you. greetings and sell you taishan. you know it is it is truly tragic my friends it is tragic that the spite all of us living in the middle of a pandemic despite over 20000000 jobs being lost in just april alone despite more than 75000 us citizens losing their lives to cope with 19 it appears that here in the united states of america we still have time for some good old fashioned racism and murder i'm talking of course about the 21st century lynching of 25 year old ahmad arbor use attackers 64 year old former police officer gregory mcmichael and

his son travis were finally arrested this week after assaulting and shooting the young black man down while he was out jogging in glynn county georgia back all the way back on february 23rd i say finally arrested because for months police and prosecutors in georgia despite having video evidence to the contrary were content with giving the mcmichaels a pass why because while the father and son dynamic duo of white privilege basically loaded up on guns and stalked our breed down after he committed the most heinous crime of jogging past that while black the new york times writes the gregory mcmichael told the police that mr r. berry looked like the suspect in a string of nearby breakin. and that and that excuse was apparently all georgia prosecutor georgie barnhill needed when he argued that the father and son zach. sions were legal under state statutes on citizen's arrest and self-defense

and that the under mr r. bery had initiated the fight with travis mcmichael and was thus allowed to use deadly force to protect himself. boom case closed except. except for that darn video of the shooting that found its way out of the darkness of law enforcement coverup and in the light of public scrutiny and it's in that light that we begin our show today so let's start watching the honks. what's going on in a city street you want to. see as this you always stay i'll see you always. great seeing displays systemic deceptions late show which. so brings up the joke as. well who have been watching the fire over there and i'm in the chicago and joining

us today to discuss the murder of mr r. berea more of the civil rights turning out of minneapolis minnesota the chemo levy armstrong and author and salon dot com editor at large d. watkins thank you both for joining us today. thank you to. the i want to start with the release of the video showing the the murder of constitutional attorney daniel horowitz the news you know he basically the news of the charges being brought against mcmichaels 2 tweeted out something very very interesting let's take a look at this he tweeted the righteous development is not attributable to a video it's attributable to a video that prosecutors have a lot of things to view becoming public that distinction should concern you a great deal that is one of the real ugly realities in america is it not that unless you've got video of a white on black crime it is rarely prosecuted right be. seen in the biggest

problems that exists in this country it's like you know so many people are racist but nobody wants to be called a racist or see as greece is even though. all of the time like you know without technology and cell. so many police officers who are now incarcerated will be free so many people who committed these heinous types of crimes will be in prison right now like they should be this week because of technology this is extremely say i've tried my best to click away and watch it with this video every time it popped up because i've seen too much heard it all not even thought about it outside of a neighborhood who might not. want to use the limit i've been around in a part of so many murder scenes that i just i you know i try to look away from it when i see it but i'm happy that this video you know is out there so even if these guys are able to beat the system as they already have to be already should be in

jail you know at least people know what's going on. absolutely and the talking about beating the system is something that we see regularly when it comes to cases like this up and it came up their original georgia prosecutor on this case cited statutes on citizen's arrest and self defense as reasons to not bring charges against the mcmichaels this sounds an awful lot like the defense used to justify the murder of trayvon martin are these self-defense laws being twisted into a new version of jim crow. and all we mean when we natalie is that when white person decides that they fear a black art an unarmed black or something then the law or whatever. to try to justify both martin we've seen in cases like this involving whites it will be you who felt that they had already to take out our very life as well as when police walk with your shoes on and what they plan for it was

a law saying that they are saying and standing in the threshold whoa when it comes to and knowing that these folks will be right in front of their peers so let's think about it it's very possible that in. then make michael's and apple jones that they can have an all white board which could also and we can result in them actually not. quite so we should celebrate this unrest that was long overdue it's a travesty of justice that it's almost here but this is just one part of the battle out home will be whether or not. a jury at their peers actually believe that they will just lie in murdering an unarmed man that. you all want to just real quick i want to ask you is the is the victory here in the key is the victory here that some point or the idea of where we're going towards that at some point it doesn't take

