sugar and belgrade. hello and welcome to spotlight, a government shut down looms in the us as the democratic led senate and the house which is controlled by republicans remain at loggerheads on plans to fund federal agencies. the senate is pushing for a stop gap funding bill that would extend federal spending until november 17th, but house republicans are opposed to a... short-term funding expansion, they also

want deep spending cuts as well, the house of republicans have already passed several bills to fund parts of the government, that however would not stop a shutdown because there is no hope that the bills would pass in the senate, and the us government has started notifying of federal words that is shutdown uh is uh imminent. a government funding in the us ends early sunday, if congress fails to come up with the clear plan, federal agencies will run out of money and that would affect hundreds of thousands of workers halting a wide range of services. joining us on tonight spotlight, we have daniel plat, staff writer at executive intelligence review joining us from los angeles, and international from the international action center, sarah flouders joining us from new york, welcome to the program, to the both of you, let's start off with mr. platt in la, two days. the

government shut down with no signs of deal uh, does congress have path to avoid the shutdown? there is always a path, the question is whether the powers that be want that path to be used, there i think it is of important to remember that much of what goes on in the us congress is theater. there was a study that was conducted in 2014 by the prestigious american university princeton where they found that the united states is not in fact a democracy. oligarchy, it's a nation governed by a small group of of wealthy, business interests, financial interests and so on. the u.s. economy is in serious trouble, it's bankrupt, they are trying to preserve bubble of speculation, which we cannot be saved, and there's going to be lot of hardship for the american people, and this this government shut down provides a scape goat source where they can say every fine, biodinomics would be considered success if it were not for the government, down, so whether or not they

choose to to solve the problem is an open question, but there are ways to solve it. sarah flowers, how likely is it that there will be a shutdown come monday morning in the us? well, there have been many shutdowns in the past, and it's true, this is absolutely theater on the part of both republicans and democrats. it is to intentionally on the part of both parties, create hardships for working people, for hundreds. of thousands of federal government workers for pension and social security checks, for essential programs for everything from libraries to parks that get shut down, it of course never shuts down the us military, doesn't shut down any one of 800 military bases around the world or the aircraft carriers, the submarines stop their wars for one, but it does impact working people profound in the millions and the family. so that is who it's intended actually

to impact, do they care if they create hardships for working people? no, they don't at all, they'll actually save some money doing this, and that is what is the cruelest part of this theater. daniel, the american government's finances aren't in good shape, in august, us credit rating took a big hit, how big of a hit will a government shut down, deliver to the already. economy, it will be substantial, but again i think that this problem would exist, shut down or no shut down, and they do, look forward to blaming their failures on the shutdown. and question to you, miss flounders, about the fledging economy of the united states, our guest and la believes that the economy is in trouble with or without a show, the us economy is in deep trouble, the dollar no longer ranks.

that's a fact, the whole world knows it, dedollarization is fact, their ability to impose sanctions on the world is falling out from underneath them, countries have found ways to. and exchange directly with each other, that's enormously threating to us power and to the us economy, they have sanctions on 40 countries around the world, they can't impose them, if these countries are trading among themselves, that for sells disaster economy, for us corporate power, for us banking power, so yes there is real problems ahead, who are they going to shift it to, they're going to try to push it to working people. right here so they continue to make the profits, the super profits and uh people here pay the cost and people around the world also pay the cost of this total theft of resources, pumping it endlessly into war and never into people's needs. sarah

flounders, i'm going to stay with you for the next question, the democratic lead senate and that house, which is uh controlled by republicans uh, they remain at logger heads on plans to fund the federal agents. what are the main differences here? the senate is pushing for a stop gap funding bill that would extend federal spending until november 17th. house republicans are opposed to that short-term funding expansion. they also want deep spending cuts. what are these uh spending cuts? well, there's a lot of grand standing going on uh, and so the republicans may talk about uh war in ukraine and whether to keep funding it. uh, the military will. always receive its money, that's that's a fact and it's a given, so what they're really talking about is cutting out all kinds of programs which have been pretty essential in terms of infrastructure, education, health programs, that's what they want cut to the

