all about bernie sanders i think this is going to be the most important event remembered not that trouble is elected but what was done to bernie go ahead steve well yeah well first of all let's also point out that donald trump got a higher percentage of hispanics voting for him and did mitt romney or john mccain which i think is something that goes overlooked and really should look the reason why the donors don't want the. you know the socialist democrats influence and and policies and platforms it's because they can't win i mean that's why someone like me is begging you and begging the democrats to run to you strange i am interested let the public know where you stand keep on saying because you know that in a little cool and a little first of all this very very very small percentage of people voted and she happens to live in a district where the message appeals but even she isn't honest when she is pressed on what she she believes as a democratic socialist she says oh i don't think we should have labels i don't like

the label if the word got out that she was for abolishing prisons abolishing prisons abolishing capitalism not good for. any where i was having with our profit prison industry those are two completely you know it's abolishing those areas is completely different things and if you want to know about where i'm going on all right i have a long conversation like that and how it's actually take them further to all the only different thing. than a guy first of all i write for the program what they think about the program i said one thing equal time for everyone i've been let me turn to you. the g.o.p. should love these democratic socialists because it's the fight it's dividing the democratic party and you can tell from the very top they're scared of these people go ahead of it yeah i would say to the democrats that. it's ok to have that wing of the party and. republicans had the tea party. a wing and but but it does make your

candidates on electable in certain places now if they had the democratic party runs more conservative candidates in these places they may have a better chance of winning but i'm sure the party apparatus doesn't really care for a lot of this talk about. you know free college education for everybody medicare for all because these are very expensive programs and nobody is figured out in the democratic party or anywhere else how to pay for these but of course you know the republicans have done this with their tax cuts that's what they do to get a lack of good ok i mean well and i mean anything in fact let me just instead of they increase and i have to get we have to go to a hard break after a short break we'll continue our discussion of the democratic socialism state with our team.

you know world's big partisan group lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit 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 truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. will make this manufacture come sentenced to the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round certainly the one percent. we can

all middle of the room signal. room the real news is really. final minute not the nonsense they can get up now. on to the point about. finding a good many of you who would it be that easy to find it can get out and the main. thrust is that don't yet see plus the city people. getting. bored i thought it might have been my little bit of a wonderful enough that i little bit that they are separate that out of many good they know about much of the woodwork i'm not going to get it but and. this is

the sunday. some boards of this. see. you can look over. welcome back across like we're all things are considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing democratic socialism. ok let me go back to ron here and. again i want to address the issue of identity

politics because when i look at some of the things i mean democratic socialists of america i mean i've been around for a while ok and i looked at some of their older literature and you're spot on they looked at more and working people getting a fair shake that's fine but what i see now is this infusion of identity politics and i think that you know i can say pretty confidently given the election results over the last few years that doesn't work it doesn't work for the democratic party but they they don't you know that when you talk about transgender toilets and stuff like that it turns off the heartland i'm from the heartland this is something that people they want the factories to start opening up again they want their wages to go up and then you have these things you know this political correctness and and these pronouns all this nonsense and i don't have any patience for it because it doesn't advance my life or the people around me how do you address that ron. well there is a world of difference between exploiting identity politics for just political

jargon nonsense and addressing issues affecting different communities i would argue that the d.s.a. is doing the latter who's doing the former i would say that's what the democratic establishment is doing so so i think i'll lot of the issues with identity politics as in using it for wrong and dishonest means i think that's something the democratic establishment is doing and there is again there's a world of difference between them and the d.s.a. and movements like it the democratic establishment they're the ones that like to point their fingers at people less powerful than them and say oh you didn't support hillary clinton well clearly your a sexist you're not a big fan of harris well you're a sexist and a racist that's where identity politics yeah floats in a dishonest way and there's a world of difference between that and addressing issues of different communities one is a good thing one not so much well steve would probably wrong just proved our point

i mean this identity politics that it is it's a dragon that eats its own tail so obviously trump supporters are sexist and homophobic but it within the democratic party if you didn't support hillary then you're just as bad as the trump people i mean this is a good thing hannity. right it's a way hillary will tell you if you're a woman you listen and you didn't vote for her because you were listening to your boss and your husband and your boyfriend and you're not strong enough to stick up for your own beliefs you were told who to vote for don't forget half the country is a basket full of deplorable zx and that's the mainstream democratic party look again i can't say this enough when you look at a free this free that. by the way let's look to latin american countries let's look at venezuela what's the inflation rate there forty thousand percent i mean please i beg i beg the democratic party adopt the leftist ideals here adopt the platforms here adopt the ideas here you'll never win another election never it's impossible

