join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. ratings and salyut ation. who controls the past controls the future who controls the present controls the past not wise and politically astute observation by the great prognosticator of us politics in the 20 percent of the one and only george orwell as been ringing in american ears up with a president the united states of america the brand name and cheap himself one and only donald trump stood in the hollowed echoing halls of the national archives

museum and declared the following. mostly away the twisted web of lies in our school classroom. and teach our children the magnificent is about our country. we want our sons and daughters to know that they are the citizens of the most exceptional nation. in the history of the world. the most exceptional nation in the history of the world he says greeks mayans chinese incan romans de gyptian all child's play compared to the dynamism the last 250 years the united states of america. but according to donald trump and many others that exceptionalism oh he's under attack and black lives matter and are destroying our streets and our statues because the true patriotic history of the united states

is no longer being taught in schools oh my goodness what will we do that is the reason that all hell is broken loose in 2020 yes instead of patriotism and being taught in our schools about it has been replaced by cancel culture critical race theory and the new york times 1619 project and the dreaded teachers of howard zinn and his dreaded people's history of the united states but fear not because the great leader has a solution a pull proof answer to the great empty void of patriotism currently in us schools. only. identity as americans that is why it is so urgent that we finally. patriotic education. under our leadership the national endowment for the humanities has awarded a grant to the development of a pro american curriculum yes enter the 1776

commission a presidential commission to promote a patriotic education brought to you by. tick tock yes tick tock i mean seriously after giving his blessings to the purchase of tik tok by oracle the intelligence or reports the president demanded that the companies involved in the venture must pay the u.s. government 5 $1000000000.00 to fund his new as they say or at their authoritarian light national commission to support patriotic education. as orwell's the most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history. and that my friends is why we must always study the past and continue watching the hawks. if you want to know what's going on a city street you want to see. the missiles you like to see the rises you always

stay i'll see you roll strikes mass graves see desolate systemic deception is still a show but she's. so brings up guilt as. well that we're going to watching the hawks i am tyrol the entire time of it and joining us today to discuss the $776.00 commission president and trump president drums calls for pro america pro patriotism curriculum in public schools as author and professor of media studies at georgetown university the one and only chris chambers chris thank you for coming on today. thank you so chris 1st as a as a university professor a teacher but also a father whose own child graduated from high school just a few years ago do you find a staggering lack of patriotism an anti-american sentiment in our education system today was it in your son's history school books. well i mean to read well what's

being taught now is 1776. there is a lot of rote memorize that it's been it's not without also the. dates and names a lot of old kind of troops that even you know the most i would say. who serve a bit of history departments in the biggest universities don't even follow anymore this is from the college level. to try to marry it's not in there. so i mean we're. already and it's not helping a lot of kids who are going to college and are not. professors there get any. older white male professors who were giving them what they should have been getting from the 1st place which is facts and you know studied you know.

born out. studies of what different people's different trends warders. economic policies lack of the economic policies so i don't you know this is just a. culture war red meat reaction and also a way of draining money from sort of to. and i think that you're absolutely correct in that i know that when i was in college i learned that rosa parks didn't you know not give up her seat because she was tired and you know her well that's where by you told me and i was surely shocked and upset but i have a question for you in james loans famous critique of u.s. public school history books lives my teacher told me he could teach the 12 most used american history textbooks famously wrote that they are an embarrassing blend of bland optimism blind nationalism and plain misinformation weighing in and

average of 888 pages and almost 5 pounds professor chambers what do you feel are the biggest problems with how u.s. history is taught today. will again there or you know our model or with whom. wonderful. goal would also hold people back in a way sometimes we try to jam tomorrow. to make everybody happy rather than trying to harness the universal. truths universal that's when they did universal because the 1st know that. if we try to explain that we don't even that. dig that stuff up but with it being inclusive the goal is a factual is a reality dangerous notion of what this country is about and how it was started and

