Did not say this the Department of Defense actually wrote a letter determining that Ukraine passed this assessment and yet President Trump set aside that assessment and withheld the Congressionally approved aid to Ukraine anyway in direct contradiction to the established procedures he should have followed had he cared about corruption is that assessment is that relevant to your assessment yes that would also go to the factors the Supreme Court's discussed and what about the fact and I think you mentioned this earlier as one of the key things that you read in the testimony that President Trump wanted the investigations of the Bidens announced but that he actually didn't care whether they were conducted that was an investor Sunderland's testimony what would you say about that that goes to whether the claim that this is about politics is a persuasive claim because that goes to the fact that it's being announced publicly which is an odd thing I mean maybe Mr Swalwell could probably answer this better than I because he was a prosecutor began really you don't announce the investigation in a criminal case before you conduct it because it puts the person on notice that they are under investigation and given all of these facts and there are more that we don't have time to get to how would you assess the credibility of the president's claim that he was worried about corruption Well I think you ought to make that credibility determination because you have the sole power of impeachment if I were a member of the House of Representatives I would infer from this that he was doing it for political reasons if we don't stand up now to a president who abuses his power we risk sending a message to all future presidents that they can put their own personal political interests ahead of the American people our national security and our elections and that is the greatest of threats to our democracy back. Generally back and now we're going for the purpose. Yes. I was asked. Without objection the article would be entered into the record. To question witnesses this is Republican. I'm starting out today doing something that I don't normally do and I'm going to quote speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi in March the speaker told The Washington Post I'm going to quote this. Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there is something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan I don't think we should go down that path because it divides the country. Well and that the speaker and I both agree. Also agrees the founding fathers the Founding Fathers recognize that crimes warranting impeachment must be so severe regardless of political party that there is an agreement the actions are impeachable. Let's go back to Speaker Pelosi close these Words just one more time the speaker says a case for impeachment must be compelling why after last month's shift show this is what we learned there is no evidence that the president directed anyone to tell the Ukrainians that aid was conditioned on. Aside from the mere presumptions. There is no evidence that Trump was conditioning aid. And if you doubt me just go back the actual transcript because that call was a 2020 Alexion mentioned. Call military aid mentioned in fact President Johnson on 31 August was not condition. Rather present. Skeptical about the Ukrainians their country has a history of corruption any merely one of the Europeans to contribute to a problem in their own backyard. But I think we can all agree that it's appropriate for the president as a steward of taxpayer dollars to ensure that our money isn't wasted. I said I was going to go back to speak I do want to go back because I forgot she also said that impeachment should be only pursued when it's overwhelming so it's probably not good for the Democrats that none of the witnesses who testified before the committee were able to provide firsthand evidence of a quid pro quo. Calling it bribery in our focus group last week and there's no evidence of bribery either Instead the 2 people who did have firsthand knowledge the president and president both say there was no pressure on the Ukrainians and again the transcript. And you go back to time she said that the movement for impeachment should be quote unquote bipartisan which is actually the same sentiment. And I quote There must never be. Voted impeachment supported by one of the major political parties and opposed by another. Well when the House voted on the Democrats' impeachment inquiry it was just that it was the only bipartisan vote was the one imposing the inquiry the partisan vote was the one to move forward with the inquiry so we're over 3. Let's face it this is a sham impeachment against President it's not compelling it's not overwhelming it's not bipartisan So even by the speaker's own criteria this is failed rather with this is nothing more than a partisan witch hunt which denies the fundamental fairness American justice system and due process the president the United States the Democrats case is based on nothing more than dots and conjectures and a few the thoughts and feelings of few unelected career bureaucrats. And the American people are absolutely fed up instead of wasting our time on this we should be doing things like passing us m.c.a. Lowering the cost of prescription drugs and working on a failing infrastructure in this country with that said Mr Charlie I watch as your words have been twisted maggot all day long is there anything you would like to clarify. Only this I think that one of the disagreements that I have with my steam colleagues. Is what makes a legitimate. Impeachment what technically satisfies and Pietschmann is very few technical requirements of an impeachment question is what is expected of you and my objection is that there is a constant preference for inference over information for presumptions Overproof that's because this record hasn't been developed and if you're going to remove a president if you believe in democracy if you could remove a sitting president then you have an obligation not to rely on inference when there's still information you can gather and that's what I'm saying it's not that you can't do this I just can't do it this way. Are you Mr Chairman and gentlemen you go back I don't recognize Ms Jackson Lee for the purpose of request Sheila Jackson Lee. Thank its Chairman I'd like unanimous consent to place in the record statement new statement from checks and balances on president trumps abuse of office the average action of the public and Democratic attorney general I have got objection. I now recognize Ms Deming's the. Deming's thank you critic members one of the final numbers to have to hear I know firsthand that the rule of law is the strength of our democracy and no one is above it. Not our neighbors in our various communities not our coworkers and not the president of the United States yet the president have said that he cannot be prosecuted for criminal conduct that he need not comply with congressional requests and subpoenas matter of fact the president is trying to absorb himself of any accountability since the beginning of the investigation in early September the house that multiple letters document requests and subpoenas to the White House yet the president has refused to produce documents and has directed others not to produce documents he has prevented key White House officials from testifying the president's obstruction of Congress is pervasive since the house began its investigation the White House has produced the row subpoenaed documents in addition at the presidents direction more than a dozen members of his administration have defied congressional subpoenas the following slide shows those who have refused to comply at the present tense direction we are facing a categorical blockade by a president who's desperate to prevent any investigation into his wrongdoing. Professor Gary Hart. Has the president ever refused to cooperate and in Pietschmann and Vesa geisha not until now. And any president who I know did laid or tried to delay turning over information when that occurred was that at the same level that we're seeing today President Nixon also had ordered his subordinates to cooperate and testify didn't shut down any event. He produced documents and there were times there were certainly disagreements but there was not a wholesale broad scale across the board refusal to even recognize. This house during an inquiry the President Nixon's obstruction result in an article of impeachment yes ma'am Article 3. Professor Feldman is it fair to say that if a president stonewalls an investigation like we are clearly the end today and to whether he has committed and teachable of sense he risks rendering the impeachment power moot Yes and indeed that's the inevitable effect of a president refusing to participate he's denying the power of Congress under the Constitution to oversee him and to exercise its capacity to impeach Professor Gary Hart when a president prevents witnesses from complying with congressional subpoenas are we entitled to make any presumptions about what they would think they if they testified yes ma'am you are and I might just point out that one of the difficulties with asking for a more thorough investigation is that's exactly what the House has tried to conduct here and the president has refused to comply with subpoenas and other requests for information that's where the blockage occurred so that's why there are documents now produced why there are people not testifying the people here of said today they want to hear from you and relation to what you just said ambassadors found one testified and I quote Everyone was in the loop it was no secret Professor good. Art how is the basket of silence testimony relevant here his testimony is relevant is also rather chilling to hear him say that everybody is in the loop and when he says that he's talking about the people the highest levels of our government all of whom are refusing to testify under oath to comply was subpoenas professors I want to thank you for your testimony of the president use the power of this office to pressure a foreign head of state to investigate an American citizen and ordered to benefit is domestic political situation after he was caught and I do know something about that this president proceeded to cover it up every fuse to comply with valid congressional subpoenas the framers included in preachment and the cons and the Constitution to ensure that no one no one is above the law including And it's rationally the president of the United States thank you Mr Chair and I yield back. Mr Kline is recognized Thank you Mr Chairman this is Republican Ben Kline of Virginia are just getting home from work right now their turn on the t.v. And they're wondering what they're watching on t.v. They're asking themselves Is this a rerun because I thought I saw this a couple of weeks ago but no this is not a rerun Unfortunately this is act 2 of the 3 part tragedy the impeachment of President Trump and what we're seeing here is. Several very accomplished constitutional scholars attempting to divine the intent whether it's of the president or of the various witnesses who appeared during the shift hearings and it's very frustrating to me as a member of the Judiciary Committee why we are where we are today. I asked to be a member of this committee because of its storied history because it was the defender of the Constitution because it was one of the oldest committees in the Congress established by another Virginian John George Jackson it's because 2 of my immediate predecessors Congressman Bob Goodlatte and who chaired this Committee and Congressman Caldwell Butler also served on this committee but the committee that they served under served on is dead that committee doesn't exist anymore that committee is gone apparently now we don't even get to sit in the judiciary committee room where in the Ways and Means Committee room I don't know why maybe because there's more room maybe because the the portraits of the various chairman whose would be staring down at us might just intimidate the other side as they in temped attempt what is essentially a sham impeachment of this president you know looking at where we are. The lack of the use of the Regino rules in this process is shameful the fact that we got witness testimony for this hearing this morning is shameful the fact that we got the Intelligence Committee report yesterday 300 pages of it is shameful . I watched the Intelligence Committee hearings from the back although I couldn't watch them all because the Judiciary Committee actually scheduled business during the Intelligence Committee hearings so the Judiciary Committee members were able to watch all of the hearings but I didn't get to. I get to Rick read the transcripts of the hearings that were held in private I was not able to be a part of the Intelligence Committee hearings that were in the skiff. We haven't seen the evidence from the intelligence committee yet we've asked for it we haven't received it. We haven't heard from any fact witnesses yet before we get to hear from these constitutional scholars about whether or not the facts rise to the level of an impeachable. Offense Mr Turley it's not just your family and dog who are angry many of us on this committee are angry many of us. Watching at home across America are angry because this show has degenerated into a farce and. As I said the Judiciary Committee of my predecessors is dead and. I look to a former chairman Daniel Webster who said we are all agents of the same supreme power the people and it's the people who elected this president in 2016 and it's the people who should have the choice. As to whether or not to vote for this president in 2020 not the members of this committee not Speaker Nancy Pelosi and not the members of this House of Representatives it should be the people of the United States who get to decide. Who their president is in 2020. I asked several questions about obstruction of justice to Mr Muller when he testified. Mr Tom Turley I know that you mentioned obstruction of justice several times in your testimony I want to yield to Mr Rackley to ask a concise question about that issue thank you gentlemen for yielding Professor Turley in last few days we've been hearing that despite no questions to any witnesses during the 1st 2 months of the 1st phase of this impeachment inquiry that the Democrats may be dusting off the obstruction of justice portion of the Muller report seems to me that we all remember how the Republicans John Ratcliffe test as special counsel's analysis of the obstruction of justice portion of that report. I'd like you to address the fatal flaws from your perspective from regard to the obstruction of justice portion of that gentleman's time is expired the witness man so the question for you thank you Mr Chairman. I've been a critic of the obstruction theory behind the Russian investigators because once again it doesn't meet what I think are the clear standards for obstruction there were 10 issues the Moeller addressed the only one that I think was that raised a serious issue quite frankly was the matter with Don began there's a disagreement about that but also the Department of Justice rejected the obstruction of justice claim and it was not just the attorney general it was also the jet and general Rod Rosen gentlemen as well expire The gentleman's time is well expired and Mr Graham. Thank you Mr Chairman and the like to thank our witnesses for being here today of challenge. Not only to this body the to America that is listening very intently and what the issues before us are and why it's so important that all of us understand the issues before us Professor Feldman. As was just discussed. President Trump has ordered the executive branch to completely blog aid the efforts of this house to investigate whether he committed high crimes and misdemeanors in his dealings with the Ukraine is that correct yes that is President Trump is also asserted that many officials are somehow absolutely immune from testifying in this impeachment inquiry on the screen behind you is the opinion by Judge Jackson a federal judge here in d.c. That we jacks president trumps assertion president. Professor Filmon Do you agree with Judge Jackson's ruling that President Trump has involved a non-existent legal bases to block witnesses from testifying in this impeachment inquiry I agree with the thrust of judgment on brown Jackson's opinion I think that she correctly held that there is no absolute immunity which would protect a presidential advisor from having to appear before the House of Representatives and testify she did not make a ruling as to whether executive privilege would apply in any given situation I think that was also appropriate as the issue had not yet arisen and let me quote Judge Jackson open quote the primary takeaway from the past 250 years of recorded American history is that presidents are not kings close quote Professor Feldman. In the framers view does the president act more like a leader of democracy or more like a monarch when he orders officials to defy Congress as it tries to investigate abuse of power and corruption of elected it's so i don't even think the framers could have imagined that a president would flatly refuse to participate impeachment inquiry given that they gave the power of impeachment to the House of Representatives and assumed that the structure of the Constitution would allow the House to oversee the President thank you Professor Gary Hart yes where can we look in the Constitution to understand whether the president must comply with the impeachment investigations I think you can look throughout the entire Constitution a good place of course includes the supremacy clause the president also takes an oath he takes an oath to support and defend the Constitution of guys states that comes that means that he's assuming office with certain constraints I want to you may do and there are measures for accountability for any failure to follow his duty or followed the Constitution thank you and the president has said that he is above the law that Article 2 of the Constitution allows him to and I quote do whatever I want that can't be true Judge Jackson has said that no one is above the law personally. I grew up in California in the 1960 s. It was a time when we were going to beat the Russians to the moon we were full of optimism we believe that America the box in the American democracy we were the best in the world and back home on Main Street my mom and dad struggled to survive day to day my mom worked as a maid cleaning hotel rooms for a buck 50 an hour and my dad worked at the local paper mill Tron survive day to day and what got us up in the morning was the belief the optimism that tomorrow was going to be better than today. We're nation of freedom democracy economic opportunity and we always know that Tamar's going to be better and today I personally sit is a testament to the greatness of this nation made out of the hoods in Congress. And I sit here in this committee room also. With one very important mission which is to keep the American dream alive twin sure that all of us are equal to ensure that nobody nobody is above the law in to ensure that our Constitution and that our congressional oversight of the presidency is still something with meaning. Thank you chair. I yield the gentleman back Mr Armstrong thank you Mr Chairman you know all day long we've been sitting here and listening to my friends across the aisle and their witnesses claim that the president demanded Ukraine do us a favor we're now hearing from Republicans how we are not strong enough nor any real action campaign before you would release the military. This is like everything else in this sham impeachment purposefully misleading and not based on the facts so let's review the actual transcript of the call they never mention the 2020 election they never mention military it does however clearly show that the favor prefer the president requested was assistance with the ongoing investigation into the 2016 election those investigations particularly the one done being run by a u.s. Attorney Jeff Daryn. Should concern Democrats and the transcript of this call shows that the president was worried about the efforts of Ukraine relating to the 2016 election we know this and notice I'm using the word no and not the word infer from reading the transcript and because he spoke about it ending with Meller. We know this because he wants to turn in general to get in touch with the Ukrainians about this issue we have a treaty with Ukraine governing these sorts of international investigations but like so many other things these facts are inconvenient for Democrats they don't fit the impeachment narrative so they're misrepresented or ignored and I think it's important when we talk about this and I whatever the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt clear and convincing evidence whether it's a judicial hearing a cause I judicial hearing or a congressional hearing we're talking about these issues I think we need to start with how we look at it and I'm not a constitutional law professor I'm just an old criminal defense attorney but when I walk into a courtroom I think of 3 things what's the crime charge what's the conduct and who's the victim and we've managed to make until 5 o'clock today before we've talked about the alleged victim of the crime and that's President elect and 3 different times presidents of us here at least 3 different times as denied being pressured by the president to call shows laughter pleasantries Gelati September 25th president silence he states No you heard that we had a good phone call it was normal we spoke about many things I think you read it and nobody pushed me October 29th presidents wanted ski had a press conference and I encourage everybody to watch it even if you don't understand it 90 percent of communication is nonverbal you tell me if you think he's lying there was no blackmail December 2nd this Monday I never talked to the president from the person ition of quid pro quo. So we have the alleged victim of quid pro quo bribery extortion whatever we're dealing with now today repeatedly and adamantly shouting from the rooftops that he never felt pressure that he was not the victim of anything so in order for this whole thing to stick we have to believe that President Selenski is a pathological liar or that the Ukrainian president and the country are so weak that he has no choice. But to parade himself out there to demoralize himself for the good of his country either of these 2 assertions weakens their countries and harms our efforts to help for your career and also begs the question how on earth did President. With stand this illegal impeachable pressured to begin with because this fact still has not changed the aide was released to recruit Ukraine and did not take any action from them in order for it to flow with that idea of the my friend Mr I think the general feeling Professor Karlan context is important isn't it yes or yes because just a few minutes ago when Marcus who is Republican Jim Jordan of Ohio the statement you made well you got to the station in context but it seems to me you don't want to extend the same or apply the same standard to the president because the now famous quote I would like you to do us a favor you said about an hour and a half ago that Dad didn't need us to demean us it meant the president himself but that's the clear reading of this I would like you to do us a favor though because you know what the next 2 words are. I don't know if the Dr I'll tell you because our country he didn't say I would like you to do me a favor though because I have been through a lot he said I want you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot you know what this this call with this call happened happened the day after Boehner was in front of this committee of course our country put was put to 2 years of this and the idea that you're now going to say oh this is the royal we and he's talking about himself ignores the entire context of his statement that whole paragraph you know what he is in the paragraph with talking about Bob Muller. And this is this is the basis for this impeach with this call it couldn't be further from the truth you want that you want this data to apply when one representative Gates makes one of your statements or you go look at the context but when the president United States is clear you try to change his wording when the context is clear he's talking about the 2 years that this country went through because of the report from now that Slater does a very high to the president that is that is ridiculous rumors time has expired. I want to thank our constitutional experts for walking us through the framers thinking on impeachment and why they decided it was a necessary part of our Constitution going to ask you to help us understand the implications of the president's obstruction of Congress's investigation into his use of the office of the president to squeeze the you crazy and Democrat and let us consider a name and there's certainly hundreds of pages on how one reaches that conclusion. We know the president's obstruction did not begin with the Ukraine investigation instead his conduct is part of a pattern and I'll direct your attention to the time line on the screen in the left hand column we see the president's statement from his July call in which he pressured Ukraine a foreign government to meddle in our election then once Congress got wind of it the president tried to cover up his involvement by obstructing the congressional investigation and refusing to cooperate but this isn't the 1st time we've seen this kind of obstruction in the right hand column we can flashback to the 2016 election when the president welcomed and used Russians in interference in our election and again when the special counsel and then this committee tried to investigate the extent of his involvement he did everything he could to cover it up so it appears the president's obstruction of investigations is part of a pattern 1st he invites foreign powers to interfere in our elections and then he covers it up and find. He obstructs lawful inquiries into his behavior whether by Congress or law enforcement and then he does it again so Professor Gary Hart how does the existence of such a pattern help determine whether the president's conduct is impeachable the pattern of course gives us a tremendous insight into the context of his behavior when he's acting and how do we explain those actions by looking at the pattern we can infer very very strong influence in fact is the deviating from the usual practice and he's been systematically heading towards a culmination where you can ask this question by the way after the George wave of call the money is not yet released. In there's conversations we learn from other testimony that essentially the money is being withheld because the president wanted to make sure the deliverable was going to happen that is the reverse occasion and in addition to the money not being released there also was not the White House meeting which was so important to you Crimean security that's right Ok Professor Feldman we noted previously that a federal district court recently rejected the president's attempt to block witnesses from testifying to Congress saying that presidents are not kings the founders included 2 critical provisions in our Constitution to prevent our president from becoming a king and our democracy from becoming a monarchy and those protections were presidential elections and impeachment Correct correct. Based on the pattern of conduct that we're discussing today the pattern of infighting foreign interference in our elections for political gain and then obstructing lawful investigation as the president undermined both of those protections he has and it's crucial to note that the victim of a high crime in this demeanor such as the president's alleged to have committed is not President Selenski and is not the Ukrainian people the victim of the high credit is the American people I would. Hamilton said very clearly that the nature of a high crime in this demeanor is that they are related to injuries done to the society itself we the American people are the victims of a high crime investigator and what is the appropriate remedy in such a circumstance the framers created one remedy to respond to I crimes and misdemeanors and that was impeachment Thank you you know I've spent over 30 years working to help clients and school children understand the importance of our constitutional system and the importance of the rule of law so the president's behavior is deeply deeply troubling the president welcomed and used election interference by Russia publicly admitted he would do it again and did in fact do it again by soliciting election interference from Ukraine and throughout the president has tried to cover up his misconduct This isn't complicated the founders were clear and we must be to such behavior in a president of the United States is not acceptable I yield back. Generally back Mrs Levy we recognize with a. Request Mr Chairman I assume that a dark room which list of $400.00 pieces of legislation passed by the House $275.00 bipartisan bills 80 percent which remain languishing in the Senate be made a part of the record in response to Mr Gates' claim that we're now doing the work done. For the record Mr Big says you recognize we're going to see where you're going to be considered for a packet of 54 documents tonight in which of the previously been through Without objection the documents will be entered into the record Mr Chairman I have another you know what a privilege as a journalist Mr John as you know is concerned that this article was just published about 15 minutes ago into law professor Jonathan Turley said Democrats are setting a record for a fast impeachment that's demonstrably false you made part of the record we have objections to Chairman your. Without objection the document you made for the record the mission what purpose does the gentleman seek recognition so you can image consent to record a tweet that the 1st lady of the United States just issued within the hour this is a minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics Pamela Karlan you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering and using a child to do it on without objection the document be entered into the record. Mr Right you know as to the purpose of questioning the witnesses. There's some sort. Of history. This is not of you momentarily you knows I've said you Mr Chairman and I too want to thank all the witnesses for their time and your patience today I know it's been a long day but the end is in sight as my colleague Mr Cameron observed this is Democratic. In the Ukraine investigation and his conduct in the special counsel's investigation hard to ignore In fact we're seeing it as a pattern of a presidential power the president called the Ukraine investigation a hoax and the Muller investigation which he has threatened the Ukraine whistleblower for not testifying like he threatened to fire his attorney general for not obstructing the Russian investigation the president fired and baster Yavanna bitch and publicly tarnished her reputation in the same way he fired his White House counsel and publicly attacked his integrity and finally the president attacked a civil servants who have testified about Ukraine just like he attacked career officials of the Department of Justice for investigating his obstruction of the Russian investigation under any other circumstances such behavior by any American president would be shocking but here it. A repeat of what he would have already seen the special counsel's investigation I'd like to take a moment to discuss the president's efforts to obstruct a special counsel's investigation a subject that this committee has been investigating since March here are 2 slides the 1st one. Will show as as he did with as as the president as he did with Ukraine try to coerce his subordinates to stop an investigation into his misconduct by foreign special counsel. And the 2nd sly that this shows that when the news broke out of the president's order the president directed his advisors to falsely deny he made the order perfessor Gary Hart Are you familiar with the facts relating to these 3 episodes as described in the mall report yes or no place yes ma'am so except in the special counsel's evidence is true is this pattern of conduct struction of tax justice it's clearly obstruction of justice and what would you say so sir. The obvious object of this activity is to shut down an investigation and in fact the acts of the president according to these facts each time is to use the power that he has unique to his office but in a way that's going to help him frustrate the investigation so does this conduct fit within the framers view of impeachable offenses I believe it does I don't mean the entire Constitution including separation of powers is designed to put limits on how somebody may go go about frustrating the activity of another branch so you would say that they did this also would be an impeachable offense. Thank you because I agree with you the president's actions and behavior do matter the president's obstruction of justice definitely matters as a former judge and as a member of Congress I have raised my right hand. Man and put my left hand on the Bible more than once and have sworn to uphold the Constitution and laws of this country this year it is about that but it's also about the core of the heart of our American values the values of duty honor and loyalty it's about the rule of law when the president asked Ukraine for a favor he did so over his personal political gain and not on behalf of the American people and if this is true he would have betrayed his oath and betrayed his loyalty to this country a fundamental principle of our democracy is that no one is above the law and that any one of you professors that any one of us appear members of Congress not even the president of the United States that's why we should hold him accountable for his actions and that's why I again thank you for testifying today and helping us walk through all of this is to prepare for what may come thank you sir. I yield back back Mr. Thank you Mr Chair Thank you to each of the 4 witnesses for your testimony today and I'd like to start by talking about intimidation of witnesses as my colleague Congresswoman Percy a noted as a Democrat. Of Colorado an investigation and special counsel Muller's investigation in order to try to cover up his own misconduct and in both the Ukraine investigation and special counsel Muller's investigation the president actively discouraged witnesses from cooperating intimidated witnesses who came forward and praised those who refused to cooperate for example in the Ukraine investigation the president harassed and intimidated the brave public servants who came forward he publicly called the whistleblower a quote disgrace to our country and so. Said that his identity should be revealed he suggested that those involved in the whistleblower complaint should be dealt with in the way that we quote used to do and quote for spies and treason he called Ambassador Taylor a former military officer with more than 40 years of public service a quote never Trumper and quote on the same day that he called Never trumpeters scum The president also treated accusations about many of the other public servants who testified including Jennifer Williams And Ambassador Javon of it and as we know the president's latter tweet happened literally during the ambassador's testimony in this room in front of the Intelligence Committee which she made clear was intimidating converse only we know that the president has praised witnesses who have refused to cooperate for example during the special counsel's investigation the president praised manna for his former campaign manager for not cooperating you can see the tweet up on the screen to my side as another telling example the president initially praised ambassador sawmilling for not cooperating calling him quote a really good man and a great American but after Ambassador Susan Lynn testified and confirmed that there was indeed a quid pro quo between the White House visit and the request for investigations the president claimed that he quote hardly knew the ambassador. Professor Gearhart you've touched on it previously but I'd like you to just explain is the president's interference in these Vesta geisha ins by intimidating witnesses also the kind of conduct that the framers were worried about and if so why it's curly conduct I think that. They've given us in the structure of the Constitution the. Activities you're talking about here are consistent with the other pattern of activity we've seen with the president either trying to stop investigations either by. Or by Congress as well as to ask witnesses to. Make false documents about testimony and all those different kinds of activities. Are not the kinds of activities the framers expected the president to be able to take they expect a president to be held accountable for and not just in elections Professor Turley you've studied the impeachment of President Johnson President Nixon President Clinton am I right that President Nixon allowed senior White House officials including the White House counsel and the White House chief of staff to testify in the House impeachment inquiry. And you're aware the president has refused to allow his chief of staff or White House counsel to testify this inquiry correct yes but various officials did. They are remaining in federal and that does not include the White House counsel nor the White House chief of staff correct am I right that President Clinton provided written responses to 81 in Iraq or tories from the House Judiciary Committee during that impeachment inquiry I believe that sounds about right and you're aware the President Trump has refused any requests for information submitted by the intelligence committee in this impeachment inquiry. Are you familiar with the letter issued by White House counsel Pat simple and on October 8th written on behalf of President Trump and in effect instructing executive branch officials not to testify in this impeachment inquiry. And am I correct that no president in the history of the republic before President Trump has ever issue. A general order instructed executive branch officials not to testify in an impeachment inquiry that's where I'm not sure I can answer affirmatively President Nixon in fact went to court over access to information documents and the like and he lost Well Professor Turley I would just again refer you back to the history that's been recounted by each of the distinguished scholars here today because we know as we group companies examples that President Nixon did in fact allow his chief of staff and his chief counsel to testify and this president has not we know that President Clinton responded to the Tories propounded by that impeachment inquiry agree with and that this president has not at the end of the day this Congress and this committee has an obligation to ensure that the law is enforced with that you'll backbones my time hearing. This Macbeth Thank you Mr Chairman and professors I want to thank you now hearing from our Democrat Saturday and Georgia is long arduous hours with us today thank you so much for being here following up on my colleague Mr New gooses questions I'd like to briefly go through one particular example of President the President's witness intimidation that I find truly disturbing and very devastating because I think it's important that we all truly see what's going on here as this slide show on his July 25th call President Trump said that former ambassador Yavanna bitch would and I quote go through some things. Ambassador give on a bitch testified about how learning about the president's statements made her feel . What did you think when President tried told President Selenski in the raid that you were going to go through something. I didn't know what to think but I was very concerned were you concerned about it. She's going to go through some things it didn't sound good sounded like. A threat. Did you. Feel threatened. I did. And as we all witnessed in real time in the middle of Ambassador you have out of the just live testimony the president tweeted about the ambassador discreated in her service in Somalia and the Ukraine. Ambassador given a bitch testified that the president's tweet was and I quote very intimidating. Professor Gerhardt these attacks on a career public servant are deeply upsetting but how do they fit into our understanding of whether the president has committed high crimes and misdemeanors and how do they fit into our broader pattern of behavior by this president to cover up and obstruct his misconduct. One way in which it contributes to the obstruction of Congress is that it doesn't just defame. Ambassador you have on a bench by every other account she's been an exemplary public servant So what he's suggesting there may not be consistent with what we know as his facts but is but one of the things that also happens when he sends out something like this it intimidates everybody else who's thinking about testifying any other public servants that think they should come forward they're going to they're going to worry that they're going to get punished in some way they're going to face things like she's faced. That is the woman President Tom has threatened before you and I can assure you I personally know what it's like to be unfairly attacked publicly for your sense of duty to America. And basket or deserves better no matter your party whether you're a Democrat or Republican I don't think any of us thinks that this is Ok it is plainly wrong for the president of the United States to attack a career public servant just for telling the truth as she knows it and I yield back the balance of my time. Generally back Mr Stanton. Thank you very much Mr Chairman and thank you to our a Democrat here today does stand to reason Iran has declared that he will not comply with congressional subpoenas this blanket categorical disregard of the legislative branch began with the president's refusal to cooperate with regular congressional oversight and has now extended to the house's constitutional duty on impeachment the reason why we are here today this disregard has been on display for the American people when asked if he would comply with the dawn began subpoena President Trump said quote Well we're fighting all the subpoenas unquote. And we've discussed here today the obstruction of Congress Article impeachment against President Nixon I think I'd like to go a little bit deeper into that discussion and juxtapose that with the president trumps actions Professor Gary Hart Can you elaborate on how President Nixon obstructed Congress and how it compares to President Trump's actions as I was discussing earlier and including my written statement President Nixon ultimately refused to comply with for legislative subpoenas these were 0 in on the most incriminating evidence he had in his possession so he refused to comply with those subpoenas became the basis for that 3rd article and he resigned a few days later. Professor Feldman one of the consequences of this unprecedented obstruction of Congress to our democracy. For the president to refuse to participate in any way in the house is constitutional obligation of supervising him to impeach him breaks the Constitution it basically says nobody can oversee me nobody can impeach me 1st I'll block witnesses from appearing then I'll refuse to participate in any way and then I'll say you don't have enough evidence to impeach me and ultimately the effect of that is to guarantee that the president is above the law and can't be checked and since we know the framers put impeachment in the Constitution to check the president if the president can't be checked he's no longer subject to the Law Professor Gary Hart would you agree that the president's refusal to comply with congressional subpoenas invokes the framers for worst fears and endangers our democracy it does and one way in which to understand that is to put all of his arguments together and and then see what the ramifications are he says he's had entitled not to comply with all subpoenas he says he's not subject to any kind of criminal investigation while he's president of states he's immune to that he's entitled to keep all information confidential from Congress doesn't even have to give a reason. Well when you put all those things together he's blocked off every way in which to hold himself accountable except for elections and the critical thing to understand here is that is precisely what he was trying to undermine in the Ukraine situation for Carla The other thing to add to that analysis. Thanks I think that's correct and if I can just say one thing. I want to apologize for what I said earlier about the president's son it was wrong of me to do that I wish the president would apologize obviously for the things that he's done that's wrong but I do regret having said that thank you professor. One of the most important questions that every member of this committee must decide is whether we are a nation of laws and not men it used to be an easy answer one that we could all agree on when President Nixon defied the law and obstructed justice he was held to account by people on both sides who knew that for our republic to endure we must have fidelity to our country rather than one party or one man and the obstruction we're looking at today is far worse than President Nixon's behavior future generations will measure us every single member of this committee by how we choose to answer that question I hope we get it right I yield that. Gentlemen back Mr Stubing Thank you Mr Chairman I've only been in Congress since January of this year and on the very 1st day of my swearing in a Democrats Republican Greg Stube me as before it happened on day the last Republican to be asking questions colorful language that I would never use since then this committee focused on the mother report and the Russia collusion theory we all sat and listened to Mr Muller state unequivocally that there was no evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with the. So that didn't work for the Democrats so they then changed their talking points to move to the obstruction of justice theory the President obstructed justice and that fizzled then after coordinating with chairmanship staff a whistle blower filed a complaint based completely on hearsay and overhearing other people that were on the phone call talk about a phone call between 2 world leaders which led to the Intel Committee so-called impeachment inquiry which violated all past historical president denied the president basic due process rights in fundamental fairness by conducting this so-called inquiry in secret without the minorities ability to call witnesses and deny the president the ability to have his lawyers cross examine witnesses are right afforded to President Clinton and every defendant in our justice system including rapists and murderers the Republicans on this committee have repeatedly requested all evidence collected by the intel committee as we sit here today we still don't have the underlying evidence that we've been requesting again a right afforded every criminal defendant the United States so instead we sit here getting lectures from all professors about their opinions their opinions not facts I guess the Democrats need a constitutional lawyer refresher course the Republicans don't Mr Chairman you have acknowledge and I quote the house's quo power of impeachment demands a rigorous level of due process due process means the right to confront witnesses against you to call your own witnesses and to have the assistance of counsel those are your words Mr Chairman not mine what are you afraid of let the minority call witnesses let the president call witnesses Clinton alone called 14 witnesses to testify let the President's counsel cross-examine the whistleblower but the president's counsel cross-examine the Intel staff who colluded with the whistleblower in your own words those are the rights that should be afforded to the president writes every criminal defendant is afforded even terrorists in Iraq reform and more due process than you and the Democratic majority have afforded the president. I know because I served in Iraq and I prosecuted terrorists in Iraq and we provided terrorists in Iraq more rights and due process in the central criminal court of Iraq than you and chairmanship have afforded the president of the United States no collusion no obstruction no quid pro quo no evidence of bribery except opinion no evidence of treason no evidence of high crime or misdemeanors we have a bunch of opinions from partisan Democrats who have stated from day one that they want to impeach the president and not on this theory but on multiple other different theories the American people are some order smarter than your A.B.C.'s of impeachment that you had on the screen that were laid out today and extremely demonstrative of your lack of evidence given you you called while professors to give their opinions and not fact witnesses to give their testimony today to be cross-examined and the rights afforded to the president United States Mr Chairman when can we anticipate that you will choose a date for the minority day of hearings. Mr Chairman I'm asking you a question. When can we anticipate that you would You are listening to special coverage of the impeachment hearings from n.p.r. News that your. Colleagues. Well then I'll do that after my time are you yield the remainder of my time to Mr reckless I thank my colleague from Florida for yelling Professor Turley since we last talked to based on questioning from my colleagues across the aisle it does in fact appear in this Republican clip of terrorism to pursue articles of impeachment for obstruction of justice based on the Muller report. I asked you a question about that you didn't really get a chance to give a complete answer in your statement today you make this statement I believe in obstruction claim based on the model report would be at odds with the record in the controlling law use of an obstruction theory from the mall or report would be unsupported unsupportable in the house and unsustainable in the Senate you member writing that you say do why did you write that because I think it's true the fact is that this was reviewed this is special coverage of the impeachment hearings from n.p.r. News obstruction he should have I think that is justification and quite frankly was a bit absurd and not reaching a conclusion but the attorney general deputy attorney general did and they came to the right conclusion I don't think this is a real case for obstruction but then if this body would be impeaching the president on the basis of the inverse conclusion I don't believe it be appropriate in this time is expired Mr Dean. Thank you Mr Chairman. Words matter in my earlier life professors I was a professor of writing I taught my students to be careful and clear about what they put to paper Democrat in the Madeline Demers and starting to Sion understood far better than anyone they were laying the foundation for a new form of government one that enshrines Democratic. Principles and protect against those who would seek to undermine them the Constitution explicitly lays out that a president may be impeached for treason bribery high crimes and misdemeanors we've heard a lot of words today foreign interference bribery obstruction of justice professors I'd like to go through the president's conduct and the public harms we have discussed today and ask if they would fit into what the forefathers contemplated one crafting those words of the impeachment clause Professor Karlan I'd like to ask you about the foreign interference in elections as Americans we can agree foreign interference foreign influence or roads the integrity of our elections and as you said so plainly it makes us less free yet on July 25th 2019 the president Co worst your Ukrainian president's Olinsky to announce an investigation into his political rival Trump's political rival which was corroborated by multiple witnesses throughout the intelligence committee hearings Professor Karlan Can you explain for the American people in your opinion whether the framers considered solicitation of foreign interference and did would they have considered it a high crime or misdemeanor and does the president's conduct rise to that level the framers of our Constitution would have considered that the Horan's would have considered it the essence of a high crime or misdemeanor for a president to invite in foreign influence either in deciding whether he will be reelected or deciding who his successor would be thank you Professor Feldman I'd like to talk to you about bribery during the course of the Intelligence Committee hearings multiple witness gave sworn testimony that the president withheld nearly $400000000.00 in Congressionally approved aid on the condition that Russia excuse me that Ukraine and now its investigations into his chief political adversary professor in your opinion given those. Those facts and the frame are specific concerns would you describe the President's behavior here and the use of his public office for a private benefit as rising to those levels the framers considered as you said bribery to consist of bribery under the Constitution to consist of the president abusing his office corruptly for personal gain if this House determines And if this committee determines that the president was in fact seeking personal gain in seeking the.

