yes the records these. are abandoned on the streets. visible to us. greetings and sal you take us on a previous episode of watching the hawks we covered how the united states was running a wild west style smash and grab when it came to securing valuable medical supplies during this pandemic germany brazil and other countries around the world were claiming that the united states government was either swooping in and out bidding them after sales were already finalized or the us was just playing down right stealing or as we like to call it here confiscating everything from face masks to ventilators as the item sat on the tarmac in china waiting to be shipped off to the country that rightfully purchased them well appears that there's no holds barred

loop grab perpetrated by the united states bedroom government has of course found its way back home yes multiple state officials and local health groups from massachusetts to illinois to texas have been sounding the alarm that various federal agencies have been scooping up shipments of personal protective equipment and other valuable medical supplies for quite some time now according to a letter published in the new england journal of medicine by a medical doctor andrew artin steen with the bay state health of massachusetts 1st after spending valuable time just trying to convince the f.b.i. not to confiscate his shipment of k n 95 respirators and face masks he was then soon shocked to learn that the department of homeland security was still considering redirecting his p.p.l. . only some quick some quick calls leading to intervention by our congressional representative prevented its seizure others my friends have not been so lucky

remember back in march massachusetts governor charlie baker revealed that a shipment of 3000000 masks were seized by dorothy's and then later at the beginning of april in new jersey freeholder director chanel robinson announced that a shipment of 35000 masts had been scooped up also by federal officials. these actions by the fed seem to fly in the face of the great brand name in u.s. president battle drums continued orders from up on high for states to be responsible for securing their own medical supplies and not reliant on the federal government was how can you do that donald when the federal government keeps out bidding or outright stealing from them with no real explanations as to why so it was a good time to start watching the hawks before you know the feds come confiscate all of us. if you want it was on a cd you st you want to. be so let's see this is joyce

state. rice grace see this least systemic deception is complete so which. some but you'll. welcome everyone to watching the hawks i am so i wrote for inter-island so major there are just snatch and grab and go across the country now for the last 2 months or so absolutely and hit the thousands externally crazy but when you see it in action it's a whole different level governors are trying to protect their their p.p. equipment trying to make sure that they have what they need especially those in blue states because the president trump has announced that he's really not trying to help them and and i think that you know what we're seeing happen in real time is something that we haven't seen in this country before especially not in pain to make times and then maybe even in my home state of illinois we've seen j.v. pritzker actually announced that he was not going to share any information it was

something that was leaked but he definitely wanted to make sure the illinois residents were protected and he knew that he couldn't count on the federal government so he actually got supplies from china and thinker and they were secretly flown into the state to make sure that the child administration wouldn't compensate them that's incredible would you have governors like secretly flying in supplies just to keep. as for from stealing them and then the crazy thing is that the feds haven't given really many good reasons as to why they're doing it they still in confronted it's kind of like well you know all to mentally the state got what it needed to over here after the fact or whatever even confronted at the international level as to why we're suddenly scooping up as we kind of don't really get any solid answers at least i haven't seen any of the research that i was doing to be able to try to find a good answer from the feds no we're absolutely not getting those answers and we've got the other problem is that the federal government has pushed back in many times that the request that the states are having so remember of that the better later requests that came from new york all of a sudden we hear no they don't need those ventilators they don't need this p.p.

equipment somebody somehow is at these hospitals p.-p. equipment so they want to deny those requests so what does that leave states to do other than to try and find this stuff on their own and the problem is the states don't get the luxury of the federal government they can't create money to buy things they can't just go to the fed and say print to subsume more money you know the states can't do that they can't deficit spend it's a lot of times in their very state state constitutions that they can't do that so they're dependent so when they're being outbid or having to outbid the feds or other countries or whoever that's all coming out of that state budget that they can't get back you know and that's what's really bad colorado was in the process of buying ventilators when fema swooped in with them and just took them away governor jared polis declared either be in or out either let us know what we're going to get and when we're going to get them or stay out and let us buy them but you can't play both sides and that's exactly what trump and the federal government congress and all them are doing right now because no one's put a stop to it and the governors have spoken about this and they've sounded you know

loudly that they are not in a position to compete with the federal government in the open market for the reasons that you just stated you know and journalist david wall as well as actually wrote in new york magazine he really kind of sum this up i think really good in that article he said we don't know where these supplies are going we don't know on what grounds they are being seized or threatened with seizure in the absence. of an explanation it's hard to come to any conclusion other than the this is simply a mafia government exerting control for the sake of control and that is a scary thought in a time of crisis that that's how far this country is fallen and that we have no real recourse what happens when the government is actually the federal government is actually putting the states in a very tough spot because they're not supplying this material to them at all they're ignoring the request they're ignoring the requests for funding as well and the states have to go on their own but now you know the federal government is jumping in and stealing things from them as well as some other countries you know what for those of liberty and that like you know for those of the liberty of those who lean on the right and go republican this is something that you should be up in

