8:32 am

8:33 am
from the prime time partisan hackery passed off as informative debate on the mainstream cable news media to the ivory tower soapbox lectures sold as campaign speeches of the current state of political exchange in the united states today as well as sad a very sad state of affairs many of us look around the world today and wonder how how we can begin to change things if we can't even have a healthy conversation about the myriad of problems we currently face all my friends it's time to change that poor state of political discussion so today hawk watches will bring you a gallery of guests and topics to bring you a better perception and perspective. because it's time to put that healthy exchange of ideas and ideology before all the click bait ranting and raving to put dialogue over debate and start watching the hawks. to. get the. real thing it's like.
8:34 am
to sit. like you i got. the. world and i'm going to watching the hawks. around like i said today we're going to put dialogue over debaters tab of them myself bring you 2 distinct and informative discussions featuring topics and guess unique to our political viewpoints and personalities starting with a full dose of my very own perception and perspectives. from afghanistan to iraq to syria to africa currently the united states military is fighting all over the world and now the trump administration is rattling its saber
8:35 am
over iran and venezuela many fear that 2 more u.s. military adventures may just be on the horizon you see since the end of world war 2 the america say the savior mentality has been used by u.s. politicians and political leaders to justify almost every major war the united states has fought we are bringing freedom to blank saving acts from brutal regime why all of these justifications come from what many call america's savior complex and now the savior complex is found its way out of u.s. foreign policy and even trickling down into local poll policing as well here in washington d.c. is as a new proposition because they are now proposing a new proposition that would allow citizens to write parking tickets on each other so today i want to examine america's savior complex and how it's now trickle down into our daily lives with investigative journalist ben swan the host of r.t. america the news with rick sanchez the man himself rick sanchez thank you both for
8:36 am
coming on and joining me today i want to start this this conversation this debate with the 1st and foremost question do you believe that the united states has a savior complex and is it justified but in swan let's start with you. so yes and no right. to give you an not very definitive answer so yes we absolutely have a savior complex i think as a nation that we look around the world and that the majority of the people in this country think that we are an exceptional country and i believe we're an exceptional country too but we're not exceptional because somehow our d.n.a. or who we are is better than other people around the world but simply because of the fact that we have been given opportunities in this country that. people in other nations have not had the problem is the savior complex comes into play when you begin to believe that you must now force jeffersonian type democracy around the world on the people who haven't even asked for it because if only they could be as you are than they would be better having said that i also believe that while the
8:37 am
majority of the population believes that i do not believe that our leaders have a savior complex i think that they take advantage of that savior complex to push through the things they want to do to overthrow governments around the world not because they actually believe it's good for the people but because they believe it's what they want and they can easily use that line to manipulate the american people rick do you believe that this group ben do you believe that we have this kind of savior complex like he was describing on his wish we did oh my god wouldn't it be wonderful if we actually went around the world saving feigns or people that's the absolute antithesis of what we do around the world there may have been actually of time maybe somewhere around the 1930 s. and 1940 s. possibly into the 1950 s. where the united states actually believed that it needed to go around and try and help the world i think the intentions even in places like vietnam were noble
8:38 am
keyword intentions not to resolve to obviously but in this day and age knowing what we've done over the last 50 years to use the word savior by the way that has a historic and biblical reference as in our you know jesus christ saving hell no we've been going around doing the opposite of saving the reason we go places is because we like something they have or we want to be able to extract some kind of other resource from that country most of all we do it for and i hate to say it what incentive economic can nomics one man that i think i think we all 3 of us can agree that that is what's going on behind the scenes but the problem is i don't think we're sold that you know they never use lie. these legitimate reason it like that you're saying you know the middle german reserve hey we're going to go over here to get oil we're going to go over here for it to help our buddy economically or we're going to go over there because the i.m.f. was you know we never actually say that publicly we say we have to go over to help you know free these people and bring freedom to these lands one of the dangers of
8:39 am
that type of mentality yeah but it's so and i don't know of bed i'm interested to hear what you have to say about this more often than not. you know you get which you put out what you're sold right and with all due respect to my. american citizenry of which we're all a part of this wonderful country right. if all you're told all the time is the reason you're doing something is because those people are really bad you know and fill in the blanks we know who the bad people are in the world and who the good people are in the world and it's done not for righteous reasons but for economic reasons and you're busy because you have a job or 2 now a days in america and you get home and you turn on fox news and that's essentially what you're going to be told that those people are really bad and we may need to actually go out there and kill them because if we don't kill them somehow they're going to do right to deprive us as ridiculous as sounds they hate our freedom
8:40 am
