you know actually at the last round. we called these protests in france is very important because last week momo core give up on all taxes promised to the french or the season but no the people has to go do the point is because they want to leave and it's a very big problem for most of legitimacy because since the beginning it was a scene that is a french election actually years a big leg of legitimacy because it came through. really should all and who enter during the last eighteen months is it was anybody creates the legitimacy it didn't have the beginning of the presidency and because many of the scandals to the french people when it was also a country. that for instance there is no. reforms but when it is only seen you did increase in taxes so is no more demand but

actually. it wasn't it you made up all ok but you are right stay with us here glenn the office of the french presidency is very powerful it was made that way intentionally as exactly a had to say it's a question of legitimacy crisis of legitimacy where do we go from here it's a good question i think for micron like he was very late and this is. more or less almost as an independent into this election so he was anointed by the media and the power here. and i agree with what is said on that point because he was very much this very charismatic investment banker or the media hailed this you know defender of europe and especially europe. believed it needed a defender because we had the rise of populists so when mccomas able to win they were socially recognized as he was the bork against the populist but. again the

problems from the global financial crisis was never sold. i think it's best was able to temporarily delay what have to happen which is an upset in the french political system as well as people do want real changes so you know what is interesting to hear more is that it wasn't political parties that were. pushing this forward it wasn't trade unions it was no it wasn't institutions it was the lack of functioning institutions that have brought people out into the street and high prices of course the lack of funds winning institutions and mccraw and neoliberal globalist policies. approval rating has fallen from some fifty five percent down the eighteen percent while polls also show that sixty eight to seventy two percent of the french people support the protests that the media is trying to create a myth as violent and mobs and so on when we see clearly that it is you

and fire men and students out there protesting and it's not just in paris it's all across all across the country and they're not just protesting the fuel taxes and mccrone personally but they're also protesting very specific thing other things in his policy like his removal of the wealth tax with one hand in the hands an extra fuel tax to the working class and the poor or the other hand he removes taxes from the ultra wealthy and corporations so that we're saying is that he made that if you know if you're for saving the environment let the working class pay for it well absolutely he was called the president of the reach of he is speeches last year he made a scandalous remark he said that at the train stations train stations are wonderful places because there you could meet the people who succeed and the. people who are

nothing so obviously the people who succeed are the people and the people who are nothing is really going to go home and you again here instead of let them eat cake if they don't want to pay my fuel taxes let them buy expensive electric cars this is exactly what the european press is the right and wrong you know that he was mistaken would be to behave like mario in two and that even though mario thought that never actually said this phrase it was ascribed this is what historically i mean let me go back because of the exam being maybe it's too early to say here we don't want to jump the gun but i mean if there is a crisis of legitimacy with the president of france where do we go from here i mean if he won't have the moral authority he has the legal authority let's not deny that but if he doesn't have the moral authority would he be doing the country a favor by leaving. the point of the privilege is a very strong institution strong constitution fodder for the president so actually

even if he is not popular against the end. but the problem is no easy you want to be able to take any decision because you look at you have to understand are people going on the street and started it their walk as they work all the rest of the week so it's working people ready to no one wanted to go to the cinema so all they have time to to cover each totally on the show is it easy and to work and to get out of the country eno as you say not only in paris but in all the big city well something very important up and yesterday. actually the minister of interior you sent a main of the french. troops to paris but the rest of the country was free so in a with strong and strong go that it used to be the last three weeks in model. even you know in smaller and smaller cities are out to really the security systems

for ease of overload and actually can't normal or. govern the country maybe even propose on tuesday to change a prime minister what you want anything because people don't want america anymore you know mark. you started out by saying this is a protest against mia liberalism and we're seeing that it is part of what i know it's a bread and butter issue too i mean i don't deny that obviously here but i mean. the french elites should have seen something like this coming here i mean it's because it's it's affecting all of europe here we'll talk about brings in a couple of minutes here but this is it's not just a protest against mccrone even against the french elites it's a protest against ideology i would say yeah i mean and we are i think on the record as having you know. dick did this divide because it's not just the protesters on

