that tragically has left 5 people dead and the nation once again on the verge of a nervous breakdown and you could find no better example of that nervous breakdown in the room than in the response to the apparently earth shattering soul crushing news that twitter permanently banned our brand name in chief one u.s. president donald trump instantly activists from both the left and the right down the middle of the political spectrum were losing their collective minds and either absolute joy or outrage upon hearing the news of the band from journalist glenn greenwald tweeting out a handful of silicon valley oligarchs decide who can and cannot be heard including the president of the united states they exert this power unilaterally with no standards accountability or appeal. jumped all the way over to the mr russia gate himself yes the u.s. representative out of burbank california my good buddy adam ship who tweeted social

media companies have allowed this vile content to fester far too long and need to do much more but banning him is a good start naturally donald trump jr yes the don's own son got in on the game to even name dropping orwell as he wrote we are living orwell's 19 eighty-four free speech no longer exists in america it died with big tack and what's left is only there for a chosen few. yes a chosen few like donald trump jr himself who made that previous statement i just quoted on twitter yes so it's pretty speeches america today under attack by an orwellian political and social culture do these silicon valley conglomerates now control the the very fates of our lives and of our very precious 1st amendment or is both the right and the left giving way too much power to the likes of mark

zuckerberg and jack dorsey because well we need someone to blame besides donald trump for all of our ills and honestly why the hell is sean hannity and anderson cooper getting into a fight over the olive garden after all of those 2 well my friends let's find out the answer to these important questions as we delve in to freedom of speech in 2021 and the events of january 6th as we start watching the hawks. wisco in a city streets. that are so slick see the crisis joyce state . great city displays systemic deceptions show which. some things up until this. welcome. on the watching the hawks i tire of them and i'm going to cry and joining us today to discuss the events of january 6th the great trump twitter battle and the nervous

breakdown the follow all of this is author and editor at large for salon dot com baltimore's own the walk ins deal was a pleasure. so as always my. let me let me 1st let's start with the trump twitter bear was this a long overdue ban and why do you think trump finally got banned despite a very long history of rather vile tweets what comes to my mind right away is or was it back in may the loop when the looting show starts the shooting starts that pops in there i mean they didn't take him down or ban him then after a tweeted that response to the george quote floyd protest so what now suddenly made everyone say now's the time in your opinion. well i think the band now white people lie i think you know you can't have her so if the president of the most powerful person.

in the country. the only. black people. you know we got to put out his together and step up and do something is what i think but hey. to delve into that a little bit more d. i mean even pinterest has blocked him at who uses pinterest anymore except people getting ready for weddings and clipping pictures do you believe that the social media company should be ported to control and police political content that their users write and share on their sites they feel you just a couple of days ago weighed into this arguing that it could be used as a blanket power to silence activists and civil rights leaders so let's think you know be out well beyond trumpet maga supporters what do you think is or is the. problematic nature with how social media organizations are handling it. well troubling news censors because he's had

a lot of wedding but you know i think that it's a double edged sword for me because i do but we in freedom of speech and i do believe you should be able to talk about whatever you want to talk about. you know doesn't own twitter we were we we were all saying whatever we wanted to see her twitter was even being. existent and he had access to the media on the news ever he wants to he can say whatever you want to he has the power to do whatever you want to do and so i don't really think that he should be entitled. twitter should not have to automatically allow him to. i know a lot of us reply to my news but it's really not a news. flash all day long just like you do with any of these companies so. i personally would like to know what he's thinking because he's not going to most of running the country so i want to know but at the same time it's not up to any

company. i think that's an interesting take too because i mean when i look at this right now going beyond trump there was this huge battle as a kind of abuse even mention with the a.c.l.u. weighing in too of like you know what do we do moving forward do we allow this kind of speech moving forward from other groups or entities on twitter does the government need to get involved and regulate twitter not think there's an argument to be made that they're definitely monopolies and they definitely need taken out and i think there's an argument to be made that they're very selective and even hypocritical in what they decide to censor and what they don't but do you believe in taking donald trump out of the equation and just looking at social media do you believe it's a violation of user's 1st amendment rights that if twitter decides. to ban your speech on their platform or a publisher says because of what you said i'm not going to publish your book after you know you took certain political actions like we saw with congressman josh holly

