moment allowed him and asked for the last 70 and seeing and on the day to day with the facts. commission soon. going to shift. in the. least you. know new guy so said i'm not going much to. back. which is that it's fine moods and atmosphere highly and with geology and it's for water oh shoot since you're in need. of those for biology is just far beyond our wildest imagination.

and readings and sell you taste. my friends things are not going well in trump country this week not only has the brand name and cheap saw rudy giuliani be mr smee to his captain hook get struck down and hospitalized with cobra but trump also saw his own hand-picked supreme court viciously strike down the 1st wave of the president's legal efforts to reverse the results of the you know member election but now the united states house of representatives in a supposedly be top roof majority passed the over $740000000000.00 national defense authorization act and yet another act of defiance to the now lame duck president.

you see trump had made it abundantly clear that he would veto the bill a at the did not remove a provision to rename military bases name for confederate generals yeah because apparently we need to keep that and it should also have included a repeal of section $230.00 liability protection for social media companies naturally the donald is none too plus as the end mal waits a vote in the senate where it will more than likely get passed through the democrat out of washington representative adam smith the chairman of the house armed services committee gloriously amounts to throw up on high but today the house sent a strong bipartisan message to the american people our service members and our national security are more important than politics yes far more important than politics they are and apparently far more important than the american people as well because while congressional democrats and republicans apparently can come together and sing kumbaya over handing the military industrial complex more than

$740000000000.00 of our tax dollars they just they just can't seem to find the money or the time to pass a bill to protect and fund the millions upon millions of americans who are heading into the holidays that are unemployed and have over $5000.00 in rent due yes $5000.00 behind on their rent the washington post reports that according to moody's analytics nearly $12000000.00 renters will owe an average of $5850.00 in back rent and utilities by this january. that my friends is why we are always watching the horse. you want to go on a cd you street you want to. listen to what she says see the prices you always stay on see rolls royce gracie see this least systemic deception is the

late show which. some billed as. welcome on the watching the entire world winter and i'm on the sole means to look at this they can come together magically to give about 740000000000 to the pentagon you know. millions upon millions 12000000 americans can facing eviction come january but not enough money for them can't get along and you know twitter is a blaze for good reason because this is something that the american people have been a crying about now for months and something and it's a cliff we all saw it coming predictability in june we knew it was going to happen before right after christmas and i think that at this point there is a level of desperation that should be understandable most of these individuals don't have another lifeline we're talking about many people who have been unemployed their unemployment is about to run out we're talking about people who don't really have savings they've already burnt that we're talking about small

businesses they didn't get those p.p.p. loans people are desperate right now and we have 8 congress that for whatever reason life to talk about the american people or what the american people need and want but when push comes to shove have a very hard time providing basic necessities at this point because we have country after country where we've seen over 1000 hit them as well and they've done a far better job of taking care of their of their people than america and the tragedy is felt like we've talked about this subject at least $34.00 times this year because it's always seems like that we always as a country have enough money for a 1000000 zillion other really interesting projects that come down the. congressional way when it comes the passing of legislature but never for the actual like needs of the american people and i wonder of nature is that why we see so many people now so blinded in their kind of love with trump that they're buying into the idea that oh my god the election was overturned because we're talking about an oppressed dejected people that washington kind of left in the dirt

a long time ago why i think you hit the nail on the hit there because what we know is that those depressed and dejected people no matter where they are on the globe that leads to a rise of authoritarianism in the su a rise of these dictatorial regimes because they're looking for anything that can help them get on their feet again and to donald trump's credit he ran on once and then tried to the 2nd time but you know kobe can at the ranch in that he way and on trying to you know build an economy that works for everyone now granted his policy didn't follow through with those things but that was something that he sold people on that in addition to the fact that there was a belief that you know immigrants for the reason that a lot of things went wrong. you know it's interesting because some of the military personnel subcommittee chairman that's a long name republican tom tillis talking about the recent m.b.a. that they passed told me i intend to vote for i understand the president's concern was section 230 but there is so much in this authorization that we we have to move forward with it there is a lot in this authorization and you know i don't want to repeal section 230 we've

