military super expensive high tech non commercial grade military grade bad but drones i wonder how the navy would handle that if they were and if they were in his place yes in the latest drone news for mr creme's trial it appears that the us government in a motion to dismiss the trial is trying to rewrite the constitution and burn down our right to due process by arguing that mr kareem's due process rights would be satisfied simply by allowing him to present evidence that he has been wrongly placed on the government kill list and that the government was under no obligation to respond to him no obligation to respond. that's like so hey you know maybe we're targeting you maybe we're not but you don't have the right to know but you can ask but we're not really going to tell you even if you do but you have the right to ask. but burns it's that level of smug superiority by the u.s. government that encourages us to always be watching the hawks. what

would you agree that the. real that this would be. as it were to pull out of. the day like you said i got. with. the. water when the watching the i robot and. if you need to remain competitive i'm really tired of like the military using this this these words and all of a this of an ocular of a corporation as if they're out there you know we've got to keep a competitive advantage on the market. it's not a competition heroes are supposed to be you know to save lives and those are to

take her shot so this isn't exactly it i mean this all stems from reports that terrorists have been using you know we're trying to take people out with it that happened with us or i mean i'm going to i haven't seen that movie really were that would have been on on you know at least one of the big three i really this would've been a bigger deal of a terrorist and strapped a bomb or is this just another one of those things that we've all seen since desert storm since oklahoma city since the first nine eleven or the first world trade center bombing to nine eleven is this really just more of that oh well there might be more you might put it. it's you know might be in your lip. that all of us i prefer to appreciate this the digital service service color drone project was called german or so after the main character from the star wars. where they were paying attention to the plight of you. i think when she was on the rebels fighting

against the evil giant empire him she would be considered. the other anyway freedom fighter. what would saleratus is there they've been trying to lead their fear of drones for a while though. they aren't sharks heads but it isn't the first and this isn't the first time they've kind of that the navy's been excited been wanting to get involved in this whole you know way to protect ships from supposedly swarms of small drones so in twenty fourteen i know where they're coming from but you know in the reporting the navy deployed what was called a thirty kilo watt laser it was called x. and one. was aboard was the u.s. it was aboard the in fifty s transport ponts in the persian gulf so the navy's sort of lab of this idea fending off enemy drone swarms with a laser that costs about a dollar every time you shoot it as opposed to seven hundred fifty thousand dollars

per missile especially if you're saying to you know it's there it's very cost effective i'm really excited about this so the navy one bought two more of the lasers at one hundred fifty million dollars each. and they're not even scheduled to be deployed until twenty two so they're low cost effective to take saw about a dollar we don't want to be spending seven hundred fifty thousand dollars on a missile so we're going to go out and buy three hundred million dollars worth of lasers. save the money that seven hundred fifty but i was and i just wonder if like yours in the think we're trying to catch carry not herding cats here we're trying to save lives right out of the laser is the bow but this does come back at the end of the day we would be switching gears over to karim in the journalists american journals american citizen who we talked about that last summer with be on the show you know we talked about how you know this is a guy he's controversial for his coverage and what you covered in syria right and you go use it was a he was doing work for the mainstream he was doing or for very corporate

mainstream c.n.n. and that and then c.n.n. kind of threw him under the bus point over something so yeah you know and so basically i want to read you what his defense team is kind of his response to the u.s. government's arguments basically to dismiss by saying hey all he had the right to complain that doesn't mean we have the right to show more secrets because if we show our secrets and put the world danger except he's an american citizen you potentially are targeting him he might be on the drone kill list that's a big deal that's due process you're ignoring. the u.s. government's argument reprieves jennifer gibson co-counsel for mr creme stated quote the government's assertion that it has the right to market some citizens for death based on secret information without affording them the legal protections offered by the constitution is chilling denying mr creme his right to meaningful due process in the grounds of national security would set a dangerous and terrifying process and i could not agree more going.