and simon and schuster are those in your opinion violations of the 1st amendment. so you know at the end of the day i mean think about it you know if it's my publishing company i'm going to publish what i'm going to publish on twitter or any of these other platforms i'm going to you know i can sound whoever i want to silence if we even i'm going to sit here and call it silence and i think that's the level above this whole conversation is we're getting caught up in in who and whose 1st amendment rights have been taken away you know that their founders. were there were tweeting you don't want to stand so these companies the same way that donald trump or whoever have the ability to write what they want or say what they want is the same way i don't have to have you be a part of my company if you come in my house and you disrespectful and you don't follow the rules that my wife and i stablished and we're going to vote you out of

the front door because we pay for it so i think the whole 1st amendment conversation is just it doesn't fit because at the end of the day are you going to take away twitter's rights to gay but to say you know i'm going to let you in my platform even though you're distraction from what i what my platform to be and that's it and he has you know allegedly he's a billionaire you could make its own social media web site illegal because only he can he can voice is opinion any way he was the voice his opinion just because he's kicked out from twitter i don't think people should be crying i think we should be focusing on. how are we going to make the country better for everybody that's the kind of. conversation with the around how we're going to get people out of prison should be in prison how are we going to help people out how are we going to stop talking about there's my duck was a person you know everybody's ready to just get away from and that's when a conversation should be out for me but i definitely understand why people are

upset. andy i know that you've talked about this whole several influencers have there are so many spotlight and issues between what we saw in january 6th with that insurrection and the blatant differences and how us law enforcement treated them in their 1st amendment rights but also in terms of protecting them in general versus what we saw or the black lives matter protesters or even the native american standing rock protesters stopped the steel protesters as it will did not get that same level of treatment they have they we don't see images of them you know with the pool guard of the military in front of them we don't see them being beaten and bloodied by by armed forces what do you have to say about the level of hypocrisy to a certain extent that we saw in this fallout and do you think that that's being lost amongst all of the chatter just the differences amongst how these instigators were treated with a very violent act versus what we saw with black lives matter and then some of

these other protests around environment or you know the native american project process to protect their lands. you know it's funny it's funny you say that i'm not sure if you had a chance to make it to bottom or if you come out of more after. after the n.c.v.s. burned down we had tanks rolling down the street tanks tanks were rolling down the street young men and women deployed for international legs sas rifles walking up and down the street well grandma's firing groceries you know ome if you would talk to them about you know what do you do you don't hear or why did you hear a lot of it was so young and naive that they didn't even know why they were acts the standard residential neighborhoods as if we were under arrest or attack or something like that so i definitely think that's a conversation that everybody should be had the no pun intended but that trumps the

truck twitter conversation how come. you have this or any risk when you watch me when watching a crazy amount of white problem the same way they do white people and tear up their city and then he went to police officers get this revolutionary marvel superhero a level of are straight up but if a black person chance no justice no peace then we got a part thanks but it. that's the truly saddest part about there's the i want to thank you so much for coming on today and lightning our audience the way you always do thank you so much sir. thanks. as part of the newly passed covert 19 relief legislation that was recently signed by president donald trump the pentagon get this must now disclose everything it knows about unidentified flying objects within the next 6 months naturally

given the current issues facing the country this provision hasn't gotten a lot of attention but who is giving it attention as artie's own turn of the shabbos. it's a stipulation that was tucked into the $2.00 trillion dollar legislation passed last month it requires a director of intelligence and consultation with the secretary of defense to provide the congressional intelligence and armed services committees with an unclassified report about an identified aerial phenomenon and they have to do it within $180.00 days. make it a part of the nearly $6000.00 page coronavirus relief bill the president signed on sunday is an unexpected proposal. a request for the u.s. pentagon to brief congress on all it knows about u.f.o.'s within 6 months. according to the senate intelligence committee's directive the report must include detailed analysis of u.f.o.

