as i says there's also has missed me which is also in the government so there are number of opponents and i think this simply isn't the right intelligence to counter these kind of attacks because they're happening on the regular basis one day it's a civilian target one day it's a military target one day it's a commercial road or a hotel like today had to counter terrorism in afghanistan you need regional approach and the regional approach means working with iran working with pakistan and working with russia in the central asian states at the moment the u.s. is not really doing that they have their own strategy and it's not doesn't fit in with the region strategy. donald trump's first year in the white house is being mocked by a government wide shutdown this follows the senate's refusal to approve a bill to fund the government all but five democrats voted against it if you know the main sticking point was trump's refusal to include protections of undocumented young immigrants before you know. the republican leadership do the job they ought

to do today they put politics above the national security everyone thinks of themselves as a leader in that building is going to have to look at themselves in the mirror and ask are they really being true to the ideals of this country democrats hold our local citizens hostage over their breakfast of moments we have a divider in chief in the white house this is behavior the structure just loses not legislate. well this is the latest example of how bumpy the first twelve months have been for the president. more pain takes a look at how trump's tenure has unfolded so far when trouble is sworn in a year ago emotions are running high on all sides. the u.s. media described it as a pivotal moment in american history you're not having a terrible terror. dream also you're not dead and you haven't gone to hell it will

be very bad americans and others will now die washington d.c. the establishment is terrified and they should be they call that the trump revolution trump promised to completely overhaul u.s. foreign and economic policy he promised a brave new world that was cheered by his supporters and dreaded by his detractors as a distro be an apocalypse so a year on where are we well with all this america first rhetoric you might have thought that would have meant less interference in other countries well that's not exactly how it played out tonight i ordered a targeted military strike we are so proud of our military that it was another successful event we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary on the home front some promised a new level of protectionism against mexico and china but the usa is increasingly buying more foreign goods and producing less of its own the trade deficit with

mexico is up by eleven percent the trade deficit with china is up by seven percent unemployment is low but so are wages there is record amounts of household debt in the united states right now and retail stores are closing across the country and here's one thing that didn't change between trump and previous administrations during the election trump talked about getting along better with russia and his detractors called him a kremlin puppet but now one year later things which we washington and moscow are about the same as they were before bad for their action by the. congress to put these sanctions in place from the way they do that's the decision they made that made it very overwhelming was. that except we may be at an all time low in terms of the relationship with russia this is built for a long period of time now trump promised to drain the swamp of corruption we are going to drain the swamp to washington d.c. . but it looks like that swamp is still here and deeper than ever policy

stay the same our foreign policy is the same the monetary policy in the federal reserve is same spending as the same deficits are still rising so there has not been any significant changes in the direction of our country 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 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. in terms presidency has also be mocked by a string of quickie catchphrases and diplomatic moves that have kept the world and the media guessing what he's going to do next he is on take on trump's first twelve months.

donald trump's oath of office means nothing this is one of the most radical in our bureau speeches we've ever i'm not going to give you can you speak out you are faked is. donald trump's incoherence is all a direct result of the. attempts of losing russian close u.s. officials are growing increasingly concerned about possible russian intrusion. we've just launched fifteen. missiles heading to iraq where we're headed to syria. heading towards syria.

you just got back from the middle east because the saudi arabia is. still. going to go. like. they are totally. repaired for the second option totally destroy north korea is

a sick copy north korean regime is calling president trouble for it's a load of nonsense obviously he's a pretty smart cookie. he wish you a very happy hanukkah. break down in thinking about what's going on and the love let's call over israel. and all about jerusalem. now twitter is warning you says they think might have fallen victim to russian propaganda accounts the details on that and more on the break. something that is very important for us. to be only a common market. as we say to be

a community of that going to talk to these viewers both process as if you twitter is so good to power that from moscow writes to dominate. their way to be unsettling to communities he's. in order to overthrow the 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 or both who are willing to see the regime change otherwise they would be able to put down a popular revolt but did not have support at higher level.

