americans represented by the council on american islamic relations who filed a lawsuit charging that their inclusion on the watch list violated their rights to due process in its 32 page ruling federal judge anthony trying to wrote that the court concludes that the risk of erroneous deprivation of plaintiff's travel related and reputational liberty interest is high and the currently existing procedural safeguards are not sufficient to address that risk. so today in the 18 year shadow of 911 let's examine this the stork decision as well as other important 911 court cases as we start watching the whole it's. pretty. good but. it's what. they like you know that i got. was that we. would. be.
7:31 am
welcome we're going to watching the hawks i am tyrrel bitter and. so obviously the watch list as you mentioned a clue it's about 1200000 people just to kind of get the scope of how big it was and among those it said there's about 4600 u.s. citizens or green card holders on the list well that's an incredible number think about that many people and when you you know would you think about how many people these 4600 the ones who brought this last woman fighting to be heard in court. when you look at like how the watch list is shared and what these people go through according to a judge trying to one of person is placed on the watch list that information and then when they said like oh this person may be a terrorist it shared more than $18000.00 state local county city university college tribal and federal law enforcement agencies not to mention the additional
7:32 am
$533.00 private entities and foreign governments that shared at the end of the day these people are actually charged with a crime they're not actually a lot of times. you know the person doesn't even they're not told that they're on the list and. they're not even you know. they don't even have any links to criminal activity whatsoever right i mean we don't know i mean obviously you've seen everything from babies to you know people handicapped people who or people who don't fly at all being put on the lists and obviously it's one of those things that as an internal government list is one thing but when the fact that it's shared quite a bit and once it's that your name is on there it goes on for a really long time. and the bad things about that happen it's a reactionary things that happen that happened in the shadow of 911 that at some point you have to take back but you just there's no no one no one has the gumption
7:33 am
. no matter what to go back and undo what bush and obama and. everybody did not even trump for all of this is pandering about how he was going to come in and change all of these things and take back all this stuff that have been. you know we haven't really seen anything different and i don't i don't know that we're not going to see that from anybody no i mean guantanamo still open that's very true there's a good point the interest on shibley was a plaintiff with the lawsuit would lead to you know they did have this one glimmer of hope kind of come home the pipeline. that attorney you're caring for and he actually told the press i have literally never been so happy to was the seniors i and millions of american citizens like me have been treated like 2nd class citizens by the government yesterday the court vindicated us. blood use the fact that like it's gone through the president the president and europe are a year and still it took 18 years later just to do something that we all kind of
7:34 am
knew was unconstitutional the fact that it took 18 years is absolutely ridiculous we haven't a mentor and that's the thing also is you know that's one part of this sort of long 2 decade long process. for a lot of people when it comes to 911 the other flipside to that is that while these people are being thrown on a list and criminalized just for existing or having the wrong being having grown up in the wrong neighborhood at some points or just having a name similar to someone who has committed a crime. the trial i think a lot of survivors of 911 and family members who lost people are angry because right now in 2019 and they're still doing pretrial motions for the trial you know. and the 4 other men accused of masterminding the entire 911 conspiracy these are the guys that did it we know and he's been
7:35 am
sitting in jail for a really long time can't justice as it's called. the which we all the rest of us call guantanamo bay his court date isn't for a separate january 11th 2021. and part of that the new york times doesn't even know it's still unclear if the trial even go on because a judge has yet to rule on whether crucial f.b.i. agents descriptions of the defendant's confessions are admissible because the defendant's collates shaikh mohammad and his plotters alleged plotters were tortured and cia operations so you can't really is it even like doable is it whatever i mean doesn't matter i don't i don't think anybody who's involved in these 2 isn't. to me they're just dragging it out hoping for people to die so they don't have to actually do anything by the book i think that's where the torture as
7:36 am
i think the greatest orator is leaving most people with no due process is a terribly undemocratic thing it is even a good weather the weather good that we have like big scoop these people up with black slaves guilty or not we have to hold true to our principles of what we believe justice is and give everybody no matter how we what we think they may be everyone deserves a fair trial because skip that and the fact that it's taken us 20 years it's going to take us 20 years before these people see a trial that's borders to be absolutely borders and. we now present the conclusion of r.t. america correspondent massages 3 of 3 part investigation into the state of california water infrastructure in this segment natasha travels to california central valley where she discovered that many of the farm workers who grow the produce that california is famous for can't even drink from the water of the faucets in their own home here's her report. a good portion of the nation's produce
