exchange for u.s. support for killing of artie's eagles dawn of takes a look at the democrats his obsession with impeachment. democrats have always seen impeachment as donald trump's kryptonite a swift and effective way of ending his political life and they've been promising to pull that switch since he got in office the walls feel like they're closing in on the truth of the sure issue right now and i'm not sure they could hold them off for much longer the walls are closing in and everyone is freaking out the walls are closing the wheels are coming off. the walls are closing in on president trump the walls are closing it will trouble the walls are closing in on the trump white house . all of the walls are closing in at this point the walls are closing in fast and on 3 talked about it so much in fact it almost became too much some would have been forgiven for thinking it was all bark and no bite yet this week to the surprise of

some and delight of others house speaker nancy pelosi announced that they're pushing the red button the actions of the trump presidency reveal which just sounded more fact of the president's betrayal of his oath of office betrayal of our national security and the trail of the integrity of our elections therefore today announcing the house of representatives moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry the launching of the inquiry signals the very start of the proceedings that could eventually end up with impeachment and even trump losing office so what was that thing that was convincing enough for the democrats to finally buckle up take a deep breath and say. an anonymous whistleblower sounded an alarm with the national intelligence over donald trump's conversation with the ukrainian president . during the conversation trump suggested that his counterpart investigate his most

likely rival in the 2020 election joe biden and his son hunter over their business in ukraine. apparently as vice president at the time biden sr might have blackmailed the previous ukrainian administration into closing a corruption investigation into a gas company his son had an executive role that i so you know i get the 1000000000 i'm going to leave in a year i think it was about 6 hours i looked as it really is 6 hours of the prosecutors not fired you're not getting the money or son of a. you're fired trump seems to be in all sorts of trouble following palosi is announcement is openly accused of extortion as well as of asking a foreign state to meddle in america's presidential election sounds familiar nobody knows for sure though what exactly trump's words were but the democrats put all their trust in that whistleblower expecting

a bombshell collusion story and then trump releases the transcript there's a lot of talk about biden's son that biden stop the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do would be great biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it it sounds horrible to me. the issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and move work on the investigation of the case i would kindly ask if you have any additional information that you can provide to us it would be very helpful from the investigation no matter what side you're on that was hardly a bombshell a firecracker a best it gets rough for both camps the transcripts not word for word but rather a recollection of events by witnesses it's vague to the point of a rorschach test anyone can interpret it the way they want to and so they do like any mafia boss the president didn't need to say that's

a nice country you have it be a shame if something happened to it because that was clear from the conversation there is no quid pro quo necessary to betray your country or your oath of office even though many read this as a quid pro quo i'm not concerned whether it is a quid pro quo or not now every side's got a lot at stake in this game but it's the democrats who have gone all in there's no way back and normal chips in the bank the impeachment bazooka can fire only one round so they apply the whole arsenal of political stunts in this video for instance democrat adam schiff is giving a monster clause in reading between the lines in the transcript that everyone's seen want you to make up dirt on my political potent understand lots of it. on this and on that and by the way don't call me again i'll call you when you've done what i asked and sure enough there was no way in hell hillary clinton the person with

the biggest bone to pick with trump could have remained a bystander in this this argument occupant of the oval office poses a clear and present danger to our future to our democracy is endangered by putting his personal and political interests ahead of the interests of the american people as for the woman who announced the impeachment in the 1st place she seemed keen to invoke the memory of the russia saga and the hysteria that went with it as we saw with the russian interference and by the way i think russia has a hand in this by the way democrats have backed themselves into a corner and the power the impeachment will follow as of now is a make or break situation we spoke to a political writer who thinks the democrats are clutching at straws in that desperation. the democrats are desperate. they are terrified of losing the election joe biden. is a disaster as

a candidate if if he is the nominee who i'm almost certain he will lose to trump and the democrats are hoping to bring trump down through this whole impeachment process is the idea of. finding a scandal and running around hysterically where 'd there really is no criminal offense so they're hoping to bring trump down but i just can't imagine it will work . its way through a fresh wave of global climate protests including in canada where thousands took to the streets in cities across the country among those taking part in the rally in montreal with the canadian prime minister and teen activists question a fun bug at a meeting between the 2 justin trudeau to do more to save the planet is on monday threatened by delivered an impassioned address to the un climate action summit this week his campaign there would be its world leaders for failing to tackle the destruction of the biosphere. you have still live my dream speech my childhood

