christmas we suddenly realized people wearing fake military or they are made available to the public now this is quite a u.-turn from donald trump but when he initially spoke up he gave a very strong statement saying that he was going to make the documents from the probe very public that he had this authority as president we want transparency what i want is i want total transparency this is a witch hunt. republicans are seeing it the democrats know it's a witch on to but they don't want to admit it because it's not good politics for them but it's a terrible witch hunt and it turned our country and i want transparency and so does everybody else we should open it up for people to see now donald trump mentioned the democrats and trump was certainly under a huge amount of pressure from the democratic party many democratic leaders were strongly opposed to donald trump making public documents related to the bob muller

investigation now we had adam a shift who is a high ranking member of the house select committee on intelligence he went as far as to call this abuse of power so that donald trump was acting completely inappropriate leon harming the ability of the justice department to do its work now interestingly tensions are riding high in washington d.c. in relation to this probe into allegations that trump colluded with russia bob woodward a popular investigative journalist who wrote two books that were very popular in relation to the trumpet ministration he was being interviewed recently and in his radio interview he stated that in his two years and his two years of investigative work at no point did he find anything showing that donald trump had colluded with russia did you bob woodward here anything in your research in your interviews that sounded like espionage or collusion i did. and of course i look for it look for it hard now despite trump's announcement on monday that these documents would

be made public it appears that that decision is on the whole department of justice is now reviewing the documents the bob mueller investigation continues with many people wondering what will come next and what exactly is the truth political analyst daniel mcadams says the democrats reluctance to see the documents declassified raises some questions. i find it very interesting what a panic the democrats the leading democrats in washington are in over this and not only that but as we know our closest allies are also panicking and there certainly is speculation as to who that might be is it the united kingdom is it the u.k. intelligence services who are involved seem to be up to their neck at least in this in trying to discredit let it be president what is really going on here and i think it's really a fascinating thing it would be is an extraordinary. extraordinarily public view of

i guess you call to deep state and how it operates and how it can overrule the president in getting these things released. the u.s. state department is blaming the rise of terrorism in syria on the country's government and its allies r.t.c. has done off comments with syria there are a few things that have all international play is on the same page the fact that al-qaeda prowse freely through parts of this country is one just like they should know more the debate is about how and who's allowed the terrorists to thrive in syria. over the past decade the assad regime's permissive attitude towards al qaeda and other terrorist groups fed the growth of al qaeda i saw in affiliated terrorist networks inside syria washington pins the blame unequivocally on the force that has spent a large part of the past seven years and lost tens of thousands of men repairing

the terrorist onslaught. when peace in syria blew to kingdom come in two thousand and eleven al-qaeda was busy from the get go given the chance to oust the assad government a fact the us validated itself al qaeda in iraq supported the syrian opposition from the beginning both ideologically and through the media al qaeda in iraq declared its opposition to assad's government because it considered it a sectarian regime targeting sunni's so let me recap al qaeda supported the syrian opposition washington also supported the syrian opposition when it comes to picking the company to entrench yourself with the us made the worst choice imaginable another assumption the new counterterrorism report makes is that syria made its border the grand central station allowing al qaeda to run loose in and out of iraq

except damascus wouldn't have much time to facilitate that for the most part it had no access cut off by the opposition from its own border syrian regime border forces retreated from the border and the opposition forces took over the posts and raised their flag it wasn't until june last year when the syrian army began to recapture those parts of the country and it did so with the help of a rainy and pro-war rainy and forces who have proven to be a considerable power. but in the world of the u.s. state department. iran give us and take it because apparently on its own soil it forces the same terrorists it kills in syria it's a crazy standing of reality and it's had but this is very common in the united states rand is helping the syrians defeat these terrorists in their countries but the united states says iran is supporting al qaida it behooves the united states to

say that iran is involved in this because this builds a case against iran even though it makes no sense so the united states reports whatever it needs to report to justify its foreign policy. denmark's state t.v. and radio network a d r has been criticized by the european public service broadcaster alliance over its decision to stop promoting multiculturalism o. or. sit together and we have something of the world about it and everything is fun and like the admin can spoil diarra says that the focus has been shifted to the values of democracy and free speech the broadcaster also says its content will reflect to the country's christian identity the changes were published by denmark's culture or ministry with the support of the parliament and most of that support comes from the anti

immigration danish people's party as the second largest political force in the country its has been pursued pushing for this media policy change the party has called on d.r. to reflect denmark's christian cultural heritage the opposition though isn't happy with the new plans i think it's an incorrect prioritization of conservative values it's another step towards a political agenda that doesn't want to integrate people. it former host of a religious a program on d r told us that the movie is all about reinforcing denmark's national identity. the previous guidelines also stated that christianity is part of their nice cultural heritage what is surprising it that they are really stressing one war time because after my program closed down one religious program after the other has been shut down because chris and at sea and

religion in general has not been prioritized with the immigration that the europeans and also the author of the danes has a problem to define their own identity if a culture is very based on its christian foundations and its christian faith it's much easier for this society to integrate other people so i think that's why they want to stress it simply to strengthen their national identity which is very important in our time where there is so much division in the european system and just kind of crazy little feel real. soon now when. we hear you. this is everything. other fighters have a history the feud goes back a long way and for both this one is personal beginning although he toppled just like chicken what do you think of all these great. he talk about the greatest of all the time when somebody taking down the top of the page.