in this country that and the fact that they don't see that really calls into question what they are what their goal is because they're not dumb they're not stupid people they know they can't win generalized elections and the good point made by ron earlier. democrats are running conservatives conservative democrats who are antipolo c. and to appoint pro trump on issues to win districts and you're talking about nationalizing democratic socialism if it doesn't make any sense well cayman how do you explain bernie sanders then gudrun how do you explain bernie sanders and i mean peter you even said yourself bernie sanders is the biggest story here yeah do you guys if you think that it can't win and i mean we don't disagree on the corruption of the democratic establishment that's one thing where all of us will be in agreement but how do you explain bernie sanders a guy who is an open socialist who came out of nowhere and almost pretty much

constant grassroots revolution probably would of had the establishment not cheated him is applauded in the heartland with a true populist message how do you explain bernie sanders if you entertain the the democratic socialism can't win steve if you want to play. because bernie sanders yeah because bernie sanders is a polished socialist he doesn't talk about any of the other issues all it talks about is income inequality it's unfair unfair unfair he doesn't get into specifics it is talk about the jail's he doesn't talk about the the groups that you talk about transgender etc he focuses on one message and one message only which resonates with a certain percentage of the population a rather large percentage perhaps but when push comes to shove if you want to run as a democratic socialist or a socialist and you have to own the other policies that go with it and that will never fly ok i let me get i've been in washington i mean is is is this

a pivot. transformational moment because you know in many ways you could see the trump is the same thing for the g.o.p. because a lot of the purists in the g.o.p. still hate trump ok and and also what we have here in the democratic party you know we there's a huge split i mean i think all of us would agree that income inequality is a big problem in that it's the single most important issue that can divide a society we can always have these other issues on the side income inequality is dangerous here ivan eland is the democratic party really being able to address that issue well i think we have to i think both parties. have noticed the income inequality even some conservatives have started talking about it but the problem is the parties differ on the cars of course the cars to the democrats or the democratic socialists are you know big corporations and.

you know pry excessive profits for corporations and not giving it back to the worker for the conservatives it's that the the very very opposite it's that the system has become so bogged down with regulations and other things and big government that the market is not allowed. to you know all the regulations create essentially oligopolies in that sort of thing and that that causes income inequality so it just depends on which side of the fence you're on politically. ok ok well right you know ron i mean one of the it was brought up to me here is that you know this mantra you know with free there's free education free welfare free. education for everyone and they still want to have an open borders i so i want to harp on the open borders thing is i mean this is been amplified over the last few months here i mean if you want to have

a big welfare state a super welfare state don't you think you should have a border to make sure the rest of the world doesn't take advantage of it i mean the people on the inside the berg and say whoa whoa we want this for ourselves because we're paying for it ok so they open borders argument kind of deflates unless you want cheap labor go ahead ron. well i mean again the abolishment of ice and open borders are two different things it did soon no one is calling for just complete no nothing whatsoever but where everyone is calling for reasonable border security at least to the extent that i see it what people are against is the brutality of ice secondly it's not free stuff quote unquote what it is is a reallocation of resources we spend more on bombs in the military than pretty much the next thirteen countries combined just about we have more than enough resources in this country to have single payer health care nonprofit single payer health care which you know the community would pay for it's not free stuff it's

a reallocation of resources of what we're already paying we already pay a higher g.d.p. for health care than most other countries and we get less because of a broken for profit system same with education we could reallocate our resources to have to have two weeks in free college in this country we choose not to same with a green new deal or an infrastructure program we have the resources to do all this stuff but we don't allocate it that way instead we just give bonus bomb money to the trump administration or whoever's in power ok ahmed in the same stuff steve you know i education was meant. then that's another point for me i think that all in all government expenditures and almost all except for maybe preschool and kindergarten should be cut because all they do is teach an ideology this nonsense postmarks is post structuralism and it brings up people into the world that can't do anything except for yell and scream about. a perceived victimhood ok i mean

i was in the university of california system for a long time and they don't teach you much they just teach you to be angry and teach you to be a big tim go ahead steve well well look at what the attorney general sessions said the other day talking about the universities calling some of them out by name that you know they're raising a bunch of snowflakes they have safe rooms and quiet rooms in places you could run to and you can offend people perceived offenses and by the law the whole thing is becoming a total joke look again all this talk of free stuff at least i think ron acknowledge it's not free everybody pays for it and it is a reallocation of funds i mean that so to say that ice is brutal is insane to say that without ice you're not you're not advocating open borders is insane the public is already the polls show they don't we if we didn't. know what limitations. there was no i don't think we did but they were elsewhere and i'd like to know who you would keep out i'd like to know who you would keep out on the what circumstances i

