yes looking up the state of the world today there is without a shadow of a doubt the need for troop philanthropies charity on a massive scale current estimates put the number of those without food in this small blue planet at about eleven point three percent or just over eight hundred million people most experts were there saw will tell you that the driving force of world hunger is poverty and with approximately one point three billion people currently living in extreme poverty almost half the world's population living on just two dollars and fifty cents a day this is a problem that's not going anywhere anytime soon and is only going to get worse especially when u.s. aid be federal aid and assistance arm of the united states government one of the richest and most charitable and powerful nations on the planet starts talking guns and special forces training rather than food and infrastructure yes a new article in debbie excited covered that the u.s.

global development lab based inside of usaid is exploring the idea of rapid expeditionary development teams or red teams the red team members would be specifically recruited and trained to deliver novel techniques practices and tools optimized to secure communities vulnerable to violent extremist radicalization and exploitation secure communities you say i hate oh but it doesn't end there the reporter went on to describe how red team development officers would be deployed as two person teams in place with nontraditional usa partners executing a mix of off pensive and be pensive and stability operations in extremis conditions . traditional usaid partners. in case you haven't guessed a nontraditional partner translates to the us marine corps forces special operations command u.s. army special forces the state department bureau of international narcotics and law

enforcement bears the f.b.i. . because nothing my friends nothing says humanitarian aid like guns agents and special forces soldiers you don't believe me just ask libya iraq and now it is way. well let's start by watching the honks. the. real deal with. the bottom. like you got. with. the. welcome on the watch and dark side i robot and i'm tapping the wallace and we are

once again once again left to wonder how you know how yes most definitely seriously it's pretty. usa which is not exactly u.s. a id was created in one nine hundred sixty one by the way for the folks at home to help the united states sort of win the hearts and minds of citizens in poor countries supposedly through civil action economic aid the humanitarian assistance all during the cold war but it's been accused a lot of time specifically for. being involved in regime change but quietly inside under the guise of we're helping so what they're hoping with is what they call their office of transition and it's helping helping communities transitioning to democracy. basically libya. i mean basically us over and over like you know. they go in when deliver

a. regime change so what's interesting about this is the red team the purpose it's being touted as a way to incorporate civilian humanitarian personnel into conflicts in order to help america and its allies win the once again that magical idea hearts and minds of local communities but i don't know how to how you can do that when the people bringing the aid are surrounded by special forces soldiers and they themselves potentially would be taking part in combat i mean that's what they're there for to take off on the sense of meaning. these soldiers these military people or mercenaries whoever gets hired that's what's going to have so one of the things of the hearts and minds is the report highlights how these red teams would be trained and what they would be authorized to do under this idea was conduct

themselves in a as a force multiplier able to contribute a full suite of security skills as needed so they're saying that the training for these red team members for usaid would include survival evasion resistance escape training negotiations cultural communication. e.m.t. wilderness care civil reconnaissance the weapons qualification sources so i mean. that they don't want to see that when they're already afraid of the military there are any afraid of what aid is going to come and could. ring usa has such a bad track record i don't think we're going guys with guns the best you know but all. politicians have a hard time in this day and age their every word deed and vote just a click away for all of us and all some claim this is a bad thing and will make some people refrain from public service after this

weekend i'm not sure that's a bad idea senator dianne feinstein whose personal wealth is estimated at over ninety million dollars was filmed recently responding to a group of children from the climate advocacy group the sunrise movement who are asking the senator to vote yes on the great new deal. scientists say that we have twelve years to turn this around well it's not like overturning roe it's ten years we're going to do senator and it's just the government around in ten years or the faces of the people who are going to be living with us sometimes if you go to meet with people by people and also and what's interesting about this group is i've been doing this for years i know what i'm doing. and not to be outdone texas senator john cornyn tweeted a nice little quote about the dangers of socialism from benito mussolini yet the same mostly who aside from being paid by britain's m i five to publish pro-war

propaganda is also known for literally creating the fascist party and senator corker and thought repeating the mistakes of mussolini would be a good move and last but not least marco rubio was all a twitter president nicolas maduro by hosting a before and after image of the late libyan dictator moammar gadhafi who was famously murdered by rebels by the u.s. military and he also posted before and after images of panamanian leader manuel noriega who was again probably most famous for making micio use errand boy in the eighty's who was taken out of power during the one nine hundred eighty eight u.s. invasion so watchers remember it's probably not the sleeping bots that will get you it's this the wakings that. the most definitely i mean this is like. it was like a hit parade up there hit parade after hit parade of the absolute without a doubt in my opinion the stupidity of us political leaders from movie zero to i

mean feinstein talking down the kids you know the long day that you live in and i got to tell you from my from my viewpoint it's worse than just a little clip i mean it's like fifteen you know i hate to advocate politicians lying but like if you can't say anything nice to a twelve year old who's trying to be involved in the political system instead you talk down and condescend to quote your resume to at least just lie and say oh yeah i'm working hard on that twelve twelve years i mean in that i mean i don't know what's better. i go you know something great and i'm here now partly because a politician did something very similar when i was. in fourth grade so i would have been eight years old we went to the wisconsin state capital and i got to meet governor tommy thompson and at the time they were cutting funding in public schools for arts programs and music programs and you know they asked the kids to ask questions and i asked him and the way he responded to me was very similar he just