From noon to 3 right here on the Patriots 14th and am And what point 3 f.m. . We have the one the only Justin Haskins on with us Justin I rely on how you do and I'm you know I'm going pretty good and I'm doing pretty good you're the editorial director of the Heartland Institute which I absolutely love you guys have done. So much to fight many things but in lately you're really focusing on the fight against socialism you just did a new Rasmussen study on likely voters can you can you take us through this. Yeah absolutely so it was a poll conducted in middle of no November November 13th and 14000 likely voters and we asked them a variety of questions about Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren some questions about socialism and then some questions about free speech and I think that the most important interesting question was about free speech free speech rights it was Should federal or state governments ban speech that a majority of Americans believe to be offensive and clued ing speech considered to be racist or sexist that's exact wording that we gave 2 to the respondents and the results were a quarter of of likely voters said yes we should ban speech government should ban that speech and among varying groups based on age 37 percent of younger people said yes to that question that was the highest of any demographic based on age and 42 percent of government employees which might be the most interesting part of the survey said yes to that question so 42 percent of governments are of government employees that we surveyed said that we should ban speech course that a majority of people think is offensive that makes total sense to me and makes sense to you. It makes absolute sense to me especially when you think of this as a national survey right we're not polling people who are in Washington d.c. So so we're polling government workers across the country well who are most government workers in most parts of the country all their teachers and I think that that's why you're seeing the very far left view of free speech but it's incredibly disturbing when you when you realize that most of these people are probably your local government workers you're probably mostly public schoolteachers So let me go through some of this because I think it's it's odd which is better a free market economic system or socialism 69 percent which is you know good for today I guess 69 percent said a free market economic system 12 percent said socialism and 18 percent said not sure Ok that's right would you vote for a presidential candidate who identifies him or herself as a socialist 26 percent said yes there's only 12 percent that identify as a socialist 26 percent said yes 50 percent said no 24 percent said not sure not where I'd like it but not horrible if you will. Do you have favorable somewhat favorable somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable impressions of Bernie Sanders 18 percent very favorable 29 percent somewhat favorable 17 somewhat unfavorable 31 very unfavorable and 5 not sure what are they what do any of these numbers taken together begin to tell you anything. Yeah I think that the most important thing in the numbers that you just mentioned is that really a large percentage of Americans even people who identified as Democrats in our crosstabs we found that it's basically one in 3 Democrats said that they do not they would not vote for a Socialist candidate I don't know if Donald Trump is listening but this might be helpful information in 2020 as if you can classify people as a socialist if you can if you can show Americans that what Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and other people are proposing out there is socialist is socialist policies then I think most Americans are going to reject it one of the really interesting things that we found in the data is that 20 percent about 20 percent of both Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren or Elizabeth Warner's own supporters said that they would not vote for a Socialist candidate we're talking about the most the people who had the highest favor abilities you of Bernie Sanders said that they would not vote for a Socialist candidate for president well that's that's really interesting Do they not realize that Bernie Sanders is a socialist I think do they not know that that's who they are that they're supporting and I mean I think that that tells you that a lot of people are very confused about what they're hearing from people like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren do you support legislation that would ban private ownership of assault rifles 49 percent said yes 43 percent said no and only 8 percent are not sure. Yeah very very disturbing I think I think that the not just the assault rifle question but also a question that we asked about the 2nd Amendment do you support we're going do you support repealing the 2nd Amendment which currently guarantees Americans right to bear arms 24 percent said yes 10 percent said not sure 66 percent said no that's right and a 3rd of 18 to 39 year olds a 3rd 33 percent said that they would support banning the 2nd Amendment so it's 24 percent overall of all likely voters but 33 percent of younger people so over time this is going to get is only going to become a bigger problem and about a 3rd by the way of Democrats said that they support repealing the 2nd Amendment so I think we have a lot of work to do Glenn to teach people about the importance of the 2nd Amendment and what it really means not writing it as a seminal this is showing the terrier action of the Bill of Rights the 1st Amendment and the 2nd Amendment you lose those you lose everything else Yeah without question and I think it goes all the way back to what we talked about earlier in the conversation when we were saying that there's such a high support for socialism amongst government workers and most of those government workers are teachers what are they teaching our kids what they're teaching our kids that the 2nd Amendment is awful and that it should be repealed they're teaching our kids that hate speech that things that are considered to be offensive speech should not be allowed in a free society they are there teaching our kids to reject the constitution to reject the bill of rights to reject individual liberty and that's why I think you're seeing younger people support the socialist policies at a much higher rate than you're seeing older people. So I just want to give I just want to do this restate these 46 percent of those who identified as working for the government you say it's mainly teachers support legislation that would ban private ownership of assault rifles only 43 percent of independents and 32 percent of Republicans say they'd support legislation that would ban private ownership of assault style rifles 32 percent of Republicans would well you've got to remember that that I think that that's pretty accurate these are likely voters I think that that's a reflection of what's been going on with the media and the fact that media has been banging this drum for a very long time and that most people still don't really understand what assault rifles are support amongst Republicans for repealing the 2nd Amendment was pretty low so I think that's a positive but I think that people don't understand what socialism is I don't think they understand what assault rifles are I don't think that they understand what rights. What rights are right I think fundamentally they do not understand the importance of freedom I think that's what this shows predominantly and that's where we need to focus our attention and I think it's worse with younger people than with older people it's worth worse with Democrats and with Republicans it's even worse with Bernie Sanders supporters and Elizabeth Warren supporters but it's not good all across the port we have to start with foundational core principles and work our way up from there how do you do that Justin I mean I know this is what you do for a living at the Heartland Institute this is what you do for a living how do you do that how do we turn this around when it's our it is institutionalized in our educational system from birth to graduation. Right to the 2 things I think the 2 most important ways to battle these problems to fight against socialism number one you absolutely every single parent every single grandparent aunt uncle friend family member who's concerned about this issue needs to talk to younger people about these issues they need to teach kids while they're in the school system before they get to the public school system basic core concepts about individual rights and respecting other people's rights that's number one we have to take that seriously Number 2 we need to get we need to break the stranglehold that the government has on public education and we and the only way to do that is with school choice there are universal school choice ideas that have been out there for a very long time universal education savings accounts programs etc We don't have them even in the most conservative states why don't we have that in states like Texas and Alabama and places where we'll have all kinds of been in charge for a long time we don't have it there either it is shocking to me how bad Texas is you know I live here in the eighty's and Texas was a different place in the eighty's compared to what it is now it is drifted far Texas you know has very powerful unions and teachers you know the Teachers Federation here is very very strong they have they have taken over our schools and nobody wants to do anything about it it least in the upper levels you're right and it's not just in Texas it's all across no one tree it's the most conservative states in the country the teachers unions are still the most powerful political organization at the state level in many cases but especially at the local level I mean the local at the local level teachers dominate virtually every election they decide who is going to be put in control of school boards and local elections for city council and things like that it's mostly decided by teachers and teachers are being taught it's far less teeth. Just colleges across the country where they're being indoctrinated with the idea that they need to be indoctrinating other people about socialism and so it's this endless cycle destress in conservative states and liberal states and in moderate states it's distressed towards socialism because foundationally the people who are teaching younger people are all on the left side of the political spectrum and the only way to get rid of that is to have school choice so that parents can take their kids out of those schools and put them in schools that embrace the values that they believe in but right now unless you can afford a private school or less you can afford to homeschool your child you don't have that of that option and so conservatives need to make it clear that if No Republican should be supported no conservative candidate should be supported no Democrat no political candidates should be supported unless they embrace school choice well thank you for doing the survey and and breaking that survey here and hopefully it will be picked up because I think so many people have no idea how bad things are really truly getting in America and something better wake them up pretty soon just in thank you so much thanks a lot you bet my bike by the way Justin is a guy who has helped write the next book called arguing with a socialist. Comes out after the 1st of the year I think it comes out right right before the Super Tuesday does it not arguing in socialist It's a great great book you know come from the cost of the arguing with idiots and and An Inconvenient Book you're going to love it and it makes a great gift for anyone. Who is being indoctrinated in school. They may not like it so much but they'll read if they just open it if they'll just open it all of the facts are in the I mean I think this is the most footnotes we have of any book we've ever written. And it's all well documented and it's hard to argue hard to argue that just open it good luck with that but buy it for them anyway and maybe one day they'll be stuck in an elevator with it and will be forced to read if Yeah well I mean here's the thing it what's going to happen is you're going to have it you're going to read it and then when they're sitting around and they're talking to you you're going to know what their argument is and you're going to be able to argue it yourself so all right somewhere out there there's a guy shopping online for Christmas but he's not doing it in the way that you and I would normally think this guy is shopping using somebody else's credit card information he smiles around the big cigar that he's chomping Yeah sure he thinks I'm a monster but now I'm a monster with a complete set of decorative dish towels and a Barry Manilow greatest hits cd Oh yes there are unscrupulous.

They go into the Glenn Beck program every weekday morning from. Here on the Patriot for getting to the point 3. And I feel like I feel like. Gene Wilder at the end of the producer's no way I know if. There is a way out there is a way out we just have to choose to do it and we have to we have to get back to where we were I think we're so beaten up with the Tea Party because the Tea Party was about elections and you know the $912.00 project was not about elections it was about education it was about it was about principles and values and those never go out of style and those are the things that we have to get back to to teaching and to living in our own life. Yeah agree that that would be an ideal solution I mean I feel like it gets tougher and tougher particularly right now with the way the media covers Trump to think any you know further along than whatever today's news cycle item is but don't choose sides in the news if the news cycle is. Getting less and less credible now and I mean people are not watching it as much as they used to they're not listening to it as much I mean we pay in media and talk radio we pay more attention to the mainstream media than I think the average person does the average person doesn't they'll get it from Facebook and everything else they're not getting it. From all of the shows that you know c.n.n. Nobody's watching c.n.n. Yeah I mean that coverage though does inform Yes ago our coverage and that does it trickles down it's not just what c.n.n. Reports is that 500 other sources report on what c.n.n. Reported correct so it does get the influence is significant Well you know the only problem fixing this and until we solve this we're not going to be able to solve anything. There is no investigative journalist news arm that is credible that the conservatives can all feast off you know like for instance we do investigative you know reporting on Ukraine Well let me just let me flip this so. You know. Ben Shapiro does something we're so busy that we don't necessarily see Ben Shapiro but if Ben Shapiro or if if there was a news source that Ben was basing his opinion off. And it wasn't directly competitive for everybody if there was a news source that was out there that maybe all of us put our money into. We could we could go on our own narrative right now we can only respond to their narrative because they're the only ones producing the news we're commenting on it we need a conservative news that's credible that is big robust and can compete has the money to be able to compete because if we're all going off of c.n.n. We're all in me talking about what they want to talk about you're right they're setting the agenda right and we can say well this part of it is wrong and here's why Right but we're still responding to they don't have to respond to us because we're just voices and opinions on what they've done. If there is credible journalism being done on the right that we can all comment on then we flip the table and everybody has to respond they have to respond to what our journalists have dug up and said and that's only going to happen if all of the people on the right start to get together and try to develop some Associated Press.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program talian police say that they have seized weapons and far right propaganda material from the homes of 19 suspected extremists who were hoping to form a Nazi Party in the country not that I was a good idea you want to start a Nazi is not a sudden I started out the party that's also in this going to use stream really unpopular and will be taken out of context so just no here is the whole context. I completely understand in Germany why they did that I mean. They banned the Nazi party and you know at the time I can't imagine you know if if you just fought that war and you got out of a concentration camp and so he's like yeah well my neighbors go into a Nazi rally you'd be like what what what what what that's still happening is we're having Did we just a feat that I mean it's. So I don't know what I would have done in Germany. However the idea that the Italian police are going to shut down these people now if it's violent Yes And strangely Nazis usually are. But the idea of shutting down a party or shutting down speech really bothers me you know it seems foreign is the way I would put it you know it seems like a weird cultural thing that would happen in Europe but couldn't happen here because we have something called a 1st Amendment and no matter how bad the ideas are from a I mean there have been I mean American Nazi Party is it was a 0930 s. It was huge huge it's supported after your way after the war I mean it was still active in the in the United States one of the they had a presidential candidate who had run all the time but she was assassinated shockingly by by another Nazi but that was something that's real and to this day I mean you know we all know people in this audience at least know the communists have killed a lot more people than Nazis have and we have an American Communist Party too we have a Socialist Workers Party we have a bunch of parties that represent communism everywhere with the the communist witch hunt of the 1950 s. . You don't have a right to go in and if that's not America in America it's un-American to say that specific ideas should be banned we we dismiss them we mock them we win against them but we don't ban political parties obviously there are exceptions at the extremes when you're talking about like if a party is advocating the murder of the guy down the street well that's a totally different law that would sound island right but I mean an idea like up until including the idea that hey you know Bob over there is in the Nazi party he thinks he's a period of Jews is that allowed and you can say that. Or you can say it he can form an entire party around how he's better than Jews and he can try to change the laws I will fight every day to make sure that he does not succeed and he won't succeed in this country because that is not that's not what this country was built on here here's the here's a real life example. How can you be against white supremacy in the United States of America and the idea of living in a supremacy state based on race and class but then support a state like Israel that is built on supremacy So this is Linda Sarsour And of course that is saying that the Jews think they are supreme to everyone else no no that's not that's not what they think you know that's not what they think. And does she have a right to say that yes do I have a right to disagree with or vehemently Yes Do I have a right to say she should go to jail for that no no and no one has that right because once you take that right from her you can be taken from you. And that's not even the that's a good rate way to personalize it but it's not the reason you do it if you don't do it because it could be taken away from you whether whether you think that can happen or not that's a good way of personalizing it so you realize the impact of it but in reality if their ideas are terrible they're still allowed to be said we said a lot of people make this point all the time with abortion where they'll say every people on the on the right will say look you're aborting all these kids you could have aborted the next Einstein you could have boarded next scientists or world leader that's absolutely true you also could have aborted a bunch of people who suck who are the people that get in your way at McDonald's in the drive through and take too long and the person is out of here with your order at the window right exactly that's the point whether they're the next world leader of the next Einstein It doesn't matter they get a right to live they get a chance to live their lives that's really really important and a lot of times we kind of personalize it and say well if we lose if they lose their right to speak but we might lose our right to speak well whether we do or not is not the issue it is their right to say dumb things so you know what you know what happen is there was this perversion I think of this American idea that you don't talk religion in politics now and you didn't do that because polite company you just don't talk about that stuff but that didn't come. Anything other then I mean I got the lectures when I was a kid I'm sure you did to your parents would talk to you and say they have a right they were right to believe that you can think that they're wrong all you want but you don't tell them what to think. You don't tell them unless they're breaking the law and hurting other people you don't tell them what to think or do it's none of your business I mean you can make an argument you can try to persuade them yeah but you certainly don't use the power of the state to stop them from doing something that is legal and not threatening someone else you know you can I mean look faith is something that makes arguments and judgments all the time about people's behavior there's nothing wrong with judging other people's behavior you can say all the time you think that their behaviors wrong here's why I think it's wrong here's what I think you should do but to to legislate the morning of morality is not right you can't I agree with that and I think there's some disagreement even on the right there at this point on this and it goes not only to sort of moral causes but also economic ones where there's this idea. Josh of this really well. Because this dividing line on the right he phrased it this way I think this is a great way of thinking about it and I have a really clear answer to this one but I do think that this is the divide on the right as it stands today he says the fundamental dividing question right now for those of us on the political right he's individual liberty worth pursuing as an intrinsically just end or is it merely a means sometimes worth pursuing toward a distinct political end like justice or human suffering or whatever just and it's just then in and of itself that is completely black and white there is no there really is no justice if you shut people's thought and speech down there's no justice now and i even if it's even if the culture turns against the things that you believe are right even if you're losing those battles you've got to fight harder you try to win but you don't bring the state in to him to put your values on the entire society and we're seeing that I think economically I mean Tucker Carlson makes this point I think you know he's a smart guy. It makes this point well or in Castro an entire book about it and it but it's using the power of the government to go towards just you know specific economic. Goals that the right is friendly with I mean John McCain did a lot of this you know you see this with people like Mike Huckabee where he will take the power of his office as governor and you know what I believe gluttony is wrong and people are too fat and we should we should change deliberately Bloomberg is a great example of it although sometimes his ends are liberal he sometimes they are they were conservative but he uses the use the state to push those things through and you know when he comes there are there are exceptions and there's there's nuance throughout this entire argument but to me as a fundamental question the freedom and the and liberty is that is the end that's what we're that's what we're targeting and this is really this is really so very simple I don't know why there's a disagreement on it if you believe in the Declaration of Independence the Declaration of Independence is our mission statement it was the letter to the king look you don't understand us you don't even know who we are we think differently here and we believe that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights among these life liberty and the pursuit of happiness and that the government is instituted among men to protect those rights that's it there's no there's nothing in the Declaration of Independence that says And because of that we're going to redistribute the wealth or we're going to make things more fair as a government no and pursuit of happiness is really key here to right pursuit it doesn't mean that we use the government to guarantee it because we think these things are wonderful right you know it's peak it's the pursuit you have the freedom to be able to pursue what you believe will make you happy and you know what you might fall flat on your face over and over again and never achieve it so so anyone who says well we've got a social engineer we have to do this we have to do that and it's not the government's role. The the mission statement the 2nd paragraph of the Declaration of Independence was saying this is what it looks like when we get there this is the finished product a place where all men know that they are equal they're created equal and they can pursue that happiness any way they want and the government's role is to protect that individual from doing what they feel is right as long as they're not killing people and and you know stealing that's it that's what we're supposed to be doing we believe as Americans at least we used to we believe in the power of the individual and if you want to empower individuals you're going to have to live with the fact they're going to make choices that you're not going to like you're a parent when you're a parent you know at some point you've got to let it go you've done everything you can they're going to make decisions that you don't agree with some of them might work out to your surprise some of them are going to end exactly the way you thought that they would end but you don't tell your children exactly what to do or you drive a wedge between you and them you'll destroy your relationship we are looking at our government as a parent and telling the parent to get involved in all of these adults lives and tell them what's right or wrong it automatically drives a wedge between people and between the government. That's not who we are that's not what the system was meant to be you want that system design a new system but that's not what this one is you know I grew with you I mean and that's the part that bothers me I mean the 2nd part of the statement which is is individual liberty merely an means sometimes worth pursuing toward a distinct political end is the way the left thinks about the world yes the left uses individual liberty when they want to Borson it's a nice little trick to get you could they want the portion so that one thing they say individual liberty is really important can get in a way of between a woman and her doctor it's a body her choice it's all individual liberty because it's not a principle it's just a means to get to whatever they want today and so we go down that road where them. We are them it is ape intrinsically just and to pursue individual liberty not the other way around and we we have in the midst of the political arguments we do lose that I think sometimes and I think that's dangerous we have to remember you know we're different from the left not just because we want slightly different policies because what happens is you get the Bloomberg thing where Bloomberg has been a Republican and a Democrat I don't know that he's changed positions on anything you know he just going down whatever road serves him at whatever time and he's a big time progressive and so he's able to use the power of the state to whatever ends he wants we need to be different I don't want to be Michael Bloomberg I don't want to be anything like Michael Bloomberg I don't want him anywhere near me the party I belong to the principles that I have he's no it is largely so debased my opposition sure.

The understanding that pursuit of happiness does not mean success you know America has been made into a land of stuff and a land of plenty whoever has the most wins and is happy you look at people in Hollywood and everything else and I'm not saying you but you know most of the people will look at that and say you know they're happy no they're not they're miserable they're miserable Do you think Gretta Thurman Berg is happy and miserable as she's physically incapable of smile oh my god how did you doesn't know do you want to live that way Barbra Streisand I don't care how much money or fame I don't want to live like her and so it's not about success it's about the pursuit of happiness what makes you happy this bothered me so much when when we 1st had children and Tony was a born mother she was just born to be the best mom ever and and she's done it and that's pursuing her happiness but the world was doing everything they could to convince her that you're a stay at home mom you're worthless Well you know there might be a might not be what that person wants to be but that's what she wants to be why do you have to force your view on her she's not going to force it on you.

