with veterans or anyone currently serving in the us military would be exempt from the taxes noted this new tax would serve as a reminder of the incredible sacrifice made by those who serve and their families but will the new tax on war put on the backs of us this is truly help bring us an end to the military industrial complex or our endless wars that we're fighting or is this yet another new revenue stream to keep lockheed martin raytheon and other merchants about from having to pay the freight on the wars they want us to fight let's find out as we start watching the hawks. get the. real deal with. the bottom. like you that i got.
12:31 pm
to take. welcome in watching our i robot and i'm. so a new tax on war. well i like it and also i will love how it breaks down and is that is that the very rich who never send their heads to war is it is it those billionaires and millionaires who never send their kids who are but are happy to chair one on. it was. really it's very specifically head and one specific area. the upper class not. the highest of highs of one person the way the debate those tax war tax plan breaks down the amounts this week is like the highest of highs or one percent to the moderately wealthy of like 200000 a year higher they pay a $1000.00 a year just a 1000 right now when you get in deeper and really break down these numbers. to
12:32 pm
look at $100.00 so they by about a 1000 people making 100200000 dollars 485 dollars 75200270 dollars 50 to 75001 $164.40 to $50000.00 to $9830.00 to $40000.00 a year 57 dollars 30000 under $25.00 now tab as we look at that you and i both know it's the poor who end up fighting the us wars so why like you said why are we putting this tax this is a ridiculous tax if passed because it is it's putting $25.00 means a lot more to someone making $30000.00 a year and under than a $1000.00 to someone making $200000.00 a year and over right which is why it's strange to me that you only only grade. these prices that you'll be paying up 220-0000 after that it's $50000.00 as if a $1000.00 means anything to someone making half a $1000000.00 it means very little and the truth be told. income tax rates
12:33 pm
because of the way that the new tax rolls came in for that wonderful. we all got such a great tax break. if you did call me because i don't know anybody who actually got money. even people who have a lot of money didn't get money from it so well the very rich get a tax break. when it comes to war thanks. supporting war and people and stuff then it's ok give them a break but when it comes down to it now beta is a great idea i think we may have figured out why that dog had such a concern. it might explain why and who has couldn't get a decent shot off of. i don't get it it's the weirdest thing and it sounds like something from the forty's you know the thing to me it does sound like something from the forty's which is the last time we actually declare war because we have to
12:34 pm
remember that his tax plan only goes into effect if congress in the us actually clears war zones so we did that. to june 5th 1942 in world war 2 when we have this really big area hungry. during the tail end of the great let's talk about the real cost that this is not going to share of the cost if we decide to go to war with iraq ok so in 2013 the federation of american scientists put together this estimate is a 3 month cost to the global economy that a potential war with iran could cause so as we look into probably going into war with the wrong somehow and bedo is a great idea to pay for it so the cost. 3 months cost to the global economy that means everybody that we're going to have to make up for isolation of blockade is going to cost $550000000000.00 comprehensive bombing campaign we're looking at a 1.7 trillion and a full scale invasion is $2.00 trillion that's just the cost of doing it
12:35 pm
that is and the cost of parts of the economy but it is not the cost to human lives it does not going to help the situation we're in and they'd still assuming that we're going to be in and out. really all over because all of the wars over the last oh i don't know 171819 years going oh yeah. well. he jean carroll is the longest running advice columnist ever and her new book what do we need men for a modest proposal she gives some advice to those who have fallen victim to sexual assault make a list her list is of a hideous men she has encountered throughout her life from the scummy girl scout camp instructor when she was about 12 to the president of the united states in the book she say quote donald trump assaulted me in a bergdorf goodman dressing room 23 years ago but he's not alone on the list of awful men in my life her friends at the time in the mid ninety's gave her differing
12:36 pm
advice like he raped you go to the police i'll go with you we'll go together inversely she was also told by a friend to tell no one forget it he has 200 lawyers he'll bury you. carol didn't go to the police but she didn't forget either and here she is this week trying to explain to a very uncomfortable c.n.n.'s anderson cooper what rape is. and this is not a question i would normally ask if you don't want to start to really understand but given the prior accusations which have all been of forms of assault or harassment. you're saying there was actual penetration. yes did you. which is put into a different category of any of these other any of the other act women who have come forward. i think that it that is that is the definition of rape
