greetings sally was by now i'm sure that most of you have heard the news that russia gate is officially no more hashtag resistant savior robert mueller his own hands no less but they are not cool losing fans because of team trump shenanigans with controversial foreign leaders seeking to destabilize regions who murdered journalist and protesters as recently as last year is what you seek then may i present to you israeli president benjamin netanyahu in the early apac conference currently taking place here in washington d.c. and the best part is it's not just trump who you will be able to catch colluding
3:31 am
this series speakers list includes vice president mike pence senator ted cruz speaker of the house nancy pelosi and democratic senate leader charles schumer who yes the big time washington lobbying group the american israel public affairs committee or a pac is in town and there is a whole host of political drama and controversy awaiting it as political reports the annual gathering comes in an extraordinarily turbulent moment in u.s. and israel relations israel's become a partisan football with trump's republican party on one side and a new generation of democrats including the first palestinian american woman in congress on the other u.s. president donald trump added to the combust of drama last thursday after he got to proclamation and signed a proclamation officially granting u.s. recognition of the golan heights israeli territory and a dramatic shift from decades old u.s. policy. to which israeli president benjamin netanyahu wonderfully exclaimed israel has never had a better friend than you donald trump or is it
3:32 am
a better friend to netanyahu is reelection dreams because remember my friends when you strip everything away all of this isn't about the good people of israel or the good people of palestine and syria at the end of the day moves like this will always be about power and the politicians biting for it and maintaining it nothing more and let's start watching the hawks. to. get the. real deal with. the bottom. like you that i got. with. this. welcome on the watch of the hawks i have been to and i'm to have
3:33 am
a lot less than joining us live from a packed me a pack conference is our team erica correspondent dan cowan welcome dan. good to be with you you know i got to ask with all the different controversies swirling around these days from accusations of am i suddenly being thrown out represent a bill and all marx bros and donald trump recognizing israel's occupation of the golan heights to the democrats republicans now playing this kind of part of a part of some football with you know over israeli support what is the focus of the talk on the floor in the hallways of a package of the conference. if i had a shot for every denunciation of illinois omar i've heard today i would be on a stretcher on my way out here to the hospital i mean she's been kind of the locus of of hate you know one of one of. the apac speakers added to they are part of the muslim brotherhood and that the muslim brotherhood is now in congress and you know
3:34 am
he ended up not speaking but it but it shows like a real culture of islamophobia i just saw just a minute ago i heard the secretary of state mike pompei o denouncing antis zionism as anti-semitism now at a zionist which is actually includes quite a few jews even from progressive secular left wing jews to orthodox jews like the south mars in williamsburg brooklyn who reject zionism for religious reasons now take a listen to what mike pence the vice president had to say the smore inning about nomar. recently a freshman democrat in congress trafficked in repeated and tissue medic troops alleged congressional support for israel reflected. an allegiance to a foreign country. so that israel have quote hypnotized the world and.
