al qaeda affiliate later they swapped sides figuring i saw flavor terrorism was more to their liking when i reached out to the washington post's beirut bureau chief about her tweet disputed the fact that she ever gave praise to the man or his so called journalism i dispute that they gave grace to the join a list or his journalist i pointed out that standing up in the field and continued to talk well explosions or go north all around you is brave. she still admires is bravery though the mainstream media has a history of becoming in chanted by jihadi affiliated want to be reporters take bilal abdulla karim the story teller when it came to the battle for aleppo people executed it's as simple as that what can i do here in syria blend in the crowd i don't think so am i going to turn my so over to regime forces absolutely not so what that he's giving a platform to a suicide bomber right at least he's taking all the right boxes they say you have

to protect human rights. they support the terrorism so how on earth. of course it's human rights supporters of that's that's the bottom line of the hippocratic the have double standards. if this happens in the u.s. the mainland would be accept terrorists to be available terrorist organizations and to to say the they have good cause of course not the mainstream media has a habit of putting itself on a journalistic pedestal getting the facts right giving balance and using trusted sources but those standards appear to be selective and only if the story fits the cover. down of. having to germany worry children's t.v. channel their house cause controversy by earning a documentary about the relationship between a syrian man and his german girlfriend critics say it fails to challenge the

repression of women. stuff i cannot wear short things always long things because i cannot accept my wife looking like this this is very difficult for me and for arab men in general i do not like other guys talking to my girlfriend she belongs to me i belong those are my rule. of does doesn't mean we can't eat pork this is forbidden. that's just in court it's what's written in the koran it's not ok to eat it pork is not normal meat and so i asked do i really have to eat pork too well since we will have to live together i stopped eating it well one concern person to describe yourself as a qualified psychologist has written an open letter calling the program an attack on the a months a patient of women she sees the channel is protesting a repressive relationship in a positive light we got reaction from two guests with opposing views on the program . in multan western european society and certainly in germany there are

a lot of stories migrants have lots of stories there are lots of different realities nowadays we're in a climate changing realities so you know if we have stories about young syrian people whether they're young adults whether the mine is. mixing with into mingling with living lives alongside germans or other europeans i think we should be a time to tell these stories as long as those stories are not. ceding discontent hate breeding or trying to be divisive i don't think it's the role of the government or a government agency to to work the children against continuing the values and cultures of their parents i don't have a problem with a mosque or a private organization pushing this sort of thing but you know what kind of taxpayer wants to have his values denigrated and subverted with his own

children by the people he's paying and that is the primary you see this. these in life and death hold resettling in resettling into the west now you don't get to stop the world and just say i want to get off you when you see like a real singular idea you said at the top of the hour i believe it was a lie right that guy pretended to be sixteen he wasn't sixteen so the kids were lied to from the very start so you have seven and eight year olds who are watching this romantic thing i'm not even sure that was appropriate ok and so let's start there this is not really about the ages of those people it's not really about freedom of expression or journalism this is actually about saying look at these we had muslims and brown people with funny views and pushing you know it really isn't you know sessions on a vulnerable young this is a i don't even know if this is a real romance this contrived romance. was being deliberately sold to these kids as

a way of undermining our setting the table for the undermining of maybe what i believe are the intentions of the parents parents have a right to continue their family legacies and their culture and this undermines it on the taxpayer dime we've got live reaction to one of the more bizarre stories of the week right after the break don't miss this one stay with us.

what he hopes is just to do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. it was something i want to be honest. with you going to the press this is what before three of the people. i'm interested always in the was in the. first. hello again american musician and d.j. moby claims he's been doing the behind the scenes bidding of of trump figures in a recent interview he said friends and contacts within the cia had asked him to

promote certain ideas online including the alleged collusion between the president and russian and the reason for that because moby house a more significant presence on social media. managed to make a few friends in the intelligence community and so they passed on some information to me and they said like look you have a big you have more of a social media following than any of us do can you please post some of these things just in a way to sort of put it out there from the man himself last february moby wrote a lengthy post on instagram after what he described as a meeting with friends from washington d.c. and that he sees it's safe to say trump was being blackmailed by the russians that's a quote he also called the u.s. leader an incompetent president controlled by foreign governments. and crabtree is the publisher of talk forty dot com political talk show host as well he

joins us live in the program hello to you brian what was your initial reaction to this claim by moby that the cia had asked him to make those anti trump posts. well either he's lying and you know and a lot of times our political left in this country of which moby's part of lies and makes false equivalency these are people that don't exist or sources and say in terms of our fake media in this country some of our fake media or even worse there's people in the cia who are supposed to be serving the intelligence community who are going to the liberal entertainment community and asking them to get out a message that they don't want to give to the american people from the intelligence community i think either way it's a very distorted discourse in america it's a bit of a bizarre situation this is not just look at reading through how this transpired over the past year why would mobi now reveal this you know at the very least it's put his so-called friends of the cia in an embarrassing position doesn't.

