2:30 pm
not constitute a strategic interest where the united states have an existential interest. also bobs the u. s. down and the u. s. would prefer binding, would prefer, as trump preferred to spend that energy and those military forces confront the china, which the empire considers to be in greater threat right now then i'll kind of the peaceful rise of china and china is essential, especially in asia, has been sort of unintended to as the u. s. has been preoccupied with wars either in the middle east or in, in africa and then just from the taliban. they know control large parts of i've got some, some reports even seeing as much as half of the country. is it no inevitable about the kick over completely wants the u. s. leaves? not necessarily. you know that the television actually does control about as much or maybe more territory than it did when it was the government of afghanistan prior to the october 7th, 2001 us invasion of the country. but you know, f, dennison's,
2:31 pm
a complicated country. there's many ethnic cities foreign powers, including regional powers, also have a proxy influence with different armed organizations within the country. the taliban and the resistance groups grew as a consequence of the fact that the african people don't want to live under for an occupation. they don't want to be relentlessly bond. they don't want to be targeted, withdrawn strikes like no one, no country actually wants to live like this. and to the extent that the taliban can can adopt the manual and being the patriotic opponents of the outside. warren invaders, i think it actually strengthen the hands of the taliban. that perhaps one of the great tragedies, brian, thanks as always for your time. your thoughts, much appreciated. brian becker, national coordinator of the anti war answer coalition. or i just a reminder for up to the minute developments to try and give our twitter page and look from time to time. you will be bored. i promise you about life for moscow. this is our
2:32 pm
t the the going to be moving about. and we just always dress covered up, no stimulation, directly connected to domestic and assistance, which is 800000 in everybody. and it contains millions of little money. if you exposed to decor, muscles, millions, they are going to work with
2:33 pm
the greetings and sell you patients. since donald trump's, the january 6th carnival of idiocy, death and half baked insurrection, the terms domestic terrorism and its kid, brother, domestic extremism, have been bouncing around the u. s. news rooms capitol hill, echo chamber on a pretty consistent basis. it almost feels like you can't go a single day without seeing every talking head from jake tapper to nicole wallace,
2:34 pm
wrinkling their foreheads and clutching their very high priced pearls. in fevered worry over the potential terroristic tendencies of all the unwashed masses, living outside the halls of power in new york city, beverly hills, and capitol hill. but thankfully, the by the administration is coming to their rescue. this week, the administration unveiled its 32 page national strategy to combat domestic extremism that the new york times reports quote, outlines for priorities, improving information sharing among law enforcement agencies, preventing recruitment by extremist groups investigating such groups and confronting the long standing drivers of domestic terrorism. racism and of course, bigotry, the strategy also calls for aggression aggressive steps such as hiring more intelligence analysts and screening government employees for ties to hate groups.
2:35 pm
which i'm sorry, really, it's 2021. and we only now we only now have decided to start asking government employees if you know, hey via the belong to the k k. k were on how took us that long. and while biden's new strategy may sound well and good on the outside, there appears to be some controversy on the inside. cuz like always the devil, my friends is in the details. the free thought project reports this week that in a tele conference with reporters on monday, a senior administration official declared they heard dusting off of the old. if you see something, say something technique of controlling extremism as math accuracy of the free thought project observes the state, asking family members to snitch on each other is the exact same scheme out of every totality marion regime throughout history. and that my friends is the essence of the very, very, very thin line between security and despotism,
2:36 pm
safety and totalitarianism. and is why we must always be watching the hawks. if you want to know what's going on a city and you want to rush, let me show you what we always the roy, throw strike, math grade, ha, leave them a deception. so math, put these weapons. so hope we know you're welcome, everyone watching the hawks i am to robot and i'm a nice across. so this is interesting because this week we saw the justice department, we saw the by the ministration step forward. and you know what? the general strategy? 32 pages saying ok, here's how we're going to combat domestic extremism and obviously domestic terrorism. i understand why after what we saw happened on january 6th, but i just, there's something inside me as a child who lived through 911 in the war on terror and the aftermath of the patriot
2:37 pm
