10:30 am
yes the new york times vox and others are now reporting that quote some texans have been hit with power bills totaling as much as $17000.00 for only a few days of electricity but thankfully while the people of texas in the rest of the united states were desperately trying to stay warm one news organization was there to keep them informed with one of the most important political news stories and facts of our day president joe biden's dog take it away greg kelly of newsmax did you see the dog lecky i want to show you something i noticed there's the look a little a little rough i love dogs but this dog needs a bath and a comb and all kinds of love and care i've never seen a dog in the white house like this i remember buddy i remember millie i remember lots of dogs but not a dog who seems don't know i don't know how much love and kerry is getting let's bring in the historian. wow so while americans are freezing today. you know gas and
10:31 am
electric companies are raping and pillaging we did a story about the white house dog and we wonder why we are so ill informed about our failing infrastructure and failed state of modern capitalism. i think it's time to start watching the hearts. and the city streets. that are so let's see this is joyce state. graves see this least systemic deception is so much. so that you'll. read welcome everybody to watching the hawks i am i wrote to her and i don't need to cross that so major this is pretty incredible looking at all what what went down this last week i mean this really is a dire testament to the failed state of our infrastructure is that no you're
10:32 am
absolutely correct it's also a testament to the failed state of people believing or not believing it. in a system that has been show tried and true when it comes to wind when energy wind turbines but also how a state could basically have its own grid system. like just like we talked about this earlier with what happened with new orleans after katrina there have been so many papers written so much research done by the army corps of engineers letting people know 101518 years ahead of time that because of what we were seeing with a lot of the natural disasters the potential was going to be deadly a lot of that same thing happened in texas and the leaders just would not listen that seems to be the case over and over and over again when you combine that kind of we're not going to listen to the warnings about the potential failures of our just collapsing infrastructure systems we're going to allow you know we're going to deregulate allow these companies to put greed before safety and security of the
10:33 am
people using these companies. you know when you see that kind of thing happen over and over again there's a certain point we just have to say ok when is enough when is enough enough what are people really going to stand up and say we don't want to be treated like this i mean more we have basic rights to you know elect. city and warmth well part of the issue was that texas has for you know ever stood as the state that wants to be anti-government and they want to be a state that doesn't want to have any level of government control it's all about individual freedoms and liberty good things in theory but when it comes to something like this when it comes to putting private sector interests above people because that's what happened they created this deal they knew going into it with the potential just might be we know that these natural disasters and these weather patterns are only going to get more harsh over the next few years we're seeing it so kudos to everyone who has been knocking down that door and that wall for the past 2030 years letting elected officials know that this was coming it's fresh
10:34 am
trading that we still haven't seen texas legislative leaders actually sit back and say they could have done something different we don't see that move at all they actually blame this on the green new deal the wind energy they have blamed it on so many things other than what actually happened and it's really sad because then when you couple that just adequacy years leaders and failed leadership really across the board with you don't know the greed of these electrical companies and when will you go you know 63 year old army veteran scott willoughby was highlighted in the media over the weekend lives on social security payments he got hit according to new york times with a $16000.00 february electric bill because he's on what they call like the he buys like their electricity wholesale in the deregulated market of texas i mean that's $60000.00 you've got nicholas' mulattoes over received a $3000.00 bill he told the media quote everyone in texas is about deregulation and greedy as a whole so the company as a whole selector see provider is the most deregulated you can get and this just
10:35 am
goes to show why regulation is important because sure in the short term it's great but them's the situations like this arise where it gets out of control and he i think brought up a good point as a customer saying look we love the romanticism of the deregulated perfectly running market but we know that. that doesn't exist no they don't these markets are below profit share and that's the end of the story and i think that democrats really need to push harder against this deregulation period that has a lot of support actually until you see crises like this because those bills are not going to go away people are getting bills higher than that in the hundreds of thousands over the next few days many of which you know we've seen on twitter who actually posted their be all the oh that's just ridiculous they have no means of paying this money back no but the electric company did offer them deferred payments like we know you can do it now so maybe maybe later this summer $17.00 and put you know you i was. libya is back in the news as the country is minister of the interior barely escapes an assassination attempt and information is released on
10:36 am
blackwater's role in a play and a government overthrow party's alex milledge has the story. it's been called a hit and run military campaign in 2011 a nato led regime change operation helped dismantle libya's government leading to the brutal killing of the country's leader moammar gadhafi. after that many say the country was a bad did by the western military coalition dividing libya and leading to a civil war between 2 factions both declaring themselves the legitimate government of the nation but 2 groups use local militias and foreign powers to their advantage of perpetuating the chaos in libya however earlier this month the geneva un brokered compromise saw the political rivals agree to form an interim government which includes representation from both sides by the. power great libyan people her victory today goes beyond the issue of a standalone victory to something greater than that it has it represents
