And welcome back to coast to coast Ga dory with you we've got an action packed couple hours with you Craig back with us he was a speech writer and special assistant for special projects to the late Republican Congressman Jack Metcalf he has been a consultant to federal law enforcement d e a Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms of course in a public and security for more than 25 years he remains a paid analyst and consultant in various areas of geo political business and security issues including terrorism military affairs couple of his books include The Hydro carnage and also corporatism an empire a philosophy of fascism Kreg Welcome back how are you my friend. I didn't expect it so. Well we get published the new book corporatism. Nov 26th it just came out perfect timing it was quite a top card but. We printed and I'm. Happy that on the 1st one we were already sold over $100.00 books did. We really that. Which is actually a good thing you'll probably do that tonight to just buy that again well I would suggest to get this fixed at the that will put it on sale for $60.00 for your audience because I think we've been on for about a year. December 19th was the last time you're on with me yeah you looked at upright and welcome back. It's a pleasure What would Jack Metcalf which be saying about what's going on today he if he were alive I could tell you exactly what he would say well he would said to me I don't know if he would say it publicly but he would say to me. God bless you. And I am a conspiracy theorist. Interesting. The way he wasn't afraid to admit it in private circles and I think a lot of congressmen and senators understood that that his take on it was very realistic it was based on a lot of research unlike Ron Paul he supplied me with his original documents I have the original copies of documents on the Federal Reserve interlocking directorates of the corporate corporate world things that are invaluable today you can't find them I have 1st editions from Jack and from Ron Paul both so but it would be very upfront very honest and he believed there was clearly not just one I was the 1st guy ever said to him when he asked me what he told me 1st that he was a conspiracy there and that I say I understand and he said well I believe there's a whole lot of conspiracies and I said I think you're right but we're not allowed to talk about conspiracies of course in criminal law there's nothing but criminal conspiracies we have a rico act to address that and we admit conspiracies in T.V.'s in movies all the time every day of our life in England Britain France Germany all admit government conspiracies corporate conspiracies p. To lodge Masonic conspiracies the whole world didn't Its do it we're just told that that's not true here in America and I think that's a damn shame because. I've worked with people like Dr Joseph I was in the Kremlin for 30 years as a doctor I. Came over here and gave lectures and what he described every day life with conspiracies it's what people do Frederick me just said the lie is a natural state of being. I just don't understand that you're not going to survive well I had a story a couple days ago I wanted to ask you this right away confidential documents obtained by The Washington Post revealing that senior u.s. Officials Craig thing able to tell the truth go figure about the war in Afghanistan throughout its 18 plus year campaign that backed out one of the lead articles in my white paper that I found out to the client every month and in fact they should have been what you should have said added to that gang case you weren't aware Andrew base of it also wrote an article for Defense News and he said straight up if you Ukraine is impeachable What about Afghanistan exactly everybody said we were winning and everybody knew that we're talking 18 years and we're still there we're still there will never leave that they're talking right now in fact another article in this new white paper in an article saying how we should get out of Afghanistan and why we should make a deal with the Taliban how in the hell are we going to make a deal with the negotiators on the Taliban side when 6 of them were released from torture chambers in Guantanamo Bay Oh my God 6 of them so we think we're going to negotiate and by the way 2019 also the same thing and in my newest White Paper to my client. The night he was the deadliest ever the Taliban have absolutely just killed people right and left bombs assassinations gunfight it's just endless and it'll never change. What do we still do in there Greg what do we do in there well George Bush Jr actually set the stage for this is he enlisted. To search for rare earth minerals gold silver water oil and anything we we finally have the global capability that the technology in our geo physical capability is like never before so George Bush Jr enlisted the National Geo I general society and the n.s.a. To map the country of Afghanistan and they have determined that there are $3.00 trillion dollars Now at 1st they just said there was one and a half trillion dollars But upon further reflection and j.p. Morgan discovering gold they discovered all the rare earth that are in China we need those China dominates the world and. That's why we're there will never leave there's no exit strategy they never had one in the eye and I don't think they have one with Iraqis or Krag No that's correct we stopped having that when George Bush Sr invaded Iraq Persian Gulf one everything changed when the Soviet Union collapsed the Berlin Wall came down George Bush Sr was in the White House. And the most connected man ever to hold the the White House ever there is nobody more connected than this guy and he decided that a trilateral commission meeting that was held in April at the White House it was discussed that 7 nations in the Middle East were now up for grabs and we were going to take 7 nations out including their conventional military capability and we began taking him out we are now it 6 is only one left that's the prize Iran that's what I want Iran. I mean Saddam Hussein didn't have anything to do with al Qaeda there were no weapons of mass destruction we sent American men and women over there we lost thousands wifes it's it's sickening. But you have to understand George Bush Sr is no different than Jeb Bush or George Jr their political family their political machine and have George Bush or Jeb Bush got the White House instead of Trump we would be doing only very little differently in the Middle East the target always was Iran that's why I put Iran. On the map on the back of a hydra of carnage which had you know people thought what are you doing we're invading Iraq it never was about Iraq it was always about how to get it done in the region what needed to be done and then go after Iran that's right and one of us we have been able and exactly what do you think about Dick Cheney how responsible was he for all of this Dick Cheney's I would I would say he was more important in many ways than George Bush because the cooperation that he was a leader in being on the board of directors being a consultant he still is one of the leading advocates of action throughout the Middle East and in respect for Israel he's the one that discovered oil in Jordan and Israel annexed a 3rd of Jordan. A good 3040 miles into Jordan Jordanian territory and then he discovered that while he was there he found fresh water in Syria so we went for 30 or 40 miles of and it's a sham by Israel and. The board of director of Genie energy is literally the who's who of national defense here in America and there's a rot child on the board and they are. Represented Israel in this instance but the world is a very different place than than everybody imagines that's what the book corporatism . Is about it's a I worked on the book for 15 years that goes back by a Persian Gulf one it was meant to describe in some detail using very rare sources of material. The corporate empire said that all the time the ship to the United States of America still doesn't never will and that's the reason for the book I had to hone this book down from 560 pages. To $330.00 to make it. How fordable for people I have to go to a private publishing house and they're not cheap but. Almost 700 pages down to 330 was a lot more work fact I've got a 3rd another book coming out. Based on the material that was left out of the corporatism but the book is in like any other book so you know if you're going to buy this book you know I said I was going to discount it to $60.00 You sure did I did Ok Well Kathy you'll be really happy. They got Jim on there got to live say in it so you have Sorry anyways for $60.00 you're going to get a book that has absolutely nothing to do with what he's think this book be about it proves and I believe it does prove that of course I'm the author so my narcissism slips in here a little bit. But I believe that I prove that we are living with a corporate empire and national sovereignty throughout the world is gone and I've got authors that quote it's gone if you're talking about national sovereignty in the West in developing countries in the Middle East there isn't any there's no such thing as a nation state with that gentle sovereignty cept for Russia and China and it's what Eisenhower warned us about when he was leaving office precisely national nation states the nation is the people of the state is the government the people create that people are supposed to be sovereign we turn that sovereignty over unwittingly to our Congress and our Senate Senate and we expect them to act diligently in our behalf all they have in society in 45 we could argue this of fighting 13 the Federal Reserve Act. All of the sweeping powers that matter that make up people that run it are going to come back in a moment we'll continue chatting I want to get your take on the bloodshed in Iran hundreds of protesters killed there get your take on Craig's website link up and coast to coast am dot com more about tonight's guest log on to coast to coast am dot com. Do you still think that the way things are going that the global elite still want to dominate the planet and that they might succeed Well I think they didn't dominate the planet for a long time until 76 because the founding fathers decided to form a new form of government one that would be wrong they were eternal and right people have their unalienable. All of the people of the earth to cool they didn't like that so for 242 years they've been trying to get it back and we America has reached it and that the fight if we see it going on right now doesn't it still feel out of kilter golf to you there's something wrong there's a force out there that need not just once they need to capture the folds of the world but I don't think they're going to win I don't think. Get away. Jack Bruce. Shine of your love. You mean. He didn't. Move a good example. And he competed. Something right American in the in thing you. Tell me.

And welcome back George Norry when he along with Craig Hewlett His latest book is called corporatism an empire a philosophy of fascism and his website is linked up with coast to coast am dot com We'll take calls with Craig next hour Greg horrible situation in Iran protesters by protesting the price of fuel and hundreds and I think the number is much higher than what was reported they reported $200.00 I think it's probably higher gunned down by their military how long can that country sustain that kind of action when then I'll pretty much forever Iran is have got one of the largest most well trained military that spent 10 years and a full blown war with Iraq it didn't defeat Iraq but the rack to defeat Iran either . Thank you have chemical weapons they don't have biological they don't have nuclear weapons at this time but again as a nation state sovereignty and at the state level which it will be nothing more really and that is a leftist viewpoint which I don't necessarily hold all the time but that the left would describe sovereign sovereign nation that that nation owes the exclusive power to the use of force. And Iran exercises that force but you know Iran is hardly the worst nation in the region one of the other things in a recent white paper that I've had to publish to my client base because some of them travel. Was the absolute ridiculous number of beheadings upside down crucifixions outright crucifixions stonings that take place in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait I regularly races oh my God it's in the hundreds right now each year but I suspect we're only getting half the story my guess is it's far more than that but you know there's no country in the Middle East that has our kind of constitution or our ability to claim and I say claim that we're free and sovereign people we're not. We have no right to claim that other countries don't have sovereignty when we no longer are a sovereign nation state we don't take our orders are realistic orders the things that matter about the things that matter Congress is supposed to decide they're supposed to conduct foreign trade they're supposed to issue the coin and then the money of the realm Congress has abdicated its authority on almost every single thing and it still does today just passed one of the worst pieces of legislation since the late eighty's had 33 years of history the 2008 team which was passed almost Christmas day. 2017 and Trump signed it into law 2018 tax cuts and Jobs Act All you ever heard was that it was supposed to create jobs it didn't boast to create an environment of investment by businesses it didn't and what it did do is it created an absolute windfall 21 percent tax rate down from 35 percent for corporations. Now the largest corporations have had at least one full year and we're going into the 2nd full year where they will pay no income tax on remarkable amount of profit. They said Trump wouldn't sell out the country he did the 1st year. Most of the day of Christmas Day They voted that I was less than I did for this tax bill and then the media went along and promoted it that it was for you and I I that we would get tax breaks we got a little tiny little one x. Rated snippets of tax breaks they got at 20 down to 21 percent minimum income tax that's the maximum they can be charged now to the largest multinational corporations United Technologies and Amazon like a no income tax now that's why we have the largest deficits growing at 30 percent every year. Those companies alone should pay the tax and subject subsidized the working man and woman exactly if we were sovereign our representatives would vote that way but we are not in and they're not sovereign they voted away their sovereignty so they voted away their sovereignty who represents the American people and the House and Senate that would be nobody what's your take on this impeachment proceedings I think the House will vote to impeach it'll go to the Senate for trial I think it will just languish there nothing will happen but what's your take on that Craig you know I don't do current events and I could care less about Donald Trump that that everybody has got so wrong you know I am yet at the Donald Trump the narcissist Obama wasn't. George Bush Jr driving down the aircraft carrier in a flight super tending he flew the f. F. 15 that landed he was in a narcissus come on of course comes and Narcisse if you can't get elected unless you are. So let's get over the fact that the president doesn't represent anything and he can't do anything will he be impeached absolutely not game maybe in a hall and the House may hold the. So-called hearings they may sense your aim they may even impeach him the way they did Bill Clinton but they won't throw him out of office and that's not going to happen they won't they're not going to do it but they're not not going to do it because there's not evidence and or they're not not going to do it because they're Democrats and they're just doing this to get elected during an election year they're not going to not do it for the reasons you and I would rather see them not do it they're not going to do it for every president coming up and it can backfire president it could backfire on the Democrats don't you think I think it already has I think they could have handed a better victory to Donald Trump than to start yelling impeachment right thank you right whether he's guilty or not because of like I said. Same house him and Senate voted to pass the legislation that grant the largest wealthiest corporations on earth including the banks the largest banks on earth their record record profits every year now don't pay any income tax whatsoever and by the way when the press went after Netflix and Amazon for not paying income tax because their tax was reduced to 21 percent under the new tax law they just laughed and they said things like Yeah but we paid tax when we were in Italy. We paid the taxes when we were doing business in Germany helps Now I'm sure yeah those people are doing great they got taxes now the Iraqis are going to continue going after the middle class because the largest corporations are making the rules that govern everything House and Senate does and Senate have abdicated their authority to be sovereigns all over this nation and r.b.s. What's your take on China in the situation in Hong Kong. That's been brewing for a long time and I really really hope it doesn't get worse but China had the ability and the capability and I believe they have the will to do something under Chom that they would never dare do. At a cost to marry elitist from their rank in the White House if it doesn't happen in the next 2 years it won't happen China will back off all gone will go back to normal but an awful lot of people are going to jail yeah and they could get her to be at that well you know that's. That's the problem one of the quotes like I said I use different people for this book because it goes back over 15 years I was researching you were you working on the book while you were on the show was with me during all these years yeah I did and I never and I never use these quotes I never talked about these people because I was holding it back to prove that we have a corporate empire that we no longer have a nation state and you and I are no longer sovereign that's the given in this book that's the post-modern problematic the 3rd title of the book those Mo dirties problematic that's the problematic you and I aren't sovereign citizens anymore we do not have representatives that are sovereign and the corporations that are doing what they're doing throughout the world was written about by Ralph Peters constant conflict from 1997 and parameters magazine listen to what he said in 97 and I've lived with this since I put this in my book without ever mentioning it he says quote and he wouldn't use it full bird colonel there will be no peace at any given moment for the rest of our lifetimes there will be a multiple conflicts in mutating forms around the globe violent conflict will dominate the headlines but cultural and economic struggles will be steadier and ultimately more decisive the de facto role of the us armed forces will be to keep the world safe for our economy and open to our cultural assault. Do those then. Our Economy and open to our cultural assault to those then we will do a fair amount of killing. And we do when we have that's what I have been living with I and Vice Admiral Robert Mueller General William Kip Ward both said about Africa am in 2008 that Africans goal is to protecting the free flow of natural resources from Africa and the global market we're not there to create democracy we're there to see to it that pipelines in the when the roadways and the waterways and that's why we took out Libya because Gadhafi wouldn't let us go through Libya for the raw material stagnation south of Libya Gadhafi had to go every nationalistic leader that represents this people good or bad good or bad doesn't matter to go well was Saddam Hussein trying to get off the dollar for petrol Yes that's another reason he got done it and that's another reason why China and Russia and South Africa and Brazil are out talking about going to a dollar based not a dollar based economy any longer but even to OPEC is talking now that the dollar based OPEC maybe isn't going to survive either and nobody wants to be dominated by the federal reserve note because they're being dominated not by America. And in a war I did by a corporate world who is set up a system of international governing organisations the i.m.f. The World Bank Bank for International Development they created it under our plans that was developed under Kennedy then said Iraq Korea helped create it it was national security guy the strategy of inner dependence is the title of his book. But they were thinking about creating the interdependence as a form of democracy throughout the world this was usurped by the corporate world and they're using that vehicle this web of influence of international governing organizations like the w.t. Which will dictate to us companies corporations and individuals how you do business and if you can test it they'll sue you Krejci what you will about Jimmy Hoffa but the one thing he really did do was try to protect the American worker Yeah that's the other thing that's going to go by by the way fact it is going right now the unions are going the ones that are capable of surviving are u.p.s. And Fed Ex right now but that's a tell you p.s. And Fed Ex get taken over. Everybody is subject to a takeover because the new rules dictate a corporate world most people don't understand corporations don't do business that aren't tech and treated the same as individuals if you form a corporation whether it's a 100000000 or a $1000000.00 or a trillion dollars you do business under a completely different set of rules when the Federal Reserve was created which the Congress abdicated its authority to coin the money when that took place they also coincidentally. That's why Jack Metcalf hired me he didn't believe in coincidence anymore than I do did they coincidentally create the laws for foundations trust did they create the i.r.s.

The Treasury double and I have a readout as 1st thing I did when I heard I went to the levy Institute I asked them to send me a readout a printout. Every corporation and bank that received money from the United States government they received from $200000.00 to $200000000.00 basically free money I guess it's free money they just literally printed the money through the fed through the Treasury and gave it to everything that mattered throughout the world was bought and paid for that's how they bought the world to go along with our corporate leaders running the Empire and then using the Pentagon any time they need to if somebody opposes the person we put in power in the Congo we call them terrorists we kill them same with every nation throughout the world and now throughout the world the people that would most likely oppose them have been bought and paid for when did we lose when did it happen you know you've got a guy that you put on every once in a while you that clip it's a fairly good clip he says that. The elite he thinks are more dark and conspiratorial than I do but that it's not without the added undamaged just eventer a clip. When when he's arguing that these dark forces are out there and trying to create an empire he says that they won't win. Going back 30 years when I would give a lecture and start arguing that we have a corporate empire people would raise their hand they would say well they're not going to win. I said you're not listening to me. It doesn't matter whether they win it's that they'll try and in that try they will use the Pentagon and they will do like grandmothers right Ralph Peters said we will do a fair amount of killing. And they are. And they are I want to talk with you before the break about foreign bankruptcies what's happening there. Well again everybody that hates jump and want to seem and teach they're doing it for political reasons that are Democrats I'm neither a Democrat or Republican so I mean you happen to work for a Republican congressman then but you were right on the right I will I will only work for him in one sense when he hired me I said well you can have a jelly what I have to do and he said you have to do anything except exactly what you do for a living but give it to me 1st perfect and I said perfect I'll do that. But it didn't make any difference he really wasn't a Republican only a Republican could run against the Democrat in office and when he was that pragmatic so I really didn't work for a Republican I got a check from the Treasury by being an archivist and he allowed me to publish the works and write his speeches that sounded very convincing as a Republican. Well these far bankruptcies why they do why they're going up so high Ok well. Larry very simple about it I tell you what's happening.

It's Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm Steve Inskeep And I'm Rachel Martin and this morning I want to tell you about some time I spent with Joe Biden recently we met up with him in Elkader Iowa on Friday this is a little town about an hour and a half outside of Cedar Rapids and a couple 100 people had gathered into this community center to see the former vice president his tour bus is an hour late but no one inside seems to mind what kind of people show up for Joe Biden at this point of the campaign so mostly big fans I do have to say when I was just doing a rough count of this particular group probably a couple 100 folks as I mentioned less than 15 or so were under the age of 50 I got a whole lot of oh we loved you know there was this real sense of familiarity about him I heard more than once he's been around a long time and in this crowd Steve that is not a negative thing people appreciate that experience a lot of them were wearing these no malarkey stickers which is what Biden has named his bus tour which we have to say is not exactly a name that makes you think of the future but it is very Joe Biden. You see great to see so this is the bus the bus it's the marquee So we were with him on the bus this is the 3rd time the vice president has campaigned for president in Iowa he's currently polling 4th in that state behind Bernie Sanders was with mourn and Judge Biden is hoping that a recent endorsement from a former presidential candidate who did well in Iowa might help him and we are not talking about Barack Obama. Let me ask you you recently got an endorsement from your friend Senator John Kerry former Secretary of State John Kerry. There are some within your party in particular younger voters who look to. The former secretary of state and it's a warning for them for 2020 because they think about 2004 because while John Kerry came from behind to win Iowa. He. He still lost the presidential race and he was he was the stabilizing force he was the guy with the name recognition he was going to right the ship after George w. Bush who was at the time fairly unpopular. That's the liberal rap on you right now that a moderate can't beat. Look at all the point show me where the Democratic Party doesn't want to know you don't even like polls Oh I say can't trust the polls that we can't but we just just travel with me travel with me look what's happening look what's modern about my want to make sure everybody has health care I just have a different view than other people do and if you notice the vast majority of people agree with my position on health care degree with my position on education they agree with that and so the idea that there's something that I am moderate one of the things that I wish I had that label when I was running the all the times from the Senate I was a moderate because I was I was always rated as one of those liberal senators the United States Senate. But you're not nearly as progressive on on health care as other candidates because I guess what you're going to find $33.00 trillion dollars in 10 years so I'm not racetrack you are beginning to be a little more honest and. You're looking at now and saying Ok those are for Medicare for all you going to have to raise taxes on middle class you let everybody not answer that question for the longest time. So Steve I should take a moment and just describe the scene here we're both situated on this black leather bench on the bus as it is driving on the highway it's a really small space we're probably only a few inches apart from one another and when I bring up any criticism of the campaign Biden bristles and lose it in to make his point he is especially displeased with a question about his challenge with younger voters a recent Harvard poll shows him with only 18 percent of the vote between people but . The ages of 18 and 29 why do you think there's an enthusiasm gap there is an enthusiasm gap whatever you're talking about I'm talking about a brilliant guy he knew what he wanted to do he knew how to get it done you brought up the ticket so I want to ask each of. And I'm running mate and so I want to ask you about that because Senator Senator. Dole longer in the race and that leaves the debate stage for the next debate in the Democratic primary looking very white although all the people in the states will be white candidates and that is just not as you know that's not representative of the party if you are the nominee can you commit to selecting person of color to be on the ticket or have neither little tiny bit of a problem picking a person of color. Or a woman can you commit to that no I can't commit to that because I know about Vice President you have to have someone who works for you who believes exactly like you do on the strategic notion that you support the reason why the historians are. Having their closest relations really body is we trusted each other completely he was able to give me entire chunks of responsibility I didn't have to report because he knew I knew what he was thinking and you can we know right now that we cannot be but there's plenty of people of color there's plenty of women who are not who would have rather you got senators on I can think of 4 women senators off the bat that would be great vice president so I can think of some I could think of several women who are in fact the last races recently who are completely capable of space and look I'm in a situation where look at my staff I have the most diverse staff from anybody running I've always done this is what the country has to look like the administration should look like the American public. What's happening right now President Obama is in the process of being impeached. Pending. Suggested that they might call you or your son Hunter if you are subpoenaed which you comply Oh I'm not going to let you take the ball here and everybody knows that this is about this is a trumped gambit you play whenever he's in trouble he tries to find someone else to divert attention to Mr I'm. Sure you're suggesting that they would subpoena President Trump these issues will be in the Senate trial but the question is would you comply no. I will not feel what everybody is looking for here and that is to take the eye off the ball everybody knows the issue here is not what I did because no one has proof one. Scintilla of evidence that it is anything other than do my job for America as well as anybody could have done it making sure that we in fact got rid of a corrupt prosecutor who everybody including our allies. Including our allies as well as. The i.m.f. And everyone else has to go I did my job incredibly well even the people and his newest ration of testified to my character testified to my honesty saying While I didn't you know it didn't look good for Hunter Biden to be on the board even if he did nothing wrong the optics weren't good there were former White House seats of yours who tried to warn you about the potential conflicts of interest nobody warned me about it for a potential conflict of interest nobody wanted. The same time George joined the State Department official testified because he raised it you know here is he did not he used. To never heard that once. He has no band but my son and I guess that's why he said because my son was honest. That not the reason why they should have told and the fact of the matter is my son testified to did an interview saying if he looking back on it made a mistake he made a mistake over he did nothing wrong the appearance look bad and he gave folks like Rudy Giuliani any excuse to come up with a trumpery and kind of defense why they were piling to the Constitution his his words speak for them so. I know that you sat down with your family before you decided to run for president this time because I talked with your wife about it and you had a big conversation about the emotional toll that this takes every single time but especially this time this is your 3rd time running for president why do you want this. Number one. I'm not sure I'd be running to if. I think the country is at this point the vice president goes into this very long answer recounting how his grandchildren insist. Good that he ran this time then he goes back in time and lays into President Trump for calling Mexicans rapists and defending white supremacy after Charlottesville and then Joe Biden repeats a line he says a whole lot on the campaign trail that we are in a battle for the soul of this country they're looking for somebody who can actually bring the world back together and get us off this precipice looking for someone who can actually get things passed what good does it do if we cannot reach a consensus on issues relating to health care education climate change dealing with . Assault weapons I think. You mentioned earlier that his experience can be seen as a liability Rachel but you hear him there playing on it as an asset right and you know I talked to several people at that town hall I went to who said listen we just want to be Donald Trump right but that's not the entire Democratic voting bloc I mean to win this very crowded primary Biden has to build a coalition of voters not just those who want to go back to life before Donald Trump but also those who want a vision for the future and they haven't decided if Joe Biden is the guy who has that Ok thanks Rachel really fascinating it's a great video as well which you can watch this interview with Joe Biden npr dot org .

Sometime in the last 1000000 years tabby star may have swallowed a planet one of the planets moons survived the encounter though entering its own orbit around the star but the stars heat is causing the moon to evaporate that's leaving a trail of dust around the star as seen from Earth clumps of the dust pass in front of the star periodic like causing it to fade that's the scenario presented by a team of astronomers earlier this year the team was trying to explain the star's unusual flickering at times its light can drop by anywhere from about one percent to more than 20 percent but there's no pattern to the drops that means they can't be caused by the passage of a planet in front of the Star such passages would follow a regular pattern astronomers have proposed several mechanisms to explain the flickering They range from swarms of comets to structures built by an alien civilization the latest idea doesn't settle the matter but several other discoveries may want to stronger for example found a score of stars that fade and brighten erratically just as tabby star does the stars are of 2 main types suggesting there's a common cause for their flickering studies of the entire group could help astronomers find that cause.

It's Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm Rachel Martin and I'm Steve Inskeep How does intermittent fasting affect your health by intermittent fasting we mean people who fast part of the time some skip one meal a day some don't eat it all for several days per week and P.R.'s Allison Aubrey reports on a study that tracked what happens when people go hungry for 14 hours per day there are lots of trendy ways to fast some people skip multiple meals some fast a few days a week but Pam Taub a cardiologist at u.c. San Diego says there hasn't been a lot of evidence on which strategies are effective there's a lot of bogus claims out there people telling extreme versions such as to day fasts which can be dangerous Talban her collaborators decided to test a simple and much more moderate approach they asked people to restrict to their eating to a 10 hour window each day we didn't ask them to change what they ate we didn't ask them to change the number of calories that they consumed the only instruction was to stick to the 10 hours so if they ate breakfast at 8 am their last bite of food for the day would need to be eaten by 6 o'clock pm making for a pretty early dinner the participants followed this diet for 3 months and tab says she really didn't expect the results she found we saw a 3 percent reduction in their weight and a 4 percent reduction in the abdominal visceral fat so it is surprising to get these types of results especially since all the participants really did was to stop eating a few extra hours each day it turns out that by shutting off eating early the participants all of whom were overweight and at risk of diabetes ate about 8 percent fewer calories but this alone Todd says is unlikely to explain the weight loss she thinks there may be other factors at play so when you go into a fasting state typically over 10 hours of. Fasting you start to deplete the glucose stores in your body and you start to use fat as your energy source in other words rather than fueling your body on stored sugars you begin to fuel your body was stored fat This study was small Talban her collaborators have a larger and i.h. Funded study underway for now the new findings offer some preliminary evidence that a 14 hour fast can be beneficial when you're constantly giving the body calories you're constantly making your cells work says think of a few extra hours of fasting as a way of giving your metabolic organs some rest Allison Aubrey n.p.r.

If you are one of the millions of Americans who owns a rescue dog you may not know what breed your pet is since most mutts are combination Well there is a way to find out more about your dog's ancestry with a d.n.a. Testing kit although some vets say don't take the results too seriously here's N.P.R.'s Patti Niemann we're this week let's get to squeaky toy Marine recorders was told her dog Anya was a German shepherd mix and she definitely looks like a German Shepherd only she is lighter in color and much smaller whereas my girl can't give me a shake but when cordless takes Anya out for walks she sometimes hears comments that are concerning this one little boy that even said Mommy look at that lady's walk in a coyote because she is about the size of a coyote she has the same coloring other people said oh she looks like a wolf or she looks like a fox so Courtis decided to find out she went online ordered a d.n.a. Kit swapped on his mouth for saliva put it in a tube mailed it off and one week later what came back was that 88 percent of her is German Shepherd So that tells you that one parent was probably a purebred and the other parent was a mix and they identified it as the hound family so it was like Greyhound blood hound with it definitely not a Fox wolf or coyote it doesn't really make a difference what breed your dog is Dr Angela Hughes of that marriage and that assists with Mars pet care which makes a dog d.n.a.

Testing to make medical decisions about individual animals Moses says the tests are accurate in part because the f.d.a. Doesn't regulate them and just because a d.n.a. Test suggests a vulnerability to a disease she says it doesn't mean the dog will actually get it it's quite possible that you would end up doing a lot of unnecessary testing to vote for signs of disease if you have a dog who seemed perfectly healthy and not only could that be costly but it could also be invasive and potentially even harmful to your dog especially Moses says if people make treatment decisions based on misleading d.n.a. Results what I see that could possibly happen that would be really bad as people choosing to do treatments and things that would end up being around diagnosis if you're concerned about a health problem Dr John how President of the American Veterinary Medical Association says Your best bet is to talk with your vet because veterinarians are really at using all of our education experience or sensors in our knowledge truly diagnose and treat the patients that we have as well as incorporating any external information you know from our clients or from literature or other veterinarians but House says if you just want to find out more about your dog Zan cess tree a d.n.a.

