we've got to wake up and smell the coffee gives it's a new day ok i'm going to jump in here guys we're going to go to a short break and after that show break we'll continue our discussion on trumped arrangement syndrome state with our to. seem wrong wrong just don't. get to shape out. active. and engaged in the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be all for rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first shocking and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but. that i would add that i have done

a better man not out of the dugout at that not out of the mouth of the money the daily planet actually. this was a good time to. try to move there i'm. not that ultimately funny not why not check gender again why exxon and the whole people we believe just the media. a lot of my kids i don't want them up aside johnny borrell the moment i've got a mother how do it all the kids are there a lot a lot of them i'm a little like a muddled a little of the things i don't want to put out a look at my worst party without all the mother blood it. just. for man are sitting in a car when the feds get shot in the head. four

different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the list did not shoot around a corner. and welcome back across the uk where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing trump derangement syndrome. ok i want to go back to rob in new york and i want to ask you all the same question a hypothetical rob hypothetical situation blander me or putin in the kremlin. media

they get together and they start attacking donald trump how long will it take this for c.n.n. and m.s.n. b.c. to join in all of sudden wow glad it was on our side now ok i'm asking this seriously ok go ahead what kind of a tag is this going to be your foot soldiers marching marching up our shores or is it now know it all right no no no no not a not a no no i media taxing he's not a reliable partner we can't work with him we can't work with him ok ok that's what i'm getting at ok and i and i'm sure the left would be all over it in a heartbeat keep going rob no i don't think that's going to happen no think they're going to see how how fickle they are now they've got her against donald trump and this is a problem hypothetical hypothetical well i don't. brian stelter is not even going to put up for that as long as there is

a story there or we're going to milk it ok pat i just i think you guys are grasping at straws here no no no i'm trying to make a point here and i it's a valid point i think is well all right i'll come on line i'll have a little bit of fun you know you're acting like you know what was his name bob you're acting like you're acting like senator dole right now get off the grass ok that's right confounds he's actually going to go it is hard patrick patrick again what i'm just saying is that anything i know no matter how bizarre and how you know out of the park it is they will pick up on this ok because they have picked up on every single else real false imagined and run with it like fools they would do it again patrick. russia versus trump does that hypothetical peter liberals love during hypotheticals by the way. i'm just going to say yes peter one hundred

percent really one hundred percent they would open up a shrine to vladimir putin outside cnn's offices in atlanta they would start rachel maddow would go to saudi and start doing fluff videos about what a great holiday destination it is that's what would happen because media. is colorblind the sense don't go to where the political with the political power is so you know i don't think i don't think i think they would pivot it would definitely because it was i don't want to get rid of trump and i think that's right of trying right enemy of my enemy that friend that is exactly right that's what i'm getting at here all right lionel pretty please come out of your hole now and you can start to answer the question my friend. he's been so can reveal to you i know i know and you think he's in a good you know he's in a good mood today ok keep going on you know we're just taking a happy pill of l. you're a genius first of all you confound poor talib with their hypothetical you mean it's not what's a hypothetical right listen while you're doing is terrific what you're saying i

don't have any of that have you already is that i know this really well that's that's really all you've heard this is ever heard this is cross-eyed this is crossed off into saurus edition ok go ahead lie all right here where the policy level ground war or the war of sorts of sorrows but i digress come on please you're what you're by erosion of my time now let's assume this so that i'm reporting tomorrow comes out and let's say worse than that leavelle might say he places facebook ads now imagine something that shows eight to say something negative against something now most people would say the left is the prototypical fascist corporate left would say wait a minute how can we agree with them now when we did the like of a week ago the enemy of my enemy is my friend are we going to be that craven that that that venal i go along with him or you must or you know he's lying only it makes her do what time i hear again me it makes perfect sense because liberals used