10:37 am
a symbol of the victory of national unity reunification peace building can achieve the desired democracy although many see the accord as a breakthrough militia groups sometimes backed by sympathetic politicians continue to plague the nation this has led to some leaders being skeptical. about just how unified the government is here is fact. the interior minister for libya's un backed government a month before the agreement was signed but this is the biggest problem for me it's not the militias which are weak and easily broken apart but the problem is that some of the parts institutions of the state provide support to the members of these militias on sunday but as motorcade came under heavy fire on a highway on the outskirts of libya's capital tripoli the interior minister was the target of what is being called oh well planned assassination attempt one of his guards died in the shoot out as for the assailants one was killed and 2 were taken into custody the government have not been identified and
10:38 am
a recently revealed confidential u.n. report brings up the question were they under the control of foreign or domestic powers according to the report in 2019 the infamous u.s. security firm blackwater violated the united nations arms embargo on libya twice when erik prince blackwater's founder said foreign mercenaries and weapons to support libyan warlord khalifa haftar are against the tripoli based government described as a well funded private military company operation the plan was for mercenaries to track down and kill libyan leaders and it would be fair to assume that the attacks could have resembled what happened to libya's interior minister on sunday a spokesperson for prince denied the accusations at the annual u.n. report the report will be officially released to the public next month for watching the hawks i'm alex. fascinating report being released but not when i am sorry not surprising look in my humble opinion erik prince you know mr mercenary mr
10:39 am
blackwater best friend of the bush administration best friend of the trumpet ministration to me he's one of the most notorious and. worst figures of the early 21st century at this point so it's crazy because i haven't heard you know the blackwater name. in news in a while you know so the theme of this and you know to know just how deep they go and how strategic they are in planning not only overthrows but also being the when it comes to ever actually being investigated for their meddling in wrongdoing if i don't know where we go from here if things like blackwater isn't working as they should they will never be dismantled they have a ton of covert operations and they try to keep hands off of them and he's not even from what i understand not even directly in charge of it anymore because of all the controversy and things like that he brought but you know just because he's not officially in charge doesn't mean that you can you know i'm sure people could still find the connections or still find his influences over these i mean when you look back and stop at the bigger picture this is you know mercenaries like blackwater
10:40 am
and all that essentially came out of the failed 2nd gulf war under bush it's one our u.s. military decided to suddenly start no longer having the military do jobs and you know essentially saying well we're going to put it in the hands of private industry as opposed to having our guys do this and this is what you have is the rise of these kind of mercenary corporations that are going on controlled unchecked and run rampant around the world and that begs the question how do you any is there a method of controlling them because clearly there is no there is no regulatory faction for them they are basically free to do when they want sometimes that directed by other governments oftentimes not there happens there has to be what is there what is their motive for these actions because they pick and choose very strategically who they're going to get involved with and when but also they don't really fall under any if they don't they fall outside of regular dress diction i think that's one of the most pressure eating parts it truly is because it's hard to track you know because they get all the rights of
10:41 am
a private corporation and they're generally people with high security clearances who get into these things i mean they become some of the most shadowy organizations on the planet and you know to me it whenever you look at like everywhere erik prince is career is gone you know destruction has followed you know it's kind of a you know that's good. again my opinion but i mean it's hard to disagree with that when you look at him i mean you saw him with this you know fingers in the trumpet administration and all of that was the cousin or brother or whatever but see the boss right right all right we're going you know i mean you can see this guy still coming up in u.s. politics and to me he's one of those people that we need to get as far away from blackwater you saw trump pardon the blackwater guys who killed those people in iraq and it really is now sort of square i mean you know you see this company keep rising its ugly head up and it's like the hydra you it's like once you think ok we finally got rid of blackwater x.e. you're whatever it's changed its name to suddenly it's back again now that quiet for a minute and actually i think it's just that we're not really paying attention because they're always drumming up something somewhere you know and again their political
10:42 am
interest or whatever their interns happen to be at the time always star about what they're doing and there's no way no way not only not tracking but also holding them accountable for basically assisting in overthrows creating shadow governments and then up and leaving and disappearing for the next 3 or 4 years until they pop up in the news again for something heinous they don't know stuff we're. already as we go to break remember you can also start watching the hawks on demand to the brand new portable t.v. up which is now available on all platforms. coming up the trump united states immigration policy is slowly being dismantled dismantled in this dismembered and asylum seekers are finally finally being allowed by the united states in the 1st 30 allen joins us to discuss the stay tuned for watching the.
