tv   Watching the Hawks  RT  February 4, 2020 10:30am-11:00am EST

10:30 am
test was pretty common among day and on the outside it was the images of the gun rights advocates walking the marble halls of kentucky's capitol building holding a kaizen wearing ski masks that has left many a raised eyebrow they would hold the stillman douglas high school shooting survivor and gun control advocate he tweeted out this might be one of the most extreme forms of white privilege i've ever seen. and you know even as someone like me who supports the 2nd amendment i can't say the day brit is wrong in his observations so today my friends let's dissect the call cassady of us society when it comes to the 2nd amendment as we start watching the hawks. was going out on a city the streets. clear so you'd like to see the rises you always state i'll see you slice great city displays systemic deceptions
10:31 am
late show which is why we're so pleased. welcome our own are watching the entire robot and joining me today to discuss this and the other big news of the day is political analyst and democratic strategist for cross and the president of the eagle forum educator former education and legal defense fund ed martin whoa man i'm talking it was blown my mind this we get i'm sorry i mean look it's hard to see images of these protesters walking through the hallways of this capitol building hold a r.'s of a case which they have a right to own but where the mass of looking like terror i mean you can't i mean they look like crazy soldiers with guns and arms and schemas frightening. i don't think other groups of them could get away with that i don't think even if it was maybe this is me but i don't think a group of black folks black citizens could be dressed like that even you know if they were protesting for the 2nd amendment could walk those halls or be allowed in
10:32 am
that building i don't think you'd see that if there's a latino groups i mean my wrong i absolutely agree with you i think that you know the racial balance of this country have obviously drawn their lines when it comes to who with the as an american fit a thing who is worthy of owning a gun and who is not and who within as a threat at the end of the day if you're talking about black or brown people when there is a gun present or there is a good near them they are automatically considered a threat and even you know we're talking about police brutality the part. thing that officers call out is that they felt like there was a threat or they thought that there may have been a gun even issues where instances where there was absolutely no weapon present at all i think that this was a very scary scene 1st and foremost because it was in the nation's capital in a capital of a city but also within within the confines of an actual government building at the end of the day when we're thinking about those areas we think about them as protection we don't necessarily think about them as having everyday citizens armed like this which looks like militant groups well look i'm actually for banning masks in public i mean i think that when they were masks they should be banned i think if
10:33 am
you're not willing to stand up and have your face exposed and it's outrageous i don't know where you guys are coming i was there attested you have to be white to go i know i mean you're saying that you're saying you're saying that i don't know kentucky i don't i didn't look at all the pictures but i'm reminded of charlottesville where people said in charlottesville it was a gathering of white supremacist it was and there was lots of people on the side of the white supremacy i'm not i'm not trying to save a pure gold i'm sure that's what that's what the white privilege is is that is the trick box we're down again i think the american people right now are reacting and that's why i think your show is so important to the fact that we saw the f.b.i. be unfair to all americans used to be they were just unfair to martin luther king jr and his family there unfair to all americans we have a problem with the deep state we have a problem with walt law enforcement so when you say you're going to limit my 2nd amendment right none of those people were talked about were arrested for misconduct no no no they weren't in richmond so let's go to chicago and see where they're going so if there was any group of those people are glad it was nobody ever got in
10:34 am
through the capitol doors had folks of a different color that's not right out of that well that's your library or not you know i don't really i don't know if i'm. going to say i dare you because i am going to actually i don't because i don't want to see anybody getting forgotten who goes to the mess that we're going to the next thing all right we are here my friends we finally made it yes monday february 3rd 2020 is the day we've all been waiting for because i'm. monday the iowans get to vote yes the iowa caucus is that hand this is the starting line that we've all been waiting for since the very 1st circus of the democratic presidential primary debate you remember the one we witness way a long time ago june 2000 and you see the iowa caucus get to be the ones who decide which democratic primary candidate gets to take that 1st big step on the road to being named the democratic presidential nominee are 2 your america's natasha sweet brings us the lowdown on how bernie joe war and the rest spent their final weekend before i was big voting details take
10:35 am
