to carlin or the. ovoid clinton supporters of deep state members in the cia who are going against him. you know what every president has had to deal since there was a deep state or an intelligence community and that they started putting in you know barriers between each of these so that there was checks and balances and the president just didn't use everything as as his own up until this point his own sort of candy store it's it's almost as if they have no concept of what's actually going on in their departments when you're literally sitting there having an entire administration go it's lame that they're being mean to the president they're not pushing his agenda guess what that's literally not what they're supposed to do they are supposed to push back on things that you do and make sure that they're covered they aren't supposed to just be there as a as a candy store for you to go in and be like here just do all these and assassinate these people and do this but we'll do it privately you know great so that's exactly

who it's this is a private company has officials and employees are full of. veterans of u.s. covert wars and the reagan area. contra affair and recent actions in iraq and i get these are not nice people these are people who quite literally have it least every single one on one occasion has ended up in court on on the possibility of war crimes or war crimes adjacent. and who are some of these well i don't know who one of the news was that he borrowed on to kind of help pitch this apparently is all of a north from raleigh from the iran contra scandal you know he. according to scare you know and then he was brought in to kind of lend credibility that might help sell the efforts to the white house as you said it is going to be because this guy ari nor odio no longer represents the last it's so bizarre it is more throwing more of that actually represents the last time a president used like

a shadowy group from the cia you know the regular administration basically used north to set up. the secret unit to wage a covert war against nicaragua back in the eighty's despite congress saying that the administration could not spend any money on military intervention in the in the civil war of the central american that i did he was there was the iran contra rather he was selling arms to help out the contras and like all of that almost was thrown in jail for it got pardoned later and i believe you know you see this over and over again now but what's interesting is everybody is denying this everyone's all across the board americans everybody denying yeah erik prince actually said and in e-mails to the intercept he said that unequivocal you stated that i have zero to do with any such effort and saying that i did do would be categorically false knowingly publishing false information exposes you just have a legal action the only effort i've quite publicly pitched is an alternative to afghanistan oh gosh you wouldn't believe all the north american friends you know

the worst thing is. you know they're. we're going to cover two because national security codes this one from michael emerson told c.n.n. told c.n.n. that the white house does not and would not support such a proposal and could by no evidence of this ever came to their attention of anyone at the n.s.c. or white house at all so we will just have to hold our breath and find out if this is going to actually be something true however this year it was neither a person nor a winner of the reader's poll that took on the honor the honor went to the me to movement the cover and put it actually judd tale even supposed to symbolize the millions of idea but there's nothing really provide as after her age argento who had to flee for own country after speaking out were in the world is gretchen carlson who took down roger ailes they didn't even include did the me too movement a decade ago to rada burke missing is lupita nyong'o the only woman

to recuse r.v. weinstein and who took some of the most vile abuse from his team for it where is e.s.p.n. firebrand or actual and feminist warrior leslie jones that's the really i wonder how they managed to sidestep the winner of the reader's poll that's right the new what feminist male of the middle east crown prince of saudi arabia. yeah the guy allows women to drive allows them to drive and he gets twenty six percent of the vote. really time magazine didn't even list him in the runners up who were like donald trump. robert muller kimbra xion hoon calling capper dick and paddy jenkins it's as if the reader poll never really happened or maybe as often is the case the crown prince will get him and women around the world will again see a glaring example of the hypocrisy of gender a man who bombed and starved a nation gets praised while

a woman of color who spent a decade fighting for all of us to be able to speak out is relegated to the sidelines and that ladies and gentlemen is why we cannot rely on a mainstream media whether private or publicly funded to protect us to speak truth to us and to hold our abusers accountable and that over the walls is a great point because it goes back to that big problem any time little movement especially in the west and in the home of capitalism capitalism takes it over corporatism takes it over and says hey we're going to put on the people that can sell the magazine cover the best you know put those folks in there not taking away from those who put those folks on there rather than who should be right. in this all the people to put on the cover you put. three rich three rich white women and. a lobbyist and a white elbow and the i mean i'm sorry but taylor swift just not get to be on not

