it had the tea party revolt we had the we had the occupy we had occupy and we're going to go to a short break but i want to talk about alexander alexandria ocasio quite a ten is when we come back gentlemen we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on the trials and tribulations of the left stay with us. but i am finally going to come home and also if they can get up let me now hons about it on the album keep the point about. funding if he would be would it be that

easy to find and found that out and me. plus is that going to see much of the city people who move to. the dot that might have been my little bit of a wonder come about i got a bit odd shut out of my good job out of much of the woodwork to mop up to get a job but it. exists in london as the floods lose. some boarders of the. city. to see. if anybody will bow to.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. want to be rich. to go on to be pros that's what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. first city. to begin to. open up a basic belief in the for. now see will either be useful. to you or talking to the. good it will only loosely give you the idea. that a lot of what i think about thomas good but i'm about the same as art when i was up

the money into. giving money i'm like marking on how much. to say to each. their own place of who is a long. long way from which of you meet. other people most of them says i was on the. list. feel. so. welcome back to cross now where all things considered i'm peter lavelle we're discussing the trials and tribulations of the left.

ok let's go back to seattle ok we have really beat up on the democrats that lead to the establishment democrats now let's see another angle that's going on i don't want to give the impression and i hope we have it is that people are leaving the democratic party or are pro term they're not all pro trump some of them have moved over to the g.o.p. actually a lot of the data says the g.o.p. is still more attractive than donald trump it's a topic of entirely different program which i think it's quite fascinating because i'm a conservative and i really have contempt for the g.o.p. so i would be an interesting topic but i want to go back to alexandria. cortez so i mean she's a very interesting phenomenon and she's the the reason the most recent eruption of the just rupture in in the two political parties and i get the leadership of the democratic party just so blinded by all of these things here they were blindsided

by her election i don't feel sorry for her opponent i mean because he's a swamp character i wish more of them would be thrown out but i mean listening to meet the press democratic socialism i don't think she has a clue what it really is but it sounds nice ok it sounds nice and considering the the empty rhetoric that we have from these establishment politicians including republicans i'm not surprised some people want to listen to that to be honest with you go head south. you know i mean she's something a little different but obviously she was supported by some elements of the new york power structure that allowed her to get to the point that she said that i agree it's good that she's removing so little but probably there are a lot longer than he should have been over that's not really a great sign that the democrats are really you know revitalized there and she's a she's got a very to the character and for the things that he. thinks are actually i think

that he had a very. good standard. democrats think that if they use the image of bernie sanders that they can actually maintain some kind of you know relationship with democratic party voters that are leaving the party but i don't think that you know she's really a good symbol for what's going on because i don't think that this is a common occurrence and if you look at who is supporting her i mean actual standpoint you're going to see that they're prepared for the donor. and important thing for him and. her and. that's very interesting i mean. i think one of the things he had to say right after her election is that you know i say has to be dismantled who is really surprised and really disappointed that it kind of you know you we have this trickle down economics but that was trickle up ideology always said you have the people in the mainstream democratic establishment

saying we should get rid of ice i mean i'm sure this alexandria is a nice lady i don't want to cast aspersions on her not to twenty eight year old but had a privileged upbringing that showed herself to be you know. a kid from the bronx ok good that's p.-r. latino it's how it works but you know i was really amazed how this shock outcome in the fourteenth district in new york and it goes into the mainstream they want to talk about i snowboarders i mean again this lunacy is a disease you know. donald trump is releasing their brains i guess because they can't think straight if you look at poll after poll republicans and democrats in majorities want better emigration policies again they're out to lunch go ahead julio. yeah i mean and you if you look at a lot of the quotations a lot of good videos online that show you know hillary clinton talking about immigration bill clinton talking about immigration you know in the past saying that

we needed stronger enforcement and you know this alexandria ok zio cortez to me is the worst possible manifestation of identity politics you know and she's so out of touch with a lot of the latino people that she claims to represent i mean a lot of those people were just everything worth their lives everything they know and left their country just keep those social democratic socialist policies that they had good going off america and her story to me is a lie anyway because her dad was a architect who had a successful business she didn't grow up in the bronx she's not a true child of the getaway stress to prayer cells to be able to be just a fraud. don i mean i think julio decided really best you know he has one of the things is that identity politics per se is not really about those individual victimized groups by white people now it's a recipe for power because this is what they want they want power and that's why

