8:06 am
or whether there will be a peaceful and national natural transition to a more more multi-polar world so far we don't see the people making policy in washington willing to make that transition and i think that is something extremely dangerous and i think maybe that partly accounts for mr lover of sense of impatience as we heard from a correspondent most attention of this she's u.n. general assembly was paid to the american president his have done some some ox went down with the diplomats. less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any
8:07 am

8:11 am
know america i know you don't know anyone know there's a ron have a point should israel come out of the closet with its radioactive little secret perhaps but while no one knows for sure the israeli prime minister can continue to log about thinly veiled threats that would give a geiger counter a seizure while standing in front of his nuclear weapons in a bar or research center. human whoever threatens us with destruction puts themselves in similar danger and in any case will not achieve his goal. is an absence of a sad and tragic absence of any movement toward a middle east peace prize. says and missed in it and you know instead of coming to the u.n. and address seeing this media each year that he is responsible for more than anybody else in the world he jersey arrows in and focuses on iran demonizes iran

8:14 am
of a process. that will tear this country apart the u.s. senate judiciary committee has been conducting confirmation hearings for brett kavanaugh nominated to be a supreme court justice by donald trump they took a vote to take the nomination of brett kavanaugh to the floor of the u.s. senate now as the vote was preparing we saw kind of a last minute proposal from republican senator jeff flake he proposed essentially that a final vote on the floor of the senate wouldn't take place until the f.b.i. had been able to do an investigation i do think we can. have a short pause and make sure that the f.b.i. can investigate that i understand it is that some of us would have to and i'm prepared to do it make a request to the white house to ask the f.b.i.
8:15 am
to do that investigation it would be short. and limited in scope to the current allegations that have been made i would like to support the motion for that investigation i've explained many times with mother if the investigation is not necessary the nomination of brett kavanaugh has certainly divided the united states of america both sides very fired up about it and it appears that next week we will have a final vote in the u.s. senate regarding his confirmation as a supreme court justice in the united states the highest court in the land but it has been quite contentious protests all around capitol hill lots of accusations on both sides lots of anger here kind of reporting that will scandal surrounding judge kovan has triggered a severe partisan feud in the u.s. republican senator lindsey graham is comins in front of the senate judiciary committee hearing on thursday come to the current level of the most city in washington in a bid to tirade he cues that democrats have
8:16 am
a cynical attempt to deal with his nomination what you want to do is destroy this guy's life hold this seat open this is demote an ethical. share. since i've been in politics and if you really wanted to know the truth you sure as hell what it does and what you've done to this guy sort of a gram storage defense a brick oven has drawn criticism as well american comedian chelsea handler even played the grahams being blackmailed by moscow despite the grahams were not of course for his anti russian stance in the senate they're trying to break the backs of democracies they're doing worse things in other countries they're trying to get us to fight among ourselves and here's what we should do we should tell the russians in no uncertain terms you interfered in our elections we don't care why we're going to hit you and hit you hard and russia. is not a normal country we drew a legal analyst told us the russia of blackmail claim against senator graham is nothing but absurd. the idea is so specious. they're suggesting that
8:17 am
that the russians have this man through blackmail they blackmail senator graham one of the most staunch heretofore in some cases anti russian senator to speak on behalf of the president trumps nominee who is a republican which as he is this this is not the way blackmail works as easy as blackmail imagine me blackmailing you to say something or do something that you're going to do anyway it doesn't make any sense this is an example of how people in our country here is the so-called elite the intelligentsia the the conyers shandy howley weird the the i guess the liberal if you well at your tame and arm of american entertainment factions all of