shouldn't be on that cover it's not that she didn't do anything for women this year but rose mcgowan the woman who star you know pretty burke these are people who should have been front and center why a lobbyist why this person in a white elbow seems ok and i cannot fathom how anyone would believe the suddenly believe that we're like hey great the oh the prince of saudi arabia are you this totally turned things around yeah that was one of the big things to the see him get this like lopsided our lives were known or they were said beating out white cap or nick and everybody you know they are going to do one or two or five percent he gets like four times more than anybody else i'll say it do i smell box i mean what. everyone talks about but it's all the time of smoke yeah i just mean it's weird for them to have announced it the way they did but he did win the reader's poll and then just i mean i'll say it i'm happy the need to move with the person of the year was theirs and i'm not and like i said already getting away from the good work that

the people are going to do no one's trying to say that no no no you know but there again this is that thing of like there's there's better people in the movement that maybe aren't as popular or as you know politically and culturally friendly you know but yeah there's that out right there and here's my thing about you know the prince . i mean there first of all the person of the year for time over the past in the past has been people it's not like they never put controversial people you know adolf hitler was there person of the here in one nine hundred thirty eight stalin in thirty nine and forty to go back to the us dollar and. khrushchev of the seven and the ayatollah khomeini in one nine hundred seventy nine so it's not always like good people or people who think but this is a person who is not the prince is not prince is not a moderate his not awoke salmon as he was just reportedly taking a billion dollar bribe to let corruptors go free so i don't know how i should feel

that the voters picked on the women. yeah it is shocking it is pretty girls i. think it's a very odd behavior every year will get them all right yes that's true maybe they can do better. let's listen oh say one thing for sure and since this a professor of history at yale had written a really great washington post piece and she made this point about why this whole thing why you know the princes it is a little odd even in those western governments and media outlets sing his praises the young crown prince is viewed domestically as in comp as an incompetent and corrupt ruler who hides behind liberalism tolerance and anti-corruption rhetoric so . far i don't know as we go to break card watchers told her good to let us know what you think about the recovery i'm facebook and twitter so your polls show there are two dot com coming up with welcome for both

waxman and girls back with all of them or just to discuss for the battle for this declaration drusilla has become real and real collusion on capitol hill stay tuned for. some corporations are levying taxes. on on table no taxation without representation worse my representation on amazon stock and less i get a commands or a share amazon stock to participate in the growth of this corporate takeover i'm under no obligation to fulfill this is yacht crunch based on. a play for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the super money kill you narrowness and

spending two hundred twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chance with. the base this morning. palestine is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos and then build a business should do it like you believe these in my complicity is going out on sunday oh maybe you do. you know john you just over there you should be the only palestinians who gets the most help from its jerusalem counterparts i don't think there is another those who in the world under the old vision didn't know when to do this. and that's design if you have noticed you have this lady of the messiah that

you have i don't want you to compete in the doesn't seem to do more than it was last don't put this sort of. thing. right back. in a move that some political shock waves across the foreign policy world present donald trump announced in a white house ceremony that the us government will finally abide by the jerusalem embassy act of one thousand nine hundred five by moving the us embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem and officially recognizing the israeli government's claim to the historic city as its capital but filling a major campaign promise long sought by both the religious right as well as the neo conservative wing of the republican party the announcement sparked an immediate wave of condemnations from many world leaders ranging from majority muslim nations western europe and even pope francis himself but what does this decision really

mean for the people of israel and palestine and how will it affect the future of the middle east to answer these questions and more we're joined first today by max blumenthal senior writer at alter welcome ochs good to be with you guys the floods are back so this unprecedented amazing day we're seeing media coverage like we saw today was a wall often end up not being the impact for a president now i want. you know where you are does this particular movie stand out to you in its significance will this have impact will this be a prosecutor will this actually kind of live up to a lot about hype that they're given i mean this is going to have massive impact on the ground throughout the region you know trump is poured fuel on the simmering flames and you know what he has done what we have to recognize is really the culmination of decades of bipartisan pandering to the pro israel lobby and israeli meddling to subvert american foreign policy you can go back to one thousand nine

