and and he's a candidate for the senate in the upcoming federal election. he has played a key role in helping reshape one nation's firearms policy. we have a policy in life it's a twenty one point plan to make things better for registered shooters want to. sound sensible common sense we're on your saw and we want you to be all the shooting the best that you can. in an interview for the gun rights astray your website the one nation party leader said today's gun laws make the innocent more phone rable only just take natalie dancing to fatten shouldn't pay for open air actually allowing for most to actually have the firearms. for years pauline hanson has been pushing a populist anti immigration agenda. i believe we are in danger of being swamped by asians and with all the. good publicity stunts including wearing

a burka to poem that have led to accusations of racism because this is not. what should be alone in this comment. everyone male and female should have some knowledge of have a handle a firearm have to protect themselves because i don't trust our governments fail to do for us. what can we say here that would probably translate their we say that the right to protect and defend yourself is a god given right. the one nation visitors a being schooled in public relations by the n.r.a. is media liaison team. just for in morton's an office an argument for gun ownership that can be used beyond the united states the right to protect and defend yourself exactly now despite hostage video doesn't come from the constitutes

deterrence just guarantees us but it can to god. if your it person has so you see it as a lie it's a god given right. one of the p.r. team's biggest challenges is how to respond to a mass killing. the biggest one in recent years was the newtown shooting where the little children that shot at an elementary school. there's somebody shooting in here and you know. i had like seven loud booms and jim he just told us to go in the corner. where your her. children are pronounced dead at the school there were two they were transported to area hospitals were pronounced dead at area hospitals. where people are now asking when there will be a debate about america's gun laws. the press was how he and how nice this

organization for star hope he made a statement like comment may be coming to far right that's what the end and the organization what they'll be debate they'll be delayed the n.r.a. will say this is not the time to talk about it of the twenty six promoted at the sandy hook elementary school twenty with children aged six and seven. the gunman used an fifteen assault rifle near the chechen anybody who went on the ground mr martin has closed the door and he went to the corner first graders. and no time. every time i think about those kids he gets me mad. and then decisions like responding on this kind of shooting are happening at the very highest level and they were not responding not responding. whilst some of tried to exploit tragedy for political gain. we have remained respectively

silent. and then when you are here held a news conference in which he basically said we're holding pla we're not going to cave man. now we must speak. for the safety of our nation's children. allah titian's passed laws for gun free school zones they post signs advertising. and in doing so. they tell every insane killer in america. that schools are the safest place to inflict maximum am with minimal risk. however nation's priorities gotten so far out of order. our society is popular. aided. by an unknown number of genuine monsters.

people that are so doraine so evil so possessed by voices and driven by demons that no sane person can ever possibly comprehend. when we're not here to that press conference i thought they're going to come out and say this is a mental health problem and the n.r.a. recognizes that and we are going to put in a hundred million dollars into mental health research and supporting mental health services to the wrong people don't get guns. we need to have every single school in america a media lawyer protection program proven to war and by that. i mean armed security more guns more guns more guns ching ching ching ching ching say you can say it's not if it's so sick. because people die.

and already reacts to criticism by trying to generate positive stories about come under should it till one nation that the first step is to co-opt willing reporter. you know somebody who maybe at least your son i worked at a newspaper maybe was over in city hall or fired for her. last dose side advises feeding reporters information they need to write junk friendly stories. you'll hear not stories about people who were robbed at the beach eat whatever might be that good bit about how they got it done and that's going to be able to words and that's where his daughter is going to go to buy a loop. to make sure you set up let's carry a pro-gun message. to ghostwrite articles for them. will pinch guest columns in the local papers a lot of times we'll buy them for like

a local sheriff in wisconsin or whatever and we'll draft and or she will help us draft it we'll do a lot of the leg work because these people are busy and this is our job so we'll help them and then they'll submit it with their name on it so that it looks organic you know that it's coming that you know that we will have a role behind the scenes. and i think it will be fine it's been validated to me this is for many years is the arms in a sense stories he's a are our members might send us a newsletter from their local t.v. station where it stands and uses a firearm protect themselves or something else. we start crediting a vigilant gun owner with saving the life of an upper darby cop and if it wasn't for the good samaritan stepping forward he'd have been dead meat. he's our little storage and there's sort of little. snice zero one cashier at

a local convenience store i was fire on like protecting style. these stories happen every single week and you'll never hear about them from gun grabbers when you see these stories sheriff. those are good because they're short and they kind of get you outraged calling it outrage of the week. exploring. we have after getting our import to astronomer we coming into their house by the pool that's there every time there's a story there about the everton games coming up with baseball this thing which you put out there maybe a tweet or facebook voters or whatever are not allowed to own their own not on the phone they're holding both sides save lives gun control does not that's despicable in the same way to back going to street told you you're not going to get

cancer if you smoke my cigarettes they lied to you and we know they lied to you. and you want to quit messaging out there don't you people out getting mad easy that here stand the n.r.a. till one nation to engage members with a simple message exploit anger and fear when you start talking about issues that get too complicated and think too hard i lost their lives and if they can get to like the american five of my thoughts we all get out but that's easy. this threat is real our leaders are either in cheap or unwilling to protect you there is no better fire on the from their homes against realistic threats than a ar fifteen semiautomatic it's easy to learn and easy to use it's accurate interim why. why can some they are fifty.

