the dow surged more than 600 points at the open as biden super tuesday victories boosted health care stocks across the board. all 3rd assistant professor at princeton university matt carb definitely summed up the reality of the democratic race for the nomination when he tweeted joe biden is getting a bounce today mostly from nervous dems who want to believe that a vote for biden is a vote for unity against chaos but tomorrow will wake a while wake up to a close race not between unity and chaos but between joe biden and bernie sanders made the best candidate win so with biden bernie gabbert and warren still holding on now all set to square off in the broken bottle street fight that will drag us into the convention yeah i think it's about time we start watching the hawks. on a city street. there so you can see that this is joyce state. great city desolate systemic dissent says

so but she's. so. welcome on the watching dogs i am tired and i'm in the chicago and joining us today to help us sift through this fallout from the great super tuesday is the host of disruption now great name for a podcast by the way rob richardson rob thank you for coming on great to be on our a man so the game of thrones for the nomination is definitely took a lot of victims this week but what i'm interested in knowing and from you and the mission is what did you see on super tuesday and the fallout after words that you feel everyone should be talking about but are talking about enough well i mean i believe people are talking about this but the fact is i think by the standards to be extremely worried if you look at states that joe biden won that he should have won that the narrative was a. that well bernie sanders going to run away with it on tuesday think about this

you have you have him losing maine that's his backyard that's the big deal right you know your politics you care you're losing in your backyard no matter what you have to i mean that's just an awful arm sales he lost minnesota i mean minnesota is an incredibly progressive state that's like home territory we talk about they're the progressive the progressive very progressive state if you lost you know we talk about maine he also lost texas texas was he was project everyone thought was going to win texas they looked at nevada and said well let's you know voters are showing andro doesn't seem to be true anymore right that is if you look at when you actually have a state versus a caucus it's very different people are not talking about the fact that ok we have caucuses which i think should be eliminated here or there we have a caucus that doesn't really give you a real representation of where people are at it give you sort of doesn't give you a real sample now we have a whole state is showing that you know bernie is not across the board like we saw you know the young people didn't come out at the level that they did even in 2016

so that has to be you have to be worried about a lot when you're in the center scared right now think the other issue is that bernie put a lot of his eggs in the basket of what he saw happen in nevada and hoping that that same thing which translate to a state like texas texas in the bottom have entirely different make up in the political realm but also in terms of what it takes to get people out the bottle actually has a lot more registered latino than the state of texas texas has gone out of its way to create barriers to the latino vote and i think that even though he invested a lot of money in outreach campaigning there what they didn't do was invest a lot of money in making sure that voter suppression wasn't happening there so they could have used a safe neighborhood and 2nd if you really want to see the type of turnout that was expected the black vote in texas came out loud and proud the latino vote even though it is considerably higher than the black vote for the state of texas at least with greatly suppressed there are a lot of people who stayed home but for the most part i think there was a projection that there are over 200000 latino's in texas who are eligible to vote who are not. registered to vote there was

a huge problem there so whenever you're basing your vote count on that you're going to have a problem unless you figure out some type of way to get all these people registered in time i mean spend one point i want to just touch on very quickly to that i think is a long term problem democrats have to look at them out of voter suppression there's been an infrastructure in place and it's been it's a strategy for the republican party for the last 30 years actually to go back to paul why rich very quickly he said we want to make sure most people don't vote paul white rich people can look it up he's the founder of the a lot of the political conservative movement but this is been in play and the place for a long time people were waiting in line for 78 hours so like if you look at what's happened in general election they're going to ramp that up and they are ramp that out ramp it up and other states it's a huge problem for democracy and obviously the huge it's going to be a huge issue possibly for democrats because what republicans are going to attempt to do is do everything possible to make it harder for potential democratic voters to vote put every barrier they can so there needs to be a long runway of infrastructure and strategy towards that as me said you know it's funny how democrats and kind of ignored that over the years and allowed to really

take a rain check or you know public and play chess. and i don't think that we can underscore i think we were talking about some of the midwestern states earlier minnesota in particular when we think about what it meant to have been a judge in closing drop out part of that both of them midwestern people who honor their midwestern values the entire time they were in the race and basically carried it as their brand for them to endorse biden for at least the signal closer to our part to come out on the night that she that she dropped out of the race and immediately endorse him right then and there and also bring her people to him i think that that mattered i think that her name carry a lot of weight across the midwest and i think that you know her or her supporters and those who supported what looked like a vision from her that they could get behind threw their weight behind by and then and then the other part that the senator's camp i think needs to reassess is the fact that if you look at it there was a story out that they were surprised that so many people coalesced against him so so quickly. why are you surprised like this is. that everybody obvious right.

