Transcripts For RT Watching The Hawks 20240712

Learn that if authorities thought you passed off a fake 20 dollar bill youd be tortured and put to death and under 9 minutes as punishment or that if a group of heavily armed police break into your home in the middle of the night without warning or identification and you and your boyfriend stand up to them they have every right to shoot you dead on the spot but. If you kill 84. 00 people and burn an entire town to the ground you get off with just a slap on the wrist and a little bit of a fine at least thats the case if youre the pacific gas and Electric Company the 85000000000. 00 natural gas and electric provider behind the devastating 2018 camp fire in california you remember that fire that was the fire that leveled the town of paradise california is considered the most devastating wildfire in the states long history yes after the c. E. O. Of p. G. D. Pled guilty on behalf of the company to 84 counts of Involuntary Manslaughter and one count of illegally causing the fire earlier this week a california judge thursday passed down the most brutal of fine of 3500000 dollars for this companys crimes 85000000000 dollars company 3500000 dollars fine 84 people dead town burned to the ground not a single hour of jail time for any of the executives that my friends is the reality of law and order here in these United States of america and in many other places around the world and that is why we will always be watching the hawks. She wanted was going on a cd the streets you want to. Play so youd like to see that this is joyce state and see a rolls royce gracie suggests least systemic deception is the late show which would be so. Welcome ramona watching the. Boy a boy a major we see all the time President Trump other great great. Leaders of our time here in the u. S. Always trumping law and order law and order law and order but this is the law and order if you are mainly looking at this would say this makes no sense to me that these people get punished for small crimes by these people over here kill 84 people burn a ton of the ground you know 3500000 dollars fine but you know go about your business because law and order has never fundamentally existed in this country discrimination who always has and always will think that the jets position you make here is very important because there is an ideology in many cases that you know there are these strict laws that we should politic make sure that people are saying to make sure that you know where where ensuring that this country is one that others look at as a beacon of the side and were seeing day in and day out that there are some very grievous things that happened right here under the red white and blue and Law Enforcement rarely actually make sure that anything is followed up on much less that people are actually you know held accountable for their actions and heres the actions that were asking p. G. Need to be held accountable for state regulators after this massive fire that we all saw on the news over and over to stay regular said the utility failed to repeatedly failed to maintain a transmission line that broke from a nearly 100 year old tower igniting the whats been called the camp fire and thats not because its cute its because where was it made its not because they want to call it care for. 100 year old how it speaks to the devastation in our infrastructure in this in this country but. Also speaks to the fact that they could have stopped this repeatedly over and over. This victims and theyre not having it joseph brother andrew died in the fire told the New York Times quote the court is supposed to provide justice i dont believe justice is served by a 3500000 dollar fine if ever there was a corporation of the verb to go to prison its p. G. And e. Is that the sentiment that you pretty much what everyones feeling at this point and i believe so i mean powerful words obviously i think that once you lose somebody in something that is demonstrably horrible as if you genie case youre going to have a response that is one of a dire reaction what we saw was that you know justice was not served here that settlement doesnt even take into consideration all the depth of what actually occurred and i think that you know revisiting this and recognizing that we could have done a lot more we should have done a lot more that thats just something that we have iraq why why does the u. S. Have such a hard time why dont our politicians have such a hard time going after these companies because you think about it like enron all that you know they always put these companies up but the amount of devastation that a lot of these corporations do the trickles down throughout the community not just you know here you get a good example from the lit on fire and people died from this fire but just the devastation and the web kind of the ripples in the water that spreads out when they break the law its its massively its crippling this country and on those details because we do an amazingly good job of protecting big business and liberations and youre right sometimes they are the most guilty of the guilty the most simple of the simple people are literally dying Environmental Infrastructure being torn apart and they never really are punished to the extent of the crimes that they do in the crimes they commit and i think that part of that is because we continue to send a message to corporations that you are above the law it doesnt matter youll never really fully be held accountable because Money Matters over Everything Else and we see those corporations as why america of america we see those corporations as where bilton founded on and i dont. I think they will ever reach a point where they actually are punished for their injustice does it make you sick would you then see like these 1000000 dollar 1000000 dollar your salary pundits get on t. V. And like they talk about like black lives matter and say oh how dare these rioters burn down wendys how dare they burn down this this is a company that burned an entire town and killed 84 people and i dont hear them yelling and hollering about p. G. Any exactly the same type of companies that do things like that these are the same types of companies that you know poor a lot of there are a lot of theory chemicals into the water that had a drink every day so we need to really think about you know what leveraging points these individuals have when they throw shade on protesters when they are considerably creating a lot more damage and long range damage that they are never held accountable for the advertising on a lot of these stations that you see these guys get up on t. V. And talk and talk smack about the protesters a lot of those advertisers are the ones who are getting caught in these horrible corporate customers that do far more damage to it to a community than people fighting for justice and equality funny how that works. Judging by the sheer amount of people lounging on beaches memorial day weekend at the lake of the ozarks and the entire American South rarely Wearing Masks you think coronavirus is a thing of the past its not. And the uptick in coded 1000. 