3:35 am
anyone who slanders those who support this historic alliance between the united states and israel should never have a seat on the foreign affairs committee of the united states house. now so we heard mike pence denouncing you know very thin veil referring to. denouncing her as an anti-semite as i've heard so much today in the halls on stage but listen to what representative stan the whole year had to say yesterday on stage here about allegiance to israel. stand with israel proudly and on apologetically. the of so ladies and gentlemen when someone accuses american supporters of dual loyalty. accuse me. of the of. so there you have it on
3:36 am
omar is called an anti-semite if she declares says she shouldn't have to declare allegiance to israel meanwhile stanny hoyer is a good congressman if he declares his allegiance to israel i'll never say it never ceases to amaze me how you can literally spend all of that money to have a meeting about something and and be so obtuse and so disingenuous about what's really going on and to go after a young woman which is just yeah horrifying one thing i want to real quick we have about a minute left i recollect what what's happening with the controversy surrounding it has a right to trump's recognition of the golan heights. but keep in mind the timing that this recognition is happening i mean the russia gate narrative has totally crumbled as the attorney general bar has. basically put you know the dagger through the heart of. so you know the trumpet ministration is celebrating this meanwhile the trumpet the trumpet ministration is also apparently collaborating with colluding
3:37 am
you could even say conspiring with the trump administration to legally and axe the syrian golan heights and there's absolutely no resistance to that so netanyahu the prime minister of israel met with donald trump today in the oval office where they basically trump signed a letter signifying u.s. recognition of israeli sovereignty over the occupied syrian golan heights and there's been really not a peep about it. said credible dan i want to thank you for all the good work you're doing out there at the ground the conference and thank you for joining us today during the call in our to your maricopa. since the time of the roman empire the burden of proof is on the one who declares not the one meaning you're innocent until proven guilty it's not a small mack's of american law it's critical to human rights across the globe and yet because of one last election we're very close to doing away with innocent until
3:38 am
proven guilty think pieces and panels washed ashore today as the miller investigation close in the report submitted to the department of justice according to a summary of the miller report released by attorney general bill barr the special counsel issued more than twenty eight hundred subpoenas executed nearly five hundred search warrants obtained more than two hundred thirty orders for communication records issued almost fifty orders authorizing the use of pen registers made thirteen requests to foreign governments for evidence and interviewed approximately five hundred witnesses he also said quote the special counsel recognize that the evidence does modest stablish that the president was involved in an underlying crime related to russian election interference and that while not determinative the absence of such evidence bears upon the president's intent with respect to obstruction and while democrats on the on capitol hill and every armchair legal eagle. crying from the mountain top that we must now fire for the right to read the report it seems that no one has publishers including the washington post already have plans to publish the report by the end of april so hawk watchers if you will
3:39 am
thought this was the end it looks like we're just getting started i'd never get. mixed right now in my emotions because on one hand since two thousand and sixteen you and i have been called traitors and we've been called all of those simply because we question many other journalist glenn greenwald and what we can buy is a bit god and everything we're doing you know we heard it from the there where we've been called all things under the sun for saying hey this doesn't smell right this sounds bogus and that now mr miller i'm so. yeah there is no collusion it's all bogus. i mean you know it's all bogus i mean to show that a bunch of people on a scene were not very smart were not very good at understanding the pretty basics of our law and our jurisprudence and everything else i got and nobody and that's the thing that this was supposed to be about career of collusion with russia and not the paul man afore it as bad
3:40 am
a son likes to represent. that is beside the point of this like i don't care about him that's a private matter for whatever but so the lawsuit i think the lawsuits are a little i think it really is jumping they've gotten so the electronic privacy information center which is a really good group that does a lot of good work they filed a lawsuit in washington federal court demanding the full release of the miller report keep in mind it's all we haven't gotten it's like we just knew about it on friday so what they claim is that the public also has a right to know whether the president on lawfully obstructed any and investigation into russian election interference or related matters so here's the problem that is answered yes you can have obstruction of an investigation into a crime if the crime itself didn't they can't prove that the crime happened you can't arrest a crime if you can't prove that a crime happened there are certain things that have to go on another another crime so anyway they've been for requesting all the wanting to know everything that
3:41 am