you know everyone from the bron james and even taylor swift to speak out about this is that but that it shouldn't have to take a video in the 1st place i mean is that where where the victory is not where the end game or the end goal should be for everyone involved and everyone speaking out about this is a should not to take a video it should not to take problem of celebrities it should just people shouldn't be shot just for jogging while black. and white. oh. so. you know her. and if they had. in meaning and it really doesn't matter but there it you know it or not right i mean he. yelled at where black people have been you know by far or otherwise and that you. know for many a black flag watching him or oprah know for it and i get actually bad and not he

will watch the video every time he came up and might be. there with the triangle but i had to watch you know it's hard. but we're not saying it will marry it's people that know you know we saw you on mcdonnell. you know 16 sat in a corporate a while back. and yet they. are charging. against. me. it's not just in force and no matter what i'm what are very internet. hope that made it very long. and they were joined at the top i totally agree and videos definitely don't they don't guarantee justice like this still has to be like you know that's more than a video of it was like dozens of people. saw for a brick through the bat into the back of that police hit 1st people saw it people

think you want it and people saw it and get almost all 6 of those officers involved in their home or deal are still employed taking a salary off of my tax dollars so videos videos definitely don't guarantee justice but at the same time i think this celebrities you know when he shared his videos and when they talk about it it does help like you spritz awareness like it gets a lot of people to be involved who normally would be a part that be i literally set down you know with 3 people down one not 2 but 3 people that can kind of dash and help get out of prison so it's like celebrities have platform and sometimes these systems inspire he says listen to celebrity celebrities more than illness and like activism people advocate for locked out that's forgot 30 years know about the drug crimes we've been fighting to get him out because he's part of something he's got caught up in something anything and

even do. you know ads out i wish i could get him out a phone. you know in other disturbing news just now coming to the surface back in march in the seattle area community health center the focus on native american care and b c news is now report. in that one stuff for medical supplies they were sent in body bags and stabbed it now while they're charging about a simple delivery mistake i want to ask that came as a supporter accurate representation or metaphor of how communities of color of been treated during this pandemic. and absolutely and i don't think it was an act or if we i just know that a lot of times our own people with people of anger and it's people dying right if it weren't will be looking at such significant social and economic and criminal justice dispiriting rappel who want to. and a lot of the inequities aren't won't they happen to our generation after generation

after generation and we're seeing these disparities and exacerbated in light. of the night and so it's really unfortunate that racism and white supremacy still will today and the fact is someone will not stand being body bags so when native american organizations but it is very symbolic in terms of what people are expecting to happen in our communities that are persistently being under served in war and like. andy if the united states war against kobe 19 following the same path as most u.s. wars meaning the ones buying it and the ones most brutalized by it are once again the poor and the working class. absolutely you know those black people who have been on the front lines. delivering of packages and working at grocery stores and fighting to keep what parts of america functioning that is still able to

function you know to chris think about this administration is that everybody knows that out of jobs is a reason people know right this is a racist but it's like they were doing extra hard to prove that the extra resources like the congress is not enough. well you know i didn't think there were he says it's like a brand new level because it's probably maybe like a new over this is a war like a racist pulitzer something that they've gotten for going to get it but it is really frightening what it really was that i'll this is all playing out. and you do i think you see that pattern over and over again i want to ask you quickly what the global bit of time left what started with your day what do you feel has been the most important but under-reported aspect of the united states is handling of this pandemic what should we be talking about that we're not. we should be talking about how important it is to have good leadership everybody wasn't president that they could have everybody talks about a president that's funny that they can relate to their only uses monosyllabic words

