it's just. it's not something they're prepared for like i said they don't even understand the difference they don't stand that this isn't their home they don't get it right and so putting kids in this position and daniel post senning who is the great great grandson of a mean of etiquette emily post actually said that some places are grown up places there's a certain expectation that until kids are old enough you don't put them in that position to fail and i think that's the thing is is this idea that a toddler response to know how to act in a fancy restaurant or know how to do these things i think it's awful putting a lot of pressure on a kid who doesn't want to try to help look spend time with their kids not something most unlike your kid be a kid we don't need the one percent to two just how to raise a kid you're already raised us all through television and. your little war a little culture of what your hearts are as we go to break foreclosures don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered of facebook and t.v. see our poll shows at our two dot com coming up at the very time you're in the hawks this is the conservative mind of langridge best view of the liberal by the drought

and harris give us their take of some of the biggest stories coming out of capitol hill to watch the whole. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. in america a college degree requires a great deal. paying a decade's long debt. studying so hard it requires strongest. going through humiliation to enter an elite society. and partying to death

sometimes quite literally. wants other true colors of universities in the us. in the wise words of harvey milk politics is theater it doesn't matter if you when you make a statement you say i'm here pay attention to me and so it was this week that for motives self-serving or compassionate democratic leader nancy pelosi took to the off to the house floor to put on some theater of her own holding the floor uninterrupted for eight hours and calling on congress to protect aka recipients from imminent deportation amidst

a government spending battle the minority leader did certainly generate headlines but was ultimately outdone as the government appears to be on course for a long term funding agreement that once again leaves the questions of dreamers kicked a few more weeks down the road so as both left and right wait with bated breath to see what comes of this theatrical production we're joined today by political analysts and commentators. and jonathan harris to make sense of what exactly the audience can expect this week. from our favorite thank you so much you guys for coming out i want i want to start you know one of the central messages of closers speech was that she would not be supporting the broader budget deal that is being rolled out since she hasn't gotten a firm commitment that there would also be a vote of doc a job that i will start with you during the shutdown the democrats resiting tried to make clear that they weren't shutting down the government over immigration doesn't this speech closure speech contradict that narrative that they support their earlier. no i don't i don't think so i think nancy pelosi was very clear that

she was going to do this until they got a resolution on doc and you had paul ryan coming out today saying that he would bring a bill for bring it to the floor for a vote and then it would have the president's signature so i think i think she got what she wanted i think she definitely put that out there and ensured that there would be a vote on docket because in ryan now it was her goal and ryan let me ask you though this week's events it was also seemed to kind of reset everybody's narratives to a certain extent do you see this budget deal taking shutdowns off the table a win for any side or the other i mean was there a winner in this mess. well what politicians will tell you is that that both sides win because republicans get more military spending and democrats get an extension on chip then a bunch of other goodies and i think that the people who lose are really millennia old and future taxpayers who are they're just adding debt to their own more unfunded liabilities that's really the big tragic this entire deal and i think

you're going to have people both on the left and the right opposed it already that the house freedom caucus and the house the spanish caucus etc they are not voting for this bill. democrats are allegedly a corner lewis good sierra's he said today on c.n.n. that the democrats are not whipping the votes to kill the bill but they are not would be the most really to pass a bill either so i mean we'll see rand paul of speaking on the senate floor right now he's probably against the bill. yeah it was a mess as far as nancy pelosi what did she get she got a lot of attention for and not much else. have anything to say that. do you think as levy or. i mean she got exactly what she wanted she said that she wanted an agreement on doco from the house side and paul ryan came out and said again emphatically that he would bring something to the floor for a vote on dhaka and that it would pass and would get the president's signature so i think to say that she didn't get anything out of it is not entirely accurate.

exactly would she want to go to. your misunderstanding what paul ryan said paul ryan said he would bring president trump's immigration bill to the floor that doesn't mean she is getting what she wanted what she wanted what a lot of progress is want to was a clean doc a bill or some that really was ninety percent pro democrats have percent for republican paul ryan is in there saying he's going to bring the floor the bill so a bill to the floor that's going to end chain migration that's really what paul ryan was saying no and was saying that a very nice way he said he was going to bring a resolution for daca to the floor and then it would be voted on and signed by that . rather than just from getting. right i guess you can say and president trump said that he supported resolution for dakar for dreamers so i mean i guess you can play semantics or suggest that he's playing semantics with it but if you take him at face value with what he said then again like i said she got what she wanted unless you think that somehow he was. tiptoeing around his words to mislead her in the

