the next h as toward historic day in monetary history, that would be august 15th, 1971. the day that then president richard nixon closed the gold window, basically defaulting on america's obligations to great britain at the time. and since then we've had pure monetary chaos. oh right now there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. it's profitable to sell food that is pricey and sugary and faulty and addicted. not at the individual level. it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change as obesity epidemic, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment, ah, what's driving the obesity epidemic? it's corporate. me

ah, happening today on the hill speaker, nancy pelosi had picked on the events of january 6 has begun. we're going to give you the rundown of what the committee was told and give you the 360 view of how democrats and republicans are viewing this hearing. and china is hoping to get america a taste of our medicine, but will imposing sanctions on american businesses be the cure to what is a problematic relationship we're going to discuss. and what you think about parents being told not to have their children apply to top colleges because of the color of their skin. that's what one group did in dallas. and we're going to bring you the details as well as the reaction i'm starting to use and you are watching news views . huge right here on our to america. let's get started. ah

raleigh day, one of the january 6 commission hearing marking the 1st hearing held by the democratic lead house select committee investigating the attack. now the 9 member panel appointed the heroism, while makers on the panel. lot of the officers here a reason. but it blasted republican colleagues who they say are downplaying, the events of that day will not downplaying anything. very bronze. i can with a live outside the capital with the highlights of today. fair and i want to just got it. i want to go over those for officer 1st, but we'll talk about who were they, what did they have to say? yes, scotty. so those officers arriving early this morning. the screen didn't last too long this afternoon because, you know, there's only 9 panel members, so not that much question that they had to go through, but you had to from the dc metro police department and 2 from the capital police department, those 2 officers from the capital police officer, harry done an officer, you know. good now and the from the d. c. metro police officer,

michael for known an officer daniel hodges here is a little snippet of each of their emotional testimony from earlier today. i told him to just leave the capital and in response to yield. no man, this is our house. president trump invited us here. we're here to stop to steal. joe biden is not the president. i too will been crushed by the riders. i could feel myself losing oxy and i recall thinking to myself, this is how i am going to die. defending this entrance, he bashed me in the head and face with an rupturing my lip and adding additional injury to moscow. at this point, i knew i can sustain much more damage should remain upright. i feel like i went to hell and back to protect him in the people in this room. but too many are now telling me that hell doesn't exist or that hell actually wasn't that bad. the

indifference shown to my colleagues is disgraceful. and scotty, you know, one of the things that the officers at the end of the hearing were asked by the panel of what they wanted after all of this. and they said that they just wanted the investigation to keep going. they wanted to know who knew what and when, why they weren't not why they were not given the help that they were asked to and what was required of that day. and also they wanted to just make sure there was anybody on the inside that was involved. and those hearing members saying that if there is anything, it's answers to those questions. fair. and there were 2 republicans list chaney and adam cans and, or who got a little emotional with it. right. yeah. and actually, you know, those 2 republicans are the only 2 republicans on this committee. and a lot of republicans are having a lot of problems with that lives cheney do it throughout the hearing was very matter of fact adam can thing or as he mentioned, very emotional, take

a listen. you hear the former president, trump say quote, it was a loving crowd. there was a lot of love in the crowd. how does that make you feel? it's upsetting? is a pathetic excuse for his behavior, for something that he himself, how to create this monstrosity in a democracy is, are not defined by our bad days. we're defined by how we can backs and bang the bad days. how we take accountability for that now, and the conclusion of the hearing, adam kinsey was asked of how fellow republicans want to remove him from a number of the committees that he sits on here. was his response to that. all i have to say to that is we had a big attack on january 2nd. we heard very emotional testimony today,

