british intelligence agent steals research through an intermediary named marcie elias and his law firm perkins koyo and that this funding started as early as april twenty sixth and ran deep into october just days before the election now it is no known how much was paid to fusion g.p.s. specifically for the report but the post notes that the clinton campaign paid perkins quote five point six million in legal fees from june twenty fifteen to december twenty sixth that's according to campaign finance records and the d.n.c. paid the firm three point six million in legal and compliance consulting since november twenty fifth team all this essentially for any logical thinking person following these events puts even more of a strain on the already hanging by a thread of credibility of this magical report that has helped drive so much of the current mccarthyism that has gripped washington d.c. since trump's election because remember right now two of the biggest sources of

proof the rachel maddow is of the world point to for russian meddling is the steel rip the steel report and crowd strike were both directly or indirectly collecting checks from the d.n.c. in the hillary clinton campaign think on that for a second as we start watching the hawks. as. you know that i got. the. welcomer on the watching the harks i am tyrone and i'm top of the law and now here is ed schultz with an in-depth report. on the d.n.c.

clinton campaign funding of the fusion g.p.s. . the dossier 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 verson 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 obviously a lot of the allegations within the dossier go to issues of either. coordination or collusion between the time campaign and the russians 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 and you could go to the people who order 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 dossier a fake news and even called out the networks and tonight calling the clinton funding of the dossier a disgrace i think it was a disgraceful disgraceful that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to be so false and fake out. i think it's a disgrace and i say that and i say that and that's something that nazi germany

would have done and didn't do i think it's a disgrace. fusion g.p.s. bank records under subpoena from house intelligence chairman deborah newness of the connection between the firm in the clinton campaign and the d.n.c. ed schultz reporting for r.t. america. joining us now to discuss these revelations is the host of our teens the news that helps you on the on the actual have a. good wow all right so i'm going to start out there's been so many narratives bandied about i mean we've heard names your crowd strike and facebook and dossiers and steal what i mean i think people's heads are spinning at home trying to just keep up with where everything is out so let me ask you why is the d.n.c. funding you know this coming to light the d.n.c. funding of the steel report such an important piece of this ongoing puzzle because they were trying to create the perception in the minds of the american public that russia was behind all of it and that russia was the bad guy turns out the d.n.c.

was fun to get the clinton campaign was fun to get hillary clinton has given interviews since the campaign since the election was over saying that she was the d.n.c. that they didn't have any money that they were funding at all and so all of these comments are going to come back to roost on exactly what the democrats did their involvement in this dossier they basically tried to make it a credible piece to juxtaposition make the american people think that russia was behind all of this they had information on trump that was going to be very damaging going to be damaging to national security going to be damaging if he's president and there was just no stop to it. if a republican as it's been reported did start this out this investigation out well obviously there was competition over there seventeen people but when you get to the point of a campaign where it's down to two people it's party versus party ideology versus ideology and you were involved. foreign country and make the american people think that they're really the people behind all this i just think that scurrilous it's

really underhanded about it most definitely is into it there's something about it that themes are often the fact that in the l a lot of the hillary supporters are saying oh this is nothing we already knew the supporters that's the big thing is the clinton campaign sent surrogates out or md with this dossier saying this is the biggest bullet point you see trump's not fit trumps they know they go to target and he's colluding with russia in june did all out when they were the ones that funded it was going to take another look that's the thing is how damaging as a story for the d.n.c. there are a i mean it's like a leaky bucket at this point things coming out constantly they're running out of money there's two people that need to be interviewed on this story that i've run for cover donna brazil and john podesta now the wiki leaks e-mails proves that there was a lot of communication between desta and also mark elias the clinton campaign lawyer ari so you tell me that six million dollars went out the door to pay for

this quote research and this was all ginned up which a lot of it isn't true some of it may be but certainly it's not journalistically based it's propaganda against a candidate it's a smear technique against an opposing candidate they say well it's it's research wait a minute follow the money how could put destiny not know put desta had to know it he needs to come out and clarify that he did or did not know that this was taking place because they were sending surrogates out on the air saying this is gospel this is in trouble there's a dot ca and you know who's got it vladimir putin's got it they they said that russia had a dusty any on right you own donald trump and it was he shouldn't be president because of it there's damaging material there and then let's look at the person at the heart of all this hillary clinton you know where does this leave hillary clinton and her credibility because i mean she referenced them use the steel dossier in her book what happened writing the f.b.i. also because. investigating a dossier prepared by a well respected former british spy that contained explosive and salacious