you've been taking shots at the party which is allowed to do and i can say that probably helped him somewhat but if you're going to take that strategy don't be surprised when the people you've been targeting go after you i mean that's that's sort of been useless all that coming out of play and that's the big power of our party too right take shots of power power is going to fight back but if you're going to have a win this year and when you went down so that you are not a democrat we have to continually remind people that oh this race the people who are currently in it a 5 for bloomberg becoming a democrat well he's out now but aside from bloomberg become a democrat just to get in this race this being the 1st time he ever ran as a democrat in history bernie sanders doesn't identify as a democrat has never identified as a democrat and we think that when it came to voters on super tuesday they also are pragmatic they paid attention specifically in the south they paid attention to his thin resume when it came to accomplishment he says a lot of things he gets far fewer of those things done and they want somebody who is going to be able to stand up against president trump who is going to be able to

showcase their strength in building coalitions bernie sanders is only showcases strength and making sure that he has a lot of twitter followers and a lot of young people and excited online and i will say this be he does have he's tapped into something but what he what he doesn't realize is actually how to use it see this talk of a revolution we do need a series one of those right but like revolution is something is too much in people's minds so really understanding how to frame the narrative really matters so when he he already has this loyal following he didn't know how to pivot to expand is that the real question though joe biden has looked awful in the debates let's be real yes you know i mean he's terrible i mean absolutely awful i mean he'll have a good name i'm a good point but it getting there is a lot more of the process. so can we do we democrats really expect him to debate against donald trump i don't mean beyond like we all don't like what donald stands for and all of that ok fine but when you're talking about your put the showman up against the guy who i mean let's be real he looks and sounds his age. is

he going to survive that to the american people that's tough because i don't think that anybody in the democratic party is prepared to be on to something anybody in the democratic party is prepared to go toe to toe with trump in the big in the way that because democratic party leaders and democratic party officials have been taught to historically debate at a high level to historical debate policy to historically be able to debate and frame all of these partisan arguments together that's not what donald trump does when you're going against a showman like you said somebody who's a reality t.v. star somebody who's here to go out jabs to throw you off of your square that is a very hard thing to do when you for the entirety of your life and political career have not made it by doing so so i think that is going to be difficult no matter who the nominee one of me or look we can be very honest definitely the vice president is fumbled his way to this point i mean the reason why people were worried they had reason to be worried he had this is what do you what do you achieve was incredible no one has really done this about it this amount of come back we had the comeback

kid with bill clinton was in that this level he had no money no money no money no money people on the rally this is all i people like we wanted the president was more of a reject in the standard some way and not as much on what was right because he came down to his standard people are like we know we at least trust joe biden we know he was with obama for these years and we believe we need a steady hand i think there was some of that going on versus this chaotic mess that happen in the white house so your point though yes you're going to go up against a showman i do have some concern about that and i also have concern kind of like me said about how democrats for a narrative that we democrats like to have the moral high ground and i sit by this out there. to be able to write right is right and i say it's enough that we're right but it's not it's not like when they go low we go high no i love the way of lego we should go directly at it tell the truth i love the show but that point holding the party they think of we need to just be right and then everything will be good and it's not true i'm going to say thank you so much for coming down and

always a pleasure having you on again. morris great great insight into the gamma sparing words we predicted earlier this week all is not well with. peace deal yet the appearance that once again the u.s. is dropping bombs on the taliban who we've just signed a peace agreement with. our 2 americas john how do you know the latest. less than a week after the u.s. and the taliban signed that historic peace agreement the violence continues and it's something that u.s. officials and certainly skeptics of the peace agreement warned about that as soon as the u.s. would agree to pull out of afghanistan the taliban would seize the opportunity to attack afghan forces and that certainly appears to be the case colonel sonny leggett a u.s. military spokesman tweeted that the u.s. launched an air strike on taliban fighters who are quote actively attacking an afghan security force checkpoint in the helmand province adding this was a defensive strike to disrupt the attack this was our 1st strike against the

taliban in 11 days the afghan interior ministry said 11 troops and 4 civilians were killed while afghan forces killed at least 17 taliban fighters this comes just days after the u.s. and taliban signed the historic peace agreement doha qatar that and not only ending america's longest running war but also ultimately withdrawing u.s. forces from afghanistan while opening the way for peace talks between the taliban and afghan leaders the u.s. was hoping that the taliban would cease its military operations not only against the united states which taliban leaders agreed they would do but also against afghan security forces in fact on tuesday president trump said he spoke with a top taliban leader who signed the agreement telling reporters outside the white house this i spoke to the leader of the taliban today we had a good conversation we've agreed there's no violence we don't want violence we'll see what happens. with that but we'll see what happens what's happened well