a look. well the democrats are getting ready to reload their insults against president trump but there were a few campaign fails on the trail this past weekend but along with the good there was also a bit of success for some of the democratic candidates take a look at this here you can see former vice president joe biden kissing his granddaughter on the lips this was in front of a crowd at a campaign event at clark university in iowa she is reportedly the daughter of biden's son hunter 77 year old has been criticized repeatedly for inappropriate touching something that his supporters say is harmless in des moines iowa over the weekend and biden focused much of his speech attacking the president as we can turn 4 years of donald trump into an aberration historical aberration but 8 years you'll change the country in a way we can tolerate we need you we need you we need you and if you thought this moment of michael bloomberg trying to pet it dog was awkward his back and forth with president trump was also one for the books this week and the president tweeted
10:36 am
that quote many mike is negotiating to stand on boxes or lift during the debates a reporter tweeted that he asked bloomberg about this and his response was that he stands twice as tall on a stage that matters i stand before you today as the granddaughter of an iron ore mine or as the daughter of a teacher in a newspaper man as the 1st woman elected to the u.s. senate from the state of minnesota and a candidate for president of the united states. senator amy klobuchar was playing that permitted western roots during a campaign stop in cedar rapids on the eve of the iowa caucuses some believe that biden wins the nomination that close the char has a chance and becoming his running mates before the polls are out ad revenue reveals all candidates are throwing more than $70000000.00 into iowa now the president's tweet about many mike wasn't the only one receiving buzz online president trump also made a comment about the democratic national committee not treating bernie fairly democratic campaign made also opened up about the issue saying that bernie is
10:37 am
simply not playing by the rules in los angeles and weeks r.t. . goodness gracious so today is the day i just want to throw it to you guys how do we feel you know how much of a an impact will the winner of i will be i was a bigger impact i was always been a major impact especially since 2000 with democratic voters specifically it signals who's going to be able to make that fund raising haul further down the line it signals who now should receive the amount of attention from voters i was has pretty much decided in many cases the role of the next few primaries it helps to shape the course of the field a few months ago we thought that judge was in 100 percent and i what everybody had him break a good number one nobody saw bernie even polling in the top 3 and today we're seeing something entirely different we've seen warren consistently dip in terms of her race but we've also seen clothes which are actually get some attention so i think that i was shaping up to be a very very interesting ways of the outsider look at him well 1st of all when i was
10:38 am
on the r. and c. for a couple years i watched iowa with the system is really rigged for money money and consultants so when you see that big money that's one person but look at bernie's night i can almost guarantee it and that happened because on october 19th a oh she endorsed bernie and she in her after others went behind him tonight is the beginning of a civil war in the democrat party and the fact that no one is saying you know we just did a segment on guns and you said kentucky's you know got only white people protesting think about what's going to happen you've got. white men at the top of this ticket dominate there's not an african-american in the mix there's not a hispanic in the mix they're all gone and the party thinks as they take on the civil war that they're going to survive it's tonight it's going to be extraordinary to see but the next 3 months are going to be wild in the democrat party but if i was going to clear the field look it's going to end up being 4 or 5 left after tonight you know well you guys work we go we've got a little bit of time left in this segment i don't want to ask you to predict who will win because up your lips and worse than anyone can be one obvious thing i'll go for it and i don't need but nobody's going to win but he's going to you know yeah that's why the des moines poll was canceled that's why chris matthews is
10:39 am
hitting on bernie this morning on morning joe they can't stand that this happened bernie is going to win i think buta judge is going to come in stronger but by the 2nd and after that it doesn't matter really been a judge and i think that that's i think that's pretty solid only mix here that is a little bit strange a thing bernie eclipse to be number one right now in iowa i don't think anything else changes in that i'm going forward it's going to be an interesting race because if it starts off with bernie i'm not hard for them you've got new hampshire which is probably going to win the new government battle which burning also has a pretty good shot of winning the pressure tonight will be whether the lizabeth warned us so poorly that she pulls out tomorrow i mean because she's going to she's going to this is going to do so poorly so it's fallen off the it's really just absolute when she attacked bernie with that fight that really turned off the elizabeth warren comes in anything lower than they are and i think that this is going to signal something being detrimental to our campaign while i want to thank you both for coming on a good look see we can all argue both through are about you're going to understand this and that is not all going to thank you so much mark mr cross always a pleasure thank you so much as we go to break watchers don't forget to let us know

10:42 am
i need another one of our esteemed accounts when you're both to assume because somebody could solve mukti of our. plans in this way got to talk so hard not to think of the mother disappeared this moment the work of a coward and i don't mean to start then if. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights in his own way. the floor looking the fee down this most recent woody allen called the evil adults who couldn't help. but i think it is this is the fans that is what comes.
