was misleading because he maintains that puerto rico is still at risk for calera again making it sound very urgent and scary but the c.d.c. itself even tweeted on that same day that they don't anticipate calera cases in puerto rico because of the hurricane they also clarified that they don't expect to see it in the u.s. virgin islands site their political fact reached out to cruelty to ask him where he got this idea that calero was indeed being reported and he said that he saw it in a tweet from kurt eichenwald a liberal commentator and contributor to vanity fair eichenwald had tweeted the day before cases of calera now being reported in puerto rico i can't believe this is america we're too incompetent or uncaring to get them water that fake news tweet was retreated more than thirteen thousand times so it's a classic case of not a calera outbreak but big news outbreak caused not by dirty water but by the dirty media rushing to bash the president political factors rated christie's claims as

faults but i rate it as pretty despicable. where you are watching our two of our worst you're the fore. guys i made a professional in powerpoint to show you how artsy america it's been for the greater media landscape. you're all right but we are a solid alternative to the. liberal or conservative and as you can in this bar graph we don't skew the facts either talking at lefties talking at righties oh there you go above it all look at world r.t.

america is in the spotlight now. have no idea how to classify as and it actually took me way more time than i care to admit. the bold action i'd be ip camp tonight i talk with investigative journalist max blumenthal he's a senior editor for alter net's grey's gray's own project and a new york times bestselling author he's written three books and is the co-host of the moderate rebels podcast as well he's also one of my favorite writers in the second half all be talking about our military's brand new laser weapon because it's time we have. bigger better weapons to get the job done but first here's

my conversation with max. max thank you for joining me good to be with you good. we're going to do it we're going to get through a lot of stuff you've been talking about how america's views on russia and north korea have basically flipped or changed a lot over the past two years talk a little about that and also does that basically just proves what we kind of know about manufacturing of consent with our corporate media yeah i mean we've seen a disturbing series of polls through the chicago council for global affairs. that were first released this. and they continue kind of tumbling out and these polls you know this this institute has been conducting these kinds of public opinion polls for two years and what they show is that on north korea seventy five percent of americans including seventy five percent of democrats believe north korea is a critical threat to america to the american homeland those numbers are up fifteen

percent since two thousand and fifteen fifteen percent more americans than ever before since two thousand and fifteen support military action against north korea to protect south korea and then even more shocking is for the first time a majority of americans would favor according to these polls sending u.s. troops to fight and die for latvia against russia you're never like the neo con victoria nuland who's married to robert kagan from the incestuous neo-con kagan family she said in two thousand and fourteen americans will fight and die for latvia and that was wishful thinking at the time but since then these attitudes have basically been cultivated consent has been manufactured for what would be nothing short of a nuclear disaster in either case i mean you're going to see millions of people die and how did this happen i just think one of the giveaways in the polls is that way more democrats i mean we're talking about it rates of ten percent higher more than

independents and republicans favor these militaristic policies remember the bush era when democrats were against war these attitudes have been completely flipped the bottom has fallen out of any anti-war movement and again this is proof of a manufactured there was a time of of anti-war sentiment to some degree among the democrats in congress at least there were a few as that just does go on and where did that go yeah i mean i remember ted kennedy who is sort of they call them the lily in the lion of the senate he got up and said that bush had established an archipelago of. gulags across iraq and that he was you know he was one of the most strongest denunciations i've seen of torture and of the war in iraq in general but actually if we look. to an earlier stage in the war it was really a lone voice in the senate robert byrd who was screaming why is this chamber empty everyone who's watching this right now should go back to that robert byrd speech

he's standing in an empty chamber this is the senior senator from west virginia wondering why no one else is clamoring for more investigation of iraq e m d's and demanding proof and then byrd predicted that america was inviting. a generation after generation of blowback and hellfire from this war and that's what makes this idea of the resistance democrat so laughable they they voted to continue unlimited military force for trump just recently just last week or something and they voted ninety eight to one to confirm general mad dog mattis so there's no resistance against the war powers i think barbara lee who was the lone opponent of the original a math was the only one of the only people to vote against it again so you know what is there resistance there is this dance is first of all it's a an abuse of the term resistance. and there was

a real resistance but that's been wiped away what this is is the one party state the bipartisan foreign policy consensus in washington around interventionism expanding nato regime change and sort of a neo liberal policy back home converging against trump and his america first agenda and so you saw figures like max boot the neo con militarist who's never met a war he didn't like actually appearing in hillary clinton's campaign commercials you remember hillary clinton's all right speech where she linked trump to the all right i thought you know it's a pretty good speech like pretty interesting we're talking about whites. supremacy in the republican party and then she said there are honorable republicans like john mccain and she starts running down the list of the kind of ultra militarist quads i moderate republicans and she said i'll welcome them in my campaign so that was really the birth of the resistance and it's no surprise that the resistance has cohered around a narrative that doesn't really focus on trump's racism his corruption his