Starts next right after this Fox News Update. The impeachment report is out. By the leaders of the a $300.00 plus page report from the House Intelligence Committee Democrats lays out evidence they say that President Trump put his personal political interests above the national interest and tried to undermine the integrity of the presidential election process the report is a capstone to a months long impeachment inquiry by the House Intelligence Committee in the whether u.s. Military aid and White House visit were withheld from Ukraine to pressure the government there to announce investigations of Democrats including former Vice President Joe Biden the report also details Democrats accusations of obstruction by President Trump by refusing key administration members to testify in witness intimidation on Capitol Hill. How Fox News the White House calls it a one sided sham a process that failed to produce any evidence of wrongdoing President Trump speaking earlier today on the sidelines of a NATO summit is John Decker live at the White House the president criticizing the impeachment process in London hours before the release of the House Intelligence Committee report these are very.

A long time listener 1st time discord Caller Hey all right great you sound good go ahead. Please before I get to my main point one of them was you're advertising health insurance I think and I just wanted to tell a quick story about experience I had in Arizona Wal-Mart I went pick up a prescription and be on with the Tucker check now it was oh nice you. Get on your phone and look up good all rx thought on because you might have a coupon for this and so I did and she figured well that was pretty cool I don't know maybe everyone's heard this but me but yeah music C.D.'s and they did the same thing for me for a while my wife was doing it because I probably would have a look but the yeah we use the good r.x. At my household to. Wanted to throw that out in case anyone hadn't heard it you know. the 'd other thing I wanted to mention the other day when I called Ben about Mike. And I was going to play and I wanted to mention. You go they have been real I. Kind of are on your well I'm sure this actually wasn't specifically Obama real i.d. Has been in place since the Bush administration because I remember Mark when we moved up here to New Hampshire that was one of the issues that was that some of the activism hot button issue they were active on right before we moved it was like still kind of going when we came up here there were some great protests that Lauren and learning Ario and Jim Johnson did where they dressed up as Nazi soldiers and put up like a checkpoint outside of the state house so this this was back in like 2005 I think so this is been going on for a long time what's happened though over the years of Libya is that the federal government has been trying to shove this real id thing down the states' throats and essentially what it is for those who aren't familiar it's a set of federal standards that they basically are trying to you know choke down on the states the states don't have to do real i.d. But they pretty much are are all doing it from what I understand I don't know if there's any other holdouts there may have initially there were a few holdout states of the complaints from the states surrounding the unfair and unfunded mandate aspect so they're going to make us put this stuff on our to driver's license but you're not giving us any money to do it that was the initial objection from some states who refused to go along with that New Hampshire was one of those states I guess something changed I mean I haven't followed all the you know the dirty political details of exactly how New Hampshire got convinced to come on board with this but eventually the federal government you know has been saying for the last several years you. Get this real i.d. Or else we're not going to let you fly anywhere and they've they've kept on you know coming at these states state governments with these threats which in my mind are just straight up lies they're just trying to intimidate people it's not true I don't believe that they're going to actually refuse people to be able to fly they'll make it more difficult for you they might you know give you the super secret special search and question you or something like that before you're allowed to get on board an airplane but given that you can fly without an identify without id at all I don't see how it would be that they would refuse to allow you to fly if you had an i.d. But it just wasn't the federal you know real i.d. There's probably just could be extra hoops but that's what they've been saying right so there's no penalty for government when they tell lies so they can get out there and say we're going to stop you from flying if you don't get this real i.d. And people believe them because you know it's the government so they figure they're you know that's the way it's going to be but it I'm telling you it's not going to be that way so what they've kept doing is they kept putting off this deadline that they would have the deadline set for you know 2015 or 2017 or whatever it was they had them over the years and they kept pushing back and pushing it back and so it like it didn't it wasn't even something you could really take that seriously because they never really cracked down on any of these deadlines they just kept moving them back so now we're supposed to believe that I think it's is it 2021 or 2020 that's the deadline now I forget which at this point I've stopped paying attention I mean to be honest I just don't take it terribly seriously but there is a point it's coming though clearly there is another deadline and it's coming up within the next year year and a half and supposedly you won't be able to fly but anyway that's what the real ideas the ones with the golden star are the real i.d. Compliant I.D.'s and the ones without are not I guess some states I presume that they're all real i.d. But other states like New Hampshire you can choose although the bureaucrats at the d.m.v. In New Hampshire. I have been trying to and encourage the real id so they've been propagating this misinformation these lies to the people that come in and say well you know you might want to get the real id because they've basically been the making of people opt out sort of defaulting to real i.d. Now is what your experience there. Well it's interesting you say that because I had to go home I don't I'm sure maybe 5 pushed the issue I could've said well just treat me like a long citizen but I think that you can still fly with a passport but honestly after all that's considered a real i.d. The passport I had a passport is a federal id so the passport is by default it's compliant with the real i.d. Strictures So it's just seems like like those protesters that Honestly it felt menacing it felt all and it really did feel like I don't see Germany I don't you know I had to go home like twice to get the papers because they wanted to know Bill to show that I wimped as the resident that I was that they wanted security card and they wanted a birth certificate or a passport or something like that so it was it was pretty and thin and it did not feel good and I was like well what if what if I don't have these things what to just put me to you know what if I want to be put down as a non-citizen that they would really hear of it is that what they told me was that you'd be a non-citizen if you didn't have a real i.d. . You know I honestly don't remember exactly how to me a big threat like well you will have a cold they're already doing you know. It sounds like something right I've been living a life without a gold star for some time if I mean what it whenever they're passing out gold stars they almost all the starlight lounge presents an evening class in the movie mean.

Cause I was curious as to what is the the news suppose a deadline they say that it will be October 1st of 2020 when you will they claim no longer be allowed to here's the quote what happens to travelers who show up without a compliant license will the t.s.a. Turn them away this is from the Department of Homeland Security's website they say travelers who do not present a real i.d. Compliant license or acceptable alternative beginning October 1st 2020 will not be permitted through the security checkpoint Wow But on the other hand if you go to the t.s.a. Is website there is a question there I forgot my identification can I still proceed through security screening in the event you arrive at the airport without proper id because it's lost or at home you may still be allowed to fly by providing additional information t.s.a. Has other ways to confirm your identity like using publicly available databases so you can reach your flight if your identity cannot be verified you will not be allowed to enter the screening checkpoint one time I had my id in the wrong spot pocket and I I found it later but I couldn't find it there in the line so you didn't think I didn't think you had it on you and I had to go through some extra screening they did the blue glove love and patted me down and all my special spots and ask some questions I'm sure they did whatever they are yelling answer anything as long as I get my flight you know. And you got on and I got on no problem how much x. There is a leg I'm not much so you don't feel did it take you to a separate room and sit you down and you know it no go through a long no repertoire of questions No Ok we've got a Livia who's still on the line with us here Libya you'd called in to kind of bring up real i.d. But ultimately you wanted to talk about the woman in Utah facing jail time a significant amount of jail she says she's looking at like 3 misdemeanor charges of lewdness involving a child because she was topless around her 3 step children and nobody actually even knows when this event took place so she's been charged with this so-called crime and they don't even know when it happened they just know the mother of the stepchildren complained to the police one of the police detectives called her and she probably not knowing her rights and knowing anything about keeping quiet when it comes to speaking to the police likely simply admitted to doing this so they brought criminal charges against her who would have thought this was a gun problem in her own home right yeah so headed to Utah of course yes indeed so but that's not to say this couldn't happen somewhere else Olivia go ahead with your questions or comments about this sure real quick though I just wanted to say yesterday a friend of mine bought me told him what. You need and they're. Free from. This and I don't. But all or not so I have so many questions about this so well I think in the Christian an hour or so your child speech say in Europe or you know international sex crime or even here in the u.s. Or sex. You know my question is you know. What age you. Know some people breastfeed. Through I've heard the story and I did meet a couple where they were talking about we. Being their 6 year old and how he verbal he expressed his displeasure with not being able to nurse before briefly before going to bed because he had been doing this I don't know 1st 6 years and his whole life and you know I keep trying to pull up Mom sure when they can when they can yank your shirt up play these I'm thinkin this little adventure is over but that's just my opinion you do you but this was this is hilarious to me my wife and I well my wife breastfed for some time but you know she even thought this was just bizarre. Well like Native Americans used Well from what I've heard based on a breast feed for a while because it was good nutrition that you know that more nutrition for everybody there is they didn't have to feed their kids as much meat but it was also like nutrient rich and one for like getting pregnant and so there were some bandages at least back in the day and that brings me to the Native Americans and yes the Mariano I went native they used to go around talk was are we saying that all these sanctions the fighting is all we're using their children by not wearing a white man's shirt it's not just by hearing the children are forcing them into those boarding schools where they died or. You know there's just so much here and who is this I mean everyone how. Weird like and it's only been the whole part that gets covered which is the universal you know I don't know that we've all got off and that's one of the points the woman was making in court was my husband was there he was topless too how come that's not a problem why isn't that a crime you know a crime this is Utah Lady Well I don't want to we're not going on that is you know in today's changing sexual preferences like you know homosexuality is becoming much more open and common I suppose. It should not have to be covered as well you know all about wealth and temptation then you guys got to put on. You know she could have said that at that moment in time I identified as a man. Thanks for the call and I don't know if you know definitely appreciate hearing from you there on our discord server if you want to sound great like that you can connect to our discord at Dischord dot l.r.n. Dot f.m. Yeah I don't think that one should have to go through these genius Legations of sort of you know saying this thing or that think it should be Ok to be topless info in your home should be Ok to be topless anywhere in front of children. I guess would be easy though. Oh my God she took her shirt off when she was covered in. Fiberglass from from being in the roof Well the prosecution is claiming they can change the law on this because it would actually put children in danger because this specific the lawyer lewdness with a lewd act with a child has to do with you know if you touch a girl's breast then that's considered a lewd act they say well we can't treat women we can't treat women the same as men otherwise it won't protect the children from you know perverts want to touch them always the children to kill us because it's a station they claim dot com has launched a trading platform at local dump it coin dot com allowing you to buy or sell big cash via dozens of payment methods like Pay Pal then no bank deposit remittances or meeting in person with cash there are no id requirements to sign up for and use the site and all communications between buyers and sellers are encrypted finally a global trading platform that respects your privacy visit local dot pickling dot com to get started trading big cash local big calling dot com you will understand the true intent of the founding fathers when they wrote the Constitution if you attend this free weapon our Chris and all President of Liberty 1st university doesn't simply regurgitate what some professor or expert has said about the constitution she relays the thoughts and opinions of those who wrote the documents her straightforward passionate easy to understand style lives anyone grasp the principles of liberty join us at l.

I'm a looking for your 2nd program welcome I think earlier you were talking about somebody that got in trouble with the federal government because they were trucking cryptocurrency with North Korea Yeah yeah we didn't get into the story but yeah there's a headline about that yeah and but then on the other hand you know you kind of plan that government because. They you know they're coming down on those people but then on the other hand you talk about freedom and you know North Korea suppresses freedom probably more than any country in this world and I don't know why they want why would we want to help them out. On a technological Well this is my thought process that is this I'm free and I don't belong to the United States federal government I am free now you know I can declare myself free as often as I jerk but they can put you in a prison cell if they want and like we all deal with it right like the federal government can do what it wants even if you're to free people it can crack down any time it feels like it so I don't see education as a bad thing now the federal government may see education is a bad thing but presuming and I haven't read the story yet with this guy but presuming this guy isn't working for the United States federal government he's not guilty of treason because he's hasn't taken an oath or anything so I think the free people should be able to educate whom they wish about what technologies they want don't you think that or you think that the free people are able. To help a dictator. Solidifying his position. I mean. I think that well for one I don't know that that's what that guy thought I saw I believe freedom I think you believe in money no I look I believe well Bunny will provide you with some freedom however what I believe in is that in your freedom to educate Kim Jong un cryptocurrency I'm not going to do it because I wouldn't walk I wouldn't step foot into North Korea I'd be afraid I would be able to come back I would want to help the federal government learn about it either I don't want any power seeking sickos to be able to control anything you know that could possibly you know set people free I'm not so silly as to say that I think the United States federal government is the same thing as the North Korean government the difference those only in degree but it's in degrees Oh come on you can listen what planet are you going to live in well wait a minute hold on maybe you haven't heard but the United States has more people in prison by percentage of its population and maybe even roll numbers I think than than pretty much any other place on the planet and they're all in there because they join I know I've heard no no no it's not that he was a percentage of people in jail or in for drug crashed a lot of federal prisoners are absolutely there for nonviolent drug crimes are you guys really know anything about con you know or do you just you know kind of laughter I think we got on the air for a long time I mean what do you mean by knowing things about communism Well I mean you do you actually understand and know what happens. When they convert to. Islam or. It's generally pretty yeah yeah sucks we studied Venezuela quite was just 2 weeks ago tried to try to take the condescending tone down your standard only listened to the show twice I get it went down to the group Brothers your money your American dollar Oh I see now about now I'm a bad American for going to Cuba Oh yeah absolutely.

Dot f.m. She found that Potemkin village now that she mentioned it does ring a bell was the fake idyllic village that the u.s.s.r. Showed to visitors so that people would be fooled about how successful communism was so the guy the rude gentleman that was the earlier think were communists I'm not sure what do you thought he wasn't really being real clear he certainly thinks that we don't know as much about history is as he does and so he brought up this or you haven't you heard of but good and well we weren't real sure and so therefore he's just as there are lots of history professors out there that wouldn't make as good of a talk show host as meek as evidenced by the fact that I've been a talk show host by 20 there with or he dismissed everything you know that we had to say even though we've been criticising communism on the air here for well over a decade of having been on free talk live. And I think what he was suggesting was that you when you visited Cuba were to unknowingly being shown up Potemkin village you were being you were being put into without your awareness into an area where they were trying to show you the best side of communism and so on it's Ok well if they were trying to do that then all they did was convince me that communism absolutely positively could never work not. I ever had any doubts before I walked in I mean you know no one gets more free market than me the critiques that I have against the United States government are critiques against the government not critiques against free market economics I believe in free market economics that's why we are against the United States government ceases to be free as a free market that I have a problem absolute and all extol Cuba as they become more free market yes they have a long ways to go to get as free market as the United States but they have put in some reforms right last in the United States is going down the list of economic freedom to put out by the Heritage Foundation every list that's put out there right more than just their budget but a conservative cares about a conservative list or Heritage Foundation is a conservative list that says the United States is demonstrably becoming less and less economic economically free over time and presumably if they if they're checking out Cuba I haven't looked at the list as I don't live in Cuba so I don't care about where they come in the list I care about the us but I bet you it's rising but if course it's rising because they're becoming more free market they've got a long way to go to get better so even though we might not have known often off hand what Potemkin was that he was referring to and he wasn't clear if he was arm of the village or the shipper I mean I could pop in with some vocabulary word asking what that means but we certainly know that in North North Korea they do the same thing because we talked about I'm sure they do that they go to a hotel that has like 25 floors but only one or 2 of them are outfitted and they are very concerned with keeping people on a very specific track of places that they can visit the sort of government approved places these shows stores that only exist for tourists the normal people in North Korea aren't allowed to shop there and so they absolutely have the Potemkin Village thing going you know full size Full Sail in North Korea but because we took you know and we haven't really even gone to the story about it yet but about this guy who. Went over to the d.p. R. K. To the. North Korea and gave some sort of a presentation about cryptocurrency presumably to the government gang there I wouldn't have chosen to do that but in my view what he did was just exercise free speech he went over and talked to some people and this is one of the important things to point out about free speech is the founders of this country didn't want it otherwise they would have put it in the fact is that the Constitution was bounced back and the people said we want a list of rights and they were pretty clear and speech was really high on that list and free speech is basically only an American phenomenon it's extraordinarily important to freedom and here's another little fact about it free speech doesn't need to be free if the things you're saying are popular that's true and if what if free speech if you have free speech in the United States you need you should be able to have it according the United States government anywhere on the planet and that means that a person who knows about crypto currency should be able to go to North Korea and teach North Koreans about right cryptocurrency wasn't revealing state secrets to them or something like that he was talking about a thing that anybody who's got internet access which a lot of them in North Korea probably don't could go and learn more about right let's get back to Dave though he is on the line with us here he wanted to tell us why he has deleted all of the apps on his phone Dave you're back on go ahead. Yeah well I sort of if you are talking you got me all the way and probably on the ranch and kind of seriously get rude Well Dave that's just the way business you know the business is done we have to have breaks so our radio stations can play commercials in in the in our you know version of this radio thing we have what are called Hard brakes which means we cannot avoid them they always happen where they happen when they happen and sorry you just ran right up against one of them so go on what was your point of your call because like the rest of my call you guys can put me on hold and. I have a solution for you to hold Ok I have a solution for you let me let me let me tell you what you can do here hold on some kind of giving.

Marine biologists in India say they found an invasive species of muscle that could threaten native shellfish they say the American brackish water mussel usually lives in Central and South America but it's been spreading along the coast of Carolina here's under a senator Arjun earlier this year during a routine course to survey a group of scientists noticed huge clusters of small black mussels clinging onto plastic bottles bottles and nets they were different from the native green muscles which is the popular seafood in catalogs state a detailed examination has no established that the American brackish water muscle is spreading along the coast that increasing numbers could pose a threat to the native green but id affecting a lucrative industry and jobs biologists think they might have been carried to the region by ballast water which ships use to improve stability b.b.c. News. Welcome to the compass on the b.b.c. World Service I'm Sandra can fall. We're standing in the special exhibit at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic here in Halifax Nova Scotia Canada. We're looking at 17 contemporary women who are redefining the ways of living near the sea and still as one of them. Stella is Stella Bowles she's 15 years old it says Stella Bowles m s m m s m m s m stands for Meritorious Service Medal and that's the word I received from the Governor General of Canada last summer so when I'm at school I read a big say I'd like to put Stella balls and most o. My teachers ask me sometimes is that necessary and I always say of course not bad to be 15 and have your own special initials but after that it's pretty cool that this is. What earned this 10th grader the right to use such grand initials after her name the project was called open source that I thought. Oh poop it's worse than I thought was Stella's entry into her year 6 Science Competition So how is it that the results of a cleverly titled school project run by a citizen scientists trying generation z. Convinced the Canadian government to launch an environmental project costing more than $15000000.00. If you look up the most common words used to describe a teenager you'll find a list of adjectives like awkward rebellious and arrogant is that a fair summary of teenage traits it probably depends on what mood you catch them in adults often dismissed teenagers as being irresponsible too connected to their phones to take in the world around them but I've been lucky enough to meet a large number of teenagers around the globe in the last year to say nothing of the ones I'm attempting to raise and these young adults strike me as being anything but unaware and disengaged quite the opposite. In this 3 part series The Kids Are All Right you meet a variety of teenagers who are using their initiative and determination to try and do what they can to change the world in which they live like here in this extraordinarily beautiful part of Canada. For the radio audience who can't see how unbelievably gorgeous this is describe what we're looking at so right now we're standing on my front porch and we're looking right along the river we see houses on the other side of the river there are some trees we were little front lawn here it's autumn when I visit so the vibrant colors on the trees reflect beautifully off the pristine looking river it's so disappointing to realize this is something of an illusion a river has a dirty secret when you look at it it's beautiful if you really just want to dive right in scope for a swim or get in a boat but it's dangerous not scary Stella's family has lived on the banks of the Hay River in Nova Scotia for over 100 years in fact many of the houses along the river are quite old and one problem with old houses old plumbing many of the homes here were built with systems which haven't passed the test of time when the septic system is tell us families house collapsed they were told they had to make an expensive upgrade fast so my mom's kind of upset at the gentleman that was telling us we had 3 months to fix it and at the dinner table that evening she was going on about straight pipes and how our neighbors have these pipes and I said What's a straight pipe and that's where the whole story starts. Straight pipes are cheap alternative to modern day septic systems they deposit the contents of a residential toilet directly into the nearest body of water they are illegal but along the way hey river there are hundreds of them that means whoever swims in the river is going for a dip in the waste from their neighbors or laboratory so when the. 7 year old Stella asked if she could go for a swim in the river right in front of her house her mother of course said no I was disgusted I was upset I didn't understand why people had these it made no sense this is where Stella science project comes in the one you heard about earlier with a catchy title with the help of a neighbor she set out to test the contamination levels in the a haven river and when we had a result of being keep better after 36 hours we looked at them and they were appalling anything over 170 the water should be in contact with your skin and the levels in our town Bridgwater were over a 1000 and this is a 1000 and 2 o'clock I put 100 milliliters What's an anorak and it's measurement for fecal bacteria like why. Stella showed me a picture of what an early testing card looked like when it came out of the incubator so you can see the dots here they're in a circle so each dot you count and if they're over 70 you shouldn't swim and if they're over 175 the water shouldn't be in contact with your skin so our town it was. Like one big don't. Know what your town looks like to look that's a fairly disgusting photo but the green circle on a yellow background it should only have a few dots and if you're having a clean river and that is just covered in brown which was actually looks like the fecal matter which is a representation it does it's quite gross This is surface water testing as well so if you go in the water and you stir up the bottom the results are going to skyrocket you're going to have worse results because the fecal contamination you're settling it's not a glamorous way to put it but that's. So what do you want to do when you're a kid and you find out something really important of course you want to tell the world I wanted a Facebook page to warn our community but my mom said no you're 11 so Stella came up with a more targeted plan so we compromised we put a huge sign right here on our war and it said this river is contaminated with Eco bacteria and instantly we had the neighbors at the door we had media at the door asking who put the sign up and why it was there what the evidence was and evidence she had I've had a credit labs validate my testing I've done duplicate testing I've gone to Acadia university I've been in the lab to do grandstanding to prove that what I was testing for was and to think of bacteria so I've covered all my bases so people can't say well you're just a kid you don't know what you're doing because I've had scientists back me up after Stella sign got noticed her mom gave some ground on using social media and together they came up with a plan to keep the community updated on the results of her testing we compromised and we had a Facebook page my mom and I ran together then we had even more made. On even more calls and one night after hockey practice actually my mom said You'll never believe this we just had all 3 levels of government contact you the original Facebook page went up in November 25th and then February 26th seen as well and all the politicians contacted me. So after that I went to multiple council meetings about this issue if only became an issue that people talked about and had dinner conversations about it's not the best suffer conversation because it's but it's long as it got the point across then they announced that there was a chance to have $15700000.00 to clean up the river to replace these straight pipes but a chance of a government project with an estimated 15 point $7000000.00 Canadian dollars is not the same as a guarantee and Stella knew that while we were waiting for the federal funding to come through it kind of got a little quiet we were getting a little worried that the money wouldn't come through so we put up a new sign on our wharf the sign said $600.00 plus homes toilets directly into this river and it was sitting right along our busy busy busy highway and people drive past it going to work going home every day but it was going to stay up until something was going to happen so as soon as they announced the funding the municipality called me and said Ok we take your sign down now and I said no so not until the river is clean and then they called me back again and said Ok well now that the funding is coming through your sign down and I said Ok as long as it goes through I'll take it down but if anything stops I put it right back up. Had a mentor on her project a neighbor who also lived along the river retired physician David Maxwell she achieved what we couldn't as adults Dr Maxwell bought one of those old houses in Stella's neighborhood and when he discovered it had straight pipes he swiftly replaced them he then tried to join forces with other locals to address the problem of pollution in the river but they struggled to get their message heard. We started doing our own testing to try to document the levels of pollution and then having got results we sent them off to all the politicians we could find and they completely ignored us and then he met Stella I undertook to teach you how to do science and the concept of generating accurate valid and reproducible data we were completely unsuccessful we adults she got away with it because she was a kid and it's impossible for a politician to say well you don't know what you're talking about or you are just a kid and so you don't understand and we're not going to pay any attention to you but I think that's exactly what a politician would say that you're too young you don't know what you're talking about and they happily walk away and ignore someone who doesn't vote or who can't vote absolutely but if that young person puts up a sign on the river saying this river is polluted which is seen by everybody visiting the community it's very difficult for a politician to say but it doesn't matter she shamed the politicians into taking an interest in it. So this is your words covered it's taken all of our family knickknacks and kind of move them to the top shelf of the bottom shelf and I have I have the middle child who are in impressive cabinet for a 15 year old thank you very much I am very proud of everything Stella shelf in the cupboard contains a variety of science and environmental awards she's also met the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and has been invited to give a ted talk on her experiences later this year plus there's one other more unusual. Accolade Yes I'm the youngest ever published micro paleontologist in the world which is really fun title to tell people Well what do your friends think about all this work that you do I don't speak about my project with my friends it's just not a topic that comes up why this is awful but I find jealousy is very present in my age category with what I'm doing what do you think they'd be jealous about I travel a lot for this project I miss about 50 days of school a year and I am almost always like here's an article from last week I think of me in the paper and just I'm always one round on social media I'm not sure how does that make you feel it's kind of upsetting to know that I can't talk about something that I'm extremely passionate about with my friends because they're just. Sitting at the kitchen table with us Stella's mom Andrea she's a teacher at a local school and also acts as stylish gatekeeper Stella refers to her as her mama Ger So Stella has a lot of teachers across Canada and around the world that are definitely in support of her and definitely want to contact her we had a little girl left in years old the other day from Ontario who's doing a project actually of biography on Stella. It's been a hard balance really as a parent to give you all of these great opportunities and then try to help you reconnect with being a normal kid still has adapted to a routine which weaves back and forth between a world populated with grown ups and her everyday life as a student she plays hockey in volleyball is a fan of Taylor Swift and keeps up with her homework pump planes and buses when she's traveling with a teacher for a parent slipping grades aren't really an option there's an inevitability about my next question in that at the moment the teenage environmental campaigner that's getting quite a lot of attention is going to. But not all the attention is good does that concern you. Yes but no because there are people who still understand what she's doing knowing that she's doing a positive thing for a better world and we have to really focus on the positive rather than the negative still as worked out how to handle the attention her campaign has brought her and it's a useful commodity if you're trying to attract attention to a cause however if social media has taught us anything in the past few years it's that a spotlight is something to be handled with care with Stella situation when she was in Facebook if there was someone that posted something negative we didn't respond we let the other people in the community respond in take that on and that worked really really well and she's always so positive and I think that's the other part I don't know if she told you that often on Facebook I draft up what she was going to say and then I was never allowed to post anything obviously because it's in her voice and she'd come and read it and then she would totally rip what I wrote apart my mom would write my speeches she showed them to me no I'm not saying that that's too negative nobody wants to listen to me say things that are positive and that's made a big difference in how people hear you I think for sure yes and even when I would post things on my Facebook page we'd use big science the words like cockeye are things that people might not fully understand but that in brackets I put hoop I just have things that anyone and everyone can understand what I'm trying to get across the ability to communicate a message clearly is rare enough in adult. Style as aim is to demonstrate how anyone of any age can be the guardian of their local waterways with a simple testing kit and some determination it's a message that travels well sure enough I was in Sweden then I was had my kid with me I went to a few schools and the students there were very involved with the science and they were like yeah I want to take the poll I want to get the sample or can I do the next step for testing what I was eating lunch in the big cafeteria. There were 2 younger boys that hadn't been in the classroom that I was presenting in and doing that has to and they said if you're from Canada right can we get your autograph and I thought I was really sweet and funny because nobody had ever asked me for my autograph. Than human and I will do you pretty Hello my name said they would surely Emmanuel Oh man you know how old you are 13 and so you guys met Stella when she was here Yes What made you ask for her autograph because she was famous do you know what she's famous for you know what she does. Stuff without a good thing yes that's something you'd like to do. Too much work clearly some people are going to be harder to motivate than others. Welcome to House or homes Montessori school in Sweden where Stella demonstrated her testing kit on a visit last year the woman who organized that trip is Jenny Larson a Ph d. Candidate at the world maritime University in Malmo I think we have a lot of things in common in Canada and Sweden and we can learn from each other when I went to Canada my mission was to bring home all the good solution ideas and I found that instead of bringing home some idea I brought home to. Help the students to actually do the sampling themselves and they had a discussion about all the e-coli bacteria that they found do you think the kids are going to follow it up yeah we actually applied for something to actually implement the levels projects here in Sweden as well among 4 schools and then actually starting with 4 classes taking water samples every month and at the same time they're doing the same thing in Canada so connected to Canadian classes with Swedish classes. For our Elizabeth Cohen I'm 15 and I'm 15 now and Sophie enema. 15 And did you will meet Stella Yes yes it was cool to see how she even at a young age how much she has been able to do she was wearing nice to. Did you take the testing kits and go out and test water here yeah we went down to where the river and we tested and what did you find a lot of bacteria is visually in the lake and what did you think when you found out about it I was shocked because I like playing in there and there are so certain that you shouldn't even touch the water so now that you know this what you going to do not swim there. In has at the moment the world's most famous teenager in gratitude to teenagers like Stella and Grettir do they inspire you do you think you guys could stand up and raise your voices and say listen to me I deserve to be heard absolutely everyone has something that they care about everyone doesn't care about the climate but maybe someone cares about other teenagers or poor countries and it inspires everyone to do something for their class. Borers beach in the middle of a mom or we've gone down in the boardroom waiters Michael Powell runs the Marine educational center in Malmo like the Maritime Museum in Nova Scotia they also have Stella's picture hanging on their wall today he's giving a class of schoolchildren kitted out in rubber waders a properly hands on lesson here we have the. Door classroom and then they'll go there walking down the Jedi as a group just into the sea it is rocking collectively into the sea. And that's how I ended up doing my 1st interview with waist high in the waters of an outlet of the Baltic. When you say really how old are you and 13 how are you finding you waiting around in the water here I like it do you think when you go home this makes you a bit more passion about the world around you and then you can start telling your parents you really should pay more attention to them. Yes because it's very important for the animals in the ocean to they suffered from all the best to get everything this I round here but if people help the play it can be better. Sweden has an impressive supply of environmentally aware teenagers one is 16 year old Elsie manual originally from across in Ghana she moved to Sweden when her father a professor took up a posting here and she's the winner of a Marine awareness competition she received 20000 kroner for a project to decrease the amount of plastic in the ocean and this wasn't just a competition for young people yes actually I was the only child in my division that was made you feel really good. And it's climate in the environment one of the great causes of your generation I think it is because if they are predicting for a world that is really true these will be real things for us up to now it has been easy for us to live just like everybody else but should. Weather conditions get harsh or life will get increasingly hard to live and it's hard to know if we will also be able to live the same lives that people live nowadays to do other things that we aspire to do like everybody wants to grow up pursue their dreams get their dream job make money start a family all the usual things and sometimes I think it's that if we don't do something like drastic about the environment and sustainability issues a whole generation of us might not have that opportunity that's carrying. Yes. I think. Every generation has different takes on different issues so I think we also have our unique of use to bring to the table. Just because we're young doesn't mean we don't have anything important to say. So right now we're on my mom's old computer and we're looking at my Facebook page doesn't look that old to me it's just very slow so we're just going to scroll down a little bit it could take a moment. Back in Canada Stella Bowles is showing me some of the latest entries on her website it's amazing that scooping up some water from the river and being persistently persistently curious about it has brought you all of this I never in my wildest dreams would have thought that any of this would have happened with this project I've come to realize ation that your age doesn't matter anymore you can create change in your community so I really want to promote that I want to show other youth that they can also create change and that sometimes you might do it yourself but you can go for me for example I didn't think this would ever happen and it has. So what to do next what he wanted to from here I'm not sure yet I'm leaning towards maybe environmental law studying there I'm not sure in 15 and it is pretty silly to ask 15 year olds what they want to do with the rest of their lives and it is a little silly because the world at your fingertips at this age and you could go into anything. Stella may not be able to pinpoint exactly where her future is going but she is pretty clear about what she wants for the river the one which runs right in front of her house. Success for this river would be to have all $600.00 straight pipes removed today are legal there gross and by 2023 The plan is to have all of them out so I'm hoping after my 1st year of university I think it will be to be able to just cannonball right and. You've been listening to the compass on the b.b.c.