which you were and. yet i'm one of the jocks once. people are suffering people are dying entire school systems are collapsing we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is the money and fairytales of each term economic growth how dare you. 6 to invoke also scowled at donald trump when they almost crossed paths with the us president paid 0 attention to the headline grabbing climate activist she then left the room accompanied by security guards while trying went to attend a meeting on religious freedom. or she's been widely praised for her impassioned address there are those who say she's leading a cult for the younger generation looks at the thin line between activism and fanaticism. the thing with climate change is it's called deligated we don't fully

understand it ourselves we know it's happening we know some of the reasons but it's all tenuous and the guys who have the best grasp of it scientists and always easy to understand but that's why mother nature gave us climate change activists no need for his meteorology degree there. are many activists it isn't about science or facts policy or debate it's faith but lief and something greater something they don't necessarily understand caught explain and boom comprehend like the judeo christian religion and the world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change we face catastrophe

and crisis on this planet climate change but the is not something that we have to prepare for it is something that is here you know there's a word for that the in a feeling that the world is about to end that armageddon is around the corner schooled eschatology and it formed the basis of early christian dogma but the day of the lord will come as a thief in the night in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise and the elements will melt with fervent heat both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up we should be grateful to climate change activists trying to save our unworthy polluted souls save us from judgment day and as with any faith they have a prophet for that you need a college. jesus didn't have a university degree now the lord of climate stability has sent us his

daughter we are not in school today. and this time we are not alone we have some adults one i work today either. the it and why because this is an emergency our house is on fire faith is for everyone the rich and the poor all genders races and ages this is a hooley crusade and anyone old enough to hold a protest side or throw a rock concert of the holy spirit of the atmosphere.

brings a tear to my eyes it's exactly like the crusade of the year 1212 when thousands of european children joined up to liberate the holy land of course none of them got that many died along the way but c'mon it's kids doing stuff spies everybody plus it makes the heretics look bad oh yeah like with any willage it there are heretics those who refuse to acknowledge god or whatever you believe in they have a name in this faith climate change deniers there's no middle ground either if you're a skeptic you are a denial and climate change deniers a dirty trashy folk the sort who are going to rule. in the hell where the lights stay on even when nobody's home climate change deniers are

a danger to our security the gloves are off predatory climate deniers are threat to our children the depravity of climate change denial it sure looks like climate change is the new 21st century dogma overthe god been through to you we in the media we want to save your soul if you already think we're we're going to church while online church just open your internet browser and go to n b c dot com confers their concerts my children confess your sins cleanse your polluted sols seriously the they've got a clone with confessions page that tell me this isn't the full blown religion. children's toys were in the crosshairs tuesday as the french government signed an

agreement to combat gender stereotypes trying to ensure toy makers and sellers don't automatically push jones for girls and cars for boys the new directive seeks to attract more girls towards science activities stating that gender divisions in stores are a thing of the past and should be scrapped before christmas the aim they say is to broaden children's imaginations that they're not influenced by stereotypes as they grow up. reality into words and the creation of and also how they are represented in advertisement and the way they are sold fighting discrimination later on requires action right from the very 1st days now while some are welcoming the move out those claim is a form of gender engineering here's what our guest said on the topic. it's really good because they want to put an end to gender death toll ways they want to give the freedom to children to choose whatever they want to so we're not forcing boys

to play with dolls if they don't want to of course and girl again they can play with adult all and then they can play with other stuff are related to too in a computer science maybe other things that actually will be an incentive to women to troops on the subjects in the university a psychology professor in cambridge university simon baron cohen has shown that as early as several days after birth female babies show an interest in faces whereas male babies typically show an interest in mechanical items so there's some hard wiring that the idea that somehow you can to change society by but by by forcing boys to play with dolls and girls play with trucks. is an absolute it's ludicrous bills and boys are different men and women are difference and there is no problem to be fixed. coming out when imaginary villain from a hollywood film takes on an all too real for us military is warning that screening

is at the new joke a film could end in a bloodbath or louts after this break. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

welcome back a cinema chain in the u.s. has bound moviegoers from wearing costumes mosques and face paint during screenings of the new joker film and its theaters just a week before the premiere. just years joker.

with a bang comes amid fears of possible violence during screenings concerns were raised by families of victims of a mass shooting at a batman movie back in 2012 when doesn't own a dozen people were killed but then there were claims that the killer may have been inspired by the joker character the studio distances self from the violence denying that the dark knight rises movie influence the perpetrators actions the latest release won't be shown at the venue in colorado where the massacre happened well earlier this week the u.s. military issued warnings to its service members about a mass shooting threat to show wings off the jerk a film that's off the intelligence officers discovered several worrying post song line. bruce and social media have made reference to interests old but extremists replicating the 2012 theater shooting in the rural killer screenings of

