you get what you need and you know what happens if you don't try it all well you get what you deserve and after tuesday night's state of the union speech i think we are definitely getting what we deserve this year 78 minute long annual public relations speech by the president the united states to the u.s. congress and the country was definitely everything we've come to expect from our brand name in chief including 3 door prizes like the awarding of the presidential medal of freedom to conservative radio talk show host rush limbaugh. rosa parks' mohammad ali mother teresa and now rush limbaugh adds his name to the list for i guess what helping create a train wreck of divisive partisan punditry that's called news commentary what else did russia dewey inspired a generation of hypocrites sexist racist and sells i got diagnosed with lung cancer i don't know who knows but the state of the union reality show the outworks were

not just reserved for president trump no new no us house speaker nancy. pelosi got in on the game as well here she is at the end of the president's speech tearing up her paper copy of the donald speech tear it up nancy look at what amidst all of the democratic spokes person walkouts presidential promises of claiming mars now is a u.s. territory there was one moment that truly stood out there this evening so very brave man. who carries with him the hopes dreams and aspirations of all venezuelans joining us in the gallery is the true and legitimate president of venezuela why why do. you see nothing cuts through the bi partisan gridlock and brings washington d.c. democrats republicans together quite like their mutual love of regime change or presume change wars and u.s.

backed coup d'etat this is the political class or lack thereof the united states deserves because we the people my friends we have not been trying we haven't been watching the hawks. in the city streets you want to. listen to what she says see the crisis joyce state. rice grace suggests least systemic deception. which would be so. welcome everybody watching the hawks. joining me today to discuss the state of the union is the one and only the sure cross thank you thanks for having me tara was a pleasure so i have to ask this is killing me 1st i want to get what was your take from the entire state of the union address from beginning to what did you walk away from feeling of the state of the union was the alphabet soup of all things that

republicans want to hear right now i felt that the state of the union was this president's speech directly towards his base it wasn't a speech that or a declaration of sorts of american progress the moving into the next phase as much as it was really a campaign to get people out in november beyond that though there were so many discrepancies in his idea of what the facts were from the numbers that he threw out about employment to the to the steps that he threw. out about diversity in addition to watching him turn this whole thing into what i would consider the ellen show or kelly clarkson by just warning dip we saw him do about a scholarship we saw him bring back a folder to a family that didn't know that he was coming back and there was a lot going on that was the after call which is what we've known this president for his reality t.v. tricks but also he the rabid within that a lot of reading of just out live to the point where he started talking about how

he's been fighting to defend and bring back in supreme conditions which we know he and his administration have done the exact opposite a lot of that is being battled in the courts right now and he's standing on the opposite side of it there was a lot there that i think was completely blatantly untrue and i. caught a lot of that in his speech and i've seen that a lot throughout the years of. presidents stand up and half truths as a kind of play to their base but this was this was a campaign stump speech at the end of the day for all the see the ratings were down compared to last year which kind of surprised me given everything going on i got the ratings through the roof. one thing that always gets under my skin though is why yes we had a lot of democratic congressmen and women you know walking out not showing. nancy pelosi making great bases oversold or the empire tearing up the paper. but to me that's all kind of the tricks on their part because when it comes to issues that truly count the budget for war giving the president the you know renewing the

patriot act so trump can use you know this this weird hand in hand you know democrat republican love affair with what you know with with backing want to go and regime change efforts in syria and venezuela why you know why do the hashtag resistance democrats don't really want to stand up to the donald on those subjects so i think that when we think about the the resistance democrats they also have to play a little bit of ball they are seen as the far left of the democratic party they don't necessarily have a huge echo chamber of support within the party structure itself and they're kind of trying to be this upstart that runs came to them against a lot of the longstanding democrats across this country it's interesting that you bring up one by dell because people treated this the news media treated this like it was a new stance for this president president trump supported one guy though in january of 2019 this isn't something that's new for him the most interesting part to me is that he has come out and he's made these statements in support of him when president trump himself is guilty of

a lot of things that why don't support it actually happens to be guilty and we're talking about election rigging and we're talking about all of the attacks against opponents and things like that we're seeing a president who right now was under the bill of impeachment because of election rigging and trying to make things work for himself in terms of his own self interest in the 2020 election so for him to come out and be in support of someone who he thinks is someone who we propped up as a country as leading democracy into the next great deal he's someone who himself is hampering democracy right here i think that was my biggest argument fresh ration with the support levels that he has yeah i mean to me it's like it's that thing where i look at it and it's always kind of like. it's always to me like smoke and mirrors coming from both sides of said we what we want to change a system we want to fight donald or we want to fight this person we don't like but the end of the day the system will never change we will still work american empire overseas we'll still want to install people that we want and. our in other countries and to me that's what gets at the very heart of the drives me nuts about watching you know the hypocrisy of we've got to stop fascist dictators but will

