A boat to launch in the k. Its goals are quite ambitious pledging to transform british politics and reverse brigs it it wants a second referendum on it i think theres no chance of braggs it being reversed the british people have spoken and thats an end of the matter they can bash their head against a brick wall but although get is a sore head for the party is launching in the u. K. Its getting advice from a course can all hear it from helping her and coming from a manual much for his party the public on the march with advisers said to be at a recent meeting did something about tactics and its normally one euro girl friends was glad you came here like us and like many other countries looking for because it was feeling despair i think the danger increasing you can look at the future musical and i think the movement of christian authors i believe with when you use the future you can embrace. Burring the ideas of mcewans which invited in every day people regardless of their experience in politics were new also calls on everyone to join and those behind it hope itll work for them too we dont have much time the only way of winning is by the same miracle as michael. The u. K. Electoral Commission Says there is no issue with the British Party receiving advice from a Foreign Political Party providing it receives funding from it sounds fair enough but what the reaction be if the advice was coming from a Russian Party will there be a great outcry as there would be if politicians from any political or from any other country were trying to advise politicians or tell them what to do but i mean what we should all be doing of course is talking to politicians from other countries not to get advice from them not to be told what to do but simply to find out whats going on in those countries we are streaming in for an interview to discuss the party but they said they were too busy however they made their feelings about art theyre saying that all t. Would look to undermine it also accused the channel of being up propaganda to answer jested that russia had interfered in the brigs boat dividing the u. K. From europe despite a lack of concrete evidence. Really new clearly doesnt have a problem when it comes to seeking the advice of a foreign power such as france when it comes to reversing brigs it a referendum in which the majority of voters or pleased to leave you so it seems that for a new meddling is ok it just depends on the country involved challenged even ski r. T. Paris. A recent poll has found that most americans believe their media is biased and it comes at a time when ever more former senior Government Employees are moving into t. V. Punditry with the controversy surrounding the recent new years memo giving their last a talk about summer can explores if there are grounds for presumption of bias. Many people seeking expertise on the nunez memo must be switching through channels these days so is it a big deal or is it underwhelming was the right to release it well heres a familiar face to answer all of your questions the fact that the newness and republicans deny the ability of the minority the democratic members of that committee to put out its report is just appalling he has abused the office of the chairmanship yes that was john brennan former cia director and now a member of the m s n b c family as a contributor brennan was a prominent figure in the Intelligence Community appointed by barack obama but that background doesnt necessarily mean hes biased right but brett is not the only intelligence official whos joined the ranks of Mainstream Media we also have Josh Campbell who resigned from the f. B. I. And joint c. N. N. As a Law Enforcement analyst hes yet to make his first appearance on the network but before he does heres an excerpt from his latest New York Times op ed defending his former employee these political attacks on the bureau must stop those critics of agency persuade the public that the f. B. I. Cannot be trusted they will also have succeeded in making our nation less safe its not hard to guess what campbell will say on c. N. N. Regarding the nunez memo which accuse the f. B. I. Of bias and just a little reminder he was also james komi special assistant the same komi who is accused of wrongdoing in the memo but of course campbell and brennan are the first to make the switch there is an absolute leftist bias in the country most of the networks if you just add up for example the time that they speak negatively about the president is about ninety percent of the time and there are numerous studies that show this where for example president obama he would do things say things and there would be no Media Coverage of it whatsoever and case in point are the recent memos that were all seeing come out of course the republican memo released the new memo that great scrutiny over most of the american media. A little coverage when what should happen based on that memo for example would be that that molar is investigation should be expanded but thats not what the media has called for now it said that you can never teach an old dog new tricks so how can we expect these x. Government officials to magically shed their previous political associations. Or to. In the seventies president Richard Nixon was relentlessly mocked by the media for imitating a character from the film past and if that was life or should i say politics imitating art ironically what we have these days is the media imitating politics samir khan r. T. Washington d. C. Well be back after this short break. Hey everybody im stephen barbee. Hollywood guy the suspect every proud american first of all im just george bush in our view this is my buddy famous financial guru well hes a little bit different. No one knows about with all the drama