the far right that are protesting it's the protesters on the far left this is the. pen melancholy on forty one percent of the country during the first you know round of the french vote we're still playing out the aftermath of this french election here and moving forward the people having voted for another neoliberal central globus to stop le pen but you know they've seen the same failed policies from saar cozy from holland sun to right center left right fail again and again and we're going to see this play out into the next election and it is more than just a french issue we've talked about this right left and friends it's not just in france these yellow vests protests have spread there in belgium there the netherlands there was an attempt to storm the e.u. parliament in brussels last you know that you know over the weekend so you know

what we've seen is still going to play out over the you know the days in the months of that even if mccraw and eighty nine thousand stormtroopers called into the street managed to beat back and repress the french people with but on the it's very obvious the way they're going to fuel it's all if it won't go ahead i also think it's been fueled a little bit him walking this back again it's obviously this fuel tax was a mistake to begin with suspending it i think that for the people who were just seeing a march in the streets for very limited goal stay might sit on the backs of their houses for the people who have broader goals like in unseating and this would be eating pushing for huge reforms in france for them i think if they recognized. that they did they can actually make real change if they continue this force so it might intensify conflicts i mean if anything if something like this will stop. thing for example in russia i think that by now the americans and germans will be handing out cookies you know. victoria nuland you know or maybe you know maybe assad should be

arming the modern moderates the moderate rebels. you know we've had this going on in france we're going to talk about briggs that mistake when are the european elites going to wake up that their vision for the world isn't working for the majority of the people you know you're absolutely right because it's it's not the first protest actually there were electoral protests you know when people just didn't vote for the referendum suggested by the e.u. that you failed in france in holland in other places and now look there are liberal globalists they have watched all the charismatic leaders hillary clinton on their can you and i say look here if you examine the last thirty seconds go to you in this block here are you optimistic that the vest or a permanent fixture in political life in france. actually the two point that there

is no political party is a can be pretend to be the leader of the. west. and that's probably a good thing yes actually because as soon as he would be a leader. or is desired we need to continue learned you know. movement. clear we'll. most. of the president. function ok let's go ok mccomas go to leave it on that point exactly thank you very much for joining us here we're going to go to way short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some real news with our.

join me every first day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. prosecution will need to become almost. a softball designed to take on where you are just fragile finds. by the number one place you do i mean yeah i mean i mean did our political pressure on our god you. know through security jennifer knows when to pull your bundled up business models he was my american corporations doubt he's sold on could be mental disease has a new album use. on the scene and the solution. lies up in association. i noted when he saw his it is just simply his ability to maintain an investigative documentary.

ghost war on oxy. yes there is a saying. there could be chief justice and then who went through all the countries don't let's ideas room their right to scold us comfort he said if we give them everything slipped into fast. moving this country. this is what we don't understand how we are poor in such a country. but i digress into the mindset that i think. you know what is needed i don't mean to. the soon to run up a similar solution. i do like a good one. for the us if you feel. the minority of on board not that god

can we believe without a doubt a couple without the plane. would come back to the three story you do have to see. the and the. jews who knew the. boom boom the. prosecution will need to become almost. where you. just read you'll find somebody not going to seem to i mean yeah i mean i mean political pressure on the. security generation knows what the punditry bundled up business models used by american corporations. to use. the same. solution.

and association. as it is just really want to leave him to an investigative documentary. ghost war on oxy. welcome back to crossfire were all things considered i'm peter lavelle drowned you were discussing some real news. ok we just finished discussing the yellow vests where do we go from here i think we've all to germany ok. i'll go to seeto position of the leader of their. christian democratic union which still calls itself a center right party i don't know what we should call you know no evil you know we knew for a very long time and one of the most most we careen topics the united talked about