where it is we can't just sit back and say oh we're going to try to buy everybody. that's the wrong way to do it the right way to do it everything no matter how ugly piece it together put it together so people can look at it and then you see everybody or you all right now we're not. we're either trying to have 11 voice or 1000 voices before we even begin. a great point to bring up and i have to ask why is being honest about our nation's past and present things just as important as honoring the nation's accomplishments and that's when we need to have both the good the bad was that. well and it would have been you know different parties have a different narrative different political leaders have a different narrative you know that's what's going on here that has nothing to do with. even the $1619.00. or time projects really didn't start out of the

curriculum and never really went off of that way until. you know this is. going to american culture but it's really talking about. the. the republican even the struggle in these there which i don't understand why that's the. you know. it. is it's coming from that direction now what you do with that reality what you do with the fact how you you know we need then to a narrative that's politics within. i mean that's the demagogues on the right there. it's really sad at the end of it because i think we're getting lost in all this is exactly what you said it's like children and people growing up still need that base level of this is history of as we know what happened right now based on

the evidence that we've accumulated based on the testimonies from the time based on all the bases what your history is you can't whitewash it in one sense and make it all golly gee great patriot and exceptional and at the same time you all you know you have to show the reality of that and it's i think it's dangerous when we get into that world where we're ignoring one over the other. very good and evil the good. the merrier. and the trials and all. that is wonderful what we're doing right there may be wrong or wrong law. oranges during the. war and you know i didn't understand why. the. situation. there.

and also. over what a mammal. all of them there. and they all have any opinion of why the war started what happened in reconstruction. and then. why their friend policy in south carolina. was. not i don't think what he was was. what. laurie right there truly is i mean. at the end of the day you cannot mandate pagers and the government should never mandate patriotism a government has to earn patriotism chris thank you so much for coming on a magic a dinner audience today and keep up the great work out there. thank you.

previously we covered the police shooting of lyndon cameron a 13 year old unarmed white autistic child just outside his home in salt lake city utah well this week the body can put age of the salt lake salt lake city police officers involved in the shooting have been released and the answers they provide just creates even more questions are to america's natasha sweet as the story and a warning the video you're about to see may be disturbing. approaching your old autistic teen is fighting for his life as salt lake city is now working to improve its police force according to the mother it all started after her son desperately needed help for his mental state of mind having seen the passion automatically when you're pretty sure you're barton says she called police to assist her with getting her 13 year old son limped into the hospital as he suffers from mental illness thanks sensory disorder. which

is like anything but instead when he ran away from officers one opened fire shooting linden leaving him seriously injured. the family attorney for linden said he's lucky to be alive after suffering pierced organs and shattered bones a go for me page has been set up for lynn's medical expenses bartlett said her son had threatened to shoot her male coworker and possibly had a b.b. gun but wasn't certain police chief mike brown responding to the incident saying mental health is a crisis in this country and too often officers are called to deal with difficult problems the. they are not criminal in nature i am very saddened by this tragic situation. the 13 year old girl is shot. and as a father of 3 young sons this is have

a big impact on me personally the mayor saying their city is at the beginning of an evolution of change in the way they address public safety as a member of this community and as the mother of a 14 year old boy. i am profoundly her broken and i am frustrated it's not the only time officers have acted quickly during a mental health circumstance earlier this year daniel prude was killed by rochester new york police he was experiencing a mental health incident after ingesting p.c.p. officers restrained him and put a spit hood over his head after he began spitting it reportedly held pruett face down for 2 minutes 15 seconds and he stopped breathing this week subpoenas have been issued for the city council's independent investigation and you may recall in 2017 in miami officer was acquitted after shooting an unarmed caretaker of an artistic man the caretaker charles kingsley was even seen on the ground with his arms in the air while the salt lake city officers who arrived on scene did have

some mental health training but were not considered to be specialists and authorities say that there was no indication to believe the boy had a weapon other than the mother's concerns reporting for watching the hawks and sweets. and they wonder why we want to be from the police 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 not to download it and start watching coming up legal journalist molly barros joins us to discuss the latest on the great supreme court political square dance currently taking place in washington d.c. surrounding the ruth bader ginsburg m.l. break you see there stay tune for what you. are.