obviously more violence critics of the taliban deal. i have raised concerns that as i mentioned as soon as the u.s. would essentially sign the deal and start to pull forces out of the country the taliban would start attacking afghan forces clearly the taliban have started the violence again much sooner than anticipated further the u.s. had agreed to help secure the release of 5000 taliban prisoners in exchange for 1000 afghan prisoners something afghan president ghani is now saying he never agreed to at least not before talks between the taliban and afghan officials are scheduled to begin next week so this adds yet another complicated layer to the agreement that may be at risk of falling apart colonel leggett added in another tweet today quote to be clear we are committed to peace however we have the responsibility to defend r. and d. as afghan national defense security force partners afghans and us have complied with our agreements however taliban appear intent on squandering this opportunity

and ignoring the will of the people for peace hash tag show your commitment verin lies the problem the taliban may simply not have a pension for peace to quote president trump we'll see what happens watching the hawks john hardy. all right as we're going to break court watchers do not forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on our social media and be sure to sign up for our exclusive newsletter at least slash watching the hawks you can also start watching those hawks on demand the brand new portable t.v. which is available on smartphones to google play on the apple app store you got to get it by simply searching for. the coming up we delve into the role men play in the political debate surrounding the controversial topic of the 4th state to watch .

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race on all sides very dramatic to follow only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. these policy makers are grown accustomed to the idea that every single problem can be solved with money fronting why can't we solve the coronavirus of money printing the market now is starting to scratch just had a little bit and saying wait a minute that's insane so therefore valuations look like they're going to be marked down already in correction territory on these markets down 10 percent are going to

have to bear market valuations down 20 percent probably i think the likelihood is extremely high a 50 to 60 percent drop that's probably a 10 to 20 percent probability. it's in a box set. thank you all thank you thank our the world thank you thank you all this is all the troops say thank you the old exceeds the lower her thanks so much earlier thank you thank

you thank you. thanks thanks thanks thanks it's no secret that roe v wade and the war on women's reproductive rights was waged across the united states decades ago the protections provided under the landmark supreme court legislation are being a race largely in republican led state legislatures with an raving unwavering support from president from his minions and those who like to invoke religion when it comes to women's pregnant bodies but take no issue with not providing food housing or bible education out when a child's home is in the world. folks the same religious right that had no problem voting for and supporting an adulterer with multiple divorces a penchant for lying and a low a porn stars but somehow this group wants to regulate when a woman decides to become a mother from legislative prescriptions on access to forced ultrasound balls and

the cool is a nation of abortion providers the hurdles to abortion access are still in fact more than 2 dozen states have moved forward with abortion bans in the 2 years since justice cavanagh's confirmation to supreme court conservative men seem to not have explained the problem of legislating women's bodies even though most of them can't actually tell you anything about women's health or the myriad of reasons why a woman might seek to terminate a pregnancy in the 1st place but i digress. abortion restrictions didn't start with trump and his band of brothers in fact they've been bubbling up for nearly 2 decades unchallenged at the state level organizations like planned parenthood may roll in scores of women's advocacy groups are fighting back but it seems we rarely hear from pro-choice mitt that's about to change member choice an advocacy organization created in 2015 to build allies in the pro-choice movement across illinois is going national joining me now is man for choice co-founder when

jacobson to tell us more welcome or thanks for having me on the show mary she was definitely most of so obviously i know you were both illinois people here illinois has been seen as a state that is this liberal bastion or you have a liberal legislature it should be very easy to get certain pieces of legislation to protect reproductive rights out of the state of illinois why start illinois and what changes have you seeing there that you think could be extrapolated on some of the other states where the why start there is because that's where i happen to live so that you know sense. look a little bit more a little less than 5 years ago i heard a presentation that was not that dissimilar from what you just outlined which was the dramatic way in which this anti-abortion movement had systematically worked to roll back rights across the country since the tea party revolution in particular in 2010 they talked about jobs and what they really did was went after abortion access i couldn't believe what i heard and more importantly didn't believe that i didn't know as someone who is pretty engaged and the next question i start to ask myself is why did i not know and are there more guys like me and then looked around and

said there's just not that many of us here why not because this is an issue that affects all of us but most of us treated as if it's just your issue of the ship that's very true and that's one of the questions i think that's very important you know there's a lot of good guys out there you know what she wants to do their bodies up to her should be her choice how do you get men involved in this movement and why do you think the there are so many pro-choice men who are. silent for so long yes so if you look at the polling on this 6 in 10 men in america believe that abortion should be safe legal and easily accessible in most or all cases 60 percent that turns into something like 61 ish 1000000 adult men in america what we believe in what we've set up the organization to solve for is that men don't engage for basically for specific reasons they don't actually know what harm is being created they understand abortion anderson roe v wade but they don't understand the harm that's being created by the rollbacks 1st and foremost number 2 they think this is