the most ridiculous notion i've ever heard in my life like somebody in some other countries as oh i'm so mad that an american today was able to go buy a donut you know i don't cares but so that is the problem it's it's the it's the boom the drumming and the drumbeat in the drumbeat of saying those people are bad sorry. no no no i totally agree i was going to say and i think that exactly what you're pointing out here this issue of they hate us for our freedoms this was an incredibly popular idea that was perpetrated by the bush administration in the build up to the iraq war all throughout the iraq war they kept saying this right that we the justification for the killing of millions of people in muslim countries the justification for 500000 ppi. people dead in iraq within the 1st couple of years was that because these people hate us for our freedoms they are really unworthy of freedom themselves 1st of all but secondly and this is what's important to the point you made about you know we never say hey we're going to go to iraq
8:41 am
because we want their oil we're going to go a cut cause regime change in venezuela because we want the oil in that country if we did say that though and i think this goes back to the idea of that savior mentality if we did say that as a country if our leaders said that there is a certain segment of the population that would applaud it they say absolutely we have the right to that because there is this idea within the concept of american exceptionalism the idea that americans are somehow by birthright more exceptional than people in other countries and that actually harkens back to the middle ages in the idea of the divine rights of kings to take whatever land they wanted and to pillage the people and and to defraud them because of the divine rights of kings we've actually even though we had a revolution to escape that have actually over the last 200 plus years reverted back to the idea that we have some kind of divine right that isn't there they're alive that's actually what ben just described as the colonialism or post colonialism that we're living in today and some of these plans were actually drawn
8:42 am
up at a time when we started to see you know the end of the dutch empire the english empire the over the british empire and all of these former european empires the united states made a conscious decision oh my goodness what are we going to do how are we going to fill that void all look we just became as a result of world war 2 the most powerful country on earth let's go to these places now and step in where the brits what the brits have left behind and so it was a conscious decision how it ended up being sold to the american people is maybe the saddest part of this that it did because here's where we all can agree. what makes this great and i think ben alluded to this is the beginning and my god this is so important especially for me i'm a refugee and i wasn't born in this country i came to this country because there was a really bad problem in this country opened its arms up to me and my family and as a result i have lived lived a great life so i do not take american freedoms for granted i love this country as much or maybe more than anybody else out there because of the situation that i was
8:43 am
raised in but what makes america great are its ideas what makes it great are its principles you know what makes a great america great are its ethics and its inclusion these are the things that make us a great country and these are not the things that we are exporting anymore well let me let me before we run on it i also want to ask you guys this speaking of you know the things that we're doing in here stateside and what i see is kind of a little bit of that savior complex trickling down into our day to day lives right now in washington d.c. there's a proposal on the table to allow citizens to essentially you know take a little bit of training and then be able to write tickets on other citizens if their car is left out and things like that now that bothers me but i really want to hear what you guys have to feel about this i'll start with you but what do you feel about this idea of police letting citizens essentially write parking tickets to each other and where does that go. no my neighbor. it's disgusting right is
8:44 am
absolutely disgusting for a couple of reasons and and i think the biggest reason for it is because we have completely lost sight in this country over the last 50 years of what policing and communities is supposed to represent it is not supposed to be a taxation force moving through the community and then essentially taking from everyone they can every last dollar that we can squeeze out of them this new method says hey what if we don't even have to pay the cops to do it which is training citizens to do it and you can always find people who are willing to do this stuff and will well it's for the greater good right and this goes back again to this idea that rick was talking about rick i appreciate so much what you said about your story in coming here and and why this country is so great so been so great for so many tens of millions of people hundreds of millions of people in that very same way but i think what's so important here is that the again those ideals that made america great was this idea of freedom and independence right and the ability to get a leg up and we now have communities in this country where people can't get a leg up because there they are constantly being extracted from every single dollar
8:45 am
possible by municipalities who constantly think up new and creative and technological ways to take more from them we had a revolution over something called taxation without representation that's exactly what this is more taxation with no representation of them will go about 30 way on the other hand you've got to be careful with privacy and this is just another form of privatizing something that should not be privatizing i'm all for open markets i believe that we should privatized some things but if the incentive in the privatization is to take away justice that it doesn't work for example don't privatized the prisons because then you're giving people money to put more people in jail by god why would you want to do that you don't privatized police forces because then you're allowing your neighborhood to decide who's a good guy and a bad guy certain things belong with the government thank you very much ben swan rick sanchez thank you so much for coming on today and sharing some ideas rather than just the constant chatter chatter we always hear it up. and was smarter by the way. as never would have ever thought of bread clock watcher don't forget the
8:46 am
