friday august fourth five pm in washington d.c. i'm manila chan you're watching our team america we began today with documents containing the names of more than one hundred fifty suspected isis militants that were found in a war ravaged iraqi city the documents allege fighters for the self-proclaimed islamic state have been trained to carry out suicide attacks across all of europe interpol reportedly distributed the list among european intelligence agencies after the data was first collected by the f.b.i. through quote trusted channels peter oliver has more. documents containing the names of one hundred seventy three potential terrorists have been found amongst the ruins of the iraqi city of mosul following its liberation though these documents include things like photographs that include the names of these people the trees of all region and in some. cases particular expertise that they have now the majority
5:02 pm
of people on this list come from iraq there's also some from morocco jordan to jacket stand and saudi arabia as well as six names that originate from belgium france the netherlands and right here in germany now american intelligence first received these documents they went through them before passing them on to interpol all around the world the fear is of course that as isis suffers defeat after defeat on the battle grounds of the middle east they may turn their attention more towards carrying out terror attacks elsewhere particularly here in europe now the one german who's on the list is named only as sammy j. he goes by the nom de guerre a war name of the german now this sunny j. is listed as a twenty seven year old originating from near dusseldorf in the west of germany he
5:03 pm
was understood to have been a senior figure in a terror group linked to isis his death though was announced on the isis media back in july however no reason for his death was given and now that it's led investigators to wonder if that announcement of his death wasn't just a ruse to allow him to carry out some of the mission it's worthwhile noting that on these documents next to the the one german's name his expertise is listed as being a suicide bomber now germany has suffered at the hands of isis related terror in just the last eight months we saw of course the the truck attack on the christmas market here in berlin and which twelve people were killed after that truck plowed into people enjoying an evening out there by. man who claimed he was doing it in support of isis and then just last friday. you know how much the fifty year old mom

5:06 pm
saudi connection medea really great to see you. let's let's start here is there why is there virtually no attention given us mainstream media to saudi arabia's targeting of civilians and their continued human rights abuses well there's been almost no coverage of saudi abuses in neighboring game and which has been catastrophic and there tends to be a sympathy in the u.s. media towards the saudi government but on top of that the saudis don't let independent journalists go in there if they allow anybody in it so you've got to see what they want you to see but anyway there are people inside who are getting out videos who are getting out. photographs in the mainstream media is not carrying them and saudi arabia seems to have been emboldened by the trumpet ministration what sort of pressure from the west needs to be applied and in fact will there be any do you foresee any of that happening well first of the is important for your
5:07 pm
viewers to understand that this is a shia community that has been discriminated against for decades and it is a community that has risen up to demand their rights peacefully there is a small small group in the saudi government says ten people who have used arms and so. using that as an excuse to then go in a tap and attack and put the whole village which is about thirty thousand people under siege so people are free to go out of their homes yes they've cut the electricity they've been cutting the infrastructure they're really forcing people to flee and people are very worried that they're destroying the entire town so for just those ten or so people that are are the violent actors the bad actors they're punishing the whole the whole of the shia population in that area right and this is the shia population who has been peacefully demanding that they be treated like full citizens that they get their fair share of the government revenue that they're
5:08 pm
not discriminated against in jobs in education this is the hometown of sheikh nemr who was killed by the saudi government at the beginning of this year for peaceful protests so it's very worrisome and very terrible that the u.s. government is not speaking out against it they are treated openly as second class citizens then totally second class citizens and they also live in the area that is the most oil rich area and yet they are in the poorest. i don't think that's a coincidence right and human rights groups though in canada and our neighbor to the north they're calling on their own government to suspend all weapon sales to saudi after the canadian made armored vehicles were used by the saudi government forces against civilians recently in like you said in peaceful protest could that type of pressure work here in the u.s. because i don't think we're seeing it will we saw an increase in elected officials speaking out against human rights abuses in yemen it wasn't enough to stop the
