of support he has do you think that likely that he would face the death penalty in the us. that is a very difficult question i think what is likely said if you work to be in some way whisked off to the u.s. extradited or rendered in some manner then he would face an extremely unpleasant situation there whether it's actual death penalty carried through or some sort of maximum security detention which is the case which has been the case with chelsea manning it is of such a magnitude that it would be likely to be illegal under our european human rights law to allow for him to be sent to the u.s. so whatever the exact outcome it would be a deeply disagreeable one and one which would be dangerous to his personal safety it would be august senior lecturer in law at bristol law school thank you for your time. us republicans have released

a document alleging the man behind the trunk russian dossier was not only funded by the clinton campaign but was also fed information by it mr steele's memorandum states that the report was information that came from a foreign substance who is in touch with a friend of the clintons it is troubling enough that the clinton campaign funded mr steele's work but that these clinton associates were contemporaneously feeding mr steele allegations raises additional concerns about his credibility. and so-called trying dossier was compiled by a former british intelligence officer kristie hill and claims to establish strong links between russia and donald trump during the twenty sixteen election still dossier was criticised for containing flows and being unverified but it was still reportedly used as the basis to secure surveillance on team trump and it became an important part of the investigation early however it was revealed the document could have been funded by the campaign of his rival hillary clinton if the latest
3:32 pm
claims that clinton affiliates also fed the information to it's all with a turn out to be true it could potentially undermine the anti-a collusion probe. but did we catch them in the act or what you know what i'm talking did we catch them in the act they are very embarrassed they never thought do they get caught we caught them basically you have a opposition research which proves to be propaganda not even factual information that led to the appointment of bob mahler to investigate trump for russian collusion that appears not only not to have happened but to have been invented by the democrats paid for by the democrat national committee and the clinton campaign and now they're investigating trump i still think the funniest part about this is they want to say drop well we couldn't find to be collusion so it must be obstruction of justice that he fired the former f.b.i. director what was he obstructing if there was no justice to be served because what
3:33 pm
they were investigating wasn't even true i think that's laughable the republican party early have released a memo outlining a potential bias on the part of the f.b.i. and the department of justice and is trying to pressure probe the document faced criticism from the democrats but republicans now say their investigation will proceed to encompass even more prone to is that the government's. yes so let me get to that so phase one of our investigation was just getting to getting at the pfizer . what we're looking at now is the state department and some of the irregularities there. and some of the most vocal critics of the memo have been the washington post and the new york times that journalism is currently the subject of a new film but as the mirror con explains journalistic values can change over time the washington post and the new york times once established themselves as shining beacons of true journalism
3:34 pm
a brave group of reporters who would stop at nothing to find out as much as they can in their quest for truth but i'm actually talking about the seventy's back then new york times and poster as risk jail time by publishing classified documents on the vietnam war the new york times begins its explosive series based on the pentagon papers publication of a covert version of the war that recount due to much of the optimistic talk to me that official state. now daniel ellsberg leaks the documents to the washington post you want to learn more go to the movies and check out the oscar nominated film the post seems like the perfect robot alter trump attacks on the media and according to the creators that was actually the intention one thing that both of these areas have in common that really attracted me also to tell the story is two presidents. declaring war on the news media i really feel that we shall overcome what all of us have been so subjected to over the past sixteen months while spielberg's
3:35 pm
