10:30 am
to hit us streets with relatively few issues well you know minus the whole anna flack picked up the pen incident in london let's not forget that pfizer is not the only game in town this week the f.d.a. will be announcing their ruling on the dermis covert vaccination and it's now being reported that astra's a need. is to start clinical trials to test a combination of its experimental coronavirus vaccine with russia's sputnik 5 shot to see if this can boost the efficacy of the british drug makers vaccine but before we all jump up and down roll up our sleeves and cries stick it here doc let's remember that despite all these new coded 19 vaccinations flooding the marketplace things are not coming up wine and roses for everyone the peoples vaccine alliance a coalition that includes oxfam and amnesty international has discovered that according to the latest numbers nearly 70 poor countries will only be able to vaccinate one in 10 people against the code 19 virus in just next by next year
10:31 am
and that by contrast wealthier nations have brought have bought up enough doses to bax and eat their entire populations nearly 3 times over by the end of 2021 if those currently in clinical trials are all approved for use so we while we rightfully celebrate the achievements of cope with that and vaccination makers in germany russia the u.k. and the u.s. we must not let wealth greed and political tribalism get in the way of ending this pandemic now and start watching the hawks. if you want to know what's going on a city drinks you want to see them so you like to see see the prizes the joys of state i'll see a rule these drone strikes mass graves desolate systemic deception is going to take so much protection days i would so-called ring of steel as.
10:32 am
a welcome of honor watching the hawks i am tired old winter and i don't need to cry all right as i mentioned at the top of the show russia's sputnik 5 vaccine is gaining acceptance outside of well the obvious circles with the united kingdom and russia signs us now teaming up in the hopes to create a more effective mix of their competing vaccines russian scientists working with british scientists to help save the world from coded my goodness can you believe russian scientists and british scientists given together to save the world russia gators may be losing their minds artie's alex male a bitch of the story. as covert 19 infections reached new heights around the world scientists are putting their heads together to fight the pandemic british pharmaceutical giant astra zeneca announced a clinical trial program to assess the safety enemy units in a city of a combination of a z d 1222 developed by astra zeneca at oxford university and sputnik be developed by
10:33 am
the russian government layer research institute in the unexpected move russian and british scientists are teaming up to see if protection against the corona virus can be improved by combining russia's sputnik vaccine with the astra zeneca virus fighter developed at oxford university hopes are that a cocktail of the 2 might create a stronger and or longer lasting vaccine. for many up to now the idea of russians and brits working together to fight covert 19 may have seemed implausible in august the b.b.c. wrote russia's registration of sputnik has raised concerns about short cutting the normal process and just days ago the b.b.c. reported that sputnik v. has been rushed out to where we russians while backing the fast tracking of domestic vaccines the western media has worked hard to discredit the russian jab thanks to the competition is firstly being politicized and secondly dirty methods are being used to discredit our vaccine however sputnik is the 1st vaccine to have
10:34 am
been produced it's secure good and in demand both the oxford and sputnik vaccines used harmless adenoviruses to fight covert 19 meanwhile russia's vaccine is growing in popularity as a solo contender about 50 countries have expressed interest in purchasing sputnik v argentina has already made a major investment. we will be able to count on enough doses to vaccinate $10000000.00 argentines between january and february and while russian citizens are getting vaccinated for free the world's 1st registered coronavirus vaccine is priced at a competitive 10 dollars per shot for international buyers as sputnik v. seems to be taking the world by storm other vaccines have also been given the thumbs up for distribution. among others china has rolled out a homegrown vaccine in back country and as far away as the middle east in the u.s.