over the years is redefining our political language and i think we're at a juncture we can separate the absolutely well. established during our previous segment look at the ultra liberal allusion everywhere hillary clinton lost in the united states merkel is leaving in dreamy it's clear that she will stop to be a chance or maybe even a good at than two thousand and twenty one to resume a nice clean into power but she may be removed in the near future in that you really were going to talk about her you know what is interesting is that you know talking about the year will vest and all of these are anti-establishment movements in europe even the new york times that york times for the first time to recognize the drought. in france and here is what they wrote these movement of you know will be asked is not focusing on racial migration and those issues don't want to be on you know what would least least of complaints it's not led by

a single firebrand their leader nationalism is not on they gender and of course so all the author of the article is that at a loss usually when something happened in europe they said it was crazy nationalist poorly your garage is a loss really. didn't you. max boot in the washington post he clearly says that this is not the french people reacting out of anger to policies this is russian trolls on face well it is an absolute stated when you know it's row moved into because it's facebook itself that has caused their to go the london times russian facebook is is fueled in french protests this is the headline that i saw russia and for example. this is a recurring theme on this program. never look into the mirror and see your own mistakes no it must be social media it must be trolls it first be russian yes you know there is no the there is no introspection here this is one of the reasons and

continues to roll this because it's not a minor issue which can be solved within our current political system because the entire political system since the cold war it's very much been this very neoliberal . format for globalism so i think. that it can be solved with within the current to live doesn't necessarily exist and that's also why this media are having this problem how do define it is you know is this put in again you know controlling the world you vote for it or all this racist coming out of the four for a story you know it's very hard to say facebook so you have all this different ways trying to explain it but at the end of the it's really. i thought of the source of the. quote it's the idea because look i mean this is what they say you know mark rohr should not be saw a rogue and well even if he wasn't a rogue and this would happen because this is kind of ingrained in the system who

is going to be the leader of movement on the march though the minister of the interior who is no the more stern poor person in the country is going to be the head of his party you know and let me just repeat what i would explain it was. said when he said that mark on one of their election just told us to actually what happened was that mongrel had twenty four percent of the vote in the first drop all the thanks to massive media support the media started to complain against francois a few on who had the biggest chance what we can but who was considered russo filed because of his friendship with president putin it was like a crime you know. creates a crime now and then and where is there the broadest of all to was divided between three candidates so the broadest award was actually bigger the it was forty percent i don't know what do i see the french source you all were just before they say that forty of our own percent of the french the same forty percent who are radiate

toward for you know to make a protest vote in two thousand and seventeen they're radia to see their representatives. in the european parliament and thirteen percent of them are saying they're going to support that at least or that you know this is going to be looking of of leaders and political turmoil we're going to break that we're getting there. it was a year ago two years ago that the western media proclaimed yes angela merkel the leader of the free world well that went out of fashion and it was made of time magazine gave it to mccrie magazine time magazine's cover micron is the leader of europe politico promoted him mccrone is the leader of the free world the free world just what do you still market with go back to that kind of i'm going to go back to the cover of time magazine leader of the free world the subtitle was but can he lead france interesting you know briggs didn't want to go to briggs and i want to

pump a you. it looks like a lot of people are leaving ok merkel's gone. across fate is unclear right now and to resume is going to probably have a very bad day and starts hers to still claim and yes. this. well they're all leaving this unclear who is going to follow them and i don't think they're going to follow. very different unless because the ideology the system won't allow a difference and it's worth pointing out a lot of the older because again the whole purpose well the whole problem of the neo liberal movement is that it doesn't have any more conservative constraints on it if you look at you know economic conservatism political conservatism before the ninety's you have. a national identity should be preserved you need is some constraint on the column if i mean where we have family values like this is actually not the worst of this are dangerous rhetoric so i think as long as the new leadership while the new leadership the current leadership in europe and the united

states continue to neglect this balance we had in the past between liberalism and conservatism you're going to have more of this problem enter stage pump a zero mark. pax americana peo tells you when you keel i c c bow and comply with u.s. led world order that's a article from our team here. you know if you people been saying you know they lamented in the passage of the liberal order what was never a very liberal was never very peaceful and it was pretty it was prosperous for a small number of people here and now pom pom pom player wants a remake what's that we make yeah pompeo said that america intends to lead now and always and that's i think we can clearly see that that is a promise and a threat right now he's speaking in jordan marshall fund which is one of the most

