which i had been hoping for is that he has perpetuated so many of our deeply flawed policies especially in foreign policy foreign policy is a little bit more confusing i am very pleased that he's at least made an honest effort that he's reduced the amount of regulations and i think that's one of the reasons we've had an economic boost. and that is that is good and he's made an effort to reduce taxes that's for from perfect but lower taxes less regulation is good and the marketplace is reflecting that oh and don't forget about that wall we're going to build the world we have no choice we have no choice. yeah how's that going we have some wonderful. prototypes that have been put up now despite the president's ambitious timetable for construction it remains unclear when the wall might actually go up on the surface donald trump looks like a president like no other he's allowed brash he doesn't care about political

correctness is even turned twitter into an official white house channel but if you look a little bit closer and judge him by his political actions he's a little bit more the rule than the exception. artsy new york times presidency so has those and those have been marked by a string of quickie catchphrases and diplomatic moves which kept the wealth and the media gets thing what he was going to do next his own take on his tenure throughout the year. please. ily. donald trump's oath of office means nothing this is one of the most radical it may

not be royal speeches we've ever i'm not going to give you can you speak out or you are fake do. donald trump's incoherence is all a direct result of the potential collusion rough inclusion of u.s. officials are growing increasingly concerned about possible russian intrusion. we've just launched fifteen. heading to iraq where we're headed to syria. heading towards syria. you just got back from the middle east to get saudi arabia is.

going to go to a. meeting with. we are totally prepared for the second option totally destroy north korea is a sick puppy north korean regime is calling the president from the words a load of nonsense obviously he's a pretty smart cookie. he wish you a very happy and i. think you know what's

going on and the love that's all over. all of us. and some of those issues are already seeping through into the second tier of trance absolutely shocking that's how a group of us republican congressman reacted after seeing a new top secret intelligence document they believe it details the abuse of surveillance powers under the but i straighten i had that same shock feeling i was like wait a minute this actually happened from our justice department and this f.b.i. that's how serious this is that there has been a real attempt to undermine this president and it's the type of information that we need all americans to see immediately the american people deserve they must say they want to know what's in this document sadly much of the mainstream media will

not be covering this today but in this house on this day let us know that indeed we are still one nation under god willing to protect life. the contents of the secret document is obviously unknown and it's still unclear whether it will ever be released but judging from the comments made by the republicans it's thought it could potentially outline a political bias with the within the f.b.i. and department of justice during investigations into the trumpet russia collusion claims now the issue is receiving plenty of attention on the internet too and they released the memo hash tag and some are even saying moskos handed it as one think tank claims the hashtags being pushed by six hundred kremlin linked accounts on twitter it claims the use of release the memo hash tag increased by three hundred percent in twenty four hours and what it described as an unprecedented so popularity well let's discuss these issues further now we're joined by patrick head

is saying executive editor of twenty first century wired dot com mr headings think it's a happy with this so first the government wide shut down hit you think will be the biggest loser out of this i think the president shows that americans can expect threats of a government shutdown pretty much every six months or the subject comes up really about twice a year i think you hear sort of you know under the obama administration and two thousand and thirteen you know it did split the republican house at the time along sort of ideological lines as well t. party insurgents and so forth now it's just become part and parcel of american politics united states is think about as a country on paper they should be in receivership right now going into administration and so i think it's just it's business as usual running you know multi-trillion dollar deficits united states now rather symbolic that this is

happening exactly one year after trump assumed office don't you think. yes yes and no i think this is this is very lightweight in terms of the the the you know before i think having republicans in opposition in the house and having a democratic president like barack obama there was a lot more tension with regards to the government shutdown issue but as is as as divisive as trump is having a republican president in the executive and having a republican house and senate it's not as bad of an issue i think i think the media is looking for a lot of divisive issues in order to cover and make stories out of when they really should be investigating and sort of well really looking at themselves and the coverage that they've dedicated to let's say russian collusion over the last eighteen months which is you know by all accounts now we can seize on an official

