11:30 pm
and security analyst we also have dimitri bob h. he's a political analyst with international and in cyprus we cross to alex cruciform he is he is the director and writer for the duran dot com are right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciate let me first go to you alex and in cyprus. i've often said on this program you have to be careful with your political rhetoric because it's almost impossible sometimes the walking back now we're in an environment as i said in the introduction anyone you don't like is a nazi or adolf hitler it tells me that the mainstream media and some politicians particularly on the left have no idea what a nazi is or what hitler was all about go ahead alex yeah that that i agree with you they have no idea what a nazi is or what hitler is about you're exactly right it shows that they've lost the debate based on facts whether you're talking about russia kate or mueller investigation of the whole russia collusion thing or even a lot of what's being said about immigration i'm not going to take
11:31 pm
a position one way or another but it just shows that they don't want to argue based on facts or logic they just fall back straight to the identity politics if you don't agree with that you're a fascist you're a nazi you're a white supremacist whatever they want to call you but it's also peter it's extremely dangerous because we'll call someone a nazi what's the press starts demonizing someone they become a nazi it signals to the general public that that nazi has to be stopped right and when you want to stop a nazi you have to resort to the most extreme of violence and a lot of times the violence can be justified because someone can say well i was stopping the next hitler i was stopping the next nazi so it leads to a very dangerous place and it's hard to walk back from it mark. for our viewers please explain to them what happened not years after hitler came to power but in a matter of weeks ok it's you know. within
11:32 pm
a three hour think six weeks hitler consolidated full power in germany and what did that mean you know he cancelled no trade unions absolutely tickle part of the press is completely suppressed distinguished after their arse on the reichstag basically all arriving political forces were removed from the scene but it's existed formally there was this should start which means a lot for the protection of the state and the nation which basically made it impossible to impeach him in a new wait when people now are talking about elections in november after nine hundred thirty three it makes no sense to talk about elections hitler was not impeached even in one thousand nine hundred fifty four nine hundred forty five one drum and it was basically a losing the war that he started so if there is any parallel it's not between he and trump if there are any people in europe who still adore hitler or his allies
11:33 pm
then look at the ukrainian government they they passed a law recently which makes it illegal to criticize the ukrainian nationalist group such as that ukrainian insurgent army which elevate themselves to the not just in one thousand nine hundred you won in one thousand forty four in large where some of them s. as a legion force us to this are still not still they started to be revealed after a lot to stop to be a part of the soviet union in one thousand nine hundred one and that continues but it continued under clinton it continued under obama the thing is for me market it's it tells me this is a mindset and. the mention it it's it's an extreme form of virtuous signaling ok i mean because it's not about arguments it's not about a debate it's about your moral standing in society which by the very gifted definition of using these terms is zero very hypocritical definition of moral standing. in society what we're seeing is the absolute polarization of american
11:34 pm
politics between the liberals and particularly the supporters of the current president and the united states and i have this absurd rhetoric of calling someone not seize an equal footing trumps administration you don't have to like him i don't like a great deal particularly domestically of what what the man is doing but this completely devalues the actual losses of the six million plus jews that died in the holocaust the twenty to thirty million soviet citizens that died the day the death toll in serbia the death of millions as well all across eastern europe it completely devalues and deal with. let me go back to alex in cyberspace mark a spot on it trivializes what fascism in what hitler's third reich did in the twentieth
11:35 pm
century the use of this rhetoric by the left trivializes one of the most. treacherous in dangerous and and least humane time in human history alex yeah the words have they start to lose their meaning because they just said so often and so frivolously that there is no meaning behind it and a lot of the people don't understand that. splendid understand the history behind the words but they're just using it to stir up so much anger and so much hate and so much division that it's going to lead to a very very bad place i mean peter you had you had the home secretary couldn't eat at a mexican restaurant the other day nielsen they are out sarah huckabee sanders at a restaurant the other day and they wouldn't serve her so i mean it's getting to the point of mass hysteria you know. i worry is that someone's going to take it a step. further yes and we're going to see violence we already saw it with
11:36 pm