and that's what's on the forefront of my mind. and if people want to get petty, that's fine. i think that reflects more on people than it does on the situation at hand. this is a historic moment and this is a democracy defending moment. and no matter the consequences, me and i know lives will stand and defend democracy. and scottie, you know, it is still in limbo, whether he will be removed or not. republicans on the hill, are talking about possibly taking some of his positions away. and we can never say never, but because you know, sky, we saw what happened with liz cheney, where she was removed from her position. well, it will be interesting in a lot of this comes out for the follow up. there were republicans, were also not allowed to sit on the committee and that was held by the democrats. so i think that for that controversy is coming up, we're probably going to feel like they have that right. speaking of that, let's talk about the make up of the committee as it stands and let's loin out. this is not how the republicans, one of these were not the names. the republican submitted was,

was trading and adam kids, a girl. so tell us what, who actually made the cuts. right, so scotty take a look here. you have those 9 members here again with those only 2 republican members, adam kin singer and liz cheney followed by 7 other democrats here. take a look. these were the 5 republicans that were actually submitted by the g o. p to be on that committee speaker of the house, nancy pelosi denying them to be on the panel. and to take part in this committee hearing you had also excuse me, representative minority leader, kevin mccarthy saying that, you know, this is kind of a push back. not wanting to answer those questions. one of them being that on january 5th, donald trump called for $10000.00 national guards guardsmen to come and guard the capital, and he was denied that request. you have also former senator ron paul, he's saying that if you're going to compare this to the 911 attacks like what many democrats are doing, you have to then compare it to the 911 commission where you have to make it fair. you can see here, there is a 5 republicans,

5 democrats who even had midway through the 911 commission hearings, a democrat resigned. they replaced him with another democrat. so again, the republican saying, if you want this to be fair, you want all questions answered. you will have an equal amount of republicans and democrats. now, the hearing is what is expected to go in last throughout the week. but what's interesting, scotty, is they're not as the least of this broadcast, not putting out who is going to be testifying tomorrow, thursday and friday. so it'll be interesting, scotty to see who takes a panel or who's going to be testifying in front of the panel. the rest of the week, scotty. and let me just point out here in, in the past we have had that agenda kind of already laid out. we knew these officers were going to be testifying today. but we usually had kind of a general idea of where this was going to go at this point. it really has not been released there. and thanks always for joining us on this. now as you can imagine, the democrats and republicans have viewed today's hearings

a bit different. so let's get their perspective. joining us just former georgia representative, a d dock and hagar and political commentator j k. brister. thanks for joining me on this. thank you for having ok. today i'm going to start with you because this is kind of the show. this is kind of your show that for the democrats are kind of leading this whole thing. let's talk about the panel make up itself. do you think speaker policy should have allowed the republicans to put whom ever they wanted on it. and what does that have kind of void out that argument from the right that automatically dismisses this as just another political show? well, i think below could be the difference for the $911.00 commission and we all knew that we had a common enemy up the ridge. and now what happened that a capital people that are in denial and see nothing wrong in college. sure. so therefore, you're going to have to put that in a co op the entire, you're hearing only because they don't want to being private. donald trump,

we know what happened with clearly threat dr. mark. so jack, happy, i'm going to look at you in this. the accusations from the democrats, republicans have tried to minimize what happened on january 6. do you agree with that idea that republicans have you take a yes no, i absolutely do not agree that the republicans have minimized what happened at the capital. in fact, we are appropriate east were pro america, we believe in the law of the land. there's the republican party has been strong supporting the police, supporting even the capital police. this, our party is not against that. so then you look at them, what happening? you see the images, you're seeing what's happening right now. j. k, you see these police officers testimony. so if, if the republicans are for supporting law enforcement, why are they supporting these guys?