data and intelligence collected by the office of naval intelligence the identified aerial phenomenal task force and the f.b.i. . additionally the report should describe in great detail quote an interagency process for ensuring timely data collected and centralized analysis of all and identified aerial phenomenon reporting for the federal government and designate an official responsible for that process. members of congress and the pentagon have long been concerned about the appearance of an identified aircraft that have flown over military bases and voted last june to have the pentagon and intelligence community provide a public analysis of the encounters and while it's still unclear of the origin of these and identified objects when this report is released it should identify if any of the u.f.o. posed a national security threat and whether any of the nation's adversaries could be behind such activity reporting in new york trinity chavez r.t. . all right as we go to break with that you can also start watching the horse on the air on the brand new portable definitely tricked out over the billboards all

forms coming up my friends we look at the role churches and pastors play the movements of the worst. 6 with author and pastor that will stay tuned to watching the whole. thing. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.

isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere. direct. what is true was his faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallows. so removers isuzu. search is going to memphis looked up to you more from nothing you've. given those you just came up with a ticket in your field of. antarctica is

a very international community. meaning you strain to pick with only 2 things. you just got to keep it is the stuff that. you know each. there's a position that they would use for the bridge just so there you can see it go perish in the sometimes you go is everything we're going through just the way we don't want something to do with. the. clubhead that would affect it all day but i decided not to take the fight. with my guy can tell you that. november 6th 2020 will go down in history as the day america fell under attack the day democracy with bread and by model riders the day that a sitting u.s.

president's call to action and threats of voter fraud lead to an attempted coup the violent insurrection dominate the news cycle family dinner conversations and religious circles after all the evangelical church played a sizable and tragic role in the insurrection in the animosity that led to it it's no secret that after the smoke cleared the blame lies in a variety of places and the white church is among them the mob carried signs a confederate flag shouting jesus saves meanwhile leading police officers planning i e d's and building gallows equipped with a noose threatening to hang a sitting vice president my pants. the riotous mob consistently invoked jesus and trump with shouts they believed it was god's will that trump remain in office that was echoed by televangelists like paul white evangelical leaders like jerry falwell jr and scores of white pastors across the country echoed so much that their

congregants believe the conspiracy theory of election fraud and they got in trouble when it's been to storm the capital in fact many believed it so wholeheartedly that several pastors themselves were among the angry mob last week but we shouldn't be too surprised throughout history the christian right in the evangelical church has not only fought against civil rights but led the fight against black voter access to the polls across the south they supported segregation and the church remains to this day the biggest racial dividing line in america where the black church is known for leading advocacy movements and expansion of rights the white evangelical church is known for limiting those but after the insurrection what will they do. albert mohler head of an influential in mental seminary said quote we are undoubtedly in an agonizing moment in which evangelical christians who supported donald trump now find ourselves in the position of being to mislead embarrassed by this most recent behavior. but are these comments too little too late and are these

issues driving cultural shifts in church membership. are banned in the church intros and here to tell us more is pastor and author of the book white lies daniel hill welcome daniel. good to see you again. well daniel it's sad that we meet again under these types of circumstances but as you know the model crowd has long intertwined the christian whites the question right in its efforts often quoting the bible along the way and using influential individuals of the christian right to speak pastors and the like after all evangelicals work he traps 2016 victory what wold does the white evangelical church play in spreading conspiracy theories and supporting the sentiments that led to last week's insurrection. which. i lament that that is indeed true everything that you're saying i don't dispute any of that like many things you

know there's a lot of layers to this right there's a small number of people i think with the i don't commute are actually actively trying to promote this then there's a lot of folks who are ignorant and complicit because of their ignorance of math and so a lot of work at least you know me and my colleagues are doing is trying to help folks realize that what's happening right now is not just happening right now right that there's long historical roots to this and so in the days since capital we've been doing a lot of work and we have a double spaces around this term white christian nationalism and trying to show how the kind of unique brand of nationalism that leads to this is white supremacy and white christianity all mixed in with the and i think being able to understand the historical roots of that is really critical to understanding how this happens right now and if we have any chance within our state. of owning up to complicity and uprooting it's going to really understand those historical roots where they would applaud the work that you're doing and trying to really explain how how we got here especially to you know you know cut your congregation and others know we heard from