weather because the topics we've covered a base for years to the liturgy are full so that our team. coming up our old tablet the wallet opens up the gallery for discussion with movie reviews host got to know you are to america correspondent so i love the feel and the grief i don't want to miss this the states to watch it with all. those. well known case kind of what showed it was stolen in 69 in. very important painting and somebody from the mafia just said a few years ago dead today has stolen and stored it in the hall. and when they
8:47 am
wanted to think it was called because tourists had eaten it. is donald trump's national security adviser john bolton a clear and present danger to america and the world is saber rattling in the middle east particularly against iran should concern us all we are forced to ask the fundamental question is bolton the primary architect of trumps policy. in the 19th century irish novelist margaret wolfe hunger fold wrote beauty is in the eye of the beholder the same holds true for the news one person's good news is another person's worst nightmare but as with art. the most profound moments in life happen when 2 people see something in completely different ways so hop watchers
8:48 am
let's recognize the beauty hold some truth and step into the gallery thanks. thanks. thanks 2 thanks. countries fertility rate represents the amount of births per woman and in the united states it's at a 2032 year low and declining pretty steadily each year and while many say it's the avocado toaster pets causing the decline the cost of having a baby is on par with most people's college debt the average total charges for care of births in 2018 were between 32051000 did you know that $700.00 women die from pregnancy related complications each year in the u.s. 3 in 5 pregnancy related deaths could be prevented and one of 3 pregnancy related
8:49 am
deaths occur one week to a year after delivery also this week guardians of the galaxy director and writer james gunn who was famously fired from the wildly successful franchise last year by disney after some unsavory online jokes of his resurfaced right in the eye of the me 2 storm in a surprise announcement last week gun was rehired by disney and one has to wonder how we learn to forgive those who have admitted their mistakes joining me now to discuss this and more is so scotty of news for you seems an artsy america correspondent sara modest ok and michelle thank you for joining me thanks or i'm sorry all of the other terms we can blame anything wrong or. bad if you're right or it's we need to have a real. honest with the right of another thing has been called wrong on this or. corrected i've gotten a bad rap now back to pregnant women pregnant women so 1st of all i think we need to. talk about why this rate is declining like whether or not it's good or bad or
8:50 am
one person's good news or not i think you really made the point that it's getting more expensive to have a child it's getting more expensive obviously to have hospital care to actually give birth so maybe we should look at why people have less money to do whatever it is whether it's giving birth or you know buying a home or things like that and that the think it's a really good point because most people most people in america are holding at least $30000.00 worth of debt not counting mortgages and most people can't get mortgages mones which are homeowner can get it and are $400.00 urgency student loan debt bubble is huge out there so many intertwining measure narcissus money anybody that asks having a child is priceless to have when once you have them it's not money that is the priority as i think it's the time we're in the past women sure had a lot of time you know you have women going into college and they're working longer they're not getting married at 23 years old and they're ending up at 4 years 40 years old or the like oh my gosh it's time for me to get married and can i even get a baby and i even get pregnant so i think that's the question for
8:51 am
a lot of it when it comes down to money most important my world i think it's time it takes 2 people to be able to function in today's society and even something on that i think women especially when they're getting older sometimes don't have obviously the same fertility that they once did and there's a struggle these days with women being able to be fertile or having to have procedures that cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars to become fertile these prophecies like in vitro or all of these things like surrogacy even forget about it it's thousands and thousands of dollars so i think that comes with like michelle was saying the salaries that women are earning especially at an older age and whether or not what we eat everything that we're around that makes a lot of women infertile and to add to scotty's point and agree with you as well the reason people don't have as much time i think is because american workers for the past 4 decades the amount of time they've spent working. has steadily increased but we haven't seen that same increase in the money they're getting back so the
8:52 am
reason that people have less time is because they're working more at least that's a big reason because we have more opportunities as women before we think about our mothers grandmothers they can only be teachers or they could be nurses now we can literally fly to the moon even though it's shrinking you can do whatever you want as a woman why women go ranking the moon is shrinking as a committee when i have to prove you work harder the salary isn't the same so there's still a decline there's still less pay for women who hold the same jobs as men so it's difficult for us to prove ourselves and not work as hard given again the amount of time that we have there's just not enough time in the day and the responsibility that comes down to because obviously right now it is still a very male based world and so as a woman who has a child you are still expected to be the mother and the primary caregiver at home yet still be a boss in the office place and it takes a lot of sacrifice across the board on it and i think all of that points were making is not to downplay the very real issue of you know the price of hospital
8:53 am
