tv   Watching the Hawks  RT  April 20, 2021 9:30pm-10:01pm EDT

9:30 pm
it's you know today a boom today i feel like singing my hawk watching friends i feel like singing one of my favorite political songs of the past 20 years because united states president joseph biden has decided that he will finally be the one to end the u.s. war in afghanistan the longest running war in u.s. history yep just like former presidents donald trump and barack obama tried to do before him joe biden has now taken up the mantle of promising to bring u.s. troops home from afghanistan and by the historically significant and big ratings date of september the 11th 2021 no less but but but what about all those russian bounties on u.s. soldiers heads you ask you know the ones that just last year outraged all of capitol hill and prevented former u.s. brand name and donald trump from an acting his plans to withdraw soldiers from afghanistan well apparently that was all in joe biden's words
9:31 pm
a larky yes in the wake of the by the ministrations announcement on withdrawing from afghanistan last tuesday m b c news reported that the by did ministration also made clear in a fact sheet released thursday that the cia's intelligence on the matter is far from conclusive acknowledging that analysis labeled it to moderate confidence this combined with the fact that the u.s. military the u.s. military officials that have no corroborating evidence to russian bountygate and what do you have left sitting before you is one big steaming pile of political you know where i'm going with that but last amidst all the wonderful celebrations of biden's september 11th troop withdrawal plan is the fact that he's actually extending our soldiers' stay in afghanistan reason dot com reports that biden's plan. will force some $3000.00 american troops to spend an additional 4 months
9:32 pm
risking their lives in afghanistan seemingly in the name of symbolism rather than heading to the rather than holding to the may 1st deadline which was established by the trumpet ministration last year. ah and those 4 months my friends those 4 months give the war hawks here in washington d.c. more time to doctor up some new russian bountygate type of justification for us to stay and continue fighting in afghanistan why a. because this is the war the. yes it goes on and on my friends some people started biting it a long long time ago and now they keep on fighting it for ever just because this is the war that. is going to sing milledge start watching the. what's going on a city the streets you want to. pursue which. is this you always
9:33 pm
state. rice is crazy see this sleaze systemic deception is to late show which. some real. world who were born watching the hawks. and i would be surprised i'm sorry i had to say i'm sorry i didn't know you have that's how it's not. you know it but you know i've made fun of the war tragically because it is it's the war that never just like the lamb chop song it never the war that never ends now once again we have a 3rd president barack obama tried donald trump drive now joe biden all saying ok this time joe joe biden september 11th is the bay we're pulling everybody out do you think that that will actually happen to think that we'll see that well i think you know the public is going to hold his feet to the fire on this one because he made this declaration mitt's obviously in many ways campaigning for democrats for
9:34 pm
the midterms like a lot of the moves that biden is making right now or to ensure that many of the topical areas and policy areas that matter to the american public on either side of the aisle are tipping the scales for democrats come midterms but i also think that the fatigue of americans when it comes to the war in afghanistan were garridos of your partisan strike is very high most americans have wanted to be out of afghanistan don't want their family members out of afghanistan or years now this is a generational war i was 13 and a freshman in high school when we went there at this point have gotten a bash. is it greed 2 masters is reason a professional career many of the kids who i graduated high school with have 13 year olds today so who at this point it's the question is why and i think that there are so many people rallied around not even wondering why at this point they just wanted to be older and there's a great point that you bring up which is generational war because of the you know we did a story on a couple months back about how you have now fathers whose sons are fighting in the same cities they fought in afghanistan is that bad at this point i also want to end
9:35 pm
the danger of those is like i said the one thing originally made 1st well then that's now pushed to september 11th the danger that is that you know have that time for those war hawks those new york is the kind of the war mongers on the warmongers on the left the kind of get into the year and start maybe change that maybe something will happen that are going to stand that will change that john bolton the former george w. bush and donald trump of military buys to read out a full unconditional retreat of u.s. forces from afghanistan is reckless thinks john joe biden is leaving and 11 regardless of other considerations the war is over the afghan government will likely fall in the terrorists will enjoy a resurgence threatening america you know i'm getting real tired of the whole line of like oh my gosh the terrorists are threatening america at every turn and that's why we need to be overseas wasting countless lives and money and wars the again will never and so my frustration with that comment in john bolton in general. a
9:36 pm
member of the truman national security project what the organization does is put together policy minds as well as those who have served at various levels of the military and the majority of the organization agrees that this troop pullout is the thing that needs to be done and i've been talking about it for a very long time i do think that there are stability questions in the region that we need to look at but those are also issues that we can work through with our partners around you know the economic stability but also intelligence we don't necessarily need american troops to be there to be able to work through these issues and we also need to ensure that our partners are just as engaged as. we are in preventing you know taliban spread or you know any types of occurrences where there may be uprisings those are things that we need to work out as a partnership not things that we need to be there for what how long is long enough we've already been there for generations we've got the lithium what else do we need from a you know i mean i'd say those drugs but it's probably true but you know the other thing that got me with this whole story too was the last year when amounts to this
