thing also that well you know the media the i mean everything in whole or the other side though is that we see the level of corruption at the highest echelons of law enforcement so you get the worst best worst possible words worlds here go headly go jump in well here's what it is this is a dish information operations against russia period that's what this is and you can't have a decision from ation operation by only going to one side in other words you've been talking about the liberal media again i'm a republican. supporter and i used to work as the lead investigative reporter for breitbart let me say this breitbart has been just as bad on this issue and the right conservative media this is why i say this is a decision from a nation operation about russia that succeeded not just because the left media the new york times washington post m s n b c and so on but because the right media with stories like the uranium one story for instance which demonizes russia which i hate hillary clinton that story is false and you could see that when bannon got in
4:01 pm
trouble my former boss steve bannon got in trouble for saying the it was treated that treasonous trump tower meeting right steve admitted in his apology as walk back he hates russia to lead to what you don't have a thing here is how it you know i'm going back you know what i i'll let you keep going after our short break and after that short break we'll continue with our discussion about that infamous memo stay with. the currency market itself is still on track to eclipse the global banking. only which is what we need what we want and. it's a bank starkiller that's the primary use of big boy.
4:02 pm
seen years ago i traveled across the united states exploring america's deadly love affair with the gun bad guy trying to get to one of my family members he would have better luck with their better and i think they are inheriting whenever my my baby says my book was published in the year two thousand more than half a million americans have been killed by firearms in the u.s. we had a thought to me as i did this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves in real scenarios it was interesting to see who actually got hit by the gun i just saw i did to return to the subject to track down each gun owner who i'd met and photographed those years ago i don't know that but we are not. running out of them with god close to the best out of the dogs with. the
4:03 pm
concerts i was preparing to perform i had actually prepared myself to die. in a home of. her own or was . this country was. really good. so. what. was it you could with. yes more here i did mission. b s k i never knew.
4:04 pm
welcome back across the uk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing the release of the memo. ok let me go back to lee and watch and i want to ask all three of you the same question here i mean the mother investigation goes on with the release of this memo does that number five his investigation or you know lower in its importance here is the if there's going to be depending on what it is i mean we've all heard a lot of different rumors you know a little snippets here i think we all have a pretty good idea what it is and it would seem to neg gates the whole russia gate narrative even though as james has pointed out on the program the damage has already been done ok they can walk away from this in the damage is already dents all go to leap first does this notify them of the mother investigation go ahead
4:05 pm
well it won't here's why what they're talking about the five stuff happened before muller was on the investigation but there's a wider point of this has not been about russia election interference or russian hacking for ever muller immediately went on a fishing expedition with thing and that is one hundred percent clear there was no attempt for instance if you're legitimately trying to find it in collusion right you look for a quid pro quo where's the where's the the what's in trump offer where's the investigation into what trump was getting back for this supposin election interference in other words that's what you have to do every prosecutor knows that a molar knows that too the reason he's going far afield the reason why would he interview. even steve van and right why would he look into this one anti magnitsky act. corp the reason why is this is
4:06 pm
a dish information campaign one of the people who people on the left and right need to watch out for here is a guy bill browder bill browder has been pushing this anti russian narrative and he is key to this whole thing and he is fooled both the left and the right and i gotta say that k. but everybody knows that it's just not that i think that you're absolutely right but you are really broadening out here ok i want to make sure we blundered because you have a deep knowledge of just like james as well yeah i mean let's maybe i should rephrase my question what about the perception of the of this investigation once we find out all of the highest echelons of the f.b.i. the d.o.j. have weaponized their position against their political opposition which i've said before and i'll say it again turns the us into a banana republic ok go ahead ha what trump must do and i believe what he will do is fire moeller and when the indignation is heard throughout the universe from c.n.n. and us and we see all trump needs to say is this i fired moller because there's no
4:07 pm
evidence of any collusion or any criminal activity from me or any of my associates pertaining to the mission of the probe hillary clinton for example actually committed crimes she removed top secret special access program intelligence that the highest level classification from super secure government locations she transferred them in a creative manner that nobody talks talks about from those locations on her on encrypt once on encrypted server that is a crime under the espionage act us code seventy three f. what peter struck did is remove gross negligence five times the references which directly relates to the espionage act and that statute you don't even need gross negligence because she paid by parking on a five thousand dollars the issue that i don't use any of them all or well but what you're doing and i'm going to cut you i'm not overwhelming you went down this ad. but it actually proves a point here james brings up this point we have these two narratives out there
4:08 pm
and depending on how you see politics is what you're going to stress i agree because hillary clinton was given a free pass over and over and over again donald trump like a murder don't like him there is no evidence that he committed a crime not yet after all this time ok though the other side and so you have c n n n n b c do not want to talk about the crimes of hillary clinton and her mafia gang because that's essentially what they are ok and all they can do is focus on me going to james they're all they can do is focus on the what they believe what they hope what they pray for our sins of donald trump but in all those words i just used it's not a legal go ahead james. i hope ha is right that molar will be out i think that means also getting rid of rod rosenstein the deputy attorney general and possibly
4:09 pm
