11:30 pm
there would be no protests do not do not tell that to the state government of tennessee who apparently believe that the only way to stop protesting is to make it a felony yes under a new law signed into being by governor believe the 1st amendment sprayed him speech in assembly is now a felony offense and the bollen tears state the associated press reports that in a direct response to black lives matter protesters who took up camp and part of the state's capitol building over the summer tennessee's new law are now states that those who illegally camp on state property would now base a class felony punishable by up to 6 years in prison rather than a misdemeanor and as a cherry on top write in time for this year's controversial lections an important elections and any protester convicted of this new felony crime would effectively
11:31 pm
lose their right to vote you see felony convictions in tennessee and in many other states across the country often result in the revoke ation of a person's most basic right here in the united states of america and that is our right to vote to take part in our government in response to this new law the tennessee executive director of the a.c.l.u. heavy weinberg said quote we are very disappointed in governor lee's decision to sign this bill which chills free speech undermines criminal justice reform and fails to address the very issues of racial justice and police violence raised by the protesters who are now being targeted. and that my of ren's is the real truth we are seeing across this land rather than take responsibility and fix a system of institutionalized racism and wealth inequality our politicians are quick to take the old easy way out with empty court corporate gestures of equality
11:32 pm
and outright criminalization of protest unless of course your protest is sponsored by you know coca-cola mcdonald's or lockheed martin then it's ok black america so is yet another black american is tragically gunned down in the streets by those who protect and serve in our bill of rights is quickly becoming a list of potential felonies. i think that's a good time to start watching the hawks. on a cd you straight want to. see is this your state seal. graves saying this latest systemic deception is a late show which i will so you'll. welcome everyone to watching the hawks i am tired old winter and i want to cross a major there's incredible way people are protesting people are taking to the
11:33 pm
streets so what is our response we're going to look at this problem head on we're going to take on racial injustice in this country we're going to you know really get to the root core or we could just you know make it a crime to protest we will about to be redundant if it's interesting because we see hash tag after hashtag name after name dead men black men and women who have been violently abused at the hands of the police and the refrain is always reform reform reform we have this institutional racism that exists within this institution has always been there and the answer from legislators is seemingly let's punish the protesters isn't that weird to me i mean yes we've seen you know people go do stupid things burn down a gas station i mean you know i remember back to ferguson was like oh my gosh they burned down the local gas station and all they looted target are all this and that these things are separate though from what actually is being protested those are those are acts of rage from an oppressed populace but the protests are saying we
11:34 pm
need these actual changes and start now we outlaw the bill in tennessee also imposes man the mandatory minimum $45.00 day hold of convicted of aggravated rioting whatever the hell that means you know you can call anything aggravated rioting you look really angry while he was running down the street it hansen's the fine for obstructing emergency vehicles from accessing highways and requires a court to order arrested. for damages of state and property that's like a new tax i've noticed no i don't want to make the protesters pay for whatever happens if it's convenient and problematic because we were talking about this earlier i went to a college town was a member of a sorority for attorneys the crazy things on campus all the time and off tennessee titans should the tennessee titans go to the super bowl or get close to it people would lose people would riot people would act crazy and none of this goes into play when it is any type of action that does not involve minorities in my freshman is that we keep seeing all these laws enacted specifically because president trump has
11:35 pm
gone out on this law and order ledge to basically punish people who he deems as not worthy of protesting or people who are using their voices in a way that he does not like that's so true and it's now it's like ok 1st let's you know beat people with you know fire chemical weapons in the crowds tear gas there's a chemical weapon now anyone who shows up to the crowds we get to arrest and say they're felony and then take away their right to vote because a lot of if you get a felony conviction no matter what it is one of those 4 you lose your right to vote which i think is wrong in the to begin with oh it is inherently a problem and we know that because of who was getting punished in this way versus who isn't this this just adds to the voter disenfranchisement the african-americans are already facing you should not pay for losing you all right to vote when you're out here protesting like it i don't think that that should happen to anybody it's offensive it's demonstrative really horrible but it's also one of those things where these people are protesting to get the government to pay attention and in turn your response is to remove them from having any level of democratic action
11:36 pm
right right was put them in jail anyway we're just we're doing this work seems to be our go to in this country over the last 2030 years of anything that we don't understand or can't figure out on a social level or can't fix on any level well we'll just criminalize it and throw it away and anyone who deals with that will just will just pretend they don't exist it's interesting there's a map. well you see tennessee is one of 21 states that actually punish felons by taken with a right to vote and then 15 states you can see here 15 states have an active anti protest laws according to the international center for for not for profit law those are the 15 states where you see massive amount of laws are being passed at least one up to 456 that literally criminalize acts of protest this is i guess it's pressure because i'm waiting to see that where the guys who showed up and the state capitals with their guns they were literally threatening legislators because they didn't want to wear a mask or that because they wanted to go and dine in a restaurant when coburn $1000.00 with at its peak in the united states nothing happened but these protesters who are literally protesting to save our lives so
