gossip and hearsay being used. you just mentioned. you just mentioned going to james here you remember when the quote unquote trump das a russia da ca came out how everybody wanted death shop it around after buzz feed let it go everybody wanted to shout but look at this look at that l mazing amazing of course they were a bunch of fools they didn't even know what they were reading i read it and thought this is ridiculous on the get go but when it comes to a memo about information that the d.o.j. in the f.b.i. have cole a did and made available to these investigations these committees here liberal media doesn't want to say a word about it except for it will be a danger to national security you know what the liberal media is the danger to national security go ahead james that's right and that's why i'm reserving my let's say excitement and celebration over the release of this memo when it comes out it's going to be a silver bullet to shut this down yes i think some of the cancer may be cut out of the bureaucracy and maybe some of it won't be my concern is that it is fundamental

purpose to make sure there could be no rapprochement with moscow that relations would stay very bad unfortunately i think it's largely succeeded in that purpose i have people who are defending trump referring to the seal memo for example say and it's full of russian dirt in putin's propaganda and we have no way of knowing where this british spook got this or how reliable sources were how much of this was just made up because they were getting paid your client wants dirt will give you dirt well but the russian bad narrative has been so entrenched now i'm not sure how we get it out you know that's good that leave that's interest that's a very interesting well and i agree with them completely because they die it's been cast on that element there ok across the board you can there if you question it to your viewer your europe. your useful idiots but the interesting thing also that well you know the media the i mean everything on hold 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 awards 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 the 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 distant permission 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 trouble my former boss steve benen got in trouble for saying the it

was treated that treasonous trumped our meeting right steve admitted in his apologies walk back he hates russia to lead to what you don't have anything here is what you know i'm going like 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 us. we have a great we need to strengthen the for the free flow. and. to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred forty four for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i hope. bring some of that waiting spirit to the r.c.c.

. recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will come from that throws or as we've. thousand old jokes i was only kidding here i called rush. dr. no i left left left more or less ok stop that's really good. local wal-mart is selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that they don't. produce off predator tell you that it's not because of the tabloid bias files of the most important news today. about how you think you are not cool enough to fight their product. these are the hawks that we along with our loved ones.

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 nullify 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 nullify the muslim mother investigation go ahead

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 can 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 and keep magnitsky act. corp the reason why is this is

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 know that i think that you're absolutely right but you are really broadening out here ok i want to make sure we don't because you have a deep knowledge of it just like a.j. does and james as well yeah i mean let's maybe i should rephrase my question what about the perception of the taliban 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 assembly see all trump needs to say is this i fired moller because there's no

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 u.s. 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. know what you're doing and i'm going to cut you i'm not overwhelmed that you went down this as. but it actually proves a point here james brings up this point we have these two narratives out there

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 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 and 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 what i think it took to lead 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 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 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

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 been 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. absolutely no fusion g.p.s. limbaugh they don't even get what's going on there and the left goes oh no no she's

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 and oasis right here on cross talk 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 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

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 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

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 it and they couldn't they certainly couldn't rely on anything that bernie sanders stood for that's what he did is that she 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 though look obviously there are a lot of people here should or should go to jail i have to tell you honestly i am

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 where 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. now here is jam being the very minute you have been here but if we did not 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

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. this little bundle of joy he would have no chance of surviving in the one mother is can only win one come at a time but usually. every year china puts a lot of effort into making up for this cruel mistake of nature. is just. china's penda breeding has become something of a production. it's almost as though they've been copied three d.

printed and put on show for the public. several cups of bone here each year. but only by dedicated scientists will be for nothing if panda of can't be encouraged in captivity it's not as though they don't practice a tool but in the same lazy way. they do everything else in this proud big business to twins and has no idea that a special love potion was formulated just for the. disease says harlan kentucky. over all of this move the employees to go green street families leave. a co money since it was almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal

miners are said i'd. love to see these people the survivors of 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 happened it's happened. i want to show people of russia that there is a knob there point of view and this is the goal of my complaint i know you can't win on the elections where only point it always wins for those of talking what would be if i would win i will never win on the elections like in a casino where all always because we know we.

have. the b.b.c. is accused of bias as the u.k.'s house of lords questions at the corporation's brags of coverage following the release of damning reports we. hear from one of the authors. i think it's pretty bold that a public broadcaster a skewed finalist so dramatically in this direction political issue. donald trump is caught saying he will definitely release of the contents of a controversial classified memo alleging abuse of surveillance powers by the f.b.i. . under.

our broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our thomas certainly glad to have you with us now the b.b.c. has been accused of bias in its brags of coverage with of the majority of its guests said it to hold a pro e.u. stance that is according to several recent reports which have prompted anger in britain's house of lords now the corporation's editorial guidelines however say it must be inclusive and reflect a diversity of opinion making heard the full spectrum of voices on the political stage but the reality appears to be quite different in practice. across our output as a whole we must be inclusive reflecting the breadth and diversity of opinions we must give due weight to the many and diverse areas of an argument.