allegations about compromising information the russians had on trial now i would say leaving out the fact that you were by announcing this apparent well respected former british writer in his research that's a pretty big gap to leave as you can tell me it's so to share because he doesn't really know is that these former candidate skinhead is what it is when they're writing books if it fits good just go ahead and do with it it's propaganda she paid for it a lot of it's unsubstantiated and here's the other cardinal sin in my opinion the networks took this hook line and sinker and ran with it as gospel as well and their managers allowed them to do that as well without fact check a good exactly what this was all about well he's former british intelligence it must be true that i mean that's the way it was presented to the american people and that he and it was. ok the one thing about the steel desk it was so strange it just basically looking at it is that it wasn't

a normal intelligence report there was no back up the phone you were talking about half of the stuff wasn't clarified there was no back up and information on any of the. you know claim losses and it's like hey great if this is true i'm not saying it's not true but when you tell me this great intelligence officer is doing this thing and he gives this what looks like a ninth grade book report sure and what better place for hillary clinton to go then r t america we know she can do interviews holy smokes we've seen are all over the boys will promote her book for a half an hour words longer she will give her the full twenty four hours of she once said to come on this network and explain how she forgot some of these details and did she know maybe she did know i think she did look somewhere this is the way they play the game and it's horribly unfortunate and it's put undue pressure on this president but also it is strange world. issues between two superpowers that

have made it impossible to sort of get anything done on that level which i as i've always thought i think hillary clinton's plan was i'm going to come and we're going to go out of the great walk out of a meeting with peace on earth and i did it and now you see that might have you know families that in a cycle of the last forty eight hours a republican senator come out and say that the president of the united states struggles with the truth and much of what he says is untruthful or what about hillary clinton what about the what about the d n c words donna brazil would she not know about it course we do know that she fed questions a hillary clinton against bernie sanders in the debates so there's there's crooks all over the place maybe that's why they call her crooked hillary has everybody to worry about you know this network has taken hits from the democrats there's a narrative on capitol hill don't go on our t.v. we don't cut microphones and we don't make stuff up ok but apparently the clintons do well and that's one of the things i want to get to before we got to go is after reading the post story former white house spokeswoman never thought i'd be quoting

him but ari fleischer actually tweeted hard to read this without concluding clinton campaign colluded with russia to interfere in u.s. election because we have to remember steele admitted to vanity fair that he used kremlin sources in his research you know a senior foreign research minister figure wouldn't this mean the democrats were colluding with russia to gammage their opponent which is just what they're are accusing like jerde kirshner of their taking that really all right if you gave money to russian any russians especially people are close to the kremlin and supposedly quite close to couldn't you had to steal had to bribe somebody to get information and you gave him that money why is that where is the disconnect well as the great broadcaster of years ago said paul harvey now you know the rest of the story. there are so many facets to this and so many angles will be books written about it will be researched but let's cut to the chase to what we do know. that russia did not have the dossier on donald trump that is the biggest there came out

this week holds always a pleasure to be on thank you so much for coming on q all right as we go to break watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our poll shows at r.t. dot com coming up sean stone sits down with british historian and investigative journalist tony gosling to discuss the narrative behind the narrative of north korea stay tuned for watching the. plate for many flips over the years so i know the game inside guides. football

isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money killed today alone as in spending city to twenty million. people it's an experience like nothing else going to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful day. great so what chance with. the base it's going to. what's happening with our. very close to genocide. and it's unforgiving and it should be immediately rectified and remedied where i think she stands at the moment is that if she would to condemn it she would be alex and immediately she would be put on a plane. and then the hopes that people have placed in her would be lost. to

easing. a hoax it's a joke it's death monetization it's a prelude to hyper inflationary currency that is the us dollar collapses. and the modern era of the twelve hour news cycles in one hundred forty character diplomacy and one may very well wonder who benefits from a generation of distracted voters and news consumers while the mainstream media spends days analyzing whether or not the president actually declared war on little rocket man vs twitter feed surely something more ominous is actually happening

behind the scenes that the powers that be would rather us not notice right while one convincing thesis is that the modern military entertainment complex as playing mesh shell game with us to hide the alarming state of our world economy or perhaps its own hidden agenda for changes on the korean peninsula to discuss just how this nuclear standoff has devolved to its current state and what we really should be paying attention to johnstown was joined by british historian and investigative journalist tony gosling first of all kim jong il is obviously getting help with miniaturizing nuclear owns that's what he's doing this summer and so it's going on i'd like to hear a little bit more from the mainstream press investigating that but most importantly it's obvious what needs to happen these cities to be no excellent series of invading north korea that needs to still and then perhaps we will have an agreement from the north koreans to stop escalating the nuclear program this is just common sense and i don't understand why. the major people around the world and the

