how it's communicative impacts, donovan cetera. so demise asians are not just those are islam is based like i'll tell you that. so the way to do, obviously, right for this offensive is on telegrams you've seen will go into more deeply encrypted sites on that, which, you know, it's a hard thing to stop it altogether. what i think states can do is counter that not to come out with another county narrative that they come out with. and i think that's the best way forward. that's what we're talking about. so father says you'll find so much more from us as well that our t, the korean never social media get involved with conversation. why not? so it's good to hear from you. it's past the hour. i'm back with more and just about 29 and i'll finish time and can i kevin signing off? have a good day. mm. mm. the imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century. what other chapters

called gun violence school shootings, homelessness. first, it was my job, then it was my family. didn't was my savings. i have nothing. i have nothing and it's not like i don't try. i look for resources, i look for jobs. i look for everything i can to make this pass and i end up doing, passing the road to the american dream, paved with dead refugees at this very idealized image of the older america, native americans look past the death that happened every single day. this is a modern history of the usa america on our t o. when i was the wrong, when i was just don't the rules. yes, to see out the thing becomes the aptitude and engagement equal betrayal.

when so many find themselves world apart, we choose to look for common ground the good evening, how quarter's a few short months after americans rejoiced to hear that president joe biden would finally withdraw troops from ghana stand by september 11th. it appears to us as rationing up aggression in other parts of the middle east. iraq and syria. the us says it's carried out air strikes against the rock bottom, the back malicious, close to be rock theory, a border. according to us officials, the attacks were done in response to drone attacks on us forces in iraq, protecting us personnel and iraq remains a top priority for president bite. and that makes sense. but these airstrikes don't

starve to stabilize and already shaky region. if anything, they only escalate pension and iraq in militia alliance, a popular mobilization forces or p n. f said for members of one faction were killed and already threatening retaliation. us drone attacks or anything new, but they are creating persistent problems. important salt into a wound. there's also this tidbit, the p. m f, a coalition of predominantly iranian back, she a malicious, create in 2014, to fight the law. mac state argues that the u. s. claims of why the nation attacked just aren't true. the p. m. f isn't the only group pushing back against the us. lead airstrikes in iraq, military spokesman, also condemned the strikes on twitter, calling them quote, a blamed an unacceptable violation of iraqi sovereignty. any rocky national security the u. s. for nearly 3 decades has sang the song of the importance of

stability in the middle east, security across the region, fighting terrorism, and ending the spread authoritarian violence. but it appears with the recent airstrikes. the u. s. is only advancing the tensions, an exponentially growing crises. in air strikes are often indiscriminate and the death toll children innocent civilians. anyone can easily become collateral damage for a nation that police of the globe and advancing human rights. america sure doesn't seem to have a problem. dropping bombs and violating international law question the bound. if the us have authority to strike rotella tory efforts increase the time we start watching the hawks. if you want to know what's going on a city and you want to rush for this, let me show you what you are. the roy gross, right? math grade. all ha, the place they make exceptions. if you like to put these weapons,

so hopefully know what they're ready for watching the hawks, i'm mr. cross. joining me now is michael maloof, former pentagon official. good to have you, michael. thank you. michael. the u. s. reasoning for the air strikes doesn't really seem to jive but what we're hearing from iraq military leaders or the iranian foreign ministry. do you think the u. s. attacks were in self defense that they claim and why now, just a few short months before the troop withdrawal from afghanistan, why is the u. s. dropping bombs in iraq and syria? well, the, the claim by the, by the defense department was that us troops in your bill were, were attacked by p. m. f forces. they've admitted it and they have a, they have a reason why is that they want all foreign forces out of iraq. now the united states is in iraq, unlike serial at the invitation of the iraqi government. but for the prime minister

of iraq, it's a very, very touchy subject because he wants to us there on the one hand to train. but on the other hand, he's under extraordinary pressure on the p on the p. s. p m f. the, the she elements there too. because we've now he's, he has sheer, so that make complicates his life even further. now, the way the united states, one about this defensive move, if you can call it that, is inconsistent with hot pursuit or a retaliatory initiative. there's been a number of attacks by the p. m. s on us assets in iraq. but we've only responded maybe to 2 of them. so the question is why, why are you picking and choosing why just, i mean, why, why are you just got going here? and there just to upset thing,

especially coming on the eve of getting iranian back forces that at a time when you're trying to deal with iran on the, to, to rejoin the j. c. p. away or the iranian nuclear agreement. and they are under many of the p m. f elements. shear elements are under iranian influence. many of them are also sheer or iraqi. she'll separate from iran. so that's what complicates things even more. but we like to put a generalized label and just say, are all iranian controls, whether not and one of the target and it's a, it's a, it's a, it is, this is, this is why in syria i was going to say is that we, we went after their assets and syria, where they think the drugs were being produced well that syria has, doesn't want us forces and in syria either. and assad has an agreement with the p. m. s. forces to allow them to transit,