they can talk about policy ok and this is one of the huge problems like dongle trumper not in we've done so many programs on and he does have policies some i'm vehemently are against ok some that i agree with but i'd least of the g.o.p. he's got policies he can chew on ok the left just have fake pictures on the on magazine covers i mean it's really really distressing go ahead don let's look at the last twenty five years and follow it to two tracks quickly and look at this in relation to the democratic party at the republican party you had for example the globalization to jobs or start to be offshore to the eighty's and ninety's. go to fast forward nine hundred ninety nine seattle i think was ninety ninety nine protest madam. relationship where the you know the unions of the big marches and protests against globalization basically the aliens ended up joining the marches because their constituents went over the heads of the organizers of said you know

what these guys are talking about a right that's my job this gets shipped overseas you know fast forward to two thousand and eight you have the economic collapse the people in secure this is america ok they elected the black guy that was a remarkable moment in american history and what happened nothing exactly the same thing continued policy didn't change an iota you come up to two thousand and sixteen you have in the democratic party bernie sanders who wasn't supposed to get any lift at all he was supposed to be a distraction really wins the primary we're told from here and donald trump was not even a republican every republican in their party ran against him at the entire apparatus both political parties and he ended up winning that nomination in a cakewalk and the presidency one last thing on the other track go back to the ninety's you know go to l.a. and rodney king and everything that happened people go in the streets over that and come straight up to you know black lives matter and the way that the democrats relate so that they try to co-opt it but in effect the policies that came out of it will be a bill clinton with mass incarceration after rodney king all the way up to the way

people are being treated today in the streets you have this whole country actual constituencies with real needs that are not being satisfied that the public relations effort targets them based on these fake you know identities that are supposed to correspond to the constituencies but because they have nothing to do with policies that these constituencies need their faith and this whole thing is kind of collapsing that's what we're talking about really it's really interesting is that going to go back to you in seattle i mean one of the thing if we go back to the case in new york with alexandra i mean one takeaway for me is that both parties and to a much greater degree with the democrats because they can't get that clinton poison out of their system there and i think some people really want. good to finally come out here but i mean one of the takeaway from the election was we really need to return to local politics to find out what real people are saying instead of like what don says or don't i completely agree instead of having madison avenue you know

do it on a macro all the way down when she start listening to the people you know in the local cafe and bakery and and find out what they really think because it seems that there's so very much at odds with the leadership particularly of the democratic party the republican party is more complicated for different reasons and we can talk about that another program go ahead zuck. yeah you know i totally agree and it's this kind of weird and those are that the democratic party is in where they want to have their cake and eat it too they want to have their big they want to be against campaign finance reform you know it really is very fraudulent in many ways it's what the democratic party does and part of the reason they don't listen is because their exact constituents that they're going after these kind of identity politics groups probably for the most part understand the problems of neo liberalism and they're not going to be able to get feedback from these people because the democrats have been the problem so long that they play that ad or who

they're talking with or if they're using to support the party as the natural does more people are really aware of the feelings and then. they're not listening what they're going to find out information that they don't want to hear and they've been resistant the nose of the federation in this or all of the achievements that they have support at least in their current efforts and to vote for the party at least for the third. thing that's why all of the back of the democratic party under obama as he was barely a trial glitching anything it's like ok why should we trust another democrat when brock obama in my opinion made things worse than even made progress on a big picture so it's like hard to trust the democratic party when they have nothing to be responsible for having fixed in recent memory you know the only the only talking point we've had since the election of two thousand and sixteen from

the left is to hate and undermine and dismiss everything the president of the united states said the democratic choice of the american people i mean it it's painful to watch cable t.v. like m.s.n. b.c. and c.n.n. i mean it's not even worth watching like why should i sacrifice the time they will never get back in my life just to hear slurs and. and really just incredible bias it's such poison for our for our political dialogue but there is no dialogue ok it's just one it's one way to record propaganda this is so damaging to the electoral process and i think and i put it squarely on the left for this go ahead julio just definitely i mean all he's done is be divisive and separate america great and you don't we just foster all this off you know this feeling of division within the country but the one thing that they need to understand is you cannot win a major midterm election you cannot win

