11:33 am
like the british parties down to the, there are, you will regulation to own a tiger than there are a tone, a dog how can this be happening? we take on us politics and, and that's the bottom line. ah, i have josh rushing, filling in for me. ok. and this week's bonus edition of the stream where you get a special look at the conversations we have with our guest. after the live show ends coming up, we'll take you behind the scenes to hear extra from this week's conversation about brazilian politics in the amazonian environmental crisis, as well as instagram live one of the founders of the women's march in the us. but 1st, let's go to el salvador in the live show, we debated whether the country's democracy is under threat after the broadcast ended. i shared this authoritarian checklist with our guest. some of the indicators of authoritarianism include muslim the media to eliminating political rivals,
11:34 am
expanding domestic surveillance and keeping the country in a perpetual state of war a revolution. and i wanted to know how many of these does el salvador check off. but my guess paul steiner took issue with the list itself. here's what he had to say. but whose recipe is this is from something it's a post more to i can actually pull up a science called post war to germany, but it's been accepted. it's kind of a general checklist for authoritarian bills, records, governments, you have set a set of rules like that and assume that everybody starts from when you, sorry, if it's true or not, checked most of the points. is it true or not? i had to go most or you can say yes or no check. most of these points. if he does right. he does love the starting point better than anybody else. that's his lawyer. no,
11:35 am
i mean having worked for both the right wing lawyer and left wing government, you more than anybody should be able to know that the judiciary is a real or i personally not fixed on the judges. the way i just was that way, like my paul finished and then i'll give you the mike. okay paul. say your bet and then we're going to go to her. we were 650 judges that have failed. the judiciary exam at least once, and 10 percent of them fail that every time they've taken it, we have a section in charge of supervising the judiciary and they don't, they've been shut down for years. even the section that's in charge of monitoring the lawyers has been shut down for years. and the whole thing about it is that the magistrates of the supreme court have been elected by political parties to suit
11:36 am
their financial providers. who are the people that they control. so nobody can argue that paul, let's see if what you just said is true. can anyone argue that jose would you argue with? well, i think paul is acknowledging that it is a government who, who is sacking the judges through the legislature of course. but i think this is an important recognition and acknowledgement that it is a government that is taking a 3rd of all of all judges out of mind that they're failing this traditional a test at the, just the judiciary. it's been a mess for years. and this is, this is an issue we suppose several to several forums and also media. and it's because we are very worried about judicial independence in particular because this law, which basically sacs any judge that is over 60 years of age, or 30 years of service or have so 30 years of service has absolutely no rational related to that. you don't want to be so
11:37 am
either way, way, way we listen to, you know, as i hear both paul was trying to argue that this, this is all done in the benefit of cleaning up your large but, but you have to remember that this move is preceded 1st, by the sacking of the constitutional court, you know, sort of other not only were they sac, but 5 person, 5 people were imposed as acting as acting justice is to, to the constitutional court. this basically means that the government, buccheri government controls the head of the judiciary. second step is now the sacking of a 3rd, a whole judges with absolutely no linkage to corruption in terms of policy objectives. why? why do i say this? because it only cuts clear in terms of age 9 in terms of merit 19 terms of possible corruption allegations 9 terms of performance. no, it's just
11:38 am
a clear cut in terms of let me take that back off. paul, are all these guys are failing? tests are those, the judges that are being removed or to just the judges that are over 60. ok, a is making a point about sacking the judges. what the, what the president has done is he has forced a space where he is established with the congress as established a law that says that when you reach 60 or 30 years of service, you come up for retirement and that it's an obligatory rate retirement unless the court, all 15 magistrates decide that you're valuable and you are going to stay. so they're not automatically set. the, the court has a complete way. those the magistrates you said there were no, by the hardest part in that i, i don't want to overstate this but, but pull it just said expressly word by word. the precedent has decided you see,
11:39 am