you know there's the other side of this though where we've heard from evangelical mega church pastors and televangelists like paul white who have called on the spirits to wield trump the election and encourage followers to fight many to fight was a mega church pastor rick warren supported trump but but tweeted we lost go home after the attack on the capital the southern baptist convention has issued statements condemning the violence but as we know internally has problems because its membership is primarily trump supporters where can the church go from here you know we're hearing a lot about where we go politically and where you know where we need to go for the 2 parties and things like that but where does the church go from here given you know what we've seen happen and the role that many churches tragically are played in this. yeah i mean i think this is one the complexities obviously as a pastor i'm a full believer that the way of jesus can lead to the healing that we need but we've all kind of trouble you know in terms of our own willingness to tell the truth and reveal historical complicity dr willie jennings you know who's one of the

foremost religious intellectuals around out faith and white supremacy. when he did a seminar called white christian state which was kind of a play on when white people used to ask get black slaves to be slaves but it is talk and white christians be saved heat and he says the problem facing white christians in this day and age is that there's a parasitic relationship between white supremacy and white christianity which is a vivid image because most of us know parasites and master the organism that can't survive without attaching itself to hosts and he makes a claim i think this is a really cheap way to think about what supremacy that it had to attach itself to a host in order to survive and i think you can really make a case that at least in the west white supremacy attached to white christianity in order to be able to survive. and so i still think we need hope the bible form of christianity we're just deceived by this reality that white supremacy is all intermixed with just there's too many of us who are willing to look past it or even to extend christianity without attacking what from sin is attach itself to it and

so i think it's going to happen to crimes i still think we need to love that come out of it comes from our one choose us but we have some very serious work to do to address this parasitic relationship between white supremacy and what sanity i just one quick follow up is also part of the problem the kind of intersection that we're seeing in this country apart from what the constitution says of where you know you're seeing more political you know politics being preached from the pulpit as opposed to the word of god. i mean i don't know. if it was the right kind of politics how could he be so concerning regiment i think it's it's hard to ever think of faith without it having impact right it's like the kind of office we're talking about is defending the vulnerable i don't think that would be so problematic it's that there's this alignment with kind of far right wing politics and we're going to smell the wrong kinds of things that really has become problematic i mean i just i'm it's a crowd we're here right now and there's a lot of black churches to chicago which is of this really healthy balance of how faith and politics kind of work together and so i think it could be done in

a way that's healthy but obviously the way it's being done in a way to juggle church by and large there's a lot of problems to it. and we think that we need young people millennial as are leaving churches in droves that's no that's no secret it's nothing that's new we've watched this now for what looks like close to a decade do you think that the church ever has hope of getting these younger generations back and what steps are blues do you think they need to do in hopes of becoming revitalized board this next generation. but i don't ever want to. talking going to winds depending on reality right there's good reason and that when you are leaving the church in droves and if what they're seeing in somebody's place this is the church i'd want to be that too so i don't blame people for walking away from toxic forms of religion a matter what form it is so i think for all the things we're talking about on the show there are reasons in which the churches are to get away churches been complicit and we have to trust those. i do i think it's a permit and i don't i mean i think that there is

a longing for love for faith for transcendence for meaning it's in all of us that doesn't change from generation to generation so the rejection of toxic versions of religion will always be a necessary purifying process and something i actually commend i think it forces us to look at the mir but i still believe the kinds of think that you just talked about the way of life and following is something that when seen clearly is attracted to people of every generation or daniel i got to say although the i think another big thing is the good work that you're doing to kind of not be afraid to answer tough questions and not dodge them and you know be strong enough to do that i think that's really commendable and i thank you for the good work that you're doing in chicago and for coming on the show today always a pleasure having you on sir thank you thank you always an honor to be with you. all right everybody that is our show for you today and remember in this world we are best only not told that we are loved and up so i tell you wall i love you i wrote winter and i don't mean keep on watching all those hawks out there and have

a great day and night everybody. it seems inevitable the new security regulations fast into law in the wake of the events on capitol hill the original day parade was made to legitimize the so-called war on terror well the patriot act troops chose a no. one else seemed wrong. but all roles just don't call. me old