German Hwang's dream was to build a city on the sea to be China's most daring real estate tycoon to turn a blank slate of countryside into paradise an entirely new type of Chinese city here he is taking me on a tour of his creation We're both speaking Chinese so myself and a translator are overdubbing the conversation who are meant to be any kissing it took only 4 years so construction to go from country said to city. 1000 companies some 120000 people a domain I tell him that I just am Denmark that there aren't building just tall anywhere there.

So all kid let me tell you about No 0 also of the rest of you see how high in these places you but she does usually evolve over hundreds of years is a slow process so my right is right but in China today there are people who can devote their lives to make it a city all on your own I want to make Don't most spectacular city in all of China the most spectacular city in the whole world. Knighthoods is. Even than 100. This is the story of Chairman long and his seaside city inspired by his travels to Disney World and Dubai the chairman planned every detail of this plane's 500 feet I do. Feel like it. Before it would have been impossible for a Chinese real estate tycoon like long to design an entire city by himself but not anymore this is China's 1st privatized city mewing to sit at that center but what does that even means. Those are what is smart and that's his of those a whole city is mine. I'm David Borenstein with b.b.c. World Service and this is Emperor complex. Chairman Wong built his city during the biggest building boom in human history in the 2 years when he started his Project 201-3214 China use more concrete than the USA did in the entire 20th century thanks. It's a city building Bonanza and it's had many successes but it also has glaring problems problems that Chairman one claims privatized cities could fix so before I go to seaside city I decided to see some of these problems for myself. Over these sad this was going to be the biggest of football stadium in all aphasia it can hold up to $30000.00 people but it's all going to waste I'm standing in a band in football stadium the field in the middle is overgrown local farmers are drying their crops on the 2nd level where the concession stands should be this is loudly a man that was collecting trash I asked him about the empty street box around the state of and. And. Yes it was a lot of. Talk in the presence of lamb from the village to build up. The global Garden City. Be a molder city obvious just 2 ways to land a little and that little They are using some of it there are plenty tropical fruits . Why angle. Was that one from Taiwan. Or let's. Local Chinese government's build new cities from scratch only after they build the whole thing are people supposed to move and the problem is that this doesn't always happen. Those towns aren't the most common result of Chinese urbanization but they do appear in my eyes its main problem the entire city building process is top down only government officials have any real say I make my way down to the temporary housing the place they put the original peasants who live here they just to come into your house with our land we have nothing to eat it's to cover him and they give us a little one We don't know what their beauty but we know their local government is getting reach humor has he it they made how do we speed is our m b But what can you do we don't really talk about our problems here no one dares to do it it's striking to me just how little power people here have to influence their cities how can you build a town with no input from the people who live and work in them you can say you're building a brand new city but it's not really going to happen until you have schools jobs real communities guaranteeing these things even the Chinese Communist Party can always do that but if the party can't do it. Could someone else. That's a Tariana source Rex screeching into my ear I'm in the central square of a new city farther to the northwest Normally this is where they would put a statue of Mao Zedong in this place they put a dinosaur an animatronic dinosaur. Welcome to seaside city an oasis in a desert. A town where they say the free market brings happiness and development to the people I'm here to interview Chairman one of the town's developers it would be the 1st time he ever spoke with a foreign reporter. Those aware that see that it's mine yes my shopping center I'm in the chairman's minibus He's a relatively short guy speaks Chinese with a heavy accent from the local dialect he's wearing Playboy brand clothing from head to toe I say that I came from Denmark to interview him that I recently moved there after living in China for many years. Thought it. How big is Denmark. What so smart us only 5500000 is that into you here you are so you know that they go. Oh. He takes a jar of chewing gum and pours about 30 pieces into my hand I put 2 in my mouth and pocket the rest you had to go as a new up those Look at all these people if I didn't build this place they wouldn't be here Chairman Wang built his town around a central shopping mall it's the Town Square the center of everything we walked through the courtyard leading up to what made hello just so why then so would you know this about 100000 people who come in here every day 100000 people look at all the people isn't it pretty did I do the job do you like it the chairman approaches a random pedestrian but something about John Guy. How about the city do you like it was what do you think of the public sanitation going on in here. Now he's motioning towards the person's camera saying I can have money how I played it he can take pictures of my dance so. He leads me into the shopping mall a row of people and stand by the door characters from Sponge Bob. Square Pants and clouds riding unicycles rainbow colored trains ride from one end of the massive mall to the other to see the intercooler that like this is a place where you come to experience new things we have a dinosaur theme park a skating rink and every simulators helicopters before the movie. He seems to have unlimited energy with a huge smile on his face he's running around his shopping center making sure I take photos of all the attraction and how much they're going to know how I look at the trail over there is a great shot for your piece I really like unlike any other Chinese businessman I've ever met he isn't overly cautious he's saying what's on his mind he's being real we hear a lot about the people who are transforming China into a superpower but when do we get a chance to really learn what makes them tick. For their goal as we should look at his people can you believe it is mine or that it is my shopping center check out the trains of the day this is a city I built as a one that has a. Deeper into the mall we arrive at the main event the crown jewel of seaside city being that we are the chairman's entourage he cut to the front of a long line what you should show. Was in 2000 let me in hey you let me in Come on I'm your boss's boss was a quite human outing that was. Whining about Santa. Let's put it this way we all assume this situation is an Indian province but now we aren't you know we have a See this is so see I'm gazing into an incredibly large aquarium scuba divers swim around whale sharks woman in mermaid suits gracefully wave to the crowd outside way up top a fleet of ships are taking children on a boat rides to. Plaques hang on the wall signifying Guinness World Records I'm viewing this aquatic seen through the world's largest window you will hunt the high on some. City to deal with a large scale migration of aquatic life you see creatures from America a train from the Philippines from every remote ocean into the these creatures all migrate up the highway to day go crazy came to my city my seaside city chance you don't know what the high point. Of the solutions this is the chairman asking dozens and dozens of times if I think his city is beautiful clean modern He told me repeatedly that his mission is to bring true happiness to the people. And for. A Russian. Fires up here who want. This isn't normal Chinese developers are supposed to put their heads down and build what the government says it's a direct way to make a lot of money but the chairman seems genuinely concerned with loftier goals he's challenging the entire paradigm of how private entrepreneurs are supposed to act in China how did he get here what drives him. The chairman was born in this area of China about 1500 kilometers away from the richer coastal provinces when market reforms freed up private enterprise in the early eighty's he didn't waste a 2nd his 1st venture was a popsicle factory soon he was building factories. For other people to rent out that's when he had his idea. So in the beginning I just came here to build a factory and I didn't think about building a city but then I realized if I could build factories for enterprises do workers will places to live like places to entertain themselves so I bought all the land and decided to make something bigger than I was We're now at the chairman's office it's also something of a museum celebrating seaside city the 1st thing you see when you walk into its atrium is a black Cadillac displayed behind velvet ropes to get to your so what's a chain so I hope this car is from when I drove into this area to buy it to very 1st parcel of land. I need to lend to bill the fact that I had come from Hong Kong and was driving this expensive car so I was already really successful it was rare to see cars like this back then but I had learned so I was very proud of this car you're not really good fortune you know were never I drove it with people support it and why because this car tells I do people how much you are worth is a symbol of your status. 70 is not just this way in China it is also this week in Denmark What if I think by President Clinton Denmark perhaps the president of Denmark would push the newly meet me at the airport away as there is because and demonstrating to him that I can afford a private plane and it proved to him that I have status it shows that I have the money to invest in Denmark and it will be easy to get the support of the local Danish government officials I mean it. Does though that defense and funny question is that it is they are the chairman's the kind of guy whose goal is to move the seat he pretty much only speaks in bold statements but still what he told me next it was bold can do in those a way tennis is those machines and. Wants has a lot of people look at cities as places run by government officials a city is a place where we control people I don't agree that she says city is also a city or what kind of city are we we are a city the system is the free market system the market and industry have naturally created this city here there are no government officials here running the show. No government currently is doing any planning You can't just build buildings and pave really white roads and call a city she says City is a humane city in the future China will have more cities like this one thank you Susan. What the chairman is saying is bold dangerous even modern China was a stablished 70 years ago in a peasant rebellion against a powerful class of landlords the foundational authority of the Chinese Communist party is controlling and managing land chairman Wong is one of the 1st people in modern China to seriously challenge this this is China's 1st city where a private individual has the planning. Was. Always to create one city which was a little kid why can't I create a city so I did. Start the bus stop the bus. On the side of the road. Look how pretty the chairman's bus pulls into his wastewater treatment plant. You can send us a look at the water. Lifeless. Across the bridge from the dirty water to the area with the treated water a section of it is diverted into a pool with hundreds of fish should you know fasten witnessed a miracle to me and if you clean him but I think it's very clean it's only your happiness to do. That makes me happy. Chairman Huang micro-manages everything in his town the utilities roads apartment buildings factories Citizen Service Center all run by him he even has a media department that runs a weekly show about the city. It goes without saying the chairman is the star of his new show this episode is about him receiving a prestigious award for creating China's 1st privatized city it recaps his victory speech quote the people of Seaside city succeed at whatever they choose to do we are united as one in our hand I honestly believe that you. That the chairman brought happiness to the people of Seaside city it's something of a Gospel here I think he says it because he genuinely wants to do it. But the people agreed that he made them happy I had to now so while I had my hands full with Chairman long my colleague Pung interviewed residents of seaside city on behalf of b.b.c. World Service I said you know when this is shooting and this is young he's in his eighty's he's lived through the Chinese revolution remembers when the communists came through took the land from the landlords and gave it back to poor peasants like himself throughout his life he spent decades still in the land under the supervision of the local Communist Party now he lives a few blocks away from a colony of Will sharks and the young and. Sings so great here living standards better now I know longer have to work under the sun in the fields all day long yeah it was so beautiful but you know you know and I have very young boy look at this guy across the street I miss making a living repairing bicycles by giving his land to seaside city in a no house I'm older I'm shocked I went out there when I have never met a chairman one but I saw him on t.v. He was talking about giving the shopping mall to his daughter and will be I don't know you know what oh those who I have never met him I receive his money you know every month 10 dollars per miles photo used for all the old timers it was 4 years ago when I say he has extraordinary ability. There's a lot of people here who think like this but seaside city has a catch to build such a meticulously designed place chairman Wang needed complete control over everything this creates problems for people like Ms Lee that's a pseudonym it'll become clear in a moment why I'm using one. When we balance our house here we assume that a way would be the property owners but that. After buying it we didn't actually get the property rights this created so many problems for us schooling for our children exes to government services so many products the salesperson saddler that we would get property rights when mislead by her home she thought she was buying exactly that home in China this means getting official property rights but after the fact she learned that her contract was different than what she expected she was locked into renting a home from Chairman Hall for 60 years this city of 100000 people the factories apartments commercial space it's basically all rented from Chairman Hall It's how he has such tight control of the urban planning he's the town landlord. Would apply that to the people who buy houses or so their kids can go to school but the kids can't go to school if we don't have property rights to a place in this area and I can sell off my lease to anyone else who wouldn't want to have planes land doesn't have property rights so many families are facing this problem don't believe anything that the chairman or Wang say is right now all of us believe they have in our apartment building one guy was sentenced to 29 months in jail for speaking out someone working at a shopping mall was also sentenced to 29 months in jail it's the truth. I followed up on this it seems that some angry residents had been arrested by the local government although some people say they knew what they were getting into There are many others here that are upset with the terms of their leases the official line from Chairman Wang is that he's currently working to help tenants like Miss Leigh gain access to public schools and services. This is Mr Pung another pseudonym he's one of the original peasants who live here he thinks the. Things would have been more fair if the government had taken his land rather than chairman Juan there's no way to voice your opinions here Cohen a call but no one picks up. What struck me about seaside city is that it did what many freedom loving people in the West have been suggesting China do for a long time government stepped out of the way but the free market run the show but the result it's a kingdom. Of course I've never spoken to the term have seen him walking around surrounded by his own tranche But how could a guy like me speak to an emperor it's in advance a young man you dealt with you know. Where in here I met chairman Wang's Burger King at the table next to me and the chairman was not too young and Hildreth with their family runs over to their table sits down with the kids in the sun and beckons his media team to film the conversation the parents and the children have no idea what's going on. My name is what's inside it I'm the founder here I'm a member of the Chinese on that national group of steam private businessmen the young boy nods politely back at the chairman have you been to Dubai Dubai has an aquarium like this but this much mileage in ours there is only 30 minutes where it was always is 40 meters only 8 meters tall I was is 9 meters do you know it has the richest people in the wool but now the Chinese people have surpassed them so why is this foreigner here recording us is because we have even suppressed Dubai we are the biggest red abbess we have our own ocean. How how this conversation felt important to me every single person we talked to here even people suffering obvious injustice they told us they're proud of seaside city such a modern city popping up in a hinterland province it actually does make people happy it's a symbol of the Chinese people rising up and restoring their dignity as a nation if you tell me this is the guy that complained earlier about things being unfair in seaside city we ask if he still thinks it was a good thing that Huang took his land the answer is yes he is the host and this guy was collecting trash off the street barely making a living room of their going to follow us helpfully and how hard it's going to help he's saying that Chairman Wang gets a thumbs up from the peasants that China needs more people like him. And. He's impressed with the pretty shopping centers and amusement parks that it's all proof that China is developing into a strong country so that to me this all begs the question of how captive sea creatures swimming around Gucci outlets became a symbol of Chinese national revival but even though I don't quite understand the nationalism I know that these people's feelings are real Chairman why most of all. Today my dream has come true the Chinese dream is coming through his dream of all the people the dream of our existence when we walk away from the kids chairman Hwang's excited let's go. House deficit and get into a decision so we get it all on camera we put it on the news where people will say look the boss said down and had an intimate conversation we kids were going to reach out you think Americans right I tell him that I think he's out. We're back on Chairman Wang's minibus wrapping up our tour of the city. What kind of peace. People the entire day he's been fixated on Denmark the place where I was living at that time he keeps coming back to it again and again until finally I understand why so much so your thought is so whole Let me tell you the biggest success of your visit here today it was in interviewing me this is the biggest thing you get is an opportunity that you need to go back to Denmark and should the government approve of the space sciences. Big cities can bring jobs only can do it all for you this is a new model of city that will spread to the whole Wolf. So we're not you see you can be done so let's build a city government would need to spend a penny this build it I mean she is not talking about the Gulf and go initiative Let's go to Denmark let's not make the development of Denmark let's make the prettiest city in all of Denmark this city will belong to Denmark I can't possibly get home. I'll just put it in these people help the government get more tax revenue . I'll be happiness to the Danish people starting with some of.

North America Correspondent David Willis joins me now so David what's Congress offering sadly David isn't with us but let's hopefully get to speak him speak to him later on in the program but 1st we'll go to Albania where a 6.4 magnitude earthquake has struck north of the capital to Rana. It was a real horror so I tried to get us from my home I went through the glass door and I cut myself by the night ever. Well fat ass Jango is with the Albanian Red Cross who've been helping with the relief effort actually already of course always keep a stock with basic a materialist that for such cases I mean for emergency happening like a hands like blankets like a Keats and the other meticulously parasols the. Clothes that you have so we always keep these dog available to respond quickly as soon as something happened in this case. Whoever quake happened to eat were immediately these lists knock on things off for about 1000 the beneficiaries the earthquake has killed 20 people and injured 600 up to 15 people may still be missing thousands of Albanians whose homes were destroyed taking shelter in tents erected by the army guided Lonny reports from the region its Albania strongest earthquake for decades. The earthquake hit while most people were sleeping just before 4 in the morning those who could made for the streets as soon as their homes stop shaking down to the hospitals have been overwhelmed they've treated hundreds of people many cases a minor but deaths and serious injuries have been increasing as the rescue continues. Others are still trapped a number of buildings collapsed in the quake mostly in the coastal city to address a nearby through man or rescuers have pulled dozens of people alive from the rubble but it's hazardous work one building collapsed as a team was waiting to enter. At least they'll have plenty of help earthquakes are a fact of life in this region neighboring countries have sent in their rescue teams and Italy Greece and Germany are among the countries sending specialist assistance that was guided alone a now to British politics where Labor leader Jeremy cool been has been singled out by Britain's most senior Jewish leader who questioned his fitness to be prime minister if he wins December's general election the chief rabbi says the poison of anti Semitism has taken roots in the Labor Party but speaking to the b.b.c. Jeremy Corbin said there could be no place for any kind of racism in his party our political correspondent is Norman Smith the intervention by the chief rabbi in the middle of an election could scarcely be more damaging reigniting doubts about Mr Corbin's handling of anti-Semitism but also his leadership an issue his opponents want to make central to this campaign today Mr Corbyn chose not to respond directly to the Chief Rabbi's criticism despite the deeply personal charges namely that the poison in the Labor Party had been sanctioned from the top that claims to have dealt with it were a mundane fiction and that Mr Corbin was complicit in prejudice the lead. A leader speaking at the launch of his party's race and faith manifesto defended himself by pointing to new rules and fast tracked expulsions and he highlighted as he has done on many occasions before his record as an anti racism campaigner and his service has them in any form is vile and wrong there is no place whatsoever for anti semitism in any shape or form or in any place whatsoever in modern Britain under a Labor government it will not be tolerated in any form what so ever I want to make . This to Corbin's words however failed once again to allay the disquiet of many in the Jewish community afterwards the British Board of Deputies said it was impossible to trust Mr Corben given his readiness to indulge anti semites and interviewed this evening by the B.B.C.'s Andrew Neil missed a call been repeatedly refused to apologize Wouldn't you like to take this opportunity tonight to apologize to the British Jewish community for what's happened and I'll say to is this. I am determined that our society be safe for people of all faiths I don't want anyone to be feeling insecure in our society so you know. Against the abuse they receive on the streets on the trains or in college if I know you know other form of life Mr Corbin's aids may well take the view that there's now probably little the Labor leader can say or do to win over his critics but today's row is much more than just a damaging distraction it threatens to fuel unease about Mr Corbin's leadership that was Norman Smith And let's go back to our top story because the u.s. Congress has invited President Trump to its 1st impeachment hearing next week and we're joined now by our North America Correspondent David Willis So David what's a Congress offering. Great but they are 2 tomorrow Services Committee will go on and report on. Things of the impeachment inquiry from whom to. The last few weeks proved to the House Judiciary Committee. Now unfortunately can't really hit David So we're going to go to our next thing on the agenda and Chris has some headlines for us well President Trump has been invited to send his lawyer to question witnesses at next week's public impeachment hearings in Congress the new leader of Bolivia Janina an yes has appointed the country's 1st ambassador to the United States in over a decade senior doctors in Zimbabwe have gone on strike in support of their junior colleagues further crippling the country's health services and a newly published assessment says that British forces in Eastern Europe like vital equipment and would be quickly overwhelmed in any conflict with Russia Thanks Chris let's go back to the us now and look at a new report about life expectancy and it's pretty bleak reading because death rates among young and middle aged people have been rising a for the past decade even though the us is one of the world's wealthiest nations the report's author is Professor Stephen Wolf from Virginia Commonwealth University . Americans are operating under a lot of misconceptions and one of them is that they are the wealthiest people in the world and part of our goal here is to try to raise public awareness that it's absolutely not the case most Americans are not aware that their chances of dying before age 65 are on the rise so what's driving this I heard more from our North America correspondent and that is how fake the key thing here is that there has been this rise in the death rates among working age adults so those between the ages of 25 to 34 they saw the largest jump in death rates from 2010 to 2017 in that group so a rise of 29 percent in the death rate for that group and they've attributed that to things like an increase in drug overdoses from the opioid epidemic that has really affected some parts of the Midwest and other rural areas also to increase suicides other illnesses even you know including obesity and people driving while distracted by their cell phone so there were dozens of factors but those were the ones that they really highlighted and she think people in the us a surprised by these findings I would say absolutely the fact that people can kind of see the opioid epidemic in the toll that's taken and see that suicide has become such a problem in society kind of at the same time it still really hits them that health care in the United States is something that really needs to be looked at more closely I think one of the interesting things about the study was that the co-author Steven Wolf said it's not just about having a good health care system it's about having good social connections a good safety net for Americans who fall on hard times so for example a lot of the declines that we saw were in areas where manufacturing had declined where again the opioid epidemic has really hit people who are suffering because they can't make a living wage and the United States doesn't have enough social. Grams to assist these people in fact the author made a point to say that in America it's really you're on your own to fend for yourself if you fall on hard times and he said it's this especially affected women who are the ones who are mostly responsible for child care and have even less support than men so it's really interesting to see in this report an emphasis on that kind of the social community aspect of the problem and not just the health care system and given that do you think it could play into the presidential election you know what's interesting is that the areas that are included in this report as having the largest rise and deaths among working age adults are those areas that are up for play in the presidential election so the industrial Midwest the Appalachian states and upper New England again where manufacturing has been hurt and I think this is already been playing into the presidential election in the sense that when we talk about inequality in this country many people feeling like they've been left behind These are a lot of feelings and sentiments that many thought helped Donald Trump rise into the presidency just this feeling of being disaffected by the current political system and wanting an outsider to come and shake things up now it's interesting because a lot of people do feel President Trump has helped them in those areas he has a strong base but he's also been largely criticized by those in the suburbs and other areas so I think this election will certainly be a referendum on how many of these people who are disaffected feel about this president and the promises he's made well as we've just heard the i.p.o. It crisis is having a huge effect on communities in the u.s. Hundreds of thousands of people have died in the past 2 decades and millions are addicted creating enormous strain on law enforcement health providers and social services Many blame pharmaceutical pharmaceutical companies accusing them of intentionally allowing opioid painkillers to flood areas in the latest legal challenge against the big firms federal process. Uses in New York have reportedly opened a criminal investigation into their role in the epidemic the Wall Street Journal says at least 6 companies are involved in the case on New York correspondent Vivian Yunus told me more federal prosecutors are investigating this to say whether the Controlled Substances Act has been violated Now this is a law which requires drug companies and pharmacies to carefully monitor how controlled substances consumed in the community particularly drugs that can cause addiction like opioid painkillers Now it's widely believed here in the u.s. That it was the drug money factor is drug to she beaches and pharmacies that were turning a blind eye to suspiciously large orders for opioid painkillers that really feel the opioid crisis and we're talking about a crisis that has killed 400000 Americans over the past 2 decades and what do the drug companies say about their role in the crisis well the drug companies have always denied that they're responsible for this crisis they have long maintained that they had he had through the rules that govern the pharmaceutical industry in terms of the regulations and laws that decide how they distribute and prescribe these drugs the other party that's often blamed is doctors themselves for over prescribing these drugs but certainly this case if it does go ahead and if prosecutors do find that there's enough to go forward with a criminal prosecution it would be the largest criminal prosecution brought against the drug companies in this opioid crisis we have of course a number of civil lawsuits brought against the drug companies from thousands of cities counties and towns across America all trying to recruit the billions of dollars they say they spent on managing the opioid crisis but I did speak to the attorney's office here in New York that was named in this story by The Wall Street Journal they weren't confess this investigation is under way but if you look at what happened on Wall Street today investors are clearly worried by this. Report stock the in a couple of the pharmaceutical companies named that tever pharmaceuticals and I'm Neal pharmaceuticals they were both down around 10 percent today while stocks and drug distributors and Mary saw Bergen and McKesson were both down between 3 and 5 percent so clearly this is something that is worrying investors and we were in the drug companies that have been named Vivian newness months of protests have gripped Hong Kong and many people around the world and you might think Hong Kong is a densely packed city of tall tower is a nothing more but there are more than 260 islands that are part of the territory with a more traditional pace of life the council representing the outlying islands as the known will be the only one beyond the control of pro-democracy councillors following the recent election that's mainly because nearly hearth of the seats are reserved for appointed heads of rural committees likely to be pro establishment one of the islands is Lama and the B.B.C.'s Ben James went to visit. We just got to the pier I'm standing on on the ferry from Central Hong Kong to find a rather different side of this place of course somebody who's going to help explain where we are Introduce yourself. And I've lived. For 11 years already What's it like living here oh well one of all I mean people of different views still you know they buy the agree with you but we still nod and still with friends this is the beauty of Lama is it less expensive to live here or more expensive less less thank God but I miss that catching up catching up there is one of the issues people have been talking about this important to see how the. Lack of proper planning so if you can see over the construction of the breeze over there right next to is treason playground just a minute ago this pair was completely empty with the fairies now. Drop people off there's a few people compasses that's the case used to catch the ferry back to the woods to the city center now you were part of the election and you're standing for one of the pro-democracy groups here you didn't quite win what with the issues that you were campaigning on the number one is to have transparency and information know that that's what we lack off for this is like all the big construction buildings and all that information the consultation of the black about 2 weeks in the spot whether people will really notice the indigenous They have their own values which I treasure and they don't want change so we cannot change that so we education I just noticed on the the sort of the Paris style looking houses on stilts I would I right on the waterfront it's very child care it fails Has there been any protests here if you had any confrontation is that we've seen in the middle of town already which is the unique thing both whether you support a government or nor most of them the frightened of what's happening outside is Ok In the end is when we come home you know with the wind of computation and that actually the people who support what we've been doing but because they know unproved democracy they say well so they kind of like to connect that that pro-democracy the riots you know people in these 2 to be educated in the sense. That was Ben James next Columbia. Knowledge race has are continuing that against issues such as corruption and austerity measures but they're mainly peaceful but an 18 year old who died of his injuries has become a symbol of the ongoing unrest Del increase his name has been tweeted globally more than 350000 times protest leaders have called for a general strike after talks with President. Yvonne Duke a failed Matthew Charles is a journalist in Bogota and began by telling is about the breakdown in negotiations those talks broke down before they even started really some union leaders chose not to attend and the ones that did left soon afterward saying the government wasn't listening that they were just presenting Power Point presentations and that this wasn't part of the conversation that President Dukie had promised so they left those talks and called for the strike to continue but in the last few hours we've heard from the government to have made several concessions including 3 days without the 18 which will apparently happen every year reductions in health insurance retired people and a plan to increase youth employment indigenous groups rep think that the many Indigenous communities of Colombia are a big part of this protest and that's for the simple reason that many of their community leaders since the 2016 peace deal was signed with the Fox has been killed because dissidents Sachs actions and other groups fighting to take over. The drug straight that was left behind by Fox So they're saying you know they need more protection because they're being systematically killed we've seen more than 160 of them killed since the peace deal was signed they're standing up for their communities now Chris has some other stories from a nice task so it'll begin deleting accounts that have been inactive for more than 6 months unless they log in before a mid December deadline it's the 1st time Twitter has removed inactive accounts on such a large scale a world renowned sushi restaurant has been dropped from the Michelin Guide and stripped of its 3 stars because it no longer accept public reservations to get a table.