10:35 am
the f.d.a. voted to approve the pfizer bulent tech vaccine which was also given the green light in canada the u.k. but grain and saudi arabia the e.u. is also moving in that direction as it waits for the word from the european medical agency we aim to authorize the buy on text size of vaccine by the end of the subject to and most opinion and most opinion on the most down of vaccines should we come before meat general re and a ruling review of data classed as anika oxford and johnson and johnson vaccines is ongoing countries around the world are eager to stop the virus in its tracks and many are betting on back scenes to do the job for watching the hawks i'm alex mohai live it and joining us today to discuss the latest on all these competing vaccinations and the all too familiar rich vs poor pay to play health care dynamic that is affecting the rollout is not only the co-director of popular resistance but
10:36 am
pediatrician as well margaret flowers margaret thank you so much for joining us i thank you for having me so margaret while we marvel and applaud at the speed and scientific achievement that we that was reached with the creation of these vaccinations i want to ask you how dangerous is it that now we're seeing politicians world leaders and the media kind of begin to play this game of politics around them of who gets them who doesn't who should have them 1st who should have them last how dangerous is that. well it's really dangerous i mean in the whole coven 1000 pandemic has been politicized by the united states and the wealthy elites and that's to the detriment of people around the world you know if we actually you know have global cooperation as we've seen many countries doing helping each other out through this pandemic the united states is not one of those that has been doing that but if we had real global cooperation we would be looking at which populations around the world are the most vulnerable who should be prioritized in terms of getting the vaccine and how do we make sure that there
10:37 am
aren't barriers to the vaccine as you know the one that's in the united states requires a very low temperatures to store it and that makes it not available to people around the world as well as people in rural areas around the united states. you kind of touched on this question with part of your previous response about access the people's vaccine alliance reported that only one in 10 people in 67 developing or poor countries will be vaccinated by the end of 2021 what do you think news like this tells us about the mentality behind the release of these vaccinations and who actually be able to receive them. well i mean it's typical of what we see especially you know in areas like this that are very profitable for these large corporations it's not about actually what's best for public health or what's best for the people it's you know what are the populations and you see of course as you said the wealthy countries buying up these vaccinations 1st we should be prioritizing country it's you know that have maybe health care systems that are
10:38 am
less developed than other wealthy countries and making sure that people there are protected book or when you start just rolling it out to those who have the money and you know it should be professionals of course who are on the front line should be prioritized i feel ations that are vulnerable on our villages that don't have access to good health care. should one of the big debates in regards to this vaccine because of the size of the. circle the globe as it should come should the come. he's behind these vaccines more during pfizer and others be forced to give up the intellectual property controls in order to help combat future again you know combat against future vaccine hoarding that we're seeing by wealthy nations as well as prevent limits on vaccine as well as the prevention prevention of limits on vaccine production should they give up their kind of their copyright over all these are made in the lao other countries to see how they're made and then create their own generic brand oh no question i think you know it really raises ethical questions that we allow the
10:39 am
a pharmaceutical corporations to have you know propriety make these things proprietary in the 1st place because health is something that impacts everyone around the world when it comes to infectious diseases they don't know borders as we say to the spread over 19 spread very quickly throughout the world and it was thanks to china being able to sequence the genome very quickly and share that out that allowed this kind of you know collective reach virtue and trying to address the problem that germany was a was a develop a test really quickly and unfortunately the united states because it has a habit you know developing its own test that means its own perforations can profit from it or is best to the test of the world health organization and that delayed our ability to even start to identify cases and that was you know really put us behind the ball in terms of trying to get any sort of control on par with mice in the united states and so when it comes to health health was kind of 12 o'clock
10:40 am
region it's really important and if we're allowed that we could really make some serious advances in cancer to protect our. market we just have a little bit of time left on ask you has there been any nation or group in europe that you can look to right now and say they've done the good job or they did the right job in terms of either you know rolling out the vaccine to make it available to all peoples where was there anyone you can point to the we should be modeling. well i think china has a been an excellent model all the way through in the way they've handled the pandemic and i understand that they are making sure that there aren't you know any barriers and that they actually want to help countries in the global south and as you said russia is providing the vaccine free is the kinds of things that we need to be there number of poor countries that have handled this and well because they have been socialized health care system that puts ours margaret thank you very much for coming on and educating our audience today a pleasure having you on. great to be with you. all right as we go to break
10:41 am
remember that you can also store watching the hawks as well as other shows on demand through the brand new portable t.v. out which is available on all of your favorite platforms do not forget to pick that up all right coming up it was protests protests everywhere here in washington d.c. as the followers of the great mongo still refuse to accept their leaders laws stay tuned to find out what happens next as we continue watching for. the. elderly forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given to human beings except where such orders that conflict with the 1st launch show your identification we should be very
10:42 am
careful about artificial intelligence and the point only use the great trust of the shia. areas in with artificial intelligence was something the d.m. and. the obama must protect its own existence was excessive. please name this mom told me. he didn't want her to. say usual love just so it's like oh mom you know she's going to do it with you we don't look it isn't my window i'm. gonna look.