extremism it focuses on his supposedly collusion with russia so it's an interventionist narrative well that's a good segue into the continued neo mccarthyism the russians out to get us narrative being pushed by the corporate media the latest talking points is that rush got from elected by a family is facebook advertising here. a little of that it you know just facebook brought us trump via these russian ads well we're interfering right now just by being here i mean anything is interference now i mean how can you quantify these ads what are these ads we watched today the senate intelligence committee mark warner and richard burr on the republican side declare that these ads were sort of potentially decisive we've seen reports from their media lapdogs who are getting leaks of the details of the contents of these ads that we can't see the ads and they say that for example fake facebook accounts that promoted this is dylan byers

and c.n.n. he said that fake facebook accounts that promoted protests in baltimore and ferguson against police brutality were designed by russian operatives to undermine democracy which means that black lives matter is effectively undermining democracy i think those protests are fundamentally democratic you saw another report about one of the ads that showed a black woman with a gun and it was designed according to the cancun gresham investigators to so racial division and chaos so any image of a black woman with a gun which up. that's white people is designed by russia to sow division and so just don't show any black women the idea that a movement to stop unarmed black people from being murdered in the streets by our police is there for a movement to bring down america i mean but they're basically saying that america is defined by our need to kill unarmed black people with our police but

also you fill in the numbers of the percentage of ads that like one even before the election according to facebook's own statistics which they provided the congress fifty six percent of the ads appeared after the election so i don't know if there's some time travel machine but there's a time travel machine but there's no way that they could have affected the election then twenty five percent of the ads were never seen by anyone and a majority of the ads were never deployed in swing states then we've actually seen reports that some of the ads were related to poppies they simply contained images of puppies what it seems to me to be the what this looks like to me is a russian troll farm in st petersburg or something that may have been paid by a private client who was using hot button political issues along with poppy images and other things we haven't seen to generate clicks from niche audiences and this is how facebook sells its ads there is no evidence whatsoever of russian operatives

pushing any clear ideological line which is why we hear this narrative of so in chaos because the ads are all over the place and that's the only way they can justify this narrative and then the other point i would make is that we have heard this narrative before about russian collusion and the black and black equal rights movements i mean we heard about it in the fifty's and sixty's when we used to destroy paul robeson who was one of the greatest human beings that this country ever produced and it was used to attempt to destroy martin luther king who is accused of colluding with the soviet union and this is what justified f.b.i. surveillance i am sure that this narrative will be used to heighten surveillance of dissident movements like black lives matter and you know people who are involved in that movement better see this for what it is before it's too late. yeah i mean this is being used in so many ways this this is mccarthyism want to whine you take

something you don't like and you just say it's attached to russia you know and if occupy were going on right now that would surely be a russian ploy and you know they have they have tried to connect it to the burning movement which is you know also on facebook and and things like that so it's just you take everything you say oh it's russia and it's used to justify so many things also our election system is being taken from you know local governments and put in the hands of department of homeland security it's it's just used to justify everything well d.h. has actually did scan elect election systems during the you know at the end of the campaign on election day this seems to me to be illegal activity they're scanning it for the ability to hack it at the same time we've seen a false story about twenty one states scanned by the russian government for election hacking and all of these this story is completely falling apart texas california wisconsin their secretaries of state have said this is totally false russia didn't do it but we know the d.h. as did do it so who planted that story d.h.s.s.

i mean it's a perfect way to deflect. to deflect your own wrongdoing and then back to the facebook ads what was hillary clinton's biggest failure i mean we can point to so many but at the end of the election campaign she wasn't in michigan she wasn't in wisconsin she wasn't putting ads there so we saw just yesterday trending on twitter russian facebook ads and what was the when you click on it what's the story c.n.n. rolled out another leak from the intelligence committee russia planted facebook ads in wisconsin and michigan it's designed to paper over hillary clinton's failures and it's her allies in congress mark warner in the senate and madam schiff in the house who are doing it. and also it's laughable because the amount of actual influence on facebook that cambridge analytic i had funded by robert mercer who've also funded trump is. like four out paces any of these small face forget but i've got like three minutes left i want to move on real quick to israel because you've