12:37 pm
one definition that's the definition. it's been almost 25 years since you jean carroll's rape in a bergdorf stressing room and the abuse of power and humiliation that was dumped on on monica lewinsky by the media see these 2 things happened at exactly the same time so hawk watchers why are the media and pundits still going out of their way to pretend the reapers something that happens in dark alleys not in say the launch or a department at a luxury department store or the oval office and when will we accept the cold hard truth that the press has colluded with presidents is the beginning of presidents in order to cover up and excuse their hideous behavior behind closed doors who these are those are 2 great questions and this this whole story to me is absolutely like one of those things that just gets on my nerves because as it was part of it was in
12:38 pm
cooper the. interview with a lot of them she's like you know bringing up like rape culture of life why you stumble through the day and they're splitting is there's a point where he's so he asked her about the president's response which is the time honored she is not my. which by the way is foul and disgusting you know that's your excuse or something about going well she's not 1st she's not my type. when to which of course she explains to anderson cooper this idea that it's not like i don't know why people think rape is this idea that it must have been this sexy in earlier in a dressing room she must to some out and you're like no that's not what it is you bring up such an interesting point when you talk about this is that the trump and clinton have all of this in common these 2 cases they do so as i said so at the same time while you know president trump is allegedly raping women in dressing rooms at the at bergdorf goodman you've got bill clinton keep in mind this happened
12:39 pm
about 95 $96.00 which is around the same time. bill clinton was exerting as power over a 22 year old intern. then he was president united states he got into obviously all the trouble he said but instead of the disgust we hear about. every time one of these things comes up the many many many many many legitimate accusers bill clinton back in 9596 and then into 98 when when all of the pietschmann proceedings were going on there was i mean people are falling over themselves to excuse it. and even today they still excuse it you know over you still see them treating bill like a bill like a blower and all that others are is an excuse for whatever whatever he has said you know i want to get to this interesting thing there's an exam was like in 1900 new york times opinion piece called why feminists support bill clinton for most i can gloria steinem said quote feminists will still have still have been right to resist
12:40 pm
pressure by the right wing in the news media to call for his resignation or impeachment for one thing if the president had behaved group comparable insensitivity toward environmentalist and at the same time remember their most crucial champion of bork against the anti environmental congress would they be expected to desert him i don't think so that is to be you know that's not that wasn't even the worst of it ok like that's the worst when you look back at that time in that time in history is very important and shaped a lot of how i feel about the media today and part of that has to do with one of the very 1st articles i ever read online in about 90 i guess what about 9798 in 1988 there was this article completely changed my view of washington politics the media everything it was a did he called i dated monica lewinsky you can see by this lovely tabloid cover and the author talks about his day with lewinsky and why he did it almost gloats about it in this way he says she may be guilty of poor judgment but she never asked
12:41 pm
for this that said let the. whoring begin in which he says i'm going to write this entire article making use of what happened to this girl even though it think it's awful awful and then he admits to be brutally honest i got with her because i figured that behind her initial aggressiveness lurked an easy perhaps winning bit of no frills hooka the writer of that page was none other then cnn's jake tapper j.t. boy and he hates it when it's brought up. because he's like i'm sorry top this is it repeats itself and we have done nothing to change that and you still see it happening today. as we go to break clock watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook you tube and twitter and while you're over checking us out be sure to check out our very 1st episode of watching the hocks the podcast which is available now on spotify apple music and everywhere you can listen to podcasts and don't forget the see our poll shows at our t.v.

