old good or all bad that stuff the point that's not that's not about expertise but the change in the world he's a symptom and the thing that we predicted it and we made a certain traditions that one predictions had won that was the main thing about that celebrity now as far as i understand this was you with your friends having time not of your friends from what i understand is the. russian government official in the yellow c.n.n. and many other western that played that video make it appear as if it was almost the official russian reaction from what you're remember of baghdad how did the kremlin react to the election of dawn chimed and was it just as ecstatic as you appeared to be well i never been to too kremlin actually so i'm sure you are watching not only the air and political scene but also the russian what i can see about russian expertise which is really close to kremlin not like me but the really

close to crime and. they were just so appalled you know they they didn't didn't know what to see because they were writing analysis. not only in newspapers and outlets but also are closed memos and they were all writing that hillary clinton will win and so we should frame our politics these this way and that way and one all this all this charm thing came out of course 1st they were just astonished surprised and they didn't know what to do that was the 1st reaction of the program and expertise i think it's fair to say that at that time there weren't many clinton fans in this city and madame clinton usually likes to say that you know putin hate her because she supported democracy and all the other. things i wonder if you believe that's factually correct do you think the kremlin's beef with. madam

clinton was ultimately about her meddling in russia's domestic affairs or was it primarily because of her legacy on the international arena well i don't think that was a special attitude any sort of a life that's that's. apparent but for a politician especially for high rank by the titian and russia to like somebody or to dislike somebody is not the way how the the the politics is shaped so they were quite ready to work with her. of course she personally represented the kind of business in washington that nobody like that that's of course but no this was known business but i mean was it about the business in washington was it about her support for actually pushing protests in moscow back in 2000. or maybe the 3rd thing was it her policy in libya which is sad i mean if you believe the rumor mill in moscow it was

a major thing that influenced by the what his decision to come back into politics in 2000 that's a fair point the 3rd point is this is a very fair one because you know all these protests and 20112012 that was already your crime and conceded itself the winner complete winner so none but i think that the middle east nothing in what was very important because not only libya but also syria. in my personal opinion well i mean for syria she wasn't there i mean she stepped on the secretary of state and what happened what happened in libya when one gets been ghazi was unfolding actually the the cia facility in benghazi was actually was governing the so-called program ocracy opposition in syria and it was raised by. state department madame clinton so this this she she had her hand in that in that game also now these shows that we saw before a few any are france celebre. we're part of a march longer c.n.n.

package that ran about a week ago about how everything. is benefiting russia and some people may may have forgotten that this idea of tying trom directly to the kremlin was actually it actually originated with the clinton camp we know from the weekend leaks e-mails that it was mike but asked there her the chairman of her campaign who came up with this idea why do you think 3 years later after the miller probe after everything that didn't stick to dylan why are they still running away with this narrative i think they just don't have anything else they have nothing else to put it if they if they if they have something broadly they would have come with something something else but you know what can you say about it's a person yes he's nonstandard. economy is roaring. and look and he's and he's think humans normally in this situation. this president goes for

the 2nd term and such kind of president goes for the 2nd term how can you pull him down these impeachment talks is the way it is is really very funny a says it's a sad scene for a man from anywhere outside united united states. i think many presidents and many political leaders did something like tom de to dual to selenski but awfully stupid to apply political pressure to get the result that you want i mean it's a it's i mean that's how politics international politics is being done and i mean we don't need to go far you know there are lots of diplomatic cables that show that the american officials do that all the time in fact that's the main way the operate both the officials and the diplomats yes exactly and so also democratic politicians in congress they also try to pressure ukraine not to investigate very small for instance oldest things out as a well known it is old it's obvious a scene from here. that's it's

