i mean it's really going to be over a regime change in north koreans want to be because we don't i don't believe even if we went in and let's say we bombed the hell out of north korea to remove him from power we're not in any capacity to rebuild that country around any capacity to reeducate you know the people living there we don't have the patience for it you saw with iraq we don't have the patience to rebuild iraq in any meaningful way you know and that's why regime change doesn't work and that's why you have to read between the lines when you see stories like this at the end of the day. that's going to break our quarters don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we cover the facebook and twitter sphere poll shows that r t v dot com coming up author and speaker of the watkins joins us to discuss the controversy surrounding n.b.a. superstar le bron james and the opening of a new school in his hometown can't believe that's controversial stay tuned to watch in the office.

he gave his camera. roughly once they showed some leaves for them. to. suit your own cool videos and so on with the grumpy string that's. down more on string i don't rightly don't t.v. people in my band mean so that. we were number one in this. all day clearly insist on just him with. massive growth and. he would not.

close. some full complement on playing. indigenous people as you know we need that. fade in. the cloud trees. plus politician says that's on the behind but yet he did so. out of a sudden the man just. told me their heads tell you what. i said i when entering its beginning if they would not allow an. illegal flow should we. had all along a million million indeed on that i'm not the only new nominee to be indicted to have been you don't punish your man on man you got a fight

a guy made it ok like i mean you got the idea. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be all for bridge eight point six percent market saw thirty percent minus one of your somewhat four hundred to five hundred three per cent at the first second and good point 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 one one doesn't show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust.

a gifted professional athlete uses his fame and wealth to help out those less fortunate in his hometown we've probably seen this headline about a thousand times without the slightest whiff of controversy but apparently if that gifted athlete is n.b.a. superstar le bron james and donald trump as president this feels these feel good headline is now overshadowed by the firebrand partisan politics that dominate the political discourse today you see because despite opening a brand new elementary school in his hometown of akron ohio for over two hundred out risk kids the headline of the day has now become le bron james blastoma trump for using sport to divide the country why well because c.n.n. and don lemon choose to ask the brought about politics rather than schools you see

jenkins along with a host of other professional athletes have spoken out against u.s. president on the front war but that of all players of the national anthem which caused fox news host laura ingram to infamously declared. this is what happens when you attempt to leave high school a year early to join the n.b.a. and it's always on wise to get political advice from someone who gets paid one hundred million dollars a year to bounce a ball oh and le bron and kevin they're great players but no one voted for you millions elected trump to be their coach so keep the political commentary to yourself or as someone once said shut up and dribble. other things i just can't shut you out but joining us now to discuss james and what it says about the state of our infrastructure we need sports stars to help fund elementary schools is author an educator do you want. to go visit as well. i

mean racism to yourself or you just shut up so before we begin to. speak well dribbling. what does that say about the state of the country that kids or communities need professional athletes to come and help them build proper schools and get them proper education so number one le bron james is a global hero this isn't his first time stepping up in government should be gone and let's not forget he's the guy who had to program a two thousand and eleven wills educational wills a little education where he got kids bikes who are actually getting good grades in school he also brought the kids into school school supply. access to computers also the same guy who used his money from dribbling a basketball to send a thousand kids to college now he has this school where everyone who graduates from

this was going to go to college it's also going to have an extended school day it's also going to get job placement for their parents so he's actually fixing the whole community so anybody that would have anything negative to say about that or who would take the time to bring up something like corny right now current political climate in a good few presidents. just a little for clicks yeah and i got to say it's sort of amazing that people are focused on it isn't just laurie it isn't just like fox is on the right it's c.n.n. and imus and we see running down that same thing anyways which is why so she's right she didn't try to leave school yeah it's not true i don't know what do you talking about it's larry's. million dollars well. but there's something that's just weird to me that it's such a setting. that to do that why you know first of all he doesn't just shut up and do anything especially from