10:43 am
the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person of those great. the day or thinks. we hear him to ask. the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interests well you see in this these techniques is the state devising methods to him to essentially destroy the personality of an individual. by
10:44 am
scientific. this is how one doctor's theories were allegedly used in psychological warfare against prisoners deemed a danger to the state that was the foundation of the method of psychological interrogation psychological torture of the cia disseminated within the us intelligence community and worldwide among our allies for the next 30 years and how the victims say they still live with the consequences today. greetings on salyut a ship. welcome to 2020 season 2 or 2022 k
10:45 am
one your video game player. yes it appears that 2021 is looking to build on the roller coaster of tragedy and brutal strangeness of 2020 with a host of new plot twists and villains and one of those villains is wonder storm yuri. who decimated a majority of united states last week most notably in the great state of texas where freezing rain snow and frozen temperatures expose the citizens of the lone star state to the grim meat hook reality of u.s. infrastructure you see in texas a staggering mix of deregulation hubris and greed combined with mother nature's freezing temperatures led to the large scale failure of the state's power grid strain gas fired nuclear power plants and frozen wind turbines left more than $4000000.00 without power in the storm's immediate aftermath including some who had been in the dark for more than 24 hours and now with pipes still bursting water
10:46 am
gushing power fluctuating and more than 50 to 70 dead and counting many citizens of texas are now facing true insult to injury no i'm not talking about their political leaders from senators to mayors ducking out to old can coon or declaring that texans need to stop asking for bush was the handouts like well you know running water or electricity no i'm talking about that most american of insults receiving a bill for your tragedy yes the new york times vox and others are now reporting that quote some texans have been hit with power bills totaling as much as $17000.00 for only a few days of electricity but thankfully while the people of texas in the rest of the united states were desperately trying to stay warm one news organization was there to keep them informed with one of the most important political news stories and facts of our day president joe biden's dog. take it away greg kelly
10:47 am
newsmax did you see the dog let's go i want to show you something i noticed that he look a little a little rough i love dogs but this dog needs a bath and a comb and all kinds of loving care i've never seen a dog in the white house like this i've said i remember buddy i remember millie i remember lots of dogs but not a dog who seems i don't know i don't know how much love and kerry is getting let's bring in the historian. wow so while americans are freezing to. gas and electric companies are raping and pillaging we get a story about the white house dog and we wonder why we are so ill informed about our failing infrastructure and failed state of modern capitalism. i think it's time to start watching the heart. on a city street. letter so let's see this is joyce
10:48 am
state. strays see this least systemic deception is so much. so that you'll. read welcome everybody to watching the hawks i am i wrote to her and i don't need to cross that so major this is pretty incredible looking at all what what went down this last week i mean this really is a dire testament to the failed state of our infrastructure is that no you're absolutely correct it's also a testament to the failed state of people believing or not believing it. in a system that has been show tried and true when it comes to wind when energy wind turbines but also how a state could basically have its own grid system. you like just like we talked about this earlier with what happened with new orleans after katrina there have been so many papers written so much research done by the army corps of engineers

letting people know 101518 years ahead of time that because of what we were seeing with a lot of the natural disasters the potential was going to be deadly a lot of that same thing happened in texas and the leaders just would not listen that seems to be the case over and over and over again when you combine that kind of we're not going to listen to the warnings about the potential failures of our just collapsing infrastructure systems we're going to allow you know we're going to deregulate allow these companies to put greed before safety and security of the people using these companies. you know when you see that kind of thing happen over and over again there's a certain point we just have to say ok when is enough when is enough enough what are people really going to stand up and say we don't want to be treated like this i mean more we have basic rights to you know elect. city and warmth well part of the issue was that texas has for you know ever stood as the state that wants to be
10:50 am
