check it out so you don't call more social media as well from the headlines making news right now today in the metro crush subway crush in mexico city today that will develop i'm sure it's run the day for now though for me kevin 0 in on the rest of the to have a good choose day. well look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given by human beings except we're such a conflict with the 1st law show your identification for should be very careful about official intelligence and the point of view see is to create trust ever the shia. only take on theories chaing with artificial intelligence will summon the demon.
6:31 am
the obama must protect its own existence let's go next. to what males have tended to do and still do is we tend to we certainly have empathy and all of that but we also tend to do nurture through aggression so we create things like soccer and football and you know all of the various hundreds of games that involve aggression you know women are aggressive and can play those games no doubt very well but when you go back to why they were created those jobs were created for males to nurture other males to aggression and to teach them how to be empathic few aggression. nepotism plus despotism. is what we've got going on around the world and all these
6:32 am
different it's so obvious now to everybody including the rank and file politicians that the money printing pass' the poverty rate increases that while think of gap and and increases the unemployment and the social misery that comes with it. greetings and salutations as u.s. president joe biden wrapped up in a bit full 1st $100.00 days in office he hits several high marks biden signed into law a $1.00 trillion dollar coronavirus relief bill he's pushing full speed ahead on a multi-trillion dollar infrastructure and jobs plan and $200000000.00 kovacs in shots were successfully administered but it's not all rainbows and butterflies biden's approval rating overall is 54 percent according to yahoo news but americans
6:33 am
view the country as more divided than united since by took office race relations are at a boiling point following the george boyd protests the derricks to open trial verdict and continued murders of unarmed black americans at the hands of the police. biden can't seem to find consensus on police reforms or civil rights broadly and with razor thin margins of democratic control in the house and the senate substantive change is highly unlikely it doesn't help that people like republican senator tim scott doesn't believe america has a race problem seriously in a goodie bag speak to the republican talking points scott had this to say. america is not a racist country. despite scott being dead wrong ironically leading democrats fighting institutional racism and declaring black lives matter echoed his comments here's looking at you president biden and vice president camila harris
6:34 am
even house majority whip jim clyburn joined in saying quote we should stop arguing about whether or not this is a racist country it's not. going on another for arguing about whether or not this is a racist country it's not. and on another front biden has his work cut out for him in trying to pass and gain public support for his $2.00 trillion dollars american jobs plan the plan has everything including an expanded definition of infrastructure the biggest chunk of the $1.00 trillion dollars would go towards transportation and community building the remainder of more than $180000000000.00 would involve investments in research and development workforce manufactory and elder care but it faces an uphill battle by knows this and is taking to the streets to gain support for the plain can it work it's time we start watching the hawks. and they see you straight. there so let's see rises you only
6:35 am
state you see. this great city this least systemic deception is please show. some real. welcome everybody to watching the hogs i'm amazed across cairo is on vacation joining me now is an all star panel featuring britney lee lewis professor of african-american history at george washington university preston mitchum policy director with urge unite for reproductive and gender equity and rob richardson host of the disruption now podcast welcome everyone good to be here. first of all i'm going to see you britney biden's 1st 100 days in office they were not a real walk in the park he came in under that outrage of an illegitimate election false claims of an election fraud and an insurrection not to mention a country in shambles overcoat in 1000 how do you manage expectations and is he on track with bringing america back. you know over all these i think he's doing the
6:36 am
best that he can considering the circumstances that he came into i mean we certainly are getting the virus under control we have and he literally has over essential we give it he's given us way more than he said he was going to get in terms of these vaccines and so many more americans are able to enjoy their enjoy their work lives again and enjoy family and elderly are able to hang out each other so i think you certainly go on the right direction and i think one of the biggest in doing is of course the infrastructure proposal i think that has huge implications for us as we continue to battle on the competitive market national stance to the railways clean water and energy. and piggybacking off of that president president biden is pushing a 2 point the ring trillion dollar american jobs plan it's taken hits from the left and the right for its cost and an expanded definition of infrastructure how can he sell it and do you think that that redefining of infrastructure helps or hurts the
6:37 am
