you. seem to. think. the rift widens between washington and tehran as donald trump announces he will reimpose all u.s. sanctions against iran which was lifted on the twenty fifth. u.s. national security adviser bronze cuba nicaragua and venezuela. and stops. and the t.v. executive in the u.k.

spalls outraged with his halloween costume opting he dresses up as the killer of society just because we debate whether it cost a line. can scream and yell and be offended about everything what's being called complaining is actually political discourse you should i don't know what what the fill in the brain be put in jail i just call in for. a line from a studio with me. to the program. us iran relations have suffered another downturn. announce the all signs. that were lifted as part of the twenty fifth deal to iran has responded with claims that washington's policy punitive measures made the islamic republic. sufficient on saturday iran and now

and it's making its own fighter jets for the first time the country's state media say they are one hundred percent uranium made and will be used for short support missions after announcing that simon's would be reimposed trying to start his twitter message to resemble the tagline from game of thrones however this apparently didn't sit well with the network behind the hit series h.b.o. says it would rather its trademark wasn't quote misappropriated for political purposes the sanctions will come back into force in just two days as eco chic dollar for ports. what will happen on monday everything that was achieved under the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal will be no more piling on top of penalties imposed additionally by the trumpet ministration there were nineteen rounds of those these new sanctions will accelerate the highly successful effects of our sanctions that have already occurred the maximum pressure we impose is cause the reality to drop dramatically ronnie's cabin is in disarray and the iranian people are raising their

voices even louder against a corrupt and hypocritical regime a lot of diplomatic achievement has been torn down by this back in two thousand and fifteen the so-called p five plus one bloc of countries agreed to open global oil markets for iran's crude in exchange for to iran scrapping its nuclear program even though iran complied with all terms of the deal trump called a disastrous and pulled out unilaterally now with the final push the american leader has delivered while iran keeps abiding by all the demands of the twenty fifteen deal makes while still shipping finance banking you name it really the u.s. hopes to put a damper on all keys sectors of iran's economy in total more than seven hundred entities including both individuals companies and even ships and aircraft will be banned from doing any business with iran the few exemptions here in their food or

from a suitable industries but the list is not very long to be frank speaking of exemptions by the way the u.s. also seemed very concerned with the economic well being of its allies we want to achieve maximum pressure but we don't want to harm friends and allies you might assume bolton is talking about europe after all it likes to think of itself as america's biggest ally but apparently that's just not the case and trumps advisor there was referring to asian and middle eastern countries we do know that the total of eight states will be exempt from having. to cut their businesses their business ties with iran and reportedly there's not a single european country on that list instead it's allegedly india iraq and other nations from those parts of the world another concern washington wants to allay a collapse of oil markets amid fears that prices will just skyrocket if iran's oil pipe runs dry iran's oil exports have already fallen by some eight hundred thousand

barrels per day while america has enjoyed a comparable increase in its crude exports so according to the us not to worry they're happy to fill in the gap putting out additional oil there and exchange for an extra buck they harm the u.a.e. in the nation they have always been there for the past four decades and they've been harming the u. reining in nation all along. and that's why many other. states that are under sanctions like russia like many others they are all against this move especially because this new round of sanctions by washington it doesn't have the u.n. support it doesn't have the support of even the united states close allies like the europeans that have stated their opposition to defiance china turkey or russia and many others have defied the u.s. sanctions against iran and many are worried in washington that this could make

these sharp tool or weapon blunts and make you know take it off the menu even for future u.s. administrations if it goes ineffective. it seems that washington's european allies haven't fully supported its latest move as the e.u. described china's measures as regrettable bustles isn't filing to support companies doing business with iran we remain committed to implementing the joint comprehensive plan of action as a matter of respecting international agreements and of our shared international security and expect to run to play a constructive role in this regard i don't agree with those who say that the americans are have it we're having trouble telling our allies what to do i see no evidence of that so far they complain but then do what they're told we have a saying here in america talk is cheap they complain but in the end of they do what they're told i hope it is different this time i hope they look at these actions and

