everybody two watching the hawks on top of the wallace and joining me today to discuss russia gate and beyond is r t america correspondent sara modest thank you so much for joining me thanks so much i want to first is there anything new in these new reports that we haven't seen before about that sort of point one point zero one percent of internet traffic during the top of the of it's more of the same narrative basically saying that facebook targeted these ads and the russians targeted facebook ads to help trump when the presidential campaign the election but really the only new thing i guess that's really surfacing is that now it's instagram so and again these these ads are kind of laughable if if you will but again facebook owns instagram so really is just using this new platform to again target people to convince them and have that effect on them to really help trump

when the presidential election yeah it's it's kind of amazing not seeing enough evidence to really show that there was this successful targeting campaign and all of that but what's interesting now when you you found out and what's come out today is michael isikoff who is a yahoo investigative journalist recently gave an interview to media eye and he was one of the first to report on the steel dossier so what was the most shocking revelation from his new interview because he's very pro narrative of russia gave him everything in the beginning so what he up to so he was one of the first to start reports and start reporting on it without first yahoo news article back in two thousand and sixteen and president trump even took to twitter this morning and praised isikoff for his honesty and what he said today and let's take a listen in the exclusive media i interview and what he said. when you actually get into the details of this deal dot ca the specific allegations

. we have not seen the evidence to support them and in fact there's good grounds to think that some of the more sensational allegations will never be proven and are likely false. so isikoff was a first for a poor on these stories that were later used by steele in the dossier and i want to make a connection here that steele was hired by fuse fusion g.p.s. a firm under contract by the d.n.c. and turned out the hillary clinton campaign and let's not forget that john mccain also helped to fund this dossier but isikoff is now arguing and saying that there is no evidence from some of the details of the dossier which is interesting because he was one of the first to report on the school gate right and he's considered one of the experts that he and you know when he says this it's because he knows he has connections with them that work but at the end of the interview isikoff also said that robert mueller is now sort of reaching his end game and we might find out much more than what we know right now but did isikoff accept any responsibility for

helping publicize essentially what he lauer largely a myth was largely fake news you know and the thing that he's pointed out too is that he's said that a lot of the details in this dossier are false like for example michael cohen who allegedly traveled to czech republic to meet with russian intelligence or even the infamous trump sex tapes that russia allegedly has now but he does say that the details are not accurate but he continues to say that steele was on to something with that dossier saying that the russians really had some sort of interference with the election for to hold the trump campaign and he stands by what he said in that sense i mean interesting is a lot of a lot of facts and things that need to be granted as took off as one of those people who is very well connected does a very good connections in order to get news out of the. you have to wonder why their turn now and why is that earlier this year we saw

a senate committee work for the dossier author christopher steele refer him for prosecution for lying to the f.b.i. and lying about contacts he had with journalists one of those was this a cough charges that are very similar to now what we're seeing now. former national security advisor michael flynn faced earlier today in federal court has christopher steele or anyone associated with his commented on the discrepancies within the dossier and that some of the sort of. accusations has he taken any responsibility for that or said anything not really he kind of pushed back on on answering certain questions in regard to that now the senate committee did refer steel because the reason that the f.b.i. was able to get the warrant for example to listen and to wiretap. on. who was on page on the foreign policy adviser to trumpet page was because of these dossiers in these articles and steal and lie to the f.b.i.

and said that he had not had contact with the coffin of the reporters which turns out clearly is not true so he was one of the first to initiate this whole rush to get investigation now is coming out and saying that a lot of the details in the report aren't accurate but again standing by what he said that there's something there that there is some sort of collusion but not being i think completely transparent about what. i mean these are mean we're seeing more of business connections it seems that of course you know trump clearly wanted a hotel he wanted to get a trump tower in moscow and it's looking more and more every day that it's business dealings between people not political dealings we aren't seeing this concerted effort to move some sort of political mechanism it's more for people to build or make money off of and it's a cough did know that more is kind of reaching an end to the investigation so what that means then we'll see in the coming days if there's really anything i mean