like that well when things like this happen you kind of don't want to person sitting across from you drinking a beer you want somebody with a genius who has the ability to get ahead of these problems and solve them so the country doesn't shut down so you don't go into a recession is going to turn into a depression so that american people can actually work in feed their families does what you want you don't want to got into a bar who's drunk off a cliff lights because it's just ridiculous doesn't make any sense and that's what we need to be talking about how important leadership is when it came a little bit of time web same question to you what's being under reported that should be being reported more in this pandemic. well i think that article is up. whack and brown and the media about the fact that our government it's like to die when they open up and they know that our communities will be disproportionately impact. our debt it's fortunately and in many jurisdictions so far and

so we have to let our people know that at the government relaxes restrictions and encouraging people to work you know that you know that we need to actually raise our guards make sure we're wearing pants when you make sure that you know we're close. thank you and then are exposed right you need to protect me and that were mean and. so we have. got to expect that couldn't agree with you more than us we promote myself and a measure couldn't agree with you more all right thank you so much dee watkins and the chemo levy armstrong always a pleasure having you on educating our viewers thank you. thank you. thank you. all right as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand for the brand new portable t.v. app which is available on google play on the apple app store by searching portable t.v. or you can stream us to your t.v. if you want to watch the big screen by downloading the portable t.v. app on apple t.v.

neighborhood postal service this week the united states postal service board of governors announced on wednesday that they voted in greensboro north carolina businessman lewis to joy is the new postmaster general and according to the washington post this new appointee will become the 1st postmaster general in 2 decades who did not rise through the agency's ranks but being an outsider isn't the only how shall we say interesting aspect of digital a's appointment is the fact that mr joy only real qualification for running the u.s. postal service is the loyalty and the money he's given to president donald trump and the republican party according to the federal election commission joy has contributed more than $2000000.00 to the trump campaign or republican causes since 2016 including a $210600.00 contribution to the trump victory fund on feb 19th joining us now to discuss this latest round of washington d.c.

kuoni ism is the host of big picture on r.t. america. hello hello hi i'm so it's been forever i think you know john. i miss you guys but i am so glad that you are in front of this story because when people lose saturday mail delivery and when they start closing post offices. capitol hill is going to get an earful on this and by then it will be too late very very true and i want to ask you can you can we can you get any more blatant cronyism than what is being displayed in this appointment i mean the guy gave over $200000.00 in february and now suddenly he has a government job in charge of all of the price gougers. right out and planes. site and you know what gets lost in all the noise to things the post office doesn't exist tax dollars that's what washington calls off budget they make money by selling postage and last year they did over $70.00 b.

$1000000000.00 in revenue let's also remember that the u.s. postal service which used to be the post-office department until 1971 the postmaster general was a cabinet secretary now it's the postal service it is the number one employer of veterans and everything was fine until the 2006 postal accountability and enhanced men act and this is a rip off that no private sector business could survive the post office which pays its own way and had funded its own pension fund as we go is forced to prefund 75 years of retiree's health benefits and amortize it in 10 years which means not only are we paying for people who are not even postal employees yet we're paying for postal employees who aren't even born

yet so this was the titanic this was bound to sink the postal service and it was a lame duck republican congress that gave it to us. and holland we know the high price of loyalty came in and some pretty big gains for people who are you know aligning with president trump and doing what he wants what do you believe is the motivation behind this specific appointment many are saying appointing a republican crony could have to do with the president's recent paranoia over vote by mail. yeah well expect the new postmaster to be a union buster and look at the flip side of your question the grudge match against jeff bezos who unlike trump is an actual billionaire and owns the. breaded washington post and the hobby horse trump has been all along is that it's a rip off that the amazon deliveries are accomplished by the post office the amazon business was a godsend at the time when email and p.d.f.