mahler's doing and they're like we need it narrower and i'm like give you a lot of finish first but. now they're excited the court is the question is what will the democrats do what will have resistance to i mean look the dems are still holding on the comments made by attorney general deputy attorney general robb rosenstein february that the b.o.j. shouldn't release him for. people not charged with crimes being. represented out of shift the chairman of the house intelligence committee is one of my favorite people i'm concerned that the d.o.j. is signaling they're going to fight the congress when it comes to mueller's underlying evidence ah. oh the nobody's that. by the way i think they're signaling right is this russia under your bed to their winking his twitching i don't know whatever i think what's going to happen next is the g.o.p. is going to move to have a shift taken off the until committee i mean this is the same shift who held up and robbed from the. congress in congressional record
3:42 am
a subject without even verifying its truth are very are going to grassley and by the way we also found out today an interesting thing about lindsey graham so little exam admitted on monday that he told senator john mccain to give the f.b.i. the dossier the infamous dossier which i think is weird i find it really unsettling that wins you graham is essentially kind of throwing a dead guy under the bus and trying to take credit for being the one who told them to do it now at some point everyone from trump to lindsey graham to a mole or whatever everybody along the way everybody needs to stop thinking about themselves and think about what it was like in the ninety's and how many hundreds of millions of dollars were spent just trying to get get bill and get the clintons and how much money was spent how much taxpayer money was wasted on this garbage the ultimately i mean one we've been telling you for the last two years i had to say i told you so but i you know it's not going to i'm told just so. i mean most of the
3:43 am
things so one of the things that really i think there are important to remember is why muller was brought in miller was brought in because there was a crisis of confidence the mayor could be about a crowd crisis of confidence in our leaders so we brought someone else in to independently do this and now what they'll do is turn on him and i don't think that's fair but. as we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the properties cover the facebook and twitter too but your poll shows that are to dot com coming up we take a look back at the twentieth anniversary of the nato bombing of yugoslavia or to for that i would direct you of the state to. watching. officer. had to get up off the ground. down.
3:44 am
heard them on the sounds of fighting in the grown man like wrestling essentially the officer. drew his. wish to go away from the officer. out of his group. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the weapon once missed and then what happened on three swung at the end didn't hit him i never saw any contact with. any kind went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again fifteen feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and he bid on three. join me every socially on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics. i'm showbusiness i'll see that.
3:45 am
bugaboo next time as are financial survival guide. looking forward to. this is what happens to pensions in britain. watched as a report. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the multiple different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in the home field where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising. you. i'm going to talk about football not see or else you can see i was going to go.
3:46 am
back before the clock struck midnight on the twentieth century on march twenty fourth one thousand nine hundred nineteen nato kicked off operation allied force an air campaign that sought to end the ethnic cleansing of albanians in kosovo at the hands of serbian leader slobodan milosevic the nato bombing mission on serbia then yugoslavia lasted for seventy eight days straight until he finally withdrew his forces from kosovo but this so-called humanitarian intervention had its own very on humanitarian consequences the bombing left hundreds of serbian civilians killed and hundreds more wounded and a new doctor. special marking the anniversary of the bombing r.t. correspondent allison heil of it recently took a long hard look back at the nato campaign and the events surrounding it including years i'm just ready to write and. take a listen. like that so let's see if i go when they drop the depleted uranium they
3:47 am
knew that for not thousands not millions but for four point seven billion years there radioactive material would keep killing people in kosovo and metohija. as for me when i first underwent surgery in twenty eleven but i was operated on ten more times since then but all were consequences of the depleted uranium is close to those are places that were bombed with the plated uranium the nato pact has released data about that in my village after all these years and half the village has died of cancer well over fifty percent of people young and old died of cancer and three years ago my mother died of cancer before we continue you might be wondering what exactly is depleted uranium depleted uranium is used for armor plating and armor piercing projectiles is twice as dense as lead it is known to be very effective at destroying armored vehicles including takes when it explodes
3:48 am
however it often leaves a footprint of chemically poisonous and radioactive dust many people believe that this dust causes cancer and birth defects and once it enters the environment it stays there for a very very long time and in fact it's half life is four point five billion years and estimated fifteen tons of g. you were dropped on serbia including cost of all during the nato campaign now by some estimates serbia has become the cancer capital of europe and needles use of d u is being blamed. joining us now is alex mahela vich thank you alex fascinating look back at this twentieth anniversary of this bombing for those who didn't live through it or like to young to remember what was both the political and physical impact of this