I'm standing in the central square of a new city in West China usually this is where they would put a statue of Mao Zedong here they put a dinosaur. Welcome to seaside city it's been called China's 1st privatized city but what does that really need its mark on the whole city is my Join me David Bornstein for Emperor complaints coming up straight after the news.

Knees. German Huang's dream was to build a city on the sea to be China's most daring real estate tycoon to turn a blank slate of countryside into paradise an entirely new type of Chinese city here he is taking me on a tour of his creation were both speaking Chinese so myself and a translator are overdubbing the conversation who are meant to be any kissing it took only 4 years so construction to go from country said to city now days 1000 companies you 120000 people Don't I tell him that I just am Denmark that there aren't building his tall anywhere there. Is a. He said he is now somewhere else in Northern Europe. So all kids let me tell you about No 0 also of the rest of you see a high in this place is you but she does usually evolve over hundreds of years is a slow process to my right. But in China today there are people who can devote their lives to make it a city all on the own I want to make Don't most spectacular city in all of China do more spectacular city in the whole world. Knighthoods. You go. This is the story of Chairman long and his seaside city inspired by his travels to Disney World and Dubai the chairman planned every detail of this place. Did I do a big deal like it. Before it would have been impossible for a Chinese real estate tycoon like want to design an entire city by himself but not anymore this is China's 1st privatized city mewing to sit it down said but what does that even means. Those are all that smart and that's his of those a whole city is mine. I'm David Borenstein with b.b.c. World Service and this is Emperor complex. Chairman Hong build his city during the biggest building boom in human history in the 2 years when he started his Project 201-3214 China use more concrete than the USA did in the entire 20th century Thanks it's a city building Bonanza and it's had many successes but it also has glaring problems problems that Chairman one claims privatized cities could fix so before I go to seaside city I decided to see some of these problems for myself. This was going to be the biggest of football stadium in all aphasia it can hold up to 30000 people but it's all going to waste I'm standing in a band in football stadium the field in the middle is overgrown local farmers are drying their crops on the 2nd level where the concession stands should be this is loudly a man that was collecting trash I asked him about the empty street blocks around the state and t.v. Lascivious will empty Yes What a load. They took all in the presence of lamb from the village to build up. The global God and sit in my would be a mold a city obvious just 2 ways to land on. A little they are using some of it they are plenty tropical fruit saying it. Was that one from Taiwan Oh yeah. That's it. Local Chinese government's build new cities from scratch only after they build the whole thing are people supposed to move and the problem is that this doesn't always happen. Those towns aren't the most common result of Chinese urbanization but they do appear in my eyes its main problem the entire city building process is top down only government officials have any real say I make my way down to the temporary housing the place they put the original peasants who live here the just a common tear down your house with our land we have nothing to eat it's to cover men and they give us a little we don't know what they are beauty but the we know that their local government is getting reach Rumor has it they made out with billions of our m. B. But what can you do we don't really talk about our problems here no one dares to do it it's striking to me just how little power people here have to influence their cities how can you build a town with no input from the people who live and work in them you can say you're building a brand new city but it's not really going to happen until you have schools jobs real communities guaranteeing these things even the Chinese Communist Party can't always do that but if the party can't do it. Could someone else to. Eat. That's a Tariana source Rex screeching into my ear I'm in the central square of a new city farther to the northwest Normally this is where they would put a statue of Mao Zedong in this place they put a dinosaur an animatronic dinosaur. Welcome to seaside city an oasis in a desert a town where they say the free market brings happiness and development to the people I'm here to interview Chairman Juan the town's developer it would be the 1st time he ever spoke with a foreign reporter. Those a well that see that it's mine yes my shopping center I'm in the chairman's minibus He's a relatively short guy speaks Chinese with a heavy accent from the local dialect he's wearing Playboy brand clothing from head to toe I say that I came from Denmark to interview him that I recently moved there after living in China for many years I'm a old thought of. How big is Denmark. What so smart us only 5500000 is that into you here you are so you know that's I got. To ask. Both of. You takes a jar of chewing gum and pours about 30 pieces into my hand I put 2 in my mouth and pocket the rest your kind of goes a new up those Look at all these people if I didn't build this place they wouldn't be here Chairman Wang built his town around a central shopping mall it's the Town Square the center of everything we walked through the courtyard leading up to one way to go just so wise and so would you know this about 100000 people who come in here every day 100000 people look at all to be. Isn't it pretty good I do a good job. The chairman approaches a random pedestrian but some way out. How about the city. What do you think of the public sanitation in India. Now he's motioning towards the person's camera saying I can have money how I played it he can take pictures of my dance so. He leads me into the shopping mall a row of people in coffee stand by the door characters from Sponge Bob Square Pants and clouds writing unicycles rainbow colored train ride from one end of the massive mall to the other loose eagle in trickle that like this is a place where you come to experience new things we have a dinosaur theme park a skating rink every simulators helicopters afore the movie together he seems to have unlimited energy with a huge smile on his face he's running around his shopping center making sure I take photos of all the attractions and how much they're going to know how I look at the train over there is a great shot for your piece I really like unlike any other Chinese businessman I've ever met he isn't overly cautious he's saying what's on his mind he's being real. We hear a lot about the people who are transforming China into a superpower but when do we get a chance to really learn what makes them tick. For their goods we should look at all of his people can you believe it is mine that it is my shop he sent to check out the trains of the day this is the city I built just the one that has a. Deeper into the mall we arrive at the main event the crown jewel of seaside city being that we are the chairman's entourage he cut to the front of a long line what you shot. Was in 2000 let me in hey you let me in Come on I'm your boss's boss was a quite human outing that was. Going on sale and yeah. Let's put it this way we all assumed a situation is an Indian province but now we aren't you know we have a c This is always c m gazing into an incredibly large aquarium scuba divers swim around whale sharks woman in mermaid suits gracefully waved to the crowd outside way up top a fleet of ships are taking children on boat rides to plaques hang on the wall signifying Guinness World Records I'm viewing this aquatic scene through the world's largest window. High on somewhat awkward sheer in seaside city a large scale migration of aquatic life secrets as from America a train from the Philippines from every remote ocean into all these creatures all migrate away to day go. To My City My seaside city chase you know where the high point. Thank you. Suze this is the chairman asking dozens and dozens of times. I think his city is pitiful. Modern he told me repeatedly that his mission is to bring true happiness to the people. And for. A Russian for La Toyia is all sure well. This isn't normal Chinese developers are supposed to put their heads down and build but the government says it's a direct way to make a lot of money but the chairman seems genuinely concerned with loftier goals he's challenging the entire paradigm of how private entrepreneurs are supposed to act in China how did he get here what drives him. The chairman was born in this area of China about 1500 kilometers away from the richer coastal provinces when market reforms freed up private enterprise in the early eighty's he didn't waste a 2nd his 1st venture was a popsicle factory soon he was building factories for other people to rent out that's when he had his idea. So in the beginning I just came here to build a factory and I didn't think about building a series but then I realized if I could build factories for enterprises the workers will let places to live like places to entertain themselves so I bought all the land and decided to make something bigger than the us we're now at the chairman's office it's also something of a museum celebrating seaside city the 1st thing you see when you walk into its atrium is a black Cadillac displayed behind velvet ropes so I said you're so what's a change so I hope this car is from when I drove into this area to buy the very 1st parcel of land I need to lend to build my factories I had come from Hong Kong and was driving this expensive car so I was already really successful it was rare to see cars like this back then but I had learned so I was very proud of this car bureaucracy good fortune you know were never I drove it people supported me why because this car tells I do people how much you are worth is a symbol of your status. It's not just this way in China it's also this way in Denmark What if I tick by President Clinton Denmark perhaps the president of Denmark would personally meet me at the airport why is that is because and demonstrating to him that I can't afford a private plane it proves to him that I have status is shows that I have the money to invest in Denmark and it would be easy to get the support of the local Danish government officials I mean if I did and this or that they found some funny question this is as you say on the chairman's the kind of guy whose goal is to move the seat he pretty much only speaks in bold statements but still what he told me next it was bold can go in the way. This is those machines in town quite a lot has a lot of people look at cities as places run by government officials a city is a place where we control people I don't agree see says city is also a city or what kind of city are we we are a city the system is the free market system the market and industry have naturally created the city here when there are no government officials who are running the show there are no government companies doing any planning You can't just build buildings and pave really white roads and call a city she says City is a humane city in the future China will have more cities like this one thank you just. A lot on the Pennsylvania how. What the chairman is saying is bold dangerous even modern China was established 70 years ago in a peasant rebellion against a powerful class of landlords the foundational authority of the Chinese Communist party is controlling and managing land chairman Wong is one of the 1st people in modern China to seriously challenge this this is China's 1st city where a private individual has the planning right. Or deemed by the dream was always to create But one city which also known as Little kids I asked why can't I create a city so I did it. Stop the bus stop the bus and this show him this beautiful Ginko trees we put on the side of the road. Look how pretty the chairman's bus pulls into his wastewater treatment plant. You can see us look at the water on this suit do the smelly lifeless. Across the bridge from the dirty water to the area with the treated water a section of it is diverted into a pool with hundreds of court fish changing a fossil witnessed a miracle is he clean but I assure him that I think it's a very clean. Happiness to do. That makes me happy chairman Huang micro-manages everything in his town the utilities roads apartment buildings factories Citizen Service Center all run by him he even has a media department that runs a weekly show about the city. It goes without saying the chairman is the star of his new show this episode is about him receiving a prestigious award for creating China's 1st privatized city it recaps his victory speech quote the people of Seaside city succeed at whatever they choose to do we are united as one in our happiness only she did thank you. That the chairman brought happiness to the people of Seaside city it's something of a Gospel here I think he says it because he genuinely wants to do it but the people agreed that he made them happy I had to know so while I had my hands full with Chairman long my colleague Pung interviewed residents of seaside city on behalf of b.b.c. World Service. This is she here this is young he's in his eighty's he's lived through the time his revolution remembers when the communists came through took the land from the landlords and gave it back to poor peasants like himself. Throughout his life he spent decades tilling the land under the supervision of the local Communist Party now he lives a few blocks away from a colony of Will sharks and. Sings oh great here living standards are better now you know longer have to work under the sun in the fields all day long yeah it was so beautiful for you all you know and it's have are for you look at this guy across the street I miss making a living repairing bicycles by giving his land to see sights city you know house I'm older I'm shocked. When I have never met chairman Hahn but I saw him on t.v. He was talking about giving the shopping mall to his daughter and I was young but although I have never met him I receive his money every month $10.00 per month for used for all the old timers are in there with our you know when I say he has extraordinary ability. There's a lot of people here who think like this but seaside city has a catch to build such a meticulously designed place chairman Wang needed complete control over everything this creates problems for people like Ms Lee that's a pseudonym it'll become clear in a moment why I'm using one. Where we balance our house here we assume that a way would be the property owners but after buying it we didn't actually get the property rights that's created so many problems for us schooling for our children access to government services so many products this just person said that we would get property rights when mislead bought her home she thought she was buying exactly that home in China this means getting official property rights. But after the fact she learned that her contract was different than what she expected she was locked into renting a home from Chairman Hall for 60 years this city of 100000 people the factories apartments commercial space it's basically all rented from Chairman Hall It's how he has such tight control of the urban planning he's the town landlord. The modify the. People buy houses so their kids can go to school but the kids can't go to school if we don't have property rights to a place in this area and I can sell off my lease to anyone else who would want to have plays that doesn't have property rights so many families are facing this problem don't believe anything that the chairman or one say this none of us believe they have in our apartment building one guy was sentenced to 29 months in jail for speaking out someone working at a shopping mall was also sentenced to 29 months in jail it's the truth I followed up on this it seems that some angry residents had been arrested by the local government although some people say they knew what they were getting into There are many others here that are upset with the terms of their leases the official line from Chairman Wang is that he's currently working to help tenants like Miss Leigh gain access to public schools and services. This is Mr Pung another pseudonym he's one of the original peasants who live here he thinks that things would have been more fair if the government had taken his land rather than chairman why there's no way to voice your opinions your koan a call but no one of a big saw. What struck me about seaside city is that it did what many freedom loving people in the West have been suggesting China do for a long time government stepped out of the way but the free market run the show. But the result it's a kingdom. It's a good one you don't want to close cos I've never spoke to the tema I've seen him walking around surrounded by his entourage but how could a guy like me I will speak to him. It's an advance a young one you dealt with you know what. I can't yeah. We're here I'm at Chairman Wang's Burger King at the table next to me and the chairman was too young and children with their family do you runs over to their table sits down with the kid in the sun and beckons his media team to film the conversation the parents and the children have no idea what's going on bond. Well Sue My name is Swan Was it I'm the founder here I'm a member of the Chinese on that national group of esteem privates businessmen the young boy nods politely back at the chairman have you been to Dubai Dubai has an aquarium like this but this much mileage in Alice there is only 30 minutes White House is 40 metres d.s. Is only 8 metres tall I was his name it is you know the bar it has the richest people in the wool but now the Chinese people have suppressed them so why is this foreigner here recording us it's because we have even suppressed Dubai we had the biggest We had a bass we have our own ocean. How how this conversation felt important to me every single person we talk to here even people suffering obvious injustice they told us they're proud of seaside city such a modern city popping up in a hinterland province it actually does make people happy it's a symbol of the Chinese people rising up and restoring their dignity as a nation if you time you know this is the guy that complained earlier about things being unfair in seaside city we ask if he still thinks it was a good thing that Huang took his land the answer is yes he is the host this guy was collecting trash off the street barely making a living woman didn't do when you know you have 40 And how are you going to help he's saying that Chairman Wang gets a thumbs up from the peasants that China needs more people like him. He's impressed with the pretty shopping centers and amusement parks that it's all proof that China is developing into a strong country and that to me this all begs the question of how captive sea creatures swimming around Gucci outlets became a symbol of Chinese national revival but even though I don't quite understand the nationalism I know that these people's feelings are.

News. You're listening to the nice rain from the b.b.c. World Service with me Sean it's gonna get and we start in Washington where Congress has invited President Trump to its 1st impeachment hearing next week the probe is looking into whether Mr Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate his political rival Joe Biden allegations the president denies speaking at a rally in Florida Mr Trump once again called the inquiry a witch hunt the radical left Democrats are trying to rip our nation apart and they're pushing that impeachment which aren't and a lot of bad things happening to them because you see what's happening in the past everybody said that's really bullshit. North America Correspondent David Willis joins me now so David what's Congress offering sadly David isn't with us but let's hopefully get Speak him speak to him later on in the program but 1st we'll go to Albania where a 6.4 magnitude earthquake has struck north of the capital to Rana. It was a real horror so I tried to get us from my home I went through the glass door and I cut myself by the night ever. Well Fattal's Jango is with the Albanian Red Cross who've been helping with the relief effort actually already of course always keep a stock with basic a materialist that for such cases I mean for emergency happening like a hands like Plan kids like Keats and other materials food parasols. Calls that you have so always keep these dog available to respond quickly as soon as something happened in this case. Whoever quake happened to eat were immediately recently stuck on things off for about 1000 beneficiaries the earthquake has killed 20 people and injured 600 up to 15 people may still be missing thousands of Albanians whose homes were destroyed and taking shelter in tents erected by the army guided Lonny reports from the region its Albania strongest earthquake for decades you know the quake hit while most people were sleeping just before 4 in the morning those who could made for the streets as soon as their homes stopped shaking. Hospitals being overwhelmed they treated hundreds of people many cases a minor but deaths and serious injuries have been increasing as the rescue continues . Others are still trapped a number of buildings collapsed in the quake mostly in the coastal city to address a nearby for man or rescuers have pulled dozens of people alive from the rubble but it's hazardous work one building collapsed as a team was waiting to enter. At least they'll have plenty of help earthquakes are a fact of life in this region neighboring countries have sent in their rescue teams and Italy Greece and Germany are among the countries sending specialist assistance that was guided Aloni now to British politics where Labor leader Jeremy cool been has been singled out by Britain's most senior Jewish leader who questioned his fitness to be prime minister if he wins December's general election the chief rabbi says the poison of anti Semitism has taken roots in the Labor Party but speaking to the b.b.c. Jeremy Corbin said there could be no place for any kind of racism in his party are political correspondent is Norman Smith the intervention by the chief rabbi in the middle of an election could scarcely be more damaging reigniting doubts about Mr Corbin's handling of anti-Semitism but also his leadership an issue his opponents want to make central to this campaign today Mr Corbyn chose not to respond directly to the Chief Rabbi's criticism despite the deeply personal charges namely that the poison in the Labor Party had been sanctioned from the top that claims to have dealt with it were a mundane fiction and that Mr Corbin was complicit in prejudice the Labor leader speaking at the launch of his party's race and faith manifesto defended himself by pointing to new rules and fast tracked expulsions and he highlighted as he has done on many occasions before his record as an anti racism campaigner and his services in any form is vile and wrong. There is no place whatsoever for anti semitism in any shape or form or in any place whatsoever in modern Britain under a Labor government it will not be tolerated in any form what so ever I want to make . This to Corbin's words however failed once again to allay the disquiet of many in the Jewish community afterwards the British Board of Deputies said it was impossible to trust Mr Corben given his readiness to indulge anti semites and interviewed this evening by the B.B.C.'s Andrew Neil Mr Corbin repeatedly refused to apologize Wouldn't you like to take this opportunity tonight to apologize to the British Jewish community for what's happened but I'll say to is this I am determined that our society be safe for people of all faiths I don't want anyone to be feeling insecure in our society so you know. Against the abuse they receive on the streets on the trains or in college if I know you know other form of life Mr Corbin's aides may well take the view that there's now probably little the Labor leader can say or do to win over his critics but today's row is much more than just a damaging distraction it threatens to fuel unease about Mr Corbin's leadership that was Norman Smith And let's go back to our top story because the u.s. Congress has invited President Trump to its 1st impeachment hearing next week and we're joined now by our North America Correspondent David Willis So David what's a Congress offering. Great words but they are 2 tomorrow Services Committee will go on and report on. Things of the impeachment inquiry from whom to. The last few will prove. To the House Judiciary Committee. Now unfortunately we can't really hit David So we're going to go to our next thing on the agenda and Chris has some headlines for us well President Trump has been invited to send his lawyer to question witnesses at next week's public impeachment hearings in Congress the new leader of Bolivia Janina an yes has appointed the country's 1st ambassador to the United States in over a decade senior doctors in Zimbabwe have gone on strike in support of their junior colleagues further crippling the country's health services and a newly published assessment says that British forces in Eastern Europe like vital equipment and would be quickly overwhelmed in any conflict with Russia Thanks Chris let's go back to the us now and look at a new report about life expectancy and it's pretty bleak reading because death rates among young and middle aged people have been rising a for the past decade even though the us is one of the world's wealthiest nations the reports all Phase Professor Stephen Wolf from Virginia Commonwealth University . Americans are operating under a lot of misconceptions and one of them is that they are the healthiest people in the world and part of our goal here is to try to raise public awareness that that's absolutely not the case most Americans are not aware that their chances of dying before age 65 are on the rise so what's driving this I heard more from our North America Correspondent not just how fake the key thing here is that there has been this rise in the death rates among working age adults so those between the ages of 25 to 34 they saw the largest jump in death rates from 2010 to 2017 in that group so a rise of 29 percent in the death rate for that group and they've attributed that to things like an increase in drug overdoses from the opioid epidemic that has really affected some parts of the Midwest and other rural areas also to increase suicides other illnesses even you know including obesity and people driving while distracted by their cell phone so there were dozens of factors but those were the ones that they really highlighted and she think people in the us a surprised by these findings I would say absolutely the fact that people can kind of see the opioid epidemic in the toll that's taken and see that suicide has become such a problem in society kind of at the same time it's still really hits them that health care in the United States is something that really needs to be looked at more closely I think one of the interesting things about this study was that the co-author Steven Wolf said it's not just about having a good health care system it's about having good social connections a good safety net for Americans who fall on hard times so for example a lot of the declines that we saw were in areas where manufacturing had declined where again the opioid epidemic has really hit people who are suffering because they can't make a living wage and the United States doesn't have enough social. Graeme's to assist these people in fact the author made a point to say that in America it's really you're on your own to fend for yourself if you fall on hard times and he said it's this especially affected women who are the ones who are mostly responsible for child care and have even less support than men so it's really interesting to see in this report an emphasis on that kind of the social community aspect of the problem and not just the health care system and given that do you think it could play into the presidential election you know what's interesting is that the areas that are included in this report as having the largest rise and deaths among working age adults are those areas that are up for play in the presidential election so the industrial Midwest the Appalachian states and upper New England again where manufacturing has been hurt and I think this is already been playing into the presidential election in the sense that when we talk about inequality in this country many people feeling like they've been left behind These are a lot of feelings and sentiments that many thought helped Donald Trump rise into the presidency just this feeling of being disaffected by the current political system and wanting an outsider to come and shake things up now it's interesting because a lot of people do feel President Trump has helped them in those areas he has a strong base but he's also been largely criticized by those in the suburbs and other areas so I think this election will certainly be a referendum on how many of these people who are disaffected feel about this president and the promises he's made well as we've just heard the i.p.o. Is crisis is having a huge effect on communities in the u.s. Hundreds of thousands of people have died in the past 2 decades and millions are addicted creating enormous strain on law enforcement health providers and social services Many blame pharmaceutical pharmaceutical companies accusing them of intentionally allowing opioid painkillers to flood areas in the latest legal challenge against the big firms federal process. Uses in New York have reportedly opened a criminal investigation into their role in the epidemic the Wall Street Journal says at least 6 companies are involved in the case on New York correspondent Vivian Yunus told me more federal prosecutors are investigating this to say whether the Controlled Substances Act has been violated Now this is a law which requires drug companies and pharmacies to carefully monitor how controlled substances consumed in the community particularly drugs that can cause addiction like opioid painkillers Now it's widely believed here in the u.s. That it was the drug money factor is drug to she beaches and pharmacies that were turning a blind eye to suspiciously large orders for opioid painkillers that really feel the opioid crisis and we're talking about a crisis that has killed 400000 Americans over the past 2 decades and what do the drug companies say about their role in the crisis well the drug companies have always denied that they're responsible for this crisis they have long maintained that they had he had through the rules that govern the pharmaceutical industry in terms of the regulations and laws that decide how they distribution prescribe these drugs the other party that's often blamed is doctors themselves for over prescribing these drugs but certainly this case if it does go ahead and if prosecutors do find that there's enough to go forward with a criminal prosecution it would be the largest criminal prosecution brought against the drug companies in this opioid crisis we have of course a number of civil lawsuits brought against the drug companies from thousands of cities counties and towns across America all trying to recruit the billions of dollars they say they spent on managing the opioid crisis but I did speak to the attorney's office here in New York that was named in this story by The Wall Street Journal they weren't confess this investigation is under way but if you look at what happened on Wall Street today investors are clearly worried by this. Report stocks in a couple of the pharmaceutical companies named that tever pharmaceuticals and I'm Neal pharmaceuticals they were both down around 10 percent today while stocks and drug distributors and Mary saw Bergen and McKesson were both down between 3 and 5 percent so clearly this is something that is worrying investors and we were in the drug companies that have been named Vivian newness months of protests have gripped Hong Kong and many people around the world and you might think Hong Kong is a densely packed city of tall tower as a nothing more but there are more than 260 islands that are part of the territory with a more traditional pace of life the council representing the outlying islands as they're known will be the only one beyond the control of pro-democracy councillors following the recent election that's mainly because nearly half of the seats are reserved for appointed heads of rural committees likely to be pro establishment one of the islands is Lama and the B.B.C.'s Ben James went to visit. We just got to the pier I'm standing on on the ferry from Central Hong Kong to find a rather different side of this place of course somebody who's going to help explain where we are Introduce yourself. And I've lived. For 11 years already What's it like living here oh well one of all I mean people of different views still. Agree with you but we still nod and still make friends this is the beauty of Lama is it less expensive to live here or more expensive less less thank God but I miss that catching up catching up there is one of the issues people have been talking about this important to see how the government official this lack of proper planning so it can see over the construction of the breeze over there but right next to is treason playground just a minute ago this pair was completely empty with the fairies now. Drop people off as a few people come across with that suitcase used to catch that ferry back to those who would say the city center now you were part of the election and you're standing for one of the pro-democracy groups here you didn't quite win what were the issues that you were campaigning on the number one is to have transparency and information though that's what we lack off phrases like all the big concession like buildings and all that information the consultation they'll give people like about 2 weeks in the spot where the people don't really notice the indigenous They have their own values which I treasure and they don't want change so we cannot change that so we education I just noticed on the the side of the pair the old style looking houses on stilts with Iraq's On the Waterfront it's very child care it fails Have there been any protests here if you had any confrontations that we've seen in the middle of town already which is quite a unique thing both whether you support the government Illinois most of them the frightened of what's happening outside Is that Ok you know at least when we come home we know with say the wine of computation either and that actually it people support what we've been doing but because they know unproved democracy they say well so they kind of like connect that pulled him up perceived as the riots you know that people in these 2 to be educated in the sense. That was Ben James next Columbia was a. Large race has are continuing that against issues such as corruption and austerity measures but they're mainly peaceful but an 18 year old who died of his injuries has become a symbol of the ongoing unrest Del increase his name has been tweeted globally more than 350000 times protest leaders have called for a general strike after talks with President Yvonne Duke a failed Matthew Charles is a journalist in Bogota and began by telling is about the breakdown in negotiations those talks broke down before they even started really some union leaders chose not to attend and the ones that did left soon afterward saying the government wasn't listening that they were just presenting Power Point presentations and that this wasn't part of the conversation that President Dukie had promised so they left those talks on call to the strike to continue but in the last few hours we've heard from the government to have made several concessions including 3 days without the 8 which will apparently happen every year reductions in health insurance retired people and a plan to increase youth employment indigenous groups rep think that the many Indigenous communities of Colombia are a big part of this protest and that's for the simple reason that many of their community leaders since the 2016 peace deal was signed with the Fox has been killed because dissidents Sachs actions and other groups fighting to take over with the truck straight that was left behind by Fox So they're saying you know they need more protection because they're being systematically killed we've seen more than 160 of them killed since the peace deal was signed for standing up for their communities now Chris has some other stories from a nice task so it will begin deleting accounts that have been inactive for more than 6 months unless they log in before a mid December deadline.

I'm standing in the central square of a new city in West China usually this is where they would put a statue of miles a dong here they put a dinosaur. Welcome to seaside city it's been called China's 1st privatized city but what does that really need it's mine the whole city is mine joining David Bornstein for Emperor complaints coming up straight after the news. B.b.c. News with Chris Spero the u.s. House Judiciary Committee has invited President Trump's legal team to take part in its impeachment hearings next week which will focus on the constitutional reasons for removing Mr Trump from office Mr Trump has complained that his legal team was unable to take part in last week's hearings by the House Intelligence Committee Bolivia has appointed an ambassador to the United States for the 1st time in 11 years the announcement comes 2 weeks after the resignation of President ever moralities he says he was the victim of a right wing coup the interim leader Giannini and yes has already broken diplomatic ties with Cuba and Venezuela 2 of the former leaders closest allies in Colombia protest leaders have called on the government to disband the riot police unit after the death of an 18 year old student Dylan Cruz was shot in the head during an anti austerity demonstration the Mexican government says it's seeking clarification after President Trump said that he would designate Mexico's drug cartels as terrorist organizations under u.s.