5:09 pm
sales but we did get forty seven out of one hundred senators to try to stop one particular weapon sales so yes it should be done here unfortunately our congress hasn't done it so far and now they're out on recess which makes it more difficult but i think we have to push the human rights community and others to speak out forcefully around. this and to get members of our congress to start speaking out and given the same sions that the u.s. just passed against iran which is the shia population do you think that also further emboldens the saudi government to ignore international law as well well i think the saudis use it they use the this as part of the war on terrorism they say that the shias are puppets of iran and so the legitimate rights of the shia people are in the eyes of the saudi government pro-trade as the meddling of neighboring yemen and yes i think they are emboldened by the sanctions and by the harsh
5:10 pm
rhetoric of the term they've been the straight and particularly donald trump himself against iran yet and you know what we're starting to see now i mean maybe not in my memory i don't know if you remember seeing this at all but saudi is also finding a lot of commercials on american airwaves here in the mainstream media they're attacking qatada and other people that they deem as bad actors in their state. they're funding these political commercials here in america stateside first do they have any business to do that here to bash their neighbors in qatar and do you deem it as propaganda it is total propaganda and it's absolutely ridiculous it's look who's calling the kettle black you you know the saudis are the funders of extremism it doesn't mean the people in qatar haven't done that as well but to have the saudis pretend that they have not been one of the main propagandists and the ones who have been spreading their one hub isn't around the world i think that we should
5:11 pm
again call on the u.s. stations not to take those lives pure propaganda and why are they broadcasting it on us airwaves that with my question the saudis have employed a lot of us groups as their lobbying firms it's all about money they have a lot of money they. spread it around and the the media takes the money well i guess i mean that's how they they fund the mainstream media right very different than how we do things here unfortunately but thank you for bringing up this issue which has gotten so little attention thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us always a pleasure to have you thank you medea benjamin she's the co-founder of code pink and author of kingdom of the unjust behind the u.s. saudi connection thank you so much media thank you. a new plan submitted to the white house would increase u.s. support for the government led by petro poroshenko in ukraine if approved it could mark an escalation of u.s. policy with respect to that region r.t.
5:12 pm
correspondent on your part in pella has the latest on the discussion that has been in the works since the obama era. all street journal is reporting the pentagon and state department have put forward a proposal to supply arms to the ukrainian government the journal knows if approved the transfer of antitank missiles and other weapons to the poorest banco government would come at a time when washington and moscow's relations are particularly strained with trump having just signed especially harsh sanctions against russia into law this week so extreme they've even been denounced by the e.u. the fact trump stamped his signature on the sanctions underscores the unpredictable manner with which the president acts towards moscow though he's argued for improved relations in the past and cooperated with russia to reach a cease fire in syria he's also expanded nato it's unclear whether or not the president will take a step to arm the ukrainian government considering similar plans were rejected by
5:13 pm
president obama however trump's national security adviser who will surely be in his ear h.r. mcmaster is known for taking exceptionally hawkish positions on russia trump selection of mcmaster to replace former nats second advisor michael flynn was praised by many traditionally pro-war and neo conservative elements within the republican party including arizona senator john mccain mccain's enthusiasm for increasing tensions with russia has yet to waver as you shared the wall street journal's reporting on the plan to arm ukraine along with a comment it's about time earlier this week in june both mccain and house speaker paul ryan met with ukrainian m.p. andre proved he described by alter net as quote one of the most notorious right wing extremists and ukrainian politics a founder of the far right social national party of ukraine whose name and symbols were inspired by germany's nazi party prove either directed the street muscle in kiev might on the square throw the twenty fourteen
5:14 pm
a us backed who against ukraine's democratically elected russian oriented government. since two thousand and fourteen the u.s. has backed right wing militias in their fight against russian backed fighters in ukraine in january of this year the u.s. to lift its ban on the funding of the neo nazi as of battalion in the country trump recently described the u.s. russia relations as at an all time low and very dangerous just how low he'll be willing to take that remains to be seen in washington on your part until r.t. . coming up on r.t. tensions run high between moscow and washington could it be a planned a scapegoat we'll talk about that after the break stay with us. all the world's a stage and all the news companies merely players but what kind of partners are