say that their own security may be at stake and they need to summon the courage and the independence to look out for their own interests and not simply submit to the dictates of washington. and it's not just iran feeling the pressure from the us restrictions fashion sanctions have been announced by america's notch national security advisor against cuba and venezuela done bolton said the two latin american states along with nicaragua constitute a troika of tyranny and as if reports that strap line is just the latest in time honored tradition and it is designed to turn the hint. the u.s. government loves catch phrases short catchy and even easier to push through the press and to give them credit they aren't half bad reaganomics a bomb of care the war on drugs the war on christmas alternative facts and this this huge and this new one is maybe even better this troika of tyranny this

triangle of care stretching from havana to caracas to managua is the cause of immense human suffering so here is the triple coober nicaragua venezuela all three left leaning socialist states with anti american sentiment what a surprise by the way i reworded troika of tyranny into to radek triple so if i hear the state department stealing my phrase it's going to be trouble but the home topic washington has a history of packaging nations into bite size so lurkers who can forget the axis of evil states like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil arming to threaten the peace of the world back then the bad guys were iran iraq and north korea and the term was so good that marketing genius john bolton made

a sequel that same year beyond the axis of evil there are other rogue states intent on acquiring weapons of mass destruction particularly biological weapons that included libya. and cuba again congratulations cuba for making it both into the axis of evil and the troika of tyranny lots to look forward to more sanctions invasion maybe there are still spots open in the fall faction the villainess few and the atrocious assembly hugo well they all have sort of socialist government stayed out also hugh the us line in latin america but this is a strategy i mean they're not they're all poor countries relative to the united states and even if they were scheming in some sort of an alliance but it's nothing that would threaten the united states f.y.r. the original axis of evil and beyond the axis of evil nominees were libya syria and

iraq and all were either invaded by the us or torn apart and civil war with american troops coming in later but that's by the by what i can tell you is it isn't easy to come up with and market these little slogans for everyone you don't like which is why they have a generic term as a placeholder regimes the syrian regime aside and putin regimes kim jong un is terror regime the regime of nicolas maduro iran's regime so china russia iran and others regimes and everyone else that doesn't do is the us says on the other hand saudi arabia and duress and other family run and the prizes a government's government atari's governments saudi arabia and the u.a.e. their governments go in under us as government of qatar i mean nothing personal it's just politics you do is the us asks and you're good and you get

a clean slate and a blind eye to whatever shenanigans you're up to but if you don't you're in trouble mr worst case he had saddled with a dumb nickname conjured up by a. board with access to a thesaurus and too much free time and even worse case scenario invaded though in case you were a put nomination igs sure to look up for any parachuting u.s. troops that's primarily to sell these regimes as evil but it's a real oh it's a real problem we demonize other countries because then pressure builds well why aren't you doing something about it and so i mean we go down this road you could possibly have some military action against one or more of these countries simply because the rhetoric gets inflamed when you put labels on you know clever marketing way opposed to one countries together let's just lump all the you've all in the

world in one slogan and that's again what we're doing i think they're taking the pattern of the george w. bush administration. and using it again in iran the un has voted overwhelmingly in support of lifting the us economic and finance and cut and paste on cuba is the twenty seventh time if somebody has a shit the call to end the restrictions right has and for which the un lashed out at the global body for adopting the resolution. once again we were reminded why so many people believe that faith in the united nations is often misplaced the brutal whens of the castro dictatorship denial of freedom and the denial of the most basic human rights for the cuban people the people of cuba are our neighbors and our friends and they are fellow children of god they use this all the time that's the word bandied around but these are democratically elected people as you've known it

released flies in the face of a country that just demands having voter suppression whether it's immunize these weezer popular governments with with participation voter participation percentages that far outstrip the united states you only have about a little over fifty percent now after barak obama of the of the electorate participating or the the citizens immunize these participating in elections in cuba it's like eighty percent these are a completely against the spirit and the foundation of the united nations charter they are via violations of the sovereignty of nations none of these countries have posed any threat whatsoever to the united states or to any other country's. best midterm elections are just a matter of days away and everybody is on the alert for russian trolling. in twenty sixteen presidential u.s. intelligence and the media convinced moscow is at it again his public ok with the