cast calendar is dark alfonzo a long day and there's change in page dard served. his 1st words were added i will see you're a challenging post you've got 2 years to move.

i have no doubt that what happened was criminal. defense calls in trade market is a $1000000000.00 industry these companies how does huge financial motivation to sow these problems there are numerous talking showing that doctors were keen to chest x. ray concentrates for insights of its own that patients won't give them doctors the wrong stoplight. term why they're keeping them secure those who use data. on people still die i don't know which question were still alive aren't being allowed to live where so many have. segregated and in my social class laws fail fast people thought also in poverty

they 1st blame if you're born into a poor family i ask your born child minority family if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life chances people die on average 15 years younger they have warnings of generational poverty. it's a fun stuff fight every day seem to meet your needs and the needs of your family. shots seem wrong. why don't we just don't. let me. get to shape out these days. and detroit equals betrayal. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground

. the showdown for the u.s. supreme court vacancy left by justice ruth bader ginsburg is one set for the record books democrats last lifeline to stall the vote is over there's no hope left for 4 republican senators to shut down a call for the vote senators grassley romney and gardner all support trump and leader mcconnell spurgeon in selecting a supreme court justice in advance of the 2020 presidential election even though the options look stark for democrats in protecting ginsburg legacy but also bad of obamacare gay marriage rights roe v wade and women's reproductive rights there might still be time for a last minute hail mary if truck pushes through justice but loses the presidential

election democrats will be in a private position to go nuclear and with tight senate races and democrats poised to pick up seats there are a couple possibilities to salvage the supreme court democrats are having talks of expanding the court by adding more seats which is perfectly constitutional democrats could also push for statehood for puerto rico and washington d.c. providing for more democratic representation in congress and lastly they could add a rule change that would in the filibuster but all of these options are contingent on the results of the 2020 alexion in november democrats don't only need the presidency they need the senate as well. both president trump and joe biden are very aware of this trump is using the supreme court nomination clock to his advantage he's ramping up a base let's thirsty to in women's right to choose he's speaking directly to the religious right appealing to a racist fight fervently against civil rights and using fear tactics to drive up turnout providing he's laying traps lies bare from covert 19 to the economic

recovery biden is also working to mitigate what looks like a crisis mode for democrats with a ship in the supreme court threatens everything he's running on the stakes they couldn't be higher for the supreme court the future of america and the republic for which it stands here to break it all down for us as legal analyst molly baron welcome ali. well molly it's a sad day depending on who you ask in america today marked the end of hopes for democrats of getting to for republicans to shoot down a vote on the next supreme court justice we need democrats specifically assume that mitt romney will be the dissenting voice and he wasn't what does this mean in the grand scheme. of the grand scheme i think it all that ensures that whoever nominee is going to get confirmed and it's going to happen quickly given every indication they don't want to wait on this to happen and they want to get it done as quickly as possible and know what's going to be interesting though is that it snows for

when they can get things accomplished when they really want to you know it's certainly a stark contrast to the and then president obama tried to nominate merrick garland they're like oh no wait it's 9 months that was one election year we can't have them in there. with the next president to you know no such qualms this time around that's for sure these republicans but that republicans you know used to move on at the end because the election was and i think that's going to draw some are what you're seeing now some democrats are in reading shows that you get it done when they want to get a budget brought up a great point there it's amazing that congress has the ability especially the son of to do things because normally they just kind of don't especially under mcconnell or just it just doesn't really do much trump has options here are arguably the most options so you can choose to call the senate for a vote within the next few days which it probably is what he'll do it is going to make them eligible for a friday or saturday or you could do this during the lame duck session what are your thoughts on not only the timing of all of this you know kind of