conspiracy theory that's been promulgated mainly by the democratic party and also by the never trump republicans who this is gus this man i'm on the alleged to base of surveillance powers by the f.b.i. and the justice department and while handling the trunk pressure investigation what do you make of these allegations that russia linked accounts are trying to trying to hash tag release than them. this is this is ridiculous on so many levels this basically what's behind this allegation is a. i don't know what to call it hamilton sixty eight this is sort of some kind of initiative by a guy named clint watts and some of his associates and they sort of come from a cold war and you know conservative think tank the foreign policy research institute which is a neo con you know cold war dinosaur and so they've they're also i think linked to this proper not this sort of blacklist of websites and so basically what they're

saying this laughable. somewhat queer notion posited by watts in the mainstream media that any persons who deny russian collusion or who support trump on this issue or who support or sympathetic to any of russia's foreign policy statements or moves is somehow part of an organized network of russian influence and this i think the specific term they used was russian influenced linked accounts so this is like beyond spurious so basically according to this logic that they're calling this active measures by the kremlin so if you share or anything along these lines that sort of skeptical of this kind of official russia gate conspiracy theory or that doesn't you know is questioning the obama administration's role in what has already been proven through susan rice's unmasking involvement there was

surveillance orders have been made there was partisan forces in the f.b.i. that's proven beyond a reasonable doubt what this is is a kind of democratic deep state joint venture to try to. divert people's attention away kind of engineer this sort of social desirability. phenomenon where you just don't want to be supporting trump or you don't want to be siding with russia otherwise it's socially undesirable in america to counting thing executive editor of twenty first century why dot com thank you for your time when it's coming up after the break to stay with us. when nor make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is to protect themselves. when the final

merry go round lifts and be the one percent. we can all middle of the room see. the real news. in order to overthrow a regime it does take popular discontent and popular mobilization but it also requires actors with in the leadership of the regime who feel that the regime is no longer serving the national interest you need people in the military or the bureaucracy for both who are willing to see the regime change otherwise they would be able to put down a popular revolt that did not have support at higher level. welcome

back now in france riot police have moved in on the prison firing tear gas not of the inmates but gods and rest fled while the prison staff had been taking part in a weeklong nationwide strike over what they say are dangerous working conditions for these included escalating attacks on god see elsewhere in the country the justice minister attempting to solve the crisis was if the whole style welcome from angry prison workers. the. all employees of the prison are in a state of shock we're angry because it's been a week since we created a national movement following their aggression right now we're waiting for the measures the bosses and the penitentiary administration will take with respect to the management of inmates

a number of attacks on guards have been recorded in french prisons of late a week ago three security staff were injured after an inmate set set on them with scissors and a razor blade while in another jalen monday seven guards were attacked by an inmate in that case according to officials the perpetrator had been radicalized in prison while following the incident the prison guards union issued a list of demands aimed at improving the working conditions there are seeing officials to create more than a thousand new jobs in french prisons as well as fully isolating radicalised inmates they're also calling for more security forces to protect the workers growing discontent led to the nationwide strike which has been seen burning barricades of tired of hearing outside many facilities.

think. he. said. the government representatives are to blame they don't want to discuss the problem or to find a solution to our poor working conditions we demand an increase in the number of prison guards and also the creation of a special high security wing radicalized prisoners. some of the more determined we are really determined to make ourselves heard and to ensure that our demands are met and we really want work conditions to be changed especially in terms of security. and at the news now a british student has been making headlines after appearing on a radio show and confessing her sympathies towards communism twenty four year old fiona laurie told a b.b.c. programme she felt communism was never given a chance to develop in the soviet union and therefore didn't actually fail the story whipped up a storm of debate over how universities are luring students to the left with one

professor repeatedly quoted saying she's downplaying the crimes of stalin we spoke to her ourselves about the story. i think it's completely hypocritical and very typical of academics like him to kind of passionately talk about the deaths under the soviet union but i think this is very much selective outrage the media in general obviously don't paint marxism or socialism or really any kind of left wing politics in a positive light and that's because obviously in you know the media is owned by so angry people in the media is owned by a billionaire class that have certain interests they want to protect i think people can think for themselves and i wouldn't take their headlines general opinion of the british. perhaps it's not surprising the story was seized upon its themes red alerts have been flashing in the british media more of late much was made of the