It's Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm Steve Inskeep And I'm Rachel Martin good morning the next Olympics are this summer in Tokyo Russia will not be there this morning the World Anti-Doping Agency banned Russia from global sports for the next 4 years this is punishment for that country systemic and widespread athlete doping program we've got n.p.r. Sports correspondent Tom Goldman with us to talk about this decision Hi Tom good morning what more can you tell us about how the Anti-Doping Agency came to this decision well I will tell you that 12 members of the World Anti-Doping Agency or water were going to say water from now on the others a mouthful 12 members of the water executive committee unanimously agreed to these sanctions that the water president Craig Reedie described as a robust response to the latest Russian infractions and if the sanctions stand up to appeal Russia will be banned for 4 years from competing in hosting competing in and hosting prominent global sporting competitions including a lympics World Cup World Championships Paralympics Youth Olympics Games now Craig Reedie said the one executive committee has responded in the strongest possible terms and this is in fact the toughest punishment handed down in the stoping scandal which has been rolling along for about 5 years so what does this mean for Russian athletes who have come here I just have to imagine for many of them this is a lifelong dream to compete in these next upcoming Olympics. Well if they have any connection to doping this means they're out but you know this also means that you know when we say that Russia's being banned not exactly the case because Russian athletes that have no role in the scandal who are deemed clean will be able to compete under these sanctions that were approved today and this is what's happened in the past 2 Olympics remember there was a contingent like this at the Rio de Janeiro's Summer Games in 2016 and at last year's Winter Olympics in South Korea in Pyongyang Chong $168.00 Russians competed and they were supposed to be neutral although it said on the front of their uniforms Olympic athletes from Russia Oh I didn't say Russia you know they're not getting out of the Russian flag right not so neutral right so the Russian flag and anthem were banned and if you remember after the man one of the Russian men won the a lymphatic hockey competition they and their Russian fans in the stands drowned out the Olympic anthem with the band a Russian anthem it was a here's what we think of your band. And Rachel I should add that critics say that this example fires Russian attitude that the country has never admitted the widespread doping system and that the only way to achieve real culture change when it comes to doping to deter Russia is to have a complete ban on Russian athletes including the innocent one that's that's a tough one Wada and the International Olympic Committee won't go for that unwanted did not today right so what does happen next you mention an appeal Oh yeah yeah Russia has 21 days to appeal this decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport It's expected that will happen as I mentioned officials in Russia continue today to deny wrongdoing and you know so it's expected they will appeal and they may win all right n.p.r. Sports correspondent Tom Goldman on this recent decision by the World Anti-Doping Agency to ban a Russia from all global sports for the next 4 years Tom thanks we appreciate it you bet. Today a House committee takes another step toward impeaching the president of the United States the House Judiciary Committee holds a hearing today and that is one move toward a result the chairman Gerry NAVL of described an n.b.c. Will bring articles of impeachment presumably for the committee at some point later in the week N.P.R.'s congressional reporter Claudia great solace is covering this story and is in our studios Good morning good morning what exactly happens today so this will look a lot like a court trial for a lawyer is for the Democrats and Republicans on the Judiciary Committee who will offer their opening arguments in this case and they'll be able to speak up to 30 minutes each They'll be followed by Democrats and Republicans for the House Intelligence Committee who will present their findings all winter things because they were the committee that did the winning that is a fact witness is right go and go back later and so each side for the intelligence committee will have up to 45 minutes each there and Democrats are pretty confident they are presenting a solid case Jerry Nadler said if this was an actual court trial Trump would be convicted quickly let's take a listen to his comments on c.n.n. Yesterday we have a very large solid case I think the case we have is presented to a jury would be a guilty verdict in about 3 minutes flat now we should note that judiciary ranking member Republican Doug Collins said this week in the hearing should be delayed because the panel is moving too fast for too much information Democratic lawyers Republican congressional lawyers What about White House lawyers So White House lawyers have responded to the option of participating in today's hearing and for now we're not expecting to hear much from them as part of the actual proceedings this is more of the same we've heard from the White House and President Trump throughout this house process so it's not a surprise Friday marked a final deadline for the president to defend himself before the Judiciary Committee and White House counsel pats the blown a signal they won't take part and said in a letter to now Adler that the inquiry was quote completely baseless and should end now but if it doesn't supply. He quoted the president saying hurry up get it over with so we can move to a Senate trial the press or the president feels he has a Republican led chamber that will be friendlier to his cause Ok so this could be rather dramatic couldn't it because you have these relatively concise arguments rather than 12 hour hearings relatively concise arguments for each side a chance to sum up the case but we don't know what the actual charges would be against the president we don't know what the articles of impeachment would be how does the committee turn these arguments into articles of impeachment so this is laying the final crowned work for drawing up those articles we've had some hints it looks like bribery and obstruction could be part of those articles Democrats will take those presentations and they could issue those articles by week's end and we could see this historic floor vote as soon as next week and with that that will move the process from an impeachment inquiry to a trial in the Senate and already we have seen a President Trump make requests for witnesses he's looking for a very robust defense he's been very vocal about this part of the process but even in a Republican controlled chamber he'll have his work cut out for him trying to convince at least 51 senators to include a long list of witnesses such as the whistle blower or former Vice President Joe Biden and that could lead to new delays in this part of the process and just to be clear the president who has rejected participating in the Democratic controlled House is indicating he wants to play ball with the Republican controlled Senate definitely Ok Claudia thanks so much thank you N.P.R.'s Claudio result of.

Shock now I think it was why don't you believe I think it was one of the most. Just sticking up for a country and confronting what many see is these I'm just shocked. And the outpouring of support has been huge rallies like this one and a social media blitz pushing the Buddhist nationalist agenda tour companies have arranged trips to the Hague for Sujit followers to show their support but says author and former diplomat Tom meant to sue cheese trip to the Hague is about more than posturing for an upcoming election I think she genuinely believes what happened in 262017 was not genocide I think she genuinely feels a great anger at what she sees as an unfair response from the outside world I think she genuinely wants to have literally her day in court and I think she genuinely believes that there can be no one better to represent the country at this time if all. All of that is true Matthew Smith a fortified rights expects to hear the same arguments from Sujit at the Hague that he's been making for years now denying that the crime of genocide took place alleging or trying to shift attention to crimes that were perpetrated by the militants and really trying to paint a picture of a situation in which it is the state dealing with Islamic terrorist threats and that independent analyst David Matheson says will be a hard sell given the government's stonewalling in the past the fact is he's responding to this form while having wholesale dismiss the u.n.

A meal Marmol Welcome to the project's answer Joe. Thank you so much for having me on it is a delight to have you I mean this is an absolutely fantastic chapter in our newest book Center 2020 through the looking glass that we had it but then he rot given we've been inundated with the term fake news for a few years now we need to be very careful of course out front that's a fake news is in fact nothing new it's propaganda it's disinformation it's misinformation and in light of this so-called spate of fake news in our so-called post truth world that relies on alternative facts to buttress these establishment narratives you call in your chapter that this effort of the establishment now to fight fake news the very groups that are responsible for peddling it are now saying that they're going to fight it and in the process what that means is they're trying to silence alternative news and reestablish corporate news dominance so a meal Marmol talked to us about you know what led you to this research and gives you the background to write about this very significant topic right now I became interested in critical media literacy many years ago when a good friend. Sent and then I wrote my master's thesis network neutrality and the importance of protecting it because I saw that communications firms wanted to have its eyes control the internet unfortunately they succeeded to an extent and let me tell you the battle continues but censorship is something that has interested me for many years now and I am particularly keen on alternative news because oil's angles information. That you won't get in the corporate media and facts I try to stay clear of corporate media because I actually like to be informed and not missing form and so after the election I initially started seeing reports of censorship coming up on the world so. Website and as soon as I saw that happen my ears perked up and I thought Ok time to release caregiving and it's and to take a step that I think is important to look at the foundation of this whole thing that's out there the United States particularly under Obama has taken the hard anti Russians all of a sudden the Russians are everywhere and they're perpetuating horrific crimes against the world in every single place and my cited in my chapter a bunch of different purported crimes that the Russians have been guilty of one of them my favorites because it's just like so many of them absurd on its face is Russia training whales to harass Norwegian fishermen and it doesn't end there's a Washington Post article titled even one of trans favorite foods has a hidden Russia connection and a quote from the article is like so much about this current administration even trans beloved hamburgers have surprising ties to Russia or for instance camel Harris has said publicly remember bend the knee and Colin Kaepernick it was actually not I think the Russian bot started taking that over and then Clinton has claimed recently without a shred of evidence that Jill Stein and so was the governor Russian assets and the fact that public officials can get away with saying such things and that they're not mocked and have to disappear from public view for their absurdities is a sign of corporate media power if you repeat a lie over and over again the public will believe it because no alternative explanations are offered so all of this Russia bashing and conspiracy has been used to put the public into compliance did it fear and that's why the chapter with going in which he describes how you can manipulate the public by convincing them that. It's just like the Iraq weapons of mass destruction lie that was perpetrated on the public so justify going to war with that country strain so what the Democratic Party and the corporate media did after the election was to manufacture this completely farcical narrative that the Russians have colluded to trump to have an election. And this of course was the ultimate That's actually something. I think the most important thing to do is to have people understand and realize the magnitude of the conspiracy they're being asked to believe and it's only just like the talk of I'm glad you're bringing that up especially because with these so-called impeachment inquiries and hearings we've recently seen Fiona Hill resurrect the Russia gate thesis and again let's be clear there is evidence that the Kremlin or that Putin or that Russians or that Russian intel does have an interest of course in what's going on in u.s. Politics that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone there is evidence of course that we've seen some interference you know actions from Russia over the years but nowhere near by the way I want to make sure we point this out and of course e-mail you know this the United States actually has interfered scores of times in other countries elections including in Russia's back in the ninety's 1990 s. And again are there criminal elements in the prompt administration yes does trump have some shady dealings with certain Russian bankers or all of guards and or people around him Well we've seen some of that has been proven but the main thesis is that the Kremlin handed trump the election has not been proven by any metric. And the fact that Ukraine gate has now like basically picked up the baton where the Mahler report and testimony seemed to a failed is evidence that the corporate media and the corporate back Democratic Party are just going to keep flogging this horse and speaking approach in horses they're going to keep flogging it all the way through the 2020 election and I'm fearful that this may backfire spectacularly as they don't get bombshell moments like they think they're getting you said you think it's a very important thing for people to realize the magnitude of what's happening behind all of this talk a little bit about why we need to debunk that there is an organization called the incident research agency. And they did put out messaging before and after the election however as far as I know there have been no links established that prove that the Kremlin and Ira were in this together the ira did put out a total of $100000.00. But only 46000 of that was put out before the election the remainder the 64000 was asked of the election and there's a lot of again facts and figures in the chapter but one that sticks out in my mind is something put out by a consortium news that between 2015 and 17 states took longer total of $33.00 trillion posts during that same time the ira accounted 480000 I mean that's not even a drop in the bucket it's practically nonexistent but also when you look at the money spent to put it into perspective the Trump and Clinton campaign spent $81000000.00 on Facebook ads alone and overall $2400000000.00 was spent on just the presidential election alone and beyond that the irate post barely even mention the election only 11 percent of the posts were election related and even less of the only 7 percent of Facebook photos and 6 percent of tweets. Mentioned either candidate by name and then again the irate posts were absurd and ridiculous in nature this is the case even for the few that had anything to do with the election for instance there's one that I showed in an economic conference that had a bus like muscular Bernie Sanders pointing off into the distance and it was a color by numbers grass that like this is just stuff that is all nickel and just add something I had to look up because I never saw any of these myself so to continue on with what has happened with all of this Russia gate and say Russian hysteria what they've done with all of this is to harness it to silence and censor or just didn't counter which reminded us. One of the 1st big events that happened was in April 2007 seen as part of an initiative called Project out Google changed its algorithm to supposedly sites take news and surface more quote authoritative constant they've also hired 10000 of what they call quote search quality Raiders to assist in their censorship process now with Google views. Prioritising more authoritative content is actually silencing alternative media so what's happened is they're censoring the alternative press the changes they don't lamented has caused a precipitous decline in traffic for some of the most popular interested alternative sources such as Common Dreams Consortium News counterpart democracy Global Research Media Matters for America. And the World Socialist website I did one interject here very briefly that list you just rattled off I couldn't help but notice that not only are those all non corporate sources of information they're all progressive or left leaning or anti establishment and of course you mention the World Socialist Web site or in weiqi leaks which give us his raw data and information. That the corporate media want to cure rate keep out of the minds of the American public so it's it's interesting that these search quality Raiders seem to have a problem with a very particular kind of narrative that counters the top down establishment line coming through the government and through the establishment press yes that's true they're not censoring any of their corporate press it's just the alternative press and it's mostly the leftist press or the distant press those that take issue with the stablished views and I just gave an example of a few alternative news sites that's just any sampling I mean this is affecting a broad spectrum of left. Website including libertarians and some you know further on on the right so again it's not just on the left that should be noted and it's also the case then like you said we don't see these people raiding false stories in The New York Times in The Washington Post of which there are many I want to remind our listeners that you're tuned to the project Center join Pacifica Radio I'm your host Nikki Huff we are speaking with researcher Emil Marmol he is the co-author of a fantastic chapter in our new book centered 2020 Through the Looking Glass and we're going through the looking glass right now and down the rabbit hole with Alice to talk about fake news the Trojan horse for silencing alternative news and reestablishing corporate news dominance will continue our conversation with email Marmol after this brief musical break stay with us. Welcome back to the Project Censored Joe I'm your host make up on today's program and particularly in this segment we're talking about fake news of course we know that that's nothing new it's propaganda and disinformation but we're talking about it as regards the chapter of the new censored 2020 book The Trojan horse for silencing alternative news and reestablishing corporate news dominance we are joined by author and researcher Emil Marmol Emil Let's talk about what's going on on these major tech platforms because big tack and social media are now Bing going in many ways the legacy media for attention some 40 percent of Americans say that they get their news from social media of course we know that Internet giant alphabet at parent company of Google has algorithms and things that Spike sources and literally censor them so let's pick up there and continue the conversation talking more about that angle you've got all these alternative news websites putting out articles saying that error Konstanz be held back it's not showing up and starts results visitors I mean this is all come up as a direct result of the. But you don't have to take the word of these alternative news websites you don't have to take my word you could just listen to Google themselves there is the leaked internal document from Google and it is titled The good censor It's a document from inside their company. And position as a controller and some sort of online information they claim that due to Russian involvement in the 2000 election that they must censor online content they offer some other reasons to you know for instance they want to protect advertisers controversial content and increase revenues they also argue that they must censor content because the public in general. So I guess Google they want to act as our parents they want to protect us from ourselves so to speak it is clear from Google's own internal documents that they are doing and of course fake news and propaganda as disinformation is a problem but the way in which these folks are using it is like a Trojan horse who's being censored and who's doing this censoring it's Google Facebook Twitter and it's there are nerd organizations and we can get into that the partner organisations upon which they rely that have extraordinary connections not just connections to government and the establishment they are the military industrial complex they are the national security technology complex So tell us about that email I'm just going to scratch the surface here there's so much in the chapter that I cannot speak to here because strengths but let's just talk about the nature player it's one of them is the Land Council which is essentially an arm of NATO they are funded by Western governments NATO itself major weapons manufacturers international banks conservative think tanks the National Endowment for Democracy among us and on its board you will find figures with exceedingly undemocratic worldviews such as Michael Chertoff Congolese Rice Michael Hayden and I don't Albright and Henry Kissinger and for anybody who knows political issues they would know that I don't know Albright and Henry Kissinger in particular are too I mean all these people but those 2 last ones particularly are more criminals especially Henry Kissinger you know people who you don't associate with Democratic. Another couple of organizations with which the social media giants of partner or the International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute both of these are all students of the National Endowment for Democracy and eat now the any the people should know was created during the Reagan administration when the explicit purpose of spreading propaganda and interfering with the internal affairs of other countries and just continue on with the International Republican Institute on their board since Marco Rubio he has played a leading role in the u.s. Led to or at least attempted coups for now against Venice well and the former chair of Person of the r I was Senator John McCain John McCain was a politician who wanted to bomb every country he could and then for the n.d.i. The National Democratic Institute their current chairperson is not on Albright stated that the deaths of house the 1000000 Iraqi children due to u.s. Sanctions was worth it that's not a person I would trust to watch my dog so in addition to partnering with these organizations Facebook itself like Google has hired over 30000 fact checkers and these include many former intelligence and law enforcement officials as well as prosecutors who work in counterterrorism and going back to what you were saying about all of this being part of the military industrial complex and ruling elites let's look at those people who have leadership positions that what they are is an extension of state power you've gotten a Samuel glider He was Obama's National Security Council Director for cybersecurity You have Jennifer Newstead it was co-author of the us a Petri at a fundamentally undemocratic piece of policy then you've got Joel Kaplan who was the White House deputy chief of staff for policy under George w. Bush and then you've got Nick Clegg the former British deputy prime minister I had a friend read my chapter and she said Jesus and all after reading your chapter it's become abundantly clear to me that you think that there's. Rotation there are people in charge strange things working fundamentally different ways look at South and I see these same people in the Bush administration Obama administration and still pulling all the strings and again if you read the chapter you'll see how intricate all these links and how to eat they are between all these organizations and it is rather striking to see how these social media organizations and firms like Google are simply extensions of this. Which is curious because again when we talk about 1st amendment protections one of the things that critics will say about that is well that's about the government the government isn't allowed to interfere in the free press or in free speech issues but as we've showed time and again and as you're illustrating again right now these corporations these massive corporations multi-nationals they're an extension of the state very clearly. I'd like to hear a little bit more about this cyber warfare arm of u.s. Foreign policy as it is manifest through Facebook and Twitter can you talk about that a meal Yeah sure you want to mention that it's serving 2 purposes it's serving to silence domestic base descends for instance on October 11th 2008 seen more than 800 accounts were deleted from the Book and Twitter and in this purge were many organizations that were against for instance police brutality and war and criticize us domestic and foreign policy I mean these sites had I believe it was in the 10s of millions of subscribers and you are now going through the cyber warfare aspect of these organizations what they're doing is they're targeting specifically countries which the u.s. Is hostile towards So when you look at the chapter you'll see that they have censored the leaders political parties activists and media outlets of countries the u.s. Is hostile towards So this includes been a swell up Iran Palestine not only are they censoring news organizations all the stations activists out of those countries but they're also silencing alternative news sources that defend the positions of those countries so friends of full analysis telling us there is next yes they will they've already been removed right whites but what happens is there's an outcry and the social media giants have no choice it's a go back and reinstate it so this is a back and forth game the social media giants are thinking let's see what's likely is let's censor these Let's see what we can get away I've got many bullet points in the chapter that talk about specific instances of censoring and get platforming But you know it's not always the countries that the u.s. Is hostile towards that get the censorship stick one that I felt was shocking and frightening days before the Spanish general election faced by. Whatsapp shut down the channel of well then what's on the stands leftist political parties the channel had 50000 members what is that doing shutting down a channel used by a political party in Spain talking about interfering in elections exactly hypocrisy is so sick that anybody who really delved deeply into this will just I think people in a way so I mean Marvel I want to get into one of the cyber warfare arms of u.s. Foreign policy as it's manifest in an organization that we've talked about on this program and you talk about it in your chapter one of these adjunct organizations is called news guard could you talk to a little bit about how that's working because this is a perfect example of an organization that is claiming to fight fake news and claiming to and parental fashion put some controls on us for our own good because we can't think for ourselves what is news guards approach news guard I started reading about them before traveling to an academic conference critical media literacy education and when I got to the conference and saw that they were one of the vendors there I duly lost my mind that's what they're posing as an organization that's going to help shield us protect us from fake news and misinformation but looking at news guard what they're doing is they've released a web browser plug and that slides press where the news of the green icon untrustworthy sites with a red light so what you just got does for instance is they give you Leaks Russia today and press news all read ratings and I will say that meant press news is a fantastic alternative news website today even if you disagree with it it's a great news website and of course Wiki Leaks should be applauded for all that they've done to expose the machinations of Western governments and political and economic elites the biggest here's the rub what they do is they give thoughts news and Voice of America reading rate ots news and Voice of America are. Propaganda Oh lets there essentially arms of us propaganda wants news has been largely discredited by academics as not even as deserving the title of a news organization and Voice of America was created to propagate us propaganda Meanwhile the corporate media has done nothing but keep traders on this organization of course because they're eliminating competing merit. And it helps Once again soon look at who sits on advisory boards and boards of directors so let's have a look at news it includes Michael Hayden Tom Ridge and Richard Stengel Michael Hayden is the former head of the CIA and n.s.a. And Tom Ridge was the 1st director of the Department of Homeland Security you might wonder why they have red and green ratings Well it's the same thing that the Department of Homeland Security did to keep people in a complaint state of fears keep telling them oh man we're in this red baiting and we're going to tax then you've got Richard Stengel and I'd like to focus on him because it's particularly revealing that Richard Stengel is also on record of lies he is the former editor of Time magazine he worked in the Obama administration and is a distinguished fellow at the council's digital forensics lab historical more echoes of Henry Luce But at any rate please continue for Syria again particularly Illustrated is a quote made by Stengel at a public forum he says quote My old job at the State Department was when people used to call the chief propagandist job I'm not against propaganda every country does it and they have to do it to their own population and I don't necessarily think it's awful So here you have Stengel who's working for News guard claiming to be an organization that fights fake news and misinformation Meanwhile still himself has a self declared propaganda and he thinks it's Ok. Paid to disseminate propaganda on domestic populations so how does that work how do you reconcile those 2 things you can't it's just straight up hypocrisy it's what it is this is just an organization working to silence alternative. That's pretty amazing and then of course you also talk about the people who are those c.e.o. Over at news Guard you've got the co c.e.o. His name is Lewis Gordon Kravitz Provance he has an appalling record as a journalist for spreading misinformation and also you know you wrote a couple of pieces something I believe it was about the n.s.a. And the beginnings of the Internet and those have been largely debunked and criticized as just completely missing the mark and being full of misinformation so everybody at that organization is amongst the least qualified people to be defending us against fake news and misinformation and curiously a news guard gives some of these other organizations like Wiki Leaks or our team or mit brass red ratings and somehow Fox and Emmis n.b.c. And the rest get great green ratings the whole thing is like a ruse and as you say in the subtitle of the chapter it's a Trojan horse for establishment news dominance This is basically a way that they're using to prop up the manufacturers of consent so tell us a little bit more about that mill Marvel it's 2 purposes there after 1st silence the alternative silence dissent silence cutterhead demonic content the other end of the game is propping up the corporate news media and so you've got social media firms tech giants the cover media itself and the government working so you probably up the corporate media and examples of this are for instance the Google News initiative that's a partnership between Google the Financial Times Gannett The New York Times the Washington Stanford University the Pointer Institute and many other organizations it's Be $100000000.00 project. That aims to stem the tide of what these companies regard as fake news just information and misinformation and to promote trust worthy and also it's a default he's bringing not. Then you've got reports for America and Google News lab they're working in conjunction to hire more than a 1000 journalists all over the states Google's the one who's doling out most of the money for the project and again looking at the Advisory Boards were r.s.a. Reports for America do you see there you see Charles Koch Institute you see Fox News you see c.b.s. News a.b.c. News The Wall Street Journal n.p.r. Twitter and when you were times you don't see anybody from a month trying to have news website or source on that advisory board. And then Facebook's doing its own part they've set aside $90000000.00 to produce trustworthy and informative news programming in collaboration with corporate use Giants phlox news that alone is a not c.n.n. A.b.c. News and when you see on and of those Facebook is giving preferential treatment to Fox News which is the only network to have a show featured on life every day of the week so apparently books things that Fox News is so trustworthy that they need to be front and center and of course revenues will be shared amongst the participating Riddle's ations and you just recently did a show with and really Ross where you talk about Facebook has cemented even further agreements with corporate media firms to creates news so they're further solidifying those and working together to prop up the corporate media and meanwhile doing everything they can to smother alternative news so I mean we're pretty much out of time for this segment of the program but you've given us an awful lot to think about our listeners and we're very grateful for the research that you have done a meal Marmol is that ph d. Candidate at the University of Toronto Ontario Institute for Studies and education and a meal Marmol with Lee Major have a chapter in the new project centered book centered 2020 Through the Looking Glass the chapter is titled fake news that protein horse for silencing alternative views and reestablishing corporate news dominance. I encourage listeners to pay attention to the Project Censored dot org site because we'll be sharing some more of a meal's work and some updates on this research very soon a meal Marmol thank you so much for taking time out of your day to share this research with our audience Ok I'm delighted on the show like to remind listeners you're tuned to the project's answer Joel Pacifica Radio I'm your host Mickey Huff on the next segment of the program we continue our theme we'll be rejoined from a journalistic perspective Byman our my how ash of mint press news to talk about social media censorship reaching new heights as Twitter permanently bans dissent Stay with us. Welcome to the Project Censored Joe I'm your host Mickey Huff in this segment of the program we welcome back to the founder and editor in chief of mint breasts news Menar My How is she an arm or how much of course is no stranger to the Project Censored audience many of the people that work with presents news and do stellar independent journalism and had stories in the annual censored books this year's book is no different censored 20 twentieth's we also of course have an entire chapter in this year's book about today's topic fake news the Trojan horse for silencing alternative news in reestablishing or Brit news dominance in our how as you have written a lot about censorship to platforming you've covered a lot of his it meant Brezhnev News dot com and he wanted to have you on the program today just to get some updates and I know recently you've done some stellar interviews with folks that have been really following this issue very closely and again I want to make sure that listeners can go. And read your reports and look at your broadcast that you do but what I want to do welcoming you back to the show is to reintroduce some of this issue to our audience it's no open secret you're right that the deep States working hand in hand with Silicon Valley social media giants like Twitter Facebook and Google to control the flow of information and that includes suppressing censoring and sometimes outright urging dissenting voices all under the guise of fighting fake news and Russian propaganda so in our house Welcome back to the program thank you so much for having me here and it's always good to hear from you you have been consistently covering this story in fact you're one of the few journalists that's been consistently covering this story and by the way a lot of the other folks that we've had on have ended up doing reporting with mit press news about this very topic so could you tell us a little bit about what's happening in this kind of the platforming and this kind of censorship on line well as you know it's in the 2016 presidential election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump social media giants like Twitter Facebook and Google Chat basically going on a rampage purging censoring and suppressing the sun. All of the guys are fighting fake news and Russian propaganda and the most recent example was this bombshell that was released that showed that Twitter is here editorial executive for Europe the Middle East and Africa is actually an active officer in the British Army 77 or gates it's a unit on light warfare and psychological operations and so what that really means is this guy leading this arm of Twitter he specializes in the sky meeting propaganda and so it's no secret and it makes sense as to how we have need people whether it's in our government or the British government or to NATO governments are working hand how it's socially try to control the free flow of information and I did the trip. Or just in the last couple of weeks here interviewed Daniel make Adams He's the executive director of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace no secret that this organization they promote peace and then they all of us empire and General Mike Adams specifically has them an excellent excellent job bringing attention to neo cons that have basically he calls it occupy the White House and he went on Twitter to call out Fox Sean Hannity for wearing a CIA help in while doing an hour long segment calling out the CIA and he basically called him retarded on Twitter and because of that one statement he got banned from Twitter for ever he was purged was removed he was deleted off of Twitter and our I'm sorry to interrupt is that because of the language that he used but they banned him they did platform they said that he used to take full Conda because he used the term retarded but actually it just takes 2 seconds to look at all of the comments underneath President Trump's tweet to see even more hateful commentary than that and again look at him he's been on Twitter very outspoken very popular following on his page calling out neo cons calling the deep state and so I believe and he believes that that was why he was targeted and eventually removed off of Twitter and not just him as a journalist I mean his background again in journalism it's in politics he advised former presidential candidate Ron Paul you know libertarian presidential candidate Ron Paul but then we have Twitter and Facebook also working hand in hand with the Israeli government to completely delete Palestinian news pages. Just completely delete them off of those platforms Israeli Justice Minister proudly announce that Facebook abided to 95 percent of their request to Facebook to remove and delete Palestinian pages so it's very clear that these social media platforms which ones tell of them so the platforms for all ideas are welcome are now working very directly with authoritarian governments from Israel Saudi Arabia. Thinking like the needle under the Atlantic Council to the British army ship she would reach and remove just one thing. And it also sounds like there is a serious selective decision making going on among these social media giants because obviously anybody that scrolls down the Twitter feeds of people like Donald Trump or and Coulter or bin hero or Hannity or others and their followers there's no shortage of hatred going on there not to mention the clownish activity of a Sean Hannity wearing a CIA or an elf pin while doing a segment on that it is that supposed to be a nod and a wink Hannity of course the listeners of this show may know and we wrote about this no one had denying United States a distraction Hannity actually went on the campaign trail with Donald Trump around the midterm elections saying that at Fox News he wouldn't go on and campaign with anybody and then a day later Hannity was on stage campaigning with Donald Trump and he was calling out the so-called fake news in the back of the room they were in not realizing that Fox News was back there now this is amazing of course there were no punishments that went on for this but even the Fox News executives said that Hannity stepped over a line and for them that I mean I know we're setting the bar pretty low here but even for them to say that you can't have on air journalistic personalities opting on the campaign trail which Hannity does which Pirro does which clearly puts them in the light that they're rank propaganda is they're not broadcast journalists they're not anchors they're there's the nod refers to what people are putting in front of them their rank. Interestingly enough though those people are all over the airwaves and all over social media and it's interesting that those people that want to call it out and those people that want to report the things that you're reporting it meant Press News find themselves Curiously the platform to. What are your thoughts about that well they're really rules for the 100 years. That were in the interest of us Empire and the state and rule apply the kind of traitorous or dissenting voices we have people like Marco Rubio threatening Nicolas Maduro a few months ago it was like a fascination. And we had Donald Trump training entire nation with nuclear annihilation it was their politicians training others saying yes they are a lot of to say those things without any consequences and if you make it hot for me or dynamic Adams goes on Twitter or Facebook. Ocracy violence and say you know we could have an interventionist foreign policy Oh my gosh we get the platform and that that's really really scary for freedom of speech and our 1st Amendment and the normal how shipment press news that you're out of when I get had courage our listeners to go and read some of these articles here particularly there is one where you have your recent interview with Daniel McAdams It's titled social media censorship reaches new heights says Twitter permanently bans dissent so that's meant Press News dot com We've of course had our McLeod on we've had Whitney Webb on so again our listeners shouldn't be strangers to some of the great journalists that work with you over at mit press news but you've been again like I said you've been talking about this issue for quite some time of course Abby Martin has and many others the reason that we keep hitting on this at the Project Censored show and you point this out in your article is coming the broadcast the interview that you did with McAdams 39 percent of Americans and similar numbers of people in other countries get their news from Facebook that's pretty troubling but putting that aside momentarily you're right when an organization like the Atlantic Council is controlling what the world sees in their Facebook news feeds it can only be described as state censorship on a global level given the ties the Atlantic Council to NATO and even remind us of. Who's who at the Atlantic Council we've got Henry Kissinger cond Elisa Rice Colin Powell James Baker Michael Chertoff you know from the Patriot Act and Homeland Security days a lot of army generals like David Petraeus has said to Michael Hayden Leon Panetta it's a laundry list of deep state characters but you call it a rogues gallery of warmongers but it's kind of interesting that you also include in this and you know and again for people to not think that that's just some kind of screed you actually also quote Eric Schmidt and Google executive Jared Cohen in their own book they said quote what Lockheed Martin was to the 20th century that's the big defense manufacturer what Lockheed Martin was to the 20th century technology in cyber security companies like Google will be to the 21st so men are more how it's here they are basically admitting that they're going to be curating in censoring No they admit it and that's why I started out this article with it's an open secret because it's really open it's not a secret anymore and there crowd of it they come all regularly and make the statements and the Atlantic Council for example the fact that the Atlantic Council one of the most hawkish Neal conservative think tank in Washington d.c. Partnering with Facebook that should be a huge red flag for every social media consumer out there I mean it really raises the question why an organization that is largely funded by likened manufactured by apartheid Israel by an autocratic regime like Saudi Arabia and Democrats that are very much aligned with Hillary Clinton and her hawkish foreign policy world view and then again Bush era neo cons that you mentioned that should really concern news consumers and social media consumers to a point where they realize that what they're getting in their news feed is 100 percent controlled. We are seeing things in our news feed that are coming from Buzz Feed being a lot of the new liberal supported organizations like feeds like Vice News and other corporate media outlets they're able to reach millions of followers while independent and alternative media outlets who may have hundreds of thousands of followers are struggling purposely struggling by Facebook because of their algorithms directed at their struggling to reach their own followers sometimes they can only reach like a couple percentages of their followers one example of something that Facebook has cracked out of time are images of skeletal children in the Yemen and we believe that's because of Facebook's partnership with The Atlantic Council which is again largely funded by Saudi Arabia and influenced by Saudi Arabia and weapons manufacturers I mean the war in Yemen which is the world's worst humanitarian crisis is also one of the most profitable words of this era and so to show these images of children starving at the hands especially Arabia and the United States that thing of this blockade and bombardment of Yemen's agriculture food supply and just blocking all humanitarian aid and food from entering that would really reach the heart strings of people around the world but we can only access those photos I'm social media because Facebook what they've done is they've been flagging them and removing them saying that they don't need their community standards of providing a positive environment for users and I know there's for a fact because our documentary about Yemen starting population was denied as specifically for that reason we were said to message by Facebook to say that because of the images of the children it doesn't meet our standards for a positive environment yet we have politicians pushing homophobia Islamophobia venous whole via anti-Semitism promoting hate every single day and they're allowed to speak have their pages not removed from Facebook about the voice of Minnaar How is founder and editor in chief of misprints new. After this brief musical break I'm going to continue our conversation about social media censorship and online censorship with Min arm how it stay with us. Welcome back to the Project Censored show I'm your host Mickey Huff on the day's programs we revisit yet another time the topic of Internet and social media censorship my guest for this segment of the program is Menar Moore How is she was the founder and editor in chief of mit press news she is a regular speaker on responsible journalism sexism neoconservatism within the media and journalism startups and has for some time been a consistent voice speaking out against social media platform ing and online censorship and so I want to continue that conversation because we have seen not only that going on with what's taking place in Yemen and Palestine and of course again you're certainly not the only one to be on the receiving end of censorship surrounding that issue you included Electronic Intifada as Allie Abunimah right who was talking about censorship who actually called the Twitter purging of Palestinian news pages he said quote This alarming act of censorship is another indication of the complicity of major social media firms in Israel's efforts to suppress news and information about its abuses of power as Tinian writes. In our house it's unfortunate but this is something that's also taking place in the political changes but today ties in South America from Venezuela to Bolivia I know you have been following what's going on particularly in Bolivia So if you can shed some light on that topic as it relates to social media censorship here apart from social media censorship we can begin by talking about the lack of information improper information truthful information that's coming out by our corporate media right now in covering what's happening in Bolivia the media the corporate media and a lot of international human rights organizations like that of Human Rights Watch are working in step with the trumpets ministrations and smearing the democratically elected president Evo Morales calling him a strongman supporting the coup and I think calling it a coup of obviously even though it is a military coup and removing him but coming in defense and in support of the new transitional government like me is calling it the new leader and so there's no question that alternative media and independent media that's going to challenge what's happening in Bolivia and cover the massacres that the new coup government and military under the leadership of the new pro-government are committing against indigenous protesters are going to be targeted and the self declared President Jimmy Anya as she has targeted tell us or in taking tell us are off of the airwaves and this is really significant because tell us or was launched by a progressive left wing Latin American government specifically started an organized by Google Chavez represent the working class in South America to challenge the corporate media in Latin America that's owned by Latin American oligarchs who are against the progressive ideas of socialism and left who are Chavez and who tend to want us influence in. The region and so this is a really big deal because this tell us or is taken off the air that means Bolivians will be left with these corporate owned media that's not very different than American mainstream corporate media and we actually have a journalist on the ground now we partnered up with a tell us what reporter Newman's come us going on dates to actually reporter for tell us where we partnered up with her she's doing reporting for us in Bolivia live reporting to cover the massacre the reaction and the mass protests that are taking place against the coup government that our media doesn't seem to be giving any coverage to or trying to paint them as being violent and whatever the military is throwing tear gas or massacring these people are media tends to call them clashes instead of what they are which is massacres and violence conveyed by the military that is trained by the way by much of the American military establishment and this is pretty amazing I wanted to just go back briefly this the woman Janine and yes' acquired her 1000 interim president of Bolivia and again this is someone that has a very controversial history of racist comments against Bolivia's indigenous majority we see similar kind of things happening with go I don't know in Venezuela the Organization of American States has their fingerprints all over this with us backing this is kind of a return to the pre ball of Aryan revolution because this is a return to the Reagan esque policies Absolutely I mean this woman Janine I mean she's part of the you great wing Democrat social movement party and they only received 4 percent of the vote 4 percent of the vote and Washington is basically applauding her transition into the presidency and so we are witnessing the Libya cutting back into that direction where they're really standing up the people have to rise up against an imperialist agenda in the region and you mention go I don't know I don't think many people know that right. After the coup took place in Bolivia Washington attempted to overthrow Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela and that went under reported in the mainstream media but Washington's like on this reign of terror across Latin America we don't know what's going to happen next but what we're seeing in Latin America is this wave this uprising that's taking place against neo liberalism in countries like Chile in Ecuador and Colombia into the sentiment is clear that the masses are not Ok with these economic policies they're not Ok with Western imperialism and influence they want their country to be free of the shackles of imperialism but Washington is not letting go and they're not backing down and they're just making their attempts even stronger and more aggressive and that means that people just need to stay stronger and more united than ever in this cause against imperialism of course there's a serious 3 cover racism and classism that's involved with imperialism and particularly as it relates to Central and South America in nearby Brazil the right wing leader both Naro has been quoted as saying about the indigenous peoples there that this is a quote from about 20 years ago so it shows that this person didn't just cultivate these kind of ideologies as a fad but it's been a lifelong mission basically to eradicate indigenous peoples of the Amazon in a way and he basically alluded to the way that the United States eliminated the Native Americans in North America the establishment is extremely intimidated by the indigenous people of these lands because part of indigenous culture is to respect the land is to respect the land to be a part of the land and to be very community oriented and to share and to value family in those kinds of things that goes 100 percent against what the old guard the Schmidt wants for these nations they want to break up society they want to ravage the Land of these resources they want to take up the water privatized the industries and leave these t. . Pulled to be what neo liberalism is chill and work so hard with their sweat and tears while the billionaire class are profiting off of their sweat and tears and that's why these people are a threat to the establishment because they represent a working class type of ideology that represents peace that represents not interventionism and if you look at gene on me as just basically just a woman blonde version of one guy Joe in Venice clearly it's the same ideology people I think really need to be much much more alert and aware of how they're using media how they're using social media and how it uses them and film in our I know that you have written a book length about this because you talked about how you would suggest that people defend themselves against these mass disinformation campaigns the 1st and foremost things we have to become and I don't mind from the 2 party system when we look at the coverage is coming out with a peach and for example Democrats are giving us this illusion that they are the peace leftist party when they're just another extreme version of politicians that we have so we have to be colonize our minds from the 2 party system and know that we can't get our news from anything related to the Democratic Party or the Republican Party and that's why most of our corporate media and social media platforms like we just talked about they're going to be in line with either of those 2 parties so we have to be calling either mind from that thought the 2nd thing is that we have to unite on a ideological basis of peace and freedom of press freedom of speech we have to find our common ground with other people in this country the media works so hard to divide us these people are this way or that way we have to find our common ground and what's really really important for us as a people to survive and to have our voices heard and then lastly we have to organize together from a grassroots standpoint we have to be critical. Thinkers and part of that is we have to recognize our strengths as the people there are more of us than there are of them and fell asleep unite and get together and organize together then we can come up with better ways in overcoming a lot of the censorship what we've done and what I've done and I got on my soapbox and I spoke up and I been extremely loud and clear about that this is an issue that's important community more people just need to do it to not be afraid Roman army we certainly appreciate the work that you do at mit press news and the people that you work with again meant Press News dot com is the website I've been speaking with founder journalist I'm an arm of how a show about an article that she wrote around an interview that's an update on social media kinds of censorship in social media censorship reaches new heights as Twitter permanently banned dissent is the name of the article in her interview with Daniel McAdams an arm of how is thank you so much for rejoining us on the Project Censored show I am very sure that we'll be hearing from you again in the future thank you so much for having me.

