8:09 pm
some expert editing thoughtful repackaging angling for at least a couple of sequels before the twenty twenty alexion takeover i have called on the house to initiate impeachment proceedings this is an invitation to congress to say you can do it using the impeachment power we want to remove him from office by gaining back our democracy and electing a democrat president you know i wouldn't support it. you know i don't think with the elections coming up we'll have an opportunity to voice what we want to happen the next four years would not mind him to be impeached because it would destroy the people. and it wouldn't do any good i don't think it would necessarily be good for keeping the country more unified there's a big partisan divide but with more news just after this short break.

the housing crisis was the result of securitizing mortgages that were resold to dozens of times and then like goldman sachs was betting answer all clients and they were engaged in massive fraud again bailed out by timothy geithner his friends and now they can't go of that controlled demolition of the housing market is that all the housing is concentrated in a few as like blackstone as a gift from their friends of the central banks and the result is medieval. shows seem wrong. but old quotes just don't hold. any new gold that is yet to shape out these days to come to add to it and in gains from it equals

betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back to the program the sri lankan government supposed joys to failing to act on warnings from foreign intelligence agencies that the country was facing the possibility of attacks on churches their mission comes a day after a spate of bombings left nearly three hundred people dead on easter sunday officials also said they believe that the islamist group allegedly behind the atrocity received support from abroad we do not believe these attacks were carried
8:12 pm
out by a group of people who are confined to this country there was an international network without which these attacks could not have succeeded on monday there was a further explosion in the capital colombo special forces had been trying to defuse explosives in a van used by the attackers it's not yet clear whether anyone was hurt. but we heard a loud bang and we fainted that's all i remember we heard a loud explosion and everything collapsed we managed to protect the children but when i came here i found out that my son in law and my son had died.
8:13 pm
i wish to express my heartfelt solidarity with the christian community affected one it was a prayer and with all the victims of such cruel violence. didn't hear any conflicts conflicts in this peaceful island however there was a warning issued by the national chief of police. days ago and this negligence show that. this warden if taken into account and taken seriously all those casualties would have been avoided this is
8:14 pm
a national disaster because this scale i mean if you look at the map and the locations of the hotel and the church shoes in eight places eight places. and today they declared the police declared seventy eight this ignited bombs were found this is a lot this is a national catastrophe. an alleged member of a far right militia group has been detaining migrants at gunpoint near the u.s. border with mexico has made a first appearance in a federal court larry mitchell hopkins was arrested on saturday by the f.b.i. that was over allegations he's a convicted felon in possession of firearms and ammunition the agency also claims he previously planned the assassination of barack obama hillary clinton and billionaire george soros has been alleged that hopkins was part of
8:15 pm
a group called the united constitutional patriots said to be predominantly composed of military veterans armed with guns and tactical gear and operates in new mexico claimed its mission is to help border patrol guards protect the united states in the past week alone it's detained more than three hundred migrants. they're still counting this is crazy live from straight here in base camp. that. another group claims it's done nothing wrong and that there's a crisis at the border its actions however have provoked widespread outrage regular citizens have no authority to arrest or detain anyone this is reduce should not attempt to authority results for law enforcement we do not condone proven groups that take in force went into their own hands interference by civilians in law enforcement could have safety and legal consequences their actions undermine
8:16 pm
the efforts of our state to keep new mexico families safe this is no place in our state we cannot allow a racist armed to the july to kidnap people sick in the silent. let's cross live our international affairs expert george some wally and political analyst dave perkins gentlemen thanks both for coming on today great to have you on the program george if i can start with you perhaps i see footage here in front of me of women and children being detained at gunpoint in the dark by a man who got upset at your thora to be doing so have been condemned by the very state authorities they say they're trying to help how is this a situation that's to be encouraged or defended him anyway. well it all miss it can be courage then defend it on the other hand it is an understandable response to an unacceptable situation. in the at the moment there are
8:17 pm
one hundred thousand apprehensions a month on the southern border that's just apprehensions and that prevention is or was only about fifty percent of the total numbers who are crossing the border so you can under a thousand are being apprehended there hundred thousand or just crossing illegally . and it's naive to believe that the native population would just simply accept this massive flow of people essentially their replacement as they see it and do nothing about it i mean this is a response. that was always like if you happen it's undesirable but if so it should weaken the us the fact that the law enforcement authorities are not doing the job that they are supposed to do. they said my new dog has a crisis on the border with the amount of. police.