9:37 pm
big withdrawal from then immediately you know with this story came out from an anonymous tip from the cia saying that oh my goodness the russians put bounties on us soldiers over there well now that this week and last week has been pretty much debugged by the by the administration which is a little convenient like hey we're going to announce our withdrawal date and now we're going to debunk the story that kept trump from getting here's the draw a bit and i get that but it's kind of crazy on all fronts because when you really think about that the russian about anything let's not forget the back and i do maybe of the united states supplied osama bin laden at the time in the movie with stinger missiles but even the cia tweeted about recently talking about as if it's some sacred piece of u.s. history all of that just drives me nuts. glenn greenwald wrote and i want to get your reaction this is the people who call themselves journalist repeat over and over and over evidence free cia claims telling those who trust them to believe it is nothing short of repulsive are we too quick to like but we're not too quick but i mean it just boggles my mind how quick the media will just jump on anything that
9:38 pm
someone on a missing person says from the cia or the intelligence committee no i think that's absolutely true and that's happened regardless of what administration or what you know partisan stripe is in power i do think that when it comes to the russian bounty issue what we saw was a quake in the media even during the time that it was released most people knew that there wasn't enough to actually make it true they didn't have anything to substantiate such a case but i think that victory all for the trump administration was so high that at that point it was just something else we can tag the top administration for even though there were 5000 other really legitimate and that they had to back it up and that's the dangerous thing is. just because you don't like what the administration is doing wrong would be just for those without checking to see if it's b.s. 1st exactly. the 9 minutes and 29 seconds derek sheldon's meat was placed on george boyd's and it resulted in his death and set all the longest organized protests in american history the shogun trial has wrapped up with a verdict of guilty on all counts no one was watching with more anticipation than
9:39 pm
black americans the demographic that bears the brunt of police brutality and excessive force throughout the trial we heard more and more about the prone position the type of cool showman use to pin down george floyd that physical hole isn't just used in street policing it's used daily in america's public schools in fact thousands of students in minnesota are restraining each school year even though policy makers have worked overtime to reduce the recurrence of physical holes educators themselves use the tactic thousands of times each year according to state and federal data as longer rando rim co-founder and executive director of the center for learning equity finds physical restraint is used as a routine disciplinary tool specially against black children brando room said quote restraint is a problem across the board and we shouldn't be surprised that we're seeing it in schools if we're seeing it among train police officers that are not able to deescalate situations and they end up restraining and killing people and unlike the
9:40 pm
millions of people who watch the video and pressed his knee into the it's neck the use of restraint in schools often goes under the radar. i think a she might think these holes didn't happen in 2020 because of distance learning you'd be wrong prior to the pandemic shutting down schools more than 2800 students were subject to over 12600 this course trains in the 21920 school year alone while that is an amazing statistic and out think it's important because you know as we saw this guilty verdict across the board trial you know as we were talking earlier on in question there's still. work to be done and this is one that i've never even heard about the use of these restraints against kids especially black children in schools so it definitely doesn't get the attention that is deserved actually before coming here at r t what my primary work was an exclusionary practice and discipline on the policy side so civil rights organizations have been fighting against the use of these
9:41 pm
extreme disciplinary practices in schools for quite some time now the obama administration worked hard to not only elevate concern but also to showcase just how many schools and how rampant this issue actually is and the trans mirror exactly what we're seeing in the police and community the people who are attacked the most are african-american boys and teens and students who have learning disabilities who are seeing it you know at higher levels with children with autism in children who have developmental disabilities so this is the way that teachers themselves and sometimes they call in you know as our own school resource officers but oftentimes it is teachers themselves who are grabbing and holding these young people in the exact same positions we saw their children use against your exploit and nothing is ever really said about it that's truly remarkable to me is it is that all but is that because this is the thing that gets on the musket and i feel like you're going to say yes this is the reason is it that that's true about life today but it's true you know is the reason simply based on those standard stereotypes and urban legends and the kind of thing that gets pumped into society
9:42 pm
that o'barr children misbehave mordant white children and like all of that garbage the just kind of seeps its way into the national consciousness. julie white supremacy and racism have been rampant throughout you know the majority of our institutions schools are not are not you know we're standing in that sense but when it comes to what we're seeing in schools and i can tell you this from personal experience but it was also you know documented by congress there was a 3 year old 3 year old little black boy who was held down by 3 teachers this was a special needs child held down in the pro position just 4 years ago had to testify before congress about his experience because you his teacher said that he was big he was strong he lifted her and she felt threatened by it's hardly a toy so yes what we saw in the george murder trial is the same type of defense is used even when it's a very small child because if you're black especially if you're black a mill you're always seen as bigger and stronger and having superhuman strength and