5:15 pm
anti american play r t america. r t america. many ways to use landscape just like the real big. bad actors. you could never. so the market all the world the world all the world's a stage we are. people of i don't know whether or not fair president should people deserve to know at this point does it mean you must guard against the military industrial. and we shall never go. or should know that
5:16 pm
your own merit. we do what we. think we. say correct it. i'm tom hartman and i'll give you what the mainstream media can't help big picture. and when you question more find what you're looking for this is look i. want. to go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. i i. i the u.s. sanctions against russia passed earlier this week are expected to cause significant
5:17 pm
damage to the russian economy they target russia's defense intelligence mining shipping railway energy industries they even restrict russian banks now russian prime minister dmitri medvedev accuse the us of starting a full blown trade war against russia earlier i was joined by daniel colic he's a professor of international human rights at the university versity of pittsburgh school of law and also the author of the book the plot to scapegoat russia how the cia and the deep state have conspired to vilify hooton and i started by asking him if he thinks these sanctions are justified and if the russians are correct to perceive these sanctions as an act of aggression take a look. i think the russians do have a right to see it as an act of aggression and i don't see the sanctions as justified first of all as i've maintained. all along and in my book i don't think
5:18 pm
that the claims of russian meddling. are supported by the evidence and in fact there's a recent independent report by the veterans intelligence professionals for sanity these are former intelligence officials of the u.s. who concluded that in the john podesta e-mails in fact more intact at all they were leaked that russia had nothing to do with that that's gotten very little reported so i don't see just a vacation moreover these sanctions follow these productive meetings between putin and trump at the g eight agreed to cooperate on syria and ukraine amongst other items and in which relations seemed to have the possibility for improvement in all the sudden we've thrown a wrench in there. that so i it's almost inexplicable to me why we would be doing this at this time right because how how would this so-called trade war in any capacity how would that benefit the united states is there perhaps some other
5:19 pm
motive besides strictly punishing russia. well there's a few other motives and then this is been hinted at even in the mainstream media that the u.s. may want to muscle into russia's natural gas market and you're hoping that these sanctions will deter you from buying natural gas from russia and then turning to the u.s. for natural gas so it could be as simple as that in the trade maneuver mask to sanctions and russia has hinted that they believe that this is what these sanctions are all about. but of course that could backfire because europe as was indicated is furious at these sanctions because they believe quite rightly that it's going to adversely impact them in their choice of where they're going to get fuel from so it's a very dangerous situation again may end up not enduring to our benefit whatsoever
5:20 pm
and you know some analysts have continually expressed concern that this is possibly one of the most dangerous time. russian relations especially since the cold war we saw president trump tweet that out the other day do you agree with that sentiment and could this risk now a new hot war because it's nuclear russia. absolutely. the bulletin of atomic scientists which monitors the threat of nuclear war has pushed the so-called nuclear clock to three minutes to midnight indicating that in fact this is the most dangerous. time between the u.s. and russia since the one nine hundred fifty s. and moreover for the first time ever the u.s. has placed missiles patriot missiles in this case in the baltics on the border of
5:21 pm
russia for the first time ever so i think people have to be very concerned that this is escalating into a war as you noted the u.s. is now considering arming directly the ukrainian government which is a great odds not only with russia but with its own russian population inside the ukraine again that could be a trigger point for some sort of greater conflagration so i think people need to be very concerned that this could result in some type of world war between at least two nuclear powers and as you mentioned going back to the europeans being unhappy with the sanctions like you said maybe trying to force the europeans into being dependent on american not gas but you know who else is mad at china china's not very happy about these sanctions too because they have other they have other gas pipelines that in the works as well do you think that passing these types of sanctions actually perhaps her u.s.