act, that it just gets me a little nervous when they start on those terrorism words around because the government's not exactly had a good record on this front. it hasn't in domestic terrorism has always been something that the federal government hasn't taken seriously as it should. domestic terrorism typically is not given the same weight or the same. the same attention as international terrorism, and part of it is because america likes to act as though homecare with them isn't a thing particularly because the faces of it are often white mailed. but in addition to that, when we've seen it used, we seen the investigations into groups that may say things online that are more antagonistic towards the government or certain things that our government does, the group that tend to get the greatest eyes or groups of civil rights groups of advocacy trying to fight against a lot of the a lot of the negative things we've happened. we've seen happen to l g b team members and black people to latino members of society. they're never grouped like the one we saw, the one, the cap. that's very true, that virtue, when you look at us history,
2:38 pm
it's always over there going after the black panthers. they're going after this and very rarely are they going after like say the k, k, k are groups that are actually really out there causing violence in the streets. the administration essentially funneling about a $100000000.00 to the justice department to hire prosecutors. investigative is more of investigators, more analysts, and you know, again, it's a thing where it's after living through all of the failures of the war on terror and the disgusting things that we did with it. and we justified with it from putting people into black sites around the world and things like that. it, it frightens me that washington when they make decisions out of fear rather than common sense. that you could see something similar being turned against people who being turned into groups like the black panthers and things like that rather than the groups that actually we should be taking a look at a starkly speaking. we've just seen that recycled over and over and over for again the war on terror. it started out early beyond that, it was also just a war on people have been long faith that what it was designed,
2:39 pm
it was to attack movement. and i think that we saw that, you know, pushed to the highest extent where they were demonized in, throughout society. and i think that, you know, the world, tara helped project that and i fear that that could be the outcome of business. well yeah, because look at the end of the day, we do have our freedom to criticize the government. we do have our free speech and we can't sacrifice those freedoms in the, in the, for the sake of security, even in events like january, 6 or $911.00 or things like that. you have to maintain those basic freedoms. because in my mind, if you lose those basic freedoms, and if you become that security state, or that, or that, you know, dest spot state that says, okay, no one in society can speak out against the government. because you know where that frightened and no one can do that. well then what good is your society at the end of the day here, right? but we do have to start cracking down very heavily on white supremacist fair. but yes we, that's really oh, yeah, no, i couldn't agree more enough from the following record voter turnout in the 2020
2:40 pm
presidential election republican fast track bills across several states to effectively reduce voter participation among communities of color. republican lead state legislature in georgia, iowa, florida, arizona, texas, and pennsylvania past sweeping bills of indian voting rights and particularly targeting the poor minority community with razor thin margins in the house and the senate. the mid term just a year away. and the filibuster firmly in place, it's up to the bite ministration and moreover, congress to act. now, after all, what is the democracy? if voting rights don't exist for its citizens, while republicans and their democratic proxies. senators, jo, mansion and kristen cinema tirelessly work to maintain jim crow and white supremacy at all costs. civil rights advocates are backing down. notably black voters matter fund co founders, latasha brown and cliff albright board, a bus to kick off their voting rights tor across the american south. the black voters matter torque is an effort to fight voter restrictions, pressure,
2:41 pm
legislators, and increased voter registration drive and competitive phase. where congress is repeatedly dropping the ball on voting rights. the department of justice might be providing a needed assist. attorney general merit garland laid out the d o j plan to protect voting rights and. and now the department civil rights division is the thing up staffing to support enforcement effort. he'll tell us more about the future of voting rights. what the state is, attorney and political strategist, chris bruce, could secret. great to hear me. so thank you. well, chris, the john lewis voting rights act and for the people act they faced in increasingly appeal battling congress. these 2 pivotal bill levels, that voting rights and protection. the republicans don't support either of them. democrats, chris and cinema and jo mansion are playing for team jim crow as well with time running out what are advocates doing and how do you see the voting rights more shaping up? well, let's start where you left off as soon as cinema and dinner mention are pretty much