3:49 am
bombing at that time back in one thousand and nine well sir i was there for the very beginning of the bombing i used to work for a u.n. agency and i was stationed in the former yugoslavia the impact of the bombing itself and what led up to the bombing was you know there were a multitude of battles and wars going on between what was at one point the socialist federal republic of yugoslavia when that the left part what was left were two states or republics serbia and montenegro they were what was left of yugoslavia the other countries had broken off and that lasted about two thousand and three until it changed its name to serbia and montenegro in two thousand and six that finally fell apart now we have the states of serbia and we have montenegro so this was basically an effort from the very beginning just a fracture or balkanize where better of a word for the country in the balkans the balkan nation and that's exactly what the west managed to do for nato their excuse in one thousand nine hundred nine of going in and bombing was that there was ethnic cleansing ayer to that there was after the
3:50 am
cleansing going on of serbs by ethnic albanians so you know there's a long process i mean we these people have lived in this area through war and this is the opportunity that nato took when they jumped on the situation right away now i do tell in this documentary back in one thousand nine hundred five i was in the most eastern part of croatia with a united nations blue helmet who at that time he told me he said alex i'm learning albanian right now and i'm going to see you back in one thousand nine hundred ninety because of i didn't believe the guy at the time but it was a plan that was way before nine hundred ninety nine that somebody had written down in some weird book and they went through with this plan whatever was going on and on the ground because of all really wasn't necessarily the reason that they went in there but it. was a catalyst or some type of push that they made the excuse to go in there and not only to bomb cause civil but to bomb all of serbia and as you just depleted uranium well that stuff does no borders people are getting sick all the way to croatia from depleted uranium and this is something that's going to haunt this area for
3:51 am
a very long time terrifying. idea that we really don't have a very good sense even years later in the ninety's talk we were all taught about everything from you know land mines and all of a saying. these things that have these long lasting effects i think was interesting and so back in ninety nine march of ninety ninety nine a lot of people believe that the bombing by nato under this umbrella of humanitarian enervated intervention would cause more damage than it would good so twenty years later looking back was that criticism at the time justified. well twenty years looking back you have people dying in all in all parts of the balkans and i mean one one place we're not getting information from depleted uranium is cost of oil itself so the government runs cost civil right now they don't want to speak of this so they don't want to bring this issue up and most likely by by all indicators there's probably more people die in cost of oil from cancer and other
3:52 am
depleted depleted uranium diseases are related diseases than anywhere else in that part of the world it and like i said i mean i was there from the from the first point night one of the bombing fortunately got myself out of there but it just shows you something it shows you what people can do to one another and i witnessed as i saw a tomahawk fly right over my head and the sound and i have to bring this up because i don't people that have been in situations like this we have people that our viewers who have seen war firsthand when you hear the sound of something like that it sounds like lightning hitting but it's something that goes right down into your core into your bones and to this day when i think of that sound i breath away i get nauseous just just thinking about and that is such a small fraction of what these people actually endured i endured one night and i heard to haunt tomahawks hit they endured seventy eight days these are millions of people sitting under a rain of bombs coming down on them and no matter what the situation is that's unjustifiable these are millions of people that were attacking another population
3:53 am
or that were doing something i don't know that was that was evil to anyone there people like the albanians in kosovo like the serbs like the croats like the bosnians leader people that wanted to live normal lives and to be able to bring up their chat that was not allowed for these people that was taken away from them from the very beginning of this war prior to cause so even happening and you know witnessing that yourself i think we all need to put ourselves in our shoes or then their shoes just for a moment to realize this isn't the way to get things solved there's much better ways and usually diplomacy is probably the path that we should and should want to take at all times couldn't couldn't there are a few more immigrants in more alex vale of age thank you so much for coming. thank you for putting out this group and helping us remember the twentieth anniversary of the bombing of kosovo and serbia thank you so much thank you. venezuelan president nicolas maduro and his u.s. backed challenger to the presidency wanted weibo exchanged barbs and victory back declarations over the weekend or watchers why go to clear that they were durable