american people in the media that he was talking to their power which i guess is all to do with tiptoe around folks like mislead the american people that's there and i hope right and you're not going to get any argument from me that i think paul ryan on the right are regularly liars so maybe we can agree on that but i mean if what he said was what i heard was what he meant and he wasn't being intentionally misleading then nancy pelosi got what she wanted ok well then there's the people sitting on then look this seems that nobody seems to really be happy ultimately with this with the budget agreement or this budget arrangement so people on the left feel betrayed because they feel like it's being pushed through before daucus fix before there's really been like you're saying a real solid plan on the table and a lot of people on the right are starting to oppose or oppose because there are huge spending hikes the deals impact on the deficit these are things that you know fiscal conservatives you know wherever you are socially fiscal conservatives aren't liking the idea of more money and no cots to start things like if we need how does

that i mean i'm just wondering where that is ryan coming through that's been the g.o.p. leadership seems to be simply paying off moderate democrats with spending giveaways an attempt to fight the immigration battle on more favorable terms what happened to republicans promising to cut the national debt and eliminate such a deficit because that is what i keep i get i hear all the time from republicans and conservatives where the spending i was i would love to know rand paul said you know fiscal conservatives where are you and i would i would absolutely love to know that you know it. george carlin family say when whenever politicians wrap themselves around children the flag or troops the american people are getting screwed and that's this bill this hundred fifty billion dollars in adding four military spending is not going to the troops the troops are receiving ten thousand dollars each for a big bonuses or big wage increases this is to military contractors in northern virginia this is the dumb donors this is absolute garbage this entire bill and it

should go down the flaming pile. a pile of flames rather but i think that i think that i think that right now what they're doing is enjoying their majority and they're just throwing that i mean they're throwing away the sequester the tea party with the tea party promise the only victory the tea party had was the sequester and they're killing it is mind blowing well let me ask you jonathan that this all sort of deal the whole deal sort of hinges on moderate vulnerable democrats putting having to make the decision about putting government funding before the parties immigration platform mummy i ask you this doesn't this imply that the democrats aren't as unified on immigration and on their platform as we been led to believe. i wouldn't say that they're not unified i think that you always have kind of two bodies in both parties you have you know the conservatives that are supporting this bill the paul ryan arm of the party i guess if you will on the right and then you have the freedom caucus part of the right that is furious about this and seems this

is excessive spending i think the democrats are the same i think you have more mainstream kind of nancy pelosi democrats and you have you know the more kind of loose luis gutierrez kind of arm of the democrats that are wondering why there wasn't you know why they didn't stand their ground on this and get more support for dreamers so i think at the end of the day bases what bipartisanship looks like and this is what the american people say they want but then you have you you have this and then you have them going why did this happen i don't want this but this is what the american people say they want and this is exactly what bipartisanship looks like there's there's domestic spending one hundred thirty billion dollars worth of domestic spending but then you also have the spending for the military which the right said they wanted so again i think yeah i think the more extreme arms of both parties aren't pleased but this is bipartisanship because one thing that i'm sorry i don't think that i think a big part of that also is that if you look at internal polling and public polling and you look at them the issues that galvanize democrats immigration like six or

seven as much as democratic politicians that a carrot immigration democratic voters overwhelmingly it's either health care and the economy education and immigration is like seven or eight immigration a much bigger issue for republicans and as for democrats and i just think that they would rather be able to deliver a chip extensions of one concern health care is more important to their vote which they got which is more important their voters and then the doctor as much as they sit there and say it's important that we have these i think that was a really interesting point you brought up john of the it's sometimes hard for people to i think especially in today's. culture it's hard for people to see compromise correctly you know it's kind of like ok we're going to have a little bit of a compromise ever got to meet a little bit in the middle because it's so hard to do that because everyone kind of has either their pet projects or their baby. no one wants to kill their babies ever was the good thing and everybody the fashion about one thing right and do you do you do are we going to see i mean when you see these four factions of what's called

for faction if you see you know democrats flitted through things with publicans with the two things are we going to see this fracture out into four maybe the individual groups that become their own parties or is this going to still stay together we're going to still kind of have those two parties stalemate. i think it will i think a large part of it will hinge upon how they handle the theater aspect of this going forward. considering that this passes and there's a government shutdown is avoided considering how they go and take this back to their constituents that's how we're going to see if this plays out well if you see the freedom caucus for example continuing to hammer away at this and saying that it's a mistake i think you're going to see a fracture i think if you see the kind of luis gutierrez part of the democrats saying you know why didn't you stand your ground on dr why didn't you stand your ground on doc and they go back to their constituency and brand of the democrat the nancy pelosi arm as well as not having stood up for daca then you'll see a fracture but if they kind of paint this as this kind of tip o'neill reagan era of bipartisanship is a good thing for the country i don't think you'll see