10:43 am
back and sure enough was also. even. there so we drove through. who believe you know if i'm going to. leave. one of the few lessons americans learned in history class that wasn't whitewashed was that of the september 15th 1963 bombing of the 16th street baptist church in birmingham alabama the bombing where ku klux klan terrorist killed 4 young girls
10:44 am
black churches have long been the chosen side of white supremacist here not only throughout the civil rights movement but as much as a century before. sadly the trend didn't stop the 1990 s. brought a wave of fire bombings to the black church as a matter of fact things got so bad that in 1906 congressional hearings were held to address arson and other attacks on the church and in 2015 a white armed gunman murdered 9 black church goers in charleston south carolina. fast forward to 2020 the year that just keeps giving us unfortunate surprises as trump supporters continue to protest the results of a decided election the white supremacist wing of his base set their sights on attacking the black church white nationalist groups the sentinel washington d.c. over the weekend tearing down black lives matter banners and signs from 2 historically black churches in downtown d.c. they deface property and lit fires d.c. police are investigating the crimes as hate crimes take
10:45 am
a look at some of the footage we gathered on the ground. there. that. according to the black lives matter organization the white nationalist groups targeted ashbury united methodist church the oldest african-american church to
10:46 am
remain at its original site this church was founded in 836 they also attacked metropolitan amy a series of videos of the attacks were posted by the proud boys on twitter. pastor say this is reminiscent of cross burnings. you know that's of so interesting about that story is that while a lot of us of the heard about you know that there was these protests and they got violent you know the transporters gone violent over the weekend in washington d.c. it felt like i was till you came in and told me this morning i never even knew that black churches were targeted during these protests why why is that why is it so hard for the media to cover that. it's actually a long and storied history where attacks on the black church are rarely covered by media unless there is a death and ball over the past 5 years we've seen hundreds particularly in the southeast where black churches were either lit on fire or black churches where defaced in some way glass was broke out of them science taken down and things like that they rarely ever reach news in this case they think that part of it is because
10:47 am
the tie in with b.l. in a lot of people saw it as payback for the black lives matter protest this past summer i did want to take a point to turn to a tweet from congresswoman rashid italy because i think that she wrapped it up very well she basically showcased how the difference between the response to these protests versus what we saw over the summer and in her tweet she said the 2 oldest black churches in d.c. were attacked last night whereas the same outrage from media political and business folks who seem to be vocal when it comes to the b.l.m. protests. that is a really important observation because i remember look when the b.l.m. protests were going on and things got burned even though it would relate or found out that it wasn't directly associated to be on protesters but instigators coming in to start fires or at least get them into that party started partners of the party but you know it's interesting that there was always all over the media everyone's talking about and all that but then like here you've got an instance where you see the signs being burned you see black churches target and not
10:48 am
a peep and in this case we know exactly who it was because they recorded themselves in place they had videos on twitter the pressure eating part though aside from the obvious disengagement. calling foul on this is that the conservatives like to talk about the religious right they like to talk about these things coaxed in in religion and christianity meanwhile when there's an attack on the black church a church that is the embodiment of black culture and black society no one raises a single finger or stands a word and i think that says more about that group in terms of the religious right not just the white supremacist than anything else well i'm we've we've seen a lot of i would say the protesters on one side of the aisle as opposed to the protesters on the other side of the aisle being treated with much more cute clothes when you saw those guys roll up in the michigan armed to the teeth and walking into a state house and the police who you know but yet you see you know journalists and protesters getting beat would but i'm sure you olds and everything else across the
10:49 am
country you saw the difference in how are grown how institutions handle you know these the difference of the 2 protesters you know you're absolutely correct and i think that we also have to recognize that this is a core native effort these churches were not you know willy nilly chose and there are several black churches throughout d.c. these 2 specific churches have a historical context one of them was the site of project douglass funeral the other is one that has been visited by former president barack obama visited by civil rights leaders across multiple generations these are places that mean a lot to the black community to pierce he was dean of the howard university school of bin of divinity called the incidents acts of both racial terror and religious violence and when people commit these types of crimes they do it to scare black people they do it to eradicate what we've seen what is become known from the black church an organization that not only fills you with the love of jesus and christianity but is also one that tells you about leadership that tells you about social activism so when we see people attack these churches they are attacking the
10:50 am
