politics driving it for him. well i think you're right i mean there is a very very great interest in domestic politics and he has made all the promises and as you say i think the first thing that steve brandon did by the edge of the white house it's a was to put up a white board and put a whole lot of the promises made and and stop taking them all but i think the foreign policy perspective the president. is one of increasing american power and extracting as much of value economically commercially financially and so on from our allies associated powers and from enemies and i think all that is down to who's our long term idea that america has been ripped up and i think if you look at domestic politics then the kind of people you defined as or americans. basically seligman same message that you have been ripped off white american men in particular by women by minorities by immigrants and so on and you lost status of

what he's going to do all restore american greatness and again going to just going to jump any aerial mailer we have on the american i have a large brain reserve sort of after i am going to short break we'll continue our discussion on american exceptionalism stay with. russia is one of the countries that most buy capacity and all the very high population does that mean russia does need to be concerned about sustainability i would say yes absolutely you are no lucky situation where you have a lot of farm per person so to say you know you have a lot of wealth ecological wealth and but the word is very scarce so that's a huge economic advantage as well and saying wow this is an amazing farm let's look after it well because that's our said that bill has made

a loss to live well in the long. close. some full complement on not. indigenous people as you know we need that. fade in. the trees. most politicians says that only. the kids. out of a sudden a man just ran and told me there was a time. i said i will enter it in the air they will not allow and. if they will shoot me. i don't know how long

a million million indeed i'm not i'm not picking on you may be been thought to be taboo don't bother going young man on man i got i got meat ok like i mean you got me are you claiming. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be ultra rich eight point six percent market sock thirty percent minus one of your some with four hundred to five hundred trades first truck at first truck and then bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars . china is building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only lubov.

come across like were all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing american exceptionalism. ok david you know ever since the oval office a lot of it's been trying to understand if there's a rhyme or reason to his foreign policy and i think that even on this program it's kind of coming together it seems to me it's kind of like going back to the nineteenth century great powers competition without all the values that they were pushed since the second world war it just it's just really kind of brute power and it vantage and looking for competitive advantage and it's very brusque and it seems to appeal just as interesting pointed out to us in the first part of the program it does appeal to his base go ahead david yeah i think you know it appears to be all

donald trump but just as you know reagan and gorbachev came out of the meeting and were told by their advisers no no no you can't get rid of nuclear weapons every time trump has a good idea like get rid of after nato he talks to his advisors and it's off the table i think that you know it was actually an actual break with u.s. exceptionalism is not on the agenda of donald trump or his advisors i mean it would look like joining the international criminal court joining the convention on the rights of the child joy in the united states is party to fewer major human rights treaties then almost any other nation on earth it would mean giving up the veto at the united nations it would mean getting out of afghanistan there's a promise i'd like trump to keep i mean this is a guy who promised no more of these wars and their family you know kill their families bomb the bleep out of them so it's easy to say he's keeping his promise because he promised black and white but that once i'd like him to. keep he's not

keeping as well as you know off you like building the wall and walking up hilary that i don't necessarily need him to keep either but this is not this is a guy who thinks it's running the world and it's dangerous to what extent he is but he's not overruling the weapons dealers or the big players in washington d.c. you know yeah michael in this that seems to be very contradictory because he said in interviews that the united states shouldn't be the policeman of the world but in fact it remains the same ok am particularly you know i mean if you look at the korean peninsula i mean a peace between the koreas denuclearization maybe the american troops could go home there be no reason from the be there and then the entire foreign policy elite has their hair on fire like oh my god please don't let it break out it will change our world ok i mean it seems to me he just go on really up against the street you know against the the stream there and he keeps coming out with these ideas i mean you

know i said earlier i mean you know threatening iran in the most course way and then say i'd like to meet you in no condition preconditions i mean the outside looking in finds that very very confusing i mean the rains have already said through their aides is that while we sit down with someone that broke a country that broke a treaty that we just signed only a few years ago i mean i how does that show that america leading go ahead michael. you know it wasn't a treaty and they didn't sign anything but that's that's a semantic problem we have been able to know well it's an international has agreed i mean no they were it was a it's multilateral it wasn't just with the americans ok go ahead. but i think the the the the point you're making is good and it's correct but if it stops and i think that's what we have to focus on is that the goals his foreign policy goals are as the professor correctly observed although i think for two reasons

