if people flagged them as potential hoaxes we send those to fact checkers and if those factors that is provably false then we will significantly reduce the distribution of that content why do you want to just say get off our platform well look as a horn to some of this content can be i do think that it gets down to this principle of giving people a voice eventually though the get off our platform way to sort things out still prevailed ok and now it's time to meet the fact checkers journalists have found them in a tiny room at these guys' h.q. got it at the end of the day facebook's not so happy with that online policeman's hat so zuck and co are outsourcing the digital share locks i'm being serious that's what they call themselves who are let me check where they come from a. link to nato with their help thirty two suspicious pages have already been sorted out the big ship was not turned around overnight. but i think that the

. now given the opportunity to work with them and i hope that in the months when we have at least three other platforms in that we will see. a willingness to collaborate with us to come up with a solution bravo and it's not just facebook or do one just as great one question though since already most americans head to social media to get their news when will freedom of speech ring a bell when we talk to anthony bryan legan he's a political commentator and he phase you could be sensitive if you have no liberal views. it feels like the only people they have the right to speak out are those who agree with the leftist principles if you are against lefties ideology in any kind of way they find a way to demonize you they call you a conspiracy theories they say it is you're promoting fake news we're coming more under the control of big corporations and a lot of these people who are in the government and corporations are kind of

working together to colluding with each other any kind of extra regulation from the federal government will most certainly impact freedom of speech online there's going to be a battle to try and corral the internet back and kind of mainstream media staff format where you get your news curated for you and you don't have any kind of dissenting viewpoints meanwhile according to a new poll the reputation of news organizations is in decline it found more than a quarter of u.s. citizens don't think the president should have the power to close media that sting to be behaving badly. into the streets of new york to get opinion on press freedom . the american media just can't get over the anime of the people label first slapped onto it by donald trump a little while back anime of the people i think crosses the line i think it's reckless i respectfully ask that and this is a phrase that has a long historic provenance it goes back to the french revolution it goes back to

stalin to mouth when the president attacks journalists we question his motivation at this point you could dismiss the comments simply as media oversensitivity or biased against donald trump however whether it's media partisanship or trumps behavior it seems pretty clear that public support for freedom of the press is stark now at this point less than half of americans say they believe the mainstream media is working hard to engage in honest reporting now what's more shocking is that twenty six percent of americans more than a quarter say they believe that the president should have the authority to shut down any media outlet that isn't gauging in what they call bad behavior now it's not surprising that most of these media haters are republicans and it's no secret what outlets they want to shut down. do you think that's surprising to you do you think

a lot of americans agree that the media outlets should be shut down i do i think those smart if you're smart and you have a good mindset where you see different things then you would know things like that obviously should be shut down especially if they're not telling the whole story that's a joke that's a joke once again this go back to page one of the press led to him appearing to those twenty six percent mean that you know the constitution i'll be blunt mean i don't think the pressure be closed down but it doesn't mean we have to read it or pay attention to it i just block it out. i don't really know what their definition of bad behavior means if there is a clear definition of bad behavior and no maybe i'd agree with a. stephen moore of course. i don't agree with that maybe they should be more in depth. charge to shutting down all the jerk reactions. that now seems that the first amendment is the first thing

that many americans want to be amending. r.t. new york. the wiki leaks legal team is raised fresh concern over the security if it's found. that after the us senate committee looking into alleged russian interference in the twenty sixteen elections requested that he testify we can show you now the last of that was sent to the ecuadorian embassy where songes held up inviting him to a closed interview it does say the meeting can take place at a mutually agreeable time and place but. extremely cautious as the u.s. is seeking to extradite him over his revelation so here's a quick recap of some of the. i.

i i i. i . hello does the amps a collector let me say to the millions of those who are little wiki leaks walks like a hostile intelligence sort of talks like

a hostile cold turkey. while we discuss the issue with the film am i five agent any michelle and she thinks the us getting off their silence for publishing classified information does create a dangerous precedent. i'm sure that after seventy years mewed up in the ecuadorian embassy he wants to give his side of the story he does know exactly what happened he must be absolutely frustrated about the. the the lies and the missiles being created around russia gate so i can understand his temptation to give evidence even to a closed hearing which is difficult i mean the whole you know i thought ethos of wiki leaks is to be open and transparent and to bring information out to the public good so yeah it's a difficult one for him i think but let's bear in mind as well that you know putting aside wherever this information came from wiki leaks is a publisher it is

a high tech publisher but it's his publisher in the same way that the new york times the washington post and the guardian has been a publisher of similar stories so if they're going to go after him as a publisher of embarrassing information for the american government then surely they have to go after the old legacy media for publishing the very same information and this is what the old legacy media should be standing up and speaking out against and fighting against because if we can lease goes down because of these arguments then they are vulnerable to that is the end of our free media that's the end of our free speech. that we're tunnel used by jihadists in syria has been turned into a monument dedicated to those who helped to defeat the terrorists local artists have carved out sculptures on the walls of the former hard.