point. well but he sells it by doing what he's done i thought he's done a really good job actually framing it around jobs and we are at this point i thought a very interesting that are that the republican party always found religion when it comes to deficits after they run up the largest deficits in history like they do this every single time you look back without exception every president before a democratic president suddenly they run up the deficit come out oh my god the deficit the deficit we have a crumbling infrastructure and you just look at we focus back on the fact that yes we need to it's probably still not enough but it's but this is a really really good start and no matter what republicans say they're going to find a reason to be against it no matter what joe manchin says republicans are not going to vote for it they can do everything that republicans are saying right now say this unequivocally they can do everything the republicans are saying they want this bill and the republicans will find another reason not the past so democrats have to get on board to say their goal is to pass things republicans job is to make sure
6:38 am
the democrats don't get things accomplished it has nothing to do on the republican side on helping the american people has everything to do with making president biden look bad and if democrats could actually understand that this is just frame train frame the issue we're trying to create jobs we're trying to make sure that we have bridges that don't fall we're trying to create cheap are not only keep america safe but let's actually invest in infrastructure for the 21st century because look it's not just about roads and bridges to be to be effective you need you need broadband that's part of infrastructure you need a digital infrastructure as well so when you stop having these old arguments and joe biden has to continue to do what he's doing they need to be more bold about it they need to get joe manchin and forgot the other senator from arizona but these people who just got off the satellite actually support america stop playing games and he needs to put pressure on them that's what he's doing i don't know how you do it but that means they have because they need to ask the quit playing games that's right and preston it's the quote her around the world america isn't a racist quote is it a racist country that made headlines as
6:39 am
a black man in an era of racial reckoning echoing his. parties believes that racism is essentially an illusion and surprisingly common hair is joe biden and jim clapper and all democrats seemingly agree with him preston you recently wrote an article titled the united states is was and will always be racist can you expand on that in your sentiments regarding harrison joe biden support of a very questionable argument. sure and thank you for having me what's incredibly disappointing though likely not surprising is the regurgitation of the g.o.p. talking points even by democrats quite frankly has a really great point and it is that whenever we have democrats that are you know elected into office so for example the white house we do this delicate balance of really trying to appease the centrist white voters who frankly don't care about our viewpoints anyway no matter what we do they're going to continue to believe whatever they believe push back on democrats no matter what the policy or law is so
6:40 am
on this particular case dog was not surprised by vice president peres and president biden's affirmation of statements what i was particularly concerned was with the fact that what we talked about in the statement was notions of white supremacy but it's racism doesn't exist then who are the white supremacist who hold onto white supremacy and letters by the ether someone holds onto these institutions and someone holds on to their personal beliefs and ideologies of racism you know racism it's not about he trip right there it's instead she is systemic and i think what's really recognize that racism is not just about state actors it's about the individual's ability to actually let the system that continue to perpetuate systems of racism and there's a particular reason why black and brown communities are desperate for further ostracized and it's not by our own doing it's because it's to me harm by years of racism that exists today and i want to love to bring out sorry go ahead rob quickly
6:41 am
even even the problem with this is that the problem with when president biden and vice president harris go along with this narrative is that it undercuts the argument that they're making so ok so let's let's take the infrastructure bill in the actual infrastructure bill there are things to address the racist policies of all of the highway system literally whole communities black communities just through it destroyed because we said well those communities don't matter. when you talk. about trying to do police reform one of those issues that's because of racism the reason why officers are architected for shooting an unarmed black man a black woman is because we don't value black lives what are we talking about so like when you answer the question of like so it defeats your argument goes that you agree with me they'll say research doesn't exist so why do you keep talking about racism then they're going to start starter and over themselves and we're out we're going to have to leave it there i'm definitely going to be inviting you all back this is being great richardson preston and brittany a leader louis thank you so much. america's immigration system has been
6:42 am
right for form for over 4 decades politicians on both the left and the right and everywhere in between have promised to strengthen our borders create a less cumbersome path for immigrants on the road to citizenship and restructure asylum policies yet year after year the u.s. falls flat in keeping its immigration reform promises secretary of state anthony blinken told 60 minutes in an interview sunday night the bight administration inherited a totally broken system the surge at the border is not a republican fantasy it's very real guys in march more than 17000 migrants were taken into custody the highest number in 2 decades much of the surge is driven by desperation and false information provided by traffickers who say the u.s. border is opened. and as you can recall migrant families being separated from their children was a trending topic throughout the top administration
