predictably, it did not take long for us military equipment left behind, have kenneth in sharp and on. we'll bring it to your full report. and that means if you ask, abandoning their middle east allies, realigning with others. back in the united states, democrats are ready to make good on their campaign promise to attack the wealthy and the preparation to help pay for expanded social services to tackle climate change. we will give you the 3rd view of whether this is just campaign talk and why republican say individuals are the ones we left paying. the bill and american football season is in full swing and a controversy has become as much a part of a tradition as tailgating and of noxious band. this year, the national anthem in the spotlight again as a one high school over the 911 weekend, refuse to let their students wear red, white, and blue, saying it was racially insensitive. meanwhile, the nfl, it's allowing the black national anthem to be played alongside the star spangled banner. we will have a spirited debate on the merits of this,

as well as the weekend latest winter of the m. m a women's fight. we just happen to be a former special combat veteran. he served as a man. i'm, i know he is in these stories and more on today's news use right here in our america. let's get started. ah, well there's new developments in the middle east as the united states for move a missile defense system from saudi arabia. now this comes despite the kingdom facing rent repeated attacks from yemen who the rebels. archie correspondent natasha suite. has the story invited administration's decision to withdraw troops from afghanistan? it's having a ripple effect in the middle east. now, the u. s. has also decided to clear out as terminal high altitude air defense known as bad as well as is patriot missile batteries. the planning

continues and eastern yemen between rebels and those loyal to the government. according to the united nations, at least 800000, you, many civilians have been killed or injured by airstrikes as 2015 or apart from the human rights council. so demons people, faith, some 10 airstrikes, a day. peace process has stormed for too long. the contract parties have no disgust a comprehensive settlement since 2016. this has left him and his stuck in an indefinite state of war. we know clear way forward, but the chaos in yemen is now carried into saudi arabia. as the kingdom is facing repeated air attacks from yemen who the rebels, the us, removes its most advanced missile defense system fad and its patriot missile batteries. the prince sultan air base has hosted thousands of us troops since 2019 that came as a result of drone attacks on the heart of the kingdoms oil protection. now that attack was claimed by yemen who the rebels, however expert,

say the physical debris left behind points to iran, heading the attack k. ron has rejected any notion for responsibility. however, critics point out that iran paramilitary forces were seen back in january using similar drones. now, despite the us removing its powerful missiles from saudi arabia, the country does maintain its own patriot missile batteries. it can fire to different missiles at an incoming target. however, it doesn't come without a price. each patriot missile is costing the kingdom more than $3000000.00, while the saudi defense ministry calls the relationship with the u. s. a strong, long standing and historic, even after withdrawing truth from ghana stand. critics are questioning the u. s. is overall commitment to their allies in the goals. pentagon spokesman john kirby reaffirms the country pledge to its allies, reporting for new for hughes and hot suites. rti now also in the middle east equipment left by us forces in afghanistan, have now been spotted in iran, says in the report,

for when assaye in front of the house foreign affairs committee about military equipment in afghanistan, secretary of state, anthony blank and maintains that what equipment can be used for the taliban will be used for long. our folks worked very hard to disable or dismantle equipment that we saw control before we left afghanistan. and what we see now is much of the equipment that was left behind, including in the hands of the afghan forces that then fell to the taliban. much of it, based on what i understand from my colleagues, b, o. d is an operable or soon will become an operable because it has to be maintain. it's not of any great strategic value in terms of threatening us or threatening any of afghanistan's neighbors. oh there's so many issues and but this is a ron, is now pledging to work with the un atomic agency. but does that mean that clear threat is easing? well as ask for kinda got official mike. michael, i just heard that statement, like i said it, and i heard him say that the,

what is in quest right now is actual pictures of us how the rolling down the street in between 2 major cities in southern iran. and this was an equipment that was bought by the iranians, by the taliban of afghans. and he is right. it's the equipment that we left for the afghan forces. should this not be concerning? could we not? we were talking about onstar. do we not have on started, we could have made this equipment not able to work besides just taking hammers, which is what we saw. the majority of this equipment was damaged by. yeah, well the humvees are not the issue. i mean, they're going to eventually, they've gotta be service, takes a lot of technical, it's low technology, but it still requires service thing. they, the m wraps be given their design characteristics. i thought was, would be of interest to the iranians because they make the shape charges and they need to know how to counteract those things. i think eventually it's going to peter out. but my concern is what, whatever they've done with more sophisticated technologies such as new vision,