a presidency without the most important demographic and it's the demographic that both the most in this country which is white men they've done anything everything that they can to sort of you know attack white men in this country and the trouble obviously resonated with white men and the republican party is resonating with white men so they can go out there they can pay into every particular race every particular secor sexual orientation and religion and all these other things until they start to come up with policies which are attractive to white men they are not going to. be before we go we are we end the program and i'm really glad that you said that because it's really interesting is that white women did too but oh we're told by the democrats hillary clinton that men told them to vote that way i mean they even use the identity politics against themselves it's really quite extraordinary ok gentlemen that's all the time we have many thanks to my guests in

seattle west hartford and in moscow and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r.t. see you next time and remember cross talk rules. finally into the nonsensical set up now how does it live on a thousand until the point about. finding you gave me of being a living being everything is fine and ten that i had a new me. trust is that going to see the city people. didn't. look at i thought it might have been that my little bit of

a wonderful enough that i little bit odd accept that i that money could be no doubt much of that away but i'm not about to get it but it. exists in london slightly lose. some borders of. the sea. you can be no problem. in a world of big partisan through a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for

critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks do. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to be absolutely. what's it like to be thrust was it what with the full spectrum or can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my. first. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murderer i would prefer it be in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair think the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found

innocent the idea that we more executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no really hasn't and that we're even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep to get kelly here is because that's what murder victim's families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. to do you know that. this is. just.

the young girl who skate her slave went by i saw a plane she then came face to face with a cup germany where she fled to safety coming up this hour we speak to. my boss called the police i told him i never imagined possible for the isis fighters to be in germany however if the police were unable to trace his neighborhood it had to a pentagon assist stripped of his security clearance he says it was for questioning payments to an f.b.i. informant who spied on the truck a comeback. down shake or not to shake the story of the muslim couple in switzerland denied citizenship for a few zip to shake hands with members of the opposite sex we hear reaction from both sides.

of all of this is art international live from moscow with me kevin i just turned eleven am here now first news in the in the last hour or so sp police in the spanish city of barcelona have shot a man this morning who tried to attack officers with a knife is the news coming out of there the incident occurred outside a police station in the cornell a district of the city no other injuries reported it looks like they've got a handle on the situation there now local media claiming the assailant is reportedly a twenty nine year old of algerian origin who shouted god is great in arabic as he launched his attack. a special report next to but a girl from iraq religious minority who still lives in fear for her life years after escaping or i still kept after fleeing to germany she thought she'd gone to a place of safety but then she claimed she ran into him face to face we spoke to us work who told us about her ordeal. turns out more irish than the seven girls

captured by fighters in taken to syria the worst time in my life was the moment when i still separated me from my family they took us away from our mothers fathers brothers they even of adopted eight year old girls they tortured us raped test sold us into slavery more looking for gasland anything sharp knife scissors who couldn't find anything to kill ourselves with we were trying to escape but they handcuffed our hands in lax covered our heads and raped us just they turned us into human shields when they went anywhere they took us with them but that said the strikes didn't kill them. a large number of easy women have been slaves by i still and sexually abuse with many still in captivity. has i met a medic and i get

a. chill on my desk. without about an abominable protocol that i. passed on but i can add though that you want it bad. you know not. that a lot of my lower level in the alpha would back off our. show is now nineteen years old when she was captured by i saw four years ago she was sold as a sex slave to one of their fighters after being abused for three months she managed to escape and fled to germany as mentioned but once there she claims she was again horrified by the fact that she had two separate encounters with the same man who enslaved. germany was willing to take in one thousand women who had escaped from