in a five four decision that is being called barbaric by death penalty opponents the u.s. supreme court ruled that the missouri death row inmate russell buckley who can be executed despite underlying medical issues buckley it wasn't that convicted in one thousand nine hundred six of slaying his in the one thousand nine hundred six lang of his ex-girlfriends partner michael sanders he was also convicted of kidnapping rape and stalking buffalo who was sentenced to the death penalty has a condition. called cavernous man gianni mom he contends that if given a lethal injection the tumor in his throat which is from this condition would burst causing and choke on his own blood his case to the skin went to the supreme court at what it did is centered on his eighth amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment attorneys for the state john sauer argued that ruling in favor of baku could make it easier for others to skirt the death penalty. not want to be able to seek a de facto exemption from the death penalty or. certain people from the death penalty

the mentally ill the incompetent people who are young. we haven't seen that are supposed to the death penalty we see it as as an as applied exemption to killer person who are individual for whom this method is cruel and unusual. robert hope enter turny for russell buckley make clear this wasn't an argument against the death penalty but the math that. you have prior rulings of this court that make clear that the constitution in general does not define death the death penalty as cruel and so there has to be a way to carry out this claim about this individual person doesn't call into question at all. and today justice neal gore sic stated in the supreme court's decision that. about buckley that the eighth amendment does not guarantee

a prisoner a painless death so hot water is when the highest court in the land feels the need to defend the state's right to kill are we trading life for the able or safety. move out of that is a tough one that's a tough tough call and you know i want to we got to step back of our i want to first look at like you know who voted for and who voted against this because this is a controversial but the majority is chief justice john g. roberts just as clarence thomas senator alito brett kavanaugh you know basically also a very positive servant of all the conservative judges dissenting you had sort of my or. just a good burger. who has continued to then justice breyer was also as well on that side so you know that's basically wow this kind of shaped but it's interesting when you look at you know the arguments that this is because of the big argument is was this torture was this an exciting extraneous amount of torture that was put on the

scope right so right and one of the issues is that this wasn't this wasn't a. case about sort of the broader issues of the use of lethal injection and it wasn't even a broader issue of just lethal injection and it's specific or the death penalty. if you watch this show you know it's like no we should be really having this conversation like in my and there are a lot of our opinions as this is just silly to begin with we shouldn't it's just so cruel and barbaric but what it's doing is it's challenging the methods in relation to that exit particular prisoner. as sort of my you are pointed out we do make exceptions we make exceptions when someone is incapable mentally of really understand the gravity or really understanding the gravity of being killed. and what he did the issue that became really for even for core sick i don't consider this like a meter conservative decision it's more like technicalities so what it was was he

had to come up with an alternative and he had any alternative to pick from that's available but he chose one at least as a legal team dead that is not been has never been used in many states and pointed out i mean we don't know how the. you know now this and what he wanted so when he wanted to. choose the method of his dad and we wanted to do was have a gas mask mask put on and he wouldn't help here nitrogen through it until he died now here is the problem with that is there's no real way of knowing and no medical information or anybody who can say that that will actually be a less of a risk for him that this tumor my burst or all of that i mean you know at the end it's that so it's kind of like could have been easier to just suck blood rather than pick this other method he could have just said like look just like ten. years later there is a hero going to the firing squad that he could have made that it might have actually been they might have gone with the right maybe that's the idea i mean they

would have you know and it was you know and looking like how things were how they sort of went out it was very down party lines and you know we have five conservatives and four. liberals and liberals and so what you ended up having was something that was very much on the side of conservatives like go there so make people not murder people right which is never been proven to ever be the never been a deterrent for them but i think you know in the caribbean who is well known in her fight against the death penalty he said of this case today the courts often hide behind legally is to avoid the real world consequences of their decisions and that's what this is it's that there are go well you know we don't have a you don't have a right to do this in the words or like. it's still about life and still about all right as we go to break off watchers don't forget the other so what do you think of this offer to cover the facebook and twitter sphere of those shows at r t v dot com coming up watchdog social media producer brings us the latest new merit of being

pushed or pushed about the internet that is way lower than our t.v. or national correspondent chris burns was a new wrinkle in the controversy surrounding the go by state to her watch. join me every thursday on the all excited i'm sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. there was a crackdown seems to do crack when i was a look in my day he was like oh must be so you know a guy like what i needed when i was a baby boy i had

a bad childhood. there's always playing single mothers and african-american community service and slavery. i think it's more of these teenagers having kids in you can expect a fourteen or fifteen year old first daughter now order for him to be a father and he's a checkout. we actually lost our place in october my car and breaking down and i was unable to get to work on time so they let me go in with my paycheck that i bring home i have nearly enough to pay my car insurance . gas in my car. people in america have no money. and yet and house prices are

skyrocketing relative to their wages but the government says that's not inflation health care costs are galloping ahead ten or fifteen percent a year influx. garbus says that's not infinite. in other words there is. a concerted and decided. to work for. the united states. in the world of information superhighway overload it's nice to have a little help in the high speed wilderness ones and zeros and trolls one getting to