done such great work on israel in the past you've been to gaza and one of the prominent talking points of the israeli government is this idea that has a blog will do anything to wipe out the jews they hate all jews is that when you're found i mean if you just look at the situation now the syrian civil war is over isis is being defeated and the syrian government is moving back into control of its own territory it is an ally of iran and it has worked hand in glove with hezbollah lebanese political and mill and militia group to reestablish control from these jihadist groups hezbollah basically saved lebanon from being overrun by al-qaeda and isis and so israel's very disturbed about that because hezbollah and iran are the and syria are the only groups left countries left putting up resistance to israel hezbollah basically defeated israel in two thousand and six war and they're saying they're attacking them they're provoking them constantly they're saying

we're troubled that isis has been defeated and that iranians allies are moving back in and so on us are all of the spiritual leader of hezbollah fears that israel could initiate a war and he issued one of the most remarkable addresses i've seen from any middle eastern leader appealing directly to jews across the world to stop the next war that is real wages now when we hear benjamin netanyahu address jews he's urging them to support war then you have hoss on us rolla calling on jews appealing to the humanity of jews calling on them to stop war and this explicitly drawing a distinction between zionism and judaism and that's really remarkable because it's the anti semites who conflate judaism and zionism and it's actually the zionists who conflate any opposition to them sell. as with anti semitism so they're basically doing the same thing awesomeness rolla has really separated the two and i

mean as a jew who is anti zionist i think that's what a lot of jews who are on the fence need to hear is that there are elements in the middle east who understand i think that might be nice you are right now yeah i just i just gave in and i just gave him the talking points it's all good. it's going to it's going to go on and so it's gone but all right well in these last thirty seconds or so in terms of syria israel just wants chaos and that's just good for them yet they would hate a stable and strong syria you know this would allow syria to begin again pushing for negotiations for the occupied golan heights which is syrian territory that israel controls and the israeli strategy ever since its inception has been to keep all of its neighbors fighting among themselves and as weak as possible and that's really worked in every case except we actually saw in syria particularly in east aleppo in two thousand and sixteen that one of the greatest defeats of the empire

since the fall of saigon and this is terrifying to israel thank you max so much i'm sorry we couldn't get to more but i really appreciate it thanks a lot if you go to a quick break but this week i put out web exclusive videos on the insanity coming out of m s n b c as well as the end of penance movement in catalonia spain get those by some scribing for free you tube guy call pleasure and jack tonight i'll be right back with more. the.

the mission of news with you is to go to the people tell their side of the story our stories are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media in this country can say that the average viewer knows r.t. america has a different perspective so that we're not hearing one echo chamber that mainstream media is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one tells us what to cover how long the coverage or how to say that's the beauty of archie america. we hear both sides we hear from both sides and we question more that. not letting anything get in your way to bring it home to the american people .

welcome back so i recently happened upon so ridiculous fox news trash reporting and i realize that's not saying anything surprising that's like saying it's like finding out your ex-girlfriend told somebody about your unmanageable hair you might be annoyed but you can't be that surprise. she hates my guts the least she could do and i'm lucky she didn't kidnap my cat and just chuck it out her car window on the four zero five it's almost nice of her to leave it at the hair anyway i came across some some vomit journalism on the old fox news and it's a written article it starts out silent invisible deadly and i saw that i thought oh whoa they've finally wrote an article about how our fast culture of unfettered capitalism infests our minds it with the need to to eat and own and

possess everything on the planet or else we're not happy and of course that's impossible to achieve so none of us are happy we just feel ourselves with with antidepressants and loll ourselves to sleep with the new season of house of cards hoping it doesn't suck as bad as we know it's going to suck. wow they wrote an article on that as. you go no they didn't turns out it was about military lasers so i was a little off. the powerful of pheno laser weapon can destroy enemy targets within seconds it just destroyed five outlaw drones they have no laser weapons yes i add or no if you realize it but our military has been aching for new and exciting weapons because we've really added tough time besting the

opposition we've always been struggling out there you know in all those one on one fights we've had with dude's in flip flops in afghanistan they they they keep taking down our fighter jets with their sling shots they get the right sized pebble in there and they had that after twenty two is. if there's one thing they have in spades in afghanistan it's public this year was a bumper crop for stones and rocks over all sorts in the caves of the past tomb region so we are screwed but anyway where were were two sentences into this article and just think about how awful this propaganda is first of all there's sheer joy they have in new and discussed in weapons designed to kill human beings as if we don't already have nuclear weaponry to destroy the order of several times

