no there's none of this stuff but at least. you look. good. coming up on our t.v. new revelations on that dirty dossier on trumpet and the origins behind it. and the warning for american airlines passengers the end of lacey p. finds a pattern of discrimination against african-american passengers then that some people worship one god others many or not but what if we began to worship artificial intelligence we'll discuss later in the show. good evening it's wednesday october twenty fifth five pm in washington d.c.
5:01 pm
i'm on your part bill you're watching r.t. america we start this hour with the revelation about the now famous dossier on donald trump and its true origin the hillary clinton campaign and the d.n.c. helped fund the research on trump which contained allegations of russian connections to the trunk campaign ed schultz has more on the story. the da ca was produced by former british intelligence officer christopher steele he was sub contracted and hired by fusion g.p.s. after fusion g.p.s. was hired by clinton campaign lawyer mark elias according to thor hall percent from the human rights foundation fusion g.p.s. is a smear firm hired to politically destroy people all recent claims he was targeted by fusion for work he did in venezuela under cover in corruption. the truth dossier funded by the clinton campaign in the d.n.c. contains salacious details about trump and his alleged connections to russia
5:02 pm
obviously a lot of the allegations within the dossier go to issues of either. coordination or collusion between the trunk campaign and the russians or the issue of potentially compromising material those general issues are very much within the scope of our investigation the mainstream media accused russian president vladimir putin and russian intelligence of having information on trump that would jeopardize national security and put trump in an uncompromising position even possible blackmail the kremlin consistently denied being involved in the dossier saying they had nothing to do with it. as the people who ordered these fake news stories like the ones that are circulating about the president elect fabricate them and use them for political means they're worse than prostitutes the da ca became part of the narrative used by the democrats claiming russian collusion the dossier also helped fuel the current investigations into russian meddling in the election trump fought back calling the
5:03 pm
dossier a fake news and even called out the networks and tonight calling the clinton funding of the dossier a disgrace they did it in. a . new york. so the boom due to the years. if you do and they gave those those will be the. fusion g.p.s. bank records under subpoena from house intelligence chairman devon newness show the connection between the firm in the clinton campaign and the d.n.c. . they had child joins me now to discuss this a little bit more deeply add to add you did a great job explaining with a very complicated story for some viewers why did you find that quote from adam schiff to be so significant well he still views the dossier as credible and there's
5:04 pm
nothing credible about it at all because it's a political hack job it was politically motivated it was all set up by the clinton campaign to destroy the opponent and for the clinton campaign to send surrogates out on the cables day after day referencing this dossier just goes to show how underhanded hillary clinton was throughout all of this and then she writes about it in her book like the semi six agent went out and discovered all this but she failed to tell everybody and reveal in her book where the money was coming from follow the money how can john podesta not know and the wiki leaks in mails showed tremendous communication between mark elias the campaign lawyer and of course john podesta a lot of a lot of communication how could he not know that elias went out and hired fusion to go get this guy how could put destine not know that they spent almost six million dollars in this kind of research project to trump it up and then they had
5:05 pm
surrogates go out and blame russia when russia constantly said we don't have anything to do with this we're not interfering that this is not our dossier this is not our material and this is so wrong all around and the political calculation of this for the democrats is they really need to distance themselves from the clintons which is something you've been saying for a while i think. and that's what that's exactly what i wanted to get get into is if you're the democrats now what do you do what their strategy we have to ask the question what's our future the question is is hillary clinton our future is brian fallon our future is the kid from virginia that ran our campaign the future i mean these people are tainted they're not honest they don't deserve to be in power and trump is now exonerated on our number of different levels by colin fake news fake news because c.n.n. m s n b c and fox news for a while all took at hope line and sinker that this was absolute gospel that the russians were involved well what do you think now and not once today on any of the programs as anybody said that well russia did not was not involved in this dossier
5:06 pm
and they were not they were not involved this was not their material this was bought and paid for by the clinton campaign after a republican who did not like donald trump gave up on the project and clearly the clinton campaign kept it going who cares who the republican is at least that's within their own party well funding they may have successfully done with the. damage relations with russia i mean like you say so much of this is about blaming this is that this is a you know a it the nail on the head this is part of the story that would be told in america this dossier has tainted relations further between the two superpowers and made it i think much harder for people on capitol hill to accept the fact that you know there are times where russia is not an adversary there are times when russia is telling the truth how can you argue with what vladimir putin said about that now that it's come out that it was funded by the clintons i just politics in this
