the actions of the police are having people react to it so as you know the police and indigenous communities don't really necessarily have the best of relationships and many of these communities do not want to be a for federal or provincial police within their territories so the police coming in and doing what they're doing is a backlash is happening it truly is and it seems that at least $2.00 and $5.00 canadians are in support of these protests that said you have to look at the bigger numbers saying that they want these protests to end because it is having an impact on the economy the province of quebec alone their premier says that they're losing about $100000000.00 a day so in that respect the protesters are getting their job done they are being heard they are being seen the media is paying attention now the question is what happens to that pipeline as you mentioned it's a gas pipeline that runs through some of the most pristine territories that we have in canada in northern british columbia and according to the hereditary chiefs they

don't want to see it in on their lands simply because that it could lead to some type of environmental disaster at one point or another we know that pipelines are 100 percent and the 2nd of all it is their territory so they're saying and the canadian supreme court has agreed that they have their laws on their territory they way that they run their territories according to them and that the canadian government should stay out of it. and alex how effective have the fall of any protest rail blockade bennett pressuring trudeau's government to reverse course on this back and pipeline. problem triodes government is that they're walking a tight rope at this point so you're looking at a country divided here or is amounts of issue pipelines are a massive issue and of course gas falls into this game as well so when you're talking about what's happening right now you're going to have provinces like alberta screaming bloody murder their premier jason kenney who is an. massive

proponent of oil and the expansion of oil projects in this country he's you know pushing forward and saying that these people should be arrested the a conservative government share their their government the conservative leader who was the opposition leader in our parliament he's also he was pushing trudeau to let's arrest these guys let the rule of law fall into place well we've seen what's happened once the police have taken action this is not stopping the protests what this is doing is just making the protests grow so you have the regular protests from coast to coast in many cities and then you have these blockades these blockades as you mentioned tyrrel are not necessarily always actually on railroad tracks except but what has happened with the video that you most likely showed of people being arrested outside or in these blockades you know what the next stage of the blockades was burning tires on railroad tracks so this is the issue now the burning of tires this is an environmental thing as well so a lot of people that had support and actually felt for these protesters or say why

the heck are you burning tires that is not environmentally sound so you know this game is being played all over the place and for the trio government is just a very difficult thing to walk this tightrope the other side being that they promised the indigenous peoples of this country that this government was going to pay more attention to their needs and as it stands right now this issue is going to prove if that is so. you know it really does show at the end of the day you'll discover a protest really does have an effect when you especially look at like the economic effect of just blocking a few real ones had a little bit like you mentioned this is really hurt the canadian economy i mean it's made everyone pay attention to what's going on up there thank you so much for updating us on the current situation in canada always a pleasure having you on alex. thank you. key components of a controversial n.s.a. program that allows the u.s. government to collect metadata on its citizens through

a rubber stamp approval are set to expire in 3 weeks the top administration wants to reauthorize those provisions but he's getting pushback from congress party's fan joins me now in bearing on the house and senate on board with this well the short answer me is going to pretty much be no and let me tell you why so what congress is going to be voting on ironically the ides of march if you like superstition it's the renewal of section $215.00 in the usa freedom act but what's interesting is some parts of the house and senate they want to keep some of these parts but the other parts they actually don't so here we need to look at the 4 parts so section 215 which is the one that's actually calling all causing all the problems it's actually going to be the 1st one the 1st is the roving wiretap which actually gives government the right to continue surveillance on a court approved national security target when the target is taking steps to not be surveilled the 2nd business records where the government can collect records like your driver's license your passports any business records that you have and other

documents relative to a national security investigation this all again without a warrant not a lone wolf provision allows the government to surveil a foreign person who's engaged in terrorism but lacks any connections to the terrorist group or foreign power now these are like many of the lone wolf gunman that we're seeing posting things on social media and then going and shooting up their workplace but it's the last one that has congress literally asking why are we keeping this. it's the call of detail records that allows the target a collection of telephone metadata like the incoming and outgoing calls from a specific number but allegedly not looking at the content of the calls again all done without a warrant and it's this one that the call detail records that the con that congress doesn't want to keep but we're seeing a lot of bipartisan support on keeping all of the other 3 provisions provisions but just not that last one. and are you now the biggest thing is you actually look at 2015 to 2019 how much of this all costs will take