this is the wrong thing for the present. yeah, no, i understand, i understand it. i'm not even i'm not in a court room here. it will say no, i understand. and so i didn't make them start in the conversation. so you correct. i understand, i understand, but do you like your not acknowledge that this is a this isn't coming from the president himself. let me ask you 2 questions to answer that one. my question answered 1st, i have 3 questions report that you never answered. first of all, is there a mechanism for taking those judges out if they're bad? yes, they are. there is work well known as being worked as, as no, it hasn't worked as well as it should. but yeah, it has. what is the office in 20 years going mingling with the fact that your dish paul has a point is why the executive mingling the judiciary anyway and again,
11:40 am
you keep wanting the bad judges, but it doesn't seem like bad is one of the requirements were being removed from the bed just seems like age is a requirement. that's the only way to create a space for the supreme court to act and put the right people in the right place. look what we have here. very loyal judgments who will change? and the majority of the population is behind the progressives who want change. the problem is that once you've lost political power and you're starting to lose economic power, then you've got very little to lose. i'm sure the dinosaurs also screen really, really loud when the media again, i'm actually going to give you the last word there, paul. run out of time. john, you want to jump in just for a 2nd, then we got to cut this. yeah, no, it's just going to put that into the context we spoke to judge if there was the most of the week we're salvatore. and she also has it been corruption in the judiciary and all of them that has been corruption in the judiciary. what they were
11:41 am
all dealing with is the way in which they would be taken out. those are the 60 were going to be forcibly retard. now pool on the one hand here is saying, well that's the only way because the mechanisms to get them out working. on the other hand, they were saying there has to be some sort of protocol apart from age of ways. this is just completely branded. so i think, you know, why is the president not establishing ways to get out the non just late with the fact i want to share with you now few moments our instagram live series. earlier this week i spoke with sarah sophie flicker, an artist activist, and organizer of the women's march. we spoke about the latest attack on women's reproductive rights in texas, as well as the ways that art and storytelling play critical role in activism. i'm also as fire by artist and curious about what drives of creativity. so i asked
11:42 am
sarah where she finds her muse. for me, it's always been really about like things that i want to change in the world or things that theme, patently unfair or, and horrible. and you know, i do feel like we often like we often discount culture and it's power. and i think a lot of times policy is downstream from culture. and oh, you know, it's like the women's march for example is complicated and there are issues with it and i did many issues with anyone else. but when i found out that they were organizing around, you know, reproduce justice and abortion on october. second, i was in because i understand that like, you know, even with the supreme court, we are now stuck with an activist, very biased majority in the supreme court. and if millions and millions and
11:43 am
millions of people are out marching on october 2nd and saying like this is not going to apply with that. they hear that, you know, and that affects the decisions that they can and can't get away with or what they perceive. they can and can't get away with, you know, i, you know, i also think abortion especially, but, but really like anything you know, racial justice, any of it there is a, you know, the right has done a very good job of like sort of encapsulating it in the morality, the morality or family values or whatever. and, and i think that with stuff like this, like they don't get to own that stuff. you know what i mean? like we, i, i am the most family already. i imagine you are you, we are the most family oriented people like so just creating art and creating
11:44 am
content and creating tv shows, movies, music, sports, whatever, you know, whatever it is, radio stuff that normalizes. how we think about all this stuff is really powerful. you know, and while we may be getting this country, as we all know is divided has been divided historically. and now, you know, at this point we're getting 2 separate sets of news. even right. like the fact that one sided getting are totally different in the back. another cited getting but the thing that, and you can like turn off fox news or m. s nbc or cnn, whatever. but people don't turn off the radio, they don't go to sports game. i'm so out of sports, sports games, i know that's not a thing, but you know, they go to the sports game much you know, but they all the things that like we look at and hear and smell and touch and see
11:45 am
everyday like that influences how we think about politics and each other and each other humanity. and i think it's really hard to have someone whose story, you know. so i'm just really a fan of like storytelling and using you know, art and theater and the after colds. you know, beckles to make statements, you know, similar to what you did on the red carpet on monday was address tax, the rich. yeah. your friend made that dress and my wife just shipping with id live with the woman who made that dress for a meeting and brilliant and smart and like a beautiful fighter in all things good in that we care about. she's wonderful. but i thought that was really powerful and i know that some people didn't like it, but i, you know, whatever,