the joker movie a nationwide theaters this presents a potential risk to department of defense personnel and family members though there are no known specific credible threats to the opening of the joke on the 4th of october so the threat to parity comes from the so-called insult community this is an online group consisting of men who describe themselves as involuntary celibates and they play into society for their failure to find a sexual or romantic partner with some even promoting violence as a form of revenge todd phillips the director of the joker and movie has rebuffed claims that this film may provoke violence saying critics simply don't know what they're talking about. it's a little troubling when people write think pieces without having seen it and even in their think piece is right i don't need to see it to know what it is to me that's you know i find it astounding to be quite frank how easily the far left can sound like the far right when it suits their agenda i think the reason for that is

is somewhat hypocritical the concern over the joker movie is warranted because according to the f.b.i. they have been picking up chatter on some dark web websites that indicate that there is talk about a possible incident that could occur somewhere at a movie theater that's been undisclosed the united states especially right now we're in such a fractured society in terms of the view of you know racial politics and how everyone views each other there is a huge concern about this idea of white males being a threat to the society in general i don't think that's an accurate assessment in terms of the actual belief that white males in general are a danger to society but this is a needy a narrative that's been playing out for some time now. and if this sounds like it's straight out of science fiction the pentagon said monday that it's seeking to boost the immunity of u.s. soldiers hoping to protect them against chemical and biological attacks through the

use of gene editing but off it is the so-called human upgrades could be weaponized his kind of molten explains. the soldier of the future won't just be battle trained and ready to kill they'll be genetically engineered to withstand a biological attack the pentagon has a plan for editing the d.n.a. and creating super soldiers why is defense advanced research projects agency doing this to protect a soldier on the battlefield from chemical weapons and biological weapons by controlling their genome have in the genome produce proteins that would automatically protect the soldier from the inside out so far the. sounds a little bit closer to science fiction perhaps a bit more fantasy than fact he will be the 1st green person. earlier this year

a chinese scientist announced that 2 girls were born with edited genomes genomes that were edited to be h.i.i. the resistant cell with potentially boundless possibilities the question now is what altered genes would a u.s. soldier need probably put some brains in them so they can question the policies they're already that soldiers i think i think how god created them is enough good enough for me are you kidding me now and well i'm asking you that the most outrageous thing i've ever heard you the benefits of d.n.a. could be could be used to have long happy maybe may be less going on things like waste wife who we use this with soldiers who don't like the idea no i don't that's sad because there's got to be consequences to that oh i change you know their strength their vision you know anything's the end anything that would make them a better. soldier or a suppose but before you let your imagination run too wild remember the u.s.

military says there is no need to worry it's all for a good cause all these technologies they are dual use you can use them for good and you can use them for evil defense advanced research projects agency is about using them for good to protect our war fighters these fantasies of the super soldier economic they tie into these fantasies of arsenal i'm deep in the superhero fantasies. better been with us for a long time and it relates to any shouldn't miss the hero the champion that doesn't mean that some of them might not be be realizable to some extent it's their main. the reasons why we should not go in that direction really it's very dangerous you don't know what kind of. what kind of sex will occur from a genetic change. interacts and often interact in the expected. as well as the fact that our ability to targets. certain cells is still far from

perfect the potential of genetic engineering should not be underestimated there's a lot that could be done beyond simply fire breathing always on fully weaponized maurier's and keep your eyes out for the genetically modified soldiers of the future unlike g.m.o. foods they may not always be labeled kaleb up and part see new york. thanks for joining us for the weekly this hour we're back in 30 minutes with more we see that . what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race and if he's on offense clearly

a dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. this is a story about what happens on astra stray bullets kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family my daughter's in florida a lot of my other daughter is buried in a cemetery it really messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose. 19 year olds black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in course. he. shot after shot as far as the side we feel. we don't know childress from. the end of this trial unfortunately due

to the will still not know childress. just 57 years through our media to play just one game so sudden this somebody comes on the praise and other good and they don't know what to do with it you know did a bistro just to temporize and i'm to continue on to the next image and election if trump is all wood to this side over a leash because a democrat saw it and disposed towards the islamic republic so you know maybe you can go back to the old james. quietly give you consistent as i quietly you believe the impression that i must.

believe in. evolution. because if only. all to do so who show you. the solutions to sin thank you. listening. we're going with this look at taking a look. we will go. into your solutions with possible some.

luck clues and lots of fish no borders if the juice from the media side of the cold by choice out for. the desert saw a school bus driver towards the future. yet their views of the full story of the who still uses for the be inspired by the. president about an unwelcome when you die yes so before me in the news i mean guys we're going to ball liking him well you know yes see. if i'm fair to assume you post the body of my job the new job was more than i did she knew the speech next see me just when you see them we. saw you in both calf and when you thought it.