political message is pretty difficult to miss even in the trailer you probably will be green court next. week. what are you going to do this is ok and what are those two newspapers up to these days well they're not exactly true to the idea of exposing the intelligence community the washington post was one of the loudest voices against the release of the nunez memo why because this classified document which alleges misconduct by intelligence services quote in danger's national security and wa po published a number of articles predicting devastating consequences from the memos released and slamming donald trump while they were at it and media who are in favor of the memos released got bashed as well the clip on paid for fake news russian propaganda da ca of course was used by the obama administration to obtain pfizer warrants to surveil members of the trauma campaign. and
3:36 pm
the new york times who exposed the pentagon papers back in the seventy's were also against it so the cia and f.b.i. went from bad guys hiding their secrets from the public to a pillar of society standing strong against the evil trump the irony today among many ironies is how the mainstream media forgotten their own history the new york times washington post today when it comes to a songe and others call him the worst threat to our republic is that we've ever seen but just years ago decades ago this same behavior. now lauded in the movies seem to herald this particular type of behavior that is showing again the unmitigated and unbelievable hypocrisy that astounds me daily so there you have it the same outlet that has democracy dies in the dark as its slogan would prefer its secret intelligence actions never see the light of day

drugged to you couldn't even talk to my mother's name is laura has been cooler she's seventy five years old where we went to see her she wouldn't talk she wouldn't laugh she wouldn't cry with me do anything she would just sit and stare like she wasn't even there if you have dementia and somebody in a nursing facility doesn't understand what your needs are you could be given an anti-psychotic drug and you end your life not being yourself not being understood and there is no reason that this should happen according to the study almost one hundred eighty thousand people mostly with dementia are given anti psychotic drugs each week drugs are often administered without the consent of residents all their relatives we spoke to one of the research is behind the report. people with dementia who live in nursing homes often have behaviors that are considered difficult for staff. and so rather than investigate what the cause of that
3:40 pm
behavior is often their staff are very quick to start prescribing these kinds of medications which have a strong sedative effect and so that means that many of these residents end up being drowsy on able to communicate and so that it basically facilitates life for a foreigner say home staff the problem here is that really the medications are being used not to treat a medical condition but to control the behavior of residents who are considered difficult all nursing home staff are basically drugging people into a state where they are constantly sedated that is not appropriate care it's use of practice and it needs to stop patricia mcginnis from the california advocates nesting home reform tone is that anything you said anti-psychotic drugs poses a real threat to the lives of people with dementia. at least one hundred seventy
3:41 pm
nine thousand people every week who are treated here and who have dementia who are treated with anti-psychotic drugs. it's easier to drug somebody up it's less expensive than having adequate staff we have very we can force but system in this country certainly in california it's weak so one of the ways to control people and control behavior people who have dimensions to give them and i psychotic drugs even the f.d.a. has noted that you're when you give somebody with dementia anti-psychotic drugs you have a two times higher chance of death it can cause people to like you said before to become zombies and i psychotic drugs can cause death and i psychotic drugs can cause heart palpitations and heart issues with people we really have to look at what is informed consent and make it national make it at a federal level that this isn't form consent and unless and until you have that
3:42 pm
from every single person every single resident or their representative you simply cannot give anybody one of these kinds of drugs. turkey's president which up tayyip erdogan has accused the u.s. of plotting against tank right inferior it comes amid a fall out between nato allies over turkey's operation against us back to kurdish militias in syria why does the us continue to send weapons to northern syria even after eyesores been cleared why are you still here why do these weapons still arriving you must be plotting against turkey iran and perhaps russia. ankara began operation olive branch in the african region just over three weeks ago and now it plans to expand it to the syrian town of man beach the town hosts u.s. troops which helped kurdish forces defeat i still in the area but turkish president demanded washington with a draw its forces from man beach threatening to target the u.s.