This is one day Happy Friday I'm Joshua Johnson in Washington House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announces that House Democrats will begin drafting articles of impeachment against President Trump attorney general Bill Barr weighs in on protests against police and Democratic candidate Senator Connelly Harris drops out of the presidential race to some of the stories we'll be discussing today on the Friday news round up and here with us to discuss this week's top headlines are 3 of my favorite people starting with Ed O'Keefe a political correspondent with c.b.s. News and welcome back great to see you Sheryl Gay Stolberg a congressional correspondent with The New York Times. And Jeff Mason a White House correspondent with Reuters Jeff welcome great to be with you Don So let's start with impeachment and that announcement yesterday from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi she announced that the Democrats are moving ahead with drafting articles of impeachment against President Trump and the announcement was nothing if not somber I democracy is what is at stake the president leaves us no choice but to act because he is trying to corrupt once again the election for his own benefit the president has engaged in at these at Hal are undermining our national security and jeopardizing the integrity of our elections his actions defiance of the vision of that founders and the oath of office that he takes to preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the United States sadly. That with confidence and never say with allegiance to our founders and high full of love for America today I'm asking our chairmen to proceed with I think that was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi making the announcement yesterday morning now Ed O'Keefe I don't think the announcement catches anyone by surprise we pretty much knew this was going to happen but what more do we know in terms of what might be in those articles of impeachment I don't think that's quite been spelled out yet we have and I suspect people like Cheryl are going to figure out over the weekend what exactly they're debating because we expected to issue a committee to spend the weekend mulling their options but essentially we're looking at articles that would have to do with obstruction of justice bribery and then possibly things like abuse of power or obstruction of Congress and it's that bribery one that has really I think stoked a lot of interest and speculation over the last few weeks because it's like well hold on a 2nd what kind of bribery are we talking about and I think one of the things to remember and throughout this whole debate and we saw some of it in the discourse between the law professors this week the crash course in constitutional law we all got whether we liked it or not it was they're not talking about sort of the standard legal definition of bribery but the constitutional one because bribery is one of only 2 potential crimes that are specifically outlined in Article 2 Section 4 treason being the other one and what they're looking at specifically is this sort of. The idea that you get when you take private benefits or ask for private benefits and get them in return for an official act and that is what they're accused in the president of having done telling the Ukrainian leader if you look into the Bidens you will get your visit and I will release the military at least that's what they cues him up and that's one of the big points that's been made this week is that what the founders intended in terms of impeachment had to do with a constitutional violation rather than like a statutory violation of a specific crime that's on the books but Cheryl with regard to what Ed said what do we know in terms of what's going to happen this weekend and in the days to come well I think. The House Intelligence Committee actually laid out some pretty clear parameters for what might be included in articles of impeachment as Ed said we're looking at possible abuse of oath of office almost certainly obstruction of Congress because the president has stonewalled Congress in refusing to allow witnesses like Mick Mulvaney and other top officials to testify and also as Ed said bribery and we did see that debate I think one of the things that the judiciary panel will be looking at will be how expansive to be how much should they include for instance the Moller report in their drafting of articles of impeachment and we're going to see a lot of variety of opinion on this some Democrats those I think in the more moderate camp would prefer that the articles be constructed narrowly to focus on Ukraine others say that they can't ignore the Malo report because special counsel in Mahler as you remember laid out a path for Congress to investigate whether the president had obstructed justice by trying to thwart his investigation so we will see that debate over the weekend on Monday there will be a Judiciary Committee hearing in which lawyers for the intelligence committee will present their reports summing up the evidence that the intelligence committee gathered during its fact finding inquiry then we will see the committee the Judiciary Committee move on to drafting articles of impeachment and they're expecting that we will have a vote on the House floor before the Christmas recess on whether to impeach the president Jeff the president obviously has been very vocal throughout this whole process I mean he tweeted during the Intelligence Committee hearing with of out of it which he responded to in real time yesterday in response to this announcement about articles of impeachment he tweeted and this is a to tweet thread quote The Do Nothing radical left Democrats have just announced that they are going to seek to impeach me over nothing they already gave. Up on the ridiculous Muller stuff stuff in quotes so now they hang their hats on to totally appropriate in parentheses perfect phone calls with the Ukrainian president this will mean that the Beyond important and seldom used act of impeachment will be used routinely to attack future presidents that is not what our founders had in mind the good thing is that the Republicans have never been more united we will win unquote those are 2 tweets that the president sent yesterday after Nancy Pelosi s announcement I hear him in terms of saying that the founders did not intend for us to use impeachment routinely to attack presidents that is true but broader than that what do we make of the president's response Well couple things I mean he hits on a couple pieces there of his strategy the White House the strategy and the Republican strategy certainly the fact that he's underscoring the Republicans are united is key and that's 11 thing that's giving him and the White House a lot of confidence as they know that once this process of the articles of impeachment are completed and moved to the Senate for a trial once he's in the Senate he's got a friendly audience and on the Republican side which controls the body so that that is helpful to him he's also underscoring and argument the Republicans have made which is that his and his actions are not impeachable and raising questions about whether the Democrats are doing this for partisan reasons and casting sort of a shadow over that with that question but he is not in not quite as far as some of his Republicans are saying that he did something wrong but it's not impeachable he continues to say what he did was perfect that was kind of the argument that was made somewhat by Professor Jonathan Turley of the George Washington University School of Law He was one of 4 professors who gave us that constitutional law lesson this week 3 called by the Democrats Turley was called by the Republicans they spoke on Wednesday to the House Judiciary Committee in their 1st hearing about the evidence that had been brought forth. By the Intelligence Committee Here's part of what Professor Turley said about that so-called perfect phone call that President Trump had with the president of Ukraine it's not wrong because President Trump is right his call is anything but perfect it's not wrong because the House has no legitimate reason to investigate Ukrainian controversy it's not wrong because we're in an election year there is no good time for an impeachment you know it's wrong because this is not how you impeach an American prison this case is not a case of the unknowable it's a case of the peripheral we have a record of conflicts defenses that have not been fully considered and subpoenaed witness with material evidence. To impeach a president on this record would expose every future president to the same type of in coate impeachment that was George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley testifying on Wednesday and I understand Professor Turley argument that you need a stronger stack of evidence to make the American people feel comfortable about impeaching and removing a president even though there's pulled out of that says By some counts that half of Americans are ready to impeach and move so I totally get that on the other hand the administration has been stonewalling the investigation so they can't build the pile of evidence that they want so I don't know if Wednesday move the needle at all I totally take his argument but in the scheme of things I don't know whether Wednesday made a difference it literally was an academic exercise and I think it was designed to just sort of spin the wheels while they were putting the finishing touches on these plans to come up with articles of impeachment so you now have in the formal record sort of academic and legal arguments about whether or not you can proceed on this but so what you're right it did nothing to move the needle and then I think the hearing though because I think they needed to demonstrate that some sense of forward momentum and that's all it was is that Ok we have started will do this will have. Many had hoped would be a more sober and serious conversation about the outlines in the history of impeachment but broke down along pretty predictable lines and there it was and if you were someone who was really eager to hear what academics had to say about it there was your opportunity but otherwise I don't think it necessarily as you said will persuade folks who are still very evenly divided overall on whether or not this should happen you can dive into certain states or certain congressional districts to see a little more of a difference in opinion but overall across the country we're still pretty closely divided on this and certainly the rancor between Democrats and Republicans was not at all temp down during the hearing it was in some ways hotter than it was in the Intelligence Committee and Cheryl I'd like to pick up with you on that when we continue our conversation also want to. It to some of your questions about this whole process David in Plainfield Indiana e-mailed one question I have about the impeachment hearings is about who has not shown up I would love to hear a list of all the people subpoenaed that didn't show up and all the documents that were not handed over maybe show you can help us get a scope for what the Democrats want that they haven't quite gotten when we continue with Ed O'Keefe of c.b.s.

Station. This is one a I'm Joshua Johnson it's the Friday news round up with Ed O'Keefe of c.b.s. News Sheryl Gay Stolberg of the New York Times and Jeff Mason of Reuters David from Plainfield Indiana e-mailed one question I have about the impeachment hearings is about who has not shown up I would love to hear a list of all the people subpoenaed that did not show up and all the documents that were not handed over Cheryl the list is probably a little as long as a little too long to read right here but I can give you a few Mick Mulvaney the Acting White House chief of staff was subpoenaed Charles' cup a man the former deputy national security adviser who is asking courts to determine whether or not he has to testify energy secretary Rick Perry was subpoenaed to associates of Rudy Giuliani Lev Parness and Igor Freeman both of whom are under indictment right now were subpoenaed those and more than a dozen were subpoenaed and no shows and we also have some pretty significant people who were not subpoenaed notably John Bolton President Trump's former national security advisor whose lawyer has suggested that he has very relevant and interesting information to share but the House has not subpoenaed him thinking that he would just defy the subpoena as the others have and to Professor Turley is point. There are these lawsuits going on and if Nancy Pelosi wanted to she could wait and hold off the proceedings and say let's let the court resolve these questions to see whether or not we can get this information from these witnesses she is not doing that she is simply saying that we are going to move ahead we consider this obstruction of justice and our investigation will go on so that if any of these folks do come out and do testify you know they'll add to their investigation Janet back Golden is a particularly good example there because he's in addition to his attorney he has sort of hinted in various tweets to keep. Self in the conversation that he knows something he wants the calm he seems to want to say something and yet you know it's a little bit of a double edged sword both for the Democrats and the Republicans if the Democrats were to decide to wait and let that issue go through the courts then it delays impeachment which is not in their political interest Republicans on the other hand can right now say look you're speeding this process up for your own political benefit you're not waiting to hear from people but if they did wait to hear from Bolton It doesn't sound like based on what boldness suggesting they would like what they would hear well in terms of speeding up the process deal emailed Why can't the courts expedite rulings on those defined subpoena by committees this is impeachment after all it is urgent to get required testimony. I mean why aren't they speeding up somebody else's case and I think that's the argument is that it just takes a while and and these things are necessary designed to be fast tracked I think if we get to a point where some of the starts piling up on the front steps of the Supreme Court they may have to rush some kind of a decision if something is is a little more urgent but it's not what they like to do no not at all and that's the other argument the Democrats have been making as to why they're just proceeding now as they know that if they wait for the courts this could run until next summer possibly up until the election and they don't want to do that but worth noting that $974.00 in the Nixon administration it was only after the Supreme Court ordered the release of the famous 18 minutes worth of tapes that Republicans started abandoning the president in droves Republicans held tight with Nixon for a very long time and then once that evidence came out there was a rush to the exits and as we know he resigned rather than face impeachment so you know one could argue that there perhaps would be a similar moment such as that down the road I don't know I think it I think. It's hard for me to envision I'll have again sometime later after that but right it's hard for me to envision it but nonetheless the historical precedent is out there and just because they're doing this impeachment doesn't mean either of these committees is going to stop investigating intelligence and judiciary have both said they will continue investigating aspects of this even after an impeachment vote later this month so court cases could become relevant that forces the course the president's hand and potentially force the political will of either party so Jeff we know that the House Judiciary Committee is meeting basically over the weekend to prep for Monday where they'll be more hearings eventually they will vote on whether to draft articles of impeachment more than likely they will because the committee is controlled by Democrats the House will vote on articles of impeachment which will probably approve because the House is controlled by Democrats the Senate still feels like the place where impeachment goes to die. And I'm not sure what's been going on in the Senate in preparation for this whether the Democrats have a strategy for this whether they're going to ask for something short of removal like censure or something else it just doesn't feel like there's any strategy to go beyond anything but what I think a lot of Democrats would consider a slap on the wrist a rubber stamp and saying you not a boy don't you do that again I mean I can certainly say that there's a strategy on the Republican side and on the White House and side and that is to go in and try to prove that the what the president has been saying that this entire process is a sham is in fact a sham and have you call some witnesses try to distract by calling 100 Biden probably and Adam Schiff and putting on a robust case whether or not the Democrats I mean it doesn't seem to me that the Democrats are willing to go for anything less than asking for removal even though it's just super super unlikely that that would happen based on the numbers in the Senate there's one other aspect of this that we should touch on and then we're going to move on if we could we could literally talk about this for the next 3 hours but one aspect of this that I think has come up repeatedly is just the constitutional nature of this in terms of the check and balance that Congress represents on the president President Trump has said repeatedly that this should never happen to another president this is outrageous this is beyond the pale no president should ever go through that that is literally incorrect that is not what the founders intended and the idea that the president would say you can't do this to me is exactly one of the reasons why the Democrats have started leaning on him harder to say all will prove to you that we are actually a co-equal branch of government exactly and thank you for going there because this grinds my gears when you hear the argument that he makes about due process and and you know that he's not being given his chance look. There as an ever been a court ruling on whether you actually do get due process rights in an. Impeachment proceeding it's never been brought to courts to be settled he can make that argument due process may not even ultimately ever apply in an impeachment proceeding it is a political proceeding it is not a legal proceeding he has Republicans and the president are trying to take what goes on in law and order and apply it to an impeachment proceeding but that's not the case because this is a political matter set up by the Constitution the only road map you have is what's in there and whatever legal interpreter court interpretations of come from it and on this specific issue it's never happened you can make a fairness argument that's totally valid Bill Clinton did it to some effect because remember Democrats pretty much held on in the following election they'll make it over the next year Republicans will and they may have a point but this is not a court of law this is a political matter and it will be treated as such by Democrats well this will definitely set some political precedence going forward regardless of which way it goes but there is other news that we want to talk about this week but there are you do you know I'm sorry you don't don't blame me they wrote a script and the next thing in the script has to do with William Barr the attorney general he made some comments this week that got a lot of attention and several of your sentence comments about this so I want to dive into this quick because this week he said that he is skeptical that the f.b.i. Had enough information to begin that probe into whether the president's associates that now president's associates conspired with Russia in the 2016 election the inspector general of the Department of Justice initially wrote a report that set that investigation in motion attorney general Barr cast doubt on that report and the report is due out next week Jeff can you impact this a little bit in terms of what the big deal is about this report and how much of this is political versus legal serve I mean number one in terms of the political side the president and in this case his attorney general have put a lot of weight and raised a lot of expectations that this report would come out and say there. Investigation should have never been started in the 1st place and that is what apparently the attorney general is casting some doubt on in terms of the conclusions because the conclusions apparently do not say that and in many ways I think that's attorney general bar you know trying to stay good with the president and if anything has shown that he is on the president's side in many of these things which is drawing a lot of criticism for him because opponents anyway are Democrats and other critics have said you know you're not the president's personal attorney or the attorney general of the United States but at the end of the day Jeff I mean what impact what is it would it have if the and if the i.g. Report says what we think it's going to say it's not saying that about William Barr he was in the attorney general of the time Jeff Sessions was at least the 1st attorney general like what impact does it have on him well it has an impact on him and so far as it's not producing what I think he would like to have produced out of the Department of Justice and it will not give President Trump a talking point that he was looking for now there may be other things in that report that the president will like and he has already indicated that he thinks there's been some misquoting and thinks that it's going to be a blockbuster report so we have to see the rest of the results next week there's another comment that the attorney general made this week during a speech about the relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve he was speaking at the Attorney General's Award for distinguished service in policing event on Tuesday and here is the part of his speech that caused so much controversy and they have to start showing more than they do. The respect and support. That law enforcement the service and of communities don't give that support and respect they may find themselves without the police protection they need that was attorney general Barr speaking at an awards event on Tuesday Now yesterday we had Houston's police chief art us a video on our program he's the president of the major cities Chiefs Association among other things we asked him to react to the A.G.'s comments and he referred to Bill bars comments in his words as hogwash attorney general Barsh statement shows little naiveness and a little oh not being familiar with the heart of the American police officers we don't when you call not one we don't ask whether you're white black brown Jewish Muslim Christian man woman straight gay We don't ask whether you're a supporter not supporter we don't ask where your zip code and it was we don't ask to be your critic friend we ask what is the problem what is the correct were you located and we that was Houston Police Chief Art us of a to who is the president of the major cities Chiefs Association we have gotten a ton of comments on Facebook about a.g. Barres comment Aaron writes that is a terrifying comment coming from the top law enforcement official in the country what exactly does he mean by respects allowing them to do whatever they want without challenge this sounds uncomfortably like places like China contrast that with what James wrote on our Facebook page James writes currently municipalities everywhere are struggling to hire police officers because quite simply nobody wants to do the job anymore that is a result of the current societal conditions but if they don't improve then fewer and fewer people will want to be police and thus a massive shortage will occur that's what bar is saying Cheryl you covered the protests in Baltimore after Freddy Gray died in police custody you've covered a number of cases in terms of law enforcement police brutality What do you make of the attorney general's comments. Well 1st of all it was very clear that he was directing his comments to minority communities specifically black communities like Baltimore and in those comments I think he completely ignores the important history that his own Justice Department has documented and that is a history of abusive behavior brutal behavior on the part of police in minority communities like Baltimore like Ferguson I spent a lot of time in those communities talking to people I can tell you that people in those communities want a police presence they but they want the right kind of police presence they want foot patrols not officers in cars running out of their cars to run down drug suspects like Freddie Gray they want officers who understand the nature of their communities and I think that I think they were it was a very unfortunate comments by Bill Barr as we heard offensive not only to minority communities but also to police chiefs themselves although from a policy perspective Cheryl it's not terribly different than what we heard from Jeff Sessions he was very well that law enforcement adamantly talking Well that's true but if we go back to President Obama and his Justice Department there Justice Department was very aggressive in going after civil rights violations by police that unit has pretty much been decimated under the trumpet ministration and I would add one other thing the attorney general was suggesting in a way that police would quote unquote stand down if communities did not respect them and that is something that we saw happen after Freddie Gray there was a great controversy over whether or not police were backing down because there had been an uprising in which some officers were attacked and injured the police chief there said very strongly that police were not standing down I don't think that that is what the chief law enforcement officer of the United States wants to really encourage. In duly sworn police officers and there was another story related to crime and law enforcement this week that had to do with federal executions more than a dozen states asked the supreme court to resume federal executions and that came a day after the trumpet ministration asked justices to let the federal government carry out for death sentences what is this about and how does this factor into what the current makeup of the Supreme Court well it's one of those issues that's been sort of percolating through the years is one that could be revisited under more favorable ideological conditions and so that's clearly what they're trying to do here and I as I recall executions could resume as soon as Monday I believe at least could be a federal execution as soon as Monday this coming Monday right so you know this is one of those that now with the current makeup of the court like the gun control issue that was debated by the court earlier this week like possible abortion ruling cases abortion rights cases that many believe could potentially you know be considered differently now that you know as a conservative majority on the court Jeff does this feel like an election year kind of a thing where the administration is talking more law enforcement as an appeal to its base I hesitate to say that simply because this as I said surely feels kind of consistent policy wise with what the administration has always said yeah it's a good question I mean certainly President Trump has tried to emphasize his law enforcement themes and that those are popular with the base attorney general Barr has made a push on the death penalty since coming back I don't know if that is a rallying cry for Republicans per se or for people who support President Trump certainly a controversial issue in this country but he's putting up as his on it and wanted to show some progress I think it is a rallying cry for the president the president has talked about executing drug dealers that who he has talked to the. He said to police officers don't be so nice when you go into these communities you know basically saying rough them up a little bit he's a law and order guy and that appeals to the base it's red meat for the base We'll get back to the round up in just a moment there was a new report on climate change the directly affects parts of the u.s.