mainstream press don't just simply put these calls that me to the various leaders concerned because i think that's what everybody wants the other thing is is is this is a big distraction away from effectively a war which is being waged on domestic populations now here in the west and it's not a sort of jack boots in the street type war it's much more of an economic war the whole idea of austerity is i mean it's just appalling it's there is actually i think a spiritual dimension to it and it's not just economic misfortune this is an attack on people's freedoms you know there's a spiritual dimension to war and to the whole struggle sex abuse scandal i think you know kind of normalizing abusive relationships by governments on people in the west and things like north korea capture the headlines get everyone distracted from engaging in the political process at home to get rid of these abusive politicians we've got in the west because you've got very little real choice in how democracies

we only get so you know it's it's blue the bully on the left or the bully on the right what is it you actually think north korea is working to do i mean we certainly know that they have a spy longstanding relationship with china as well as russia in the old days to a certain extent but what is north korea actually trying to achieve in the situation. they just want they want to be invaded they don't want regime change you know this is one of the races one they've decided and oxidize being threatened permanently now and i don't think it's true to say that the tensions have been ramped up since the last couple of years because if you go and talk to people at the university of guam they'll tell you that they were used to this sort of silly rhetoric from or some silly i mean he's threatening nuclear war rhetoric from from the north koreans saw it thanks kind to happen quite a bit but they're not used to it from the united states that that's new trump has really upped the ante by talking about wiping wiping out north korea this kind of

thing like there's any only one solution these kinds of threats but again like i say it's a distraction really if we've had a complete collapse of capitalism since two thousand and eight capitalism diet right if people don't realize that they need to realize that now in two thousand one ever since the whole dodo of the economic system has been being propped up you know virtually a civil suit look at two dimensional screen now rather than anything really meaningful to the dodos been propped up by cons to be easing this is just printing money out of nowhere and injecting it into places which will help make it look like there's an illusion of some capitalism still working but it isn't we need to really be thinking surely you know right across the atlantic i'd like to propose a new special relationship across the atlantic really to look at a post count of this world because this law is coming down like a house of cards and we need to be ready for that we need to have our vision sorted for you know kind of i suppose money tree reform is obvious mantra form for

a post industrial world and a post kept in this world where resources is shared out fairly and we got social justice so you know i think that's really what's behind a lot of the same to rattling i'm not sure that there's any real likelihood of nuclear war although of course that is a possibility i think when you get elites who are really. only age i mean nice to say that it looks like the saudi's crumbling the mainstream media failing to convince people anymore and at that point i think that there might be a lashing out of some sort but certainly the crash is coming whether war two is another question we talk about the austerity programs and be implemented certainly in the us we see it in a different form we don't have that level of. that he said that we haven't seen austerity from the government as much as we've seen in the last loss of people's overall assets and net worth we've seen a lot of sort of stagnation and say going back to be even preacher thousand and

eight but certainly post two thousand has been very stagnant for many people but what is the austerity looking like in europe. well certainly in britain it's is it's fair to say is pretty worsening of the pulse here in greece and spain have been pretty awful but what's happened is we've had an economic collapse that is to say most of the people who are employed in there of course millions and millions who are employed cannot get work most of those who are at the bottom half are simply not i mean they going out to work every day but the simply not enough money to make ends meet i mean it you know yes you can just about maybe pay the rent but you can't have a life on top of that and you need money to have a life so i think this is really a deliberate deliberate thing we've got this thing at the moment in britain being introduced called universal credit i remember when they first talked about this a few years ago it was it was talked about as a kind of something from a cycle i film the kind of futuristic money system where the state or the system tells you how much money you've got and you have to just kind of trust them i mean

they're moving away from any kind of idea of giving people something of real value and it's just basically a chity on a little screen somewhere and of course we move to all the tools and training money stopping checks this kind of thing stopping you so that it means that people can be just cut off like that you know any boy. he can just suddenly find i might my money's not working it's very out the banks have got a lot of power and they've been taking it away from governments who simply haven't been using the ability that they do have if they can be bothered to start to regulate properly the money system i mean we've got effectively the banks as i think are a kind of feudal only god he really is the kings in the juice of the old days and they are not subject to any of the laws that we are they way above the law they can always do what they want we've seen no prosecutions except one just a few months ago one guy from barclays a senior nco i over catarrh and that was just a side issue really to the saudis and the americans and the british having