latest episode of in case you missed it this special guy and spotting russian medalist. the u.s. midterms are almost here and in case you missed it it's highly likely you've been interfered with by a russian. these u.s. midterms are being described as the worst important since the last one and russian to fair and has been mentioned so often that some americans think it's the main account today there will be so naive votes is who don't believe that russia's influence their votes but the media and politicians in need of support or an excuse to say most definitely has and if you come across them russian influence can be subliminal to underestimate how susceptible you are. so you can make sure that you don't pull reject him here's what i see why my handy guide on how to spot the russian influence campaign called wait if you need to russian any russian you've

been tampered with it's pointless even to vote saying that search all media is the main battleground for russian influence for example if your attention is captured by a bright and mildly funny online video about politics presented by a girl with from take half always find out who is signing the paychecks. attention to detail is key don't let anything positive you buy russians. i cannot stress this enough the influence can be subliminal voting republican will make you more attractive expert speculation suggests that russian interference on twitter that is actually really easy to spot if you come across extreme views questionable means old badly thought out opinions there probably from some between twenty fifteen and twenty seventeen an overwhelming one out of every twenty three

thousand pieces the content of this took place just as it exists in russian troll bombs this is why vigilance is key. link i mean they said they're all role models who can help to show the way like hillary clinton she could find russian interference in the slightest sum up and one way also might leave we will only know how much russian interference has been once the results are announced if the democrats do well demo russia had no influence whatsoever but if the republicans do well well then break out the board because you have basically living in the united states of russia so as you prepare to vote in the more times they. take. on the job i'm quite a person that should beat it. t.v. reality oprah winfrey has shown time room is she's going to run for president in twenty twenty other celebrities that might still go for the top job at the white

house. this is what i'm here to tell you that this was made for you i mean. you've said though that if you did run for president you believe you'd win. well i don't know i think that when i tell you i would go into lives. i don't want to run out. a lot. a lot of people want to see

a different leadership today or i'm sorry not different but a better leadership today seriously would you run i would i'm seriously considering like you i guess. why don't you run for president donald trump that way everyone will have everything i ran for president i would wind. up with. as outrage in the u.k. after a t.v. executive dressed up for halloween as the killer of a saudi journalist jamal khashoggi story after this break. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line to get accepted or

rejected. so you want to be president. for something i wanted. to do like to be close to see what the fuck korean people are. interested in the why. question. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this spirit dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

welcome back to the program halloween costumes aren't just scary these days because sometimes they also cause offense to t.v. executive in the u.k. has sparked outrage after dressing up as the killer of sighted journalist jamal khashoggi. sickening insensitivity and indifference to the murder of jamal khashoggi it's a just see on fit for your job with i.t.v. his a public figure and has shown appallingly but taste and insensitivity in. does the head of commissioning for comedy and entertainment still have a job unbelievably crass and stupid behavior. i.t.v. editor asif zubairy showed up at a celebrity party in london wearing a bloodied white coat a headscarf and carrying a plastic severed hand with turkey now accusing the saudi hit squad of killing the journalist at riyadh's consulate a month ago mr is about he says he regrets his choice of costume i'm

a private individual who attended a private party i realized my how in cost humanity and some people who for which i apologize and by munich made a similar apology after dressing up as a suicide bomber fenian in the running to the picture of his team party on wednesday in the traditional arab rope and dog glasses carrying a box with the would danger the brazilian defender late to tweeted that he did not want to hurt anyone's feelings we had some contrast in views on the story from a guess. i just choose to be offended by actual actions by things that actually matter things that actually do hurt people where there is real violence or real threat in a political environment like the one that we have know that is very violent characterized by tragedies by violence by racism and what we are seeing in this outrage is that people find it unacceptable and are demanding a higher standard for how we should come together and represent ourselves as