News Sheryl Gay Stolberg of the New York Times and Jeff Mason of Reuters We'll get back to our panel in a minute but for just a minute let's get out of the beltway and head down to the Florida Keys not just because it's warm there and it's cold here but because there was a new report that came out about rising sea levels and the amount of money that it would take to keep the region dry Joining us now to discuss it is w l r N's Nancy Klinger who covers Key West and has covered it for some time Nancy welcome to the program thanks for having me Joshua give us a sense of what this report shows what's the most dire aspect of it for folks in the Keys I guess the dire aspect of it is just what it would cost to keep all of our roads dry with the sea level rise that's projected and whether that cost is worth it if you're only paving a road that reaches you know a couple dozen homes give us a sense for those who haven't been to the Florida Keys of exactly what these roads are like basically when you drive down to the keys you're taking us one and it kind of leads you all the way down the island chain from Key Largo through Iowa Marotta to marathon all the way down to Key West right that's right and that road Us One is obviously going to be kept viable for his long as possible but the people live most people live on the islands off us one and there are smaller lower roads that lead to their homes a lot of those homes are elevated up on stilts because of flooding but keeping the roads dry is important because you need to be able to reach your home how much work has been done up to now in terms of dealing with sea level rise in the Keys Well they've started building new public buildings like new fire stations much higher for flood projections so you know we've we've known for quite a while that this is coming and nobody who lives in the Florida Keys and sees sunny day flooding is really in denial about. I meant change but what was really eye opening was the cost projection for elevating some of these roads they did a test case of a road on sugar key and they found that to keep it dry from the king tides the very high tides we get in the fall just 55 years from now could cost $25000000.00 a mile and for the flooding expected in 2060 that would be 60000000 dollars a mile and that's a lot for you know a neighborhood of 30 homes and by the way we should be clear when you go on either side of us one if you're not like traveling over water the neighborhoods on either side sometimes are just a few blocks like you could be 23 blocks that juts out from us one and then it goes right back to narrowing That's right and they're quite rural in most places now Florida Governor Rick Scott now senator told scientists during his term not to use the terms global warming and climate change in states documents that got a tremendous amount of pushback. What's the mentality of Florida's government in terms of dealing with this I imagine if the state is not interested in working with the federal government then this feels really rather hopeless Yeah we've seen a real turnaround on that with the new governor Rhonda Santos He's appointed a chief science officer and a chief resilience officer and both of them appeared at this climate summit in Key West this week and you know definitely are acknowledging that change is coming and that we have to deal with it what will we lose if we lost key west talk about what it is that makes that place special to people who live there well Key West is actually among the higher spots along the Keys that's why it was one of the 1st to be settled you know I mean the original settlers were on the higher ground so. But the keys as a whole I mean it's just a really beautiful and a lot of the time tranquil island community you have Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico on one side the Atlantic Ocean on the other so every day we get both gorgeous sunrises and sunsets we have an amazing environment we have 2 national parks a living coral reef and really wonderful communities with lots of interesting people doing interesting things before I let you go Nancy I remember from every hurricane that I ever covered in South Florida as a South Florida native that the one group of people you could count on to not to evacuate or 3 people in the Keys there you know we've ridden them out before we're going to ride it out again and they do and they make it all the way through what about now is this beginning to change the way people think about riding it out if climate change is going to dramatically change their home well I think some of our recent experience with hurricanes like Irma and Wilma back in 2005 have changed that to some extent but there is definitely a resilient attitude among islanders of survival and figuring out how to make that happen I mean people lived here before there was a road before there was a pipeline bringing fresh water and I think there's ideas about how to make that happen again be more resilient. That's w r N's Nancy Klinger who covers the Florida Keys Nancy thanks for talking to us thank you let's bring it back to the panel with Cheryl and Jeff by the way did you know that there are direct flights Washington to Key West oh you know oh you knew Ok now I want to visit Oh yes so you've already kind of planned your post 20 twentieth's Kay Well it's not the list it's actually definitely on the lot of Brando's Mary on point something you know but 1st we got to get through the election but one person who is not going to be making a deeper into the election cycle is Senator Kamel a Harris she launched her campaign what they're calling good segue that's what she launched her campaign with a rally in Oakland before more than 20000 people and now less than a year later she's dropped out of the running this week Jeff what do you think were the big factors that forced Kamel Harris out well the biggest factor apparently appears to be money she just wasn't getting enough and she wasn't fundraising enough to stay viable mean she was had already qualified for the next debate in December the Democratic debate so it it seemed a little bit surprising the timing that she would she would pull out when there are you know other Democratic candidates who have not qualified but she said in her announcement that she couldn't in good faith go forward and telling her supporters that she had a pathway when she didn't see one herself and that had a lot to do with money in terms of why she wasn't making that money mean she made some mistakes during her campaign and one of them certainly had to do with health care there seemed also to be a little bit of a backfire after that moment that she had with Vice President Biden about race and and apparently some perhaps some infighting in the campaign as well sheryl you know I was going to say there's a core reason why she wasn't raising that money and that is that she seemed not to have a clear idea of what her policies were and why she was running and she kind of did some flip flops but more important as Jeff just raised there were a lot of internal difficulties within her campaign and there was a lot of tension a lot of controversy my. Colleagues Jonathan Martin and others wrote a very explosive story a few days before she withdrew detailing the resignation of one of her top canned pain staffers who said that you know basically the campaign wasn't disarray that 90 days before Iowa they didn't have a clear idea of what they were doing we had people on the record a congresswoman on the record saying that she thought the campaign manager needed to be fired Kamel Harris had put her sister in charge of the campaign and so there were just all these internal difficulties and I think the bottom line is if you can't run your own campaign you really can't be president worth noting though and with the with the departure of Tom The Harris the Democratic pool gets a little more white Yes it does. Cory Booker yesterday and earlier this week in Iowa actually few times pointed out that the party now runs the risk of having more billionaires than black people in the race notable comments from Mike Bloomberg on Friday morning to Gayle King on c.b.s. When he was asked about this and he said look. Diversity obviously a big concern but diversity for diversity sake in this race isn't necessarily worth it if the voters are not accepting those candidates they got in they started their campaign before whatever reason voters aren't they're not resonating with voters so why change the party rules if they're not resonating is essentially his argument maybe didn't give it isn't is artfully as he could have but he makes a point which is this is a marketplace of ideas and for whatever reason they haven't been able to sustain themselves to things and Harris is ruling regarding timing it was money but it was also timing Friday is the deadline to appear on the ballot in California and her team decided that I mean all these problems it be a little weird to be on the ballot in California and then have potentially have to remove your name from the ballot it would expose her as vulnerable to a potential challenge when she's up for reelection to the Senate in 2022 she survives the other is impeachment if she had to sit in Washington for more than 2 weeks in January for an impeachment trial any momentum she. Was hoping to have an Iowa would be lost and so now impeachment is essentially. You know victimized at least one member of the Democratic field with regards to the front runner of the presumptive front runner Joe Biden he had a heated exchange yesterday with a voter who kind of squared off with him in Iowa the voter was questioning his son Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine with oil company barista and it got pretty tense Here's a clip with Trump has been messing around in the Ukraine over there but you were on the other hand thank your center for their good jab and never for gas company that you had no experience of I think method in order to get access. For the rest. Of their water it's good to know what it is and then. I go on you see how do you know why do you want to do this where I was it. Was part of the exchange between Joe Biden and a voter at a campaign event in Iowa. Jeff this is one of the 1st times that Joe Biden is actually like even a full throated defense of his son but set that aside for a 2nd when Joe Biden called that voter a damn liar with his assumption about Hunter Biden what actually is the story with Hunter by 1st of all I think a rich kid getting a job that he's not qualified for that is not new that's that's kind of the American way in some places well I'm not really a rich kid Well you know and rightly but what is the real deal with hunter like well if you think if you different things to unpack there. Hunter Biden had a job at a Ukrainian energy company and it has come under a great deal of scrutiny because and he has even conceded really in one of his interviews that he probably got it because of his last name so Republicans have focused on that. A great in agreement with a lot of attention during this impeachment process that has put some pressure on Joe Biden's campaign but there has been no evidence of wrongdoing one of the reasons Republicans have raised questions about it is because while Vice President Biden was in office he was sort of the point person on Ukraine and so they're drawing some connections there that perhaps. Something shady was going on no evidence to suggest that nothing has been proven about that and Biden as we saw in that clip gets hot about his son and I it's actually it's I don't think it is the 1st time that he has robustly defended his son it is however a sign that if this keeps coming up which it on doubt it Lee will certainly if he gets the nomination President Trump is going to bring it up on the debate stage the vice president's going to have to be ready for it Catherine emailed I was disappointed to hear that Kamel Harris was dropping out of the Democratic race for president I found her to be a strong moderate candidate with good leadership style I was also heartened by the fact that she is a person of color as well as a woman and I felt that she would be a valuable candidate I'm Joshua Johnson You're listening to one and a few more stories we should get to in the time we have left including Sheryl about . Congressman Duncan Hunter Republican from California he pled guilty to a felony this week Duncan Hunter was one of the early supporters of Donald Trump in his campaign but this felony is kind of a big and not exactly a fall from grace but it's been a a quite a saga over the last few months yeah it's a big deal he was accused and pleaded guilty to one count involving a scheme in which he and his wife who by the way was going to testify against him diverted $250000.00 from their campaign account to their personal use when Hunter was indicted over the summer he was stripped of all his committee assignments in the house and now that he has pleaded guilty to just one count the House Ethics Committee told him yesterday that he needs to refrain from voting so frankly I'm not sure what there is left for Duncan Hunter to do we know that Kevin McCarthy the Republican leader spoke to Hunter yesterday and McCarthy told reporters that some kind of statement would be forthcoming from Hunter but as of now he remains a congressman without the ability to vote and without the ability to serve on committees but he hasn't said he's resigned he hasn't said he's resigning so you know I don't know how long you can hang on it one more story from the administration that affects hundreds of thousands of people on food stamps this program snap is the official name of the program what's the change and why is the administration making Yeah so Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and in essence what they're trying to do is eliminate the benefits for about $688000.00 adults by making it more difficult for states and is reading here because it's easier to do it that way the way requirement that adults without children work at least 20 hours a week or lose their benefits this is been a longstanding push by mostly Republicans to tighten up the rules in a bid to save money and make the program more efficient Congress last year in the farm bill kept this kind this proposed stricter requirement out of the farm. And food bill but there was language in it that said if the White House wants to go down this road on its own go right ahead and so they're doing that but they will likely face legal challenges for doing it could save several $1000000.00 over the course of it but again likely be challenged in court and arguments have been made this week this is unfair to some of the neediest people in the country one last story before we go because this was a busy week for politics for sure and next week will be the same but it was a really good week for many pop culture fans a viral video features a song about a character in The Man Delorean a new Star Wars series on the streaming service Disney plus in its 1st episode the man to Laurie and a bounty hunter makes a moral decision to not turn over the biggest catch of his career a child that looks like a baby Yoda thanks to fans of the show and fans of adorable big eyed babies in general baby Yoda is now in a skate of all fans of the Broadway hit Hamilton will recall the song Dear Theodosia near the end of Act One moment dear theater that song became the viral parody dear baby Yoda and it is equally adorable will play it for in a 2nd now the character's popularity may have caught Disney by surprise it has no plans to release baby Yoda toys until spring at the earliest and in the meantime fans are making their own merge but Disney is celebrating another Star Wars milestone the opening of a new attraction called Rise of the resistance the early reviews are overwhelmingly positive for what the company calls its most high tech ride ever baby Doda baby and I hate to say it but rise of the resistance kind of sounds like Washington d.c. . But so you've written it you know what baby you know it is so cute it is adorable if you've not seen you know I'm a mom I just wanna cuddle baby Yoda I agree with you completely Sheryl Gay Stolberg of the New York Times thanks for joining us thanks Joshua Jeff Mason of Reuters thanks Jeff thank you Joshua and Ed O'Keefe of c.b.s.

News and welcome back great to see you Sheryl Gay Stolberg a congressional correspondent with The New York Times Joshua and Jeff Mason a White House correspondent with Reuters Jeff welcome great to be with you John we would love to hear from you my absolute favorite person is you of course because you send in questions and thoughts about this week's news so keep it up email us one day at. Org comment on our Facebook page or tweet us at one a so let's start with impeachment and that announcement yesterday from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi she announced that the Democrats are moving ahead with drafting articles of impeachment against President Trump and the announcement was nothing if not somber. Is steak the president leads us no choice but to act because he is trying to corrupt want to get the election for his own benefit the president has engaged in a decent Hal are undermining our national security and jeopardizing the integrity of our life since his actions in defiance of the vision of that founders and the office that he takes to preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the United States sadly. That was confidence and you never say with allegiance to our founders and high full of love for America today I'm asking I mean to besiege with I mean peach That was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi making the announcement yesterday morning now Ed O'Keefe I don't think the announcement catches anyone by surprise we pretty much knew this was going to happen but what more do we know in terms of what might be in those articles of impeachment I don't think that's quite been spelled out yet we have and I suspect people like Cheryl are going to figure out over the weekend what exactly they're debating because we expected to give money to spend the weekend mulling their options but essentially we're looking at articles that would have to do with obstruction of justice bribery and then possibly things like abuse of power or obstruction of Congress and it's that bribery one that has really I think stoked a lot of interest and speculation over the last few weeks because it's like whoa hold out a 2nd what kind of bribery are we talking about and I think one of the things to remember and throughout this whole debate and we saw some of it in the discourse between the law professors this week the crash course in constitutional law we all got whether we liked it or not it was they're not talking about sort of the standard legal definition of bribery but the constitutional one because bribery is one of only 2 potential crimes that are specifically outlined in Article 2 Section 4 trees of being the other one and what they're looking at specifically is this sort of. The idea that you know when you take private benefits or ask for private benefits and get them in return for an official act and that is what they're accusing the president of having done telling the Ukrainian leader if you look into the Bidens you will get your visit and I will release the military at least that's what they cues him up and that's one of the big points that's been made this week is that what the founders intended in terms of impeachment had to do with a constitutional violation rather than like a statutory violation of a specific crime that's on the books but Cheryl with regard to what Ed said what do we know in terms of what's going to happen this weekend and in the days to come well I thought. The House Intelligence Committee actually laid out some pretty clear parameters for what might be included in articles of impeachment as Ed said we're looking at possible abuse of oath of office almost certainly obstruction of Congress because the president has stonewalled Congress in refusing to allow witnesses like Mick Mulvaney and other top officials to testify and also as Ed said bribery and we did see that debate I think one of the things that the judiciary panel will be looking at will be how expansive to be how much should they include for instance the Moller report in their drafting of articles of impeachment and we're going to see a lot of variety of opinion on this some Democrats those I think in the more moderate camp would prefer that the articles be constructed narrowly to focus on Ukraine others say that they can't ignore the Moller report because special counsel Moller as you remember laid out a path for Congress to investigate whether the president had obstructed justice by trying to thwart his investigation so we will see that debate over the weekend on Monday there will be a Judiciary Committee hearing in which lawyers for the intelligence committee will present their reports summing up the evidence that the intelligence committee gathered during its fact finding inquiry then we will see the committee the Judiciary Committee move on to drafting articles of impeachment and they are expecting that we will have a vote on the House floor before the Christmas recess on whether to impeach the president Jeff the president obviously has been very vocal throughout this whole process and tweeted during the Intelligence Committee hearing with out of it which he responded to in real time yesterday in response to this announcement about articles of impeachment he tweeted and this is a to tweet thread quote The Do Nothing radical left Democrats have just announced that they are going to seek to impeach me over nothing they already gay. Up on the ridiculous Muller's stuff stuff in quotes so now they hang their hats on to totally appropriate in parentheses perfect phone calls with the Ukrainian president this will mean that the Beyond important and seldom used act of impeachment will be used routinely to attack future presidents that is not what our founders had in mind the good thing is that the Republicans have never been more united we will win unquote those are 2 tweets that the president sent yesterday after Nancy Pelosi announcement I hear him in terms of saying that the founders did not intend for us to use impeachment routinely to attack presidents that is true but broader than that what do we make of the president's response Well couple things I mean he hits on a couple pieces there of his strategy the White House the strategy and the Republican strategy certainly the fact that he's underscoring the Republicans are united is key and that's 11 thing that's giving him and the White House a lot of confidence because they know that once this process if the articles of impeachment are completed and moved to the Senate for a trial once he's in the Senate he's got a friendly audience and on the Republican side which controls the body so that that is helpful to him he's also underscoring and argument the Republicans have made which is that his and his actions are not impeachable and raising questions about whether the Democrats are doing this for partisan reasons and casting sort of a shadow over that with that question but he is not in not quite as far as some of his Republicans are saying that he did something wrong but it's not impeachable he continues to say what he did was perfect that was kind of the argument that was made somewhat by Professor Jonathan Turley of the George Washington University School of Law He was one of 4 professors who gave us that constitutional law lesson this week 3 called by the Democrats Turley was called by the Republicans they spoke on Wednesday to the House Judiciary Committee in their 1st hearing about the evidence that had been brought for. By the Intelligence Committee Here's part of what President Turley said about Professor Turley said about that so-called perfect phone call that President Trump had with the president of Ukraine it's not wrong because President Trump is right is call is anything but perfect it's not wrong because the House has no legitimate reason to investigate Ukrainian controversy it's not wrong because we're in an election year there is no good time for an impeachment No it's wrong because this is not how you impeach an American president this case is. Not a case of the unknowable it's a case of the peripheral we have a record of conflicts defenses that have not been fully considered and subpoenaed witness with material evidence to impeach a president on this record would expose every future president to the same type of in coate impeachment that was George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley testifying on Wednesday Ed I understand Professor Turley argument that you need a stronger stack of evidence to make the American people feel comfortable about impeaching and removing a president even though there's pulled out of that says By some counts that half of Americans are ready to impeach him move so I totally get them on the other hand the administration has been stonewalling the investigation so they can't build the pile of evidence that they want so I don't know if Wednesday move the needle at all I totally take his argument but it is the scheme of things I don't know whether Wednesday made a difference it literally was an academic exercise and I think it was designed to just sort of spin the wheels while they were putting the finishing touches on these plans to come up with articles of impeachment so you now have in the formal record sort of academic and legal arguments about whether or not you can proceed on this but so what you're right it did nothing to move the needle and then I think the hearing though because I think they needed to demonstrate that some sense of forward momentum and that's all it was is that Ok we have started will do this will have. Many had hoped would be a more sober and serious conversation about the outlines in the history of impeachment but broke down along pretty predictable lines and there it was and if you were someone who was really eager to hear what academics had to say about it there was your opportunity but otherwise I don't think it necessarily as you said will persuade folks who are still very evenly divided overall on whether or not this should happen you can dive into certain states or certain congressional districts to see a little more of a difference in opinion but overall across the country we're still pretty closely divide. On this and certainly the rancor between Democrats and Republicans was not at all tamp down during the hearing it was in some ways harder than it was in the Intelligence Committee and Cheryl I'd like to pick up with you on that when we continue our conversation also want to get to some of your questions about this whole process David in Plainfield Indiana e-mailed one question I have about the impeachment hearings is about who has not shown up I would love to hear a list of all the people subpoenaed that didn't show up and all the documents that were not handed over maybe you can help us get a scope for what the Democrats want that they haven't quite gotten when we continue with Ed O'Keefe of c.b.s.

This is one essay I'm Joshua Johnson it's the Friday news round up with Ed O'Keefe of c.b.s. News Sheryl Gay Stolberg of the New York Times and Jeff Mason of Reuters we welcome your questions and thoughts about the week's top stories so comment on our Facebook page tweet us at one a or e-mail one a at a m u dot org David from playing field in the Emmy emailed one question I have about the impeachment hearings is about who has not shown up I would love to hear a list of all the people subpoenaed that did not show up and all the documents that were not handed over Cheryl the list is probably long it's a little too long to read right here but I can give you a few Mick Mulvaney the Acting White House chief of staff was subpoenaed Charles come from in the former deputy national security adviser who is asking courts to determine whether or not he has to testify energy secretary Rick Perry was subpoenaed to associates of Rudy Giuliani left Parness and Igor Freeman both of whom are under indictment right now were subpoenaed those and more than a dozen were subpoenaed and no shows and we also have some pretty significant people who were not subpoenaed notably John Bolton President Trump's former national security advisor whose lawyer has suggested that he has very relevant and interesting information to share but the House has not subpoenaed him thinking that he would just defy the subpoena as the others have and to Professor Turley's point. There are these lawsuits going on and if Nancy Pelosi wanted to she could wait and hold off the proceedings and say let's let the court resolve these questions to see whether or not we can get this information from these witnesses she is not doing that she is simply saying that we are going to move ahead we consider this obstruction of justice and our investigation will go on so that if any of these folks do come out and do testify you know they'll add to their. Investigation Janet that Bolton is a particularly good example there because he's in addition to his attorney he has sort of hinted in various tweets to keep himself in the conversation that he knows something he wants to calm and he seems to want to say something and yet you know it's a little bit of a double edged sword both for the Democrats and the Republicans if the Democrats were to decide to wait and let that issue go through the courts then it delays impeachment which is not in their political interest Republicans on the other hand can right now say look you're speeding this process up for your own political benefit you're not waiting to hear from people but if they did wait to hear from Bolton It doesn't sound like based on what boldness suggesting they would like what they would hear well in terms of speeding up the process and deal emailed Why can't the courts expedite rulings on those to find subpoena by committees this is impeachment after all it is urgent to get required testimony I mean why aren't they speeding up somebody else's case and I think that's the argument is that it just takes a while and and these things aren't necessary designed to be fast tracked I think if we get to a point where some of the starts piling up on the front steps of the Supreme Court they may have to rush some kind of a decision if something is is a little more urgent but it's not what they like to do no not at all and that's the other argument that Democrats have been making as to why they're just proceeding now as they know that if they wait for the courts this could run until next summer possibly up until the election and they don't want to do that but worth noting that 900 $74.00 in the next an administration it was only after the Supreme Court ordered the release of the famous 18 minutes worth of tapes that Republicans started abandoning the president and Republicans held tight with Nixon for a very long time and then once that evidence came out there was a rush to the exits and as we know he resigned rather than face impeachment so you know one could argue that there perhaps would be a similar moments. Such as that down the road I don't know I think it I think. It's hard for me to envision all of again sometime later and then but right it's hard for me to envision it but nonetheless the historical precedent is out there and just because they're doing this impeachment doesn't mean either of these committees is going to stop investigating intelligence and judiciary both said they will continue investigating aspects of this even after an impeachment vote later this month so court cases could become relevant that force is the force the president's hand and potentially force the political will of either party so Jeff we know that the House Judiciary Committee is meeting basically over the weekend to prep for Monday where they'll be more hearings eventually they will vote on whether to draft articles of impeachment more than likely they will because the committee is controlled by Democrats the House will vote on articles of impeachment which will probably approve because the House is controlled by Democrats the Senate still feels like the place where impeachment goes to die and I'm not sure what's been going on in the Senate in preparation for this whether the Democrats have a strategy for this whether they're going to ask for something short of removal like censure or something it just doesn't feel like there's any strategy to go beyond anything but what I think a lot of Democrats would consider a slap on the wrist a rubber stamp and saying you know already boy don't you do that again I mean I can certainly say that there's a strategy on the Republican side and on the White House and side and that is to go in and try to prove that the what the president has been saying that this entire process is a sham is in fact a sham and have cost him witnesses try to distract by calling 100 Biden probably and Adam Schiff and putting on a robust case whether or not the Democrats I mean it doesn't seem to me that the Democrats are willing to go for anything less than asking for removal even though it's just super super unlikely that that would happen based on the numbers in the Senate there's one other aspect of this that we should touch on and then we're going to move on if we could we could literally talk about this for the next 3 hours. But one aspect of this add that I think has come up repeatedly is just the constitutional nature of this in terms of the check and balance that Congress represents on the president President Trump has said repeatedly that this should never happen to another president this is outrageous this is beyond the pale no president should ever go through that that is literally incorrect that is not what the founders intended and the idea that the president would say you can't do this to me is exactly one of the reasons why the Democrats have started leaning on him harder to say oh we'll prove to you that we are actually a co-equal branch of government exactly and thank you for going there because this grinds my gears when you hear the argument that he makes about due process and and you know that he's not being given his chance look. There hasn't ever been a court ruling on whether you actually do get due process rights in an impeachment proceeding it's never been brought to courts to be settled he can make the argument due process may not even ultimately ever apply in an impeachment proceeding it is a political preceeding it is not a legal proceeding he has Republicans and the president are trying to take what goes on on Law and Order and apply it to an impeachment proceeding but that's not the case because this is a political matter set up by the Constitution the only road map you have is what's in there and whatever legal interpret your court interpretations of come from it and on this specific issue it's never happened you can make a fairness argument that's totally valid Bill Clinton did it to some effect because remember Democrats pretty much held on the following election they'll make it over the next year Republicans will and they may have a point but this is not a court of law this is a political matter and it will be treated as such by Democrats well this will definitely set some political precedence going forward regardless of which way it goes but there is other news that we want to talk about this week but there are you do you know I'm sorry I don't don't blame me they wrote a script and the next thing in the script has to do with William Barr the attorney . Journal he made some comments this week that got a lot of attention and several of you have sent us comments about this so I want to dive into this quick because this week he said that he is skeptical that the f.b.i. Had enough information to begin that probe into whether the president's associates the now president's associates conspired with Russia in the 2016 election the inspector general of the Department of Justice initially wrote a report that set that investigation in motion attorney general Barr cast doubt on that report and the report is due out next week Jeff can you impact this a little bit in terms of what the big deal is about this report and how much of this is political versus legal service I mean number one in terms of the political side the president and in this case his attorney general have put a lot of weight and raised a lot of expectations that this report would come out and say the Russian best again should have never been started in the 1st place and that is what apparently the attorney general is casting some doubt on in terms of the conclusions because the conclusions apparently do not say that and in many ways I think that's attorney general bar you know trying to stay good with the president and if anything William Barr has shown that he is on the president's side in many of these things which has drawn a lot of criticism for him because opponents anyway are Democrats and other critics have said you know you're not the president's personal attorney or the attorney general of the United States but at the end of the day Jeff I mean what impact was it would it have if the if the i.g. Report says what we think it's going to say it's not saying that about William Barr he was in the attorney general of the time Jeff Sessions was always the 1st attorney general like what impact does that have on him well it has an impact on him and so far as it's not producing what I think he would like to have produced out of the Department of Justice and it will not give President Trump a talking point that he was looking for now there may be other things in that report that the president will like and he has already indicated that he thinks there's been some misquoting. And thinks that it's going to be a blockbuster report so we have to see the rest of the results next week there's another comment that the attorney general made this week during a speech about the relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve he was speaking at the Attorney General's Award for distinguished service in policing event on Tuesday and here is the part of his speech that caused so much controversy and. They have to start showing more than they do. The respect and support. That law enforcement deserves and of communities don't give that support and respect they may find themselves without the police protection they need that was attorney general Barr speaking at an awards event on Tuesday Now yesterday we had Houston's police chief art us a video on our program he's the president of a major cities Chiefs Association among other things we asked him to react to Agee's comments and he referred to Bill bars comments in his words as hogwash attorney general L'Arche statement shows a little naive and a little old Not being familiar with the heart of the American police officers we don't when you call my one we don't ask you you're white black brown Jewish Muslim Christian man woman straight gay We don't ask whether you're a supporter not supporter we don't ask where your zip code and it is we don't ask of your critics we ask what is the problem what is the correct where are you located and we now is Houston Police Chief Art us of a Doe who is the president of the major cities Chiefs Association we have gotten a ton of comments on Facebook about comment Aaron writes that is a terrifying comment coming from the top law enforcement official in the country what exactly does he mean by respects allowing them to do whatever they want without challenge this sounds uncomfortably like places like China contrast that with what James wrote on our Facebook page James writes currently municipalities everywhere are struggling to hire police officers because quite simply nobody wants to do the job anymore that is a result of the current societal conditions but if they don't improve then fewer and fewer people will want to be police and thus a massive shortage will occur that's what bar is saying I'm Joshua Johnson and you're listening to one a. Cheryl you covered the protests in Baltimore after Freddy Gray died in police custody you've covered a number of cases in terms of law enforcement police brutality What do you make of the attorney general's comments. Well 1st of all it was very clear that he was directing his comments to minority communities specifically black communities like Baltimore and in those comments I think he completely ignores the important history that his own Justice Department has documented and that is a history of abusive behavior brutal behavior on the part of police in minority communities like Baltimore like Ferguson I spent a lot of time in those communities talking to people I can tell you that people in those communities want a police presence they but they want the right kind of police presence they want foot patrols not officers in cars running out of their cars to run down drug suspects like Freddie Gray they want officers who understand the nature of their communities and I think that I think they were it was a very unfortunate comments by Bill Barr as we heard offensive not only to minority communities but also to police chiefs themselves from a policy perspective Sheryl it's not terribly different than what we heard from Jeff Sessions he was very well that adamantly Well that's true but if we go back to President Obama and his Justice Department there Justice Department was very aggressive in going after civil rights violations by police that unit has pretty much been decimated under the trumpet ministration and I would add one other thing the attorney general was suggesting in a way that police would quote unquote stand down if communities did not respect them and that is something that we saw happen after Freddie Gray there was a great controversy over whether or not police were backing down because there had been an uprising in which some officers were attacked. Acton injured the police chief there said very strongly that police were not standing down I don't think that that is what the chief law enforcement officer of the United States wants to really encourage in duly sworn police officers and there was another story related crime in law enforcement this week that had to do with federal executions more than a dozen states asked the supreme court to resume federal executions and that came a day after the trumpet ministration asked justices to let the federal government carry out for death sentences what is this about and how does this factor into what the current makeup of the Supreme Court well it's one of those issues that's been sort of percolating through the years is one that could be revisited under more favorable ideological conditions and so that's clearly what they're trying to do here and I as I recall executions could resume as soon as Monday I believe or live could be a federal execution as soon as Monday this coming Monday right so you know this is one of those that now with the current makeup of the court like the gun control issue that was debated by the court earlier this week like possible abortion ruling cases. Rights cases that many believe could potentially you know beat be considered differently now that there is a conservative majority on the court Jeff does this feel like an election year kind of a thing where the administration is talking more law enforcement as an appeal to its base I hesitate to say that simply because this I said surely feels kind of consistent policy wise with what the administration has always said yeah it's a good question I mean certainly President Trump has tried to emphasize his law enforcement themes and that those are popular with the base attorney general Barr has made a push on the death penalty since coming back I don't know if that is a rallying cry for Republicans per se or for people who support President Trump it's certainly a controversy over issue in this country but. He's putting up with his on it and wanted to show some progress I think it is a rallying cry for the president the president has talked about executing drug dealers then through he he's talked of he said to police officers don't be so nice when you go into these communities you know basically saying rough them up a little bit he's a law and order guy and that appeals to the base that's red meat for the base We'll get back to the round up in just a moment there was a new report on climate change that directly affects parts of the u.s.