arms over this is something that you should be screaming at donald trump and congress in the middle saying why are you doing this the fed should not be coming in and doing this whatsoever i'm a states' rights person you know where all those people sounding off against this i'm out here and get out there let them know where this is not good they choose their protests this some they chose the wrong one this is per true. while kobe 1000 tests remain in short supply and funding for virus treatment is dismal at best president trump and conservative activists across the country want to open america a.s.a.p. and who better to kill to carry the message and told the line than chumps favorite crony attorney general bill barr falling under the weight of his ill informed commander in chief a crazed conservative activist barr is now threatening legal action against state governors the attorney general of the united states is willing and ready to encourage enjoying lawsuits brought on by upset citizens over the business restrictions put in place to save their lives meanwhile the top administration

refuses to accept its own culpability in ignoring coronavirus alerts from the world health organization china doctors and scientists leaving america behind in preparedness and relief but rest assured trump found someone to blame china and the president's minions in conservative states followed his lead missouri attorney general eric schmidt filed a lawsuit against the chinese government tuesday accusing them of lying and covering up the coronavirus we might be in for the longest election cycle ever as the blame game for corona virus and economic fallout its cause rages on joining us now is our team america correspondent. thanks for having me guys always love coming on always a pleasure. so what is this lawsuit and why now so it's interesting so as you mentioned. turner general eric schmidt he is leading this case after talking with economists at the university of missouri where the state is

actually looking to get an upwards of $44000000000.00 now missouri is the 1st state to file against china and to seek damages in this way and it could be the 1st of the many states doing this now according to the lawsuit it reads quote during the critical weeks of the initial outbreak chinese authorities deceive the public suppressed crucial information arrested whistleblowers tonight human to human transmission destroyed medical research had millions exposed to the virus and hoarded protective equipment causing a global pandemic that was preventable now today the chinese government called missouri's lawsuit absolutely absurd saying that it's purely malicious violates basic legal principles and that the chinese government has sovereign immunity because you can't sue an entire country now this lawsuit will face a number of a pole battles because of that but the missouri a.g. says that he's already one step ahead of this arguing that the chinese communist party is a non-state actor and that it is what gives him the legal argument that they can sue china because the united states and loves its frivolous lawsuits. was

a steve 1st of many lawsuits coming down the pipe great question tyrrell and you know what actually it was announced this afternoon that at the time of this broadcast the mississippi will actually be also filing a lawsuit their state's attorney general saying that they too have suffered because of this outbreak but now you also have both missouri and mississippi say geez they're calling on their states congressional delegations to back a new bill put out by republicans tom cotton and dan crenshaw that would amend the foreign sovereign immunity as act to create this narrow exception and to allow people to actually sue china people suing china now this bill is modeled after the justice to get sponsors of terrorism act which allow. americans to file civil claims against a foreign state for any injuries or death and that was passed 4 years ago with 97 of the 100 senators saying yes to it. and that's a lot of attorney attorney generals and lawsuits you now have bill barr saying d.o.j.

is looking into suing state governors right and this is actually interesting because this is all over the clashes between president donald trump as you mentioned trying to open up the states and the state governors saying no and how kind of to respond to the whole coronavirus most of it you know with most if not all states are on lockdown and both trump and bar say that businesses they need to have more freedom to operate and trump says that some governors have gone just way too far actually even accusing governors of keeping their people on quote house arrest now we have the c.d.c. who is as far as we that's who we look to as far as you know seeing this research and one that's going to peak as far as this outbreak but there's new surprising coming out that it's a for a form of national defense scientists at the los alamos lab in new mexico now these scientists they consistently beat the c.d.c. when it comes to forecasting infectious diseases in particular like the bird flu ebola unfortunately these scientists go all the way down to the hour of when a virus is at its peak for new york state alone the forecast says that there is

only a 60 percent chance that infectious the infections have peaked and they also forecast that major populated states could be on this quote house arrest all the way until the end of 2020 they're even forecasting you know schools are going to open this fall so it will be interesting we're in for the overall you know it's interesting to look at the chinese lawsuit there just to touch the really quick but i am fine if we were going to have the ability to sue other countries than the united states we can we we have to but allow other countries to sue us for our actions while we can you know we can't have it both ways we can't be good oh ok you know but if the iraqis bring a lawsuit against israel we do. in the iraq war no no no no no we're not going to consent to that you know i mean you know it's absolutely ridiculous but man alive really more lawsuits that's what's going to solve this problem and you know what's interesting is that you know china has come out saying that there is absolutely no way with these allegations the w.h.o. you know they could actually take china to the international court of justice but

