death in 2020 the united states will spend over $730000000000.00 taxpayer dollars on its weapons of war thanks to the democrat and republican approved national defense authorization act 738000000000 to be exact. if that spiritual death hasn't happened yet we my friends are definitely knock knock knock at the door and that means we had better start watching the hawks if you want to know what's going on in the city streets you want to. hear so you can see see the rises rejoice state and see drone strikes graves displays systemic deceptions the late show which. brings up this. world we're going to watching the i robot turn joining me now to discuss the united states and sarah when it comes to the celebration of dr martin luther king jr and the fight for equality is not the premier co-ordinating member of the earth he's on

the coordinating committee for the black alliance for peace always a pleasure and of course social trains activist and musician kerry red berry thank you very much thank. you know i want to ask you both we celebrate dr king's life through through the meshal holiday honoring him but has the united states lived up to the legacy and you know what he what he was fighting for. think it ever has is never has i mean dr king was assassinated we have to remember that this is a victim of the united states coin tell pro counter-intelligence programs targeted by that and so never and that was precisely what we many was believe that's why is because he was talking about. materialism and. this is a materialism and militarism so he was anti capitalists and time paralyzed and they actually even the cointelpro papers talk about how it was him starting to make the

connect these dots that made him a threat they needed to be neutralized here and you know when you speak about the military. you know right now we look at the military budget is as over half of the american. overall budget and at the time when done see king was assassinated you know he was focusing on the lust in the the quest for war and in footprint all over the globe while we were neglecting americans here and of course black people poor people suffered the greatest and here today he wouldn't administration there looks like americans legacy the suffering is still happening i'm sitting here looking at spending $99000.00 appropriated per soldier and 800000 per poor person in this country so it's it's the same story just a different time that's an interesting combination a numbers $99000.00 per soldier $19000.00 per so that's that's

a major discrepancy but how does i think one of the things that runs have a lot to dr martin luther king's dream of peace and nonviolence is american exceptionalism you know explain a little bit of what that exceptionalism is and how it kind of crashes into the ideals of dr king and the civil rights movement was altered and everybody a part of it has fought for and is still fighting for so the idea that america is exceptional in some way has been what is primary the primary this kind of. caricature i think is the been primarily used to justify us adventures against the world domination of the world to police the world so the military budget that we're talking about is really talking about numbers but what that translates into in real activities is over 300 military bases around the world u.s. military bases around the world the periphery and all of these being coordinated

through what they have with. us command centers like afrikaans we talk about africa in the black alliance for peace the u.s. africa command is quite african but they have those south com always around the world and it's been proven that. these things are and then they use just american exceptionalism and we're going to fight for freedom and democracy we're going to stop terrorism and drug trafficking and all these kind of things like they say i'm in for a latin america is that the war on drugs which is many of us know it's domestic impacts here but it's also had implications in other countries where they're claiming to fight the war on drugs and really what they were doing was propping up dictators and giving the military equipment to cause a lot of death and destruction and death squads and things like that so there's a lot of consequences to this concept of american exceptionalism and they really just cover or maybe some people just believe the hogwash in their superiority and just think because the really and one of the things and i'll just say this in. don

we and the black alliance for peace is stated that we somewhat disagree with dr king when he talks about the militarism being the reflecting the spiritual death of the beginning or approaching of the spear of the death for us that big game that started in the 6000s when the column is asian of this country and the intent to exterminate and commit genocide against indigenous people and you know go westward to and impose its will there's been no period in history of this country that is known and been able to be reflect the ideas of dr king this powerful. you know here you know when we look at the good old days there were no and so in there definitely agree we're. very we in america have held on to this idea of american exceptionalism but it's slowly soft language white superiority

and sadly in all america all americans let me know general but we've been conditioned as americans to accept this as our power and our prowess all over the go sadly enough it's reflected in our everyday lives where you have a so-called president right now donald trump who has appointed 91 percent of these judicial appointees as white men 80 as whites and 81 percent as me yet the majority of the population. have no. it appears to me have no political will to put a stop to this and a good thing is today marks the 3rd year of trump being in office. and it is time over the next year when americans to come to a more spiritual understanding of themselves and a better reflection of

