6:00 pm
greetings and salutations blowback from president obama the rise of white nationalism wolken white supremacy idea of the politics and populism all culminated in donald trump's 2016 presidential victory that moment fed into a widening polarization and weighty attacks on minority groups a blitz against the l g b t community group across republican led states today $33.00 states have introduced more than $100.00 bills aimed at the trans community the majority of these bills our leaders are focused on children and brace yourselves for the discrimination
6:01 pm
taxpayer dollars are funding like bills preventing trans kids from using the restroom or locker room that matches their self i did a vacation bans on participating in same gender you've sports outlawing gender affirming health care and more the bills are aggressive and vary by state in florida the house passed a bill allowing for general inspections of trans athletes you heard that right general inspections of children a bill in texas would allow the state to remove a train from their parent's home because of republican lawmakers mind the train child is a result of unfit parents and sometime a self-appointed trains activist caitlin jenner is making matters worse general publicly came out as trans in a highly publicized sit down interview with diane sawyer in 2015 shortly thereafter at this phase in annual sports award show general received author ash courage award in her acceptance speech waste her support for trans athletes. this week jenner
6:02 pm
announced she's running for governor of california with the hopes of unseating embattled incumbent gavin newsome in an interview with general made a head turning comment i opposed biological boys who are trained from competing in girl sports in school it just isn't fair we have to protect girls sports in our schools. jen identifies as a republican and supported trump in 2016 but how did her views on trans rights change so drastically in just a few years is this what she really believes or is she doing her level best to gain republican support among an electorate pressed to make trans lives a living hell let's start watching the hawks. in the city the streets. are so let's see this is your state. strays see this sleaze systemic deception please show.
6:03 pm
some real. what everyone's watching the hawks i mean across the real it's on vacation joining me now is taylor chamber walker transgender health for us helping us people into living in the taylor hey give me a shot how are you pretty good i know that this is a topic you've been fired up about all over social media say alert and the anti trillions bills just won't stop coming we now have over 33 states 100 bills have been introduced they're not only aggressive and damaging but several of them criminalize gender affirmation up to a felony in arkansas where health care access for trans minors is set to be banned h.b. $1570.00 is the 1st us bill to criminalize puberty blockers in hormone therapy do you think others will follow and how with the passage of a bill like this that trans you. i think it would be detrimental to trans you
6:04 pm
across the entire country and it would set precedence. you know to deprive someone of gender affirming care to compare it so people could understand it would be like telling somebody that has cancer that they can't receive treatment. you wouldn't imagine doing that but somehow trans use their regulated to some type of you know silo where they don't get the same rights as other people and you know most trans youth that are on puberty blockers are living style you know their classmates sometimes not even their teachers are away or their identity or any differences and this sets up a case where kids kids could you know be put to this litmus test and outed and you know somehow in my mind that would violate
6:05 pm
across the board and taylor just to break this down a little bit more for our audience the same groups that fought tooth and nail to stop marriage equality they're back and they're fighting trans rights there's big money behind it and unified republican party rallying against change you tranced cans in many states or even testifying on behalf of themselves just to be able to have that gender affirming care just to be able to live their lives fully why do you think kids are now the primary target for entitle g.b.t. activism because i think it's an easy target and often times parents aren't affirming and supportive of their children going through some type of gender expanse and. in my opinion you know conservative christian republicans would go against anything that their base deems not worthy or not acceptable and so once again this is disguised as bathroom bills
6:06 pm
and competing and wards but you know to me there's much more involved in this and i think they're just panhandling or catering to the base. and it makes no sense to have a court system involved with gender affirming care would you go to court to get birth control and have a judge decide whether you should be on birth control at 10111213 when you hit puberty absolutely not how is the judge qualified in any way shape or form to pass judgment and give a ruling on whether or not a trans youth should get k. or it makes no sense and caitlin jenner she is running for governor in california her 1st campaign ad was just released but prior to that she made eyebrow raising statements about train participating in sports she doesn't think it's fair for
6:07 pm