welcome back a british student has been making headlines after appearing on a radio show and confessing her support for communism twenty four year old fiona lowry told the b.b.c. programme she felt communism was never given a chance to develop in the soviet union and so didn't i she failed the story whipped up a storm of debate over how universities all you're in students to the left one repeatedly quoted professor says he's downplaying the crimes of stalin well r.t. spoke to her about the media storm. kit's completely hypocritical and very typical of academics like him to kind of passionately talk about the deaths under the savior 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 a certain group of people in the media is owned by a billionaire class have certain interests they want to protect i think people can think for themselves and i wouldn't take their headlines general opinion or the british book. and it seems red alerts have been flashing a few times recently in the british media much was made of the prime minister wearing a bracelet featuring frida kahlo a communist known for her concerns about the poor and a buzz feed science editor felt compelled to look down her social media account following abuse she received after writing that she wanted communism for christmas . but does the public share the media's read fear according to a new opinion poll nine percent of young adults view communism as a danger to the world compare that to global business which almost a quarter think actually poses the biggest threat or political activist george

barda says there is a need to distinguish between history and propaganda. what one needs to remember is that anybody of my age and older in this country and certainly in the u.s. and across much of the west identifies communities in the soviet union and the anytime like hard left or extreme left as pretty much different aspects of the same things in the one nine hundred fifty s. when when the soviet union was showing very significant great significant rights of economic growth and the mainstream foreign policy generally were very much kind of writing these defensive narratives to try and explain away why the demonised of the system was apparently doing so well i think one needs to distinguish between the propaganda and the historical reality. twist that has started sending emails to those who might have followed reach we see it or light suspected russian propaganda or accounts showing the us presidential campaign which are estimated at almost

seven hundred thousand users full into that category when its message to those uses the social media platform urged them to learn more about the nature of the russian propaganda effort one of those contacted by twitter is political comedian tim young he told us that liking or me tweeting should be considered as propaganda i thought it was very interesting getting a letter from twitter because. i never recalled re tweeting or liking something that i would have viewed as russian propaganda to have donald trump elected or or manipulate the election is a propaganda tool if you agree with what you're liking or re tweeting i'm not sure who is being influenced as an american by the tweets especially the tweets that they showed they had a few example tweets and a lot of them were just basic political messages that anyone in america could come up with so i think twitter and a lot of the democrats think americans are extremely stupid so i'm not sure exactly why twitter thought that i would have been fluence to buy something. outside of

this country to begin with in the election. when asked he requested that twitter explain what tools it uses to identify accounts related to so-called russian propaganda but so far has received no answer the site has been sharply criticized by u.s. lawmakers for failing to prevent what they say was a torrent of disinflation on a platform during the twenty six thousand election campaign what you responded that it would work to identify adding foreign people about that alleged propaganda a letter that i wrote calling on these companies to individually inform all users who are exposed to false misleading and inflammatory posts generated by russian agents we will be working to identify and inform individually the users who may have been exposed to the ira accounts during the election. it's nearly impossible to be able to show what is actually political propaganda because

in and election cycle everything can be considered political propaganda and what is considered a different country meddling in another country's election because i've been contacted i've done digital marketing before for many people and i think contacted by foreign leaders to run their digital campaigns into social media for them so would that count as an american meddling in their election like there's so many different ways you can categorize this and it really doesn't make sense but it plays into the all that now one year old or longer conspiracy theory that russian the russian government colluded with the trump campaign which there's still no evidence of. or we're back in just over half an hour with the latest news but more in the meantime it's waspy dot com.

this is harlan kentucky. over all of this move the voice it was very fanny's to. a co money city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal miners are said. that it was a laugh to see these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happening it's happened. everybody i'm stephen both gosh task hollywood guy you know suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and r.v.'s to say this is my buddy

max famous financial guru well he's a little bit different. abraham lincoln. no one knows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have some fun every day americans come calling and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american pill which. the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm. of education the right to education is being supplanted by the right to. education. higher education is becoming just another product that can be bought and sold but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business where you could. look good it's also. going to be good if

you. want to use the place of students in this business model for college i was born now and i'm extremely bored high education the new global economic war. i am ask eyes are this is the guys ready for lots of interesting things. who say hey little rocket man actually had a little sort of crazy thing going on there how would you describe that as the rocket man asked it i'm going to rocket my. really not working like right now my fingers look small now that doesn't get a big rocket. shot but could you doug wilder i would say like robert de niro or al pacino max guys are doing the pressure max guys are doing oppression of al pacino in that movie now but i will fix your hair by the way you go like that