you're not international be back with more news in two minutes.

you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. somehow want to be. that you do like to be true that's what frank's tree of all people. interested always in milwaukee how. they should. love again give back what you stole well over one hundred years ago a tribe living on easter island one of the most isolated places on earth wants to negotiate the return of a sacred statue taken by the british navy and presented as

a gift to queen victoria the statue did end up in the british museum where it's currently on display well if he's on the situ will visit says that everything should be handed back. hosting an estimated eight million objects the british museum is one of the world's best known collections of art history and culture and often the subject a fiery debate about whether or jack's source during the british empire is colonial times should be returned to where they came from. the latest dispute ironically involves a statue called lost or stolen friend

a fitting name to the indigenous people of easter island or trying to recover a unique figure taken one hundred fifty years ago and given to queen victoria who then gifted it to the museum this is reportedly being negotiated as we speak. the circumstances have changed and we heard that there's a possibility to discuss the stones are trying to chile with the museum and the british government the british museum attracts scores of tourists so it's not surprising the museum is putting up a fight claiming they're better preserved under its own watch sometimes offering temporary loans as a compromise but what do the visitors think let's find out sooner really speaking i would say it should be returned i think it's a heritage says just of history we've got over this whole kind of colonialist british empire thing and stuff nice theory but it's rare and this museum is very well operated and very well known and so i i think like staying here would be edified so you're leaning a little bit more towards just letting them stay here. i stand firmly on the fence

i mean i can see the benefits of post to be honest i mean if they went away we wouldn't see them here and we would have to appreciate do you think it's realistic to expect that a place like this would return some of the you know some of the most famous pieces are ones that were. kind of brought here under question of only you. and other news after announcing plans to change the constitution in order to strip white farmers of their land south african politicians are looking for more black amounts of patient in the country and you party has made headlines there after banning whites some foreigners from becoming members. as more. after the death of nelson mandela there has been an increase in racial politics and incitement here in south africa and now as the country starts preparing for elections to be held at the beginning of next year one new party has emerged that's only for black people the muslim african congress says that its goal is to restore the ideals of african

people it's gone as far as to say our membership is not open to anything that looks white this is a far cry from how mandela saw the rainbow nation you have to look to war is in the cities and so i don't think it's a good concept i don't think it's something that will work here though going backwards obviously by just like that too we shouldn't allow them in south africa most parties are fighting for is unity in south africa but not having a party that now takes only black people sort of like promotes racism it's become popular in south africa particularly among the white community to talk about reverse racism in other words discrimination against white people whereas once people of color would deny jobs education and political power the tables have now turned and many whites complain of being overlooked because of black economic empowerment policies ironically many south africans once felt they were not quite enough today there are those who feel they are not black enough police they are teeth johannesburg. several pro-life campaigners have been detained after clashes

with police in argentina as capital. i say. oh. i see arrests here follow the rejection of a bill to legalize abortion one is aries police put up barricades to hold off angry protesters who told various. countries that what liberals want to get our abortion in the first fourteen weeks. so. so that brings you up today about how things are looking so far today here not say we're back the headlines are morning sun just.

join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to get a little bit politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. chose seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to shape our disdain comes to the ticket and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

america was never great it was founded on the rape and the murder. nothing changed so we said in. response to these situations that we do in the ways. people get sad every day he has his people kill each other blacks are killing children. there was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for. this this can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with why this is the reason i have to rat like this is the reason.