over you what you go by the way you're gonna be able to do it several times over because what if you destroy the earth and now because your out of bombs russia gets in and destroys it the second time before you you get a chance no no no you got it you've got to be ready to destroy it the earth first and then at least three more times so you can get in there you know one of you don't want to be last to destroy the earth again. but this article is also assuming these lasers will be used to destroy enemies but what's an enemy well according to our drone video of the according to our drone video footage it's often like a grainy image of black and white grainy image on the ground with a gate we don't like like a like a stride a store a terrorist

a gate a british intelligence document on targeted killing in afghanistan describes monitoring a fixed location and then tracking any persons moving away from the location the documents planes and other visual indicators may be used to aid the establishment of positive identification including district descriptions of clothing or a gate this is to bomb somewhere to target to bomb someone you could be blown away for the way you walk use yours to ride it so even if we can vaporize them with our new lasers that number could just be a guy who is walking funny because he has a hemorrhoids has a worse when you have ambroid is all it she and then you turn to vapor by america's new sky laser as a worst day ever we are we have lost our minds but the point is

anime is a subjective term right maybe it's just some guy trying to defend his hometown from the invading military force maybe it's a child standing next to his father there's fox news or any of our corporate. media ever analyze what anime really means. this piece of filth goes on to say that the united states thanks to pioneering efforts of american companies like lockheed martin and the military laser weapons are no longer the stuff of star wars and star trek. was the main laser weapon in star wars known as the death star that was the bad guys was during the evil empire and you're proud of it this is almost literally just an advertisement for lockheed martin and u.s.

military weaponry but it but i want to give go on here they call it a pioneering efforts well that sounds quite good right there making it sound good pioneers lead the way to the future but it depends on what you're pioneering hannibal lecter was a pioneer for the way he could cut skin off a human being it was really really really pioneered a new recipe for the human liver pâté one of the innovator you could pioneer all kinds of things yeah she was she was a real pioneer when it came to our were uncomfortable sexual moments somehow we both ended up crying and sore in the morning she was a real inventor of all of maneuvers that were awkward and in this case they're acting like it's good to be a pioneer for ways to murder other human beings most of them innocent civilians

which we have a lead the way for a long time now. we have our super bowl champs of inventing new and exciting ways to murder people not even the british royalty of medieval times has anything on us sure they had drawing and quartering in iron man as the tar and feathers and stuff but we have white phosphorus and naipaul agent orange and sound cannons now lasers then we're just getting started we are they'll have been g.'s awful horrible back away children that the artists do their work athena advanced test high energy asset is one of the most exciting of these new american laser weapons by comparison the weapons of any enemy will look like posed in arrows oh good reference the utter genocide we perpetrated

towards the native americans at a letter i get everyone on board at all then will seal the propaganda deal rather like good after that cleansing to get everyone geared up for our new toy from the pentagon that says this is good business sense it is that goes for everything for military weaponry. venger action figures for the kiddies compared to the new thor and spiderman figurines friends toys oh well look like the n.b.a. and after we hit it was small pox blankets you know your friends up it's just good it's good business that's all of us look this article is the saddest worst kind of war propaganda pro-war propaganda the let's celebrate our awesome weaponry while others die horrible deaths kind of bullshit that some people actually believe is journalism this looks as much like journalism as the beef in taco bell looks like

a five star steak. five is that how you rate food i'm not i'm not a foodie gallia i only know what the rating system is a like three thumbs up or two salad for a four x. or seven out of a possible juicy farts whatever the scale is but this trash actually does impact people this article things like theirs and by the way there is nothing coming out of the other side right there other point of view please please point me to fox news or c.n.n. or am as n.b.c. is pro peace propaganda pro peace biased reporting where they celebrate a general who didn't pull the trigger it is joan drone pilot arthur blank ouster he's in charge of drop in the drone bombs for a little cubicle in a military base and he has refused to pull the trigger once in the past a wink yeah he feels that sending our risk id min's down on villagers and syria is

it really isn't really helping the situation so he just keeps not pushing the button he's our c.n.n. piece warrior of the week yet please point me to that report you know you know where it is the loads of aggressive piece propaganda that's all the time i have but if you want to find out about all of our web exclusive video just back to the word redacted to four four four nine nine nine it's free and quick also you can now watch redacted tonight on direct t.v. channel three two one good night keep fighting. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest race in truth to stand down the news business you just need as the right questions demand the

right answer. questions. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories that are critics can't tell and you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth 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 public 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. thank you thank you. thank you greetings and salutations after the initial impact of tragic attacks like the one in las vegas there's always an argument about what would we should be arguing about whether it's gun control or security discussions were guarding the prevention of future attacks make people uncomfortable but are we really that resistant to making change in order to save lives is it really such a stranger an ethical thing to do are we un-american without guns or laws that require certain rules and restrictions to be followed.