a look here $100000000.00 that's how much it cost out of the 50 reports total though 13 out information that the f.b.i. was actually able to get through other methods so it goes to show it only really helped in 2 cases meaning it's pretty useless especially with a 100000000 dollars price tag of asia. exactly now president trump but more importantly bill barr just wishing for congress to vote yes on all of those authorities to yes so again that date kind of very infamous in history bill barr you know he might actually for a private lunch with some of the top republicans yesterday on tuesday to make a case for the extension of all of those provisions part of section 215 now you had senate judiciary chairman lindsey graham you have the g.o.p. leader of the house of the senate intelligence committee john cornyn of texas saying no to call to the call detail records provision but yes to the other 3 parts

and that view is actually being shared by both democrats and republicans but guys don't think that our by excuse me bipartisanship is actually here just yet there are some house republicans who are kind of not happy over the use of the warrants to spy on former trump campaign associate carter page if you're a member and it's these republicans that want to include section $215.00. that that new like a warrant the pfizer warrant changes but bart told the republicans at. actually in their little private meeting that he can use his regulatory powers to make those changes so we're seeing a little bit of a quid pro quo here you don't have to add this in but you have to vote for all the parts of section 215 if you know the broadway smash musical hamilton you know like one of my favorite songs on the show the want to be in the room where i have you know where it's like you don't know always say you don't know where the deal was made but could we be seeing that here from my all my broadway lovers out there it's good you carry them through you here you go to. the hoo boy this is one of those

things that bothers me because i'm i'm against all of the above right you know i've since i would slowed essentially blew the whistle when they opened you know blew the whistle and pulled back the curtain how they're going to say operates i've not been a fan of the owner say ever since. our congress is essentially just handed everything over to them without any real any real kind of like checks and balances really not just what it is we're the trumps asking for this outdated absolutely i think that you know the cost effectiveness of this also goes into play dr as you stated earlier period they were so much money thrown at this project and what in we surveil thousands of people and got information for how many cases and one of the other part about that too is that you know when edward snowden broke this you know congress was actually questioned about this and congress came back and said all no no no no no no we actually were able to thwart and stop 54 cases of terrorism and

terroristic plots and then surprisingly surprisingly that was debunked and that was a bunch of you know what and so that's where it's very interesting to look at this now and seeing that here we were lied to about those $54.00 cases here we were told that this is such a great program however it's outdated it's been you know around since 2015 it's not cost effective it doesn't help the f.b.i. with any. thing else because they it's shown that the f.b.i. can go to other different methods to find a lot of this information about me i'm going to more days do we have to wait and find out how this is all going to play out so the biggest thing tyrrel is that congress has 14 working days to figure this all out and if there is a divide this is where the problem comes in people so if there is a divide congress could actually pass another blanket reform where all sections of $215.00 go through and we're not looking at that this this whole call detail thing happening until the end of this year so we could be being spied on technically till

the end of the year split on trying to excite aren't thank you so much for coming on always a pleasure it's great breakdown of what's going on. all right as we go to break off watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered them fair and sitting in the previous segment on our social media and be sure to be sure as well to sign up for exclusive newsletter at bit dot lease slash watching the parks you can also start watching the hawks on demand the brand new portable t.v.'s which is available on smartphones through google play and the apple app store by simply searching for the ball coming up we break down the recent south carolina debates and the impending super tuesday that will more than likely side who the democrats will be running for president of the united states this november state to the bottom.

and not only. still must. not always true. actually. there is no know not. in a way at all of them ok if there. was not a master plan a. battle they only asked me about it was that it would not have been. the one that had been. given. the name not.