install fascist dictators you know like that we can't get around that part so i think that we as a nation have a habit of installing people and other and other regimes that we do probably in some cases long term effects are extremely negative in this case what we've seen is that people have been swallowed rise up against the murder regime and i think that that speaks a lot to the suffering that they feel like they've had under his regime but also to the fact that they don't feel like there was a free and fair election and for america to stand as it were supposed to stand as the nation that brings that about which we can argue back and forth on what that looks like today i think that it matters to have a president whether that president is democrat or conservative step out in support of a free and fair election when that's something that is one of the core of the democrat of the democratic caucus and i think it's different when we're him picking and backing a specific leader if you want venezuela to take care of venezuela and find their own way let them find their own way that's my feelings on it at the end of the day that's venezuela's issues not ours nor should we be you know backing one leader

down there or not but i will disagree on that obviously however you brought a very fascinating story to the table today that i want you to talk about but it's really good thanks so much diversity and inclusion are buzzwords in workplaces across the country with efforts to reduce racial and gender discrimination and bias at the forefront america's controversial and storied relationship with the versity funnels through each of its institutions with devastating consequences with the workplace steadily becoming ground 0 and implicit bias taking center stage implicit bias is when racial stereotypes and assumptions creep into our minds and affect our actions. large corporations like starbucks papa johns google and more are investing in training to reduce the problem and the trainings aren't cheap the lowest cost ones range from $2.00 to $6000.00 where the cadillac versions could cost 70 $5000.00 or more per day per training those trainings have been met with skepticism and varied results but rest assured the u.s.

army research laboratory has a solution to northeastern professors recently received a 1500000 dollars grant to study how alexa like smart devices could help you better understand and mitigate your implicit bias and work together in teams with people who don't look like you the new device will use technology featuring a sensor equipped smart device designed to pick up on both verbal and nonverbal cues and eventually physiological signals shared among team members tracking these interactions over time and using the data collected to provide recommendations on improving productivity could this device actually bring it into a workplace bias or create bigger problems that is a fascinating question and it's hard to answer because like one half of my brain goes a thing of what do we really need another layer of technology kind of in between our solving problems. but the other of the brain this is a workplace bias is a very real and it's a very devastating issue is it not across this country absolutely and we've seen major corporations we've also seen nonprofits there isn't

a place right now schools school systems but all government organizations there isn't a place in this country that has not looked towards doing something to eradicate implicit bias my issue and concern with this with this newly devised technology around it is that a lot of the things that that article points for it are things that could be to go points for things that have absolutely nothing to do with implicit bias we know that levels of depression and anxiety exist in the workplace those could be physiological changes that would be things that would sound off for this new system people have you know death in their family or they just had a bad work day and that doesn't mean that there is something that should be reviewed by age. our i think that this is a very slippery slope in terms of how it relates to somebody as direct action which is what we should be focused on we're talking about implicit bias birth is someone's internalized emotion and because that could come from a myriad of it's a great point that you bring up because it's like somebody somebody have a bad morning before they get there and then they're sitting in that meeting and they might have a they might have a negative look on their face when you know their partner's over here talking and

that doesn't mean that they're upset with the person sitting next them at the same time that you know implicit bias does exist you see racism you see gender inequality in corporate and workplaces all around the country you know and so to me it's like i feel like we're getting too dependent on the idea that technology can fix all but you can't just put an algorithm in at the end of the day and hope that like oh well then that'll solve all the problems because i don't you know pinpoint what's happening right now historically speaking when we have developed algorithms that were supposed to eradicate all things racial bias they've done the exact opposite very does they're using remote justice every day and they steal it a been truly end up putting more black and brown people in prison what we know is that a lot of these systems do not affectionately work the issue with implicit bias an implicit bias training is that the other trainings that we're seeing out here aren't necessarily working either because they're not geared towards a behavior they're geared towards trying to change how somebody feels and we think that that is a much harder thing to do when you're talking about workplace behaviors those are things we can definitely mitigate just by creating new rules and regulations in the

workplace yeah it doesn't necessarily even require this level of training and once corporations and businesses get on board with that i think that we're going to see change you know i actually hope so because i'm really you know that's one of the things that i i want to see change in this country i'm tired of seeing and hearing those stories over and over again those stories that eventually lead to the harvey weinstein's of the world those stories eventually lead to you know racism in hiring and things like that and you know the only place we're going to have to get the mail in the head is that idea that you've got to change the culture and change a culture but changing the rules and how it operates is good you know then feelings will change awfully later right exactly the only thing that changes people's minds and this is something that. you can't do it through technology your through any rules and regulations is that for a lot of folks it means that you have to be closer to one learn more about these cultures or these individuals that you have separate yourself from and so once we have more minorities in schools of people who are now minorities once we have more people who are engaging in the cultural experiences of cultures that are not payers there will be a level of understanding that the ballots from that alexa type technology isn't