talked about that before and the you know it's like donald fighting to keep you know confederate names on military bases again stupid things to fight over but there is a lot in this bill that is a little alarming number one the bill actually bards us troop reductions in afghanistan germany and south korea without significant justifications but doesn't really say what those significant justifications would be it targets china was $6900000000.00 prescribe for a new pacific to turn some initiative over the next 2 years it builds a 2nd burgeoning submarine and contract authority for up to 2 columbia class submarines and it authorizes you'll love this $9000000000.00. as for that wonderful wonderful f. 35 joint strike fighter program that's been just a beacon of government military wasted us for 93 more of those why are we talking about those issues when everyone is singing kumbaya saying how great the n.d.a. is well one of the things about rioters is that when you have writers to deal for the most part unless you're somebody who is in congress strongly pushing against it

the majority of people don't notice what those writers are so i think that you know you illuminating those here is a very strong thing because even with the people who are against the repeal of 230 none of them have mentioned anything else that's included in the bill at all and it's a messed up bill at the end of the day. joe biden has made a controversial pick for the next secretary of defense though the pick up retired 4 star general lloyd austin is historic the president elect's choice does pose a few questions artie's alex hell of it as more. he's a familiar face in american military circles but not someone who spent a lot of time in the public eye until now retired 4 star army general lloyd austin is president elect joe biden's nominee for secretary of defense the choice is a big step towards biden's goal of creating a diverse cabinet austin would be the nation's 1st black defense secretary the 67

year old military man has been described as intensely private and research sharp an individual who was masterfully avoided the spotlight while leading some of the u.s. is largest military campaigns often spent 41 years in uniform most notably as head of the u.s. forces in iraq and between 20132016 he led the u.s. military central command which oversees troops across the middle east central asia and parts of south asia while his impressive resume may make the west point graduate look like the perfect fit for defense secretary to the dismay of progressives and into war activists there is plenty of cause. traverse surrounding austin as a general lloyd austin was one of the individuals who spearheaded the invasion of iraq in 2003 and was involved in the highly criticized war from beginning to end in addition austin played a key role in arming so-called rebel groups in an effort to overthrow syria's president assad when the program failed last an actively campaign to resurrect it

austin built a personal relationship with joe biden which began in 2014 when the president elect was v.p. during that time austin was credited for initiating an international coalition against isis the same year he backed immunity for u.s. troops from war crimes prosecutions by the government of afghanistan right after retiring the former general took a seat on the board of raytheon technologies an arms benefactor which spends millions a year on lobbying the us government and is known for supplying weapons to saudi arabia which have been used against civilians in yemen austin is also a member of an equity fund which invests in defense contractors simply put lloyd austin has profited from war good or bad austin has some hoops to jump through before he can lead the pentagon the retired general needs the help of congress to get the position the government body would have to waive a law designed to ensure civilian oversight of the military the legislation

requires that former military brass are out of the game for at least 7 years before they could become secretary of defense biden is well aware of the hurdle but he defended his choice in an atlantic magazine op ed saying austin also knows that the secretary of defense has a different set of responsibilities than a general officer and that the civil military dynamic has been under great stress these past 4 years even with biden's pat on the back there seems to be some uncertainty about the choice i am going to have to study the. bottom line is that. it was. it's a very good now we will figure out where to go from there. i haven't told my weeks yet about that or what they say biden selected austin over the long time front runner for the position michele flournoy a former senior pentagon official a biden supporter floor annoyed would have been the 1st woman to serve as defense

secretary floor annoying is a member of the same private equity fund which invests in defense contractors as austin for watching the hawks i'm alex mileage. good description what do you think of his pick because in my sense it just seems like same old same old at the end of the day you know you see that same resume in you know coming in the military you know coming out of the military all the time you know was in the military decorated you know led some u.s. wars went to the military industrial complex made a little bit of money and then comes back you so i you know i feel like that's every bit no matter i never no matter who the who the white house is who's at the forefront of the white house at the time i don't necessarily have a problem with this pick personally and i think that his 4 decades of service speak for themselves him being a private person noting that he was a part of some of these more controversial missions in iraq and afghanistan totally understandable but i think that by choosing him not only because of the influence

of him being the 1st african-american in that position but also acknowledging the fact that he has a congressional hurdle to get over before this can even happen in a congressional hurdle that even some democrats have pushed back against my of my senator senator tammy duckworth who also served in the military pushback notably saying that she supports him however she definitely believes in that civilian you know you have to be one for any 7 years and she would not vote to bypass that i think that that speaks volumes and for buying to know going in that this was going to be controversial just because of that alone i think that that says something about his reasoning and what he was looking at when he decided to choose him it makes one wonder why. he chose him knowing that that hurdle was going to be there and knowing that ok we're going to we're going to bend the rules right now and coming out of you know 4 years of all you heard from the democrats was look at how donald trump is bending the rules though and justifiably you know look at how donald bending the rules and not listing the rules and throwing the rule book out the window to kind of come in and say ok i'm one do the same thing with this pick