you can't legally own a tank in america you can't legally own r.p.g. you can't legally own a nuclear weapon why do we have restrictions on. we can never say well it's ludicrous we never say it's a government all right it's a right all. fire ok thing is that. it's dangerous but it. well you look at a lot. polls. or people drowning pools. and they are fifty is one of the most effective tools available to protect yourself and your family get trained and learn how to use it your safety is in your hands. that they are fifteen is the weapon of choice for a mass shooter and that weapon should not be on the streets of this country. the same weapon used next to pursue use next to a tank next to r.p.g.

in war m sixteen a r fifteen the same weapon one can shoot faster with the trigger held down when you've got to pull one hundred times in a minute the bullets the same the damage the same the brazed a blow out is the same the heart that explodes the same the bullet hits it the organs that separate are the same. let's look at the gun still. there and don't. call him a minute ago and. dixon till's a salesman that semiautomatic weapons including the fifteen were confiscated in a strange year following the port arthur mexico. where they bought it all on our own thought a lot of it for. that matter out there on.

a problem. where you can get a yeah. they are not. and if you fifteen hundred dollar ahead gathering dixon and ashby mixed with some of washington's most powerful gun lobbyists. and the honest if you know more people talk about god alive and go if you want to be done stand together we bought one for your question and. your man dixon is now clear on the language that cuts through in america's wealthy pro-gun community. and is better than that that we don't have the second amendment an act not. with that but about at it. as they

speak as election is just months away. dixon tells roger that if one nation wins the balance of power it would be like the party holding a gun to the strain in government and. he need to understand about health care is the headline i'm not going to the back of it that's worth it i want you so i want something you give. to them that i get it but it's like. the government would then be compelled to pass laws that one nation wants. the bottom one where we are we've got all the political right through my company. that we don't have that. we don't attach well. members of the gun lobby offered to help stop it we've made sure that you never want to know. i'd never want you to go down you know if you never why you

rapping walk over into somebody you know you know i'm merely for this is my life you got to go by i'm still i believe that yeah they're. going to hear. i want to believe that you know so i want you to know for you that you know i don't personally when i have to write a check. it never wants i'll give you a hundred bucks back out no. dixon issues those around him that you will do what they want and change the strain was going to stop them. or you know. oh no we don't i don't care you know. we're out. dixon is given advice on how to pave the way for those changes here's what you need to do this doesn't go anywhere except up get help from us gun manufacturers. have you ever gone to america have you ever gone to your it was ok if you need to

sit down with this guy out you know he suggests that one nation till gunmakers the amount of money they'll make if a stray use firearms laws are changed. next year they're going to send literally your next door to one and a golf ball is what the father who thought so although we're really the first to go off they would. remove it if it got much in all those people are going to give you fifteen for anything and. to make good on those present a bill he suggests a degree of deception. at that point the lawyer and i have a two million dollars campaign to get money in here she writes not yet writes you're never going to put gun rights do not ever touch gun rights on your oath and second out may your i say brought out in fishing rights we're going to get there. you're going to pass it and you go how could i want to go. along you know what you

just said to me all my life. you're good man you've got going to i read might. want to. i can go absolutely to one nation announces it has a meeting lined up that week with for interesting to observe the energy giant coat industries. go to our get out of the body a group or even blog it came. up with they discuss what koch industries might expect in return for a donation. who we don't imprison or do so while they go to war you heard it out. can you do. me to just about anything where you know. if you look up the cut brothers will i believe will that up believe that all of.

the dove i have a knife the shell of which come here i find. it doesn't seem to end up with five hundred million dollars toward another q i mean if he really was going to win the lottery and the gone from forty five people to each but if we get to the point where we can talk about figures what sort of number. i'm thinking ten not obviously one. if it's are. within the. inside the cook offices dixon and ashby suspect that he microphones may be used by their hosts to record the discussion they give raja would if it follows that he shall have and if you're wrong david really don't know i'm. a bit.

special. they know you and i give you good kind. of another regiment. up here we made a record triple the meeting with the team led by catherine hackett to rick to river federal affairs a coach industries. and a full month employee of the n.r.a. . in his speech the money dixon makes a remarkable author one of the electoral process in a strange if industries gets the money. watch and help us get out yet it got tough on women in china and hard wired. we are the wheel of momentum of senator orrin hatch and she. was pushing all of you for that person. you agree with by. waiting.