7:37 am
nuts and dairy products originate here in california central valley so it begs the question as to why more than half of the family water systems are located right here. i'll carolina garcia has lived in tombstone california for the past 10 years she is home like the others in tombstone rely on domestic wells after her straight up she couldn't use the tap water since this contaminated recent water test revealed levels of nitrate and other harmful toxins and all chemicals measured being above the marksmen contaminant level well some residents are now receiving water deliveries from the government tombstone is not alone in this fight for clean water this is a state white issue here at stone corral elementary school century old pipes are contaminating the tap water with soil and bacteria this illam interests cool houses children who are still. developing for much of the day whether through sprinklers or other means they are heavily exposed to this contaminated water these conditions
7:38 am
resemble a developing world not the richest state in the nation according to the california state water resources control board more than $300.00 public water systems in california serve and safe drinking water more than half of those systems are in the san joaquin valley. just off state route $99.00 you can see farmland is the heart of the valley producing much of the nation's food close to 90 percent of the globe's aman's are harvested in the central valley alone it's also famous for producing more citrus and florida more dairy than wisconsin as well as grapes walnuts pistachios prunes peaches and cattle it's very likely that every single day every american is eating something that originates within a 50 mile radius of where i stand right now ryan jacobson a 4th generation farmer says clean water for all residents in the area is paramount for their industry you guys struggle with the amount of water that you need to use for the farms and then some people don't even have clean drinking water that's absolutely deceptive old agriculture has been at the table trying to solve those
7:39 am
issues it's very very critically important for us because these are people that are typically a part of our industry a critical component of both working in the fields as well as just folks that are you know dependent upon the local economy there and agriculture and animal farmers want to make a difference jacobson says that politics can interfere with water management in finding an actual solution recently governor gavin newsom has proposed implementing a $140000000.00 tax the way he sees it that money could pay for the needed water infrastructure in rural areas but the idea is receiving a ton of backlash in the already heavily taxed state city talk with the association of california water agencies says we think it doesn't make sense to tax a resource that is essential jacobson says it's vital for farmers to find a new source of water as it stands right now some farmers have no choice but to over pump. groundwater according to a study published in nature communications overpumping can lead to arsenic concentrations in the water with less groundwater some of those pollutants actually
7:40 am
are obviously stronger because there's less water to dilute it whether it's old pipes overpumping ground water or chemical fertilisers nitrate and other contaminants have serious consequences several studies have linked an increased risk of death to nitrate high levels are also linked to an elevated risk of cancer and adults and while the central valley has some of the most of these to cater to an innovative technology to serve water farmers say they're still struggling to keep things afloat jacobson says the vast increase in population alone is straining the system this was all built for state a population of about 20000000 californians we are now to 40000000 californians and while governor gavin newsom hopes taxing california residents will help curb their water usage farmers are looking for solutions elsewhere but they know the future of their farms depends on clean flowing water only for the health of their farms but for the community as well in fresno natasha suites r.t. . all ready to go broke or quarters don't forget to let us know what you think of
7:41 am
the topics we've covered over social media be sure to check out the watch of the hawks podcast which is available on spotify apple music and everywhere you will see the podcast coming up at rome's advocate and political consultant laurie riley topic joins us to discuss the fallout in u.s. foreign policy future of the wake of the fire and national security advisor to hold a lot of this is they too. wanted. to mention the 1920 s. you know there were no laws really on wall street and the abuses were huge and the mark did one by then people began to look at the stock market as the proxy for the economy. people are getting wealthy because their stocks are going up and they did they quit their jobs to just become speculators and so this is what happened now
7:42 am
people are saying look the economy the real economy is terrible no jobs they've been shipped overseas and i'm nothing less from day trading and the market goes up therefore i'm being productive but it's the beast. is this is a stick from a water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad was there the litter bugs are trying this way industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. that seems. special projects funding. on the disease. but for now the mountains of moist only grow higher.