different than he observes that and that is that we are interested in better trade we are interested in exercising our trade power and to increase american presence and wealth at home american exceptionalism america first through trade treaties through trade work as opposed to naked aggression and use of foreign power which other presidents have used obama was soundly criticized on the right for wanting to meet with the iranians with no preconditions i find it interesting that my brothers on the right don't have a problem with trump doing the same thing i just i just throw that out as an observation well i mean i think that you know but michael back to hang but hang on michael i mean in in the same week basically threatening hostilities with the rand and then saying you want to meet with preconditions you don't have to worry about your friends on the left or right you have to try to figure out what the president is talking about ok that's not my point and you know this was the same. you know your point is right but this is the same tactic we took with north korea you know little camera man blah blah blah you know terrible person going to face the earth

you know boss office or the next thing in our meeting in singapore this is the art of the deal this is a part of the tactics of moving forward this is part of the noise involved in making the deal and making the negotiation and doing the work and it's trump he is unique he is rare he is something we haven't seen before the swamp can't make head or tail out of them and nor can anyone else and this goes back to my earlier point which was just buckle up just as you've observed many times peter buckle up and you're just going to have to wait to see how a poil is out and response will do their best to keep their arm around it i just don't know how it's going to work out ok brace for impact ok let me go back to you here then and then ok so what is the justification for the united states being in afghanistan it's not bringing democracy there anymore apparently what what what how is what's the justification for the in the eagle behavior of the united states in syria or is it bringing democracy there anymore it's not apparently so why are they still there so i mean

this makes it very patently obvious that just brute force beyond international law this is what trumpet is opening up to go ahead. well i think you know when we look at the big picture of little change we have our whole range of new emerging powers some of which are very. recent military and they're looking around the world resources and they're looking to increase their him in order to protect their line and in. china for example is building the one built one road initiative which is going to be under right across from china all the way to spain and to the indian ocean you've got non-state actors like isis and other organizations also challenging the. allies and other regimes as well and i think what really president trump is trying to do is effectively grapple with the same problem. which post-hole or presidents of. to try to outline which is the whole world environment changed

the big difference i think with president from he doesn't really look at the idea. of building an orderly system or ordered a rules based system or rather he wants to open it up you want to loosen it up and he wants to make it more transactional but i think what he's trying to do it's look we've got this big international series of regime it's america's been ripped off it's own too much it's has too many large deficits with everybody and what we're going to do is we're going to let nationals and try to renegotiate our position and effectively the border needs everybody else ok i'm not going to be the big. ok again like i said it looks like it's going back to the great powers of the nineteenth century without all of the rhetoric at least it's more transparent david you you mentioned russia is it really worth it for trump to go down this path that we had the helsinki summit i was critical of the president's delivery at the press

conference like i was in singapore is well it's not his forte it's got to work on his game there and then he wanted another summit and then what blocked it back the russians and invited him to moscow why is this so important to him is it a campaign promise or is it just you know the media hates it when he does it and that he just pushes back to show that i am president i'm going to do what i want to do what is his fascination here go ahead david. well i think there is is all kinds of pressure on him to meet with and work with russia and to not do so and to treat russia as having attacked the united states and started a war and to engage in war with russia and everywhere in between i think that it's appropriate that the united states and russia as the major nuclear weapons powers meet and get rid of those damn things before they destroy us i think it's critical

for the united states and russia as two of the nations doing the most to destroy our natural environment to meet and start reversing all the policies david that's not so much on the agenda. i mean complete agreement with you in on this they would they would have what why it seems to me that. engagement with russia should come out very clear twitter is fine with me i need to deal with a lot of your putin to sign a new arms control agreement it's about to expire in two thousand and twenty one this is what's most important to all of humanity why can't you just write that i mean that is very straightforward and you know what david it's transactional what trump is supposed to be all about go ahead david well it would make perfect sense it would fit with some of his agenda of body it is not where he comes from it's not something he knows anything about it's not something he's hired anybody to keep around him who would advise him to do and it's you know the got the us media