care the price of giving birth that's stuff that you know the fact that medical bills are high a still important too but there's also the bigger picture is not down that's the other thing in this because i do think we've seen a change in culture with men were more men are becoming active fathers are really more men are staying at home with the generalizing that more money is coming from but they're not as worried about like per turn a hair and that brings their 2nd subject today because i want to bring this up james gunn famously he wrote a bunch of tweets back in the day he was a community with a writer and he says some pretty off color things that are offensive to a lot of people he took the hit when he got fired from guardians of the galaxy is after he made them a $1000000000.00 and said look it's your right and i did it and now he's coming forward when i went to one of the things he said in this interview he said i don't blame anyone i feel and have felt bad for awhile about some of the ways i spoke publicly some of the jokes i made some of the targets of my humor just the unintentional consequences of not. being more compassionate and what i'm putting out there so i wonder it's you know when we look at this in this sort of post me me
8:54 am
2 world where there is the difference between the louis the harvey weinstein's and the james just don't quite get it and then you get it can we forgive those is there a path to redemption for the people who i mean in my view if you're a rapist you don't get redemption in my book but for the people who are just. maybe done things for you to speak yeah are we able to like sit there and say hey if you're willing to do this like how far do we have to go before we forgive people for being that kind of the one point i think the reason he was fired initially was probably for p.r. purposes i don't necessarily think they had like they were like oh we're like in my heart like we can't have this person on a payroll i think that the me to move it was huge in the media especially with celebrities let's not forget that like this whole movement has really been celebrity centric and kind of ignoring sexual assault in other places but i think they made that decision out of p.r. purposes and then once it died down they said oh it's ok to rehire him again i
8:55 am
don't think it was like oh no we we morally can't have this man on our payroll and that's why we're doing it it would just look good for the company and so just as a baseline i wanted to i think it was an outrage oh my god i'm outraged outraged by what he was awful for them to fire him but that's that's the fact her say we're finding a lot of these companies when they do fire and they get these great amazing packages live off of so i don't know you know profit maybe but to bring him back in but i think we are a time of forgiveness i hope that we live in a society of forgiveness and grace but there is that line i mean think about we just had tiger woods just won the presidential award for freedom love his golf game go out it came back and he won good for you but i remember those 10 years and what a very bad example he set for a lot of people whether you were talking about drug driving domestic violence go down your list and now he's at the white house receiving a presidential ward for freedom you know i believe in forgiveness and redemption. russian is i think there's a time for rehabilitation and like he said i don't blame anyone the fact that he
8:56 am
took full responsibility and ownership and said things that were out of line but that he really owned up to it and said you know i was in a very angry place in my life at the time i was i took it out on everybody around me and it wasn't until i realised and came to accept where i was and really those around me how i was treating people what i was saying things that could hurt other people and i think like scott he said it's a time of really trying to look back better ourselves because nobody's perfect we all need something to work on have things to work on and realizing that and acknowledging taking responsibility i think there's there are certain things of course within the line but are forgiven time will tell that's the biggest thing we can forgive once for what is it forgive me one of your phone when i was ashamed. to answer that there definitely is no future without forgiveness and i think there's something very toxic about this cancel culture that we now have where it's like someone says to did something wrong 10 years ago and like now we can never interact with them again i think that's very harmful we should always be in conversations
8:57 am
with people and i think there's something especially toxic about cancelling people who may be in a different time in their life when perhaps they were poor they did what they needed to do to get by they were in a neighborhood where there were weren't so woke were like weren't exposed to these liberal circles on maybe said something offensive to gay people to trans people i think we need to do the work exactly that so you example to educate those people in this situation though it seems as though what he's doing is another p.r. stunt it makes sense for him to come out with this like sob story i'm sorry but we're talking about a millionaire here you know we're not talking about someone who like didn't know what he was doing yes he should be forgiven for those tweets but i don't think this is the hill we should all die on for this millionaire who's fine with or without this next you know movie they wanted his creativity they wanted him they knew he was talented so i agree with michelle to a degree but i think it's also for disney it was well we need somebody to come back and do the work for us to see. his projects moving forward to a different tone than this project from the past to advocate
8:58 am
a center mission that he hasn't changed and would do you did you feel like there was hate in his earlier movies i've actually not familiar with well that's. ok because they were pretty woke he has a lot of frogs strong female characters and so i think that's what bothered everybody but i think you know we've done a very for important point love that we have this conversation today because we point out a lot of things one is about sort of learning and forgiveness and how do we do that because we are learning to forgive is hard right now i think for a lot of women and you know we'd rather see each other's throat especially in the me i would rather take everybody you know. what i mean of course that's what we would rather take the other person out and actually hear them out and that's the society we live in today and i'm hoping that we just are warded her learned so much and that was working mother doesn't matter what anyone else is doing as well made it out i don't believe it was i mean. it went from the mill wish we had more of an evaluator will go to town and. thank you so much scotty you know here's sarah much
8:59 am