a very duty political fight with no rules so in 3 years all these things like due process democracy rule of law etc etc it is old destroyed they just fighting with no rules now going back to that the search. is kremlin's puppet if we take it at face value do you think willfully on nog has indeed been beneficial to moscow because i can understand how pleasing it may be to some people in this city to see these you know global american. had tammany crumble but that it started on president obama where this one when it comes to domestic affairs i think russia is still paying a very having prize both in terms of sanctions and in terms of lost economic opportunities for having these whatever you know fictional association of it donald trump well i don't think so because 80 percent of sanctions were imposed on the under the under obama as and so the columns are section sanctions that russia has

imposed on some food products from europe and united states it's made in 3 years it made in the russian economy and russian for the action a little bit stronger so beneficial for russia is not what trump is doing but probably what it is not doing for instance he in the contrary to his predecessors he did not start any war because bush sr bush jr mr clinton mr obama the old start of the war in the 1st 3 years john did not so probably it is it is a little bit safer and more predictable in these perspectives on the other hand all the world is changing it is a turbulent world and. it's not personally mr trump who is making the world that dangerous place he is just the symptom of the change that's it now i mentioned the expression opportunity costs and in his later. interview with fox president trump

vantive he's frustration about how these and he'll doing effort on the part of the democrats is costing the country and he seemed to be very genuinely unearthed by that and yet i know that you claimed at all to mislead the whole impeachment proceeding is playing a very handsome only into his own hands how come well look. until now all these hearings. are looking like a great great offensive using very big resources spent on this offensive this offensive failed so of course it's playing into the hands of the of the other side so. as far as polls are concerned although there are a lot of disagreements about where the where americans are looking after the impeachment but in the metro effect is that nothing changed dramatically which means as if nothing happened in congress and therefore he just

he's standing where he stood before the impeachment hearing started no nixon moment nothing no no no even clinton moments so easy is i think even much stronger now so they're really playing in his hands. i don't know if you would agree with me but i think the democrats are becoming increasingly slopped fear in the way they go about it take for example the latest letter by house speaker nancy pelosi in which she made all on the record remark that leaving the issue off in the white house to the elections would be a weak and dangerous choice and we have original vs various soviet sounding to my ear yeah but i mean exactly that's what i was going to ask you i think which ever way you interpret that that's a hair raising statement from an election elected official in a constitutional democracy yes exactly and it for

a person born in a soviet union that sounds exactly like party leader would speak to let's say you know in a big city with his comrades don't do that that's a weak position it's not how the party should think. in that same letter madame madame pelosi also mentioned that. there was it was hard to reach and the duty of her colleagues to defend the constitution from all anime's both domestic and foreign and i'm sure you would agree with me that the democrats have already started casting the 2020 vote as either compromised or perhaps sam illegitimate do you think we have seen the worst of this squabble or do you think divorce to see have to come i think that now the fight will proceed that's that's for sure nobody is going to step back and that's the most dangerous

think about about's all this this is becoming very we are done a very scary because it's really a civil conflict it's not just conflict around donald trump it's a civil conflict in nuclear power and it's scary and it involves another in nuclear power as supposedly waging that. conflict exactly exactly so we're told that just that just think it's becoming from fantasy from funny to scary is going is going in this direction or as we like to say here in russia it would have been the egg great fun if it wasn't so sad yeah exactly well me too we have to take a very short break now but we will be back in just a few moments stay tuned. ah

. good. in his community there are people who believe that it's ok to sell frac food on my table it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with arguments there's a lot of conflict in the game between the teams most of the conflict i would say

over balls around money and most of their money is made. plus one on the children's cosimo each other is good business the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison complex just to get some 20 a life where. you don't care anymore nobody cares about your so you don't care might anything. what politicians do you show me that. you put themselves on the line and they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be close this is what before 3 of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. last question. thinking of getting a new phone the ones we got in here shows no problem was he didn't know until he