greetings and salutation is. most professional anglers will tell you that there is an art fishing a big part of that art is patience and using the right kind of bait and while fishing is known the world over for sport and leisure apparently in the city of chicago the windy city and other communities around the united states local law enforcement has taken this remark to fishing and brought it to the streets in the form of what's being called baiting see baiting is where police or other law enforcement agency agencies will stage a car or truck filled with expensive goods to lure potential residents of a high crime report community to steal side car or goods so that they can then swoop in. and make an arrest but now local communities thankfully are fighting back recently a series of videos posted online by community activist living in the chicago

neighborhood of englewood went viral and they appear to feature a truck loaded with nike air force one sneakers and christian louboutin shoes and box is reporting that according to local resident charles mackenzie of the crime prevention group god's guerrillas the truck was parked near a basketball court and traveled to other sites in the predominately black community on the city's southwest side seems to be confirmed by resident martin g. johnson who posted a video showing what appears to be the same semi truck and trailer at a different location the following day needless to say hawk watchers the civil liberty implications of what is essentially law enforcement across the country baiting citizens living in a poor depressed high crime neighborhoods into committing a crime is at the cli questionable to say the least while bordering heavily on entrapment you know i think it's time we put a little snag in this fishing line and start watching the hawks.

as. to. what it's like you know that i got. this. welcome aboard the what are the robots for and that capital that you go to take the bait. and i know it's worth the fact that it's so. in there so much like any parent. ray says i'm. in this fight and i'm putting in classes i'm of putting here some nike air and some you know brad bottoms

right as a bloody shoes they are not meant to reply to it none of their story is the fact they are literally waving shoes in front of porky. and when you want to run the thing them for take i just think it's horn you watch the video you know it's all alleged but you see the cops like you know the time they get there with these videos you see the cops show up because they're like kind of sting is blown but they like can't admit but not that admit what's going on so you gotta watch these because they're absolutely incredible. but what comes to mind when you see it is entrapment that's the first thing you think legally like this can't be this is entrapment can't like set something out somebody walks by picks it up you know or you know because this is done in many different ways sometimes it's a car with keys in it like a really nice car i call bait cars bait cars and we just had a little reason why that was yes it was not you know and other gross it is it was literally like hoggers do you really show people just by the way my favorite episode i believe was on the t.v. shows where they had the surveillance in the trunk of

a car and they broke into the car rather than taking the car they actually took the surveillance for the quick moment but you know you have that and then and the excuse is always well it brings down and say you know it saves cars from being jacked like they have done that but that's the thing and entrapments the big deal because i think you and i would think that's entrapment but i can't do it while the legal definition of entrapment just we all know is the act of government agents or officers that you do says a person to commit a crime he or she is not previously disposed to commit however this is a law enforcement's bizarre argument that actually wins them court cases listen to this ok the entrapment defense is difficult elizabeth the joe writes in the harvard law review that in practice entrapment is a losing defense for most courts the conclusion that the defendant is criminally predisposed to commit the offense barzan. truculently even where the government's term taishan is maybe unrealistically attractive basically they're saying that you can't use entrapment in a city where you're probably

a criminal because you're probably a criminal because you're in a poor neighborhood or whatever or if you have a history of after you have a criminal rap sheet which generally you don't see them putting bait cars in super expensive parts of town you'll see they're in poor parts of town you don't see them loading truckloads of shoes up you know like over in beverly hills no or and want to you know the real spending real snazzy parts of jumping up on fifth avenue i approach go here's some louis airport or whatever like you know one for commuters were guess what sorry i got to break it to you the police tend to go after poor people way more than they go after rich people you know well of course on their progress and on those areas but at the same time like how many untested rape kits are in chicago how many open murder cases how many open assault cases how many open theft case says first citizens are waiting because these cops have to go out and taxpayer dollars to pay for the truck to shoot the whole thing i'm like oh it's a joke and you know the thing is it's like putting expensive things in there it's

really like saying to the community it's like ha ha you don't get that. one of the things i guess really interesting is the community response community activist charles mckenzie had told box that there were a lot of young guys playing basketball why would they do that in the chorus community is to people who don't have anything better how do how are we supposed to trust the police if they if they're setting up like this how can we trust them that's it you're trying the problem is a lack of trust between people in the community of every color in every community except maybe beverly hills where they own the police. that they used their there is a lack of trust there's a breakdown of trust and when i'm tired of hearing the cops and the police complain that citizens are the ones that have to do the work you are there to protect and serve that mean. get to know where you will it have some humanity and protract those people that are there not trying to ruin some kid's lives because now he's going to have a theft on his case we're going to lose out of college on opportunities or