they're still they've been digging for two years all these resources and what they haven't found anything they haven't come out straight with it to see what it is they found so even he mentioned that which makes us question really what is in all of this clue. what that even means and what will say at the end of zero obviously there school lots more to come out now for we'll hear more thank you so much for following this story for us and making sense of both of the nonsense i guess it is so much ceremony. tis the season for robbery yes with the holiday season and cheer comes the holiday season of crime and it seems there's been quite a few nobody list folks strolling through neighborhoods making amazon packages off the front porches in recent years in fact according to business wire some twenty six million u.s. citizens had a holiday package stolen off their front porch or doorstep in just twenty fifteen alone that's a lot of stolen goods well thankfully many are starting to fight back including one

former nasa engineer who went full kelvin mcallister home alone in his fight against porch package holiday and larceny charges has more. how gets them. there are major problem this time of year especially with forged pirates you know the people who steal someone's package right off their doorstep. so a former nasa engineer now you tube star took the matter into his own hands and i just feel like something needs to be done to take a stand against dishonest punks like this his name is mark rober he's a former nasa engineer turned you tube star with over four million subscribers on the platform he says he previously spent nine years helping design nasa's curiosity rover but these days he's known for his elaborate science experiments and homemade gadgets and most recently for his glitter bomb i built a dart board that moves to get a bull's eye every time i spent nine years designing hardware it's currently moving

around under another freaking plane if anyone that was going to break with the package over engineer the crap out of it it was going to be me inspired from the one nine hundred ninety s. movie home alone where eight year old kevin mccallister defensive self against two burglars with this little hobby traps decided to make a booby trap of his own when a package was taken from a sports let's go to the package from my porch and now he's about to open it in his car but he doesn't know this is a custom built package that is recording him on four different cameras and it's about to unleash the power of the world's finest order along with some other surprises but understand how we got to this point first we need to rewind. he spent six months crafting the revenge package that looks like an apple product and after thieves nab it it unleashes a pound of glitter when opened then followed up by spurting out for free as research he says his real this is only one of the latest efforts to prevent individuals from stealing parcels from porches other efforts include police sting

operations and amazon's a smart locks and amazon key that allows delivery people to into your home and leave packages of course there monitored more than half of americans reported knowing somebody who was a victim of package theft and thirty percent of those people reported being one of them reporting in new york trinity chavez r.t. . as we go to break don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our full shows at arcade outcome. after the break we'll sit down with north carolina activists. and he famously toppled one of the many confederate statues that litter of the south but even when they're physically removed the fight doesn't then and if you're a poacher in missouri i hope you like disney movies. to watch in the.

imagine being a six thirty five and you have a career and a career involves using your eyes only in your computer and things like that being in an office and perhaps you sort of getting fixes are given to you could have to stop doing all this in this kind of you lou the minutes must be from my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up running it in a box. or out at a very strong magnetic field on my head in my head. think of it like a real hard pressure my skin burns and that wireless access point out there says

continuous on say with our students in the schools. we are just continually bathing our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electro small and it's getting worse. when lawmakers manufacture consent instant of public wealth. when the writing classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round to listen to the one percent. that's not doing all middle of the room signals. to leave the room for the real news is. the world.

well you know the fires they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates there's a lot. of being there in the smaller ball it's next to the hard pool of ships and it's just a. lot tougher than. the little self the big cold fish already ninety plus end of a dot and it won't be calmer. concept fifteen scoops seventy five tons to run up and they do it several times a day with a clean collar you get an idea on why the ocean is all. we have to understand we can all stay still and just. be within this deed is the only going because i. am doing this because i want the future world to the future can generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamped each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be old for 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 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 numbers you need to remember is one to one business show you can afford to miss the one and only boom. the u.s.