10:43 am
what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. want to be that's. what you going to be for us this is what the 43 of the 4 people that i'm interested always in the water use in. this city. since the 1st day of 2002012 incarcerated people have died and a host of disturbing social media videos featuring inhuman conditions have surfaced from behind the walls of the mississippi state prison system and at the center is
10:44 am
the notorious apartment and the time tree watching the hawks social media producer journalist springer recently traveled out of the state of mississippi and brought about this brought back this report on the pain of the penitentiary and the protests against it. when you're inside it is totally different from outside people watched a movie is and they have to take on what prison this like but they don't know. what it is to be inside we have to take aim and shove them when we're inside. go to a whole lot of things but we take a few each of them to. me and i think he used to get out of the office in an abnormal situation if you have to make money so you try. you know
10:45 am
we're just. we have to. take to washing your old clothes on your. washing machines to put your clothes in a bag. or you take them to the laundry and you turn them in you don't know what you're going to get. you might. not get it all. the more in the prison it's coming through the wall you bring it to be in the field there. are people. from. the toilets. even and the unit $29.00 is there to be the newest the most modern unit is still crumbling the infrastructure is crumbling and it's visible to anybody who even walks into the unit normally when you go to
10:46 am
a visit on unit $29.00 it's going to be harder it's going to be cold either it's going to be extremely cold outside or is going to be extremely hot inside normally in temperatures in excess of $100.00 degrees there's no active there's no air conditioning. there's no aggregation for us in a ventilated area. and in the actual pods in the sales that whole guys they have no circulation at all so what you normally would seeing is that you see. this and they're laying on the coal for because you know it's when the man is in made out of cinderblocks cinder blocks they hold in either cool air or they hold the heat so during the summer months they're holding in all the cool air so the gas just lay bare just like bare chested on the floor it's not uncommon to see 5 or 6 guys just laid out and in a sale on the floor vironment is visible in the visiting area rats. roaches spiders i'm not talking little fire fighters mosquitoes are fast.
10:47 am
waltz any instinct that you want to see have in the corners of the facility and these are areas where the public are. allowed i mean there's nothing new about what's happening in march and i would say in very recent history i think 2 summers ago in august there was basically every other day most of them parchin and in a little bit further back history if we look at the 1970 s. there's this successful suit that they are sort of people win against the state that leads to the end of the trustee system and that was around cruel and unusual punishment so as long as the prison has existed there have been these sort of cruel inhuman conditions and what we're going to continue to see and have seen in the past is these episodic. periods where the state violence is sort of most apparent to us but for people who are incarcerated that state violence every day. i would
10:48 am
never drink the water or i don't like to wash my hands in the bathroom because when you turned water on it's literally the color of. the water fountains when they were the same way they were they come on the water fountains scared to drink the guards will tell you not to drink guards give me about water because i didn't have any they went to water but my clients want that water out of the water varies between 2 ways it's either to chlorinate it or it smells like sewage and so all the pipes leak right so the gas had their socks around the leaky pipes and so if that's not so brand. they know not to drink the water if the socks are why they know koreans in the water we can wash our clothes and that if you don't enter into water you're going to drink it at that time period if there is a border notice in the area you guys will get by the water there are still forced to drink that water they take their medication what water that smells like sewage they take medication in water that visibly if you put it in
10:49 am
a cup and they think as well take it that they let the water sit and they let all of the soil and all of the particles go to the bottom and then they just drink the water that is clarified on top. conditions at parchin have been this way. behind me is the mississippi state penitentiary known locally as parchment prison where an astounding 9 individuals have died in the past month alone since the start of the new year reports of everything from fights and fires and suicides to insufficient food and water supplies power outages and individuals sleeping on the floors have been reported and a mountain of human rights abuses are allegedly going on behind these walls we traveled here today to speak with locals activists politicians celebrities and everyone in between and to try and figure out why these things are happening here parchment and what can be done to fix the problem in order to understand the
10:50 am
current crisis inside parchment you have to go way back in history and understand the prisons roots of former governor of mississippi and open my supreme mrs james k. vardaman was instrumental in creating the mississippi state prison he believed that the money made from convict leasing and chain gang should go to the state instead of private entities and those of the mississippi state penitentiary was born the prison itself is a reform so parchment prison comes about at the turn of the last century as a as a way to sort of. undo what some people are see as the problems of the comically system and in particular governor the governor at the time james vardaman who is an unapologetic white supremacist actually runs on a campaign of white supremacy. believes that the problem with comic leasing was not really the sort of. human rights abuse that it was but rather that he saw it as sort of lining the pockets of the plantation class that he was a white supremacist populist and believe that this sort of state run plantation
10:51 am
style prison would instead be a way of sort of socializing african-americans to their place which he saw as. manual labor the reform that led to the establishment of parchment was also white supremacist in its intent. as i mentioned james james parliaments the person who established. parchment and he used to actually incarcerated people on the grounds of parchment with bloodhounds for sport so if you think about that kind of context in which this place is born there's really no some great in white supremacy. an issue with. the timeline that there were about 4 or 5 it's within 3 or 4 days between december 29th and jane where 2nd either on january 2nd in the o.c.