happening in our country and the brood have to meet every day americans. And hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the Great American people. Welcome back its been a long five months but it looks like germany is finally getting itself a new government the countries to launch its policies have put their differences aside to agree on a coalition piece although the has the details. Political sconce served have blockhouse hammered out a deal with the social democrats that was described as needing painful compromise by angular merkel and it came on day three of extra time of these negotiations and followed a twenty four hour session we heard from peter the current incumbent of the finance ministry the Christian Democratic Union member of parliament as he was leaving those talks he said it was definitely time for a shower a very tired looking Peter Altmire as well there so what is this painful compromise well the social democrats they will hold on to the Foreign Ministry the Labor Ministry the Justice Family and environment ministries that they held in the previous government but they will gain the very powerful German Finance Ministry now after a moment its unknown which position Martin Schulz would favor whether he would want to be the foreign minister although whether he would want to head up that finance ministry for whatever position Martin Schulz ultimately takes may well regret giving this statement back in september. And. Mr schultz do exclude the possibility of being a minister in the cabinet led by america or that c. D. U. C. S. U. Yes yes absolutely i would never be part of a government so what happens next well it all goes down to a vote by the s. P. D. Membership thats four hundred sixty thousand people that will be casting a vote by mail so are expecting a result from that ballot over the next few weeks trying to drum up support for the deal we saw the negotiating team sending a selfie out to a social democratic you know whats up chant saying they were tired but satisfied and encouraging their membership to get behind the vote it is going to be very tight though should the social democratic membership vote yes. Well that means Angela Merkel will have to go ahead to form a new government we could expect to see that seems place by a step six months after the actual election in september if that is a no though from the social democrats then this whole deal well it all falls apart and all this negotiating has been for nothing and really the only option facing germany would be a brand new election. U. S. Defense secretary james mattis has urged congress to approve a massive funding boost for the military one of the reasons cited was the growing Nuclear Threat from russia and china. Moscow advocates a theory of Nuclear Escalation from military. Congressman smith both an increase and just aimed investment in our capability russias been modernized in the weapons as well as other lucas was trying to do with modernizing and they needed to be considerable bigger portion we need congress to lift the defense spending cap to support the budget for military thank. Several days ago the pentagon issued a Nuclear Policy review in which it named north korea china and russia among the main security threats the Defense Department claims there can be no possible the late the modernization of the countrys Nuclear Forces they review also says washington revs it reserves the right to use a Nuclear Response against a known Nuclear Threat the Trump Administration is pushing for a seven hundred billion dollar Defense Budget for this year which is ninety billion more than last years political commentator lou rockwell thinks any such increase threatens global stability. Well they want more money because they just want more money i mean this is what the government lives to do with lives to spend. So when you start using these weapons its all too easy to escalate its a horrendous thing the u. S. Has got its bases about a thousand bases in this world all around these other countries its threatening their destruction and i dont know whats going to happen but its very very disturbing that these guys are talking openly about this kind of military escalation and its an outrage that the American People should be letting this go on and maybe they dont even realize whats going on but its important that all of us understand whats going on learn something about what theyre doing its its. Its threatening to everybody in the world and anybody whos got children or grandchildren would like to see their families continue into the future to be worried about this desperately worried. The war in yemen is more than a thousand days old and the humanitarian crisis in the country is only getting worse according to the u. N. Almost forty seven thousand yemenis have been displaced since december meanwhile the ports continue to build of children being killed or injured in saudi led as strikes we spoke to some of those affected just a warning you may find the following images disturbing. You know what are you. Doing. How you can understand. Yeah they understand even a lot of us dont know and. Then you really dont know want. To know will most of the split among. The. Were. Going to possibly so i began with demi michel we were given by the president to be you know. Get over you smile she looked much as they should love this medicine and she will be a second on the intimate level. Just to remind you the Saudi Led Coalition started this incursion in yemen back in twenty fifty against whos the opposition fighters which had seized power in the country since then saudi arabia has been under pressure from the International Community or are finally prompted it to recently send aid to civilians the logo are painted on the tents reads saudi