to happen not for mayor but your election i mean. rules regulation so i don't knock your mayoral straaten sort. with culturally how that's viewed what sort of money you're allowed to pay. how we understand that there are no set limits on. purpose or not not what there is reporting russia anything out of ten thousand dollars in a federal election must be rewarded that's recorded on the website bus by the public up with ok. i think that i'd say it's money should not have an influence in our pledge the same as well so i believe fined and i should should be stopped tried playing. ten weeks out to the one nation meeting with koch industries these trillion sinnott change

the move and ban foreign political donation. center to henson voted in favor of the ban. this not being organized sation said tonight to one nation i can assure you that it's been the hard work of having efficient ship meetings so we actually have something seasonals. i will all and why are. you intentionally there's interest and you and there's some other folks. with the prospect of a food the meeting dixon leaves feeling upbeat. they'll . shut you off. on this. the following day the delegation discusses roger's role in pushing for changes to the bill. done in iraq you were.

told don't go to the front that's a clearly points to something we've got. one. they would through the challenges one nation would face if the gun lobby comes through with funding. channeling that cash through rogers group gun rights astray would be a problem. it's more expensive not that. it is good for the electorate coming your. way. but rather it's coming right but koch industries could provide a more sophisticated option. to trigger the very worst over the other one third this. really has served. that to all of.

what's getting. the koch empire includes a sort of byzantine set of groups that have been set up to influence politics and to spend money on politics but without having to disclose where the money is coming from and the koch brothers were really pioneers in this area and have set up the very complicated networks for money to get into the political system you'll. know there's not much to work it's that it was good. but not really. i've heard it described as a daisy chain. with one group giving to another group to another group. and sort of multiple layers of anonymity for the donors. and always circulating the money so that the law isn't here too technically but that's perhaps

the letter of the law not the spirit of the law. as the wounds broncho to be careful when he communicates about the one nation trip to washington. and the erotic. words of truck rice used instead. and see just what ought to be any where it's. just specific is that since it's over. he's worried about america's experience with foreign meddling in elections. all i'm saying that. russia is. now in the same spot is on the. soapbox stuff for yourself a lot of ashby doesn't want to stray you join a lists to find out why he and dixon have come to washington. everybody who i've thought of that way this is seated on the edge i think they are but.

as the trip to washington comes to a close contacted by his party leader colin henson he says the trip has been so sensitive that he's careful in passing on information. to be able to get. there. maybe. something like did they get a number. as he has a message for keeping some communication secret i always been a model it would be. good for a game of the newbie iraq. i thought. every hour made by. something that you want to go. out there for your. get on. board.

they may be keeping a low profile but dixon appears pleased with one nation's progress in washington. d.c. it's the big. i don't know i think we've already lit the fuse on dollars for that belief that. he believes that money will eventually make its way to one nation would let the fears limit lobby for the life of their beloved does nothing real limits the consent of those people to die yesterday i saw at the buckcherry whatever amends. and i'm ready for it and maybe a bit of this is something you took. on this two. losses show us. you don't need to bring. you lost a forward. there are other people on this planet. we can't.

back up. you can all you want and specially all of you can all. everybody to march because there are some people that have got up right there robbers i want to play the night. as the one nation team prepares to leave washington ashby's final words to roger we're about the media. come. about coming up on. the budget which. three months after the one nation delegation returned to australia sen pulling hanson joined roger and ashby for a private dinner. so a little boys. with the boys i did a good job is that it's just me that's. a discussion on gun laws

she told brought to she believes many questions remain unanswered about the port arthur massacre. being said maybe it's out there but actually it's the commands are against us and here turns. out. that that was i don't know who it was set up. on its very own stupid things i know right now and will see where i was ok for now i'm. here. on. the senators said she wouldn't hesitate to use a gun herself if she needed to. if i had so much unanswered my house trying to get me i'm telling. i think. i think senator hanson revealed why she had no trouble with ashby and dixon's when

they visited the u.s. looking for the gun lobby money i'm like oh my god they're going to answer me to their cunts fear and tunnel is a very strict there aren't is not it is not. like that i have collection type the same sorts i am i have to correctly let's jump up and get my life in an age. that converts. everything that the sin is the biggest threat against the now good worker and that's what was on the start of that concern and. the dinner took place just weeks after the astray and senate banned political parties from receiving foreign donations and we got a nice room and. was born five nice house and i. was fired for its. spots it would suck us always to

get water no doubt. despite the new door ashby plans a return visit to america to reconnect with the pro-gun lobby this time he'll take pulling henson with him yeah i'm good at. it and i know. why they think i'm. a great leader caught here because we.

egypt's strongman is ruling within a fire and faced and the silence from his allies is deafening the u.s. was perfectly happy to trade off the march for sea for security while western media is turning a blind eye when even their citizens have fallen victim to his repression executions torture or censorship is not acceptable and you want to hear such strong words from let's say berlin or paris or london man in cairo on al-jazeera. hello once again i'm afraid we have yet more right in the forecast for iran over the next few days or so into the weekend for the here and now is largely dry and settles some of these dams in iran around ninety five percent full or more we need