7:43 am
when we're talking about sustainable growth this is the broken system that they were the pundits not only. the number of tourists the sustainability itself in the world war which is the mounting bonus between the romans and war between culture and. conservation of nature and. this is a war although this is. on september 10th 12 10 pm eastern time u.s. national security adviser john bolton walked out of the white house got on this
7:44 am
phone and tweeted i offered to resign last night and president trump said let's talk about it tomorrow is that tweet hit people speeds another one to the spotlight it seems at 11 58 am eastern standard time president drum tweeted i informed john bolton last night that his services were no longer needed at the white house i disagreed strongly with many of the suggestions as it others in the administration and therefore i asked john for his resignation which was given to me this morning i think john very much for his service i will be naming a new national security advisor next week since then trump has said that bolton strategies set back the administration's foreign policy objectives the ball was not well liked among sis peers and even the bolton's hawkishness had soured north korea's kim jong un un peace talks with the us here's how 2 of bolton's peers secretary of state my pompei on secretary of state this in treasury's see munchen
7:45 am
responded to questions regarding the unceremonious ousting. but i don't talk about the workings of how this all goes we we all get work and the thing is there were many times investor vote that i disagreed that's to be sure but that's true for well that's lots of people who with whom i interact with that is the one thing i would just say follow up exam president's been very clear on this the president's view of the iraq war and ambassador bolton is very different the president's made my service. much could be said about the love of interventionist wars something that has always run counter to the platform trump ran on in the last election and with another election creeping up over the horizon and at least 2 democratic party candidates pulling ahead of him in a general is trump starting to worry that he's strayed too far from the isolationist noninterventionist platform the god of the electorate to on us now. to discuss this and more is conservative commentator and hill contributor henri reilly topping thanks for joining us. thanks for having me rory i think one has to wonder
7:46 am
why a drum ever higher bowl you know matters foreign policy i think some would say allies more with hillary clinton than the current republican party is you know more noninterventionist slightly isolationist approach the tucker carlson put it this way actually last night saying rather than justify or even explain his own record bolton brags that he spent a lot of time on the job if you are wondering why so many progressives are mourning both inspiring and i told him so fundamentally was a man of the left why do you think trump won against his own policy platform and firebolt in the 1st place. well i think when it comes to why trump does a lot of things there are lots of questions to be had trump said publicly that he hired bolton because he got along with him and even though the to go along i think that that shouldn't be the only job criteria so trump kind of he loves doing things
7:47 am
that are kind of outside the box and kind of controversial so i think in addition to the fact that they got along he kind of wanted to shock people when he had his last national security adviser mcmaster in place mcmaster put together very detailed briefings and lots of bullet points on policy and trump wasn't really interested in that i think he wanted to interact with somebody who even though maybe necessarily didn't agree with him was willing to have more of a sit down face to face conversation than trump says all the time that he decides things from the gut i think he maybe got a similar vibe from bolton and you know to the best of my knowledge i don't think that there was a whole lot of rhyme or reason to it beyond those things so i'm sort of shocked that that bolton lasted as long as he did considering and also one of his like he there is the one thing that he's very it seems very progress. foreign policy to be very intervention go here go here it seems accounted to it and the american people have said that according to
7:48 am
a july poll the harvard capped harris poll found that 55 percent of voters said they disapproved of the way the u.s. was handling relations with iran that would have obviously been with bolton at the helm of that we know that his main goal in coming in was getting rid of the iran deal. how do you think that breakdown of the rangel that bolton's involvement go over with conservatives and how will that affect the president's ability to in acts whatever foreign policy goals he may have even though i find it hard to kind of mail those down what they are but how does he do that. well you know bolton is said to have loved the iran deal so much that he framed the executive order and hung it out in his office so i think for bolton specifically that was an objective of his with regards to the president i was a think you're right sometimes it's hard to nail down what exactly his foreign policy goals are specifically they think the overarching theme that we see whether
7:49 am
it's iran north korea the taliban the trump really prides himself on his ability to negotiate deals he plugs his art of the deal all the time and he kind of use in self is this great negotiator and part of what frustrated him about bolton was that some of his stances led some leaders of other countries to walk away from the negotiating table so when he compared north korea to libya and said that we were going to use that daffy strategy kim jong un and said that's a deal breaker for me i'm not going to negotiate with you anymore and trump said in response to that that bolton should have been smarter than to say that out loud even if that's truly what he thought and with regard to iran iranian regime has applauded the fact that bolton is no longer in his place but they've also said that this doesn't necessarily bring them back to the negotiating table so try. the overall goal is to be the great negotiator in chief i think he has to articulate a few more specifics that encourage different regimes to come back to the table and
7:50 am
meet with him after the damage that bolton has caused and i think and i think if he hopes of getting re-elected he's going to do that as well because i think a lot of people with the hiring of bolton has mentioned you know the kind of we're like oh is he going into that interventionist thing that he kind of railed on hillary for the last election and another thing interesting about bolton is look better and. talk to with not to fire on their own feelings about the iraq war office lee of which bolton was a major architect how much of an impact do you think you know as they've said had on his decision to oust bolton i mean did it really kind of come back to this baggage of bolton's history of being the guy who helped with the right you know helped orchestrate iraq all the way up to now the guy who wants us to go in everywhere military 1st. well bolton's baggage particularly with regard to the iraq war i mean that was in the secret so for trump and others within his administration they knew that and to