why did these guys feel like they've been abandoned by those that you know, that might be a part of the g o p. so i will say this. they have not been abandon. we support law enforcement, 100 percent and i'm a, i'm a constitutionalist and a patriot 1st on the republican last but i have to tell you that they their testimony was unbelievable. today i watched today their experiences and what they went through at that capital, no one, not me, or your other guest or you or anyone else can look at that and know that right in the middle of this malay and what was going on at the capital of course they felt in danger, they testified to their feelings and i'm not going to judge them. i take their word for how they felt and what they experienced. i will tell you that as republicans, we support them 100 percent. what i don't support is the dog and pony

show and the political, basically, committee of democrats because there aren't any republicans on that committee in my mind that are attacking 80000000 people and trying to paint us with the same brush as 3 to 500 people that rush that capital was it stupid? was it illegal? was it criminal? yes. i think the everyone who did anything that they should be accountable, but we are individually accountable. you cannot hold me accountable for what a small number of people out of the hundreds of thousands of people that were in washington, that data support president trump for what they did. and that's what i want to bring over to because this is where i think there should be some common ground here that yes, there are some bad apples. every group that would be like holding every single person that was at the peaceful protest for black lives matter last summer, accountable for the looting and the violence that we saw on the streets to do you agree on that? that's where you can all see this. the simple point,

the bad to take the bad apples and paid the entire movement, whether side of b as being horrible people. can we find that piece in common ground? if you were genuine, but see the problem here is there have been nothing but denials about what happened and we all saw what happened old j 6 and i am very disturbing. people still trying to make a feel for what happened. we know what happened and it's, you know, the republican step kind of like the get if you say it was wrong. how about the people who are like the office up there, the capital, it was wrong that it should be handled and not try to cover it up like it was just a normal day of this is just a breach. when people on the french discuss that we don't appreciate, we call if you recall from the very beginning when people say crazy stuff like the police, i did not agree with that. but maybe, you know, may have to pull open neither the many of the people in college i jump out and the rest of them, it was only a few people on the free as you say,

deep on the police. so if you got to you that broad brush away across the board in that just what it can be, oh, i want to have this conference continues garza and j. k. do we've got to go? but let's obviously watch us. we can, let's chat again in the future about it. well, the chinese are pushing back on american businesses and individuals who did not support their actions in hong kong. what will be the response we're gonna discuss right at the break, stay with us. the much of history is about patterns that are ebbs and flows of political passions. most of the time, these passions are negotiated through compromise. other times there is people violence in even separation. the idea of succession today is not far fetch. we are witnessing a cultural possession and separation couldn't go even further long

when i would show the wrong when i was just don't the shape out the thing because after an engagement equal betrayal, when so many find themselves world apart, we choose to look for common ground the an activist group in dallas, texas is calling on a white liberals, living in a neighborhood to avoid sending their own children to ivy league schools. the reason well apparently to make room for minority students to attend those top universities articulate wanted to touch a sweet has more on this group mission. and what they represent, a flag is circulating among white liberals into wealthy texas neighborhoods who supported the black lives matter movement. there are only 2 choices. if you don't

agree to the pledge, the only other option marked is being a racist hypocrite. don't was just this now has sent a letter to white liberals and texas, who were supporters of the black lives matter movement. highland and university park, or some of the wealthiest areas in the country. first, they're being asked not to send their kids to the country's top. i'm link schools making room for more minorities. find the pledge also has been say they accept their so called privilege. the pledge goes on to say these white democrats should make sacrifices for the years of oppression. people of color have faced. since these letters were targeted to those who support the b l. m. movement, the letter says recipients are in a position to correct quote, cruel injustices. michelle washington spokesperson and founder of dallas justice. now it says white abolitionists died in the civil war so that we could live as free men and women according to data usa, roughly 6 percent of the student body at harvard and princeton r block. although statistics don't reveal how many actually applied compared to other ethnicities,

there has been talk of operations including free college tuition for blocks. a task force in california is currently reviewing different options. now the group dallas justice now fit on this website, it will publicly announce the names of people who did not find the pledge reporting for me to choose and how sweet our team there is this just identity politics or freedom of expression, or joining us for our perspectives are probably can stratus and former congressional staffer jennifer massey, jennifer, when we're looking at this, i have to ask you, you know, should parents were continue to do? this was kind of a story that was really interesting when i saw it over the weekend, i was like, this could not be true. and like i said, it's across the board. whether or not they would actually put that letter and send it out or finding out that in dallas this letter did go out. so jennifer, when i, when i taught, i should parents think about political agendas of the institution when choosing a white college that they want their children to apply for unfortunately, they really need to think about that before they decide where they're going to go.