replacing jeff sessions with somebody will actually do something about this stuff but my concern is this is that molar is captain ahab going after the great orange whale here and even if they can't find a real crime real collusion just like with general flynn and george papadopoulos you try to trap somebody into a process crime that's why he's so keen to interview trump personally and try to find some way to twist his words into either perjury or obstruction of justice so he would have though there was no crime of collusion or there's no crime but all you can get him to say but in the process of the investigation he did commit a crime he committed perjury when he talked to me and that's what they're really hoping to do he wants the nail some more to the wall to justify saying that i think at the end of the day he's not going to do a one on one i don't think his lawyers are going to let him do that ok that's the typical bravado and i don't know is any way fires real or you know will. lead to is an interesting point because what i what i think is again when i talked about these battling. narratives let's let's just say for example ok the memo is released at
4:10 pm
the end of the week it will have an earthquake effect ok who knows soon after mother may give his assessment here the problem is is who's going to believe which narrative ok because impeachment as we all know is not a legal process it's a political process so even if mohler says trump is guilty of this if it goes to the house of representatives if the other narrative is so much more can palings then then we get this gridlock oh we get the train crash ok because even irrespective what mahler has to say it may not have the political implications that he and the liberal elites and the media want and that's going to be a very interesting parlay if it happens go headly this is what i think the danger is when i say this is a different information campaign it's really important to understand this all but narratives lead to russia bad that's what i'm saying the one democrat narrative
4:11 pm
leads to russia bad we know that that's clear but the republican narrative also leads to russia bad and that's the point this is been a very successful dissin permission campaign because the facts are actually not that difficult to determine anybody can look into this for themselves and learn the facts of this case they can see what crowd strike did they can see who didn't tell us and that's guy who's that that russian let's just talk about that she's that russian lawyer that's all you need to say she's already being cast as like natasha right in the rocky and bullwinkle right she's that russian lawyer and and and she is that russian lawyer to both the left and the right the right believe this is what the right believes because my that's where i live i live on the right people on the right falsely believe that this was a setup that she was put in there by the clintons because she's connected to fusion g p. when we know fusion g.p.s. limbaugh they don't even get what's going on there and the left goes oh no no she's
4:12 pm
that russian lawyers or she just she was sent in by putin they all actually agree on it and i think the good thing is ok but no they hang on to sort of wake up and figure this out on both sides i hope so but i don't have a lot of hope but this is a an oasis right here on crosstalk ok because we'll talk about all of the issues here i don't have much hope for m s n b c i watched morning joke and meager today i mean what what universe did they live in i have no idea what they're talking about here ha i mean i think we all kind of agreed that you know the die is been cast here i mean us russian relations are for a generation done ok and i actually i don't really think about it much anymore ok because there's not much of that to be done about it but what i think is really interesting here in perth me personally it's not about trump it's not about hillary it's about the the future of the republic institutions and the very idea of
4:13 pm
democracy bernie sanders was burned ok he got it was stolen from him we had the clinton clan they tried to steal the general ok and now they want the these same people they want to overturn the democratic decision of the american people and they don't care one hoot if they have to destroy everything in the process go ahead ha. well this is all about. that you said democrats cheating bernie sanders debbie wasserman schultz being forced to step down then losing one point two billion dollars with a failed candidate who was under an actual criminal investigation and so. in terms of competing narratives there was evidence of crimes she committed crimes but she komi and struck and mccabe said she didn't intentionally commit the crimes she was the subject of the end of the investigation with trump he's not the subject of any investigation is as always this nebulous ambiguous i will people around him and
4:14 pm
there's a whole lot of smoke we can't prove anything. i think it's despicable that the democratic party chose to start a new cold war because they couldn't rely on anyone else sees yet and they couldn't they certainly couldn't rely on anything that bernie sanders stood for that's what he did as actually did bernie that's part of this struck the destruction that i'm talking about ha ha because you know the democratic party is shown itself to for what it is absolutely corrupt or james let me go to you will if if komi goes to jail will you send him a file in a cake i mean will you feel sorry for comi ok. seriously because i think you know you know what he thought he forgave you know the irony is he a major hillary didn't go to jail because of that he probably might go to jail james go ahead please don't i know i'm not going to send him a file of the cake or i won't send him anything no look obviously there are a lot of people here should or should go to jail i have to tell you honestly i am
4:15 pm
more concerned about the bigger picture as it's been pointed out by my two colleagues this isn't just on the left that russia bad or it's the right as well the damage is done and i'm not complacent about it because if you look at the way we're digging down deep into syria even though isis is on the ropes we have no reason to be there we should be declaring victory and getting out are being lethal weapons to ukraine we're probing. russia's territorial waters with their aircraft i am afraid you know they keep talking about nine hundred thirty nine put in on the march this is more like nine hundred forty k. hey now here is james i mean in the very minute you hit it with a noble to do it let me jump in here gentlemen i want to make a quick statement to to you and to our viewers i. robert perry passed away a few days ago over a consortium news dot com a very courageous very brave very honest journalist we are all going to miss him very much very much condolences to his family and i can tell you there's no one in the world that will ever be able to replace the dignity that man in his writing so
4:16 pm
god bless to him and his family and i and that's how we end our program i want to thank my guests in washington and in los angeles and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at our to see you next time and remember. when else seemed wrong. but. just don't. let me. get to shape out to stay active. and engaged equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.