with like you said every pick that they parade up for that pentagon position really comes from the same background regardless of skin color or or gender it's always that same revolving door i was in the military i come out i go to rape the or lockheed i get paid and then i come back in as a and then act as a broker for these companies and doing business deals you know inside the government but i agree i think that that 7 years shouldn't be broken this year i do think that you might be qualified for and he should in 7 years be up for this but at the end of the day there's a reason we have that there's a reason that we try to make that separation that gap so you're not getting someone who either is an active general or is so close to it that they're still going to be influencing up to meet people in there to influence them on what to do agree they also wonder why flournoy who had been considered for so long at the last minute kind of got pulled it's interesting interesting all right everybody remember as we go to break you can also start watching the hawks on demand that the brand new portable t.v.

which is available on all platforms definitely check it out coming up civil rights attorney robert patillo breaks down the democratic and republican parties relationship with black america you do not want to miss this stay tune for watching the. global the out money ponzi scheme has it the 1st of us now collapsing like bear. collapsed and now we're going back to poverty so the answer is always bad you need actual all sound money like gold but of course that doesn't work so much as big point does and what will happen is they'll be hundreds of millions and billions of people in the world that will say that they're such a bank and there's their nation state government they'll say you know what i'm

interested we just want to have our own money have our own peace of mind and you can go a. problem drugs has come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see me very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invited to america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose if your dose and really became his drug dealer who's to blame patients don't do as many affection was.

black lives matter black votes matter but this black representation matter whose voices are rising to the top and whose voices are being quilt what started as murmurs in the national context became reverberating demands as the campaign cycle went on and black men voiced their disdain for democratic party base felt excluded we heard from the likes of diddy charlemagne the god ice cube and a chorus of other celebrity blackman the truck campaign began making great forward appeals to black means seeing quakes in their support for democrats but is this all smoke and mirrors. or is there something deeper that the democrats need to provide before this bio demographic disappears. former florida gubernatorial candidate interim gillum launched his podcast real talk a few weeks ago his most recent episode featured c.n.n. commentator bakari sellers commenting on the democrats' current state with black men take a listen. first of all black men are treated as visible by the democratic or period

and that's been an indictment of our already for a long period of time until election season where we scramble and try to figure out how we can get charlemagne in a jew and. me and barbershop come out and we do that every week they'll be calling us again in august of 20 twentieth's to try to figure out how we don't beat marco rubio in florida getting black man supposably. this all comes on the heels of legacy civil rights organizations like the in the national urban league and others calling out the bible administration for not consulting with them look providing enough black leadership and high level positions we talked a little bit about this on last week's show and acknowledge that time would tail and it has since friday biden has met with civil rights leaders and further appointments have been acknowledged like incoming defense secretary former general lloyd austin and congressional black caucus member represent of marcia fudge of ohio was being tapped for housing secretary on top of all of this independent

police monitor group released a report showcasing how ill prepared the denver police department was for the george floyd protests and as you can imagine that led to chaos and mounting tensions and human rights violations joining us to unpack all of this is civil rights attorney philip welcome robert. thanks so much well robert c.n.n. sellars offered a steaming critique of the democratic party's neglect of black men do you agree or disagree with his assessment and if you agree what can the democratic party do to be inclusive and responsive to the needs of black men. well because you have to endure what's been very nice about what the democratic party thinks of african-american men of this is not something new you know oddball so you can go back to robert to suggest some statements after prince obama will do but there were so has this top notorious statement off camera about feeling castrated by the democratic party and not advocating for you know african-american and shoots the problem is that all the. army are important to black men. somehow it gets

the base of the democratic party african-american men are generally more fiscally conservative they're more into that entrepreneurship they're more interested in family values than perhaps one of the progressive base so the idea is to get you in to be quiet long enough so that you can so you can combat a support from other parts of your base and keep taking that can down the road so we're going to have to happen and so what we're going to call come to jesus meeting where the democratic party sits down and finds out what agenda items they can actually put forward that will that will help african-american men but also one that moved through the portal the ports their base it's interesting because when you look at all this you know black americans are considered the backbone of the democratic party for many many years now many decades but for black men a sizable part of the selector a to b. you know who are sizable part of the electorate to be considered on important or not taken seriously you know once that voting ending what what one side voting ends what message does this send to them and how how do you think this played out in the