a cat so you know this this cease it's not a realistic situation lauren order is really working for the super rich bot will be seen as will stare at sea for everyone else so it's getting i suppose it's it's like a kind of normalizing abuse really that's what's going on and enforced destitution and literally kicking people out in the street we've heard recently about this universal credit bringing in here causing something like twenty thousand forcing twenty thousand families with children into poverty and yet the government still trying to press ahead with it anyway so we need to obviously move beyond that because we've got have you see governments at the moment and you know that's no good now trump is calling for more nuclear weapons presumably for potential threats from north korea meanwhile he's talking about destroying the nuclear deal with iran the same time that we have congress and others pushing for more escalation against

russia who's considered other enemy it seems that the enemies are all around is this really does fueling the overall agenda of the military industrial complex in the bankers that finance it. yeah of course it is and actually those are the real feudal barons and this i think is the big betrayal of our generation sure it's the mainstream media we're in i don't know about another pulse of the world but in britain it started here really in the one nine hundred eighty seven the fancher with the sacking of a guy called honest i'm milne is the b.b.c. director general who sound seamus milne is now the labor party director of communications but by getting rid of him and at the time it was done by victor ross child with the cooperation of margaret thatcher the the media has really become like it's becoming like sort now it even since two thousand and nine eleven even worse it's becoming like the spearhead of the war machine the big lines of spirit

out by mainstream press in the west whether it's somebody is killing their own people whether it's a sarin gas attack the supposed to be from one side but actually it's not it's from another side or perhaps it's actually just a confected video which has been made up with millions of pounds that the pentagon has been spending giving the money to bell pottinger i mean we just don't know nowadays what to believe in this is echoes very very strongly to me of the beginning of the second world war at nineteen thirty nine the excuse that the nazis had for invading poland was this thing called the gleiwitz incident where what they've done is they've got a lot of polish people and they dress them up in polish i think there were concentration camp victims within germany anyway but well it is a dress them up in polish uniforms and gave them lethal injections many of them and then just photograph them in i german base in germany and they said oh these polish soldiers be invaded us even the new york times shoe and printed that story and said

oh isn't it terrible the poles been by germany they're going to have to you know invite them back some is going to have that and so the excuse that was used to kick off world war two the with the invasion of poland was also i didn't and abetted by the new york times in the mainstream press so i think that's back where we are now and it's easy if you're really trying to expose like i someone who's worked in the mainstream press the see just how guy asked empresses. science especially an area like marine biology can often be fuelled by the simple fact that human beings have only explored five percent of the ocean that's right five percent which is why the impetus for a new study about the rare an elusive arctic jelly frist from columbia university is lamont already earth observatory was sparked because as rich researcher indy's will put it we saw them and it was kind of weird the arctic jellyfish has no brain blood or nervous system no eyes can reach over eight feet in diameter with tentacles up to one hundred twenty feet but what's weird is not just because

they're rare and we've got these photos but because up until now it was thought that the extra large cryos or a melon astern jellyfish didn't survive past adulthood it was assumed that they went into a cocoon like masses called polyps that clung to rocks and released baby jellyfish in the spring but adult arctic jellyfish were thought to only live for a few months the videos and studies suggest that the arctic ice may actually allow them to live for years which makes the arctic jellyfish the new methuselahs of the day out of those are huge joey fish by the way hundred twenty foot tentacles eight feet in diameter and the researchers one of the fun thing the researchers said is they were asked like as a poisonous could you know when you have a problem if you said i don't know nobody swims down somebody is moving and over that we are going to be organisms that are going around that's how they didn't know but it's interesting that they had no idea it's also interesting the mona i want to know is true is that we know more about the surface of. them we know about the

surface underwater yet our own planet and i wish that we would take the time to study more because that is true we are living part now of our world it's part of it's all of our structures for food and everything else and this helps us understand those those things more of we believe already that is our show for you today remember of one of this world you're not sold your most of them. or tell you all i love you i am. on top of the wallet watching those hawks out there have a great day and night everybody.

i'll go. they. give me no must is this sunday i'm not to run intentional. but be theo i know there's no subtlety by the spirit of openness i'm just a. bit . yeah use on the shelf approach the sunday times not want something to go much but i feel a lot of the behind of the out. on the she does the ground she don't need the militiaman got a real. killer then i'm up into it is the food out of this not so be this not be but i mean. did. get delivered i'm with.