12:43 pm
. is hard to take so from somebody if you know have someone replacing. we want to do this interview today and i want to use the market in that they take me. off the area. so i'm going to tell you stuff selling drugs if we'll hire somebody because the money in it back. then just me all the way in life it's almost been basically mccullers peaceful for us all or. do you guys know what's a good many security positions open house without. david jack me again. you see people get all their cars and i'll see you coming in the heart and this seems like they'll hurry up and run into the house like they don't want to they don't want to talk to your get your mail or anything like that.
12:44 pm
12:45 pm
thank you thank you thank you thank you over the weekend here in washington d.c. the metro transit police who cover the public transportation system got reports of juveniles threatening people with sticks what occurred next is happening all across the country whether cameras are there to document it or not this time someone was there and the video tells a very different story than that of the official police report by the time the metro police arrived they took a group of teens into custody which is one witness and black lives matter activists jones began filming it bystander then began to an attempt to deescalate the situation for the sake of the juveniles and the other people on the train platform that were reasonably upset by the manner in which the issue was handled the police as you can see who claimed in their report that the bystander had quote exhibited behavior consistent with preparing to fight the officer who are in the video as you can see he has one hand on the shoulder of one of the boys who is handcuffs the other hand saying please stop which is when the metro police officer approached him
12:46 pm
and deployed his taser among neither the bystander know the officer said to be injured during this altercation it speaks to a culture of fear and aggression clearly present as you can see in police interactions across the nation and it's that culture one that sees an adult man to . trying to protect the lives of children treated like an aggressor that is at the core of the debate surrounding police violence here to help us better understand the incident d.c. this weekend and the culture that allows it as black lives matter d.c. activist mickey greene thank you for joining us thank you for having me here this is the i'm not again another video i've seen video after video after video and in this one as tom was saying you can see the video is clearly trying to be escalate the situation at the start of the video. you know gets teased and kafirs troubles while we hear the need for deescalation we hear that over and over and over again what message does the police actions in this video send to citizens when we were
12:47 pm
told over and over again do everything we can to deescalate when you don't want situations to get heated i mean it's i think the all of the videos this video and particularly in the years of black lives matter activism has really revealed that police don't keep us safe right and you're seeing bystanders step up and actually trying to keep each other safe and this one in particular you see the police punish the innocent bystander for trying to protect children on the train i think that that's one of the things that i think is really important as we in the community when we see these things happening obviously myself and tyrol we have a much bigger privilege in doing we probably wouldn't have gotten tape if if i had walked up and said stop and my hand on them you probably would have gotten to is and that sort of brings us to the question is. what should concerned individuals
12:48 pm
who see questionable confrontations like we see in that video and private private citizens happening what are our rights and what can we do we all have a right and shouldn't matter that my scans wait to say this that's horrible that i can do things that you can't in the community but i think it's important that that people who look like me do stand up and know their rights and them and i think that is something that happens to black people something happens to brown people is happening to all of us were am so this what we've seen people do is record the police and the police may police are allowed to live there legally allowed to lie to you and so they will tell you that you cannot record them and they will tell you to back up and move farther away and i want to urge everyone to continue. recording the police i want to urge people to report right so you have a local a.c.l.u. you have a local black lives matter chapter you want to make sure that other people are knowing what's going on you saw a video multiple videos happening in arizona and california and the bystanders were
12:49 pm
getting people's names right so it's really important that folks are giving folks names describing what is happening because at the end of the day we have people power hold justice in the day police are often not held accountable for their actions and at some point people with privilege are going to have to start questioning why we continue to fund people that are not here to deescalate the movement to deescalate and that's their job that their purpose in our community are suppose a. bad situation i think that's i think that's what they sell to us right i think that's how they're able to have millions of dollars and billions of dollars of funding on the federal level in the local level but in the day we know that they constantly are protecting property right they're here to protect the status quo in both of those with the young people who are detained and for the young man. he there was no charges right right there was there was they were able to find in
12:50 pm