5:22 pm
credibility in the international community and why can't congress why is congress forcing the president's hand in this. well so first of all i think it will hurt our international credibility a number of governments including germany has stated i believe quite correctly that in fact these types of sanctions or a violation of international law that the u.s. should have gone through the security. counsel if they wanted these types of sanctions which they did not. so yes this will hurt our credibility and why did congress do it i think for political reasons i think obviously the democrats have been pushing this russia gate so-called issue in order to try to make political gain though i don't think it's been working for them and i think the republicans feel like they need to go along so that they don't look weak and so you have a perfect storm where very few congress people stood up to oppose this and trump
5:23 pm
had no choice but to sign it even if he had vetoed it there was a veto proof majority in congress to override that so it's just this you know it's spiraling out of control and again it could end up in a terrible conflagration fascinating time that we live in that we are in an era that congress would play politics with the potential of nuclear war between two very powerful nations the most powerful in the world some would argue and here we are facing it now thank you so much for breaking it down all for us they're getting a college professor of international human rights at the university of pittsburgh school of law thank you for sharing your expertise. top officials from the trumpet ministration have lashed out at the continued leaks of classified information coming from the white house saying that they're damaging to the whole country and
5:24 pm
a warning was issued that they are on the hunt for leakers. leaks are incredibly damaging to our intelligence mission and capabilities simply put these leaks hurt our country if you improperly disclose classified information we will find you we will investigate you we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law and you will not be happy with the result of those strong words from officials came after teen trump was hit by yet another scandal over an unauthorized disclosure r.t. correspondent jacqueline boga has more. attorney general just sessions and the director of national intelligence sent a clear message that a crackdown is coming on what they called the culture of leaks in america both men stress the fact that these disclosures of classified information put national security at risk and jeopardize all americans exceptional focus on the fact that they have seen a sharp rise in illegal least reporting that in the first six months of the trumpet
5:25 pm
ministration the department of justice has received almost as many criminal referrals over leaks as over the past three years combined attorney general also added that these leaks are affecting trump's ability to do his job effectively. no government can be effective when its leaders cannot discuss sensitive matters and. freely. with foreign leaders for the first time sessions revealed that for prosecutions are already underway and implied that more might be coming and one of trump's closest advisers kellyanne conway has even speculated that using lie detector test on people in the west wing is a possibility to root out the forces of these leaks so the show of force comes after the washington post published what is likely the most dangerous leak to have happened up to this point the transcripts of trump's phone calls with two foreign leaders from back in january of this year now these documents getting out is seen as explosive given that they involve highly classified conversations with the
5:26 pm
mexican president and the australian prime minister the call records reveal that trump argued with his mexican counterpart about his proposed border wall and show tension between trump and the australian prime minister over refugees. my position has been and will continue to be very firm saying that mexico cannot pay for that wall three you cannot say that to the press the press is going to go with that and i cannot live with that you cannot say that to the press because i can not negotiate under those circumstances this is a big deal it is really really important to us that we maintain it it doesn't oblige you to take one person that you do not want through this is going to kill me i am the world's greatest person that does not want to lead people into the country and likely in response to leaked documents such as those being published sessions offered a warning to the press saying that prosecutors have launched a review of the justice department's policy related to subpoenas involving media organizations implying that the press could be held responsible for publishing

they did accept the reject. so when you want to express injury. or some want to. get to the right person this is what the four three of the four people that. i'm interested in the wall using. this. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories that are critics can't tell when you know why because their advertisers more let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth the parties able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out

there to the american what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working. efforts to break the golden state of california away from the united states if now in full swing parties natasha sweet has more regarding the possibility of kalak that making its way on to the ballot. it's no secret california has its own distinct vibe compared to the rest of the country however some activists are taking a huge step forward hoping to get california to succeed from the u.s.