to believe in civil liberties two years ago they don't anymore paul man of ford ok i mean for tax evasion the average person convicted of tax evasion go to jail for a year and a half paul minor party faces three hundred years ok what happened to the liberals ok but you still believe in the civil liberties they gave him and i. well i got an ostrich cult i think i guess i have a day i can tell you how you will hide it out of the guy the explanation lionel is very easy there ideologically possessed they have lost their marbles rob give me a hypothetical peter value of golf rachel maddow why just went to so she she would die mysteriously and some god of viking accident that's what would happen if they don't disappear her oh yeah i just don't see it as a viable thing. to have a lot of really with me i'm happy about it. rachel maddow would sort of say i love

it and i don't have that it was a talking patrick but you with your analogy back it up ok get a drink she could do a cameo in a pussy riot video of me doing some cos that's are showing up and down and you know it but overt no pornography no pornography sorry and i don't know what's going on that worries me is peter the point is you're right ten or twenty years ago they would have rallied around the president in that scenario but we are not in that time any more now there is a kind of a political ideological obsession a fetish if you will and total derangement to get is rid of this president so what might have been true twenty years ago is not have wouldn't happen now in that sense yeah the media is completely out of it's out of history in that sense but i think the point is as well that you're not going to get any political objectivity from this mainstream media and in a sense they're going to hand donald trump reelection in two thousand and twenty if

they continue down this road i think it's wishful thinking that they'll be able to personally that they'll be able to impeach the president if they win the midterms but the media is just going absolutely nuts in the run up to the midterms with with all these are going to ramp it up and it's just going to go nice and unfortunately it's kept this russia gate nonsense going here go ahead lionel. peter let me assume argue one doe that i was going to ask you a hypothetical question or a rhetorical question watch tub's face now but do you think these democratic folks recognize that if for some reason under the rules if trump is removed mike pence is the president do you think that in their hate. verily but you've never even fly out of there and have absolutely are successful you're absolutely right but this again kind of confirms i guess what most of us are saying here and most viewers that are watching this program they don't think these things through very well do they ok i

mean that's why it's called trump to rant about it senator bob was because well no i mean. mike my pants wouldn't bother me and my character is it ok please do. well first of all i'm going i'm going to kind of side with the with patrick and lionel here. the liberals have over promised and under delivered and been promising and preachment they've been promising the end of trump every day and people are tiring of it there and it's beginning to make them look a little ludicrous where where is this impeachment where is this end of trump you've been telling me about for months and i see it more than anywhere remarkably on facebook with different journalists i know who shall go on named their one of the most droids cue the jaws theme all of it killing the jaws of them so much the the cello guy's fingers are probably broken by now and it's just not whether it

deserves to have going to or not it's not happening soon it hasn't happened and they've shot themselves in the foot in that regard you know so i don't know is this in agreement with lionel and i think i well yeah i think we're in broad agreement here with patrick the thing is though in the time from the campaign to inauguration to the president going to green with rabin i mean they've always looked for the end of something the end of trump the end of this administration you know impeachment but because they are so focused on that they haven't thought about anything else to run on and so they're going to run on hating trump and if you look at the public opinion polls i mean what is it eighty eight percent eighty to eighty eight percent of republicans are staying with the president you know after you know ninety eight percent of the airwaves a barrage against one man i've never seen it in my life i mean it's all about one man all of the time it's really exhausting because i like you i'm

a policy guy the rest of it's kind of like tinder to entertainment ok go ahead patrick. you know the problem is while they're going crazy trying to come up with the latest sort of gotcha for donald trump and there's like one there's multiples storylines every day that are being invented along those lines while they're doing all that the world's turning the world is moving on the united states has business to do is a country and i only extend this i think the mainstream media are going beyond partisanship and sort of the democrat party and sort of the never trumpets for that matter they're undermining the actual business of the united states i can't imagine more of an unpatriotic thing they might think that they're saving the world from a russian invasion or something like this but the fact the matter is they're undermining the u.s. credibility internationally they're keeping the u.s. from from doing its business internationally and on a diplomatic level and also on and other levels internationally in international relations so that's the real damage that i think i think i'd like you said peter