hundred two two when bill clinton on the campaign trail attacked george h.w. bush for refusing to declare is real the cap to do declare jerusalem is israel's capital then in one nine hundred ninety five both houses both chambers of congress passed the jerusalem embassy act a man being the embassy be relocated from tel aviv to jerusalem and bill clinton refuses to sign it because he recognizes the kind of impact it would have on the ground barack obama in two thousand and eight declares it a pack in an act of just shameless pandering that dirty jerusalem is the undivided capital of israel and so what trump has done is use this bipartisan pandering as precedent for an actual decision which will have serious ramifications the first of which is to discount and finally discredit the united states as a broker in the middle east process the peace process the second ramification is to take the corpse of the dead peace process to more bun peace process and put it in

the incinerator once and for all which means the consolidation of recognition that israel is operating a singular unitary apartheid regime from the river to the sea and this will have implications across the globe. one of the things that we were just talking about saudi arabia and part of that the thoughts around that are that some sort of deal might have. made between jared kush and the trumpet ministration and saudi arabia about this before it's happening and i don't think any of them will care two bits about what actually happens to people on the ground so i'm wondering since you have been on the ground you spent time there what are the immediate effects that people will first of all you're right that there has there is a very special relationship between jarryd been so mine and the saudi crown prince mohammed cushion are there basically interchangeable figures came along with

benjamin netanyahu you have this axis from trump to riyadh to jerusalem and you've seen the israelis and saudis moving closer than ever before so what they're trying to do with this move is to basically eliminate the palestinian national movement just push the palestinian people aside so they can join together on what really unites them which is this camp this belligerent bellicose campaign against iran this obsession with iran but first they have to take care of the palestinians on the ground you have to recognize there are three hundred thousand palestinians in east jerusalem thirty six percent of the population they only receive fifteen percent of the services their entire neighborhoods in jerusalem that receive no services while its residents pay taxes to the jerusalem municipality so this is a consolidation of apartheid but more disturbingly what it will do is send a message to jewish israelis and jewish settlers that is true islam is theirs palestinians do not belong there and it will intensify the kind of vigilante

violence we've seen that can really heat things up on the ground i want to bring in waxman director bursaries middle east. i want to ask you with the move from you know recognizing mr druce limits as the capital of israel in regards to prime minister netanyahu you or your brace to this announcement is a victory for israel but what is the rest of israel's political world. you're right about this you know will this be seen as a whim of solidifies the political position at home or could it ultimately hurt. well certainly doesn't rule domestic consensus in israel out in paper all recognizing jerusalem is israel's capital that is something really across the board and costs all the major political parties the exception of the joining our list their support for but i don't think this is really going to do a whole lot to improve. his domestic situation he's facing

multiple indictments concerning two action allegations his popularity is being waning to some time among israelis that is and so he might get every domestic political boost from this but i think. what you see this is a take the few know first of all we have to look at the domestic base that trump is appealing to here sheldon adelson one of his largest of the embassy steve bannon was that a judge roy moore rally in alabama where he said jerusalem is the capital and christian zionists and timers in the crowd who really represent trumps hardcore base where you know cheering just getting really excited about that announcement so this is what it's about even though and i think doug pointed this out on twitter fifty three percent of americans actually oppose this move we hear verbal condemnations from the e.u. verbal condemnations from jordan pathetic milk mealy mouth statements from saudi arabia which could care less about the palestinians and you know whether or not they move their embassy to jerusalem what they are failing to do is impose any