to transit into back and forth between iraq and syria. so this is if you're going to hit periodically, it's going to be, it raises questions about just how sincere are you about retaliation? and why did we do that? do it this, this just this last time and i don't know the answer to that. next thing i was going to ask you kinda lead into it a little bit, was about the targeting of the facilities. so one of the targeted facilities, the us bombed in the strikes was known to house as bola and other iran groups. us secretary of state antony blink and the action was necessary and deliberate to limit the risk of an escalation. is that enough to justify the attack or in your view? is this a violation of international law? well, it gets back big. well, no, there is. there is an element of hot pursuit, if you can, but you have to do it. and that's internationally recognize you have to do it though, right after the attack,

we waited days and days. and in some cases we didn't react at all to do certain attacks. and the reason why they went into syria is that because that's where many of the p m f. assets for drones are housed now, might be easier if we put in a system surrounding us basis called the for system. and it zaps swarms of drones, which i understand is what they're beginning to get into now is a swarm attack. and that, that is many launching of many drones at once. and there is a system that the army has now called for. and that system can knock out tens, tens of, of, of drones at once and through through electro, electromagnetic pulse michael, i have heard and i've seen some reports as well about the role of possibly the full

amount of killing in terms of retaliation here. how do you feel that plays into the narrative and what are the longer term implications of that assassination? well, the implications are tremendous. number one, solo money was pretty open about the fact that he was going to be going into iraq to work out a negotiation between the saudis and the, and the iranians for a peace deal. and that just seem to upset the trump administration a very, very much because they, they did not want to see saudi arabia doing it, having, making peace, if you will, with, with iran on the one hand. but on the other hand, get really upset the, the whole equation there and the balance in terms of the p, m, f. they, it basically was a rally and cray, along with their own commander who was also killed along with some money,

but sold money, was the father of the strategy to use proxies in, in these countries to deal with isis. and iran is directly threatened by isis. and there been quite a number of attacks by isis, even into iran, and the way they were coming over from iraq and syria. iran had every reason to want to lay the groundwork to try and stem them before and help them before they would reach iran proper. and so, so they're doing, they're, they're, they're doing what we would do if we were, we're going to be trying to stop an aggressor and we do, we, we basically back, i'll kind of, we back isis. and in, when it suits us and, and each side has its own proxies and this is the problem that we're experiencing.

and you alluded to this a little bit earlier, but monday strikes comments. iran and other world powers are trying to bring life back into the 2015 nuclear deal that president trump banded in addition to adding extreme sanctions by wants to rejoin that nuclear deal. do the recent strike make that deal more tenuous and how do you see this playing out? well, in one sense it does because the iranians feel that, that the united states is in the iraq, m, syria, to really go after and really to go after them. not to stop isis so much because of what they perceive to be the support that the united states is giving to the, the sunni elements and isis. and there are cities, iran is she'll. so it's, it's clear that and they also know that the united states doesn't live up to its agreements. so that's why there really, there's really trepidation now. and,

and the head of the iranian parliament is put up can a precondition that we got to get assurance on the, by the ministration that there's not going to be a reversal of things should the administration us administration change by the ministration. can't make that guarantee unless you go into treaty, but that's not popular even in the u. s. congress. so if you try to make the j. c p a treaty, it's not going to fly inside. it will not approve it. and so agreement was just the next step down, but agreements can easily be broken as we discovered in 2018. you couldn't be more correct, their secretary of state state. it's in the blink. and recently announced that the u. s. will provide more than $436000000.00 in additional humanitarian assistance to syrians and the communities that host them. what are your thoughts on this somewhat of a relief package? well that it's how the it's who they want a provided to,

and that is primarily it's a syrians who are in the province area and to bring in humanitarian assistance. they want to do it without approval of the syrian government. and the russians who control the border area, where this assistance would be coming in has not agreed to that. so the, the whole issue of, of, of trying to work something out. i absence the, the syrian government and whose country they, these refugees would reside, is, is problematic, and the united states continues to want to oust aside. in fact, it was during the summer with and biden were put and asked biden not to try to remove aside forcibly, and there was no response. so that's not a good science. so that suggest to me that they may attempt to, to, to do that, even though a thought was just reelected by his own countrymen. whether or not you agree that