something that's going to be all that you know it's not a major thank you so much always a pleasure having you on thanks so much awesome all right as we go to break watchers do not forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered in our social media and be sure to watch and watch the podcast on spotify awful music and everywhere they were not so. you can also start watching the hawks on the brand new portable t.v. available on smartphones from google play on the apple app store by searching for the coming up. fossil fuels with getting all of the attention is there another form of pollution but the us congress leaves to radio the pollution the influence or stay tuned and find out why people.

chose to build their economy in such a way as that spawn the crisis of the problem buyers and for that there is an economic model. and the u.s. could inherit a benefit of that economic downturn similarly the u.s. builds its economy in ways that cause other kind of extra analogies that are highly detrimental to the u.s. economy. and then there's the number you know not. all of them ok if the.

last not minimize the net in a film about a day at me thought it was the other guy's that i'm not going to be. the one that having. people call people. if they're not i'm not even on what the how do. they need the whole gone. why do. we not nation of all. just not just an honest one.

for money you cannot get more quintessential americana than taking a trip through the wilderness and majesty of our national parks and public lands even u.s. president franklin delano roosevelt agrees $1.00 stating that there is nothing so american as our national parks the fundamental idea behind the parks is that the country belongs to the people that it is in process of making the enrichment of the lives of all of us but what happens when the country that belongs to the people starts getting abused by its people all the name of likes harks and click bait. for example just last spring after tens of thousands of influencers and tourists invaded the hills and fields around walker canyon during a super bloom of flowers in new york near lake elsinore in california city officials were forced to close the area off to the public citing safety concerns as well as ecological ones people going off trail and trampling the flowers can cause serious damage to the soil and maybe even prevent this lovely natural phenomenon

from happening again recently political consultant but turns out a good worry right riley topping wrote an op ed in the hill declaring that the time was right for the house and senate committees on natural resources to hold oversight hearings investigating the role of social media influencers on our public lands so interesting thought she joins me now to discuss the all of the negative influence the influencers have on the u.s. wilderness roy thank you always for coming on. thanks for having me roy i got to ask are you you're calling for congress to hold hearings is the instagram generation and its influencers really damaging our national parks so much that congress needs to get involved now. well i would argue yes in the example that you just cited with walker canyon i think is the most obvious example of that if it's gotten to the point where we have to close off particular areas of our public lands so that nobody can use them including influencers to me that's indicative of

a larger problem and i think that we've seen you know the fact that we have an entire congressional committee that's dedicated to looking into issues that relate to public lands the natural resources committee in the house has a subcommittee that is devoted solely towards oversight with regards to our public lands this seems to fall squarely within their jurisdiction and you know i am not a fan of over legislating and over regulating behavior so i want to make that clear however i do think it's an issue that requires some attention and some educational awareness and holding some public policy hearing. and perhaps hearing from the national park service and other employees who are dealing with the effects of these influencers i think giving them the opportunity to discuss the situations that they're dealing with and to talk to the public about the behavior that they would like to see that i think could go a long way towards preserving public lands as you know you started by quoting franklin delano roosevelt when our legislation that authorized many federal parks

was passed one of the main goals of such legislation was to preserve these lands for generations to come and if they're getting destroyed and they're getting close i think that that is the opposite of preserving them for future generations so i come down on yes i think we need to have congress look at those it's interesting because i couldn't i can't agree with you more because it to me it's like you know if you're going to go when you're going to take your picture of a place to you know you have to respect the place and don't take the picture and leave it in ruins so no one else gets that picture or maybe that's the idea behind this why can't i'm curious why can't a national park service on the road why are they having such a hard time handling this you know it well you know because i mean look we have you know people out there that are supposed to do this is it underfunding is that what you what why can't they handle this that we need to look at. well i think the main thing you just hit the nail on the head when you talked about funding obviously our federal budget continues to increase then as you and i have talked about in various contexts before there's not

a lot of accountability for where that money is being spent so one of the main things about bringing attention to this and hearing from the national park service is so that they can talk about what they would need funding for in terms of in forstmann is that more park rangers is it more educational material i mean obviously national parks have web sites when you go there in person they have pamphlets but people are paying attention to those things and like you just alluded to sometimes people just want that picture and they want it to be unique they don't want anybody else to be able to do the same thing that that they just did because the algorithm favors things that are that are unique and that are dramatic that you know. midges that draw are i in however there's also a lot of people who just simply feel like they're above the law and in other contexts that behavior is just not acceptable so i don't know why in the realm of social media people seem to think that it's it's acceptable here that if i get more likes it's ok for me to break the law a behavior is just baffling to me i don't understand it it is it is and you know and i've seem to assume that