9:43 pm
ability even if you're theory which which we're designed germs to the you know why do they even go to jump to physical restraint in the 1st place i mean i'm a bad dog and by the way back it would be in his area that you know you would corporal punishment they would actually you know welcome on the boat with a paddle if a kid did some wrong in school painfully we move beyond that i hope most plays in this country but then when i hear about this it blows my mind why are they even using physical what excuses do they give. is that the last resort is the 1st resort why is this even though it's supposed to be standard practice in terms of a last resort because the the student was going to harm themselves and. but what we've seen is that when these cases are actually investigated or even when there is eyewitnesses other students in the classroom or you know teachers aides and things like that that that is absolutely not the case and this is a practice that is being severely abused this is a practice that again is being used on populations that are already disadvantage in disenfranchised and this is a process that we only see being used primarily for african-american boys so i
9:44 pm
think that we really need to dig down into why you know white students who are. you know exhibiting the same types of behaviors are not being given the prone position however we're seeing it happen to black males i think will find the answer in the same way that we find it when it comes to policing is almost like when you talk about it's like mine i'm really just it's like ok we have the school to prison pipeline this is almost like you know be preparing a child for prison abuse their whole life by pipeline like oh just be prepared because you're all we're always going to be able to put our hands on you we're always going to be able to do this kind of thing to you mentioned numbers earlier when i saw the 2800 students and over 12000 visitors states in just 200-100-2020 that's a massive number it's a massive number and people i think assume is going to be smaller because over half a year students were at home yeah this means that in the majority of these cases this was happening in the 1st 3 months of last year so it's pressure rating because on the one hand the argument from a lot of people is this kids back in the back like you want kids to be in school
9:45 pm
but on the other hand there is an amount of here that goes in the in the process particularly for black boys because they were abused by their teachers in schools even this excessive force is not something that's just happening in street policing it is something that is happening every day in k. 12. it's heartbreaking and i hope that people start shouting a bigger light on that. all right everybody as we go to break remember that you can also store watching the hawks on demand through the portable t.v. which is available on every platform you can download an app should definitely go check it out coming up there is a new digital currency making waves of wall street so what did we do we went out and got economist richard wolfe to join us and break it all down stay tuned for that next and so please continue watching the whole.
9:46 pm
it's been decades since the full of spain's fascist regime but old wounds still haven't. done. before we go. to war. on the bus at us as me and they seem to you know. have newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption. to this day mothers still search for grown children while looking in hope for their birth parents.
9:47 pm
and panama the clintons are used to mcconnell the way they are both just as soon as . they could still move it to about. 2 hours in this way got to dog it's really hard not to see the mother decide this is the work life that i want and i know it's dark and i think. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights in this way.
9:48 pm
the floor of the account is the risk whatever you are given at the time of. what i see is this is the fund that is what. thank. you. are americans one robin-hood click away from being the wolves of wall street or script or currency the new fool's gold millennial xin nontraditional investor types are excited about a new crypto currency that began out of a job dosed point dogecoin began as a mean but is now trading at an asset worth over $50000000000.00 that's more than some of the nation's most lucrative publicly held companies like the hotel giant
9:49 pm
marriott international and the ford motor company. this looks eerily similar to the game stop a nominee that sit social media into a frenzy is traders recognize video games still matter and those would help their stock became quite wealthy very quickly but the latest market episode point is getting a ton of attention because it started as somewhat of an april fool's joke the transformed into a real acid. today is d. day across the internet and the price of the crypto currency continues to rise crypto currency is the new baby of the finance world but that doesn't seem to stop people from believing it the currency is prone to volatility but the risks aren't stopping investors. americans are even using stimulus checks to get their share of those coins can tell us more about the mysteries of those coin and kept a currency as a professor of economics at international fair think hope founder of democracy at work richard wolffe welcome. thank you welcome to me and welcome to you as
9:50 pm
well richard we're going to get right to it why it's crypto currency gaining so much attention and why do you think every day americans are more attracted to investing in. well you know in many ways it's the latest financial fair it's the latest promise that you can become very wealthy very quickly by lacking on to the thing that will fall you into the evidence almost always in the history of the stock market this kind of a story as and deadly so i would caution the everyone watching the very very careful we have they already had dominant player bitcoin they've been around longer than doubles they've been around longer than most of the others that are barreling into this space hoping to cash in on gullible people hoping you know like i'm listening to a flim flam man and we've learned over the years this system produces so i'd be