5:07 pm
country is in a very sad state of this is the way we end up destroying people here you have the liberals in the conservatives at times squawking about citizens united what about this kind of politics to take there are new shows after new shows and hosts after hosts who. took this as gospel and ran with it as the quote breaking news it also that's the point it says so much about our mainstream media the fact they were able to accept this hook line and sinker just like every other part of russia gate i mean do you see this changing it seems like russia gate is falling apart before our very eyes and they're still running with it well is it changing let's go to the very top the buck stops at the top is a t.n.t. going to get rid of jeff zucker jeff zucker allowed his people to go out only air with unsubstantiated information reported to the american people in june of this hatred towards trump gin up the sacred towards russia make them the bogeyman and
5:08 pm
they couldn't prove it they took a paid political document and used it as a news story and use it as reference jeff zucker should be fired if anybody's got any guts on the border. they ought to check that call out well see if that if anybody takes up their call there and shelves host of the news with ed here on our t.v. airs every night at eight pm thank you so much. turning now to the middle east where ripples from trumpet rocking of the iran deal boat are still reverberating throughout the region earlier i spoke with investigative reporter gareth porter about all of this his latest article in the american conservative is titled trump trashes the iran deal to satisfy netanyahu i first asked him if he really believes the iran deal is at risk of being destroyed by president trump. it's possible that there's still some byplay here between the europeans the u.k. france and germany on one hand and the iranians but they're going to be subject to a lot of pressure from the u.s.
5:09 pm
government particularly financial pressure to get them to go along with continued sanctions it's hard to say how that's going to play out but certainly on the u.s. side trump was very clear we're going to demand the real revision renegotiation of some key things that additional at least one major additional provision that has to do with iranian ballistic missiles and of course that's simply not going to happen i mean we know that the iranians will never agree to renegotiate such fundamental issues politically it's impossible for them in any case and as a matter of principle they could do it and he said if they if the iranians don't go along with this if the u.s. congress and our allies don't arrange this the united states is going to exit from the agreement so it looks to me like the future of the of the iran nuclear deal is not looking very good at this point it also looks to you judging from your piece
5:10 pm
that this policy is a victory of some sort of foreign influence of our president trying to crack well exactly you know it's very clear that he made this decision after speaking with netanyahu in september. israeli prime minister has really prime minister benjamin netanyahu up to that point he appeared to be still subject to a parent consensus within his own set of advisors national security advisers to bring about a kind of a compromise which would continue to have the j. c.p.o. way in existence have the united states be part of it. and he seems to have reversed course very late in the game. after meeting with netanyahu and very clearly netanyahu had laid down the law we want the united states to either get revisions that we demand or get out and that's exactly he actually announced both
5:11 pm
he said we'll we'll get the revisions we don't through visions we'll get out and we know that this happened immediately after john bolton had called him. just before the speech we know that bolton had been meeting with sheldon adelson in las vegas when he called the president in the oval office and gave him language that he apparently used in his final speech laying out the idea that if we don't get revisions we want we will not be part of the agreement john bolton being president bush as a u.n. ambassador one of the most notorious war hawks in washington gary something you and i have talked about many times is this situation in syria were it seems the u.s. gulf and israeli objective term move president from power is impossible now the free syrian army which the u.s. backed to achieve this goal is now on the record as saying they would have won if
5:12 pm
not for iran that's according to a recent report does that have something to do with the u.s. frustrated towards the country well i don't think it's really about us frustration i think it could be israeli frustration because of the outcome in syria which is obviously a great disappointment to the israelis. but i do think that the real problem for the israelis is that they wanted all along that the u.s. government should have a military confrontation with iran and if possible get the united states to fight a war to carry out a airstrikes against iran that would whittle iran's power down to a much lower level that's that's been the israeli objective for many many years now and you know they didn't get it. under bush the u.s. pentagon the military cost cheney's efforts to bring that about they didn't get it obviously under obama but no they have hopes that possibly the way this plays out
5:13 pm
could could help them move back towards that object with about thirty seconds left trump kept everyone guessing about what he was going to do with respect to the iran deal and do you think he even knew himself what he was going to do into the last minute really this is now this is really the big question mark it does seem that trump has this quality as the decision maker that he changes his mind a lot and so it may be that some of his advisors thought they had him on board with a much more so shall we say moderate approach to iran policy and nevertheless after having met with netanyahu and hearing from john bolton and george cushion or who of course is whose family is very strongly supportive of the right wing likud policy in israel he changed his mind once again all right we'll have to leave it there unfortunately though you are always super informative
