i'm tom hartman and i'll give you what the mainstream media can't help big picture we'll go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. greetings and salutations september is finally upon us the kids are back and school university is starting up again the leibniz will soon be turning beautiful colors and here in the united states our lovely elected officials in congress head back to capitol hill to you know look busy talk a lot and ultimately not really do much of anything but one country that is talking a lot lately is north korea they they also appear to be doing quite a bit over the weekend it was confirmed that north korea executed its sixth and

most powerful nuclear test to date according to the guardian the underground blast triggered a magnitude six point three earthquake it was more powerful than the bombs dropped by the u.s. on the road and nagasaki during the second world war yes the ongoing game of threats and missile tests between the united states and north korea continues to escalate with neither side pulling back on the rhetoric or saber rattling but the question that is going to be asked is where where where does all this bravado go what is the endgame for either side but i know the united states sponsored military executed regime change which which would not come without a certain amount any amount of grand irony attached given that the few have sponsored regime regime change is exactly what north korea's internal great leader style power structure has been built upon since the nineteen fifties and the korean war and first student wonder stands the real history of the united states you can't

exactly blame them remember it was the united states and the soviet union who split that country into a long thirty eighth parallel remember it was the us who slaughtered mesta made one fifth of north korea's entire population through carpet bombing during the korean war which which technically still hasn't ended. fear is what has kept kim kim jong un and his family in power fear is what the mill u.s. military industrial complex relies on fear as why nuclear weapons even exist and fear will bring us all one step closer to world war two unless we start watching the hawks. you. know. the. real thing is what. lies at the bottom.

like you but i got. to. deal. with it. well the larger logs liable to roll them to and i am top of the wall in five world leaders are gathered in sharm and china for the ninth annual bric summit under normal circumstances the international relations conference would heavily focus on economic development but as our teams summoned ours ariel reports the focus has shifted to ongoing military tensions in the region the hydrogen bomb test in north korea that rattled neighboring china and russia happened just hours before russian president vladimir putin touched down here in china ahead of the ninth annual bric summit now the nuclear test has somewhat overshadowed the true purpose behind the brics gathering world leaders from brazil russia india china and south africa meet to discuss economic development and

bolstering emerging economies still there was always side talks at these summits and putin chinese president xi jinping wasted no time addressing north korea's actions together with other brics leaders they released this statement in the showmen declaration saying we express deep concern over the ongoing tension and prolonged nuclear issue on the korean peninsula and. emphasize that it should only be settled through peaceful means and direct dialogue of all the parties concerned now this is in contrast to actions the u.s. and its allies have taken since the nuclear tests the us south korea and japan are looking to exercise military options while here and reach down to japanese president. urging a diplomatic solution and we spoke with russia's deputy foreign minister here who said that this military pressure has failed in the past very delicate moment old responsibility. part of this having said that once again we deplore

the illegal. missile technology. missile launches that device. by north korea as the bric summit wraps up here in. russia where putin will be meeting with south korean president at the eastern economic forum that's wednesday and thursday north korea is also sending a delegation to the conference no word yet on whether the north and south of talks there as well reporting from china. north korea. over the over the holiday weekend here in the united states where do we go. question on everyone's mind is where. well that's the thing it's not a game i think there is no in the game everybody thinks well who is going to fix north korea and who's going to fix this you can't do it through sanctions i think that's ludicrous and to pretend as if you know one country that you're sanctioned

as opposed to put sanctions on another country. in never does anything just if you if anybody can remember the part of that time when sanctions actually worked and made everything great and human rights improved in a place because they said well you can choose from france please let me know please read on our facebook page watching the hawks but i don't think about how ben so this is another one where. it's great to get out there and get out swinger see the workers here around but i don't know that it's actually doing any. you know what's interesting is is. bricks for russian president vladimir putin told reporters that you know ramping up military hysteria is a worse move to to you know sort of sanctions on one hand or you've got you know the hysteria you know hysterics over military and interesting point while he said that and emeli official quote all the the and i all the american press and all c.n.n. and m.s.n. b.c. and fox to talk about all the press was that you know

a comment he made about whether or not trump is not a pariah to him or husband that was literally all they could they could or that's about when there's actual real world consequences and war could begin and people will die people are already starving and you. like what is most important thing you . will do i ride the president. quote it could lead to a global planetary catastrophe and a huge loss of human life there's no other way to solve the north korean nuclear issue save a peaceful dialogue yes this is all you can do is a peaceful dialogue that's really because you know all reports that we get from the inside of north korea is that as i said earlier their whole kind of system of government in this kind of you know great leader style system of government is built on the fear of united states and the you know that's it and you have generations who have grown up in the us where they don't know anything about the