6:43 am
a handful of those families could be in for united as early as this week for families will be we can apply through a task force created by president biden but advocates aren't going to party just yet immigration attorney alan moore joins us now with more on this developing story glad to have you alan. thank you for having me i think the story of the day with regard to the poor families is that made by the ministration didn't do as much as they're claiming do at this point that a lot was done by community service individuals to sort of meet the need and it's really a 1000 families who have to be reunited and whether trying to broken system or not you're now in charge of it and that's the way government works so what do you do about it it's a real question and how are you going to fix it and success story for them is that actually they are 82 percent down on immigrants they were holding up the southern border but the problem remains of the high impact of deportations that they're doing to black immigrants across the board specifically haitians with haiti is in
6:44 am
a turmoil at this time and place so we're looking for that by an administration to sort of step up and do exactly what they said they would do which is return american to humane system and while today you heard that they've increased the number of refugees back to the original number that he said during the campaign. america still exists less immigrants overall refugees regular green card holders than almost have the most powerful biggest nations are small enough in the world less than switzerland and less than australia less than canada so it's time for us to really step into the new generation is starting. to start rebuilding united states. allen what do you feel are some of the reasons why we're seeing growing numbers of migrants at the border and what can we by diminish nation do to combat or slow the search. so i think becoming a coat of search might not be the best way to perpetrate but i understand that the media the weight of media sees it and it seems like an influence but it's always been this way one of the best ways to do it is exactly what the vice president is
6:45 am
doing which is trying to stabilize the region but as we understand it climate change even if united states we're seeing strains whether it's right now in georgia or calling people to lose or to move from where they are as well as shortages as well as work shortages so the best solution would be if there were a legal path for these individuals to come in to work and in return then that would be wrong because right now what we see is there are a lot of jobs that are going to make it in the holes. in hotel cleaning because americans feel as if that's not want to do it. and we need immigrants to sort of come in and build that back labor as well as we can progress on the top and to do teaching to our students as well as the development that we see happen over again with tech companies such as google and apple and sort of pull our infrastructure back in keeping people out there keeping immigrants out only means you keeping the global production out of the united states and other things are going to happen in other places like canada. and allen what are some of the administration's plans to advance copperhead comprehensive immigration reform like you just spoke of we heard
6:46 am
a few weeks ago that biden placed vice president kamel harris at the forefront of curbing immigration and unaccompanied children can a diplomatic anti-poverty and international development plans help border security and enforcement. yeah so i think we're looking at it this is always been the game with the republican party to talk about and force them really talking about immigration and if you remove the concept of thinking of someone other as a threat then you really don't have that security or because it's really someone who are often miles is not really infrastructure is great to the united states or people who are sort of looking for food or to reunite their families that's a talking point is sort of divide people and to make them look as if they're going to take something the problem isn't with the white house or even with the democrats the problem are and continue has been the republicans and joe manchin and christine said we're not getting behind and sort of making this happen dreamers we've been talking about for 2 years and they haven't passed as we move closer to the midterms once again politicians are going to be politicians and start talking about what
6:47 am
they're going to do rather than doing what they can do and what we need to step up right now is the senate because the house has already passed that number one ratio that are sitting in the senate that could be passed that we could easily pass dreamers right away we can easily deal with t.p.s. right away and there's been a lot of 1000000 people waiting for 10 years to get a resolution to whether they can afford their ration system or if there's something else going to happen what what our government is doing right now is nothing with regard to immigration and that's not ok that congress not a lot of things are moving in congress and that's becoming highlighted by his leadership where the republican right now is democrat thank you so much for joining me alan and we'll definitely have to have you back on possibly even plater this week thanks so much thanks so much. as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hogs on demand to the brand new portable t.v.'s available on all platforms coming up we'll dive into the n.f.l. draft and british sports boycotting social media stay tuned to watching the.