it was a fixed election. if it's neither here nor there because it's, it's a fact that he's now the, the, the, the sitting present. busy and he's recognized internationally as the president. so it's, this is what complicates things and why these issues continuously go on. biden has previous to be in a president when, when he was, senator biden had a concept about syria in which he sought to partition syria into 3 parts. and i think that that's the direction that he wants to head. and if he has to put in more troops into syria, in order to reinforce that, and that, that would not bode well. i'm and he's not going to get any agree on the russian or even the turks or them like, i'm a luke. what i have their own agenda, we're definitely going to have to have you back on to discuss this more. there's so much do we need to talk about pack here running out of time, but thank you so much for joining us. my pleasure. thank you. as we go to break,

remember that you can also start watching the hot on demand to the brand new portable p be available on all platform coming up. we'll discuss the newly release you in report, calling for a global response to systemic racism. they tuned to watching the ha ah, there's a concept that economics moral hazard, and that is that if you constantly bail out the worst factors in the economy, they will act with morality. and so the fact is they've got moral hazard steroids. they're rewarding the worst factors who are doing things like info and stealing hundreds of $1000000000.00, some people, and just drawing their own country in trees. and the fact i argue with me go ahead, try the media

a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer. tyson lation, whole community, are you going the right way? or are you being somewhere which direction? what is truth is in a world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah, i still think they can't ride on police report on december 2020 a group of anti finishes. fill out a film crew access for 3 months. there's no like if people organization,

it's an idea that must be opposed as channel out the gate round. they make their faces, but they can say what they believe and we believe in helping our community. we believe that fascism is one of the major threats to the united states has gotten driven. this is a john to see who and teeth are really are in order for me. my 1st amendment right and say that my life matter, i have to be onto the teeth that that's all america. we can't trust the police. we can trust the government. we can't trust anyone except or so to protect ourselves in ah, me, the death of george floyd became a rallying cry for black lives matter. human and civil rights activists in a mere and abroad, derek sharman, the officer who killed george floyd in

a video scene round. the world was sentenced to 22.5 years in prison. 22 and a half years though that senate makes a difference. it hasn't signaled true reforms or any real changes in policing every day in america. blacks are one step away from another. george floyd, with no end in sight. the george boy, justice and policing act faces an uphill battle in congress. in black, still aren't seeing their civil rights on it across the country as voters, suppression, health disparities, and housing in equity continue to threaten progress. so that in the united nations recently made a head turning announcement. in a report released monday, un high commissioner for human rights, michelle bartlett urged countries to adopt transformative agendas to upload systemic racism. the report couldn't find a single state that had fully reckoned with the past or comprehensively accounted for the impacts of the lives of people of african descent today. hugh reparations

sorta you in acknowledgement of systemic racism in need of a systemic response is important. the report goes on to showcase the persistent and consistent be human as ation of people of african descent and the role racial discrimination, inequality, and violence has taken on their daily lives. this report can provide insights into the necessary policy changes. the report is important because it features analysis, 190 depth at the hands of law enforcement speaks to similarities and legal system discrimination against blacks across multiple countries in amplified systemic racism. global action is a fairly new coal, as it relates to remedies for racial injustice. but it's a long time coming. well the you in report matter and how will countries create transformative preparations. here to tell us all about it is gerald horn, professor of history at the university of houston. good, see you, darrell, and welcome to the are inviting me. absolutely,

thank you. the united nations human rights council is urging a global response that includes operations to quote, make amends for racism, against people of african descent. this is a really big deal in america. we know the george floyd murder smart worldwide protests and elevated calls to reform. but to see that you in call the world to respond to racism is huge. what are the implications and why now? it's very significant. the, those of us will study history, recognize that it has been international pressure. in the 1st instance, that has led to progress for black people in particular, since we arrived unwillingly on the shores. what i mean is, if you look at the abolition of slavery, and that was driven not only by the course of this year, and then on the states white people in the 1st instance, but also by pressure from british abolitionists also by pressure from abolitionists and hating if you look at the retreat of jim crow, u. s. a party, beginning of the 1950. it's no accident. as historians have begun to tell us that

this takes place from the context of a cold war. and the united states has difficulty winning hearts and minds in its logical contestation with the socialist count, as long as people of african descent are treated so atrociously, particularly when united states feels they need to compete for resources in an africa that searching towards independence. so that also created a dynamic and international in a global dynamic in favor of progressive change. and now we have this stunning report for the human rights council, which i dare say will have a similar ill port, although it will be difficult to track. although i'm confident that it will have significant un packets, former global and international initiatives, and after horn in a statement, the un high commissioner for human rights called on quote, states to stop denying and start dismantling racism. that's