i went there to forget what i'd been through a boo as i was going home after school i couldn't believe my torturer could have found out where i live the next time i saw him was two years later a car pulled up beside me and asked me if i was and i said i didn't know he were how is it possible that my rapist is living here and has some rights as me my boss called the police and told them what he looked like and they scratched his face and it looked the same i told them there had been no other witnesses i told them i'd never imagined possible for an idle fighter to be in germany however if the police were unable to trace his name. on the southern edge of a prosecutor's claim the information provided by a shark isn't enough to identify the man in the meantime she's just so gone to iraq . i think i told my dad that the person who raped me it was in germany that it doesn't want to leave there no matter what dignity is more important than being in germany i put my life in danger to escape from myself to retain my dignity and you want to stay in germany not you know one of the one who was responsible for my

misery is free in that country all i wanted was to be somewhere safe you could ask her meeting him i was afraid the whole time that he heard me again so i couldn't stay there anymore and. we can talk to the number of political institutions about the issue of whether or not they've taken any action in relation to the case we'll update you with any response we get. next morning and i can magazine the atlantic has published an article accusing russia of meddling in the upcoming twenty eighteen us mid-term election the article also mentions our channel as one of the means of interference a little cool to report the russians are probably at it again according to an article in the atlantic magazine and probably is good enough especially when the unity of the stars and stripes is apparently under threat by big bad russia the russian government has one overriding objective with regard to the united states to weaken america so that it loses its will and ability to counter russian objectives

and to accomplish this goal the article says russia has a devious multi-pronged plan. first is allegedly helping people who undermine the democratic party and inviting them as guests on r t the walkaway campaign reportedly an organic cum pain of lifelong democrats leaving the party has been amplified by russian social media accounts and featured on the russian propaganda outlet r t walk away founder brandon stracke did give an interview for r.t. in which he expressed his disillusion with the democratic party's identity politics and why his movements getting popularity among americans i myself was a lifelong liberal democratic voter i would say kind of a democrat by default because i'm a gay man and i think that the expectation for a lot of minority groups is that we are supposed to vote democrat and that we are supposed to be liberal so it's not identity politics hurting the party it's walkaway founder's appearance on our t.v. fuelling

a russian plot if that's the case then there must be more russian influencers in america's midst because fox news had him on for a similar interview discussing the very same walkaway movement and with the attention mainstream newspapers have given his campaign they may be doing an even better job at spreading his message but the buck doesn't stop there. the article says moscow is ready to give its money to russian friendly americans russian businessmen will likely attempt to fun think tanks working on u.s. russia relations to push a narrative favoring cooperation with russia and opposition to sanctions cooperation with russia oh the horror regardless the article doesn't actually provide any evidence as to who or when some russian businessman will begin giving away free money but it's ok for western businessmen and nato to throw money at anti russian think tanks the articles author evelyn farkas is

a senior fellow at one called the atlantic council and it's received millions of dollars from a long list of corporations and governments internationally who are apparently also very concerned about potential russian election hacking. while there is no way that it is that russia has done so to date at minimum it will likely use its ability to access voter registration databases and election related sites to undermine america's confidence in its own electoral integrity so no evidence the kremlin has done it as the article says but the atlantic is calling on all patriotic americans to protect democracy and the tune of its song continues to sound oh too familiar we know that russia today is regarded as a grave threat to our nation to our freedom the peace of the world you see the reason why we are spending billions of dollars in defense production why your family is paying the highest taxes in our history. let me tell you some of the

subjects more outlandish attempts to showcase alleged russian influence come in a bit of a cost a democratic stuff has landed themselves now in hot water for helping to smuggle a controversial piece of into the colorado state capital. from was one couple's been refused swiss citizenship all because of a handshake they did not shake hands with people of the opposite sex religious

practice does not fall outside the law the constitution and equality between men and women prevailed over bigotry the couple was said to showing a lack of respect towards gender equality laws and failed to prove their readiness to integrate into society however they do have thirty days to appeal the decision. a similar thing happened back in twenty sixteen a similar case took place in sweden that was when a twenty four year old muslim woman refused to shake a male interviewers hand when she got her job the meter was abrupt was abruptly terminated but of j. one thousand and compensation when sweden's labor court ruled it amounted to discrimination. you see if you're an employer in sweden like the guy who wanted to recruit a young interpreter and. interview disco refuses to shake hands she has difficulties to talk to him because he's a man because of our culture that.
