12:30 pm
country but that's that's only the beginning of the bad news because thanks to the war on terror spending and the democrat republican put it all on the credit card style of leadership that we've seen in the past few decades things are only going to get worse according to c.n.n. b c the most recent projections from the nonpartisan congressional budget office indicate that debt held by the public will rise to ninety three percent of gross domestic product in the next ten years the highest since just after the end of world war two in fact by two thousand and fifty the debt is predicted to hit one hundred sixty percent of our gross domestic product that's that's well within most of our lifetimes my friends which means the great bubble of borrowed economic time we are all living under is going to pop sooner than later so we'd better start watching the hawks. the. real that would be. the plot of.
12:31 pm
the day like you that i got. with. the. welcome everyone to watching the entire world with her and then to have a. man. that some u.s. government does not know how to handle its finances well they do i mean do you think tablets just the the number is so big you know when you look at the but the billboard up in the biggest time square or whatever it is a lot of the other places where you can see the star you think it is the big words like the number is so massive at this point that it's like when when you or i have that there are other people have the number get so big really. what can i do. when we were when we were younger and the whole national debt when the fine went up and
12:32 pm
everybody or sign was a big deal about the debt you know we were all told it's like about twenty thousand dollars per person for a man under and and having lived in new york moving to new york in the ninety's and seeing that clock and walking past every day and just saying it constantly go up it becomes real to you and now once again we have another generation of people looking at. financial insecurity that they didn't put themselves and so no it's interesting because when you just look at recently you know the gas that's been added to the fire that is the u.s. national debt you know the end just the people of the national debt is kind of the told what amount of annual budget deficit is held by the u.s. and our government spending on things like that we're spending more than we actually put out or take care of so there's no no no for yeah most of the most heroic or twelve months of them or isn't you make when we are we. a little small. recently that has been on the rise due to the passing of the president trumps one
12:33 pm
point five trillion dollar tax cut in december twenty seventh seen em to simply congress's moves last year to increase spending on domestic and your favorite mine military programs because again we're out spending what we have you know and it's interesting cause it's like all the republicans talk about oh we're going to do deficit spending we can do there's going to there's a lot of seems like in the last few years it's going to go. so and it's not going to stop just this isn't going to magically go away and i think there's this idea that you know one trumps out of office or somebody else is in office it's magically this trillions and trillions of dollars it's going to magically go away and that's not the truth actually the congressional budget office is predicting that this serious deficit will come in at around eight hundred ninety seven. billion a fifteen point one percent increase over twenty eight thousand seven hundred seventy nine billion which is about what our military budget is you know the c b o actually forecast that the deficit will keep rising and i actually have one
12:34 pm
trillion way freight annually every year. beginning in two thousand and twenty and it won't drop below one trillion and so probably after twenty twenty nine. if things you know if we don't magically find a lot of change in the carriage question we're going to be in trouble cutting needless spending. that's a big. you know. it's the interest the truly gets you on something like this i mean this is with every yeah because i mean just think about this the interest on our national debt right now is about three hundred ninety billion dollars annually and imagine like you know we all have like your credit card debt or student loan debt imagine avoid the interest on that you know there's three hundred i mean this is the house is on fire and no one is doing anything about it no even talking about it there never mention in the state of the union address recently the drug did nothing about it there brian riedl a senior fellow at the manhattan institute told reason dot com last year that the
12:35 pm
real danger of all this is this money at reasonable interest rates they will be reasonably concerned that the debt is growing beyond our ability to finance it at a certain point the investors will demand that we get our fiscal house in order you know about starts with we've got to start that's when you start raising taxes and we all know in this economy in the cost of things we can't afford raise taxes right now in the and well only on the middle class and therefore not the rich good point good point just saying. in two thousand and thirteen the world health organization's international agency for research on cancer classified out classified outdoor air pollution as a cancer causing agent more commonly known as a core senator and then in twenty eighteen the e.p.a. is national center for environmental assessment published a study showing that when it comes to air pollution blacks specifically had one point five four times higher burden the end of the overall population and this week the union of concerned scientists released
12:36 pm