senate struggling rebuke so do you radio with the shogi murder and calls for an end to the american involvement in the war on yemen is this the defining moment for this bilateral relationship the so-called values strong. political reality. according to north carolina state law a monument memorial or work of art owned by the state may not be removed relocated or altered in any way without the approval of the north carolina historical commission in addition the monuments may not be permanently removed and may only be relocated whether temporarily or permanently which is why it's become so difficult to permanently remove the silent sam statue from the campus of the university of

north carolina chapel hill so i went sam as it is called is a bronze statue that was wrecked in one thousand thirteen by the united daughters of the confederacy which to memorialize the young men who left if i call left college to fight for the confederacy in the civil war is has been steeped in racism since the day it went up and confederate veterans but when a confederate veteran actually bragged the day went up about horsewhipping a block woman for insulting a white woman since then the statue has been vandalized over and over again since chapel hill was officially integrated in the mid one nine hundred fifty s. so when the statue was toppled by protesters on august twentieth of this year many thought that would silence old sam then in october the university trying to work around the laws governing the monument posed building a five point three million dollars is story center with a statue at the center u.n.c. trustee laurie cardwell told the press the preference would be to take the word of facts off campus but. we have

a law and the law prevents that and we are obliged to follow the law well joining us from durham north carolina help us understand the removal of these more memorials and the fight to keep them removed is tickets home state and activist who is best known for being the one to topple another confederate statue in durham in august of twenty seventeen in the aftermath of the deadly white supremacist march in charlottesville welcome to kenya and thank you so much for joining us today i. thank you to you to care i want to start by asking you know about the statue that you were involved in taking down you said you were thinking about your ancestors and i think many don't really understand what that means from someone of african descent living in the south in the united states can you elaborate to what why it's so important for these things to be taken down. so i think when. they go oh the struggle for dignity.

that has taken place not just america not just the south of america. but you know throughout the diaspora my mother's. jimmy going to say my father was born in haiti so i think about that and also think about you know just the history of resistance. to. do you. know terror and that's what that's that you know for him i think it was a struggle. to you know. allow people in people across the south. what happened in charlottesville it wasn't just the struggle around you know the statues i mean when we talk about the circle around dignity we could even take take that and think about the struggle around civil rights you know. the struggle to end segregation it wasn't about eating out

woolworths or words was probably disgusting it was the fact that you know you were relegated to second class citizen second class citizen so that has to be resisted at every turn so that's what i was talking about and quite literally that day. i was reading phenomena and thinking about the struggle to. reinstate dignity in colonised people so it's a major thing because these these statues aren't just statues they aren't just about a history or heritage there's a lot more to them what you know now that the silent sam statue which is has come up again now stood on the grounds of u.n.c. chapel hill but after it was toppled. much like the statue that you top of the courthouse there were a lot of credit even if there was this idea of where to put it next and now protests have broken out over this idea that the college came up with this idea

what do you so well great just about the idea of spending five and a half million dollars to protect this statue with a history building. you know i think the worst part. isn't even you know building. the building you know the worst part is what was hidden in the proposal in the appendices of the proposal was to create a forty person. mobile unit could. descend on any one of the u.n.c. system schools and the u.n.c. system school has seventeen colleges and father which are h b c u's so that would cost two million dollars to create or two million dollars a year to run on top of the five million that would be the one time expenditure for

the building and then after that there would be a hundred thousand dollars a year expenditure to create a shrine for asylum and if we look at the law. carol fall fall. the other person that you mentioned earlier in the segment they're using a rhesus interpretation of the law. you know it says the statue cannot be moved or really will relocate so to relocate the statue inside of a white supremacist safe space would be you know. breaking the law also so you know you're choosing to follow the law but you're choosing to follow it to. a racist letter of the law so let me ask you about that because that's the thing that you hear so much from white supremacists and white supremacist culture and sort of this idea is and they're right conservatives is that there's this idea

we it's history and you can't criticize it you can't do this what does that mean that they expect a safe space they expect students to pay for it especially students some of those students are going to historically black colleges and they honestly think that you should pay to protect their racist history what does that say to young activists like yourself how does that hurt. what everyone's trying to do because it's ludicrous to me it's ludicrous. i think what it does is it just paints the picture perfectly clear. the cops and clan go hand in hand. you have this clan memorabilia and you have a plan. that was put together by retired police officers who

