2:02 pm
a very painful time. you know our nation. it's a time when people are feeling a lot of hatred in the air. and incidents like this exacerbate that pain and exacerbate that fear. we cannot let the acts of a very few change who we are which let's go live now to. thanks for joining us what more do we know about these alleged attempted attacks. well in addition to hearing from the mayor of new york city we also heard from the new york city police department's counterterrorism chief and he put forward that the bomb that was sent to george soros on monday as well as the bombs that sailor it clinton and the bomb sent to barack obama and and the bomb now sent to the c.n.n. headquarters he says that those bombs had the same source and that they were created in the same way they came from the same place of origin that that's what we're
2:03 pm
hearing now what is being reported is that these bombs are actually detonate a ball they could have gone off now the one that was sent on monday to george soros was actually detonated preemptively he was not at home a bomb squad then detonated it in a controlled way these other bombs they were not detonated but they could have been detonated they were pipe bomb like explosives and people are asking questions about it now in addition to what we've already heard at this point a another package has been discovered at c.n.n. involving suspicious powder that we have andrew cuomo a suspicious package that's the new york governor his office having a suspicious package we have maxine waters the the prominent democrat there's a suspicious package where she is that we have debbie wasserman schultz the former chair of the democratic national committee she also as a suspicious package in her office has been evacuated now we've already heard a response from hillary clinton talking about divisive times this is what hillary clinton said in response to these suspicious packages containing detonated the
2:04 pm
explosives being discovered around the country but it is a troubling time isn't it. and it's a time of deep. division. and we have to do everything we can to bring our country together. now this fits in with a pattern of escalating political violence throughout the united states out there have been a number of elected officials both democrats and republicans who have received hateful threats you know we've seen shootings and other incidents now most recently we heard from rand paul the wife of senator rand paul talking about how she has taken some extra precautions in light of all the threats that she and her husband have received that this is the wife of a u.s. senator from kentucky. and all of our security system that. we put a loaded gun. how malone
2:05 pm
a law obviously now we have heard from the white house sarah huckabee sanders representing the white house said that the the trumpet ministration absolutely condemns these acts of violence and that those who carried them out will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law now information is continuing to surface we do know that the time warner building in columbus circle in new york city is still evacuated at this point and a lot of questions are being raised people are wondering what exactly is happening but as of now we do have this word from the n.y.p.d. as counterterrorism chief that at least four of the explosive devices probably have the same source all right thanks for the update. on those attempted explosions in new york think. of the man who's faced accusations he was involved in the murder of the saudi dissident. has made his first public comments on the issue the
2:06 pm
country's crown prince claimed it was a crime with no justification. the crime was really painful to all saudis. and i believe it is painful to every human in the world it is a heinous crime that cannot be justified denied any knowledge of the incident for over two weeks then said car soldier was killed in a fistfight though turkey insists the journalist was viciously murdered in a pre-planned operation key european powers are refusing to cancel multi-billion dollar arms sales to saudi arabia that's with the exception of germany which wants the other countries to follow its example over the french president when asked about his intentions refused to answer the question. i don't have to react to every single statement so i won't answer that question. if you are interested in the issues related to this event. but this is not suppressed. and it's not a press conference to react to the german chancellor. i mean all that has nothing
2:07 pm
to do with this event nothing and. nothing so i want let's put some context on that front says one of the biggest sellers of defense and on this equipment in the world and saudi arabia is one of its biggest clients despite the fact the president has tried to play down the trade relations between the two countries the figures don't lie between two thousand and eight and two thousand and seventeen deals with more than twelve billion dollars was struck between the two countries but it seems that doesn't want to have a discussion about that nor a discussion about suspending those possible deals between the two countries and that seems to be a similar thing that we're hearing in spain where they have said that they will not deal with saudi arabia worth two billion dollars.