patted me on the head. and smiled at walk away and never answered my question so you know i'm not entirely separate and apparently these kids and you know we'll get the marco is a little bit too but apparently these kids. cleansings been around for so long she has her like auto defenders in the democratic no matter what she does she can't do wrong even like being mean to kids caitlin flanagan wrote in the atlantic that the children were actually jack booted tots and aggrieved teenagers jackbooted and that the senior senator from california knows more about climate science and american real politic than all the fifth graders in the world jack booted. their kids confronting their senator about politics and that's jackbooted ok let me do this really quick ok what scares me of an aside from jackbooted taught is the concept that she sang about real politics just just to give you a quick one read also because it was a coin it was

a term that was coined like mid nineteenth century germany the definition by mere according to miriam webster is politics based on practical material factors rather than theoretical or ethical objectives the person credited with bringing real politics to america by the way tax henry kissinger henry can gather the gold war criminal who thought bombing cambodia in the stone age was diplomacy. well you know and speaking out of the war criminals we all know marco rubio is ramping up the kind of throw his hat into the henry kissinger game with that horrible tweet that i'm still wondering if twitter will magically take down like it would anyone else's but i guess marco gets a pass because after all we have to remember marco is a creep in the chicken hawks but he's a politician so i guess that's ok. last week we covered the live aid concert happening on the colombian side of the border with sadness wailing hosted by british billionaire richard branson the point of the event was according to him to get the venice was

a military to open the border to outside interests and well we've covered quite a few angle. on this story we have been pointed out some pretty fishy facts about france unfoldment in the venezuelan conflict until now and we have to thank the commenters of our youtube page for bringing it to our attention so let's look at why branson is suddenly is so interested in venice way first richard branson owns just about four hundred companies many of which do business in south america majoris ousting could open some big capitalist doors for branson is companies second aside from chile and mexico virgin mobile latin america has a division in colombia in fact virgin service and colombia is one of the largest virgin mobile clients in all of latin america and has a very high rate of mobile phone usage it's expected that the vainest wayland market could be even larger third branson's fifteen percent of the new virgin mobile company which would move into this area and the profits pretty sizable for

him alone however the fourth but i think most important thing to realize about richard branson is that he founded in helps run virgin atlantic airways what do they do they fly planes all around the world would have planes need gasoline in fact most airlines will tell you that rising fuel costs are what eat up most of their potential profits coincidentally do you know what heavy crude oil is used for making jet fuel and you know a veteran has a lot of you're right heavy crude oil in addition version atlantic and branson recently teamed up with a company called land's attack to create clean jets sealed by repurposing factory ways gases to make ethanol something that could happen in various ways so hock watchers is the great philanthropist richard branson really trying to help the people of venezuela or is this about a big new market to test another in his endless stream of capitalist endeavors to save the world no matter what he won't be the first in line to take advantage of

the chaos. that is going to bring. don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook you tube and twitter they might show up here share our poll shows at our t.v. dot com coming up we present the second half of our all star in-depth battle on the politics impact important a black history month so stay tuned for watching the hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race on all sides very dramatic to follow only mostly exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit

down and talk. join me every day on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to us on the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich with six percent world market thirty percent some with one hundred to five hundred three per second per second and this one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars. mark but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember

one one business show you know bored to miss this one and only. one of the great leaders of not only the civil rights movement but the labor movement as well a philip randolph once said quote freedom is never a given that it is won but just how is freedom won in today's world of fast moving social media instant celebrity a multimillion dollar to a ship and is that freedom at all that is the question plaguing many civil rights activists as black art and creativity once again dominates the american mainstream

media despite the fact that all across the great american nation black lives still no matter we tackle this question in more today as we present the second half of our all star panel is watching the hawks looks of black history month with now freeman the writer and activist for black alliance for peace lady dane figaro a d.d. the black trans writer artist and activist and author and curator miguel c. clarke take a listen. in the love this love that you're saying for black media translate into actual love for black people actually from black communities does that translate on the box office and people go back where there was great. well you know we're going. back to. the theater art and i can tell you people come to the theater sometimes and they come and then watch a show and they cry and they say oh i'm watching the color purple and almost feel

it was so strong not understanding that the reason why i think ali was in the predicament that she was in was because the white people and that right now and there are women who are secretly right now and that if we choose to divest from white supremacy we can actually have everyone live a better life so we go there we cry we have our feelings and then we leave the theater and you don't even think about the black family that lives down the street from you that's being harassed by the police just for being black so no no i leave and go back to the conversation before about the bottom line to be impressive we have been hugely influential black people have been influential in kosher since forever in people look at us to see dollar signs he was talking about . and all these different cultural things that relate to our culture our perspective is it's very profitable so you know the powers that be those who you know back. back back creatives in different ways they see dollar