i'm here to send a message like location location i'm going to come for you where you want doesn't matter you're good in almost all doesn't mention the last clash led to broken bus windows a police investigation even a lawsuit for mcgregor but viral video making sports headlines around the whole world little wonder then that you have see fires and even those totally mute m.m.a. are glued to their screens when it comes to the fight now will it be macgregors unrivaled striking skills that get your vote or a little bit of a deadly take. thousand grappling whoever you get behind with a sick fish sure to be one hell of a night. by the founder of an aid group helping refugees in greece has surrendered to police he was one of several aid workers wanted for helping migrants illegally into the country.

since two thousand and fifteen the greek island of lesbos has been a key gateway for migrants crossing into the e.u. this month alone more than fifteen hundred migrants have arrived here their excuse me i can take authorities months to process their asylum applications and a recent report by a medical charity said the overcrowded conditions are leading to high levels of violence even child suicides a greek independent m.e.p. we spoke to says the illicit activities of certain organizations are contributing

to the problems in the country. various n.g.o.s actually facilitate the illegal entrance of immigrants in greece and this is something that has to be stopped because no we have at least twenty thousand. and refuges. islands if they acted illegally then it's sad to be gone but then the thought of this to prosecute them there are certain n.g.o.s which are let's say the quote by ration with the with the european union and they have done this at this factory job but there are many other n.g.o.s who it's. only they consume their money but they don't do it in favor of the refugees we know this because i am a member of the budget control committee of the european parliament we can pay the

visit to the lawyers was and we have seen that the european fund say i've not been used properly i think it's time that the national authorities in front takes take some measures and this measures is the enforcement of the low. are california could be about to punish more than two hundred thousand low or zero emission car owners as it tackles congestion problems like vehicles bought before two thousand and seventeen are said to be banned from priority lanes after six years of enjoying the perks of going green. thank you thank you. kook of the stick you ok mark how will you know you are so nice and a god thank you thank you thank you thank you single proceeding is going to be hard to grant you but i'm like oh.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to be precise this is what before three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my house. or sitting. there listening to. my stuff i said is it. not.

so there are other bills still. highly in into him about mission now but then i. look. at the foot of the duck and i. don't want the modern i don't want to worry about. something really nothing. mr need just. thrown in the dust went. on to a shuffle stem and we have been down on the well. you know that a little warmth and you know what. oh. my god so what idea if so i vote for this i don't. win lol make this manufactured two cents and consistent with public wealth. when

the right. in clusters protect themselves. with the flaming. nor middle of the room. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic to follow through the only city i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

i am max kaiser this is the kaiser report brother you know we're all about peace or peace and love not like there's other channels of war and weapons. i love you the question is if lockheed martin wanted to give you one hundred million dollars to place an ad in between the segments they call me all the time i know i did well into love. just let them but everywhere. alright well you know if something amazing happened in the past week or so and you know we're going to skip like the fast breaking headline news who cares about the markets going up or down right we don't care about that we care about the fact that

after eight years in office and now he's two years out of office barack obama who remember he passed that thing called affordable care act. funniest name ever of course because it's an affordable care act if you haven't been here so he was out on the campaign trail helping out democrats and what he said is that we need medicare for all really which everybody was telling him at the time when he was doing deals with the big pharma and the big hospitals and the biggest there is companies well i want to look at one story coming from those with medicare ok here's what medicare for all might mean in the context of how our system works here soaring bankruptcy rates signal quote a coming storm of broke elderly study finds the rate of people sixty five and over a filing for bankruptcy grew nearly two hundred four percent from one thousand nine hundred one to two thousand and sixteen a study published by the social science research network found and the percentage of seniors among all u.s. bankruptcy filers increased by nearly five times over the same period researchers

looking at data from the consumer bankruptcy project found that high health care costs combined with reduced incomes and a widespread decline of pensions are all contributing the growing trend of financially broken retirees so it's health care costs is the number one thing we'll get into that data ok care costs are killing people yes that's that is correct so barack obama of course memory took dennis to set it up in a plane air force one. that is just said i want to do health care reform to medicare for all out of care for all barack obama but the shoulder lock on loan lynn game a few nuggets and they did decided no than i can do he backed down now it's important and we're not going to be able to go into but there's there are many ways to do single payer you know just look at europe there they have single payer for the most part universal health care but you have the difference like the united kingdom even the doctors and hospitals work for the government to say france or

they're all in similar to here medicare for all there but rates are not extreme here so elderly once you hit sixty five you go on medicare here so these are the costs medical costs are frequent tipping point for older bankruptcy filings to study found the medicare is a great start for covering seniors health care cost many people don't realize that it doesn't cover everything long term care hearing aids most dental treatment i exit exams for glasses and foot care for the many things medicare part a and b. plans to not cover medicare can also involve co-pays co-insurance and deductibles that may be difficult for some seniors on reduced incomes to afford in fact a study by fidelity found that the average sixty five year old retiring and entering medicare will need two hundred eighty thousand dollars. in health care costs before they pass away to injured eighty thousand a day at a time medic medicare medicare covers

a lot more but you will need to if you have any money if you're not on medicaid if you're not and you don't qualify for medicaid and that's for poor people you will have to come up with two inches and eighty thousand dollars so this is something to also keep in mind when you hear those numbers about oh my god the average american the baby boomer entering retirement only has like fifty thousand dollars in savings probably because they start to think well if you have three hundred thousand dollars in savings well two hundred eighty thousand going to the doctor so you might as well just apply for medicaid you might as well just be spend all that too and in a thousand get be poor enough to get medicaid and medicaid will cover everything so the way to make a billion dollars obviously would be to say dicta to us which is this was so cyclic franchises available all across america so that.