biological boys to compete in girls' new sports this is a huge shift from her statements in 2015 where she acknowledged trans rights and supported trans women and girls in sports why the flip flop and what does this mean for the trans community because california is so determined to oust governor knew some that they will do whatever they have to do to put kaitlin gender in the forefront they want that mag a vote in the state of california and unfortunately caitlin jenner didn't transition to life believe she was 66 years old so that 66 years of white male privilege you can't tell me that. the mere act of having surgery to be anatomically female is going to change a life time. you know this why power that is prevalent in this country they will do what they need to do to get the vote and
6:08 pm
unfortunately katelyn jenner is more than willing to put herself out there and turn against her own community to do this and this isn't the 1st time she is not our spokes person we do not know her her journey is different and unique beyond comprehension to anybody else going through gender dysphoria. and they they they have done more damage to the trans community then. one could imagine and then to make a statement. even using the word it that a trans girl is a biological male. it's just disgusting i think i've said this in the past no one looks between their legs to know who they are it's a man lost his penis he would automatically think he was the bill same in the reverse when you're on testosterone blockers or puberty blockers and you know you
6:09 pm
get into that final days of puberty and you start taking hormone replacement therapy any possible advantage that you might have is gone and let's be real have you ever heard of training and anybody dominating any sport ever it was ok as long as we didn't win. but now they're just manipulating this platform to gain votes because the reality is maggot doesn't like caitlin jenner and. but they're using her as a pawn and she's more than willing to do it she she does nothing to better or further the cause of the equality. and the reason it's being held up is they want the trans burbage removed and taylor i'm going to cut you off there and i am going to ensure such a dear such a passionate advocate for these issues i will definitely have to have you back on
6:10 pm
thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us today. oh my pleasure. we hear it all over social media there are hiring signs and fast food bars and other small businesses what is america reopens or workers coming back. u.s. employers report having difficulty finding workers even though the unemployment rate is double what it was before the pandemic nearly $4600000.00 workers were forced out of their jobs due to close at 19 according to a bank of america report however it doesn't look like folks are rushing back to the workforce conservatives blame president biden's enhanced unemployment benefits the $300.00 weekly unemployment bonuses were created to offset the economic pain for americans out of work and are set to expire in september for low wage workers in particular the added bonus in many cases is more than they made on the job stealing conservative belief that folks aren't working because they get paid more to stay at home but economists disagree the pandemic itself forced americans to redefine work
6:11 pm
flexibility work from home options lack of childcare and ongoing fears of coping one teen who vaccinated won't get vaccinated those are all factors joining us now to break it all down is r.t. correspondent rachel blevins welcome rachel thank you for having me well rachel president biden says america's back we're passing research and we're seeing them being lifted across the country people are going to restaurants bars traveling having vacations or spending come hotels but local businesses particularly restaurants and bars they can't seem to get their staff back or even get new people to apply but how many americans are out of the workforce currently and why was it right now the unemployment rate stands at 6 percent and it looks like there could be as many as $2500000.00 americans going back to work this fall so we are seeing progress being made but at the same time we're also seeing the service industry saying that they can't find workers and there are a number of factors contributing to that i mean you look at the last year and you
6:12 pm
look at how our workforce has changed because you have restaurants you have small businesses that have been forced to shut down well while they're close the people who are hiring are the major corporations like amazon like wal-mart that are seeing record breaking profits and back amazon. and hired nearly half a 1000000 new employees in 2020 alone so 1st some of those who would typically work in the service industry who would rely on not industry specifically now if they have a new more secure job working for a bigger corporation they're not as likely to jump ship to want to go back to an industry where they don't have secure hours and they don't know exactly what that future is going to look like at the same time when it comes to those americans who are staying out of work by choice yes some of them are relying on those unemployment benefits knowing that they're going to get them for just a few more months and then there are those who are incredibly concerned about the safety aspects and how that will impact their family home and their loved ones that they're seeing all great points and we know that there are some lawmakers who are
6:13 pm