a woman like that. doesn't this kind of d.n.a. doesn't this kind of like put a blow to the whole just shut up and drive all crowd when you see that he's actually going out it's like hair i'll build a school doesn't it sort of throw in the face of everything they say that you don't do anything get out of politics and he's like literally writing checks and has a receipt was somewhat of a learning room so i understand he also poured a lot of his money into this project himself this isn't coming from like taxpayers money from taxpayers and other people so that's one to ten minutes at the top of his profession he's an american citizen as a tax and a taxpayer he's a person who has a right to vote and the right to voice his opinion so it's like if you go back to the same very system that would even give you the best of the in the news station that's silly to sit back and let somebody say that he doesn't deserve the talk like that's why it is slavery braces i'm one of the one that's disgusting if you want to be a good person if you want to be a broom nice person then you should step up and say well you know what that's all it is gonna shut up and durable but this guy is actually making his community

a better place i've actually made nothing a better place not my career and not what i'm doing with my life. and that's and that's the thing it's very easy for people to kind of sit back and throw darts and throw arrows you know that's a that's an easy thing that the society does and you see that across the political spectrum everybody likes to throw shots you know and it but it's you can't do that when someone is putting their money where their mouth is le bron stand up and do that you can disagree with how brown plays basketball you can disagree with how the broad sense which is teams every four years but at the end of the day as a community leader i just got to say that i just think as a community leader he's stepping up but what's interesting is this this side of asked to leave or celebrity speaking out and being political. or standing up you have muhammad ali standing up saying i'm not going to go to the vietnam war you know then i can use title and championship away this is old this is an old dance in the united states why do you believe there's such pushback against people who are

quote unquote in the political sphere or are lawyers or bankers or businessmen who step up and say even if it's right or left or whatever the politics are but who do step up and say not a problem with this and i'm going to call you out politically for it like why is there such pushback against that i never thought i would say this like you know maybe they're discriminating against him because he actually makes money out of these black and he makes money because joe the plumber got a whole segment the less a good speller but i mean it's joe the plumber the guy who got on t.v. and made up things about his business and things that he was doing that he actually wasn't doing that he actually was a position to do and this guy became a fox news superstar right now you have a person who's actually you know who who you know if you could back to come on being loved because you know everything he makes and does is public record. he shouldn't be speaking you know because we need to know with joe the plumber has to say like i said this oh it's so sad and distress all of the negative attention distracts away from the fact that you know this young person who. didn't have you

know the best upbringing remember where he came from remember the problems that he had as a young student and has done something to change the narrative and so many athletes who are watching this they're going to step up and you're going to they're going to they're going to figure out what they want to do to make a difference to what this is how we how we build community and we needed now more than ever because of. education secretary how that seem to involve us knows nothing about education and she ran a string of failed charter schools in michigan but yet she gets a chance to you know create education policy and she doesn't know nothing good is that's the interesting thing about it is like i was asking this like it's so weird to be living in your code. true where you see celebrities doing more to better situations than you see your own country i mean even say a lot of people don't like sean penn but he actually went down to haiti and did a lot for the country and the poet in the post hurricane and built a company that now goes around the world doing that le bron james other people i

hope that i hope the fellow you mention pro athletes one of them is i hope for is that there's there's a huge competition between athletes right now would be great then if you suddenly see them trying to topple a brawn build their elementary school we don't know what the ecology going to be amazing but it does say something horrible about the state of our country right now trying to come back with some university or the other we have these are guys that i have that are. well i think part of it is when you have a celebrity president that is sort of brings that up that everybody like all celebrities are bad so they're all trying to run to fix certain things but at the end of the day this is one of those situations where. he didn't just throw some money in something you didn't just show up to cut a ribbon you know this is a really wild. project for that specific plate it really it isn't just this whole like you know whatever i'm just going to go and build a park so the bronze school the i promise school it opens monday for two hundred forty third and fourth graders and the school expand sort of year by year and get