a change from an empiricist. do you want to ask do you feel that because it really gets under my skin to maybe it's just me but it gets under my skin i feel like a lot. you know we give someone a holiday to honor them with say dr king it feels like hey look we gave him a holiday that's good enough now we can all talk about what he said we can all do this but we're not actually ever going to practice what he preached you know we're not ever actually going to truly honor this this you know one of the icons not just dr king but the other icons of civil rights by actually practicing what they preach i mean when you have 20 over 20 percent of black americans 25 percent of native americans living in poverty within your country that's not a quality. where the holiday is being co-opted. to a day of service. where a day of actual change would be great. day of actual legislative overhaul would be the mission rather then put you back to work we get free labor

for 250 years and so work today where you're so that's problematic to me but i look at. the fact that we have heard raising the rich on public assistance residents or cutting 70000 staines. it requiring that they work if they had a job they wouldn't need to begin with so we. this idea that his holiday is being honored for this one day and everything's ok with you is a sad commentary on the white washing of this country and we see it every day that your so called president does a t.v. and. i agree with that i would add more to it though i think there's a number of things that have happened within the last couple of months there are

the fly in the face of what dr can stood for for a couple of them and they actually talk about the actually reflection of the intersection between capitalism and militarism poverty and race and class and those will be in a couple things i can think of are the military surge the police surge the militarization of the police the donald trump ministration authorized giving you know i can 600000000000 dollars 600000000 dollars to local police forces and then the eviction of the moms for justice the house moms for how things recently using the military militarized police to do this and so we're looking at a situation where there are millions of people who are homeless and then there are also millions of vacant homes so it's not like people are homeless because they don't have enough housing people and it's not like those housing housing the homeless man. i mean are vacant because there's no one that doesn't need them and so it's tantamount to the principle that they would have people news is forced to

do it and we've talked about black mothers you know that makes the most impacted reflecting of them on the most impact the poor black mother working class black mothers and so we're looking at it's not just a race of just problem i would only differ with my brother perry in terms of if not more than legislation we need to completely dr king's that these things not just. reflects the contradictions with capitalist economy and racial justice which means a massive a radical we distribution of resources this is his words radical redistribution and not just some piecemeal stuff like of the grosser good way to i want to thank you both gentlemen so much for coming on friedman thank you for educated audience today always a pleasure having you both thank you all right as we go to break called watchers don't forget to let us know what you think the topics are covered over social media be sure to check out watching off the podcast which is now available on spotify apple music and everywhere you listen to your favorite or well not so favorite podcast coming up we get the view from the left and the right in between the

democratic ad was that we should cross former missouri republican party chairman ed markey join us to discuss a 2nd amendment rally that was dripping with controversy just outside the capitol burgeon you stay true to what you. might do the kids see a single boy tonight. who .

said i didn't get showed up to move this because i'm on the same income. and we must. not so much of a thing was i consider as a constant basis. a money as. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by the way. what is true what is faith.

in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallowness. and the united states presidential candidates debate the future of the us and the world. max kaiser and stacy her but dig into the burning questions of this election cycle one celtic every week wealth tax student debt trade was corporate money universal basic income and more catch up with what's front running this sunday exclusively on r.t. . the. legal earth.

is not a. good. good the . the the the the good of the. all right we begin now with a fresh round of protests coming out of the capital of the commonwealth richard richmond virginia today thousands of gun rights activists converged on the city protesting new gun control legislation in the democratically controlled legislature of the state's democratic governor rob northam was even forced to declare a state of emergency or to spare and bronze art was there and filed this report which take a look. at here around 5 o'clock this morning and you can kind of see as you take

a look around the governor did call this a state of emergency but as from what we've seen so far there hasn't been any violence happening whatsoever i talked to a number of ralliers here today they said they just want their voices heard all they want from the governor right now is they don't want their guns being taken away and they also want the governor kicked out now what is in these 3 bills so what we have is they were $35.00 now again these are all going on passing in the virginia senate and now they go to the house we have s.b. $35.00 that allows localities to ban guns from public events you have s.p. $69.00 that makes it where virginia residents can only purchase one handgun a month or in a 30 day period and then as the 70 which requires a background check on all private transfers of firearms now. virginia senate democrats they say that these laws are reasonable massive measures and democrats are also saying that you know these people were voted in office so the public is already spoken as far as what they want but virginia republicans they say this is a case of just a few large localities that are actually dominating in trolling the rest of the

state take a lesson. we're going to feel why maybe republicans should again a little better in virginia not allowing this to happen and we spent all week every person out here saying we're going we're not going to be scared away. city dwellers most of. the people or inhibited or it's. because they've never handled and you know governor ralph northam he has a package of also gun legislation that he's going to be pushing for that would prohibit all individuals subject to final protective orders from owning a gun and it would also require lost and stolen firearms to be reported in a 24 hour period no other legislation that has been filed includes banning indoor shooting ranges and offices where there's more than 50 employees and that's also including the n.r.a. offices where they're headquartered in northern virginia now republican in program