number one, because that is really we have the top of the line and night vision. but for the most part, the equipment that's rolling down the road in, in iran right now was basically given up by afghan security forces. and then to the tele bond, a telephone and then sold it off. that's what i think this is secretary of state. this i know what is so hard. taxpayers paid for it all. exactly, but this is what's why people don't trust right now is whether you're talking about this entire ask in withdrawal where they said everybody was gone. they weren't there either. the secretary of state's not talking to the department of french, or they're purposely mis guiding, misleading the american public for what the situation is. they're trying to, they're trying to play it down. they're trying to low kid, but it was a disaster, but it was taxpayer paid stuff you want to read. in the meantime are going to raise our taxes for more stuff. i mean, it's an unmitigated disaster and, and we should have that the whole practice of how we got out of there should have

been done differently. and i saw the hearings today. they were trying to blame the trumpet ministration, but he had a plan. he had a, a conditional plan to, to get out. that wasn't mentioned by the democrats on the committee. so it once, once again, it's double speak by, by this administration. unfortunately, they're not telling the american people to true, and they just keep di downing on the lies. and i think that's why people are having a hard time with this. and they sold it to a wrong. this equipment has been seen in iran, at the same time around, over the weekend, agreed to let inspectors let these camera cards be replaced. but does that actually make them fully functional? and that me now that we have trusted there on is they're not going to continue their nuclear ambitions well under the well, they're going to continue under the j. c p o, a, the allowing the, the access to the monitors is the minimum under the j. c. p o a. so i e a i e, a can continue to give them continue monitoring can, can,

and it stays in effect. the other countries that are signatories also want iran to be in compliance. so i think under that kind of pressure, particularly from the russians, iran agree to do the, the bare minimum. but there's clearly something going on with respect to enrichment of tech of uranium, radium, and it's, they're going to develop us a good start, a fairly good stockpile. right now they, there's no evidence that they're going to, to upgrade to the 90 percent level, which is weapons grade, but 60 percent, believe it or not has a legitimate medical purpose, but that is contrary to the j. c. p. a. if there, if there's a possibility that they went back to the j b a, let me say it had to go back down to 2.35 percent iran way. has it far exceeded that? so who takes up the enrich uranium,

the russians know we've moved on and now we got to deal with what is now and that seems to be what's holding everything up and, and because we did not, if they did not do the minimum there, the talks would have died well and the whole idea was the americans were going to center them again. and that was obviously something the wrong way i hope to be able to under this administration, repeal the sanctions that are causing a lot of the not going to happen. and in fact, they've been able to run the sanctions, they're looking eastwards. so they have found ways to counteract that, even though it's still hard on the, on the general population. but they're look at eastward and they're going to hear from china, helping them out. and they're rolling with us, pat taxpayer funded vehicles. on top of it is michael, it's always a pleasure to speak with thank you. was mr. maloof alluded to at $3.00 trillion dollars. that is the actual costs, the domestic investment plan being proposed by congressional democrats to help expand social program for children and the elderly was combat climate change. now

the specifics are still kind of lacking and what the programs exactly would look like and where they would see the additional budget. but we do know how it's going to be paid for. so it goes to $360.00 view. we bring an author and economist, richard wolf and former official in the us trade representative office. steve. now i know there's me a spirited debate about our sports, but this also is something that can be up for debate, considering we're talking about a lot of money, a lot of debt that the future generations are going to have to pay for. both of you don't take that lightly, so i want to start with you dr. wolf. how do you like this new proposal in this new corporate tax rate, which would take president trump 21 percent to 28 percent, but it's still not as high as the original 35 percent that we saw in 2017. if res won't those costs like always just trickle down to the workers and consumers. and we do really think that these billionaire corporate guys are going to actually sell one of their mansions to pay for this tax increase? well, you know, an economics, we understand that yes, you're right, corporations will do everything in their power to pass the burden of these higher