bigger and bigger i think as they can like grow until it's by two thousand and twenty it will be grades one through a. so you know we look at this this broad versus trump and like this idea that you know laura graham side of you know what he was a millions of people voted for and as if the rest of us who didn't vote rahm all stop and say that he still lost the popular vote you know i'm going to see even millions did but millions more actually about a year later and so you know it's one of those things but do you think this is a cultural problem or a news problem is this some probably right or left political issue or is this just . there's infection of news i'm not going to blame news i'm going to blame i'm going to blame racism because. you know shut up and dribble was code word you know it's called words monkey they know and they said we don't know what that means going to she she made the point to call them both unintelligent like she made a point the say these things that i feel like if tom brady bill to school she would

have a different tone i completely you know is the term supported us up in the air like i hear he is here to use it i don't know but i'm saying that if tom brady built the school he would be a hero it would be the best thing that ever happened but because it's le bron james and because he's not a fan of the president like most americans aren't that's proven yeah you know it becomes like this ridiculous disgust and problem it is it is and i think that we're living politics get in the way of that's the problem like you're you've got somebody who stepped up and said look i have more than i ever could possibly need you know if money was going to give back to my community and now you have the person being ostracized now for that action i don't think anyone is going to come. so we shouldn't go to school but any time but even then they change so they change the conversation to be about politics in the good nor the fact of what he's done for this community and that other people should also be picking up that mantle in any way you can you know that's the biggest thing we all have to give back in any way we can and we don't i mean we don't have le bron when he was shot dead but i'm still going to try to give

a little extra dollars to the folks on the street that i walk by in the morning who need it like i mean i mean those i think you have to do what you do what you can and whether that's buying books for schools or you know giving a little bit to help artists as are growing and things like that there's these little things that we can do and if you have millions you should be doing things like building schools not giving millions to politicians yeah. thank you so that's my thing i think of a small overhead as a cultural problem to an extent and we would rather put money in a politician than in a school in a community that's that that's a really good point yeah the deal was always a pleasure having you want to talk about this always go to i want to everybody on next week. so a joint study between the university in st petersburg russia and the laser in central institute in hanover germany a theoretical physicist tested how the great pyramids of giza would interact with electromagnetic waves and while their findings launched anyone who sees and will

see in season one of ancient aliens it is surprising the science community it seems that the pyramids are capable of concentrating electromagnetic energy within the inner chambers and within its base these findings mean that the great pyramids of giza could ultimately help scientists create new kinds of nano particles that could be used to produce highly efficient solar panels and sensors far beyond what we have available today just think we might learn the key to clean energy from a forty five hundred year old four hundred fifty six what stack of rocks the. it's been labeled the film until now turns out that a structure believed to be a place for the dead is probably the key to life hallmark. i can't believe it is coming true you are writing our lives pretty incredible right that is our show predict they will number everyone in this world we are told that we are loved and so i tell you wall i love you i am i robot to top quality keep on watching those

hawks out there another great day that everybody. exists is hotter than kentucky. we've always moved the employees you could walk through street fanny's leaving only. a co money since 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 the million years i would see that and it's how it's happened. on this edition of crossfire we consider one question is donald trump's america first policy in contradiction to the washington consensus idea of american exceptionalism the answer this question will likely define trump's presidency and change the world. this is. the church secret indeed catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it 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 perfect for it 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 so something that is as little as the i intend to include that it just is yet until. it. gets fed. by. the. oh. my god. that's what.

america's immigration agency claims polling in portland refused to answer nine one one calls to their aid during violent protests against president trump's immigration crackdown also ahead. protests in zimbabwe's capital during and wait for the results of the first free elections in decades the opposition's accusing the ruling party of widespread. registration type crimes. and the media and the government some extent are treating

it like an espionage the lawyer of. the russian woman accused of being a kremlin agent in the u.s. the tales are cases being blown out of all proportion. to the world this is r t international my names you know. your company. in the u.s. no nine one one help for you if you work for ice the immigration and customs enforcement agency their police in portland in the state of oregon are being 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 is facing a backlash for the way it handled migrants right now with an abolish ice movement