was trapped in this tiny little wired we don't need a crate with him he will just. freaking out and she will want to spray him in any where near and thousands of breeding dogs are caged in in 2 main conditions on puppy phone i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in a cage outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the courtier the rain the snow the funder nothing they have no protection. to get you. to get through kid. across the u.s. cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and pet stores most of the puppies that are coming from these large scale factory farming kind of operations are being sold in stores even joined a group businesses are involved like ogling mom santa there has been a shocking amount of organized opposition to adverts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding for so many days most of that opposition

is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with jobs don't buy dog. welcome back to worlds apart. it would need a russian journalist be to focus on american politics. and off about trump let's talk about the other candidates just as the impeachment proceedings were gathering steam the democratic field god even wider former new york city mayor and one of the world's richest man mike bloomberg on to the race. i wonder if you take that as an indication at least in some corners that joe biden who was thought to be the sort of the democratic frontrunner in the bass hope of defeating trump that he

star may be fading well he says his star started to fade in 2015 when he refused to run democrats though he has been adamantly reasons at that time he said to have family reasons i think that party just persuaded him not to run and even now there are rumors that obama is now persuading him not to run. though i think that the democratic party the main thing for them is not just weaning back the white house i think. experts understand that that is that is unreachable that is beyond reach so what are they doing it's the main problem is inside the democratic party who is a power new socialists or the old liberal establishment that's that's the point that's the that's the that's the name of the fight you just mentioned president obama and he has been surprisingly absent from all of this i mean i would never see him on television to be never see him criticizing donald trump as some of his.

body piers you know that there were some indirect statements about impropriety of propriety of certain gestures but overall he is he seems to be out of politics do you think that's the case how much influence do you think he still has within the democratic party i think he has enough influence. least that's that's the one of the reasons why she's he's so quiet because. if he if he says something in favor of the candidates that will be that will be a bombshell but the he speaks so some closed events lately some news came out that he was asking the democratic donors to pay more attention to the centrists to be more to the center that's american people are not yet rebelution or a nation all the things came out but for the press for t.v. you know he's he's silent because he has too much influence and now speaking about

the centrist this is definitely how mike bloomberg would like to position himself pretty much like trump he ran for office as a republican as an independent as a democrat he is a businessman he's pouring his own money into the complaint although in much bigger numbers do you think trump has any reason to be concerned about bloomberg i don't think so i don't think so although michael bloomberg looks like you know the mirror brother all 4 of the trump to be had to be a donald trump on the democratic side but i think what michael bloomberg bloomberg is doing wisely is that he's saying let's bring america back to normality a little i think the world is already moved away far away from the from so-called normality of the old years and but the main thing why bloomberg is inside as you make radical primaries is to make i think that's that's my that's my that's my point that he's trying to make the democratic national convention

a contested one you know one of the things that struck me about the coverage of bloomberg actually into the race was the fact that the republicans even the trump ists seem to be far more respectful of him than some of the democrats i mean i was watching steve valens interview on on fox and he was very gracious about bloomberg he didn't think that bloomberg has the charisma to be trump but he. sad that he's sophisticated he's resourceful and off to change the color station to change the the flow of the democratic campaign do believe that to be the case and it will be well could be the case at least who we have no reason not to not to not to believe mr ben-ami because mr bannon this is a very noble 1st and about about what is going on in washington what what bennett said actually was that bloomberg invested into 25 come things in 2018 and he was 23 of them so he knows how the how the how these game is played he. said is that

bloomberg knows how to apply money to politics but he also said money in and of itself is not enough you have to have the charisma and one of the criticisms of mike bloomberg is that he is clever he has a lot of resources but he lacks the. communicative style that you need these days to reach out to the ordinary voter well i think the let's say the idea of his image makers of mr bloomberg is just to bring back the now not at the let's go to the very dull times will everything was just quiet nothing happens no trump nothing of this no populist no socialist just back to business that could that could play out in some and some hearts of democrats well i i may disagree with you partially at this because i think the funny thing about bloomberg is that on the one hand he tries to position himself as an alternative to the leftist wing of beth warrant and bernie sanders for the other had when you look at his policy agenda it