00 cases is Proof Positive that the virus might be here to stay instead of ramping up precautions and preventative measures folks seem to be ignoring the threat elite College Sports like ohio state football are taking a page from the Truck Campaign team and asking periods and students to sign wrist waivers heres how its more on this developing story is our team sports producer regina hamm welcome regina hello there bad news back again you are both always with the worst sports news no its actually more of the people know this look we know fans and colleges and everyone is craving sports more than anything we need something to watch now all the colleges are could im starting to allow the leaves to practice still trickling in does it clearly show the n. C. A. A. Is need to not only produce a product but also make some money and by no means should say saying like hey you sign a waiver so were not held liable if you get sick coming back to go to school and play for us i think thats the ties in the whole big business the n. C. Double a is still a business at the end of the day now youve lost the march madness toward you lost millions and millions and millions of dollars so now having athletes come back these are now to be said theyre voluntary work out these are not mandatory these players do not have to come back but ohio state is only actually one of 3 schools that allow a similar waiver youre also having at Southern Methodist university and the university of missouri so these players are essentially saying they will waive any right to litigation if they get sick from cova 19 and College Athletes are getting sick from covert 1000 at a pretty high rate just today the university of texas austin said that 13 student athletes tested positive for corona virus and 10 more had to self quarantine because they came in contact with them there are other schools like clinton that have had about 6 other schools reporting one or 2 but you still are having them come back and play sports football is a contact sport by the way for anybody watching so you are. Not going to be able to have social distance so this is a concern because this is showing ok we need to put a product on the field come september we need to make money because the schoolhouse will also on athletics i will say that but is it worth it at the risk of these kids potentially getting sick because of the showing in florida theyre getting very sick and you know like these kids are obviously you know top of the one of their affiliates of the most holy that can be doesnt mean the absence of people with dangers of cope with but if they get sick with that they go home you know to visit the family over thanksgiving or the family comes to see them than they did sit with them that gets carried on when you go out or the College Coaches are lawfully older there are a lot of people that want or need the n. B. A. That their kids are into as theyre like oh you are maybe just going to like a bubble suit but about a 1000 of the coaches instructors all of them. Have a question so we know bad Dr Anthony Fauci a member of the Coronavirus Task force just today announced that he doesnt think the n. F. L. Is going to return so its interesting that were seeing all of this action around College Athletes there is no indication that club in 1000. 00 its going to go away any time too soon were seeing large upticks in virus transmission already so do you think its worth it to colleges and universities to keep trying to make athletic events happen its a double edge sword im playing devils advocate on one end you have universities like brown who have taken a lot of like track and the number of new sports track and field volleyball and kind of relegated them down to like Club Athletic status so theyre not actually those nonrevenue sports or the school its on the flip side yes you do need to see the schools make money these kids are on scholarship a lot of them youre taking that away but on the other side cultural balls and 1000000 a multimillion dollar product these kids are. Products until they start getting paid then theyre actually you know allowed to do that but anyway these College Athletes need to understand that the school doesnt seem to be looking out for them you can say oh you know were going to all the safety were going to make you social distance are going to make you wear a mask going to make you you know take your temperature checks and do all of these things to keep you in a bubble ok what happens when some of these universities also have other kids on campus because this is just some are these cases like in texas are just some are voluntary practices these arent when theres actually students on campus so its almost to a point where they dont the schools are not thinking long term and this is to be said n. C. The way themselves have not put out this is not like an empty handed down agreement this is each schools decision and i think mark emmert at the end needs to make that decision and have a standard protocol across the board were going to see cases rise and you dont want to see the 1st case of someone dying no you didnt mention thank you sir sorry i didnt know its always there i mean how are you going to know that im going to so much work over that i dont bring in your brilliance brilliant sporting knowledge to our show always of course thank you so much. Thankfully mitchell will stay on for the 2nd half of the show but as we go to break remember if youre going to host the star wars in the arts on demand through the brand new portable t. V.