5:14 pm
investigative journalist gareth porter thanks so much. for the sentencing hearing for army sergeant bowe bergdahl began today after he pleaded guilty last week to desertion bergdahl is facing a life sentence in prison after walking away from his post and afghanistan in two thousand and nine in testimony today a former navy seal tearfully testified that a military dog with killed while on a mission to find burned all on that same mission the navy seals but he was shot in the leg injury that ended his military career however the defense argues bergdahl is case should be dismissed because of comments made by then presidential candidate donald trump into the thousand and nine he said bergdahl was a traitor and suggested he be thrown out of a plane according to bergdahl he spent five years caved and beaten and even tried to escape multiple. times before former president barack obama brought him back home in exchange for five taliban prisoners held at guantanamo bay. coming up on our team shocking findings and i say document leaked by whistleblower edward
5:15 pm
snowden well have the details after the break stay with. you guys i made a professional is powerpoint to show you how artsy america gets into the greater media landscape our team is not all right but we are a solid alternative to the. liberal or conservative and as you can see from this bar graph we don't skew the facts either talking have left these talking head righties oh there you go above it all to look at world r.t. america is in the spotlight now every really i have no idea how to classify as and it actually took me way more time than i care to admit people have got to know whether or not there present or support american people deserve to know the answer first at this point does it mean mr guard against the military industrial. we shall never know gold. or should know that. yet we do what we. think we.
5:16 pm
see. the mission of newsworthy 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. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one tells us what to cover how long to cover it or how to say it that's the beauty of war to your mouth we hear both sides we hear it and we question more. mark twain said it's easier to homeschool people and then to complain to them they've been fooled that could be why america is so divided because people have been. but corporate interests beat you down until you believe they're very. well here's a story. all week and it. will
5:17 pm
come back to our to america another bombshell leaked from former n.s.a. contractor and whistleblower edward snowden this time it involves saudi arabia's direct role in coronated attacks in syria but that's not all the unverified leak also reveals the united states knew about the attacks beforehand here's american with the rest of the story the syrian armed opposition was under the direct command of foreign governments the document reveals that the damascus attacks on march eighteenth two thousand and thirteen were directly ordered by a saudi prince been sold on who reportedly provided provided one hundred twenty tons of explosives and other weaponry to anti assad forces under the free syrian
5:18 pm
army umbrella also giving them instructions to quote light up damascus and quote flatten the airport of the memo also says that u.s. intelligence had prior knowledge of the attack three days before hand to be precise and not only that but the report states that the saudi government was quote very pleased with the outcome but it should also be noted that these attacks resulted in heavy clashes between the two sides let's take a look. it. but. it's also worth mentioning that by this time the u.s. already had a program to support the rebel forces and
5:19 pm
a two thousand and thirteen was also a critical point in the syrian war as this was precisely when the conflict spread from local areas to all call across the country and escalated into a full fledged civil war causing massive military and civilian casualties and now we haven't been able to independently verify these documents but if proven true the top secret intelligence memo will confirm that saudi arabia aided and armed insurgency that launched massive attacks on civilian civilian infrastructure as well as military targets for the goal of regime change. for his take on the latest leak let's talk to brian becker national director at the answer coalition and host of the show loud and clear on sputnik radio so brian how exactly did the saudis fit into that picture at this time when they directed an attack of directed the rebels to attack the syrian capital directed them and also arm them and finance them the saudis play a principal role here i mean saudi arabia's role in syria cannot be overstated
5:20 pm
first of all the kingdom had decided that the overthrow of assad was a top priority they were prepared to arm and fund all of the armed terrorist organizations including isis including al qaeda including all nusra front including the so-called moderate rebels who i think perhaps are mainly a fiction but but that said saudi arabia a principal u.s. ally the second biggest u.s. ally in the region after israel was instrumental to the to the promotion of the war we when we hear the rhetoric assad killed five hundred thousand of his own people as if all the people died because of the syrian arab army one hundred thousand syrian arab army soldiers in fact die many people will to the government die who was killing them we know now the saudis were in on it in a small way in a major way true not to understate the role of the saudis but perhaps even playing a larger role in all this were the qatari that's what i found so interesting about
5:21 pm