prime minister wearing a bracelet featuring frida kahlo a communist known for her concerns about the poor elsewhere a buzz feed signs that so it was forced to lock down her social media account due to abuse of the writing that she wants communism for christmas. but does the public share the red fear of the media well according to a new opinion poll nine percent of young adults view communism as a danger to the world compare that to global business who nearly a quarter think actually poses the biggest threats political activist george bada said his view on the story what we need to remember is that anybody of my age and older in this country and certainly in the u.s. because much of the west identifies you know communities in the soviet union and anytime like hard last or extreme left i was pretty much different aspects of the same thing in the one nine hundred fifty s. when when the soviet union was showing very significant great significant rates of

economic growth and the mainstream foreign policy journalists were very much kind of writing these defensive narratives to try and explain away why the demonized of the system was apparently doing so well i think one needs to distinguish between the propaganda and the historical reality. reminded now of our breaking news story this hour the turkish president say that ankara has docked this military operation in syria on the ground but in fact the operation was launched yesterday off the turkish army open cross border fire on the kurdish held african region now they want it now says more military action will follow. the afrin operation has defect to started on the ground this would be followed by man bitch. turkey promised it would take action after the u.s. military command announced plans to create a border force with kurds in northern syria and move which left on current raging

passes turkey views because as terrorists later the secretary of state trying to clarify the situation saying the u.s. has no intention of creating such a force that but his words haven't been enough to stop the military operation. entire situation has been misplaced trade mr scribed some people misspoke we're not creating a border security force at all. the coalition is working jointly with the syrian democratic forces to establish and train the new syrian border security force. i hear it on t.v. love to get your take on the day's stories so do get in touch by following us on social media i'll be back at the top of the hour with all the latest news think getting more details on our breaking news story so do join us then.

we have a winner take all bent out of it's a lottery mentality in america you know where are your dead and the pharmaceutical companies of course a lobbyist going to washington the james a lot of a possible to peddle all cost in america and nobody frickin cares because it ever learned a lot as a wal-mart or did they say let's do it again. the two thousand and eight economic crisis turned some countries into pigs these are the countries with weaker economies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation of low gloat even the recession austerity is a very bad idea it doesn't work and it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see their wages the client off the almost a decade how good are the results she saw all of it in your interviews with her by the. gathering was the wad of good people with you what do i do it sure it led me

to truly be beautiful blue she thought clement was i mean to for legal. challenge must be more than this she did not i was always think it she somehow they cannot get into how to wire the same measures still in place to one of the consequences to weaken blue bird flu. will first. of this is the truth be considered this is the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision makers. one of your exact to deny all right here is something you don't hear in the mainstream media something it's a little bit of a redacted there's a growing theory out there that our entire reality is actually

a simulation being run by a higher level being like like an animal or a kid in an alien kid and only an animal time kid a garage somewhere just watching us scramble around working a job we hate buying things we don't need and fearing death. let's see n.b.c. new cover that where the simulated dairy laster halt. breaking news twenty percent chance we're all just any it characters in a bad video game now want to jam with the simulated weather. simulation theory it's a little like the matrix it doesn't amazing if humans were like inside pods whereas in simulation theory we are part of the simulation and only think we are conscious being aware that with emotions in underwear and seasonal affective disorder and all that stuff and no you don't have to be high to believed a funny god heard it doesn't hurt at all if it helps a lot so are we in base reality or are we in

a fake one well here's the lawn musk to the given that we're clearly our trajectory to have games that are indistinguishable from reality and those games could be played on a set top box or on a p.c. or whatever and they would probably be. you know billions of such. you know computer setup boxes. it would. seem to follow that the odds they were in face reality is one in billions. the auxiliary or. all of these one hundred billion but whether that guy ever been right about anything. the theory works like this the level of computing we're capable of has increased exponentially compared to just thirty years ago remember thirty years ago we thought it was amazing that mario could jump up and hit his head on a brick without any long term mental trauma at all but a running back in the n.f.l.

