9:30 pm
thank. you. thank. you greetings and salutations blowback from president obama the rise of white nationalism vocal white supremacy i do 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 states have introduced more than 100 bills and at the trans community the majority of these bills our lives are focused on children and brace yourselves for the discrimination taxpayer dollars
9:31 pm
are funding like those preventing trans kids from using the restroom or locker room that matches their self identification 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 trans child from their parent's home because of republican lawmakers minds the train child is a result of unfit parents and sometimes the self-appointed trans activist caitlin jenner is making matters worse general publicly came out as trains in a highly publicized sit down interview with diane sawyer in 2015. shortly there after at this an annual sports award show generous see the author ashe courage award in her acceptance speech waste her support for trans athletes this week
9:32 pm
jenner 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 oppose biological boys who are trains from competing and girls sports and school it just isn't fair we have to protect girls sports in our schools. june 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 the electorate pressed to make trans lives a living hail let's start watching the hawks. in a city. your sleep. paralysis your state. mass graves displays systemic deceptions
9:33 pm
please show. some video tell us. what that everyone's watching the hawks i mean mr krause tyrrell is on vacation joining me now is taylor chamber was transgender health ordinator for us helping us people into living in high dollar. 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 sailor and the anti training's bills just won't stop coming we now have over $33.00 states $100.00 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. $370.00 is the 1st u.s. bill to criminalize puberty blockers and hormone therapy do you think others will follow and how with the passage of a bill like this affect trans you i think it would be detrimental to trans you
9:34 pm
across the entire country and it would set precedents. 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 youth they're 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 peabody blockers are living style you know their classmate 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
9:35 pm
test and outed and you know somehow in my mind that would violate shift 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 trans you trans 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 as 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
9:36 pm
worthy or not acceptable and so once again this is disguised as bathroom bills and competing and boards but you know to me there's much more involved in this and i think they're just panhandling are 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 trans youth should get care 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
9:37 pm
changing participating in sports she doesn't think it's fair for biological boys to compete in girls 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 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 live 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 of you know this is why power that is
9:38 pm
prevalent in this country they will do what they need to do to get the vote and 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 just around 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 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 if a man lost his penis he would automatically think he was bill same in the reverse
9:39 pm
when you're on testosterone blockers or puberty blockers and you know you 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 maggie 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 act and the reason it's being held up is they want the trans burbage removed and taylor i'm going to have you know they are and i am sure such a dear such
9:40 pm
a passionate advocate for these issues i will definitely have to have you back on 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 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 $300.00 weekly unemployment bonuses were created off at 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 fueling conservative belief that folks aren't working because they get paid more to stay at
9:41 pm
home but economists disagree the pandemic itself forced americans to redefine work 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 party correspondent rachel blevins welcome rachel thank you for having me well rachel president biden says america is back we're passing researchers as we're seeing them being lifted across the country people are going to restaurants bars traveling having vacations or spending time 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 what wasn't 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
9:42 pm
there are a number of factors contributing to that i mean you look at the last year and you 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 profit and fact amazon hired nearly half a 1000000 new employees in 2020 alone so for some of those who would typically work in the service industry who would rely on not industry specifically now as 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 aspect and how that will impact their family home in their loved ones that they're seeing all great points and we know that there are some lawmakers who are
9:43 pm
shifting things around couldn't 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 get too much and it'll be an incentive for americans to simply not return to work is there some truth to this right now was interesting because when you hear that 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 dollars 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
9:44 pm
be better for those americans in the long run and terms of their particular situation and rachel we only have a few short very short. but in one year globally women were really affected they lost over $800000000000.00 in income due to cope at 19 we know when america could be 19 took a real toll on the male workers one of those numbers like now and can women look to getting back to work any time soon women have certainly been hit the hardest and even 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 about 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 back in that action swing with work again so thanks so much for sending it absolute thank you for
9:45 pm
having me. and as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand through the brand new portable t.v.'s available on all platforms coming up we discuss why makhaya bryant definitely didn't get much black lives matter attention stay tuned to watching the hawks. thank you. thank. you. thank. you. i'm holland cook i invite you to climb with me of the mainstream media fire and from that higher fan to which to glimpse the big picture question more. could you source for a story about the fact that maxwell will likely take others down i guarantee you
9:46 pm
there's a lot more going on. in our nation's capital this. week rick sanchez and protesters who are not happy this is what we're going to drill down on right here on news rick sanchez where we really do believe it's time to do. this type of american is doing very well but then there's these guys over here who aren't doing so well but if you drill down to look at the real numbers especially the rent numbers right it's pretty bad there's people who are not paying their rent and say they're not going to be able to pay their rent for the foreseeable future.