Knees. Chairman Hong's dream was to build a city on the sea to be China's most daring real estate tycoon to turn a blank slate of countryside into paradise an entirely new type of Chinese city here he is taking me on a tour of his creation were both speaking Chinese so myself and a translator are overdubbing the conversation who are meant to be in the kissing it took only 4 years so construction to go from country said to city now days 1000 companies year 120000 people Don't I tell him that I just am Denmark that there aren't building his tall anywhere there. Is a payment high he said in unison is now somewhere else in Northern Europe. So all kid let me tell you about No 0 also of the rest of you see a high in displaces you but she does usually evolve over hundreds of years is a slow process to my right. But in China today there are people who can devote their lives to make it a city all on the old I want to make Don't most spectacular city in all of China the most spectacular city in the whole world. Knighthoods is. Evil. This is the story of Chairman long and his seaside city inspired by his travels to Disney World and Dubai the chairman planned every detail of this place. Did I do a good deal like you. Before it would have been impossible for a Chinese real estate tycoon like want to design an entire city by himself but not anymore this is China's 1st privatized city mewing to sit it down said but what does that even means. Those are all that smart and that's his of those a whole city is mine. I'm David Borenstein with b.b.c. World Service and this is Emperor complex. Chairman long build his city during the biggest building boom in human history in the 2 years when he started his Project 201-3214 China use more concrete than the USA did in the entire 20th century thanks to city building Bonanza and it's had many successes but it also has glaring problems problems that Chairman one claims privatized cities could fix so before I go to seaside city I decided to see some of these problems for myself. This was going to be the biggest of football stadium in all aphasia it can hold up to 30000 people but it's all going to waste I'm standing in a band in football stadium the field in the middle is overgrown local farmers are drying their crops on the 2nd level where the concession stands should be this is loudly a man that was collecting trash I ask him about the empty street blocks around the state and t.v. And. Yes a lot of. The talk in the present slams from the village to build up. Google. Be a molder city obvious just 2 ways to land on. A little they are using some up and they are plenty. Of us that one from Taiwan Oh yeah. That's. Local Chinese government's build new cities from scratch only after they build the whole thing are people supposed to move then the problem is that this doesn't always happen. Ghost towns aren't the most common result of Chinese urbanization but they do appear in my eyes its main problem the entire city building process is top down only government officials have any real say I make my way down to the temporary housing the place they put the original peasants who live here they just a common tear down your house with our land we have nothing to eat it's to cover men and they give us a little one We don't know what their beauty but the we know that their local government is getting rich Rumor has it they made out with billions of our m. B. But what can you do we don't really talk about our problems here no one dares to do it it's striking to me just how little power people here have to influence their cities how can you build a town with no input from the people who live and work in them you can say you're building a brand new city but it's not really going to happen until you have schools jobs real communities guaranteeing these things even the Chinese Communist Party can't always do that but if the party can't do it. Could someone else to. Eat. That's a Tariana source Rex screeching into my ear I'm in the central square of a new city farther to the north west Normally this is where they would put a statue of Mao Zedong in this place they put a dinosaur an animatronic dinosaur. Welcome to seaside city an oasis in a desert a town where they say the free market brings happiness and development to the people I'm here to interview Chairman Juan the town's developer it would be the 1st time he ever spoke with a foreign reporter. Those a well that see that it's mine yes my shopping center I'm in the chairman's minibus He's a relatively short guy speaks Chinese with a heavy accent from the local dialect he's wearing Playboy brand clothing from head to toe I say that I came from Denmark to interview him that I recently moved there after living in China for many years I'm a old thought of. How big is Denmark. What so smart us only 5500000 is that into you here you are so you know that's a go. He takes a jar of chewing gum and pours about 30 pieces into my hand I put 2 in my mouth and pocket the rest you're going to go as a new Are those Look at all these people if I didn't build this place they wouldn't be here. Chairman Wang built his town around a central shopping mall it's the Town Square the center of everything we walked through the courtyard leading up to one way to go just so wise and so would you know this about 100000 people who come in here every day 100000 people. Look at all the people isn't it pretty good I do a good job you like it the chairman approaches a random pedestrian but some way out. How about the city get. What do you think of the public sanitation in India. Now he's motioning towards the person's camera saying I can have money how I played it he can take pictures of my dance so. He leads me into the shopping mall a row of people in coffee stand by the door characters from Sponge Bob Square Pants and clouds riding unicycles rainbow colored train ride from one end of the massive mall to the other Lou Siegel and trickle down effect this is a place where you come to experience new things we have a dinosaur theme park a skating rink and every assimilate is helicopters before the movie. He seems to have unlimited energy with a huge smile on his face he's running around his shopping center making sure I take photos of all the attractions and how much they're going to know how I look at the train over there is a great shot for your piece I really like unlike any other Chinese businessman I've ever met he isn't overly cautious he's saying what's on his mind he's being real. We hear a lot about the people who are transforming China into a superpower but when do we get a chance to really learn what makes them tick. For their goods we should look at all of his people can you believe it is mine that it is my shop he sent to check out the trains of the day this is the city I built the one that has a. Deeper into the mall we arrive at the main event the crown jewel of seaside city being that we are the chairman's entourage he cut to the front of a long line what you shot. Was in 2000 let me in hey you let me in Come on I'm your boss's boss was a quite human outing that was. Going on sound yeah. Let's put it this way we all assumed a situation is an Indian province but now we aren't you know we have a See this is so see I'm gazing into an incredibly large aquarium scuba divers swim around whale sharks woman in mermaid suits gracefully wave to the crowd outside way up top a fleet of ships are taking $200.00 on boat rides to plaques hang on the wall signifying Guinness World Records I'm viewing this aquatic scene through the world's largest window. High on somewhat awkward Shia in seaside city a large scale migration of aquatic life sea creatures from America a train from the Philippines from every remote ocean into these creatures all migrating away to day go. To My City My seaside city chase you go where the high point. Thank you. So Suze this is the chairman asking dozens and dozens of times. I think his city is pitiful. Modern he told me repeatedly that his mission is to bring true happiness to the people. Of Israel are you. Crazy Russian for La Toyia is all sure. This isn't normal Chinese developers are supposed to put their heads down and build but the government says it's a direct way to make a lot of money but the chairman seems genuinely concerned with loftier goals he's challenging the entire paradigm of how private entrepreneurs are supposed to act in China how did he get here what drives him. The chairman was born in this area of China about 1500 kilometers away from the richer coastal provinces when market reforms freed up private enterprise in the early eighty's he didn't waste a 2nd his 1st venture was a popsicle factory soon he was building factories for other people to rent out that's when he had his idea. So in the beginning I just came here to build a factory and I didn't think about building a series but then I realized if I could build factories for enterprises the workers will let places to live like places to entertain themselves so I bought all the land and decided to make something bigger than the us we're now at the chairman's office it's also something of a museum celebrating seaside city the 1st thing you see when you walk into its atrium is a black Cadillac displayed behind velvet ropes to go to your so what's a change so I hope this car is from when I drove into this area to buy devalued 1st parcel of land I need to lend to build my factories that I had come from Hong Kong and was driving this expensive car I was already really successful it was rare to see cars like this back then but I had learned so I was very proud of this car bureaucracy good fortune were never I drove it people supported me why because this car tells I do people how much you are worth is a symbol of your status. It's not just this way in China it's also this way in Denmark What if I think by President Clinton Denmark perhaps the president of Denmark would push nearly missed me at the airport why is that is because and demonstrating to him that I can afford a private plane it proves to him that I have status is shows that I have the money to invest in Denmark and it would be easy to get the support of the local Danish government officials I mean if I did and this is that deep on some funny question this is as you say on the chairman's the kind of guy whose goal is to move the seat he pretty much only speaks in bold statements but still what he told me next it was bold can go in the way. This is those machines and on what I want is a lot of people look at cities as places run by government officials a city is a place where we control people I don't agree see says city is also a city of what kind of city are we we are a city the system is the free market system the market and industry have naturally created this city here there are no government officials who are running the show so there are no government companies doing any planning You can't just build buildings and pave really white roads and call a city she says City is a humane city in the future China will have more cities like this one thank you just popped. Up on the Pennsylvania how. What the chairman is saying is bold dangerous even modern China was a stablish 70 years ago in a peasant rebellion against a powerful class of landlords the foundational authority of the Chinese Communist party is controlling and managing land chairman one is one of the 1st people in modern China to seriously challenge this this is China's 1st city where a private individual has the planning right. Or deemed by the Free must always to create But one city which also known as Little kids I asked why can't I create a city so I did it. Stop the bus stop the bus and this show him this beautiful Ginko trees we put on the side of the road. Look how pretty the chairman's bus pulls into his wastewater treatment plant. You can see us look at the water on this new duty smelly lifeless. Across the bridge from the dirty water to the area with the treated water a section of it is diverted into a pool with hundreds of court fish changing a fossil witnessed a miracle is a clean I assure him that I think it's very clean Zoe happiness to do. That makes me happy chairman Huang micro-manages everything in his town the utilities roads apartment buildings factories Citizen Service Center all run by him he even has a media department that runs a weekly show about the city. It goes without saying the chairman is the star of his new show this episode is about him receiving a prestigious award for creating China's 1st privatized city it recaps his victory speech quote the people of Seaside city succeed at whatever they choose to do we are united as one in our happiness only she did thank you. That the chairman brought happiness to the people of Seaside city it's something of a Gospel here I think he says it because he genuinely wants to do it but the people agreed that he made them happy I had to know so while I had my hands full with Chairman long my colleague Pung interviewed residents of seaside city on behalf of b.b.c. World Service. This is sure this is young he's in his eighty's he's lived through the time his revolution remembers when the communists came through took the land from the landlords and gave it back to poor peasants like himself throughout his life he spent decades telling the land under the supervision of the local Communist Party now he lives a few blocks away from a colony of Will sharks. Sings oh great here living standards. Have to work under the sun in the fields all day long. It was hell before but now it's have are ya boy look at this guy across the street I miss making a living repairing bicycles by giving his land to see site city he now has a motor a job. Where I have never met Chairman Hall but I saw him on t.v. He was talking about giving the shopping more to his daughter and will be along but although I have never met him I receive his money every month. $10.00 per month. For all the old timers you know with our years ago when I say he has extraordinary ability. There's a lot of people here who think like this but seaside city has a catch to build such a meticulously design place chairman Wang needed complete control over everything this creates problems for people like Ms Lee that's a pseudonym it will become clear in a moment why I'm using one. Who would bow our house here we assume that the we would be the property owners but after buying it we didn't actually get the property rights this created so many problems for us schooling for our children axes to government services so many products the sales person sad that we would get property rights when mislead bought her home she thought she was buying exactly that a home in China this means getting official property rights but after the fact she learned that her contract was different than what she expected she was locked into renting a home from Chairman Hall for 60 years this city of 100000 people the factories apartments commercial space it's basically all rented from Chairman Hall It's how he has such tight control of the urban planning he's the town landlord. The modify the. People buy houses Solaire kids can go to school but the kids can't go to school if we don't have property rights to a place in this area and I can sell off my lease to anyone else who would want to have planes land doesn't have property rights so many families are facing this problem don't believe anything that a chairman or one says none of us believe they have in our apartment. One guy was sentenced to 29 months in jail for speaking out someone working at a shopping mall was also sentenced to 29 months in jail it's the truth. I followed up on this it seems that some angry residents had been arrested by the local government although some people say they knew what they were getting into There are many others here that are upset with the terms of their leases the official line from Chairman Wang is that he's currently working to help tenants like Ms Lee gain access to public schools and services. This is Mr Pung another pseudonym he's one of the original peasants who live here he thinks that things would have been more fair if the government had taken his land rather than chairman why there's no way to voice your opinions your colon a call but no one of a big saw. The ball. What struck me about seaside city is that it did what many freedom loving people in the West have been suggesting China do for a long time government stepped out of the way but the free market run the show but the result it's a kingdom. Is a good one to go with of course I've never spoke to the tema I've seen him walking around surrounded by his entourage but how could a guy like me I will speak to him. It's an advance a young one you dealt with you know from. Where here I'm at Chairman Wang's Burger King at the table next to me and the chairman was too young and children with their family runs over to their table sits down with the kids in the sun and beckons his media team to film the conversation the parents and the children have no idea what's going on bond. Well Sue My name is one listens I'm the founder here I'm a member of the Chinese on that national group of esteem privates businessmen the young boy nods politely back at the chairman have you been to Dubai Dubai has an aquarium like this but this much Mollett in Alice there is only 30 minutes White House is 40 meters d.s. Is only 8 meters tall I was his name it is you know the bar it has the richest people in the wool but now the Chinese people have surpassed them so why is destroying the here recording us is because we have even suppressed Dubai we had the biggest We had a bass we have our own ocean. How how this conversation felt important to me every single person we talked to here even people suffering obvious injustice they told us they're proud of seaside city such a modern city popping up in a hinterland province it actually does make people happy it's a symbol of the Chinese people rising up and restoring their dignity as a nation if you time you know this is the guy that complained earlier about things being unfair in seaside city we ask if he still thinks it was a good thing that Huang took his land the answer is yes he is the host this guy was collecting trash off the street barely making a living woman didn't do when you know you have 40 And how are you going to help he's saying that Chairman Wang gets a thumbs up from the peasants that China needs more people like him. And. He's impressed with the pretty shopping centers and amusement parks that it's all proof that China is developing into a strong country so that to me this all begs the question of how captive sea creatures swimming around Gucci outlets became a symbol of Chinese national revival but even though I don't quite understand the nationalism I know that these people's feelings are. We'll chairman Juan's most of all. One amongst the ship today my dream has come true the Chinese dream is coming through is the dream of all the people the dream of our hour and systems when we walk away from the kids chairman Hwang's excited let's go this year how's that for some great information you've got it all on camera we'll put it on the news where people will say look the boss said down and had an intimate conversation the kids are in the region you think Americans right I tell him that I think he's out. We're back on Chairman Wang's minibus wrapping up our tour of the city. And Mark what kind of people people the entire day he's been fixated on Denmark the place where I was living at that time he keeps coming back to it again and again until finally I understand why you know so much so you thought it's so whole Actually let me tell you the biggest success of your visit here today it was in interviewing me this is the biggest thing you get is an opportunity. To go back to Denmark and should the government approve of the space see the big cities can bring jobs only can do it all for you this is a new model a city that will spread to the whole Wolf. So you know do you see it can be done let's build a city government would need to spend a penny of this build it I mean she is now talking about the Gulf and go initiative Let's go to Denmark let's make the development of Denmark let's make the prettiest city in all of Denmark this city will belong to Denmark I can't possibly be the home. I'll just for the Danish people help the government get more tax revenue right I'll bring happiness to the Danish people what's stopping. On the b.b.c.

North America Correspondent David Willis joins me now so David what's Congress offering Oh sadly David isn't with us but let's hopefully get to speak him speak to him later on in the program but 1st we'll go to Albania where a $6.00 magnitude earthquake has struck north of the capital to run a. Well there was a real horror so I tried to get us from my home I went for the glass door and I cut myself. Well fat ass Django is with the Albanian Red Cross who've been helping with the relief effort actually already across always people talk with basic a materialist that for such cases I mean for emergency happened like a hands like blankets like pizza and the other materials food parasols the. Calls that we have so we always keep these dog available to respond quickly a stall or something happened in this case. Whoever quake happened and to eat were immediately recently spoken things off for about 1000. Beneficiaries the earthquake has killed 20 people and injured 600 up to 15 people may still be missing thousands of Albanians whose homes were destroyed and taking shelter in tents erected by the army guy to Lonny reports from the region it's Albania strongest earthquake for decades you know the quake hit while most people were sleeping just before 4 in the morning those who could made for the streets as soon as their homes stopped shaking. Hospitals being overwhelmed they treated hundreds of people many cases a minor but deaths and serious injuries have been increasing as the rescue continues . Others are still trapped a number of buildings collapsed in the quake mostly in the coastal city to address a nearby for man or rescuers have pulled dozens of people alive from the rubble but it's hazardous work one building collapsed as a team was waiting to enter. At least they'll have plenty of help earthquakes are a fact of life in this region neighboring countries have sent in their rescue teams and Italy Greece and Germany are among the countries sending specialist assistance that was guided Aloni now to British politics where Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn has been singled out by Britain's most senior Jewish leader who questioned his fitness to be prime minister if he wins December's general election the chief rabbi says the poison of anti Semitism has taken roots in the Labor Party but speaking to the b.b.c. Jeremy Corbyn said there could be no place for any kind of racism in his party are political correspondent is Norman Smith the intervention by the chief rabbi in the middle of an election could scarcely be more damaging reigniting doubts about Mr Corbin's handling of anti-Semitism but also his leadership an issue his opponents want to make central to this campaign today Mr Corbyn chose not to respond directly to the Chief Rabbi's criticism despite the deeply personal charges namely that the poison in the Labor Party had been sanctioned from the top that claims to have dealt with it were a mundane fiction and that Mr Corbin was complicit in prejudice the Labor leader speaking at the launch of his party's race and faith manifesto defended himself by pointing to new rules and fast tracked expulsions and he highlighted as he has done on many occasions before his record as an anti racism campaigner m g 7 says I'm in any form is vile and wrong there is no place whatsoever for and to some of his men in any shape or form or in any place whatsoever in modern Britain and under a Labor government it will not be tolerated in any form what so ever I want to make . This. The Corbin's words however failed once again to allay the disquiet of many in the Jewish community afterwards the British Board of Deputies said it was impossible to trust Mr Corben given his readiness to indulge anti semites and interviewed this evening by the B.B.C.'s Andrew Neil Mr Corbin repeatedly refused to apologize Wouldn't you like to take this opportunity tonight to apologize to the British Jewish community for what's happened on our Satan is this I am determined that our society be safe for people of all faiths I don't want anyone to be feeling insecure in our society so you know how it gets the abuse they receive on the streets on the trains or in college even though you know other form of life Mr Corbin's aides may well take the view that there's now probably little the Labor leader can say or do to win over his critics but today's row is much more than just a damaging distraction it threatens to fuel unease about Mr Corbin's leadership that was Norman Smith And let's go back to our top story because the u.s. Congress has invited President Trump to its 1st impeachment hearing next week and we're joined now by our North America Correspondent David Willis So David what's a Congress offering. Great words to tomorrow the Vigilance Committee will pardon a report. I think of the impeachment inquiry from. To. The last few weeks proved to the House Judiciary Committee. Now unfortunately we can't really hear David So we're going to go to our next thing on the agenda and Chris has some headlines for us well President Trump has been invited to send his lawyer to question witnesses at next week's public impeachment hearings in Congress the new leader of Bolivia Giannini and yes has appointed the country's 1st ambassador to the United States you know over a decade senior doctors in Zimbabwe have gone on strike in support of their junior colleagues further crippling the country's health services and a newly published assessment says that British forces in Eastern Europe lack vital equipment and would be quickly overwhelmed in any conflict with Russia Thanks Chris let's go back to the us now and look at a new report about life expectancy and it's pretty bleak reading because death rates among young and middle aged people have been rising over the past decade even though the us is one of the world's wealthiest nations the report's author is Professor Stephen Wolf from Virginia Commonwealth University. Americans are operating under a lot of misconceptions and one of them is that they are the healthiest people in the world and part of our goal here is to try to raise public awareness that that's absolutely not the case most Americans are not aware that their chances of dying before age 65 are on the rise so what's driving this I heard more from our North America correspondent not a tough week the key thing here is that there has been this rise in the death rates among working age adults so those between the ages of 25 to 34 they saw the largest jump in death rates from 2010 to 2017 in that group so a rise of 29 percent in the death rate for that group and they've attributed that to things like an increase in drug overdoses from the opioid epidemic that has really affected some parts of the Midwest and other rural areas also to increase suicides other illnesses even you know including obesity and people driving while distracted by their cell phone so there were dozens of factors but those were the ones that they really highlighted and she think people in the us a surprised by these findings I would say absolutely the fact that people can kind of see the opioid epidemic in the toll that's taken and see that suicide has become such a problem in society kind of at the same time it's still really hits them that health care in the United States is something that really needs to be looked at more closely I think one of the interesting things about the study was that the co-author Steven Wolf said it's not just about having a good health care system it's about having good social connections a good safety net for Americans who fall on hard times so for example a lot of the declines that we saw were in areas where manufacturing had declined where again the opioid epidemic has really hit people who are suffering because they can't make a living wage and the United States doesn't have enough social. Graeme's to assist these people in fact the author made a point to say that in America it's really you're on your own to fend for yourself if you fall on hard times and he said it's this especially affected women who are the ones who are mostly responsible for child care and have even less support than men so it's really interesting to see in this report an emphasis on that kind of the social community aspect of the problem and not just the health care system and given that do you think it could play into the presidential election you know what's interesting is that the areas that are included in this report as having the largest rise and deaths among working age adults are those areas that are up for play in the presidential election so the industrial Midwest the Appalachian states and upper New England again where manufacturing has been hurt and I think this is already been playing into the presidential election in the sense that when we talk about inequality in this country many people feeling like they've been left behind These are a lot of feelings and sentiments that many thought helped Donald Trump rise into the presidency just this feeling of being disaffected by the current political system and wanting an outsider to come and shake things up now it's interesting because a lot of people do feel President Trump has helped them in those areas he has a strong base but he's also been largely criticized by those in the suburbs and other areas so I think this election will certainly be a referendum on how many of these people who are disaffected feel about this president and the promises he's made well as we've just had the i.p.o. Crisis is having a huge effect on communities in the u.s. Hundreds of thousands of people have died in the past 2 decades and millions are addicted creating enormous strain on law enforcement health providers and social services Many blame pharmaceutical pharmaceutical companies accusing them of intentionally allowing opioid painkillers to flood areas in the latest legal challenge against the big firms federal process. Uses in New York have reportedly opened a criminal investigation into their role in the epidemic the Wall Street Journal says at least 6 companies are involved in the case our New York correspondent Vivian Yunus told me more federal prosecutors are investigating this to say whether the Controlled Substances Act has been violated Now this is a law which requires drug companies and pharmacies to carefully monitor how controlled substances consumed in the community particularly drugs that can cause addiction like opioid painkillers Now it's widely believed here in the u.s. That it was the drug money factor is drug to she beaches and pharmacies that were turning a blind eye to suspiciously large orders for opioid painkillers that really feel the European crisis and we're talking about a crisis that has killed 400000 Americans over the past 2 decades and what do the drug companies say about the role in the crisis well the drug companies have always denied that they're responsible for this crisis they have long maintained that they had he had through the rules that govern the pharmaceutical industry in terms of the regulations and laws that decide how they distribution to prescribe these drugs the other party that's often blamed is doctors themselves for over prescribing these drugs but certainly this case if it does go ahead and if prosecutors do find that there's enough to go forward with a criminal prosecution it would be the largest criminal prosecution brought against the drug companies in this opioid crisis we have of course seen a number of civil lawsuits brought against the drug companies from thousands of cities counties and towns across America all trying to recruit the billions of dollars they say they spent on managing the opioid crisis but I did speak to the attorney's office here in New York that was named in this story by The Wall Street Journal they weren't confess this investigation is under way but if you look at what happened on Wall Street today investors are clearly worried by this. Report stocks in a couple of the pharmaceutical companies named that tever pharmaceuticals and I'm Neal pharmaceuticals they were both down around 10 percent today while stocks and drug distributors and Mary saw Bergen and McKesson were both down between 3 and 5 percent so clearly this is something that is worrying investors and we were in the drug companies that have been named Vivian newness months of protests have gripped Hong Kong and many people around the world and you might think Hong Kong is a densely packed city of tall tower as a nothing more but there are more than 260 islands that are part of the territory with a more traditional pace of life the council representing the outlying islands as they're known will be the only one beyond the control of pro-democracy councillors following the recent election that's mainly because nearly Harf of the seats are reserved for appointed heads of rural committees likely to be pro establishment one of the islands is Lama and the B.B.C.'s Ben James went to visit. We just got to the pier I'm standing on on the ferry from Central Hong Kong to find a rather different side of this place of course somebody who's going to help explain where we are Introduce yourself. And I've lived here on Lama for 11 years already What's it like living here oh well one of all I mean people of different views still. Agree with you but we still nod and still make friends this is the beauty of Lama is it less expensive to live here or more expensive less less thank God but I miss that catching up catching up there is one of the issues people have been talking about this important to see how the government official this lack of proper planning so it can see over the construction of the breeze over there but right next to is trees in playgrounds just a minute ago this pair was completely empty with the fairies now. Drop people off and there's a few people compasses that's the case used to catch that ferry back towards the city center now you were part of the election and you're standing for one of the pro-democracy groups here you didn't quite win what were the issues that you were campaigning on the number one is to have transparency and information know that that's what we lack off for this is like all the big concession buildings and all that information the consultation they give the block about 2 weeks in the in the spot where the people the we notice the indigenous They have their own values which I treasure and they don't want change so we cannot change that so we education I just noticed on the resort of the pair the old style looking houses on stilts I would I right on the waterfront it's very child care it fails had there been any protests here if you had any confrontations that we've seen in the middle of town already which is quite a unique thing both whether you support the government or nor most of them the frightened of what's happening outside is Ok you know and when we come home you know with the wind of computation and that actually people who support what we've been doing but because they know unproved democracy they say well so they kind of like connect that pro-democracy does the riots you know people in these 2 to be educated in the sense. That was Ben James next Columbia.