what the how do we. know those they need the whole. lot out not. just. c.n.n. violence that's also very important the smart. ass to the who can influence. the nature and. polarity in the. structure of the brain decided to show her extra. some function so i hope for the best of life in the book. and the united states presidential candidates debate the future of the u.s. and the world. max kaiser and stacy herbert dig into the burning questions of this

election cycle one topic every week. tax student debt trade wars corporate money universal basic income and more catch up with what's front running this sunday exclusively on r.t. . seemed wrong. to say proud. as a kid and engagement. to trail. one song find themselves worlds apart. for common ground. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage street thugs of northern ireland that was coordinated

loyalists attacks. population of tens of are forced to flee their homes but these attacks was a p.r. you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of coal streets in belfast at the time more than a 100 innocent civilians were unloaded as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent. to which the collusion was involved in some of those cases the killers would later be named. i think it went to the very very top i think it. was the water where politicians knew. and give the go ahead.

the democratic debate in south carolina was spelled ational in many ways south carolina fans of the saw. all of the south the gateway to the black community and if you know anything about the democratic party it depends heavily on the turnout of its most loyal base black voters you think issues of racial justice economic mobility housing and health care plans specifically dedicated to the thousands of black women dying or shortly after childbirth would be a top agenda item the mortality the maternal mortality rate in america rivals that of developing nations yep those types of issues should have been paramount last night but they didn't receive as much attention as the low hanging fruit. attacks

on bernie sanders were expected after all he's at the top of the leaderboard we saw former vice president joe biden slam sanders on the cost of his medicare for all proposal his lack of ability to move legislation or develop consensus during his time the senate and the feasibility of his policy proposals mayor bloomberg performed better this go round in the less but considering his 1st debate disaster the only way to go was up mayor pete landed hard hits against sanders specifically targeting his brain of socialism and how it would hurt down ballot races for democrats and quote the odd battle of winning over for ever red states leaving warren to ramp up attacks on bloomberg uncharacteristic night and a rumor that the democratic party charged $1750.00 for people to attend the debate here to break it all down for us is our debate panel of experts joining us is national political outreach coordinator for bernie sanders 2016 nick brown thank you very much for coming home so you've lived through all of this fun excitement

before some of you actually you both have only lived through one storm through you know what babs campaign back in 98 why this was a this was crazy and i want to you you brought it up to me earlier today the thing with bloomberg and bloomberg thing with bernie i'm going after the stuff was insane yeah i feel like people are we're in a different era now so we saw the attacks on bernie regarding his comments on cuba his comments his previous comments on communism all things that we knew that he'd say in 2060 this is not a new revelation but we saw them brought up last night and there were boos from the crowd i think that we're in a different stage at this point where people are so far out from from what they thought of cuba and what they thought of the castro regime it's 2020 i don't know if the people who are necessarily sane or supporters care or if we're in this different cycle where the understanding of government sometimes doing things that people don't necessarily like or you know uncovering

a lot. the shady things that go on behind behind the closed doors is something that the american public is now more used to seeing that people distrust the american government as well. we're just in a different spot they think that those types of attacks don't really land well for bernie i don't think they do either and in fact i think they're a sign of the desperation of the democratic party to stop him what we've seen ever since the nevada win has been kind of like a scatter shot shotgun approach you know just throw everything you can at bernie see if anything sticks you know you've got you've got the criticisms on his position on guns before and nothing is working because for the most part it's all been done before you know and bernie's response to a lot of things has has been perfect i mean bernie's response for example the one of the biggest critiques against him has been that of socialism you know why do you call yourself a socialist and so we got this in the bay he got it also in the town halls before that he's been good he got it all throughout 26 and he leans in on it he did it does not run away from the socialism branding at all it's fantastic it's fantastic

and he goes further than that he says what we have right now is socialism is just socialism for the rich and it's socialism for corporations he piso he's branded now corporate socialism and he talks about the walton family and how the richest family in the world and how they're workers that wall markets subsidize with buy food stamps and how how taxpayers pay for that i think in those debate processes in the elections that $1.00 attacks come with especially if they're attacking you on something that's the basis of your platform you could you totally should lead him to the polls should be proud of it because to me that shows strength of your belief system i think the expectation is that he will run away and he's like you know he's a duck letting it slide off his back and he's going for this and i think that his branding of corporate socialism actually helps him because he's saying the government is already doing this they're just choosing who to do it for and if you already have that pocket you're getting this everybody else is left to fend for themselves but the other thing that found interesting was that obviously south carolina is the largest black caucus and we're seeing you know more and more of