8:18 pm
these people have a right to have a right to assembly and have a right to make the rest so why do you think people are getting so bored about this well i don't think everyone is worried about it i think we need to very carefully divorce the issue of border security from the issue of. multiple felony and bizarre nut case who really ought to be kept away from decent people on whatever grounds they can manage and you'll notice when they arrested him they did not charge him with illegally using citizen authority to detain people at the border because it isn't illegal you're right he does have the right to make a citizen's arrest and i think we separate hopkins' from the issue and ask ourselves what is really being done that's wrong and the first thing that is being done is people who don't have permission or right to cross the border are crossing the border and doing so in sufficient numbers as to present not to long term vision
8:19 pm
for a thoughtful people culture in america so destabilized that we end up needing strong men sort of government to control it and that's what the left wing does they're trying to usher lots and lots of millions and millions by the way the federal government recently altered its its count of illegal aliens living in america from eleven million to twenty three million when they reluctantly bumped the number up to more than double all that tells me it's much larger than that at a certain point there will be enough illegal aliens here that the cuban cry will go up to stop treating them cruelly as second levels citizens they deserve rights they're here they're working all they want is a good life for their family we should give them citizenship and the vote and once they get to vote course they're not from a country with a constitution and liberty and history that america has they're from more or less authoritarian government countries and that's what they expect and that's what they will vote for because the democrats. they're the ones that encourage him to come here with all this talk of sanctuary cities and all this fighting donald trump's
8:20 pm
effort to do his constitutional duty to control immigration and protect the borders the declaration of independence features more than once the kind of language that makes you understand where citizens stand against the federal government that is if it does not protect us if it doesn't give us safety security and peace so that we can live our lives free of government the best way we can manage our own then we have the right in one place that even says we have the duty to alter and abolish it and put in one that suits us and better and i think this idea of citizens protecting the border is just sort of a halfway step towards altering or abolishing government by at least ending up and doing the job government should be doing but markedly clearly loudly is not doing because they feel opposite from the way the citizens feel about the issue didn't die knowing that laurie that. you know i think you know i agree with pretty much everything that. david has said we do have to separate.
8:21 pm
citizens essentially trying to help the border patrol and by the border patrol agents have been saying that we rely on citizens were not members of the border patrol to help us so we've got to separate that from the personality of hopkins who is clearly a felon that many you know he's a felon and you know he is obviously commit. serious offenses and the people who are crossing the border are crossing the border it illegally i mean it's you know you can't just simply break into a country and all and you know there's a lot of talk about oh they're seeking asylum but there is a international law is very specific about asylum which is possible you apply for asylum in the first country you come to you don't go shopping when i think i like this one tree more than the. in other countries i'll go to the white rose silent no
8:22 pm
i mean these are people like in central america the quiet for asylum in mexico that's the first one to make them take on has offered a way to the next thing i don't know why. do these thousands of people and they're refusing asylum and continuing on in fact there are nine u.s. consulates strong along the mexican border with with texas on the south and at any point they're within they're within fifty miles or one hundred miles of a u.s. consulate where they could go and apply for asylum without crossing the united states border have their case adjudicated by america within the confines of the u.s. consulate in mexico without illegally crossing and making criminals of themselves making targets of themselves for american law enforcement to have to go and intercept they could do it legally every step of the way there are consulates further south in mexico also it's not necessary to come here and step across the border in order to get an asylum claim considered very much comfort and ease is
8:23 pm
given to them to do that without crossing the united states borders so my problem with the whole issue is is that. needs to do it they're being encouraged to do it by the left by the democrat party in america it's political and it's with an eye towards gaining power by winning future elections and because of that it's not at all as they put it it's not compassion it's not in the best interest of the people they're luring here it's very deceitful and very bad for those people and they suffer and american citizens suffer also with excessive crime and excessive presence of people who don't belong here and behave badly to avoid being caught it's all a big circus and it's completely unnecessary and it's driven by the democrat party for political purposes and people have to realize that and it has to happen in the case of this story today that being a number of rather hysterical articles published in there is needed. those one on the n.b.c. site. because it's
8:24 pm
a way of changing the subject suddenly bring up militia people start getting nervous oh my god we've got some kind of right wing militia and then they remember the oklahoma city bombing from one thousand nine hundred five they remember all the mission militia crane's of the one nine hundred ninety s. and then there's the ku klux klan and it's done very deliberately i mean it's this is while being wildly exaggerate as a way of changing the subject so the subject isn't well we had basically the border is out of control no the subject is that there is the danger is not cases running around with guns terrifying ordinary law abiding people the very little has been reduced in america the political case against the right against conservatives has been reduced to racist sexist bigot homophobe and what suits them on the border is racist because a plane coming in are darker skinned people and we are in some way we are going to stand here gentlemen i think i think people can agree that there's two separate
8:25 pm
issues here with one of the leaders being arrested with the cross the border control they are separate things here but i mean george said he said the story is being changed in exaggerated and people are getting worried i mean people have a right and so we wore it i think everyone acknowledges there is issues to deal with at the border to deal with in a structured way within the legal frameworks of the u.s. constitution of cetera but to have people wandering around with guns taking matters into their own hands the the state authorities themselves said there is potential safety consequences here anything could happen people could get hurt people could get shot how is this case the war about. well there might be but so far from what we owe the scene they haven't really done anything terrible i mean all they've done is they've apprehended people crossing the border illegally and then having apprehended they called in the professional of the border patrol so using these very emotional words like abduction kidnapping detention are
8:26 pm
simply isn't true i mean they've just simply they apprehended them and immediately called in the proper law enforcement authorities to take them in so you know their whole you know you know you might be in some point origin truck for george we are we're out of time i do have to stop you there but when i get back to you both just a little later international affairs expert george somewhere in a political analyst david perkins thanks both for coming on the program today thank you thank you very much all for the south join us again in thirty minutes for the latest global news updates. montes khalid al hunt ten international memorial awards twenty nineteen are now open for entries. media professionals are eligible whether you are a freelance journalist work full terms of media or part of a global news platform to participate sunday published works in video. go to