4:17 pm
magic. this little bundle of joy would have no chance of surviving in the wild mother pandas can only will one come at a time but usually give birth to. every year china but a lot of effort into making up for this cruel mistake of nature. is just. china's panda breeding has become something of a production line. it's almost as though they've been copied three d. printed and put on show for the public good several cubs are born here each year. but only left work by dedicated scientists will be for nothing if panda love can't be encouraged in captivity it's not as though they don't practice at all but in the same lazy way they do everything else with this proud mama gave birth to twins and has no idea that
4:18 pm
a special love potion was formulated just for the. a batch or sudden passing i've only just learned your yourself in taking your last abang turn. your at out up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words and helps to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral in the same as one enters my mind gets consumed with death this one height difference i speak to you now as there is no one. taker's. claim that
4:19 pm
mainstream media has met its maker. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies who could be a bit interviewed by a little simple song along the banks like on the biggest elsewhere they invite private companies to take over their utilities many by the dullest drop of a luxury mr guthrie got on the program because. i've been this is. because. of where you remember the lift bill brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water it's about water but it's also over much more than war it's about the hurt and the redistribution of our worst words.
4:20 pm
they don't words we want or what. the b.b.c. is accused of bias as the case house of lords questions the corporations break that coverage following the release of damning reports. donald trump is quoted saying he'll definitely release the contents of a controversial classified memo alleging abuse of surveillance powers by the f.b.i. . that's really. not one hundred i know. israel is to sue to do is the lenders who allegedly convinced the pop star lord to council heard tell of the five concert.
4:21 pm
a very warm welcome i'm nicky aaron and you're watching r.t. international. the b.b.c. has been accused of bias in its breaks it coverage with the majority of its guests said to hold a pro e.u. stance that's according to several recent reports which have prompted anger in britain's house of lords. for a tree is a pretty p.c. has become the supporter of for organizing. for you. dave ricks it's true mr du the dude who said to me recently that his job in brussels for this movie even more difficult it is return he makes a small advance for his problems of mind for the b.b.c. . to order because you do have a duty of impartiality. the report was by an organization called civic task and they amusingly called it the brussels broadcasting corporation and they found that
4:22 pm
over a long time period ten years up to two thousand and fifteen out of more than four thousand guests who were asked to speak about the european union just a tiny fraction of one hundred thirty two of them were in favor of this but today's report is from the institute of economic affairs and it allows two of the b.b.c.'s key panel political shows if you like so question time and any questions and they found that out of six hundred panelists who were invited over the last eighteen months two thirds of them supported remaining in the european union with just a third of them supporting it and not only that but if you recategorized the people who did support remaining in the european union but are now implementing it inside the government you'd still have a sixty forty split against bracks it has a little bit of what we're talking about you cannot leave free access to
4:23 pm
a market of five hundred million people without making yourself poorer than you otherwise would be actually one of the immigrant is no longer welcome ham polish really for twenty three years never been discriminated until breaks it came about can you please. i've got some other quotations i was saying in the spirit of bricks where you just have to listen to the news as a generalization and you. service eagerly won his listen to the newsroom recently heard the unsponsored broaches terminology for audience the b.b.c. has sent us a statement responding to this latest i.e. a report it says that these programs are not single issue programs and also that it doesn't just invite politicians it invites commentators and leading figures from across the life spectrum in this country it also says that the b.b.c. is no longer reporting on this binary choice leave all remain which the electorate faced in the referendum they're now giving the public the opportunity to hold
4:24 pm
politicians to account over the way that they're implementing breaks it but we've also contacted several unions and other organizations that represent journalists and we will bring you their response when we get it the editorial guidelines of the corporation say it must be inclusive and reflect a diversity of opinions we can now discuss the issue further with our guest mark littlewood director general of the institute of economic affairs and welcome to the program now your latest report suggests two thirds of guests on b.b.c. television supported a pro e.u. stance are you surprised that that's even possible on britain's flagship broadcaster. i was surprised my impression is being we looked at these two key flagship programs i think we just had a clip from one of them on question time as a television show that goes out on thursday night with five panelists and then we also looked at any questions a radio program that goes out on friday nights with four panelists and we actually
4:25 pm