Back now to the Friday news roundup with Ed O'Keefe of c.b.s. News Sheryl Gay Stolberg of the New York Times and Jeff Mason of Reuters We'll get back to our panel in a minute but for just a minute let's get out of the beltway and head down to the Florida Keys not just because it's warm there and it's cold here but because there was a new report that came out about rising sea levels and the amount of money that it would take to keep the region dry Joining us now to discuss it is w l r N's Nancy Klinger who covers Key West and has covered it for some time Nancy welcome to the program thanks for having me Joshua give us a sense of what this report shows what's the most dire aspect of it for folks in the Keys I guess the dire aspect of it is just what it would cost to keep all of our roads dry with the sea level rise that's projected and whether that cost is worth it if you're only paving a road that reaches you know a couple dozen homes give us a sense for those who haven't been to the Florida Keys of exactly what these roads are like basically when you drive down to the keys you're taking us one and it kind of leads you all the way down the island chain from Key Largo through Iowa Marotta to marathon all the way down to Key West right that's right and that road u.s. One is obviously going to be kept viable for his home as possible but the people who live most people live on the islands off u.s. One and there are smaller lower roads that lead to their homes a lot of those homes are elevated up on stilts because of flooding but keeping the roads dry is important because you need to be able to reach your home how much work has been done up to now in terms of dealing with sea level rise in the Keys Well they've started building new public buildings like new fire stations much higher for flood projections so you know we've we've known for quite a while that this is coming and nobody who lives in the Florida Keys and sees sunny day flooding is really in denial about. Climate change but what was really eye opening was the cost projection for elevating some of these roads they did a test case of a road on Sugarloaf Ky and they found that to keep it dry from the king tides the very high tides we get in the fall just 55 years from now could cost $25000000.00 a mile and by a for the flooding expected in 2060 that would be 60 $1000000.00 a mile and that's a lot for you know a neighborhood of 30 homes and by the way we should be clear when you go on either side of us one if you're not like traveling over water the neighborhoods on either side sometimes are just a few blocks like you could be 23 blocks that juts out from us one and then it goes right back to narrowing That's right and they're quite rural in most places now Florida Governor Rick Scott now senator told scientists during his term not to use the terms global warming and climate change in states documents that got a tremendous amount of pushback What's the mentality of Florida's government in terms of dealing with this I imagine if the state is not interested in working with the federal government then this feels really rather hopeless Yeah we've seen a real turnaround on that with the new governor Rhonda Santos He's appointed a chief science officer and a chief resilience officer and both of them appeared at this climate summit in Key West this week and you know definitely are acknowledging that change is coming and that we have to deal with it what will we lose if we lost key west talk about what it is that makes that place special to people who live there well Key West is actually among the higher spots along the Keys that's why it was one of the 1st to be settled you know I mean the original settlers were on the higher ground so. But the keys as a whole I mean it's just a really beautiful and a lot of the time tranquil island community you have Florida bad. And the Gulf of Mexico on one side the Atlantic Ocean on the other so every day we get both gorgeous sunrises and sunsets we have an amazing environment we have 2 national parks a living coral reef and really wonderful communities with lots of interesting people doing interesting things before I let you go Nancy I remember from every hurricane that I ever covered in South Florida as a South Florida native that the one group of people you could count on the not to evacuate or 3 people in the Keys there you know we've ridden them out before we're going to ride it out again and they do and they make it all the way through what about now is this beginning to change the way people think about riding it out if climate change is going to dramatically change their home well I think some of our recent experience with hurricanes like Irma and Wilma back in 2005 have changed that to some extent but there is definitely a resilient attitude among islanders of survival and figuring out how to make that happen I mean people lived here before there was a road before there was a pipeline bringing fresh water and I think there's ideas about how to make that happen again be more resilient that's w.-a Lawrence Dancy cleaner who covers the Florida Keys Nancy thanks for talking to us thank you let's bring back the panel with Cheryl and Jeff by the way did you know that there are direct flights Washington to Key West always good to know oh you knew Ok now I want to visit Oh yes so you've already kind of planned your post 20 twentieth's k. Well it's on the list it's actually definitely on the out of Brando's Mary on point sometimes you know but 1st we got to get through the election but one person who's not going to be making it deeper into the election cycle is Senator Camila Harris she launched her campaign with a call a good segue that's how she launched her campaign with a rally in Oakland before more than $20000.00 people and now less than a year later she's dropped out of the running this week Jeff what do you think were the big factors that forced Kamel Harris out well the biggest factor apparently if appears to be money she just wasn't. Getting enough she wasn't fundraising enough to stay viable mean she was had already qualified for the next debate in December of the Democratic debate so it it seemed a little bit surprising the timing that she would she would pull out when there are you know other Democratic candidates who have not qualified but she said in her announcement that she couldn't in good faith go forward and telling her supporters that she had a pathway when she didn't see one herself and that had a lot to do with money in terms of why she wasn't making that money mean she made some mistakes during her campaign and one of them certainly had to do with health care there seemed also to be a little bit of a back fire after that moment that she had with Vice President Biden about race and and the parent least some perhaps some infighting in the campaign as well yeah I was going to say there's a core reason why she wasn't raising that money and that is that she seemed not to have a clear idea of what her policies were and why she was running and she kind of did some flip flops but more important as Jeff just raised there were a lot of internal difficulties within her campaign and there was a lot of tension a lot of controversy my colleagues Jonathan Martin and others wrote a very explosive story a few days before she withdrew detailing the resignation of one of her top canned pain staffers who said that you know basically the campaign wasn't disarray that 90 days before Iowa they didn't have a clear idea of what they were doing we had people on the record a congresswoman on the record saying that she thought the campaign manager needed to be fired Kamel Harris had put her sister in charge of the campaign and so there were just all these internal difficulties and I think the bottom line is if you can't run your own campaign you really can't be president worth noting though and with the with the departure of Connelly Harris the Democratic pool gets a little more white Yes it does. Cory Booker yesterday and this week in Iowa actually few times pointed out that the party now runs the risk of having more billionaires than black people in the. Race notable comments from Mike Bloomberg on Friday morning to Gail King on c.b.s. When he was asked about this and he said look. Diversity obviously a big concern but diversity for diversity sake in this race isn't necessarily worth it if the voters are not accepting those candidates they got in they started their campaign before whatever reason voters aren't they're not resonating with voters so why change the party rules if they're not resonating is essentially his argument maybe he didn't give it as it is artfully as he could have but he makes a point which is this is a marketplace of ideas and for whatever reason they haven't been able to sustain themselves to things on Harris's ruling regarding timing it was money but it was also timing Friday is the deadline to appear on the ballot in California and her team decided that amid all these problems it be a little weird to be on the ballot in California and then have potentially have to remove your name from the ballot it would expose her as vulnerable to a potential challenge when she's up for reelection to the Senate in 2022 she survives the other is impeachment if she had to sit in Washington for more than 2 weeks in January for an impeachment trial any momentum she was hoping to have in Iowa would be lost and so now impeachment is essentially you know victimized at least one member of the Democratic field with regards to the front runner of the presumptive front runner Joe Biden he had a heated exchange yesterday with a voter who kind of squared off with him in Iowa voter was questioning his son Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine with oil company and it got pretty tense Here's a clip. From Mr Crane over there but you will never hear thank your center for their. Cabinet member for gas company you had no experience there's nothing in there to get access. For the rest. So that was part of the exchange between Joe Biden and a voter at a campaign event in Iowa Jeff this is one of the 1st times that Joe Biden is actually like even a full throated defense of his son but set that aside for a 2nd when Joe Biden called that voter a damn liar with his assumption about Hunter Biden what actually is the story with Hunter Biden 1st of all I think a rich kid getting a job that he's not qualified for that is not new that's that's kind of the American way and some places well I'm not really a rich kid Well you know honestly but what is the real deal with Hunter by well if you think if you different things to unpack there. Hunter Biden had a job at a Ukrainian energy company and it has come under a great deal of scrutiny because and he has even conceded really in one of his interviews that he probably got it because of his last name so Republicans have focused on that on a great integration of you know with a lot of attention during this impeachment process that has put some pressure on Joe Biden's campaign but there has been no evidence of wrongdoing one of the reasons Republicans have raised questions about it is because while Vice President Biden was in office he was sort of the point person on Ukraine and so they're drawing some connections there that perhaps. Something shady was going on no evidence to suggest that nothing has been proven about that and Biden as we saw in that clip gets hot about his son and I it's actually it's I don't think it is the 1st time that he has robustly defended his son it is however a sign that if this keeps coming up which it on doubt it Lee will certainly if he gets the nomination President Trump is going to bring it up on the debate stage the vice president's going to have to be ready for Catherine emailed I was disappointed to hear that Kamel Harris was dropping out of the Democratic race for president I found her to be a strong moderate candidate with good leadership style I was also heartened by the fact that she is a person of color as well as a woman and I felt that she would be a valuable candidate I'm Joshua Johnson You're listening to one egg. A few more stories we should gets you in the time we have left including Cheryl about Congressman Duncan Hunter Republican from California he pled guilty to a felony this week Duncan Hunter was one of the early supporters of Donald Trump in his campaign but this felony is kind of a big I'm not exactly a fall from grace but it's been a quite a saga over the last few months yeah it's a big deal he was accused and pleaded guilty to one count involving a scheme in which he and his wife who by the way was going to testify against him diverted 250000 dollars from their campaign account to their personal use when Hunter was indicted over the summer he was stripped of all his committee assignments in the house and now that he has pleaded guilty to just one count the House Ethics Committee told him yesterday that he needs to refrain from voting so frankly I'm not sure what there is left for Duncan Hunter to do we know that Kevin McCarthy the Republican leader spoke to Hunter yesterday and McCarthy told reporters that some kind of statement would be forthcoming from Hunter but as of now he remains a congressman without the ability to vote and without the ability to serve on committees but he hasn't said he's resigned he hasn't said he's resigning so. You know I don't know how long you can hang on that one more story from the administration that affects hundreds of thousands of people on food stamps this program snap is the official name of the program what's the change and why is the administration making Yeah so Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and in essence what they're trying to do is eliminate the benefits for about 688000 adults by making it more difficult for states in this reading here because it's easier to do it that way to weigh requirement that adults without children work at least 20 hours a week or lose their benefits this is been a longstanding push by mostly Republicans to tighten up the rules in a bid to save money and make the program more efficient Congress last year in the farm bill kept this kind this proposed stricter requirement out of the farm and food bill but there was language in it that said if the White House wants to go down this road on its own go right ahead and so they're doing that but they will likely face legal challenges for doing it could save several 1000000 dollars over the course of it but again likely be challenged in court and arguments have been made this week this is unfair to some of the neediest people in the country one last story before we go because this was a busy week for politics for sure and next week will be the same but it was a really good week for many pop culture fans a viral video features a song about a character in The Man Delorean a new Star Wars series on the streaming service Disney plus in its 1st episode the man to Laurie and a bounty hunter makes a moral decision to not turn over the biggest catch of his career a child that looks like a baby Yoda thanks to fans of the show and fans of adorable big eyed babies in general baby Yoda is now inescapable fans of the Broadway hit Hamilton will recall the song Dear Theodosia near the end of Act One of the deer theater that song became the viral parody dear baby Yoda and it is equally adorable will play it for in a 2nd now the characters popularity may have caught Disney by surprise it has no plans to release baby you.

Story in the news about Carlos' which reminded me. I had done my duty Black Crowes or touring. No I know I would. Love that song then it sounds just like that. I had thought the other day how smarter pugs because we have a pug. And I I claim that the Pug is kind of a dumb animal My wife claims it's fairly smart and I got into looking up how smart I got into looking at how smart various animals are and yes is really really fascinating actually and so more on that coming up a little bit and crows factor in there from the crow is a fascinating creature I didn't realize crows are serious mark yeah yeah by the way I think let me check my schedule I think I'm down to 2 opioids a day now today's day number one of. 2 a day I'm trying to wean myself off of them I mean I'm going to I'm still sort of party it's Thursday I'm still going to turn a trick to get more of them. But you're starting to feel ashamed about it find right exacting a John might be your problem. Oh well that's a little hurtful. I think that's going to be your stumbling block. Are you are you buttressing this temper down with over the counter stuff for you to get out Oh no no good lord no no it's alternating with acetaminophen aka Tylenol and ibuprofen which got a schedule all worked out. Ok here it is so there are 33000 vertebrate animals on earth that right there I find astounding 33000 different vertebrate animals that exist on earth I can say I can name 7. Good lions bears dogs. And of course not even a fraction of those have been tested for intelligence that goes without saying that canine overall ranks number 13 on the list of smartest invertebrates Ok top 20 is good back see here good boy here they are are in order of smartest the Aurangzeb tan is number one they're crazy smart my counts an orangutan. I get that's not true . The bottlenose dolphin comes the next they're rapee though Man The dolphin is a scary creature forget the whole flipper they're smart. You know and they are smart they're beautiful and they're graceful and they jump up and put on shows and that's of it but they are vicious and rapee. The chimpanzee is 4th also vicious in rape people fascinating I'm sorry that's 3rd chimpanzees can count I can't the 2. Jack are both wrong $27.00. But so in order so far your forte is your smartest Oh my God you say as I. Said it he claims he never says the word but I heard him say it on the radio do. You. I was a misspeak Needless to say guys get that tape ready. Ok you're smart as the animals in order rank then bottlenose dolphin chimpanzee elephant then elephant then choro. Crow is the 5th smartest beast on planet earth their capacity for a memory and be communicating with each other and sending messages is Donna Xing I believe they are they even use tools right like crows will pick up a stick with a. Baek and though they've done tests where they can use that to get food out of a finger or whatever interesting out of a thing they did not on the top 10. Well right and they recognize faces and can remember them for a decade. So if you were mean to a crow you could watch your back 10 years later that the baby crow you threw a rock at as a kid could see you on the street and yes exactly things big is a dang beagle to rest of the top 5 smartest animals African gray parrot the pig the rat. The squirrel Wow the squirrel the squirrel I'm skeptical of that one where does the squirrel rank number 8 smartest animal out of one of the 3000 different species dang between the things we snuff because there are too many of them and the things we eat because they're delicious I'm feeling kind of bad about some of this your raccoon not not really bad but a little your raccoon Yeah and. Veined octopus which is particular which is the worst thing I've ever heard I said what I said at home the other day I was going through the list everybody groaned for some reason. Sounds like a euphemism. It actually does. Now unfortunately Well a little note from the pages of science there canines in general are very intelligence are able to feel many emotions that humans do from jealousy love in general canines have the intelligence of a 2 and a half year old human they say that sounds about right to make you know it does if you've ever had a 2 and a half year old it's about right as a dad and a dog owner that rings true a separate list of who's a good boy and dog are at the top of that one but you know you think good point you think of a 2 and a half year old you've got them potty trained mostly they do you hear poop in the house mostly but every once in awhile they do just like your dog that's train that sort of thing well and they can absolutely obey commands they there are affectionate and under. Stand you know who's good to them who's not even you will add them they'll be afraid of you for a little while you can peanut butter it's hilarious they will come out of the toilet if you leave them alone Right right but but at the same time they're capable of subterfuge I mean Baxter is he's pretty possessive and he will take toys tennis balls whatever and bury them in the backyard so that there he is and our fabulous dog trainer. Has let us know no no no no that is not good those toys are yours you let him play with them but they don't let him get away with that stuff so we've always got to be vigilant about that. But you know that's that's so interesting you know we got we have multiple dogs we have 4 dogs in the are all one of our dogs are medium size dog who has a blue heeler had a bone he was really proud of and he went over any of looking around and he starts digging a hole he's going to hide his bone and he's got it all dug the hole dug in and put the bone in there covered it all up many legs over and our biggest dog beyond had been watching him oh wait a 2nd I see you watch me bury my bone get it back. I mean see you there. Larry it's so they mention the orangutan and the chimpanzee I didn't hear the gorilla in there I know there have been experiments in which a girl or 2 have done amazing things and learned words and the rest of it I wonder is there just no point in all those different great ape distinctions I want because I don't I got to I got to believe a number of the great apes are high on the list now but what do I know Hellary Clinton went on a radio show yesterday the Howard Stern Show which I think is notable and that doesn't seem like the sort of thing she would do if she's running for office really because you know he might ask something uncomfortable right she and everything needs to be 100 percent predictable for her which is why you can get elected me like she had some stuff to say about maybe running for president that's on the way on the Armstrong you get into.

F.m.b. Dot com. Ok I'm getting. Back. To we couldn't have any interest in actually running I don't have any idea and. I think I believe. He Chen who told us a couple weeks ago that she she's staying relevant the moment she's absolutely says she's out nobody cares about her book anymore no matter what she has to say she doesn't get on any of the shows and that's proper says she's just stoking the fire just enough that's disappointing to me because I'm viewing most of this stuff through the lens of what would be most entertaining to me and it would be super entertaining to me if she got a neg I think it's surprising you won the popular vote last even though that was one literal College landslide it was really only you know some tens of thousands of votes this one right away and. You know when you're running against Donald Trump one of the most unpopular president we've ever had so. I don't know how you rule that out I'm going to need you to stop making my case for Hillary Clinton. Next Well there until John put away that knife Sean what are you doing Democrats going to be president there's a whole long list of people I'd choose before I want Hillary Clinton I'm just surprised she's not going to run anyway she was on with our stern and did an interview and here's a little of it you know I went to the inauguration which is why I just days on my own writing this I am consumed with that. And so when I got there you know go ahead get out there you put on the best face civil and I'm you know Bill and I are sitting with George and Laura Bush and then he started on that speech. Which was so bizarre and that's when I got really worried I thought wait a minute if you said rational it's not rational but it's also not it's not politics it's not what a president does a president is supposed to try to reach out to people who work for write him or her you're supposed to say Ok I'm going to be the president of everyone those who supported me and those who didn't because we're going to hold the country together I don't that I would hear a little of that I didn't hear any of that and then that current age in the street and the dark dystopian vision I was sitting there like just wow couldn't believe in shorts w. Bush says to me Oh that was some weird. You know if she were a 3rd a 3rd like that that natural and unguarded while campaigning she'd be president and Howard Stern says that later in their interview he talks about how he begged her to come on he was trying to get to all or people say come on that a trumpet come on his show of times and humanized himself and if Hillary had come on she'd be president right now and she says apparently the end of the interview yeah you're probably right yeah if she sounded anything like that ever she it would have been more helpful to or no doubt yeah she did yeah which is which is its own kind of weird personality the fact that you are you don't trust your own personality enough to like just relax and talk is its own weird thing right and I understand why you why you need to be a little cautious perhaps that outer 20 percent of yourself or you get a little nutty but you got to be yourself and she went with like a lot of politicians do that outer 90 percent of herself was going to show anybody . Was unable ally and if she wanted to run for president as she talked about how she worked across the aisle and supported the Osama bin Laden raid and all the different stuff so she got to do a full full throated This is why I'd be a good president pitch I don't know why you go through that if you have no interest she also. Signify the loss to a normal Republican I wouldn't have a pit in my stomach I don't believe that just based on everything I've ever run about people who've run for president they have a pit in the stomach for the rest of their lives no matter who it is you don't think it would be a different picture though if she was Mitt Romney. It would be a different bit. And she also said country to where you what you might hear I actually like a man Stern says Have you ever had a lesbian affair she laughed and said No never never never. You know it's funny oh I thought this was interesting and I want to bring up this point. She said that she's never seen a therapist but she did see a marriage counselor after Lewinsky we still have never had a president and I don't think we could yet elect a president who's ever been in therapy seen a therapist who would say out loud Oh yeah I have a therapist I see regularly I think it's interesting how you know therapy in popular culture and in an interesting culture in general has become more acceptable but not acceptable enough I don't think that you could run for president and say oh yeah I'm in therapy regularly I talk to somebody about my problems I don't think you could yeah that's that's probably true. I don't know I think that's evolving would have to spin it pretty effectively to get past I'm not saying never but my question would immediately be mediately before what. Why are you in therapy what was the particular problem what's the bigger problem with it is hard and it helps to have a non-biased 3rd party person to download my problems onto Are you still setting fires or whatever you do you. Know the point of the Aaron Sorkin show The West Wing where they the deaths are the lengths they had to go to to keep. President Bartlet seeing a therapist private because they were worried about what messaging now would send out if it leaked out you know I'll bet most of it almost every therapist would agree it's insane that the president doesn't see a therapist Yes I think it's insane with the most pressure packed job that exists on planet Earth and all the different things tugging at you all right just objective voice and objective here to make sure that you are you're not getting caught in your own psychological traps because we all have them to make sure you're just saying rational go yeah of course I'm going whichever direction too much hubris or not enough self-confidence either direction Right right yeah there are presidents who've been paralyzed by the fact that they have nothing but bad choices and at some point you know generally you have a council or a chief of staff or something that says Sir you've got to choose one of these things and yes every single one of them has a downside and history understands that so go ahead. You know and then you dive in make your decisions by the way it's funny on that theme I was listening to Hillary talk about the inauguration speech and the rest of it and I thought there were aspects of what she said that I kind of agreed with but just hearing her say it in that high handed way of hers it reminded me of during the hearings yesterday or those particularly that one smug Professor gal from Stanford who hates Trump made that really really inappropriate reference to Trump's son and everything. So Turley was there Jonathan Turley was there and he was saying his point of view if you were listening or whatever that was that listen you folks haven't proved your case you're going to have cocked impeachment is way too important and heavy for you to just kind us sort of you know prove your charges and not bother calling witnesses because we're kind in a hurry this is not right but Turley had made the point that listen I did not vote for Donald Trump I am not Donald Trump supporter Bob about one of our e-mails asked that I thought was a great question after sitting next to those 3 well 2 of them in particular were just utterly insufferable smug self-righteous holier than thou progressives after sitting with all 3 of them all day I wonder if Turly thinking you know what I am going to vote for the bastard this time like so many people have just gotten so sick of the media and the lies and the drumbeat and the the 6 different reason we're supposed to impeach the guy there's so many people out there closeted Trump voters are thinking you know what I am pulling the lever for him this time will Hillary saying they're his inauguration speech it wasn't politics it was normal I'm freakin care that's the point. Right there are parts of it I didn't like exactly but the whole idea Hilary was a rejection of of you and Mitt and the polite talk in the half measures and the pay and the lip service to Americans but just building your own power and making d.c. More and more the do rich and just lie into a certain condescending to us and y'all getting richer and richer that's exactly what we're hoping for was a rejection of the usual So you numbskull the fake names for people who are donating money to or your foundation freedom station continue to come and fueled by the grape is in for $50.00 I think that's the 2nd time we've had so many with only well you know what we should point out that fueled by the great t.

But that coming up in a little bit. Let's check in with Gladys he is the drum roll Thank you glad to see where we are with the Warrior Foundation freedom station that's nice and tight knit and. Overseas she is one of the dough boys and went over to you one absolutely she was a doll girl obviously. $23304.00 cash Wow that's really great I'm starting to feel like we could hit half a 1000000 by close of business tomorrow it's still going to be really hard I was feeling hopeless earlier in the show I have some hope now I don't want to remove that carrot that is in front of the horse that is our good friends the Armstrong you get a listening audience because it would be so cool if we were to hit half a $1000000.00 But you know to keep things positive we are raising money for an unbelievably great organization that does unbelievably great things with our warriors so no matter what happens y'all are doing a great thing and I say thank you so we have a $50.00 donation from Jack said fart chipping in for $50.00 yes we have Taylor Swift apparently just dropping in $25.00 which doesn't seem like a lot for Taylor Swift.

This so childish oh yeah let's get the news of more of a look at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she's going to be telling judiciary chaired Jerry Nadler to move forward with the Articles of Impeachment begins President Trump with confidence and you know they say Ok he seems to our founders and high full of love for America today I'm asking you to proceed with them teach them to have that heart felt statement one of the reporters covering the event asked her if she hates the president firing back as a Catholic I resent your using the word hate in a sentence that it to us is me I don't hate anyone I was raised in a way that is full height full of laughs and always pray for the president and I still pray that the president I pay for the president all the time don't mess with me when it comes to words like that you go wow that's so don't mess with me that's some tough stuff so you don't know what I'm next with me all right you know what I want to hear before we. End for the day I want to hear Jerry that Adler back in the day talking about the Clinton impeachment that's going to impeachment and then also Jonathan Turley we have some good tape of him back during the Clinton days I want I would like to point this out if you remember we had Laura Logan formerly of 60 Minutes who said I read stories in The New York Times and can't find a fact here's another example one of those one of the top stories today written by Peter Baker who's a serious political journalist and the title of this new story not opinion piece the headline is mocked abroad in a sailboat home from pre-term to face impeachment. You can find fault with both of those assertions mocked abroad just because Justin Trudeau got caught on a mike making a joke and how he has long press conferences I mean you're mocked abroad assailed at home you're going to survive the soap impeachment easily according to everyone so what Where's the fact in those news that news story in The New York Times that's why people hate the media and some people who are you know skeptical of Trump around the round anyways just crap like that made a lot of more u.s. Troops could indeed be headed to the Middle East a.b.c. News is saying the White House is waging a possibility of sending thousands more troops to the region to deter Iranian a provocation last week a u.s. Navy destroyer reportedly seized a vessel with missile parts headed to a rainy and backed rebels in Yemen and yesterday there were reports that Iran has been using Iranian backed militias to smuggle short range ballistic missiles in to Iraq so we've made the sending more troops back over there Wow So they're stockpiling arms to attack our guys I guess yeah and a subtle right being unlike that that. Arranges load no Puracal missiles so here wow now I'm not I'm not going to use the news donkey for this just because it doesn't matter but it's a this just across John Kerry former presidential candidate for the Democrats has just endorsed Joe Biden well all know granted it's not that you don't matter there are no news doesn't mean you know you don't matter you're a great rates that here have a character Brandon on his head there are news on he very sensitive but almost always a performer Yankee face not interested in horse face in indorsing Joe Biden there were with that it where endorsements haven't mattered since the thirty's one and. The field of candidates indorsing you know all really old failed candidates and then for the post. Kanye West is going to be joining Pastor Joel Osteen at Yankee Stadium next spring t.m. Disease reporting the now religious rapper will be joining Ospina his might of Opi event on May 2nd. Appearance comes after he appeared almost as big a church last month in Houston these expected to perform with his choir all owing O'Steen sermon you know and I'm kind of surprised that Kanye is going big giant mega church group with his Christianity but seems to be as things well then it certainly looks like he's serious about all you serious at your news by Marshall Phillips the arm started going to show the conscience of the nation. As a whole though is that to Kanye West and if he falls off the whole Christianity thing who knows where it goes from there. Well and listen as to the you why he's consorting with mega pastors and mega churches a thing that so I've never been comfortable with. Remember even during this Christian phase he mentioned that he was the greatest artist God had ever created yet so he it's not like he's left his ego Hopi hind So yeah I get that he's going for the biggest a venue to spread the word. Although you know he went to a prison the other day you know visiting prisoners and that's a little literally out of the 1st Testament or in the old the New Testament I should say right. Anyway good for him to Corinthians walk into a bar in the morning so all those things you mentioned and a strong finish on the way on the Armstrong you get a show. 600000 pal wave road still working on a record right lane the coming with the traffic brake to lead trying to get this out of planes completely you've got in the mean time is heavy and slow from Caminos del Norte say 78 lasted 2 and a fallacy road stalls car right lane sponsored by Indy dot com You're in charge.

Well meaning and even if you did think that the American people are clearly not going along with it nobody's convinced maybe you're convinced and you know what I can respect that but nobody else is the only upside to this is that in one generation both parties will have done a. Partisan impeachment of another president and failed at it and hopefully it will be a century before anybody thinks that's a good idea again yeah yeah so in my. Understanding the labeling of clip 15 accurately was this Turley back during the Clinton days or was he describing the Clinton days so this was him during that's what I thought of him Ok good yes this is Jonathan Turley who is one of the panelists yesterday in front of the Judiciary Committee executive power exhibits the same physical properties as a gas in a confined space when you expand the space to gas fulfilled a space. You should not be misled. Your decision will define executive power and authority if you decide to certain x. Do not rise to impeachable offenses you will expand the space for executive conduct . And we will have to live with that expansion. Well see that that's totally being Turley that's a perfect or perfectly reasonable thing to say he's not making that decision for them like that one woman from Stanford she he's just saying look I understand that what you're doing is important and it has ramifications so do it right so he voted for Hillary not sure he argued that George Bush should be prosecuted for war crimes because of the war in Iraq. So easy as in a lot of different places on these arguments and yesterday said that he didn't think this was an impeachable offense. Or right or at least it hadn't been proven to be an impeachable offense there are so rushed and half cocked and everything that they haven't made the case yet and a couple of the Republicans thought were saying why do we have these allegedly great lights of scholarship here telling us that oh yeah this is clearly an impeachable offense. Excuse me when we haven't finished the investigation part of it we haven't written articles of impeachment they're just what are you talking about what you've heard on the news or what you read about the New York Times Why are you here what I thought was a fairly reasonable you know question I ask. Can't go away can adjust home go Well it absolutely will this is the most predictable you know drama in the history. Of the will cobble together some articles you know it'll be somewhat interesting to see whether they incorporate any. Report obstruction stuff or you know the obstruction of Congress stuff that they're talking about including obstruction of Congress looking into the Ukrainian thing. Well that was another one of Turley's points that I thought was brilliant that nobody's talking about he said the administration said no these people will not testify in less they're ordered to by the courts and you all meaning the Democrats then gave up you did not say we deserved to hear from John Bolton we're litigating this so you can't accuse the president the executive branch of. Obstruction for appealing to the courts that's not obstruction that's exactly what they're supposed to do instead you've said well never mind and you've gone ahead half cocked it's really it's inexcusable it's sloppy and it's fake it's just so fake they are so obviously just checking the impeachment box for the hardest core whatever percentage of left wing Democrats that's all that's happening here and it's just so a waste of everybody's time how much time do we have left Michael got about 2 minutes Ok good because there's a number person I want to hear like all those jokes that we haven't heard so far today for the or any of those really good show on. This one interview that just came out Brad Pitt said he didn't cry for almost 20 years yeah he said The trick is every time he got sad he just remembered he was Brad Pitt so. How about that other David Spade joke because I go like that and then and then then one special one over his list of the air. Higher State Building is their number one tourist destination the 2nd most popular destination across a busy street from where you ask them to pick you up. Yeah very very no kidding very very funny now there's been too many afterwards this hour for my taste I'm talking about the flatulence word they word that I don't ever say and have never said so for your Ford is your smartest that was he said but I did mention that one of the most popular toys for Christmas this year is the flatulence launcher 3000 your fart launcher 3000 drug it's sold out on Wal-Mart they're almost out of it on target a few Your kids wanted it makes smells and sounds and they just fantastic Here's part of their commercial that's now what to do. But watching Wheel boards made the canister pull into. This kettle we have the courage. And the sense that something nobody likes that's like say real dental pain pain any time you want for something else unpleasant the high pitched noise the thought makes noises that hurts people's ears the do rock in your shoe 3000 have your food . It is an odd impulse Judy reminded me yesterday that her brother in law gave my son. Earlier version of that toy years and years ago really in one I don't think we permitted it to be opened Yeah I wouldn't I would absolutely not I would intercept that if I could and that just goes away yeah yeah I tell you what son here's a nice ball glove you know nice baseball mitt instead tell you what you give me that will go to those who are something you not unleashing bad smells in the house because it amuses you not my house in a part.