and the democrats and half the public screaming at him not to do anything cooperative with russia even if it kills us all so it's not shocking that he hasn't come out with that position of but he should heat. the world and russia should be pushing him in that direction ok all right michael. where does he go from this from his russia gambit now i mean he's put it off until next year because of the midterm . arms because he can't do anything transactional because just like david said perfect crystal clear even trying to save humanity he's the bookie man donald trump is evil incarnate even if he wants to save humanity that's a problem in the united states that's a problem with american exceptionalism forty seconds to you michael my friend last word. real quick and i promise to stay and save my time what the trump never

telegraphs what he's going to do will make promises in a campaign context he'll have elude to things in a domestic policy context he's never going to say up front what he's going to do it's one of his huge criticisms of his predecessors and so because he hasn't said it's there doesn't mean it's not going to be there and he's had some surprises foreign policy wise stuff no one expected but it was always part of his design and i think that we just have to buckle up and wait well you know that's why i call you one of my donald trump sharper as that was a very good answer i like that that's all the time we have gentlemen many thanks to my guests in washington charlottesville and in northwood and thanks to our viewers for watching us here to see you next time and remember. this is. kentucky. we. want

to see you going to three families. a coal mine he said she was almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal mines are said. that it was 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 happening it's happened. of the people you know. that. we were. all dates. perience is all this. massive the growth yes.

and the psyche would not a sense that. this is. a church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that it has known as the i intend that i include at tuesday's out in.

its path. the. right we're all set to start in five. year has a signal. nice i'm going to talk about. just maybe right after the mars explorers one movie put it there. back. to say. how they illustrate. welcome to sophie and tell i'm so sorry sharon upset today with that lots to talk about in our program. an hour gas. good luck little.

good politicians do something to. put themselves on the lawn. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury or somehow want to preserve that that's right to be for us that's what before us three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters about our. first sip. but. you.

know. america's immigration agency claims police in portland refused to answer nine one one calls and come to their age or a violent protests against president trump's immigration crackdown. elsewhere a group stops its work in paris fearing violence in a volatile district in the french capital we'll tell you more about that plus this to. this registration type crime espionage. the media and the government some extra are treating it like an espionage the lawyer of. the russian woman accused of being a kremlin agent in the u.s. tells r t the case is being blown out of proportion. comedian and presenter of the daily show trevor no make top america's t.v.

personalities chart but some say his job. rule might be. something called. just say. i don't know if there's any rules but he stay away from. other good afternoon this is not international live from moscow with me kevin i just turned one pm this first of august top story than. from the u.s. no nine one one help for you if you were. the immigration and customs enforcement agency the police in portland oregon are accused of refusing to respond to some emergency calls from ice agents who said they needed assistance to handle violent protests against their agency it's facing a huge backlash right now for the way it handles migrants with an a ball aish the

ice movement staging protests across the country from caleb maupin reports these protesters are part of a national why i campaigned all over the country protesters are demanding that this one force an agency that enforces u.s. immigration law be abolished. guy. is the trump administration has pursued what i believe is a deeply immoral and haphazard policy that fundamentally betrays american values obviously that's unacceptable and the american people expect better i am today calling on the architect of this humanitarian disaster department of homeland security secretary cures to nielsen to step down so in the city of portland oregon outside the headquarters of the immigration customs enforcement agency you had

protests that took place for a month now the protesters frequently they were outside the building lots of rowdy protests there and then at that point you had members of the ice agency who were saying that they felt threatened by the protesters they were saying that the protesters of blocking the entrance to the building that they were menaced by the protesters they called the police pretty frequently so then you had the mayor of portland basically telling the police department not to respond to isis calls i've consistently stated that i do not want the portland police bureau in gauged in securing federal. pretty big houses a federal agency with its own federal police force eyes has been terrifying more people than they are it's being terrified i'm sorry they're taking kids captive this is our duty to see every human being as a human being not in a way and all the words they use is so racist it's so unfair and i'm sorry i have