looked across the board at all the panelists not just what their stance of being in the e.u. referendum in twenty six staying but we looked at genda which political party they supported where you would presumably reason we put them on the left right spectrum we look at a whole host of things and actually for gender balance or the representation of ethnic minorities they seem to get a pretty good baby say i need a party political balance you had basically the same number of people in the right of the spectrum as from the left of the spectrum but on the issue of did you support britain coming out of the european union where you've already stated the figures it was sixty eight percent of these probably so voted for remain as far as we can tell in the june twenty sixth a referendum and only thirty two percent for leave now it is true that we are no longer in a referendum period and it is true as the b.b.c. said in a statement they are focused you with but it's no longer a binary choice but the problem is this although there are
4:26 pm
a wide range of choices do we leave without a day old do we stay in with a transitional period do we stay in the single market do we stay in the customs union and if so for how long well there are now a wide range of options really those range of options are subsets of the remaining camp and the leaf cap so you if you have over represent the remaining camp you are likely to be over representing on your programmes people who fight for example staying in the single market and if you're under representing the league you're likely to be under representing people who believe that britain could leave with no deal and fall back on w t t so i think it's pretty poor that a public broadcaster is skewed that guests are. so dramatically in this direction of all the top political issue of the times here in europe or followed another one which claimed the phony out of four thousand guests over ten years only one hundred thirty three of those had been in favor of the braggs it is quite shocking figures wouldn't you say. yes i do i mean i think if i was going to tell you some sympathy
4:27 pm
for the baby say i think one problem they've got is that in general in britain the stagnation figures famous figures and influential people have tended to be in favor of a you membership it's more the ordinary man or woman who rebelled against the political stablish intense believe side so if you were to look at for example all six hundred fifty pais in the british parliament an overwhelming majority something like three quarters back remain in the referendum and only twenty five percent back to you completely out of kilter with public opinion so i suppose the default position if you're just inviting on politicians let's say more or less at random is likely to be skewed towards the remain site the same would go to. major businesses in britain as well as he tended spoke remind it tended to be small enterprises that supported lee that seems to me that the baby seat has not done much internally to combat that if you like that before a problem back in built by slaves just allowed it to to appear in much of their
4:28 pm
programming and in particular to flagship programs where you looked at overwhelmingly biased towards one side at the site and when the b.b.c. say well we're trying to balance off a whole range of different things not just people who start some for exit leave panel discussions to discover issues to discuss issues other than the european union well there's a fair point there but really with rex it being the dominant issue facing britain the top political issue of the last couple of years it seems to me that balancing for people's views on bracks it and making sure you have a fair share of voice from both ends and all ends of the argument should be a very very high priority and data is the number one topic and therefore i think it should be part of large the number one issue you're trying to balance for on the baby see that but public broadcaster is not a private broadcaster publicly financed you have to pay for the b.b.c. if you have a television set and live. the united kingdom and i i think they're not really
4:29 pm
fulfilling their obligation to the public by skewing guests in this particular direction that's very disappointing indeed it is the case of the b.b.c. has been acting in contradiction to its official guidelines which state there must be diversity and impartiality of opinion always likely to see any consequences for the b.b.c. well i think that. you showed in before this interview in your clips some of the anger in the house of lords i think the politicians on the leave side of the argument those who are in favor of projects that are beginning to lose their patience with the b.b.c. the b.b.c. will argue that they always take flak from every side people on the center right complain the center left people in the center left implying that the center right and if you are taking sort of equal amounts of flak and criticism from all sides of the debate well perhaps that's a sign that you have got balance but i would say that the baby so you now should be concerned that there are politicians who are seriously raising in the british
4:30 pm
parliament in the house of lords in particular in the clips that you just showed genuine concern about whether the baby so you really can be considered a neutral broadcaster one that doesn't tell you versatile your views but a proper balance and if the b.b.c. starts to lose the faith of politicians and the public in that key question of neutrality then i think over the longer term i have a great deal of problem justifying their present funding and possibly even the present basis of their existence mark little word director general of the institutes of economic a fast thank you for your time. little chunk has been caught on the hook mike saying he will release a controversial classified memo allegedly detailing a piece of surveillance powers by the f.b.i. it happened as the president was leaving the chamber also his state of the union address he was on five republican lawmaker jeff duncan to release the memo. really .