a tall order. here in the u. s. recognition of pacific racism and even simply saying black lives matter. if it's anti democratic or unpatriotic, what steps are necessary to dismantle races and is that even possible? because it seems that racism is so deeply rooted in the psyche across the globe. is it possible to eradicate it's possible, but it's going to be a difficult struggle. i'm sure that in $1864.00, many people might have found the difficult to believe that slavery would be abolished during the height of jim pro. i'm sure the many people found the difficult to believe that formal jim crow, formal us segregation, whatever be a wrote it. and certainly we're taking steps towards helping to attain the noble aim of this united nations human rights council report. i'm speaking of events that are taking place as we speak, for example, i think it's very important that we're seeking to tear down these monuments to

confederate war. he rose particularly and dixie. i'm think it's very important that we're beginning to move statues and other memorials to confederate war heroes were actually traitors that, believe it or not are still ensconced in the us capital. i think it's important that we're fighting back against voters oppression. we're fighting back against the demagogy that seeks to target so called critical race theory. although many of those were targeting or not know what it means would not recognize it, smack them in the face. so these are all in middle steps, but we have to realize that a trip of a 1000 miles begins with one step. and we have begun that long uphill journey as we speak. that was a barrier way to put things. and we, i think we do have to remember that it's, it's, it's not a re take the while to get to some of the reforms that we seek, that you will report found that police use of racial profiling and excessive force

is systemic. it's not just singular to america, obviously happening in north america, but in europe and latin america as well at very high levels, are policing reforms moving forward in europe in latin america. we know at the federal level here in the us, they seem to be dying on the buying it's a very slow process, i'm afraid to say. and i think that you should reasonably infer that this attack on the rights of black people, which is not unique to united states of america. it certainly and demick in brazil to a degree. you can also find it in one in paris and lisbon in particular. and what those sites all have in common is that all of those capital, all of these countries benefited from the african slave tree and benefit it from the slave and of africa. and i think that if you read the report carefully, it's difficult to walk away without thinking that there has not been

a reckoning with the african slave trade. there has not been a kind of truth commission that help soon plumb the depths of how and why the european countries not to mention countries in the americans. it's just on the united states benefit. it's so handsomely, from the free labor of black people. and even to this very day, one of the problems we face is that black people are still treated as if slavery were still around. and i think that that has something to do with the fact that there has not been a reckoning. her has not been an accounting. and until we have that reckoning. and so we have that accounting, which the human rights council is calling for. i'm afraid to say will always be facing a speak up your client. the un human rights council also argued that reparations can't just stop at money, but also need to have guarantees that prevent future injustice. do you agree and what do those care guarantees look like in your view?

well, i think that those guarantees look like education. in fact, we've had some progress on the education of what i'm sure you know about the story of georgetown university, which in the 19th century going the battle davis, why you bring a sold and slave people in order to keep that university afloat. now, it's a magnificent, well endowed institution, and it is decided to embark on its own program of reparations, by guaranteeing scholarships to some of the, the sentence of the late people that were full, who certainly education needs to be taken into account. i think we also need to talk about building up block institutions, particularly historically black colleges and universities like howard university in washington, dc for example. so i think that there is no dearth of cultural remedy in terms of reparation. what is missing in the political will and last way,

real quick before i have to let you go, doctor, how do you see that being employed by the united states? i read that there are going to be some conversations, obviously with president buying, but what do you think is going to come out of it? certainly the by demonstration needs to be pressured. at times we get the impression that the white administration recognizes that his 2020 victory was definitely dependent upon a massive turn out by black boulder. but in 2021, we're not necessarily see the fruits of our labor. certainly we need to weigh this united nations and rights counseling the core underneath the nose of mr. biden. and his chief of staff not to mention b, u. s. senate and flu shot children because they need to be pressure because the lessons of history is ridiculous. the great 1900 century abolitionists adjusted their power, can see nothing without the men. it never has been, and never one of my favorite quote and dr. point,

it was great to have you. we're definitely going to have to have you back or dropping so many tidbits today. our audience needs to hear it. thanks for joining us. and that is our show for you today. i'm myisha cross. remember, keep watching those talk and have a great day and night. everyone, i me, i having and found introducing and found to, to a family when a new mother is going through that process. yeah, there's certainly tremendous cause for great joy, but because it's in a bath that causes so many different changes. it's stressful at many levels. financial survival does when customers go by, you reduce the price. now,

well, reduce the lower the best under cutting, but what's good for food market to the global economy. in the headlines this, there's a more unmarked greys of indigenous children of found in canada on the grounds of a former catholic run the school bringing the total to over a 1000. it's from to the prime minister now to our pope francis, and to make amends to the community. i really hope that this time it will lead towards hope coming onto the canadian soil and apologizing apologizing directly. elsewhere as a highly infectious delta strain of coven plunges, rushed into a new wave upon dynamic moscow's now, making proof of vaccination q r codes mandatory to be able to get into restaurants and cafes. amount of the capitol put the system to the test. the official inside a whole bit free,

so i get get rid of the mask.