6:48 am
this nepotism clause despotism is what we've got going on around the world and all these different it's so obvious now to everybody including the rank and file politicians that the money printing causes the poverty rate increases that while think of gap and income and increases the unemployment and the softball misery that comes with it. we start to add to. the need for good. but on the better side going to the balkans some so that this isn't just.
6:49 am
me move from i mean she must go if you will still be stuck or your muscles in the course of your knee. but i was just. chill the. compassion that. we think she minds be soldier deep is also the boot she's wearing. to church so the sold out so to keep the opposing opinion with you i'm going to sure stuck with summarizing a police force. you
6:50 am
couldn't go anywhere in america over the past few days without getting caught up in the n.f.l. draft buds bessie came out big especially for those alarms of the university of alabama. all in all 5 quarterbacks were taken in the 1st round of the 2021 in f.l. draft and that total doubled by weekends in these young men their stories and their hopes for the future show brightly across our television screens well until they got upstaged by green bay packers quarterback aaron rodgers who might not be donning the green and gold for much longer. but there is more buzz in sports than the draft lightweight boxer video faces federal charges and british sports are set to boycott social media here to tell us more is our sports producer regina hamm glad to have your dream thanks for having me well regina we know that the draft is always full of surprises this year was no different it felt slightly predictable but before all that there was a shocking twist with someone who wasn't even part of the draft class can you
6:51 am
recount. all rogers gave us a call rogers gave you heard her 1st aaron rodgers kind of a shock to the football world by saying you know what i'm i'm good i've had enough in green bay i would like to leave and everybody's brain collectively probably imploded i mean i know 1 that your guy i know by he has legitimate reason they drafted a project in last year's draft so green bay could be positioning him for his way out and maybe he's just like i don't want to sit around me for this to happen a piece i was things like a breath or redux all over it is very much it was the same cycle you know people judge me is going to jeopardy that is that's going to have the bunkers up but coming to the draft you know it was no surprise for larson 1st overall every meyer was touting that for weeks we all knew it 1st the 2nd picture was usually pretty predictable the jets drafted a quarterback known as the mormon holmes and if you are you after that things got interesting not you harris you know is one of the heartwarming stories of the draft he was homeless with his 4 siblings for a couple years in the area and his draft party mostly players have a draft night party was held at the shelter he lived at and he wanted to give the
6:52 am
kids there that special experience and that is one of the things that the n.f.l. draft you get these amazing stories that come out of college football and that was one of them you go you know what i'm really glad to see that absolutely i think that i was probably one of the strongest feel good story in there so while watching the draft i think about when stuck with a lot of people from a high point to a low point you know when you're on the disc we always start high and sometimes we go really low like when boxer is facing federal charges in the death of rodriguez who was pregnant when she died. he is no longer mentioned by top rank boxing on their website in the company released a statement in support of mr rodriguez what can we take from this quick response by top rank and what might it mean for other athletes accused of equally or indiscretions so it's a really sad story to hear this come out you know 1st of all the fact that mr de ho was married so this is not the woman he was married to is the woman he had an affair with allegedly he had kidnapped her and killed her thrown her over
6:53 am
a horrific things. and the response very quickly has organised. it literally has no mention of him on the web site anymore images of coming back out nothing their response was we hope this you know the killer is brought to justice and then it's over his family has a bit of closure which you know when someone deeply close to you is murdered there is not a lot of closure and the bigger issue is here in social media discussion well maybe because he was a boxer maybe it was concussion driven maybe there was you know he had some p.t.s.d. from something in the brain that is all well and good and could legitimately be an issue however to go off and kill somebody like this is very heavy and for sports leagues you've seen men commit acts of domestic violence against women in leagues across the country and they don't get this have been clear as much as this ray rice took weeks for disciplinary action to happen and i think this could be as sad of an example as it is in the sports world when you have incidents like this whether it is someone who is viciously beaten by a spouse