no sympathy for them they chose this as their job ted wheeler is the mayor of portland oregon which is one of the many cities that are being described as what you call sanctuary cities that are not cooperating with federal immigration officials they're basically defying the federal government not cooperating with that now u.s. attorney general jeff sessions has ordered the sanctuary cities all across the united states to start complying with the federal immigration officials but they're refusing to do so some people are saying that like these immigration policies are dividing the country tearing the country up trump is dividing america what do you say to those people i'm saying trump is to doing what's necessary to make this a country under obama we didn't have a border we had a welcome mat. yet people protesting do want their opinions heard they do want action taken they do want. the family's words have been separated to be reunited these illegal and he is country and gets

everything for free oh my tax dollars ok how do you think about that. political blog to the broad and low good told us refusal actually to protect ice agents from harassment could be seen as a violation of the u.s. constitution. every person has their right as a u.s. citizen so they're breaking the law they're breaking the constitution the case in which they're talking about is as to ice ages walking being harassed by protesters the local police superior to. the protest and where the day in making a federal government come in and put boots on the ground i think that regular police would be a much better alternative than have been a federal police come in and try to protect the streets. more conversations like this this is not anything new to be going on for a little wow ever since trying to get elected and he's people are totally

irrational and they're driven largely by the mainstream media as long as the mainstream media is complicit if you continue to see more things like is unfortunately. the volatile atmosphere in a paris district forcing one pro migrant group to end its crucial work there according to volunteers the area is now unsafe and evening minimum safety measures are not being met the group's been working in the most two years distributing more than two hundred fifty thousand meals and supplies as they've gone trying to do their best charlotte dubin ski reports. in paris is a gritty eighteenth hante small town hundreds of migrants clustered together on the streets they gather here as it's where food is distributed by a local follow to group but after twenty months solid data to me call wilson looks set to close its doors saying they just can't take anymore the thoughts of it's become more tense we're serving around seven hundred breakfasts every day to

migrants who live in terrible conditions they have nothing not even tends to sleep on the ground and sometimes woken up by the police in the morning they kick them and use tear gas to move them so when they come to us they're stressed and nervous twice last week we had to stop serving food to let the tension calm down this is something new for us so yes we're stopping migrants have been expelled by police in this area many times philip tells me that despite this they come back and every time they do this situation becomes even more desperate from the beginning our mission was to serve hot drinks and bread and we've done this for twenty months every day during the last month we started questioning our mission as we day one i volunteered to be put in danger. who is to blame for this situation for not giving enough help to the migrants on the streets is this the mayor of paris is this the government of france. is on for us is both the state is responsible for people on

the streets for taking in migrants at the same time the authorities in paris are restricting access to water taps in the summer is irresponsible they also have a responsibility towards the miners their miners who you sleep on the street and in the camp are drug addicts me the state nor the parrot administration is doing its job. with the authorities not providing enough support the volunteers giving up just a stone's throw away from haiti is an area known locally as crack hill that's also made things worse for those working to help the migrants felipe says that some of the drug addicts are also coming for food handouts and causing problems. the drug addicts are evacuated recently but nothing was done to help them and they came back to an outcome for a break for this too it creates additional tension very aggressive including towards the volunteers so this is an explosive situation. while recording the into the media think distribution point to. individuals approach or see what i saw

lambo media which serves as the alley and i was here i was only. so recently. with some of the people the streets are. filled me with not filming that scene but they just kept up with the cameras. the let me take you back see this is the. exact. thing. more people are coming nothing's being done about it and there are the drug addicts as you saw it's impossible to film people here it's becoming more difficult than before we think the situation is explosive and it puts is in real danger. by shutting up shop so legality make always know that they are cutting off a vital lifeline for phone ripping economists but as well as doing it out of concern for their volunteers they hope to move to prompt the authorities to stop

ignoring the plight of my clients and force them to take action even ski r.t. paris. made headlines last month after being arrested in the us for being a russian agent she now faces further allegations such as luring american money to russia r.t. america spoke directly to her lawyer home for ice first and that's coming up fully very soon next couple of days on r.t. america's you tube channel. well i think if you read the indictment of the case is alleged to be an agent over russia who failed to register with the attorney general and so essentially that means is they haven't charged with espionage and if you read the allegations against or know the allegations or anything spy like about it the sense of the government is conceding that even under their own theory it should fall the piece of paper with the attorney general's

office.