The ins and outs of what we saw yesterday and were to see again on Monday what's going on with Pelosi man is she getting cranky today throwing up the articles of impeachment and everything they all of this has not received not in control and then that's rough saying right after the election I said with that in the very. Last year I said serious so hard to swallow politics because you can't control the 20 twentieth's presidential She can't she can control Bloomberg or Stier c. And c. Can't control a 0 seat she would like to hold on to the house and says her last go around she loses the House he's done she doesn't want to do that and so. This is hard times and she just flew back and forth across the whatever that's the plan that's not an easy either so she's stressed out. Or not it is asking for sympathy for her but you know that's it she knows of their marching as you know I predict at this hour they are marching towards impeachment and he's going along for the Ronde not to see necessarily wants to do it slouching towards Babylon the bar owner John did a good thing from years ago. Here's here's Nancy Pelosi this morning when she was asked if she hated the president and let's listen in. I'm going to. Say. I think the president is a coward when it comes to helping out kids who are afraid of gun violence I think he is cool when he doesn't deal with. Helping our dreamers that of which we're very proud I think he's in denial about the Constitution about the time. Crisis However that's about the election this is about the elect take it up in the election this is about the Constitution of the United States and the facts that meet the president's violation of his oath of office and as a Catholic I resent your He's at work hate and a sentence that expresses to me I don't hate anyone I was raised in a way that is full heart full of life and always prayed for the president and I still pray for the President I pray for the president all the time so don't mess with me when it comes to words yeah yeah yeah I've done my survey that you like you need kept such good stuff Nancy Pelosi did it and the question was asked by James Rosen who now works for Sinclair Broadcasting used to be a Fox News he's a friend who has been on the show. And he happens to believe it happens to be Jewish as far as I can recall if this was turned around and that was Trump saying what she said to that reporter that now be saying well that's you Pelosi is a Semitic I mean it's just so so bizarre but it reveals a very good conflict believes as accounts like it's supposed to be pro-life but it never affected her either well I like when she gets theological I like when they all do that sort of fact let's go back to 2010 here's a little Nancy Pelosi the Right Reverend Pelosi it just it bears repeating ask me all the time what's your favorite this what is your favorite That was your favorite . And what one time what is your favorite word. And my favorite word that is really easy that would be my favorite word is the word the word capital is the word you know and I don't really know everything it says it all fall down she gets deeper and you know the difficult reference you know the gospel you know friends and heard I do and that. Word word yes this is. We have to give voice you know what that means in terms of public policy that would be in keeping with the values you have a references are all reference you could squeeze in here the word you got north of where Mr is beautiful just covers everything sure does Got a reference that will. Tell it in with anything you want but of course he's as well to know that when the short and. The word was made flesh getting closer amongst us and that's the the great mystery there in fact faith will come again Baghdad you know getting closer there in the right revenues people oh so you know from the archives kind of dovetailing with her. See a logical bent today so and there's another way you could be praying for the president saying I pray that he you know he takes his last breath before tomorrow morning you never know people pray for a lot of things like her. But. When I said I've remembered her. That I said the Democrats. And the 3rd thing let's impeach shop and I wrote numbers one and next investigation into shutting down the government over will be enough for the far right they covet power they want to replace with better Ginsburg like a liberal and they currently lack the power to do it they want and my fount the president means undermining Trump is their 1st priority. Proceedings won't be there also my act of frustration Never mind that they are no never mind that there are no legal or factual grounds for such proceeding they need to satisfy that their base not the truth. And Mark let's consider those ludicrous professors yesterday who said you couldn't be further from the conversation right and the trouble with her right that's the same as someone of some of these others they imagine just based on their own personal preference bias what have you and when they're asked by Matt gauge the Republican congressman do you see anything in the chef report that the rises to level impeachment and then nobody said Oh yeah none of them so it's all in the fridge right Frank is how we are going to impeach presidents going for Ok I heard that President Obama used the i.r.s. Against conservatives to affect the election i.q. Can certainly infer that now so should he have been impeached for that should he be a peach for the fact that he asked for in 26 thing for dirt on Trump look as Jonathan Turley said very simply for a Bamma under their standards just about anybody could be impeached and that's what the divide here is about the criminalization of politics and policy they can't win all the merits so they have to say the other guy is so bad. He has to be impeached top of a current political vanguard dot com Of course the next hearing date will be on Monday so Nancy Pelosi again this morning is as Arbor we're moving ahead we're going to be drawing up articles of impeachment. You have people like Judge and a politician who used to be on Fox News is now totally anti-drug He's predicting that that trumps to testify under oath in a trial. And it's not unfair you are getting apart from saying Trump saying do it fast and bring it on is what Trump saying let me tell you something called Paul Thomas said yesterday it was a lack of as an attorney and interning for 32 years this notion out there that that the House has sole authority or the so ability to impeach correct they are still subject to the rest of the Constitution when they do it and that includes the 14th Amendment they are not they don't have dictatorial power because they have the sole job of doing this they still have to follow what they passed that they will it says here is our 1st cd except we shall be subpoenaed and you shall be a rested without hearing if you don't appear but that pass muster of course not they still have to follow due process it is utterly disgusting for anyone to say outs out loud like the politician noted that they have sole authority so that they so the courts have no say now you know well when I watch us unfold and of course it's an urgent constitutional crisis I'm sure why they're taken time off until I know the drawing up the articles of impeachment probably already did do some rough drafts before poses announcement today but if the constitutional crisis why do you wait till next Monday or take 2 weeks off the last 2 weeks mark they they schedule that you get Cheri before they finish the report that is like scheduling the sentencing hearing before the verdict comes that.

F.m.b. Dot com. Tell. Start me up stuff it on the wall the big beautiful wall with a big beautiful door Mexico's and pay for going to the Trump promise and a lot of what's been said lately is sad that the wall is being built is just a matter of replacing wall segments that needed to be shored up and enhanced and all that which is true but that still wall being built. In fans or any combination of security Wow c.b.s. News admitted. That there's additional wall $167000000.00 worth and this is like about a 1000000000 or 2 or more that's been earmarked for this and challenge every step of the way but in the rural south Texas construction crew is pushing to finish an 8 mile stretch of border wall in the town of Donna Texas the. 8 mile stretch and c.b.s. News said that west of that community there's a 3 mile stretch of the wall that's being built nearly 10000000000 is the number been diverted from government agencies says the c.b.s. Report but you know it's diverted that gets a simplistic way to say where some of that's coming from national security kind of thing so that's not bad because it is a security as last military issue now Mexico is not paying for it. But the Border Patrol sector chief there Rudolfo care if said it's just a start he so we're looking at about 80 to 90 miles of new wall one way or another the next year and a half but it won't all be connected so then people say well it's not all connected doesn't work well it's having some ball is better than having none you can ask anybody who lives along the border about that so that's some progress there I just saw this all this is going to change the whole race. John Kerry lurch has come out in support of Joe Biden former Secretary of State John. Kerry Senator Heinz Kerry who had been that John Kerry the progression John Kerry he who is seen member that he and Teresa his wife and we were sitting there with Bashir Assad the butcher of Syria few years ago having one nice little dinner. Of the transcript from that anyway John Kerry is indorsing Joe Biden and Joe Biden is doing his no malarkey bus tour that's what they're calling that's hip the no malarkey bus tour so you're going to have Joe Biden who also challenged a reporter today was asking why you have to all do this he's out challenge you to push up contest right now of course he didn't do it. So John Kerry is now endorsing Joe Biden John Kerry the standard bearer for mine was a 2004 with John Edwards back in the day. So he's going to play that that's electrifying if you're there here comes a bus tour it's the no malarkey bus tour with with Joe Biden is Joe going to start dressing in a lifeguard uniform all these stories he's told about the kids running the hair on the leg when he came out of the pool and corn pop and all that it might as well just go with what people remember and then it's Here's our here's our new face of Democrat Party endorsement from John Kerry. Kerry says I believe Joe Biden is the president our country desperately needs right now. That does the good of the optics Meanwhile here Sunny Hostin not all that Sunny on The View and she's. She's talking about Camelot Harris you know of course she is out or California junior Senator Campbell Harris. And she's going along with this this is Paris because of her race because she's a woman the sexism really out of the issues that matter to me. I was disappointed actually she dropped out and have to suspend her campaign and I think that you know there's no question that there are obviously problems with her . Campaign I think there are obviously financial problems but I don't think you can look at that without also looking at the fact that as a woman of color she also faced unprecedented sex is compounded by racism as well as as a female candidate of color this country voted in a black president for 2 terms Hillary Clinton won the popular vote to say this country has not proven the opposite of what you're saying I think it's factually wrong when you perhaps there's something you've got a look in the mirror said having seen or it's me or some reason I'm struggling to connect to the voters maybe I am not giving them what they want to hear Well actually I think that there's just no question that we did have a black president twice and I think that's wonderful but I think the election of President Trump is is May prove my point it may prove my point because we're in a very divisive place and I know you so I guess what Sunny Hostin is saying despite the Hillary winning the popular vote despite that Obama being elected twice Well there was actually another the 1st black president because he said so was Bill Clinton so he sent back to the 1st of the tech the 1st black president. So now I guess of what she's saying is because of Trump America's suddenly racist and sexist that the issue is Kemel Harris is Kemel Harris with her record with her views and she's not very likable is not a matter of well it's because she's a woman now and she's just she's just not the based on her campaign that didn't work and why she and she said I'm not a billionaire so I made the decision that when you make a decision you're out of money that's the decisions made for you.

You know if you're going to let me read exactly what it says here it says I'll ignore the comment got around bestselling other holder of 3 u.s. Patents that here's exactly what I'm reading off your website for 17 year she was a syndicated columnist. Now I like California I don't pass judgment but is that is that why I couldn't read your for about 3 or 4 months did you have some work done what happened no but thank you for pointing out that I don't want to get to you that bio is going to be corrected in seconds really I think what happened. It was 17 years but but after the are in here the gas went over to join he which again is a picture of where we are in California but I was just concerned because you kind of went under it into the bunker last few months after I left the n.r.a.

Well unfortunately this is going to be an impeachment I told him you're a few weeks ago I said you here's what's going to happen and that's my prediction is they will impeach him. It will go over to the Senate and if they will not convict him because not $21.00 Republicans that are joined the Democrats in the Senate because it has to be 2 thirds remember as the standard right unless they change that rule Well that's not going to happen with Mitch McConnell though I'm sure no you're absolutely right and then he's going to be reelected and the Republicans will recapture the House of Representatives because of what they've done the American people are fed up with this stuff and and none of them want to have this van. Rolling over top of the Democrats want to put that's what's going to happen and unfortunately she's going to go down in history as one of the worst speakers of the House of Representatives have ever had I remember back to the era of Ronald Reagan right after 7 point Dexter and I were reassigned back to the Pentagon there was a movement afoot in the Congress of the United States to impeach the president of the United States nobody talks about this anymore and then they appointed a special prosecutor in December and then they held a joint congressional committee bipartisan as they called it but it was run by the Democrats and the reality is in the aftermath of that no one ever wanted to have John Poindexter and Ollie North testify again in public and that's why it would have been because you may remember every single network that existed covered the testimony of that moment and me and it would be the same in a trial and as a consequence of that the Democrats said let's not do this because they didn't want that to happen again Larry Walsh who is the special prosecutor never gave up and at the last minute he calls me in and he says to me if you'll sign this document and the written document that was theoretically going to be my statement about the president lying in a deposition the special prosecutor if you sign this we will not indict you and if you don't sign this we will indict you well I took it back I said I need I need to think about this over night I ran the document 2 pages through a shredder that was so good it was microdots it was like confetti. Right there next when I brought it back opened I just shrugged it into a plastic you know those were and you're Remember those are the days people got very excited about the shredding ability that oh yes and I had I did a great shredder here in America aside I want to get back to the start member the shredder that we had at another radio station when I was over there and I had to sign it yes. I disappeared so it's somewhere it's on the back. Not for me. You meant so I was just trying to write stuff you shredded it down to the micro dots and all that it History repeats it sack Yeah and he said what did you decide to do with the document I gave you last night and took the plastic bag out and dumped out the shredded confetti on his desk and the next day he indicted me and and that trial went on Of course until 1992 at the very last minute in the 92 elections George Herbert Walker Bush was president right he then indicts 4 days before the election Caspar Weinberger the secretary of defense and 5 other people you know in an effort to do real his his reelection well here and there it was part didn't work right there was part of that that you know by the way by the way on his way out the door George Herbert Walker Bush pardoned all 6 of them as they deserve to have done you know Cap Weinberger great guy he was you know Oliver North and with us his latest book is The Rifleman available just in time for Christmas surprise woman Book dot com When you look at the the week so far no only to Thursday but Trump's over there with NATO you have people of course that's overshadowed by Jerry Nadler and his orchestra look at hearings and I guess Adler again doesn't think we have the Internet created by Al Gore to go back and see him you know during the Clinton impeachment saying you shouldn't do what what the Democrats are now doing he thinks it doesn't matter now but the Trumps over there and he's always getting prickly with these NATO leaders and so forth. You know and I know and I think our listeners know that so much of what goes on here is to make it appear that a trumps impeached and they don't know that means a. Dykeman they'll get just thrown out by the end of the day which he won't or even in the trial in the Senate or that his hair on fire not getting anything done you've got the economy doing well and more than well you've got. Baghdadi dead you know in terms of the terrorists you have you know you know the terrorists have not taken a break for the impeachment hearings they still do their nasty stuff in new and stranger ways the cartels we know about here Big sure you know slipping into our side of the border in creative ways so you know all that and the president doesn't ignore that any president it's there as part of the job every day so how do you think he's doing in those areas where the opposition rather not highlight that well look at despite the fact that the Congress the United States has done absolutely nothing because of the what's going on in the house absolutely nothing to make that life for Americans any better they've done absolutely nothing they've been so consumed by this ridiculous and quite frankly very damaging impeachment process it's all to money going to be damaging to our country because as Jonathan Turley testified yesterday the setting the new standard for what impeachment is is a terrible precedent and what they're doing is they're going to make it it'll be just like Italy and they will be doing this kind of thing for decades in the future until we recapture the House and I predict that's one of the outcomes of this whole thing is going to be recapturing the House of Representatives and bring some sanity back to governance in this country it's outrageous what they're doing quite honestly I don't think the American people are nearly is engaged in this effort it's nothing like for example the effort back in the 1980 s. With Ronald Reagan Ronald Reagan super confident about the outcome of what they were doing they didn't even bring articles of impeachment forward because they didn't want to have a repeat of what had happened and then 987 that that long summer of $87.00 was an admiral and a lieutenant colonel the of the Marines testifying on behalf of Ronald. When you know son unfortunately is right some of these anchors on television on the networks m m s n b c whatever though occasionally pull that up and they just try to redo history by saying well you know Iran Contra you know in our opinion that they don't know the context they don't know what else happened they don't know that you and your family were under a specific terrorist threat you know I mean I don't on a it's but they want they don't want people to know that Ollie North most of the people reporting fake news in America weren't even born when that was happening you and I were around united in a surge shortly thereafter after I retired from the Marines in 88. When I started you know telling the American people the truth as a radio man we've been doing that long 31 years we have how we have out of that I don't know but I don't feel any older I don't use the phone I get up except when I get up in the morning well you're my hero. Of the book The Rifleman and available in the fine stores are trying to hide it at Barnes and Noble No No They're fact I'm doing a book signing you know the Army Navy game is coming up after next and I'm doing a book signing that Friday up in Philadelphia so you're going out here on a tour and all of we just are we just and also around this time well you know that if I get out there I will come by and see you know that you're a real quick what do you make of the sheriff report and this snooping around in Devon known as phone records I mean that was not a blurted that's that's pretty damning isn't it well look Monday Monday Monday they're going to have the report from the inspector general of the Justice Department right or what I I'm confident that Mr Horowitz is report is going to have done a fine all kinds of things that should never have been done to include tapping the phones of people and recording things that they shouldn't record all those things done by bad people in our government makes draining the swamp absolutely essential it's a cesspool and unfortunately we don't have enough good people in the House of. Senators until the next election and 2020 we're going to have to replace these guys these guys have been after this president since the day he won the election now they began plotting this the day he was elected and shocking as it is there's a long litany of things that Mrs Clinton who is running his opponent committed and the American people reflected that in their votes well that's going to change it if you talk to Howard Stern yesterday makes it sound like she's still running because then she gets the speaking gigs and she can sell her book and the whole bit but maybe by Monday that won't be quite so much when that report comes out we'll watch very closely you know all right I'm going to fall over North dot com The book is the riflemen riflemen Book dot com will take you right to it and have a great Christmas we'll talk to Susan Levy about it thank you brother and then provide that care and 760 talk and breaking news we've been doing stuff together and Ali and I said thank 188 I was 7 but that's that's the scope of that at any rate coming up crosstalk in a minute here am 760 talk and breaking news life source of water is going to make you happy to talk about a great gift every since we've got a gift for the whole family this is really something the whole family will enjoy whole house delicious clean great tasting water and not just a filter system for your drinking water protect your water based appliances from scale build up and treat hard water life source water the whole house system the 1st whole house filtration water system to use no salt there's no salt the 1st one to do that the system is no maintenance no salt to add no filters to change no muss no fuss just great tasting great feeling water and know that because we have it it is the absolute best made to change why because it's the longest lasting system on the market certified to last 4 times longer than any other whole house filter system life source water they get your customized water solution for your home from friendly factory Representatives man they know their stuff Jim came out and installed our system learned so much of the.

The verdict this term of the guy to look just a man that there was until just a man whose body was found in not drum so they're referring to this as the drummer Timothy John Cook charged with the September 30th murder as 2017 of his housemate Omar Medina So they're in their court right now with Jim there was a verdict and it didn't help probably have that coming up or just very guilty very guilty well that at that it appealed it appeared to be that way so that just came down moments ago which precluded your your little t.v. Hit there so that's a little t.v. That it was short so that as you know a lot of time to think about what went on. With that Ok I'm not sure that's leaving fair one isn't anywhere near lies if in addition to all the other things going on the articles of impeachment all that there's another deadline that they have to do December 20th and what they know is us the government going to run out of money again Ok I think they kicked that down right they kicked the can down for a month right before Christmas because nothing says the Christmas season more than you're all going to die you're going to run out of no government checks that's right so stop gap measure got to kick it don't want to take it up to Groundhog Day Maybe they'll send it to Super Tuesday primary day. You know what you working on today might well we had some 2nd I mean stuff to talk about. The Supreme Court. Dealing with the carry it's unloaded carries a New York Yeah but then so is the New York City's dealing with whether or not you can carry an unloaded want in around locked and unloaded outside of the city it always begs the question how do we enforce this stuff you have murders and rapists running for you have you have all kinds of evil doing nerdy wells one way or another there's not enough and I know in New York they have lots of like 40000 cops in New York City they're everywhere maybe not as much under de Blasio But you know they can inspect any in everything any and everything and then to bring it home we have standing city council voting on. Laws about how you king must store your weapon in your home again how enforce that you know it's just thinking about all this one as over the clock story yesterday I was doing another one of my training sessions with with Matt the trainer personally what we were learning how to how to clear rooms yesterday that's good really good stuff what a hand I coronation are. Going to stay gun fit gun safe that's that's important as I never talk to the author of that book I think I teased a little bit last a couple days ago the man who voluntary to become a prisoner at Auschwitz Oh yeah yeah so we do the basics of the story but we have the author on a couple minutes here and he's going to tell us the depth of it why what was he thinking what exactly did he experience and see in the midst of that and he was a spy he voluntarily I mean it's a suicide mission and why would you volunteer to go to Egypt but he did so well that awful story coming up here good stuff as are coming up on the mike Slater show after the after the top of the hour so when the 10 o'clock hour today we heard from the father of Duncan d. Hunter that would be Duncan Hunter Ok Congress for years with him to say Chair of the Armed Services Committee. Well he pointed out again he the political nature of how that started I said I agree with that and that was part of the initial push you had a couple of Hillary fans within the u.s. Attorney's office but then things started to pile. Up and there was admission that some things weren't accounted for who would have wanted him out who was though he was the 1st member of Congress to step up and stand up proudly for Trump when people didn't want to do that they're running for cover as early in the primary but that doesn't take away from the other things but the Duncan Hunter's take on this and we have this post that are also to be posted over on some 60 can't be dot com on our podcast. Is take is that he was found not not guilty of the $59.00 charges and apparently the government called Hunter day saying hey we make a deal we're just going to do this one so it because I think people perceived that it was a deal and he went to them he went to the governmental prosecutors but apparently the other way around and said well does it say anywhere that he is not guilty of the other 59 said no but they dropped it so same thing they said Well as is he going to leave office any time soon and the answer is pretty much no he's going to he doesn't want to be Governor Perry is meeting with Kevin McCarthy another leadership today to discuss they so that may change based on how I would be surprised if he doesn't step down head on that I will say going to be interesting at Mike's later coming up next here's a reminder when you need to know. To say you have 768 he said to you go. These new c.b.s.

President Donald Trump with the start of hearings seen as a precursor to a formal charges being announced within weeks not just so you understand the process if he is impeached it means it goes to trial in the Senate and that's where they have to convict him impeachment doesn't mean your out it means it gets into a trial stage 6 in 10 Americans to said at the beginning of 2019 that this would be the year they finally get in shape according to a recent survey yet 2 in 5 respondents now 40 percent now admit they feel that their tool to get back in the gym in fact a survey of 2000 adults found that on average the age when most of those surveyed felt too old to work out regularly was just get this 41 years old that set. As a reported last night on the show almost a quarter of the young people are so dependent on their smartphones that it becomes an addiction according to psychiatry it's the study from Kings College in London says such addictive behavior means that people become panicky or upset if they are denied constant access I thought we'd bring in our resident psychiatry Dr Peter Breggin to talk about this Peter they get attached to it but I think adults get all this you know shaken when they don't get their phones through you know just that's exactly what I was going to say I mean it's really dickless imagine if these researchers Deneuve their. And this is the so many things wrong with the one thing it's not it's not an addiction it's not a pill it's not changing you know in a physiological way they can you dependent on it it's a way of communicating with people and if you pull that communication plug on all its course it's going to upset him I'm surprised that this if it was just one quarter of the people I thought it would be higher Actually I would think it would be higher for the kids and you know my you my high school and college age face so if they've texting they think it makes the cool and it takes and feel closer to me Well you know it's easier to praeter that Peter than a phone call I you know I know you know if I took is many phone calls as I do text messages during the day I never get anything done. You know I hadn't thought of that George but I think that's absolutely right and jig and you get it done at your own leisure and you have plenty of space in between the things so I think the main and you know one of the thing is Gillis called making these diagnoses and calling it names making it sound like a disease it doesn't deal with what the real issues might be and I think the real issues offer young people and I think it's a relief. For the really young because they're getting so involved in them and their social media that they are not relating to this Hamleys and I relate to their parents their brothers this is. And I think that's the biggest problem and I've seen some very sad cases as in my legal work in particular. Just how much our young people can get very there and know and even see no one knows how long these are how much they use drugs or how anorexic they are except the friends that they're that communicating with and they'll have to promise not to talk to anybody so I think it's an issue of them being too isolated from family you know of the use devices but let's talk about what it's really about and not set up our kids from war disease drugs that's a good point Dr Peter Bergen's called upon in courts to testify because of his background as a psychiatry s. One of his many books guilt shame and anxiety. Well over the last month numerous sightings of snake shaped objects hovering in several places in the United States from Wyoming to Texas have prompted conspiracy theories about the government secretly spying on all of us the Daily Star reports that the claims were fueled by reports about one of them hovering over Dallas Texas what else is going on in the skies Let's check in with Dr sky Steven Kate say Steven what do we have a low George and Happy December to you in the listeners you know we begin with the sons or it's quite interesting this is from the fact book here no sunspots on the visible disk of the sun for 256 days of this year that equates to 76 percent of the year as extra proof that we are now going through one of the deepest solar minimums of all time but looking at solar spacecraft back in the States George in 1995 NASA launched the Soho spacecraft which interestingly enough is still providing great images of what's happening on our nearest star the Sun and for those of you George out there that are looking into the sky when you see the sun right now into the early morning sky just know behind the sun is moving through what many describe as the 13th sign.

And welcome back to coast to coast George Norry with you David polite is back with us as a professional background that includes 20 plus years in law enforcement and senior executive positions in the technology sector back in June of 2012 he was an invited speaker at the 2012 National Association of search and rescues annual conference in South Lake Tahoe the presentation was on the findings of the can and project that were detailed in his original book missing for 11 his latest work is called missing for 11 Canada it is just as frightening as all the other missing 411 books and I had the pleasure a couple weeks ago of being with David in Little Rock Arkansas at the Earth keeper's convention David it was great seeing you there you were swamped George's good to see it and I was it was a really really good crowd they love you they love you out there not only were they packed in your conference room during your session but you were out there with your books and they were all over the place it was but it was great to see you David good to see you too George and not I think I think the response has been favorable over the years just because I'm dealing with just facts and I think that the public appreciates that I think so too and it's scary though it really isn't a Makes you wonder what's going on now tell us how you keyed in on Canada on this latest work well Canada kind of came in around the back door we were doing our our 2nd movie missing for 11 hunted and we were we're doing some shoots at several different sites and several people brought up stories out of Canada just out of the blue and the director Mike De Granger did it a great job in the movie we talked about and he said you know Dave It sounds like there's some interest in Canada you should probably look into it and that. Reinvigorated some investigations I did a couple of years earlier and I was sitting on a lot of cases from that country and it kind of prompted me to to do a little push on it so it started maybe 18 months ago and I finished it maybe a couple months ago but. It has intrigued me as I started to dig into it because as I've told the public before the largest customer missing people in North America is 70 and I know that surprises a lot of people but doing the research the 2nd largest cluster in the world is the Greater Vancouver British Columbia area. And you know when you dig into it it is unbelievably disturbing how close to Vancouver it gets very thick very lush and you're out in the woods quickly and how many people are missing in these little small clusters around the city and there's a there's a look a female cluster is a couple of male clusters and the one commonality to this that I think people need to understand and as I've said every interview I've done with you that water plays a role in this and that bank cover area is just surrounded by lakes rivers and the ocean again a couple Vancouver questions for you in a moment but when you when you were last on with me in June we're talking about missing for 11 the hunted when it came out it's zoomed I'm told a number one on i Tunes International. It went to number one twice and according to the film distributor he said that is almost unheard of Dave and we're very very lucky it's got stellar reviews on i Tunes and Amazon and it's really been appreciated now and I think all the listeners out there that that watched it it's it's still doing really well great good for you and not that keys it on missing hunters and you had interviews with law enforcement you were out there yourself in that area. Just which strange things going on David but the thing about that movie that I think degrades your the director pulled out of it was we got these interviews with straight law enforcement search and rescue personnel so it's not me out there saying these things it's them saying you know this and this was just bizarre how why this guy traveled this amount of miles does it is unexplainable or how this guy was able to get out of a 3 mile search grid it doesn't make sense and then you know view the families and then you talk to friends and relatives and I think it all kind of comes together at the end when Mike and I sat down and we talked about maybe a 100 different stories from people about what they've encountered in the wilderness and I get these stories all the time the strange the unusual and we picked 2 stories where there was scientific basis behind the story to back up the allegations and one was a recording a series of recordings made in the 1970 s. By some hunters up in a Cirrus and those recordings this is way before digital you can manipulate sounds those recordings were given to audio professors at 2 different universities who made some statements about those recordings that they were outside the range of human they've never been heard they aren't mammals of North America it was just really strange. And then the 2nd one dealt with a friend of yours Bruce Maccabee great guy great guy one of the smartest men in the world that I know he's a physicist and one of the family members had a sighting in the woods and it's what happened in conjunction with that sighting and what happened with the phone the phone supposedly took a picture and engineer said well the phone took the picture but the engineer said that's impossible for the phone to take a picture because the way the software the hardware is configured it doesn't make sense because it can't do that but it did it so something really strange happened in those woods and we played those 2 stories up at the end and got great reviews on it. And I got to tell you to David Tim Conway who hosts the yellow cool show on our affiliate in Los Angeles can fire right before I come on in that city I was talking about you tonight and he's just in shock over these disappearances as well have you been following the stories of feet that wash ashore in British Columbia lately you know that's funny you brought that up because there is a section in the book about that and I thought I should address it because I've talked about it in years past and the investigators in the corner say you know there's nothing here you know I think they're up to 19 different feet that have floated up you know the last one had a hiking boot on it you know and they're kind of they say well it's all explainable but they never really identify whose feet these are how they got there and some said they were suicides and they said oh this is just very common the way the foot dislodge is from the body in the water. So I spent maybe 2 weeks and I scoured archives and I could not find any place in the world where more than 2 feet ever floated up anywhere near a city there was one in New York there was one in Chicago there was one in Boston never was never more than one and that area around Vancouver I think has 19 to date that's crazy I know we've tracked 14 of them so far for sure and it's bizarre and I can't believe that people would commit suicide and that their foot would fall off now not not that many people it doesn't make sense and is anybody reporting that their loved ones are gone are are we hearing anything about that David are you well that's that's part of the. Unusual nature of this is that normally law enforcement is reluctant to say anyone is endangered for suicide you must never hear about that they're reluctant to put that on the person in case they don't commit suicide Let's say so they'll just say oh the person's missing under unusual circumstances or the person is missing and endangered that's another figured statement but in reality the r.c.m.p. Is very close mouth about this and a series of other things and another one is the highway of tears up in northern British Columbia where there's a series of Native American women who have disappeared over the last 3540 years they've got a task force working on that for the last 10 years and they still haven't arrested anybody but they won't say much about it so let's get some high points over what you've seen overall with these missing people in Canada and elsewhere what are some of the similarities that we have here beginning with the dogs that try to track these missing people. So George if I set you down in a room with 50 search and rescue reports and I asked you to read him at the end of a couple hours you come back c.s.o. What you know a lot unusual things there but if I gave you 10 years to study the topic and you read say between 5007000 reports certain points would we glean out he was saying oh those are unusual and what I started to do way back when was I started to put these stacks in my living room of unusual things and one of the points that came out right away is that when they brought their canines or bloodhounds to the scene of a missing person if it was like a 99 percent on the cases that we've identified the dog will either walk in a circle and lay down or they'll walk the trail 5 feet turn around and come back she's now when I was on the swat team we had the king and assigned us. And those dogs like to search that behavior in a search in Kenai is not normal That's right they're bred for searching exactly and in many of the conferences I've gone to I've had handlers come up to me and go do nobody want to talk about this but it's happened and it's it's very confusing because that's normal that's not normal behavior for the dog and as long as there's a close proximity from the time the person disappears to the time the dog is on scene there's a risk there should be a real good scent trail to follow Now the other part of that is that there are many of the search and rescues that bring professional trackers to the scene now in those instances where the communities can track trackers can't find evidence of anyone leaving the area which is also strange it is strange to the dogs show any fear or anything like that we'll talk about that and much more when we come back on coast to coast am.