you said to begin to show that domestic politics is shaping international politics and they used to not be the way it is now and that's really dangerous you know line and it's getting sentient what patrick was saying there is that this whole obsession here it's destroying the institution of journalism it's destroying the faith people have in the democratic process and they and it's their faith in destroying their faith maybe even in the democratic party rob i'd like to have you back on and talk about that you know this you know the bernie side of it the this a young woman from this alexandro. has i mean you know this is a direction here the donors are terrified palosi is terrified schumer is terrified . and it's all because it's an obsession with ending the political career of a man that was duly elected go finish up on the program finish up go ahead lionel. peter let me just remind everybody do you remember in recent history any president

at his or her well his rally that was ever able to invoke and inspire this frothing frenetic excitement ever when you saw all these did you ever see one was as smooth a presidential and obama as this and that but this president has tapped into a sizable portion of this country that the elite is fascistic corporate ted baxter sockpuppet media have never been able to compromise it's a different game and by the way journalism is dead all right and i got a job and here are seven eight and all right you do it entire program to selecting the last three sentences you just said here that's all the time we have gentlemen many thanks to my guests a new york and implement and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r.t. see you next time and remember cross talk rules.

when lawmakers manufacture consent to stick to the public will. when the right wing plus is protect themselves. with the final. night we can all middle of the room sick. leave.

it as you know provision on my bike when i want to. ask but i. owe. you for your hydro i lost his boss because i just bought bagel got then you just gotta go resources you know just like any program on a month although she doesn't but that's honest i don't mean any of them. so i says you know what i was you're not. you know just i mean what almost put it i'm already whatever sped up out of me just a lot of the media. i mean most of the lot because they don't which i. just made up as well i must admit that really feels i just don't get it i'm getting worse but those were the old beatle songs you were going to spend on one of these but i was just this buy this one of these i will ask him i will write about him with i said he could have got a bomb i just got that already yes it will be and he thought if you think of it i think with you you seem to mean to carry out my thought aloud problem you just got to go read.

the. not enough they would see. it as a live also from somewhere you know. i came back to the community. and people we obvious found in on the road look at me oh look out is all bible. says. she's looking to save money knowing that it was all. real woman this. was

a five thousand or so i am not happy in my life. i see a man have to die. i

. hope stories here one are to be the last rebel and terrorist stronghold in syria is surrounded as all parties to the conflict prepare for what might well be the final showdown in the country's long war. a palestinian after burst from norway claimed she was hit twice in one week by israeli soldiers firing rubber bullets in the west bank. you face that women's minister victoria atkins comes under fire from l.g.b. activists after expressing concern over the rising number of kids wishing to change their gender and that and other transgender issues have certainly. we need to look

at why puberty brooking drugs are being handed out like smarties to children they don't know trans people do not choose to be trans they don't make this decision about gender reassignment without very very serious long track thoughts. top stories for this hour here live on r.t. international from all of us here welcome to your neighbors. the last stronghold of rebel and terror groups in syria the northern province of is right now surrounded by the syrian army and with a decisive battle looming civilians are fleeing the area through humanitarian corridors set up by the syrian government and russia.

and they are some of them. do you think a minute since we're holding and since hostages it was cold in our county minds here in tasmania close in summer this humanitarian courage to is our salvation. again i am from it in the conditions were dire there the militants don't let anyone go we escaped with just the clothes on our backs controlling either leave his militant group taddeo to aldershot known as al nusra or al qaida in syria the group is viewed by russia and america as a terrorist organization and has carried out a number of atrocities the group chief has warned all other factions against taking part in any talks with damascus our weapons are the source of our strength and

thinking about surrendering to the enemy and handing over weapons will be considered treason as tensions mount and it leaves the russian center for syrian reconciliation says it has received intelligence on the delivery of toxic substances to the province with the help of self-styled rescue group the white helpmates this is all to be used later in staging a false flag attack russia has previously warned that militants are preparing to stage such a chemical attack. but it goes there was more on the potential escalation of the situation in live it is shaping up to be the end a last showdown between jihad ists and the syrian army it is the last remaining stronghold of islamist and rebels what's worse is the foreign power buildup in the region out of the blue u.s. cruise missile delivery systems guided missile destroyers strategic bombers