signs i do think it will be interesting to continue to see what it looks like for us to give ourselves our own coast outside of you know white down the media structures in award shows and everything else like what it looks like for us to cosign our so it's not wait for you know it's additionally white down the organization to say like oh now it's legit now you get an award because what we've learned is that there is traditional white media organizations whether it's movie studios that record labels what we also know as a woman i realize they're not there for women either they're for usually met. man who are sort of part of that power structure and so it's a lot we got a whole lot out from under that before it's it's actually opened and takes that structure away so they can't stand on that they can't do that without having

someone take it away you know. what i mean i think. hit the nail on the head when you first mention the c word capitalism i mean because these are these are campus institutions and we're not going to i mean the the the society we live in in the world is dominated by the three you know press of forces pizza in capitalism and white supremacy and as long as these things these are dictating the terms of so we're not really just struggling to get influence in the end your city or even create our own we're struggling to abolish these three things and that's the only way we're actually going to do the others and i don't see any other any other way to actually be able to tell our own story and have stories that are transformative and uplifting in and challenge institutions and what not if we don't do it and in a struggle that resist capitalism white supremacy and patriarchy and builds the alternative at the same time. you know i got to say that i agree with you

completely on that and are we seeing are. wrapping up soon but are we seeing you know the kind of when you see success in the black community right now off of capitalism things like that are you know are we seeing that put brought back into the community more now than we have in the past well you know it where that six as you mentioned cosign and things like that of like that are we seeing that success and these people coming back to the community saying ok i want to raise up the rest of the community not just you know make a lot of money myself whether it be through film or television movies or anything like that you are we seeing that reinvestment all. always any. and i that i mean i would have to say not i mean these things are because. unless it's challenging the three things you mentioned then is it progress or. is it giving back if you're if you're not doing so then it's challenging these pillars then how can you be saying you've given back you know some things or even talked about as

being productions or rick's preston's of african or black culture and they're not they're not mean black panthers in prison but typically example stanley and all they've created that you know and then white i mean they're black writers and i made all the money and then have those consume media is a very important interesting pervaiz a powerful tool black people walking around praising it proud of it and acting like all the millions of dollars billions of millions of dollars we made. if later american football white america sits back and they really do believe sometimes that they like i'm thinking of the you know i'm part of the quarterback and i'm part of that you're not part of that you didn't get out you didn't run you didn't want to work and we weren't. there was that there was a time in the twenty's right when josephine baker made it we didn't make it because josephine baker report back into the community we talk about leave right mohamed

ali has famous clip of him being like we gotta protect the black woman and i'm like i don't care about making no money of people willing for you right and then contrast that conversation to the conversation that steve harvey had with mo'nique recently and i and which steve harvey literally said is that you have to abandon integrity for money and so we're we're at a place and the reason why right people have that nostalgic oh we've made it is because sometimes people just want to see themselves reflected and i think that that is absolutely ok and we need to hold celebrities and black billionaires and millionaires accountable for when they do not return to the community what we have we. i have helped them to. write like and that is just the truth also i mean we haven't really touched on this at this particular juncture but there is also when we talk about wife the permits the one thing that is that is linked to

white supremacy is transphobia and homophobia pose was just snow and then doubly sleepy awards so we do have our own awards and then we still an act of violence on our own right like so i mean child. like you look at them as i mean feminism did not. really have every single group we always planned that way to keep somebody out and i'm hoping our generation is and as we learn piece by piece like at least we have more information now and i think with that information we can sort of break those barriers because we know better and we spot it and we're calling it out war and that is it's like no matter what there's always. somebody tries to take away the power from someone else and at the end of the day that's just that's not right and it's people like people everybody has to stand up and just say something and do something and be better. with this question i want to ask each of you is is one word in your mind to do. you know one

word that you would inspire that's inspirational that you won't people to kind of walk away from. there was one word or one phrase so what exactly do they do you mean something inspirational that could really drive forward you know equality and push through seas and things like that in your mind the liberation liberation of me . because i. was you know you do you took some good when you said race and also i was thinking of something else to say and terms of our cultural and not just the world is these things in the historical examples you gave there was a time when the liberation struggle what we did was tied to you know what people did in terms of performance in performing arts and different things and just the the segregation of those things now is why we're seeing a difference you know and so yeah liberation and the plan of making sure those

things are part of whatever we do liberation support liberation of i would also say i think community is huge knowing that we can do so many things amongst ourselves by continuing to talk to each other and to stay involved support each other in different ways and like to account for whatever our individual areas of weakness might be. a lot of definitely think all three of you for coming on with absolutely fantastic i hope i hope to continue this conversation before we have all three of you back either together individually or whatever way we care thank you so much thanks so much you crowd the talk of the. west virginia born mathematician catherine johnson is personally responsible for excess in the world of space exploration more than many who are much more broadly revered johnson who was portrayed in the film had been figures calculated the mabs needed to find safe orbital orbital or to orbit of trajectory for the first moon landing crude space