2:42 pm
the best republican that you have in the spring right now because they are stopping these types of issues that are happening all across america. we have advocates. we're on the ground african american, especially black owners matter, or taking this to the st. informing people in their stakes and putting the pressures on other senators as well as president joe biden, say enough is enough. you have others like to have rooms and other notable names, but let's not forget about the african american, especially black women who have been doing this for 2020 election to make sure that you have record turn out in the state. so the pressure is going to continuously billed and billed until something else happens. and i'm told democrats actually did something pass, will find out who's going to be in power. in 2022. i look, let's be real. to me, the republic democracy, that is what is on the line here. so when we see the d o j jumping in,
2:43 pm
i think it's about time that they do attorney general merrick garland is essentially doubling down on the voting rights act and other laws. and what seems to set the stage for a battle in the course, i want to ask you how beneficial is the department of justice putting its weight behind voting rights. sap are all 14 states including swing states like arizona board in georgia. i've already fast tracked voters suppression laws, right? we all know the game plan here. we know exactly what republicans are doing. we're trying to take away americans rights. so department justice is at a timely, crucial structure where we actually need some sort of help. my thing is, what is impression is not something new. it's been around since black people have always been around. is finally tommy, the department of justice. something about it. are they going to be effective? we'll see what the court can actually do with all of those republican conservative appointee, judges that i'm actually happy, but i'm not shying away from the point of saying,
2:44 pm
i'm glad that attorney general guardian is actually being something about it there just so much more that needs to be done, especially in the and chris center mentioned, famously said he supports the john lewis voting rights act, but not the for the people. why don't the making the distinction between the 2, especially since john lewis literally wrote over 80 percent of the for the people act. and what do you think the future of these bill hold sen, manager doing what republicans have been doing, stalling is coming up with any in every excuse possible to make sure that these measures which protect the right for americans to vote, to actually stop it altogether. so the only thing i want to hear out a bit of matches now is that he will actually vote for something and having that well being called to the senate for otherwise it's just talk. and democrats and talk to publicans. you know, they are in power. they should pass bills to protect the american people. that's
2:45 pm
why they were, since all, it's interesting. imagine that name keeps coming up because georgia ground 0 and chris your on the ground there. we know, stacy abrams has been chipping away at turning georgia blue and fighting voters. suppression up efforts there for decades. joe's like name is all tied up and this and he actually has a new voting rights proposal that even stacy abram supports, which is wild. can you explain the proposal and do you think it'll get traction? well, let's go and look at what exactly needs to happen. we need to make sure that americans have access the early next game. go back and don't get with this misinformation out here that they actually expand voting because they have it when it comes down to it . they see a rooms is bringing together a very strange polish and bedfellows and actually trying to get something past. she will get the credit for this. it actually does it or mansion is getting calls every
2:46 pm
day, tens of thousands of all saying you need to get this done. you don't get to done. there will be essence for this proposal is not enough, even if they gave us is for it to seen this at least nothing with the ultimate conclusion. so matching is on record of saying, hey, are made to be able to watch a lot. but let's not take this lightly. it is not enough, especially georgia for now the most definitely, most definitely are to turn in political strategist, chris bruce. thank you for joining us today. always a pleasure having you on educating our viewers. thank you. alright, as we go to break, remember, you can start watching the hawks on your cell phones on your smartphones, on your tv, at home, and everywhere. thanks to the portable tv app which is available on all platforms. so download it and check it out. coming up, we delve into the rise in mass shooting that we're seeing over the summer and the
2:47 pm
dangers of passing laws that affect classroom discussion between teacher and students. you do not want to miss this. stay tuned to watching the hawks the me the we all see it and we all feel good. the significant increase of inflation has many economist concerns and consumers. needless to say, terrified why the sudden increase in prices is this temporary, what can be done to tame this cruelest form of taxation on working people? these are the 4 people who pulled the trigger. i survive something on survival
2:48 pm