here's the cabbie out here people you have to consent to go to court who's going to want to consent to go to court you know you've got a traffic ticket and they say get get to court me show you can be like really have to go that's kind of the old think it's also then to is it's like i'm tired of the scapegoating you can't hold china accountable for our employers structure failure you can't hold china accountable that are you know health care industry was a mess that our economy was a mess that all of these things were a mess that then led us to the state that we're in today you can't hold them accountable our initial really slow response to that was of the intelligence community of other people who had said even the americans working at the show said even all the way back is november that they were telling us. and congress that hey this thing could be coming down the pike might want to prepare for it and speaking of coming down the pipe you know not just these states and possibly the idea of you know american citizens suing china you also have germany now that is wanting to file suit against china for all their wrongdoing and they're asking for

$162000000000.00 and it's kind of one of these things again china has to consent so is going to be dead on arrival most likely yes you know it's going to be hard to bring a lawsuit don't want to thank you as always for coming up on that goes a pleasure all right as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand through the brand new portable t.v. which is available on smartphones through google play and the apple app store by simply searching portable t.v. or you can stream us to your t.v. by downloading the portable t.v.'s apple t.v. . portable. the yes this app will be available on more devices coming soon him. coming up here on watching the hawks it appears that there is always time to rattle a few sabers for war and former cia agent whistle blower john kiriakou joins us next to discuss what could be the next big u.s. war during the pandemic stay tuned to watching all.

taxed as a financial survival guide stacey let's learn a salad fill out let's say i'm not sure i get an earpiece andris of the fight 9 whilst it's hot thank you for helping. destroy that's right. slavery. use to do most of this sort of thing the. supreme being me with who we heard. mama she said that's. going to get it. here definitely walking into the word don and we no longer. you know what we're looking. at what she needs to break the back. goose chase possible. so.

all right earlier in the show we were discussing the recent protests popping up across the united states over the covert 9 teams stay at home and the social distance distancing orders and how the motivation by many of those protests were a direct result of the manipulation of the u.s. populace is fear of tyranny and loss of liberty and will stay at home mothers and social distancing for the safety of the community are not and should not be cause for constitutional concern that doesn't mean a citizen should not remain vigilant in their protection of their most basic of rights in a time of crisis taking our eye off that ball is how we got stuck with constitutional shredding laws like those found in the patriot act and that is why many are starting to raise the alarm over the potential use of u.s. military personnel here at home in the battle against this virus newsweek reported

recently that the u.s. military is preparing forces to assume a larger role in the coronavirus response including the controversial mission of quelling civil disturbances and then forcing the law a mission that the military has not engaged in for almost 30 years joining us now to discuss the dangers of deploying the u.s. military here at home in a time of crisis not for freeman a member of the coordinator committee for the black alliance for peace and that always a pleasure having you on sir thank you it's always a pleasure to be so i want to start with just give people an idea of what are the major potential dangers found in you. the u.s. military not just the national guard which is under control of state governors but the u.s. military army navy air force in operation with domestically during a time of crisis. these are people who are pretty much training as

to confront enemy combatants as you will and really thinking thinking that or being trained dentists who have the disposition of the people that they're fighting or confronting are less worthy of humanity or life and liberty and so when you put that on the street and i again we have to remember that in the united states for it was colonized people black and brown working class people already you know who are under a police state situation so that the danger in what you asked of you describing is that we can there will be combining the mentality that is fostered in military training to fight so-called terrorists in whatever you can before you see communists and people who are not as worthy combining that with the sort of inherent. racists attitudes in class this attitudes of the u.s. with its force that is a very vigorous cocktail. that has there been any part of examples where the u.s.

military would use the mess to clean at a time of crisis and is there as if this story of presidents for that kind of the point. there's been a few yes. we can look at it it's a few katrina hurricane jeanne and when that happened there was a number of people who were scrambling for survival and having to scramble and get whatever they could and it the military was sent in there and then if you people some people may not remember how old people are but we used to see in the milk in the media. reports of people who didn't invent a link when you really talked about. dire situation people really just trying to scramble for whatever they could to live who survive and in that instance if they were really brutal and it came had to come out later instances of people be x. just the still alive viable felisa military on the one instance it was

a man who shot in the back and then they proceed to kick kick him several times. then another other instances are going the right making incident there were people who. you know of the. pressure cooker was all faster the beating of rodney king and a lot of the verdicts were really on people felt they didn't like the verdict still it was that they were rebellions we call the rebellions the price because people rebelling over centuries of police brutality not incident but in that instance they also brought the national guard me there were there were fatalities in terms of those exchanges and then during the same the rebellions on dr king when dr king was assassinated the same thing happen and there were also. due to you know the police didn't in the military mix and the and we you know black and brown people get the worst end of those. that makes it scary because you see the idea being floated and kind of

