get ready for a lesson in protesting students in canada are cutting class until the government slashes their tuition interest rates but they're still only paying a fraction of what americans to pay so it was a time for pupils here to learn to use their street smarts to advocate change. you're not yet ready to say i'm an endorser but you will at some well as as the line says of the wizard of oz all in good time my pretty it will help republicans are rallying around mitt romney albeit reluctantly but hold on one candidate does have a big following and a growing number of delegates to tell you why ron paul is still a serious contender in the race. plus this looks like your average

a five star hotel but it will soon be the setting of a very secret meeting of the minds and the decisions made here quite affects people everywhere so what's with all the builder burge secrecy i'll tell you what we can about this who's who of the rich and powerful. it's monday april thirtieth four pm in washington d.c. i'm christine for you're watching our t.v. well today marks day seventy seven of a student strike in quebec canada and their anger over the last week or so has turned a loud and in some cases violent. or is it is a pictures from last week when the protests really started heating up students there are angry over plans to raise school fees as part of

a government effort to get the budget deficit there under control on friday quebec's premiers on made an offer to the students in an attempt to try to reach a compromise he said the three hundred twenty five dollars per year increase over five years could instead be spread out over seven years he also said more loans would be made available to students and offered a plan to make the repayment of loans after college proportional to income but it's clear students their. two students are that this is not simply about a number what this signifies is a shift in ideology of education for decades they're being seen as a public good worth funding and supporting all students have rejected that package and of called the offer insulting so what's next for the protesters who are now numbering in the hundreds of thousands well let's talk now to citizen journalist bernard a gun yes in quebec where there were no what's the plan here i mean what are these students asking for. well basically they're asking for

a negotiation and negotiations are not taking place right now. the students even proposed mediation and the minister answered the minister of education answered that she wants to students' first to vote on her proposal for that you just described and she's asking actually for a secret ballots so she keeps. asking having some requests best this if it requests for students but one student dimension on the very popular t.v. show on the weekend the minister's own party the liberal party when they have assemblies they have votes by show of hands so the minister is just trying to play the teacher here and trying to teach students a lesson in democracy and i don't think she's in a very good position to teach them democracy right now and right now those things are voting and. show it looks like they're not going to be accept the minister's

proposals yeah like i said a lot of them even call that insulting and looking at these pictures here are not i mean this is a very big protest you have the majority of quebec students saying you know the least finish their semesters but more than one hundred thousand are refusing to attend their classes but you know here in the u.s. and it's a little mind boggling to a lot of people three hundred twenty five dollars a year most students here wouldn't even notice that kind of increase talk a little bit about what the bigger picture as for the students yes the bigger picture is that all those protests of cure amid vast allegations of corruption and mismanagement by the government so what the students are saying is that before charging the students more to attend university the government should story putting its own house in order and what i can give you a couple examples of that to the. i was just last week on c.b.c.

which is the can even broadcast broadcasting corporation that was. reported there was a report about mismanagement that led to overspending by four hundred thousand dollars in a very small project and that was an example of what the government is doing and mismanaging universe. money in university now is a project for universities and so the students are saying is that there is a lot of overspending in universities. people in the directors of the university are paying huge salaries and it seems i think this is not acceptable another example would be that the government around two thousand and three when it came in power. some of hydro can back hydro come back is a state owned corporation that produces electricity and come back at

a very very advantages rate and for citizens and for companies who for example make aluminum and that company sold it for diary and that meant that means right now that about thirty billion dollars not thirty billion dollars thirty billion barrels which is three thousand billion dollars worth of oil. slipped from the hands of the of the public company and will be basically making people who are already rich even richer and so students are saying if if before we start having to pay more for three shouldn't we should start by recovering the money that should be the public's money that's very interesting i'm not i'm wondering i mean we're looking at pictures right now of just so many people in the streets thousands of people waiting i mean is it

possible that this violence that the driving will actually spill across the border . oh no first of all the violence has been in combat. the students have been very diligent as i mentioned earlier they were on the very popular talk show over the weekend actually the most popular talk show of the french t.v. network of the c.b.c. they are scoring a lot of points in the public opinion they don't need to be violent we have a very good website where you can see videos where the explain it's all in french but explain why why they are asking what they're asking about the same questions you just asked me and so they don't need to be violent at all and they are not basically. the police first of all and from a small group of protesters who probably were provoked provoked. agents just used by we've seen that in the band just used by the police to turn things