11:37 pm
that people pay attention to the fact that black people are dying in droves at the hands of police officers. and turn what do you get the exactly congress in one eye on a presley some people are taken notice she actually tweeted out saying voting is an act of resistance if our votes didn't matter they wouldn't work so hard to silence those by the way this is unconstitutional and against the law i think i am as correct because this is going to get thrown out in court at least i would hope so but it's going to get challenged you know somebody is going to get arrested for stating this occupy style protest of the test they're going to get thrown in jail and then eventually you know hopefully it will get tossed out as being a cause to believe is just trying to get patted on the back from president. that they're going to go it already. well as i stated at the top of the show injustice is what drives protests and tragically 2020 continues to be a year running on the fuel of injustice this week in the citizens of commotion
11:38 pm
wisconsin joined a growing and tragic list of communities across the united states of america whose streets were a blaze over the weekend after local police shot down jacob blake an unarmed black american and the unarmed black american who according to reports was shot 7 times in the back in front of his 3 small children and what great crime did he supposedly commit all my friends he tried to break up a fight between 2 women. artie's true chavez has more on this story and other similar cases taking a place across the united states now i guess more must warn you of course of the videos in this package you see are probably very graphic. today disturbing video of a police shooting going viral the footage showing 29 year old jacob blake walking away from kosha officers police quickly follow him and in their weapons the encounter quickly escalated. loud screams can be heard as police
11:39 pm
fire at least 7 shots at close range appearing to be shot in the back his 3 sons reportedly witnessing everything from the backseat of the car it is unclear at this time if officers saw weapon according to reports police were responding to a domestic dispute call on sunday however that part of the incident was not caught on camera of. the shooting sparking outrage police met by dozens of demonstrators at the scene of the shooting some throwing rocks bricks and at least one gasoline bomb other videos on social media show multiple fires burning and police firing tear gas the commotion county sheriff's department issuing an emergency curfew until 7 am monday morning the governor tony evers issuing a statement well we do not have all the details yet what we know for certain is that he is not the 1st black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country blake now at a milwaukee hospital in serious condition while an investigation is underway by the
11:40 pm
wisconsin department of justice into why he was shot so many times the officers involved in the incident have been placed on administrative leave and in lafayette louisiana police arrested several protesters over the weekend for blocking roads and throwing rocks and bottles at police the demonstrators clashed with riot police following the police killing of a black man who officers say was armed with a knife and resisted arrest the suspect was shot almost a. dozen times meantime in portland oregon black lives matter protests ongoing for 88 consecutive days over the weekend demonstrators facing off with police officers using tear gas to disperse demonstrators law enforcement declaring a riot for the 3rd time in 4 nights reporting in new york trinity chavez r.t. . injustice and protest all across this country and they did really gets under my skin where you always see and say well the protesters were throwing rocks or something like that. and it's like look the police are showing up dressed like
11:41 pm
storm troopers ready to rock n roll and rubber bullets and tear gas these these 2 things are unequal and are ready to incite and see what happens anyway a lot a lot of what we're seeing in some of these protests that you that are amplified on television is that you have these folks coming in who are armed who have all types of all types of weaponry and some chemical as well and they are just waiting for that moment one that can become sizable enough to where it goes viral and they can create an excuse it's problematic because there are some sympathizers to that who will say ok well now i'm deciding between where i'm standing on the side of the protesters or the police and they just need one clear shot for them to be able to take the wrong side. what's under reported in the media too is the fact that look a lot of times i can't tell you how many times in the recent new york city protests that wouldn't matter protests there were they trapped everyone on a bridge how many times we've seen videos now were officers are going up the peaceful protesters shoving them hitting them with the baton spraying them with
11:42 pm
tear gas rubber bullets everything else under the sun your pepper balls and those of these people who are being peaceful these people were they were simply voicing their opinions that is no longer something that apparently is protected we we like to say that it is it's one of the foundations of our democracy it's constitutional right yet we see it being thwarted every single day with extreme violence and that's what. we've talked about it before on the show but it's so true when you don't hold people accountable for their action. which is what you're doing when you're saying hey it's ok for police to like button somebody or put down a veteran like we saw in oregon recently you know who's literally just standing there practicing their constitutional right when those officers out how accountable i mean in new york i think the last count as of like mid july was the only bore officers were held accountable during all of the abuse protesters took over those times when you when you ask that question why do protesters get turned violent why do things like that look to the authority figures who should be there every time we've seen cops go out and march with protestors whether they truly meant men in
11:43 pm
their hearts or not the the cause you've never seen that kind of reaction people said ok we'll be ahead and i will be peaceful exactly in that community aspect that feeling better actually hearing me goes a really long way in preventing all of this. already. well my friends as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on the man through the brand new portable t.v. which is available on all platforms so you have no excuse never leave download it. coming up off their own public can go on and for dell joining us to discuss his new book titled the antiracist definitely want to check out this interview so stay tuned and watch from the.