a hollow bellew over the scope of somebody and how will the potential tilt the court and essentially affect standing laws like roe v wade or that we've seen them rule regarding obamacare or things like that like how will his nomination affect the court. if it's you in so many ways i mean especially the fact that you know our did not want this by all accounts you know they're trying to say that her family was wrong that she'd. pick the nominee so you you know you've got that you've got the fact that she was that republicans about what they did in 2000 it's being compared to what they're doing now that's galvanizing voters it depends on who trump picked i think that the overall goal it would indicate is that they're trying to move as quickly as possible i would think there's probably a lot of market research being done right now by both democrat and republican leaders basically determining what's going to galvanize voters the most do they want to pick a nominee that will roll republican voters so much they're just going to turn out waves in the polls if they aren't already in this name for democrats if they want

to pick one that i going to be so polarizing to democrats that they're going to be like heck no we're just going to organize and we'll vote we're going to stop to this or do you get your nominee and we're going to do everything we can to change the makeup and add more seats and this that the other so i think that there's. you know a lot for them to consider and that's certainly what it talks to talk about with roe v wade you know some of the nominees that president trump has put out there not the top enders but you've got like cruz the in tom cotton and they've you know trucks that seen if he got a chance he was going to pick judges that were pro-life as you well and certainly cruz and tom cotton said that they would overturn roe v wade in a heartbeat so that's galvanizing voters already in it in another it's much it's now and i think that if republicans are smart which it seems like they're trying to go this path of just getting it done with as little parts really as possible when it's already so controversial they've got to pick a nominee and it's going to be more middle of the road i would think to try to fix the money that's going to have perhaps create

a lot of controversy and slow down the nominating process and molly do you believe there is a valid argument to be made for going nuclear we talked about this a little bit but democrats have the option of expanding the size of the supreme court or adding puerto rico and d.c. to increase their leverage in congress do you think that that is something they're actually really interested in doing and also these are going to come across every few years i think that right now we're watching them kind of tick up just because of what's being faced by the supreme court. but to areas like the fan puerto rico that have been trying to get representation for decades now do you actually think that we're going to be closer to that. you know that's a great question and i'm not entirely sure about puerto rico and d.c. if that would actually push their agenda forward because this is certainly an opportunity if they've got lobbyist in high places they need to be working those things right now but you know certainly when it comes to that there's no question that there's democratic outrage and they've got to use whatever leverage they've got to try to you know push it towards their agenda but i miss already dead in

previous you know times that he is not going to back the court that he doesn't want to tip for tat that you know if he does add more judges posing he does win the presidency his focus is going to be on stopping donald trump's nomination and if he doesn't land and certainly democrats have that option try to you know add more seats to. add more states in order to swing it but you know biden our president can't if the democratic side has basically said i don't want to support that because i feel like if we move that direction it's just going to create this animosity in the next time the republicans have the white house they're going to back to their favor as well that it will just keep going on and on forever but i think that there's a lot of press that is in democratic leaders who feel like adding those making those to you know they also adding you know stacking working a lot of hearts the is a way to retaliate and show that we do have some power because i think there's this big feeling that this is just the big this play of the republicans flexing their muscle it's just a big power play that they're in control and they're in charge and i think that's

what's frustrating no matter who they pick no matter what nominee it's going to be frustrating to people who are looking for a balanced approach that hey you guys can get it done when you want to but you're not getting it done unless that fits your agenda and that agenda doesn't seem to be the american people it seems to be staying an hour and does that benefit the american people and that's what i worry about with voters are they really educated enough or critical thinking enough to realize the complexities of what this is this and could mean and just the you know. you talk about bright lines but you've got immigration where you're separating families are you sorry i just know i know but you great only are like when they're in the pro life when they're at the border i mean it's you bring up so many great points and so much more to get into and i wish that america wasn't purposely dumbed down the way it is by our leaders to where they could ask those great questions and be educated by those things that you brought up and say we want that some of justice thank you so much once again legal analyst molly barr as always a pleasure having you on. oh thank you. already voted out of our show for you today

remember everyone in this world we are not told we love you all love you. and i keep on watching all those hawks out there and i'm a great day and night everybody. stock market. the economy has undergone a transformation become a plaything for speculators fueled by incredibly egregious money printing by a rogue central bank and this is causing all manner of dislocations malinvestment and societal changes. cash cow and. alfonzo among. those chasing peach dart. are. his 1st