well if you look at the past week we've migrated somewhat from russian collusion to trump has dementia and when trump was accused of having dementia he then had a meeting that resembled celebrity apprentice with senators from both sides and it was anything but a demented guy and so that failed fairly quickly after the michael wolff book and i think they're trying to gin up the russian collusion nonsense and the american people are buying it and the reason the american people are buying it is i want to know where the call that i received the other day that came from our internal revenue service that was obviously an indian outside of this country pretending to be an american employee to fraud defraud me out of money that's what we care about and the and the media doesn't seem to get that in this country that the majority of americans don't care about some story that's now a year and a half old of russian collusion that doesn't infect or affect our lives if it's

even true and we can debate that later we care about what's happening happening to us so we have this detachment between our media and their agenda which is to finally at some point prove themselves right about this president we've elected and that he's some sort of communist or something and it's not going to happen because we care about things that really matter it's believed they just. got the cia actually dips into hollywood now and again editing the scripts of popular movies we've heard like argo as zero dark thirty is that necessary for then to god's. it's not their job no it's not even it's not necessary and it's not appropriate in fact if if directors of the cia were to discover such type of outreach and behavior unless it's at their direction they should be fired whoever's doing it should be fired their jobs not to reach out to hollywood liberals to try to undermine in

a gross display of insubordination their boss the president of the united states whether it's barack obama or now president donald trump it's insubordination it's theft i don't think it's espionage unless they're leaking classified data for that purpose but it certainly undermines their role well it's one of the stranger stories of the week to say this moby thing isn't it brian crabtree publisher of talk forty dot com political talk show host thank you for your time this hour. new york's largest police union is suing its own commissioner and the city's administration over the release of body count videos this was this has serious implications not only for the safety and it's of police offices but for the privacy and rights of members of the public as well the union claims the release of video from officers body cameras is a breach of citizens previously adding that the administration uses quote arbitrary inconsistent parameters and is guided by political considerations one case in point

is an incident last september when a man was shot after pointing a toy gun up police thought that he was released despite fears it could jeopardize an ongoing investigation a former officer who blew the whistle on police activities believes the current system is that he was to be used for political gain. i don't think it's an all of a sudden decision if you actually read the lawsuit in the very first paragraph is states clearly what it wants and all it's asking for in the gist of the complaint is for these body camera videos not to be used selectively for political gain that's that's all that it's asking for it's asking for a better system for these to be disseminated out into the public and as of right now the two people that the complaint is listing against for seemingly abusing the authority is for murder blasio and the police commissioner itself so the complaint says that it wants just not selective videos being removed.

it has been revealed that death threats were sent to two senior u.s. republicans by a viewer of a popular political t.v. program back in april last year triggering an f.b.i. investigation the person in question who's not been named sent the messages on twitter while watching the rachel maddow show but two targeted were senate majority leader mitch mcconnell on the administrator of the environmental protection agency to prove it proved it wasn't referred to in the segment but the viewer reportedly disliked his record of suing the agency during his time as a state attorney general according to the case report that's been released the individual in question who has now apologized was drinking while watching the show well politico. lionel joins us live now for his take on this story line of hello to you is this a case of someone doing something irresponsible and stupid or is it indicative of

the political environment right now in the u.s. or is there anything we can read into this yes all of the above we're losing our. we're losing our minds somebody's watching your rachel maddow show drunk decides he can't take it so he tweets a threat look. i have never in thirty years of doing professional commentary in terms of news i thought i remember they hated mixed and reagan was crazy and new medium and i have never at any level in any. consideration seen such acrimony and vile insanity then now i i don't know what it is it's not rachel maddow it's not drinking per se it's not it's just. it's as though everybody is sitting back and the part of the brain that controls judgment and restraint has been somehow

electronically ablated because i'm seeing is everywhere in facebook the regular conversations i've lost friends some of them i'm glad but if families are not be able to get along it's everywhere and what happens is when you see one person coming out you have to up that and surpass the hatred and vitriol and what it is we're just collectively encouraging this and this is so common to this line or can this actually be stopped or is this trend just going to continue and continue. well it could be stopped through mass sedation in the water system perhaps something i don't know but it is a it is the media it is this mainstream media that is fomenting and creating this and encouraging this at every level each person trying sean

penn in the news coming out and say it's not it's not enough and it goes back to this is all about trump hatred because that's where all this started that's where it just started if it carries over to everything and instead of and also this this device allows people to act like the heckler in the comedy club the drunk in the back of the room who wants to get to the stage who just can't control it anymore and because there is a feeling of anonymity whereas here is it and being alone and i'm just focusing on this i see it constantly from people of all ages time is beating us as per usual political media on this line and we appreciate your take so much thank you thank you sir. that's all the news for now and see you and often our son.