this leak as it seemed to kind of forget about that aspect the countries were really the ones mostly invested in the syrian moderate rebels well the cause of the qataris were big for us turkey was a major force i mean isis could not be what isis became without turkey so you have saudi arabia you have got there you have turkey perhaps the struggle that's being waged right now between got there and saudi arabia the falling out among thieves between these two royal families is helping to bring some of this dirty linen out into the public perhaps that's part of the story. the saudis were playing a major role especially at this stage when they seemed of loth to write it it's easier to come out and show the dirty laundry now that they've kind of walked back some of these programs because they failed they did fail failed miserably but let's also remember behind all of the loyal proxy forces funding the terrorists in syria was washington and let's remember president obama hillary clinton said assad must
5:22 pm
go that was in two thousand and eleven two thousand and twelve two thousand and thirteen and beyond during that entire time the cia set up in amman jordan a major coordinating center so all of these funding and military weapons shipments from saudi arabia got there in turkey could be sent to the rebels inside of syria so as all of the pieces of the puzzle are coming together we see not only saudi arabia but we see behind it the united states which was after libya after the destruction of the canal for you regime after hillary clinton came and said we came we saw he died laughingly about the lynching of a head of state they were so excited about the armed struggle in syria even though we know it's mainly al qaeda and al nusra in isis who are the main fighters it's an amazing level well you could say hypocrisy if you took the u.s. at its word but in fact the u.s. will use any force any human material to carry out its foreign policy objectives in the case of syria it was to carry out another regime change against an independent
5:23 pm
secular nationalist government and now they seem to be using a different group the kurds i'm wondering if you can talk about the stage now we've entered in the war where it seems yes assad's victorious but the united states is still in there with a pretty strong hand while the kurds are a tragic story because the kurds are a general are really a people with a distinct culture a distinct language they were denied a state as a consequence of colonial decisions at the end of world war one so you have kurds in turkey and syria in iraq in iran in the case of sea. area where the the syrian the syrian kurds were doing a lot of the fighting in heroic for going against isis like in co bonnie the u.s. saw them as the only indigenous force that the u.s. could actually partner with so we see the united states supporting the quote liberation of iraq by the syrian democratic front forces led really by the white b.g. the kurds what will happen at the end of the day will the united states be using and manipulating the kurds as they have in the past for its own designs i think yes
5:24 pm
i think what really drives washington right now is they have a permanent u.s. military bases in syria they can say were invading syria they have to say something else we're aiding kurds who are for you for freedom in other words always assigning imperial intervention with some noble cause so what happens next though does the united states really have the ability to assert itself further in syria it seems as though some deals been made or diplomacy behind the scenes is has that you know given turkey it's a little slice of the pie up in the kurds are still hanging on in iraq up but at the end of the day it's syria going to be syria like we used to know it that's the sixty four thousand dollar question certainly the assad government is committed to syria the historic syria syria the center or a part of the center the heartland of the arab world. the united states wants to partition syria it wants to create its own zone of influence there the russian
5:25 pm
government also has the position i believe because of the stance they've taken in kazakhstan in the in the standard talks that perhaps the u.s. is an indispensable part of a final settlement in syria what does that actually mean of course the russians realize the u.s. has imperial ambitions in syria the syrian government though does not want to make that kind of a concession to washington because it is the end of the syria that we knew all right brian becker national coordinator of the answer coalition you can also get more information from him on loud and clear that airs on. local d.c. radio correct between four and six pm monday through friday one o five point and everybody else can listen online all right thanks so much. an update now to the crisis in puerto rico the mayor of the island's largest city says a contract to fix their electric grid should be terminated lawmakers are calling for an investigation into the three hundred million dollar no bid contract awarded to a small montana company with direct ties to the trump administration. brings us the

5:56 pm
right now oh god the comedians are on the right side of things implying there's a wrong side so james courtney a comedian famous for singing karaoke in a car with hollywood insiders and the most overplayed an original gag ever if you ask me maiden raby jokes about someone and they have defended him because he's a famous comedian so he must be on the right side of things and important so you know i wonder how bay has going to feel about another right important comedienne who is now coming into his own sexual assault scandal louis c.k. he is the comedian who's that and conan o'brien scout a few days before the election last year and said if you vote for hillary you're a grown up if you vote for trump you're a sucker if you don't vote for anyone you're in a hole so clearly louis c.k. is on the right side of things too right joy i mean he called the majority of american suckers and they also for not voting for hillary so clearly he must be on the right side. but now it turns out that louis c.k. also reportedly likes to force women to watch him masturbate and he just made