11:46 am
you go on to twitter and everyone's talking about and taxing the rich and people are googling. what does that mean? you know, what do they mean by rich? you know, it's not a national conversation. that, that's something that policy can't do. you know, so i do believe in cultural organizing, i do believe in like those kinds of direct actions. i believe in beauty, i believe in art. you know, the courses tagline is from poem by tori derick pot and, and it is joy is an active resistance. and i have always held that really close to my heart because the whole point of all this stuff is to keep us divided and in fear and out of community. and 2 scared kid stand up for ourselves. so, you know, no one is meant to fight all the time. you know, there's gotta be joy in there. and if you look at any, you know, marginalized has been fighting for their survival over generations,
11:47 am
like there has to be join in there. so i think art is like critical in these moments. if you look at the history of the abortion, it's so interesting that you know, a lot of, you know, push back on abortion originally came from people who owned in, you know, inflamed people and would get mad when a black woman cause herself to miscarry or whatever have an abortion actually because it was attached to like how profitable that baby was. so there's all sorts of like awful, awful, you know, when you get deep into it, it's like all of the hoopla around abortion has as much to do with
11:48 am
race and control. and power and money as it does with women and gender, you know, so it's all, it's all of the things. is there a definitive book on abortion that gets into the history of it that you'd recommend? yeah. although there's not like one that i can like. i know always whoa, who is the president and a role wrote a really great one last year. there's a great article in today's new york times that really get into the way in which the right wing are right. when goes over time from like the 70s to now really weaponized abortion as a way to like create you know, right wing coalition and you know, the origin story of all that really comes back to like school segregation,
11:49 am
which i think most people don't know. so, you know, it's why i really love like, look into reproductive or just reproductive justice organizations like this or song that are all you know, black lead and tend to do a really amazing job of connecting all the dots between this stuff. so you see the ways in which like, what's happening in texas right now, isn't just about abortion. it's also what is the point, for example, having the right to choose to have or not have a child. if you can't ultimately like read that child without the threat of like state violence or poverty or rated them or you know, draconian immigration laws, like whatever it is, it's like all these things are connected. and i think that the more quickly we all
11:50 am
learn to, to see the ways in which all these things are connected. we can be in better community with each other. we can you better allies to each other and, you know, and that being that, you know, it's slowly starting to happen, which, which i take heart in is, you know, that people are starting to realize like, let the people most impacted tell their stories. let them lead on the issues the people closest to the pain are always closes to the solution. and sometimes like, for those of us, you have a lot of privilege and resources. the best thing we can do is just like show up and listen. finally, another interview this week there was so good, we had to keep it going. it was not brazil and the amazon rain forest. rapid deforestation has many concern that the ecosystem is at a tipping point with potentially catastrophic effects. not just for the indigenous groups there,
11:51 am
but for the whole world because of climate change. after the broadcast, i ask are guess what kind of pressure resilient president, air bus and narrow responds to pretty direct in their answers. impeachment and i don't. i don't think we having a president that actually have a project for the country. so he has a project to, to stay in, in, in the, in, in charge. and, and i think it, i mean, i'm sitting in the country with the president twice last administration and it didn't make any difference. so i'm not sure present to answer either. i think, for, i think very clearly to intern the internal economic interests. so the agribusiness is very heavy, it was very heavy on funding his campaign. so i think he, we response to that kind of to that kind of pressure. he wants to put brazil back
11:52 am