let's do it we've mentioned in the past everybody knows that trump got a lot of press attention for tweeting at kim jong un as little rocket man and that was after a little rocket man kim john had called president trump though tired and you know my feeling is that after this surprise we have profs won't between the north and south korea their meeting and the notion that north korea might actually send some athletes to the winter olympics i think actually surprisingly. it may have been schoolboy like but i feel like kim jong un felt respects like he's been doing all sorts of things for the last ten fifteen years to get any attention whatsoever from the president of the united states whoever that might be and none of them have ever referred to him directly they're always referring to the north koreans are going to be in trouble or whatever and never respond to him directly so

i think trump actually getting on twitter and saying hey little rocket man my buttons bigger than yours he's actually addressing him directly and thus giving him the respect he wanted all they need it didn't matter all you needed to do it seems to get to the table was to address them directly it's a guy thing that's what i do it's why guys talk it out if you go on athletic team for example you play sports you're in a hockey team or a basketball team was over there guys well poke each other they'll pick fights with each other that's how you get the team going us i get the team organized as you develop a spirit decor so by trump saying hey rocket man it's like you know george w. bush used to call it but he kept it little names and pet names and nicknames it's a form of endearment so as you point out he's talking directly to this guy this little rocket man in north korea or as obama might go through a diplomat or he might not speak to him directly to goes or channels or goes or back channels and it's all very corrupted and it's all very

a lot. of trump's right to just say a little over your frickin lunatic los have a conversation album eight ball spaghetti you know like you like movies you like just you like the way south park made you look like a imbecile in the movie america team america did you like that he's like yeah kind of what's up we don't have you over the white house in fact here's a headline we didn't get to last week because we were covering these other stories in the financial news this isn't really financial news related but it will impact the world economy south korea's moon says trump deserves big credit for nor. korea talks south korean president and credited u.s. president trump on wednesday for helping to spark the first inter korean talks in more than two years and warned that planning yang's would face stronger sanctions if provocations continued he gave them big credit he didn't just say credit he had to say big credit because he was of course cockatoo though tar that is donald trump

so you've got a huge you're big or whatever you guys are simpletons i mean look at the soul sex scandal in hollywood because guys are basically simpletons you know they have simple needs and simple tastes and simple wants and if you run a crazy a dictatorship in north korea you're not you know tonight being trying to working out diplomatic angles in the super super you know kind of series about what you should be doing is just a guy up there are lonely regardless they do have advanced technology there they are as we have discussed with guests like tim schorr they do have an advanced weapons system they've built bombs they have a nuclear weapon they have i.c.b.m. they have things like that that doesn't it's not like you can't do that and not be intelligent and not have a scientific class and have a class of people who can do this so however there rest of the economy is according to many like and deep turmoil and there is. you know the economic directs for most

of the population but i want to turn to you know looking back at little at darts country which is here the united states is some of the more data that keeps on coming out about this opioid crisis here. because for the long term impact that this will have on the economy has to be substantial because these numbers are so shocking and i know we've covered this before but the data just keeps coming out and it's just. it's breathtaking more and more breathtaking every single time new data emerges the opioid crisis is driving up deaths of millennial zx in the united states. the u.s. is one of the wealthiest countries in the world it's the world's center of innovation the medical science at the country can't keep their youth from dying u.s. millennialism now dying at such high rates that it is driven life expectancy in the country to decline for two years in a row the first time this has happened since the early one nine hundred sixty s. the primary cause for the trend is the opioid crisis and the actual data from the

u.s. centers for disease control and prevention shows that one hundred twenty nine out of every hundred thousand twenty five to thirty four year old u.s. adults died in two thousand and sixteen not since one thousand nine hundred five at the height of the hiv aids epidemic did you see that so hundred twenty nine out of every hundred thousand. twenty five to thirty four year olds because of. north korea again you know the two countries are our pursuit they both have catastrophic social policies and tomic weapons crazy people to dictators and run them and now they're going to lympics so it's fun for all. so i'll show you a chart here the death rates among young adults in the us are skyrocketing that shows that they they plunged during the ninety's so i let me add my comment here this is strictly for the new york times this would be like the collapse of the