5:34 pm
own medical marijuana but the idea is again a lot of support in the house you to house minority leader brian king literally laughed when he heard of various proposal he said quote we fought a war over one hundred fifty years ago addressing situations where we call on states not to secede from the unions which strikes me as funny that anyone would think it's appropriate that we in light of our history on a state to secede that's amusing but it's not stopping proponents like seeing him he's already planning out what kind of border policy they would have been and how they would lease out their land to existing u.s. military bases while seeing them claims the rest of the country doesn't like california politics the entire state is far from being blue according to the registrar of voters the most recent number for twenty seventeen indicates the state has around forty five percent of voters registered as democrats however around twenty six percent are registered republicans and another twenty five percent
5:35 pm

5:36 pm
of water during the daytime when he was shot and killed right on the streets and voldemort which is white and frightening to say the least now other cities are saying that number is surpassing the records that were said and twenty sixteen and the twenty fifth. now earlier i was on the friday great miro i want to take a look at my reporting so that you can see exactly why i was there. i'm in front of the forty three year old where our guardians are saying that freddie agrees the death that took place a couple years ago is the reason for the spike and homicides in the city now in two thousand and sixteen the city saw three hundred eighteen homicides and in two thousand and fifteen the city saw three hundred forty four and twenty sixteen the city saw its two hundred homicide on september second and then twenty fifteen the city saw its two hundred homicide on august tenth twenty seven thousand saw its two hundred homicide and july experts say the city may be headed to a record of homicide rate by the end of this year well tomorrow mayor catherine q
5:37 pm
has said quote over six hundred shootings in less than a year in our city and something has to give and so we are trying to protect the citizens of our city and make sure that we curb the violence in our city according to the baltimore sun baltimore police commissioner kevin davis is trying to combat the gun violence and has deployed one hundred fifty officers and supervisors. placing them on teams called district action teams where officers answer providers will strategically be placed in each of the city's nine police districts in order to cut down on the violence we spoke with baltimore city police department spokesman t.j. smith who lost his younger brother last month it's a gun violence take a look it's gangs guns and drugs is what we're seeing is a nucleus behind a lot of the homicides that we're seeing and when we say known to each other there's a preexisting relationship and in many cases some sort of dispute whether it's over
5:38 pm
drugs whether so over territory or gangs or robberies extent or if we were seeing up close and personal violence which is a little bit unusual nationally where you're seeing so many fatal shots here in baltimore compared to others we get calls every day from local media national media want to know what the homicide count is that homicide count equals human beings i'm equal spam leads that are connected to each other and yes and number one seventy three was my brother deon a smith and it's still something that hurts the most in a couple of days past when that incident occurred and it's tough but as i've done since i've been in baltimore. a mouthpiece for not only the police but before the community and for the victims of violent crime. many residents in baltimore want to see an end to violence which has led a community activist to push for a seventy two hour cease fire starting today.
5:39 pm
and joining me now to offer list the suction is eric umbrage her she's one of the organizers for baltimore ceasefire thank you so much for joining me erika from now can you tell me what inspired you want to hold this event here today so well this event is selling how things change is doing it even for the ceasefire this is not the violence rally the cease fire is so i'll go home who is a like a hip hop legend in both books two years ago approached me about he wanted to do with these and it's a because this was actually talking really sit down and talk about it but it was because my nineteen year old son says believe that the murder rate in los move higher than it's ever been so that sparked me to call go in and say i was a vet you said you wanted to do it so his idea was that everybody should know and my other half of that was that everybody should celebrate life and so we move forward doing it that way that it could not be about one person one holding his face and it has to be about baltimore all meaning that we all want peace and we all are calling a ceasefire and that's very important because we mentioned earlier over two hundred
5:40 pm
people have been shot and killed in the city of the war in this year and we still have a few more months left. and now earlier we spoke with the baltimore police department spokesman p.j. and he was letting us know that a lot of these killings and the related thinking activity would you rule is that i'm not i'm sure it is not can't tell you where it's coming from what i do know is that america is an extremely violent place right this is one of the most violent places on earth and the structure of it is designed to keep some people at the bottom of that structure them so when you see that balance of power of course the people at the bottom of your structures are going to use the same strategies to gain their power that they see people at the top of that structure. so whether it's gun violence so people just having arguments and i know how to be able to accomplish what people fail this is how what they're going to go with violence is violence is america's culture is interesting that you say about do you believe that
5:41 pm