congressman luis when he was on a baseball pitch we had someone come out and use violence and thank god he survived . but this is creating it's normalizing hysteria is what it's doing well if we look at the psychological roots of this it is basically avoidance over it as michael brown i think just the great american think of today as you put in his article but basically people are seeing so many contradictions like. it is the evil incarnate but we should not criticize those early school provision and finance them like to work in saudi arabia in afghanistan a bomber declare the war. he declared war on a few years ago but we have to send troops to afghanistan basically under obama and under george bush jr torture was legitimate i stand by killing people on drums how do you avoid it how you stop thinking about it well we are facing fascists you know
11:37 pm
russians are born being i sill and other terrorists but russians are bad guys because putin is so authoritarian right. you know it we have the head of the cia that has a track record of committing acts of torture. against financial people as you saw there actually this is normalizing everything is it's acceptable it's already been and where we're going with that normalizing you could be preparing society for some kind of shock where the politically impossible suddenly become somebody. already said it before it can't be said again in this world in the world today there are is really one clear example of fascism band there right fascism resurgent and ukraine in some way you could say and some of the baltic states where people literally get into waffen s.s. uniforms and celebrate. their ancestors' collaboration josh cohen writing
11:38 pm
for the right here if we can get the camera on me because it's a good article to read the title i don't is ukraine's got a real problem with far right violence parentheses and no r.p. didn't write this headline yes josh r.t. did not write this headline because reported it four years ago when it was just just cool and he he must have been living under a rock for years now he's reporting about. these ultra nationalist far right code for bad or right fascist militias funded supported and sent against their own citizens by the putsch regime that the west back to new crane days off i dar the right sector the knew that the rule geno words like are parallel police force and see fourteen which stands for the fourteen words which even have a seventeen thousand dollars from the ukrainian putsch regime for kids camps and he
11:39 pm
reports that there are these are launching attacks on roma camps anti-fascist demonstrations city council meetings and amnesty international event art exhibitions l.g.b. t. events international environmental activists and the women's day march not these just so you know western media these people that you were backing in ukraine at least the vanguard of the new government that helped brought it to power and keep it there those are actual honest to god real fascists. i already brought up the term virtue virtuously milling i mean this whole again i think you put it really well where ever you want to call on the immigration debate but you know if you have the picture of time that the cover of time magazine trump with a child i mean on so many levels that cover of is fictitious it's a throng have to write it's fake. news ok and particularly when trump found
11:40 pm
himself squeezed ok he caved whatever word you want to use. but he inherited a problem and he's still being blamed for it ok even when he took action go ahead oh yeah it was completely fake i mean the whole story was fake. the whole hysteria about the little girl nothing of about it was was even close to her getting taken away snatched from the arms for mother but i mean there's no need to go into detail the whole thing was fake news and that's why people are calling c.n.n. and time and all these outlets fake news because they really are reporting and they're fabricating fake news but i also want to get to the point that the whole neo nazi white supremacist thing is not only confined to the us the other day we saw i hate to bring iraq hillary clinton was a trinity college in dublin and she was talking about how russian president vladimir putin is trying to drive nato and the e.u. away from the arms of the us and he's the leader of the white supremacist so you
11:41 pm
know phobia movements so you can see this whole idea of everybody's a fascist except us neo liberals except us globalist except us liberal leftist is they're trying to spread it past the u.s. and it's and it's a term that's that's now becoming internationalized you know the absolute irony of that is the u.s. is preferred leader for russia alexei you know baldwin is the actually alter net still is an already existing star a scene over at the gentlemen here gentlemen we have to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some real news stay with us. in the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon moma stereos than the cia and that's i got it than fourteen all of this was costumes a. placed on the site is controlled by them and they impose the opening times.
11:42 pm
opposite it is from his office the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe must to pieces by artists like pecan so and modigliani a can't boards and sold inside this warehouse that's where the report comes in it covers up deals which are naturally discreet commercially discreet effect but also discreet because they concern fraud of some of those paintings a link to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets a kept inside the geneva freeport system you'll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the world's black box of the art business. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s.
11:43 pm
has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember in one one business show you can afford to miss the one and only. welcome to max kaiser financial survival guide. looking flower two year president. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain delegates i do watch kaiser report.