10:52 am
issued a statement stating that everything was under control however on january 3rd 2 more people died as a result of the incidents that occur within one of the indio see it was still a tease throughout the state we did a timeline breakdown of everything that was occurring once we did that time last week we deployed the article on twitter facebook all of our platforms and certainly it began to go really viral we posted a video image of that was sent of several being being housed in a in a unit 32 of parchment unit 32 of parchment has been condemned and closed down since 2009 says 2000 i suffered for over 10 years and that was closed down when a.c.l.u. into than agreement with the city state prison for parchment to close it down the reason it was closed down was because it was a hellhole the. essential it was it was
10:53 am
a place where where 6 of the people that were being housed there it was the different facility it was the place where where people who were very sick was also being housed but it was also a. a place that was a violent place to say the least essentially the a.c.l.u. decided. this facility should no longer be open so for 10 years this this place had been closed down and this was the place that. these these incarcerated people were moved to this facility now is flooded it has black mold in it they have no mattresses it basically has not been maintained in 10 years it was continue to be able to years ago but we have video surfaces of these men inside of this facility and we had already told the story that no other new site was telling with regard to those men being in unit 32 nobody else had disclosed because they didn't have the inside information once we got it we shared it and we share the video and the video
10:54 am
went viral on twitter it was shared by. many hip hop artists and it's heinous on twitter and instagram couldn't people like t.i. david banner and big create a thing even so a lot of rappers have really been vocal about it parchment is located at least 2 hours away from any major cities making it difficult for lawyers family members and having kids to visit in recent months incarcerated people have used contraband cell phones to share videos and photos of their conditions on social media a risky act and incentives to force transparency in a deadly situation where the prison officials allege that prison gangs are to blame for the mounting debts the merged many are pushing against that narrative stating that the inhuman conditions are driving people beyond sanity i think now with all of that. technology that now we're going to have people are now going to be able to see inside and i think that's what's threatening to. the people that are
10:55 am
supposed to be in charge of the prisons now disappoint i think this is was threatening to warm because you can't you get so many people in so much of that is around so much contraband they were going there you can't you can't really control or find out who were to get retrieve this from who. and so it's going to continue to leak we're going to change them no more things that continue to slip because people are getting bold but now people are also coming up to get the main way their prisons have been able to skirt any type of regulation authority around issues involving prisoners and litigation pretty much came out of the night and if i'm in congress passed the prison litigation reform act and what that was is that at that time congress was seeing in prisons we're seeing a large number of prisoners filing suits about the conditions that they lived in and it was causing a backlog in the backlog in the in the system and so
10:56 am
congress wanted a way to limit the rights of prisoners to bring federal lawsuits about the conditions that they were being to. and so what the p.l.r. a does is that it basically calls for or prisoners to allow their captors high notice to fix issues that are conditions based so basically what you have to do is that you have to say you have to say to the people who are holding you in these conditions hey. this widest smells like this water tastes like larry and then you have to give those people a reasonable amount of time to address the issue before you can move on to even falla law suit against a president. who absolutely powerful stuff you're going to want to definitely check out the 2nd half of that report by watching hawk social media driven sport and we're about to we air that later this week so thank you all for coming and watching
10:57 am
the show today that's all we got for you that is our show remember everyone in this world we are told and not told that we are loved enough so i tell you all i love you tyrone for a keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and night. thinking of getting a new phone the ones we got in our shoes from our model as he didn't know until he was trapped in this tiny little wired we're going to use a crate with him he will just stir freaking out in she will want to stream anywhere near it thousands of breeding dogs are caged in in human conditions on puppy farm i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in a cage outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the
10:58 am
courtier the rain the snow the thunder nothing they have no protection. to get what you. get to kids. across the u.s. cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and pet stores most of the puppies that are coming from these large scale factory farming kind of operations are being sold in stores even joined a group businesses are involved but i can't give them one cent of there has been a shocking amount of the organizing opposition to efforts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding for so many most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with dogs don't buy dogs on o.t. . so the politicians have basically stuck the american public with the delegate to negotiate for drugs and both parties who are financed very
10:59 am
heavily by the pharmaceutical industry have done this so when your own people vote they should look at how much does this politician get from the power pharmaceutical industry. and his community there are people who believe that it's ok to sell for x. food on my table it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with arguments there's a lot of conflict within the game between the close of the conflict i would say over balls around money and money is made. us want to know the children's clothes he know each other is good because the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison complexes you get so when you live where. you don't care anymore