on the economic mack, a map of the world. and he knows that, that comes from producing more exporting, more, even if it, if it's at the cost of the amazon where we go, i don't think, i don't think it's real. you know? i think this is like news when he reacts to something. because actually we see him, he reacting ram, he's family, he's song are being investigated when he see a threat against his family. you know, and i think the only way is to get him out of the power is to do what the americans did. you know, not re electing the problem well, is it all on both scenario though? was it was lula any better? has a, has brazilian have been any better under other administrations? i guess there is a difference between both scenario and any other governor president that took place in brazil, which is having a project of destroying this institution. he has
11:53 am
a man to democratic a plan, a strategy, you know. so you, you can disagree with with, and i'll be here with many other presidents brazil head. but all of them had a project, had a plan to, to develop the country to develop the economy and both. so now we can see that in both on our he wants to this try what, what we, what exists. and it's very clear. if you look at a last year, we had a document about that were published from the internal auditing from the, from the only government and trying to assess the and the implementation of the environment or policy and the own people from the
11:54 am
government said, well, we cannot access the implementation of the environment or policy because there was no strategy for planning. there was no planning at all in the environmental ministry. so there is a clear and speech again, flores against english and people against yelling at some point saying that we need to change a low and everything. ringback but there is no thing to, to, to, for improvement or much less before. and just to give an example, he's ruling against the constitution in many ways, in, in health, in education and environment, and cultural policies in all the policies that you might may imagine. where's the supreme court understood? yes, there are many processes going on but. 9 some brazilian papers has published,
11:55 am
i guess international media has been following this for many years. the number of crimes against the constitution that we say crimes of responsibility in brazil and there are no excuse for not shooting him. so it's like alicia was saying the beginning of the show, it's a matter of political will. and when is his administration up for reelection? both allows administration. yeah. one of the re election next year 2020 to next year, next year, next year. and how is he doing in the polls there? not that not good. it not. all right, good. he's rejection levels are higher than ever. but he's he, he's doing policy,
11:56 am
distributing budget. but did that should go to, to health care, to education and to, to social assistance to, to parliament carries like he's keeping things happening power by doing the political movement that was able to sustain him for more than 30 years. and you're dealing with this information there on this issue also, right? so i think it's important to, to also as stress that was in, in democracy is very and you, so we have a touch of democracy. and it's important to understand that. but because we are know, in a very different situation in terms of social media and how the information is flowing and they can use being disseminated. and this is actually
11:57 am
having an impact on the debate. thank. you know, i was just in a, in a cab today and a guy and just name to me that could be 19, doesn't exist, and people and the government get paid for that. and it's in the month of russell it. so colon actually could be 19 isn't the way that diverse asian is also an invasion. so that's why we need to, we all the people that are talking about different stations. we always have very strong data and we always need to be very sure of the information that we we assuming anything in the 5 in that kind of losing the
11:58 am
narrative with those 25 percent as possible. so now, well that's our show for today. thanks for watching and we'll see you next time. ah, it was meant to be there. do you see the cameras? why not quickly put a project attack stunned the world and the u. s. president, a guy came in and whispered something into the prejudiced ear. what did he tell fatal for the school children present? the events of september, the 11th defined the world. they grew up in just a huge moment. these are their stories. $911.00 witness on al jazeera, known to the innovation and ingenuity. the africa girls who had bought ex team have competed around the globe, or foreign port is about solving the communities and our community problem. and i'm
11:59 am
so interested to in the future, to my people and help my people all day will take us about what they want for the future as a country transitions and the future is uncertain. it can be overwhelming. the afghan girl turbotax team, so they continue their education here and cut the foundation. the future is enough of the taliban has promised they would respect women's rights, which was the norms. despite the assurances from us can see the talents gains as dangerous women from the progress will be in peril. are disappearing on reform and to work towards a post to future. for women and girls, al jazeera recounts the shocking story of the assassination of counts full cabana dot. the 1st un envoy trying to bring peace to the middle east. how is negotiations with himmler help save thousands of jews from nazi concentration camps and how