dare you to name what the circumstances would be and who you would keep out look the public is again of a one note pony today because the public would never go for these radical leftist ideals proposals policies so plays somehow let your candidates run on these policies and you will suffer worse defeats then you did under obama whose candidates all throughout the country state local government leverage level got slaughtered in the elections now that you lost over a thousand can see it's all over all in the nation so you want to make it two thousand adopt these policies ok i'm the new i mean obama the guy who ran on a center left platform and won twice didn't deliver on it by the way but yeah but yeah but ronnie didn't have didn't have coattails ok and that's undeniable ok ivan you know what we've discussed in. constant here what we've seen on this program is

not really a policy difference it's a cultural difference and i think that's what the election showed and i and there were unfortunately this cultural the division people are not talking to each other we did a pretty good job on this program last thirty seconds go do you have anyone in washington well i would just say i think you know we need to stop the stereotypic yelling and talk about the issues when we talk about all these expensive programs cut in the defense budget the numbers just don't add up for cutting the defense budget naff but it's not going to pay for single pair health care or a university education for everybody we're twenty one trillion dollars in debt we've got one hundred trillion dollars in deficit and i think both parties stone address the facts ok gentlemen all i can say is to be continued that's all the time we have many thanks and i guess in washington new york and in-laws. and thanks to our viewers for watching us here darcy see you next time and remember.

finishing our last essay the collapse gap when the soviet union collapsed because of the us meddling in boris yeltsin and all that's going on they had the skyrocketing alcoholism and so shoulder. here in the us because you have this enormous financial aid reengineering to take all the money being printed and put in the pockets of a few folks and leave the vast majority in a state of zombification this is the collapse gap he was talking about the u.s. and the soviet union both collapse in the one thousand nine hundred ninety period is just a stake in the us as he describes it you no longer to realize that collapse.

because you know provision on my back when i want to return the state i like i if you know that ok. but i. owe. you for your hideaway lost his boss because i just got the. resources you know. any of your money not all of those imposing but the pressure on us i don't mean any of them. joining us you know what i was going to say. you know this i mean what almost did i'm already but it was but the bottom. i mean it was the lord we're going to go which i don't know if it up as well i must admit that he was i just don't get it i'm getting letters but those were the oh they're just beautiful sounds though we're going to respond on one of these but i would probably just destroy this one of these on. my bed and we possibly could have credible by just but that's already yes it will be and he thought a good thing of it but i think with you you seem to mean ticket marked out a lot of problem you just got to go you.

headlines on our state washington relief if the details of its latest sanctions against russia saying they will heads on monday we take a look at what effects there how. big a news channel has trouble russia exclusion stories again hit headlines t.v. channels and now being caught in the crosshairs all say this hour that scotland's former finance minister rejects claims of sexual misconduct leveled against him and mounts a legal challenge against the scottish government several of the complaints alex salmond's talks sauteed about what he calls his unfair treatment. it's an

extraordinary situation when the scottish government starts to break his order confidentiality after the shooting everybody connected with says that that was going to be absolutely protected for the process. live from moscow you know watching r.t. international good to have you with us our top story the united states has said that fresh sanctions against russia will kick in on monday the penalties are linked to claims that the kremlin orchestrated a nerve agent attack in the u.k. and will target russia's financial sector as well as some sells to moscow reporting from washington this american. now the new batch of sanctions will come into force on august twenty seventh and will prohibit russia from importing secure u.s. goods and technology related to national security but there were also a few waivers first the foreign assistance act which would have terminated all aid

to russia except for urgent humanitarian assistance is waived second the prohibition on arms sales that was introduced in two thousand and fourteen will also be waived determined on a case to case basis a state department official said that these waivers are essential to national security third arm sales of financing which has been in place already sanctions will deny u.s. government credit and financial assistance ban exports of secure goods and tech a few days ago president putin said that these sanctions were counterproductive let's take a look. regarding the sanctions those actions are counterproductive and meaningless especially when it comes to a country like russia it's not just about the u.s. president's position it's about the position of the so-called establishment the ruling class in broader terms i hope the realisation that this policy has no future will come one day and we will cooperate in a normal fashion these sanctions were announced earlier this month over russia's alleged involvement in the script paul poison in which there is still no evidence

for russia has repeatedly denied its involvement and has even offered its assistance to the quay and investigating the incident but this was apparently ignored now as russia gets slapped with sanctions it's very likely that we'll see russia respond with to for tat measures put its coach in this john why it's believed washington's focus on sanctions is an attempt to divert its media attention from troubles at home. i think there is the discord in washington over the c.e.o. the sanctions clearly i think key members of the trumpet ministration rubio who's understanding their counterproductive and also asked to pay attention to the increasing disquiet and you know over the sanctions especially germany which has course a longstanding economic ties with russia so it's to be expected that some of the movie weaved i think this is just an attempt to confuse the public domain and you need to try and distract from the growing problems within that country of problems