arabia a kingdom of humanity author and writer. Believes its hardly humane to wait three years into a Bombing Campaign before sending any help. That saudi actually asked our three years of bombardment by all means that from the from sea from ground they did not actually put an end to this war and declare victory and now more than ten thousand People Killed most of them to be and also. The famine is imposed in yemen is a better that as the situation and the top of that they are saying that we are kidding about the humanitarian side of this war we are helping the yemeni people i believe that saudi is usually in better they is south of this war three years ago and now the internet and humanity can see the graphic effect on the people and saying that the saudi enough is enough. Now is a building in hamburg that was once the headquarters of hitlers secret police the gestapo but if dont post is not stopping developers looking to the future although it seems not everyone is on board with the idea. A little what is it many people died off the torture which is unmentioned thats why there must be a commemorative place here it is a social obligation for the victims who have come here with sorrow. To the future i believe that this place should be more appreciated than it currently is. The mild and thats how much to life in a place of death is at the very least tasteless and what was printed by many newspapers hello hello. Which is phrased in a way thats reminiscent of the words of the concentration conference recess work sets you free. Thats that hope for is the former to stop the headquarters in hamburg torture took place that. One must feel sorry for the future tenants they did not even know that if its a hotel for example its a hotel of horror and torture. Will be back at the top of the hour. I. I. I am. From. All of the things to do something that. Would put themselves on the want to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president or injury. Or somehow want to preserve. Its a good life to be for us this is what the forecast for in the morning cant be good that im interested always in the waters of mccalls. Question. In america a College Degree requires a great deal. Decades of debt. Studying so hard it requires. Going through humiliation to enter society. Sometimes quite literally. Want of the true colors of universities in the u. S. Hello and welcome to our all Things Considered im Peter Lavelle two americas two intensely charged in opposing news narratives you Cable News Networks reflect these divisions or rather function as triggers intensifying Cultural Divide also what has happened to journalism is it now a profession inhabited by hacks and the politically possessed. Cross talking america divided im joined by my guest rob in new york hes a political pundit and journalist contributing to the Huffington Post also in new york we have who he is the editorial director a reactionary times and a newsmax columnist and in los angeles we have ron paul cone he is a comedian a frequent guest on the jimmy door show and the young turks as well as host of his own streaming show get your news on with ron all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated ron you got up early as for this program so you were elected to answer the question here and you know. A great deal of my time. Im i watch cable news and i try to watch as much of all of them to get a variety of them and you know its obvious to say that we live in two very very different americas the two americas that dont know each other at all anymore so when i look at the Cable News Networks i mean do they reflect this Cultural Divide or are they really intensifying it i mean are they magnify it because you certainly get that feeling look again b. C. And fox go ahead. I think that they they definitely intensify a divide b. S. Do they reflect whats really going on in the states or minutes the people that live here i would say absolutely not and to the point where i try very hard to no longer even use the phrase Mainstream Media i try to refer to it to what it is i call it the Corporate Media because thats what it is its own biased somali group of corporations they have an agenda they have a narrative they have certain things that theyre not allowed to talk about but as far as the Division Goes i mean yeah and you brought up the memo as a for instance and i think thats a very good example you know on one side yet at m. S. N. B. C. Trying to make it out like oh this is absolutely nothing that on the other side you know on fox news for instance you had oh this is absolutely everything and the truth is that you know there are things to learn in every given rhetorical of event so yeah theres certainly an agenda but really its just most of the time political theater between the most elite among us and isnt really reflecting whats going on in the United States and more and more people are disenfranchised well thats what media thats why people come to us another alternative media jimmy door youre on very often and i really much we enjoy yeah thats why i havent and hes a progressive i consider myself a conservative but i find him a reasonable person if i knew a reasonable person to talk to iran more or less the same question to you because it seems to me if you look at amisom b. C. And then you look at fox basically with both are doing is theyre theyre. Reacting to a status quo that is changing and i think that rattles both of them ok because were still reeling from the election of donald trump in the media is trying to or not trying to adjust to the political realities so it seems to me that you know before the media horizon there was the rain was there people understood it but its changing changed very radically since then and i think that