a culture i don't see the hate in all the morbidity that your other guest happens to see and i'm not saying that it doesn't exist out there in pockets certainly it doesn't certainly we should fight that but let's do it effectively and not worry about how people dress up we have to understand that politics comes in a range of forms it comes in elections and voting obviously comes in through the economy and who holds power of service to sions and it certainly comes in the culture as well what are you going to do are you going to pass a law that bans halloween if you offend someone you should i don't know what what fill in the brain blank be put in jail i just calling for in place calling for sleeping laws if you have. know i don't know but i'm asking you what should know by stalin from sweden laws culture plays a tremendous role in shaping the ideologies the believes and the actions that play out politically on more formal concrete ways will want to be offended and spend

their time that way that's fine i see identity politics as something that is has grossly divided us and the problem with public policy is we can scream and yell and be offended about everything what's being called complaining is actually is actually pull it all discourse and political practice you know and that's what we're doing and i'm not saying that it should never be mentioned if someone wears something that you know is hurtful or insensitive i think that we've taken it a bit too far in some cases. at least seven palestinians were injured in clashes with israeli forces on the eastern border of the gaza strip on friday as palestinians continue their territorial protest as the march of return demonstrators had been burning tires and waving lines israeli forces responded with tear gas reportedly leaving dozens suffering from breathing problems palestinians have been coming to the border every friday since the end of knowledge demanding the return of historical lands israeli authorities have continued to defend their

use of force saying that defending the border from terror. over five thousand palestinians are currently imprisoned in israel with more than five hundred serving life sentences for terry lated offenses they're often from britain from having any contact with their family this is led to the wives of some prisoners to resort to radical methods. i congratulate family owns a book of his son home. to cut all prisoners filtering. scrutiny in the israeli prisons of the most secure in the world the palestinian prisoners are still able to toss the sperm to their wives by a president or newly released inmate then the wife's go to ikea for the board she's

with the sperm. to keep. its hands believe it could happen because of the tight security measures being taken during the security prisons meetings with their relatives and in general. this. moment in the zero hour in just prison there they have and then flew for assistance. that's a roundup of the news for now i'll be back at the top of the hour for more but first here on out international is the kaiser report.

you know world's big partisan movie a 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 smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back 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 high. there's now a bolo around praying here in rwanda to know why says terrorists from. bad memories. oh twenty four years ago this country song

a real end of the world. after the genocide there a mom women in rwanda that man. it fell to women to fix what the men had broken. and. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us of the with one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes have been huge fish. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be all for rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar

a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need remember in one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. i am sure this is the kaiser report yeah we're still on the road doing a gonzo american pilgrimage leading up to the big midterm elections america's i'm going to nervous breakdown and we want to capture every nuance and particularity of it in a stacy in a previous show i mentioned that we passed a dead horse on the highway i think is leading into somebody we went back to see what happen to the horse horse was gone except for this one horse shoe so this is the only thing left of that dead horse we found on the highway being. i think horse

shoes are supposed to be lucky enough for that horse so for thirteen one episode thirteen no one actually we saw the dead horse we did see a dead horse right outside of flagstaff where we are sitting right now flagstaff is of course old cowboy country and we're here and it's having a great time on our gonzo journey but i want to know a few things that we saw all along the way in particularly in san francisco where we know about this homelessness crisis and it's a horrific one but the u.n. has just declared this like inhumane and cruel. the most progressive city in america and yet it's extremely cruel towards a large percentage of its population they in fact the u.n. said that. san francisco cuts these people off from their water and other services basic human services you know it reminds me of a comment we made a while ago we're talking about the bailouts of two thousand and eight being like the reparations that were forced onto germany at the treaty of versailles what i

mean by that is that after the huge loss of wall the war one of the treaty of versailles imposed these dry kone and reparations on germany which bankrupted the country and led to the horrors of world war two in two thousand and eight the bankers were. given sixteen seventeen trillion dollars or so as reparations after they held the economy hostage and it created this huge schism in the economy this huge wealth and income gap now here we are in twenty eighteen and you have conditions that are like pre world war one or pre world war two europe where one class of society is about to go completely under the bridge and into the river sticks to a fiery end because they've been ignored they've been scapegoated they've been vilified and they've been castigated to the flames of hell due to nail liberalism in america expressed in san francisco there are literally flushing an entire populace.