taxes, whatever they end up being onto everybody else. they do that with every cost that comes down the road anyway, to the maximum extent that they can put it a little bit in historical perspective. in the fifty's and sixty's, the corporate tax in the united states was 50 percent in the eighty's ninety's and into this century it was 40 percent. so we are now down to less than half of what the corporate tax was way back then when our employment rate was lower, our economic growth rate was faster. we were promised, wonderful things would happen. the only customer patches and corporations. the wonderful things didn't show up, but the any quality in the country went crazy. so i think something has to be done, probably more fundamental than tinkering with the tax. go. ok, so you look at that, you look at what, what will says and you go ok,

can we take some of those same things that we use back in the fifties and sixties with a higher corporate and apply it at times today? would it have those kind of same results? but the doctor was also overlooking the number of deductions and credits the corporations got in those time. so it was not an effective 50 percent. right. actually, one of the reasons that we've eliminated most all of those new pulse is to make the rate more accurate to what's being paid. so the bottom line is that when you raise taxes, you do cost jobs, you do cost the economy, make it less effective. now there, when we look at what happened when the tax cuts, when we did see an explosion of growth at this particular time, when you're seeing a slowing economy rising prices, rising inflation, more risk to our economy, people being laid off or refusing or being fired for refusing to get back seeing, it looks like the buyer ministration. the democrats are following the same effect of policy. do are absolutely deplorable abandonment about game say, i think it's the same sort of planning we saw there. well,

and i think dr. wolf has, as steve mentioned, would not be. what is your problem or do you think would be a good idea to do this fair tax, which is 0 deductions would that actually make more sense and deliver some of the same results? so this is supposed to deliver now because again, it's a more fundamental problem. i'm a little bit amazed at what the other speaker had to say. the reality is that the promise benefits of cutting taxes haven't shown up. we're in a very bad economic situation and we've been cutting taxes on corporations for the last 50 years and almost everybody would agree that hasn't worked out as was promised by all those folks who did it. but you're quite right. if we had a flat tax, then there would be the return of the corporations through their lobbyists to regain as they always tried to do the deductions, the exemptions and all of the usual paraphernalia. corporations don't have one plan

. they either escape attacks of it's on the books or they use their lobby is to change the laws so they can escape or they simply hide their profits in tax havens around the world. we've documented all of those things, which is why i advocate making more basic changes. if you keep giving a small portion of the people of enormous amount of wealth, you can't really be surprised that they use it to control the laws and the procedures to hold onto it. that's your problem, and you're not going to get around it by adjusting this way or that way. well, and that's the thing statement when it comes to a doctor who was talking about, but also talking about just the democrats manager of paying the fair share. why not keep that same kind of philosophy when it comes to social security tax, which is extremely low due to the benefits that is currently paying out for this re support? i know you saw that said it is to run out by 2034. why not apply that across the board? well, 1st of all, i don't know how you can argue that the tax cuts haven't worked. president trump

came in that we reached with the tax cuts levels of gross domestic product increase, that the president brock obama said would require a magic wand. and president trump said, you know, abracadabra, we saw the lowest levels about employment of black americans on the lowest levels. about employment for hispanic americans, historically low levels of employment. it did work. and for those that argue that we need to have the fair share sort of thing, i would point out that when it comes to the federal income taxes, the top half papers, 100 percent of the total federal income tax burden, the bottom half pays virtually 0 and when you look at the federal income taxes, the bottom half is also getting tax credits and, and, and funds. so actually the bottom half is actually making more than they're paying . and as long as you have a system where half the country is pulling the wagon and half is riding in the wagon with, with no cost, it's not surprising that we use waste fraud and abuse because half the country didn't pay for that. you know, to do a poll that people,

should the government pay for this, or that's why people will say, yes, the government to pay for that. if you ask them, should taxpayers pay for that people suddenly have a different attitude towards it. and unfortunately, half of our country are not actually taxpayers. well, it will be interesting to see how this debate continues. dr. we'll see. thank you so much for doing so we'll see if it passes. i think it's still looking at a 5050 chance. thank you. now when we return is the black national anthem being played before every nfl game, actually encouraging segregation in america. well, we will have a spare to debate after the break, the the, the, the, the, i think it solved, or we're going to see something remarkable going to senior economy take off. so