a re basing and dropping anchor near syria days after the u.s. and its allies warned that take action if chemical weapons are used by as sad as we have demonstrated we will respond appropriately to any further use of chemical weapons by the syrian regime and russia which is beefing up its own presence warns that it's the islamists that are planning just that the u.s. continues to expand its presence of cruise missile carriers in the middle east which is connected to the preparations for another false flag incident allegedly involving chemical weapons russian reports of u.s. military buildup in the eastern med and nothing more than propaganda it's not true that does not mean however that we are prepared to respond should the president direct such an action the united states denies building up its forces but says it's ready to attack syria if need be the good news is that russia and the united states

are also apparently in talks to prevent any potential use of chemical weapons but the danger remains the worst case scenario and international escalation militarily the rebels stand little chance against the syrian army what could save them is a foreign intervention caused by for example a staged chemical attack syrian armed forces have no chemical weapons and no plans to use them with that there is no military necessity for to snuff tonight. so the russians to assert that the syrians have no chemical weapons sensible people will not use militarily useless means to draw the fire of three powerful countries upon themselves we have no information about chlorine being delivered to consider it as an invitation so they are on the rebel groups to stage another chemical attacks as they did it in the east and that is what happened last time say the russians they

staged an incident in ghouta that led to a us french and british cruise missile barash against syria. these time what with the military build up the stakes and reask of an escalation will be much higher but it hasn't begun yet there will be a big conference on friday but chances of a peaceful resolution look slim the russian reconciliation center has been trying to broker a deal but the jihad ists remain defiant and worst of all is that there is many as two million civilians in need live trapped between the hardest and the syrian army

if talks fall through or chemical weapons are used if this battle drags on civilian casualties will soar not to mention the danger of an international escalation and escalation is imminent how that develops we don't know whether it goes. very fierce in the form a very fierce confrontation between. on one side and its allies and syrian army and its allies. on the other side we don't know that it. is it wind in other areas like most recently southern syria where faction leaders understand that this is a force that they cannot. compete with or fight effectively and they see if their people their cities a lot of destruction and death in that case you know people could go back to under

government control soon as possible to normality basically as soon as possible and we understand that many of them. are hoping to achieve such a feat. palestine solidarity activist from norway claims she's been hit with rubber bullets fired by israeli or israeli soldiers twice in one week she happened to catch one of the incidents on camera but. danger. is if you're pointing. you were asked by an elderly man if he could accompany him to get his car back that the israeli side taken as an economic shield so they had to sit in front of them there's nothing happening at the moment so we decided to go with them and leave or approaching the i.d.f. mian and with our hands in the air and the postilion and he walked

a little bit faster than i am so he reached down and we held back and i think you can see very clearly from the show that i got my hands in the air. and there's no one around me when they shot me i am absolutely sure they shot me another person from crawford he was hit and i had not so long ago and he lost sight in one eye and news also unable to close it still i've been to the protests five for. on four or five previous occasions so i knew they would be firing rubber coated steel bullets and seek answers to have before but always states. side or at the back of the demonstrations on there as an observer to to witness what is happening. but of course there is a risk when sending anything that's where the i.d.f. is kristen voss claims she was first hit in the stomach while standing with her

hands raised and later in the same week while leaning against a wall she was shot in the ankle and while the rubber coated steel bullets are seen as non-lethal injuries they inflicted can be severe particularly when fired at close range a forty three year old norwegian activist has been supporting palestinian protesters and what they describe as an occupation of their land by israel the israeli army told us here at r.t. that force had been standing among rioters at the time who had been violent towards its soldiers it says it will investigate force ourselves as the palestinians are being subjected continually to violence scenes nearly one hundred people have been shot with live ammunition over the years. hundreds have been shot by these bullets that i was shot with had been tear gassed and had skunk water into their houses but they are not getting any attention we are here to witness what is happening and share it with the world.