outside world that they they know what they've been told that's why we can sit and laugh and it's so fun to just like make a joke out of our story and people only can have three different haircuts ha ha ha no these people have been living under this some of them don't you have people who don't even know really what the rest of the world as you're saying like there are people who you look at a picture of pyramids they have no idea what you're talking larry but they don't exist as you're talking about a cult of. you know it's very cult like it was in a while were horrible horrible things happened we were carpet bombing them and under that can you can understand why a certain amount of seclusion starts to take place and it gets bigger and bigger and bigger when asked about why north koreans are so adamant about holding on to their their weapons is there was an author south korean native suki kim who had taught children in north korean sort of elites so she had this inside view of a place like that and she said there's there's literally nothing else they can rely on the fact they're a nuclear power is the only reason anyone would begin. with them at this point it's

their survival regime change is what they fear that's what the whole country is built on dehumanizing the people making them pawns of another game and using all of those people and that fear came to the only person using those people in the united states is now in the game of using the north koreans us pawns in political game and that's a part where you have to just stop you do salute. this weekend site no one had heard hide nor hair of china and claimed that they were they were hit by a major denial of service attack within hours of an endorsement by former candidate for president hillary rodham clinton who tweeted quote i'm excited to sign up for a verite media platform for the sixty five point eight million will you join up and something to what what is very well according to them there it collects and contractual as is noteworthy fact stats and quotes for politically engage seditions

each verite is the verified item of information marked with a seven digit identification code who exactly are they sixty five point eight million that would be the people who voted for hillary in a general election and a reference to her winning the popular vote and making sure the rest of voters who didn't get in line and back hillary know exactly how much they mean. queen region of the d.n.c. you only need to see the kinds of facts verite is going to be preaching to their own choir within a day of launch a big can textual eyes the facts of the election for as saying quote so under islam the mainstream media helped put trump in the white house this isn't a news site or an independent fact checker this isn't marketing for hillary clinton and her book it's more excuses and pats on the back for a democratic party that failed its members its donors and every voter in the united states by refusing to accept it's own complete lack of self-awareness you know it's

fascinating one of the big accusations of the you know probably is you don't really disagree with one of the big accusations that's a kind of leveled at like trump on the republican you know ideology and you know the republican side of the country is that they only you know live and breathe their own news cycle where you know there's there that was all probably north korea only there are some other news and you only live in your little town and you only listen to certain thing right and so this isn't the only only thing that you get now i see the democrat side always the liberal side of things going the exact same thing we're going to create our own site with our own facts our own statistics and we're going to verify them so now you know it's true for our way of thinking right i mean that's basically just you know that's so in yourself. that's creating and selling yourself your own brain and this is what happens i think when you see it is a lot of people that have been within the clinton dynasty as it's called for so

long one of the bigger problems i see is that you have people who have failed to get something done failed to do their job very well who suddenly come out of the clinton dynasty like well i'm really great she lost twice and i'll tell you what's funny about this is peter dowd the c.e.o. of verite actually served as the internet director for hillary clinton during her two thousand and eight campaign. a campaign by the same one which obama's internet was miles ahead of her and credited pretty much for one m. election and adding twenty or thirty million dollars thirty million people to the voter rolls it is in fame that this guy is out there trying to make a buck off this really really. what's crazy is when you break down like the policies of the site when you really didn't know that byrd claims that they're fact checking and kentucky. whatever that means blood there are a couple of major problems with that. number one is that there is nothing radical

or innovative about their system they post you know they post basically quote an image formats that can. put on your page and there was verification members and you know and it's from sources that they trust their sources that they choose to deem like ok this is a legitimate source or anything about following mainstream news media is that it's next to impossible to find like you know three newspapers or three internet sites that all tell the same story and they don't think. that it's crazy and they don't date their post still date like they're you know like the tweet was that they're referencing the references but they don't bait their own post of listener put it it's absolutely ridiculous it's crazy and this is the thing with this that i find there's two little things i just want to say is one of the verge actually called i think put it in perspective really well he said the site is the blue hat of web site and it's no different than you know any of the bright parts or whatever one of

the things i thought was interesting is that peter dow has been going on this tweet started ever since it happened just calling about the haters spectators they're coming for us this was all about hillary supporters they were just being marginalized they were marginalize yeah ok they don't ever see oh yeah it was the thing no one thing is that it hasn't been reading frenzy over various. launches proof why it needs to exist. remember this is all in caps so we should be yelling at there is no thanks to a we in the video. there is no science for media for it will read voters will. know and love story in the media the right to break or courtrooms don't forget to let us know what you think of the properties of the property good cover to facebook and twitter still full shows at r t dot com and we are excited to announce that you couldn't now watch watching the hawks and all of your favorite r t america shows on t.v.