11:44 pm
welcome back across the uk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing some real news. ok let me go to d.m. here we talked a little bit about this last week since then. there's a meeting between putin and trump it's getting some traction right now bolton is setting up the background. he's not i don't think he's a person that is particularly keen on it but maybe pompei you know in trying to go in or pushing him. i am not particularly convinced that it's a good idea for them to have one on one at this point what are your thoughts well i just don't think they can produce substantial results simply because of the pressure we should trump is i don't know you know and pressure from the congress pressure from the media but what made me
11:45 pm
a lot is the reaction of the so-called liberals in the united states they're afraid of this meeting just let me call it an apple bolt from the water and of course get traded for another we even televised fest this time between trump and putin. and what is she afraid off she's afraid of a trade off between them and the trade off is going to be called an awful bomb we stop holding military exercises in europe in exchange for a while russia to keep crimea which is why i give your something and then i give you something. it's just going to create a volcano these people are afraid you know it reminded me all of the wrong reagan being afraid of going to go it reminds me of the same thing about the north korean summit that my just bring peace to the korean peninsula. meet it's if you read the you get the impression that things that ukraine is are personal position that it's being bargain with all that nationalism is exactly what. in two
11:46 pm
thousand and fourteen in the new role if if a new one is praising the support of the people at what you could make a comment to end up a bomb in ukraine and nationalism is that what has happened since two thousand and fourteen there is a nationalism there but in the nation ok mark how do you follow. a summit a one on one because it seems to me that even though russia gate is winding down it's really turning into f.b.i. gate and d.o.j. gate more than anything else but we have seen that the media is going to let this go and in light of what we said in the first part of the program it's going to be more demonization i think they should meet if they can have some substance i don't like these kind of meetings without substance yeah i are afraid that until trump gets control of his own foreign policy and there is some kind of and whatever weight to this which with the russia gate conspiracy that's going on that he doesn't really have anything that he can offer russia it's not in russia's interest
11:47 pm
to have this summit mike a. western journalist just tweeted this week the former chinese official diplomat he met with today said every country thinks america has gone crazy we benefit by doing nothing other than appearing sane and i think that's russia's best strategy at this point just sit back now there are some cards to this there is a ticking we have a timer ticking towards the end of the intermediate range nuclear forces in the new start treaty right at the beginning of this new arms race the longer these issues go on addressed and hopefully some new treaties are fashioned the worse right god forbid that they aren't renewed or or recreated in some fashion but i don't think that trump can actually bring anything to the table when his own government his own in. someways pickers in his own administration are still in revolt at the
11:48 pm
idea that he might bring a some type of transactional diplomatic relation with russia and in an attempt to improve relations with the world's only other nuclear power that could you know conceivably and the united states in a nuclear over more than a good alex kristof or a in cyprus what is your take on a possible a summit meeting mark is get done a pretty good job of giving them the pros and cons right there i just think that we it would be much better to have the second i.g. report come out on this russia gate fiasco fantasy and then he would probably have a little bit more leverage because after two years there's been no evidence and i don't think there's going to be any that with that that's a cloud that needs to leave the scene before i think that would be any kind of meaningful summit what do you think alex and cyprus i definitely think the role russia pollution thing has without
11:49 pm
a doubt morphed into the microscope and the focus being on the f.b.i. and the d.o.j. that that goes without question but saying that i think if it does take a summit with putin that then you're going to just be feeding the sharks and it's just going to shift the focus right back to to the whole trump russia collusion narrative even though there is no evidence the media will what will push that story but i also want to say one very quick thing which is i don't want to bet against trump's political instincts sometimes he does crazy stuff and it turns out in his favor you know so i mean hey be you know something we don't need you to do words right out of my mouth exactly i was going about this i say that you know he's just he'll surprise us here mark i if i were him i wouldn't want to do it before the two thousand and eighteen midterm elections that you know could you know result in power change in the house if not the senate. by. i don't know may decide to roll
11:50 pm
