1:30 am
populism all culminated in don't trump's 2016 presidential victory that moment faded 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 $100.00 bills aimed at the trans community the majority of these bills our leaders are focused on children and brace yourselves for the discrimination taxpayer dollars 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 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 mind
1:31 am
a change 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 trans in a highly publicized sit down interview with diane sawyer in 2015 shortly thereafter at this phase in annual sports award show generous see the author ash courage award in her acceptance speech waste her support for trans athletes this week general now she's running for governor of california with the hopes of unseating embezzled incumbent gavin newsome in an interview with t m z jim and made a head turning comment i opposed biological boys who are transferred computing and girls 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
1:32 am
gain republican support among an electorate pressed to make trans lives a living hail let's start watching the hawks. on a city street you want. to. see the prices your state police traced this crazy sick day sleaze systemic deception leaks show. some real. welcome everyone to watching the hawks i'm obese across the trail is on vacation joining me now is taylor chamber walk a transgender health corner for us helping us people into living high 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 the anti trillions bills just won't stop coming we now have over 33 states 100 bills have
1:33 am
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 and 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 youth 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 use their regulated to some type of you know silo where they don't get the same rights as other
1:34 am
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 aware of 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 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 in there fighting trans rights there's big money behind it and unified republican party rallying against change you trance kids 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.
1:35 am
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 worthy or not acceptable and so once again this is disguised as bathroom bills 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 k. or 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
1:36 am
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 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 some that they will do whatever they have to do to put caitlin jenner in the forefront they want that mag a vote in the state of california and unfortunately caitlin jenner didn't
1:37 am
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 of you know this why power that is 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 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
1:38 am
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 wouldn't automatically think he was bill same in the reverse 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.
1:39 am
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 you're such 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 they 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 cope with 19 according to a bank of america report however it doesn't look like folks are rushing back to the
1:40 am
workforce conservatives blame president biden's enhanced unemployment benefits $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 'd cases is more than they made on the job fuelling 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 flexibility work from home options lack of childcare and ongoing fears of coping one teens who vaccinated won't get vaccinated those are all factors . joining us now to break it all down to party correspondent rachel blevins welcome rachel thank you for having me well rachel president biden says america's back were to pass a research as we're seeing them being lifted across the country people are going to restaurants bars traveling having vacations or spending comical skills but local
1:41 am
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 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 profits 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
1:42 am
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 the future's going to look like at this 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 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 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
1:43 am
$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 situation and rachel we only have a few short very short time left but in one year globally women were really effective they lost over $800000000000.00 in income due to cope 19 we know when america could be 19 took a real toll on the male workers what are those numbers like now and what 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 $1500000.00 women out of the workforce so a lot of it is going to take those jobs opening back up kids getting back in school
1:44 am
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 i 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 their action swing with work again so thanks so much for sending it absolute thank you for having me. and as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand for the brand new portable t.v.'s available on all platforms coming up we discuss bryant's death didn't ringback get much black lives matter attention . to watching the hearts i.
1:45 am
thank. you. it is like. milton's i would say i'm not american but americans helped out really. world war 2 cures the depression farce the united states is concerned prosperity of course the store. leg. legs for the for all of us the whole world what it what and. historical rewrite ever since world war 2 to foment the cold war against russia against communism and. socialists nish bush to you it is so you call me out you all close to swath of the earth so used to call the roll. call i think world war 2
1:46 am
has been distorted credibly by the anglo-american media and that's because they wanted to minish the role of russia. and stalin who actually defeated hitler. the world is driven by a dream shaped by those with. their dares thinks. we dare to ask. me such a road to cause a police the need for good in each other than the men for us who want to.
1:47 am
but on the but on. the missile that this isn't just a. little able. to do i think it was totally stuck or you muscles in the course for you. but i. don't feel the. compassion that. you seem. to believe she's wearing. to church so. she moves the opposing opinion with. the sure stuff in the summer washington police force. the.
