. well first of all i don't think there was a problem with illegal immigration and protecting our borders one hundred years you know times change harry reid long time majority leader of the senate democrat from nevada just a few years ago was on the floor of the senate you could google it and find that railing sounding like donald trump on this issue times change the fact is that my grandparents came from four different countries they didn't come you're against the law they didn't sneak in they did not honor a court appearance ticket they came here the legal way and i think most of our

ancestors did and even if they didn't that was then one hundred two hundred one hundred fifty years ago we're living in much different times right now and you don't reward people who break the law i think most most people would agree with that. i would understand people who break the law but taking away birthright citizenship actually does it punishes a whole bunch of people who aren't breaking the law and at some point if there is this you don't get here by breaking the law while i'm on mayflower i just said i'll tell you right now we definitely broke the law we didn't say that we didn't get anything. it didn't like there's no way i definitely mind my family came here illegally. so i have any legal i don't have to go no i don't know i. know i'm a floured this and that that's great but but that was their you were heroes now you are not so good one of them well let me say this back and one thing i want to say is i'm so back in january there was a moment where senator chuck schumer trying to stave off the government said shut

down sat down i believe over hamburgers with donald trump if i'm not mistaken and they sat down and chuck schumer essentially said look we'll give you funding for the border wall will increase military but you've got to let the dreamers stay or we have to come up with something that gives children who are brought here as kids when they don't have a choice in the matter about breaking a law a path to citizenship is this is an example of sort of trump's way of making deals where he says the worst of times. often create the best of opportunities is that what's going on here if he makes it worse then you can get a really good deal yeah i think he did that with think he's doing that with china and i think he might be doing it here hopefully i'll get a deal but the democrats really haven't shown any interest there is no deal and so whatever chuck schumer was talking about then and i do recall it but there's been no deal because of that and by the way it was president obama if you recall went around saying i'm not i mean literally i'm not i can't make this happen i can't

sign an executive order for this and then he did and it's still going through the court so it's not only donald trump who thinks he has a right to sign an executive order although i don't think believes he has that right i've always i've always been a strong i don't like the way we've turned executive orders in the kind of these little idea that there are decrees from the king or queen coming down upon high you know i've always been against those and but one of the interesting things is that a lot of western countries including canada mexico about twenty eight others in addition have birthright citizenship kids born here regardless of what the parents they can be a citizen because there's a certain i believe that there's a certain truth but look it's not the kid who broke the laws as parents broke the law so why punish the kid. one thing i want to say though is that republicans have been complaining the world over a lot of american women aren't having enough kids are paul ryan that was a big thing with him is that we need to pay for social security because women like me to. question why are republicans turning up their nose at what is potentially.

whether illegal or illegal we're going to have kids that will pay taxes that will eventually support the retired class of republican voters lawmakers because they're so worried about. because they're the kids of people who came here illegally went to the head of the line against people who do it legally. invaded this. if you cross the sanctity of our sovereign borders and it becomes a commercial it becomes a commercial for the caravan and others like them saying come on look what you look with you could accomplish here in the united states have a baby you get to stay the babies a citizen you'll be here forever you just can't have that but why steve why what is so dangerous about it why are we so scared of because we're going to the world just deeper but we're based on a multicultural history that sorry measure those who are exterior every right i don't get it you know the answer was our dream our families came here with a dream and usually very little right so why do we have that freedom that we got

that my ancestors got why can i give that dream to them well again your ancestors and i really really thrilled to know that your insistence came on the mayflower think that's great but like mine who came from romania poland russia and austria but they didn't they didn't break the laws they did their did they didn't wave their their home flags as they crossed the border they wanted to come to the united states for a better life and they came legally there is a big difference you got to admit that well i do but i will say this the process of emigrating even one hundred years ago was a much different and actually somewhat simpler process than it is now it didn't require specific lawyers and specialists and it's really a year or so absolutely a broken system but before we run out of time i want to get to the really really important thing that's weak which is the current awful with magen calley about that apparently literally everyone except n.b.c. because coming from

a mile away is that there are certain things that are just frowned upon in civilized society and hollow even and two of those i think are you know blackface and like nazi uniforms we just don't do it because it just it's really bad but here is my question to you see it is are we just getting too sensitive because now i see you know article after article telling mothers of white children you're not allowed to dress them up in black panther are mona. or you know this whole idea that if you're not of that race you can't wear a costume of somebody who might be about rick do you think we're just too sensitive and we can't just have some civilized society just don't show up in black face or and that say you know farm and everything else let's not be sunset i'd like to know where megan kelly megan kelly customer ranks on that list of sensitivity and cultural sensitivity but you're lucky you're so right i mean the answer is yes i mean and it goes beyond how when i mean if a little girl wants to dress up as a native american you know because she saw a car a disney movie or something and she shouldn't be allowed to i don't even know black

panther i don't think there's a race the black panther except that the the superhero was all black costume but it goes beyond that on college campuses the mexican food the university of syracuse direct not hollowing that if the costumes were offensive they were going to have the campus police rip them off the kids and get rid of them and i would visit martin trying to measuring mexican food it's crazy who is just going to end it one day. steve always interesting you know when you want to thank you so much for coming. to me was that your. artificial intelligence isn't just good for ruining your privacy showing you ads for things you've already thought and preparing for the inevitable robot takeover of the human race those ai is artificial intelligence are actually good for something specifically for the songs of the humpback whale which the ai is it was able to distinguish google at least from the whales google and

a group of whale experts have joined forces with pacific island fisheries science center and the u.s. national forces with specific the national oceanic and atmospheric administration and we're going to listen analyze to fifteen years' worth of underwater audio recordings all to find these whale sounds take a listen. specifically the songs of the humpback whale which the ai was able to distinguish not by scanning the audio itself but by turning the audio into what's called the specter of graham which can calculate the strength of a of the sound in a range of frequencies over time and the ai machines at google learn to correctly identify humpback whales with over ninety percent accuracy and over nine terabytes of data so while whales are losing a great deal of their privacy rights but i. think you know hopefully the data will

help us that is all we got for you today remember when the for everyone in this world we are not told real love but tell you all i love you. i am tire over that for at out of the less people i watch those hawks that were great day and that. i had the honor to once again the interview i was to croaky as a former e.u. diplomat and founder and director of conflicts forum and of course we're going to discuss it in weeks. zia says harlan kentucky. we all know that the employees you get rich very funny easily lose. a ko money since he was on the list no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the

coal mines the said. that it was left to these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that is anything ever happened to the coal mines here and that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in the million years i would see that and it's how it's happened. be global economy's been dead since two thousand and eight and through the transfusion of a lot of money has been animated and kept alive it looks like something was going on there but now those transfusions of cash are ending because interest rates are going to start ticking up so now that rotten stinking corpse of the global economy is going to start smelling really bad people are going to start bailing out of stocks technology stocks housing stock. semiconductor stocks right there just like sell sell sell sell sell sell sell and then of course you could have market down twenty thirty forty fifty sixty percent.

even. if some. people as i live eat here didn't feel confident. leave them. we have many things in this world and this is you know for everyone and why some people's wants to take our things all the power just for themselves since that is the mother you may think we live.

in the. thank you but i don't think you. sometimes. donald trump said national security adviser john bolton says the u.s. does not want to harm allies that trade with iran and a sign that washington could be willing to ease sanctions.