or ratio and justice social or economic injustice so tend to for some folks consensus when it comes to the ability of the u.s. ruling class to we which domination in the world this position in the world. trump russia collusion story again gaining momentum that now one t.v. channel is under fire with it even suspected of being in cahoots with the kremlin than your whole conflict into the claim we've all heard about trump russia election collusion you know the great scam that brought the u.s. president to power whose ation of collusion collude passably smells a whole lot like collusion there was ample evidence of collusion but where is the closure you know they're still looking for clues or where is the girl larger finds of collusion little did we know of the conspiracy goes deeper now it's in the media

it started with the trump tweet on proposed land expropriations and alleged murders of white farmers in south africa covered prior to this by fox news president of south africa c.o.m.r. post has begun and you may have seen this in the press seizing the land from his own citizens without compensation because they are the wrong skin color that is literally the definition of racism it's a story that's been making headlines for quite some time in different outlets and in multiple countries but there's just too many coincidences here coverage by r.t. to that list throw in russia and things get heated. i'm simply shocked shocked shocked that r.t. has also been pushing a story line that similar to tucker carlson's about threats facing white south african farmers including this family they claim sort refuge in russia. thanks for pointing out i didn't know that threat to south african farmers was a major story on r.t.

there must surely be a link here of fox news reports trump's twitter feed of tea there's a clear pattern if of course we ignore the fact this shuttle has covered related issues in south africa for quite some time the south african parliament has voted in favor of new legislation that could see land from white farmers seized. solid because government has vowed to tackle violent crime a problem that is posed as an equal threat for all races living in the country. just outside south africa's capital stands the statue of the man who was behind the policies of apartheid it's a whites only enclave which allows black visitors only under special permit. the discrimination of the apartheid in south africa has long come turn and all the evidence is obvious trumps been talking to the russians again are to you collude with fox or what to cover when the how it all adds up this us of the straight just

loves putin and next time you see reports in russian media that's also covered by other media that's also been tweeted by a trump you'll know what's really going on. tensions are growing at the heart of the scottish political establishment after it emerged the country's former affairs minister is being investigated dave accusations of sexual misconduct alex hammond rejects the claims made against him and is launching a legal challenge against the scottish government everett's handling of the complaints the current affairs minister nicola sturgeon has a close ally of thurmont has said the situation is incredibly difficult. for my party this will be extremely upsetting to members of the s.n.p. up and down the country it's a difficult situation but what is important is that complaints are treated seriously regardless of who the person complained about it is i can confirm that

the scottish government received two complaints in january in relation to our exam and mr solomons was notified of the complaints in march. before mr salmond and the people involved on wednesday the trying to sell an organist of my conclusions and that i was considering the public interest in making the fact of the complaints investigation publicly known i know the former first minister has indicated his intention to challenge the action taken by the scottish government the scottish government will defend his position vigorously scottish place say that assessing the information they have received about the sexual harassment allegations which date back to two thousand and thirteen in addition to denying the claims alex commenters called the government's complaints process unfair and unjust and is challenging its legality at the country's highest court well we spoke to the former affairs minister about the allegations facing him. i

fitted the complaints that were made against me and i have sued deny any semblance of criminality. so when you have such things you need a process which is both confidential and fair and most reasonable people will understand and what i am not frightened of going to the highest court in the land to establish that it seems the scottish government looks a bit shaky in their position or anything like this depends on having a fair show having a field opportunity and overfed the scottish government process doesn't do that he don't get to see the evidence you don't get to present your own case i was barred from speaking to any civil servant many of whom incidentally have texted me today saying why didn't you come to us to support your position well the reason is i was banned from doing that by miss leslie evans the family sent to the scottish government i wasn't allowed to contact them directly so if you can't present your own case you've got an unjust process. these investigations depend on could vent

today the confidentiality if you don't have that then how and there are people going to have the confidence to complete in future because not just the person complained of oh it's the confidentiality of the complainants and the scottish government would break you that cover then gelati so we told them to not make that statement because we were taking the action in the court session but it's an extraordinary situation when the scottish government starts to break its own confidentiality after the shooting everybody connected with this that that was going to be absolutely protected for the process. let's understand the unique about the scottish government process of the talking about events of many years ago when i'm not a serving scottish government minister not even an m.p. or m.s.p. at the present moment and therefore it's really important if you try and introduce such.