joined me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking together for the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. in two thousand and sixteen the panama papers show the world with a tax haven the secrets two trillion united states dollars pass through most. in the amount of time that we've been in the panama papers exposure that's what it shows a lot of money it really is. journalism it's an act of journalism looking at things that people want to keep secret and asking why would they want to keep these things secret. millions of most like fonseca documents were examined.

me all the people we basically have tried to get an advantage out of this sort of newspaper. and probably other politician which was attacking other politicians the media would point to find their targets such as the kings of morocco and saudi arabia the president of argentina several prime ministers. and russian president vladimir putin of course. oh my god i've had so i have sued so many newspapers for defamation some things don't just happen by chance it was very striking there were no more americans to go especially a lot of people from the brics countries specially brazil russia and china that this special project reveals what was missed in the media coverage. the panama

chronicles. but i'm asked geyser this is the kaiser for perpetual motion machines you've heard about it we've read about it try to create one when you were sixth grade probably do they exist i don't know maybe just talk to stacey max keiser well it's mad mad world out there everybody's getting on the chain the block chain they're issuing their own coins we've seen code echoing we see at long island iced tea we're going to have a blotchy in the shares went out everybody's getting out on that and everybody is talking about that craziness but you know this is the entire world is crazy because mad markets s. and p. has already surpassed year and price targets with only eight days to twenty eight teens here's a chart this little dot on line down here was where the market started the year

and this line here is where most analysts predicted the s. and p. five hundred would be at the end of the year but it already hit that with an eight days the markets are mad at. it well you know if the cost of lead is near zero then markets can go to infinity that's the way it works now i hear there is a rumor out there that the chinese are going to stop buying u.s. treasury debt that's been our rumor for hundreds of years that hundreds of years but it's been a rumor for at least ten years and of course there is the. understanding that china and america as a symbiotic relationship where china sends over all the cheap goods and they buy all the bonds and this goes on in perpetuity but you know there's

a lot of tension now between these two superpowers and china has in fact curtailed their bond purchases which would mean that the cost of money goes up because a bond market goes down interest rates go up despite what the federal reserve bank does they can only control the very shortest term on the yield curve they can really control the middle of the long term so if china dumps u.s. treasury bonds and interest rates start going up then there is something called cost for money for the first time in ten years so apple would not buy back its own stock it would be too costly we're going to get into apple buying back its own stock in these next headlines but first i want to talk about the fact that there's switzerland we need to talk about switzerland this is a little small country and i'm going to compare it to the fact that here i mentioned at the top of the show kodak coin could that coin is one hundred something year old company it used to produce you know film for video and for like

you take a little snapshot on your vacations and you would take the little roll of kodak film to your you know the print shop and have it printed a few weeks later now their shares have soared over doubling after they announced they're going to come out with their own cryptocurrency so in them market right now it seems first mover to announce that they're a block chain or they have a crypto coin is soaring they're benefiting from it it shows that people have an appetite for investment in anything related to crypto now switzerland you and i have talked about them since two thousand and eight since the financial crisis when they were basically their currency the swiss franc is treated kind. as a commodity everybody pours into it during bad times their the value of their cool their crypt their coin their coin their currency the swiss francs the swiss franc soars so member we've discussed the fact that they started printing swiss francs

and buying shares in companies around the world we said this was insane but they were the first mover there small country and they can do this and they have benefited big time as the first mover to go full insane well switzerland central bank made fifty five billion dollars last year more than apple's profits switzerland got a lot wealthier in twenty seven thousand thanks to a central bank's emergence as a major money manager with a near eight hundred billion dollars portfolio of foreign stocks and bonds so they announced that they had fifty four billion swiss francs and profit which is about fifty five billion dollars they just print the money and buy shares and these international companies and they made more than apple so apple has to actually go through the whole process of hiring engineers and technicians and designers and producing phones and coming out with phones and doing all this stuff but here is

the swiss national bank could be more powerful than apple just printing out money and yeah but it's a repudiation of the entire concept of a central bank a central bank as opposed to either the lender of last resort or to provide liquidity in case there's a credit freeze the fact that you have such a banks becoming the buyer of first order and that they're printing money to buy stocks is a complete inversion of what their role is supposed to be in the economy and they become a giant hedge fund and they again are matter utilize or maximizing or benefiting from the fact that their cost of printing their wampum their funny money their fear nonsense is era oh and they're buying real assets with those zero with that zero cost money and that is a nerve on a like situation that. it is not going to last forever because it's going to be geo political tensions whether it's china blowing up and saying you know we're not going to buy u.s. treasuries anymore interest rates cannot remain at zero ever yet but again first of