bone, there isn't enough money for that, and so there's a push pull back and forth uh with democrats who would just as soon that some of these programs go by the way, but they want to be able to blame the republicans, so this whole thing about which deadline they're going to go with and whether it's extended or not, as i say, it it's it's really grand standing, it's theater. danielel platt, one the key issues at hand, is that some republican lawers, they do not want money to keep moving toward ukraine, a georgia congress woman has been quoted as saying, any defense containing ukraine funding is dead arrival. how deep is the division over ukraine here? well, i think the political opposition to funding is significant. i agree with miss flounders that the likelihood that they will cut funding is very slim, but they fear the sentiment in the american public. there was a poll conducted on august 4th by

cnn where they found that 55% of americans oppose sending more money to ukraine, and there were votes this morning in the congress on resolutions to cut. there were 100 congressmen that opposed the funding, they of course were outvoted, but that's still a significant number, there was also a vote on sending cluster, cluster munitions to ukraine, which frankly should be uncontroversial, most of the world denounces the use of cluster munitions as a war crime, there were 160 congressmen that voted to stop the clustermunitions, and this was about half and half democrats and republicans, which i think is so even though i think that the powers that be will ram through funding for ukraine, they fear that this fight over ukrainian funding will spark some kind of major resistance in the american population. right plat, how do the us get here and what

does it mean when the government shuts down? well, as you mentioned, it's shut down, shut down 22 times prior to this, it's becoming routine, and i think it is kind of mechanism for psychologically uh controlling the population uh to keep them to convince them that there's a huge difference between the two parties, which is largely illusory, or that it's important to fight over these tertiary issues rather than the big ones, which are the neoconservative drive for global war, which is absolutely a bipartisan effort, and also the continued desperate attempt to bail out the bubble of financial speculation, which cannot be safe. "there's never any debate over those issues uh until i say this business with ukraine is becoming something of a public fight, which is very useful. sarah flander, you mentioned earlier that there have been a number of uh government shutdowns, um, i came across an interesting question uh on the web by uh by

user which said "why is the government, us government always shutting down. why does the threat of a government shutdown loom almost every year? what can you tell us uh in that regard? well, it is part of this posturing that they're fighting each other, and it's really shadow boxing. it is completely staged, 22 times. it's a lot, it shows how many years this has gone on and on uh for and how it is every year, every time at least it gets resolved uh with some essential programs cut, some really important ones that have to do with social needs and at the same time, lot of speculation on in terms of who's making the money on this, but the war don't end, nor are they really cut, and ' i it is very true, this figure 55%, and that's at least of people who admit that they're

against anymore funding for the ukraine, so people in congress got to act like they're addressing that, but of course they're not, they will continue to fund the wars, they will continue to fund us threats and they will try to take it out of the population right here, uh, and and that is what this is about, it it's so it's so fra it's really hard to treat it seriously, because everyone knows they'll they'll arrive at some backroom deal, they'll cut the budget here and there, we'll find out that uh, this this social program, this medical programs cost of pharmaceuticals is no longer covered, you find that out long afterwards, it was all part of the barganing and haggling, and really none of it is, we're i'm talking to you from new york. we're in the midst of flash floods and subways shut down, just rainstorm because the infrastructure here is

so decayed, so crepid and there's no funding for it, so i'm here at home, unable to go anywhere because of the condition of the uh subways today, this is part of what is happening everywhere in the united states today, and it's happening in the schools, it's happening in senior centers and daycare centers uh, everywhere, the the programs are being dutted and nothing is being rebuilt. staying with you miss flounders on the issue, the last partial government shut down as you also looded to was in uh 2018 through 2019, that was um supposedly the longest in history lasting up to 34 days, there was one in october 2013 where the government shut down for 16 days after congress was unable to agree a budget for the new fiscal year, whether this is posturing or not, obviously um hundreds of thousands of federal workers, millions of people are affected by this, what