into a nightmare and i know we just heard the call back the liberal party has decided to move the location of its scheduled general council meeting that was going to take place this week and they're moving it out of town and when you think of party leaders are concerned about. well because the problem is that the facts will not go away if you can you can fool lee's good students you can send police in the streets to feed of. peaceful protesters but you won't make the facts disappear and as i said this these protests take place immediately vast allegations of corruption that have been taking place those we've heard those allegations for years and years now and so the whole population of tibet knows that the government is corrupt and is managed just managing the system basically and so even if it starts saying it was the students you have are sure for votes or not this is

all unimportant to the population that operation knows the facts more and more so i think the government wants to escape to quiet locations because they don't want to have questions as to who really does appreciate your insight there from comebacks and you're front and center there to all the action happening citizen journalist bernard take on yeah i appreciate it my pleasure well now to politics here in our own country let's take a look at the narrowing presidential field as we get ready to head into the month of may which means just about six months left before the two thousand and twelve election all right the rest are at santorum is out now gingrich is scheduled to back out this week so that just leaves two men mitt romney and ron paul and i think it's fair to say they were split public an establishment viewpoint as of today can be summed up pretty simply and i'll give the honors to president george h.w. bush or daddy bush i do think for party get behind governor romney

and he reminded me kenny rogers showing as time went on limit time went to boulder well i think it's time for people to get on get behind this good man. all right but not everyone thinks it's time to fold them we want to show you some numbers that are emerging in terms of delegate count and i should say these numbers are a little fluid but here's a look total delegate count on that road to getting one thousand one hundred forty four now the total right now for romney eight hundred forty seven ron paul has eighty and now the other guys are no longer running we do want to compare and contrast some of what else we're seeing in iowa both men have seven delegates in minnesota mitt romney has two ron paul has nine in north dakota mitt romney has seven delegates and ron paul has eight and in maine romney has eleven and ron paul has nine so these are some different numbers than you see probably in the mainstream media and i spoke a short while ago with ron paul supporter isabel gonzales president of youth for

ron paul university of texas at el paso and i asked her what she thought about these numbers. well i believe that there is no way to actually tell how many delegates mitt romney has versus ron paul because santorum just got out or suspended his campaign few weeks ago and gingrich has just done the same so a lot of the delegates depending on whether they're from down here and down state they get to choose if they're from one downstate and a lot of those from what we can tell and going to ron paul so it's a matter of. if we can't really tell but it's definitely something that looks good for ron paul at this point so you think despite the very large number of overall delegates were delegates received up to this point that there still is a chance that there still is a chance that these numbers will tell

a much different story in a couple weeks. well it could very well be that i. i believe good numbers that they've been showing on c.n.n. are like eight hundred for mitt romney. ron paul have a lot more than what they're showing which is about seventy nine last time i checked i believe i just think that. for instance i'm in texas and we haven't even had our state convention i was chosen to go be a delegate and we're so there's a lot of. i think. ron paul supporters out there who aren't and they neuron orders them plea because they feel like they're not going to be chosen or something of that sort so now i'm not sure if you know as about what we have a lot of ron paul some supporters on this network we interview a lot of people kind of get their take on this race just to show you know into a different perspective here and time and time again they look like you they're

young they're energetic ron paul is seventy six years old he does not look like you why do you think it is that so many young people follow him. ok well i think. from what i've seen at least that ron paul has. great idea a very well educated man who speaks very frankly about things even if they're not nice to hear and that we definitely my generation or people my age appreciate that type of honesty so that's what initially attracted to him and then once we see him . i guess the platform all around see how consistent he is and how fair he is to everybody not just to favor one over the other or to gain any sort of advantage over anybody it's just this is the way the constitution was right in this is what we should follow and i think that is something that is rare and something we

definitely are trying to want to talk about something interesting that happened recently in alaska the new heads of the stage russ millet ron paul supporter as is co-chair debbie holland brown ron paul supporter this is pretty unprecedented i haven't seen this in any other states that the head of the state party is a ron paul supporter what do you think this says in terms of a move or a shift in you know what i've been to this point was sort of an establishment mentality for the g.o.p. . well i think that it's a trend that's going to continue because here alone in el paso there are a lot of i guess what you call the establishment g.o.p. and i met with gotten to know them a lot of them like ron paul the only thing that keeping them from actually. supporting outright is the fact that they believe he an electable and i think that's really the thing that's the key thing but i went ahead and reserved some seats first some of those g.o.p.