was the hardest thing that i had. the face was not having a face at a low expectation that accepted accept the fact that i made that appointment. we had no fears. del change pretty fast for shots. different stories behind the bullets. the me, this past weekend marked one of the bloodiest gun violence across 6 states, brought 272 shootings and counting. while american politicians observed a moment of silence for the 5th anniversary at the post nightclub massacre. they did so with the backdrop of war carnage. according to the gun violence archive, the total number of mass shootings is up 40 percent from this time in 2020,
2:49 pm
and 65 percent. since 2900. america has a gun violence problem. gun violence is a public health issue. yet we still fail to see elected officials clear down on gun access, reduce gun related crimes, or even get common sense gun reform past whether they're going violence is occurring in urban centers, the rule south or fly over country. one thing is certain, the violence isn't stopping when will america reach its breaking point? and on the education front american, you keep bowling and competitiveness. but instead of focusing on math, english, writing, or science, republicans are leading the fight to in teaching on racism or other topics being controversial. in fact, arizona teachers could face a $5000.00 penalty if they dare discuss things like that. also raised massacre june, teen police shootings of unarmed blacks, or anything that makes white people feel uncomfortable. according to state
2:50 pm
republicans, arizona, senate bill 1532 was designed to ensure students aren't taught that they are race, ethnicity, or sex, determines their character. but on its face, the bill looks like many other it's being pushed by conservatives to up in critical right. theory. fact is racism permeating american public schools. isn't anything new? especially considering schools are more segregated today than they were during the height of the civil rights movement. those students themselves are overwhelmingly diverse over 80 percent of americans, public school teachers, or white women. the edwin research center recently surveyed a 3rd of k through 12 instructors and found this one 3rd of us teacher support. the g o p. lead efforts to restrict discussions on racism. 23 percent. se systemic racism doesn't exist in the u. s. 16 percent say they never discuss racism at all. joining me now is professor of african american in u. s. history at george washington university, brittany lewis. and we also have i'm
2:51 pm
so sorry. we have kerry on young managing director of chatham consulting one to get your title in there and get it right here in 1st questions for you. karen, gun violence. we talked about this before. it's an epidemic and has been generations occur for generations across america. it's pretty much as american as apple pie and baseball and with rising mass shootings, do you think we'll see any movement on gun reforms and what do you think needs to be in a gun reform policy package? i really think we need to have mandatory background checks. i think that if you're not making sure that the the most vulnerable among us do not have guns. and by that i mean people who are mentally unstable. i think we're doing it a massive disservice of the entire country. i also think we need to close the gun, show loopholes and online purchasing loopholes and also limit the amount of a capacity that magazines have especially on long rifles. supposed to be
2:52 pm
a r 15 in the a k 47, and also some hand guns like the 9 millimeters. there's no need for 30 round clip or a drum that fits a 100 or 50 shot. and there's no reason for those to be on american streets or in the hands of the mentally unstable. so i really do think we need to start there. and i think it's common sense stuff like that that that will actually help cut down on the amount of time balance that there is brittany, as a, as a mission noted this past weekend, march bloodshed and urban centers, rural areas, suburbs, i mean, you name it, it seems someone was getting shot at one point gun violence was ignored because you, hey, let's be honest. it was largely seen as an urban translation black community problem, but it spaces up, gun violence flashing across the news. rick, are basically white men, more and more. do you think that affects the response and is the gun lobby. 4 to blame you know, i mean, we are truly great thing, a national crisis. you know,
2:53 pm
i do think i do you with the faces, right? who are work shooting, guns, i think the global pen demmet. and that may have a lot to do with it. you know, i'm going to concrete last year in 2021. it's set to be the deadly. you're gone violence in decade then, you know, in regard to the demick, we're talking about any qualities that have been exacerbated enough across re health and the quality. so, you know, i think these are all really important drivers that we need to consider when we're talking about the amount of violence that we're seeing. like you mentioned, it's really petrified because it's not just inner city or, you know, we're talking about increase in violence in suburban and rural areas. so you know, i agree with previous guess. i think it's important that we push forward with new policies that include mental health screenings and treatment background check the licensing any because the national red flag law, which would give the judge you know, with already to order the removal of guns for a person who poses the risk to themselves or others,