11:45 pm
robot must protect its own existence as only. one. who put it over here they have so being you. know yes for wrong. yet sweep. for on we've gotten pretty busy work to repeat here i just can't do a pretty good work this way yet sport so you're going to look here just below 30 q. the words for. these are the stories of men who come to magic in life without fashion without a sense of style without things that might be seen as weakness in this masculine world but they still demonstrate incredible strength of spirit to live as they
11:46 pm
choose. to call them doesn't use. force for. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those words. saying. we dare to ask.
11:47 pm
the new jim crow national and international protest against police brutality ongoing civil unrest in a constant state of 2nd class citizenship are the norm for blacks across america white supremacy is embedded in the nation's founding the architects of america's constitution and racism itself permeates through our health care system schools criminal justice and finally in 2020 there seems to be a glimmer of hope but can america live up to its ideals of freedom and justice for all or even unity inequity with mounting calls to end state sanctioned police violence and a litany of hashtags of murder blacks whose lives were snuffed out with no regard for their humanity what message is america sending the disparities are glaring predominately black us counties are experiencing make the fold higher kobe $1000.00 infection rate the predominantly white counties blacks still face significant
11:48 pm
hurdles and access to voting rights and president trump and the republicans assault on the post office is just another lever in full scale voter disenfranchisement and even though many businesses have suffered due to code 19 black businesses were hit the hardest. the national bureau of economic research found that we want percent of black owned businesses that's $444000.00 enterprises have been up and compared to just 17 percent of white owned businesses. black folks bore the brunt of america's scores of racism for generations but it's shocking how many whites are just now waking up to the blatant inequities for god that while blacks and several groups of well meaning supporters challenging the status quo are protesting in the streets the tropic ministration his supporters are labeling them as anarchists and peaceful un-american and i'm patriotic we're clearly at a breaking point a new book titled the anti-racists how to start the conversation about race and
11:49 pm
take action breaks down racial injustice is the harsh realities facing blacks in america and what we can do to move the needle forward towards progress author and poet juande joins us now. welcome. don't over good thank you as always for coming on. so from the looks of it your book had a lot of interesting chapters so very interesting it leaned heavily into an environment that created the government sanctioned police violence in the 1st place and shows how this isn't really a new reality at all considering the current environment what key events or things that you draw from when you were composing the book. so. i thought i wanted. to keep takeaways from this book is me using my experiences and a lebrecht or add that i you know came across and dory and during the suffering you know that after face run at the bottom on the suffering that i face now and the suffering that many black americans faced artist country and coming up with ways to
11:50 pm
help people come back races out there and racial injustices that's going on in this country for one example and i only mention it because you know your show the jacob lake video right and for me that's depressing champ in the videos of people who look just like me get tortured and murdered when i know firsthand the gestapo about a police fail like i still had to scramble people in my nightmare as you know that . that i lost to gun violence i don't need to see videos of black boys and girls in america to know that bottom on roughly has 300 people murdered a yeah i live here i walk the streets are feeling i don't need to see bloody bodies on a concrete to believe was going on because i know like the thanksgiving table shrinking fat you know what i'm saying like the friendly a group photo of start a band it's like they won't be screaming congratulations when you are crossing state you failed at the numbers you got saving
11:51 pm
a phone won't paying again send you gotta be wow who had to anti-lynching campaign but she knew that she had to go all the c's the speak that truth because the people in the south with them with the lynch and so bent you know they didn't threaten the murder bottom news robert they need pitches if they were smelled of strange biggest amount of strange fruit hanging from a tree you understand what i'm fast so so i'm charging everyone else and i'm also asking myself these questions like what are we really don't want shanny's video while we still shannon we got aka out for hundreds a year that show what it looked like. you know what a man and don't want to people sack one of them what is it doing to people sacked you know psychologically if i see some i get murdered today you really think i want to be a surrey on facebook and i'm really in of a bible scripture not trying to mount a feast on my head get blown off or my. one is done and i did that during a storm to my next question i have a because you bring up these challenging questions important questions both major