a report regarding me in the equitable exposure to air pollution from vehicles in california they found that african-american latino and asian californians are exposed to particulate matter pollution forty three thirty nine and twenty one percent higher respectively than white californians and that people living in los angeles county are exposed to sixty percent more vehicle pollution than the state average and two hundred fifty percent more than the san francisco bay area know what this means is that poor people of color are. higher risk for slowed long function growth development of asthma heart and lung disease heart attacks a regular herpes some blood clots just to name a few it also means that the concept of environmental justice has missed the injustices happening to people of color why well as robert bowler the father of environmental justice wrote in his book confronting environmental racism voices from the grassroots at the heart of the problem is the fact that the united states is a racially divided nation where extreme racial inequities continue to persist so hawk
12:37 pm
watchers why is there so little protection for those of certain complection if you see the you know you see these studies and things like this to yeah it really drives home the point you know you know this country's institutional racism a mental thing it's not just oh someone's calling someone a word or you know the police are things like this is killing visibly killing them because of the way our institutions set up specifically with pollution and one of the is that to understand about this what they did is they took this levels of particulates you know in these small particular it's in the air and they went around look using census data figure out where people lived and that's kind of came out one of the things if you understand about urban areas when it comes to race as a people kind of get locked into neighborhoods or locked into areas because they have to because it's near work they have to because it's the only affordable
12:38 pm
housing and so cars were specifically to be clear cars where this was specifically used for this. subset of pollution sources so on road vehicles and that's it but it doesn't factor in pollution from agriculture or the general environment stationary sources so that would be like refineries factories so when you add on to that even more and more and you go into like the poor you are you're probably going to live the closest to refineries factories agriculture. sure and you're going to be exposed to that it's interesting you bring up cars and woods woods also for assuming above the study for use of people who don't use cars and so you can't afford to don't have a car whatever they actually face exposure to pollution levels nineteen percent higher above the state average mean one quarter of the population in los angeles county experiences pollution levels that are bigger than double the speed over to drive and that's that thing about being you know people say ok it's great that you're using public transportation unfortunately what that means is that people who
12:39 pm
are taking buses and walking are literally exposing themselves because they're around and that's where people in their cars i mean you look at cars like test floods great if you can afford one and it cleans all the air down even you know dirty bombs but most people can't afford a tesla with fancy air filters or anything outside and one of the things is sort of how to fix that and we know we know we're looking at the green new deal which we've heard about for years it's been around. we're looking at this and trying to sort of fix the problem. when answers are there we're just not doing it clean public transportation that would allow those living in the in these poor neighborhoods or these isolated neighborhoods to be able to not be so living in such congested traffic they wouldn't need as many cars on the road and one of those was the light rail systems or bullet trains and that was one of things so sadly this week california is brand new super progressive governor. mr newsome gabbin
12:40 pm
announced his week that california's high speed rail project that former governors ground and schwarzenegger spearheaded is now one hold because as new some put it quote let's be real the current project s. plan would cost too much and take too long that must be nice for someone living in sacramento. who has the money to stay in his nice clean car and not have to deal with that he doesn't have to worry about his children going out and breathing this stuff and having asthma for the rest of their lives he doesn't have to worry about that but i think it's gross that while you know you have the few democrats and a few progressives on the hill right now and even nancy pelosi of all people out there pushing this ok we really do have to do this now we need to do this green new deal and here is gavin newsom like yeah but it serves bums of a so right or wrong. show grows because of the end of a these are the people that get hurt yeah yeah failing infrastructure it's usually
12:41 pm
the people that are economically disadvantaged the best without that's where that hurts worst and then it works its way up the chain and as we go to break off watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics are covered up facebook twitter and you tube see our poll shows that r t v dot com coming up we're talking everything from the recent protests in haiti to the controversy over the cover of esquire magazine with the author and speaker walking so stay tuned for what you the harks. i've been saying the number. they've matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten like. timestamping each day. eighty five percent of global
12:42 pm
wealth he longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise was cheered some with four hundred to five hundred trades first second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember in one one business show you can't afford to miss one only boom box. happened and another one of the highest amount of sway or both the food. bank itself motive to. close in this way got to dot so hard not to think i don't have the discipline this move but there was a plan that i want and i don't need start then if. this is the only thing that we
12:43 pm