2:08 pm
by the previous government which correspond to the demands of international national especially considering the u.n. resolution if you meant that i am the head of the government now. legal security that promotion to comply with international law. and it will be well it seems that that's a similar view that's being taken by the canadians now they have deals with saudi arabia that are worth almost twelve billion dollars and the prime minister there just in food has said that he's more concerned about the cancellation fee which is around one billion dollars if they decide not to go ahead with that contract then rolled out than holding saudi arabia to account for the killing of journalist. it is only acceptable in thinkable that someone could have murdered a journalist on foreign soil like this i do not want to leave canadians holding a billion dollar bill because we're trying to move forward on doing the right thing
2:09 pm
seems not much also coming from beginning to that which is the second biggest supplier of arabia just behind us with heels worth around fifteen billion dollars now the idea of sanctions it was a muted by the foreign secretary jeremy hunt but no clear indication of what those sanctions could be over whether they'll be applied when the prime minister for a reason may was questioned about the. prime minister's questions when she said she would speak to the king of saudi arabia the new concrete information whether they would be sanctions against the country it seems that they were germany is the only country it's going alone and putting its neck out in suspending and canceling these contracts georgia has managed to find spokesperson for the france party thinks no crimes will stop europe supplying arms to rehab. we know that there were many violations of human rights in saudi arabia but above all in yemen and it's not
2:10 pm
time anymore for just words it's time for action which means blocking saudi arabia to doing that old fool war that is killing thousands hundreds of thousands of people and millions of children are starving there is no such thing as european diplomacy there won't be further inquiries and i think they're just buying time by saying that they would wait for further and furious it's sad but the european union and especially our french president mr munder michael he's backing one of the worst country which is really doing one of the worst war in the world. meanwhile the us remains the biggest exporter of alms to saudi arabia while condemning the cover up of. trump stressed the economic importance of continued weapon sales to. cover up was one of the worst in the history of coverups.
2:11 pm
saudi arabia is a bit of a really great ally they say that one of the biggest investors maybe the biggest investor in the country. they are doing hundreds of billions of dollars worth of investments and you know so many jobs so many jobs thousands and thousands of jobs they've been funding go a lot of things and with trump trying to keep his billion dollar deals with the saudis afloat in line with his american mantra rug as if takes a closer look at his foreign policy asian. donald trump can be called any number of things good bad it all depends on which side you're on interesting really enough though it's donald trump that keeps giving donald trump new titles a global. is a person that wants to float to do well frankly not caring about our country
2:12 pm
somas you know what i am a nationalist. kind of obvious if you think about it what with all this talk of greatness walls and how special exceptional americans are it's going to be only america first american people first america's interests above all else. now if i may mr president you seem to be confused about what those words mean it's right there in any dictionary globalism a national policy of treating the whole world as a proper sphere for political influence a globalist is someone who treats the entire world as a playground making national decisions which affect the international community
2:13 pm
in simple terms google ism is what mr trump tells south korea meaning outside america that they can't lift sanctions their own sanctions on north korea without his permission they will do without her prove they do nothing without her prove and by the way us sanctions which basically force everyone to abide by them because of how the dollar works by definition a globalist venture you know what else is globalist war invading other countries the us current. the fighting in seven wards that's really really globalist as well .
2:14 pm
heck the united states military's one of the most globalist organizations in the world it has bases in roughly every third country one in three nations has a u.s. military base in it that isn't nationalism that's good lobel ism i just want to see them as well straighten out regime that frankly could be toppled very quickly by the military regime change we're placing or helping replace governments you just don't like local rebels to the teeth or financing the opposition by sanctions that's globalism glue lism suits trumps purpose is to talk about globalism as the enemy but if you look at the politics it's anything but nationalist trumps attitude to the world as an individual is that he should have complete sovereignty and that includes sovereignty abuse the sovereignty of others you know he wants america to be able to go and do business wherever they want he wants to be able to remove
2:15 pm
regimes that he doesn't like he wants to act truly globally but in the national interest as donald trump himself can save that he is a fun fact the word globalism its modern meaning was first used to describe us imperialism after the second world war the way the united states which wasn't destroyed by the war like europe dominated in international trade pushing its products its ideology its politics on every what it could they called it american globalism. hearing mr trump who believes in returning america back to its glory days see that he isn't a globalist is like hearing the pope say with a straight face that really he isn't catholic. villa's go back to our top story now at least seven suspicious packages have been sent to politicians and a major news organization in the united states it was revealed that the packages