11:52 pm
political parties democrats republicans are being called upon right now to address race based violence white supremacy police brutality and other civil rights abuses do you believe activists right now are asking for the right reforms what are the right reforms we need in this country to survive going forward because that's the biggest thing we're not going to survive unless we write these wrongs. so this is this is what has to happen that i believe the way say and i make it i make it extremely i try to be. strangely clear and you know i don't have a one size fits all solution but i can't say. i didn't believe that mass incarceration was a real thing although i knew people including myself who are arrested in jail for crimes that we did not commit it was difficult for me to understand that millions of black people got a rash that because of an agenda i knew that the county and private schools were better than the city schools but did not know that that's what my error rates look like i just always thought that it was something around
11:53 pm
a black people sort of painted on the door without any truthful context as the why that painting this is what form and nor should races add as to it you know what i'm saying actually some i get shat miffy some i else get shot the smart thing for me to do is go to go get a gun now i'm stan alert they say i got arrested with that gun now people from moscow don't call me out of the know but knuckle get when i actually out of the i'm just trying to protect myself or my grandmother because the do the cross street guy shot my notes with no context the wattis trouble reality of the so honestly one of the one of the major things that i feel like we have to do we have to teach the truth we've got to be honest about why ancestors and black ancestors why are we here why is it that growing up in school my 1st time having a black teacher was in the family great personal great school why is that. you know what i'm saying like the situations that they claim is too hard to talk about
11:54 pm
a lot of them will be ready for this conversation but it's like what so you know what i said i feel like one of the main one of the main takeaways from the book is that we got to be honest you know when we teach and as teachers i we look at teachers that their academic god you will get beat you bitches but if you disrespect and teachers don't listen to teachers they out academic god but they also miss educated. you want to say norris races not be honest in the classroom and not promote creativity but conformity we should out every day and it's like how long does it take you to ride through these hoods rhapsodies projects to realize what they teach you at the academy oh what you learn to have to fill those positions not going to work how long do it take you to realize that that your house is on it how long do it take the police officers who want to be whistleblowers at the 15 years it took to 15 is to be a bottom of the city police the realize that the game is dirty and try to take that
11:55 pm
long while you stay that's that's the real tragedy. so obviously this is an election year so i have an election question for you a lot of a lot of criticism have come to president trump and i would argue it's very much deserved but the state he's not the only races president we've ever had nor is he the 1st races president america's ever had but in recent years after the civil rights movement post a lot of what we saw in terms of progress president trump and his administration are rolling back or 30 boarding some of the most foundational of rights that blacks have gained do you think america has gone too far and what will it take to bring freedom and justice for all can we get there. i failed. you know trump. we need a truck. we need a truck just like we needed obama to show that. we gotta show that the american bottom straps work so we give
11:56 pm
a black president you know what to say we pushed him and we got him there and you know try to say in. ignorant race is sometimes not ignorant very intentional. america and greatest hits you know what i'm saying from every every have a president that came before and we get that from a playbook so no it's just showing people that we have not made as might racial progress as we go because people weren't running around and where people weren't. and where you know what i'm saying and i could be able to contain you know what i'm saying but he ignited that claim of what i would add of people who are already felt that in that year. that yes that is what it is it always been that way it always has been a way of saying it lad that we've that we that we now we got to see true because we want to break the man don't mean now face mold up and we had
11:57 pm
a vet out of we people out you know and i couldn't agree with you more and i got to say people definitely pick up this book the anti-racist how to start a conversation about race and take action could want to thank you so much for joining us. most. everybody that is our show for today remember in this world we're not told we're loved enough so i tell you all i love you i am tired relevant and i keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and that everybody. has changed. the pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs people who. believe that their prescription is working for them and the remedy.
