dates and breaking developments remember can always be found on our twitter page and right after some more great programs here in our to international i'm back with the latest news headlines. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected . so if you want to be president and she. was something that's. actually going to be for us this is what the three of the people are. interested in the.

greetings and salutation it's. all right i've got a treat for you och watchers while we what we spend our days arguing over what to watch next on netflix hill house or big mo for getting lost in that age old never ending debate over which anchor at c.n.n. is the biggest red white and blue military industrial cheerleader the tapper or the blitzer definitely split between the two the world around us has been screaming screaming and unrelenting pain which we are generally oblivious to because we are far too distracted by ourselves a monday of this week the world wildlife fund released the latest the bishan of their two thousand and eighteen living planet report and honestly my friends using the words living planet these days. just may be stretching it after reviewing the

chain saw a raw reality of the report's findings the report which comes out every two years assessed roughly four thousand species of birds mammals reptiles and fish and found that the global wildlife population shrank by sixty percent between one nine hundred seventy and two thousand and fourteen let me just let me just say that again just so you really think about and understand what i just said the global in that x. shows an overall decline of sixty percent of the population sizes of vertebrate animals between one nine hundred seventy and two thousand and fourteen sixty sixty percent mike barratt the executive director of science and conservation at w.w. 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 oceana that is the

scale of what we have dug it is the key word there what we all of us we have dud. i'm sorry my friends but that treat they promised 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 cliff is coming up fast and the only way to wake up is to start watching the whole x. . forty. three look like real that this would be. as it relates to the plot of. the day like you that i got. was that we. would. be. pretty. well to live on the watch of the harks i have

a robot for example half of the wallace. who sucks here we've got earth day for quite a while i think we've all been told over and over that you can't treat living creatures like that expect them to just keep living and coming back i mean eventually what we do as humans is going to affect that might mean look at the american bikes that. perfect example hartman's get very greedy really quickly when it comes to things like meat and for and you know at a time when you needed that to survive i get it but it's when the greed takes over and that's overfishing overhunting over farming and you're right on point with that i mean this report points out that serious population declines are especially pronounced in places like the tropics with south and central america suffering the most dramatic decline and get this eighty nine per cent loss compared to nineteen seventies and for everyone 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 these numbers it's like look if you've got let's say. 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 left but this is still staggering numbers that we are ultimately responsible for that's what's really frightening about this sir. well according to the report one of the you know we are humans are the leading cause of our human activities are the leading causes of the drop and 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 not as a place for animals i mean there are places are obviously. you know sanctuaries in

certain place called sanctuaries for a reason they are 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 even eaten into extinction. that's really incredible i mean just so people under seven years of the wearables we blog just three there's many more but here's just three other bills that we lost just in the two thousand. we have the west african black right now sort of declared extinct twenty levon that's not coming back we're never going to see another one of those again the pyramid backs i pronounced that right went out in two thousand and the caribbean monk seal declared extinct in two thousand it does this three animals we've lost and in the two thousands alone that we are never going to see on the surface and those ones that are on claudette are close to that yes he's got leatherback sea turtles that's the biggest of all sea turtles so very large chinese alligator is

about one hundred fifty to two hundred left the sheath tailed bat only about fifty to one hundred of those left sumatra ran into is about seventy 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 in 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 just you know one goes that has an effect on all the rest of the soup we have been killing off most of the biodiversity of the plane of 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 pump aoe and defense secretary jim out of this came out late tuesday and called for a cease fire in the war or to america stand cohen has the story. secretary of defense. jim mattis and secretary of state mike pompei o both issued calls for a cease fire in yemen matters 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. drop you know bombs that will permit the special envoy martin gripped and very good knows what he's doing to get them