1:48 am
voice 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 sjogren's legal team the motion for new trial just 2 weeks after he was convicted of the murder for killing george. and reverend al
1:49 am
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 if police reform advocates bryant makhaya 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 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
1:50 am
why my bryant didn't become a hash tag or a rallying cry for advocates article after article cited her size calling her perfect huge a knife wielding attacker in a maniac. well kyle wasn't a perfect victim so for all of hers she deserved to die despite the fact that we have several recorded examples of police interactions with wright carrying weapons that came out alive joining us now to civil rights attorney and radio host robert hello welcome robert. well robert makhaya bryant was shot within moments of the officer arriving on the same initial way we saw support ring out for her but after the video was released people fell silent we saw le bron james initially tweet his anger about what happened and he deleted it after the police but it can video was released his reaction echoed much of america is why did advocates quickly clear out on this case. well you know this case in the fit neatly into the into the rubric of what people look for normally shootings you know
1:51 am
if you look at the m 2 you know it's all very similar where there was a lot of national outrage with a longer view. on the 2nd before he did have a weapon and that one time you saw much of the interest 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 just about 3 people per day are killed by police officers that's more than all industrialized nation in the entire world over some people per year we can estimate are going to be killed by the police. and if you look at the what police officers took to the streets in the year 200 and told them they would send them out there will today give them a gun a bad pepper spray stick and handcuffs and tell them to go keep the peace there's no way to them to be peaceful or you don't give them any weapons or peacekeeping you don't give them training and. you get them trained on how to change people
1:52 am
there on foot and so do that will have lots. of how we look at our country and understand there is always we train them as a paramilitary force which is to control the community that we're going to continue to see by. and you don't need you don't need to be the perfect people to care we need to help 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 him alive but believe me both know 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 a few weeks ago as were greg and 10 mcmichaels who murdered a model robbery in georgia all of these people had weapons all of them literally
1:53 am
committed murder police arrested them without killing them why could they not do it because. all the same with the killer in charleston who they took to burger king after he murdered 8 people in the church building roofs the reason is because there was no overt criminalization of african-americans in this country and study views focus groups it was just a white people done. well in camouflage you'll automatically assume that they are hunters or secular member that do you think. they see them as dangerous both. over what a lot of overkill i was in america is being this dangerous or the way the. community so that all of us are. so called age overestimation which is. a young african-american to be between 8 and 10 years older than they really are so
1:54 am
much we are rivals will be tolling thunder from. a 12 year old child playing with toys like 20 year old man brandishing a weapon to kill him and the same. 7 months of. to. this young girl after being a child and i ask people often if you were to take. a little cheerleading or girl scout out that would be the same but in our country we believe that. their right to be alive. through why they killed that individual and that's what they. want the stories. closer to them. because at the end of the day do. americans particularly black women with the same little humanity. coming home from college. or knew what happened during the.
1:55 am
and robert a i think you hit the nail on the head in so many ways there we talk 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 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 or criminalizing african-americans and using these excessive anon deescalation tactics. one thing that a big part of is going to come down the community policing we need to start bringing 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 to work for the counties coming in to control what they see as foreign territory
1:56 am
once you get to community policing where all those are walking the beavis and probably in cars or you take the lethal force option for them and replace them with lethal force a lot of them to deescalate 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 jeff they know what many people have to understand other industrialized nations do not have these issues we shooting look at the statistics on japan for example or hong kong of the number of police shootings they have there per year this is an outlier which means that it can be not humanity it's and they do the prince's nature of america and it's something that can be fixed with 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. if you even go. and that is our show for you today folks and remember everyone in this world we're
1:57 am
not told we're love to know so i tell you i love you i'm a nice across people watching those thoughts have a great day and i just want. to . right now there are 2000000 people who are overweight or obese it's profitable to sell those he's crazy and sugary and solti and the big it's not at the individual level it's not individual willpower and if we go on believing that would never change this obesity epidemic that industry has been influencing very deeply the medical and scientific establishment. so what's driving the obesity epidemic it's corporate profit.
1:58 am