and i tell parents that all the time that they need to look into the university because you want your children to go to a place that has diversity of thought. and most of these left lending institutions have no idea what that means. they will be discriminated against your children if they don't fall in line with the left professors and the school administrators, which is really unfortunate, but it's the way it is. their grades will be punished, the refund, their grades will be punished if they don't write about what they want them to say . and they will be unfortunately, in many groups not popular. i'm thinking about myself and republican president and i, i was public enemy number one. well, and, but this is, texas is a very read stage. you know, you don't conversations like i think that texas is interesting because actually got a lot of diversity on it. and it's not just african american community. hispanic community is very well represented as well as you know, you've got everybody in there. texas politics are completely different. think than most states around the world. so do flyers like this actually help or hurt the

conversation regarding race relations in a community like us. and like i said, you have a large hispanic population as well within that state. so does it help the conversation happening? no, it actually hurts, especially in a city like dallas and speaking as a text. and i know how diversity is there. there's 41 percent. hispanic, 62 percent white and there is 30 percent black. there is no need of to divide these people by race. it only causes problems what the ultimate goal is for the government to have more control over the people. so their number one goal is to divide by race unfortunately. so when you see something like this, the, the question is as people say, well, if you just ignore the conversation, then that's racist itself. if you just say that everybody's the same, you're not addressing some of the problems from the past. so that i think colleges are starting to do right now by paying reparations to dish. and as of savory victims are saying, you know, we don't want ignored. so do you think it's fair though? however, what about these other groups or put one group over another?

what about other groups that might be able to prove that they had injustice done to them in the past? you think maybe that conversation might need to start growing from this? yeah, i think that conversation could start growing only to show how ridiculous the other conversation is. so if everyone looks in their lineage, at some point, they will find an injustice that has, that has been done to their ancestor. so we can just pay everybody reparations. and how these democrats always have these grand ideas of how to implement these plans, but they never share the details. how are we supposed to know what is going to suffice for, for to get rich reparations. are they supposed to prove that they were a slave owner? or prove that they were a slave, is appointed pretty a percentage of their ethnicity like my, my nieces, their half lack. are they going to get reparations? there's so many details that need to be worked out. and the whole idea is just wrong and terrible to pin pin people down on race or 10 people down for problems

that they did not cause or had nothing to do with. okay, so then let me just ask this and we always talk about the problems. what are the solutions? where do you think that we can actually find a way to actually grow together and find something that we can grow from? where all communities, especially here in america, could actually say, let's have this conversation. and maybe we can start talking about the problems and find ways to be unified on others. where do you see it's probably those issues that right now, because we're probably getting offense. i have a really bad track record in history with attractive minorities and diversity within to their party. where should they do better? well the thing is, i think they were on a, a bit of a role with trump, as, as many minorities came over to the republicans in vast numbers more than any time in history. so they were doing a little bit better job, a mess and messaging, but they really need to have the leaders in these local communities come together and talk, maybe it public forums and have the community come out that i think that would help a lot. and in further ring understanding for what each person in the community is

going towards and where they feel things could improve. well, jennifer, it's great talking me and i think your empathy in any of these types of situations and humbleness is usually something unfortunate. they're probably going part, she doesn't know for in the past. i think that's actually able to find solutions instead of this kind of divide that continues to show out. thank you so much for joining us. absolutely. thank you. so any round of sanctions on us businesses and individuals are being imposed by china in response to the us sanctions on chinese officials and hong kong. so those who will be affected however, by these counter sanctions include a former us secretary over ross. sophie richardson, human rights watch is china director, karen bartholomew, chair of the us china, economic and security review commission. adam king of the international public institute. but they all have a big comment. so johnny is this guy where this back and forth might end is a roger balls seo, the inter med resources we had you on roger because you're one of those businesses that do a lot with it in both in china and outside. you've had to do with it. so i got to