staging protests across the country and reports from one of them though. is protesters are part of a national why campaign all over the country protesters are demanding that this one foresman agency that enforces u.s. immigration law be abolished or are. car. guy i was the trump administration has pursued what i believe is a deeply in moral and haphazard policy that fundamentally betrays american values obviously that's unacceptable and the american people expect better i am to do calling on the architect of this humanitarian disaster department of homeland security secretary cures to nielsen to step down protests like this are happening all over the country and in fact there were protests in portland oregon for up to

a month up to a month leading up to july twenty fifth there were protests outside the ice office in the city of portland oregon a lot of ice employees said that they actually felt threatened by the protesters they said the protesters were menacing them that they were blocking the doors to the building and not enabling them to do their jobs properly kind of interfering with their lives they called the police very frequently now ted wheeler who is the mayor of portland oregon instructed the police department not to respond to the calls from the federal employees in this case i have consistently stated that i do not want the portland police bureau in gauged in securing federal property but houses a federal agency with its own federal police force chaired 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 it

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 now all across the country there have been protests against ice the immigration customs enforcement agency of the united states now many folks who are opposed to donald trump have been calling for this agency to be abolished however there are also going to number of supporters of donald trump who have actually been defending the agency ice 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 trump is to wing what's necessary to make us a country under obama we didn't have a border we had a welcome at. these the illegal

aliens come here and get everything for free oh my tax dollars ok how do you think about that. well political blogger for me brian logan told us he believes that refusing to protect ice agents from harassment could be 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 and well the case in which they're talking about is is to randomize agents walking and being harassed by protesters the local police soup most of the protest and read that in macon a federal government come in and put boots on the ground i think the regular police would be a much better alternative than have been a federal police come in and try to protect the streets i think he will see more conversations like this this is not anything new this is been going on for a little wow ever since trying to get elected and these 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 this unfortunately. turning attention to africa where there is a tense wait. for the results of the first election since a long time leader robert mugabe was ice that opposition supporters have gathered outside the electoral commission headquarters and quickly became not to take that. i. so far only partial results being released but the ruling zanu p.f. party is on course for a parliamentary majority i made claims of vote rigging voter intimidation e.u. observers have criticized the little am declaring the final results on will give a further assessment of the presidential election result isn't yet declared either

but on rest is feared if mcgahee successor emerson and god way stays in power the opposition m.d.c. alliance has already declared its counterfeit nelson chamisa the winner. when millions were drawn to polling stations on monday it's thought to be around seventy five percent to first time candidates are in a close race for the presidency after mugabe was the foes than the military food last autumn his former right hand man non-god way took over and is being challenge for the top job by. the electoral commission house on till saturday to declare the results african affairs expert iow johnson told us the results will define as in his relations with the west on dates own future economic development. there are some huge challenges and huge repercussions for whoever wins if. n.b.c. wins. then more than likely the west will be happy.

wins and it's deemed that there were some irregularities the question is if the the west doesn't feel that they've had a fair shake in terms of this election then they could keep the sanctions growing they could keep some of the factions that have actually helped or prevented zimbabwe from developing and evolving and for its in a growth to to happen and of course. left in limbo so. i think that these elections are pivotal this is a crossroads and the decisions that are made from there from now on especially that of the presidency mr chairman or mr. would determine whether the west would support their claim. the increasingly volatile atmosphere in one deprived paris neighborhood is forcing a migrant support group to end its work their volunteers say the situation in la

chapelle has become explosive that they no longer feel safe over the past two years the group distributed more than two hundred fifty thousand meals and supplies to needy people in the area charlotte picks up the story. 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 for the interior group but after twenty months of solid data to me call wilson looks set to close its doors saying they just can't take anymore all sorts of food 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 tents they 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 the 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 felipe 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 don't want to volunteer to be put in danger. who is to blame for this situation with not giving enough help to the migrants on the streets is this the mayor of paris is this the government of france. that is all 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 here who sleep on the street and in the camp of drug addicts neither state nor.