. individuals here in el paso when ron paul spoke here last week and they were laughing and. they were just happy and i think that. as long as we get away from that mentality there i'm called unelectable because really the only thing that's keeping them from being elected is that mentality you know people just embraced the idea and thought you know this is doable i think that the trend definitely going to continue in that direction that is interesting to hear that they're showing up to these speeches you certainly do start to hear a lot of his ideas that he's been talking about for years whether about the gold standard or the fed or you know other ideas ideologies and you do hear those start to come out more and more in some of the more establishment leaders speeches i do want to play something you know because i think you raise a good point a lot of people do have trouble sort of throwing all their weight behind him even though a lot of the establishment are saying are right it's time presumptive nominee.

let's hear from a couple of mitt romney's former competitors in terms of their desire to jump on the bandwagon mitt romney is going to be the nominee and i'm going to support the nominee whoever the nominee is period. well that's what it looks like you know what i hear you saying you're not ready to say. what you will so well as the line says in the wizard of all in good time my pretty it will happen all in good time my pretty so in neither of them sort of really excited to go throw everything behind mitt romney why do you think that is well i mean both of then claim to be the true conservative candidate and i think that. or mitt romney after so. i guess outspokenly talked speaking about house you're not a conservative and he does not represent true conservative values that the g.o.p.

claims to. have guests championed so i think that that a lot of the pressure is down the line that they're going to eventually endorse him because they're there they have to see him and tell it you know he's going to be the candidate who the electable versus ron paul who's actually a true conservative so i think that it it's hard for them but they they feel like it's something that. they have to do in order to beat obama in november which is one of the main goals for the g.o.p. all right last question isabel i want to get your predictions right here right now for what we're going to see in the next couple months regarding ron paul my prediction ok. i really do think that you can it take text this i believe and it's a california and if he doesn't win the straw polls he'll definitely get a lot of the majority of delegates he has had very large crowds to go listen to him speak in both texas and california and i think that. it's definitely going to be something pretty amazing this coming month so i think those are definitely two big

things that you are looking out for that i kill you. so all right well we will all be watching appreciate your take today isabel gonzales president of youth for ron paul at the university of texas at el paso. well every year there is a meeting of the minds so to speak organize for the one hundred or so people very powerful now this is invite only in the last few meetings have taken place that venues such as the astor place resort in athens greece the hotel dolce in spain and the right to house in st moritz switzerland well this year is going to take place at the westfield maryon hotel not too far from here in chantilly virginia all right so here's a look at the hotel from the outside and that's all most people will see during this conference set to take place may thirty first to june third as the hotel is totally booked and will be on lockdown we were curious though about what this hotel

is all about take a look at this here's the web site to the marielle where the conference is being held it brags that it captures the elegance of northern virginia colonial estates in a resort like setting and that's not all the chantilly virginia hotel offers a twenty four hour fitness center an indoor and outdoor pool plus those who stay have access to the signature westfield fred couples golf club no doubt some important conversations will be had now in the hotel there is westfield restaurant with the award winning sunday champagne brunch a pub for those needed night caps and of course starbucks coffee while there's a forty thousand square foot conference center with award winning catering state of the our audio visual services and wireless internet so that's a look at the location for this year's build a bridge conference let's talk now about what may be going on inside alex jones is the host of the alex jones show and alex i know that you and your team are no stranger to this hotel and we'll talk about that in a bit let me first get your take on what you supposed might be discussed and

decided behind closed doors there. well they had their meeting there four years ago and that's where they chose to have hillary step down and for obama to become the presumptive nominee for the democrats there in denver in the two thousand and eight d.n.c. meeting and for an entire day the media in virginia and in d.c. was saying where is obama where's obama and we were there saying he's inside the secret service is there and we had inside sources that he indeed was there with hillary and years later that came out but the mainstream media would not cover it at that time and so i think some of the same things will be discussed should the only get behind mitt romney or barack obama both men are bought and paid for by the same financial interest and so the discussion will be which candidate can basically con the american people into laying down a tyranny for another four years on down we'll be discussing wars with iran ways to

censor the internet that's been discussed in past years the head of google and others were attending in switzerland last year when my team covered it so they're going to be discussing a lot of things also how to sell the public on more banker bailouts that is more taxpayer money paid to the private banks that have hijacked our country and they'll also be discussing how to ram through carbon taxes because their environmental hoax has imploded but alice i mean when you talk about the decision being made about which candidate to support i mean we still you know have a system in this country where people go to vote when you talk about future policies being made we still do have a process legislation has to be written laws have to be voted on i guess i'm just wondering how this bill or brick conference is you know different than any other you know meeting that important people have lawmakers have when they have dinner or play golf together already. sure some of the minutes of build