soviet union in one nine hundred eighty nine ninety ninety remember there was a catastrophic die off because of the mismanagement when yeltsin was put in place by america and they meddle with the election and had to die off and all the dr consumption fears america going to die off of neo liberals who go wacko in new york times this is america this is not the soviet union postal ups ok put out of your friggin fiber smokable paul krugman who remembers all their wacko nut jobs at the new york times or like to be critical of this network would never mention me by name well that's a good point because of course they were the new york times is still very concerned about the die off that did happen in russia post collapse of the soviet union and they are seemingly more concerned about that and what is going on here but the number the data is remarkable in twenty ten just eighteen at every one hundred thousand americans died at the age twenty five to thirty four from overdose by twenty fourteen that rate rose to about twenty three and one hundred thousand then

it really took off from twenty fourteen to twenty sixteen and spiked by almost fifty percent to almost thirty five the majority of this rise can be accounted for by an increase of deaths from heroin natural and semi-synthetic non heroin opioids like oxy code down and most importantly synthetic prescription opioids by fentanyl that the death rate can spike fifty percent in the course of two years well i predict that pretty soon the mc jobs as they're called employers and the gig economy employers like stuff will start paying their employees in fenton all. well maybe but you know the fact that we have this fifty percent spike in any other if we saw it from here if we saw it happening in venezuela a lot of people are very very very concerned about venezuelans who some people are saying are starving to death you're starting to see some people starving to death so we are as a people we're very concerned about those people starving in venezuela i would

think like you're going to be normally human societies kind organize around their own family and then their local community and then their state government and then the federal you know you know you're usually are concerned kind of like with those closest to you so like these sort of numbers if we saw them from afar we would say something weird is going on there when you saw in russia after the collapse of the soviet union you saw that it was the disintegration of the society and the economy and the and the structure of the economy and society around them that collapsed and they had no place suddenly here we have something going on i don't know what it is you know you mention neo liberalism but that's been something that's been going on for the last twenty thirty years finally just a sign of people giving up hope but these are twenty five to thirty four year old so what you know what's going on it seems like it should occupy more of the time on m.s.n. b.c. which is supposed to be the progressive network for example so you would think like you know you would think that it would be the fox news source that would be like

great this is creative destruction you need this sort of stuff m s n b c is the sort they're supposed to be that concerned about this so i would i'm just wondering why nobody mentions it is because it's there to cause they can see it they can see the forest for the trees you know the expression i just learned that apparently during the night my eight on your shoes are mating. that knowing you know this was going on i made sure it is mine what human doing at night when you call the thing people when they're sleeping at night and their eyelashes are made it ok now i try it on my eyeball and i can see so here you have america you've got this millennial overdosing on you know prescription opioids from drug manufacturers that are effectively creating pharmaceutical whole cost of american l.s.d. millions of americans aren't really is where to start now so it's meaningless because it doesn't impact our four one k. it does not going to doesn't because this company that sells these opioids is a private company it's one of the largest private companies in america

pharmaceutical companies these drugs are available to europeans and to asians and to latin americans and yet somehow they're not overdosing at the same sort of level so there's something unique going on here something happened in that time period so what was that time period from twenty fourteen to twenty sixteen something in particular happened there and i don't know what it was but it's worth a study americans kids are seventy percent more likely to die before adulthood than kids and other rich countries to gini coefficient in france is very small the gap between walls and porous very small share to america the tradition and family in europe and in france is very strong you know very typical you see grandma in the kids and the dog all together they all together on vacations are constantly together family values are very strong in france they don't have the united states you have the gini coefficient is exploding wealth and income gap exploding you have jeff bezos with one hundred x. billions of dollars and millions and hundred million dollars one hundred fifty million people america living at or below the poverty line in france the youth has

an identity that is constantly inculpated in their minds through education and through society and through culture of being part of a tradition of excellence in the arts for example in the u.s. there is no american culture i mean the only american cultural artifact would be jazz you know or something like that of course that's not even. majority of the population is a minority of the population so what is there really that america stands for in terms of a cultural or artifact it's about consumption overconsumption obesity we have a winner take all mentality it's a lottery mentality in america either winter or you're dead and the pharmaceutical companies of course lobbies are going to washington to change the laws of a possible to peddle whole cost in america and nobody frickin cares because it ever learn the lessons of world war two did they they said let's do it again jeff bezos of course over were worth over one hundred billion dollars his company amazon just emerged that they're one of the top ten companies in america with employees on food stamp.