ask you on this latest move by the chinese, i call it kind of chinese checkers. white house is saying the u. s. will be under turn by the chinese response. but i have to say something that all those people kind of have in common is it, those are republicans, mainly people from the trump administration, organizations that are known to be more conservative. so to try to not realize this, a lack of regard, that each party america for each other. in fact, i think the bite and white house should probably shouldn't, for baskets to show their gratitude in this moods. well, its obvious scottie and thank you for having me on again. basically, the chinese watch our politics more than anyone. and when you see something like this, if you just put it on a screen without saying who did it, you would think that the body and ministration did it themselves because it doesn't affect the by the administration. business was throwing a bone to the by the administration. it sounds like when you hear the word

sanctions, while that's a big deal, but not in this case, coming from our side because it's exactly what the body and ministration want they trying to cut out as if the trump administration had never happened. so china just obliged them on this part of it. it has kind of a parting gift as you're leaving the doors that go by the way, we're going to sanction all those people that did not when it last fall and you know, good luck to you guys. you know, china introduces national security. i just kinda just fine. this is in hong kong last year in response. those massive protests are happening pro democracy, protest right now. it criminalizes this session for version and collusion with foreign forces and carry the maximum sentence of life in prison. the 1st person was just convicted of that just recently and will be going to prison for life. do you think, however, this will actually deter hong kong businesses from working with us companies, especially those that have a history of probably more working more with the g o p, than the democratic party?

i think it will actually, i've been talking to folks over there at least a couple of times a week. it's to the point now. you're right they, they are convicted the 1st one, but they have arrested over 200 people who are waiting trial for this. and just since this week, i've heard from some of the people i've been doing business with for over 20 years, that they consider insurrection as waiving right now, waving the american flag. and that is, that is a sad state is especially here in this country. you have so many people or kneeling on our flag when everybody else in the free world knows that that flag means freedom. so it's going to tour several businesses from actually going into hong kong and from several companies in hong kong from wanting to do business. because sometimes if you're in hong kong and you're a manufacturer, you do business with american companies, sometimes you adopt a lot of their policies, just keep manufacturing it and how do you,

how do they know that's not going to have them somewhere in jail? so let's talk about what the past has taught us. maybe to show, obviously a preview for the future. does a law like this and that they're actually bringing people to conviction with it so that china is tightening their grips on hong kong against. they don't see another round, a protest calling for independence in the future. well, i tell you what, i'm really surprised and in some sorts about trying to doing this, because usually they think way in the future they try to put on what they call a false face to attract businesses. but in this incident, it's almost like they are really taking offense to hong kong. i can remember i was actually there when hong kong was liberated into china as arms from the british and president young, i think at the time said we will always be hong kong. we will always be a port to international business. and they are literally cutting their throats by

putting this law in which is already in effect, right. and they do not realize how they are just cutting their throat from your business transactions between american to and other countries. we will see where this goes. thanks for joining us. thank you. scottie. and at that time we have for today show, but i promise this is a conversation was always continue. so follow me on that are really the at study and you've used the hash tag team n d a. and for this show and all the great programming we have here on our america allied purple to be on your apple or android by going to see you right back here. thanks for watching. ah ah. driven by a dreamer shaped by those in

me dares thing. we dare to ask in a whole lot in my phone are 60 and i don't i just saw under the format isis fighters and they're now boarding a philippine naval ship in

john $900.00. jeff, aren't abdulla still don't know who was waiting for them to do and i didn't actually get a hold of me . ready ready i i the

ah, japanese rocked by a deadly explosion and an industrial park for chemical companies is left to death. more than 30 wounded environmentalist tools that sound alarm over a huge cloud of potentially toxic black smoke created by the under the videos and images of unconscious and naked women found in the possession of a u. s. diplomatic. confess is that for more than 40 years, he drugs and sexually assaulted his victims in mexico city. so things are getting heated. the lympics threatened to start any of his challenges during a press conference with a question more about politics than school.