are the productions saying about this one, about the duration, about the severity in comparison to previous shutdowns? well, we should know what happened with the last shutdown, because in a country where the greatest number of workers live paycheck to paycheck, the idea of being more than a month without a paycheck and bills coming due and rent coming due and tuition for children and all kinds of things uh, these shutdowns create huge problem uh, the shutdowns for that long a time of of parks and highways and roads, all kinds of things, uh, it's an enormous um inconvenience, more than inconvenience, a real problem, a real life threatening problem in some situations. uh, so it's been done again and again, how long this one will last, we don't. programs like fema, they'll shut down, but as i say, the

wars don't shut down, and so just making those comparisons, i think is an important part of it, if if seniors don't get a social security check, that means hunger, so you know, these these shutdowns create real enormous and immediate difficulties, and that's part of the theater, both. claim they want to reach deal and it's problem of the other party. daniel plat, miss just uh mentioned interesting um a comment interesting notion that even if government shuts down the wars don't shut down. do you agree with that? absolutely, it's a bipartisan consensus. the people that say that we don't have bipartisanship in the united states just aren't paying attention. all right, and uh, daniel plat, the us government has already started notifying federal workers about this eminent shut. down with no deal in sight, millions of federal workers are in limbo. what services will be

rattled if deal is not reached in time? what's the impact for example on food assistance? uh, medical benefits, retirey benefits and etc. well, it will be substantial, and again, we've seen this happen before, we know what to expect, and uh, it showss a certain cous disregard for the welfare of the american people, the uh, the commitment to the... the global war agenda of the neoconservatives is iron clad and they're willing to sacrifice the well of the average citizen uh without hesitation. where is joe biden amits all of this? well, he's been uh kind of out to lunch for a long time. um, where is he, his party, maneuver, part of this whole theater, uh, and i, i have no idea what to say, because clearly he can't

resolve it. this is push pool that goes on between the house of. representatives of senate, one has one bill, one has another bill, obviously he could with executive authority keep any of these things still functioning, but of course he won't do that, he would rather put it on congress to thrash with each other uh than to in any way try to solve it, and that has also been the role of past presidents, they act like their hands are tied, and of course they they could pursue, they could... push through any of these programs if they so chose, but they don't choose to do that. daniel and the us president be more present during such a critical impass? ideally yes, but we don't really have a president in the normal sense the term. there was another poll conducted by cnn a couple of months back where they found that again a majority of american citizens

considered donald trump and joe biden both unfit for office. so you have to ask questions about a system which... enforces a rigged choice where people have to choose between two aging, decrepit and frankly incompetent individuals, you would think that at least someone in either party could emerge that is not a neocon that is not committed to the disastrous policy this country has been on frankly for several decades, but whenever someone like that tries to emerge, the media and the party apparatus join forces to suppress their campaigns. daniel plat uh a side note here, the gop led house oversight committee held its first hearing thursday morning on the impeachment inquiry of president joe biden, talk us through its relevance in in this point in time, well it's sort of become uh it's sort of like a junior high school environment where each party in turn tries to impeach the president of the

other, and it's frivous, it's again uh designed to create the appearance of huge battle. between the two parties, which is frankly uh, illusory. all right, and same question to miss flounders. uh, the uh gop, that house oversidety, they held their first, hearing thursday morning uh on the impeachment inquiry of the president, talk us through its relevance, right now, it's i it's kind of irrelevant, frankly uh, impeachment of one party. impeaching the other uh, it's another thing that goes on again and again, like like these government shutdowns, time after time, how many presidents have there been attempted impeachment, impeachment hearings, uh, you know, it's uh, really none this has to do with how the us government