residents here in baltimore are a whole less or just don't value life well you know the judge's son said he's so close to so that said right so it dawned on me that i was going to lot of work to try to bring peace and i still go to israel full citizens here and then hunt breaking so how much other people feel we all probably want to do something about it and even the people who was involved in violence nobody believed more of their loved ones than they did and so what we found is that people still had a glimmer of hope and they want people to leave tried to do something from the ground now in your opinion do you believe that baltimore doesn't do enough you are magically to infuse into your warnings use opportunities in order to think off the streets and to succeed and do things the worthwhile i think that that is a vast assist them problem all over this country and baltimore is not immune to their rights and so absolutely there are things that happen with education systems and with art and with music and with not having places to play it's all kind of
5:42 pm
them and we as a country we believe in policing we don't believe and killing and creating people to understand how to stand in their power and what their self worth is all about that's what we don't do so we snatch from them and so when they feel worthless and think that they're just going to live and die in this race then we blame them for feeling that way of acting that way without having taken responsibility for the system we have created that caused them to feel that way we have about a minute left here on my leadership announced baltimore not the only city that is doing gun violence we see that happening right now in chicago and we see that happening in places like iowa late as their resolution to this issue so that's a far as though the question. because there's not just one solution there was not one thing that got us here so that's going to be one thing to get this right and so there are a lot of organizations in baltimore that already do a lot of work to address the root cause of the band was the present trauma the fire
5:43 pm
was the aftermath of it's very hot for a lot of those especially grassroots organizations to get the funding and resources that they need and so but if we all stopped doing that work we would see how much those things have been helping even the little bit they were able to do in this city and so i think that the solutions are about everybody figuring out what is it that you think is an injustice in your community and what can you do about it don't just sit around being mad about what somebody else isn't doing what role can you play in trying to address whatever you think is an injustice all right thank you so much aaron oh that was erica bridgeport's is one of the organizers for baltimore city inspire not the for recent america i'm ashley banks don't forget to follow me on twitter at actually banks underscore our team that's human off. our our team will be right back you don't want to miss this great talk that lionel and i our friday discussions of sit tight we'll be right back after this short break.

this. sex robots have been making waves in recent months the technology newly available is now causing concern for many citing that they might make human partners obsolete specifically women and while ninety five percent of the new ai sex robot industry is geared towards bots for straight men one sex doll technologist yes that job exists says makers are missing the mark so joining me now to discuss all of this my friend lionel of litle media in new york all right lionel tracey cox she says that women would be the likely candidates to enjoy sex robots the most given that the tried and true sex toy industry and the pun is intended is powered by women as the consumer do you think women would take up this trend ok let's first of all
5:47 pm
apologize in advance for anything that i or we say it it virtually that is viewed discussed thing by young children and people who are hyper sensitive that being upset the devices themselves that we are talking about may be. applicable to women by virtue of. angle. positioning. targeting of speech such whereas the male role we're talking about the actual the working and so to speak and use these terrible terms is pretty much as you can imagine the design doesn't really leave much of the imagination that being said and this is what i find fascinating. we have never seen any kind of an introduction of anything anything that is that seeks to be utilitarian and the thing that makes our life easier where we have involved in motion do it where
5:48 pm
it has replaced more than just doing something mechanical or provide is something mechanical now the question is as a friend of mine had suggested men of course provide motile sperm kill spiders and empty trash that being said there will always be a use for meals however what women are going to find is that there will never be and i just opined this i provided there will never be the replacement for human intimacy yasmin khan that in a machine whereas for men this may be ok we're going let's talk brass tacks let's talk dollars here it's legitimately a battle of the sexes if the numbers show that women enjoy these types of toys more
5:49 pm
than men why is the industry that's creating so many of these sex bots why are they geared towards straight men if women are the consumer. because again i'm trying to be very careful what the woman women consumer is looking for might be the most can it go ergonomics aspects of it where with men you're actually look making something that looks like a human being dare i say that one mind argue because men are so base they can actually be fooled into thinking that something good synthetic and made of silicone is a human being or as a woman would say no to said no way i don't need to look i don't care about what kind of hair this is a real kind of the texture of the skin is that's not why i'm buying this i don't buy specific like a loader i'm looking. you know i'm serious because what a woman i'm sorry i have to go home you know our pants and stuff it but r.p.m.