would do is music because everybody fights his own way. to. the floor lukens off the food was out of his will to sort it out the rabbit hole and leave it at the top of the whole mountain of. what i think is this is the fund that is a constant. twenty fourteen a bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you're still here to put it but i mean your lives put to do it with the new bill is that i mean you believe it or the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took. these invested over five billion dollars
12:44 pm
to assist ukraine in these another goal that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. we've only reached the halfway point of the week and watch out world because as the great bob dylan once preowned the times they are changing especially for the good folks at esquire who discovered this week that putting a random white trump supporting teenager from wisconsin on their cover during black history month most are getting featured articles and magazines is the yellow best style citizen uprising currently taking place in haiti government forces there have already killed five protesters inside of a week as hundreds of haitians have taken to the streets in revolt against rising costs economic stagnation and government corruption and speaking of neoliberal
12:45 pm
policies got a ride demographic presidential candidate from all the harris was back in the headlines this week as the long time california attorney general admitted to smoking a little reefer while listening to two bach and dog back in her college days which is odd because as you hip hop fans know it's rather impossible for harris to have been getting stoned to snoop and packed given that she graduated from howard university in one nine hundred eighty six and the university of california hastings in one nine hundred eighty nine well super pac didn't have the same until the early one nine hundred ninety s. joining us today to sort out these discrepancies and sensitivity is an historic uprising is the author of the new book we speak for ourselves a word from forgotten black america the one the only do you would get so. it's always great having you on and this is an interesting week of issues that we kind of sprung up looking at let's start with esquire and get that out the way first
12:46 pm
just play attendance and i was going to make sense of it. but i think it might be to classify i mean that but that's kind of what i'm. it's like. what it esquire do wrong and all of a slug like early labor so i don't want to pick on it. his is this look on the front of the cover is like everybody gets annoyed with white america it's a sort of way yeah it is let i think i think they were trying to you know ruffle some feathers. just going to let's just try to play devil's advocate let's just try to be nice. you hear a lot about masculinity oppressive culture a lot of things that have been happening to a lot of teenagers in groups in this country and i guess they went on and said well here's a regular kid what is his country like in a problem is saying that you acknowledge and all of these people who are being gunned down these people who are being thrown in jail because the colored skin these people who are just being. forced to deal with this dirty system every day
12:47 pm
are regular kids you don't get to be regular kids that you get to be a regular kid this kid you know some of the calls of his are a mess i don't want to pick on a kid but some of the quotes in the article was some of the most like ridiculous things i've ever heard in my life it must be really easy to be you know young the way you can be from the esquire for nothing. and it's not pick on him because her he's from wisconsin my. home town well. let me get this fall that's the thing he's he is what everyone is worried about everyone you know certain politic only if you're the american boy what do we do and it's not this idea that we shouldn't help the american boy but there is a point where it's like if you're having this conversation what happens and one of the interesting things i thought was that. i was about to moderate but ask where are you can say there are addition and you know just it is black history month
12:48 pm
so when you look at there is they have an academy award winning black actor right there on the on the cover for black history and now they're coming out and said that the us cover is part of a bigger series of stories you know it's we're going to get to everybody else later you know what is black history month you get to double down on what it is you know that you know like i said the crazy thing about it is you know just speaking from the perspective of a person who had to deal with some of these systems we still do with them you know i never got a chance to be an american but african to. boy. the gives you a whole different experience than just you know i would love to see a regular kid from a block full of extraordinary people you know who could have weighed cooler quote says i'm interested in places not just you know. little room get the cover away don't you know they sort of separate everyone even as our kids are separating
12:49 pm
it's like one day it will do we're going to do you know why don't you girls men are going to do that do you think that's part of the problem is that they all need to talk to each other like there is and i could be wrong even you know took my valuable time i took my valuable time and i've read the article and i'm like oh my god. you know. you know and and well you know magazine covers and these things are your cultural issues you also have what's happening down in haiti the not a lot of people are talking about you're not seeing the same amount of attention put on them as very under-reported i mean you've got protesters there are demanding the current haitian president step down and what's interesting about the haiti situation is how much do you think the united states kind of shares in the responsibility for the creation of all the problems or yes they've had the hurricanes and things like that but we're talking about a long colonial history that the u.s. has been there it's been it's been going on for a living streaming a long time and we owe a lot even the way haiti is even a way haiti is free to introduce to us this is just wrong think about it in school