2:16 pm
contained explosive devices the new york mayor called the incidents an act of terror of course live now to be libelous and media commentator lionel to get more on this thanks for joining us so good to have you on the show was this list of addresses the devices were sent to a coincidence or do you think there is some sort of connection here we are seeing. well it's obvious there's a connection and this obvious that many of the politicians and those in the news is obvious that try they're trying to make a connection all of these devices all of these whatever have gone to leading democratic democratic candidates pacs democratic officials george soros you know consider i guess almost democratic as a respect c.n.n. fake news c.n.n. the the target of many conservative commentators as being this this biased media
2:17 pm
source but i want you to remember this there is also on another wave if you will of rhetoric and that is various democratic leaders maxine waters in eric holder who are saying you know go out there and when you see a trump supporter in a restaurant and have at a gas station or or several you get in their face when they go low we fight and this rhetoric granted not on the level of pipe bombs and white powder but this is what we've been talking about all over the place every week we've had senators and members of the trump staff including nancy pelosi so it goes both sides being thrown out and violently that will threaten the violence and also we have a third aspect of this some people are saying isn't it funny because whenever there is an event you say what being knocked off of the front page because
2:18 pm
in this country you have one story at a time can do two can do multiple plates spinning it's one story and the story that's not being discussed is the so-called caravan so you pick your incorrect interpretation let me also add it's very interesting to hear some luminaries know. normally mostly democratic hillary clinton governor cuomo of new york mayor de blasio kind of insinuate without saying so that it's because of this this rancor it's this this theme this spirit of aggressive talk and rhetoric that that somehow and that's of course that means trump it's it's a it's a not so veiled so of course opportunistically politicizing this that's going on meanwhile i just came from i live right by the c.n.n.
2:19 pm
headquarters and they did that disaster in this city it is greg lock every nobody knows what to do and the police were were handling this thing very very very quickly and the like so watch the finger pointing and i could tell you i can script this out exactly but also remember look while we're not talking about the caravan you know of course the investigation still very much and we don't have any comment i believe yet from security forces from police who by you behind us what the motive is do you expect any sort of reaction from the from the white house hip hop's new security measures a tweet from donald trump perhaps a way to put out with bated breath as opposed. oh i'm sure that's going to be let me also remember the term our lads what twelve days thirteen days of november the sixth the term allowed she ends right now we're looking to see will the house
2:20 pm
of representatives in the congress shift back to the democrats this is a very important time and right now remember the there's a as you know cui bono queen protest who benefits but also who benefits in terms of timeliness maybe it's us maybe there are some of us who are just i do would say conspiracist but suspicious skeptical you always have to ask why there's something happening now why now and why in succession and why is this particular group targeted only a fool would sit back and say no there is nothing connected but watch that nobody does it better politicizing this but on both sides democratic and republican conservative liberal whatever they're calling the they're rancor and fact i cannot tell you though if i have ever heard for example maxine waters a congresswoman telling people standing telling people if you see somebody granted
2:21 pm
this is a pipe bombs but if you see somebody in a restaurant a trump supporter or somebody who works for the driver that is crazy you go up to them and you give them how that's inciting i don't know what so these are very very strange and troubling times my friend very troubling it is interesting timing as you cited of course speaking of politicization it is perhaps a little too early to link this to some those political tensions as we we don't yet know who was behind us but over the next few hours and days we will get that information and it will be interesting to see who did have the most of as you say who is linked and of course the outcome is what on the influence quite rightly as you saw on the elections legal analysts that made a comment a lot of thanks for joining us good to get your take today here on the international. thank you so. about me putin has warned that the entire structure of international arms control is being destroyed his comments come in response to u.s. plans to quit a key cold war europe nuclear weapons treaty. we're concerned over the
2:22 pm
dissolution of the antiballistic missile treaty now the same thing can happen to the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty and the fate of these strategic goals reduction treaty is also not clear if all of that's destroyed nothing will remain in that area nothing will remain except an arms race with the russian president has somewhat confirmed what military experts have been warning for quite a while for now since the u.s. president warned that he wanted to leave the i.n.f. treaty because right now this document is viewed as a cornerstone of global stability i should say pretty much all over the world the united states do not see that way they believe at least according to trump's national security adviser john bolton just yesterday here in moscow he said well according to the united states the treaty is expendable they accused russia of violating it and they say that a lot more countries like for example china should be part of this right now
2:23 pm