all i'm saying that kodak coin for example kodak is not something that you and i being having been in the bitcoin industry for the past seven eight years when it was only two dollars a coin you wouldn't have thought of kodak as a thought leader or innovator in the crypto space and yet they were the first mover and one of the first publicly listed movers into the space and they've benefited. the swiss national bank in a market of other global central banks saw all those bigger central banks the u.s. federal reserve the bank of japan their european central bank going crazy lowering interest rates driving costs down and they as a smaller country a little tiny entity just a few million people compared to three hundred and something million people under the e.c.b. three hundred million people in the u.s. federal reserve went got a first mover advantage whether or not the u.s. central bank whether or not the european central bank will be able to buy shares in

apple as swiss the swiss national bank has done swiss national bank owns millions of dollars worth of shares of apple by the way that's part of their portfolio so whether or not the u.s. government could do that without causing hyperinflation i don't think that they could do it like the swiss national bank has done and all of these mad markets whether it's kodak coin or the s. and p. five hundred already hitting near and estimates in the first eight days you know this could be the sort of spiral the vortex the craziness that you know these eight years ago or nine years ago was set in ten years ago back in two thousand and eight when these central banks started going insane is this is finally they're finally getting the inflation that they want but i don't know whether or not it will be out of control well you do have some pressure on the u.s. dollar world reserve currency is trending down and if we see that break ninety on the index you know they're going to have a free fall which would be a catastrophic event but look at the swiss national bank you know you have to

compare them to let's say nestle corp nestle corp will buy a reservoir of water a public utility of water from the public domain for nothing and then they'll sell in bottles for a markup and they'll claim their business genius men even though they're basically just stole of the public's utility the public's. ok the public is like deranged by it the public is also now like clamoring to get. raw water from a company and california raw water means it's not treated oh they go like this and take it out of the river and give it to you and there are all sorts of bugs and viruses and bacteria in there water people want authentic disease an organic authentic disease a set of virtual cyber diseases yaz the mind by what they're actually they want to have authentic gastro intestinal problems that are real you know the fact that the new york times even covered this story of people buying raw water for like twenty

dollars a gallon sent people clamoring to get their hands on any supply left so now it's like sixty dollars a gallon people want it even though the new york times said look at these imbeciles who are buy raw water and everybody's like i want to be the figure in the soul of all so you know there's always a bigger fool at the table apparently but speaking of crazy and this is something you kind of predicted a long time ago and speaking of you know swiss national bank earned more profit than apple well apple to take twenty five percent stake in apple incorporated apple could buy back twenty five percent of its stock over the next three years as it brings home for in cash according to a new analysis from u.b.s. analyst steve in milan of it he reports this to barron's that buying is likely to provide support for shares as i phone unit growth slows and services and other businesses play

a more important role so yeah right predicted this well yeah i mean they're buying back their own stock what they've got that job hundred fifty billion or so overseas that should have been taxed as income at some point but instead it was not taxed at all now they're getting a sweetheart deal for the company ministration to bring that money back ladies it too is going to create infrastructure create factories create jobs going to buy back their own stocks and rich in shareholders and ciders and executives again a massive ponzi scheme called apple computer apple computer. there is a ponzi scheme berkshire hathaway or their biggest shareholders that's a ponzi scheme the stock market's upon its game the bond market is certainly a ponzi scheme the us dollar is the mother of all ponzi schemes but coin is the only thing that's not a ponzi scheme again so the tax cuts. makes it more advantageous to book these profits over here in the united states bring this two hundred fifty six billion dollars from overseas to here but they're also predicting in this report and barron's about apple buying twenty five percent of his company so it's going to be like twenty five percent shareholder they're going to be the most of their own

companies are telling themselves private that's taking themselves partially private if you give these corporations free money to buy back their own stock at no cost if you allow jeff bezos to buy whole foods without any cost to him whatsoever it's a creative it goes on the bottom line the day one it's zero cost is just wrapping up the well that's what i say like swiss national bank has zero cost to print swiss francs because especially this no longer the world is going on really it's no longer put on things very little to do to listen here they're saying that apple's going to spend an additional one hundred seventy three billion on top of the already you know several billion that they were doing on share buybacks so most of it's going to be front loaded into this year basically they're doing mike brown's bottom gordon brown when he sold all the u.k.'s gold announced it to the world we're going to sell our gold drove the price down got the guarantee lowest price for the united kingdom here apple's guaranteeing the highest price ever paid for apple to buy these hundred seventy three billion dollars worth of shares they're saying that this is going to be front loaded into.