And welcome back to coast to coast Georgia Nori with you along with David politeness we're talking about his latest work missing 411 the Canada he also has a phenomenal movie out called missing for 11 The Hunted David before the break I was about to ask you if the animals to canines that are professionals at what they do for sensing. Do they look scared do they you know run away. No the ducks won't run away but they will come right back to the master and the handler and effect several stories directly from the search and rescue blogs talk about the dog coming back in cowering between the handlers legs which is not normal behavior and when I've talked to handlers at conferences before they said yeah this is I found 3 where this is happened to them and I think when you talked about me presenting it's a search and rescue conference this are things that search and rescue people don't like to talk about and privately they'll talk about it endlessly but publicly they don't like to and at several conferences I've been to the people stood up in the middle or at the end of the conference after I'm done talking and they thanked me for being somebody who's willing to break in talk the topic where most people won't and in it this one conference these 2 Alaska state troopers got up and actually said if this happens more than people want to acknowledge we found no bodies we find no tracks and we found no scent trail and they said finally someone is willing to talk about this and they said it's happening in Alaska with like to know where else it's happening and then we start to talk about the other states and I've written about amazing Let's let's talk about some possibilities to let me throw some things your way because though you're very hesitant in telling us over the years exactly what you think might be doing and you do give us the possibilities of what's out there let me some of these your way and just tell me if they would be a possibility or not for these missing people the 1st would be their They're merely lost they vanish they wander off and they get lost possible. So I think because the search and rescue is so fundamentally structured and thorough that I don't believe this is it there's too many times where I've written about where the person disappears and the area is put into grits and these grids are searched multiple multiple times sometimes with dogs lots of times searchers walking shoulder to shoulder and they don't find anything and then on the 8th or 9th day they're about ready to pull out of a sudden the body shows up in the middle of the grid where they've searched it multiple multiple times this makes no sense and in fact it's one of those profiled points found in an area previously searched how the person got there how they were missed see I don't think search and rescue missed him I think somehow they just arrived back at after the fact correct yes abducted by some person some serial killer some sick all out there in the woods again I think the central would be there I know that tracks leaving the area would be there. I would ask me this before I don't Colorado I'm in the mountains all the time I'm one of those guys secure a gun wherever I go in the mountains and if something like this happened I know that there's a large percentage of people in the mountains where I have to carry guns you know they've been abducted it was debt abducted by a u.f.o. So that's been brought up to me hundreds of times by I talk to move on conferences all the time and people bring this up to me all the time. It's that's something that I can decline and something I can assume does happen because most of the time there's something evidentiary that's left behind but the weird part about the people in the cases I write about when they're interviewing post disappearance by the search and rescue people and by law enforcement they can't remember how they got lost and how they made their way back and a large percentage of the cases this is those with the weird part is that there's no cause of death in the victims that's there that is bizarre. When I 1st tried to write about this in my 3rd book missing for one want to sobering coincidence I had a series of corners write to me and talk to me and fact I met with 2 of them and he said Dave we have 9 different corners that work out of this office and we regularly have meetings and we run into this you know every quarter every 3 or 4 months. He says it's bizarre he said we don't understand it we're men of science ladies of science and we can't figure this out something really odd is happening because people just don't die for any reason there's always a reason and we can't figure that out next possibilities are snatched by an animal or a Bigfoot type creature so one of the one of the issues that we do in all of the cases before all I'll take them on to investigate them is go through this vetting process 1st of all the animal predation So if you go online and you pull the filters off Google or Yahoo and you put in animal predation and look at images the scene is grotesque there's blood there's torn clothing there's marks across the ground where bodies are dragged it's an unmistakable scene that someone's been attacked by an animal you cannot miss and you can there's blood everywhere it's a mass exactly and when people are attacked especially near others they'll scream and they're yell and a lot of the cases I write about the parents say my child was right there meaning very close to them and they said we didn't hear a sound we didn't hear anything well let's just say I'm out mine jumped a little boy they'd be screaming and yelling and everyone would do you hear the lion you hear the little boy ever you know it would be just horrible Exactly so that's animal predation if there's any mental health issues we won't work it. Coupled with voluntary disappearance if somebody just wants to even an adult just wants to run away from their bows and check out that's right right this is not against the law but we won't work that and then if there's any evidence of criminal activity and this is something that search and rescue looks for this is what what the want for some people on scene also look for is there's something criminal that took place in those mountains did the hunters partner kill him Did something happen in the mountain and stand. Well if that was the case it would be in the reports and you know my years of doing this is only a couple of times where I ever saw that there was something criminal and people were later arrested for it but any evidence of criminality we won't work at either so there's that vetting process that you're looking for to exclude anything that may be a match suicide of course they'd end up finding the body somewhere when they generally generally that yes that's true I mean a lot of times that's a that's a spur of the moment thing and other times people really want to go into the back country and there are those instances where they never do find a body right there's no it's a psych is it left a note that does happen that's true here's my favorite they are somehow stumbling into a portal or another dimension never to be seen again that's an interesting one and George and since I'm a man of science I believe that we should look at all of these possibilities and I made him a 2 hour special food History Channel called Vanished you can watch it on Amazon right now I think and they sent me to Madison Wisconsin and I met with a physicist John Brennan Berg and he's going to use it on the show good guy good guy really good guy who wrote his Labadee at the university and we were talking through all these different things and he said Dave says people don't understand us but portals are real he said there's 6 businesses 5 or 6 physicists that regularly get together and we talk these things through and there's a couple of them that are working for other countries trying to you weaponize a portal and what I asked them off camera and I don't know why this never made the show but I said so could portals be directed. That's the 1000000 dollar question Dave interesting and I think this is the important part George is that when a small child is near a parent and the parent doesn't see or hear or smell anything and the child disappears how can that happen without leaving tracks drag marks exactly exactly that's why it's like a portal possibility maybe the biggest or the best one brand of bricks a day 500 percent there factual he said and just as a side note Brandenburg now works for NASA So that's right super credible. And he said Yeah because all of the cutting edge theoretical physicists in the world talk about this all the time and if he goes I can't tell you more about it because we don't understand a lot about it but he goes what you're saying Dave is probable and then you know I think I've told you this before but I have a lot of interesting stories that are told me by people in the woods and one was told to me last about 3 years ago by a hunter in Colorado and he was hung up at 11000 feet in a meadow and he kind of had his head down he said he was getting tired walking back to his car going down a trail and he kind of saw fog bank or something up in front of him so I kind of pulled his head up and looked and said it was strange because I kept walking closer to it and it's Didn't look like a fog back and almost look like a sheet of glass. And he said he will slow down as he got close to it because darned if it didn't look like glass but it also looked like fog so he picked this foot up and put his foot partially through it and he said Mike my foot went through in the part that went through I couldn't see wow like a Twilight Zone movie where you put your hand in the other dimension and this guy he works in law enforcement super credible and he said if I turn around and I I literally ran from there because of a not right well we've just gone through 7 scenarios are there any others I'm missing so I think you hit all the biggies George and those are I mean every once in a while I do get one where people think it's the government and I don't think that's so obscene but even if it is how are they taking them and that's a good point and in my talks with Brandenburg he said you know David we got we talked about all kinds of things for 3 hours but he was talking about start Startrek and he says you know that the transponders that move people point to point is a did I think we're not far away from being able to do that now in conventional physics but he said Who knows if we may be 50 years ahead and another group with advanced science that could do it right now and when you talk about that theoretical physics if they could manipulate the human genome like that and move the place to place. Then it could say that our government could be doing this well let's go back to the portal dimensional theory for just a moment and that is if they go through these Where do they go to it's all speculation and are they still alive or what happens to them. I mean if they landed in another place where they can eat and you know be merry and just simply say oh my god I can't find my way back so when skinwalker ranch was gone and the National Institute of discovery sciences had their people on scene with a series of writing and our buddy George Knapp was all over that story right they saw a window frame open up on the horizon something jump out of the window frame down under the meadow and run away when the frame closes and the atmosphere in the sky is back to the way it was normally so in my conversations with Randy Byrne I said was that a portal or what is that that's a good question to what was that because we've heard those stories hundreds of times from other people so what could that be bizarre and you know you just mentioned something about directional portals if you can direct them what if there are doomed beans some kind of beans in these other dimensions and they're grabbing these people for whatever reason to these directional portals Let's pick up the skin Let's pick up this guy let's pick up this woman and they aim this this portal to them and they stumble into it and they keep on. But I remember John Mack this psychiatrist from Harvard University God rest his soul he was a great guy and he did research into abductions and Dr Mack came back with the reality statement that hey these are real These people are going through something that the general public doesn't want to acknowledge and you must lost his tenure at Harvard because he attacked a very unconventional topic very conventionally So I think that all these things George are kind of open game until somebody with great knowledge is beyond us comes forward and explains how it's being done David let's talk about missing for 11 candidate I will talk about it again next hour and we'll take some phone calls with you too as people are just fascinated with this subject what did you conclude what have you discovered about Canada specifically the British Columbia Vancouver area so with an 80 mile radius of downtown Vancouver there's more than 30 people that have disappeared and various clusters in that region and there's one specific amount that we'll talk about next hour that is 10 miles from downtown Vancouver and there's been a series of disappearances there over the years on a 4000 foot mountain top that is completely unexplainable and the frustration of search and rescue not finding any clothing bodies water jugs nothing to explain how the people literally vanished into nothingness. And it's just not that one location but there's multiple And since this book originally came out which this tonight is the actual release date of it George is I put some early releases out to some friends up in that area and all of those people have stated that the number of people missing outside of that general Vancouver area is something nobody wants to talk about nobody wants to acknowledge and as I was talking to a friend Rainey precent 2 days ago he was out in the field yesterday searching for an older man who disappeared just outside of middle Ridge British Columbia and he wasn't found Jesus stitches so bizarre Julie is now these 30 people that are missing in the Vancouver area over what period of time David so we have cases that that match the profiles going back to the 1940 s. And 1950 s. Going all the way up until well just you know within days ago but when I go through in with you it up you know just be bizarre there's one quick example is the Olympic Peninsula of Washington the water called the Strait of the want to Phooka between the Olympic National Park area and Vancouver Island there's a series of little boys that are disappeared on the coast of the Olympics in the last 3040 years. On the other side of that water on Vancouver Island there's a series of young boys and men that have disappeared also it's never women it's always young boys and young men and the only thing that separates this is a swap body of water called the straight a wander Phooka and the way I figured this out as I started mapping all the disappearances and in this book you get a 24 by 36 inch geographical cluster map of British Columbia showing all of these disappearances and really once you see it on a map George it's even more uncomfortable It's it's bizarre when you see you sent me a huge map David with the book and you look at it you know I unfolded the sign and it's like looking at a movie were the law enforcement puts a little. Pins where everybody's missing and it's very bizarre Well talking to my friends up in British Columbia they said the news doesn't like talking about this law enforcement doesn't like talking about it and nobody has ever put together the entirety of the disappearances an area like this and I'm not even claiming that I've uncovered them all because I can guarantee I haven't it's only been a real strict and heavy archive search that I've been able to find what I have but just like in the United States the r.c.m.p. Doesn't want to talk about this why don't they want to talk about what do you afraid of. In general law enforcement doesn't like to discuss what they don't have answers for that's a good point you just hit it right on the head there David we're going to take a quick break we will come back and talk about more Vancouver disappearances and I assume that mountain top you're talking about is Mt Seymour but we'll get into that missing for 11 cannot as David politeness a book and of course his Web site is linked up at coast to coast am dot com I'm George Norry we will be back in a moment on coast to coast am joined the coast to coast am Facebook page with thousands of members it's great for show updates and connecting with other friends go to facebook dot com slash coast to coast am and click the like button.

Or funny get Iran sell call now 3 to 5 to 9117302529117 we do this of talk not text because it just be too hard to get your information. If you text it right. So the blue coats you know if you left a few years ago and came back you go like blue coats. Now we know they're affiliated with the 76 years. Right. Right like what happened the 87 years Man No no no no no the bluecoats but that's not even who they originally were you know seriously you think about the founding of this team. Just like you might have teams moving from one place to other just like in minor league baseball some of the minor league teams will change affiliation and I think we've got a somebody on the phone who does or I'm going with this. But I'm still going to keep going. Through 2 fives and I was 70 I called out Jay they're called in man because they want to talk to you thanks. So the team was actually founded in 2007 as an affiliate to a team that's not the Sixers. Does that make sense i know i know i ramble when I do these things it's kind of like when I was doing a trivia for a name that Delaware stuff name that Delaware thing I know so so here is the rambling question here the team was founded in 2007 as an affiliate of a team that is not the Sixers. Actually I think that's pretty much the whole thing right yeah so. Be the 1st person right now. Just I just need their 1st name Jay that's just the name No Shawn Green sports director you're not allowed to play I don't even think you're allowed in the studio man but are you going to grade me if I get something wrong is that what you're going to do exactly what I'm here to do right now Ok so it's a minor league team like minor league baseball right correct Ok but they don't call it minor league basketball do they it's the Gili that feeling but they call it a feeling it Program Yes which is kind of annoying because really it's minor league basketball they should call it what it used to it's called the g. League because it's sponsored it used to be the end be a developmental league of the value money yes but then gator got involved so it became the Geale because it gave her a ride and next thing and they could call him l.b. Minor league basketball that would just confuse everybody even minor league baseball's m i l b c one m i l b is it really for trial hang on for 2nd let's get it on dry here so who are they with originally Hey Andre How you doing I know how you go about it was good to. Know but thanks for trying so know how do you know Ok Ok. Now I don't know how to deliver Blue Bombers no better that's why he was thinking of the no a c. We're going the other way with this we're going Ok so what was the. N.b.a. Team the n.b.a. Team that they were 1st affiliated with that's the thing and they were not called the bluecoats and they were not called 87 years and Shonn Greene is over here and it's killing him because as Sports Director of course he would go off course you would know dude of course you would know of course Ok we have more clues here are right so here we go as long as you walked in here I'm going to I'm going to put you to the test here all right this this isn't well for me. Right Ok so. In the 1st season for this team in 2007 guard Morris omened who had been sent down to the dealer league by the n.b.a. Team which name I'm not going to say and you're not either Morris all meant he tied an n b a development like league record with 51 points and they beat the Austin Toros Well they're not as good as the Rio Grande Valley fighters let's let's be perfectly honest they have a cool logo I don't know now that's the thing about minor league teams or developmental teams so you got to have a cool logo and some of them are kind of cool the blue rocks are pretty cool we got blue incl So that's good right and we got Mr Sellery so people like to get Mr Sellery on stuff even though I don't think that comes with time he's not an official mascot which is the really silly thing about all of that I know but that but but we love it we love the story so these guys went out of business or they start in 2007 as an affiliate to one team that's not Delaware. That's not the Sixers rather correct Ok but it was an n.b.a. Team that they were affiliated with right how many more clues we have to give here are you give which conference that team was in I have not go right ahead it is a Western Conference Team Ok so their own team came from the Western Conference at so the Western Conference and so western state yes the n.b.a. Team in question is a Western Conference team begins with a volley. That's just a give away. I was 30 to 5 tonight when I won 75 and I want to win 7 so they're the Delaware Bluecoats now but they were the 87 years which was a play on the 76 years and the fact that Delaware ratified the Constitution and in $87.00 correct so that's right and they waited until 1987 to run. Maybe not so much Ok so here's my question for you by the way on the line is a 4 pack for tickets to go watch the blue coats one of the chances that one of these blue coats or more could actually go up and actually become a sixer Well given the fact that chick Milton was just called up yesterday Friday Bluecoats to join the 76 years that the percentage is high now very high you're talking possible All Star know that that's a little different story but you're going to see some players bouncing back and forth between the Sixers and the bluecoats all year so here's the question it's just like this it's just like the blue rocks the blue rocks or Philly with the Kansas City Royals Yes But however at one point they were affiliated with. They were affiliated with the Boston Red Sox for 2 years as a matter of fact great Boston Red Sox player I have a buy the guys bobble head was also a blue rock and at one point the most famous Blue Rock who is the most famous blue rock I don't think we're on the same page on this one who went to play for Boston you very much could be Ellsbury No I'm not someone else well they were like he was the best he was the best Boston Red Sox blue rock I wasn't really the best Ok There's no you're going to Johnny Damon he was he was with the Royal using the royals organization he was not in the service or morals see I see I do you read whatever wrong with Johnny Damon thank you good enough to see Brett Sox But after he was traded through Kansas there and there but he did go through that he didn't play for the Red Sox and he did but he did not go with the blue rocks with the blue rocks but what I'm saying is he was the one to blow Roxy with the rose and went to the Boston Red Sox and he's much celebrated except when he went to the Yankees than he angered both sides of the rivalry and the whole thing but we followed away from the point here we're still looking for the the key to what was the team the n.b.a. Team with which the predecessor of the original Blue Blue Coats was affiliated 3025 and I won 7 where we got Jay on the fall and he says he knows the answer so we'll get to Jay But then I have I have more questions because of that we got more questions. How did I and I'm going to tell you Ok so it was the bluecoats art is the bluecoats and with the Sixers it was 87 ers with the Sixers right but before that it was a different team with a different n.b.a. Team. So I don't want to go home how is your daughter. And she just gave you the answer I heard her say the engine go ahead give us the answer. They play to you you would do it where you thought believed they were that you yes. Actually right now what's your daughter's name Mari Mari good job helping daddy because I said I never heard her say I know I heard her say back there in a child's car in a child seat so way to go well we watch a basketball Thank you well congratulations and now you have 4 tickets to go enjoy the Delaware Bluecoats any time you'd like to for as long as you're allowed to I don't know I'm sorry this is Game Is On December 6th or so it's like where this week this Saturday right the 5th so even Saturday Saturday Ok yeah so we'll figure it out we'll make it work better test it all right hold the phone Jay get the energy so we got this j. We got another j.j. Talk to Jay and go ahead and get those tickets to him so the maro do it again now Sean Sean Green a sports director here w o an 11517 f.m. Streaming live a double beating of icon touchdown Wesley. Could you go on to that is it didn't do a whole lot of that yes on Saturday Sadly no you didn't but not a touchdown to lower valleys though you do have the legendary touchdown Wesley call Yeah my voice is shot and I'm glad don't do it until September All right so here's here's what what I know just because because I read it Ok so these guys who have the flash with the Utah Jazz. They had like they were doing great they were number 2 in attendance they had like 100000 fans averaging 4200 per game in 201-2011 but they couldn't keep it going and they folded up so that was of 2011 they folded up in 2013 the Sixers got a hold of them called the number 87 years and I think you interviewed Brandon Williams who is the the 1st general manager of the team Now here's what I would I don't know how do they become the bluecoats. They decided they didn't they wanted to change the entire branding when they went from Newark to Wilmington so they decided to go from the Delaware thing you know this just changed things up entirely when they when they moved a little closer to Philadelphia as they were playing at the Bob the bottom Carpenter Center and then they built this huge big honking facility out here by the river front as they want to be closer to Philadelphia now you're what 18 miles away whatever the math works and still lousy rotten stink and no good access to the highway but yes the state's getting better don't tell them it's getting better to be getting better they have to do new on an exit ramp is going to get better but they're working on the bridge into the into the river front they are going to be right down to 495 once that intersection gets built and they need that and then one more thing for traffic watch to report on. Me is a flood zone so when I see how that works out there's a lot All right so that was it just a matter of rebranding when they want to come to a brand new facility over here yeah they did just decide of the hat Caesar the Fox He had all these things associate with the $87.00 or shift mix things up try to create a whole new fresh start and see if that could spark a little more interest into the team and that's right a change there's no more season to Fox You know I don't know what I don't know who their their new mascot is but that to me the the thing that's going to make that work is either a kid from Delaware playing on the team right or a blue hen that's incredibly popular playing on that team and they have not been able to pull off either of those 2 things yet why do you think what do you what do you mean what do you think I would actually do well you would get people who would come specifically for the player now what you have are the general I like basketball fans I want to see a lower priced n.b.a. Game there's still a lot of athleticism there's more athletic talent there than even for the undefeated Blue Hens who Rockaway are trying to go 190 today yeah and received a vote in the Associated Press top 25 poll for the 1st time since 1999 are you one of the voters so you why have you not one of the voters has not my vote you know play me for that I. No I'm asking I didn't know that you know but they did receive a poll that for the 1st time each of them under 19 you've been on the Heisman committee so I was just one of maybe you're on this committee I'm not on that committee Well they you should be. White No one knew why this all of the 30 voters in the country get what the 30 most knowledgeable college basketball gods he had no he really he had a lot of high school get I cover high school basketball my feet get a lot I hate e-mail when that when this happens is that you know what I made Howard number one instead of your original my school football you know that went well for about a week. Well good real well for your call turned into a great See championship game on Saturday where I might add exactly and who won Howard Yeah the 15 and who did you pick Howard there you go boom baby boom right that's a I still to be careful going down the green wooden bridge built so perfectly I know but still the response online is thank you for listening. Thank you for giving me something on my locker room wall not. Lovely All right man so anyway they went from the Western Division to the Eastern Division and now the bluecoats are in the Atlantic Division so they're going to it's a lot of fun and it's an affordable game if you are a fan of the n.b.a. Product it is a very similar product to the n.b.a. a Lot of high flying dunks and players whose names you might recognize if you follow college basketball highest level they had ordered name point guard last year that was on the team that had players and sag and they've had players from North Carolina so you know some of those players they're just in that 2nd level yeah I mean those are the players are playing in the g. League trying to keep their careers alive and and trust me they can play some basketball while there are people calling for a minor league for basketball for decades and that's the problem is they said well we don't think we can get the money don't think we get a sponsorship while there is there's the flash affiliated with the Utah Jazz and by the way it was 2. 21000 fans who voted on that is the name they get 100000 people their number 200000 people 201-2011 and still they couldn't get the sponsorship they want under the time it wasn't quite right out there I think they'll obviously say the fan base the bluecoats would love to have 4000 fans a game that arena can hold 4000 people but now every team I believe it's 30 of the $3028.00 of the 30 or $29.00 of the 30 now have g league teams so Utah probably has a replacement to the flash that they didn't have in 2011 so that in the time it was just absolutely perfect for for Wilmington the new ark to get a team they said Gentlemen Shonn Greene sports director I am 1151 I want to out if I'm going to come and all of affiliated platforms to say the All State High School football team will be released at 6 o'clock tonight on w d l dot com We'll be listening.

On am 115117 am devotees. But you can totally understand if someone says Wow. Bernier Elizabeth Warren is going to. Offer free childcare Yes. While I was reading. This guy Derek Thompson of the Atlantic he says well there are 3 broad reasons obtaining care for kids now cost as much as buying a brand new 100 by a lantern every year maybe not quite that much and lower but some places Oh yeah absolutely I mean so much money so expensive I. I was actually talking about this a little bit not any depth with the young lady whose whose baby the 3 month old was was crying at the Verizon store and I had one of those moments you know you do this you have one of these moments you go like wow that is so cool . And I just got I just going to tell you before I get into this so. We were talking and she said Well she's very lucky that she has family she lives in Pennsylvania fairly small town. And this is her 3rd child so she had no problem handing it over to a stranger would which is what she did well she's very blessed with child care like I said as she's got to get her mom and she has her mother in law and they're they're all there the help out and that's a nice thing not everybody has that as for handing over the child so this is the thing I want to share with you because 1st of all I can't sing at all I'm terrible and 2nd of all for most of my life whenever I looked a little kid they look at me and look at my face and start screaming. And the joke was don't give the child the Jeanson just scream and cry I'm not kidding that was the way it was for so long so so on was it Saturday. I'm sitting down we're going to phone and we're chatting and the baby started 3 month old to start crying and this woman is juggling documents and her old phone the stuff we're going to sales rep and I did something that I normally don't do because I was I don't want to be like creepy you know but but I care and so I said Would you like me to hold him and she goes Ok fine then and now I'm holding this 3 month old cradling him perfectly in my arms because I have experience and he's crying and so the only thing I know to do is to rock I'm a little bit and I start singing this song called Prairie lullaby I'm not going to do it on the air now if you want to get a really good rendition of it you Google Leon Redbone prairie law by its size a song used to sing to my daughter when she was very very little a lot and I play or the record because you know he's better well I sang the song and the baby's stops crying and his eyes are starting to close and I keep singing the song prairie by and I'm singing the song to the guy and next thing I know he's asleep I looked up. And there were like about 40 people in the store little tiny horizons store right and I'm looking at these people and half of them are just looking at me with smiles of gratitude like really do you did that thank you because he was crying you know and crying baby in the store and I just looked up glass and I looked back down thinking Don't say anything man don't blow this don't ruin so good so there you go and then and then she was done with the sales rep she took the baby he started crying again everybody looked over she gave him a bottle and that was it it's. Help that's what moms want more than anything in the world dads to yes I know I'm being. Generous to about the whole thing moms and dads they want help so when you hear of Bernie Sanders as with Warren saying ah free child care yes is it resonates course you start doing the math in a crunching and you realized why your taxes are going to go up that much anyway so here in the us your per child spending has doubled from the 1970 s. Really to 2013. Sabina Cornish of the universe is 70 and Frank Furstenberg at at u. Penn I stumbled upon this thing University Pennsylvania did a lot of studying on this and wrote a paper on it nothing in parenting has grown faster than per child spending on child care it's increased 2000 percent in 40 years 2000 percent so for those of you who are about to have a baby or have kids it really sucks to be you more and more women entered the labor force in the late 20th century and when they did all this work for caring for infants moved from the unpaid world of stay at home parents to the world of salaried labor in the 1970 s. And eighty's the 2 decades when the female labor participation rate grew the fastest also saw the greatest Excel aeration in child care spending and for those of you had kids in those years. You may also recall changes in in licensing regulations so you may have had a friend who said hey you know what we're going to build little playground out here and we've got a lot of room we can probably take care of I don't know 6 kids maybe 8 hire a couple people part time to help out you saw what happened with them was they had to increase how much they were charging you even as friends be out because the regulations in the training and I'm not saying it's not necessary because you know they're watching some precious cargo here and we've even seen some instances thankfully few when you'll have somebody abusive at the daycare moms and dads I applaud you I'm so glad that you're putting these spy cameras into teddy bears and things like that and I think that. I know that most of the day care is now actually have cams so you can check in and make sure everything's cool and I think they should all do that but child care spending is unlike any other spending it's getting more expensive faster than just about any other consumer good or service that's tracked by the government Census Bureau found that child care expenditures rose more than 40 percent from 1990 to 2011 and that's when middle class wages were stagnating right. Since the 1990 s. Childcare costs are grown twice as fast as overall inflation. California if you're thinking of moving the California consider this the cost of a typical average daycare center is now equal to almost half of the median income of every single mom out there. The average cost of a full time child care program in the United States gets so all across the u.s. The average is $16000.00 a year that's where they get the Hyundai Elantra 16 grand and more in some states so there are some of you who have her spend a lot of money on child care about this much and then you look at the tuition of a private school and go like well I'm already spinning on child care let's get to Lindsay at 3 o 25 tonight 101710 so how are you Rick oh god what are you doing very good you have a good Thanksgiving yes you too yeah very good and your guilty this morning right for all that you eat right and not i'm just fatter and then I brought more pi to work but. You know I did it quick quick story I had my 1st child in 76 and I'm looking at the birth notices and on that page right next door to that it's said if you had a child that day and you train that child to go to the potty within the normal amount of time. You will spend $15000.00 if you choose to use diapers. Supposable diapers so that's what they that's what they said not only that but my wife and I both have Blue Cross insurance at that time and. The joke of it was she was covered for maternity and we thought well it be good to go in and get. Ice and insurance policy for the family so that we could you know all be covered they sold Blue Cross sold us the policy and when the baby came I looked at the insurance the docs in and with 0 because the policy that we had that would have covered this were not enforced but the new policy had to be end for 12 months. Good girl and because when we went in with the big belly when you do and she said I'll probably within the month. She told us the policy and of course the good old insurance company got away with it did they no no lawyers no hey we're terribly sorry even gosh we should cover you because you had a policy with us where she was covered and then we sold you want I mean that's the kind of thing you go to the insurance commissioner on right there oh I did I've now I lived in Boston Massachusetts at the time and I went to the insurance commissioner and he said Well it's pretty plain you know you you forfeited the policy that would have covered that child but the policy that you have had to be enforced for 12 months so you know you should a known better I said you have a agent physically asked me When do you do and it would have been only prudent to say hey maybe you want to wait till after the child is born right that's. And then then the so and as far as day care goes I look at it this way a lot of these women that go out to work they're going to work you know some want to get out of the house with the baby but by the same token they're spending more money in many cases than they are making to send the child to daycare so it's a real bad thing because the kids are being brought up by people who don't have. That direct blow for them at their work they might put a pillow over your kid's head like no no no no I don't even don't even joke like that na na na na guys are a joke like that I know it's there was horrible that that happened horrible it's so horrible Oh my God And you know what honestly because I'm going to push back on that what I know people in the business and they're so sweet and loving that the vast majority would never do that that was. And now my wife my wife is was a day care person act one because she loves kids of all kinds so but there are those places where yeah your freight your friends are not going to get the care and that they really deserve that that's true I mean that's that's a hard thing to do is to shop for daycare and you think you've got a good spot and they'd better have a camera in there so you can look at it with every chance you get Right right exactly you know good good good program today thank you sir appreciate the god bless Thanks Lindsay it's 3025 to 9117511017 yeah that's a real buyer beware I mean what do you do when the agent even said oh yeah don't worry about it you're covered really. Well met us not what's said what's matters is what's written and most people don't even read all that stuff so getting back to child care and 3 reasons broad reasons why it costs so much now. Childcare workers are not expensive on an hourly basis really I mean they're not paid very much generally they're not page a lot I mean median hourly wages if you look at this around the country is less than that of janitors and non farm animal caretakers and things like that you know labor is though the biggest line item for childcare facilities they cannot cut spending by moving labor to you know Mexico or China or something like that no it's going to happen right here so those costs continually rise faster than overall inflation because it's just like health care and education child care requires lots of domestic salaries and the industry is highly regulated maybe reasonably so considering. You know the vulnerability of these these there are little kids you know Yet you want the best you want people going to take care of these kids and the regulation really is the number 2 driver of child care costs Jordan Weissmann has a story in The Atlantic and assist states with strict labor laws tend to have the most expensive facilities in Massachusetts they require one caregiver for every 3 infants. And the average annual cost there is actually more than $16000.00 and Mississippi they allow a wonder 5 ratio the cost of us and $5000.00 but I would not say that you know Mississippi is horrible and terrible just because we often make fun of Mississippi I mean one in 51 in 51 in 3 you'd rather have one in 3 but sheesh 16 grand a year here's your thing to others high turnover in this business so now you've That's because of low wages so now. The owners and managers have to constantly train new workers and they have to meet all these tough regulatory standards plus they've got a lot of insurance man I mean you've got p. And c. To cover damage to the property of work or injuries your word is cop in the legal fields to deal with what some researcher I was quite surprised researchers are saying. The inevitable parent lawsuits really yeah there are attorneys that will charge you an annual fee. Just to cover you in the event that you have one of these what they call in the middle parent lawsuits and then there's a real estate the most expensive childcare facilities seem to be situated near high income neighborhoods or in commercial districts you drop the kid off a nice place it's highly rated clean smart fun people right there near where you work that's why allow these companies contract with big employers and then they too can rent some retail I'm sorry rent Rent some commercial space near there and have the whole thing there it costs a lot of money to actually upgrade that and rehab it so they can take care of kids yeah and you can't just downsize real quick because most states require them to have a certain amount of square footage for each kid too. So the typical family paying for any child care spends about 10 percent of their income on it. Patagonia Apple Google I'm sure there's some places here in Delaware to do it I can't think off the offhand who does like in Wilmington and such but they offer day care centers for employees or to pay for back up they care if the 1st option falls through and things like that but there are all these startups like Vivie. Because people wonder what's the solution what's the answer I don't know I think the have to find that solution and I have to find that answer because the government's I help me on this at all there's a company called Vivi vi v.i.i.