groups they have said that they will fight this all the way to the supreme court with more than 100 virginia cities and counties declaring themselves as a sanctuary city when it comes to the 2nd amendment and they're going to pose any new unconstitutional restrictions on guns. all right joining me now to discuss the 2nd amendment on the virginia rally or 2 folks who represent both the left and 'd the right side of politics in the united states today democratic analyst and political or democratic. crossways or one of these days i will get your introduction right now not a dog thank you very former missouri republican party chairman martin all right i get so excited that i'm like oh i'm going to get this out but no but thank you for both for coming i want our look there's a lot of controversy surrounding this rally. who were these protesters and a lot of people said they were evil and dangerous and terrible but what was the crowd like from what you were well look at and as you mentioned your reporting had some people down there some of our folks activists would i live in virginia and i

work in the local politics too as a precinct captain a lot of folks who were going down were regular citizens they were conservative more conservative concerned look it's a big moment in this sense elections have consequences in the fall the democrats swept everything and they made a promise they were going to do a lot of very liberal things a lot of folks in virginia aren't used to that happening it's going to happen so look i think it was a peaceful rally i've heard the reports were over 20000 people between the small rally and the right of the capitol which was gun free and then a larger one happily no incidents no major problems i'd like when i think it's called rally ahead of time we do a pretty good job of keeping everybody safe but what's coming in the next few weeks is major changes to virginia law and we're going to see how that impacts the future here you know the next couple years in virginia be a governor's race i think so but people are unhappy i think they're just republicans who are now frankly paying the price for losing an election i want to ask you the biggest question surrounding gun ownership in this country is safety of

security you know how do we allow both an armed populace that follows the 2nd amendment while also stopping gun related violence like we've seen send you a park with chicago how do we do that why i think that 1st and foremost it's important to understand that the differences between what happened in sandy hook in parklane and chicago so there are certain things in terms of gun regulations that we can do to prevent atrocities like sandy hook and parkland that aren't going to affect chicago at all so when we're talking about these high capacity weapons for instance weapons of war as i would describe them and as many other democrats with this why of them i don't think that those belong in the hands of everyday citizens those are not weapons that are used for hunting those are not weapons they're used poor for you know your entertainment purposes in terms of you know collections and things like that those. are weapons that have mass destructive properties so if we are able to eradicate those i think that we would how certain situations diminish that doesn't affect chicago in chicago the majority of the gun violence is done by

handguns so i think that in a city like chicago that in a state like illinois which is my head i think we also have to have states that that sign these agreements that make sure that the gun trafficking is reduced as well look a couple hours ago the president ited states tweeted on this subject he said 2nd amendment i'll never go we've got to be strong the 2nd amendment does matter here right i mean the facts are you mentioned the terrible shootings the terrible shootings that we saw these are mental health problems these are people that have serious problems has to be addressed we do have a 2nd amendment the people in chicago that are committing crimes are criminals there are lots of most americans have a right have have the right to the 2nd amendment and they abide by that right they're willing to abide by the rules they're willing to play by certain rules but what we're seeing is a move on the 2nd amendment by the left and it's systematic it's happening in prosecutor's offices in st louis in philadelphia in chicago where they're targeting gun owners not targeting criminals and that's a problem that crime criminals and people that aren't healthy and well mentally are

the ones that cause those problems not regularly and there's often a conservative that is used when it comes to mental mental health and mental illness and those who commit gun crimes what we know factually as someone who has sat on the committee is that someone who has worked through mental illness and mental health associations my brother committed suicide very sadly and tragically. the majority of people who commit these crimes are not people who have sort of illnesses are not people who actually are that maybe they're less than 2 percent the population who have actually you know committed these crimes who have who are mentally ill so utilizing that as the truck to scare people it actually hurts people who are who are going to get another majority of mentally ill people and scaring well i don't know how to get any type of violence against anyone else and i think that the. the problem in that type of analogy when i'm saying when someone has a 2nd amendment right our constitution has worked well because it has protections for we the people against the government and against enforcement and against tyranny and in for example