12:50 pm
they teach you about the american revolution and it is a republic which is not true democracy it teach about the french revolution and as a dictator is it not true democracy the haitian revolution was democracy and america was so scared of what happened with that that they decided to start cloud over haiti of a sense everyone somebody's trying to sell the stories of us giving some to of our country give us some type of aid or support but at the same time you know i think i think this should be on the front cover of esquire magazine the horror and what these people are going through this should be the story. you know it's interesting because. it's like the tricky thing with a is a lot of times the age you give is like one time only right like you can you can send a bunch of you know clothes and food to a place but that that's not seeds you know that's not things that actually create infrastructure you know the things we know that even you know after the hurricane in haiti a lot of very large. share of the groups didn't exactly do what they
12:51 pm
said and that's the problem is some of that stuff is tied also to seems that in nonwhite country is correct me if i'm wrong it seems like there are aid is always tied to something you have to change as part of your government you have to change this border you have to allow this you have to do this. to be not accountable you know you could do using these people minute stories to collect all of this money in the united been doing the right thing with the money and as you know a nest that's american that's very american in this country this country is for of people who would use the stories of the you will press and the effort to elevate themselves when you challenge them or when you talk to them about it you've been a bully or you know you're not seeing the whole story when it just is what it is you know being a thief is being a thing of doesn't matter if your child is white or if there's blue or if it's a hoodie or the is the thief isn't the first google i get well speaking of things
12:52 pm
that are very american i think everyone at this table has had pop in their heart and we know that let's talk about kemal heirs let's talk about this moment do you think this whole i smoked weed i inhaled and i listen to. is her you know i have hot sauce in my bag moment that moment where she tries to sound like she is with it and have with the kids say really and he's looking just like a real politician right now and she has a problem the people around her. for her and her team whoever is in her ear is telling her that she's not black enough so she's making of all of these attempts to try to play to one of a stereotype is going to make her look blacker than you need to be black come out of the office because you used to be a prosecutor i don't know if this because she was for the three strikes law out of office because she was against the legalization of marijuana it till it became
12:53 pm
popular to became popular i don't know if this because she's married to somebody is telling her that she's not black enough i mean she needs to step it up and do more black things if she wants if she want which is problematic with them is so you know you've got a time traveler and you kids listen to music before it comes out like who was. very upset i think she tried to appropriate the ninety's you know that with howard it's not like they don't get it. it's such like it's such a classic you know politician professional politician and i'll tell you something else that i think what it is. while i don't agree with many. politics and i do believe she's a cop at the end of the day and that makes me hard for the idea of her running everything at this time but one thing i do say is that while cory booker gets to go out and be mr i'm
12:54 pm
a vietnam everything's great he's not running out like hang in baltimore wearing a hoodie with a camera and that's the thing it's at some point is it because she's a woman she's got to be likable she's got to be black enough is there a link there is always more pressure she has to be likable she has to do these things and do you think that's like now where you thing literally sexism and her race just sort of i think she wants some tough josh or as a woman she has won some tough elections as a woman becoming a senator is impossible like we have been maybe elected blacks in his in history maybe like ten a point maybe maybe like four or five elected. it's impossible so is that being a woman absolutely you know is that but at the same time she's she's she's overcame a lot of us and i think we need to get away from his idea of who's the black as it was black america because it's ridiculous like come to what some policy is just going to insist to make poverty come with some policies that's going to bring real prison reform not that three strikes stuff he was pushing california not the people
12:55 pm
just of california coastal rule policies does going to drill really really bring about real change is going to help people not the b.s. most i don't care to smoke will kill you as a just because we don't care how good you are going to thank you so much for coming on the bench was a great great time i was over there thanks to the love of. modern genetics owes its self to the work of the oft overlooked british female chemist rosalind franklin was treated like a lowly lab assistant fire piers piers who will go on to essentially steal her notes and claim credit for one of her great discoveries you see franklin was the x. ray scientist as well as the secretary science as well as one who took this image later stolen by her male peers that was the very first proof of the double helix structure of d.n.a. sadly she was not recognized for work until long after her death well that changes which is why the european space agency is giving roslin franklin the credit she