2:54 pm
and i think the other part is important, will professionally talk about victims of domestic violence and also the increase of debt there as well. and brittany, i'm going to stick with you on this. next one, arizona republican, they are thinking to find teachers by $1000.00, who dare to teach about racism and black, historical events of white supremacy. why are people so up in arms and threatened by american students learning about the country's long standing, racial divide and white terrors? certainly speaking, show our school systems do not adequately teach about slavery. jim crow, the legacy of racism, direct hi to the american social, economic and political system. however, i would say that over the last decade or so, and it's certainly not everywhere on, but we have to change that information has been flip rated throughout our school system and eventually made its way into the general public discourse. and, you know, of course, access to this type of information has the ability to not only change people's opinions, but their political views and affiliations as well. and i think that's why we're
2:55 pm
seeing a work here regarding the curriculum in our school, in our republicans, are free that teaching about the history of racism. we'll call many more people to potentially align with the democratic party and continue over the dismantling. but we know essentially benefit the wealthy and the white, and then the teacher going arizona, my goodness, i mean this is quite frankly evil. you know, you want to talk about finding teacher fight or controversial material when you're talking about a date where they rank literally 48 in the nation in terms of teacher pay. you know, you're talking about people where the model, the business model for them literally based on the work that they do off the wall. so it's unfortunate all the way around the mission. over 80 percent of american classrooms are, are, i will say a tragically led by white women. in a recent poll, a 3rd of k through 12 teachers support the g o p lead efforts to restrict educating
2:56 pm
students about race care. and what does that tell you? and what risks are posed when we choose to ignore the important issues of race and its history in this country? so i think this goes back to the g o p. 's continued war on facts in reality, as we've seen with their refusal to acknowledge what happened on january the 6th, you know, they, they do not want to acknowledge what the truth is about this country. and they do not want the next generation of people to understand the true history of this country and be aware of it and try to make changes towards making this a better country. because there are, there are very fearful that that will lead to creating more democratic voters. i think it's as simple as that. i think you indoctrinate people with lies and you keep them stupid in the dark and hope that the vote for, you know, we're today today. we just saw this in the celebration this market moment in american history where june, 18th is now a federal holiday. but ironically, the reason why june actually exists is something that is being banned from being
2:57 pm
taught in american school. is that actually a day of celebration or what? what should we be doing and what can we learn from miss brady? you know, i mean, the ultimate form of loading, i mean making sure the federal holiday while banning the teaching of june teams or a form of like critical re theory or race di launch coupled with refusing to be on the police or, you know, blocking fair voting efforts and blocking recreation legislation is very clear that this is essentially a cosmetic dandy to the experiences and luc reality of last people in the country. the us really continue to refuse to do anything that will change the material condition and the reality of african americans in the country. and you know, we call that i don't seems to really change much of anything we have. we've had m o k day. since i was born at the federal holiday and yet we've watch voting rights continue to be got it. we've been concerted effort to undo, you know, any, any games that we've made with the george boy black live matter. and
2:58 pm
a lot of the time of the sample to commemorate and all that are pushing for a lot of the a lot of these changes to not to actually want to say thank you so much for joining us today. karen young and brittany lewis always a pleasure. having you want to educate our audience, thank you so much for coming on today. thank. having a great discussion to put little truth on the, on the read on the reality of like, ok, will throw you, throw your bone with june. then like, hopefully you just all move on and, you know, they, are they saying the negro national anthem today as well? so all me. good. yeah. there is no racism in america anymore. right? we passed the holiday magically disappeared. yeah, that's right. i got to have good people out there, keep fighting for real justice in this country. that is are so for you today. remember everyone in this world, we are definitely not told that we are loved enough. so i tell you from the bottom my heart, i love you, i am ty, relevant or not, i'm myisha cross. keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and night everybody.
2:59 pm