5:50 pm
frequency you heard vibrations pro whatever let's said also angular as a name graph and bird for those who are who are what hip the the ones that that cox is and you know it's her names and that's cox what she's arguing is that these facts were not a comment in the effects provide no comment in general would advance sex between human partners and that it would expand people's minds in how you view sex because these are these are lifelike dolls could we be on the verge perhaps of a new sexual revolution like the sixty's. yes because one could argue because as you know women are far more dare i say complicated when it comes to the matters of sex because there are eleven i don't know why you keep laughing but it's true there are times where it is sadly crazy there's a there's sex and typically there's romance whatever it is for
5:51 pm
a man and sex are fine so consequently if you have a device which explored dare i say the experimental kind of like the prototyping a while this is interesting i never knew this whereas for a man a man not all but some i'd say no this is an opening up my my love of intimacy with a human no this has me going to increase my affinity for my new friend that i bought which in some cases would completely replace human intimacy because what i'm saying is we member and i know i seem like i'm being like i'm on a big a bit of a benedict arnold to my my fellow men here but when it comes to sexual sophistication of a lot of men it's based it's fred flintstone based consequently they might be perfectly happy with this automated machine or as a woman would say no the human form can never be replaced and with that we've got to leave it right there my human friend renaissance man rather than philosopher

a litle of a light on media thank you couldn't have said it better myself. and tend to contact tomorrow evening chris hedges discusses challenges to legal justice in america with a legal scholar at her contact aleck. i think that we've got a product that is really critical to the freedom and pursuit of happiness and fundamental rights people but where i see the problem is i don't know a public defender who can handle competently more than one hundred fifty felonies walking around with a caseload of five hundred. i don't know of any system that can do the kind of quality work as an individual public defender needs to do on behalf of a client. with the kinds of case loads that are being dumped on them
5:53 pm
because of the shortage of funding so that's that's on the criminal side so what they have to do. basically because the prosecutors are then saying we're going to go for the maximum and now that the attorney general has called for a revival of this broken war on drugs. we're going to see the prisons and the juvenile system the juvenile prisons basically flooded with kids for ten and twenty years for having some marijuana and they're not going to have counsel they're going to be told oh just just plead guilty and you'll go free there's no capacity within the courts to even hold trials so you've got a system in the fact says the only way you can retain even a semblance of freedom is to walk around with the rest of your life with a criminal record and that's called freedom.

5:56 pm
a new series of articles called five things trump did while you weren't looking they just released their eighth installment of it so it's been going on for a while and apparently the purpose of the series is to catch you up on all the secret things trump has been doing while no one's been paying attention and to me this promise is ridiculous utterly ridiculous and nothing makes that plainer than politico itself because the five things trump did while you were looking serious runs on politico's agenda section and if you go to the home page of their and gender section you see just how ridiculous the notion is of the president doing anything that isn't scrutinized relentlessly by the media because when i went to visit their home page myself at politico dot com slash agenda i counted no less than sixteen instances of the word trump being used just on their home page in other words politico is writing a series about all the things trump does that aren't getting covered on a page where all they do is cover him relentlessly they wrote his name sixteen times on one page and they used nine pictures of him nine political agenda had nine
5:57 pm
pictures of trump on its home page and yet they also have these theories about what trump's doing that isn't being covered so that's pretty funny ridiculous to pretend like no one is covering news about the president but the thing that's been a little sad to be honest was that in exactly zero of the sixteen instances where political mentioned the name trump they never not once referred to him as president trump now once they give him that respect there was only one instance of the word president preceding a person's name as an official title and it was used before the name obama in other words political refuses to give our new cry. wouldn't the same respect that it's still given our latest ex-president brock is president obama donald is just trump and this light is not just political it's doing a lot of the liberal media is doing it trying to deal with my eyes president trump by never calling him president it's a dirty little trick and if you start looking out for it now i guarantee you'll see
5:58 pm
it everywhere and politico isn't the only news outlet pretending they're not covering president trump relentlessly either but the fact that they're doing here right on a web page called genda with the name trump plastered everywhere makes it pretty obvious exactly what their agenda is and it's nothing if not biased. all the feelings of. every the world experience. and you'll get it all the old world. according to jeff.