and all the other ways we get in touch aleck tronic lee really drove down the 1st class postage business it's part of a 25000000 packages that the postal service will deliver this week and any number of analyses have shown that it's not a rip off against the government that this is a nice chunk of change for the post office now you know when you talk loyalty and campaign contributions you know fed ex and you p.s. have got to be feeding the trough but the joke's on them if the post office gets downgraded because your us postal service delivers to every address every day monday through saturday and now they're even delivering packages on sundays it's what's called the last mile and amazon and fed ex and u.p.s. write that last mile they're not going to every house every day and suppose the

post office gets downgraded or even limited and private enterprise takes that over what do you think a stamp going to cost then i can't even imagine i mean i think this is one of those classic moments where you know everyone talks about we need privatizing smaller government the post office is one of the most important staples of government and i think that you hit the nail on the head all in when you said you know big go where everyone else won't at the end of a baby it will hit every address within their capability they will do that how important going forward is that we need to save the post office or at least reform the post office so they're not having to pay that way you mentioned earlier of 75 years in advance of retirement. yeah that bill. ought to be repealed. just makes no sense the post office is a retirement plan before that was perfectly well funded pay as you go like any normal business would so i'd be screaming bloody murder to my congressmen and my senators about the so-called postal accountability and enhancement act of 2006

because if this goes away that amazon order you just ordered the fed ex are expecting i live at the end of a dirt road in the smallest town in the smallest state in the usa what kind of a surcharge are people like me going to suffer oh private enterprise takes this over i can only imagine i'll chip in if it happens i'll make sure you get your mail oh and all right thank you so much for coming out of the holland coach the host of the big picture over that guys or i miss you guys. and finally today are to america of course one of john how he brings us a fascinating look at how the past is influencing the present as prehistoric bird fossils are being used to potentially help with modern aviation and yes even drone technology take a look it's called a pterosaur and who's basically a flying lizard for more than 200000000 years ago that could be as tall as a giraffe weighing more than 600 pounds and was one of the earliest known

vertebrates to have evolved power in flight researchers from the university of bristol published a review in the scientific journal trends in ecology and evolution about how the pterosaurs unique multilayered wing was structured possibly allowing it to launch from a stationary position and then maintain stability in flight dr michael habib is a paleontologist with the dinosaur institute at the natural history museum of los angeles and a co-author of the study pterosaurs had a very unusual winning is unique to them that was muscle and skin and other tissues soft tissue stretched from 11 sort of a series of bones we costs far for the from the federal embassy a giant finger the 4th thing is huge. it's just that for thinkers that's the hind limb and that means they had to have very sophisticated ways of testing this in dealing with this fight creation problem and they were probably better at any other animal has ever flown so not only were these gigantic flying dinosaurs able to

solve parallel asked to study problems over evolutionary time but they were also in the size range of modern military and commercial aircraft in particular unmanned aerial vehicles or what are commonly referred to as drones it may seem a little bit weird to go into the fossil record to look at inspiration for human designed aircraft but in fact if you want that size range and you're interested in that kind of problem that's the best place to look dr have bieb says some of his recent research is currently under review by the u.s. army and that nasa has a project in prototypes drawing from the pterosaurs launch and we are opening mechanisms using their legs wings and fingers to launch from the ground into the air an aerial mechanics like that dr habib says could one day be used by a drone or other aircraft to perhaps get out of a crater on mars just one example of the very distant past playing

a role in launching flight technology into the future for our t.v. john hardy. about a lot of us some serious sized dinosaurs right there is because of modern jet that is amazing this might be my favorite one i'm upset you got. to develop good about all right everybody that is our show for you today remember in this world we are told we are loved so i tell you all i love you i am tired rover and island keep on watching all those hawks out there are never a great band but it. kaiser

report never fails to deliver the goods you know we've been saying now for a few years that ultimately they're going to $100.00 trillion dollars japan's already dollar percent debt to g.d.p. on their fed's balance sheet kuroda their central banker has already taken their central bank above 100 percent of g.d.p. in terms of debt that's buying a lot of junk a lot of assets so merican at 6789 trillion dollars they've got another 60 trillion to go the globe is set to go to 100 percent g.d.p. debt to the balance sheets of the central bank.