a common allies that order to move language of the media in with more than a good healthy percent of the new york city police department officers recently reported through the illness or self quarantine of the good numbers like over 15 and even higher police absentee rates elsewhere an opinion piece that mia washington post help pontificated about how active u.s. military members could potentially fill the role those roles of the police writing quote they might need to backstop him back to a police force as a hard hit communities might soon need major assistance with patrolling the streets and forcing restrictions on the movement to turn to crime and other tasks there's a pretty unbelievable why would you believe that this could actually be a realistic possibility given the current state of the country to the bay is this something that we could see. oh i think there's no one there talking about it and i think the washington post piece you were talking about was coauthored by 3 people and they were they were it was that of they still make themselves the police

department i think it was a new york city police and they were all from they are all now are people who are consistent to the u.s. army and i think it was a cult is that in the u.s. i was about 3 ethics 3 people who are authors in that internet. article and what they're anticipating and i think there's also historical precedent in that and move we need to remember that the. there he values after that in the 960 s. f. the dr king they didn't really report they do write reports every now and then the . key to try to figure out the root causes and how to deal with riots or maybe avoid them and there was a call to kind of chemistry 968 and still one of the things that it showed and it was pretty i think certainly done report was the type of civil unrest that we could see the type of dissatisfaction with basic things that we now know are going to be . are going to be. costs. we're going to look at

32 percent the top of their predicting a 32 percent unemployment rate the biggest ever seen since the great great depression there scarcity of food because of the supply of food are being disrupted because of because of the cold in $1000.00 in the distance and if you will be out of work there's a system the capitalist system and we have to attribute it to debt is not designed because we don't see that this thing out come with the same situation another place that is not designed to handle the type of or not designed for me out of cooperation that is needed even on the on the domestic level where all the countries people are people are involved in organizing prostitutes and a lot of east. certain sayings and events to be able to manage things on in a way that don't make it very serious that they're going to go to the supermarket maybe more distance regulated fashion to keep things calm and said here. the

powers that be are sitting in a straight to the status quo or people are seeing that in the biggest fish is east of the net and sort of capitalism and they don't walk that's when it's become even more fun and more so will they not instead of feeding people instead of housing because they're seeing the u.s. response to this but it's not for us that they don't do they don't want it for themselves but they can't last because it was against capitalism so their response would be to send in the military and the police to try to quell dissent well basically we have a we got a good divorce lawyer but you are there are going to iowa nurses were emerging through the barriers about kind of i thought it was sort of where i was going to have a lot of agreement i was closer. to you. when i was growing up my own are always going to be dinner that side of the carrots the little league was as you get older you're going to need them because you're right i go get a chin well up to something age related macular degeneration

a bet 11000000 people in the u.s. and that's 196000000 worldwide sadly aside from changing the perceptions of the surgeons with a little more going to prove the possibility that not much can be done to save your eyesight until now in a new paper published finding researchers show innovation in a treatment age related linus' in mice in the study commercially bogus afters were transplanted into the eyes of a 14 blind mice to see that it was the work of it and it worked the process animals creating replacement ceteris near a process called the logical conversion it's cheaper faster and inoperable by ethical and legal order things can be really poor we sell to reverse into the late iteration is a marmar will that. but i feel about the policy no more we are living in the dark already in an already illegal world you can't see. everybody that alerts or you can say really you know this world you are not told we are loved and upload tell you

all i love you like you are a pearl river and i'm a photography but i want to go to hospital the early very early. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy thing for him to let it be an arms race in his off and spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all.

get to shape out these days becomes educated and gain from it because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. somebody. just let me see yes. i was on the floor some days in my bathroom you know trying praying. i. mean once there's time for us to die worms i was having chilling fever i didn't have any sense of snakes or smell has been the most human world would you. recently she you know sometimes or just used to.

that was time when he was on the grounds of the research. i have heard and. push myself to do for me in the 58 i'm going to. go. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability space for man a more equitable and sustainable world. they claim their production is completely harmless. us. companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something this must be done even and i mean look.

you missed me didn't. understand it looks so good and. after weeks of lockdown large parts of europe announced that anything restrictions facing a hard choice between kick starting their colonies and putting lives at risk. also this hour french doctors petition the prime minister to boost the relatively tiny payout for medics working on the frontline of the country's coronavirus battle . it is not right to keep these doctors in a humiliating position both in terms of status and salaries. and the u.s. senator calls to blog chinese students from studying the sciences in america in case they steal a corona virus vaccine even though it hasn't been invented yet.