functions on an international level and functions domestically here at home, it's not. what happens in washington is not what is happening to people's paychecks, which haven't increased in literally decades now, and haven't uh, we can look at the declining education levels at all those things, this theater of who's impeaching who and where the hearings are, it gets a lot of media, it's important in the election campaigns of certain politicians, they get in some quote. quotes, but uh, what it will amount to, i have, i don't see, all right, and uh, final question for both our guests, daniel plat, come sunday morning, what's your prediction, of the situation with regards to this whole uh government shutdown possibility? um, i'm really not willing to make a prition about

that, i'm not sure, there is a certain volatility here, and the opposition to the funding ukraine, i think is key flash point, it's very peculiar that the american media have taken the describing opposition to the war as a right-wing policy, and this is something which is sort of an allison wonderland sort of thing, because historically in the united states the left appear opposed, wars of aggression, they opposed the cold war, nowadays anyone who speaks out against this very dangerous proxy war in ukraine is branded a right winger, and indicates that there's a certain kind of desperation here to try to keep the public under control. they're afraid public a certain point is going to say, this is ridiculous, we're no longer going to accept the the quote unquote narrative that is being voiced upon us by. the corporate media. miss founders, i want to get your prediction as well as the final question for the program. well, i'm very much part of uh organizing

demonstrations, actions, protests around the country, from october 1 to october 8th, where we're planning demonstration here in new york, on sunday, october 1st, and it's targeting the media, their their role in war propaganda, and pushing these and in creating the stage there uh and there's a growing anger at the media and at the military, so i i think these actions around the country and the they're very much left and progressive and anti-w forces, there's more than 60 different actions in the coming week, i think that's important, they're not large, many of them, they're still a symbolic level, and yet they're speaking to the majority of population, against this. and against this enormous waste of resources, the time when human need is so great and where we have real problems of climate catastrophe, there should

be a war on that, and infrastructure problems of social needs, these are real problems facing it, the political parties aren't addressing it, and so people are beginning to address it on their own, with all kinds of community action, so you can actually see this at. peace.org (unac) peace.org for a listing of different actions, but i think it's just the beginning, it's a first step in organizing opposition to the wars, to cuts and demanding that money be spent for jobs and human needs right here, and not for endless war. okay, either. thanks lot. sarah flowers from the international center from new york and uh staff writer at executive intelligence review daniel plat joining us from los angeles, thank you for contributing to the program, also a special thanks to our viewers for staying with us on tonight spotlight. it's good night for now, see you next time. i'm lambertopic

سلام اسم من علی خادم حسینی هستش و من الان پروفسور توی دانشگاهی هستم در آمریکا و من تو ایران به دنیا اومدم تو تهران بعد از اینکه پیچی دی گرفتم من اونجا شروع کردم درس بدم توی دانشگاهه و اونجا ریسرچ کنم و اونجا توی دانشگاه هاربوردد و امتی بودم برای ۱۳ سال تا دو سال پیش و ۲ سال پیش من اومدم اینجا لونجلس توی دانشگاه. وقتی که من سال سوم دانشگاه توی مهندسی شیمی بودم توی تابستتونش یه ریسرچ اکسپیری داشتم توی

دانشگاه تورنتو که خیلی واسه من چشم کرد یه پروژه ای کار کردم که درباره این بودش که سلول های بدن رو بتونن بتونی یه جوری استفاده بکنیم واسه مرض قند این سلول ها رو یه جوری. موادی دورش بذاریم که این سلول ها رو وقتی توی بدن میذاریون سیستم آدم اینا را بهش حمله نکنن و و نکشنش. من به نظرم این خیلی کارستی بود چون که نه تنها که میشه این جور این جور تحقیقات رو بتونن یه جوری استفاده کرد که برای بیمارستان بشه استفاده کرده اینکه آدم ها بهتر بکنیم ولی حتی از طرف چیزهای... هندسیی که من خودم یاد گرفتم میتونه خیلی چیزایی که من تو دانشگاه یاد گرفتم میتونستم استفاده کنم و واسه همین خیلی برای من چیز لذت بخشی بود و یه چیزی بودش که من