This is Fresh Air I'm Terry Gross after Donald Trump was elected but before he was inaugurated Buzz Feed published a leaked document that became known as the steel dossier a series of memos written by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele suggesting Russia had been cultivating supporting and assisting Trump and that according to several sources Russia had compromising information that could be used to blackmail trump this dossier had been commissioned by fusion g.p.s. a Private research company providing research for law firms and corporations as well as opposition research for political candidates fusion was 1st hired to investigate Trump during the primary by the Republican news site The Washington Free Beacon after Trump won the primary the law firm representing Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee started funding fusions research into trump my guess are the founders of fusion g.p.s. Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch their former Wall Street Journal reporters some of the Russians who surfaced in the Trump investigation where people Simpson and Fitch had reported on at the Wall Street Journal while investigating Russian corruption and organized crime Simpson and Fitch have written a new book called crime in progress about their investigation into trump its impact and Republican attempts to discredit fusion g.p.s. And the steel dossier Glenn Simpson Peter French welcome to Fresh Air What were some of the findings in your report and in the steel dossier that you considered to be the most important early warnings of Donald Trump's ties to Russia. The truth is Chris steel came into this project about 9 months when we started looking at Donald Trump and his relationship to Russia as part of a much broader project which was looking at Donald Trump's business where. As has been reported we 1st started working for about. Wilkins about 9 months in we started working with Chris steel Now we saw a lot in the early going that caused us to have concerns about Donald Trump's relationship with Russia 1st we saw his relationship with Felix Satre Felix Ater is a Russian emigre to the u.s. Who was working with Donald Trump and importantly work with him in the f l group which developed among other properties the Trump Soho you know this is an individual who was went to prison for slicing someone's face open with a margarita glass who later then was convicted of stock fraud this is all in the ninety's so that caught our attention to see him with a business card occupying an office and Trump Tower and carrying a business card with Donald Trump's company name on it and then we found a number of properties inside Trump Tower itself that were occupied by convicted an alleged organized crime figures from Russia you know we also just saw a pattern of investments coming into Donald Trump's properties and to Don Trump personally the other sort of interesting data point in the early going was the transaction in Palm Beach involving a Russian oligarch by the name of Dmitri rubble of love and part of my pronunciation he is a poet hash magnate with the fertilizer sort of king of Russia he bought Donald Trump's mansion in the mid 2000 for about $95000000.00 when it was on the market for $45000000.00 That was a really suspicious transaction to us so anyway there's some some of that and just some of our research regarding his business led us to want to know more about Russia which is how we started working with Christopher Steele and what was Christopher Steele doing when you approached him and who tells how Christopher Steele has for people who don't know just Chris and I were introduced around 2010 and we met through some issue of friends who knew of our shared. Tristen Russian corruption and kleptocracy. Chris is a Russia specialist we are a real generalists fusion and so when this project began moving towards Russia and we began to feel like there were some really significant only answered questions about what he don't trump was doing in Russia and why he seemed to be involved with so many figures from the former Soviet Union and we began to work with the Democrats in the spring of 2016 we decided to ask Chris to help us out and to see if you could poke around in Russia in Moscow to try to get answers to some of those questions and he had worked for British intelligence at the Russian that. Was the the term that they use there is the lead Russian ist. He sensually ran the Russia desk at headquarters in London after having served previously in Moscow around the time of the fall of the Soviet Union he is a fluent Russian speaker and reader it's essentially his life's work so just to get straight how your work has been funded both by Republican interests and Democratic interests just briefly explain for us the source of your funding through this whole project that you've had investigating tramp Russia tax. In this late summer of 2015 I connected with a Republican political operative who I knew was going to probably be involved in the presidential campaign in the primaries and I asked him if he would be interested in research on Donald Trump and he said yes that eventually led to us being hired formally by a newspaper Russian called the Washington Free Beacon which is a conservative website. And so we worked for this conservative Web site doing this research for about 7 months. As the primaries wound down and it became obvious that Donald Trump was going to be the nominee. They indicated to us that the project was coming to an end and we begin to think that given what we found out about Donald Trump and the concerns that it raised we should probably continue to do this work for the other side and so who hired you from the Democrats so we were hired eventually by Perkins kui a law firm and an attorney there named Mark Elias mark represents both the Democratic National Committee and Hillary the Hillary Clinton campaign at the time he is also in that law firm represents a lot of Democratic politicians so let's go back to your work with Christopher Steele the former British intelligence officer who was a Russia expert answers so he compiled a series of memos that came to be known as the steel dossier tell us some of the things in those memos you think have been most important in revealing information that was validated about Russia or Russia's connections to the. One think the single most important thing that comes out the dossier which is really in the 1st memo was that. The Kremlin was planning meant running an operation to elect Donald Trump the president States and it was a big operation that involves a lot of different aspects and it was very deliberately designed to elect Trump not just to sow discord in the Us political system although that was a secondary purpose that was really right on target it was an incredibly precious and observation that the us government did not reach until months later. And so much of the. Summer of 2016 we spent trying to stand up and raise concerns raised long arms with other people. It's been a lot of attacks against Chris's work for being unsubstantiated but it doesn't really. Get said enough that in this one central point he was dead right to use a metaphor Terry that are a colleague of ours like 60 years he predicted an attack on Pearl Harbor the Pearl Harbor attack happened in Rector's and then in hindsight a lot of people said well you got the number of zeros wrong you got the direction they were coming in from wrong therefore the document is somehow inherent now that docking was never met meant to be read as a dossier it was a series of contemporaneous intelligence reports right which collectively tell that important story there are other important aspects of these memos that have stood up quite well. They identified about a half dozen people associated with the Trump campaign or the president one way or another who later turned out to in fact be key figures in the surreptitious relationship between Donald Trump and the crim. What's one or 2 of the things in the dasi that proved not to be true. Well as of right now we don't have anything in the dossier that we think has been proven to be untrue various investigations have found that certain things couldn't be proven or disproven. The thing that people most often point to as supposedly disproven Is this a meeting between some trumped campaign officials and Russian spies in or around Prague in the late summer of 2016 that has repeatedly been denied but one of the people who issued the most was your 1st denials was the president's lawyer Michael Cohen who is currently serving time in prison and he was he sued us actually for libel and then shortly thereafter his office was raided by the f.b.i. It's it's important remember you said that he was one of the people at that meeting that's what the memo said that's what the memo said yes thank you right I was saying it's import remember that much of the evidence of these matters lies in a foreign country beyond the reach of u.s. Law enforcement and certainly the reach of Robert Mueller on the Michael Cohen Prague visit in particular what the report actually reports is that Michael Cohen himself claims to have not been there it has as Glenn said the matter just has not been settled if you're just joining us my guests are Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch the co-founders of fusion g.p.s. They're the authors of the new book crime in progress inside the steel dasi and the Fusion g.p.s. Investigation of Donald Trump We'll be right back this is Fresh Air. This is Fresh Air and if you're just joining us my guests are Glenn some sun and Peter French co-founders of fusion g.p.s. And author of the new book crime in progress inside the steel dossier and the Fusion g.p.s. Investigation of Donald Trump. The most famous part or infamous part of the so-called steel dossier the series of memos that Christopher steel assembled for you investigating Russia's interference in our election on Donald Trump's ties to Russia. Was the so-called p tape and this is this is. The tape that several sources told Christopher exists there's no confirmation that this tape exists explain what the p. Tape is for somebody who hasn't been following it. Right so the beauty of as you put it is a recounting of source reporting from Moscow that alleges that Donald Trump in 2013 while he was attending to be Miss Universe pageant that he sponsored. In collaboration with a Russian oligarch. Was in his hotel suite in Moscow at the Ritz Carlton and a was sent to a pair of prostitutes who performed a year or nation show. On top of the bed in the presidential suite at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. In with the purpose being to defile the bed in which Barack and Michelle Obama slept in years earlier. Now Yes Q Since you mentioned several sources. We can't get into sources and methods as we know them but we have strong confidence in the reliability and the well placed or nature of these sources and there were Don't fewer than 7 for that particular anecdote. So obviously this is the most famous part of the so-called dossier and there was some internal debate. Christiane's firm and then subsume that are firm about for what to do about this in terms of the fact that it was. Going to going to distract people from some of the other information that was in the report. And in fact history of this is now shown that. Some of the denials that don't trump was made about this period. Were false. Firstly deny this initially he told James Comey that he didn't spend the night in my house in the hotel that night that turned out to not be true. So there was a conflict between both of you about whether to include the this allegation in your report or not I want you know that's yeah that's no Glen was alluding to there was a dispute I wouldn't call it as. There was a discussion inside or bas that Christopher Steele's firm with his partner who was also a fellow British intelligence officer a former British intelligence officer about whether to include that anecdote and not in the end Chris who is the Russian has thought it was very important to include. For the sake of verisimilitude in the reporting right he wanted to accurately reflect what sources were saying and he did not and he thought it was really important to note that the Russian government could have hard evidence of compromising on the presidential candidate and this is evidence that Christopher Steele feared could be used to basically blackmail Donna Graham correct and in our office we felt that this information wasn't all that significant and could only cause a lot of problems because. It wasn't really something I had much application to the presidential campaign these kinds of unconfirmable stories about someone's sexual past it just doesn't really have much application in a political context. So we were sort of stuck with this information when it became apparent that there was other things going on that involved a possible conspiracy against the United States. And we decided to turn this information over to the f.b.i. We felt that we did not want to manipulate Chris's reporting or edit it in any way because that would be a bigger problem so we just give my gave him everything and that's why he decided to that's why he decided to have the steel bassy be a separate document from you're fine with it yeah we thought you editing it it all like this this is what he found this is what he heard from sources and that will stand alone right it's important to point out that the decision to approach the f.b.i. Was Chris's. You know we just seeded we defer to him he is the intelligence perhaps discuss that decision because this is a real turning point in your investigation and in the hall larger Russia investigate right so when in early July Chris arranged to meet with a contact of his at the f.b.i. In Europe. Some someone he knew from previous work he asked us if that was a good idea and we didn't disagree it was it's important that. It's clear that this is Chris is decision as an intelligence professional so he had that meeting in July 5th of 2016 with the f.b.i. And read them in to some of the information he found in his 1st report so I'm not see the f.b.i. Was also independently investigating Russia's interference in the election and possible ties between Donald Trump and Russia. But Christer still yes go ahead well this is an amazing point in the story which is that we now know we've now pieced together. The beginnings of the f.b.i. Investigation juxtaposed against the beginnings of Chris's interactions with the Justice Department the f.b.i. And it turns out that it was almost simultaneous but the 1st information to get there was not our information it was the information about a low level campaign staffer bragging that the Russians that hacked the Democrats so who was that. So there was reporting that from Alexander Downer who's must really and diplomat in the u.k. Who had had a meeting with George Papadopoulos who was in the trunk campaign as a junior. Foreign policy aide. In which. George now that Apple has bragged about having Russian intelligence on dirt on Hillary Clinton Alexander Downer reported that to the u.s. Government which is where which is the foundation of the subsequent investigation called cross-fire again and this is how investigations begin is that. Both the Government of Australia and us. Reacted to the revelations that the Russians had hacked the d.n.c. And so essentially the f.b.i. Had information coming in from 2 different independent sources around the same time that corroborated each other to some extent in investigations that's actually how they get going is when information comes from more than one place ours came in slightly after the information from the stress you never intended the dossier to the public has as you said and you both didn't directly go to the f.b.i. That was Christopher Steele who did that but you did start approaching journalists why did you start approaching journalist What did you want to tell them did you want them to do with the information. Initially in the summer of 2016 we were concerned that certain people around the trunk campaign in the trunk campaign were questionable character Paul man a Ford was someone that we knew a lot about that we believe had probably violated various us laws and might be involved in corruption and money laundering so we talked to reporters about him in others such as quarter page who seem to be. Interacting with the Russians in a suspicious way on a trip to Russia so these are people that we talk to reporters about and we encourage them to look into a little bit more Same with Michael Flynn you know as it turned out all 3 people were people that needed to be asked to gated and 2 of them have now pled guilty to . So the initial conversations with reporters were about some of these characters in the truck campaign in the Trump Organization later with the movie became more concerned that there was a government Russian government attack on our country that was unprecedented in scale and scope we tried to raise awareness with national security reporters investigate reporters not so much to affect the outcome of the election and specifically not to affect the election but because we thought that this was something we needed to raise awareness about because it was a huge digital Pearl Harbor against your coach my guess are Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch co-founders of fusion g.p.s.

This is Fresh Air I'm Terry Gross let's get back to my interview with Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch co-founders a fusion g.p.s. a Private research company which did opposition research on candidate Donald Trump and commissioned what became known as the steel dasi a which uncovered connections between Donald Trump and Russia and cited several sources that said Russia had a compromising video of Trump with prostitutes a golden showers video that could be used to blackmail him the Da Ca was written by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele who was commissioned to do the research by fusion g.p.s. Simpson and Fritsch are both former Wall Street Journal reporters now they have a new book about their investigation into Trump and Russia called crime in progress they say their report and the steel dossier were never intended to be made public but the doxy I was leaked and published by Buzz Feed when Buzz Feed actually published the dossier you were furious and you were kind of afraid of what the consequences might be you had put Christopher Steele in front of journalists already. So why were you so upset when the dossier was actually published by bus fare well we didn't put Christopher Steele before journalists and on the record way he spoke on background as a former Western intelligence official that's the 1st point you know the 2nd point the publication. Which was of course not our decision and by any way shape or form could have compromised sources and methods of them under redacted document. Chris did not have any kind of warning to prepare for its release and it was hugely dangerous in our view to his his source network this is becoming more common knowledge now in the wake of the 2016 election that Russia the Russian intelligent . Services have a overseas assassination program but it's well known to us in particular Chris that this is just that this is known to the intelligence services for a long time we've we've seen now that they actually are willing to use chemical weapons against people in the United Kingdom. Refresh their memory about when Buzz Feed published this deal dossier. But if you publish the dossier on. January 10th 2017. So it was after the election it could no longer affect the outcome of the election that's correct but it was before the inauguration so. What we say in the book is that the person who has now admitted to leaking that CIA was apparently trying to do was to thwart the swearing in of Trump and. He believed that if this information got out it might lead to. Somehow to Trump's inaugural being put off the old the ultimate hell mary pass and ill advised who was the leaker. So there was a John McCain a person who was close to John McCain by the name of David Kramer who's a former worked in the State Department for human rights for many years and is a valued Russia hawk he. Became aware of the document via Christopher city on his network and his his former colleagues and then my 6 they met with. Senator McCain at the Halifax Forum which is an international forum not unlike the Aspen Institute for him they decided that they needed to pursue this David Kramer flew to London met with Christopher Steele who showed him the dossier Mr Chris Chris was was wary of good. In the document to David Crane were to carry on an airplane so he asked us to hand it to him which Glen did. Are you for the express sorry for the express purpose of handing the document to John McCain for the purpose of approaching James Comey about it so the purpose was to get the document to McCain and then to the f.b.i. Not to link it to the press that's right so has this aide admitted that he was the one who leaked it or or it's just yes if. So there was a Russian cyber mogul who sued Buzz Feed for libel and David was required to testify and he. The ultimate Lee acknowledged that it was he who provided the document to both of you and other people do you find it ironic that it was an aide of John McCain's who made the Da ca public in the hopes of preventing Donald Trump from actually getting in order a bit and it's Lindsey Graham one of the Cain's closest friends who has been one of the leaders trying to question the mother report trying to question the research that you did and supporting Donald Trump I think it's ironic I think it's hypocritical and I think it's depressing that a lot of people who know better are now standing up for don't trump So yes I think you know what the Republicans paid for the 1st half of our investigation and now they're claiming it was all a Democratic hoax that doesn't make sense well let's just stop right there because the Republicans who paid for the 1st part of your investigation were people who were opposing trial Trump they were Republicans but they wanted another Republican to win the primary not trump right so this is my point which is that all. A lot of Republicans who said the triumph would be a disaster for the Republican Party and the nation are now defending Donald Trump it's a supporter member that Lindsey Graham as John McCain and others have recounted. Agreed with John McCain's decision to approach James Cami this coming of this document Fast forward to the moment in January there's no camera News in March where we're Lindsey Graham along with Senator Charles Grassley make a criminal referral to the f.b.i. Under the dark ballpark Department of Justice for Christopher Steele it's an outrage. So let's talk about what's been happening more recently and that's the impeachment inquiry Republicans cited your report 32 times in the impeachment inquiry. They were saying you colluded with the Russians why don't you describe what you heard Republicans say about you during the impeachment inquiry the Republicans cranked up their fog machine as they've been doing since the dossier came out to deflect attention away from the real issue here which is the extent to which Donald Trump was in a relationship with Vladimir Putin's Russia they have used lies and deflection to attack the messengers and again not transact the facts which is of course what they're doing to the whistleblower and to any other good people who try and call the president to account it's a fairly full construction of an alternate reality that is channeled through various propaganda mechanisms including Fox News. And it's it's not meant to be taken as true by anyone other than the minority of people who still support Donald Trump. As we have. Been saying in recent days. When they accuse us of cooking up. A hoax to entrap and damage Donald Trump in some kind of secret operation with the Ukrainian Teligent services they're not confused they're deliberately lying it's just that it's just a made up story designed to confuse the public Rudolph Giuliani has gone so far as to accuse Glenn of going to Ukraine and 2016 and working with the crane eons to cook up the dossier that is just a lie well when you actually ran into Rudy Giuliani on a plane recently and told him You've never been in Ukraine. That's correct I've never been to Ukraine I've never been to Russia. We're getting very tired of sort of the more dramatic deliberate lies about us so we've decided to begin to correct the record Rudy Giuliani also claims that we set up the infamous meeting between the Trump campaign and the Russians in June of 2016 it's well established from multiple investigations that Rudy Giuliani is well aware of that we had nothing to do a setting that meeting that meeting was set up by Donald Trump Jr and Russia Ok let's take a short break here and when we come back we'll talk about how fusion g.p.s. Was criticized during the impeachment inquiry by Republicans so if you're just joining us my guests are Glenn Simpson and Peter French co-founders a fusion g.p.s. Their new book is called crime in progress inside the steel da ca and the Fusion g.p.s. Investigation of Donald Trump will be right back this is Fresh Air. Support for n.p.r. Comes from this station and from Progressive Insurance offering snapshot a device that adjusts insurance rates based on safe driving habits now that's progressive learn more at progressive dot com or 1800 progressive and from the John d. And Catherine t. MacArthur Foundation recognizing exceptionally creative individuals this year's MacArthur Fellows and more information are at mac found dot org. This is Fresh Air and if you're just joining us my guests are Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch they're the co-founders of fusion g.p.s. And authors of the new book crime in progress inside the steel dot ca and the Fusion g.p.s. Investigation of Donald Trump. So you started off as a journalist I mean you were journalist for years and then when you were both based in Brussels Glenn you're an investigative reporter still and Peter you were his editor there to have that right that's right yeah so you were investigative judge you were journalist like for years for the Wall Street Journal and then you just cited 2 for this business fusion g.p.s. Basically do investigative research for hire. And I want you to talk a little bit about the different standards being a journalist versus being research for hire and your clients have included not only like you know Republicans and Democrats but also you know large corporations legal firms so. Talk about the differences in the way the way you went about your work but also in the standards that you would use for. You know the ethical standards. The business is designed to use journalistic methods. And so it's essentially in terms of standards very similar newspapers. Talk to people in this group or talk to people they don't always know whether those people are telling the truth or whether they're accurate they report what people say frequently what people say turns out to be wrong but it's still in the newspaper so we do very similar stuff at Fusion. Can we describe some of what you've been doing as opposition research. We do very little political research actually I did but it's even opposition research for the corporate clients that you have isn't that well I wouldn't call it opposition research it's more a understanding a and information sat right so there are a lot of complicated disputes in the context of lost you know lawsuits obviously but also influence networks right there's a lot of people who want to understand why there are issues you know moving a certain way through Washington or through the courts what we try and do is use public records to map and explain those relationships that really is the core of what we do and does it matter who your client is like if your client is a corporate client and you actually suspect that they were in the wrong would you still represent them. It really would depend on the context in a litigation context you're generally work for a law firm and so it's not really possible to prejudge a situation between who's right who's wrong that's the purpose of the lawsuit and also to go back to another thing that we do. Is decision support so we help people to manage information and to parse information and make decisions about what to do with it so sometimes that is corporate strategy sometimes it's whether to file a lawsuit or not to follow us who would settle there's a lot of. Decisionmaking you know relies on quality information I mean there's there's one example which you know we talk about in the book which maybe is useful here we talk about very briefly our work for Theron knows the blood testing company run by Elizabeth Holmes which turned out to be a massive fraud what we were actually doing for their nose was looking at on behalf of the law firm we were looking at the their competitors question lab court the doowop believe in lab test and if you're a doctor orders a lab test you go into one of those labs and we were analyzing the key to him whistleblower suits against that against those firms and trying to understand what their business model was you know as a journalist you're committed to just like finding the facts reporting what you found and not being concerned with you know taking sides in fact you're not supposed to take sides. But you know when you're you know critical of your reporting for you know like the Wall Street Journal The Washington Post The New York Times it's about you know being fair and being neutral in finding the facts but when your reporting. Is paid for by a particular side Republican or Democrat or when your reporting is paid for by a particular legal group or by a company. It's about getting information for that side so it was a difficult transition for you to make and you feel like you're no longer you know just on the side of. Fact finding and truth when when when you're doing that when you have an interested party paying for information. Glenn will have a view on this too but quite the opposite I mean I think we are we place and as high a premium as we have or did on facts you know in the context of working for law firms or major companies you know you can't you can't report anything but facts and sometimes you don't need just 2 sources to get your and anonymous sources you need paper and you need documents not documentary evidence and that's not changing our lives at all. There's a misapprehension about what we do we're not a p.r. Firm we don't sell spin our clients what reliable information that is the business that we're in so it really has a lot of similarities to journalism it is not. A cooked outcome that we don't sell that if you saw one of our reports you would mistake it for an academic paper. Have you ever turned down a client. Yes we have we've turned down 25 The irony of the Russia affair is that it is a part of the world where we generally don't do a lot of work. Numers clients from the former Soviet Union have approached us that we have turned away we actually forced clients to obsessive net to our methodology which is you know if you have a preconceived outcome in mind and you're looking for specifically a media outcome where the wrong people you know of obviously our peer group is our journalist we have a lot of friends in that business but if you don't want to get to the bottom. Of you know a fact that we're the wrong people for you. Is there any information you can share with us about what you're finding about foreign interference in the next presidential election foreign interference in our elections actually has a fairly long history it's just not something that a lot of people know much about or focused on. In 2016 we believe at least 3 countries interfered in the election Turkey was one Israel was one Russia was one. It's possible there were others we expect that in 2020 Wolf see that at least 3 or 4. Countries or messaging over social media and using other methods to try to influence the outcome before I wrap up I'd like to ask is there information that you found while you were researching. Trump campaign ties to Russia and Russia's interference in our election that you don't think enough attention has been paid to you. Yes One of things that we came across ourselves that didn't really involve Chris Steel was the Russian infiltration of the National Rifle Association which was something that I brought to the attention of the Justice Department and then later raised in my congressional testimony. And that has turned out to be a big issue although it's still not fully investigated eventually criminal charges were brought against a young Russian woman who came to the United States and be friended top officials at the n.r.a. The n.r.a. Area but not right back and so there's a larger problem here that the Russians Sapir to have infiltrated some of the affiliated Republican and conservative groups in the n.r.a. Is the clearest example of that we think that there is a much broader effort. Brush and to infiltrate and influence conservative organizations the other thing that I think still is left outstanding that we spent some time talking about in the book is the extent to which Donald Trump's overseas ventures have been have not been parsed probably other by Robert Muller or anyone else we've done our best to map some of the Russian influence and money coursing through projects in Panama as are based on Toronto etc you know someone needs to actually think about compromise in that current financial compromise and we spent some time talking about that in the book. I want to thank both of you for talking with us Glenn Simpson Peter French Thank you so much thank you Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch are the founders a fusion g.p.s. Their new book is called crime in progress after we take a short break just in Chang will review the new film 9 is out I'm Terry Gross and this is Fresh Air.

This is Fresh Air although best known for directing Star Wars the last jet I the writer director Ryan Johnson has long been a fan of murder mysteries his 2005 debut brick was a film set in a contemporary American high school his new movie knives out is an Agatha Christie style murder mystery with an ensemble that includes Daniel Craig Christopher Plummer Chris Evans and Jamie Lee Curtis film critic Justin Chang has this review as someone who's devoured more than his fair share of Agatha Christie I have long been saddened by Hollywood's general neglect of the classical detective story the kind of clever parlor trick entertainment where a murder is committed in a remote country house and suspicion falls on a closed circle of suspects every so often a director will put his unique spin on the genre as Robert Altman did with Gosford Park and Quentin Tarantino did with the hateful 8 Kenneth Branagh is presently directing and starring in a new wave of Hecuba Paro adaptations though his middling take on murder on the Orient Express didn't leave me wondering who done it so much as why bother. But no filmmaker has done more to revive the spirit of the form or made it seem more rife with possibilities than Ryan Johnson has with knives out this deliriously entertaining comic thriller brings together an all star cast and ingeniously plotted crime story whose every twist catches you by surprise but it also does something more it takes a genre often dismissed as creaky or cosy and uses it to say something powerful and urgent about contemporary class inequality and the moral rot at the heart of this large and obscenely wealthy family Christopher Plummer plays Harlan thrum be a bestselling mystery novelist who is already dead at the start someone slit his throat in the middle of the night and was almost certainly a member of his family all of whom were staying at his ramshackle Victorian house for his 85th birthday party Johnson delights in playing out the usual whodunit conventions whether he's drawing out the piercing scream of the housekeeper who discovers Harlan's body or lining up the suspects as they're interviewed by 2 police detectives played by Le Keith Stanfield and Noah Segan but things really start cooking when a southern accent to Daniel Craig shows up as been. A famous private detective who is conducting his own investigation into Harlan's death in one scene Harlan's daughter Linda a splendidly biting Jamie Lee Curtis tries to find out who hired blog and why Mr Blank I know who you are I read your profile in The New Yorker I found it delightful I just buried my 85 year old father who committed suicide why are you here. I hear the has to reply and. Who. I cannot but let me assure you that my presence will be automatic you will find me a respectful. As. Well of the truth nearly everyone in the family was financially dependent on Harlan and as the actors play them there in amusingly loathsome scheming bunch Linda has a philandering husband played by an oily Dawn Johnson and a black sheep son ransom played by a cocky Chris Evans Ransom had a combative but genuinely close relationship with his late grandfather which is more than can be said for the other members of the family they include Michael Shannon as Walt who ran his father Harlan's publishing firm and Toni Collette as Harlan's widow daughter in law Joanie a social media influencer with a group inspired lifestyle brand but the most memorable character by far and the one who emerges as the trooper tag unmissed is Marta Cabrera Harlan's personal nurse superbly played by the Cuban actress are Miss Martha appears to have been Harlan's only true friend she's far more heartbroken over his death than any of his relatives who keep telling her they see her as part of the family even though none of them can remember exactly which Latin American country she immigrated from blank immediately sees her as a potential ally and in lists her help in solving the mystery sensing that she knows more about Harlan and his family secrets then she may be letting on. The steady stream of laughs and wink wink genre references and knives out might make it seem at 1st like an arch post-modern send up but the movie is too well constructed too full of clever red herrings and breathtaking surprises to be reduced to a mere spoof this isn't the 1st time Ryan Johnson has shown off his flair for intricate plotting as he did in his time travel thriller looper and in Star Wars the last. That blockbuster was attacked by some fans for among other things it's racially diverse casting you can't help but wonder if those bigoted reactions. To center his new movie around a working class Spanish speaking immigrant whose competence and decency utterly shamed the wealthy white family that employs her the pleasures of knives out are both comfortingly familiar and surprisingly subversive even after the murderer's identity has been revealed it builds to what may be the single most satisfying closing shot I've seen this year I won't say more but it's a killer.