As the culture war rages on and they did the billionaire clos is only getting wealthier their wealth is not iraq the 20 percent or 584000000000. 00 since the start of the endemic splash law how will these facts shape to compete coverage and his extermination underclass in the north. The south who had to so the need for good and he just knew other than that he meant for us who want to. Make that on the better side going into the book on his son so that this isnt just. Instead of. Me Emotional Learning t. M. Must go i feel still east of korea muscles from the course of your knee which resists him but im sure he was just woken. Up to go chill the church. Compassion that. We think he minds be soldier to piss off the boots hes wearing. To church so the soul looks like the movie the apostle opinion more than the book in the new one like it on the shore stuck in with some Russian Police force sent us all the. We are entering nearly a month of consistent protests in the wake of the officer involved murder of george floyd the calls for justice and equality couldnt be louder the crowd are diverse young people old people black people white people latinos and everyone in between all unified to force america to change and rectify its intrinsically bigoted and discriminatory practices that even during this kind of crisis us President Donald Trump found another underrepresented group to kick the l. G. B. T. Q. Community recently the Trump Administration advanced new policies to prevent health care and accessibility board option for members of the l. G. B. T. Q. Community this is not only current list but an affront to civil rights. At the height of a Global Pandemic we should be expanding Health Care Access not decreasing it when our system of foster care and adoption its filled with young people in need of a loving and nurturing environment we should not be hoarding the gift of a caring family based on who that family chose to love this week the u. S. Supreme court in a historic ruling smack down champs bigoted policies the ruling was a win for the l g b t community and one for equity writ large but we still have a long way to go the protests continue and the streets are being heard but even in a place like thank paul minnesota a groundbreaking site for george boyer protests and the fight to End Police Brutality another kind of brutality has read its head out of your a transgender woman was brutally beaten outside of a Convenience Store just a few days ago her attacker was seen by millions in a viral Facebook Live video do you or was beaten by some 20 plus men predominantly black men this type of brutality begs the question do all black lives matter here to answer that and more is Preston Mitchell writer and professor of law at Georgetown Law Center welcome preston. Thank you lisa thank you so much for having me always a pleasure having you on the head of the trumpets ministration has continually worked to chip away at l g b t q rights and the Republican Party has largely backed him you know theyre in lockstep the make up of the Current Supreme Court lends itself to a conservative leaning that so we see. In the past why do you think they are in the other direction in defending l g b t q rights in this case and what does this ruling mean for the community. So i think just because some of the Supreme Court justices actually cared about the law and applying it correctly so you know as. A bible to 63 the Court Essentially determined that title 7 of the Civil Rights Act to 64 should withstand the law now of course you know we can talk about how this its. Singlehandedly judie at the Top Administration specifically the h. H. S. This final month 15th 57. 00 we know that the teach you people are protected under the law we understand that people like myself actually should have rights under the Affordable Care act and we also understand the Top Administration has consistently from day want it to its one that homophobic and transform legislation so this is no different so if you ask a specific question of why certain for why the court specifically white suit justices that he actually nominated who were against him i believe it is because frankly we are not the only people that are tired of trial and i think they dont want me part of that homophobic transfer transform that legacy thats a talk ministration has simply interwoven and thats part of fabric of society. Very true empresse then i know that weve had you on before and weve discussed this partially but we know that a lot of the cold cases are increasing how are the l. G. B. T. Q. Americans handling this because we know also that oftentimes theyre under served in our Health Care System already. Tourette i think thats part of the same you know to be completely honest part of what weve noticed for at least the past 3 months but we have data for a longer period of time where that many people live in the south and live in the midwest and a lot of black and brown people live in the south and midwest maybe who have preexisting conditions and theyre not preexisting conditions because were not taking care of ourselves theyre preexisting conditions because we live in a society that has closed one competency has clinical incompetency that actually has homophobia really but then the clinical staff and so its something that we really try to do with assure that all virtually all to people of color have access to you know the Clinical Study and not just have access rights have actual good access have affordable comprehensive health care have family and medical means back so of course cold but it will be devastating to those communities as well im a part of those communities but one of the things that. Really it live its to make sure that we still stay socially distant if safe and possible to do so because frankly we know the truth ministration i care about our health so we have to be the community at your flat or on most definitely and speaking of caring about our own and all that i want to ask you know here we are witnessing this historic monumental fight for justice and equality but you know in the United States but yet even in the middle of these now global protests we are still seeing upticks and violence against you know the black Trans Community as a mission mentioned earlier how do we stop further marginalizing of this group and others as were all standing together saying ok enough is enough we all want to quality we all want justice. You