is it's not cleft he's done left to fish and i think that sounds a lot about what the democratic party has become this union off super reach with this socialist slash anarchists do you think that's a sustainable coupling is that a sustainable arrangement out and where do you see the damps moving ideologically as they deal with the challenge of donald trump well i don't think they will produce a serious challenge to donald trump in 2020 but as far as necrotic are what i want i mean is that donald trump is giving a substantial challenge and they have to come up with some ideological agenda that and that's and then also the social order you cannot defeat with the old old style you can try to defeat him with socialism but that's that americans will to american voters to decide whether they buy socialism or not but socialism was politically

would say the very if to say new idea for americans and it's very popular among younger people but in general the they should couple with with the reach people that's that's should happen because this is a united states of america where politics is big money. what are you essentially saying is that the democratic party is becoming the old republican party that was supported by big corporate donors but claims you appeal to the average. public and party over that was appealing to the creator of the socialists in the in the democratic party the destructors they try to disrupt the the society disrupt the family disrupt everything so this is more like you know some rich people in the old of the poor supporting bolsheviks this more or less resembling the times that's an interesting and now since we mentioned bloomberg let me ask you about another on last child of the democratic party and i'm talking about to see galbraith who is

now presented as yet another kremlin puppet and i think it's true that her and she wore rhetoric makes her popular in russia but that certainly doesn't justify calling her a putin's girl. why do you see the democrats are so persistent in calling him playing doc card is that because as you said before perhaps that they cannot come up with anything else or maybe that's because they still believe it could be a fact. i don't think they even even they believe that this is the case but it's it's a convenient talking points like he didn't work with trump i mean what chance there is of it working with a 90. if you don't know it's not a lot of ticks they had courage to acknowledge that some things did not work let's not start it once again then after iraq they would not start to leave they're not trying to do the same thing with syria and iran but at least there were there were

there was different context here the context is the same and the allegations of the save the i mean they awarded him exact same war yes and the by the way have voiced by the way by the very same people because one of the people propagating this smear is none other than hillary clinton again yes and by the way if you if you remember republican rand paul was also questioned whether he works for putin so i think that it's also comes up to to chomp to pull and to to suggest that you cannot question the 2 party consensus about foreign policy if you challenge the consensus this militaristic consensus then you are the enemy of the nation that's what they're trying to see the easiest way to say this is to say that your real assets of tremont because otherwise it will be too artsy too complicated for american people just see all this is the russian game now this russian agent smear presupposes that

whatever russia aspires to is automatically bad and i'm american and clearly that's the you know the the most primitive primitive form of bigotry but i think what's ironic is that it's being propagated by the wing of the democratic party that has had the most extensive contacts with the kremlin i mean both of the bidens of the clintons they have dealt with russia and those interactions were not always the. that negative if you know what i mean and to deny that ride to the trumpet ministration to have any sort of relationship with moscow isn't that ultimately a betrayal of american national interest because whatever you think about russia i think everybody would understand that washington and moscow as 2 nuclear powers a bound to have some sort of a relationship and hopefully. adversarial one well i say this

it's exactly right and you know good experts. people who think. they see the same thing in the united states i can i can name a couple of full colleagues of yours. central to the cable television in the united states that are just putting the same point but the problem is with this with this establishment just it is still there you know it is the problem is here is that they're trying to. preserve their power and their power is just rooted in militaristic foreign policy and in the policy of tearing russia over there is nothing to deter anymore but these roots in this cold war. ideology if you put away the cold war. the establishment is god and so they

understand that a soon as the cold war is gone and the dialogue or whatever begins between the great powers they lose their power and that's a problem for them that's why that's why they're still sticks to this old narrative well that's the problem not only for them but for has as well but we have to leave it there thank you very much for sharing your insights with us it's been a pleasure i encourage our viewers to keep this conversation going on our social media pages as for me and the team we hope to syria get on the same place same time on worlds apart.