everything that's gross it is gross and at the end of the day come on you're there to do police work you're not there to entrap people and do all that is absolutely ridiculous to work for a living. as it appears there is a major fuel heating up between saudi arabia and canada now canada last week on twitter the canadian foreign minister demanded that the saudi kingdom release jailed human rights activists a move saudi arabia to deep offense to an essence responded with a number of measures aiming to put a hurt on the canadian economy r.t. if alex mileage has more on the story from toronto. so the latest from saudi arabia is that they're going to stop buying wheat and barley from canada now that's kind of funny since guess who i was controlling shares of the canada wheat board well it will be a saudi arabian company to the to the tune of two hundred and fifty million dollars but this is just the latest in a string of punishments against canada they started off by boot not our ambassador

and then pulling their ambassador from canada and then they moved on to different things such as say that they're not to do any new trading with us and that they're going to pull out sixteen thousand students from canada saudi students so these poor kids who are about to start their school year well they're going to be yanked out of this country and sent someplace else i don't know if that's really fair but that's what's happening or if you just think students also patients out of hospitals if you're a saudi patient care well you're going to be sent someplace else i don't know if there could be checking how sick you are i don't think really that's a part of the bigger agenda and i don't know how to get home because starting next week flights out of canada to saudi arabia won't be happening anymore the saudis are banning as well you know when you break this all down the educational exchange they expel the suspended flights the the wack. of investment or pulling of investments out of canada as well you just see just how bitter saudis get when somebody criticizes them hope that's horrible but what's canada going to do all

about the boat all of this while canada is playing the boyscout that it usually is the canadian government has gone to the british and it's gone to the u.a.e. and say hey please help us can you help us out with this issue we're having with our friends the saudis they also want the us jumping on this but guess what the us is saying because you're both close allies of the us we're both close allies of the us can you believe that the saudis remember them of the plane nine eleven thing and remember canada with all those planes in the air during nine eleven we let people into our homes well we're both close allies according to the us so the us isn't getting involved it's all i'm going to say about that i don't really want to dig too much further into u.s. affairs because we just don't do stuff like that here now good riddance basically to saudi arabia i think that's really the key issue here we saw the nine hundred armored vehicles of that was a very controversial thing here in canada and to with that a lot of canadians thought that we probably shouldn't be doing that since these weapons are being used in saudi arabia and in yemen as well according to some

reports but you know there is an issue here we did do something wrong chrystia freeland the foreign minister of canada sent out a tweet so she decided to twitter politics along the lines of president donald trump and she got us into this whole jam with the saudis because of that this issue really when you look at it how do you resolve it well you know what there is a resolution here and that's basically firing chris jeffrey land at the same time possibly apologizing to the saudis but a lot of a see this as an opportunity to break a relationship that should have probably been broken a long time ago with a country that is the biggest sponsor of terrorism on this planet back to you. well alex alex has a few things to say about that doesn't enhance words oh not those words you know it's interesting to me that there is this idea that she said strongly encouraged strongly worded if a woman says you're wrong and you lose your mind so much that you're pulling kids

out of hospitals stalls and starting down airplanes you might want to ask yourself why that is i think that part of this is right yes ship good or good for first speaking out on this issue because it's a joke they get you know saudi arabia we've been sitting here they we get all of this puffed up thing about we're letting women drive. we're going to we're going to have wrestling i mean not the women that we're going to be just not. it's interesting it's interesting to me because i look at it it's like ok saudi arabia is acting like a spoiled like rich twelve year old who you know didn't get what he wanted at the toy store you know it's like ok well then if i can't have this and i'm just going home i'm taking my ball and i'm going home and tell you my mega man and i'm done effects and i'm going you didn't get me to read megaman that agree with you know and i don't and they were and what's what's interesting is you know basically they're saying like there's a lot of people are saying that this response to it is this response to this criticism is seen as a power play by the kingdom's young leader. that they're no longer going to sit

back and let people criticize them and ignore demands for political liberalization which is interesting because it seems like both canada and saudi arabia are kind of just doing what the u.s. does all the time yeah it's we're going to get into twitter wars we're going to get into this like and slappy thing and we're going to be like no my ball i take it i'm a powerful now listen to me i'm going to be king one day right now you know and it's going to be kidding but i'm super liberal it's going to be great you should want to big ation here i mean while we're bombing yemen and i'm going to saying this is the question i think it makes a good point why when you're out your ally of your ally might not be your friend. in this situation and when she of canada the united states and saudi arabia maybe it's time that we don't have. company you know countries like that investing in government infrastructure when this kind of stuff. all right is going to break our watchers don't forget to let us know.