together and we end this war 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 three 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 coalition air 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 all matters didn't say the u.s. would stop supplying the saudis in emory's 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. or were boito that we were you kill off all the animals and clearly killing off yourselves in the process is what we're doing with complete images and if you're of those numbers it's devastating right i think what's really sad about it too is that you know it was far as the mainstream media and what most people are looking at it barely has gotten mentioned it took a 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 missed hasn't been new it's been going on for years. and that wasn't enough but now 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. go you know western media do extent that we won't report some building until one of our own is and 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 and 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 set i mean a point when a bus load of children were accidentally murder by weapons we gave them 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 i'm a little whatever you know you want to protect but i think it's more about being the people who bring the 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 much 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 they're going to see a lot of lip service they're going to see a lot of people oh how dare they oh we don't like there's a maybe they'll remove the new prince and put somebody else in there but being that all you hear over and over again is the excuses well strategically they need to be our liberties are rich huge and believe they've made more than you know there's estimates that over three million yemenis have add up to the 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 peacekeeping sit down at the table for good or are you going to break watchers don't forget the you forgive 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 dose of conservative thinking as steve malzberg joins us to discuss the

debate over birth rights and the cultural procreation is of how we stay true to watch. the global economy has been dead since two thousand and eight and through the transfusion a lot of money has been animated and kept alive it looked 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 stocks. semiconductor stocks yeah 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. thank you are a. few . thank you. thank. you. since eight hundred sixty eight when the fourteenth amendment was adopted into the constitution it has been without question that human beings born 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 it 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 in new orleans sued the state for giving a monopoly of the slaughterhouse industry to a single company but more importantly it challenged the definition of citizen claiming that citizens were only protected by a very small set of national privileges like accessing sub-treasury s. 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 of bridge 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 and i thought you were going to say is great white males and it was what i would have used to call the great by a you know this is an interesting debate that's come up with your society right now

and i want to start by asking it's interesting because it moves 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 program if the numbers are going down what is the purpose of potentially week a constitutional amendment if congress suddenly jumps on deserve the ones who can to curtail something that is already on the way though. 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 gain 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 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 because i have a lot of us through every can i ask a question and yeah in that one point we all if you trace all our 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 families 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 good 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 leaves the longtime 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 grandpa. 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 many legal and i have to go no no i you. know i'm a flower descended that's great but but that was you were heroes now you're 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 that he can get a really good deal yeah i think he did that with nafta i think he's doing that with china and i think he might be doing it here hopefully you'll get a deal but the democrats really haven't shown any interest look there is no deal and so whatever chuck schumer you know was talking about then and i do recall it there. 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 sign an executive order for this and then he did and it's still going through the courts it's not only donald trump who thinks he has a right to sign an executive order although i don't think 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 a decree from a king or queen coming down upon a 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 or 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 republicans turning up their nose at what is potentially work. 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 the sanctity 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 it looks like you look like you could accomplish here in the united states have a baby you get to stay the baby is a citizen you'll be here forever you just can't have that. about why are we. just. but but we're based on a multicultural history that sorry and those are those who are very very i don't get it you know the answer was our dream our families came here with a dream and usually very little so why do we know that we got that my ancestors got why can't i give that dream to them well again your ancestors and i really really thrilled to know that your sisters 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 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 when 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 coming from a mile away is that there are certain things that are just frowned upon in civilized society and hollow even into 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 mono 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 right 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 sienna 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 are. you're so right i mean the answer is yes i mean and it goes beyond how we 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 mexican food like university of syracuse

threatened on halloween 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 and john imagining mexican food it's crazy how it's just going and it was one. of steve always interesting and you want to thank you so much for coming. as it was that your. artificial intelligence isn't just good for ruining your privacy showing you ads for things you've already bought 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 whales that take a listen. specifically the sounds 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 gram which can calculate the strength of or of the sound in a range of frequencies every time many ai machines or google learn to correctly identify humpback whales with over ninety percent. accuracy and over nine terabytes of data so while wells are losing a great deal of their privacy rights buyers but i think that you know hopefully the data will help us that is all we got for you today remember when the for everyone in the world we're not told real love but tell you all i love you. i am a tyro but for at out of the last people i watch those hawks never a great day and that it.

is this is harlan kentucky. with all the employees even workers three families leaving only. a co money said she wouldn't let us know coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the pay was a said i'd. love to see these people the survivors of a world 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.

that i. think it's not because. i think i'm. some moron that you come. our headline stories this hour opposition from europe to washington's threats to sanction those doing business with the u.s. president but his top security advisor seeks to keep all the.