sees the extremes and the networks that i just mentioned go ahead bob. Well when ron was talking about corporations i mean what are we doing were going for ratings because theyre going to make more money and i used to be three times a week guest on fox representing i would say what i called myself as a sane liberal as opposed to a kneejerk liberal or a complete jerk liberal those are my different types of liberals but im going to hearken back to a book written in one thousand nine hundred seventy three thats always been one of my favorites and its its really proved to. News from no you know where by Edward Jay Epstein and he was talking about how Television News was terrible because they dont actually provide you real news if theyre getting fed information from big corporations and from p. R. Departments and so what i find offensive is i actually got into a little shoving about a shoving match but a little verbal jousting years ago with matt lauer because he gave me this im a journalist kind of thing at a function and hes a journalist like im tom brady. Weve forgotten what real journalism it is and we dont have shoe leather on the sidewalk journalism anymore but we may not be able to have to have that because whos going to pay for it so weird we in effect get real news from sources and leaks and its a good way well you know you know you know and it seems to me that it has got down to just pack speak as i said in the introduction of the program is that. You know i can be very open with im very sympathetic to like Tucker Carlson for example i think hes a pretty reasonable person and he has opposing people on all the time on his program but if you look at like hannity and you look at Rachel Maddow i mean they never let anything that disturbs their world you know interested and i find that really disturbing because thats just basically giving red meat to your viewers youre not teaching them anything youre just reaffirming its an affirmation process in watching the two that i just mentioned and i dont think that they use a whole lot of news its own enormous amount of spin go ahead who will. Well no not necessarily i mean this is the one thing i would say and to speak to you know all Rachel Maddow and her colleague over at m s n b c Mika Brzezinski saying and she was quoted as saying we have to control what people think i mean i think it needs to be fact based i think there is an extreme lack of integrity in reporting at this point and i guess the truth of the matter is that outlets like fox and newsmax are actually reporting facts things that have gone on and if you look at donald trump when he was on his asian tour he struck an energy deal to close our trade deficit with china by about eighty billion dollars if you look at the news that day the news was the speculation that this russia probe supposedly was going to shift to trump directly and now were looking at this in february still hasnt yielded anything substantial that they can pin to trump so its always been about trying to make the trumpet ministration look bad from the left and there is a little bit of a defense mechanism going on in right leaning media but its usually a lot more fact based coming from the right yeah well i would agree i mean we in the memo for example i mean when you look at c. N. N. And theyre missing b. C. Theyre just in denial ok i mean you know one hour they say its a danger to National Security and then when its released they say its nothing here move along nothing to see i mean they are in denial here im going to go to ron in los angeles i mean. In that sense i did agree with julio i mean they dont even want to address the content of the memo for example i read it its very interesting its something i think its very very important but you have the liberal corporatist media i will take your term they just dismiss it out of hand because again its a danger is what they believe is the status quo and they have the right and the privilege to tell the world how to think our and tell the American Public out of things go ahead wrong well yeah i mean im im a very progressive guy and i used to really love Rachel Maddow i used to get. Sitter her a diamond in the rough but recently you know i mean i say if you watch Rachel Maddow show and you take a shot of vodka every time she says the word russia youre going to be i think the average person would probably be dead within twenty minutes. The media has a very. The media has a very corporate agenda going to try that very much. Rob just dont do it im not going to do it you know you do. And cross talk will not be held regatta because i felt fear i dont recommend anyone doing that ok well i dont recommend anyone actually do it with a disclaimer on at the end of the program. Didnt show braun thank you. But yeah i mean they have their corporate you know ill give another for instance you know emmetts n. B. C. Is owned by comcast youve not seen an honest report on Net Neutrality from m s n b c you havent really seen it in any of the Corporate Media but especially not from them because theyre owned by comcast a very anti Net Neutrality company you know when dapple was going on all of the Corporate Media fox news c. N. N. M s n b c theyre all funded in large part by ole oil and Gas Companies so of course theyre not going to tell you whats going on in terms of oil a water protest where do you hear about that you hear about that from the journalists that are on the ground you know want last run on that good man and im not even like that on that point i do remember watching across the board and almost one of those rare moments of unity everybody said its important period we didnt get anything more than that ok i learned more about Net Neutrality listening to the jimmy door show it was an x