a. come out and it's supposed to be biden's firewall so biden has to really show up and show up in large number for this to actually help him going into super tuesday but what we're seeing are polls that show us that younger black voters are actually breaking with biden most of them are going towards a sanders older black voters seem to be in the same in the same bucket provided they haven't really moved since since he joined this race but if younger voters come out to the tune that they did in nevada we might see a very different type of race. bernie even within possibly winning i mean and if he finishes within a few points behind that is an enormous victory as well his victory with latino voters was tremendous in nevada despite the efforts of the political machinery there in even in contravention to the biggest union the call an area workers there and so it's clear that this attack that was hillary clinton's kind of number one attack against bernie sanders that he doesn't have appeal to people of color is

just a nonstarter this time you know who seems not to have appeal to people of color elizabeth warren so we could have we've seen we've seen black superstars like john legend come out in support of her we even saw black lives matter come out in support of her she is still polling in the low think of digits in south carolina why is elizabeth warren's contained only a question. that's a good question i don't i think it's because she comes across as a liberal coastal elite and she does not essentially connect with voters in the same way that bernie does because she's kind of been the one person trying to straddle both you know i mean what she's kind of saying we're going to want to appeal to the moderates of the party don't want to purell to the extreme you know using those labels but i want to appear to the social side of the party and also the corporate side of the party so i'm trying to balance the 2 where you really can allude i think that she is being more responsive to what you're hearing from some of the polls and some of the major media networks around what people want which i think it's historically true of democrats but we are in a whole different era what people wanted in 2000 isn't what people want. what

people want in 2008 isn't what people want now so we're in this space where i think she's trying to straddle the fence of being not being too left but also trying to grab the moderate voters as well and she kind of lost our way because as she you know when she originally announced she seemed a lot closer to barney there was very little distinction because she was with her wall street over the last you know yeah no doubt she was for she was one of the original co-sponsors of medicare for all she sense away backed away from that she said she was going to take corporate money she's never see sense backed away from that in the general election so she moved towards the moderate and you know towards the moderate side and her numbers went down ever since then she's never been doing as well as she was in like october and i want to ask everyone here to this is a just we have super tuesday coming up pretty much even if bernie gets like let's say 2nd even 3rd because he got shellacked in south carolina with you know back in 2016 but if he gets the 3rd or 2nd or whims that's a big deal super tuesday though is going to pretty much decided either and who's going to be the nomination. with

a group of moderates who judge clo but char by you know with the kind of corporate middle that still being represented there are you know who do you think should drop out 1st because the only way that i think they're going to have a shot at getting bernie at this point is they've all got to drop out get behind one of the some of the ring that they got to consolidate who drops out burst through there there's no doubt about it i think stiers going to leave he's burned a lot of money and i don't think he doesn't seem to have any traction in any other races as well i think there's going to be enormous pressure also on blue to get to get out because he went all in on new hampshire and iowa but he doesn't have that much appeal in the rest of the country and so especially after super tuesday he's too proud to leave before super tuesday but after super tuesday i think he's going to be out to you know enormous establishment pressure and i also think i agree with you i think super tuesday is going to determine in fact whether we're heading towards a contested convention you know whether bernie's going to win. whether you know

he's going to try to win it our right of course but the most likely scenario is that we have a contested convention but what's become clear from nevada and how he's polling in super tuesday is that the cost of stopping bernie with the convention who of super delegates and the moderates pooling their delegates would destroy the democratic party and reelect from the right i think i also think which are and dire need to go to judge he feels like he has the money he's a breakthrough he didn't get the cold a strong strong man for my will like we would generally see because i would turned out to be a huge debacle but after super tuesday there are a lot of states of people of color you haven't been doing well with people of color growth this country i don't see that changing in the next few days you're not going to where they're going to say thank you so much for breaking it down for us today always a pleasure having you on definitely come back again so it's been great. black american innovators and achievers rarely get their flowers while they're alive to smell them thankfully a mathematician and physicist catherine johnson was johnson played a pivotal role in that of early space exploration program her calculations were