a scope parkland parklane the kid in parkland read the book on his background he was repeatedly problematic in school deeply disturbed whether he was diagnosed as mental health or not that's a different problem and he wasn't kicked out of school he wasn't reprimand he wasn't treated look we have a problem whether it's mental health diagnosis my point is regular citizens have a 2nd amendment right and they don't break the law in chicago the gun owner he said it's not the guns don't commit crimes in chicago that handguns get in chicago and criminals commit crimes we have a lawless ness problem in chicago and other cities that we have to get spot on but don't take my 2nd amendment away because there's criminals over there doing that you know it's interesting because i look at i look at both sides of what's going on here and i think one of the things the missing from this is you know every each side you know one says hey it's the tool that's being used let's start let's try to cut back on the tool the other side says ok well you know we've got the mental health issue things like the you you know it organized crime we're going to go after the criminals and all of the you know the one thing that we forget about all this though is that the united states is also a culture of violence we can say we're not but we are and we love to spread that

cultural bias because let's remember at the end of the day we are the biggest arms dealer in the world we spread violence around the world that we can't be surprise them and we are cheerleading dropping bombs on foreign countries and things like about nature but when we're cheerleading that that doesn't have a way of coming back around into our own society and saying hey violence is ok violence is an answer i have to leave it there i know you don't want to have a world war i want more many more days and more times that if the subs are going to go anywhere soon i want to thank you both so much a true pleasure having you on given such great ideas here already before we go to bed watching the hawks news contributor and we should cross brings us her thoughts on the legacy and celebration of dr martin luther king jr take it away and be sure dr martin luther king. jr remains one of america's most prominent historical figures and a global example of leadership strength in the face of adversity and moral courage but sadly in america today much of what dr king fought and died for is unraveling

before our very eyes and his legacy is being whitewashed for the comparability of those fighting to dismantle the very things dr king stood for from water hoses and attack dogs to whites only signs housing and employment discrimination to segregated education dr king etched indelible mark on this country fighting the ills of racism and the state of this country's original sin slavery he did so with courage that most of us can't fathom he had a vision for america that focused on inclusion not separatism he had a vision of equity and equality dr king saw in america that our founding fathers couldn't and never intended though most well known and quoted for as i have a dream speech dr king's letter from a birmingham jail is more in the matter of who he was and what his legacy stood for he was relegated as an outsider and an agitator whose activities were unwise and untimely dr king was willing to break laws that were unjust because those laws should never have a place in our society though he believed in the goshi ation he realized its limits

and the direct action to organize marches and sit ins will create the tension necessary for change he also realize that administrations and elected leaders can almost always be counted on to maintain the status quo unless the people rise up and force them to see things differently today we faced great challenges in defending dr king's dream legacy and vision we have more segregated schools now than we did at the height of the civil rights movement our prisons are filled with black and brown people crushed under the weight of an unjust system our health care system is crumbling and communities of color across this country are suffering we have a white supremacist marching in the streets and not to mention the white house. if we have a president who was actively stoking the flames of hate to truly honor dr king we must all take up the mantle he did get uncomfortable get comfortable in being uncomfortable we must lead and pursue justice in action on this martin luther king

day let's ledge to carry out his legacy by religion in america and fighting to ensure that she is equitable and just for generations to come. that was very nice and beautiful thank you so much for sharing that with us today always a pleasure both of you thank you art everybody that is our show for you today remember everyone in this world we are not told that we are loved enough so i tell you all i love you tyrol been through a keep on watching those hawks never great day and night everybody. and we're going to fulfill the repeated promises ok politics to the people come on you know we it's all pots. really

really. pretty good. now you want to 1st correct that. no 5. cut cut. you know before george zeros became well a 5 day globalist market manipulator and election riggers he wrote a lot of interesting books and of course. jim rogers at the quantum fund which was

one of the best performing hedge funds ever kind of invented the modern hedge fund and he's got a lot of things to say if you look at his old work and we're going to get into it. what holds his hands to you so you can. be put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something wanted. to go right to be close this is what before 3 in the morning can people get. interested always in the waters of the holidays. or should. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family and daughters in florida another mother daughter is buried in a cement terry it really messes with your head what happens to the community the

public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court the be the. shock shock as far as society we feel. we don't know still just screwed up on. the end of this trial unfortunately you. will still love no chill just.

changing of the guard president vladimir putin approves the new russian government we take a look at the fresh cabinet line. not to be un security council. the west continues to defend the chemical weapons watchdogs report on serious incident in 2080 after spying the watchdog zone for my inspector corning it's contradictory. the findings in the form of reforms were contradictory were. what would be the story of. the russian health ministry has warned that the country could be at risk from a new coronavirus spreading through china.