9:51 pm
very cautious the one thing that makes sense in this crypto currency is the following with a computer with blocks chain and other kinds of technology people can take payments to one another without having to go through banks without having to pay all the fees without having the government able to control every step of the way and have a record of who you gave how much money to lend and for what this is a very tempting way to get around all of that and still have money earn money and because in the world is full of governments. buying on their people buying on other countries people trying to control the economy especially in these days of volatility it's a it's an idea whose time has come but because everybody's cashing in and the governments are now getting itchy to control it all it's very dicey as to which way
9:52 pm
it's gonna go you know you hear a lot of people comparing the phenomenon with bosko and its major jumps on the market with what we all saw recently happen with the with the game stop stock is there are similarities unless i'm in what's happening are these 2 different kind of phenomenon that just look the same from the outside. well there are similarities the biggest one is if you coordinate through the internet for example and get an awful lot a little people to do the same thing at the same time you can boost a stock well for that matter just roya stop and then all of the in this and bystanders seeing that things are really going up or come in and they get fleeced when it collapses and the people who started the whole thing bail out leaving the but this has been going on in the stock market for centuries this is just the latest swarm of the dog and i notice that the by the administration is
9:53 pm
already gearing up to control there is because they don't like the idea that all these transactions can be done without the government knowing any other government in the world is doing it so even the little bit of freedom that you now see playing around dangerous as it is is pretty soon going to come under a whole passel of control i just read one of the things that jumped out to me about digital currency and bitcoin for example is the you know you centrally mine it and but it's really just people saying that something has value at the end of the day it really doesn't have any real world. you and isn't there an argument to be made the other side to that since a lot of countries of the us has gone off the gold standard got off to something that actually backed their dollar that it's kind of the same principle that we say the dollar has of value but there's really nothing behind it that actually gives a value is that correct. absolutely but i'm afraid i have to disappoint you this is
9:54 pm
true for gold if people didn't believe that gold could be translated into purchases of goods and services they wouldn't be so eager to hold it either it's really always a question of recognizing what the risks and rewards are for everything but is there anything it's riskless that's finally guaranteed in certain death and taxes i believe are the only 2 things. and richard if you count alluded to this earlier but it is those coin it at a very up and if it going to go away anytime soon how is crypto currency change the way bat your every day investor is or actually looking at the market because it seems as though they are individuals who were so far away from washing with so far away from main street that kind of brings them a little bit closer or do you think that that is just an illusion social media has created for people. know it is getting closer and i'll tell you the basic reason
9:55 pm
why the more of these coins and these kinds of crypto currencies can be congress in the world actually used by people to settle their debts to buy and sell things the more you create a problem for regular businesses if they want customers they are asked to accept the point don't judge any of the others more and more because if they don't their competitor will that's the valar that's what the whole cryptocurrency wants to achieve a nothing except that it's no matter how much hype it takes so that finally the regular business world will have to accept it and then they'll have a position where they actually have something of value to give people because you can use it across the board at this point it's still a gamble but we're getting. closer when people like tesla and others accept
9:56 pm
payment on full payment in big coin or as some of these other group the curtains were drawn always love having you on the show and thank you for educating our audience today on this subject always a pleasure sir my pleasure thank you as well. fascinating stuff fascinating stuff you're going to buy a ton aren't you who i don't know after hearing his report having aman do you think . they will wave or move but it will you know it reminds me a lot of like early back in early eighties hundreds late sometimes we had a lot of different versions of the dollar and finally was all kind of coalesced into one it's seems kind of similar a similar things going to happen i think with digital currency exactly where we might see at least 3 or 4 more rares before the end of the year most definitely already voted out of our show for today remember in this world you're definitely not told to look it up so i tell you all you go with a nominee sticker off keep on watching those folks out there have a great day and that is.
9:57 pm
when the central bank will claim is that this is a big the most crime when they print money and yet we don't see that on the ground we see a lot of violence on the ground and that goes directly to the feds door they have responsibility for that. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. what is truth what's his face.

pick it up. but i think it is this is the fans that is a constant. thought . psychiatric drugs are essential for millions of patients rather they want that pill that they hope will take care of their problem thoroughly and rapidly in the short term they really work the problem is in the long term and mostly disastrous suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition it was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines ending up