anti-government and they want to be a state that doesn't want to have any level of government control it's all about individual freedoms and liberty good things in theory but when it comes to something like this when it comes to putting private sector interests above people because that's what happened they created this deal they knew going into it with the potential just might be we know that these natural disasters and these weather patterns are only going to get more harsh over the next few years we're seeing it so kudos to everyone who has been knocking down that door and that wall for the past 2030 years letting elected officials know that this was coming it's fresh trading that we still haven't seen texas legislative leaders actually sit back and say they could have done something different we don't see that move at all they actually blame this on the green new deal the wind energy they have blamed it on so many things other than what actually happened and it's really sad because then when you couple that just adequacy years leaders and failed leadership really across the board with you don't know the greed of these electrical companies and when when you
10:51 am
go you know 63 year old army veteran scott willoughby was highlighted in the media over the weekend lives on social security payments he got hit according to new york times with a $16000.00 electric bill because he's on what they call like the he buys like their electricity wholesale in the deregulated market of texas i mean that's $60000.00 you've got nicholas' mulattoes over received a $3000.00 bill he told the media quote everyone in texas is about deregulation and greedy as a whole so the company as a whole so actressy provider is the most deregulated you can get and this just goes to show why regulation is important because sure in the short term it's great but them's the situations like this arise where it gets out of control and he i think brought up a good point as a customer saying look we love the romanticism of the deregulated perfectly running market but we know that. that doesn't exist no they don't these markets are bill or profit share and that's the end of the story and i think that democrats really need to push harder against this deregulation period that has
10:52 am
a lot of support actually until you see crises like this because those bills are not going to go away people are getting bills higher than that in the hundreds of thousands over the next few days many of which you know we've seen on twitter who actually posted their be all the oh that's just ridiculous they have no means of paying this money back no but the electric company did offer them deferred payments like what we know you can do it now so maybe maybe later this summer $17.00 and put you know you i was. libya is back in the news as the country is minister of the interior barely escapes an assassination attempt and information is released on blackwater's role in a play and a government overthrow party's alex mileage has the story. it's been called a hit and run military campaign in 2011 a nato led regime change operation helped dismantle libya's government leading to the brutal killing of the country's leader moammar gadhafi. after that many say the country was a bad did by the western military coalition dividing libya and leading to

10:56 am
it comes to ever actually being investigated for their meddling in wrongdoing if i don't know where we go from here if things like blackwater isn't working as they should they will never be dismantled they have a ton of covert operations and they try to keep hands off of them and he's not even from what i understand not even directly in charge of it anymore because of all the controversy and things like that he brought but you know just because he's not officially in charge doesn't mean that you can you know i'm sure people could still find the connections or still find his influences over these i mean when you look back and stop at the bigger picture this is you know mercenaries like blackwater and all that essentially came out of the failed 2nd gulf war under bush it's one our u.s. military decided to suddenly start no longer having the military do jobs and you know essentially saying well we're going to put it in the hands of private industry as opposed to having our guys do this and this is what you have is the rise of these kind of mercenary corporations that are going on controlled unchecked and run rampant around the world and that begs the question how do you any is there
10:57 am
a method of controlling them because clearly there is no there is no regulatory faction for them they are basically free to do when they want sometimes that directed by other governments oftentimes not there happens there has to be what is there what is their motive for these actions because they pick and choose very strategically who they're going to get involved with and when but also they don't really fall under any if they don't they fall outside of regular jurisdiction i think that's one of the most pressure aiding parts it truly is because it's hard to track you know because they get all the rights of a private corporation and they're generally people with high security clearances who get into these things i mean they become some of the most shadowy organizations on the planet and you know to me it whenever you look at like everywhere erik prince is career is gone you know destruction has followed you know it's kind of a you know that's good. again my opinion but i mean it's hard to disagree with that when you look at him i mean you saw him with his you know fingers in the trumpet ministration and all of that was the cousin or brother or whatever but see the boss