channel three two one coming up we present the second half of our interview with writer and poet adele then there are two truly chavez brings us a tale of two hurricanes stay true to what you. all the world just did and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties are into the american play r.t. america offers more. in many ways the news landscape is just like that you know. you could never how we. so much part of the play all the world's a stage all the world's a stage all the world and we are definitely applying. the mission of news with this is to go to the people we get a boost signs we hear from both sides and we question more that journalists bring it home to the american people.

without a doubt poverty and neglect or social ills that cross cultural borders and hit no hit hard no matter what your race or creed and yet diverse pockets of society face starkly different realities when it comes to dealing with hardship could want to fidel is an author a poet and community. activist who knows firsthand the tough reality of life in inner city baltimore earlier he joined our show to discuss the nuances of class and race in his community as well as how his work seeks to inspire young adults by showing them the beauty in the struggle. like my friend the list because he was a ph it was a majority why school. is why. he was basically getting upset because we was always talking about you know the conversation was based around like blackness and he was like you know like my family grew up poor too you

know and my family poor right now you know and we time them right you know we get that you get i'm sorry and we send everybody this is a drug and i'm not trying to negate and then valencia said that you know white porn is is not sexy enough for the world it's not sexy enough for the media so that's why i don't get you know right shadow issues. you're going to see and i care about anybody that's suffering from oppression any group of people which is complex and is. the reason why your story isn't getting the coverage like how black people stories because she just said it is not sexy enough you know for the media for the world to look at you again i'm saying. earlier you know white people can complain all i was playing all they want but there's still a level of respect but you're going to get in at least the united states that a person of color is not going to get if they're coming out of a similar situation or even if they're coming from

a rich background and still not go get that level of understand earlier you know as an educator you see first hand how police violence racism the election system politics the media all of this is negatively impacted by young people across this country you know living in poverty what should we be doing to mitigate the trauma of emotional a the we're seeing caused by this system that we live under while still fighting to dismantle it how do we balance those two things. like i always say it's not one. but i believe. skills that you have like you know what i've got to hear or read today ya know we got so ya know they can give someone else their rights so we need to take our skills and pass them on to the youth i don't just say you know if somebody come to

you like. right have it in him in days i'm starving you say. just wait on god you know he got you like this just keep printing. where you've got a whole pantry full of food that's criminal you get i'm saying give them food right if somebody said that they want to get you they want to get in the media you're going to try to find if you can do it then direct them to someone like me and you know we do our thing through literacy we get kids excited about it's teachers that come out our time i say you our kids haven't read anything all year they just didn't want to but we you know show them your work and they love it you know they still copies of the book from school and i do this shows that my book need to be a requirement because they are still in the crucible you know going to mean it is based on the past. and we have friends that want to be best friends his name is tom he's a personal trainer he get paid. several days a week he does free work out for the people and maybe who can afford it you going

to. you know he's one of the people who he collected cameras that he give to you for get organised and get those cameras and give them to you you get a sense of us. that they don't have to spin or entrepreneur you know ship journey so take your skills and just pass them on sort of you get how you know one aspect you know in other ways. because it's one thing you can give someone you know a loaf of bread you could give someone you know for a larger better metaphor you can give someone a fish for starving but it's actually more helpful to teach them how to fish after them. i have become a very large you can share and give all you want but it is better also themself to everybody here so you can get your old you know about it it's really important. what is the beauty and the struggle that keeps you my that keeps. you focused on. because you can right there is there is something about it when you don't grow up

with things and it when things are perfect i find that those of us who have gone through whatever we've gone through that that struggle whatever it is brings us together what's the beauty of this. is the people it's the people you know absent i know people who friends you know i'm a same people saddam others overdose at a scene. all of these things you get. into all of this you know people still found time to smile and laugh and have fun. best the type of energy that i need to be around you going to send people in through they've been suffering since they've been five years old. and they still find a smile and still find time to lead and give them sam with somebody else probably would have been blew their brains out by now so this is the people going to sam even being around my family members that they crazy give us all
