for just twelve euros fifty per month. protests across the us after president trump for south attorney general jeff sessions who initially rallied his nomination and i'm standing against his removal . i like. most people from the point where you're protesting now. because i'm a. white women in texas for a second stations of betraying feminist values after casting votes in favor of the republican state's republican candidate. i'm very tired of being castigated as some
7:01 am
sort of racist simply based on my skin color who are you who interests are you representing if you're only as a white woman representing the best interest of other white women then we absolutely have a problem absolutely. on the way in moscow for the first time in seventeen years the taliban are engaged in. negotiations. the live from moscow i'm daniel hawkins wherever you are today thanks for joining us on the program. the protesters across the united states have rallied in the wake of donald trump's the fire attorney general jeff sessions they fear the moola probe into alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixth presidential election could now be sidelined in an unexpected twist some of those who initially opposed his nomination have now taken to the streets over his departure the scale of more pain
7:02 am
and find out they don't seem to care much for the man himself. jeff sessions the u.s. attorney general who just stepped down has got some new friends liberals and progressives across the country are taking to the streets to protest his removal it's over nine hundred cities that are having protests a major mobilization but was jeff sessions a friend of progressives hardly jeff sessions that i was a zero rating for the human rights campaign on gay rights a guy who asked the department of the national council of nannies why they were buying so many books on islam the zero tolerance policy means zero humanity and it makes zero sense for his political or motivated voting fraud prosecutions to his indifference toward criminal violations of civil rights laws back in two thousand and sixteen when jeff sessions was first nominated the liberal organization known as move on dot org issued a petition opposing him they accused him of making racist comments opposing equal
7:03 am
pay for women immigration and opposing hate crimes legislation this is how jeff sessions confirmation hearings went there and. oh mary are rare. but now the very same organizations that protested against his nomination are now protesting his departure they fear that the removal of sessions could pave the way for an end to the bob muller investigation into alleged ties between trump and russia the recent nothing i like about most of the people they found with trump appointed. i mean but you're protesting his departure right well actually now that's the key but i'm uli's physician and investigating until he finishes if it takes a month or more it takes two years so this isn't really about jeff sessions about my mole or. knowing snow in supposed to look that's what i'm here for what did you
7:04 am
protest when he was appointed. i protested the immigration policy on the families together day are you protesting now. because i'm mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore move on very very definitely protested and had a petition going which shows sign with regard to the appointment of joe of social as attorney general given his track record as a racist but the point is at this stage of the game i'm not and i don't think move on is protesting his removal but raul there who it is who is before steve outside of the constitutional provisions to be his replacement very deep board this think back in two thousand and sixteen jeff sessions was public enemy number one as far as lots of liberals were concerned but now that he's been removed it seems that
7:05 am
jeff sessions has joined an elite group of people who've been fired by donald trump it seems like in twenty eighteen in the united states politics isn't so much about principles but rather about who is your friend and who is your enemy. r.t. new york. the u.s. is still read of course from its fiercely disputed midterm elections which saw the democrats win control of the house but failed to take the senate on some key states they had high hopes for such as in texas for example where the republican candidate ted cruz won after a time battle and now there are accusations those women who voted for cruz betrayed feminism with their votes a prominent sports journalist sets off the debate fifty nine percent of white women voted for tash chris fifty three percent are white women voted for donald trump so given this numbers who is the real face of feminism this is just the latest criticism of republican voting women by liberals and progressives here's
7:06 am
a few other examples. what is happening why are women even voting for him yeah i don't get you what it is i mean the country's fifty five percent. i mean the country was pretty. well we have tons of black presidents when i see women doing that i think why are they publicly disrespecting themselves voted against hillary clinton voted against their own voice. and by vote for anybody nobody you are a woman and you are never going to have it and it will be. so i guess. i don't get it. she scared me or put the issue of feminism in politics up for debate with the women's rights advocates and the media commentator. the tradition of women just voting independently as they think and not based on their gender or their skin color or those kinds of things that is true independence i'm very tired
7:07 am
of being castigated as some sort of racist simply based on my skin color and especially and especially because i happen to be the mother of a child with brown skin and so to decide that based on my skin color that i as i sounds are only what are you voting for betty interests of that. the person accusing makes the person accusing me the actual racist. knowledge says there's no such thing as reverse racism we'll start there but here's the issue if you're not voting in the best interest of that boy you get the rule around child that you have then here's the question what type of mother are you because here's the question at the end of the day we want children to be protected so we need gun laws that reflect that if you're voting against the interest of your own child in school then we have to raise the question what are you voting for the second red flag and i are going to do you until you have other women and their reproductive rights when you know that ted cruz is not interested in protecting protecting
7:08 am
reproductive rights when you know that ted cruz is not interested in equal pay for other women and you know that women who are brown skin and women of other ethnicities are paid what why women are paid then i have to ask you the question who are you who interests are you representing if you're only as a white woman were presenting the best interest of other white women then we absolutely have a problem absolutely it is the republicans by the way it is the party of abraham lincoln that actually fought for civil rights and won over the democrats so if you want to vote in accordance with what is civil rights and you would want to vote republican now thirdly she brought up the issue and we don't know that those are how to is someone and we say when i was it was part of the seal there that's my stance and that's the feminine stand. on that now thirdly when she's talking about how do you say of course i want to go this is a war with iran it's right so i view all of that i'm all that has made me girls who were aborted what about their rights if you're going to talk about women's rights
7:09 am
what about the baby girls rights who are killed ten thousand per day every day you know i know you're blowing my mind about republicans you talk about abortion but do you protect the children while they're here if it's ok for you to lead a school full of children be shot i do because you as a woman want to have the right to bear arms but you don't protect those children who can't carry guns inside those school i mean it's insane and so when you talk about oh well i support a man who you know ted cruz but he doesn't support my with when you are a conservative woman you celebrate the things that you've actually accomplished based on your own you know own drive and your own freedom and your own will and your motivation and those kinds of things that's what i would rather be judged for the rather than things like going backward to things like religion and skin color and gender to me those in the home of those are the ones that we say they. going to stay with and we need to get really come over here and basing things on
7:10 am
marriage and accomplishment because because no matter what skin color what gender you are you can be anything you want to be we're the freest best country want in the heraldry race and this that you are some thing to celebrate for not i want you to whine about and to vote with your other white community and so we're going to forget about all of those things and just stand on my privileges i don't really do you resent it where she is and she wants to stand there i'd like to just say thank you to jim l. hill for what she said i just support her as a michigan state alumni i want to say go girl. russia says the west is upon the diplomatic protocol that adopted a pattern of publicly accusing most school of wrong doing so to austria to use one of its own for the high ranking on. the offices of spying for russia but even. i had a chance to ask russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov to comment on the recent allegations coming from austria that former austrian colonel was accused of spying for russia