a fracture at all i think you'll see a more united front process and i got to run more parties they do i got to run i got one quick question i want to throw at you very quickly is so this is a two year extension if this passes that means that we're talking twenty twenty which is the next presidential election year is that not kind of a trap for both parties to fall into them that they're going to have a huge budget by twenty twenty presidential election year. oh this is congress they don't thing more than three weeks. after they think your way overplaying they're able to say ok you with. the writers goods out of there as they did you say if you go you don't always upgrade every goes over there you. will think it was a. parent's especially as children often contend with wanting to change the world their child lives in not changing their child and in the case of eighteen month old lucas warren of dalton georgia he is the one changing the world lucas was named

this year's gerber baby and a contest the baby brand has run since two thousand and ten here's the first gerber baby and its ninety year history with down syndrome chosen from some one hundred and forty thousand entries lucas wowed them with his joyful smile and a spirit that made him a perfect fit to represent that every baby no matter who they are really i guess is a gerber baby his mother court warren entered on on a whim but now sees her son as a trails put trailblazer saying quote he may have down's syndrome but he's always lucas first he's got an awesome personality and he goes to the milestones of every child we're hoping when he grows up and looks back on this he'll be proud of himself and not ashamed of his disability here's to lucas and his family who recognize the most important lesson for children to learn is to love themselves and to teach that love to others oh there's love in the show of love because that is our show today and remember everyone in this world we are love told that we don't

love the ups or tell you all i love you i am i robot and on top of the wall is watching all those hawks out there and over good. despite its turbulent history the soviet union i know has dominated international sport however this was not about the numbers of those champions from the field. right now on the charts number. the warm build their one thing with her name if you are if your brother described the order of your workers she was the first to be reserved for your you were the

the first some of you to limp fifteen with nine hundred fifty two when the polluted seats of ifas concentration camp prisoners and front line soldiers for baby in the earth it's good to go from here with you're sure you can you a much needed an issue. because you're worth the effort you're in for the one for yourself or we have to get out of you if you think that the area we're going to go with. the variations you'll push you over through personal first floor into shows you will know when you do when you're at the national more than could be put in your work so workers here we are in the world free of rising stock and we. run it up close to the best out of. it if the high says

it's a pain to perform i had actually passed it myself to die. no said he did what you know say trust me i asked and he. has nothing to thank you all know it was slow and homo bought stuff that i didn't. oh. this continent was. so. what. was it he could with us to. yes. be patient. education. i mean. here's what people have been saying about redacted and i think it's

a long. the only show i go out of my way to want to know what it is that really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than nothing. i see people you never heard of love back to the night president of the world bank go. write a seriously send us an e-mail. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest read in truth to stand down the news business you just need dance the right questions and demand the right answer. questions. very few united states pay more attention to

where the russian and north korea nuclear issue i personally believe the us come and can come up with the solutions. deicing the us has been paying too much attention to military solutions but i hope the us would pay more attention to solution to the north korean nuclear problem.

the glittering opening ceremony heralds the start of the twenty eight winter olympics in south korea but its people who come to celebrate the event protesters take to the streets for the participation of the north koreans. but also of russian athletes the opening of the games has been overshadowed by friday's decision of the court of arbitration for sport at the very last moment dismissed their appeals against the doping related. rights supporters clash with police in an italian city that suffered a racially motivated shooting last week amid massive debate over growing nationalist emotions in the country. and

a prominent anti harassment activist of the movement has been accused by at least two men of sexual misconduct. very good evening to you my name is this is r.t. and. the winter olympics in south korea have officially begun it all kicked off with a grand opening ceremony in the host region. happening within one computer on my. own. nearly three thousand athletes from ninety two countries took part in the opening ceremony of what is the fifty third winter games correspondent any but trying to

was that he has more from the event the n.p.n. chang is flashing lights i've heard it roar a few times it is happening at the opening ceremony of the winter olympic games twenty saying oh the korean these guys definitely know out of put up a show and done the audience just take the famous rapper psi who wants to rock the world with his hand of god but to this opening ceremony special for many other reasons so let me just name a few that is the north and the south korean team was marching under the same flag then the oh a our team or the olympic athlete from russia marching without their flags and this is the first time we don't see the washington like at a little the opening ceremony nine hundred ninety two back then the athletes from