bilateral agreement between russia and the united states but according to glad i'm a putin this is something that europe has to rely on when it comes to security and this is has been echoed by many european countries to have a listen to how the russian president formulated it. when it comes to europe the main question is if the u.s. pulls out of the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty what will they do with these missiles if they bring them to europe we will have to have tipped for tat measures and european countries should understand that they expose their territories to risk according to the russian president if europe allows the united states to deploy its shortened mid range nuclear missiles on their territory they could become target of a retaliation attack if it comes down to a military throw down the russian president also added that whatever steps washington takes russia will have to give a mirrored response so if say the united states it is. to bolster their military
2:24 pm
capability russia will have to do the same also according to vladimir putin it apparently will be difficult to convince the united states to reconsider their decision to pull out of this deal because the pentagon has already budgeted for it they've already funded some research that will allow the expansion in these assured and mid range nuclear missiles which are banned under the treaty but still the russian president has tried to remain optimistic there are still doors open and he plans to discuss this with his american counterpart donald trump in november in paris a number of countries across the world have already condemned the u.s. move into germany austria france we spoke to former italian foreign minister of course he warns that trumps the poses a real danger. italy should be really conservative about the
2:25 pm
possible seizure to be taken by president trump on i.m.f. debt could be a decision their dream going instability and so serves the concert i hope that our prime minister will come third to president putin the italian concert about such as does he anyway there would be less that security there will be more instability there will be a vicious circle two wars more political regime and seems new order today is already threatened by asking metric threats what exactly we don't need to have i would say a back he'd be trolling for a show common strategy that would be a step back very dangerous not only italy should but also korea france
2:26 pm
germany that this press hardly their concerns and they would say negative opinion about the possibility dead america will really think about i.a.n.s. . in other news a court or says it will no longer negotiate with the u.k. over doing a sons' who's currently holed up in its embassy in london that marks a change in ecuador position when it comes to that we can exchange. ecuador has no responsibility to take any further steps we are not mr songes lawyers nor really representatives of the british government this is a matter to be resolved between science and great britain saunders relations with the country have soured since the change of government last year because truly a nationalist suing it could offer reginald violating his human rights after the embassy imposed house rules for the whistleblower as a condition for partial access to the internet for more ecuadorian president rafael
2:27 pm
correa house called his country's handling of the case shameful. we gave asylum. he said. if i don't government to protect us you have to remember that now. sounds. so it's not just this a look now. these rules are really a shame they tried to him and they they are you so. my point because they are. these rules are really against human rights and they're trying to isolate. sanch and to push him to. the songs has been locked up inside the embassy in london since twenty twelve that's when he was granted political asylum or if you leave the building he faces
2:28 pm
the rest for breaking his bail conditions whistleblower fears he then be extradited to the united states in a letter to work towards current leader let in what i know is in washington a demanded to be handed over to u.s. authorities or face a possible diplomatic fallout. we are very concerned we join a sanchez continued presence at your embassy in london and he's receipt of ecuador in citizenship last year it is clear the mr assad remains a dangerous criminal and a threat to global security and he should be brought to justice. we feel that it's very difficult for the united states to advance our bilateral relationship until mr assad is handed over to the proper earth or east they go to me he has to protect us according to our constitution but unfortunately because of the behavior of these government. absolutely submit a method to the american government well that will be very difficult i think they
2:29 pm
want to turn over such the american government and they've already seen this story now so. positive. of. equality and justice also you don't have to to forget that he has a very important. you know the nation's. tell him who are meant to protect us is mandatory they have to protect us i wish. not just to stay with us for a second before we do go why don't trouble yourself president his current giving his assessment on those explosive devices sent throughout the united states let's listen in just briefly right now mike kelly bob latta keith roughness. tim walberg i want to just thank you all there could be a couple of extra as well thank you afterwards thank you thank
2:30 pm
you great they were card they feel so strongly my administration has also launched an unprecedented effort to target drug dealers traffickers and smugglers we are shutting down online networks cracking down on international shipments and going after foreign traffickers like never before for the first time ever in august of this year the department of justice indicted two chinese nationals who were shipping fenton all and other lethal drugs to our country here with us today is sam morton certain of the nebraska state patrol where sam. i thought he was around to some plans. for the problem saying the u.s. is gripped with political violence in the country and citizens have to unify in the face of those explosive devices sent to the clintons of c.n.n. and you.