a lot of other aspects of society you know you see i've seen it with hunters and fishermen as well not just influencers you know where they'll just walk right through someone's private property just to go fishing on a lake or you know it without asking without doing anything like bedlam leave garbage one you know there's a weird culture out there in this country that kind of you know wherever i put my head down wherever i walk i can do what i want interestingly in your article you mentioned call out culture that has been there's been some pushback against those folks who are trampling the landscape just to sell themselves can call our culture help braeden this or is that another slippery slope. well i think that's a really interesting topic and you know one of the benefits of call out culture is it gets people talking we see that not just with this specific issue but you know for anybody who's ever been on twitter we see you know there's a new thing being canceled every day and when you are the subject of that call out you know shaming people doesn't always result in behavior that often causes people

to in turn just hide their behavior and and double down and we get these polarizing situations where it's i'm right you're wrong i mean people getting self-righteous on either side of an issue whether they are right or wrong isn't the most helpful thing for a conversation so even though gets people talking sometimes i worry that they're not necessarily talking about the right thing and one of the things that i mentioned specifically in the article is that call outs can very quickly spiral out of control the specific analogy that i used was there like a snowball rolling down the hill it starts out small but it very quickly games momentum and gets out of control and this gets into the bigger political. point of if people could perhaps use call outs respectfully in an educational way and saying you know did you know that it's illegal to engage in x. behavior in y. location you know i just wanted to give you a heads up that's not typically what we're seeing we see people that get very indignant about how dare you and when people feel backed into a corner they're more than likely not going to respond very favorably to that so i

think part of the challenges with culture is yes it is effective but do the ends justify the means and you know i go back and forth on that because again these conversations are beneficial but on the other hand they quickly often descend into bullying harassment and i don't think that's something that anybody supports whether whether you care about our public lands or not i think pretty universally people are against bullying and harassment so that's where we draw the line and that's kind of why i was trying to propose an alternative solution if call outs are not the answer and then what and this is a problem we see all the time people are quick to point the finger and say this is a problem but they're not offering up solutions so by getting congress who again has a specific subcommittee devoted solely to the oversight of public lands this is their job you know all of that means you had one job congressional subcommittee you are one job is to look out for our public lands this seems like something that you

should be paying attention to i could not agree with you more appeared to break the bill rory always a pleasure having you on thank you so much for bringing it to bruce. thank you. united states has introduced what it calls a new less destructive. more survivable nuclear warhead to its submarine arsenal making a landmark development that some are warning could push is closer to nuclear war on a global scale or 2. story. the united states has deployed its 1st low yield nuclear weapon and while the pentagon claims it will keep americans safe by making the breakout of nuclear war less likely critics are warning it could actually do the opposite the new weapon has been deployed to an unknown location in the atlantic ocean on the u.s.s. tennessee the battleship typically carries multiple d. 5 submarine launched missiles such as the w. 88 warhead which has an explosive yield of $455.00 tons and the

w $76.00 which has an explosive guild of 90 the new w $7062.00 is a modified version that is believed to be around just 5 tons to compare their home a bomb the u.s. dropped on hiroshima japan in 1945 was just 16 tons yet it still devastated the city wiping out 90 percent of its population and killing more than 80000 people instantly and it has gone on to harm the health of countless others from radiation exposure but while the obama administration promoted the reduction of nuclear weapons the trumpet administration set aside $48500000.00 to develop what they call less destructive nuclear warheads in 20 scene the pentagon's top policy chief insisted that the new weapon will keep americans safe because it will deter other nations like russia from launching limited nuclear attacks the pentagon's top policy official insisted that the supplemental capability strengthens returns and provides the united states a prompt more survivable low yield strategic weapon while moscow has repeatedly

said it does not want nuclear war and has offered to renew the last remaining nuclear agreement it has with washing. the u.s. has insisted that it remains on guard and ready to respond to any possible nuclear attacks but critics are warning of the long term consequences noting that by creating a tactical nuclear weapon u.s. political and military leaders now have a dangerous new option when confronting countries that go far beyond just russia now it remains to be seen how global powers will respond to the news of washington's latest nuclear deployment has many question how close the world is coming to the brink of nuclear war in washington rachel love and r t. sometimes we are so plagued by apps algorithms and technology that it's refreshing refreshing to see when someone gets the better of it and that is exactly what happened in germany recently when artist simon we couldn't hack to the traffic jam sensing algorithm of google maps using a very low tech child's red metal wagon and man and i'm smartphones just walking up