Knees. German Hwang's dream was to build a city on the sea to be China's most daring real estate tycoon to turn a blank slate of countryside into paradise an entirely new type of Chinese city here he is taking me on a tour of his creation were both speaking Chinese so myself and a translator are overdubbing the conversation who are meant to be in the kissing it took only 4 years so construction to go from country set to city now days 1000 companies year 120000 people Don't I tell him that I just am Denmark that there aren't building just tall anywhere there. Is a payment high he said somewhere else in Northern Europe. So all kid let me tell you about No 0 also of the rest of us in this place is you but she does usually evolve over hundreds of years is a still process to my right. But in China today there are people who can devote their lives to making a city all on the own I want to make Don't most spectacular city in all of China the most spectacular city in the whole world some nights it's seriously evil. This is the story of Chairman long and his seaside city inspired by his travels to Disney World and Dubai the chairman planned every detail of this place. Did I do a big deal like it. Before it would have been impossible for a Chinese real estate tycoon like want to design an entire city by himself but not anymore this is China's 1st privatized city mewing to sit down said but what does that even means. Those all that the smart thing that's into those a whole city is mine. I'm David Borenstein with b.b.c. World Service and this is Emperor complex. German Hong built his city during the biggest building boom in human history in the 2 years when he started his Project 201-3214 China use more concrete than the USA did in the entire 20th century. It's a city building Bonanza and it's had many successes but it also has glaring problems problems that Chairman one claims privatized cities could fix so before I go to seaside city I decided to see some of these problems for myself. This was going to be the biggest of football stadium in all aphasia it can hold up to 30000 people but it's all going to waste I'm standing in a band in football stadium the field in the middle is overgrown local farmers are drying their crops on the 2nd level where the concession stands should be this is loudly a man that was collecting trash I asked him about the empty street blocks around the state and. Empty Yes a lot of. Talk all in the presence lands from the village to build up. Google God and sit in my would be a mole the obvious just 2 ways to land on. A little they are using some of it there are plenty of fruits saying. And was that one from Taiwan. Local Chinese government's build new cities from scratch only after they build the whole thing are people supposed to move and the problem is that this doesn't always happen. Ghost towns aren't the most common result of Chinese urbanization but they do appear in my eyes it's main problem the entire city building process is top down only government officials have any real say I make my way down to the temporary housing the place they put the original peasants who live here they just to come and tear down your house with our land we have nothing to eat it's to cover him and they give us. We don't know what they are beauty but we know that their local government is getting rich Rumor has it they made out with billions of our m. B. But what can you do we don't really talk about our problems here no one dares to do it it's striking to me just how little power people here have to influence their cities how can you build a town with no input from the people who live and work in them you can say you're building a brand new city but it's not really going to happen until you have schools jobs real communities guaranteeing these things even the Chinese Communist Party can always do that but if the party can't do it. Could someone else do it. That's a Torana source Rex screeching into my ear I'm in the central square of the new city for other to the northwest Normally this is where they would put a statue of Mao Zedong in this place they put a dinosaur an animatronic dinosaur. Welcome to seaside city an oasis in a desert a town where they say the free market brings happiness and development to the people I'm here to interview Chairman why the town's developer it would be the 1st time he ever spoke with a foreign reporter. Those a well that see that it's mine yes my shopping center I'm in the chairman's minibus He's a relatively short guy speaks Chinese with a heavy accent from the local dialect he's wearing Playboy brand clothing from head to toe I say that I came from Denmark to interview him that I recently moved there after living in China for many years I'm a old thought of. How big is Denmark. What so a small house only 5500000 is that into you here you are so you know about to go. See I think. It takes a jar of chewing gum and pours about 30 pieces into my hand I put 2 in my mouth and pocket the rest you had to go as a new up those Look at all these people if I didn't build this place they wouldn't be here. Chairman Wang built his town around a central shopping mall it's the Town Square the center of everything we walked through the courtyard leading up to what made hello just so why then so would you know this about 100000 people who come in here every day 100000 people. Look at all the people isn't it pretty good I do a good job. The chairman approaches a random pedestrian but somebody. How about the city like it was what do you think of the public sanitation in India. Now he's motioning towards the person's camera are you saying I can have money how I later you can take pictures of my dad so. He leads me into the shopping mall a row of people and stand by the door characters from Sponge Bob Square Pants and clowns writing unicycles rainbow colored train ride from one end of the massive mall to the other lose. That right this is a place where you come to experience new things we have a dinosaur theme park a skating rink and every simulators helicopters before the movie. He seems to have unlimited energy with a huge smile on his face he's running around his shopping center making sure I take photos of all the attraction and how much they're going to know how I look at the trail over there is a great shot for your piece I really like unlike any other Chinese businessman I've ever met he isn't overly cautious he's saying what's on his mind he's being real. We hear a lot about the people who are transforming China into a superpower but when do we get a chance to really learn what makes them tick. For their goals we should look at all of his people can you believe it is mine that he smashed up he sent to check out the trains of the day this is the city I built the one that has a. Deeper into the mall we arrive at the main event the crown jewel of seaside city being that we are the chairman's entourage he cut to the front of a long line what you shot. Was in 2000 let me in hey you let me in Come on I'm your boss's boss was a great human out of the kind of. Whining I'd say and yeah. Let's put it this way we all assume this situation is an Indian province but now we aren't you know we have a See this is so see I'm gazing into an incredibly large aquarium scuba divers swim around whale sharks woman in mermaid suits gracefully wave to the crowd outside way up top a fleet of ships are taking children on boat rides 2 plaques hang on the wall signifying Guinness World Records I'm viewing this aquatic scene through the world's largest window. The high and somewhat awkward here in seaside city to deal with a large scale migration of aquatic life sea creatures from America a train from the Philippines from every remote ocean in New Zealand these creatures all migrate away to day go. To My City My seaside city chase you know what the high point. Was. To stress this is the chairman asking dozens and dozens of times. I think his city is beautiful. Modern he told me repeatedly that his mission is to bring true happiness to the people. Pretty much. By us all here who want. This isn't normal Chinese developers are supposed to put their heads down and build what the government says it's a direct way to make a lot of money but the chairman seems genuinely concerned with loftier goals he's challenging the entire paradigm of how private entrepreneurs are supposed to act in China how did he get here what drives him. The chairman was born in this area of China about 1500 kilometers away from the richer coastal provinces when market reforms freed up private enterprise in the early eighty's he didn't waste a 2nd his 1st venture was a popsicle factory soon he was building factories for other people to rent out that's when he had his idea. So in the beginning I just came here to build a factory and I didn't think about building a city but then I realized if I could build factories for the crisis. Places places to entertain himself so I bought all the land and decided to make something bigger there was we're now at the chairman's office it's also something of a museum celebrating seaside city the 1st thing you see when you walk into its atrium is a black Cadillac displayed behind velvet ropes. So I hope this car is from when I drove into this area to buy to very 1st apostle of land. I need at length to build the factories that I had come from Hong Kong and was driving this expensive car so I was already really successful it was rare to see cars like this back then but I had one so I was very proud of this car bureaucracy good fortune were never I drove it people supported me why because this car tells other people how much you are worth is a symbol of your status. It's not just this way in China it's also this way in Denmark What if I think by President Clinton Denmark perhaps the president of Denmark would post in Italy meet me at the airport why is that is because and demonstrating to him that I can afford a private plane it proves to him that I have status is shows that I have the money to invest in Denmark it would be easy to get the support of the local Danish government officials I mean if I did and does so that if on some funny question since it is a on the chairman's the kind of guy whose goal is to move the seat he pretty much only speaks in bold statements but still what he told me next it was bold can go in the way and this is those machines and on what I want is a lot of people look at cities as places run by government officials a city is a place where we control people I don't agree she says city is also a city a work in the city are we we are a city the system is the free market system the market and industry have naturally created this city here there are no government officials here running the show there are no government countries doing any planning You can't just build buildings and pave really white roads and call a city she says City is a humane city in the future China will have more cities like this one thank you Paul. On the Pennsylvania House. What the chairman is saying is bold dangerous even modern China was established 70 years ago in a peasant rebellion against a powerful class of landlords the foundational authority of the Chinese Communist party is controlling and managing land chairman Wong is one of the 1st people in modern China to seriously challenge this this is China's 1st city where a private individual has the planning right. Always to create But one city. Little Kid Why can't I create a city so I did. Take off the bus stop the bus and just beautiful. On the side of the road. Look how pretty the chairman's bus pulls into his wastewater treatment plant you can send us a look at the water on. Duty smelly lifeless across the bridge from the dirty water to the area with the treated water a section of it is diverted into a pool with hundreds of fish. Fossil witnessed a miracle if you clean for him but I think it's a very clean. Happiness to do. That makes me happy. Chairman Huang micro-manages everything in his town the utilities roads apartment buildings factories Citizen Service Center all run by him he even has a media department that runs a weekly show about the city. It goes without saying the chairman is the star of his new show this episode is about him receiving a prestigious award for creating China's 1st privatized city it recaps his victory speech quote the people of Seaside city succeed at whatever they choose to do we are united as one in our I honestly believe that yes. That the chairman brought happiness to the people of Seaside city it's something of a Gospel here I think he says it because he genuinely wants to do it. But the people agreed that he made them happy I had to now so while I had my hands full with Chairman long my colleague Pung interviewed residents of seaside city on behalf of b.b.c. World Service. The few have this is young he's in his eighty's he's lived through the Chinese revolution remembers when the communists came through took the land from the landlords and gave it back to poor peasants like himself throughout his life he spent decades still in the land under the supervision of the local Communist Party now he lives a few blocks away from a colony of Will sharks. How things are great here living standards are better now you know no longer have to work under the sun in the fields all day long yeah it was hell before but you know you know it's have or. Look at this guy across the street I miss making a living repairing bicycles by giving his land to see sights city you know has a motor and job. I have never met but I saw him on t.v. He was talking about giving the shopping mall to his daughter. But although I have never met him I receive his money every month 10 dollars per month. For all the old timers in the it will. Go on I say he has explored in the real field. There's a lot of people here who think like this but seaside city has a catch to build such a meticulously design place chairman Wang needed complete control over everything this creates problems for people like Ms Lee that's a pseudonym it will become clear in a moment why I'm using one. Who would bow our house here we assume that we would be the property owners but after buying it we didn't actually get the property rights this created so many problems for us schooling for our children access to government services so many products the salesperson said that we would get property rights when mislead bought her home she thought she was buying exactly that a home in China this means getting official property rights but after the fact she learned that her contract was different than what she expected she was locked into renting a home from Chairman Hall for 60 years this city of 100000 people the factories apartments commercial space it's basically all rented from Chairman Hall It's how he has such tight control of the urban planning he's the town landlord. That. People buy houses Solaire kids can go to school but the kids can't go to school if we don't have property rights to a place in this area and I can sell off my lease to anyone else who or don't want to have planes let doesn't have property rights so many families are facing this problem I don't believe anything that the chairman or one says none of us believe they have in our apartment building one guy was sentenced to 29 months in jail for speaking out someone working at a shopping mall was also sentenced to 29 months in jail it's the truth I followed up on us. It seems that some angry residents had been arrested by the local government although some people say they knew what they were getting into There are many others here that are upset with the terms of their leases the official line from Chairman Wang is that he's currently working to help tenants like Ms Lee gain access to public schools and services. This is Mr Pung another pseudonym he's one of the original peasants who live here he thinks that things would have been more fair if the government had taken his land rather than chairman why there's no way to voice your opinions here Cohen a call but you know of a big saw. What struck me about seaside city is that it did what many freedom loving people in the West have been suggesting China do for a long time government stepped out of the way but the free market run the show but the result it's a kingdom. Is a good one you don't want to go because I've never spoken to the tema I've seen him walking around surrounded by his entourage but how could a guy like me speak to him. It's an advance a young man you dealt with you know from. There and here I met chairman Wang's Burger King at the table next to me and the chairman was too young and Hildreth with their family runs over to their table sits down with the kids and beckons his media team to film the conversation the parents and the children have no idea what's going on. My name is I'm the founder here I'm a member of the Chinese on that national group of esteem private businessmen the young boy nods politely back at the chairman have you been to Dubai Dubai has an aquarium like this but this much Mollett in Alice there is only 30 minutes White House is 40 meters is only 8 meters tall I was is 9 meters if you know to it has the richest people in too well but now the Chinese people have suppressed them so why is this foreigner here recording us it's because we have even suppressed Dubai we are the biggest red abbess we have our own ocean how how this conversation felt important to me every single person we talk to here even people suffering obvious injustice they told us they're proud of seaside city such a modern city popping up in a hinterland province it actually does make people happy it's a symbol of the Chinese people rising up and restoring their dignity as a nation because I mean this is the guy that complained earlier about things being unfair in seaside city we ask if he still thinks it was a good thing that Huang took his land the answer is yes he is the host this guy was collecting trash off the street barely making a living room of their going to follow you I have the go to help he's saying that Chairman Wang gets a thumbs up from the peasants that China needs more people like him. He's impressed with the pretty shopping centers and amusement parks that it's all proof that China is developing into a strong country so that to me this all begs the question of how captive sea creatures swimming around Gucci outlets became a symbol of Chinese national revival but even though I don't quite understand the nationalism I know that these people's feelings are real chairman while most of all . Today my dream has come through the Chinese dream is coming through is the dream of all the people the dream of our hour and systems when we walk away from the kids chairman Hwang's excited let's go to here was there for some great improvisation so we got it all on camera we put it on the news people will say look the boss said down and had an intimate conversation we kids. Will reach out you think American great I tell him that I think he's out. We're back on Chairman Wang's minibus wrapping up our tour of the city. And Mark is what kind of people is the way people the entire day he's been fixated on Denmark the place where I was living at that time he keeps coming back to it again and again until finally I understand why so it. Is so whole Actually let me tell you the biggest success of your visit here today it was in interviewing me this is the biggest thing you get is an opportunity that you need to go back to Denmark and should the government approve of the space. Big cities can bring jobs only can do it all for you this is a new model of city that will spread to the whole Wolf. So. You can be done let's build a city government would need to spend a penny of this build it I mean she is not talking about the Gulf and go initiative Let's go to Denmark let's not make the development of Denmark let's make the prettiest city in all of Denmark this city will belong to Denmark I can't possibly bring it home. I'll create just for the Danish people help the government get more tax revenue right I'll bring happiness to the Danish people what's stopping. This is the b.b.c.

I was out. Here in California were supposed to be my line of a. Happy Thanksgiving. Like . How. Are You Ready To me. Kelly Clarkson's show today to n.b.c. For yeah. It turns out that Ron and Mike then you. Are in c. Chairwoman has actually tweeted out these headlines. Right by headlines last 24 hours they voted Democratic Now they say it's Democrat. Voted Democrat now they support Trump That's the New York Times story we just talked about about. People voting tromping 26 didn't vote the Democrats in the midterms by the way why would you do that. I mean if you really want to get into the weeds why would people do you well let Donald Trump and 2016 then you elect people are going to try to stop him and 2018 and then the same people say they're going to go back and are going to vote for Trump again in 2020. So the Democrats believe me one of their primary objectives has been to drive a wedge between all Trump supporters and Trump or as many as possible may have been able to trump got a 90 percent approval rating in the Republican Party they have failed abysmally in that effort the a.p. Headline impeachment fight leaves voters cold in contested Wisconsin state the trump one shockingly and the impeachment fight is not turning anybody against Trump there that's a big bomb and in the Washington Post the unexciting reality of impeachment very few Mayans have been changed. And The Washington Post c.n.n. Poll basically says the same thing it's that the Democrats and it's come back to bite them exactly as it was forecast to do it you can even say that it may have backfired now more and more Democrats talking about how hey wait a minute if this actually goes to the Senate Republicans are not going to vote to kick him out of office are going to be acquitted. Meanwhile it's full speed ahead with Gerry Navarrette his hearing starting on the 4th of December so there is a race there's a race the Democrats are in a race to get this done they want to get it done as quickly as possible Byron York has a piece out today it says the reason that the Democrats are in such a hurry is that they want to get this done and out of the way before the Hawkeye caucus. And that's when the tree primary process traditionally began Jan the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary and the Democrats want to have this all out of the way by them. They can dream but there's not if there is a trial it's not going to be over by the Hawkeye calk right the turtle will see that that. I can guaran damn tee you without even talking to the turtle that there's no way this trial is going to be over he wants Democrat Senate candidates for president to not be able to campaign keep him there they've got to stay there during a trial. I think there's another reason for the speed of this and it actually is a whole story so one of the reasons for the speed is that they know it's not working and they're in the process of losing the public's attention over this there was a moment before ships hearings began where they had the public's attention is impeachments a big deal in many people's lives never happened before last time 199899 whenever the Clinton impeachment was part of that it was it was a Nixon but it never got very far because Nixon resigned so most people have never actually there has Clinton Senate impeachment trials the only one and then the shift hearings began and as a t.v. Show they were doll and boring and there was no compelling testimony so now it didn't work and minds aren't being changed and we had a caller yesterday who I think nailed this this is in large part about the black mark on Trump even Pietschmann just to be able to say the impeached President Donald Trump the impeached President Donald Trump today said Donald Trump impeached in 2019 said probably I think is another thing at work here let's be honest the health of certain Supreme Court justices is not good. Let's say there becomes a Supreme Court vacancy next year do you think the turtle's going to say sorry we can't we can't nominate and confirm any Supreme Court nominees during an election year like he did the in 2016 you know it'll be full speed ahead to nominate yet another trump justice and that is going to cause a meltdown like we may not have seen despite everything they've tried with Kavanagh but I think they want the black mark to be able to. Impugn Ammi Tromp Supreme Court nominee as a number of things working as to why they're trying to speed this up but at the top of the list is that it is failing right now so speeding it up contains any number of contacts such as speeding it up and getting it over with was as little damage to the Democrats as possible speeding it up and getting that black mark on Trump as soon as we can for the campaign speeding it up and getting that black mark on Trump so that we can discuss any Supreme Court nomination we might make and speeding it up so that we can get it out of the way by the time our primary contests actually begin but is that very objective of speeding it up that is going to put all kinds of the land mines in front of them and they're going to step on a bunch of Mark my words because my friends the truth of all of this is if you go back to election night 2016 every Democrat effort to achieve their objective of overturning the election results of 2016 has failed. And failed spectacularly they have not moved the needle at all among voters in this country that they made a mistake and that Trump needs to be removed from office they haven't they haven't gained an inch I don't care what impression you get watching the Drive-By Media they haven't gained an inch in that objective and in the process they have looked petty and small they have allowed and let the media have it totally compromise whatever remaining integrity it had left which wasn't much. I saw a segment on t.v. Right there what was during the 1 o'clock break that I want to comment on here and there happens to be a story that will allow me once again to transition to it here is the headlines of Breitbart story 69 percent of voters prefer free market capitalism to socialism 50 percent say they will not vote for a Socialist candidate now this is a combination poll from the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports $1000.00 the likely voters 33 percent Republican 37 percent Democrat 30 percent independent now of the Republicans that riposte 87 percent said that free market capitalism was better 69 percent of Independents agreed that capitalism is better but the poll found that 53 percent of Democrats also said that a free market system was preferable to socialism. Well that contradicts what we're seeing about polling data elsewhere last week and the week before I saw a couple of polls now they were of millennia old and younger one poll indicated that 30 percent of millennial favor. Sorry 70 percent favor socialism 30 percent are intrigued by communism and then there was the story about how. A majority of kids 16 to 24 had no idea who mounts a tongue or Joseph Stalin were. Which tells me that the truth of communism and its dictatorial murderous thug leaders is not being taught but then there are polls that show that millennial is really really do favor socialism they really are and I heard somebody on t.v. Explaining why that is ever trying to make it understandable Well let's take a look what is capitalism at this point who it is doesn't matter it's not mine I'm not mentioning a name because I don't want you to pummel him with the e-mails it's not the point it's what they said that gives me the bouncing off point here the person said that capitalism is a very scary thing going to high school then you go to college and throughout those years you're told that you're going to be long in your on your own you gotta make your own way he's got to self-support you got to be self-reliant and that is a very scary thing capitalism is a very scary you're 22 years old you're about ready to graduate college and all of a sudden your are in your own and you've got to provide whatever you want your rent or what you've got to provide of yours that's very scary If on the other hand somebody comes along and says he will take care all that for him or going to small force we'll take care your rent will take care of your health care will you be able garden outside your one room studio apartment that will provide for you as persons and that's far more attractive than a scary ass Missa capitalism can be very scary I'm watching this and I asked myself why didn't it scare me. I couldn't wait to get out on my own I couldn't wait to start providing for myself because it represented freedom and it was it was an opportunity and not to mention that's just the way it was it's just the way it was you didn't grow up expecting to be taken care of I'm a Baby Boomer generation. Now I guess part of my generation did because every generation has socialist and babies and. Scared people in it but it was just it was it was the way it was at some point you were expected to grow up and that's how you were raised you were raised to grow up to mature and to learn how to provide and take care of yourself because someday you were going to have your own family and you had to do that for your family now that I know feminism came along and kind of got in the way of all that but still there was no there might have been some some fear of yeah it's a big step going out on your own but it never resulted in a debate oh my God you know what I think socials would be better know so what is it today that's got Why is it justified to think that capitalism is scary and once again I'll bet you that we can trace it back to education we have to somebody has to be provide is an influence and I I know that that education and media are the 2 most primary. Mechanisms that create public opinion in the country today if you make it through pop culture in there too as an ancillary but those are the 2 education the media and I'll tell you what during this climate change stuff capitalism has been beaten up like you can't believe. Oh speaking of that protest at the Yale Harvard game last weekend where a bunch of environmentalist whackos showed up protesting at halftime shutting down the game extending it for a while you know the right way to look at that this is desperation the climate change crowd is losing the battle for public opinion the climate change crowd is getting desperate the climate change crowd is getting frustrated they have not created majority public opinion to get rid of fossil fuels to rollback American Progress they haven't succeeded in this they're getting frustrated so now they're having to take drastic action they're having to protest events that are very popular or a lot of people are in order to get seen in order to get noticed and it's going to backfire on them I don't care what you think if you're at the Harvard Yale game you don't want to see a bunch of spoiled brats storming the field at half time doing their own version of Collin caper Nick you just don't want to see it this is Thanksgiving the way I'm looking I think things are trending in a in a very positive direction in a number of ways in the left versus right battle and I'm not a Pollyanna and I don't I don't offer false optimism just for the sake of it I'm not capable of that anyway I'm not capable of false optimism unrealistic optimism. So. You look at the indicators out there and even even the left in the media they're not able to hide their shocking disappointment that this massive effort 1st with Russia coersion and then Kavanagh now the Ukraine that they are frustrated to all get out they have failed. And particularly the media of the media back in the days of their monopoly pre-one 988 could get rid of anybody they wanted to had mighty taken them 2 or 3 years to get rid of Nixon and it might have taken them 7 years to finally get George Bush's approval numbers down to the thirty's but they were able nevertheless to do it they can now there's no way that you can say the media has 6 trump a still in office and Trump is having a grand time Trump is living the life Trump is living the dream he's having fun with these people I don't mean to say that he preferred this over not having to deal with this but the end of the day they haven't really laid a glove on him he's still able to employment his agenda his agenda is still working great. They haven't been able to stop him in any which way they've tried and they haven't really admitted that until now and these headlines today are kind of an indication that they're the ones feeling despondent got to take a break will be back and continue after obstruction is always at work and the e.i.b.

In downtown public thanks for listening on your smart speaker new stock 590 s j. Hi welcome back happy Thanksgiving and happy. From. The networks and back to the phones to Elkhart Indiana this is Rhonda and I'm glad you waited Hello yes Rush you know how you're not lying tell us on loan from God You say it all the time but the other day you added one sentence to that struck me so much I went and got a pen and I wrote it down and this is what you said it will be recalled at some point. And I realize that this is how I have been living my life I've had some really hard and painful things so that if you haven't my life and so for many years I was just consumed with fear. But it was a real encounter with a mighty love of God that just healed me from all that junk and got rid of my fear and I'm telling you the day that my talent in my opportunities are recalled that will be a happy day for me because I just do not live with regrets anymore I leave it all out on the field and so if there's anything I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving peason it is that chill roof How did you do it a lot of people would love to know how you do if you said you were living a lot of your life or that fear and regret and you don't anymore so how did you do that I don't actually I mean I'm a person of faith and rather I say How did you how did you stop How did how did how did you when I knew the love of God For me I don't think I've learned that actually the opposite of fear isn't really say it's love because it says in the New Testament perfect love casts out fear and I'm telling you once I got a grasp on the actual unconditional love of God For me it just melted my fears away and I can do anything and I can go anywhere and all the pain that I've had in my life it all makes so much sense and now it sounds like you are living your life with a whole bunch of self-imposed limitations that you realize you have put there and you could easily remove them. Well but I couldn't do it on my own rushed there was no way there what kind of things what would you say you're living your life in fear give me a couple examples if you'd rather not I'm not trying to crow but no no well for one thing just absolute terror about other people's opinion of me and so I couldn't speak out I couldn't use my voice because other people the piñon ruled me well it doesn't anymore because I I am so full of God's love for me that it just flows out of me to other people it is the most amazing way to live I mean I can meet anybody transgenders wrong lessons and I have nothing but the love of God get loans from me transgenders lesbians and drunks you can meet and have yes anybody anywhere and I have so much courage now. To speak when I need to speak to do things that would have just been terrifying to me and it was discovering a personal relationship with God that led you to this is that is that what you're saying oh yes yes and so when when I know now that I'm convinced of God's love for me. There just isn't anything that can scare me anymore well that is great that's a great thing to have happen to anybody especially getting rid of the fear of what other people that's paralyzing.

I am so happy for our previous caller figuring those things out you know it's all root and it's all rooted in everybody wanting to be loved everybody wants the natural human. Existence you want to be love we all do most people are raised to be liked I mean most parents don't want their kids to be hated people are not raised to be disliked raised to be loved exceptions to everything and in order to be loved by anybody it's a cliche but it's true you have to like yourself and if you don't if you are if you really have. Much of problems with yourself people are going to know it's going to be it's. It's obvious there really is even though it's a question that you can't you're not going to have a. Genuine real intimacy with people I'm not talking about sexual and I'm just intimacy of relationships is not possible to achieve if you don't really like yourself because if you don't like yourself you're not going to be who you are because you're going to be self-conscious about who you are if you don't like yourself. You're going to act in ways unlike you you're going to act the way you think people who want you to be or expect you to be and that's when you run into being concerned about what people think of you and that is a prison it is a payroll it's a paralyzing prison and the worst thing about it being caught in this trap of being concerned what other people think of you you have to assume everybody else is rock solid like themselves doesn't have any hang ups and nobody is that way. Everybody is a self focused as you are. Everybody is as concerned with what they think are there own deficiencies as you are concerned with yours but when you don't like yourself and when you're in prison worried about one of them people think of you you're automatically assigning perfection to those people and failing in comparison you know who is really really obviously great at not caring what people think about them as Donald j. Trump but you know what the conflict is he's desperate to be loved he wants to be loved. He always has like every one of us I talk to him in February after his inauguration in January 26th he said What's the most surprising thing is I thought the country be unified by now but they get over it I said they're never going to unify that they're never going to like they're going to hate you with increasing intensity and he didn't say anything for a while he literally fans thought that he could. Eventually turn all that hate into some kind of either negative or neutral attitude about him or even support now he's learned that that isn't going to happen and he's learned who to focus on and he has never had a problem not liking him self that's his saving grace but he's a classic example you love Trump why says what he says thinks what he thinks says it and says it and does it and does it laughs and has a great time doing it says things purposely to irritate people and it works fights back all the reasons you like Donald Trump or because he is not in any kind of a prison that has him paralyzed because of what people think. That's He's one of the greatest examples of the liberation from that that prison and I consider it to be. That that I could give you and you'd be amazed if you once you get out of that once you literally stop caring what other people think about you if you ever does happen to you and it's tough to misunderstand it it's especially because the way we're all raised were all raised not to embarrass the family and not embarrass yourself not. Don't get involving controversial Don't say things that people going to disagree with it's how we're all raised and if it causes people to contract within themselves but once you get out of that once once you reach a point where fewer and fewer outside opinions occur to you you're going to notice how much more you're enjoying life and you're going to have an abject awareness that you seem a little freer Wess constricted but it's a tough thing to do and make no mistake most everybody's in that prison you may not think so because you're only thinking about yourself you're thinking about yourself as inferior or you think people think you're screwed up or like this woman said you're living in fear or whatever the fear is and you think nobody else is everybody else is totally totally well adjusted everybody else out there is solid they look like it but they're not everybody has the same basic constitution is or body else some are better at faking it than others but the truth of the matter is. That once you stop seeking the approval of others and and live your life for your own approval because you know everybody has a voice in your head silent voice most people don't need to know you need to be told when they did a good job you know what you don't need to be told when you've screwed up you know what. So the more days where you're feeling good about what you've done be it in work and in your relationship being with your kids the more days where you just know you have done well you know like yourself a lot and it's going to change the way other people see you so kudos to her because Man it's tough it's tough to overcome a lifetime childhood of being raised and this is not a rap on parents it's just the way way things are but now look before time gets away from me here we've got the true story of Thanksgiving coming up in the next hour but Frank Siller tunnel in towers was back on Fox today folks to announce even more great works they have been able to accomplish because of the money raised at the Rush Limbaugh dot com Store and the stand up for Betsy Ross campaign this was Fox and Friends today and Frank Siller of the c.e.o.

And they sell apparel including this fleece for it got a whole new little hi I'm going out for Christmas he wants to raise more more money for us and we can't do without once again without their money we would not been able to live in these 3 mortgage free homes this year to these great heroes and it's so I mean they have they're up to 14 or 15 I think this is 3 just in in the recent past and throw the picture back up again because there that's Frank Siller on the right with with Meca Nelson she was the. Recipient she is the gold star widow her husband killed in action and tunnel the towers was able to pay off her mortgage and its functions not Katherine and me it is you we have been able to donate 4 $1000000.00 and counting to Tunnel to Towers.

I'm honestly man I feel like the stats are just wrong man because I'm telling you right now it's really fast I don't have a t. Shirt I don't have a bumper sticker I don't have a flag I don't have anything and all the impeachment stuff that they're pulling I mean it's just unbelievable I'm telling you there's a whirlwind of people who are not allowed to talk about it and if they're going to bite really really hard. In this next election it's going to be insane that that millennial step thing is just completely wrong Wait a minute you and I'm confused you think the Democrats are wasting money on these impeachment inquiries they don't have the money on the what do you mean they don't have the money well I think that So as far as the impeachment money goes I think that I mean the Democrats I think they're bankrupt with their ideas I also think that you know they're kind of out of money I think they're using our public money to fund it. Which is which is unbelievable there's no there's no need to look into it there's no question about that and. Democrats I think they're bankrupt with their ideas I also think that you know they're kind of out of money I think they're using our public money to fund it. Which is which is unbelievable there's how big it ought to be but people voting democrat think government's going to be doing a lot for him these Democrats are not doing diddly squat there's not a Democrat fingerprints on any of the economic improvements that have had taken place there's not a Democrat fingerprint on any of the new manufacturing jobs there's not a Democrat fingerprint on any of the new trade deals that have happened there's not a Democrat fingerprint on any of the foreign policy advancements that Trump has made they've been too busy taking money that isn't There's that is the taxpayers actually and devoting it to this impeachment effort of theirs and so no yeah that's a that's a great point let me squeeze one more in before Bill in Canton Ohio great to have us or hello Well thank you very much Rush thanks for taking my phone call Yeah I just wanted to talk about earlier in the show you had mentioned the protesters that were protesting fossil fuel that they have time to Yale and Harvard football game yeah and it's just a quick observation I'm not a chemist but I don't think some of these protesters realize how much of the products that they use every day materials are made from fossil fuels and that includes polyester material probably from the clothes that they were wearing on their backs to the plastics that they used to manufacture the precious What's the one thing they can't do without. Well they can't do without clothing on their back and not much of our notice they can do without their phones yet their phones they are naked without their phones and those phones could not not one element of those phones could be made if we have not discovered fossil fuels. Not your point is right on the money is a great Ronald Reagan story about that by the way but sadly I haven't the time to impart if now somebody has to have lots to say and rush the network as well as all the Rush Limbaugh.