7:51 am
a certain extent they knew what they were getting into so this kind of goes back to the earlier point we were making of what was he thinking in terms of bringing someone like that in you know today is september 11th that is the 18th anniversary of this conflict and like you just said that or a lot of veterans who were a part of these conflicts that certainly do not have fallen feelings for being a part of it so a stroke looks forward to reelection one of the things that he's talked about is the fact that we need to formally bring an end to our conflict in afghanistan and bolton was not in favor of that with one of the many things that they disagreed about that brought this relationship to its downfall so i think that these are things that trump is definitely thinking about i mean he talks very frequently about his desire to be reelected but i think a lot of people in the foreign policy arena would like to see perhaps a more thoughtful and careful consideration of one articulating what our strategies
7:52 am
are beyond just being a great negotiator and to bringing somebody into this position this is going to be his 4th national security adviser in as many years who perhaps can lead him in the right direction and in a way that trump can follow again we talked about mcmaster a few minutes ago in the fact that trump did not like his kind of detailed style so who can get through to the president in a way that he wants to have these meetings and have these negotiations but also keep him from going astray and perhaps making unwise decisions for the country. would i mean one of the things i think that's interesting about this is something that people have bringing up munch and brought it up. so to. so you know. lindsey graham they brought up this idea that the president has the right to pick who he wants to work with and he has a right did they expect to get some sort of pushback do you think i mean i know
7:53 am
that. foreign policy is very hillary clinton secretary of state something many a lot of progressive like myself don't care for but do you really think that there is a you know is there. is there something where they thought there was going to be more pushback and then there is already and is anybody really on the left all that excited about being gone aside from just he makes them look bad puts out their foreign policy. well i think you you brought up a couple of important things there with your 1st point about the president has the right to surround himself with those he chooses you know that's true and that's true of any president that's not just something that's unique to trump but i think most presidents have the right to also have somebody who's not going to make them look stupid it's kind of a push pull if you want somebody who generally agrees with your point of view in your policy but also is going to let you know when you've gone too far or perhaps
7:54 am
gone in a bad direction and that's one of the challenges that i think we've seen with a lot of people in the trumpet ministration is he really wants loyalty and values loyalty i think perhaps above policy couldn't agree with. tom is always a pleasure having you on thank you so much for coming. thank you. as we discussed earlier wednesday september the 11th marks the 18 year anniversary of the tragic attacks of 911 our team workers try to chavez visit at the memorial at ground 0 in new york city and spoke with those who are paying tribute to the lives lost. it's been 18 years since the terror attacks of 911 happened just right here in this area the attack means nearly 3000 lives in the worst act of terror in u.s. history and although time has will decide on many say that today is a day that will never be forgotten. thank god.
7:55 am
and now the 911 memorial is not only honoring the lives lost from that her and a stay but also those affected by 911 related illnesses with this pathway called the 911 memorial glade the glazers line includes a path flanked with the 6 huge sloping stone structures made of granite slabs inlaid with steel recovered from the fallen trade center towers they way between $13.18 tons built to symbolize strength and determination to read versity and although they were installed in spring this is the 1st year they will be present on the anniversary of $911.00 per. and we spoke to some of the survivors and also the former new york governor george pataki to hear what they have to say about the anniversary and the new memorial my read and initial reaction to the glade was thank heaven we needed something
7:56 am
everybody remembers the f.d.a. and why the n.y.p.d. the port authority police department when they think about 911 1st responders but there were thousands of people like me who were with other rescue and relief organizations who were down here who served who ran in the dust cloud trying to get away and we we are suffering too when. here we are sick we are dying and for them to finally remember us and have us not be the invisible responders of 911 anymore is amazing 1st time when i come back regardless of how many times i've been here i just get this terrible feeling because i think of my friends and think of the thousands who died in the horror that we went through that day and for weeks thereafter but then i look around and i see what we the small morning it was absolutely spectacular it's an appropriate tribute to the museum tells the stories of the individuals and then we have buildings rising beyond where the towers stood
7:57 am
so i always put always have those same 2 emotions one of sadness and anger because of what happened but then the sense of pride that had new yorkers respond and how we've been able to rebuild it a way that source to new heights there is just so much raw emotion here on the ground after $911.00 memorial and we will have all of that and more in my story later tonight reporting from the $911.00 memorial trying to chavez are taking. a lot of our show over today remember everyone in this world we are not told we're loved enough so i tell you all i love you i am a robot and i'm tough a lot of people are watching those hawks have a great day and. well you know the fires they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're into small boats next to the harbor when she needs to be.
7:58 am
on. the little self to big fish already 90 percent of the guard on any loan because they're. conscious 15. coupes $75.00 tons try to do it several times a day with a big fleet oh you get an idea. we have to understand we can all still use to just. be with miss the deal going to the arms. i'm doing this because i want the future world to future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have.
7:59 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy loon from day shouldn't let it be an arms race often spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of time time to sit down and talk. today there are good dentists and bad at it it's the bad news in the end then the united states deems to be the good those who work in syria the cia and the us military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up right wing military windows funding an army of death squads there's no posts anymore because there's always a small pickup truck really could this. profit. an