cut through all the noise to find the facts so we here i thankfully have our brilliant social media producer kevin springer help us navigate the internet of things and find the stories that are buried behind and between the lines and this week one narrative about venezuela seems to be propaganda fighting and plain sight thank you welcome very joined here. thank you for joining us for you know calling me brilliant i love the yes i know you are because we subjected to torture every day you know what i'm going to the internet i make you go but this is a fascinating story that you brought to our attention and there's a video i guess from the new york times that's going viral right now and claims to explain what is actually happening in venezuela but you file that there are some history of the person that made the video that the new york times accidentally on purpose probably i don't know the whole left out of her bio in presenting her opinion of this yeah so essentially the new york times opinion section they also did a video pieces now with like different journalist and the loggers and stuff so they

published a piece by a drawn out houseman who is a venezuelan american who in the video is essentially openly calling for regime change u.s. regime change. ministerial without outwardly saying it she even goes so far as i say that there is total chaos and it's way learned that my dear as a violence or random call dictator you can see sort of images that they use in the video shoot she is compiling like videos and images from protest and she is sort of trying to very creatively you know kind of subvert a lot of the popular quote unquote hands off in this way with that's been happening right now you just saw folks who was out people like bernie sanders. was also fascinating talks a lot about election fraud however we know from dan koval who's been on the show and the thousands of sort of election auditors around the world that it was like an example of what good elections could be i think we actually have

a quick video to show the viewers actually what the video looks like. some pundits of the left claim venezuela is economic ruin because of u.s. sanctions but they are wrong in this one is economy completely collapsed in twenty sixteen after decades of corruption incompetence of chavis and a little snorkel kleptocratic governments. right so those are some pretty harsh words that are actually off that show a couple of not completely true but what's fascinating about john houseman is her family and her specific times to venezuela so i want to just go through a quick and show why it's important to know that new york times did not disclose this information so first as her father ricardo hausmann he's the author of this piece called do you dave in a slayer which is really eerie and even into november two thousand and eighteen he actually kind of predicted the exact day that it was going to claim power and started the coup he also was a mint sorts of. a large leader in the opposition and then on top of that he's an

i.m.f. economist so she's not bias at all right. then he gets on her mother on a holy god who worked for a group called sue month. so want to is actually founded by the. national endowment for democracy which as we've talked about on this show before is funded by the u.s. by essentially the cia and the u.s. military regime change around the world. blumenthal has done great work sort of exposing that then finally there is her own brother leo i thought who was a lawyer and businessman who was actually currently serving a prison sentence for extortion and financial crimes against the government who at the time of his arrest was found with twenty five thousand u.s. dollars and a plan for a terrorist attack in venezuela and then gets a job so why would the new york times not disclose these ties to her family she is clearly a biased source of the biased opinion just as views are going to boil over that's

when also there's something sort of jumps out at you when you see the difference between the people who seem to be mature on this people seem to kwaito and i can't quite put my finger on it but i think it's there. they've got to be more on the european and i say that and what for a it's a car you call the sort of poor and. i think it's pretty obvious anyway and it's like i'd ask you you know why do you think they did the new york times that obvious say like why would they but i guess you know standards of yeah i mean there's no we don't really do that anymore any and i don't drag there's no way that such a large respect at least formerly respected in my opening they're losing a lot of respect lately but i would like new york times wouldn't know this already and know that under the rules of journalistic integrity which we practice on the show every day you disclose this kind of information so if they didn't send me a has to be intentional as there is no other way around it and like you said the opposition is majority why blonde hair blue eyes well thank you so much for

bringing us the latest going to conversely making waves will be going to. be a producer. of. former vice president joe biden is back in the headlines. again but not for what you think hawk watchers you see while the world has rightfully been examining and calling out the former president's rather hands the approach when standing next to women and girls and photo ops mr biden has also been catching fire over a rather curious role the firing of a former top prosecutor in the country of ukraine joining us now with these stories are t. international correspondent caleb mopp and thank you so much for coming on today caleb's pleasure to have you sure a pleasure to be here caleb look biden back in february twenty fourth team was named by the obama administration is kind of the point person on ukraine when all the troubles and things like that were happening there which is a pretty you know it's pretty contentious time to be overseeing that part of the world in the united states' relationship to it caleb what exactly are the accusations coming out now from ukraine about mr biden is being accused of.