shifting things around to meet the crisis that they see when lawmakers are considering how much to give in unemployment benefits we often hear the concern that they might give too much and it will be an incentive for americans to simply not return to work is there some truth to this right now well it's interesting because when you hear the talking point it's often played out as if it's a long term strategy like americans are just going to plan to live on unemployment forever in this case in particular we have to look at all of the conditions that are lining up which is for some of those americans who are looking at that extra $300.00 a week that could be more than they would make by going back to work and at the same time they're also looking at daycares and schools being closed and so a lot of them have families that they have to tend to and so if they're looking at that short term strategy of being able to stay home to care for their family for at least the next few months before they go into the workforce then that is absolutely what they're going to choose so when it comes to a talking point like that in this case there may be some truth to that but it may be better for those americans in the long run and terms of their particular
6:14 pm
situation and rachel we only have a few short very short time left but in one year globally women were really affected they lost over $800000000000.00 in income due to cope with 19 we know when america could be 19 took a real toll on the mill workers what are those numbers like now. and can women look to getting back to work any time soon yeah women have certainly been hit the hardest and even as as far as last month there were still 1500000 women out of the workforce so a lot of it is going to take those jobs opening back up kids getting back in school and there really is that hope that women will be able to keep fighting back and getting back into those jobs because they really have been hurt more than anyone else over the last year thanks so much for joining me rachel and providing such an outstanding reporting think we really want to know what's going on across america with the economy and whether or not americans are going to be ringback back in that action somewhat work again so thanks so much for sending it absolutely thank you for having me. and as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the
6:15 pm
hawks on demand for the brand new portable t.v.'s available on all platforms coming up we discussed why mactire bryant's death didn't get much black lives matter attention stay tuned to watching the hawks. how to read out of reading turn on the t.v. on the back the world was happening around me i see shows on the screen space and last every day because of the news near its steady state. to be cool little to no risk is with our master plan our brick by brick pool is that they could play the young man in the street but i found that there were no question.
6:16 pm
wall street's busy trading your money bar days a week and there are $4.00 quarters of the year and 3 major stock market. and when you have to watch right. or fail it all becomes clear there's just one business show you can't afford to amend. the one and only. find it now on portable t.v. . and an ocean of stories even the news. can overwhelm you. you can even use your way i know you want it all let me bring you the bad. it's easy just. play. for so much
6:17 pm
going on in the world don't you think when's the last time you had a real bird's eye view of. shocking news feed more than just hours of bickering give me 30 minutes i'll take you across the world. i'm a journalist it's all i know being a truth teller people say i make them uncomfortable good news is like a jackhammer the drill down to find the truth newt gingrich because it's time to do news again and question war. police reform bills are popping up at state legislatures across the country at the federal level competing democrat and republican bills are creating a hurricane of debate dirt shogun of legal team followed a motion for
6:18 pm
a new trial just 2 weeks after he was convicted of the murder for killing george forward. and reverend al sharpton while he's making his rounds delivering eulogies at the funerals of several other on our blacks killed at the hands of the police but one name among those is it making headlines and mainstream media has basically buried the story entirely so a police reform advocates bryant but bryant the 16 year old girl in columbus ohio who was shot while holding a knife in the middle of an altercation. deaf standing we didn't matter as soon as the police body can video was released no one cared about her back story no one cared about her trauma. was a young girl in foster care who reported to her mom and the authorities of abuses going on in the home on april 20th just 20 minutes after the judge announced their children's guilty verdict a young girl at her wits and was murdered by a cop and within 24 hours america lost interest and concern. there are many reasons
6:19 pm
why bryant didn't become a hash tag or a rallying cry for advocates article after article cited her size calling her that huge a knife wielding attacker in a maniac. mikheil wasn't a perfect victim so for onlookers she deserved to die despite the fact that we have several recorded examples of police interactions with whites carrying weapons that came out alive joining us now civil rights attorney and radio host robert it's a low welcome robert. but it's very. well robert mccullough brian was shot within moments of the officer arriving on the scene and usually we saw a support ring out for her but after the video was released people fell silent we saw lebron james initially tweet his anger about what happened and he deleted it after the police body cam video was released his reaction echoed much of america's why did advocates quickly clear out on this case. well you know this neatly into
6:20 pm
