6:23 am
in the country the u.s. has uncle sam russia has the bear france has maryon and israel has a question mark if nothing else it's weird in france your french in the united states your american in south africa your south african but here in israel you cannot be registered as israeli i'm doing the really low you can come from moscow. and demand to be registered. but you can not there man. no it's a totally absurd situation in israel's population registry there are one hundred thirty five recognized nations people are listed as jew arab druze and more but never as israeli and the most seem ok with that it's the mountain the meaning is the same the nation is the jewish nation and it has the jewish nation state both in
6:24 am
the proclamation of independence and the un resolution of november the twenty ninth one nine hundred forty seven which says that a jewish state will be formed not an israeli one if a person was to be identified as israeli in the national wages treat it would challenge the claim that israel is a jewish country something the supreme court is aware of as is all we have mary and a group of israelis petitioning for change there already is a lot. of different routes from an arab citizen this is something to accept it's not that more crowded we were despicable long. all of that. but for now the supreme court has dismissed the case leaving the debate on what is an israeli open for years it was truly created by one of the country's greatest caricaturists camile goddaughter better known as dorsch but slick is clearly jewish as a question of additional yet he came up with a young man because israel was still
6:25 am
a young state and slowly he created the new israeli national guard more with the issue what happened with their neighbors palestinians included but they weren't part of the character. like the registry cyrillic lives in a world where culture faith and history are more defining then once present and by all accounts it's likely to remain that way at least for the nearest future and israel without israelis. r t hold on. it's just approaching half past three here in moscow needs for me in about half an hour time and i would be writing this and. i hate to be a downer but i really think the olympics have lost all meaning in the past when
6:26 am
there was the cold war it was like a battle between two ideologies taking place in the abstract and the one nine hundred thirty six olympics nazi pseudo science their self proclaimed superiority was put on trial for the whole world to see and it's quite the olympics having the majority of the countries on earth participating there are now horribly horribly bland one could argue that they have become a great way for countries to show off their excuse to build up some infrastructure by i think this is a big misconception let's look back to the two thousand a lympics in beijing yes china is really developed in the last twenty years but the olympics really teach us anything about this country with a radically different political system or anything about their ancient culture or the way they think or the way they live no nothing at all all we saw were some flags and some pandas that rather unique stadium which was mostly the work of a swiss company yeah i hate to say it but i think the olympic flame is kind of burnt out over the years although i have to admit that saying the torch in the space was kind of neat i think that when and if the world ever becomes an ideological battle ground again then the olympics will become worth watching but for now it's just generic sports from generic countries
6:27 am
a generic stadiums but that's just my opinion. i think. they would like to know that you know the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and our press simak we've been a high jinks trying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers one still just my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem. rational debate and real discussion critical issues facing define go ready to join the movement then walk in the big picture.
6:28 am
the the. happy almost thanksgivukkah folks i'm having martin this is breaking news sets well thanksgiving isn't just a time for mass consumption it's also time for the annual presidential turkey pardon that's right thanks to the generosity of obama to lucky birds were spared from the deep fryer today in fact of the course of his presidency obama had the great privilege of saving the lives of ten of these adorable gobblers if you only cared this much about humans rotting away in cages across the nation right now there are over three hundred thousand people in prison for drugs and guess how many nonviolent drug users obama had the pleasure of pardoning
6:29 am
a whopping eleven people now as obama has almost pardon as many turkeys as he has drug offenders well if you count the massive hormones injected into his. well burns i guess the number stands at twenty one pardon living things which is a shame considering how bombers of former user of marijuana and cocaine so how many people how has obama pardoned in total while the number stands at forty just for comparison at the same point ronald reagan's presidency he had already pardoned three hundred thirteen people and reagan was a horrible president so go with the program obama last time pardoning but that a paltry and more time pardoning persecuted prisoners. it's a. very hard to take. that are sad.