costs on israel any consequences for a move like this which does away with the peace process that these governments of claim to care about for so long it would require actually sanctioning israel imposing costs on people who do business with the settlements refusing to resell it terribly and none of these government do it so they're just paying lip service and in in that sense it's a it you know they're sort of complying don't let me ask you you know what are you . it's going to be you know coming off the lakes was really an effective mediator palestinian president mahmoud abbas follows through with what he's talking about which is essentially something that many palestinians would hope just a not take this any longer not taking what those palestinians come to believe is really a waste of time and i think any way something that's undermines calloused interest so i think the peace process was already full intense it's dead but what if they thought it was true that. let me ask we've got about two minutes left to

get a minute from each of you if i can but let me ask you this you know we've seen now all the accusations about you know collusion with russia and like all of the things going on there between the trump you know ministration here but when you look at like you know the movements that have made recently in what came light of what the michael you know the michael flynn accusations and all that what he pled to looks like there's more collusion between like saudi arabia and israel with the trump campaign as you mentioned earlier the max than them with russia. you have today's announcement you know deep deep do you think the at and the news about you know. you know you mentioned that the peace movement probably not going to work out but do you feel there's more of a collusion on that side of things than. with russia. well i certainly to suspect that behind the scenes the saudis have been involved in this type of would be very very surprised if the saudis weren't informed beforehand i think the saudi public reaction today is really just paying lip service. have been reports that after

meeting with question of the saudis basically quote i couldn't possibly have and essentially told you what the terms of the trumpet ministrations peace initiative would be and that abbas had no choice but to accept those jobs or they'd find another palestinian leader who would do so so i'm certainly i think there was a lot of. suspicion here that this may be the prevailing to some sort of u.s. saudi. peace plan. which may involve essentially trying to force the palestinians to give up and he claims he's jewish i think that would be completely unacceptable to the palestinians and to much of the international community but given the maverick behavior if you like of the saudi crown prince and his somewhat reckless policy in the middle east this would be in keeping with lots of marks are pretty yeah i think that israel and saudi arabia have defined trump's policy towards the

middle east and these policies have had implications across the globe so of course these are the sources of real influence within the trumpet ministration but more broadly throughout washington and we've seen chuck schumer the senate minority leader the chief democrat in the congress say that he actually urged donald trump to make this announcement just charles schumer is you know heavily funded by the pro israel lobby so this goes this problem goes well beyond donald trump and beyond that it really highlights the importance of civil society initiatives like the boycott divestment and sanctions movement which really at this point is the only means to exert pressure on israel to roll back its seventy year campaign of apartheid against palestinians the peace process is over the united states as a broker is finished and we're now looking at a new chapter in the middle east who know that no matter. you very much for having a writer at ultimate thank you for coming five per cent of waxman director of northeastern university middle east center thank you so much for coming on

a bit giving us your highly highly interesting subject all right everybody about is our show for you to day member everyone in this world we are told we are left with a lot less watching those talks never great but. some want to do it before three of them will be. interested in the waters in the. well then you're in the minority sadly a great deal of media today is not designed to inform but rather confirm political biases this approach of the news is not only polarizing but it's also lowering journalistic standards this is why readers and viewers seek their news elsewhere. done some is not is not a quick place is not

a good country and. yes it is but mr philip bunch. of scum. is your best bet at this is the this is. the state of the culture. of the focus of this tragedy of christmas. holiness just for the embrace from the moment of oneself to be a little. mostly helpless franzl. play almost anything for the numbers for me based on logic and outright that john said and based on our last night no one can i do not believe that i would just write this contract mcnabb had on amanita. from a show. in fucking on the canal he was almost feeling now we could fuck him on a cool let's do this or to sort enough i was going to show you the suv i don't want to go to the cities in the my car forces in his or the one of the street. cinema

as. if. donald trump officially recognizes it jerusalem as the capital of israel the movie is already being fiercely criticized across the muslim and arab world. and the years of terror after that no longer holds any territory in syria the russian military says the group has been defeated there. plus after months of speculation president putin officially announces his bid for reelection in two thousand and

eighteen.