the former soviet republic march under the i.o.c. flag after the collapse of the soviet union also at today's ceremony the american team consisting of exactly two hundred forty two athletes the biggest national guard again in the history of the winter olympics i can tell you that most people don't have that seeing around me are three or four perhaps the only reason why they're a little bit disappointed is that they're not inside that arena but believe it or not just meters away from where i'm standing right now locals are protesting and. that of watching the opening ceremony of the olympics being glued to their t.v. just a couple of hours ago i saw punchers flags being burned and pepper spray being used by police.

just hours before the opening ceremony protests have erupted outside the olympic stadium as you can see this group of people that's carrying american and israeli flags south korean flags as well are protesting against the invitation of the north korean team to the chuang a lympics. though it looks like the small market trying to use the opening ceremony to deliver their message to countries south korea and north korea we didn't make we are not to cater. through the regime. right.

now at the very same time on the other side of the street there is a rival protests a much smaller one but the slogans there are completely different it says against war for peace young to go home so these people it looks like they're in favor of the steps that the governments of north and south korea have made to make sure that something is happening between the two countries during the winter olympics and young chang the number of police officers is growing so is the number of protesters these people are definitely going to stay here during the opening ceremonies so this is going to be the background of the opening of young chang twenty eight. the conflict over the korean peninsula is casting a shadow over the games and it's not only activists clashing of the crisis but also politicians.

the so. screwed to. the end of. interior of a military raid show the powerful status of the democratic people's republic of korea as long as hostile policies from the us continues and mission of the korean people's army can never achieve. the. united states of america wolf says the students shoulder to shoulder with you know their respects from the approach we're already into. the final form of the posts in here with verses of the their nuclear and ballistic missile and.

the of. the in. the south the. north korean leader kim jong un's sister arrived in south korea on friday to attend the opening ceremony top south korean officials greeted her at the airport where she arrived on her brother's private jet to north korea kim jong is responsible for propaganda and education she's the first member of north korea's leading family to visit the south since the one nine hundred. fifty's. meanwhile the south korean president shook hands with north korea's ceremonial head at a pre opening ceremony reception athletes from the two koreas marched together and

a single flag at the opening ceremony that decision was reached a breakthrough talks initiated by the north early last month. earlier a last minute appeal from forty five russian athletes and two coaches against the ban preventing them from competing failed the court of arbitration for sport the secretary general announced that really with just hours to go before the games began the athletes lawyers have branded the decision sanctions in disguise gas arbitrators of concert at the process created by the i assume to establish an invitation list of russian athletes to compete as olympic athletes from russia could not be described as a sanction but rather as an eligibility decision. did not demonstrate that the manner in which two special commission system by the i.o.c. was carried out in a discriminatory arbitrary or unfair manner my colleague nicaea and discussed the

court's decision with daniel hawkins. action from the i.o.c. and water certainly would have been positive they would perhaps have viewed this as a victory for sport as justice served against doping if you will from those of appeal from the laws of course perhaps in one of surprise those forty seven russian athletes and coaches have appealed based on the grounds that a large part of the group initially didn't face any sanctions from the i.o.c. whatsoever and another part of the group of course did receive bias had their medals their awards from sochi two hundred fourteen taken away but those were subsequently overturned because of lack of evidence by that cast the system just about a week or so ten days ago the coach is representing the athletes of course pulled no punches in criticizing this cast this isn't a take a listen i don't know what to say i'm really disappointed i can't understand the cast decision firstly cleared the athletes and now they say sorry you can't go to the olympics this is some kind of madness it's terrible not just for our athletes

but for all of international sport did i expect cas to reach this decision fifty fifty especially after thomas back in one of his later speeches pressured the court of arbitration for sport after ruled in our favor he was literally threatening the court he was almost seeing he would dissolve the court if you've ruled again in favor of russian athletes and they have been claims from the head coach of russia's news team that the i.o.c. was pressuring cathy this decision is that the case that the i.o.c. president thomas spock was certainly scathing about the decision when that came through it would have been viewed very much as a decision that undermined the i.o.c. is all thirty and also very much put a spoke in the wheel of water their investigation and on the mining also the credibility of the mclaren report cost a decision it is a extremely disappointing and surprising for. the i.o.c. we would never have expected these crews.