jeannie piano is about to explode higher and that all ratings about to go fully going hyper pigmentation. and that's going to filter up to some bigger countries. it's going to go global and we're all living to something that is absolutely remarkable. i have also said transparency for the powerful receipt for the bell. this bit cares about privacy. what people care about is power and tony and sons is become a symbol of the battles of brevity. information is power. that's what's going on, or a huge struggle with the government's corporations who want to keep information secret and others who democratic rights should be pushed forward. and people have a right to know what to do. watch houses help to shift the conversation around transparency and see what that battle has done to him. i feel like julian might be

coming to an end. we are in a conflict situation with the largest and most powerful employer in such a situation. it's remarkable survive. ah, okay, so the current state of sports america can be considered a little confusing if you're looking in from the outside. now currently at nfl football games, the 1st song you're hearing upon rising is lift every voice insane which has been deemed the black national anthem at east lake high school and the state of washington. as the friday night lights were coming on friday night, students were told they could not have the red, white and blue theme or close of these colors because they were going to be seen as racially insensitive, and could affect people in a way they could not understand i was a current school principal, and that same 9 trans am a fighter alaina mclaughlin winter 1st fight with a powerful chokehold against

a decade long accomplished female fighter. i know can help me clarify eric mitchell's 1st president of life of media and civil rights attorney and radio host . robert taylor. thank you guys so much for joining me. thank god, his guy. ok. they should be fine. i want to start with this mclaughlin versus provost m. m a fight. this is the latest in a growing list of formerly male fighters. i'm formerly male athletes dominating the women's sort of competition. so i'm gonna start with you eric on this, is this, or is this fair? is this right now? it's ridiculous is what it is it to have this last by we're talking, you mentioned it to the top of the hour. this is a former special forces operator for the united states military, the finest fighting military in the world. this is who's going out and fighting someone else who's never been in combat. someone you could be experience fighter, but we're talking about special forces here. and they're going into the ring and playing in this whole new, well, i'm going to go beat up on. it just doesn't make sense to me to go beat upon women because you decide you're going to change your gender. and now hop in

a ring and beat them up. that's out there. if they're going to do anything, they should have their own classification, create a 3rd classification, and then everybody go fight each other use to me, it doesn't make a lot of sense. well robert, that's the thought right now because that's what x we're almost everything is there is a physical element present. would it be wrong? is it discrimination to consider a 3rd gender category for competition in these types of situations? well, i think it is one trade printer population, the american, something like point 0001 percent. so you're, i think the cases that are being high profile because the intention they get, but you're, we're literally talking about, i think, to the 3 women in the entirety of mixed martial arts. and the issue isn't the transgender individuals are participating the sport, the issues of them to they're starting to when they're the transgender will the heavy lifting the olympics this year. and she didn't even play. nobody talked about that because she lost it. so i think the issue that being people are having is this idea that somehow there isn't just any neat advantage. and then you can pull any

guy off the, the, there was a movie called, you want to man, we didn't pull any guy out the stand, put him on the court were professional female athletes. and he went just by being a man. and that's how things work. we're still working through the society. the understanding of the scientists understand the gender is rolled in sports and they will come to a resolution that we have come to results from any other issue or but ok, that's my question. robert brown with us. eric, what are the resolution look like? doesn't everything starts somewhere on this case, and we're also seeing this happen. and you're right, it's one or 2, maybe very small percentage right now, but i rely on the foundation in the future to go again for you see actually these transgender assets being able to compete and win places and scholarships that used to be for females. only eric, this is, this is scotty. this is the woke culture all over again. we're talking about the fellow panelists here just said, oh, brought up the w n b a. so you're going to tell me we can just put dame lillard and put them on

a w and be 18 minutes fare. this is what we're talking about because everybody feels that they a dinna fi as whatever they identify. everybody should play in a league. we can't do that, we play in sports, so we're going to have males feel that they can go already, go into women's sports in college and take scholarships that are already hard enough to come by and go take those because they are now identify as a woman no, that's not fair, that's not how we do are going to have to take that small percentage and keep in mind that small predict is people who have identified and spoke up about it. but if we open up this other category and make it possible, i guarantee the other transgender is that are out there, will speak up and go, okay, cool. there's a place for me that we can all compete against each other and not deal with any of these issues. because let's face it college sports is already a mass. when we look at women's sports, they're not getting a fair shake with the men's teams. are we taking everything we saw that and march madness the last year? we have to create something to make it equal. but we have to do with the right way and we can go and just go look, we're going to go change every sport we've all played because a small group needs to come into know let's create another division and another