well it's widely known that joe biden son hunter biden is heavily invested in bristol holdings and that's the largest non-governmental natural gas company in ukraine and back in two thousand and fourteen that raised some eyebrows and it raise some more eyebrows when joe biden visited ukraine in april of two thousand and fourteen and basically told them to stop relying on so many natural gas imports from russia but now the latest is that we at this point have video from one joe biden was speaking at the council on foreign relations last year and in that video he brags about getting the general prosecutor of ukraine fired he says there was some money that was going to ukraine and he called him up and he does this whole you know his joe biden working class tough guy thing and he says you know i told him that unless that guy was fired the money would go away he got the general prosecutor of ukraine fired he brags about this well what it turns out is this prosecutor this general prosecutor of ukraine joe biden brags about getting fired

was investigating his son's company on three different counts the general prosecutor was actually investigating this the brits my holdings the company the joe biden son is heavily invested in so people look at that and they say whoa that kind of reeks reeks of a conflict of interest but it gets to a bigger issue which is at this point russia's economy is centered around selling oil and natural gas in the international markets they've got two state controlled corporations they are gazprom and ross nafta and every ounce of oil and gas that russia sells is oil and gas that somebody is not buying from b.p. from exxon mobil from wall street in london based on natural gas and oil corporations and the energy markets have a lot to do with the geo political tension that is going on there's a big incentive for wall street in london energy corporations to push russia out of the market. you know it's not as if by doesn't have enough aside from being

a two time loser in the primaries and going out for a third time is running for president do you think this could be an issue for him as he gets them once eventually actually says i'm running and. you could be an issue for having the. well the crazy thing is you know joe biden just like his proclivities with women he does this out in the open he doesn't try to cover it up he's sitting there in the meeting basically saying that he got the wouldn't get the money unless the guy was fired but what's more interesting is where was joe biden speaking he was speaking at the council on foreign relations one of the most powerful think tanks in washington d.c. that's basically where u.s. foreign policy is thought up and i actually have here in my hand the list of funders of the council on foreign relations the institute that is thinking of u.s. foreign policy they think it up at the council on foreign relations and the cia and the pentagon carry it out and this is like a laundry list of powerful corporations the rockefeller's boeing the carlyle group

i mean this is who is writing foreign policy and this is where joe biden is lecturing the world about corruption. was a very good point. if i go as i reckon great report on this keep up the great work go. and we'd love to have you back on a good story but it was great we're looking up this story. always a pleasure. sweden loves wood and scientific theory of the royal institute of technology. and commerce university of technology and the wallenberg woods science center have found a way to create everything from windows to bulletproof vests. from wood by using nanotechnology they were able to extract water which makes up about half of the volume of wood pulp the cellulose fibers of the pulp are what makes trees strong and that can be extracted to create manno materials by separating every single wood fiber those wood fibers are divided then forty million times or more with that

material if only agent has added and they can create what they call cellophane that phone could be used to make shipping materials burris even save the foam for the inside of bicycle helmets like you see and the more the wood is process the stronger it gets a and when they used it recently to create transparent glass for windows the wood composite actually serves serves to trap and release heat natural thermal processes you know from the trees that give us the air we breathe and alternative to the plastic that's choking us i say i'm i'm all excited about what they are that's really no one knows what windows forty millions are that's really cool and i love while it professed a stronger and stronger the more you divide us the stronger we got at least by the way that's really. good while i'm blown away by the never never saw that come with the wright brothers are so pretty today everyone remembers in this world we are

told we are not told that we are love that of sorts all the while i love you i am i roll them to the top of the wall and people are watching all those hawks out there and over great day and night everybody. loose their kids are told this is you and you it is the first with the worst were just finished for the. others will. let you listen to this who are doing. i think if it was national guard coming off the. top of the libya. which are going to push me.

to. school board of these critics one of the least most of them you'd be new to lose because they've been. pushing into a wife to be smeared. all over the city of new moves. to pull someone to be renewed because of the floods to let you know it's a few. young elephants have come to us. especially brutal budgeting incidents because sadly the baby elephants often do see their mothers be killed but also. i do believe smile i see it in these little ones they hold they should express some changes.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for them to let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful at very critical times to sit down and talk. to. us veterans who come back from war. stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians. they were not interested in the well being of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the search that says we're going to attack and destroy the government in seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with them money others with

their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war and surely we can risk some discomfort easiness for. nato mark seventy years but the alliances birthday bash as marred by members

feuding over budget contributions and purchases of russian weapons. ethnic communities being massacred despite a french and u.s. troop presence. and a rights activist claims western visitors to iran donahue job think they undermine efforts to abolish the law requiring women to where the head covering are just debate the issue. i think it's i think it's ridiculous i think asking women to come in when they come into a country to justice and way inside iran there's a rule and there's a.