the into the rubric of what people look for normally shootings you know if you look at the very similar where there was a lot of national outrage when the longer. released on the 2nd before we did have a weapon that point in time you saw much of the interest around it but we can look for an issue which is the way that we do policing this country in america an average of 3 people per day are killed by police officers that's more than all industrialized nation in the entire world over here you can estimate are going to be killed by the police the united states of america and if you look at the what police officers took to the streets in the year 200. they would send them out there today give them a gun a bad. stick and. tell them to go keep the peace there's no way to them to be peaceful we don't give them any weapons you know if you're going to train me in
6:21 pm
and. get them trained don't have a choice people don't do that with. how we look at our country and understand as we train them as a paramilitary or which is to control the community there we're going to continue to see body after body stack and those are the you don't need you don't need to be perfect in order for people to care we need to have police reform across the border or from this nation from the past is history. and rob that fit into this next question we think conservatives across social media share cherbury of videos mocking anyone who tried to offer deescalation tactics and techniques that could have kept alive but these no they are no laughing matter we've seen them use for white the escalation coward now the 17 year old who shot 3 people at a protest was arrested without harm so was robert and long the suspect in the asian massage parlors shooting in georgia just
6:22 pm
a few weeks ago as were greg and 10 michaels who murdered a model robbery and georgia all of these people had weapons all of them literally committed murder police arrested them without killing them why could they not do it in the case. all the same with the killer in charleston who then took them on to burger king after he murdered 8 people in the church dealing route the reason is because there's no overt criminalization of african-americans in this country there's been studies of use focus groups into the white people will guns and ammo in camouflage you'll automatically assume that they are hunters or 2nd amendment advocates will be sure that think. things as they see them as dangerous both to breath we have overthrown a lot of media we have overcome the payment was due to african-americans being this dangerous for the way to lose all the money in the community so that all of us are constant and so called age overestimation which is for life groups although when they see young african-americans they need them to be between 8 and 10 years older
6:23 pm
than they actually are so intimate arrivals pay a toll and done in front. of the a 12 year old child playing with toy. 20 year old man brandishing a weapon to kill time and 2nd and the same way that you said in conservative media they went out of their way to disrespect and degrade this young girl after her death and that fear of being a child and i ask them if you were to take away the black. hair blue eyes and a little cheerleading outfit or a girl scout outfit winter would be the same but in our country we believe the dead african americans have to prove their right to be alive more so than the copy to prove why they killed that individual and that was not a nice place and why the stories. closer than rupert people won because at the end of the day do. americans in particular see black women with the same level of humanity as a standard way and have a life girl coming home from college or cheerleading outfit that would make it
6:24 pm
a lot more new than what happened during the. and robert a i think you hit the nail on the head in so many ways we talked time and time again about training training training training we need to do. more to invest in training for these police officers but what we see is that the training things to work when they are when they are in white communities and the training gets thrown out the window when they're in black communities because of our long historical because of the long historical white supremacy in this country because of the belief around black people and black people of dangerousness do you believe we can get out or we can train officers out of over or criminalizing african-americans and using these excessive anon deescalation tactics one thing the big part of is doing something on the community policing we bring people in from that same neighborhood people who grew up with these individuals who know the community go to church and shop in those areas they can see the humanity in these people versus somebody who lives you know 2030 miles away 2 or 3 counties coming in
6:25 pm
to control what they see as foreign territory once you get to unity losing or all those are walking the beat instead of driving cars or you take some of the lethal force option for them. or a lot to deescalate situation that's how you get to a place of police reform that works for all this is not the same in every. other industrialized nation to not have the shooting look at japan for example or hong kong the number of police shootings they have there per year this is an outlier that it can be about humanity and they do the princes they drove there and it's something that him the proper training proper. and i'm sure we're getting people on these forces for us thank you so much it's great having you as always robert and i'm looking forward to you joining us again. and that is our show for you today folks and remember everyone in this world we're