a burger been leaked over the years and baltimore has confirmed that it's been there that we've covered them on infowars dot com the b.b.c.'s coverage of and the the build a bird group shut up officially in one hundred fifty four it is you're back holland with prince pern hard and others a stablish ing it has always been pushing for one world corporate fascist government and up until about five six years ago the mainstream media in this country the united states but also in europe would not even say it existed they would admit that the trilateral commission skull and bones bohemian grove did what they would say builder burke didn't exist and so we know from past research that the hundred twenty five the leaders that meet there and there are twenty or so guest really do discuss policy behind closed doors and make a lot of important decisions they also have three or four builder burge steering committee meetings over the next year so this is one of the most important

globalist meetings ever david rockefeller in his memoirs is written about that royalty attends this and this is one of the most important convent abs out there and hillary clinton was fined back in the ninety's hundreds of thousands of dollars for attending builder berg when she was in the clinton white house and discussing policy at the event violating the logan act the policy is being shut there and this is one of the most elite meetings out there let's talk more about what you were just kind of touching on which is that most of the mainstream media doesn't cover this they observe sort of a blackout covering builder of our security is tightly controlled and those who do get in as you say they've got to keep their lips sealed but what if the media wanted to cover this especially being that it's in virginia this year i know you and your team had an experience trying to get some access in the past what would people encounter if they asked for say a press pass to build over. well they won't even tell you that it exist when you go

there but then separately because of pressure the last few years they have created a website they do put out a list of who's there but generally that's descend from a show some of the people on the list aren't there a lot of people that are there are not on the list and in fact of the most important names. show i don't expect the mainline u.s. media to cover this this year because for so many decades they told their readers and viewers it didn't exist and you were insane so i think there is the big story that shows you how powerful it is the media for fifty years is covered bohemian grove a lot of big decisions get made there the media for decades has covered skull and bones they will not cover builder burke now because of the alternative media and r.t. and the drudge report and others starting to cover it because of that and because the alternative media has become so dominant now the washington post two weeks ago came out and admitted that that senator rubio was going to the south american

conference to be part of an unofficial builder burge steering meeting anybody who knows about build a burg knows that the first media ever allowed in in fifty four was the head of the graham family at builder burg in europe and so every year since then either the son or the mother or the c.e.o. of the washington post media empire a tense and they would never report on it now two weeks ago in a big column they basically go yeah rubio wants to be vetted by build a bird he wants to up is international credit at builder bird coming up in early june so he's going to this conference and alice for those of our viewers who don't know just give us a little. a little nuts and bolts recap of what happened when you tried to get into the hotel the last time around while i checked in two days before they shut it down and kick you out. and i had security walk up after i checked in and said alex jones

don't you dare try to steal anything and i said well i don't steal and i don't have a criminal record and then i go in my hotel room and the fire alarm goes off and then they come out accuse me of doing it and told me i was trying to steal vases oh in fact they'd said don't steal don't try to steal vases during fire alarms but now you were unable to be in the hotel when the conference was going on for sure no no then they kicked me out and then they had cars following us people breaking and our o'dell rooms threatening phone calls all sorts of stuff military in plain clothes harassing us i mean it was bizarre but jim tucker got shot it in portugal what back in i think was nine hundred ninety one show so this is wild i mean in the past they really wanted to be secretive and now their cover is blown they admit that they basically exist but say that they're just a you know meeting you know discussing policy in a free and open way and that's why they have the secrecy but the new york times

a few years after i infiltrated attacked my film the obama deception and shed that i was at the westfield maryon in virginia having a loose a nation of goodness and then i was insane and that nothing even happened there and all right member the whole media is looking for obama and hillary we're there they're there the secret service motorcade is there and the national media would not come and cover it that's how powerful builder burge is and i'm calling in closing i'm calling to occupy builder burke to protest it and i'm calling for tens of thousands to be there coming up in one month all right will you keep us posted on on what you say and i'll certainly keep our eyes there as well since it is sort of relatively speaking in our backyard this year alex jones host of the alex jones shell thanks so much thank you. well that's going to do it for us for now but for more on the stories we covered go to youtube dot com slash r.t. america or check out our web site r t dot com slash usa and you should follow me on