9:47 pm
the world. according to jess. our culture is awash in lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that birth. until they are. the most. society and politics. and needless to be a politician more than just celebrity are 2 ruling parties are in reality one party or party. those who attempt to punk. rock university for me to sign the push through the t.v. and exploitation field that are forced so far to the margins of society including
9:48 pm
by a public broadcasting system that has sold its soul the corporate money that we might as well devise squeaky against an outlet but we must. police reform bills are popping up at state legislatures across the country at the federal level competing democrat republican bills are creating a hurricane of debate derek showbiz legal team follow the motion for a new trial just 2 weeks after he was convicted of the murder for killing george
9:49 pm
floyd and reverend al sharpton well 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 are bright. bryant the 16 year old girl in columbus ohio who was shot while holding a knife in the middle of an altercation. standing we didn't matter is so mean 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
9:50 pm
why my 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 all lookers 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 solo welcome robert. while robert mccullough brian was shot within moments of the officer arriving on the scene an initially we saw 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 case in the fit neatly into the
9:51 pm
into the rubric of what people look for in our police shootings you know if you look at the m 2 you know very similar where there was a lot of national outrage but then when the longer. the show on the 2nd before he did have a weapon that point in time you saw much of the inference around that but we can look past the more important 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 any industrialized nation in the entire world over some people per year we can estimate are going to be killed by the least united states of america and if you look at the what police officers took into the streets in the year 1900 . there will today give them a gun a bad pepper spray stick and handcuff him tell them to go keep the peace there's no way to them to be peaceful we don't give them any weapons for peacekeeping you don't give them training and. situations you give them training have
9:52 pm
a change people they're on foot and so do they will have lots. of how we look at our country and understand there's always we train them as a paramilitary force which is you control the community that we're going to continue to see body after body stack up and it is not that you don't need you don't need to be the perfect victim in order for people to care we need to help police report across the border or from this nation finally move past history. and rob that fits directly into this next question we sing conservatives across social media share share various videos mocking anyone who tried to offer deescalation tactics and techniques that could have kept him alive but these we both know they are no laughing matter we've seen them use for whites deescalation cow rittenhouse a 17 year old who shot 3 people at a protest was arrested without harm so was robert aaron long the suspect in the asian massage parlors shooting in georgia just a few weeks ago as were greg and 10 mcmichaels who murdered them are in georgia all
9:53 pm
of these people had weapons all of them literally committed murder police arrested them without killing them why could they not do it in a case. the same with the killer in charleston who then took them on to burger king after he murdered 8 people in the church killing route the reason is because there's no overt criminalization of african-americans in this country there's been studies. focus group images of white people done. in camouflage you'll automatically assume they are hunters or 2nd amendment advocates with the show because i think blackface is if you them both impressed over what a lot of media would 'd have overcome payment was due to african-americans being this dangerous for colors the way to lose all the money in the community so that all of us are concept and so called age overestimation which is for white groups also when they see young african-americans they need them to be between 8 and 10 years older than they actually are so into arrivals play will be told and done in
9:54 pm
front of the in 12 year old child playing with toy. 20 year old man brandishing a weapon to kill 2 seconds and the same with this young woman's case that you said in much of her concert they went out of their way to disrespect and degrade this young girl after being a child and i ask them if you were to take away the black long hair blue eyes and a little cheerleading outfit or a girl scout that would your response 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 cop to prove why they killed that individual and that's why there's not a neat place in one of the stories. closer than rupert what people want because at the end of the day do. americans and particularly the black women with the same what we humanity as a standard way and have a white girl coming home from college energy leaving out that that would have been a lot more new than what happened during the. and robert i think you hit the nail
9:55 pm
on the head in so many ways we talked time and time again about training training training training we need. 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 in the training is 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 over criminalizing african-americans and using these excessive anon deescalation tactics one thing that i think partisan come down the community policing we bring in people from that same neighborhood people who grew up with these individuals you know the community go to church and shop in those areas they can see the humanity in these people 1st with somebody who lives you know 2030 miles away 2 or 3 counties coming in to control what they see as foreign territory
9:56 pm
once you get to community policing or officers or walking the beat instead of driving in cars or you take on some of the lethal force option for them. or a lot of the situation that's how you get to a place of police reform that works for all this is not the same in every come many people understand other industrialized nations do not have the issues we shooting look at this is on japan for example or hong kong or the number of shootings they have there per year this is an outlier which means that it can be about humanity it's and they are the princes they throw out there and it's something that can be proper training proper investments in community and i'm sure we're getting people on these horses for us thank you so much it's great having you as always robert and i'm looking forward to you joining us again. as you. and that is our show for you today folks and remember everyone in this world we're
9:57 pm
not told we're loved enough so i tell you i love you i'm amused across people watching those have a great day. and i just want. to . why in the world does he think this is a positive idea for the united states. well i think he'll play exactly the role that a good journalist ought to tell them why this had happened at this exact moment there's already so much instability within the middle east that this is probably just one of the many voices on television right now that have ties to those they benefit from going forward thanks.
9:58 pm
kyra read out really turn on the t.v. on the about the world and what's happening around me i see shows on the screen speak in last every day because the fake news near is it steady state things seem to maybe cooling in small a little bit enough business with tom f. the plumber brick by brick school is the make you smile how flinty off that in this war but i found a network that open question sorry he's a great sadness the civil strife climate change summit will be called simply lists all the mainstream wants to do was keep us cool like you watch the right you can't keep a stylist critical point seize hold perspective question inside directly we don't take sides we walk the dog artsy america means real talk.

10:00 pm
whether they're right or wrong we have to keep fighting question. and tony on this is america's lawyer the mad gate saga became even more troublesome for the florida representative last week after was revealed that his friend joe greenberg the indicted florida politician wrote a confession letter admitting that gates had relationships with at least one underage girls that we know of tonight we'll tell you why this might be the smoking gun evidence against a florida congressman also tonight why becomes the 1st state to officially declare a climate emergency and later in the show the e.p.a. has known about the dangers of the sea east since the obama administration so why are thousands of businesses still exposing their workers to cancer causing chemicals.