the dice and take you know one of the things that i find really interesting as attention to all of this here is that going back to our demonisation conversation that we were having it there is growing evidence that the more trump is demonized the more his base. can look past his blemish i got the first part of that on your go ahead. just came out ninety percent of republicans now have an approval or approve of the performance of donald trump which is the highest of any republican it isn't or are going to pull the number because when he was elected it wasn't even close to that polarization the other side of that is only fifteen percent of democrats approve of his performance which is a likewise it's the polarization of american politics alex kristof reflect upon that because you've been looking at these kinds of things that i mean he has his base are going to stand by him irrespective of the his blemishes and there are many ok but the but they know he's
11:51 pm
a known quantity them ok go ahead yeah yeah because the democrats and much of the establishment left the media they demonized his base i mean just the other day there was a pundit on morning show who said that anyone that has voted for trump should also consider themselves you know for a white supremacist so i mean they don't accomplish anything by team a nice thing not only trump but they demonize his base as well and so his base is also just saying you know what if you guys are going to call us that all day we're going to support this man and we're going to stand behind that there's no talk of policy you know the interplay interesting thing is gentlemen i'll go to mark next year the most interesting thing that happened during the two thousand and sixteen presidential election is not meeting with russians it wasn't leaked e-mails it was one sentence coming from hillary clinton deplorable zz this is what it is being amplified to the nth degree right now and she said it and the democrats are paying
11:52 pm
for it you have those numbers i give you that's not just his base this is the mainstream of the republican party who were not necessarily happy about his election and many searches rallying around them and i would guess no small number of independents as well and this is a result of russia gate. and fall outrage fatigue cannot pass yeah you may hear what i mean. when i say sion doesn't walk nationally i mean khomeini supporters did president also have before two thousand and one i want to cite syria very few were you know he was little or no ok young man i left home all were just but after the united states and they you have been demonized in him for several years he has a radical op now and these people are completely impervious to do it on facebook they have there's nothing assad gene so the curse is the end of that exactly nobody i saw goes i don't curse kim jong il and suddenly an international diplomatic rock star and so do i so i was
11:53 pm
a sisterhood and i and if it works out that actually why shouldn't it what can do and i think you can see i also want to go to the segment here. how many people does that take at the top of the f.b.i. to go down for the liberals to realize something is going wrong ok i mean how many people are gone or markable it was it was horowitz this testimony was was scathing it was stunning i mean what we learned is it's not just about lisa page and peter struck there was a whole team of f.b.i. agents that were there committee they were there were so anti trump it was astonishing and all of this is now coming out in the open it's the pure definition of a boomerang they push to russia trump collusion thing and what they ended up doing is they ended up destroying the reputation of the d.o.j. and the f.b.i. i'm alex you know the thing is i watch torah which is a testimony and you know i think even he had to begrudgingly said his body
11:54 pm
language it is told in all that is that he was actually agreed with all of the criticism and now with the his outcome of the report it just seemed very mild but if you get into the details he agreed and every step of the way the thing is market i find interesting is. we're going to come across these cast of characters one more time because the i.g. still has its russia gate investigation peter struck we're not we haven't heard the last of this guy yeah i think we will all see it certainly the republicans in the congress and elsewhere really need to pursue this they need to launch legal for study the liberal media is almost the they took the trump taking children away from their parents demon and ignored the i.g. report almost completely well i mean. let's talk of this russian conclusion the only person in jail right now is paul minor forthright and what do i read about my
11:55 pm
default in the new york times. to sign an agreement with the european union that would link that country closer to the west and what for the americans to support ukraine smegma time but this is something that should people who have a crush on me because it's not a story to add to that my. crew is not actually and it's not actually in jail he's in pretrial the only thing he's there for is tax avoidance for nothing you know we're not going to have the election only doing it but if there is one thing that can make you know that this poll want to force in pretrial detention anything that . you know this is the right way we're going to find out if with with flynn and with manning forward if the f.b.i. changed records ok then what if they're called three zero to say ok we did find out if that happened here and i think it's going to be a very interesting week generally meet is just amazing that a person is basically put in pretrial detention for doing something very broad
11:56 pm
western you know this is something the united states and the you wanted to achieve and i think you know everything on this earth is a little bit more complicated than that there are accusations of metaphor was. tampering and i think this is ok i mean if you're a lobbyist like. amanda ford and the others in washington d.c. you don't have the cleanest hands oh yes a sleaze bike but i guess we all right gentlemen gentlemen can actually jump in here but many thanks and i guess here in moscow and in cyprus this is the end of our broadcast segment stay with us for the extended version on our you tube channel see you next time and remember.