3:43 pm
soldiers and corps says it started the military campaign in the region to defend its border as after the pentagon announced it was training a so-called security border force led by the kurds and the washington later backtracked on this announcement the move deepens the rift between the two countries they're saying by gee from ankara as middle east technical university says the crisis of trust between turkey and the us may have catastrophic consequences the moment the turkish government his presidency not to be confident towards american policy is probably. distrust. problematic understand the truth will continue america is in other words the protector of the kurds this is the problem turkey is getting more and more. along probably the americans rule not view draw. rule

3:49 pm
patriots going back to the old drawing board to figure out what went wrong and develop new ways to lie cheat and steal their fellow schemers here in washington d.c. have also had themselves quite the busy weekend since the trump administration unleashed the controversial and much talked about five as a memo on friday written at the behest of the house intelligence committee chair republican governor knew as the memo claims the f.b.i. and the justice department abuse their surveillance authority on trump's twenty sixteen presidential campaign you see apparently they used the illustrious and controversial steel dossier to secure a surveillance warrant from the pfizer court against the trump campaign's carter page but actively chose not to disclose to the buys a court that the dossier was paid for by democrats and republicans as opposition opposition research against donald trump and had not been legitimately verified or
3:50 pm
corroborated. since the unredacted memo drop we've seen an incredible amount of teeth gnashing in the sanctimonious hypocrisy by both members of the major political parties here in the states as well as current and former surveillance state icons all declaring that the memo and its release are an outright attack on our sacred law enforcement institutions namely the n jellicoe folks over at the federal bureau of investigation from john mccain tweeting that the latest attacks on the f.b.i. and the department of justice serve no american interest no parties no president only putin's to former f.b.i. director james comey standing up for his former colleagues declaring also appreciate the f.b.i. speaking up i wish more of our leaders would but take heart american history shows that in the long run weasels and liars never hold the field so long as good people stand up not a lot of schools are streets named for joe mccarthy. you're right james weasels and
3:51 pm
liars never hold the field they just get f.b.i. headquarters named after them. so what the fight is a memo out doing justin timberlake for the biggest bomb of the week and let's let the eagle soar and start watching the hawks. get the. real thing it's like. as you get to the bottom so if you. like you know that i got. a look at. this. week so. welcome everyone to watch the tyrrell ben turner joining me today the great city of texas is the former euphoric strategy youth vote strategist and spokesperson for the twenty sixteen from campaign author and dentist
3:52 pm
one salad lost to the third sal always a pleasure having you on great to be here so man i have to i'm sure poring over the memo and all the chatter surrounding it as a as a as a young trump supporter what did you what did you take away from it what jumped out at you the most. well i mean that's everything we need if you've been following this story like many big supporters and for a couple of the campaign have you expected this to come out we knew there were abuses especially with the characters involved like mccabe rosenstein and others so it wasn't a surprise to me. i am glad it finally came out i'm glad that they put gabby at the front of it because i think he holds a lot of respect on both sides of the aisle when it comes to him really giving everything in equal opportunity under the law so i'm glad he's out there and talking about it and i think we have a long way to go on this like penn said and others there's a lot more memos to come out and this is only the tip of the iceberg most
3:53 pm
definitely most double you know it's interesting keeping with our wonderful football metaphors the hypocrisy of football was being thrown all over washington this week in the wake of the release what's what's stuck out to you was the most egregious example i mean for me it was going to democrats defending the f.b.i. as an institution that you know during the bush years they shredded i think justifiably for agents consistence kind of bending abuse of our constitution the bill of rights that jumped out to me what else jumped out to you is the the wonderful hypocrisy of the ball was thrown around. well i think it was keeping the truth from the american people i mean you look at what schiff and other democrats have done they first tried to fear tactic that this was going to release you know valuable information to our enemies and counterintelligence tactics which it did not it's not reveal any source is there anything and then now they're going into destroying people's careers like nunez and others who wanted this to be public so the so that's what has struck me the most is just their ability to. try to deceive
3:54 pm
the american people and be go after honorable people's careers are just trying to to follow the trail on all this corruption and that is and it's an interesting dynamic and i think especially when you look at the flies of course i mean you've got people sounding off about this for a long time journalist radley balko recently tweeted quote you know the pearl clutching over alleged misleading info on the page warrant application reminds me of gaffes over the no knock raid on metaphor and when the political class gets the tiniest taste of injustices inflicted on regular people daily they make themselves into mendell of it's a great quote just how disconnected is the washington political elite and these guys on the hill who are voting for this kind of surveillance they tactics and then you know and then suddenly when it's this kind of brought to bear it suddenly all my goodness what this exists i can't believe this yet all of us the civil libertarians and the a.c.l.u. and all that have been talking about this for years of these tactics. exactly and i
3:55 pm