pro american led western hegemony organizations in europe and even they were a little taken aback by their weight poli very well being i notice if they in even where he doesn't like we want. get rid of the u.n. we want to get rid of the international criminal court that's no good for america we want to get rid of the i.m.f. and the world bank right i mean i don't personally have a problem with that particular part of it but the people in the you may have the e.u. that's no good it doesn't say it's useless the african union if you in africa think you know your interests best you are wrong because america knows your interests better than the african union anybody but this seems to me this is getting down to almost chaos theory because i mean we believe these institutions for better or worse they have a ball through time but it was basically to give all states nation states some kind

of footing here when pompei it was tearing that all apart but that's what he recognized as being that weakness if you read to listen to this little ball well what he sees for the whole world the court of peace useless if you read his whole speech the main takeaway would be his argument that multilateralism is not necessarily a good thing and the argument because because that's a barrier to his gemini whoa and it was the united states that's. a liberal democracy some of the freedom loving countries that should not become strained or by giving a voice to the rest of the world so this is very much the concept of liberal head of money and it saying that only the united states has sovereignty and no one else has solved it and this is kind of the liberal version of george orwell's animal farm in which all states are equal but some states are more equal than others but i would just point out this is not a new thing though like the whole after the cold war this is essentially how europe was set up the whole idea that we should have a common european home but rather have europe led by the e.u. and nato were excited that the liberal democracy it should run it they should not

be constrained by others like multilateralism in these limits and this very much reads like the proposal in the two thousand is for a concert of the marquesas essentially similar logic which should. be nice for she loved it but this was political and to put it. but international institutions like the culture of the marxist should not be constrained by the rest of the world we should have our own rules we should be here. for these things and talking a concert of democracies because the e.u. needs to go to right when it doesn't serve us interests he not only took specific shots at it but he also defended the idea of the nation state and you could almost see them choking back as he said that because the e.u. of course is a nation deconstructing machine right you know it's a super national great ad and we get yellow ok you've got to deal with well it's interesting. the bad guys to watch who prevent the brave new world from congo those

are the only other than us actress who calls them bad actors and when she said bad actors have talked about mccraw. i mean. i don't know why liberals are going to blame the next driven leader will be ineffective she has a very bad name on their grant. or i was hoping you would say i don't want i'll read you know you know they'd use he would clinton of not being the good candidate she doesn't like she was his miracle two point zero right yeah she's an absolute. very anti russian very manipulative i mean like what what what merkel did she just . sucked in some of the. social democratic party of the central to the left mostly of the so-called identity politics so she sucked them into a party and. destroyed the political landscape of germany and korea who is doing the same not to lead europe it doesn't need a leader we don't have you know you want to miss weapon getting out of the. very

serious thing i think you all would you can leave with all the leader you know there was a short period that has to go does that mean that the results of the results are very bad and there's also very bad last word with the germans and the rest the european leaders what they're most shocked of is the honesty. and tone of the trump administration not any huge change in policy what they lack what they've always had is the illusion that they have sovereignty that they're not just client so that the u.s. trump rich that mask off and lays it bare and says when you lead and you get a big wet towel for every job that's all the time we hear so many thanks and i guess this is the end of our broadcast segments stay with us for the extended version on our you tube channel see you next time and remember.

my. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over twenty trillion dollars and. more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second

per second and that one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars. mark but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need room. one one just a show you can't afford to miss one can only. live . there's a saying. look there can't be cheap. and then we went through all the countries let's idea is really their right to go to us companies he said it may give them implicitly slipped into past. this conflict because this is what we don't understand how we are in such

a country. let us until the ones at the same time. keep noticing fundamental. soon to run up or lose similar to similar to john a good one. because if you feel if the minutes of on board not that god can we believe again in the world with the phone about the future without the plane. to come back to the place story you have to see. it at least as a. clue. to the. fit to. fit. it.