to leave has left us with a group of leaders who having lit the fire of all runaway breaks it is a historic mistake i want to but if it breaks my heart i lie in bed tonight worrying about the outcomes of backset once again i'm the soul reaver on a v.c. panel. frankly the p.p.c. has become the supporter of a foreigner organize ocean. for the european union of the brics it's true mr david did this city recently that his job in brussels is move even more difficult if every time he makes a small advance that is probably on the mind for the b.b.c. get short actually in order because you do a duty of impartiality. we spoke to mark

a little were director general of the institute of economic affairs which was behind one of the reports on the b.b.c.'s coverage. but it's 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 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 or there are now a wide range of options really those range of options are subsets of the remaining camp and belief cap i think is pretty poor that a public broadcaster is skewed that gets some panelists so dramatically in this direction on the top political issue of the times. 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 status and intense believe sight it seems to me that balancing for people's views on bricks 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 indeed. 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 baby say will argue that they always take flak from every side people in the center right compline a center left people in the center left complain that the center right and if you are taking sort of equal amounts of flak to the criticism from all sides of the fight for perhaps that's a sign that you have got talent but i would say that the baby say now should be concerned that there are politicians who are seriously raising in the british parliament in the house of lords genuine concern about whether the baby so you really can be considered a neutral broadcaster one that doesn't just show

a diversity of views but a proper balance and if the baby see starts to lose the faith of politicians in the public. in that key question of neutrality then i think over the longer i have a great deal of problem justifying the present funding and possibly even the present basis of their existence r.t. contacted various unions and organizations that represent journalists for their reaction for now we have only had a response from the o. s. c.e. which refused to comment. and the white house says it plans to release a controversial classified memo allegedly detailing abuse of surveillance powers by the f.b.i. the announcement comes after donald trump was caught on a hot mike saying the same as he was leaving the house chamber after his state of the union address but it's really. one hundred. right it is claimed the document reveals f.b.i.

abuse of the foreign intelligence surveillance act particularly with regards to claims found in the infamous dossier and if confirmed it could damage confidence in the bureau and the ongoing probe into trump's ledged russia links the memo was drafted by the chairman of the u.s. house intelligence committee which voted on monday to make it public some house members who read the memo called it shocking and worse than watergate president trump has until friday to decide whether to release it so there has been a huge call to make the document public with a hash tag release the memo trending both on twitter and facebook however top democrats believe that this call is yet another kremlin plot they have demanded the social media giants reveal that it was russian bots promoting the hash tag no twitter facebook could deny this democrats are now pressuring both companies to find evidence of moscow's. your replies have raised more questions than they've oncet we cannot wait to know the years to learn how criminal link trolls and books

apparently exploiting your platforms to influence debates going on in congress today. i'm brian crabtree publisher of talk forty dot com and political talk show host believes that democrats profit from pushing a narrative that obscures trump's successes our economy is on fire things are happening in america for the first time in a decade or decades in the democrats want to bet on the failure of america because that's where they gain power again if trump succeeds then what do they have to offer so they'll blame it on russia that seems to be the argument they fall back on it's all russia's fault from social media to the bots i can assure you there's lots of social media antics there's lots of bots and they're probably russian and american and czech close of aki and in every other nationality you can imagine and democrats would be well served to fight the bot armies on twitter and facebook is stead of crying about them i spoke to kellyanne conway today about this senior

advisor to the president that's why i'm here in washington and she said that the president is looking over this as a memo very carefully he's concerned about the classified data in it and i didn't leave that conversation in that interview thinking that this would would absolutely be released but i think this president has got to take the risk of releasing this because otherwise the democrats win this narrative by making up more and more stories about how there's this russian connection where there is no evidence. reaction to trump's first state of the union address it was mixed from standing ovations to booing samir khan was following the speech for us. on foreign policy there was plenty of american exceptionalism mixed with platitudes and clichés he introduced the subject by naming every so-called threat to the u.s. but in general it was all pretty vague he didn't go into detail explaining how he would accomplish any of these goals but beyond that trump took credit for eliminating isis and he seemed to have hinted at continued military presence in the

region saying quote we will continue our fight until isis is defeated he ended it with north korea calling it the worst of all dictatorships warning that their pursuit of nuclear weapons could very soon threaten our homeland even though d p r k has never attacked another country before north korea's reckless pursuit of nuclear missiles could very soon threaten our homeland past experience has taught us that complacency and concessions only invite aggression and provocation i will not repeat the mistakes of past administrations that got us into this very dangerous position while russia and china have been trying to reduce tensions between the u.s. and north korea and they even called on the u.s. to not provoke them anymore but somehow they were designated as threats and from speech around the world we face rogue regimes terrorist groups and rivals

like china and russia that challenge our interests our economy and our values in confronting these horrible dangers we know that weakness is the surest path to conflict and unmatched power is the surest means to our true and great effects i was just a watching mainstream coverage earlier and the only criticism they had least foreign policy wise was that he was apparently too soft on russia and you know the united states requires to have major enemies to justify the seven hundred. billion dollar defense budget which is actually one point one trillion if you break it down so these are all important noises for the president to make the state of the union to sort of shore up support from the defense bloc as it were to chinese it does ring a bit cold war ish to russia.