think it's time we put it check on this i don't think any american would agree that we need to get rid of this completely there definitely needs to be checks and i think you're definitely seen the hypocrisy going on with congress i mean if if everyone in congress doesn't know already that every single one of their e-mails as well as every every other american citizens e-mails are being looked at or can be looked at by the f.b.i. and that these type of you know political inclinations can happen when going after certain issues like with carter page you know something have to be done and it's a hypocrisy i mean we do have the democrat memo coming out so it will be interesting to see but i thought one thing that was interesting since we're talking about hawkers see is according to the latest numbers when the republican member was brought to the house members where they could come and read it before it was released to the public you had over two hundred things hundred twelve republicans read the memo with about fifty eight democrats you read it now the democrats and those four house members to come up and read and i think eighty nine or ninety
3:56 pm
republicans have read it and fifty seven democrats have so actually less democrats have read the democrat memo than rather republican memo this is the hypocrisy it's all about politics right now it's all about saving faith i mean the d.n.c. is dead broke hillary clinton lost they have nobody to replace obama or bernie sanders right now and so democrats are kind of lost and and right now politics is getting the better of them when it comes to this important issue and that's one of the things i want to ask you both to you know as someone who you work for campaign in two thousand and sixteen how are these controversies you know one after another whether legitimate or not you know how are they playing on trump supporters and you know have do you feel they're going to be a big factor i mean from the memo to everything else are they going to be a big factor come come the twenty eighteen midterms i mean now it's a very we have a huge drop in the stock market the definitely hard on him because he's tired of success a lot of times verbal lead to the stock market so how is this playing out and when your pain. he has mentioned the stock market
3:57 pm
a lot he didn't mention it today at all if you notice that we're going to. we're going to bury you know cincinnati he stayed away from that but i mean if you look at the economy the economy is great and all the signs are pointing towards great economic growth in the future for this country and i know donald trump has said a personal goal of reaching thirty thousand on the dow jones before his eight years are up so we'll see if he gets there but you know there need to be a correction the you know the market doesn't always go straight up all the time and we need a little correction and hopefully that's what happens and and with the great things donald trump has done like tax reform and reduction and regulation reform that will continue to see growth. but going forward to the twenty eighteen midterms i know you've asked me this many times on this show and i've yet to say that i'm worried you're seeing the polls bounce back for a publican's in the midterms the r n c is raking in a record amount in number one an awful lection year and i think with the memo and more things that are going to come out before then and hopefully as well getting
3:58 pm
something done with immigration reform that's the kind of energy that needs to continue within the base and with and i want some supporters to get them to the polls as they did in two thousand and sixteen so right now i am still not worried and i think these type of things only keep energizing the base and i have yet to come across any friends or other people that i've known that have disliked donald trump or like him have that support waiver and i've seen those never trumper they're coming around so you can buy in the twenty sixteen electorate with those never jumpers come in around him maybe stayed home or go to third party transfer over to donald trump you could see a big big turnout for republicans and twenty eighteen you know i want to ask you this is kind of a interesting thing the outside of the drum political realm. you know after looking at pictures of the amount of best i could say kind of police state style security on the streets so many apples during the super bowl should we be rethinking or form the message policies i mean when if we have to turn this i don't know if you've seen them but it's incredible you sheriff drive have like soldiers you know if we
3:59 pm
have to turn our streets into a d.m.z. just to play a football game something's going wrong here we have to you know that's not just security it seems. yes we want to be safe but you know if we're worried that something bad is going to happen then not a mover like you know we need to step back and rethink this. i think it's a sign that we need to step back and rethink immigration like chain migration and other issues that donald trump is wanting to fix of course we don't like to see those images in the united states we're not a third world country we're not an issue a country that has to deal with an extremely high crime rates like others do. but it is a concern and i mean terrorism is a big concern for many people in this country and you know we've had a lot of recent attacks foiled that could have been west and they and they where you've seen you know concerts being attacked like erring on the ground but there's a certain point those were when you look at like policies overseas if we're drone bombing you know weddings and maybe you know obama did that trumps continued
4:00 pm
escalated the drone war that's what creates more terror you know we can all agree on that so you know at the end of the day shouldn't we be rethinking that foreign policy i mean from did run on kind of hey we need to pull back and do this less and you know in order to stop creating this kind of animosity we're going to come home and do it to us. could there be more analyzing of that and a half step back i would agree with you on that but donald trump also run on letting the military deal with the military knows how to and that's take out enemies and right now those are terrorists and so i think donald trump might be getting too much freedom and trust in those commanders and what they want to do because after all i mean that's what they do they go to war and they take out the enemy and so maybe pulling those reins back a little bit might be a good idea to reassess that but you know that's something we'll have to look at in the future and hopefully there can be bipartisan support for that look at us both