bracket and have everybody have there and then there's takes away the issue i do with the whole culture. and eric and that thing that we do are trying to find where we talk about men that are transgender and opinion, women's support. you haven't heard yet, of a woman changing to compete demand sport. that's what i think it's what show that there's a little bit of spare. gee, when the reality is situation. that being said, robert, i do want to talk about the separation. do you think this recognition of the now the black national anthem on the same level as the national anthem actually divides america more people pointed that outgoing. you know, what about the other group is, are we one nation under this, this, anthony? and if you don't like it, then let's at least fix it, but let's fix it together or not start separating us out. what's your opinion on it? you know, i've an interesting because this is you came but when i think bill mar talked about this on his show a couple of days ago, i think this were minus people. the do not have to be a conservative to be a white supremacist. so one like bill mar, considers and stuff a liberal, but the only thing that he liberal about when it comes to african american are

muslim or other minority issue, is ensure that they continue to vote along democratic party line so that you can get him to get a pass through the idea that somehow you are separating people by recognizing the history that has existed in this country. i think that's ridiculous. let's remember we 3rd verse to the actual us start single, better national anthem. going to read it. no refuse could say the herald and the slave from the tear of flight and the gloom of the grave. any storm mingled banner and trying up, we'll wave over the land of the free and the home of the brain. how that dividing, separating people were talking, waving a flag over the grave of dead slaves. so we say we want to have the, the black national anthem plate is simply a recognition of all of those who went before were denied opportunity. and make sure that we recognize that our nation was flawed in the past and we work everyday becoming more perfect union that has not done by ignoring what has gone before us. well, my, our question, erica, i'd love to give you a chance. of course we gotta run, my only question is, what about all the other diversity that we have in this country that we welcome our

boards? and what about the hispanics? what about those that are different other nationalities today deserve to also have a national anthem plate at the nfl games because they're obviously playing in the spore as well. but that's competition. we have to continue to thanks for joining me . thank god, i do want to end of this on a non controversial happy note of sports. and one of the happiest essays right now is daniel med med who just sat down exclusively with rti america. steve chris tacos following his big win at the us open. it doesn't matter which one you in major is a major no matter which surface no matter which country. but of course i actually do like playing in a, you're say not only major spots all the term and i usually play good or in some of them when show them already like the condition. so i knew that use open is always a good chance. made 3 straight semi finals, and i mean it's just super great to finish it with

a win this year. and that's what i said after comment into this. i mean, everybody asked me, how does it feel to be the 3rd time i say, well hopefully i can do better than the previous 2 years and i managed to do it. yes, it does. it does seem like you have an affection of love for the city of new york and the fans, even though they do give you a hard time. they do have you. they were even boy, in fact, points during your serve and your routine. did that affect you at all? or did that just motivate you? yeah, it was not easy, especially if we didn't have funds for some time. the things that they supported me through all it all the week i lot and there was no love hate relationship this year . and i think they just, it was not against me, they really wanted to when there was a lot of surveying phones in the stands. it definitely was not an easy moment, but that's what makes it even sweeter. and that's all the time we have are today. thanks for watching me. ah ah

ah ah ah ah, ah, i hello, this is driven by dream shaped by those in

the me. i think we dare to ask me o is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? type relation or community you going the right way? where are you being that somewhere? which direction? what is truth? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to defend the join us in the depths

or remain in the shallows. ah ah, the pacific leg around the world expedition 5000 miles round the clock of the dead. calm miss wilson in every country close by like the crew cabins. for food and water show fortune to, to check those for us. also look liberal in this thing is got everybody locked down or almost

no food. no. what about that? only give them up. so somebody either stuck in the cove. it, you're living like the female of own, but in the 21st century. ah ah, ah, good evening for moscow where it's just 6 pm on tuesday, the 14th of september, you're watching out the international life from reduction h q. overlooking the credit, the count down continues to millions of russian voters choosing who they want in parliament in a state duma election that will set the political taste for the next 5 years. where profiling the parties and outlining the issues the methods of both is here. the 1st .