2020 presidential elections. along the way about think it played out and she saw the direct appeals by the trump campaign for trump even right now i can you can probably name more blacks are due to present from them for president joe biden there it's very difficult stuff on an agenda for african-american men but it's not going to be attacked by republicans who thought to be. liberal or progressive groups of the debate when telling a lawful or a war not what we feel warm up or see him or all 'd punch it's about come off as being an angry and aggressive white man versus a white woman in that debate so because of that we're difficult for us to get an a in the across the across the board for that reparations is something that part of his mind the percent support among black men that does not play well for other groups therefore you don't talk about it but we talk about criminal justice reform and broke laws we don't talk about ritter at the rhetoric of nature of it and we would sing the individuals who have been victims of the west 30 years of the war on

drugs drugs and also. giving them programs in the next you know how we're going to bring them into society these are things that are they are popular among white men but the democratic party very afraid to step out on that and be a crossover both so that's but let me but simply turn out but not too so it's but anything in return so that's the issue that you're going to wear then to the idea of putting forward an agenda to scare off the other parts of the base the move up and to being too radical too liberal but also getting the baton out and that's why you often see how your voter turnout numbers for black women and then for black men and robert black leaders are calling on biden to basically showcase his loyalty to the black community the one that arguably saved his campaign and dealt him a margin of victory in states like pennsylvania michigan georgia and others in light of the recent appointments do you believe that by the administration is doing enough in elevating black leaders and are there any key posts still outstanding that you'd like to see a black person feel. a little faces don't matter policy matters you know george

h.w. bush appointee clarence thomas been carstens in the drop in a story there is because you put a black person there does not mean they're going to be able to carry out a black agenda once joe biden starts carrying out again the idols there are important african-american men of the african-american community that's what i think people beside us all but this idea that simply we're going to stick a black guy here and that's going to be enough if things don't change on the ground you know we had a black president for 8 years and many african-american men feel that not enough with the environment sort of the particular position that they are what will be involved but if you start tackling those systemic issues that over incarceration african-american men the over criminalization of the system the criminal justice reform entrepreneurship efforts that will help restore the black man's ability to be the head of household and part of the family again remember in the 1970 program to put in place that were meant to help help black women but what the result of

that was that it made it more economic and had been paid just to not have a black man at the hall because you're seeing more governmental assistance by being a single parent versus being into our households we have to see that systemic and hold still effort made by the government to where many of these problems that's how you get them back back in the fold thinking about defense secretary or a black secretary is not going to be enough you know i want to ask you this robert because i think what you're speaking to is a lot of those major issues is what led to last summer's you know 2020 summer of protests for george floyd and then you have now you have this new report pointing to the flaws in the denver police department's preparedness for those george florida protests as they structure across the country and it's alarming what you found in that report one of the key takeaways and we'll policing entities learn from their mistakes so that you don't have what the denver police were doing to those protesters over the summer. well we've bigger issues that it's been months

you know we had protests in 20 cities around the country and fire threat marches all those things what the structurally change what federal of the solutions in place today that would stop the door to school from happening right now what you want loads of different today than when the one would be to well over the day that that will stop and that will be the the point is the least of our. better winchell structures and then sidewalks if you want you can make a block was better a 1000000000 you can fly flags but nobody's willing to take on these unions no i'm willing to step out on that limb but in the policies that are needed to demilitarize our police departments to protect the lives of african-american men in particular and to get a little place where a black man does not have to think that picking up at sandwich what we're told him doing shots at the young man and school him with a heigho robert thank you so much for saying that because i don't i think we need

more people saying that the we have to stop with just the window dressing and actually put real action in the place robert thank you so much for coming on and talking to us today always a pleasure sir. thank you. while the future will always be wildly unknown that hasn't stopped the european space agency from giving us a peek into our future or at least the future of the stars above us and what is being described as watching 40000 stars blaze across the night sky all at once the european space agency recently released a brand new 62nd time lab simulation of where researchers predict these stars are headed in the next 400000 years this simulation comes courtesy of recent data collected by the gaia satellite which contains detailed information of more than 1800000000 celestial objects this data includes the precise positions velocities and other trajectories of more than 330000 stars within 325 light years or big big number 400000 years in the future i'll be there. all right that is herself are