Nice. You're listening to the news room from the b.b.c. World Service with me Charlotte's Canada President Trump has said Hill designate Mexico's drug cartels as terrorist organizations in a radio interview with the conservative talk show host Bill O'Reilly Mr Trump said his administration had been working on the process for the past 3 months look we're losing 100000 people a year to what's happening and what's coming through on Mexico and they have unlimited money the people the cartels because they have a lot of money because it's drug money and human trafficking money will lose 810-0000 people now multiply that times 10 the families are destroyed you know that are absolutely destroyed it is a very very sad situation you're going to donate a matching guardrails Arab designating the card Absolutely that's got more on this from a Central America correspondent will grant and will what would be the consequence of this. Well it has major effects in terms of what financial institutions are supposed to do if they are knowingly in control of money that has been put there by the drug cartels they have to now and the authorities freeze the money and so on so forth it also allows the u.s. Government to prosecute people more easily to deport alleged members and so on but I think the announcement sort of caught Mexico off guard a little bit it was only earlier this week that the Mexican government themselves turned around and said well they didn't expect the trumpet ministration to go forward with this plan and so united is sort of has taken him by surprise despite the fact he comes within the context of an uptick in the violence in this country and of course that terrible situation in which cartel gunmen opened fire and killed 9 members of a Mormon community u.s. Citizens and many of them children just this month so what's been the reaction from the Mexican government because elsewhere in the interview Mr Trump sort of talks about the u.s. Going into Mexico and essentially dealing with the cartels themselves. Yes I think those sorts of comments are never going to be welcomed into by the Mexican government and they quite quickly issued a statement of their own saying that the foreign minister Marcello every doubt will be speaking to Secretary of State Pompei Oh about the issues not just the idea that the terrorist organization designation of the cartels which obviously affects Mexican government and then their own strategy feels very much like a unilateral action but this gesture you know there would be war there might be boots on the ground or anything like that obviously we have to take it into the context of the kind of language being used in a talk show you know is this actual policy but that's the sort of clarity that they want to get into and I can imagine there's going to be some quite strong words between the 2 countries when you know when those 2 men get on the phone later and later on in the day thanks we'll that was Will Grant in Mexico in Washington Congress has invited President Trump to its 1st impeachment hearing next week the probe is looking into whether Mr Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate his political rival Joe Biden allegations the president denies speaking at a rally in Florida Mr Trump once again called the inquiry a witch hunt hurt. The rush your own home. Then you look at the mall or do you remember that mess they had nothing and now the same maniacs are pushing the Dereck. Impeach because you think. The same as before our North America Correspondent David Willis has been telling me about the next stages of the inquiry the House Intelligence Committee will be compiling a report based on the findings of the impeachment inquiry that follows a series of interviews over the last few weeks and that report will then be sent to the House Judiciary Committee once lawmakers return from the Thanksgiving holiday and the next phase of the impeachment process will begin on the 4th of December when the House Judiciary Committee holds a hearing to look into the constitutional aspects relating to the whole affair President Trump and his lawyers have been invited to attend the Judiciary Committee's hearings and a hearing and to question witnesses if they care to do so and the White House has been given until this Sunday to decide whether Mr Trump or his lawyers will attend and do you think Mr Trump will attend President Trump has declared himself keen to testify in Deedes complains that is legal team was unable to take part in the 1st set of public hearings but he's due to be out of the country next week attending the NATO summit So if President Trump a sitting president appeared at an impeachment hearing what would be the reaction from the public. Oh this would be quite stunning wouldn't it and president is in fact for the president to go before Congress which he's had a very adversarial relationship with than give evidence in public it would of course be must see television as the saying goes but unlikely for a number of reasons despite the fact that the president claims otherwise meanwhile does all appear that the House of Representatives is getting close to a possible vote of charges of high crimes and misdemeanors a vote of the full House which is Democratic controlled of course is likely to take place sometime just before Christmas we think that was David Willis to Albania now where a 6.4 magnitude earthquake has struck north of the capital to Ron Miller who the moment it was a real horror so I tried to get us from my home I went through the glass door and I cut myself bad mood. Fatters Jango is with the Albanian Red Cross he's been helping with the relief efforts actually already of course always keep his talk with basic a materialist that served for such cases I mean for emergency happening like a hands like blankets like. The other materials food parasols. Calls that you have so always keep these dog available to respond quickly a stall or something happened in this case. Whoever quake happened and the elite were immediately this List dot com things off for about 1000 the beneficiaries the earthquake has killed 20 people and injured 600 up to 15 people may still be missing thousands of Albanians whose homes were destroyed taking shelter in tents erected by the Army Guy de Lorme reports from the region it's Albania strongest earthquake for decades the earthquake hit while most people were sleeping just before 4 in the morning those who could made for the streets as soon as their homes stopped shaking. Hospitals have been overwhelmed they've treated hundreds of people many cases a minor but deaths and serious injuries have been increasing as the rescue continues. Others are still trapped a number of buildings collapsed in the quake mostly in the coastal city to address a nearby for man or rescuers have pulled dozens of people alive from the rubble but it's hazardous work one building collapsed as a team was waiting to enter. At least they'll have plenty of help earthquakes are a fact of life in this region neighboring countries have sent in their rescue teams and Italy Greece and Germany are among the countries sending specialist assistance guy to Lonny months of protests have gripped Hong Kong and many people around the world and you might think Hong Kong is a dent. Sleep packed city of tall tower as a nothing more but there are more than $260.00 islands that are part of the territory with a more traditional pace of life the council representing the outlying islands as they're known will be the only one beyond the control of pro-democracy councillors following the recent election that's mainly because nearly hall of the seats are reserved for appointed heads of rural communities likely to be pro one of the island's Islamiah and the B.B.C.'s Ben James went to visit. We just got to the pier I'm standing on on the ferry from Central Hong Kong to find a rather different side of this place of course somebody who's going to help explain where we are Introduce yourself. And I've lived here on Lama. For 11 years already What's it like living here oh well one of all I mean people of different fields still I don't agree with you but we still nod and still make friends this is the beauty of Lama is it less expensive to live here or more expensive less less thank God but I miss that catching up catching up that's one of the issues people have been talking about I think it's important to see how the government Vishal the lack of proper planning so it can see over the construction of the breeze over there but right next to is treason playground just a minute ago this pay was completely empty but the ferries now drop people off as a few people come past with a suitcase used to catch that ferry back to the woods to the city center Now you were part of the election and you're standing for one of the pro-democracy groups here you didn't quite win what were the issues that you were campaigning on the number one is to have transparency in the information that's what we lack off for this is like all the big concession buildings and all that information the consultation of the black about. 2 weeks in a spot where the people at the we notice the indigenous They have their own their use which I treasure and they don't want. So we cannot change that so we. Just noticed on the the side of the pier the old style looking houses on stilts over there right on the waterfront it's very chilled here it fails Has there been any protests here if you had any confrontations that we've seen in the middle of town already which is quite a unique thing both whether you support the government or not most of them frightened of what's happening outside Is that Ok you know at least when we come home we know with the wind of conversation either and that actually the people who support what we've been doing that because they know unproved democracy they say well so they kind of like connect that pulled him up perceived as the right you know people in these 2 to be educated in the sense that was Ben James now Chris has some other stories from our news desk the head of a maximum security jail and a prison doctor have been arrested in Nigeria following allegations that they enabled a prisoner to conduct Internet scams hope Olusegun I wrote he carried out a $1000000.00 fraud while serving a 24 year jail sentence for fraud he had access to a mobile phone and the Internet the bodies of 16 Vietnamese people who were found dead in a refrigerated truck in the u.k. Have arrived back in Vietnam they were among 39 migrants who died in the truck in October and the Indian ride sharing foam has become signing up drivers in London ahead of plans to launch its services in the capital in the coming weeks comes days after the company's rival was denied a new license to operate in London after repeated safety failures every year the Kremlin releases calendars of Lattimer Putin in the 2019 version the Russian president came across as a fit outdoorsman But the 2020 version is very different Kate Gregan has. The Kremlin cover man is back but this time he's baring all of his clothes last year the tweeny 19 calendar of the Russian president made headlines around the world with sort of let him a person be chased it we saw him pumping his guns at the gym and we also saw him holding a puppy but for 2020 the Kremlin his suit a different tone this is actually 6 slightly different calendars as well as a do stop motion but next calendar is all I am to projecting an image of let me Persian is the ultimate international statesman and global policy shaper and most of the photos the president is saying and his suit and many of with would later is and one he's shaking hands with u.s. President Donald Trump and another his pitch it holding talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and this one with him smiling alongside Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin so much but it's not all biases in politics sticking with tradition there's also a picture of him wearing a huntsman a tie examining a plant in the forest and in another his very own Jennings and holding. And if you want to check out that calendar there's lots and lots of pictures online. Let's go back to the u.s. Now and look at a new report about life expectancy and it's pretty bleak reading because death rates among young and middle aged people have been rising over the past decade even though the u.s. Is one of the world's wealthiest nations report's author is Professor Stephen Wolf from Virginia Commonwealth University Americans operate under a lot of misconceptions and one of them is that they are the healthiest people in the world and part of our goal here is to try to raise public awareness that that's absolutely not the case most Americans are not aware that their chances of dying before age 65 are on the rise so what's driving this I had more from our North America correspondent not a tough week the key thing here is that there has. Been this rise in the death rates among working age adults so those between the ages of 25 to 34 they saw the largest jump in death rates from 2010 to 2017 in that group so a rise of 29 percent in the death rate for that group and they've attributed that to things like an increase in drug overdoses from the opioid epidemic that has really affected some parts of the Midwest and other rural areas also to increase suicides other illnesses even you know including obesity and people driving while distracted by their cell phone so there were dozens of factors but those were the ones that they really highlighted and she think people in the us a surprised by these findings I would say absolutely the fact that people can kind of see the opioid epidemic in the toll that's taken and see that suicide has become such a problem in society kind of at the same time it's still really hits them that health care in the United States is something that really needs to be looked at more closely I think one of the interesting things about the study was that the co-author Steven Wolf said it's not just about having a good health care system it's about having good social connections a good safety net for Americans who fall on hard times so for example a lot of the declines that we saw were in areas where manufacturing had declined where again the opioid epidemic has really hit people who are suffering because they can't make a living wage and the United States doesn't have enough social programs to assist these people in fact the author made a point to say that in America it's really you're on your own to fend for yourself if you fall on hard times and he said it's this especially affected women who are the ones who are mostly responsible for child care and have even less support than men so it's really interesting to see in this report an emphasis on that kind of the social community aspect of the problem and not just the health care system not a toffee. At the lease investigation into the murder of a multis journalist 2 years ago continues to pile pressure on the government Daphne Carolina galit c.e.o. Was investigating corruption in the highest levels of the Maltese government as rich Preston reports one by 13 government ministers stepped down 1st was the prime minister's chief of staff Keith Schembri amid reports he was to be questioned by police shortly after the tourism minister Conrad Mitzi and then the economy minister Christian Cardona suspended himself from duties the men denied any involvement in the death of the prominent journalist these resignations come after days of angry scenes. Using politicians of protecting those responsible for Daphne Kirwan a girl it's years death she was killed by a car bomb in 2017 she'd been investigating corruption at the highest levels of Maltese government Her sister is Kareena Vella to our staff was there 1st always been linked to her work now with feeling awful recognition of that in the form of a newspaper report a quote of the police saying they were following up on something that they had reported about people who had in recent months switched from being going complete denial is trying to excuse and defend what is very evidently corrupt behavior they're finally for having to face up to the fact that the prime minister's chief of staff is implicated in the murder inquiry the very fact that he's implicated in the murder inquiry is enough to shake even the most Reza news people in denial so far 3 people have been charged in relation to the killing but police still want to find out who ordered it which Preston now to British politics where the Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn has been singled out by Britain's most senior Jewish leader he question. And his fitness to be prime minister if he wins December's general election the chief rabbi says the poison of anti Semitism has taken root in the Labor Party but speaking to the b.b.c. Jeremy Corbyn said there could be no place for any kind of racism in his party are political correspondent is Norman Smith the intervention by the chief rabbi in the middle of an election could scarcely be more damaging reigniting doubts about Mr Corbin's handling of anti-Semitism but also his leadership an issue his opponents want to make central to this campaign is to Corbin chose not to respond directly to the Chief Rabbi's criticism despite the deeply personal charges namely that the poison in the Labor party had been sanctioned from the top that claims to have dealt with it were a mundane fiction and that Mr Corbin was complicit in prejudice the Labor leader speaking at the launch of his party's race and faith manifesto defended himself by pointing to new rules and fast tracked expulsions and he highlighted as he has done on many occasions before his record as an anti racism campaigner m g 7 says I'm in any form is vile and wrong there is no place whatsoever for anti semitism in any shape or form or in any place whatsoever in modern Britain and under a Labor government it will not be tolerated in any form 'd what so ever I want to make. This to Corbin's words however failed once again to allay the disquiet of many in the Jewish community afterwards the British Board of Deputies said it was impossible to trust Mr Corben given his readiness to indulge anti semites and interviewed by the B.B.C.'s Andrew Neil Mr Corben repeatedly refused to apologize Wouldn't you like to take this opportunity tonight to apologize to the British Jewish community for what happens on our site is this. I am determined that our society be safe for people of all faiths I don't want anyone to be feeling insecure in our society so you know who gets the abuse they receive on the streets on the trains or in the juvenile and other forms of life Mr Corbin's aides may well take the view that there is now probably little the Labor leader can say or do to win over his critics but today's row is much more than just a damaging distraction it threatens to fuel unease about Mr Corbin's leadership Norman Smith and we end this program in Spain when members of the European Space Agency a gathering to agree a multi-billion dollar program the money will cover range of projects from New Earth observation satellites to missions to the moon and Mars Science Correspondent Jonathan Amos reports from Seville every 3 years European Space Agency member states come together to approve its policies it's 2 days of hard negotiation those countries bid cash to take the lead on new rocket systems planetary probes a new types of telecom satellite national industries a guaranteed lucrative our Indian vestment in return the meeting always starts with some drama and this time it centered on whether the u.k.

Welcome to seaside city it's been called China's 1st privatized city but what does that really mean it's mine the whole city is my joining David Boyd's battle for amp work coming up straight after the news.

And that's the very latest b.b.c. Knees. German Huang's dream was to build a city on the sea to be China's most daring real estate tycoon to turn a blank slate of countryside into paradise an entirely new type of Chinese city here he is taking me on a tour of his creation were both speaking Chinese so myself and a translator are overdubbing the conversation who are meant to be in the kissing it took only 4 years so construction to go from country said to city now days 1000 companies 120000 people Don't I tell him that I just am Denmark that there aren't building just tall anywhere there. Is a payment high he said in unison is now somewhere else in Northern Europe. So all kid let me tell you about No 0 also of the rest of you see how high in displaces you but she does usually evolve over hundreds of years is a still process to my right. But in China today there are people who can devote their lives to making a city all on the own I want to make Don't most spectacular city in all of China the most spectacular city in the whole world. Knighthood seriously even than honey . This is the story of Chairman long and his seaside city inspired by his travels to Disney World and Dubai the chairman planned every detail of this place on a beat I do a big deal like it. Before it would have been impossible for a Chinese real estate tycoon like long to design an entire city by himself but not anymore this is China's 1st privatized city mewing to city at times and but what does that even means. Those although it's smart to notice of those a whole city is mine. I'm David Borenstein with b.b.c. World Service and this is Emperor complex. Chairman Wong built his city during the biggest building boom in human history in the 2 years when he started his Project 201-3214 China use more concrete than the USA did in the entire 20th century. It's a city building Bonanza and it's had many successes but it also has glaring problems problems that Chairman one claims privatized cities can fix so before I go to seaside city I decided to see some of these problems for myself. The order they sat this was going to be the biggest a football stadium in all aphasia it can hold up to 30000 people but it's all going to waste I'm standing in a band in football stadium the field in the middle is overgrown local farmers are drying their crops on the 2nd level where the concession stands should be this is loudly a man that was collecting trash I ask him about the empty street blocks around the state and. Empty. All of the peasants land from the village to build up. Garden City. Would be a mold a city just a ways to land. Some of it there are plenty tropical fruits. To go and was that one from Taiwan Oh yeah. That's. Local Chinese government's build new cities from scratch only after they build the whole thing are people supposed to move in the problem is that this doesn't always happen . Those towns aren't the most common result of Chinese urbanization but they do appear in my eyes it's main problem the entire city building process is top down only government officials have any real say. I make my way down to the temporary housing the place they put the original peasants who live here they just to come and tear down your house with our land we have nothing to eat it's to cover mend they give us a little one We don't know what their beauty but we know that their local government is getting rich Rumor has it they made out with billions of our m. B. But what can you do we don't really talk about our problems here no one dares to do it it's striking to me just how little power people here have to influence their cities how can you build a town with no input from the people who live and work in them you can say you're building a brand new city but it's not really going to happen until you have schools jobs real communities guaranteeing these things even the Chinese Communist Party can always do that but if the party can't do it. Could someone else. That's a Tariana source Rex screeching into my ear I'm in the central square of the new city farther to the northwest Normally this is where they would put a statue of Mao Zedong in this place they put a dinosaur an animatronic dinosaur. Welcome to seaside city an oasis in a desert a town where they say the free market brings happiness and development to the people I'm here to interview Chairman Juan the town's developer it would be the 1st time he ever spoke with a foreign reporter. Those a wanna see that it's mine yes my shopping center I'm in the chairman's minibus He's a relatively short guy speaks Chinese with a heavy accent from the local dialect he's wearing Playboy brand clothing from head to toe I say that I came from Denmark to interview him that I recently moved there after living in China for many years and they all thought of. How big is Denmark. What so smart us everyone only 5500000 is that into you here you are so you know that's I got. To ask. Both of. You takes a jar of chewing gum and pours about 30 pieces into my hand I put 2 in my mouth and pocket the rest your head goes a new out those Look at all these people if I didn't build this place they wouldn't be here. Chairman Wang built his town around a central shopping mall it's the Town Square the center of everything we walked through the courtyard leading up to one way to go just so wise and so would you know this about 100000 people who come in here every day 100000 people. Look at all the people isn't it pretty did I do a good job do you like the chairman approaches a random pedestrian get somebody out. How about the city do you like it or what do you think of the public sanitation I mean here. Now he's motioning towards the person's camera are you saying I can have money how I later you can take pictures of my dance so. He leads me into the shopping mall a row of people and stand by the door characters from Sponge Bob Square Pants and clowns writing unicycles rainbow colored train ride from one end of the massive mall to the other Lou Siegel in trickledown effect this is a place where you come to experience new things we have a dinosaur theme park a skating rink and every simulators helicopters before the movie. He seems to have unlimited energy with a huge smile on his face he's running around his shopping center making sure I take photos of all the attraction and how much they're going to know how I look at the trail over there is a great shot for your piece I really like unlike any other Chinese businessman I've ever met he isn't overly cautious he's saying what's on his mind he's being real. We hear a lot about the people who are transforming China into a superpower but when do we get a chance to really learn what makes them tick. Or that goes we should look at all of his people can you believe it is mine that it is my shop he sent to check out the trains of the day this is the city I built the one that has a. Deeper into the mall we arrive at the main event the crown jewel of seaside city being that we are the chairman's entourage he cut to the front of a long line what you shot. Was in Chicago let me in hey you let me in Come on I'm your boss's boss was a quite human out of that kind of. Whining I'd say and yeah. Let's put it this way we all assume this situation is an Indian province but now we aren't you know we have a c This is always c m gazing into an incredibly large aquarium scuba divers swim around whale sharks woman in mermaid suits gracefully waved to the crowd outside way up top a fleet of ships are taking Cuadra on boat rides to plaques hang on the wall signifying Guinness World Records I'm viewing this aquatic scene through the world's largest window. Hi I'm somewhat awkward she is she says city a large scale migration of aquatic life secrets is from America a train from the Philippines from every remote ocean in the world these creatures all migrated away to day ago she came to my city my seaside city chase she lowered the high pitched. Cavanagh Susu says this is the chairman asking dozens and dozens of times. I think his city is pitiful. Modern he told me repeatedly that his mission is to bring true happiness to the people. Of Israel are you. Crazy rushing for La riots all sure well. This isn't normal Chinese developers are supposed to put their heads down and build what the government says it's a direct way to make a lot of money but the chairman seems genuinely concerned with loftier goals he's challenging the entire paradigm of how private entrepreneurs are supposed to act in China how did he get here what drives him. The chairman was born in this area of China about 1500 kilometers away from the richer coastal provinces when market reforms freed up private enterprise in the early eighty's he didn't waste a 2nd his 1st venture was a popsicle factory soon he was building factories for other people to rent out that's when he had his idea. So in the beginning I just came here to build a factory and I didn't think about building a series but then I realized if I could build factories for enterprises new workers will places to live like places to entertain themselves so I bought all the land and decided to make something bigger than the us we're now at the chairman's office it's also something of a museum celebrating seaside city the 1st thing you see when you walk into its atrium is a black Cadillac displayed behind velvet ropes take a century or so what's a change so I hope this car is from when I drove into this area to buy the very 1st parcel of land I need to lend to build my factories I had come from Hong Kong and was driving this expensive car I was already really successful it was rare to see cars like this back then but I had learned so I was very proud of this car you're not really good fortune were ever I drove it people support it and why because this car tells other people how much you are worth is a symbol of your status. It's not just this way in China it's also this way in Denmark What if I take my present plans in Denmark perhaps the president of Denmark would push nearly missed me at the airport why is that is because and demonstrating to him that I can afford a private plane it proves to him that I have status is shows that I have the money to invest in Denmark and it would be easy to get the support of the local Danish government officials I mean if I did and this or that they found some funny question since it is a on the chairman's the kind of guy whose goal is to move the seat he pretty much only speaks in bold statements but still what he told me next it was bold can go in those own weight. Tennis is those machines in town quite a lot is a lot of people look at cities as places run by government officials a city is a place where we control people I don't agree she says city is also a city of what kind of city are we we are a city the system is the free market system the market and industry have naturally created this city here there are no government officials who are running the show so there are no government companies doing any planning You can't just build buildings and pave really white roads and call a city she says City is a humane city and if you China will have more cities like this one thank you so. A lot for the Pennsylvania House. But the chairman is saying is bold dangerous even modern China was established 70 years ago in a peasant rebellion against a powerful class of landlords the foundational authority of the Chinese Communist party is controlling and managing land chairman one is one of the 1st people in modern China to seriously challenge this this is China's 1st city where a private individual has the planning right. What emotions by the dream was always to create about one city which I also know was a little kid who asked Why can't I create a city so I did it. Stop the bus stop the bus and this show him this beautiful trees we put on the side of the road. Look how pretty the chairman's bus pulls into his wastewater treatment plant. You can take us to look at the water on this new duty smelly lifeless. Across the bridge from the dirty water to the area with the treated water a section of it is diverted into a pool with hundreds of court fish changing a fossil witnessed a miracle you assume it is a clean I assure him that I think it's very clean. And happiness to do. That makes me happy chairman Huang micro-manages everything in his town the utilities roads apartment buildings factories Citizen Service Center all run by him he even has a media department that runs a weekly show about the city. It goes without saying the chairman is the star of his new show this episode is about him receiving a prestigious award for creating China's 1st privatized city it recaps his victory speech quote the people of Seaside city succeed at whatever they choose to do we are united as one in our hand I honestly don't believe she did the idea. That the chairman brought happiness to the people of Seaside city it's something of a Gospel here I think he says it because he genuinely wants to do it but the people agreed that he made them happy I had to know so while I had my hands full with Chairman long my colleague Pung interviewed residents of seaside city on behalf of b.b.c. World Service. This is sure this is young he's in his eighty's he's lived through the time he's revolution remembers when the communists came through took the land from the landlords and gave it back to poor peasants like himself. Throughout his life he spent decades tilling the land under the supervision of the local Communist Party now he lives a few blocks away from a colony of well sharks and. Sings oh great here living standards are better now you know longer have to work under the sun in the fields all day long yeah it was hell before but you know you know I know it's Havard for you look at this guy across the street I miss making a living repairing bicycles by giving his land to seaside city you know house I'm older I'm shocked. When I have never met chairman Hahn but I saw him on t.v. He was talking about giving the shopping mall to his daughter and I was young but although I have never met him I receive his money every month $10.00 per month for 2 years for all the old timers all it was for our you know when I say he has extraordinary ability. There's a lot of people here who think like this but seaside city has a catch to build such a meticulously designed place chairman Wang needed complete control over everything this creates problems for people like Ms Lee that's a pseudonym it'll become clear in a moment why I'm using one. We balance our house here we assume that away would be the property owners but after buying it we didn't actually get the property rights this created so many problems for us schooling for our children access to government services so many products this just person said that we would get property rights when mislead by her home she thought she was buying exactly that home in China this means getting official property rights. But after the fact she learned that her contract was different than what she expected she was locked into renting a home from Chairman Hall for 60 years this city of 100000 people the factories apartments commercial space it's basically all rented from Chairman Hall It's how he has such tight control of the urban planning he's the town landlord. The High that. People buy houses so their kids can go to school but the kids can't go to school if we don't have property rights to a place in this area and I can sell off my lease to anyone else who would want to have plays that doesn't have property rights so many families are facing this problem don't believe anything that the chairman or one saves none of us believe they have in our apartment building one guy was sentenced to 29 months in jail for speaking out someone working at a shopping mall was also sentenced to 29 months in jail it's the truth. I followed up on this it seems that some angry residents had been arrested by the local government although some people say they knew what they were getting into There are many others here that are upset with the terms of their leases the official line from Chairman Wang is that he's currently working to help tenants like Miss Leigh gain access to public schools and services. This is Mr Pung another pseudonym he's one of the original peasants who live here he thinks that things would have been more fair if the government had taken his land rather than chairman why there's no way to voice your opinions your call and a call but no one of a big saw. What struck me about seaside city is that it did what many freedom loving people in the West have been. Suggesting China do for a long time government stepped out of the way but the free market run the show but the result it's a kingdom. Of course I've never spoke to the term I've seen him walking around surrounded by his entourage but how could a guy like me I will speak to and. It's so young when you talk with you know what. We're here I'm not chairman Wang's Burger King at the table next to me and the chairman was too young and Hildreth with their family runs over to their table sits down with the kids in the sun and back in his media team to film the conversation the parents and the children have no idea what's going on. My name is I'm the founder here I'm a member of the Chinese on that national group of esteem private businessmen the young boy nods politely back at the chairman have you been to Dubai Dubai has an aquarium like this but this much mileage in Alice there is only 30 minutes where you are was is 40 meters is only 8 meters tall I was is 9 meters you know it has the richest people in the wool but now the Chinese people have surpassed them so why is this foreigner here recording us is because we have even surprise Dubai we are the biggest red abbess we have our own ocean. How how this conversation felt important to me every single person we talked to here even people suffering obvious injustice they told us they're proud of seaside city such a modern city popping up in a hinterland province it actually does make people happy it's a symbol of the Chinese people rising up and restoring their dignity as a nation if you tell me this is the guy that complained earlier about things being unfair in seaside city we asked if he still thinks it was a good thing that Huang took his land the answer is yes he is the host this guy was collecting trash off the street barely making a living woman they were going to follow you I have put it how are you going to help he's saying that Chairman Wang gets a thumbs up from the peasants that China needs more people like him. He's impressed with the pretty shopping centers and amusement parks that it's all proof that China is developing into a strong country so that to me this all begs the question of how captive sea creatures swimming around Gucci outlets became a symbol of Chinese national revival but even though I don't quite understand the nationalism I know that these people's feelings are real Chairman why most of all. Or nimbleness today my dream has come through the Chinese dream is coming through is the dream of all the people the dream of us all and systems when we walk away from the kids chairman Hwang's excited let's go. Step for some great information you get it on camera we put it on the news where people will say look the boss said down and had an intimate conversation we kids. Will reach out Americans right I tell him that I think he's out. We're back on Chairman Wang's minibus wrapping up our tour of the city. And Mark is what kind of people if you wait people the entire day he's been fixated on Denmark the place where I was living at that time he keeps coming back to it again and again until finally I understand why you know so much so you thought it's so whole Actually let me tell you the biggest success if you visit here today it was in interviewing me this is the biggest thing you get is an opportunity but you need to go back to Denmark and should the government approve of this place. Big cities can bring jobs only can do it all for you this is a new model of city that will spread to the whole Wolf. So. You can be done let's build a city government would need to spend a penny this build it chairman she is not talking about the Gulf and go initiative Let's go to Denmark let's make the development of Denmark let's make the prettiest city in all of Denmark this city will belong to Denmark I can't possibly be the whole right I'll just for the Danish people help the government get more tax revenue.