6:54 am
a sexual partner or even murdered this is how this is how you react to something like this do you think that this might lead to some change on some of the other leagues and even within the same league because this is this is like we know that you know a lot of heavyweights have been accused of doing things as well you have not seen this type of response you know you have and i think that's the thing is they're kind of setting example they will not tolerate this type of behavior and that is something you do not see a lot of places in the show you don't see a lot of leads organizations even you know you see if something happens you're going to you hear. about it you're our age and then 10 seconds later you're like whoa what was the consequence and they're like oh no consequence ok great because that's what we're used to so hopefully as sad as miss arias is murder was her memory hopefully will serve as a way for athletes to be held accountable for their actions. good thing for everyone. so moving on to british athletics racism in british athletics it isn't surprising but now after leeds are preparing to boycott our major social media
6:55 am
facebook instagram twitter. this comes only heels of you know a lot of advocacy being used against these social media platforms what do you think can come of this in terms of not only revenue but are there are there issues associated with british sports that are going to be elevated by this blocking of social media so this is the 1st time the british soccer especially has been in the forefront of this question of racism it has gone on for decades but now you're having a lot of players like thierry henry he was an arsenal goalkeeper he won all social media a month ago this year 2 months ago actually saying quote tomorrow morning i'll be removing myself from social media and to the people in power able to regulate their platforms with the same vigor and for us who they currently do when you infringe copyright players have gotten harassed and after a bad game they've gotten death threats their families have been threatened mainly athletes of color the play for british soccer and manchester united they've also been saying since $2900.00 they've seen a 350 percent increase in racism towards their players harassment towards their
6:56 am
players so since friday to now about 7 pm our time they are boycotting social media saying we are not going to allow this reason to continue and even fifo put out their own statement saying we support is an issue of cut ties of social media to block out social media to highlight that in football there is no place for racism and they strongly condemn it which are big words from the governing body of soccer however this is going to keep going on $446.00 instances alone last year and social media like no we're really taking it off players like your d.m. . aren't your bots your boss to control what is offensive language are not catching these horrendous things which we will not show you because they are viral and we know that's i mean that's even a problem here in sports we saw all the all of the vitriol all that came out le bron james just a week ago lot of it was race based and quite terroristic in nature and social media that's a funny thing where they're saying funny in a sense they're like we're going to we're going to stamp out racism are going to stamp out all these horrific things are as you want the online community
6:57 am
a safe place really are not making it safe you know making it safe at all you're allowing these things that if i post a check back to hamilton somehow i'm getting banned ok. let's be mindful to. have his own regulations. the 2020 presidential election it's not going to be forgotten not just because of the president from shenanigans on the campaign trail denial of the club in 1000 threat and subsequent spreading of the election fraud big. just over a month after the 2020 presidential election an app called robo killer gave us all a peek into how campaigns advocacy groups were using texts and calls to give a window into the race the app was supposed to block incessant and unwanted automated calls and text but it's successful as a wasn't stopping calls the text they just kept coming by the end of september 2020 republicans sent 1800000000 text and democrats 902000000 swing states got double
6:58 am
that takes attention this move was designed to target younger voters those who cut the cord or skip t.v.'s and found other ways to avoid political messages mobile carriers t. mobile and are hitting back against me messages and political campaigns on a mean. they're walling out changes on who can send text and how much same d.l.c. 10 digit long quote require high volume text services to register with the campaign registry the registry will impose higher fees for messengers who don't register and in many cases blocked them completely this new effort could clear up your text inbox for messages you actually care about. and that is our show for you today and remember everyone in this world we're not told we're loved enough so i tell you i love you i am of the people who are watching the hawks and have a great day and night everyone.