so now. now imagine where computing power will be a thousand ten thousand years from now will likely easily be able to simulate life to such a high degree that the beings in the simulations would know it's not real and if a thousand years from now everyone is running simulations there would be billions so is it more likely we're one of those simulations or that we're in base reality however one thing you are must is missing in his analysis would an incredibly advanced to life form find to this simulation to be out rageous play boring. relates to the shooting and look only to involving in the n.t. it was getting furious that our phones not fast enough water splashed about as a toilet into our you know we're. going to be one enjoying that. but this being a simulation would explain a lot of things like why the other sock is missing you know how the cat got on top

of the fray why stephen miller never blinks but. what always seems to be halfway blink. well let's assume this is reality i want to propose we're living in a simulation of a different kind of twenty fourteen princeton study found that we here in the united states are in an oligarchy ruled by an elite class we are not a democratic republic you kid yourself what do you believe these two bunny to the study found that if the people the new. donnelly's once something to happen legislatively at the federal level it all it only happens if it's aligned with the business world corporate america business interests have substantial independent impact on u.s. government policy while average citizens and mass based interest groups have little or no independent influence yet almost all our mainstream media attention and

everything that swirls around us all day c.n.n. and all the rest and most of our national activism is based on trying to change these things that we provably mathematically almost never change. so it isn't that kind of like living in a false world you know what one where we think we matter but it's a facade of bull the truman show it's our our actions are like punching waves you know like like trying to catch a fart in your hand. trying to make soccer popular in the us. media pursued i call this the national delusion so then it's natural to ask can i get out of the delusion out of the simulation can i have a real impact in the case of the simulation theory of our lives no you can't get out you are you are nothing but a little pixilated person in a bad video game which includes back me for some reason but. in the case of the

princeton study in the case of the national delusion you do have a way to break out of the simulation it's to get active locally or even state wide cities and states are not nearly as bought off and controlled by corporate vampire squid piles of stock. as the federal government is here's an example last week bill de blasio the mayor of new york did something awesome and i know he has some bad things on his record like endorsing hillary clinton and killing the new york groundhog on groundhog day. i'm not kidding google it but. but i think it was buddha who said people can do good things. and good people can do god got me like ok. i believe i was buddha. and donald trump tomorrow announced we were not going to drone bomb innocent people anymore i'm still given tons of credit boy i feel like did you say that you said

that race is peabrain did. i still give him credit anyway i do blah the l announced that new york city would be divesting all of its billions of dollars from fossil fuels and bringing major lawsuits against five of the biggest oil companies exxon shell b.p. chevron and conoco phillips for yeah good for. bringing the brady lawsuit against them for the climate crimes they've committed for wrecking the lives of so many people in new york city and it's not just climate change by the way one of the largest oil fields in history thirty million gallons is underneath brooklyn new york as we speak i don't want to hand i realize how big this divestment is assuming they follow through with it on the other hand i can't help but think. of course of course you don't dast in the companies that are

actively killing you vanity when. i lived in new york i volunteered in coney island after superstorm sandy was devastation all right so you would assume the day after sandy new york city would have divested from fossil fuel that's it's like big attacked by a pack of wolves and surviving and you're sitting there with like one arm laughed and just open wounds and you're still investing in rabbit wall. of the shore i don't like what happened i'm a. right does kiddo the. burbs well keep writing this way. as they only klein points out in her article it's also extremely significant that the divestment and last year were announced in tandem because they have the potential to reinforce one another in a kind of virtuous market cycle demand cities divest their funds sue the oil

companies drag them into court to defend themselves all those things hurt their stock as their stock goes down people stop investing they then have less money for oil and gas exploration and in this case exploring is a euphemism all right that means finding ways to destroy the planet because we here in america my euphemism ah. we eat it up like a baby bird gobbling up his mother's vomit and i'm not. laying boiling gas exploration sounds nice but you can use the word explorer for all kinds of awful. bankers explore the best way to sell you a subprime mortgages that'll bankrupt you a cannibal explores your neighborhood to find the tasty and first to. kick exploited your body for the juiciest spot. to get ahead and it's all just exploration see the point is bill de blasio never would have done this if it

weren't for the pressure from activists and indigenous rights groups and environmental. cannot get on the local level forster's city to divest get them to sue the oil and gas companies and then moving forward we need to create a world that puts every decision through a sustainability filter is each action sustainable kind of like m.s.m. b c runs every story through what can we make this about russia filter ok. and every action should be sustainable or it should be thrown out we need to stop congratulated the murderers and profiteers as business leaders just last week trump congratulated norway on their purchase of r f fifty two fighter jets unfortunately the f. fifteen two is a fictional aircraft featured for.