investigated and infiltrated the student movement on campus so you have a piece of klan memorabilia and you have the friends of the confederacy or the police. protecting this monument and then you have. a proposal drawn up by the elites who run this public institution to create another police force. to protect the confederacy so. you know as painful as it is to have to struggle this struggle against. i think it really does do the job of or do the job of. an activist or revolutionary in making clear. the power dynamics and having a real clear understanding of state power and the extra judicial arm of state power

which is the clay and. i mean you and she has created a picture and drawn it so clearly you know so one of the things that that boggles me is that we have over five hundred close to seven hundred or more of these confederate statues around the country mostly in southern states but in the last couple of years not just from since charlottesville but before you've had from here in the here in washington d.c. the thomas jefferson memorial they added contacts to it saying he was a slave owner you had statues taken down and wisconsin as far as california missouri montana the thing is when i looked up you know the daughters of the confederacy which i didn't even know existed i couldn't fathom doing the thing but when i looked on there they say the united daughters of the confederacy totally

denounces any individual group that promotes racial divisiveness or white supremacy and we call on these people to cease using confederate symbols for their own bore and reprehensible purposes i want to ask you one. why. why does just out in context not answer the question doesn't answer the question and doesn't really deal with the problem of just saying they were bad but were so memorialized them and how does the words of the daughters of the confederacy the excuse of what was a racist to begin with they just did what how much to how ludicrous or how bad is that to say and what does it say about the people looking at this situation we need to save space. is a bully and attempt to revise history. the confederacy existed to defend the institution of slavery. slavery is racist i mean i

don't you know i just don't know how much simpler to make it yeah i think when we entertain the ideas of the confederate the daughters of the confederacy too much. that becomes a problem but like i said i think it's revisionist history it's the same thing is the trying to repaint itself as a boy's club. is racism yeah i want to thank you so much for coming on here because it's true you're looking at a very disturbing rewriting of history to protect those things says a lot about our country and you know at a time where people are screaming about the idea that we're being divided this is one way that should be taken down so that that division is gone and we don't make excuses for rewriting history we don't make those excuses thank you so much for coming on the show and i look forward to talk to you again as the fight goes on you know every day to get social justice for everyone here in america thank you so much . thank you. in one

nine hundred forty two disney classic bambi a phone's mother a shot by a hunter sorry to ruin it for you. at one point in the film bambi's father the great prince of the forest warns bambi of danger saying it is may and he's here again perhaps that is the message lawrence county missouri judge robert george wanted to habituate david barry jr to hear seabury was sentenced to one year in prison for each legally killing hundreds of trophy sized adult male deers decapitation them and then leaving the rest of the deer carcass to rot in the woods but the judge didn't quite think that was enough and ordered barry to watch the movie they m.b. once a month for his entire prison term this is in addition to over fifty thousand dollars in fines and court costs which goes to show you should never disrespect the life of the forest trying to poach a deer in missouri. or eat possums before bedtime that search show three year today

remember everyone in this world we're not told where i left and loved enough so i tell you all i lot feel on top of the wallets keep on watching those hot sauce the expense of a great day and night every. dimension of the six thirty five he ever but career and career involves using your eyes and your computer or things like that being in an office. perhaps you sort of getting to that. you're going to have to stop doing this and this is how you do that was the phrase my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i

ended up winning it and a box. of very strong magnetic field on a card in my head. think of it like a real hard shirt my skin burns and that wireless access point here just continues on saying with our students in the schools. we are just continually bathing our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electro small and it's getting worse. what is the pin that's going to pop the global bubble back in two thousand and eight it was a two thousand a subprime crisis. today i think we can safely say that the bubble popped but the collapse of deutsche about.

what. we put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. want to. have to go right to be close this is what the before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested in the waters. there should. be all. yes to all this is all the proof.

so. if. you are. at the sentencing of donald trump's claim a national security advisor lying to the f.b.i. and later once again we look at how his case is overshadowed by words like treason under meddling. and one of the first journalists to report.