know one thing i want to make clear is that i am not a transgender person i am sister ender and part of being insist gender my role is to really protect and speak up for transferrable when i see any kind of violence happening and so you know one of the saints again thats a quantum leap clear is that any old to not value the lives of black translight men and that includes some black people that includes black people or sister and heterosexual and so when people say lives oh black lives matter we mean all black lives matter you know the truth is we have a hash tag right we have a man as black lives matter whats actually happening bell is we continue to march for the same lies over and over again we continue to march for oftentimes black street sister and or men and so because of that it is really important for us to kind of name that were not talking about black women oftentimes unfortunately were not talking about the Briana Taylor shes the lead were not talking about the stance of plants were not talking about the i honestly jones were not talking about the small woods were not talking about cia wanted here as were not talking actually list literally name of the name of black women will system trans who we dont march for and so were. Actually talking about the violence that happens against transfused and black chance in a particular we must not forget were talking about the intersection of race of Sexual Orientation and of gender identity were talking about what happens when someone have one hand of White Supremacy in another hand a preacher over islands were talking about what happens when we are silent about the deaths and about the killing of black transfuse were talking about what happens when black transformers are killed by either lamp keys or black men or Police Officers right were talking about what happens when were actually seeing black transfer people experience interpersonal violence and state violence so again as a sister man my role of responsibility is to always always always protect transform because i know deep down inside that theyre going to be some black sister heterosexual man wont and i know deep down inside certainly that Law Enforcement will not really protect them and care about their murders here is speaking to my soul with that roll call their preston and i thank you for calling out the huge diffidence that we often have when it comes to that divide between whos black lives matter and who is technically do not i have another question and you know that its an Election Year in Election Year politics get wonky what types of policies does the l. G. B. T. Q. Community advocate for during this moment in history where all eyes are on black america. Its on the i have to be honest one of the things that im working on right now its been an article on you people should should also support defunding the police so one thing that i really think is important is to really its pride month we need to think back to the history of the Stonewall Movement where on june 28th 1969 people like marcia penn all mine johnson people like sylvia repair people like miss major were really on the front lines of what we now know as a pride you know the 1st try it was a riot and so what im talking about policy im talking about why the son in the police and investing in communities that that look like us that actually are black and brown that are actually plus other things must be protected and not only the local and state level at the federal level even though exacerbate jordi of Law Enforcement budgets are really at the helm at the local level we need to call attention to congressional members cetera leaders who can actually provide incentives who are actually encouraged local and state elected to say you know what lets take your 500000000 dollars budget of policing and actually invest in things like housing for unhoused or employment for people who are unemployed or underemployed health care for people who dont have Health Insurance because many people dont have employers who have Health Insurance through their employer so when youre talking about elect policies at the federal or you go its a local or state level that else because you people need one of the things that will employ or else needs people to do is also joins join this and i mean because i couldnt agree with you more Preston Michel thank you so much for coming on always a pleasure having you on to educate our audience. Thank you so much i appreciate it. Well my friends it appears the just when you thought 2020 couldnt get any more bizarre the ancient mayan calendar to hold my beer yes the internets and social media were on fire this week dusting off the old mayan calendar end of the world prophecies with word that surprisingly and yes morocco. The original calendar prognosticators who said that the mayans predicted the end of the world back on december 21st 2012 actually got it wrong clearly because were all still here well now according to a new interpretation that translates the mayan calendar into the julian calendar instead of the gregorian calendar the world is now supposed to end yes this sunday june 21st and he fathers day holiday so my friends start planning accordingly or dont or really why not just start living each day like its your last and make each day the best one that can possibly be because the truth is no dusty old calendar makers hold the answers to our fate we ourselves do.

Bush or secular would all but us lucifer mistletoe is just that im like i dont im just by nobody it is not my achievement mr davies are 5 you have plans for conceit but indeed i could get it out by the people themselves if al would produce or even florek it with the idea of making a film like this he probably be branded as crazy. Now was the sentiment during the war the soviets were brave heroes resisting the nazis thats going to change of course after the war but once the cold war begins. Little people think that hollywood is a free place but only what is a strictly defined but only one side of the business and the other side is ideology. How would i define hollywood is they call it a dream manufacture which i thinks true but i think equally its a propaganda factory. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on ill show you whats the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this area russia. What is it suddenly about the South China Sea that makes it so of added 11000000000 barrels of oil.