a gendered issue number 3 they don't understand how to engage it what do i say how do i do what's the right role for me in the space because let's face it this isn't about me i shouldn't be centered we should be centered in this conversation and number 4 they don't see a place to naturally or comfortably and because guys tend to do stuff where other guys are and so we've tried to provide them a home that's ultimately just a funnel to the folks who are most directly impacted and the organizations that are leading the fight we're a partnership organization our strategy is simple get more folks like us to help the people who are really on the front lines and what would you say is the value of male influence or syria gates and others 7 in defeating anti jewish legislation so as a starting point you know you talk about the religious sort of baseline of this i want to specifically name something which is this legislation is built these efforts are built on and about are all around controlling women's bodies right it is frankly

sexist it's massaging the stick it's patriarchal who's in control of the system. who's passing the laws who's on the courts it's guys i wish that more men just naturally listen to you 30 right and in fact a friend of mine once said to me i'm mad that your organization exists because i'm mad it has to exist exist i tell my boyfriend to give money to planned parenthood he just knots you say. hey let's go do some fund raising for planned parenthood and comes along because now he's a part of something else and that was really telling for me in multiple ways one to understand that yes we aren't listening and really we're not listening because if you're ignoring your girlfriend there's a real problem but 2 men have to do the work of talking to each other i can't fix the society in the structure but if you and i can have a conversation in which i can help you feel more comfortable i can bring you with me i can make sure that you know how to say how to talk about the issue and then we

go get a voice we can go take on those other guys you know that's what's interesting too is that. you know i think a lot of the problems to stem from the fact that men aren't allowed to kind of we're not in a situation where we feel comfortable talking about this especially from a young age you know and so what what steps does your group and others take in kind of building that strong male pro-choice advocate who knows not to take the you know take it away from him that people should be talking to some of the conversation but can be the right kind of ally for sure for sure so we just actually released as part of this campaign the 1st ever starter kit for pro-choice male allies you can go online the men for choice dot org and you can literally download a tool kit that we've created in partnership with dozens of organizations across the country so that we could take their voices translate it into the language and thoughts that we have as male at identifying allies and help people through that process there's a couple things that i think are the most critical one is i'm saying the harm as i

mentioned to is shifting away from the notion that this is purely about abortion and purely women's issue yes this is about abortion. but but beyond that this is about freedom and it's about control can a person be free who does not control their own body their own health care and their own reproductive decisions and the answer that question is unequivocal you know which also means that you and i have a freedom and they are right that to me sure you don't you need to have a lot of freedoms is the right but yes this is definitely one of your organization started 2015 years that was really the georgia heart beat legislation that was pre the human life protection act that came out of alabama basically it being all forms of abortion in practice do you think things are getting worse for women and if so what are some of the what are some of the avenues that made her choices taking to actually try to squash some of this because we're seeing it spread across the country. do you think they're getting worse remember based on the scope of the legislation. a major supreme court case today right being heard on the at this that

is essentially the same exact basic bill or the same as that piece of legislation that was ruled unconstitutional out of texas a few years back what's change to new dude on the supreme court that so you know and so if that if if the louisiana bill gets. is allowed to move forward it's going to unload unleash another wave of abortion bans so the answer your question is yes it is getting much worse for access to abortion which also means it's getting much worse for access to basic reproductive health care where men for choice comes in as we're not leading this movement we are partners and allies only and whatever you say in the show is needed whatever the organizations in the local level tell us are necessary our job is just to get more men to show up and support that so as an example in georgia we're going to launch have a launch event in georgia in a couple weeks here on march 14th all our strategy there is to mobilize people in

georgia to support the organization organizations in georgia or and i want to say thank you so much for coming good stuff from a great great organization keep up the great work. i read treasure island front to back at least 5 times when i was in 3rd grade i know. that's the kind of stuff home school kids are made of guilty well that book created my older will mean fear of the black spot a place of no return sudden death or just mysterious disappearance won't the black spot i feared wasn't real thank heavens in a galaxy far far away the black hole is hundreds of millions of years ago a massive black hole in space blue gas into the atmosphere the flare up broke records the energy from the explosion put the sun to shame. krakatoa is the most powerful eruption in the universe some 2016 researchers have noted a cluster meeting gas about 100000 light years from the central galaxy curious