victim to a crime that they said that it been committed. what was that what i want people to understand this he was arrested initially for interfering with a police investigation a police investigation that was we got a call about 2 teens and sticks. they get to the thing they find a couple of stanchions i guess who had sticks but there's no victims nobody who made the complaint is there so they don't have a way of actually they have no witnesses they have no victims there is no case there is nothing there in the running to there's nothing to investigate so what is their what is their purpose in our society in this moment especially when you have things like you need if people are worried about where kids are and why they're hanging out and translations maybe we should have more funding for programs are great yeah maybe you could take some of the money the millions of dollars that we're putting in and in d.c. around the country in actually investing in community you know one of the things that we've been promised reforms over and over and over again you always get up on
12:51 pm
t.v. with the police chief in the marrow there's reforms reforms are coming in no we don't want this to happen again like we always hear that kind of same yes or i think about the most that i've seen physically of reforms we've seen is like ok we have reduced body cams to a lot of different departments across the across the country but we're still seeing videos we're seeing people point things on their body you know and all to more and things like you know we're still seeing the same situation with officer saying well i was in fear so i had to tase him i was in this sort of this one of the forms will truly make a difference beyond just the window dressing that we constantly hear about so i mean i think that one thing is we actually need to start divesting from police i am also really tired a lot of people are very tired of constantly seeing these videos and you know years and years of experience of police violence and i think that we need to start looking at where the money is we need to actually investing in things that will help communities. need to start decriminalizing a lot of we actually matter d.c.
12:52 pm
fought to decriminalize fare evasion in d.c. last year. but then you still have a police force that is trying to detain children. is basically you know somebody who decides to skip the fair go over to here or do you have to get you know is right so we need to stop criminalizing people who are poor we need to actually start learning what deescalation looks like in conflict resolution and start investing in those programs at a community led and we already know where we can get that money i think the body cams people just want to transparency where they thought maybe we could do this but we had a case we had cases of police arresting children throughout d.c. all year in capitol hill there were 3 boys who were arrested in they were held for about 3 hours and we actually fought to get the tapes released work blacklegs where we spent a lot of our time doing requests to try and get body cameras body camera footage that you would think would be open for the public and it's not they actually charge
12:53 pm
you for a lot and. we're going to reform but we're going to charge you really want to reform where you were freed. him for. another time we'll have to talk about you know police unions because i never had a lot of this question where all that money comes from and i think one of those faces of divesting from is in police unions because if they're going to bust everybody else's chance that at labor equality they should be able to have it either they should be out there higher standard. but before my time was so on wednesday when this was a black eye as matters organizing a mass call about this. incident that happened what is a mass call what isn't tail and how do we better protect black you know you really from these kinds of right i think that we need folks that it's great that people are sharing i need folks a cop on the phone i need us to get into a conversation. so you can know what's going on in d.c.
12:54 pm
and what you can do nationally there are what we're going to be doing is we're going to be talking about what's been happening all year around police and children we're going to be talking about actions so people can call in we're going to be asking for hearing in so just a mass call is just a way that we can finally get together and start planning for the actions of how we're going to protect youth in d.c. what are these i mean there's a lot of stuff like you said i think we need to remember the things in our community that aren't there maybe that we're a very in the past or that other communities have some of some people i know grew up with community centers and programs young y.m.c.a. after school but it seems to me that if you're in say or either a rural or in you know urban city environments those things just aren't there anymore is that right i mean because what we saw was a divestment from black communities and so right now in d.c. which is the highest into cation the religions for acacia in the country you're now
12:55 pm
seeing the mayor invest in programs outside of black communities right and so yeah we need grocery stores right we need we need to be able to legally grow our own food we need housing we're putting in for millions of dollars in repairs for public housing and these are things the communities that are the safest communes that you think of they don't have more police they have more resources they have more housing they have more food and so it seems like such an easy answer but actually when we're fighting this on the city council on the local level and we're fighting this for who runs for president it's actually really hard to get folks to invest in community resources that is 100 percent you spend your money in the right place and invest in those judgments thank you so much. green thank you so much for coming on and educating us today thank you so much of course yes thank you. living in the age of information is easy for us to believe that we've seen everything. but thankfully
12:56 pm