core of what it means to be black in america. our. happening today the electoral college certify. the results of the 2020 alexion of firming president elect joe biden and vice president elect. but with those massive violent protests taking place over the weekend. things are getting pretty sticky and even more is expected to take place today lawmakers in michigan were even forced to use a security escort as they made their way in to make their vote this morning joining us now to discuss all the latest developments here's our tease rachel blevins. oh road always a pleasure having you over to thank you very astutely well rachel can you just give us a rundown of these rallies and why are people still showing up i mean this race is decided we know how it ended it ended weeks ago technically and used every recourse to try to change the results these rallies are still happening across the united
10:51 am
states not just in d.c. why yes oh this latest rally here in d.c. was referred to as the 1000000 magen march say about 3 times fast this is a segment on the we've seen here in d.c. and then even across the country we've seen these quote unquote stop the steel marches and they seem to be made up of thousands of trump supporters who sincerely do believe that he was the rightful winner of the election and severe taking to the streets to make their voices heard now a number of these protesters they have been largely peaceful you've seen people of all ages out there you know family members kids all of that taking part in it and it's a lot of times when those proud boys members and some of those outside groups get involved and then we see violence now if you're asking the question of why are these people still marching we also 7 have to remember these are people who don't trust the media right now they don't trust the government right now there were a number of people here in d.c. that were marching not wearing masks at all and when they were asked by reporters if they were concerned about getting the coronavirus their responses were to say that they didn't believe that it was real that they didn't believe that it was
10:52 am
serious and one guy even said he hopes he got it because he wanted to get it over with so there really is a demographic of people coming out of this that haven't trusted the government or the media in a while and they're now rebelling against it because they're finding one singular person to tie all of their hopes to which is president charles bridge i want to move over to ask you both to look toral college it's had a lot a light shone on it at least the last 2 presidential election cycles where everyone's talking about the electoral college electoral college. do you believe that this this kind of you know as this is happening this year largely because donald trump is sitting on not accepting the results out. i don't believe what do you believe that this highly of you were told college 2 straight elections further dr coles that we should just a ball shouldn't go with a popular vote for the presidency we know is interesting because back in 2016 we had democrats that were outraged because hillary clinton did win the popular vote and we know that in 2020 if don't trump had won the popular vote and not the
10:53 am
electoral vote it would be republicans who have the same complaint and you know we hear these time and time again about the electoral college talking about how it really gives incentives to presidential candidates to only pander to certain states because they basically have to look at the map do some math and know which battleground states they need to really campaign for it also excludes 3rd parties a lot of times and it is this winner takes all system where presidential candidates know that they only have to go towards certain states and a lot of people feel disenfranchised because if you're a democrat living in a red state you may not be as willing to go and vote because you think that your vote doesn't matter because at the end of the day you know that state is going to be red now in terms of 2020 and what's going to happen with the electoral college you have democrats who now won both of them so they're a little bit more ok with it in terms of where things are going but then republicans seem to have problems with not just feel like troll college but the entire voting system i mean these republicans who are saying literally that their issues with every in the way we vote in the way that votes are counted in the way
10:54 am
that the entire system is handled then that sets it up for i'm not sure exactly what they're going to push for because they seem to want an overhaul of the entire thing which is ironic considering they are consistently winning down ballot races in state races as well so it apparently is only fixed at the top of the ticket. rachel now we know that the electoral college certification is over and that biden has now won again for like the 5th time in the past few weeks do you think that this is going to slow down or will some of the protesters trump advocates and also could silence some of the republican leaders who have spoken out in support of him or give some cover to those who actually want to. him to sit down and accept these results and you know in terms of these protests i think we likely will see demonstrations at least up until inauguration day you know you have a lot of people that you do have people who think that trump is still going to find a way to overturn the results no matter how many times they're told that it's bite and they think that trump has a love and our winning solution here so he likely will still see some of these
10:55 am
demonstrations and then those demonstrations could come out again if a by an administration does something that they don't like if the administration tries to push for more lockdowns more measures against the coronavirus you have people that are already frustrated with it so they could go towards that more and as for the g.o.p. members i mean they've got to protect their own party so we're likely to boil boys always go get more and more confusing words with thank you so much for coming on a lot must know the latest on these protests across emotion and that my friends is all we have for you today that is our show remember everyone in this world we are beverly not told we are loved enough so let me be the 1st to tell you i love. 96 keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day. it
10:56 am
was amazing. the response or disapprove. of this. miscommunication is. that it is. going to end up on t.v. these. little devices. to me i'm going to tell you to come to interviews on you tube if they do you know mothers. against aids. if you start to question. related to terminator. to media. it is safe.
